Slaying of teenager decried as ‘senseless’

The former Kingston resident was gunned down in front of his home in York. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

YORK – Friends of a 19-yearold former Kingston man who police say was fatally shot outside his home in York by a 15year-old boy decried the senselessness of the killing on Thursday. Anthony Sharkus Wasilewski died Wednesday afternoon after, police say, he was shot by Jacquez Brown following an argument at around 2:27 p.m. Brown barricaded himself in a nearby house after the shooting, but surrendered a short time later. Wasilewski, known as “To- Wasilewski ny” to his Taken from Facebook friends, graduated from Wyoming Valley West High School in 2010. Several of his friends said they were in disbelief Brown regarding the Courtesy of The York circumstances Daily Record surrounding his death. “I can’t believe something so senseless. A 15-year-old shoots him for no reason,” said 15-yearold Morgan Hanadel. “He didn’t deserve this at all.” Hanadel said Wasilewski spent a lot of time at her home last year. “He was like a big brother to me,” she said. “He’d help me with anything. He would give you the shirt off his back and more.” Former classmates described Wasilewski as a caring, outgoing person who had a knack for bringing a smile to anyone’s face, no matter how bad their day was going. Derek Reisinger, 18, said he has known Wasilewski since they were in grade school. He said he last spoke to him about a week ago. “He was outgoing, smart, funny. You just loved being around him,” Reisinger said. “If I was in a bad mood, he was so funny, he’d make you laugh.” Wasilewski was also a talented See SHOOTING, Page 6A

When Steve Flood suffered a stroke in 2007, Dr. Janusz Wolanin asked him if he wanted to live. Flood, a former Luzerne County controller who is credited by many for initiating the federal corruption probe that led to charges against two once-powerful county judges and several others, couldn’t speak after the stroke but responded to Wolanin’s question with a smile. Wolanin, of Kingston, asked

Flood the same question when he recently suffered a second stroke that led to paralysis, and Flood answered by closFlood ing his eyes. “I knew,” the doctor said during Flood’s funeral Thursday morning at the Mamary-Durkin Funeral Service in Wilkes-Barre. But Wolanin told the roughly 100 funeral attendees that he believes his friend’s parting was peaceful because he died with a smile on his face. Wolanin recalled funny memories, such as the time he and Flood spent about 10 hours eat-

Flood wanted to help county residents when he served as county controller from 2002 through 2005, the doctor said. “Unfortunately, in his death they finally recognize his great achievement,” Wolanin said. “He was a clown to many of them initially, and now he’s the prince.” Pittston resident Vernon Jones told the group he met Flood during the controller race, and Flood inspired him to “make a difference.” “He took on challenges that just defied explanation, which speaks to the character of the See FLOOD, Page 6A

Affidavit: Trooper’s alcohol level high Bernerd Kizis, 47, had a blood alcohol level of 0.361 after crash July 1, documents say. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

FAIRVIEW TWP. – A state police trooper had a blood-alcohol level more than four times the legal limit when he was involved in a two-car crash, according to an arrest affidavit. Bernerd Kizis, 47, of Mountain Top, was charged last week with

drunken driving in connection with a July 1 crash that occurred at 4:20 a.m. at South Mountain Boulevard and Elm Street. According to the affidavit, Kizis was northbound on South Mountain Boulevard in a 2010 Hummer H3 when he struck the rear of a 1998 Toyota 4 Runner driven by Virgilio Lopez-Martinez that was stopped at a traffic light at Elm Street. Fairview Township police officer Kevin Stahley said Kizis, who had a strong odor of alcohol and severely slurred speech, admit-

Appraiser defends meter site By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – Property owners near a proposed metering site off Hildebrandt Road would not need to worry about the devaluation of property once the site is constructed, according to a real estate expert who testified on behalf of Chief Gathering LLC at a zoning hearing Thursday evening. Real estate agent and appraiser John Coyle III, of Coyle, Lynch and Co., testified on behalf of Chief to determine whether aspects of the township zoning ordinance worked in accordance with the project, including whether the project is compatible with the characterization of the community, whether the project would cause devaluation of property and if the project would cause injurious harm to the public interest. Coyle found the proposed metering station, to be built about 1,300 feet from the four Dallas schools, to not affect any of those categories. He also said the infrastructure of roads would not

be significantly impacted by the construction, operation and maintenance of the site. He found this to be true by comparing Dallas Township to similar communities within the state. Coyle said he studied sites within Middletown Township and Brookhaven Borough in Delaware County, where housing developments, schools and commercial businesses are located near the Transco interstate pipeline. A future hearing will be scheduled to give opposing attorneys and the public a chance to crossexamine Coyle. Ted Wurfel, vice president of environmental, regulatory and safety affairs for Chief, said that while Transco does monitor the measurements collected at the site and a valve into which the natural gas flows into the Transco line from the metering station, Chief is in charge of the site’s pipeline integrity program and maintenance of the site.

Stahley said Kizis told him “he will remember this and so will his fellow troopers and that I should watch my back,” the affidavit says. The blood alcohol test revealed Kizis had a level of 0.361 percent. The legal limit for an adult driver in Pennsylvania is 0.08 percent. Kizis has been placed on restricted duty pending the out-

come of the criminal charges and an internal investigation that’s being conducted by state police, said Trooper Tom Kelly, spokesman for state police. The charges mark the second time that Kizis, who formerly served as a state police fire marshal, has been in trouble with the law. In November 2006 Kizis was cited by the Pennsylvania Game Commission for illegally killing a bear. He later pleaded guilty to illegally hunting in a safety zone and unlawfully killing an animal.

Palka said the men were in the vehicle for about three minutes, when one got out as another vehicle pulled into the lot. The driver of the approaching Jeep Grand Cherokee and one of the men met behind another vehicle, and Palka said he witnessed a hand-to-hand exchange. Two other officers assisted Palka and approached the two

men and told them Palka had witnessed one of them purchase drugs. When the man in the Jeep, later identified as Santos, got out of the vehicle, police said, he dropped two bags of suspected cocaine. Police said Sanchez, who initially identified himself as Marvin Garcia, was found to be in possession of two small bags with red dice on the front, which contained suspected marijuana. After fingerprinting, it was determined he was a wanted person in Georgia, police said. Police said Jackson sold the marijuana to Sanchez. Jackson was found in possession of $15 cash and a folded $1 bill containing suspected marijuana, the criminal complaint says. Jackson later told police Sanchez called him and asked him to get some marijuana. Jackson said he met Sanchez at Le Cabaret and gave him the marijuana in the parking lot.

Diocese against donations

The Diocese of Scranton issued a statement Thursday advising members not to donate money directly to priests who had returned to their native India after serving here. The statement notes several priests from the Diocese of Nellore, India, have been soliciting such funds to subsidize ministries upon their return to that country. “The Diocese of Scranton strictly forbids and does not authorize any priest to make a personal request for funds,” the statement notes. “Additionally, the Bishop of the Diocese of Nellore asks that any donation be used to support the general ministry of the Diocese of Nellore and not an individual priest.” The statement expresses gratitude for the service of the Indian priests, but adds, “care must also be taken to ensure that the generosity of members of the faithful is protected.” HARRISBURG

KINGSTON – Wearing a form-fitting gray dress and a pair of designer heels, Joanne Chmiola will be strutting down the runway at The Woodlands on Sunday to ZZ Top’s “She’s Got Legs” with swagger and attitude. The confidence that the 45-year-old hair stylist will likely show comes not just from having worked behind the scenes at last year’s inaugural fashion event, nor just her looks and talent. Chmiola is a cancer survivor, as are all of the 16 “models” who will be making their marks on the catwalk at The Center for Cancer Wellness: Candy’s Place Summer Fashion Show and Luncheon Benefit 2. Owner of Shear Attractions in Plains Township, Chmiola volunteered her time and talents styling the hair of last year’s models and, this year, decided to participate as one of the models in appreciation for all the center has done for her. “The support they’ve given me is phenomenal, so of course I like to give back to them as much as possible,” Chmiola said as she and fellow models tried on outfits on Tuesday at Shooze.

Griffith said he will not allow any money to be transferred into the fund and said the warden must present payment authorization or purchase orders to receive money or pay vendors. County Commissioner Stephen A. Urban said he supports creation of the fund because the county does not have credit cards to pay for minor emergency expenses. “I trust the warden.

Luzerne County’s common level ratio is 100.4 for the year 2010 – the closest to 100 of all 67 counties. Clinton County came in second, at 98.9. Like Luzerne, Clinton County performed a countywide reassessment that took effect in 2009. “I think this statistical indicator shows another reassessment is not warranted at this point. How close can you get to 100 percent?” said county Assessment Office Director Tony Alu. Commissioners had passed a resolu-

Korean War event inside

Due to the oppressive heat, the ceremony to commemorate the 58th anniversary of the end of the Korean War will be held inside the Luzerne County Courthouse, North River Street, at 11 a.m. Saturday. The event is being conducted by the Korean War Veterans Association of Wyoming Valley and will feature Dr. Jere Packard, a Marine Corps veteran and past president of Wyoming Seminary Preparatory School, as the principal speaker. Special remarks will be provided by Vince Riccardo, staff assistant to the director of the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Plains Township. The ceremony will pay homage to POWs, the wounded and the 142 servicemen from Luzerne County who were killed in action during the three-year “Forgotten War,” as well as the 33 soldiers from the 109th Field Artillery, Pennsylvania National Guard, who were en route for deployment when killed in a train wreck in Ohio.

Motorcycle toy run set

The inaugural motorcycle toy run will be held Saturday to benefit the Salvation Army Christmas Programs. Last year the Salvation Army provided 1,700 local children with gifts. Participants will gather at The Salvation Army at 17 S. Pennsylvania Ave., at 1 p.m. to register and drop off their toy donations. At 2 p.m.. everyone will mount their bikes and leave for a three-hour trip through Luzerne County ending at Rob’s Pub and Grub in Larksville. The halfway point will be at Banko’s Seafood Restaurant in West Nanticoke. At the finish of the run there will be food, drink specials and entertainment sponsored by Rob’s Pub and Grub. Santa will be at The Salvation Army to accept the gifts and send the riders on their way. “This will be a fun event, and help The Salvation Army at the same time,” said Capt. Doug Richwine. The cost is $15 for drivers and $10 for passengers. New toys or monetary donations are accepted at registration. For more information, contact Jennifer Reich, at (570) 262-2724.

ered acceptable if the ratio is anywhere from 85 to 115. Luzerne County’s common level ratio was a severely out-ofwhack 7.3 in 2008, when the county was operating on the 1965 tax base. The county’s ratio was 99.7 for the year 2009. Luzerne County’s new 100.4 ratio may mean more properties are selling below assessments, Alu said. The opposite is true when ratios start dipping below 100 percent, a sign that sales prices are exceeding assessments. Another countywide reassessment could end up lowering some

property assessments due to the struggling real estate market. However, Alu cautioned that property owners would likely end up paying the same or more in property taxes – even if their assessments were lowered – because taxing bodies would still need to generate the same amount of tax revenue after reassessment. “Unless taxing bodies lowered their budgets, the millage rates would have to rise to compensate for the lower assessed values,” Alu said. The county provides the state board with a report on all sales that occurred within the county for the analysis, with the exception of $1 transactions between family members and companies. The board then completes its own audit of the sales data before calculating the ratio, Alu said.

