Thanks to a lucky
nd, a pair of genu-

ine treasures from
Americas Civil War
both connected with the
Wyoming Valley will
again be seen by the
public.
Two swords once
owned by U.S. Army
Col. Edmund F. Dana, of
Wilkes-Barre, will go on
exhibit in Gettysburg.
The occasion will be the
40th Annual Civil War
Collectors Show today
through Sunday, preced-
ing the famous battle-
elds 150th anniversary
events next month.
From where did the
weapons come?
They were found
in Pittsburgh, said
Charles Petrillo, a
Luzerne County native
who now owns them.
The story is that a roof-
er was doing a roof job
and noticed the swords
and called a friend who
was a collector.
Soon after, Petrillo
bought them from the
dealer whod acquired
them, paying what he
would only call a pretty
penny.
Petrillo, a dentist
and Civil War memo-
rabilia collector in the
Philadelphia area, said
that when found they
were in the possession
of a very different part
of the (Dana) family,
and hes proud to be just

Heavy rain on Thursday night resulted in
flash flooding that left people stranded in
their vehicles, washed out roads and caused
other problems with which emergency work-
ers throughout Luzerne County had to con-
tend.
The countys Emergency Management
Agency executive director, Steve Bekanich,
said significant rainfall was seen across the
county, with several roadways left impass-
able because water runoff was covering
them. Several roads were washed out in the
Back Mountain area, he said.
A Luzerne County 911 supervisor said the
agency was inundated with calls and busy
dispatching emergency workers to rescues.
Emergency crews responded around
9:30p.m. to the Sherman Hills housing com-
plex in Wilkes-Barre, where Building 308
was taking on water through the roof and

WILKES-BARRE A
ruling by a Luzerne County
judge Thursday might put 25
people out of a job, an attor-
ney representing a local bus
company said.
Judge Michael Vough ruled
the Emanuel Bus Line did
not present enough proof
it would suffer irreparable
harm after the Dallas School
District voted to award a con-
tract to another bus company.
There is a strong pos-
sibility my client will shut
down and be put out of busi-
ness, said attorney Jonathan
Comitz, who represents the
Emanuel Bus Line. A family-
owned business now has to
shut down, and 25 people will
lose their jobs. Its disappoint-
ing that the school district
chose to go down this path.
Emanuel Bus Line led a
preliminary injunction two
weeks ago after the school
board sought competitive
bids for bus service. In the l-
ing, Emanuel sought to have
a contract awarded to them.
The board received one
from Emanuel and another
from G. Davis, Inc. of Pike
County, which offered a con-
tract at $83,000 less than
Emanuel. The public com-
plained, and the board agreed
to let both sides offer new
proposals.
Only Emanuel did, and dis-
trict Business Manager Grant
Palfey determined G. Davis
was still about $7,600 lower.
The board voted a second
time to hire G. Davis.
On June 20, Jeff Emanuel
testied before Vough he
would have to close his busi-
ness if he lost the contract.
Emanuel said in court he
never sought work with other
districts because he didnt
want to put some other bus
company out of work.
Ill advise my client of all
the options they have avail-
able to them, Comitz said.
Were not ruling out taking
further steps to protect our
clients interest.
Those steps, Comitz said,
could include an appeal or a
civil action requesting mon-
etary damages.
I think the judge came to
the right decision, attorney
Howard Levinson said, who
represented the district in
the injunction. Our evidence
showed clearly that the school
board carefully considered G.
Davis Inc and Emanuel it
was a several-month process.
(The school district) made a
judgment in good faith that
was in the best interest of

W-B barbershop alleged
hub of drug trafcking
WILKES-BARRE Undercover
drug agents believe Ramon Colon was
providing more than haircuts from
The Master Barber Shop on Hazle
Avenue.
Billed as the The Best Cut in
Town, the barbershop that opened
within the last year was the hub of a
major cocaine and marijuana trafck-
ing organization, said state Deputy
Attorney General Tim Doherty.
Colon, 26, and his wife, Alexandra
Mateo, 21, of Mayower Crossing,
Wilkes-Barre, were described by
Doherty as the alleged ring leaders
that peddled hundreds of pounds of
marijuana and several kilos of cocaine
from New York City to Luzerne
County for the last eight months.
About 15 drug agents armed with
assault ries and wearing bulletproof
armor served search warrants early
Thursday morning at the barber-
shop and across the street at Idleys
Furniture Store. The apartment
of Colon and Mateo at Mayower
Crossing on South Empire Street
was searched, as was a residence on
Coplay Place in Mountain Top.
The agents were joined by city
police, Kingston police and Luzerne
County detectives in the searches.
In all, ve people were arraigned
by District Judge Paul Roberts of
Kingston on drug trafcking charges.
Ongoing investigation
Doherty said he was only permitted
to tell the news media that the investi-
gation is ongoing.
In court, Doherty told Roberts the
investigation targeted a major nar-
cotic organization that imported and
distributed large amounts of cocaine
and marijuana for the last eight
months.
One of those arrested, Freddy
Reyes, 45, of Coplay Place, said
through an interpreter he is employed
at the furniture store. He denied sell-
ing any illicit drugs despite undercov-
er agents recording of him exchang-
ing money for marijuana from a man
driving a vehicle with a Florida license
plate in the Arena Hub parking lot in
Wilkes-Barre Township, according to
the criminal complaint.
Nothing he says is true, Reyes
said. I was not part of this organiza-
tion in trafcking drugs.
Colon, Mateo, Reyes, David Castro,
38, of Hayes Street, Hazleton, and
David Hernandez, 24, of Wilkes-
Barre, were charged with delivery of
a controlled substance, corrupt orga-
nizations, criminal conspiracy and
criminal use of communication facil-
ity. They were all jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for lack
of $1 million bail each.
Details of the investigation are list-
ed in a 141-page criminal complaint
led against the ve people.
Undercover drug agents recorded
thousands of phone calls and text
messages for the last eight months.
Communications between those alleg-
edly involved in the trafcking ring
picked up in April and May.
Doherty said in court Colon and
Mateo frequently traveled to New
York City to pick up cocaine and
marijuana for distribution throughout
Luzerne County, notably Plymouth,

Council gives Brdaric
hotel demo contract
WILKES-BARRE - City council Thursday
awarded the Hotel Sterling demolition contract
to low bidder Brdaric Excavating, but work
wont begin for about another month while the
contractor completes the approval process.
Brdaric, of Luzerne, which bid $419,000 for
the job, still has to sign the contract, get its
bonding in order and receive a notice to pro-
ceed.
There are quite a few things that have to be
accomplished, said City Administrator Marie
McCormick at the end of the special meeting to
award the contract.
Once given the go-ahead by the city,
Brdaric must give the state Department of
Environmental Protection 10 days notice that
work will began.
He (Brdaric) has 60 days to get it down, but
he will not get that for 15 to 20 days, 25 days
until everythings in and were ready to go, she
explained.
Im estimating that he would begin at the
end of July, she said.
McCormick acknowledged that the city is

