Alleged shooter won’t face death Penalty not an option in case

ALL–STAR GAME NATIONAL 8 AMERICAN 0

WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 2012

Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis had two decisions already made for her by the U.S. Supreme Court as the case against two teenage boys accused with killing three people inside a Plymouth apartment progresses. In a 2005 ruling, the Supreme Court abolished capital punishment for those under 18 who are convicted of firstdegree murder and, just last week the highest court struck down sentencing laws that mandated life in prison for ju-

Autopsies show the three were shot multiple times. State police at Wyoming and Plymouth police allege Davis pulled out a .40-caliber pistol and opened fire during a drug exchange of marijuana and heroin, according to arrest records. Davis and Hamilton were charged with open counts of criminal homicide, including criminal attempt to commit homicide in the shooting of Maldonado’s brother, Danny, 19. Danny Maldonado remains in critical condition at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical

Center. “It is way too early in the investigation to say how we will proceed,” Salavantis said Tuesday. Prosecutors are required by state law to file on or before the formal arraignment their intentions to seek the death penalty, including the filing of aggravating circumstances. There are 18 aggravating circumstances in Pennsylvania for prosecutors to seek the death penalty if there is a conviction of first-degree murder. Two involve murders during the sale or delivery of any controlled substance. Prosecutors must pass their

VICTIM UPDATES

Handelong said Ashley Bryant, Danny Maldonado’s fiancée, will have a collection basket for donations to help pay for the burial costs of Nicholas Maldonado, Danny’s 17-year-old brother. • The funeral of Lisa Anne Maree Abaunza, 15, of Duryea, will be held Thursday at 10 a.m. from the Kiesinger Funeral Home, 255 McAlpine St., Duryea.

WEST PITTSTON – Borough council on Tuesday updated residents on progress in coming into compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program. And then council members listened as some residents blasted them, the borough code enforcement officer and the Federal Emergency Management Agency for failing to do enough to inform them of FEMA requirements and enforce those requirements in a timely manner after the September flooding ravaged the town. Borough Manager Savino Benita read a letter borough officials received from Federal Emergency Management Agency Regional Administrator MaryAnn Tierney spelling out FEMA’s concerns with the borough’s flood plain management program and the steps necessary by Oct. 1 to avoid being placed on probation.

Defining domestic partners

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County Council members tentatively agreed to expand the county’s nepotism definition of domestic partners to include the opposite sex but decided more analysis is needed before benefits could be offered to these partners. The county’s new administrative code defines domestic partners as two same-gendered adults in a committed, exclusive, lifetime relationship who share at least one residence and the common necessities of life. The code, which will soon take effect, also requires employees to file an affidavit disclosing these relationships. A citizen recently filed a com-

interdependence for at least a year and/or sharing at least one residence, her definition says. The county solicitor’s office tentatively cleared the definition, which would remove the gender reference and affidavit requirement, she said. A majority of council indicated support for approving her version at a future meeting. Councilwoman Elaine Maddon Curry asked her colleagues to consider offering health benefits to domestic partners, saying government should treat employees equally. The state, many Fortune 500 companies and several counties offer benefits to domestic part-

plaint with the ethics commission, saying the code discriminates by failing to also recognize or require affidavits for heterosexual partners who live together. During Tuesday’s work session, Councilwoman Linda McClosky Houck proposed defining a domestic partnership as two people over 18 who are in a stable, committed relationship and not married or related by blood. Evidence of a stable relationship would include financial See COUNTY, Page 7A

Compressor hearing set for September By CAMILLE FIOTI Times Leader Correspondent

WEST WYOMING – A public hearing regarding UGI’s permit application to the state Department of Environmental Protection for a proposed gas compressor station will be held sometime in September, council President Eileen Cipriani said during Monday’s council meeting. One resident voiced concerns that the project to build the station off Eighth Street, near the Kingston Township and borough border, had already begun. Cipriani informed the resident that multiple natural gas-related projects are under way in the area; however, UGI hadn’t received approval to begin. If DEP grants UGI’s permit request, the county must still give zoning approval for the project. Cipriani said council will keep the public updated on the status of the proposed project and the exact date of the hearing, when it becomes available. Borough Code Enforcement Officer Tom Roccograndi updated residents on the status of an abandoned, nuisance property located at 300 Washington Ave. Roccograndi said since he’s been unable to contact the owner, who lives out of state, the borough’s street department will maintain the grass and place a lien on the property for the charges incurred. In other business, council announced that an ad for the sale of a borough-owned lot on the corner of West Eighth Street and Shoemaker Avenue was to begin running in Tuesday’s paper. Bid packs for the lot, which is just under an acre, are available at the borough hall. Council also announced that the West Wyoming Hose Company No.1 will host a Community Day on July 28 for residents of West Wyoming and surrounding communities. The event will feature safety activities, demonstrations of fire equipment, children’s fingerprinting, and more.

ASHLEY – A number of concerned residents came out to the borough’s regular council session on Tuesday to voice concerns over possible personnel changes at the police department. Borough Solicitor Michael Vinsko said council would not be making any immediate personnel changes to the police department as had been rumored. The personnel changes were suggested by the borough’s financial advisers as a cost-saving measure in the wake of Ashley’s recent budgetary woes. The advisers’ suggested changes included eliminating all full-time police officers and contracting police services from another community. “We don’t generally comment on personnel matters,” said Vinsko. “But council felt it appropriate to address this issue publicly to quell any rumors.” Vinsko went on to say that no changes would be made to the police department until further review and consultation between borough official and the police department employees. In other business, council voted unanimously to adopt an ordinance establishing a policy that motorists in the borough comply with all state and municipal vehicle restraint laws. Council announced at a previous meeting that the police department would be conducting periodic seat belt safety checks in the future.

WILKES-BARRE – City Council members say none of the nearly 18,000 missing gallons of city gasoline and diesel fuel was pumped into their vehicles – at least not for their personal use. Two council members – both former city police chiefs – say they filled their cruisers at the Department of Public Works garage and one former councilman, Tony Thomas Jr., said he put gas in his vehicle when he traveled to Harrisburg on city business. Bill Barrett and Tony George, the former chiefs, said they went to the city pumps only to put gas in their police cruisers.

Barrett and George said they never put city gas in their personal vehicles. “So have I ever filled up at those pumps, the answer is yes,” Barrett said. “But only in a city vehicle.” George said the same. “When I was chief of police, I went there to put gas in the cruiser. I’ve never used it for my personal vehicle.” Thomas said he would use the city’s fuel when he was traveling to Harrisburg on city business, instead of submitting mileage reports. “That was at least three or four years ago,” Thomas said. “I think it ended up costing more when we submitted mileage reports

than if we used the gas.” The strongest denial of any inference council members may have received free gas from the city came from former councilwoman and current city Controller Kathy Kane. “Absolutely, unequivocally not,” Kane responded when asked if she ever filled her personal vehicle with city gas. “… I’m insulted that anybody would think I would.” The city has come under fire after a Times Leader investigative report revealed nearly 18,000 gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel are unaccounted for, according to logs kept at the public works garage. Council Chairman Mike Merritt and council members George Brown and Maureen Lavelle said they have never used city gas in their vehicles. “Have I? No, no sir,” Merritt said.

Water co. to upgrade area lines

Certain streets in Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes-Barre Twp. slated for work.

PITTSTON TWP.

The Pittston Township Board of Supervisors are looking to hire a new police chief, and soon. Interested applicants have one week to apply for the post, starting today. The deadline is July 18 at 10 a.m. Township Manager John Bonita said the position has been vacant since former chief Steve Rinaldi retired two years ago, after 42 years with the department. Rinaldi is now a Township Supervisor. The department currently has one officer working full time and another full-time officer out on disability, in addition to nine part-time officers. A third full-time officer recently retired on disability, Bonita said. Asked about the week-long application window, Bonita said the township “feels it’s enough time.” The township is seeking applicants with 10 years experience in law enforcement, supervision and administration. Job responsibilities and requirements are available at the Township Municipal Building between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., according to a classified advertisement announcing the opening published Tuesday.

“Council needs to get it straightened out and put some system of measurements in there.” Brown said he wasn’t even aware where the city gas pumps were located. “It’s disappointing when you see these things are happening,” Brown said. “I thought everything was documented. I didn’t know anything about this until it came out in the media. “I’m sure methods will be put in place to stop this from continuing.” Former councilman and now District Justice Rick Cronauer said he wasn’t embarrassed to answer the question. “Nope, never,” he said when asked if he ever used city gas. The Times Leader revealed the unaccounted for gas in an exclusive report that ran last week.

HANOVER TWP. – Standing in his South Main Street home’s driveway as cars and trucks zipped past at well over the posted 25 mile per hour speed limit, Don Casterline was a man with a plan to control speeding and prevent future accidents. He will present that plan to two Pennsylvania Department of Transportation officials today when they visit his Lower Askam house. For 45 years Casterline has watched traffic volume, the size of vehicles using South Main Street and the speeds all increase. But the narrow two-lane thoroughfare has remained the same. “This road is a horse and buggy road, it’s not meant for 50 mile per

WILKES-BARRE – Pennsylvania American Water will spend $700,000 upgrading more than 4,000 feet of water main along several city streets and an additional 2,600 feet of line in Wilkes-Barre Township. The project starts later this month and most of the work will wrap up in August with finishing touches done in the fall. Some of the 6-inch cast iron water mains that will be replaced date back to 1889. They’ll be replaced with 8-inch ductile iron pipe. The streets slated for the improvements include Miller, Grant, Lehigh, Larch, York and Washington in WilkesBarre and Nicholson in Wilkes-Barre Township. “Each year, we take a look at the distribution system and determine areas where there may be a history of main breaks or leaks and we’ll focus on those areas for improvement,” said Susan Turcmanovich, a water company spokeswoman. The project will improve reliability for customers, reduce service disruptions and increase water flows for firefighting, the company said. Crews will work weekdays between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. These projects come on the heels of Pennsylvania American Water’s replacement of more than 6,000 feet of pipe along River Street in Wilkes-Barre. That project, which began in late March, involves installing 16-inch pipe between Jackson and Academy streets. Pipe installation is nearly finished, with final service connections to be completed by mid-August. The company plans to complete the River Street project, including final restoration, by October. During construction, customers might experience temporary service interruptions, discolored water and/or lower than normal water pressure. For more information, contact Pennsylvania American Water’s customer service center at 1-800-565-7292.

Failed convenience store robber pleads guilty to 2 crimes By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Nanticoke man charged with attempting to rob a convenience store – and whose attempt was foiled by a clerk who chased him with a knife – pleaded guilty Tuesday. Daniel Joseph Olshefski, 24, of Burnett Street, entered the plea before Judge Fred Pierantoni to a charge of criminal attempt to commit robbery and unrelated charges of criminal trespassing and theft. Pierantoni said Olshefski, who was represented by attor-

ney Thomas Cometa, will be sentenced on Aug. 30. According to court papers, on Nov. 21 Nanticoke police were called to the Cocoa Hut located on Middle Road for the report of a robbery. When police arrived, store employees said a man had entered the store wearing a black or dark green hooded jacket, dark pants, black sneakers and a mask over his face with the eyes and mouth cut out and had on black gloves. A clerk said that the man, later identified as Olshefski, demanded money at least three

times, and that the clerk told him he wasn’t getting any money. The clerk grabbed a knife and began to chase Olshefski out of the store into nearby woods. When interviewed by police, Olshefski said he tried to rob the store to get money to support his drug addiction. In the burglary incident, police said Cynthia Lynn Eckhart reported to police on Jan. 3 that someone entered her home and stole a gold bracelet. Eckhart told police she had several people at her home over the holidays, including Olshef-

ski, who she said burglarized her home in the past to support a heroin habit. Eckhart said she didn’t report the theft because Olshefski went to a rehabilitation center to detoxify, according to the criminal complaint. Police said they located Eckhart’s pawned bracelet, and that they spoke to Olshefski about the incident. Olshefski allegedly told police he did take the bracelet so that he could sell it to buy drugs, according to the criminal complaint. County Senior Judge Hugh

Mundy on Tuesday released Olshefski from the county prison on parole stemming from a simple assault charge. Olshefski originally was sentenced to one year probation in the case, in which his mother reported to Newport Township police in January 2011 that Olshefski assaulted her. He violated the terms of his probation when he burglarized Eckhart’s home and failed to follow conditions, according to court papers. Olshefski was resentenced in February to six to 12 months in county prison.

