WILKES-BARRE – A young woman about to enter her sophomore year at King’s College was killed by a hit-and-run driver on Hazle Avenue early Tuesday morning. The Luzerne County Coroner’s Office identified her as 19-year-old Rebecca McCallick. Police said they are searching for a black McCallick or dark colored pickup truck with a loud exhaust and possibly a diesel engine. McCallick was majoring in psychology at King’s College and was a 2011 graduate of Crestwood High School. “She was the brightest, nicest girl. Easygoing,” said Joseph Webby, 24, of Mountain Top, who said McCallick was dating his cousin, John Schenck, 23. McCallick and Schenck had resided together at 199 Hazle Ave. for several months. “She never had a problem with nobody,” Webby said. Police said McCallick was struck in front of her apartment at about 2:23 a.m. She was transported to Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township, where she was pronounced dead at 2:56 a.m. An autopsy is scheduled today at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Mary Jean Humphrey, of Utica, N.Y., said she was in her son’s Hazle Avenue apartment reading a book when she heard tires screeching just before 2:30 a.m. Humphrey said it sounded as if the vehicle had stopped and suddenly drove off, squealing its tires. “It was definitely a peel, like See FATAL, Page 10A

County’s assessment rank slips By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County’s property assessments have lost their ranking as the most accurate in the state, slipping to the sixth spot. The change occurred because property owners are selling their real estate below assessed values due to the sluggish real estate market, officials said. But county assessment director Tony Alu said the assessments haven’t veered far enough from sales prices to warrant another reassessment at this time. “To me, we’re still in pretty good shape,” Alu said. The ranking comes from the State Tax Equalization Board, which compares assessments to actual sales in the prior year to calculate an annual statistic called a common level ratio.

values are wrong. This is just a product of the economy,” Alu said. Alu would rather be over 100 because he expects the gap between assessments and sales to close again when the economy rebounds. “As sales prices rise, we’ll get closer to 100 again,” he said. This type of recovery isn’t possible if sales are already outpacing stale assessments, he said. Alu believes the safe zone to avoid another reassessment is a ratio between 85 and 115. The county’s last revaluation, which took effect in 2009, cost $8 million and was difficult because the values had not been updated since 1965. The next reassessment is supposed to be done in-house and cost signifi-

The ideal ratio is 100. Ratios above 100 indicate properties are selling below assessed values, while scores under 100 show sales higher than assessments. Luzerne County’s common level ratio was the closest to 100 of all 67 counties in the state the last two years – 99.7 in 2009 and 100.4 in 2010. The newly released county ratio for 2011 – 109.4 – indicates sale prices are running below assessed values, said Alu. “I don’t believe the assessed See TAXES, Page 10A

Road enforcement planned

Northeast Highway Safety announced aggressive-driving enforcement activities as part of a statewide wave that continues through Aug. 16. Police departments in the townships of Dallas, Kingston, Plains and Wilkes-Barre, the borough of Laflin, and the cities of Hazleton and Wilkes-Barre, as well as Pennsylvania State Police, will be participating in enforcement in Luzerne County. Police remind motorists to keep their distance from aggressive drivers who exhibit behaviors such as speeding, tailgating and running red lights. Drivers stopped by police will be ticketed. The enforcement is a part of the Pennsylvania Aggressive Driving Enforcement and Education Project and is funded by PennDOT’s statewide investment of $2.3 million in federal funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Carroll’s in-laws killed

The in-laws of state Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Avoca, died Friday in a three-vehicle crash along Route 29 in Upper Hanover Township, Montgomery County. State police at Skippack said Theodore and Mary Ann Hiriak lived in Hereford Township, Berks County. He was 73, she was 69. One of the couple’s three daughters, Kelly, is married to Carroll. State police said William Ludlow, 18, of East Greenville, was northbound on Route 29 and, while turning left onto Palm Hill Road, hit the Hiriaks’ Chrysler Sebring, driven by Theodore Hiriak, which was traveling south on Route 29. The crash forced the Hiriaks’ vehicle into the path of a vehicle driven by Amanda Berthoud, 21, of Hereford. The Hiriaks were pronounced dead at Lehigh Valley Hospital, according to police. Their obituary appears on Page 6A in today’s Times Leader.

Study to determine drilling effects

By MATT HUGHES/mhughes@timesleader.com

ONROE TWP. – If something is wrong in the water, the bugs know first. So to determine whether the natural gas wells and pipelines sprawling across Northeastern Pennsylvania are affecting the region’s water, researchers at Wilkes University are paying close attention to bugs and other small animals that make area streams their home. Biology and environmental sci-

ence students on Tuesday collected insects and other small aquatic animals from Leonard Creek in Monroe Township, Wyoming County, near a natural gas pipeline. The samples will be evaluated as part of a year-long study, begun in January, to gauge the impact of drilling activities on aquatic macro invertebrates. In all, the study will evaluate the health of 18 streams near gas wells and pipelines in five counties – Bradford, Luzerne, Sullivan,

Susquehanna and Wyoming – as well as two in counties where no gas development has taken place. “If there is pollution that gets into a stream, the first thing that are going to be affected are the living things in the water,” research project director Erich Schramm said. “It’s kind of like an early warning system.” “It’s an indicator about how it can See BUGS, Page 7A

Driver accused of fatally hitting man in wheelchair gets hearing By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A woman who police allege struck a disabled man in a wheelchair is scheduled for a preliminary hearing today in Wilkes-Barre Central Court. No additional charges have been filed against Danielle R. Castrignano, 20, of Kingston, since Corey Ryan, 20, died June 29, two weeks after police said he was struck by a vehicle while crossing South River Street in a wheelchair.

Ryan died in Hospice Community Care in Dunmore. Police charged Castrignano with accidents involving death, a third-degree felony, on June 17, a day after she surrendered to authorities. Police allege Castrignano was driving a Subaru traveling north on South River Street when she struck Ryan. Castrignano drove away and crossed the Market Street Bridge, police said. Castrignano allegedly told police she believed she struck a shopping cart.

Police recovered Castrignano’s vehicle parked near the Woodlands Inn & Resort in Plains Township. Arrest records say that an anonymous caller to police claimed Castrignano had been drinking at a nightclub in downtown Wilkes-Barre before she struck Ryan. Police have not said if they uncovered video of Castrignano leaving the nightclub from any of the surveillance cameras in the downtown area. Castrignano was released from the Luzerne County Cor-

rectional Facility on July 10 when a district judge modified her bail from $10,000 straight to unsecured. A probation violation on unrelated offenses was filed against Castrignano after her arrest on June 17, but a county judge granted her immediate parole, according to court records. Police were unable to have Castrignano submit to a blood test to determine if alcohol was in her system due to the extended time after Ryan was struck to when she surrendered to au-

thorities. A conviction of homicide by vehicle while intoxicated is a mandatory three-year prison sentence. Gov. Tom Corbett on July 5 signed legislation that closed a loophole in the law, making accidents involving death a second-degree felony and giving judges more discretion at sentencing. Castrignano’s punishment, if one is imposed, will fall under guidelines prior to the law change.

W-B man LCTA sentenced for assault WILKES-BARRE – A city man acquitted last month of the most serious charges relating to the alleged rape of a woman was sentenced Tuesday to one to two years in county prison on two other charges he was found guilty of. Luis Suarez Perez, 30, of Grant Street, was sentenced by Judge Tina Polachek Gartley on charges of terroristic threats and simple assault. Polachek Gartley also ordered Perez to serve two years’ probation. A Luzerne County jury last month found Perez not guilty on two counts of rape, two counts of aggravated assault and one count each of burglary and reckless endangerment, relating to the April 2011 incident. Perez was immediately paroled Tuesday, having already served more than 420 days in prison. Assistant District Attorney Jenny Roberts said Perez should receive a greater sentence because a deadly weapon – a knife – was used in the assault. Polachek Gartley used that guidance when sentencing Perez. Perez’s attorney, Mark Singer, said his client has no prior criminal record, has a job and is taking care of a 1-year-old. According to court papers, on April 4, 2011, the woman claimed Perez grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the floor several times, before holding a knife to her neck and sexually assaulting her twice. Polachek Gartley ordered Perez to have no contact with the woman and to attend anger management class. The judge also said Perez is prohibited from having weapons.

said “no groping” took place in the 2009 incident and asked Licata to define groping. Licata said groping is “touching a person for sexual gratification. … In the investigation, the word groping was never used and never brought up to the board,” he said. Turinski said he brought it up to Strelish because he witnessed a conversation in which the bus driver complained to the supervisor about what he allegedly did. “As soon as you put your hands on somebody, that’s assault, and that’s why I don’t understand why

WILKES-BARRE – A man charged with robbing a taxi cab driver at knifepoint and robbing a convenience store while threatening to shoot a clerk pleaded guilty Tuesday to related charges as well as several charges stemming from other incidents. Christopher Marvin Miller, 23, with a last known address of Lehigh Street, WilkesBarre, entered the plea before Judge Tina Polachek Gartley to two counts of robbery, two counts of theft by unlawful taking and one count each of simple assault and possession of drug paraphernalia. In July 2011, Miller pleaded guilty to two counts of retail theft stemming from incidents at two local stores. Polachek Gartley said Miller will be sentenced on all charges on Aug. 20. He faces three and a half to seven years in prison on the robbery charge relating to the robbery of the cab driver and could receive additional time on the other charges.

Miller was represented by attorney William Watt. Assistant District Attorney Jill Matthews Lada prosecuted the case Tuesday. According to court papers, on Nov. 30 Miller held a knife to the throat of a Burgit Taxi driver and demanded all his money. Police said the driver followed Miller after he fled the cab and Miller was apprehended a short time later. On Aug. 12, 2010, police said Miller entered the Pantry Quik on Carey Avenue in Wilkes-Barre and asked the clerk to borrow a pen and paper. A clerk told police a note placed on the counter read, “Give me the money or I will shoot.” The clerk said Miller tried to take money from the register but was unsuccessful and fled the store. Other incidents Miller was allegedly involved in between June 24, 2010 and Oct. 6, 2011 included attempted thefts at Walmart and Wegmans in Wilkes-Barre Township and theft of a television from an Ashley home.

the authorities were never called in.” Blazosek said Turinski was free to call police and asked if he did. “Nope. It’s the same as the Penn State thing. I went to the higherups; that’s as high as I could go and that’s as far as it ever went. I was told to keep it in-house, that it would be handled in-house,” Turinski said. Blazosek disagreed, saying Turinski was told that his statements should not be “broadcast for the reasons of privacy of both the person that claimed to have been affected by this incident and anyone connected with it so we could conduct a full and complete review of everything.” Also at the meeting, an accountant from the LCTA’s auditor explained to the board how senior citizen ridership affects the authority’s funding. He said unless there was a huge fluctuation, the impact on funding would be little to none. Conway last week also said bus drivers were told by Strelish to artificially inflate counts of senior citizen riders to boost government funding. Strelish denied that and told county council he was considering legal action “against all parties who have unjustly accused me of any wrongdoings.”

Conway attended Tuesday’s work session and an executive session that followed, but he did not stay for the board meeting. At that meeting, union shop steward Eric Turinski asked Strelish if there was video footage “of the victim being harassed again” on March 6. Human Resources Director Renee Craig said she saw the video and it was “questionable what was said or done because you couldn’t see any mouths moving, other than a smirk,” that the bus driver was walking to her bus and the supervisor was returning a van. Turinski said after the meeting that the bus driver and supervisor were to have no contact and that he backed the van toward her. He also said non-sexual harassment of the bus driver was ongoing. Strelish said he was not made aware of any other harassment. At the meeting, Turinski said he read that board member Sal Licata

Mystery of Utah ‘goat man’ solved

Man tells authorities he was getting ready for hunting season in Canada.

