PLYMOUTH – The girlfriend of a shooting victim said it was a message from God that saved her and their infant daughter from being shot last weekend in a drug deal gone bad. “I think it was God’s message that we needed to get out of there,” Ashley Bryant said of the circumstances that led her to take her six-week-old daughter, Izabella, and stay with her mother Friday night. “I don’t like the way it happened, but I thank God for my daughter, that she’s safe,”

WILKES-BARRE – A week before they are scheduled to open, Wilkes-Barre General Hospital unveiled its new facilities during an open house Wednesday. Hospital officials said the $53 million, 60,000-square-foot expansion, which houses a new emergency department and a state-of-theart Heart and Vascular Institute, will allow doctors and nurses to provide care more efficiently in a more comfortable, private environment for patients. “It gives them much more privacy than they had before,” hospital CEO Cornelio Catena said. “In the old ED we just had curtains between the individual beds or treatment areas. Here they have their own private room, so the patients have much more privacy. “And we’ve got a system that can handle the patients much more expeditiously, much more quickly than we had before, so we expect our wait times to come down.” General Hospital’s Emergency Department – the busiest in the region – was formerly spread between three different treatment areas separated by long hallways. The new building centralizes the department around a central command center, with a secure triage area and behavioral and mental health department fanning off the hub. A pneumatic tube system links the emergency room to the pharmacy, laboratory and other departments, speeding the movement of medications and lab samples. Allison Knick, a registered nurse and clinical leader, worked in the old emergency department for more than 25 years. She said she’s “very excited” about the department’s new layout. “It’s set up in a fashion that the nurses will be moving about the department and can access more patients much more quickly,” she said. “I think of it like a race track.” The second floor contains the hospital’s new Heart and Vascular Institute, featuring three cardiac catheterization labs, two nuclear

Schultz, Curley trial dates not set at closed hearing

The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — The judge overseeing the case of two Penn State officials charged with perjury and failing to report suspected child sexual abuse did not set a trial date after a closeddoor pretrial meeting Wednesday. The 50-minute meeting in the Harrisburg chambers of Dauphin County Judge Todd Hoover will likely result in an order that will lay out the schedule of future hearing dates, lawyers said afterward.

Penn State athletic director Tim Curley, who is currently on leave from the university, and retired vice president Gary Schultz are charged with lying about their response when they learned that former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky had been seen showering with a young boy in 2001. Curley’s lawyer, Caroline Roberto, and Schultz’s lawyer, Tom Farrell, said little else after the meeting. A spokesman for the attorney general’s office also declined to discuss the details of the meeting.

Penkalas attend dedication The Penkala family of Hazleton recently attended the dedication of the Gift of Life Family House in Philadelphia. The Family House is a 30-room recovery setting for transplant patients and their families who travel to Philadelphia for transplantrelated care. The Penkalas underwrote the cost of the house’s laundry facility in honor of their late son Paul, an organ donor. Family members said the decision to underwrite the laundry facility was an easy one since Paul was always meticulous about ironing his clothing and keeping himself looking neat. The $12 million Family House offers 28,000 square feet of home-like living space for transplant patients and their family members who live 25 miles or more away from Philadelphia. Amenities include a communal living room, kitchen and dining room; on-site parking; laundry facilities; and transportation to and from local hospitals.

JENKINS TWP. – Neiman Marcus won nearly $900,000 in state grants and tax credits for a new distribution center by promising 150 jobs in three years, but it won’t take nearly that long to reach that number, a company executive said Wednesday. “We’ll have more than 150 to start,” Senior Vice President of Operations and Distribution Greg Shields said in a phone interview. And only about four of those will be company people brought in from out of town. The rest will be hired locally.

While predicting growth is tricky in such a difficult economy, Shields said the workforce at the warehouse, located in the CenterPoint Commerce & Trade Park, could grow by as much as 10 percent a year. “We are going to transition from a third party logistics center,” Shields said. That facility, in New Jersey, handled East Coast distribution through contract with Neiman Marcus. The facility provided labor and management. The new center in Jenkins Township will be an “in-house operation” Neiman Marcus will run. Jobs available at the new center will range from entry level to supervisor and management positions, Shields said. Salaries will be in the upper end of the going rate for similar nearby facilities. “If you survey the businesses

in that area, there is a wide variety, around $8 to $12 an hour. We will be in that pack. We will not be the highest, but we will be higher than average.” In order to get the state tax credits for job creation, Shields added, the company must pay at least 150 percent of minimum wage. The company will be looking for people that have a good ability to read, write and do some basic math, Shields said. “I think there are going to be a lot of people who can come to us.” The company provides training and offers benefits designed to keep employees long-term, such as tuition reimbursement for college courses. “We require people who can work for us and stay with us. We have long-tenured people,” Shields said. “I’ve been here 23 years. We have people with 40 years in the company.”

While the 150 jobs will be filled quickly, candidates will have to cool their heels until next year. The company is moving into a building that’s still under construction, and even after it’s done, Neiman Marcus will do extensive work tailoring it to the company’s needs, including installing air conditioning for the entire, 198,400 square feet. Shields expects the building to to start seeking job applicants in February and begin moving merchandise in April, 2013. Openings will be posted on the corporate website, neimanmarcus.com, and the company will likely hold some job fairs. “We did an exhaustive study” looking for a location, Shields said. “I spent a lot of time in the Pittston area. I think it’s fantastic. It’s a beautiful place. We’re very excited about this.”

Fire scare at records storage building

WILKES-BARRE

A hearing for LAG Towing Inc. to explain why it is unable to produce documents regarding services provided under contract with Wilkes-Barre has been rescheduled to 3:30 p.m. on July 31. Glodzik Luzerne County Judge Lesa Gelb originally ordered a hearing for Wednesday, but set the new date due to a scheduling conflict with the attorney for Leo Glodzik. Gelb ordered Glodzik and his accountant to appear at the hearing to show why they should not be held in contempt of court for failing to comply with an order of June 18. The towing company was supposed to explain why there was no full disclosure that no records existed when a Right to Know request was made by The Citizens’ Voice newspaper. The court also wanted to know why there was not an affidavit from the towing company’s accountant explaining at whose behest LAG’s records were destroyed, when they were destroyed and how frequently. In its response, the company said the newspaper failed to show LAG had a duty to provide the records under the Right to Know law and the records were destroyed after monthly consultation with Wilkes-Barre police chief Gerard Dessoye to protect personal identification data.

Wilkes-Barre fire crews responded to Luzerne County’s leased records storage building, the Thomas C. Thomas property on Union Street, Wednesday morning after an overheated motor in the freight elevator created smoke. County officials are exploring storage options because state archive experts say the property, leased for $8,600 per month, is not suitable for record storage.

Shickshinny woman admits to altering check By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Shickshinny woman who admitted Wednesday to altering a check made out to the Shickshinny Sewer Authority and attempting to take merchandise from a local pharmacy was sentenced to two years probation in the county’s specialty court program. Diane Noss, 53, of South Main Street, pleaded guilty before Judge William Amesbury to charges of forgery, tampering with records and retail theft. The specialty court was created to stabilize people who commit nonviolent crimes, sometimes repeatedly, because they’re not receiving needed mental health treatment. Participating offenders can stay out of prison if they adhere to treatment

plans, maintain housing and employment and pass random drug tests. Amesbury said if Noss fails any part of the program, she could be incarcerated at the county jail. Noss was charged in August 2010 after the sewer authority’s secretary, Mary Beach, reported Noss submitted an altered check for $60 for a sewer bill. After an overdue notice was sent to Noss and her husband, Shickshinny Councilman Barry Noss Sr., Beach told police Barry Noss suggested Beach made a mistake and showed her a copy of a check that was made payable to the sewer authority. Beach said the check that Barry Noss presented appeared to be a copy of two checks, and that she verified with a bank in Shickshinny that the check was not processed, according to court papers.

Diane Noss later told police she paid the bill online through her credit union account and alleged Beach made a copy of her check using another check “to try and set Barry (Noss) up and get him in trouble,” according to court papers. Beach spoke Wednesday at Noss’ hearing, saying that since she has reported Noss’ crime, she has been the subject of ridicule and name calling, and had her hours at the sewer authority reduced from five to two hours a day, and health care benefits removed. Amesbury ordered Noss to have no contact with the sewer authority or its members, other than to pay bills as a Shickshinny resident. Noss also pleaded guilty to retail theft in a September 2011 incident in which police say she attempted to remove $421 in items from the Rite Aid Pharmacy in Edwardsville.

Luzerne County Manager Robert Lawton would welcome workforce standards established by county council, such as a 40-hour work week, but said it would take years to fully implement changes through union negotiations. “This doesn’t make it a magic wand,” Lawton told council Tuesday. Council members plan to form a subcommittee to develop the standards, at the urging of Councilman Rick Williams. Among Williams’ proposals is a “cafeteria” health plan that would provide standard coverage to employees and require workers to bear additional costs of insuring their dependents. Lawton said the county must get a handle on its true health care costs before it could provide an accurate charge for dependent coverage. The county directly assumes the major cost of claims because it is selfinsured. The county pays a third-party administrator to process claims and negotiate service rates with providers. The county budgets a standard $10,000 in health care costs for each employee but must come up with valid projections for individual, couple and family costs based on actuarial studies and past claim reports, Lawton said. Most employees pay something toward their health care, ranging from varying flat amounts to 10 percent. See COUNCIL, Page 4A

‘I can’t beat this case,’ says suspect who allegedly shot at cop By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – While his lawyer and prosecutors squabbled about how to proceed during a court hearing, a shackled William Gronosky blurted out he could not defeat charges that he “blasted away” at a pursuing police officer. Gronosky, 29, made the comment in Wilkes-Barre Central Court during a preliminary hearing on Wednesday on charges he emptied two clips of a handgun at an officer chasing him in a stolen Ford Focus on March 26.

“I’ll just waive it; I can’t beat this case,” Gronosky said before District Judge Andrew Barilla quickly advised him Gronosky not to discuss details about the charges against him. According to city police, the officer was pursing Gronosky after he allegedly stole the vehicle after a home invasion on Church Street, Hanover Township, several hours earlier.

Gronosky waived to county court charges of assault of a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault, illegal possession of a firearm, fleeing or attempting to elude police and reckless endangerment. Before Gronosky’s outburst, prosecutors and Luzerne County Assistant Public Defender Christopher O’Donnell were discussing how to proceed with the case. Assistant District Attorney Frank McCabe questioned if there was a conflict with the public defender’s office representing

Gronosky. The charges against Gronosky stem from multiple alleged incidents, including the home invasion, a burglary of a state police trooper’s residence in Laflin and a robbery of an adult strip club in Plymouth Township. Other people are facing conspiracy related charges for assisting Gronosky in each offense and are represented by the public defender’s office or by a private attorney. McCabe said he believed there was a conflict with the public defender’s office representing Gronosky and other people associat-

ed with his alleged offenses. O’Donnell was standing in for Attorney Stephen Greenwald, an assistant public defender, who is representing Gronosky on most of the alleged offenses but not on the charges he fired shots at the city police officer. While McCabe and O’Donnell were discussing the possible conflict, Gronosky blurted out he could not “beat the case” and waived the charges to county court. Gronosky remains jailed at the county correctional facility for lack of $1.3 million bail.

COUNCIL Continued from Page 3A

More hours, more pay The county would have to provide additional compensation to switch employees to a 40-hour work week, Lawton said. Most of the county’s roughly 1,550 employees work 32.5, 35 or 37.5 hours per week. Uniformity is needed, Lawton said. Employees also are paid the same day but for different time periods, with some in arrears and others in advance, causing a “major drag” implementing the time clock payroll system, he said. Councilman Stephen A. Urban said the administration must ensure the expense of increasing hours would be worthwhile. Court officials wanted to hire

additional probation officers several years ago after the county spent money increasing the existing officers to 35 hours, he said. County Controller Walter Griffith said he’d rather see a reduction in “excessive amounts” of vacation and sick days than an increase in hours. “I think we have more problems getting work done because people are off,” Griffith told council. In other business Tuesday, council members did not approve a 2012-13 budget for the Workforce Investment Board, which oversees job placement and training programs and CareerLink centers Luzerne and Schuylkill counties. Council members said there are too many unanswered questions about the board’s spending plan. The board’s executive director, Lucyann Vierling, resigned this week, officials say.

