Devastation astounds some Plymouth residents By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

PLYMOUTH – Tom Serbin and his family walked down what is left of Coal Street on Monday and assessed the damage. The Serbins live in the last house on Coal Street in Plymouth. The only street they can use to get to work and to access medical help is gone. Ravaging waters that rolled down the mountain and into Coal Street

Creek on Sunday evening left behind a trail of devastation that will take months and perhaps millions to fix. “We really don’t know how long we’re going to be like this,” Serbin said. “Our yard -- well, most of it -- is gone and we don’t have any power.” Serbin’s wife, Sharla, is a diabetic and needs insulin, which must be refrigerated.

rain caused the Coal Street Creek to overflow its banks, bringing a river of mud, rocks and other debris down the road, ripping up sidewalks and the pavement, damaging houses and cars and leaving Plymouth in a state of emergency. “I have never seen rain that hard and that constant,” said Mazur, a borough resident for 69 years. He said the only thing he could compare Sunday’s scene to was similar flooding caused by heavy rains in 1947.

Career criminal was killed by SWAT team members after six-hour standoff. By MARYCLAIRE DALE Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — A career criminal suspected of shooting five people, two of them fatally, inside a suburban home over an alleged insurance-fraud scheme was killed by SWAT team members after a six-hour standoff Monday, authorities said. Since leaving prison last year, Mark Richard Geisenheyner, 51, had been vowing revenge on Paul Shay, one of the victims of a weekend shooting in rural Montgomery County, authorities said. Geisenheyner broke into Shay’s vacation home late Saturday and said, “Guess you never thought you’d see me again,” before shooting Shay in the head, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman said Monday, citing a survivor’s account. He then shot four others, killing Shay’s nephew and a toddler, authorities said. Shay, his wife and the toddler’s mother remained in critical condition Monday. Geisenheyner told friends he had taken the rap and been cut out of the profits for an insurance scam he and Shay had concocted, Ferman said. Geisenheyner was arrested for possessing artwork that had been reported stolen from Shay’s home in 2006, and was sent back to prison on a parole violation, she said. Shay was not apparently charged, and Ferman did not know if there was any truth to Geisenheyner’s account. Shay filed an insurance claim on the painting, which went missing about a month after a fire at his home. The shootings Saturday in Douglass Township, about 30 miles northwest of Philadelphia, killed Shay’s 43-year-old nephew Joseph Shay, of Yarmouth, Mass., and New York City, and 2year-old Gregory Erdmann, of Fall River, Mass. On Sunday, hours after the rampage, Geisenheyner went to the home of a prison buddy and talked for several hours about the slayings, offering details not known to the public, officials said. When he fell asleep, the friend and a companion sneaked out, calling police just before 5 a.m. Monday. Police and SWAT teams surrounded the home in Trainer, about 15 miles southwest of Philadelphia, and contacted the armed suspect by cellphone. At about 11:30 a.m., police entered the home, found Geisenheyner in the basement and shot him. He had a gun with him, but it was not clear if it had been fired, Delaware County District Attorney G. Michael Green said. “He was determined not to surrender, not to end up in a prison again,” Green told The Associated Press. “He obviously indicated that he intended to seek revenge against the one victim. There’s no explanation that I’m aware of as to why he would have shot at and killed multiple victims, including a 2-year-old child.”

People gather on the lawn at the third annual Olde Tyme Family Lawn Party at West Side Career and Technology Center in Pringle to watch the fireworks from Kirby Park.

Eyeing funds and sky Lawn party a chance to aid W.S. Tech, see fireworks

By SUSAN DENNEY Times Leader Correspondent

PRINGLE -- The third annual Olde Tyme Family Lawn Party at West Side Career and Technology Center provided a stunning view Monday of the Fourth of July fireworks all over the Wyoming Valley. Lorri Vandermark, director of admissions at the West Side Career and Technical Center, said the fair was conceived because of the view. “From here, you can see every fireworks show in the valley,” she said. “When we formed the PTSA (Parent-Teacher-Student Association), we thought we would plan a family event.” She said that although fundraising was a goal, the lawn party was also intended to reach out to the community. “Some people around here have never been to the school. If the people who come ask about classes, that’s a bonus,” Vandermark said. The fair featured food and merchandise vendors, face

painting, a basket raffle, a rummage sale and music provided by a DJ. This year the rummage sale was a new feature. “We had 400 to 500 people last year and most arrived at 8 o’clock. We added the rummage sale from 6 to 8 to help us get people here earlier,” Vandermark said. Mark Davis, 17, of Forty Fort, was one of the many West Side CTC students who volunteered during the event. He is a law enforcement student at the school. The law enforcement students were there to organize parking and to ensure crowd control. “It’s a good school. I’ve learned a lot,” he said of the school. Katherine Dyanick and William Cassels, both of Pringle, were there early and had great seats staked out at the top of the hill in front of the school. Dyanick is a graduate of the school and reminisced about playing softball at the field in

the front of the school. When asked why they had come so early, she said, “We’re here to see the fireworks but also to enjoy the weather.” In addition to usual fair food such as pizza and ice cream, attendees could try the unique new creation of vendor Phil Delzeit. The “Panana” is a peanut butter and banana sandwich

deep fried in funnel cake batter and served with a chocolate raspberry sauce. The PTSA could not provide figures on the amount raised at last year’s lawn party but hoped to earn even more this year. The funds raised at this year’s event will be used to fund PTSA activities, including school dances and scholarships.

Study on autism shifts focus to the womb The new twins report used rigorous methods to diagnose autism spectrum disorders. By CARLA K. JOHNSON AP Medical Writer

CHICAGO — Most of the risk of autism has been blamed by experts on inherited genes. Now one of the largest studies of twins and autism shifts the focus to the womb, suggesting that the mother’s age and health may play a larger role than thought. The new research doesn’t solve the mystery of what causes autism. Most scientists think faulty genes and outside factors are both at work. And since autism spectrum disorders include a wide range of conditions, from mild to severe, it’s unlikely there’s a single cause for all of them. Conditions during pregnancy may trigger autism where there’s a genetic vulnerability, sliding down the sliding board. “The others are around somewhere,” Warren said with a laugh. “This is great fun for the kids. I just hope they get tired out for the fireworks and are ready for bed when we get home. We come every year because there’s so much for the kids to do.” Harry Creasing of Kingston and his two children were next to Warren. They were smiling ear to ear as they went from ride to ride. “It’s great family fun,” Creasing said. Elena Amanzio was attending the Kirby Park event for the first time since moving to Wilkes-

said Dr. Gary Goldstein of the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, who was not involved in the new research. “We’ve identified lots of vulnerability genes, but not everybody who has them gets autism,” Goldstein said. The new twins study, published Monday by Archives of General Psychiatry, used rigorous methods to diagnose autism spectrum disorders, including direct observation of the children. Using California health records, it’s the largest study to do that and the first to consider a large sample of twins drawn from a general population, said lead author Dr. Joachim Hallmayer of Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. Children with autism can have trouble communicating and interacting socially. They may have poor eye contact and engage in repetitive behavior such as rocking or hand-flapBarre 3 1/2 years ago. She brought her mother, Ilumanaba, and he nephew, Xavier, to see the fireworks. “We live in the Heights and we usually watch the fireworks from our porch,” Amanzio said. “We decide to come over to get a closer look this year.” Bob and Esther Green of Kingston and Phyllis Hesterfer of New Jersey come every year. “We enjoy the fireworks, of course, and the people,” Bob Green said. Esther Green said she had one complaint: The midway was so crowded, she said, that people

HARRISBURG – One player matched all five winning numbers drawn in Monday’s “Pennsylvania Cash 5” and will win a jackpot worth $725,000. Lottery officials said 159 players matched four numbers and won $221.50 each; 5,316 players matched three numbers and won $11 each; and 64,459 players matched two numbers and won $1 each. One player matched all six winning numbers drawn in Monday’s “Pennsylvania Match 6 Lotto” and will win a jackpot worth $950,000.

ping. One in 100 children have autism disorders, according to U.S. government estimates. The new study included 192 sets of twins where at least one of the twins was affected with autism. Some of the twins were identical and some were non-identical, or fraternal, twins. The researchers used DNA testing to determine which twins were identical and which were fraternal. That was important because identical twins come from one fertilized egg and have identical genetic makeups. Fraternal twins, from two fertilized eggs, share no more genetic material than any other siblings. The new study found, as expected, high rates of shared autism disorders for identical twins: 77 percent of male twin pairs and 50 percent for female pairs had autism in both twins. Surprisingly, it also found fairly high rates of fraternal twins

both having autism spectrum disorders: 31 percent rate for male fraternal twins and 36 percent for female fraternal twins. Other studies have found 10 to 20 percent of younger siblings of children with autism are likely to be diagnosed themselves with the disorder. Fraternal twins share the same womb, even though they don’t share identical genes. That could be important, said Dr. John Constantino of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, who wasn’t involved in the new research. “Finding so many fraternal twin pairs in whom both twins have autism spectrum disorders is a key finding that puts a spotlight on pregnancy as a time when environmental factors might exert their effects,” Constantino said. Those factors could include stress, diet, infections, a mother’s age and medications, experts said.

with disabilities were having trouble getting around. “I hope the police take care of that,” she said. The Watkins family of West Hazleton and the Chippi family of Hazleton said the festival provided fun for the entire family. “I love the funnel cake,” Judy Watkins said. “This is just a great day out.” A group of about 15 people were gathered in a circle awaiting the start of music and fireworks. The Landis family of Drums, the Mandel family of New York and the Tuckey family of Drums said they come out every year.

“We’ve been to the July 4th celebrations in Boston and New York, and Wilkes-Barre’s is as good as any of those,” said Mr. Mandel. “I told all of my friends on Facebook to come to WilkesBarre,” Mrs. Mandel said. At 7:45 p.m., the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic concert began conducted by Joan Landry and featuring singer Katie Williams. The philharmonic was presented by the Martz Group. The day’s celebration was capped-off by another spectacular fireworks show presented by Pizza Paul Pyrotechnics at dusk.

Being son of a popular gov., lack of formidable GOP opponent boost re-election prospects, say analysts

Many factors could impact Casey’s chances By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – When Bob Casey of Scranton crushed incumbent GOP Sen. Rick Santorum in 2006 with 59 percent of the vote, it was the first time in more than four decades that a Keystone State Democrat won a full term in the U.S. Senate. Now, as Casey begins to gear up for his re-election bid, some independent analysts are wondering if 2012 will represent another easy campaign for the freshman senator with the famous Pennsylvania political name. Casey, the son of the former two-term governor, starts off the campaign season

in better shape politically than several other Democrats also elected in 2006 who are now facing tough re-election fights, such as Sens. Jon Tester of Montana and Claire Casey McCaskill of Missouri, said Jennifer Duffy, the Senate analyst for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. Casey doesn’t have overwhelmingly positive poll numbers, Duffy notes. But he also lacks a credible GOP opponent, and he already has raised a pile of campaign cash – he raised $1.1 million

during the first quarter and had $2.1 million on hand as of March 30 – with another fundraising report due out by July 15 following the June 30 end of the second quarter “Casey’s numbers are good, but they are not stellar,” Duffy said, cautioning that it is too early to rule out a possible stiff GOP challenge to Casey. But Republicans “certainly have struggled with finding a candidate.” A Quinnipiac University poll released last month found that by a 47-26 percent margin Pennsylvania voters approve of the job Casey is doing, with 27 percent undecided. They said by a similar margin, 47-31, that Casey deserves to be re-

elected. Running against an unnamed GOP challenger, Casey was ahead 47-32 percent, including 44-26 percent among independent voters, Quinnipiac found. Several big-name GOP candidates have so far declined to get into the race, including state Sen. Jake Corman, RCentre, the political web site Politics PA has reported. Lesser-known candidates who have said they intend to run, such as Tea Party leader Laureen Cummings and attorney Marc Scaringi, didn’t even rate being matched up against Casey in the Quinnipiac poll, Politics PA noted.

Applicants must demonstrate need to be eligible, she said, and successful applicants have to meet several criteria. They are: • Reside in Luzerne County for at least a year. •Demonstratetheabilitytopaya monthly mortgage -- 20 years at zero interest. Kaufer said Habitat holds the mortgages and clients must pay on time every month. • Meet the income guidelines. Clients must fall within 30 percent and 60 percent of the median incomeofLuzerneCounty.(Example: A family of four must earn at least $16,950 and not more than $33,900.) • A willingness to partner with Habitat. Clients must commit to at least 300 hours of volunteer effort – Kaufer calls it “sweat equity” – to help build their home. “The sweat equity component is like a down payment,” she said. Kaufer said that through the years, the local Habitat has built about one home per year – until 2011. “This year, we are working on our third home,” Kaufer said. “We have built one in West Wyoming, Edwardsville and now Wilkes-Barre.” Habitat requires all partner families to be first-time home owners and come from living situations that are substandard, meaning conditions that are unsafe, unsanitary or overcrowded.

Teen killed in crash

An 18-year-old woman from McAdoo died Sunday night after she was struck by a vehicle on I-81 southbound near exit 141. State police at Hazleton said the crash occurred at 11:30 and involved a moving vehicle driven by Onix Gorbea-Lespier, 49, of Mechanicsburg, and a disabled Dodge that had pulled over on the interstate’s shoulder. Bahrey The stopped vehicle’s driver was Tyler Paisley, 18, of Mountain Top, who suffered significant injuries, and his passenger was Kayla Bahrey, who was standing outside of the vehicle when the accident occurred. She was thrown 15 feet from the initial point of impact, according to state police, and was pronounced dead at the scene by Luzerne County Deputy Coroner Jeff Stock. An autopsy is scheduled for this morning at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, according to Coroner John Corcoran. State police at Hazleton are continuing to investigate the incident and no charges have been filed. It was unclear why Gorbea-Lespier’s Pontiac left the roadway. Bahrey graduated on June 7 from Hazleton Area High School. Hazleton Area High School Principal Rocco Petrone was saddened when told of the news. “It’s very difficult to lose any young person,” Petrone said. “My heart goes out to her family.” He said no grief counselors were planned to be at the school today but that could change depending on the calls the district may receive as word spreads of her death. -- Andrew M.