Among the advantages, Baldino said Vinsko will have more time to establish name recognition with the voters, to raise money, and to practice campaigning. “For example, voters want lower federal taxes yet maintain Social Security and Medicare at current levels. Vinsko will have time to hone his message and practice reacting to audiences both friendly and not so friendly,” he said.

Sosar said the early entry will enable voters to take notice of Vinsko’s candidacy and it gives Vinsko time to start raising money and get his name in front of people. Vinsko said the reaction to his candidacy has been mostly positive. He said he heard Thursday

Stange, of Barletta’s campaign, took it all with a grain of salt. “We’ve heard all of this before Congressman Barletta voted to reduce billions of dollars in federal spending and before he voted to repeal Obamacare,” Stange said. “Right now, Rep. Barletta is working to resolve the debt ceiling crisis, so he’s focused on the future of our country, not politics.”

At Mission Control in Houston, the viewing room was filled with former flight directors and their families. It was, said NASA mission commentator Rob Navias as Atlantis burned through the atmosphere on its final descent, a "day of mixed emotions." The shuttle program rang up many successes, topped by the construction of the International Space Station.

The Pentagon announcement is expected today, and Obama is expected to endorse it.

Phone ‘pinging’ new probe With Britain still coming to terms with the illegal voicemail interception at one of its biggest newspapers, Scotland Yard was asked Thursday to look into an even more intrusive technique: “pinging.” A member of the board that oversees London’s police force has asked it to investigate claims that News of the World reporters paid officers to obtain people’s locations by tracking their cell phone signals — a practice known as “pinging” because of how cell phones signals bounce or “ping” off relay towers as they try to find reception. Jenny Jones, a Green Party member of the Metropolitan Police Authority, cited claims that reporters at the nowdefunct tabloid were able to trace mobile phones in return for payments to corrupt police officers.

States say no to ‘No Child’ At least three states are vowing to ignore the latest requirements under the No Child Left Behind law in an act of defiance against the federal government that demonstrates their growing frustration over an education program they say sets unrealistic benchmarks for schools. The law sets a goal of having 100 percent of students proficient in math and reading by 2014, but states were allowed to establish how much schools must improve each year. Many states saved the biggest leaps for the final years, anticipating the law would be changed. But it hasn’t, and states such as Idaho, Montana and South Dakota are preparing to reject the latest requirements for determining school progress under the 9-year-old law — even if the move toward noncompliance may put them at risk of losing some federal funding. More states could follow in seeking relief from the federal requirements. DUBLIN

Vatican confronted on abuse The Irish are broadly lauding this week’s thunderbolt from Prime Minister Enda Kenny, who denounced the Vatican’s role in the past 17 years of child abuse cover-up scandals. He accused the Holy See of downplaying “the rape and torture of children” and hiding behind its status as a sovereign state with its own secrecyobsessed canon laws. Even Ireland’s priests voiced support for Kenny’s attack on the Vatican. The rising church-state conflict in Ireland reflects a generation of dynamic change in this country of 4.5 million, more than 85 percent of whom identify themselves as Catholic on the census — but fewer than half of whom attend weekly Mass today.

BOSTON — When the glow fades for those couples planning to wed Sunday when gay marriage becomes legal in New York, they will see a new reality: They won’t be getting the same benefits as heterosexual couples. Among the 1,000 or so benefits they can’t get because of the federal Defense of Marriage Act are the ability to file joint federal tax returns, get federal health plans for spouses and access spouses’ federal pensions. “Let them enjoy their joy, but they will soon realize that their marriage is not being seen equally at the federal level,” said Dorene Bowe-Shul-

man, who married her longtime partner, Mary, in 2004 in Massachusetts, the first state to legalize gay marriage. New York’s law takes effect at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, with the state where the gay rights movement began more than 40 years ago joining five other states and the District of Co-

lumbia in legalizing same-sex marriage. While many married gay couples are hoping for the repeal of the 1996 law, known as DOMA, the measure’s supporters are pushing back, arguing that marriage is a union between a man and a woman and that repeal would

violate the views of most Americans. As gay couples prepare for their weddings in New York, the largest state yet to legalize same-sex marriage, their counterparts in Massachusetts are telling them that their push for equal rights doesn’t end with the ability to get married. For Al Koski and Jim Fitzgerald, the law has taken away their retirement security. Koski, 68, worked as a Social Security claims representative for more than 20 years before retiring in 2005. Koski and Fitzgerald have been together for 36 years and were legally married in Massachusetts in 2007. Fitzgerald, 60, cannot access Koski’s federal pension. Under DOMA, Fitzgerald cannot get the lifetime health insurance coverage that heterosexual spouses of federal employees receive automatically.

WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner predicted Thursday that a majority of House Republicans will end up supporting some kind of compromise as the Senate began debating a House-passed effort to tie an increase in the debt ceiling to conservative demands for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. Majority Leader Harry Reid,DNev., called up the measure to placate Republicans demanding a vote. But he said it “doesn’t have one chance in a million of passing the Senate.” At a news Boehner conference, Boehner told reporters, “Frankly, I think it would be irresponsible on behalf of the Congress and the president not to be looking at back-up strategies for how to solve this problem.” “At the end of the day, we have a responsibility to act,” he said. Asked whether GOP lawmakers supporting the House “cut, cap and balance” debt limit measure would be unwilling to ultimately compromise, Boehner said, “I’m sure we’ve got some members who believe that, but I do not believe that would be anywhere close to the majority.” Meanwhile, White House spokesman Jay Carney reported little progress from private meetings President Barack Obama held Wednesday with Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and separately with congressional Democratic leaders.

Analysts: War in Somalia behind epic famine The Associated Press

MOGADISHU, Somalia — Somali soldiers beat back desperate families with gun butts Thursday as they fought for food supplies in front of a weeping diplomat, a day after the U.N. declared parts of the country were suffering from the worst famine in a generation. “I will knock on every door I can to help you,” the African Union envoy to Somalia, Jerry Rawlings,

The U.N. has appealed for $300 million to over the next two

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The space shuttle era officially ended early Thursday morning as Atlantis touched down under a cloudless and star-spangled sky at Kennedy Space Center. After two signature sonic booms, the spacecraft seemed to suddenly drop out of the darkness on the three-mile runway, completing its long glide home from orbit precisely on the mark at 5:57 a.m. EDT.

final landing after 135 missions spanning 30 years — was bittersweet. The next mission for Atlantis will be as a tourist attraction. America’s astronaut corps will be consigned to hitching rides aboard Russian rockets, at least for the next few years until private companies prove they can safely fly in space. And another 2,300 workers at the space center will get pink slips within the week, only the latest in continuing waves of layoffs expected that will eventually add up to some 8,000 lost jobs for Florida’s Space Coast.

Support workers help the school district by continuing a no-salary-hike contract. By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

UNION TWP.— The Northwest Area School Board on Wednesday evening unanimously approved a major contract concession from district support personnel – an extension of the current collective bargaining agreement that stipulates no salary increases through June 30, 2012. The board voted 8-0 on the extension. Support personnel include teachers’ aides, maintenance employees, cafeteria workers and administrative assistants.

I have so many stories that I can’t remember them all. Most of them are very nice. Some of them he got me good,” Johnson said. His uncle worked hard and expected the same from others, he said. “He was a tough guy to work for. I’m sure the people at the courthouse know that,” he said, evoking laughter in the audience. Another nephew, David Flood Jr., of Ohio, said his uncle was “larger than life” and had an “insatiable appetite” to learn and try new things. Flood rose to the rank of sergeant in the U.S. Army, “left no stone unturned” as county controller and started a successful military antiques auction house, lobster business and deli, he said.

budget constraints, which board member Albert Gordon warned could become more acute in 2012-13. During a legislative report, Gordon said the state restricts school boards’ ability to raise taxes, and state cuts will prospectively result in deeper costcutting next school year. But all of the financial news wasn’t bad. Because state reimbursement was $372,000 more than budgeted, the board acted to rescind a tax anticipation loan with Penn Security Bank & Trust. On June 30, it approved $595,862 in contingency funding from the bank. In addition, board member Michael Pegarella reported Northwest’s share of the proposed budget of the West Side Career and Technical Center has been reduced by 10 percent. Overall, he said, Northwest’s portion is $476,832. Gary Powlus, acting superin– cars, traveling, sailing and following the Philadelphia Phillies, he said. “He always pushed the envelope. I’ve never seen anyone push the envelope so far,” his nephew said. He turned to face the open casket, telling Flood that he was “the ultimate uncle” and was the biggest influence on his life. Buffalo resident Chuck Scaglione, who also worked in antiques, said his time with Flood was always “an adventure.” “He never did things on a small scale. Everything was bigger than life,” Scaglione said. “He was the love of my life, and I truly will miss him.” Several county officials attended the funeral: Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olenginski, Controller Walter Griffith, Commissioner Stephen A. Urban, Sheriff John Gilligan and Chief Deputy Sheriff Carl Zawatski. As she waited for the service to begin, Medico Olenginski recalled how Flood used to thrust out his arms as if they were in handcuffs while predicting that former county judges Mark Ciavarella and Mike Conahan would someday leave the courthouse as criminals. As controller, Flood had uncovered information about the former judges and a Pittston Township juvenile detention center leased by the county, including details gleaned by a private investigator he hired and paid for on his own. Flood presented his findings and suspicions to federal authorities, convincing them to investigate, his lawyers have said. The Rev. Richard S. Wyzykiew-

Wasilewski was pro-

Powlus also said the board should act to refinance a bond issue which dates to 2007 to save interest. The board also hired three teachers: Ashley Papadoplos as an elementary teacher at an annual salary of $39,848; Amy Clink, elementary music, at $49,849; and Darren Ryan, elementary teacher, $48,200.

Sotelo said previously that he believed direction and guidance were lacking, which resulted in his son, and several of his son’s classmates, receiving less than favorable grades on their projects. Rasmus said the student manual for the upcoming term will contain updated information about defined goals, greater communication with parents, the availability of a summer program, a means for tracking progress and options for parents who believe their child is in need of assistance. Sotelo said that as the board advised him to do, he met with Rasmus as well as Ryan Minor, high school principal, to discuss what he believed to be shortcomings with regard to the graduation project. The meeting helped to produce the changes Rasmus outlined, Sotelo said.

