Emilio Casagrande and Mike DeDanto work on applying one of the three coatings that will protect the domes of the Luzerne County Courthouse on Thursday.

Just a touch of gray By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County officials don’t know what public reaction will be to the courthouse dome color switch. “I’m waiting for the phone calls,” county assistant engineer Chris Belleman said Thursday. The five prominent domes are changing to light gray after decades of white to make them more historically accurate. Tests showed the domes were gray when the structure was built in 1909, and county officials say they must mirror the shade because the building is on

the National Register of Historic Places. County Chief Engineer Joe Gibbons publicly briefed county officials on the color change in October 2009, producing color samples, but the big-picture visual impact is surfacing now. The new gray is visible on the completed small dome on the southeast corner of the building. The four remaining domes – the main and three small ones – will be completed by the first week of August, said Josh McGroarty, of Berlin, N.J.based D.A. Nolt Inc., the project conSee DOMES, Page 10A

WILKES-BARRE – A Northumberland County roofer has filed a lawsuit in Luzerne County Court against a Schuylkill County couple after the couple made alleged defamatory statements on the Internet regarding the roofer’s work. Anthony Swartz, owner of Swartz’ Roofing and Remodeling, filed the suit through his attorney, Franklin Kepner Jr., against Patrick and Michelle Konitzer. Swartz requests over $75,000 in damages. Swartz alleged in the suit that he lost business from a potential Luzerne County client who saw the postings online and decided to no longer do business with Swartz. According to the suit, after the Konitzers hired Swartz to perform work on their home, Swartz discovered defects that would add to the cost. The Konitzers refused to pay anything toward the added repairs, and Swartz stopped work. Beginning in June 2011, Swartz says in the suit, the Konitzers began to “defame” him on a customer commenting website, posting comments regarding “shoddy work” and saying that Swartz was a “scammer.” Swartz said that as a result he lost between $35,000 and $40,000 per year, including jobs in Luzerne County.

Experts: New art by Caravaggio found The claim by art historians is not yet verified. Most of the works are drawings.

By FRANCES D’EMILIO Associated Press

ROME — Two Italian art historians claim to have discovered as many as 100 works, most of them drawings, by a very young Caravaggio in a collection long attributed to a master Milanese artist he studied under while a boy in the late 1500s. It was not possible to immediately evaluate the claim Thursday by Maurizio Bernardelli Curuz and Adriana Conconi Fedrigolli on the eve of the publication of two ebooks laying out their case. But one expert familiar with the collection said it was unlikely that more than a few at most were actually done by Caravaggio and that none show the mature hand of the temperamental

artist — who was famed for his dramatic chiaroscuro effect of dark space contrasting with light, vivid still life and the thenscandalous use of models from the lower walks of life for religious scenes. The works were culled from the collection of Simone Peterzano, whose many pupils included Caravaggio from 1584 to 1588. The Peterzano collection, which is kept in Sforzesco Castle, a Milan landmark, contains nearly 1,400 works. Bernardelli, in brief remarks to The Associated Press, said that until now experts had considered the collection to contain only works by Peterzano. “Evidently no one entertained the hypothesis that there were works” of his pupils, including future star artist Caravaggio, among the drawings, Bernardelli said. Neither Conconi Fedrigolli nor Bernardelli returned calls for further comment after a first

They used a computer to study similarities between details in some of the art school drawings with details in paintings by Caravaggio decades later.

Davis said he and police Chief Chris Pelchar toured the streets of the borough in order to maintain a peaceful and safe holiday for all residents. The mayor said that in the future, he would like to see an ordinance passed stating that “the sale and/or distribution of fire-

works or related devices is prohibited in Sugar Notch without a permit.” Davis said that although there were no incidents this year, the ordinance would be beneficial to the residents and their property in the future. Councilman Mario Fiorucci noted that as part of his best practices study, he will be reviewing how the council meeting minutes are produced and used. “The minutes are the official history of our government,” said Fiorucci. A recent concern of Fiorucci’s was that only the first names of the council members

were being used in the minutes. “This is not a club, it’s a governing body in which full disclosure is always appropriate,” he said. Pelchar reported the training of Sugar Notch’s first K-9 patrol is progressing well. Pelchar said the insert for the new police dog was put in the police vehicle, and within the next few days the final adjustments will be made. The canine, who is Pelchar’s personal dog, will most likely begin its first patrol in the fall. The next council meeting is Aug. 1 at 7 p.m.

The review was prompted by a separate audit conducted by a private firm that determined

W-B’s beat goes on Firm donates stage for performers

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE -- Thanks to the generosity of a local company, the polka band playing for the crowd at Thursday’s Farmers Market had a stage on which to perform. Drew McLaughlin, the city’s administrative coordinator, and Lore Majikes, special events coordinator, said the stage was donated by Mountain Productions, New Frederick Street. The city is still exploring its options to rent or purchase a new bandshell to replace the one that was destroyed during a recent storm. McLaughlin said the stage will be utilized next week, but after that the city must find a permanent replacement. He gave no timetable.

“We’re still exploring our insurance options,” McLaughlin said. “We’re determining what the cost of replacement or repair is and how much would be covered. The city wants to pursue the most cost-effective approach.” On June 22, strong winds blew through the West Side and ripped apart the city’s John “Jake” Sauer Bandshell. The heavy winds also flattened tents and flipped two airplanes at the Wyoming Valley Airport next to the field where the Forty Fort 125th anniversary fair was being held. The bandshell, on loan from WilkesBarre for the fair, lay on its roof. Several large gashes were left in the rear exterior wall from a mobile generator that was pushed into the bandshell.

Acid spilled at area gas drilling pad Chief Oil and Gas says most of the substance was contained or captured at the Bradford County location.

By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

LEROY TWP. – Approximately 4,700 gallons of acid was spilled Wednesday at a natural gas drilling pad near Towanda Creek in Bradford County. Chief Oil and Gas, operator of the Yoder well site off Southside Road, said the release was discovered at approximately 1 p.m. Wednesday by workers at the site. Several dead fish were observed in a plunge pool within a tributary to Towanda Creek near the pad, the company said. “There were a few dead minnows observed, localized in a small plunge pool, but there was no evidence of HCL and normal pH readings and live fish were noted further downstream in the tributary that leads to Towanda Creek,” the

company said in a statement. Hydrochloric acid is a highly corrosive mineral acid used in natural gas drilling to clear drilling mud and concrete from a well bore before hydraulic fracturing. Exposure in humans can cause irritation of the eyes, skin and mucous membranes, and in high concentrations laryngitis, bronchitis and pulmonary edema, according to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Extremely high concentrations can cause death. Chief claims approximately 4,000 gallons of the spilled acid was contained by a plastic liner surrounding the well pad, and the majority of fluid that left the pad was captured by a sediment pond below. About 50 gallons left the sediment pond but appeared to be contained within a small pool next to the pond, the company said in a statement. “No evidence of any runoff into To-

The state Department of Environmental Protection and the Bradford County Emergency Management Agency were notified and response measures were implemented, the company added. Chief, DEP and the state Fish & Boat Commission are continuing to take readings at the site. Chief spokeswoman Kristi Gittins said clean-up of the spill was nearing completion Thursday evening. DEP officials could not be reached for comment Thursday evening.

WILKES-BARRE – The wife of a man who died in a one-vehicle crash in May has filed a lawsuit in Luzerne County Court, alleging Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs continued to serve her husband alcoholic beverages even though he was visibly intoxicated. Lillian Vargas, of Scranton, is seeking more than $150,000 in damages from Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. She is represented by attorney Miriam Benton Barish. Her husband, Carlos Vargas Medina, 51, died after he lost control of his vehicle on an on-ramp to Interstate 81 on May 6. State police said Medina was traveling at a high rate of speed exiting state Route 115/309 when he lost control. It rolled over several times and Medina was ejected from the vehicle. He died at the scene, police said. Acting Coroner William Lisman said Medina was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, according to The Times Leader archives. The suit says Medina was at Mohegan Sun with family members and was served several alcoholic beverages. Family members observed Medina visibly intoxicated around 4 p.m. and that Medina eventually left the casino at around 9 p.m. Mohegan Sun, through its employees, served Medina alcohol despite his visible intoxication, the suit says. “At no time prior to (Medina) leaving (Mohegan Sun) did anyone take any measures sufficient and required to protect him from the dangers of driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated,” the suit says. Medina’s death, the suit says, was a result of Mohegan Sun’s “negligence, carelessness, gross negligence, willful, wanton and reckless conduct” by violating liquor control board laws by giving alcohol to someone who is visibly intoxicated; failing to protect Medina after serving him alcohol; and continuing to serve alcohol to Medina. “(Mohegan Sun’s) conduct was so egregious as to be beyond the bounds of decency in a civilized society, and was in direct violation of specific ordinances, laws, statutes and regulations…” the suit says. Vargas cites she and her minor son were left with funeral expenses, medical bills and other costs, and will continue to suffer in the future. Vargas also requests monetary damages for pain, mental anguish and suffering, as well as loss of earnings and/or the earning capacity of her husband.

