DJOKOVIC WINS Until Sunday, Novak Djokovic never managed to win a grass-court event of any sort, let alone Wimbledon. Also, Djokovic never was able to beat Rafael Nadal in a Grand Slam match, let alone a final. Until this nearly perfect year, Djokovic was very good. Now he’s great. Djokovic beat the defending champion Nadal, winning 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 for his first title at the All England Club. Djokovic is now 48-1 with eight titles in 2011, including major trophies from the Australian Open and Wimbledon.

for the middle of summer than the Fourth of July. Mix parades, cookouts, picnics, and baseball with a warm, lazy summer day and you have a recipe for perfection. But let’s face it.

There are a number of shows around the area this evening, but the big one, complete with a soundtrack by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic, will be at Kirby Park. Events start at 11 a.m., with a concert by the philharmonic at 7:45 p.m. followed by fireworks.

KINGSTON TWP. – A Christian-based private school sponsored by local churches is in its foundation process and plans to begin its first academic year in August 2012, said Mark DiPippa, president of the school. DiPippa, former director of development at MMI Preparatory School in Kingston, said the idea for the kindergarten through eighth-grade school called Rock Solid Academy began in January 2010. He said Rock Solid Academy aims to focus on development of the body, mind and spirit of its pupils. “There was a group of parents that came together about 18 months ago … and Christians in the area decided this is something they’d like to pursue,” said DiPippa. He said that over the course of 18 months several committees have formed with members from a few local churches including Back Mountain Harvest Assembly and Cross Creek Community Church in Trucksville, the Fellowship Evangelical Free Church in Dallas Township and First Assembly of God Church in Wilkes-Barre. “My intention is to begin to meet with pastors of local denominations and generate an interest,” said DiPippa. “I’d love to see all sects of Christian churches involved, not just evangelical, but any church.”

Syrian forces make arrests

yrian forces on Sunday carried out arrests in the western city of Hama, S an opposition stronghold, amid the sound of heavy gunfire, an anti-government activist said. The arrests came two days after some 300,000 protesters gathered in Hama in the largest demonstration yet in a three-month-old uprising against President Bashar Assad. The protest carried important symbolism for the anti-government movement: in 1982, Assad’s late father and predecessor, Hafez, crushed a rebellion in the city by Syrian members of the pan-Arab Muslim Brotherhood movement, killing thousands. Sunday’s arrests took place near Hama’s sports stadium, said Lebanonbased Syrian activist Rami Nakhleh, who coordinates information from a loose network of activists in Syria.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Three U.S. senators visiting Kabul said Sunday they are worried that President Barack Obama’s planned withdrawal of 33,000 American troops by September 2012 could undermine Afghan morale, embolden the insurgency and hamper efforts to defeat Taliban fighters. John McCain, Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham said they are heartened by the progress of Afghan security forces, but worry that Obama’s withdrawal plan could deplete American military strength before dealing a decisive blow to the Taliban, especially in eastern Afghanistan. That part of the country is a haven for the Afghan and Pakistani wings of the Taliban, and alQaida affiliates. “I believe that the planned drawdown is an unnecessary risk,” McCain, a Re-

publican from Arizona, who claimed that no military leader has spoken in favor of the timetable. Lt. Gen. John R. Allen, a Marine general expected to carry out the president’s drawdown order, has said the schedule is a bit more aggressive than the military had anticipated. Allen has cautioned that successfully winding down the war will require new progress on a wide front, including more help from allies and less Afghan corruption. McCain — during a stop at the Kabul headquarters of the foreign military contingent, called the International Security Assistance Force — said he’s concerned there may not be enough American troops for a move from southern Afghanistan to the east to “finish the job there.” There are currently about 90,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan among a total international force of more than 132,000. NATO has deployed the bulk of its forces to Helmand and Kandahar, two southern provinces where Afghan Taliban influence is strong, but international terrorist groups are less influential. McCain said the drawdown will de-

prive NATO “to a significant degree” as it attempts to pacify eastern Afghanistan next summer. Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, cited gains in Afghan security force recruitment and capability and said he was optimistic that native forces would soon be ready to take over security. But Graham also worried Obama’s withdrawal plan may reduce U.S. troop strength in Afghanistan too quickly. “Withdrawal is what the enemy hopes to hear,” said Graham. “Our goal is to make sure that the enemy doesn’t hear withdrawal and the Afghan people don’t

hear withdrawal.” Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, said it was important to reassure Afghans that they will continue to receive help long after the 2014 deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops. “We’re certainly going to be here in great numbers until the end of 2014 and I hope as a result of a strategic long-term partnership with Afghanistan that we will have a military presence here and cooperation here with our Afghan partners for a long time after that,” said Lieberman.

Site’s radiation checked

An aircraft monitoring the area near Los Alamos where a huge wildfire has been burning has picked up no sign of unusual radiation levels. New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez announced Sunday that flights by a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plane in the past week showed radiation levels are the same as they were before the fire. The blaze raised concerns because it burned close to the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory. The lab was the site where the U.S. developed its first atomic bombs and still has large amounts of nuclear material. Los Alamos and nearby communities were evacuated nearly a week ago as the wildfire approached. About 12,000 residents were allowed to go home Sunday. Those with respiratory ailments should stay away because of smoke. LAUREL, MONT.

Teams gauge oil spill

Teams of federal and state workers fanned out Sunday along Montana’s famed Yellowstone River to gauge the environmental damage from a ruptured Exxon Mobil pipeline that spewed tens of thousands of gallons of crude oil into the waterway. The break near Billings, in southcentral Montana, fouled the riverbank and forced municipalities and irrigation districts to close intakes. There were reports of oil as far as 100 miles downstream near the town of Hysham. But an Exxon Mobil Corp. executive said shoreline damage appeared to be limited to the Yellowstone between Laurel and Billings, which includes about 20 miles of river. Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co. President Gary Pruessing said company observers flying over the river had seen “very little soiling” beyond Billings. He said the oil appeared to be evaporating and dissipating into the river as the flooded Yellowstone carries it downstream.

Thailand gets its first female leader

The sister of Thailand’s fugitive former prime minister wins landslide election victory. By TODD PITMAN Associated Press

BANGKOK — The sister of Thailand’s fugitive former prime minister led his loyalists to a landslide election victory Sunday, a stunning rout of the militarybacked government that last year crushed protests by his supporters with a bloody crackdown that left the capital in flames. The results pave the way for Thaksin Shinawatra’s youngest sister, widely considered his proxy, to become the nation’s first female prime minister — if the coupprone Thai army accepts the results. The Southeast Asian kingdom has been wracked by upheaval since 2006,

by her billionaire brother. He has called her his “clone.” The party’s slogan is: “Thaksin Thinks, Pheu Thai Acts.” From exile 3,000 miles away in the desert emirate of Dubai, the 61-year-old Thaksin hailed the outcome. “People are tired of a standstill,” he said in an interview broadcast on Thai television. “They want to see change in a peaceful manner.” At her party headquarters across town, Yingluck told an electrified crowd of supporters: “I don’t want to say that Pheu Thai wins today. It’s a victory of the people.” With 98 percent of the vote counted, preliminary results from the Election Commission showed the Pheu Thai party ahead with 264 of 500 parliament seats, well over the majority needed to form a government. The Democrat party of army-backed Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva had 160 seats.

Turkey shows strong support for Libyan rebels with funding

ONONDAGA, N.Y.

