Pressure was restored to the splash pad when city public works department employees cleaned the filter and replaced a solenoid switch that was malfunctioning. McLaughlin said the splash pad will be routinely checked to avoid blockages or impairments that could affect its performance. The recent high temperatures, coupled with high humidity levels, have brought more children to Coal Street Park and the splash pad. The heat and humidity are expected to continue until a front passes through later this week. For the forecast, see page 8B.

Criminal unit probes missing fuel ings. That’s because State Revenue Dept. looking into record discrepancies in Wilkes-Barre. audits conducted by By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The state Department of Revenue has referred the investigation into missing fuel in WilkesBarre to the agency’s auditing department and its Bureau of Criminal Tax Investigations, according to a letter sent to a city resident who sought an investigation.

The new maps, part of a nationwide revision, should be impleBrozena mented by the first week of November, said county Flood Protection Authority Executive Director Jim Brozena. Property owners in high-risk zones must buy flood insurance if they have outstanding standard or reverse mortgages. A rule known as “grandfathering” allows property owners to keep lowerrisk flood insurance rates if they acquire insurance 30 days before the effective date of the new maps, said Dave Bollinger, a mitigation outreach coordinator for the Federal Emergency Management Agency Region 3 in Philadelphia. The savings could be substantial. The National Flood Insurance Program’s website says the premium ranges from $304 to $1,057 for a $100,000 structure with contents in a low-tomoderate risk zone, compared to a $1,129 premium for the same coverage in a high-risk zone.

Title Fight happy to be home With the Vans Warped Tour, the area group heads to its biggest local stage – Montage. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – After crisscrossing the United States since the Vans Warped Tour started on June 6, Ned Russin says he and the other members of Title Fight will be glad to be back in Northeastern Pennsylvania on Wednesday. “We’re just so excited to get home and play around home for the first time in a while. We’ve been out on the road for over a month now, and the tour has been going really well. It’s our first time on the Warped Tour. We’ve been to it when they’ve come to Scranton before and it’s always a really fun day,” said Russin, of Kingston. “There are so many bands and, this year especially, we’re very happy that there’s one of our friends’ bands and bands that we’ve grown up listening to and we look up to. … Taking Back Sunday and New Found Glory are two of the bands that we literally grew up listening to and (they) are playing. It’s really cool to be on the same tour as those guys,” Russin said on Monday. The band was formed in 2003 by Russin; his twin brother, Ben, who plays drums; and guitarist/ vocalist Jamie Rhoden when the trio was barely teenagers. Guitarist Shane Moran joined in 2005. Title Fight gathered a sizable local following over the years, playing venues such as the former Café Metropolis – the band’s favorite. “It was around for 15 years, and that’s really where we had our start and we really kind of figured out what we wanted to do and

what we wanted to be as a band,” Russin said. “We played there, The Zoo, The Future, Redwood Arts Base – there’s been a lot of (these) venues in the area, and we’ve had the good fortune to be able to play a lot of them. And hopefully there’ll be a lot more and we’ll continue to play them,” he said. Russin said he looks forward to seeing how local fans will react to seeing the band play a large venue such as Montage on Wednesday. “We’ve always played small, intimate shows and this is the first time we’re ever doing something around home that is on a bigger scale, so I think it’s gonna be an

interesting thing to see because we’re not much of show people, you know? We’re not going to put on a show just to put on a show; we’re going to play our songs as we normally do, just in a different venue,” he said. “So, for anybody that’s seen us before, it may be a little bit different in size, but we’re going to play the same songs, we’re going to have a lot of fun and hopefully people will be there and people will be excited to see us.” And while Russin promises a lot of the same, he says the band has changed over the years. “We started the band when we were 12 and 13 years old. As with anything, as you grow up, you

kind of progress and grow in different directions. I feel like we’re still the same people that we were almost 10 years ago, but, at the same time, we’ve just expanded our interests and our views in everything. So they’re still the same band that we’ve always loved, but we just keep adding on and keep trying to do something more and unique each time,” Russin said. “Our lyrics are just very personal to us. We’re growing up, so it shows in the lyrics. But we just like to sing about stuff that happens to us. We’re not singing about anything out of the ordinary. It’s just kind of our means of expressing ourselves. So I think

there have definitely been a lot of changes, but I don’t think it’s really anything out of the ordinary,” he said. As for the band’s sound, Russin doesn’t necessarily like to be pegged strictly as “hardcore.” “I think when a lot of people hear that word, it is kind of scary to them. They kind of expect these big, scary-looking people to be up on stage and people to be punching each other and stuff. That’s a really big misconception. I think if people would listen to us, they wouldn’t really call us that,” Russin said. “To us, it’s kind of more just a mentality. It all comes from punk rock and stuff like that. We’re a hardcore band because of how we kind of present ourselves. It’s a very stripped-down, no-frillsabout-it, just a very straightforward, in-your-face, aggressive kind of music. But that doesn’t mean that there’s not melody and a lot of interesting stuff going on at the same time, and I think that’s where a lot of people get confused, that they think it’s going to be somebody screaming. I think there’s a lot more to it than that,” Russin said. Russin doesn’t regret that he and his bandmates dropped out of college in 2009. “I think college is something that’s always there. I would love to go back to school and further my education. But at the same time, I think it’s a really cool opportunity we have and we’re very excited to be doing something on this level,” Russin said. “It shows we’ve done a lot of hard work over the last three years since we haven’t been in school and to be at the point where we’re playing on the Warped Tour, we’re playing at Montage Mountain and doing all this stuff, I mean, it’s a big deal and we’re really happy and excited about it,” he said.

A crew of workers from Stell Construction Co. work to tear down the garage adjacent to the former Old River Road Bakery on Monday. The property is now owned by Bruce Lefkowitz of Harrold’s Pharmacy on Old River Road. Lefkowitz plans to renovate the former bakery (seen in background) and move his pharmacy to the site. He also intends to rent some space to retail tenants. He said he hopes to have the project completed this fall, transforming the former bakery into a 22,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art pharmacy. Lefkowitz formed a corporation – 250 Old River Road LLC – for the project. He paid $50,000 for the building and 1.14 acres and plans to spend an additional $3.8 million on renovations.

Obama, Romney battle over jobs plan, cronyism By CHARLES BABINGTON and STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Using unusually vivid language, Mitt Romney tried to take the political offensive against President Barack Obama on Monday, accusing Obama of cronyism that “stinks” in steering federal contracts to supporters. He also dropped hints through a spokesman that a vice presidential pick could come any day. Unfazed, Obama needled his Republican rival for finally having a job-creation plan — for people overseas. At the same time, though Romney endeavored to switch the campaign focus, questions about his tenure at Bain Capital, a venture capital company, seemed des-

tined to shape the conversation at least a while longer. On a day devoted mainly to raising money, Romney went on Fox News to complain that all Obama can do “is attack me” on Bain and other subjects rather than taking useful steps to improve the economy. But the Democratic incumbent showed no sign of letting up. Rallying for support in crucial Ohio, Obama said Romney’s proposal to free companies from taxes on their foreign holdings would displace American workers. The president cited a study he said concluded that “Gov. Romney’s economic plan would in fact create 800,000 jobs. There’s only one problem, the jobs wouldn’t be in America.” Romney’s campaign contended Obama’s

Energy Department has steered loans and grants to several companies connected to the president’s political supporters. Romney, speaking to donors in Baton Rouge, La., said Obama had a policy of “taking your tax dollars and putting it in businesses owned by contributors to his campaign. And that is smelly at best. It stinks.” Romney aides cited some well-known cases, such as Solyndra, a California solar energy company that went bankrupt, and some less-publicized cases. They include Westly Group, a venture capital firm whose affiliated companies have received federal loans and grants. Steve Westly, the company’s founder, is a major Obama campaign fundraiser.

Teen’s defense raps autopsy findings Attorneys for Cody Lee want the case moved to juvenile court. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Cody Lee’s defense attorney Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. did not waste any time Monday, going on the offensive challenging autopsy reports and disciplinary procedures in the Lake-Lehman School District. Olszewski and co-defense lawyers

Melissa A. Scartelli and Charles Rado are trying to convince Luzerne County Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. to transfer a homicide charge against Lee to juvenile court. Lee was 16 years old when state police at Wyoming and the District Attorney’s Office alleged he carried out a plan to kill his great-grandfather, Herbert Lee, 80, inside their home on Meeker Outlet Road in Lake Township on Dec. 9, 2009. Assistant district attorneys Michael

Melnick, Shannon Crake and Mamie Phillips believe Lee should be prosecuted in adult court because his alleged plot to kill his great-grandfather was written in a notebook. Forensic pathologist Dr. Gary Ross, who conducted Herbert Lee’s autopsy on Dec. 10, 2009, said Monday the elder Lee died from a gunshot wound to the head. Ross said there was no burning of the skin near the gunshot wound, leading him to believe the shot was fired at a distance.

Peddler of heroin gets 3-6

WILKES-BARRE

A man scheduled for a trial in Luzerne County Court on Monday on a felony charge that he sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl pleaded guilty to a lesser offense. Thomas Richard Dunbar Jr., 24, of Wilkes-Barre, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, a third-degree misdemeanor. Luzerne County Senior Judge Joseph Augello sentenced Dunbar to six months probation. Prosecutors withdrew a charge of statutory sexual assault, a seconddegree felony, against Dunbar. Newport Township police alleged in arrest records that Dunbar was found having sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old girl inside a pickup truck along Alden Mountain Road on Aug. 19, 2010. A mistrial was declared when a county jury was unable to reach a verdict against Dunbar after a trial in January. The negotiated plea agreement was reached before a second trial scheduled to begin Monday. Attorney Joseph Sklarosky Sr. represented Dunbar.

Ross declared the manner of death a homicide. Olszewski challenged the autopsy findings, noting Herbert Lee’s death certificate was issued by the county Coroner’s Office on Dec. 10, 2009, about a month before Ross signed the autopsy report on Jan. 6, 2010. Olszewski asked why Ross found Herbert Lee’s death a homicide and not an accidental shooting.

Nancy Brace bags some sweet plums in the family shop. The hot weather has led to earlier-than-normal crops for the family-owned farm, now in its eighth generation.

Surprise harvest

Crops coming in early, thanks to high temps

By SHANTELLE JOHNSON Times Leader Intern

bove-average temperatures this spring and summer have led to an early season at local fruit farms. Brace’s Orchard in Franklin Township has recently been selling fruits that usually do not fully ripen until mid-August. The eighth-generation operators at the familyowned farm aren’t complaining because customers are happy to find produce available earlier than usual. But the unusual season means things are not going according to schedule.

“Everything is two or three weeks early,” said Nancy Brace, mother of owner Paul Brace. A season that begins early will end early, too, she said. “I can’t remember it ever this early.” Most of the fruits grown at Brace’s have come in earlier than expected, including peaches, plums, nectarines and blueberries. “We’ve never had them come so soon,” she said. So far, yields have held up and customers have shown up in sufficient numbers to buy. “We have a bigger selection now than ever,” Paul Brace said. “People are always looking for stuff in the summer and now we finally have it.” While some farms are suffering, Brace’s has been fortunate to have the same amount of produce this year as usual, he said. Apples, the farm’s signature fruit, are picked and stored throughout the year, so early ripen-

ing of summer fruits will not affect the apple season in the fall. The hot weather and early ripening has not affected the fruits’ taste, Nancy Brace said. However, workers do occasionally need to halt their picking in order to get out of the heat. “We could use more rain,” Nancy Brace said. The farm has an irrigation system, but it has not been started yet. “I wish it was like this every year,” Paul Brace said about the early season. “It’s good, just odd.” According to the National Weather Service, today’s forecast is sunny with a high of 92, and a low of 72. The extended forecast predicts above-normal temperatures over a wide area that includes Northeastern Pennsylvania and near-normal precipitation into early August.

WILKES-BARRE – A member of the G-Stone Crip street gang was sentenced Monday to state prison on charges he peddled heroin in the area for more than two years. Dexter Kenneth Yard, 23, lastknown address as Mark Drive, Hanover Township, made arrangements to sell heroin Yard in parking lots of family restaurants and in apartment complexes, according to arrest records. Luzerne County Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. sentenced Yard to three to six years in prison on multiple drug-trafficking offenses. Yard told authorities after his arrest in a restaurant’s parking lot on the Sans Souci Parkway, Hanover Township, on Jan. 28 that he is a member of the G-Stone Crip street gang, which is based in Brooklyn, N.Y. The state police Vice and Narcotics Unit alleged Yard, also known as Jersey and Junior, sold heroin near the Marion Terrace community room on Oct. 4, at McDonald’s on the Sans Souci Parkway on Oct. 18, near the Huber Street Playground in Wilkes-Barre on Jan. 27, 2011, and in Building 332 at the Sherman Hills apartment complex, Wilkes-Barre, on July 29, 2010, according to arrest records. Hanover Township police charged Yard with selling heroin in the McDonald’s parking lot on Jan. 20, and near his apartment on Mark Drive on Sept. 13, arrest records alleged. Kingston police charged Yard after he sold heroin in the CVS Pharmacy parking lot on Market Street, Kingston, on Oct. 14. Yard was also sentenced on a theft charge filed by city police for cashing a forged check at the Anthracite News store on Public Square, WilkesBarre, on May 21, 2011. Assistant District Attorney Jill Matthews Lada prosecuted the case. Attorney Jonathan Ursiak represented Yard.

W-B promises action on fallen trees in Solomon Creek The city is cleaning debris from creek beds to alleviate flooding, an official says. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE -- A city resident said Monday she asked officials last week to have some fallen trees removed from Solomon Creek, but got no response. But the city said it did respond to Jewel Malloy and the trees will be removed “in short order.” Malloy said several large

trees fell into the creek last week. She said she called the Department of Public Works garage and Mayor Tom Leighton’s office to report the situation. She said she left messages at both places but got no response. Malloy said she is afraid that if the creek waters rise, the trees will block the flow and homes in the area could get flooded. “Thank God there’s not much water in the creek,” Malloy said Monday. “Our old mayor would have seen that this was taken care of. This mayor won’t do anything unless it’s in

center city.” Drew McLaughlin, administrative coordinator for the city, said Malloy’s calls were returned. “According to DPW, a complaint was received on July 9th and the complainant was informed by the next day that it would be addressed as a part of a program,” McLaughlin said. “Within a week, Solomon’s Creek is being worked on.” He said a complaint to the mayor’s office was received on the same day and was referred to DPW.

Reservoir. Township Supervisor Dave Sutton said the board is working on a solution to the problem, such as possibly restricting the distance people can ride their vehicles from residential areas. He also advised the residents to contact the state Department of Environmental Protection if they are concerned that the lot is in a wetlands area. “We’re not totally against people using quads on their property,” Sutton said. “They just need a large property.” The board also announced the

township will begin to accept recycling at the township building in the near future. Assistant Township Secretary Marian DeAngelis said Abe N. Solomon Inc. of Wilkes-Barre will provide recycling service to the township free of charge. “This is not exclusive to township residents,” said Sutton. “We’re hoping parents who are dropping their kids off at school will drop off their recycling on the way.” The board said Solomon was the only company that offered

free recycling services. The board voted to authorize DeAngelis to negotiate a one-year contract with Solomon, rather than the two-year contract, which Solomon requested. The board added it hopes to offer recycling drop-off times during the week and every other Saturday. DeAngelis said the recycling will “single stream,” meaning items don’t have to be separated. More information about the program will be provided in the near future.

gun to school, he wasn’t threatening anybody?” Olszewski asked. “No,” Pollard replied, noting verbal threats about bringing a gun to school need to be investigated no matter what the circumstances. Pollard said he kept “anecdotal notes” when he disciplined students but those notes regarding Lee were “either in a Dumpster or shredded.” Pollard said he could not recall the name or if he questioned the student who made the claim that Lee threatened to bring a gun to school. The hearing began last week and arguments from prosecutors and Lee’s attorneys are expected to wrap up this week.