Boating experts say vessel carrying sightseers was overloaded with 27 aboard.

OYSTER BAY, N.Y. — A yacht that capsized with 27 friends and family aboard on an outing to watch Fourth of July fireworks was severely overcrowded and doomed to tip over, safety experts said Thursday as the skipper blamed the tragedy on a wave that came out of the dark. Three children died after becoming trapped Wednesday night in the cabin of the 34foot vessel off Oyster Bay, on the north shore of Long Island.

Sal Aurelino, who was at the helm of the Candi I, told TV’s News12 Long Island that he saw two lightning bolts, and then a wave suddenly hit. “It turned the boat around,” he said, his voice cracking. “It just turned the boat. I didn’t see it. It was dark. I didn’t see it.” Aurelino’s nephew David Aurelino, 12, and two girls, 11year-old Harley Treanor and 8year-old Victoria Gaines, died. The 24 other passengers — a combination of adults and children — were rescued from the water, mostly by fellow boaters, and were not seriously hurt. The cause of the accident was under investigation, but it could have been the weather, overcrowding, the wake from

another vessel, or a combination of factors, said Nassau County Detective Lt. John Azzata. The area was crowded with boaters watching the fireworks, he said. Phil Cusumano, a Bostonbased safety instructor and yacht captain with 35 years of

experience, said there is no question the boat was badly overloaded. He said he would limit a vessel of that size to six adults. Other boating sites suggested a maximum of 15 passengers. “Twenty-seven is just crazy,” Cusumano said.

NATO trucks roll again

rucks carrying NATO supplies rolled into Afghanistan for the first T time in more than seven months Thursday, ending a painful chapter in U.S.Pakistan relations that saw the border closed until Washington apologized for an airstrike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. Thousands of trucks have been waiting at ports in Karachi for the transit ban to be lifted as the diplomatic wrangling dragged on. Pakistan closed the routes in retaliation for the U.S. airstrikes in November that killed the two dozen border troops. The decision to reopen them, after the U.S. apology, marked an easing of strains in the relationship between Washington and Islamabad in recent months. The Americans have said they did not intentionally target Pakistani forces, but Pakistan disputed that.

The malfunctioning of the speed sensing pitot probes due to icing caused the autopilot to disconnect, forcing the co-pilots, who were at the controls while the captain was having a rest, to take manual control. But the pilots were unprepared for the task of manual flying at high altitude and unwittingly triggered a stall they were not aware of, the report found. ORLANDO, FLA.

Zimmerman granted bail

A Florida judge ruled Thursday that George Zimmerman can be released from jail a second time on $1 million bond, saying he set the bail amount significantly higher because Zimmerman may have been hiding money as part of a plot to flee the country. Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester had revoked Zimmerman’s $150,000 bond last month after prosecutors told the judge Zimmerman and his wife misled the court about how much money they had during an April bond hearing. Zimmerman is charged with seconddegree murder in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Prosecutors said a website Zimmerman created for his legal defense had raised $135,000 at the time of his first bond hearing. Zimmerman and his wife did not mention the money then, and Shellie Zimmerman even said the couple had limited resources because she was a student and he wasn’t working. TOKYO

Nuke disaster blame fixed

Nuclear power returned to Japan’s energy mix for the first time in two months Thursday, hours before a parliamentary panel blamed the government’s cozy relations with the industry for the meltdowns that prompted the mass shutdown of the nation’s reactors. Though the report echoes other investigations into last year’s disaster at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, it could fuel complaints that Japan is trying to restart nuclear reactors without doing enough to avoid a repeat. Thursday’s resumption of operations at a reactor in Ohi, in western Japan, already had been hotly contested.

Obama targets Romney Pawlenty, Jindal defend GOP hopeful By BEN FELLER AP White House Correspondent

MAUMEE, Ohio — Defending his economic policies, President Barack Obama said Thursday he was betting that Americans wouldn’t lose interest or heart in the upcoming election despite a political stalemate in Congress. He said the next election would set the country’s economic outlook for the next decade and beyond. Kicking off a two-day bus tour of northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania, Obama described a political system at a crossroads and argued that his Republican rival, Mitt Romney, would pursue economic policies that favor the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. The presi-

dent said he was willing to work with “anybody who believes that we’re in this together.” “I’m not a Democrat first, I’m an American first,” Obama said at a quintessential campaign scene, an early 19th-century museum complex dotted with red-whiteand-blue bunting and American flags. Holding his first campaign event since the Supreme Court’s decision a week ago to uphold his health care law, Obama defended his sweeping changes to the system. “The law I passed is here to stay,” he said. “It is going to make the vast majority of Americans more secure.” Obama sought to draw attention to the economies in both states that have been

helped by a stronger auto industry, noting that a Jeep plant in nearby Toledo was hiring. Today’s schedule includes a stop at an elementary school in Poland, Ohio, near Youngstown, followed by a speech at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. With Romney on vacation in New Hampshire, the former Massachusetts governor’s team dispatched former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, two potential vice presidential nominees, to some of the same towns on Obama’s tour. Romney’s campaign counters that Obama has presided over a series of broken promises on unemployment, the economy and the federal deficit. “No one should bet against America. But we certainly shouldn’t double down on Barack Obama,” Pawlenty said.

to attack 277,000 computers

Thousands may lose Internet service on Monday unless they check for malware. By LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The warnings about the Internet problem have been splashed across Facebook and Google. Internet service providers have sent notices, and the FBI set up a special website. But tens of thousands of Americans may still lose their Internet service Monday unless they Facebook and do a quick Google crecheck of their computers for ated their malware that own warning could have tak- messages en over their that showed machines more than a year ago. up if someone Despite re- appeared to peated alerts, have an inthe number of fected comcomputers that probably are in- puter. fected is more than 277,000 worldwide, down from about 360,000 in April. Of those still infected, the FBI believes that about 64,000 are in the United States. Users whose computers are still infected Monday will lose their ability to go online. The problem began when international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control of more than 570,000 infected computers around the world. When the FBI went in to take down the hackers late last year, agents realized that if they turned off the malicious servers being used to control the computers, all the victims would lose their Internet service. In a highly unusual move, the FBI brought in a private company to install two clean Internet servers to take over for the malicious servers so that people would not suddenly lose their Internet. But that temporary system will be shut down at 12:01 a.m. EDT Monday, July 9. Both Facebook and Google created their own warning messages that showed up if someone using either site appeared to have an infected computer. To check whether a computer is infected, users can visit a website run by the group brought in by the FBI: http:// www.dcwg.org . The site includes links to sites that will run a quick check on the computer, and it also lays out detailed instructions if users want to actually check the computer themselves.

Insurance companies send private firefighters to blazes Crews are hired to protect pricey properties in path of wildfires. By P. SOLOMON BANDA Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — When firefighter Eric Morris shows up at wildfires across the West, locals battling the flames sometimes look at him and wonder who sent him. The answer isn’t a public agency. It’s an insurance company. Morris is among a group of private firefighters hired in recent years to protect homes with high-end insurance policies. In a wildfire season that is one of the busiest and most destructive ever to hit the region, authorities and resi-

dents say their help is welcome. “There’s curiosity the first time they work with us,” he said. “After a while of explaining and making some calls to the right people, they let us right in.” Morris and his nine-man crew helped protect 35 homes in Colorado Springs in the most destructive fire in the state’s history. It killed two people and destroyed 346 homes. There are no numbers available for how many homes these firefighters save and, given the unpredictable nature of fires, few are willing to take credit. For insurers, hiring them is worth the cost. They spend thousands on well-equipped, federally rated firefighters, potentially saving hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars

age for homes typically valued between $400,000 and $3 million, said Kevin Fuhriman, the company’s personal lines catastrophe manager. “It’s an added layer of protection for our clients,” Fuhriman said. “From a business perspective?

Jackson Jr. an inpatient, staff says By SOPHIA TAREEN Associated Press

CHICAGO — U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. is suffering from “physical and emotional ailments” that require extended inpatient treatment, according to a statement from his office Thursday. The Chicago Democrat, who faces a House ethics investigation over his ties to imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, has been on medical leave for three weeks for exhaustion, news his office announced last week in a three-sentence statement. But no details about Jackson’s whereabouts and condition have been released since then. A statement from his office on Thursday did not disclose his location or provide details of his medical condition. Messages left for his spokesmen were not immediately returned. “Congressman Jackson’s medical condition is more serious than we thought and initially believed,” the statement said. “Recently, we have been made aware that he has grappled with certain physical and emotional ailments privately for a long period of time. At present, he is undergoing further evaluation and treatment at an in-patient medical facility.” The statement said Jackson, 47, will need “extended in-patient treatment as well as continuing medical treatment thereafter.” Messages left Thursday for his wife, Chicago Alderman Sandi Jackson, and a brother who is a professor in Chicago, were not immediately returned.