By SELCAN HACAOGLU Associated Press

Police say a motorcyclist participating in a protest ride against helmet laws in upstate New York died after he flipped over the bike’s handlebars and hit his head on the pavement. The accident happened Saturday afternoon in the town of Onondaga, in central New York near Syracuse. State troopers tell The Post-Standard of Syracuse that 55-year-old Philip A. Contos of Parish, N.Y., was driving a 1983 Harley Davidson with a group of bikers who were protesting helmet laws by not wearing helmets. Troopers say Contos hit his brakes and the motorcycle fishtailed. The bike spun out of control, and Contos toppled over the handlebars. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

BENGHAZI, Libya — Turkey’s foreign minister recognized Libya’s rebel leaders as the country’s legitimate representatives and promised them an additional $200 million in aid during a visit Sunday. The visit by Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu marked Turkey’s strongest show of support yet for the opposition forces trying to out Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. Turkey, a regional power, initially balked at the idea of military action in Libya and Turkish companies were involved in Libyan construction projects worth billions of dollars before the outbreak of an anti-Gadhafi uprising in February. The revolt has turned into a protracted, largely deadlocked armed conflict, in which the rebels control Libya’s eastern third, while Gadhafi clings to power in

when Thaksin was toppled in a military coup amid accusations of corruption and a rising popularity that some saw as a threat to the nation’s much-revered monarchy. The coup touched off a schism between the country’s haves and long-silent have-nots — pitting the marginalized rural poor who hailed Thaksin’s populism against an elite establishment bent on defending the status quo that sees him as a corrupt autocrat. Last year’s violent demonstrations by “Red Shirt” protesters — most of them Thaksin backers — and the subsequent crackdown marked the boiling over of those divisions. On Sunday, though, they played out in a vote that will decide the shape of Thailand’s fragile democracy. The Pheu Thai party was led to an overwhelming victory by Thaksin’s 44-yearold sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, a U.S.educated businesswoman hand-picked

the west, but has been unable to crush pockets of resistance there. As a NATO member, Turkey is now supporting the alliance’s airstrikes against targets linked to the Gadhafi regime. Davutoglu met with Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, chairman of the rebels’ National Transitional Council, in a heavily guarded government building in the city of Benghazi, the rebel’s main stronghold in eastern Libya. Later Sunday, a rebel spokesman played down media reports quoting Abdul-Jalil as saying Gadhafi has the option to remain in Libya, provided he resigns and orders a cease-fire. Abdel-Hafiz Ghoga suggested the rebel chief was expressing a personal view. “Let Gadhafi show us one place in Libya where he hasn’t harmed, tortured or killed people and he could stay there, but this place doesn’t exist,” said Ghoga. The Turkish visitor, meanwhile, said

his country recognizes the rebel leaders as the legitimate representatives of the Libyan people. Several other countries, including France, Qatar and Italy, have previously recognized the rebels.

NEW YORK — At first, prosecutors said their sexual assault case against Dominique Strauss-Kahn was growing more formidable by the day. Six weeks later, they said his accuser’s history of lying raised major red flags, but they weren’t dropping the case, at least for now. With the former International Monetary Fund leader freed from house arrest because the case has weakened, prosecutors aren’t saying what their Strauss-Kahn next move may be. Some legal experts say prosecutors will all but have to abandon the case because of the damage to the accuser’s overall credibility, even if they believe Strauss-Kahn attacked the woman, a housekeeper at a New York City hotel where he was staying. Still, at least one former high-level prosecutor thinks the case isn’t doomed. For now, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. is saying only that prosecutors will keep investigating “until we have uncovered all relevant facts. “As a former sex crimes prosecutor myself, I wouldn’t want to try this case,” said Allison Leotta, until recently an assistant U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., where the federal lawyers act as local prosecutors. The hotel maid told authorities that Strauss-Kahn forced her to perform oral sex and tried to pull down her pantyhose after she arrived to clean his suite May 14. Her lawyer, Kenneth Thompson, said Friday that Strauss-Kahn injured her in a violent attack. Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers say anything that happened between the two wasn’t forced. Authorities initially called the 32-year-old woman credible. But prosecutors now say she lied to them about her background — including by fabricating an account of having been gang-raped in her native Guinea — and didn’t tell a grand jury she had gone on cleaning rooms for a time before alerting her supervisor about the attack. She also has fudged on tax forms to keep subsidized housing, they said.

relief from the mandated 30 percent minimum return that had been in place since the lottery’s inception. The lottery had been given the latitude to return a minimum of 27 percent for each of the past three fiscal years. That “temporary” relief ended Thursday, but a bill signed by Gov. Tom Corbett extended the 27 percent minimum through June 20, 2015. The legislation, House Bill 986, was unanimously approved this year by the state House and state Senate. The lottery has to balance its profitability with meeting the demands of its players, said Elizabeth Brassell, spokeswoman for the state’s Department of Revenue, which oversees the lottery. And it must also follow state law that mandates profit margin minimums. When the lottery law passed in 1971, the rate was set at 30 percent. But about a decade ago, as more scratch-off tickets began to be introduced, these games became increasingly popular as the instant-win gratification appealed to more and more people. According to information provided by the Department of Revenue, just 10 years ago, instant games accounted for just 24 percent of sales. In the 2009-2010 fiscal, instant

“We lost probably $30,000 of equipment,” said the son. Flooding from the Susquehanna River used to be the biggest water woe of residents in the lowlying area. But recently the trouble has been coming from the high ground. “I used to have to worry about

Thursday allows the original 30 percent minimums to go back into effect July 1, 2015, she said there’s no reason to believe the profit margins will drop as low as 27 percent over the next four years. In the three years they have been permitted to go that low, she said they’ve yet to drop below 29 percent. State Secretary of Revenue Dan Meuser, a Harveys Lake resident, said that had the Legislature not passed the new extension, seniors would have been the big losers. “Without this (bill), there would be $80 million less in funding (for senior citizen programs this fiscal year),” Meuser said. The lottery will offer more games, with higher prize pools, to attract more players, Meuser said. This will lead to more interest and more players and, if theory becomes fact, more revenue. Mark Ryan, the executive director of the Senate Finance Committee, which held a hearing and voted 11-0 on May 10 to send the bill to the full Senate,

In Luzerne County, according to Department of Revenue-supplied data, $106,645,011 in lottery tickets were sold in fiscal year 2009-10. Of that total, $70,342,382 were sales of instant tickets and $36,302,629 were traditional terminal-based lottery tickets.

games accounted for 57.04 percent of all lottery sales in the state. The prior fiscal year, that percentage was 56.94, according to Brassell. In Luzerne County, the instant-game sales rate is even higher with those kinds of tickets accounting for 67.4 percent of all lottery sales last year. The instant games, however, have much higher payouts than classic terminal-based lottery tickets, ranging from 57 percent of sales for $1 tickets up to more than 70 percent for the $20 tickets. That meant something had to give and the lottery sought legislative assistance. And that led to House Bill 896. The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R-Bellefonte, said the lowering of the profit margin actually winds up bringing in more money for the lottery, and by extension more mon-

ey for programs that benefit senior citizens, since all lottery proceeds are mandated to benefit the state’s elderly. “This bill provides the Pennsylvania Lottery with the flexibility it needs to meet customer demands,” Benninghoff said. “Lowering the rate of return requirement allows the lottery to provide larger prizes for players. This can encourage more people to play the lottery. Similar to a lower tax rate on a larger tax base, a lower rate of return on a larger profit is a win-win situation. It allows the lottery to continue funding programs for older Pennsylvanians while also offering larger prizes to players.” Brassell said that even though the bill Corbett signed into law

Henry Swelgin watched the muddy water flow past the entrance to his automotive garage. “I’m here 50 years and I’ve never seen anything like this,” said Swelgin. He pinned the cause to the mine reclamation project. “That used to take all the water. They filled it up now that water has to go somewhere,” he said.

Suzanne Kruczek of Nanticoke was in one of the five vehicles caught in the flooding. She, her boyfriend, Brian Fullerton, of Nanticoke, and her granddaughter were returning from the Dairy Queen in Kingston when the roadway became impassable. “We have to get out of here,” Kruczek said she told another motorist, and they sought higher ground. “We backed up into a driveway,” she said. She waited for the rain to stop and the running water to slow down before taking her Volvo SUV back onto the roadway. Steve and Bev Williams of Castle Rock, Colo., also had to wait with their dog. Steve Williams said got off Interstate 81 in Berwick and were traveling north on Route 11 en route to the Back Mountain for two weeks to attend his wife’s family reunion. “My wife’s little trip down memory lane is just going to take a little longer,” he said. Rain also flooded a section of the Sans Souci Parkway in Hanover Township, stranding some cars.

said the pitch from the lottery officials made sense. “The basic concept is that by offering higher prizes, the (lottery) will be able to attract more players and sell more tickets. It is forecast that the additional sales will more than offset the lower profit percentage. Groups such as AARP and the Pennsylvania Area Agencies on Aging wrote the committee in support of HB 986.” “The lower profit percentage (higher prize offerings) is intended to lead to higher overall sales,” Ryan added.