Brittany Burgess, Luzerne County Council’s first permanent council clerk, in her office at the courthouse.

She said she previously resided in Virginia Beach and Jacksonville, N.C., because her husband, Jacob, a Tunkhannock native, was in the U.S. Marine Corps. Burgess also has worked as a development associate at the United Way of Onslow County in North Carolina, a division secretary in the math and sciences department at Coastal Carolina Community College in North Carolina and as public works department assistant in Virginia Beach City. She has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Norfolk State University in Virginia. Council interviewed five applicants for the post.

“Due to Brittany’s intelligence, analytical skills and effective communication, we know she’ll do an excellent job as clerk to council,” said council Chairman Jim Bobeck. Councilmen Stephen A. Urban and Rick Morelli abstained from voting because they did not participate in the interview process. Morelli supported prior interim clerk Colette Check, who was among the five interviewed. Councilman Stephen J. Urban voted against the hiring. Councilman Edward Brominski abstained due to an ethics complaint over the hiring process. The county ethics commission dismissed the complaint.

DURYEA – Borough council’s meeting opened with a PowerPoint presented by resident Lorraine Harmanos Henrich. Instead of building more dikes, Harmanos Henrich believes congressional representatives should be contacted to research and build a dam upstate on the Susquehanna River. Not only would this prevent flooding, but the dam would provide employment and eco-friendly hydroelectric power, she said. “The Susquehanna owes us … Let’s tame it a little bit; we’ve already had enough devastation,” Harmanos Henrich said. She summarized that if water hadn’t gone into West Pittston and Duryea, thus sacrificing those towns, the river would have breached Wilkes-Barre’s dike. Harmanos Henrich stated again and again during her slide show that “the answer can’t be dikes.” President Audrey Marcinko has been attending the Valley United meetings at Luzerne County Community College. Valley United is a group composed of representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and flood damaged communities who have been meeting to discuss long term recovery for the area. Marcinko explained that the group is meeting to brainstorm what Duryea and other communities can do to unite and better the communities. Valley United is allowing communities to talk to each other, and not just about the flood.

Scranton resident Brittany Burgess started work Wednesday as Luzerne County Council’s first permanent clerk under the new home rule government. The clerk acts as a representative of the 11-member elected, part-time council, interacting with citizens and officials. Burgess also will prepare meeting minutes, attend council meetings and inform council of pending issues. Burgess, 24, will be paid $40,000 and was selected from more than 90 applicants. Seven council members supported the hiring. “I’m very excited to have the position and get started and help in any way I can, especially with the home rule transition,” Burgess said. “I hope I can be of assistance to everybody in helping things run smoother.” A native of Palmerton in neighboring Carbon County, Burgess most recently worked as a financial aid officer at the McCann School of Business and Industry in Dickson City since April 2011.

Hanover Township will sign a maintenance agreement. · Work with Nanticoke to install a four-way stop sign at the intersection of Kosciuszko Ave. and Middle Road. · Re-establish proper grades of three stormwater inlets on Middle Road to alleviate traffic swerving around them. · Investigate the possibility of installing traffic calming circles along the route to maintain proper spacing.

Latest House vote to repeal new health care law largely symbolic.

By LISA MASCARO Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – For the 33rd time, House Republicans passed legislation taking aim at the nation’s new health care law – this time in a largely symbolic vote to repeal it. The two-day floor debate was orchestrated by GOP leaders to rev up voters before the November election,

tapping into the deep divisions that remain over the plan two years after President Barack Obama’s signature domestic achievement became law. Americans continue to give the Affordable Care Act mixed reviews, with conservative and independent voters among those most opposed. After the Supreme Court upheld the law in a landmark decision this summer, Republican leaders promised another repeal vote in a strategy that poses some risk for the party as polls show Americans want to move on to other issues.

The House voted 244-185 Wednesday. Five Democrats joined the GOP, more than the three who supported repeal a year ago, showing the continued political strain the legislation poses for some in the president’s party. The bill, like many others passed by the House since 2011, is expected to languish in the Senate. Democrats, who have the majority in that chamber, complained that the vote is a waste of time, as Americans put priority on the economic and employment outlook.

sissippi’s only abortion clinic and make it nearly impossible for a woman to get the procedure in the state. U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III temporarily blocked the law July 1 and extended that order Wednesday, though he did not immediately say how long it would last. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states can’t place undue burdens or substantial obstacles to women seeking abortion. The law would require anyone performing clinic abortions to be an OB-GYN with privileges to admit patients to a local hospital. The doctors at the clinic in Jackson do not have those privileges, and the clinic says the privileges aren’t medically necessary.

Navy seeks Gulf mines

The Navy is rushing dozens of unmanned underwater craft to the Persian Gulf to help detect and destroy mines in a major military buildup aimed at preventing Iran from closing the strategic Strait of Hormuz in the event of a crisis, U.S. officials said. The tiny SeaFox submersibles each carry an underwater television camera, homing sonar and an explosive charge. Each submersible is about 4 feet long and weighs less than 100 pounds. Negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program appear to have stalled. Some U.S. officials are wary that Iran may respond to tightening sanctions on its banking and energy sectors, including a European Union oil embargo, by launching or sponsoring attacks on oil tankers or platforms in the Persian Gulf. Some officials in Tehran have threatened to close the narrow waterway, a choke point for a fifth of the oil traded worldwide. GENEVA

Syrian boss talks transition

Syrian President Bashar Assad has discussed the possibility of forming a transitional government for his country as proposed by an international conference in Geneva last month, envoy Kofi Annan said Wednesday. Annan, the U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria, said that during his discussions with Assad in Damascus this week, the Syrian leader proposed someone who could serve as an interlocutor for the regime as it explores ways of forming a transitional government with the opposition. Activists estimate that 17,000 people have been killed in the Assad regime’s crackdown on a popular uprising that began in March 2011. GETTYSBURG

Officials at Gettysburg National Military Park say someone apparently searching for buried relics dug 23 small holes in the park over the weekend. Now they’re asking anyone with information about the holes to come forward. Digging on national park land can be an expensive hobby. It’s punishable by fines of up to $100,000 and jail time. It’s even illegal to bring a metal detector on to the grounds. Park Management Assistant Katie Lawhon said Gettysburg saw a lot of visitors on Saturday, so it’s possible the digging happened at night when the park was closed.

Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney gestures during a speech to the NAACP annual convention, Wednesday, in Houston, Texas.

NAACP boos Romney By KASIE HUNT Associated Press

HOUSTON — Unflinching before the NAACP, Mitt Romney declared Wednesday he’d do more for AfricanAmericans than Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president. He drew jeers when he lambasted the Democrat’s policies. “If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you are looking at him,” Romney told the group’s annual convention. Pausing as some in the crowd heckled, he added, “You take a look!” “For real?” yelled someone in the crowd. The reception was occasionally rocky though generally polite as the Republican presidential candidate sought to woo a Democratic bloc that voted heavily for Obama four years ago and is certain to do so again. Romney was booed when he vowed to repeal “Obamacare” — the Democrat’s signature health care

measure — and the crowd interrupted him when he accused Obama of failing to spark a more robust economic recovery. “I know the president has said he will do those things. But he has not. He cannot. He will not,” Romney said as the crowd’s murmurs turned to groans. At other points, Romney earned scattered clapping for his promises to create jobs and improve education. In an interview with Fox News after the speech, Romney said he had expected the negative reaction to some of his comments. “I am going to give the same message to the NAACP that I give across the country, which is that Obamacare is killing jobs,” he said. Four months before the election, Romney’s appearance at the NAACP convention was a direct, aggressive appeal for support from across the political spectrum in what polls show is a close contest. Romney doesn’t expect to win a majority of black voters — 95 percent backed Obama in 2008 — but he’s

trying to show independent and swing voters that he’s willing to reach out to diverse audiences, while demonstrating that his campaign and the Republican Party he leads are inclusive. The stakes are high. Romney’s chances in battleground states such as North Carolina and Virginia — which have huge numbers of blacks who helped Obama win four years ago — will improve if he can cut into the president’s advantage by persuading black voters to support him or if they stay home on Election Day. Obama spoke to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People during the 2008 campaign, as did his Republican opponent that year, Sen. John McCain. The president has dispatched Vice President Joe Biden to address the group today. Obama is scheduled to address the National Urban League later this month. For the past year, Romney’s campaign has sought to avoid any overt discussion of race.

ISLAMABAD — Bureaucratic delays have held up shipments to troops in Afghanistan through Pakistan, officials said Wednesday, a week after Islamabad reopened U.S. and NATO supply lines. So far, only a handful of supply trucks have crossed the border, which Pakistan closed to the convoys last November after American airstrikes accidentally killed 24 Pakistani border troops. Islamabad agreed to reopen the supply routes on July 3, after months of talks and a U.S. apology over the incident. Two trucks carrying supplies to U.S. and NATO troops passed through the Chaman border crossing in the southern province of Baluchistan last Thursday. A Pakistani customs official said no other trucks have crossed since then. Four trucks from the port city of Karachi arrived at the border Wednesday and were expected to cross today, the official said. Chaman is one of two border crossings used to transport NATO supplies. Trucks have yet to pass at Torkham, the second crossing, a regional official in northern Pakistan said. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to reporters. Since the official resumption of the supply route, not a single fuel truck has left either of the two main ports in Karachi, said Israr Shinwari, president of the All Pakistan Tankers Association. He blamed bureaucracy for the delay, saying that procedures and paperwork must be completed before goods and fuel can even be loaded on the trucks. Goods shipments appeared likely to resume before fuel supply, Shinwari said, and the tankers are expected to move in about a week. Pakistan is a notoriously bureaucratic country where obtaining permits or processing paperwork can take a frustratingly long time. Before the closure, 150 to 200 trucks carrying NATO supplies crossed the border daily.

U.S. to clear bombs from Laos By BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press

VIENTIANE, Laos — Decades after the U.S. gave Laos a horrific distinction as the world’s most heavily bombed nation per person, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton pledged Wednesday to help get rid of millions of unexploded bombs that still pockmark the impoverished country — and still kill. The U.S. dropped more than 2 million tons of bombs on the North Vietnamese ally during its “secret war” be-

tween 1964 and 1973 — about a ton of ordnance for each Laotian man, woman and child. That exceeded the amount per person dropped on Germany and Japan together in World War II. Four decades later, American weapons are still claiming lives. When the war ended, about a third of some 270 million cluster bombs dropped on Laos had failed to detonate. More than 20,000 people have been killed in Laos since then by ordnance, according to its government,

and agricultural development has been stymied. Clinton, gauging whether a nation the U.S. pummeled in wartime can evolve into a new foothold of American influence in Asia, met with the prime minister and foreign minister, part of a weeklong diplomatic tour of Southeast Asia. The goal is to bolster America’s standing in some of the fastest growing markets of the world, and counter China’s expanding economic, diplomatic and military dominance of the region.

Smoking ban trial set for 2 state parks The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — State officials are planning a trial smoking ban next year in two Pennsylvania state parks as they deal with complaints about litter. The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources says it’s getting complaints about cigarette butts discarded in lakes and on beaches. Department spokesman Terry Brady tells the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review the abundance of butts eats up time maintenance workers would otherwise put to good use. He says filtered cigarettes are particularly troublesome because they don’t biodegrade quickly. Officials haven’t decided which of the state’s 120 parks would be part of the trial ban but at least one would have a body of water. Brady says the ban could be extended to all state parks if it’s successful.

Voter ID law site to help Spanish partly in English The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A state website that’s supposed to help Spanish-speakers understand Pennsylvania’s voting laws uses English to describe the new voter-identification law. The Spanish-language home page of the State Department “votesPA” website was correctly in Spanish on Wednesday afternoon, except for the all-English link to the law that will require all voters to show photo identification in the Nov. 6 general election. State Department spokesman Nick Winkler says it’s a temporary problem resulting from an ongoing redesign of the website. He says that work should be completed within days. State Democratic Party spokesman Mark Nicastre said the problem reflects the “haphazard” implementation of the law passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature. State officials recently acknowledged that nearly 10 percent of the state’s 8.2 million voters lack the most commonly used photo ID cards.

