TUESDAY, JULY 26, 2011

WASHINGTON — In unprecedented back-to-back appearances on nationwide television, President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner clashed Monday night over the cause and cure for the nation’s debt crisis. The two men spoke as Congress remained gridlocked on legislation to avert a threatened default after Aug. 2. Decrying a “partisan three-

ring circus” in the nation’s capital, Obama assailed a newly minted Republican plan to raise the nation’s debt limit as an invitation to another crisis in six months’ time. He said congressional leaders must produce a compromise that can reach his desk before the deadline. “The American people may have voted for divided government, but they didn’t vote for a dysfunctional government,” the president said in a hastily arranged prime-time speech. He

appealed to the public to contact lawmakers and demand “a balanced approach” to reducing federal deficits — including tax increases for the wealthy as well as spending cuts. Responding moments later from a room near the House chamber, Boehner said the “‘crisis atmosphere” was of the president’s making. “The sad truth is that the presSee DEBT, Page 9A

The number of confirmed West Nile Virus positives are already well ahead of last year’s pace in Luzerne County. And Monday’s heavy rains, which are likely to be followed by temperatures back into the 80s and 90s later this week, could compound the issue.

Lt. Gov. Cawley comments on issues in visit State official says state EMA will aid flood victims, defends gas advisory panel’s work. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley took a few minutes on Monday to talk about a few local and statewide issues during a visit to the Westmoreland Club. “I’m here this evening to stop in to Wilkes-Barre to visit … with the people of this community (and) show my support for the Luzerne County Republican Party and its efforts to bring good government to the region,” Cawley said during an exclusive interview in the club’s library before a cocktail reception. He said he was also in the area Friday and met with with county commissioners from Northern Tier counties in Scranton to discuss the Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission report and other matters of concern in county government. One issue in Luzerne County officials are dealing with is the millions of dollars of damage caused by flash flooding July 3 that does not meet the threshold for federal disaster relief. Cawley said he had “a great deal of experience with flooding problems”

during the six years he served as a county commissioner. “We had to declare Bucks County a disaster area twice because the Delaware had come over its banks,” Cawley said. While acknowledging a $4.2 billion state deficit, Cawley said the state Emergency Management Agency would “stand ready to help (flood victims) in whatever ways that we can to help make sure that they get their lives back on track as soon as possible.” Also of concern in Luzerne County are statewide issues such as natural gas drilling. While the gas advisory commission that Cawley led was praised for many of its recommendations, criticism was leveled for a lack of recommendations on impact fee funding to boost environmental funds, air quality and other issues. Cawley said he would “respectfully disagree” with the critics. The report “established a foundation upon which we could continue to move policy forward on this issue. … I’m not naïve enough to believe that when we presented our document that everybody was going to sing its praises and they were going to lay pompons in front of me and say ‘Wonderful!’ We know there are a great many challenges that still to be addressed on the issue,” he said.

Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley speaks with a reporter at the Westmoreland Club in Wilkes-Barre on Monday before making an appearance at a county Republican Party event.

“And it’s interesting to me in particular the air quality claims came loudest from a former secretary of (the Department of) Environmental Protection who did nothing during his tenure to address these issues,” Cawley said, referring to former DEP Secreta-

ry and commission member Michael Krancer. Cawley said Gov. Tom Corbett wanted the commission to address impact fees solely in relation to direct impacts of drilling on communities. He said the shale industry already pays hun-

dreds of millions of dollars annually into state coffers to help sustain environmental and other programs. On the legislative issues he expects Corbett will want to tackle when the legislature reconvenes, Cawley deferred to the governor.

By RASHA MADKOUR Associated Press

MIAMI — The Muslim holy month of Ramadan falls during the long, hot days of August this year, and Muslim Americans are getting ready to accommodate the daylight fasts required during Ramadan with adjustments in their schedules and eating habits. It can be even tougher for Muslims in America than for their counterparts in majorityMuslim countries, where business slows down during Ramadan and people take it easier during the day, says Dr. Elizabeth Rourke, an internist at Boston Medical Center. “In the U.S., everyone is required to do what they would do ordinarily, the entire month,” Rourke said, “so it makes the fast much more demanding for American Muslims.” Mubarakah Ibrahim, a personal trainer, hopes to cram all her clients in the morning when she has the most energy. She’ll serve vegetables as the first course when her family breaks their fast in the evenings to make sure they get their nutrients for the day. And she’ll buy her four kids — ranging in age from 10 to17 — shiny new water bottles as a reminder to hydrate during the hours they’re not fasting. “We know spirituality can get you through anything,” said Ibrahim, who lives in New Haven, Conn. “But the choice

really is, you can suffer through it and still do it, or you can do it and do it efficiently without making your health suffer.” Ramadan requires daily fasts of food and water during daytime hours. Typically observers eat a meal before dawn and break their fast at sunset. The fast-breaking meal — which varies by ethnic group but traditionally starts with a handful of sweet dates — is seen by many Muslims as an opportunity to gather with family and friends. This year Ramadan begins Aug. 1, when the period from dawn to sunset in the continental U.S. can range from around 14 to around 16 hours, depending where you live. The Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, which is shorter than the sunbased Gregorian calendar, so Ramadan creeps up 11 days every year. Ramadan can last 29 or 30 days, again depending on the lunar cycle. Fasting during Ramadan is one of the most important du-

ties in Islam, one that even the not-so-religious typically observe. Children are not required to fast until they hit puberty, though many start building up to it when they’re younger with half-day fasts. Also exempt are the elderly, women who are pregnant or nursing, and people with chronic medical conditions. But even for healthy Muslims, the daily fast from dawn until sunset can be grueling. Rourke teaches medical residents about Ramadan and its implications for patients — how to adjust medication regimens to fit the daytime fast when possible, how to advise patients on avoiding dehydration, how to enlist help from a local religious leader if someone who shouldn’t be fasting expresses the intention to do so. Even for a totally healthy person to sustain that fast for a long period of time during a time where it can be very hot, it’s a very demanding thing to ask of your body,” Rourke said.

the ongoing $12 million Coal Street Realignment project. The public meeting concerning the roadwidening project, scheduled for completion in October 2012, will be held Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Coal Street Park complex. Mayor Tom Leighton said he will be joined by state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, other city officials and PennDOT representatives. He said residents are encouraged to come with questions and concerns about the project and officials will present the future design of Coal

Street. At the July City Council meeting, Coal Street resident Monica Jendrzejewski expressed concern about parking along Coal Street. Jendrzejewski, who lives at 203 Coal St., said she has a lot of visitors – mostly family – and parking always has been limited, but with the road widening project that has been going on for months the situation will only get worse. Butch Frati, the city’s director of operations, said the project will widen Coal

Street to five lanes and change the access point on Wilkes-Barre Boulevard. He said parking along Coal Street will be eliminated when the project is completed. Frati said there will be a 12-space “parklet” between North Hancock and North Grant streets, and the spaces will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. He said some additional spots will be available along the old Coal Street from the boulevard to North Hancock near Walter’s Hardware Store. The new design includes four pull-off areas for buses, Frati said. More than $1 million was spent on property acquisitions to make the street wider, Frati said. PennDOT spokesman James May said residents were notified of the project details long before construction began.

WILKES-BARRE – More than 200 area homeless men and women will have something to help keep them warm when the temperatures drop. Four people are leading a project to make sleeping bags for the homeless and distribute them in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties.

The state Superior Court has overturned a Lackawanna County judge’s ruling that dismissed a lawsuit filed by a woman’s whose daughter died after allegedly receiving negligent care at an area group home. Pearl Mary Potts of Montrose filed suit against Step By Step Inc. in connection with the February 2008 death of her daughter, Julie, who suffered from cerebral palsy and mental retardation. The suit, filed by attorney Lawrence Finney of Philadelphia, alleged workers at a Step by Step group home in Clarks Summit failed to obtain appropriate medical care for Julie Potts when she became ill on Feb. 18, 2008. An autopsy showed Potts died of a perforated gastric ulcer. Judge Harold Thompson dismissed the suit in June 2010, finding Step by Step, which also operates group homes in Luzerne County was immune from the suit. Thompson said Potts had failed to show the staff engaged in gross negligence, which was a required finding to overcome a law that provides immunity to providers who serve the disabled. The Superior Court overturned the ruling on Friday. In its decision, the court said there was evidence that staff at the home ignored a clear directive from a nurse who advised them to call her if Potts showed any signs of physical deterioration. The court said it believed that fact could lead a jury to determine the staff was grossly negligent. HARRISBURG

Mark Komoroski and Korznikov, a Russian national, were charged in January 2008 with violating the Arms Export Control Act for trying to smuggle military equipment, including rifle scopes, firearm magazines and face shields, into Russia. Komoroski pleaded guilty in August 2009 to five counts of conspiracy and was sentenced in July 2010. The dispute in his sentence centers on whether any of the items involved are on a list that requires the seller to have a special license from the U.S. Department of State, which Komoroski did not possess. Komoroski maintains the government wrongly concluded that 21 items shipped qualified for inclusion on that list – a determination that raised the sentencing guideline range in his case from eight

That’s when she discovered his sentence had been based on a guideline relating to “offenses involving national defense and weapons of mass destruction.” Komoroski said the guideline range for that offense is much lower if the weapons involved were non-fully automatic small arms, such as rifles and handguns. In her husband’s case, he had shipped rifle scopes, firearm magazines and face shields, thus he should have qualified for the lesser sentencing range. “They had Mark and I believing (the items) were on the State De-

Norway lowers camp death toll

Winehouse’s parents overwhelmed

Amy Winehouse’s parents, Mitch and Janis, weep Monday as they view floral tributes outside their daughter’s home in London’s Camden Square. Mitch Winehouse greeted and thanked mourners for coming to lay bouquets, messages and handwritten notes, only hours before police promised to release a post mortem on her death. ‘This means so much to my family,’ he said. The 27-year-old singer died Saturday after publicly struggling with drug and alcohol abuse for years.

STOCKHOLM — Norwegian police said Monday that the double-counting of bodies in the chaotic aftermath of a shooting spree may have contributed to a dramatic overestimate of the number of people slain, but they offered few other details about the error. The sharp reduction in the death toll, from 86 to 68, added to a list of police misteps. Officers took 90 minutes to arrive after the first shot was fired at youth gathering for a political party retreat on an island resort. People who called emergency services from the island have reported being told by operators to stay

in Friday’s bomb blast in the capital’s government quarter to eight, from seven. The total number of people confirmed killed in the twin attacks is now 76, down from 93. There was no indication that any specific person was erroneously reported to have died. Police blamed the mix-up on the chaotic situation that erupted on Utoya island when police and rescue workers tried to sort the injured from the dead under mounting pressure to reveal that the number of slain youths was much higher than originally reported. “It could be that some were counted twice,” police spokesman Oystein Maeland told reporters at a news conference in Oslo, explaining that bodies were spread all over the island and some of

the dead hidden under other bodies. “But it was necessary to get that information out there (fast) because it was sky-high compared with the number that media had been given.” A 32-year-old Norwegian, Anders Behring Breivik, is a suspect in both the Oslo blast and the camp shooting. He was seized on the island in a lake north-

west of Oslo and is in custody. Police initially set the death toll from the shooting at 10. But as survivors left the island, people began saying online and to news media that the total number of fatalities was much higher. Early Saturday morning, police released a statement saying abouy 80 people had likely been killed.

Father: Bear attack fast

A grizzly pounced so furiously on a group of teenagers in the Alaska wilderness that they did not have time to pull out their bear deterrent spray to defend themselves, the father of one of the boys said Monday. The seven teenagers were in the last leg of a 30-day backcountry education course when they came upon the bear and its cub on Saturday night. The teens at the front of the pack bore the brunt of the attack, authorities said. They were rescued early Sunday after activating their emergency locator beacon and tending to the wounded.