Russian gets six months for smuggling military equipment By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – A Russian national who pleaded guilty to participating in a military equipment export smuggling operation was sentenced Thursday in federal court to six months in prison. Sergey Korznikov, 42, of Moscow, will begin his sentence on Aug. 11 at a yet to be determined location. Senior U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik also ordered Korznikov to serve two years of supervised release upon the completion of his sentence. Korznikov and co-defendant Mark Komoroski, owner of D& R Sporting Goods in Nanticoke, were charged in January 2010 with conspiring to smuggle the equipment that included rifle scopes, ammunition magazines and face shields to Russia from the United States. Korznikov was connected to

Moscow-based Tactica Ltd. that sells rifle optics, binoculars, boots, and other hunting and paramilitary equipment. Federal authorities believed he had illegally exported hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment over a several-year period, according to a search warrant affidavit filed in 2006. Komoroski received a 32month sentence in July 2010, was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and serve two years of supervised release. The investigation was handled by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement; Internal Revenue Service criminal investigations unit; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; U.S. Postal Inspection Service; Department of Commerce; Defense Criminal Investigative Service; and the Pennsylvania State Police.

icz of Devon Preparatory School, Flood’s alma mater, performed the funeral service. Wyzykiewicz had been Flood’s classmate and friend, and the audience nodded knowingly when he described Flood’s outgoing personality and passion for debate and argument. “The thing I liked about Steve

– I don’t know if everybody would like this trait – he spoke his mind and he was in many, many ways a very moral person,” Wyzykiewicz said. “He wanted things to be right. He wanted things to be true. He wanted them to be correct.” Flood, who was 67 and lived in

Dorrance Township, was buried at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Hanover Township. The pallbearers included Urban and Flood’s friend, local attorney Richard Goldberg. An album of photos showing Flood with his friends and family and running for controller was placed

in his casket. An American flag draped over the casket was folded after the playing of “Taps” and handed to Urban, who then presented it with a hug and condolences to Flood’s longtime partner and guardian, Heather Paulhamus.

Chillin’ in the summer sizzle Folks throughout Luzerne County who weren’t hiding away in air-conditioned retreats or busy working in climate-controlled environs were busy finding ways to keep cool at work and at play in Thursday’s near-record high temperatures. Temperatures were in the high 90s throughout the area, according to WNEP-TV Chief Meteorologist Tom Clark, and it’s not expected to cool down much until Sunday. Electricity use surpassed the summer peak forecast of 148,940 kilowatts on the PJM Interconnect, the power transmission grid that serves Pennsylvania and other MidAtlantic states, on Wednesday and Thursday, but there’s no danger of an outage or reduction, a spokeswoman said.

His last moments were spent listening to polkas, surrounded by the happy memories of a life lived to the fullest; devoted to family, friends, Faith, and service to others. His devotion was no greater than to his family, for whom he sacrificed gladly. When asked the question what he cared most about on his walls, he wrote “lots and lots of family pictures,” and his home bears that fact. His son, John, died in1959, from the simple to the large scale. but whenever a family photo went He said not long ago, if the day came up, he was quick to slip in a B & W he couldn’t carry ladies’ trays at the photo of his three-year-old son so it senior center or help people with packages, it was time for him to would be complete.

Senate committee OKs Mariani nod Nomination for U.S. District Court judge heads for full Senate floor vote. By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday approved the federal judicial nomination of Scranton labor lawyer Robert Mariani. Mariani’s nomination for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania now heads for a full Senate floor vote, though that could be weeks or even months from now because of a backlog of judicial nominations waiting for action by the full Senate. Mariani was one of six judicial nominees to be approved en bloc by the judiciary committee in a unanimous voice vote, a sign that there is little, if any, controversy attached to his nomination. Ten committee members, including four Republicans, were present for the voice vote in a Senate hearing room. In addition to Mariani, two other Pennsylvanians saw their judicial nominations advance Thursday: Western District nominees Cathy Bissoon and Mark Hornak. Mariani appeared before the committee last month for his nomination hearing. A sign then that his nomination would not be controversial was the appearance, also, of both of Pennsylvania’s senators, Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Scranton as might be expected of a nomination made by a Democratic president, but also GOP Sen. Pat Toomey of Zionsville. Toomey appeared along with Casey at the June 22 judiciary committee hearing to introduce Mariani and the other Pennsylvania nominees and laud their nominations.

Ex-convict’s lawsuit says jewelry gone

ROBERT D. MARIANI

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

Age: 61 Resides: Scranton Education: Undergraduate degree from Villanova University, 1972; Law degree from Syracuse University College of Law, 1976. Law practice: Since 1993, attorney and sole shareholder of Robert D. Mariani, P.C., (formerly Law Office of Robert D. Mariani), with practice focusing on labor and employment law. Position nominated for: U.S. District Judge for the Middle District of Pennsylvania Source: U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary questionnaire for judicial nominees.

WILKES-BARRE – A former Luzerne County Correctional Facility inmate has filed a lawsuit in Luzerne County Court alleging the prison “lost, misplaced and/or stole” nearly $5,000 worth of his jewelry. The lawsuit, filed Thursday by James Stone, of Nanticoke, lists Luzerne County, the prison and Warden Joseph Piazza as defendants. Stone, represented by attorney Michael Yelen, had been incarcerated at the prison beginning on Feb. 17, 2010, on charges stemming from a December 2008 incident in which police say he possessed a stolen firearm. Stone was sentenced in February 2010 to 10 to 20 months at the county prison, but applied for entry into the county’s Home Incarceration Program, and was paroled in July 2010. At the time he began serving his sentence, Stone said in the lawsuit, he was required to relinquish his jewelry to the prison. When he was released on July 26, 2010, Stone said the county, prison and warden were unable to account for the jewelry they were “responsible for safe keeping of.” Stone said his items were “lost, misplaced and/or stolen due to negligence,” and that the county, prison and warden have violated his “constitutional right to due process before deprivation of his property.” He alleged in the lawsuit that the listed defendants had previously agreed to reimburse Stone the $4,652.34 for the jewelry but had not yet made the payment as of Thursday’s court filing. Stone requests payment for the jewelry as well as other costs and interest. County Solicitor Vito DeLuca said Thursday he had not yet seen Stone’s filing and could not adequately comment.

Toomey said Mariani and the other two Pennsylvania nominees all have the necessary experience and skill to be fair and impartial judges. “These attributes will serve them very well if they are confirmed for the bench, and I hope that the committee favorably reports all three nominees to the full Senate, which I hope will then promptly confirm them,” Toomey said at the hearing. Mariani told the committee at the hearing that following the letter of the law and adhering to higher court precedents would guide his actions on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, not his years as a labor lawyer. “I am very pleased that these well-qualified candidates can now come before the Senate for a confirmation vote,” Casey said. “It is imperative that these vacancies are filled as soon as possible to address the shortage of U.S. district court judges in Pennsylvania. This issue transcends partisanship and I look forward to continuing to work with Sen. Toomey to ensure that Pennsylvania has the most experienced, accomplished and talented judges on our courts.”

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I never ask my clients if they are Democrat or Republican and I would never ask that of my constituents.” Bill Vinsko The Democrat, who is an attorney in Wilkes-Barre, became the first candidate to enter the race to try to unseat first-term Republican U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta of Hazleton.

OTHER OPINION: TAXES

Well-heeled execs should shell out

S AMERICANS GO into what will presumably be the last act of the Washington unreality show that constitutes raising the debt limit and possibly erasing at least part of the budget deficit, it is definitely worth looking at a study commissioned by The New York Times on the pay of the country’s top executives. As gauged by Equilar, an executive compensation data firm, in a nutshell, the median pay of top executives at 200 of America’s big companies in 2010 rose 23 percent from 2009. That median pay level stood at $10.8 million, including cash bonuses and stock grants. In the meantime, the average

American worker earned $752 a week, or $39,104 a year as his median pay, a pathetic 0.4 percent of what the top executives earned. Where this information comes into play with respect to whatever compromise is finally arrived at in Washington – if the United States is spared the humiliation of a sovereign debt default – is whether America’s rich should pay more taxes. Given the revenue problems the country faces, whatever agreement President Barack Obama and the Democrats arrive at with the Republicans had better include increases in the taxes that these lucky top executives pay.

Flood was dogged watchdog for democracy in county MY FIRST reaction when the lionization began after Steve Flood died? I hate to admit it, but a variation of the opening song from “Evita” ran through my mind. “But who is this Santo Steve? Why all this howling, hysterical sorrow? What kind of god has lived among us, how will we ever get by without him?” It feels sacrilegious to question the corruption-busting cred of the fiery former Luzerne County controller, particularly after he endured years of suffering from a debilitating stroke. But the questioning is almost inevitable. It might be because Flood was controller for only one term, yet the accolades pour forth as though he had spent a lifetime exposing fraud and waste. Or it might be because so much of his behavior could too easily be interpreted as a relentless craving for the public limelight, blurring the line between selfless crusading and ego-driven grandstanding. As I put it in a 2009 column: “The man could come across as a conspiracy kook on a witch hunt as easily as he could appear to be a Paladin poised to ride in and restore justice to a system gone rancid.” Steve Flood always sounded the alarm in flamboyant fashion, conducting surprise visits to county operations such as Moon Lake Park. He proudly played up his part as a Democratic Party pariah, as when he en-

MARK GUYDISH COMMENTARY dorsed Ed Rendell for governor while the county Democratic Party backed Bob Casey Jr. Flood loudly pressed for public airing of county actions that had occurred under the radar for years, including cozy arrangements with pension fund managers and questionable purchase agreements at the county prison. He might have been the first controller in Luzerne County to make that office a truly independent watchdog by aggressively using the legal tools at his disposal: auditing and subpoena powers. Yet his frequent subpoenas seemed amazingly ineffective; if they weren’t ignored outright, he diminished their impact by withdrawing them himself. Flood’s biggest claim to fame arguably was the December 2004 release of a draft audit prepared by the state that criticized the county’s $58 million lease of a PA Child Care juvenile center. Then-Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan slapped a court seal on the audit faster than you can say “corrupt judge.” Four years and one month later, long after he had been voted out of office by an electorate he deemed unappreciative, Flood was vindicated when federal prosecutors leveled charges against Conahan and fellow judge

The simple fact is, Steve Flood did the right thing, regardless of motivations or outcomes. Mark Ciavarella. The two jurists’ private dealings with PA Child Care were at the heart of those charges. Even so, Flood’s role in the downfall of the two judges was diminished by the feds themselves after Ciavarella was convicted by a jury this year. During a press conference following the February verdict, U.S. Assistant Attorney Gordon Zubrod said it was the federal probe into reputed mob boss William D’Elia that led the FBI to the shady business deals of Conahan and Ciavarella. There are plenty of reasons to feel some ambivalence about Flood’s legacy, to question whether he deserves the praise heaped upon him. But in the end, as they laid him to rest Thursday, I don’t think any of that mattered. The simple fact is, Steve Flood did the right thing, regardless of motivations or outcomes. He spoke out. He defied powerful people at his own political peril. He kept digging regardless of the roadblocks thrown up by those powerful people. Despite his flaws, he provided what democracy needs to survive: Eternal vigilance. It’s a lesson that must outlive him.

hat is the backlash around a Pennsylvania photo ID issued to all state residents who would want to have the right and privilege to vote? Yes, privilege. All that the state legislation is doing is looking at how we can safeguard and protect a voting system that is corrupt and has the potential to become even more corrupt. Is a voter’s photo ID card the answer to all of the polling problems? No. But it is a deterrent. What is the real solution? Pennsylvanians committing to what is right, what is honest and what is just. This is not only for superheroes. We have to stop individuals from voting multiple times or voting under different names.

center – and that project still was millions of dollars over budget. Thousands of dollars paid out to lawyers’ fees to pay those who were wronged by the city, and all Leighton could do was blame those people for the city’s problems. Selling city property without proper notification to the public, and selling the property, it seems, to only those who contribute to his campaign. He says the city is buying properties that are blighted to be fixed up, but I just don’t understand. I might not be great at math, but the city losing a couple thousand dollars in each transaction doesn’t seem very good. Also, the closing of firehouses and making one of them only part time, increasing response time. The latest and greatest: He hired not only his niece, but also his daughter for seasonal work. Wow, I am sure those were the two best teenagers for city work. To me, this is a little brazen considering that all the corruption and hiring of relatives is a big no-no anymore.

