Area schools face new threat Under new rules, state subsidy can be cut when students who win scholarships opt out.

By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – It depends entirely on how the state does the final math – and even on which set of numbers used – but a preliminary analysis of state data by

The Times Leader suggests up to seven Luzerne County public schools could land on a list of “low achieving schools,” with potentially serious consequences to school district budgets. The list is an integral part of the state’s new “Education Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit” program. Businesses can donate money to a nonprofit entity which then awards scholarships to students who live in the “at-

tendance boundary” of a lowachieving school. The student can use the money to attend another school, either public or private, that is not on the lowachieving list. The business gets a tax credit worth up to 90 percent of the amount donated for scholarships. The student must meet income eligibility rules. The law defines low achieving as: “A public school that ranked

in the lowest 15 percent of its designation as an elementary school or a secondary school based on combined mathematics and reading scores” from the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment tests. A school is designated as a high school if it teaches 11th grade; otherwise, it is considered an elementary school. Career and Technical schools are excluded from the list, as are charter schools.

For more than two decades, colleges and universities have been required to publicly share details of campus crimes and report murders, rapes, robberies, arson and other serious offenses to the federal government. That requirement was apparently unheeded by former Penn State President Graham Spanier, other top officials and the larger ranks of university employees responsible for student safety, the recently released investigation into the Jerry Sandusky sex-abuse scandal concluded. The report by former FBI director Louis Freeh found that, outside the campus police department in State College, “awareness and Freeh interest” in the federal law known as the Clery Act was “significantly lacking.” The 1990 law is named for Jeanne Clery, a Lehigh University freshman who was raped and murdered four years earlier by a fellow student at a campus that’s about a three-hour drive from Penn State. National campus safety experts say such problems spread far beyond Penn State, even as the U.S. Department of Education has stepped up enforcement in recent years and teamed up with the FBI on some inquiries. “This is a much broader concern,” said S. Daniel Carter, director of a campus safety project at a charitable foundation formed by the families of the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting victims. “Penn State is a microcosm of the entire field of higher education.” Though not mentioned by name, Carter is referenced several times in the 267See PSU, Page 10A

Channel blackouts are ongoing TV saga Entertainment industry’s stalling profits mean such fights are likely to continue. By RYAN NAKASHIMA AP Business Writer

LOS ANGELES — Channel blackouts such as the one that resulted from the recent spat between Viacom and DirecTV have become far more common over the past three years. Consumers can thank the changing dynamics of the entertainment industry. Media companies such as Viacom and Disney have become steadily more profitable since the gloom of the recession lifted in early 2010. But the cable and satellite providers that pay to carry their channels have seen profitability virtually stagnate as they fight each other for subscribers. The squeeze has prompted distributors such as Dish and DirecTV to revolt against higher programming costs. Consumers are left in the crossfire. DirecTV subscribers haven’t been able to view Viacom channels such as Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and VH1 since Tuesday, when the two companies failed to reach a contract agreement over content fees. The companies are still negotiating, but the channel blackout for consumers has continued through the weekend. The industry’s cost pressures mean such fights are likely to continue. “I think this is the new normal,” says Barton Crockett, an analyst with Lazard Capital. “It’s getting to be a little bit more of a battle between life and death for these guys.” The rising number of disputes is largely the result of the stagnant market for pay television. Simply put, there aren’t many new households being formed in the sluggish economy, and those who want to pay for TV already do. Some 101 million American households subscribe to cable or satellite service. That’s about 87

percent of homes, a proportion that has remained unchanged since 2009, according to Leichtman Research Group, which studies media and entertainment. TV distributors pay media companies a few cents per channel per subscriber each month. In turn, they try to sell packages of channels for more. As costs for those channels rise, so do monthly service bills, but not always by enough to offset the increasing fees cable and satellite providers are paying to media companies. In addition, distributors spend money on special promotions to woo subscribers from competitors. As a result, some companies’ expenses are rising faster than revenue. That has prompted cable and satellite service providers to fight back against cost increases, even when it means blacking out channels until they can eke out a better deal. Satellite TV companies like Dish and DirecTV are in an even tighter squeeze than cable companies because they can’t make up for higher costs by pro-

BOX OFFICE

‘Ice Age’ heats up summer screens By JAKE COYLE AP Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK — With Batman lurking, the prehistoric critters of “Ice Age: Continental Drift” ran off with the box office, earning $46 million in their opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The animated film from 20th Century Fox is the fourth in the “Ice Age” series and the first in 3-D. The North America performance of “Continental Drift” was on par with previous “Ice Age” movies but well below the opening weekend of the second installment, “The Meltdown,” which opened with $68 million in 2006. There has now been a decade of “Ice Age” films, allowing the characters voiced by Ray Romano, Queen Latifah and John Leguizamo to become increasingly familiar to audiences, particularly international ones. The film had already done robust overseas business ahead of opening in the U.S. This weekend it earned $95 million internationally, bringing its overseas total to $339 million. “Scrat rules the world,” said Chris Aronson, head of distribution for Fox, referring to the films’ rat-squirrel mascot, whose wordless, futile pursuit of a nut is a mainstay of the movies. The “Ice Age” franchise has now surpassed $2.2 billion worldwide, and the studio expects “Continental Drift” to equal the global total of the last installment, 2009’s “Dawn of the Dinosaurs,” which took in $886.7 million. “There’s really not very many animated franchises that have

viding Internet or phone service. Major cable and satellite TV distributors DirecTV, Dish, Time Warner Cable, Cablevision and Charter have increased profitability over the last few years, but that’s tapered off, according to an Associated Press review of FactSet data. Back in December 2009, they kept 15 cents of profit after subtracting operating expenses from every dollar of services they sold. That grew to 19 cents last September. But since, cable and satellite companies haven’t found a way to wring more profitability from their business. Meanwhile, prominent media companies that produce and bankroll the shows — Disney, Time Warner, News Corp., Viacom, Discovery, CBS and AMC — have kept expanding their profit share. They grew operating profits from 16 cents to 19 cents per dollar over the same period. That kept climbing to 20 cents per dollar by March. Media companies have posted gains in part by extracting higher fees from distributors in bare-

had three sequels,” said Aronson. “The performance of ‘Ice Age’ has been remarkably consistent.” The weekend was inevitably shadowed by two superheroes, coming a week after the debut of Sony’s Spider-Man reboot, “The Amazing Spider-Man,” and one week before the highly-anticipated Batman sequel, “The Dark Knight Rises.” In its second week of release, “Spider-Man” earned $35 million, pushing it past $200 million domestically. It earned nearly $67 million overseas over the weekend, bringing its worldwide gross to $521.4 million. Seth MacFarlane’s R-rated comedy hit, “Ted,” which stars Mark Wahlberg and a talking teddy bear, added $22.1 million in its third week for a total of $159 million for Universal Pictures. “Ice Age” is the third animated blockbuster to debut at No. 1 this summer — Pixar Animation’s “Brave” and DreamWorks Animation’s “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted” — are the others.

knuckle contract negotiations. Those gains have come directly at the distributors’ expense. To be sure, each company is different. Disney, for instance, has assets such as theme parks that skew the analysis. But distributors are no longer enjoying a post-recession bounce. The media companies are. These diverging fortunes have coincided with an outsized revolt by distributors. In the first six and a half months of this year, 22 fee disputes involving the price of broadcast TV signals have caused channel blackouts, according to the American TV Alliance. That’s up from 15 blackouts in all of 2011. There were just four in 2010. Dish Network Corp. dropped AMC Networks Inc. channels on July 1, two weeks ahead of the premiere of the final season of “Breaking Bad” on Sunday. DirecTV dropped more than a dozen Viacom Inc. channels on July 10. Time Warner Cable Inc. gave up on a Fox Sports channel covering the San Diego Padres in

April and on July 9 it let 15 Hearst television stations go dark, complaining of a four-fold fee hike demand. Distributors say they must hold the line on their biggest expense —programming— even if they risk having customers defect. “I don’t think the industry can sustain this kind of behavior,” says DirecTV’s executive vice president of strategy, Derek Chang, who accuses Viacom of trying to raise rates by 30 percent. “Ultimately, it’ll drive costs up to the end user.” Viacom argues that DirecTV is out of step with higher-paying competitors now that its sevenyear-old contract has ended. Amid the war of words, one thing is clear: the price of TV is going up. People already have been paying more and more. In April and May, 1,369 Americans who were surveyed by the Leichtman Research Group reported that their monthly TV bill rose an average of 7 percent from a year ago, to $78.63. That’s largely in line with annual single-digit percentage increases historically. What’s different for distributors lately is that they also have to pay for broadcast TV station signals, which they used to get for free in exchange for carrying upstart new channels. In recent years, broadcasters like CBS have demanded cash from TV distributors for broadcast signals, even though consumers who go through the trouble of setting up an antenna could get them over the air at no charge. Such “retransmission fees” are expected to double industrywide from $1.8 billion this year to $3.6 billion in 2017, according to research firm SNL Kagan. “That’s an expense that really didn’t exist five or 10 years ago,” says Leichtman Research Group’s president Bruce Leichtman. “That’s putting the biggest stress on the system.” The battle ends up hurting consumers the most.

PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania teachers must demonstrate a combination of classroom skills and student achievement if they want to make the grade on planned new statewide evaluations, the first overhaul of the assessments in more than 40 years. Legislation enacted last month spells out specific criteria on which educators will be measured, and a possible new protocol for classroom observation has been getting trial runs in dozens of districts. But concerns linger about the still-unwritten final regulations. What about those who teach grades or subjects not covered by standardized tests? What about those who work in highpoverty schools, where students can face challenges such as language barriers, lack of resources and little parent involvement? The official rating tool, to be unveiled by next June, will be created by the state Education Department in consultation with a committee of parents, teachers, administrators and experts. Currently, most of Pennsylvania’s 130,000 teachers receive annual evaluations in which they are rated either “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory,” based largely on observation. Newer instructors are assessed twice yearly. Starting with 2013-14 school year, the rating categories will

expand to “distinguished,” “proficient,” “needs improvement” or “failing.” The first two are considered satisfactory. According to the new law, 50 percent of the teaching assessment will be based on observation, including preparation, instruction and classroom environment. The other half will based on various measures of student achievement: • 15 percent for “building level data,” such as test scores, graduation rates, attendance and Advanced Placement course participation; • 15 percent for “teacher specific data,” including student progress; • 20 percent for “elective data,” which are measures developed by local districts that could include student projects and portfolios. For teachers of grades or subjects not covered by standardized tests, evaluations will include 15 percent building level data and 35 percent elective data, but no teacher specific data, Education Department spokesman Tim Eller said. State officials already have gleaned valuable feedback from a new observation model tested over the past year in about 120 Pennsylvania districts, Eller said. This year, more than 260 districts are expected to participate. Some educators involved in the pilot protocol describe it as less subjective and more evi-

dence-based than the current observation method. They also said that while it was extremely time-consuming, it fostered valuable dialogue between teachers and administrators. “It’s very specific, and as a teacher I want specific feedback, I need specific feedback,” said Lucy Reed, a 7th grade reading teacher in Allentown who participated in a trial run. Teachers met with evaluators before and after the observation of a single lesson. They also got to rate their own performance, which “really led to very rich discussion” with evaluators, said Mary-Margaret Pannick, assessment supervisor for the Pennsbury School District. Pannick, though, said she was disappointed the pilot program did not allow districts to see how student achievement would factor in to evaluations. Karen Quinn, director of curriculum and instruction in the Carlisle Area School District, said the expanded rating categories allow evaluators to better differentiate between veteran and new teachers who might otherwise receive the same “satisfactory” review. But teachers in high-poverty schools are concerned about comparisons with their counterparts in more affluent communities. Students in poor districts like Philadelphia often experience more hardships both inside and outside the classroom, and tend to score lower on standardized tests.