Ross said he relied upon statements from investigators, which he normally does when conducting autopsies on gunshot victims. Former Lake-Lehman assistant principal Jon Pollard testified he suspended Lee for three days in January 2007 after another student claimed Lee threatened to bring a gun to school. Upon questioning by Olszewski, Pollard said he did not directly hear the threat that was told to him by a guidance counselor, who also did not hear the threat. Pollard said he believed Lee’s excuse that Lee was talking about a video game. Edward Lewis, a Times Leader staff “If he wasn’t going to bring a writer, may be reached at 829-7196.

DALLAS TWP. -- The Dallas School Board may gain $308,000 because of historically low bond rates. Dave Payne and Brian Koscelansky, representatives of PNC, encouraged the board at Monday’s meeting to pass a parameters resolution next month. Payne said this kind of resolution will allow the board to specify a minimum level of savings on the district’s debt service and will allow PNC to move quickly and capture a low rate. Payne said that without a parameters resolution, the wait time for refinancing a bond issue was about two months. He said the market is unstable and bond interest rates are low. He said the process was similar to locking in a rate on a

proposal and voted to advertise its intent to refinance the bond issue which generated funds for the new high school and other projects. This does not commit the board to refinance. It will decide whether to pass a parameters resolution at the August meeting. A resolution to renew a contract with accounting firm Bonita and Rainey met opposition from board member Karen Kyle. “It is good practice to bring in fresh eyes,” she said. She recommended considering other agencies to audit the district’s finances. “There’s no question that a public body, like a corporation, should change auditors after a certain period of time,” Board Solicitor Ben Jones said. The resolution to renew the contract with Bonita and Rainey failed, with board member Bruce Goeringer voting yes

Clinton: U.S. to act to stop Iran nukes

B R I E F

Secretary of state meets with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in Mideast tour. By BRADLEY KLAPPER Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday that the U.S. will “use all elements of American power” to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weap-

on. The veiled threat was delivered at the end of a day of meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. The comments come at a time when the U.S. and Israel debate how best to deal with Iran’s nuclear program. The U.S. is seeking more time for negotiations and sanctions, while Israel has repeatedly hinted at military action. Both suspect Iran may be

aiming toward producing nuclear weapons. Iran denies that. After her declaration about possible use of U.S. power, Clinton said everyone prefers a diplomatic resolution, and “Iran’s leaders still have the opportunity to make the right decision. The choice is ultimately Iran’s.” Clinton and Israel’s president also spoke Monday about the need to halt Syria’s violence.

She met President Shimon Peres for about an hour as part of what is perhaps her final visit to Israel as secretary of state, bringing a message of solidarity to the Jewish state after three-and-a-half years of only stunted progress toward a Palestinian peace deal. After their visit, they each issued a statement to reporters without taking questions. Peres spoke about the importance of maintaining Israel’s

three-decade peace with Egypt, and decried the violence in neighboring Syria. He also voiced support for the Obama administration’s pressure on Iran to halt its nuclear activities — which has sometimes been a point of contention between a cautious U.S. keen to give negotiations and sanctions time to work and an Israeli government that has threatened military action.

Violent fight over land in Honduras

Drought spreads in U.S.

Children play in an open field of La Confianza, Honduras, a city developed from land seized by small-scale farmers from one of Honduras’ richest men. The collection of tin-and-wood shacks boasts a health center, a school, a meeting hall and a store. The seizure has spawned a violent land conflict between the farmers and owner billionaire Miguel Facusse in which at least 63 people, mostly peasants, were killed in the last three years in the Bajo Aguan Valley.

Fracking oversight faulted

Fifty-five percent of continental U.S. is abnormally dry, report says.

ost states aren’t doing enough to ensure the water safety and health of communities near gas wells where hydraulic fracking takes place, according to a new report by a Washington, D.C.-based research and advocacy group. Those states that do have chemical disclosure policies in place, the OMB Watch report says, have loopholes that essentially allow companies to circumvent disclosure regulations. According to the report, of the 30 states that are engaged in natural gas drilling, only 13 have passed some legislation regulating fracking, a controversial drilling technique that pumps large volumes of water mixed with chemicals and sand into the ground in an attempt to break apart shale rock and free natural gas. Environmentalists have been strong proponents of banning fracking, claiming that it contaminates water supplies. But so far, there’s been no scientific data directly linking fracking to water pollution.

Syrian capital violent scene Syrian rebels fired at tanks in Damascus residential districts, armored vehicles blocked the main entrances to a neighborhood and protesters briefly barricaded a main highway into the city with bricks and burning tires, leaving hundreds of cars backed up in some of the worst clashes to hit the tightly controlled capital since the uprising began 16 months ago. The scenes from the second straight day of fierce clashes in Damascus, unfolding in amateur videos posted online, were the latest evidence that Syria’s conflict is fast devolving into a civil war that is moving ever closer to the seat of President Bashar Assad’s power.

In an interview with police released Monday under a judge’s order, the woman said she was fondled, groped and kissed by Zimmerman beginning when she was 6 and he was about 8. She said it continued until she was about 16. Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, had fought the release, calling it an “uncorroborated, irrelevant statement” in court documents. HOUSTON, TEXAS

Gilliland says lightning struck one of the trees, killing one of the men. Two others were also hit and taken to a Houston hospital, where a second man was pronounced dead.

Lake being drained

Authorities still have no leads on missing girls By DAVID PITT Associated Press

ES MOINES, Iowa — Authorities searched an Iowa lake again Monday for two missing girls whose bicycles were found nearby. They then began to drain the lake. Elizabeth Collins, 8, and her cousin, Lyric Cook-Morrissey, 10, were last reported seen Friday afternoon leaving their grandmother’s house. Their bicycles and Elizabeth’s purse were found later that day near a bike trail at the edge of Meyers Lake in the northeast Iowa city of Evansdale. Black Hawk County Chief Deputy Rick Abben says the draining of the nearly 5-acre lake began Monday and could take up to three days. Officials believe it will go faster due to the low level of the lake and the Cedar River, into which it drains. Abben said local, state and federal authorities have been “grasping for straws” in the frantic search. A tip line turned up numerous reports of articles of clothing that had been found, but none belonged to the girls. He said it was as if they had just disappeared. “It wouldn’t be proper for me to stand here and tell you we have a theory because we don’t,” he said. “We have two missing girls and we have no idea why.” FBI spokeswoman Sandy Breault said the agency was working to get photos of the missing girls onto more billboards and websites. She said the bureau was sending in dogs trained to search for human scents in the area where the girls went missing. Authorities have been dredging the lake and interviewing family, friends and registered sex offenders who live in the area. Abben said the case is still considered a missing persons investigation and there was nothing to suggest they’ve left Evansdale or had been abducted. A search of a 12-mile radius drew nearly 1,000 volunteers Saturday and almost 900 Sunday, but there were no significant leads, Abben said. With the heat and people going back to work, authorities decided not to do another large-scale search on Monday. “Right now we don’t feel putting more civilians on the street looking for us is going to be a benefit,” he said. Instead, rescue teams searched the lake by boat again Monday. Officers stopped cars at a number of intersections in town, questioning some drivers and searching trunks, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported. Oth-

ers passed out fliers about the girls. Elizabeth’s parents didn’t immediately respond to calls Monday, and Lyric’s family couldn’t be reached for comment. On Sunday, the mothers of both girls said they were trying to stay strong. Misty Cook-Morrissey said her daughter might have tried to swim at the lake, despite a swimming ban. She said the family swims at another nearby lake regularly, and described Lyric as a good swimmer.

MINNEAPOLIS — The drought gripping the United States is the widest since 1956, according to new data released Monday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Fifty-five percent of the continental U.S. was in a moderate to extreme drought by the end of June, NOAA’s National Climactic Data Center in Asheville, N.C., said in its monthly State of the Climate drought report. That’s the largest percentage since December 1956, when 58 percent of the country was covered by drought. This summer, 80 percent of the U.S. is abnormally dry, and the report said the drought expanded in the West, Great Plains and Midwest last month with the 14th warmest and 10th driest June on record. The nation’s corn and soybean belt has been especially hard hit over the past three months, the report said. That region has experienced its seventh warmest and10th driest April-to-June period. “Topsoil has dried out and crops, pastures and rangeland have deteriorated at a rate rarely seen in the last 18 years,” the report said. The report is based on a data set going back to 1895 called the Palmer Drought Index, which feeds into the widely watched and more detailed U.S. Drought Monitor. It reported last week that 61 percent of the continental U.S. was in a moderate to exceptional drought. However, the weekly Drought Monitor goes back only 12 years, so climatologists use the Palmer Drought Index for comparing droughts before 2000. In southern Illinois’ Effingham County, Kenny Brummer is facing a double whammy — the drought has savaged the 800 acres of corn he grows for his 400 head of cattle and some 30,000 hogs, leaving him scrambling to find the couple of hundred thousand bushels of feed he’ll need. “Where am I going to get that from? You have concerns about it every morning when you wake up,” Brummer, 59, said Monday. “The drought is bad, but that’s just half of the problem on this farm.”

NYC ban made fast food healthier By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — Turns out it’s possible to make a fastfood lunch a bit healthier even without skipping the fries. New York City now has hard evidence that its ban on trans fat in restaurant food made a meaningful dent in people’s consumption of the artery clogger and wasn’t just replaced with another bad fat. The findings being published today have implications be-

yond heart health, suggesting another strategy to curb the nation’s obesity epidemic fueled by a high-calorie, super-sized environment. Consider: Americans get more than a third of their daily calories from foods prepared outside the home. By year’s end, the Food and Drug Administration hopes to finalize longawaited rules that would make many restaurant chains post the calorie counts of their products right on the menu. New York City’s rule restrict-

ed artificial trans fat in restaurants, making them alter recipes so foods contained no more than 0.5 grams per serving. The latest study by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene shows the amount of trans fat in each of 15,000 lunches sold dropped an average of 2.4 grams after the ban, researchers report in toay’s edition of Annals of Internal Medicine. The biggest drop, 3.8 grams, occurred in hamburger chains.

Casino servers cry foul Two former waitresses charge Bensalem, Pa., facility with discrimination. By STEPHANIE FARR Philadelphia Daily News (MCT)

PHILADELPHIA -- Luck may be a lady, but she better not be pregnant, or overweight. Two former cocktail waitresses have filed a federal lawsuit against Parx Casino, in Bensalem, Pa., claiming that they were demoted when they became pregnant. Parx’s chief counsel said the casino’s policy has been changed since the women filed complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2009. The establishment now provides maternity versions of its skimpy uniforms to its cocktail waitresses, who are known as Parkettes. However, a rule remains that Parkettes and their male equivalents, Park Men, must not deviate more than 7 percent from their body weight when they were hired. Parkettes Alycia Campiglia, 27, and Christina Aicher, 31, who both became pregnant while working for the casino in 2008, claim that when they told managers they were pregnant, they were informed that they could continue as Parkettes only until their costumes no longer fit, according to their lawsuit, filed July 5. Campiglia said that when she approached the director of marketing at Parx, Darlene Monzo, about the issue, Monzo told Campiglia that she “did it to (herself)” and that the “casino did not have to offer (Campiglia) anything in this economy,” according to the lawsuit. Both women said they were offered transfers to the concession stand or players services, but they said they wouldn’t be able to earn tips. The EEOC determined in August 2009 that Parx had discriminated against pregnant cocktail servers. “We changed the policy to say you can work (as a Parkette) if you’re pregnant,” said Thomas Bonner, Parx’s chief counsel and vice president. “We do have maternity costumes now.” What hasn’t changed, though, is Parx’s strict weight limitations. Parkettes and Park Men are subject to periodic weigh-ins, and if they fail, they are subject to termination. Sidney Gold, who represents Campiglia and Aicher, said Parx can get away with such physical limitations on cocktail servers because they define Parkettes as “entertainers.” “The only entertainment these women ever did was serve liquor,” Gold said. “They were anything but entertainers.” Bonner said those employees are considered entertainers because they participate in calendar and talent contests and make public appearances off-site. No other casino staffers are subject to the weight requirement, he said. “We’ve established the Parkettes as sort of a brand with which customers identify the casino, and it’s important to maintain the integrity of the brand,” he said. In 2006, cocktail waitresses at the Borgata Hotel Casino in Atlantic City filed a $70 million lawsuit against the casino for instituting a 7 percent weight-gain policy. The lawsuit was settled out of court in 2008 for terms that weren’t disclosed. Last year, Resorts Casino in Atlantic City was hit with three lawsuits that are pending from veteran cocktail waitresses who claim that they were demoted or let go because they were too old or not sexy enough for the new flapper costumes.

Florida teen convicted in student beating By DANIEL CHANG McClatchy Newspapers (MCT)

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. The brutal beating of Josie Lou Ratley on the campus of Deerfield Beach Middle School was not the act of an insane person, but the calculated crime of an angry young man intent on murder, a Broward jury ruled on Monday. It took jurors four hours to deliberate a guilty verdict and reject the insanity defense of Wayne Treacy, the former Deerfield Beach High School student charged with attempted first-degree murder with a weapon. In March 2010, Treacy threw Ratley to the pavement, then repeatedly slammed her head against the ground and kicked her in the head with steel-toed boots because she sent him a taunting text message about his dead brother. Treacy, 17, sat expressionless as the court clerk read aloud the jury’s verdict in a Broward Circuit Court room. He faces a maximum sentence of 50 years in prison, and a minimum of 15 years. After the verdict, Ratley’s family issued a statement through an attorney expressing gratitude to jurors and prosecutors. “We want to thank the jury for seeing the truth and doing jus-

tice,” the statement read. “It is not a day to rejoice, however. This is a tragedy for all involved. Thank you to the jury for having the courage to make the right decision. It is one more step on the road to moving on with our lives as best we can.” For Treacy, life will continue without the intense psychiatric treatment that he needs but likely will not receive in prison, said Russell Williams, Treacy’s defense attorney.

“You still have a mentally ill child,” he said, adding that his client has been under suicide watch in jail. “There is nothing to do for him but throw away the key.” Maria Schneider, the assistant state attorney prosecuting the case, said she was satisfied with the jury’s verdict. But she added that, given the youth of Treacy and Ratley, who also is 17, “This is one of those cases where it’s difficult to be joyful.”

Schneider said she hoped one message will resonate with young people following the trial: “I hope they realize because you’re angry, because you’re upset, because you have issues, it’s never OK to take matters into your own hands.” Though Treacy showed no expression when the verdict was read, Williams said his client was "kind of shocked.” Williams said he plans to appeal the verdict because his cli-

ent’s defense was hampered by Broward Circuit Judge David A. Haimes’s ruling that the jury could not watch and hear a twohour interrogation video of Treacy conducted in the hours following the attack. Haimes ruled that Treacy’s statements in the video, in which he claims to have blacked out during the attack and that he only meant to scare the girl, were considered hearsay and self-serving. He said the defense could not present Treacy’s statements to the jury without giving prosecutors a chance to cross examine him. Treacy declined to testify in his own defense, but his attorneys said he was in the grip of a hypnotic "dissociative episode" when he attacked Ratley. Both were 15 at the time of the attack. The dissociative episode, a psychiatrist testified at trial, was triggered by a text message Ratley had sent Treacy on the day of the attack telling him to "go visit your dead brother,” whose suicide Treacy had witnessed in October 2009. Ratley suffered permanent brain damage from the beating, a neurosurgeon testified at trial, and she likely will have trouble forming any new memories for the rest of her life.

