PITTSBURGH — State officials are opening thousands of acres of public land around streams and lakes to Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling, partly to provide revenue for crucial repairs to dams. Water from state-owned lakes will also be sold to drilling companies for hydro-fracturing, or fracking, a process that injects chemicallaced water to break up the shale and allow natural gas to escape. “We’ve come to the conclusion that it would be irresponsible not to lease,” said John Arway, executive director of the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission.

Change orders approved for Dallas’ new high school By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – The Dallas School Board approved seven change orders to the high school construction project Monday and discussed the details of the new building set to open in mid-September. The change orders totaled $26,528, according to Bob Nesbit of Crabtree Rohrbaugh and Associates. During his construction update, he said the project is two weeks behind schedule but said there is no doubt the building will be finished on time for the first day of classes. So far the board has approved $888,317 in change orders during the two-year construction period, and Nesbit said the board will not know how much of that amount it will get back until after the project is completed. Nesbit said there are several issues that need to be addressed in the new building before the company can turn it over to the district. Superintendent Frank Galicki

Warrior Run OKs burn ban By SUSAN DENNEY Times Leader Correspondent

WARRIOR RUN --The Warrior Run Borough Council passed unanimously a burn ordinance that prohibits open burning in the borough with four specified exceptions on Monday. Exceptions to the burn ban include recreational fires or campfires, fires in authorized containers used solely for food preparation or warmth, open fires set in the official duty of a police office, and fires set in the normal operations of farming activities. In other provisions of the ordinance, the type of materials burned is also restricted. Under the new ordinance the hours for recreational fires are limited to between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. with no additional fuel added after midnight. In other business, borough Solicitor James Pyrah addressed a problem brought up by resident Joan Ellis concerning domestic animals being allowed to run free in the borough. He cited an ordinance passed in 1994 which allows a police officer to capture the animal and fine the owner. He said the problem would be identifying the owners of the problem animals. He also said that the Luzerne County Animal Control Center would not respond to calls about domestic cats. He did say that the SPCA would come out to pick up stray cats if time and resources allowed. He also said that the SPCA would rent a trap to a resident for $75 and would take care of an animal once it had been captured.

said there have been issues concerning trespassers near the old high school demolition area. He said the area is extremely dangerous and there should be better signage to deter “visitors in the evening” from coming near the site. Buildings and grounds manager Mark Kraynak said there are some pieces of the building that are “hanging by a thread” and Galicki said there are liability is-

sues involved with potential injuries on the site. Business Manager Grant Palfey said cameras will be installed near the site to monitor the area. “The police have been notified and will patrol the area regularly to ensure no trespassing,” said Galicki. In other news, the board passed a resolution in a 7-1vote to continue paying for students’ Advanced Placement testing. The

2 ex-union bosses face prosecution One of the accused is a former local union president. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

Two former union officials – one of them from West Pittston – are facing federal embezzlement and theft charges, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced on Monday. According to U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith, a felony criminal information was filed last week charging Ernest Milewski, 61, of West Pittston, with theft of labor First reported at union assets and 1:21 theft from a health care benefit prop.m. timesleader.com gram. Milewski, while serving as president of the United Food and Commercial Workers Northeastern District Council from 1996 until May of 2008, is alleged to have embezzled funds by writing unauthorized union checks to himself, receiving unauthorized expense reimbursements, and by double billing the International and District Council. Milewski is also alleged to have embezzled money from a fund set up by the union to assist in the payment of medical and health related costs of its members. It is alleged that Milewski embezzled more than $200,000. The charges stem from an investigation conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Labor-Management Standards; the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General, Office of Labor Racketeering and Fraud Investigations, and the U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration. If convicted, Milewski could be imprisoned for a total combined statutory maximum sentence of up to 15 years and a fine in the amount of $260,000. Prosecution of Milewski has been assigned to Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd K. Hinkley. Neither Milewski nor a local union representative could be reached for comment. In a separate case, Smith said Brandon S. Borders, 47, of Harrisburg, was indicted on June 22, 2011by a federal grand jury sitting in Harrisburg, charging him with embezzling funds of the United Transportation Union (UTU) Local 997, Camp Hill. The indictment was unsealed last week, following the arrest of Borders. According to the indictment, from the end of 2005 through August 2009, Borders was the Secretary-Treasurer of the UTU Local 997, a labor organization that represents members employed by Norfolk Southern Corp., an employer engaged in the railroad industry. It is alleged that Borders embezzled about $12,500. The charges stem from an investigation conducted by the union and the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of LaborManagement Standards. If convicted of the offense, Borders faces up to five years in prison and fines of $10,000. Prosecution of Borders has been assigned to Assistant U.S. Attorney James T. Clancy. Smith said labor union officers have a fiduciary duty to the workers they represent.

LOCAL County removes 5 kids A mother left her children and then returned home drunk, police say. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

AVOCA – Five children were removed from a residence on Costello Circle after, police allege, their mother left them unsupervised to patronize a tavern. Police said the five children were discovered after a 6-year-old boy left the house and walked several blocks to a residence on Main Street where he was asking for his mother. Police said they arrested Amy Williams, 36, when she returned to her residence intoxicated. Williams was arraigned Monday by District Judge David Barilla in Swoyersville on five counts of endangering the welfare of children, and one count each of driving under the influence and disorderly con-

duct. She was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $50,000 bail. According to the criminal complaint: A man residing on Main Street called poWilliams lice after a 6-year-old boy was knocking on his rear door asking for his mother on Sunday. Police were aware of the boy from a previous incident involving his mother on Costello Circle. When police arrived at the house on Costello Circle, they found five children were unsupervised. A neighbor found the mother, identified in the criminal complaint as Williams, at a tavern. Police said in the criminal complaint Williams returned to her residence intoxicated.

Williams yelled profanities at officers when she was arrested. She was placed in the rear seat of a cruiser and kicked a window, police said. Police transported Williams to WilkesBarre General Hospital where she refused to submit to a blood-alcohol test, the criminal complaint says. Police said a 16-year-old girl inside the residence was not fit to watch the children. The interior of the house had a large amount of feces and an odor of urine, and there was no food inside the refrigerator, police said. The children were removed from the residence by Luzerne County Children and Youth Services. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on July 20 before District Judge Fred Pierantoni III in Pittston.

Vet grateful for flood help

James Jones is grateful to township officials, the American Red Cross and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for making sure he will have access to his medications and food to eat after flash flooding wiped out his driveway and destroyed his freezer. A disabled veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard, Jones, 56, said he has medication for heart and other ailments delivered by parcel service. Jones said a township worker began a temporary fix on Sunday and finished grading work where his driveway meets Curry Hill Road on Monday, so the parcel driver will be able to deliver his medications. Township Supervisor Gale Conrad said public works employees have been “working around the clock” to restore access to stranded residents. She said all flood debris should be placed curbside by tonight, as final pickup will be on Wednesday. WILKES-BARRE

Oriented to serve community Wilkes program integrates incoming freshmen into new lives in NEPA.

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

ASHLEY – The perspiration soaked through their shirts as more than a dozen incoming Wilkes University freshmen pulled weeds, painted a fence and cleared brush from the former Huber Breaker site along the borough’s Main Street. The students weren’t spending two hours in the heat for course credit. They weren’t getting brownie points with their adviser. And they weren’t doing it for the Vitamin D they were surely soaking up from Monday’s unrelenting sun. The session was part of the students’ orientation, a tradition at Wilkes to help integrate new students with their new community.

More than 260 incoming freshmen were dispersed throughout the region Monday – separated by major – to participate in more than 20 community programs. Some volunteered at local senior citizen centers, others were packing boxes of food for low-income residents at the Weinberg Food Bank and a few were cleaning debris in Forty Fort.

on the site. The Huber, built in 1939 and operational through the mid-1970s, stands as the last of its kind. Clarke said 15 volunteers spent countless hours cleaning up the property, clearing brush and weeds and planning for the day they believe the Vermont granite monument can be erected. “It’s a tremendous help,” Clarke said. Without the students – another group from Wilkes was at the site two weeks ago -- he said work would be getting done, but nowhere near as much or as fast. Painting the fence that separates South Main Street from the breaker property was a group that included Ryan Murphy and Tom Bedford, both recent Lake-Lehman High School graduates who will start their college

ensure she understood what she was doing and the ramifications. When sentenced on Sept. 16, Werkheiser faces 20 to 40 years in prison. The details of her mentally ill plea were not discussed Monday, but could become made known when Werkheiser is sentenced. William Ruzzo, Werkheiser’s attorney, said his client suffers from a mental disorder, determined by two local psychologists. Assistant District Attorneys Molly Hanlon Mirabito and Michelle Hardik said they did not object to Werkheiser’s mentally ill plea, and they accept what the psychologists had to say in reports about Werkheiser. It is unknown if Werkheiser will receive special consideration, including housing at a mental health facility, as part of her guilty plea and sentencing. Werkheiser had previously been deemed incompetent to stand trial. Her

mental health status was reviewed on a regular basis, and in October the Norristown State Hospital said Werkheiser is able to work with her attorneys and proceed with her case. Werkheiser had been charged with the shooting death of her husband sometime between July 23 and July 29, 2007. Investigators allege that Werkheiser shot her husband , Charles Werkheiser, 53, once in the head while he was sleeping because she suspected he was having an affair. Hardik said Monday when police went to the Werkheiser home on July 29, they observed a strong odor and flies and blood in Werkheiser’s hair. Charles Werkheiser was found lying in a bed covered with a blanket and a gunshot wound to the right side of his head. Police say Werkheiser also shot herself in the head with a .22-caliber handgun while in the home. A neighbor notified

W-B Area studies parental stipend Sugar Notch cops

Selected parents would get grant money to improve coordination. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The Wilkes-Barre Area School Board is mulling the idea of paying one parent at each of eight schools $500 a year to work on boosting parental involvement in the schools. The money would come from a federal grant and target a fuzzy mandate from the federal law known as “No Child Left Behind.” District Coordinator for Federal Programs Michelle Williams made the suggestion at Monday’s work session. She said the district receives $25,000 that is to be used expressly to increase parental involvement in schools, and that numerous efforts have failed to bring the number up, something the law requires without quantifying how high “up” is enough, Superintendent Jeff Namey said. Williams said the money would go to a parent chosen by the district who is available on

weekends, is a good communicator and is motivated to deal with other parents. Another $1,000 would go to a parent who would be a liaison between parents and the district. All told, that means $5,000 of the grant would be spent on such stipends. “This is something that has worked at other districts,” Williams said. The board took no action. It could consider the request at Wednesday’s regular meeting. The board also heard an update on repairs at Meyers High School from Gary Salijko, project manager for construction management company Apollo Group, Inc., who said roof and parapet repairs are about 97 percent complete. But Salijko added that efforts to locate the source of a water leak in the school are ongoing. Salijko said a survey was done by DRC, Inc., to locate the leak. The company suggested three possible sources: a faulty water meter, a building leak feeding directly into a drain, or an old supply line under the stadium field that has failed. Salijko said DRC recommended replacing the meter because it is old and, even if it is not the leak

Hazle Twp. discusses Drifton property By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

HAZLE TWP. -- The ownership of property in Drifton was a topic of discussion at Monday night’s Hazle Township Board of Supervisors meeting. The piece of property contains a softball complex and is used for various recreational activities. Resident Henry Rokavich requested council look into this matter, so any safety or recreational concerns could be addressed. Council indicated that the land had formerly been owned by Pagnotti Enterprises, but that ASA Softball is now thought to own the property. Supervisor Francis

"Butchie" Boyarski stated the city engineer would look into the matter and report back to council In another matter, it was noted that Keystone Opportunity Zone properties would lose their tax exempt status within the next year and this would result in increased revenue for the township in excess of $50,000 per year. Council noted the revenue would be utilized to ease the township’s budget, which has been stretched due to recent economic challenges. “As a board of supervisors,” said Boyarski, “our goal is to simply serve and to use tax dollars for the benefit of our township residents.”

nab alleged robber While fueling up cruisers, men are alerted to incident, then chase and capture man.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Sugar Notch Police Chief Chris Pelcher and two of his officers, Joe McGlynn and James Gist, were in the right place at the right time in another jurisdiction when they chased and captured an alleged robber on Sunday. Pelcher said they were about to leave the Turkey Hill on Hazle Avenue in Wilkes-Barre after fueling their cruisers when they were alerted to a robbery across the street at Hazle Beer and Deli. Pelcher said he looked at the deli, saw a smashed window and a man running out a door being chased by two men. “We drove our cruisers out of

Sister M. Coleman Nee, former Marywood president, will be buried She is credited with allowing men to earn undergraduate degrees through the school. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – The burial today of Sister M. Coleman Nee in St. Catherine’s Cemetery in Moscow closes the door on the life of a religious woman who opened the paths to higher education for thousands. President of Marywood University from 1970-88, Sister Coleman is credited with launching the university’s “Gillet School” in 1981,

allowing men for the first time to earn undergraduate degrees through Marywood. Coleman, who died SaturNee day in Scranton at age 93, also worked to balance the school’s budget while setting up an endowment fund to stabilize income. And she coped with a devastating fire in February 1971 that destroyed the Motherhouse of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the religious order that established the Roman Catholic

school in 1915. “They say she sat on a chair outside, to see to the students and calm everything,” said Sister Michel Keenan, who knew Sister Coleman from her earliest days studying to join the religious order in the 1940s. Though Sister Keenan worked at Marywood at the time of the fire, she was away when the flames broke out. “She had a good sense of humor but was always a straight shooter,” recalled Michael Foley, dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences at Marywood. “She was honest and direct, and I found her engaging.” Foley recounted his early days

at the school in 1974, when Sister Coleman took over an office he occupied. “I said something to the effect of ‘Sister, I guess I’ll leave because it’s you,’ and she said, ‘Well, that’s very kind of you.’ As if I had a choice.” Coleman is credited with creating a centralized academic computer system, adding 11 undergraduate and six graduate programs and overseeing major expansions, including the $2.4 million Visual Arts Center. Keenan said that Coleman was always open to new ideas proposed by her administrators. In a statement posted on the Marywood website, current Presi-

dent Sister Anne Munley said Sister Coleman’s “steadfast spirit in the face of challenges helped Marywood stand above the rest.” Noting Coleman endured debilitating problems that made it painful to walk, Keenan said “She bore her suffering very bravely and it didn’t deter her great Irish wit or her devotion to community life.’’ Foley said that, after Coleman’s retirement, she taught math at what was then Bishop Hannan High School, a return to her first job in education.

the parking lot, followed him to Luzerne and McLean streets and saw him get into a black car and we West boxed him in,” Pelcher said. It turned out the man Sugar Notch police officers were chasing allegedly had robbed the deli. Robert Lee West, 25, of Andover Street, Wilkes-Barre, was arraigned Monday by District Judge David Barilla in Swoyersville on charges of robbery, theft, receiving stolen property, criminal mischief and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $50,000 bail. According to the criminal complaint filed by city police: West entered the deli just before 5:30 p.m. and placed a bag of potato chips on the counter. He allegedly grabbed money when a female clerk opened the cash register. The female clerk struggled with West, resulting in a window being smashed. West fled the store and was chased by two male employees. A witness ran across the street to alert Pelcher and his two officers about the alleged robbery. Police allege the vehicle West was operating was reported stolen by his sister. West was found to be in possession of a syringe, an empty heroin packet and a pipe, the criminal complaint says. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on July 20 in Wilkes-Barre Central Court. Edward Lewis, a Times Leader staff writer, may be reached at 829-7196.

