New state House bill aims to get state out of liquor-selling business

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

Sara Kriley pours a drink at Mulligan’s on South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre. Ron Kamionka, who operates Mulligan’s, the Hardware Bar, Bourbon Street Saloon and Club Reflex in downtown WilkesBarre and other bars in Harrisburg and Scranton, doesn’t believe Pennsylvania should be in the business of selling liquor. A House bill introduced Wednesday aims to scrap the 609 stateowned liquor stores – including the 18 in Luzerne County – and its wholesale operation.

Obama’s tough talk is for GOP Compromise needed soon, he stresses to GOP, to avoid default by government. By DAVID ESPO and ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama bluntly told Republican congressional leaders Wednesday they must compromise quickly if the government is to avoid an unprecedented default, adding, “Don’t call my bluff” by passing a short-term debt limit increase he has threatened to veto.

SCRANTON – Federal prosecutors on Wednesday filed court documents opposing disgraced Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak’s request for a new trial overturning his conviction on bribery, extortion and other corruption charges. Munchak on July 5 requested a new trial or for U.S. District Court Judge A. Richard Caputo to not enter the decision against him, effectively acquitting him, because he was found guilty of both extortion and bribery for accepting the same kickback payments. His attorney, Christopher T. Powell Jr., contends that a person cannot commit bribery and ex-

tortion in the same instance unless the person took a bribe then asked for more, and that those charges should have been ruled inconsistent by Caputo. The charges concern payments made by Don Kalina of Highland Associates in May, July and November of 2005, according to court documents. U.S. Attorneys argue in their brief in opposition to Munchak’s motion that bribery and extortion charges may be mutually exclusive in cases where the extortion involved threats or violence, but that Munchak was not charged with making such threats, using violence or otherwise using fear to extort kickbacks. Rather, he used his political power to commit extortion under color of right, and that form of extortion is not mutually exclusive with bribery, prosecutors said. They also argued that inconsistency in a jury verdict is not

grounds to set the verdict aside. Munchak was found guilty on June 21 of conspiracy to commit theft of bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds, bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds, conspiracy to commit extortion under color of right, extortion under color of right and tax offenses. He resigned his post as Republican minority commissioner the next day. His co-defendant, former commissioner Robert Cordaro, was found guilty of bribery concerning programs receiving federal funds, extortion under color of official right, money laundering, racketeering, tax evasion and other charges. Caputo will issue a ruling on Munchak’s motion for a new trial at a later date. Munchak’s sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 28. He faces up to 93 years in prison and more than $2 million in fines.

sion was established and elected in the May 2010 primary election to study the city’s current form of government, determine its strengths and weaknesses and consider alternative structures. On Feb. 8, the commission decided the city would be better served by an alternate form of government and voted to draft the charter, which was completed June 30. It must now submit a final draft to Luzerne County by Aug. 23 to be put on the ballot for the November election. Between now and November, the commission is charged with publicizing the home rule charter, something Chairman Gerald Hudak said the commission will need to work at, as many residents seem to have confused the charter with the Luzerne County Home Rule Charter approved by voters last November. As members of the city’s consultants Northeastern Pennsylvania Alliance Jeffrey Box and Joe Chacke explained at the meeting, the charter would change the city’s government from a commission government as regulated by the state’s third-class city code to a strong mayor form of government. Under the charter, the mayor would be charged with preparing an annual budget, have veto power and would have final say in all hiring decisions. A new, appointed city manager would handle day-to-day administrative duties, make personnel recommendations to the mayor and assist the mayor in preparing the budget. A five-member city council would hold all legislative power and would approve all borrowing for terms of longer than six months or for more than $250,000. Other provisions include: • Tax revenue increases would also be capped at 8 percent from the preceding year. • Citizens would gain rights to initiative, or compelling council to address an issue, with 100 resident signatures, and referendum, or placing an ordinance for consideration on the election ballot, with 250 signatures. • All currently elected row officers would become appointed positions, and the offices of treasurer and controller would be eliminated. About 30 residents and officials attended the meeting and offered their thoughts on the charter. Joseph L. Boyle of the Pennsylvania Economy League recommended changes to the hiring process for an independent auditor the charter requires and the frequency of audits, and recommended eliminating the tax collector position as well as the city treasurer in favor of a unified financial office, but he said his criticism is “not with the intent, it’s the mechanism.” Boyle explained that the charter will allow the city to continue to levy a 1.5 percent earned income tax, which nets the municipality $1.2 million annually. The city has been allowed to collect that tax since 2006, when it was declared a financially distressed municipality under the state Financially Distressed Municipalities Act, also known as Act 47. Mayor Joe Dougherty also said he approves of the charter.

In 2010, the program logged more than 2,800 transport flights, more than 550 of which were made by the Luzerne Countybased helicopter. “We can cut an hour’s transit time down to 15 or 20 minutes,” flight nurse Red Lines said. “In many cases with severe, life-threatening injuries, (if) you shave off minutes… you have the potential to save lives.” “Where we make up a lot of our time is on the mountainous roads,” pilot Scott Walters added. “Instead of taking back roads, we plow straight through.” Even closer to home, Life Flight remains the fastest way to connect patients with caregivers. The chopper arrived at the scene of a fatal car accident in Larksville on Monday within five minutes, crew members said, and was back at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center within six minutes of leaving the scene.

Input from the meeting will be incorporated in a new master plan examining the park’s future path and how much it will cost to get there. The state is requiring the study for the park to be eligible for grant funds. The 650-acre park had closed in January 2010 because of the county’s money problems, but the facility reopened with scaled-back amenities that March. The meeting is in the county’s Emergency Management Agency building on Water Street in Wilkes-Barre. County commissioners also discussed plans during Wednesday’s work session to provide a $47,725 community development business loan to Maers Off the Square to open a new restaurant at 50 S. Main St. in Wilkes-Barre, which is currently the site of Tony Thomas’ Deli & Catering.

Fiscal pact needs OK from majorities on 4 of 5 boards. In last vote, majorities from L-L, WA voted no.

PRINGLE – Forty-five members on five school boards have the final say on whether West Side Career and Technology Center eliminates sports this fall. But the ultimate power lies with a handful of people on the Wyoming Area and LakeLehman school boards. West Side is technically run by a Joint Operating Committee comprised of three representatives from the school boards of all five member districts. The JOC approves an annual budget – as it did West Side in June, eliminating continues to sports – but that budoperate with- get must be ratified by out a budget, a vote from all 45 as it has since members of the participating school boards. July 1 … That vote is done by a Tkatch said mailed ballot, and a rethere is view of the votes for a enough money budget proposed last month clearly shows a in reserve to schism among the five keep things boards. Six members from going for the each of three boards – rest of July at Wyoming Valley West, least. Dallas and Northwest – approved the budget. But every board member from Wyoming Area and LakeLehman districts who cast a ballot voted no. Not all members of those two boards voted – one abstained in Lake-Lehman and two did not return their ballots, while three did not return ballots in Wyoming Area. But in both cases, six of nine board members rejected the sportscutting budget. Unless a few of those 12 change their minds, a budget can’t be passed, regardless of how many yes votes it gets. That’s because state law has a double requirement built into the budget ratification process, according to West Side Solicitor Charles Coslett: 1) At least 23 of the 45 board members must vote yes and 2) the majority – at least five members – of four

committee voted 6-2 to remove a sentence from the ad stating: “Position finalists must be willing to allow public disclosure of their resume in order to move forward in the (hiring) process.” Committee member Rick Morelli motioned for the change because he believed the wording could deter the most qualified candidates from applying for fear of losing their current jobs. Commissioner Maryanne Petrilla said the committee didn’t have the authority to decide whether finalists’ resumes would or would not be released. Committee Chairman Jim Bobeck

said the county council that will take office in January ultimately will make that decision. Committee members Rich Heffron and Commissioner Steve Urban looked at it a different way. “This is not a mid-level manager job where you’re going to be hidden in some department. This is going to be someone who’s going to be under fire every day in the county, somebody … who’s going to be talked about in the paper every day. Welcome to the real world,” Urban said, adding that job candidates should have been given some notice

that their names might be released by the new county council. The deadline for applying for the county manager position is Sept. 30. The committee also voted 6-2 to use a $10,000 state grant for an efficiency study on the departments of law, budget and finance and judicial services. Transition committee consultant Tim Mohr said a study makes sense because currently, each row office has a solicitor and finances are handled by the treasurer’s office, the budget and fiSee TRANSITION, Page 7A

Blood drive for survivor

The American Red Cross will be holding a blood drive in honor of local resident Donna Smith Davenport on Saturday at the Kingston Township Municipal Building, 180 E. Center St, Shavertown from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. While pulling out from a stop sign at Harveys Lake on June 13, 2010, Donna Smith Davenport’s vehicle was struck by a pickup truck. The Red Cross said she suffered massive injuries to her brain, vertebrae, nose, lungs, ribs, spleen, pelvis, bladder and much more. After being transported to Geisinger WilkesBarre by ambulance, Donna arrived within two minutes of bleedSmith ing to death. Throughout the first Davenport 24 hours, she had to have her entire blood supply replenished three times. “Thanks to the Red Cross and local donors, I am alive today, and aside from the 8-inch scar down my stomach, I look and feel like nothing happened,” Davenport said in a statement. Eligible volunteer blood donors are asked to call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to find a blood drive and to make an appointment.

Palin rep: Stalker, dad call him

Motion submitted by attorney to deny a request to dissolve restraining order vs. Pa. teen. By RACHEL D’ORO Associated Press

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Recordings of telephone calls allegedly made to Sarah Palin’s attorney by a 19-year-old Pennsylvania man accused of stalking the former Alaska governor are peppered with profanity-laced tirades and vows to continue calling nonstop. In one recording, Shawn Christy of McAdoo, Pa., allegedly tells Palin’s lawyer: “You want to play games, you wanna play little court games, well play games, now come on .. Come on! Let’s play games as far as you want it to go on!” The recordings have been submitted with a motion by attorney John Tiemessen asking a state magistrate in Alaska to deny a request to dissolve a restraining order against Christy. The motion says Christy’s father, Craig Christy, also has made multiple calls to his office. One of the calls is included in the filing. “There is really not sufficient punctuation on a standard keyboard to express the seething, spitting, splenic, paranoid, batguano crazy rage that is encapsu-

lated on the audio,” Tiemessen wrote in the document filed late Tuesday. “None of these calls advance resolution of Palin this matter. They only reinforce that the Christies are a disturbed, obsessed and delusional set of individuals who can not be trusted to behave in a minimally socially acceptable manner on the telephone.” The court papers say the Christys should be ordered to communicate with Tiemessen by letter only. The Christys do not have an attorney. The restraining order against Shawn Christy was extended in May for Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and a potential Republican presidential candidate. Magistrate Jonathon Lack also issued a restraining order against Craig Christy, who was accused of barraging Palin’s parents with antagonizing telephone messages. Shawn Christy disputes involvement in a letter threatening Palin’s teenage daughter Willow that was submitted as evidence against him earlier this year. The letter, consisting of cutand-paste words, says that if Palin didn’t announce by the non-existent date of April 31 that she

would not run for office, “you will be cleaning Willows brain cells off your clothes.” It is signed “Hollow Point” and mailed from southeastern Pennsylvania, which the Christys say is nowhere near McAdoo. They also say the handwriting on the envelope is nothing like Shawn Christy’s, who submitted copies of the letter and envelope, along with a letter he wrote to Palin in the past to compare hand writing. “I demand evidence be submitted to the United States Secret Service for further investigation, to prove my innocence, and I demand a retrial,” Shawn Christy wrote in his request. His mother, Karen Christy, said the phone calls to Tiemessen reflect the deep frustration the family feels over the letter her son is accused of sending and their inability to find who has the original. In one of the recordings, Tiemessen said he sent the original to the Anchorage office of the FBI, but declined to identify what agent had it, saying he didn’t know. The FBI won’t confirm possession of the letter, Karen Christy said. She believes the letter weighed heavily in extension of the restraining order against her son. Craig Christy just mailed a request to get the restraining order against him resolved as well, according to Karen Christy.

NYC boy killed, dismembered Death shocks Hasidic community because neighborhood has so little crime and suspect an Orthodox Jew.