LONDON — British rocker Jon Lord, the keyboardist whose powerful, driving tones helped turn Deep Purple and Whitesnake into two of the most popular hard rock acts in a generation, died Monday. He was 71. A statement on Lord’s official website says the musician suffered a fatal pulmonary embolism in London after a long battle

with pancreatic cancer. Lord co-wrote some of Deep Purple’s most famous tunes, including “Smoke on the Water,” and distorted the sound of his Hammond organ to powerful effect on songs including “Hush” and “Highway Star.” He later had a successful solo career. The statement posted on Lord’s website said he died “surrounded by his loving family.”

Country superstar is dead By JOE EDWARDS Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Singer Kitty Wells, whose hits such as “Making Believe” and “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” made her the first female superstar of country music, died Monday. She was 92. The singer’s family said she died peacefully at home after complications from a stroke. Her solo recording career lasted from1952 to the late1970s and she made concert tours from the late 1930s until 2000. That year, she announced she was quitting the road, although she performed occasionally in Nashville and elsewhere afterward. Her “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” in 1952 Wells was the first No. 1 hit by a woman soloist on the country music charts and dashed the notion that women couldn’t be headliners. Billboard magazine had been charting country singles for about eight years at that time. She recorded approximately 50 albums, had 25 Top 10 country hits and went around the world several times. From 1953 to 1968, various polls listed Wells as the No. 1 female country singer. Tammy Wynette finally dethroned her. In 1976, she was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame and 10 years later received the Pioneer Award from the Academy of Country Music. In 1991 she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences — the group that presents the Grammy Awards. Her 1955 hit “Making Believe” was on the movie soundtrack of “Mississippi Burning” that was released 33 years later. Among her other hits were “The Things I Might Have Been,” “Release Me,” “Amigo’s Guitar,” “Heartbreak USA,” “Left to Right” and a version of “I Can’t Stop Loving You.” In 1989, Wells collaborated with Brenda Lee, Loretta Lynn and k.d. lang on the record “The Honky Tonk Angels Medley.” “I never really thought about being a pioneer,” she said in an Associated Press interview in 2008. “I loved doing what I was doing.” Her songs tended to treasure devotion and home life, like “Searching (For Someone Like You)” and “Three Ways (To Love You).” “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” gave the woman’s point of view about life.

Our Tapestry Called Life

During life in the womb Paul was given a loom Upon which life’s walk would start. His life was the thread That the Father had led In and out, with all others a part. In his tapestry, to date; Son, brother, and mate, All woven into one big picture. An uncle to some, To all, a friend he’d become Making a most colorful mixture. From beginning to end A helping hand he’d lend To all intertwined in his life. As a child, a teen, An adult he was seen As most caring and sharp as a knife. A gentle, kind soul Patience/Love his goal All woven throughout his whole frame. So we’ll always be glad That in our lives we had Paul entagled in our halls of fame. His optimism showed bright In the dark, there was light An so we’ll forget him never. His body is gone But he’ll always belong In our hearts and our thoughts forever. written by Niece Barb 7/17/02 Deeply Loved and Sadly Missed by Wife, Family & Friends

Pittston Twp. hires patrolman By JOSEPH DOLINSKY Times Leader Correspondent

PITTSTON TWP. – Supervisors made official the hiring of a full-time police officer at their monthly board meeting Monday. Contingent on the passing of a required physical, Joseph Hawk was selected from nine applicants and was named as a fulltime patrolman. Additionally, supervisors are continuing to review applications for a chief of police. The deadline for applications is

Wednesday, and the supervisors expect to make a decision on the position in the coming weeks. In new business, the 2012 Flood Plain Ordinance was adopted in a unanimous vote. The ordinance requires all persons, businesses and corporations to obtain a permit for construction on areas within the township designated as falling within the flood plain. The new law also sets up minimum requirements for those properties and establishes penalties for

those who should fail to comply. On display was an architect’s design for a state-of-the-art township police station that will be built next to the municipal building. Secretary John Bonita said township officials are continuing to work with the design firm on a floor plan for the new building. July pre-paid bills were ratified in the amount of $42,647.17 and bills payable in the amount of $52,846.33.

Lake-Lehman OKs superintendent raise LEHMAN TWP. -- The LakeLehman School Board approved wage increases, athletic coach appointments and other personnel matters at a meeting Monday. The board approved a 3.5 percent raise for Superintendent James McGovern and a 60-centper-hour raise for Assistant to the Superintendent Mary Jo Casaldi. Board President Mark Kornoski said those positions are separate contracts from most other administrative positions covered by Act 93, a section of the state school code that pertains to administrative wages. He said the superintendent and his assistant participated in a pay freeze last year. The board voted 5-2 to ratify the Lake-Lehman Education Association and Lake-Lehman Educational Support Personnel Association agreements, which will extend contracts for another two years. The

contracts had already been approved at a special meeting in June. Kornoski and board member Karen Masters voted against the measures, while board members Andrew Salko, Walter Glogowski, James Welby, Richard Bombick and Kevin Carey voted for the motions. Board members Bo Kreller and David Paulauskas were absent. Kornoski also said teachers will receive a 2.6 percent raise and “free health care” with this agreement. “I think it’s a terrible thing to do to the taxpayers,” he said. Kornoski also asked Solicitor John Audi if members could vote for the contracts if they have family members employed by the district. Audi said the state ethics commission ruled that as long as board

members were not voting on individual family members’ salaries, it was ethical. Kornoski said he believed Bombick and Welby have family members employed by the district. The board also awarded a bid to Premium Builders of Wilkes-Barre for the alterations to Lehman-Jackson Elementary School for a child care facility in the amount of $156,570. McGovern said bids were higher than the budgeted $100,000 for the project, and the funding will be supplemented by the capital improvements fund, which has about $90,000 left over from Ross Elementary School improvements. The board also appointed Seana Chappell of Hunlock Creek as cafeteria manager for Ross Elementary at the rate of $12.65 per hour with an additional 80-cent-per-hour manager wage adjustment. The board also appointed 23 coaches for the 2012 fall sports season.

Penn State could face years of litigation But one lawyer says the university is taking steps to limit the amount of damage from Freeh report.

By KEVIN BEGOS Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Penn State University could face years of litigation over Jerry Sandusky’s abuse of children, but the school is also doing some things that may limit the damage, according to lawyers with experience in such cases. The 267-page report released last week by former FBI Director Louis Freeh provides extensive leads for victims’ lawyers, said Richard Serbin, an Altoona attorney who has handled more than 150 sexual abuse cases over the last 25 years. But the very fact the school supported and paid for such a hardhitting report could help convince the victims that Penn State has changed its ways, said Max Kennerly, a Philadelphia attorney who thinks settlements could range from $1 million to $10 million per victim. Kennerly said the biggest trial

PATERNO Continued from Page 1A

Freeh presented his opinions and interpretationsasiftheywereabsolute facts. We believe numerous issuesinthereport,andhiscommentary, bear further review.” The Paternos last week said it was inconceivable that any responsible adult would knowingly cover up for a child predator. Sandusky, 68, was a top assistant under Paterno for 22 years before retiring in 1999. A Centre County jury last month found Sandusky guilty of abusing 10 boys over 15 years, often in university facilities. Relatives of Paterno, who died Jan. 22 at age 85, have responded angrily to claims their patriarch long helped conceal evidence of Sandusky’s abuses. “Our interest has been and remains the uncovering of the truth,” the Paternos said in the statement Monday. “We have never tried to run from this crisis or shift all responsibility to others. To help prevent this sort of tragedy from happening again at Penn State or any other institution, it is imperative that the full story be told.” In the wake of criminal charges against Sandusky, Penn State trustees asked Freeh in November to beginanindependentinvestigationat the university. The $6.5 million ef-

verdicts often come when a company or institution refuses to accept responsibility for past actions. He said that while the Freeh report raises serious Freeh questions about the behavior of past administrators, the school has been much more proactive since Sandusky was indicted. “I think that’s a tremendously important factor,” Kennerly said. But Kennerly said suggestions that Penn State could face costs of more than $100 million seem exaggerated, since there’s a good deal of information on how much the Catholic Church has paid to settle more than 5,000 abuse claims. According to BishopAccountability.com, which tracks the scandal, the most any single victim has gotten is $3.4 million, and only about 50 people have received more than $1 million. The largest single case, in Los Angeles, paid 508 victims an average of $780,000 each, and in some cases victims received as little as $27,000 each.

fort, which includes more than 100 recommendations for reform, levied criticism not only at Paterno but also at former university President Graham Spanier, former athletic director Tim Curley, retired Vice President Gary Schultz and the trustees themselves. Only Curley and Schultz have been criminally charged, but Spanier and Paterno also failed in their responsibilities, Freeh said. And while top administrators did not effectivelyprotectchildren,thetrustees did not exercise effective control of the institution, he found. Spanier,CurleyandSchultzhave maintained their innocence. The Paternos said Monday their independentreviewwillfocusinparton Freeh’s public presentation and press conference last week. “We have also asked (lawyers and experts) to go beyond the report and identify additional information that should be analyzed,” the Paterno statement reads. “And we have asked the Freeh group to preserve all records, notes and other materials related to the investigation and the presentation of their findings, as we expect they will be the subject of great interest in the future.” The Paterno family does not expect the Freeh report will be “the last word on this matter.” Still, attorneyshaveaskedthefamilytodecline further comment until the lawyers can provide an update on

But Kennerly said the possibility of punitive damages is the “wild card” in the Sandusky case, which in the worst possible view suggests “four separate employees of Penn State who are intentionally covering up child abuse.” Serbin said that in one early church abuse lawsuit that he started in 1987, a jury ultimately found that church leaders had a greater degree of fault than the priest “who had been molesting kids for 19 years.” “The reason is those people had an opportunity to stop the predator,” he said of church leaders, just as the Penn state administrators did. Serbin added that the school doesn’t have a full picture yet of the total number of victims who might sue, so it’s hard to guess at total liability. Moody’s, the credit firm, said last week that it hasn’t changed Penn State’s rating, but has added a negative long-term outlook because of uncertainty over abuse lawsuits. “We expect that the university will likely be able to absorb the

their progress, according to the statement. Meanwhile, The Associated Press reported Monday that attorneys for Spanier say the Freeh report “contained numerous inaccuracies and reached conclusions that are not supported by the data.” Attorneys Elizabeth Ainslie and Peter Vaira said Freeh “unfairly offered up” their client and others “to those insisting upon a finding of culpability at the highest level of the university.” The attorneys say Spanier is looking forward to the opportunity to “set the record straight.” Spanier’s attorneys also said the Freeh report ignored the fact that Spanier received high-level federal security clearance. The attorneys note that Spanier has held a job with the federal government that required "top secret security clearance." That clearance underwent a re-review after the Sandusky scandal came to light in November. According to Spanier’s attorneys, the four-month investigations included interviews with “many of the same individuals the FreehGroupinterviewedandother relevant individuals Freeh did not

impact of the civil suits and settlement of the known claims in the near-term, given its still strong market demand, positive cash flow and financial resources exceeding $5 billion,” Moody’s said in a statement. “However, with the release of the Freeh report and its harsh criticism of both the board of trustees and senior leadership, Penn State faces greater uncertainty regarding the emergence of both future legal actions and financial claims against the university.” Penn State currently faces three civil suits filed by victims’ attorneys. Trustee Ira Lubert said Friday the university’s lawyers plan to reach out to plaintiffs’ lawyers to discuss settlements. The school’s primary general liability insurer, the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association Insurance Co., has sued Penn State over PMA’s responsibility to cover potential damages from one of the claims. Penn State has countersued. PMA spokeswoman Diane Nafranowicz had no comment Monday.

she and the Kirby staff – along with the show’s promoter – made the decision as a team. “It was just a very, very sensitive time and we felt it was really the most sensitive decision,” Santarelli said. Asked the promoter’s reaction, Santarelli said: “I think we all had a common mind.” The hour-long documentary about the late Penn State coach highlights the “Grand Experiment” – Paterno’s belief that you could obey the rules and still play topflight winning football. The movie, which was first shown on Valentine’s Day as a present to Sue Paterno, the coach’s widow, contains comments from 70 former Penn State players who were interviewed over 12 days in locations across the country. The film was completed just two days before Paterno died. It has been shown on several PBS stations – including WVIA-TV – over the last few months. Attempts on Monday to reach Eric Porterfield, one of the writers of the film, were unsuccessful.

OTHER OPINION: CAMPAIGN BUCKS

Clear the way for texted dollars

HE FEDERAL Elections Commission cleared the way last month for political campaigns to collect small contributions from mobile-phone users through text messages, a proposal backed by both presidential campaigns and a slew of grassroots groups. One crucial faction, however, isn’t so thrilled. That would be the wireless phone companies. The companies want a guarantee that they won’t be held responsible for illegal contributions – a fear that seems to be exaggerated, but one that the commission should dispel swiftly. The donation plan was proposed by two political consultants and Los Angeles-based MoEDITORIAL BOARD

bile Messaging. They sought permission to let phone users make campaign contributions to federal candidates by sending a text message authorizing the candidate to bill their mobile account for up to $50 per month. The FEC should put an end to the carriers’ foot-dragging and let Americans use their phones to help the candidates they favor. In an era of “super PACs” and unlimited independent expenditures, small-dollar contributions might seem quaint and increasingly irrelevant. But they offer an easy way for more people to get involved in politics, which is just the sort of thing the government should be encouraging. Los Angeles Times

MALLARD FILLMORE

Benefits of jobs for teens go beyond the paycheck I WELL remember how my first job made me feel: capable, creative, in charge. I was a summer counselor at a YMCA day camp, and still practically a kid myself, just out of 10th grade. I made a lot of mistakes. As the arts and crafts counselor, I blew most of my $200 budget on Popsicle sticks and gimp. We ran out of arts and crafts supplies halfway through the summer, and so taking long “nature walks” became our fallback. I wonder what the campers’ parents thought. Making mistakes like that is partly what early jobs are all about. We learn, and then make better decisions when the “real” job comes along. So it’s troubling that teenagers today are facing their third consecutive summer of bleak employment prospects – in fact, the worst since World War II, when the government began keeping track. In April, the jobless rate for 16- to 19-year-olds approached 25 percent. And the unemployment rate only counts those actively looking. Many are too discouraged by the dismal economy to try. Parents might debate the merits of teens taking jobs bagging groceries versus studying or pursuing music, sports or collegelevel courses. But the poorest Americans don’t have that choice, and to double down on their woes, they are hit hardest by teen unemployment. Last summer, only one in five teenagers with annual family income below $20,000 had a job, according to a report by Northeastern University’s Center

MAIL BAG

ANNE MICHAUD for Labor Market Studies. Not only aren’t these teens earning needed cash – or learning the life lessons I got at the YMCA – but the joblessness they experience now might drag them down for years. One study in the United States and Britain said that 37-year-old men who had sustained a year of unemployment before age 23 made 23 percent less than their peers. The equivalent gap was 16 percent for women. College graduates who took jobs beneath their education or outside of their fields often never got back to where they might have been, according to what the Japanese learned from their “lost decade” of economic doldrums in the 1990s and early 2000s. When the Japanese economy recovered, employers preferred graduates fresh out of school, creating a generation that suffers higher rates of depression, heart attack and suicide, and lower life expectancy. These structural problems with capitalism – the ups and downs of the business cycle – should not be borne by individuals, but collectively. That’s why we have unemployment insurance, for example. Other countries seem to have a better understanding of this. Germany’s renowned apprenticeship program, a training period of two to four years, attracts roughly two-thirds of vocational school students

there. They’re often hired afterward, one reason Germany has a far lower youth unemployment rate than us, at 9.5 percent. Firms and government share the apprenticeship expenses. The Netherlands, also keen on averting a lost generation of workers, is dividing full-time, private-sector jobs into two or three part-time ones, with government providing supplemental income for parttime workers. When the economy improves, Dutch 20-somethings will be ready with skills and experience. The New York Youth Works program has the right idea. On Long Island, at least 64 employers have signed up. The program offers them tax credits for hiring low-income youth. Given that unemployment among teens is more than twice the 7.4 percent rate for adults on Long Island, we should expand this program. When teens work, it teaches them independence, responsibility, a good work ethic and how to get along with others. Our collective future depends on investing in their success.