A ‘Mona Lisa’ mystery probed

SALT LAKE CITY — A man spotted dressed in a goat suit among a herd of wild goats in the mountains of northern Utah has been identified as a hunter preparing for a Canadian archery season. After a hiker spotted the socalled goat man on July15 in the mountains above Ogden, about 40 miles north of Salt Lake City,

wildlife officials said they wanted to talk to the person to be certain he was aware of the dangers as hunting season approaches. They speculated he might have been an extreme wildlife enthusiast who just wanted to get as close as possible to the goats. This week, however, the mystery was solved. Phil Douglass of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said he received a call Monday from a 57-year-old Southern California hunter who explained he was merely trying out his goat suit in preparation for a mountain goat

hunt in Canada next year. “He gave me enough details about the area and the situation that it made me feel confident this was him,” Douglass said Tuesday. “In talking to him, I felt he was very knowledgeable, a very experienced hunter. He’s hunted internationally,” Douglass added. “My concern all along was thatthispersonneededtounderstand the risks, and certainly after talking to him, I felt he was doing the best he could to underAP PHOTO stand and mitigate those risks ...

Lisa Gherardini was the wife of a silk merchant called Francesco del Giocondo (in fact, Italians refer to the Mona Lisa as the Gioconda).

Earhart questions remain The fate of famed aviator Amelia Earhart remains a mystery. The latest expedition failed to find the wreckage of the plane she was flying when she went missing 75 years ago. Earhart, born 115 years ago Tuesday, and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were lost on their July 2, 1937, flight from New Guinea to Howland Island in the central Pacific Ocean. Earhart was trying to become the first woman to fly around the planet.

The home used propane tanks but the cause of the explosion wasn’t known yet, authorities said. Sarah Johnson’s body was found in the debris at the rear of the home, Filicetti said.

PM’s ex-aide is charged British authorities on Tuesday charged an ex-aide to the prime minister, a former protege of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, and six others in the ever-widening phone hacking scandal, accusing them of key roles in a campaign of illegal espionage that victimized hundreds of people including top celebrities Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The announcement was a major development in a saga that has shaken Britain’s establishment and shows no sign of winding down. Police said earlier this week they are probing new newspapers and dozens of fresh allegations. The Crown Prosecution Service’s Alison Levitt announced Tuesday that Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks — both former editors of Murdoch’s nowshuttered News of the World tabloid — were among those being charged with conspiring to intercept the communications of more than 600 people between Oct. 3, 2000, and Aug. 9, 2006.

JERUSALEM — Israel’s military chief warned Tuesday that an attack on Syrian chemical weapons depots could drag Israel into a broader war, counseling restraint after top officials declared they were prepared to strike to keep those weapons out of militants’ hands. In Syria on Tuesday fighter jets unleashed sonic booms and helicopter gunships strafed rebels as they pressed their fight into new neighborhoods in Aleppo. Farther south, ground troops combed Damascus after the nearly complete rout of the largest rebel assault yet on the capital. After a series of setbacks, President Bashar Assad’s forces are solidifying their grip on the two cities. Israel is afraid militants like Lebanon’s Hezbollah could seize Syria’s chemical weapons should the violence convulsing Syria drive the central government to collapse. The Israeli military chief, Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, told parliament’s foreign affairs and defense committee that the Syrian army has stepped up security around the country’s chemical weapons stocks. “To the best of my judgment, at this point they remain in control of this network. They are protecting it and beefing up the security around it and it hasn’t yet reached unwelcome hands, though that could change,” he said, according to the military’s website. Israel will continue to monitor the situation, but it must proceed carefully to avoid a situation “of a broader offensive than we planned,” according to a statement on the website summarizing his remarks. In recent days, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak have warned that Israel would be ready to attack Syrian weapons depots to prevent militants from raiding them. On Monday, Syria threatened to unleash its chemical and biological weapons if the country faces a foreign attack.

Officials: Gunman’s hit rate suggests much practice By RICHARD A. SERRANO Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON – In the wake of Friday’s massacre at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater, law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation say the gunman must have had a substantial amount of target practice before the shootings. They based their assessment on what they call the gunman’s "unusually high" hit rate during the attack in the theater. Twelve people were killed, and 58 were injured.

Look in

The gunman used – perhaps most notably – an AR-15 assault-style rifle with a magazine that could hold as many as 100 rounds. But when that weapon jammed, authorities said, he switched to a less powerful weapon. He also carried a 12-gauge shotgun and a Glock .40-caliber pistol, authorities say. Police said they recovered a second Glock from the suspect’s car. Among other things, the law enforcement officials said, authorities are searching the suspect’s apartment for

evidence of a gun range receipt, a brochure, related information he accessed on his computer or phone calls he may have placed to a range. Or the gunman could have simply gone out to the prairie east of Aurora and practiced alone, much like Tucson shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner did before the attack in Arizona last year. One local shooting range owner said the suspect in the Aurora case, James E. Holmes, applied for membership at

his club in June. But when the owner, Glenn Rotkovich, called Holmes, he was unnerved by the answering machine message. "It was this very bass, guttural, rambling, incoherent message that was bizarre, at best," Rotkovich told the Los Angeles Times on Sunday. "Freakish, maybe." Rotkovich ultimately told his staff not to follow through with Holmes without checking with him, but Holmes never showed up.

Ruth M. McCourt July 23, 2012 uth Marie McCourt, 78, of Philadelphia and Meshoppen, died R Monday, July 23, 2012, at the Liber-

ty County Medical Center in Chester, Mont, from lung cancer. Ruth was 78 years old. She was born in Temple University Hospital in North Philadelphia on January 16, 1934 to Yugoslavian immigrants, Kosta and Lena Iova. The love of Ruth’s life was her daughter, Margaret Regina Ziebo, affectionately known as Jeannie, born on May 27, 1956. Ruth was divorced shortly after Jeannie’s birth. As a single mom devoted to the support of her daughter, Ruth was always employed at more than one job. When Ruth retired at age 62, from her longtime career as secretary/receptionist at Philip Murray House, 6300 Old York Rd., and from a long-term part-time job as waitress at Kings Caterers. Many years ago, while working at Kings Caterers, Ruth met and became friends with fellow employee Mike McCourt. Almost 40 years later, after Mike’s divorce, he and Ruth were married. The two of them lived out their retirement together in a quaint little retirement cottage they purchased from Ruth’s sister, Helen Comber, in the small Pocono Mountain community of Meshoppen. There they shared a rich and fulfilling retirement life. Throughout her life, Mom was an avid pinochle player. Even in Meshoppen, Ruth and Mike continued playing with neighbors, friends and house guests. Ruth was a dedicated supporter of the Tunkhannock Soup Kitchen. She and her neighbor Peg were faithful volunteers who helped the cooks prepare the meals and then served them every Monday night. Ruth’s other favorite activities in the Tunkhannock area included trips to the Candle Shop in Marshall’s Creek, shopping and sharing lunches with friends. Ruth loved Christmas in the mountains, especially the free yearly showing of “It’s a Wonderful Life” at the Dietrick Theater followed by driving round the area to look at all the residential Christmas light displays. Ruth also greatly enjoyed entertaining the many friends and family who would come to visit from the city. Ruth loved her daughter, Regina (Jeannie), and looked forward to here yearly visit to Montana to spend time with her daughter and her husband and to spend time with her two grandchildren, Johnny and Michael. Her trip was always timed so that they could all share a Mother’s Day banquet at the historical Grand Union Hotel in Fort Benton, Mont. She loved to travel, and greatly enjoyed the many trips she and Mike would take back to the city to spend time with family and friends. Her most memorable big trip, of recent memory, was a Mother-Daughter trip to Branson, Mo., where they enjoyed the shows, rode a river boat, ate at great buffets and stayed out as late as they wanted. It was a trip of a lifetime with great shared joys for them both. Once diagnosed with cancer, Ruth spent time in Meshoppen seeking medical treatment. When it was clear treatment was not working, Ruth elected to cease it. She then spent time saying goodbye to beloved family and friends before traveling to Montana so she could be with her daughter, Jeannie, who is a home health care professional. Ruth received hospice care while living with her extended family in Montana. At first, she was active,

Ted spent his career working in the Bally Ribbon Mill for 33 years until his retirement. Both Mary Ann and Ted loved life’s simple pleasures at their home in Hereford Township, where they were thrilled to entertain their eight grandchildren. Rides through the forest on grandpa’s gator were endless. In addition, they were fortunate to have an opportunity to see many of the world’s sights during their annual vacations. One of their favorite destinations was Old Forge, N.Y., where they shared many memorable days with their extended family. They shared many interests including wine making, cooking, gardening and reading. Mary Ann and Ted celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on May 12, 2012. The occasion was marked with a celebration surrounded by family and friends at their favorite restaurant, the Carriage House. Their love for each other, their children and grandchildren was without limit. Each was preceded in death by

but fighting off the pain. Ruth loved and greatly appreciated the visits, the phone calls and the many cards and greetings she received from friends, family and neighbors near and far. Neighbors and church people enjoyed visiting with Ruth as she walked to the post office or during fellowship hours after services at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church. As the cancer progressed and mobility failed, her absence was acknowledged with the prayers and concerns of many. Her home hospice ended on Monday, July 16, when immobility and pain forced her into the hospital setting. Ruth is preceded in death by her parents, Kosta and Lena Iova; and step-son, Michael McCourt. Ruth is survived by her husband, Mike (Michael) J. McCourt; daughter, Regina Fauerbach (John); grandsons, Johnny and Michael Fauerbach; sisters, Mary Hagan (Buddy) of Philadelphia, Helen Comber, Myrtle Beach, S.C.; brother, Mike Iova (Betty), Philadelphia.

affect everything else later on,â&#x20AC;? added Courtney Sperger, a postbaccalaureate associate with Wilkesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Institute for Energy and Environmental Research. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About how the poisons and chemicals can continue on, if they (exist) at all.â&#x20AC;? Insects can provide a clear indication of a streamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health because different varieties of insects can tolerate different levels of pollution, Schramm said. Mayflies and caddisflies, for example, are very sensitive to pollution and require very clean water to survive, while freshwater leeches and aquatic worms can live just about anywhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I once did a sample under a sewage treatment plant, and found nothing but freshwater leeches,â&#x20AC;? Schramm said. Students clad in rubber waders dragged nets through the creek, scooping up crane flies, crayfish and even a salamander. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re outside half the time sampling,â&#x20AC;? said Kristie Ciaston, a senior biology major from Hamlin, Wayne County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not stuck in a lab all day.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a controversial issue, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of neat to be a part of determining whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good or bad,â&#x20AC;? said Jessica Bonczewski, a senior environmental science major from Moscow, Lackawanna County. Schramm said the early stages of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research have found little impact from drilling activities. The salamander students found Tuesday is an excellent indicator of a healthy stream, Schramm said. Beyond science, the research Wilkes is conducting is of interest to residents living near drilling, researchers added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to address all the concerns that citizens have,â&#x20AC;? Sperger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I know that a lot of northern Luzerne County is concerned with pipelines and well pads because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what can most directly affect the (water) in their area.â&#x20AC;?