Afghan fight shifting to east

Petraeus: Focus moves from Taliban strongholds By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press

KABUL, Afghanistan — The outgoing commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan said the focus of the war will shift in upcoming months from Taliban strongholds in the south to the porous eastern border with Pakistan, where alQaida factions and others hold sway. On his last Fourth of July in uniform before becoming the new CIA director, Gen. David Petraeus said more special forces, intelligence, air power and possibly some ground troops will be moved — probably by fall — to battle insurgents along the mostly rugged mountainous border with Pakistan. The U.S.-led coalition has focused much of its troop strength, resources and attention on Taliban strongholds in

southern Afghanistan, but the main effort of the war soon will turn eastward, he said. The east is home to the Afghan Taliban hotbeds and other groups such as al-Qaida and Lashkar-e-Taiba. “It’s a shift of intelligence assets. It’s a shift of armed and lift helicopters and perhaps the shift of some relatively small coalition forces on the ground and substantial Afghan forces on the ground,” he said in interviews with The Associated Press and three other news outlets after attending two re-enlistment ceremonies. “The intent has always been that as the southwest and south are solidified, that these assets would focus on the east. It’s not to say that we’re not doing it now.” Petraeus’ visit to Kandahar in south-

ern Afghanistan and Bagram Air Field, north of Kabul, was one of the last of his command in Afghanistan. Petraeus, who recently was confirmed as the next CIA director, will be replaced by U.S. Marine Lt. Gen. John Allen at a ceremony scheduled for July 18. Petraeus leaves just as the United States begins a 15-month drawdown of about 33,000 troops by September 2012. He and other military officials had recommended that President Barack Obama adopt a longer timeline — one that would extend through next year’s fighting season. “I think it’s probably time to stop secAP PHOTO ond-guessing the decision that only the president can make. Only he has the full Gen. David H.

Anthony jury deliberating

in the Casey Anthony murder J urors trial have ended their first day of

deliberations without reaching a verdict. Judge Belvin Perry called the jurors into the courtroom at 6 p.m. Monday and dismissed them for the night. The sequestered jury of seven women and five men will head back to their hotel and resume deliberating today at 8:30 a.m. The 25-year-old mother is facing first-degree murder and other charges in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee. Prosecutors in their rebuttal closing argument earlier Monday said the defense’s assertion that Caylee’s death was an accident made no sense. Anthony’s attorneys say the girl drowned in the family’s pool. CARACAS, VENEZUELA

Chavez returns home Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made a surprise return from Cuba early Monday, stepping off a plane before dawn amid rampant speculation about his fitness to continue in office after the removal of a cancerous tumor from his pelvic region. Looking thinner but standing straight and appearing energetic, Chavez strode across the tarmac of the Havana airport before boarding a plane. The president’s illness and threeweek stay in Cuba had political observers speculating that he could be gone for months, and some questioned whether he could realistically ever return to office. Chavez’s sudden unexpected arrival Monday appeared to be his attempt to put that speculation to rest. WASHINGTON

Malia Obama becomes teen A teenager now lives at the White House. Malia Obama, the eldest of President Barack Obama’s two daughters, turned 13 on the Fourth of July. As usual, she was sharing her parents with hundreds of others on her special day. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama invited hundreds of troops and their families from across the country to attend a special barbecue and USO concert on the South Lawn. There they will have one of the best views of the annual fireworks show on the National Mall. Malia’s birthday has been a source of angst for the president, whose recent public comments on that milestone have ranged from fear of what lies ahead to acceptance that daddy’s little girl is, well, growing up.

Syrian troops raid homes Syrian troops raided homes and made sweeping arrests in Hama on Monday, wounding at least 20 people before sealing off the city just days after about 300,000 protesters there held the largest demonstration since the uprising against President Bashar Assad erupted in mid-March, activists said. Rami Abdul-Rahman, the Londonbased director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said he was told by Hama hospital officials that most of the wounded suffered shots from pump action rifles used by security forces. A major operation in Hama, a city with a history of militancy against the Assad regime, could lead to an outcry.

Floodwaters from the nearby Missouri River cover a county highway in Hamburg, Iowa. Hundreds of tributaries that feed the congested Missouri River face a greater-than-normal flood risk this summer because of water levels that have kept them from draining.

Smaller Midwest rivers a threat Streams that feed into the Missouri are causing some of the worst problems this summer. By GRANT SCHULTE Associated Press

LINCOLN, Neb. — In a season of flooding by some of the nation’s biggest rivers, it’s streams most Americans have never heard of that could cause some of the worst problems in the Midwest. Hundreds of tributaries that feed the congested Missouri River face a greater-than-normal flood risk this summer because of water levels that have kept them from draining. The Missouri is expected to remain near historic highs for months, which means the threat will remain through summer— a season when the Midwest often is beset with thunderstorms that can quickly dump heavy rain.

University of Iowa engineering professor Witold Krajewski, director of the Iowa Flood Center, compared the situation to a “traffic jam” of water. It started with the sustained release of massive amounts of water from dams on the upper Missouri, caused by spring rain and a heavy Rocky Mountain snowpack that filled reservoirs. “It’s like a football game and baseball game getting out at the same time,” Krajewski said. “There are all these cars trying to move. It doesn’t take long before drivers can’t get out of the side streets.” Backed-up tributaries in South Dakota and Missouri have already submerged streets and threatened homes near the point where they reach the surging river. In Hamburg, Iowa, work crews are keeping close watch on changing levels of the Nishnabotna River to their east, as they try to hold off the Missouri River from the west.

IMF chief faces new sex assault charge

Strauss-Kahn hit back at author Tristane Banon’s plans to take him to court. By MICHAEL WEISSENSTEIN and ANGELA CHARLTON Associated Press

PARIS — Dominique Strauss-Kahn faced a potential new sexual assault investigation Monday after a young French writer said she would formally accuse him of trying to rape her during a 2002 book interview — a dizzying turn of events just as the former IMF chief’s fortunes seemed to be growing brighter. With France debating his possible return to presidential politics, Strauss-Kahn swiftly hit back at author Tristane Banon’s plans to take him to

court over the attempted rape accusations, labeling her account “imaginary” and counterBanon ing with his own plans to file a criminal complaint of slander. The sordid exchange may have deep ramifications for the 2012 presidential race in France, where the surprise weakening of the sexual assault case against StraussKahn in New York last week sparked a fierce debate about whether he should return to politics if the American case against him collapses completely. Before Banon’s announcement, polls showed voters

Some tributaries, such as the Nodaway and Big Sioux, are so backed up with high water in the larger river that local officials worry that a well-placed downpour could suddenly pose a new flooding threat. Nebraska State Climatologist Al Dutcher said the problem won’t end soon. “We’re probably going to see the tributaries be problematic all year,” Dutcher said. “If we get a monster storm that drops 3 to 4 inches of rain into a basin, all that water has to be evacuated. As it goes out toward the Missouri River, it’s going to back up.” Bob Anderson, a spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineer in Vicksburg, Miss., said similar problems could have happened during spring flooding along the Mississippi River, but heavy rainstorms didn’t occur at key times and tributaries didn’t swell beyond their normal size.

Anti-Nazi activist dies at age 98

Otto von Habsburg, son of Austria-Hungary’s last emperor, battled communism. By DAVID RISING Associated Press

BERLIN — Otto von Habsburg saw the crumbling of the empire his family had ruled for centuries and emerged from its ashes as a champion of a united and democratic Europe. The oldest son of Austria-Hungary’s last emperor fought Nazism and Soviet communism during his long decades of exile from his homeland, and was lionized by leaders across the continent as “a von Habsburg great European.” Habsburg died Monday at age 98 in his villa in Poecking in southern Germany, where he had lived since the 1950s, with his seven children nearby, his spokeswoman Eva Demmerle told The Associated Press. Habsburg used his influence in a vain struggle to keep the Nazis from annexing Austria before World War II, then campaigned for the opening of the Iron Curtain in the decades after the war. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, he used his seat in European Parliament to lobby for expanding the European Union to include former Eastern bloc nations. “My father was a towering personality,” Habsburg’s oldest son Karl Habsburg-Lothringen told the Austria Press Agency. “With him we lose a great European who has influenced everything we do today beyond measure.” Born in 1912 in Austria, Habsburg witnessed the family’s decline after the empire was dismantled and Austria became a republic after World War I. He became head of the family at his father’s death in 1922 and continued to claim the throne until the 1960s. He was a member of the European Parliament for the conservative Bavarian Christian Social Union in southern Germany and also served as president of the Pan-European League from 1979 to 1999. In that role, he was instrumental in helping organize the PanEuropean Picnic peace demonstration in 1989 on the border of Austria and Hungary. The border was briefly opened in a symbolic gesture, which created the opportunity for 600 East Germans to flee communism months before the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was the first time an Eastern European nation had opened its borders, and is widely seen as the start of the fall of communism. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso mourned the passing of “a great European ... who gave an important impetus to the European project throughout his rich life.”

Born into a performing family, Britain’s Anna Massey, 73, dies By JILL LAWLESS Associated Press

LONDON — Anna Massey, the member of an acting dynasty whose roles ranged from lonely spinsters to Margaret Thatcher, has died. She was 73. Massey died Saturday after a battle with cancer, with her husband and son at her side, her agent Pippa Markham said Monday.

MONUMENT Continued from Page 1A

Many come every year; some came this year just to see the Mattiolis and the 66-foot, 6-inch-tall monument that their generous donation of $100,000 helped to restore during the past year. Gloria Blandina, of Wyoming, has been to the annual event 35 times. Before leaving on Monday, she went up to the stage at the front of the large tent giving shelter to those gathered from the sweltering sun and extended her hand and personal thanks to the Mattiolis. “It’s very, very gracious of him to do this for the community,” Blandina said after her few seconds with the owners of Pocono International Raceway in Long Pond. “What a great, great gift he gave to all of us.” On Aug. 3, 2008, lightning struck the monument. The strike moved the top two rows of stones at least two inches, damaged the joints on the monument’s cap and blew out a small chunk of concrete. A plaque listing the names of survivors of the Battle of Wyoming sustained a crack from top to bottom along the right side, running through the last names of 14 of the men, from Ensign Daniel Downing down to Pvt. Cherrick Westbrook. Immediately after the strike, the community rallied around the monument and held fundraisers to begin raising the more than $125,000 needed to repair the town’s cherished treasure. But more than a year after the damage was done, only one-fifth of the needed funds was raised. Then Joseph Mattioli read a story in The Times Leader about the efforts to restore the monument and made a call to the story’s author, Bill O’Boyle. The reporter helped arrange a meeting among monument association officials; the borough’s

It appears the state GOP might be pinning its hopes on a wealthy candidate who can spend his or her own millions on a race against Casey. Still, “you can’t beat somebody with nobody, and right now nobody is emerging as a possible Republican challenger to Sen. Bob Casey Jr.,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, when the poll was released June 15.

Young and her team of 34 auction committee members have worked throughout the year to ensure the auction’s success. “Community libraries need support,” said Young, a 20-year volunteer of the auction. “In

mayor, Bob Boyer; and the Mattiolis at the couple’s Long Pond home on July 12, 2010. Mattioli wrote a check for $100,000 and handed it to the group. The restoration could begin. Throughout Monday’s more than two-hour program, speakers praised the Mattiolis and their generosity. The couple, he seated in a wheelchair, she in a folding chair by his side, wiped away tears as they heard how much their donation was appreciated.

“It was nice,” Joseph Mattioli said after the program. “They really outdid themselves with a beautiful program.” Though he had never been to the annual commemoration before Monday, he said growing up in Old Forge, he would drive down Route 11 and past the monument on his travels. He said that when he read about what had happened and how the community was trying to raise funds, he felt he could help.

That’s a big reason why the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics has rated Casey as likely, right now, to win re-election in the latest Crystal Ball predictions by center director Larry Sabato. “The Keystone State is another place where Republican hopes are fading against a first-term Democratic incumbent, Bob Casey,” Sabato wrote. “As in Michigan and Ohio, members of the Republican U.S. House delegation apparently have taken a pass.” But even more important, Sabato said, is that “Casey has a golden political name thanks to his father’s two popular terms as

governor. Casey starts the 2012 campaign in very good shape, and even if Obama — whose approval ratings are middling in Pennsylvania — doesn’t perform well at the top of the ticket (that might change), Casey should be all right.” However, Duffy and Quinnipiac’s Malloy note Republicans can take some hope from the fact that Casey’s approval rating and generic “re-elect” number remain below the 50 percent mark. “Pennsylvania voters like their senior senator, but more than one-in-four are undecided,” Malloy said. “And in three measures, job approval, deserves re-election

and Casey v. nobody, Casey is short of that magic 50 percent mark that allows incumbents to sleep more comfortably at night.” Casey’s campaign structure thus far is focused on fundraising. The candidate himself is focused on his work on Capitol Hill on issues such as trade and manufacturing – Casey is leery of free trade deals and says more needs to be done to spur the U.S. economy and especially its manufacturing sector – than on the upcoming campaign, says Larry Smar, Casey’s deputy chief of staff. When it does come time for full campaign mode, “Sen. Casey is prepared to run a strong cam-

paign just as he did in 2006,” Smar said. The Pennsylvania GOP and the National Republican Senatorial Committee did not return calls last week. Mark Nicastre, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, said Democratic turnout in 2012 should be even larger than in 2006 because it will be a presidential election year with the incumbent Barack Obama, who won Pennsylvania in 2008, on the ballot. Plus, Nicastre contended, Democrats like Casey will be able to successfully attack GOP Medicare and budget plans. “It is a tough recruiting envi-

ronment for Republicans,” Nicastre said. Still, Cook Political Report’s Duffy said that 16 months before Election Day is too early to proclaim the Pennsylvania Senate race to be over. Her “cautionary tale,” Duffy said, is what happened in Wisconsin in 2010. There, seemingly safe incumbent Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold was defeated by Republican Ron Johnson, and Johnson wasn’t even a candidate at this point in that race. Casey “starts off in a good place, but you have to see who eventually gets in” on the Republican side, Duffy said.

some states the government provides all the funding for community libraries, but in Pennsylvania that’s not the case.” The event netted about $75,000 for the library last year, and every year’s goal is to raise even more funds. But Young, of Dallas, said even though all the proceeds are generated for the library, attendees can still find quality merchandise for bargain prices. “It’s like a giant yard sale,” said Wayne Williams, of Trucksville, chairperson of the Odds and Ends tent. “People love the thrill of the hunt.” Williams said anything and everything can be found at the booth, which he’s been manning for about five years. Patrons donate items throughout the year and volunteers sort through every piece, no

matter its size or condition. “Last year we had a student count all the coffee mugs that were donated,” he said. “We counted about 725 mugs. What do you do with all them? We sold 10 mugs for a $1.” Other booths include Nearly Olde, a selection of items not suitable for the auction block; Attic Treasures, a collection of antique items and collectables; Cottage Keepers, a booth with small pieces of affordable furniture; and a jewelry tent, which will sell costume and estate jewelry. Food is always a big crowd-pleaser at the auction, and a few new vendors in addition to the standard potato pancakes and hamburgers will join the library grounds includ-

ing a gyro and taco stand. But the main attraction is what happens on the block. Professional and amateur auctioneers will be taking bids on antiques and new items each night to raise the most money possible for library. Guest auctioneers include Jon Meyer and Renie Workman from WNEP-TV on Friday and Rocky and Sue of KRZ Radio on Satur-

day. A children’s auction led by Boy Scout Troop 281 on Saturday morning will give youngsters a chance to bid on items such as bikes and Barbie dolls at kidfriendly prices. Leslie Horoshko, antiques committee chairwoman, said she

has been an auction volunteer for decades, but it’s still a different experience every year. “Every year I choose something and say, ‘This will get the most money,’ ” she said. “I’ve never been right. I guess that’s the unpredictability of auctions.”