TRAFFIC Continued from Page 3A

no shoulder; for bus pickups it’s a danger for the students.” There have been proposals to alleviate traffic on the constricted road that brings people to and from Luzerne County Community College, the Hanover Industrial Estates and Route 29. The most high-profile – and costliest – is the long-awaited South Valley Parkway. The project, which was conceived in 1998, originally called for four lanes to bypass Middle Road extending from Hanover Township to Newport Township. It was to cost $30 million at that time. Now 14 years later the proposal cuts the lanes to two and the length in half by ending the bypass in Nanticoke. It has a current price tag of $35 million. The project is still on the todo list and in the preliminary design phase, said PennDOT spokesman James May. Its bid date is scheduled for December 2014 or January 2015. Casterline is cynical about promises that it will start at some point. “I’ll never see that road,” he said. Even if the project does get green-lighted, Casterline said it will not be completed anytime soon and the problem with speeding will continue. For years he’s made calls and sent letters to PennDOT officials in Harrisburg about the dangers. Finally a meeting was set up between two PennDOT employees and Casterline. It will take place at his house this morning and Casterline hopes to drive them up and down the stretch he’s concerned about, give them a history of the roadway and where accidents have occurred and provide a suggestion that could help alleviate at least some speeding, since road widening is likely out of the question. “The only thing I could come up with are strategically-placed stop signs,” said Casterline. “Something like that could calm the traffic.” He suggested stop signs at Martin Street and McGovern Hill as places that could cause vehicles to slow down and make the road safer for other motorists, pedestrians and residents. “I don’t know if it’s the answer but I can tell you the answer is not to wait for the new road or have the township police patrol it. Neither one is feasible,” Casterline said. PennDOT traffic engineer Keith Williams and assistant district executive for maintenance Dennis Giordano will meet with Casterline today. Hanover Township Manager John Sipper also will sit in. Sipper said he “feels sorry for the people” but there’s little the township can do. “It’s a state road and it is an old one at that,” Sipper said. Police patrols and speed display devices have been deployed, Sipper said, and while they have worked, Casterline said, they’re not permanent solutions. May said stop signs are not supposed to be used for speed reductions though there are exceptions. He said a study was done on using them on this stretch of South Main Street and Middle Road and the result was that “they were unwarranted.” But Williams and Giordano will sit with Casterline and Sipper today and discuss the issues and see firsthand what Casterline has seen daily for more than four decades.

W-B OK with camera deal Questions answered, council satisfied with the contract for Intermodal surveillance.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – It appears City Council will approve a resolution to award a $650,000 contract to Schneider Electric as a sole source provider for 62 surveillance cameras at the Intermodal Transportation Center. Councilman Tony George said he’s satisfied with answers he received from the administration when he inquired about the deal. He said as long as the project is being done through the COSTARS program, he will vote for it. COSTARS is a cooperative purchasing program administered by the state Department of General Services. The program provides a tool for local and state purchasers to find suppliers who have contracted with DGS. The COSTARS program is set up to guarantee the best possible

CARDS Continued from Page 1A

Sports Authenticator. The best of the bunch — 37 cards — are expected to bring a total of $500,000 when they are sold at auction in August during the National Sports Collectors Convention in Baltimore. There are about 700 cards in all that could be worth up to $3 million, experts say. They include such legends as Christy Mathewson and Connie Mack. Kissner and his family say the cards belonged to their grandfather, Carl Hench, who died in the 1940s. Hench ran a meat market in Defiance, and the family suspects he got them as a promotional item from a candy company that distributed them with caramels. They think he gave some away and kept others. “We guess he stuck them in the attic and forgot about them,” Kissner said. “They remained there frozen in time.” After Hench and his wife died, two of his daughters lived in the house. Jean Hench kept the house

prices for equipment being purchased by municipalities like Wilkes-Barre. “If it’s a COSTARS purchase, then I’m okay with it,” George said after Tuesday night’s council work session. Council pulled the item from its agenda in June because George and Councilwoman Maureen Lavelle questioned the lack of paperwork explaining what the city was purchasing. Only four of the five council members were present in June – George Brown was absent. Lavelle did not attend Tuesday’s work session. George said he was going to ask the item be removed from Thursday night’s agenda, but has changed his mind. City Administrator Marie McCormick said the purchase would be “sole source procurement,” noting that Schneider Electric is the only vendor available to provide the cameras and integrate them with the existing city camera system. Schneider, formerly known as TAC of Dallas, Texas, was select-

ed in 2009 by the Hawkeye Security Systems board to design, install and maintain the city’s $2 million 150-digital camera surveillance system. There were 13 proposals received before TAC was chosen. McCormick said the contract with Schneider would be done in two phases – each costing $325,000. Funding is provided by state gaming taxes and Federal Transit Agency funds – $325,000 from each source, McCormick said. Another issue raised by the city was the warranty on the existing system. McCormick and Lou Lau, the city’s information technology director, said the warranty would be lost if another vendor installed the new cameras in the Intermodal Center and integrated them with the existing system. McCormick and Drew McLaughlin, the city’s administrative coordinator, said the warranty expires at the end of 2012, at which time a service agreement would be negotiated.

until she died last October, leaving everything inside to her 20 nieces and nephews. Kissner, 51, is the youngest and was put in charge of the estate. His aunt was a pack rat, and the house was filled with three generations of stuff. They found calendars from the meat market, turn-of-the-century dresses, a steamer trunk from Germany and a dresser with Grandma’s clothes neatly folded in the drawers. Months went by before they even got to the attic. On Feb. 29, Kissner’s cousin Karla Hench pulled out the dirty green box with metal clips at the corners and lifted the lid. Not knowing whether the cards were valuable, the two cousins put the box aside. But Kissner decided to do a little research. The cards were at his office in the restaurant he owns when he realized they might have something. He immediately took them across the street and put them in a bank vault. Still not knowing whether the cards were real, they sent eight to expert Peter Calderon at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, which recently sold the baseball that rolled

through the legs of Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner in the 1986 World Series for $418,000. Calderon said his first words were “Oh, my God.” The cards are from what is known as the E98 series. It is not clear who manufactured them or how many were produced, but the series consists of 30 players, half of them Hall of Famers.

As Senate debates bill, Casey touts tax-cut plan

ful we can come together in a bipartisan manner to move this bill forward.” Casey said the bill could help nearly 250,000 Pennsylvania businesses create jobs. In Luzerne County, there are 6,058 small businesses with 500 or fewer employees and 1,321 businesses with more than 500, according to figures Casey’s office provided. He said the legislation would have a significant impact on small business hiring. “Small establishments are a huge part of Pennsylvania’s economy,” Casey said. “That’s why we want to come up with a strategy to help these small businesses.” Casey said businesses in Pennsylvania with 50 or fewer employees have done the largest amount of hiring over the last 11 years. He said 46 percent of all new hires were in those small businesses. “We’re not creating new jobs at a fast enough pace,” Casey said. “Tax credits seem to be the best way to kick start job growth.” Casey’s staff said according to the Congressional Budget Office, a tax credit based on increased payroll would create the most jobs and have the greatest positive impact on America’s gross domestic product when compared to other job creation policies currently under debate. The credit would be available for one year beginning with the first full quarter following enactment.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Bob Casey said Tuesday the best way to add jobs to the economy is by providing tax cuts to small businesses. In a teleconference, the senator outlined a Democratic bill that would lower taxes for companies that hire new workers, give raises or buy major new equipment this year. Casey, D-Scranton, said the proposed tax credits could provide a savings of up to $4,200 per worker. The Senate has begun debating the bill after Republicans decided against derailing the plan with a procedural move. Senators voted 80-14 Tuesday afternoon to begin considering the legislation, which Democrats say would pump life into the economy. The measure would cost $29 billion over a decade and is backed by the Obama administration. GOP senators had considered opposing the measure, saying it’s an election-year device by Democrats with little chance of becoming law. “The legislation I have been fighting for since 2010 would give Pennsylvania’s small businesses a 10 percent tax credit for hiring or increasing wages and provide an immediate boost to the economy,” Casey said. “This week Congress will have an opportunity to help small businesses create jobs, and I’m hope-

Kofi Annan seeks support of Iran, Iraq leaders By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA and ALI AKBAR DAREINI Associated Press

Turmoil surrounds Egypt government

An Egyptian protester chants slogans in front of the parliament building in Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday. Egypt’s Islamistdominated parliament convened Tuesday in defiance of a ruling by the country’s highest court and swiftly voted to seek a legal opinion on the decision that invalidated the chamber over apparent election irregularities.

BAGHDAD — The U.N.’s special envoy on the Syrian crisis sought to build support for his peace efforts Tuesday with the leaders of Iran and Iraq, saying President Bashar Assad has agreed to a plan to quell the bloodshed in the most violent areas of Syria and then expand the operation to the whole country. Top diplomat Kofi Annan said at a news conference in Iran that the plan still must be presented to the Syrian opposition. But he said his talks with Assad a day earlier focused on a new approach to ending the violence, which activists say has killed more than 17,000 people since March 2011. “(Assad) made a suggestion of build-

ing an approach from the ground up in some of the districts where we have extreme violence — to try and contain the violence in those districts and, step by step, build up and end the violence across the country,” Annan told reporters in Tehran, his first step on a tour of Syria’s allies. He did not elaborate on the plan. Annan later visited Iraq and met Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to dis-

cuss ways to end the fighting. “I think we’ve all watched the tragic situation in Syria, the killings, the suffering of the people,” Annan said in Baghdad. “And everyone I’ve spoken to shares the concerns and the needs for us to stop the killing.” The conflict in Syria has defied every international attempt to bring peace, and there was no sign that the plan Annan described Tuesday will be a breakthrough. Although the Assad government’s crackdown has turned the Syrian president into an international pariah, he still has the support of strong allies such as Russia, Iran and China. There is little support for military intervention of the type that helped bring down Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi, and several rounds of sanctions and other at-

tempts to isolate Assad have done little to stop the bloodshed. Still, Annan’s latest efforts to reach out to Syrian allies suggest he sees them as integral to solving the crisis. Since Assad took power following the death of his father, Hafez, in 2000, he has deepened cultural, political and economic ties with Iran, making it Syria’s strongest regional ally. Tehran, in turn, has boosted Assad’s military, providing it with advanced communications technology and weapons. On Tuesday, Annan said Tehran has offered its support to end the conflict and must be “part of the solution.” “My presence here proves that I believe Iran can play a positive role and should therefore be a part of the solution in the Syrian crisis,” Annan told reporters in Tehran after meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi.

Awaited Penn St. report due Thursday

Obama, Romney clash over taxes and outsourcing jobs

NEW YORK

Things are heating up

Last year brought a record heat wave to Texas, massive floods in Bangkok and an unusually warm November in England. How much has global warming boosted the chances of events like that? Quite a lot in Texas and England, but apparently not at all in Bangkok, say new analyses released Tuesday. Scientists can’t blame any single weather event on global warming, but they can assess how climate change has altered the odds of such events happening, Tom Peterson of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration told reporters in a briefing. He’s an editor of a report that includes the analyses published by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. In the Texas analysis, researchers at Oregon State University and in England noted that the state suffered through record heat last year. It happened during a La Nina weather pattern, the flip side of El Nino. Caused by the cooling of the central Pacific Ocean, La Nina generally cools global temperatures but would be expected to make the southern United States warmer and drier than usual. HARRISBURG

Redistricting challenges up

The state Supreme Court will hear arguments during its September session on at least 10 challenges to the latest attempt to redraw Pennsylvania’s legislative district boundaries. Challengers include the Senate’s 20 Democrats, a few House Democrats, Montgomery and Cumberland County commissioners, the mayors of Phoenixville and West Chester and more than three dozen other people. Redrawing legislative districts is required every decade to account for population shifts and is highly partisan because of the ability to draw maps that favor one political party. The Supreme Court struck down the Republican-controlled commission’s first plan in January, saying it unnecessarily split some municipalities and drew some districts into shapes that weren’t properly compact. WASHINGTON

Medals database planned

The Pentagon says it plans to establish a searchable database of military valor awards and medals. The decision announced Tuesday by Pentagon press secretary George Little stems from a June 28 Supreme Court ruling that invalidated a law making it a crime to lie about receiving the Medal of Honor and other prized military awards. The idea of establishing a database is to make it easier to check on award claims, and perhaps to deter those who would make false claims. NEW YORK

NYC can’t scare smokers

An appeals court says New York City cannot try to scare smokers by requiring grotesque images of diseased lungs and decaying gums at stores that sell cigarettes. It says the federal government gets to decide how to warn people about the dangers of smoking tobacco. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan issued its ruling Tuesday. It rejected a 2009 city Board of Health resolution requiring tobacco retailers to display signs bearing graphic images showing the adverse health effects of smoking. The appeals court says the resolution is pre-empted by the Federal Cigarette Labeling and Advertising Act, enacted by Congress in 1965.

President offers up challenge By KEN THOMAS and KASIE HUNT Associated Press

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Clashing over the economy, President Barack Obama challenged Mitt Romney to join him in allowing tax hikes for rich Americans like them, needling his Republican rival on Tuesday to “compromise to help the middle class.” Romney dismissed the idea and returned fire on a sensitive topic, calling Obama the real “outsourcer-in-chief.” From Iowa and Colorado, two of the contested states drawing intense campaign attention, Obama and Romney fought for any advantage. While Obama was back in feelgood Iowa territory to talk taxes, Romney redirected charges that he had sent jobs overseas when he worked in private equity. “He’s run some interesting attack ads on me on that topic,” Romney said of the president. “It is interesting that when it comes to outsourcing that this president has been outsourcing a good deal of American jobs himself, by putting money into energy com-

panies that end up making their products outside the United States.” The former Bain Capital executive has been under heat from within his own party over his response to relentless attacks that he shipped jobs overseas. His campaign staff made sure to distribute a newspaper story critical of Obama’s own outsourcing record, loading up every press seat on the campaign plane with it. “If there’s an outsourcer-inchief, it’s the president of the

United States, not the guy who’s running to replace him,” Romney said in Grand Junction, Colo. To back up that claim, the Romney camp cited a Washington Post story that describes an ongoing trend of American jobs shifting to lowwage countries, including during Obama’s presidency. The story offers a critical look at the president’s progress in halting the pattern. The rhetorical standoff on taxes and jobs did little to change the underlying narra-

tive of a stalled economy, deadlocked Washington and tight election. Obama, running for re-election under the weight of high unemployment, has shifted to pinning blame on Romney and congressional Republicans over looming tax increases. Obama wants a one-year extension of tax cuts for households earning less than $250,000, which would cover most taxpayers in the country. Romney supports extending the federal tax cuts, first signed by George W. Bush, for all income earners. Congress is under deadline to act by year’s end or everyone’s taxes go up. “Doesn’t it make sense for us to agree to keep taxes low for 98 percent of Americans who are working hard and can’t afford a tax hike right now?” Obama said. Romney saw no such agreement. “They very idea of raising taxes on small businesses and job creators at the very time we need more jobs is the sort of thing only an extreme liberal can come up with,” Romney said.