Feds ask Pa. about Medicaid roll drop

U.S. government suggests some people improperly kicked off. By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG — The federal government is asking why Pennsylvania’s Medicaid rolls dropped over the past year, and is suggesting some people might have been improperly kicked off because caseworkers had not sorted through a serious backlog of information submitted by people seeking to keep the medical benefit. The query comes after advocates for children and the poor say they have received hundreds of reports of people wrongfully losing benefits, while department figures show that tens of thousands of children have fallen off Medicaid rolls. A spokesman for the Centers for Medi-

care and Medicaid Services said it had not received a response to its June 14 letter that requests the results of the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare’s review of 12,000 cases. In the letter, a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services official said a large number of cases were closed for “failure to provide information” or “failure to return renewal form” at a time when department caseworkers were apparently unable to appropriately sort through the information that people had submitted to verify their eligibility. “We consider DPW’s re-review of closed cases to be an important step toward understanding the drop in Medicaid enrollment overall,” CMS’ director of Medicaid eligibility, Anne Marie Costello, wrote. “Reinstating improperly closed cases is also important, as is rectifying im-

proper procedures, if warranted, to avert inappropriate terminations in the future.” The letter cited an April 18 meeting at which Department of Public Welfare officials said they would reinstate benefits for anyone in the 12,000 cases who was improperly kicked off Medicaid, a federalstate program that provides medical care for the poor and disabled. State officials told CMS that they would use the review to identify patterns that may have led to people improperly losing the benefit. A Department of Public Welfare spokeswoman said Wednesday that the agency is not sure how many people were improperly kicked off Medicaid, but did not dispute that some were. “Human error is something that does occur in instances where you have people processing paperwork … We do our best

to correct it as expeditiously as we can,” spokeswoman Carey Miller said. Miller said the agency did not know how such corrections compare to previous years, but she said agency officials are working to improve the way the department operates, and that they believe they are in compliance with federal rules that govern how Medicaid applications are to be reviewed. According to department numbers, the number of Pennsylvanians covered by Medicaid dropped by about 44,000 to 2.2 million in May from August, when the department aggressively stepped up eligibility reviews. The part that has particularly alarmed advocates for children and the poor is that the number of children covered by Medicaid dropped by 86,000 during that period after rising steadily in the prior years.

Dept. of Energy study to analyze fracking water, pollution

By KEVIN BEGOS Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — A new study being done by the Department of Energy may provide some of the first solid answers to a controversial question: Can gas drilling fluids migrate and pose a threat to drinking water? A drilling company in southwestern Pennsylvania is giving researchers access to a commercial drilling site, said Richard Hammack, a spokesman for the National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh. The firm let scientists conduct baseline tests, allowed tracing elements to be added to hydraulic fracturing fluids and agreed to allow follow-up monitoring. That should let scientists see whether the drilling fluids move upwards or sideways from the Marcellus Shale, which is 8,100 feet deep at that spot. “It’s like the perfect laborato-

ry,” Hammack said. Hammack said he believes this is the first time such research has been done on a commercial gas well. “Conceptually, it sounds like a really great idea,” said P. Lee Ferguson, a Duke University civil and environmental engineering professor who is not involved with the project. “I have wondered about this since I started thinking about fracking. Which compounds are mobile and which aren’t?” The gas is pulled from the ground through a process called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Environmentalists have claimed the fluids associated with drilling could rise and pollute shallow drinking water aquifers. The industry and many government officials say the

practice is safe when done properly, but there have also been cases where faulty wells did cause pollution. Ferguson cautioned that no single study will answer all questions about fracking and the potential for pollution. “The complicating factor is some of the compounds don’t act in the same way underground,” he said of fracking fluids, as well as the fact that there are substantial differences in geology throughout the Marcellus region. Hammack said the study is designed to see whether the fracking fluids or naturally occurring salty brine from deep underground reach a testing area located at about 4,000 feet. “We’re just looking for any indication of communication between the two zones,” he said. If the fluids do rise, more research will be needed, he said. If

they don’t reach the 4,000-foot level, there will be no need to test drinking water aquifers, which are closer to the surface. Other researchers have asked the same question, but have

done so using computer simulations or testing not involving commercial wells. Both methods mean there’s considerable uncertainty about the accuracy of the projections.

Years before it was fashionable, Vangie was a committed walker whose mother, Johanna, used to tease Vangie that she loved walking so much that she should get a job as a mailman. At Wesley Village, she was surrounded by photographs of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she continued to shower with her love.

no said, is the goal to implement the enhancements. Casterline said he appreciates their suggestions but doesn’t believe reminders of the speed limit will do much good. “Hopefully it will work; time will tell,” Casterline said, “Anything’s better than nothing at this point.” Casterline proposed installing stop signs at strategic intersections along the roadway. But PennDOT

shies away from using stop signs as a speed control mechanism. PennDOT spokesman James May said stop signs are not used for speed reductions, though there are exceptions. He said a study was done on using them on this stretch of South Main Street and Middle Road and the result was that “they were unwarranted.” “They came down here predisposed to that idea,” Casterline said and they stuck to those guns during the visit. “They’re hung up on their regulations.

W-B Area names interim leader Board appoints Prevuznak for up to year; board member’s wife gets summer job.

By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – In swift succession Wednesday night, the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board appointed a new interim superintendent and new solicitor, hired one board member’s wife for a part-time summer job, and announced that a long-awaited written teacher hiring policy is completed. The board voted unanimously to make Deputy Superintendent Bernard Prevuznak interim superintendent beginning Sept. 1, the day after Superintendent Jeff Namey retires. Prevuznak’s time in that post is “not to exceed one year,” according to his contract, which also keeps his salary at the current rate of $114,290, plus an annual stipend of $7,200. Prevuznak will hold the position until the board completes its search for Namey’s successor. The board has contracted the Pennsylvania School Boards Association to conduct that search. The board appointed long-time assistant solicitor Ray Wendolowski as solicitor from July 1 this year through June 30, 2013, at a monthly fee of $16,250. That makes a total salary of

medicine camera labs and two cardiac stress testing labs, among other high-tech diagnostic facilities. General Hospital is the largest provider of cardiac surgery in the region, and Catena said the cardiac clinic was designed with the area’s needs in mind. “We have the busiest cardiovascular program in the area, and we felt it important to expand those state-of-the art services for our community,” Catena said. “We did add a string of cardiovascular cath labs, because as we age as a population where more folks are getting cardiac disease, we felt it was important to provide that service in a state-of-the-art facility.” Government and business officials at Wednesday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony touted the economic benefits of the hospital’s expansion. Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leight-

$195,000, considerably less than the $425,000 that was set aside in last year’s budget for both solicitor and assistant solicitor. Legal costs came under scrutiny earlier this year when a Times Leader review showed bills from former solicitor Anthony Lupas, currently facing federal charges he bilked people in an investment scheme unrelated to his school board work, rose six-fold in three years. The school board hired a firm to conduct a forensic audit of bills from both Lupas and Wendolowski dating back to 2006. Board President Maryanne Toole said Wednesday she expects a report on the audit next month. Bob Kadluboski, a frequent critic of the board, asked that any vote on a solicitor be delayed until the report was available, but the board did not take his recommendation. Board member Christine Katsock voted against retaining Wendolowski. Kadluboski also asked board members John Quinn and Dino Galella if they have been lobbying other board members to hire their children in the district. Kadluboski asked Quinn if his son had worked in the district before and been fired. Neither man responded, but after the meeting, Galella said his daughter started working in the district “long before I was on the board,” while Quinn said his son did work one semester in the district and was not fired.

Quinn also said he didn’t know if his son has officially applied for a job with the district. The board voted to hire Mary Ann Susek, Karen Charnichko and Linda Koch for parttime cleaning and maintenance work for eight weeks this summer. James Susek abstained from the vote. Toole said Mary Ann Susek is James Susek’s wife, and she works during the school year for Nutrition Inc., the company contracted to handle district food service. Toole also said the new teacher hiring policy will be posted on the district website this week. The lack of a written policy was revealed in 2009 after several board members were charged in connection with job candidates paying bribes to board members. At the time, two board members said that the board had no written hiring policy, and that members took turns suggesting candidates to be interviewed for a job. Board member Robert Corcoran, who chaired the committee that drew up the policy, said in general, a candidate’s paperwork and application are reviewed and rated using a system granting points for different qualities. Those at the top of that list then would be interviewed and rated on that interview with another point system, before candidates are recommended for a vote.

on noted that the $53 million the hospital and parent company Commonwealth Health System invested is the single largest private sector investment in the city’s history. Bill Moore, CEO of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, added that in addition to providing health care, the hospital “is also a very significant driver of the local economy, and we recognize that.” The new emergency and cardiac DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER departments at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital will open for use at 4 Jill Sobie, director of emergency services, gives a tour of the new a.m. July 19.

OTHER OPINION: MODERN FARMING

Tasty tomatoes need not be tinted

W

HEN CHICKEN farmers switched from using mostly corn feed to other grains, the chickens changed too. Their skin was white instead of yellow. For a while, poultry producers added color to the feed to make the chickens look the way they used to, but when skinless chicken breasts became a popular diet food, customers got used to the sight of white chicken and producers dropped the coloring. Food shoppers are finicky about the colors of their food, and the agriculture industry races to anticipate their desires. But sometimes the industry moves too fast. A new study in the journal Science reveals that when growers began breeding tomatoes for color, they were unwittingly breeding against flavor. A naturally occurring mutation EDITORIAL BOARD

in tomato plants produced uniformly red fruit when ripe, unlike tomatoes that ripened with marks of green or other colors around the stem. By breeding for that mutation, farmers were producing more visually appealing fruit, unaware that the mutation disabled another gene that prompted the fruit to develop sugar. That’s why shoppers have, in the last several years, been willing to shell out major money for deformed-looking heirloom tomatoes that come in funny colors. They taste good. So dear agriculture industry: We’d like our old tomatoes back. And while you’re at it, please dump the peaches that, for all their rosy blush, are as hard as rocks and ripen into uncertain-tasting mush. Los Angeles Times

E-fairness would help retailers survive summer slump MANY BUSINESSES across Pennsylvania are preparing themselves for the usual summer slump. As the owner of a small business, I’ve been here before and I know what it takes to make it through the long summer months until shoppers return in the fall during back-to-school season. However, there’s an even bigger threat to local businesses this summer – one that most people wouldn’t expect. The threat is the lack of tax fairness between brick-and-mortar businesses like mine and online-only retailers. Because online-only businesses do not have to collect the same sales tax as local, brick-and-mortar ones, they are at an automatic price advantage that undercuts our local businesses and undermines our local communities. We need our members of Congress – especially our own U.S. Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming Township – to stand up for what’s right and support efairness legislation such as the Marketplace Equity Act. Right now, the cards clearly are stacked in favor of online-only retailers. While there are many honest advantages to operating at a very low overhead, their main competitive advantage is the ability to skirt local sales tax laws in most states, making their products seem lower in price. Of course consumers would flock to these Internet-only retail-

he recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court upholding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will no doubt result in continued debate regarding how best to provide consistent, high-quality and affordable health care services. No matter what your personal opinion might be, one thing is certain: The time is now for everyone to work together to further enhance services and make care more available for all Americans. Caregivers and insurers must do their parts by continuing their unwavering commitment to quality, innovation and doing what is right and best for patients. In addition to ongoing efforts directed at patient safety, such as eliminating health careassociated infections, this effort must also focus on working with patients to ensure they are receiving the right care at the right place and time – from convenient and primary-care practices to advanced hospital settings. It is time to eliminate unnecessary services that are not helping patients and might, in fact, be detrimental to them. And it is time to implement a best-practice, consistent approach to not only caring for patients’ illnesses and medical conditions,

but also doing all we can to stay healthy in the first place. In addition, the time is past due for caregivers to be compensated for the quality of their care – not simply the volume of care provided. For our country to be able to afford health care moving forward, we must fully develop and embrace paying for performance – quality – rather than quantity. Patients must do their part, too. Much of the money spent on health care services can be attributed to unhealthy lifestyle choices.

