The Sterling Hotel, seen from Market Street, was once a prestigious place to stay. The city hopes to tear it down and end the detours considered necessary for safety reasons.

“Needless to say, it’s a day that I expected to arrive,” architect Carl Handman of Eyerman Csala Hapeman and Handman on Public Square. “Unfortunately, given the current state of the Hotel Sterling building, I understand why we are at this point today.” He said the Sterling Hotel isn’t a great piece of architecture, but it has meant a lot to a lot of people. He called the Sterling “a great piece of background architecture.” “It’s not a great design,” Handman said. “But it has so much sentimental value to so

many.” Handman said it’s unfortunate that proper mothballing wasn’t undertaken 10 years ago that could have possibly saved the building. “Demolition was probably the only option now,” he said. Drew McLaughlin, the city’s administrative coordinator, said the city has $270,000 it can devote to the demolition. He said the city hopes the county will share in the cost and a future developer may also help pay for the razing. See STERLING, Page 10A

HANOVER TWP. – For want of a fence, 40 jobs were lost? For the corporation that owns the former Bertels Can Co. building in Hanover Industrial Estates – and the agency trying to sell the property – the answer is yes. A buyer promised up to 40 jobs if he could put his retail heavy equipment business in the empty space, but a requirement that he install a “screen fence” – something rarely seen around other businesses in the park – scotched the deal. For the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry, which has been divesting ownership of properties in the park but still oversees it, the anNewman swer is no. The fence requirement is imposed by a “covenant” “Unfortu- established 1982, and a decision nately, not by an architectural review committee requiring the prospective all sites buyer to install a fence sticks to work for all the covenant. “Hanover Industrial Estates, types of like many business parks, has lebusiness- gal covenants that run with the title to the property and outline es.” issues like the uses allowed and Larry Newman the appearance of buildings,” Chamber vice chamber Vice President Larry president Newman said. The covenants “make sure the park maintains the same character over the years as it has when people originally purchased property.” The covenant disputed in this matter is a requirement that “No materials, supplies or equipment, including company-owned or operated trucks, shall be stored in any area on a site except inside a closed building, or behind a visual barrier screening such areas from the view of adjoining properties and/or a public street.” Dennis Weaver, a sales associate for the company handling the sale of the Bertels building, said the rule seems sparsely applied. “It’s not at all obvious when you walk or drive into the park that there is any screening requirement at all, or that such a covenant exists,” Weaver said. Newman and chamber real estate/special projects coordinator Ross Macarty said there are two reasons for that: First: the park is about 20 years older than the covenant, and businesses that were there before the covenant are “grandfathered” and not necessarily beholden to the covenant; second, the screening is only required if a company is storing equipment or vehicles outside the building. Many of the businesses have nothing outside beyond employee parking, Macarty noted. Weaver said the potential buyer had offered to See BERTELS, Page 10A

ILKES-BARRE – The city received and opened 14 bids Friday for the demolition of the Sterling Hotel, ranging from $486,000 to more than $1.1 million. The bids will now be tabulated and evaluated, a process that will take about two weeks. • City officials said the plan is to have the landmark 7-story building at the intersection of West Market and North River streets reduced to a pile of rubble by the end of the summer.

Plan requires Mitt Romney winning presidency and party controlling Senate.

WASHINGTON — Turned away at the Supreme Court, congressional Republicans sketched a strategy Friday to repeal the nation’s health care law in 2013 that requires a sweeping election victory carrying Mitt Romney to the presidency and the party at least to narrow control of the Senate.

INSIDE: States looking to abandon Medicaid expansion, Page 7A.

Romney sought to turn the court’s decision upholding the two-year-old law into a campaign battle cry, saying the 5-4 ruling had injected “greater urgency” into his challenge to President Barack Obama. “I think many people assumed that the Supreme Court would do the work that was necessary in repealing Obamacare,” he said, adding that the justices “did not get that job done.” Several Republicans seized on a portion of Chief Justice John

Roberts’ majority opinion that said the centerpiece of the law, a requirement to purchase insurance, was constitutional because it is based on Congress’ power to impose a tax. "Those who will end up paying the heaviest burden for not buying governmentmandated insurance won’t be the wealthiest Americans, but the very middle class families the president claims to defend,” said Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. The White House said that was an argument it was happy to have.

Lower gas prices and a midweek Independence Day could mean a record number of Luzerne and Columbia County residents will hit the highways and airways for the six-day holiday travel period that begins Tuesday. “A combination of the calendar and economy are coming together to generate a bump in travel volume that exceeds the previous high-water mark set in 2007, which, not coincidentally, was the last time July 4th also fell on a Wednesday,” said Jenny M. Robinson, manager of public and government affairs for AAA Mid-Atlantic. Robinson said the economy is a huge factor in travel decisions and after a few down years because of the recession, things are starting to turn around. “People now are starting to take the trips that they may have postponed in past years, even though some economic concerns remain,” she said. AAA Mid-Atlantic projects that 55,493 Wilkes-Barre area residents will travel 50 miles or more from their home this Fourth of July holiday, an increase of 4.6 percent from last year’s five-day travel holiday. When those surveyed were asked what day they would begin their holiday travel, 54 percent said prior to the start of the July 4 work week. Friday was the biggest departure day. One quarter of those traveling said they will leave Friday to start their holiday getaway. Sixteen percent said

WILKES-BARRE – Standing in Kirby Park where thousands of people will gather to celebrate America’s 236th birthday on Wednesday, law enforcement and drug and alcohol officials warn about the dangers of driving under the influence. “With the summer and especially the July 4th holiday, we see more DUI crashes and fatalities,” said Rebecca Rybak, coordinator for Northeast Highway Safety Program, on Friday. “There are going to be thousands of people traveling to cookouts, picnics and fireworks displays such as here in Kirby Park and we want everyone to arrive and go home safely.” State and local police, along with Pennsylvania Department of Transportation District 4-0, are

they will embark on July 4th. On April 6, motorists paid a year-to-date peak average price of $3.94 per gallon for regular gasoline. On Wednesday, the local average was $3.26 per gallon. On July 4, 2011, the average was $3.46. Robinson said gas prices still are historically high and the drop will not be a significant factor in travel decisions since the savings on a tankful will be less than the cost of one fast-food meal. While 84 percent of local travelers said they will get to their destinations by automobile, 7 percent said they’ll fly. That’s a 9.4 percent increase over the number who said they would fly last year. “The big increase in planned air travel is mainly due to the holiday happening on a Wednesday,” Robinson said. “When a ho-

HEIDELBERG TWP. – A Dallas Township woman was one of five people killed in a twovehicle crash in Lehigh County on Thursday afternoon. State police at Bethlehem identified the woman as 22year-old Cecilia R. Besecker. She was a passenger in a 1997 Subaru sedan driven by Nicholas A. Gustafson, 22, of Orefield, state police said. Besecker was a 2008 graduate of Dallas High School and attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She worked at the Applebee’s restaurant in Wilkes-Barre Township.

State police said Gustafson was traveling north on Bake Oven Road when he failed to stop at a stop sign and collided with a 1997 Chevrolet tow truck driven by Charles P. Oswald, 58, of Schnecksville, at about 2:36 p.m. Oswald’s truck was towing a box truck and was traveling west on Mountain Road when he struck the Subaru, state police said. The vehicles traveled off the roadway and came to rest. Oswald and the four people in the Subaru were pronounced dead at the scene by the Lehigh County Coroner’s office.

liday falls midweek, people are more likely to take a full week off or most of the week. With more time off, travelers have more flexibility to travel farther – and air travel is a good option for longer distances. Compare that to a Monday holiday, where people typically just have three days off, and stick closer to home.” The average miles traveled nationally this upcoming holiday will be 723 roundtrip, according to AAA projections. Locally, the total is lower, about 650 miles. That has more to do with location than anything else, Robinson said. “Motorists in this region can drive in any direction and find a variety of destinations and activities, from the beach to the mountains and everywhere in between, all on a tank of gas or less,” the AAA release states.

It’s a bird of a new feather A sandhill crane shows up locally. Experts see a possible trend. By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

The Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA mailed nearly 50 drawings to deployed troops.

NEWS

UNION TWP. – Estella Naugle is used to seeing turkeys, deer and other wildlife around her Hunlock Creek home. But the bird that has been

showing up regularly in the field behind her house had Naugle a bit perplexed. “I saw it by the turkey decoys and I had no idea what it was,” she said. “It was very unusual and looked kind of weird.” A call to the Pennsylvania Game Commission confirmed that the bird is indeed unusual to Northeastern Pennsylvania. Agency officials visited Naugle’s and identified the bird as a

sandhill crane. Game Commission Northeast Region Wildlife Management Supervisor Kevin Wenner said only a few nesting pairs of sandhill cranes have ever been documented in Northeastern Pennsylvania – none in Luzerne County. Naugle said the crane appears in the field daily, mainly in the morning, and she has been able to approach within10

feet of the bird, which stands approximately 4 feet tall and has a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. “I check for it every morning and evening and it’s become a common sight here,” Naugle said. “We still enjoy watching it and we watched it land the other morning, which was amazSUBMITTED PHOTO ing to see.” Naturalist Rick Koval has A sandhill crane, seen in this Pa.

Flood program in bill

The U.S. Senate on Friday passed a Highway Bill that reauthorizes the National Flood Insurance Program for five years, but strips a provision that would have forced residents living behind the Wyoming Valley Levee System and other levees constructed by the federal government to purchase flood insurance. The flood insurance program had been extended 12 times in four years and had not received a full reauthorization since 2004. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, and others pushed for a long-term extension of the program and Casey give residents of flood-prone areas and those buying and selling homes in those areas peace of mind. In a statement, Casey said: “I was gratified that it was passed by a bipartisan vote. I was also pleased that the mandatory insurance requirement which would have arbitrarily penalized unsuspecting families was stripped from the bill.” A group of southern senators had pressed for language in the bill mandating owners of property protected by levees but within a 100-year floodplain buy flood insurance, arguing it would ease the burden of taxpayers footing the bill for new levees built after Hurricane Katrina. Casey said it would have forced more than 1 million Pennsylvania residents whose homes are protected by levees to purchase the insurance. The National Flood Insurance Program insured nearly 9,000 homes and businesses in Luzerne County prior to the September flooding. WILKES-BARRE

W-B Area explores quitting schools health trust Notice is sparked by Lake-Lehman threatening to exit, seeing discount. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Call it a matter of disappearing trust. Wilkes-Barre Area School Board members offered no explanation Thursday when they voted to give one-year’s notice the district may withdraw from the Northeast Pennsylvania School Health Trust. But on Friday board President Maryanne Toole cited what has rapidly become a sore spot for members of the trust: Lake-Lehman School District got a big discount in premiums this coming year and other member districts saw no such savings.

“We’re trying to come up with some solutions as to how we can reduce insurance costs,” Toole said. And when Lake-Lehman landed the discount, it made sense for WilkesToole Barre Area to seek similar savings, either through the trust or outside of it. The trust requires one-year notice before a member can withdraw, and a member can only withMcGovern draw July 1, the start of the fiscal year. So giving that notice now gives Wilkes-Barre Area more options as it looks for savings.

“There is no plan at this time to withdraw,” Toole said. “But we have a year to come up with a strategy and see if there is some agency or company that might be able to help us.” In April, Lake-Lehman Superintendent James McGovern said he found a broker offering insurance coverage comparable to current policies but saving the district up to $1 million the first year. He shared the information with other districts, then planned to make the switch while continuing dental and eye insurance through the trust, thus technically not leaving the consortium with 11 members. Both the teacher union and the trust balked, filing legal action that was ultimately resolved with a closed door meetSee TRUST, Page 4A

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge said Friday she will make a ruling within the next two weeks regarding a request by Onix Gorbea-Lespier’s attorney to have a blood-alcohol test taken shortly after a fatal car accident thrown out as evidence. Judge Lesa Gelb heard testimony Friday relating to Gorbea-Lespier’s case. Gorbea-Lespier, 50, is charged with homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, aggravated assault by vehicle and two counts of DUI in a July crash along Interstate 81 that killed 18-year-old Kayla Bahrey, of McAdoo. He is tentatively scheduled to stand trial on Aug. 6. In recent weeks, Gorbea-Lespier’s attorney, Demetrius Fannick, filed court papers seeking to have a second blood-alcohol test that was administered to his client thrown out, as well as a preliminary breath test. Fannick and assistant district attorneys Rebecca Reimiller and Michelle Hardik agreed the preliminary breath test would not be used at Gorbea-Lespier’s trial. Reimiller called a state trooper, James Quiroz, to testify Friday, who responded to the accident and transported Gorbea-Lespier to the Hazleton General Hospital to have his blood drawn for testing. Quiroz said Gorbea-Lespier verbally consented to the first blood draw, and to a second that was requested when they were walking out of the hospital. Fannick argued Quiroz did not have Gorbea-Lespier sign a consent form, nor was Gorbea-Lespier given a reason for the second blood draw. Reimiller argued that GorbeaLespier agreed to have his blood drawn twice. The reason for the second blood draw, Reimiller said, was that an assistant district attorney in the DA’s office requested the second test. “(Gorbea-Lespier) made a knowing and intelligent consent to (both) tests,” Reimiller said. “That’s why (the second) is admissible.” State police allege Gorbea-Lespier had a blood-alcohol level of .084 percent after he struck Bahrey along I-81 on July 3. Bahrey was standing outside a disabled vehicle when she was hit, police said. An adult driver in Pennsylvania is considered legally intoxicated with a blood-alcohol level of .08 percent. According to court papers, Tyler Paisley was driving a Dodge Neon that broke down on the interstate, stopping on the shoulder near Exit 141, Hazleton South Beltway, at about 11:30 p.m. Gorbea-Lespier told police he was returning home after attending a picnic in Albrightsville and admitted to drinking at the picnic.

Estella Naugle of Hunlock Creek looks for a sandhill crane that visits they fields behind her house every morning. Unfortunately the bird failed to appear Friday morning.