By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

In a move to speed the regulatory approval process for businesses, Gov. Tom Corbett on Tuesday signed an executive order demanding the Department of Environmental Protection establish firm time limits for reviewing environmental permitting applications. The permit decision guarantee replaces a 1995 executive order establishing a money-backguarantee for permit fees paid by applicants that DEP could not complete in time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the biggest complaints I have received over and over

again is the time it takes for businesses, nonprofit organizations and local governments to work through the permitting process,â&#x20AC;? Corbett said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I promised to correct this, and today we are setting the wheels in motion to deliver on that promise.â&#x20AC;? Corbettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order notes that the permit decision guarantee may extend to permits â&#x20AC;&#x153;with the most direct impacts on the protection of public health, safety and the environment, as well as economic development.â&#x20AC;? It also notes that an applicantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permit must be judged complete before the clock starts ticking.

The permit-dependent natural gas industry applauded the order. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe these commonsense efforts will help further ensure that Pennsylvania remains a competitive place to do business while at the same time protecting the Commonwealthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment,â&#x20AC;? Marcellus Shale Coalition President Kathryn Klaber said in a statement. George Jugovic Jr., president and CEO of environmental advocacy group PennEnvironment, decried the decision, saying it will only further burden an overworked and understaffed department.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to determine whether a gas well is going to impact a specific water supply in Pennsylvania thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that the public should not be shorted on in terms of thorough review,â&#x20AC;? Jugovic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When someone wants to put a landfill near a public source of drinking water the public should not be shorted on that review because someone in executive offices doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hear complaints about review time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What would be new and fresh would be if they actually gave hardworking agency employees credit for the good jobs that they

do, and actually giving them more resources and more money to hire more staff,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just mandating shorter review times seems to be hardly commensurate with protecting the environment.â&#x20AC;? DEP spokesman Kevin Sunday said the department was already working to update its review schedules for particular permit types, and to determine backlog levels for different types of permits, which range from approvals for simple construction projects to much more detailed engineering analyses for large-scale projects like dams.

Protesters blast Pa. voter ID law

By PETER JACKSON Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Hundreds of demonstrators descended on Pennsylvania’s Capitol on Tuesday to protest a tough new voter ID law, launching a daylong political drama that set the stage for a state court hearing on a lawsuit seeking to prevent the law from taking effect this year. The protesters — civil-rights activists, union members and others — chanted, waved signs and cheered as speakers portrayed the mandatory photo ID requirement as part of a cynical effort by Republicans to suppress voters turnout and gain an advantage in a presidential election year. “They know that, when people don’t vote, they win. ... We’re going to stop it and stand at the borders of Pennsylvania and say ‘Everybody in America has a right to vote,’ ” said Pennsylvania AFL-CIO President Rick Bloomingdale. Hilary O. Shelton, senior vice president for advocacy at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, noted that even supporters of the law — one of the toughest in the nation — cannot cite any cases of voter impersonation in Pennsylvania. “It is a solution looking for a problem,” Shelton told the crowd gathered on the Capitol steps around a 25-foot inflatable replica of the Liberty Bell. Similar protests are scheduled today in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Allentown. The rally came one day before the state Commonwealth Court is set to open a hearing in Harrisburg on a lawsuit seeking to block the law from taking effect on Nov. 6, Election Day. Civil-rights groups representing the 10 Pennsylvania voters who are the plaintiffs contend that the law is unconstitutional and would disenfranchise many

poor people, senior citizens and minorities, who are less than likely to have the required photo IDs. Supporters say the law is simply an extra layer of protection against voter fraud, although the state Attorney General’s Office joined the plaintiffs in signing a stipulation that says neither side is aware of any incidents of in-person fraud. The law was passed earlier this year by the Republican-controlled Legislature with no Democratic votes and signed in March by GOP Gov. Tom Corbett. Secretary of State Carol Aichele, the state’s top elections official, sought to quietly schedule a post-rally news conference while the protest was in progress, but word leaked out and a leader of the rally announced it over the public-address system. About two dozen protesters tried to attend the news conference in a Senate meeting room, only to be blocked by Capitol police. Instead, they chanted and sang outside the room, nearly drowning out Aichele at times as she answered reporters’ questions. Inside the room, Aichele listed steps that her department has taken to ease difficulties facing some voters who lack a Pennsylvania driver’s license or one of several other forms of ID that are acceptable under the law. They include a special State Department photo ID that will be made available to voters who have trouble obtaining birth certificate copies. She expressed confidence that such initiatives and an intensive voter-education effort will ensure that all eligible voters can get valid IDs. The plaintiffs in the court case estimate at least 1 million of the 8.3 million registered voters currently lack them.

“Our election is in November … they’re not giving people the sufficient amount of time to equip themselves,” said Flora Jenkins, 49, of Plymouth. But timing wasn’t Jenkins’ main concern; the issue also is a matter of practicality, she said. “You need ID to get an ID,” she said, adding this created an obstacle to voting for some. Added another woman aboard, who said she was born in 1951 in Mississippi, “I didn’t get a birth certificate until I was in my 30s.” Jenkins, who is black, said she too was born in the South and said a lot of people from that region aren’t “properly documented,” including white people. The legislature requires voters to show an ID with an expiration date, issued through the government, nursing home or a higher education system. It must display the name and photo of the voter. “We’ve been voting for all these years and never took an ID with us,” said Jenkins. With Pennsylvania being the sixth most populous state in the

country, the voter ID law will continue to have a resounding local impact. Harrisburg rally organizers and other opponents maintain the law will prevent or deter thousands from voting in November. But state House Majority Chairman Daryl Metcalfe said he is in “support of photo ID to protect the vote,” his press release said. “Requiring the display of valid photo ID at the ballot box is without question absolutely essential to restoring integrity in Pennsylvania’s election process … be-

cause one fraudulently cast vote is one too many,” added Metcalfe, R-Butler. But a recent filing by the American Civil Liberties Union in the state Commonwealth Court contradicts that assertion. In a legal brief for a court hearing scheduled for today, the ACLU asserted, “There have been no investigations or prosecutions of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania; and the parties do not have direct personal knowledge of any such investigations or prosecutions in other states.”

PASHINSKI PRESS CONFERENCE State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, rescheduled a press conference that will announce an agreement between the state Department of State and PennDOT to issue new voter cards for registered voters who are not able to provide other documents needed to obtain a photo ID from PennDOT, such as a birth certificate. It will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at B’nai B’rith Apartments, 61 E. Northampton St., Wilkes-Barre.

OUR OPINION: CHILD MOLESTERS

Acquaint yourself with abuse facts

ITH ALL DUE respect to veteran WBRE-TV reporter Andy Mehalshick, it’s time to toss away the phrase “stranger danger.” It no longer suits to use those words for a public service campaign – even the Wilkes-Barre television station’s well-intentioned effort – if people misunderstand the all-too-real dangers posed by child predators the likes of ex-Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Let’s stop kidding ourselves about the offenders; they can be “nice guys” whom we know. And, moreover, let’s not dance around the issue of child exploitation, which seems to have been overshadowed lately by debates about coach Joe Paterno’s statue and the severity of the NCAA’s sanctions. If some “greater good” is what university officials, child advocates and observers aim to see result from this travesty, then let’s talk frankly about child pornography, child prostitution, sex tourism involving children and extra-familial child sexual molestation. Let’s give a platform to – and heed the advice of – experts from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and other advocacy groups. Let’s learn what they know. The NCAA, in its misguided sanctions revealed Monday, could have ordered that salt be poured on the Beaver Stadium

playing surface, so grass never again grows on that field. But such punitive action can’t comfort the abused, nor safeguard potential victims. Knowledge can. Consider, for instance, those old and frequently off-the-mark notions about scruffy strangers preying on kids. “People seem more willing to accept a sinister, unknown individual or ‘stranger’ from a different location or father/stepfather from a different socioeconomic background as a child molester than a clergy member, next-door neighbor, law-enforcement officer, pediatrician, teacher, coach, or volunteer,” wrote former FBI agent Kenneth V. Lanning, in “Child Molesters: A Behavioral Analysis for Professionals Investigating the Sexual Exploitation of Children.” “Acquaintance molesters often gain access to children through youth-serving organizations,” he wrote. “The acquaintance molester, by definition, is one of us.” Let’s not drop the ball on this teachable moment. For our children’s sakes, let’s get the facts.

OTHER OPINION: ABUSE SCANDAL

State, not NCAA, should steer PSU

GOVERNING BODY took action against Penn State on Monday, which sounds appropriate at first, given the horrible crimes and institutional failures that occurred. Unfortunately, it was the wrong governing body. The NCAA – the nonprofit organization that oversees college athletics and is a major engine driving “amateur” sports into big business and media spectacle – lacks the moral authority to make a much-needed point about misplaced priorities and college sports. For one thing, the NCAA rakes in nearly $700 million in television and marketing rights to air college sports. Penn State’s football culture was extreme, but not unique – a similar culture exists at plenty of NCAA schools, where sports are EDITORIAL BOARD

a big business with little connection to the traditional functions of a university, and ethical and legal lines are crossed regularly. Penn State will cough up $60 million. The money will be donated to child-abuse prevention, as it obviously should. But don’t forget that Penn State is a state school. The men and women elected to represent citizens of this commonwealth – the governor and lawmakers – must recognize that Penn State is their problem, and show more leadership in righting the ship. They can start by calling for the school’s board of trustees to resign. What’s important right now is a clean break with the past, and the leadership that allowed football to become more important than the lives of children. Philadelphia Daily News

When bad things happen, Bacon and eggs won’t be let’s make good decisions the same without Tony’s

lthough I disagree with the severity of the NCAA sanctions placed on Penn State University and believe most of them punish the wrong people, I can’t help but be reminded of the adage, “Bad things happen when good men do nothing.” The sickening sins of a monster went undetected for a time by many, many people, not just PSU! After the worst part of this – the victims’ suffering – is a second level, almost as damning. As parents, we tell our children that if anything peculiar happens, they can tell us, or a teacher or a coach. Well, trustworthy people were told, especially when Joe Paterno came into the picture. He was a great coach, known far and wide for his character and kindness. But it only takes one colossally bad choice to bring down a legend. Now my beloved PSU must spend years proving to a disbelieving country that the morality of the campus was not lost in the stadium lights. Stay strong, students. Prove that we are still “Penn State proud.” Yes, bad things happen when good men do nothing.

ere’s a little story about Jim Zambito, proprietor of Tony’s Restaurant on Wyoming Avenue in Kingston, now closed for good. In 1996, with the Susquehanna River expected to spill over the levees and an evacuation in progress, a small crisis occurred. One of the American Red Cross mobile field kitchens responding to the Wyoming Valley from a distant location – Kentucky, I believe – arrived to discover that all the cooking utensils had been left behind at the home chapter. Zambito got wind of this and loaned the Red Cross volunteers everything he could spare, and then some – several thousand dollars worth of equipment, all told. I was the courier that day, and as he helped me load the gear, Jim made no mention of returning the items, as most of us would in a similar situation. He simply said, “God bless these people for coming to help us.” This particular story has a happy ending. By the slimmest of margins there was no major flooding, and Jim got everything back a day or so later. Though I’ve been a Democrat since I first registered in 1969, as Jim has likely known all along, I’ve been a “bacon, eggs

Bagpiper with asthma backs fight for clean air

’ve been a bagpiper in the Wyoming Valley Pipe and Drum Band for 10 years. I will turn 63 in August. Recently, at several parades, I’ve had to step aside and let my band mates take my place in line. It’s not my age that’s stopping me from doing what I love. It’s my asthma and COPD. I was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma 15 years ago. Many people are surprised to find out that I am able to play the bagpipes with my asthma and lung complications. Yet, I like to think my hobby helps my lungs. As I keep the bag inflated by blowing into it through the blowpipe, I can feel my lungs growing stronger with each breath. Unfortunately, it saddens me that my daughter and my grandson also have been diagnosed with asthma. It’s very important to me that we are able to spend time together, without our asthma affecting us. My daughter has been participating in the Fight for Air walks, sponsored by the American Lung Association. When I was asked to perform at the Wilkes-Barre Fight for Air Walk, I thought it would be a great opportunity for my daughter and me to spend time together. There are many occasions when my asthma and COPD can interfere with my enjoyment in performing. The most recent was at the walk I participated in with my daughter. My lungs couldn’t make it. After one lap around the track, I had to step to the side. It means a lot to support a cause that is so close to our family. I’ll keep coming to the walks, bringing my daughter and bagpipe along, as long as I’m able. I’m proud to support the American Lung Association in its efforts to fight lung disease and to ensure healthy air for all Pennsylvanians. My family is only one of the many that your support could help. Please join the fight against weakening air pollution regulations. Contact your elected officials and let them know that we expect them to fight for clean air and stand up to the companies that want to put profits before people. Healthy air means healthy lungs.