“I was lucky to make a lot of money. These are the types of things I like to support,” Mattioli said. While the money given by the Mattioli family was key in getting the project the funds necessary to begin, the work by Masonry Preservation Services of Berwick ensured the monument was restored and in a state that it would remain for generations more to appreciate. Jeff Erdly, the CEO of Masonry Preservation Services, was on hand to witness the rededication, and like Mattioli, took in his first July 4th in the shadow of the monument. “It’s very special,” he said. The Mattiolis’ actions touched many of those gathered Monday and elicited praise from Bob Pavolonis, 65, of Wyoming. “They’ve got kind hearts. They’re wonderful people. That’s what you call voluntarily sharing your wealth,” said Pavolonis,

who said the large turnout was probably due to a combination of the restoration of the monument itself and people wanting to make sure the Mattiolis knew how much their donation meant. “Usually there’s empty seats, but not this time,” Pavolonis said. Among those who said he came for the first time Monday was Bill Sullivan, 38, of West Wyoming. “After hearing about it and reading about it the past two years, I knew this was a big deal and I felt like I needed to be here,” Sullivan said. Even those who have been to the ceremonies dozens of times noted the difference in this year’s event. Frank E.P. Conyngham, president of the Wyoming Commemorative Association, said Sunday night was like Christmas Eve for him. He said he was filled with anticipation and excitement for the event to begin.

The Wyoming Monument honors the more than 170 Connecticut settlers who were killed by Tories and Iroquois Indians on July 3, 1778, in the Battle of Wyoming. The remains of those killed were found in a mass grave in May 1832 and reburied where the monument stands. The monument’s construction began in July 1833 and was suspended due to a lack of funds when the monument reached 20 feet. Construction resumed in 1841 when the Ladies Luzerne Monumental Association, which became the Wyoming Monument Association in 1860, raised money to complete the monument at a cost of $8,000. On the 100th anniversary of the battle on July 3, 1878, a commemoration service drew more than 50,000 people to hear the main speaker for the event, U. S. President Rutherford B. Hayes. The service has been held on the battle anniversary every year since.

“For 40-Years, I was tortured by unbearable Acid Reﬂux” “Now, I can even eat spicy foods again without that awful acid burn, piercing through my esophagus!” By Ralph Burns; “Former” acid reﬂux sufferer

Here’s My Story: I've Suffered With Acid Reﬂux for Almost 40-Years Now. Unless you experience it; you can’t imagine how horrible it is. Every time I ate spicy food I would get what I called "ROT GUT". Like something was rotting in my stomach. But now I can eat anything… No matter how spicy. Even if I never could before. Let me explain… For the better part of my life; I purposely avoided of a lot of foods. Especially ones with even a tiny bit of seasoning. Because if I didn't, I’d experience a burning sensation through my esophagus— like somebody poured hot lead or battery acid down my throat. Add to that, those disgusting "minithrow ups" and I was in "indigestion hell".

"I was beside myself. What was I gonna do? Keep taking the pills, or suffer with problems that could ultimately be my demise”. Doctors put me on all sorts of antacid remedies. But nothing worked. Or if they did, it would only be for a brief period. And then boom! My nightmare would return. Sometimes, I felt like I was dying. The pain was unbearable and nothing could make it stop. But then my wife, who occasionally suffered with the same problem; gave me one of her prescription acid blockers. It was a miracle. I felt like I could live again. Because before that, I was just miserable. I wanted to kill myself. But thankfully, it worked, and worked well. I felt great, until about one year ago; when I read an FDA warning that scared the heck out of me. It went something like this… FDA WARNING! Using proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on a long term basis, increases your risk of hip, bone and spinal fractures. That's a particular concern to me, since many acid blockers are PPI's. I've gone through two back surgeries and bilateral hip replacements. I had to ask myself, could PPI's have been responsible for my medical woes? After all…

“The Recommended treatment for Prilosec OTC®, Prevacid®24HR and all other PPI's is only 14-days— I TOOK THEM FOR 14-YEARS!” I was “between a rock and a hard place”. Stop using the PPIs and I'm a “dead man in the water”. It would be unbearable. I wouldn't be able to eat anything. I’d have to go on a water diet. But that FDA warning was scary. I knew I had to stop or else risk developing spinal stenosis. My

mother had that. And I watched her die a horrible death. Her spine just fractured. It was the worst death. She didn't deserve that. And neither do I.

“Every time I ate something that didn't agree with me… I’d get what I called ‘Rot Gut’ — like my stomach was rotting out!” I had to quit. So I stopped taking PPI's for a day or so. But my indigestion was worse than ever. I would rather take the chance of a spinal fracture than to live like that again. I tried everything. Even started using home remedies like Apple cider vinegar. But it just felt like I was pouring even more acid down my throat. Then one day at dinner, a friend of mine said "why don't you try an aloe drink?" I said "aloe drink"? Jeez. That doesn't sound good at all!” The next day he brought me a case of something called AloeCure®. I was skeptical, but I was desperate! So instead of being an ingrate I decided to try it. I was shocked! AloeCure®. Tasted pretty good too. It has a pleasant grape ﬂavor that I actually enjoy drinking. I decided to experiment. I stopped taking the PPI's altogether and replaced it with a daily diet of AloeCure®. Then something remarkable happened… NOTHING! Not even the slightest hint of indigestion. And here’s the best part. The next day we had Italian food — my worst enemy. But for the ﬁrst time in 40-years I didn't get indigestion without relying on prescription or OTC pills and tablets. Finally, I just didn’t need them anymore! I was so thrilled; I wrote the AloeCure® company to tell them how amazing their product is. They thanked me, and asked me to tell my story... the story that changed my life. I said “Sure, but only if you send me a hefty supply of AloeCure®. I just can't live without it. But don't believe me. You have to try this stuff for yourself. I recommend AloeCure® to anyone who suffers with the same problem I did. It gives you immediate relief. You'll be grateful you did. I sure am. It's the best thing that's happened to me in a long, long time. TRY IT 100% RISK-FREE! The makers of AloeCure® have agreed to send you up to 6 FREE bottles PLUS 2 free bonus gifts with every order— they’re yours to keep no matter what. That’s enough AloeCure® for 30days of powerful digestive relief, absolutely free! But hurry! This is a special introductory offer, reserved for our readers only. Call Now, Toll-Free!

WORLD OPINION

Warrant against Gadhafi can only help opposition

HE International Criminal Court warrant against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi doesn’t really come as a surprise to anyone. Given the international outrage over the regime’s continuing atrocities against its own people and the West’s struggling military campaign, this was to be expected. Notwithstanding the hypocrisy often demonstrated in such cases, it has to be said that the ICC charges brought against the Libyan trio – Gadhafi, his son Seif Al-Islam and intelligence chief Al-Senussi – are far from unreasonable and unjustified. Thousands have been killed in the crackdown by the Libyan regime since the popular uprising began nearly four months ago. All attempts to talk sense into the maverick Libyan dictator, who has ruled the country with an iron hand for more than four decades, have failed.

On the other hand, the opposition fighters have failed to make any substantial progress deGadhafi spite the moral support they have received. The unprecedented NATO-U.S. military campaign has so far failed to break the obstinacy of Gadhafi. The ICC warrant against the regime for its crimes against humanity will therefore come as a much-needed shot in the arm for the opposition. It could very well prove the proverbial last straw on the camel’s back for Gadhafi, although there are fears that the ICC move also could make the colonel desperately dangerous. Let us hope for the best. Arab News Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We will get through this.” Dr. Lois Margaret Nora The interim president and dean of The Commonwealth Medical College took over six weeks ago. Among her challenges: funding uncertainties caused by the economy, the governor’s plan to end $5 million in state funding, the need to lay off 12 staff and eight faculty members and a national accrediting group’s decision to place the fledgling Scranton-based school on probation.

Dissidents aren’t puppets

HE SYRIAN dissidents who were allowed by the Baathist regime to meet June 27 in a Damascus hotel are not leaders of the current protests in the street – but the younger activists should form lines of communication with them, rather than carp at them as dupes of the state. The Damascus Declaration Coalition and other groups fear the government will exploit the Semiramis Hotel meeting to pretend that freedom has come to Syria. But there is little danger of that, after the killing of at least 1,300 people at demonstrations, the arrest of about 12,000

and the flight of 11,000 refugees over the border. The organizers of the meeting are not puppets. No such event has happened in decades. Its principal instigator, Luay Hussain, called the regime a “system of tyranny,” and their concluding communiqué advocated a popular uprising. On the other hand, the leaders of the uprising were wise not to attend; the government’s security forces were watching. Their meeting was not the beginning of a Syrian era of glasnost, but it does open a door, if ever so slightly. And that is a change for the better. The Globe and Mail, Toronto

Districts deserve ‘F’ for failing to hire female leaders AND THEN there were none. On Thursday, Nancy Tkatch finished her final day as Northwest Area School District superintendent, leaving a job she held for eight years. She was the last of what had been a small local vanguard of the onceunthinkable: female superintendents. In 2003, Luzerne County’s 11 public school districts came within a month of having three female superintendents: Geraldine Shepperson in Hazleton Area, Alberta Griffiths in Hanover Area and Tkatch. Shepperson was forced to leave that August by a board that had marginalized her for months, while Tkatch was appointed just weeks after Shepperson’s departure. Griffiths died two years later. Tkatch’s departure might seem amicable, but it is not voluntary. Her contract was up for renewal and a new school board wanted a new direction. Meanwhile, Betsy Ellis was retiring as Career Center administrative director, and for Tkatch, the timing was perfect and the job an almost ironic fit. She freely admits that as a teenager she had no intention of attending college. She studied culinary arts at Wilkes-Barre VoTech and planned to enter the field as soon as she got the diploma. A string of unexpect-

Now she has multiple degrees and certifications, is leaving the top position in the school district to head a “vo-tech,” though these days they are called “career centers.” It’s not surprising that she has become an eloquent proponent of comprehensive change to our schools. She argues for a focus – from kindergarten to high school diploma – on making sure every student has the skills needed to pursue a career, whether right away or through more education. It also is not surprising that she sees the dearth of local female superintendents as a regional failure. I agree. “People make assumptions on what gender brings to a job,” Tkatch said. This is no indictment of the current crop of (now all-male) superintendents in our county. Tkatch gives her colleagues praise. It might be that there still aren’t enough qualified women applying for the job. But as I noted after Griffith died, local districts often groom someone from within. They could groom a woman as easily as a man.

But it is more likely because, without exception, women are never more than a small minority on any board in the county. There are some strong-willed, very active women in those seats, but they are still few and far between. One reason often given for putting qualified women into positions such as district superintendent is the need for role models. When kids see someone like themselves in a job, it’s easier for them to aspire to that job. (This is also why we should work to get more men teaching elementary grades). But there’s a more compelling reason. Getting qualified women – and for that matter, qualified minorities – into high-level positions such as school district superintendent is not a matter of “political correctness” or “gender equality.” It is a matter of common sense. We need to develop and use everyone’s talents to their fullest. Our inability to produce or find qualified female superintendents makes us look like we’re stuck in the 1950s.

China’s EU aid helpful A

REMIER WEN Jiabao has been delivering China’s decisive message that it will continue to bolster its partnership with European countries struggling with debt crises and economic recession. In Hungary, this message was embodied in his announcement that China would buy a “certain amount” of treasury bonds. The Hungarian government described it as “a decision of historic significance.” After previous announcements of bond purchases from Greece, Spain and Portugal, China’s latest support commitments came in tandem with the European Union leaders’

Our inability to produce or find qualified female superintendents makes us look like we’re stuck in the 1950s.

t the West Side Career and Technology Center’s Joint Operating Committee meeting held June 27, the committee voted on a final budget that included the elimination of sports. There was an 8-6 vote in favor of the elimination. Some coaches offered to coach for free. There was no talk of pay-to-play, fundraising, etc. They just cut it without giving anyone a chance to do some of these things to keep it. Dallas, which is getting a new school built, and Wyoming Valley West, which I think still has a bad taste in its mouth over other issues at West Side CTC, did not give a single “no” vote. This is something I, along with a lot of others, will remember during election time. This issue is now in the hands of the five sending school districts’ board members. I hope they think this through before they make the mistake of dropping sports at West Side CTC. I would just like them to think about what athletics has done for them, their kids or grandkids. Some of you got your educations and have the jobs you now enjoy because of sports. We need to petition our sending districts, whether it be Dallas, Wyoming Valley West, Wyoming Area, Lake-Lehman or Northwest. Taking sports away at West Side CTC

would not only hurt the school, I think the number of kids attending the school will be reduced and – with the elimination of the school’s recruiter, Lorri Vandermark, who has gotten the school to its highest attendance – might crush the school. Mike Jeschke Dallas Township

Reader questions Casey’s commitment to pro-life

arry Smar, deputy chief of staff for U.S. Sen. Robert Casey Jr., recently sought to defend the senator’s pro-life stance as one focused on reducing the number of unintended pregnancies and abortions, while valuing life at every stage. Unfortunately, the senator’s record does not qualify for that lofty evaluation. It shows he voted for a health care bill that

DOONESBURY

lacked tough abortion language. He voted against the Mexico City Policy, which sought to eliminate foreign aid funding for abortion. The Bishop of Scranton scolded him for that vote, saying it would “mean the deaths of thousands of unborn children.” Since assuming office in 2007, Sen. Casey has received $327,914 from groups advocating abortion rights. These include Planned Parenthood, EMILY’s List, NOW (the National Organization for Women), and NARAL (National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League). These facts were reported by the Catholic News Agency. If you follow his actions and “the money,” and not his words, it’s hard to categorize him as pro-life. It’s a classic example of trying to have it both ways. Sen. Casey has opportunities in the future to back what he says he supports, to show his true colors. He could vote for the “Life at Conception Act,” thus supporting his purported view that life does indeed begin at conception, as science confirms. Passage of this law will be the end of Roe v. Wade. Until that comes to pass, he could vote to de-fund Roe v. Wade by votes big and small, such as any future votes on the Mexico City Policy, health care and funding for pro-abortion organizations.

worry about that later.” Even the famed Agnes flood, which caused millions of dollars in damage throughout Northeast Pennsylvania in 1972, didn’t leave this section of Plymouth in such dire straits. “Agnes was nowhere near this,” Mazur said. Brian Wrightson, director of emergency services for the Red Cross of Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania, said that in his 15 years of responding to disasters “this is the worst flash flooding I’ve seen in this area in a long time.” He said more than 125 people have been affected and a service center has been set up at the Goodwill Hose Co. on West Main Street in the borough. It will reopen today at 1 p.m. and remain open until 7 p.m. People can get information on help for the damage done to their properties as well as cleanup kits and mops. An emergency shelter would have opened in the Plymouth Township municipal building if the need arose, Wrightson said, but nobody requested overnight shelter. He said many people who sought help at the service center Monday said they were staying with friends or family or would remain in their home, even though the structures were damaged by Sunday’s flooding. The borough is urging people whose property was damaged to call the borough building at 7791011. The more people who report damage, the more funds may be freed up by emergency management agencies. Mazur spent Sunday night, the wee hours of Monday morning and well into Monday evening surveying damage, walking the streets talking to people, snapping pictures and docu-

They can’t drive down Coal Street because the street is gone. The rushing water caused it to buckle and collapse. From Mill Street up, the road is impassable. Several residents don’t have a way to get out. A Chevrolet Blazer that was parked on the street was lifted and carried about 100 yards, coming to rest on its roof in the middle of the ripped-up street. Mud, debris and rocks are everywhere; yards have been washed away, exposing huge water lines and storm sewer lines. Power lines fell and crews were working Monday to restore electricity to some of the homes hit by the storm. A utility pole with a streetlight attached fell across the street. Joe Mazur, Plymouth’s borough manager, lives at 108-114 Coal St. He watched the flooding from his front porch. He couldn’t believe his eyes. “The rain came down so hard and so fast,” he said Monday. “All that runoff from the mountain just went into the creek and washed everything away with it.” Mazur said he and other bor-

menting whatever damage he could find. He did not sleep and said he wasn’t alone. Borough police, volunteer firefighters, street department workers and other volunteers worked nonstop clearing debris, assisting residents, pumping out basements and surveying damage. By Monday night, Mazur said he and others had done all they could do in a 24-hour span. Main Street and Shawnee Avenue were washed down and cleared. Other streets were a lot better looking than they were just a day earlier. “We’re not in too bad of shape,” Mazur said after enjoying two hot dogs as part of his Independence Day dinner. He thanked the contractors who heeded the holiday call to do some emergency work and all the volunteers who did what they could with little to no sleep. He said nobody is to blame for what happened. No dams were breached, no drainage issues were responsible.