CRANE Continued from Page 3A

documented four other sandhill cranesightingsinLuzerneCounty – all within the last three years. The crane in Hunlock Creek has been in the area for the last three months, Naugle said, and that leads Koval to suspect it is part of a nesting pair. “If it appears one day with young, it will be the first confirmation of nesting cranes in Luzerne County,” Koval said. Bill Williams, information and education supervisor for the PGC’s Northeast Region, agreed that the crane could have a mate nearby. “It is most probably a male as the female is more likely to be with the young,” he said. Sandhill cranes seem to be sizing up Pennsylvania as potential nesting territory since the 1990’s, according to Game Commission Wildlife Diversity Division Chief Dan Brauning, and the first nesting pair was documented in Lawrence County in1993. A number of adults with young were observed since that time but the state’s first confirmed sandhill crane nest was

not discovered until 2009. Despite its limited population in Pennsylvania, the sandhill crane is not listed as a state threatened or endangered species because they were not a historical nesting bird here and are expanding their range. The listing process is designed to protect species in decline. Sandhills may not be hunted in Pennsylvania and are protected by state and federal law. Koval said the increase in sightings locally is attributable to range expansion. The migratory sandhill cranes found in Pennsylvania are believed to be an expansion of the Great Lakes population, which traditionally has been found from Minnesota south and east to Ohio and New York. Although it is not known what the initial numbers were, this population went through some very difficult times in the 1930’s, with crane numbers dipping to only around 30 breeding pairs. Today, the Great Lakes populationisover50,000strongandtheir range is expanding. “Any sighting of a sandhill crane locallyisexciting,”Kovalsaid.“It’s a bird that looks like an ostrich and has an eerie, guttural call that, when you hear it, makes you feel like you’re in the Everglades.”

ing that kept the district in the trust while realizing much of the planned savings. It’s that deal that has other trust members raising eyebrows. Wyoming Area Superintendent Ray Bernardi said that, at the last trust meeting, he asked if all districts could get the same savings. Bernardi said Robert Glus, the

sure them separately this coming year at the lower rate. But Glus predicted the lower rate would be short-lived. “We believe the offer to Lake-Lehman was significantly underpriced,” Glus said. And if the rate is artificially low, odds are good it will jump dramatically the next time rates are adjusted. Bernardi said events with LakeLehman prompted his school board and those of Hanover Area, Northwest Area and Greater Nanticoke Area – as well as the Lu-

consultant from the trust’s actuarial firm Conrad Seigel, told the trust members that Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania had agreed to provide insurance to Lake-Lehman at the reduced rate, but when asked to do the same for other districts, declined. Contacted Friday, Glus noted the trust is self-insured, holding money to cover anticipated costs. Blue Cross is used to manage the plans, but does not act as insurer. Glus said in the case of Lake-Lehman, Blue Cross had agreed to in-

If all of them and Wilkes-Barre Area did leave – a similar threatened exodus in 2007 resulted in only two districts actually leaving – the trust would be severely crippled, shrinking to half its current size. “My question at the last trust meeting,” Bernardi said, “was ‘What’s the true cost of health care?’ ”

Merkel defends concessions

B R I E F

German chancellor had opposed some measures euro countries agreed on. By GEIR MOULSON and TOBY STERLING Associated Press

BERLIN — German Chancellor Angela Merkel defended concessions made to struggling Spain and Italy at a European Union summit on Friday as she

prepared to address lawmakers at home, where media headlines loudly proclaimed her political Merkel defeat. Merkel had been opposed to some of the measures that she andtheother16leadersoftheeuro countries agreed on Friday. They include allowing Europe’s

bailout fund to give money directly to a country’s banks, without imposing strict austerity conditions on the government. Sheinsistedhertough-loveapproach was intact, but German papers on Friday were damning, reading “Merkel buckles” and “Merkel’s defeat.” Heading in to the ThursdayFriday summit in Brussels, Merkel had appeared in a thoroughly uncompromising mood —insisting on the importance of get-

ting budgets in order and improving eurozone strugglers’ competitiveness while brushing aside talk of shared debt liability in Europe. But in a victory for Spain and Italy,sheagreedthatfundssetup to bail out indebted governments will be allowed to funnel money directly to stressed banks — once an “effective single supervisory mechanism” for banks is set up. Merkel said that was a “medi-

um-term” prospect, while EU President Herman Van Rompuy stressed that all involved will work speedily to have a draft of the necessary legal and institutional framework for a centralized banking authority by year’s end. Leaders also agreed that countries that pledge to implement reforms and budget policies demanded by the EU’s executive Commission could tap rescue funds.

NEW YORK

Steamy temps for Northeast Northeast braced Friday for a T hesweltering weekend, with many

parts of the region under heat advisories or excessive heat warnings. The temperature headed toward 99 degrees Friday at New York’s LaGuardia Airport. Newark was aiming for the low 100s, while the Boston and Hartford, Conn., areas were looking at highs in the mid-90s. Philadelphia was heading for 97. The National Weather Service on Friday issued a heat advisory for northern New Jersey and New York City, where temperatures are expected remain in the mid- to upper 90s through Sunday. Humidity over the weekend “will be noticeable, but it won’t be oppressive,” said weather service meteorologist Dan Hofmann.

Judy Agnew dies at 91

Judy Agnew, the widow of former Vice President and Maryland Gov. Spiro Agnew, has died. She was 91. Susan Sagle, Agnew’s daughter, said Friday her mother died on June 20 in Rancho Mirage, Calif., with her four children present. Sagle says her mother’s health had been deteriorating since 2005 and she developed pneumonia. Spiro Agnew was elected governor of Maryland in 1966. Richard Nixon chose Agnew to be his running mate in 1968. In October 1973, Agnew pleaded no contest to a single count of income-tax evasion and resigned from the vice presidency. He died in 1996. Judy Agnew, who was born in Baltimore, is survived by her four children, Pamela DeHaven, James Agnew, Sagle and Kimberly Fisher, as well as six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. CAIRO

President-elect vows fight In front of tens of thousands of cheering supporters, Egypt’s first Islamist and civilian president-elect vowed Friday to fight for his authority and symbolically read an oath of office on Cairo’s Tahrir Square on the eve of his official inauguration. Mohammed Morsi’s strongly worded speech was a show of defiance as he gears up to power struggle with the country’s ruling generals who passed a constitutional declaration taking over major presidential powers in the days before election results were announced after a bitter campaign. “Everybody is hearing me now. The government, the military and the police ... No power above this power,” he said as the crowd roared. “I reaffirm to you I will not give up any of the president’s authorities. I can’t afford to do this. I don’t have that right to that.” JOHANNESBURG

Search for bodies

By P. SOLOMON BANDA and THOMAS PEIPERT Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Firefighters went from one smoldering pile to another Friday in search of bodies in the nearly 350 homes burned to the ground by the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history. President Barack Obama says that when disasters such as the wildfires consuming parts of Colorado strike, “America comes together.” Obama on Friday visited subdivisions hit by the worst wildfire in Colorado’s history. He toured neighborhoods of charred homes with plumes of smoke visible in the nearby mountains. Said Obama: “We all recognize that there but for the grace of God go I. We’ve got to make sure that we have each others’ backs.” He praised coordination among federal, state and local authorities. He also saluted firefighters who had saved homes from the flames, calling them “genuine heroes.” As crews on the front lines made slow but steady progress against the flames, Police Chief Pete Carey said fewer than 10 people altogether

were unaccounted for. The remains of one person were found Thursday in what was left standing of one home, and a second person who lived there was missing. The 26-square-mile blaze — one of several wildfires burning out of control across the tinder-dry West — was reported to be 15 percent contained, and authorities began lifting some of the evacuation orders for the more than 30,000 people who fled their homes a few days ago.

After growing explosively earlier in the week, the fire did not gain any ground overnight, authorities reported Friday. And the weather was clear and mostly calm, a welcome break from the lightning and high wind that drove the flames. “The focus for today is to hold what we got,” extend the fire lines to contain more of the blaze, and bring in more heavy equipment, said Rich Harvey, incident commander for the fire.

Congress renews road, flood insurance programs Another bill in package keeps student loan interest rate same. The Associated Press

WASHINGTON— Congress on Friday passed and sent to President Barack Obama a package of bills that renew highway and flood insurance programs and prevent some student loan interest rates from rising. Among the key components: The highway bill: •Reauthorizes transportation programs through September 2014 at a cost of more than $100 billion. About 80 percent of that goes to federal highway programs, 20 percent to mass transit.

•Retains the federal taxes — 18.4 cents a gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents for diesel — that have been unchanged since 1993. Because the gas taxes are inadequate to pay for the bill, it includes other savings such as $9.4 billion from changing the method of calculating pension plan liabilities, $10.8 billion from increasing Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation premiums and $2.7 billion from raising premiums in the flood insurance program. It also saves $100 million by ending a loophole where machines selling roll-your-own cigarettes are not subject to tobacco taxes. Those savings also make up for the costs in the student loan bill. •Gives states more flexibility over

how they spend federal highway aid and consolidates the number of highway programs by two-thirds. • Leaves out several items sought by House Republicans, including government approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline and a stop to the Environmental Protection Agency regulating ash generated by coal-fired plants. The student loan bill keeps interest rates for new subsidized Stafford loans for college students at 3.4 percent for another year. The rates could have doubled to 6.8 percent .The flood insurance bill extends for five years the life of the National Flood Insurance Program, which provides subsidized insurance to about 5.6 million policyholders.

‘TomKat’ ending marriage

By JAKE COYLE AP Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK — Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are divorcing, bringing an end to one of Hollywood’s most unexpected marriages, one that spawned euphoric couchjumping on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and endless speculation in the tabloids. After five years of marriage, Holmes filed for divorced from Cruise on Thursday, said Cruise’s lawyer Bert Fields. “This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family,” Holmes’s attorney Jonathan Wolfe said Friday. “Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children,” Cruise’s representative, Amanda Lundberg, told The Associated Press. “Please allow them their privacy to work this out.” Cruise, 49, wed the 33-year-old Holmes in 2006 in an Italian castle after publicly declaring his love on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” His starry-eyed celebration (in which he famously jumped on the studio couch) was a public display that forever after altered the moviegoing public’s perspective of the action star. The couple has a 6-year-old daughter, Suri, who has herself become a staple of the tabloids and celebrity magazines. Their plan to divorce was first reported by People magazine. Holmes appeared to have filed anonymously, a method of divorce filing legal in New York. Cruise has two children with his previous wife, Nicole Kidman. The actor was also previously married Mimi Rogers. This is Holmes’ first marriage. Cruise and Holmes had a whirlwind romance — the “Dawson’s Creek” actress confessed she had a childhood crush on the “Top Gun” star — and were engaged at the Eiffel Tower. An elaborate wedding followed before a Church of Scientology minister. “I can’t be cool. I can’t be laidback,” Cruise said on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” “Something happened and I want to celebrate it.” But the couple’s romance was instant fodder for the tabloids, who nicknamed them “TomKat” and chattered about everything from the couple’s fights and Suri’s shoes.

Some GOP states may abandon Medicaid expansion States considering refusing to widen eligibility include Florida, Ohio, Pa., Colorado. By DAVID A. LIEB Associated Press

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Republicans in at least three states want to abandon an expansion of Medicaid in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, and more than a dozen other states are considering it in the wake of the Supreme Court decision removing the threat of federal penalties. The high court upheld most of Obama’s law, but the justices said the federal government could not

take away states’ existing federal Medicaid dollars if they refused to widen eligibility to include adults who are only slightly above the poverty line. Some Republican governors and lawmakers quickly declared that they would not carry out the expansion. The states considering whether to withdraw from the expansion include presidential battlegrounds Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Colorado. “One thing is clear, state legislatures will play a big role in the future of Obamacare,” said Republican state Rep. Todd Richardson of Missouri. For elected officials, the high court decision presented a stark choice: agree to accept an ambi-

tious expansion of Medicaid or leave behind a vast pile of federal money that could provide health care to millions of poor constituents. The law signed by Obama in 2010 was projected to provide coverage to more than 30 million Americans, reducing by more than half the number of uninsured people. Of those, about 17 million were supposed to be added to Medicaid, the joint federal and state health care program for the poor. The rest were to be covered by a strengthened and subsidized private insurance market. The federal government agreed to pay the full tab for the Medicaid expansion when it begins in 2014. But after three

Local legislators comment Times Leader staff

HARRISBURG – Local state legislators offered their reactions to the passage of the state budget. State Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township: “Whatever our individual preferences might be, the principle of cost control on which this budget is built is a must in the curBaker rent economic environment. It is what the majority of taxpayers demand, what the ongoing lack of a substantial rebound in state revenues dictates, and what looking down the road to rising obligations in the next budget warrants. “In tough economic times, it is impossible to agree upon a state budget that will be widely popular. But with the changes in funding made in recent weeks, it has become a budget more practical

and less ideological. In the long run, that better serves taxpayers, institutions, and communities.” • State Sen. John Yudichak, DPlymouth Township: Yudichak voted against the $27.65 billion budget, which clearedtheSenatebyalargelyparty-line 32-17 vote. “This budget, despite bipartisan restoration efforts, makes no gains on the billions of dollars in Yudichak cuts made to education last year – meaning the tax bills and tuition bills will be higher for Pennsylvania taxpayers. By failing to adequately fund all levels of education, we are compromising our ability to grow an educated workforce and ultimately falling behind in the jobs race. “For 25 straight months NortheasternPennsylvaniahasendured

the highest unemployment rate in Pennsylvania and this budget falls short in addressing chronic high unemployment in our region. “Like last year, this spending plan fails to invest in the future of Pennsylvania and merely settles for the status quo. This budget neglects to institute a long-term solution for both education and infrastructure investment. Not only will a substantial investment in infrastructure improve the safety and quality of our roads and bridges, but it would put thousands of Pennsylvanians back to work. “Additionally, many families and small businesses throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania are still fighting to recover from the devastating floods of last fall. The GeneralAssemblyhadachanceto include a bipartisan package of legislation in the budget that would have provided significant disaster relief to these families, but this budget will regrettably keep struggling families from getting back on their feet.”