Griffith said he would get back to Watt, but never did, Watt said. Griffith then released the audit without giving Watt a chance to respond. “I told him I will sit down with them. I’ll wait for you to call me back. I didn’t hear from him,” Watt said. “If someone had just taken my offer to sit down and go over this with me, there is 100 percent nothing wrong.” Griffith did not respond to phone messages and an email Thursday seeking comment. Davison, of Kingston, and Salavantis took issue with the audit’s suggestion that charges for hours attorneys spent in preparing and

delivering their fees petitions be disallowed. The audit recommends seeking $742 from Salavantis, but nothing from Davison. Salavantis, who represented clients before becoming district attorney six months ago, and Davison said the courts specifically permitted attorneys to charge for preparing the petitions, which the courts required them to file. “I only billed for court documents I prepared. For him to say I should not bill for that, I find that to be outrageous,” Salavantis said. Davison billed only once for preparing his bills – a total of $41.25. That amount was offset because he under-billed the county on another invoice, resulting in a $110 credit being due him, according to Griffith’s audit. Insinuation upsetting Even though he was not cited as possibly owing the county money, Davison said he was upset by the insinuation he and the others did something wrong. “The implication by Mr. Griffith’s audit is there was some inappropriate billing by the lawyers who followed the direction of the court,” Davison said. “I think

that’s unfair and inappropriate. ... He didn’t think about what he was saying.” In an interview Tuesday, Griffith said he believed the charges for preparing bills should be disallowed because the audit Stevens commissioned, performed by Forensic Resolutions Inc., did not permit the charges. Davison and Salavantis said that’s a misinterpretation of the Stevens audit, which disallowed charges only on fee petitions that were duplicative. Griffth’s audit contains contradictory information regarding whether the questioned charges of other attorneys are duplicative. He lists the charges as being “potentially duplicative” in a graph attached to the audit. But right below the graph, he states “although not duplicative, like billing amounts were disallowed by Forensic Resolutions” as they pertained to Stevens’ bills. “First of all, to apply to other attorneys the audit paid for by Stevens is irrelevant,” Davison said. “What does apply is what the court directed. For Walter to use that audit is incorrect, and he misinterpreted the conclusions in terms of billing documents.” 746 Garage Sales/ Estate Sales/ Flea Markets

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We’re reaching into the fabric of the universe in a way we never have done before.” Joe Incandela The University of California at Santa Barbara scientist, who leads a team of 2,100 scientists involved in the world’s biggest atom smasher, hailed on Wednesday the apparent discovery of a new subatomic particle called the Higgs boson, or “God particle,” which could help explain why all matter has mass.

OTHER OPINION: GOD PARTICLE

Scientists revel in existential eureka

T LEAST THE socalled God particle has come by its name honestly. Like the entity it is nicknamed after, the particle is difficult for those not trained in the arcane language of physics to understand. It is a mystery wrapped in an enigma even for those who believe they know it best. The search for the Higgs boson – the more conventional name for the Holy Grail of physics – has inspired hundreds of scientists to methodically probe the subatomic realm for a glimpse of its mysteries. Like priests in a holy sanctuary, the scientists who operate the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider on the Swiss-French border believe they’ve finally detected evidence, though indirect, of the existence of the Higgs boson. They believe they have a footprint and a shadow EDITORIAL BOARD

to follow, but evidence of the God particle itself remains elusive. The God particle theory is an attempt to understand how protons, neutrons and electrons were formed and how they attain mass. It is the very floor of a deeper understanding of the universe. Realistically speaking, scientists probably won’t be satisfied with simply finding the floor. There is always a search for the next irreducible reality. At one time, atoms represented the ultimate point, then it was the thing atoms are made of. If humanity succeeds in finding the God particle, we will probably want to dissect that, too. We won’t stop until we finally come face to face with something that fills us with fear and awe.

Caring volunteers make it one cool day for United Way JUNE 21, the official first day of summer, was hot. With the sun blazing, near record temperatures and stifling humidity, it didn’t take long to work up a sweat. Yet for the United Way of Wyoming Valley, the day was, simply, cool. Very cool! The United Way held its 20th annual Day of Caring – a day set aside to encourage volunteerism and support of our neighbors and community. For 20 years, hundreds of volunteers have helped to tackle meaningful projects on behalf of dozens of nonprofit agencies, day care centers, animal shelters, parks and trails, The River Common and many other wonderful community assets. Despite the sweltering heat during this year’s Day of Caring, it was cool that: • More than 700 caring people stepped forward to help. • More than 60 area companies participated. • Wegmans hosted a breakfast for all the volunteers. • Nearly 50 organizations benefited from this spirit of service and action. It was cool that homeless shelters were painted and improved; that elderly individuals made new friends and enjoyed

Besides his great increase in body mass over the length of his career, there were too many inconsistencies in his defense, too many events that he “misremembered.” It seems as if America can’t find enough ways to honor professional athletes. In addition to their outrageous salaries, they are rewarded with popularity, fame, rings, statues, a Hall of Fame, broadcasting jobs, documentaries and countless other perks by the adoring public. And some of them even have received favorable judicial decisions not fitting their actions. Consider the recent decisions regarding Barry Bonds, Lance Armstrong and Floyd Mayweather, not to mention others in the past. The same also can be said of Hollywood celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Robert Downey Jr. and Charlie Sheen; for their egregious or illegal behavior they are granted passes or, at the very worst, judicial wrist slaps.

Glitch produces big but brief fireworks show By ELLIOT SPAGAT Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Trolley was packed. Hotel rooms facing the bay were sold out. And local radio was set to simulcast a patriotic score for the Fourth of July show. But instead of 20 minutes of fireworks, the crowd in San Diego got about 20 seconds of giant, deafening booms after a computer mishap sent multiple bulbshaped explosions over the bay. The show’s producer blamed a “technical glitch” Thursday, saying an error in its computer system caused tens of thousands of fireworks on four barges to go off simultaneously with a single command. “It was like a giant, serious bomb went off,” said Mike Newton, 29, a photographer who

ries and Garden State Fireworks, based in Millington, N.J., apologized and vowed to determine precisely what went wrong. The 122-year-old company produced

hundreds of other shows across the country Wednesday night. August Santore, part-owner of Garden State Fireworks, said the company felt terrible, but the mood was unforgiving among many of the hundreds of thousands of people who witnessed the explosions before they could get off their first “ooh” or “ah.” A patriotic score was set to be simulcast on a local radio station. The show was set to stream live on the Web. The crowd stood in quiet disbelief, with many wondering what just happened to a show billed as the Big Bay Boom. Word went out on the radio about 20 minutes later that it was over. By late Thursday afternoon, the fireworks flop had become a hit online with about 2 million views of the footage on YouTube.

tractor. Officials believe the gray will complement the building’s exterior walls. The walls were ivory or light beige when the building opened but have changed to orange and copper tones because the Ohio sandstone has oxidized. The dome color change is functional -- not decorative. The prior white waterproof coating was failing, causing water to permeate the terra cotta tiles and damage the interior. Instead of slapping a new coating over the old, county officials decided to start from scratch using a technique and products guaranteed to last at least 25 years, Gibbons said. Contractors spent months stripping the old coating from the tiles, creating a raw base. Worn joints between the tiles were repaired and sealed. The new waterproofing is applied in stages, starting with a primer/sealer and base coat.

amined the project Thursday. When that layer dries, the finish must be lightly sanded to remove mesh fibers that stick up and create a smooth finish. The mesh makes the waterproofing stronger, Belleman said. “We have large temperature extremes, so we really need that mesh to adjust to thermal chang-

es,” he said. A third coat of waterproofing is applied to the gray base coat, and it was tinted white so contractors could easily identify missed spots. The work wraps up with a final coat in the new gray. The domes will match new zinc-coated capping on roofline

edges and overhangs. The $5.2 million restoration phase focused on stopping leaks above the roofline and exterior entrance repairs. A rubber roof replacement and repair of water-damaged interior artwork and plaster will be completed in the next phases, officials said.