Fogerty still going strong at Bluesfest

NEW YORK — An 8-year-old Brooklyn boy who got lost while walking home alone from day camp in his Orthodox Jewish neighborhood was killed and dismembered by a stranger he had asked for directions, and his remains were found stuffed in a trash bin and the man’s refrigerator, police said Wednesday. The gruesome killing of Leiby Kletzy shocked the tight-knit Hasidic community in Borough Park, in part because it is one of the safest sections of the city and because the man under arrest is himself an Orthodox Jew. A day-and-a-half search for the boy ended with the discovery of his severed

feet inside a bloody freezer at the home of a man who was seen with the child on a surveillance video, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The rest of the remains were in the trash in another neighborhood. “It is every parent’s worst nightmare,” Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. The 35-year-old suspect, Levi Aron, implicated himself in the killing, Kelly said. Police said there was no evidence the boy was sexually assaulted, but they would not otherwise shed any light on a motive except to say Aron told them he “panicked” when he saw photos of the missing boy on fliers that were distributed in the neighborhood. Police were looking into whether Aron had a history of mental illness. Detectives were still questioning him Wednesday afternoon, and no immediate charges were filed. It was not clear

whether he had an attorney. The medical examiner’s office was working to determine how the boy was killed. The Hasidim are ultra-Orthodox Jews who live in somewhat insular neighborhoods. The streets are policed by a group of volunteers known as the Shomrim patrol. Many of the mothers who

gathered outside the Kletzy family home Wednesday said the streets are normally safe enough for a child to walk home alone. Adel Erps, like other neighbors, expressed shock the suspect was Jewish. “He’s a sick person obviously, but it hurts so much more,” she said.

The Cadillac hearse was escorted by nearly a dozen California Highway Patrol cars and other vehicles during the trip to the airport, where Ford’s casket, covered in flowers, was placed aboard an Air Force jet sometimes used by Vice President Joe Biden. Shortly after 10 a.m. the plane, also carrying Ford’s family, departed on the four-hour flight to Grand Rapids, Mich., where the former first lady was to be laid to rest today next to her late husband President Gerald R. Ford at his presidential museum. During the trip to the airport, which took the hearse through Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage and other desert resort cities, people lined the streets and hoisted American flags to say goodbye to the former first lady, who died Friday at age 93.

15 suspected al-Qaida held

Police have detained 15 suspected al-Qaida militants who were allegedly planning to attack the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey’s capital, the state-run news agency said Wednesday. Turkey’s Interior Ministry confirmed the capture of suspected al-Qaida militants, but would provide no other details about the case. U.S. officials said they have contacted Turkish officials about the arrests, which came several days before U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is to visit Istanbul, Turkey. Citing unidentified official sources, the Anatolia news agency said police captured the 15 suspects in Ankara, the western city of Bursa and the nearby town of Yalova, and seized 1,500 pounds of chemicals used in bomb making, two assault rifles, ammunition and maps of Ankara.

Bishop accused of cover-up

A new investigation into the Catholic Church’s chronic cover-up of child abuse found Wednesday that a rural diocese and its bishop ignored Irish church rules requiring all suspected molestation cases to be reported to police — and the Vatican encouraged this concealment. The government, which ordered the probe into 1996-2009 cover-ups in the County Cork diocese of Cloyne, warned its findings suggest that parishes across Ireland could pose a continuing danger to children’s welfare today. Justice Minister Alan Shatter pledged to pass a new law making it an imprisonable crime to withhold knowledge of suspected child abuse as he published the investigation into the Cloyne diocese in southwest Ireland. Shatter said previous pledges by Irish church leaders to place Irish civil law first and report all abuse cases dating back to 1995 had been “built on sand.”

Blasts kill 21, injure 141 in India Coordinated attacks hit financial capital in the worst terror attack in the nation since 2008 Mumbai siege.

By RAJESH SHAH and MUNEEZA NAQVI Associated Press

MUMBAI, India — Three coordinated bombings tore through the heart of India’s busy financial capital during rush hour Wednesday, killing 21 people and wounding 141 in the worst terror attack in the country since the 2008 Mumbai siege. Bloody bodies were strewn in the dirt of Mumbai’s crowded neighborhoods and markets. Doors were ripped off storefronts, motorcycles were charred and a bus stop was shredded. After the blasts in three separate neighborhoods,

police set up checkpoints and were put on high alert. The bombings came just months after peace talks resumed between India and Pakistan, which New Delhi has blamed for past attacks. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh condemned the blasts and appealed to the people of Mumbai “to remain calm and show a united face.” There was no immediate claim of responsibility, and Indian officials refused to speculate on who might be behind the blasts. Indian officials have accused Pakistan’s powerful spy agency of helping coordinate and fund earlier attacks, including the Mumbai siege, which killed 166 people over three days.

First U.S. troops leaving Afghanistan as part of drawdown President said last month he would pull 10,000 of the extra troops out this year and the remaining 23,000 by next summer.

By HEIDI VOGT Associated Press

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan — The first troops to leave Afghanistan as part of the U.S. drawdown handed over their slice of battlefield Wednesday to a unit less than half their size and started packing for home. When the 650 members of the Iowa National Guard’s 1st Squadron, 113th Cavalry Regiment arrived in Afghanistan in November

2010, bases didn’t have enough housing, translators were in short supply and chow halls were packed. Commanders were using a buildup of 33,000 extra troops for a major push that they said would turn the tide of the war against the Taliban insurgency. Nine months later, it’s still unclear if that push has succeeded, but the pullback has begun. Although major combat units are not expected to start leaving until

late fall, two National Guard regiments comprising about 1,000 soldiers in all are withdrawing this month — the Iowa soldiers from Parwan province in eastern Afghanistan, and the other group from the capital, Kabul. U.S. President Barack Obama announced last month that he would pull 10,000 of the extra troops out in 2011 and the remaining 23,000 by the summer of 2012.

CAIRO — Egypt’s security chief fired nearly 700 police officers Wednesday in a step to cleanse the much-hated force, the latest concession military rulers have made under pressure from protesters holding a sit-in in Cairo’s Tahrir Square for the past six days. Widespread abuses by the police under the former regime were a key reason behind the protests that toppled President Hosni Mubarak in February. But the ruling military council that took over from him has been slow to hold ex-regime officials and police accountable for killing nearly 900 protesters during the uprising and other crimes.

We won’t be fooled,” said Walid Saoud, a 34-year old protester. He said the sit-in will go on because the protesters want to see a total restructuring of the police force, the main tool of political control under the previous regime. Some are even accusing the ruling military council of trying to protect Mubarak and his former regime loyalists. In another nod to demands by activists, the military is delaying parliamentary elections that had been expected in September, the state news agency said. The vote is now expected in October or November, the report said. Many of the political parties that arose from the uprising want the delay so they can compete more effectively against better prepared and financed Islamist groups, such as the Muslim Brotherhood.

BUDGET Continued from Page 3A

boards must vote yes. With majorities from Lake-Lehman and Wyoming Area voting no, that second requirement can’t be met, even if the first one is. If the budget required a simple majority for ratification, the process would be a done deal – twice. When the budget was first sent out for ratification and the ballots were returned, the tally was 18 yes, 15 no, with two abstentions and 10 ballots unreturned. That means 22 percent of the 45 board members didn’t vote, a statistic Coslett found vexing. “How hard is it?” he asked. Those 18 yes votes weren’t enough to approve the budget, so West Side called a meeting of all 45 members Tuesday to settle the issue. Twenty-four showed up and three more participated by telephone. One proposed budget nabbed a clear majority of 18 votes. Again, a majority approved, but not enough to meet state requirements. So West Side continues to operate without a budget, as it has since July 1. Administrative Director Nancy Tkatch said there is

enough money in reserve to keep things going for the rest of July at least. The main obligation right now is salaries. Teachers don’t work during the summer, but their pay is spread out over 12 months. But Tkatch said the center cannot purchase supplies or incur other new bills until the budget issue is resolved. Those purchases typically would be done now; putting them off could potentially leave the school short of needed material when the doors open this fall. Another meeting of the operating committee is scheduled for Tuesday at 5 p.m. JOC Chairman Moderno “Butch” Rossi – a member of the Lake-Lehman School Board who voted against the original budget – said he’s confident an agreement can be reached that will muster enough votes to win ratification by the member school boards.

“I’m going to do everything humanly possible to come up with a motion that at least 23 of 45 school directors will pass,” Rossi said Wednesday. “I’m positive we can do it Tuesday.” Rossi said he believes there was too much confusion at Tuesday’s meeting, with too many people unclear on what they were voting for. He promised a greater effort at making sure everyone knew what they are voting on when the next ratification ballots are mailed. Rossi said Tkatch is looking for possible savings that would make it easier to keep the sports programs, though cutting teaching staff is almost certainly off the table at this point. Coslett noted that state law and court cases make it clear a teacher being furloughed must be notified 60 days before the start of school. Otherwise, the teacher gets paid for the year, even if he or she is laid off. “That bus has left the station,”

Coslett said. West Side has greater staffing needs than most career centers. Other centers typically take students for half a day of vocational training. The student gets academic training at his or her home district. West Side handles both academic and vocational training. Tkatch said last year West Side had 506 students taught by 21academic and19 vocational teachers, along with two guidance counselors and one nurse. While that means overall there are only about 13 students per teacher, it also means there are 24 pupils per academic teacher and 27 per career teacher. Regular high schools typically try to have 20 to 25 students per classroom. The battle over sports at West Side involves 87 students involved in boys and girls basketball, baseball, softball and boys and girls volleyball.

Since we no longer have a swimming pool at Coal Street, the splash pad is absolutely critical.” Thomas noted that the splash pad, located immediately to the left as one enters the park from Coal Street, is not the only recent addition to Coal Street Park. Two new basketball courts have been built and are close to opening. Construction continues on a new playground and a pavilion.

Under home rule, attorneys will be consolidated into one department, most row offices will be consolidated into an office of judicial services and the budget and finance and treasurer’s offices will be consolidated. Petrilla said the study was “a waste” because a $10,000 study would not produce worthwhile recommendations. She said a thorough efficiency study with relevant recommendations would cost much more. Urban voted against it because he thought the judiciary should be included in the study, noting that the state cut the county’s judicial funding from

$69,000 to $61,000. He was sure the judiciary could be administered more efficiently. Bobeck said public comment on the proposed personnel and ethics policies would be accepted until July 27. Comments and suggestions can be mailed to the Home Rule Transition Committee, 200 N. River St., WilkesBarre, 18701, or emailed to homerule@luzernecounty.org. Those proposed policies and others can be found on the Home Rule Transition page of the county website – www.luzernecounty.org. A link to Home Rule Transition is on the left of the county home page. Several members of the public offered suggestions for policy changes at the meeting, including Controller Walter Griffith, who said the ethics policy should include a method for making the county manager accountable to rectify problems in audit findings.

Utility spokesman says its employees do not visit homes without prior notification. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A PPL Utilities spokesperson warned customers not to fall victim to a popular scam, a day after a family in the Heights section was approached by three people they suspected of posing as PPL employees. Mary Ruth said three people wearing baggy clothes were going door-to-door on North Empire Street identifying themselves as PPL employees, ask-

ing to see their electric bill for a chance of a rebate. “They were saying, ‘I’m here to give you a rebate, all we need to see is your last bill,’ ” Ruth said. “No names were offered, they didn’t have name tags. All they asked was to look at the bill.” Rich Beasley, a PPL spokesman, said the utility company does not visit customers’ homes without prior notification. “We don’t do door-to-door sales or solicitations,” Beasley said. “It’s rare to actually enter somebody’s home at all. When we do, we make an appointment. “If the customer has any doubt, we ask them to always

check the person’s photo identification card. All of our employees carry photo identification cards,” Beasley noted. Ruth said a female family member was sitting on a porch when she was approached by one of the three men. Ruth said she got up to go into the house to retrieve a PPL bill when a male family member suspected something was wrong. “When they heard her talking to a man, they immediately asked if it was her husband,” Ruth said. “They left and went across the street and were shut out. They went to two or three other houses and left.” Beasley said it is common for imposters to use PPL in an at-

Barletta, Marino: Obama scares seniors with tactic By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – Republican U.S. Reps. Lou Barletta of Hazleton and Tom Marino of Lycoming Township say President Obama is using scare tactics by raising the specter of seniors not receiving their Social Security checks if an agreement is not reached on raising the federal debt ceiling and a government default occurs in August. Barletta also is criticizing a backup plan offered by the Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, designed to avert a government default if a comprehensive debt ceiling agreement can’t be reached in time. Obama told CBS News Tuesday a broad array of government benefit payments could be at risk beginning Aug. 3 if the debt ceiling is not raised by Aug. 2, including Social Security checks. Marino said Obama is failing to take into account that Social Security receives its funds not by way of congressional authorization but from payroll taxes, federal income taxes paid by some beneficiaries on a portion of their benefits and interest income from the Social Security trust fund investments. Barletta said that Obama would decide what funds and payments would be cut if “revenues are limited. He is the one choosing to withhold the checks from senior citizens, soldiers and their families, veterans, and all those who rely on a government benefit check. If these folks don’t get paid, it’s the president’s fault,” Barletta said in a statement. But a study by the Washington-based Bipartisan Policy Center says the government would not have enough money to pay all its bills if the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling is not hiked by Aug. 2. While Social Security checks would not have to be what the government cuts first, there would be “widespread uncertainty as decisions are made day to day,” the center’s study concluded, with many federal ven-

dors such as defense contractors and Medicare and Medicaid providers not paid and individual benefit checks for various programs also threatened. McConnell’s plan would give Obama the authority to raise the debt ceiling in increments unless Congress votes against the raises with a veto-proof majority. Barletta said, “With all due respect to Leader McConnell, this is a terrible plan. It would give the president the authority to increase the debt limit – and not require him cut spending at all. To me, this is a fatal flaw.”

