Luzerne County Controller Steve Flood holds a hearing in the county commissioners meeting room to discuss county government misspending in 2005.

Ex-controller seen as exposing corruption By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Steve Flood is viewed by many as a local legend for exposing corruption in Luzerne County government, but it’s unclear if he registered that praise before his death. The 67-year-old Dorrance Township resident died in his sleep Saturday after suffering a second stroke, said Heather Paulhamus, his partner and guardian. A previous 2007 stroke hampered

Flood’s ability to speak and communicate, though Paulhamus and Flood’s friend, county Commissioner Stephen A. Urban, both believe he understood what was happening in county government. Many credit him for sparking the federal investigation that led to charges against former county judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan and others, but he was often portrayed as a loose cannon when he was in office for

Studies show cyber schools not making grade Editor’s note: Second of a two-part series exploring the impact of cyber charter schools on public education.

Just four of the 11 schools met the standard set by the state. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

Every school district in Luzerne County reached a key state benchmark that measures school performance in the 2009-10 school year, but the news was not nearly as good for the 11 charter cyber schools operating in Pennsylvania. Just four of the 11 schools met the

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WEEK

>> A REALLY COOL MOVIE: They don’t call them the lazy days of summer for nothing. This week is shaping up to be a hot one – Africa hot. With temperatures creeping up into the mid 90s, it might be a good time to sit in some cool air conditioning and enjoy a quality flick at home. And, why not make that flick the 1986 blockbuster “Aliens?” Why? Well, today marks the 25th anniversary of the film’s release. It’s a stretch, to be sure, but it IS a really good movie and what else are you gonna do? Watch “The Bachelorette?”

INSIDE: School districts are looking into their own cyber programs, Page 9A.

Three cyber schools – Agora Cyber, PA Learners Online Regional Cyber and Pennsylvania Distance Learning - have not made the AYP for five years straight. Another three – Achievement House, Pennsylvania Leadership and Commonwealth Connections Academy – have made the AYP only once in five years. Most local school districts, meanwhile, have consistently reached the

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) standard set by the state, which measures the performance of school districts and individual schools based on graduation rates, attendance and standardized tests scores across grade levels. The news hasn’t been much better for many of the cyber schools in the previous four school years either. See CYBER, Page 9A

>> NICE PARTING GIFTS: Time was, when a contestant lost on a game show, they got a nice case of Turtle Wax, a home copy of the game and a hearty handshake from Gene Rayburn or Wink Martindale. Well, not anymore. The ABC show “101 Ways To Leave A Game Show” (9 p.m., Tuesday) catapults contestants into the air, blows them up or throws them out a window. Case in point, this week’s episode is entitled, “Indiana Jeff and the Temple of Boom.” OK, then. >> HOME COOKING: The Scranton/

Wilkes-Barre Yankees sandwich in a little homestand this week between two long road trips. The team starts a four-game series with Syracuse this Thursday at PNC Field. Yankee fans can go and root for the home team. Washington National fans can go and cheer on Syracuse. Phillies fans … well, they can reminisce about when the Red Barons roamed the field up in Moosic.

Obama had given congressional leaders until this weekend to return from their party caucuses with components of a debt-reduction plan they could support. House Speaker John Boehner’s office said there was nothing new to report. “Meetings have been occurring, ideas are being exchanged and scenarios are being discussed,” said Boehner’s spokesman, Michael Steel. “We are keepSee DEBT, Page 2A

>> THERE’S NO NEED TO FEAR …: Are you ready

for ANOTHER comic book-inspired movie? Just nod and say, “yes,” because Hollywood sure thinks we are. And they’re rolling out “Captain America: The First Avenger” this Friday just for us. It is a slightly different superhero movie as it’s set in World War II. And this year’s comic book flicks have been pretty good so far. Well, except for “The Green Lantern.” It might be worth a look.

Last film in series eclipses records set by “Dark Night,” “Pirates of Caribbean.”

By DAVID GERMAIN AP Movie Writer

LOS ANGELES — The boy wizard has vanquished the dark knight and a band of pirates with a record-setting magic act at both the domestic and international box office. Warner Bros. estimates that “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” took in $168.6 million domestically from Friday to Sunday. That beats the previous best opening weekend of $158.4 million, also held by Warner Bros. for 2008’s Batman blockbuster “The Dark Knight.” Overseas, the film added $307 million in 59 countries since it began rolling out Wednesday, topping the previous best international debut of $260.4 million set in May by Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” International results for “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” included record openings in Great Britain at $36.6 million and Australia at $26.7 million, according to Warner Bros. Worldwide, “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” topped $475 million in a matter of days, putting it on course to become the franchise’s first billion-dollar worldwide hit. “This will be the biggest ‘Harry Potter’ by far,” said Dan Fellman, head of domestic distribution at Warner Bros. “A billion dollars is definitely going to happen.” The current franchise high is $974.8 million worldwide for the first film, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” 10 years ago. “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” does have the advantage of 3-D screenings, which cost a few dollars more than 2-D shows. Because of the higher 3-D price, plus regular inflation, “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” sold fewer tickets but took in more money than “The Dark Knight” over opening weekend. Overall domestic revenue for the weekend totaled $263 million, a record for a non-holiday weekend, according to box-office tracker Hollywood.com. The “Harry Potter” finale also set a record for best opening day domestically Friday with $92.1 million, nearly $20 million ahead of the previous high for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” two years ago. Other records for “Deathly Hallows: Part 2”: best domestic gross for debut midnight shows at $43.5 million, topping the $30 million for last year’s “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”; best domestic opening in huge-screen IMAX theaters with $15.5 million, surpassing the $12.2 million for last year’s “Alice in Wonderland”; and best worldwide IMAX debut with $23.5 million, beating the $20.4 million for “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” two weeks ago. “This is just really a monumental event,” said Hollywood.com analyst Paul Dergarabedian. “The 3-D component, plus the IMAX, plus it being the last ‘Harry Potter,’ it was just this convergence of things that created this incredible record.” Paramount’s third “Transformers” blockbuster, which had been No. 1 the previous two weekends, slipped to secondplace with $21.3 million domestically. It remains the year’s top domestic hit with $302.8 million. The latest “Transformers” added $39 million overseas, bringing its international haul to $460 million and worldwide total to $762.8 million. Among this year’s releases, that’s second only to “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” at $1.03 billion. The weekend’s other new wide release, Disney’s animated family flick “Winnie the Pooh,” got swamped by “Harry Potter” mania. A return to the hand-drawn animation style of earlier adaptations of A.A. Milne’s beloved storybook characters, “Winnie the Pooh” pulled in just $8 million domestically, finishing at No. 6.

DETAILS

AMANDA HRYCYNA/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

Hanover Township police are investigating a two-car crash that occurred around 7:50 p.m. Sunday on the Sans Souci Parkway across from A. Rifkin Co. Police said the driver of the vehicle on its roof lost control as he was traveling toward Wilkes-Barre and crossed into the oncoming lanes where another car traveling toward Nanticoke tried to avoid colliding with it. Police said they will ask that a blood alcohol test be done on the driver of the car that landed on its roof. He and the man and woman in the other car were transported by ambulance to the hospital for treatment. Their identities and conditions were not available.

POLICE BLOTTER PLAINS TWP. – Township police reported the following: • Jaden Auto Works at 1461 N. River St. reported that four Falken Z1EX tires and four Enkei rims were stolen from a 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse parked on the property overnight Friday into Saturday. • Residents at 1 and 11 Cedar Rd. reported that eggs were thrown on their driveways overnight Friday into Saturday. • Two vehicles were broken into Friday afternoon while parked near the Seven Tubs Nature Area along state Route 115. Jessica Niemiec of Laflin said that a window was smashed on her Toyota Rav 4 and a purse belonging to her relative was stolen. The purse contained cash, jewelry, a cell phone and miscellaneous items. Kimberly Klick of WilkesBarre said a window was smashed on her Ford Escape and a purse containing credit cards and miscellaneous documents was stolen. • James Konicki of Bear Creek will be issued a citation for harassment after his exgirlfriend Gianna Handza of Plains Township claimed that he allegedly pushed her, grabbed her neck and twisted her arm around 10 p.m. Friday at the Woodlands Inn and Resort. • Police responded to a report of a fight involving approximately 15 people around 2:35 a.m. Saturday outside the Itlo Club on Chamberlain Street. Police said they determined that several people were arguing inside and fought when they left the club. No charges were filed

ing the lines of communication open with all parties.” GOP leaders have begun preparing their members for a compromise to achieve a midsized debt-reduction deal before Aug. 2, when the nation is expected to run out of money to pay all its bills if the debt ceiling remains at $14.3 trillion. Federal Reserve Board ChairmanBenS.Bernankewarnedlast week that failure to raise the ceiling would cause “a very severe financial shock” to the global economy. Republicans have refused to consider new taxes on wealthy Americans, ending hopes for a proposed comprehensive deficitreduction package worth more than $4 trillion in savings over 10 years, which Obama had sought. Both the House and Senate face several symbolic votes this week that will provide political cover for some lawmakers but are unlikely to resolve the standoff.

HAZLE TWP. – State police arrested Joshua Allen Wagner, 21, of Fern Glen, after he allegedly pulled a knife and cut a 17-year-old juvenile defending himself from the attack Saturday afternoon at a pool party at the Ramada Inn along state Route 309. Wagner was intoxicated when he arrived at the hotel around 6 p.m. and the juvenile and another male tried to remove him from the party, state police said.

WILKES-BARRE – City police reported the following: • Yalelet Fikre of the Sherman Hills Apartments said three males entered his apartment early Sunday morning and one of them was armed with a pistol grip shotgun. Fikre said the males’ faces

were covered and that they did not take anything. He was not injured. Police said one of the suspects, a black male, wore a red shirt and another black male wore a white and black shirt. Police said they found a red shirt and a yellow shirt as well as an Airsoft shotgun that shoots plastic pellets near an exit door. • Craig Fealy of Wilkes-Barre was issued a citation for harassment Sunday morning after Laura Lock, also of WilkesBarre, said he shook and choked her at a residence on West River Street. • Thomas J. Gushanas II of Wilkes-Barre was charged with driving under the influence early Sunday after police said they found him passed out behind the wheel of a Ford F-150 pickup truck at the intersection of South Pennsylvania Avenue and East Ross Street. • Police responded to a report of a man trying to enter Rocco’s Tires on Hazle Avenue early Sunday morning through a side window. When they arrived around 1:05 a.m. they found a smashed window, but could not locate anyone in the business. • Mark Knapick, 19, of Shamokin, was charged with public drunkenness Sunday morning after he was intoxicated in the area of South River and West Northampton streets. • Carnell Kline of South Grant Street said a building on Sambourne Street was broken into on Thursday and copper pipe and a water meter were taken. • Daryl Benn of Nuangola said Sunday that keys and a cell phone were stolen from his Jeep while it was parked on Plymouth Avenue.