Penn State seeks lowest tutition hike in 35 years The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Penn State University President Rodney Erickson said Friday that the tuition rates he proposes for the coming school year will be the lowest in decades. Erickson said he will ask the Penn State trustees in July to increase tuition for Pennsylvania residents by 2.9 percent at the main campus in State College and 1.9 percent at branch campuses. He said he also would recommend a “very moderate” increase in room

and board charges. The increase would be the lowest since 1967-68, said university spokeswoman Erickson Lisa Powers. He made his comments as he and leaders of the other statesupported and state-owned universities joined Gov. Tom Corbett at the Capitol to thank him and lawmakers for rescinding Corbett’s proposal to reduce their state aid by 20 to

30 percent in the fiscal year that starts Sunday. That would have been on the heels of a nearly 20 percent reduction this year. “This will help to keep the quality as well as the cost of education affordable for so many of our Pennsylvania residents,” Erickson said. Earlier this month, a report by the U.S. Department of Education ranked Penn State as having the highest in-state tuition of any four-year public university during the 2010-11 school year.

Sandusky case costing PSU nearly $12 million By ANNE DANAHY Centre Daily Times

Penn State had spent close to $12 million on costs from the Jerry Sandusky scandal as of the end of April, according to the latest figures from the university. The $11.9 million in expenses

includes $7.6 million in fees for the university’s internal investigation and crisis communication. Another $2.6 million was paid out for legal services, and $870,335 went to pay legal fees for former administrators Tim Curley, Gary Schultz and Gra-

ham Spanier. The university expects to get reimbursements from its insurance policies for some of the expenses. The university posts the latest numbers on its "Progress" website.

years, states must pay a gradually increasing share that tops out at 10 percent of the cost. That may not sound like much, but it translates to a commitment of billions of dollars at a time when many local officials are still anxious about the slow economic recovery.

Pa. budget passes on deadline Senate passes GOP-penned $27.7 billion plan by 32-17 vote, sends it to governor. By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A budget plan savaged by Democrats as taking from the poor to give to the rich but defended by Republicans as appropriate and responsive to taxpayers and businesses won final legislative approval Friday before it went to Gov. Tom Corbett to become law for the next 12 months. The 32-17 vote in the state Senate on the Republican-penned $27.7 billion plan will likely help Corbett keep his pledge for the second year in a row to sign an on-time budget, although it went to his desk with barely 30 hours to spare. Three Democrats voted with majority Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa, who nonetheless called the elimination of a Depression-era cash assistance benefit for poor adults who can’t work “mean-

spirited.” The plan for the 2012-13 fiscal year that begins Sunday would increase spending by about 1.5 percent, largely for debt, pensions and health care for the poor, as well as to help fill a shortfall in the almost-finished fiscal year. Meanwhile, it would cut businesses taxes by hundreds of millions of dollars, deposit around $350 million to $400 million into reserves and slash hundreds of millions of dollars from services for the poor, homeless, troubled and disabled. Aid for public schools and universities would remain flat — a handful of public schools nearing financial collapse would see a little extra money — after absorbing more than $1 billion in cuts in the current fiscal year. “This is the right budget for our residents and our job creators at this time,” said Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, RDelaware, during floor comments. “It moves Pennsylvania in the right direction.” Democrats criticized what they view as tax giveaways to businesses at a time when the

state is being stingy with the poor, schools and its transportation network. “It caters to business, not small business, but super-rich, foreignowned companies to the detriment of our people,” said Sen. Michael Stack, D-Philadelphia. “It has cuts that will force local property taxes increases and detrimentally affect programs and services for years.” Democrats won a month delay in the elimination of the General Assistance cash benefit until Aug. 1 so that the Department of Public Welfare can notify tens of thousands of recipients that they’ll lose it. During debate on a budget-related bill, Republicans characterized the elimination of the cash benefit as unavoidable in tough times, and Sen. Pat Vance, RCumberland, said they did not do so with a “joyful heart.” But Democrats tore into their counterparts, saying the $200-amonth benefit is all that stands between homelessness, prison or emergency rooms and people who are seeking addiction treatment or are sick or disabled.

Man gets 4 to 18 months for abuse

Leonard Stempowski also gets six months probation. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A former Mountain Top man charged with threatening his girlfriend with knives and a golf club and head-butting her in another incident, was sentenced Friday to four to 18 months in county prison. Leonard Stempowski, 41, who listed an address of Fourth Street, Scranton, was sentenced by Luzerne County Judge Fred Pierantoni on charges of terroristic threats and simple assault. He previously pleaded guilty to the charges. Stempowski also received six months probation and was ordered to complete a batterer’s intervention program and 15 hours of community service. Stempowski was given 67 days credit for time already served and was ordered to report to the county prison on July 16 to begin serving his sentence. According to court papers, Rice Township police said they received a call to meet with Renee Ross on March 10. Ross told police her boyfriend, Stempowski, was

physically abusive to her, and that one week prior to her meeting with police, Stempowski threatened her and attempted to hit her with a golf club. Ross said Stempowski choked her with the golf club, and a few days later head-butted her in the face, causing injuries. One day later, Ross said, Stempowski threatened her with two butcher knives and told her she was “going to die,” according to court papers. Ross said she didn’t report the initial assault because she feared retribution from Stempowski, and that she suspected he was drinking a lot and acting “psychotic.” Ross said Stempowski would not let her leave the house, and was only able to after Stempowski instructed her to give him sleeping pills. Pierantoni said Stempowski is to have no contact with Ross or her family, and must surrender all weapons.

COURT BRIEFS TUSCON, ARIZ. – A U.S. District Court judge in Arizona on Thursday dismissed a civil lawsuit filed by Paul Weakley, a witness in the often delayed Hugo Selenski trial in Luzerne County, against the federal Bureau of Prisons. Weakley, 43, filed the lawsuit in March claiming federal prison officials ignored his concerns about being an informant against Selenski. He claimed in the lawsuit that he was attacked and stabbed by other inmates in three federal prisons since he testified against Selenski during a trial in Luzerne County Court in March 2006. Weakley allegedly led investigators to the bodies of Michael Jason Kerkowski and Tammy Lynn Fassett at the residence of Selenski’s then girlfriend on Mount Olivet Road, Kingston Township, on June 5, 2003. Selenski’s trial is scheduled in Luzerne County Court in September. Weakley was seeking $2 million in his lawsuit. WILKES-BARRE – A Wyomissing man charged with assaulting his wife just one day after their wedding was sentenced Friday to 140 days to 23 months in county prison. Joseph Gerald Forgach, 42, of North Park Road, was sentenced by Luzerne County Judge Fred Pierantoni on a charge of simple assault stemming from the Feb. 15 incident in Plains Township. He pleaded guilty to the charge in May. Pierantoni ordered Forgach to have no contact with his wife as per a protection-from-abuse order, and to undergo drug and alcohol and mental health evaluations, and to follow all recommendations made by the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Forgach is to be paroled to the VA Medical Center on July 3, Pierantoni said. According to court papers, on Feb. 15, Susan Wright-Forgach reported to police that she had been married to her husband the day before and that he assaulted her while they were staying at the Woodlands Inn and Resort in Plains Township. A witness told police he could hear a woman yelling for help, and that he called the front desk to report what he had heard.

STATE OPINION: BLIGHT FIGHT

Raze ugly homes for neighbors’ sake

HE Northumberland County Housing Authority plans to spend $35,000 to come up with a plan to eliminate the number of blighted and abandoned properties in the county by 50 percent over the next five years. County officials say the first job is to map the blighted areas. With that information, county officials hope to approach municipal leaders with recommendations about ordinances and other strategies to prevent blight and to intervene to eliminate blighted properties. There are clear signals that anti-blight efforts can improve the community. In Sunbury, a group of Bucknell University students identified a vacant lot created when the city tore down a blighted building as the perfect site for a community garden. Elsewhere in Sunbury, a new home is expected to be built on another property made vacant after a dilapidated building was razed. Sunbury officials say it will be EDITORIAL BOARD

the first home built in the city in more than a decade. As the effort goes from municipally driven projects to a more ambitious countywide push, it will be important that decisions about where to place priorities involve the input of a broad range of stakeholders and experts. Teetering neighborhoods ought to be tackled first to help areas where property owners are in danger of suffering due to a decrease in property value. Areas where blight is more rampant can be targeted once the effort is under way and the public has seen a demonstration that the effort is worth the investment. The anti-blight mission could transform communities if it is done openly and transparently and with the focus on helping improve the quality of life for the property owners who are cursed with blighted homes in their neighborhoods.

Court’s mandate just first step toward healthier America IN A landmark and heavily anticipated decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that the individual mandate provision within the Affordable Care Act, the federal health care reform law, is constitutional. This also means that the insurance market reforms included in the federal health care reform law, including a mandate that insurers provide coverage to anyone who seeks it, even those with pre-existing conditions, remain as part of the law. So why is this decision important to residents of Northeastern Pennsylvania? The individual mandate was added to the federal law as a way to compel most consumers to purchase health insurance. This was the most discussed and most controversial measure of the health care reform law, raising the issue of whether the federal government has the power to compel consumers to purchase something. The Supreme Court ruled, in this case, that it does. 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 health care reform package to work as intended. The court’s ruling that the individual mandate is constitutional also maintains the incentive for healthy individuals to buy health insurance before they get sick. In fact, recent studies from several independent experts, including the Congressional Budget Office, show that severing the individual mandate from the other market re-

ou cannot discuss marriage without mentioning one of its major components: sexual coupling. This aspect is conveniently ignored by those people who are in favor of “gay marriage” because, let’s face it, sex between men is revolting. The sexual union of two men produces, at best, internal disfigurement and, at worst, disease and even death. The sexual union of two women isn’t possible; therefore, the “marriage” of two women is a sterile joke. On the other hand, sex between a man and a woman often produces the miracle of life. So there you have it. One marriage produces nothing or causes bodily harm; the other, life. No starker contrast could be made, and yet we’re told that gay marriage should be on equal footing with traditional marriage. This is insanity and quite dangerous.

Some people, however, might be unknowingly poisoning themselves with mercury by taking their catch home to their families. Pennsylvania, which ranks fourth in energy production from coal, is especially susceptible to the mercury contamination in its waterways, which can make its way into our bodies. U.S. Sen. Bob Casey of Scranton deserves a pat on the back for helping to stop a rollback of the Clean Air Act that would have continued to allow mercury pollution to poison our rivers. Mercury potentially affects development of the brain, kidneys and lungs, and it can be damaging to young and unborn children. This new protection, which Senator Casey defended, significantly reduces mercury in our streams, the fish that swim in them and the people who catch and eat those fish.

HARRISBURG – Legislation that would remove a legal incentive for drunk drivers to flee the scene of an accident is on its way to the governor. Various bills have been introduced over the years to eliminate the incentive to leave the scene of an accident, but the Senate incorporated state Rep. Phyllis Mundy’s approach into the legislation by reclassifying a hit-and-run accident where death occurs as a second-degree felony. The legislation allows the judge in the case discretion to issue a more severe sentence in circumstances where he or she feels

police she thought she struck a shopping cart, according to the criminal complaint. Police said Castrignano drove away after striking Ryan and turned onto the Market Street Bridge into Kingston. A surveillance camera allegedly recorded the vehicle on the bridge. Castrignano, accompanied by attorney Leonard Junker, surrendered on June 16. She was charged with a third-degree felony count of accidents involving death or personal injury and four traffic summaries. Salavantis said Friday it was too early to say if additional charges will be filed against Castrignano. “We’re still investigating and have to wait until the autopsy and more evidence is collected,” Sala-

one to be warranted. House Bill 208 is legislation that Mundy has long championed. “I have introduced and reintroduced legislation to close this loophole since a fatal hit-and-run accident in my legislative district in 2007,” said Mundy, D-Kingston. In that accident, Sarah Marquis, of Larksville, was driving a speeding Jeep when it struck Erik Vannucchi, Plains Township, and tow-truck operator John Kovatch on East Main Street after 1 a.m. May 29, 2007. Vannucchi, 19, later died. Kovatch suffered minor injuries. Marquis kept driving but was captured 10 hours later at an Ashvantis said. Junker did not return a message for comment on Friday. Castrignano was represented by the Luzerne County Public Defender’s Office in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on Wednesday when her preliminary hearing was continued to July 25. Castrignano appeared at the hearing via video from the county correctional facility. A district judge modified her bail from $10,000 straight to unsecured, meaning she can be released without posting money. However, she remains jailed on a detainer filed by the county probation officer after she was charged by city police. Castrignano was sentenced in February to 18 months probation on unrelated charges of resisting arrest, carrying a false identification card and disorderly conduct, according to court records. Castrignano was not charged

ley home. Marquis, 26 at the time, admitted drinking alcohol before the collision, but the delay prevented police from obtaining her blood-alcohol level at the time of the wreck. That prevented prosecutors from pursuing a more severe charge of homicide by motor vehicle while driving under the influence, which carries a mandatory sentence of three to six years in prison. Marquis pleaded guilty to homicide by motor vehicle and counts related to leaving the scene and received two to eight years in state prison plus six years of probation, but she could have faced more prison time if convicted of homicide by motor vehicle while driving drunk. with any alcohol-related offenses after the June 15 incident despite an anonymous call to police claiming she was drunk and had been drinking at the Hardware Bar on South Main Street prior to the crash. It was not immediately known on Friday if police obtained surveillance video to corroborate the caller’s claim. State law mandates suspected drunken drivers need to be tested for the presence of alcohol within two hours of being stopped by police. A conviction of accidents involving death or personal injury carries different penalties depending on the victim’s recovery. If the victim survives a hit-andrun crash, state law says the driver shall be sentenced to 90 days in jail. If the victim dies, the sentencing judge is mandated to impose a sentence of not less than one year in jail, according to the law.

the compromise. “There are many businesses that have their equipment outside and have no screening fences,” Weaver said, adding that the committee also said the business was unsuitable because it was a “high intensity retail outlet,” and that other businesses in the park have retail operations. Frank Currens, vice president of the Maryland-based company that currently owns the Bertels property, said the decision to block the purchase of it makes no sense. “It would have been a company creating some 40 jobs,” Cur-

Newman said the chamber quickly pointed out several more suitable sites in the region. “We are very interested in seeing this company – as we are in seeing any type of investor – locate in the area and create jobs,” Newman said. “Unfortunately, not all sites work for all types of businesses.”