PLYMOUTH SHOOTINGS

Bloody sneakers and a gun

Search warrant affidavits reveal grisly finds after Plymouth shooting. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

A grisly inventory of items was revealed when search warrant affidavits were unsealed by a Luzerne County judge late Wednesday afternoon in connection with Saturday’s triple homicide in Plymouth. Bloody sneakers and a loaded .40-caliber handgun were recovered from the Nanticoke apartment of two homicide suspects while eight shell casings were found inside the Plymouth apartment where three people were killed, according to search warrant receipts. Investigators served a

search warrant at 401 First St., Plymouth, where Lisa Abaunza, 15, Nicholas Maldonado, 17, and Bradley Swartwood, 21, were killed on Saturday. A fourth victim, Danny Maldonado, 19, suffered a gunshot wound to his head. The other search warrant gave authorities entry to the rear of 178 E. Ridge St., Nanticoke, where state police believe the alleged killers, Sawud Davis, 16, and his half brother, Shawn Hamilton, 18, resided. According to the inventory receipt of items seized from the Plymouth apartment, eight shell casings to a .40-caliber handgun, three projectiles, a receipt for the purchase of a .380-caliber handgun and its box, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were found inside.

Autopsies revealed Abaunza, Maldonado and Swartwood were shot multiple times, according to the Luzerne County Coroner’s Office. After the shooting, investigators allege Davis and Hamilton were driven to the Wyoming Valley Mall by Brandon Ginthner, 19, of Nanticoke. Ginthner has not been charged. State police allege in arrest records that Davis and Hamilton purchased clothes in Macy’s Department Store. Davis carried his clothes while Hamilton wore the new clothes and discarded his old clothes in a trash can in the mall. Hamilton then went to The Finish Line where he purchased new sneakers and was asked by a store clerk

Bryant said. Bryant had a fight with her fiancé, Danny Maldonado, that night in their apartment at 401 First St., Plymouth. On Saturday, Danny’s 17-year-old brother Nicholas Maldonado, Bradley Swartwood, 21, of Plymouth, and Lisa Abaunza,15, of Duryea, were fatally shot inside the apartment. Nineteen-year-old Danny, who also was shot, remains in critical condition at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. Shawn Hamilton, 18, and his half brother, Sawud Davis, 16, both of Nanticoke and formerly of Philadelphia, are being held without bail in connection with the shootings. At a candlelight vigil for the victims outside the apartment on Wednesday night, Ashley fought back tears as she described her fiancé and their friends whose lives were taken. “It was our year-and-two-month anniversary (Tuesday),” Ashley said. “He’s amazing, he’s the best thing that ever happened to me. He’d bend over backwards for you; he’d do anything for me and I’d do anything for him.” And Danny’s brother and his friends were like family to her and Izabella as well, she said. “I loved Nick, Brad and Lisa to death and I’m so sad they’re gone. Nick was my brother and I’m happy he got to meet his niece. I saw Bradley as Izabella’s uncle, as well. And Lisa was amazing with the baby; she would hold her all the time, she loved her,” Bryant said.

ter. Shawn Hamilton and his half brother, Sawud Davis, fled the apartment where police said they shot and killed the three young friends and critically wounded a fourth Saturday in a drug deal. Hamilton, 18, and Davis, 16, both of Nanticoke and formerly of Philadelphia, were arrested Sunday morning and arraigned on three counts of criminal homicide. “He was like my little brother,” Yolanda Rosario said of Swartwood after she wrote a message to him in chalk on a wooden panel on the building. “He was best friends with my brother. He’s been at my house every other day for the past year. He was a good boy; they all were,” said Rosario, 24, of Nanticoke. Bonnie Banaszek and Katie Harrison, both 19 and of Nanticoke, wore T-shirts they made hours earlier wishing their departed friends peace. “They’ll always be in our hearts,” Harrison said. About a half hour after the vigil began at 7:30 p.m., the mother of the Maldonado brothers spoke to those gathered, providing an update on the only survivor. “My Danny’s in a coma. He’s doing a little better today; he’s opening his eyes a little bit. He’s still on a ventilator for

backup. … Every day we come to see him, it’s been better. I thank God and I pray to God for more miracles to happen with him,” Susana Handelong said. The Maldonado brothers’ father, Danny Sr., came from Newark, N.J., along with other family members to the vigil and to see Danny in the hospital. “It’s very hard,” he said. Handelong invited anyone who wanted to share a thought or memory of the shooting victims to do so, but to form a line in an orderly fashion. “We don’t want to get put out of here. The neighbors here already think we’re kind of lowlifes. We don’t want to portray that. We want to let the police and the neighbors know we’re here with good intentions and we only came here for the common thing that we are mourning the loss of three people and we’re praying for a miracle with my son, Danny,” she said. Calling him her “angel,” Handelong especially thanked David Atkinson, who with John Miller and Josh Miller raised funds for Nicholas’ funeral. And she thanked all those who attended the vigil. “I came here tonight to meet his friends, and this is encouraging, that my kids were so loved that you all came out tonight,” Handelong said.

McDonnell has spent many hours with Barbara Abaunza, Lisa’s mother, since Saturday night. He said Barbara is “a woman of amazing strength.” Barbara Abaunza declined comment for this story.

State police said they found bloody Nike sneakers, receipts for Macy’s and The Finish Line, a loaded .40-caliber handgun, marijuana and heroin packets in the Nanticoke apartment, according to the inventory receipt. In another development, Nanticoke police late Tuesday charged Benyall Richardson, 31, the tenant at the East Ridge Street apartment, with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, flight to avoid apprehension, simple assault and harassment. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $75,000 bail, according to court records.

The Rev. Paul A. McDonnell will deliver the eulogy today at Lisa Abaunza’s funeral.

McDonnell said. “Obviously, their hearts are broken. But Barbara is prepared to give her child to God.” McDonnell said the family wants to make one thing clear: Lisa did not move into the apartment at 401First St., Plymouth, where the shootings occurred. McDonnell said Lisa was still living with

her mother in their home on Marcy Street in Duryea. “Lisa had a lot of friends,” McDonnell said. “She always tried to see the good in everybody – in all people. “Lisa was beautiful, she was intelligent and she did well in school,” McDonnell said. “She was a skilled writer; she won a creative writing award in 8th grade.” McDonnell said Lisa “wrote inspirationally from her heart.” He said she did have some insecurities and she got in with the wrong crowd.

McDonnell knew Lisa when she attended St. Mary’s Assumption School in Pittston, which is now closed. Abaunza was a member of the final graduating class of St. Mary’s Assumption – 2011 was its143rd year. She participated in the annual May crowning at the school, as well as the Living Stations program. Lisa and two others won third place in the school’s computer fair in 2010 and she was active in the literature club. “I was at her 8th grade graduation,” McDonnell said. “She went on to Scranton Prep. You have to have good marks to be accepted there.” Scranton Prep officials declined to talk about Abaunza. A message was posted on the school’s website:

SCANDAL Continued from Page 1A

that Sandusky, its once-revered former assistant football coach — a man who helped Paterno win two national titles for a university that touted “success with honor” — was a serial child molester. Sandusky was convicted on 45 criminal counts last month at a trial that included gut-wrenching testimony from eight young men who said he abused them as boys. By contrast, the Freeh report, to be released online at 9 a.m. today, will focus on Penn State and what it did — or didn’t do — to protect children. Eight months after Sandusky’s arrest, it remains unclear how top university officials handled reports dating back at least 14 years that Sandusky was behaving inappropriately with boys he met through his charity, bringing them on campus and forcing them into sex acts. Among those who will be scouring the Freeh report are school officials trying to repair Penn State’s shattered reputation and ex-players and alumni who remain outraged over Paterno’s ouster in the wake of Sandusky’s arrest. The Hall of Fame coach died from lung cancer in January, two months after school trustees fired him for what they called a failure of leadership. Paterno himself offered a passionate defense of the university and its football program in the letter that surfaced for the first time Wednesday. The Paterno family said the letter was given in draft form to a few former players around December. One of the ex-players circulated it to other former players on Wednesday, and it was posted on the website FightonState.com, which covers the team. “Over and over again, I have heard Penn State officials decrying the influence of football and have heard such ignorant comments like Penn State will no longer be a ‘football factory’ and

we are going to ‘start’ focusing on integrity in athletics,” Paterno wrote. “These statements are simply unsupported by the five decades of evidence to the contrary — and succeed only in unfairly besmirching both a great university and the players and alumni of the football program who have given of themselves to help make it great.” Paterno also wrote, “This is not a football scandal and should not be treated as one.” Among those receiving Paterno’s 712-word missive Wednesday was former linebacker Brandon Short, now an investment banker in Dubai. He told The Associated Press that he will be looking to the Freeh report to find “some clarity, hoping that it is a fair assessment of what happened, and we would love to see answers.” He added, “Let’s see the report and save all judgment and innuendo until after we’ve read it.” Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship, an alumni watchdog group that has been highly critical of the school’s board of trustees, issued a 95-point checklist of issues it said it expects to be covered in Freeh’s report “in order for it to be considered a credible, valid summary of the case.” Lawyers for the young men who testified against Sandusky, and others planning lawsuits, will be reading the findings for what it might mean regarding civil litigation. Joel Feller, part of a legal team that represents several victims in the case, including three who testified against Sandusky, said Wednesday he will look for clues about “who knew what and when.” “I think the Freeh report will be a good starting point to allow the plaintiffs’ lawyers to determine who the key people are and what information they had,” he said. “An important part of that is to figure out when they knew it, and more importantly why appropriate steps were not taken to stop this ongoing conduct of Sandusky.”

T E X T O F PAT E R N O L E T T E R M A D E P U B L I C Joe Paterno’s family has confirmed that the Penn State football coach dictated in December what was meant to be an opinion letter that was shown to a couple of former players. Paterno died of lung cancer in January without the letter being published. The letter was made public Wednesday after being posted on FightonState.com, which covers the team. A family spokesman confirmed its authenticity to The Associated Press and said the Paternos did not release it. A former player who received the letter said it was emailed Wednesday by an unknown ex-player to fellow football team alumni. The letter reads: For the last two months, at the request of the Attorney General’s office, I have not discussed the specifics of my testimony regarding the pending cases. And while I will continue to honor that request, I do feel compelled to address comments made subsequent to November 9; specifically, I feel compelled to say, in no uncertain terms, that this is not a football scandal. Let me say that again so I am not misunderstood: regardless of anyone’s opinion of my actions or the actions of the handful of administration officials in this matter, the fact is nothing alleged is an indictment of football or evidence that the spectacular collections of accomplishments by dedicated student athletes should be in anyway tarnished. Yet, over and over again, I have heard Penn State officials decrying the influence of football and have heard such ignorant comments like Penn State will no longer be a “football factory” and we are going to “start” focusing on integrity in athletics. These statements are simply unsupported by the five decades of evidence to the contrary — and succeed only in unfairly besmirching both a great university and the players and alumni of the football program who have given of themselves to help make it great. For over 40 years young men have come to Penn State with the idea that they were going to do something different — they were coming to a place where they would be expected to compete at the highest levels of college football and challenged to get a degree. And they succeeded — during the last 45 years NO ONE has won more games while graduating more players. The men who made that commitment and who gave of themselves to help build the national reputation of what was once a regional school deserve better than to have their hard work and sacrifice dismissed as part of a “football factory,” all in the interests of expediency. Penn State is not a football factory and it is ALREADY a great University. We have world-class researchers, degree programs, and students in every discipline. Penn Staters have been pioneers in medical advancements, engineering, and in the humanities. Our graduates have gone on to change the world — even graduates with football lettermen sweaters. That is why recent comments are so perplexing and damaging — Penn Staters know we are a world class University. We can recite with pride the ranks of our academic programs and the successes of our graduates. Penn Staters (and employers) know what we are and the quality of our education. Nothing that has been alleged in any way implicates that reputation; rather, it is only the inexplicable comments of our own administration doing so. It must stop. This is not a football scandal and should not be treated as one. It is not an academic scandal and does not in any way tarnish the hard earned and well-deserved academic reputation of Penn State. That Penn State officials would suggest otherwise is a disservice to every one of the over 500,000 living alumni. Forget my career in terms of my accomplishments and look at the last 40 years as I do: as the aggregate achievements of hundreds of young men working to become better people as they got an education and became better football players. Look at those men and what they have done in the world since they left Penn State and assess their contributions as an aggregate — is this a collection of jocks who did nothing but skate by at a football factory, or are these men who earned an education and built a reputation second to none as a place where academic integrity and gridiron success could thrive together? Whatever failings that may have happened at Penn State, whatever conclusions about my or others’ conduct you may wish to draw from a fair view of the allegations, it is inarguable that these actions had nothing to do with this last team or any of the hundreds of prior graduates of the “Grand Experiment.” Penn Staters across the globe should feel no shame in saying “We are . Penn State.” This is a great university with one of the best academic performing football programs in major college athletics. Those are facts — and nothing that has been alleged changes them.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Despite any outward appearances to the contrary, the International League does continue to live. Just not at PNC Field this year. While the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees have set up temporary shop for the season in the Empire State while their home park is rebuilt, they and the rest of the IL’s clubs took time out for the annual Triple-A All-Star Game, staged this year at Coca Cola Field before a sellout crowd of 18,025. The Pacific Coast League won the game 3-0 Wednesday night. While hurler Juan Cedeno (struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning) was the lone Yankees representative in the contest against the PCL squad, the IL was well stocked with fledgling Mets, Phils and Pirates, to name a few. “All the pitchers wanted to throw hard,” said slugging first baseman Valentino Pascucci (Buffalo), a Mets farmhand, “just See BLANKED, Page 3B

But it was a player on one of the Phillies’ top rivals that took the spotlight on the night. Eric Campbell, a prospect for the New York Mets, laced a run-scoring single in the bottom of the ninth inning with two outs to give the East a 5-4 win over the West.