HARRISBURG The House
Transportation Committee on Thursday
approved a plan to boost transportation
funding by about $2 billion a year within
ve years by increasing the wholesale tax
on motor fuels and tapping a grab bag of
other new taxes, fees and nes.
The proposal could face more changes
before a compromise can be negotiated with
the Senate with only three days left in the
legislative session.
Supporters said the House committee
proposal would allow the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation to expand
work on overdue highway and bridge proj-
ects while bolstering state funding for mass
transportation and setting aside additional
money for rail, ports, aviation, bicyclists
and pedestrians.
It would be the rst major increase in
transportation funding in 16 years, they
said, and would give Pennsylvania one of
the nations highest fuel taxes.
This is something that has to be done,
said Rep. Dick Hess, R-Bedford, the com-
mittee chairman.
Some lawmakers have pushed for more
money in the bill, while some conservatives
have argued for less.
Theres too much at stake to play politi-
cal games, said Rep. Michael McGeehan,
of Philadelphia, the ranking Democrat on
the panel, who voted for the proposal.
The bill is scheduled for oor debate
Saturday, spokesmen for both parties said.
The legislative session is expected to end
Sunday, the last day of the states scal year.
If the House approves a plan, lawmakers
will have to reconcile differences between it
and a Senate proposal that would raise $2.5
billion a year by increasing the oil company
franchise tax more quickly and increasing
fees on vehicle registration, drivers licenses
and trafc violations.
Both proposals are more costly than the
$1.8billionplanGov. TomCorbett advanced
in February. The Republican ran on a no-
new-taxes pledge in 2010 but has called for
removing the $1.25-a-gallon
cap on the oil company fran-
chise tax, which would extend
the tax to the full wholesale
price and generate substantial
new revenue.
The Department of
Transportation is spending $5.3 billion this
year on highways, bridges and mass transit
systems.
Transportation Secretary Barry Schoch,
who elded questions during the commit-
tees discussion leading up to the 16-9 vote,
said the governor was pleased by the bipar-
tisan support for both legislative proposals.
He expects now to see a dialogue
between the House and Senate and get this
to his desk, Schoch said.
The House committees proposal relies
mainly on phasing in an increase in the
wholesale fuel tax over ve years. But it
also calls for higher levies on aviation jet
fuel, tire purchases and leased vehicles and
would grant new authority for municipali-
ties to increase certain local taxes to help
nance public transportation.
The House plan also would reduce the
annual $450 million transfer to PennDOT
that thePennsylvaniaTurnpikeCommission
is required to make by $200 million a year
but require payments of $250 million for
mass transit to continue for eight years.
Corbett has hedged on the subject of how
his support for increasing the wholesale fuel
tax squares with his campaign promise not
to raise taxes.
When Corbett rst proposed his trans-
portation plan in February, he noted it was
not a newtax and said he was not seeking
to increase the tax rate. He also called for
reducing the at tax paid at the pump by
2 cents a gallon, from 12 cents to 10 cents.

Special election landmark decision
Sheena Delazio
Editors note: Due to
a production error, only
part of this story ran in
Thursdays Times Leader.
WILKES-BARRE
The ruling by two judges
ordering a special primary
election for two neighbor-
ing counties after an error
was made by the Luzerne
County Election Bureau
is something that has
never happened before in
Pennsylvania.
And it will cost the
county thousands of dol-
lars.
This is a landmark
decision and it will help
future courts navigate
through election con-
cerns, attorney Bill
Vinsko said of Tuesdays
ruling. Vinsko led a peti-
tion earlier this month on
behalf of Hazleton Area
School District candi-
date Carmella Yenkevich,
requesting a new election
in Schuylkill and Carbon
counties after Luzerne
County failed to notify
them a candidate had
withdrawn from the race.
Vinsko said he and other
attorneys, including Chief
County Solicitor David
Pedri, researched the mat-
ter extensively, nding
that this instance is the
rst in Luzerne County
history that an election
has been overturned, and
a rst in Pennsylvania for
a multi-county election to
be overturned.
Vinsko said Wednesday
he, Yenkevich, and the
24 other petitioners for
whom he led the request
are pleased with Judges
Thomas Burke andMichael
Voughs ruling Tuesday,
ordering new elections
counties for Hazleton Area
school director.
The judges on
Wednesday issued an
amended order, slating the
special election to be held
by July 26.
Cost: from $2,300-$10,000
The cost must be paid
by Luzerne County, the
judges ruled, which Pedri
said could be $2,300 if
they choose the mailed
ballot option for those
who voted in the pri-
mary. If they send ballots
to all registered voters
counties within the school
district, Pedri said, the
cost could be close to
$10,000.
Pedri said he might
suggest that mailed bal-
lots be sent to those
voters who cast bal-
lots in May, but that he
and Election Director
Marissa Crispell-Barber
will consider all options.
Were going to be in
contact with Carbon
and Schuylkill counties
to make sure (ballots)
are handled appropri-
ately and that they are on
board with everything,
he said.
Pedri said Burke and
Vough have given the
county leeway in which to
conduct the special elec-
tion, and that after speak-
ing with Crispell-Barber,
the county election bureau
would simply move for-
ward with an agreed upon
plan.
Once the election is
complete, Schuylkill and
Carbon counties will
assist Luzerne County in
a vote count and the new
results from the two coun-
ties will be added to the
existing Luzerne County
numbers.
Candidate raises concerns
Jared ODonnell, a
Hazleton Area School
Board candidate who
spoke at a hearing last
week regarding the peti-
tion, said Wednesday he
just hopes a special elec-
tion will be held fairly and
in a democratic manner.
My concern now is mak-
ing sure this process is
done in way that is fair to
every single candidate,
he said.
ODonnell said he
doesnt see the mailed bal-
lot method as a feasible
one, and that it cannot be
guaranteed that those who
cast ballots previously will
get their ballot, or even
vote again. Theres a lot
of problems, he said.
Absentee ballots are
meant for those who are
overseas, out of the area or
who are physically unable
to go out and vote.
ODonnell said he, and
likely other candidates,
will be closely watching
the process and special
election.
Likewise, Vinsko said
he and Yenkevich and 24
other petitioners also will
monitor the special elec-
tion.
We have faith in the
election board and Pedri
that they are going to
do the right thing,
said Vinsko. Luzerne
County did the right
thing here and that can-
not go unnoticed.

Bureau believed to be a frst for state

Swoyersville councilmen spar over crime stats at meeting
Geri Gibbons
Swoyersville borough council President
Ron Alunni and council member Chris
Concert engaged in a heated exchange follow-
ing the adjournment of a special meeting on
Wednesday night.
Alunni questioned Concerts recent posting
on Facebook suggesting that the crime rate in
the borough was through the roof.
Concert cited several examples of recent
incidents, including a break-in at his home.
Alunni countered, saying any increase in the
crime rate was not reected in police records.
Council member Debbie Layaou said her
residence had also been illegally entered, and
that she had increased concern about crime in
the borough.
Alunni also told Concert: Dont run for
mayor, it will never happen.
The special meeting preceding the exchange
conrmed the appointment of David Latoski
as police chief at a annual salary of about
$48,000.
The next meeting of Swoyersville council
will take place on 6:30. p.m. Monday.