Republican Jeff Stone has asked fellow members of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors to support a motion to bring together officials from the 13 counties to discuss the idea. A vote is scheduled for today. Stone says California is too big to govern, which has led the state to raid local government coffers because of runaway spending. RIO DE JANEIRO

Tour operator investigated Brazil is investigating allegations that an American fishing tour operator was using expeditions in the Amazon to cover up the sexual exploitation of underage indigenous girls, the country’s minister for women’s rights said Monday. “The country cannot stand idly by before allegations of this sort,” Iriny Lopes told the Associated Press. She said she was meeting with the minister for human rights, Maria do Rosario Nunes, and seeking information from investigators and prosecutors on the case to decide whether to establish a commission to look into the matter. The case hinges on allegations made by four Brazilian women against American Richard Schair, the former operator of a fishing tour company called Wet-a-line, which sold trips on the Amazon.

Chavez upbeat on health Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez turned to philosophy and Twitter to describe his efforts to beat cancer on Monday, summoning the words of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. “I find myself before my highest mountain and my longest walk,” Chavez said in a message posted on his Twitter account. “That’s how Zarathustra spoke!” That quoted a passage from Nietzsche’s treatise “Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None.” Nietzsche’s book focuses on a prophet who reflects on his life as he descends from a mountain retreat and returns to mix with mankind. Chavez occasionally quotes the German philosopher in his speeches. Chavez’s government also said Monday that the president is recovering quickly after undergoing surgery last month that removed a cancerous tumor.

U.S. concerned over Iranian weapon use Defense Secretary threatens action against Iraq for killing Americans. By ROBERT BURNS AP National Security Writer

BAGHDAD — A blunt and frustrated U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta expressed exasperation Monday with Iraqi indecision on whether it wants U.S. troops to stay next year. He threatened stronger U.S. action to stop Iranian-supplied weapons from killing Americans as they prepare to depart. To reinforce the message of concern about Iran, the U.S. military gave reporters a rare look at samples of what they described as improvised rockets and other devices that have been used to target Americans in Baghdad. Iranian influence in Iraq is a key issue — diplomatically as well as militarily — for Washington as it prepares to pull out its remaining 46,000

troops. Before meeting with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and President Jalal Talabani to push for a decision on a post-2011 U.S. troop presence, Panetta told American soldiers that the Iraqis need to act swiftly on two matters critical to their fu-

ture security: naming a defense minister and deciding whether Iraqi forces need U.S. help longer than originally planned. “Damn it, make a decision,” Panetta said, adding that while Washington is getting frustrated it also recognizes that Iraq’s democracy is in its infancy. On his first visit to Iraq since succeeding Robert Gates as Pentagon chief July1, Panetta flashed a more candid, unconventional style than his predecessor. His language was more colorful, too, sprinkling in a few curse words as he gave troops a pep talk and fielded their questions about U.S. policy. As he has on every stop on his first overseas trip, which began last Friday, Panetta made prominent note Monday of his role as CIA director in putting together the plan that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in May. He referred to the former al-Qaida leader as “that son of a bitch.”

ISLAMABAD — The decision to suspend more than one-third of American military aid to Pakistan could end up hurting Washington more than Islamabad as the U.S. seeks to navigate an end to the Afghan war and defeat alQaida, former Pakistani officials and analysts warned Monday. Holding back the $800 million in aid is unlikely to pressure Pakistan to increase cooperation with the “CooperU.S. and could ation canstrengthen those in the not be cogovernment erced by who argue that Washington is a punitive fickle ally who actions.” can’t be trustMaleeha Lodhi ed, they said. Former Pakistani “If you still ambassador to need the relathe U.S. tionship, which clearly the United States does, then it really doesn’t make sense to take action at this time because it leaves the United States with less, not more, influence with the Pakistani military,” said Maleeha Lodhi, a former Pakistani ambassador to the U.S. “Cooperation cannot be coerced by punitive actions.” Despite billions of dollars in American aid since the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, the relationship has long been tense because of Pakistan’s reluctance to target Taliban militants on its territory who stage cross-border attacks against NATO troops in Afghanistan. The relationship took a nose dive on May 2 when U.S. commandos staged a covert raid to kill al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden in a Pakistani garrison town not far from Islamabad. The raid humiliated the Pakistani military, which ordered U.S. trainers out of the country and reduced bilateral cooperation. The lack of trainers means that planned U.S. equipment cannot be put into service, which reduces some of the needed aid. Also, about $300 million from the trimmed aid was intended to reimburse Pakistan for the cost of deploying troops along the Afghan border. But U.S. officials claim that Pakistan has not lived up to pledges to uproot and disrupt Taliban militants and suspected al-Qaida factions in the border region. President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, William Daley, said Sunday that the U.S. was suspending $800 million in aid to the Pakistani military until the two countries can patch up their relationship. But Tariq Fatemi, another former Pakistani ambassador to the U.S., said he thought the American strategy to pressure Pakistan was destined for failure.

Heat wave hits South and Midwest Heat advisories issued for 17 states as 100-plus temperatures hit U.S. By JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press

DALLAS — The temperature setting is stuck on broil across a swath of the Midwest and South, with Dallas and Oklahoma City sweltering through 100-degree heat for at least 10 days in a row. Forecasters warned on Monday that the extreme heat could continue for most of the week and perhaps beyond. At the same time, many people won’t

be able to cool off by taking a dip: Swimming pools in some cities have closed because of budget cuts. Heat advisories and excessive-heat warnings were issued Monday for 17 states in the Midwest and South. For today, the National Weather Service issued heat advisories for much of the East Coast, from Georgia to Connecticut, where temperatures are expected in the upper 90s but will feel as hot as 105 because of the humidity. “It says a lot when you are dealing with such an expansive area of heat alerts,” said National Weather Service spokesman Chris Vaccaro.

nator Sharon Warunek. “We’ve been organizing trips for 18 years,” Heverline said as the teens posed for a photo on the Cathedral steps with Bishop Joseph Bambera. “We try to do two trips a year.” One of those trips used to be to another country, but that ended a few years ago. “We hope to start going overseas again soon,” Warunek said. “These trips started because the kids asked if they could do something other than give money,” Warunek said.

Which is easy to believe when you talk to them. Erin Gruber, a classmate with O’Rourke at Holy Redeemer High School in Wilkes-Barre, said she decided to take the trip because “I just really wanted to help people.” Gruber was motivated by an older brother who went on a Pontifical Mission before his senior year. “The things he told me about why he did it inspired me.” Students raise money for the trip, Heverline said, often with help from a school or parish.

Gruber and O’Rourke have one other thing in common besides a desire to help. Both are contemplating careers in cosmetology. Gruber said she has enjoyed styling hair since she was a tot, beginning on a model head of hair and working her way up to styling for friends. O’Rourke said she wants to be “either a beautician or a special education teacher, I haven’t decided.” This sounds like a trip that could help with such a decision.

entation in the summer of 2009. The biology major from Old Forge is now a junior. Since he spent his orientation playing games and interacting with area children seeking placement with the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization, he said his time in the community has been a regular part of his semesters. That’s been the goal of the school since it started tying in the volunteer work with orientation a few years ago. “For the past several years, the university has centered its orien-

tation program around service activities to foster a sense of civic responsibility among our students as they enter their new community with the hope that they will continue to be engaged throughout their Wilkes experience and carry that sense of responsibility well beyond their college years,” said Mark Allen, Wilkes’ dean of students. In total, 95 percent of the 570 incoming Wilkes freshmen participated in orientation community programs this summer, according to the university.

Community involvement Wolfe said the orientation experience was nice because “it teaches me more about the area.” Her experience has encouraged her to continue to volunteer her time while she’s a student, too. “I would do this throughout the year if they wanted. It gets you involved with the community,” Wolfe said. That yearning to help stuck with Anthony Pero since his ori-

SCRANTON – Brianna O’Rourke had never ventured far from her Forty Fort home, and conceded “I’m a little nervous” as she waited early Monday to board a van taking her to catch a Newark flight to Louisiana. But the idea of aiding the poor and the struggling had proven powerful enough to pull her beyond her comfort zone. “I’ve always wanted to help people,” the soon-to be high school senior said as she waited outside St. Peter’s Cathedral. “I think this is a great opportunity to touch other lives and learn to be a better person.” O’Rourke and eight other teens from the Diocese of Scranton were heading to the Pelican State for two weeks. Along with eight adult chaperones, they will work with Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity Sisters at a summer camp for children, and go to New Orleans to aid elderly poor in a nursing home and help with reconstruction in flood areas. The trip was organized by The Pontifical Mission Societies office of the diocese, spearheaded by Director Deacon Edward Kelly, Education Coordinator Miriam Heverline and office coordi-

WILKES-BARRE – A Philadelphia man charged with having an inappropriate relationship with two girls was sentenced Monday to 10 to 20 years in state prison. Rodney Frederick Jones, 45, was sentenced by Luzerne County Judge Tina Polachek Gartley on two counts of aggravated indecent assault of a child stemming from two separate incidents. “I’m sorry,” Jones said before being sentenced. “If I could take it all back, I would …” Jones was also deemed a sexually violent predator by Polachek Gartley on Monday after testimony from a state Sexual Offenders Assessment Board member. He will be required to register his address under Megan’s Law for his entire life. Jones pleaded guilty to the charges in September. According to Assistant District Attorney Maureen Collins, Jones was charged in January 2009 with having sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl. He also allegedly molested a girl of 10. Police said Jones threatened the girls with a gun and knife if they did not comply. The caretaker of one of the

girls testified Monday the girl had been doing poorly in school and was greatly affected by Jones’ actions, but is now recouping. Jones’ wife, Sharee Jones, testified that she is sorry for what happened, but there are two sides to the story. “No one really knows the truth,” Jones said, adding she wanted her husband to go home to take care of his children. Wilkes-Barre City Detective Brent Sevison, who filed the original charges against Jones, said only that he wished for a consecutive sentence for Jones. “My thoughts, you don’t even want to hear them,” Sevison said. Polachek Gartley said it was of “grave concern” to her that Sharee Jones wanted her husband home with children and that Rodney Jones suffers from pedophilia – as the Sexual Offenders Assessment Board member testified – and that it cannot be controlled. “There are two victims here sir,” Polachek Gartley told Rodney Jones, adding that he threatened to kill the girls. “That’s a terror no one should live through.” Jones also received almost 2½ years credit for time he has already served in prison.

OTHER OPINION: DELINQUENCY

Juvenile system needs advocate

HESE ARE interesting times for those people who work in the field of juvenile justice. In many states, lawmakers and voters are turning away from the 1990s model of treating youth offenders like adults and locking them up in adult prisons. Influential conservatives have banded together to support constructive and cost-effective alternatives to lengthy sentences. Across the nation, juvenile crime rates are falling, giving states some time and breathing room to restructure delinquency programs. All that’s lacking is national focus and strong leadership. Halfway through his term, President Obama has yet to nominate an administrator for The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. As

a result, the office has drifted from its mission while letting states fend for themselves. The federal government should not be expected to take over the states’ primary role in juvenile justice. But beginning in 1974, when Congress adopted the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, Washington has played a crucial role in helping states push their response to youth crime out of the Dark Ages. Now the act has lapsed, and without a leader at the office, bills to reauthorize it have gone nowhere. Obama should act now, before more precious time is lost and more young offenders become set in their ways and add new burdens and costs to state justice systems. Los Angeles Times

Ed Schechter’s insight left a lasting impact on area ALMOST NINE years ago, the region acknowledged the hard work and vision of a man whose blueprint for progress has had a longlasting, positive impact on Northeastern Pennsylvania. I called Ed Schechter my friend, as did many others who were interested in the economic development of our region. Countless others, though, know Ed Schechter because of Schechter Drive, the thoroughfare that runs through the Highland Park Development close to the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. In November 2002, regional leaders lauded his work and industriousness in making the commercial hub of Luzerne County a reality and dedicated the street in his honor. Shortly after the dedication, I wrote a commentary about Schechter, who died July 2. The article lauded him as a man of vision. He was the first chairman of the Committee for Economic Growth, the organization that was initially conceived as a marketing extension of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry and the one that helped bring businesses and millions in federal and state dollars to the region. These dollars, along with private investment funds from many key business leaders, such as the Tambur family, turned a 375-acre wasteland into a vibrant commercial shopping and entertainment center called Highland Park. It took gumption as well as vision to take land that consisted of 70-foot strip mining pits, broken mine equipment, culm banks

heartfelt thanks goes out to the nearly 300 voters who signed my nomination papers on July Fourth at Wilkes-Barre’s Kirby Park. More people are beginning to realize that a vote for a third party or independent candidate is not a wasted vote or “splitting” the vote, but instead is an addition of new ideas that adds competition to politics. The two-party system is failing us miserably, and as you might soon witness, it will fail us totally with either a default on our national debt or hyperinflation, in a worst-case scenario. If the parties somehow decide to do the right thing, we might see no worse than a short depression.