for unauthorized purposes, the department can seek to recoup the taxes, which in 2012 are 31.2 cents per gallon for gasoline, and 38.1 cents per gallon for diesel. City officials acknowledged last week they could not explain a discrepancy between fuel logs employees fill out that detail the amount of fuel they dispense and computerized tank readings that show how much fuel was removed. The Times Leader’s review of documents showed there was a difference of 10,260 gallons of gasoline and 7,620 gallons of diesel. DEP inspected the tanks Mon-

day and determined there were no leaks. The department is unable to determine exactly how much fuel is unaccounted for, however, because of a lack of records, spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said. Ceppa Hirko said she also has asked the state office of Auditor General, which audits the use of the state’s liquid fuels fund, to investigate Wilkes-Barre. The liquid fuels fund consists of taxes collected on the sale of all fuels. The state distributes

that money to municipalities each year. A municipality could be required to reimburse its liquid fuels budget, which is separate from the general fund, if it’s found to have misspent liquid fuels funds. McLaughlin said the city had not been contacted by the auditor general as of Thursday. Ivan Anderson, a spokesman for the Auditor General’s Office, did not respond to an inquiry about a possible investigation as of the end of business Thursday.

day after he saved the two girls, who were swimming behind the Riverview Village Trailer Park, township Police Chief Nancy Smith said. He was swimming with friends before a cookout in the trailer park. Fowler is being called a “hero” for his efforts, Smith said. Fetch, who is also the township Emergency Management Agency coordinator, said Fowler’s body was discovered by Sam Green, a volunteer with the Harding Fire Department. Green, who lives on Route 92, spotted Fowler’s body floating down the river from his front porch and contacted search officials, Fetch said. “His house has a clear view and he knew what was going on and he kept his eye out. We were pretty fortunate that it just happened at the right time,” Fetch said. He said as many as 40 people from several water rescue teams were involved in the massive search operation. Rescue crews searched the river for more than three hours Wednesday night before suspending the operation due to darkness and the threat of a thunderstorm. Divers and boaters resumed the search just before 8 a.m. Thursday, concentrating just south of Miller’s Island in the river. The area searched was about 150 yards wide and about 400 yards upstream from the Apple Tree Boat Launch on Route 92 run by the state Fish and Boat Commission. The boat launch was used as a command post. Fetch said the river is about 7 to 9 feet deep in the area that was searched. “We were able to get more information Wednesday night that allowed us to concentrate in one area today,” Fetch said, adding that there were divers in the water, crews on boats and people searching along the shore. A state police helicopter hovered above the river for about an hour before leaving around 11 a.m.

Fetch said divers were experiencing “fatigue” as most of them who participated in the search Wednesday night returned Thursday. Divers returned to the command post to provide updates and to rest before returning to the river. A large map of the section of the river that was searched and updated weather conditions were posted on the side of the incident command trailer. Members of the Tafton Fire Department’s water rescue team from Lake Wallenpaupack in Wayne County arrived just before noon with submersible side-scan sonar that was immediately placed in the river. Fetch said the Wayne County fire department is the only search-and-rescue organization in the region with such a device, an unmanned miniature submarine that takes live pictures and sonar images viewable by a laptop computer. The side-scan sonar is capable of searching murky water at about 30 acres an hour, compared to half an acre by a diver in the same timeframe. bursting at the seam and now we have (to lose) 32 more?” Attempts to reach district officials and school board members on Thursday were unsuccessful.

TENNIS: WIMBLEDON

Aces help S. Williams reach women’s final Hulett, Powerful American set a tournament record with 24 aces in her semifinal match. By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — Serena Williams wins with so much more than serving, of course. Her groundstrokes are intimidating. Her superb speed and anticipation fuel unparalleled court-covering defense. Her returns are outstanding, too. When that serve is on-target, though, it sure is something special, quite possibly the greatest in the history of women’s tennis. Lashing a tournamentrecord 24 aces at up to 120 mph, and doing plenty of other

things well, too, four-time Wimbledon champion Williams overpowered No. 2-seeded Victoria Azarenka of Belarus 6-3, 7-6 (6) Thursday to reach her seventh final at the All England Club. “Isn’t that something?” said Williams’ father, Richard, after watching his daughter win on Centre Court. “She was really trying, you know? Maybe she was trying to impress the neighbors back home.” On Saturday, the 30-year-old Williams will try to become the first woman at least that age to win a major tournament since Martina Navratilova, who was 33 when she won Wimbledon in 1990. “The older I get, the better I serve, I feel,” Williams said. “I don’t know how it got better.

really don’t know. It’s not like I go home and I work on baskets and baskets of serves. Maybe it’s a natural shot for me.” Her next opponent will be No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, who reached her first Grand Slam final at age 23 by playing steady as can be during a 6-3, 6-4 victory over No. 8 Angelique Kerber of Germany. “After a couple of games, I just relaxed a little bit,” said Radwanska, who made only six unforced errors, one in the second set. “I was really focusing on every point.” Williams won 20 of her 24 service points in the first set, including 17 in a row during one stretch. She didn’t doublefault once, a real accomplishSee ACES, Page 5B

ter P.J. Angeli, and the floodgates were open. In all, West Pittston collected seven runs on five hits while drawing three walks with two outs in the frame. Mike Bonita double’s to the wall made it 9-8 West Pittston, and everything was suddenly up for grabs. Wyoming/West Wyoming had the potential tying run thrown out at third to end the bottom of the fifth, sending the drama into the sixth. Matt Silinskie, Alex Hawk, Williams loaded the bases in the home half of the frame with walks and Jim Kosco drew a

ALLENTOWN -- For the first time in his minor league rehabilitation assignment, Ryan Howard went the full nine innings in his bid to make it all the way back to Philadelphia. But it was Tug Hulett who really went the distance. Hulett unloaded a grand IRONPIGS slam in the second inning Thursday and added an RBI YANKEES single in the third as the Lehigh Valley IronPigs slammed Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre, 7-2 at Coca-Cola Park. "It’s always good to hit a home run early in the game," Hulett said. "Watch your pitcher go to work. It’s nice." The news got even nicer for Phillies fans. Philadelphia’s injured slugger Howard made a huge step toward his major league return, rifling two singles and making a leaping stab of a high hopper at first base. "It felt pretty good, kind of moving around," Howard said. His next move may be to the Phillies, but Howard said the decision to activate him today from the torn left Achilles tendon that’s kept him out of action all season will be in their hands, not his. He’s scheduled to play another rehab game when the IronPigs face Scranton/Wilkes-Barre again at Coca-Cola Park today. "Scheduled to be here," Howard said. "I guess the next step, they (the Phillies) will talk to the (minor league) guys and continue to just evaluate the whole progress." If the Phillies are looking for a lift, Howard made his case to provide it. Multiple reports after the Phillies’ dramatic loss to the New York Mets late Thursday said Howard will be activated in time for tonight’s game with the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park, and Howard’s play at Lehigh Valley did nothing to discourage the idea. "Looks like he’s got the game slowed up pretty well," IronPigs manager Ryne Sandberg said. "He’s right on the ball." Howard’s progress continued Thursday with a looping single to

Programs upgraded at LCCC

Nanticoke school part of new league, will play at top level of junior college athletics. By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

Luzerne County Community College took a big step toward upgrading its athletic programs recently, yet did little more than complete some paperwork. The Nanticoke school has signed on to become a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association, the secondlargest intercollegiate sports organization in the country behind the NCAA. “It’s going to get busy around here,” LCCC athletic director Mary Sullivan said. “The reason (for the move) is to give our athletes a better opportunity for competition. With some luck, we’ll have some teams move on to regional play or better.” The NJCAA sanctions 28 sports for its 525 member schools. In all, more than 60,000 student-athletes compete at twoyear institutions under the NJCAA umbrella. A number of sports are offered in divisions similar to the NCAA. Luzerne County Community College will continue to sponsor eight teams – men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, baseball, softball, women’s volleyball and co-ed golf. “Basically, the other community colleges we compete with in the EPCC (Eastern Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference, LCCC’s former league) decided they wanted more participation for their students,” Sullivan said.

Comeback kids fend off rally Wyoming/West Wyoming scores two runs in bottom of sixth to down West Pittston. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

WEST PITTSTON — The comeback was impressive. West Pittston’s seven-run rally in the top of the fifth was even capped off by some post-holiday fireworks sounding off well in the distance. Wyoming/West Wyoming persevered. After losing the lead in the fifth, Wyoming/West Wyoming drew four walks to lead off the

bottom of the sixth to tie the game. Then came Jason Mapes, who drove an 0-1 pitch over the heads of a drawn in outfield for the winning RBI and a 10-9 victory on Thursday night. Now Wyoming/West Wyoming advances to the championship round of the District 31 Little League major division tournament, traveling to Back Mountain American at 2 p.m. Saturday. Wyoming/West Wyoming will need two wins to capture the district title in the double-elimination tournament. But all of that can wait. For another day, the team can celebrate its wildest win of the summer. “These kids … I don’t even

know how to explain it,” manager Ron Silinskie said. “They’re very strong-willed. Very strongwilled. They want to win, and they picked us all up.” Those kids had forged an 8-2 lead after four innings. Matt Silinskie and Matt Hindmarsh both homered to get things started before they took advantage of three West Pittston errors in the fourth to score four unearned runs. When Wyoming/West Wyoming starter Tanner Williams then retired the first two batters he faced in the fifth, things were looking very comfortable. Then came a solo shot off the bat of West Pittston clean-up hit-

SAINT-QUENTIN, France — In yet another crash-marred finish, Andre Greipel of Germany led a frenzied bunch sprint to win the fifth stage of the Tour de France on Thursday for his second straight stage victory.