The House will vote Tuesday on legislation engineered by its Republican majority that would exchange a debt-ceiling increase for deep spending cuts across the federal government in current and future years. The measure is not expected to become law, but the vote is important to the right flank that drives the House GOP majority and that is most resistant to raising the debt ceiling. The so-called cut-cap-balance proposal would slash more than $110 billion in fiscal 2012, cap future spending, and require congressional passage of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution that would be sent to the states for the lengthy ratification process. The Senate also is expected to vote midweek on a series of balanced-budget amendments. None are expected to win the two-thirds majority required for passage. Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said the cut-cap-balance proposal was “hardly a radical idea.” “The fact is, Republicans and Democrats have been irrespon-

sible,” DeMint said on “Meet the Press.” “They’ve brought our debt to the point where we literally can’t borrow much more money without bankrupting our country.” Others warned, however, that time was running out to find a solution. The Senate could begin to consider a compromise package by late Wednesday. But the legislative process would require at least a week to surmount an expected filibuster from opponents. To prepare for the politically difficult period ahead, GOP leaders arranged a frank session with rank-and-file members Friday. Budget experts outlined the fiscal upheaval that would occur if the government stopped paying its bills. Failure to pay the debt would upend financial markets, experts said. Soaring interest rates would hurt not only the government but ordinary Americans seeking mortgages or other loans, including for purchasing cars or attending college. Top credit-ranking agencies have

warned that federal bonds may be downgraded if Washington fails to act. The lower the bond rating, the higher the borrowing cost. Some GOP lawmakers acknowledged the steep education campaign they must begin with voters in their districts and home states. Americans are broadly divided on the issue. Recent opinion surveys suggest about 47 percent of those polled said their greater concern is that raising the debt limit would lead to more government spending, while 42 percent said they were more concerned that a government default would cripple the economy. Republicans have largely dismissed a compromise proposal from Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the GOP leader, to allow Obama to raise the debt limit after Congress took a series of votes to reject new borrowing. But McConnell and Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., the majority leader, have been drafting an alternative that would also force spending cuts and establish a committee to outline future cuts.

and no one required medical treatment at the scene. • Thomas Kovalick of Cotton Avenue reported landscape lights were pulled out of the ground and an Echo Oregon chainsaw valued at approximately $200 was stolen from a shed overnight Friday into Saturday. • Rafael Mora-Polanco, 22, of North Laurel Street, Hazleton, faces a number of charges after police said he assaulted a bathroom attendant and attempted to assault security personnel early Sunday at the Woodlands Inn and Resort. Mora-Polanco also attempted to assault police who responded to the scene, police said. He was arrested and refused to get out of the patrol car at police headquarters, kicking two officers and biting another one on the wrist, police said. The officer who suffered the alleged bite was treated and released from Geisinger Wyoming Valley medical center. Mora-Polanco was charged with simple assault, aggravated assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and harassment. He was arraigned and committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $5,000 bail.

Wagner pulled a folding knife and swung it at the juvenile, who blocked his face with his hands, state police said. The juvenile was cut on his left hand and was treated at the scene by medical personnel. Wagner fled but was later apprehended along Route 309, state police said. He was charged with aggravated assault and other charges and arraigned by District Judge Daniel O’Donnell in Sugarloaf. Wagner was committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $50,000 bail. WEST HAZLETON – A couple and their 13-year-old daughter were injured Saturday afternoon when a mixture of pool chemicals exploded in their kitchen. Karen Kaschak, 45, of West Green Street and her daughter, Rebecca, suffered chemical burns to their face, arms, legs and chest. They were treated and released from Hazleton General Hospital, said Bob Ward, West Hazleton fire chief. James Kaschak, 50, who entered the house to help his wife and daughter, suffered respiratory injuries and was released from Hazleton General on Sunday, said Ward. The fire chief said the family is not yet able to return to their house until a hazardous materials company completes a cleanup from the chemicals.

No player matched all five winning numbers drawn in Sunday’s “Pennsylvania Cash 5” game so the jackpot will be worth $225,000. Lottery officials said 53 players matched four numbers and won $238 each; 2,039 players matched three numbers and won $10 each; and 24,234 players matched two numbers and won $1 each. •None of the tickets sold for the Powerball game Saturday evening matched all six numbers drawn, which were: 24-28-48-50-54 Powerball: 25 Power Play: 3 Players matching all five numbers and the Powerball would have won or shared the $61 million jackpot. The prize goes to an estimated $76 million for Wednesday. Tickets that match the first five numbers, but miss the Powerball, win $200,000 each, and there were two of those. They were sold in: North Carolina (1) and New Jersey(1).

Taking Flight during medical emergencies Geisinger celebrates 30th anniversary of medical chopper with open house. By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. -- It’s rare that people have a chance to actually see hours and hours of hard work come to fruition. Fortunately for Marty Mahon, of Swoyersville, a big payoff stood right in front of him at Geisinger Medical System’s Life Flight open house, in the form of a little blonde boy. Mahon is a pilot with the Life Flight program, which celebrated its 30th anniversary and held an open house where the public had a chance to meet the crew members. One such attendant was Jennifer Snyder and the

He’s healthy and happy now; I couldn’t have asked for a better turn out.” Though the story has a happy ending, its troublesome beginnings are still vivid for Snyder. “I was terrified. I just remember laying there and not knowing what to think or what was going on. I was also very thankful for the staff that day; they kept me calm.” Snyder decided to visit the open house so those who were

Mahon has been on the Life Flight team for 10 years. He began his foray into the service of helping others at 14, when he trained as a junior firefighter in Plymouth. He was then a ground medic and made his way to the Life Flight operation, something he had wanted to do from the start. Debra Lewis, a Geisinger Life Flight nurse, also had intentions of becoming part of such a team. She has been flying for 15 years now, four and a half with Geisinger. PETE G.

Showing off their stuff Some song-and-dance for the summer at mini-theme camps

WILKES-BARRE – Will Vinsko was born to perform. The 7-year-old from Wilkes-Barre belted out the lines of each song he sang with confidence and gusto and added his own improvised moves to the choreographed dance routine. Jacob Hull of Duryea, his fellow camper in the musical theater program at the

Kids at King’s summer camp, wasn’t born so extroverted. “This guy, Jacob, he wasn’t singing ‘till today,” fellow camper Chase Pugh, 7, of Mountain Top, cajoled. “Yeah, I’m quiet,” shrugged the 6-yearold Jacob. But come Friday Jacob was singing and dancing with the other 11 kids in the troupe. “Some of them you can tell were born that way,” said performing arts camp instructor Samantha Schugardt. “Whether they realize it or not, they’ll help each other come out of their shell a little bit… I haven’t had a kid who got out there terri-

fied.” The Kids at King’s summer camp offers dozens of lesson-themed minicamps, each held for 2-1/2 hours a day for a week. Most cost less than $100 per session. In the King’s Stars program, as the musical theater camp is titled, Schugardt taught the campers five song-and-dance numbers from Broadway standards like “Annie” and “Gypsy” and the more contemporary “Seussical the Musical.’’ They began by playing warm-up games and learning the words to each song, then added choreography as they became more familiar with the music. At the end of the week, the kids got to show off what they’d learned in a performance for their parents, friends and other campers. The first and second grade age group

was somewhat unusual, Schugardt said, in that joining the eight girls in the class were Vinsko, Hull, Pugh and another boy, Patrick Cunningham of Wilkes-Barre. That’s more boys than she ever had before, Schugardt said. “Last year, I didn’t have any boys that registered for my musical-theater classes,” she said, adding that the breakout success of NBC’s Glee and a small resurgence in musical movies has given singing and dancing a cooler image and has probably led more boys to take an interest in it. The camp titled this week’s session of King’s Stars -- for older kids in grades 6, 7 and 8 -- King’s Does Glee. It filled up quick, Schugardt said. The Kids at King’s summer camp runs through the first week of August at King’s College.

Right now, eight is enough in Fernandez family Local couple with five foster children to be honored by Statewide Adoption and Permanency Network.

By CAMILLE FIOTI Times Leader Correspondent

NESCOPECK -- Amanda Fernandez says she never planned on having children when she was growing up, but after having her first child, Jesse, she knew she wanted more. Fernandez, 29, gave birth to son Jesse, who has Down syndrome, 10 years ago. When she and Jerver, 28, married seven years ago, Jerver adopted Jesse, who was Amanda’s child from a previous relationship. Soon after, Amanda gave birth to Gabriella, who was born healthy. Responding to a help-wanted ad for a

half-double home would be filled with eight children. Not coming from a large family themselves, Amanda and Jerver never realized what life would be like. In December 2004, the family welcomed Trinity into their home. She was born premature and weighed a pound and a half. She weighed just five pounds and had multiple medical problems when the couple became her foster parents five months later. Over the next several years, Amanda and Jerver welcomed four more foster children with special needs and Amanda also gave DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER birth to their youngest child, Vanessa, 2, who was born healthy.

The National Ground Water Association will offer a free Webinar on testing well water before and after hydraulic fracturing for natural gas production to help well owners monitor changes in water quality related to hydraulic fracturing fluids. The Webinar, which will be conducted by David R. Wunsch, the association’s director of science and technology, will take place July 26 from 1 to 2 p.m. Members of the public will be able to ask questions online. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has captured headlines in areas where gas development is occurring. Fracking is a process in which fluids, commonly made up of water and a small percentage of chemical additives, are combined with sand and pumped at very high pressure into geologic formations holding gas. The resulting fractures allow the release of natural gas, which can be collected and piped to market. Anyone who would like to participate in the Webinar should email ctreyens@ngwa.org and put “Webinar NGWA” in the subject line. HARRISBURG

ORLANDO, Fla. — Casey Anthony walked out of jail a free woman under heavy guard early Sunday, facing shouts of “baby killer” from a heckling crowd less than two weeks after she was found not guilty of murder in the death of her 2year-old daughter, Caylee. The 25-year-old woman, whose acquittal shocked and enraged many around the country who had been following the case for months, left an Orlando area jail at 12:14 a.m., swiftly boarded an SUV and rode out of

as the vehicle left. Some yelled “You suck!” Mounted patrolmen and police cruisers blocked the street outside the jail so Anthony’s vehicle could drive onto a nearby highway ramp unobstructed. “A baby killer was just set free!” shouted Bree Thornton, 39. “Right now we are just moving forward and trying to start putting the pieces back together for Casey’s life,” her attorney, Jose Baez, told Geraldo Rivera by phone on Fox News Channel late Sunday. News helicopters followed Anthony to a covered parking garage at an Orlando office building where one of her attor-

LOS ANGELES

‘Carmageddon’ is calm

The event that many feared would be the “Carmageddon” of epic traffic jams cruised calmly toward a finish Sunday, with bridge work on the Los Angeles roadway completed 16 hours ahead of schedule and officials reopening a 10-mile stretch of one of the nation’s busiest freeways. Drivers honked their horns and waved from car windows as traffic started moving on Interstate 405 just after noon, for the first time since being shut down at midnight Friday to allow for the partial demolition of a bridge. There were no major problems since the freeway was closed, despite warnings. CAIRO

Cabinet members named

Egypt’s prime minister named 12 new Cabinet members Sunday in a reshuffle under pressure from protesters demanding a purge of remnants of the former regime, state television reported. A lawyer for Hosni Mubarak, meanwhile, said the ousted president had suffered a stroke and was in a coma — a claim that was quickly denied by Mubarak’s lead doctor. The former president is to face trial on charges he ordered the killings of protesters during the uprising that ousted him. A conviction could carry the death penalty and activists suspect his lawyer may be using health problems as a ruse to sway public opinion and perhaps even win amnesty. State TV dubbed the new government lineup the “Revolution Cabinet.” Most of the ministers were relative newcomers, clearly a way to avoid further criticism by the protesters. Thousands of Egyptians have returned to Tahrir Square, the epicenter of Egypt’s uprising, complaining that change has come too slow under the military council that took over power. JERUSALEM

Wildfire close to memorial

He said investigators were considering the possibility of arson because of reports that the blaze erupted in several places at once.

