A company created at the request of Luzerne County officials to serve as a temporary employment agency provided cash, suits and even New York Mets tickets to former Commissioner Greg Skrepenak, according to one of the recipients in his appeal of a federal prison sentence related to the kickbacks. Doug Richards, former county human Richards resources director, pleaded guilty to accepting money from Continental Consultants Group of New York City and was sentenced to 15 months in prison in December. But he challenged the government’s characterization of him as a “high government official” and disclosed new details of other kickbacks paid by the company that have not resulted in charges. Richards, 45, of Wilkes-Barre, included his pre-sentence investigation report among the documents filed Tuesday with 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The report prepared more than a year ago for his sentence in U.S. District Court, Scranton, names others caught up in the ongoing public corruption including Skrepenak, former county deputy chief clerk Bill Brace and former county housing authority member and retired Wilkes-Barre police detective William Maguire. Brace pleaded guilty to receiving a $1,500 tailored suit in return for supporting a contract for an unnamed company. Skrepenak and Maguire pleaded guilty to receiving payments See KICKBACKS, Page 4A

A private energy company is seeking to build two new natural gas power plants in the burgeoning gas-fields of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Vienna, Va.-based Moxie Energy plans to build new combustion-turbine plants, each capable of providing power to 750,000 homes, in Asylum Township, Bradford County, and Clinton Township, Lycoming County. “It’s the ability to get part of the energy out of the region over the wires instead of through the

M pipes (that attracted the company to the area),” Moxie Energy President Aaron Samson said. Both areas are surrounded by some of the most active and pro-

ductive Marcellus Shale gas fields in the state. Between January 2009 and May 2011, there See POWER, Page 8A

Bardo: End appeals, give me death By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – In a onepage, handwritten letter to the state Attorney General’s Office, convicted murderer Michael Bardo said he wishes to stop any further appeals in his case and go forward with the sentence handed down to him – the death penalty. “I no longer wish to pursue with a situation that I believe is prolonging the inevitable,” Bardo wrote in the letter dated June 27 to Deputy Attorney General Kelley Nelson. “This is to inform you of my intention to withdraw my current (Post Conviction Relief Act) petition from the court, and that I am waiving any further appeals in my case.” Bardo, 42, was convicted in Ja-

nuary 1993 of first-degree murder and two counts of indecent aggravated assault for molesting and killing his niece, Joelle Donovan. Police said Bardo stuffed the girl’s body in a garbage bag and threw it into Solomon Creek in South Wilkes-Barre. Bardo was sentenced to death, and a death warrant was signed by then-Gov. Ed Rendell in January 2006. Later that month, Senior Judge Patrick Toole issued a stay of execution, allowing Bardo’s attorneys time to review records and prepare an appeal. Bardo’s handwritten letter was attached to a request filed by Nelson to dismiss and vacate the stay. Nelson cites Bardo’s letter, as well as notification by Bardo that he has “already sent a letter” to

his attorneys explaining his reasons for the request. Nelson said in the filing she does not oppose a hearing to determine if a conflict exists between Bardo and his attorneys or to determine whether new attorneys should be appointed, or if Bardo really does want to proceed with execution. A Luzerne County judge has not yet scheduled a hearing to make a determination, or accept Bardo’s request to go forward with execution. In Bardo’s previous PCRA filing and hearings, his attorneys, James Moreno, Victor Abreu and David Osborne, had alleged lawyers who presented Bardo at his trial in 1993 “dropped the ball” and were ineffective in that they failed to present evidence that Bardo suffered from mental health disorders.

Cops: Unruly man caught at traffic stop was fugitive By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – City police said they captured a fugitive who became unruly during a traffic stop on South Main Street on Tuesday night. Police allege Angus Alphonso Garrison, 24, of Cooper Street, Pringle, was among a group of people that congregated around officers involved in a traffic stop near the South Main Plaza at about 9:30 p.m. Garrison shouted profanities at officers and refused commands to leave the area, police said. He used another name to

identify himself to an officer, police allege. Police said they learned Garrison’s real name from an identification Garrison card in his pocket and that he was wanted by the Luzerne County Sheriff’s Department on a charge he failed to appear for a court hearing in June. He was arraigned Wednesday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on a charge of giving false identification to law enforcement. He

was jailed at the county prison on the arrest warrant. Court records show Garrison is facing a trial on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment and harassment when he allegedly used his forearm to push a woman off a bicycle on Old River Road on Aug. 4. Garrison became a fugitive when he failed to appear for a court hearing on June 16 on a bail revocation request by prosecutors. A preliminary hearing on the latest charges is scheduled on July 13 in Central Court.

she didn’t accept his job offer at that time. He said deputies often run county offices in the absence of elected row officers, but he rarely misses work and needs her to concentrate on audits. Griffith said he wants Derolf to start by auditing row offices that will be eliminated under the county’s new home rule government,includingthesheriffandtreasurer. Home rule will also eliminate the elected coroner, recorder of deeds, register of wills, two jury commissioners, clerk of courts and prothonotary. However, four of these row officers will remain in office and continue to be paid until their terms expire at the end of 2013: Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olengin-

Griffith said the sheriff and treasurer’s office are “big revenue generators” for the county, and they haven’t been audited by the controller’s office since 2005. The office has audited the coroner, registerofwillsandpartoftheprothonotary’s office since he became controller in January 2010, Griffith said. Auditing will become the controller office’s chief responsibility when the county switches to home rule, Griffith said. He plans to continue monitoring all payments under home rule, though the new government takes away his power to stop payment on checks.

House fire forces out 5

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Around 35,000 addresses have changed in Luzerne County since 911 was implemented1998, and more adjustments are coming. Most of the changes involve rural routes, box numbers and unnamed private country lanes or driveways that make it difficult for 911 dispatchers to pinpoint locations. Residents in Dallas Township and Dallas borough are the latest to receive new addresses, and Kingston and Bear Creek townships will be next, officials say. Harveys Lake residents received new addresses in April. The county 911 has received around 50 “A lot of complaints out of the people roughly 2,000 Dallas don’t like area residents who recently received adchange and dress changes, includlose focus ing one caller who wanted to know if the that we’re county was going to doing this pay for new stationary the new address, purely for with said Fred Rosencrans, the safety 911 Data/Technical of county Support Manager.

Emergency responders can’t depend on callers’ descriptions of an area as they’re scrambling to respond to a call, he said. “Telling us to turn left at the old oak tree doesn’t work anymore,” Rosencrans said. “That oak tree can get cut down, and we don’t know where that oak tree is in Hanover Township where dispatchers take the emergency calls.” A countywide standard addressing ordinance requires all residences to have a clearly identifiable 911 address for police, fire and ambulance calls, Rosencrans said. Private lanes or driveways must be named if they are more than 1,000 feet or lead to two or more homes, the ordinance says. Rural routes and town identifiers instituted by the postal service are often vague and illogical, he said. For example, someone with a Dallas postal address could live in one of four or five municipalities, he said, noting that populations have swelled in many townships and other outlying areas that have postage rural routes, Rosencrans said. “It’s fine if mail doesn’t get delivered, but if fire, police or other emergency services don’t get delivered, you could end up hurt or dead, and that’s the main See 911, Page 4A

Murder suspect changes plea Robert G. Zola’s action angers the daughter of the woman he is charged with killing.

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Mountain Top man, scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday on a third-degree murder charge in the stabbing death of a woman, withdrew his plea and will now face a first-degree murder charge at an October trial. Robert George Zola, 46, had pleaded guilty to the charge in April, but in a handwritten letter to Judge Joseph Cosgrove on June 23, said he wished to withdraw his plea and asked for new lawyers. “He should just stop jerking us around,” Rosemarie Cave’s daughter, Alyssa Ledden, told reporters Wednesday. “I’m angry … I’m fed up.” Prosecutors allege Zola stabbed Cave, 35, numerous times on Dec. 14, 2009, inside her residence. “It’s just ridiculous already. It’s so stressful … everyone is suffering,” Ledden said. Ledden’s grandmother and the mother of Cave, Rosemarie Sult, left

court Wednesday visibly shaken. “I’m disgusted,” Sult said. When Zola entered the guilty plea in April, there had been discussion of him pulling his plea. After Cosgrove’s lengthy questioning, Zola rescinded his request to withdraw the plea. Zola has previously asked for new attorneys a number of times, but Cosgrove would not permit a change because he didn’t feel that attorneys Joseph Yeager and Ferris Webby were ineffective. On Wednesday, Cosgrove mirrored his previous commentary on the subject, saying he was not going to allow the attorneys to withdraw and further questioned Zola on his intent to go to trial. “There’s no coming back from this,” Cosgrove said. In Zola’s handwritten letter to Cosgrove and his attorneys, Zola said he is not guilty of third-degree murder, but voluntary manslaughter. He said that at the time of his guilty plea, attorneys did not explain to him the different degrees of murder. “I was pressured, coerced and forced into this guilty plea,” Zola wrote. Assistant District Attorneys Chester Dudick and Alexis Falvello said

Prosecutors want to use old conviction at trial The attorney for Helen Galli, charged with poisoning, says the data will be prejudicial. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Prosecutors filed a request to use a conviction 20 years ago against a woman accused of poisoning her son’s girlfriend. Helen Galli, 79, of East Seventh Street, Wyoming, was charged by state police at Wyoming and Luzerne County detectives in March with lac-

ing juice with antifreeze that was consumed by Dawn Simyan, 41, on March 31, 2010. Investigators allege in arrest records that Simyan suffered Galli ethylene glycol poisoning that led to acute kidney failure. Simyan was hospitalized for several days.

Police: Pets left in trailer

Several law-enforcement agencies said they will file charges against the owners of 12 dogs and one cat left for hours in an unventilated trailer on Monday. Dupont police said they found the portable camping trailer at the Petro Service Area on state Route 315 at 12:30 p.m. It was parked at the service area from approximately 6 a.m. until the owners returned at approximately 5 p.m., Sgt. John Saranchuk said. The animals had no food and water, and until police arrived and broke a window, the trailer was unventilated, Saranchuk said. Dupont police said they will file animal cruelty charges against the owners of the trailer, Jason Caudill and Penny Echler, of Arkansas. Caudill is also being cited by Pittston Township police on animal cruelty charges stemming from a separate incident, Saranchuk said, making this charge a more serious, misdemeanor charge. The SPCA of Wyoming Valley’s humane officer may also file animal cruelty charges, but the agency will drop them if the owners sign custody of the dogs over to the SPCA, spokeswoman Cary Moran said. So far, that hasn’t happened. Moran said the animals are doing well and are getting more friendly and less shy by the day.

Nanticoke man facing charges in 2 towns By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

HANOVER TWP. – A man accused of stealing copper and brass from the Moon Lake Park pool house in Plymouth Township found himself in two district courtrooms on Wednesday. Jonathan Kemmerer, 27, of East Broad Street, Nanticoke, first appeared before District Judge Joseph Halesey in Hanover Township, where he was arraigned on charges filed by township police that he

robbed Shelley’s Pizza on Carey Avenue. After his arraignment before Halesey, police took Kemmerer to District Judge Kemmerer Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke, where he waived his right to a preliminary hearing on charges by Nanticoke police that he robbed the Cocoa Hut Convenient Mart on East Main.

Kemmerer allegedly admitted he robbed the businesses for money to support a cocaine addiction, according to arrest records. He remains jailed at the county prison for lack of $45,000 total bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on July 19 before Halesey. State police allege Kemmerer was one of two men who stole copper wire and brass fittings from the park’s pool house in December. Kemmerer is facing theft-related charges in county court.

December trial date set for woman charged in boyfriend’s death Demetrius Fannick, pleaded not guilty to a single count of criminal homicide at a May arraignment. Assistant District Attorneys Chester Dudick and Rebecca Reimiller are prosecuting. Investigators allege Jordan killed Milo Vincent Reilly, 45, inside a Valley View Drive, Pringle, house on March 8. The couple had been in a relationship for 18 months, investigators said. Jordan allegedly told investigators she left the house after an argu-

ment with Reilly. She said she returned later that night and had to smash a window to get in. Jordan said the argument continued for the rest of the night. Reilly was on a bed, Jordan told investigators, when she reached into a closet and grabbed a loaded shotgun that she fired at his head, according to the affidavit. Several months before , Kingston police had charged Reilly with assaulting Jordan during a domestic dispute at the home in December.