Fabian Cancellara retained the overall leader’s yellow jersey for a sixth straight day after the mostly flat 122-mile trek from Rouen to Saint-Quentin — almost tailormade for sprinters except for a slight uphill near the end. But the Tour’s doping demons returned to cast a shadow. A

Unlikely rally lifts Mets in 9th The Associated Press

NEW YORK — David Wright singled off Jonathan Papelbon with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, lifting the New York Mets to a 6-5 comeback victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night that preserved R.A. Dickey’s 11-game winning streak. Mets catcher Josh Thole prevented a run in the eighth when he held on to the ball despite being barreled over at home plate by Mike Fontenot. Daniel Murphy lined a shot off Papelbon’s leg for the tying run with two outs in the ninth, setting the stage for Wright. Ike Davis began the ninth with a double off Papelbon (2-3). Thole sacrificed pinchrunner Ronny Cedeno to third before Kirk Nieuwenhuis struck out. Papelbon then hit Jordany Valdespin with a 3-2 pitch and walked Ruben Tejada on a full-count to load the bases. Bobby Parnell (2-1) pitched the ninth for the Mets, winners of six of eight. Pirates 2, Astros 0

PITTSBURGH — Jeff Karstens scattered four hits over eight innings and the surging Pittsburgh Pirates blanked the Houston Astros. Karstens (2-2) struck out a season-high eight against just one walk as the Pirates completed their first four-game sweep of the Astros at home since 1979. Joel Hanrahan pitched the ninth to record his 22nd save. Garrett Jones and Casey McGehee each drove in a run for Pittsburgh, which has won eight of nine to vault into first

in the NL Central. Houston’s Bud Norris (5-6) gave up two runs and five hits in seven solid innings but the Astros’ offense sputtered a day after trading slugger Carlos Lee to Miami. Houston managed four singles and didn’t get a runner to third base until the ninth while losing its eighth straight game. Marlins 4, Brewers 0

MILWAUKEE — Carlos Lee doubled and scored in his Miami debut, Mark Buerhle struck out a season-best eight over 72⁄3 innings and the Marlins beat the Milwaukee Brewers to split the four-game series. Lee, acquired in a trade with the Houston Astros on Wednesday, started at first base. Nationals 6, Giants 5

WASHINGTON — Bryce Harper scored the winning run when first baseman Brandon Belt couldn’t dig out a shorthop throw on a potential double-play ball in the ninth, and the Washington Nationals completed a sweep with a win over the San Francisco Giants on a night of fond memories of the 1924 World Series. It was throwback night in the nation’s capital, and the “Senators” topped the “New York Giants” with a two-run rally off Santiago Casilla (2-4).

CLEVELAND — Josh Tomlin pitched seven stellar innings and Shin-Soo Choo, Michael Brantley and Travis Hafner homered, leading the Cleveland Indians to a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night. Tomlin (5-5) limited the Rays to one run and two hits, easily the right-hander’s best outing since April. Choo led off the first with a homer off Jeremy Hellickson (4-5), Brantley connected in the second and Travis Hafner homered in the eighth off Jake McGee. White Sox 2, Rangers 1

CHICAGO — Rookie Jose Quintana allowed two hits in eight stellar innings, Kevin Youkilis came through again with a go-ahead homer and the Chicago White Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers. On a scorching day at U.S. Cellular Field — with a firstpitch temperature of 99 degrees that hit 102 by the fourth

inning — Quintana (4-1) walked one and struck out a careerhigh eight. He gave up a leadoff single to Ian Kinsler in the first and an RBI single to Adrian Beltre in the fourth on a line drive that hit the left-hander near the hip and bounded past first. Tigers 7, Twins 3

DETROIT — Prince Fielder hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to break a tie and Delmon Young followed with solo shot to lift Detroit Tigers and a split of the four-game series. Miguel Cabrera’s RBI single for Detroit in the eighth tied it 3-all. The hit scored Austin Jackson, who tripled with one out before pinch hitter Quintin Berry walked. Royals 9, Blue Jays 6

TORONTO — Luke Hochevar won for the third time in four starts after leaving the game with a sprained ankle, Eric Hosmer had three RBIs and the Kansas City Royals beat the Blue Jays.

Darvish, Freese win fan vote By The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish was hit by a line drive during one All-Star game in Japan. He’s hoping to avoid that mishap on Tuesday. Darvish and St. Louis Cardinals third baseman David Freese are headed to the Midsummer Classic after fans voted them into next week’s showcase in Kansas City. “I feel very good,” Darvish said Thursday through an interpreter. “I know the way that I got selected was a vote by the fans, so I appreciate all the fans who voted for me. I’m looking forward to it.” Darvish is the eighth Rangers player on the AL team managed by Texas’ Ron Washington. He beat out four other pitchers: Chicago’s Jake Peavy, Baltimore’s Jason Hammel, Kansas City’s Jonathan Broxton and the Angels’ Ernesto Frieri. “It just wasn’t meant to be,” said Peavy, who was supported by an aggressive marketing campaign by the White Sox. “Obviously we knew it’s hard to outvote a country.” Freese emerged from an NL field that included Atlanta outfielder Michael Bourn, Nationals rookie outfielder Bryce Harper and Arizona second baseman Aaron Hill. Freese is batting .285 with 13 homers. Darvish has made a smooth adjustment to the major leagues after the Rangers committed more than $107 million to bring him to the U.S. The 25year-old right-hander got a guaranteed $56 million, sixyear contract and Texas also paid a record $51.7 million posting bid to his team in Japan. Darvish responded by going 6-1 with a 2.60 ERA in his first eight starts. The rookie leveled off a bit but is 10-5 with a 3.59 ERA for the only team in the majors with 50 wins. And now he’s into his first major league All-Star game.

Dodgers Gordon out for six weeks The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Dee Gordon has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right thumb that will require surgery, and he’s expected to miss six weeks. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said before Thursday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks that doctors expect Gordon to make a full recovery. Gordon, injured Wednesday night sliding headfirst into third base on a steal attempt against Cincinnati, had an MRI earlier Thursday and arrived to the clubhouse with a cast over his right hand. Surgery was scheduled for Friday in the Phoenix area. “He’s a little scared, a little bummed out,” Mattingly said. “I feel bad for the kid. He came in and apologized to me (Wednesday) night. It’s just tough. He’s going to be fine.” Gordon, 24, is in his first full season as the Dodgers’ starting shortstop. He’s batting .229, but leads the National League with 30 stolen bases.

BRIEF

Fire strikes arena

HERSHEY — Fire has damaged the roof of the historic Pennsylvania arena where Wilt Chamberlain scored an NBA record 100 points in a game. Officials say the flames erupted Thursday afternoon at the 75-year-old Hersheypark Arena in Derry Township. The facility is owned by Hershey Entertainment & Resorts, founded when Milton S. Hershey separated his chocolate manufacturing from his other businesses. Hershey spokesman Tim Shellenberger says workers were putting a new roof on the domed building, but it’s unclear if that caused the fire. He says the roof isn’t in danger of collapse. Firefighters extinguished the blaze after about two hours. Some emergency workers were treated for heat exhaustion. The arena opened in 1936. Chamberlain scored 100 points there for the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962. The AHL Hershey Bears played in the arena from 1938 until completion of the nearby Giant Center in 2002.

Palone sets win mark

WASHINGTON, Pa. — Harness racing driver Dave Palone has broken Herve Filion’s North American record for career victories when he piloted Herculotte Hanover to victory in the eighth race at The Meadows. The win on Thursday was the 15,181st of Palone’s 30-year career. The Waynesburg, native began racing in 1982 and earned his first victory in 1983. He’s become a dominant force in the sport over the last three decades, capturing nearly 40 percent of the races he drives in while becoming just the third driver in history to surpass 15,000 wins. The 50-year-old Palone credits his success to his physical fitness and has no plans to retire anytime soon. Heinz Wewering of Germany holds the world record for career harness racing wins, with over 16,000 and counting. Palone has earned a number of his victories at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Plains.