Research: Grandparents safer drivers than parents The study looked at injuries rather than who had more crashes. By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer

CHICAGO — Kids may be safest in cars when grandma or grandpa are driving instead of mom or dad, according to study results that even made the researchers do a double-take. “We were surprised to discover that the injury rate was considerably lower in crashes where grandparents were the drivers,” said Dr. Fred Henretig, an emergency medicine specialist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the study’s

lead author. Previous evidence indicates that car crashes are more common in older drivers, mostly those beyond age 65. The study looked at injuries rather than who had more crashes, and found that children’s risk for injury was 50 percent lower when riding with grandparents than with parents. The results are from an analysis of State Farm insurance claims for 2003-07 car crashes in 15 states, and interviews with the drivers. The data, which was released online by Pediatrics, involved nearly 12,000 children up to age 15. Henretig, 64, said the study was prompted by his own experiences when

his first grandchild was born three years ago. “I found myself being very nervous on the occasions that we drove our granddaughter around and really wondered if anyone had ever looked at this before,” he said. Reasons for the unexpected findings are uncertain, but the researchers have a theory. “Perhaps grandparents are made more nervous about the task of driving with the ‘precious cargo’ of their grandchildren and establish more cautious driving habits” to compensate for any age-related challenges, they wrote.

Former Murdoch aide arrested in scandal Rebekah Brooks was the chief executive of News International. By JILL LAWLESS Associated Press

LONDON — A burgeoning voicemail hacking and police bribery scandal cut closer than ever to Rupert Murdoch and Scotland Yard on Sunday with the arrest of the media magnate’s former British newspaper chief and the resignation of London’s police commissioner. Though the former executive, Rebekah Brooks, and the police chief, Paul Stephenson, have denied wrongdoing, both developments are ominous not only for Murdoch’s News Corp., but for a British power structure that nurtured a cozy relationship with his

papers for years. Brooks, the ultimate social and political insider, dined at ChristBrooks mas with Prime Minister David Cameron. His Conservative-led government is now facing increasing questions about its relationship with Murdoch’s media empire. The arrest of the 43-year-old Brooks, often described as a surrogate daughter to the 80year-old Murdoch, brought the British police investigations into the media baron’s inner circle for the first time. Until her resignation Friday, Brooks was the defiant chief executive of News International, Murdoch’s British newspaper arm, whose News

Two men wearing suicide bomb vests and armed with guns attacked Khan’s home in the western Kabul district of Karti Char, said Defense Ministry official Gen. Zahir Wardak. Khan, who was governor of the Pashtun-dominated Uruzgan province in the south from 2002 until March 2006, was shot along with Uruzgan lawmaker Mohammed Ashim Watanwal, the official said. The assassination came as international military forces handed over security for Bamiyan province to Afghan security forces, part of a transition process in which seven areas are to be handed over to Karzai’s government this month. It also came one day before Gen. David Petraeus, the top NATO commander in Afghanistan, hands over responsibility for the military campaign in Afghanistan to his replacement, Lt. Gen. John Allen. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attack on behalf of the insurgent group. Mujahid said the Taliban killed Khan because he was assisting coalition forces in carrying out night raids against Afghans. The controversial raids carried out by NATO forces have been highly effective in capturing or killing hundreds of Taliban fighters and midlevel commanders. Karzai has complained the raids anger many Afghans who are mistakenly targeted. “He was cooperating and helping the American forces,” Mujahid said in an emailed statement.

PUC to hold rate hearings for water company Pennsylvania American Water customers’ input concerning requested rate hike sought. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

Pennsylvania American Water Co. customers wishing to give input on the utility’s request to raise rates 13.3 percent will have a chance this week. The Public Utility Commission will hold a local public hearing on the proposed rate increase at 1:30 p.m. Friday at the Ramada hotel on Public Square in WilkesBarre. It’s one of eight hearings the PUC is holding throughout the water company’s service area over the next month. In addition

to the Wilkes-Barre hearing, the PUC will conduct sessions in Bushkill, Butler, Washington, Dravosburg, Camp Hill, Reading and Norristown. The company is based in Voorhees, N.J. and its Hershey unit told the state it needs the $70 million of revenue the hike would generate to help maintain and upgrade its aging infrastructure. That infrastructure includes a 9,200-mile network of waterlines and treatment plants. Many, the company said, are in need of pricey maintenance, ongoing repair and replacement. System improvements totaling about $533 million since the company’s last rate increase in 2009 were cited as the primary reason for the latest rate increase

request. “A significant factor driving this request is the need to recover the money that we have invested to maintain and upgrade our water systems,” said company spokeswoman Susan Turcmanovich. The 78.9 cents per 100 gallons rate Pennsylvania American Water residential customers currently pay would go to 94.9 cents, a 20.2 percent increase, if the full rate request is approved. The company’s also requested a 19.2 percent jump in its monthly service charge, a flat rate that covers the utility’s cost of billing and customer service. If approved by the PUC, the rate would go from $13 to $15.50 per month. If both increases are approved by the state, the cost to a customer us-

TIPS ON TESTIFYING The PUC and state Office of Consumer Advocate offer tips on how to participate. They include: • Prepare what you are going to say beforehand. Even though it is not required, you may want to write out your statement, which can be read. • Bring copies. If you have a written statement you would like to give to the judge as evidence, please bring two copies for the court reporter and several copies for the other participants. • Plan to be questioned. Parties in the case may want to ask you a question to clarify something you said.

ing 4,100 gallons per month – the average according to the water company, would be $6.42 more than they currently pay each month.

On an annual basis, for a residential customer using 49,800 gallons of water, the water bill will rise $77.04, from $581.40 to $658.44. Commercial customers in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties that rely on Pennsylvania American Water for their H2O could see a 16.5 percent rate hike. The company’s request would bring a typical monthly commercial water bill, using 23,000 gallons per month, to $242.14. Currently a customer using that amount of water pays $207.80. An administrative law judge will conduct the hearings and will make a recommendation to the PUC. A final decision must be made by Jan. 28. At the hearings, members of

A ‘Victory’ for older Challenger baseball players An adult league for adults with physical and mental disabilities has formed.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

When Challenger Little League began play in 1991, the true spirit of baseball filled the ballpark. About 40 kids up to the age of 20 participated and the league continues today with an average of 70 participants annually. When the local league began, it was the second Challenger League in Pennsylvania – Williamsport, the home of Little League Baseball, was the first. In April, the original Challenger Little League players got together at the Pittston Township Little League for a reunion – an “oldtimers game” if you will. The spirit that was there in 1991 had not faded and the players – now in their 20s and 30s and each with a physical or mental disability – had as much fun as the first time they stepped on the field to play baseball.

And then one of them made a statement. “Why should the fun of playing baseball stop because we got older?” one of the players asked. The question hit Fred DeSanto, the organizer of the league, like a ton of bricks. “That really got to me,” DeSanto said. “I realized that baseball is enjoyed by people of all ages and these young adults really love the game.” So DeSanto called a meeting of the original board and discussed his plan – to form a league for adults with physical and mental disabilities. The board agreed and the league will begin play in the fall. “Everybody I’ve talked to is thrilled about this league starting up,” DeSanto said. “The response has been overwhelming. I think we have almost 70 players registered and we expect more.” But Little League Baseball, Inc., does not sanction an adult program. The organization supports the idea, but DeSanto said the board had to come up with a new name that would address

the spirit of Challenger players. “The name of the league is Victory Baseball,” DeSanto said. “We will begin our first year probably in mid-August.” Lance VanAuken, spokesman for Little League Baseball in Williamsport, said the adult

league is a great idea. “In a general sense we would be in favor of anything that provides a healthy program for anyone, especially those with mental and physical challenges,” VanAuken said. “Although this league is not a part of the Little

League program, we would encourage anybody to put that type of program together.” VanAuken said the interest in the adult league is impressive. “Little League began because there were adult leagues and no youth leagues,” he said. “And kids wanted to play baseball. This is the opposite. These adults played Challenger Little League first and then wanted to continue as adults, but there was no program. And now there will be one. It’s a great idea.” DeSanto said Victory Baseball will offer more than baseball for the participants -- adults with physical or mental disabilities ages 21 thru 60. He said other sports to be offered will include bowling, bocce and basketball. All baseball games this fall will be played at the Pittston Township Little League field. A kickoff/recognition dinner will be held Aug. 12, at Mohegan Sun Casino, Plains Township. For more information on the dinner, call DeSanto at 6558224, or Debbie Taroli at 6544288.

the public are welcome to attend and provide comments. “These hearings are being held to receive input from the public on the proposed rate increase. We encourage consumers to attend and speak at these hearings because their testimony is important to the commission,” said Denise McCracken, a PUC spokeswoman. “It becomes part of the record on which the commission will make its final decision. This is a great opportunity for consumers to have their opinions heard.” The company, which is the largest water utility in the state, serves approximately 134,000 customers in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties, according to Turcmanovich.

Philadelphians gather to laud late mayor Rizzo The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Friends and supporters of late Philadelphia mayor Frank Rizzo have been gathering over the weekend to remember him on the 20th anniversary of his death. At Rizzo’s downtown statue on Saturday — the only statue of a former Philadelphia mayor — the Quaker city String Band played as dignitaries arrived, some following a motorcade down Broad Street. Rizzo died of a heart attack in 1991 while campaigning for a third term as mayor, a job he held from 1972 to 1980. Rizzo rose from police officer to commissioner to mayor of the City of Brotherly Love, where his tough law-and-order stance won both strong admirers and fierce critics. Rizzo’s brother, Joe, a former fire commissioner, says Rizzo “roared like a lion, but he had a heart like a soft marshmallow.”

Craig Lukatch, director of development for Wyoming Valley Children’s Association, said a CreateAthon team designed four new agency brochures for the association. “The old brochures were really outdated.

The creative professionals who work on the 24-hour blitz have decided to dedicate this year’s event in her honor. “Catherine has fueled the CreateAthon efforts, producing hundreds of thousands of dollars in pro bono services for charitable organizations locally for the past decade with more energy and enthusiasm than 10 gallons of Red Bull, coffee, and Jolt,” said Dawe. “We are excited to dedicate this year’s event to her.” The round-the-clock creative and design work will begin at 8 a.m. on Sept. 15 at the Wallace F.

Tour bus crash kills 2 in Western N.Y. The Associated Press

BATH, N.Y. — A tour bus traveling from Washington, D.C., to Niagara Falls crashed in a wooded median in western New York on Sunday afternoon, killing two people and injuring 35, state police said. The crash happened on Interstate 390 in Steuben County at 4:15 p.m., and a preliminary report indicates that a tire blowout might have caused the wreck, New York State Police spokesman Mark O’Donnell said. The bus, owned by Bedore Tours of North Tonawanda near

Buffalo, left Washington on Sunday morning and stopped for lunch in Pennsylvania, O’Donnell said. He didn’t have any details on the passengers. O’Donnell said investigators will interview the driver and witnesses and inspect the vehicle as they try to determine what caused the crash. The driver lost control of the bus about 55 miles southeast of Rochester and veered down a grassy bank into the woods.