Eagles’ Vick goes from dog fights to fashionista Now-marketable quarterback will launch his own line of clothing later this month, to be sold at Modell’s. By DAN GELSTON AP Sports Writer

PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick’s arrival in Philadelphia sparked angry fans with their dogs to camp outside the Eagles’ practice facility, holding signs and banners to display their outrage. He faced a lengthy and rocky road to re-

demption before he ever threw a pass. Fast forward three years to Wednesday’s scene at a Philadelphia sporting goods store. Happy Eagles fans snaked their way around the sidewalk, lining up more than 21⁄2 hours before Vick was set to sign autographs and promote the launch of his sports clothing line called V7. Inside, a smiling Vick was flanked by members of a local Boys and Girls Club, giddy children standing side by side with their hero quarterback. Vick has already agreed to donate part of the proceeds to the Boys and Girls Club of Philadelphia. His autobiography,

“Finally Free,” will be released later this year. His NFL comeback was already a smashing success. He’s mostly won over a skeptical public as well. While there will always be staunch animal lovers who will never forgive Vick’s role in running a dogfighting ring, his life off the football field has never been better.

e walked to the mound Wednesday to work in his second AllStar game, this time surrounded by Double-A stars he plays with and against in the Eastern League. None of them were more grateful to be there than Kyle Landis -- because there was a time when Landis wasn’t sure if he’d ever pitch at an All-Star level again. The Hazleton native was certain he’d make it back to the bullpen, somehow, even as a mysterious nerve problem in his electric right arm forced Landis to sit out the entire 2010 minor league baseball season while his future in the game became clouded with doubt. But he didn’t know if the performance level he’d come to expect from himself would return with him. “I did not know if I ever was going to be able to pitch like I had pitched,” Landis said. Neither did anyone else. Doctors told Landis he’d suffered a nerve traction injury in his upper right arm, but were unsure how long it would take him to respond to treatment, or if he’d return to full health. “They had never dealt with this kind of injury before, so they couldn’t give any kind of timetable,” Landis said. He thought he was on a fast track to minor league success. Landis made the New York-Penn League All-Star team in his first professional season of 2007 and advanced through the Cleveland Indians lower minor league system the next two years. Then, suddenly, the late-inning relief pitcher known for throwing strikes couldn’t throw at all. A big relief “In 2010, I didn’t play a single game. Didn’t pitch a single inning,” Landis said. Instead, he went to Arizona to rehabilitate his dead right arm. “From May 25 to Dec. 15, I didn’t pick up a ball,” Landis said. He started to wonder “What if?” What if his performance level didn’t match his expectations upon his return? What if the injury ultimately forced him out of the game? “I know I wouldn’t be in too much trouble,” said Landis, 26, who is 30 credits shy of attaining a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy from the University of Pittsburgh. “But it was a scary thought. I wouldn’t want to leave the game that way. “I kind of would like it to be on my own terms.” He’s still in control. Landis made a big return last season, going 9-2 with a 2.15 ERA with 61 strikeouts in 501⁄3 innings out of the bullpen for Single-A Kinston. This season’s been even better for him. In his first full Double-A season, Landis is 4-3 with a 3.77 ERA for the Akron Aeros and he even pitched a three-inning stint for Cleveland’s Triple-A affiliate in Columbus earlier this year. “They trusted me enough to go up there and throw a couple innings for them,” Landis said. “I threw three solid innings. It showed me I can pitch at the next level.” More importantly, these past two seasons proved to Landis he still has the stuff to make his major league dreams someday come true. “It’s a great honor to be selected to any All-Star game,” said Landis, sitting among a clubhouse full of Western Division All-Stars at Reading’s FirstEnergy Stadium. “It’s awesome.” It’s even better when such success comes in the aftermath of so much doubt.

Campbell, who ended the game 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run, wasn’t the only star for the East. The home team’s players represented the R-Phils combining for three hits and three runs – including Troy Hanzawa coming home on Campbell’s hit – and pitcher Jordan Whatcott pitched 2⁄3 of a perfect inning in the ninth.

in a licensing partnership with celebrity clothing-line mogul Ruby Azrak and former ICM talent agent Brian Sher. “Everyone deserves a second chance in life,” Modell’s CEO Mitchell Modell said. Two shirts were emblazoned with Vick’s mottos: “Mental Toughness,” and “It’s Not How You Start. It’s How You Finish.” Vick said developing a clothing

line has not interfered with his preparation for his fourth season with the Eagles. Philadelphia opens training camp July 22 — the same date Vick will launch the fall line of his products. “I never thought I would be a fashion designer,” a laughing Vick said. “But it’s not about me. It’s about making an impact with the community.” Vick said he’s now about associ-

ating with a “smart group of people,” and has long ago dissociated himself with the type of crowd that helped land him in prison. Vick said he grew tired of fans asking when a new shoe was coming out, so he teamed with a younger cousin to develop the clothing line. Vick led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 10-6 record and an NFC East title in 2010, and was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year. He faced injuries and inconsistent performances in the 2011 season. This season begins Sept. 5. “Usually, I don’t want to go to camp,” Vick said. “But this year, I feel like, we’re going to have fun with it. We’re really going to enjoy it, make the most out of it, and I look forward to a big year.” When Vick signed with the Eagles before the 2009 season, it seemed like nothing more than a brief stop before he moved on elsewhere to a starting job. But Donovan McNabb, and then Kevin Kolb, were traded, and Vick flourished to again become one of the elite QBs in the NFL. He revived his career, rehabbed his image, and has no doubt Philadelphia was the town he needed to be in all along.

New Hampshire’s fans may have had the most to be excited about. Toronto’s Double-A affiliate was represented by Eric McDade, who went 4-for-4 with a double and two RBI to pace the East’s offense. Yankees prospect Brett Marshall started the game for the East and tossed two innings. The Trenton 22-year-old struck out the first batter of the game, Harrisburg’s Eury Perez then allowed singles to the next two batters before inducing a double-play grounder to end the scoreless inning. In the second inning, the right-hander walked the leadoff batter, Akron’s Thomas Neal, who stole second and scored on a single by National prospect Chris Rahl, from Harrisburg, as the West evened the score at 1-1. Marshall got another double-

play grounder to end the inning. On the night in his two innings, he allowed three hits, one run and a walk. For local flavor, Hazleton Area grad Kyle Landis pitched a perfect inning for the West. He threw the fourth inning and was the first pitcher for the West to retire the side in order. The Akron (Cleveland Indians) pitcher got Reading’s Sebastian Valle to fly out, and Trenton’s Melky Mesa and Goins to ground out. Reading batters came through in the bottom of the third as the East opened a 3-1 lead. Phillies infielder Cesar Hernandez singled in front of teammate Darin Ruf, who doubled. Both runners scored when McDade singled and Mark Sobolewski hit a fielder’s choice. But the West came right back the next half inning as Erie (De-

troit Tigers) first baseman Jordan Lennerton walloped a tworun homer off New Hampshire’s Yohan Pino in the top of the fourth to even the score at 3. Lennerton had a big game going 2-for-3 with three RBI. A couple of Mets prospects playing for Binghamton came through for the East in the bottom of the fifth to give the East a 4-3 lead. Campbell doubled in the frame and scored a sacrifice fly by his teammate Jefry Marte. The West wouldn’t be denied though and tied the score at 4-4 in the top of sixth on a sacrifice fly from Lennerton. Yankee prospects Mesa (0for-4), Mahoney (1-for-3) also played for the East, while Trenton pitcher Kelvin Perez pitched a scoreless eighth allowing two hits and notching a strikeout.

VICK Wednesday’s event. He’s among the highest-paid players in the NFL, is back pitching products, and he continues filming public service announcements to warn of the dangers of animal cruelty. “It’s all about proving to the kids, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish,” Vick said. “It’s still not over. I’ve still got to walk the straight line each and every day. I’m trying to do things that’s going to be appealing, and make sense, and allow kids to dreams and have ambition. To have goals. That’s what it’s all about.” The line mixes football and fashion and is the latest image-restoration move for Vick, who spent 18 months in federal prison after being convicted of bankrolling a dogfighting ring and was released in 2009. The line includes technical athletic clothing such as Tshirts, shorts and tank tops. Prices are $12.99 for children’s clothes and $19.99 for adult clothes. The line will be sold exclusively at East Coast sporting goods chain Modell’s and was developed

Veilleux returning The Times Leader staff

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins re-signed defenseman Joey Mormina to a one-year American Hockey League contract on Wednesday. Mormina returns to WilkesBarre/Scranton for his second straight season and fourth overall with the organization. In 2011-12, he finished tied for second among team defensemen with 21 points (6g-15a) in 59 games. The 30-year old blueliner has recorded 43 points (10g-33a) and 185 penalty minutes over 179 contests with the Penguins. During his seven seasons as a pro, Mormina has compiled 21 goals and 82 assists over 456 career AHL games with Manchester, Albany, Adirondack, and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. He has also appeared in one NHL contest with the Carolina Hurricanes. Originally from Montreal, Mormina was a sixth-round selection (193rd overall) of the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2002 NHL entry draft. He began his professional career in 2005-06 after skating four years of collegiate hockey at Colgate University. Also on Wednesday, Pittsburgh resigned defenseman Carl Sneep and forward Keven Veilleux to one-year contracts. Both players signed two-way deals worth $525,000 at the NHL level. Sneep, 24, made his NHL debut this past season, notching an assist against the Buffalo Sabres on Dec. 17. The 6-foot-4 blueliner spent

Connolly added a run-scoring double in the third to make it 9-0. Dunmore didn’t help itself in the field, making three errors in the first two innings and another in American’s five-run fifth that shortened the game by an inning. “The kids hit the ball really well in practice,” Joe Phillips said. “And we were fortunate where the other team misplayed some balls and gave us some momentum. It kind of got contagious from there.” American also received solid pitching from starter Ostroski and relievers Justin Finarelli and McCrum. The trio allowed five hits and just two earned runs.