Indians honor Doby

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians are commemorating the 65th anniversary of Larry Doby breaking the AL’s color barrier by re-naming a street in honor of the Hall of Famer. The team will unveil street signs on Larry Doby Way — formerly known as Eagle Ave. — which runs adjacent to Progressive Field, following Friday’s game against Tampa Bay. Members of Doby’s family will be on hand for the postgame ceremony, along with Jim “Mudcat” Grant, one of Doby’s teammates in Cleveland. Also, the U.S. Postal Service is dedicating a stamp for Doby, who signed with the Indians in 1947. Doby helped lead the Indians to a World Series title in 1948 — their last championship. A sixtime All-Star, Doby was inducted in Cooperstown in 1998. He died in 2003 at age 79.

NFLPA, LB Vilma take legal action against league

The NFL faces two lawsuits because of its handling of the Saints’ alleged bounty case. By BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer

NEW ORLEANS — The NFL Players Association filed a lawsuit against the NFL on behalf of three players suspended in connection with the bounty investigation, calling Commissioner Roger Goodell “incurably and evidently biased.” The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Will Smith, Scott Fujita and Anthony Hargrove on Thursday in federal court in New Orleans, highlighted a flurry of legal activity surrounding the punishment of four players for what the NFL says was their roles in a program that paid improper cash bonuses for hits that injured opponents. Suspended Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma, who is suing separately in the same court, asked a judge to overturn his suspension while also requesting a temporary restraining order and injunction that would allow the linebacker to quickly return to work and keep working while his case is pending. Goodell, meanwhile, filed a motion to dismiss defamation claims that Vilma made in his ini-

tial lawsuit against the commissioner in May. The motion, which was expected, states that Vilma is barred from making such claims by the dispute resolution process outlined in the NFL’s labor agreement, which also includes a provision barring lawsuits by players against the NFL. But Vilma’s attorney, Peter Ginsburg, said the defamation claims focus “exclusively on statements Mr. Goodell has made publicly and outside the confines of the CBA.” “Mr. Goodell cannot escape responsibility for those public statements based on an argument that statements in a different forum and in a different con-

text might have avoided judicial scrutiny,” Ginsberg said in an email. “Having the title of ‘Commissioner’ does not provide Mr. Goodell with a license to make the accusations and allegations he has made against Jonathan in public forums without facing the same scrutiny as other citizens.” The Saints linebacker, whose suspension is effective immediately, wants the injunction so he may resume rehabilitating his left knee injury at Saints headquarters. Vilma is suspended for a season, Hargrove for eight games, Smith four and Fujita three. Vilma and Smith still play for New Orleans, while Hargrove is with Green Bay and Fujita with Cleve-

land. The NFLPA lawsuit said Goodell violated the league’s labor agreement by showing he had pre-determined the guilt of players punished in the bounty probe before serving as the arbitrator for their June 18 appeal hearing. Two days ago, Goodell denied the players’ appeals, and now the NFLPA is asking a judge to set aside earlier arbitration rulings and order a new arbitrator to preside over the matter. The NFL responded that the action is an “improper attempt to litigate” and said there is “no basis for asking a federal court to put its judgment in place of the procedures agreed upon with the NFLPA in collective bargaining.” “These procedures have been in place, and have served the game and players well, for many decades,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email to The Associated Press. The NFL has said it found that former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams ran a bounty program that paid improper cash bonuses for injuring opponents. Saints had coach Sean Payton has been suspended the entire 2012 season for failing to put a stop to it, while general manager Mickey Loomis has been suspended half a season and assistant head coach Joe Vitt

six games. Williams, now with St. Louis, is suspended indefinitely. The players, however, have claimed they never sought or accepted rewards for injuring opponents. Fujita has said the NFL grossly mischaracterized what was an informal accountability program for teammates to reward one another for big plays such as sacks, forced fumbles and interceptions, something players on many teams have taken part in for years. Several current Saints defensive players who have not been punished, including safety Roman Harper and linebacker Scott Shanle, have publicly defended their current and former teammates, denying that any Saints player sought to do anything more than what they were already paid to do — deliver clean hits as hard as they could. Some players have also suggested that Goodell’s bounty punishments are part of an agenda to make the league look tough on player-safety matters in order to mitigate exposure to lawsuits filed by numerous retired NFL players who claim the league failed to educate them about or prepare them for many of the long-term physical ailments, including brain disease, that a pro football career can cause.

Sit it like Beckham

CARSON, Calif. — David Beckham has been suspended for one game by Major League Soccer’s disciplinary committee for kicking a ball at an opponent late in the Los Angeles Galaxy’s loss at San Jose. MLS announced the suspension Thursday for Beckham, the Galaxy’s superstar midfielder. Beckham kicked a ball at San Jose’s Sam Cronin during stoppage time in Los Angeles’ 4-3 loss to the Earthquakes on June 30. Cronin was down in the penalty box at the time, and Beckham’s kick set off a prolonged argument between the teams. Beckham was issued a yellow card for the kick during the game. He missed the Galaxy’s home loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday night under suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards. The struggling defending MLS champions’ next game is Sunday at Chicago.

KOHLER, Wis. — Americans Cristie Kerr, Brittany Lincicome and Lizette Salas shot 3under 69 on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the U.S. Women’s Open. Ai Miyazato, coming off a victory Sunday in the LPGA Tour event in Arkansas, was a stroke back along with 17-year-old Lexi Thompson, Jennie Lee and Beatriz Recari. Defending champion So Yeon Ryu opened with a 74 as players struggled in the nearly 100-degree heat and high humidity at Blackwolf Run. Se Ri Pak, the 1998 Open winner on the course, had a 72.

Beyond the challenges posed by Blackwolf Run’s layout, plus the heat and humidity, players also had to stay focused during six-hour rounds. “I didn’t realize how slow it was going until I made the turn and it was three hours later,” Thompson said. . Thompson, who became the youngest qualifier in U.S. Women’s Open history at age 12 in 2007, is playing in her sixth Open. She has one career LPGA Tour victory, the Navistar LPGA Classic last year, but now she’d like to win a major. “It would mean a lot,” Thompson said. “That’s a pretty big achievement right there.

U.S. Open champ Webb Simpson topped a group at 65. Woods, coming off a victory Sunday at Congressional, had a 71. He stumbled with a double bogey on the par-5 17th, driving into a hazard, taking a penalty stroke and three-putting from 20 feet. Phil Mickelson, who missed the cut last year, also had a 71.

The 38-year-old Canadian says he spoke to Kobe Bryant by phone Monday to confirm the Lakers star wants to work together. Bryant told Nash they would be a perfect fit in the Lakers’ backcourt. The rest of the Lakers are eager to play with Nash as well.

AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL

Seven teams still in the hunt

Postseason spots remain available as teams look to spoil each other’s hopes. By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

The Wyoming Valley American Legion League is coming down to the final few days of the regular season and seven of the 10 teams are still in contention for a playoff berth, which could make for a really interesting weekend. The double-elimination playoffs begin Friday, July 13, with the top four teams participating. But the simplicity of the postseason scenarios ends right there. What is known is that Greater Pittston (12-5) has secured a playoff berth even if it loses its final game today against Plains

ment, given how often she went for corners and lines. She finished with a 45-14 edge in total winners. “I honestly didn’t feel great on my serve today. I really didn’t,” said Williams, who went back on court later Thursday with older sister Venus to reach the doubles semifinals. “I thought my serve was off, and apparently — clearly — it wasn’t, so maybe I should be off a little more.” And this performance didn’t come against a slouch: Azarenka won the Australian Open in January as part of a 26-0 start to this season, was playing in her third semifinal in the past five major tournaments, and would have returned to No. 1 in the rankings if she had managed to beat Williams. That was not about to happen. Not on this afternoon.