Bowman’s Creek work upsets DEP

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

NOXEN TWP. – Just upstream from a state creek bank restoration project to repair Bowman’s Creek from past flood damage, the state Department of Environmental Protection has discovered someone has illegally – and poorly – dredged a 100-foot section of the creek and constructed a channel to redirect it. Colleen Connolly, a spokeswoman for DEP, said while department crews were in the area investigating a report of muddy water, they discovered the work and are now investigating who’s responsible for using heavy equipment to create a 2foot-high channel that helps keep water away from one bank. Connolly said the muddy water, which some believed was natural gas drilling related, has nothing to do with that industry and was caused by heavy rains

that caused the natural creek bottom to discolor the water. She said it’s unclear if this illegal work played a role at all. “It might have,” she added. She said the work was “an amateur job.” “Someone’s doing something they’re not supposed to be doing,” she said, and neighbors along the creek, near Route 29, will be asked if they know who’s responsible. She noted that “if we get a heavy rainfall, it’s going to knock this so-called channel they tried to create down.” The work just downstream is being done by a contractor hired by Noxen Township and was approved and permitted by DEP. That section of Bowman’s Creek was damaged last September after heavy rainfall caused by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.

mer said. “It has no power without the colleges. “The reason the NCAA was developed in the 1920s was to handle inappropriate behavior and to control sports that were becoming professionalized,” said Dammer, who serves as his university’s faculty representative in the NCAA. “Every school in the country has a faculty rep on the NCAA,” he said, adding that he has voted, along with faculty, presidents and board members from other schools, on NCAA rules and policies. “It’s not a ‘we-them thing,’ ” Dammer said. “It’s just we.” This is particularly true in the case of the Penn State sanctions, Dammer added. “Remember, Penn State agreed to this. They could have fought it.” In fact, key events that led to the sanctions were also begun by Penn State itself: Hiring Louis Freeh’s company to conduct an investigation, turning over the materials that helped Freeh reach the conclusion that top school officials failed to take action against Jerry Sandusky and releasing the report unvarnished to the public. So when critics – including the family of the late Joe Paterno – question the fairness of the NCAA basing its decisions on the Freeh Report rather than conducting an independent investigation, they are essentially questioning Penn State decisions, Dammer said. “It was the route they took. They could have let it go to outside agencies, they could have let the NCAA investigate,” Dammer said. “To their credit, they didn’t.” Dammer said that, overall, the sanctions were justified in light of the scope of Sandusky’s abuses and the failure of Penn State officials to stop it. “I know Penn State fans are upset, but I think the NCAA got this right,” he said. “If they didn’t do what they did, they would have been criticized as not being harsh enough. I don’t think anybody’s life is going to be ruined because of what happened Monday, whereas the lives of 10 boys were ruined.” Dammer concedes the NCAA may have “overreacted” in some areas – the number of years without post season play and the number of wins vacated from the football team’s record could be higher than needed to accomplish the goals of the sanctions – but he contends the offense was so serious it was “better to overreact than under-react.” And for those who argue that the sanctions hurt many who had nothing to do with the scandal, including students, season ticketholders and Paterno supporters, he counters that, “I’m sympathetic to their plight, but they chose to be a part of that whole football legacy. You have to put it in perspective.” The severity of sanctions is designed to help other schools put their own high profile sports programs in perspective, as well, he said, and he predicted it will help.

face an exodus of sponsors unwilling to have their brands linked to scandal, said Kevin Adler, founder of Chicago-based Engage Marketing Inc. Adler said he would advise current sponsors to pull out of their deals with Penn State, adding that most contracts have morality clauses giving advertisers an out. “I think the public perception is pretty clear and definitive at this point. That brand is damaged beyond the point of shortterm repair. It is the sponsorship partner’s obligation first and foremost to look after the health of their own brand,” Adler said. “None of the sponsors owe Penn State anything.” So far, though, Penn State appears to be hanging on. GM spokesman Pat Morrissey said the automaker is reviewing its sponsorship but has not made a decision. Morrissey did not immediately return a call about the value of the sponsorship deal. Other sponsors said they plan to stick with Penn State, including Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo Inc., Pittsburgh-based PNC bank and Pennsylvania’s largest health insurer, Highmark Inc. “Highmark’s partnership with Penn State is about health and wellness. We do have a sponsorship with the athletics program. While we routinely evaluate all of our sponsorships, we plan to continue at this time,” spokesman Aaron Billger said. PNC Financial Services Group issued a statement after the July 12 release of the Freeh report that its “ongoing engagement with the university signals our support of the students and traditions of Penn State. ... We believe that the university will learn from this experience and become stronger.” Bank spokesman Fred Solomon said the NCAA sanctions have not changed PNC’s position. Pepsi spokeswoman Gina Anderson said Tuesday the company also stood by its recent statement in response to the Freeh report. “We are deeply disturbed by the findings of the investigation and the conduct of certain individuals at Penn State University, but will continue to honor our longstanding contract as a campus beverage provider,” the statement said.

Dorrance quarry points questioned

By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

DORRANCE TWP. – Patrick Bartorillo, president and general manager of the North Region of Pennsy Supply, which operates a quarry in the township, gave the supervisors assurances at a hearing Tuesday night that his firm would conduct an efficient and safe operation, but he didn’t convince everyone. David DelRegno, who said his property is a half-mile from the quarry, asked Bartorillo if he is aware that every time blasting is conducted, “my house shakes.” He also said his water supply is affected during periods of maximum production at the plant. “I have to replace by water filters every couple of weeks when you’re at full

capacity,” DelRegno said. Scott Novtanick, whose property is west of the quarry, produced photos that he said show a dust cloud that is the result of blasting. “Is this going to be typical of the new operation?” he asked. The hearing is being held because Pennsy has applied to the township for a conditional-use permit in accordance with township zoning regulation to shift its production facilities from the north side of Small Mountain Road to the south side. Overall, Bartorillo commented, new mining and production equipment will be the most up-to-date available. As such, he said, dust, noise and impact on the environment will be minimal.

STATE COLLEGE -- A local businessman who gave $25,000 for the Joe Paterno statue that was taken down over the weekend would like to hear from the university about its decision and its plans for it.

But Judge Pamela A. Ruest denied the request and

Currently, the supply of material at the present site is nearly exhausted, Bartorillo said. The site is off Small Mountain Road near Interstate 81. In May, Pennsy’s plans were approved by the township’s planning commission, but according to code, the supervisors must conduct hearings and grant a permit before construction can begin. After more than two hours of testimony, James Schneider, township solicitor, called for a continuance until July 31 at 6:30 p.m. It was also proposed by Schneider that a third session may have to be scheduled in early August.

Shops on College Avenue in State College get a lot of business from fans attending Penn State home football games.

Moody’s Investors Service said Tuesday that it may cut the school’s Aa1 rating. The Freeh report, along with the NCAA sanctions, could hurt enrollment and fundraising, and the school is still under state and federal investigation, the rating agency said. A downgrade could make it more expensive for Penn State to borrow money for expansion or other projects. Around Happy Valley, as the university and the surrounding area are known, Penn Staters and business owners worry that the NCAA sanctions will drive down attendance at home games and hurt the hotels, restaurants and university-themed clothing shops that rely on the Nittany Lions’ loyal football fans. “Football is absolutely intertwined with the university, therefore the town,” said graduate student Will Ethier. “Such hard hits really will hit the town economically.” He added: “If one gets sanctioned, everybody else gets sanctioned.” Average attendance at the 106,500-seat Beaver Stadium has long been robust. It ranked no lower than fourth nationally in

average attendance each year since 1991, a university spokesman said. And Penn State’s alumni association, with more than 165,000 members, is billed as the largest in the world. Already, the team has sold 85,000 season tickets for 2012. Still, Matt Powell, an analyst with SportsOneSource, a Charlotte, N.C.-based provider of sports business information, said sales of Penn State clothing are dropping, from about $80 million in 2010 to $60 million after the scandal broke last year to possibly $45 million this year. Chris Stathes, who has a daughter at Penn State and manages a Waffle Shop in State College, said he would not be surprised to see 20,000 or 30,000 empty seats at Beaver Stadium. He said some fans might not want to make the drive to see home games in State College, several hours from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. “What are you going to watch for?” Stathes said. “They can’t advance to any postseason bowl game or anything like that. People are still going to be disgusted over the whole thing.”

scheduled a hearing for Tuesday afternoon that all but appeared to be moot now that the university took down the statue Sunday morning. “I’m still going to seek, as a donor, what they plan to do with it,” Lauth said. His name and other donors’ names were on a plaque on a wall at the statue site beside Beaver Stadium. He’s upset the university didn’t contact him about removing it and even more upset how Paterno and Athletic Director Tim Curley, people he called personal friends, have been treated by the media and Penn State. “It just amazes me that Penn State University can do this and continue to say things publicly about Tim Curley and Gary Schultz when they haven’t even

had their chance for due process,” he said. “To me it’s unconscionable.” Penn State spokesman David La Torre said university officials weren’t aware of the petition. The 7-foot-tall, 900-pound bronze statue was the site of a makeshift memorial to Paterno when he died in January, but the statue became the center of criticism at the university after the Louis Freeh report concluded Paterno and other senior level administrators concealed abuse allegations against former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Penn State President Rodney Erickson said on July 17 that the university would make a decision about the statue within seven to 10 days. Only five days later, it was removed.

Staying together could be difficult

NCAA’s stance on transfers makes it easy for other programs to raid Penn State. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

As Penn State’s Bill O’Brien finished saying that his biggest concern was keeping his 2012 team together, USC’s Lane Kiffin was approaching the microphones at Pac-12 media day. “Our number one concern,” Kiffin said, “is our running back position. “We’re concerned about our depth there, and we know what we have at quarterback and receiver, and we know people are going to try to take those guys away. So they’ll bring seven-man boxes and opportunities for our running backs to make plays.” If it sounds like the coach of a national title contender was Redd making a recruiting pitch, well, that’s something Penn State will have to get used to over these next few weeks. The NCAA clarified its stance on transfer rules involving Nittany Lions players on Tuesday, essentially declaring open season for opposing programs to court them without issue. In the case of Kiffin and the Trojans, the player in question is star tailback Silas Redd. Late Monday night, ESPN first reported that USC had notified Penn State it would recruit Redd to play in Southern California. Lions players are free to transfer and play immediately for a new school. This waiver will last until preseason practice begins for Penn State in August 2013. Programs will also be allowed to exceed normal scholarship limSee TOGETHER, Page 4B

WVC champion gets strong effort from Jacob Granteed on the mound. By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

minutes after the conclusion GREATER of the first game PITTSTON for the regional championship. GP is looking for its sixth reMILTON gional title and fourth since 2002. The team is in the championship bracket for the sixth time since 2002. Granteed, a right-hander, pitched to contact, making Milton hitters put the ball in play. He was very effective that way as 13 of his outs recorded didn’t leave the infield. He reached a three-ball count on just four batters the entire game. “Jake pitched phenomenal in the bullpen. I know that normally doesn’t mean much, but with Jake it does,” said GP catcher Ron Musto. “Jake came out throwing strike after strike. Everything was working for him and I saw the confidence in his eyes and I knew we were going to

Greater Pittston’s Bart Chupka can’t bring down a high throw in time to tag Milton’s Damian Moyer at first Tuesday.