Health repeal, not replacement on GOP minds By DAVID ESPO AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON — House Republicans generally avoided talk of replacement measures on Tuesday as they mobilized for an election-season vote to repeal the health care law that stands as President Barack Obama’s signature domestic accomplishment. Instead, they lambasted the 2-yearold law as a threat to the nation’s economic recovery and predicted some Democrats would join them in repudiating it. “This is nothing short of economic malpractice,” said Rep. Nan Hayworth of New York, citing tax increases, gov-

ernment mandates and other items in the law. “We can and we must do better.” She did not elaborate, nor did any of the members of the leadership in their remarks to reporters after the meeting. Republican officials said the general reluctance to sketch any sort of alternative resulted from a desire to focus public attention on the health care law itself. It generally fares poorly in public polling, both nationally and in surveys of independent voters. In addition, they said that while many Republicans ran on a slogan of “repeal and replace” in 2010, the rank and file is far from united around any

precise alternative. Republicans in both houses have suggested numerous measures in recent years to remake parts of the sprawling health care system. The last time the party offered a full-fledged legislative alternative was in 2009, meaning that none of the dozens of first-termers elected in 2010 were involved in its drafting. That measure called for capping medical malpractice judgments, allowing insurance companies to sell policies across state lines and permitting small businesses to pool together to purchase coverage for their employees.

STATE COLLEGE — An internal investigation into whether football coach Joe Paterno and other Penn State officials helped cover up reports that Jerry Sandusky was molesting children in the school’s locker rooms will be released Thursday, officials said Tuesday. The report, commissioned by school trustees following the former assistant football coach’s arrest last year, is expected to reveal how the university treated Sandusky after fielding complaints about his encounters with young boys in 1998 and 2001. It is also expected to cast additional light on how Paterno exerted control over the football program while Sandusky worked under him and after Sandusky retired from coaching. Not only could the report shape how Paterno is remembered, but it also could affect an ongoing NCAA probe into the school’s conduct and criminal cases against two Penn State administrators. The report is being issued by former FBI director Louis Freeh, who was hired by the university to find out what school officials, including Paterno, knew about the child molester in their midst. It will be published online at 9 a.m. Thursday. Investigators will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. in Philadelphia to discuss the findings and recommendations in the report. The announcement came the same day that ex-Penn State president Graham Spanier’s lawyers said he told Freeh’s investigators last week that he was never informed that Sandusky was spotted molesting a boy in a school shower. The lawyers were rebutting reports that indicate Spanier could have tried to cover up the abuse that ultimately led to Paterno’s firing. Both Spanier and the Hall of Fame coach were ousted by school trustees a few days after Sandusky was arrested in November. “At no time in the more than 16 years of his presidency at Penn State was Dr. Spanier told of an incident involving Jerry Sandusky that described child abuse, sexual misconduct or criminality of any kind, and he reiterated that during his interview with Louis Freeh and his colleagues,” said a statement from the lawyers, Peter Vaira and Elizabeth Ainslie. The Freeh report is not being released in advance to Penn State trustees or any other officials, his public relations agency said in its statement. Penn State trustees are holding closed-door meetings Thursday at the Worthington/Scranton Campus in Dunmore, followed by public meetings on Friday.

Helen “Sandy” Sanders Christian, 93, of Mifflinburg, passed away Monday, July 9, 2012, at Evangelical Community Hospital, Lewisburg. She was born August 19, 1918, in Mifflinburg, daughter of the late Clay S. and Florence L. (Baker) Sanders. She was raised in Shamokin and graduated as salutatorian from Shamokin High School in 1936. In 1940, she became the second of four generations of her family to graduate from Bucknell University in Lewisburg. She attained a Bachelor of Art degree in biology. After graduation, she worked for Bell Telephone Company, and was a wartime Red Cross volunteer. On December 30, 1944, she married William Erdman Christian of Shamokin, who introduced her to many new activities such as skiing, fishing, camping and canoeing. They lived in Shamokin and then Nanticoke, where she raised her family. She participated in her children’s’ lives as a Girl Scout leader, band parent and PTA member. She was a current and long-time member of First United Methodist Church in Nanticoke, and enjoyed its Couples Club and Corner Class for many years. She subsequently worked as a teacher in the Northwest Area School District in Shickshinny, retiring in 1978. In 1992, Helen moved to Mifflinburg where she had spent many childhood summers with her grandparents. She was happily reacquainted with several early playmates and gained many new friends among her neighbors and members of the Athenaeum Club, the Mifflinburg Buggy Museum, and the UCC Church. In her later years, Helen remained an avid reader, focused on British detective stories. No day for her was a success unless she solved the daily crossword and word jumble. She continued to be a most generous, thoughtful and engaged person described as “such a joy” and “a special presence” for a wide variety of occasions. Surviving are two daughters and sons-in-law, Joyce and Gary Detter, of Saint Leonard, Md., and Karen and Douglas Hovey, of Mifflinburg; four grandchildren, Elizabeth Detmeister, of Alexandria, Va., Rebecca Repp, of Suwanee, Ga., Ian Hovey, of Christiansburg, Va., Benjamin Hovey, of Wallingford; two great-grandchildren, Elena Detmeister and Jackson Repp; one niece, Peggy Christian, of Bowdoinham, Me.; and one nephew, Robert Christian, of Rochester, N.H.

By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press

A fiscal and political crisis in the nearlybroke northeastern Pennsylvania city of Scranton deepened Tuesday as public employee unions sought to have the mayor held in contempt of court after he defied a judge and slashed workers’ pay to minimum wage. Unions representing firefighters, police and public-works employees also filed a pair of federal lawsuits against Mayor Chris Doherty and the city that alleged violations of labor law and due-process rights. Doherty last week ignored a court order and cut the pay of about 400 city workers to

ners, she said. "We’re not at the forefront here," Maddon Curry said. Councilman Stephen A. Urban said he opposes the additional benefits because the county is in a financial crisis and the partners don’t fall under the traditional or state definition of marriage. "I think enough is enough with the spending," Urban said. Councilman Stephen J. Urban said nontraditional relationships could include multiple domestic partners of one employee. Council Chairman Jim Bobeck said the definition makes it clear a partnership is between only two people. Benefits for domestic partners will attract professionals and show the county is progressive, Bobeck said.

restore full pay once finances are stabilized. “It’s incredible,” the unions’ attorney, Thomas Jennings, said Tuesday. “I’ve never had a public official just say, ‘I’m not going to obey a court order. I’m not even going to try. He can’t tell me what to do.”’ Doherty is locked in a dispute with Scranton’s city council over a financial recovery plan as it faces a $16.8 million budget deficit. The mayor didn’t return a phone message from The Associated Press on Tuesday, but he told the Times-Tribune of Scranton on Monday that his administration and the council remained at stalemate over the $85 million budget. “If I had the money, I’d pay them,” Doherty said of city workers.

Councilman Eugene Kelleher said he wants to know the projected costs before making a decision. Councilman Harry Haas said he understands the equality argument but doesn’t believe taxpayers should be forced to fund something they disagree with. County Manager Robert Lawton said the change would negatively impact the employee pension fund because domestic partners would be entitled to survivor benefits. "We’re all focusing on health care, but there are other aspects to this that really need to be flushed out," Lawton said. Kingston resident Brian Shiner told council the county’s home rule charter and new personnel code guarantee equality, which means domestic partners shouldn’t be excluded. "We have a new government here. We need to drop the homophobic attitudes,” he said. “We

ers — alleges Doherty and the city violated their due-process rights when he cut their disability pay. The second lawsuit, also filed Tuesday in federal court, alleges that Doherty and the city violated labor law by failing to pay overtime to police officers, firefighters and public-works employees. The unions separately asked a Lackawanna County judge to hold Doherty in contempt of his order that the city pay full wages to its work force. Sam Vitris, president of the public-works union, said the steep wage cut has come as a blow to employees struggling to pay mortgages, car loans, credit cards and other bills. He said some of his members have canceled their vacations.

need to join other counties in the state." County resident Casey Evans said county officials shouldn’t recognize domestic partners for nepotism purposes but reject health care coverage. He said he is in a same-sex relationship that will lead to marriage, and prospective employers often prefer to locate in inclusionary areas. "We can show everyone Luzerne County is the inclusive, welcoming place," Evans said. Kingston resident Therman Guamp said the county can’t afford to offer health care coverage to additional dependents. He supports Councilman Rick Williams’ suggestion to switch to a different health care approach in which employees are covered but required to pay the cost of dependent coverage. Williams said the health care issue could be resolved by establish-

ing a "cafeteria" health plan that covers employees and allows them to pay higher, uniform amounts to cover dependents, which could include domestic partners. Williams also proposed council set other workforce goals for the administration, including switching all employees to a 40-hour work week and equalizing the pay for all employees in the same job title, regardless of the department. Council may establish a subcommittee to formulate recommended workforce standards. In other business, council voted to hire Brittany Burgess as the new council clerk. She will be paid $40,000 and won’t be eligible for overtime. Bobeck said Burgess is a Lackawanna County native relocating to the area from Virginia Beach. He said she has "extensive experience" in local government.

Prothonotary sends county manager email about his “negative attitude.” By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olenginski sent county Manager Robert Lawton an email Tuesday about his “unwarranted negative attitude” and copied county council members. According to the memo, Lawton visited the prothonotary’s office at 9:35 a.m. Friday, when Medico Olenginski was attending church services and her deputy, Art Bobbouine, was on vacation. “As you were leaving the office several of my employees and customers heard you mumble to yourself in a negative tone but loud enough for them to hear, ‘I’m glad to see the office runs on its own,’ ” she wrote. She told Lawton it was “troubling” he would “disrespect my office and me in such a manner.” Medico Olenginski said the office doesn’t run on its own. Her employees are “professionally trained,” and she has implemented policies for “peak performance 100 percent of the time,” she wrote. “It is disappointing that (without any merit) you have repeatedly expressed a negative attitude towards me. I worked long, hard hours to bring this of-

fice into the 21st century. I will not sit silently allowing you to disrespect and discredit my management efforts,” she wrote. Medico Olenginski also said she offered to implement the judicial records division reorganization required by home rule for no additional pay. She said her credentials, expertise, experience and records are “second to none.” “You refused my generous offer and since that time you have been acting towards me as if I were an adversary. Having a negative attitude towards good people is not the road to good government,” she wrote in closing. Lawton declined to comment on the email. Medico Olenginski was elected prothonotary – the keeper of civil records – in 2009 and previously held the elected post from 1998 to 2002. The prothonotary was among several elected row officer seats eliminated by home rule, though Medico Olenginski is guaranteed to receive the $36,562 compensation through 2013, when her term ends. Though county council members received the prothonotary’s latest memo, they are precluded from getting involved in day-to-day operations under the manager’s control. Council hires and fires the county manager and must come up with a procedure to evaluate his performance.

OUR OPINION: COUNTY WORKERS

Time has expired for 32.5-hour week

OR MOST working stiffs in Luzerne County, punching out after only a 32.5-hour “workweek” sounds too good to be true, like humming a certain Johnny Paycheck tune to your boss right before tendering a swift and memorable resignation. Not so for many Luzerne County government workers. The bulk of the 1,500-plus people on the county’s payroll were hired under union contracts stipulating a workweek of only 35 or even 32.5 hours. Certain taxpayers understandably feel cheated, calculating all the tasks that could be accomplished during those “lost” hours. And skeptics surmise that a few extended trips to the water cooler and some bathroom breaks might drop a worker’s productive time below the 30-hour mark. A true 40 hours per week should be the standard for Luzerne County’s workforce. Members of the startup Luzerne County Council, which six months ago grabbed the reins of county government, are right to explore ways to recon-

cile the varied contracts and institute a uniform workweek. Negotiating this change won’t be quick (since the existing contracts don’t all expire in the same year) or easy. How, for instance, will current workers be fairly compensated if a central condition of their employment – the time they spend on the job – suddenly increases? Sadly, they probably won’t get much public sympathy during the prolonged discussions over their work schedules. Perceptions linger about elected officials packing county government with unnecessary patronage jobs. Likewise, in years past, some of Luzerne County’s supposed full-time row officers were spotted far beyond the courthouse during business hours, drawing into question their work ethic. Plus, especially in today’s job market, plenty of truck drivers, secretaries, plumbers, painters and other non-public workers toil far beyond 40 hours, laboring until the job is done, not until the clock hits … (Oh, look at that. It’s quitting time. Let’s pick up here tomorrow.)

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Inviting Iran to discuss how to best transition to a post-Assad Syria is akin to inviting vegetarians to a barbecue.” Karim Sadjadpour The Iran analyst with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace expressed skepticism after international envoy Kofi Annan on Monday tried to rescue his peace plan for Syria by seeking help from Iran. Activists estimate more than 17,000 people have died in the Syrian conflict since it began in March 201 1.