DUBOIS Heavy rains and powerful winds
brought ash ooding, road closures, downed
trees and tornado watches across much of
Pennsylvania as a wild thunderstorm traveled
eastward on Thursday.
Among the hardest hit were DuBois and
other parts of west-central Pennsylvania,
after several inches of rain Thursday after-
noon followed two days of storms. Ofcials
warned of possible tornadoes in south-central
Pennsylvania and funnel clouds were spotted
in at least two counties in central Pennsylvania.
Jefferson and Cleareld counties each
declared disaster emergencies. The
Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency
said all roads into DuBois in Cleareld County,
about 100 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, were
closed due to the high waters.
As of 8:30 p.m., PPL Electric Utilities report-
ed about 2,400 customers without power, First
Energy reported about 2,200 outages and
PECO estimated about 1,400 customers were
in the dark.
People from 20 to 30 homes in Cleareld
County needed rescue because of rst-oor
ooding, emergency ofcials said. Some areas
received at least six inches of rain from the
storm, said Elyse Colbert, a meteorologist
with the National Weather Service in State
College.
Just a mess. An utter, complete mess,
said Edward Tate, owner of Luigis Ristorante
in downtown DuBois. He called it the worst
ooding he had seen in his 15 years in the area.
The restaurant was unaffected and remained
open because it was on higher ground, though
Tate said other businesses nearby may had
have up to 5 feet of water. He rushed home to
help a neighbor quickly clean up after ooding
damaged a newly-renovated basement.
One shelter in DuBois had about 20 people,
and the American Red Cross set up two other
shelters in the area, executive director Jason
Bange said.
This is pretty good sized-ooding in the
area. A lot of people are affected, Bange said.
Lamar Puyda watched from his porch in
DuBois as some of his neighbors received help
from emergency responders.
Scary, because theyve never had to be res-
cued before, Puyda told WJAC-TV from his
porch. Ive never seen it this bad.
Sandy Lick Creek and the Tannery Dam
overowed, closing some roads in the area.
WJAC showed video of at least one person
being rescued by boat.
Tate praised area reghters for their quick
work in the tight-knit community.
That whole stretch down there along Main
Street was signicantly affected by this, he
said. The remen did an amazing job.

Spy program gathered Americans Internet records
WASHINGTON
The Obama adminis-
tration gathered U.S.
citizens Internet data
until 2011, continuing a
spying program started
under President George
W. Bush that revealed
whom Americans
exchanged emails with
and the Internet Protocol
address of their comput-
er, documents disclosed
Thursday show.
The National Security
Agency ended the program
that collected email logs
and timing, but not con-
tent, in 2011 because it
decided it didnt effectively
stop terrorist plots, accord-
ing to the NSAs director,
Gen. Keith Alexander, who
also heads the U.S. Cyber
Command. He said all data
was purged in 2011.
Britains Guardian
newspaper on Thursday
released documents
detailing the collection,
though the program was
also described earlier this
month by The Washington
Post.
The latest revelation fol-
lows previous leaks from

Have you heard buzz on
honey bees woes?
The North Branch Land Trust is offering members
and their guests the opportunity to see and learn
about honey bees when professional beekeeper Kevin
Baker presents an Introduction to
Bees workshop at 1 p.m. July 13 on
its Howland Preserve, ve miles
west of Tunkhannock in Wyoming
County.
Baker will discuss the business of
beekeeping, the decline of honey-
bees and why they are so important
to the ecosystem. He will explain
and demonstrate all the equipment
necessary for keeping honeybees,
then lead a walk to the apiary to

HUGHESTOWN
Councilwoman again
seeks panel reduction
A Hughestown councilwoman has led a second
petition in Luzerne County Court requesting the
number of borough council members be reduced from
seven to ve.
Marie Griglock led her second petition this
week after the rst was denied by county Judge
Michael Vough, who cited procedural errors made in
Griglocks rst petition.
Griglock previously secured 83 signatures from
registered voters in support of the move. Her petition
says the downsizing would provide cost savings and
ensure a more efcient government without affecting
the quality of representation of the community.
Griglocks new petition shows she adequately pub-
lished an advertisement of her intent and provided an
updated 2010 U.S. Census population of 1,392.
A hearing has been scheduled for a judge to hear
arguments before making a ruling.

Senate committee recommends Stevens for Supreme Court
Sheena Delazio
HARRISBURG The
Senate Judiciary Committee
has voted unanimously to rec-
ommend the confirmation of
Superior Court Judge Correale
Stevens to a vacant seat on the
state Supreme Court.
Next, the full Senate will
consider the nomination of
the former Luzerne County
district attorney and county
judge.
Earlier this month, Gov.
Tom Corbett chose Stevens,
who serves as president judge
of the state Superior Court, to
fill a vacancy on the Supreme
Court left by the resignation
of Joan Orie Melvin.
Stevens, of Sugarloaf
Township, has served as
president judge of the state
Superior Court since 2011
and has been a member of that
court since 1998.
A familiar face in state poli-
tics and government, Stevens,
66, has had a long career in
public service.
A Hazle Township native,
Stevens graduated from Penn
State and from Dickinson
School of Law, engaging in pri-
vate law practice. He served
as solicitor for the city of
Hazleton and for the Hazleton
City Authority before his elec-
tion to the state House of
Representatives in 1980. He
was re- elected to three more
consecutive terms.
After serving four years as
Luzerne County district attor-
ney, Stevens won both parties
nominations to the county
Court of Common Pleas in
1991. He was elected to the
state Superior Court in 1997
and won a retention vote by a
nearly 2-to-1 margin in 2007.
Stevens was introduced to
the committee by committee
member Sen. John R. Gordner,
who made the motion to
approve Stevens nomination.
State Sen. John Yudichak
applauded the committee for
its unanimous vote Thursday.
I have known Judge
Stevens for nearly two
decades, and in that time I
have come to greatly admire
the depth of his personal
character and the expanse of
his professional experience,
Yudichak said. Judge Stevens
has been one of Northeastern
Pennsylvanias finest lead-
ers throughout the years and
he will bring the talents of a
legislator, district attorney,
county judge and president
judge of the Superior Court to
Pennsylvanias highest court.
Pennsylvania law requires a
two-thirds vote of the Senate
to confirm a nominee to the
Supreme Court. A Senate vote
on Stevens appointment is
expected to take place within
the next few days.