like all the hitters wanted to come out and have a good game. When the game kicks in, your competitive edge kicks in as well. Everybody wants to do well.” Pascucci, who thrilled the hometown crowd by winning Monday’s Home Run Derby, said that he and the other All-Stars view the minor leagues’ All-Star showcase event as a chance to keep their big league dreams alive. “This is a place to get recognized,” said Pascucci, 33, one of a dwindling number of active players to have played for the Montreal Expos. “You never know what’s going to happen. People might see what you do here, and it gives you a little nudge in the right direction. If something like that came along, that would be great.” Pascucci finished with a double and three walks for the IL. Recognition was never a problem for Russ Canzler (Columbus), who was a multi-sport star at Hazleton Area High School. Canzler has since carved out a strong minor league career, witness his selection as the IL’s Most Valuable Player last year while with Durham. Traded to Cleveland during the winter, Canzler got off to a slow start, but has rebounded to havea strong season with the Clippers (12 HR, 50 RBI, .275)

the majority of the campaign with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, tallying 10 assists and a plus-5 rating in 40 regular-season games. Pittsburgh’s second-round draft pick (32nd overall) in 2006, Sneep has played in 101 career AHL regular-season games, notching 27 points (4g-23a) and a plus-22 rating. The St. Louis Park, Minn., native has also appeared in two AHL playoff games for WBS. Sneep played four seasons of collegiate hockey at Boston College from 2006-10, winning a pair of NCAA national titles in 2008 and ’10. Sneep’s best year came as a senior in ’09-10 when he established personal bests with 11 goals, 17 assists and 28 points – earning him a spot on the All-Hockey East honorable mention team. Veilleux, 23, missed the entire ’11-12 season due to a knee injury. The 6-foot-5, 218-pound forward has played in 75 career AHL regular-season contests with WBS, totaling 14 goals, 25 assists, 39 points and 134 penalty minutes. Veilleux has added four points (2g-2a) in 11 AHL playoff games. Veilleux, who hails from Saint-Renee, Quebec, split four seasons of junior hockey between Victoriaville and Rimouski of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League between 200509. He tallied 59 goals, 187 points and 17 power-play goals in 193 regular-season games. Veilleux was drafted by the Penguins in the second round (51st overall) of the 2007 NHL draft. They benefited from a strong defense that included an unassisted double play by shortstop Phillips in the second inning.

while trying to work his way to the big leagues to stay. “At the beginning of the season,” Canzler said, “I was putting a little bit too much pressure on myself. I have high expectations for myself. That can be my downfall, a little bit. I came in trying to do too much. I think this game’s hard enough. When you put too much pressure on yourself, that makes it that much harder.” Canzler said that while having a three-day break during the middle of the season would have been nice, he wouldn’t have wanted to pass up an All-Star invitation. “This is a lot of fun,” Canzler said. “Pretty cool. Sometimes three days off can be detrimental. You get away from the game for a few days and sometimes you get out of the swing of things, because it takes a couple days to get back into it. “It was good to be on the same side as some of these guys. Especially some of the pitchers.” Canzler struck out in his only at-bat. The Lehigh Valley IronPigs, who sit atop the IL Northern Division, had a strong presence, including Tyler Cloyd, the IL’s starting pitcher. Infielder Kevin Frandsen (0for-2, strikeout) and manager Ryne Sandberg were also on hand. Former Yankee reliever Jonathan Albaladeljo (Reno) was in the Pacific Coast League bullpen. He got the save, fanning one while recording the final two outs.

MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Strasburg dilemma is looming Nationals must decide what to do with their prized hurler with arm troubles in his past. By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON — Stephen Strasburg chuckled the moment the subject was broached. His response sounded as if it had been memorized off a note card. “I have no clue how many innings I’m going to throw this year,” he said. “I’ve answered that question multiple times, and nobody’s said anything to me. I feel great right now.” The All-Star right-hander keeps hearing the question because he’s in the middle of a real head-scratcher. If the Washington Nationals are still looking like World Series contenders in September, will they really follow through with the plan to shut down their ace a month early? That’s been the plan all along. It’s the accepted medical norm for a pitcher coming back from Tommy John surgery. The plug will be pulled somewhere around 160 innings, just as it was last year for TJ-comeback teammate Jordan Zimmermann, whose season came to an abrupt halt when he hit 161 1-3 on Aug. 28. But this year’s Nationals hit the break at 15 games over .500 and with a four-game lead in the NL East — and Strasburg having thrown 100 innings, including a scoreless frame in Tuesday night’s All-Star game. Remember, no major league baseball team in Washington has made the postseason since 1933. The Strasburg plan seemed OK back in spring training when optimistic scenarios had the club perhaps in the mix for the brand new second wild-card berth, but now they might literally have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give the city a championship. “Last year we almost got to .500, and I felt for sure the pro-

made in the first year of baseball’s expanded postseason. The Fall Classic will be a little wilder this time around. A new format kicks in this year that adds an extra wild card team to each league. That means 10 teams will have a chance to get in and go for it all. The Orioles, who trail the Yankees by seven games in the AL East, haven’t been to the postseason since 1997, the Pirates haven’t been there since 1992 and the nation’s capital hasn’t hosted a playoff baseball game since 1933, when Mel Ott homered in Game 5 of the World Series to help the New York Giants beat the Senators for the championship. TRADE BAIT: Several big names figure to be trading places by the end of the month as teams

gression here was we could come close to winning 90 games if everything fell into place and we started doing the things I knew we were capable of doing,” manager Davey Johnson said. “We got us more arms during the offseason, and they really helped me with the bench. There are more weapons here now to where we have progressed more rapidly.” Regardless, the Nationals aren’t budging on The Strasburg Plan — at least not so far. General manager Mike Rizzo figures this young roster is poised to be a contender for years to come, so there’s no use risking a gifted talent like Strasburg by pushing him too hard with a freshly reconstructed elbow. Johnson, who usually doesn’t analyze the schedule far in advance, said he’s already looked at the September slate to figure out how to approach it without his

best pitcher. “I was curious as to who we were playing and what our schedule was that last month — absent Strasburg,” Johnson said. “What type of pitcher might fit in best for going against the clubs that we’re going to play that month.” Strasburg threw 99 innings in 17 starts before the break, going 9-4 with a 2.82 ERA. At this pace, he would probably hit his innings limit around the first week of September. Of course, it’s not as if the Nationals would suddenly fall off the earth without him. They’ve had the top rotation in the majors for much of the season with fellow All-Star Gio Gonzalez, Zimmermann, Edwin Jackson and Ross Detwiler all sporting ERAs under 4.00. Chien-Ming Wang was supposed to be the fifth starter, but he’s struggled and can’t stay

healthy, depriving the team of one reliable candidate to take Strasburg’s spot when the time comes. The Nationals, in fact, have made it a habit of winning without everyone on board. Catcher Wilson Ramos is out for the year. Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, closer Drew Storen and outfielders Michael Morse and Jayson Werth are among those who have spent extended time either on the disabled list or hobbled with injuries. “I don’t know any club that could lose your 3-hole hitter, your 4-hole hitter, your 5-hitter, your starting catcher, your closer and done what we’ve accomplished in the first half,” Johnson said. “And we’re going to get healthier in the second half, so I think the pressure that we’ve had to deal with to this point has been a lot more than is going to be coming in the second half.”

look for that extra edge to push them into the postseason. Felix Hernandez, RHP, Mariners: Seattle has been adamant that it is not considering moving King Felix. But if they ever would, now may be the time. The 26year-old is 6-5 with a 3.13 ERA and is signed through 2014. He’s already topped 1,500 innings pitched in his young career and the Mariners appear nowhere close to contending. Francisco Liriano, LHP, Twins: Got off to a horrendous start to the season and was moved to the bullpen. But it’s what have you done for me lately, and the lefty who will be a free agent this winter is 3-2 with a 2.74 ERA and .175 opponents’ batting average since rejoining the rotation. Last-place Twins need young assets, and Liriano may be best trade chip. Cole Hamels, LHP, and Shane Victorino, OF, Phillies: The Phils already moved Charlie Manuel favorite Jim Thome. Now these two mainstays, who are eligible

for free agency at the end of the season, could be available for the right price. Carlos Quentin, OF, Padres: Any team looking for some proven power should consider Quentin, who topped 20 homers in each of the past four years for the White Sox. In his first season in spacious Petco Park, Quentin has just seven homers and could benefit from a change of scenery.

him out for a while. In the meantime, the Rays will try to stay within shouting distance of the Yankees and the wild card without their leader. Matt Kemp, OF, Dodgers: He has emerged as perhaps the best player in the game, a “five-tool guy” who has given the Dodgers their swagger. But he’s played in just two games since May 14 because of a strained left hamstring, the kind of injury that can linger if it’s not taken care of properly. Stephen Strasburg, RHP, Nationals: He has shown no ill effects coming off Tommy John surgery, which will make the second half all the more intriguing for the Nationals and their young flamethrower. GM Mike Rizzo has said that the team intends to hold Strasburg to an innings limit and will shut him down once he reaches that point to try to avoid another major arm injury. But if the Nats are in contention for a title, will they be able to hold true to that?

KEY INJURIES: These guys better get healthy if their teams expect to have a chance to play into October. CC Sabathia, LHP, Yankees: On the disabled list with a strained left groin, the Yankees desperately need their horse back at the top of the rotation. With Andy Pettitte out until late August at the earliest with a fractured left ankle, big No. 52 is more important than ever in New York. Evan Longoria, 3B, Rays: Longoria is on the shelf with a torn left hamstring that could keep

Ratings set record low for All-Stars

Lowrie emerges as consistent threat

Pitcher Gee could face further surgery for blood clot problem

The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The National League’s 8-0 victory set a record low rating for baseball’s All-Star game, just 4 hundredths of a point below last year’s figure. The blowout over the American League on Tuesday night, which had the third-highest victory margin in All-Star history, received a 6.8 rating and 12 share on Fox and was seen by an average audience of 10.9 million. The NL’s 5-1 win last year drew a 6.9/12 and was seen by an average audience of 11 million. Still, the total audience that watched any portion of the game was 27.7 million, up 7 percent from last year.

The Associated Press

HOUSTON — Houston’s Jed Lowrie was eager to become a starter when he was traded from Boston in December after injuries left him in a utility role. Lowrie took over as the Astros’ everyday shortstop and quickly became one of the high points of Houston’s tough first half. He leads the team with a career-high 14 homers and has helped the development of second baseman Jose Altuve. He is hitting .254 with 71 hits and 36 RBIs for the Astros. His 14 home runs in 2012 are the most by a shortstop in the first

half of the season in franchise history and second-most by shortstop in the NL this season. “It’s pretty rare to have that, especially the power from those guys,” Houston manager Brad Mills said. “Both those guys being a catalyst for our offense is huge.” Lowrie is certainly happy with his outburst, but knows that the key will be keeping it up after the break. “I’m not going to get caught up in my numbers halfway through the season,” he said. “I know what I’m doing right now; I know if I just keep my head down and keep the same approach I’m going to continue to have the success that I’ve had.”

Extension granted to Armstrong

Cycling star has 30 extra days to prepare to address doping charges presented by USADA. By JIM VERTUNO AP Sports Writer

AUSTIN, Texas — The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency on Wednesday granted Lance Armstrong an extension of up to 30 days to contest drug charges while the seventime Tour de France winner challenges the case in federal court. The move erases the Saturday deadline for Armstrong to either send the case to arbitration or accept sanctions from USADA, which would likely include a lifetime ban from cycling and other sports along with stripping the Tour titles he won from 19992005. Armstrong this week sued in U.S. District Court in Austin to block the case from moving forward, arguing that USADA’s arbitration process violates his constitutional rights and that the agency doesn’t have jurisdiction over the alleged doping violations. Granted the extension, Armstrong attorney Tim Herman on Wednesday withdrew a request for a temporary restraining order while Judge Sam Sparks reviews the complaint and a request for an injunction. USADA accused Armstrong in June of performance-enhancing drug use throughout much of his career. Armstrong insists he is innocent and says he never failed a drug test. Travis Tygart, USADA’s chief executive, predicted Armstrong’s lawsuit will be dismissed. “USADA believes this lawsuit, like previous lawsuits aimed at concealing the truth, is without merit and is confident the court will continue to uphold the established rules which are compliant with federal law and were approved by athletes, the U.S. Olympic Committee, and all Olympic sports organizations,” Tygart said in a statement. Johan Bruyneel, the manager on Armstrong’s winning teams, who also has been charged, is not covered by the 30-day extension, even though USADA had consolidated their cases, USADA spokeswoman Annie Skinner said. Bruyneel still faces a Saturday deadline to challenge the charges or be sanctioned, Skinner said. Bruyneel, who manages the Radioshack-Nissan-Trek team, skipped this year’s Tour de France because of the investigation. RadioShack-Nissan-Trek team spokesman Philippe Maertens declined to comment, and said he was “100 percent sure” that Bruyneel didn’t want to comment. Three former medical staff members and consultants on Armstrong’s winning teams received lifetime bans from sport from USADA on Tuesday.