I hold no allegiance to, nor do I take any marching orders from, party bosses. I will bring to the table a political philosophy that is gaining momentum, especially with our younger indebted voters.

Weidlich, Sichler properties go on block

The Aug. 10 auction does not require that a bidder pay taxes, liens or mortgages. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Seven vacant land parcels owned by Barton Weidlich and John Altobelli are slated for auction at Luzerne County’s Aug. 10 backtax sale, records show. Weidlich, a 42-year-old Pittston businessman, was sentenced in April to two years probation as part of the federal corruption probe. He pleaded guilty a year ago to attempting to obstruct justice. Prosecutors said he threatened a person who had agreed to secretly record conversations with Weidlich as part of an investigation into the awarding of nobid contracts in Luzerne County.

POWELL Continued from Page 1A

his wife, Debra, stopped paying the mortgage. Paperwork from the sheriff sale listing said $1.61 million was owed on the property. Mortgage lenders often buy back properties at foreclosure sales so they can turn around and sell them in an attempt to reclaim some or all of the money owed. For example, former county Commissioner Greg Skrepenak, who, like Powell, was charged as part of the federal corruption probe, lost his Jenkins Township townhouse at a March sheriff sale when it was acquired by First National Community Bank. The bank filed court action to get the property listed in a sheriff sale after Skrepenak failed to make $237,346 in mortgage payments. The bank ended up paying $1,435 to obtain title to the property and sold it for $185,000 in May, records show. In the case of Powell’s property, S&T’s payment was higher because the bank had to cover $47,000 in back property taxes owed by the Powells. The rest of the bank’s payment covered sheriff office fees to serve documents and advertise the sale. Pittsburgh attorney James F. Grenen, who represented S&T in the matter, could not immediate-

Weidlich regularly received nobid business in the county and was friends with several past high-ranking county officials. The seven properties are located in Butler Township and Pittston. Starting bids for the properties will range from $818 to $872. Bidding typically starts around this amount because buyers are required to pay only what it costs the county for legal and advertising fees related to the sale. Properties listed in this judicial or “free and clear” sale did not sell at previous back-tax auctions. High interest is expected because these properties will now be free of taxes, liens and mortgages. Property owners may get the properties removed from the sale if they pay the back taxes before the sale. A Harveys Lake property own-

ed by Edmund and Elizabeth Sichler is also among the 520 on the list, with a starting bid of $925. Elizabeth Sichler, 58, was sentenced to 55 months in prison in May after she admitted stealing more than $2.3 million from clients who utilized her title search firm. Sichler maintained she didn’t personally benefit from the thefts and used the money to keep her struggling business afloat. The Sichlers owe $8,599 in property taxes from 2008 through 2010, county records show. Properties are supposed to be auctioned if taxes have gone unpaid for two years unless the property meets one of three conditions: a judge agreed to remove it from a sale, it is tied up in an active bankruptcy proceeding or the owner is sticking to a repay-

ment agreement. The Aug. 10 sale starts at 10 a.m. in the county courthouse in Wilkes-Barre. Bidders must complete paperwork in advance certifying that they have no delinquent property taxes or municipal utility bills within the county. Prospective bidders must also verify that they have not had a landlord license revoked in the county and are not acting as an agent for someone with a revoked license. Information on bidding is available by calling the county tax claim office at 825-1512 or visiting the office’s website, www.luzernecountytaxclaim.com (click on the judicial sale heading at the left of the main page).

ly be reached for comment on the lender’s plans for the property. Powell could not immediately be reached for comment. His attorney, Jane Sebelin, of Lehighton, was also unable to be reached for this story. Once a high-profile attorney, the 50-year-old Powell is awaiting sentencing for failing to report alleged illegal activities by former county judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael T. Conahan. Powell co-owned two juvenile detention centers at the center of the charges against the two former judges. Powell had to forfeit his corporate jet and ownership interest in a yacht and surrendered his law license. He still owns his own law firm, the Powell Law Group, in Butler Township. But the law firm, listed under the ownership of Powell’s Big Kahuna Realty LLC, is listed for $832 in the Aug. 10 back tax sale. Starting bids are set at that amount because buyers are required to pay only the expenses to sell the property, such as legal and advertising fees. The sale is for properties that didn’t sell at previous back-tax auctions, and the properties listed in August will be sold free of taxes, mortgages and liens. The Fox Run Road building is on 5 acres and assessed at $1.17 million. To get the property removed from the sale, Powell would have

to pay $64,281, or the amount of back taxes owed on the property dating back to 2007, officials say. Big Kahuna is not eligible for a special payment plan because it defaulted on one in the past. Northeast Revenue Service LLC, which runs the tax claim office for the county, has refused to authorize payment plans to property owners who have defaulted in the past three years. The Wright Township townhouse project also listed in the August sale is owned by W-Cat Inc. Bids will start at $806 for the 37acre Church Road parcel containing an unspecified number of townhouse units in the development that was known as The SanctuaryandisnowcalledWhispering Ridge. Powell’s law partner Jill Moran, whoresignedascountyprothonotary, is listed as the president, secretary and treasurer of W-Cat in

corporation records, but Powell and others had a financial stake in the project. The Dunmore-based First National Community Bank has outstanding judgments against Moran as well as Powell, Conahan and Ciavarella and their wives for defaulting on millions of dollars in loans they obtained to finance the townhouse project. The parcel is assessed at $1.2 million, records show. W-Cat would have to pay $38,227 in back taxes to keep the property out of the sale, officials said. S&T Bank has also initiated a mortgage foreclosure action on a townhouse owned by Powell and his wife inside the Whispering Ridge development, but the Powells are contesting that action. The Powells owe $11,840 in back taxes on that property, county records show.

to the White House for more talks this afternoon. Obama told reporters the sessions would be an everyday affair until there was agreement, and he refused to even entertain the idea of a backup plan should they fail and the government should default on Aug. 2. “We are going to get this done,” Obama insisted. They have two weeks or less to do so in order to get any deal through Congress in time. Yet the path to an accord remained hard to see. Even as Obama spoke, Republicans renewed their opposition to the tax increases he sees as crucial along with spending cuts for reducing huge federal deficits and restraining the soaring national debt. “Do you need to raise taxes in order to get control of spending? I think the answer is no,” said House Speaker John Boehner just before heading to the White House. Said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor: “We are not going to

raise taxes. That’s all.” And there was no indication late Monday that the latest bargaining session moved either side off its talking points. “Republicans are insisting on cutting seniors’ benefits instead of closing taxpayer-funded giveaways to billionaires and corporate jet owners,” Adam Jentleson, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said after the White House meeting broke up. Democrats suggested that most spending cuts be concen-

trated in the later years of a deal, but a Republican aide said GOP lawmakers took issue with that suggestion and want the cuts to begin right away. A potential deal — a package that could total $2 trillion or more in deficit cuts over a decade — is considered necessary for Congress to lift the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt limit. Failure to lift that cap could cause the government to default on its bills and sink the economy and the world into deeper trouble.

Obama renewed his case Monday for a package that would put a historic dent in the country’s deficits by blending politically poisonous elements for both parties: tax hikes for the wealthy and big corporations opposed by Republicans and social service cuts that Democrats decry. Obama tried to alter the debate by saying that any potential tax increases on wealthier people would not take effect until 2013. That would fall after the next election, when Obama will seek reelection and control of the House and the Senate will be at stake. Meanwhile, a short-term debtlimit increase would keep the issue boiling during the campaign. The president said he would refuse to accept stopgap legislation. “It’s not going to get easier; it’s going to get harder,” Obama said. “So we might as well do it now. Pull of the Band-Aid. Eat our peas.” He said he would refuse to sign into law a short-term extension of the debt limit, which technically left open the possibility that it could become law without his signature. The White House later confirmed that Obama meant he would veto such a bill.

Arway said a review of the 43,000 acres of land and water the commission owns led the agency to the conclusion that if it didn’t sell leases to the gas that is thousands of feet underground, neighboring landowners would do so anyway. A new source of revenue is crucial for the commission, Arway said, since it has a $36 million projected shortfall just to repair 16 dams in serious condition. On top of that, 45,000 miles of streams in the state need to be surveyed. Commissioner Robert Bachman said the water withdrawals and sales will be coming from state-owned lakes. “It’s much less impact than if you’re trying to take it out of a smaller flowing stream,” Bachman said. Permanent or semi-permanent pipes would deliver the water to gas-industry trucks, and if any of the commission-owned lakes got too low — during a drought, for example — the withdrawals could be halted. “There’s less impact on our resources by leasing our properties where we have some control over what is going on,” Bachman said. Arway and other commission members have previously acknowledged that they don’t have the staff or resources to keep up with the surge in drilling that’s taking place. More

a 16-gauge shotgun. Erik Nobel then went back outside, pulled the dog toward the house, loaded the gun with what he thought was rubber buckshot and shot the bear as it was coming toward him, according to the affidavit. The bear then ran to the left of the house and Erik Nobel reloaded the shotgun, at which time he realized he didn’t use rubber buckshot. In a written statement, according to the affidavit, Hondo Nobel indicated he was aware that his son had shot the bear first and he went outside and shot at it with rubber buckshot to get it to leave. Erik Nobel stated he shot the bear with a 16-gauge shotgun, even though the shotgun that had the rubber buckshot in it was a 12 gauge. Hondo and Erik Nobel could not be reached for comment. They were both charged with killing a black bear during a closed season, which is a misdemeanor, and face a five-year revocation of their hunting licenses, maximum fines of $3,000 and up to six months in jail. The charges were filed at District Judge Ronald Swank’s office in Wright Township last week.

than 3,300 wells have been drilled across Pennsylvania in just the last few years. Environmental groups and the Environmental Protection Agency have expressed concerns about the process’s impact on water, soil and air quality. But the industry insists it is safe. Some environmental experts and sportsmen’s groups question the need for the commission to rush ahead with leases. “I think it would be much better if we were slowing this down. Why don’t we first make sure we’re doing it right?” said Bernard Goldstein, the interim director for the Center for Healthy Environments & Communities at the University of Pittsburgh. Katy Dunlap of Trout Unlimited also voiced concerns. “We understand that the Commission is in a bind right now, given that their only source of revenue is from fishing licenses and some federal funding. We just want to make sure that they are not sacrificing one of their goals to accomplish another,” said Dunlap, Eastern Water Project Director for Trout Unlimited, a non-profit based in Arlington, Va. Dunlap said the existing rules for public comment aren’t enough for the gas-drilling issue. “It is imperative that the Commission provide meaningful opportunities for public input, above and beyond the normal public comment opportunities afforded at Commission meetings,” she said. Game Commission law enforcement supervisor Dan Figured said the shell in the 16gauge shotgun contained number four shot. The bear was lying in the yard wounded when Hondo Nobel shot at it with rubber buckshot from a 12gauge shotgun, Figured said. Figured added the bear wasn’t acting in an aggressive or threatening manner and it was part of the agency’s urban bear study, meaning it was fitted with a collar containing a GPS tracking device. The incident is the third case involving an illegally killed bear in the region since June. On June 2 in Northumberland County, two individuals were charged with shooting a bear that had wandered nearby. The pair claim they shot the bear in self-defense. In Monroe County this summer, Figured said an individual is facing charges after shooting and killing a bear with a rifle behind his house. Figured said the bears in all three cases weren’t acting in a threatening manner. “In the Northumberland case the individual said he wanted to rid his neighborhood of the bear,” Figured said. “These are cases where the people had other options – go back inside and call us. But they decided to just kill the bears.” ternet Traffic Monitoring System, more than 15,200 vehicles daily travel Route 11 in both directions passing the intersection with the bridge.

Mountain Top busts out to win D16 title

By RYAN KONOPKI For The Times Leader

DORRANCE TWP. — Heading into what seemed like another close battle with Hanover, Mountain Top clung to a two-run lead. It was anything but comfortable after Hanover had already overcome a three-run deficit in the first inning. But with the help of an eight-run fifth inning, Mountain Top’s offense made sure another comeback wasn’t about to happen. Derek Distasio hit a grand slam in the big fifth and picked up the win on the mound as Mountain Top defeated Hanover 17-6 Monday night to win the District 16 Little League major baseball championship for the team’s third consecutive district title.

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

Just in time, stars ascend to proper place

ack when he was a relief pitcher for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, David Robertson made his mark by sneaking a fastball past batters. So it’s only natural Robertson would sneak into his first Major League AllStar game tonight. The reliable right-hander was named to his first All-Star team Sunday when Tampa Bay’s David Price backed out. But it shouldn’t have taken a lastminute turn of events to put Robertson in the American League’s bullpen tonight. He should have been there in the first place after what he’s done for the New York Yankees. “He’s really been the best reliever in baseball this year, if you look at his numbers,” said CC Sabathia, the Yankees’ other deadline All-Star addition. “I’m excited for him. Everybody’s excited for Robertson.” Especially Robertson. “I’m really excited to go,” Robertson said. “I’d pretty much given up.” Now he knows how American League opponents feel hitting against him. Robertson went nearly a month without allowing a run over 10 consecutive appearances, and has allowed just two earned runs over his last 22 appearances dating back to May 14. His 1.27 ERA this season is second only to Atlanta’s Eric O’Flaherty, whose ERA stands at 1.07. And Robertson hasn’t allowed a home run over his last 51 innings. He carries the same mound presence that made him a force on Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre’s Governors’ Cup championship season in 2008. And essentially, Robertson is carrying a torch for New York as a setup man to closer Mariano Rivera – one that goes back to Jeff Nelson in the mid- to late-1990s. No wonder the Yankees were so fervent about Robertson’s selection. “Just to see the smile on his face was worth it,” said Yankees manager Joe Girardi, who informed Robertson of his All-Star trip during Sunday’s game. Once he got the word, Robertson could barely wait to get to Arizona for tonight. “I think it’s going to be a good time,” Robertson said. “There’s no chance I would miss that.” Actually, chances were pretty good that he would. And if that seems a shame, consider that Sabathia was sitting in the same boat before Sunday. The big left-hander not only won his American League-leading 13th game with a complete-game four-hitter against the Rays on Sunday, Sabathia’s also on one of the best rolls of his career heading into the break. He’s won six starts in a row, went at least seven innings in all of them and hasn’t allowed a run over his last 232⁄3 innings while striking out 33 batters during those past three starts. Yet, he wasn’t named to the American League All-Star team until Tampa Bay starter James Shields, who lost a complete-game 1-0 decision to Sabathia on Sunday, pulled off the roster. “It’s definitely exciting to be able to be named,” Sabathia said. “But somebody’s got to get snubbed. “I was never upset about it.” Everyone else around New York was. “I still don’t understand what happened there, why he wasn’t on the team to begin with,” Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira said of Sabathia. “I’m glad he got that nod.” For awhile, it seemed as if somebody in the American League was nodding off. Because missing from the cache of Yankees named to the All-Star game were two guys who truly deserve it. In the end, they’re right where they belong.