Windows of faith dedicated

A Plymouth church welcomes its new art works depicting its patron saints. By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

PLYMOUTH – A service of Divine Liturgy was conducted at Ss. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church on Friday by Metropolitan Archbishop Stefan Soroka of the Byzantine Rite church, to celebrate the installation of two commissioned stained glass "icon" windows depicting the parish’s patron saints on the front edifice of the handsome structure. A host of visiting clergy and invited guests participated in the celebratory event along with parish pastor, the Rev. Roman Petryshak. The beautiful, multi-colored panes were commissioned to 85year-old Baut Studios in Swoyersville in January when the studio immediately began conceptualizing the design for the extensive display. According to proprietor and designer Gerhard Baut, actual production began on the commissioned windows in late April. Stained glass art work and windows designed and produced by Baut Studios can be

POLICE BLOTTER HAZLETON – Police said Anthony Keith Lobello of Hazle Township put a handgun to another man’s head and pointed it at two of his friends outside Home Court Sports Bar early Friday. Lobello, 26, of South Butler Terrace Drive, faces assault and other charges after threatening the men around 1 a.m. He was committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility, arraigned and later released after posting $15,000 bail. According to police: An officer was dispatched to the bar on Alter Street for a report of a man with a gun. Outside the bar John Troell told an officer a man, later identified as Lobello, put a gun to his head and punched him in the mouth, cutting his lip and causing it to bleed. Troell said the man asked him about a fight at a bar on Thursday. When Troell said he was not involved the man with a gun threatened him saying, “If you’re lying I’ll take out you and your brother.” Kevin Kuklinski Jr. and Kelly Salvaterra, friends of Troell, said they tried to help but the man pointed the gun at them. Police obtained a description of the gunman and located him on 14th Street. Troell and Kuklinski identified the man as the person who pointed a gun at them. While searching the area of the reported assault, police found a loaded Taurus .45caliber handgun underneath a car parked on the corner of Alter and 14 streets. One round was in the chamber and six rounds were in the gun’s magazine. Police were unable to prove ownership of the gun.

"I’m still as passionate about this art form as I was when I first started designing." "This is a very exciting day for us at Ss. Peter and Paul," said Ron Kachinko of Larksville, chairman of the parish’s icon

Following the liturgical service, a dinner was held to celebrate the Feast of Ss. Peter and Paul.

NANTICOKE – State police Friday filed driving under the influence and other charges against Nicholas Young, 48, of Hunlock Township in connection with a traffic stop in Plymouth Township earlier this month. State police said: Young was driving a 2000 Dodge Dakota that was swerving on the roadway the night of June 10. Officers in a marked police cruiser followed him and he eventually pulled into the lot of the Coco Hut Mini Mart on Broadway Street. Young’s wife Michelle was a passenger. He admitted drinking, not having either a license or insurance, and the pickup truck was his but registered in his son’s name. Young failed field sobriety tests and was placed under arrest for transport to WilkesBarre General Hospital for a blood alcohol test. He said his attorney advised him to cooperate but not to submit to a blood test. He was then taken to the state police barracks in Wyoming and again refused to submit to a blood test. A records check showed his license was suspended for a prior driving under the influence charge. He also was listed as a habitual offender. Young’s son Jarod contacted state police and said his father took the truck without permission. The son said before he went away for National Guard training he told his father not to use the truck because there is no insurance and the tag is suspended. But the son said his father has a spare key and took the truck despite being told not to do so. Young was charged with

WEST PITTSTON – Police charged a Scranton man with failing to perform repairs around an elderly woman’s house after accepting payment. Glenn Lee Greenfield, 30, of Prospect Avenue, was charged with a single count of home improvement fraud. He was arraigned Thursday by District Judge Joseph Carmody in West Pittston and released on $5,000 unsecured bail. Police allege Greenfield worked for a contractor that finished work at a home owned by an 85-year-old woman. After the job was finished, Greenfield asked the woman if she wanted her windows scrapped and painted. The woman paid Greenfield $500 to paint 19 windows and $300 for paint. Greenfield allegedly painted five windows and a pole, according to the criminal complaint. Police said in the complaint the woman gave Greenfield an additional $160 he used to purchase a pressure washer. Greenfield told the woman he would complete the painting and pressure washing her house but failed to finish the work, the complaint says. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on July 11 before Carmody. PITTSTON – Police Friday said a 17-year-old boy faces charges after he returned to the area of the Pittston Little League and masturbated in public for the second time in two days.

The victory put Horlacher in the Section 5 tournament next week at D17 champion

North Pocono. Horlacher will play North Pocono at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. The same bunch made the 9-10 sectionals in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was easier when they were younger,â&#x20AC;? Horlacher manager Len Kelley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now they get nervous and we have to calm them down.â&#x20AC;? Stomachs were really churning in the bottom of the fifth inning as KFF loaded the bases with one out. Horlacher pitcher Sydney Faux, though, worked through the jam and finished off KFF with her 10th strikeSee SOFTBALL, Page 3B

ROCHESTER, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A discouraging week is well in the rearview mirror for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. After dropping seven out of eight games to IL West opponents on a recent trip, the Yankees are back on track now, polishing off a sweep of Gwinnett with YANKEES an 11-4 win on Friday night in Rochester. Nine of the 10 BRAVES Yankees with a plate appearance recorded a hit on the night. Russell Branyan and Jack Cust each finished with three RBI. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (4537) jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning and led 10-2 by the end of the fourth, cruising to a third straight win over the Braves (37-46).

LOCAL COLLEGE FOOTBALL Ottis Anderson, who was a Super Bowl MVP with the New York Giants, lent some star power to Misericordia footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural season kickoff party on Friday.

out. Faux allowed just four hits. “Sydney, what can you say?” Kelley said. “Hats off to her.” KFF starter Mel Raskiewicz was also dominant. She struck out nine and surrendered four hits as well. Two of those hits came when she had to reach across her body quickly to field hard grounders and had the ball ricochet to shortstop. KFF catcher Morgan Klosko stood out defensively as she picked off two Horlacher runners on first base. She also had a double in the fourth, the only extrabase hit of the game. But she ended up as one of three KFF baserunners stranded at third.

Even the final out of the game came with some trepidation. Horlacher first baseman Breanna Wydner looked like she had a routine grounder to field. The ball, though, took a strange hop as it exited the infield grass, banged off Wydner’s glove and then her left shoulder. She was able to pluck it out of the air and step on first to end the game. Horlacher’s Talia Koseroski was the game’s only multiple hitter, going 2-for-3.

ty, according to MacDowell, was to celebrate Misericordia’s inaugural football team and raise it’s visibility. MacDowell, who will retire at the end of the 2013 spring semester, said he is excited for this coming season and that he will still be on hand for its first season. “We have all our Saturdays planned for September, October and most of November,” MacDowell said. “It’s interesting to see a wonderful university like Misericordia, you look at the setting and you say, ‘This is a place that should have football,’ and I think it’s going to be grand, not only for us and our students, and parents and alumni, but also our community.” Football will be the 14th sport added since Misericordia joined the NCAA at the Division III level in 1992, bringing the total number of varsity offerings to 23. The process for bringing a football program to Misericordia came back in October of 2010, when athletic director Dave Martin helped present the idea. Martin said he worked very closely with MacDowell, among others, and while he said it was not an easy process, he feels the right decision was made. Martin said that he felt very good about it after all of the hard work. “My reaction when the board had voted yes, that we would add football, was certainly a positive one,” Martin said. “We had worked a long time in putting everything together and I thought that it was the right thing to do, and we’re thrilled that it’s coming to fruition.” With the business side of the football program taken care of, the rest falls on the shoulders of head coach Mark Ross, the man Martin said he felt was the best one for the job from the very beginning. “We felt that the key to getting this program off the ground was finding the guy that’s the right fit,” Martin said. “A guy that can come in, and because football was new to our campus, there were a lot of big constituencies that he was going to have to deal with. “So we felt that the key was to find a guy that would be the right fit for us, and two years later it was no question, Mark Ross was the right fit for us.” Ross, a graduate of Penn State and a native of Athens, Pa., spent the last 10 seasons as an assistant coach at Ithaca, and was also an assistant coach at East Stroudsburg while earning his master’s degree in sports management A defensive-minded coach, Ross served as the defensive coordinator/linebackers coach at Ithaca from 2007 until his hiring at Misericordia, after previously coaching linebackers, the defensive line and kickers. Now in his first head coaching job with a new football program, Ross said he’s very anxious and excited to get things started. “Right now I’m feeling anxiety,” Ross joked. “I’m really honored, thrilled and very excited and I can’t wait to get started.” Ross has kept in communica-

select group. “Originally, Yannick Gingras had two horses in the field,” Kakaley said of picking up Destiny’s Chance in the Lynch. “I’ve done a lot of driving for (trainer) Ron Burke and he told me he’d have an entry for me.” While the entry isn’t one of Kakaley’s regular horses, Pocono Downs’ top driver a year ago still expects to put on a strong showing. “I’m pretty used to it,” Kakaley said. "We do it pretty much every day. You go and talk to the trainer to find out what the horse does and how the horse responds.” In the Ben Franklin, Kakaley will drive Clear Vision, another Burke horse which has won two of its last four starts. “We’ve been racing well,” Kakaley said. “We were fourth last week but we were in a spot where

tion with his players, making sure they keep up to date on things and keeping themselves in shape and healthy through mailing, calls and texts. Ross said the team’s fitness regimen came together quickly after he arrived on campus last February. “We held a meeting to find out what the interest was,” Ross said. “Shortly after that I issued a workout plan for the rest of that semester and put together a summer plan. “When we came back in the fall (of 2011) we treated it just like we would any other year.” Ross said players will arrive on campus on Aug.11, with training camp beginning Aug. 12. As far as who could be starting in the first game, Ross said he is not sure as yet, and that the staff will need to see how progress. Ross has had a big say in who his coaching staff will be, including offensive line coach and former Ithaca player Chris Gray, who knows Ross from his assistant coaching days at Ithaca. Another familiar face to Ross will be offensive coordinator Mike Hatcher who was announced to staff earlier this year in February. Hatcher was an assistant coach with Ross at Ithaca after joining it’s staff in 2007. He coached the wide receivers and quarterbacks for three seasons before switching to offensive line, while serving as the primary offensive play caller for three seasons leading up to his hiring at Misericordia. Many might be wondering what kind of offense Hatcher will run whether it will be a lot of running or passing. Hatcher said that it will be a balance of both. “It’s a multiple scheme,” Hatcher said. “Obviously we’re looking for balance between the run and the pass. “We’re very personnel-driven, so we’ll be trying to get our best kids on the field and teach them general concepts so we can match the personnel and different formations. “Try to keep it simple for them from a teaching stand point.” According to Hatcher, there will be a little over 90 guys heading into camp this August. As for how many will be kept and who Hatcher will have in his starting unit, he says it is too early to tell. There were many speakers on hand at the event, including Anderson, the former NFL star. Anderson, a two-time Super Bowl Champion with the New York Giants as well as the 1979 Rookie of the Year with the St. Louis Cardinals, knows a lot of about the transitions of football. From new places to new learning schemes, Anderson offered advice to the new football program, as well as the students. “Don’t expect a whole lot,” Anderson said. “You wanna win, but with new programs comes a lot of wrinkles and you have to smooth out those wrinkles, but that won’t come in one season. You can have high aspirations and high goals, but keep those, because they are going to come true eventually. “The main thing is to have fun, and don’t worry about wins and loses right now.” Misericordia first season begins Sept. 1 at Gettysburg. As Martin put it, the Cougars are 62 days away from “kickoff to history.” we really couldn’t get to the front. It was really more on me. “We won at Tioga Downs before that, so I’m looking forward to the race. As long as I can put him in a good spot, I think we have a chance.” While the purses are big, the drivers are hopeful the crowd will also be big tonight. “That’s the thing about the business now,” Kakaley said. “You have so many people watching on simulcasts and watching online. It’s definitely more exciting to be there and see it live. It’s all right in front of you. I wish more people would come out and see what they’re missing.” The race card opens at 6:30 p.m., with the Lynch to go to post at approximately 8:36 p.m. he Lynch is the night’s eighth race, with the Hempt 10th and the Ben Franklin as the 12th race of the night.

Odom, Mo Williams could be on the move

SALT LAKE CITY — The agent for Mo Williams confirmed Friday that his client will be reunited with the Utah Jazz as part of a three-team deal that will send Lamar Odom back to Los Angeles for a second chance with the Clippers. Mark Bartelstein said the deal was finalized about 3:45 p.m. MDT and Williams is expected to hold a news conference in Salt Lake City next week.

MIAMI — Chris Bosh has taken his name out of consideration for the London Olympics, becoming the second Miami Heat player in as many days to make the move over injury concerns. Bosh announced the decision Friday through agent Henry Thomas. Bosh is still recovering after straining an abdominal muscle during the second round of the playoffs. He missed nine games but played in all five games of the NBA Finals against Oklahoma City. NHL

Owners, players open labor negotiations

NEW YORK — The NHL and the players’ union opened negotiations on a new labor deal Friday by meeting for about 21⁄2 hours. Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly met with NHLPA Executive Director Donald Fehr, union special counsel Steve Fehr and several player reps at the league’s Manhattan offices. “Members of our League Office staff and several of our owners met today with the NHLPA and various members of the players’ negotiating committee at the League Office in New York,” Daly said in a statement released after the meetings. “The meeting was very cordial and we hope it was constructive. “Before breaking, the parties discussed follow-up steps and confirmed plans for future meetings. We have nothing further to report at this time.” NFL

Grandfathers of summer Felix, Tarmoh move into tight 200 final

Never too old to play ball, over-60 and over-65 tournaments are in the area.