The Flyers were looking for someone to fill the void left by Philadelphia defenseman Chris Pronger’s abWeber sence. Weber hoped he would land in Philadelphia. Now, he will likely end his career in Nashville. “In tendering an offer sheet to Shea Weber, we were trying to add a top defenseman entering the prime of his career,” Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said. “With Nashville matching our offer, we wish Shea and the Predators all the best.” On behalf of Predators chairman Tom Cigarran, GM David Poile and CEO Jeff Cogen, the team released a statement that called the Weber signing, “the most important hockey transaction in franchise history.”

PHILADELPHIA — The Nashville Predators have matched the staggering offering sheet made by the Philadelphia Flyers for defenseman Shea Weber. The Predators made sure on Tuesday they will keep their star defenseman when they decided to pay him $110 million over 14 years. Weber, 26, is the Predators’ captain and played on a $7.5 million arbitrator’s award last season. He had 19 goals and 49 points along the way. Nashville already lost freeagent defenseman Ryan Suter to Minnesota this summer, and losing Weber would have been an unexpected blow to a defense-first team that had 104 points last season.

The Mets’ Ronny Cedeno hits an RBI single off of Nationals starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez as catcher Jesus Flores watches in the second inning Tuesday.

Phils rally for win with 6-run eighth PHILADELPHIA — Hunter Pence singled in the go-ahead run after Carlos Ruiz hit a tying, three-run double and the Philadelphia Phillies rallied with six runs in the eighth inning to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-6 on Tuesday night. A night earlier, the Phillies scored four runs in the ninth off Francisco Rodriguez to beat Milwaukee by the same score. The Brewers wasted a sensational outing by Zack Greinke, who outpitched and homered off Cliff Lee. Greinke allowed one run and three hits, striking out five. He retired the last 14 batters he faced, but left after seven innings with the Brewers up 6-1 only to see them lose their season-worst fifth straight. Pinch-hitter Eric Kratz got the Phillies started in the eighth with a two-run homer off Manny Parra to cut it to 6-3. Shane Victorino, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard worked consecutive two-out walks to load the bases. Kameron Loe (4-4) entered to face Ruiz, who ripped a 1-2 pitch to the gap in left-center to clear the bases. Pence followed with a looping RBI single to right. Nationals 5, Mets 2

NEW YORK — Adam LaRoche and the Washington Nationals handed R.A. Dickey his first loss in three months,

beating the sinking New York Mets behind Gio Gonzalez’s seven crisp innings. Dickey (13-2) allowed five consecutive hits in the sixth, ending his 11-game winning streak, as the Mets lost their fifth straight and 11th in 12 games. Their lone victory since July 7 was Dickey’s 9-5 win over Gonzalez last Thursday in Washington. In a mini shake-up before the game, New York demoted slumping right fielder Lucas Duda to the minors. Braves 4, Marlins 3

MIAMI — Tim Hudson pitched seven innings, Jason Heyward drove in two runs, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins. Martin Prado and Freddie Freeman both drove in a run for the Braves, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Jose Reyes homered and drove in two runs for the Marlins as he extended his hitting streak to 12 games. Cubs 5, Pirates 1

PITTSBURGH — Paul Maholm pitched eight strong innings to win his fifth straight start and lead the Chicago Cubs over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Moments after the final out, the contending Pirates announced they had acquired pitcher Wandy Rodriguez in a trade with Houston.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Hellickson, Conrad lead Rays over O’s BALTIMORE — Jeremy Hellickson took a three-hitter into the seventh inning to earn his first win in 10 starts, and the Tampa Bay Rays got a home run from light-hitting Brooks Conrad in a 3-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night. Jeff Keppinger had two hits and an RBI for the Rays, who were playing their first road game since the All-Star break. Hellickson (5-6) gave up one run and three hits in 6 1-3 innings, striking out four and walking none. The righthander was 0-6 since beating Boston on May 16, although he allowed more than three earned runs only once during his losing streak. Athletics 7, Blue Jays 2

TORONTO — Yoenis Cespedes hit a three-run single and the streaking Oakland Athletics beat the Toronto Blue Jays for their seasonbest sixth win in a row. Derek Norris hit a two-run homer and Travis Blackley won his third straight decision as the A’s improved to 15-2 in July. Oakland (52-44) is eight games over .500 for the first time since July 12, 2008. Indians 3, Tigers 2

CLEVELAND — Aaron Cunningham bunted home

the go-ahead run with a suicide squeeze as the Cleveland Indians beat Detroit, moving within three games of the AL Central-leading Tigers.

Perez has saved each win. Five have been by two runs or fewer. White Sox 11, Twins 4

CHICAGO — Adam Dunn tied the game with his major league-leading 30th homer and Dayan Viciedo hit a bases-loaded single to cap a four-run seventh as the Chicago White Sox rallied to beat the Minnesota Twins.

Polanco is latest Phillies’ player to be stung by injury bug Veteran third baseman has been battling a sore back and will get examined. By DAVID MURPHY Philadelphia Daily News

Placido Polanco has been battling a sore back for at least the last week, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel revealed before Monday’s series opener against the Brewers. The veteran third baseman was not in the starting lineup, and was scheduled to be examined by team doctor Michael Ciccotti. Polanco also had the day off on Saturday. “He started telling me about it in Los Angeles (early last week),” Manuel said. While Polanco’s glove work remains solid at third base, the 36-

year-old veteran is on track to finish with career lows in batting average (.255), on-base percentage (.300) and slugPolanco ging percentage (.628). After signing with the Phillies in 2010, Polanco hit .298/ .339/.386, driving in 52 runs while scoring 76. But his production has slipped as injuries have mounted. He appeared in 132 games in 2010 and 122 in 2011. Another step forward The restrictions on Chase Utley and Ryan Howard are quickly disappearing as the veteran infielders get their legs back under them. Until Monday, neither player had started four straight games since returning from the

disabled list. “Somewhere along the line, I’ve got to turn them loose,” Manuel said. “But at the same time, I don’t want to overdo it. I don’t want them to have a relapse and stuff like that. But sooner or later, I’ve got to let them play four games in a row. Figured we’d try today.” The decision paid immediate dividends, as the two players connected on back-to-back home runs in the first inning against Brewers lefty Randy Wolf. Utley entered Monday hitting .231 with a .292 on-base percentage, .400 slugging percentage and 11 strikeouts, although he did have three home runs, nine RBI and seven runs in 72 plate appearances. Against the Brewers, he finished 1-for-2 with three walks. Howard is now hitting .237,

and six of his nine hits have gone for extra bases, including four home runs. He has eight RBI, five runs and 12 strikeouts in 45 plate appearances. Phillers Center fielder Shane Victorino, a candidate to be dealt before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, left Monday’s game with what the team called an elbow contusion after he was hit with a pitch he was ruled to have swung at. There was no immediate word on the severity of the bruise . . . A report by FoxSports.com said left-hander Cole Hamels was mulling over the Phillies’ 6-year contract offer, believed to be in the neighborhood of $130 million. An ESPN report said Hamels was “conflicted” about whether to test free agency.

Fear of shutdown prompted PSU to comply choice he felt would allow the University president was concerned the death penalty program to survive. “It was clear Penn State faced would be imposed on program. an alternative – a long-term

By PETER MUCHA The Philadelphia Inquirer

Penn State’s president agreed to the severe sanctions announced Monday by the NCAA because he feared other, far worse options – namely, the shutdown of the football program altogether, often called the death penalty. University spokesman David La Torre said Monday that president Rodney Erickson made a

death penalty and additional sanctions for the program, university and whole community,” La Torre said. “Given the situation, Dr. Erickson believed the sanctions offered and accepted was the appropriate course of action.” The threat was no football for several years, a punishment far harsher than the unprecedented one-year ban imposed on Southern Methodist University in 1987, Erickson told ESPN. “Various numbers were tossed

around, four being the highest,” Erickson told the cable sports network’s John Barr, calling such a fate Erickson “traumatic for everyone. It’s traumatic for the student-athletes involved. It’s traumatic for the university.” The NCAA tells another story. “I can tell you categorically, there was never a threat made to anyone about suspension of play if the consent decree was not agreed to,” Ed Ray, chairman of the NCAA’s executive

committee, told the network. The option was discussed, he conceded: “There were people who felt that was appropriate, but the overwhelming position of members of both the executive committee and the Division I board was to not include suspension of play.” But Penn State officials apparently had a different impression. “I think, generally speaking, that the community felt that playing was better than not playing,” said Karen Peetz, chairwoman of the board of trustees, during a Centre Daily Times interview that included interim athletic director David

Joyner. In that interview, Erickson also said, “I thought we’ll be able to recover more quickly from these sanctions than we would from the death penalty over the course of a number of years.” The penalties imposed Monday included paying $60 million to fund a five-year anti-childabuse program; a ban on bowl games for four years; the loss of 40 scholarships; and the erasing of all football team victories from 1998 to 2011. “This, while severe, does still allow us to play,” Erickson said in the newspaper interview. The football program generat-

ed about $70 million for the 2011 season alone, according to reports. The sanctions were handed down after a university-initiated report alleged official mishandling of accusations of child sex abuse by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Sandusky was convicted last month of dozens of charges, including involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, unlawful contact with minors, indecent assault, corruption of minors, and endangering the welfare of children. Sentencing is scheduled for late September.

ess that can take months or years. Penn State handed over the results of its investigation by former FBI Director Louis Freeh and didn’t dispute the facts. Emmert said the decision to bypass the infractions committee and let the NCAA Executive Committee and its Division I Board of Directors decide on the penalties was not a sign of a change in the way future proceedings will go, but a sign that no investigation was necessary. “This was just a singular case that we all hope we don’t face again,” he said. Joe Paterno’s family criticized the NCAA and Penn State after the sanctions were announced. “The NCAA has now become the latest party to accept the re-

port as the final word on the Sandusky scandal,” the family said. “That the president, the athletic director and the Board of Trustees accepted this unprecedented action by the NCAA without requiring a full due process hearing before the Committee on Infractions is an abdication of their responsibilities and a breach of their fiduciary duties to the University and the 500,000 alumni.” In Dallas, former Stanford athletic director and new Big 12 Conference Commissioner Bob Bowlsby also wondered about whether the college sports governing body should be stepping into a criminal matter. “I don’t know that it is absolutely clear on what basis this becomes an NCAA issue,” he said at football media days. “Having said that, there are certainly elements of our constitution and bylaws that go right to the heart of ethics, and clearly there are some ethical issues

here. Perhaps the lesson that will be taken away from it is that things can get pretty far afield when there are people running the show that don’t ever get frank feedback and don’t ever have anybody push back against them in terms of re-centering their decision processes.” North Carolina State coach Tom O’Brien said the NCAA had effectively made Penn State a “I-AA school” by reducing the number of scholarships. “We’re in a new era, obviously, and a new stage,” he said of the NCAA. “One of the things the NCAA did when they came to our meetings was that they

showed what penalties in the past were and what penalties were going to be in the future, and the penalties in the future were multiple times what the penalties in the past were.” Too much so, according to some Penn State alumni. “It’s ludicrous. It’s punishing all the wrong people,” said Brad Benson, a former Penn State and New York Giants player. “”The NCAA is way out of line with this. It’s an overreaction. It’s a knee-jerk reaction. I think the statue should have come down. I’m for it. They can take the games, take the wins away. That’s fine. There’s no future in the past anyway. But to punish the university now? How does this work for the new coach? What’s fair about this for him? It’s absolutely crazy.” He added: “This is the problem when the NCAA tries to become part of the judicial system. This should have been handled by the courts.”

up the ladder to acting athletic director Dave Joyner and President Rod Erickson – were granted. “I asked for two things,” O’Brien said. “I basically said, let us play football and let us be on TV. At the end of the day, that’s all you want to do. You want to play football in a fantastic, beautiful stadium in front of passionate fans. And you want your fans, if they can’t get to the game, to be able to see you on TV. We’ve got that. We’re able to play football. “And I understand that we can’t go to a bowl game. I understand that. I really do, believe me. But I’m not sure there’s many bowl games that are played in front of 108,000 fans. So I feel good about where we are right now, because we do have the ability to play football on TV.” With players now free to transfer to other schools without restriction, O’Brien and his coaching staff are the main glue holding the program together at this point.