Politics invades Arizona All-Star game A controversial immigration law in the state has prompted debate over tonight’s Midsummer Classic. By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

PHOENIX — The Rev. Jesse Jackson is urging baseball’s All-Stars to speak out against the Arizona immigration law, saying they should follow the example set by Jackie Robinson when he broke the game’s color barrier more than a half-century ago. The sport’s national spotlight returned this week to the Sonoran Desert for the first time since Luis Gonzalez’s ninth-inning single off Mariano Rivera won Game 7 of the 2001 World Series for the Diamondbacks, landing the All-Stars — those who didn’t drop out — in the hot debate over the law known as SB 1070. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig ignored calls by some to move Tuesday’s game.

“It’s obviously too late for them to withdraw from the scene,” Jackson said Monday during a telephone interview with The Associated Press. “I think they should play, and they should speak out, which would be of value.” As players got ready to gather on the air-conditioned diamond under the Chase Field roof, most of them declined to discuss the law. Enacted last year, it requires immigrants to obtain or carry registration papers and calls for police, while enforcing other laws, to question people’s immigration status if there is a reasonable suspicion they’re in the country illegally. Major provisions were blocked last July by U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton, a decision upheld in April in a 2-1 vote by the 9th U.S. Circuit court of Appeals. Gov. Jan Brewer intends to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the injunction. Boston slugger David Ortiz was one of the few players willing to talk about the law. “I’m an immigrant. I definitely would never agree with any treating of immi-

grants bad — the wrong way,” said Ortiz, who is from the Dominican Republic. Still, he won’t get involved with protests. “I’m not here for that,” Ortiz said. Ortiz captained the AL team in Monday night’s Home Run Derby. Sharon Robinson, daughter of the late Jackie Robinson, was on the field before the event for a “Breaking Barriers” presentation. More typical during player availabilities at the cactus-filled Arizona Biltmore grounds was the response from New York Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran, who will be the National League’s designated hitter. “It’s something that doesn’t have to do anything with sport,” he said. “It’s something that affects a certain part of the population.” Somos America, a Phoenix-based Hispanic civil rights group, asked fans, players and coaches to wear a white ribbon showing solidarity against the law. “Baseball was on the cutting edge of changing the culture with the admission

of Jackie Robinson to the game. It changed the American culture in fundamental ways beyond the baseball field,” Jackson said. “Some players or some players’ families could be disadvantaged or apprehended by that law in Arizona, so it’s very risky. I would hope now that they are there, they would at least speak out clearly that that law is in conflict with national law on immigration. States don’t set immigration policy. “Baseball players cannot negotiate away their dignity. I’m glad Jackie Robinson spoke up for dignity beyond the baseball field, and I’d glad Ortiz has spoken up for dignity.” Sixteen players picked as All-Stars dropped out: four are on the disabled list, Alex Rodriguez had knee surgery Monday, and Ryan Braun and Placido Polanco missed a half-dozen games or more heading into the break. Six pitchers were knocked off the rosters because they started for their clubs Sunday, and Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and David Price looked to rest following minor injuries.

PHOENIX — Josh Hamilton patiently, even graciously, answered question after question on Monday about the tragic death of a fan who fell from the stands trying to catch a ball the Texas Rangers star tossed toward him. He talked about reaching out to the family of Shannon Stone, the firefighter who tumbled to his death Thursday night as his 6-year-old son looked on. “I haven’t thought it all the way through yet,” Hamilton said. “Obviously, I want it to be personal, face to face. I’d love to know what kind of man Mr. Stone was and just meet his wife and his little boy and see where it goes from there. “The memorial fund, my wife and I plan to do something with that and try to do everything possible.” But he knows he can never do enough. “Nothing we can do is going

to bring him back,” Hamilton said. “But the organization can take care of the family and see that everything is going in the right direction.” Two nights after Stone’s death, Hamilton hit the gamewinning, ninth-inning home run for the Rangers, a release of sorts for a man who recovered from drug addiction and lives with an abundance of Christian faith. “It helps me handle life,” Hamilton said, “and this is life, this tragedy. There’s things that happen that you have no control over and you don’t understand them and you will never understand them until you stand in front of your maker.” He was simply tossing the ball toward a fan that he noticed had a young boy with him. “Just a random act of kindness turned tragic,” Hamilton said. “It just lets you know how quickly life can change, just in a blink of an eye, that quick.”

PHOENIX — Pitching has again become the dominant force in baseball over the past couple of years, the hitters not standing much of a chance against all those arms. With so many good pitchers out there, the managers for Tuesday’s All-Star game almost couldn’t go wrong. They certainly won’t get many complaints for choosing Philadelphia Phillies ace of aces Roy Halladay and Los Angeles Angels star Jered Weaver. In an All-Star game missing some luster, these two businesslike studs seem like a perfect fit. “When you talk about the great pitchers in our game today, the elite pitchers, or a pitcher that you would want to start in a game that you would have to win, Roy’s name is always at the top of the list with just the incredible career that he’s had,” said San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy, skipper of the NL team. “He’s doing it again this year. This was really an easy one for me that he would start this game.” Picking Weaver wasn’t exactly a tough decision for AL manager Ron Washington. The lanky right-hander is having a superb season with an 11-4 record and a majors-best 1.86 ERA, but also had some of his competition for the starting nod get knocked out of the picture. MLB doesn’t allow pitchers who started on Sunday to participate, which meant Detroit’s Justin Verlander, Seattle’s Felix Hernandez, Tampa Bay’s James Shields and the Yankees’ CC Sabathia were ineligible. Still, the numbers Weaver has put up would have made him a strong candidate regardless of who the competition was. The 29-year-old was an All-Star last season and has been even better this year, posting the lowest ERA ever by an Angels starter before the break. “I’ve never competed against a more competitive pitcher that will do anything it takes to make sure that he keeps his team in the ballgame,” AL and Texas manager Ron Washington said.

Hazleton Area grad Canzler expects to start in Triple-A All-Star game By JASON FRANCHUK For The Times Leader

SALT LAKE CITY — Russ Canzler hasn’t played third base in about a month. Wednesday seems like a perfect time to return to the hot corner, as he’ll do it in the Triple-A All-Star Game as an expected starter. “No matter what chance you get, and when, you want to show what you can do,” said the 25year-old who made his first trip to Utah with a spot he earned by hitting .290 with 53 RBI and 10

home runs. “I’m excited just to be here, especially because it’s my first year (at Triple-A). I want to show off my versatility.” It has been quite the climb for the versatile 220-pounder who was born in Berwick and resides in Hazleton. He started by getting drafted in the 30th round in 2004, and said the flight into Utah reminded him of his two seasons spent in Arizona rookie league. Many would say the area is also like Boise, Idaho, which is where Canzler spent 2006 with the Chi-

cago Cubs’ single-A outfit before joining Tampa Bay’s farm system this year and advancing a level as a Durham (N.C.) Bull. Mostly an outfielder these days, he’s spent 25 games away from the infield and 40 at third base. “If you get a few days off, that’s nice,” Canzler said a few steps away from the dugout during the home run derby festivities last night. “But you’d rather be playing in something like this. For me, it’s a chance to show off my versatility and see some really

good competition. It’ll also be great because I know the game will be on television and I’ll have people back home watching.” Adam Warren, a pitcher for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, will also be part of the game. It’s unclear exactly how International League manager Mike Sarbaugh intends to use reserves and pitchers. Warren, 23, is 6-3 with a 3.20 ERA and 67 strikeouts. A couple of other Yankees dropped out of the game, which will be Wednesday night on the

MLB Network. Canzler said he won’t have any guests using his tickets. But he will garner some memories. He took his rental car a short drive west to the Great Salt Lake, which was part of a casual day for players and other personnel in town for the event. Today will be a formal media day, plus an autograph session with fans. He said he was fine with not being in the home run derby, which can get a hitter out of a groove. “We don’t often go into (bat-

ting practice) trying to swing out of our shoes,” Canzler joked. “You work on technique and trying to hit gaps...It’ll be great to play in the game.” Canzler wanted to make the most out of the trip. He had a few other sites he wanted to check out, plus maybe a short drive to get a better glimpse of the hovering Wasatch mountain range. “Hey, you never know when you’re going to get back here,” Canzler said. “You just totally want to take advantage of the experience.”

Wyoming Seminary suspends football program The Times Leader staff

Wyoming Seminary Upper School announced the suspension of the football program, citing inadequate student-athlete interest to constitute a team this fall. The decision comes out of respect for the team’s players and its opponents, the school said in a statement released Sunday night. “The decision to suspend the

football program was indeed a very difficult one and in no way reflects on the performance of our players or staff,” Upper School Dean Jay Harvey said in the statement. “The suspension gives us an opportunity to re-evaluate and to develop a program for future student-athletes. “We are already developing a plan to engage administrators, trustees, alumni and parents to

review the dynamics of the program and the student-athletes and facilities necessary to ensure its success.” Coach Terry Karg couldn’t be reached for comment. The Blue Knights finished 3-6 this past season, winning two of their last three games. They had 32 players on their 2010 preseason roster, with 18 listed as seniors or postgraduates.

Karg has coached Seminary for six years and coached the nowdefunct Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers in arenafootball2. Although Seminary participates in the Wyoming Valley Conference in most sports, its football program plays as an independent and allowed post-high school graduates to play. Seminary was scheduled to start its ninegame season on Sept. 3 at the Hill

School. Seminary has fielded a team since 1884. The 2006 season marked an increase in participation that helped to lead the team to a 7-2 record. The momentum carried the program until the 2010 season when a majority of the team, consisting of seniors and post-grads, graduated. Lack of interest among new studentathletes also played a part in the

Kingston/Forty Fort captures title By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

KINGSTON — As strongly as the game started Monday night for Kingston/Forty Fort, it ended equally shaky. But, nonetheless, with the District 31 Little League major baseball championship. KFF scored seven runs in the first inning then overcame some defensive miscues in the sixth to hang on for a 12-8 victory over Back Mountain National in the decisive game of the tournament. KFF finished the tournament unbeaten and will start the Section 5 playoffs at 2 p.m. Saturday against District 17 champion Abington National. The tournament will be either at Abington National or the District 17 champion – either Archbald or Jefferson. National finished the tournament how it started, with a loss to KFF. National opened district play with a 12-7 defeat to KFF on June 27 and battled back with five elimination bracket wins to set up Monday game. And National didn’t go down without a fight. It trailed 12-5 entering the sixth, but four KFF er-

Choman had a solid day for Hanover, going 3-for-4 with two RBI. Peters was a perfect 2-for-2 and walked twice to reach base in all four plate appearances. Anthony Vitale drew three walks in five appearances. After beating Hanover 3-2 Thursday, LeRoy said he never eventually running out of gas after batting around and scoring four times on five hits. It just seemed to be Plains’ day as the offense even broke out against GP pitcher Anthony Bellino, who always seems to pitch perfectly against his rivals. Plains notched three runs in just 2⁄3 of an inning against the righty. “You’ve got to continue to put on runs because they’re capable of putting up eight, nine, 10 in an inning,” Stark said. “We never felt comfortable with any lead that

rors and a single by Jack Tomko cut the deficit to 12-8 with runners on second and third with two outs. Reliever Matt Evans, though, got the final out to send the team to sectionals. “I think they were very nervous,” KFF manager Sean Judge said. “They made it very interesting.” KFF appeared to take the intrigue out of the game early. After National scored two runs in the first on Jared Dieffenbach’s sacrifice fly, KFF plated seven runs on seven hits in its first at-bat. Sean Judge, who finished 4for-4 and a homer from the cycle, opened the first with a single. Hunnter Maxwell followed with a homer to center to tie the score 2-2. Eric Latoski later knocked in two runs with a single, and Julien Simons added another with an infield hit. “In the beginning of the tournament, they really weren’t hitting the ball well,” Judge said of the top of his order, which was 9for-11 Monday. “Our defense and pitching was keeping us in the game and I told them ‘You guys will break out.’ They have been thought his team would put up huge numbers against the same team who fought them to the last at-bat. But he knew they had it in them. “We have the hitters to do it,” he said. “It feels good to be on the other side of it. But (Hanover) is a great team.” Mountain Top LeRoy c Modrovsky 2b Distasio p-cf Sheloski ss Blass cf-p

KKF, though, came back with three more runs, two coming on winning pitcher David McCue’s single. Again, National made inroads on the deficit as Justin Marshall’s two-run single in the fourth made the score 10-5.