STATE OPINION: PHOTO ID LAW

Pa. voters deserve reprieve from guv

VEN WITH evidence that more than 750,000 Pennsylvania voters could be disenfranchised, Gov. Tom Corbett is refusing to ask the Legislature to delay implementation of the commonwealth’s new voter ID law. According to figures released a few hours before the July 4 holiday, 758,939 registered Pennsylvania voters don’t have a Pennsylvania driver’s license or alternative PennDOT identification. That’s 9.2 percent of Pennsylvania’s 8.2 million voters. While some – not all – other forms of government or university identification are acceptable under the new law, we are still talking about hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians having to jump through a series of bureaucratic hoops to vote on Nov. 6. Compare that to the claim by Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele, repeated without documentation for months before and after the passage of the law, that just 1 percent of Pennsylvania voters (a not-insignificant 82,000 citizens) do not already have acceptable ID. EDITORIAL BOARD

NEED PROPER ID? For information on how to obtain acceptable identification to vote, visit the Committee of Seventy’s website – www.seventy.org – or call 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683).

Of course, Aichele and Corbett also have long ignored the fact that there is no hard, or even soft, evidence of a need for a law preventing voter impersonation in this state or others. In fact, a group of Republican lawyers could document only 400 voter-fraud cases in the entire country over a decade, less than one case per state per year. Most of those cases were vote-buying schemes that would not have been prevented by a voter-ID law. The law rightly has been challenged as a violation of the Pennsylvania Constitution, with a hearing set in Commonwealth Court for July 25. But Gov. Corbett could dispel suspicion that he supports voter suppression by reversing himself and asking for a delay in implementing the law. Philadelphia Daily News

Shootings signal need to ‘clean up’ Plymouth

ver since Sunday, I’ve been reading about these Plymouth shootings and how everyone in the borough is in shock and afraid to leave their houses. Have they left their houses lately? This town has been going down for quite some time, and no one seems to want to do anything about it. The kids do what they please and have no respect for anyone or anything. There seemingly are drug houses on every street, and all anyone seems to do is turn their backs like it’s none of their business. Well, now it’s killing our kids, so it’s time to wake up and clean up the filth. I wasn’t born and raised in this town, but I do know that a community isn’t supposed to be like this. I am completely disgusted with how people can just turn their backs on their hometown and let the criminals and drug dealers take it over without a fight. I feel for the families of the shooting victims. Those families are in my thoughts and prayers at all times. But this is a perfect reason to begin the process of cleaning up the community. Wake up, Plymouth! It’s time to take back your town. Tia Miller Plymouth

Writer: Double standard in Sacred Heart closure

his is in regard to the article “Rome upholds Sacred Heart closure” (June 20). I believe we are all deeply saddened concerning this matter. The Sacred Heart Wilkes-Barre Foundation Inc., is doing everything possible to reopen Sacred Heart of Jesus Church. When you drive past Sacred Heart Church, everyone can see it’s standing, with no stucco falling off or anything lying on the unneeded scaffolding. But the pastor has the nerve to ask all parishioners of St. Andre Bessette Parish (formerly Sacred Heart/St. John’s) to help defray the costs of repairing Holy Saviour Church. At one point in the closing of Sacred Heart, the parishioners wanted to do a capital campaign; our idea was rejected. Explain to me which church is falling apart. Sacred Heart isn’t falling apart outside or inside. Now, if you go to Holy Saviour, anyone can see how it is roped off due to falling plaster. Why can’t the higher-ups see this issue? How do you expect parishioners of Sacred Heart/St. John’s to contribute to repair another church (Holy Saviour) when they were denied the chance to repair their own church?

He’s sick of GOP’s handling of health care

here is much being said about the Affordable Care Act, “Obamacare,” and there is much fist-waving and chestthumping by Republican leadership and conservative talk show hosts. It seems that the Fox News organization has devoted itself to overturning the act. The fact that 30 million Americans will lose health care coverage at the very minute they succeed plays no part in its effort. The fact that the pharmaceutical-written Medicare “donut hole” is being eliminated, and individuals are saving hundreds, is not even considered. So what, then, is the driving force behind killing this health care reform? The answer is simple but never mentioned by the Republicans or Fox News. It is the 80/20 rule. Insurance companies are now required to spend 80 cents of every premium dollar on health care. The remaining 20 cents is for administrative costs. That means there will be a strong decline in CEO million-dollar pays and company bonus programs for top management. It means that executive memberships in fancy private clubs will not be paid for with our premium dollars. Any part of that 80 cents not spent on health care must be refunded to plan holders. This, my friends, is the reason why the Affordable Care Act is under attack. Ask yourself why anyone would want to eliminate the pre-existing condition clause? Why would anyone want to eliminate the maximum lifetime coverage on any policy, and why would anyone want to stop insurance companies from refusing coverage and dropping people from coverage? It is time for the 99 percent to wake up and show House Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell the door. It is time to send Congress mem-

DOONESBURY

bers such as Rep. Lou Barletta back to his private business and out of public business. It is time for Americans to tell the Republican-led Congress, which voted two years in a row to eliminate Medicare as we know it, that we are mad and not taking it any more. You have two choices: You can sit and wait like sheep about to be slaughtered, or you can stand up and make Congress aware that it has kicked a sleeping dog and we will remember them on election day.

Church consolidation a blessing for Nanticoke

he recent decision by the Scranton Diocese to close, then consolidate, numerous churches in the Wyoming Valley was truly a difficult but necessary one. So many people were affected by these changes, and the parishioners of the Nanticoke community were no exception. A thick black cloud seemed to hover over the entire Catholic community. But as the old saying goes, behind every cloud is a silver lining, and that was the case in Nanticoke. Five Catholic churches were consolidated into one, namely the parish of St. Faustina. If you happened to attend the recent St. Faustina Festival, you would realize the meaning of my reference to “the silver lining.” The parishioners from all five parishes joined together and worked arduously to achieve a very successful festival – and three memorable nights of self-sacrifice, generosity of spirit and camaraderie. To attempt to name all the individuals who donated their time and talents would be futile. Rest assured, each will be rewarded in heaven. From the workers who donned their aprons and sweatbands to fry the delicious potato pancakes, to the pierogie makers, to the food service volunteers, to the ticket takers and everyone else who had a part in the success of this festival, I highly commend you. This wonderful community of Catholics thrives under the spiritual leadership of Father Jim Nash and Father Ray Deviney, two of the most dedicated and compassionate priests you’d ever want to meet. It took awhile for the people to accept the many changes brought about by the consolidation. But I truly believe the parishioners of St. Faustina Parish have set an excellent example for anyone else in the same situation. Congratulations to all the volunteers for a job well done! God bless each and every one. Joan Wozniak Hanover Township

Planters peanut auctioneer Jim Johnson of Lewistown, Ill., talks with collector Danny Simmons of Annapolis, Md.

Crazy for ‘The Nut’ MR. PEANUT ON DISPLAY

By NODYIA FEDRICK Times Leader Intern

WILKES-BARRE – More than just a gathering of fanatical nuts, the 33rd annual Peanut Pals’ convention brought members together to swap Mr. Peanut memorabilia and stories about their passion. Arlene Pawlowicz and her daughter Christine, both of Goshen, N.Y., were two of the 40 vendors at Genetti’s Hotel on Tuesday displaying their many collectibles. They said they started collecting about 25 years ago. “Just about my whole life,” Christine said. Their most prized possession is a 5-foot, hand-carved Mr. Peanut picture Arlene has had since the ’70s, when she worked for Standard Brands, the company that took over Wilkes-Barre-based Planters Peanuts in the 1960s. “It’s a one-of-a-kind,” Arlene said. She believes $1,500 is a reasonable asking price “for something that’s hand-carved and that awesome.” The most valuable item at the swap meet on Tuesday was the “blinker,” according to Peanut Pals’ auctioneer, Jim Johnson. The blinker, owned by Scott Schmitz, is about a foot tall Mr. Peanut figure once placed in store windows to catch the eye of those passing by, when the aroma of roasting

Salavantis said though Davis and Hamilton were arrested within 24 hours of the killings, the investigation is still maturing. “We’re learning more about what happened,” she said. Salavantis said Hamilton has been living in the area for at least two years and was recently joined by Davis. Facebook profiles for Davis and Hamilton say they are both self-employed businessmen and attended different high schools in Philadelphia. A phone number for their Philadelphia address is disconnected.

nuts just wasn’t enough. Schmitz began collecting with his parents in 1976. After his mother was diagnosed with cancer in 1993, he decided to take her to the annual conventions until her passing in 1996. Judith Walthall, Peanut Pals founder from Alabama, also had a stand set up, but she seemed more engaged by the children. One little boy came up to Walthall flaunting his first piece of Planters memorabilia and with a smile she told him, “you’re starting to be a collector now.” The “Nutmobile” pulled up around 3 p.m. in front of Genetti’s, where children had their pictures taken, but it hardly distracted serious buyers at the swap meet.

Despite Planters Peanuts and Chocolate Co. originating in Wilkes-Barre, this was the first Peanut Pals National Convention to take place in its hometown. The first meeting took place in Indianapolis and has traveled all over the country from Connecticut to California. Janeann and John Lokken decided to host this year’s event after attending the 2010 convention in Las Vegas, when no one was willing to take on the 2012 job. Amadeo Obici, an Italian immigrant who eventually opened up a fruit stand in WilkesBarre, became known as the “The Peanut Specialist” shortly after investing in a peanut roaster. Realizing the importance of repeat business and branding, Obici held a contest for children to come up with the Planters’ mascot. In 1916, 13-year-old Antonio Gentile won, and eventually the top hat, monocle and cane were added.

Victims’ items reported missing Mother of the Maldonado brothers visited the shooting scene on Tuesday.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

PLYMOUTH – The mother of two of the four shooting victims returned to the apartment shooting scene Tuesday to discover valuables were missing. Susana Handelong of Stroudsburg said she and the mother of her son’s six-week-old daughter went to 401First St. to remove personal belongings of her sons, Nicholas Maldonado, 17, and Danny Maldonado, 19. Handelong said she and Danny’s fiancée, Ashley Bryant, discovered Ashley’s engagement ring and a ring her grandmother gave her were stolen sometime after the brutal murders.

On Saturday Nicholas Maldonado, Bradley Swartwood, 21, of Plymouth, and Lisa Abaunza, 15, of Duryea, were fatally shot inside the apartment. The fourth victim, Danny Maldonado, remained in critical condition at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Tuesday. Shawn Hamilton, 18, and his half brother, Sawud Davis, 16, both of Nanticoke and formerly of Philadelphia, are being held without bail in connection with the shootings. “A lot of personal stuff has been stolen,” Susana Handelong said. “Somebody took Danny’s clothes and an iPad and other items are gone.” Handelong said she and Bryant also removed personal items believed to belong to Bradley Swartwood and Lisa Abaunza, the other two people killed Saturday evening. “I have everything, and I will

keep them until I hear from the families,” she said. A candlelight vigil will be held today from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the site – 401 First St., Plymouth – in memory of all the shooting victims. Bryant will set up a collection basket for people to donate toward burial expenses for Nicholas. Handelong said she’s been told those costs could be in the thousands. “I don’t have that kind of money,” she said. Handelong said Tuesday Danny is doing better, but is a long way from being “out of the woods.” Sifting through the bloodstained apartment, Handelong said she kept herself together by making herself believe the dark red stains were spilled wine and not the blood of her sons and two others. Abaunza’s family declined comment when contacted Tuesday.

Fed-up Plymouth residents say they will fight back By SCOTT L. GOMB Times Leader Correspondent

PLYMOUTH – Residents vowed to take their town back at Tuesday night’s council meeting in the wake of a triple homicide that occurred in the borough over the weekend. Residents packed council’s hot and stuffy chambers and spilled over into the hall as they searched for answers and offered ideas on what direction to go. They bombarded council with stories of brazen drug deals they’ve witnessed in the middle of the day, drug needles littering the little league field, fear of walking the streets and the concerns that it’s only going to get worse and that the drug dealers have won. One thing was for certain though, something has to be done to fight back whether it be more police, stronger code enforcement or an aggressive citizen crime watch. “It’s not the Plymouth we grew up in,” said John Frey. “The malignant element in the borough is increasing.” Frey’s comments drew applause from the

crowd of about 125 who agreed with his belief that a combination of federal, state and social programs have contributed to the increase in low income housing in the borough that is attracting a bad element. West Main Street resident Paul Gardner said council must be more proactive in inspecting section eight properties and their owners along with landlords. Instead of more police, the borough should hire more code enforcement and volunteered his time if need be. Council President Frank Coughlin praised local and state police for the rapid arrests in the murders and also said the borough will take action on a landlord tenant ordnance next month. “It will go a long way to finding out who’s living in these places,” said Coughlin. “Unfortunately, there’s more laws in this country to protect the criminals instead of the innocent. Coughlin said the ordnance will not solve all the borough’s problems with out of state landlords and residents moving in and out of dwell-

ings in the middle of the night but it’s a start. Plymouth Police Officer John Vanderlick told residents that the borough desperately needs to hire additional police and purchase more cruisers. The borough can’t make a dent in the crime with only four full-time officers and two cruisers, he said. “If we don’t have the officers, we can’t do anything about it,” said Vanderlick. “Statistically, Plymouth has the highest crime rate in the area,” he said. Police Chief Myles Collins urged residents to call 911 anytime they see something suspicious. If it feels suspicious, it usually is, he said. Coughlin said it cost about $60,000 to hire an officer and that any new hires would cause a rise in taxes. No resident spoke against a tax hike for more officers. Council, police and residents did seem to agree that the only way to combat the problem is by working together rather than blaming each other and will look into forming a crime watch.