O’Brien was adamant on Tuesday that his entire staff – comprised predominately of men he has coached with before – will remain at Penn State for 2012 and beyond. “I’m very confident about this staff and our ability to work together and stay together,” O’Brien said. It will have to start at the top. O’Brien said he was not at all concerned that the first four seasons of his five-year contract will

not be capped off with a bowl game. And that he won’t be leaving the Lions any time soon. “I made a commitment to Penn State,” O’Brien said. “I believe in Penn State. I believe in the people that hired me. … The two things that are most important to me are that I really feel great about this staff that I’ve put together. This is one of the best staffs in college football. “The other thing that is very,

very important – probably the most important – is I feel very, very close to these kids that I’m the head coach of right now. I think we’ve got tough kids, smart kids, kids that care about each other, kids that care about their coaching staff. They’ve been dealt with honestly and openly. We’ve got a bunch of guys here that want to succeed and want to do well both on and off the field. And I feel close to them.”

its to bring in Penn State players, provided they cut back the same number of scholarships the following season. McGloin As of 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, O’Brien said that none of his players had informed him that they would transfer out. But given the staggering NCAA sanctions the Lions are facing, some number of defections seems inevitable. O’Brien said he held squad meetings on Monday and Tuesday morning at the team’s Lasch Building headquarters. In those sessions, O’Brien gave his best recruiting speech to try and keep the squad as intact as possible. “I talked to these guys about adversity,” O’Brien said. “I talked to them about my own adversity within my own family, what my wife and I went through when my oldest son was born and we found out that he was handicapped. Life is filled with adversity, and the way that you travel through life is how you handle adversity. That’s how you’re defined as a man. “I talked to the guys about why they came here, and I told them to think about the guys that they’re sitting next to in that room, and who they’re playing next to. I talked to the guys about our football staff – guys that are some of the best coaches I’ve ever coached with and that I’m proud to be associated with. “I talked to them about how proud I am to be their head football coach.” It will take some time to judge how successful the pitch was. Though Penn State players are still declining interview requests for the time being, more and more of them are taking to the internet to announce that they are sticking with the Lions. Quarterback Matt McGloin and offensive lineman Eric Shrive, teammates in high school at West Scranton, will remain teammates at Penn State. Neither was expected to consider leaving and both reiterated that with posts on their Twitter accounts. “Even though these penalties are extremely harsh, I am a Nittany Lion and will remain one,” McGloin wrote. “I believe in the core values I have learned in this program. It is not Nittany Lion football. It is Nittany Lion family. “I encourage all players, recruits and supporters to stay committed to the greatest football program in America. Scholarships and bowl games cannot destroy the fabric of our family. Coach O’Brien and his staff will lead us through this difficult time. All I ask is for the fans to continue to believe in us.” Others who have intimated that they will stay include projected starters like CB Adrian Amos, WR Justin Brown, LB Glenn Carson, TE Garry Gilliam, OT Adam Gress, DT Jordan Hill, LB Gerald Hodges, LB Michael Mauti, CB Stephon Morris, OT Donovan Smith, C Matt Stankiewitch and OG John Urschel. That list is by no means definitive or comprehensive. Opposing schools are now free to contact Lions players to try to sway them, provided they first give notice to Penn State. Players considering a transfer must also first give notice to the school. Wyoming Valley West coach Pat Keating said Monday he was

contacted by 12-15 colleges inquiring about Eugene Lewis, his former quarterback. And that’s the attention level a true freshman is receiving. Lewis’ father said Monday that his son will remain at Penn State. In the case of Redd, nothing appeared to be decided as of Tuesday night. Redd’s father, however, told The Hartford Courant that his son “is a Penn State studentathlete, period.” “I feel very good about where we’re at right now,” O’Brien said. “Now, at the end of the day, we’ll find out what type of team we have when we start practice on Aug. 6. But as it stands here right now, we continue to communicate with our players, and we feel good where we are.” First Departure: Reports came out Tuesday night that redshirt freshman Ryan Nowicki, a 6foot-5, 280-pound offensive lineman, would be the first player from the Penn State roster to transfer. The recruit is reportedly heading to Big Ten rival Illinois, according to a radio station in Arizona, his home state. He was not on coach Bill O’Brien’s spring depth chart. Several outlets have tabulated the thoughts of Penn State’s players and recruits. According to FightOnState.com, 33 rostered players have posted on Twitter their commitment to Penn State. Also, five of six recruits from the class of 2013 have done the same.

PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger likens offensive coordinator Todd Haley’s versatile playbook to learning a new language. Time to see how fluent the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback — and the rest of his teammates — have become. Five months after Haley replaced the ousted Bruce Arians, the Steelers finally get a chance to see what the former Kansas City coach brings when training camp opens on Wednesday. They dabbled with the basics during minicamp and organized team activities, putting Roethlisberger a little more at ease. A little. “I’m not saying I can go out and call a game myself right now,” the two-time Super Bowl champion said last month. “When he calls a play, I know what’s going on for the most part. So we’re getting it down to figuring it out.” And they may have to begin the process without Pro Bowl wide receiver Mike Wallace, who has yet to sign his one-year tender. The speedster, entering his fourth season, would like a long-term deal. The Steelers, never fond of protracted contract negotiations, would like their big-play specialist to be in camp. Though Wallace’s teammates insist he’ll be at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe sooner rather than later, every day that passes without Wallace’s familiar No. 17 is one that Roethlisberger will use to develop a deeper rapport with Antonio Brown, Jerricho Cotchery and Emmanuel Sanders. “You’re always going to miss something,” Sanders said. “Whether it’s camaraderie of the teammates or just the physical aspect of (implementing) the playbook. But Mike is one of those guys that’s going to get in here and

hit the ground running.” He’d be wise to hurry. For all the firepower Wallace provides, Brown became Roethlisberger’s favorite target toward the end of last season. The sure-handed Brown had more receptions over the last eight weeks of the regular season — hauling in 35 to Wallace’s 26 — and added five more in a wild-card playoff loss to Denver, a game in which Wallace made just three grabs for a mere 26 yards. While Brown insists it’s just a coincidence that he inherited the locker vacated by the recently retired Hines Ward, there’s no mistaking the hardworking Brown is considered the most likely to fill the leadership void. It’s a comparison the soft-spoken Brown tries to downplay, though he’s well aware of the legacy Ward left behind fol-

Weber averaged 29 minutes, 9 day along with a third-round seconds of ice time last season, pick and a minor-league defensesecond on the team to his former man to the Rangers for centers partner, Suter, who signed a 13- Brandon Dubinsky and Artem

Anisimov, defenseman Tim Erixon and a first-round pick next year. The deal gives the Rangers a big, sturdy right wing to add to their core of solid young players and also helps them counter moves made by other Eastern Conference powers this offseason.

In 2011, Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field hosted the first outdoor professional hockey game in Pennsylvania and an NHL alumni game. In January, Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park hosted an NHL game, an AHL game, college games and an NHL alumni game. Hersheypark Stadium is set to host an outdoor AHL game in January 2013, featuring the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. But in Williamsport, they are taking outdoor hockey to another level.

Defensive linemen Aaron Smith and Chris Hoke and linebacker James Farrior joined Ward in retirement, while offensive guard Chris Kemoeatu was released. That’s nine Super Bowl rings and seven combined Pro Bowls gone. While there will be no lack of volunteers — particularly on an offensive line in the midst of a major youth movement after the Steelers used their top two picks in April’s draft to select guard David DeCastro and tackle Mike Adams — the core that led the franchise to three Super Bowl appearances since 2005 remains intact.

win the game.” Musto, who is hitting a blistering .500 (8-for-16) and boasts an unheard of slugging percentage of 1.315 in the tournament, once again helped the offense. The Potomac State Junior College freshman went 2-for-4 and was a big part in both of the team’s rallies. Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Musto led off with a double to left. After P.J. Bone singled to put runners on first and third, Tyler Loftus singled home Musto to tie game 1-1. Ryan Carey doubled in a run to give Greater Pittston a 2-1 lead. In the fifth, Musto came

through with two outs and a run already in on an RBI-single by Randy McDermott. That’s when Musto crushed a 1-1 chest-high fastball well over the left field fence for a two-run shot and a 5-1 lead. The longball was Musto’s third of the tourney to go with eight RBI and five runs scored. Musto had three home runs all season entering the tournament. “I shortened my stride a little and I’m seeing the ball a lot batter and I’m barreling the ball up better than I was during the season and it feels good,” said Musto, a Pittston Area grad. Musto isn’t the only one contributing offensively for the Wyoming Valley champs. Kody Nowicki (6-for-15), McDermott (6-for-16) and Bone (5-for-17) – all postgrads – join Musto as hit-

ting safely in all four regional games. Carey and Travis DeBona, two more postgrads, have combined for nine hits in the tournament. “Most of the postgrads on this team played college baseball this year and we all know two, three four innings will not depict a game,” Musto added. “The end of the game is where everyone digs deep grits their teeth and pulls out runs. I think the experience definitely comes into play because we know it’s never over.” Milton, which was hit with its first loss of the tournament, tacked on an unearned run in the top of the eighth. Greater Pittston is ready for a shot at the championship with its top two pitchers, Dylan Maloney and Adam Romanowski, available to throw today.

“I think we’re ready to go,” Greater Pittston manager Drew Whyte said. “We can come out (today) and lay an egg, but I don’t see that happening. The kids are pretty jacked up. We’ll give it a shot (today).” Greater Pittston 5, Milton 2 Milton Greater Pittston ab r h bi ab r Adames cf 5 0 1 0 Nowicki cf 4 1 Bridge 1b 5 0 1 0 McDrmtt ss 4 1 Moyer ss 5 1 2 0 Musto c 4 2 Bordner 2b 4 1 1 1 Bone lf 4 1 Chappell dh 4 0 2 0 Maloney dh 2 0 Artley 3b 4 0 1 1 Granteed p 0 0 Brown c 4 0 1 0 Chupka 1b 4 0 Shaffer lf 3 0 1 0 Loftus 2b 4 0 Manzano 1b 1 0 0 0 Carey 3b 4 0 Jacobs rf 4 0 0 0 DeBona rf 3 0 Reich p 0 0 0 0 Levitan p 0 0 0 0

AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL

Tunkhannock has its season come to an end Towanda jumps to an early lead, then holds off rally attempt to advance. By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

SCRANTON – Tunkhannock manager Scott Zaner couldn’t ask for his team to hit the ball any harder. For the first seven innings of Tuesday’s fourth-round American Legion Region 5 tournament game, every time his Tunkhannock team let loose on a fastball, an orange-and-black clad Towanda player happened to be there. In what seemed to be a fielding clinic for much of the game, Towanda silenced Tunkhannock 6-3 and ended Tunkhannock’s season. Tunkhannock managed just two hits through the first seven innings. “Well, we hit the ball hard all day long,” Zaner said. “We just hit the ball right at them, and they made plays. That’s what happens sometimes.”