Gay pairs in military won’t get benefits

Gay activists say the discrepancy will create a two-tier system. By JULIE WATSON Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Gay service members from Army soldiers to Air Force officers are planning to celebrate the official end of the military’s 17-year policy that forced them to hide their sexual orientation with another official act — marriage. A 27-year-old Air Force officer from Ohio said he can’t wait to wed his partner of two years and slip on a ring that he won’t have to take off or lie about when he goes to work each day once “don’t ask, don’t tell” is repealed. He plans to wed his boyfriend, a federal employee, in Washington D.C. where same-sex marriages are legal. He asked not to be identified, following the advice of the Servicemembers Legal Defense Network, a national organization representing gay troops, including the Air Force officer, that has cautioned those on active duty from coming out until the ban is off the books. "I owe it to him and myself,” the officer said of getting married. “I don’t want to do it in the dark. I think that taints what it’s supposed to be about — which is us, our families, and our government.” But in the eyes of the military the marriage will not be recognized and the couple will still be denied most of the benefits the Defense Department gives to heterosexual couples to ease the costs of medical care, travel, housing and other living expenses. The Pentagon says the 1996 federal Defense of Marriage Act — which defines marriage for federal program purposes as a legal union between a man and woman — prohibits the Defense Department from extending those benefits to gay couples, even if they are married legally in certain states. That means housing allowances and off-base living space for gay service members with partners could be decided as if they were living alone. Base transfers would not take into account their spouses. If two gay service members are married to each other they may be transferred to two different states or regions of the world. For heterosexual couples, the military tries to avoid that from happening. Gay activists and even some commanders say the discrepancy will create a two-tier system in an institution built on uniformity. “It’s not going to work,” said Army Reserve Capt. R. Clarke Cooper, who heads up the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay rights group that sued the Justice Department to stop the enforcement of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. “Taking care of our soldiers is necessary to ensure morale and unit cohesion. This creates a glaring stratification in the disbursement of support services and benefits.” Cooper said he also plans to marry his boyfriend, a former Navy officer, in a post-repeal era. The Obama administration has said it believes the ban could be fully lifted within weeks. A federal appeals court ruling July 6 ordered the government to immediately cease its enforcement. After the Department of Justice filed an emergency motion asking the court to reconsider its order, the court on Friday reinstated the law but with a caveat that prevents the government from investigating or penalizing anyone who is openly gay.

standard. The issue is among several concerns local superintendents have raised about the cyber schools. The schools, which teach students via computer set up in their homes, draw hundreds of Luzerne County students from their home districts each year. Since 2001, the number of Luzerne County students attending cyber schools has skyrocketed from just 63 to 700 in the 2010-2011 school year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come at a cost. Districts are required to pay cyber schools a fee equal to roughly 75 percent of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s per pupil cost to educate a student. The countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11 school districts shelled out a combined total of $6.5 million to cyber schools in 2011. Some superintendents, including Wilkes-Barre Areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jeff Namey, have questioned what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting for their money. The poor performance of many of the cyber schools in the AYP has further fueled their concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a concern,â&#x20AC;? Namey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Wilkes-Barre Area, as a whole, did not make AYP five years in a row, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be held to task. People would be asking why, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on, what are you not doing that you should be doing?â&#x20AC;? While acknowledging that AYP performance is a concern, officials with several cyber schools said the measure does not tell the whole story. There are several significant factors that put cyber schools at a disadvantage, they said, including a disparity in how cyber schools and school districts are measured that makes it much more difficult for a cyber school to meet the AYP. Joe Lyons, communications director for the Pennsylvania Virtual cyber charter school, said a school district as a whole can make the AYP, even if some of its individual schools, such as an elementary or middle school, did not. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the districts are separated out by grade level groups â&#x20AC;&#x201C; elementary, middle school and high school. As long as one subgroup makes the AYP, the district as a whole does, too. With cyber schools, all their grades are considered as a single entity, or school. That means if the cyber fails to meet one standard in

any single grade, it will not make AYP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rules are different for cyber schools than school districts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an apples to apples comparison,â&#x20AC;? he said. Pennsylvania Virtual has made the AYP in two of the past fives years, including the 2009-10 school year. Had it been measured by the same standard as school districts, it would have made it each of those years, Lyons said. Different challenges Sharon Williams, executive director of Agora, said cyber schools also face other challenges than a typical school because their students come from all across the state. Williams said at Agora, 60 percent of the students it teaches each year are new to the school. The majority of those are students were not performing well in their home district. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult for the school to turn those students around in a single year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The AYP does not consider a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proficiency when they enter the school,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do as much as we can to close those gaps, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very difficult, when 60 percent of our kids are new, to make progress that will show up in AYP scores.â&#x20AC;?

Districts seeking alternatives Two local intermediate units offer combined cyber program; some districts may start own.

She believes a fairer, and more accurate, measurement of school performance comes from the Pennsylvania Value-Added Assessment System (PVAS). That system measures a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance on standardized tests, coupled with their progress, or growth, year to year. Williams and Lyons said that standard is more meaningful because it shows how successful, or unsuccessful, a school is at helping individual students advance, as opposed to strictly looking at how they scored on a standardized test in a given year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you want to see,â&#x20AC;? Lyons said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A standard test is a snapshot in time . . . You want to look at growth over time. Did they make up that gap? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important data.â&#x20AC;? Williams said she remains mindful of the importance of the AYP scores, but hopes the state will begin relying more on PVAS. Agora scored well the latest PVAS evaluation, Williams said, which showed the school was effective in helping students achieve growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we are just as upset when we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make AYP as anyone else, we are also celebrating the growth of our students year over year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The longer they stay, the better they do.â&#x20AC;?

Displeased by the cost and lack of control they have over cyber charter schools, several local school districts have turned to a program offered by two local intermediate units, while others are considering starting their own cyber schools. This past school year, seven Luzerne County districts utilized a cyber education service offered by Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit 19 in conjunction with Luzerne Intermediate Unit 18. Known as Vlinc (Virtually Linking Instruction and Curriculum), the program provides an alternative for students who wish to take classes solely online, but who do not want to enroll in any of the 11 cyber charter schools operating in Pennsylvania, said Brian Dempsey, the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrator. The program is popular with local school administrators because, unlike charter cyber schools, it allows them to maintain control and oversight over their students. With cyber charters, once a student enrolls he is she is considered that schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student. Their home district has no say in their education and also has no right to obtain records to ascertain how the student is performing. With Vlinc, the student remains a student of their home district, Dempsey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they are full time, they are still enrolled in their home district and earn a diploma through the district. The are not considered Vlinc students,â&#x20AC;? Dempsey said. Less costly Vlinc is also considerably less costly to districts. The cost for a full time Vlinc student averages about $3,000 per school year,

Ty Yost and Brian Dempsey are the administrators of Vlinc, a cyber charter school program offered by the Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit 19 and Luzerne Intermediate Unit 18.

Dempsey said. If a student goes to a cyber charter, the district is required to pay that school the home districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s per-pupil rate, which in Luzerne County ranged from roughly $7,100 to $9,000 last school year, depending on the school district. Dempsey said the program served approximately 450 fulland part-time students, most of whom are located in IU19â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s region, in 2010-11. In Luzerne County, the participating districts were Hanover Area, Wyoming Area, Northwest Area, Pittston Area, Dallas, Lake-Lehman and Wyoming Valley West Districts. Jeff Namey, superintendent at Wilkes-Barre Area School District, said his district has opted to forgo Vlinc and is instead discussing joining up with the Seneca Valley School District near Pittsburgh to offer its own cyber school. Seneca Valley began offering cyber courses to students in grades 9 through 12 three years ago. It recently expanded its program to middle school students.

Namey said several school districts attended a presentation presented by various cyber course operators. He was most impressed by Seneca Valley. Monitoring concerns One of Nameyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key concerns with charter cyber schools is the fact he has no idea of how diligent they are in monitoring students to ensure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking part in class and not simply logging on to a computer and walking away. Seneca Valley monitors the time a student spent on a time on task very closely, he said. Namey said discussions are still ongoing. He hopes to present a proposal for the school board to consider this year. Should the cyber school come to fruition, it would be up to students and their parents to decide whether to return as the district has no control over that. Namey said he believes parents will agree with him that the Seneca Valley program is top notch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to get some of students in cyber charter school to come on board with us,â&#x20AC;? Namey said.

Each base has four pilots, five flight nurses, five paramedics, and one mechanic. There is also a sixth copter available as a backup. Each helicopter is equipped with autopilot capabilities, GPS navigation systems, satellitebased and conventional radar systems, and instrument flying capability. “I’ve flown in a lot of helicop-

We even fly with night vision goggles if we find ourselves working in darkness.”

WORLD OPINION

Phone hacking scandal demands judge’s attention

HE announcement regarding the inquiries into the phone hacking scandal is wel-

come. As the London Evening Standard has been calling for, the inquiries will be headed by a senior judge, Lord Justice Brian Leveson, a formidable prosecutor. He will have sweeping powers to call witnesses including politicians, police and the press and question them under oath. The move also represents an effort by the government to take back control of the issue from Labour, which has made the running thus far. The extraordinary shift in political opinion against Rupert Murdoch’s empire was evident in government support

for the Labour motion calling on Murdoch to withdraw his BSkyB bid – a deal which looked almost certain to go through. Both Murdoch and his son James also are to be invited to appear before the Commons Culture Select Committee. All this might trouble Murdoch, although perhaps not as much as the call from U.S. Senate Commerce Committee chairman Jay Rockefeller for an investigation into possible hacking in the United States by News Corp. outlets. This is unproven but could be highly damaging to Murdoch’s vital U.S. assets, which include the Fox News TV channel and The Wall Street Journal. London Evening Standard

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We could not have picked a more appropriate name.” Jim Jennings The owner of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s newest professional sports franchise, an indoor lacrosse team, announced last week that it will go by the name “Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Shamrocks.” In January 2012 the Shamrocks begin play in the North American Lacrosse League at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza, Wilkes-Barre Township.

A loss of money and trust

HE DECISION BY the United States to cut its military aid to Pakistan by a third is an extremely important strategic regional development. It is the first time this has happened and it is another sign that the longstanding U.S.-Pakistan special military relationship is crumbling fast in the wake of the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden. The cut is reportedly in retaliation for Pakistan’s decision to expel a number of U.S. military advisers. But the reasons are far bigger than that. There is now a fundamental and insurmountable poisonous mistrust on both sides. Even before the U.S. raid at the beginning of May, many Pakistanis had little love for the United States. But now, according to a recent opinion poll, the majority of them see the United States as an enemy. Conversely, for all the talk

that the United States “needs” Pakistan in the war against alQaida, it is clear that Washington no longer trusts the Islamabad establishment and, more importantly, its military. The situation is strikingly similar to that of Egypt when, in 1956, the United States refused to fund the building of the Aswan High Dam and Nasser turned to the Soviet Union instead with the result that for the next two and half decades Egypt was a Soviet client state. Whether the same happens to Pakistan in relation to China remains to be seen, but the fact that the two neighbors are politically, economically and militarily imbalanced partners and that the relationship from Pakistan’s point of view would be one of dependence is bound to play a part.

They did Canada proud

N THE WAKE of the deaths of 157 brave Canadian soldiers and the wounding of hundreds more, the U.S. Army officially took over Canada’s battle space in Kandahar. Ours was a job well done, and it is now farewell. Canada’s combat mission in the terrorist backdrop of an embattled Afghanistan has finally come to an end. Canada’s role now is a training mission. As the battle line closes, we salute every patriotic man and woman wearing a Canadian military uniform who ever set

foot in that faraway land. They did their country proud, and they helped the Afghan people beyond measure. This cannot be argued, although there will be those who dare to try. During a feast in a compound that was once a Taliban headquarters, Haji Fazluddin Agha, governor of the embattled Panjwaii district, made a point of centering out just who made a difference in the lives of his people. “The Canadians are our greatest friends,” he said.

The super lawyer stands stripped of his law license, his awesome abode, his jazzy jet and his posh yacht.