Flood insurance policy holders would face a $50 premium surcharge if the probationary status takes effect. And if the borough is placed on probation, officials would have to show significant progress in the first six months or risk suspension from the flood insurance program and losing all grants and loans for structures in the flood zone. The letter listed six program deficiencies; among them: Failure to require and maintain permits for flood repair work on structures in the Special Flood Hazard Area; failure to obtain and maintain documentation showing that flood victims were complying with FEMA requirements such as elevating their utilities above the flood plain; and failure of the borough to enforce suspected or know violations. Council President Barry Hosier said borough officials were to contact FEMA by July 1. “Not only was that contact made, but we also started a corrective action plan at a meeting held in this office,” Hosier said. Hosier said solicitor Mark Bufalino drew up a draft of a new Flood Plain Management

The documents are also available at the borough building, 555 Exeter Ave., during regular business hours.

Ordinance that council intends to approve at its Aug. 7 meeting if it gets FEMA’s approval, and “all of the steps are being taken as per dates that FEMA set for (the) borough at this meeting.” Hosier also appointed a Corrective Action Plan Committee, including himself and Councilmen Pete Albano and Barry Stankus, to further progress between council meetings. Several residents criticized borough code officer Dominic Pepe for signing off on work that might not meet FEMA requirements. Others criticized council for not enforcing permit requirements. Councilman Brian Thornton said council tried to alert people to permitting requirements and members often were met with “obscenities and profanity.”

Giants teammates Pablo Sandoval (three-run triple) and Matt Cain (starting pitcher) also had memorable nights.

NL makes it 3 wins in a row in Mid-Summer Classic The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pablo Sandoval and Melky Cabrera turned the All-Star game into a Giant blowout. Flashing their bright orange spikes and booming bats, the San Francisco sluggers keyed a five-run blitz against Justin Verlander in the first inning that sent the National League to an 8-0 romp over the American League on Tuesday night. Cabrera homered and won the MVP award, and Giants teammate Matt Cain started a strong pitching performance for the NL in its most-lopsided All-Star victory. Cain combined with Stephen Strasburg, R.A. Dickey, Aroldis Chapman and the rest of a lights-out staff on a six-hitter. “San Francisco Giants show,” Matt Kemp of the rival Dodgers said during the game. Ryan Braun, an All-Star again after his drug suspension was overturned last winter, doubled, tripled and made a fine catch in the outfield to help give the NL its first threegame winning streak in two decades. Chipper Jones singled in his final All-Star at-bat at age 40 as the NL, under retired manager Tony La Russa, once again claimed home-field advantage in the World Series. Teen sensation Bryce Harper had a shaky All-Star debut. Fellow rookie Mike Trout, only

20, showed off his dynamic skills. The game was pretty much decided a few moments after it started. Sandoval hit the first bases-loaded triple in All-Star history off Verlander, who couldn’t control his 100 mph heat. Cabrera singled and scored the first run, then hit a two-run homer against Matt Harrison in a three-run fourth. “I don’t get many triples,” said the slowfooted Sandoval, known as Kung Fu Panda. “We had some fun with that in the dugout.” Rafael Furcal also hit a three-bagger, making the NL the first league with three in an AllStar game. As the All-Stars returned to Kansas City for the first time since 1973, La Russa bid a fond farewell to the national stage in the city where he played for his first major league team. Having retired after managing St. Louis to last year’s World Series title, La Russa became just the fourth inactive manager to skipper an All-Star team and improved to 4-2. The NL boosted its advantage to 43-38-2 and won for just the third time in the 10 years the All-Star game has been used to determine home-field advantage in the World Series. La Russa’s Cardinals benefited from last year’s NL All-Star victory, with St. Louis winning Games Milwaukee’s Ryan Braun tripled to help the National League jump out to an early and commanding lead. The NL will now have home-field advantage in the World Series.

Yanks used to boos, but not quite like this By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

The scorn from Royals fans for the Yankees’ Robinson Cano continued during Tuesday’s All-Star Game. The boos started on Monday because Cano did not pick Royals slugger Billy Butler for his Home Run Derby team.

broadcasters, radio hosts and columnists called the fans everything from “jerks” to “classless.” “Robinson Cano certainly picked people he thought should be on there,” Commissioner Bud Selig told the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Tuesday. “While I understand Kansas City and I understand the whole Billy Butler thing, I really felt very badly last night.” Union head Michael Weiner thought the level of jeering was not justified. “It struck me that it moved a little bit past traditional, good-natured booing, particularly for an event like that, and got into another area,” Weiner said. “But Robinson Cano grew up in the Dominican Republic, plays in the Bronx, plays for the Yankees. He’s going to be fine.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The relentless booing of the Yankees’ Robinson Cano by Kansas City fans during the All-Star Home Run Derby on Monday night drew national attention, and in some places scorn. Fans were upset after the captain of the American League squad said he would choose a hometown player for his four-man team, but instead bypassed Royals star Billy Butler and went with Prince Fielder of the Tigers, Mark Trumbo of the Angels and Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays. Fielder won the competition, and the AL routed the National League. Cano wound up going 0 for 10, though, and each failure was met by cheers. Cano brushed off the cold reception, but others weren’t so kind to Kansas City. Several national TV See BOOS, Page 3B

AUSTIN, Texas — With Lance Armstrong digging in for a legal fight, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency issued lifetime sports bans Tuesday to three former staff members and consultants on the cyclist’s winning Tour de France teams for drug violations. Luis Garcia del Moral was a team doctor; Armstrong Michele Ferrari was a consulting doctor; and Jose “Pepe” Marti (team trainer) worked for Armstrong’s U.S. Postal Service and Discovery Channel squads. All had been accused by USADA of participating in a vast doping conspiracy on those teams during part or all of Armstrong’s seven Tour victories from 1999-2005. Armstrong also has been charged and has declared his innocence. Several hours after USADA announced its sanctions against the others, Armstrong’s attorneys refiled a lawsuit asking a federal judge in Austin to prevent the case against from going forward.

Hanover grad will lead Lions

Jason McManus takes over as the new head coach at Penn State Wilkes-Barre. By TOM ROBINSON For The Times Leader

The Penn State Wilkes-Barre baseball program could use a boost. Director of Athletics Brian D. Stanchak is hoping to get it from former Lion Jason McManus. McManus, a Hanover Area High School graduate who had been serving as junior varsity coach for Riverside High in Taylor, was named recently to take over at Penn State Wilkes-Barre. As a player, McManus helped Penn State Wilkes-Barre to Commonwealth Colleges Athletic Conference Eastern Division titles in 1991 and 1992.

Interleague rivalries will be cut down With a new schedule format for 2013, series like the Yankees vs. Mets will shrink. By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The number of games between interleague rivals such as the Yankees and Mets, Cubs and White Sox, and Dodgers and Angels will be reduced under Major League Baseball’s new schedule format for 2013. Players’ union head Michael Weiner said Tuesday that in most instances the rivalry games will be cut from six to

either four or three. The new format was caused by next year’s move of the Houston Astros to the American League, creating two 15-team circuits and the need for interleague play throughout the season. “It wasn’t fair to have six games against an opponent that other teams in your division didn’t,” Weiner said Tuesday during a question-and-answer session with the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. “The Mets, for example, would say ‘Why do we have to play the Yankees six times every single year when some of our division opponents are playing teams that aren’t traditionally as

strong? We understand we’ve got to play the Yankees every year. That’s OK. Why should we play six?’ ” Teams in a division will play three games each against teams in another division: for example, the NL East vs. the AL Central. The interleague rivalries will be either one three-game series or a home-and-home of two games each, Weiner said. There will be an exception in years the rivals play the opposite division — for instance, the Cubs and White Sox would play six times in years the NL Central plays the AL Central. Baseball’s new labor contract says teams will play up to 20

interleague games a year. Weiner says the total is likely to be close to the maximum. “It may be that you can come up with a more workable schedule by moving up to the higher end of the interleague play range as opposed to the lower end,” he said. “So it’s not a question that 19 or 20 is much better than 18 in terms of interleague play, it’s a question of how to put the pieces of the puzzle together.” A draft schedule has been given to the union, which is studying it before MLB finalizes it ahead of an anticipated September release. Because of the two 15-team

leagues, two clubs will have to open and close with interleague games. “That’s not a plus of the system, but the other plusses of the system, going to 15 and 15, were so overwhelming that we live with that,” Weiner said. Interleague games will be kept to a minimum in the final four-to-six weeks of the regular season. “A team could have two interleague series in September, but they wouldn’t have two away interleague series, so that they wouldn’t either have to add a DH or lose their DH for more than three games,” he said.

The American League’s Justin Verlander, of the Detroit Tigers, misses a grounder from the National League’s Rafael Furcal, of the St. Louis Cardinals, in the first inning of the Major League All-Star Game on Tuesday in Kansas City, Mo.

BOOS Continued from Page 1B

Cano said that he was prepared for a frigid reception, even though it appeared to rattle him every time his father, Jose, delivered a pitch that he popped up, fouled off or grounded out. Yankees teammates Curtis Granderson and CC Sabathia even interrupted the proceedings to give father and son and a pep talk, but it didn’t do a whole lot of good. “It was interesting,” Granderson said. “It was one of those things where once it started, everyone else caught on, and the performance that Robbie was

able to do just added to it. But it’s like Robinson said, we’re the Yankees, we get booed all the time.” The booing didn’t stop on Tuesday night, either. While fans cheered every other player during pregame introductions — including fellow Yankees Derek Jeter and Granderson — they still jeered Cano when he trotted out from the home dugout. Yankees star Alex Rodriguez sent Cano a text message of encouragement Monday night — “He said, you know, he’s a guy that’s looking out for me,” Cano said — and many others came to his defense. “I’m sure it happens in every ballpark, where there’s the

hometown guy didn’t make it, and in Robbie’s defense, it’s hard to pick three guys,” White Sox slugger Adam Dunn said. “It’s kind of a tough spot to be put in.” Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun questioned the practice of having players pick the teams. “I understand why they have a captain, but I also feel like it puts guys in uncomfortable positions,” he said, adding that he’s certain David Wright of the Mets will be chosen next year, when the All-Star game is played at Citi Field in New York. “You don’t want to deal with what Robinson dealt with,” Braun said. The passionate reaction by Royals fans created plenty of

drama, though, particularly in an event that often becomes stale by the time the first round grinds to a conclusion. “Kansas City fans are better than that, but I don’t get on them,” said Chris Berman, who called the derby for ESPN. “I get it, but the three guys he picked were the three top guys.” Butler, a first-time All-Star, did his best to deflect questions about the booing. He said that he appreciated Kansas City fans for their support, and that he spoke to Cano after the derby to make sure everything was fine. “There are no hard feelings. There never was,” Butler said. “Me and Robbie are great friends, we’re great competitors, and love playing each other.”

6 and 7 at home against Ron Washington’s Texas Rangers. Jones, retiring at the end of the season, also had one last All-Star moment, pinch hitting in the sixth and singling just past second baseman Ian Kinsler and into right field. Jones chuckled as the ball rolled through. “Whether you’re 19 or 40, we are all equals here,” Jones said during his pregame speech to the NL. Harper, at 19 the youngest position player in All-Star history, had a shaky start when he entered in the fifth. The heralded rookie, wearing shiny gold shoes, didn’t flash a Gold Glove and lost Mike Napoli’s routine fly to left in the lights, allowing it to drop behind him for a single. He then caught Kinsler’s bases-loaded flyball to end the inning, earning cheers from the crowd of 40,933 at Kauffman Stadium, spruced up by a $250 million renovation that was completed three years ago. Harper did draw a walk and tagged up on a long fly, but later got himself hung up in a rundown and tagged out. Trout, among a record five All-Star rookies, had a nice showing against two very different pitchers. The Angels outfielder singled and stole a base against Dickey’s knuckleball, then drew a walk against Chapman and his 101 mph heat. Cain pitched the 22nd perfect game in big league history last month. He didn’t have to be perfect in this one, allowing one hit in two innings for the win. “For those guys to go out and score five runs in the first inning was definitely a little more relaxing for me,” he said. “But I still tried to stay focused.” Cain was followed by 10 relievers, with Jonathan Papelbon getting the last out with a runner on third base. Verlander had a puzzling outing. In games that count, he hasn’t allowed five runs in an inning since April 2010, according to STATS LLC. He became the first All-Star to give up a five-spot since Houston’s Roger Clemens in front of his hometown fans in 2004. “It was pretty difficult for me to get the ball down today,” said Verlander, who admitted he approached this differently than a regular-season start. In a 35-pitch inning, he threw five pitches clocked at 100 mph and another at 101. “But I had fun,” he said. “That’s why I don’t try to throw 100 in the first inning. But this is for the fans. It doesn’t usually work out too well for me.” A crowd clad in red, white and blue T-shirts cheered during pregame introductions for hometown star Billy Butler, who dropped his cap when he tried to wave it. Fans booed the New York Yankees’ Robinson Cano, who angered local fans when he bypassed Butler for Monday night’s Home Run Derby. Not since Game 7 of Kansas City’s 1985 World Series over the Cardinals had the baseball world descended on the Royals’ ballpark, a rare 1970s beauty known for its 322-foot-wide fountain in right and the 105foot-high scoreboard topped by a crown. Cabrera, a former Yankee, singled with one out in the first and scored on a double to deep right by Braun, the reigning NL MVP.