Edward Schechter

Monsignor William Donovan

July 2, 2011

2011, in his home with many members of his loving family at his side. He fought a long and courageous battle for more than 40 years against Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSH). Born in New York City, in 1920, Edward was a son of Jacob and Meta Schechter. He grew up in New York and graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School and Dartmouth College. Edward attended the Harvard Business School for two years, leaving shortly before graduation in 1942 to enlist in U.S. Army and fight in World War II. He was trained as an infantry officer with the10th Mountain Division in Colorado and Washington. Edward was deployed to the Pacific Theater, where he served as an intelligence officer in battles throughout the islands of the South Pacific. He was among the first American soldiers to enter Hiroshima following the dropping of the atomic bomb. After seeing the devastation and suffering there, he turned in his weapons and led the rest of his life as a pacifist. Edward attained the rank of Captain and earned both the Silver and Bronze stars. Edward married Betty Jane Goodstein in 1944. Their marriage was a long and loving one, and they celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary in January 2011. With Betty and their three children, Claire, Jay and Ellen, Edward came to Wilkes-Barre in 1953 as president of a start-up company, Stressteel Corporation. For 27 years, he was involved in the manufacturing and marketing of high-strength steel bars used in buildings, bridges, containment structures and foundations. He was a board member and president of the Prestressed Concrete Institute, Chicago, Ill. As director of the Greater WilkesBarre Chamber of Commerce, Edward also served on the boards of the Flood Recovery Task Force, the Boy Scouts, the Luzerne County Transportation Authority, the United Way, the YMCA and the Earth Conservancy. Edward was a board member and chairman of the Pennsylvania

Transportation Advisory Committee, Harrisburg. He was one of four founding members of Leadership WilkesBarre, and a founder and the first executive director of the Committee for Economic Growth.

OUR OPINION: INDEPENDENCE

You’re at liberty to do as you will

F YOU’RE FORTUNATE today, on this Fourth of July, you can find a few minutes between burger bites and fireworks blasts to reflect on your freedoms. You’re free, for instance, to gripe about your mayor, your president, the price of gas, the pace of the nation’s economic recovery, the crime rate in your neighborhood, Oprah’s latest TV enterprise (or latest hairdo), how long it takes to travel from your house to your favorite restaurant due to summer road construction (or several new traffic signals), school taxes, texting drivers, stray pets and infinitely more topics. You also are free to reserve judgment until you know more about an issue. Or to get involved with an advocacy group, political party or civic club that seeks to make changes. Or to simply hold your tongue. You’re free to hop in a car and motor most anywhere you want to go in the United States, from the Mayflower section of Wilkes-Barre to Miami Beach, Fla., from the Pocono Mountains to Washington’s Mount Rainier.

You also are free to emblazon your bicycle with a sticker reading “Environmental stickers don’t mean s*** when they are stuck to CARS!” and pedal on your merry way. Or to walk. You’re free to mouth off to the boisterous fan at the baseball game, the bungling waiter or even the police officer on the beat. You also are free to say something nice. Or to smile and not say anything. You’re free in this nation to assemble, to protest, to petition, to aspire, to inquire, to meddle, to move, to preach, to imagine, to instigate, to compose music, to start a company, to own a home, to get a tattoo, to voice concerns, to vote, to participate, to play and to pray. You also are free to do nothing. On this holiday, we think it is especially appropriate to give thanks to all those “Americans,” from pre-Revolutionary War times to today, who sacrificed and struggled to make it so. You’re free, of course, to disagree.

OTHER OPINION: CAMPAIGN MONEY

Ruling favors rich politicians

HE U.S. SUPREME Court last week issued another in a series of wrongheaded 5-4 decisions further entrenching the power of money in politics. This one undermined publicly financed campaigns, a way for candidates of modest means to run competitive races against well-heeled opponents. In Arizona Free Enterprise Club v. Bennett, the court threw out a key provision of Arizona’s 1998 Citizens Clean Elections Act. The law gives candidates for state office the right to run for office with tax dollars instead of private money. If the candidate’s privately financed opponent bumps up spending, the law allows the publicly financed candidate to get two additional infusions of public money, up to three times the original amount. Sounds like a way to foster more speech, right? No, said the court’s conservative majority. The justices bent themselves into pretzels to rule that the free speech rights of well-heeled candidates are unconstitutionally burdened when they outspend publicly financed candidates and the state makes up some of the difference. Some background: In 1998, Arizona voters – after10 years of scandal – passed the Citizens

Clean Elections Act. Building on an earlier public financing law, it gave a candidate who opted for public funding the right to receive matching funds if his opponent were burying him under private money. Conservative think tanks and business groups and six former or would-be privately funded candidates challenged the law in 2008. The circuit court upheld their challenge, but the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals threw it out. Enter the Supreme Court of Chief Justice John R. Roberts Jr., writing for the same majority that just 18 months ago ruled that corporations can spend direct money on elections, too. Public financing of campaigns, long a dream of reformers, has been tried with minimal success in several states and at the national level with a voluntary checkoff system for presidential elections that most taxpayers ignore. Tax dollars simply can’t compete with private dollars. Absent the sudden replacement of ideology with common sense, the only cure for the perverse influence of money is turnover on the court. Big donors will do everything they can to control that outcome. St. Louis Post-Dispatch

In my opinion, we should feel free to declare ignorance IN A world overrun by half-truths and wall-to-wall opinion, the simple words “I don’t know” might very well become the most valuable phrase in any language. There’s plenty of grousing about the lopsided ratio of opinion to fact in our lives. But what irks me more is that these days it seems everyone is obligated to have a point of view on every issue. News reports about the recent Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas confirmed it. For the third year in a row, the glitzy beauty competition culminated in a flurry of politically charged, controversial questions posited by a panel of B-level celebrities. This year’s winner, Alyssa Campanella, Miss California, had to respond to the question, “Do you believe in legalized marijuana?” She said no, more or less, except for medicinal purposes. The runner-up, poor Miss Tennessee, was asked if the First Amendment protected the burning of the Quran or other religious books in the same way it protects the burning of the flag. After a bit of hemming and hawing, she said, “Absolutely not,” a response that riled up pageant judge and First Amendment absolutist Penn Jillette, who tweeted how happy he was to “help her lose” the crown. But even before the final round, the 51 Miss USA contestants were subjected to a grilling over whether evolution should be taught in public schools. Only two – Miss Massachusetts and Miss California – gave an unequivocal yes; the rest said no or fudged. Do we really need a beauty queen to tell us how to solve our local school curriculum controversies? Maybe so, but only if she’s actually thought it through and can articulate her argument. Just once, instead of

MAIL BAG

GREGORY RODRIGUEZ dishing up happy talk regarding nuclear disarmament, I’d like to see Miss Wherever stand tall on her stilettos and say, “You know what, I’ve honestly never given it a thought and have no clue.” Wouldn’t that be great? In a world where uninformed opinion is ubiquitous, wouldn’t that be a sign of excellent Miss USA-worthy character? We seem to be obsessed with opinions because we take them to be a marker of individual independence, distinctiveness and reasoned intelligence. Expressing opinions is how we also express our freedom of conscience and flex our political rights. But when we’re obliged to have an opinion on everything, all the time, our expressions of conscience are less about independent thinking than about making stuff up. A 1981 study out of the University of Michigan found that roughly 30 percent of survey respondents were willing to offer an opinion on a highly obscure piece of legislation if a “no opinion” option wasn’t available. The researchers concluded that people “who really have no views on the issues under inquiry” often “simply flip mental coins in order to satisfy the interviewer’s expectation.” A similar 1983 study by University of Cincinnati political scientist George Bishop also revealed that roughly 30 percent of people who are polled will give their considered opinion on an entirely fictitious piece of legislation if not explicitly offered a “response alternative” that “allows them to admit they ‘don’t know’ anything about it.’” Bishop concluded that “there is little to

no relationship between an individual’s willingness to admit ignorance and his or her tendency to offer opinions.” Studies such as these have led pollsters to realize that “no answer” isn’t a missing data point (or a sign of a respondent’s moral failure); having no opinion is a perfectly valid position. In fact, a “don’t know” option can increase the accuracy of survey findings. Unfortunately, the culture at large has yet to catch on, and we all seem to be trapped in an opinion rat race. Public opinion polling is a growth industry in the United States, and whether it’s meaningless website “click here” polls or “American Idol,” the public is constantly beseeched for opinions. Almost 2,500 years ago, Socrates was way out ahead on the “no opinion” option. On trial for the equivalent of heresy in Athens, he sparred with a pompous politician over the meaning of wisdom. He won: “I appear to be wiser than he,” Socrates wrote, “because I do not fancy I know what I do not know.” Beauty queens – and everyone else – should take a lesson. Especially in America. We have as much of a right to our ignorance and indifference as we do to speak our minds. We’re free to say “I don’t know.” Gregory Rodriguez is executive director of the Center for Social Cohesion at Arizona State University and a columnist for the Los Angeles Times.