She pleaded guilty to arson, corruption of minors and criminal conspiracy prior to the start of a jury trial in 1991. A charge of criminal attempt to commit homicide against Galli was withdrawn when she pleaded guilty to the fire, court records say. “The commonwealth plans to present this evidence to show (Galli’s) motive,” McCabe wrote in the petition. “The commonwealth will show that the1990 crime and the present day crime are interrelated by their motive.” “We’re planning to oppose their request,” said Galli’s attorney, Joseph Sklarosky Sr. “It has nothing to do with the current case and it would only prejudice a jury.”

Obama tackles Twitter town hall

Taking advantage of social network, president addresses economic issues raised by tweeters. By JULIE PACE Associated Press

Josh Wilson and his son Aaron enjoy the cooling water of a wading pool fountain Wednesday, as temperatures neared 100 degrees in Sacramento, Calif. California’s Central Valley has been sweltering in recent days, with temperatures hovering around the 100 degree mark. BOSTON

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama kicked off his first Twitter town hall with — what else? — a tweet. Using a laptop set up on a lectern in the East Room of the White House, Obama typed this message: “In order to reduce the deficit, what costs would you cut and what investments would you keep?” The tweet set the tone for the hourlong town hall focused on jobs and the economy, and hosted by Twitter, the social media service. The White House sees social media as an opportunity for the president to interact with Americans directly, particularly the younger

Bulger pleads not guilty

“Whitey” Bulger pleaded not J ames guilty Wednesday to a racketeering

indictment that accuses the reputed former crime boss of participating in 19 murders, some dating back to the 1970s. Bulger said “not guilty” in a clear voice several times during his arraignment on the 32-count indictment in U.S. District Court in Boston. The pleas by Bulger, a former FBI informant, came 16 years after he fled following a federal agent’s warning about a separate indictment, which has since been dismissed. Bulger, 81, escaped prosecution until he was captured last month in California.

SAN FRANCISCO

Court: Halt military gay ban A federal appeals court ordered the U.S. government on Wednesday to immediately cease enforcing the longstanding ban on openly gay members of the military. In a brief two-page order, a threejudge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy must be lifted now that the Obama administration has concluded it’s unconstitutional to treat gay Americans differently under the law. The ruling was the latest legal development in the effort by gay rights supporters to end the policy. It came in response to a motion brought by Log Cabin Republicans, a group for gay GOP members, which last year persuaded a lower court judge to declare the ban unconstitutional. NEW YORK

IMF boss’ lawyers, DA meet Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers and prosecutors met behind closed doors Wednesday for what defense lawyers called a productive meeting, but there was no immediate word on what would happen to a sexual assault case that has foundered on doubts about the accuser’s credibility. Strauss-Kahn lawyers Benjamin Brafman and William W. Taylor said the roughly 90-minute, closed-door session with Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. and assistant prosecutors was constructive. Vance’s office wouldn’t comment on the discussion. FORT WORTH, TEXAS

Shooting suspect facing death The Army psychiatrist charged in the deadly Fort Hood rampage will be tried in a military court and face the death penalty if convicted, the commanding general for the Texas military post announced Wednesday. Maj. Nidal Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder in the November 2009 shooting spree. It was not immediately clear when Hasan will be arraigned in a Fort Hood courtroom. He must plead not guilty because it is a death-penalty case, according to military law. Hasan’s lead attorney, John Galligan, had urged Lt. Gen. Donald Campbell at a meeting in May not to seek the death penalty, saying such cases were more costly, time-consuming and restrictive. In cases where death is not a punishment option for military jurors, soldiers convicted of capital murder are automatically sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.

Anthony awaits word on freedom Twenty-five-year-old mother of dead girl will find out today if she has to remain in jail or if she’ll be released.

A visitor takes a photo Wednesday at an unofficial Caylee Anthony memorial in Orlando, Fla. Casey Anthony waits to learn if she could spend her first night out of jail in almost three years since she was first accused in the death of Caylee, her 2-year-old daughter.

By KYLE HIGHTOWER Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — The not-guilty verdict that could free Casey Anthony by this weekend stunned spectators, legal pundits and the prosecutors who failed to prove she killed her toddler daughter. A day later, jurors were declining to say how they came to their quick decision, and even murkier was Anthony’s relationship with parents who haven’t talked to her since the trial ended. A case that involved years of forensic investigation, weeks of testimony and untold hours of media analysis was ultimately decided by jurors in less than 11 hours. Early in their second day of deliberations, the 12 men and women concluded Tuesday that Anthony lied to investigators but wasn’t guilty in the death of her 2-year-old daughter. Now Anthony waits to learn if she could spend her first night out of jail in almost three years. She was only convicted of four misdemeanor counts of lying to investigators, and it’s possible that the

judge could sentence her Thursday to time already served. The lying counts each carry a maximum sentence of one year. It’s not clear whether Anthony would be welcomed back to the house the 25year-old single mother once shared with her daughter and parents. George and Cindy Anthony left court quickly without hugging or saying anything to their daughter after the verdict was read. Their attorney, Mark Lippman, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Wednesday that they hadn’t spoken with their daughter since the verdict. Anthony has been in jail since her Oc-

tober 2008 arrest on first-degree murder charges. The case began in July of that year when Caylee Anthony was reported missing. Prosecutor Jeff Ashton told NBC’s “Today” show Wednesday that the verdict left him and other prosecutors in shock. “I think I mouthed the word ‘wow’ about five times,” he said. Ashton said he respects the way the jury handled the case, and that he believes they applied the law as they understood it. “Beyond a reasonable doubt is a high standard,” he said.

WASHINGTON — The government has warned airlines that terrorists are considering surgically implanting explosives into people in an attempt to circumvent screening procedures, according to U.S. officials. There is no indication of an immediate plot, but the new information could lead to additional screening procedures at the nation’s airports. Existing scanners would not necessarily detect bombs implanted under a person’s skin, experts said. While the information suggests such a threat would come from overseas rather than domestic groups, federal officials are ordering precautions both in the U.S. and abroad, the official said. The idea of surgically implanting bombs has been examined by intelligence agencies in the past, but new information has suggested that terrorist groups are seriously considering the technique, officials said. A spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration, Nicholas Kimball, said that passengers flying to the United States are likely to face additional screening measures. “These measures are designed to be unpredictable, so passengers should not expect to see the same activity at every international airport,” Kimball said. “Measures may include interaction with passengers, in addition to the use of other screening methods such as pat-downs and the use of enhanced tools and technologies.” Existing scanners cannot detect certain explosive materials like PETN under the skin. They would have to rely on explosive trace detection swabs to detect bombs under the skin, and those are only conducted on a fraction of the passengers.

Brits bloody upset by tabloid paper’s voice mail hacking The focal point is News of the World, facing a spreading advertising boycott, and its execs. By GREGORY KATZ Associated Press

LONDON — Britain’s phone hacking scandal intensified Wednesday as the scope of tabloid intrusion into private voice mails became clearer: Murder victims. Terror victims. Film stars. Sports figures. Politicians. The royal family’s entourage. Almost no one, it seems, was safe

from a tabloid determined to beat its rivals, whatever it takes. The focal point is the News of the World — now facing a spreading advertising boycott — and the top executives of its parent companies: Rebekah Brooks, chief executive of News International, and her boss, media potentate Rupert Murdoch. In his first comment since the latest details emerged, Murdoch said in a statement Wednesday that Brooks would continue to lead his British newspaper operation despite calls for her resignation. The scandal, which has already touched the office of Prime Minister David

Cameron, widened as the Metropolitan Police confirmed they were investigating evidence from News International that the tabloid made illegal payments to police officers in its quest for information. The list of potential victims also grew. Revelations emerged Wednesday that the phones of relatives of people killed in the July 7, 2005, terrorist attacks on London’s transit system, as well as those tied to two more slain schoolgirls, may also have been targeted. The true extent of the hacking is not yet clear — and may not be known for months as inquiries unfold.

A British tabloid, News of the World, is in hot water after a phone hacking scandal widened on Wednesday.

In Parliament, lawmakers held an emergency debate to call for the prosecution of those responsible for hacking into the phone of Milly Dowler, the 13year-old murder victim whose case touched off the scandal, and others.

Shickshinny settles complaint Borough will pay $383 and be released from liability in harassment charge. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

SHICKSHINNY – Council has entered into a settlement agreement with the borough secretary-treasurer regarding a complaint she filed with the state more than a year ago. In the complaint, Melissa Weber alleged harassment and retaliation by Councilwoman Francene Tearpock-Martini. According to a release Weber signed on May 9, she agreed to release the borough from all liability related to the complaint in exchange for $383.24, which Weber said was reim-

MEETINGS Derelict properties a problem SWOYERSVILLE – A number of residents turned out for the borough council meeting Tuesday evening to express their concerns about a number of abandoned, derelict properties along Oliver Street. Residents said the properties in question had waist-high grass and weeds, rodents and snakes, and were attracting vandals. “It’s gotten so bad that I can’t even take my daughter for a walk down the street,” said Charlene Wigle. “I’m actually afraid of the rats.” “I drive by those homes every day,” said Councilman Ronald Alunni. “It’s a shame, but I don’t know what can be done other than what we’re doing.” Borough Zoning Officer Joe Ruscavage said he has issued numerous citations to the property owners to no avail. “I’m literally there every week,” Ruscavage said, “but my hands are tied.” Ruscavage added that three derelict properties on Oliver Street were either up for tax sale, sheriff’s sale or condemned. One angry homeowner asked if it was possible for the borough to step in and do the necessary maintenance. “We don’t want to set a precedent here,” said Alunni. “Pretty soon everyone will want us to cut their grass. There may also be a liability issue.” When informed by residents

bursement for her expenditures or lost wages associated with the complaint. The complaint alleged that, in Weber’s presence, the councilwoman made “numerous offensive, stereotypical and discriminatory remarks” about Jews and vulgar and demeaning comments about others. Weber complained to council and, the complaint alleges, Tearpock-Martini retaliated by suggesting Weber be reprimanded for working unauthorized hours that Weber said she actually worked at no cost to the borough. Weber alleged in the complaint that Tearpock-Martini monopolized her time with self-serving assignments unrelated to borough business and, after Weber complained to

council, Tearpock-Martini regularly attempted to diminish her credibility. Tearpock-Martini has consistently denied all the allegations. Weber said she dropped the complaint because it “became moot” after council passed a resolution last year stating that all communication between elected officials and borough employees should be respectful and non-discriminatory. Tearpock-Martini opposed the resolution, saying it impinged on her rights and hampered her job as a councilwoman because it also states that only council as a whole has the authority to direct the secretary or any other employee to act and that the secretary “should

Tearpock-Martini said she cooperated fully with the commission. She said a commission official told her she could present her testimony over the phone. “They told me it wasn’t necessary to drive down, and I answered every question over the phone in a teleconference,” she said.