WILKES-BARRE – Luzerne County Republican Party committee members voted for new leadership Sunday and elected Bill Urbanski chairman. Urbanski, of Kingston, collected 79 votes to 72 for incumbent Terry Casey at the party’s convention held every four years. The chairman serves a four-year term. The committee members met for several hours at the Best Western Genetti Hotel and Conference Center on East Market Street. Urbanski Urbanski, 45, an attorney with a private practice in Scranton, said there were no hard feelings about the change at the top. “We’re walking out the door here today as a united party,” he said. He campaigned on building a “more inclusive” party where the rank-and-file members play just as important a role as those in positions of power. “I want a big-tent party where everyone’s ideas and contributions are welcome,” he said when running for the chairman’s post. Republicans make up one third of the more than 189,000 registered voters in the county. In the April 12 primary, there were 62,567 registered Republicans compared to 109,132 Democrats and 17,701 nonpartisan voters, according to the county Bureau of Elections.

Veteran’s family donates residence for other vets By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

ANTICOKE -- When Mary Ann Standish’s brother Barry passed away in February 2011, she knew she had to do something to keep the memory of one of the most loved people in her life alive. “Everyone who knew my brother respected and liked him,” she said. “He was intelligent, kind, generous, and always had a smile on his face. If you knew Barry you became familiar with his fabulous sense of humor and his gentle nature. Although his life became so difficult after he was disabled, he never complained.” Barry was a U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War and the Nanticoke house he resided in until the day he died at the age of 69 will now be renovated and used by the NEPA Veterans Multicare Alliance to help veterans in need. The West Field Street residence came into the family’s possession in the mid-1940s, when the home was bought by Mary Ann’s parents John and Lillian Standish, who raised a total of six children at the resi-

ers. Clinton’s visit to Egypt underscored the difficulty Washington faces in trying to wield its influence amid the country’s

stormy post-Hosni Mubarak power struggles. Islamist Mohammed Morsi, a longtime Brotherhood figure, was sworn in two weeks ago as Egypt’s first democratically elected president. Led by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, the military handed over power to him June 30 after ruling Egypt for 16 months. The military, however, dissolved the Brotherhood-led parliament and stripped Morsi of significant authorities in the days before his inauguration, while retaining overwhelming powers for itself, including legislative power and control of the writ-

ing of a new constitution. The United States is in a difficult spot when it comes to dealing with post-Mubarak Egypt — eager to be seen as a champion of democracy and human rights after three decades of close ties with the ousted leader despite his abysmal record in advancing either. This has involved some uncomfortable changes, including occasional criticism of America’s longtime faithful partners in Egypt’s military as it grabs more power and words of support for Islamist parties far more skeptical of U.S. intentions in Egypt and the rest of

The soldier in the Frontier Corps, Dolat Mir, was wounded in the explosion in Mera Sheikhan village near the Khyber tribal area, said police official Inayatullah Khan. The Khyber tribal region is one of the two land routes for ferrying the supplies to U.S. and its allied NATO forces across border in Afghanistan. Chaman border in southwest Pakistan is the other land crossing. It was unclear who fired the mortar, Khan said, or whether the house was intentionally targeted. The 27-year-old soldier has been serving in the North Waziristan tribal region, said police official Behram Khan.

JERUSALEM

West Bank grants OK’d

The Israeli government has quietly agreed to grant subsidies to build more than 500 new homes in the West Bank, backtracking from a promise earlier this year to deny these incentives to the settlements. The planned construction, at a time when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to shore up support among settlers, has enraged the Palestinians and could cloud a visit that started Sunday by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton as she tries to re-energize moribund Mideast peace efforts. The housing units are benefiting from the government’s designation of the settlements as “national priority” areas — a status normally reserved for low-income cities and towns where the government wants to encourage development and lure people to live. The international community, including the United States, says the settlements are illegal or illegitimate. BEND, ORE.

Weather stops lawn flight

Hours into their lawn-chair balloon flight, two men made a hard landing after they were hit by hail and snow as thunderstorms swept into central Oregon. But their back-yard aircraft floated away. Kent Couch and Fareed Lafta were about seven hours into their flight Saturday when they descended, coming down near the community of Post, about 30 miles east of their starting point. But after they scrambled out of the contraption, it floated away, flight organizer Mark Knowles said. “They came down hard,” Knowles said by cellphone. “The craft went back up. It’s sitting up in the sky right above us.” A flight website tracker showed it continuing east across Oregon. Couch, a gas station owner, and Lazfta, an Iraqi adventurer, were trying to fly from Oregon to Montana in tandem lawn chairs suspended from party balloons. Knowles said the balloonists were pelted by hail and snow and buffeted by turbulence before reaching the ground but they were not injured. TOKYO

Floods in Japan kill 26

Thousands of people in southern Japan remained cut off Sunday by floods and mudslides triggered by torrential rains that have killed at least 26 people, local authorities said. Evacuation orders issued a day earlier for a quarter of a million people were lifted in most areas Sunday as the rains subsided, allowing many people to return home. But thousands remained cut off by landslides or fallen trees that blocked roads in mountainous areas.

Protesters chanting against the U.S. — sometimes reaching several hundred — have sprung up at several sites where Clinton visited this weekend.

Syria in civil war?

Red Cross says conflict has reached that status By ALBERT AJI and FRANK JORDANS Associated Press

AMASCUS, Syria — Syria’s 16-month bloodbath crossed an important symbolic threshold Sunday as the international Red Cross formally declared the conflict a civil war, a status with implications for potential war crimes prosecutions. The Red Cross statement came as U.N. observers gathered new details on what happened in a village where dozens were reported killed in a regime assault. After a second visit to Tremseh on Sunday, the team said Syrian troops went door-to-door in the village, checking residents’ IDs and then killing some of them and taking others away. According to the U.N., the attack appeared targeted at army defectors and activists. “Pools of blood and brain matter were observed in a number of homes,” a U.N. statement said. On Sunday, Syria denied U.N. claims that government forces had used heavy weapons such as tanks, artillery and helicopters during the attack Thursday in Tremseh. Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi said the violence was not a massacre — as activists and many foreign leaders have said — but a military operation targeting armed fighters who had taken control of the village. “What happened wasn’t an attack on civilians,” Makdissi told reporters in Damascus. He said 37 gunmen and two civilians were killed — a far lower death toll than the one put forward by anti-regime activists, some of whom estimated the dead at more

than 100. “What has been said about the use of heavy weapons is baseless,” Makdissi added. The United Nations has implicated President Bashar Assad’s forces in the assault. The head of the U.N. observer mission said Friday that monitors stationed near Tremseh saw the army using heavy weaponry and attack helicopters. The fighting was some of the latest in the uprising against Assad, which activists say has killed more than 17,000 people. Violence continued across the country Sunday, with more clashes reported around the capital, Damascus. The bloodshed appeared to be escalating. On Sunday, the Internation-

al Committee of the Red Cross said it now considers the Syrian conflict a civil war, meaning international humanitarian law applies throughout the country. Also known as the rules of war, humanitarian law grants all parties in a conflict the right to use appropriate force to achieve their aims. The Geneva-based group’s assessment is an important reference for determining how much and what type of force can be used, and it can form the basis for war crimes prosecutions, especially if civilians are attacked or detained enemies are abused or killed. “We are now talking about a noninternational armed conflict in the country,” ICRC spokesman Hicham Hassan said.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Millions of uninsured people may have to wait until after Election Day to find out if and how they can get coverage through President Barack Obama’s health care law. More than two weeks after the Supreme Court gave the green light to Obama’s signature legislative achievement, many governors from both parties said they haven’t decided how their states will proceed on two parts under their control: an expansion of Medicaid, expected to extend coverage to roughly 15 million low-income people, and new insurance exchanges, projected to help an additional 15 million or so purchase private insurance. In some states, such as Colorado, Oklahoma and Wyoming, governors said they’re crunching the numbers to determine what’s best for their residents. But in other states, including Virginia, Nebraska and Wisconsin, Republican governors said not to expect a decision before Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney square off in November. If Romney wins, the argument goes, he’ll work to throw out the health care overhaul, and the issue will be moot. “I don’t think I can look the taxpayers of Virginia in the eye and say I’m going to spend a lot of your money building exchanges that four months from now I may not need,” Gov. Bob McDonnell, R-Va., said on the sidelines of the National Governors Association meeting. Although the high court upheld the requirement that individuals either have insurance or pay a fine, the justices undercut Obama’s plan to get almost all Americans insured, ruling that states can opt out of the expansion of Medicaid, the government-run insurance plan. Pennsylvania is among the states that are still weighing their options who had sued the federal government in an attempt to have the law overturned.

Iranian parliament panel OKs bill to design nuke ships By ALI AKBAR DAREINI Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — A Iranian parliamentary committee has approved a bill requiring the government to design nuclear-powered merchant ships and provide them with nuclear fuel, an Iranian news agency reported Sunday. The bill appears to be a symbolic gesture to bolster Tehran’s argument that it has a right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. The West suspects Iran’s nuclear program is aimed at de-

veloping weapons technology, a charge Tehran denies. Nuclear-powered vessels other than warships are rare, and the International Atomic Energy Agency has said in the past that nuclear-powered merchant ships would be uneconomical. Lawmaker Mohammad Bayatian was quoted by the semi-official Mehr news agency as saying sanctions are forcing Iran to use different fuel for its oil tankers and other large vessels, to avert the need to refuel during long

voyages. Some countries refuse to provide fuel to Iranian ships in line with Western sanctions. Iran is seen to be far from a capability to build nuclear-powered ships. Iran says it is designing a nuclear submarine. The West has raised concerns that Iran might cite submarine and other nuclear-powered vessel construction as a justification for producing weapons-grade 90 percent enriched uranium.