Friday’s races held under cloud of controversy from third-place tie in the 100.

By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

KINGSTON — Before they get out of their cars, they look like they were the boys of summer – players from a bygone era. Then they take the field, as they did Thursday and Friday, and you know they are still the boys of summer. OK, the grandfathers of summer. A weekend of tournament senior softball is in the area, with games today at Kirby Park and Sunday at Coal Street Park. It will be the youngsters through the weekend, as the over 60s and over 65s will play in a tournament sanctioned by Senior Softball USA. Friday, Monkey Joe’s Big Nut Co., of Laurel Springs, N.J., claimed the over-70 title, beating the heat and the field of teams from up and down the East Coast. “We had a terrible day (Thursday),” said Joe Bush, the “Joe” in Monkey Joe’s, and the person in charge of the team. “We came back today and we were the best of the round-robin. “It’s a wonderful thing to see these guys play. It’s hard to believe that they’re 70 or more. We all love to play. That’s why some of us will play till we croak.” Players are often former high school or college heroes in one sport or another. Of course, that was decades back. “I pitched in college (at St. Lawrence),” said Richard Glazer, a custom golf club and vintage sports photo dealer from Cherry Hill, N.J. “I’ve been playing sports all my life. I played baseball, football and basketball in high school. I played ball since I was a kid, but I didn’t pick up softball like this until I was 50.” Unlike the standard Tuesday Night League teams that every town has, teams at tournaments like the City of Wilkes-Barre Summer Classic aren’t limited to local players. “We draw from the state our team is based in and its bordering states,” explained Glazer, the former agent for Ron Jaworski and Beasley Reece during their football days. “We’re based in New Jersey, so we can draw from Pennsylvania, Delaware and New York, and we have players from all over. “This isn’t like what you see during the week. There’s a tremendous difference between

thing to do out there.” He should know. This was the eighth time in Federer’s illustrious career that he overcame a two-set hole, including against 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro in the French Open quarterfinals 31⁄2 weeks ago. “Mentally, he’s a rock. He’s two sets down and he doesn’t show anything. And after that, if your level is a little bit lower — right here, right now, he takes the opportunity,” said Benneteau, whose cramping thighs were massaged by a trainer during two final-set changeovers. “At the beginning of the third set, I was not as good as I was in the first two sets, and in 5 minutes, it’s 4-0.” Actually, that took about 10 minutes. Still, it hardly was the last key moment. With Federer

church or synagogue teams and this kind of tournament ball.” Like many other activities and sporting endeavors, participation numbers are always a concern. But the concerns aren’t born from the advent of video games and 200 channels of television. Money is one of the biggest issues teams face -- tournament play requires travel, lodging and meals for several days at a time. But the people bring the teams together. “There’s just wonderful camaraderie before and after games,” said Bush, whose team was the 2006 national champs and 2007 national runners-up. “We don’t necessarily practice together as a tournament team because of the distance between us as players,” added Glazer, who turns 70 in August. “We all get together by area or work out with our so-called local Sunday or weeknight teams. There’s a lot of guys who only see each other at tournaments, but we’re all friends and catch up.” Even an individual tournament can be a war of attrition, such as the games at Kirby Park on Thursday and Friday. “We have about 20 guys on the roster, but they can’t all make it every time,” Bush said. “Fifteen is ideal so you can spread time around. Fourteen is about as low as you like to be. Thirteen is where we were (Friday). That makes it tough. That’s where you start to see fatigue become a factor. “I had a guy go home yesterday before we even played because of heart palpitations.” The passion for the game that flows from the athletes -- yes, they are athletes – is the passion you might normally associate with Little League. There is a

love of the game, love of being part of the team, that is always evident. “I’m playing with this brace because of osteoarthritis,” said Glazer, an outfielder with Monkey Joe’s. “A year or so ago, I was one of the fastest runners on the team. There are some guys who don’t know I have the brace and think I dogging it out there. “But how much longer will I play? I don’t know. We have lost guys who died, and there’s a guy who has liver cancer and probably won’t be here much longer. We’ve had guys with prostate cancer and it weakened them. Even though they beat it, they can’t play.” “Some of my guys would rather die running to second base than not be out here,” added Bush. Monkey Joe’s is one of the first modern senior teams and among the best in the country. It’s players have diverse backgrounds – some are executives, some, like 76-year-old leadoff batter John Pfander, are former pro baseball players. As Bush explained, Pfander still has “it.” He regularly bats somewhere between .850 and 1.000 most tournaments. “We were pioneers in the game 20 years ago,” Bush said. “These tournaments are like mini vacations for us. We go to Florida, Seattle, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Chicago. These are our trips.” For this “vacation,” WilkesBarre was the city of choice. And they loved every minute. “When I was 50 and started playing, my father said, ‘Richard, stop playing ball. You’re going to get hurt and you’re going to get dirty,’ ” Glazer recalled. “My father has since passed, but I’m still out here playing, brace and all.”

EUGENE, Ore. — Maybe the response just slipped. Or maybe the question completely caught her off guard. As Allyson Felix sauntered away from the crowd and toward the safety of a restricted area, she actually broke her vow of silence. “Feeling good,” she said in almost a hushed voice. And then she was off again, escorted by coach Bobby Kersee. Felix is looking solid on the track even in the midst of controversy, winning her semifinal heat at Olympic trials on Friday. Same with training partner Jeneba Tarmoh, who moments earlier captured her race convincingly, too. After the 200 final Saturday, these two sprinters will finally address what everyone is anxious to know: Just how they will break their third-place tie in the 100 and decide who earns the final spot to the London Games in the event. A runoff? A flip of the coin? Soon, there will be a choice. Maybe even something as simple as one of them surrendering the spot to the other.

YANKEES Continued from Page 1B

Branyan hit a two-run homer in the first – his ninth in 27 games with the club – and the Yankees never trailed. Resiliency at the plate paid off in the third, as the Yankees manufactured three runs with two outs. Branyan, Brandon Laird and Gustavo Molina each drove one in with a hit in the frame. Cust hit his team-leading 18th home run in the fourth, a threerun shot to right off of Braves reliever Billy Bullock. Chris Dickerson and Ronnier Mustelier had drawn walks earlier in the inning to chase starter Jose Lugo. Nelson Figueroa started and got the win for the Yankees, going five innings while allowing three hits and two runs, striking out four and walking three. Figueroa’s struggles came in the second inning, as the first four runners he faced in the frame reached base while allowing a run. But the right-hander traded a second run for two outs on a dou-

The controversy has overshadowed everything at the trials. Including this: Some of the biggest names in U.S. sprinting were missing from the starting blocks in the opening round of the men’s 200 meters. Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay were expected to sit out this race after securing spots to London in the 100. But the absence of Olympic bronze medalist Walter Dix was a bit of a surprise. Dix was hampered by a lingering left hamstring injury that slowed him in the 100, but he thought he might be ready for the 200. Now, Dix’s only option for making it to London will be as a member of the 400 relay team. Dix tweeted his disappointment Friday at not being able to run and later that he heard he had been nominated for an ESPY Award in the category of best track and field athlete: “It’s an honor!!! Thanx for the love and support...very much appreciated.” This was one of the sprinters the Americans were counting on, too, especially after Dix captured bronze in both the 100 and 200 in Beijing. “We’re missing Tyson, Walter and Justin — that’s U.S. best right there,” said 34-year-old Doc Patton, who advanced in his heat. “The door is open for anyone in the field right now.” ble-play ball and the Yankees eventually escaped the inning with a 3-2 lead. Reliever Juan Cedeno hit a rough patch late in the game, giving up a run in the seventh and the eighth. Doug Bernier got one back with an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre will remain in Rochester as the road team against the Red Wings in a series that opens at 7:05 tonight. Gwinnett

ily: The Serb ceded the first set, getting broken at love by No. 28 Radek Stepanek, Rosol’s Davis Cup teammate for the Czech Republic. But quick as can be, Djokovic turned things around, breaking Stepanek to begin each of the next three sets for a 4-6, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 victory that moved him closer to a semifinal showdown against Federer. Once Djokovic had Stepanek’s serve-and-volley style measured, the passing winners and shoetop-high returns started flowing. Talking about falling behind in the second set, Stepanek said: “Not a good move from my side, because once you get these top guys going, then it’s tough to stop them.” Benneteau might have sounded the same lament. For quite a lengthy stretch, he played positively Rosol-esque tennis: hard serves and stinging groundstrokes directed at lines. No fear. But Federer found an opening and barged through, saved in

particular by this: He won 63 of the 80 points he served over the last three sets. Both Djokovic — who takes on unseeded Viktor Troicki in an all-Serbian matchup Monday — and Federer — who begins Week 2 by meeting 2002 Wimbledon semifinalist Xavier Malisse — found it odd to be playing with Centre Court’s retractable roof closed as a precaution, despite a blue sky overhead. “That’s a bit of getting used to. Indoor grass is not something we’re quite familiar with,” Federer said. Here’s what happened: A drizzle delayed the start of play Monday, so tournament officials decided to shut the roof. By the time it was closed, and Djokovic headed out to play, the sun was out. “I was a little bit surprised, when I saw sunshine, that the roof is closed,” Djokovic said. “Obviously, they’re relying on a forecast that I don’t think is very reliable here.”

Harrisburg-area linebacker Zayd Issah verbally committed to the Lions, according to multiple recruiting services. Issah was the Class 4A co-player of the year last fall as a junior, helping lead Central Dauphin to a state championship. He joins Maryland linebacker Zach Bradshaw as the team’s newest pledgLions add another linebacker es. Those two upped Penn State’s Penn State’s June recruiting surge continued on Friday as 2013 signing class to 14 commit-

ments, six of which have come this month, including blue chip offensive lineman Dorian Johnson. The wave of additions has pushed the Lions up the national recruiting rankings. Penn State is now ranked 10th (Scout), 11th (247sports) and 13th (Rivals) by three major networks. Signing classes are not finalized until national signing day in February.

serving while down 6-5 in the fourth set, Benneteau hit a forehand winner to get to 15-30, putting him two points from the upset. Federer hit a forehand winner that made it 30-all, still two points away for Benneteau. The game had two deuces, too — each one placing Benneteau that close again. But Federer held there, the crowd roaring with each point he won. “I appreciate their support for so many years out here,” Federer said. “Tonight was special.” In the tiebreaker, Federer was two points from being gone at 5all, then 6-all. But on the latter, a nine-stroke exchange ended with Benneteau netting a backhand. That gave Federer his second set point — he already had wasted three others in the second set — and a powerful forehand forced a Benneteau forehand error. Federer jogged to his chair, showered with a standing ovation.

That was the beginning of the end for Benneteau, and it allowed Federer to avoid the sort of surprise that befell the second-seeded Nadal, whose fiveset loss Thursday night to the 100th-ranked and previously unknown Lukas Rosol was still reverberating around the All England Club. “You cannot take for granted anybody. You can’t underestimate any opponent. I don’t think Rafa did,” said the top-seeded Djokovic, who faced Nadal in each of the previous four Grand Slam finals, winning at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open and the Australian Open, before losing at the French Open. “It’s Wimbledon. Everybody wants to come up with their best game, especially when you’re playing one of the top players, one of the favorites,” Djokovic added. “You have nothing to lose.” Like Federer and Nadal, Djokovic fell behind against someone he was expected to beat eas-

to start their careers at corner. Though he was entering his fourth season in the program, Thomas’ time on the field was limited. While his talent in high school made him a highly sought-after recruit, he spent the majority of his career in Joe Paterno’s doghouse. Thomas appeared sparingly last season. A promising start to his 2010 campaign saw him

come up with an interception in the early going before an inhouse suspension kept him off the field. He is the fourth player to leave the team since O’Brien was hired in January, joining Drake, receiver Devon Smith and defensive end Shawn Oakman.