Revisiting questions raised previously about a home in Mountain Lake that is rented out to vacationers on a regular basis, the supervisors reported there are no applicable township rules or ordinances that would prevent the property owner from renting the property out. In other business, supervisors noted that representatives of PPL are in the township seeking waivers from residents for treecutting work related to the installation of new power lines. The supervisors also directed the board secretary to contact the state Department of Environmental Protection to inquire about a reported oil spill on Laurel Run Road near Azalea Road. Supervisors and residents noted DEP workers have been observed putting down pads to absorb the spill, but no official notification has been made to the township about the nature of the spill. Janine Ungvarsky Ethics resolution approved WEST PITTSTON – Borough Council on Tuesday night approved the borough’s nepotism policy and code of ethics resolution. The resolution will be in effect within 30 days. Councilman Jim Rose said the measure is a guideline so borough official and employee decisions are not determined “through relationships or mon-

ey.” The code addresses any conflicts of interest concerning immediate family supervising each other, personal affairs affecting official duties, or gifts influencing official actions. The policy will be reviewed annually by borough officials and employees. There is no punishment within the code. Council members Barry Stankus, John Hood and Barry Hosier were absent. Councilman Brian Thornton reminded everyone at the meeting that all meeting reports are available at the borough building for public viewing. It was also announced that police officer Samuel Fuller has achieved his truck inspection certification.

were 657 wells drilled and 1,556 drilling permits issued in Bradford County and 228 wells drilled and 492 drilling permits issued in Lycoming County, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection. Samson estimated there have been 50 gas wells drilled within five miles of the Bradford County plant site outside Towanda, and that gas is so plentiful in the region that the plants will be built without diesel-fired backup generators, a feature gas plants use to operate when natural gas is unavailable. The retirement of aging and more-heavily polluting coal-fired power plants around the country has also created demand for new sources of power, he added. Another company, American Electric Power, recently announced it will retire coal plants producing 6,000 megawatts of power, almost four times the projected output of the two plants combined, by the end of 2014, he said. Mirror images Samson said the plants will be mirror images of each other and each will produce about 800 megawatts of electricity. Each will consist of two gas-fired combustion turbine generators and two heat-recovery steam generators, which will produce steam from hot exhaust gasses and direct it to two steam turbines. The plants also will be equipped with air-cooled condensers, which collect steam and return it to the system as water. These units will keep the plants’ daily water consumption in line with other industrial uses and eliminate the need for the plants to withdraw water from the Susquehanna River or other bodies of water.

Moxie Energy has been in business for more than 20 years, Samson said, and has constructed other natural gas and co-generation plants, as well as wind farms, biomass power plants and liquid natural gas storage and transmission facilities in North and South America. Samson said both communities have been receptive to his company’s plans, though he is sure the plants will eventually attract some opposition from area residents. “It doesn’t matter whether you’re doing wind-powered or biomass technology or natural gas, they’re all the cleanest and the greenest, but as soon as you get into somebody’s neighborhood it doesn’t work,” he said. “They’ll still be plenty of nayGroundbreaking in 2012 sayers I’m sure, but so far it’s been The company hopes to break very positive.” ground on the Bradford County plant, dubbed the Moxie Liberty Generation Plant, in late 2012 and on the Lycoming County plant, dubbed the Moxie Patriot Generation Plant, in early 2013. Each is expected to take about 30 months and cost as much as $800 million to build. Samson said the company has completed pre-application engineering surveys and is now beginning the regulatory permitting process. Each plant will also create 25 to 30 permanent technical operations jobs, adding value to the community even after the current drilling boom ends, Samson said. “When the drilling boom’s over, whenever it will be over, in 10 years or 15 years, it’s nice to have long term big capital investSamson said Moxie Energy decided to include the units, though expensive, in part because of the controversy and regulatory uncertainty surrounding natural gas drilling and water. Eliminating surface water withdrawals will also speed the regulatory permitting process, he said. Natural gas would be delivered to the plants in transmission lines, which would likely be built by the companies producing the gas that powers the plants, and electricity would be delivered to the multistate PJM Interconnection transmission grid via existing high voltage transmission lines adjacent to the two planned plant sites. Power produced at the plants would be delivered via local utilities first, then to utilities further away.

Selenski repeats demand to defend self Times Leader staff

WILKES-BARRE – Doublehomicide suspect Hugo Selenski filed two hand-written motions in Luzerne County Court on Wednesday, repeating his demand to defend himself without the assistance of counsel. Selenski, 37, said he wants to remain at the State Correctional Institution at Retreat, Newport Township, and never agreed with attempts by his court-appointed lead counsel, John Pike, to have him transferred to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. “This defendant would respectfully point out to the court there is no need to be returned to LCCF and points out the gesture as ‘too little, too late’ in restoring any possible revival of a working

relationship between prior counsel and this defendant,” Selenski wrote. Selenski filed a motion Selenski last week seeking to defend himself on two counts of criminal homicide, robbery, abuse of corpse and other charges in the slayings of Tammy Lynn Fassett, 37, and Michael Jason Kerkowski, 37, in May 2002. The bodies of Fassett and Kerkowski were found in a shallow grave outside a Kingston Township house in which Selenski resided on June 5, 2003. A hearing has been scheduled on Aug. 31 on Selenski’s demand

to represent himself at his trial. Selenski also wants an earlier court date than the one Judge William Amesbury scheduled and to prohibit prosecutors from using skeletal remains recovered at the Kingston Township property at trial. Investigators found skeletal remains of at least three other people, of which two have been identified -- Adeiye Keiler and Frank James. Selenski was acquitted by a Luzerne County jury in the homicides of Keiler and James after a two-week trial in March 2006. Selenski is serving a 37 ½-to-65-year state prison sentence after he was convicted by a Monroe County jury in July 2009 of robbing and assaulting a jewelry store owner in January 2003.

OTHER OPINION: MURDER TRIAL

Anthony jurors carried out duty

HE FLORIDA jurors who acquitted Casey Anthony of murdering her 2-year-old daughter didn’t spend a lot of time agonizing over their verdict. After listening to five weeks of testimony, it took them less than 11 hours to agree that they couldn’t connect the dots. People with less information had less trouble coming to a different conclusion, and reaction to Tuesday’s verdict was harsh. O.J. Simpson, anyone? But this is one of those times when you have to swallow hard and say the system worked. Innocent until proven guilty. Prosecutors didn’t make their case. Many people have drawn their own conclusions in the three years since Caylee Anthony was reported missing. It all began with the 911 call played on newscasts across the nation. “There’s something wrong,” the toddler’s grandmother told a dispatcher. “I found my daughter’s car today, and it smells like there’s been a dead body in the damn car.” Casey Anthony told police the same story she had told her mother earlier: Caylee had been taken by a babysitter. A grand jury didn’t believe it. The mother was charged with first-degree murder – punishable by death – plus aggravated child abuse, aggravated man-

slaughter of a child and four counts of lying to law enforcement officers. Two months after Anthony Casey Anthony was indicted, a meter reader found Caylee’s remains in a wooded area near her home. At trial, Anthony changed her story, though she didn’t take the stand. Defense attorneys called Caylee’s death “an accident that snowballed out of control.” The tot drowned in her grandparents’ pool, they said, and Anthony’s father helped dispose of the body. In a panic, he put duct tape on her face to make it look like she was murdered, they said. The father denied it. Jurors agreed Casey Anthony was a liar, convicting her of all four counts of providing false information to police. But rejecting Anthony’s version of events didn’t leave jurors in possession of the truth. Neither side produced conclusive evidence of what happened. We still don’t know how Caylee died. We believe jurors wanted justice for Caylee too. Their job, though, was to weigh the evidence against her mother, and it came up short. Chicago Tribune

QUOTE OF THE DAY “It’s a real mess. Again, I don’t care what number they put on it, it’s a disaster.” U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta The congressman on Tuesday toured flood-ravaged areas of Plymouth and Plymouth Township, pledging to seek federal help for repair work regardless of whether Sunday’s storm damage exceeded the $16 million level needed to earn an official declaration as a disaster.

OTHER OPINION: BELT-TIGHTENING?

State lawmakers see no sacrifice

OU HAVE TO admire the ruling elite in Harrisburg. In the midst of asking sacrifices of virtually everyone in the state, lawmakers managed to obscure the fact that they took care of themselves first. Consider the following budgetary nuggets, courtesy of Tim Potts of Democracy Rising Pennsylvania: • The line item “Senators’ Salaries” shows an increase of 6.2 percent, increasing the cost from $6,340,000 to $6,734,000. • Over in the House, there’s a 44.9 percent increase in “Members’ Compensation,” increasing the cost from $17,656,000 to $25,584,000. Two points to make. First, while workers have been asked to forego pay hikes, lawmakers still intend to take theirs. Second, some will make a big show about donating their raises to charity. Don’t be

fooled. The increase still factors in their fabulous pensions. Want more? The House plans a 25.8 percent increase in “Caucus Operations,” going from $75.9 million this year to $95.5 million next year; and there’s a 182 percent increase in the Commonwealth Mail Processing Center (so they can send you all those colorful newsletters telling you what a great job they’re doing). Democracy Rising added up all the sacrifices being made by the Senate, House and their support agencies and determined the net is a cut of 1/10th of 1 percent, or $474,000. Lawmakers did manage, though, to agree on a 10.1 percent cut in the budget of the State Ethics Commission. Honestly, you can’t make up this stuff. Beaver County Times

Add a burst of civility to those backyard fireworks displays KABOOM! POW! Bang! It’s like fights in the old, campy Batman series. Except you can’t turn it off. Every July 4 – July 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and a few other days if we’re lucky – our South Wilkes-Barre neighborhood takes on the flavor of an explosives test site run by a mad scientist. The sun goes down, the bottle rockets go up. I’m all for a little pyrotechnic partying, and I’m not a doomsayer foreseeing an urban conflagration to rival the burning of Atlanta. But it’s hard not to feel unsettled when the bang seems close enough to rattle a window, and the shower of cinder sounds as if it’s bouncing on your rooftop shingles. Finding a scrap of spent ordnance in your yard a few days later adds to the unease. Illegal fireworks are as old as the laws that limit them, of course. As a kid in West Hazleton, there always was an annual exhibit of similar starbursts and light flashes high in the sky that you knew didn’t come from the legally sanctioned shows at places such as Angela Park. If I remember right, we even contributed to the high-flying light show one year, though don’t ask me where the contraband

COMMENTARY came from; I honestly don’t know. But once Wilkes-Barre became my home, the quantity and power of illegal fireworks seemed to, well, explode. The number of evenings such celebrations occur seemed to increase as well, but there’s no doubt the real noise is still reserved for July 4. The synchronicity is downright eerie. Everyone seems poised with match already aflame at the appointed hour. The sun sets just low enough and BAM! BAM! BAM! Mind you, I’ve seen this show from an ideal vantage point and it’s beautiful. Find a friend or co-worker who owns property uphill on the West Side and get them to let you spend July Fourth evening there. With a few legal fireworks and numerous illegal ones going off, the Wyoming Valley sky becomes a dazzling, dizzying visual feast. But it all begs a few questions.

Corbett backers blamed for cuts to school budgets

read with amusement about the people complaining to their school boards regarding cuts in public school funding for pre-kindergarten, full-day kindergarten, after school activities and sports, as well as potential teacher layoffs and increased taxes. Don’t blame the school boards. Republican Gov. Tom Corbett in his first, proposed state budget cut public school funding by $1 billion, so if you voted for Corbett, you also voted to cut public education by $1 billion.

stem from, the “culture of corruption?” How much easier is it to justify buying and using illegal fireworks in your backyard when dozens of public officials have been convicted of backroom deals? Where do so many people get the money to buy all these illegal fireworks? At times, some of the homegrown shows nearly rival the professional display at Kirby Park. And if we’re going to let so much money be spent, can we do something to keep it local? But most important: Can we at least inject some civil courtesy for neighbors into the illicit displays of freedom fervor? I’m talking about some sort of collective, commonsense finale. Let’s say somewhere between 11 p.m. and midnight. I’m not being curmudgeonly. If culturally we’re going to accept this level of illegal fireworks, so be it. But there are small children in bed, and people who need to get up early for work. Is the country freer with an explosion at 2 a.m.? Alas, the people lighting these sky rockets are at ground zero of those loud explosions. I fear this request for courtesy falls on deaf ears.