Nuclear submarines are powered by fuel ranging from 20 percent purity to more than 90 percent. Many U.S. submarines use nuclear fuel enriched to more than 90 percent, the same level used to build atomic bombs. Bayatian said the bill has been approved by a parliamentary committee and will be debated in the house next week. “Given the sanctions that enemies have imposed against our country, the bill must be enacted,” he said.

for affordable health care, said that for calculation purposes, every 1,080 hours worked by part-time employees is the equivalent of one full-time employee. Seasonal employees who work120 days or fewer in a year are exempt from the calculations. Hughes also said that business owners whose businesses are not exempt from the requirements and already offer health plans must determine if those plans meet the law’s minimum requirements for affordable coverage. Hughes said it’s important that business owners get information not just about penalties imposed by the law, but the opportunities it presents as well.

Issue coming to fore Ruth Hughes, director of the Small Business Development Center at Wilkes University, said the issue hasn’t been on the front burner for most of the center’s clients. “I do anticipate now that the Supreme Court has affirmed the legislation as constitutional, we will be getting some calls,” she said. “That line of 50 employees is really important. Those employers with more than 50 will be impacted. But there are just a lot of variables as to how much they’ll be impacted,” Hughes said.

cause it’s too expensive. She said implementation of the law will eventually drive the cost down and help employers afford coverage. Kraus noted that employers whose company-provided health insurance would cost an employee more than 9.5 percent of their household income can offer a voucher to use in a health exchange and not be subject to a fine. Fromnowuntil2014,employers with 25 or fewer employees whose average wage is $50,000 or less and who pay at least 50 percent of the cost of their employees’ health insurance premiums are eligible for a tax credit of up to 35 percent, she said. In 2014, the tax credit increases to 50 percent. Kraus said about 151,000 employers in Pennsylvania could qualify for the tax credit. The network has web pages dedicated to information on the Affordable Care Act as related to small businesses as well as a tax credit calculator. Hughes said the Internet is full of politicized information on the law, so it can be difficult to educate oneself. But she found that the Society for Human Resource Managers website offers a good amount of unbiased information. “They’regoingtobeonthefront lines of sorting through all of this,” Hughes said of HR professionals. And the Pennsylvania Small Business Development Center state network is working to put together educational materials as well, she said. “We’re going to try to get that information out there very quickly, … 2014 is not that far away.”

Town puts itself in mayor’s paws The Associated Press

TALKEETNA, Alaska — The mayor of a sleepy Alaska town is feline fine. The part-Manx cat clawed his way onto the political scene of Talkeetna, Alaska, through a write-in campaign shortly after he was born 15 years ago. KTUU-TV reported Friday that residents didn’t like the mayoral candidates years ago, so they encouraged enough people to elect Stubbs as a write-in candidate. The town has nearly 900 residents.

Although his position is honorary, Stubbs’ popularity is real. His election earned him enough press to catapult the town at the base of Mount McKinley into a tourist destination. Residents say they’re happy that their stubby tailed mayor is promoting tourism.

Actress Holm dies

Won an Oscar, was in ‘Oklahoma’ on Broadway By DENNIS MCLELLAN Los Angeles Times (MCT)

Celeste Holm, the versatile actress who achieved fame on Broadway in the original production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s hit musical “Oklahoma!” in 1943 and five years later won an Oscar for best supporting actress in the movie drama “Gentleman’s Agreement,” died Sunday. She was 95. Holm, whose more than 70year career in show business included performing in nightclubs, died in her apartment on Central Park West in New York City, said her husband, Frank Basile. She had recently spent two weeks in a hospital, where she was discovered to be dehydrated and ended up suffering a heart attack. She asked to be taken home Friday, Basile said. “My wife was an extraordinary woman,” Basile said. “She lived her life with such grace and dignity.” Before Holm’s hospitalization, the couple briefly had been living outside their home because of smoke damage from a fire in actor Robert De Niro’s apartment in the same building. Holm had great success on Broadway, and already had 10 productions behind her when she was cast in the star-making role of man-crazy Ado Annie in “Oklahoma!,” in which she sang “I Cain’t Say No.” “Any good actress can play a man-crazy hoyden, but Celeste Holm played Ado Annie with a sly wink-in-the-eye that made her character irresistible,” Miles Krueger, president of the Los Angeles-based Institute of the American Musical, who was a boy when he saw Holm in the role, told The Times in 2007. “She was so cute.” Holm’s Broadway work, including the lead in the hit 1944 musical comedy “Bloomer Girl,” led to a long-term contract with 20th Century Fox, where her first two films were the musicals “Three Little Girls in Blue” and “Carnival in Costa Rica.” Then came her third film, “Gentleman’s Agreement,” the groundbreaking 1947 drama directed by Elia Kazan and starring Gregory Peck as a journalist who adopts a Jewish identity to chronicle his experiences dealing with anti-Semitism. Kazan fought to have Holm cast in the role of the witty and sophisticated magazine fashion editor Anne Dettrey. Studio head Darryl F. Zanuck, Holm told The Times in 1998, viewed her only as a musical-comedy performer. “So they made me do the big emotional scene first as a test,” she said. “I didn’t know it was a test.”

Critics took notice of Holm’s portrayal of Dettrey. “Really in the Academy class for supporting honors is Celeste Holm, who brings joy and gaiety, as well as good common sense, to the screen in her thoroughly ingratiating rendition of her role of everybody’s friend,” Los Angeles Times film critic Edwin Schallert wrote in his review of the film, which also earned Oscars for best picture and best director. Holm received two more supporting-actress Oscar nominations while under contract to Fox -- for playing a nun in the 1949 drama “Come to the Stable” and for playing the best friend of Bette Davis’ aging Broadway star Margo Channing in the classic 1950 backstage drama “All About Eve.” “My agent didn’t want me to do ‘Eve.’ Can you imagine?” Holm told the Associated Press in 1997. “He was afraid ‘Miss Normal’ would get caught between two cats, Bette Davis and Anne Baxter.” Holm, in fact, didn’t get along with the legendary Davis. As Holm often recalled, when she walked onto the set the first day of shooting and said, “Good morning,” Davis responded by saying, “Oh, (expletive), good manners.” “I never spoke to her again - ever,” Holm said. Holm, who also had a small role as a mental patient who befriends star Olivia de Havilland’s character in the 1948 Oscar-winning drama “The Snake Pit,” was often at odds with the studio over the kinds of roles she should play. She bought out the rest of her Fox contract and returned to New York, where she starred in the 1950-52 Broadway comedy “Affairs of State” and replaced Gertrude Lawrence in the original Broadway production of “The King and I.” But she returned to Hollywood in the mid-1950s to play supporting roles in two MGM musical comedies - “The Tender Trap,” starring Frank Sinatra and Debbie Reynolds and “High Society,” starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Sinatra. She later played Aunt Polly in the 1973 movie-musical version of “Tom Sawyer” and appeared in films such as “Three Men and a Baby.” A 1992 inductee in the American Theatre Hall of Fame, Holm appeared often on Broadway, including taking over the starring role in the original production of “Mame” in 1967. On television, she starred in the short-lived, 1954 situation

comedy “Honestly Celeste” and played a supporting role in the 1970-71 situation comedy “Nancy.” She also made frequent guest appearances and played the Fairy Godmother in the 1965 musical television production of “Cinderella,”starring Lesley Ann Warren in the title role. Holm received three Emmy nominations, including a 1979 nomination for her supporting role in the mini-series “Backstairs at the White House.” She spent a season on the prime-time soap opera “Falcon Crest” in the mid-1980s and a year on the afternoon soap opera “Loving” in the early ’90s. And she played Hattie Greene, the wise and compassionate grandmother on “Promised Land,” the 1996-99 family dramatic adventure series. An only child, Holm was born in New York City on April 29, 1917. Her Norwegian-born father, Theodor Holm, worked with the American branch of Lloyd’s of London and her mother, Jean (Parke) Holm, was an American portrait artist and author. The theater was an early attraction. “I think if you do what you love, it comes through in everything,” she told the Asbury Park Press in 2007. “I knew at 6 that I wanted to act.” Holm, who trained in singing, dancing and acting as a child, studied drama at the University of Chicago.

Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney talks about the selection of a vice presidential running mate in Holland, Mich.

Incumbency in Obama’s favor Romney has hurdles, assets But this time president faces challenger who also is raising plenty of cash. By JULIE PACE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Four months from Election Day, President Barack Obama has an edge in support among women, African-Americans, Hispanics and young people, groups that could swing the race in November. He retains the power of incumbency and people generally like him. But there are indications that Obama’s supporters aren’t as enthusiastic about him as they once were, and the Democrat no longer is in a fundraising league of his own, with Republican Mitt Romney and GOP-leaning groups raking in the campaign cash. Plus, the shaky economy, which crashed in fall of 2008 and helped Obama capture the presidency, is a huge vulnerability. Come November, it could trump all his other advantages. A look at Obama’s assets and liabilities: ADVANTAGES Power of Incumbency: He’s the president, and that means he can set the national agenda. It’s a power Obama has put to good use during his re-election campaign. He used the anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death to remind voters of his national security credentials. He made a direct appeal to Hispanics by announcing a more lenient immigration policy for people who came to the U.S. illegally as children. The president also already is known to the public so his campaign can focus its efforts on defining Romney instead of spending time and money introducing Obama. Demographics: Obama leads Romney among women, AfricanAmericans, Hispanics and young people, edges with key voting blocs that could help him capture battleground states. The Obama campaign is banking on support from Hispanics to win out west in places like Neva-

da and Colorado, and in Virginia, where the Hispanic population has surged. High turnout among AfricanAmericans would help Obama in North Carolina. And if Obama wins the women vote, it would be a significant boost to his efforts to reach the 270 electoral votes needed for victory. Likability: No matter how bad the economy gets or how low Obama’s job approval ratings dip, polls show many Americans still like the president. And that personal appeal could make a big difference with undecided voters who may find it hard to vote against someone they like. About 50 percent of those surveyed in a recent NBC News/ Wall Street Journal poll felt positively about Obama, compared to 33 percent who felt positively about Romney. Strong Surrogates: The Obama campaign has two popular and persuasive surrogates at its disposal: Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. Both keep up a robust campaign schedule. They head to battleground states when official business keeps the president in Washington. And they’re dispatched to places where they may be more popular than he is. The first lady’s approval ratings — 64 percent view her favorably according to a recent Pew poll — far exceed her husband’s. And Biden has an easier rapport than Obama with white, working class voters in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania. LIABILITIES Economy: There is no greater threat to Obama’s re-election prospects than the economy. Even the most loyal Obama supporters say that if the already shaky economy softens any further before Election Day, the president’s chances of winning will be significantly diminished. The nation’s unemployment rate is stuck above 8 percent, though it has come down from its high of 10.1 percent in 2009. No one in the White House or Obama campaign expect significant economic improvement before the election. But advisers do fear that if the economy gets worse, it could cement the notion with voters that the president is the wrong eco-