Old charges could still hurt Ciavarella The ex-judge’s 27 not-guilty counts might factor into the decision at sentencing.

By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella was convicted of 12 of the 39 charges against him, but the 27 not-guilty counts could still come back to haunt him at sentencing due to provisions within federal law. Ciavarella and his attorneys had touted his acquittal on the bulk of the charges as a partial victory following the conclusion of his trial in February. The fact he was acquitted of the charges doesn’t preclude a judge from considering them when it comes to sentencing, however. That issue was the key area of dispute in a pre-sentence investigation report prepared by the fed-

eral probation office, Ciavarella’s attorney, Al Flora, confirmed Thursday. The report will be utilized by U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik in deciding what sentence to impose. The dispute focused on a provision within federal law that permits a judge to consider “other relevant conduct” a defendant engaged in when deciding what sentence should be imposed, even if the defendant was found not guilty of charges related to that alleged conduct. In Ciavarella’s case, he was found guilty of multiple counts of racketeering, money laundering, conspiracy and several tax offenses for accepting nearly $1 million from Robert Mericle, who built the PA Child Care juvenile detention center that was utilized by the county. He was acquitted of all charges, including multiple counts of bribery, extortion and racketeering, relating to his alleged demands of

ical damage that led him to commit suicide last June at the age of 23. Fonzo’s outburst, captured by numerous media outlets, made national headlines, leading to her appearance on several national news programs. Fonzo said Thursday her frustration level continued to grow as the days, weeks and then months went by, without any word of a sentencing date. “I had dates in mind. I kept hoping (the sentencing) would be on Ed’s birthday or the anniversary of his death. The days kept coming and passing and you kind of lost hope,” she said. Ciavarella and former Judge Michael Conahan were originally charged in January 2009. Both men pleaded guilty to accepting money from persons involved with two juvenile centers. They later withdrew the pleas after Kosik rejected terms of their deals. Conahan negotiated a new deal and pleaded

kickbacks from Robert Powell, the owner of the center. Federal law allows Kosik to still consider Ciavarella’s alleged conduct involving Powell if the government can show “by a preponderance of the evidence” that Ciavarella had engaged in that conduct. That standard differs from the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard utilized in deciding if a person is guilty of a crime. Flora said he and fellow defense attorney William Ruzzo acknowl-

guilty in July 2010 to one count of racketeering conspiracy. No sentencing date has yet been set for him. Ciavarella went to trial and was convicted of 12 of the 39 charges filed against him for accepting nearly $1 million from local developer Robert Mericle, who built the PA Child Care and Western PA Child Care juvenile detention centers. His sentencing had been delayed, in part, due to a dispute over the pre-sentence investigation report being prepared by the federal probation department that will be utilized by Kosik in determining the sentence. Ciavarella is facing a maximum sentence of 157 years in prison, but prosecutors said it’s more likely he will be sentenced within federal sentencing guidelines, which call for a sentence of 12 years, 7 months to 15 years, 8 months in prison. Kosik is not obligated to follow the guidelines, however, and could sentence him to more or less time. Fonzo said she hopes to get to speak in court at Ciavarella’s sentencing. She said her confrontation of him following the trial was an emotional, spur-of-the-moment reaction and she does not anticipate it will occur again.

edged that the government could meet the preponderance of the evidence standard relating to Ciavarella’s alleged conduct involving Powell. But they maintain that the legal standard should be beyond a reasonable doubt, which is a much more stringent standard to meet. The attorneys outlined their objections in a letter to Kosik that was filed Thursday. “It is beyond reason that Mark Ciavarella was acquitted of many counts in a lengthy indictment. It would seem out of simple fairness that acquitted conduct means acquitted conduct,” Ruzzo said in the letter. In a phone interview, Flora acknowledged the law, as it stands now, is based on the preponderance of the evidence standard. He said he and Ruzzo wrote Kosik in order to preserve their right to appeal that issued to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals after Ciavarella is sentenced.

“All I want is for justice to be served and for him to be held accountable for what he did,” she said. “I’m sure I’m going to be emotional. I don’t want to cause any kind of ruckus.” Fonzo has continued to advocate for a stiff sentence, utilizing the social networking site Facebook to urge the public to attend the sentencing and to write letters to Kosik, asking him to impose the maximum sentence possible. She has also continued to advocate for changes to juvenile justice laws in Pennsylvania. In April she testified before a state Senate panel in support of several bills that would provide more safeguards for juveniles in court. Fonzo said she has also become an advocate of the national movement to do away with for-profit prisons and juvenile detention facilities. PA Child Care and Western PA Child Care were forprofit businesses. They exemplify the abuses that can occur at such facilities, Fonzo said. “It’s unbelievable that it’s legal and we allow people to make money off of this,” she said. “Ciavarella and everyone involved are proof that you have people who don’t have pure intentions in mind.

SCRANTON – An attorney for several defendants in the “kids for cash” lawsuits plans to interview the alleged victims of juveniles who are now suing former Judge Mark Ciavarella and others. Bernard Schneider, attorney for PA Child Care, Western PA Child Care and Mid Atlantic Youth Services, hopes to obtain evidence he believes will show Ciavarella was right to incarcerate the juveniles, according to court papers. Schneider filed a motion Thursday that seeks to alter a confidentiality order that precludes attorneys from revealing information contained in juvenile records to any member of the public. Schneider was obliSchneider, of Pittsgated to file the moburgh, said the defendtion because a confiants need to identify the juveniles by name, as well dentiality agreement as provide details of the reached by all parties crimes contained in court in the suits limits the records, to the alleged victims in order to refresh information attorneys can share with others their memories of the crimes, many of which not directly connectoccurred years ago. ed to the litigation. The interviews, which will also include police officers and witnesses to the crimes, will be done in order to ascertain if the juveniles were guilty of the charges, Schneider said. That evidence will be utilized to determine if the plaintiffs “would have been adjudicated delinquent and subject to the dispositions issued by Ciavarella without regard to the alleged payments to Ciavarella,” Schneider said. Schneider’s clients are among several defendants that remain in several class-action suits that allege Ciavarella improperly incarcerated juveniles at the PA and Western PA Child Care centers as part of a scheme to enrich himself and others. Schneider was obligated to file the motion because a confidentiality agreement reached by all parties in the suits limits the information attorneys can share with others not directly connected to the litigation. Schneider argues the motion should be granted because in most cases the victims and police already know the identity of the juvenile, therefore there is no breach of confidentiality. For other cases, he argues the juveniles waived their right to confidentiality when they filed the suit. U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo will review the motion and issue an order at a later date.

Other vendors shared his grinand-bear-it resilience to the heat. “We think cold,” said Marie Flis, of Wilkes-Barre Township, who prepares pierogies and potato pancakes in the Yogi’s Ethnic Foods trailer. “We think about how cold it was all winter.” But the right attitude doesn’t mean they’re above employing a few cooling aids on days like Thursday. “Our fan and air conditioner helps some of the heat blow outside,” Flis said. “We just cope with it. We’re old and we’re used to it. We don’t complain about it.” “We’re all right until someone reminds us about it,” added coworker Liz Geffert, of WilkesBarre Township. Some folks didn’t fare as well on Thursday. Jim McGuire, senior marketing associate for the Wyoming Valley Health Care System, said WilkesBarre General Hospital had “a handful of patients complaining of respiratory problems that are probably heat-related, usually aggravating an existing condition such as asthma.” The hospital also had one patient with a case of heat exhaustion, but no cases of heat stroke were diagnosed as of late afternoon, McGuire said. Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township had eight patients with heatrelated afflictions, said Geisinger

Tom Clark said Thursday’s temperatures were extreme, but not record-breakers for the WilkesBarre/Scranton area. Thursday’s high peaked at 96 at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, but the record there was 99, set in 1930. Two areas in the region did see records set Thursday, Clark said.

Temperatures and the heat index will be no worse today than on Thursday. “It will still be hot on Saturday, but we’ll see some relief on SundayandMonday,withthetemperatures back into the 80s,” Clark said.

CINCINNATI — Hot weather that has plagued the Plains for days spread eastward Thursday, blanketing several more states under a sizzling sun that made people sick, shut down summer schools and spurred cities to offer cooling centers and free swimming. Government forecasters issued excessive heat warnings for a huge section of the country, from Kansas to Massachusetts, while some southern states were under heat advisories. Thursday shaped up as the hottest day of a steamy week in Ohio, with temperatures climbing to 97 in the southwestern part of the state. Farther east, the worst of the heat waited for today and the weekend. Scattered deaths have been blamed on the heat nationwide. The temperature approached triple digits in Philadelphia and much of central and western New York.

Late Back Mountain threat falls short By JON GERARDI For The Times Leader

MILTON -- It was precisely the opportunity that Back Mountain needed to stage a huge rally in the 9-10 year old Pennsylvania state baseball tournament late in the sixth inning at the Myers F. Byers Memorial Sports Complex. After three consecutive singles by Michael Anderson, Michael Doggett and Ethan Zawat-

IL BASEBALL

Following the leadoff to victory

ski, Back Mountain had TWIN VALLEY the bases loaded with just one out, trailing by five BACK runs. MOUNTAIN Derek Answini got a hold of one right down the third-base line that looked like it was foul, but the umpire’s call was fair and that brief confusion by the Back Mountain

base runner on third was just enough to allow Twin Valley’s third baseman to double him and the runner on second up to end the game, giving Twin Valley a 9-4 win in the losers’ bracket and eliminate Back Mountain from the state tournament. “We don’t agree (on the umpire’s call), but we didn’t run the bases well there,” Back Mountain manager Jeff Doggett

said. “Our guys know if he’s going to go, he should go. He hesitated for no reason and (it) just wasn’t our day. I love these kids. I’m really heartbroken for them.” Back Mountain started off the game with a three-run home run by Michael Doggett into the trees in center field to take a 3-0 lead, but Twin Valley struck right back in the next two innings. Bradley Rutherford hit a

double to the fence in the first to drive in two runs. and then an error on Back Mountain’s pitcher allowed John Bender to tie the game up with an RBI in the bottom of the second. It wasn’t until a few innings later though that the momentum swung away from Back Mountain and into Twin Valley’s corner. See BASEBALL, Page 4B

Owners vote for deal

Timely hitting allows SWB Yankees to salvage a split of series with Columbus. By JARROD ULREY For the Times Leader