cially dealing with girls,” Bertonisaid.“Theygethitinawkward places. You just have to walk away and get the trainer.” It’s not unusual for umpires to require medical attention. Bertoni estimates that he’s been injured too many times to count. When working home plate, he said you can count on suffering significant bumps and bruises at least 10 times a season. Bertoni said the worst injury he suffered occurred a few years ago when was struck by a foul ball that careened off the net. “It struck the left side of my neck, between the neck and collarbone,” Bertoni said. “It hurt so bad that I thought I broke my Adam’s apple. It was the only time I couldn’t finish a game.” Bertoni never loses sight of the danger involved in being an umpire. He talks with most of the players before the game, but makes a point to introduce himself to the catcher. “I make sure the catcher knows it’s his job to protect me behind the plate and make sure that I don’t get hurt,” said Bertoni, who is the chief Little League umpire for District 16 and District 31. Just like the players, umpires are human, too. Bertoni always strives for perfection, but knows it’s impossible. His greatest fear is making a bad call that results in a team losing the game. “I can deal with it if I miss a ball or a strike,” he said, “but I don’t want to miss a call at home plate when someone is trying to score.” When working behind the plate, Bertoni also tries to establish a rapport with the pitcher. Sometimes, when a kid is struggling with his control, he tries to cut him a break if he can do it without breaking the rules. “You always try to bring common sense into play,” Bertoni said. “If a pitcher is struggling and the game is out of hand, I’m going to help him by widening the strike zone.” Bertoni also tries to give a pitcher a pep talk whenever he or she is replaced or becomes a position player. “When they’re taken out of the game, nine times out of 10 that kid is down in the dumps when he gets a new position,” Bertoni said. “I give them a pat onthebackandtellthemtokeep their head up.” Bertoni knows a few things aboutpitchers.Hisdaughter,Sarah, was a standout pitcher for Nanticoke High School the last three years and led the Trojanettes to the 2010 state championship. He formerly coached the Nanticoke baseball team, and is currently the coach of the Crestwood softball team. The highlight of Bertoni’s umpiring career occurred in 1999 when he was chosen to work the girls Little League World Series in Seattle. This summer, he’s going to be umpiring the Mid-Atlantic Regional playoffs in New Haven, Conn., on Aug. 5. “Bob’s done a great job,” said Fred DeSanto, the district administrator for District 16 and 31. “It’s quite an honor to have him. We’re trying to get him to Williamsport.” Umpiring is a labor of love for Bertoni. It’s a volunteer job. “The diamond is in my blood. I love baseball and softball, but softball is my true passion,” Bertoni said. “That’s why I do it. “I still get excited when I umpire a game. The day I don’t will be the day I walk away.”

bers was involved in a big crash.” With Contador’s sore knee still bothering him, Schleck will gauge the three-time champion’s true fitness in the Pyrenees climbs. Schleck is in the driver’s seat as Contador needs to make up time, a role reversal from last year when Contador beat Schleck by 39 seconds to win his third Tour. Contador lost valuable time on the first day this year, when he was stuck behind a crash that split the peloton while Schleck stayed ahead of it. Like the toss of a coin, Schleck got the good call that day. He is 1 minute, 30 seconds ahead of Contador in the overall standings, and 11 seconds behind twotime Tour runner-up Cadel Evans of Australia, the other main contender. “So far, so good. The team has been great, keeping me out of trouble, and if it could continue like this I would be very, very happy,” Evans said. After Monday’s rest day, there are two flat stages for sprinters before riders enter the Pyrenees in Stage 12, with its colossal climb up Col du Tourmalet — one of the Tour’s most famed and feared ascents. That stage is so demanding it could decimate the field. Frenchman Thomas Voeckler leads the race after taking the yellow jersey from Thor Hushovd, while Spaniard Luis Leon Sanchez, who won Stage 9, is second overall. But neither is a Tour contender and both should soon wilt.

Curtis didn’t even bother trying to follow the identical routine that worked so well in ’03. Back then, he stayed at a place that wasn’t much bigger than the podium he was sitting on for his interview in the media center. This time, he bashfully admitted to doling out more than $10,000 for a home that could accommodate all his family and friends for the week. “I’m not a big believer that you have to do the same thing every time you come back,” Curtis said. “I’m just trying to keep it relaxed and enjoyable for everybody so when I get back to the house, it’s not about the golf. It’s just about being together.” While Curtis has put together a solid career — he’s won two more times on the PGA Tour and played on the American team that won the 2008 Ryder Cup — but he’s still known mainly as the guy who won a major championship on his very first try. That week, he arrived at Royal St. George’s ranked No. 396 in the world, barely known in golf. But something clicked over those four days, giving hope to everyone who supposedly doesn’t have a chance.

SANDWICH, England — Ben Curtis never gets too worked up about anything. Back in 2003, when he pulled off one of the most stunning wins in golf history, Curtis didn’t comprehend the significance until he returned to the U.S. “We came down the escalator in baggage claim and there were thousands of people down there,” Curtis recalled Monday. “That’s when it really hit that this was a lot bigger deal than I thought it was.” And now that he’s back at the scene of his improbable British Open triumph, how’s he feeling? Same as always. “I just got here and got acclimated a little bit with the course and the grounds again,” Curtis said, looking and sounding as if he might doze off any second. “I’m sure on Thursday I’ll be a bit more excited and a bit more fired up and ready to go.” Lately, Curtis hasn’t had much reason to get excited about his game. He’s missed more cuts than he’s made this season, so naturally he hopes that being back at Royal St. George’s will give him a bit of a spark. “It definitely gives you a little bit of confidence because you know you’ve done it before, and there’s no reason why you can’t do it again,” Curtis said. “I just hope this is my week. But I’m not going to think about holding that trophy yet. Hopefully when the last putt is holed on Sunday, it will be coming my way.” Then again, the 34-year-old has never put much stock in karma. He certainly doesn’t think he’s got some sort of special edge just because he claimed the claret jug eight years ago at this course on the English coast.

Kyle Stanley was the last guy to qualify for this British Open, earning his spot with a runner-up finish Sunday at the John Deere Classic. This will be his first major championship as a professional, and he doesn’t have much experience at links golf. There’s no reason for him to feel he can actually win. Then he thinks of what Curtis did. “This game is a lot of instinct, a lot of feel,” Stanley said, looking a bit bleary-eyed after an overnight flight from the States. “You never know when it’s going to be your week.” Eight years ago, Curtis arrived in England with few expectations. “Really, the only goal I had was to play four days and see what it was like,” he said. “It was my first major. I just wanted to see what it was like and just enjoy it. I never thought (about winning) coming in here. I said, ’This is the last time I might play in it.”’ Now, he’s good to go until age 65. Looking back, Curtis sensed it was going be his week the night before the final round. He was solidly in contention, though still barely noticed among the bigger names on the leaderboard. His now-wife Candace asked him what he expected to do the next day. “I just kind of looked at her,” Curtis remembered, “and said, ‘I’m going to win.’ ” Win he did, though he was a bit shaky coming down the stretch and needed plenty of help from Thomas Bjorn, who squandered a two-stroke lead with four holes to play. “I think we had a little bit of a wait on 12,” Curtis said. “That’s when it kind of sunk in that I’m leading the tournament ... that I could win this tournament. That’s when the rookie nerves came in.” He pulled himself together and finished with a 2-under 69 that left him as the only player to break par.

South Koreans shine at U.S. Open So Yeon Ryu, 21, defeated Hee Kyung Seo in a 3-hole playoff to claim the title. By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer

Many were unable to even get to their seats for Kentucky Speedway’s Sprint Cup deubt. By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

from The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet that touted the traffic patterns set for Saturday night even noted near the bottom that “Kentucky Speedway is able to accommodate approximately 33,000 vehicles in its 10 parking lots.” Track owner Bruton Smith’s addition of 40,000 seats had made it a 107,000-seat speedway, and all the seats sold a week before the race. Clearly there was going to be a shortage, and everyone seemed to know it ahead of time. Even Smith, who spent millions on improving infrastructure since buying the speedway in 2008, acknowledged it Friday when he joked track officials “expect to have everyone home by Tuesday.” His crack maybe drew a laugh or two when he made it, but it’s not funny now, not for Morrison and her brother, who are out $85 each on tickets, or any other fans who were inconvenienced by the traffic woes. Smith estimated during the race that 20,000 fans failed to make it into the speedway during the event, but that number was likely exaggerated as Smith will now fight with the state for the funds to improve the roads surrounding the speedway. Smith and his SMI group are the best in the business at promoting races, and their facilities are top notch. Texas Motor Speedway president Eddie Gossage had similar traffic woes during his track’s inaugural Cup race. SMI and the speedway addressed the issues, and the track is now among the best in NASCAR. “I talked to Bruton on Saturday and he was just sick as he could be about the traffic, but at that point, what can you do?” Gossage said Monday. “Now you just go forward. Our company always fixes things. We never, ever, ever ignore them.” Fixing things going forward will improve Kentucky, but it may not ever convince some of the fans from Saturday night to return. It doesn’t change the fact that Kentucky, after a 10-year wait to get onto the Sprint Cup schedule, just wasn’t ready for prime time. And for that, someone should apologize.

Sometimes saying sorry is all it takes to make people feel a little better. That might have been the case with Kentucky Speedway, if the apology had been immediate and sincere. But to the thousands of fans who spent hours snarled in traffic, congestion so bad that many never made it to their seats for Saturday night’s inaugural Sprint Cup race, the two words they long for — “We’re sorry” — would probably fall on deaf ears. It’s too late to apologize now, although track general manager Mark Simendinger probably thought he had it covered in a Sunday night statement, his second since the massive traffic jam spoiled what was supposed to be a spectacular debut for Kentucky Speedway. “Kentucky Speedway regrets the traffic conditions,” Simendinger wrote, and since regret means remorse, maybe that should have been enough. It wasn’t, though, and frustrated fans took to social media to blast the track and parent company Speedway Motorsports Inc. for ducking the two words everyone wanted to hear. “When I realized they hadn’t said it, I wondered, ‘Why haven’t they apologized?’ ” fan Jen Morrison said Monday. “I bet a lot of people are wondering that. It seems like such a simple thing to say, and it could really go a long way. But they didn’t say it, probably because they don’t want to say it’s their fault.” By Monday afternoon, the track had indeed quietly apologized by updating Simendinger’s statement on its website. The word “regrets” had been replaced by “apologizes.” It didn’t soften the blow for Morrison, a 28-year-old who works on social media for CMT in Nashville. She returned to her family home in Hamilton, Ohio, last weekend with plans to attend the race. As she headed toward Cincinnati early Saturday, she saw a

line of cars backed up 15 miles going in the direction of the race track. She called her dad and told him he should get on the road, which he did 30 minutes later. He made it to the track at 6:40 p.m., some six hours after he began the drive that typically takes one hour and 15 minutes. But Morrison waited for her brother to get off from work, and they didn’t start their journey until 3:30 p.m. Even though they knew a back way to the track, they accepted that they’d miss the 7:45 green flag start. They missed a lot more than that. After navigating traffic for more than five hours, they got to the gate an hour after the race had started. “The cop just shrugged and said, ‘Sorry, no parking,’ and turned us away,” Morrison said. The paid lots they had passed were full, she said, and they believed their only option was to get back onto the interstate to go back to a paid lot they had earlier bypassed. “But that would have meant crossing the road and walking 3to-4 miles to the track. There was no point,” she said. Morrison, who has attended races at Bristol, Indianapolis and Talladega, is no stranger to bad race traffic. But she said she wouldn’t be going back to Kentucky, regardless of what the track does to potentially make it right. Kentucky officials had not offered an olive branch as of Monday. Simendinger’s statement Sunday night recognized that some fans were not able to attend the race and said “we are gathering information on this and will announce a policy for these affected fans within seven days.” There are other issues that need to be acknowledged, as well. Fans who did make it inside the gates complained about concession stands running out of food and water, and others said there were long lines for the bathrooms, which some deemed dirty and short on toilet paper. The first sign of trouble actually came Thursday, when spotters complained the elevator that took them to the roof was out of order. And there’s no denying that traffic was always going to be a problem. A July 1 press release

drew the shot uphill, over the lake and landed the ball six feet from the hole. Moments later, she slammed the putt home to pull into a tie. She ended up with two birdies in the span of an hour on a hole that yielded only 28 over five days. Nobody can ever say Ryu backed into this title, won on a 7,000-yard Broadmoor course that got hit by storms every day, turning it into a test of endurance and patience for some players and a sporadic series of starts and stops for others. “It’s never over ‘til it’s over, especially in these things,” Cristie Kerr said. “People really want it, and that was a gutsy putt.” Kerr also had a chance. She came to the Broadmoor on Monday trailing by two with two holes to play, but couldn’t convert a12-foot putt from the fringe on 17 to make things interesting. She finished third at 1-under par. Angela Stanford birdied 16 to also give herself an outside shot. But she, too, made par on 17 and wound up even par and in fourth place. That left it a match between the two South Koreans who have been doing their dance for the last few years, jostling for position on the tour back home, deciding whether a permanent move to America would benefit

An enormous line of stopped traffic waits to get out of the facility after the inaugural NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at the Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Ky., early Sunday morning.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — As she stood on the18th green drenched in champagne, holding a trophy and wearing a mile-wide smile, there was no doubt about it: So Yeon Ryu is the brightest star on a South Korean golf roster that has more than its share of them. The 21-year-old won the U.S. Women’s Open on Monday, first with a birdie on No. 18 that tied her Korean rival, Hee Kyung Seo, then with a shotmaking clinic over a three-hole playoff to beat Seo by three shots. It was the latest — and most emphatic — statement about the pecking order of women’s golf in South Korea, where the sport’s stars turn into the country’s icons and Se Ri Pak is already a legend at age 33. “When I was started golf, Se Ri Pak won the U.S. Women’s Open tournament, so this tournament is really special for me,” Ryu said. Starting on the 16th hole, Ryu played the three-hole playoff in 2under par, all but sealing it when she hit three perfect shots to the green on the par-517th and made the putt for a birdie while Seo drove into a bunker and had to scramble for bogey. For good measure, Ryu hit her approach on18 to four feet for another birdie, which sparked a champagne-spraying celebration on the 18th green. Pak was among the South Korean contingent that ran out to douse Ryu in her glow-in-the-dark orange shirt and cap. Great as the moment was, it was the birdie Ryu made on 18 about an hour earlier that was the defining moment of the tournament. Trailing by one to an opponent who had closed out her round before darkness stopped play the previous night, Ryu stood behind her ball in the fairway, plumbed her 6-iron to her nose, then closed one eye to take dead aim at the 170-yard shot. She

them most, taking turns in the headlines and on the winner’s podium. Seo appeared to be ahead coming into this tournament, breaking through on the LPGA Tour last year with a victory that sent her over to America for good in 2011. She might have cemented her hold with a victory this week and she was poised for it Sunday night. She played 36 holes over 14 hours Sunday and finished both rounds in 3-under 68 to end regulation at 3-under 281. But there was one hiccup: A short putt that rimmed out on No. 17 when she was rushing to finish — a ball hit while the wind was whipping, leaving her uneasy as she stood over it. It left her at 3 under instead of 4 under and gave Ryu a glimmer of hope. “I think one mistake yesterday on the17th green, that’s the one,” Seo said. Seo came to the course Monday knowing she might be able to collect the trophy without hitting a shot. She was warming up on the driving range when she heard a roar from the 18th grandstand. It was Ryu’s approach shot. “ So, at that time, I was thinking about, ‘Oh, the time is now.”’ She had to go out for three more holes and is now 0-2 against Ryu in head-to-head playoffs. They also went three holes at the Chinese Ladies Open in 2009. Seo was graceful in discussing the tournament and what it means for her country. “I think they were cheering for both of us,” she said. “So, yeah, I feel very happy that a South Korean player won this great, big tournament.” Ryu’s first LPGA victory gives her the edge over Seo in the much-watched contest to supplant Pak as the country’s greatest player. “That means new history is coming in the future,” Pak said. “That’s what it is. It’s really good to see it.”