Our flag is the symbol of freedom and democracy in this country, and around the world. It epitomizes what our military personnel defend and rally around. It is sacred and must not be desecrated. Unfortunately, the U.S. Supreme Court in 1989 ruled it is legal, under the First Amendment of our Constitution’s right of

free speech, to desecrate the flag. The U.S. House of Representatives will consider H.J. Res. 13, which prohibits the physical desecration of the flag. A parallel resolution, S.J. Res. 19, will go before the U.S. Senate in coming months. Two-thirds majority votes in the House and Senate are required to put forward a constitutional amendment for ratification by the states. Please contact your state representatives and senators and ask them to support these resolutions. More than 1,200,000 U.S. military personnel have died promoting freedom and democracy in the world, and our flag is the symbol that embodies their sacrifices. We have to rally around the flag.

dresses. “This will be our last formal reunion,” she said. She hopes to continue the tradition by having smaller get-togethers annually, “Dutch Treat.” Although the class’s old high school building is long gone – CVS Pharmacy now sits in its place – the memories are still fresh. State champion basketball team members Billy James and Rich Kiewlak remember how the community used to pack in, and sometimes travel, to see a game. “I remember the priest used to say, ‘I know when you are playing a game on Saturday because there is no one in church on Sunday,” James said. Plodwick, a former cheerleader, said she remembers following Kiewlak up the steps of Holy Trinity church before every game. Kiewlak said he always went to the church before a game to pray for a win. And their prayers were answered with talented and determined players. As a Division A team, Nanticoke’s coach would file them as Division A, B, and C to be able to play against larger schools, James remembers. During the

hanna last year they noticed a change. “We saw a lot going on as far as the industry goes with gas drilling, fracking,” O’Connor said. “The initial idea for the documentary was to create a portrait of a place, and obviously the change fracking brings is a huge part of that. We want to highlight the people we met along the way, how this is affecting them. It puts in question what direction the river is headed in now, where it will be down the road, and how the changes are impacting the river and the local communities.” The reaction from riverside inhabitants they visited has been favorable. “People have come to shore and given us baked goods,” O’Connor said. “They share fresh greens, they give us a place to stay, a place to recharge the batteries for the documentary equipment.” “They’re all so supportive,

After the Nanticoke High School boys basketball team returned as the state championship team in 1961, the community staged a victory parade in their honor that drew more than 20,000 people.

State Championships in 1961, Nanticoke played against Hickory High School and won with a final score of 56-46. James remembered when the team returned to the area from the game and stopped in Berwick. Local businesses give them small treats like small cartons of milk and Tastykakes, James said. Then, in West Nanticoke, they got off the buses and climbed in-

to five or six convertibles for a ride into Nanticoke and to the park. He estimated that around 20,000 people gathered there to celebrate the victory. This milestone in their high school careers did not overshadow daily activities such as getting into trouble for chewing gum in Mr. Chickson’s algebra class. Plodwick shared a memory of having to write 100 times “I

side the parish aware it was happening – means few will remember its passing, or the impact it had for more than a century. “I sang in the choir from age 8,” she recalled. “We had festivals, and I took care of the choir stand. The first year, we made poodles out of toilet paper rolls and hangers.” She laughs at the thought. “We wrapped yarn around it for ears and a tail, and used toilet paper rolls for legs.” She later made dolls with Styrofoam forms, fashioning skirts with feathers. She helped roll dough for pierogies. Her mother helped run the bingo games. The yearly events proved so prosperous that one pastor decided to build permanent booths along two sides of the parking lot where the gatherings were staged. Those booths still stand, an open-air shrine to a community spirit that made so many festivals a success. That community meant so much to Margalis that she retained her membership and activities at St. Mary’s after she and her husband moved over the mountain to Lily Lake in 1987. When Margalis tells a tale, St. Mary’s is inevitably linked by some tangent. The grandfather who helped found the parish migrated from Lithuania and worked in the mines. Fearing an ill fate in that profession, he switched to above-ground quarry work nearby. In 1909, he died in an explosion at the quarry.

Marie Idah Margalis stands before her old church, the former St. Mary’s in Wanamie.

She met her husband after he became a police officer stationed in the township section known as Wanamie, in a building next to a store run by Margalis’ mother. “He used to walk in and buy cigarettes,” Margalis said, another laugh bubbling up. “Our courtship was done over the counter!” They married in St. Mary’s in 1953, but her

husband died last Thanksgiving. “We made it to our 50th anniversary, but not to the 60th,” she said. The memory is fresh; the tears quick. With St. Mary’s closed only months earlier, her husband’s funeral was held in Glen Lyon. “He was born and raised in Glen Lyon, so it wasn’t that bad for him, but for me it was,” she said. Though St. Mary’s was closed, its cemetery is still in use, with ample room. Margalis’ husband was buried there. These are the small reverberations of a church closing: An event anticipated for decades moved to an unexpected locale: a burial at a church cemetery when the church doesn’t exist; a frailty exposed by a subtle change in terrain at the new church. Yet Margalis remains faithful. While “it’s hard to lose your own church,” she accepts that churches needed to close as the population shifted and the number of priests dwindled. What she doesn’t get is the process used to select the churches that closed. “Nobody has been able to explain it to me, not even those who went to the meetings” where the decisions were discussed. “If you could point it out, tell me this one has this, and this is the reason, OK. I could go along with that. I’m an understanding person, but when nobody can tell me why … .” The thought trails off. And, in a way, she will return to St. Mary’s regardless of the closing. She has a burial plot at the church cemetery. “My name’s on the monument,” Margolis aid. “So that’s where I’m going to be.”

State police said Fernando Martinez, 25, of North Wyoming Street, Hazleton, was found sleeping inside an idling vehicle in the parking lot of Lamont’s Service Station on 16th Street at about 2 a.m. Martinez will be charged with driving under the influence, state police said. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $5,000 bail. An extradition hearing is scheduled on Wednesday in county court.

SCHOOL Continued from Page 3A

The location for the school is planned for the Back Mountain, but no definite sites have been determined. DiPippa said that once it was announced that Gate of Heaven School on Machell Avenue in Dallas was going to close in April, he and other founders approached school officials about the idea of buying or leasing the space. “They need their time to settle out,” he said. “That was an option as well as a couple of other buildings in the Back Mountain. When they decided to close, it looked like a great opportunity, but we understand their part as well. When it’s right, it will happen.” The Rev. Daniel Toomey of Gate of Heaven Church said he has not yet “decided a vision” for the former school site’s fate. Funding for Rock Solid Acade-

itself was rich.” Stevens added that in spite of the opportunity for prosperity, the Denison family had to work very hard to enjoy their standard of living. Many times women of the family had to get up before dawn to make bread or tend to the herb garden located in the backyard. Bob Mischak, vice president of the Denison Advocates, said that usually several parcels of land were simultaneously held by a homeowner, with each parcel serving a different purpose. In addition to a homestead, for example, Denison also owned land as a source for wood and “low land” near the river for farming. Denison was a colonel in the Continental Army who surrendered the Wyoming Valley to the British after the Battle of

and they love this river,” Anderson said. “They know it so well, which is an amazing thing to see.” O’Connor said she is used to experiencing the natural side of the river while on it, and the frequent trips ashore have helped her see more about the human history behind it. The watercraft themselves have helped the group compile stories that are part of that history. “Obviously, when you look at the rafts, a sense of Huck Finn comes over you, of that childlike wonder and excitement,” O’Connor said. “People are drawn to the rafts in that sense, and then they start to talk to us about the river and immediately go into their childhood, what their relationship with the river was as kids.” Not only will the documentary focus on the future of the river, but also showcase the waterway for what it is. “It’s majestic,” Anderson said. “The wildlife, the plant life, the scenery. Everything about it is so amazing. People should know just how incredible this river really is.” my is still underway. DiPippa said when the process began last January, organizers had to wait until funds were readily available. An anonymous gift received this April changed the school’s timeline completely. “We don’t have a set amount; we just got the green light to move forward with the project and found the school,” he said. He also said a $1.5 million founding campaign will begin this year in hopes of offsetting the huge cost it will take to get the school off the ground. “We’d like to have some endowed funds as well,” said DiPippa. “We’re learning from some of the schools that have taken on great amount of debt from the start and end up not having enough money start the school … we’re being a little patient.” For more information about Rock Solid Academy, contact DiPippa at 570-498-7777, via e-mail at mdipippa1@gmail.com or visit the school’s website at www.rocksolidacademy.org.