As climbs begin, the French star pedals to a victory despite rumors, wonky knee. By JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press Writer

BELLEGARDE-SUR-VALSERINE, France — Thomas Voeckler nearly opted out of the Tour de France weeks ago because of an injured knee. Two days before the start, he was pained even more over allegations of doping by his French team. On Wednesday, the crowdpleasing Frenchman gave his response — by winning the 10th stage. An in-your-face, trash-talking atmosphere dominated as riders entered the Alps on Wednesday with Bradley Wiggins retaining the yellow jersey by squashing attacks by rivals — one of whom complained that the Briton wasn’t being respectful. The mood was decidedly sour before the 120.9-mile ride began along three hard climbs, after Tuesday’s rest day was marred by an arrest by French police of a Cofidis team rider over a Marseille doping probe. Doping cases past and present have cast a shadow over this Tour. Voeckler, too, was burdened by the issue of doping. Two days before the Tour start, a French newspaper brought to light a previously unknown probe of his Europcar team on allegations of improper use of a controlled corticoid by its riders during last year’s Tour — a claim the team vigorously denies. Some fans in Belgium, where the Tour started on June 30, booed Europcar riders following the news. Voeckler’s victory was “really special because we had criticism before the Tour, because it really hurt me,” he said. His victory “is a part of my answer — not my revenge — an answer” to the critics. Wiggins, too, and his Team Sky sent a message on Wednesday: Getting the yellow jersey off him won’t be easy. Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali, one of several rivals who tried to strip it, complained of a lack of respect from the Briton. At several points during the stage, Wiggins came under attack from his biggest rivals, but nearly all failed to make up any ground. Nibali tried to surge ahead in a big descent, Belgium’s Jurgen Van Den Broeck attempted to jump ahead on the day’s big climb, and reigning champion Cadel Evans tried to shake Wiggins near the end — to no avail. “Wiggins looked at me at the finish and I really did not like the way he did it,” said Nibali, who won the Spanish Vuelta in 2010 and is fourth overall at the Tour. “He also gestured with his hand in an unpleasant way. “They are really strong at the moment, but he should show

more respect for his competitors,” Nibali said. Sky has controlled the Tour in a style reminiscent of that of the former U.S. Postal team of Lance Armstrong, who is facing allegations by U.S. anti-doping officials that he used performance-enhancing drugs. Wiggins has bristled at the comparison of the teams in social media. On Wednesday, notably after the new Cofidis case, the Briton said he understood questions on doping in cycling “from some parts of the media,” but insisted he got to where he is through hard work. “I don’t feel like I have to sit here and justify to everyone ... To me, it’s them pissing all over everything I’ve done by just saying ‘he’s cheating’ — or whatever. And that’s what really gets to me,” he said. Wiggins also echoed comments in the past by Armstrong, who repeatedly said he never failed a drug test and said during his career that he was the world’s most-tested athlete for doping. “Tested by the UCI — God knows how many times a year, God knows how many times on this race, and on the Dauphine; blood tested every morning and all that,” Wiggins said, refer-

Tiger: ‘Only 1 of us has won 4 in a row’ The Associated Press

SILVIS, Ill. — Looking for advice on how to win the same golf tournament four years in a row, Steve Stricker went to the authority: Tiger Woods. Woods has won four straight times at the same tournament twice. Stricker goes for a fourth straight in the John Deere Classic, which starts Thursday at Deere Run. Woods’ advice was more of an order. “He told me to get it done,” Stricker said. “And he also threw me a jab, saying ‘Only one of us has won four in a row.’ “ Stricker’s victory last year was the most dramatic of the three. He birdied the last two holes, the 18th by rolling in a 25-footer from the

fringe after a difficult approach shot, to overhaul Kyle Stanley. Stricker, among the most mild-mannered Stricker pros, celebrated with a first class fist-pump. Winning three in a row at a PGA Tour tournament has been accomplished only 26 times, most recently when Woods captured a third, and then fourth, title in San Diego from2005-2008.NowStrickertries to equal that. “I know it’s going to be hard, a big challenge, but I’ve got a lot of good vibes coming here,” Stricker said. “This has been a great ride. I like to deer hunt, and I see that deer (statue) every morning coming in here. If there’s any tournament I’ve been meant to win, I guess it’s this one.” Stricker, 23rd on the Tour’s money list, called himself more relaxed

than he has been as defending champion the last two years. The run to three straight titles probably wouldn’t even have begun but for the tournament’s charter jet to the British Open site, which started in 2008. “The year before, seven players went from our tournament to the (British) Open, and they all lost their luggage at Heathrow,” said tournament director Clair Peterson. “We felt we had to do something.” It boosted the depth of the John Deere field considerably. While only 16 of the top 50 on the Tour’s money list are playing, 34 players in the field have won in the last two years. Stricker wasn’t alone in finding the charter the clinching reason to play the week before the British Open. This week, 25 players are expected to take the non-stop flight. A 26th will join them if he finishes in the top five and isn’t otherwise qualified.

ring to international cycling’s governing body UCI and the Criterium du Dauphine race. “What more can I do than that?” For the first time in the Tour, the peloton scaled the 10.9-mile Grand Colombier pass — classified as one of the hardest climbs in pro cycling in part for two tough patches with steep, 12 percent gradients. Voeckler, who once had the yellow jersey taken off him by Armstrong and wore it again last year for 10 days, earned his third Tour stage victory in a decade-long career competing in cycling’s premier race. Near the finish, Voeckler dusted off a breakaway group, beating runner-up Michele Scarponi of Italy by 3 seconds. Jens Voigt of Germany — at 40, the oldest rider this year — was third, another 4 seconds slower. Voeckler said he didn’t ride for about 10 of the 20 days immediately preceding the Tour start because of knee pain that still hasn’t fully gone away — and almost kept him from competing altogether. “It was pretty straightforward today,” said Wiggins, the Team Sky leader. “Fortunately the break went pretty early and we didn’t have to go crazy (chasing it) ... it all sort of went to script today, really.”

The Miami Heat got two more shooters. The Orlando Magic, at least for now, are keeping their center. A flurry of deals were completed Wednesday and another one was put on hold on the first day contracts could be signed in the NBA. Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis inked their deals with the NBA champions, who will rely on their perimeter accuracy to create more space on the floor for LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. The Spurs announced Tim Duncan was staying in San Antonio and the Knicks completed a sign-and-trade to bring Marcus Camby to New York. But there’s no deal for the best big man of them all in the NBA right now. The Magic can’t find an agreement they like for All-Star center Dwight Howard, who has asked for a trade to Brooklyn. The Magic have tried to accommodate, only to find nothing from the Nets that fit their desires.

Free agency opened July 1 and teams were able to begin signing players at 12:01 a.m. EDT Wednesday. Deron Williams got a quick start, signing his five-year, $98 million extension with the Nets while in Las Vegas for the U.S. Olympic team’s training camp right after the window opened. Even though he hasn’t been able to get Howard, Nets general manager Billy King kept Williams, traded for All-Star guard Joe Johnson, kept starting forward Gerald Wallace and will likely do the same with center Brook Lopez. Things are looking up for another longtime lowly team, the Los Angeles Clippers. Blake Griffin wanted to be a part of it, signing a five-year extension that could play him about $95 million. Another good 3-point shooter, Ryan Anderson, has a new home. After winning the NBA’s Most Improved Player award, he was dealt by the Magic to New Orleans for Mexican Gustavo Ayon. The Hornets have three days to decide if they want Eric Gordon. He signed an offer sheet in Phoenix for four years and $58 million, but New Orleans has three days to match the deal for the restricted free agent.

Belmont champ Union Rags out for year with ligament injury By RICHARD ROSENBLATT AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — First I’ll Have Another, now Union Rags. Injuries to the left front legs of both 3-year-old colts have left thoroughbred racing without its classic winners for the rest of the year, and beyond. Belmont Stakes winner Union Rags is out with a ligament injury, but could return to the races next year, the colt’s veterinarian Kathy Anderson said Wednesday. The news comes just over a month after Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner I’ll Have Another was retired with a tendon injury the day before the Belmont, which ended his chance to become the first Triple Crown winner in 34 years. Union Rags, considered the

top 3-year-old in training after his Belmont win, has a “small lesion of his high suspensory,” said Anderson, but added his prognosis is “excellent” for a return in 2013. The injury likely occurred after a July 6 workout. “He is scheduled to undergo treatment and therapy immediately with the goal of keeping his options open for 2013,” Anderson said in a news release issued by Fair Hill Training Center in Elkton, Md. “Needless to say his owners, trainer and all connections are extremely disappointed with this turn of events, but we believe that this early diagnosis and treatment combined with rest will ultimately favor his full recovery and future success.” The same cannot be said for I’ll Have Another.

NEW YORK — A plunge in the price of natural gas has made it cheaper for utilities to produce electricity. But the savings aren’t translating to lower rates for all customers. Instead, average U.S. electricity prices are going up. Electricity prices are forecast to rise slightly this summer. But any increase is noteworthy because natural gas, which is used to produce nearly a third of the country’s power, is 43 percent cheaper than a year ago. A long-term downward trend in power prices could be starting to reverse, analysts say. “It’s caused us to scratch our heads,” says Tyler Hodge, an analyst at the Energy Department who studies electricity prices. Locally, PPL Electric raised its residential rate by 15 percent June 1, to 7.993 cents per kilowatt hour. But that’s still below any previous summer rate since 2010 and about one-third less than the expected national average of12.4 cents per kwh. UGI Electric lists a residential rate of 8.173 cents per kwh on its website, and has credited its ability to keep rates down to the lower cost of generation using Marcellus Shale gas. The recent heat wave that gripped much of the country increased demand for power and that may boost some June utility bills. But the nationwide rise in electricity prices is attributable to other factors, analysts say, including advance purchases of natural gas and other fuels at higher prices and the need to invest in transmission lines and equipment that have been neglected for years. Times Leader business editor Ron Bartizek contributed to this report.

OraSure stock offering

OraSure Technologies said Tuesday it will issue 6,100,000 shares of common stock at a price of $12.30 per share. The company expects net proceeds of $70.2 million after expenses. The Bethlehem company’s stock has been riding high since it got U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval last week to sell the first test that allows people to check themselves for HIV at home. The OraQuick In-Home HIV test is expected to be available in early October. The offering is expected to close on July 16.

Nick Guetterman of Bucyrus, Kansas, stands in what would normally be a waist deep section of a farm pond. In one hand, he holds the tiny ears of corns taken from a nearby field that was not irrigated. In the other hand, he holds full-sized ears taken from plants in the field where irrigation has nearly emptied the pond.

Drought may hike food prices WASHINGTON – A punishing Midwest drought may lead to food inflation as the cost of corn soars and the price of a key feedstock for ranchers rises. Experts warn it could mean higher costs for everything from a hamburger to a gallon of milk in the months ahead. “Farmers are going to have higher feed prices. We’re definitely going to see food inflation coming into the equation,” said Phil Flynn, a veteran commodities trader for the PFGBest brokerage in Chicago. “I think we’re at the point of bigger problems.

He says the move will create 28 new jobs at Marcus Hook and protect a total of more than 200 across Pennsylvania. Braskem will receive $15 million in state support for the acquisition.