Hill makes history with 2nd cycle The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Aaron Hill hit for the cycle for the second time in 12 days and Ian Kennedy pitched seven strong innings, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 9-3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night. The Arizona Diamondbacks’ second baseman also singled, doubled, tripled and homered on June 18 against Seattle. Brooklyn’s Babe Herman is the only other major leaguer to hit for two cycles in one season since 1900, according to STATS LLC. He accomplished the feat in 1931. Kennedy (6-7) allowed a run in the first, but then kept Milwaukee off the board until the sixth when he created his own jam that led to two unearned runs. Marlins 6, Phillies 2

MIAMI — Josh Johnson pitched six strong innings to help the Miami Marlins win consecutive games for the first time in nearly a month and keep Cliff Lee winless with a 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. Justin Ruggiano tied a career high with three hits and drove in two runs for Miami, which last won consecutive games June 2-3 at Philadelphia. The Marlins were 4-17 since. Johnson (5-5) allowed one run and struck out six, improving to 5-2 with a 2.91 ERA in his last 10 starts. Lee (0-5) allowed six runs in 4 2/3 innings, falling to 0-2 with a 7.30 ERA in his last four starts. Nationals 5, Braves 4

ATLANTA — Michael Morse had four hits, including the go-ahead homer in the eighth inning after Washington had blown a four-run lead, and the Nationals beat the Atlanta

Braves 5-4 on Friday night. Andrelton Simmons’ two-run homer off Ross Detwiler capped Atlanta’s four-run seventh inning which erased the Nationals’ 4-0 lead. Morse had a quick answer by hitting right-hander Chad Durbin’s first pitch over the wall in right field leading off the eighth. The Nationals, who swept a three-game series in Atlanta on May 25-27, are 5-1 against the Braves this season. NL Eastleading Washington is 41⁄2 games ahead of Atlanta. The Nationals began the night 31⁄2 games ahead of the Mets. Rockies 10, Padres 2

DENVER — Jeff Francis pitched six scoreless innings, and Rex Brothers bailed out newly recalled Tyler Chatwood before the Colorado Rockies broke out for a 10-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday night. Michael Cuddyer and Wilin Rosario each hit two-run homers in the eighth inning to help secure the win for Francis. Francis (1-1) became the first Rockies starter to earn a win since June 4, the last time the Rockies won consecutive games. Cubs 4, Astros 0

CHICAGO — Paul Maholm pitched into the ninth inning to earn his first win in seven weeks and the Chicago Cubs hit three homers in a 4-0 victory over the Houston Astros on Friday. Maholm (5-6) allowed four hits over 8 1-3 innings in his 200th major league start, earning his first win since he tossed seven shutout innings in a 1-0 victory over Atlanta on May 9. The left-hander was 0-4 with a 6.43 ERA in his previous eight outings.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Yankees are not OK with White Sox A.J. The Associated Press

NEW YORK — A.J. Pierzynski homered twice, Paul Konerko and Alexei Ramirez also connected and the Chicago White Sox pounded the Yankees so hard that New York brought in outfielder Dewayne Wise to pitch in a 14-7 romp Friday night. A night after the White Sox rallied to win at Yankee Stadium on Dayan Viciedo’s threerun homer in the ninth, they made it a short and sour major league debut for Yankees starter Adam Warren. By the end, the Yankees brought in Wise for his pro pitching debut. Throwing a 79 mph fastball, he retired Konerko and Alex Rios in order to close a four-run ninth inning. Rays 4, Tigers 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Tampa Bay’s Desmond Jennings homered twice and David Price outpitched Justin Verlander to become the AL’s first 11-game winner with a 4-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night. The Rays beat the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner for the second time this season. TORONTO — Adam Lind hit two home runs, Yunel Escobar has a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-5 on Friday night. Promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas last Monday after spending more than a month in the minors, Lind hit a three-run homer off Ervin Santana in the third inning, then added a solo drive to left off Hisanori Taka-

hashi in the seventh. His fourth and fifth homers of the season ended a drought dating to May 9 at Oakland, giving Lind his first multihomer game this season and the eighth of his career. Orioles 9, Indians 8

BALTIMORE — Ryan Flaherty singled in the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning, Matt Wieters hit a three-run homer, and the Baltimore Orioles broke out of their scoring funk with a 9-8 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Friday night. On a steamy night in which temperatures reached 100 degrees, both teams worked up a sweat circling the bases. Cleveland had a season-high 16 hits, but the Orioles scored just enough runs to secure their third win in 10 games.

Rangers 4, Athletics 3

ARLINGTON, Texas — Craig Gentry’s bases-loaded triple in the eighth capped a four-run rally and Matt Harrison pitched eight strong innings to win his 11th game, lifting the Texas Rangers past the Oakland Athletics 4-3 on Friday night.

Surprise, surprise: Weltz wins Scott Weltz finishes in 2:09.01 to win the 200 breaststroke final over the favorites. By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

OMAHA, Neb. — Brendan Hansen and Eric Shanteau were the favorites. The race was a different matter. In another major breaststroke upset, Scott Weltz won the 200 meters at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials Friday night, leaving Hansen and Shanteau with only one individual event at the London Games. On a night when Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps were focused on getting through semifinal races, Nathan Adrian won the100 freestyle and Cullen Jones claimed the second spot for London, while Natalie Coughlin barely kept alive her last chance to make it back to the Olympics. But the men’s 200 breast was the real stunner, just as shocking as the women’s 100 breast, which was won by Breeja Larson over Rebecca Soni and Jessica Hardy. At least Soni got second place, still good enough for a do-over in the Olympics. Neither Hansen nor Shanteau were as fortunate. “My whole body was kind of

tingling and I was like, ‘I’m feeling it and something is different, this is the time,”’ Weltz said. “I was smiling behind the blocks, I wasn’t nervous. I felt great going into it.” Clark Burckle claimed the second spot on the Olympic team, another big surprise. Shanteau finished third and Hansen faded to fourth, the two of them forced to settle for only swimming the 100 breast in London after going 1-2 in that event at the trials. “I think you guys are as surprised as I am,” Hansen said. “I can’t believe Eric and I are not swimming the 200.” The 25-year-old Weltz moved up on the third lap and surged to the finish to win in 2 minutes, 9.01 seconds. Burckle was next in 2:09.97, edging Shanteau with the touch. “When I turned at the wall, I saw I wasn’t a body length and a half behind, I was like, ‘I’ve only got to make up a maybe a halfbody length. I can do this,”’ Weltz said. “From then on, it was like a freight train going forward.” Shanteau, who competed in the 200 breast at Beijing after being diagnosed with testicular cancer, considers the longer event his better race and thought the 100 was just a bonus. Now, it’s his only Olympic race, which is why he was especially distraught when he looked up at the board

and saw that Burckle got him by eight-hundredths of a second. Shanteau took off his cap and goggles and hung on the lane rope, his head dropping back against the wall he didn’t get to quite fast enough. Hansen finished in 2:10.25. “I didn’t think Weltz had it in him,” Hansen said. “He swam like a big-time swimmer.” Hansen got an ugly reminder of his performance at the 2008 trials, when he went in as the 200 favorite and couldn’t hold it together on the final lap. He followed with a disappointing performance in Beijing, which led him to retire from the sport in disgust. He returned after a more than two-year layoff and seemed on course for redemption after winning the 100 breast. “I’m disappointed by my performance,” Hansen said. “The whole time I thought I was right on pace. When I turned it on with 150 to go, I thought, ‘Uh oh, been here before.”’ Adrian was a big favorite in the 100 free, and this race went as expected. The 23-year-old native of Washington state led at the flip and never let up on the return lap, winning clearly in 48.10, the fourth-fastest time in the world this year. “The first 15 meters I said to myself, ‘I think can do this, I might have put myself in a good

spot,”’ Adrian said. The real battle was for the second individual spot. Jones went out strong, as always, and managed to hold on in an outside lane to touch in 48.46, giving the first African-American ever to win an Olympic swimming gold a chance to add to his collection in London. Matt Grevers was next (48.55), followed by Ricky Berens (48.80), which assures them of spots in the pool for the 400 free relay. Jimmy Feigen and 2008 Olympic relay star Jason Lezak are also on the team after finishing fifth and sixth. Lezak was fortunate to be in the field at all, putting up the ninth-fastest time in the semifinals but getting in when Lochte scratched. “He’s somebody definitely good to have on the team,” said Phelps, remembering how Lezak bailed out his bid for eight gold medals with a brilliant anchor leg in 2008. “We are going to have to do a lot of work for that relay. This is some kind of start. Having the experience that Jason has, hopefully he can help some of the younger guys get up.” Coughlin hung on in her bid to make it back to a third Olympics and take a shot at tying Jenny Thompson and Dara Torres as the most decorated female Olympians in U.S. history.

Freak storm hits Kentucky Speedway before qualifying run for tonight’s race.

By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

SPARTA, Ky. — Jimmie Johnson thought somebody had traded paint with his motorhome. Nope, that was just the wind. The five-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion took advantage of those gusts to grab the poll, edging defending champion Kyle Busch for the top spot at Kentucky Speedway on Friday night. But first Johnson had a scary moment. “I was sitting in my motorhome, watching qualifying on television and the bus started shaking real bad,” he said. “TV was a little behind and they weren’t talking about the winds, so for a minute I thought somebody backed into us.” He soon found out that it wasn’t an errant driver, but rather the powerful wind that briefly suspended qualifying. “I opened the door to look out and when I did the wind almost took the door off of the hinges,” he said. “I said, ‘OK, I see what’s going on now.”’ It was Johnson’s first polewinning run since September 2010 at Dover. “I’ve had a lot of seconds and there is nothing more frustrating than a close second in qualifying,” he said after posting a top speed of 181.818 mph and a lap time of 29.700 seconds. “But today went really well and I think we’ve got a good race car in race trim as well.”

Beating more than the heat at Congressional Hunter Mahan leads after two rounds with seven birdies in triple-digit temperature. By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

BETHESDA, Md. — A punishing golf course. Temperatures that topped 100. Hunter Mahan still managed to make Friday at Congressional feel like a breeze. Mahan finally had a good score to match the efficient way he has been swinging the club. He made seven birdies in the stifling heat for a 6-under 65, giving him a two-shot lead going into the weekend at the AT&T National as he goes after a PGA Tour-leading third win of the year. Chris Couch sought medical attention and struggled to finish in the oppressive conditions. One caddie had to stop after nine holes, and another vomited to the side of the 13th green from drinking too much water. Tiger Woods stayed in the game with a 68 in the morning, when it was still so hot that towels were used to wipe sweaty faces more than to clean clubs. He talked about the value of staying fit and strong to survive days like this. He was five shots behind. Mahan, though, has set himself apart for two days.

Tiger Woods finished with a 68 in the second round of the AT&T National golf tournament, leaving him five strokes off the lead.

“I hit a lot of good shots,” said Mahan, who missed only two fairways and three greens. “I hit so many fairways and greens, I made it easy on myself. This is a pretty punishing golf course if you get off line a little bit. I put myself in some great spots to make putts. And I felt like I played well on the back, when it was getting really hot and you’re getting a little bit more tired.” Mahan was at 7-under 135. His two rounds fulfilled what his swing coach, Sean Foley, said Thursday when describing his ball-striking as “a laser show.” Robert Garrigus had his sixth straight sub-par round at Con-

gressional — that includes last year at the U.S. Open when he became a footnote in history as only the fourth American to break par all rounds of a U.S. Open — with a 67 and was two shots behind, along with Jimmy Walker and Brendon De Jonge, who each had a 69. Stewart Cink, who draped a towel over his head waiting his turn to putt on the 14th green, showed signs of a resurgence with a 68 that put him in the group three shots behind, along with Vijay Singh (70), Pat Perez (69) and Rod Pampling (67). Woods was at 2-under 140, in a tie for 11th.

More telling than only 18 players who remained under par was the cut at 148. It was one shot higher than the cut for the U.S. Open last year at Congressional, and it was the highest score to make the cut at a regular PGA Tour event since 149 at The Barclays in 2009. Congressional was tough — fast and firm on the course, scorching in the air — but it was fair. Mahan twice had to save par over the last five holes. He came up short on the 14th, but he had a couple of options. With the pin all the way to the back behind a ridge, he could run it up the slope to the hole, or even play long and have it roll back to the hole. He chose to lag it to the hole, hit it thin, and got away with the slight miss when it rolled back to 2 feet. “I expected to hit it a little bit cleaner off the club face, but that how you shoot 65,” he said. “Get good breaks like that.” Woods was as happy about two pars as he was with his 50-foot eagle putt on the 16th hole that put him under par for the first time. “The pars at 14 and 15 were something I needed to have happen,” Woods said. “I hit two good wedge shots in there after two poor drives and gave myself a couple good looks, made those, and then I rewarded all that hard work at the next hole with eagle.”

The freakish windstorm — only a few spatters of rain fell from a slate-gray sky — only put the brakes on qualifying for a short time. But when the cars returned, the temperature on the track had plummeted from around 140 degrees. “It’s amazing with the 30- to 40degree drop that we had how much more grip there was in the track,” said Johnson, who is fourth in the Sprint Cup standings so far this season. “But when it comes to qualifying you just have to lay it on the line and hope it works.” Busch, the last car on the track, just missed the pole at 181.421 mph. “We’re starting up front, which is good for us,” he said. “I typically don’t qualify well, but this is a place where we know what we have to do.” A crew member for the Turner Motorsports team sustained a broken hand during the blustery winds and had to be taken to a nearby hospital for observation. A spokesman said he was expected to be fine. Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick made up the second row, with Ryan Newman and Clint Bowyer making up row three. Hamlin said the dropping temperature changed everything. “By being able to go later, the track was steadily cooling off,” he said. “Everyone who went toward the end obviously had a big advantage.” Dale Earnhardt Jr., seventh on the grid, said everyone is trying to figure out what surface conditions will be at the start. “The track has changed quite a bit,” he said. “We don’t know what the balance will be like.”

Armstrong accused of cheating by USADA

Too harsh? NCAA mulls Boise penalty

Formal charges from doping agency could lead to stripping of star’s Tour de France titles.

By JESSIE L. BONNER Associated Press

BOISE, Idaho — The NCAA said Friday it will reconsider scholarship sanctions imposed on Boise State’s football program. In a 25-page decision, the NCAA Division I Infractions Appeals Committee concluded that the scholarship penalty announced last September, in addition to Boise State’s self-imposed sanctions, was “excessive such that it constituted an abuse of discretion.” Boise State’s voluntary measures included three fewer scholarships for the 2011-12 school year and fewer preseason practices. The NCAA added scholarship reductions from 85 to 82 through the 2013-14 school year and limited contact during spring practice. The university appealed the additional sanctions for the football program, arguing that the NCAA’s history of scholarship reduction penalties was inconsistent with penalties imposed in the case of Boise State. The appeals committee agreed. “Of the 10 cases that involved the FBS and reductions of football grants-in-aid over the past five years, only two had reductions of grants-in-aid in football as great or greater than those imposed in this case,” the panel found. The appeals committee upheld the spring practice penalty while remanding the scholarship sanctions back to the infractions committee for reconsideration. “We are pleased that the Appeals Committee agreed in the case of the scholarships,” said Boise State President Bob Kustra. “We will await a decision from the Infractions Committee on the final scholarship penalty.”