COMMENTARY

So it’s troubling that teenagers today are facing their third consecutive summer of bleak employment prospects – in fact, the worst since World War II, when the government began keeping track.

am writing in regard to the historic Forty Fort Cemetery. Each year when I return to the area I go to the cemetery where my parents are buried to clean around the tombstone and plant flowers. I also attend to a friend’s parents’ burial site and that of two veterans’ plaques. These plaques usually are covered with grass and weeds. I clean around them and make them what they should be, in tribute to what these veterans gave for their country. Recently, my wife and I decided to seek out the memorial that was dedicated to those people whose burial plots were lost in the Agnes Flood. We were very disappointed in the condition of this site: grass in the pathways, dirty benches, etc. What a wonderful project this could be for a Boy Scout or for a service organization or veterans organization. The Meeting House looked very good with its overhaul, but the cemetery was in much need of maintenance.

DOONESBURY

civilian arms, illegal weapons transfers and legal possession, and seeks to include ammunition under its control. A new body – the Implementation Support Unit – would be authorized to “help” nations with compliance with the treaty. Aside from demanding more financial support from American taxpayers, this treaty could impose requirements on the United States, as a signatory, that would dilute, undermine or impede the Second Amendment. U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey’s office indicated he opposes this treaty. U.S. Sen. Bob Casey’s office says he has no position. Casey’s good friend Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she would sign this treaty, and Casey’s other good friend Barack Obama supports the treaty. If this treaty ever makes it to the Senate for ratification, we need to make sure Sen. Casey votes no, assuming by then he is still in office. I urge everyone concerned about this treaty to check into it, then call Sen. Casey at (202) 224-6324 and demand he oppose this treaty. Charlie Spano Scranton

Barletta nearing $1 million mark in fundraising Republican Marino holds an edge over his challenger as contributions announced. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

With $220,077 raised between April 5 and June 30, the Lou Barletta for Congress campaign committee moved closer to the $1 million plateau for the 2011-12 election cycle. According to the financial report filed at Sunday’s Federal Election Committee mandated deadline, the Barletta campaign received $143,435 from individual donors and $76,642 from political committees such as PACs. With the newly reported income, the committee has received

Among the noted individual donors to Cartwright were: former Lackawanna County Commissioner Mike Washo, $250; former Luzerne County judge and current attorney Lewis W.

owners to consult an insurance agent to determine the exact costs. Brozena said property owners should obtain insurance by the end of September to ensure they meet the deadline. He is in the process of posting information on grandfathering on the county’s website, www.luzernecounty.org. The lower rate would remain in effect as long as property owners keep their policies active, Bollinger said. Property owners also may have the option to transfer their lower-rate policies to new owners if they sell, he said. The grandfathering provision was intended to protect property owners who didn’t know their structures would end up in high-risk zones when they purchased or built them, officials said. Lending institutions are responsible for determining which borrowers require the insurance but may suggest policies that tack on unnecessary fees or don’t take advantage of the grandfathering option, Bollinger said. The new maps may be viewed in municipal offices or online at https:// www.rampp-team.com/ pa.htm (see attached instructions). Brozena said the following municipalities each have more than 150 properties added to the high-risk zone: Black Creek, Dallas, Dennison, Hanover and Plains townships; Exeter and West Wyoming boroughs. While 10,300 properties will be added to the high-risk zone in the county, 8,800 will be removed and no longer required to carry flood insurance, Brozena said.

Among the well-known contributors are two former area congressmen – Joseph M. McDade, who gave $500, and Don Sherwood, who sent $1,000. Others include: Keith Eckel, a Clarks Summit farmer and member of the Penn State board of trustees, $1,000; Brandon Igdalsky, Pocono Raceway chief executive officer, $500; Richard L.

came from political action committees or political party committees. Among the PACs sending money to Cartwright were those representing state Sen. John Blake, $1,000; and $2,000 from the Friends of Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, was in Scranton last month for a fundraiser for Cartwright. Shane Seaver, a Cartwright campaign spokesman, said the event raised $29,000. He had no comment on Cummings’ report. Cummings, who runs a health care business from her home, reported $6,093 raised in the quarter, $2,000 of it from the Eagle Forum PAC, based in Alton, Ill. That PAC represents the Eagle Forum, a conservative organization that promotes itself as “pro family.” The campaign reported cash contributions from only three individuals and some in-kind donations from a few others. Cummings said she was not surprised to see how much Cartwright was able to raise.

“He’s a wealthy politician,” Cummings said. “I don’t have political friends and allies. He had Nancy Pelosi coming in for him.” She said that while her contribution list is a drop in the bucket compared to Cartwright’s, she is pleased with what she was able to report. “I think it’s great. Ours is from people that don’t have the money to give and yet they did. It’s amazing what people will do to save their country,” Cummings said. Seaver said the Cartwright campaign has “been building momentum since the primary and we are in a strong position financially as we head into the fall. Our successful fundraising effort shows that the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania are resonating with our message of making sure that corporations and wealthy individuals pay their fair share, so working families can get tax breaks for child care and elderly care and ensuring our children have the education needed to compete in today’s economy.”

movals from the high-risk zone, Brozena said, noting many of these impacted property owners are eager to realize the savings from cancelling insurance or switching to less costly low-risk rates. Properties in the high-risk zones are statistically estimated to have a 1 percent chance of flooding in any year and a 26 percent chance of flooding during the life of a 30-year mortgage, Bollinger said. Congress allocated $1 billion in 2003 to redraw flood maps across the country because a nationwide update hadn’t been done for more than two decades, Bollinger said. Federal legislators supported the update because they saw flooding occurring outside mapped flood plains throughout the country, often stemming from new development, he said. The boundary lines for high-risk zones are based on topography, hydrology, hydraulics and data from past flooding events, Bollinger said. Though the maps drive insurance requirements, municipalities also are supposed to use them to assess which land should remain undeveloped near the more than 800 miles of waterways flowing through the county, officials say.

But Scollo’s campaign spun the report positively, issuing a release pointing out that Scollo “raised over $10,000 more from individuals than … Marino did.” In the most recent quarter, Scollo’s campaign raised $57,245.00 from individuals, with half of those contributions coming in checks under $100. Overall, 95 percent of Scollo’s fundraising came from individuals. Over the same three-month period, Marino raised $46,677 from individuals, which was 47 percent of his total, Scollo pointed out. More than half of Marino’s contributions came from PACs and political committees.

Casey rolling in cash Republican U.S. Senate challenger Smith trails nearly three-to-one. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, a Democrat from Scranton, entered the summer with a nearly three-toone advantage in cash in the bank over his challenger, Tom Smith, a Republican millionaire from western Pennsylvania. If the $1.5 million Smith has loaned his campaign is discounted, the disparity is even greater. Casey’s campaign reported about $6.2 million as of June 30 after reeling in $1.9 million in April, May and June. Smith’s campaign reported almost $2.3 million in the bank as of July 1 after raising $702,881from April to June, less than half the amount he personally loaned his campaign.

proven, are serious.” Kraus notes that taxpayer confidentiality laws prevent the department from providing any information concerning any action it may take. “Please be assured that we are handling this matter promptly and seriously,” Kraus said. The Department of Revenue is the enforcement agency that ensures taxes are paid on motor vehicle fuels, which are currently 31.2 cents per gallon for gasoline and 38.1 cents per gallon for diesel. Municipalities and certain other non-profit organizations are exempt from paying fuel taxes, but they must prove the fuel was used only for official business.

Smith, of Plum Creek Township, Armstrong County, spent more than $5.6 million in winning a five-man GOP primary battle for the party’s nomination. He emerged successful in the April 24 primary and must now face Casey, who has name recognition, fundraising experience and the ability to call on President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden to campaign on his behalf if needed. According to the Smith campaign, 89 percent of its donations made by individuals came from within Pennsylvania. “We continue to be overwhelmed and grateful for the

outpouring of support from thousands of donors who are responding to Tom’s message of lower taxes and less debt, as well as his experience creating jobs here in Pennsylvania,” said Jim Conroy, Smith’s campaign manager. Larry Smar, campaign spokesman for Casey’s committee, said, “This is his biggest fundraising quarter of the campaign.” The Casey campaign spent $505,799 during the quarter. Of the $1.9 million raised, $1.12 million came from individuals and $321,885 came from political committees and $99,106 was transferred in from other committees. The campaigns released only the top-line numbers and not the complete reports themselves listing all donors and expenditures. Neither of the reports was available on Federal Election Commission websites on Monday.

count for 10,260 gallons of gasoline and 7,620 gallons of diesel fuel. If it cannot provide documentation of how that fuel was used, it could be required to pay a total of $6,104 in taxes on the undocumented fuel. That amount could be significantly higher if the department finds accounting problems for prior dates. It has the authority to look back at two years’ worth of records. Kadluboski also filed a complaint with Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis. Salavantis said Monday she just received the complaint from District Judge Martin Kane. She said she is reviewing the matter with her staff and expects to make a decision, possibly as

early as today, regarding whether she will launch a criminal investigation. Drew McLaughlin, administrative coordinator for the city, previously confirmed the Department of Revenue contacted the city for records related to its fuel usage. On Monday, he said that as far as he knows, no one from the city has been contacted by criminal investigators with the Department of Revenue. McLaughlin reiterated the city’s position that the missing fuel is a matter of poor record keeping. “We are confident this is merely a clerical error that we admit we have to get a tighter grip on. We will cooperate with any outside agency relating to this matter,” he said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Platte County, Mo., authorities Monday charged Clifford D. Miller of Trimble, Mo., with the methamphetamine-fueled slaying of two sisters whose bodies were found in a field Sunday after they disappeared from their home in Edgerton, Mo. The 31-year-old Miller faces two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of the two women he is accused of suffocating when his attempt at a tryst went wrong. His bond was set at $500,000. A conviction would carry a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd noted he could also seek the death penalty against Miller. Authorities also confirmed the identities of the victims as Britny Haarup, 19, and Ashley Key, 22. Their bodies were dis-

went to the home where the women lived. The murder charges contend Miller admitted going to the home with the intention of having sex with Haarup, although the two had no previously sexual relationship. He entered the unlocked home unannounced and found Key sleeping on the couch, the charges state. Key awakened and confronted Miller, the charges allege, and he punched her and then grabbed an object from a table and struck her with it. Miller, the charges allege, then smothered her until she stopped moving. The charges allege Miller then entered Haarup’s bedroom with his mind set on a sexual assault, struck her with a large stick and then suffocated her with a pillow when she began to scream. Before leaving the home, the charges contend, Miller smoked more methamphetamine and then took the women’s bodies in a Dodge Ram pickup and dumped them near County Line

dence in Parkville. The sisters had noticed been missing since Friday afternoon, when Haarup’s fiance, Matt Meyers, found her two infant daughters alone in a crib at her home in northern Platte County. Haarup’s cell phone also was left in the residence, as were her purse, her sister’s purse and the shoes her sister had been wearing. On a couch was a bloodsoaked comforter. Family members said several guns were missing from the home. Authorities earlier Sunday talked to Miller, at the time calling him a “person of interest,” and served search warrants in Parkville and Trimble, Mo., as the investigation focused on a field near 200th Street and the Platte-Clay county line. There, a Platte County deputy on Saturday discovered a parked vehicle linked to the sisters’ disappearance. The women’s father attended the press conference, along with

other visibly shaken members of the family. “They’re never going to have a chance to see their mother’s smile,” Paul Haarup said. Authorities had searched since Friday for a white 2002 Dodge Ram pickup truck that had been parked outside the home that morning until about 9:30 a.m. There were no visible signs of foul play in or on the vehicle located Saturday, and an initial search of the field did not produce any additional evidence, the sheriff’s department said. The bodies, found late Sunday northeast of where the truck was parked, were transferred to the Jackson County medical examiner’s office for identification and autopsies. Prior to the discovery, Paul Haarup said the family was on “pins and needles” as it awaited the results of the investigation, which has included sheriff’s deputies from Platte, Clay and Clinton counties as well as investigators from the Missouri Highway Patrol and the Kansas City Police Department.

Els walks into nightmare of 16 years ago, where his bad memories never fade. By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England — Ernie Els walked toward the century-old clubhouse that sits squarely behind the 18th green at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. Just the sight of it Monday evening was enough to bring back a memory. It wasn’t a particularly good one. Els made a furious charge on Sunday in 1996, his first time in serious contention at the British Open. He chipped away at an eight-shot deficit to Tom Lehman until he was slowed by a bogey on the 16th and another on the 18th for a 67. That left him two shots behind, having to wait around to see if Lehman would somehow make a double bogey on the 16th hole. “I was sitting in that damn locker room there,” Els said, smiling as he pointed toward a darkened glass window in the clubhouse. He wasn’t alone. Next to him that day was a 20year-old amateur, Tiger Woods, who had a 66 in the second round and was low amateur for the week at Lytham. Woods was asking Els for advice on whether he was ready to turn pro. “He was trying to figure out his future, and I was trying to figure out if the guy was going to make double bogey or not,” Els said. “Tom made par and Tiger turned pro. I was (doomed) either way.” Els broke into easy laughter. He eventually captured the claret jug six years later at Muirfield. As for the kid at his table? Woods turned pro, and now has three claret jugs among his 14 majors. Els has been a runner-up to Woods seven times, the most of any player. They are at different places in their careers coming into the 141st British Open, which returns to Lytham for the 11th time when it starts Thursday. Woods has won three times this year on the PGA Tour, again is the betting favorite whenever he plays and needs only another major championship to shut up the skeptics who wonder whether he will ever return to being a force in golf.

DALLAS – The first three trips to the plate Monday were rough for Christian Roberts. Two strikeouts followed by getting hit by a pitch behind the left ear. The fourth time, though, made up for it. Roberts hit a two-run double, AMERICAN sparking Back Mountain American’s four-run seventh inning in a SOUTH WILKES-BARRE 9-8 victory over South WilkesBarre in the Section 5 Little League major baseball winners bracket final. District 31 champ American improved to 7-0 in tournament play and can clinch the sectional title with a win 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at home. “That why you try to win two games, so you get that day’s rest,” American manager Steve Mathers said. “It helps with pitching for sure. It’s a very grueling tournament on PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER pitching.” South Wilkes-Barre will once again South Wilkes-Barre catcher Jake Tomolonis readies himself to make a tag

OPINION

Carrying a new legend to the top of the hill

s he scurried through a thinning staging area helping with some post-race cleanup, the new king of the hill heard fans and fellow competitors laying it on thick. And suddenly, Darryl Danko climbed out of his ’98 Lola and into the same seat as his boyhood hero. “It’s so humbling to me,” Danko said. “I do the best I could.” His best was better than all the rest who ever ran the Giants Despair Hillclimb. That includes event legend Oscar Kovaleski, who Danko passed Sunday for all-time Giants Despair victories with his seventh win on the course once described as hair-raising, if not death-defying. Kovaleski defied the odds in his day by being the fastest driver to climb the one-mile stretch of Laural Run hill for six years in the 1960s and 70s, awing crowds that once included a very young Darryl Danko. “He was the man,” said Danko, now 42, who began attending the annual Giants Despair Hillclimb when he was about 5 years old. “When I was a kid, that was the era when he was the guy. He’s an inspirational guy. You were almost afraid to go talk to him, he just had that swagger about him. “We just looked up to him.” He never figured back then he’d be held in such high esteem. “No,” Danko laughed. “I never thought I would hold the record. In hindsight, it all seems like a dream.” But he reached a revered status through sheer will as well as his driving skill. Danko set his all-time victory record for fastest overall time of the day on a recently-repaved course that crumbled records in just about every other category Sunday – due to a surface that has considerably more grip and less danger than the one Kovaleski became accustomed to navigating to victory. But Danko dazzled in the days where super-slick cars have become the norm and testing isn’t an option. “These races aren’t something you can practice for,” Danko said, noting the surface changes from one day to the next. “Every hill is different.” Yet his consistency at Giants Despair, which began 106 years ago and bills itself as the nation’s oldest hillclimb, seems to remain the same. Danko’s seven victories came within the 15 years he’s floored cars up the hill. He also guns it when it comes to race preparation. His family, led by his father Jack Danko, took over the race management – leaving Darryl Danko lugging cones and equipment before and after he races Giants Despair each summer. “There’s so much work we do for this event,” Danko sighed. His best work comes behind the wheel, though. And earned Danko his own legend on the one-milehill with a lightningquick time of 40.1 seconds in the “Special 3” Class on Sunday. “We’ve had a lot of (other) records, also,” said Danko, a Laurel Run resident who competes on courses from Maryland to Reading as part of the Pennsylvania Hillclimb Association series. “This is definitely number one for me, my hometown. “There’s nothing better than setting this record.” It sets a wide smile on his face, because it’s Danko’s home course, the one he couldn’t wait to walk down as a kid and watch sporty cars try to conquer. “As kids, we grew up watching this,” Danko said. “It was larger than life when we came down here. “It was like our second Christmas.” Little did he suspect, his best present was waiting Sunday on top of the hill.