Officials: State’s damage estimate too low More than 250 families have reported damage, Plymouth borough manager says.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

PLYMOUTH – State Sen. John Yudichak said his office has been working with Luzerne County Emergency Management concerning the public infrastructure damage on Coal Street in Plymouth and Plymouth Township, and he said the state estimate of $1 million in damages is too low. “The county believes the infrastructure damage is in the range $5 million to $6 million just for the Coal Street area, and

“Our insurance company told us there is nothing they can do,” Tom Serbin, 41, said. “They’re sending us a denial letter. But what are we supposed to do? Nobody has come up here to talk to us.” Serbin’s wife, Sharla, 33, is a diabetic and needs insulin. They have to walk across steep terrain to get to Coal Street and get a ride from family members or friends. They’ve been told it will be a year before Coal Street will be fixed. “We can’t stay up here for a year with no access,” Serbin said. “When winter comes, how are we supposed to walk down there? People have told us to move, but this is our home. How would we get our furniture out of here? Are we supposed to just abandon our home and everything we own?” Serbin said there is an access road area that could be cleared to allow vehicular traffic, but he said township officials have declined to pursue that option. Worries continue Serbin worries about what another heavy rainstorm might do to his property. So much of his yard has been washed away that he worries another storm might cause further erosion and endanger the house’s foundation. “We have so many questions,” he said. “What about school for our two kids? How are they going to get to the bus? Do we stay here and wait it out? Will the government buy us out? Or do we stay and sit here and wait for help?” The Serbins have two children, Kaylee, 10, and Landon, 8. Serbin is a lieutenant of security at the State Correctional Institution at Retreat on Route 11. He’s been there for 17 years and he’s a former police officer and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. “All we want is for somebody to tell us what can be done to help us,” he said. “We don’t want to move. We don’t want to abandon our home. Because we live so close to the creek, we have a dehumidifier running all the time. If we leave and shut that off, I’m sure animals will find their way here and who knows what damage

it will dispute the PEMA estimate,” Yudichak said. “This estimate does not include the damage to private homes in the area.” He said damage assessments are being conducted in Hanover Township, Larksville, Jackson Township and Exeter, where some damage also was reported. Michael Stalnecker of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency has set a preliminary estimate on damage in Plymouth and Plymouth Township at $1 million – far below the required threshold of $16 million to qualify for a presidential disaster area declaration. State Rep. Gerald Mullery, Yudichak and U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta have disputed that estimate. they will do.” Serbin can’t figure out where all the water came from. He said he has heard ruONLINE mors of new housing develTo see video, opments that scan this QR code into your have altered smartphone or the water flow visit www.tidown the mesleadermountain. .com. He and others have said strip mining pits have been filled in recent years – mine land reclamation projects – that could have caused more water to flow down the mountain than in the past. Across the street, the Tkaczyks lost part of their yard. More than half of a vegetable garden has been washed away.

No estimate on private property damage has been released. Yudichak and childhood buddy Mullery have taken a personal interest in the flooding on Coal Street and other areas of Plymouth and Plymouth Township. Both are natives of Plymouth Township. “This strikes very close to home for me,” Mullery said Wednesday. “The property where I grew up on Bradley Street was damaged by this storm. As I walked the streets of Plymouth and the township for the past several days, I spoke with friends, not simply constituents.” And Mullery said this is his first natural disaster as a state representative.

“And the first time they turn to their government for help, it appears we may be turning our backs on them,” Mullery said. “What I have witnessed is a disaster … These people need our help now.” Mullery said his foremost concern is to ensure the homes his constituents continue living in are safe and pose no structural or environmental hazards to them or their families. Yudichak has contacted the state Department of Environmental Protection to determine whether the construction of a flood-control project along the Coal Street Stream area is warranted as result of the extensive damage to the stream bed. Mullery said he understands

that the tremendous amount of rainfall – in excess of 7 inches in less than an hour – resulted in the extensive damage. Joe Mazur, Plymouth borough manager, said more than 250 families have reported damage to their property. He said workrelease prisoners will be in town today to help with the cleanup effort. Mazur, a Wyoming Valley West School Board member, said the cost estimate to repair a retaining wall and gymnasium floor damaged by the flooding at the high school has been set at $1.2 million. Patrick Rothwell, chief of staff for Barletta, said the congressman continues to seek funding to help the flood-ravaged areas.

Public looks for answers after flooding Plymouth Township meeting assembles officials and experts to hear concerns. By WILLIAM BELL Times Leader Correspondent

These two homes on Coal Street in Plymouth have been condemned. Many houses sustained damage in the storm.

Escaped Agnes in ’72 The Tkaczyks find it ironic that their home didn’t receive a drop of water during the 1972 Agnes Flood, yet most of Plymouth and the township was inundated. Elizabeth Tkaczyk, 65, has lived at 300 Coal St. for 44 years. “This creek used to flow very slowly and we never had all these rocks,” Leonard Tkaczyk, 75, said. “We’re not going to leave. Nobody has been up here to talk to us. We have questions and we want answers.” Tom Stanitis was clearing Coal Street Creek and piling large rocks under a damaged retaining wall that runs along his house at 151 Coal St. “Nobody is helping us, so I gotta do something,” Stanitis, 47, said. “Nobody has been around to ask us if we need anything or to ask how we’re doing.” State Sen. John Yudichak, DPlymouth Township, state Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-Newport Township, and U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, toured the site Tuesday with county, municipal and state officials. Joe Judzikowski at 125 Coal St. said a state Department of Environmental Protection employee told him that it will be 40 days before repair work can begin on the creek and the walls. The storm took away most of Judzikowski’s yard, leaving his driveway hanging over the creek and his founda-

tion exposed. James Jones lives in a landlocked home at 350 Curry Hill. A military veteran, Jones gets his medicine delivered via FedEx, but because the road is out the delivery can’t be made. A former heavy-equipment mechanic, Jones said he doesn’t know how he will get his medicine for heart and shoulder problems. At least two homes on Coal Street in Plymouth Township have been condemned and will be purchased by the government, said the owner of one, Margaret Allabaugh, of 180 Coal St. She said she is living with her son in Nanticoke. “The worst part is that nobody has mentioned one word about helping us,” Stanitis said.

Rob Meyers of the Plymouth Fire Department assigns Bear Creek campers to help people flooded in the Plymouth area.

“We’ll probably have to pay a guy to get rid of the mud,” he said before the Bear Creek campers showed up. Lauren Remillard of Bear Creek Camp said about 25 to 30 camp counselors and disciples were part of the group helping flood victims. Kathryn Baxter and Samantha Dalton were the unit coordinators assigned to the group, made up of volunteers 16

years old and older. Many of the residents on Ransom Street said they feel they have been ignored by officials. They said that when elected officials toured Coal Street Tuesday, they didn’t stop at Ransom Street to assess the damage. “It’s a mud hole down here,” Phil Aumick said. Across the street, several families were having water and mud

removed from basements. Dolores Hoover, 632 Ransom St., said she has never seen anything like this on her street. “Nobody has come down here to see what we’re dealing with,” she said. Fred McElwee lives at 620 Ransom. Water and mud was being pumped out of his basement Wednesday. “We’ve had water come down

here before, but never anything like this,” McElwee said, pointing to a water line on a garage. Ransom Street, Kuschke Street and West Main Street all had piles of mud and debris on the sidewalk awaiting removal. The scene was reminiscent of the 1972 Agnes Flood when much of Plymouth was under water and the cleanup lasted for months.

PLYMOUTH TWP.-- Affected residents jammed the meeting room at the township building on Wednesday night expressing concerns and looking for answers in the wake of Sunday’s flash flooding in the township and neighboring Plymouth Borough. During public comment, the lack of insurance to cover damage came up repeatedly. Most homes did not have flood insurance since they were out of the “flood plain” and on a hill. Residents told stories of having no access to their homes, totaled basements, flipped oil tanks, missing front yards and destroyed homes. Elected officials and experts that the township assembled to answer questions included state Rep. Gerald Mullery, Mark Grohuski of state Sen. John Yudichak’s office, Gino Bartoli of the A.J. Lupas Insurance Agency, which is the township’s insurance firm, and Nate Tompkins, the township engineer. Also present were representatives from the Red Cross, the Salvation Army and the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief. Board of Supervisors Chairperson Gale Conrad said the township has only three public works employees and limited finances to deal with a disaster that destroyed large portions of public infrastructure, including the Coal Street Bridge. She said it was important for residents to complete damage reports for the county Emergency Management Agency because any potential disaster assistance hinges on reaching certain thresholds of damage. Township officials announced these actions that are under way or planned: • The fire department has developed contingency plans for response to damaged areas. • The public works department will continue to work to clean up. • Assessments by the township engineer and the county Emergency Management Agency will continue • The offices of Yudichak, Mullery, and U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta will continue to assist the residents and the township • The Red Cross will continue to offer services at the fire hall. • The Salvation Army will be providing dinners at its canteen by the fire hall at least through Friday. • The South Baptist Relief is planning to have volunteer cleanup crews by the weekend. An announcement will be made of when pickup of flood debris will begin.

Clemens trial could bring out the stars

Potential witnesses for both sides include famous sluggers McGwire, Bonds, Sosa, Palmeiro and Canseco. The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Roger Clemens’ perjury trial opened Wednesday with both sides raising the prospect of calling a roster of former baseball stars as witnesses and the judge angrily criticizing Congress for withholding an audiotape of Clemens’ deposition at the heart of the case. Clemens is accused of lying under oath to the House Government Reform Committee in 2008 when he denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs during his record-setting career as a ma-

jor league pitcher. The trial began with an intensive jury selection process expected to last into next week. Prosecutors and the defense read the panel a list of people who Clemens may be called as witnesses or mentioned at the trial. It included some of the biggest names in baseball, among them players who have been at the center of the steroid scandal such as Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro and Jose Canseco. Also on the list were baseball commissioner Bud Selig, New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman, former Yankees manager Joe Torre, former players union director Donald Fehr

and several other officials and teammates from the four major league teams Clemens played for. Jurors were asked about their knowledge of those figures as well as their feelings about the case, baseball, Congress and the law. They were asked whether they played organized sports, read sports news or were baseball fans. One woman was not. “I can’t imagine spending money to watch a sport where guys scratch themselves and spit a lot,” she said, drawing a smile from Clemens, who otherwise sat expressionless through most of the proceedings. Another potential juror, former personal trainer and Little League coach Omari Bradley, said he was an avid sports fan who has seen a media drum-

beat that Clemens should just admit he used steroids. Clemens attorney Rusty Hardin asked, “Can you be one of the few men in America not to be affected by it or are we going to start out this trial with you thinking he probably did it?” Bradley, 37, responded it would be difficult for him to find Clemens not guilty. The judge excused him and two others. Six were told to return Tuesday in hopes of seating a panel that day. The initial trial day began with a vigorous debate over the tape of Clemens deposition to House Government Reform Committee staff on Feb. 5, 2008. Ten of the 15 false or misleading statements Clemens is accused of making to Congress came during that deposition — the other five were during a public hearing eight days later.