Protesters say Walmart using pork fromabusive pig farmers
Tess Kornfeld
Times Leader Intern
PITTSTON TWP. Several area activists joined Mercy
for Animals, a national animal rights organization, to pro-
test Walmarts use of a pork provider that they contend
unnecessarily abuses pigs.
In May 2012, an undercover Mercy for Animals investiga-
tion released hidden-camera footage purportedly recorded
at Christensen Farms, a Walmart pork supplier and one of
the largest pork producers in the country.
Footage on a Mercy for Animals website showed thou-
sands of pregnant pigs conned to narrow and metal crates
known as gestation crates that make pigs unable to turn
around or lie down. It also showed workers slamming pigs
heads into the ground and cutting off tails without admin-
istering painkillers.
Following the investigation, major national restaurants
such as McDonalds, Wendys and Burger King demanded
their suppliers to do away with gestation crates. In addi-
tion, conning a pregnant pig in such a crate has been
banned in all of the European Union and in nine states, said
Mercy for Animals coordinator Jeni Haines, who helped
organize the protest.
When Haines learned about factory farming of pigs six
years ago, she said she felt compelled to stand up for ani-
mal rights.
We have the moral obligation to protect all animals from
needless cruelty and violence, she said.
Haines has traveled all over the U.S. to Walmarts on
Mercy For Animals Walmart Cruelty Tour and said the
hidden cost of cheap pork is blatant animal abuse.
It is time for Walmart to follow the lead as Safeway,
Kroger and their other competitors by committing to phase
out cruel crates, Haines said.
Haines, along with tour assistant Crystal Gordon
and local activists stood outside of Walmart off Route
315 Thursday with signs donned with images of abused
pigs reading, Walmart Tortures Pigs and Walmart
Pork=Animal Abuse.
A 10-foot tall inatable pig, with bloody sores and locked
in a crate, was used as a prop to get the attention of shop-
pers.
It is very representative of what the pigs from Walmart
suppliers go through their entire lives, Haines said.
Within the rst 30 minutes of Thursdays protest, a car
stopped and a mother and her son donated $2 to the cause.
Geneva Laviska, of Falls, heard about this stop of the
Walmart Cruelty Tour through Facebook. Laviska, who
described herself as an animal lover and vegan, said she
decided to protest Walmart because it is possible to be
humane when it comes to animals. It was her rst protest
and she hopes to continue to do more.
I think people see us and understand, Laviska said.
Some people were honking.
Mercy for Animals will travel to Springeld, Mass., and
then to New York, Vermont, Maine, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa,
Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota and Missouri. The
group intends to continue its tour until Walmart requires
Christensen Farms to stop using gestation crates. Walmart
did not respond to a request to respond to the issue.

Mohegan Suns unintentional error costs it $90K
Andrew M. Seder
aseder@timesleader.com
PLAINS TWP. For
more than a year, a half-
dozen slot machines on
the lower level of the
Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs Casino were inad-
vertently programmed to
pay out at a lower rate
than they should have
been.
This mistake was cost-
ly, as the state Gaming
Control Board levied a
$90,000 ne against the
casinos operator this
week.
Mike Bean, president
and general manager
of the casino, said the
payout rates were still
within the legal param-
eters of the state require-
ments of at least an 85
percent payback, but
they were not at the level
the casino had on record
with the state for those
six machines.
He wouldnt say what
the rate was supposed to
be and what they were
from a stretch between
June 20, 2011 and Aug. 2,
2012.
Bean said the issue has
to do with settings. He
called it a small mistake
on six machines out of the
3,200 machines we have.
He added that following
these ndings, the casino
conducted a review of all
other slot machines in
the facility and found no
other discrepancies.
The blame, Bean said,
rests with an uninten-
tional error on our part.
Following a software
upgrade, settings have to
be reset and the settings
the technician saved were
different than what was
on the master list, he
said. That list, led with
the state, details informa-
tion including the type of
slot machine, the denomi-
nation it takes and the
payout percentages.
The gaming board had
never issued a ne for
such a violation before,
according to board spokes-
man Doug Harbach. The
$90,000 total is a result
of a $15,000 penalty being
assessed for each of the
six slot machines in ques-
tion.
Harbach said he could
not offer comment on
the details of the viola-
tions, instead saying the
information contained in
the consent agreements
speaks for itself. The
consent agreements were
approved Wednesday
during the gaming
boards public meeting in
Harrisburg.
The precise details of
the states ndings are
unclear, as the consent
agreement is vague when
it comes to the viola-
tion and ndings. Bean
declined to go into too
many specics, and hes
not obligated to under
the consent agreement,
but he said he wanted to
get word out to customers
who might be concerned
with the sanctity of the
machines.
He said this was an iso-
lated incident. He noted
that the machines are
among the least used in
the casino.
The $90,000 ne was
in addition to a $35,000
penalty levied against the
casino for shredding docu-
ments that are required
to be retained for ve
years and were therefore
unavailable upon request
to state auditors. In addi-
tion, Downs Racing of-
cials failed to notify the
board of the shredding
incident even though they
were aware of it soon after
its occurrence.

DAKAR, Senegal
President Barack Obama
on Thursday praised the
Supreme Courts ruling
on same-sex marriage as
a victory for American
democracy but clashed
with his African host over
gay rights in a sign of how
far the movement has to
go internationally.
Obama said recogni-
tion of gay unions in the
United States should
cross state lines and that
equal rights should be rec-
ognized universally. It was
his rst chance to expand
on his thoughts about the
ruling, which was issued
Wednesday as he ew
to Senegal, one of many
African countries that out-
law homosexuality.
Senegalese President
Macky Sall rebuffed
Obamas call for Africans
to give gays equal rights
under the law.
We are still not ready
to decriminalize homo-
sexuality, Sall said, while
insisting that the coun-
try is very tolerant and
needs more time to digest
the issue without pres-
sure. This does not mean
we are homophobic.
Obama said gay rights
didnt come up in their
private meeting at the
presidential palace, a
mansion that looks some-
what similar to the White
House. But Obama said he
wants to send a message
to Africans that while he
respects differing person-
al and religious views on
the matter, its important
to have nondiscrimination
under the law.
People should be
treated equally, and thats
a principle that I think
applies universally, he
said.
A report released
Monday by Amnesty
International says 38
African countries crimi-
nalize homosexual-
ity. In four of those
Mauritania, northern
Nigeria, southern Somalia
and Sudan the punish-
ment is death. These laws
appear to have broad pub-
lic support. A June 4 Pew
Research Center survey
found at least nine of 10
respondents in Senegal,
Kenya, Ghana, Uganda
and Nigeria believe homo-
sexuality should not be
accepted by society.
Papi Nbodj, a 19-year-
old student who stood by
the road to the presiden-
tial palace to see Obamas
arrival, said homosexual-
ity is against the religious
beliefs of most in Senegal.
We are in a Muslim
country, so we certainly
cannot have it here, he
said. And for me its not
OK to have this anywhere
in the world.
Sall sought to reassure
Obama that gays are not
persecuted in Senegal. But
under Senegalese law, an
improper or unnatural act
with a person of the same
sex can be punished by up
to ve years in prison.
Ndeye Kebe, presi-
dent of a human rights
organization that works
with homosexuals called
Womens Smile, disputed
Salls contention that gays
are not discriminated
against.
I know of around a
dozen people who are in
prison for homosexuality
as we speak, she said.
There wasnt any real
proof against them, but
they were found guilty
and they are in prison.
And as recently as
February of 2008, police
rounded up men suspect-
ed of being homosexual
after a Senegalese tabloid
published photographs
of a clandestine gay wed-
ding in a suburb of Dakar.
Gays went into hiding
or ed to neighboring
countries, but they were
pushed out of Gambia by
the presidents threat of
decapitation.