PHILADELPHIA — Ilya Bryzgalov wants to accomplish what no goalie other than Bernie Parent has done for the Philadelphia Flyers: Win a Stanley Cup. The 31-year-old Russian understands the pressure of being a goaltender in Philadelphia, and he’s up for the challenge. After shuffling goalies in and out of the lineup for years, the Flyers are counting on Bryzgalov to be the man in net. “I want to be the guy who can carry this team,” Bryzgalov said in a conference call Monday. “I want to help this team win the Stanley Cup because people in Philadelphia and the organization have waited long enough. I want to win the Stanley Cup also and I think we have similar ideas, similar goals. That’s why we have

to work hard and reach this goal. Pressure.we have to deal with the pressure every way and every day in our lives, hockey, everywhere.” The Flyers acquired the rights to Bryzgalov last month in a deal with the Phoenix Coyotes. They signed him to a $51 million, nineyear deal amid a flurry of big moves on June 23 — captain Mike Richards and Jeff Carter both were traded that day. Bryzgalov is considered the first legitimate star goalie the Flyers have had during his prime since Ron Hextall played here in the late-1980s. Despite winning the Atlantic Division title, Philadelphia stumbled in the postseason and used three goaltenders — Sergei Bobrovsky, Brian Boucher and Michael Leighton — along the way. After surviving a seven-game series against seventh-seeded Buf-

falo in Round 1, the Flyers were swept in the second round by the Boston Bruins. In 2010, the Flyers also used three goalies in the playoffs en route to the Stanley Cup finals where they lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in six games. Philadelphia hasn’t won the Stanley Cup since Parent led them to consecutive titles in197475. Bryzgalov aims to end that drought. “I knew Philadelphia was a great team,” Bryzgalov said. “The highest goal is to win the Stanley Cup every year. This team always drafted a big, aggressive team that doesn’t like to play second number. They always like to play great hockey and they want to dominate. I know it’s a long, long time. It’s a big, aggressive team that wants to dominate on the ice.”

Clemens may not take stand in trial years as Defense Department investigaLead attorney hints that the former had to repeatedly explain the legal prin- other panelist. “I would like to hear from both sides,” tor and acknowledged he would be inciple of innocent until proven guilty and star may not testify in his defense.

Abby Wambach earned plenty of exposure after her improbable game-tying goal on Sunday against Brazil.

WASHINGTON — The attorney for Roger Clemens gave his strongest hint yet that the former baseball star may not testify in his trial on charges of lying to Congress about using performanceenhancing drugs as he pressed potential jurors not to hold Clemens’ silence against him. Several members of the jury pool under selection in Washington federal court said they would weigh evidence from both sides before deciding on a verdict. The judge and Clemens’ attorney

that prosecutors alone bear the burden of proving his guilt. It’s a common issue in criminal cases, but the comments from Clemens’ attorney Rusty Hardin show the defense team is at least considering not putting the ex-baseball pitcher on the stand. “Maybe you won’t get both sides,” Hardin told a government consultant who indicated she wanted to hear Clemens prove his innocence. She eventually said she understood she must start off by assuming he’s innocent until the government persuades her otherwise. “Would you require him to testify to find him not guilty?” Hardin asked an-

she responded. “That’s the point. Most people would,” Hardin said, and then explained she can’t hold it against him. “You mean you aren’t going to say anything at all?” she asked. “We may, we may not,” he said. Under coaching from Hardin, she eventually said she would find him not guilty if she had a reasonable doubt even without hearing from him. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton was eager to qualify as many jurors as possible to get to opening arguments. He rejected a defense argument to dismiss one potential juror who spent 20

DUSSELDORF, Germany — The U.S. women’s soccer team shared the Yankee Stadium scoreboard with Derek Jeter, made an appearance on “Good Morning America” and can now count Tom Hanks, Lil Wayne and Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers among their list of starstudded admirers. Like Mia, Brandi and Foudy more than a decade before them, Hope, Abby and the rest of the Americans have become quite the sensation thanks to their performance at the World Cup, a rare turn in the spotlight for U.S. soccer that could Up Next produce another waUnited States tershed moment in vs. the game. France Now the trick is to Noon, keep it going. Wednesday The Americans TV: ESPN play France in the semifinals Wednesday night. Win, and they’ll face either Japan or Sweden in Sunday’s final with a chance to become the first team to win three Women’s World Cup titles. “It’s overwhelming. It’s amazing,” midfielder Carli Lloyd said Monday morning, still savoring the United States’ epic victory over Brazil in a penalty shootout Sunday night. “The support and buzz back home is really awesome, and I think it’s helping women’s soccer. This could be a huge turning point for the growth of soccer back home, and that’s what we’re trying to do and trying to accomplish. “Hopefully, as an added bonus, we come back with the cup.” Unlike the American men, for whom making it out of the group stage at the World Cup is a strong showing, the U.S. women have been soccer’s dominant team for about as long as anyone can remember. They’ve won three of the four Olympic gold medals to go with their two World Cup titles. The 1999 squad was such a crossover hit that fans were on a first-name basis with Mia Hamm and Brandi Chastain — or last-name basis in Julie Foudy and Kristine Lilly’s case — and soccer moms and dads alike turned out in droves with their kids, packing stadiums from coast to coast for that year’s World Cup. But U.S. fans can be a fickle bunch.

Thirty-six people need to be qualified before government and defense lawyers use their preemptory challenges to narrow the panel to 12 jurors and four alternates. Thirteen were turned away for reasons including medical issues, an inability to commit to a long trial and biases against either Clemens or Congress for investigating drugs in baseball. Clemens is charged with six felonies for telling Congress under oath that he never used performance-enhancing drugs. He stands by the denial, but prosecutors say they can prove that is a lie.

NEW YORK — Less than two weeks before some training camps are scheduled to open, the NFL remains in labor limbo. Lawyers for the two sides met Monday in New York to clarify language from previous discussions. Several issues are close to resolution, the most significant being the split of total revenues between owners and players. But snags involving a rookie wage scale, free agency rules and benefits for retired players have slowed the process. While the league’s negotiators hope they can present a new collective bargaining agreement to all the owners at their July 21 meeting in Atlanta, not striking a deal before then figures to cause postponement of the start of training camps, and probably cancellation of the Hall of Fame game Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio. The St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears are set to play in that game, and both teams planned to open training camp at the end of next week. The NFL would need about a week to get the new deal ratified and in place, meaning teams couldn’t start signing free agents or draftees, make trades or begin workouts until the end of the month. That would jeopardize the first weekend of exhibition games, Aug. 11-15, at a cost of upward of $60 million in overall revenues. Commissioner Roger Goodell and several owners will negotiate with NFLPA executive di-

rector DeMaurice Smith and members of the players’ executive board Tuesday. Extensive negotiations last Thursday and Friday seemed promising, but the parties were unable to close the gap on the rookie wage scale — a subject that wasn’t nearly as contentious in earlier sessions. At issue is how many firstround picks would fall under the wage scale, and the length of contracts teams could offer those rookies. The savings were supposed to go to veterans and toward retirees’ benefits. Some player agents, particularly those who often represent high draft picks, have opposed a rookie wage scale, saying it eventually would limit earning power for all players. One proposal, according to a person familiar with the negotiations, would limit the top overall pick to about $7 million a year for five years, with the option to renegotiate after the third year. Sam Bradford signed with St. Louis in 2010 for $78 million over six years, including a record $50 million in guaranteed money. This year’s first selection, Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, would have exceeded those numbers. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the negotiations are supposed to be private, said minimum salaries for players in their first four years would increase from 17 percent in their first year to 12 percent in their fourth year. The players insist that unrestricted free agency begin after four seasons. Owners, naturally, prefer the six-year minimum in place in 2010, and also would like more than the one right-offirst-refusal transition tag.

More details emerge on Ward’s DUI arrest

By KATE BRUMBACK The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward had glassy, bloodshot eyes and failed field sobriety tests during a traffic stop in Atlanta that landed him a drunken driving charge, according to a police report released Monday. A transit police officer pulled Ward over just before 2:30 a.m. Saturday after he left his lane and at one point hit a curb in his gray Aston Martin, the report says. The transit police officer called a DeKalb County police officer, who wrote in the report that the former Super Bowl MVP and reigning “Dancing With the Stars” champ smelled strongly of alcohol. Ward said he had had two bottles of beer three hours earlier at an establishment in the city’s Buckhead neighborhood. The officer asked him to get out of the car and administered a series of field sobriety tests, including a hand-held breath test that registered positive for alcohol, the report said. Ward later

refused to give a breath sample on a stateadministered machine at the DeKalb County jail, police spokeswoman Ward Mekka Parish said. That test is used to determine a person’s level of intoxication and can be used in court. Ward swayed back and forth and became agitated during the sobriety tests, the report says. He also could not keep his balance and mixed up and omitted letters in the alphabet. Atlanta lawyer Andrew Ree on Saturday released a statement saying the 35-year-old Ward was not impaired by alcohol while driving and cooperated fully with police. Ree said in an email Monday that he stands by the earlier statement and had no further comment. After failing several field sobriety tests, Ward was arrested and booked into the DeKalb County jail and was later released on bond.

Update on trade American companies have been selling more goods overseas, while imports have fallen because of supply disruptions in Japan. That’s why economists predict that the U.S. trade deficit fell for the second straight month in May. U.S. exports rose to a record $175.6 billion in April while imports fell to $219.2 billion. But that may not continue. Japan is recovering from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, and most economists expect its factories to rebound in the coming months.

Dunkin’ parent ups figure

The parent of Dunkin’ Donuts plans to raise as much as $461 million when it takes the company public, up from the $400 million it originally estimated. Dunkin’ Brands Group Inc., which runs Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins, disclosed the estimated pricing in a regulatory filing on Monday. It didn’t say when the stock might start trading. Dunkin’ Brands said it plans to use the money to pay down its substantial debt load, although it could also be hoping to have money left over for expansion plans. The Massachusettsbased company wants to grow outside its U.S. stronghold, the Northeast.. The company says it has no plans to pay shareholder dividends “for the foreseeable future.”

WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke may feel surrounded when he testifies before Congress this week. From his left, Democrats will demand to know what the Fed can do to create jobs, especially after the government reported last week that unemployment rose to 9.2 percent in June and the economy generated just 18,000 net new jobs. From his right, Republicans will likely question the Fed’s complicity in high ener-

gy and food prices. But Bernanke won’t just play defense. He’s expected to issue a strong warning to lawmakers to raise the nation’s debt limit before an Aug. 2 deadline. On that day, the government won’t have enough money to pay all its bills and could default on its debt. “We believe he will be very harsh and direct when it comes to the issue of a U.S. default,” says David Kotok, chairman of the investment firm Cumberland Advisors. “HewillasktheCongressnottoplaygames with the debt limit.” Bernanke is also expected to once again

urge Congress to postpone deep spending cuts as part of any deficit-reduction plan. He believes big cuts right away would jeopardize the economy. Speaking before the House Financial Services Committee Wednesday and the Senate Banking Committee Thursday, the Fed chairman will explain why the Fed ended a $600 billion bond-buying program on schedule last month. The purchases were designed to jolt the economy by pushing down long-term interest rates. Economists say the program probably did help the economy pick up speed late last year.

AC casinos see positives

For four and a half years now, the light at the end of the tunnel for the nation’s second-largest gambling market has been an oncoming train. Atlantic City has been battered and beaten by casinos in neighboring states, including Pennsylvania, and pummeled by the uncertain economy, even as its 11 casinos looked for any sign that the gloom might be lifting. Now, it might finally be. Casino revenues in New Jersey fell just 3.7 percent in June, to $276.2 million. June slot revenue was down 3.1 percent, to $200.5 million, while table games revenue decreased by 5.2 percent, to $75.7 million. Four of the city’s 11 casinos -- Trump Taj Mahal Casino and Resort, The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City and Resorts Casino Hotel -- were in positive territory last month.

USAA systems receive the forwarded check information from The UPS Store and process the deposit. In most cases, the deposit is immediate.

Macy’s faces $750K fine

Macy’s department store chain will pay a $750,000 penalty for failing to report it had sold children’s outerwear that had been recalled because it had drawstrings. Such garments pose strangulation and entanglement hazards. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Monday that the Cincinnati-based retailer agreed to pay the civil penalty. Macy’s denied CPSC allegations that it knowingly violated the law. The commission alleged that Macy’s failed to immediately report it had sold children’s sweatshirts, sweaters and jackets with drawstrings at the neck between 2006 and 2010. The agency said Macy’s sold some garments after a recall had been issued.