election in 2012. Republicans, many of them elected with the support of tea party activists in 2010, are demanding deep spending cuts as the price for allowing a debt limit increase to pass. But negotiations have bogged down over Obama’s demand for tax increases that GOP lawmakers say they won’t accept. McConnell predicted that if Congress fails to act, Obama will argue “that Republicans are making the economy worse and try to convince the public, maybe with some merit, if people start not getting their Social Security checks and military families start getting let-

ters saying their service people overseas don’t get paid.” “You know, it’s an argument he has a good chance of winning, and all of a sudden we (Republicans) have co-ownership of a bad economy,” McConnell said. “That is a very bad positioning going into an election.” McConnell said his first choice was to reach a good compromise with Obama. Short of that, “my second obligation is to my party ... to prevent them from being sucked into a horrible position politically that would allow the president probably to get re-elected because we didn’t handle this difficult situation correctly.” With bipartisan talks scheduled to resume today, two Democratic officials quoted Obama as

telling Republicans, “Enough is enough. We have to be willing to compromise. It shouldn’t be about positioning and politics and I’ll see you all tomorrow.” Talking with reporters at the Capitol after he left the White House, Cantor said the president had backed away from spending cuts agreed to earlier because of pressure from Democrats in Congress. He said the two sides were far from agreement on a $2.4 trillion package of deficit cuts that would allow the Treasury to borrow through the next election. As a result, the Virginian said he had reversed his own position, and was now willing to ask the House to approve a smaller increase, with a second installment before the 2012 election. “He got very agitated seeming-

ly and said he had sat here long enough and that no other president, Ronald Reagan wouldn’t sit here like this,” Cantor said of the president. Cantor quoted Obama as saying the talks had reached the point that something’s got to give,” and demanded Republicans either jettison their demand for deficit cuts at least equal to the size of the debt limit or drop their opposition to tax increases. “And he said to me, ‘Eric, don’t call my bluff.’ He said, ‘I’m going to the American people with this.’” Democratic officials said that in fact, Cantor had twice earlier in the meeting raised the possibility of a short-term bill, and that he interrupted the president midsentence to do so a third time.

LIFE FLIGHT Continued from Page 3A

The program now has five helicopters based in Danville, State College, Williamsport and Minersville in addition to the local airport, each with four pilots, one mechanic, five flight nurses and five paramedics keeping the aircraft in service 24/7. It also owns a sixth chopper to use as a backup. Together with administrative staff, the program employs about 100. Walters said he joined the crew four years ago after leaving the U.S. Navy – where he flew helicopters for 13 years – to be closer to his family. “I count it a huge privilege to do this,” said Walters, a LakeLehman High School graduate. “I’ve landed at Lake-Lehman be-

fore. I’ve landed pretty much everywhere I used to go when I grew up, so it’s pretty neat.” At Walter’s command is one of the most high-tech contraptions a civilian can fly. Geisinger’s helicopter at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport was purchased in 2009. The Eurocopter model EC145 retails for about $5 million, but cost the health care provider about $6.5 million once it was outfitted with toolbox of special navigation and emergency care gadgetry. The chopper has full autopilot capabilities, two GPS navigation systems, satellite-based and conventional radar systems, instrument flying capability – allowing it to fly through the clouds safely – and twin engines, which allow the helicopter to land more safely if one engine fails. In the rear is a full critical care unit with all the resources available at a hospital emergency

room, arranged in such a way that flight nurses and paramedics can reach everything and provide care to one or two patients without leaving their seats. And on top of all that, they can do it in total darkness using the night vision goggles all crew members are issued. Three years minimum experience working as a nurse or paramedic in an ambulance is required to even apply to join the Life Flight crew, and that only provides a starting point for the specialized training crew members undergo. Besides focusing on saving lives, crew members must also act as spotters assisting the pilot in finding landing zones and avoiding obstacles. “What we require out of people is the best 100 percent of the time,” Lines said. “In our job, you can’t have a bad day or an off day, because it’s the patients that will have suffered.”

Democrats stand in way of property tax reform

AST MONTH, GOV. Tom Corbett signed a $27.15 billion budget that represented a 3 percent cut over the previous year’s. The budget succeeded in being on time. That’s about the extent of its success, at least measured against what the governor set out to achieve in his March budget address, when he announced that “everyone needs to share in the sacrifice” and defined his core principles as “fiscal discipline, limited government, free enterprise and reform.” The budget certainly helps certain enterprises, especially natural gas drillers, since it imposed no tax or impact fee on the industry. But the budget failed pathetically on the other principles, especially the size of government and fiscal discipline. None of the three branches of government managed to partake in that sharing of sacrifice that poor families and school-

children will share, due to cuts in education and welfare. In fact, the judicial budget got an increase. The legislative branch managed to cough up $50 million of its $189 million surplus. This is a surplus of our unspent money that we have effectively gift-wrapped and sent to the General Assembly, so giving up money it wasn’t using isn’t exactly a sacrifice. And through a budget sleight of hand, the Legislature’s $300 million operating budget was left essentially unchanged. The state workers’ unions froze their salaries for a year, with raises all around for four years after. It goes without saying that none of the three branches took pay cuts. In the end, this budget cut the size of government services, but left our state government as big and undisciplined as ever – and as unwilling as ever to share the sacrifice. Philadelphia Daily News

hat exactly do Democrats fear in giving a voice to “we the people” of Pennsylvania? Specifically, I am referring to opposition to property tax reform legislation in Harrisburg that would force tax increases to be placed on the ballot. Our property tax system badly needs reform. Property taxes are one of the most regressive taxes we have, and they disproportionately assault the checkbooks of the elderly and working poor. The Democrats in the Legislature who oppose this measure are voting to maintain the status quo. I have had enough of the status quo. It’s time for the people to have a say in their government and the taxes it levies against its most vulnerable people. Mary Ellen Occhipinti Moosic

LETTERS FROM READERS

Barletta’s words, votes viewed as contradictory

here does Congressman Lou Barletta lie? Does he lie in Washington, D.C., where he voted not to fund the Environmental Protection Agency, or in Pittston, where he said he’s going to get the EPA to help those residents? I think I know, but you decide. Does he lie here when he said he didn’t vote to kill Medicare? Or did he lie in Washington, D.C., when he voted to kill Medicare? I’m 52 years old and I have a master’s degree; I saw the vote where Lou voted to kill my Medicare. Yet he’ll lie and use some Chinese lobbyist gobbledygook words to try to fool you and me. I’m not fooled, Lou. Are you going to continue to vote with your Chinese masters, or you going to change up and vote for us for a change? Eric Graff Fairview Township

Patrols, not checkpoints, will curb drunken driving

obriety checkpoints – such as the one planned recently in the Wyoming area – often fail to make even a single drunken-driving arrest, despite stopping hundreds of vehicles. A 2009 University of Maryland study found that checkpoints don’t have “any impact on public perceptions, driver behaviors or alcohol-related crashes.” County police should employ roving – or saturation – patrols in which police patrol

the roadways for dangerous drivers. State Supreme Court cases from both Pennsylvania and New Hampshire revealed that roving patrols caught 10 times more drunken drivers than checkpoints. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, “it is proven that saturation efforts will bring more DUI arrests than sobriety checkpoints.” Patrols also stop distracted, speeding, aggressive and drowsy drivers, because officers can catch them in the act.

Blood drive will honor memory of cancer victim

invite everyone to the fifth annual Michael Chocallo blood drive, to be held from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Thomas Saxton Medical Pavilion, 468 Northampton St., Edwardsville. This special blood drive is being sponsored in memory of my husband, Mike, who died from melanoma cancer on July 26, 2006. As you are reading this, someone needs your blood donation; on average, someone needs blood every two seconds. You never know when that “someone” could be you or one of your loved ones. Blood is needed quite often by those people undergoing cancer treatment. I am astounded by the number of people who could easily donate blood but do not, perhaps out of fear of the donation collection process. Please stop by and see that it is not all that fearsome, perhaps paving the way for a future donation. Death from melanoma is needless; through early detection, melanoma is one of the most curable cancers. That is why there will be a table set up with valuable information. Please become aware of the warning signs of melanoma and strategies for prevention. If my husband’s experience can make just one person see his/her doctor about a suspicious mole or lesion, I know that he will be smiling down through the holes in the floor of heaven. The blood drive is a way of keeping my husband’s memory alive and it is an invaluable part of the grieving process for our

Reader feels president violated War Powers Act

he War Powers Act is the federal law that dictates what a president must do to enter into a war. Basically, a president must seek congressional approval or a declaration of war to sustain military activity in a foreign land beyond 60 days. June 17 marked the deadline since President Obama began hostilities in Libya. Regardless of how you feel about the war in Iraq, President Bush sought and received congressional approval to be there. Both Democrats and Republicans voted to enter Iraq and continually funded the operations. President Obama’s $4 million-per-day Libyan operation has no such approval. In my opinion, President Obama has made a unilateral declaration of war in contravention to the War Powers Act, which is both unconstitutional and the definition of an “unjust war.” Congressmen Tom Marino and Lou Barletta should vote to cut all funding to Obama’s war in Libya until, and unless, he seeks and is granted the proper constitutional approval to continue these hostilities. Christopher Lynch Throop

Writer debates label of democracy for U.S.

ne of the biggest lies perpetrated on American citizens by politicians and the mainstream media is that the United States was founded as a democracy. The United States is a constitutional republic or limited democracy. The Founding Fathers wanted the United States governed by “rule of law” rather than a democracy of the “majority of the minute,” which always results in oligarchy. As James Madison, father of the Constitution, said: “Democracy is a vile form of government … democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention, have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property, and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.” Charlotte Hendershot Plains Township

Liquor store workers union wary of privatization plan Statement says don’t be fooled by spin that private stores would hire members. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

One concern raised by opponents of the push to privatize liquor sales in Pennsylvania is the fate of the 5,000 workers employ-

ed by the state-owned liquor stores. Supporters of the latest privatization bill contend that many of those workers would likely be hired by new store owners. House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods, said he’s heard the arguments that employees would be left out in the cold. “I disagree,” Turzai said

Wednesday. “They know their product. They’re hard working. … they’re going to be quite an asset to someone who comes in and opens a retail store.” The union that represents current state liquor store employees, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 1776, which has a regional office in Pittston, has blasted the proposal. “Don’t be fooled by Turzai’s

Turzai’s plan does offer an incentive for the new license holders to hire those workers. The bill includes tax credits for private employers who hire state wine and spirits shops clerks and calls for a preferential hiring system at other state agencies to find places for them. For those wishing to head into another industry, the bill includes a provision that would

guarantee vouchers for job training courses. It doesn’t fly with Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre. “It looks good on paper, but when it comes down to it, those people get screwed,” Pashinski said. He said he has never supported privatizing the state’s liquor business and the latest attempt also will not receive his vote.

gler said. This isn’t the first effort to privatize the state’s liquor stores. Similar proposals were introduced in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. All failed to make it to the governor’s desk. “Liquor store privatization is one of those issues which must be examined from all angles – this is not a simple issue or the commonwealth would have privatized long ago,” said Rep. Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake. She said she looks forward to the debate on the issue but did not come out in support of or against the proposal.

spin that new private stores would hire our members. Most of the licenses under Turzai’s plan would go to Walmart, Costco, Target, and other big box stores that would reallocate current shelf space and use their current employees to stock the shelves. That’s just what’s happened in other states, and it would happen here,” read a statement on the union’s website.

chance of passing. “I don’t think it’s going to pass. And I don’t think it has anything to do with the merits of it. Unions have a powerful voice,” said Kamionka, who runs Mulligan’s, the Hardware Bar, Bourbon Street Saloon and Club Reflex in downtown Wilkes-Barre and other bars in Harrisburg and Scranton. Liquidate Pa. ownership Turzai’s House Bill 11 aims to scrap the 609 state-owned liquor stores – including the 18 in Luzerne County – and its wholesale operation. It also calls for the state to auction off1,250 licenses, some to existing retailers and grocers, others to new establishments. It will have no impact on the way beer is sold, but would allow beer distributors to purchase liquor licenses. The bill also would overhaul state taxes on liquor, expand the number of sales outlets allowed and offer licenses at auction. Kamionka said he sees plenty of positives if the bill is approved. But he also said the initiative could blow up in the state’s face. “Every time you change something, there’s that risk of unintended consequences,” said Kamionka, a Mountain Top native who now lives in Harrisburg. Right now, the state controls what liquor is purchased, what liquor is allowed to be sold in the state and controls the price, making sure a bottle of Jack Daniels sold at a liquor store in Pittsburgh is sold for the same price at a wine and spirits shop in Hazleton. Supporters of the state-run liquor stores say the state can do a better job making sure minors don’t buy alcohol and can use bulk purchasing power to get liquor at a better price and then pass those

H O U S E B I L L 11 A N D L I Q U O R L I C E N S E S House Bill 11, which was announced by House Majority Leader Mike Turzai on Wednesday, would lead to the closing of all 609 state wine and spirits shops and then the auctioning off of 1,250 retail liquor licenses. They would be separated into two classes – Class A and Class B. Class A would be limited to retailers with 15,000 square feet of

space and more than 600 linear feet of shelf space. There would be 750 of these licenses available. Class B licenses would be for any smaller retail operation and 500 would be available. The bill also tries to create competition in all markets. It does this by limiting companies to owning no more than 40 Class A or 5 Class B licenses.

savings along to consumers. Opponentsofprivatizationalso say the state would be losing a steady, predictable flow of yearly revenue and that private entities could collude to set prices among themselves to prevent competition. Ross Kornfeld, whose family owns and operates The Woodlands Inn and Resort in Plains Township, said he doesn’t believe there would be much of a difference if the system were privatized. Kornfeld said he would like to see the increased number of licensees leading to price wars like gas stations and car dealers. But overall, the possibility of change

isn’t causing him to celebrate or fret. “It’s not that big of a deal,” he said. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the way it is now.” Neither does Gary Sebring, of Wilkes-Barre. While shopping at the Schiel’s Market on George Avenue in Wilkes-Barre’s Parsons section, Sebring said he thinks the variety, price and convenient locations of state liquor stores – especially the ones in the grocery stores – work for him and others. “Why make such a headache for the unknown?” Sebring asked. “I know the state is making money the current way.