“It was an act of God,” Mazur said. Looking out of his window Sunday at about 5 p.m., Mazur said he saw the wind begin to pick up, saw the skies darken, then the hail began falling and then the heavens opened. His 18-foot round pool, which he leaves filled 8 inches to the

top, had water to the rim after 45 minutes. Other than his damaged deck and picnic table, his home was spared. But homes across the street were deluged with water and sustained damage. He said the slope of the road kept water on the opposite side of Coal Street.

ough officials will meet with representatives of Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency today to assess the damage and to ask for help. “I’ve talked to state Sen. John Yudichak and state Rep. Gerald Mullery, and they said they will do what they can to get us help,” Mazur said. “This happened once before, in 1947. We need a lot of help to fix this. There has to be millions and millions of dollars of damage.” Joe Judzikowski has lived at 125 Coal St. for six years. The water washed away most of his yard, leaving his foundation exposed. He said he hopes the state and federal governments come to the people’s aid. “We need answers,” he said. Many wondered where all the water came from with such force. Some speculated one of the four reservoirs on Plymouth Mountain had been compromised. But Mazur quickly dispelled the rumors. “Those four reservoirs were removed years ago,” he said. “This water just came down the mountain and into the creek.” Gary Neupauer’s home on Coal Street was spared any damage. He said he watched the water and couldn’t believe what it caused.

“There was just too much water for the creek to handle,” Neupauer said. Joseph Mentyka Sr. is 92 and he has lived at 126 Coal St. for 54 years. His basement filled with water from the storm, rising to just one foot from entering his first floor. His son, Joe, Jr., said they had been pumping water all day on Monday. People on Poplar Street, several blocks away, were shoveling mud from in front of their homes. They said a creek runs under their homes and swelled so much that sidewalks and the street were uprooted as the water gushed. “We were home and I smelled a strong scent of methane gas,” Bob Warman of 133 Poplar St said. He pointed to a large concrete slab that was lying on the street. “That’s my sidewalk,” he said. “It was right here.” He pointed to an uncovered area where water could be seen flowing near the foundation of his house. Warman said officials have told him there is a “natural creek” running under his house and under the street. “Look in there,” he said. “There are two concrete walls on either side. It looks like somebody built a creek wall there.”

Warman and his wife, Janice, have questions. They said borough officials were around, but were non-committal on whether help is on the way. “Somebody needs to fix this situation,” said Tammy Wolfe, who lives at 126 Poplar St. Her mother, Eleanor Ferkel, lives at 128 Poplar. “Obviously the drainage system needs to be fixed,” Wolfe said. “This can’t happen again.” Coal and Poplar streets are in need of major repairs. Most of each street needs to be replaced. Neighbors on Poplar Street such as Helen Kibildis have basements filled with mud, debris and water. “If it rains hard again, we could have more major problems,” Kibildis said. She’s lived in the house at 137 Poplar St. for more than 60 years. “I’m worried about my foundation.” Other sections of Plymouth, Flat Road, Ransom Street and many streets in Plymouth Township also received heavy damage from mud, debris and water. “We intend to fight for our people,” Mazur said. “We’ll have more information after (today’s) meeting.”

Bridge, Dennison Township, $320,000; Marchakitus Road Bridge, Lehman Township, $375,000; Moss Road Bridge, Fairmount Township, $400,000; Reese Road Bridge, Union Township, $290,000; and Old State Road Bridge, Ross Township, $275,000. Replacement of these bridges was delayed because the county had to negotiate federal funding for the projects with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Gibbons said. The county must build the bridges to comply with current lane widths and other safety features, but the federal government only wanted to fund the cost of structures the dimensions of the ones destroyed, Gibbons said. After rounds of back-and-forth, the federal government agreed to reimburse the county anywhere from 70 to 95 percent of the cost, Gibbons said. The county’s share comes out of capital bond funding borrowed in the past, he said. The bridge that’s ready to open is on Main Street in Sugarloaf Township, crossing Nescopeck Creek. The original steel structure was built in 1895 and was closed by the county several years ago because of safety concerns, Gibbons said. The county initiated a federal funding request to replace the 85foot-long bridge in 2004. The new bridge cost $1.018 million, with 80 percent of the tab picked up by the federal government. The state is covering the rest.

The new bridge is finished with stained, concrete forms to make it look like natural stone, Gibbons said. “We try to mimic the kind of stone that’s in the creek so it kind of blends it in,” he said. The same type of finish will be used for bridges on Chase and Hillside roads that cross Huntsville Creek because both spans are near The Lands at Hillside Farms, Gibbons said. Both bridges will also have a decorative stone marking the construction date, he said. Construction should start soon, he said. “We’re trying to preserve the historical attributes of the area,” he said. “These bridges are designed to last 100 years, so you want to pay attention to aesthetics, especially in historic districts.” Three of the four bridges currently under construction – Mahoney Road in Ross Township and the East Sorber Mountain Road and North Mountain Road bridges in Lake Township – were destroyed by June 2006 flooding. The fourth – Breaker Road Bridge over Solomon Creek in Hanover Township – was closed about two years ago because of safety concerns, Gibbons said. The replacement bridge will cost about $1.5 million. The county ended up owning and maintaining most of its bridges during the Great Depression, when the court ordered a takeover because townships and municipalities didn’t have the financial means to take care of the structures, Gibbons said. “That’s how we got most of our roads as well,” he said. The county owns and maintains 127 miles of roadway scattered throughout the county.

Last 4 shuttle astronauts arrive in Fla. for countdown By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The four astronauts who will close out NASA’s 30-year space shuttle program arrived Monday for their history-making launch week, saluting the nation’s birthday and all those who contributed to Atlantis’ final flight. The launch countdown begins today. Liftoff is set for Friday at 11:26 a.m. before an estimated crowd of up to 1 million people. Commander Christopher Ferguson and his crew received small American flags as launch director Mike Leinbach greeted them out on the runway. The four needed just two training jets for the flight from their training base in Houston. “This is a day that’s decidedly American, a day where we kind of reflect on our independence and all the wonderful things that we really have as a part of being Unit-

ed States of America,” said Ferguson, a retired Navy captain. “It’s wonderful that you’ve all came out to join us,” he told the approximately 65 photographers and other journalists who swarmed the runway. He urged them to go and enjoy some barbecue, fireworks and apple pie. Altogether, about 2,500 members of the news media have requested credentials to cover the launch. As of Monday, the estimated total crowd count also had risen: NASA spokesman Allard Beutel said between 750,000 and 1 million people now are expected to jam the area to witness the end to shuttle history. That’s considerably more than the crowds that showed up for Discovery’s last liftoff in February and Endeavour’s in May. Atlantis will make a supply run to the International Space Station, before joining Discovery and Endeavour in retirement.

Jeter back in lineup; Yanks lose

Shortstop goes hitless in first game back from injury. By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND — In 10 years, Austin Kearns has just two career hits against A.J. Burnett. He’s made them both count. Kearns hit his first homer in 105 at-bats this season, a stunning three-run shot in the seventh inning off Burnett, sending the Cleveland Indians to a 6-3 win and spoiling All-Star shortstop Derek Jeter’s return to the Yankees’ lineup Monday night. With two on and the Indians trailing 2-1, Kearns, who has been in a slump all season, INDIANS hit a 1-0 pitch from Burnett (8-7) the opposite way to right YANKEES for his first homer since Aug. 22, when he wore Yankee pinstripes. Kearns came up batting only .192 with two RBIs in a part-time role. He was only 1 of 11 against Burnett — a grand slam as a rookie in 2002 for Cincinnati. “It’s a funny game,” Kearns said. Jeter was back in his familiar spot at shortstop and again atop the batting order for the first time since June 13, when he went on the disabled list with a calf injury. New York’s captain went 0 for 4 and remained six shy of becoming the first Yankees player to reach 3,000 hits. “I felt fine, no problems, no issues,” Jeter said. “I was nervous at the beginning, almost like it was opening day again. It was just nerves. Three weeks is definitely a long time to be out. I felt better

Finishing times leave winners wanting a little more By ROBERT MINER For The Times Leader

WILKES-BARRE – Chris Wadas and Regan Rome ran to easy victories in the YMCA 3 Mile Run on Independence Day. But despite the easy wins, both runners weren’t satisfied with their finishing times. The humidity surely played havoc with their performances. Wadas, 29, of Plains Township, broke the tape in 15 minutes and nine seconds. The Misericordia University track and cross country coach outran second-place finisher Chris Ehret, 17, of Dallas,

Skwierz, 28, of Pringle, finished fourth, just a split-second behind Maloney. “I didn’t do too well,” said a slightly disappointed Wadas, who runs for the Keystone Track Club, based in Harrisburg. “I finished the first mile in 4:53. But after that first mile, I didn’t feel too comfortable. “I ran through the last two miles in 10:16,” Wadas continued, while shaking his head. “That’s not good. That’s a workout pace for me. I just didn’t have it. It wasn’t my day.” Once Wadas realized he was go-

TOUR DE FRANCE

American Farrar remembers fallen friend with emotional Independence Day victory By JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press

Tyler Farrar celebrates winning the third stage of the Tour de France in Redon, Brittany, western France, on Monday.

AP P HOTO

REDON, France — Two months ago, Tyler Farrar was demoralized, sleeping 20 hours a day. He had even stopped riding, overcome by sorrow after his best friend died in a crash at the Giro d’Italia. On Monday, Farrar became the first American to win a stage of the Tour de France on the Fourth of July. It was the first time he had won a stage in cycling’s showcase race, and he dedicated the victory to the late Wouter Weylandt of Belgium. “It’s a little bit unbelievable to me at the moment that it actually happened,” said Farrar, who pulled out of the Giro after the accident. After crossing the finish line, Farrar held up his hands to form a “W” with his fingers and thumbs in tribute to Weylandt. See TOUR, Page 5B

“This has been a horrible last two months with everything that happened in the Giro. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs. But in the end, I wanted to be able to come back, and do something special to pay tribute.” Tyler Farrar After winning Monday’s stage of the Tour de France

e was decorated in a special Independence Day uniform that resembled an American flag, just like the rest of his Trenton Thunder teammates. Only this was Derek Jeter, the captain of the New York Yankees. “Looked like Captain America,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said with a laugh. Jeter smiled. The Yankees got a good hoot too, when Cashman sent them pictures he clicked during Jeter’s dress rehearsal Sunday night. “Here’s the captain,” Cashman said he teasingly warned the team. “Try to do everything you can do not to get injured so you don’t end up looking like this.” Nobody’s joking around now. Jeter returned to the Yankees on Monday after a weekend rehabilitation stint at Double-A Trenton, where he successfully proved his aching calf that forced him to miss 19 games is healthy enough for him to play for New York again. Is he still skilled enough to stay there? Now in his 17th season with the Yankees, at the age of 37, Jeter doesn’t make people jump from their seats as he once did. His .260 batting average through the first half of this year, coming off a .270 season in his contract year, suggest Jeter is in decline from the player who owns a .312 lifetime batting average. He went into Monday’s game at Cleveland needing just six hits to reach the prestigious 3,000 mark for his career, but those hits are coming fewer and further between for him. It is why Yankee fans, and maybe the Yankees themselves, are becoming so enamored with the shortstop across town who plays for the Mets. But as electrifying as Jose Reyes can be, he’s had problems staying in the lineup himself. Jeter rarely comes out, having played in at least 148 games during 14 of the past 15 seasons. “I don’t like sitting out,” Jeter said. Fans continue to love the way he plays the game, which is why a record crowd of 9,212 people turned out to watch Jeter at Waterfront Park. It didn’t take long for Jeter to fill the park with energy. It was nothing more than a final tuneup in Trenton for him Sunday, but Jeter played it the way he always does – like the World Series was on the line. He barely broke stride going from first to third when the left fielder bungled a base hit. His lunge couldn’t snare a sinking liner in the field, but his quick-witted flip to second recorded an out on the play. He didn’t need help completing a double play against Altoona a couple innings later. And for every little flub – Jeter committed an error and struck out to the delight of some Altoona Curve fans who gleefully implored him to retire – Jeter flashed baseball brilliance. The defining moment of what he is about, what he has always been about, came when he dropped down a bunt for a base hit with two men on base during his final at-bat in the fifth inning. “He was back,” Jeter said of the Altoona third baseman, “we needed runners on base, we were losing at the time. It’s something I would do during the course of the season. Why not do it here? “Still had to play the game.” It’s never mattered to Jeter whether that game was going on in Double-A Trenton or amid the thrills of the postseason at Yankee Stadium. “He’s ready to go,” Cashman proclaimed. Always. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist. You may reach him at 970-7109 or email him at psokoloski@timesleader.com.

MIAMI — Vance Worley pitched seven shutout innings and the Philadelphia Phillies scored the only run on a close play in the seventh inning to beat the Florida Marlins 1-0 Monday night. Michael Martinez, playing for an injured Shane Victorino, earned his fifth RBI of the year with a single to center. A sliding Domonic Brown barely beat the throw home, although a TV replay appeared to show he was tagged out before touching the plate. The Marlins argued only briefly, but twice had a player ejected for disputing other calls. Worley (4-1) allowed two hits — both singles — while lowering his ERA to 2.21 in 10 games. Antonio Bastardo pitched a hitless ninth for his fifth save to complete a twohitter for Philadelphia, which leads with 13 shutouts.