Mischak said the Battle of Wyoming slowed the growth of the area for almost two decades. “However,” Mischak shared, “the good judgment and dependable character of Denison, made him an excellent leader and politician in the area during turbulent times.” Denison did, in fact, dedicate the last years of his life to the community as a Luzerne County judge, with a reputation for fully hearing a matter before rendering judgment. “This is really, really neat,” said a smiling Andrew Guarilia, a student volunteering as a requirement for a history class. “I didn’t even know the Dennison House was here.” The Battle of Wyoming will be commemorated at the Wyoming Monument on Wyoming Avenue in Wyoming at 10 a.m. today. Dennison House is open to the public every Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m.

WIMBLEDON: MEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP

NEW TASTE OF VICTORY

By DAN HICKLING For The Times Leader

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A pair of former big-league hurlers opposed each other Sunday, each hoping to work his way back to the Show. As it was, Pawtucket Red Sox hurler Kevin Millwood (owner of a 157-137 lifetime major league mark) made a somewhat better case for himself than did Greg Smith (8-18) of the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees. Millwood, who made a brief stopover in April with the Yanks, struck out six while scattering six hits and three walks over seven innings to help send Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to a 9-3 defeat before 10,220 at McCoy Stadium. “The biggest thing,” said Millwood (5-1), who struggled to a 4-16 mark with the Baltimore Orioles, last year, “is just getting my pitch count up. And then it was getting the mechanics ironed out. Then locating the baseball. I feel like I’ve done all those. Now it’s just a matter of seeing what happens.” The Yankees appeared ready to jump on Millwood early, as they staked Smith (2-2) to leads of 1-0 and 2-1. But Smith, who served up 12 hits and seven runs throughout his six innings, couldn’t hang on to either of them. After the teams had swapped first inSee YANKEES, Page 5B

Novak Djokovic lifts the trophy after defeating Rafael Nadal in the men’s singles final on Sunday. He celebrated the victory by eating some of the grass at the All England Club.

Djokovic finally wins on grass, powers past Nadal in four sets By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — Until Sunday, Novak Djokovic never managed to win a grass-court tournament of any sort, let alone Wimbledon. Until Sunday, Djokovic never was able to beat Rafael Nadal in a Grand Slam match, let alone a final. Until this marvelous — and nearly perfect — year, Djokovic was very good. Now he’s great. After outrunning, outswinging and, for stretches, dominating defending champion Nadal, winning 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 for his first title at the All England Club and third major championship overall, Djokovic crouched on

Center Court, reached down, plucked some blades of grass and shoved them in his mouth. “I felt like an animal. I wanted to see how it tastes. It tastes good,” Djokovic said later, his eyes wide and his smile contagious. “It came spontaneously, really. I didn’t plan to do it. I didn’t know what to do for my excitement and joy.” Putting together one of the best seasons by any athlete in any sport in recent memory, Djokovic is 48-1 with eight titles in 2011, including major trophies from the Australian See WIMBLEDON, Page 5B

JOHN A. ALLAN TOURNAMENT

Championship remains unsettled Rain caused the final round to be postponed with two teams still tied in an 18-hole playoff. By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

EXETER — Fierce rain and wet greens postponed the final round of the 65th annual John A. Allan Tournament on Sunday at Fox Hill Country Club. After the teams of Don Crossin-Bill Briggs and John Mulhern-

Len Coleman couldn’t settle the final round of the championship flight after 21 holes on June 26, an 18-hole playoff was rained out after the sixth hole. Once again, Crossin-Briggs and Mulhern-Coleman remain tied at two-under. The Allan Tournament will resume for day No. 5 at 12:30 p.m. today from the seventh tee at Fox Hill. On June 26, both teams finished at 14-under par in the better-ball stroke play format. After

three playoff holes, neither team converted on its potential matchwinning putts and the match was called due to darkness. Crossin and Briggs lost on the third playoff hole of last year’s championship event, falling to the duo of Brian Corbett and Bob Gill. Sunday morning’s rain peppered Fox Hill’s fairways with puddles and forced the start of FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER the playoff round to be pushed back an hour from its original tee John Mulhern putts on the second green on Sunday.

OPINION

A couple lockouts we need

THE NFL LOCKOUT has been going on for months, and the NBA lockout could drag on even longer. The word lockout itself is becoming an unwelcome addition to bar room debates across the country. But maybe lockouts aren’t such a bad idea after all. Imagine what would happen if we locked out some of these sports figures: BUBBA WATSON: Take away this guy’s passport before he gives new meaning to the term Ugly American. Watson’s grand adventure in France last week began with him wondering out loud what the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre were, then somehow got worse. The golfer complained about everything but the food after missing the cut in the French Open, and said it might be his last time playing in Europe. Watson later reconsidered after being told the British Open — one of golf’s four majors — was in England. DEREK JETER: I understand the need to instinctively bow to the greatness that is Derek Jeter, but even he should be embarrassed to be starting at shortstop for the American League in the All-Star game. Hold a parade for him if you want when he reaches 3,000 hits, but save the starting job for someone really having an AllStar season, like Jhonny Peralta of the Tigers or Asdrubal Cabrera of the Indians. GRUNTING WOMEN: Wimbledon is usually such a civilized place, with the queen dropping by occasionally and everyone slurping down strawberries and cream. Then the women take the court, and it starts sounding like some deranged animals have escaped from the London Zoo. The beginning of the great grunting craze is generally credited to Monica Seles, but players like Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka have elevated it to new decibel levels. Things got so bad that the BBC introduced a noise-reduction tool online this year to tone down the primeval sounds. DAVID HAYE: A lot of people thought Haye would bring excitement back to boxing’s heavyweight division. A lot of people were wrong. Haye pulled off one of the biggest frauds in boxing by hyping himself as the next great heavyweight champion to get a lucrative fight against Wladimir Klitschko, only to forget to fight once he got there. If that wasn’t embarrassing enough, Haye blamed it all on a broken toe, leading to a bizarre scene at the news conference afterward when he took off his shoes and stood on a table for all to see. NIKE: Michael Vick, signed to a new endorsement contract. Enough said. HOT DOGS: Here’s a lockout that needs to end. Six-time champion Takeru Kobayashi remains banned from the Coney Island Fourth of July hot dog eating contest because he refuses to sign a contract with Major League Eating. Without Kobayashi, big eating Joey “Jaws” Chesnut is favored to win a fifth straight championship, but surely eating aficionados everywhere would have relished the thought of more mustard flying between these two icons. SCOREBOARD OPERATORS: They can figure out time left to the tenth of a second in the NBA, and overturn a call

Back Mountain prevails in 7th The Times Leader staff

In a game played Saturday, Marc Noyalis singled home the winning run in the bottom of the seventh inning in Back Mountain’s come-from-behind 3-2 victory against Plains. Noyalis, who struck out four in four scoreless innings in relief for the win, helped his own cause by going 2-for-3 at the plate along with his walk-off RBI. His teammates Deep Patel and Eric Ringsdorf both went a perfect 2-for-2, respectively. Dominick Gulius had two of Plains’ four hits on the day, including a double. Plains

Gearing up again for Giants Despair

Race organizer Darryl Danko hopes to break his 2008 course record this weekend.