Shopping site restored By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

DALLAS – Less than two years after a Christmas-week fire caused damage to portions of the Dallas Shopping Center, the plaza has been restored, upgraded and now boasts some new tenants. Among the newest tenants is H2O Pool and Spas, formally known as the Pool Place. It opened June 1 and occupies a 1,050-square-foot space next to the Dallas Dry Cleaners. The company has been in business since 1982. “We were located off the highway behind the Rave’s Center in Shavertown and moved to the Dallas Shopping Center for more visibility and foot traffic,” said David Hilstolsky. “So far we are extremely happy with our new location.” The other business that’s opened in the center this summer is Eva Nails, which has moved into a 1,050-square-foot space

formerly occupied by They Grow So Fast. Owner Danny Ho opened the business June 1. Ho said he sold a nail salon in Wilkes-Barre to move to the Memorial Highway location. A third business is set to open this month and will occupy a 930-square-foot space that formally housed a Sprint retailer. Party Bee is a retail location for event planners Mark and Judy Broody. The couple has more than 30 years of experience in event planning and design. They could design an entire event from the invitation and theme, to custom lighting, wall coverings, linens, music and entertainment. The retail location offers samples of materials and paper products. “You would be surprised at how many Mayday calls we get from brides who have ordered items online and were disappointed when they came in the wrong color or size.

The shopping plaza, which is managed by Humford Equities, was damaged in a fire on Dec. 22, 2009 and has since been completely renovated with code upgrades, a new canopy and roof, and a new color scheme. Also a new 5-foot, eightinch LED message sign will be installed on the main pylon later this month to give tenants another avenue to advertise. Even with the new businesses and upgrades, there are still two vacant spaces in the complex. When Geisinger decided to build its own 17,000-square-foot clinic less than a mile away just off Dorchester Drive in Dallas Township, it left the 6,100-square-foot space it was leasing in the center. The remaining empty space in the center is a 1,050-square-foot space formally occupied by Gunster Insurance.

Chesapeake invests in technology By JONATHAN FAHEY AP Energy Writer

NEW YORK — Now that Chesapeake Energy has helped create a glut of natural gas in the U.S., it needs to get the country to use more of it. Chesapeake, the second-largest producer of natural gas in the U.S., announced Monday that it plans to invest $1 billion over 10 years in technologies designed to spur demand for the fuel. Its first two investments will build natural gas fueling stations along the nation’s highways and develop a technology that will use natural gas and plant material to make diesel and gasoline. “We want to be as innovative with our demand initiative as we have been with our supply initiatives,” said Chesapeake CEO Aubrey McClendon in an interview Monday. U.S. natural gas supplies have grown dramatically in recent years as drillers such as Chesapeake have learned to tap huge fields of natural gas trapped in shale formations deep under several states. That has driven natural gas prices lower and prompted big users like utilities and chemical companies to use more of it. Natural gas demand has risen to record levels, but supplies and reserves are growing so fast that natural gas prices — and driller profits — have stayed low. “We’ve overwhelmed the traditional demand categories,” McClendon said. Through much of the last decade, monthly average natural gas prices hovered above $6 per thousand cubic feet and rose above $10 on several occasions. Over the last 29 months, though, monthly prices have averaged closer to $4 and rose above $5 just three times. Prices closed Monday at $4.28 per thousand cubic feet, up 7 cents from Friday. Chesapeake will create a fund called Chesapeake NG Ventures Corporation that will function like a venture capital fund, providing seed money to new companies or technologies designed to spur new uses for natural gas. McClendon says he will direct 1 percent to 2 percent of the company’s annual drilling budget to stimulate demand for gas, instead of creating more natural gas supply. If successful, that could drive natural gas prices higher, and boost Chesapeake’s bottom line. If natural gas prices average $6 per thousand cubic feet instead of $4 in 2012, Chesapeake projects it would earn an extra $900 million in net income, an increase of 52 percent.

Advertisers find a way to push new products into old TV shows WE LIVE IN AN AGE when advertising has been jammed into every square inch of space. Short of being in the middle of a forest or at sea, it’s difficult to open your eyes and not encounter a logo, advertisement, or some sort of branding, somewhere. Ads fill the airwaves, appear on websites, and are a given, and even sometimes anticipated (in the case of the Super Bowl, for example) part of television programming. Just when you thought they couldn’t cram any more advertising into your life, they’ve gone and done it again. We all watch reruns. In some cases they’re only a few weeks old, in others, decades old. In some cases, you can even spot crude attempts at product placement. The days of Mike Wallace pushing

NICK DELORENZO TECH TALK Phillip Morris cigarettes on “The Mike Wallace Interview” are long gone, of course. But what if Mike Wallace started promoting iPads instead? Well, it may be only a matter of time. Advertising companies have found a way to push new products into old shows. In some cases, almost subliminally, as advertisements that appear in the background; in others, they use the magic of computer animation, seemingly being promoted by actors and actresses who, if they’re still alive, may be far past their prime. Watch those reruns carefully. If you’re a fan of the TV show “How I Met Your Mother,” you may have noticed this already.

PHOTO COURTESY OF CONSUMERIST.COM

An old episode of ‘How I Met Your Mother’ uses a digitally inserted image of this summer’s movie ‘Zookeeper’ on the back of a magazine in the background.

Promotions for upcoming 2011 movies such as “Zookeeper” have started popping into episodes from 2007, in the form of magazine covers, flat panel TVs surreptitiously added to walls, and more. It’s clever, no doubt. And it’s a good

way for companies to continue to monetize their reruns. But there’s something sneaky about it. It’s just a bit underhanded, I’d say. Where does it end? Will Mr. Ed be stumping for CBS? Will Ronald Reagan start promoting current Republican presidential candidates? In any event, it’s too late. The genie is out of the bottle. It won’t be long before Jackie Gleason is doing commercials for SpaceX or Virgin Galactic. “One of these days ... STRAIGHT TO THE MOON!” So keep your eyes peeled when you watch those reruns. If Captain Kirk pulls out a new iPhone when he wants to make a call to the Enterprise, you’ll know that it’s nothing more than good, old-fashioned product placement.

No Strings Not because of an economic view, but because stocks had been up so much. What assets do you think will do best over the next two or three years? We like large, high-quality global companies that trade in developed markets but have exposure to broad growth. Many of them are companies that are prospering but trading at modest valuations. I’m thinking of things like pharmaceutical companies and telecommunications companies. Why are they modestly valued?

tious than they were a decade ago. But valuations today are much more attractive than they were 10 or 11 years ago. Is there anything that you’re steering clear off? We are very underweight fixed income. We have great difficulty in finding attractive, long-term fixed income opportunities compared to what I described with large-cap stocks. Interest rates are artificially low because of very aggressive monetary policy in the developed world, especially the Fed’s policy. There are no yields in Europe that we find attractive enough to want to take long-duration positions. We’re not only underweight, but the positions we tend to hold are short maturity.

TAKING A STAND

These workstations keep workers on their feet

By LAURA CASEY

Contra Costa Times

ast year, Kerri Campbell made a decision: She would no longer sit at her desk eight hours a day. Today, the retail broker for Daymon Worldwide in Pleasanton,

Calif., stands on a couple of black pads, each about an inch thick. Her keyboard is on a wooden stand built by her husband, and her monitor rests at eye level on a box, a hard drive dock and a ream of paper.

It’s nothing fancy, she says, but this do-it-yourself workstation has changed the way she feels at the end of the day. She has more energy, she says, and feels more fit. “I think standing is a more health-

ful way to work,” she says from her quiet office. Like many people with desks that allow for standing, retail broker See STAND, Page 5C

Controversial diet leaves some hungry for less By LAURA VOZZELLA The Baltimore Sun

When Lynn Patterson resolved to lose weight early this year, she took a hormone normally associated with pregnancy, not dieting. The 53-year-old Catonsville, Md., nurse went on the hCG diet, named for human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone that is produced naturally in pregnant women and often used in fertility treatments to trigger ovulation. Promoters of the diet say See DIET, Page 5C

TIPS TO KEEP MOVING Here are some ways to incorporate movement into your workday from occupational therapist Dan Shafer of VocSolutions, Inc.: • Drink many glasses of water a day. Not only is water good for you, but the trips to the bathroom get you moving. • Position your printer away from your desk so you have to get up to retrieve your work. • Stand while talking on the phone if you can. • Stand to greet people who come to your desk or office and try to have conversations with co-workers while standing. • Park far away from the front door of your building. • Choose to walk over to and talk with co-workers rather than send instant messages or email. • Build a walk into your lunch break.

Q: If I’m actively breastfeeding my 5-monthold daughter, can I still get pregnant? I haven’t had any periods since giving birth. — J.R .,Bradenton, Fla. A: While it’s true that the brain’s milkstimulating hormone prolactin suppresses the production of the hormones that trigger ovulation and a menstrual cycle, anything that creates dips in an elevated prolactin level could allow an egg to be released. If that were to happen in the presence of sperm, the persistent absence of your period could mean you’re pregnant again. Although not common, some women never get their first menstrual period after birth to alert them that they’re again fertile. Prolactin levels during active breastfeeding should remain high enough to serve as a natural form of birth control referred to as “lactation amenorrhea” (LAM). Active breast-feeding of a baby in the absence of formula, rice/oatmeal cereal or strained foods is said to be about 98 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. But once you supplement your baby with other liquids or solids or skip a breast-feeding session without pumping, the prolactin level will drop and you’ll run the risk of unplanned pregnancy unless another form of birth control is used. Q: I am an 84 year-old widow in pretty good health. I’d like to remain in my home for the rest of my life, unlike many of my friends who have already moved into assisted-living facilities. How does someone my age find out about resources to help as I get older and need more help? How do I know who is trustworthy? — Y.H., Cumming, Ga. A: You have raised a question that many seniors are starting to ask as they are getting older. An impressive statistic that makes your question timely is that there are 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day. If the desire is to remain in your home for life (i.e. — “aging in place”), how can you rest assured that all home care needs will be met over the years — especially if there’s no spouse of children to provide ongoing care? The good news is that there are several trustworthy organizations to assist with finding the resources needed for success in the home setting. One such organization is the National Aging in Place Council (www.ageinplace.org). Their mission is to educate and provide resources to seniors so that they may remain at home for life. There are local chapters in every state. Some of the companies represented in an Aging in Place Council are in-home care services, geriatric care management, home modification services, elder and disability legal resources, transportation services, mobile physician services for the homebound, financial planning services and many others.

Berries may be ripe with juicy benefits

By JULIE DEARDORFF Chicago Tribune

Berries are nutritional powerhouses whether they’re eaten fresh, frozen, dried, freeze-dried or powdered. But can they protect our brain and memory, melt fat and prevent urinary tract infections? Though emerging research is juicy, scientists know less about a berry’s health benefits than you might think. In general, berries are naturally high in antioxidants — compounds that may slow cancer growth. The darker the berry, the greater its phytochemical content and the more likely its reputed health benefits. Here’s some of what we know.

The key may be the anthocyanins, which have been shown in several laboratory-based animal and cell studies to cause blood vessels to relax and increase production of nitric oxide that helps in maintaining normal blood pressure, said Dr. Arpita Basu, an assistant professor of nutrition at Oklahoma State University. Berries also have anti-inflammatory effects and may be a memory-protecting food. The resveratrol found in blueberries may help prevent macular degeneration, a disease of the retina and the leading cause of blindness in people older than 65, according to vision researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Like the cranberry, blueberries might help prevent bladder infections by preventing bacteria from attaching to the walls of the bladder, according to the National Institutes of Health. Noted: Billberries, a close cousin of the blueberry, have been shown to promote eye health and protect against glaucoma and cataract progression. Processing the berries can cause a significant decrease in the anthocyanin content.

Blueberries What we know: One of the few naturally blue-hued foods humans eat, blueberries are packed with antioxidant power, which comes from high levels of anthocyanins, a type of flavonoid or plant compound. They also contain significant amounts of micronutrients and fiber. Emerging research: Blueberries have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity in overweight men and women, and lower blood pressure levels in pre-dia- Raspberries What’s inside: A high-fiber betic men and women without powerhouse, raspberries also raising blood sugar.

have calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamin C and bone-building vitamin K. They also are a good source of several B vitamins, including folic acid and niacin. Emerging research: Raspberries have higher levels of ellagic acid than strawberries; ellagic acid has been shown “to be a powerful antioxidant and toxic to cancer cells,” said Basu. They may also be a natural treatment for arthritis, due to their high anthocyanin content. Researchers showed black raspberries, which have antioxidant, anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, can also prevent colorectal tumors in animal studies. Noted: Before freezing, add some lemon juice to help them maintain their color. Cranberries What’s inside: A close relative of the blueberry, cranberries have the same blue-red anthocyanin flavonoids. The tart, red berry is an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber, as well as a good source of manganese and copper. Emerging research: The compounds in cranberries called “proanthocyanidins” may prevent bacteria, such as E. coli,

from clinging to the cells along the walls of the urinary tract and causing infection, said Dr. Catherine Neto, an associate professor of chemistry at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. Cranberries may reduce the ability of H. pylori bacteria to live in the stomach and cause ulcers and reduce dental plaque. Neto’s research has shown in cell cultures, cranberry compounds reduce the growth and proliferation of breast, prostate and colon tumor cells. Cranberry treatment reduces bladder cancer and lymphoma, animal studies suggest. Noted: Dried cranberries are high in calories — 370 per cup. Bottled cranberry drinks and cranberry cocktails are usually loaded with added sugar. Drink it unsweetened; mix with half a glass of apple juice.

ries are also potent antioxidants and have been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk factors in several animal and human studies, such as elevated blood pressure, hyperglycemia and inflammation, said Basu. Supplementing with freeze-dried strawberries can improve bad cholesterol levels in people with metabolic syndrome, according to Basu’s research. In animals, ellagic acid inhibited the growth of tumors caused by certain carcinogens. Noted: Consider buying organic; strawberries are among the most heavily sprayed with pesticides and other agricultural chemicals. They can also cause allergic reactions. They retain more of their vitamin C content if left whole.