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Get the leadoff hitter on enough times and good things are bound to happen. That tried-and-true cliché worked once again amid the sweltering heat Thursday afternoon for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre during a 6-5 victory that helped it salvage a split of a four-game series in Huntington Park. Leadoff doubles in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings each created runs, and a leadoff single in the YANKEES second set the Yankees up for a three-run inning. CLIPPERS Kevin Russo and Austin Krum each had three hits and Jordan Parraz started off two innings with base hits. “When you start to get on a roll, (the leadoff hits are) huge,” Krum said. “Getting the first guy on can wreak so much havoc on the other team. Today offensively we were feeling it, and we probably didn’t even put as many runs across as we could have.” The offensive performance provided a comfortable cushion for Yankees starter Lance Pendleton, who gave up three hits and just one run over six innings to pick up his third victory. It also represented his longest outing of the year. A three-run seventh inning off the Yankees’ bullpen and a leadoff home run in the ninth by Clippers pinch-hitter Nick Johnson created some anxious moments, but Buddy Carlyle rebounded after giving up Johnson’s slam to center by retiring the final three batters. That earned him his first save. “(Pendleton) was working ahead in the count,” manager Dave Miley said. “It was a tough day for everybody with the heat and he gives us six, which is a tip of the hat to him. I thought he did a nice job.” The Yankees did their biggest damage in the second inning. Parraz opened the frame with a single and Krum followed with a bunt single. Luis Nunez popped one in-

OPINION TRACEE HAMILTON

Tiger loses one of last commodities It’s a poor workman who blames his tools, and caddie Steve Williams was certainly one of Tiger Woods’s most important tools. Woods won 13 of 14 majors and 72 tournaments with Williams toting his clubs the past dozen years. That’s a nice living for a golfer and by extension, for his caddie. But as Williams himself pointed out Wednesday, the last 18 months in Tigerland haven’t produced a lot of fun (or funds). Woods has gotten divorced and injured, he’s been treated for a sex addiction, he’s fired and hired a swing coach, he’s tried and failed to return to form ... he’s a mess. Williams, who more often protected Woods from fans and the media than advised him on club selection, waited patiently through all this. He hinted in an interview with New Zealand television that he’s not been paid during this period, either, saying it’s been hard on his family. Caddies are paid based on their golfers’ success, so this makes sense. So when Adam Scott called asking for Williams’s help, Williams asked Woods for permission, Woods said go ahead ... and then fired him a few weeks later. Woods told Williams his services were no longer required earlier this month at the AT&T National but Williams kept quiet until Woods issued a statement on his website. Then Williams said, "You could say I’ve wasted the last two years of my life." Of course, Williams played a far more important role in Woods’s life than caddie -- he was also Woods’s friend. And friends are hard to come by in Woods’s world, where nearly everyone has more than one motive for wanting to get close to you. His friends seemed to be other golfers, and after word got out of his many, many infidelities, some of them walked away. If you socialize with golfers, you socialize with their wives as well. It’s an insular world and a guy with Woods’s track record isn’t going to be welcomed back into it any time soon. Williams was one of the guys who stuck by Tiger. He may have expressed his disappointment in Woods’s behavior to Woods but he remained friends with him. Even after all his years of success, Woods still comes off as stiff and wooden, in commercials, in media interviews, in his painful TV apology. Think about the times you’ve seen Woods smile or laugh; I’m betting Williams was standing next to him, whispering in his ear. It’s one of the few hints we have that Woods might actually have a personality and a sense of humor. The conspiracy theorists among us say this is one more sign that the left leg injuries that have crippled Woods’s game are more serious than he will admit and that his career is finished, even if he gets Benny Goodman as a swing coach and Bagger Vance as his looper. He’s done, and letting Williams go was the kind thing to do. See HAMILTON, Page 4B

Waldorf Hall is my pick to take the money this evening in the $29,000 Open Trot. Trained by Jim Raymer, the four-year old Conway Hall stallion has been fairly consistent, hitting the board in eight of nine seasonal starts. Last week, his only off the board finish of 2011, Waldorf Hall came off the pace to only miss by a length and threequarters (finishing fourth) to the top trotter on the planet, Arch Madness. He’s shown the versatility to win on or off the pace and gets some slight class relief tonight as well, add all this up and I look for a top effort for the Matt Kakaley reined trotter in that tenth race feature.

Rollins’ sudden surge is music to Phillies’ ears By ROB MAADDI AP Sports Writer

PHILADELPHIA — Hip-hop music blares from the sound system inside Jimmy Rollins’ locker after every game the Philadelphia Phillies’ win. Whether he was 0 for 4 or had four hits, Rollins celebrates each victory the same way with his teammates. The former NL MVP is the heart and soul of the Phillies, and he supplies much of the swagger in a low-key clubhouse. Lately, Rollins has done most of the hitting, too. “He’s staying on the ball and he’s a bit more patient,” manager Charlie Manuel said. “His bat is quick.” Since July 2, Rollins is batting .406 with four homers and 11 RBIs in 14 games. He’s raised his average 26 points in that span. “That comes with being selec-

tive and getting good balls to hit,” Manuel said. “That shows he’s really bearing down, he’s focused more and he’s having fun playing.” Rollins is an integral part of Philadelphia’s offense. As the leadoff hitter, it’s his job to get things going. It’s no coincidence when he’s hot, the team scores more runs. The NL East leaders have averaged 5.7 runs per game this month and are 10-5. “We just have to find ways to keep winning games, to keep getting big hits,” Rollins said. “Like Charlie says, it’s now how many you get, it’s when you get them. Of course, you’ve got to get hits to get on most of the time, but you want to get hits when guys are on base and we’ve been able to do that.” Overall, Rollins is batting .277 with 11 homers and 41 RBIs this

MIAMI — Dustin Moseley and three relievers held the Florida Marlins without an earned run Thursday, and the San Diego Padres completed a series sweep by winning 5-3. Padres second baseman Orlando Hudson collided with a wall after catching a pop foul in the seventh inning and was carted off the field. He was taken to a hospital for neck and shoulder tests but was expected to be fine, a team spokesman said. Cameron Maybin had four hits and scored twice for the Padres, who outscored the Marlins 23-6 in the series. Maybin went 9 for 14 in the three games against his former team. Moseley (3-9) went six innings and allowed three unearned runs. He stayed in the game after a 21⁄2-hour rain delay in the second inning. Javier Vazquez (6-9) went only 4 1-3 innings and allowed five runs, the last on a bases-loaded walk. Braves 9, Rockies 6

DENVER — Jason Heyward and Freddie Freeman each homered and had two hits and Atlanta overcame a shaky start by Tommy Hanson to beat Colorado. Brooks Conrad homered

and Nate McLouth had two hits apiece for Atlanta, which earned a split of the fourgame series. Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth for his 30th save. Carlos Gonzalez homered for the Rockies before leaving in the fifth inning with a right wrist injury while swinging — he fouled the ball off. Hanson (11-5) allowed six runs on seven hits and struck out seven in six innings. Cardinals 6, Mets 2

NEW YORK — Albert Pujols hit a two-run homer in the first and Jake Westbrook had the Mets pounding the ball into the ground over eight excellent innings as St. Louis edavoid a three-game sweep. Pujols drove a pitch from Jonathon Niese (9-8) left up in the strike zone off the facade of the second deck in left field for his 21st home run. Westbrook (8-4) worked efficiently (90 pitches) and rapidly, and kept his infielders busy. He recorded 17 outs on groundballs, including two double plays, and allowed only four hits and two runs. Trailing 6-5, the Braves took the lead for good against Matt Reynolds (0-2) in the seventh.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Shields outpitches CC as Rays defeat Yankees The Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — All-Star James Shields won for the first time in nearly a month, outpitching CC Sabathia and beating the New York Yankees 2-1 on Thursday night. Shields (9-8) allowed six hits, walked three and struck out six over 7 2-3 innings in his second duel with Sabathia in 12 days. The right-hander lost 1-0 to the major league wins leader on July 10 at Yankee Stadium, yielding the game’s only run on an errant pickoff throw to third base. Sabathia (14-5) lost for the first time since June 9, ending a streak of victories in seven consecutive starts. Slumping Evan Longoria homered and finished with two of the five hits off the Yankees ace. Sam Fuld drove in Tampa Bay’s second run with a fifth-inning triple.

center fielder Endy Chavez into an unearned run, beating the Rangers and moving within three games of the AL West leaders. Blue Jays 7, Mariners 5

TORONTO — Rajai Davis hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning and the Blue Jays handed Seattle its 12th straight loss. Miguel Olivo erased a 5-1 deficit by hitting Seattle’s first grand slam of the season in the top of the eighth. Tigers 6, Twins 2

MINNEAPOLIS — Justin Verlander threw eight dominant innings, Jhonny Peralta drove in three runs with three hits and the Detroit Tigers beat Minnesota for their 10th straight win over the Twins.

season. The switch-hitting shortstop has 60 runs, 19 steals, a .344 on-base percentage and is on pace to set a career-high in walks. It’s his best, all-around season since 2007 when he was MVP after putting up these incredible numbers: .296 average, 30 homers, 94 RBIs, 20 triples, 41 steals. Rollins didn’t come close to matching that production the next three years. In 2008, Rollins hit .277 with 11 homers and 59 RBIs. In ‘09, he hit .250 with 21 homers and 77 RBIs, but had a career-worst .296 on-base percentage. Last year, Rollins played in a career-low 88 games because of leg injuries and had a careerworst .243 average. Entering the final year of a $46.5-million, six-year contract, there were questions whether Rollins is on the decline at age 32. He started slow this season while

filling in for the injured Chase Utley as the No. 3 hitter. Rollins hit .271 with only one homer and five RBIs in 27 games batting third in the lineup. He’s hitting .277 with 10 homers and 37 RBIs in 64 games leading off. “If you’re swinging better, you’re likely going to get more hits,” Rollins said. “If you’re not swinging well, the one time you do hit a line drive, they catch it. You’ve got to keep putting them out there and hope for something to fall. I’ve been able to do that.” Rollins was drafted in the second round of the 1996 amateur draft by the Phillies and has played here his entire career. But he’ll become a free agent for the first time after this season, and there’s no guarantee he’ll be back. It’s hard to envision the Phillies without Rollins, especially since they expect to be contenders for a

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L July 22 1905 — Weldon Henley of the Philadelphia Athletics pitched a no-hitter, defeating the St. Louis Browns 6-0 in the first game of a doubleheader. It was the highlight of Henley’s 4-11 season. 1906 — Bob Ewing pitched the Cincinnati Reds to a 10-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies without a single assist registered by his teammates. 1926 — Cincinnati had four triples in an 11-run second inning as the Reds beat the Boston Braves, 13-1. Curt Walker hit two in the inning to tie an NL record for most triples in an inning. 1962 — Floyd Robinson of the Chicago White Sox had six singles in six at-bats in a 7-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox. 1967 — The Atlanta Braves used a major league record five pitchers in the ninth inning of a 5-4 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The pitchers were Ken Johnson, Ramon Hernandez, Claude Raymond, Dick Kelley and Cecil Upshaw. 2000 — Seattle’s 13-5 win over Texas was interrupted for 54 minutes when a rainstorm drenched fans at Safeco Field and the $517.6 million stadium’s roof wouldn’t close because of a computer problem. The roof finally began closing about 20 minutes later.