Brooklyn beat New York 14-4. 1937 — Hal Trosky hit three home runs to pace the Cleveland Indians to a 14-4 victory over the St. Louis Browns in the opener of a doubleheader. 1937 — Frank DeMaree of Chicago went 6-for-7 in the first game of a doubleheader, in which the Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 13-12 in 14 innings. DeMaree had three doubles and three singles. The Cubs won the second game 9-7 and DeMaree had two more singles. 1947 — Larry Doby became the first black to play in the American League. He struck out as a pinch-hitter as Cleveland lost 6-5 to the White Sox.

Madson won’t pitch before break By MATT GELB The Philadelphia Inquirer

MIAMI — Progress in Ryan Madson’s bruised right hand is difficult to judge because the Phillies closer has declined on multiple occasions to speak about his injury. And as the calendar creeps toward the all-star break, a return in the first half became less and less likely. With only six games (in seven days) left in the season’s first half, Madson was officially ruled out from retuning before the break. Rich Dubee said Monday it was impossible because Madson has yet to even throw off a mound during his recovery process. “I don’t know when he’ll be on the mound,” Dubee said, before later adding he hopes it happens sometime in the next week. Even then, Madson will require a stint of minor-league games to return to pitching shape. With the time off for the break, Madson could go a month between appearances in the majors. His last game was June 18, almost a month after the injury actually occurred in a May 20 game against Texas. In the 13 games after being struck by a David Murphy liner, Madson had a 4.15 ERA. Dubee said his grip was affected. “His fastball and cutter were very tough (to throw),” Dubee said. “He just didn’t have strength in his fingers to throw the ball.” There has been progress, Dubee said. That has come in the form of long tossing Saturday and Sunday. Madson played catch again Monday. Victorino sits Twenty-four hours of online voting put Shane Victorino in the lead of the “Final Vote” for the 34th spot on the National League All-Star roster. During that same span, the Phillies centerfielder found himself out of Charlie Manuel’s lineup with a swollen right thumb. That was a result of Victorino’s belly flop in the sixth inning of Sunday’s loss to Toronto. What happened on that play? “Other than utter embarrassment?” Victorino said, laughing. “Other than me having turf in my mouth when I got up?” Victorino’s left cleat was caught in the Rogers Centre turf and tumbled to the ground, jamming his right finger in the process. Manuel said Victorino was completely unavailable for Monday because gripping a bat was too tough. Victorino does not expect to miss much time. “It’s a little sore,” he said, “but it’s all right.” Polanco sees stars Placido Polanco is the first to admit a pinched nerve in his back is hurting him and has affected his swing. So why not rest it during the all-star break? “I don’t know when I’d be able to play in another All-Star Game,” Polanco said. The 35-year-old third baseman was elected by fans to start for the National League. Polanco figures a few innings and one or two atbats won’t have any effect on his status. “To me, if he can play the game, I’d let him,” Manuel said. “That’s kind of how I look at it.” Extra bases Brad Lidge (torn rotator cuff) began his official rehab assignment with a scoreless inning for single-A Lakewood. Lidge allowed two singles and threw 15 pitches. ... Joe Blanton (right elbow inflammation) threw a bullpen session Monday in Clearwater, Fla. It was the first time since May 19 that Blanton threw off a mound. “He was fine,” Dubee said. ... A name to watch: Juan Rivera. He was designated for assignment by Toronto after Sunday’s game and could provide a righthanded outfield option for the Phillies. Rivera, 33, was hitting .327 with a .909 OPS in 65 plate appearances against lefties this season but the Blue Jays were fed up with his inability to be an everyday player and his $5.25 million salary.

Clemens ready to fight as perjury trial opens Ex-pitcher’s trial on charges that he lied to congress set to begin Wednesday. By NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Roger Clemens’ tenacious pursuit of victory on the pitcher’s mound is reemerging as he enters federal court this week to fight charges he lied about using drugs and to try to ruthlessly discredit the former friend who says he did. Clemens is charged with perjury, false statements and obstruction of Congress for telling a House committee under oath that he never used performance-enhancing drugs during his 23-season career. The record-setting pitcher who once seemed a sure bet for baseball’s Hall of Fame now

could face prison if 12 jurors agree that he lied and unanimously agree to convict him. The trial of the United Clemens States vs. William R. Clemens, scheduled to begin Wednesday and last 4-6 weeks, will bring a parade of celebrity athletes and plenty of sordid details to the staid Washington federal courthouse. It will feature testimony about illicit drugs, bloody evidence of injections, an abscess on Clemens’ backside allegedly caused by steroid use and allegations that his accuser is a serial liar and a rapist. Clemens isn’t the only all-star baseball player to be criminally charged for lying about drug use, and prosecutors have a mixed re-

cord. Infielder Miguel Tejada pleaded guilty in 2009 to a misdemeanor for withholding information about an ex-teammate’s use of drugs when questioned in 2005 by congressional investigators. But in their first jury test, prosecutors were able to convict home run king Barry Bonds of just one count of obstruction of justice in April for giving an evasive answer to a grand jury when asked about drug use. The jury deadlocked on the three remaining counts that Bonds made a false statement by saying he never knowingly received steroids and human growth hormone from his trainer. But unlike the Bonds trial, where the trainer who allegedly provided injections refused to testify against his former boss and friend, Clemens’ strength trainer, Brian McNamee, is the prosecution’s leading witness.

For a decade, McNamee worked out intensely with Clemens and helped shape “The Rocket” into one of the most powerful pitchers in the major leagues, even into middle age. McNamee also says he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone, and even kept the used needles that will be key scientific evidence at trial. But McNamee, a former New York City police officer, is not an ideal witness for the prosecution. He acted as a drug dealer to several major league players and acknowledges he hasn’t always told the truth when asked about Clemens’ drug use and other matters. McNamee initially denied giving Clemens drugs, he says out of loyalty to his best and longtime client, but eventually admitted to federal agents he injected the seven-time Cy Young Award winner.

Clemens’ main defense has been to discredit McNamee, whom Clemens’ attorneys described in a recent court filing as “the only person in the entire world who has ever alleged that he witnessed Mr. Clemens use performance enhancing drugs at any time in his storied career.” Clemens’ lawyers accuse McNamee of being a “congenital liar” who made up the allegations against their client to save himself from drug charges. They also want to introduce evidence that in 2001 McNamee drugged and raped a woman, then lied to police who investigated the allegation but never charged McNamee with a crime. “If Mr. McNamee’s mouth is moving, he’s making an inconsistent statement,” Clemens attorney Rusty Hardin said during a recent hearing. Prosecutors are fighting to keep

out evidence of the sexual assault investigation and plan to call several witnesses to back up McNamee’s allegations against Clemens. Among them are Clemens’ former Yankee teammates Andy Pettitte, Chuck Knoblauch and Mike Stanton, who all admit getting performance enhancing drugs from McNamee. Pettitte is particularly important because he’s the only witness besides McNamee who says he spoke with Clemens about his drug use. The six felony counts against Clemens stem from the House Government Reform Committee’s 2008 investigation into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. Former Sen. George Mitchell had recently published a 400-page report that named Clemens and 85 other former and current major league players as users.

TOUR DE FRANCE NOTEBOOK

U.S. team has fan in Senator Kerry

Wild’s Heatley confident he still has scoring touch

By JEROME PUGMIRE AP Sports Writer

REDON, France — Jonathan Vaughters received another email from his good friend Sen. John Kerry, who was congratulating the manager of the Garmin-Cervelo team for a stage win at the Tour de France. “Kerry’s a massive cycling fan,” Vaughters told The Associated Press on Monday. “He’s got a (Garmin-Cervelo) jersey and shorts, he always rides in it.” Vaughters showed the AP an email he had received from the Massachusetts senator after Sunday’s victory in the team time trial, adding that he got “another congratulatory note” on Monday after American sprinter Tyler Farrar had won the third stage. Vaughters said he received the following note from Kerry on Sunday after stage 2: “Congratulations on a terrific showing today. It was really fun to watch you guys set pace, focused and disciplined and to listen to your exhortations. Hope to get over, maybe towards the end (of the Tour). All the best, John Kerry.” EVANS FEARS THIN ROADS: Cadel Evans is worried that the roads at the Tour de France are getting a bit too thin and dangerous. The two-time Tour runner-up was in third place overall after Monday’s third stage, but he was concerned about the lacy bends near the end of the route

“This has been a horrible last two months with everything that happened in the Giro,” Farrar said. “I’ve had a lot of ups and downs. But in the end, I wanted to be able to come back, and do something special to pay tribute, and this is certainly the biggest stage in the world to do that.” Farrar, a sprint specialist from Wenatchee, Wash., who rides for Garmin-Cervelo, sped ahead in the last few hundred yards of the 123-mile course from Olonne-surMer to Redon to win the third stage. He has now won a stage in each of cycling’s three-week major tours — France, Italy and Spain. The previous American to win a Tour de France stage was Levi Leipheimer, who in 2007 was first in the individual time trial in Angouleme. “I certainly would have taken it on any day,” Farrar said. “But as an American, winning on the Fourth of July, it’s the icing on the cake. ... Lucky me.” Norway’s Thor Hushovd kept the Tour de France’s yellow jersey. Hushovd, however, is a sprint specialist and is not expected to hold his lead through the moun-

from Olonne-sur-Mer to Redon. “It was a nervous, dangerous stage with a fair bit of wind in the final,” Evans said. “It seems they use more and more narrow roads in the Tour. It’s great for excitement but puts the risk rating up a bit high.” The Australian, who was the Tour runner-up in 2007 and ’08, thanked veteran teammate George Hincapie for keeping him safe on the roads. “Fortunately, George and Marcus (Burghardt) kept me in front most of the time.” The 34-year-old Evans will get a chance to test his climbing legs in Tuesday’s fourth stage, which he should relish as it features a final climb with an average gradient of 6.9 percent and some sections at 15 percent. AMERICAN RIDERS: Ten American riders celebrated Independence Day on the roads of the Tour de France. It is the most American riders in the race in 25 years. Veterans like BMC’s George Hincapie and RadioShack’s Chris Horner were among the U.S. riders taking stock of the bumper crop from America this year — and looking to some promising young compatriot competitors. “Ten Americans at the Tour de France just shows you how much the sport has grown in the U.S.,” said Hincapie, riding in his 16th Tour. “You know people are really starting to realize what a grueling sport this is, and starting to respect it.” tains in the second and third weeks. The top of the standings didn’t change much after the mostly flat trip into western Brittany that included a ride on a wind-swept suspension bridge over the famed Loire River. It was during the third stage of another race — the Giro in Italy on May 9 — when Weylandt clipped a wall on a steep descent. He fell off his bike and slammed his head on the ground, dying almost instantly. It was the first death of a rider at one of the major tours in 16 years. Jonathan Vaughters, the Garmin-Cervelo team manager, said that from the time Farrar was 15 years old Weylandt was his best friend. “He was almost two weeks without riding his bike at all, and sleeping 20 hours every day, and just totally, totally, totally demoralized,” he said. “But then he started training.” Farrar rode in the weeklong Dauphine Libere in France and the lesser-known Ster ZLM Tour in June. Vaughters said that was a “bit of a risk.” “It was probably the heaviest racing program of any sprinter,” he said. “But we had to do it as an emergency to get him going because he had taken so much time off, which was understandable.

The pack crosses Saint Nazaire bridge crossing Loire river during the third stage of the Tour de France over 123 miles, starting in Olonne sur Mer, Vendee region, and finishing in Redon, Brittany, western France, Monday.

Tyler Farrar, among the world’s best sprinters, became the first American rider to win a Tour stage on July 4 when he won Monday’s third stage. GOING GREEN: Mark Cavendish was disqualified from an intermediate sprint during Monday’s third stage of the Tour, dealing a blow to his hopes of winning the green jersey as the best sprinter in the race. The HTC-Highroad cyclist from the Isle of Man crossed the

intermediate sprint line in sixth place during a stage tailor-made for sprinters, but race officials ruled he shouldn’t have used his head to push Thor Hushovd, who had deviated from his line. Hushovd, who currently leads the race, was also disqualified from the sprint. “Just discovered Thor & I have been disqualified from the intermediate sprint today. Seriously no idea why?” Cavendish said on Twitter.

But it got him in shape.” Vaughters said he wasn’t going to push Farrar to ride again, adding that he would have understood if the 27-year-old American decided to wait until next year to race again. “I simply said: ‘Tyler when you are ready, we are ready to support you.”’ he said. “That simple, really.” Farrar gave Garmin-Cervelo a second straight victory following a win in Sunday’s time trial that left Hushovd with the yellow shirt. Overall, Hushovd leads teammate David Millar of Britain, in second, by a split second. Cadel Evans of Australia of BMC is third, a second back. Three-time Tour champion Alberto Contador, who lost time Saturday after becoming entangled in a crash, is 69th — 1:42 behind the Norwegian. Others looking to contend for the title on the Champs-Elysees on July 24 include 2010 runnerup Andy Schleck of Luxembourg and Bradley Wiggins of Britain. Schleck is eighth overall and Wiggins is 10th, each four seconds off the lead. In Monday’s final dash, the HTC-Highroad team of British sprint star Mark Cavendish lined up near the 2.4-mile mark to escort him to the finish line. But by the last few hundred yards, Hush-

ovd and Farrar had zoomed ahead. “To have the world champion and yellow jersey work for you to launch the sprint, it’s crazy,” Farrar said. The American nosed ahead of France’s Romain Feillu, who was second, and Spain’s Jose Joaquin Rojas, who was third. Farrar and a pack all had the same time: 4 hours, 40 minutes, 21 seconds. Five breakaway riders jumped out early in the stage from the coastal town of Olonne-sur-Mer, building a lead of as much as 8 minutes, 5 seconds by the 46mile mark. The fast-moving pack reeled them all in with 5.5 miles to go. Hushovd could be pressured for the lead as soon as today when the pack travels 107 miles from Lorient to Mur de Bretagne with a super-steep,1.2-mile uphill finish. For now, Garmin is reveling in two straight days of success on the Tour. “Just keep drinking champagne, as long as my liver can handle it,” Vaughters said. And about the Independence Day win? “Yeah, an American winning on Fourth of July, that’s pretty good — I just thought of that,” he said. “We’re going to have to read the Constitution in the bus or something.”