nomic steward. Outside money: Romney and outside groups supporting him are expected to spend more than $1 billion during the campaign, with much money being used to flood the airwaves with TV ads attacking the president. Democrats have struggled to compete with the torrent of GOP money. A Democratic super political action committee hasn’t come close to matching the fundraising totals of its Republican counterparts. And Obama’s campaign was vastly outraised by Romney’s campaign last month. The president and his advisers say Obama could be the first incumbent running for re-election to get outspent — though the also may be trying to motivate reluctant Democratic donors. Waning Enthusiasm: Obama himself acknowledges that his candidacy isn’t as exciting as it was in 2008. Voters who lack enthusiasm may not donate money or volunteer for his campaign. They also may not show up to vote in November. That’s a particular concern for Obama among young people, who not only voted for him in large numbers in 2008, but were a core part of his volunteer base. A Pew Research Center poll conducted last month showed that 60 percent of younger voters say they are giving quite a lot of thought to the election, down from 71 percent in 2008. Lack of second term specifics: Obama’s re-election rationale is based more on broad themes, like economic fairness, than specific policy objectives for a second term. A recent economic speech in Ohio was largely a rehash of ideas the president has previously proposed. It left the president open to criticism from Republicans and some Democrats who say he hasn’t provided voters a clear enough sense of what he wants to do in a second term. Obama campaign officials counter this criticism by saying the presidents still wants to pass previously proposed ideas that were blocked by Congress in his first term — and by noting that Romney hasn’t offered many specifics of his own.

Challenger’s power lies in fundraising, choice of a running mate. By KASIE HUNT Associated Press

WASHINGTON — As the White House challenger, Mitt Romney can seize on the attention that accompanies the selection of a running mate. When the London Olympics get under way, he can use that spotlight to play up his leadership of the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City. His candidacy also is benefiting from the fundraising power of outside GOP-aligned political groups that are spending millions on TV ads to promote him and undercut President Barack Obama. The weak economic recovery offers the chance for Romney to make inroads among unhappy voters. Not all is rosy, however, for the former Massachusetts governor. Health care is the last thing Romney wants to talk about. As he appeals to independent voters, he has to fend off charges that by moving to the middle, he’s changing core positions for political purposes. ADVANTAGES Picking a vice president: It’s one of the biggest decisions Romney will make during the campaign and will shed light on Romney’s judgment at a time when voters are just getting to know him. Announcing the decision will ensure that he can dominate headlines, for a few days at least, in the middle of an otherwise slow summer, and could provide a fundraising boost. With a running mate in place, Romney will gain a new top surrogate who is likely to act in the traditional role of a vice presidential nominee: attacking the top of the other ticket — Obama in this case. The Olympics: The 2012 Games in London are made for Romney as he looks to showcase one of his signature achievements, his work running the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. The event was mired in scandal before Utah leaders hired Romney to try and dig them

out of the mess. Romney’s campaign so far has refrained from introducing to the general electorate his record as steward of the Olympics, but aides have planned extensively for the August games. Look for Romney to do interviews with major media outlets and attend the opening ceremonies as well as a few events. Super political action committees: Romney has exceeded fundraising expectations, and he’s also getting lots of help from wealthy Republican donors and some Supreme Court decisions. The new rules allow outside groups to spend millions — individuals don’t have the same $2,500 limit that’s placed on the official campaign — to run TV ads. Super PACs can’t coordinate with the campaign, but they can coordinate with each other, and they’ve spent millions on the air to counter Obama’s onslaught of TV ads. The Republican National Convention: The spotlight will be on Tampa, Fla., at the end of August, where the Republican challenger will accept the party’s nomination and his running mate with make a national debut. Numerous rising stars within the Republican Party will get prime speaking slots. At a time when Democrats control the White House and Senate, Romney and the Republican Party will command attention for a full week. LIABILITIES Health care: It’s the last thing Romney wants to talk about. In June, the Supreme Court ruled that the key part of Obama’s health care law — the requirement that all in the U.S. carry health insurance — is constitutional under the power Congress has to levy taxes. Romney enacted a similar mandate in Massachusetts when he was governor, calling the requirement a penalty instead of a tax. After the Supreme Court decision, a senior Romney adviser appeared on MSNBC and said Romney didn’t believe either mandate was a tax; the candidate reversed that position just a few days later, telling CBS that Obama’s mandate

is a tax. The contradictions weaken Romney’s ability to attack Obama on health care, potentially a critical campaign issue. Moving to the middle: After a brutal primary, Romney is working to appeal to independent, swing and other voters he’ll need to beat Obama. But moving to the middle is a dangerous endeavor for a politician who’s been accused of changing his core positions to accommodate political realities. An example: immigration. After months of using the issue to bloody his primary opponents, Romney has softened his rhetoric and tone in a bid to attract Hispanic voters. But he’s been careful to say little about what he would do as president and was hesitant to take a stand when the Supreme Court ruled parts of Arizona’s harsh immigration enforcement law unconstitutional. Staying in the spotlight: It’s always a problem for a challenger running against an incumbent president: attention. Without the bully pulpit the presidency allows, staying in the spotlight through the Olympic Games and long summer vacations will be challenging for a candidate who still needs to introduce himself to voters. Romney will have some high-profile opportunities to get noticed, particularly his selection of a vice president. But Obama still has an edge. Defining himself before Obama does: Romney still isn’t well known to most voters. In a May Associated PressGfK poll, 44 percent of adults felt they had “a good idea of what policies Mitt Romney would pursue if elected president,” compared with 67 percent who said they had a good idea of the policies Obama would pursue. That gives Obama a chance to define Romney for voters before Romney can define himself. Democrats have been hammering Romney for once having a Swiss bank account and for keeping investments in offshore tax havens.

HYUNDAI `06 SONATA 75k, V6,

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says he will not apologize to likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for an aide’s comment last week that false filings to a government regulator could bring a felony charge. “No. We will not apologize,” Obama said in an interview posted Sunday on the website of WAVY-TV in Portsmouth, Va. “Mr. Romney claims he’s Mr. Fix-it for the economy because of his business experience, so I think voters entirely legitimately want to know what is exactly his

business experience.” Obama campaigned in tightly contested Virginia last week, reminding voters of the discrepancies between Securities and Exchange Commission filings and Romney’s recollection of his role at Bain Capital. Obama’s deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, suggested Thursday Romney might be guilty of a felony for misrepresenting his position at Bain to the SEC. Both sides lobbed salvoes on the Sunday talk shows, with Obama surrogates insisting that Romney’s role at Bain tells voters how he will address the tax code if elected, and Romney’s stand-

ins saying the attacks were undignified. “We now know that this president will say or do anything to keep the highest office in the land even if it means demeaning the highest office in the land,” Ed Gillespie, Mitt Romney’s campaign adviser, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” The Obama campaign is questioning whether Romney was at the helm of the Boston-based private equity firm when it sent jobs overseas, allegations that “independent fact checkers have said are not true, they’re indeed a lie,” Ed Gillespie, a campaign adviser

to Romney, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Cutter said Romney can’t have it both ways. “Either you’re the CEO, president, chairman of the board of Bain Capital as you attest to the SEC or he’s telling the American people he bears no responsibility for that. Both those things can’t be true. Either you’re in charge or you’re not,” Cutter said Sunday. The documents place Romney in charge of Bain from 1999 to 2001, a period in which the company outsourced jobs and ran companies that fell into bankruptcy.

WORLD OPINION

Canada discounts silly law, welcomes Target stores

HE ARRIVAL OF Target stores in Canada has generally been hailed as a good thing. The American-owned Zellers chain was bought out by the more dynamic American retailer and its stores will be converted to the Target brand. The move creates some new jobs, considerable capital investment and offers consumers a better choice. It doesn’t seem like something that should have to be approved by the federal government, and yet, it is. The Investment Canada Act enables the government to determine if such deals would be of net benefit to Canada. The government has said yes, no surprise, and graciously granted Target approval to sell Canadian “cultural products” in its stores. Some have interpreted this

to mean Target must carry Canadian content, but that’s not the case. Instead, the government is granting an exemption to 20-year-old rules that dictate all elements of the culture business must be Canadian controlled. To do otherwise would have been silly. Foreign-owned retailers such as Costco and WalMart already sell Canadian books, CDs and DVDs. The government was right to allow Target to sell what it wants, but the rules that give government a say are outmoded. Canadian content rules might have had their day, but it is long past. Culture is global now – and increasingly, digital. Canadians don’t need government to tell them what they can buy or who can sell it to them. Ottawa Citizen

QUOTE OF THE DAY “Just hang on to your hat, because it will be a bidding war.” L.J. Hinton The 78-year-old manager of the Bonnie & Clyde Ambush Museum in Gibsland, La., predicted an auction of two of the famous outlaws’ weapons set for Sept. 30 will draw a lot of interest. By one estimate, each weapon could bring more than $100,000.

Stabilize islands issue

RIME MINISTER Yoshihiko Noda has confirmed the Japanese central government plans to buy three of the disputed Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea that belong to Okinawa Prefecture. We hope the move will lead to stable control of the uninhabited islands by the government and mark a first step toward eased diplomatic tensions with China and Taiwan, which claim sovereignty over them. The planned nationalization of the islands will undoubtedly provoke an angry response from China and Taiwan. But the long-term purpose of the move is to rein in unnecessary provocative acts by putting the

islands under state control to avert dangerous unforeseen incidents. We urge China to make a cool-headed response to the government’s plan. However, the issue has become a diplomatic sore point between the two countries in recent years because of China’s naval expansion in the region and increased activities by Chinese boats in waters around the islands. Our hope is that the government will take this opportunity to acknowledge that there is a territorial dispute over the islands so that both sides can hold candid talks over the issue with an open mind.