2004 — Jason Schmidt’s 12-game winning streak ended as San Francisco fell to San Diego 9-4. Schmidt (12-3) was off from the outset in his worst start of the season, allowing eight runs, nine hits and four walks in 5 2-3 innings. It was his first loss in 17 starts since April 21. 2006 — Alfonso Soriano had three doubles, a triple and scored two runs to lead Washington to a 7-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. 2007 — The New York Yankees had 25 hits in a 21-4 rout of Tampa Bay. The Yankees hit six home runs in the game, including two by Shelley Duncan. 2008 — Florida’s Rick VandenHurk threw five hitless innings and combined with three relievers for a one-hit, 1-0 win over Atlanta.

GWA advances to junior softball finals

The Times Leader staff

PLAINS – Adrienne Przybyla had two hits and four RBI as Greater Wyoming Area defeated Carbino Club 10-6 Thursday to advance to the finals of the Little League Section 5 junior softball tournament. GWA will play 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Plains Little League against an opponent that will be determined today. It will win the title and advance to the state tournament with a victory. If GWA loses, another game will follow. Megan Bresnahan was 2-for-2 with an RBI for GWA. Sara Coolbaugh and Drew Bednarski also had an RBI each. Nicole Cumbo pitched a complete game for the victory, allowing six hits and fanning two.

Sera Degnon had two home runs, Marissa Ross went 4-for-5 with three doubles and Lori Masi collected four hits for Plains. Staskiel had three hits of her own, Liz Elsworth tripled and Luton, Aria Grilli, and Katie Colleran all had a hit. Plains will be playing again 6 p.m. today against Kenneth Square, in West Grove at the Avon Grove Little League complex.

ed, not an easy catch, but a catchable ball. We probably should have made that play and we’re out of the inning (and) in that dugout." Twin Valley’s pitching kept Back Mountain silent through four innings. Bender went 5 2-3 innings on the mound and struck out eight batters while giving up just two hits, both of which came in the first inning. Three times Back Mountain

faced a three up, three down inning and failed to hit the ball. While going 0-2 was not the goal for Back Mountain, reaching the Pennsylvania state tournament is a feat in itself and Doggett’s more than proud of his team. "It’s an accomplishment," Doggett said. "I am very proud of these guys. They never gave up, they never hung their heads."

Mike Carey pitched a four-hit shutout as Greater Wyoming Area won the Section 5 winners bracket with a win over Weston Park.

Hall of Fame jockey rode Zenyatta for the last 17 races of her career. The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO — Police say Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith has been arrested for investigation of DUI. Smith was arrested Wednesday night, hours after winning the Oceanside Stakes aboard Mr. Commons on Del Mar’s opening day. He was booked into the Central Jail. He was later released at 4:02 a.m. Thursday on $2,500 bail. A court date has been set for Sept. 1 Smith rode Zenyatta for the last 17 races of her career. Included in that stretch of races was a loss in the Breeders’ Cup Classic that kept the mare from finishing her career with a 20-0 record.

United States beat the Czech Republic with an inexperienced roster. By JEFF LATZKE AP Sports Writer

OKLAHOMA CITY — Stacy May-Johnson homered, Rhea Taylor had a two-run triple and the United States beat the Czech Republic 7-2 Thursday night at the World Cup of Softball. Playing without an Olympic medalist, the Americans are fielding an inexperienced bunch instead of the group of veterans who once were a dominant force in international softball. Superstar Jennie Finch retired from the U.S. team during last year’s World Cup, and Jessica Mendoza, Cat Osterman and Natasha Watley are among several former Olympic gold medalists who decided not to return to the team this year. A group of rookie Americans still combined to win the team’s first international game on U.S. soil this year. Taylor put the United States ahead to stay with her two-run triple to deep right

field in the second inning. May-Johnson’s solo shot bumped the lead to 6-2 after the Czechs scored twice in the top of the fourth. She also singled twice. With only three players who’d even been on the national team before, the U.S. is going through a transition period. The sport has been dropped from the Olympics for both 2012 and 2016 and the earliest it could return would be 2020. Many top stars retired after the 2008 Games, and others have stepped aside since then or turned their attention to building the professional game. Without them, the Americans lost three times to top rival and 2008 gold medalist Japan this month at the Canada Cup, including in the championship game. Instead, the national team is stocked with players who are in college or just finished it. Taylor was a part of three Women’s College World Series teams at Missouri, playing her last college game on the same field in Oklahoma City less than two months earlier.

Her former teammate, Chelsea Thomas, got the save after relieving Whitney Canion (1-0) with two runners on in the sixth. She got a double-play grounder and struck out cleanup hitter Eva Rendlova to end the threat. Kelly Grieve had a pair of infield RBI singles, including one when Taylor scored from second in the sixth. After being retired in order the first time through the lineup, the Czech Republic got to Canion for two runs in the fourth. Lucie Petraskova broke up Canion’s no-hitter with a soft line single to right, and Dina Pfeiferova followed with an infield single. Canion then uncorked a high wild pitch to allow both runners to advance. Lenka Jaklova had an RBI groundout, and cleanup hitter Rendlova squeezed in the second run. The Czechs were routed by Australia 11-0 earlier in the day in a game stopped after five innings because of the mercy rule. Australia also beat Great Britain 7-1 and Japan, last year’s runner-up, beat Canada 9-6 in eight innings.

ish in the Tour’s 108-year history — Schleck had beaten the favorites by more than two minutes, come 15 seconds within Frenchman Thomas Voeckler’s grasp on the yellow jersey, and left Cadel Evans of Australia clinging to his title bid. But the biggest casualty was Contador, who with an aching right knee from a crash earlier in the three-week race, straggled up to the finish — his hopes of a fourth title in tatters. “Victory is impossible now,” said Contador, who had dropped back to the race doctor for an anti-inflammatory just as Schleck prepared his move. “I had a bad day. My legs didn’t respond and I just hit a wall.” The two riders, once friends who vacationed together, had animosity during last year’s Tour when some say Contador breached etiquette by speeding ahead when Schleck had a chain malfunction — a move that turned out to make the difference in the outcome. Schleck wasn’t looking at the past skirmishes with Contador after Thursday’s ride, instead focusing on his goal of seizing the yellow shirt that he has long coveted but never worn off the French race leader’s back. Schleck began the day in fourth place, 2:36 behind Voeckler. After a first ascent of the Col d’Agnel pass — which some call the toughest single Tour climb this year — Schleck attacked on the next one, Col d’Izoard, and extended his lead up much of the fabled Galibier. The race contenders, led by Evans, finally reacted once they saw their victory hopes slipping away in Schleck’s wake. But it was too late: They could only try to stanch their losses. He put it together with a combination of bravado, relatively fresh legs, and smart racing under an escort from his Leopard Trek teammates who had fanned out ahead to help their leader along. It was picture-perfect teamwork, as his comrades one after the other relayed to give Schleck a draft so he could conserve his energy for his mad dash to the finish. “I told the team yesterday that I had this in mind. I wasn’t going to be fourth in Paris,” Schleck said. “I said I’d risk it all. ... It’s my character: I’m not afraid to lose.”

to shallow right field that was dropped by second baseman Jason Kipnis but resulted in an out by infield fly. Catcher Gustavo Molina, who was a late addition to the lineup in place of an ill Jesus Montero, then singled to score Parraz and move Krum to second. After Doug Bernier bounced into a fielder’s choice, Russo doubled in Krum and Bernier. Krum led off the sixth with a double, moved to third on a groundout and scored on an groundout by Molina to make it 4-1. In the seventh, Russo doubled, Greg Golson singled and Mike Lamb grounded into a double play, scoring Russo. The Yankees scored their final run in the eighth. Parraz led off with a double, moved to third when pitcher Chen Lee’s pickoff attempt went into center field for an error and scored on a sacrifice fly by Krum. The Clippers rallied to within 5-4 in the seventh when Kipnis had an RBI sacrifice fly and Jason

At a glance LE MONETIER-LES-BAINS, France — A brief look at Thursday’s 18th stage of the Tour de France: Stage: Presented as the hardest stage in this year’s Tour, the 125-mile route from Pinerolo, Italy, to the top of the Col du Galibier certainly lived up to its billing. The stage covered three “beyond category” climbs, the sport’s hardest, finishing on top the 8,700-foot Col du Galibier, the highest stage finish in Tour de France history. Winner: Luxembourg rider Andy Schleck rode to a daring victory, crossing the line 2 minutes, 7 seconds ahead of his brother Frank after launching a solo attack around 36 miles from the finish. Schleck outwitted rivals with the early attack on the second of three grueling climbs and held on all the way on the fabled Galibier. Yellow Jersey: Thomas Voeckler of France remains in yellow, barely. He dug deep on the final climb to Galibier to hang on to the yellow jersey, but his lead shrank to 15 seconds over second-place Andy Schleck and 1 minute, 12 seconds on third-place Cadel Evans. Where’s Alberto Contador? Contador could not keep up the pace with the leaders on the Galibier climb, and he dropped back to seventh place overall, 4:44 seconds behind Voeckler. Quote of the Day: “Victory is now impossible.” — Alberto Contador. Friday: The 68-mile stage takes riders back over the Galibier pass and finishes on the famed Alpe d’Huez, an 81⁄2-mile series of 21 switchbacks with an average gradient of 8 percent.

Schleck’s older brother Frank — the other half of what has billed as a two-pronged fraternal duo — was second, by 2:07 back. Evans and Voeckler were close behind, the Frenchman gritting it out all the way to stay yellow. “I limited the damage,” Voeckler said. “I went all out.” Overall, the elder Schleck is third, 1:08 back, and has insisted that any talk of sibling rivalry is misplaced. Evans trails fourth, 4 seconds slower. The brothers, Evans, and outsider Voeckler have the most realistic shot at victory. Contador is nearly 5 minutes back in seventh, making victory a very tall order with just one more day in the Alps before Saturday’s final time trial in Grenoble. Andy Schleck came in knowing that he’d need to gain time before then: Time trials aren’t his specialty; mountains are.

UP NEXT Next Game: 7:05 p.m. today vs. Syracuse at PNC Field Probable Pitchers: Yankees RHP Adam Warren (6-3, 3.29) vs. Syracuse RHP Brad Peacock (0-1, 14.54). On Deck: Today’s game starts a four-game series against Syracuse, the Washington Nationals Triple-A affiliate. Radio: All games can be heard on THE GAME (1340-AM) with Mike Vander Woude.