Tests pending in well death

A coroner says autopsy test results are pending in the death of a worker at a southwestern Pennsylvania natural gas well. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the death of 20-year-old Kerry Duncan, of Amma, W.Va. Duncan worked for Target Drilling, of Smithton, when he was killed shortly before 4 a.m. Friday at a well in Franklin Township, Greene County. Target’s chief financial officer, Don Williams, tells The Associated Press that Duncan was part of a three-man crew that completed the well and was tearing down the rigging. Williams says the company’s thoughts and prayers are with Duncan’s family, and says Target is cooperating with OSHA and other investigators. SANAA, YEMEN

Rallies demand change

A powerful Yemeni tribal leader warned Monday against attacks on anti-government protesters as hundreds of thousands rallied in the capital Sanaa and several other cities calling for regime change. Yemen has been gripped by a sixmonth political crisis, with near daily street protests demanding longtime President Ali Abdullah Saleh step down. Sheik Sadeq al-Ahmar, who in March joined the uprising against Saleh, warned the army not to attack thousands of students camped out close to Sanaa University. A youth group said earlier that the government is preparing to storm the camp. Meanwhile, a small group of Saleh’s supporters, including women and children who live close to the students’ camp, demonstrated in front of the presidential palace demanding the camp be emptied. They carried banners claiming their lives have been disrupted by the camp’s proximity.

Train wreck may derail plans Crash that killed at least 39 in China may put high-speed rail expansion on hold. By LOUISE WATT Associated Press

BEIJING — Doubts about China’s breakneck plans to expand high-speed rail across the country have been underscored by a bullet train wreck that killed at least 39 people. One train rammed into the back of another that had stalled after being hit by lightning Saturday in China’s deadliest rail accident since 2008. Six carriages derailed and four fell about 65 to 100 feet (20 to 30 meters) from a viaduct. More than 190 people were injured. Railways Minister Sheng Guangzu has apologized to the victims of the crash and their families. The U.S. Embassy in Beijing said two U.S. citizens were among the dead. The Italian Foreign Ministry said a 22-year-old Italian woman was killed while another Italian was injured. The Railways Ministry and government officials haven’t explained why the second train was apparently not warned there was a stalled train in its path. One expert said he thought human error may have been involved.

Workers use excavators around the wreckage of train cars Sunday in Wenzhou, east China’s Zhejiang Province, after a train collision and derailment Saturday.

“I think the problem may have come from the mistakes of dispatching management, instead of technological failure,” said Qi Qixin, a professor at the Transportation Research Institute of Beijing University of Technology. “The system should have an ability to automatically issue a warning or even stop a train under such circumstances,” he said. The accident is the latest blow to China’s bullet train ambitions. Designed to

show off the country’s rising wealth and technological prowess, the high-speed rail project has national prestige on par with China’s space program. Beijing plans to expand the highspeed rail network — already the world’s biggest — to link far-flung regions and is also trying to sell its trains to Latin America and the Middle East. But critics say tickets are costly and the services do not really meet the needs of average travelers in many areas.

House Dem leader wants ethics probe into Wu sex report David Wu and Nancy Pelosi talked on phone Saturday but neither politician has disclosed details.

By KEVIN FREKING and TIM FOUGHT Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Oregon Democratic Rep. David Wu faced increased pressure Monday after House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi called for an ethics investigation over an 18-year-old woman’s claim of an “unwanted sexual encounter” with him. Pelosi sent a letter Monday to leaders of the House Ethics Committee, saying an investigation is warranted.

“Recent press reports and statements attributed to our colleague, Representative David Wu, indicate that he may Wu have engaged in inappropriate activities,” Pelosi wrote. Meanwhile, lawmakers will find it harder to avoid questions about their position on Wu’s future, a scenario similar to six

weeks ago when they had to deal with the distraction of former Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner, who had sent lewd photos of himself to women online. Wu and Pelosi had a telephone conversation Saturday but neither politician has disclosed details. Wu’s only response so far has been a brief statement late Friday: “This is very serious, and I have absolutely no desire to bring unwanted publicity, attention or stress to a young woman and her family.”

NEW YORK — The hotel housekeeper accusing Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexually assaulting her is telling her story publicly, she says, because she wants the former International Monetary Fund leader behind bars. But it’s hard to say whether her striking move will help or hobble her goal. Nafissatou Diallo’s decision to speak out in media interviews is an unusual and risky move for an accuser at this point in a criminal case, legal experts said. It gives her an empowering chance to tell her side of the story as prosecutors weigh whether to press ahead with the case amid their concerns about her credibility. But it also enshrines a version of events that defense lawyers could mine for discre- Strauss-Kahn pancies with her grand jury testimony or use as fodder to argue she was seeking money or public attention. Whatever the outcome, “it’s an extraordinary turn of events, I would say, for her to go on a kind of lobbying, public relations campaign to get this case tried,” said Pace Law School professor and former prosecutor Bennett L. Gershman. After staying silent for nearly two months about an alleged attack that Strauss-Kahn vehemently denies, Diallo gave her account to Newsweek and ABC News. Adding details and her own voice to the basics authorities have given, Diallo said the former IMF leader grabbed and attacked her “like a crazy man” in his $3,000-a-night Manhattan hotel suite on May 14 as she implored him to stop and feared for her job. “I push him. I get up. I wanted to scare him. I said, ‘Look, there is my supervisor right there,’ ” she told Newsweek in an interview in her lawyer’s office. Strauss-Kahn’s lawyers on Monday called the interviews “a desperate distraction from the key fact that Ms. Diallo has had to admit to misleading” prosecutors. The interviews come with the case against Strauss-Kahn in limbo after Manhattan prosecutors raised doubts about the housekeeper’s overall credibility. They said on July 1 that she had lied about her life story and gave inconsistent descriptions about what she did right after the alleged attack.

Science camp sparks interest among girls A Wilkes University program aims to reverse a trend that worries educators. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Maybe it’s the dancing robots, the room full of live raptors, or the chance to dissect frogs, but Wilkes University is clearly doing something right with its “Women Empowered By Science,” or WEBS, summer camps for seventh- and eighth-grade girls. Enrollment in the two-week program has doubled annually for three years. “A lot of research shows that boys and girls have equal interest and abilities in science and math into fifth grade,” said Camp Coordinator Debra Chapman. “We are trying to maintain their enthusiasm.” The camp started Monday with icebreaker events to help 60 girls from 14 area schools get to know each other. “They were wall-climbing activities, and this afternoon they learned to use a microscope,” Chapman said, noting that last year some students were unfamiliar with the university’s sophisticated Leica microscopes when they were put into laboratories for some of the experiments. Wilkes has run the WEBS program for10 years, conducting laboratory visits and experiments for middle-school girls, usually once a month during the school year. Three years ago, the university biology department won a $1 million grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, with one-quarter of that going to the WEBS program. That was enough to fund the summer camp for five years, Chapman said. Students pay tuition to attend, but the grant keeps the cost at a minimum. “We break even,” she said. Students participate in labs that run from 90 minutes to three hours, in programs as diverse as genetics, video game programming, compounding chemicals in a pharmacy laboratory, chemical analysis of food, frog dissection, and a visit with some common raptors such as owls, eagles and hawks. The two weeks culminate in a chance to program Lego robots that dance to the students’ favorite music. Chapman suspects that girls lose interest in science once they reach middle school because society just doesn’t provide much of a “support service” for them. She said that since the start of the WEBS program 10 years ago, that problem has diminished. Her biggest success story? It may be that one student from that first year returned to Wilkes. She’s a pharmacy major.

cies.” The university also won praise for offering “pre-tenure mentoring and an office that helps faculty prepare and submit research grant applications.” Garvey said that, while multiple “senates” are fairly common in colleges and universities, he

believes Marywood has an unusually high participation rate. He also said there are numerous other employee committees that help make policy recommendations. A key reason Marywood made the list probably was “the respect and appreciation of the employ-

ees,” Garvey said. “We have a lot of long-term faculty and staff. We have housekeepers who have been here for 25, 30 years.” In a press release, University President Sister Anne Munley noted Marywood was one of only 42 institutions in the “medium” size category – 3,000 to 9,999 – to

make the Chronicle’s list. Garvey conceded Marywood got recognition in only five of 12 categories reviewed for the rankings, but simply took that as a challenge to improve. Which one is next? “Any of the other seven,” he said.

Postal Service eyes cash-saving closings Some offices will be replaced by facilities in businesses, town halls and centers.

By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Postal Service is launching a study of thousands of local post offices for possible closure in an effort to save money. The cash-strapped agency, which lost $8 billion last year, scheduled a briefing for today at which it is expected to announce the action. Most of the approximately 3,600 offices that face reviews are in rural areas, but postal official say they are looking into alternate service, such as locating offices in local businesses, town halls or community centers. In those cases the so-called Village Post Office would replace one to be closed. And coming under review doesn’t necessarily mean an office will close. The post office announced in January it was reviewing 1,400 offices for closing.

So far 280 have been closed and 200 have finished the review process and will remain open. Once an office is selected for a review, people served by that office will have 60 days to file their comments and, if an office is to be closed, they will be able to appeal to the independent Postal Regulatory Commission. The post office has been struggling to cope with the loss of firstclass mail to the Internet at the same time a lot of advertising mail declined because of the recession. Last year an estimated 50 percent of bills were paid by Internet rather than the mail, up from 5 percent a decade earlier. In addition to closing offices the Postal Service has sharply reduced its staff over the last several years and cut billions from its costs. It has also asked Congress to allow it to cut back to delivery five-days-a-week and to ease the requirement for an annual $5.5 billion payment to fund future retiree health benefits. Currently the post office operates more than 31,000 local offices, branches and stations, down from 38,000 a decade ago.

Judge halts release of ex-Philadelphia Cardinal Bevilacqua’s secret grand jury testimony The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia judge has halted the release of 1,200 pages of grand jury testimony of a Roman Catholic cardinal relating to his handling of priest sex-abuse complaints. Prosecutors said they filed Cardinal Anthony Bevilac-

qua’s secret testimony from 2003 to support criminal charges filed this year against a high-ranking church official. Monsignor William Lynn is charged with conspiracy

and child endangerment for allegedly transferring priestpredators without warning. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Sunday that Bevilacqua, the former archbishop, testified that accused

priests “would not be able to function” if new parishes were warned of their backgrounds. Common Pleas Judge Lillian Ransom has put a hold on the further release of the

documents filed Friday. She did not immediately return a call for comment Monday. The 88-year-old Bevilacqua now suffers from cancer and dementia.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — A sentence in which tiny birds and the English language are both slaughtered took top honors Monday in an annual bad writing contest. Sue Fondrie of Oshkosh, Wis., won the 2011 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest for her sentence comparing forgotten memories to dead sparrows, said San Jose State University professor Scott Rice. The contestant asks writers to submit the worst possible opening sentences to imaginary novels. Fondrie wrote: “Cheryl’s mind turned like the vanes of a wind-powered turbine, chopping her sparrow-like thoughts into bloody pieces that fell onto a growing pile of forgotten memories.” The University of Wisconsin professor’s 26word sentence is the shortest grand prize winner in the contest’s 29-year history, Rice said. Contest judges liked that Fondrie’s entry reminded them of the 1960s hit song “The Windmills of Your Mind,” which Rice described as an image that “made no more sense then than it does now.” The contest is named after British author Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, whose 1830 novel “Paul Clifford” begins with the oft-quoted opening line “It was a dark and stormy night.” The contest solicits entries in a variety of categories. John Doble of New York won in the historical fiction category: “Napoleon’s ship tossed and turned as the emperor, listening while his generals squabbled as they always did, splashed the tepid waters in his bathtub.” To take the prize for best purple prose, Mike Pedersen of North Berwick, Maine, relied on a thesaurus’-worth of synonyms: “As his small boat scudded before a brisk breeze under a sapphire sky dappled with cerulean clouds with indigo bases, through cobalt seas that deepened to navy nearer the boat and faded to azure at the horizon, Ian was at a loss as to why he felt blue.”