The Times Leader staff

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced the signing of veteran AHL defenseman Boris Valabik to a one-year contract on Sunday. At 6-foot-7 and 245 pounds, Valabik will become one of the biggest players to ever lace up the skates for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, where he figures to spend most of the season. Valabik, 25, signed a two-way deal worth $550,000 at the NHL level and will compete in training camp for one of the final spots on Pittsburgh’s blue line, which already has seven defensemen signed to one-way contracts. The Slovakia native has played 184 AHL games for Chicago and Providence, totaling 31 points (four goals, 27 assists) while being best known for dropping the gloves, racking up 633 penalty minutes. A former first-round draft pick of the Atlanta Thrashers (10th overall, 2004), Valabik was a regular on the Wolves squad that defeated the Penguins in the 2008 Calder Cup final. At the NHL level, Valabik appeared in 80 games for the Thrashers, collecting seven assists and 210 penalty minutes. He was traded to Boston in February and did not receive a qualifying offer from the Bruins this summer, making him an unrestricted free agent. Valabik joins winger Colin McDonald as the Penguins’ second signing to bolster the WilkesBarre/Scranton roster since the free agency period opened Friday. McDonald led the AHL with 42 goals in the 2010-11 season.

Phelps coasts to 100 butterfly victory during Canada Cup The Associated Press

MONTREAL — Michael Phelps stole the show again on Sunday, handily winning the 100-meter butterfly at the Canada Cup. He didn’t come close to beating his own world record, but he led from wire to wire and won in 51.32 seconds. Phelps won his only other

event at the Olympic Pool, the 200-meter freestyle, on Saturday, though he knows he has room for improvement at that distance. “I’m really happy with that and I know I need to do more training,” said Phelps, who turned 26 on Thursday. “It’s races like these that I think help me more mentally than any-

thing else. “Being able to still see that I can pop a good race here and there gives me a little bit of a confidence.” The three-day meet was billed as a tuneup for the World Aquatic Championships beginning July 16 in Shanghai, which itself is a test leading into the 2012 Olympics in London.

LAUREL RUN — No more than a quarter of a mile past the finish line for the Giants Despair Hillclimb in Laurel Run resides Darryl Danko, a man who has helped run Pennsylvania’s oldest continuing motorsport event for almost a decade. Within the very same residence awaits the very same Darryl Danko, a five-time winner of the hillclimb who will be competing in the race for the 14th time . Danko and a legion of drivers from all along the East Coast will make their way to East Northhampton Street this Saturday and Sunday for the 105th running of the Giants Despair Hillclimb sponsored by the Sports Car Club of America. Drivers ranging from as far as New Hampshire to Georgia have registered this year. The Danko who runs the event and the one who competes in it are indeed the same person, but he said being in two places at once can be quite a difficult task. “It’s a love-hate thing all day long as far as getting workers lunch or dealing with problems big or small,” he said. “It makes it difficult to compete. The driving

almost comes second.” Drivers will race 650 feet up the incline that rises more than 20 percent and features six turns, the most challenging being the 110-degree hairpin bend known as “Devil’s Elbow.” While both jobs call for a handful of responsibilities, Danko said the race itself makes it all worth it. “It’s a rush like no other,” said Danko, whose record-breaking run of 38.360 seconds in 2008 still stands. He accomplished the feat with his Lola TB900 Special 3, a car just like those competing in the IndyCar Series. Danko recalled watching races up Giants Despair for as long as he can remember. “We’ve watched it since I was able to walk,” he said. “None of the other events mean as much (to me) as this one.” Last year, Danko could do nothing but watch George Bowland, of Mill Spring, N.C., win the race with a time of 40.917. Danko could not compete with his Indy car due to patchwork road conditions. He used his backup car, a 1973 Gurney Eagle, to post a second-best time of 41.152. But the road has recently been paved and it has Danko ecstatic, raising his hopes to crush his record-breaking time. “With the new pavement it looks way smooth. It’s probably the best I’ve ever seen it,” Danko said. “My goal is 36 seconds.”

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

Brazil star Marta lifts team into quarterfinal By RAF CASERT AP Sports Writer

AUGSBURG, Germany — Marta made the World Cup tournament her own for a day, scoring two goals and assisting on another to lead Brazil into the quarterfinals with a 3-0 win over Norway on Sunday. The biggest star of the women’s game brought samba heat to the rain-swept, 55-degree Wolfsburg stadium with stunning moves, speed, vision, finishing and even some rough play. The win puts the Brazilians alongside the United States as the biggest favorites for the title based on their play in the first week of competition. “Thank God, Marta is Brazilian,” coach Kleiton Lima said. Brazil’s performance took attention away from a huge refereeing blunder in the other Group D game, during which Equatorial Guinea defender Bruna carried the ball in her hands for a couple of seconds in front of her own goal without being penalized. It didn’t hurt Australia, which beat the African rookies 3-2 to maintain its shot at joining Brazil in the next round. No one seems a match for Brazil in the group, and Marta wants to finally give her nation the biggest cup of all. While the men’s team has won

five, the women have done no better than finishing as runnersup. They are big favorites now to top Group D, an added incentive for the United States to beat or tie with Sweden on Wednesday and avoid having to play Brazil in the quarters. Marta, the five-time FIFA player of the year, showed off every side of her personality, even the tough part. She opened Sunday’s onewoman show by shoving Norwegian defender Nora Holstad Berge in the back, but followed with a series of sidesteps that would make even Cristiano Ronaldo proud. Once another defender was down from the blur of moves, she showed how unforgiving she was with a wicked drive inside. “We had to use our bodies, me and my opponent,” she said of the initial challenge. “I think she stumbled. I would have to see it again.” After a sullen performance in Brazil’s opener, she was inspired Sunday. And her teammates showed enough poise and determination to show that Brazil should be counted on right up to the final weekend. “We would love to be champions,” Marta said.

TOUR DE FRANCE

Garmin-Cervelo shines in Stage 2 team trial By JAMEY KEATEN The Associated Press

LES ESSARTS, France — He’s a 30-something American, a retired former rider and crowned with success at the Tour de France. And Jonathan Vaughters is also a leading anti-doping crusader in cycling. Sunday afternoon, GarminCervelo riders hoisted Vaughters, their manager, in the air in glory after the nine-man squad won the Tour’s team time trial in Stage 2, a flat 14 miles in and around Les Essarts in western France. Competing in its fourth Tour, Garmin-Cervelo was popping the

champagne after its firstever stage win at cycling’s greatest race. For Vaughters, the victory was especially sweet because Thor Hushovd of Norway — a Garmin-Cervelo rider and former teammate years ago — took the yellow jersey off Philippe Gilbert, a Belgian who won the first stage. “This is an extraordinary dream, I’m very proud, I’m very happy to take the jersey — and that the team won the stage,” said Hushovd, who won the team time trial at the 2001 Tour with

Vaughters when both rode for now-defunct French squad Credit Agricole. “This is a great day, we did a really good team effort, everything worked perfectly.” The Norwegian leads teammate David Millar in second, with the same time. Cadel Evans of Australia is third, 1 second back. Vaughters calls Garmin-Cervelo “an anti-doping team. We are not an anti-ex-doper team,” pointing to Millar, who served a two-year doping ban. The 38-year-old and former teammate of seven-time Tour champion Lance Armstrong is one of the most vocal opponents

of doping in cycling and has sought to build a clean team. He said the sport has made some important strides to rid drug cheats from the peloton, but the work is still far from complete. Some in cycling, Vaughters said, think “’if I talk about it, it’s just going to be in the newspaper more, then it’s going to give the public the idea that everyone is doing it’ — which in my opinion, is the exact opposite of what is true.” But when asked if he had been involved in doping himself, Vaughters declined to answer. “A lot of the energy and the passion I have now that I put into an-