Donald and Cord Phelps added RBI singles, but Randy Flores got Shelley Duncan to ground out to end the threat. “You kind of wished we’d have cashed in a few more times, but we scored enough,” Miley said. “I thought Pendleton did a nice job and Russo got us some big hits. Their guys did a pretty good job of coaxing double-play balls, but you have to just try to stay aggressive.” NOTES: The Yankees return home for a four-game series against Syracuse beginning at 7:05 p.m. Friday. Right-hander Adam Warren (6-3, 3.29) will face right-hander Brad Peacock (0-1, 14.54) in the opening game of the series. never the most popular caddie on tour. But in the end, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Woods may be rebuilding himself from the ground up: his knee, his swing, his bag, his new girlfriend. Perhaps he’s divesting himself of all reminders of his previous life. That seems far more likely than Tiger Woods giving up on himself. On others, yes, but not on himself.

Heat wave has Midwest high schools cautious By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

GARDNER, Kan. — High school football coaches are always eager for fall practice to start, and that rings especially true in small towns all across the Midwest, where every store closes up and every light is turned off except for those at the stadium on a Friday night. Some coaches are even more anxious to get started this season. Record-setting temperatures and stifling humidity have made life miserable from Detroit to Denver, Minneapolis to the Mexican border. And that includes causing headaches for coaches and trainers who worry about the health of their kids during informal workouts the last few weeks before school starts. “We make a big emphasis that our kids realize they need to come to practice hydrated, whether it’s something we’re doing after

schoolorworkoutsinthesummer months,” said Marvin Diener, the veteran head coach of GardnerEdgerton High School in Gardner, Kan. The high temperature in the small town a short drive south of Kansas City on Thursday was 101 degrees under a cloudless sky, and humidity pushed the “feels like” temperature to something approaching that of a blast furnace. It’s supposed to be even worse on Friday and Saturday. “It’s Kansas in the summer,” Diener said almost with a shrug. He should know, too, having tutored numerous college stars and winning more than 200 games at several schools across the state. “You just have to be careful and make sure kids know what to do,” Diener said. That’s because football has becomeayear-roundpursuitnotjust for pro players and college athletes, but also high school stu-

dents who are sometimes willing to go to extreme lengths to be successful. In many cases, that means attending a relentless schedule of specialty camps like the one run by former Chiefs offensive lineman Will Shields. He’s been working with athletes at several schools in the KansasCityareainrecentweeks,even getting onto the field with them despite the stifling weather. Diener hosted a full-pad youth camp for third through sixth grade earlier this week, the start of which he delayed until the early evening, when temperatures were less brutal. He plans to follow a similar schedule when football camp officially opens for high school students in a couple of weeks. “I think that’s consistent with most schools,” Diener said. “We talk to our boys about a lot of those things. And maybe the oth-

DEAL Continued from Page 1B

open the training facilities beginning on Saturday.” But the owners’ vote couldn’t save the Aug. 7 Hall of Fame game, the first game lost to a work stoppage since the 1987 players’ strike. Now it remains to be seen if others are canceled, and whether players will show up when the league opens its doors on Saturday. Disagreement among the players arose almost immediately after Goodell’s announcement. In an email to player representatives for all 32 teams, NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said the owners’ agreement on supplemental revenue sharing was not valid. “As you know, the owners have ratified their proposal to settle our differences,” the email said. “As you may have heard, they apparently approved a supplemental revenue-sharing proposal. Obviously, we have not been a part of those discussions . . . Issues that need to be collectively bargained remain open. Others, such as workers compensation, economic issues and endof-deal terms, remain unresolved. There is no agreement between the NFL and the players at this time.” An email from NFLPA attorney Richard Berthelsen suggests that the NFL may be violating labor law by trying to force the players to recertify as a union. According to the owners’ agreement, the NFLPA’s executive committee would have to recommend approval of the deal by Saturday, and that players would have to agree to recertify as a union by Wednesday, when the league year would begin. It is highly uncertain whether the NFLPA’s executive committee will approve the measure according to the owners’ timeline. Asked if the owners had a contingency plan if the players did not approve the deal, NFL lead negotiator Jeffrey Pash said: “We believe and expect we will have a fully approved and ratified agreement on a timely basis. If something else happens, we’ll have to adjust our thinking.” Goodell was not available for comment about Smith’s email or about players’ remarks decrying what they saw as a power play to force an agreement on them. Although it appeared the sides had agreed on most economic issues for a new collective bargaining agreement, the players still be-

lief, even though the NFL Players Association had not passed the resolution. Belusko owns tickets to see several Dallas Cowboys games this year, including a home game in Texas. “I can’t wait until it’s over,” he said. Not all fans were positive after the near-ending bitter squabble between owners and players. Some fans’ interest in the NFL waned, pointing to greed and offfield player issues. “As a hockey fan, I wouldn’t mind the NHL competing with one less league during the fall and winter,” said Jim McCabe, of Secane. “I’m a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan, but I wouldn’t be totally crushed if I lost a season.” The majority of football fans sided with the players. The physical toll put on the players was reason for McCabe to side with

lieve there are enough significant issues unresolved to require more bargaining. “Please don’t get excited about that press conference,” Redskins defensive end Vonnie Holliday tweeted. “The owners have agreed on a deal we the players have not seen! It’s sad that the owners played this card! We want to get back to work & have been trying to do so!” Goodell and Smith spoke for more than an hour shortly before the owners voted. Thirty-one teams approved the agreement; the Raiders abstained. Asked about his message to fans frustrated by the lockout, Goodell said, “I understand their frustration. I hope they understand we’re working hard to get that agreement that is going to secure the game for the future. So I guess I’d say to them, we’re getting close to getting football back, and that’s what we want.” Thursday’s events may have been a false start, however. Giants president and co-owner John Mara, a key member of the league’s negotiating team, had expressed optimism about the future of the NFL shortly after the owners approved the agreement. As part of the deal, they voted in favor not only of a new CBA, but of the elimination of all pending legal action by each side against the other. “This was a long, tough, tough negotiation going back over about three years now,” Mara said. “I can’t say we got everything we wanted to get out of this deal and I’m sure they would probably say the same thing. Usually when that happens, it means it’s a fair deal, and I firmly believe that this is a fair deal. I think the best thing about it is our fans aren’t going to have to hear about labor-management relations for another 10 years.” Unfortunately for Mara, that respite lasted barely 10 minutes.

the NFLPA. “The players kinda get treated like parts that get thrown away after they break down,” said McCabe. “The fact is these guys sacrifice being physically normal for the rest of their lives to play a few short seasons to entertain the masses.” Although Ron Czerniakowski, of Plains, was disappointed that the lockout was “about money and greed the whole time”, he said that he will be coming back to pro football in this fall, if the lockout ends. Czerniakowski attests that most fans, if not more than before, will be found watching games at Beer Boys on Sunday. “I don’t think football will regress,” he said. “People are going to miss how much they miss football.” The bars’ collective said they look forward the lockout ending soon so they won’t miss any football on Sundays. “It’d be awful,” said Breese. “It’d be very boring. I’d have nothing to do.”

LOCAL COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Colonels land point guard Wilson The Times Leader staff

The Wilkes men’s basketball team has announced the addition of Jourdon Wilson to the squad for the 2011-12 season. An incoming freshman point guard from Mechanicsburg, Wilson was a three-year starter in the backcourt at Cumberland Valley High School. Averaging 13 points and five assists as a senior, the 6-foot Wilson was a second-team allconference selection. “This young man is a complete player and will make an

immediate impact on our team,” Wilkes coach Jerry Rickrode said in a school release. “He has a very high skill set, outstanding basketball instincts, and possesses a true love for the game.” Selected as his team’s MVP twice, Wilson was also name the 2011 Cumberland Valley Outstanding Senior. Wilson joins Rodney Hill, Cameron Hinkel and Michael Sharpe as new members of the squad for the upcoming season, which tips off in November.

THE TIMES LEADER

T H E D E TA I L S If approved by the players, the NFL’s new deal would cover the 2011-2020 seasons and the 2021 draft. It would include the following key terms as released by the NFL: ECONOMICS • Salary cap plus benefits of $142.4 million per club in 2011 ($120.375 million for salary and bonus) and at least that amount in 2012 and 2013. • Beginning in 2012, salary cap to be set based on a combined share of “all revenue,” a new model differentiated by revenue source with no expense reductions. Players will receive 55 percent of national media revenue, 45 percent of NFL Ventures revenue and 40 percent of local club revenue. • Also beginning in 2012, annual “true up” to reflect revenue increases or decreases versus projections. • Clubs receive credit for actual stadium investment and up to 1.5 percent of revenue each year. • Player share must average at least 47 percent for the 10-year term of the agreement. • Leaguewide commitment to cash spending of 99 percent of the cap in 2011 and 2012. • For the 2013-2016 seasons, and again for the 2017-2020 seasons, the clubs collectively will commit to cash spending of at least 95 percent of the cap. • Each club will be committed to cash spending of 89 percent of the cap from 2013-2016 and 2017-2020. • Increases to minimum salaries of 10 percent in Year 1 with continuing increases each year of the agreement. PLAYER AND HEALTH SAFETY • Reducing the offseason program by five weeks, reducing organized team activities from 14 to 10; • Limiting on-field practice time and contact; • Limiting full-contact practices in the preseason and regular season; • Increasing number of days off for players. • Opportunity for current players to remain in the player medical plan for life. • An enhanced injury protection benefit of up to $1 million of a player’s salary for the contract year after his injury and up to $500,000 in the second year after his injury. • No change to the 16-game regular-season/4-game preseason format until at least 2013; any subsequent increase in the number of regular-season games must be made by agreement with the NFL Players Association. • $50 million per year joint fund for medical research, healthcare programs and NFL Charities, including NFLPA-related charities. RETIRED PLAYER BENEFITS • Over the next 10 years, there will be additional funding for retiree benefits of between $900 million and $1 billion. The largest single amount, $620 million, will be used for a new “Legacy Fund,” which will be devoted to increasing pensions for pre-1993 retirees. • Other improvements will be made to post-career medical options, the disability plan, the 88 Plan, career transition and degree completion programs, and the Player Care Plan. DRAFT AND FREE AGENCY SYSTEM • An annual draft of seven rounds, plus compensatory picks for teams which lose free agents. • Unrestricted free agency for players after four accrued seasons; restricted free agency for players with three accrued seasons. • Free agency exceptions for franchise and transition players. ENTRY LEVEL COMPENSATION SYSTEM • All drafted players sign four-year contracts. • Undrafted free agents sign three-year contracts. • Maximum total compensation per draft class. • Limited contract terms. • Strong anti-holdout rules. • Clubs have option to extend the contract of a first-round draftee for a fifth year, based on agreed-upon tender amounts. • Creation of new fund to redistribute, beginning in 2012, savings from new rookie pay system to current and retired player benefits and a veteran player performance pool. 2011-2012 TRANSITION RULES • Special transition rules to protect veteran players in 2011. All teams will have approximately $3.5 million in what would otherwise be performancebased pay available to fund veteran player salaries. • Each club may “borrow” up to $3 million in cap room from a future year, which may be used to support veteran player costs. • In 2012, each club may “borrow” up to $1.5 million in cap room from a future year. Both these amounts would be repaid in future years. OTHER • No judicial oversight of the agreement. Neutral arbitrators jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA will resolve disputes as appropriate. • Settlement of all pending litigation.