Christie in Iowa but rules out bid

New Jersey Republican governor has repeatedly said he will not run in 2012. By SEEMA MEHTA Los Angeles Times

DES MOINES, Iowa — Chris Christie swung through Iowa on Monday, raising questions about his political ambitions in the state that holds the first voting contest in the nation. The New Jersey Republican governor has repeatedly said he will not run for president in 2012, and he repeated that on Monday. “In the end, it’s something you’ve got to believe in your heart is necessary for you to do with your life. As I said before, I don’t feel that at the moment,” Christie told reporters after speaking at an education summit. He has faced repeated entreaties from supporters, which he said he found “overwhelming.” But he said the decision was a personal one for him and his family. He said he recently told a group of New York City fun- Christie draisers: “When I’m in that hotel room in Des Moines and it’s 15 below and the alarm clock goes off at 4 o’clock in the morning, none of you are going to be there.” Christie said he does not know if he will endorse anyone in the GOP field, and no candidate to date has excited him enough to do it, but that could change in the upcoming months of campaigning. “To get there I have to feel that way about one of the people offering themselves for president,” he said. “If that moment comes, I certainly won’t keep it a secret.” Christie denied that he was trying to lay the groundwork for a 2016 run. “Here’s what I have to say about politics — two months is a long time, let alone five years. I’m not out here to lay any groundwork at all about any kind of future aspiration,” he said. “2016 is a long, long way away.” But he is keeping relations warm with Iowa Republicans who could be useful in the future. Earlier in the day, Christie spoke at an education summit at the behest of Gov. Terry Branstad, for whom Christie fundraised during his gubernatorial campaign last year. Christie is known for being frank and somewhat bombastic — he has referred to the leaders of his state’s teachers unions as “political thugs.” But in front of the audience of hundreds of educators, he took a more conciliatory tone. Christie argued that all sides should be able to agree that school districts where most students don’t graduate are failures, and that it wasn’t morally acceptable to blame it on uninvolved parents. “I think we spend a lot of time on this issue unfortunately talking about things that we disagree about. We spend a lot of time focused on the issues that divide us in terms of the future of the education system of our country,” he said. “I think as we move toward a very key time in the country’s history, with governors across America looking for ways to try to improve educational opportunities for all of our children regardless of where they live, we need to start focusing more on the things that unite us.”

degrees that tied a record on Friday. Last week’s heat dome contributed to Monday’s severe thunderstorms. “A cold front pressing into the eastern part of the nation will tap into a warm, moist atmosphere, setting the stage for bouts of showers and thunderstorms from Vermont to Pennsylvania and West Virginia,” said Accuweather Meteorologist Brian Edwards. “Most areas could use the rainfall,

especially across western New York and Pennsylvania where abnormally dry conditions are found.” The rainfall total measured at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport since Jan. 1 is 30 inches, about 9.8 inches above normal at this time of year, according to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, N.Y. However, a very limited amount of rain has fallen since July 3, causing gardens, lawns and

stalled the Republicans in power in the House last fall. There were concessions from both sides embedded in Monday’s competing legislation, but they were largely obscured by the partisan rhetoric of the day. With their revised plan, House Republicans backed off an earlier insistence on $6 trillion in spending cuts to raise the debt limit. And while the president didn’t say so, his embrace of legislation unveiled by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid effectively jettisoned his longstanding call for increased government revenues as part of any deficit reduction plan. The measure Boehner and the GOP leadership drafted in the House called for spending cuts and an increase in the debt limit to tide the Treasury over until sometime next year. A second increase in borrowing authority would hinge on approval of additional spending cuts sometime during the election year. Across the Capitol, Reid wrote legislation that drew the president’s backing, praise from House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi — and criticism from Republicans. Not all Republicans were happy with their leadership’s decision to scale back legislation that had cleared the House last week, only to die in the Senate. Among House conservatives who have provided the political muscle for the Republican drive to cut spending, the revised legislation was a disappointment. “I cannot support the plan,” said Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, one of the leading advocates of legislation that cleared the House last week and died in the Senate. But two rank-and-file Republicans said their constituents were voicing concerns other than the rising federal debt. Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Fla., said

fields to be deprived of muchneeded water. More thunderstorms are in the forecast today. Temperatures are expected to peak into the 90s once again later in the week. “The danger with a front cross-

ing into such a warm and humid atmosphere is the fact that some storms could produce locally heavy downpours,” Edwards said. “Rainfall amounts in a one-hour time frame will exceed 1 inch in some locations, leading to flash flooding, especially of poor-drain-

age and low-lying areas. If there is going to be any severe weather, the best chance will be across New York and Pennsylvania where the setup is the best.” Times Leader staff writer Steve Mocarsky contributed to this story.

his office is getting calls from constituents saying, “If I don’t get my Social Security check, it’s your fault.” Rep. Tom Reed, a New York freshman, said many of his constituents are telling him to stand firm in his drive to cut spending. “But I will admit there’s some anxiety in the district” about Social Security and other programs, he added. As Boehner readied his legislation, Senate Democratic leaders called a news conference to announce their own next steps.

The Democrats’ measure would cut $2.7 trillion in federal spending and raise the debt limit by $2.4 trillion in one step — enough borrowing authority to meet Obama’s bottom-line demand. The cuts include $1.2 trillion from across a range of hundreds of government programs and $1 trillion in savings assumed to derive from the end of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Boehner ridiculed the $1 trillion in war savings as gimmicky, but in fact, they were contained

in the budget the House passed earlier in the year. The legislation also assumes creation of a special joint congressional committee to recommend additional savings with a guaranteed vote by Congress by the end of 2011. Neither Boehner’s measure nor the one Reid was drafting included additional revenue, according to officials in both parties.

OTHER OPINION: HOUSE BILLS

An ugly affront on environment

ENNSYLVANIA is second only to Ohio in having the worst toxic air pollution in the nation, according to a report released last week by the Natural Resources Defense Council and Physicians for Social Responsibility. Read it and weep – weep for your country. Weep not only because Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are doing everything in their power to delay or stop the so-called Mercury Rule that the Environmental Protection Agency needs to clean the nation’s air, but also because the EPA and the environment itself are in the political cross hairs to an extent not seen in years. As Ed Perry, a retired biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and now the Penn-

sylvania outreach coordinator with the National Wildlife Federation, says, “This is the most amazing assault on clean air, water and wildlife that I have seen in my 40 years of working on conservation issues.” Consider the evidence: Earlier this month the House passed the Clean Water Cooperative Federalism Act, HR 2018, an attempt to gut the EPA’s power to set water standards for states. More anti-environmental mischief is pending: A vote is expected this week on the Department of the Interior, Environment and Related Appropriations Act, HR 2584, which is heavily larded with noxious affronts to the idea of responsible stewardship of the environment.

Medicare, Social Security not seen as entitlements

ocial Security and Medicare are not entitlements, as U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey and other elected officials apparently think. I paid cash for my Social Security insurance, which was loaned out to cover the war and other programs that we didn’t approve. Congressional benefits such as top-shelf health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks of vacation, unlimited paid sick days – now that’s entitlement. How about giving these benefits to the American people? Our senior citizens living on fixed incomes receive no aid, but the nation can give billions to countries such as Pakistan, Iraq, Chile and Haiti. Cut the Defense Department and end all the wars. How about taking care of us for a change? No cuts to Medicare!

Dorene Schutz Wilkes-Barre

Stop picking on seniors in order to save money

ell, here we go again. Social Security is the thing getting hit. If something isn’t done about the debt ceiling by the end of the month, Social Security checks will be held up. Well, I think enough is enough. I, like many other Americans, have worked for 50 years. I served my country for six years and I paid my dues, as have so many others. While our Social Security checks might stop, Congress still gets paid. People who are working still get paid and people on unemployment are going to get their checks. Now, what do people, millions of us, on Social Security do? Most of us depend mainly on Social Security to survive – Social Security alone. How do we pay our rent, pay our bills, pay for gas to go to the doctor’s office and to the store? What am I talking about store, how will we eat? Take away some of the money from the people who are running this country. Stop their checks. The country is in a bad economic downturn, and who put us here? The people who are higher up and run the country. Stop spending money foolishly, such as helping other countries and spending money on the war that we shouldn’t be a part of in the first place. Keep the money here for the people who worked all their lives and fought to keep America as a great nation, like it once was. Seniors feel this is discrimination, taking away what is theirs. Look at other places to save money and leave us alone.

Writer urges questioning of U.S. defense budget

ax Christi of Northeastern Pennsylvania applauds the recent letter from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to the Senate, which stated that budget decisions should be assessed by whether they protect life and dignity, how they affect the “least of these” and whether they promote the common good of workers who struggle to live in dignity in difficult economic times. The letter called attention to our staggering defense spending that directly contributes to the plight of the poor. We are spending 50 percent more now on defense, excluding the wars, than on Sept. 11, 2001. A new estimate of the cost of the wars is now at $4 trillion, including long-term care of injured soldiers. We continue occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and our nation is bombing Pakistan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia. The Eisenhower Research Project at Brown University estimates that at least 225,000 people have died, including an estimated 6,000 uniformed U.S. military personnel. After 10 years of bloodshed, we have been unable to prevail over a group with no army, navy or air force. Yet we plan to continue the never-ending wars? It is especially tragic that we are spending so much on the military but forcing veterans into the largest homeless subgroup in the country. Because they cannot find jobs, about 36 percent are homeless and living below the poverty line. Homeless vets make up 10 percent of the population of the nation’s capital. If we remain in Afghanistan, by 2015 the cost of medical and rehabilitative care will exceed 40 percent of military spending. We are spending nearly $44 million a month in Libya, in what seems to be a constitutionally illegal war. This while our budget planners work to decimate education, health and welfare? It is imperative that people of faith, especially our leaders, speak out on these issues. Blessed Franz Jagerstatter, who resisted war many years ago, said, “If the church stays silent in the face of what is happening, what difference would it make if no church were ever opened again?”

Quit playing games, start helping workers

t is time that the president and Congress stop the games that ultimately hurt us, the former working middle class, now known as the working poor. Social Security and Medicare must never be on the negotiating table, period. Our Republican leaders must stop using the psychological head games by referring to the top 5 percent of our population as the “job creators.” They are the wealthy. They have not created jobs; they have shipped the jobs overseas. And they do not invest their profits in America; they pocket them for the sole purpose of increasing their personal wealth. Sen. Mitch McConnell must stop saying that his main goal is to beat Obama in 2012. He must stop saying that there can be no negotiated resolve while President Obama is in office. That attitude is un-American, and if he can’t get past his Southern bigotry, then he should resign. Reps. Eric Cantor and John Boehner must ignore the crazy right and remember that they represent Americans, not just American business. When they say they will not vote to raise taxes, they present a monster lie. They make it sound as if the working poor will have higher taxes when, in fact, they only protect that top 5 percent, the oil companies, GE and the other huge-profit companies that take yet give nothing back. The American people have got to wake up and see that the only agenda of the right is to protect big profits and balance the budget by killing Social Security and Medicare. The proof is that Speaker Boehner put Social Security up for a vote, and the Boehner-led House voted to kill Social Security. Don’t be fooled by their golden tongues and their ability to turn a phrase. They say they want to reform Social Security and Medicare to strengthen it for years to come. Translated, they mean they want to gut both programs, and what little is left can survive because the benefits provided will be weak and miniscule in comparison to what we, the working poor, need to simply exist. This is class warfare and Boehner is the general leading the charge to cripple the working poor. Is there a simple solution? How about if they increase the amount the wealthy pay into Social Security and Medicare on income up to $500,000? It has been said that this change will cure the fiscal problems of Social Security and Medicare for the remainder of the century. Mr. President, it is time to produce the hope you promised. Stop the one-way negotiations, stand firm and if Mitch McConnell and Eric Cantor want to bring the country to a standstill, then it is on them and those they represent. We, the working poor, demand nothing less. Wil Toole Dupont

New type of board to operate airport under study Solicitors for Luzerne and Lackawanna counties urge putting off action for now.

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

PITTSTON TWP. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The solicitors for both Lackawanna and Luzerne counties agree that it is possible to disband the Bi-County Board of Commissioners that oversees the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport and replace it with a municipal authority. But they believe the decision should be put on hold until next

year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My overwhelming recommendation ... is while the authority is likely an effective idea, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an idea whose time has not come,â&#x20AC;? Neil Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell, the solicitor to the board representing Luzerne County, told the members of the airport board on Monday. He said that making a major change with a new 11-member Luzerne County Home Rule Commission board set to be seated in January doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To cram something in with five months to go, it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be right,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell said.