RICE TWP. The
volunteers at the now-
decertied Rice Township
Volunteer Fire Department
voted out their chief, Paul
Eyerman, Wednesday,
almost certainly removing
chances of merging with
Wright Township Volunteer
Fire Department.
The Rice Township
department was decerti-
ed Tuesday after two out
of three township supervi-
sors agreed too many prob-
lems continue to plague
the department and put
residents at risk. Wright
Township was named pri-
mary rst responder after
the vote. Eyerman was
seeking to merge the two
departments.
Eyerman said he antici-
pated his replacement.
When the decertica-
tion vote from the supervi-
sors came in, their 2-to-1
vote indicated that Rice Fire
Department had to look
very hard at the future of
the department, Eyerman
said. My views of the
future of the Rice Township
Fire Department were not
the same as the majority of
the members (there) and I
was replaced I turned in
my gear and said OK guys,
you do what you want to do
with this.
The reghters voted
in former chief Kevin
Tombasco, 34, who said
hes taking the position
on an interim basis. He
also volunteers for Valley
Regional Fire Rescue in
Drums.
I was the only one with
enough credentials to ll
the position. As I told
everybody else, I am just
an acting chief right now,
Tombasco said.
Tombasco said while
hes in charge he hopes to
continue making payments
on a truck for which the
department has a balance
of about $280,000. He said
hes proposing a commu-
nity cleanup day to get the
garbage picked up around
the station and cut the
grass.
Tombasco said hes look-
ing to possibly forma board
of directors; get covered
with appropriate workers
compensation and liabil-
ity insurances, and recruit
community volunteers
to keep their nances in
order. Though they might
not be primary responders
for their native township,
the volunteers can help
on other calls if they have
proper insurance.
He said he thinks these
things must be in place
before they consider a
merger with Wright and
Dorrance townships, which
has been the discussion for
months.
Township supervi-
sor George Venesky said
Eyermans dismissal
speaks volumes of the
dysfunction in the depart-
ment. He said he had
warned Eyerman the
department was problem-
atic; however, the former
volunteer returned anyway
hoping to restore order.
They got rid of Paul
Eyerman, the only voice of
sanity and normality over
there and appointed Kevin
Tombasco, Venesky said.
We told him six months
ago, You have no idea what
youre getting into. You
cant x it.

Casey: Energy corridors would boost
use of alternative energy vehicles
Steve Mocarsky
smocarsky@timesleader.com
WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S.
Sen. Bob Casey on Thursday
announced legislation he intends
to introduce that would autho-
rize the designation of certain
interstate highways as clean
vehicle corridors to help jump-
start construction of alternative
fuel refueling stations and boost
the use of alternative fuel vehi-
cles.
Caseys bill, the Clean Vehicle
Corridors Act, would direct the
Department of Transportation to
establish ve clean vehicle cor-
ridors along interstate highways
across the country in the rst
year. These clean vehicle areas
would contain the infrastructure
necessary to refuel clean vehicles
and would also modify weight
restrictions on heavier clean
vehicle trucks.
The corridors, Casey said,
would encourage promotion
of natural gas, plug-in electric,
advanced bio-fuels, hydrogen
and/or other clean fuels and
give private industry specic
geographic areas to focus invest-
ment to develop clean vehicle
refueling stations.
The intent is to make pub-
licly accessible refueling stations
available to all users at distances
within easy range between major
metropolitan areas with cleaner
domestic fuels, whether its com-
pressed natural gas, (liqueed
natural gas), propane, electric,
bio-fuel, hydrogen and others,
Casey said.
Where to refuel
Casey acknowledged that the
problem with increasing alter-
native fuel vehicle use is akin
to the chicken-and-the-egg
conundrum: Which comes rst,
the vehicles or the refueling
stations? Consumers wont buy
alternative fuel vehicles unless
there are enough refueling sta-
tions in place, but private indus-
try wont build refueling stations
unless there are enough alterna-
tive fuel vehicles on the road to
earn them a prot.
Casey said designating certain
highways as clean vehicle corri-
dors, coupled with other legisla-
tion he is sponsoring, will help
ensure the refueling stations are
built and that more companies
and agencies invest in alterna-
tive fuel vehicle eets. In turn,
so so can the public.
Casey said that because its
so expensive to convert exist-
ing vehicles to run on alternative
fuels or to buy new alternative
fuel vehicles, he also introduced
legislation to extend tax credits
to provide rebates to encourage
the use of alternative fuels such
as compressed or liqueed natu-
ral gas.
Alternative fuel incentives
Casey said there were more
than 315,000 on-road vehicles
using alternative fuels in the
United States in 2010, and he
hopes the legislation will pro-
mote infrastructure development
that will enable that number to
someday reach into the millions.
The folks who will invest in
this infrastructure they want
to make money. And I think they
know the market will be there
just as the market was there for
natural gas itself. Im not too
concerned about that, I think
it will happen. But if there are
other steps we have to take that
we havent advocated for, Im
certainly willing to listen and
learn, he said.
In addition to authorizing the
corridor designation, the bill
would allow states to modify
HOV (high occupancy vehicle)
and HOT (high occupancy toll)
lane restrictions to accommodate
vehicles using cleaner alternative
fuel and allow for the creation of
designated parking spaces for
vehicles using alternative fuels.

JOHANNESBURG Nelson
Mandelas health improved Thursday
and although his condition remains
critical, it is now stable, the South
African government said. One of the
former presidents daughters said he
was still opening his eyes and react-
ing to the touch of his family even
though his situation was precarious.
The report that the health of the
94-year-old anti-apartheid leader had
taken a turn for the better came amid
a growing sense in South Africa that
Mandela was approaching the end of
his life. Well-wishers have delivered
owers and messages of support to
the Pretoria hospital where he is
being treated, and prayer sessions
were held around the country on
Thursday.
President Jacob Zumas office
said in a statement that he received
the encouraging update from
the medical team that is treating
Mandela. Zuma had canceled an
international trip on Thursday,
instead visiting Mandela for the
second time in two days.
I canceled my visit to Mozambique
today so that I can see him and confer
with the doctors, Zuma said in the
statement. He is much better today
than he was when I saw him last
night.
In April, Zuma gave an overly
upbeat assessment about Mandelas
condition. At that time, state televi-
sion broadcast footage of a visit by
Zuma and other political leaders to
Mandelas home. Zuma said at the
time that Mandela was in good shape,
but the footage showed him silent and
unresponsive, even when Zuma tried
to hold his hand.
Mandela, who was imprisoned for
27 years during white racist rule and
became president in all-race elections
in 1994, was taken to a hospital on
June 8 for what the government said
was a recurring lung infection.
Zuma urged people to pray for
Mandela, and continue with their
work and daily activities even while
he is hospitalized.
The presidents ofce said it was
disturbed by what it called rumors
about Mandelas health and appealed
for respect for the privacy and dignity
of the former leader. Unconrmed
reports about Mandela have swirled
on social media and other forums.
Mandelas condition is acknowl-
edged to be grave. He is on life
support systems, according to a
few television networks that quote
anonymous sources, and presidential
spokesman Mac Maharaj has declined
to conrm or deny those reports.
Makaziwe Mandela, one of
Mandelas daughters, echoed the
criticism, saying foreign media cover-
age of her fathers illness had become
intrusive.