As usual, the Tour riders tried to keep their focus on the race. Citing “well-informed sources,” the newspaper said the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency has given six-month bans to former Armstrong teammates Jonathan Vaughters, George Hincapie, Levi Leipheimer, David Zabriskie and Christian Vande Velde. Vaughters, now a team director at the Garmin-Sharp team, called the report “completely untrue.” The four riders all declined to comment, though Hincapie said his thoughts were with Armstrong. “I’m sad he is going through this,” said Hincapie, the only rider to have been on all of Armstrong’s Tour-winning teams. “He’s done so many things for the sport. His accomplishments

“This decision was reached at the conference level. I brought the plan to president (Thomas) Leary to consider.” The Trailblazers will be part of the newly-formed Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, which features eight members of LCCC’s former league. All of the schools accepted membership in the NJCAA. Scheduling for most seasons will remain unchanged, especially during league play. “The initial part of a season is going to look the same,” said Sullivan, who previously served as athletic director at Raritan Valley Community College in New Jersey, another NJCAA member. “We’ll play the same schools, but the opportunity is there for more play beyond our league. There will be travel to regional and championship tournaments and recognition around the country for the best, and the chance for other coaches around the country to get a look at our athletes. “We will still have our relation-

(7-9), which is out of contention. Hazleton, currently in first place in the league with a 10-4 mark, needs two wins in its last four to secure at least a tie for the No. 4 seed. The Mountain Post-2 squad is 11-5 with two games left. The team plays Back Mountain (10-7) tonight and Swoyersville (7-8) on Sunday. Mountain Post-2 is assured of at least a spot in a possible play-in game even with a pair of losses. With two wins, the team will clinch a postseason berth. As for Back Mountain, if it beats Mountain Post-2 in its last regular season contest, Nanticoke (8-8) and Swoyersville will be eliminated. Tunkhannock (9-7) has a doubleheader against Hazleton on Saturday. It must sweep the twinbill to get in a play-in game. With just one win and a Back Mountain loss today, Tunkhan-

nock will be in a tie-breaker situation. Two losses for Tunkhannock and it’s eliminated from contention. In the event that three teams all tie with 10-8 records, play-in games will be held Tuesday and Wednesday at Mountain Post. If two teams end in a tie for the final spot, the play-in game will be on Tuesday. The playoffs will be held at Mountain Post with two games on July 13, at 3 and 5:30 p.m. There will also be doubleheaders on July 14 and 15, with games slated to begin at 1 and 4 p.m. both days. In the event that a championship game is needed, it will be held on July 16. The top two teams from the WVALL tournament will advance to the Region 5 Tournament, which begins Saturday, July 21, at Connell Park in Scranton.

Not the way Williams is playing, five weeks after a stunning exit at the French Open, her only first-round loss in 48 Grand Slam appearances. “I’ve been working so hard,” the sixth-seeded American said, “and I really, I really wanted it.” She’s now one win away from a fifth Wimbledon championship, adding to those in 200203 and 2009-10, and 14th Grand Slam singles trophy overall — but first in two years. For her, that’s a long gap. Less than a week after her 2010 title, Williams cut her feet on glass at a restaurant, leading to a series of health problems, including being hospitalized for clots in her lungs, then the removal of a pocket of blood under the skin on her stomach. “Serena is blessed to be here,” Dad said. The hardest part of Radwanska’s day probably came during the postmatch news conference, which was cut short after she was overcome by a coughing fit. She appeared to be OK. Never before even a semifi-

nalist at any Grand Slam tournament, Radwanska is the first Polish woman to make it to a major title match since Jadwiga Jedrzejowska lost three finals in the 1930s. Radwanska, whose younger sister Ursula is ranked 54th, will rise to No. 1 for the first time if she wins Saturday. The 24 aces that eluded the considerable wing span of the 6-foot Azarenka broke the tournament record of 23 in a match that Williams herself set last week in a three-set, third-round victory over 25th-seeded Zheng Jie. That, in turn, eclipsed the old Wimbledon mark of 20 aces held by — guess who? — Williams. She’s also up to 81 aces through six matches, eight shy of the tournament record she set in 2010. “When she was little, I wanted her to throw like a boy. I bought her a football. And her serve is just throwing,” Richard Williams said about his daughter. “That’s why the serve is so devastating.”

are incredible.” Cancellara said the case wasn’t discussed in the pack. “For cycling this is not good, that’s for sure,” he said. “That makes me sad. But on the other hand, we have to deal with that — and I hope it’s not something that is going to take three or four years like ... in other cases. “That is my biggest concern: that this is going to shut down fast.”

a spill two days in a row. “Somehow I stayed on my bike,” said Greipel, who turns 30 on July 16. “It was quite a tough finish there ... and it was also luck on our part to catch the breakaway.” The top standings didn’t change: Bradley Wiggins, the leader of Cavendish’s Team Sky, was second overall, seven seconds behind the Swiss leader. Defending champion Cadel Evans of Australia was 17 seconds off the pace in seventh. By holding the lead, Cancellara earned the right to wear the coveted yellow jersey for the 27th time in his career, a record for a rider who has never won the Tour. “When you make history in this kind of way at the Tour, it’s more special,” said Cancellara, a time-trial specialist and the only man to don the yellow this year after winning Saturday’s prologue.

Fantastic finish The barreling pack Thursday overtook three breakaway riders with barely 110 yards left, and Greipel wheeled out in front a split-second ahead of Matt Goss of Australia, who was second, and Juan Jose Haedo of Argentina, who took third. Britain’s Mark Cavendish was fifth. Like in Greipel’s sprint-finish victory a day before, a late crash tarnished the stage, and he counted himself “lucky” to avoid

THE TRAILBLAZERS’ NEW HOME Members of the newly-formed Eastern Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, part of the National Junior College Athletic Association’s Region XIX.

ship with the Penn State schools as well. This will afford students to have more opportunity to see (some of) the world beyond the valley.” The NJCAA is known for producing a number of top athletes, some of whom go onto four-year institutions and even professional sports careers. Three of the 60 players selected in the recent NBA draft were NJCAA products. Meanwhile, MLB teams regularly select players directly from junior colleges during their entry draft. There are 31 schools in Region XIX, with 11 based in Pennsylvania. The one that is most familiar to this area is Lackawanna College of Scranton. Lackawanna is

the lone member of the region to support a football program. “We’ll be Division III, so no scholarships,” Sullivan said. “We will compete with the Pennsylvania schools we’ve been competing with all along. If we’re good in a sport, we get to go places. Students will see a difference.” LCCC will not be required to make any changes to its facilities and the school faces only a nominal increase in expenses to its budget because of new membership dues. With the same opponents and schedules, travel budgets are relatively unchanged, unless a Trailblazers team advances in postseason tournaments.

"I felt pretty good at the plate, being able to see some pitches," Howard said. He got off to a great start in the field, too. Howard ranged a couple steps to his right, leaped to snag a high hopper off the bat of Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre’s Ronnier Mustelier and fired a strike to second base for a force out in the Yankees’ half of the first inning.

"Looks like he’s got the game slowed up pretty well. He’s right on the ball." IronPigs manager Ryne Sandberg on Ryan Howard

Sandberg said. "Good hop around first base, made a nice play there in the hole. I would say he’s running pretty well for what’s to be expected. His batting practice is good, he’s able to get a couple knocks. "I’d say he’s coming along fine." Maybe Hulett was trying to impress the Phillies slugger with a fine night of his own. With the bases loaded and nobody out in the second inning, Hulett golfed a down-and-in pitch from Yankees starter Adam Warren high over the right-field wall for a grand slam and a 5-0 Lehigh Valley lead. "Right guy at the right time, swinging a good bat," Sandberg said. "That’s one of the harder balls I’ve seen him connect on. Good time for it." Hulett was timely again an inning later, when he smoked a one-out single to score Pete Orr with a 6-0 Lehigh Valley lead. "Right now he’s one of the good guys at home plate with men in scoring position," Sandberg said. The Yankees touched IronPigs starter Pat Misch for single runs in the fifth and sixth innings, as

Brandon Laird launched his third home run in as many days and Russell Branyan added an RBI single to score Corban Joseph. But that’s all Misch allowed while improving to 6-10 on the season. "One of his better outings," Sandberg said. "It was a lift that we could have used, and we got it." With the loss the Yankees are now 41⁄2 games behind the IronPigs in the North Divison.