LIEGE, Belgium — Cadel Evans thinks one Tour de France title will make it easier to win another one. And he’s ready to add that second championship right now. Evans opens his title defense when the 99th edition of cycling’s marquee race begins today with a quick, 4-mile prologue in Liege, Belgium — an individual time trial expected to be dominated by specialists such as Fabien Cancellara of Switzerland and Tony Martin of Germany, or contender Bradley Wiggins of Britain. The beginning of the Tour offers the cycling world a welcome return to racing after the sport’s doping ghosts returned this month, with charges by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that Lance Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs en route to his seven Tour victo-

ries. He denies doping and notes he has never failed a drug test. For a race covering 2,100 miles over three weeks, the prologue is just the very beginning for the rider who will cycle down Paris’ Champs-Elysees in the yellow jersey on July 22 — but it could provide an early indication about who won’t be in front at the end. Evans was already playing down expectations about how he might fare in it. “It starts tomorrow on a stage that isn’t so suited to me,” the BMC team leader said Friday. “But from here on in, it’s all systems go, and I’m looking forward to getting another Tour started.” Evans says he has a “similar mentality” to his winning approach last year. But this year’s route goes heavier on time trials — with more than 60 miles total in individual races against the clock — and lighter on steep mountain climbs than the most recent Tours. “Knowing that we have already won one, it makes it quite a little bit easier,” Evans said.

“When you’ve won one — in the bag — it’s there. ... It makes it a whole lot easier. You don’t have this question of doubt: ‘Maybe I can win it, maybe I can’t?’ We know we can.” He acknowledged that race connoisseurs are predicting a two-man showdown between Evans and Wiggins, a threetime Olympic track gold medalist who has converted to road races and worked hard to improve in the mountains that are often crucial to winning the Tour. “They tell me that Wiggins is the man to beat, so they say, but we’ll see it on the roads,” Evans said. “Three weeks on the road is a long time, and a lot can happen.” Wiggins is off to a terrific start this season, winning the Criterium du Dauphine, the Tour de Romandie and ParisNice stage races this year. Evans, by comparison, admitted he has been off to a “bit of a quiet start” to 2012, with just one victory in the three-stage Criterium International — but is progressing and hopes to peak for the Tour.

AUSTIN, Texas — The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has filed formal charges against Lance Armstrong, accusing the seven-time Tour de France winner of using performance-enhancing drugs throughout the best years of his career. The agency notified Armstrong, his former team manager Johan Bruyneel and several other Armstrong team associates of the charges in a letter on Thursday. The charges came after a USADA review panel examined evidence in the case, which now goes to an arbitration panel to decide. If found guilty, Armstrong could be stripped of the Tour de France titles he won from 19992005. This year’s Tour de France begins Saturday. Armstrong maintains his innocence. Armstrong attorney Robert Luskin called the charges “wrong and baseless.” Also charged are team doctors Pedro Celaya Lezama and Luis Garcia del Moral; team trainer Pepe Marti, and consulting doctor Michele Ferrari. Because they are so closely linked, USADA rolled all of the charges into a single case. Armstrong and the others “(have) been part of a doping conspiracy involving team officials, employees, doctors and elite cyclists,” said the USADA letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press. The letter accuses Armstrong of using, possessing and trafficking banned substances including the blood-booster EPO, blood transfusions and steroids. The charges date back to 1998, after he had been declared cancer free but before his first Tour de France

victory the following summer. Bruyneel, who is currently the manager of the Radioshack-Nissan-Trek team recently announced he would skip this year’s Tour because of the USADA investigation. USADA says it has at least 10 former Armstrong teammates and associates who will testify, and blood samples from 2009 and 2010 that are “fully consistent” with blood doping. Armstrong and the others charged have until July 9 to inform USADA if they plan to challenge the evidence before an arbitration panel. The 40-year-old Armstrong retired from cycling last year, and in February a two-year federal investigation centering on alleged drug use by Armstrong and his teams closed without charges. “It is the entirely predictable product of USADA’s toxic obsession with Lance Armstrong and a process in which truth is not a priority,” Luskin said. “There is not one shred of credible evidence to support USADA’s charges and an unbroken record of more than 500 clean tests over more than a decade and a half to refute it.”

PHILADELPHIA — The Flyers named Terry Murray coach of their AHL affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms, on Friday. Murray, 61, was fired in December by the Los Angeles Kings, who went on to win the Stanley Cup under the direction of Darryl Sutter. Murray was coach of the Flyers from 1994-1997, leading Philadelphia to the Stanley Cup final in the latter. He was 118-64-30 in 212 games for the Flyers. “I got a call from (Flyers general manager) Paul Holmgren before the draft. We made a commitment over the phone to do this,” Murray said. “There wasn’t a lot of stuff coming in from the NHL teams after I got fired. The phone rings for about four or five days and then it goes silent, and there was nothing up until Homer called me. “I took some time to think about it, and ... I’m a hockey coach, I love to coach.” The Kings, who went 16-4 in the postseason, will still give Murray a championship ring, and Sutter rented Murray’s house in Manhattan Beach after taking the job. “We feel very fortunate to be able to bring Terry back to the Flyers organization,” Holmgren said. “Terry brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, is an excellent teacher and a strong believer in the development process of young players.” Murray was also coach of the Florida Panthers (1998-2001) and the Washington Capitals (1989-1994). “I feel I build good teams and get the right attitude and right chemistry together,” Murray said, “and let them go play the game.”

Terry Murray led the Flyers to the 1997 Stanley Cup final, winning 118 games in four years. He was fired by Los Angeles in December.

The Flyers also named Ian Laperriere the director of player development. Laperriere, 38, recently announced his retirement following a career that featured 1,083 games across 16 NHL seasons. “It’s a job that suits me well,” Laperriere said. “It’s one of those jobs that you need a relationship with the young guys and you need to have some experience, and I think I have both. I’ve always been able to relate well with anybody, from 18-year-old kids to 40-year-old veterans. “It’s always been one of my strengths, so I’m going to use that.” Laperriere missed the last two seasons due to a head injury. Last season, Laperriere won the Masterton Memorial Trophy for his perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey. “He’s a player I have a great deal of respect for, going back to my time of coaching and scouting in the league and being an assistant coach,” Murray said of Laperriere. “He’s one of the most competitive players that you could possibly face in any given night, and I have a lot of respect for the kind of game that he showed. “I know that he’s very intense, he’s going to work very hard, he has a great deal of experience in the game, and he’s going to do a tremendous job with his developmental role.”

Busch InBev adds brands

Anheuser-Busch InBev agreed Friday to buy the half of Corona maker Grupo Modelo it doesn’t already own for $20.1 billion in cash, in a deal that will greatly increase the size and dominance of the world’s largest brewer. The acquisition would bring under one company many of the world’s bestknown beer brands — Corona, Modelo and Pacifico would join AB InBev’s Budweiser, Beck’s and Stella Artois, among others. The combined company would have annual sales of $47 billion, and employ 150,000 workers in 24 countries. In a related deal, Modelo agreed to sell its 50 percent stake in distributor Crown Imports LLC to its partner, winemaker Constellation Brands Inc. of New York, for $1.85 billion.

The Associated Press

Federal disclosure rules that go into effect Sunday will make it easier for workers and retirees to see how much their 401(k) accounts are being docked in fees. As of July, 401(k) providers must clearly disclose to employers for the first time the fees they charge the retirement savings plans for investment management, record keeping, administration and other services. Under the new rules, the Department of Labor will require plan providers to disclose detailed 401(k) fee information to employers. The companies must then share that information with their plan participants. Employers are required to pro- Employers are vide informa- required to tion to participants by Aug. 30 provide inshowing what formation to fees various in- participants vestment opby Aug. 30. tions in their 401(k) plans entail. But it won’t be until fall, when most participants receive their third-quarter account statements, that they will see the exact amount of fees deducted from their accounts. Fidelity Investments, the nation’s largest 401(k) administrator, already has sent out fee disclosure information to about two-thirds of its approximately 12 million account holders. Along with employers that sponsor 401(k) plans, many of the nation’s 72 million plan participants will likely be surprised by the amount of fees. A recent survey of employers by Congress’ nonpartisan Government Accountability Office found that half did not know if they or their plan participants paid investment management fees, or they wrongly believed that the fees were waived. Fees can be as high as 1.9 percent of assets annually but average about 1.3 percent for plans with fewer than 100 members, which account for 88 percent of plans, according to the GAO report. The fees can be complex because several different companies may play roles in administering plans, leading to layers of fees shared among the primary plan provider, the plan sponsor and participants.

Madoff brother guilty

The younger brother and business partner of disgraced financier Bernard Madoff pleaded guilty Friday to charges he doctored documents, but insisted he knew nothing about his brother’s historic Ponzi scheme and was “in total shock” when he found out about it. An emotional Peter Madoff, 66, entered the plea in a deal that permits him to remain Madoff free on $5 million bail pending his Oct. 4 sentencing. He agreed not to contest a 10-year prison sentence.

Plan boosts stocks

World markets surge based on Europe rescue plan By DANIEL WAGNER AP Business Writer

Financial markets around the world stormed higher Friday after European leaders came up with a breakthrough plan to rescue banks, relieve debt-burdened governments and restore investor confidence. The Dow Jones industrial average scored its second-biggest gain this year, and stocks advanced even further in Europe, in strong and weak countries alike. The price of oil posted its biggest one-day increase in more than three years, and other commodities shot higher — signs of hope that a deal in Europe will remove a big barrier to a healthier world economy. In Brussels, leaders of the 17 countries that use the euro agreed to pump

Pa. loses 5 drill rigs

The number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. is down by seven this week to 1,959. Oil field services company Baker Hughes Inc. reported Friday that 1,421 rigs were exploring for oil and 534 for gas. Four were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago, Baker Hughes reported 1,886 rigs. Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Oklahoma gained 10 rigs. Texas lost nine rigs, North Dakota lost eight and Pennsylvania lost five.

Pay, spending flat in May

U.S. consumers spent no more in May than in April after seeing almost no gain in their pay. Americans cut back on spending on autos and other long-lasting manufactured goods. Income growth edged up 0.2 percent in May but the increase came from investment income. Wages and salaries, the biggest income component, were flat.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Even more than the introduction of the personal computer, the iPhone has upended the technological world order and revolutionized how people manage their daily lives. And as of Friday, it was just 5 years old. "There has been no other device that has changed social and technological life in such a short time," said Clifford Nass, a Stanford University sociologist and psychologist who studies how technology impacts society.

The heat goes on this weekend but probably not with quite the intensity of the past 24 hours. Nonetheless, try to take it easy out there as daytime temperatures continue to trend well above normal with noticeable humidity. Cloudiness today will limit the amount of sunshine to some extent and there might be a thundershower. Plenty of hot sunshine can be expected for the next several days with only a small risk of rain for all those evening ﬁreworks displays. However, conditions may ripen for storms to arrive on July 4th.

Like it low-tech? Look no farther than the lawn

Off the clock, co-workers do serious backyard battle By SARA POKORNY

By BILL DALEY

spokorny@timesleader.com

ould you prefer a Frisbee or a bola? Or perhaps the beanbag, a childhood favorite, is more your speed? • In the world of R.J. Macaravage and friends, your weapon of choice doesn’t matter: It’s all in the way you wield it. • “Where’s the intensity?” 26-year-old Walt Stevens of West Wyoming yelled to Darren Heiser, 23, of Wyoming, during a game of KanJam. All Stevens could do was fling the Frisbee back at him as hard as he could.

ould kick the can kick the bucket? Paul Tukey is certainly worried. • Tukey, who lives in North Kingstown, R.I., has wondered if oldfashioned lawn games could fall casualty to this uber-computerized age — biting the dust like pay phones, film cameras and, for the younger set, emails (they text instead). That’s why he wrote, with actress Victoria Rowell, “Tag, Toss & Run: 40 Classic Lawn Games” (Storey, $14.95), to get kids of all ages to put down the handhelds and go outside to have fun, the low-tech way. “We didn’t want to relegate lawn games to memory,” said Tukey, author of “The Organic Lawn Care Manual” and national spokesman for SafeLawns.org, which promotes environmentally safe yard care and gardening. “Let kids play on the lawn instead of just looking at the lawn.” With summer vacation in full swing, is there a more enticing offer than playing on the lawn? “Tag, Toss & Run” offers a variety of options. There are how-to’s for such well-known games as kick the can, flag football and badminton, and games that may be less familiar, such as crab soccer and molkky, a Finnish game where players try to knock down pins. City folks aren’t ignored either. The book describes five games for the pavement, including hopscotch, tictac-toss and stoopball. Tukey said the book aims to get families outside. Playing indoors — some parents have asked him for a book of such games — won’t do. “I find that such a tragedy. Indoors is just not the

“Come on,” Tony Griffiths, 29, of Wilkes-Barre cried, as Macaravage landed his bola on the same rung as Griffith’s during a game of Ladderball, canceling out the points Griffiths had just racked up. These warriors of backyard game play have been at it for years, starting their hangout sessions at Macaravage’s Plains Township home – or “entertainment complex” – with the popular tailgate game Cornhole, also known as Baggo or simply Beanbag Toss. “We all work at the casino, and this is a way for us to hang out outside that,” Macaravage, 41, said. “We get together here as much as possible and have a good time.” Cornhole is a game played with singles or doubles, eight beanbags and two slanted wooden boards with a hole on each end. The boards are set 27 feet apart from front edge to front edge. In doubles, teammates stand See CORNHOLE, Page 3C

CORNHOLE

FOLLOW THE LEADER

Also called Baggo, or simply beanbags, this popular tailgate game is played with singles or doubles, eight beanbags and two slanted wooden boards with a hole on each end. The boards are set 27 feet apart from front edge to front edge. In doubles, teammates stand opposite each other. A beanbag on the board earns one point, while a beanbag in the hole earns three points. A team must hit 21 points exactly. Going over 21 points will bring the score back down.

From “Tag, Toss & Run: 40 Classic Lawn Games” by Paul Tukey and Victoria Rowell: Players follow the actions of the designated leader, no matter how silly. A flat surface free of tripping hazards is recommended because players will have their eyes focused on the leader rather than the ground.

KANJAM

LADDERBALL Two three-rung ladders are spaced 15 to 20 feet apart. Teams of one or two people (who stand opposite each other) throw bolas at the rungs in an attempt to get 21 points exactly. The top is worth three points, the middle worth two and the bottom worth one. Two bolas on one rung from differing teams results in a cancellation of points.

Chicago Tribune

R.J. Macaravage of Plains Township demonstrates perfect form while attempting to slam a Frisbee into a can for points during a game of KanJam.