ON THE MARK

Three-year old filly trotters are the star attraction over the next couple nights at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. This evening four divisions of The Stallion Series take place for a slightly lesser caliber of Pennsylvania bred horse. Then tomorrow a faster group of young trotters invade the Downs, for three divisions of the PA Sire Stakes. One of the best young trotters in the country ships in on Wednesday as well, her name is Maven. It is indeed a very good next few days at the Plains Township oval.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

The New York Yankees’ Raul Ibanez, second from left, is greeted by Robinson Cano, left, Alex Rodriguez, second from right, and Mark Teixeira after he hit a grand slam during the eighth inning of the game against the Toronto Blue Jays Monday Stadium.

Ibanez hits slam in 8th; Yankees beat Blue Jays The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Raul Ibanez hit a tiebreaking grand slam with two outs in the eighth inning and the New York Yankees beat Toronto 6-3 on Monday after Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista left the game with a wrist injury. Ibanez connected on a 3-1 pitch from Jason Frasor for a no-doubt drive into the first row of the second deck in right field to snap a 2-all tie. Bautista injured his left wrist on a swing in the eighth and was removed from the game. He hit a long foul ball against David Robertson and immediately grabbed his wrist, dropping into a crouch outside the batter’s box. Tigers 8, Angels 6

DETROIT — Brennan Boesch hit a tiebreaking tworun homer in the seventh inning and the Detroit Tigers rallied for a victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels led 5-2 after a four-run fifth, but the Tigers chipped away, scoring two runs in the bottom of that inning and three more in the seventh. Delmon Young tied it with a sacrifice fly and Boesch followed with a homer off reliever LaTroy Hawkins (2-2) to make it 7-5. Red Sox 5, White Sox 1

BOSTON — Adrian Gonzalez spoiled Kevin Youkilis’

return to Fenway Park, hitting a tiebreaking three-run homer in the eighth inning to lift the Boston Red Sox to a win over the Chicago White Sox. Boston traded Youkilis on June 24, sending the three-time All-Star and cash to Chicago for utilityman Brent Lillibridge and a minor league pitcher. Youkilis went 3 for 4 with two doubles in his first game back at his former home. Carl Crawford returned to Boston’s lineup after missing the entire season with left elbow and wrist injuries, going 1 for 3 with a walk. Indians 3, Rays 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Zach McAllister shrugged off being struck in his pitching arm by a line drive to finish six solid innings and the Cleveland Indians held on to beat the Tampa Bay Rays. McAllister (4-1) appeared to get hit in the right arm above the elbow by Jeff Keppinger’s RBI single in the fourth inning. He remained in the game to retire the next six batters and eight of the last nine he faced overall. Mariners 9, Royals 4

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Casper Wells homered and drove in a career-high five runs, all of them against Jonathan Sanchez, and the Seattle Mariners beat up the Kansas City Royals and their beleaguered starter in a victory.

Marlins’ Ramirez homers in victory over Nationals The Associated Press

MIAMI — Hanley Ramirez hit a two-run homer, Carlos Lee drove in two runs, and the Miami Marlins beat the Washington Nationals 5-3 on Monday night to split the teams’ four-game series. Carlos Zambrano (5-7) allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings, and snapped a four-game losing streak. Heath Bell pitched a scoreless eighth, and Mike Dunn pitched the ninth to record his first career save. Dunn allowed a two-out single to Bryce Harper and walked Ryan Zimmerman before striking out Adam LaRoche to end the game. Zimmerman reached base five times and was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle for the Nationals, while Danny Espinosa needed a homer to accomplish the feat. Nationals starter Edwin Jackson (5-5) allowed four runs in five innings to take the loss. Diamondbacks 5, Reds 3

CINCINNATI — Miguel Montero drove in four runs with a bases-loaded double and a solo homer Monday night, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a win shortly after the Cincinnati Reds learned they’ll have to try to hold onto first place in the NL Central with-

out Joey Votto. An MRI found the All-Star first baseman has torn cartilage in his left knee that will require surgery and sideline him for three to four weeks. The slumping Diamondbacks scored four runs in the first off Bronson Arroyo (4-6), who lasted a season-low three innings. The Reds had gotten impressive starts during a six-game winning streak that boosted them into first. AllStar Wade Miley (10-5) gave up three runs in 5 2-3 innings for Arizona. J.J. Putz got his 17th save in 20 chances. Cardinals 3, Brewers 2

MILWAUKEE — Allen Craig hit a bloop RBI single off Brewers closer John Axford to take the lead, and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied to beat the Milwaukee Brewers. Milwaukee was leading 2-0 going into the ninth but Axford struggled with his control right away, eventually loading the bases with two outs and giving up a game-tying, two-run single to Matt Holliday. Axford (2-6) then was lifted after giving up the single to Craig, which dropped softly into shallow left field. Axford left the game to a steady stream of boos from the crowd.

Deep drives give Yankees runs galore By Times Leader Staff

ROCHESTER – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees totaled a season high in runs in a 14-2 victory over the Charlotte Knights in the opening game of a four game series at Frontier Field. The Yankees scored early and often en route to their seriesopening victory over the Knights. Corban Joseph put the Yankees on the board in the bottom half of the first with an RBI single to left field. Later in the inning, Kevin Russo scored from third on a passed ball to give Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre a 2-0 lead. The Yankee added two more runs in the bottom of the third after Brandon Laird cleared the wall in centerfield with a two-run home run. Although four runs were more than enough, the Yankee offense tacked on five more in the bottom of the fourth. Chris Dickerson extended the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre lead as he scored on a fielder’s choice off the bat of Jack Cust. Later in the inning, Russo scored on a wild pitch and Cole Garner delivered a three-run homer give the Yankees a 9-0 advantage. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre added four more runs in the fifth on a Joseph ground rule double and three run blast by Cust. It was Cust’s team leading 20th home run of the season and put the Yankees on top 13-0 heading into the sixth. Dallas McPherson finally put the Knights on the board in the top half of the sixth with a tworun home run to right field, but the Yankees answered right back in the bottom of the seventh when Kosuke Fukudome roped an RBI single to right field, plating Cust from second and finishing the scoring for the game. Ramon Ortiz earned the win for the Yankees, improving his record to 7-3. Ortiz allowed two runs on six hits, while walking one and striking out five over six innings. The Yankees and Knights start game two today at 7:05 at Frontier Field in Rochester, New York. Adam Warren (5-6, 3.90) gets the ball for the Yankees, while Charlie Shirek (8-4, 3.50) gets the nod for the Knights. Yankees 14, Charlotte 2 Charlotte

Reds 1B Votto needs knee surgery, out 3 to 4 weeks

The Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Reds first baseman Joey Votto will have surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee, leaving the NL Central leaders without their best hitter for the next three to four weeks. The 2010 National League MVP hurt the knee while sliding into third base June 29 in San Francisco, but has continued playing. Votto started for the NL in the All-Star game last Tuesday. A medical exam Monday night detected the tear and Votto will have arthroscopic surgery on Tuesday. General manager Walt Jocketty said Votto didn’t have an MRI earlier because the first baseman didn’t think he needed one.

“He didn’t request it until then,” Jocketty said. “He said it wasn’t a problem until the last couple of days.” Votto decided to have the surgery. Jocketty said it’s a simple procedure that takes only 20 to 30 minutes. “It is in my best interest and in the best interest of the team to do it now so that I can be healthy during the last two months of the pennant race,” Votto said in a statement. Votto is batting .342 with 14 homers and 49 RBIs. He leads the NL in doubles, walks, onbase percentage and extra-base hits. “We’ll see what we can do internally, initially,” Jocketty said. “But it’s going to be difficult to replace Joey Votto.”

It will play at 5:30 p.m. today at Back Mountain Little League in the elimination bracket final against Green Ridge. “I’m confident in every one of the players I have on my team,” South Wilkes-Barre manager Vito Pasone said. “We’re a scrappy bunch, we’ve proved it. This game could have gone either way.” It nearly tilted back to South Wilkes-Barre in the bottom of the seventh, but its three-run rally fell a run short of tying the game. American tied the game 5-5 in the fifth on Josh Holdredge’s RBI single. After a scoreless sixth, Andrew Kovalick opened the top of the seventh with an infield single to deep short. An out later, American loaded the bases when Chris Hadsall reached on a fielder’s choice and J.D. Barrett walked. That led to Roberts smoking a ground-ball double just inside the first base bag for a 7-5 lead. “That was a monstrous hit,” Mathers said. “Obviously, it showed from the couple of runs (South Wilkes-Barre) chipped in in the bottom of the seventh. We just tried to stay focused all game. Hit good pitches, let bad ones go.” Holdredge followed with a sacrifice fly to center, increasing American’s advantage to 8-5 and moving Roberts to third. David Schuster then hit a pop a few feet in front of home plate. Several South Wilkes-Barre players converged, but the ball was misplayed and allowed Roberts to score. The four-run lead looked comfortable until Colin Pasone led off the bottom of the seventh with his second solo homer of the

Montalvo then scored on a wild pitch and a shallow fly by Simon Peter was misplayed, allowing Gillgallon to score and cut the deficit to 9-8. Peter made it to third on the error, but ended up stranded there. South Wilkes-Barre rallied earlier, scoring three times in the fourth to take a 5-4 lead.

For Knicks, match Jeremy Lin or risk regret if he goes BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

This would have been such an obvious decision in February. Jeremy Lin was Kobe Bryant’s equal on the court and at the souvenir stand during a mesmerizing stretch that Commissioner David Stern said he had “never quite seen anything like.” No way the New York Knicks were letting Lin get away back then, when he was the biggest thing in basketball. Things are different now. Lin no longer plays for a coach whose offense seems designed

for him. He’s coming off knee surgery and would come at a monstrous cost — thanks to an offer sheet from the Houston Rockets he signed — even for one of the league’s richest teams. So what once would have been an easy answer now creates so many questions. Do the Knicks want Lin back? Does Lin want to come back? When will it be resolved? The last one should be easiest, but this being the Knicks, isn’t exactly. Teams have three days to match an offer sheet for their restricted free agents, so the Rockets believe the clock expires at

11:59 EDT on Tuesday night. Except the Knicks have never confirmed if they received the offer sheet from the Rockets on Saturday, so it’s possible they have a different deadline in mind, which could even lead to some kind of dispute or protest. The contract is for three years and about $25 million, an enormous figure for someone who has made 25 starts. After paying Lin about $5 million per year the first two seasons, it balloons to nearly $15 million in the final year but would cost the Knicks more than twice that in luxury tax payments under the harsher penalties in

the new collective bargaining agreement. The terms of the original offer Lin had agreed to were four years and about $28 million, creating speculation that he went back to the Rockets and asked for something that would be tougher for the Knicks to match. A number of fans want them to do it anyway, more than 5,000 signing an online petition at Change.org asking the Knicks to keep him. Team officials, who repeatedly said they intended to keep Lin before he signed the offer, won’t comment on their plans now.

in Daegu last year, is the defending Olympic silver medalist. Heathrow usually handles 100,000 to 110,000 arrivals a day, but that was expected to swell to 121,239 on Monday, many of them Olympic VIPs, just 1,710 short of a previous incoming record on Sept. 4, 2011. Another big arrival day will be July 25, two days before the opening ceremony.

“We have spent seven years preparing for the Games’ challenge. Now we are putting that planning into action with thousands of extra staff and volunteers on hand to welcome the world to London,” said Nick Cole, head of Heathrow’s Olympic operations. Also Monday, an official “Games Lane” was opened along the vital M-4 highway from Heathrow into central Lon-

don for Olympic officials, VIPs and athletes. More “Games Lanes” will open in other parts of London as the Olympics approach. London has four other airports, but Heathrow is the only airport where participants can get their Olympic credentials, so it will handle the bulk of Olympic arrivals. The London Olympics start July 27 and end Aug. 12.

Wilkes University head baseball coach Joe Folek, who just finished his 17th season as the Colonel mentor, has decided to step down from his position, Wilkes Athletics Director Addy Malatesta announced on Monday. The Colonels posted a record of 338 wins, 283 losses and four ties during Folek’s tenure. In 2009, he guided the Colonels to an overall record of 29-12, the most wins in school history and in 2007 the squad posted a 24-12 record and won their first Freedom Conference championship while earning the conference’s automatic berth into the NCAA Division III playoffs for the first time since 1978. Folek also coached five players drafted or signed to professional contracts. “I first want to thank Coach Jerry Bavitz and Bob Klinetob who have been with me the entire time,” Folek said. “The great assistant coaches and graduate assistants I’ve had the privilege to work with are the reason I was able to take the job and they are all greatly responsible for the Colonels success over the past few decades. “My greatest thanks also goes out to all the players. There are too many to list and endless stories to tell but

nament at Bay Hill two years ago, though he has given himself a chance in four tournaments this year, including the U.S. Open last month at Olympic. The state of their game might be defined by this British Open. Royal Lytham & St. Annes is identified mainly by its size and its views, or lack thereof in both cases. It is situated on the smallest piece of property of any links course in the Open rotation, and it is the only course that does not offer a glimpse of the water — the Irish Sea in this case. A railway runs along the right side of the outward nine, with homes surrounding the rest of the property. And then there are the bunkers — now under debate whether there are 206 or 205 of them. Masters champion Bubba Watson counted 17 bunkers on the closing hole. But perhaps the most compelling characteristic of the course is the list of Open champions it has produced. Bobby Jones in 1926, the year he became the first player to win the British Open and U.S. Open in the same season. Bobby Locke and Peter Thomson, who combined for eight Open titles in 10 years. Tony Jacklin, the last Englishman to win an Open on English soil. Lehman, nine months before his brief stay at No. 1 in the world. David Duval, two years after he dethroned Woods atop the world ranking. Els recently told Scotland on Sunday that advances in equipment “have had a huge effect on the ability of anyone to separate himself from the rest.” But in links golf, he’s not sure that’s the case. Royal Lytham & St. Annes, at only 7,060 yards as a par 70, is not a course that can be overpowered, even in green conditions. Links golf is at its best when the grass is brown from sunshine and dry spells, such as Royal Liverpool in 2006 when Woods only hit driver once. This year, when the rain never seems to stop in England, the course is softer and not quite running as fast. Regardless, it’s about keeping the ball on grass instead of in the bunkers. And it’s about keeping it out of the rough, which Watson described as hay, and he wasn’t joking. With rain comes high grass, and it’s so

it was because of them that old-fashioned, hard-nosed baseball was a way of life for us for many seasons.” Prior to his stint as head coach, Folek served for six seasons as an assistant coach for the Colonels. In 1994, he served as third base coach as Wilkes captured the Middle Atlantic Conference championship. A 1988 Wilkes graduate, he earned four varsity letters as a member of the baseball team. “The job requires a vast amount of time and over the past few seasons it had become difficult for me to meet these demands,” Folek said. “It was a tough decision to finally make but I think it is the right time because I could never coach the Colonels at half-speed.” Folek, whose father Walter played for the Colonels in the late 1950s, remembers his first trip to Artillery Park and all the experiences that kept the field dear to his heart. “Artillery Park has been one of my favorite places since my Dad took me to a Wilkes Alumni Game there in the early 1970s,” Folek said. “I’m sure I’ll still drop by from time to time. I wish all the players and the program the best of luck for years to come.” A search for Folek’s replacement will begin immediately.