Brazil soccer fear: Win gold or else? Pressure is on the South American power, which will host the next World Cup with high expectations. By TALES AZZONI AP Sports Writer

U.S. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte models the official Team USA Opening Ceremony Parade Uniform. As an official outfitter of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams, Ralph Lauren has designed Team USA’s Official Opening and Closing Ceremony Parade Uniforms as well as a collection of village wear apparel and accessories. The company said the goal was to show “the spirit of American athleticism and sportsmanship.”

Fashion statements for U.S. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Berets are back for the U.S. Olympic team. The team unveiled buttoned-up, refined uniforms designed by Ralph Lauren Tuesday for the opening ceremony at the London Olympics. Men will wear navy blue blazers with the Olympic team patch, along with a red and navy tie, and cream-colored flat-front pants. Women will pair the blazers with scarves with red, white and blue stripes, and a knee-length cream-colored skirt. All the team members will top off their uniforms with navy berets highlighted with red and white stripes. The marketing folks can only hope these berets go over as well as they did in 2002, when the U.S. team wore powder-blue berets at the Winter Olympics that became instant hits and quickly sold out at stores around Salt Lake City. The company said in a statement the outfits aim to embody “the spirit of American athleticism and sportsmanship.” Ralph Lauren also is dressing the Olympic and Paralympic teams for the closing ceremony and providing casual clothes to be worn around the Olympic Village. Nike has created many of the competition uniforms for the U.S. and outfits for the medal stand.

WADA chief: Cheats should withdraw before Games MONTREAL — The head of the World Anti-Doping Agency has a message for drug cheats: Withdraw from your Olympic teams and stay away from the London Games. WADA President John Fahey says athletes will face the most severe antidoping program in Olympic history and stand only a small chance of escaping detection. With less than three weeks until the opening ceremony, Fahey says “if you are a doping athlete and you are planning to compete in London then you must withdraw from your Olympic team.” He urged athletes to “collectively take more responsibility for the sake of clean competition.”

Agent: Bolt ‘feeling good’ LONDON — Usain Bolt’s agent says the three-time Olympic champion is back in full training and “feeling good.” Ricky Simms tells The Associated Press that the Jamaican sprinter is fit ahead of the defense of his titles in the 100, 200 and 4x100 at the London Games. The holder of the world record in both sprint distances, Bolt lost to Yohan Blake in the 100 and 200 at recent Jamaican Olympic trials. He had his right hamstring stretched out by a trainer after the 200. Bolt pulled out of the Monaco Diamond League meet on July 20 — his last race before the Olympics — with what his coach called “a slight problem.” Britain’s Daily Telegraph said on Tuesday that Bolt flew to Germany last week for treatment on a tight hamstring. — The Associated Press

SAO PAULO — More than ever, it will be all or nothing for Brazil’s soccer team at the London Olympics. Brazil has always been under pressure to win the gold medal, the only significant title it doesn’t have in soccer, but in London there will be a lot more at stake for the five-time world champions. Brazil will be one of the few teams with most of its top players, and failure in London will likely cost coach Mano Menezes his job ahead of the 2014 World Cup — which Brazil will host. There will be high expectations from everyone in the soccer-mad nation, including fans, local media and soccer officials. The Brazilian federation has already said winning gold is the priority and hinted that a disappointing result will inevitably prompt changes as Brazil enters the final stretch of its preparations for hosting the World Cup.

Most of the players on Brazil’s Olympic team will likely play in the World Cup, too, and the competition in London will give many of the promising young players a chance to prove their worth. “We know that our final evaluation ahead of the World Cup will be done during the Confederations Cup next year, when we will play with a team which won’t be restricted by the age limit,” Menezes said after announcing Brazil’s squad on Thursday. “But it’s obvious that we need to play well in the Olympics to reinforce the convictions that we have about the team so far.” Few teams will showcase their top players at the Olympics, which has an under-23 rule with only three players above that cutoff allowed per nation, but Brazil’s young squad will include names such as Neymar, Lucas, Alexandre Pato, Paulo Henrique Ganso, Oscar and Leandro Damiao. “We have a strong group, we are taking players who are regular starters for some top clubs today,” Menezes said. “A lot of the young players will get a chance to start earning a spot in the squad. Something that wasn’t certain before

can start becoming a reality for them during the Olympics.” Brazil’s overage players in London will be AC Milan defender Thiago Silva, Real Madrid left back Marcelo and FC Porto striker Hulk. Many in Brazil praised the squad picked by Menezes for the Olympics,

Bannister returns to historic site for honor

but there were critics, too. “I don’t agree with the players he selected,” said former Brazil striker Romario, now a congressman. “He should’ve called players who are more respected abroad. There are plenty of other over-23 players he could’ve selected.”

The Olympic Flame is passed between Sir Roger Bannister and Oxford doctoral student Nicola Byrom on Tuesday on the running track at Iffley Road Stadium in Oxford, England, the venue where he made history.

Felt right at home By BARBARA SURK Associated Press

OXFORD, England — Roger Bannister returned to the track where he broke the 4-minute barrier for the mile 58 years ago, walking slowly but smiling broadly as he carried the Olympic torch across the finish line Tuesday just 17 days before the start of the London Games. The 83-year-old Bannister walked 30 yards along the track, holding the Olympic torch aloft in his left hand as hundreds cheered for a man who is an embodiment of sporting achievement in Britain. “In a way, I’m back in the sport that I belong to,” he said. “I spent 10 years training before I broke the 4minute mile.” Bannister — who shattered an ankle in a car accident in 1975 and didn’t run again — put his walking cane aside and leaned on a young man to descend three stairs from the podium where the Olympic torch was lit to start the day’s relay. He walked down the track before handing the torch to an Oxford doctoral student Nicola Byrom, who ran a full lap wearing the white torchbearer uniform. Bannister declined to wear the uniform, fueling speculation that the Oxford-educated neurologist may put on the outfit to light the cauldron at the opening ceremony in London on July 27. Bannister is among those considered a candidate to light the cauldron. He refused to speculate, saying he was fully focused on Tuesday’s torch relay event. Bannister said he felt “right at home” on the track where he ran the mile in 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds on May 6, 1954. The Iffley Road track is now called the Roger Bannister track.

Britain’s Roger Bannister became the first runner to break the fourminute mile on May 6, 1954. He is a candidate to light the cauldron to open the 2012 Games.

“It’s an honor to be included in a list of torch carriers, which has included injured soldiers back from Afghanistan and other places,” Bannister said. The strong winds on a chilly, rainy Tuesday reminded him of that historic day when “the weather was so bad that I nearly decided not to attempt it.” “In retrospect, I’m glad because if I hadn’t attempted it that day I might not have had another chance,” Bannister said. Also in attendance Tuesday was Sebastian Coe, the former two-time Olympic 1,500-meter gold medalist and mile record-holder who chairs the organizing committee for the London Games. He called Bannister one of Britain’s “national treasures of sport.”

“Breaking the four-minute mile as a mark of athletic achievement is central in the history of our sport,” Coe said. “He paved the way for what we did in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.” Despite attending eight Olympics — one as an athlete and seven as a spectator — Bannister never won an Olympic medal. He finished fourth in the 1,500 meters at the 1952 Helsinki Games. Had Bannister won the Olympic gold in Helsinki, he probably would have retired and the first sub-4-minute mile would have been achieved by someone else. Instead, he competed for another two years and attacked the mile landmark. Bannister scheduled his attempt for May 6, 1954. The weather was miserable – rainy, cool and windy. He only decided to make the attempt when he saw the English flag from a neighboring church start to flutter more gently as the race time approached. He was paced by English runners Chris Brasher and Chris Chataway. Brasher ran the first lap in 58 seconds and the first half-mile in 1:58. Chataway moved to the front and took them through three laps in 3:01. Bannister had to run the final lap in 59 seconds and did. Bannister had a distinguished 40year medical career since retiring after the 1954 Empire Games. He was knighted in 1975. He was among number of sporting celebrities carrying the Olympic flame on Tuesday. At Henley-on-Thames, five-time Olympic rowing gold medalist Steve Redgrave carried the torch in his left and an oar in his right as he helped steer a boat to the Leander rowing club. “To have my hands on the torch is pretty special,” he said.

LONDON — It has been a tough few months at the pockmarked concrete high-rise known as Fred Wigg Tower. First there was the fire, which left dozens temporarily homeless. Then came the rash of burglaries of fire-damaged apartments. And now the British army will be putting a battery of high-velocity missiles on the roof. The defense ministry says the missiles, capable of shooting down a hijacked aircraft, are a key piece in the elaborate jigsaw of security for the London Olympics, which start July 27. But many residents of the east London public housing project were dismayed to find themselves suddenly on the counterterrorism front line. “It’s kind of scary now, to be honest,” said Iqbal Hossain, who lives in the building with his wife and three children aged 2 to 14. “If it’s about safety for the Olympics, what about safety for us? If there is a terrorist attack, the first thing they are going to attack is the missiles.” A High Court judge rejected that argument Tuesday, quashing a challenge by locals. Judge Charles Haddon-Cave said the missiles presented “no real threat” to residents and were a necessary part of Olympic security. The missiles will be installed within days on the 17-story tower, one of six sites around London where surface-toair missiles will be stationed as part of a vast security operation for games that run through Aug. 12. Rapier or smaller missiles also will be located atop another apartment building, at a reservoir and on farmland in east London, and along hillsides in the south of the city. It’s all part of a ring of steel protecting the games, which officials acknowledge are a tempting target for terrorists. The security operation includes 7,500 soldiers, thousands of police and 13,200 private security guards, as well as RAF fighter jets on standby at nearby air bases and a helicopter carrier moored on the River Thames. Defense Secretary Philip Hammond has said the precautions are intended to provide “both reassurance and a powerful deterrent.” Britain’s official terror threat level stands at substantial, the middle point on a five-point scale, indicating an attack is a strong possibility. Intelligence officials say there has been an expected increase in chatter among extremist groups ahead of the Olympics but they have uncovered no specific or credible threats to the games. Among many residents at Fred Wigg Tower, there’s a feeling of resignation. “I think they have to put (them) somewhere,” said Edita Younas, walking her children back from a nearby school. “But why does it have to be us?”

PRO GOLF

European (working) vacation for Texas club pro By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — What makes golf so appealing is that it can be played for a lifetime. And the dreams that go with it don’t expire easily, either. Such is the case of Tim Thelen. His name might not be familiar outside the PGA of America or southeast Texas. Thelen spent his career as a golf professional, working at a country club in College Station and a resort in New Ulm, and once giving lessons at a driving range that since has been replaced by a WalMart. He was good enough to play college golf at Houston Baptist — a Scottish kid named Colin Montgomerie was on his team — but he never made it through Q-school, and that was before there was an alternative like the Web.com Tour. Back then, there

wasn’t even a web. The one year he reached the final stage of Qschool, he was 38. And while there was a developmental tour and Thelen had conditional status, he also had a steady income and an 11-year-old son. Thelen won the Club Pro Championship twice and played in the PGA Championship nine times without ever making the cut. He played in 22 regular PGA Tour events, through his status as a club pro or Monday qualifying, and made four cuts and the grand sum of $78,742 over 15 years. But as he approached his 50th birthday, a conversation with the late club pro Bob Boyd changed everything. “He played on the European Senior Tour. This was late 2009 and he had been playing for five years, and he loved it over there,” Thelen said Tuesday morning from his home in Col-

lege Station. “It’s different over there. But it’s like I told my wife, there’s an opportunity to make money and we’ll see the world.” It has turned into so much more than he expected. Two weeks ago in Munich, with wife Lucinda on the bag, Thelen holed out with a 6-iron for an albatross on the par-5 opening hole in the Berenberg Bank Masters. On the back nine, with Bernhard Langer and Barry Lane among those chasing him down, Thelen closed with three birdies on the last four holes to win. Bags packed, hotel booked, they headed off to Switzerland for the Bad Ragaz PGA Seniors Open. This time, it was a pair of Ryder Cup captains — former world No. 1 Ian Woosnam and Mark James — applying the pressure. Thelen made two late birdies to thwart the charge and won again.

And so ended his six-week journey that began in Michigan for the Senior PGA Championship and took him to Spain, England, Holland, Germany, Switzerland and finally back home to Texas for two weeks. That allowed the 51-year-old Thelen time to reflect before heading back over to Turnberry for the Senior British Open. “I had a really good career as a club pro,” said Thelen, who resigned from The Falls when he earned his European Senior card. “Winning the Club Pro Championship twice, winning the National Assistant Pro Championship once ... I knew I could play. I didn’t know I could reach the level I have today. You always dream of playing on a tour, and I never lost focus. But as a golf pro, you have to find time to play and practice. “Every golf professional has that opportunity,” he said.

that enthusiasm. “I am thrilled to name Jason as our new head baseball coach,” he said in a press release. “His experience as a student-athlete here will be a tremendous asset to our baseball program. “His passion for the university and the game of baseball is unmatched and I am confident that

He took over the junior varsity in 2009 and also worked with the varsity team where he credits head coach Dan Digwood as a mentor.

In the summer, McManus was the Old Forge Junior Legion coach in 2008 before moving to the Senior program for 2009-11. He led the Old Forge Legion team to a 2010 playoff appearance. McManus lives in Larksville and is employed by RCN Corporation as a Development and Quality Specialist.