Scorekeeping is a breeze with this tower, complete with two convenient beverage holders.

Two black drums with a slot in the front of each and an open top sit 30 feet apart. The game must be played with teams of two, with members standing on opposite sides, on a mission for 21 points. One team member throws the Frisbee toward the can, aiming to get it in the front slot or float it into the top to end the game. The thrower also can aim straight for the can, resulting in two points. If the Frisbee doesn’t seem to be going that way, the teammate standing near the drum can help out. They can either hit it into the outside of the drum to score one point or into the top or slot of the drum to score three points, called a KanJam.

How to properly paint a rusty fridge and steel door A couple of responses came in recently to a question about taking care of rust on a refrigerator at the Atlantic Shore, and I thought I’d share, since summer is upon us. From Nate Lentz, who, with 40 years’ experience in the field, says “whenever I see the word ‘rust,’ my eyes light up”: Lentz suggests that once the rust is removed, the refrigerator should be polished periodically. He uses Nu-Finish car polish. From Bill in Snyder County, Pa.: “I painted a refrigerator a number of years ago for a rental, using the instructions of a person who owned a used-furniture store. “I removed the door and all the hardware and gave it a very light sanding with very fine paper. After cleaning it, I thinned the oil-based almond paint I was using. I then used an inexpensive foam roller to paint the refrigerator. I put on a second coat, and maybe a third; no problem once it was prepped. The results were amazing.” ••• Q: I have an exterior front door that had never been painted. It’s steel over wood with a decorative glass window in the middle. My husband asked the paint guy what type of paint would be best (describing our unpainted door) and he sold us Benjamin Moore premium exterior MoorGlo Soft Gloss fortified acrylic house paint. I scrubbed the door clean (outside part), lightly sanded it with a green kitchen Scotch-Brite pad, and cleaned and dried the door. Once dry, on a cool dry day – we live in Northeast Florida – I painted the door. I knew it would have streaks from a brush – spraying would’ve been better – but I had

YOUR PLACE ALAN J. HEAVENS no idea after letting it thoroughly dry, when pulling the tape off, the paint would come off with it. My friend said I should’ve used a primer first. Why wouldn’t the paint guy have recommended that knowing our metal door was unpainted? What do we do now? A: Direct-to-metal gloss latex products may be used for ferrous metals, following manufacturer’s directions closely, with or without primer, says the Paint Quality Institute, but best results will be obtained using a metal primer. I’m a firm believer in lightly sanding between coats of anything. It gets rid of little paint bumps on the surface and helps the next coat adhere better. It is a must when you polyurethane anything. I wouldn’t sand off what you have done, but I would sand to rough it up and even off the surface where the paint has been pulled off with the painter’s tape. I’d look online to find a tape that is less likely to pull off a smooth surface such as the one you are working on. Sand the surface, wash it, let it dry, and then make sure it is clean before applying two coats of primer, drying and lightly sanding in between, with a synthetic nap roller for water-based and a mohair for oil. Ten millimeter is fine. Then put on the topcoat, sticking with what the guy at the hardware store recommended. Questions? E-mail Alan J.

It describes the joys and challenges of growing food at the White House, offers gardening tips and recipes, profiles public food gardens around the country and promotes the first lady’s campaign to end childhood obesity. Essays and photos bring the garden to life, including plenty of portraits of the first dog, Bo.

THE TIMES LEADER treatment for an infected plant. In an Ohio State University Extension fact sheet on the topic, plant pathologist Dennis J. Lewandowski recommends removing and destroying the plant. Don’t compost it, because that could spread the disease. If you want to plant another hosta in that spot, wait until any remaining bits of root have decomposed so there’s no residual virus in the soil, Lewandowski says. It’s OK to put another kind of plant there, because the virus affects only hostas. Lewandowski’s fact sheet, HYG-3069-08, can be found at http://ohioline.osu.edu.

same,” he said. Outdoor games offer many teachable moments, including an appreciation of nature, he added. Of course, yard games aren’t just for kids. Grown-ups — young singles, active retirees, anyone — can use play to break the social ice, or give guests something to do besides nibble and sip. Tukey has been busy teaching and playing lawn games across the country with people of all generations. Of all the games one can play, he said follow the leader is perhaps the most universally doable. Anyone can play it anywhere, and no special equipment is needed. There doesn’t even have to be a winner unless you choose to play a variation of the game, some of which are described in the book. “And they’re getting exercise without even realizing it,” Tukey said.

being rude. It’s like the difference between cheering or jeering in the stands, he said. Ironically, all that technology we rely on so much in our lives may intrude even on the lawn. Post said the “electronic wall” that can envelope one when using various social-media applications can lead us to say and do things we wouldn’t do in person. That could possibly lead to a “slip” out in the yard. “Emulate the behavior you would expect from others,” Post said. “If someone else is putting down a player doesn’t mean you need to. Maybe you will be able to compliment the player.” Post said a poor sport on a field of well-mannered players should feel foolish and correct the behavior. If not, the host may need to step in for a private word, he said. “You can win in a way that you appreciate your opponent or you can win in a way that you put them down,” Post added. “There’s a line that gets crossed, and you don’t want to play anymore.”

This two-bedroom, two-bath smart and efficient home sports a hipped roof, covered porch and spacious living area as well as a master suite.

aking excellent use of square footage, Plan HMAFAPW00593 from Homeplans.com is a good choice for a couple, small family or individual. The home offers 1,273 square feet of well-designed living space on one level. A full basement can be finished to double the space. The covered porch provides shelter for the entryway and enough space to sit on a fine day. Inside, the foyer offers a direct sightline through the living room to the backyard—a good way to make any space seem bigger. Eat quick meals at the kitchen’s bar, which opens to the living room, and enjoy the dining room, with a tray ceiling, for more leisurely meals. The modified, U-shaped kitchen has a broom closet and pantry and looks out to the covered, rear patio. The spacious living room has a sloped ceiling, central fireplace and cheerful windows. To the right, the master suite has a sloped ceiling and a high shelf for plants or other items. The media room easily converts to form a second bedroom with a full bath nearby.

opposite each other. A beanbag on the board earns one point, while a beanbag in the hole earns three points. A team must hit 21 points exactly. Going over 21 points will bring the score back down. “When you’re at 19, that’s when you need to bring your short game into play,” Macaravage said. “At that point you just want to get the bags on the board.” Before anyone can talk further about scores, the guys must point out that there’s a perfect way to keep track. “Score pads on poles that stick in the ground, complete with two holders for your adult beverages,” Griffiths said. Macaravage has a set of Steelers Cornhole boards as well as a set of Pittsburgh Penguins boards. Each has names scrawled across it, as four beanbags in the hole in a row earns a player the right to sign and date the set. Meanwhile, ladderball consists of two three-rung ladders spaced 15 to 20 feet apart. Teams of one or two people (who stand opposite each other) throw bolas at the rungs in an attempt to get 21 points exactly. The top is worth three points, the middle two, and the bottom one. Two bolas on one rung from differing teams results in a cancellation of points. Though these two games are hits, a new form of outdoor competition is taking hold: KanJam. Griffiths gets pumped up just thinking about it. “He will dive all over to make plays,” Macaravage said. “It gets crazy.” Two black drums with a slot in the front of each and an open

top sit 30 feet apart. The game must be played with teams of two, members standing on opposite sides, in the search for 21 points. One team member throws the Frisbee toward the can, aiming to get it in the front slot or float it into the top to end the game. The thrower also can aim straight for the can, resulting in two points. If the Frisbee doesn’t seem to be going that way, the teammate standing near the drum can assist. The helper can either hit it into the outside of the drum to score one point or into the top or slot of the drum to score three

points, called a KanJam. Typically, this is when all hell breaks loose. “Your hand really starts to sting,” Stevens said. “My muscles hurt the day after we played it for the first time,” Macaravage said. And Griffiths? Well he has nothing to say, just ground to dive on and Frisbees to bat down, triumphantly, into the KanJam. All in a day’s play.

Turn your indoor plants into showstoppers On the indoor gardening stage, plants such as peace lily, Boston fern and sansevieria are veterans, tried-and-true performers that require little fussing over. But there are scene changes afoot; new plants and ideas are making indoor gardening a more exciting show. So what’s on the playbill? Quirky succulents, spring bulbs, small trees, even outdoor plants, such as blue fescue grass, begonias, flowering maple and lobelia — all are suggestions from Tovah Martin, a horticulturist in Roxbury, Conn., and author of the new “The Unexpected Houseplant”

(Timber Press). “Not everything translates, but some plants make the leap indoors without a whimper,” Martin says. She also suggests fragrant plants such as lavender, Constantinople narcissus and night-blooming jasmine. There are some eye-popping new offerings on the market for indoor gardens, agrees Doug Jimerson, garden editorial director for Better Homes & Gardens magazine. “Some of the most exciting things are new color forms of classic varieties like Chinese evergreens, imported from Thailand, that have boldly patterned red, cream and green leaves,” he says.

“For years, they were only available with green or mottled leaves.” Creative indoor gardeners also can make interesting tablescapes using a flat tray, potting mix, and aquarium gravel or river rocks, suggests Rosemary McCreary, author of “Tabletop Gardens” (Storey, 2002). “Closely plant small succulents of contrasting textures and hues, like sedum, echeveria and sempervivum. They’re showstoppers!” she says. Contemporary living spaces are well served by such minimalist table gardens, but they also could be enhanced by a single dramatic tree. Figs and palms are common choices, but Martin suggests

I had no feeling in my feet and did not feel comfortable walking up steps and maintaining my balance. My feet would swell and hurt so bad that even a blanket on them would be painful. It limited me because I couldn’t walk even in my bare feet. Now I can walk in my Theresa Matthews bare feet and I love it. I now can walk up and down steps easily and don’t have the severe pain that I had. I recommend Neuropathy Center of Kingston to everyone I know. I also like the people here. It’s like being part of a family.

Lunch turns into lecture on tipping etiqutte after co-worker’s big tip Dear Abby: My co-workers and I recently went out to eat and I was put in an awkward situation. One of them announced that I had left a big tip when I paid my bill. I was raised well below the poverty line, and my mother’s tips literally determined how much we would be able to eat that day. The co-worker who said it became upset with me and began lecturing me about how “rude” it is to leave a large tip, especially when you’re with other people. She even said it “degrades” the server. My mom may have raised me differently than most people, but I was taught that it’s OK to leave a big tip

DEAR ABBY ADVICE as long as you don’t announce it to everyone. Was what I did considered rude? — Generous in Connecticut Dear Generous: No. The person who was rude was your co-worker, for making a spectacle. She probably did it because your tip made hers appear to be stingy. If you felt your server merited it, you were right to leave a large tip. P.S. I have never heard of a server feeling “degraded” because of a large tip. Grateful, yes. Degraded, never!

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: I am dating a man, “Cameron,” I am crazy about. We plan to be married next year once I finish college. There is just one issue that’s stressing me. Cam’s apartment is gross and messy. There are dishes from various dinners scattered all over the place. I find it disgusting, and I’m worried he will be like this after we’re married. I have tried to talk to him about it, but he gets angry and says that it’s HIS place. He says he’ll be neater when we’re married. I’m not sure I believe that. This seems a silly thing to cause discord in a relationship, which is otherwise going well, but I AM concerned. Is there anything I can do? — Grossed Out in Bloomington, Ind.

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Grossed Out: Yes, there is. You can face the fact that once you marry Cameron he is still going to be the same person he is now — sloppy, messy and defensive when you point out something that needs improvement. People don’t magically change after they say “I do.” If you love him enough to accept him the way he is, and be the primary housekeeper after you’re married, you may have a happy union. If not, put your foot down. Dear Abby: Many years ago I shoplifted a $30 item from a department store. Now I’d like to clear my conscience and make amends, but how? I want to remain anonymous, so I can’t send a check. Sending cash by mail seems unwise, and even with Google I have been unable to find a

corporate address for an appropriate division. Can you help? — Anonymous in the USA Dear Anonymous: Because you have made an honest effort and haven’t been able to come up with an address to send the money, try to find out if the department store sponsors an activity for charity and donate to that. Or, alternatively, give the money to a charity of your choice, which may salve your conscience and do a good deed at the same time. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The image is of you moving forward through a tunnel. You know there will be a light at the end even if you can’t see it just yet. Turn on your headlights, and move methodically forward. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The ability to connect comes easily to you most times, but today you may need a little help. The road to conversation will be smooth when you express genuine interest in what a person is saying and respond positively. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be guided by your spirit animal, the butterfly, flitting around ideas, engagements and social circles. “The butterfly counts not months but moments and has time enough.” — Rabindranath Tagore CANCER (June 22-July 22). The way familiars interact can be habitual and predictable. Add a new person to the mix, visit in a different city or do something else to change the dynamic, and the pattern is interrupted, giving you a fair chance at fun. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Focus your energy on reacting well to the situation at hand instead of trying to figure out why it happened in the first place. You can figure that out later or, more likely, realize that some things are out of our control. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s best not to answer every request made of you. Helping those who don’t really need it begins a sequence of dependency that is not healthy for anyone involved. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you’re holding on to what another

person did wrong, you won’t be able to grasp what’s right in your world. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The afternoon presents the equivalent of a splash of cold water to the face. Celebrate whatever brings awareness into your life. Your heart expands, and you are consciously present to your connectedness with others. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some say that a lack of set conditions is the way to happiness. Others say that high standards are necessary to keep you on track with your goals. You’ll be deeply satisfied in some middle ground. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your thinking will swing like a pendulum between two extremes. You will be organized and practical one moment and fantastically whimsical the next. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Difficult things are easier to accomplish, while the things that are usually a snap may be strangely challenging. Emotional satisfaction isn’t dependent on results. It’s about how much fun you have in the process. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Male relationships are favored, and your fortunes will be improved by an exchange with a man. This person will be interested in a skill you have or a style in which you communicate. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 30). Led by your heart, love changes you this year. Relationships have a strong influence on where you’ll live and work. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 39, 27, 46 and 23.