Power struggle in Egypt

HE MANNER IN which Mohammed Morsi became the first elected president of Egypt in June made confrontation inevitable between his Muslim Brotherhood and an army that has held power for the past 60 years. The generals had maneuvered to dissolve the Islamist-dominated parliament, appropriate its legislative powers and award themselves the right to dictate the new constitution. Yet, the struggle for power has – so far – taken the form of a jostle for position. Morsi defied the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces and the Mubarak-era supreme constitutional court by convening the dis-

solved parliament. It was then adjourned by the Brotherhoodaligned speaker after a matter of minutes. The president had put down a marker. The generals have made it clear they will not allow the Islamists to superimpose sharia law on Egypt. Some of them even cite Ataturk – who imposed a secular order on postOttoman Turkey – to justify and explain their intentions. Islam should, of course, be recognized as one fount of law, but never overriding universal rights. This debate is central not just to Egypt’s future. Getting it right will shape the future of the region. Financial Times, London

Republican leaders misled public about voter ID law IT SEEMS each day another thread unravels to expose the ugly truth about the state’s new voter ID law. Many people were shocked when the Corbett administration recently revealed that 758,000 registered voters lack a PennDOT-issued driver’s license or non-driver photo ID. Without the most common type of photo ID, a staggering 9 percent of voters might be unable to participate in the November election. While the number is shocking, it’s more disturbing that Gov. Tom Corbett lobbied for the law by misleading the public when he repeatedly said less than 1 percent would be affected. His administration knew the truth was nine times higher. Why did the governor and Republican leaders deceive us? Sadly, it’s no accident. The voter ID law was rushed through the state Legislature as part of a national Republican strategy to steer the balance of elections toward the GOP by creating barriers to vote for seniors, young adults, people with disabilities and the working poor. House Majority Leader Mike Turzai recently revealed the truth and sparked a national controversy when he said, “Voter ID, which is going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania – done.” The Republican leaders in Harrisburg are so out of step with the values of regular people – both Republicans and Democrats – that they’re taking a victory lap for rigging the presidential elections.

have read a number of articles concerning the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (for and against privatization). I am for dismantling this archaic system. The argument put forth by the PLCB seems to be “we are the biggest wine and liquor buyer in the United States” – implying the state sells it at fair prices and the state employees are the only ones who can prevent underage purchases. The problem with the argument is that neither assumption is true. Anyone who has spent any time out of this state and purchased a bottle of wine in a supermarket can attest to that. What are we supposed to do in Pennsylvania regarding competition? Compare prices to the other state store across town? I also don’t see underage selling as an issue when the requirement could be that everyone regardless of their age must present a valid ID for purchase. The bottom line: A state bureaucracy is trying to hold on to control of a system that should be open to private enterprise like it is in 48 other states.

The PLCB, desperate to quell the public’s increased desire to end the state stores, came up with the idea of using kiosks in some approved supermarkets; this is a good example of how far away the PLCB is from reality. Anyone who tried to use these machines can tell you how silly this venture was. The only thing I wasn’t asked to do while purchasing a bottle of wine from one of these kiosks was to touch my nose with one finger while hopping around on one leg. The current monopoly system was created in 1933 by then-Gov. Gifford Pinchot, who said the PLCB’s mission was to make liquor sales “as inconvenient and expensive as possible.” So far, I am sad to say the

Today’s entitled generation should come as no shock

hy are we surprised to know an entitled generation exists? We should not be surprised because we created it! It starts with giving our children an allowance they rarely deserve. (Many of them cannot make their beds.) In high school the expectations are greater. They need money for extracurricular activities while never contributing anything. I have seen parents reward bad behavior (grades, etc.) with a gift, thinking that will create some gratitude. By the time these young people interview for a job, they ask their prospective employer what kind of benefits they will receive rather than what kind of contribution they can make to the employer. Should we be surprised when they expect the government to take care of them? Surprised? Not me.

page Freeh report. In 2007, he helped coordinate the training of several Penn State police officers on the Clery Act while working for the advocacy group Security On Campus, which was formed by Jeanne Clery’s parents. He assisted federal education officials in developing a Clery Act handbook starting in 2003. And that same year, he notified Penn State that it had mistakenly reported that there were no sexual assaults on campus when the same federal report noted elsewhere that 11 such incidents had occurred in residence halls. “They were resistant at first,” Carter said. “But they came back and acknowledged they made an error.” A spokesman for the Office of Federal Student Aid said Friday that the education department has reviewed Clery Act compliance at 78 schools since 2007, with 34 of those reviews complete. That compares with an average of just two completed Clery Act reviews over the previous 10 years, according to online records. Ten schools have been fined a

How it might work To get an idea of which local schools might end up on the list – with the caveat that the state calculations could be different, and could be based on more recent test results not yet publicly available – The Times Leader combined the percentage of students scoring proficient or advanced in math and reading for all public schools, removed charters and CTCs, separated high schools from elementary schools, and sorted to see what schools fell into the bottom 15 percent. Based on that analysis, two Luzerne County high schools – Hazleton Area High School and GAR in Wilkes-Barre Area – landed in the bottom 15 percent. Five local schools were in the bottom 15 percent of the elementary list: Hazleton Elementary/Middle School in Hazleton Area; Pringle Street in Wyoming Valley West, and Dodson, Kistler and Heights-Murray in Wilkes-Barre Area. Pringle Street was closed this summer. Wilkes-Barre Area Superintendent Jeff Namey said he would not be surprised if some district schools end up on the list of low achievers, though he has not received any notice from the state. The law requires the department of education to notify districts with low achieving schools by Aug. 1 this year and by Feb. 1 every year thereafter. The state must also post the list on its website by Sept. 1 this year and by Feb. 1 thereafter. “It is our responsibility, no matter what the population of a school is, to educate these students,” Namey said, “but the bottom line is we are the number one school district in the area when it comes to transient population. That complicates things more than people want to admit. We’re testing a good number of students that we never taught.” Namey said the district is constantly working to overcome problems created by shifting demographics, and noted principals, administrators and teachers are currently undergoing intensive training thanks to a federal literacy grant funneled through the state. Funding could be lost Namey also questioned the logic of labeling schools as low-achieving without offering to help them improve test results. “Are they going to provide additional support?” he asked. In fact, the law is more likely to lead to a reduction in state funding. If a student attending a low-achieving school wins a scholarship and enrolls in a non-district school, the district loses the state subsidy for that student after one year. Namey said that could lead to “a significant loss” of money without a comparable cut in district costs. “People think: ‘What’s the big deal? You don’t have to teach them anymore.’ But the fact is we lose the money but our costs don’t necessarily go down.” A few students may leave a classroom, but if the reduction isn’t enough to eliminate a teaching position, costs are the same. Hazleton Area Acting Superintendent Francis Antonelli saw another problem with the new law: Allowing all students within a low-achieving school’s “attendance boundary” to seek and use the new scholarships could prove overly broad.

murder of a student, which the school denied for months. In June, the department levied a $110,000 fine against Tarleton State University, a part of the Texas A&M University system, for three unreported sex offenses among more than 70 campus

“For example, if our high school is deemed low performing, its attendance boundary is the entire district,” Antonelli said, questioning if that meant any student in the district could use scholarship money to attend any school. Antonelli also noted the law seems to allow a student already attending a private school to use the scholarship money at that private school. If that’s the case, students who live in Hazleton Area’s boundaries and attend MMI, a private school in Freeland, could apply for and receive a scholarship even though they may never have attended a district school. The law also allows students in attendance boundaries of low-achieving schools to use scholarship money to enroll in other public schools that have signed up with the state to participate in the scholarship tax credit program. Antonelli noted that means a Hazleton Area resident could use the money to attend, for example, Crestwood High School, and questioned how that would affect Crestwood’s budget. According to the law, in such a scenario Crestwood would be paid up to the equivalent of its per-pupil state subsidy through the scholarship, but the student would not count in the district’s “Average Daily Membership,” an attendance calculation used by the state in determining a district’s annual subsidy. Lastly, Antonelli noted, the new program may not directly use tax dollars to send students to private schools, but a business that donates to a scholarship fund pays less in taxes, reducing the amount of money going into the state’s general fund, and thus how much is available for public schools. “With the tax credit going into a scholarship fund, you’re diverting money away from public education into the private and parochial school sector,” Antonelli said. Seen as ‘choice’ Proponents of the program tout it as giving students trapped in poor schools more choice. The school choice advocacy group American Federation for Children hailed it as “an important milestone on the road to creating more comprehensive and broadbased private school choice in the Keystone State.” Gov. Tom Corbett’s office dubbed this and other education laws passed in a flurry of activity June 30 “legislation that will bring sweeping changes to improve the quality of the state’s education system.” But critics contend tax dollars are essentially leaving public schools and going to private and charter schools that aren’t held to the same standards. The state also is implementing a new, more complex teacher evaluation system in public schools, but has no such requirement for private schools receiving money through tax credits. And in calculating the low-achieving schools, the state takes charter schools – public schools free of many state regulations – out of the equation. In the Times Leader analysis, this move changed the outcome. When charters were included in the calculations, both Hazleton Area and GAR High School were bumped out of the bottom 15 percent, and thus would be off the list of low-achieving schools. Going strictly by the total percentage of students scoring proficient or better in math and reading tests in 2010-11, 37 charter high schools and 24 charter elementary schools were in the bottom 15 percent statewide.

crimes not publicly disclosed. But Virginia Tech, fined $55,000 for its decision to delay campus warnings of a gunman who would kill 33 people in April 2007, saw its $55,000 fine overturned by an administrative law judge in March. And a federal judge reduced an $82,500 Clery Act fine against Washington State University to $15,000. The Department of Education has been investigating Penn State since November, when the scope of Sandusky’s misconduct emerged after the release of a scathing grand jury report. The former assistant football coach is awaiting sentencing after being convicted last month of sexually abusing 10 boys over 15 years in his home, on team trips and in school locker rooms. The school could be fined up to $27,000 per violation and have its federal student aid withheld. “Our investigation covers not just the Sandusky allegations but all potential sexual offense issues at Penn State,” Department of Education spokesman Justin Hamilton said. “We’ll continue working with all relevant individuals, including campus officials and law enforcement personnel, to determine whether or not there were any violations of the Clery Act.

POLICE BLOTTER HANOVER TWP. – Police Sunday said Michael Palchanis, 30, of WilkesBarre Street, was arrested on violating a protection from abuse order.

Freeh report as well as all relevant information to determine how it may aid our investigation.” The Freeh report documents several unsuccessful attempts by Penn State campus police to persuade university leaders to boost their Clery Act efforts. From 1991 to 2007, the university relied on an untrained crime prevention officer to oversee the program. When the officer told a supervisor he needed help or “we could get hurt really bad here,” he was told there was no money for such support. The university created an online reporting system for Clery Act crimes that same year. By 2011, just one report had been submitted. Broader campus training sessions and outreach efforts drew little participation, and the school’s Clery Act policy remained in draft form in November — even as Spanier boasted to Freeh’s investigators that Penn State was “big on compliance, more than other universities.” The school has since hired a Clery Act compliance coordinator. In a statement released by the campus safety group she helped create with her late husband, Connie Clery expressed her disappointment at the rampant abuse that unfolded on the campus just 170 miles from the

Dozens of elderly Poles who helped save Jews during World War II were celebrated and praised for their heroism at a lunch in Warsaw, Poland, on Sunday.