IOC awards ’18 Games to S. Korea Pyeongchang decisively wins a bid over Munich on its third attempt to host the Winter Olympics. By STEPHEN WILSON AP Sports Writer

DURBAN, South Africa — The victory margin was massive and the message loud and clear: Persistence paid off for South Korea in its third consecutive bid for the Winter Olympics. After two stinging defeats in a decade of trying, the South Korean city of Pyeongchang finally won its Olympic prize Wednesday, burying two European rivals in a landslide vote for the 2018 Winter Games and bringing them back to the lucrative Asian market. “We are grateful to people who persevere and are patient. Each time the bid improved,” International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said. The Koreans lost narrowly in the final round of voting for the 2010 and 2014 Games, but this time they defeated Munich and Annecy, France, by a one-sided margin that few had expected. “Koreans have been waiting for 10 years to host the Winter Games,” bid leader Cho Yang-ho said. “Now we have finally achieved our dream. “I believe that all the IOC members understood our message. They understood it was right time, right place, right now.” Needing 48 votes for victory, Pyeongchang won an overwhelming 63 of the 95 cast in the first round of the secret ballot. Munich received 25 and Annecy seven. “I was surprised by the one-round victory and I was surprised by the margin,” Rogge told The Associated Press. “We had three technically equivalent bids and then the other factors came into play and definitely the patience and See GAMES, Page 7B

Jesus Feliciano got the first run-scoring hit for the Bisons to cut the lead to 2-1. Two batters later, Mike Nickeas had a two-run single to give Buffalo a 3-2 advantage. Warren ran into hard luck in the inning. He got ahead of seven of the eight batters in the frame and many of the knocks were softly hit. “I felt like I was getting ahead of the hitters for the most part. I just had

Not swinging, but making them all miss

omewhere in the outfield, Brian Gordon lost his enthusiasm. He created enough excitement with his bat and his glove to play as an outfielder at the Triple-A level for three different teams. But as his batting average soared, his heart sunk. Sitting on the brink of going up to the big leagues, Gordon’s spirits swooned. “It turned into a grind,” Gordon said. “It got to the point where if I had the day off, I didn’t mind it. “How are you going to get to the big leagues if you’re excited about days off?” He gets a lot of days off now. Following the 2005 season, after a decade playing professional baseball, Gordon decided to make a unique career change. He became a pitcher. “It was kind of scary,” Gordon said. “You spend 10 years busting your butt, trying to be the best outfielder you can be. Throwing that away on a whim …” Turns out it was more than just a quirky notion. Gordon pitched five fabulous shutout innings Tuesday in his first appearance for the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees, after going 5-0 for the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and after completing his first stint in the big leagues with the New York Yankees. Gordon’s whirlwind of change during the past month culminated with him making his first start for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre against the Lehigh Valley team he spent all of last season and most of this one pitching for. “It was very weird,” Gordon said. “It really was.” Then again, such drastic change doesn’t seem strange to him now. Not after the way Gordon transformed himself from an outfielder who hit .274 with 118 home runs and 581 RBI over 10 minor-league seasons into a pitcher who is now considered even more of a legitimate big-league option. “I got to the point where I plateaued as an outfielder,” Gordon said. “I just wasn’t putting up that ‘Wow’ year. Hanging around as a fourth of fifth outfielder, it didn’t look too promising.” He wound up with more potential than anyone realized. After hitting .241 in 2006 for Houston’s Triple-A affiliate, Gordon took a blast from his past, which included a him pitching his Round Rock high school team to a Texas Class 5A state semifinal victory. Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, then a special assistant to the Astros, signed off on the move after watching Gordon work out as a pitcher. The switch paid off immediately. Gordon finished with a 2.88 ERA in 30 relief appearances with Double-A Corpus Christi in 2007. He progressed to the point where the Phillies signed him to pitch with Triple-A Lehigh Valley last season. Gordon went 5-0 with a 1.14 ERA after the IronPigs switched him into a starting role earlier this year. That year got even wackier for Gordon last month. The Phillies released him. The New York Yankees signed him and put him in their rotation for a couple starts. Then they shipped him to pitch for Scranton/WilkesBarre against his old IronPigs buddies. “It’s been a whirlwind kind of emotion,” Gordon said. “A lot of excitement, confusion. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.” He’s had enough exchanges during his career to last a lifetime. But the biggest once came when he turned down the opportunity to keep hitting the ball to make sure his opponents don’t.

Stanton homer helps Marlins The Associated Press

MIAMI — Mike Stanton hit a solo homer with one out in the 10th inning Wednesday night, and the Florida Marlins overcame an early four-run deficit to avert a series sweep by beating the Philadelphia Phillies 7-6. Stanton hit a 2-1 pitch from Danys Baez (2-4) into the seats in left. The young slugger had been hitless in his previous four at-bats, striking out twice and grounding into a basesloaded double play. Stanton, who has been dealing with blurry vision in his right eye because of an infection, hit his 17th homer this season. It was the first walkoff homer of his career. Philadelphia’s John Mayberry Jr. hit two home runs in the No. 8 spot in the order, and Jimmy Rollins also homered for the Phillies. Brewers 3, Diamondbacks 1

Houston took the field less than 90 minutes after the conclusion of a team meeting that lasted an hour and 15 minutes. The Astros had lost 10 of 11 and were 6-24 since June 3 and have the majors’ worst record (30-58). After Charlie Morton limited Houston to three hits over the first five innings, seven of the eight batters who faced him in the sixth reached.

WASHINGTON — Wilson Ramos decided a game of tworun homers with a suicide squeeze, driving in Michael Morse in the seventh inning to lift the Washington Nationals to a victory over the Chicago Cubs. Ramos pulled off the tiebreaking sacrifice after missing the sign earlier in the count. He swung away with Morse charging home on the first pitch from Kerry Wood (1-4) but managed to foul it off, saving the Nationals from an embarrassing out.

Brandon Laird and Gustavo Molina had RBI singles for SWB, but the bases were left loaded when Luis Nunez fouled out and Doug Bernier flied out to end the inning. The Bisons got to Kontos in the sixth, sending eight more batters to the plate. The frame got started with back-to-back home runs by Zach Lutz (2for-5) and Feliciano (2-for-4). Another run came across on a single by Nick Evans, who finished the game 3-for-5, as Buffalo opened a 6-4 lead. “I’ve got to give their hitters credit,” SWB manager Dave Miley said. “They put the ball in play and good things happened.

Wednesday was yet another big day for roster moves for the Yankees with seven players on the transaction log. The biggest names involved came when right-hander Buddy Carlyle and outfielder Chris Dickerson reported to Moosic after being optioned from New York earlier in the week. Dickerson was in SWB’s starting lineup and batting leadoff on Wednesday. Catcher Jesus Montero was another big name on the log as the top prospect in the organization was placed on the disabled list with back stiffness. He was joined on the DL by infielder Mike Lamb, who was signed last month from an independent league. As corresponding moves, catcher P.J. Pilittere was activated from the DL, left-handed starter Shaeffer Hall was sent to Trenton – after starting Monday night – and Kanekoa Texeira was released from the organization. For the season, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre has made a whopping 110 moves already this season with 17 coming in the first six days of July. This is Dickerson’s third stint with SWB this season. His last stay was only four days, but Wednesday was his first action for the team since May 15. Carlyle is joining the Yankees for the fourth different time this year. Montero is hitting .289 with seven home runs and 33 RBI in 70 games for the Yankees. In just 11 games, Lamb is batting .255 one home run and five RBI, while Texeira posted an ERA of 22.85 with an 0-1 record, allowing 11 earned runs and 16 hits in 4 1/3 innings. He was on the DL since June 8. Hall had just one start for SWB, picking up a win against Lehigh Valley allowing only two runs in 61⁄3 innings.

bottom of the first on a double to the gap in right-center by Laird (3-for-4) to score Chris Dickerson and Greg Golson. Golson trimmed the Bisons’ lead to 6-5 in the seventh with his fifth home run of the year, sending the first pitch he saw from Mike O’Connor over the left-field fence. A run allowed by Yankee reliever Andrew Brackman in the eighth pushed the lead back to two for Buffalo. Like Warren, Bisons starter Chris Schwinden struggled early on, but he was a tad more efficient with his pitches. He lasted six innings while only walking one and fanning six. He threw 96 pitches, 62 for strikes.

—Dave Rosengrant

NOTES: The Yankees missed an opportunity to gain ground on first-place Lehigh Valley, which was no-hit on Wednesday by four Rochester pitchers in a 7-0 final. … Pawtucket passed

the Yankees for second place in the standings with a win over Syracuse. … The time of the game at PNC Field was 2 hours, 58 minutes and the paid attendance was 3,373.

NFL LOCKOUT

Attorneys hammer out details Roger Goodell and DeMaurice Smith are expected to return to the negotiations today. By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

NEW YORK — Lawyers for the NFL and the players’ association are again sorting out contract language and details that could speed the process in reaching a new collective bargaining agreement. A person with knowledge of

SPORTS AND DRUGS

the situation told The Associated Press that attorneys began meeting for a second straight day Wednesday at a Manhattan law firm’s headquarters. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because a judge has directed that details of the court-ordered mediated negotiations not be disclosed. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith are expected to return to the negotiations today, along with several owners and players.

Both sides are running out of time before the preseason will be impacted. Some training camps are set to open in less than three weeks and the first exhibition game, at the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductions, is Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio. The St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears are scheduled for that game. Just as critical is having a window for free agency once a new CBA is reached. Depending on the rules for free agency, hundreds of players could become

available in what will be a signing frenzy. Teams still need to instruct rookies they drafted and sign rookies who were not selected in April. Those clubs with new coaches haven’t been able to install offenses or defenses or learn unfamiliar playbooks. General managers don’t know what the salary cap will be — or even if there will be one; 2010 didn’t have a cap. The regular season is scheduled to begin Sept. 8 with New Orleans at Green Bay.

Doc admits to illegal smuggling

By BEN DOBBIN The Associated Press

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Canadian sports doctor whose high-profile clients have included Tiger Woods and Alex Rodriguez pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to bringing into the United States unapproved drugs, including human growth hormone, that were used to treat professional athletes. Dr. Anthony Galea, a healing specialist from Toronto who was sought out by the biggest names in sports, was indicted by a federal grand jury in October on charges that he smuggled human growth hormone and other substances into the United States and lied to border agents to avoid getting caught. He faces similar charges in Canada. Most of the U.S. charges were dismissed with Galea’s plea, and he agreed to cooperate with investigators and disclose the identities of his patients and their treatments. Galea, who wasn’t licensed to work in the United States, was accused of treating 20 professional athletes at their homes, hotels and friends’ houses from October 2007 to September 2009. The indictment did not identify any clients, but prosecutors said they included golfers, professional baseball and football players and others. Galea, 51, pleaded guilty, eliminating the need for a trial — along with the likelihood that evidence and witness statements could publicly reveal information about who he visited or billed. Prosecutors said Galea billed around $800,000 for his work in the United States and the value of the substances used was about $30,000 to $70,000. Galea, who’s married with seven children, agreed to forfeit $275,000 before sentencing Oct. 19. He was released until sentencing, at which he could get up to two years in prison. The doctor, who has a vocal cord disorder, answered the judge politely in a croaking voice and said he wouldn’t appeal. Woods, who recently announced he would skip the British Open next week because of “minor injuries” that haven’t fully healed, has said he’s been treated by Galea but didn’t receive performance-enhancing drugs. The New York Mets’ Jose Reyes and Carlos Beltran also have acknowledged talking to federal authorities in the investigation. Rodriguez, the New York Yankees’ star slugger, told Major League Baseball officials that he didn’t receive performance-enhancing drugs from Galea after the doctor told The Associated Press he had prescribed anti-inflammatories for him. Prosecutors also named NFL linebacker Takeo Spikes and retired running back Jamal Lewis as athletes who were treated by Galea but weren’t accused of any use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Mark Cavendish celebrates winning the fifth stage of the Tour de France over 164.5 kilometers (102.2 miles) starting in Carhaix and finishing in Cap Frehel, Brittany, western France, Wednesday.