The matter arose in May when commissioners from both counties, who make up the current airport board, were evenly divided over the then proposed 2011 airport budget. Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien suggested the switch at that time after the board voted on four alternative budgets on the agenda and a compromise budget proposed by Luzerne County Commissioner Maryanne Petrilla, but none passed. On July 18, after a meeting between Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell, Lackawanna County Solicitor John Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien and Jeff Malak, Lu-

October, Sunday said. Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get sick from contracting West Nile encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain, he added. Those who do become infected can experience a fever, rash, headache, meningitis, encephalitis or death. Older adults and people with lower functioning immune systems are the most susceptible to developing the disease, including those with HIV, a recent organ transplant or someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undergoing chemotherapy. A National Weather Service weather spotter in Harveys Lake reported 2 inches of rainfall Monday. That comes days after a stretch of days that set, tied or came close to tying, record highs throughout Northeast Pennsylvania as sweltering heat, with high humidity, made outdoor activities unbearable. Sunday said the rainfall itself will not necessarily lead to increased positives, but he urged people to make sure there was no standing water on their property, including in old tires, pools or buckets. Those are prime

bates, including over the $200 million Essential Air Service program, which offers federal funding to airlines for providing service to small airports nationwide. Those who want to eliminate the subsidy program, including U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., say it is an example of federal spending the country canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford. McCain and other critics of the EAS program tried to eliminate the entire program in the stalled final FAA reauthorization bill, and now the issue is one of the things holding up another extension. The House transportation committee, chaired by GOP Rep. John Mica of Florida, wants to eliminate EAS subsidies for 13 airports as part of the extension, including four small airports in Pennsylvania: Lancaster, Johnstown, Bradford and Oil City. The Democratic-led Senate refuses to go along with that. Perhaps not coincidentally, several of the affected airports whose subsidies are eliminated by the House extension are located in the states of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W. Va., chairman of the

No matter what happens, authority or no authority, odd number of members or even, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said the end result will be accepted and embraced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to work,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make this

work next year.â&#x20AC;? Barry J. Centini, the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director, said waiting will have no major impact on how the airport operates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can it be done? Yes. Can it be done in a couple of months? Yes,â&#x20AC;? Centini said.

Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation committee, and Sen. Max Baucus, D-Montana, chairman of the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Essential Air Services caucus. The dispute stalling the extension â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the previous extension expired midnight Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also concerns a GOP proposal to make it more difficult for airline workers to unionize. This dispute over the FAA extension is unrelated to the impasse over raising the federal debt ceiling. Barlettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take Republican Rep. Lou Barletta of Hazleton, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, placed the blame for the snarled extension bill on the Senate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The U.S. Senate is preventing Americans from getting back to work at FAA job sites and improving air traffic control in Northeastern Pennsylvania,â&#x20AC;? said Shawn Kelly, Barlettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman. But the chairpersons of the bipartisan Essential Air Service Caucus in the Senate, Baucus and GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, said the House wants to

limit the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subsidies to airports that are 90 miles or more away from the nearest hub airport. Current rules limit the subsidies to small airports located no closer than 70 miles from a hub. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extending this distance will prevent deserving communities from important transportation options,â&#x20AC;? Baucus and Murkowski said in a letter to lawmakers urging them not to support the House version. The senators said they also oppose the House move to cut funding for airports that receive more than $1,000 in subsidy per passenger. Communities already are excluded from EAS funding in excess of a rate of subsidy per passenger of $200, unless that community is more than 210 miles from a hub, the senators said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;EAS crucially helps small communities with limited abilities to respond to medical emergencies. These communities should not be limited in this way,â&#x20AC;? Baucus and Murkowski said. But Barletta spokesman Kelly said that Barletta â&#x20AC;&#x153;agrees with the limited drawback that the House bill provides.â&#x20AC;?

ZLITAN, Libya â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Libyan government showed foreign journalists on Monday a destroyed flu clinic and food warehouses it said had been hit earlier in the day by NATO airstrikes, killing eight people. The attacks took place in the government-held town of Zlitan, 90 miles (140 kilometers) east of the capital Tripoli and not far from the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front line where rebels are battling Moammar Gadhafiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forces. NATO denied, however, that it had targeted civilians and said it had only hit a number of military objectives in the area. A rebel uprising that began in February against longtime Libyan leader Gadhafi escalated into a full-fledged civil war that threatens to split the country. The fighting has degenerated into a stalemate for months, despite a U.N.-mandated NATO air campaign targeting government forces in order to protect civilians. Even as government minders took journalists to what they described as sites of the latest NATO attacks, the distant rumblings of artillery and explosions could be heard to the east of Zlitan. In late afternoon, on the eastern edge of the city, journalists witnessed two airstrikes, with their distinctive mushroom cloud explosions. The Libyan government has

repeatedly claimed NATOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attacks kill civilians and state television is filled with images of dead children supposedly killed in these operations. Journalists based in Tripoli have heard NATO airstrikes almost every night for the past week, included apparent attacks on Gadhafiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearby compound. They have not been taken to any bombing sites in Tripoli, however, suggesting NATOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gunners are hitting military targets, at least in the capital. At the scene of the destroyed flu clinic, chest X-rays, medical supplies, flu testing kits and stretchers poked out of the shattered concrete building, and metal reinforcing rods stuck out at crazy angles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were eight people killed,â&#x20AC;? said Ramadan Mohammed, a local official, though journalists were not shown any remains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their bodies were returned

to the families who took them away, but they were shown on Libyan TV,â&#x20AC;? he added. Residents at the scene, where several bulldozers and earthmovers pawed through the rubble searching for any other bodies, maintained there were no military targets in the area. They said the hospital was hit at around 8 a.m. local time as people were arriving for work. A nearby complex of food warehouses were also hit, apparently by missiles, and one was still burning when the journalists arrived. Each warehouse had a hole torn in the roof, but in only one case did the projectile explode and ignite the supplies inside, including sacks of flour, macaroni, cooking oil and canned tomatoes. Journalists have in the past been shown sites described as civilian that turned out to be otherwise.

MOOSIC – Scranton/Wilkes-Barre exploded for 15 runs Monday night en route to a 15-1 victory over the Syracuse Chiefs at PNC Field. The Yankees got to Syracuse starter Yunesky Maya early, ralling for three runs in the bottom of the second. Doug Bernier drove in the first two runs of the game with a bases-loaded singled to right field. Kevin Russo then roped an RBI single to left, driving in Nunez to score easily See YANKEES, Page 4B

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

An admirable way to keep pitching in

tarting pitchers don’t automatically become perfect by throwing a perfect game, the way Roy Halladay against the Florida Marlins last season. They don’t necessarily reach elite status with a mesmerizing no-hitter in the playoffs, such as the one Halladay pitched to open the 2010 postseason for the Phillies. They earn the reputation of being an ace by doing what Halladay did Sunday. He didn’t have his best stuff, got hit around a little bit early on and surrendered a run in the first inning and two more in the fourth. Yet, by the time he was finished, Halladay retired the last 10 batters he faced and his Phillies had a 5-3 victory over San Diego. “That’s just his competitive nature, going out there, doing his thing,” admired Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard, who had two hits and scored two runs in the victory. Everyone thought the heat in Chicago did Halladay in. He lasted just three innings and one batter against the Cubs in his previous start before being removed while feeling weak on a hot day. That seemed strange for a guy who prides himself each day on his ability to be physically and mentally prepared for all challenges. “I had a stomach thing for a couple of days before,” Halladay said, insisting it wasn’t just the smoldering temperatures in Chicago that caused him to wilt. “I’m over it and anxious to move forward.” He moved full steam ahead Sunday through a steamy 94-degree game in Philadelphia. Halladay finished with eight strikeouts in eight innings, didn’t allow a hit after the fifth and never lost the lead after the Phillies gave him a 2-1 advantage in the bottom of the first. This despite surrendering eight hits and facing a first-inning deficit. “I think he had more problems than just the heat the other day,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. “He came back good, very good. He was getting a good angle on the ball, he was popping the ball better.” The Phillies have come to trust Halladay to do that, to make a losing streak go pop, to follow a sub-par outing with a super one, to be the best when he’s not exactly brilliant. Because last year’s National League Cy Young Award winner didn’t run his record to 12-4 with Sunday’s victory by backing off from challenges. “Everyone was wondering how I’d react to the heat back here,” Halladay conceded after working in another game that felt as if it were played in a steam room. “I never felt like I was hot or anything like that. “I’d stand out there as long as I had to.” It is why the Phillies are standing on top of baseball with a 64-36 record, the best in either league – and why they stand a terrific shot of going to their third World Series in four years. They have a gamer named Halladay at the top of their rotation, and with everyone behind him following his lead, they are at the front of the pack. Even when heat and fatigue knocks their top pitcher on his back. “People had a lot of questions about what happened in Chicago,” Howard said. “He went out (Sunday) and answered those questions.” All pitchers face difficulties at one point or another. But the way Halladay reacts to them erases all doubt.

Padres finally get best of Phils The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Aaron Harang outpitched Cliff Lee, Chris Denorfia stole home and the San Diego Padres beat the Philadelphia Phillies for the first time in more than a year, 5-4 on Monday. Harang (9-2) gave up four runs in six innings to help the Padres avoid a four-game sweep and defeat the Phillies for the first time since June 7, 2010. The Phillies had beaten the Padres 10 straight times, their second-longest streak against them since winning 11 from 2004-06. Lee (9-7) lasted only four innings, his second-shortest outing of the season. He allowed 10 hits, five runs and made a pickoff blunder that allowed Denorfia to steal home. His soft toss to first gave Denorfia the opening he needed to bolt from third and give the Padres a 3-1 lead. Heath Bell pitched the ninth for his 29th save. Domonic Brown opened the ninth with a walk and advanced to second on a sacrifice. Ross Gload, who leads the majors with 13 pinch hits, struck out swinging on a 95 mph fastball. Bell retired Jimmy Rollins on a flyout to save it for Harang. After the Phillies staked Lee to a 1-0 lead, he unraveled in the second. Lee, who had allowed only three runs over 14 innings in his last two starts, gave up four in the inning. Jesus Guzman led off the inning with a double and scored on Rob Johnson’s tying double. Johnson came around on Denorfia’s single to left. Denorfia advanced to second on the throw home, stole third, then scored when Lee attempted to pick off Jason Bartlett at first. Chase Headley’s RBI double to center made it 4-1 and the Phillies couldn’t recov-

Indians 3, Angels 2

CLEVELAND — Jason Kipnis delivered his first career hit with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning to give the Cleveland Indians a victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Kipnis hit a 1-0 pitch from Hisanori Takahashi between first and second base to give the Indians their 11th home win in their last at-bat and break a four-game losing streak. Tony Sipp (5-2) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win after Bobby Abreu’s two-run homer off Vinnie Pestano put the Angels ahead 2-1 in the eighth. Angels closer Jordan Walden blew his seventh save in 30 tries.

Cardinals 10, Astros 5

ST. LOUIS — Slow-footed catcher Yadier Molina was a triple shy of the cycle for the second time in three games and Kyle McClellan ended an eight-game victory drought in the St. Louis Cardinals’ win over the Houston Astros. Trailing 8-1, Carlos Lee made it interesting with his 16th career grand slam in the eighth off P.J. Walters, cutting the gap to three runs before St. Louis answered with two runs. He’s tied for ninth on the career list with Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Dave Kingman and second on the active list, trailing only Alex Rodriguez’ 21. Mets 4, Reds 2

CINCINNATI — Carlos Beltran’s sacrifice fly started a four-run rally in the seventh inning off Cincinnati’s bullpen on Monday night, and the New York Mets held on for a victory over the Reds, who couldn’t get that elusive third straight win. The Mets rallied against Mike Leake (8-6) and two relievers, stopping Cincinnati’s modest two-game winning streak. The Reds haven’t won three in a row since they swept the Dodgers from June 13-15. R.A. Dickey (5-8) allowed eight hits and a pair of runs in 6 2-3 innings. Jason Isringhausen struck out Brandon Phillips with the bases loaded to end the opener of the fourgame series.