15-count state
indictment relat-
ed to the death
of a police of-
cer and a police
shootout.
Thats in addi-
tion to a 30-count
federal indict-
ment returned by
a federal grand jury Thursday.
U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz and
state ofcials said at a news con-
ference that theyre thinking of the
three people killed and 260 people
injured when two bombs exploded
April 15 near the nish line.
Authorities say the suspects
later shot Massachusetts Institute
of Technology ofcer Sean Collier
in his cruiser and tried to steal his
gun.
Tsarnaev was indicted Thursday
on federal charges for which he
could get the death penalty. His
attorney has declined to comment.
His brother was killed in the
shootout with police April 19.
Tsarnaev downloaded bomb-
making instructions from an al-
Qaida magazine, gathered online
material on Islamic jihad and mar-
tyrdom, and later scribbled anti-
American messages inside the
boat where he lay wounded, a fed-
eral indictment charged Thursday.
The 30-count indictment
includes many of the same weap-
on-of-mass-destruction charges,
punishable by the death penalty,
that were brought against the
19-year-old Tsarnaev in April.
But prosecutors added charges
covering the slaying of an MIT
police ofcer and the carjacking
of a motorist during the getaway
attempt that left Tsarnaevs older
brother, Tamerlan, dead.
Three people were killed and
more than 260 wounded by the
two pressure-cooker bombs that
went off near the nish line of the
marathon on April 15.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was cap-
tured four days later, hiding in
a boat parked in a backyard in
Watertown, Mass.
According to the indictment, he
scrawled messages on the inside of
the vessel that said, among other
things, The U.S. Government
is killing our innocent civilians,
I cant stand to see such evil go
unpunished, and We Muslims
are one body you hurt one you
hurt us all.
The Tsarnaev brothers had
roots in the turbulent Russian
regions of Dagestan and
Chechnya, which have become
recruiting grounds for Islamic
extremists. They had been living
in the U.S. about a decade.

FALL RIVER, Mass. A judge on
Thursday denied bail for former New
England Patriots tight end Aaron
Hernandez, who is charged with rst-
degree murder in the shooting death
of a friend.
Hernandezs lawyer argued that
Hernandez is not a risk to ee and the
case against him is circumstantial.
But a prosecutor said the evidence
is overwhelming. A search of a
condo leased by Hernandez turned
up an ammunition clip matching the
caliber of casings found at the scene of
the killing of Odin Lloyd, the prosecu-
tor said.
Lloyds body was discovered by a
jogger in a remote area of an indus-
trial park not far from Hernandezs
home 10 days ago. He has pleaded not
guilty.
Prosecutors called Lloyds killing an
execution-style shooting orchestrated
by Hernandez because his friend talk-
ed to the wrong people at a nightclub.
Hernandez could face life in prison, if
convicted.
Hernandez was cut from the NFL
team less than two hours after he
was arrested and led from his North
Attleborough home in handcuffs,
and nine days after Lloyds body
was discovered. The 2011 Pro Bowl
selection had signed a five-year con-
tract last summer with the Patriots
worth $40 million.
Another man, Carlos Ortiz, 27, was
arrested Wednesday in Hernandezs
hometown of Bristol, Conn., as part of
the murder investigation, New Britain
States Attorney Brian Preleski said
Thursday. Ortiz was charged as a fugi-
tive from justice and waived extradi-
tion to Massachusetts. Prison records
show he is being held on $1.5 million
bail at a Hartford jail.
Ortizs public defender, Alfonzo
Sirica, declined to comment about the
case.
In the meantime, police have been
searching a third-oor unit in a
condo complex in Franklin, Mass.,
that Hernandez had visited in recent
weeks, according to the units next-
door neighbor.
Condo resident Carol Bailey said
that starting Wednesday and continu-
ing Thursday, police removed items
from the modest, two-bedroom rental
unit and asked her questions about its
occupants. She said a new tenant told
her in May that he was moving in with
his cousin, and she realized later that
the second man he had referred to that
way was the Patriots player.
I thought, This is Aaron
Hernandez. Hes renting a place here
so he can have some peace and quiet,
the retiree said Thursday.
The Ledgewood Condominiums
resident said she didnt see the two
men often, but Hernandez always had
a hoodie pulled up when she saw him.

Fall River, Mass., Superior Court.
Prosecutors say evidence against the
Pro Bowl tight end is overwhelming
I think all of us who recognized
who it was didnt want to invade his
privacy, she said of neighbors.
Lloyd, 27, a semi-pro football
player with the Boston Bandits,
had known Hernandez for about
a year and was dating the sister of
Hernandezs ancee, the mother
of Hernandezs 8-month-old baby,
Bristol County Assistant District
Attorney Bill McCauley said.
McCauley said Lloyd was shot
multiple times, including twice from
above as he was lying on the ground.
He said ve .45-caliber casings were
found at the scene.
Vows wait, but gay couples cheer high court moves
Lisa Lef
SAN FRANCISCO
Backed by rainbow ags and
confetti, thousands celebrated
in Californias streets after
U.S. Supreme Court rulings
brought major advances for
gay marriage proponents in
the state and across the coun-
try.
Though wedding bells
might be weeks away, same-
sex couples and their sup-
porters lled city blocks
of San Francisco and West
Hollywood on Wednesday
night to savor the long-await-
ed decisions as thumping
music resounded.
Today the words embla-
zoned across the Supreme
Court ring true: equal justice
under law, said Paul Katami,
one of the plaintiffs who chal-
lenged Californias gay mar-
riage ban, as he celebrated in
West Hollywood.
In one of two 5-4 rulings,
the high court cleared the way
for gay marriages to resume
in California, holding that the
coalition of religious conser-
vative groups that qualied
a voter-approved ban for the
ballot did not have the author-
ity to defend it after state
ofcials refused. The justices
thus let stand a San Francisco
trial courts ruling in August
2010 that overturned the ban.
In the other, the court
wiped away part of a federal
anti-gay marriage law, the
Defense of Marriage Act, or
DOMA, putting legally mar-
ried gay couples on equal
federal footing with all other
married Americans, allowing
them to receive the same tax,
health and pension benets.
The court sidestepped the
larger question of whether
banning gay marriage is
unconstitutional, and states
other than California and the
12 others where gay couples
already have the right to wed
were left to hash out the issue
within their borders.
As the sun set on San
Francisco, a crowd surged
from hundreds to several
thousand in the citys Castro
neighborhood, with rainbow
ags and confetti lling the
air.
James Reynolds, 45, was
among the revelers, saying he
had been married to his part-
ner of 23 years several times,
including once in California.
Its been taken away from
us, Reynolds said as he stood
in a crosswalk near the barrier
blocking off the street for the
celebration. But well be mar-
ried again.
It remained unclear, however,
when Californias gay marriag-
es might start again. Backers of
the ban known as Proposition
8 have 25 days to ask the
Supreme Court to reconsider.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals also must lift a hold it
placed on the lower court order
before the state can be free
to issue marriage licenses to
same-sex couples.
Still, state ofcials moved
quickly. Gov. Jerry Brown
said he had directed the
California Department of
Public Health to start issuing
licenses as soon as the hold
is lifted, and state Attorney
General Kamala Harris went
even further, publicly urging
the appellate court to act
ahead of the nal word from
the Supreme Court.
In the DOMA decision,
Justice Anthony Kennedy,
joined by the four liberal jus-
tices, said the purpose of the
federal law was to impose a
disadvantage and a stigma
upon all who enter into same-
sex marriages.