Strawberries What’s inside: The only fruit to flaunt its seeds on the outside, strawberries are an excellent source of vitamins C and K, dietary fiber, flavonoids (anthocyanidins) and the plant compound ellagic acid. They also contain calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. Emerging research: Strawber- Acai (Ah-sigh-ee) berries

What’s inside: The round, purple-black fruit, which tastes like a blend of berries and slightly bitter chocolate, is packed with antioxidants, essential fatty acids and fiber. It also contains iron, calcium fiber and heart-healthy fats. Emerging research: The antioxidant power depends on how the berry is eaten. Straight acai has the most nutrients, but it’s not available in the U.S. Some cosmetics and beauty products contain acai oil on the ingredient list, but there’s no evidence of health benefits. Noted: Beware. There’s no evidence the berries promote weight loss any more than any other fruits. Because fresh acai is only available in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil, look for it in juice or pulp form or powder.

Are You Suffering With Pain,Tingling, or Numbness in Your Feet or Ankles?

Do what Ed Labatch did…He Called The Neuropathy Center! “I had very little feeling in my legs and feet that I couldn’t even drive. After treatment at the Neuropathy Center I can not only drive again but enjoy life like I used to… without pain.” I had neuropathy in my legs and had very little feeling to the point that I couldn’t even drive my car. I suffered for about three years. I couldn’t stand very long or do many of the regular activities that I loved to do with my wife. I found that I sat around a lot. After meeting with the professional staff at the Neuropathy Center I knew that there was hope for me. After just my second treatment I felt life in my legs again. I couldn’t believe it! My experience has been terriﬁc! Now my wife Betty and I can continue to enjoy our active life doing the things we love including Polka dancing!! I would highly recommend anyone who is suffering from Neuropathy pain to make an appointment today.Their caring staff were never to busy to answer any & all of my questions… in fact we always look forward to our visit.

How to track your measurements

STAND Continued from Page 1C

Campbell isn’t motionless while she works. She does little knee lifts, shifts her weight around and, well, fidgets more. Recent articles in the New York Times and other publications have been shedding light on the conclusion Mayo Clinic Dr. James Levine makes in his 2009 book “Move a Little, Lose a Lot” — sitting all day at work and all night in front of the television, not to mention your commute, can be harmful. Not only is it a likely contributor to the nation’s obesity problem, the doctor says, but it could be killing us. Physical inactivity, like sitting in one place for hours on end, cuts calorie-burning rates and puts the body into storage mode. While standing can also be static, the very act of being on your feet promotes more movement throughout the day as you shift from foot to foot or easily transition to walk around the office. The response to Levine’s bellringing has been swift, especially from workers who sit all day at computer stations. Dan Shafer, owner of the Los Gatos, Calif.based ergonomics consulting and training firm VocSolutions Inc., says his phone has been “ringing

By ALISON JOHNSON Daily Press (Newport News, Va.)

Losing inches from your chest, thighs, arms, hips, waist and buttocks is a clear sign of fat loss and fitness progress. Here’s how to use a tape measure correctly: • Use a plastic tape measure. Cloth varieties can stretch out over time and give you distorted measurements. • Position the tape correctly. Don’t pull the tape in tightly to get a smaller measurement. “Make sure the tape is snug, does not compress your skin and is parallel to the floor,” says Maria Kinirons, director of food and nutrition for Weight Watchers North America. Wear thin fabrics — or better yet, nothing at all. • Breathe normally. Don’t suck your breath in or exhale forcefully when measuring your waist or chest. • Look straight ahead. Stand tall with your feet together — or slightly apart if you’re measuring your thighs — preferably in front of a full-length mirror so

you can see the tape’s position. Don’t slouch down to look at your reading. For the most accurate results, ask a family member or friend to help. • Take monthly measurements. Don’t measure too often: readings can change from day to day — and even at different points in a single day — based on what you eat and drink. Pick one day a month and measure yourself first thing in the morning. If you’re female, don’t

schedule this just before or during your period, when you tend to be more bloated. • Measure at the right place. For your chest, measure around the largest spot, generally at the nipple line. Waist: just above your hipbones, roughly at your belly button. Hips: the widest part of your buttocks. Arms: about three inches above your elbow, at the largest point. Thighs: the biggest part of your upper legs.

off the hook” lately with people asking about turning their workstations into “sit-stand” desks. John Mele of MB Contract Furniture of Benicia, Calif., which provides offices with desks and chairs, says there’s a growing interest in the variety of adjustable desks he sells. “The response we get is people usually love them,” Mele says. “They are a big part of our industry, and I think it’s going to be growing.” Standing for work is nothing new. Standing desks were used by the wealthy in the 18th and 19th centuries and, historically, legal scholar and former Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. wrote many of his Supreme Court decisions while standing. Standing Desk Headquarters, an online clearinghouse for all things related to the desks, claims they were also used by Thomas Jefferson, Winston Churchill and Leonardo da Vinci. While we may never know why Leonardo da Vinci preferred to stand while working, modernday workers have turned to standing desks traditionally to alleviate pain from long hours of sitting or injury. “Sitting is actually hard on your back,” says Steve Meagher, a physical therapist, ergonomist and owner of Site Solutions of Orinda. “The idea is if you’re standing, you’re decreasing

stress on your back because you are lining the spine up.” Mary Gagnon of Danville, Calif., goes several steps further with her standing desk — literally — by walking on a treadmill while she clicks on Web pages and types business email. Gagnon learned about treadmill desks when one of her employees requested a desk for health reasons. Gagnon works long hours and hates going to the gym. Buying her own treadmill desk was the perfect way to exercise without really thinking about it, she says. She ordered her desk, which start at around $1,600, about a year ago. “I really like it — I feel like I am multitasking,” she says. “Now if I just sit all day I feel lazy.” Although he’s receiving many new inquires about standing desks, occupational therapist Shafer of VocSolutions says the biggest reason more people don’t already have desks that allow people to do work both sitting and standing is cost. A basic desk for standing starts at about $250, but an adjustable one that promotes the more healthful activity of both sitting and standing has springs, cranks or electrical components that can bump up the price into the thousands of dollars. “If they were inexpensive,” Shafer says, “I think everyone would have them.”

hCG suppresses the appetite, making it easy to stick to a diet of just 500 calories a day. They also say it helps the body burn fat while retaining muscle. Patterson said the plan helped her lose 58 pounds in just four months. “I’m probably the smallest I ever remember being,” said Patterson, who dropped from a size 20 to a 12. “You want to go shopping again for clothes. That part’s just really great. You just have to keep thinking about that when you want that big old dessert.” While Patterson is entirely sold on the benefits of hCG, many medical experts doubt that the hormone is helpful. And they worry that 500 calories a day amounts to a starvation diet, which can cause heart damage and other health problems. The potential health risks could be higher in Maryland and other states, where telemedicine laws allow doctors to prescribe the drug, derived from the urine of pregnant women, with just a telephone consultation, experts warn. The diet was developed in the mid-1950s by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, a British physician. It has come in and out of vogue since then, with its current comeback fueled by the availability of hCG online. While the number of people on the hCG diet is not known, the American Society of Bariatric Physicians reported a surge in its popularity last year, when the society also took a formal position against it on the grounds that it was not effective and did not provide sufficient protein. “I think it is something that is not well-founded in science,” said Dr. Larry Cheskin, medical director and founder of the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Anyone who goes on a 500-calorie diet will, of course, lose a lot of weight quickly, although probably not safely.” Even with a patient under medical supervision, Cheskin said, he would rarely recommend a diet of less than 800 calories a day. About 1,200 calories would be more typical, he said. Cheskin also doubts that the hormone, which some dieters inject themselves with and which others take orally, has any effect on appetite. “Is the injection working, or is it a placebo effect?” he said. ‘I’ve seen people who have tried it, (but) maybe this is a biased sample. If they’re coming to me, it didn’t work.” Patterson decided to give the diet a try after a friend had success

with it. She had put on about 40 pounds over a four- to five-year period when she was busy working and caring for her ailing mother, who died about a year ago. In the morning, she had only water and coffee. Lunch and dinner were always the same: less than 4 ounces of lean protein (steak, chicken or white fish), one cup of a vegetable, a single piece of Melba toast and a serving of fruit, which could be a whole apple or orange, a cup of strawberries or half of a grapefruit. Dull as it was, she said, the diet allowed her to drop pounds. Patterson used to consume “probably 3,000 calories a day, maybe 3,500,” mostly in the form of fast food. She doubts she could have slashed that to 500 calories without the hormone. “I’ve probably been on every diet known to mankind, and this one just works for me,” she said. But Patterson also said that her husband, Rex, lost weight without taking the hormone or consciously going on a diet simply because she rid the house of junk food and started preparing more healthful meals for the two of them. “My husband, because I didn’t have stuff in the house, he lost 30 pounds,” Patterson said. “I took away his soda, switched from lemonade to Crystal Light, tuna sandwiches instead of burgers. And he was not on the diet. We’re eating at home.” To Cheskin, that suggests it’s good eating habits, not hCG, that can work magic. “So is it the hCG, or is it the fact that when you’re committed and you want to lose weight, you make changes?” Cheskin said. “Any treatment you give, you always want to have a controlled comparison, and we don’t have that for hCG. There are no studies that give some people hCG and some people a placebo.” The doctor who put Patterson

He has been prescribing hCG to dieters for about four years and has had “hundreds of patients following the diet,” he said. “The key is to use a small amount of hCG in combination with a specific low-calorie diet, and when you do it, the hCG somehow targets the abnormal fat deposits,” he said. “As it happens, patients lose weight very quickly, on the order of half to 1 pound a day.” Bloem said the protocol is not a starvation diet. “Starvation diet, when you do that, you won’t be a happy camper,” he said. “You’ll be hungry and ... start to look gaunt, lose structural fat in the face, lose muscle mass. ... The hCG somehow targets and mobilizes the abnormal fat deposits and makes it available to the rest of the body as a source of energy.” In a study titled “There they go again: hCG and weight loss,” West Virginia University researchers found no “physiologic basis for the use of hCG or any proof of immediate or long-term benefit. ... Despite these facts, this form of therapy has achieved a resurgence in popularity. The difference today is that patients no longer have to rely on health care providers to prescribe their medications since Internet sites allow them to obtain medications online.’”

Open house can lead to open drawers if caution isn’t taken by homeowners Dear Abby: During this economic recession, may I offer a reminder to your readers who may have their homes on the market and available for showing? Someone entered my home during an open house and rummaged through my drawers. The thief made off with my cherished sapphire engagement ring, an emerald band and several other sentimental pieces. I never assumed anyone would coldheartedly dig through my clothes and belongings to find hidden valuables — especially with a Realtor onsite. I’m an emotional wreck over the loss of these precious sentimental keepsakes that I will never see again.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Please remind your readers whose homes are on the market to be smart and remove all valuables from the site before showings. — Disillusioned in San Marcos, Calif. Dear Disillusioned: I’m sorry you had to learn this lesson the hard way. It’s unfortunate, but there are individuals who use open houses to case homes and loot items from trusting homeowners. That’s why it’s important to not only remove personal financial information, jewelry and other items of value to a secure location

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

where they can’t be pilfered, but also any prescription medications from bathrooms before a showing. Any stranger entering the house should sign a registration sheet and show identification before being shown around, and even then no one should be out of the real estate agent’s line of sight at any time. If your property has a “For Sale” sign in front and someone comes to the door, that person should be instructed to phone your agent for an appointment. Dear Abby: My grandson, “Tom,” who is in his mid-20s, has become caught up in a “love affair” with an unknown person on the Internet. He never dated during his teens, although his mother told me he once

CRYPTOQUOTE

developed a crush on a girl who broke his heart when she rebuffed him. Now Tom tells me he has found his “true love” online. He says she has told him she’s unhappy in her marriage and would divorce her husband if she could afford to do so. I asked him how he could know it was really a woman and not some guy playing a joke on him. He answered, “Grandma, no one could say the things she says to me if she didn’t really feel them in her heart.” How can I convince him that this may be nothing more than a cruel scam? — Worried Grandma in Illinois Dear Worried: Your grandson appears to be naive, inexperienced, and unaware of how many people don’t

tell the whole truth about themselves online. Warn him that if “she” asks him for money to pay for her divorce that it could indeed be a scam. Remind him that even if it’s not one, she is cheating on her husband by carrying on an emotional affair with him. And he shouldn’t jump in with his whole heart until he knows with whom he’s having the pleasure. But you can’t safeguard him from being hurt regardless of how much you might wish to do so. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There is a fine line between taking initiative and grandstanding. Your awareness of the feelings and positions of those around you will help you strike just the right balance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You know that you have a right to defend yourself, to have your own opinion and to be heard. On a deep level, you feel empowered to take a stand, and therefore, no one can make you feel inferior. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t usually think of yourself as a brand, and yet you will benefit from promoting yourself the way companies do. Decide how you want to be seen, and then seize the chance to project your image. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your ability to question your own judgments and assumptions will help you grow within a relationship. You are willing to learn and make the adjustments necessary to succeed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may be proud of what you know and all you’ve accomplished in a certain area of study. Yet, the cycle will not be complete until you transfer your knowledge to the next generation. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There is no reason to try to change things all by yourself. There’s already a natural evolution moving the action along. If you feel it’s up to you to help, then at least find others who believe as you do and band together. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you have a plan but don’t know the

real reason for it, your work will be unfocused and ineffective. Find out or decide on the “why.” What is the real goal? SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t claim to be right all the time. However, on matters of your expertise, you are rarely wrong. You have credibility and a track record. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are especially charismatic now and will influence the values and goals of those around you. Stay curious, and continue to ask questions. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A series of challenges lies before you. They can’t be taken on all at once. There are developmental steps. Each has its own criteria that must be met before you can move on to the next one. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Because your communication is so clear and direct, unexpected opportunities arise. This would be wonderful if it weren’t for the fact that someone gets jealous. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may feel like a square peg in a round hole. Don’t assume it’s you who must change. More than likely, all will be well in your world just as soon as you find a square hole. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 12). You take yourself seriously and make your own needs important. However, you can also laugh at yourself or get lost in someone else’s world for a while. Because you are so versatile, you have many wonderful adventures this year. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 25, 11, 43 and 6.