Cavendish outlasts chaos

Crashes highlight Stage 5; Norwegian maintains lead By JAMEY KEATEN The Associated Press

CAP FREHEL, France — Mark Cavendish of Britain won a windy and crash-marred fifth stage of the Tour de France in a mass sprint on Wednesday, while Thor Hushovd of Norway kept the leader’s yellow jersey. Defending champion Alberto Contador fell in a crash and RadioShack rider Janez Brajkovic broke his collarbone and pulled out of the race during the 102mile stage from Carhaix to Cap Frehel on the English Channel. Cavendish, a sprint specialist, collected his 16th career Tour stage victory and his first this year by speeding past Philippe Gilbert of Belgium — who finished second — and Jose Joaquin Rojas in third. “I am really happy. It was a difficult finish,” said Cavendish, who rides with the HTC-Highroad team. “I put every thing into it ... If we win, it’s not because we’re lucky, it’s because we’re good.” The British rider, known almost as much for his powerful legs as his sharp tongue, took aim at unidentified critics who he said expressed doubts about his abilities. “It’s always sweet to silence the ignoramuses,” he said. But Gilbert succeeded in making him work hard in the sprint. “Normally, I try to win by a little-ish margin, just to try and save energy,” Cavendish said. “Today, I had to give everything I had. He’s taken a lot out of me, so I’ll take a couple of days to recover.” The top standings didn’t change because the vast majority of riders crossed in a pack right behind the sprinters. Hushovd kept his one-second lead over Cadel Evans of Australia in second. Frank Schleck of Luxembourg is third overall, 4 seconds back. Schleck’s younger brother Andy — the Tour runner-up for the last two years — is 10th, 12 seconds behind. Contador, who lost time by getting caught up in a

crash in Stage 1, is 39th overall, 1:42 behind Hushovd. The stage Wednesday included a picturesque patch along rocky Brittany cliffs overlooking the Atlantic, was mostly marked by crashes that brought down some of the biggest names in the pack. Two riders pulled out, reducing the pack to 195. “It was very nervous, and because of that you get a lot of crashes, because there are 200 riders who want to be in front,” said Hushovd, who retained the coveted yellow jersey for a fourth straight day. Many riders were jostling to stay at the front — and ahead of possible group spills. Contador, the Spanish threetime Tour champion, fell at about the 44-mile mark. With his Saxo Bank jersey ripped over the right shoulder, he took off his helmet briefly, then gave a thumbs-up to signal that he was all right. “It was very difficult day, with a lot of tension,” said Contador, who took “a little knock” while braking to avoid one crash, then had his own a few miles later. “When I got back going, 5 kilometers later, my chain came off — so I fell,” Contador said. “What matters is, I was able to get back up.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — One is a 13-year-old, getting ready for eighth grade, spending the start of her U.S. Open week wondering if she should be asking these players for autographs or playing beside them. The other is 55, a winner of six majors and all but retired — yet still with enough game to grind through qualifying and earn a spot in what she says will be her last pro tournament. Mariel Galdiano and Betsy King both have tee times at the Broadmoor on Thursday, even though in the golf world, they are playing from completely different sets of tees. Such is life at the U.S. Women’s Open, where the world’s best try to enhance their resumes while competing against each other — along with dozens of amateurs, qualifiers and other underdogs with big dreams. “I’ve been telling her lately, put your head down, look at people’s feet, just focus,” said Galdiano’s father, Roger, who serves as her coach and caddie. “I want her to think of it as practice.” The reality that it is anything but practice comes shining through at every turn this week the for Honolulu native, who picked up her first golf club about seven years ago, won her first tournament a few years after that and played well enough in qualifying last month, a few days before her 13th birthday, to earn one of 156 spots this week on the East Course. On Wednesday, she played a practice round with another Hawaiian, Michelle Wie — “Very friendly,” she said — took part in a kids clinic on the driving range with Annika Sorenstam and passed Natalie Gulbis in the tunnel leading to the course. “She looked down at my shoes and said, ‘Nice shoes,”’ Galdiano

said, glancing down at her white and aqua golf sneakers. “I said, ‘Thank you.’ Pretty cool.” Standing at right around 5 feet and with an average driving distance of 220 yards, Galdiano is not the next Michelle Wie, whose formative years have been defined by mishaps on the men’s tour and a list of lessons about what happens when you go for too much, too soon. “The way we’re going to do it is, we’re just going to go through our routine,” Galdiano’s dad said. “I’m not going to sign her up to play against the men and stuff. We’re just going to try to see how the progression goes. Depending on how good she gets, we’ll see from there. High school and college — that will be a good experience.” While Galdiano’s future is ahead of her, King concedes her declining skills have held her back in recent years. “To be honest, if I could play well enough to play, I’d still be playing,” she said. “Ninety-nine percent of the people that I know who retired — that’s why they retired. They just didn’t play well enough to keep playing.” “My goal this week is to feel comfortable standing over the ball,” Galdiano said. “One shot at a time works best for me. When I think about score too much, it throws me off.” And for King, she says that making the cut at the U.S. Open would be a great way to say goodbye. Some swing thoughts, though, die hard. “Well, if I win, I can always change my mind,” she said. “That would be a real miracle, believe me.”

Stricker hopes to repeat success from last season

The Associated Press

SILVIS, Ill. — On just about any other day, Steve Stricker’s 60 in the opening round of last year’s John Deere Classic would have left him comfortably ahead and soaking in the adulation. But July 8, 2010, wasn’t your routine day on the PGA Tour. Even after shooting 11 under, Stricker found himself a shot off the lead, because Paul Goydos had fashioned what then was just the fourth 59 in tour history. “It was pretty hard to believe that he shoots 59 and has a oneshot lead, where I shoot 60 and I’m down by one,” Stricker said Wednesday. “Whatever way you want to look at it, it’s pretty remarkable.” Never before had two scores that low been recorded on a single day in a PGA event. Stricker went on to win the tournament for the second straight year, beating Goydos by two strokes, and now faces the task of winning a tournament three years in a row, another rare feat. It’s been done only 20 times on the tour, most recently by Tiger Woods, who completed a threepeat at the Bridgestone Invitational in 2007 Adding to the challenge Stricker will face when he tees off Thursday is one of the strongest fields at the Deere Classic,

which many of golf’s marquee names skip because it falls a week before the British Open. Still, the last two British Open champions are here, Stewart Cink (2009) and Louis Oosthuizen (2010). Also playing are Mark Wilson, Zach Johnson, David Toms, Davis Love III and Jason Day, who finished second at the Masters and U.S. Open. Oh, yes, Goydos is back, too, re-igniting some of the buzz he created with his iconic round a year ago, a score duplicated later that summer by Stuart Appleby at the Greenbrier Classic. “I was not ready for the national story it became,” Goydos said. “I thought it was a cool thing to accomplish personally, but I really didn’t think it would be that big of a deal. I was wrong.” More surprising to Goydos than leading by only one after his magical round was what he saw the next day, when he played in the afternoon. “I went to Starbucks and got a hot chocolate and a pastry of some sort, came back to my room, flipped on the computer and I was three back,” he said.

perseverance of the Koreans has been rewarded.” South Korean President Lee Myung-bak reminded the IOC of his country’s successful hosting of the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, and said: “Now Korea wants to give back to the Olympic movement and to the world.” Pyeongchang will be the third city in Asia and first outside Japan to host the Winter Games. Japan held the games in Sapporo in 1972 and Nagano in 1998. Under the slogan “New Horizons,” Pyeongchang drove home the theme that it deserved to win on a third try by offering the potential of spreading the Olympics to a lucrative new market and become a hub for winter sports in the region. “They have tried very hard and they have done everything that we told them to do and I think that a lot of people felt that

they really deserved it,” Norwegian IOC executive board member Gerhard Heiberg said. “And they will have a really good legacy for the whole of east Asia.” Pyeongchang hit all the right notes in its final presentation, combining emotion and humor with its solid technical plans. “We never gave up, and tried again and listened to your advice and improved our plans,” said Kim Jin-sun, the former governor of Gangwon Province, where Pyeongchang is located. “I believe it is my destiny to stand in front of you for the third time,” he said, his voice choking and eyes welling with tears. “Our people have waited for over 10 years for the Winter Olympics. Today I humbly ask for your support for the chance of hosting the Winter Games for the first time in our country.” The Korean victory followed the IOC’s trend in recent votes, having taken the Winter Games to Russia (Sochi) for the first time in 2014 and giving South America its first Olympics with the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.

circle and did the dance that’s quickly becoming their tradition. They then took a victory lap around the field, delighting the many Swedish fans in the crowd of 23,468 who whistled and cheered. “It was one of the better matches,” Sweden coach Thomas Dennerby said. “To get nine points in the group phase, that’s really good.” The U.S. is a two-time World Cup champion, two-time defending Olympic gold medalist and the No. 1-ranked team. But it’s had a rough few months since being stunned by Mexico in the semifinals of regional World Cup qualifying, needing to beat Italy in a playoff just to get to Germany. The Americans then lost to Sweden in the opener of the Four Nations tournament in January, and dropped their first game to England since 1988.

But they seemed to have regained their mojo in the first two games of the World Cup, scoring five goals and playing with a looseness and joy that hasn’t been seen in recent months. Still, no offense to North Korea or World Cup newcomer Colombia, the Americans hadn’t seen a team as good as Sweden, either. “We have great respect for the U.S. team but, at the same time, we know we’re good, too,” Lotta Schelin said. The U.S. pulled back a goal in the 67th when Wambach headed — actually, it was more like shouldered — in a corner kick from Lauren Cheney with an as-

sist from the head of Sweden’s Fischer. It was the first goal of the tournament for Wambach and her 10th overall at the World Cup, second among Americans to the 12 scored by Michelle Akers. “Like I said, if I score and we don’t win, I won’t be happy,” said Wambach, who played despite missing the previous two days of practice with tendinitis in her right Achilles’ tendon.

Jobs report preview

The global fight against inflation continues today: Economists expect the European Central Bank to raise interest rates for the second time this year. It would follow China, which on Wednesday raised interest rates for the third time in 2011. Higher food prices helped push inflation in China to a 34-month high in May, 5.5 percent. The inflation rate in the euro zone is milder, at 2.7 percent in May. The Federal Reserve, meanwhile, has resisted joining. It says high inflation will likely be temporary, and pledged last month to keep rates low “for an extended period.” Inflation in the U.S. was 3.6 percent in May.

Investors have to wait until Friday for the all-important monthly jobs report, but they may get a hint of what it will say from this morning’s report by payroll processor ADP. The company handles payroll for 430,000 employers, covering more than 23 million workers. So it has a decent view of the job market. Economists expect it to say private employers added 78,000 jobs in June, up from 38,000 in May. Last month, the ADP report underestimated the Labor Department’s figure of 83,000 private jobs added in May. It correctly predicted a sharp drop in job growth from April.

Chip maker (the potato kind) savors area plant site By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

HANOVER TWP. -- When the maker of Zapp’s and Dirty potato chips was looking to open a production and distribution plant in the northeastern U.S., it looked just north of New York City and at eastern Pennsylvania. Officials went with the latter, or what the company’s president called “the snack food capital of the world.” The Gramercy, La.-based chip

maker found a 40,000-square-foot former Kraft Foods building along Stewart Road in the Hanover Industrial Estates and began production in November. With 15 employees, the plant churns out bags of the company’s Zapp’s brand’s 11 flavored chips, many with Bayou-inspired tastes such as Hotter ‘n Hot Jalapeno, Cajun Crawtator and Voodoo. It also makes the company’s 12 flavors of Dirty chips, including Maui On-

ion, Sweet Potato and Funky Fusion. Besides the Gramercy and Hanover Township facilities, Zapp’s and Dirty chips are made in Oxnard, Calif. With the metro-New York market one of the brand’s largest, Zapp’s President Rod Olson said the ability to ship products a shorter distance made sense. “We had existing sales and we were looking to lower our carbon

And food industry officials have taken notice. “Pennsylvania is the snack food capital of the world,” Olson joked. Among the snack food companies based in the state, Utz, based in Hanover, York County, is the largest independently held snack food company in the country. It purchased Zappe Endeavors LLC, the maker of Zapp’s and Dirty chips, in May. Zappe will continue to operate the plants as a division

Stocks buck poor report

By JESSICA MINTZ For The Associated Press

Stock indexes managed modest gains as investors shrugged off slower growth in the U.S. service sector. The Institute for Supply Management reported Wednesday that business growth slowed at U.S. service providers in June. Financial companies and health care providers reported the weakest results. Financial companies fell sharply after Moody’s lowered Portugal’s credit rating to “junk” status. That raised fresh concerns about banks’ exposure to possible bond defaults and the European financial system.

Bankers could lose pay

The board of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. on Wednesday approved a rule allowing the government to recapture two years of pay from any executive deemed “negligent” and “substantially responsible” for a bank’s failure. The rule is part of the financial overhaul passed last summer. Regulators gained broad powers to recapture pay from executives of large, failed financial companies.

Facebook adds video calls

Quick on the heels of Google’s launch of its latest social-networking venture, Facebook said Wednesday that its 750 million users will now be able to make video calls on the site. The feature will be powered by the Internet phone service Skype. Facebook also redesigned its chat feature, so that the people a user messages the most often show up first.