Supporters for same-sex marriage rally Wednesday in Springfield, Ill., the
same day the Supreme Court struck down a provision of a federal law
denying federal benefits to married gay couples.
WILKES-BARRE
For the rst time since
1999, the Wilkes-Barre
Area School Board passed
a nal budget with no tax
increase.
Im proud to present
this, budget committee
Chairman Louis Elmy said
before reading the resolu-
tion approving a spending
plan totaling just under
$101.9 million while keep-
ing the tax rate at this
years 15.522 mills. A mill
is a $1 tax for every $1,000
of assessed property value.

WILKES-BARRE A Nanticoke
man charged with assaulting a former
fellow Oplinger Towers resident over
the use of laundry machines was sen-
tenced Thursday to at least 15 days in
county prison.
Jeff Lynn Myers, 55, of Gareld
Street, was sentenced to 15 days
to 12 months in county prison for
simple assault after police said he
assaulted another man who Myers
believed used the machines out of turn.
I cant express to you what this
has done to our lives, said Marie
Sadowski, whose husband Benjamin
was pushed by Myers, according to
police. Marie Sadowski said her hus-
band has incurred medical expenses
and will continue to need medical
treatment, and the incident has affect-
ed them nancially.
It was over something silly, Marie
Sadowski said.
On March 25, police were called to
the East Main Street apartment com-
plex for the report of an assault. When
they arrived, police observed Benjamin
Sadowski on the oor in the hallway.
Benjamin Sadowski reported he had
been pushed by a neighbor.
Marie Sadowski told police she and
her husband were using the laundry
room on the buildings third oor
when they saw a note that the machine
was to be next used by one of their
neighbors. Marie Sadowski went to
the neighbors apartment, Myers, to
notify him they were not done using
the machines when Myers reportedly
became angry and stormed down a
hallway, yelling at Benjamin Sadowski.
Myers approached Benjamin
Sadowski, yelling profanities, and
shoved him, according to police.
Benjamin Sadowski suffered a hip
injury, court papers state.
Police spoke with Myers, who said
he went to the Sadowskis to tell them
he was next to use the machines, and
confronted Benjamin Sadowski in the
hallway.
Police watched a surveillance
video of the incident, which alleg-
edly showed the incident as Marie
Sadowski explained.
Myers was scheduled to stand
trial on charges in April, but instead
entered a guilty plea to the simple
assault charge.
Judge Fred Pierantoni said Myers
must undergo a mental health and
anger management evaluation, com-
ply with any treatment and complete
15 hours of community service. Myers
also must report this morning to the
Luzerne County Correctional Facility
to begin serving his sentence.

No tax hike for Wilkes-Barre Area School District
Business manager notes property owners will
get a tax exemption of $1 more than last year.

Man gets jail time for assault over laundry dispute
Sheena Delazio
fall. The very modest sav-
ings are the result of the
law known as Act 1, which
uses money from legalized
gambling to lower prop-
erty taxes for homeowners.
Przywara said eligible
property owners will get
a tax exemption of $213,
$1 more than last year.
Coupled with the decision
to avoid a tax hike, their
bills will go down by that
dollar, he said.
Not that its likely to be
noticeable. A person own-
ing a home assessed at
$100,0000 who receives the
Act 1 exemption would get
a bill for $1,339.
Sam Troy, a frequent
critic of board spending,
had criticized the board
prior to the vote for an
expected 1 percent tax
increase that had been
included in a preliminary
budget passed last month.
Any increase, to me, is
too much, Troy said. After
the vote, he criticized the
board again, insisting, It
should have been a tax cut.
Przywara said the dis-
tricts state-mandated pay-
ment into the teacher pen-
sion fund will rise by $1
million. But he also said
15 teachers had retired and
that, assuming all of them
are replaced by teachers at
the lowest starting salary,
the district will save about
$714,000 in salary and ben-
ets.
Przywara also said the
boards order for a 10 per-
cent across-the-board cut
in supplies saved about
$100,000, and that a 33
percent reduction in the
workers compensation
insurance rate saved about
$150,000.
Total spending rises
from last year by about $1
million, while money com-
ing in is expected to be
$1.8 million less than that.
The board opted to cover
the shortfall with money
from the school districts
fund balance, a reserve
built up over the years by
either spending less than
originally budgeted or tak-
ing in more money than
expected.
Przywara said the district
fund balance at the start of
this scal year last June
was about $7.8 million, but
about $2 million was used
to cover a shortfall in this
years budget. The district
expects to nish this s-
cal year at the end of this
month with a fund balance
of almost $5.8 million,
Przywara said.
The budget was approved
by a 6-2 vote, with board
member Maryanne Toole
absent and Christine
Katsock and Lynn Evans
voting against it.
Katsock questioned sev-
eral places she said could
still be cut, citing $10,500
budgeted for transporta-
tion in the elementary
and secondary curricu-
lum director departments.
They dont need to be
compensated for mile-
age; they can be compen-
sated through federal tax
deductions, Katscok said.
She also criticized a
renewal of the board con-
tract with attorney Ray
Wendolowski as solicitor
at a total cost of $195,000.
Katsock has been a crit-
ic of legal spending for
years and routinely votes
against motions to pay
Wendolowskis bills.
Katsock also voted
against hiring Berkheimer
Outsourcing to collect
taxes. She said the company
should have set up an ofce
in the district but has not.
School
snacks due
for healthy
change
Onnie Cass And
Mary Clare Jalonick
Associated Press
WASHINGTON Kids,
your days of blowing off
those healthier school
lunches and lling up on
cookies from the vending
machine are numbered.
The government is onto
you.
For the rst time, the
Agriculture Department is
telling schools what sorts
of snacks they can sell. The
newrestrictions announced
Thursday ll a gap in nutri-
tion rules that allowed
many students to load
up on fat, sugar and salt
despite the existing guide-
lines for healthy meals.
Parents will no longer
have to worry that their
kids are using their lunch
money to buy junk food and
junk drinks at school, said
Margo Wootan, a nutrition
lobbyist for the Center
for Science in the Public
Interest who pushed for the
new rules.
That doesnt mean
schools will be limited to
doling out broccoli and
brussels sprouts.
Snacks that still make the
grade include granola bars,
low-fat tortilla chips, fruit
cups and 100 percent fruit
juice. And high school stu-
dents can buy diet versions
of soda, sports drinks and
iced tea.
But say goodbye to some
beloved school standbys,
such as doughy pretzels,
chocolate chip cookies and
those little ice cream cups
with their own spoons.
Some may survive in low-
fat or whole wheat ver-
sions. The idea is to weed
out junk food and replace it
with something with nutri-
tional merit.
The bottom line, says
Wootan: There has to be
some food in the food.
Still, 17-year-old Vanessa
Herrera is partial to the
Cheez-It crackers and sugar-
laden Vitaminwater in her
schools vending machine.
Granola bars and bags of
peanuts? Not so much.
town of Gettysburg, in
Adams County of south-
central Pennsylvania, and
engaged the enemy. Its
task was to hold off the
Confederate onslaught
until the Army could seize
vital high ground south of
Gettysburg.
As the days ghting
progressed and casualties
mounted, the 46-year-old
Dana found himself having
to assume command
higher up, at brigade level,
when the colonels of the
other two regiments in the
brigade were wounded.
Under heavy rebel pressure,
the 143rd did its job and
made a strategic retreat.
They bought so much
time (Maj. Gen. George
G.) Meade was able to
get the high ground, said
Petrillo. The Wilkes-Barre
guys showed themselves
well.
Danas luck seemed to
run out the following year
when he was captured in
Virginia during the Battle
of the Wilderness as Lt.
Gen. Ulysses S. Grant
pressed the Confederates
hard. By this time, Dana
had sent his beloved sword
home for safekeeping.
Otherwise, said Petrillo,
it certainly would have
been confiscated by
the rebels as a valuable
artifact.
W-B Homecoming
Four months later, Dana
was released in a prisoner
exchange. The Army sent
him home to Wilkes-Barre
to convalesce, and there
the grateful city gave him
yet another presentation
sword, the second of the
two swords that will be
displayed this month.
An honored citizen, Dana
died in 1889 at 72.
Petrillo has a strong
connection to Wyoming
Valley. Originally from
Bear Creek Township, he
graduated from Coughlin
High School and Kings
College and then went
on to the University of
Pennsylvania.
I got bitten by the Civil
War bug when I was in
third grade and my father
took me to Gettysburg, he
said. I had no idea Wilkes-
Barre was such a Civil War
city.
Theres one more thing
Petrillo wants. Danas
earliest command, the
Wyoming Artillerists, also
presented him with a sword
long before the Civil War,
making a total of three he
received.
Maybe someday Ill get
that one. Who knows.