Powell is so broke he might be forced to defend himself in a massive civil suit filed by children and parents who were caught in his juvenile detention facility scheme. You remember, the “kids for cash” allegations that brought down former Luzerne County judges Mark “Shameless” Ciavarella and Michael “Cocky” Conahan. By the way, did anyone else besides me look at Friday’s newspaper photo of Ciavarella brushing up a porch owned by Bob Kadluboski and automatically think: “I hear you paint houses”?

n a recent speech, President Obama threw down his big-government gauntlet. He not only demanded that Congress raise taxes and borrow more money, but also gave it a “hard deadline” of Aug. 2 to get it done. In my mind, this ups the ante and raises the stakes for Republican Congressmen Tom Marino and Lou Barletta that they not raise taxes or increase our debt, as the president has demanded. By doing so, they will say to the president that they do not accept his approach of government by tantrum. Congress needs to do what America’s working families have had to do to make ends meet during these hard economic times – cut spending, pay debts and keep the budget balanced. If we can do this around our kitchen tables, why can’t they do it in the halls of Congress? The president’s solution of raising taxes and increasing spending is exactly the kind of thinking that got us in this mess. I thank Congressmen Barletta and Marino for their opposition to tax increases and encourage them to remain resolute in their firm opposition to President Obama’s tax-

and-spend schemes. Donald Jones Scott Township

Swimsuit remarks hurt woman’s feelings, esteem

wimsuit weather is here – fun for some, nightmare for others. While enjoying the hot weather at a public pool or beach, try to be considerate of others and refrain from making derogatory comments about others’ bodies. A careless word, soon forgotten by the speaker, can potentially ruin someone’s day and destroy his or her self-confidence.

ing behind my daughter said loudly to her husband that the woman in the black bathing suit (me) did not have the body to wear a swimsuit. She made further comments about my surgical scars. I immediately changed and threw away my swimsuit. It took me years to have enough confidence to wear a one-piece suit in public. Eight years ago, I weighed more than 240 pounds. I lost more than 100 pounds and finally was getting comfortable with my body. My family has told me multiple times that I am beautiful and have nothing about which to worry. Now I think they said those things only because they have to. A complete stranger had the nerve to speak the truth. Am I overreacting? Should I just blow it off and pretend nothing happened? Probably. That doesn’t make it hurt any less. I also worry about how my daughters’ self-images will be after hearing some of the comments this careless woman made. Very few people in this world have perfect bodies. We all have the right to cool off in the water on a hot day. Granted, we all have the right to our opinions, also. This does not give people the right to speak them aloud in a public place meaning to hurt another’s feelings. A.J. Dixon Dallas

A TIMELINE HIGHLIGHTING STEVE FLOOD’S POLITICAL CAREER Here are some highlights of Steve Flood’s political career. May 16, 2001 Steve Flood wins the Democratic nomination for controller over Andrew Reilly, who was supported by then-majority county commissioners Tom Makowski and Tom Pizano. Flood went on to defeat Walter Mitchell in the general election. Jan. 7, 2002 Flood is sworn in as county controller after winning the Democratic primary and general election in 2001. Feb. 5, 2002 Flood pays surprise visit to Moon Lake Park, the first of many to the more than 50 Luzerne County departments in his effort to cut waste and improve efficiency. March 26, 2002 Flood says he is investigating the county prison’s purchase of more than $4,000 in smoked kielbasa from a market operated by a prison employee’s family. April 18, 2002 Flood bucks county Democratic Party and endorses Philadelphia

Mayor Ed Rendell in his bid for governor. The party endorsed state Auditor General Bob Casey Jr. Sept. 5, 2002 In a 3-2 vote, county Retirement Board members Flood, county Treasurer Mike Morreale and commissioner Steve Urban, vote to fire ASCO Financial Group, the adviser of the county’s $142 million employee pension fund. Feb. 12, 2003 Flood announces his run for county commissioner, saying it’s the only way he can fix some of the problems he has uncovered as county controller. April 9, 2003 Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella rules the Retirement Board may continue to pay a Philadelphia law firm to investigate the county pension fund and possible improprieties of past retirement board members. May 12, 2003 Flood sued for defamation by ASCO Financial Group over comments about its handling of the county pension fund made on WILK-AM radio talk show.

May 20, 2003 Flood loses in primary to eventual general election winners Greg Skrepenak and Todd Vonderheid. Oct. 9, 2003 The Luzerne County Retirement Board majority files a federal civil suit, alleging 26 past and present money managers and county officials violated the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, known as RICO. Jan. 28, 2004 Flood avoids going to prison after missing a court hearing to testify about pension funds. Flood missed the hearing because he was at a fantasy baseball camp in Florida. Nov. 15, 2004 Flood issues subpoenas to five county officials and Pennsylvania Child Care LLC, the company that owns a juvenile detention center, over 20-year, $58 million lease of facility by county. Dec. 7, 2004 Flood withdraws his subpoenas against several county officials and Pennsylvania Child Care LLC, saying he’s already gathering enough paperwork on his own.

power, ordering 11 people to two public hearings to answer questions about the 20-year, $58 million juvenile detention center lease. A judge later put a hold on the subpoenas until a hearing scheduled for later in the month.

FLOOD

2004 subpoena when Flood was at a prescheduledfantasybaseballcamp in Florida. Hours before his first stroke in 2007, Flood was at a county commissioner meeting complaining about the county’s leasing of a Pittston Township facility that was later linked to the charges against the two former judges and others. Flood had uncovered information about the judges and detention center, some obtained by a private investigator Flood paid out of his own funds. He presented his findings and suspicions to federal authorities, his lawyers have said. When Flood released a draft audit criticizing the county’s $58 million leasing of the PittstonTownshipdetentioncenter, Conahan made the extraordinary decision to seal a trade secrets lawsuit filed against Flood and others by the detention center owners, essentially putting a gag order on the outspoken controller. Urban said the examples show

that Flood was willing to risk lawsuits and attacks on his credibility to stand up for residents, when it would have been easier for him to give up. “He was just the taxpayers’ watchdog. That was his goal, to make sure the public’s money was looked after,” Urban said. UrbansaidhetookFloodoutfora belated birthday dinner in May, and the former controller had a healthy appetite and was starting to put words together. “He just wanted to talk, and he couldn’t. He loved to talk, so I think it was hard for him to try to communicate when people couldn’t understand him,” Urban said. Urban said he plans to ask his fellow commissioners to order the county courthouse flag at half mast in honor of Flood because he was an Army veteran and former county elected official. Urban’s wife, Linda, said Flood deserves that honor. “He was a man of ethics with a heart of gold. We have definitely lost one of Luzerne County’s finest,” she

said. Paulhamus said Flood passed away peacefully at the Special Care Hospital in Nanticoke. He was admitted there about a week ago after doctors at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital determined he had suffered another stroke, she said. Flood cried when doctors told him he had another stroke, this time impacting the other side of his brain, she said. Paulhamus said she had taken him to Wilkes-Barre General because he was not feeling well when they were returning from a trip to visit friends in Maine. The second stroke eventually led to paralysis throughout his body, she said. Paulhamus and Flood were a couple since January 1998, and she struggled to compose herself Sunday as she picked out a suit for him. Though they never married, she remainedbyhissidethroughhisphysical and mental challenges. Hehadapowerchair,andsheregularly took him places to keep him

active and try to lift his spirits. She said he seemed aware of the arrests made in the corruption probe and appeared animated when he looked at the newspaper or saw the television reports. “I will miss lots of things about him. The fact that he got involved in the community and cared about the community,” Paulhamus said. Flood also loved animals, she said. The couple had five cats, two birds and a dog, she said. County Treasurer Mike Morreale said he’s relieved that Flood’s suffering is over. He remembered Flood as someone who “made his presence known” in county government. “He made some big changes in the courthouse that we had never seen before,” Morreale said. Morreale said Flood had convinced him to align with him on the county retirement board, ending the board majority led by former commissioners Tom Makowski and Tom Pizano. The switch nearly cost Morreale his re-election.

“He got me in a lot of trouble,” Morreale said, laughing. Forty Fort attorney Harry W. Skene, who had worked as Flood’s solicitor, said his former boss was a “great man.” Skene said Flood wanted to “right wrongs,” and would zero in on subjects that didn’t appear to be questionable on the surface. “He possessed an uncanny ability to be right, to know when something was just off,” Skene said. Many people believed that he was trying to hurt the people he challenged, Skene said. “I never believed it. He was a super hero when it came to fighting corruption. He could see troubles in elected officials and in those who lurk behind the scenes but whose hands control all.” Flood was a unique politician because he was a successful, wealthy businessman when he was elected, Haddock said. He owned AAG International, which Flood described as the world’s largest seller of military antiques from the 1700s to the Vietnam War. He also owned Prospect Harbor Trading Co., a lobster business in Maine. Flood spent tens of thousands of dollars in his own money on his controller campaigns, saying he thought it was unethical to take donations. As controller, Flood was a “pioneer” who “questioned everything” and made his findings public, Haddock said. “Some forget he was as tough in the controller’s office as Walter Griffith, if not more,” Haddock said. Griffith, the current controller, said he often finds questionable spending or procedures and discovers, through research, that Flood had already raised the same issues, with no results. The controller said people often compare him to Flood, though he doesn’t know if it’s intended as an insult or praise. Griffith said he’d like to think that Flood approved of his work as controller and plans to attend his viewing to show his respect. “People called him a nut, too. Everybody said he was a pain and a grandstander and trying to get his name in the paper all the time. “That’s the exact same things they say about me,” Griffith said. Scranton attorney Chris Cullen, who worked as county retirement board solicitor under Flood, descried the loss of Flood as “tragic.” “He was for integrity in county government, openness and honesty,” Cullen said. “His coming upon the scene marked a beginning of a new era and the end of an old. He has done more in four years of government than people who have been in government 30 or 40 years have ever done for Luzerne County.” Funeral arrangements are pendingfromtheMamary-DurkinFuneral Service Inc. in Wilkes-Barre.

unconditional love and commitment the husband and wife have given to their children has taught her valuable lessons. “From a social worker’s perspective, I am honored to have been their adoption worker,” she said. Raising eight children, much less those with special needs, isn’t an easy task, especially when most are are under the age of five. Luckily, Amanda’s mother, Shirley Olexy, 50, who lives next door, helps out as well as Amanda’s cousin, who watches the kids when Amanda and Jerver are at work. Amanda works part-time as a phlebotomist at a Geisinger clinic in Bloomsburg and Jerver works 60-70 hours a week as a construction worker. Although he leaves for work in the morning when the

children are sleeping, Jerver said he always makes it home around dinnertime. “It’s nice coming home to them all,” he said. “I love my kids.” They do all the things other families do like go on vacation, eat in restaurants and shopping. They recently took a road trip to Disney World in their 15-passenger bus. Everyone has assigned seats and a 46-inch screen TV keeps the kids entertained. They family also likes to go on their pontoon boat at Bald Eagle State Park in Centre County. “They get a lot of compliments when they go out,” said Shirley, adding that the children are usually very well-behaved. On occasion, however, someone acts up and must be disciplined. “We can find a corner any-

where,” Amanda said. At home, when more than one of the children needs a time-out, the corner gets a lot of use. “I usually just take one out, then put one in.” At the moment, only Vanessa and Paige, who are both 2, are being potty-training and still wear diapers. “The older ones really help,” Amanda said. “They encourage them to go on the potty and be big girls.” Groceries run the family at least $300 a week. “It gets pretty expensive,” said Amanda, adding that she clips coupons, buys in bulk and shops in a variety of stores for the best deals. The family hopes to buy land and build a ranch home so 3-yearold Rose, who has cerebral palsy and needs a feeding tube, won’t

have to struggle getting up the stairs. “Our goal is for two years,” Amanda said. “We’re really trying to save.” Four-year-old Dominick was born premature with a heart defect and severe acid reflux. He has undergone two open heart surgeries and a procedure to prevent the reoccurrence of his reflux condition. He may need another open heart surgery before he’s 10. Jack, 3, was born premature and had to be on a sleep apnea monitor. “He’s doing really good besides his temper and ‘little boyness’,” said Amanda. Paige is Rose’s biological sister. “She is a little delayed for her age, but otherwise she’s healthy.” Some of the birth mothers keep

in touch with the children through cards, letters and visits. “They all know they’re adopted,” said Amanda. “I usually tell them they have two moms and two dads.” The couple tried adopting the children during the years they had them as foster children. “It’s very stressful,” Amanda said, adding that Trinity came close to going back to her birth mother. “There were a lot of sleepless nights and crying.” With all of the medical problems they’re challenged with, the family celebrates each stretch of healthiness and all of the little milestones. “These kids taught us way more than we’ve taught them,” Amanda said. “It has brought us closer. We really appreciate what we have.”