Rescuers of Jews honored Poles who risked their lives to help neighbors are recognized. By VANESSA GERA Associated Press

WARSAW, Poland — For decades, nobody really talked about them: the thousands of Poles, mostly Roman Catholics, who risked their lives during World War II to save Jewish friends, neighbors and even strangers. Those discovered by the Germans were executed quickly, often with their entire families. And then, under communism, there was silence. The Jewish survivors would send letters and gifts in gratitude. But the Polish state ignored the rescuers. And they themselves kept quiet, out of modesty, or shame or fear of anti-Semitism. Sometimes they worried gift packages from the West would arouse the jealousy of neighbors in a period of economic deprivation. “It wasn’t considered anything to be proud of,” said Ewa Ligia Zdanowicz , an 81-year-old whose parents hid a Jewish teenage girl in their home during the war. That era is over. A moving gathering of dozens of the rescuers on Sunday in Warsaw shows just how much has changed in Poland in the 23 years since communism fell. Dozens of Polish rescuers were celebrated and dined over a kosher lunch in an upscale hotel where Jewish representatives took turns praising them in speeches for their heroism.

The rescuers themselves deny that they are exceptional. With each other, they discuss other things, often their failing health, avoiding memories of executions and other brutality that they witnessed and which still bring them to tears. “We did what we had to do,” said Halina Szaszkiewicz, 89. “There was nothing heroic about it.” But the Jewish officials honoring them see it differently. “You, the righteous of the world, think your behavior was ordinary, but we all know it was something more than that. It was truly extraordinary,” Stanlee Stahl, the executive vice president of the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, the group that organized the luncheon, told them in a speech. Those in attendance have all been recognized by Israel’s Yad Vashem as “Righteous Among the Nations,” non-Jews sometimes referred to colloquially as “righteous gentiles.” These days it isn’t just grateful Jews who remember. The Polish state also honors and celebrates them, as appreciation grows for Poland’s vanished Jewish community — the largest in the world before the Holocaust. It is treated as long overdue recognition befitting a democratic nation. But it’s also clear that officials seize with pride on this historical chapter to fight the stereotype of Poland as an antiSemitic country — a label that is painful to many Poles and which carries some truth, but also masks a hugely complex

reality. Many Jews today still remember antiSemitism that their families suffered in Poland, not just from Germans — who carried out the Holocaust — but also from Poles whom they had lived alongside for centuries. Yet Poland also produced the greatest number of rescuers. To date, more than 6,350 non-Jews in Poland have been recognized by Yad Vashem, more than any other country, Israeli Ambassador Zvi Rav-Ner said. The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, based in New York, was founded in 1986 to provide financial help to those who rescued Jews during the Holocaust. Today, it sends money to more than 750 elderly and needy rescuers in 22 countries.

Nittany Lions are thankful to have O’Brien on the job Coach is left with difficult task in wake of scandal

By GENARO C. ARMAS AP Sports Writer

’We can and we must do better,’ said new Penn State football coach Bill O’Brien after reading the Freeh report.

STATE COLLEGE — In seven months on the job, Bill O’Brien has turned into much more than just the new leader of the Penn State Nittany Lions. Perhaps no head coach has ever inherited such a challenge in his rookie campaign. “He’s kind of our rock. He sets the tone for the rest of us,” guard John Urschel. “He sets a very good precedent for this program.” Lately, any good news out of the

football program has been overshadowed by the findings of former FBI director Louis Freeh’s investigation into the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Former coach Joe Paterno and three other school officials, Freeh said last week, concealed abuse allegations dating back to 1998. O’Brien, hired in early January, released a statement through a team spokesman last week that said he was reading the report and would offer recommendations to identify what changes needed to be made in

We can and we must do better,” O’Brien said. “Nonetheless, I too remain proud of the accomplishments and character of Penn State’s many generations of student-athletes, and I look forward to doing my part to ensure we emerge stronger than before." His words were on par with the

theme he’s tried to strike since he was hired in January, when he promised to honor the past but focus on the future. He said at nearly every stop during his three-week caravan of alumni gatherings this spring that he planned to build on Paterno’s decades of on- and off-field accomplishments. “Whenever I meet lettermen, and the effect he had on their lives, I can only hope to fulfill just a small part of that in my career,” O’Brien said in Al-

No decision on Paterno statue Contrary to several internet reports, a Penn State official has told the Centre Daily Times that no decision has been made as to the fate of the Joe Paterno statue. “Contrary to various reports, neither the board of trustees nor university administration has taken a vote or made a decision regarding the Joe Paterno statue at Beaver Stadium,” Penn State spokesman David La Torre said in a statement. ESPN.com reported Sunday afternoon that the statue would remain, citing unnamed sources.

Darryl Danko gets record 7th title despite car troubles By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

LAUREL RUN – The Danko family has long been the lifeblood that fuels the Giants Despair. Only eight years since winning his first Giants Despair, Darryl Danko is king of the mountain. Danko passed Clarks Summit resident Oscar Kovaleski for most career overall championships after wining his seventh Giants Despair Hillclimb Sunday. “I never thought I’d hold the record,” Danko said. “In hindsight, it all seems like a dream.”

Despite racing just one time Sunday due to mechanical problem, the Laurel Run native secured the title with an overall 40.1-second time recorded during Saturday’s competition. Danko finished ahead of George Bowland, who ran only one time all weekend, by a 2.064-second. A throttle position sensor melted a wire causing Danko’s 1998 Lola Indy car to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday’s competition. He said the part – that caused problems during the first day of races as well – needs to be shipped in and replaced.

“Last night we picked it apart,” Danko said. “We reset it up, got rid of the scraping problem. The first run was pretty good. The handling was great. Then the sensor melted the wire, cut our day early.” Danko clocked in at a 40.715second time on the one-mile East Northampton Street course on his first and only run of the day. He said he was impressed with the time and caught off guard by the severity of the problem. “On the first run, (the car) was breaking on top of the hill and I knew something was wrong,” he

said. “I didn’t think it was severe. I thought we’d just have to tune it a little. I didn’t think it was that severe. I just thought we’d have to tune it a differently.” Despite overtaking Kovaleski for most championships, Danko was let down by coming short of his 2007 course record of 38.36 seconds. Course conditions, new pavement and the Lola’s first Hillclimb presence in three years presented a favorable opportunity for Danko to unseat his record. “I wanted the record…,” Danko

Los Angeles holds on for win over Yankees NEW YORK — Kevin Jepsen got Alex Rodriguez to pop out with the bases loaded in the ninth inning and the Los Angeles Angels took advantage of New York’s baserunning follies Sunday to beat the Yankees 10-8. Mark Teixeira hit a two-run homer in the ninth off Ernesto Frieri to make it 10-7, the first runs off the closer since he joined the Angels on May 3 — a span of 26 1-3 innings. After a walk to Nick Swisher, Scott Downs relieved with a 1-0 count to Raul Ibanez. Ibanez knocked the glove off Downs and reached for an infield single. Andruw Jones struck out, Russell Martin had a fielder’s choice and Derek Jeter walked to load the bases.

Molina’s blast lifts Yanks over Chiefs The Times Leader staff

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Catcher Gustavo Molina, playing for Francisco Cervelli who was out of the lineup due to being sick, slugged a three-run home run as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees defeated the Syracuse Chiefs 4-2 on Sunday in a home game for the Yankees. The Chiefs only two runs came on a two-RBI single by Carlos Rivero in the top of the first. Jack Cust gave the Yankees an insurace run in the third with an RBI single. John Maine picked up the win for the Yankees, going six innings allowing two runs on two hits. The veteran retired the final 11 batters he faced, while striking out four and walking four. Corey Wade threw the final three to pick up his second save of the season. Syracuse Brown c Johnson 2b Negrych dh Valdez lf Teahen 1b Rivero 3b Carroll rf Hill c Bynum ss

said catcher Ron Musto, who was a part of the team the last three seasons. “Last year, we believed we were going to win it all and I think we let our heads get to us. “This one’s good, but a regional title would be a lot better.” Tunkhannock also advanced to regionals and will play the Susquehanna Valley League champion at 11:30 a.m. Saturday at the same location. As of Sunday afternoon, Milton was in the West Branch championship game and Berwick had clinched a berth in the SVL title contest. Musto had a big hit in the first inning for Greater Pittston when he crushed a 1-0 fastball over the left field fence and into the woods behind the field for a two-run home run and a 2-0 lead. It was the first home run of the tournament for any of the participating four teams and Musto’s third of the season. “I was just looking to get solid contact that at-bat and he gave me an inside fastball and I got all of it,” Musto added. “It felt better than a regular season home run. I felt like I helped my team a lot with that one.” Tunkhannock, which is in the regional tournament for the first time since 2003, scored two runs in the top of the fourth to tie the game at 2-2. Lance Sherry (2for-4) stole home as part of a double steal for Tunkhannock’s first run and Rich Condeelis’ RBI single evened the score. Tunkhannock advanced to the title game by eliminating Mountain Post earlier on Sunday with a 4-3 win to secure a spot at regionals. “It was a long day and the kids gave me everything they had today… It was a great tournament we had a good time this weekend,” Tunkhannock manager Scott Zaner said. “Our goal was to win the tournament, but secondarily we wanted to make the regional tournament. That’s a great accomplishment for the kids.” A pair of runs scored for Pittston in the bottom of the fourth with one coming home on an error and the other when Nick O’Brien stole home. Greater Pittston pitcher Erik Walkowiak was also too much for Tunkhannock. The senior-to-be at Wyoming Area didn’t allow a hit until the fourth inning. And the first base runner he allowed wasn’t until a two-out walk in the third. He pitched 6 1⁄3 innings allowing five hits. The only trouble he ran into was in the two-run fourth when he walked one and allowed two hits. “In that inning Wally was coming up to the middle of the order and Tunkhannock has a great middle of the lineup,” Musto said about his pitcher. “He was a little shaky facing those guys. I think he wanted to pinpoint more than anything that inning. He was a little wild, but he settled in and we got the outs and made home free.”

George Parkhurst is Player of the Year

PETE G. WILCOX FILE/THE TIMES LEADER

George Parkhurst of Wyoming Seminary lost only twice all season. He also helped his team reach the Class 2A state team finals.