China hikes interest rates

China raised a key interest rate for a third time this year as it tries to cool surging inflation. The recent slowdown in some Chinese industries has prompted fears more interest rate hikes might trigger a sharp slump. But most analysts say the government should be able to avoid that.

Mexico truck deal inked

U.S. and Mexican officials signed an agreement allowing each country’s trucks to traverse the other’s highways, implementing a key provision of the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement after nearly two decades.

of Utz, said Olson. A message left with George Neiderer, vice president of human resources for Utz, was not returned. Zapp’s was founded in 1985 and originally shipped products only within 300 miles of New Orleans. Now they’re sold in 49 states, the Far East and some Caribbean nations. Dirty Potato Chips was founded in Memphis, Tenn. in 1987. It became part of the Zappe company in the mid-1990s.

footprint,” Olson said. When scouting locations, Pennsylvania just seemed to be the best fit. John Augustine, senior director of economic development for the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry, said the addition of the chip maker reinforces efforts to draw food manufacturers. “We have identified the food industry as one of our economic clusters,” Augustine said.

Auto industry’s hiring spree revs up By DEE-ANN DURBIN AP Auto Writer

DETROIT — Volkswagen opened a plant in Tennessee last month with 2,000 workers. Honda is hiring 1,000 in Indiana to meet demand for its best-selling Civic. General Motors is looking for 2,500 in Detroit to build the Chevy Volt. Two years after the end of the Great Recession, the auto industry is hiring again — and much faster than the rest of the economy. As an employer, it’s growing faster than airplane manufacturers, shipbuilders,healthcareprovidersandthefederal government. The hiring spree is even more remarkable because memories of the U.S. auto industry’s near-death experience are fresh. In 2009, General Motors and Chrysler bothgotgovernmentbailoutsandentered bankruptcy, and auto sales hit a 30-year low.

“The buzz is incredible around here about what opportunity we’re going to get if we can build a great product.”

Ben Edwards who went to work for Volkswagen in Chattanooga, Tenn.

In June of that year, about 623,000 people were employed by the auto industry in the United States, the fewest since the early 1980s. Now the figure is almost 700,000, a 12 percent increase. “The buzz is incredible around here about what opportunity we’re going to get if we can build a great product,” says Ben Edwards, who went to work for Volkswagen in Chattanooga, Tenn., last year and is

He says the pay at Volkswagen, which starts at $14.50 an hour, is fair and the benefits are generous. Automakers are hiring again because carsalesarerising.Americansbought10.4 million cars and trucks in 2009 and 11.6 million in 2010. This year, they’re on track tobuy13millionormore,andautocompanies are adding shifts to meet the demand. The auto industry’s 12 percent increase in jobs compares with a 0.2 percent gain for the economy as a whole, excluding farming and adjusted for seasonal variation, since June 2009. The Labor Department reports Friday on jobs gained or lost last month. The auto gains have been widespread, with the Midwest the biggest beneficiary.

It looks like Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, and Kraft says it tastes just like the original. But a new ingredient is lurking inside this version of the American family dinner staple — cauliflower. Kraft Foods Inc. is the latest large food manufacturer to try hiding additional veggies in packaged foods, an effort to ride a renewed interest in healthy eating to fatter profits. It’s a slowly growing trend, and it’s one that is dividing food industry AP PHOTO experts. In June, Wal-Mart and Target stores started stocking Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner Veggie Pasta across the country, alongside boxes of the traditional recipe and other alternative versions, including organic and whole grain. Every neon-orange cup serving of the new recipe packs a half-serving of cauliflower. Kraft joins brands such as ConAgra Foods Inc.’s Chef Boyardee, which includes enough tomato in some of its canned pasta to claim half a cup of vegetables per serving, and Unilever’s Ragu pasta sauces, which says it has two servings of veggies for every half cup of sauce. In the Kraft product, the company freeze-dries cauliflower and pulverizes it into a powder, then uses that powder to replace some of the flour in the pasta.

Region’s ahead of the rest with the launch of new Verizon 4G DID YOU EVER HAVE a day when you knew something was different, but couldn’t put your finger on it? Yesterday was one of those days. Everything seemed fine. Nothing obviously out of the ordinary. And then I happened to absently gaze down at my phone. The little 3G symbol that normally graces the notification bar at the top was gone. In its place was something different, and just a little more “snazzy” than your average 3G logo. It said “4G LTE.” Well, actually, the LTE part was sideways, but even so it was unmistakable. I squinted with confusion. It’s nowhere near the official launch date for Verizon’s 4G network. It’s soon, don’t get me wrong, but we’re still a few

TECH TALK NICK DELORENZO weeks away. Of course, there was only one thing to do. Try it. See what happens. With an air of one who is greatly daring, I opened the browser. Sure enough, every web page, every video was loading extremely quickly. Almost instantaneously. “So it’s true,” I thought. “4G is here.” 4G is going to be one of those little things that gradually changes the way we live. That number and letter mean one thing for the user – speed. From a technical sense, what it really means is “bandwidth.” Streaming high-def video. High Quality, face-to-face video calls with no Wi-Fi required. So what’s the big deal? What can it

do? 4G has the potential to turn any tablet or smartphone into a mobile powerhouse – and this time, we mean it. Sure, you can watch YouTube videos on a 3G connection. Sure, you can stream video, and download things. But compared to Wi-Fi or a hard-wired connection, you can’t do it very well. 4G is different. Tablets will be able to match or exceed the convenience of laptops for things like watching movies or even playing multiplayer games. 4G speed is one of the key ingredients needed to really make cloud computing take off. And now it’s here. And not “here” as in “It’s possible” or “You can get it if you go to

New York or Tokyo.” I mean, it’s here in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, well before many larger metro areas have access. Bear in mind, it will work only if you have a 4G device, but those are increasingly common. Phones like the HTC Thunderbolt, Samsung Charge and Motorola Xoom can all take advantage of their new-found capabilities. And for another, it’s not official until the end of the month. So they can yank the plug out whenever they want until they’re good and ready to go. This is probably just a warm-up and shakedown period. But the speed is there, and for many people, it will be just one less wire tying them down. Nick DeLorenzo is director of Interactive and New Media for The Times Leader.

Who won and who lost

If you listened to the experts this spring, you thought it was all doom and gloom in the stock market. Yet the S&P 500 came out of the first half of 2011 with a 5 percent gain. The best-performing companies in the index announced big news this year. National Semiconductor got a 71 percent boost after Texas Instruments said it would buy the technology company for $6.5 billion. Investors sent Cabot Oil and Gas higher because a record amount of natural gas is flowing

earthquake and tsunami contributed to a $463 million operating loss for the bailed-out company’s property and casualty insurance unit in the first quarter. Hudson City Bancorp fell after the bank was forced to restructure its balance sheet to address regulator concerns that it was carrying too much risk. Meanwhile, jobs board company Monster Worldwide sank after a disappointing fourth-quarter earnings report, and fell further after reports showed the job market was weak.

from two of its Pennsylvania wells. And Biogen Idec jumped after it saw promising results from an experimental multiple-sclerosis drug and reported strong first-quarter profits. Just one industry group finished with a first-half decline. Financial stocks failed to sustain early year momentum and declined 3.7 percent. They tailed off even before the S&P 500 hit its 2011 high of 1,363.61 on April 29. Insurer AIG was the S&P 500’s biggest laggard. The Japanese

Some folks are still big on bacon By KATY MOELLER McClatchy Newspapers

“Put your personal stuff in storage,” she says. “You should think about ridding yourself of stuff anyway.” She has another point there. We all have too much stuff. Everything from drawings our kids made in first grade to photos collections that span the decades to souvenirs from long-ago vacations. I went through those boxes about a decade ago, when we downsized from

BOISE, Idaho — Jesse Taylor eats bacon every day — sometimes twice a day. “It’s a great anytime kind of meat. It improves the flavor of anything you add it to,” said Taylor, a bike mechanic studying to be a nurse. The 35-year-old says he’s lost weight eating bacon as part of a low-carb diet this year, shedding about 30 pounds since January. “I’m a big fan of bacon,” said Taylor, who has taken top honors two years in a row at a bacon-themed food contest/ party organized by a friend. This year’s entry: red-hot pork loin (marinated pork loin wrapped in bacon). National food critics say bacon jumped the shark several years ago, after the salty meat infused popular culture and cuisine to the point of absurdity. “Bacon had a good run, but now it has gone flabby — used too much and too often, it’s lost its novelty and coated fine dining with a ubiquitous veneer of porky grease,” Wall Street Journal reporter Kate McLaughlin wrote in an October article under the headline “Bacon Backlash.” Still, we’re living in the “golden age of bacon,” a time when a growing variety of top-quality meat is available by mail to everyone, food writer Josh Ozersky opined in a Time magazine article in March. “Bacon may have ceased being something cool to talk about, but it stayed something wonderful to eat,” Ozersky wrote. It is among America’s “greatest and oldest gifts to the world.” Regardless of what the paid foodies think, bacon-lovers are flocking to festivals that celebrate their favorite meat, including Des Moines’ Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival and Chicago’s Bacon-Fest. The 1,500 tickets available for this year’s Chicago event sold out within a minute. Those who can’t make the big parties are holding their own. Boisean Susanna Smith, a photo technician at the Idaho Statesman, hosted her second BaconFest in early May. Invitees brought about 25 bacon dishes to her home and cast ballots for their favorites. Winners took home pig-themed prizes. “It’s just something fun to do to have friends over,” said Smith, joking that she advised participants to “wear stretchy pants.” The dishes this year included bacon pumpkin pie, bacon fudge, maple bacon cupcakes, barbecue bacon meat loaf, bacon peanut butter cookies, baconized crackers, bacon baklava and bacon deviled eggs. Smith, 37, said she’s become aware of all the culinary uses of bacon in the past few years. She and her husband, Dave, buy smoked bacon online from a Tennessee company. They cook a whole package at once, then add it to a variety of dishes, including salads, quesadillas, chili and pork and beans. So what is it about bacon that has inspired an almost cultlike following? “I think the forbidden thing is a big part of it. People like to be naughty a little bit,” bacon aficionado Heather Lauer said of the fatty, salty meat that used to be primarily a breakfast treat. Lauer wrote the book on bacon. Well, maybe not the book, but the Nampa, Idaho, native did write “Bacon: A Love Story: A Salty Survey of Everybody’s Favorite Meat,” which was published in 2009. Lauer, who lives in Phoenix, was sought out by a publisher who saw her “Bacon Unwrapped” blog, which she launched in 2005 just for fun. The idea came to her while out drinking with her two brothers. “It wasn’t some weird fetish I had,” Lauer said of the bacon blog, which con-

Amanda Lacomis will never be short on home staples, such as toothpaste, toilet paper, body wash and shampoo.

By SARA POKORNY

magine you’ve just left the grocery store, you’re reviewing your receipt, and this is what you see: • Twenty boxes of pasta and 56 boxes of tooth-

paste: free • Deodorant: 99 cents • Body wash: 25

cents • Hydrogen peroxide: 2 cents. Sound too good to be true? Not for Amanda Lacomis, 25, of Pittston, who has turned snagging great deals into an art form.

Lacomis was inspired by TLC’s hit show “Extreme Couponing,” which chronicles the methodical ways shoppers turn $1,000 grocery bills into $3 orders using coupons and detailed planning. Lacomis isn’t as heavily enmeshed as the folks on the show, but she has mastered the craft of stocking up on items at incredibly low costs. “Right now I have $200 worth of razors that I purchased for 10 bucks,” she said. How does she do it? “One of the most important things is gathering up as many newspapers as you can,” she explained. As such, she and her friend, Ray Kowalczyk, 25, also of Pittston, go “Dumpster diving” on Sunday nights. “There are some places that just throw away that day’s newspapers, so we grab them after they’ve closed,” Kowalczyk said. “We end up with about 40 to 50 papers every Sunday night.” See COUPON, Page 2C

AT LEFT: Lacomis can see exactly where her money is going (or rather, staying) by tracking her savings. BELOW: This is the typical setup for Ray Kowalczyk, who clips many of the coupons he and Amanda Lacomis use on their weekly shopping excursions.