Yanks hand Mariners 16th straight loss NEW YORK — Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira each homered and drove in three runs, Freddy Garcia stifled his former team and the New York Yankees handed the snakebit Seattle Mariners their 16th straight loss with a 10-3 victory Monday night. A rain delay of 1 hour, 57 minutes was the only thing that slowed this loss for Seattle. The game was barely under way when Teixeira crushed any pregame hopes Seattle had of jumping out early and snapping the streak, hitting a rare homer into the second deck in left field after Curtis Granderson walked in the first. In the third, Jeter hit his first homer since connecting for hit No. 3,000 on July 9. He also tripled in the eighth.

er. The Phillies held a Christmas in July promotion and fans brought signs that read “Merry Cliff-Mas.” There was little good cheer after Ryan Ludwick’s sacrifice fly made it 5-1. The Padres, in last place in the NL West, snapped a threegame losing streak. They did it without getting a hit after the fifth inning.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

The Associated Press

White Sox 6, Tigers 3

CHICAGO — Mark Buehrle pitched six innings and Carlos Quentin hit a bases-loaded double as the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers to pull within 3 1⁄2 games of first in the AL Central. Buehrle (8-5) allowed 10 hits and Detroit had a runner on in each of his six innings, but the Tigers managed just two unearned runs off the left-hander. Detroit rookie Duane Below (0-1) surrendered six hits and four runs in 4 2-3 innings. Tigers manager Jim Leyland was ejected before the start of the sixth. There was no immediate word on why he was thrown out. Rangers 20, Twins 6

ARLINGTON, Texas — Ian Kinsler homered and drove in four runs as part of the Texas Rangers’ offensive barrage in a rout of the Minnesota Twins. Kinsler had four of the Rangers’ league-best 27 hits. Mike Napoli and Nelson Cruz also had four hits as all the Rangers starters had at least two except for third baseman Chris Davis, who was hitless in six at-bats. Michael Young also went deep and had three RBIs for Texas, which had 18 runs by the end of the fifth inning. Things were so one-sided that Michael Cuddyer moved from right field to the mound to pitch the eighth for the Twins. Cuddyer gave up a double to Napoli, a bloop single to Mitch Moreland, and walked Kinsler with one out to load the bases.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L Compiled by PAUL MONTELLA July 26 1928 — Bob Meusel of the New York Yankees hit for the cycle for the third time in his career. The Yankees scored 11 runs in the top of the 12th to beat the Detroit Tigers, 12-1, in 12 innings. 1939 — The New York Yankees tied a major league record by scoring in every inning against the St. Louis Browns. Bill Dickey hit three home runs in the 14-1 win. 1962 — Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee Braves set the National League record for home runs by a pitcher when he hit his 31st off New York’s Craig Anderson. Spahn dealt the Mets their 11th straight loss with a 6-1 victory. 1970 — Johnny Bench of the Cincinnati Reds hit three straight homers off Steve Carlton of the St. Louis Cardinals. On the same day, Orlando Cepeda of the Atlanta Braves connected for three consecutive homers in an 8-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. 1984 — Pete Rose of the Montreal Expos tied Ty Cobb on the all-time career singles list, No. 3,052, with a base hit in the eighth inning in a 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. 1991 — Montreal’s Mark Gardner became the first to pitch nine no-hit innings against a Dodger home team since Johnny Vander Meer beat Brooklyn at Ebbets Field on June 15, 1938, for his second straight gem. But the Dodgers won in the 10th on two singles off Gardner and Darryl Strawberry’s RBI single off Jeff Fassero. 1998 — Trevor Hoffman’s bid to set a major league record with 42 straight saves ended when the San Diego closer gave up a home run to Moises Alou on his first delivery in the ninth inning, tying the game. The Padres wound up beating Houston 5-4 in the 10th, but Hoffman blew his chance at history. 2005 — Greg Maddux recorded his 3,000th career strikeout against San Francisco, striking out Omar Vizquel in the third inning of a 3-2, 11-inning victory for the Giants. 2008 — Skip Schumaker went 6-for-7 to help St. Louis beat the New York Mets 10-8 in 14 innings. He became the first Cardinals player to have six hits in a game since Sept. 5, 1935 when Terry Moore did it against Boston. 2008 — Trevor Hoffman recorded his record 544th save, retiring the only batter he faced after Jose Bautista hit a solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning of San Diego’s 9-6 win at Pittsburgh. It also gave Hoffman his 14th season with at least 20 saves, the most in major league history. Lee Smith previously was the only other pitcher with at least 20 saves in 13 seasons. 2010 — Matt Garza pitched the first no-hitter in Tampa Bay Rays history and the fifth in the major leagues this season, beating the Detroit Tigers 5-0. Garza faced the minimum 27 batters, allowing only a second-inning walk. The Rays had been held hitless three times since last July, including a pair of perfect games.

Men charged in beating might have hurt others By THOMAS WATKINS Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Two men charged with the severe beating of a San Francisco Giants fan at Dodger Stadium are suspected of assaulting three other Giants fans at the opening day game, a law enforcement official said Monday. Detectives believe the other people were approached by suspects Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood on the west side of the stadium on March 31. Eyewitnesses told police they saw Sanchez assault one of those unidentified men, said the offi-

cial, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. Sanchez has been charged with misdemeanor assault in connection with that incident. He also is accused of misdemeanor battery on a woman at the game. The official said the woman was wearing a Giants shirt and Sanchez threw something at her. Sanchez and Norwood were charged Friday with felony mayhem and assault charges in the beating of Bryan Stow, a paramedic from Santa Cruz who remains hospitalized with a brain injury.

Sanchez, 29, and Norwood, 30, made their first court appearance Monday. Their arraignment was continued until Aug. 10. The Los Angeles Police Department has asked other possible victims to come forward, but made no further public statements on Monday. The defendants were arrested Thursday in Rialto, about 55 miles east of Los Angeles. Their capture led to the exoneration of Giovanni Ramirez, a man police previously labeled as the prime suspect. Court documents state that Norwood and Sanchez each in-

flicted great bodily injury on Stow, “causing him to become comatose due to brain injury and to suffer paralysis.” The case centers on incriminating statements the men have made, the official said. Some people initially reported the men bragged about the crime to co-workers, though some are now backing off those statements, the official said. Cell phone towers and photographs confirm that Norwood and Sanchez were at the game, the official said. Attorney Gilbert Quinones,

who represents Louie Sanchez, acknowledged his client was at the stadium with his family but insisted he did not participate in the attack on Stow. “He doesn’t fit the profile of someone who would commit this type of crime,” Quinones told reporters after his client appeared in court. Quinones said he could not comment on the possibility of his client being involved in other assaults. Norwood’s public defender, Lee Rosen, made an unsuccessful request for his client’s $500,000

bail to be reduced to $100,000. He did not immediately address the media. The attack reverberated throughout California and the nation as police and the Dodgers, whose financial woes have also brought national attention, sought to ease fears about violence at the storied stadium. Stow, the father of two children, appeared to mouth his last name and might have tried to give a thumbs-up, according to a family blog post last week. Sanchez is due back in court Aug. 1 for a bail hearing.

Russo and Greg Golson hit back-to-back singles to lead off the inning. Montero struck out, but Lamb made sure the Yankees extended their lead, hitting an RBI bloop single to centerfield. Vazquez gave the Yankees an insurance run with a sacrifice fly to right field. The Yankees exploded for seven runs in the bottom of the eighth. Vazquez, Austin Krum, Nunez, Bernier, Russo and Lamb all had RBIs. Syracuse scored their only run when Seth Bynum crushed a solo home run to left field.

Rafael Soriano pitched one inning in relief of Adam Warren. He allowed two groundouts and a strikeout. His fastball was consistently in the low 90s and topped out at 93.

By DARREN SABEDRA San Jose Mercury News

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The Bank of the West Classic official program notes that Serena Williams should be as fresh as she has ever been at this point in the season when she plays at Stanford beginning today. Not by choice, however. The health problems that sidelined the 13-time Grand Slam champion for nearly a year have limited her to just six WTA matches and caused her ranking to freefall from No. 1 to triple figures. Officially, she is currently No. 169. They also have raised questions about when she would return to top form. The hazy picture could come into focus this week as Williams plays her first hard-court tournament since she cut both feet on broken glass while leaving a restaurant in Munich, Germany, last July. Williams, 29, takes on Anastasia Rodionova in an openinground match Tuesday night at the Bank of the West Classic, Williams’ first action on tour since she lost last month to Marion Bartoli in the Round of16 at Wimbledon. If Williams defeats Rodionova, ranked No. 105, and wins a second-round match, she could face No. 2 seed Maria Sharapova, the Wimbledon runner-up, in the quarterfinals. “That will be a true test,” said Kim Hall Uliasz, the Bank of the West’s tournament director. “Maria is on top form. That will be a good gauge for Serena to see

where her game’s at right now. She’ll know what she’s got to so the rest of the summer.” Bartoli, the Williams third seed, believes Williams is close to reclaiming her dominance. “Even if she had only two tournaments, she was really starting to play well in Wimbledon,” said Bartoli, who defeated Williams 6-3, 7-6 (6) at Wimbledon. “I’m sure if she’s able to play throughout the summer, she will be a huge contender at the U.S. Open. “It’s really a matter of how many weeks of practice she can get and how many matches she can get. I’m sure she will be able to do well throughout this summer.” Williams’ injuries, which occurred four days after she won the 2010 Wimbledon title, led to surgery and foiled comeback attempts. When she was ready to practice again in February, she started having trouble breathing, went to a doctor and learned that she had blood clots in both lungs. She also came down with hematoma in her abdomen. “Obviously, (life’s) changed a lot,” Williams was quoted as saying in an Associated Press story last week. “Having a near-death experience (from the blood clots) is no fun. I’ve just always got to keep that in mind when I’m hard on myself as to why I don’t think I’m doing better. Once I can get that, I’ll just keep going.”

OPINION

Eagles’ camp opens Wednesday at Lehigh The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Fresh off a season in which they won 10 games, captured the NFC East title and found a new franchise quarterback in Michael Vick, the Eagles were more than pleased with Monday’s news that football is back. “In the end, both sides gave enough to get the deal done, and we can all go back to work feeling good about what was accomplished,” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. “A 10-year contract is unprecedented in professional sports. By the time this contract ends, the NFL and its players will have been able to play 33 uninterrupted seasons of football.” Philadelphia will hold training camp, as planned, at Lehigh University. The players will report on Wednesday. Camp will break at Lehigh on Aug. 17. “I’m happy that the NFL and its players can get back doing what they love to do,” Eagles coach Andy Reid said. “The coaches can get back to coaching. Players can get back to playing and we’re all pleased about that.” Philadelphia will play host to Baltimore in the preseason opener on Aug. 11 at Lincoln Financial Field. “Like our fans, we’ve been waiting for this situation to end since the day it started. Now the challenge is getting back to the games with as little disruption as possible,” Eagles president Joe Banner said. “Even during the lockout, we kept working through the summer knowing we had to be ready for this moment — to go from zero to 100 mph overnight.

“That includes giving our fans a worthwhile preseason experience. So we kept working at it, even when we weren’t sure we would have time for training camp at all. We owe thanks to many people at Lehigh and on our Eagles staff for making that possible.” As preparations continue for Lehigh, transactions will now take center stage, as the Eagles begin to ponder what the final roster might look like headed into the season opener at St. Louis on Sept. 11. Included in that, obviously, is the backup quarterback situation behind Vick. Will they trade Kevin Kolb? Will they acquire a veteran quarterback? “We have to be quick learners, and quick to act,” Banner said. “We’re studying the new contract hard, so we can make good football decisions fast. We want to be on top of the nuances of this new agreement so we can help our ballclub compete.” The decision to remain at Lehigh was a difficult one, as several other NFL teams, including the New York Jets and Giants, elected to cancel their college-based portions of camp to remain at their home facilities, given the time crunch. “As far as our team, we look forward to reconvening in the near future and we are looking forward to holding training camp once again on the campus of Lehigh,” Reid said. “We understand that we have a lot of work ahead of us in order to get ready for the season opener at St. Louis. “And I’m excited to get started on that as soon as we can.”

as instrumental in helping forge the deal. Kraft’s wife, Myra, died Wednesday after a battle with cancer. “A special thanks to Myra Kraft, who even in her weakest moment allowed Mr. Kraft to come and fight this out,” Saturday said. “Without him, this deal does not get done. ... He’s a man who helped us save football.” With that, Saturday wrapped Kraft in a hug — a gesture that symbolized how the lockout ended more than anyone’s words. Owners overwhelmingly approved a proposal to end the dispute on Thursday, but some unresolved issues needed to be reviewed to satisfy players. The sides worked through the weekend and wrapped up nearly every detail by about 3 a.m. Monday on a final pact that runs through the 2020 season and can’t be terminated before then. That’s significant because the old collective bargaining agreement contained an opt-out clause, and owners exercised it in 2008.

contract, covering remaining items such as player discipline, drug testing, disability programs and pensions. “I believe it’s important that we talk about the future of football as a partnership,” Smith said. Later, standing shoulder to shoulder with Goodell, Smith said: “If we don’t have a good relationship, it hurts the game and the business of football. I’m not sure any two people have ever come together in a more compressed, public, interesting time than Roger and I. I’m proud to say our relationship has grown.” In addition to Kraft, John Mara of the Giants and Jerry Richardson of the Panthers — all members of the owners’ labor committee — were present, too. “I’d like, on behalf of both sides, to apologize to the fans. For the last five, six months we’ve been talking about the business of football and not what goes on on the field and building the teams in each market,” Kraft said. “But the end result is we’ve been able to have an agreement that I think is going to allow this sport to flourish over the next decade.” Then, taking a verbal jab at the nearby White House and Congress, Kraft added: “I hope we gave a little lesson to the people in Washington, because the debt crisis is a lot easier to fix than this deal was.”