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Wild have been searching for the kind of dynamic goal scorer who can put the puck in the net in the blink of an eye, a player who won’t hesitate to let a shot rip from anywhere in the opposing goaltender’s zip code, ever since Marian Gaborik left in 2009. Here comes Dany Heatley, who never met a shot on goal he didn’t like, determined to show the rest of the league he can still light the lamp with the best of them. The Wild landed Heatley from San Jose on Sunday night, sending forward Marty Havlat to the Sharks in a straight-up swap of two 30-year-old wingers. Heatley said Monday he was excited to be coming to Minnesota and couldn’t wait to prove that last year’s sub-par season was a fluke. “As a goal scorer and a player, you want to be that guy,” Heatley said. Heatley had back-to-back 50goal seasons in 2005-06 and 2006-07 for the Ottawa Senators, but finished with only 26 goals last season for the Sharks. Heatley played a month and a

ing to win, he just ran the best he could to the finish line. Rome, the promising 15-yearold from Dallas, won the female division in 17:47. She outdistanced second-place finisher, Deedra Porfirio, 34, of West Pittston, by 32 seconds. Marina Orrson, 20, of Shavertown, who runs for Wadas’ team at Misericordia, finished third, six seconds behind Porfirio. “I went out a little too fast,” said Rome, who will be a sophomore at Dallas High School in the fall. “I’m not happy with my time. I’m still excited about winning. I’m happy about that.” Rome had hoped to run in the low 17s. “But my time here today is around the same as my time in this race last year,” she said. “And I’m not at all happy with that.” Rome actually ran last year’s race three seconds faster, finishing in third place behind two of the area’s best runners (Heidi Peoples, who was a 12-time All American at Moravian College, then running under her maiden name, Wolfsberger; and Kelly Ciravolo, the area’s premiere triathlete). But on this Fourth of July the humidity was just too tough. Christine Snarski, 29, of Kingston won the 3 Mile Racewalk in 30:55. And James Langan, 12, of Wilkes-Barre, led a field of about 50 runners in the Kid’s Fun Run.

half with a broken hand and said he had several other nagging injuries that held him back. “Last year Heatley wasn’t the greatest year for me personally, but I’m looking forward to getting back there,” Heatley said. After the Sharks flamed out in the playoffs yet again, San Jose GM Doug Wilson was looking to switch things up. He found a willing partner in Wild GM Chuck Fletcher, whose team has missed the playoffs in both of his seasons as the team’s top executive. Fletcher fired coach Todd Richards, replacing him with the Houston Aeros’ Mike Yeo, and then sent All-Star defenseman Brent Burns to the Sharks for a package that included 24-yearold goal scorer Devin Setoguchi on draft night. Fletcher said the biggest priority heading into the offseason was injecting some juice into a team that finished 30th in the league in shots on goal and had too many players who were better suited to passing and setting up others than finishing the plays themselves.

Djokovic’s proudest moment? Putting lone loss in the past

Edwards keeping mum on contract situation

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — Novak Djokovic is on the path to greatness, and one way to fully grasp that is to focus not on his many successes but instead on a setback. Indeed, for all of his accomplishments already in 2011 — rising to the No. 1 ranking Monday; two Grand Slam titles, including a victory over Rafael Nadal in the Wimbledon final Sunday; $7.5 million in prize money; a 48-1 record — what Djokovic himself relishes the most is how he set aside his lone loss. He was unbeaten in 43 matches, dating to the Davis Cup final in December, until that run ended against 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer in four sets in last month’s French Open semifinals. Djokovic could have been devastated. He could have gone into a tailspin. But after taking a brief break, he returned to the tour at Wimbledon and started a new winning streak. “I’m proud of many things, to be honest, in this moment, but something that comes up to my mind is after having an incredible run, an incredible year up to Roland Garros, and then losing that really epic semifinal against Federer — a great match — I managed to recover and to come back in a great style and to win Wimbledon for the first time in my life,” Djokovic said Monday morning at the All England Club during a 10-minute interview with two reporters. “I think that’s something that I maybe wasn’t managing to do in the past,” he added, “and right now, I am able to mentally switch off and just recover quickly and look to the next challenge.” The key, Djokovic explained, was that he didn’t allow himself to get too low after losing to Federer. That was a problem for Djokovic in the past, such as when he went through what he called “a crisis” during the first half of 2010. He lost in the quarterfinals at the Australian Open and French Open — both times frittering away substantial leads — and in one stretch played in five consecutive tournaments without ever winning more than three matches in a row. He dwelled on those defeats. “But now I just didn’t allow myself to get to that position anymore, because it’s just not worth it. It’s sport. You win;

Djokovic new No. 1; Serena Williams drops to 175th WIMBLEDON, England — Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic rose to No. 1 in the ATP rankings for the first time Monday, while Serena Williams dropped to 175th on the WTA list, her lowest spot since 1997. Djokovic officially moved up from No. 2 one day after beating previously top-ranked Rafael Nadal 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 for his first title at the All England Club. It’s the first time in nearly 71⁄2 years that a man other than Nadal or Roger Federer is ranked No. 1. “Times are changing,” the 24-year-old Djokovic said Monday. “It’s good for the sport, I think, to have some new faces.” Federer first took the top place on Feb. 2, 2004, and he or Nadal had been No. 1 every week since then. Federer spent a total of 285 weeks there, one week short of Pete Sampras’ record. Nadal’s latest stay began June 7, 2010, the day after he won last year’s French Open. “They have made me improve,” Djokovic said. “They have made me a better player.” Djokovic had been No. 2 since March. But he surged past Nadal by going 48-1 with eight titles so far in 2011, including Grand Slam trophies at the Australian Open and Wimbledon. When Djokovic arrived at the All England Club on Monday morning for a series of interviews, the ATP presented him with a cake shaped like a “1” in the red, blue and white colors of Serbia’s flag. He is the first man from that country to be No. 1 since the ATP introduced computer rankings in 1973. Djokovic is the 25th player to reach No. 1.

you lose,” Djokovic said Monday. “And I have played good (against Federer). I didn’t have anything to regret, because the (other) player was better that day. So I just needed to sleep, get some rest and come here and perform my best. And I have done that.” Among the things on the 24-year-old Serb’s career “To Do” list now are adding championships at the two major tournaments he hasn’t won — the French Open and the U.S. Open, where he was the runnerup to Federer in 2007, and to Nadal last year — and a prolonged stay at No. 1.

Novak Djokovic reacts as he lifts up the Wimbledon trophy in Belgrade, Serbia, Monday. Djokovic received a rapturous welcome in Serbia following his triumph at Wimbledon and on his first day as the world’s top-ranked tennis player.

“This is what I’m made for: I want to win. I’m a professional. I want to win more majors, more titles,” he said. “Obviously, the U.S. Open is the next big thing.” As well as he’s playing currently, Djokovic still sees room to work on his game, particularly his serve and getting to the net more frequently. He pointed to Nadal — the man he replaced atop the ATP rankings — as someone who’s set an example by constantly figuring out ways to get better. As it is, the stroke that Djokovic has improved the most this season is his serve. In Sunday’s 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 victory over Nadal, for example, Djokovic didn’t face a single break point in either of the first two sets. But the area in which Djokovic has made the most strides over the past year is his selfbelief, something he and those around him say received a big boost when he helped Serbia beat France for the 2010 Davis Cup title. “He realized lots of things,” Djokovic’s mother, Dijana, said Sunday about those matches in Belgrade. “You know, he matured, and then he start to play as he play now.” France led the best-of-five series 2-1 when Djokovic faced top-10 player Gael Monfils on the final day. If Monfils had won that match, France would have clinched the trophy. But Djokovic won in straight sets, and Serbia went on to win its first Davis Cup. “I proved to myself that I can really play like this, you know,

on the big stage, under big pressure, in big events, the same way,” Djokovic said. And that’s exactly what he’s managed to do, over and over and over. “I do experience that very high confidence level that I have. And I do experience that I’m mentally stronger than ever,” Djokovic said. “So probably that gives me a slight advantage over my opponents.” Even the best opponents. After entering 2011 with a 39-50 record against top-10 players, Djokovic is 14-1 against them this year. That includes a 5-0 mark against 10-time major champion Nadal, all in tournament finals, and on three different surfaces. It also includes a 3-1 mark against Federer. And, perhaps most impressively, a perfect turnaround after the only blemish on an otherwise perfect season. Only 19 hours after crouching down on Centre Court to pluck and eat a few blades of grass, Djokovic said he hadn’t had time to digest everything he’s done. “I’m still euphoric. I’m still on an adrenaline rush. I’m still under great joy of winning Wimbledon and of having a magnificent season so far. I have Davis Cup coming up this weekend, and then after that, I have two weeks of rest. And then, I guess, when I go down to the beach, leave my racket in the room and then just close my eyes in the sun,” Djokovic said with a chuckle, “I’ll probably reflect on everything that happened.”

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carl Edwards is no longer NASCAR’s points leader, his 10-week streak at the top snapped by an early accident at Daytona International Speedway. The 37th-place finish Saturday night wasn’t his fault, and Edwards and his Roush Fenway Racing team earned a ton of respect by gutting it out through several rounds of repairs and a stretch in which it grew so hot in the car, Edwards was begging his crew to douse his cockpit with water. “We don’t ever give up and that’s the thing. I told my guys to keep their heads up,” he said after the race. “We’ll take this bad day and keep our pride. In the big picture, it doesn’t mean much, but there is a lot of pride in leading those points, so we’ll try to get that points lead back.” Then Edwards talked of strategy, lessons learned and motivation. What he didn’t discuss was his future. Edwards is the biggest free agent in this year’s class, and he’s been determined to not let his contract negotiations play out in public. If he could, he said two weeks ago, he’d wait until the end of the season to figure out his 2012 plans because dealing with it now doesn’t appear to be high on his list of priorities. But waiting isn’t possible, not when Edwards represents the largest piece of the free agent puzzle. Far too much depends on his decision, particularly at RFR, the team that gave the substitute teacher from Missouri a full-time Trucks Series ride back in 2003. He was 23 years old, trying to claw his way into a decent NASCAR job, when Jack Roush gave Edwards the life-changing chance. He was in the Cup series 23 races into the next season as a replacement for Jeff Burton, a longtime Roush man who left midseason for a fresh start elsewhere. Edwards pumped some life into a team stuck in a nearly three-year winless streak with three top-10s in his first four starts, and he was a bonafide star by his 17th career Cup start, when he landed his first celebratory backflip following his breakthrough win at Atlanta. Here we are now, seven years and 19 wins later, waiting for Edwards’ second major contract negotiation. He took all the calls from team owners the last time around, but landed right back with Roush, with an expensive extension that made him one of NASCAR’s highest paid drivers. Now Edwards is apparently again listening to outside offers,

and that apparently includes a pretty lucrative one from Joe Gibbs Racing. The team has room to add a fourth car, or Edwards could use Edwards to replace Joey Logano and help longtime sponsor Home Depot feel like it can compete with rival Lowe’s string of five consecutive championships with Jimmie Johnson. Denny Hamlin, who nearly knocked off Johnson last season, thinks Edwards would be a very nice fit at JGR. But unlike previous years, when Hamlin said he was used in a failed recruiting effort of Dale Earnhardt Jr., he’s not been asked to reach out to Edwards. “I hear what everybody is saying, but nobody has said anything to me that I’d consider to be a strong indication,” Hamlin said. “In the past, they’d asked me to talk to Junior, or another driver they wanted to sign, but there’s been nothing at all on Edwards. Nobody has said a word to me or asked me to do anything.” That doesn’t mean that JGR doesn’t want Edwards, but team president J.D. Gibbs learned everything from his dad, the former Washington Redskins coach, and both men tend to guard their words as if the Dallas Cowboys themselves might use everything against them.

Auburn oaks still hanging on, but fate is uncertain AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — The ailing oaks at Toomer’s Corner are a mottled mix of yellow and brown these days, but experts say there’s still a chance the trees will be in good enough shape for Auburn football fans to roll them with toilet paper after wins this fall. It’s been about five months since school officials confirmed that the fa-

BOXING

Activist group: Ex-Olympic boxer wounded in Syria BEIRUT (AP) — A Syrian boxer who won a medal at the 2004 Olympics was injured along with at least 20 others Monday as President Bashar Assad’s regime swept through several cities and towns to crush a pro-democracy uprising, activists said. Nasser al-Shami, a heavyweight who shared the bronze medal in Athens, was in stable condition after being hit by shotgun pellets in the city of Hama, said Rami Abdul-Rahman, the London-based director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. Abdul-Rahman said he spoke to the doctor who treated the athlete. Syrian troops and tanks sealed off Hama and blocked the roads leading in, an apparent attempt to crush growing dissent there and retake the city one month after security forces withdrew. About 300,000 protesters held huge protests against the regime in Hama last week, a sign the city was spiraling out of government control.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

Plenty at stake for U.S. against Sweden By NANCY ARMOUR AP National Writer

WOLFSBURG, Germany — Rest is nice, winning is better. The United States plays Sweden in the group stage finale at the Women’s World Cup on Wednesday, a game that would seem to have little importance with both teams already through to the quarterfinals. But there is plenty still at stake for the Americans, starting with the bragging rights — and everything that comes with them — for winning the group. “We go for a win,” U.S. coach Pia Sundhage said Monday. “Absolutely.” The two-time World Cup champions need only a tie against Sweden to win Group C and likely avoid a quarterfinal matchup with Brazil. The Group C winner plays the second-place team in Group D, likely Australia or Norway, while the Group C runner-up gets the Group D winner. Brazil, runner-up in 2007 and at the last two Olympics, needs only a draw against World Cup newcomer Equatorial Guinea to

win Group D. “I can safely say that there’s not going to be one player or person or staff member from the United States that’s going to say, ‘We want a tie,”’ Abby Wambach said. “We want to win this game because we want to keep the momentum going forward. Obviously, you have to be smart. We want to get some of those 90-minute players some rest if we can do that. But first and foremost, we want to make sure and secure the first place out of this group.” The United States is 18-4-7 against Sweden, including a 3-0 record in the World Cup. But Sweden beat the U.S. 2-1 in January, one of three losses in a fivemonth span after the Americans had gone more than two years without a loss. Since arriving in Germany, however, the U.S. has had little resemblance to the team that struggled just to get there. Only Japan

(six) has scored more than the five goals the Americans had in their first two games. France also has five goals. Though Wambach and fellow forward Amy Rodriguez have yet to score, the U.S. is getting production from an abundance of players and places. Five different players have scored, including defender Rachel Buehler. “We know that we’re entertaining people,” goalkeeper Hope Solo said. “We’re not just winning games. You can see that swagger back in the U.S. team whether it’s the way we celebrate goals, whether it’s the way you can see we’re enjoying the game again. It’s not just that hard-fought, ’blood and guts glorified’ game. It’s the game we love.” Sweden, meanwhile, had tougher than expected games against both Colombia and North Korea, and will be without captain Caroline Seger. The midfielder is suspended after picking up her second yellow card Saturday against North Korea. Sundhage will have to keep a close eye on Wambach, who is carrying a yellow card and would

miss the quarterfinals if she gets another. But Sundhage will be watching her entire lineup closely. While winning the game is the priority, Sundhage has been preaching a “21 players” mantra.