lush that Woods told reporters on Sunday that some spots were unplayable. That much is certain. Aaron Townsend hit a shot into the rough to the right of the 15th green on Sunday, and it took a marshal standing only a few yards away nearly five minutes to find it. Watson went around Monday morning before the heavy rain arrived, and he rarely showed off his pink driver. Even on the 592-yard seventh hole, he hit iron off the tee when a big drive would allow him to get home in two shots. It’s all about staying in the fairway, and not deep in a pot bunker or buried in native grass. “It’s a course where there’s a certain way you’ve got to play it,” Els said, referring to tee shots having to be in the right spots in the fairway. “It’s a lot like Hoylake. You’ll have a lot of guys doing the same thing. So it’s the guy with the best nerves, the best shotmaking, the guy with the best putter. It’s going to come down to the final bit here. If you’re not sure what you’re doing, you’re going to get yourself in trouble. You’ve got to be sure of yourself. “It’s a fair test,” he said. “You’re going to get somebody good this week.” The way the majors have gone, that could be just about anybody. The last 15 majors have gone to 15 players, a streak of parity not seen in golf since 15 different winners from Nick Price at the 1994 PGA Championship through Lee Janzen at the 1998 U.S. Open. Of those 15 major champions, eight have not won another tournament since capturing their major. That includes Webb Simpson, the U.S. Open champion who has played only twice since Olympic, and is not at Lytham because his wife is expecting. The weather this week could determine how Lytham plays, with rain in the forecast and a chance for some dry weather during parts of the weekend. Lytham may look little, but it can play big. “Like on the sixth hole,” Els said of the 492-yard hole that will be a par 4 for the first time. “You’ve got the bunker left, so I took 2-iron off the tee, and I still had a 2-iron for my second shot. You can do that. Make sure you get it in play. Or, you can take a chance and try to feather it through. There’s all kinds of options here. This is great. This is the best one I’ve seen in a long time.”

Slive staying in the SEC penthouse for awhile Commissioner says he has unfinished business and will continue his reign. By JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive has unfinished business and he isn’t leaving what has lately become college football’s penthouse anytime soon. With two new members, six straight football national titles and a four-team playoff to determine future champions, Slive tells The Associated Press he has agreed to run the powerhouse

SEC for “at least a couple more years,” continuing his decadelong tenure. His contract was set to expire July 31, five days after he turns 72. Slive is negotiating new TV deals that figure once again to be the most lucrative in college athletics. The exact method of choosing the four-team playoff field each season must be hammered out, and the SEC is trying to assimilate Texas A&M and Missouri into the now-14-team league. The commissioner discussed those issues — and his future — in an interview ahead of SEC media days, which run Tuesday through Thursday in suburban

Birmingham. “I have agreed with the league that I will stay at least a couple of more years, and then we’ll sit down and decide what happens after that,” said Slive, who makes just over $1 million a year. “Don’t forget it takes two. It’s not just me making a unilateral decision. Both of us need to make that decision.” Auburn’s Jay Jacobs, chairman of the league’s athletic directors, noted that the SEC produced 42 Academic All-Americans, nine national team champions and seven runners-up in 2011-12. “There’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that Mike Slive is the best commissioner in the nation,” Jacobs said. “It’s not an ac-

cident that the dominance of the SEC in recent years coincides with his tenure as commissioner. We all know the SEC has won six straight BCS national championships in football. His leadership transcends football and even all of athletics.” The professorial Slive, who became a first-time grandfather this summer, has no shortage of projects before handing over the reins. University presidents approved the switch to a four-team playoff model on June 26, similar to the one Slive proposed in 2008, three years into the SEC’s current run of dominance. It might have taken an all-SEC West showdown of Alabama vs. LSU in January to

rally sufficient support from other commissioners, athletic directors and presidents. Slive said conference commissioners will gather in September to work on details like revenue distribution and a college basketball-style selection committee for the four semifinalists. “We’ll have to sit down and talk about what would be an appropriate number” for the committee, said Slive, who chaired the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee for the 2008-09 season. “There have been different numbers floated around — 16, 20. We certainly want to have enough members of the committee so that when certain committee members have to recuse them-

A mindset to finish each new mission

Army Olympians find their focus in the field translates well in competition. By DAN ELLIOTT Associated Press

FORT CARSON, Colo. — Dremiel Byers’ twin careers as an Olympic wrestler and a soldier in the U.S. Army overlap at a crucial place, where athletic ambition and the military mission run head-on into the forces that combat and competition can muster. “Never quit. Keep driving, keep pressing. Focus on the mission. Find another gear,” Byers said Monday as he and10 other Army athletes and coaches prepared to leave for the London Olympics. “It’s definitely something that you don’t turn off,” said Byers, a Greco-Roman wrestler who will represent the U.S. in the 120-kilogram (264.5pound) class in London. “At this point, I’m just being who I am. It makes you who you are.” Byers and the other Army Olympians are members of the Army’s World Class Athlete Program, with headquarters at Fort Carson outside Colorado Springs, Colo. They got a formal send-off Monday from their three-star boss, Lt. Gen. Michael Ferriter. “We’re very proud of all of you,” Ferriter told them. Byers is a quartermaster and sergeant first class. He is also a 10-time national champion who competed in the 2008 Olympics. He knows how dangerous the distractions can be at a flamboyant event like the Summer Games, and he has learned how to shut them out. “Ready. I’m just ready,” he said. “Keep chasing the medal. Keep chasing the medal.” Sgt. 1st Class Keith Sanderson, who will represent the U.S. in the rapid fire pistol event in London, said having the entire Army on your side doesn’t necessarily produce a competitive edge, but it’s good to know the military has his back if he’s hurt. Civilian athletes who suffer a career-ending injury are on their own, but soldier-Olympians have a backup, he said. “If we get hurt, we’re still soldiers,” he said. For Sanderson, who also competed in the 2008 Summer Games, his military and athletic skills overlap directly. His Army job is marksmanship instructor. Byers and other Army wrestlers also use their Olympic skills in the Army, training the trainers in the Army’s Combatives School. “Sometimes you may have to grab somebody,” he explained. “You may have to wrestle somebody to the ground.”

selves, we still have a significant group of people considering all the data and evaluating the teams. “I visualize it working not unlike the men’s basketball committee that I was on and chaired for a year. You have both data and statistics and information, and then you couple that with what you see.” The SEC might have had even more shots at a national title under the four-team system. The league had at least one team ranked among the Top 4 in the final BCS standings in 11 of the 14 years the system has been used. Using that formula, at least, two teams would have made the cut in 2006, 2008 and 2011.

USA women leave them Whalen By DOUG FEINBERG AP Basketball Writer

WASHINGTON — Lindsay Whalen scored 21 points and Diana Taurasi added 16 to help the U.S. women’s Olympic basketball team rout Brazil 99-67 on Monday night in an exhibition game. Whalen started in place of Sue Bird, who missed the game because of a death in her family. Bird, who will be playing in her third Olympics at the London Games, practiced with the team this weekend before leaving Sunday. USA Basketball officials did not say when Bird would be rejoining the team. The U.S. men’s national team

Whalen had 10 points and three assists in the first quarter to help the Americans jump out to a quick 13-2 lead. The U.S. led 27-14 after one period and built the advantage to 51-31 at the half. They coasted the rest of the way. Iziane Castro Marques led Brazil with 21 points and Karla Costa added 19.

WASHINGTON — LeBron James scored 30 points and the U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team rallied from an early 10point deficit to beat Brazil 80-69 on Monday night. President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden watched the Americans get off to a dismal start, then turn it around by holding the Brazilians to two baskets in the second quarter. James helped the U.S. pull away in the final four minutes after they led by only seven, getting his final point on a free throw with 31seconds left as Obama departed.

Fedrigo too fast at exciting finish

Orange bolting Big East early

Vande Velde of United States puts pressure on at end, but stage winner pulls away. By JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press

PAU, France — Pierrick Fedrigo of France won the 15th stage of the Tour de France on Monday while Bradley Wiggins kept the overall lead by staying with his rivals in the main pack far behind. The 99-mile route from Samatan to Pau was mostly flat. But, with fatigue kicking in, the teams with strong sprinters didn’t try to chase down Fedrigo and Christian Vande Velde of the U.S. in the final breakaway. Fedrigo, of the FDJ-BigMat team, captured a Tour stage for the fourth time in his career. He left a group of six riders with about four miles to go. Vande Velde, who rides for Garmin-Sharp, was the only one able to stay close. Vande Velde tried to outsprint Fedrigo in the last 200 yards, but his rival accelerated to the line to become the fourth French rider to win a stage this Tour. “It’s incredible. ... The stars need to be aligned,” said Fedrigo, whose last Tour stage victory was also in Pau two years ago. “There are days when things go like that.” Fedrigo said the victory was especially satisfying because he was sidelined for six months last year with Lyme disease. Vande Velde said he had little hope of winning the sprint because of his inexperience in such finishes. “I knew my chances were not

Winner: Pierrick Fedrigo of France led a two-man breakaway to claim his fourth career Tour stage victory. The FDJ-BigMat rider left a group of six riders with about 6.5 kilometers to go, with only Garmin-Sharp member Christian Vande Velde of the United States able to stay close. Vande Velde tried to outsprint Fedrigo in the last 200 meters but the Frenchman accelerated to beat him easily at the line.

Wiggins said he and other riders were looking forward to Tuesday’s rest day. “A lot of people are tired now — mentally more than physically,” he told French TV. “It was hard today nonetheless, it was quite hot. And the road was hilly.” Tour organizers said another six riders dropped out of the race, including France’s Sylvain Chavanel because of illness. Brett Lancaster of Aus-

tralia withdrew because of back pain from crashes in Saturday’s 13th stage, his OricaGreenEdge team said. Fortytwo riders have now quit the race, trimming the pack to 156. Tour organizers completed their tally from Sunday when tacks were thrown on the course. Race director JeanFrancois Pescheux said the 30 top riders had a total of 61 flat tires because of the small nails. Also, hundreds of cars, bikes and motorcycles in the race convoy were affected. He said police are investigating. The rest day comes before two punishing days in the Pyrenees. Those rides, along with a time trial in the next-tolast stage, are likely to determine the winner of the threeweek race, which ends July 22 in Paris.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Big East has reached an agreement with Syracuse University, allowing the Orange to leave the league a year early for the Atlantic Coast Conference. Syracuse announced last fall its intention to join the ACC, but underBigEastbylawstheschool needed to serve a 27-month exit period. Instead, the Orange will nowbeallowedtoleaveonJuly1, 2013 and will have to pay a fee of $7.5 million to depart. That’s $2.5 million more than specified in the conference bylaws. “Both sides thought the deal was truly reasonable, and it was done in a most collegial way,” Syracuse athletic director Daryl Gross said. “We’re excited that we were able to negotiate and that sophisticated minds came into play and we were able to get it done.” Under the terms of the agreement, a vote will be taken the next time the Big East Conference presidents meet, likely via teleconference. That session has notbeenofficiallyscheduledyet, according to associate commissioner John Paquette, but it’s a mere formality now. “This closes a chapter and opens a new one filled with exciting possibilities for the Big East’s future,” interim commissioner Joe Bailey said. “With the recent addition of eight schools to the Big East, the future for the conference has never been brighter.” Pitt will also leave the Big East for the ACC, but its departure

date remains uncertain. The school filed a complaint in a Pennsylvania court in early May, claiming the Big East had waived its right to enforce its 27month withdrawal notice and that the Panthers should be allowed to move to the ACC without further penalty by the 201314 conference year. While that case is still pending, Syracuse’s future is no longer in doubt. “We look forward to the new academic and athletic partnerships and the extraordinary competitive opportunities that membership in the ACC offers,” Gross said. “We are excited aboutbothourfinalseasoninthe Big East and our long-term future with the ACC. The Big East was formed in 1979 with Syracuse as one of seven original members. Moving to a new conference will be a bittersweet moment for the Orange and men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim, the all-time winningest coach in league history with 393 victories. “We have tremendous memories in the Big East,” Gross said. “Next year will be a year we know we’ll reflect upon as we go through it. It’s actually nice that we have this year to transition.” Syracuse and Pittsburgh announced last September they were jumping to the ACC, and the Big East initially announced it would hold both schools to their league membership through the 2014-15 season. Pitt paid half its $5 million exit fee at the time of the announcement and agreed to remain in the conference until July 1, 2014. That move prompted Big East member West Virginia and TCU, which had agreed to join the Big East in 2012, to instead bolt for the Big 12.

NFL

Rice, Forte run up long-term contracts The Associated Press

Ray Rice and Matt Forte got what they wanted Monday: long-term contracts that sometimes elude NFL running backs. Neither Rice nor Forte was enamored of playing under the franchise tag tender in 2012, and negotiations went down to the wire. Then Rice scored big with the Baltimore Ravens, getting $40 million for five years, while Forte took a fouryear, $32 million deal with the Chicago Bears. Also getting a longer contract just before the deadline was Jacksonville placekicker Josh Scobee, who will stay with the Jaguars for four years and $13.8 million. Rice led the NFL with 2,068 yards from scrimmage in making his second Pro Bowl. He helped the Ravens to their second AFC title game in his four pro seasons. “Ray has been an integral part of us earning the playoffs in each of his four seasons,” Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said. “His production on the field speaks for itself, and his leadership in the locker room is outstanding.” Although his numbers aren’t quite at Rice’s level, Forte is just as significant a contributor in Chicago’s offense. Had he stayed healthy in 2011, he might have matched Rice, too. Forte made the Pro Bowl for the first time, finishing with 1,487 yards from scrimmage, 997 rushing. He missed the final four games after spraining his right knee in a loss to Kansas City. The Bears lost all but one of those games, falling out of playoff contention. Each of them would have played for the $7.74 million franchise tag — the average of the five highest-paid players at running back — had they not gotten the new contracts. “I’m proud to be a Chicago Bear and excited to be here for another four years,” Forte said

Vilma asks for hearing NEW ORLEANS — Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma is asking a federal judge for a hearing Thursday on his bid to block his season-long suspension stemming from the NFL’s bounty investigation. In a court filing Monday, Vilma’s attorneys ask U.S. District Judge Helen “Ginger” Berrigan to hear their request for a temporary restraining order before the Saints’ training camp opens on July 23. Berrigan didn’t immediately rule on Vilma’s hearing request. Vilma has said his suspension is without merit and has accused NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell of damaging his reputation and irreparably harming his career. Vilma wants to attend training camp so he can continue receiving treatment for a knee injury. Vilma said in court papers Monday that he has resumed running for the first time in six months after being treated in early July by a doctor in Germany. Vilma said New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez told him about the doctor, whose procedure is not FDA-approved according to the doctor’s website, and so is not available in the United States. “For me to continue my progress, it is vital that my rehabilitation be carefully supervised,” Vilma said in an affidavit. “The Saints head trainer, Scottie Patton, is the person best qualified to help me make sure my ability to engage in my profession is back on track.

in a statement released by the Bears. “I’ve been working hard this offseason and am looking forward to joining my teammates at training camp next week. I’m glad the business part is done and we can all turn our attention to football and our goal of winning a championship.” Scobee’s tender would have been worth $2.88 million for 2012. His new deal is worth $3.45 million annually, with $4.75 million guaranteed. There are $400,000 worth of incentives Scobee could reach. Oakland’s Sebastian Janikowski ($4 million annually) and Phil Dawson ($3.81 million) are the only kickers scheduled to make more than Scobee in 2012. His new deal tops recent ones signed by Tampa Bay’s Connor Barth ($3.3 million) and Denver’s Matt Prater ($3.25 million), who both were franchised. Players who are stuck with their one-year tenders are Lions defensive end Cliff Avril, $10.6 million tender; Falcons cornerback Brent Grimes, $10.2 million; Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker and Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe, $9.5 million; Cowboys linebacker Anthony

Spencer, $8.8 million; 49ers safety Dashon Goldson, $6.2 million; Redskins tight end Fred Davis, $5.446 million; Browns placekicker Phil Dawson, $3.8 million; and Bengals PK Mike Nugent, one year, $2.6 million. None of them will be a pauper in 2012. Altogether, 12 players landed long-term contracts, led by the Saints giving quarterback Drew Brees the richest annual deal in NFL history. The 2011 Offensive Player of the Year signed a five-year, $100 million agreement; only Buffalo DE Mario Williams has gotten that much money, and his deal is for six years. Arizona DE Calais Campbell received the next most lucrative deal (five years, $55 million), followed by Eagles wideout DeSean Jackson (five years, $51 million). Colts defensive end Robert Mathis got a four-year, $36 million deal, with Titans safety Michael Griffin getting the same amount over five years. Raiders safety Tyvon Branch was next at four years, $26 million. Then came Scobee, Barth, Prater and Giants punter Steve Weatherford (five years, $12.75 million).