They approved the settlement deal Monday, after two unanimous NFLPA leadership votes: to recommend to the plaintiffs that they accept the settlement, then to recommend to all1,900 players that they re-establish the union. All players now will take a vote to re-certify the union — it was dissolved March 11, turning the NFLPA into a trade association — and then one more vote to approve the final CBA. That all needs to be wrapped up by Aug. 4 to make everything official, something everyone involved believes will happen without a hitch.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Texas’ TV network concerns the rest of Big 12 By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

DALLAS — All the eyes are still on Texas in the slimmeddown Big 12 Conference, though for some different reasons this time. The Longhorns are coming off their first losing season in 13 years under coach Mack Brown, who has new offensive and defensive coordinators and is still unsure who his quarterback will be. What is also being watched by other Big 12 teams is how much extra exposure, and potential advantage, Texas will have when its own 24-hour cable network debuts next month. “I’m sure people will watch that,” Texas A&M coach Mike

Sherman said Monday. “We’ll have half a million Aggies watching it and we’ll have the Big 12 watching it, and the advantage and disadvantage thereof.” Sherman was the first coach at the podium for Big 12 media days — half of the 10 teams appeared Monday; preseason league favorite Oklahoma is among the five teams today’s schedule. The first question Sherman was asked was about the possible impact of the Longhorn Network on high school and college recruiting. “Truthfully, I’m just focusing on what I’ve got to do and with my job, and let’s win our first game,” he said. “I’m sure you all can sort that one out yourselves.” Texas A&M athletic director Bill Byrne, who has long had con-

cerns about the Longhorn Network, said Monday that athletic directors and Big 12 staff will be meeting “within the next few weeks.” When there reports last week that Texas might show one of its conference games as well as football games on its subscriptionbased network, Byrne issued a statement that “our concerns were heightened further” and that questions remained even after Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe said that there would be no high school content on the network until conference members have a chance to consider all the issues. Byrne, just back from an Alaska vacation, said he had been advised that he “should play nice

and not say any more.” He said would do that — for now. NCAA presidents could also address such issues during a retreat with NCAA president Mark Emmert next month in Indianapolis. “It’s a lack of common sense there to think that the network, the university network, can have high school games,” Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds told The Associated Press last week that Longhorns officials were aware of the concerns among Texas rivals that the 20year, $300 million network deal struck with ESPN earlier this AP PHOTO year gives them a recruiting advantage and too much power Texas linebacker Keenan Robinson answers questions during NCAA college football Big 12 Media Days on Monday in Dallas. over the rest of the league.

TOUR DE FRANCE

2 0 1 2 O LY M P I C S

Wide-open race made for a classic

Programs helping the world’s children

PARIS — It was a Tour de France many hailed as a classic. There were crashes, dropouts, surprises and, above all, a new champion. With Cadel Evans becoming the first Australian to win cycling’s most prestigious race, the Tour de France had a completely new look this year. Lance Armstrong’s seven-year stranglehold over the Tour was a remarkable demonstration of strength and resolve, but the competition itself was not that engrossing. Alberto Contador then stepped up and won three titles in four years, with his third still in limbo after a positive drug test last year. This year, with defending champion Contador far from his best, the race was wide open. Despite the early departure of some pre-race favorites, seven key riders were in contention halfway through the final week. And that’s not counting Frenchman Thomas Voeckler, who led through the Pyrenees and most of the Alps. The rivalry between Luxembourg brothers Frank and Andy Schleck finally played out after it was cut short last year by a crash that forced Frank to quit. The brothers displayed nothing but devotion to each other. Frank seemed genuinely delighted at his younger sibling’s success. They embraced at the line seconds after Andy finished his time trial Saturday. Their second- and third-place finishes for Leopard-Trek proved a team doesn’t have to tear itself apart if it has more than one contender — though it might take the strength of family ties to make it work. Two Italians — Ivan Basso and Damiano Cunego — were in the hunt, though their climbing skills weren’t enough to counter their poor time trials. Contador was still dangerous, but he couldn’t make up the time he’d

lost at the beginning of the race. Another Spaniard, Olympic champion Samuel Sanchez, finished sixth and won the polkadot jersey for best climber. Amid it all, seemingly untouched by the chaos, was Evans. “A few people always believed in me. I always believed in me. And we did it!” the 34-year-old rider said after his triumphant entry into Paris on Sunday. Up every mountain, Evans was never more than one cycle length behind his rivals. With a small lead that he’d picked up in the early stages and a lot of strength in the time trials, he knew he didn’t need to attack to win. Still, when Andy Schleck broke away from the field on the climb of the Galibier pass on Thursday, some thought Evans’ BMC team made a critical mistake. But Evans remained calm. He went into the time trial needing to make up almost a minute on Schleck. He made up almost 21⁄2. “The real highlight of it all was the last three or four kilometers of the time trial,” Evans said. “The hardest part had been done until that point and coming into that finish I knew we were on the right track so that was just incredible. For once, the last four kilometers of a time trial wasn’t that hard.” The race for the green jersey, given to the best sprinter, was far more clear. Trying to counter the almost-untouchable speed of Britain’s Mark Cavendish, organizers introduced another major sprint in the middle of each stage. But Cavendish won the green jersey anyway despite trailing to the finish of every mountain stage. “The Tour de France for me is so far ahead of everything else,” said Cavendish, the winner of five stages this year who at age 26 is already fifth on the career list of stage winners. “I’ll keep coming back for as long as my legs can keep coming back, and I’ll keep trying to win

for as long as my legs can keep trying to win.” The first week of this race made for plenty of rough riding. Crashes undermined Contador’s chances and forced out Bradley Wiggins, Jurgen Van Den Broeck and Alexandre Vinokourov, who immediately announced his retirement. A rash move by a TV car sent rider Juan Antonio Flecha flying and catapulted Johnny Hoogerland into a barbed wire fence. He needed dozens of stitches but finished the stage — and the race — and held the polka-dot jersey for a time. The French went crazy for Voeckler, who expected to hold the yellow jersey for only a day or two but showed extraordinary strength to stay with Evans and the Schlecks through most of the mountain stages and finished fourth overall. Voeckler discovered the strength of French feeling for

him and his teammate Pierre Rolland — the best young rider — when he was cheered the whole way Saturday. “I felt that France was entirely behind us,” Voeckler said. “If we’ve given the public a little pleasure in these difficult times, so much the better.” The last French winner was Bernard Hinault in 1985, but the country finally has hopes for the future — if not with the 32-yearold Voeckler then with young riders such as Rolland and Jerome Coppel. In all, five French riders finished in the top 15. Another strong showing was made by Norway. Sprinter Thor Hushovd had looked to be past his best, but he outlasted younger riders and won two stage. Compatriot Edvald Boasson Hagen, 24 and riding in his first Tour, also won two stages, proving himself a sprinter, a climber and even a time trialer. He set himself up as a future contender.

NASCAR

Preacher races to forefront with revved-up invocation By JOE EDWARDS Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Baptist preacher has revved up a NASCAR crowd with his highpowered invocation before the Nationwide race in Nashville. Pastor Joe Nelms of the Family Baptist Church in Lebanon, Tenn., gave thanks Saturday night for the race cars, the race teams, the tires and “my smoking hot wife, Lisa.” He also thanked the Lord for his two children, Eli and Emma, “or as we like to call them, ‘The Little E’s.” In a booming voice, Nelms also invoked the Darrell Waltrip phrase the ex-driver uses at the start of televised races, “Boogity Boogity Boogity,” drawing cheers from the crowd. “I tried to spice it up a little,” Nelms said Monday.

Nelms, 35, pastor at “a small country church,” said he believed it was appropriate to have a little fun with the invocation. “I put in some driver lingo,” he said from Destin, Fla., where he was on vacation. “The Bible says laughter is like a medicine, and I wanted people to see that side of religion.” He drew from the stock carthemed movie “Talladega Nights,” which he has seen a couple of times. “It was the inspiration,” Nelms said. His wife of about 10 years was

home packing for vacation. Her reaction? “It floored her,” Nelms said. Replays of the invocation were posted on YouTube and he was deluged Monday with requests for interviews. He did at least 12 while his 8-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter frolicked on the Gulf Coast beach. “I had no idea it’d get this re-

action,” said Nelms, who’s been at his Lebanon church for three years and was a pastor in north Georgia for 11 years before that. Cliff Hawks, vice president of the speedway east of Nashville, said Nelms will definitely be invited back next year. “He’s great to work with, and fans really, really like him,” Hawks said.

LONDON — Far from London, the 2012 Olympics are helping to transform and save lives. From Bangladesh to Zambia, London’s international legacy program has invested $62 million in17 countries and hit its target a year early to involve 12 million children and young people in sports. Noor, an 18-year-old woman from Bangladesh, is one of them, receiving lessons to become a swimming teacher in a country where four children on average die every hour from drowning. Brought to London to be part of celebrations to mark a year until the Olympics, Noor, whose full name was not given, recounted how her training has already saved at least one life. “A girl about 5 years old was drowning, and her parents took her out of the water and tried to save her in a traditional way by putting some ashes in her mouth,” Noor said through a translator. “I gave it five minutes and said if nothing happens I will do it my way. I took

her and tried to implement some of the (resuscitation) techniques I had learnt from the program, pushing the chest, and after some time she began to breathe.” As a result of her training, Noor feels more empowered in her tiny village of Makura in Rangpur. “My father is a rickshaw puller and the only earning member of my family,” she said, while overlooking London’s 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium. “Through this I tried to prove that a girl can also be an active member of her family. These activities help me develop my leadership. “This helps me to speak up for other girls in my village, to make sure their voices are heard.” London’s Olympic team has already raised another $10 million from the public and private sector to invest in another three countries before the Olympics start next July. “This shows we can take the world’s greatest sporting event and use it for the benefit of other countries other than ourselves,” Britain’s Olympics Minister Hugh Robertson said.

Tennessee says Pearl was spared for reason

By BETH RUCKER AP Sports Writer

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee officials say they did not immediately fire former basketball coach Bruce Pearl after he revealed he lied to NCAA investigators because doing so would deter others from reporting misconduct. The university’s official response to the NCAA’s 12 allegations of violations shows Pearl continued to cover up wrongdoings though, even after his job was spared. The coach revealed on his own in July 2010 that he had lied the previous month about improperly hosting prospects at a Sept. 20, 2008, cookout at his home to NCAA officials investigating possible recruiting violations by him and his staff. Pearl’s contract was terminated on Sept. 9, and the university reduced his pay by $1.5 million over five years and im-

posed strict limitations on his ability to recruit. “In the view of the university’s central and athletics administrations, this was a punitive action against Pearl only slightly less severe than complete termination, which would have been the response had he not come forward on his own with the truth,” the document says. “It was believed that terminating Pearl’s employment might deter students and staff from reporting misconduct.” Pearl eventually was fired on March 21. The 190-page response, which also addresses allegations made by the Volunteers football staff, was first reported by The Knoxville News Sentinel and later released to other media Monday, two months after Tennessee sent it to the NCAA. Tennessee has also placed itself on a two-year probation.