Detroit catcher Alex Avila also rallied late to earn starting spots. Toronto outfielder Jose Bautista, the reigning home run champion, drew a record 7.4 million votes. He became the first Blue Jays player elected to start since Carlos Delgado in 2003. Bautista homered Saturday off Halladay, then hit his major league-leading 27th homer Sunday against Philadelphia’s Cliff Lee. “People are recognizing that you’re doing well and for me it’s been in three different territories — the United States and Canada and the Dominican,” Bautista said. “I can’t even describe how good that feels.” The AL starting lineup: Adrian Gonzalez at first base, Robinson Cano at second, Jeter at shortstop, Alex Rodriguez at third base, with Bautista, Josh Hamilton and Curtis Granderson in the outfield, Avila behind the plate and Ortiz at designated hitter. The NL starters: Fielder at first, Weeks at second, Reyes at short, Placido Polanco at third, with Braun, Kemp and Lance Berkman in the outfielder and Brian McCann catching. San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy will choose the DH. Fans can vote on MLB.com through Thursday for the 34th player on each side. Injuries are sure to impact the final rosters, too — three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols was left off while recovering from a broken left wrist and Reyes is nursing a hamstring problem. Once again, the league that wins will get home-field advantage in the World Series. Led by McCann, the NL won last year for the first time since 1996. Phillies aces Cole Hamels, Halladay and Lee were part of the 13-man NL staff, showing why Philadelphia has the best record in the majors. The World Series champion San Francisco Giants put four pitchers on the squad: Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, Brian Wilson and Ryan Vogelsong. Vogelsong will certainly be among the feel-good stories in Arizona. At 33, he’d spent the previous four years in Japan and the minors before getting called up early this season. Jeter, a 12-time All-Star set to come off the disabled list Monday, will be among six New York Yankees heading to the desert. Also going are 14-time All-Star Rodriguez, Cano, Granderson, closer Mariano Rivera and backup catcher Russell Martin. The 37-year-old Jeter always seems to be a lightning rod when it comes to awards and honors, ratcheting up the debate of popularity vs. production. He’s in the midst of another down year and has been hurt — Cleveland shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera is having a breakout season and made the AL team as a backup, deserving Jhonny Peralta of Detroit was left off. The Yankees own the best record in the AL, although two of

their stars were among the notable omissions: CC Sabathia, tied for the major league high in wins, and first baseman Mark Teixeira, among the leaders in homers and RBIs. The rival Red Sox put four players on the team: Gonzalez, Ortiz, pitcher Josh Beckett and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury. “Seems like the Yankees always take care of all the All-Star voting every year, so it’s just disappointing to not see more Red Sox on that team,” Boston ace Jon Lester said. Texas manager Ron Washington will guide the AL team. Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson made the club over Sabathia. “There wasn’t a whole lot of choices on left-handed relievers and C.J. has the experience of doing that,” Washington said. “He’s deserving, as far as I’m concerned, to be on the All-Star team, so I chose him.” This year’s squad includes 13 first-time All-Stars in the AL and 11 in the NL. Among them will be closer Joel Hanrahan, Pittsburgh’s lone representative. Hanrahan said he won’t mind changing his All-Star break vacation plans. “I think it will be a lot more fun than going to a furniture shop. They say it takes three months to get a couch — wanted to see one and get it on order,” he said. On the ballot for the extra AL player are outfielders Alex Gordon of Kansas City and Adam Jones of Baltimore, White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko, Detroit DH Victor Martinez and Tampa Bay second baseman Ben Zobrist. Candidates for the final NL spot are outfielders Andre Ethier of the Dodgers, Mike Morse of the Nationals and Shane Victorino of the Phillies, first baseman Todd Helton of Colorado and pitcher Ian Kennedy of the Diamondbacks. the university paid $25,000 to become the first client of a Texas scouting service run by a man who was a mentor to a top running back recruit who, coincidentally, signed just before the payment was made. LANCE ARMSTRONG: Actually, he’s already locked out of the Tour de France, the only bike race most Americans care about. That leaves us free this year to enjoy watching one rider we’ve never heard of who swears he’s not doping chase another rider we’ve never heard of who swears he’s not doping through the French countryside. Somehow, I don’t think Bubba Watson will be tuning in. And, finally, maybe it’s time to lock out Mr. Lockout. David Stern has now presided over two lockouts at the behest of owners who pay him millions to make them even more millions. If this one costs the league a full season as some fear, then it should cost Stern his legacy as the commissioner who rescued the NBA.

by the length of a fingernail in the NFL. Yet the scoreboard operator in Seattle has trouble counting to four. The Mariners lost a game Saturday when San Diego’s Cameron Maybin drew a walk on what was really only the third ball and came around to score. Which begs a question: Don’t umpires use clickers anymore? TIGER WOODS: Take away his parking spot at the British Open. Ban him from the champion’s locker room at the PGA Championship. Last seen Sunday with new facial hair and without his clubs at the tournament his foundation sponsors outside of Philadelphia, it’s time for Woods to admit the obvious and give up on yet another lost season. Besides, after what Rory McIlroy did in the U.S. Open, who needs him anyway? CHIP KELLY: The Oregon football coach should be locked out of his office if he doesn’t Tim Dahlberg is a national sports come forward and explain why columnist for The Associated Press.

ning runs, Jordan Parraz led off the second with a solo shot off Millwood that dropped over the fence in left-center. Millwood allowed just three hits the rest of the way. “He kept us off balance,” Yankees manager Dave Miley said. “He made some pitches when he had to. That’s what he did in that short period he was with us. He knows how to pitch.” Pawtucket, meanwhile, tied the contest 2-2 in the bottom of the second before jumping ahead 4-2 in the third on a two-run blast by Lars Anderson.

Open and Wimbledon. On Monday, he will rise from No. 2 to No. 1 in the ATP rankings, overtaking Nadal, a switch that was guaranteed by virtue of Djokovic’s victory in the semifinals Friday. “I want to win more Grand Slams,” said Djokovic, the first man since Andre Agassi in 1992 to win his first grass title at Wimbledon. “I will not definitely stop here, even though I have achieved (the) two biggest things in my life in three days.” Which, perhaps, is why he engaged in such a lengthy and original celebration, even tossing several rackets into the stands, the sort of crowd-pleasing gesture for which Djokovic (it’s pronounced JOE-ko-vich) long has been known. Indeed, early in his career, Djokovic stood out less for his shotmaking than for his showmanship — check out his spot-on impersonations of other pros, including Nadal, on YouTube — and a hard-to-explain propensity for losing, or even quitting during, late-round matches at majors. Right now, though, the 24year-old from Serbia is the total package, with the bona fides to prove it. He credits a handful of factors

finisher from the top five who wasn’t already exempt. Rickie Fowler, who shared the lead with Watney going into the final round, had another learning experience. He fell out of the hunt early with a double bogey on the second hole and closed with a 74 to tie for 13th. Montreal Championship BLAINVILLE, Quebec — John Cook won the Montreal Championship for his third Champions Tour title of the year, closing with a 6-under 66 for a tournament-record 21under 195 total. Cook, the runner-up last year at Fontainebleau Golf Club, beat Taiwan’s Lu Chien-soon (70) by three strokes. Joey Sindelar (68) was third at 17 under, and Bill Glasson (64), Corey Pavin (67) and Dan Forsman (68) were another stroke back. Canadian Rod Spittle broke the course record with a 62 to finish at 15 under. French Open SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — France’s Thomas Levet won the French Open, closing with a 1-under 70 in windy conditions for a onestroke victory over Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen and England’s Mark Foster. Levet finished at 7-under 277 for his sixth European Tour title.

the bottom of the eighth, when PawSox shortstop Jose Iglesias was beaned by reliever Andrew Brackman. Iglesias, one of the top prospects in the Red Sox chain, had to be helped from the field, and was later taken to a nearby hospital for tests. His condition was not immediately known. • The Yankee rotation will be bolstered by the return of RHP Ivan Nova, who was optioned out by New York after racking up a fine 8-4 mark. Nova, who spent most of the past two seasons in Moosic, was sent down to make room for RHP Phil Hughes, who is set to come off the disabled list. • Tonight the Yanks will begin a seven-day, eight-game homeNOTES stand leading into the All-Star • A scary moment occurred in break, with Lehigh Valley in for

the later stages of a Grand Slam — meaning last four, last eight — and then you have to meet them. They always come up with their best tennis when it matters the most. ... I always believed that I have (enough) quality to beat those two guys.” Djokovic was 0-5 against Nadal at Grand Slam tournaments entering Sunday — including retirements from a 2006 French Open quarterfinal and 2007 Wimbledon semifinal. A more significant head-tohead record, though, is one both men acknowledged played a role Sunday: Remarkably, Djokovic is 5-0 against Nadal this year, all in tournament finals, two on hard courts, two on clay courts, and now one on grass. “When one player beat you five times, (it’s) because today my game don’t bother him a lot,” Nadal said after his 20-match Wimbledon winning streak ended. “Probably, the mental part is little bit dangerous for me.” As Djokovic reveled in his newfound status as Wimbledon winner, Nadal was left to contemplate his first loss to someone other than Federer in a Grand Slam final.