As far as Mr. Robbins is concerned, I actually gave him a break on charges.” Robbins told council Tuesday that his car was towed by LAG on June 1, and he contended that Glodzik damaged the steering on his vehicle. Robbins claimed Glodzik confronted him, prompting Robbins to call 911 for help. Robbins alleged city police officers arrived and appeared to be protective of Glodzik. Robbins said he was charged $200 for the tow – a fee he says is exorbitant. Glodzik said the base charge was $175 for a “roll back” tow, which means wheels were placed under the vehicle to get it onto a flat bed truck.

college has experienced a significant decrease in funding from the Commonwealth and level funding from Luzerne County for fiscal year 2011-12.” Budget increasing Despite the loss of state funding, the college’s operating budget revenue is projected to increase slightly, from $39.5 million to $39.6 million, the budget shows. Payroll eats up most of the operating budget, with about $31.9 million spent on salaries and fringe benefits, according to the budget.

Bill in dispute Robbins provided copies of bills from the towing of his vehicle. A bill from LAG shows $200 in charges and another bill from Dave Granteed’s Service Center Inc. in Forty Fort lists charges of $562.26 for repairs to his vehicle – inner tie rods, outer tie rods and an alignment. Robbins claims the damage was done when LAG towed the vehicle. Glodzik said people are upset when their vehicles are towed, but they understand he is only doing his job. “This is a business,” he said. “If you go to a supermarket and complain about the price of milk or bread, they’ll throw you out. The prices are what they are. I’d love to charge more, but then I wouldn’t be able to compete.” Glodzik’s business is at 307 Carey Ave., next to Meyers High School. He plans to move to the former Old River Road Bakery about three blocks from his current location. Glodzik said he has signed an agreement of

The duties handled by the five managers will be assumed by other workers or eliminated, Leary said. For example, the Substance Abuse Education and Training Institute will cease to exist unless alternate funding is identified, Leary said. The institute, which was based out of an office because it did not have its own building, provided seminars for area residents and professionals targeting drug and alcohol addiction. The institute, which was largely the brainchild of former county commissioner Greg Skrepenak, was not tied to any curriculum, Leary said, emphasizing that he and the administration focused on preserving student academic programs and affordable tuition. McCabe was hired to oversee

sale for $38,000 with the city for the former bakery, but the deal has not been finalized because of the unresolved issue of back taxes. Once the back taxes are forgiven, Glodzik said he plans to move. “We’ve already done a lot of renovations to the property,” Glodzik said. “That building sat vacant for 11 years. It was filled with garbage and debris and the weeds were out of control.” Leighton came under fire for agreeing to sell the building to Glodzik. Other neighboring property owners were interested in a portion of the property, but the city decided to sell it all to Glodzik. Originally, the city planned to sell it to a developer to build townhouses, but that deal fell through. Glodzik: No connections Glodzik said he is not related to Leighton or Dessoye, and he does not socialize with either. “Mayor Leighton and Chief Dessoye are my bosses,” Glodzik said. “I follow their guidelines. I don’t go swimming at their houses and I don’t go out to dinner with them or on vacation with them. We have a strict business relationship.”

the substance abuse institute in 2007. She was married to Jeffrey Piazza, and Piazza’s father, August Piazza, was a member of the community college’s Board of Trustees at the time of her hiring. Jeffrey Piazza was sentenced to six months in prison for mail fraud as part of the federal corruption probe. Richards is the wife of former county human resources director Doug Richards, who was also charged as part of the corruption probe. Richards pleaded guilty to accepting money from a consulting group and was sentenced to 15 months in prison, though he is appealing that sentence. Leary said the work that had been performed by Sandra Richards will be handled by other human resource staffers.

Glodzik has donated $10,500 to Leighton’s campaigns since 2005. He has been the city’s contracted tower for six years. Glodzik has also been criticized for purchasing other properties in the city – the critics claim he has been given preferential treatment from the city. Glodzik said he has paid the highest prices offered on the properties and he has invested thousands more to renovate them and get them back on the tax rolls and occupied. Glodzik has properties on Hancock Street and Carlisle Street. He said he paid $7,500 for the Carlisle Street property and so far has spent another $61,500 fixing it up. On Hancock Street, Glodzik paid $25,000 for the property and has $73,000 in the building. “They’re investment properties,” he said. “And when I was in violation of city permits, the city fined me.” Glodzik said he was never given any preferential treatment. Glodzik, 40, has been in business since 1990. He operates LAG and another shop in Duryea. He said he has a garbage collection business, too. Regarding city council’s intention

Donnolo was hired to the associate dean position in 2005. Richards, Conner and Grilli started working for the college in 2006, though Conner wasn’t promoted to the administrator position until 2009, according to news archives. Labeled ‘retrenchment’ Leary said the elimination of positions – the college is using the word “retrenchment” -- is “always a hard decision to make.” He made the call after months of discussion with key administrators, he said. Leary said he has the authority to make such personnel decisions, though he said he informed college trustee board members of the plans on Wednesday morning. The personnel actions have no

to enact an ordinance addressing “predatory towing” by placing a cap on what towers can charge, Glodzik said he supports it. “I was the first one to buy a license when this came up,” Glodzik said. “The towing business should be regulated.”

connection to the Middle States Commission on Higher Education’s recent decision to place the college on probation for failing to provide sufficient evidence that the institution has complied with several accreditation standards, he said. Middle States accreditation is a stamp of approval required for the institution to operate and receive government subsidy. The college will remain accredited by the commission while on probation. Leary has said the institution will provide the necessary documentation and comply with any requirements to restore its full accreditation status. A meeting with Middle States representatives will be held next month to review outstanding compliance

issues. Current and incoming students at the college will not experience any change in classes or scheduling as a result of the probation status, Leary has emphasized. The college offers associate degrees and has an enrollment of about 7,000 students. County residents will pay $84 a credit at the institution this year, the same as the previous fall and spring semesters. The college receives a third of its funding from the state and a third from student tuition. The county provides 15.5 percent of the funding, and the remaining revenue comes from federal grants, college bookstore profits and other funding streams, Leary has said.

Wambach delivers for Americans again

Quarterbacks say players offer is ‘fair for both sides.’ The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Calling the players’ offer “fair for both sides,” star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees — plaintiffs in an antitrust suit against the NFL — said Wednesday “it is time” to wrap up negotiations on a deal to end the league’s lockout. At the bargaining table, though, it wasn’t that easy. On the day Brady, Manning and Brees spoke as a group publicly for the first time, players and owners spent nearly 11 hours meeting at a Manhattan law office before pausing for dinner. “We’re just taking a break — long day,” players’ association chief DeMaurice Smith said. Asked if they were returning Wednesday night, Smith replied, “Probably. Probably coming back.” Regardless, negotiations were expected to continue Thursday.

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Phillies are right where they were supposed to be, leading the majors in wins at the AllStar break. It’s proof what excellent pitching can do. With Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels leading the way, the staff has helped the Phillies overcome a slew of injuries and a mediocre offense. While the three aces have lived up to all that preseason hype, two young relievers have far exceeded expectations. Antonio Bastardo and Michael Stutes have been vital to Philadelphia’s success, especially since the team has been without its three top closers for long stretches. “Our pitching definitely jumps See PHILLIES, Page 3B

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

Doing his best to finish ahead of all the rest

t’s no secret around the Back Mountain that Marc Noyalis is over the top when it comes to limbering

up. The nimble first baseman goes so far as to pull out stretch bands to get loose before games. Which sometimes makes his teammates think he’s a little loopy. “Everybody busts me,” Noyalis said, “because I stretch a lot before games. They say I do a little too much.” It helped him do a lot to deliver Back Mountain’s first Wyoming Valley American Legion League’s championship since 1991. Noyalis finished the Wyoming Valley league title game the way he began it, with a mesmerizing defensive play. He knocked in the game’s first run with a single off a pitcher who was throwing a no-hitter, and drove home Back Mountain’s second run by just making contact on a ground out. And in the middle of producing big plays in the field and key contact at the plate during Back Mountain’s 6-0 victory over Plains, Noyalis tried to drop a bunt. From his cleanup spot in Back Mountain’s lineup. Never mind that Noyalis attempted to bunt just twice during his time with Dallas High School and Back Mountain this season – “If that,” he said. Or that Noyalis finished that at-bat by giving Back Mountain a 2-0 lead with a grounder. Noyalis was more concerned about his failure to advance two runners up with a wayward bunt than he was accepting any fanfare after victory. “That was ugly,” Noyalis said. “I’ve got to work on that.” Now you know why Back Mountain will take the honor of being the Wyoming Valley’s top seed into the doubleelimination Region 5 Tournament, which opens Saturday at Central Columbia. “That exemplifies what Marc Noyalis is about,” Back Mountain coach Tom Evans said. “He’s a team guy and he plays to win. He’s our veteran, he’s our team leader. We’re a team of winners. “And it’s basically because of Marc.” That seems strange, because sometimes it seems Noyalis can’t win for losing. “I haven’t won anything,” Noyalis said, “since I was 12 years old in districts.” The key is he never stopped trying. And nobody tried harder than Noyalis when it came to aiming for the top. He reached far to his left and snagged a bases-loaded liner, then tagged a runner to help Back Mountain escape first-inning danger Tuesday. He did a near-split to snap up a throw in the third inning, just nipping a hard-charging Plains runner at first. It was Noyalis who got the first hit and first RBI after Back Mountain had gone hitless through the first 3 2/3 innings. And in the last inning, when Plains loaded the bases again, Noyalis stretched way across his body and far to his right to snare a relay throw while holding the bag to complete a game-ending double play. “That stretch, he always makes a spectacular play like that,” said Back Mountain pitcher Brian Stepniak, who can thank Noyalis for his seven-hit shutout. “It’s ridiculous. I play school ball with him. I’m confident most of the time he’s going to catch the ball.” Even as Noyalis catches guff for his pregame routines. “He always has the stretch bands, it takes him a long time to warm up,” Stepniak laughed. “If it works for him, I just let him do it.” It allows Noyalis to do his thing, which means playing like a champion with or without a title in sight. And that’s not stretching the truth.