Stocks slip on debt stall

Stocks fell Monday after Republican and Democratic leaders offered competing proposals to avoid a catastrophic default on the U.S. government’s debt. If an agreement is not reached by Aug. 2, stocks could fall the way they did during the 2008 financial crisis, analysts say. Many investors are reluctant to buy stocks because of concerns over the budget impasse in Washington. Trading volume, or the number of shares bought and sold on a given day, has fallen 22 percent in July on the New York Stock Exchange compared with the same month a year ago, according to FactSet.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — To help American carmakers stay in business, autoworkers grudgingly gave up pay raises and some benefits four years ago. Now that General Motors, Ford and Chrysler are making money again, workers want compensation for their sacrifice. Just how much they get is the central question hanging over contract talks that start this week between Detroit and one of the nation’s largest and most powerful unions. The negotiations, the first since Chrysler and GM took government aid and

emerged from bankruptcy, will set wages and benefits for 111,000 members of the United Auto Workers, including those at Ford, which avoided bankruptcy by taking out massive private loans. The UAW’s four-year contracts with the companies expire on Sept. 14. There’s more at stake than pay. After the industry’s brush with financial ruin in 2008 and 2009, both sides know how quickly Detroit’s sales and profitability could vanish. Sales are on pace to reach nearly13 million cars and trucks this year, better than the10 million in 2009, but still below the 17 million peak in 2005. Americans are worried about buying cars when

wages and the job market are weak. The workers and Detroit companies can’t leave themselves vulnerable to rivals. “Management’s not the enemy at this point,” said Jim Graham, a longtime local union president in Lordstown, Ohio, where workers make the Chevrolet Cruze car. “The enemy is the competition.” Even so, the talks won’t be easy. Chrysler, which is run by Italian automaker Fiat, wants to hold the line on wages and benefits, while GM and Ford want to cut labor costs even more. There’s friction inside the union, too. Many workers are eager to get a share of company profits and restore pay raises and some benefits given up.

Wealth gaps at new high

The wealth gaps between whites and minorities have grown to their widest levels in a quarter-century. The recession and uneven recovery have erased decades of minority gains, leaving whites on average with 20 times the net worth of blacks and 18 times that of Hispanics, according to an analysis of new Census data. The median wealth of white U.S. households in 2009 was $113,149, compared with $6,325 for Hispanics and $5,677 for blacks, according to the analysis released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center. Those ratios far exceed the low mark of 7 to 1 for both groups reached in 1995.

Airlines grab tax cash

Most U.S. airlines have raised fares to grab the benefit of lower federal taxes on airline tickets. Several federal taxes on airline tickets expired over the weekend after Congress failed to pass legislation to keep the Federal Aviation Administration running at full speed. Once the taxes expired, airlines began raising fares by an equal amount. On some tickets, the taxes can top 10 percent of the price. The government estimates that the expiring taxes total $200 million a week.

BlackBerry maker cuts jobs

Faced with tough competition and falling profits, BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. is cutting 2,000 jobs, about 10 percent of the company’s work force, as part of a cost-savings plan announced last month and is shuffling some senior executives. While RIM’s sale are still growing thanks to BlackBerry adoption overseas, U.S. consumers have moved on to phones with big touchscreens like Apple Inc.’s iPhone and various models that run Google’s Android operating system.

GE unit China bound

By RACHEL LAYNE Bloomberg News

BOSTON — General Electric’s health care unit, the world’s biggest maker of medical-imaging machines, said Monday it will move the headquarters for its more than 100-year-old X-ray business to China to tap emerging market growth. “A handful” of top managers will move to Beijing and there won’t be any job cuts, Anne LeGrand, vice president and general managerofX-rayforGEHealthcare,saidin an interview. The headquarters will move from Waukesha, Wis., amid a broader parent-company plan to invest about $2 billion across China, including opening six “customer innovation” and development centers.

The move follows the introduction earlier this year of GE Healthcare’s “Spring Wind” initiative to develop and distribute medical products and services in China, GE said in a statement. More than 20 percent of the X-ray units new products will be developed in China, LeGrand said. “We anticipate it’s going to be a growing modality,” LeGrand said, adding her division should have “double-digit” growth rates as the country converts to digital Xray technology. “When you look at a market like China, it’s primarily analog. So we feel this will also bring digital technology at an appropriate price-point.” GE Healthcare, also the world’s biggest maker of MRI and CT scanners, got about $1.1 billion of its $16.9 billion in sales from

Anthony Matrisciano, a Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania spokesman, said the plan has some similarities to COBRA but does not expire after 18 months. The varied tier levels could also make it more affordable for people who do not have medical issues but still want some insurance in case of an emergency. “We are adding the new levels to give members who lose their job and their BCNEPA PPO coverage more options for deductibles, which gives them more flexibility with their monthly premiums. For example, someone who chooses the new higher deductibles can potentially have a lower monthly premium … ,” Matrisciano said. In addition to the deductible changes requested by the company, it also seeks to raise the emergency room co-pay from $100 to $250. “This is because emergency care is often more costly than routine care,” Matrisciano said. The changes, if approved, will take effect Jan. 1, 2012.

GE unveils holographic disk technology, but you can’t buy it yet IT’S NOT QUITE time to toss the Bluray player out the window and scream in frustration, but don’t get too attached – General Electric has developed the first commercially practical holographic disc system. No, it doesn’t produce actual holographs, and it’s not in stores just yet, so you can put the credit card away. What it does do is store information — a lot of it — in a much more efficient way than DVD and Blu-ray discs. Your typical DVD can store about 5 gigabytes — they can push the technology up to about 20 gigs, but 5 (4.7 to be exact) is the standard. Enough to fit a full-length movie and some extras. Not much more. An average Blu-Ray disc, in comparison, can hold about 25 gigabytes — and

NICK DELORENZO TECH TALK they can push the technology into the 128GB range. The standard disc is enough to hold a 3D, HD movie and full surround soundtrack, some goodies, and still have plenty of space left. That’s a lot of storage. In the three years since I purchased my first Blu-ray burner I haven’t had a single instance where I’ve needed to fill a disc — in most cases I use it when I’m trying to carry huge files that won’t fit on a single DVD. In comparison, this new technology by GE can hold 500 gigabytes of information. That’s about what your average low-end hard drive can hold. Many people don’t use that much space in the entire time they own a computer. And

that’s just the prototype. They’re saying that soon this technology will hold a terabyte of information – that’s 17,000 hours of digital audio, ONLINE to give you a point of reference. To see video, So how do they do scan this QR code into your it? smartphone or Right now a DVD visit www.tiplayer, or even a Blumesleader.com ray player, uses a laser — the same way a record player uses a needle, to read extremely fine patterns recorded on the disc. Those patterns contain encoded data, such as a movie. It’s a flat surface — two dimensional, like a piece of paper. Blu-ray’s major breakthrough is that it uses a blue laser, which has a higher frequency and so can cram more data

into the same space. This new technology is three-dimensional. The data isn’t on the disc, like a Blu-ray or CD. The data is inside of it, stored in patterns and shapes. Each pattern represents a “slice” of the storage data, and the holographic disc can contain multiple “slices” of information. No word as to when this will be on the market, but they currently can read and write to the medium at the same speed as a Blu-ray disc, which was their criteria for being commercially viable — and they’ve been working on the technology for nearly eight years. Like I said, don’t get too attached to your new Blu-ray player ... it might end up in the basement with the Hi-Fi and the VCR soon enough.

Where’s the volume?

This month may be the slowest in the stock market in more than three years. Trading volume, or the number of shares bought and sold, is down because there are fewer big investors buying stocks. There were approximately 10,233 hedge funds in the world in the second quarter of 2008, before the financial crisis and stock market crash. By the end of June, there were 9,443, according to research firm HFR. Those who want to buy are holding back because they’re

worried about the job market, the European debt crisis and the budget impasse in Washington. If Congress and the White House don’t agree on budget cuts and raising the government’s borrowing limit, the U.S. is at risk of defaulting on its debt after Aug. 2. Daily volume on the New York Stock Exchange is down 22 percent so far in July compared with a year ago, according to data provider FactSet. About 3.7 billion shares have changed hands every day on average, down from 4.7 billion in July last year. If that

continues, July will have the lowest average daily volume since December 2007, says Patrick O’Shaughnessy, a research analyst at Raymond James. All this has led investors to avoid stocks. That hurts volume. Low volume is worrisome because it can mean bigger price swings. When there are few buyers, for example, someone trying to sell a stock may be forced to keep lowering the price in hopes that someone will want it – like a homeowner who can’t find a buyer for a house.

The very intense rainfall on Monday is fairly common around here during the summer months when excessive amounts of water vapor in the air occur near frontal boundaries. To help meteorologists predict the highest possible rainfall totals, computer guidance shows us “precipitable water” which is a value that indicates how much water can be condensed out of a column of air from the ground to thousands of feet high. On Monday those values ranged from 1” to 3”. Today those values are much less thanks to a drop in the dew point and with that a more comfortable feeling when outdoors.

Babysitting class set The Greater Hazleton Health Alliance will offer a “Safe Sitter” class from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Aug. 10 at Hazleton General Hospital, 700 E. Broad St., Hazleton. Cost is $40. The program, which is intended for boys and girls, ages 11-13, teaches young teens how to handle emergencies, basic lifesaving techniques and helpful tips to make them more confident caregivers. Safe Sitter students also receive information on child development, age appropriate activities, and business aspects of babysitting. To successfully complete the program, students must pass a practical and written test. Registration is required by Aug. 3 by contacting the GHHA Education Department at 501-4846. Team spots available The Northeastern Pennsylvania Affiliate for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and Scranton Running Company have openings in the 2011 Race for the Cure “Team Survivor” program. The program is open to breast cancer survivors who would like to train to run in this year’s Komen NEPA Race for the Cure, which is scheduled for Sept. 10 in Downtown Scranton. The Scranton Running Company provides participants with free running shoes, a Team Survivor racing T-shirt and a personalized running/training program with coaching. The “Team Survivor” program was created in 2010 by the Scranton Running Company as a way to encourage women who are diagnosed with breast cancer to continue improving their overall health and well-being. This year, The Scranton Running Company has partnered with Penn Security Bank to expand the program to field up to 50 area breast cancer survivors. For more information or to sign up, contact R.J. Stiltenpole at 9550921 or Dolly Woody at 969-6072. Valet parking expanded Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center has introduced two new valet parking locations for patients and visitors.

Thermography doesn’t replace mammogram

Beverly Turner says she contracted Lyme disease recently and talks about being treated for it.

What makes Lyme disease tick? By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

njoy outdoor summer activities, but be aware of Lyme disease and the ticks that cause it. This is the message two Back Mountain residents want to spread. Joseph Wallace, 74, Shavertown, used to hunt and fish on a regular basis, said his wife Sharon. But these days, he does not leave the house often. Eight years ago, Wallace became the host to an infected female deer tick. He has been fighting Lyme disease ever since. Sharon said they did not notice a red, bull’s-eye rash, a common result of a tick bite. Initially, her husband’s symptoms were misdiagnosed. Today, he takes antibiotics and receives frequent injections of vitamin B-12. Beverly Turner of Dallas, an avid gardener who loves walking with her dogs

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST TICK BITES • Wear long sleeves, long pants tucked into socks, light-colored clothing and use tick repellants • Use repellants with DEET • A chemical called permethrin can be used on clothing or equipment combined with a repellant

Early this summer, she began to notice the same symptoms and found the common bull’s-eye rash. Right away she went to her doctor and was again treated for Lyme disease for three weeks. Although small, the female deer tick’s bite can pack quite a punch if in- See TICKS, Page 4C