VILLIE-MORGON, France — The longtime problem of doping hit the Tour de France head-on when a French rider was arrested at his team hotel and suspended by his team Tuesday. Police made their move on the Tour’s first rest day in arresting Cofidis cyclist Remy Di Gregorio, with judicial officials saying two other people suspected of supplying the Frenchman with banned substances were also arrested — one along with the rider in Bourg-en-Bresse, and another in Marseille. The officials requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly as the investigation is ongoing. Cycling’s premier showcase event has long been dogged by doping scandals. Two-time winner Alberto Contador of Spain is sitting out this year to serve a doping ban from the 2010 race, while seven-time Tour champion Lance Armstrong has been charged with participating in a vast conspiracy by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. The American has declared his innocence and is asking a federal court to block USADA’s case. Di Gregorio’s arrest comes after an investigation that began last June and is led by the French police agency responsible for doping investigations, OCLAESP, and Marseille police. “(The police) have followed Remy’s actions for a good while,” Cofidis manager Yvon Sanquer said at a news conference. “If I had ever been aware or anyone else had been aware, Remy’s time with the team would have been over the very moment when we learned of it.” Sanquer, who took up his post two days before the start of the race, said he found out about the

BANS Continued from Page 1B

U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks had thrown out Armstrong’s initial 80-page complaint Monday, but invited him to submit a new one that was shorter, more to the point and less about his career and personal battles with anti-doping officials. Armstrong’s attorneys refiled a 25-page suit arguing that USADA violates athletes’ constitutional rights, that the agency doesn’t have the jurisdiction to bring the charges and that it may have violated federal law in its investigation. Armstrong wants the court to rule by Saturday, his deadline to either accept USADA’s charges and sanctions or send his case to arbitration. An Armstrong spokesman declined immediate comment on the USADA bans issued Tuesday. Under USADA rules, Moral, Marti and Ferrari had until Monday to challenge the allegations against them in arbitration or ask for a five-day extension. If they did not respond, USADA could impose sanctions. Although none lives in the U.S., USADA says the ban blocks them from participating in any sport that falls under the World Anti-Doping Agency code. “The respondents chose not to waste resources by moving forward with the arbitration process, which would only reveal what they already know to be the truth of their doping activity,” said Travis Tygart, chief executive of USADA. There’s been no indication from USADA that any of the three men – who each received the maximum punishment – is cooperating with investigators. Armstrong was granted his extension while he files his court case. Also charged and granted an extension was Armstrong’s former team manager, Johan

arrest from police just before the team went on a training ride in the morning. Sanquer said Di Gregorio’s Di Gregorio teammates reacted with a mix of “anger and devastation ... when I explained the situation to them, it was painful for them. There were tears.” The 26-year-old Di Gregorio was in 35th place after Monday’s ninth stage. The Marseille native turned pro in 2005 with French team Francaise des Jeux, and was once considered one of the most promising young French riders. When the investigation began, Di Gregorio was riding for Astana. He won one stage in the 2011 Paris-Nice race with the Kazahk team. This season, he has had one stage win, in the Spanish Tour of Asturias in April. Sanquer said he believed Di Gregorio, who recently became a father, “didn’t understand the breadth of what he was doing and the seriousness of what he could be doing” if the accusations turn out to be true. “Cycling is about beautiful moments, and there also very difficult ones. This is one,” Sanquer said. “There are other things — sickness, injury ... it’s part of a series of things that riders have to get through.” In the 2008 Tour de France, Cofidis pulled out of the race following Italian rider Cristian Moreni’s positive test for testosterone. In 2004, French police arrested then-Cofidis riders David Millar of Britain and Cedric Vasseur of France in another doping investigation involving the team and seized male hormones, EPO and amphetamines. Another former Cofidis rider, Phillipe Gaumont, accused several of his teammates and the team doctor at the time of widespread doping.

Bruyneel. Another team doctor, Pedro Celaya, also has been charged and faced the same Monday deadline. A USADA spokeswoman declined to say if Celaya asked for an extension or for his case to go to arbitration. USADA filed the charges against Armstrong and the others in June, laying out what it calls a vast doping conspiracy on Armstrong’s teams when he was winning the Tour de France from 1999-2005. Moral, who lives in Spain, was the team physician from 19992003. According to USADA, he helped riders use banned blood transfusion techniques to help boost endurance. He also helped them use banned performanceenhancing drugs including the blood-booster EPO and steroids. Moral could not immediately be reached for comment by telephone or email. Ferrari, who lives in Italy, was a consulting doctor for Armstrong and the U.S. Postal Service and Discovery Channel teams from 1999-2006, according to USADA. USADA said Ferrari developed a special mixture of testosterone and olive oil to be placed under the tongue to help riders recover from races and training. He also helped advised riders how to use EPO and avoid detection. Ferrari’s lawyer could not be immediately reached for comment and there was no answer at Ferrari’s home. The doctor already was banned for life by the Italian cycling federation in 2002. Marti, of Spain, who worked for the U.S. Postal Service, Discovery from 1999-2007 and then Astana, helped deliver performance-enhancing drugs to riders in Europe and helped with injections, USADA said. “Permanently banning these individuals from sport is a powerful statement that protects the current and next generation of athletes from their influence, and preserves the integrity of future competition,” Tygart said.

Heat wave: Lewis latest to sign on

MIAMI — Rashard Lewis has decided to join the Miami Heat, becoming yet another shooting option for the reigning NBA champions. Agent Tony Dutt said the free agent forward and the Heat agreed to terms on Tuesday, and Lewis is expected to sign his contract Wednesday in Miami. Lewis’ decision comes just four days after Ray Allen agreed to accept an offer from Miami. Allen and Lewis were Seattle teammates for five seasons, from 2003 through 2007 — and both figure to fit perfectly into Miami’s plan to surround LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh with even more shooters who can stretch defenses. Allen’s 2,718 made 3-pointers are the most in NBA history, and Lewis ranks fifth among active players with 1,690 makes from beyond the arc. Lewis will make the veteran minimum from Miami for this coming season, worth about $1.3 million. He’s picking up another $13.7 million because the final year of his most recent contract — a $118 million, six-year pact — was bought out earlier this offseason by New Orleans, who acquired the 6-foot-10 forward in a trade with Washington and then waived him. Allen and Lewis are both likely to be introduced by the Heat on Wednesday, once procedural matters like physicals and paperwork are completed. Teams may start signing their free agents when the league’s moratorium officially ends at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. Slowed by left knee problems this past season, Lewis averaged 7.8 points in 28 games for Washington. For his career, he’s averaged 16.1 points per game with Seattle, Orlando and Washington.

Jenkins signs with Hawks ATLANTA — John Jenkins and his jump shot made a good first impression with the Atlanta Hawks. Jenkins signed his rookie contract with the Hawks minutes before joining Tuesday’s opening of the team’s rookie camp. Coach Larry Drew was impressed. He says Jenkins is one of the best shooters he has seen “in quite some time.” Jenkins led the Southeastern Conference in scoring two straight years at Vanderbilt. The 6-foot-4 Jenkins can compete for substantial playing time or even a starting job at shooting guard after the Hawks traded All-Star Joe Johnson to the Brooklyn Nets for five players and a draft pick last week.

Source: Warriors trade Dorell Wright to 76ers OAKLAND, Calif. — A person familiar with the decision says the Golden State Warriors have agreed to trade starting small forward Dorell Wright to the Philadelphia 76ers for the rights to a player currently in Europe. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because teams can’t announce until the free agency moratorium ends Wednesday, said Golden State would receive a player the 76ers have playing in Europe. The move frees up about $4 million in salary cap space for Golden State, which drafted North Carolina small forward Harrison Barnes seventh overall two weeks ago. The Warriors now have about $8 million to spend before going into the luxury tax. Wright averaged 16.4 points in the 2010-11 season but slipped to 10.3 points under rookie coach Mark Jackson last season.

After winning Wimbledon in 2010, a series of health issues hampered Serena Williams’ career. Now she has a hectic schedule after earning another Wimbledon title last week before the Olympics.

No rest for Wimbledon winner By ANTONIO GONZALEZ AP Sports Writer

STANFORD, Calif. — Serena Williams has had little time to reflect on her first Grand Slam title in two years and even less time to sleep with a schedule she says is “probably the most hectic it has been in my career.” And it has only just begun. Three days removed from winning Wimbledon and less than three weeks away from returning to London to go for Olympic gold, a jet-lagged Williams was back on the court Tuesday — more than 5,000 miles and eight time zones away from the All England Club — in the serene setting at Stanford. “I don’t know really where I am right now,” she joked. The 14-time Grand Slam singles champion left London a day earlier, watched “at least five movies” on the flight — “The Hunger Games” was her favorite — because she couldn’t sleep and only rested a few hours before she showed up on Court 10 wearing a pink, long-sleeved shirt and black capris in front of

about a dozen spectators. Leaving London drizzle for Stanford sunshine wasn’t the only reason Williams returned. The Bank of the West Classic, where the top-seeded Williams will defend her title beginning Wednesday against NCAA champion Nicole Gibbs of Stanford, holds special meaning for Williams. The tournament is where her comeback took shape last year when she beat Marion Bartoli in the finals for her first WTA title victory since returning from blood clots in her lugs and two foot operations that threatened her life and career. “I really wanted to come here more than anything,” Williams said. “This is kind of where I felt like it began. Just getting on that plane and coming here to play is probably the best thing I could have done.” What a way to gear up for the Games. Not only did Williams win the singles title at Wimbledon, she also teamed with older sister

Venus to capture the doubles crown. The “super hectic schedule,” as Williams refers to it, isn’t slowing down either. The two will be back at the All England Club when Olympic competition begins July 28. Williams and Venus won gold in doubles in 2000 and 2008 and will go for a third again this year. She has never medaled in singles. A year ago at this time, even playing in the Olympics didn’t seem possible because of her health issues. Now she’s back and better than ever. “She’s proven herself to be a great champion,” Roddick said during a conference call Tuesday before a tournament in Atlanta. “She’s almost become a master of comebacks. I remember when, what, four or five years ago, she was below 100 in the world? People were wondering if that was it. She came back and dominated.”

NEWPORT, R.I. — Top seed and defending champion John Isner beat qualifier Sergei Bubka of the Ukraine 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-3 in an opening-round match at the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships on Tuesday. Isner, ranked 11th in the world entering the week and a U.S. Olympian, relied on his overpowering serve despite playing lethargically at times. Second-seeded Kei Nishikori, Japan’s top player and the highest ranked player ever from his country also won his opening match, defeating Igor Sijsling from The Netherlands 6-4, 6-4. Isner is slated to face Nicolas Mahut in a second round match. The pair met in the longest match in tennis history — 11 hours, 5 minutes before Isner’s 70-68 fifth-set victory in 2010 at Wimbledon. “We can’t avoid each other on grass,” Isner joked about his pairing against Mahut. “I should have won my first-round match at Wimbledon (last month) and we would have faced each other.” But Isner knows he has to play better to advance. He felt like he was having trouble with the grass surface most of the match. “I didn’t quite have my feet under me,” he said. “I wasn’t used to the court. That’s something that comes with playing matches.” After Bubka double-faulted in the eighth game, Isner closed it with a backhand winner, going up 5-3 in the set. He closed out the match with a hard serve that Bubka was barely able to get his racket on.

Retail’s odd couple into design

B R I E F

Tech, oil send stocks down

tocks fell for the fourth straight day Tuesday following a profit slump at S technology companies and a steep

decline in oil prices, which sent energy stocks sharply lower. Aluminum maker Alcoa was the biggest loser in the Dow Jones industrial average, giving up 4 percent after reporting a slump in revenue late Monday. Chip maker Advanced Micro Devices fell sharply after reporting that a slowdown in China and Europe led to an 11 percent drop in second-quarter revenue. Benchmark crude oil fell $2.08 to $83.91 a barrel in New York.

NEW YORK — They may make an odd couple, but discounter Target and luxury merchant Neiman Marcus are jointly offering a limited collection spanning from fashion to sporting goods for the winter holidays. More than 50 products from 24 designers, including Oscar de la Renta and Diane von Furstenberg, as well as younger designers such as Derek Lam, will be available at both stores and on their websites starting Dec. 1 until they sell out. Items in the collection will cost from More than 50 $7.99 to products $499.99, but from 24 demost will sell for less than signers, will $60. be available “We defi- at both nitely have our differenc- stores and on es,” Kathee their webTesija, Tar- sites. get’s executive vice president of merchandising, said of her company and Neiman Marcus. “They’re high end, and we’re mass appeal. But we both love design.” Target pioneered the idea of low-price chains teaming with designers to create limited-time, affordable versions. It made headlines last fall with the bungled launch of a lower-price collection from Missoni that was so intensely anticipated that Target’s website crashed for almost an entire day, angering customers and leading to order cancellations. But the partnership with Neiman Marcus is unprecedented. Target sells $25 dresses and generates almost half its revenue from staples like food and detergent, while Neiman Marcus has cultivated a reputation for expensive fashion, selling $1,000 shoes and $3,000 handbags. On Monday, state officials and Mericle Commercial Real Estate announced Neiman Marcus would occupy a new distribution center in Jenkins Township that would employ 151 within three years.