Reds minor league club will sell out its 815th straight game Saturday. By JOE KAY AP Baseball Writer

DAYTON, Ohio — Don Campbell has attended 600 Dayton Dragons games, cheering on the Class A team from a front-row seat next to the home dugout. He knows what to expect. Friendly ushers and ballpark staff. Amusing fan contests during the 90 seconds between innings. A chance to see some of the Cincinnati Reds’ up-and-coming players learn their craft. Then, after the last out, he’ll encounter the team’s executives waiting at the gate. “When you leave the game, they’re out there greeting people and thanking you for coming,” said Campbell, a 62-year-old retiree. They keep coming back to Fifth Third Field — in record numbers. The Dragons will sell out their 815th consecutive home game on Saturday, setting a record for a professional team in North America, according to the team’s research. With their 7,230 seats filled and hundreds more fans reclining on a grassy hill beyond the outfield wall, they’ll pass the Portland Trail Blazers’ mark from 1977-95. “I know it will be a source of pride,” team President Robert Murphy said. “It’s no secret that things in and around the Dayton region have been difficult the last couple of years. It’s also a city of perseverance. People love this community. This is something they’re proud of.” It wasn’t always that way. The southwest Ohio city had mixed feelings about building a ballpark in a run-down area downtown. Only 57 miles from the Reds’ ballpark, there were questions about how a team would fare. It’s turned into an unprecedented success, built on an old-fashioned business model that works very well for the Dragons: Being passionate about people. Since sharing a cab ride to scout out the downtown site in 1998, Murphy and Executive Vice President Eric Deutsch have banked on fan friendliness, employee loyalty and marketing creativity. The formula works — Dayton led not only all Class A leagues in attendance last season, but all of Double-A as well. They do it by making fans feel they’re the stars. The club puts a lot of money and effort into keeping fans happy — what businesses refer to as customer service. Season tickets arrived in team collectibles. Ticket holders get red-carpet treatment. The ballpark staff makes sure fans feel appreciated.

As in, it will take all 21 on the squad to win the World Cup. She put Lori Lindsey into the starting lineup against Colombia and gave Shannon Boxx a break. She’s already gotten World Cup rookies Alex Morgan and Tobin Heath

onto the field as subs, and found a way to get high-energy Megan Rapinoe significant playing time. Knowing the Americans are already into the quarterfinals would allow Sundhage to work a few more players into the mix. Or give a breather to those players who get the bulk of the minutes or are already nursing some aches and pains. Wambach (Achilles) and Heather O’Reilly (groin) both sat out practice Monday as a precaution. “We don’t have to force anything which is good,” Sundhage said. “It would be totally different if this was a game that would take us to the quarterfinals but it’s not. We have a chance to play probably some different players.” As long as it doesn’t get in the way of the main objective, that is. “We want to get a good result against Sweden, we want to play well,” Wambach said. “That’s the thing. We want to keep playing well, performing to our potential because we’re going to continue to get better as the tournament goes on and, hopefully, we’ll come into the championship game playing our best.”

field gap and was then sacrificed to third by Greg Golson. Bernier then scored on an RBI double to left off the bat of Mike Lamb. “We had a lot of fans tonight, and it was good to be home after that long road trip,” Golson said. “Were chasing those guys (Lehigh Valley) so we wanted to put our best foot forward.” Jordan Parraz then reached on an infield single as the ball deflected off the glove of Lehigh Valley starting pitcher Tim Redding. Terry Tiffee then drove in Lamb from third, giving the Yankees a 2-1 lead. Next, Jorge Vazquez roped a line drive single to left field. Brandon Moss came charging in trying to make the catch, but the ball bounce past him and went all the way to the left-field wall, allowing both Parraz and Tiffee to score and putting the Yankees up 4-1. “Vazquez has been a big part of our season period,” Scranton/Wilkes-Barre manager Dave Miley said. “I told him multiple times it was nice to

Mulhern and Len Coleman, who finished with a 68. The two teams were back out on the course Monday to complete the last 13 holes of a special playoff that was interrupted by rain on Sunday. The playoff was necessary after the two teams finished three days of play tied over a week ago.

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 match-winning putts and the match was called due to darkness.

have him back and he feels good so he will be back in there tomorrow.” The Yankees extended their lead to 5-2 in the bottom half of the fourth inning. Luis Nunez, Bernier and Golson hit consecutive singles. Nunez scored on Golson’s single. The IronPigs got one back in the top half of the fifth inning. Tagg Bozied lined a leadoff triple just under the glove of a diving Jordan Parraz in right field. Cody Overbeck then hit a sacrifice fly to the warning track in center field. The IronPigs cut the Yankee lead to just 5-3 in the top half of the ninth. Rich Thompson led off the inning with a bunt single down the third base line. He then scored on a double off the bat off the bat of Josh Barfield. Barfield then advanced to third on a sacrifice fly to center off the bat of Mayberry Jr. However, Yankee reliever Logan Kensing struck out Brandon Moss and then got Tagg Bozied to ground out to short to end the game. Hall was terrific for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in his Triple-A debut. The southpaw went 6 1/3 innings allowing just two runs on five hits, while

striking out three IronPigs and walking none. “I talked to Montero and he told me he hits his spots good and can throw every pitch for a strike,” Gustavo Molina said. “He hit the corners and got the ball down for the most part. He pitched very well tonight.” Former Scranton/WilkesBarre pitcher Tim Redding suffered the loss for the IronPigs. He went five innings, allowing four earned runs on 10 hits. He struck out three and walked just one. The Yankees improved to 4538 and are now just 3 ½ games behind the IronPigs in the International League North standings. “It’s awesome just knowing we can go into the second half and have a lead on these guys and possibly even win the division,” Golson said. The Yankees and the IronPigs will play the final game of the short two game series at 7:05 tonight at PNC Field. Yankee Notes The New York Yankees have optioned outfielder Chris Dickerson to Scranton/WilkesBarre. In 31 games for New York, Dickerson hit for an average of .300 with 3 RBI in 21 at bats.

as the game went on.” Josh Tomlin (10-4), who carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, allowed two runs and three hits and improved to 7-1 at home this season. The Indians’ right-hander also became the first pitcher since 1919 to go at least five innings in each of his first 29 career appearances. “He was able to hold down that amazing lineup,” Indians manager Manny Acta said. “He doesn’t back down from anybody.” Carlos Santana hit a two-run homer in the eighth for Cleveland, finally back home after a nine-game interleague trip. Chris Perez pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his 20th save in 21 tries as the Indians improved to 25-14 at Progressive Field, which was sold out for the third time in 2011. Curtis Granderson hit his 23rd homer for the Yankees, who have lost two straight after a sevengame winning streak. Following the game, manager Joe Girardi revealed that closer Mariano Rivera was not available because of a sore triceps muscle. Both Girardi and Rivera downplayed the discomfort. “I’m not concerned at all,” the 41-year-old Rivera said. “It was sore today. I got a lot of treatment. Hopefully, I’ll be able to pitch tomorrow.” Trying to become the first pitcher in 53 years to no-hit the Yankees by himself, Tomlin retired 18 straight entering the seventh and was poised to deliver a

Gabrielle Volpetti led Rock Solid with 15 points. Alexis Lewis had 11 and Lydia Lawson and Allie Barber each had eight points. In opening-round play on Sunday, Rock Solid lost to the defending champions from Fairfax, Va., 55-18.

Rivera has sore triceps muscle CLEVELAND — New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera was not available for Monday night’s 6-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians because of a sore right triceps muscle. Yankees manager Joe Girardi revealed Rivera’s condition following the game. He said Rivera told him before the game that he was sore after blowing a save on Sunday against the Mets. Girardi said there are no current plans for Rivera to undergo medical tests. Rivera said he’s not “concerned at all” and hopes to be able to pitch Tuesday. Girardi said he would have used right-hander David Robertson had there been a save situation in the series opener against the Indians. The 41-year-old Rivera is 1-1 with 21 saves in 25 chances and a 1.91 ERA in 35 appearances.

Fourth of July spectacular to a rare sellout crowd that included roughly 15,000 very vocal Yankees fans. However, Mark Teixeira broke up Tomlin’s no-hit bid with a leadoff single to center. Tomlin buckled down and struck out Alex Rodriguez before Robinson Cano reached on a lucky infield single that caromed off the plate and stayed fair as it dribbled down the third-base line. Cano laughed as he crossed first base. Nick Swisher followed by jumping on the first pitch and splitting the outfielders with a double that rolled to the wall, scoring Teixeira and Cano to make it 2-0. Burnett couldn’t hold the lead.

The Independence Day holiday weekend may be over, but summer-like weather is here to stay. Temperatures will climb into the mid to upper 80s today under near-full sunshine. Clouds and showers will plague areas south of the Mason-Dixon line, but around here conditions will remain dry right through late tomorrow. Humidity levels will remain comforable today, but that changes tomorrow as more soupy air returns. Nighttime lows will continue to fall into the 50s as skies remain clear. Our extended outlook shows afternoon highs sticking in the 80s to even near 90 at times over the next week. -Ryan Coyle

Area businesses offer alternatives for celiac sufferers By JOE DOLINSKY

Times Leader Correspondent

ost people would admit there is nothing like biting into a warm cut of pizza and a cold mug of beer on a Friday night.

And if you have lived in the area long enough, you’d be hard pressed to avoid a pizzeria in your travels. However, as increasing numbers of diagnoses grow, those suffering from celiac disease find themselves unable to enjoy this simple fare. Celiac disease is a genetic disorder which affects children and adults. When an individual with CD digests gluten it causes the villi, tiny hairs that line the small intestine, to become damaged. Reactions can vary. Some sufferers can experience digestive discomfort, fatigue

and cramping. Other more serious effects can be full body rashes, violent vomiting and sharp stomach pains. Gluten is a broad term given to certain proteins contained in grains such as See GLUTEN, Page 3C

Don’t let air travel ground you By ALISON JOHNSON Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Summer flights are on their way, along with the germs that ride along. Follow these tips to “put the odds overwhelmingly in your favor of not catching a cold or the flu,” says Dr. Mark Gendreau, an air-travel expert and vice chair of emergency medicine at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Mass.: • Drink lots of water. Nasal membranes — an important barrier against germs — don’t work as well if they dry out. Keep in mind that the air on planes is very low in humidity. • Use saline nasal spray. Sprays can increase how rapidly the tiny hairs that line nasal passages beat back and forth to expel germs. They also help keep membranes in the eyes, nose and mouth moist. • Carry hand sanitizer. Buy products that contain at least 60 percent alcohol and clean your hands frequently, especially before

touching your face. Since germs can linger in public restrooms, it’s a good idea to use sanitizer even after washing with soap and water. • Wipe down trays and seat handles. Both can be contaminated with dangerous germs such as drug-resistant bacteria. Clean with alcohol-based hand sanitizer or an antibacterial wipe. • Increase the ventilation at your seat. Saliva droplets from sneezing, coughing and even conversation can fly up to six feet in the air and rain down on nearby passengers. Turn the vent above your seat to medium flow and position it so the current moves just slightly in front of your face. • Consult your doctor. People who are pregnant, battling a serious respiratory infection, undergoing chemotherapy or taking an immunosuppressant are at higher risk for complications from an infection and may need to take extra precautions.

Q: I’ve noticed that ears seem to get bigger with age. Is that true, and if so, why might that be so? — G.F., Huntsville, Ala. A: It’s not your imagination. Ears do get bigger with age. Not only does the cartilage in the ear continue to grow lengthwise (but not with increasing width) throughout our lifetime, but the earlobe elongates and sags due to years of gravity. A British study published in the Dec. 23, 1995, issue of the British Medical Journal studied 206 patients over time and found that our ears elongate by 0.22 mm per year. Another study determined that the average ear length is 2.04 inches at birth, and 3.07 inches in length in men at age 70 and 2.83 inches in length in women at age 70. Nobody really knows the exact reason why ear cartilage continues to grow throughout our lifetime. Another odd fact is that your nose also gets longer with advancing age due to the effects of gravity. Q: Two days ago when I went to a clinic for severe foot pain, my blood pressure was 176/104. My doctor assures me that blood pressure spiking under stress or pain is normal and doesn’t need to be treated. What is the up-to-date thinking on this subject? — K.M., Downingtown, Pa. A: If your blood pressure is elevated for sustained periods on a daily basis, it should be treated. A sudden rise in blood pressure because of acute pain, anxiety or strenuous physical exertion isn’t hypertension, as long as it rapidly returns to normal. In the doctor’s office, we see these rises in blood pressure in folks who are nervous or rushed. It’s called “white coat syndrome,” in reference to the doctor’s white coat. I find that giving patients a “friendly” magazine to read for a few minutes can distract and relax them enough to bring the pressure down to its baseline. Keep in mind that folks with white coat syndrome may still have underlying high blood pressure. What should your blood pressure be? According to the American Heart Association, the upper “systolic” number should ideally be less than 120 (120-139 is borderline high; 140 or higher is high); the lower “diastolic” number should be less than 80 (80-89 is borderline high; 90 or higher is high). I’d recommend that you monitor your blood pressure outside the doctor’s office: At home and at work, when you’re stressed and when you’re relaxed. Keep a diary of the time, your state of mind and your activity. That’ll help you and your doctor determine if you’ve got hypertension. Dr. Mitchell Hecht is a physician specializing in internal medicine. Send questions to him at: “Ask Dr. H,” P.O. Box 767787, Atlanta, GA 30076. Personal replies are not possible.

Pamper your pet through the dog days of summer By SUE MANNING

IN BRIEF Skin screenings offered The Greater Hazleton Health Alliance, in conjunction with Dr. Kathleen Veglia, will host a free skin screening from 2 to 4 p.m. on July 12 at the 15th Street Cancer Treatment Center. Registration is required. Call 501-6204 to register.

Associated Press

Ready for your dog’s days of summer? Everybody seems to have a list of tips. Most are no-brainers. Don’t leave dogs in hot cars or let them walk on hot asphalt, play too hard or get too much sun. Apply flea and tick repellents, and if you’re in a mosquito-prone area, talk to your vet about heartworm prevention pills. Take dogs on walks early or late to avoid midday heat and provide ample drinking water. that some beds spring leaks (or are chewed by dogs). Food: No food will keep your dog cooler, but food helps keep body temperature up, so dogs may not need to eat as much in the summer. If your dog stays at a dogfriendly hotel with you or at a kennel, consider bringing food from home. A change in diet can cause diarrhea. Barbecues and picnics are a veterinarian’s nightmare. Keep pets in the house or on a leash to prevent them from being fed or lapping up things that are bad for them, whether it’s spilled alcohol or onion dip. Onions, garlic, grapes, raisins and chocolate are the most toxic foods for dogs. Vacations: Dogs can get carsick if they’re not used to driving, so go for small trips before a road trip. On boats, consider a doggie life vest. Protect the dog from gasoline and other toxic products. At the beach, provide drinking water so the dog does not drink salt water. On planes, if your pet is small enough, keep it in the cabin with you. Call ahead because some airlines limit animals per flight. Be prepared to pay a fee and check on necessary paperwork.

MS series continues Dr. Douglas Nathanson, a multiple sclerosis specialist at Geisinger Health System, will continue his five-part MS education series at 6 p.m. on July 13 at the East Mountain Inn, Plains Township. The program is free. To make a reservation, contact Christie Edwards at 808-7330 or cledwards@geisinger.edu. Medics slate open house Geisinger’s Life Flight 3 based in Avoca will hold an open house from 1 to 4 p.m. on July 17 at the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center West entrance parking lot, 1000 E. Mountain Drive, Plains Township. The event is free and will be held rain or shine. For more information, call Lisa Weston at 271-6217.