2005. He loved analogies and likened the situation to the classic Western “High Noon,” in which a marshal played by Gary Cooper faces a gang of killers without assistance from townsfolk. “The people closed the shutters on their windows when the marshal came by looking for help,” Flood said at the time. “That’s how I feel.” His efforts to expose wrongdoing came up repeatedly Sunday as people who knew him reacted to his death. “Luzerne County owes a great debt of gratitude to Steve Flood because he was certainly the epitome of what a true honest public servant would stand for,” said Jim Haddock, chairman of the Pittston-area Democratic district. “He, in my mind, unquestionably brought to light corruption in the courthouse and with judges that led to the federal probe,” Haddock said. County Register of Wills Dorothy Stankovic said many of Flood’s allegations involving the former judges and others turned out to be true. “Hewason the ball with everything. The problem was, people just didn’t want to listen to him,” Stankovic said. “God bless him. I’m going to miss him.” Flood’s election as controller had been a shocker because he was not the Democratic Party favorite. His campaign aggressively critiqued the qualifications of his opponents -a sign that voters craved an outspoken, gutsy watchdog. Urban said he welcomed Flood’s arrival to county government in 2002 because he finally had an ally with the courage to question spending and hiring. Urban was a Republican at that time but formed a fast friendshipwiththeDemocraticcontroller. Flood successfully pushed to hold retirement board meetings, requiring county officials to publicly disclose who was hired to manage the employee pension fund, Urban said. “Prior to that, hundreds of millions of dollars in fund assets had been moved around in secret without a public vote or knowledge. He stopped that,” Urban said. Flood also refused to allow court raises when Conahan was president judge in 2003 because they weren’t properly approved by the county salary board. Conahan, who was viewed as untouchable in the courthouse climate at that time, ordered Flood to pay them, but Flood challengedtheorderandgotitoverturned by the state Commonwealth Court. “He was not afraid to take on the judiciary,” Urban said, recalling that Ciavarella once threatened to put Flood in prison for failing to honor a

Far from it.” March 2, 2007 Flood circulates nominating petitions for county commissioner. March 26, 2007 Flood is placed under the control of a temporary guardian Heather Paulhamus due to a stroke.

LB Pollock looking for spot on field

Former Lake-Lehman star hopes to land on Nittany Lions’ special teams squad this season. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

Finding inspiration has never been difficult. Not for a linebacker at Penn State. It goes deeper than the list of high draft picks and Hallof-Famers. For Kenny Pollock, it’s as important to draw from the experiences of Josh Hull and Jamie Van Fleet as those of Jack Ham. Pollock, a Lake-Leh- Pollock man grad, enters his fourth season on the squad looking for more ways to contribute for the Nittany Lions. And a pair of fellow walk-on linebackers have provided some examples during his time on campus. Hull is something of an extreme example. At 6-foot-3, Hull had the frame to step in as a starting linebacker when major injuries struck, and he made the most of opportunity, starting for two seasons before being drafted by the St. Louis Rams. Just as relevant is the path taken by Van Fleet, who will also be a redshirt junior for the Lions this fall. While Van Fleet’s name has shown See POLLOCK, Page 5B

Approximately thirty fans converged at the River Grille to watch the United States stunned by Japan in a penalty shootout. Many were avid soccer fans donning U.S. jerseys, while others simply caught up in the game’s frenzy.

K-FF tops Moutain Top to stay alive By JOSH HORTON For The Times Leader

ARCHBALD -- Kingston/Forty-Fort failed to keep their opponent off the scoreboard in the opening game of the District 5 Little League Sectional Tournament. The second round game was much different. When faced with elimination, Kingston/Forty-Fort starting pitcher David McCue kept Mountain Top hitters in check and also added five RBI with his bat as he led his team to a 12-1 victory over Mountain Top. “I think the biggest thing was we were more loose in this game,” Kingston/Forty Fort manager Sean Judge said. “We were so uptight yesterday and we made a lot of errors, but we were much better today.” It didn’t take the Kingston/Forty-Fort offense long to take the lead. Sean Judge started the game with an infield single. See ALIVE, Page 4B

‘Normal bloke’ reigns as the champion at Royal St. George’s Northern Ireland’s Darren Clarke captures British Open crown by three strokes. By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

No matter. Clarke’s three-shot victory in the British Open was met with unending applause Sunday, the loudest saved for the closing ceremony when he was introduced as the champion golfer of the year. More than that, Clarke is a man of the people. “I’m a bit of a normal bloke, aren’t I?” Clarke said, the claret jug at his side. “I like to go to the pub and have a pint, fly home, buy everybody a drink, just normal. There’s not many airs and graces about me. I was a little bit more difficult to deal with in my earlier years, and I’ve mellowed some. Just a little bit. But I’m just a normal guy playing golf, having a bit of fun.” ASSOCIATED PRESS He was extraordinary at Royal St. George’s. Darren Clarke kisses the Claret Jug

SANDWICH, England — No matter how long it grows or even how quickly, the list of major champions from the tiny country of Northern Ireland just wouldn’t feel complete without Darren Clarke. He doesn’t have the majestic swing of Rory McIlroy or the putting prowess of Graeme McDowell, the last two U.S. Open champions.

Phillies stay hot by topping Mets The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Michael Martinez hit a three-run shot for his first major league homer to back a steady outing by Kyle Kendrick and lead Philadelphia past New York, 8-5, for its seventh straight series win Sunday. Kendrick (5-4) singled twice and scored on Martinez’s drive in the fifth inning off Mike Pelfrey (5-9). Martinez, a Rule 5 pick from Washington, added a sacrifice fly in the seventh for a career-high four RBIs. Ryan Howard hit a run-scoring single in the first and Philadelphia took two of three from the NL East rival Mets for the fourth time this season. Jimmy Rollins had a two-run single in a three-run eighth aided by Jason Bay’s error in left field and reliever Pedro Beato’s three walks. Reds 3, Cardinals 1

CINCINNATI — Zack Cozart hit his first major league homer on Sunday, and the Cincinnati Reds used a disputed call and a pair of wild pitches by Jaime Garcia to rally for a victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Giants 4, Padres 3

SAN DIEGO — Chris Stewart drove in the go-ahead run with a suicide squeeze in the 11th inning, then pounced on a bunt moments later to start a slick double play that helped San Francisco hold off San Diego. Braves 9, Nationals 8

ATLANTA — Freddie Freeman singled home the winning run in the ninth inning following an intentional walk, giving Atlanta a victory over Washington. Ryan Mattheus (2-1) walked pinch-hitter Brooks Conrad to

start the bottom of the ninth. With two outs, Martin Prado stole second and the Nationals issued an intentional walk to Brian McCann, who hit a three-run homer in the fifth. Brewers 4, Rockies 3

DENVER — Shaun Marcum tossed five solid innings before leaving with a strained neck and Milwaukee held off Colorado to win consecutive road games for the first time in six weeks. Rickie Weeks, Casey McGehee and Nyjer Morgan had two hits each for Milwaukee. The Brewers last won back-to-back road games when they swept a four-game series in Florida from June 3-6. Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 1

PHOENIX — Daniel Hudson threw a five-hitter, belted his first big league home run and finished with three RBIs, almost single-handedly leading Arizona past Los Angeles. Pirates 7, Astros 5

HOUSTON — Pinch-runner Josh Harrison scored on a passed ball for the first of Pittsburgh’s three runs in the 11th and rookie Alex Presley drove in his third run of the game later in the inning to lead the Pirates over mistake-prone Houston. Brandon Wood doubled to start the 11th and was replaced by Harrison. Xavier Paul reached on an error when Astros closer Mark Melancon (5-3) couldn’t handle his dribbler that sent Harrison to third. Marlins 7, Cubs 5

CHICAGO — Greg Dobbs hit a two-run homer and drove in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded walk in the eighth inning, leading Florida past Chicago.

Late-inning collapse costs Yanks vs. Mud Hens By JOHN WAGNER For The Times Leader

TOLEDO, Ohio – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees came within one out of splitting their four-game series against Toledo. But instead of getting that 27th out, the Yankees gave up a gametying home run to the Mud Hens’ Jeff Salazar in the bottom of the ninth, then surrendered a basesloaded walk with two outs in the bottom of the 11th to suffer a 7-6 loss Sunday. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre led 6-1 after five innings before the Mud

ninth before Salazar slammed a 3-1 pitch off the railing of the fence in right for his fourth home run of the season. “It gets me in trouble when I look to hit home runs,” Salazar admitted. “You don’t expect, and you don’t try for it. I was just trying to get on base and cause trouble. You hope he makes a mistake in the zone, and he challenged me with a fastball. “I cheated a little bit to try and barrel up his fastball. I thought I hit it well enough to get it out, but that corner plays tricks.”

The Mud Hens’ winning rally in the 11th came off reliever Eric Wordekemper, and it began when Argenis Diaz singled with one out. Then with two outs Ryan Strieby singled Diaz to third, and Salazar got ahead 3-1 before Wordekemper walked him intentionally to load the bases. Wordekemper threw a firstpitch strike to Danny Worth, then missed with the next four pitches to force home Diaz with the game-winning run. “You’re looking first for a good pitch to hit, and you know he

TOUR DE FRANCE

At least one Wyoming Valley American Legion League team will be playing for the Region 5 championship. That’s because Back Mountain and Plains each won their second round game on Sunday in the Region 5 Tournament and will square off today at 4:30 p.m. at Central Columbia High School in the tourney’s winner’s bracket final. Back Mountain defeated the defending regional champion Danville 23-10 at Bloomsburg University, while Plains took care of Canton 13-2 in seven innings at Central Columbia. Back Mountain beat Plains four times this season, including twice in the WVALL Tournament. The winner of today’s game will be in the catbird seat for the tournament being the only unbeaten team remaining in the event and will have to be defeated twice in two days to not claim the regional title. “We’re really excited to be in the spot we are,” Plains manager Don Stark said. “We lost to Back Mountain four times this year and we’re going to be looking to avenge those four losses.” Back Mountain (21-4) was led offensively by third baseman Steve Ruch, who was 5-for-6 on the afternoon, including a pair of home runs. He drove in five runs and scored four times. He is now 7-for-11in his two regional games. “I think he’s one of the best hitters I’ve ever seen and he’s a tremendous talent,” Back Mountain manager Tom Evans said about Ruch. The WVALL champions used a nine-run third inning to open a 9-2 lead over Danville, the Susquehanna Valley League champions. Danville closed the gap to 13-8 after five innings, making Evans nervous. But Back Mountain tallied four more in the seventh, one in the eighth and a fivespot in the top of the ninth to turn the game into a blowout. Ruch blasted a solo shot in the eighth and a two-run shot in the ninth. BMT catcher Paul Narcum added a three-run bomb in the ninth. “Taking a 13-run lead into the ninth, I felt better,” Evans added. “I thought we could get them out before they could score 13.” Deep Patel, Marc Noyalis and Josh Everett each had three hits for the winners, while Zack Yursha went 2-for-4. Noyalis joined Ruch with five RBI.