MMA

Main event features undefeated local fighter By TOM ROBINSON For the Times Leader

The first Mixed Martial Arts event at Mohegan Sun Arena will feature a mixture of performers as well as the disciplines they use to try to produce success. “We took some of the best local talent and matched it up with some of the best fighters from other areas,” said Jonathan Kernis, who along with Mike Malast is promoting Saturday’s card. Kernis, from Hazleton, and Malast, from Exeter, formed Mixed Martial Arts Super Sports (MASS) Productions, which will promote its Inaugu-

ration card that night. The main event is one of the many examples of a fighter who has built a strong reputation locally taking on someone from outside northeastern Pennsylvania. Jim Hettes from Swoyersville, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu specialist who has posted 10 firstround submissions while going

11-0, will meet Jacob Kirwan from Maryland. Hettes is 7-0 as a pro after going 4-0 as an amateur. Kirwan is 8-2 as a pro after winning a Ring of Combat featherweight title in February in Atlantic City. He also won all three of his amateur fights. Kernis and Malast own the Web site MMAmelee.com, which they have carried over to producing a card of their own for the first time. “I have a passion for it,” said Kernis, who also competes and trains in MMA. “I think it’s a great opportunity.” Kernis said he believes that Malast, 27, is the youngest li-

censed MMA promoter in the country. The card will feature some of the same fighters who have appeared at smaller venues during the Pennsylvania Cage Fight Series, which has seen Northeast MMA produce eight cards, primarily in downtown Scranton. Freeland’s Chase Owens, whoimproved to 2-0 as a pro with awin in Cage Fight 8 June 26, will be part of the pro card. Clark Summit’s James Cianci, also 2-0 as a pro, is also scheduled. Scranton’s Dave Morgan was originally scheduled but had to back out with a rib injury.

Owens will take on Rex Harris, a former Wilkes University wrestler, who is ready to make his MMA professional debut. Harris is 3-0 in amateur MMA bouts and is also unbeaten in boxing and kickboxing. Cianci will face Ryan Harder (3-1) of York. “James is real well-rounded,” Kernis said. “He’s a hard-worker who sets a terrific pace.” The other scheduled professional bouts are Jay Haas (9-6) vs. Nicholas Bleser (3-4), Joseph Henle (4-0-1) vs. Lewis Rumsey (5-5) andRichard Patishnock (1-0)vs. Diego Peclat (1-2). Henle is a former Ultimate Fighter contestant.

Hazleton’s Michael Zola and Dave Spadell Jr., former LakeLehman wrestler Willie Weber andformer Wyoming Valley West wrestler Steve Mytych are allpart of an amateur card, which Kernis says will include additional fights. Kernis said Zola has two wins by quick submissions. Spadell (4-2) will face Jeremiah Wells (2-0).Weber will be making his debut against Anthony McGlynn (0-1). Mytych (2-0) will take on Samo Beharovic. Tickets are priced at $35, $45, $60, $80 and $150 and can be purchased at the Mohegan Sun at Casey Plaza box office or through ticketmaster.com.

Canzler homer lifts IL stars

GWA tops Pittston Twp. Brewers: K-Rod will

By JASON FRANCHUK For The Times Leader

SALT LAKE CITY — Russ Canzler found himself hitting lower than he’s used to and playing out of his comfort zone a little bit in the field. He still found quite a way to make an impact. The 25-year-old Hazelton resident, representing the Durham Bulls in his first Triple-A AllStar Game appearance, smacked a three-run home run early Canzler Wednesday evening. It came in the second inning on the second pitch to give the International League a 3-0 lead. That score held up as the International team defeated the Pacific Coast League team, 3-0. Canzler, who came in hitting .290 with 10 home runs and 53 RBI, didn’t waste any time showing why he was shipped to Utah for the festivities. With runners on first and second, facing a left-handed pitcher, the righty swinger took the first pitch low before hitting the second one to right-center field about 370 feet from home plate. There were two outs at the time. Canzler previously played some minor-league ball in high-altitude areas in Arizona and Idaho as part of the Chicago Cubs farm system. He mentioned Monday night, while watching some of the home run derby, that he was excited to be back in the west. He thrived in it, so did Scranton/Wilkes-Barre pitcher Adam Warren — who had never battled thin air before. Warren, a late replacement because of some IL roster changes that included a few other Yankees, needed just 12 pitches to exit the third inning relatively unscathed. He induced a warning-track fly ball and a meek grounder before allowing one batter to reach base because of error. A harmless flyout to centerfield let Warren’s shortstop at the time off the hook. Speaking of fielding, it had been about a month since Canzler last played the hot corner, with most of his time coming in the outfield. He didn’t get to showcase his glove, however, as no ball was hit his way in his first six innings of defense. Canzler said upon arriving in Salt Lake City that he was eager to show off his versatility. Warren, meanwhile, was a righty looking to keep being overpowering. He earned the trip after starting the year with a 6-3 record along with 57 strikeouts (3.20 ERA). Perhaps the only difference was how the Spring Mobile Ballpark crowd perceived them. Canzler was cheered for putting the first runs on the board. Warren had to settle for silence at the end of his two innings, which included a called third strike that finished his night.

MILWAUKEE — With their trade for Francisco Rodriguez, the Milwaukee Brewers now can call on a pair of potential closers. And in a tense ninth-inning situation, it sounds as if either Rodriguez or John Axford could get in the game. Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said both Rodriguez and Axford, the team’s current closer, will get chances to finish games as Milwaukee makes a push for the playoffs. “We’re not going to get involved with the roles at this time,” Melvin said Wednesday. “When you’re a championship club, you need to have everybody pulling together.” Melvin said he talked to both Rodriguez and Axford in the wake of the trade with the New York Mets, which came together quickly Tuesday and was announced almost immediately after the All-Star game. The Mets sent Rodriguez and cash to Milwaukee for two players to be named. Melvin told Axford, who has a 2.83 ERA and 23 saves this season, to “not get nervous” about the addition. Melvin said he’s confident both Rodriguez and Axford will be willing to adjust to less-defined roles, whether they’re setting up, closing or sitting in the

out at you, not only our starters but also the consistency of our bullpen and the fact we had two kids (Bastardo and Stutes) step in and really pitch good for us,” manager Charlie Manuel said. “That became big. Hopefully we can keep going and have a big second half.” The Phillies are 57-34, 31⁄2 games ahead of Atlanta in their quest for a fifth straight NL East title. They’ve got a long way to go in a season where only a World Series championship would be considered a success. “I think it’s been good,” left fielder Raul Ibanez said, assessing the first half. “We’re in a good position. We’re in the situation that a lot of teams would like to be in. I think we can do better. The potential is there to be even better than the first half. It’s an exciting time, it’s a lot of fun.” Ibanez isn’t kidding. The Phillies can be better because they’re due to get some key players back. It should only help when starters Roy Oswalt and Joe Blanton and relievers Ryan Madson, Jose Contreras and Brad Lidge return from the disabled list. Oswalt, the fourth ace, started out 3-0. But he hurt his back, struggled and landed on the DL. Madson was outstanding filling in as the closer, converting 15 of 16 save chances, before a hand injury forced him to the bench.

bullpen on any given night. “There’s three or four games every night that are lost in the seventh, eighth or Rodriguez ninth innings,” Melvin said. “And if you look at most of these ballclubs that win, and consider themselves teams that are going to be headed to championships or playoffs, they all have identifiable or recognizable guys pitching the eighth and the ninth innings.” Of course, giving the ball to Rodriguez every night could be costly. Melvin said the Brewers were aware of a clause in Rodriguez’s contract that guarantees him $17.5 million in 2012 if he finishes 55 games this year. The right-hander has finished 34 and is on pace to achieve the mark. “I think that’s what scared a lot of teams off,” Melvin said. “But the opportunity arose, we had the chance to get someone the caliber of K-Rod.” It’s unlikely that the Brewers could afford that salary next season, but the contract clause could become a moot point if Rodriguez and Axford share closer duties. “In a pennant race, there’s a chance you could go out and have six straight one-run ballgames,” Melvin said. “There’s no way that any one guy can close six games in a row.”

Overall, the Phillies lead the majors with a 3.02 ERA. Hamels (2.32), Halladay (2.45) and Lee (2.82) are among the top seven in the NL. “After having Roy, Roy and myself and adding Cliff, that was something we expected,” Hamels said of the dominant pitching. “I think it’s great, but at the same time, it’s the first half and not the full season. Try to take the positives and still work as hard as I can and try to get better. That’s the nature we have on our pitching staff that we can always get better.” Offensively, there’s certainly room for improvement. The Phillies used to outslug teams, and they mashed their way to the 2008 World Series title. But Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard aren’t producing the way they once did. There’s still a need for another righthanded bat in the lineup, and their two All-Star regulars, Shane Victorino and Placido Polanco, are hurt. The Phillies are 20th in the majors in batting average (.250), 14th in runs scored (384) and 18th in homers (78). “I expect us to score more runs, especially if we can get our team back and get healthy,” Manuel said. “When Victorino went into the five-hole, he started showing us some consistency and if we can get Polly well, he’s a .300 hitter.” Despite obvious concerns, Manuel is pleased with the team’s performance so far.

Americans are afterthought as Open tees off Player from U.S. hasn’t won a major since Phil Mickelson captured the 2010 Masters. By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

SANDWICH, England — Tiger Woods is back home, nursing a sore leg. The rest of American golf isn’t doing so well, either. The U.S. is mired in its longest drought of the modern Grand Slam era, having gone five straight majors without a victory. Phil Mickelson was the last American to capture a title, more

than a year ago at the 2010 Masters. Since then, it’s been two golfers from Northern Ireland (Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell), two from South Africa (Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen) and one from Germany (Martin Kaymer). While players from all over the world describe the U.S. slump as nothing more than cyclical, Nick Watney concedes that it’s getting a bit bothersome. “You never want to hear you’re inferior,” he said Wednesday. Coming into the British Open, Europeans hold the top four spots in the world rankings. Steve

Stricker is the highest American at No. 5. With Woods sidelined by an injury, the 22-year-old McIlroy is a solid favorite to follow up his eight-stroke victory at the U.S. Open with another major title at Royal St. George’s. The bookies also like a pair of Englishmen who happen to be1-2 in the world rankings, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood. The Americans? Just an afterthought on the eve of the opening round. “In the grand scheme of things, it’s not such a big deal. In 40 years time, it will look like a blip,” said

Padraig Harrington of Ireland, a three-time major winner. “But when you look at the smaller picture, it’s easy to say that Europe has become dominant in golf — until you remember that two of those majors were won by South Africans. They’re a strong country, too. And I think the next few majors might be won by the Australians.” As in many sports, from basketball to tennis to swimming, the rest of the world has sliced into America’s once-commanding position. Golf is no different, with 24 nations represented at this seaside course in southern England.

Some of them, it would seem, have only tapped into their potential. “Certainly we all expect that in the next couple of decades, Asia is going to have a very strong presence in the game of golf,” Mickelson said. But for all the talk about this being more about the rest of the world catching up than the Americans falling off, it’s clear the most recent generation of U.S. golfers has yet to fulfill its potential. Remember all the fresh young faces on the team that stunned Europe in the 2008 Ryder Cup, 20-somethings such as Anthony

Kim and Hunter Mahan and J.B. Holmes? None of them has broken through in a major, and Kim might be the most mystifying of all. Tapped to be the next great American player, Kim has yet to recapture his swing since thumb surgery and only got into the British Open as an alternate. Another batch of youngsters has shown potential, led by 27year-old Dustin Johnson. He was leading by three strokes going to the final round of last year’s U.S. Open, but an 82 opened the door for McDowell’s win.

R&A will review Northern Ireland as site By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

N O T E

SANDWICH, England — The last time the British Open was held outside Britain was 60 years ago, when Max Faulkner won at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. The Royal & Ancient has been asked over the years if it would ever go back. The question takes on new meaning these days. Graeme McDowell of Northern Ireland won the U.S. Open last year at Pebble Beach. Then it was Rory McIlroy winning the U.S. Open last month at Congressional. Only one player from Britain — Paul Lawrie of Scotland in 1999 at Carnoustie — has won a major in the last 15 years. Is it time? “Obviously, there’s much emotion about Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy’s victories and why don’t we go back to Northern Ireland and perhaps Portrush in particular,” R&A chief Peter Dawson said Wednesday. “And I understand that. You can’t, however, hold the Open on where players come from. I think that should be obvious to anyone.” Dawson said although Portrush might be strong enough to hold the Open, there are concerns whether it has enough

hotels and roads for such a big event, and whether it will be attractive to corporate sponsors and the fans. “Not ruling it out by any stretch of the imagination,” Dawson said. “But it would have to meet all those criteria, and I don’t think it’s something that’s going to be in any way imminent. But it’s certainly something we’ll have a look at again in view of the success of the golfers from that part of the world.” Turnberry was out of the rotation for 15 years because the roads were deemed inadequate along that part of the Ayrshire coast. Royal Liverpool went nearly 40 years without an Open because there wasn’t enough room on the property. Both those situations were remedied and held memorable championships with strong crowds. “At Royal Portrush, there is the second course there, so there’s not a land issue on site,” Dawson said. “It’s more road access, quantity of hotels, what would the level of corporate support be, what would the crowd size be, things of that nature.”