Colts feel good about Manning Owner says he’s not overly concerned neck surgery will hamper star quarterback. By MICHAEL MAROT AP Sports Writer

Jim Irsay isn’t worried about Peyton Manning’s health yet. He’s just not entirely sure when Manning will start throwing to his teammates. The Colts owner told reporters Thursday in Atlanta he doesn’t expect offseason neck surgery to prevent Indianapolis’ franchise player from playing at his usually high level. “My sense is that he’s doing well,” Irsay said at the league’s owner meetings. “We’ve been through (his neck) surgery before. So I anticipate him being ready.” Manning also had neck surgery in March 2010. The comments come one day after The Indianapolis Star reported that Manning would not be ready to participate at the start of training camp. Irsay did not elaborate on when Manning would start practicing. But there are indications Manning’s recovery from May surgery has not gone smoothly. Archie Manning, the longtime NFL quarterback and father of the league’s first family, said in

early June that his son’s rehab wasn’t going as quickly as expected. Two weeks ago at the family’s annual football Manning camp in Louisiana, Manning acknowledged he’s taken a cautious approach to rehab because he was unable to work with the Colts trainers during the four-month lockout. Manning also limited his throws to short tosses at the camp. Not surprisingly, that has led to speculation he won’t be ready to practice when training camp is scheduled to open Aug. 1. Players are scheduled to report to Anderson University, about 40 miles northeast of Indianapolis on July 31. Even agent Tom Condon can’t say for sure when Manning will be in uniform. “Everybody knows Peyton is going through the rehab and I’d be way out of place commenting on that,” Condon said Wednesday. Irsay, however, believes the cornerstone of his franchise will not only be ready for another big season but will live up to the title of highest-paid player in league history.

Burress talks to kids about past problems

By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — As Plaxico Burress grabbed a microphone and started telling his story Thursday afternoon to about 100 children, some of the kids were murmuring and chattering among themselves. And then he said “gun.” The kids got quiet in a hurry. This is what the former — and, he hopes, future — NFL wide receiver has been doing for the past few weeks. Released from prison last month after serving nearly two years on a gun charge, Burress has vowed to use his failings as fuel for others, pointing to himself as the illustration that everything can change in an instant. “I carried a loaded gun into a nightclub and the gun accidentally discharged and I ended up shooting myself, my own self, in the leg,” Burress told the kids, part of the Urban League of Bro-

ward County. “I was playing professional football at the time. I had just won a Super Bowl. I had just received a Burress brand-new contract. I had just signed a shoe deal with Nike. The choice that I made, basically it took everything away that I worked so hard for.” Burress arrived about two hours late to the event because of scheduling conflicts, then chatted and shook hands with the kids for about 30 minutes. He refused to talk about his NFL future with reporters Thursday, though has said in recent radio interviews that he’s eager for another chance in the NFL. And he smiled when one child asked him if he would consider playing for the Miami Dolphins.

Calcavecchia shares lead at Senior British Open The Associated Press

WALTON ON THE HILL, England — Mark Calcavecchia defied the afternoon rain to shoot a bogey-free 68 and take a three-way share of the firstround lead at the Senior British Open on Thursday. Bidding to become the fourth player to win both the British Open and the senior version, the 51-year-old American had two birdies on either side of the turn before parring the final five holes. Calcavecchia, winner of the British Open at Troon in 1989, was joined on 4 under by Ireland’s Mark McNulty and Australia’s Mike Harwood, who earlier benefited from still and dry conditions on the parkland course at Walton Heath that hosted the 1981 Ryder Cup. “The weather moved in when we were on No. 11 — it wasn’t horrible but it made it tougher for sure,” said Calcavecchia, one of three players not to drop a shot in their first rounds. “Not making any bogeys was nice, so

it was a good score, a good start.” South Africa’s David Frost and Scotland’s Albert MacKenzie were a shot behind, with defending champion Bernhard Langer of Germany one of seven players who shot 70. Americans Bob Tway, Mike Goodes and Lee Rinker were among those tied with Langer. Tom Lehman and Mark O’Meara finished with 71s and Corey Pavin was another stroke back. Three-time winner and eighttime major champion Tom Watson shot a 75, which included a double bogey at No. 8 after finding the middle of the fairway off the tee. “I wasted a lot of strokes on the greens today. I made two putts, that’s about it,” Watson said.

That’s a boon for Caterpillar, the world’s largest maker of construction and mining equipment. Strong overseas demand means financial analysts expect Caterpillar to report a 60 percent jump in second-quarter earnings per share today.

Europe news boosts stocks

News that European leaders are drawing up a new rescue plan for Greece is driving stock indexes higher. European officials say they’ll give Greece a new package of rescue loans. They also plan to lower interest rates and lengthen payback terms for Greece, Ireland and Portugal. Worries about Europe’s debt crisis have been hanging over markets for weeks. Express Scripts Inc. shares rose $2.81 at $55.36. The pharmacy benefits manager announced it is buying rival Medco Health for $29.1 billion. The giant company could get bigger drug discounts.

WASHINGTON — The economy’s spring slump appears to be extending into the summer, according to a slew of mixed data released Thursday. Layoffs are rising. Manufacturing activity in the Northeast expanded only slightly in July after contracting in June. Economic growth is projected to pick up this fall, but not enough to give businesses confidence to hire and speed the recovery. The economy could lapse even further if Congress and the Obama administration fail to reach agreement on raising the nation’s borrowing limit in the coming week. For the moment, traders on Wall

The economy could lapse even further if Congress and the Obama administration fail to reach agreement on raising the nation’s borrowing limit in the coming week.

Pennsylvania’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 7.6 percent in June, up from 7.4 percent in May but 1.1 percentage points lower than in June 2010, the Department of Labor & Industry announced Thursday. The U.S. jobless rate in June was 9.2 percent. The state’s seasonally adjusted civilian labor force – the number of people working or looking for work – was down 17,000 in June to 6,327,000. Resident employment fell by 25,000 while the number of unemployed residents was up 8,000. The labor force was 12,000 below its June 2010 level.

The Transportation Department says it will allow Delta Air Lines Inc. and US Airways to trade landing rights in New York and Washington — as long as they sell some of the rights to other airlines. The airline proposal calls for Delta to give US Airways 42 pairs of takeoff and landing rights at Reagan along with cash in exchange for Delta getting 132 slot pairs at LaGuardia. The end result would be a much larger Delta presence at LaGuardia, and a larger US Airways Group Inc. presence in Washington.

negative 7.7, the lowest level in two years. Any figure below zero indicates contraction. The Conference Board also projected modest growth for the broader economy in the coming months based on its latest reading of its leading economic indicators. The index rose in June for the second straight month. It had declined in April, the first time that had happened in nearly a year. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and other economist have largely attributed the slumping economy to temporary factors. But Bernanke has acknowledged that some troubles, such as depressed housing markets and tight credit, are more long-lasting.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. government no longer owns a piece of Chrysler. Italian automaker Fiat SpA paid $560 million for the government’s remaining 98,000 shares of Chrysler Group LLC, the U.S. Treasury Department said Thursday. Fiat has run the company since it emerged from bankruptcy protection in 2009. U.S. taxpayers gave $12.5 billion to Chrysler and its financing arm after the recession hampered auto sales and brought Chrysler and General Motors Co. to the brink of collapse. The funds came from the government’s $700 billion bank bailout fund. Of the original Chrysler bailout, $11.2 billion has been repaid. The U.S. Treasury Department says it likely won’t recover the remaining $1.3 billion. Under a bankruptcy deal, Fiat received a 20 percent stake in Chrysler for taking over management of the Detroit carmaker. The Italian automaker has gradually raised its stake in Chrysler, and Thursday’s purchase of the last U.S. shares, along with a small stake held by Canada, means Fiat owns 53.5 percent.

Geisinger touts its new local $1.8 million endovascular suite

By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. – Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center on Thursday unveiled its new $1.8 million endovascular suite, the first and only facility of its kind in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The area in the Richard and Marion Pearsall Heart Hospital combines technologies found in a cardiac catheterization laboratory and those of a traditional cardiac operating room, allowing the medical staff to explore a patient’s vascular system using minimally invasive techniques during or immediately before surgery. The room is staffed by two operating room staff members and two cardiac catheterization lab workers, plus a surgeon and an anesthetist. As lead cardiac catheterization lab nurse Angela Naperkowski explained, nurses can inject dye into a patient’s circulatory system via a catheter and use imaging equipment to identify blockages. “If (a surgeon) would feel that the patient needs surgery, they can go ahead and do that,” she said. “The staff is

They have the capacity to go right in.” Hospital administrators described the operating suite as being on the cutting edge of medical technology. “There is not one thing that will be done in this room that can be done better anywhere else,” said Dr. David Franklin, chairman of surgery for the Geisinger Health Care System. “It’s tangible evidence of the high level of commitment Geisinger has to the vascular care of our patients here,” said Dr. David Mariner, director of vascular and endovascular surgery at Geisinger Wyoming Valley. “The strokes we pre-

the facility, which has been in use since March, is part of a larger shift in the hospital’s role from community hospital to regional referral center. The Pearsall Heart Hospital first opened in 2001.

Gold’s price per ounce Thursday F

Still golden

Gold has crossed another milestone – this time, $1,600 an ounce – as investors looking for big returns keep buying it. They’ve sent gold up 12 percent this year. It settled at $1,587 Thursday, after trading as high as $1,605 in the morning. Gold is also seen as a safe investment, and investors are worried about debt problems on both sides of the Atlantic. But gold can also be volatile, and its next move could be down, says Jon Nadler, an analyst with Kitco Metals.

Much of the demand for gold is from speculators. They might abandon it if two things happen: Congress and President Obama make a deal to raise the U.S. borrowing limit before an Aug. 2 deadline, and Europe’s debt problems show more signs of easing. On Thursday, European officials and the International Monetary Fund agreed on a bailout for Greece. But countries like Spain and Italy are still struggling. Still, gold can be tempting. Financial analysts say these are the best ways to invest:

ETFs

Gold miners

Exchange-traded funds trade like stocks and are a way for investors to own gold without having to store bars or coins. SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) is the biggest gold ETF, with $64 billion in assets. When it issues shares to meet investor demand, it buys more gold. The value of each share rises and falls with gold’s price.

Tom Winmill, portfolio manager of the gold-focused Midas fund, says mining stocks are cheap. Newmont Mining (NEM) trades at 13 times its expected earnings per share over the next year. That’s below its five-year average of 20 times and close to the S&P 500’s 12 times. SOURCE: FactSet

Today will once again be one of the hottest days we see this summer and make for three straight days of 90 degrees, which classiﬁes this as being a true “heat wave.” They tend to be self sustaining when a slow moving a dome of high pressure extending upwards to 25,000 feet warms the air aloft to prevent clouds from forming. Day by day the soil gets drier which allows the low level air to get hotter, and so the heat wave intensiﬁes. We will likely see four straight 90 degree days this week as readings on Sunday may stay only in the 80s. There may be a thunderstorm this weekend along with a heavy consumption of ice cream. - Tom Clark