Voeckler doubts his chances at win By JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press

MONTPELLIER, France — Thomas Voeckler stayed with the big Tour de France favorites in the mountains. He’s had the lead for six days. And no less a cycling connoisseur than Lance Armstrong thinks the Frenchman could be wearing the yellow jersey when the race ends July 24 in Paris. The biggest doubter is Voeckler himself. “I will fight, of course, but I musn’t be dishonest,” Voeckler said after Sunday’s flat Stage 15, won by British sprint star Mark Cavendish. “I consider that I have zero percent chance of winning the Tour de France.” For many French fans, Voeckler has rekindled cautious optimism that cycling’s greatest prize could return home for the first time since 1985, the last of Bernard Hinault’s five victories. Voeckler’s retort: Don’t expect me to do it. “I don’t want to lie to the public,” he said. “Maybe it would make for good publicity, I don’t know, but it doesn’t interest me. ... I’m not going to announce to the French people that ’I’m in yellow, I have a chance to win.”’ Such humility has been virtually unheard of at cycling’s premier event in recent years. Riders like Armstrong or threetime champion Alberto Contador of Spain unabashedly bared their ambition from the outset. “It’s not a question of wanting. Everybody would like to win the Tour,” Voeckler said.

Hunter Maxwell then drew a walk, and McCue brought both Judge and Maxwell home with two-RBI single to center field. Later in the inning, Zack Sott singled in Matt Evans for the third and final run of the first inning. Kingston/Forty Fort’s lead was 3-0. Kingston/Forty Fort extended their lead to 4-0 in the top of the third. McCue led off the inning with a double to left-center field. He then advanced to third on a past ball. Evans drew a walk to give them runners on the corners

“It’s true that since Bernard Hinault, the French people want a winner. I really sense it well.” Voeckler leads Frank Schleck of Luxembourg by 1 minute, 49 seconds, and Cadel Evans of Australia is third, 2:06 back. Schleck’s younger brother, Andy, is 2:15 behind in fourth and Ivan Basso of Italy is fifth — 3:16 behind off the pace. Contador is seventh, four minutes behind. Voeckler doesn’t expect to hold off probable attackers in two punishing days in the Alps on Thursday and Friday, each featuring uphill finishes. Then, on Saturday, there’s a final individual time trial — a discipline in which he isn’t among the best — in and around Grenoble. The race ends next Sunday. For the most part, the running commentary this year has been that Contador, two-time runners-up Evans and Andy Schleck, plus Basso have yet to go at each other. Voeckler, in a way, has been cast as just a bump in their road. But after three days in the Pyrenees, the main contenders are taking the Frenchman seriously. “Voeckler is in incredible form,” said Contador, who has increasingly used mind games since winning the Tour in 2007 and the last two years. “He has a big lead. It will be hard to make that up.” Evans calls the overall standings “a bit strange.” “I think people still look at the Schleck brothers as favorites, but they’re two minutes down. ... So it’s still about Voeckler for now.” with nobody out. After the first pitch Evans was thrown out trying to steal second base, but McCue scored from third on the throw to second base. Kingston/Forty-Fort put the game out of reach by scoring eight runs with two outs in the top of the fourth inning. Josh Moses started the rally by reaching first after being hit by a pitch. He then moved over to third on a double off the bat of Judge. Maxwell then drew a walk to load the bases. McCue made them pay with a bases clearing double to center field. Later in the inning, Evans singled to give Kingston/Forty-Fort runners on the corners. Eric Latoski made it a 9-0 ball game with

LOUDON, N.H. — Ryan Newman had his boss on his back and felt pressure to deliver a top performance. Might make an office drone squirm in a cubical. Not on the track, where there was no other driver Newman would rather see behind him than Tony Stewart. The owner-employee dynamic was simply teammate-teammate for 301 laps at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Newman held off Stewart, his boss and teammate, to win his first race of the season Sunday and make it a 1-2 start and finish for Stewart-Haas Racing. “This is huge for our team, even bigger for our organization,” Newman said. Newman and Stewart made it the first front-row start for SHR in qualifying Friday and they followed up with first- and secondplace finishes for the first time on race day. It was a banner weekend for SHR, and Newman and Stewart have jostled themselves in position to qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Even the usually gruff Stewart, his dark humor still on display, enjoyed this celebration. “This was a perfect weekend,” he said. It was needed, too. Newman won for the first time since April 2010 in Phoenix and Stewart earned only his second top-five of the season. It was a pair of near-flawless runs for the drivers as they gear up for a championship run. Stewart joked that he asked for just one day where something didn’t go wrong with the race teams. They got it on a day when only four of the top-10 drivers in the points standings had a top-10 finish. “It’s no secret we’ve been struggling this year,” Stewart said. “But it really shows me the depth of the people we got in our organization. It’s been one of the weirdest years as far as weird things and bad luck happening to both of us.” Newman became the 13th different winner in Sprint Cup this year, matching the total from last season after only 19 of 36 races. Only seven races remain until the Chase field is set.

NFL LABOR DISPUTE

Source: Judge expected at talks Talks to end the NFL lockout will resume with the court-appointed mediator in New York on Monday and could continue through Thursday, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on Sunday on condition of anonymity, because the discussions are supposed to remain confidential. The mediator, U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, originally had ordered representatives of the league’s owners and players to meet with him Tuesday in Minneapolis. Now Boylan is expected to arrive in New York on Monday to oversee talks aimed at ending the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987. The owners have a special meeting set for Thursday in Atlanta, where they potentially could ratify a new deal — if one is reached by then. Any agreement

also must be voted on by groups of players, including the named plaintiffs in a federal antitrust suit against the league, and the NFL Players Association’s 32 team representatives. More than four months into the lockout, owners and players have made significant progress on the framework of an agreement. But re-establishing the union and figuring out what it will take for nine NFL players — including star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees — to settle that antitrust suit are among key issues blocking a deal to end the lockout, people familiar with the negotiations told the AP on condition of anonymity. The unresolved matters also include how the TV networks case, in which the players accused the owners of setting up “lockout insurance,” will be settled.

an RBI single to center. Sott kept the hit train rolling with a single of his own, and Davis Weaver then crushed a two–RBI double to leftcenter. He then scored on a past ball later in the inning to complete the eight run top of the fourth. Connor Shekoski and Lance Blass started the bottom of the fourth with back-to-back singles for Mountain Top. McCue then got the next two batters out. However, Kyle Richards then drew a walk to load the bases with two outs in the inning. Jim Albee then hit an RBI single to put Mountaintop on the board. Moutain Top would not get any closer as Matt Evans struck out the final Mountain Top hitter.

McCue was the winning pitcher for Kingston/Forty-Fort. He went 3 2/3 innings allowing just one run on four hits. He struck out three and walked just one Mountain Top hitter. He was also 3-3 at the plate. “I definitely expected that type of performance from David (McCue),” Judge said. “The last two games he has pitched so well and he did a great job for us today on the mound as well as the plate.” Kingtston/Forty-Fort will play in the losers’ bracket final game tomorrow evening. First pitch is scheduled for 5:30. They will play the loser of yesterday’s second round game between Abington National and Archbald.

up on the team’s depth chart at linebacker before, his biggest impact came on special teams. Van Fleet scooped up a blocked punt and returned it for a score in the second half of a tie game against Indiana in November, giving the Lions the lead for good. “Hopefully this year I’ll break into (special teams) more than I have been,” Pollock said. “I’ll take anything I can get for some playing time. Special teams, wherever I’m needed to help out.” That’s a credo the Pollock has followed in his first three years at Penn State, doing the majority of his work on the scout-team while shuffling around between all three linebacker positions. Such was the case in spring practice, which features little work on special teams. Pollock said he prefers playing the weakside spot, where he can draw from his experience playing safety for the Black Knights. “At the beginning of the spring, I was playing all three linebacker spots but at the end I was playing mostly just weakside linebacker,” Pollock said. “That’s hopefully where I’ll be at the beginning of the season. That’s what’s familiar for me, and that’s where I’m most comfortable.” Of course, having a position coach like Ron Vanderlinden doesn’t hurt the adjustment process. “Kenny has a great attitude about (working with the scout team),” Vanderlinden said of

been given.” This was Japan’s first appearance in the final of a major tournament, and they had not beaten the Americans in their first 25 meetings, including a pair of 2-0 losses in warm-up games a month before the World Cup. But the Nadeshiko pushed ahead, playing inspired soccer and hoping their success could provide even a small emotional lift to their nation, still reeling from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that devastated the northern coast of the country and left nearly 23,000 dead or missing. After each game, the team unfurled a banner saying, “To our Friends Around the World — Thank You for Your Support.” On Sunday, they did it before the match and afterward they had a new sign to display: Champions — and the first Asian country to win this title. The Americans found it all too hard to grasp. They believed they were meant to be World Cup champions after their rocky year — needing a playoff to qualify, a loss in group play to Sweden, the epic comeback against Brazil. They simply couldn’t pull off one last thriller. “The players were patient, they wanted to win this game,” Sasaki said. “I think it’s because of that the Americans scored only two goals.” While Japan celebrated at midfield, the Americans stood as a group and watched. “There are really no words,” Abby Wambach said. “We were so close.”

Minutes, in fact. After Wambach scored in the 104th minute of overtime to give the Americans a 2-1 lead, Homare Sawa flicked in a corner kick in the 117th to tie it. It was the fifth goal of the tournament for Sawa, who was playing in her fifth World Cup. “We ran and ran,” Sawa said. “We were exhausted, but we kept running.” The Americans had beaten Brazil on penalty kicks in a quarterfinal, but they didn’t have the same touch Sunday. Give Kaihori credit for some of that. Shannon Boxx took the first U.S. shot, and it banged off Kaihori’s right leg as she dove. After Aya Miyama made her penalty, Carli Lloyd stepped up and sent her shot soaring over the crossbar. As the crowd gasped, Lloyd covered her mouth in dismay. Solo saved Japan’s next shot, but Kaihori made an impressive two-handed save on a shot by Tobin Heath. “This is a team effort,” Kaihori said. “In the penalty shootout I just had to believe in myself and I was very confident.” Solo came up with a save, and Wambach buried her penalty kick. But Japan need to make just one more, and Saki Kumagai did. “It’s tough to do two rounds of penalties,” Wambach said. “The keeper knows in a lot of ways where we’re going to go. She made some great saves.” It’s been 12 years since the United States has won the World Cup, and this team was certain they were the ones to break the drought. They’d needed to beat Italy in a two-game playoff just to get into the World Cup, then lost two games in a three-month span, an unusual

Gerri Martin, of Mountain Top, was one of many local residents who never enjoyed the sport but found herself enthralled by the Yanks’ run. Martin started following the team on July 10 when she happened to turn on the United States’ quarterfinal match against Brazil, unaware the World Cup was in progess. She watched the U.S. score in the 122th minute and advance with a stunning shootout victory. “By a fluke, there was nothing else on,” said Martin. “I got caught

up. “That game was just amazing. The USA had such a good group of girls. These girls have such great personalities.” Later, Martin sank her head with the rest of the crowd when the Americans missed their first three penalty shots. “We came here for my birthday but it was great watching it with these young soccer fans.” Like soccer’s new converts, its die-hard fans in attendance were also disappointed after the loss. “Japan hung around a little bit

too long,” said Patrick Lenahan, of Wilkes-Barre. “It’s a tough pill to swallow.” Lenahan, like many of the soccer fanatics, thought that the Americans’ squandered opportunities in the first half would come back to haunt them later. He said the difference in the game was that the momentum changed in the Japanese favor for the penalty shots. “You can tell if they are going to make (the penalty shot) or not,” said Lenahan. “There wasn’t a lot of confidence in our penalty shooters.”