OPEN

Even so, it’s not always the same for everyone. The piece of information getting most of the attention on the eve of the British Open was the weather report. The forecast is for gusts up to 25 mph Thursday morning with patches of rain, before the wind tapers off in the afternoon. The wind is expected to remain moderate Friday morning, then switch directions and return to gusts upward of 25 mph by the end of the day. If that holds true, the players teeing off early Thursday and late Friday could get the worst of it. And as a reminder of how significant the tee times can be, remember that Louis Oosthuizen teed off at 6:41 a.m. in the second round last year at St. Andrews, missed the worst of the weather

Open rotation. This is the course where Greg Norman in 1993 became the first Open champion to win with all four rounds in the 60s. It’s the same course where Ben Curtis was the only player to break par when it was last here in 2003. A dry spring has kept the rough from getting too thick, which is but a small reprieve. “It’s a big challenge, and we are the best players in the world here,” PGA champion Martin Kaymer said. “So it should be tough. At the end of the day, everybody has to deal with the same golf course.”

His cell phone was ringing, and McDowell fumbled in his pocket for it before handing it to his caddie to answer. “We saw you a couple times,” the caddie told the caller. “You didn’t see us?”

BAD MEMORIES Thomas Bjorn isn’t the only player to return to Royal St. George’s with some memories he would like to erase.

Among the early starters Thursday: Rory McIlroy, the overwhelming favorite to add the claret jug to his U.S. Open trophy. McIlroy, who has not played since his record-setting win at Congressional last month, did most of his preparation last week at Royal St. George’s. He played in a strong, southwesterly wind, which is typical this time of the year. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland played at 6:30 a.m. Wednesday in a wind coming out of the opposite direction. He played at the same time Tiger Woods used to practice, and while the gallery for McIlroy wasn’t quite as large, the kid caused a frenzy when fans tried to get his autograph after he fin-

ished. For the rest of the day, officials banned autographs in the area leading from the 18th green. It’s a different test for McIlroy, with conditions much more firm and dry than at the U.S. Open. “It’s firm. It’s fast,” he said. “But the thing is with this wind, you’re going to have to keep the ball low. But sometimes it’s hard to run the ball into these greens because they’re so undulating and they can go so many different ways.” The wind direction during three days’ of practice has the Royal & Ancient concerned enough that it might move some tees forward. Chief executive Peter Dawson said the most likely candidates were the par-5 seventh (some players couldn’t reach the fairway) and the par-3

11th (Phil Mickelson couldn’t reach the green with a driver). Then there’s the par-4 13th, where Stricker hit driver off the tee and driver off the deck to get it near the green. “Now, if the wind turns around, it’s a different story,” Dawson said. It’s different for everybody — even in the same group. Stewart Cink, who won at Turnberry two years ago, was reminded of that while playing a practice round with Davis Love III, Lucas Glover and two-time Open champion Padraig Harrington. They came to the par-3 sixth hole, which measures 162 yards to the front edge of a green that is 35 yards deep. They all hit pitching wedge with the wind in their favor.

“Some of them were short by about 50 feet, and some of them went through the green into the rough,” Cink said. “And they all landed within 5 yards of each other.” So what does it take on this most difficult links? McIlroy believes the second shot will be key. Luke Donald, the No. 1 player in the world, emphasized chipping and putting because the greens are so difficult. Kaymer favored the 10-foot putts, many of which will be for par. K.J. Choi, who won The Players Championship in May and is having one of his best years, spoke in English to describe his experience, and while the sentences were short, the meaning was clear.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

Newcomer leads Japan victory The Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Germany — Homare Sawa made up for a huge error by scoring the go-ahead goal and Japan advanced to the World Cup final with a 3-1 victory over Sweden on Wednesday. Surprise call-up Nahomi Kawasumi had two goals for Japan, which will face the United States in Sunday’s championship. It’s the first World Cup final for the rising soccer power. Kawasumi had just played 29 minutes in the tournament before coach Norio Sasaki started her in Japan’s biggest game ever. “She is very tough and fit,” he said. “I didn’t ask her to score two goals but she did an excellent job.” Josefine Oqvist scored for Sweden, which allowed three unanswered goals. In a battle of Japan’s fine skills against the thrust and hustle of Sweden, the match turned in the second half when Kawasumi caught Hedvig Lindahl off her line and lobbed it over her from about 110 feet away for the final score, one of the best in a tournament full of excellent strikes.

Japan players celebrate winning the semifinal match against Sweden in the Womens Soccer World Cup on Wednesday.

Sawa’s goal also gave her four for the tournament to tie her with Brazil’s Marta. Sawa though still has one game left to before the top scorer of her fifth World Cup. The Japanese players always had more on their minds than their next game in the marquee event for women’s soccer. In the wake of the March11tsunami and earthquake, they wanted to provide a feel-good story for fans back home. And they came through.

Following their latest win, they again unfurled a huge banner that said “To our Friends Around the World — Thank You for Your Support,” referring to the global outpouring of aid after the tsunami, that left nearly 23,000 dead or missing. “What we have been doing so far is very good for Japan,” Sasaki said. “We are still recovering from the disaster. there were so many victims,” he said. “Even little things, like a win

can give people courage and hope.” When Japan faced favored Germany in the quarterfinals, coach Norio Sasaki showed her players heart-tugging pictures from the victims of the tsunami shortly before the game to give them more resolve. He didn’t need the tactic Wednesday; his team had enough determination to overcome an early mistake by one of its best players. Team captain Sawa made an uncharacteristic error in the 10th and fed a defensive pass straight to Oqvist. She gladly took it, ran through the defense and got a lucky deflection to bury the ball past goalie Ayumi Kaihori. Many in the crowd of 45,434 at Commerzbank Arena thought Sweden would use its vast experience to control the play once it got the lead. Turns out Japan was ready. Japan tied it nine minutes later when Kawasumi somehow got a foot on a cross from star Aya Miyama and pushed it through the legs of goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl.

watch the match,” said former Lake-Lehman girls soccer coach Charlie Hampel. “I figured it’d be better to watch it amongst soccer fans.” Hampel and other patrons cheered animatedly when Abby Wambach headed a corner kick by Lauren Cheney into the net to give the United States a 2-1 lead in the 79th minute. High-fives were still being thrown when Alex Morgan clinched the match with a goal in the 82nd minute.

The new roof of the Metrodome, home of the Minnesota Vikings, is in place after it was inflated Wednesday for the first time since last December’s collapse due to heavy snow.

New roof raised in Minnesota By DAVE CAMPBELL AP Sports Writer

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings have a roof over their helmets once again. Seven months after the Metrodome’s Teflon-coated fiberglass ceiling collapsed in a snowstorm, forcing the Vikings to play their final two home games last season elsewhere, the new roof has been raised in plenty of time for the first preseason game. Stadium officials and construction workers inflated the roof Wednesday morning as a test. No problems popped up, so the roof of the 29-year-old stadium will stay up while the finishing touches are put on a rebuilding project that began in March. “There doesn’t seem to be any issues whatsoever,” said Ted Mondale, the chairman of the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, the agency that operates the facility officially known as Mall of America Field. The new roof sits a little lower than before, to better withstand strong winds and help prevent snow from piling up in drifts. But it still sports the puffy, muffin-top look that frames the east side of the downtown Minneapolis skyline. The 10-acre sur“That’s sweet,” Hampel yelled. Heather Tennytone and Kiki Miller – who refer to themselves as the women’s team’s “biggest supporters” – were able to take time away from their jobs at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs to catch the Yanks play live for the first time this World Cup. “We work crazy hours so I normally don’t get to watch it,” said Miller, a Bear Creek resident who played soccer at Division II Pfeiffer University in Charlotte, N.C. “This game worked out perfectly. I had to watch the Brazil game a day later.” Tennytone and Miller watch the women’s team enough that

first NFL work stoppage since 1987 becomes greater. Deadlines are coming up next week to get training camps and the preseason started on time. Although it seems the sides have agreed on the basic elements of how to split more than $9 billion in annual revenues, among the key sticking points recently have been how to structure a new rookie salary system and what free agency will look like. In a statement released to The Associated Press via the NFL Players Association, New England’s Brady, Indianapolis’ Manning and New Orleans’ Brees said: “We believe the overall proposal made by the players is fair for both sides and it is time to get this deal done.” They continued: “This is the time of year we as players turn our attention to the game on the field. We hope the owners feel the same way.” In response, the NFL issued a statement saying: “We share the view that now is the time to reach an agreement so we can all get back to football and a full 2011 season. We are working hard with the players’ negotiating team every day to complete an agreement as soon as possible.” Brady, Manning and Brees are among 10 players who are named plaintiffs in an antitrust suit that is pending in federal court in Minnesota. That class-action lawsuit was filed March 11, hours after federally mediated negotiations to arrive at a new collective bargaining agreement broke down, and the old labor contract expired. The NFLPA immediately dissolved itself, meaning players no longer were protected under labor law but instead were allowed to take their chances under antitrust law. On March 12, the owners imposed a lockout on the players, a right management has to shut down a business when a CBA expires. During the lockout, there can be no communication between the teams and current NFL players; no players — including those drafted in April — can be signed; teams won’t pay for players’ health insurance.

MSFC director of facilities and engineering Steve Maki sat in the football press box as the roof was quietly and steadily lifted to full height in about 45 minutes. Workers with poles watched from the upper deck to make sure the inner lining didn’t snag on the way up. Five others kept watch on top, casting silhouettes in the morning sun as they walked back and forth. Most of the construction work should be done by Aug. 1, which will trigger a $500,000 bonus for Amherst, N.Y.-based contractor Birdair Inc., the company that also designed and installed the original roof. The project cost $22.7 million, including $18 million for the roof itself, and it’s covered by the MSFC’s insurance. The artificial turf was also damaged when the roof broke open and snow poured in, and that might have to be replaced, too, but Maki said that work, if necessary, would be done by Aug. 18. The surface, installed just last summer, has been covered in plywood during the project. Bids are in, and Maki said a decision on whether new turf is

Vikings vice president for public affairs and stadium development Lester Bagley said the team is appreciative of the work. “We’re going to get our homefield advantage back,” Bagley said. The roof collapsed after a storm that brought 17 inches of snow in a 24-hour span and high winds that prevented stadium workers from clearing the roof. No one was hurt, but the Vikings were forced to shift home games to Detroit’s Ford Field and then to the University of Minnesota, losing both times. It was the fourth roof collapse at the facility, but the first since 1983. Enough damage was done that the entire roof needed to be replaced, rather than just the damaged diamond-shaped panels. Under the new roof, some of the dinginess is gone and the inner lining is smaller, allowing more sunlight. New acoustical panels were also hung from the roof to improve the stadium’s sound quality.

Contador, who has been hamvendish nearly lost a shoe in the final stretch but kept his cool to win a rainy 11th stage of the Tour de France in a mass sprint Wednesday, easily beating Andre Greipel of Germany at the line to seize the leading sprinter’s green jersey. French rider Thomas Voeckler kept the race leader’s yellow jersey after the 104.1-mile trek from Blaye-les-Mines to Lavaur. Voeckler finished 75th in the stage but with the same time as the winner. Cavendish made the most of the last stage designed for sprinters before the race reaches the Pyrenees to claim his 18th stage win at the Tour, his third in this year’s race. He won in 3 hours, 46 minutes, 7 seconds. “It’s incredible to have the green jersey. It’s the most beautiful jersey in the world,” said Cavendish, who got an assist from HTC-Highroad teammate Mark Renshaw. Cavendish’s efforts were almost ruined toward the end when he hit the front wheel of Frenchman Romain Feillu’s bike. “There were 10 of us close together and my shoe banged into his front wheel,” he said. “My foot technically came out of the shoe — I had to reach down and slide the ratchet and redo it with 600 meters to go. I was lucky there were no swerves in the peloton. It could have been quite dangerous.” Cavendish, who took the green jersey from Philippe Gilbert of Belgium, now leads Jose Joaquin Rojas by 16 points. He will have two more opportunities to win stages before the race ends on the Champs Elysees on July 24. Despite his impressive tally of stage wins at the Grande Boucle, the coveted sprint champion’s jersey has so far eluded the 26-year-old Cavendish. He was second last year, 11 points behind Alessandro Petacchi of Italy, and second by 10 points to two-time sprint champion Thor Hushovd in 2009. Cavendish pulled out before the Alpine stages in 2008 to conserve energy for the Olympics. Voeckler said he was expecting to lose his yellow jersey during Thursday’s 12th stage, which takes the riders on the first of a three-day trek across the Pyrenees with a punishing 131-mile ride over the legendary col du Tourmalet and finishing on top of Luz-Ardiden. The stage is likely to be a key moment of the race. It also features a new climb, the Hour-

Shares retreat late in day

Comments from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke set off a stock market rally early Wednesday, but it wasn’t long before another Fed official cut it short. In testimony before Congress, Bernanke said the central bank would be open to new economic stimulus measures, but only if the economy gets much worse. The remarks were far from a promise for more Fed action, but markets reacted immediately nonetheless. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped as many as 164 points. Most of those gains evaporated later in the day after Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher said in a speech that the Fed had already “pressed the limits of monetary policy.” Stocks also took a hit in the afternoon when House Speaker John Boehner called into question whether lawmakers would agree to raise the government’s borrowing limit by an Aug. 2 deadline.