During this tournament, Djokovic recalled watching Wimbledon two decades ago as a kid in war-torn Serbia and thinking that he’d love to play tennis. On Sunday, there he was, on the most famous court in the world, with Serbian President Boris Tadic up in the Royal Box. Djokovic already was the first man from Serbia to win any Grand Slam title. Now he’s the first to win Wimbledon and the first to earn the No. 1 ranking, and he’ll be feted at a downtown square in Belgrade on Monday. Whatever Djokovic had to overcome — a lack of self-belief and fitness issues, among them — the biggest obstacles might very well have been a couple of guys named Federer and Nadal. “It’s very hard for four years to be No. 3, you know? You cannot (make this) step, this one step to move on. Now he did it, so this is the most important thing,” Djokovic’s mother, Dijana, said Sunday evening. When a reporter began a question by saying, “For years, it’s been Rafa, Roger, Rafa, Roger,” Mom interrupted to clarify: “Yeah, now it’s Novak, Novak, Novak.”

drought that lasted 91 at-bats. “When Smitty leaves the ball over the plate,” said Miley, “he’s going to get hit. That’s what happened tonight.” The Pawtucket margin grew to 7-2 before Terry Tiffee homered with no one on in the sixth. But that was as good as it would get for the Yankees. Millwood, who made just two appearances for the Yanks in April, was granted his release, then signed a minor league deal with the Sox on May 15. “I had a good time while I was there,” he said. “I threw the ball well. The only thing was there wasn’t really any opportunity, there. So it didn’t make a lot of sense (to stay).”

with helping him truly excel recently: more maturity; confidence from helping Serbia win its first Davis Cup title in December; and a gluten-free diet he doesn’t like to discuss in any detail. Djokovic’s only loss all season came against 16-time major champion Roger Federer in the French Open semifinals a month ago, Djokovic’s seventh exit from a Grand Slam tournament in the final four. For so many years, Federer and Nadal ruled tennis. One or the other was No. 1 every week since February 2004. One or the other won 22 of the last 26 Grand Slam tournaments, including Nadal’s 10 titles. But now Djokovic owns three of the other four trophies in that span — 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro has the other — and finally elbowed his way past that pair in the rankings. “We all know the careers of Nadal and Federer. ... They have been the two most dominant players in the world the last five years. They have won most of the majors,” Djokovic said. “So sometimes it did feel a little bit frustrating when you kind of get to

GOLF COURSE

NEWTOWN SQUARE — Nick Watney capped off an amazing weekend at Aronimink to win the AT&T National on Sunday, moving him to No. 10 in the world and atop the PGA Tour money list for the first time in his career. Watney followed his 8-under 62 on Saturday with a 66 on a steamy afternoon in the Philadelphia suburbs, making three big par saves and three birdies on the front nine to seize control, then holding off a late charge by K.J. Choi (67) for a two-shot victory. And to think that with only 27 holes left in the tournament, Watney was trying to keep from getting left behind. Ten birdies, an eagle and no bogeys later, he was posing with the silver trophy of a Liberty Bell and wondering how much better he could get. Watney finished on 13-under 267, tying the tournament record by Tiger Woods in 2009 when it was played at Congressional. The tournament is scheduled to return to Congressional next year. Charles Howell III earned quite a consolation prize. He played bogey-free in the final round for a 6-under 66 to tie for third with Adam Scott (68) and Jeff Overton (67). That made Scott eligible for the British Open in two weeks as the top

So far, the holiday weekend has been a split weather-wise. Independence Day will be the tiebreaker, and give us some fantastic summer weather! A cold front has passed through the region, and was responsible for nearly two inches of rain in some storms yesterday. Today, the only ďŹ&#x201A;y in the ointment will be passing clouds. The dry conditions will continue into midweek, with partly to mostly sunny skies. Temperatures will remain in the 80s for afternoon highs, which, of course, is typical this time of year. The next chance of rain appears to be on Thursday, when another cold front approaches the region. -Ryan Coyle

Single woman is perplexed by sympathy she gets from other people Dear Abby: I am a divorcee and happy with my life. I’m healthy, have a great job, wonderful grown children, many good friends and several hobbies I enjoy. I’m busy and every day is full. My issue is the way some people treat the fact that I’m “solo.” When they see me, they ask whether I have a man in my life yet, and when I say I don’t, they look downcast and offer me their sympathy. Please tell your readers that for a woman to be solo isn’t a tragedy. Certainly, I hope one day to meet someone wonderful to share my life with, but until then I’m happy to be on my own. I’m doing great and I don’t like

DEAR ABBY ADVICE people treating me as if my being single is some sort of failure. — Party of One in Wisconsin Dear Party Of One: If I had to wager, I would bet the people you’ve described are older. For people in their generation there was social and economic pressure to couple up and be married. With more women completing their education and earning enough to live well on their own, there is less of that pressure today. I’m passing your message along, but try to remember that the folks you’re encountering mean well —

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

even if their way of expressing it is outdated and clumsy. Dear Abby: A new church member joined our group. She’s the nicest, most generous, genuinely kind person, and she is loved and appreciated by all. The problem is, she reeks with an awful body odor. She breeds dogs, and the smell is ingrained in her clothing, hair, car, etc. She always volunteers to work in the kitchen, and yesterday she did — in spite of my having politely told her we had enough volunteers. Many of the people didn’t want what she touched, including me. How should we approach telling her about her body odor without offending or hurting her? — Confused Christian in Detroit

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Confused Christian: The woman’s strong body odor may be because of poor hygiene or her profession, but it could also be a symptom of illness. Someone should talk to her about it. The person I’m nominating for that job would be your minister. Dear Abby: I have been dating a man I’ll call Eugene for many years. We have both been married before and we both have children. We’re engaged, but if I marry him, I know I will never be No. 1 in his life. His children and family will come first. I don’t know what his former wife did to him, but shouldn’t your spouse rank somewhere at the top? His children have no connection with me at all. This doesn’t bother Eugene. It bothers me greatly. Can these types

of issues be worked out? — Friend Without Benefits Dear Friend: Yes, if you and Eugene are willing to admit there are issues and are willing to get counseling. While Eugene’s children might always come first, if you are going to have a successful marriage you should rank right up there with them. While you may never have an emotional tie with his children, you deserve to be treated with the same kindness and respect that you give them. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Safe topics include your location, the weather and current events, especially sports, art and entertainment. Stick to those, and you’ll make and keep friends. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are too many aspects to your personality to say that you are one person. You are many people, and there are many more you could be. A new, better and more joyful part of your personality will take the reins today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You get the feeling that the stakes have been raised, and you respond by asking more of yourself. You call on yourself to get involved and to invest great emotion in all you do. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Moods are as temporary as clouds. They can lift, drift and descend like fog. Savor the sweet emotional weather, and when things turn gray, realize that it will soon pass. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The reason your plans come together so nicely is that you rule with genuine caring and kindness. Others sense that you’re on their side and that you want only the best for them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have so much going for you now, including your great sense of humor. Just look at who’s laughing at your jokes. You’ll find the response so flattering. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll explore and learn. No matter how much knowledge you attain, it only makes you wonder more. There’s always another “aha” moment in your future.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Just as you wouldn’t eat every meal at a doughnut shop, you have a way of pacing life’s other treats so that you can best enjoy them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you do something nice for people, they don’t always respond right away, and that is perplexing to you. It does drive home the point that it’s best to choose an action that is its own reward. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Fear is the enemy. It wants to get in your way today, but don’t let it. The opportunities that are presented are rare and must be seized. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Anger does have a positive side. It’s an affirmation of your emotional involvement. You get angry only because you care so much. The positive side of anger will be rewarding. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are acting in the service of your love. That doesn’t automatically guarantee that you will make the choice that best suits the other person’s needs or wants, but it does give you the best odds for a successful relationship. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 4). You will listen to your muses and let inspiration flow through you. You’ll do good in the world, and you’ll do it in a way that no one else can. Through July and August, you are preparing to win. The work will not seem difficult, but it will require daily practice. November brings travel. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 46, 42, 36 and 21.