Mickelson would finish tied with Dustin Johnson, three shots back. Instead of getting his name on the Open trophy, he got it on a silver tray. I’m certainly disappointed that I didn’t come out on top,” said Mickelson, veering off his fun theme for only a moment. “I felt like the claret jug was right there to be had.” About the only consolation to Mickelson is that he hadn’t had that feeling at the British very often. His record here is his worst at any of the majors, with only two top 10s in 17 tries. He’s never won a British or a U.S. Open, though now he can add his second place finish to his five runner-ups in the other Open. Overall, Mickelson has 17 top-3 finishes in 76 major championships, with three Masters titles and one PGA Championship to show for it. He didn’t talk about all the close calls afterward, preferring instead to focus on what he said was a new attitude where he tries to be upbeat and have as much fun as possible on the golf course. He believes his game has suffered in recent years because he hasn’t done that, though he’s also had to deal with his wife, Amy, undergoing treatment for

breast cancer at the same time. Mickelson said earlier in the week he was hitting the ball better than he ever had before, and he lurked around par through the first three rounds. But while he’s usually a focal point in big tournaments, no one paid him much attention until he came out and shot 30 on the front nine of a course that’s hard to play even in the best conditions. That he couldn’t get it done was partly because he began pressing when he saw Clarke wasn’t going to fade. While the birdies came easily early when the lead was far away, they were nowhere to be found when he started hunting for them later. “I had to start trying to make birdies, and that’s when I ended up making a couple bogeys,” Mickelson said. If Mickelson couldn’t win, he was happy that Clarke could. Mickelson and his wife held hands in solidarity with Clarke at the 2006 Ryder Cup closing ceremony in Ireland after the death of his wife, Heather.

And there’s times I’ve been completely and utterly fed up with the game.” The advice from friends, family and agent Chubby Chandler were always the same. “Get out there and practice and keep going, keep going, keep going,” Clarke said. “And that’s why I’m sitting here now.” With a one-shot lead over Johnsongoingintothefinalround,there was a sense that Clarke wouldn’t be able to hold up. But he holed a 12-

foot par putt on the first, a downhill 8-footer for par on the third. A 20foot eagle putt on the seventh, not long after Mickelson made eagle to tie him, gave Clarke the lead for good. Northern Ireland had gone 63 years — since Fred Daly in the1947 British Open — without winning a major. Now it has three of the last six. “Northern Ireland...... Golf capital of the world!!” McIlroy tweeted as Clarke played the last hole. “We’re blessed to have two fantastic players in Rory and GMac, and I’ve just come along, the only guy coming along behind them,” Clarke said. “We have fantastic golf courses,wehavefantasticfacilities, but to have three major champions from a little, small place in a short period of time, it’s just incredible.”

After Abby Wambach gave the Americans a 2-1lead in extra time, nearly the entire restaurant – patrons, bartenders, cooks and a nearby bachelorette party, alike – cheered in elation. “I just wanted the USA to win,” said Bart Young, of Wilkes-Barre. “I get into any international competition, doesn’t matter if it’s ping pong, soccer or curling.”

A cigarette curled under his fingers as he barreled down the fairways, Clarke held off brief challenges from Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson and held up under the pressure until no one could catch him. Mickelson,whoneededonlyseven holes to make up a five-shot deficit, stepped aside by missing too manyshortputts.Johnson,inthefinal group of a major for the third time in the last six, made another blunder with a major at stake. This time, he was two shots behind on the par-514th, tried to lay up with a 2-iron and hit it out-of-bounds to make double bogey.

They shared second place, stretching the American drought to six straight majors without winning. Despite meaningless bogeys on the last two holes, Clarke closed with an even-par 70. “Pretty amazing right now,” Clarkesaid.“It’sbeenadreamsince I’ve been a kid to win the Open, like any kid’s dream is, and I’m able to do it, which just feels incredible.” The weather was so wild that heavy rain switched over to sunshine, back and forth all afternoon, in a relentless wind. Clarke was steady through it all, never allowing himself to think about what it mean to hold the claret jug until he stepped onto the 18th green. Clarke removed his visor to salute the gallery. His hair is almost all gray now, the result of a 42-year-

After easy wins in their first two games in Germany, the Americans lost to Sweden — their first loss ever in World Cup group play. But they rallied with one of the most riveting finishes ever in a World Cup game — men’s or women’s — against Brazil in the quarterfinals. Down a player for almost an hour and on the verge of making their earliest exit ever from a major tournament, Abby Wambach’s magnificent, leap-

ing header in the 122nd minute tied the game. The Americans beat Brazil on penalty kicks and, just like that, a nation was hooked. Hollywood celebrities, pro athletes, even folks who don’t know a bicycle kick from a Schwinn were captivated by the U.S. women and charmed by their grit and can-do attitude that is uniquely — proudly — American. Even President Barack Obama was a fan, taking to Twitter himself on Sunday morning to wish the team well.

POLLOCK

Pollock’s first few years on campus. “He has really improved measurably since he’s been here. Great team guy.” Pollock credits the former Maryland head coach with much of his development. Heading into the 2011 campaign, Pollock said Vanderlinden has talked with him about improving technique. “Basically just using my hands more to get off blocks better,” Pollock said. “That’s always an ongoing process for pretty much every defensive player when you get to the higher levels of football. It’s such a big change from what you can do in high school just with brute strength.” Though the spotlight hasn’t hit Pollock yet, this past year he still got a firsthand view of how it works. A roommate of Matt McGloin’s for three years, Pollock got to know the West Scranton grad and his family before McGloin took over as the Lions’ starting quarterback last October. McGloin came to Penn State as a preferred walk-on the same year as Pollock and the District 2 alums got to see the ups-anddowns of major college football. McGloin led the team to an improbable comeback for Joe Paterno’s 400th career win one week and had two interceptions returned for touchdowns the next. “I don’t think he could be prepared for this experience, no matter how much he thought about it coming in,” Pollock said. “It’s just a grueling, grueling time. But it’s well worth it. “You rely on your family and friends if you’re having a tough time. It’s about putting good people around you to get through it.”

ALMANAC Recorded at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Int’l Airport River Levels, from 12 p.m. yesterday.

So far this summer has been pretty tame in terms of heat. This week will change all of that. Temperatures will hit the 90s for several days, including the forecast high of 90 today. That will seem like child’s play late in the week when the heat (along with the humidity) may top out into the mid 90s. It’s all thanks to an area of high pressure setting up shop across the western Atlantic Ocean. The “Bermuda High,” as it’s often called, has been a rarity this year, but will reside there for the foreseeable future, pumping hot and humid air up the East Coast. Showers and storms may pop up.

MONDAY, JULY 18, 2011 PAGE 5C

Not-so-friendly Facebook post might prompt family debtors to pay up Dear Abby: I loaned money to a couple of family members when I was overseas. They had fallen behind on their bills, so I sent them each $1,000 to get

caught up. It’s two years later, and I have yet to see a dime from either one of them. I have sent them both letters asking to have “some” money paid back; both sent me excuses about why they can’t pay anything. However, on Facebook they write about how they went shopping, joined a gym and so on. What can I do to get this settled? — Taken Advantage of in Minnesota Dear Taken Advantage Of: Try this

DEAR ABBY ADVICE ... post on your Facebook page: “It’s funny what short memories some people have. I loaned ‘Tom’ and ‘Geri’ $1,000 two years ago when they fell behind on some bills. Instead of repayment, I have received nothing but excuses — and all the while I see their postings about shopping at the mall and going to the gym. What DEADBEATS!” Maybe it will shame your relatives into paying up. Dear Abby: Do I have to stop wearing my wedding ring? My husband died three years ago. We had been

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

married 53 years and 12 days. Abby, I pledged “until death do us part.” I just can’t seem to make myself take off the ring he put on my finger so many years ago. I’m tired of being told that I “have” to give up something so precious to me. Is there a time limit, or is it OK for me to go ahead with wearing the ring and ignore the people who pester me about taking it off? Maybe a time will come when I’ll want to, but not now, not yet. Please give me some sound advice. — Arizona Widow Dear Widow: Please accept my sympathy for your loss. Widows and widowers usually remove their wedding ring at the point when they decide they would like to begin dating again.

CRYPTOQUOTE

When they do, some of them choose to move the ring from their left to the right hand. Others put it away as a treasured keepsake. There is no set time at which your wedding ring “must” come off. If and when you feel the time is right, it will happen — or not. Dear Abby: I’m 15 years old, and I’m afraid to kiss! I won’t date anyone because I’m afraid my kiss will suffer by comparison. I know no one becomes an expert without practice, but I don’t want anyone to be my first kiss. Several guys are into me, but I can’t date them because eventually they’ll want to kiss. It would be so embarrassing to be horrible at it. Any advice? — Too Freaked Out to Make Out

Dear Freaked Out: Kissing isn’t a competitive sport, so stop worrying that you won’t measure up. A kiss doesn’t have to be the way it’s portrayed in the movies, with heavy breathing and mouths agape. Whether a guy wants to kiss you isn’t as important as whether you WANT him to kiss you. If you do, all you have to do is close your eyes, tilt your head a bit to the side and lean in. He will take care of the rest.

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 know how to deal with passionate, intemperate people, and you’ll use this knowledge to succeed. You’ll read the signs and stay your distance until you feel kindness beckoning you forward. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some are content to kill time, but you will strive for a much more amicable arrangement. You want time to favor you, to stop for you once in a while, and of course, you want to be able to borrow from it when you come up short. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll have a grievance or two. Some of the people around you need a wakeup call, and you’re the alarm clock. Once you get a few things off your chest, you’ll enjoy yourself much better. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Let the little joys add up while you let the little disappointments slip into the cracks. This is pretty easy. All you have to do is catch the joys and hold on to them so that your hands are too full to clasp any negativity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You sometimes equate wealth with hard work, but the reality is that often it doesn’t happen that way at all. Stay open to the possibility that good fortune may come without effort. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your body may send you signals that are more intelligent than those your mind sends. You will stumble upon an arrangement that is a perfect fit for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re very independent now, and you refuse to get carried away with anyone else’s ideology. The oth-

ers want you on their side, but you feel an even stronger calling to do your own thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Busy people are the toughest to attract. Whether the relationship is business or personal, the rule is the same: The other person has to have room for you; otherwise, it won’t work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Visit face to face whenever possible. You never know where the conversation will lead. You’ll likely wind up doing something that’s slightly out of character for you but so much fun! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a personal stake in what you’re doing. As for the others, they may need help getting involved. Invite them to increase their level of participation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Malls and casinos are purposely designed for visitors to get lost in them. This day will seem similarly patterned to delight, distract and tempt you away from your original plans. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may rise with a conflict already brewing in the recesses of your mind. Two ideas are at war with each other. You always have a right to adapt and change your position. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 18). You quickly learn what you need to learn in order to make a situation work. This may mean communicating differently with someone or adding new skills to your arsenal. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 15, 49, 11 and 26.