A special season By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

George Parkhurst was part of a very unique season. Not only for himself, but for the team as well. The Wyoming Seminary senior, who was selected as The Times Leader boys tennis Player of the Year, only lost twice all season. And both of them were to the same competitor in Wyomissing’s Ricardo Saad and in the same venue at the Hershey Racquet Club. Parkhurst, who will attend Siena University in New York on a tennis scholarship, was also part of a historic season individually for the Blue Knights when he faced his twin brother, Harry, in the District 2 Class 2A singles finals. In that match, remembered to be the first time in school history brothers squared off for the gold, a heated sibling rivalry was visible. But in the end, it was memorable for both involved. “It’s not even just on the tennis court. It’s everything else. Every other sport we play,” George said after that May victory. “There’s a lot of trash talk involved. It was just really exciting today.” Later in the month, George Parkhurst was part of another historical run – this

time with his Blue Knight teammates. In what could be one of the most memorable performances in Wyoming Valley Conference history that did not end in a PIAA Championship for a team. The Blue Knights advanced to the state’s Class 2A semifinals and pulled out an unimaginable victory as they were on the verge of defeat before storming back to advance to the state finals. They eventually secured runner-up status and dealt with just one loss as a team in back-to-back years. In 2011, their only loss came to the eventual state champion as well. With the help of Parkhurst, the Blue Knights won a district team title three straight years and was in the finals all four years. George Parkhurst was a big part of all four teams. He won back-to-back District 2 singles championships as a junior and senior and only lost twice both seasons. He advanced at least to the district’s singles semifinals all four years he played. He also was a district doubles semifinalist as a sophomore. It’s clear he produced since he busted onto the local tennis scene in 2009. Now, he will try to earn more hardware at the next level and could someday nab awards as a professional. He seems to be on the right track.

Some moves to help in the second half

So. Let me ask you something. How’s your team doing? Pretty good? OK? Just ehhhhh? Are you leading your league in wins or frustration? Does your lineup need some tweaks or a major overhaul? Why am I asking so many questions? And just who invented the question mark? I’ll begin by answering that last question first. It is believed that an eighth century English scholar named Alcuin of York, devised an early form of that particular punctuation mark. And it’s a good thing he doesn’t have the rights to it, otherwise I’d owe him a bundle. As for the other questions – the ones about your actual fantasy team – hold on. I can help you with those too. Or try to anyway. We’ve got a half a season of baseball to go, and knowing which players are going to post huge second-half numbers going forward will be a big help. It doesn’t matter if your team is buried in the standings. If you have the hot lineup come September, you can make some playoff noise. Here are some players who are worth taking a gamble on for a second-half run. You’ll have to trade for some and get waiver-wire lucky on others, but they should be worth it. Mark Teixeira, 1B, Yankees : This is Teixeira’s time of year. In April, May and June he’s a lightning rod for criticism because he posts good, not great numbers. In July, August and September, Yankees fans are saying, “Oh, yeah. So that’s what why we got him.” It might be tough to pry Teixeira away from his owner. He had 2 HRs and 5 RBI Friday night, suggesting his secondhalf surge is right on schedule. Take a stab at getting him, though. If it works, you won’t be sorry. Adam Lind, 1B, Blue Jays: He was hitting .186 with 3 HRs and 11 RBI when Toronto sent his rear end down to the minors in May. Since he returned from his “time out” on June 25, Lind has been on a .340 tear with 4 HRs and 13 RBI. He’s always been a

Harry Parkhurst

Wyoming Seminary Like his twin brother, he was a staple for the Blue Knights team that advanced to the finals of the PIAA Class 2A Team Championships and took runner-up. He was the lone winner for the team in the championship match against Wyomissing. He was second-place finisher at the district singles and doubles tournament.

Henry Cornell

Wyoming Seminary A junior, he helped the Blue Knights advance to the finals of the PIAA Class 2A Team Championships with a dramatic, comefrom-behind victory in the semifinals to clinch the victory. He teamed with Harry Parkhurst to win the District 2 Doubles tournament in 2011 and finish as runnerup this year.

DOUBLES Jordan Herbert/Brent Christy

Tunkhannock Seeded fourth entering the District 2 Class 3A Doubles Tournament, the Tigers’ team advanced to the quarterfinals of the event before their season came to an end after winning two matches.

Christy, a junior, played doubles all season for Tunkhannock as part of the team’s No. 1 doubles duo and had a solid season.

streaky hitter with above average power. It seems like he’s returned to form and that means he can produce HRs and RBI for you. KEVIN YOUKILIS, 1B-3B, White Sox: Count yourself lucky if his original owner gave up on him and dropped him when he was struggling in Boston. If he did, grab him now. (Youklis. Not the owner.) Youklis has adjusted quite nicely to a new pair of sox. Since his trade to Chicago on June 25, he’s batting .316 with 3 HRs and 15 runs driven in. More than likely, though, he’s on someone else’s team right now. The trade price won’t be as high as one for Teixeira, so a play for Youklis won’t cost you as much. Go for it. JOE BLANTON, SP, PHILLIES: Blanton? Did you say BLANTON? Yes you read that right. Joe Blanton could help you win down the stretch. How can that be? Well, if you look at Blanton’s history he’s a notoriously bad first-half pitcher. And he’s done nothing in 2012 to contradict that fact, as a 7-8 record and 4.98 ERA would indicate. But as the season wears on, and arms and bats get tired, Blanton’s sinker ball tends to .. well .. sink more, and those line drives in May become groundouts in September. He’ll never be confused with an All-Star pitcher. But he can get you a few quality starts. And chances are he’s out there on the waiver wire. FRANKLIN MORALES, SP. RED SOX: A reliever, turned sport starter, Morales has had some nice success against teams not sporting pinstripes from the Bronx. In five starts since being moved into the rotation in midJune, he’s had four quality outings. His bad outing was on July 7 when the Yankees pelted him with various rotten vegetables in a 6-1 victory. The more starts he succeeds at, the longer his time in the rotation will last. Take a chance, and get him now. Before the Christmas in July rush.

LAKE ORION, Mich. — Roger Chapman joined impressive company on Sunday, shooting a 4-under 66 to win the U.S. Senior Open by two strokes at 10 under. Chapman, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Hale Irwin are the only players to win the U.S. Senior Open and Senior PGA Championship in the same year. Before this year, the Englishman’s career highlight was a European Tour win in Brazil in 2000.

JOHN DEERE CLASSIC SILVIS, Ill. — Zach Johnson won the John Deere Classic on the second playoff hole Sunday, hitting his second shot to a foot for a birdie to beat Troy Matteson. After Johnson and Matteson double-bogeyed the 18th on their first playoff hole, Johnson hit a 193-yard second shot from a bunker to 12 inches from the cup, again on the 18th. Matteson needed to sink a 43-footer to match Johnson’s birdie, but didn’t get the putt to the hole. It was Johnson’s second win of the season and ninth of his career. Johnson birdied three of the last six holes in regulation, taking the lead until Matteson sank a 60-foot eagle putt on the par-5 17th. Johnson shot a bogey-free 6-under 65 to finish at 20-under 264. Matteson shot a 69. Scott Piercy finished third, two strokes back after a 65.

Kidd arrested on DWI NEW YORK — Newly signed New York Knicks point guard Jason Kidd has been arrested on a drunken-driving charge after police said he crashed an SUV into a telephone pole in the Hamptons. Southampton Town police say Kidd was released without bail after being arraigned Sunday on a misdemeanor driving-while-intoxicated charge. Police say Kidd was treated at Southampton Hospital for minor injuries after his arrest. His agent hasn’t immediately answered phone or email messages. Police say Kidd was alone in the Cadillac Escalade when it hit a pole and veered into the woods around 2 a.m. Sunday in the hamlet of Water Mill. The Knicks signed the 39-year-old Kidd in free agency this week. He’d played for the Dallas Mavericks since 2008. He’d led the New Jersey Nets to two NBA Finals appearances.

Kahne wins at New Hampshire Section 5 By HOWARD ULMAN AP Sports Writer

LOUDON, N.H. — The best car was rolling toward victory — until its driver and crew chief couldn’t agree on how many tires to change. Kasey Kahne capitalized on that confusion between Denny Hamlin behind the wheel and Darian Grubb in the pits to win his second Sprint Cup race of the year and make a leap toward one of the 12 spots in the Chase that determines this year’s NASCAR champion. “For those guys to miscommunicate, that helped us a ton,” Kahne said. “I’ll take ‘em any way we can.” Hamlin’s Toyota led for150 of the 300 laps at the one-mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday. His communication wasn’t quite as good. Kahne, who finished second two weeks ago at Kentucky to Brad Keselowski, went ahead to stay during a restart on the 240th lap when Hamlin spent extra time in the pits as his crew changed all four tires. Hamlin wanted just two new ones. “Darian asked me how much of the

tires I felt I’d used up. I felt like I had used up a substantial amount,” he said. “(I said) give me tires and no adjustments. He thought I meant four tires. Nothing’s a Kahne given. Even though it looked like we had one in the bag if we took two tires, you never know.” Kahne doesn’t feel he stole a victory. “I wouldn’t say ‘stolen.’ We ran in the top four the whole race,” he said. “We were in pretty good shape, (but) if he was to keep the track position I never would have passed him.” Hamlin’s longer pit stop left him all the way back in 13th place, but he kept passing cars until only Kahne remained in front. Then he simply ran out of miles and Kahne won by 2.738 seconds. It was the 14th win of Kahne’s career and first since May 27 at Charlotte. Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Keselowski rounded out the top five. The victory enhanced Kahne’s chances of qualifying for the Chase, the

last 10 races of the season in which the top 10 drivers in the point standings win automatic berths. Two additional spots go to the drivers with the most wins who are ranked 11th to 20th in points. Kahne went from 16th to 12th, and his two wins are more than anyone in the second group of 10. “We’ve been pretty tough all year, but we just haven’t finished ‘em off a lot of the times,” Kahne said. “From here on out, we need some more top10s and top fives the rest of the way. It doesn’t get us in the Chase yet, but it does help with a win today.” The turning point came when the third caution flag came out on the 234th lap for oil dropped on the track by David Reutimann. Hamlin went into the pit, telling Grubb over the radio that he wanted tires. Grubb, who first planned to change just two, interpreted that to mean four. As Hamlin went back on the track, Grubb told him, “My bad, bud.” After the race, Grubb took the blame: “That was 100 percent my fault.”

WASHINGTON — Carmelo Anthony says it’s up to the New York Knicks to decide if they want to match the “ridiculous contract” that the Houston Rockets have offered Jeremy Lin. It’s uncertain if they will now after agreeing to a sign-and-trade deal with Portland to bring point guard Raymond Felton back to New York, after already signing Jason Kidd. The Knicks have repeatedly said they would match any offer for Lin, but the Rockets made it difficult with a three-year, $25 million deal that’s worth about $15 million in the third year. New York has until 11:59 p.m. EDT Tuesday to match the offer sheet for the restricted free agent. Anthony says he would love to see Lin back but that the undrafted Harvard guard has to do what’s best for him.