Drop in retail sales in June

B R I E F

State offices combined The Department of Labor & Industry operated State Workers’ Insurance Fund is consolidating the SWIF Claims Division and Field Operations Division into the Claims Services Division. Elizabeth Crum, deputy secretary for compensation and insurance, said the change will make the system more efficient. Employers will see no disruption in services. The consolidation will result in 24 staff furloughs across four offices, including the Lackawanna County office. Crum said affected employees have been notified and the state will assist them in finding new employment.

By DON LEE Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — Retail sales fell in June for the third straight month, knocking down economic growth projections for the second quarter and dimming the outlook for hiring in the near term. The 0.5 percent drop from May was broad-based; consumers pulled back on spending for cars, electronics, furniture, building materials and other goods, the Commerce Department reported Monday. The report surprised analysts, who were expecting a small increase in retail sales after two prior months of declines. It was the first time since the fall of 2008, when the recession was in full bloom, that retail sales fell three consecutive months. Consumer spending, which accounts for the majority of American economic activity, has weakened amid persistent worries about Europe’s debt crisis, slumping job growth at home and uncertainties about taxes and fiscal spending cuts. Some economic forecasters immediately shaved their projections for second-quarter economic growth closer to 1 percent, half of the annual pace posted in the first quarter. The anemic growth rate doesn’t bode well for job creation and the prospects for lowering the unemployment rate, which has been stuck at 8.2 percent the past two months. “Weaker demand will give businesses yet another reason to be cautious in their hiring,” said Scott Hoyt, an analyst at Moody’s Analytics, commenting in a research note on Monday’s retail sales numbers. Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi in New York, said three straight months of falling retail sales used to be seen as a signal of recession. But he said it wasn’t time to be panicking. For all of the second quarter, retail sales were down 0.8 percent, he said, following a 6.7 percent jump in the first quarter and an 8.8 percent increase in the fourth quarter of last year. “It is a slowdown, and may be nothing more,” Rupkey said in a note to clients. “A temporary setback.”

NBC, Microsoft split Microsoft is pulling out of the joint venture that owned MSNBC.com, freeing the world’s largest software maker to build its own online news service. The breakup announced late Sunday dissolves the final shreds of a 16-year marriage between Microsoft Corp. and NBC News, which is now owned by Comcast Corp. The relationship began to unwind in 2005 when Microsoft sold its stake in MSNBC’s cable TV channel to NBC. Terms of the deal weren’t revealed. The New York Times cited unnamed people knowledgeable about the deal who said Microsoft will receive about $300 million for in exchange for its 50 percent stake in the joint venture. MSNBC.com has been rebranded as NBCNews.com. Anyone typing MSNBC.com into a Web browser is now being automatically redirected to NBCNews.com.

A convention center is part of the project; complete details will be revealed Wednesday. Previously, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs CEO Bobby Soper said the at-

CalPERS earns only 1% The nation’s largest public pension fund reported a dismal 1 percent return on its investments, a figure far short of projections that will likely add pressure on California’s state and local governments to contribute more, officials said Monday. The California Public Employees’ Retirement System reported its returns for the fiscal year that ended June 30. The 1 percent return is well below its projected annual return of 7.5 percent. For the past five years, CalPERS earned just 0.1 percent. Over 20 years, it collected 7.73 percent.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Subprime lending is gaining steam again, although lenders are still largely steering clear of subprime mortgages, the disastrous home loans that triggered the nation’s housing collapse. Subprime credit cards and auto loans are both on the rise and some bank risk managers predict further increases in the $600 billion U.S. auto loan market, where lenders are loosening the purse strings and investors are interested in packages of auto loans to those with

The hotel, which has been discussed for several years, will make it a complete destination attraction and will allow the casino to draw visitors from a farther distance, Soper and local tourism officials have said.

tached 238-room hotel will stand seven-stories tall and will cost about $45 million. The casino will secure funding for the project and will operate it itself. There had been discussions previously about having an outside entity finance and build the hotel, with the casino leasing it back and operating it, but Soper said those plans have changed. The press conference will be held outside, weather permitting, at the site of the new hotel and event center, located adjacent to the valet parking area.

Today will make 12 days this summer with a high temperature at or above 90. The average for the season is around eight. Today will probably be our hottest day this week because thunderstorms arriving Wednesday will attend the passage of a cold front. Wednesday will also be our most humid day of the week with dew point temperatures up close to 70. Cooler and less humid conditions will arrive Thursday and Friday. Our rainfall since June 1 is now 2.64 inches below normal. The total amount so far this year is nearly 20 inches less than what I measured to this date last year. - Tom Clark

There are basics: When you’re communicating with an aging parent, turn off background distractions such as the TV. Schedule medical appointments for the mornings. Before you go, write down questions to ask the doctor. Plan an extra 30 minutes to your arrival and departure times. Try to connect new information and concepts to something with which your older parent will be familiar. Q: You cared for your mother. You

Basics on caring for the elderly

A survey by the MetLife Mature Market Institute shows that more than 10 million adults older than 50 are already caring for aging parents. It’s a new dimension, says Mary Speed, a New Orleans-based counselor and therapist. Her own experiences taking care of her mother caused Speed to set down some basics toward good caregiving.

Her book is called “Mixed Nuts,” because she grew up in an area with many varieties of nut trees. Q: What was your primary goal with this book? A: It’s a reminder to people who are not familiar with the nuances of caregiving to be sure to catch the cues, to be sure the person you are dealing with gets everything you are saying.

say she was scammed? A: She was 87. I want to stress the elderly do not want to be a burden. For that reason, they make an effort to “lighten your load” that can turn them into victims. After she died, we went through her belongings and found four insurance policies. She was scammed by companies who played off her fears of leaning too hard on our finances. Q: I like the way you relate the elderly to teenagers.

A: Well, when you’re 90 and you don’t want to eat, the conclusion is you have dementia. At 18, you’re in love. We have to stop our judgments of people. The elderly listen to the news, are politically astute, vote and pay attention to what’s going on. Tell them you are glad they are here. Have conversation. There’s more to caregiving than just clean underwear and meals. — MCT Information Services

Last drugs standing Key Alzheimer’s results coming soon

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer

e’re about to find out if there will be a way anytime soon to slow the course of Alzheimer’s disease. Results are due within a month or so from key studies of two drugs that aim to clear the sticky plaque gumming up patients’ brains. A pivotal study of a third drug will end later this year, and results from a small, early test of it will be reported next week at an Alzheimer’s conference in Vancouver, British Columbia. These three treatments are practically the “last men standing” in latestage trials, after more than a decade

Brush up on good dental habits By ALEXIA ELEJALDE-RUIZ Chicago Tribune

Pop quiz: How often should you floss? If you think twice a week sounds about right, you’re like most Americans surveyed in the American Dental Association’s first oral health quiz. And you’d be wrong, as they were, about that and many other dental basics, netting them the lowly grade of “D” on the quiz. “We’re hoping that this sets the low bar,” said Dr. Ada Cooper, a dentist in New York and an ADA spokeswoman. The ADA released the survey results alongside the launch of

companies may pull out of the field in frustration, leaving little hope for the millions of people with the disease. An estimated 35 million people worldwide have dementia, which includes Alzheimer’s. In the U.S., experts say about 5 million have Alzheimer’s. The three treatments being tested are not even drugs in the traditional, chemical sense. They are antibodies — proteins made by the immune system that promote clearance of amyloid, the stuff that forms the plaque. It’s a strategy with a checkered history, and scientists aren’t even sure

MITCHELL HECHT

Gastric bypass benefits offset alcoholism risks Q: I am seriously considering having gastric bypass surgery. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis and high cholesterol. So I know it’ll help improve my life. But I just read a story about gastric bypass patients being at increased risk of becoming an alcoholic. I don’t drink very much, so how worried should I be about it? — O.M., Tacoma, Wash. A: While you should be aware of it, your risk is very low since you’re not much of a drinker. A slightly higher rate of alcoholism observed in gastric bypass patients was reported in a University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health study just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. One aspect of their patient sample group which may have overstated the increased risk is that only 7.6 percent of the study subjects reported a prior history of alcohol abuse. That baseline number may actually be higher. In a 2007 study of nearly 45,000 people interviewed in a general population sampling, nearly 30 percent showed signs of alcohol abuse. After surgery, 9.6 percent of the bariatric surgery patients in the Pittsburgh study had an alcohol problem. There is a plausible reason for the slightly higher rate of alcoholism. Gastric bypass increases sensitivity to alcohol because the alcohol mostly bypasses the stomach to get absorbed by the intestines into the bloodstream. The faster a drug hits the brain receptors, the greater the addiction risk. That said, bariatric surgery is the most successful treatment for achieving substantial weight loss. It’s been shown to reverse risk factors for heart disease, reverse adult-onset diabetes, correct cholesterol disorders and normalize blood pressure. Q: This past July 4th, I watched Nathan’s hot dog eating contest on TV where the winner (for the 6th time), Joey Chestnut ate an incredible 68 hot dogs in 10 minutes! How can someone eat that much? —V.P., Blue Bell, Pa. A: The stomach is a muscular sac, and like the urinary bladder, it can be stretched way beyond its normal capacity with a lot of willpower and determination. Normally, there’s a sense of fullness where you “just can’t eat another bite.” People who eat huge quantities of food for “sport” have learned to ignore the signals that prevent engorgement, stretching their stomach walls to the limits of its capacity. That capacity for most people is about 32 ounces, but these “super gurgitators” can stretch their stomachs to over a gallon. One’s size does not predict eating ability.

that amyloid causes Alzheimer’s or that removing it will do any good in people who already have symptoms. But there are some hopeful signs they may be on the right track. “Everybody in the field is probably holding their breath that there is something positive to come out of these trials,” said Dr. Ronald Petersen, director of the Mayo Clinic’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. “It may not be a home run” in terms of improving memory and cognition, but if brain imaging or spinal fluid tests show the drugs are hitting their target, “they will be regarded as successes,” he said. William Thies, scientific director of the Alzheimer’s Association, agreed. Even if there is just a small effect, “that would be a huge finding because that would let you know you had a drug that worked,” he said. It then could be tried as a preventive medicine or given earlier in the course of the disease when it may have more impact. The three drugs and their developers are: • Bapineuzumab (bap-ihNOOZ-uh-mab), by Pfizer Inc. and Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen Alzheimer Immunotherapy unit. • Solanezumab (sol-ah-NAYZuh-mab), by Eli Lilly & Co. • Gammagard, by Baxter Inter-

Vigilance about the state of your mouth and small habit changes can go a long way toward preventing tooth decay and catching a problem before it becomes more costly, Cooper said. Nine out of 10 adults ages 20 to 64 have had cavities in their permanent teeth, and dental disease is the most common chronic disease

national Inc. All are given as periodic intravenous infusions; some companies are trying to reformulate them so they could be given as shots. If a major study shows that one of the drugs works, there will be a huge effort to make it more convenient and practical, Thies predicted. Still, it would probably be very expensive. The first two on the list are lab-

made, single antibodies against amyloid. Gammagard is intravenous immune globulin, or IVIG — multiple, natural antibodies culled from blood. Half a dozen companies already sell IVIG to treat immune system and blood disorders. It takes 130 plasma donations to make enough to treat one patient for a year. Treating Alzheimer’s with IVIG would cost $2,000 to $5,000 every

two weeks, depending on the patient’s weight, said Dr. Norman Relkin, head of a memory disorders program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. He consults for some drugmakers and has patents for tests that measure amyloid. Relkin is also leading a latestage, 400-patient study of Gammagard that will wrap up late this year. A much smaller, earlier study he led showed less brain shrinkage among people receiving the drug than among those getting dummy infusions. “It was so startling that I sent it to two laboratories for independent verification,” Relkin said. Next week, at the International Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease in Canada, Relkin will give a three-year progress report on 16 patients out of the original 24 enrolled in that earlier study. Jason Marder is among them. The New York City man, who turned 70 on Tuesday, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s more than eight years ago. “It was devastating,” said his wife, Karin Marder. “I thought, ‘Our life is over together as a couple.’ But in fact it really has not

suffered by children, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research. Twenty-four percent of adults have untreated cavities in their mouths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among children ages 6 to19, it’s16 percent. Here are some common misconceptions people have about their teeth, according to the ADA’s survey of 1,500 adults, which was conducted in May. Survey says: 90 percent of respondents believe they should

brush after every meal. ADA says: Brush only twice a day. Survey says: 65 percent of respondents believe they should replace their toothbrush twice a year. ADA says: Replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed. Survey says: 75 percent of respondents don’t know what age to take their child to the dentist for the first time. ADA says: A child’s first trip to

the dentist should be within six monthsafterthefirsttoothappears or no later than the child’s first birthday. Survey says: 81 percent of respondents think that sugar causes cavities. ADA says: Cavities are caused by germs in the mouth that feed on sugar and then produce acid which attacks tooth enamel. In time, the acid attacks weaken the enamel to the point where a cavity forms. Survey says: 59 percent of respondents don’t realize cavity-

been, and I have to attribute this really to the clinical trial.” In the roughly five years that her husband has taken Gammagard, there has been decline in his health, but it is minimal and the kind of slowing down you might expect from ordinary aging, she said. “He travels the subways, he does things that you and I do. And our quality of life together is what’s most important,” she said. Jason Marder said he takes a creative writing class, runs errands for his wife and bikes around the city. As for his disease, “I fight it as much as I can,” he said. “I feel I can handle it.” It’s impossible to say how Marder would have fared without the treatment. Some patients decline rapidly, while others not for years. Hard evidence comes from large studies like the one that will conclude later this year, in which a group of patients getting the treatment is compared with a similar group given dummy infusions. Studies on the two other drugs already have ended and results are being analyzed. The main outcome is likely to be announced by the companies as soon as it is known, and detailed results are to be presented at scientific conferences in October. Bapineuzumab is one of the largest bets ever placed in the field of Alzheimer’s disease. More than 4,000 patients are participating in four studies around the world — two in people with a gene that raises the risk of Alzheimer’s and two in people who don’t carry that gene.