Animal groomer Ana Sondall gives her client Bodie a summer cut at Petco in the Van Nuys section of Los Angeles. A dog’s coat is like insulation, warding off cold in the winter and heat in the summer. Trim, but don’t give your dog a crew cut or such a close shave that it takes away that protection. Dogs can get sunburn and skin cancer, so never cut fur shorter than an inch.

If your dog must fly as cargo, note that the U.S. Department of Transportation says short-faced breeds like pugs and bulldogs die during air transport at much higher rates than other breeds. If you’re boarding your dog, remember that many kennels require proof of vaccines such as rabies and kennel cough. Lawns: Some lawn products are toxic to dogs and cats. Weed killers and herbicides are the worst — some cause cancer. Some fertilizers are also toxic. All a dog or cat has to do is walk on the lawn and lick its paws to be exposed. In 2010, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center received more than 4,000 calls related to

garden toxins. These include herbicides, plants (hydrangea, tulips, azaleas, lilies), insecticides, mushrooms, fertilizers and cocoa mulch. Overheating: Recognize overheating if you see it — excessive panting, difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, seizures, and elevated body temperatures over 104 degrees. “A lot of dogs will just keep running until they drop because they have so much heart and so much energy,” said Murray. “You have to be proactive.” Animals with flat faces, like pugs and Persian cats, are more susceptible to heat stroke since they cannot pant as effectively.

Sponge the animal with lukewarm water and seek veterinary care if you suspect overheating. Windows: Murray’s clinic sees two or three pets a week that have fallen or jumped from apartment windows, roofs, balconies or fire escapes. Multiple limb fractures or potentially deadly internal or brain injuries often result. Use window screens, open windows from the top instead of the bottom, consider child-safety window guards.

But there are other risks that come with heat, vacations and outdoor play. Here are some ways to keep dogs healthy and comfortable this summer, with tips from veterinarian Louise Murray, vice president of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital in New York City. Grooming: A dog’s coat is like insulation, warding off cold in the winter and heat in the summer. Trim, but don’t give your dog a crew cut or such a close shave that it takes away that protection. Dogs get sunburn and skin cancer, so never cut fur shorter than an inch. (In some breeds, even an inch is too short.) Dogs shed more in summer, so brush to get rid of extra fur along with fur that’s matted from water play. Heat Relief: Most pets find cool, shady spots to lie down, but some, especially animals that are overweight or can’t tolerate heat, might benefit from cooling beds, mats or vests. The mats get filled with water, which mixes with a high-tech gel to create a cool, waterbed-like cushion. Consumer reviews are generally positive but caution

wheat, rye, and barley and can be found in everything from cereal to pasta. Gluten is also found in most types of beer. According to the Celiac Disease Foundation, one out of every 133 people in the United States is diagnosed with celiac disease. Each faces challenges finding and enjoying favorite foods. But two local businesses are doing their part to make sure these individuals have options. Sabatini’s Pizza is one business making a focused effort to adhere to the needs of celiac sufferers. Owner Lindo Sabatini, due in no small part to the demand from customers, pursued the creation of gluten-free pies at his Exeter pizzeria. After a few misses, Sabatini and his manager John Rallo found their formula: a carefully prepared pie that gives their famous original a real run for its money. “We didn’t want to put out something inferior. We wanted to make something we could like, too,” said Rallo. They also didn’t want to take the preparation method lightly. Cross-contamination is often a problem in preparing gluten-free foods, and in a bustling restaurant environment wheat can often find its way into what should be gluten-free foods. Sabatini and the staff at the pizzeria take extra care in preparing each pie. They use separate peels, cutters, screens and even separate cheese. Additionally, the pies get made in a line completely separate from the normal pizza line. This ensures the wheat from other pies doesn’t find its way into the gluten-free pies. Once the pizza comes out of the oven, the cooks wash the peel again -- all to

Lindo Sabatini, owner of Sabatini’s Pizza, Exeter, says his gluten-free pizza is as good as his famous original pie. His preparation method also prevents cross-contamination.

“I got a phone call from a woman nearly crying, saying she hadn’t had a piece of pizza since 1996. She was finally able to have a pizza and a beer, and better yet it was a Sab’s pie.” Lindo Sabatini Owner of Sabatini’s Pizza on the addition of gluten-free pizza and beer on its menu

ensure the safety and satisfaction of their customers. Sabatini’s also offers glutenfree beer in addition to its pizza and pasta offerings. Since they finalized the recipe two months ago, Sabatini and Rallo have received numerous phone calls and visits, not to mention countless face-to-face thank-yous from customers. “I got a phone call from a woman nearly crying, saying she hadn’t had a piece of pizza since 1996. She was finally able to have a pizza and a beer, and better yet it was a Sab’s pie,” Sabatini recalled. If you crave something other than pizza or beer, The Gluten

Free Basket in Dallas is the only location in the area devoted solely to the sale of gluten-free products. Since its grand opening in April, the store has continued to offer vast varieties of foods which those with the CD can enjoy worry free. “You could leave your glasses at home because you don’t have to read a label here,” said owner Marion Welliver. Welliver was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2010 and knows how frustrating it can be reading label after label trying to find something not only safe but edible and enjoyable. Her store offers “everything gluten free from A to Z” including pasta, cookies,

chips, cereals, desserts, frozen chicken nuggets and even frozen mozzarella sticks. “Sticking to the diet is important,” said Rosemary Butera. Butera heads the Greater WilkesBarre Scranton Celiac Support Group and stressed the importance of a smart diet when dealing with CD. “You have to be careful of anything put in your mouth,” Butera said. In addition to foods, “toothpastes, mouthwashes, lipstick, over-the-counter prescriptions and medicines” may also contain gluten. Reading labels is an extremely important facet of a gluten-free diet, and the Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is a digestive disorder that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten is found mainly in foods but may also be found in everyday products such as medicines, vitamins, and lip balms. • One in 133 Americans has celiac disease. • An estimated 3 million Americans across all races, ages and genders suffer from celiac.

Foundation stresses “When in doubt, leave it out.” That means if you are unsure a food or product absolutely does not contain gluten, then avoid it in your diet. But such diets aren’t just for those diagnosed with celiac disease. Gluten-free diets can also be beneficial for those seeking a healthier lifestyle. In addition to containing zero preservatives, gluten-free diets also are void of additives, artificial colors, artificial flavors, MSG, sulfites and contain little to no cholesterol.

• Celiac disease can lead to a number of other disorders including infertility, reduced bone density, neurological disorders, some cancers, and other autoimmune diseases. • There are no pharmaceutical cures for celiac disease. • A 100 percent gluten-free diet is the only existing treatment • Gluten-free sales reached more than $2.6 billion by the end of 2010 and are now expected to exceed more than $5 billion by 2015.

As more businesses begin to offer these alternatives, one thing is clear: customers are taking notice and they aren’t shy about showing their thanks. One such customer was Janelle Giebus, who traveled from Florida to visit relatives and enjoy some of Sabatini’s gluten-free pies. Giebus made sure to stop Sabatini and thank him personally for making such a concerted effort. “It tastes just like Sabatini’s pizza,” she said. “I could just hug him.”

For many allergy sufferers, increase in food labeling provides relief By ROBIN ERB Detroit Free Press

Finding the right cheese — that’s what gave Shannon Nowak the most trouble. “I know, it’s just grilled cheese,” said the Rochester, Mich., mother whose family has moved toward a gluten-free, casein-free diet. “But we went through six or seven months without grilled cheese sandwiches or cheese in the house. You don’t realize how much you’ll miss it until you can’t have it.” Still, like many families with diets restricted by food allergies, sensitivities or personal preference, the Nowaks found that it’s getting easier to go grocery shopping these days. Food labeling is becoming

more understandable, partly because federal law now mandates that the most common allergens be clearly listed. It’s good business, too. Approximately 3 million children in the U.S., or about 4 percent, were reported to have a food allergy in 2007 — a jump of 18 percent over the preceding decade, according to a 2009 report by the American Academy of Pediatrics. For those with food allergies, a bite of the wrong thing — even a touch of it on their skin — can trigger a violent, life-threatening immune response known as anaphylaxis that swells the lips, face, tongue and throat and cuts off breathing. Such allergies cause 300,000

trips to emergency departments and physician offices, 2,000 hospitalizations and 150 deaths each year, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, or NIAID. Even a bowl of vanilla ice cream can be scary if you’re allergic to nuts. “So they make rocky road ice cream, and they hose it (the equipment) down. The next run is vanilla, but it could have trace amounts (of nuts) in the first few cartons,” said Carol Finkelstein of Orchard Lake, Mich. Her son Ben, 9, is allergic to milk, sesame, tree nuts and latex. “It’s a game of Russian roulette,” she said. “How lucky do you feel today?” The issue sparked headlines in

Florida in March when an elementary school — trying to protect one child with a peanut allergy — began mandating handwashing each time students entered the classroom. It also ordered mouth-rinsing as soon as students arrived at school and after lunch. Snacks in the classroom were banned. A peanutsniffing dog was brought on-site. According to Finkelstein, the school went too far. In fact, after parents protested, it eased some of the rules. But all of this underscores that the country is still trying to balance several things: educating those with allergies about how to protect themselves, training schools in proper emergency in-

tervention during an attack and asking for understanding from others, she said. Beyond allergies, there is a growing understanding of food sensitivities. This intolerance may not cause the violent immune response of a food allergy, but it can lead to other serious problems, especially with digestion. High fructose corn syrup, a ubiquitous ingredient in processed food, sends pains into Libby Lee’s abdomen that has the 12year-old doubled over and vomiting violently. That means certain pizzas or ice cream at a sleepover used to land her in the emergency room: “My stomach kind of feels like

there’s a knife in it,” said the Howell, Mich., seventh-grader. Allergies affect about 12 million Americans. The body’s immune response is triggered as if otherwise harmless substances, including food, are a threat. Some people produce a specific type of antibody called immunoglobulin E (IgE), which binds to food and triggers the release of chemicals such as histamine. In severe cases, that leads to lifethreatening anaphylaxis. Eight foods account for 90 percent of all food-allergic reactions: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat and soy.

MEN’S & WOMEN’S SHOES IN ALL SIZES

For over 6 years I suffered with tingling, numb feet to the point that I had no feeling in them and it hurt to even walk. My daily life was affected. I couldn’t work, drive or keep up on my day-to-day activities.The pain impacted quality time with my family and granddaughter. Then I found out about the Neuropathy Center. After just the second treatment I started getting feeling back in my feet which continued with every visit! Since I have had the treatments I am back to work, taking less pain medications and am able to live a more pain free life. I deﬁnitely recommend the Neuropathy Center and already have! The caring staff treat you like family and they have got me back to the life I was missing! Thank you Neuropathy Center!

Readers run hot and cold on putting dirty toilet brush in dishwasher Dear Abby: The letter from “Turned Off in Texas” (May 18) caught my attention. While I agree that putting a toilet brush in the dishwasher with the dishes was unexpected and off-putting — we don’t ever want to link the toilet with our food — I think your answer showed a little overreaction. Running the dishes in another cycle should take care of any concerns as long as the water is hot. Studies have shown that the inside of the average public toilet bowl is not as bacteria-laden as a public drinking fountain. Our disgust is emotional, not likely fact-based. As I told a colleague during his wife’s baby

DEAR ABBY ADVICE shower, you have to believe in the power of soap and water or you won’t survive parenthood. While it’s worthwhile for “Turned Off” to tell his stepdaughter that this practice is unacceptable to him, it is no reason not to eat at her house. — Facts Over Emotion in Miami Dear Facts: Thank you for your letter. Frankly, I was as grossed out by what “Turned Off” saw his stepdaughter do as he was. So it surprised me to find that many of my readers weren’t as affected by the “ew” factor. Read on:

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: It’s possible that what “Turned Off” perceived to be a toilet brush was never used for cleaning a toilet. I bought a brand-new toilet scrubber to keep under the kitchen sink. I use it only for cleaning the garbage disposal. Afterward, I wash it in the sink, not the dishwasher. Let’s give the stepdaughter the benefit of the doubt. Things are not always what they appear to be. — Not Disgusted in Arcadia, Calif. Dear Abby: I can top the letter from the gentleman who said his stepdaughter, after cleaning his house when his wife fell ill, put the toilet brush in the dishwasher. My daughter has a close friend who told her she and her husband put

CRYPTOQUOTE

the cat’s litterbox in the dishwasher when they want to clean it. I was mortified, as was my daughter. You’d never guess it — she’s an otherwise clean-appearing person. Well, needless to say, we no longer eat at this woman’s home. — Anonymous in Connecticut Dear Abby: I am a retired doctor. I have been in the Army, slept in the woods and eaten three-day-old food — so I know a little bit about germs. The hot water and soap will take care of any bacteria on the brush. (It’s unaesthetic, but not unsanitary.) The brush will be as clean as your hands are when you wash them after using the toilet. I would be happy to eat off the plates that came out

of that dishwasher. — Dr. M. in Naples, Fla. Dear Abby: We bought a new toilet seat a few years back, and on the instructions it stated that it was “dishwasher safe.” That made me think at the time, “Who in their right mind would remove a toilet seat in order to run it through the dishwasher, and why would they want to?” — LOL in Anderson, S.C. 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). You feel the pressure as much as anyone around you, but instead of feeling squeezed out, you interpret the sensation as a push in the right direction. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). While the sun is up, you’ll convey the appropriate sense of seriousness in all you do. People will look to you for behavioral cues. When the sun goes down, it takes your seriousness with it. Evening will be light and lively. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are emotionally fluid now, moving through different states without getting hung up for too long on any one feeling. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve heard the old adage that you should dress for the job you want, not the job you have. You won’t go wrong following this advice now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some people are takers. Their mentality may be hard for you to understand, but it is just as necessary to the world balance as your giving mentality. Stay aware. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Feedback is a gift, although, unfortunately, not the kind that can be exchanged for something you like better. Whether or not you asked for a critique, you’ll get one and find the value in it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You should in no way feel guilty for spending money to look your best. When you feel good about your image, you’ll make a lasting impression. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You give the impression of being

much younger than you are, which can be a good thing. However, there is an opportunity today to earn the respect of your peers, and a serious approach will be best. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may notice something amiss in your social interaction with others, but it’s best not to apologize, complain or explain. The classiest move is to wait until you can fix it in private. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A friend who comes into your living space will have interesting things to say about it. This will allow you to look at your environment with fresh eyes and make decisions about what, if anything, to change. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be feeling generous in every way and will contribute much more than you had planned to. You’ll walk away from the exchange feeling richer, and that’s how you’ll know it was the right move for you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll get a chance to ask questions and will be careful not to probe too deep. You are also sensitive about not mentioning the past mistakes of others. You understand human frailty. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 5). You’ll take excellent care of yourself, realizing that success is easier when you look and feel your best. Your connection to nature, especially to animals, will guide your August activities. November is the most romantic month. Leo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 49, 24 and 11.