United States men’s basketball team set for camp and roster picks By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

LAS VEGAS — LeBron James won a championship. Deron Williams became nearly $100 million richer. Kobe Bryant got Steve Nash as his backcourt partner. See, it hasn’t been all bad news for the U.S. men’s basketball players. But overall it’s been a rough year so far, and the impact will be obvious Friday when the Americans open training camp with about three weeks until their Olympic opener. The Americans planned to arrive with their 12-man squad already selected, keeping the focus entirely on the road to London. Instead, their plans, just like their roster, have been wrecked by injuries. When practice opens on the campus of UNLV, the top priority will be determining who among the players still standing get the last available spots. The Americans will finally select their team Saturday night. “We would have already made the decision if it wasn’t for the injuries and the length of the NBA season,” U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “We have a pretty good idea of who will be on the team, but the last one or two

spots, you’re not sure of, so you want to see the guys physically and talk to them.” “They’re not trying out; all of them are good enough to be on the team. It’s where are they at right now, and how do they complement the nine or 10 guys that you already pretty much know are already on the team?” Krzyzewski said the Americans were deeper now than the squads he led to gold medals in the 2008 Olympics and 2010 world basketball championship, and the team has needed every bit of that depth. NBA All-Stars Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, who would have made up one-third of the team, all have been lost to injuries. Lamar Odom, who still had a shot despite his miserable NBA season, opted not to play. Anthony Davis’ health is uncertain after the No. 1 pick sprained an ankle working out with the New Orleans Hornets. All the injuries forced the Americans to scrap their plans to name their12-man roster June18. They’ve lost some of their size and explosiveness, figuring they still have plenty left to defend their Olympic title. “While it is unfortunate to have lost the players we have, Coach

Krzyzewski and I remain extremely confident with the group of players we’ll have at our training camp in Las Vegas. We believe that we will still have an outstanding collection of talent and that ultimately we will have another team that all Americans will be excited about and proud of,” USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said in a statement this week announcing Odom’s withdrawal. The Americans are left with five players from Beijing: James, Bryant, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Williams, who agreed this week to a five-year extension with the Nets that will pay him about $98 million. Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Tyson Chandler and Kevin Love return from the young squad that won gold in Istanbul two summers ago. Blake Griffin would seem to have a good chance if he’s recovered from some knee trouble that slowed him in the playoffs, because the Americans could use his size. Beyond that, questions remain. —Is Davis healthy enough and talented enough to overcome his inexperience? —Is there room for Andre Iguodala as a defensive specialist? —Does Wade’s absence open a

I N J U R Y S I D E L I N E S B O LT

spot for a scorer such as Eric Gordon or James Harden off the bench? —Can Rudy Gay be an answer at power forward? Krzyzewski didn’t want to make any assumptions until he had his players on the floor. “We’re hoping that everyone that we have on the roster now is able to play and wanting to play,” he said. “You don’t know that until you actually get to Vegas, because there’s always concerns on my part for injuries, family matters and contractual stuff. Over the seven years I’ve done it, those three things have eliminated certain guys from being on the team.” The Americans will announce the roster during an NBA TV special Saturday night.

LONDON (AP) — Usain Bolt has more than Yohan Blake to worry about ahead of the London Olympics. Now he’s got an injury to contend with and likely won’t run again until the games. Exactly one month before the 100-meter final at the Olympics, Bolt pulled out of the July 20 Monaco Diamond League meet Thursday with a “a slight problem” that occurred during the recent Jamaican Olympic trials, his coach Glen Mills said. The withdrawal followed the double blow of losing in the 100 and 200 to training partner Blake at the trials, a reality check before the Olympics. Bolt was scheduled to run the 200 in Monaco in his final tuneup before the games, but will now come to the Olympics following two losses. Despite the withdrawal, the 25-year-old Bolt insisted he’ll be at the games to retain the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay titles he won in Beijing four years ago in world-record times. “I am happy to have earned my spot on the Jamaican Olympic team despite the challenge,” Bolt said in a statement. “I will be in London to defend my titles.” After congratulating Blake with a big hug after the 200 in Kingston on Sunday, Bolt lay flat on his back and had his right hamstring stretched out by a trainer. His loss two days earlier in the 100 came after a poor start. “After careful assessment I have had to withdraw him from the Samsung Diamond League Meeting in Monaco on July 20 to give him sufficient time for treatment and time to train and prepare for the Olympic Games in London,” Mills said.

American merger delay OK with CEO

B R I E F

Retail sales sluggish

Shoppers, worried about jobs and the economy, pulled back on spending in June, slowing down sales for many retailers. The figures have shown an uneven recovery. Discounters and high-end stores notched stronger growth last month. But for most, sales were disappointing. Big chains like Costco, Kohl’s and Macy’s fell short of expectations. The Bon-Ton Stores Inc. said comparable store sales dropped 0.8 percent. Overall, the ICSC tally of 23 chain stores nationwide rose only 0.2 percent, after a 1.7 percent increase in May. Excluding drug stores, the index was up 2.6 percent, the low end of the 2.5 to 3.3 percent rise the mall group had predicted. That was a sharp slowdown from a 4 percent gain in May.

ECB cuts interest rate

The European Central Bank cut its benchmark interest rate to a record low Thursday to spark economic growth but gave little sign it would take further action soon to ease Europe’s financial crisis. By cutting its key refinancing rate by a quarter percentage point to 0.75, a move that was widely expected, the ECB sought to give Europe’s sagging economy a lift by making it cheaper for businesses and consumers to borrow. In a more surprising move, the ECB also cut the interest rate it pays banks on overnight deposits by a quarter percentage point — to zero.

BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

Back in the news business By RON BARTIZEK rbartizek@timesleader.com

LUZERNE – Six months after retiring from an executive job at The Times Leader, Dick DeHaven is back in the newspaper business, although on a different scale. “Once a newspaper man, always a newspaper man,” DeHaven said Thursday, talking by cellphone as he was out delivering the first issue of the Westside Bulletin, the monthly paper where he’s publisher, owner and just about everything else. “I’m the one-person show,” DeHaven said, quickly adding that he employs a correspondent to write articles and his wife, Marilyn, helps out with a website. At age 67, with both a birthday and his 50th year in the newspaper business coming up in October, DeHaven felt his

Walgreen Co. took another step Thursday in its push to grow through acquisitions when it announced the $438 million purchase of a regional chain that operates USA Drug, Super D and May’s drugstores. Walgreen plans to buy 144 stores in a chain focused on the mid-South from the privately held Stephen L. LaFrance Holdings Inc., which is based in Little Rock, Ark.

Trade complaint vs. China

The United States launched a trade complaint Thursday against China at the World Trade Organization, accusing Beijing of unfairly imposing duties on more than $3 billion in exports of American-produced automobiles. Last month, the U.S. successfully challenged Chinese tariffs imposed on American high-technology steel products and has also disputed tariffs levied on chicken products.

WASHINGTON — U.S. service companies grew in June at the slowest pace in nearly two and a half years, more evidence that the economy has weakened. But those same firms boosted hiring last month, supporting other data that show job growth may have picked up last month.

career was unfinished. “I really wanted to do this for many years,” he said, but the demands of management jobs left little time to plan for his own publication. Retirement in January from his position as vice president of circulation at The Times Leader changed that. Starting as a deliveryman at the Philadelphia Bulletin, DeHaven first came to the Wyoming Valley 30 years ago as single copy manager at The Times Leader. After a succession of advances at papers around the nation, he returned in 2006.

Aside from being close to his Dallas home, the West Side offers a good business climate. “There’s so many small businesses starting to pop up,” and they can’t afford to advertise in larger publications or other media, DeHaven said. When he tested the idea on business owners, they mentioned there had been a West Side paper for many years and they missed it, he said. The Westside Bulletin will be published monthly, which makes it possible for DeHaven to sell ads, produce the paper and deliver it by himself. It’s available free at convenience stores, supermarkets, drug stores and other places with high traffic count from Plymouth to Exeter, he said. Content will be “all community oriented” about area schools, youth groups, service clubs and family activities. “If it works out, maybe it’ll go every other week,” DeHaven said.

The CEO of US Airways says he still wants to merge with American Airlines, but he’s in no hurry. US Airways CEO Doug Parker has been publicly pushing for a deal with American since April 20, when he won the support of American’s three unions. American filed for bankruptcy protection in November, and its executives have resisted a merger, although they have agreed with creditors to study merger options. But bankruptcy issues have stalled merger efforts. American is likely to get more time to propose its own reorganization plan. And getting new contracts with its unions is taking longer than expected. “That delay is fine by us — there is certainly no urgency for us to merge,” Parker wrote in a message to employees on Wednesday. He said the delay is fine as long as his airline gets “a fair chance to present our superior alternative” in time with merge with American as it comes out of bankruptcy. Airline bankruptcies are complicated, and American’s has been no exception. It has asked a judge for the right to rewrite labor contracts, while at the same time trying to negotiate new contracts with its unions. American’s pilots are voting through Aug. 8 on a contract offer. Meanwhile, American’s exclusive right to propose its reorganization plan had been set to end on Sept. 28, giving US Airways a chance to present its merger plan. Now, American’s creditors have agreed to an extension through Dec. 28. The extension does not reduce the likelihood of a merger with US Airways, wrote Hunter Keay, an analyst with Wolfe Trahan, in a note to clients on Tuesday. He doesn’t expect American parent AMR to be ready to emerge from bankruptcy this year.

If you like it hot, you're going to love the weather today and tomorrow. If you're not a fan of the heat and humidity, hang in there. Some relief will be here on Sunday. Until then, today will be hazy, hot and humid with afternoon temperatures in the 90s. Tonight will be warm and humid with a low of 65. A cold front will move through the region Saturday night into Sunday. Cooler air behind the front will spread over PA on Sunday, bringing the heat and humidity to an end for a while. Showers and thunderstorms will likely form along the front Saturday night as well. - Kurt Aaron