Tunkhannock finally found its groove a little too late in the eighth and ninth innings. Trailing by six runs, Tunkhannock scored two runs in the eighth inning to end the shutout. Josh McClain started the inning with a double to centerfield, and Sean Soltysiak and Race Sick produced RBI singles. In the ninth, Tunkhannock scored following a Ryan Goodwin double and a Wesley Custer sacrifice fly. Condeelis launched a deep fly to the warning track to end the game with the tying run at the plate. “I’m so proud of my kids,” Zaner said. “They don’t quit. They hung in there all day. They were still focused and wanted to play baseball in the ninth inning. That’s all you can ask for. If you get a couple breaks now and then, that helps. We just didn’t get the breaks. Towanda is a good squad.” Towanda scored two runs in the first on a trio of singles, and used a three-run fifth inning that put Tunkhannock in the hole. In the fifth, a pair of bunt singles

IL BASEBALL

Yankees hold on for victory The Times Leader staff

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Justin Thomas’ first start since 2008 couldn’t have been much better. Getting a spot start for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees on Tuesday, the left-hander pitched four innings, only allowing one hits and no runs in helping the Yankees to a 6-4 win over Charlotte at Knights Stadium. Thomas, who was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox in May, had made 26 appearances for SWB this season out of the bullpen before getting the start on Tuesday for a depleted starting rotation. The only hit allowed by Thomas was a fourth inning single by Drew Garcia. The Yankees opened the scoring with two runs in the top of the second. Francisco tripled home a run then scored on a

single by Cole Garner for a 2-0 lead. A Brandon Laird single in the third gave the Yankees a 3-0 advantage. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre tacked on two more runs in the fourth, chasing Charlotte starter Matt Zaleski. Zaleski lasted just four innings while throwing 97 pitches and allowing eight hits and five runs. The last two runs by SWB against Zaleski came when Jack Cust doubled home a pair of runs to up the lead to 5-0. The Yankees offense pounded out 10 hits and had several baserunners by drawing nine walks. Chase Whitley relieved Thomas and picked up the win, pitching three innings and allowing just two hits while fanning two. Charlotte scored four runs off Manny Delcarmen in the bot-

loaded the bases for Towanda with no outs. Run-producing singles by Zach Place and Austin Markel gave Towanda a 5-0 lead going into the final third of the game. Towanda added another run in the sixth off a misplayed routine groundball. “That’s baseball; it happens,” Zaner said. “I don’t get too upset with physical errors. Mental errors you can keep to a minimum, but physical errors are going to happen.” Zaner said he was ultimately pleased with his team’s postseason run. Tunkhannock squeaked its way into the league playoffs as No. 4 seed in the league tournament and defeated Mountain Post-B to qualify for the Region 5 tournament. “I was happy with the effort all week long,” he said. “They gave me the effort they could give me. Well, it bodes well for the baseball program. We have a lot of good, young ballplayers that could get a lot out of playing 25 extra games (following the high school season).” tom of the eighth as the righty loaded the bases before getting an out. He allowed three hits and three walks in the four-run inning. Ryota Igarashi closed out the victory, pitching the ninth and earning his fourth save. Yankees 6, Knights 4 Yankees

Veteran Hinrich signs with Bulls CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bulls will be without one familiar face for much of the coming season, so they’re bringing back another to help fill the void. Kirk Hinrich returned to the Bulls on Tuesday. The nineyear veteran rejoins the team that drafted him in 2003 and with which he played his first seven professional seasons. “We went into this offseason, it was probably our biggest priority to get a combo guard,” Bulls general manager Gar Forman said. Hinrich will likely start at point guard while star Derrick Rose rehabilitates from left knee surgery. The MVP of the 2010-11 season is expected to be out until at least January.

MANSFIELD – Mountain Top’s senior Little League softball team seems to have ruffled a few feathers while rolling through the bracket on its way to a state championship Sunday at Mansfield University. After outscoring opponents 34-11 in four games, the team celebrated on Lutes Field. While they celebrated, the opposing manager had some harsh words for the victors. “We already know they are wasting the state championship,” BCM coach Samantha Dessa said of Mountain Top after its 8-1 victory. “They are an ASA team. They are blowing this by going to an ASA tournament instead of regionals. “Our girls were looking forward to winning a state championship and going on to regionals.” A couple of big innings by Mountain Top made BCM’s trip to Worcester, Mass., impossible. During the final, BCM accused the Mountain Top dugout of making derogatory statements, and one BCM player yelled “We’ve seen better,” in response to something her team thought was said in the Mountain Top dugout. But no umpire or game official heard such a comment from the winner’s dugout despite being in closer proximity. In the end, Dessa’s words – calling Mountain Top a travel team – stung coach Chuck Casem, who cut short his celebration with his team to address the BCM coach’s charges when they were brought to his attention. “If she’s got sour grapes, that’s her problem,” Casem said. “Some kids played school ball, some didn’t. A couple of kids played travel ball. In fact, four kids played travel ball of our 12.” It can be assumed that BCM had at least one travel player, as

it had batters with an “ICE” logo on their batting helmets. There are no high school teams in PIAA District 4 with such a name and logo. There is a travel team called “The Black Ice,” which is based in the Northern Tier. Both teams completed the necessary affidavits for their players, illustrating their eligibility to play Little League softball, before the state tournament. “We played Plains, Northwest, Western Wayne,” Casem said. “We beat Plains two of three in the District (16) tournament. We came here not sure of how we’d do. I was worried about Corry, but we just came out and scored nine runs in the second inning against them. “(Crestwood head coach) Bob Bertoni did a lot for this team. His coaching (during the school year) helped get this team ready.” Now, Mountain Top is three days away from its regional opener. Contrary to Dessa’s claim, it will be on the field in Massachusetts later this week. “We’re going,” Casem stated. “We played well here. We’re hoping to go up to Massachusetts. We have to make arrangements. I have to have some time off work, and I’ve just been off. “But we’re going.” Eastern Regional Tournament Director Doug Hannam confirmed Casem’s declaration. Mountain Top opens tournament play against the Delaware state champion at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Share prices fall again

A parade of grim news, from weak corporate earnings to a pullback at U.S. factories to spreading fault lines in Europe’s debt crisis, sent investors fleeing stocks for a third straight day on Tuesday. The Dow Jones industrial average suffered the third triple-digit point loss in row for the blue chip index.Stocks fell from the start of trading following news that UPS had cut its earnings forecast 4 percent for all of 2012. The package delivery company said it expects global trade to slow even more than the global economy this year, a first since the financial crisis.

Less trust in big banks

The latest quarterly survey issued Tuesday by the Chicago Booth/Kellogg School says the 21 percent of respondents who said they trust the system is the lowest level since the school’s March 2009 poll, taken as the global economic crisis unfurled. Trust in banks that operate across the U.S. fell to 23 percent from 25 percent in March. Trust in small community banks rose to 55 percent from 51 percent, while confidence in credit unions rose to 63 percent from 58 percent. The survey also found the percentage of people who have trust in the stock market was 15 percent, unchanged from March.

Soy tires last longer in test

Goodyear is testing tires made with soybean oil as it tries to cut its use of petroleum and extend tread life. The Akron, Ohio, company said Tuesday that its researchers have found that the tread on tires made partially with soybean oil can last 10 percent longer than current tires. The soybean oil, which comes from a renewable resource, could cut Goodyear’s use of petroleum by up to 7 million gallons per year, the company said in a statement. If tests are positive, the soy oil could be used to make tires by 2015.

Plains ranchers sell cattle as drought spreads

By ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press

ICHITA, Kan. — Kansas cattleman Ken Grecian sold 20 pairs of cows and calves a few weeks after drought had sucked his pastures dry and no rain was in the forecast. He sold 20 more pairs Friday. Grecian spent years meticulously breeding his cows to improve the genetics in each generation, but with Kansas in one of the worst droughts seen in decades, he’s struggling to find enough grazing to feed 300 cows, plus their calves. Other cattlemen throughout the middle and western part of the U.S. also are

industry was able nationally to absorb it because it wasn’t bad everywhere. This one is much more along the lines of bad everywhere, so the market implications are a lot larger and a lot more players in the industry are impacted by this,” said Glynn Tonsor, an agriculture economics professor at Kansas State University. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported Friday that the nation’s cattle inventory was the smallest since the agency began a July count in 1973. Cattle have been streaming into auction yards across the country in recent weeks as grazing land burns up in the sun, ponds and streams evaporate and prices for feed corn rise.

Beef from the animals now flooding livestock auctions will start showing up in grocery stores in November and December, temporarily driving down meat prices. But then prices are expected to rise sharply by January in the wake of dwindling supplies and smaller livestock herds. The number of cattle in the U.S. has been dropping for years, but the pace picked up last year when ranchers in Texas, the nation’s top beef producer, sold a massive number of animals amid a severe drought in the Southwest. “The drought was really bad in the Southern Plains last year, but the cattle

China seeks N. American energy assets, know-how By ELAINE KURTENBACH AP Business Writer

SHANGHAI — Offshore Chinese energy giant CNOOC’s $15 billion offer for Canadian oil and gas producer Nexen Inc. is strategically calibrated to win regulatory approval — unlike its failed 2005 attempt to buy Unocal. The deal announced Monday shows China’s appetite for overseas energy assets remains as strong as ever despite its current economic slowdown. Weaker oil prices and a resolve to capture technologies China needs to unlock its own sizable but hard to extract reserves are powerful incentives for its energy companies to

versifying its supplies, said Sun Chong, an analyst at Sinolink Securities, based in Shanghai. CNOOC and other big state-owned Chinese energy companies have increased purchases of oil and gas assets in the Americas as part of a global strategy to gain access to resources needed to fuel China’s economy. Also on Monday, Canadian oil and gas company Talisman Energy announced it was selling a 49 percent interest in its UK division to China’s Sinopec Corp. for $1.5 billion. One key aim of the acquisition, analysts say, is to acquire advanced technology.

snap up foreign producers. Back in 2005, protests that the sale of Unocal might jeopardize U.S. national security prompted CNOOC Ltd. to withdraw its $18.5 billion bid. This time, in an apparent show of commitment to national interests, CNOOC is pledging to set up a regional headquarters in Calgary, Alberta, where Nexen is based. It also says it will keep the Canadian company’s management and projects in place and list shares on the Canadian bourse. The incentive to make the deal work is evident: dependent on foreign oil for more than half the energy it consumes, China has a strong vested interest in di-

NEW YORK — Apple products have been getting cheaper. That’s good news for consumers but not for investors, who thought the company would keep boosting profits and revenues at its previous breakneck pace. On Tuesday Apple Inc. revealed that its growth slowed in the most recent quarter. In both revenue and net income, the company posted the smallest increases in years, and failed to meet analyst expectations. It wasn’t so much the volume of sales: Apple sold17 million iPads in April to June period, beating expectations, and 26 million iPhones, at the low end of expectations. But Apple’s average selling prices for both gadgets declined to levels last seen in 2010 for the iPhone and the lowest levels ever in the case of the iPad. Apple introduced a new iPad in March, but kept the older model in stores while cutting its price. The average selling prices of Macs also fell. Net income in Apple’s fiscal third quarter was $8.8 billion, or $9.32 per share. That was up 21 percent from $7.3 billion, or $7.79 per share, a year ago. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting earnings of $10.37 per share. Revenue at the Cupertino, Calif., company was $35 billion, up 23 percent. Analysts were expecting $37.5 billion. Apple shares fell $34.99, or 5.8 percent, to $565.93 in after-hours trading, after the release of the results. NATURAL GAS $3.19

NATIONAL FORECAST: A potent low pressure system will trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms from the Upper Midwest into the eastern Great Lakes today. Some of these storms may be strong to severe, with locally heavy rainfall possible. Thunderstorms will also spread along a cold front in the central Plains, while monsoonal ﬂow will keep scattered thunderstorms in the forecast in the Rockies.