WASHINGTON — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday that the central bank is prepared to provide additional stimulus if the economic lull persists. Delivering his twice-a-year economic report to Congress, Bernanke laid out three options the central bank would consider. One possibility, he said, was another round of Treasury bond buying. That would make the third such effort since 2009.

Fed Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testifies on Capitol Hill Wednesday.

The Fed chief’s reassurances helped drive stock prices higher, but it also underscored the fragile state of the economy more than two years after economists said the recession had ended. Un-

employment has risen for three straight months and a debt crisis in Greece and other European countries threatens to weaken the global economy. Bernanke warned U.S. lawmakers that their failure to raise the nation’s borrowing limit by Aug. 2 could trigger a major financial crisis. He said that if government defaults on its debt, it would throw “shock waves through the entire financial system.” Bernanke said more stimulus would only be necessary if economic conditions worsened and deflation reemerged as a threat. Deflation is a destabilizing period of falling prices. He also said the Fed was nimble enough to respond if the opposite happened. He said the Fed was ready to

raise interest rates that have been held at record lows for nearly three years, should the central bank fear a greater risk of inflation. “We have to keep all options on the table,” Bernanke told the House Financial Services Committee on the first of two days of Capitol Hill testimony. “If we get to the point where the recovery is faltering” and inflation is dropping toward zero, then the central bank would consider the additional stimulus options, he said. Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said the Fed would likely hold off on further steps unless deflation emerges as a threat again.

N.Y. Times to pay off loan

The New York Times Co. will repay a $250 million, high-interest loan from Mexican telecommunications billionaire Carlos Slim earlier than expected, allowing the company to reduce interest payments. Companies affiliated with Slim, a shareholder of the Times Co., lent the money at a hefty 14 percent interest rate at the height of the recession in January 2009. It came at a time when credit markets were tight and revenue prospects were bleak because of declines in print advertising. Since then, the Times Co. has found other sources of cash, including the sale of $225 million in notes late last year at a rate of about 6.6 percent.

UMW gets contract deal

Alpha Natural Resources and the United Mine Workers of America have agreed to add two large Pennsylvania mines to a national labor agreement. The UMW announced Wednesday that Virginia-based Alpha has accepted essentially the same contract that was negotiated with the Bituminous Coal Operators Association last month. The new deal covers nearly 1,400 workers at the Cumberland and Emerald mines in Greene County, and is retroactive to July 1.

Warehouse will close

A Dunmore distribution facility will close in September, putting about 200 people out of work.

Deficit high, not record

The federal budget deficit is on track to top $1 trillion for the third straight year. The government said the deficit in the first nine months of the budget year was $971 billion. The gap will probably top last year’s $1.29 trillion, but come in less than the record deficit of $1.41 trillion in 2009.

Cameras are aimed at Chairman of News Corporation Rupert Murdoch, obscured at left, as he leaves News International’s office in London. Murdoch’s News Corp. has dropped its bid to take over British Sky Broadcasting.

Embattled Murdoch drops bid By ROBERT BARR Associated Press

LONDON — In a stunning retreat, Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. dropped its bid Wednesday to take full control of British Sky Broadcasting during what the prime minister called a political and media “firestorm” over phone hacking at one of the media baron’s U.K. newspapers. Murdoch stepped back from making potentially his biggest, most lucrative acquisition, accepting that he could not win British government approval of the takeover since

the country’s major political parties had united against it. “It has become clear that it is too difficult to progress in this climate,” News Corp. deputy chairman and president Chase Carey said. Hours earlier, Prime Minister David Cameron announced he was putting a senior judge in charge of an inquiry into phone hacking and alleged police bribery by one of Murdoch’s British tabloids, News of the World. The British leader also vowed to investigate an allegation that a U.K. reporter may have sought the phone numbers of 9/11 terror

victims in a quest for sensational scoops. It is a bitter irony for Murdoch that News of the World, his first British acquisition in 1969, sabotaged his ambitions to control the nation’s most profitable broadcaster. The media baron had shut down the 168-year-old muckraking tabloid Sunday and flew to London in a desperate scramble to keep the BSkyB bid alive. Murdoch had hoped to gain control of the 61 percent of BSkyB shares that his News Corp. doesn’t already own.

“ … it was beyond belief that Mr. Murdoch could continue with his takeover after these revelations,” said Labour leader Ed Miliband. Cameron appointed Lord Justice Brian Leveson to lead the inquiry, which will be able to compel witnesses — including government figures — to give evidence under oath. Leveson will first investigate the culture, practices and ethics of the press, its relationship with police and the failure of the current system of self-regulation.

SAN FRANCISCO — Some Netflix customers called it a slap in the face. Others a betrayal. Many threatened to drop the movie service. On Wednesday, many of them vented on Twitter, Facebook and elsewhere, seething over Netflix Inc.’s decision to raise its prices by up to 60 percent for the millions of subscribers who want to rent DVDs by mail and watch movies online. By Wednesday afternoon, more than 40,000 people had responded to a post on Netflix’s Facebook page announcing the change, with some saying they would switch to rivals such as Hulu.com’s paid service and to Redbox’s DVD-rental kiosks. While thousands complained on Facebook, Twitter and other websites, with 22.8 million customers in the U.S., it’s clear that plenty of them are not upset about the change. In online postings, a number of users concluded that, even at the higher price, Netflix is still a better deal than competitors. On Tuesday, the company said it was splitting up its two services, which means that subscribers who want both streaming video and DVD-by-mail access will have to get separate plans that cost at least $16 per month total. Netflix had been offering both services as a single package that was available for as little as $10 per month. The price changes took effect immediately for new subscribers, and will begin Sept. 1 for current Netflix customers.

New high-tech stem cell procedures give hope to millions

Whether you’re for or against stem cell research, it’s hard to argue with the results of early experiments, and the potential is astounding. Stem cells are basically human cells that haven’t evolved to perform any particular function. If they’re properly stimulated and cultured, however, they can be turned into lung cells, muscle cells or even nerve cells. Until now the technology has been at a fairly rudimentary stage – basically we can use stem cells in a similar fashion to a concrete “patch” – drop them in and they fill in for damaged or lost parts of organs. Taking it to the next level re-

TECH TALK

NICK DELORENZO quired feats of both a medical and a technological nature. To replace whole organs or body parts – and admittedly, only the most simple of organs, at this point – doctors generate a 3D model of the organ, most commonly via MRI or possibly by mapping it with a laser, and use the scan to create a “scaffold,” a framework upon which they can grow the stem cells. To extend the concrete analogy, in this case the scaffold would be the mold and rebar that the concrete is poured around. It gives form to the stem cells

and allows them to grow into the proper shape. On July 7, Swedish surgeons used this technique to create a “synthetic tissue windpipe,” which they then transplanted into a 36-year-old cancer patient. The windpipe they created was essentially identical to a normal, healthy windpipe, and the surgery was a success. But it gets even better – in this case, because the organ that they grew was made from cells extracted from the patient’s bone marrow, there was no rejection of the transplanted organ by the patient’s immune system, so there was no need to take medication to reduce immune response – currently a major complication with transplant procedures that use donor cells.

The upshot of all of this is that the patient basically gets a perfect replacement of the damaged organ, with no need to take medication, a much lower risk of complications following surgery, and far better quality of life after the operation. As the technique grows more sophisticated, it could possibly be extended to more complicated organs such as the heart, liver or lungs. It is not currently possible to “grow” these organs, given the rather complicated networks of blood vessels and the generally convoluted structure of some organs, as well as several other factors. But it is certainly a distinct possibility in the future – and just a few years ago, it was completely impossible.

What’s up with

Ford’s U.S. sales are up 12 percent this year. Its $2.6 billion firstquarter profit was its best in 13 years. The new Explorer SUV and the Focus compact are selling as fast as Ford can build them. So why is the stock down 21 percent this year? The S&P 500 is up 6 percent. That question perplexes financial analysts. They recommend that investors buy Ford. Many analysts blame economic factors. The high cost of gas. The European debt crisis. Stagnant U.S. employment.

Jefferies analyst Peter Nesvold expects Ford stock to sell for $19 in the next year, pumped up by a new Escape small SUV and more compact vehicles. He says Ford has been able to raise prices although buyers are avoiding large, expensive vehicles. Longer term, Nesvold said the company has realistic international expansion plans, including new plants in China and India. But Ford has cautioned that the second quarter wasn’t as good as the first.

introductions slowing next year. Gary Bradshaw, portfolio manager for Hodges Capital Management, says Ford could earn a $3 per share operating profit in two years, up from $1.91 last year. More people who have older vehicles will be replacing them. The drop in gas prices toward a national average of $3.50 could be what Ford needs. Cheaper gas means the company will be able to sell more pickup trucks and SUVs. It makes more money from bigger vehicles.

A sunbather’s delight! Northerly winds overnight have once again delivered another mass of very dry air setting the stage for a gorgeous day today and another for tomorrow. At this point, there is little or no chance for rain lasting through Saturday, so the garden will need to be watered. Our rainfall this summer is still a little above normal, and it's been a slightly warmer-thannormal summer so far. The coming weekend should also feature a good deal of hot sunshine, and for most of next week temperatures will be trending above normal. There's a full “Buck” moon tonight. - Tom Clark

To dress up an otherwise-casual look, pair shorts with a crisp button-down shirt and a cropped blazer.

Make your work shorts long on style By SAMANTHA CRITCHELL AP Fashion Writer

INNEAPOLIS — How dare Hollywood churn out a children’s film that drives its audience to tears when heartless outsiders murder a beloved character? How dare they kill Bambi’s mom? In 1942, many worried that the Disney cartoon would be too emotionally wrenching for kids. That concern resonates with parents nearly 70 See POTTER, Page 2C

Stars are flipping for the latest hair trend By MELISSA MAGSAYSAY Los Angeles Times

Celebrities and the cool girls who want to look like them are sporting a new, but familiar, look in hair — the deep side part. A part that’s an inch or two farther to the side may seem insignificant, but the way in which celebs such as Jessica Alba, Blake Lively and Kristen Stewart are doing it certainly makes a statement that’s casual, flirty and reminiscent of a 1980s Valley girl. Alba in particular has been wearing a deep side part with a starting point that sometimes looks to be near her ear. The part gives the hair that’s flipped over to the other side of her head some volume and a wave that appears to be waiting to get teased, curled and sprayed as was in vogue through the early ’90s. Lively and Stewart also are eschewing the typical middle-parted, L.A. bo-

ho hair and are going for something edgier in Stewart’s case, and evocative of Veronica Lake in Lively’s version. “They’re giving us a retro glamour that’s less formal than finger waves,” says celebrity hairstylist Scott Cunha, who styles Nicole Richie and Lucy Hale. “The part is deep to the side, but the rest is loose, wavy and a little undone.” He recommends using the arch of the eyebrow as a good marker of where to start a deep side part. “You don’t want it over as far your ear,” Cunha says. Use a comb to make a clean part and rub a little volumizing mousse through the hair to give it some wave and body. Otherwise a deep side part plus flat hair will leave you looking like a trendy drowned rat. Lively’s hair with its deep side part always manages to look lovely and elegant.

are generally parted deeply at one side, so that about two-thirds of it cascades down the side for a modern-day, more laid-back version of Lake’s famous ’do. On the other end of the spectrum, Stewart’s take on the trend is edgy and definitely a little rock ’n’ roll. She showed up to the recent MTV Movie Awards with a deep side part and tons of body in her hair. “I loved her look at the MTV Movie Awards,” Cunha says. “She really got the whole thing right.”