Will hotels by month work for your retirement? By JANE GLENN HAAS The Orange County Register

Joszi Meskan calls it “the steamertrunk lifestyle” for aging boomers. And I’m ready to sign up. Forget “assisted living,” she says. Don’t think about a “retirement” home. Instead, travel the globe, spending several months in New York City, for example, maybe a few more in Paris or Rome or Beijing. Joszi Meskan Associates, interior decorators in San Francisco, visualize hotel space such as this offering a life “the way the rich used to live” on a monthly rate for elders who want to travel, who must go to assisted living, etc. The design concept is turning an 18-by-30 average hotel room into a oneroom permanent or semi-permanent living space. Instead of renting a hotel room by the day, find hotels that have adapted rooms to rent on a monthly basis. In case you wonder what those

rooms might look like, Meskan, a San Francisco based interior designer, has created a sample that she showcased at the recent Boomer Business Summit, part of the American Society on Aging conference, in San Francisco. “Hotel rooms are, for the most part, only 50 percent occupied today, so this seems like a win-win solution,” she says. Her model room is the standard 18by-30-foot hotel size. But instead of a bed taking up the center, there’s a sofa bed with drawers underneath and a desk with pullout space for a computer. All very modern, compact, efficient, friendly. Yes, it’s similar to living in a furnished apartment but with a difference: There’s the opportunity to have a maid make your bed, a chef do your cooking, even a friendly bartender to chat with while you have an evening cocktail. “It’s the way the rich used to live,” Meskan says. “Use the hotel as a base

camp. Spend your money traveling.” She has a point. With expected lifespans stretching into the 80s now, why pick an age-segregated lifestyle until disabilities force that upon you? Meskan figures she has a win-win idea for a recession-plagued economy. Hotels, she points out, have huge payrolls to meet whether rooms are rented or not. Renting rooms by the month gives the operator some guaranteed income.

COUPONING TIPS

Continued from Page 1C

When you’re working with so many coupons, Lacomis said, organization is key. She keeps a binder of coupons, which Kowalczyk jokes weighs almost 10 pounds, that is organized according to the layout of Price Chopper’s aisles. Lacomis began her couponing in May, and her savings have been huge. Her total retail has been $1,500, for which she has paid $453, she said. In addition to Price Chopper, Lacomis shops at CVS, Walgreens, Schiel’s Family Market, Quinn’s Market and Redner’s. “We get a lot of health and beauty at CVS and Walgreens because that’s where you get the most rewards back,” she said. CVS’s ExtraCare and Walgreens’ club cards help shoppers earn back a percentage of money spent throughout the year. Additional offers are printed on card holders’ receipts. To use an example, shopping cards helped Lacomis score a steal on Degree deodorant. Both drugstores often offer it for $2.99, she said, and she usually has a $1 coupon, lowering the price to $1.99. Then she might receive $1 in rewards cash, which she puts toward cereal and snacks. Degree coupons for $1 often have no size limits, and many stores carry trial-size Degree for $1, making them free. For another example, Lacomis buys 4-ounce Colgate toothpaste, considered a travel size, at Price Chopper for $1 each. She uses a coupon for $1 off 4 ounces or more to get the toothpaste for free. Another way to get back is “overage,” which results when a coupon’s value is higher than the price of the product. A coupon might offer $2 off a product on sale for $1.50, which leaves a 50cent overage. Depending on how a store handles overage – many will discount the order only up to the value of the purchased item and not the coupon – overage can add up.

• Always be sure to check the individual store’s coupon policies beforehand. • Network, network, network. Some circulars, such as RedPlum, vary by area code, so a RedPlum for someone in the West can contain different coupons than for someone in the Northeast. Buddy up with people in different areas to arrange coupon swaps. Hook on to a coupon train at sites such as afullcup.com, where you can find people to swap with regularly. • If you find you’ll need to do several transactions (such as the

“We bought 59 rolls of toilet paper and made $8 on it, which we then used to pay for four pounds of chicken.” Amanda Lacomis Explaining one transaction at a local grocery store

“We bought 59 rolls of toilet paper and made $8 on it, which we then used to pay for four pounds of chicken,” Lacomis said, explaining one transaction at a local grocery store. The Scott toilet paper cost 85 cents per roll, and Lacomis had a rare $1 coupon from RedPlum, a coupon book contained inside local newspapers. With the coupon, she said, she made 15 cents on each toilet-paper transaction, giving her more than $8 in savings, which she put toward the chicken. Stores that allow overages generally allow the money to be taken off the rest of the bill, not refunded in cash. Lacomis said the toilet-paper coupon she used usually offers $1 off two or more rolls, so this was a special find. With the words “free” and “groceries” becoming partners for some shoppers, how do stores feel about couponers such as Lacomis? “If our customers can save, let them save,” said Andrew Potsko, assistant store manager at Schiel’s in South Wilkes-Barre. He said he hasn’t seen an increase in couponers like Lacomis and that orders such as hers generally do not hurt the store.

While the women of “Extreme Couponing” turn clipping into a full-time job, Lacomis said she really only finds herself spending a lot of time on her passion from Sunday through Tuesday, with Tuesday her shopping day. “The worst part of it is comparing fliers,” she said. “Price Chopper might have Mrs. T’s pierogies 2 for $6, Schiel’s might have them 3 for $5, but then you have to look at what coupons you have and can use, and it can get very involved and tiring.” Before each trip, Lacomis writes down what she’s going to buy, what the price is pre-coupon, what kind of coupon she has and what she’ll pay after the discount. That way, she knows what she should be paying at the register. “It sounds silly, but I once overpaid by $10 and I was really mad,” she said. “Now I make sure to double-check everything beforehand.” Another thing to check is the store’s coupon policy. Lacomis’ 3year-old daughter Makenzie goes through Nesquik quickly, so the cost adds up. Lacomis once set out to purchase as much of it as possible on the cheap. Armed with a 50-cent-off coupon she ex-

should have a small refrigerator and a microwave oven — which is all you’ll need, Meskan says. “If you pick some sort of assisted living or retirement home you’ll be eating in the dining room anyway,” she says. Meskan’s model room is all white — which may not be the choice for everyone. But it’s a start. I like the idea of the “steamer-trunk lifestyle.” Yes, you get tired of traveling. Weary of seeing the sites and the sights. So then it’s time to settle down. To maybe go back to your original hometown. Weary of traveling. What a concept! Meskan sold me. Now she just has to sell the hotel industry.

pected would double at the register, she placed 30 bottles of Nesquik in her Schiel’s cart. She looked forward to 100 percent savings but hit a snag. “What we didn’t know, and what I found out after the order was totaled and I handed the cashier 30 coupons, is that Schiel’s only doubles up to the first three coupons. I felt terrible, but I was like, ‘Well, can you take 27 off then?’ ” “I’m sure people were looking at us like, ‘But you’d only have to pay 50 cents without the doubling,’ which is a great deal, but I’d rather go through all the transactions instead of paying for what I know I could get for free.” While some cashiers might not be too happy with the way Lacomis shops, she’s come to find that most have a favorable reaction. “People just watch it in awe,” she said. “A lot of them tell us how awesome it is.” Lacomis was once on the other end of these types of transactions, as she worked as a cashier in the past. “Customers would be so adamant about the coupon, and I was just like, ‘Why? It’s just a dollar,’ but now I understand and I, too, love coupons.”

chalupa. Denny’s was the last to the party, announcing its 10week Bacon-alia in March. (Have you tried the maple bacon sundae?) “When Denny’s rolled out their thing, I just rolled my eyes. Are they really jumping on this at this point?” said Lauer, who gets calls all the time to participate in new promotions. She admits she’s a little burned out on it. Lauer recommends buying bacon from butchers rather than packaged bacon. “I have become a snob about bacon,” said Lauer, who planned to enjoy a BLT sandwich on her 37th birthday this month.

Wedding production begins with an orchestrated proposal in public Dear Abby: Has the marriage proposal become an invited ceremony like the wedding, or am I out of touch? A few months ago friends and family were invited to a beach near Seattle for the proposal. Our grandson and his live-in went for a short seaplane ride. The plane returned, beached and the couple got out. Then, surrounded by the throng on the sand, grandson proposed on bended knee and she, of course, accepted. Because we did not attend, my daughter is still not speaking to us. The young couple will fly to Maui in a few months for the wedding. We are among the invited, but the trip is too

DEAR ABBY ADVICE much for us. Your comments, please. — Baffled in Brunswick, Maine Dear Baffled: I have heard of brides getting carried away and turning their wedding ceremony into a stage production, but this is the first time I have heard about a mother of the groom issuing a command performance for the proposal. Heaven only knows what she’s planning for the birth of their first child. Dear Abby: I am with a man who treats me and my kids great. He is kind, caring and very generous. I

trust him. However, I have been in a couple of bad relationships. For some reason, I’m drawn to “bad” boys. I’m not sure if I really love this man because there is no “spark.” None! Should I stay with someone who is a really great person and treats me good — but there is no passion — and learn to live with it, or do I end the relationship? — Not Sure What to Do in Canada Dear Not Sure: You might as well end the relationship now because sooner or later you will become bored and it will end anyway. The man you’re seeing deserves to have someone who fully appreciates what he has to offer, which you seem unable to do. Continue dating “bad boys” until you finally stop confusing anxiety and

disappointment with excitement. Dear Abby: My husband (second marriage) keeps in touch with his ex-wife. At one point, it was several times a day. I expressed my concerns to him and told him I didn’t like it and saw no need for it. It stopped — but only for a while. I know, because I check his call and text log. I know I shouldn’t do that, but recently I found some text messages saying, “Sorry I haven’t called you.” That’s not what’s bothering me, though. It’s how they signed off. She writes, “Love you,” and he writes, “Love you mostest!” Abby, that’s what he says to me. How do I talk to him about this? I snooped. — Snooped On the East Coast

Dear Snooped: I don’t blame you for feeling hurt and threatened by this. Almost any woman would. When he’s in a relaxed mood and you can talk without interruption, ask him if he is still in love with his ex-wife. If he says no, ask why he feels the need to remain in communication with her and why he’s telling her he loves her “mostest.” Expect him to go on the attack because you snooped. But you wouldn’t have done it if your intuition hadn’t made you feel insecure. 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.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll get a sign that things are about to change for the better in a relationship. Perhaps this won’t come as a source of elation, but you will likely feel cheerful and optimistic about your future with the other person. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You often avoid strong emotions, but such intense feelings can be helpful at times. For instance, your anger can make you more powerful than a wild beast. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People will do annoying things that have nothing to do with you, so be sure not to take any of it personally. You may find their behavior irritating, but you’ll blow it off much quicker when you know it’s not really about you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You want a change, and your desire for it is the ingredient that will make it happen. As you let your desire move you, it strengthens. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The more you expose people to your ideas the more they will like them. So keep making your pitch, telling your story and winning supporters one by one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What appears to be an everyday encounter may seem stressful to you. Because of your particular sensitivities, you realize there is much more going on than most people would see. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll persuade someone without being detected. Perhaps even you don’t realize that you are doing this. But when you want something so much, it’s hard to keep yourself from going for it.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A good lawyer does not present all of the information he has about his client during the opening statement. Likewise, you have the rapt attention of your “jury” as you take your time in revealing the truth. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are too many people influencing you now. It will do you no good to want something just because others do. If you still don’t know what your true wants are, ask them to speak to you a little louder. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It has been said that any item of clothing can be attractive with a confident, passionate person inside it. However, it’s difficult to feel either confident or passionate if you hate what you’re wearing. Another reason to shop... AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are in a competitive mood. The best competitor now is not a person, but the general idea that is the status quo. Go for mastery and excellence in all things. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your deepest craving is to be accepted and adored. Realizing that this is something you have in common with most humans, you lavish others with praise and they do the same for you. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 7). You’ll love the interaction this month as lively characters enter your world. You’ll express yourself and develop your gifts through October. November brings the payoff of a long-term investment. Libra and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 6, 25, 43 and 23.