How extreme heat affects the body By JULIE DEARDORFF Chicago Tribune

The moment you step into oppressive heat, the body senses life-threatening danger and starts fighting to keep things cool. The heart beats faster as it increases the flow of blood to the skin, trying to keep critical internal organs from overheating. But if your core temperature continues to rise, drastic measures kick in. Sweat starts dripping — then pouring — from your glands so that evaporation can cool the body. But if humidity leaves the sweat with no place to go and it

simply drips off the skin, “your internal temperature will skyrocket,” said Matthew Ganio, a researcher at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital’s Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine. “Eventually it could lead to organ damage and death.” Heat waves do more than make us cross and sluggish. Searing temperatures kill more people in the U.S. than hurricanes, lightning, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes combined. People over the age of 60 are most vulnerable to suffocating,

fected with bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi, a known agent of the tickborne illness. Symptoms can be flulike and include headaches, fever and fatigue. According to the Centers for Disease Control, if left untreated the disease can spread to the heart, nervous system and joints. Turner said when she first experienced severe headaches and diarrhea she thought she had food poisoning. “The first time I had Lyme disease, it was about the time the Salmonella egg contamination was going on,” she said. “I first thought I ate a bad egg.” When she went to the doctor, he found the tick bite on her hand. This year, she thought she was bitten by a mosquito on her side. She treated

hot conditions. But if you’re not fit, if you’re overweight, or if you suffer from heart disease, diabetes or respiratory problems, you’re also at high risk because these conditions can hamper the body’s ability to regulate its core temperatures in extreme heat. Fatal heatstroke occurs 3.5 times more frequently in overweight or obese adults than those of average body weight, according to research published last year in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Those living with diabetes also have significantly higher

Q: I would like to know if you recommend breast thermography instead of getting a traditional mammogram? — S.P., Orlando, Fla. A: Thermography is a new technique that some tout as a gentler and safer alternative to digital or traditional mammography. There’s no radiation because it uses infrared technology to produce an image of the breasts that shows the patterns of heat and blood flow in the tissue. While proponents of breast thermography have made claims that it can replace traditional mammography as a screening tool for breast cancer, the experts from the FDA, the American College of Radiology and the Society for Breast Imaging do not support thermography as a stand-alone replacement for mammography. It does have a role as an adjunctive imaging tool — just like breast ultrasounds are. The FDA has sent warning letters to Meditherm, health columnist Dr. Mercola and Central Coast Thermography in California to stop making misleading claims about thermography. Here’s more background on why thermography cannot replace mammograms: http://www.sbi-online.org/displaycommon.cfm?an1&subarticlenbr83 Q: Five years ago, I had a routine colonoscopy where a small polyp was removed. My family doctor is advising me to have a follow-up colonoscopy now, but the gastroenterologist’s office says that I don’t need another one for five years. Who should I believe? — C.E., Allentown A: Based upon the recommendation from your gastroenterologist, I’m assuming that the polyp removed was “hyperplastic.” That means it was a completely benign growth of tissue, and would not have transformed into cancer if left alone to grow. In that situation, your risk of colon cancer is the same as that of the general population. The current screening guidelines recommend a routine colonoscopy every 10 years beginning at age 50 in folks of average risk. Colon cancer does not occur rapidly; transformation from a precancerous polyp to cancer takes 10 to 15 years. If the polyp had been precancerous, or labeled an “adenoma,” a follow-up colonoscopy would be advisable in five years as long as its size was less than 1 cm in length. This guideline also applies if a second small pre-cancerous colon polyp was removed at that time. If no more adenoma polyps were found on repeat colonoscopy, the next (third) colonoscopy could be scheduled 10 years later. Regardless of size, if three or more pre-cancerous polyps are identified, a surveillance colonoscopy is needed in three years. If that follow-up colonoscopy were to be normal, that person would be considered of average colon cancer risk and could wait 10 years until their next colonoscopy.

When the headaches started a few days later, she inspected the site of the bite and found the rash. “I felt it bite, and thought it was just a mosquito or spider,” Turner said. Treatments for the disease do have several side affects. Sharon Wallace said her husband is weak and experiences dizziness, fatigue, and loss of appetite. “He has lost about 30 pounds,” she said. Turner said the antibiotic Doxycycline made her skin very sensitive to the sun; She also experienced a loss of appetite, fatigue and unpleasant moods. “I was so sensitive to the sun that I had gotten a sunburn on my hands from driving,” Turner said. Jacquelyn A. Hakim, an entomologist and director of the Monroe County Vector Control in Stroudsburg, said female deer ticks do not begin their life cycle with the bacteria in their systems. It is transmitted to them when they feed on an infected mouse. There are four different types of ticks in Northeastern Pennsylvania, but the female deer tick is the only one that can transmit Lyme disease to humans, dogs and horses, she said. Hakim stresses not all deer ticks carry the disease. After being outside, Hakim, Turner and Wallace agree that everyone should carefully inspect their body and dogs for signs. Ticks can be very small if they are not engorged with

18360. In an email, Hakim said the center cannot confirm if a tick is carrying Lyme disease, but can identify its type and verify the possibility of that someone might contract the disease. To protect against tick bites, the Monroe County Vector Control recommends wearing long sleeves, long pants tucked into socks, light-colored clothing and the use of tick repellants. A repellant with DEET can work on bare skin, Hakim said, but a chemical called permethrin can be used on clothing or equipment. The center also advises residents to reduce the number of spots where mice live by removing brush, leaves and tall grasses around homes and gardens. Cotton balls sprayed with permethrin can be placed in a tube such as a PVC pipe and placed near a mouse habitat. The mice will take the cotton to their nests and kill ticks living there. Remove plants and favored foods of deer to discourage them from entering yards. Treating yards with pesticides can kill ticks. For dog owners, Turner says not to rely on tick treatments but to check pets regularly. “The dogs can carry the tick into the home before it falls off,” she said. Hakim said she cannot say whether the number of Lyme disease cases are on the rise, but did say, “people are becoming more aware of ticks and what to look for.”

This coulddecreasetheamountofblood brought to the skin’s surface to dissipateheat,accordingtothereview. Some evidence also shows people with diabetes may have a reduced ability to sweat. Inaheatwave,stressontheheart can be exacerbated by dehydration as the body’s core temperature rises. “To get the blood flow out to the skin, our cardiovascular system has to work hard,” said Lacy Holowatz, a professor of kinesiology at Penn State University who researches thermoregulation, or the body’s ability to regulate its temperature. “For every one-degree Celsius rise in core temperature, a typical person’s heartbeat goes up 30 beats per minute,” she said. “So heat is a stress on the cardiovascular system, even without exercise.” The older you are, the harder your cardiovascular system has to work to get the blood to the surface of the skin. Though heat stress can be dangerous for everyone, “most people who have problems with heat have a cardiovascular issue, including heart attack and stroke,” said Holowatz. Children under age 2, meanwhile, don’t have fully developed systems to regulate body temperature. Heat exhaustion, the mildest form of heat-related illness, can de-

Air conditioning — which can be found in public buildings — is the best way to protect yourself against heat-related illness and death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But if you are going to exert yourselfoutside—whetherit’sgardening or running — it’s safer to do it before the sun rises and before it gets too hot. Other advice includes staying hydrated and going more slowly and for shorter periods than usual.

Are You Suffering With Pain,Tingling, or Numbness in Your Feet or Ankles?

Do what Ed Labatch did…He Called The Neuropathy Center! “I had very little feeling in my legs and feet that I couldn’t even drive. After treatment at the Neuropathy Center I can not only drive again but enjoy life like I used to… without pain.” I had neuropathy in my legs and had very little feeling to the point that I couldn’t even drive my car. I suffered for about three years. I couldn’t stand very long or do many of the regular activities that I loved to do with my wife. I found that I sat around a lot. After meeting with the professional staff at the Neuropathy Center I knew that there was hope for me. After just my second treatment I felt life in my legs again. I couldn’t believe it! My experience has been terriﬁc! Now my wife Betty and I can continue to enjoy our active life doing the things we love including Polka dancing!! I would highly recommend anyone who is suffering from Neuropathy pain to make an appointment today.Their caring staff were never to busy to answer any & all of my questions… in fact we always look forward to our visit.

Unhappy woman ponders how to smile for her new Facebook friends Dear Abby: I reluctantly signed onto Facebook at the urging of my siblings. The problem is, I am now receiving many replies from people I knew back in college and elsewhere saying how glad they are they have found me, how much they have missed me, and that they would like to catch up. It made me remember that I was very well-liked then, and how when I graduated from college with honors people said I had a bright future. But now I am nowhere near what I used to be when those people knew me. My life has not been very productive or happy since I moved from the East Coast to California.

DEAR ABBY

ADVICE I am married to a wonderful man. We have no children, and I have had only sporadic employment over the past few years due to treatment for depression and alcoholism. Most of those who have written tell me about their children, grandchildren and the career progress they have made in their lives. I can’t tell them any of that about myself. Please don’t tell me to get counseling. I am. And don’t tell me to go to AA meetings. I do. And don’t tell me to take medication, because I’m doing that. Just tell me what do I write to all those old friends who seem to have

Dear Unsure: Crafting upbeat prose can be difficult when someone is as depressed as you appear to be. But you are getting the help you need and working to pull yourself out of it, and for that I applaud you. Before composing your Facebook entry, take stock of the positive things you have going for you and make a list. You are married to a wonderful man, you haven’t had to work over the past few years, but it hasn’t caused serious economic hardship — although you wouldn’t mind re-entering the workforce at some point. If you volunteer in the community, have read an amusing or uplifting poem,

mention that, too. In other words, “spin.” That’s what everyone else on social media does, so don’t feel guilty about it. Dear Abby: I have been dating my boyfriend, “Mark,” for five years and we have talked about marriage, though we are not officially engaged. For sentimental and financial reasons, I would like to wear my deceased grandmother’s engagement ring. I worry that it may appear presumptuous if I were to ask my father for the ring, especially because I’m technically not engaged yet. I’m nervous that Mark might go ahead and buy me a ring in the meantime if Dad hasn’t already offered him the ring. Then I wouldn’t have the chance to honor my grandmother’s

memory. How would you suggest I let my wishes be known? — Jittery Future Bride in Boston Dear Jittery: Let your wishes be known by telling your boyfriend, “Mark, it has always been my dream to wear my grandmother’s engagement ring.” That will let him know he won’t have to buy one for you. But do not approach your father asking for the ring until you ARE “technically” engaged.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may have so much deskwork to do that exercising your body seems like something that could only happen in your fantasy life. And until you change your priorities, that may be the case. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The people in your environment now may not be related, but they sure act as though they are. They fight and boss each other around like siblings. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Many people witness the same event, and each one will remember it differently. You are paying close attention to the nuances of human interaction, so your version will be the most accurate recollection. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes you’re happier observing the goings on instead of participating in them. Both roles are necessary and useful, so go with what you feel. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll encounter someone who wants to stand over your shoulder and comment on everything you do. If you can get past his or her annoying ways, you will find that this person has valid input. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have stories to tell about the memorable events of the past four months. You’ll be around people who will benefit from hearing your retelling of recent history. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re a master at conflict resolution — in theory. It’s easy to see what others need to do in order to get along. Apply the same objectivity to your own scene, and you’ll have the ticket to happiness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in the mood to do an inventory of your material possessions. The mood strikes because you’re getting ready to change things — to let go of the old and acquire something new. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Many people never dream of far-off places, preferring to stick close to all that is known of the world. You are not like “many people.” No matter what you know of the world, you yearn to know more. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a talent for managing a large group. You might even be in charge of feeding a crowd in the near future, and you will alleviate future stress by getting a lot of the planning done now. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Delving into the far reaches of your material possessions will reconnect you with your past. There’s so much memorabilia in your closet, garage or storage area that you could make a museum out of it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You strive to create an atmosphere of ease around you. You are very perceptive now, too, so you’ll notice when someone is uncomfortable, and you’ll try to help. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 26). Loved ones make you proud as they reflect your values and credit you for their victories. January starts a positive turn of events in your love life. You’ll be influenced and helped by a powerful man in November. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 2, 50, 21 and 15.

Missouri News

Given the fact that Crawford County Coroner Paul Hutson is owed more than $1,000 in back mileage, isn’t provided office space, can’t drive his county provided vehicle full time as he needs to, doesn’t get any county health insurance and only makes $1.71 per hour, why on earth would he continue to do that job? Everybody knows why. It’s good for his funeral home business.

Until we hold Public Officials in the Coroner’s Office accountable and prohibit them from 1. Soliciting Funeral Arrangements 2. Discussing Funeral Arrangements 3. Accepting Funeral Arrangements while engaged in the public trust, in an inherent conflict with one’s private interests, we will NEVER have an ethical foundation to build the TRUST we deserve. To promote ones self interest with people at their most vulnerable time (not with a sales pitch, but perhaps a hug when needed most, a gentle reminder that they can handle their funeral needs or to discuss funeral/cemetery issues, while acting in the capacity of LUZERNE COUNTY CORONER/DEPUTY CORONER) is unethical and inappropriate.