DWARDSVILLE – Work is continuing at the Kmart in the Mark Plaza with a goal of reopening just prior to the one-year anniversary of the September flooding that damaged the retailer and every other store in the shopping center. Three signs have been installed on the building, one for Kmart, another for the retailer’s Garden Center and another for Nathan’s Hot Dogs, which will replace Little Caesars Pizza as the store’s inhouse dining vendor. Kim Freely, a Kmart/Sears Holdings spokeswoman, said that won’t be the only change com-

U.S. employers advertised more jobs in May than April, a hopeful sign after three months of weak hiring. Job openings rose to a seasonally adjusted 3.6 million, the Labor Department said Tuesday. That’s up from 3.4 million in April. It’s also the secondhighest level in nearly four years, just behind March’s 3.7 million. A rise in openings could mean hiring will pick up in the coming months. It typically takes one to three months to fill a job.

GM will take returns

Chevrolet is trying to pull more customers into its dealerships this summer by offering a money-back guarantee on new cars and trucks. The General Motors brand said Tuesday that buyers can get refunds if they return their 2012 or 2013 vehicles for any reason. The guarantee lasts for up to 60 days from the date of purchase, and the offer ends Sept. 4. Returned vehicles can’t have more than 4,000 miles on them and they can’t be damaged.

SAN DIEGO — Negotiators from the United States and eight other Pacific Rim countries concluded a round of talks Tuesday on one of the most ambitious trade agreements in decades, as pressure mounted on Japan to decide if it wants to join Mexico and Canada as the newest members of the pact. The administration of President Barack Obama notified Congress this week that Mexico and Canada were joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership, triggering a 90-day waiting period before those two countries can enter talks later this year. Japan expressed interest last year in joining the pan-Pacific pact, which

ing to the store. An expanded pantry section, new pet section and wider aisles will greet shoppers when the store opens at the end of August. Many of the store’s employees were given the opportunity to work at other Kmart stores in the region and they will be offered the chance to come back to the Edwardsville store. New positions will also be filled, though Freely could not say how many the store will employ. She said jobs will be listed on www.searsholdings.com/careers. Freely said Kmart suffered extensive loss of product and significant interior damage as water topped the flood doors

that have protected the structure in the past. Kmart’s flood gate could protect it from a 34-foot river crest, but the doors were no match for September’s record 42.66 foot crest of the Susquehanna River. Officials of the center’s other anchor store, Redner’s Warehouse Market, have said they will not return. No other businesses in the center, which is owned by Arcadia Realty, had erected signs as of Tuesday and no other stores that once occupied the plaza, including Dollar General, That Bounce Place and Payless Shoes have reopened. The Long John Silver’s restaurant, in the plaza’s parking lot, has reopened.

would slash import tariffs on a wide range of goods and services. But it was unclear if Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has enough domestic support to make the move. “We are all awaiting information from Japan as to whether it has made a decision,” Barbara Weisel, chief U.S. negotiator, said at a news conference as the 13th round of talks ended in San Diego. The pact promises to sharply increase trade in the Pacific Rim, with the notable exception of China. It has met stiff opposition in the U.S. Congress, largely from Democrats and allies of organized labor who complain the talks have been shrouded in secrecy. Along with the U.S., the talks now in-

Negotiators made significant progress in San Diego in areas including telecommunications, government procurement and competition policy, Weisel said.

With all the talk lately of having the warmest 12 month period on record across the U.S. and the hundreds of record-breaking high temperatures with drought and wild ﬁres, I still wonder just how much mankind is causing. I’ll admit that our greenhouse gas emissions and increasing acreage of asphalt are partly to blame for our recent climate change, but I must confess to believing that there are long term natural cycles of global weather patterns at work that bring on one extreme to another, cycles that have intervals of hundreds of years.

Orange adds zest to mousse MY CHOCOLATE orange mousse is sure to bring a smile to the faces of you and your guests. It’s a classic dessert with a

By MONICA ENG

Chicago Tribune

t’s farmers-market time again, a time of rebirth and renewal for local agriculture but also resolutions for smarter shopping and

cooking. • No more aspirational farmers-market shopping sprees that leave us with a kitchen full of wilted arugula, moldy berries and severe guilt by week’s end. No, this year we resolve to plan ahead, shop smart and embrace the realities of our busy schedules — while still making an impressive array of spectacular meals from the finest local produce, of course. And just how will we pull this off? With the help of authors and farmers-market veterans who, here, offer expert advice on how to make the most of fresh-produce shopping. These authors include Laura C. Martin (“The Green Market Baking Book”), Janine MacLa-

chlan (“Farmers Markets of the Heartland”) and Anna Blessing (“Locally Grown: Portraits of Artisanal Farmers in America’s Heartland”). We’ve combined their paraphrased tips with some of our own to prepare a heaping See MARKET, Page 4C

modern twist. While chocolate alone is a very desirable ingredient for desserts, it is rarely paired with the sweet citrus flavor that fresh orange juice provides. Like many of my recipes, this one follows my pattern of blending contrasting flavors to create a new taste your whole palate can enjoy. The smooth, velvety texture brings this dessert to life. Both milk chocolate and semisweet work equally as well, so you may use your personal favorite. You also can have fun plating the mousse by using a variety of serving vessels or stemmed glassware. Garnishing with the whipped cream and orange zest makes sure it not only tastes good but looks elegant as well. If you would rather sit back, relax and enjoy this dessert, we’ll do the cooking for you. We will offer Chocolate Orange Mousse at Vanderlyn’s Restaurant beginning today through the weekend. For reservations or additional features call Vanderlyn’s at 283-6260. Our website is www.vanderlyns.com.

Chocolate Orange Mousse Ingredients 2 eggs, beaten 2 egg yolks, beaten 1 cup heavy cream 1 ⁄4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 3 tablespoons orange juice 6 ounces milk or semi-sweet chocolate, broken into 1-inch pieces to be melted 2 ounces whipped cream, for garnish Orange zest, for garnish. Method of preparation 1. Melt the chocolate by placing in double boiler, or in a stainless-steel bowl over a pot of simmering water. 2. Stir chocolate often until it is smooth and thoroughly melted. 3. In a saucepan, combine heavy cream, brown sugar and orange juice. Heat until sugar dissolves. 4. Combine yolks and eggs in stainless-steel bowl; slowly add cream mixture to egg mixture. (This is called tempering.) When you have added 75 percent of the cream mixture to egg mixture, return everything to saucepan and cook over medium to low heat while constantly stirring until mixture thickens and reaches 160 F degrees on an instant-read thermometer. 5. Remove from heat and stir in melted chocolate until well-blended. Pour into dessert dishes or any stemmed glass and refrigerate for at least two hours. When serving; add whipped cream and orange zest, as garnish. (Zest is the outside covering of any citrus fruit.)

er and combine with citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges) and a handful of barely crushed berries if you have them. Chill and serve as a spritzer with half sparkling water. Or perhaps the more traditional red sangria is your go-to summer beverage. Start with fruity red wine and combine with lemon, lime and orange slices. Serve as a spritzer by mixing in lemon-lime soda, or sweeten with your own simple syrup (half sugar, half water, heated to melt sugar) and add to wine with sparkling water. Lovely. Picnic time: Make a salsa verde potato salad by boiling Yukon golds until tender, then cube and toss them with red onion, bell pepper, salsa verde, chopped avocado and salt to taste. Top with chopped fresh cilantro and cotija cheese. Think pasta and combine with fresh vegetables. Add chopped tomatoes and onion slices with a garlicky vinai-

grette. Thinly slice zucchini lengthwise into ribbons using a mandolin or grater. If adding any other vegetables to the pasta, such as snap peas, blanch them for a minute or two in the pasta water. Serve with grated Parmesan. Or maybe it’s a Greek pasta salad that gets your attention: Cook orzo, the rice-shaped pasta. Sauté chopped zucchini, yellow squash and green onions. Toss with the cooked orzo and add chopped cherry tomatoes, parsley, dill, goat cheese, salt and pepper. Drizzle a little vinaigrette in the salad to finish it off. If you like, place the salad atop baby greens. Not just for the kids: Make your own frozen treats by combining vanilla ice cream or plain yogurt with berries (strawberries would need to be cut up and sweetened). Put them into molds or other containers such as paper cups, and freeze. Add sticks for handles when partially frozen. Roast red, yellow and orange peppers over the grill or under the broiler by heating them until the skin blisters and becomes dark all over. Place the peppers in a paper bag or cov-

ered dish to let the skin “sweat” off. Rinse under cold water and brush off the blistered skin. Use the roasted peppers in salads, with pasta or on a vegetable platter. Add a poached egg to just about any pile of steamed vegetables. It’s especially good atop haricot verts (the skinny green beans) or cooked greens. For green beans, steam or boil them and cool in ice water; pat dry. Then toss with a vinaigrette. Top with the egg. Mustard dill sauce for seafood: Whisk together 6 tablespoons Dijon mustard and ¼ cup chopped fresh dill with 2 tablespoons sugar, ¼ cup fresh lemon juice or red wine vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Add fresh herbs to any homemade vinaigrette. Start with a 2:1 proportion of olive oil to acid (such as vinegar or juices). Then experiment to find your preference for best ratio for a dressing. Add a mashed garlic clove and a little Dijon mustard. Whisk together with salt and freshly cracked pepper and your favorite herb. Looking for no-cook options?

mandolin or grater and spread out on a platter, covering it completely. Drizzle olive oil over zucchini, along with a little lemon juice. Top with finely grated Parmesan, a little salt and chopped fresh mint. Beet salad your style? Thinly slice beets and cut into matchsticks (wear rubber gloves to prevent staining). Add thin red onion slices and chopped flatleaf parsley. Toss with an orange juice vinaigrette (2:1 olive oil to OJ) and let sit about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle a little more vinaigrette. Make breakfast parfaits by layering plain yogurt with berries or pitted cherries and granola. What a way to start the morning. Take advantage of the fleeting cherry season by puréeing pitted cherries with hibiscus tea,

dish. This is homemade salsa time as tomatoes begin to ripen. Seed tomatoes and chop them. Combine with onion, serrano or jalapeño peppers, a little lime juice and salt. Add chopped cilantro if you like it. Or use diced zucchini and cucumbers as the base with just a little tomato. Add a little vinegar and olive oil and a handful of chopped chives. Make curried onion chutney to serve with grilled vegetables or sesame or rice crackers: Sauté 3 chopped sweet onions with 2 or 3 minced garlic cloves in 1 tablespoon oil for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool and put onions in blender with 2 tablespoons sesame oil, leaving some chunks. Serve at room temperature.

sweetened with sugar. Serve over ice. Add fresh mint to lemonade, homemade or prepared. Or add sliced strawberries. To make your own lemonade, use about 2 cups fresh lemon juice with a simple syrup to taste (half water/half sugar, heated until the sugar melts; cool before adding to the lemonade). Add water until it’s the right tartness. Grill your favorite vegetables on skewers (soak skewers for 30 minutes beforehand if they are wooden). For even heating, place like vegetables on a single skewer or make all vegetable pieces roughly the same size. A nice combo: bell pepper chunks, yellow summer squash or zucchini, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, onions. Toss cooked snap peas with pesto, salt and freshly cracked black pepper for a tasty side

MARKET Continued from Page 1C

bushel of advice for your best farmers-market shopping and cooking season EVER. Strategic marketing Some advice may seem contradictory (such as make a list versus be inspired) but you’ll know which tips to follow based on your priorities. • When you arrive at the market get yourself a cup of coffee and take a leisurely trip around to survey the offerings before you start buying. • Be flexible. Instead of making a shopping list, wait and buy what looks the best and freshest. • Think realistically about how much time you will have to cook in the coming week. • Take your recipes (or cookbook!) with you so as things catch your eye, you can determine how best to use them. • Talk to the farmers about produce to learn how to store it, which parts are edible and how long it will stay fresh. • Don’t overbuy. It’s easy to get carried away when you’re surrounded by such wonderful

produce but only buy what you think you’ll be able to use. • Arrive early for the best selection and freshest products. Or arrive late for last-minute deals on the produce farmers want to move before heading home. Ask to see the “seconds,” or imperfect, bruised produce. These less-than-perfect items are great for saving money and using in pies, sauces or jams. • Before you leave home for the market, put out all the bowls, colanders, cutting boards and salad spinners you’ll need to wash and prep your purchases. Once you return home, put on some music and have a produceprepping party. You’re much more likely to use the produce if it’s prepped to eat and cook. • Avoid waste (and sometimes fees) by bringing your own bags; don’t forget insulated bags for meat and dairy. Tote your reusable plastic take-out or yogurt containers to protect berries and other delicates in your bag. • Scope out which farmers take checks and credit cards before you spend all of your cash. • Bring small bills and correct change for easier transactions. • Don’t dismiss a farmer for not having an organic certification. Some follow organic practices but opt to avoid the paper-

work involved. Others — such as some tree-fruit farmers — deal with climate and bug issues that make pesticide-free farming extremely difficult. If this is an issue of concern, talk to the farmers about it. If they don’t want to talk about it, it’s not a good sign. • Attend chef demos that many markets host or ask friendly chefs on site for cooking tips. • If you are buying meat or dairy, ask the vendor to hold it until you are ready to go so it can stay cool for as long as possible.

• Each week explore a new area of produce to see which varieties/farms you like best. Put together a sampling of melons, tomatoes, peppers, squashes etc., then come back for your favorite. • If a certain item is just at the beginning or tail end of its season, it will be more expensive. Those on a budget are best off buying it when it’s at its peak and prices come down. • Consider visiting a few area markets each season. Selection and prices can vary.