The studies, which started enrolling patients in 2007, involve brain scans every few months. “That’s enormously expensive and time-consuming,” said Dr. Eric Yuen, head of clinical development for Janssen. These experiments are just now yielding results. Concern arose when an earlier study found possible bleeding or brain abnormalities in up to10 percent of patients on the drug. However, most had no symptoms and were able to resume treatment after a brief break, Yuen said. In fact, some researchers think these changes might be a sign the drug is working to clear the amyloid plaque. The fact that independent monitors have not stopped the new studies has made Dr. Reisa Sperling optimistic the drug will prove to be safe. Director of the Alzheimer’s center at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, she has consulted for Janssen and Pfizer and enrolled patients in the studies. Relkin, who is leading the Gammagard study, said that if all three of these drugs fail, “we’re in trouble.” There hasn’t been a new drug even to help symptoms in nine years, he said. Petersen of the Mayo Clinic agrees. “If they’re dead-flat negative, the impact on the field and the implication for Big Pharma could be huge,” he said. Companies “may bail” from the field entirely. “They may just say, ‘This nut is too tough to crack.”’

causing germs can be passed from person to person. ADA says: Yes, they can. Parents and caregivers can pass bacteria that cause cavities to their children by pre-chewing food, sharing utensils or licking a pacifier to clean it. Survey says: 53 percent of respondents think you should floss twice a week. ADA says: Floss once a day. Tooth brushing doesn’t clean be-

tween the teeth so germs can grow there and cause tooth decay and gum disease. Survey says: 67 percent of respondents think refined sugars are more harmful to teeth than natural sugars. ADA says: All sugar can promote tooth decay. The frequency of exposure, such as sipping any kind of sugary beverage, increases decay risk.

New health issues tied to low-level lead exposure

By TIMOTHY B. WHEELER The Baltimore Sun

Andre Castro leads the efforts of educating students about teen pregnancy at Meadow Creek High School in Norcross, Ga. While teen pregnancy rates have dropped, officials fear they could rise again if tight education budgets cause a cut in prevention programs.

Progress on teen pregnancy could be lost By EDWARD MITCHELL

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

TLANTA — Andre Castro still remembers the days when teen pregnancy seemed an unsolvable problem. Young people were having unprotected sex at increasingly early ages. Pregnancy rates were rising across the country. Community leaders were frozen, debating the wisdom of abstinence-only education versus early childhood sex education. But those days are long gone, said Castro, the director of Adolescent Health and Youth Development Programs for Gwinnett County’s health department. Since 2005 at Meadowcreek High School, Castro has overseen a health program that exposed all students to both abstinence and sex education, as well as targeted counseling. “Every student who entered Meadowcreek in ninth grade was touched by the program, and this is our second or third year with no new teen pregnancies,” he said. Meadowcreek is not a wholly unusual success story. In communities nationwide, the tide has turned against teenage pregnancy, said Bill Albert, an official at the National Cam-

paign to Prevent Teen & Unplanned Pregnancy. “The decline ... has been nothing short of extraordinary,” he said. “We have seen more than a 40 percent decline in teen pregnancy and birth rates. We’ve seen declines in all 50 states and all age and ethnic groups.” But teenage pregnancy remains a significant problem. What’s more: Some fear the progress, much of it sparked in the classroom, could be lost because of school budget cuts. “Without the funding to provide comprehensive health and improved sex ed curricula in schools, and without access to affordable, teen-friendly health services, many of our young people won’t have access to the important information and ser-

vices they need,” said Vikki Millender-Morrow, president of the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention. School budget cuts may limit the reach of educational drives going forward. “Schools are strapped for funds, so who’s going to pay for teachers to be educated or for other health professionals to come into the school system?” Millender-Morrow asked. Castro has already seen the effects of budget cuts. “I started out as one-man operation, and I’m back down to a one-man operation,” he said. “The lack of funding could result in rising teen pregnancy rates.” Just as worrisome as the possibility of more teens becoming pregnant is the fear that teens who are already pregnant will drop out of school. According to a report released in June by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen & Unplanned Pregnancy, teen pregnancy increases school dropout rates. The report listed Gwinnett and DeKalb counties in Georgia as districts where teen pregnancy rates have harmed graduation rates. “There really is a link between teen pregnancy and high school dropouts,” MillenderMorrow said. “It is the Number

One reason that girls drop out of high school.” At Meadowcreek, Castro sought to keep teen parents in school by hiring caseworkers to assist them with day care, and making up class credits. “Those students ended up a year behind, but they graduated,” he said. But budget cuts could make similar efforts financially infeasible going forward. Parents may have to take the lead in the struggle against teen pregnancy, said social worker and one-time teen mom Christy Ware, who now works with pregnant teens. “We need to hold parents more accountable,” she said. “The state offers so many things, but if we don’t change the (family) environment, we’re not changing anything.” That is one way to keep making progress, Castro said. “We’re going to have to approach this as a community, and not as separate institutions. All of us — parents, religious institutions, schools, public health agencies — have to come together to develop things that will meet (youth) needs, as opposed to what we think they need.”

sizzle!

BALTIMORE - Despite dramatic progress in reducing Americans’ exposure to lead over the past 25 years, a growing body of research finds that children and adults still face health risks from even very low levels of the toxic metal in their blood. A recent government study, prepared with help of researchers from Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health, tallies the wide-ranging damage low-level lead exposure can do, beyond the well-documented effects of reducing youngsters’ IQ and undermining their ability to learn and control their behavior. Hearing and even the onset of puberty may be affected in children, while in adults, kidneys and blood pressure may be harmed. “There does not appear to be a really safe level of lead exposure,” said Andrew A. Rooney, a senior health scientist with the National Toxicology Program who coordinated the review of existing research. “The best course of action,” he added, “is to eliminate all lead exposure from our environment.” Mounting evidence that children can experience learning and behavior problems from low-level lead exposure prompted the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month to cut in half the level of lead in young children’s blood at which health authorities are urged to intervene. For more than 20 years, the “level of concern” in young children had been 10 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood. Declaring there is no safety threshold for the metal, the CDC set a new “reference level” of 5 micrograms per deciliter. In Maryland, that change is expected to multiply the number of youngsters deemed in need of help, even after the state experienced a 98 percent reduction in childhood lead poisoning cases. But the federal study found scientific evidence of other harmful health effects, besides those related to learning and behavior, at those low levels. Children were found to be at greater risk of delayed puberty, reduced growth and hearing deficit when the lead levels in their bloodstream were at or below 10

micrograms per deciliter. The study also found adults had increased blood pressure and greater risk of hypertension at similar lead levels. But at even lower levels — 5 micrograms per deciliter or less — the study found evidence of reduced kidney function in adults, as well as reduced fetal growth and lower birth weights in pregnant women. Rooney said the National Toxicology Program launched its review at the request of the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, which was concerned about lead’s reproductive effects on pregnant workers. The current workplace exposure limit for lead is 50 micrograms per cubic meter in the air. But the federal research team and a group of independent scientists serving as technical advisors chose to broaden the study to look at all documental health effects from low levels of lead. In some areas, the report concluded that there was only limited research to date linking lowlevel lead exposure with cardiovascular disease. While researchers agreed increased blood pressure and hypertension may result, they were split on whether lead could be tied to increased heart attack deaths. “The evidence, I would say, is growing,” said Dr. Ana NavasAcien, associate professor at Hopkins’ School of Public Health and one of the technical advisors for the federal study. In addition to the risks of heart attack death, she said, there’s some research linking low-level lead exposure to peripheral arterial disease, in which it becomes painful to walk or stand. While there are few clear remedies for low-level exposure, Navas-Acien said her research suggests there is one underappreciated source of lead that could be reduced - secondhand smoke. Lead is taken up by tobacco leaves and then inhaled with the smoke from cigarettes. In cases where children test positive for low levels of lead in their blood, she said, “it will be really important to assess if there are smokers in the house of that child. If they could quit, that would be ideal. But even if they can’t quit, don’t do it in the house or don’t smoke when the child is around.”

Dr. Pierce Vatterott, center, watched a monitor during the removal of four defibrillator leads from a patient at United Hospital in St. Paul, Minn. GlideLight, made by Colorado Springs-based Spectranetics and recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, helps make the lead extractions easier.

a senior consulting cardiologist at the Minneapolis Heart Institute at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. “It should be done only by highly experienced physicians and their teams in hospitals equipped for emergency surgery.” Vatterott and his team at United Heart and Vascular Clinic at United Hospital fit the bill. They have done about 2,000 lead extractions over the years and were the first to use the new GlideLight device in Minnesota. The doctor said they are doing one to two lead extractions each week. GlideLight is also being used at Abbott Northwestern. “There are studies out there that show the more (extractions) you do, the less complications you have,” Vatterott said. “So much depends on the experience of the doctor and the team. And it’s really the team. Every person in that room has saved me or saved the patient at some point.” Kurt Riebe, 84, and his wife,

Lorraine, will celebrate 63 years of marriage in August. Lorraine calls it “a nice start.” The North St. Paul, Minn., couple has every intention of celebrating many anniversaries to come. So when they learned that Riebe had an infection around his defibrillator-pacemaker, the decision was made to take out the device and the four leads that had been implanted and replace them. It would not be easy, Vatterott said. Riebe is frail. But on Monday of last week, the GlideLight made it easier. Not that a five-hour procedure, with Vatterott and his nurses monitoring blood pressure, watching multiple monitors, cutting out infected tissue, cauterizing blood vessels and snaking wires and something that looks like a laser-tipped black soda straw into the heart can be called easy. It took two hours just to do the prep work to get the leads ready

for removal. As he worked, Vatterott praised his team time and again, pointing out that each has 15 to 20 years of experience. First, they worked to clear the “pocket” where the defibrillator was located. Then they disconnected the wires from the device, temporarily hooking up Riebe to an external pacemaker. Then, the doctor slid the GlideLight over the first lead, snaking it down the vein into Riebe’s heart. Along the way, the device made a clicking sound as the laser cut through the scar tissue that blocked its path. Once clear, the doctor slowly pulled out the lead before removing the sheath. Then, it was on to the second lead. Then the third. Then the fourth. During the entire procedure, a surgical team was standing by to assist if a complication arose. One never did. By the end of the week, Riebe was home and doing well.

MINNEAPOLIS - Dr. Pierce Vatterott and his team of nurses and technicians worked smoothly and efficiently in the chilly catheter lab at St. Paul’s United Hospital. It was complex and potentially risky work, removing four leads - wires that connect a defibrillator to the heart - from an 84-year-old man. But Vatterott and his team are experienced hands and they had a new tool, to boot, a laser sheath that more quickly and easily cuts through scar tissue to free the wires. Millions of people need defibrillators and pacemakers to keep them alive. The wires that lead to those devices sometimes need to be replaced because of age or defect. But one wrong move when extracting a lead can leave a piece of the wire behind or, worse, perforate the heart or blood vessel. So anything that makes lead extraction safer is a good thing, Vatterott said. “It has helped,” he said of the GlideLight, made by Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Spectranetics and recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. “It has definitely helped.” Potentially dangerous problems in the past five years with leads made by Medtronic Inc. and, most recently, St. Jude Medical Inc., have left tens of thousands of people facing difficult choices. Do they thread new leads through the same vein to the heart, but leave the old ones disconnected - in place? Or do they pull them out entirely? Sometimes, the congestion of too many wires in the vein can block blood flow. One lead rubbing against another also can cause inappropriate shocking. If a lead becomes infected, it has to come out. “The extraction of leads that have been implanted in patients for years is one of the most complex procedures cardiologists perform,” said Dr. Robert Hauser,

TUESDAY, JULY 17, 2012 PAGE 7C

Neighbors must stick together in order to confront troublesome family Dear Abby: In our condominium complex, there is one family who are disrespectful to everyone. “Sasha” allows her 11-year-old son, “Travis,” to damage people’s property, lie, steal, harass neighbors, make threats and make a lot of noise. The police have been called many times. I have been told Sasha has physically attacked at least two women here, and some residents say her former husband warned them that she is violent. When neighbors approached Sasha, she said her son is only “having fun” and she accused us of being racist. We feel she is using race to deflect from her poor behavior.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE We believe the condo association or management company is either weak or afraid to do anything about this. The situation is unbearable. Her son harasses senior citizens here, too. Please advise us, but do not reveal my name or location because I am afraid of retaliation. — Begging For Help Dear Begging: No one should have to live under such intimidating and potentially violent circumstances. Because you have been warned about Sasha’s behavior, do not confront her yourself.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Speak to the condo association board and/or management company, tell them the conditions you are living under are intolerable, and that they MUST speak to the woman about her and her son’s behavior. There is strength in numbers, so go as a group to the next homeowner’s meeting. If you own the condo, you have the ability to vote the members of the board out of office and elect officers who will take responsibility for improving your living conditions. Resolving this may involve the help of an attorney. And because the police are already aware of this family’s history, you may be able to get a restraining order. Dear Abby: I have been living with “Daryl” for more than three years. I

CRYPTOQUOTE

am 25; Daryl is 27. He seemed very committed and affectionate, and he’s hardworking and well-educated, so I thought we had everything. He promised me seven months ago that we would get engaged. We looked at rings together, and he told me I should leave the rest to him. Because it has been seven months and I still don’t have a ring, I confronted him. Now he says that he “isn’t ready,” and he isn’t even sure I’m the woman he is going to marry! He says he doesn’t want to make any promises. He also says he loves me and doesn’t want me to move out or break up with him. He is willing to set up a spare bedroom for himself so we can have our space. Abby, I feel betrayed. I was waiting for the ring and now it isn’t coming.

Should I move out? — Ringless in Brighton, Mass. Dear Ringless: Yes. The ring isn’t what’s important, but what the ring symbolizes is. If after three years of living together your boyfriend still isn’t able to decide whether you’re the woman he’s going to marry, it appears that he’s not as committed as you thought. If marriage is what you want, the time has indeed come to move out. It is also time to move on with your life. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You never know how badly you wanted to unburden your soul until it’s done. Feelings have a way of flying from your lips. You’ll say what you never meant to say and be so glad you did. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). During the time of the Cancer sun, it’s important to remember that home is a community of sorts. Your expression of love is closely tied to the way you express yourself in the domestic environment. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You could argue that “your heart isn’t in it,” although no one would listen to such an argument. There are very few who know how to put their heart into the task at hand, and the ones who do are quite busy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). All of the rules of social conduct apply. If you think it’s too late to call someone, it probably is. Bad behavior breeds more of the same. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Letting others entertain you is fun, but it’s your own impetus that will bring you the most joy. Fly the kite of your imagination. It will take you to surprising places now. Also, it’s much cheaper than other forms of travel. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may feel compelled to connect to others only when you have a fair understanding of where the connection might lead. Having control over what happens will seem crucial, though it may not actually be crucial. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you want to remember what you did

and what happened to you in your lifetime, you are halfway to immortality. The other half is making sure to take pictures and write notes. These are good times. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The one you admire is in awe of you, as well. Keep in mind, though, that everyone has a different way of showing feelings. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even though you always learn more by losing than you learn by winning, every time you win there’s something in you that bursts alive. Play short games, and you’ll handle both winning and losing gracefully today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The one who helped you in your time of need also helped you in your time of not needing. The latter help is most rare and should have more weight in your scorekeeping — if indeed you happen to be keeping score. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Love at first glance is more common than people think. What’s harder to understand is how people stay in love after years of gazing upon the same face. That’s the kind of love you want in your life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A frugal approach in all you do will serve you well today. For instance, go for the basic suit. It’s a better value than all of the pricey accessories that go along with it. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 17). In the next 10 weeks, you’ll make a move you’ve been wanting to make for a very long time. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 24, 38, 28 and 17.