IN THE PAST few weeks I’ve observed or experienced at least five device-related mishaps. The first was when our dog stepped on the cord to my laptop, yanking it off the table and sending it tumbling face down onto the hardwood floor. Then my fiancée knocked her phone off the table, shattering the display. Later that night, I did the same thing. Fortunately, with some self-made repairs and extended warranties, no lasting damage was done. But it prompted some thought about durability. The laptop that broke was a brand new Asus. A much older Dell laptop

stead, corn has sold this week at nearly $7.50 a bushel. On Wednesday the price fluctuated wildly after the USDA predicted the crop would be smaller than expected but demand also would be off, closing at $7.04 Michael Miller, the senior vice president of global research for the Denver-based National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, said the higher cost adds about $75-$80 more per head of cattle in production costs, which in turn could lead to an increase of as much as 6 percent when reaching consumers. And that’s if the drought doesn’t get worse.

one of the most critical weeks, and we didn’t get the rain that we needed.” Big users of grains, namely ranchers who depend on corn as a feedstock for their animals, are taking the first hit. Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that farmers had planted 96.4 million acres of corn – the greatest amount since 1937, as the nation was coming out of the Great Depression. This year’s huge corn planting anticipated growing demand in an improving U.S. economy and from big developing countries such as China. That led cattlemen to expect corn prices in the range of $5 a bushel. In-

maybe a few dollars. If you canceled your credit cards and alerted the right people, that could be the end of it. Now, if a criminal takes your phone, you’ve lost not only a valuable piece of hardware but all of your contacts, emails and information contained within it – potentially including your banking information. It’s possible to take precautions against this, but how many people have done so? I’d wager most people haven’t. Rather than cash, the more technology you carry around, the more vulnerable you are – both to accidents and criminals.

almost inevitable it will become more fragile. Let’s set aside the fact that these devices are all costly and becoming more necessary, and the fact that the economy is still terrible so being able to afford them hasn’t gotten any easier. In a few years, things could progress to the point where everyone essentially becomes a walking insurance claim. Trip and fall on the street with your laptop bag, and you could be out $5,000 just like that. And it’s not just the devices that are at risk. The information stored on them is valuable, as well – and it can be impossible to retrieve, depending on the nature of the damage or loss. Even getting mugged has changed.

Looks like our temperatures will be trending above normal well into next week. But this is usually the time of the year when we have our hottest weather. But with only a quarter inch of rain in the past 16 days, the ground is very dry. It is usually not quite this dry until August. Thankfully, our water supply is still in good shape, so the golf courses can stay soft and green. But I suppose most homeowners prefer to let their lawns stay brown and dormant until the rains return. It looks like they will this weekend, but as is common in summer, some areas can be dumped on while other areas get only a few drops.

he structure is so high it blots out the sun, looming hundreds of feet above ground. It’s a mammoth of twisted metal machinery unforgiving to those who dare take it on – and Carol Rensa could not care less. • “Nope, never fear,” the 43year-old roller-coaster fanatic from Wilkes-Barre said of how she feels before getting on a thrill ride. “It’s pure exhilaration. I love knowing I’m going hundreds of feet up in the air.” • The trackand-car rides date to the 1800s, and they’ve only grown taller and taken on more twists and turns since. Local aficionados have witnessed these changes, having ridden the rides since they were younger, traveling far and wide to seek out an adrenaline rush.

Rensa believes she gets her love of coasters from her mom, Eve. “She was a roller-coaster freak,” Rensa said. “She went on them as long as she could, even into her early 60s when she had arthritis. It was only when that got bad that she stopped.”

The Mean Streak at Cedar Point in Ohio certainly made these riders happy. Clockwise from bottom right are Adam Burdett, Tony Confletti, Laurie Burdett and Frank Dushok.

Adam Burdett, 36, of Edwardsville started riding coasters when he was 10, getting over his initial fear after watching his brother and sister go on the rides time and again. Now he hits the road for the sole purpose of riding coasters. “I’ve gone to King’s Island in

Cincinnati, Ohio, as south as Virginia for King’s Dominion and Busch Gardens and also to Disney,” he said. Rensa has gone as far as Canada’s Wonderland, but most of her traveling happened in her college days, when she was part of the Penn State Blue

Band and had the chance to go to Bowl games and far-flung places, even out to California. Despite the mileage these ride warriors have incurred, their hearts lie with a coaster that’s a bit closer to See RUSH, Page 2C

When John Tlapa looked in the mirror, his nose looked like he “could pick a door lock,” he said. It resembled “a hook with a point on it. It was pretty ugly.” So two years ago, the San Diegobased screenwriter underwent rhinoplasty to improve his profile and fix a deviated septum that had plagued him for almost 40 years. Tlapa, 54, is part of a trend that, in recent years, has seen increasing numbers of men seeking cosmetic surgery. In 2011, 9 percent of surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic procedures in the U.S. were conducted on men, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery — a 121 percent increase since 1997. While the number of cosmetic surgical procedures performed in the United States increased just 1 percent from 2010 to 2011, the number of males getting liposuction and eyelid surgeries is on the rise. More than 41,000 lipoplasty procedures and almost 23,000 eyelid surgeries were performed on men in 2011, increasing 14 percent and 6 percent, respective“The taboo is lift- ly. Women in reing for men. In the cent years have past few years, been trending toward minimally plastic surgery is invasive cosmetic everywhere. All treatments such those nip-and-tuck as Botox and Resshows have brought talyne, but the plastic surgery to a fastest-growing cosmetic procecommon ground.” dures for men are Renato Saltz surgical. LiposucBoard-certified plastic tion tops the list surgeon in Park City, of most common Utah cosmetic surgical procedures performed on men, followed by rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, male breast reduction and face-lifts. “The taboo is lifting for men,” said Renato Saltz, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Park City, Utah, who is also vice president of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. “In the past few years, plastic surgery is everywhere. All those nip-and-tuck shows have brought plastic surgery to a common ground.” As recently as a decade ago, “Patients would come in, have their surgery and hide for eight weeks. Nobody would talk about it,” Saltz said. “Now you have your surgery in the morning, and in the afternoon you’re talking to your friends. It’s become a much more acceptable commodity.” A combination of medical, technological, economic and societal factors is contributing to the increase. Advances in anesthesia, in particular, have made many procedures available on an outpatient basis, negating the need for overnight hospital stays, reducing recovery times and allowing patients to get back to work more quickly. Just 18 percent of cosmetic surgeries were performed in hospitals last year, according to the ASAPS. The See SURGERY, Page 2C

home: Millennium Force at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. This was the only coaster that gave Burdett pause. “I was there on the day it opened, and I don’t know if it was waiting in line for so long or what, but I talked myself out of it,” he said. “Years later when I went back to the park is when I finally got on it.” Burdett and Rensa enjoy Millennium for its height and speed (a funny thing considering Burdett is otherwise afraid of heights). Riders must get over their fears quickly with Millennium, a ride that rises to 310 feet and hits 93 miles per hour. It’s so big it prompted the creation of a new coaster definition, the gigacoaster, which is classified as having a height drop that ranges from 300 to 399 feet and completes a full circuit. Millennium also employs the same type of harness as Nitro at Six Flags, something Rensa said makes the ride enjoyable. “The lap bar makes your torso completely secure but keeps your hands, upper body and legs free. As the ride moves your body is free to go in all directions, and you can just relax and enjoy it.” Despite the newer rides rife

Admission prices are $28.95 and up, dependent on package. Twelve coasters are in place, from the classic SooperDooperLooper to the innovative Roller Soaker, which contains squirt guns and water geysers. • Dorney Park & Wildwater King-

dom, 3830 Dorney Park Road, Allentown. (610) 395-2000. www.dorneypark.com. Admission starts at $24.99, depending on the package.

with innovation, such as the Roller Soaker at Hersheypark, which has water geysers throughout, both Burdett Burdett and Rensa have a soft spot for the old-style coasters. Rensa will never forget her first trip on a white wooden coaster at the now-defunct Rocky Glen amusement park in Moosic. Burdett points to the Phoenix, also a wooden structure, at Knoebels in Elysburg, saying it “doesn’t look like much, but it’s unbelievable.” Some rides don’t feel like much as far as time is concerned, making mere half-minute trips. One is

the Kingda Ka at Cedar Point. “It looks like it might freak you out a little bit but, no matter what, in 30 seconds it’s over,” Burdett said. “You kind of come to grips with that and say ‘OK, I could do 30 seconds.’” For some people 30 seconds is way more than enough. Just ask Burdett’s wife, Becky, 33. “She likes to say that she rides bench,” he said, laughing. “She has no problem riding the bench while we’re on the actual ride, holding everybody’s wallets and glasses and purses.”

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com had to have a lot of gray hair. Now you see Mark Zuckerberg, these big entrepreneurs who are young. The reason eyelid and abdominal liposuction surgeries are so popular is because the eyelids and midsection are among the first parts of the body to show signs of age and among the most difficult to remedy without surgery,” Azizzadeh said. That was the experience of Stephen, a lipoplasty patient from Orange County, Calif., who asked that his last name not be used for privacy reasons. “I couldn’t get rid of the fat,” Stephen said. “I tried diets.

Email, online thank-yous can be sufficient in times of emotional stress Dear Abby: “Wants to Do the Right Thing” (April 18) asked about using email to thank those who donated to a fundraiser for her son, who has bone cancer. What is wrong with that? I have been there. One of my twin boys was diagnosed with cancer at age 2. I was grateful for all the help my family and friends gave me, but I did not always have the time or energy to devote to writing thank-you cards. You really have to have experienced this kind of long-term stress and trauma to understand. It takes all the strength you have to just get through each day without breaking down. For

DEAR ABBY ADVICE larger donations, I would write a card when I could or print some out on my computer. Sometimes I recruited a friend or family member to handle thank-you notes. People always ask, “What can I do?” Well, assign them this task! Another way of thanking people was through a blog, like CaringBridge. These free websites were a great way to keep in touch with people and let them know what was going on. I often posted general notes of thanks there, then emailed everyone who contributed with a link to

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

the site. The truth is, it was difficult to accept charity and help from others, and I often found myself overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support. — Truly Thankful in New York Dear Truly Thankful: Thank YOU for your heartfelt letter and helpful suggestions. I reminded “Wants” that writing personal thank-you notes was the proper thing to do, but not all readers agreed. Their comments: Dear Abby: Any spare time that mom has needs to be spent with her family or taking care of herself. They are going through a very difficult time. I believe that in this day and age, the majority of people would understand and not expect a thank-you note

CRYPTOQUOTE

for their donation. So a quick email of thanks would be more than appreciated. Email is more acceptable now, especially among younger people. If this is all she has time for, it’s better than no thank-you at all. — Kelly in Winchester, Va. Dear Abby: You correctly advised “Wants” that a handwritten, personal note was in order. However, having found myself in this position, I sometimes first send out a quick “blanket” email to all the donors: “Dear Friends and Family, you are great to contribute to our cause. Please forgive this email reply, but we want you to know right away how much your support means to us. You’ll be hearing from us personally

as soon as possible.” This acknowledges the generosity immediately, while relieving some stress for the writer at a busy time. — Wise in Washington Dear Abby: Please tell “Wants” that her son should write some of the letters if he’s old enough. The notes should be to people he knows. Folks won’t expect a thank-you right away. — Cancer Survivor in Oklahoma To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re the warrior of the zodiac, but even when General Chaos and Major Disaster seem to be in charge of your forces, you’re still the commander in chief. Today’s seemingly tough decision will be no match for you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you see people, you really see them: traits, talents, faults, tendencies. You take in the full breadth of their character immediately — but it will take many days to process all you’ve seen. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Professional relationships feel a little blurry of late, but remember that you’re the only one in the driver’s seat. Watch that yellow line, and remind others to stay in their appropriate lanes. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve backtracked long enough. Don’t worry about the thickness of the jungle in front of you; your machete is sharper than you realize. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Talent is more common than you think; persistence and perseverance are the real precious commodities. Remember to stock up on them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll study the people around you, curious about their story and interested in why your paths have intersected. That second part you’ll probably keep to yourself, and rightly so, but it will come up sooner or later. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your airsign nature allows you to fly in your imagination lately, though it may seem to you now that your wings are clipped. Unfold them,

stretch them out, and hop off your perch and out of the open cage. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have the feeling that no one in this world has it easy. Even the privileged ones deal with their own set of issues, and it would be unfair to judge. Your feeling for humanity will be profound. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You like working with a team because knowing that all of your hearts beat for the same thing is a thrill in itself. You’ll get your wish. Everyone will rally together. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll do what it takes to finish the job, which seems like a no-brainer to you. You’d be surprised at how many people don’t, or for some reason can’t, rise to the challenge. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You like people to speak the truth, but since you have a good feeling for such things, you really don’t need them to. Words have a resonance, and that tells you what is accurate. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The world settles up with you in some way. For starters, you’ll receive a wonderful bit of mail, check enclosed. What’s owed to you will be repaid in other ways, as well. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 12). You’ll dive into new ventures. The best projects have humble beginnings. The bare-bones way in which things start will be in stark contrast to the lavish, intricate way they end up. You’ll make an important sale in the next 10 weeks. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 1, 20 and 25.