Serena wins at Stanford STANFORD, Calif. — Serena Williams overcame a shaky start and two service breaks to beat lucky loser Coco Vandeweghe 7-5, 6-3 on Sunday for her second straight Bank of the West Classic title. Eight days after winning Wimbledon, Williams saved a set point and won the final four games of the opening set. It was the 43rd WTA Tour championship of Williams’ career, tying older sister Venus for the most among active players. The first All-American WTA final on home soil in eight years was hardly a one-sided affair.

FOIX, France — Luis Leon Sanchez of Spain has won the 14th stage of the Tour de France as the three-week race entered the Pyrenees. Tour leader Bradley Wiggins of Britain is expected to keep the yellow jersey. He and the other contenders Sunday were trailing a group of breakaway riders by more than 15 minutes. Sanchez was among the cyclists who broke away in the day’s final ascent. He then made his decisive move less than seven miles from the finish. It was the fourth time in his career he has won a Tour stage. NFL

Brees signs deal METAIRIE, La. — Drew Brees has passed his physical and signed his historic $100 million, five-year contract with the New Orleans Saints. The star quarterback agreed verbally to the deal Friday. He visited team headquarters Sunday to put pen to paper on a contract that gives him the highest average annual pay in NFL history. Brees then stopped by a sandwich shop he owns to grab some lunch. There he posed for photos, shook hands and signed autographs for starstruck fans before hopping in a white sport utility vehicle and heading for the airport. Brees says he missed his teammates and is eager to practice against the scheme of new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. Brees spends parts of offseasons in southern California. The Saints report for training camp July 24.

Sunday’s Section 5 Little League Major Baseball doubleheader scheduled for Back Mountain Little League was postponed due to rain. Both games will be played today. At 5:30 p.m., Back Mountain American will play South Wilkes-Barre in the winners bracket final. At 7:30 p.m., Old Forge and Archbald will play in the elimination bracket semifinal. The remainder of the tournament will be pushed back one day. The elimination bracket final will now be 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. The winner of that game will play the winner bracket champ at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. If necessary, another game will be played at 5:30 p.m. Thursday. American and South Wilkes-Barre both took fielding practice Sunday and were waiting out a lightning delay when it started raining about 20 minutes after the scheduled 5:30 p.m. start. The rain intensified and the doubleheader was postponed about 6:50 p.m. The Section 5 champion starts play in the state tournament at 5 p.m. Sunday at Stroudsburg Little League.

toona in May. “We have a tremendous amount of respect for what coach Paterno did here. ... I can tell you that we will keep his honor, what he stood for and everything he built here. In many, many ways, we’ll keep it going because we have so much respect for what he did here.” O’Brien made those comments two months before Freeh released his stinging findings. On vacation, O’Brien could not be reached for further comment beyond his statement. The NCAA has also launched its own inquiry. Penn State President Rodney Erickson said he planned to respond to questions from NCAA President Mark Emmert in the next few weeks, answers which could determine if college sports’ governing body conducts a more in-depth probe that might lead to sanctions. School trustees ousted Paterno in November, days after Sandusky was arrested. The board later cited in part a

said. “You get so excited and hyped up that it’s a let down. It’s disappointing. That’s the way it is; anything can go at any time. “It’s a big disappointment. The only thing it gave me is the No. 7, and I still come out with the fastest time. But I’m terribly disappointed we couldn’t run a little bit more.” Ten category Giants Despair records were set over the weekend. Jack Danko, of Laurel Run, defeated a 2009 record with a 44.058-second finish in the C Sports Racer division. Wilkes-Barre Township resident Brandon Usloski broke the Hillclimb’s longest-standing record with a 53.275-second time in the Formula 500 category. Usloski’s 1990 Kamakazie F500 unseated Chris Bern’s 25year old record, clocking in at .356 seconds quicker than the 1987 time of 53.631. “I’ve been trying to get this record for five years now in this car,” Usloski said. “The car was moving incredibly out there, and I was confident going in that I could get it this year. It feels great to finally set that mark.”

failure of leadership by Paterno for his ouster. Paterno died in January of lung cancer. His family has said the late coach wouldn’t take part in a cover up to avoid bad publicity, and planned a comprehensive response to Freeh’s findings. Through the stormy period, O’Brien has promised the program would not forget the victims of abuse, while also trying to keep the Nittany Lions looking forward. One of the new team rules posted on the front door of the football building includes the phrase “Ignore the Noise,” referring to trying to limit outside distractions. The revamped offseason strength and conditioning program to focus on more free weights and lifting instead of machines seems to have revitalized players, as has more competitive offseason drills. And O’Brien has instilled an open-door policy for his office, a little bit of a change from the old regime. “It’s still kind of feared (going in the office) because he’s the head coach and there’s no tolerance,” cornerback Stephon Morris said. “Usually, back in the day, if you went to Joe’s office, it was usually because he just wanted to talk

to you or you did something bad. “Now it’s just like we’re going in there and it doesn’t have to be about anything. You can just go in there and say, ‘Hey, what’s up coach?”’ The team is trying to have fun, along the way, as well. On Friday, many took part in the player-organized “Lift for Life” charity event to benefit the Kidney Cancer Association. The players raised a record $110,000, all while sharing some laughs during this tough time. More than $700,000 has been raised in the 10 years of the offseason weightlifting and strength conditioning competition. Now, the focus turns to training camp, which starts in a month. And the Nittany Lions would like nothing more than to simply play football. When they return, the players will be looking to O’Brien to set the tone as Penn State tries to transition from the painful end of Paterno’s tenure to a new era. “With what we did in the winter and what we did in the offseason,” tailback Silas Redd said, “the identity (of the team) has really changed. “It’s Coach O’Brien’s squad now.”

Mac Albee pitched a complete game with nine strikeouts and Nico Schwartz had a home run.

Prepare for hot and humid conditions during the ﬁrst half of this week. Today starts off partly cloudy and then turns mostly cloudy as showers and thunderstorms move through in the afternoon. We will see a break from the rain on Tuesday, but not the heat! This will be the warmest day of the week. A cold front moves through on Wednesday and brings afternoon rain showers and thunderstorms. Once that front passes, we will feel relief from the humid conditions. Thursday starts off cloudy with a few scattered showers, but clearing will begin in the afternoon. Friday, Saturday and Sunday look like they will be very nice.. - Michelle Rotella

MONDAY, JULY 16, 2012 PAGE 5C

Woman must stop dreaming and face the facts after being snubbed Dear Abby: There is a guy at work I’ve been attracted to for as long as I have worked here — six years. I work in the office and he is in the field. We see each other a couple of times a week, if that. We attended a retirement party for one of the employees recently. He started pursuing me. We ended up getting to know each other and stayed together the rest of the night. We seemed to get along very well. We took a drive, and he was holding my hand and saying all the things a woman wants to hear. We kissed. When the night came to an end, we sat in his car and hugged and fell

DEAR ABBY ADVICE asleep together. It seemed like a beautiful dream. The following week at work he claimed not to remember much of that night, although he seemed to have a smirk on his face when he said it. Abby, anytime I hook up with someone, I tell myself, “Let’s see what happens,” and I don’t pursue it any further, hoping the guy will. Then nothing ever happens. I’ll be 30 soon and I’ve been single almost 10 years. Should I pursue this further, or leave it alone and see what happens as I’ve always done? — Smitten in Michigan

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Smitten: Whether you pursue it further or leave it alone, NOTHING is going to happen with this fellow. When he told you he “didn’t remember” much about that night, he was conveying the message that you, too, should forget it. So take the hint. Dear Abby: My wife and I have a “friend” who is involved in a charitable organization that provides donated items to people in need via community giveaways. Over the years we have given various items to this person to use in these giveaways. However, we have noticed that some of the items we have given her are now showing up in her home, and clothing we donated is being worn by her family members. Abby, we donated because we be-

CRYPTOQUOTE

lieved our things were going to those in need. Are we wrong to be upset that they have been kept for her family’s use? We are considering no longer giving our donations to her. She is a wonderful person, and we’re hesitant to confront her with our concerns, but we are left feeling our generosity was abused. How should we handle this? — Used And Abused in Southern California Dear Used: Unless this “wonderful person” has been paying the organization for your items, what she is doing could be considered theft or fraud and an abuse of your generosity. To prevent it from happening in the future, deliver the items directly to the organization and not to her.

Dear Abby: When is it appropriate to ask a stepparent about a deceased parent’s will? I don’t want to cause any hard feelings, but I think that at some point I have a right to know about my parent’s will. — Cathy in Georgia Dear Cathy: Of course you have the right to know about the contents of your parent’s will. I don’t know how long your parent has been gone, but if it has been more than a month, contact his or her attorney and inquire. 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). The tricky part is in deciding what you can teach others that will make the most difference in their lives. Once you figure this out, you’ll share it and imprint yourself on the future. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some people settle for trying to look busy when others are watching, specifically the boss. You genuinely want to be of service, so when you don’t have work to do, you’ll find some. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Supposedly, while doing what you love, you’re not working at all. But you may still sweat, pant and come away from the project with sore muscles, as well as a big smile. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may be forgetting about the very thing that brings out your enthusiasm for life. If someone were to say to you “just go for it,” and you were to be extremely excited by that very idea, what would the “it” be? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today brings a rather thrilling plot twist that you do not, and in fact cannot, have any control over. Your lack of influence is precisely what makes it so thrilling. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll handle the attention you get today with your usual modesty. You’ve mastered the art of seeming to be unaware of your charms, all the while enhancing them. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To feel loved, honored and cared for is a feeling that goes beyond any sense of security that money

could buy. You’ll feel this today, even though it may be in a small way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will tell the truth in a way that makes others feel open to you. You won’t accuse, blame or complain. You’ll simply speak about how you feel from a very loving heart, and finally you’ll be heard. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If your life were a classroom, you would need to sit in the front today in order to clearly see the teacher. Don’t worry about whether or not you’re seen as cool. What you stand to learn is too important to miss. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you can look back and see that you’ve made many mistakes, it means you’re a liver of life, a risk-taker and a doer. Experience trumps theoretical knowledge any day. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What’s useful is the urge to overdo things. Today represents a rare occasion in which some degree of excess is what’s necessary to get a job done. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Make plans that will show a loved one that your relationship is important and special. Otherwise, you could wind up sitting around and watching television instead of creating good memories. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 16). This year you’ll consistently talk to yourself in that encouraging way in which you already talk to many others, which will help you to take on big challenges and be successful. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 6, 31, 2 and 29.