NEW YORK — Is it OK to wear shorts to the office on days with record-setting temperatures? Designer runways might have you think so. Short suits were a trend in spring-summer womenswear collections. They’re also showing up in fall and resort collections. Seen on the models, with their perfect spray tans, long legs and high heels, there’s little to quibble with. They appear polished, stylish and appropriate — and that’s what everyone should strive for with this look, according to experts. “Shorts can really replace a skirt — they’re actually easier to move in,” says Colleen Sherin, senior fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue. “What’s the difference between shorts and a skirt — even if they’re the same length? It’s that shorts are perceived as casual by nature, something that children wear, something we wear on weekends. That perception is changing.” But pick your ensemble carefully to make sure your look isn’t too casual. Sherin likes to see women heading into the office wearing knee-length shorts that are either slim and tapered or wider with a cuff, made of cotton poplin or gabardine. Linen will keep you cool, but may end up rumpled, she warns. Pair the shorts with a crisp buttondown shirt and a cropped blazer, she says. The strappy sandal is a must-do accessory, too, and a chunky platform version in a neutral color will elongate the appearance of the leg, according to Sherin. An espadrille is an acceptable alternative. However, flip-flops really don’t ever belong at the office, and the casualness of those items are exaggerated by shorts, Sherin says. Style commentator Mary Alice Stephenson treats her weekday shorts as if they were dresses, and that can mean pairing them with jewelry and pumps. With a heel, though, be aware of the length of the shorts. Stephenson advises: “Keep them long. ... Think Bermuda.” She adds, “Cargo shorts, denim shorts and Daisy Dukes cannot come out to play at work. Keep your shorts classy and stick to a more demure short.” Pleats are OK, and so is a high waist, she says, but anything too showy or too beachy is not. How do you know if shorts are acceptable at your office? If starched shirts are the norm, then maybe you should save your shorts for the weekend. But if women are walking around in sleeveless dresses or miniskirts, the office culture might be trendy enough for shorts. Maybe start with shorts on a casual Friday and gauge that reaction before wearing them to a Monday-morning presentation, says Stephenson, who styles celebrities, runway collections and magazine photo shoots. If it’s hot enough, the rules might be relaxed. Elayne Seligman, a parent coordinator at a public school in the Bronx, typically wears a suit to work. But on a recent Thursday, when temperatures soared into the 90s in New York City, Seligman wore black linen walking shorts. “I really never wear shorts to work, but I am today because it’s so hot,” Seligman says. “Today everyone is quite dressed down — even the principal is in flats, and she always wears See SHORTS, Page 2C

years later as “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” the final and most violent installment in cinema’s most popular franchise ever, opens Friday in movie theaters worldwide. Angie Andresen hasn’t decided whether she’ll take her 9year-old, Maggie, to see it, even though her daughter can’t get enough of the J.K. Rowling series. She’s seen only the first two movies but started devouring the seven books in March and is so eager to finish the last one that she stayed up until the ripe ol’ time of 10 o’clock one recent night. Maggie admits she was affected by the deaths of two major characters, but conversations with Mom while biking or being tucked in proved helpful. “I was sad about parts, but we talked about it, and I got over it,” she said. Maggie has seen the new movie’s trailer, a loud, frantic affair with ominous music and bodies spiraling into fire. It looks “pretty spooky,” she said, but she really wants to see the entire PG-13 film. Mom’s not on board. Yet. “I’m not so concerned about death as a topic, because it’s something we’ve dealt with as a family, but I am concerned about the violence,” said Andresen, a vice president at the marketing firm Fleishman-Hillard. “It’s just so visual when it’s on a big screen, and I’m worried about — this may sound silly — bad dreams. I remember when I was 12, my dad took me to see ‘Poltergeist.’ I had some nightmares after that.” Movies also gave a young Pete Hautman his fair share of sleepless nights. The Minnesota author who’s written several acclaimed young-adult novels, including “Godless,” Hautman remembers being terrorized at age 4 by “Bambi” and, strangely enough, “The Nutcracker.” “It was that ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.’ I just started hysterically crying,” he said. “It still freaks me out when I hear the music.” But Hautman doesn’t have any regrets. He thinks being scared from time to time is a critical part of growing up. “There’s this fanatical protection of society, particularly in America and Europe, that’s gotten to the point where kids aren’t being allowed to develop

heels. Some teachers are in long shorts.” At the Manhattan public relations firm where 24-year-old Esther Akutekha works, there isn’t a strict uniform, but there is a line — that just-above-theknee line — that shouldn’t be crossed. “You don’t want to be too sexy regardless of how casual we are here,” she says. Designer Jason Wu says shorts can be worn anywhere, but they have to be worn as a total look, and that look has to be dressed up. He stepped up shorts at a show Monday by complementing a pair of black ones with a tweed jacket with leather trim and a tuxedo-style shirt. “The new short goes from beach to cocktails,” he says. The look is easier for women to experiment with than for men. “I don’t sanction men wearing them to the office in any way shape or form,” says trend analyst Tom Julian, president of Tom Julian Group. The problem for most men is that the rest of their closet can’t support dressier shorts — they have neither the right shoes (driving moccasins, boat shoes or clean, canvas sneakers) nor the right shirt (a safari style or a polo, not a T-shirt or a tank). He makes the exception for an office-sponsored field trip to the ballpark or golf course. But not everyone likes the shorts-for-work look. Kimberly Shepherd, a 25-year-old interactive coordinator for Univision, doesn’t want to see shorts anywhere — on anyone — near her Miami office building. She saw someone wearing them with tights when the weather was a little cooler, and she wasn’t crazy about that look, either. “It was not inappropriate, but it was still odd.” “The alternative for a woman is a skirt. You can always wear a nice summer dress; even a sundress can be dressed up,” Shepherd says. “A dress keeps you much cooler than shorts, anyway.” Designer L’Wren Scott says she can appreciate the look on others, but when it comes to her professional wardrobe, shorts are only for days off. “I wear those on the beach,” she says. “I’m not a shorts person in the city.”

a healthy psychology,” he said. “I’ve got a friend who works with Outward Bound, and he says they have more injuries every year, because the kids don’t know what it’s like to get hurt. They don’t climb trees, they don’t jump trains, so when they go out there and leap over a chasm and it doesn’t work out, they think they can just hit the reset button. Better to find out where the line is in a movie theater or a book.” Hautman has a personal stake in the debate. As a writer of fiction in which young teens confront adult issues, he faces critics who think today’s literature is too graphic for its audience. In a recent essay for the Wall Street Journal, Meghan Cox Gurdon argued that “books focusing on pathologies help normalize them and, in the case of self-harm, may even spread their plausibility and likelihood to young people who might otherwise never have imagined

such extreme measures.” But literature aimed at young ones didn’t become gruesome overnight. In 1952, literary scholar Geoffrey Handley-Taylor studied 200 traditional nursery rhymes and found eight references to murder, three drownings, nine cases of missing children and a decapitation. Pioneering child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim defended ghastly fairy tales in his 1976 book “The Uses of Enchantment.” Children learn to cope with their own fears, he argued, when they confront horrors at arm’s length on the printed page. Even the U.S. Supreme Court waded into the debate last month, ruling that video games cannot be censored. Writing the majority opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia noted that children’s stories long have been steeped EARLY

Liz Mahony isn’t worried in the slightest. She’s let her 11year-old son, Jack, see all of the “Potter” movies, in large part because he’s read all the books. Jack says he’s been creeped out a few times in the theater, but he was emotionally prepared because he knew the scenes were coming. That doesn’t mean a few tears haven’t been shed when major characters die. “You want to see empathy in your kid,” said Mahony, a stayat-home mother. “I’d be a lot more concerned if he didn’t care.” Young Maggie Andresen is probably hoping for someone like Jack’s mom to make a phone call on her behalf. In the meantime, her mother plans to tread carefully. “I’m going to see what the reviews say and talk to my friends. I think it’s fair to say we probably won’t be lining up for the first midnight screening.”

in violence. “Grimm’s fairy tales, for example, are grim indeed,” Scalia wrote. “Cinderella’s evil stepsisters have their eyes pecked out by doves. And Hansel and Gretel (children!) kill their captor by baking her in an oven.” That doesn’t mean your children should get the green light to see the next installment of “Scream.” Sarah Logan, a therapist at St. Paul’s Center for Grief, Loss & Transition, said parents have to be mindful that every kid reacts differently to depictions of violence. “We like to think they are resilient and will get over it, but you’ve got to remember that they don’t yet have the skills to express trauma,” she said. “I’ve seen a lot of kids that have significant behavioral changes after seeing violence. Not all, but some.”

Lord Voldemort isn’t the first person to command children’s nightmares. Here’s a look back at 10 “family-friendly” films that had us dabbing or covering our eyes: “The Wizard of Oz” (1939): Flying. Monkeys. “Dumbo” (1941): Flying elephant takes tainted peanut from ringmaster Timothy Leary and goes on a bad acid trip starring pink peers on parade. “Old Yeller” (1957): Boy meets dog. Boy hates dog. Boy loves dog. Boy shoots dog. “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” (1968): Stupid kids ignore advice about not taking candy from strangers and wind up in the clutches of the Child Catcher. “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” (1971): The Candyman takes guests down a chocolate river and through a psychedelic tunnel while reciting freak-out poetry. Cue Grateful Dead music. “Benji the Hunted” (1987): Cuddly dog howls for his master when he befriends orphaned cougar cubs whose mother was shot by a hunter, quite possibly the same one who wiped out Bambi’s mom. “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” (1988): Judge Doom makes Freddie Krueger look like Fred Rogers when he reveals himself as a bug-eyed villain with a voice almost as frightening as Fran Drescher’s. “The Lion King” (1994)” Simba takes on serious daddy issues when Mufasa dies — and he thinks it’s his fault. Jungle shrink on vacation. “Coraline” (2009): Other Mother turns into spiderwoman who’s a lot less friendly than film’s better known webslinger. “Toy Story 3” (2010): Gang holds plastic hands and prepares to meet a fiery fate after being dumped into a furnace. Saved at last minute by Pixar executives who realize that killing off characters would prevent lucrative “Toy Story 4.”

Widowed mom’s ugly behavior could be a sign that she needs help Dear Abby: I agree with your advice to “Driven Away in Georgia” (May 26), whose widowed mother has become so bitter, all eight of her children avoid her. As a clinical neuropsychologist who works with people with dementia and other aging-related problems, I’d like to share my thoughts. When a spouse dies, previously undetected early-stage dementia can become apparent to others. If the surviving spouse had pre-existing cognitive deficits, they may have been concealed by the competency of the other spouse. After the spouse dies, the structure and functional

DEAR ABBY ADVICE support once provided is suddenly removed. Symptoms then become apparent to family members. Another diagnostic option might be depression, which can often resemble dementia in elderly people. There are medications that can help manage and even slow down the progression of dementia, and early intervention may partially stabilize her at a higher level of functioning. You were right to recommend that family members become more involved rather than back away since this woman clearly

needs either psychiatric or neurological intervention, or both. Thank you for shedding light on a very common problem that can touch any family. — Richard Fulbright, Ph.D., Dallas Dear Dr. Fulbright: Thank you for sharing your expertise and raising awareness for those with family members who are also struggling with similar issues. Read on: Dear Abby: In addition to concerns about dementia, the mother may be overwhelmed with living life as a widow. The eight surviving children should try to arrange for part-time hired help for her household chores that build up. If Mom is living on limited income, she may be crushed

with financial stress. Perhaps it’s time for her to downsize to a more manageable home. Instead of avoiding her, these “kids” need to find out exactly what problems are overwhelming their mother and get her help. — Concerned Son in Laurel, Md. Dear Abby: If each child contributed a small amount of money each month, they could hire a handyman to take care of the various projects Mom needs to be done. A cleaning person is also an option. Aging parents can be a challenge, but pulling away and spending less time with them will only lead to regrets later. — Lauren, San Diego

Dear Abby: Anytime our family got together, or my folks were having special guests over, my mom would ask me to clean her house. I resented it, figuring since I could clean my home, Mom could clean hers. Mom passed more than a year ago, and I’d give ANYTHING to be able to clean house for her again. — Bill in Traskwood, Ark.

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). If you have a song in your heart, you have to sing it. If you don’t, it becomes burdensome to carry it around. A song unsung turns into excess baggage. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are emotionally flexible, so you won’t mind matching the mood around you as a means of relating to others. When you act as a kind of mirror, you validate the feelings of others. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Synchronization makes everyone feel calm. When something throws a wrench in the timing, there will be an unsettling moment, followed by a speedy recovery and restructuring. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Try not to think of yourself as any one way. Chances are, you don’t even know what you are capable of. Your personality is a vast combination of every human characteristic possible. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your desire to change your schedule is met with some resistance. The others who would be affected rather like things the way they are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are like a performer who is working for tips. But the tips you want boil down to verbal, emotional and practical support. It will help to “salt the tip jar” like the real pros do, putting the first few “dollars” in yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s not all cake and ice cream today — you have some important work to do. You know when you’re at your best, and you would be wise to plan your day so that your difficult tasks fall during those hours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If there’s one thing you can’t stand, it’s desperation. You’ll sense this coming from a merchant or someone else today. You hate to feel pressured, and that’s why you’ll bolt at the first sign of manipulation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Listen carefully. Avoid putting words in another person’s mouth. You may think you know what he or she means to say, but communication will bring many surprises now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If your mind were a room, today that room would be crammed full of furniture and visitors, all busily intermingling and bumping against each other in the tight quarters. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t have to change everything at once. If you commit to doing too much, you’ll feel overwhelmed, which can be paralyzing. Instead, change one thing, and other changes will occur naturally. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your environment is chock-full of opportunity, though it takes a creative mind to see it and an ambitious heart to act on it. You possess both qualities. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 14). The next four weeks are busy with responsibilities and fun, and it will be hard to tell the difference between the two. In February, you’ll be awarded for putting your talent to good use. Capricorn and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 25, 41, 20 and 1.