Walking out to get my Times Leader this morning was like a breath of fresh air. What a difference with how cool and dry the air feels. For sure we are in for a beautiful summer day. Small cumulus clouds may dot the sky and the humidity will remain low. Excellent outdoor conditions for both work and play. But all this week there’s a strong steering wind blowing east to west high above the ground and this will direct more hot and humid air back into town on Thursday with showers and storms. Unsettled weather will last into Friday, then a backing wind over the weekend will allow for the weather to improve. - Tom Clark

CORK BAR & RESTAURANT

Primo parfait is mixed up with berries

FRESH SEASONAL strawberries are a true treat of summer in Northeastern Pennsylvania. They bring back great memories of picking and eating wild berries on hot summer days. They are plentiful during the warm summer months and can be used in everything from breakfast smoothies and fruity cocktails to homemade jams, pies or the freshest of summer desserts. Here’s a dessert you’re sure to love that combines the great taste of lemon with berries and cream. •••

f you’re looking for Elaine Waskovich of Moscow, chances are she’s picking cucumbers, canning tomatoes or chasing a groundhog out of her garden. Then again, she could be browning the elk sausage a hunter friend gave her husband or checking the progress of the cabbage she’s fermenting into sauerkraut. Or she might simply be rejoicing that her 12-year-old son enjoys natural food. “He’ll just pick some rhubarb and eat it raw,” she said. “He’s Applesauce and cinnamon peaches were among the homemade bounty Elaine Wasdefinitely becoming a good eater.” kovich of Moscow brought to the Food Swap.

Other participants in a recent Food Swap in Scranton don’t come so close to living off the land, but it’s safe to say their ears perk up at the words “homemade,” “locally grown” or “here’s the recipe.” “I cook a lot, I bake a lot, and I want to share with other people,” said Danielle K. Fleming of Dunmore, who arrived at the Scranton Cultural Center with glass jars of her orange-rhubarb jam as well as bottles of sweet syrups flavored with apple mint

and lavender from her home garden. Fleming planned to give those items to people who attended the first meeting of the NEPA Swappers, a group she organized, and to return home with items they had brought – perhaps pickles from Waskovich, herbal tea from Donna Czarkowski, maybe a bag of heart-shaped sugar cookies from Barbara Torda or a spicy sal-

Whipped cream

WANT TO SWAP?

2 1/4 cups chilled heavy whipping cream 5 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract Beat cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in large bowl until peaks form. Just before serving, cut lemon cake into cubes. In 8 to 12 parfait or large wine glasses, alternate 2 layers of each of the following: cake cubes, berry mixture and freshly whipped cream. Prior to topping final layer with whipped cream, add a scoop of lemon sorbet, top with cream and garnish with mint. Serve immediately.

Danielle Fleming hopes to arrange a second NEPA Swappers event in October to take advantage of the fall harvest and in December to celebrate the winter holidays. For info, contact her at nepaswappers@gmail.com or 570-815-2100

Hail to kale, the sturdy green vegetable By JOE GRAY Chicago Tribune

Kale, with its sturdy leaves, feels like a winter green (and it does fit well, of course, in coldweather cooking), yet the farmers markets and groceries are full of it now. Whether White Russian, red, lacinato or other varieties, kale is in its ascendancy, with baby kale leaves especially popular. The baby leaves are so tender, they go beautifully in fresh salads, no cooking needed. It seems that every restaurant, new cookbook or food blog has a kale salad these days, using the mature leaves as well. (Dressing mature kale ahead of serving allows the leaves to soften enough to eat raw.) Our favorite? A twist on a Caesar, which friends call

Kale, Caesar! — saluting Roman style, in partial jest to its mighty deliciousness. The kale recipe here works in any season. Baby or mature leaves can be used, just adjust the cooking time. You’ll want the leaves just cooked through. The rich sausage helps coat the leaves; the sun-dried tomatoes add a bit of tartness. ••• KALE WITH GRILLED SAUSAGES AND WHITE BEANS Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 25 minutes Makes: 4 servings 4 links Italian pork or turkey sausage, sweet or hot 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 white onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 bunches baby kale,

stemmed, or 2 large bunches regular kale, stemmed, sliced in 1/2-inch ribbons 1/2 cup each: white wine, water 1 can (14 ounces) white beans, drained, rinsed 1/2 cup thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes Directions: 1. Prepare grill for medium high heat; grill sausages, turning, until done, 5-8 minutes. (Or brown sausages in a skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through.) Slice sausages into 1/2-inch rounds. 2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften. Add kale, wine and a half cup or so water, if needed. (You may need to add the kale in batches, allowing the first batch to cook down a bit to make room for the rest.) Stir to coat kale; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook until kale

ad made by Lisa Burke. Burke, who brought her peppers-onions-and-olives mixture in single-serving containers, said she would be especially happy to swap salad for some devil’s food cupcakes made by a baker who used pumpkin puree instead of oil and eggs. The cupcakes were wrapped and tied with festive ribbons. “That’s another part of this,” Fleming said. “So many people take the time to package things attractively.” Food-swapping events can be

found all over the country, Fleming said, but “found their roots” in Los Angeles, Brooklyn and Philadelphia about two years ago. She spent a recent year and a half in Princeton, N.J., where “there is such an emphasis on food sharing and community growing.” “I wanted to bring some of that energy back home,” she said. Suggesting people can bring “everything from homemade breads, cupcakes and jams to pickles, honey and garden veggies” to future swap meets, she added, “It’s a great way to gather with your neighbors and share your harvest, whether it is from your garden or something you

made in your kitchen. The goal is for people to come together, share foods, create friendships and a sustainable community.” Author and blogger Marisa McClellan co-founded NEPA Swappers and brought jars of apricot jam, as well as copies of her cookbook “Food in Jars” to the inaugural food swap. “I cut up 25 pounds of apricots,” McClellan said, explaining she bought “seconds” from a farmer. She doesn’t have her own garden – or fruit trees – near her Philadelphia apartment but said she likes to “hop over the bridge to New Jersey” to visit farms there.

To facilitate food swapping, McClellan said, it’s best to bring food in single-serving, easily transportable packages and to offer some as a sample – perhaps with one open jar and several spoons – so people can decide if they want to trade with you. Participants usually bring eight to 12 items to trade – although there’s no hard-and-fast rule – and make the rounds, sampling various offerings. If you attend a swap, expect to come away not only with edible treats but advice, such as Waskovich’s tip to a bystander to allow apples to set for a week or two be-

fore you make applesauce, because by then they’ll turn sweeter. There are bound to be stories as well, such as Mark Bonfiglio’s explanation that he got the idea for stamping a design on his homemade semolina circles from the Italian wedding tradition of imprinting a family crest on pasta. And Czarkowski described an herbal infusion she designed for her sister, a breast-cancer survivor. “Tammy Tea” is a soothing blend of rose petals, hibiscus and cranberries, she said, and it turns the water pink.

Texting with friends eventually leads young girl into chat room trouble Dear Abby: I’m a 12-year-old girl and I hope you will print this because it’s about something important. I have an iPod Touch. My friends and I wanted to text, so I asked my mom if I could download a program to talk to my friends. She said it was OK. I really like “The Hunger Games,” so I went into a “Hunger Games” chat room and started talking with some boys there. The next thing I knew there were three men texting me, asking me questions about sex and asking for pictures. (It started with them asking if I was fat, and when I said no, I was asked to send a picture of me in a bathing suit to prove it.)

DEAR ABBY

street and do something to me. What should I do? — Terrified From Texting

ADVICE Then they wanted me to send some without the top. I felt pressured. I got so scared I couldn’t sleep, so I had to tell my mom. She helped me delete my account and told me it was dangerous, but she always loves me. It was hard for me to tell her because I was scared she was going to be mad. I want your readers to know this can happen and there are chat room apps for iPods. I’m smart. I get good grades in school, but these guys almost tricked me into doing something I didn’t want to do. I still have trouble sleeping because I’m afraid one of them will see me on the

Dear Terrified: I’m glad you took the time to write. You are a very lucky girl. You are fortunate to have a good relationship with your mother and that you could go to her right away when you realized you were in over your head. Remember, once something is on the Web it’s there for good. You are intelligent enough that things didn’t progress any further. Thank you for wanting to warn other young people about your experience. Adults can lecture about the dangers of communicating with strangers on the Internet, but it’s easy to tune them out. It’s also easy

to forget that the same rules apply in the virtual world as apply in the real world. If something makes you uncomfortable, listen to your gut and leave the area. I hope other young women will learn from what happened to you and recognize how careful they must be in chat rooms because as your experience illustrates, not everyone is who they pretend to be. Bottom line: If anyone wants to text or chat and things progress in a way that makes you uncomfortable, it’s time to carefully consider whether to proceed or not. Immediately show the text or chat to someone (a parent or an older, more knowledgeable friend) and ask for an opinion, Remember, you have the ability to block the person at any time. Do not

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It may seem to you that it will be difficult for you to predict where you’ll be next month, only because your needs are so rapidly changing, declining and developing anew. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The one you’re attracted to may not fit sensibly into your life. It’s because infatuation doesn’t come from a wise and experienced place in your psyche. It is infantile in its impulsive whimsy. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re usually excellent at staying in touch with people, but right now socializing isn’t the number one priority. You may have to convince someone that out of sight isn’t out of mind. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Flow with what you feel. Like your ruling luminary, the moon, you appear in different forms to your loved ones, depending on where you are in the cycles of time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Get an unpleasant task out of the way. You can treat it like ripping off a Band-Aid. Faster is better — there will be a sting; then it’s over and you can get on with what promises to be a stellar day. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everyone learns differently. What will work for you will be different from what works for another. So just be honest and nonjudgmental with yourself about what works. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The circumstances around you may have you very wound up indeed. Relax. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself. Once you make relaxation a priority, you’ll actually have fun.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be engaged in a job that you think just about anyone on earth could do, but the truth is that no one can — at least not in the way you can do it. Sometimes it just has to be you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your questions will have more of an impact on the day than your answers will. Asking an excellent question can blow a locked door right off its hinges. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your interest in the problems of ordinary people is quite extraordinary. You’ll influence others with your thought, but only because you follow it up with such interesting actions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No matter how talented you already are, there is always more waiting to burst forth. And if you feel limited, there is someone inside you who can blow through those limits. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A personal development effort may seem to have led you right back to where you started, except for the impossibility of that outcome. Everything you experience changes you in some way. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 25). You know what you want and you’ll do what it takes to get it this year. Your partner in fun and crime will be by your side every minute in August — so much so that you may crave solo time in September. October focuses on getting finances in line so you’re ready to take an important step in January. Cancer and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 23, 2 and 35.