U.S. Army Col. Edmund F. Dana
of Wilkes-Barre.
From page 1A

the third person down to
own them.
Graduated from Yale
Dana was the classic
citizen-soldier.
Educated at Yale
University as an engineer
and later admitted to
the Luzerne County Bar
as an attorney, he began
his military career as a
captain in the local militia
the Wyoming Artillerists
during the 1846-48
Mexican War.
In 1862, the second
year of the Civil War, Gov.
Andrew Curtin named
him commander of Camp
Luzerne, a training base in
present-day Luzerne. Soon
he was elected colonel of
the newly formed 143rd
Pennsylvania Volunteer
Infantry, which became
part of the Armys I Corps.
On his birthday in
January 1863, his fellow
ofcers gave him a sword
as a token of their esteem.
This was a presentation
sword and the earlier of
the two to be displayed
this month. Not intended
for use in battle, they were
symbols of honor.
Within just a fewmonths,
this amazing guy, as
Petrillo likes to call him,
would be leading his troops
at Gettysburg, in what
many historians call the
pivotal battle of the war.
The goal of the
Confederate Army of
Northern Virginia, under
Lt. Gen. Robert E. Lee, in
1863 was to lure the U.S.
Army of the Potomac into
a decisive ght on its home
grounds of Pennsylvania,
win a victory, and force the
United States to quit the
war on the Confederacys
terms.
To counter the threat,
the seven-corps Army of
the Potomac headed north,
with I Corps in the lead. On
July 1, the I Corps arrived
north of the crossroads

theres an app for that
PHILADELPHIA At the 150th
anniversary celebration of the Battle of
Gettysburg, many Civil War re-enactors
will eschew the use of modern technol-
ogy, but scores of tourists will embrace
it.
More than 5,700 Foursquare users
have checked in at sites in the historic
borough; more than 16,000 Facebook
users have liked it. And in the weeks
leading up to the anniversary next
week, apps that offer maps and informa-
tion about key battle spots have surged
in popularity.
Garry Adelman has been a licensed
Gettysburg battlefield guide for 19 years
and has recently moved his high-energy
tour into the realm of the smartphone.
The project was initiated four years
ago by the Civil War Trust, a nonprofit
battlefield preservation group where
Adelman is the director of history and
education.
The group has since released 11 free
Battle Apps for the iPhone and Android.
Guides like Adelman appear in videos in
the apps, telling the stories behind the
historic sites where smartphone users
are standing. Old photos show how a
landscape looked during the war. And
when a tourist points a smartphone
camera toward some history, virtual
signs appear to show whats what.
In-person historical interpretation,
where you can answer peoples ques-
tions, will always be superior to a tour-
ing product on your phone, Adelman
said. The problem, he said, is there
often arent enough tour guides to serve
the number of Gettysburg visitors.
For a week like the upcoming cel-
ebration, Adelman said, its not even
close.
National Park Service rangers and
guides will offer many tours of the
battlefield this week. Otherwise, before
smartphones, visitors to Gettysburg
could hire a private guide, take a bus
tour or drive the battlefield on their
own guided by an audio tour from a CD.

Abortion stance
shows true face
When I read Ms. Magnis let-
ter of 6-23 about Congressman
Matt Cartwright voting NO
to the Pain Capable Unborn
Child Protection Act, I real-
ized that he, along with our
Senator (Senator Casey),
always profess to be proud
of their Catholic Faith. They
both must know that claiming
to be Catholic carries a great
responsibility.
As Archbishop Chaput of the
Archdiocese of Philadelphia
states in the foreword to the
booklet Catholics in the
Public Square: We get the
elected ofcials we deserve.
Their virtue, or their lack of it,
is a judgment not only on them,
but also on us. Every political
choice we make also affects the
persons we are. Private convic-
tion is not a separate universe,
distinct from public life.
If we really believe in Jesus
Christ, if we really mean it
when we say were Catholic,
then thats the soil from which
all our public actions should
ower, including our politi-
cal choices. When we claim
to believe in one thing, but
act in the opposite political
manner, we choose a kind of
schizophrenia. We contradict
ourselves. And the result is
the sort of moral confusion we
nd in so many elements of our
public life today.
I do feel that there is only one
word that can truly describe
Congressman Cartwrights
NO vote to a bill that would
have stopped late term abor-
tions its reprehensible!

Election error raises
recurring question
THE NEWS THAT the elec-
tion blunder in the Hazleton Area
School District has been, more or
less, resolved quickly is promising.
And Luzerne County Election
Bureau Director Marissa Crispell-
Barbers willingness to accept
responsibility is refreshing in a
region where the blame game is
practically a political reex.
But xing both the problem
and the responsibility for it feels
unsatisfying, perhaps because of
the timing. On the same day we
learned two Luzerne County judg-
es ordered a special election in
the parts of Schuylkill and Carbon
Counties that are within Hazleton
Area School District boundaries,
we also learned Crispell-Barbers
predecessor, Leonard Piazza, led
a lawsuit alleging he was red for
political reasons.
The suit isnt a surprise; the
accusation that Piazza was dis-
missed because of his efforts to
audit campaign nance reports of
county Controller Walter Grifth
has been around almost from the
day Piazza was terminated.
But the timing resurrects a
still-unanswered question: Why
was Piazza, who had ushered the
county into the 21st century elec-
tronically while building a record
of competence and public access,
dismissed?
Crispell-Barber may have prov-
en herself capable, but the gaffe in
the Hazleton Area School District
she failed to notify the other
two counties when candidate
Steve Hahn withdrew his name
from the ballot raises concerns
she is not capable enough.
At theveryleast, her acceptance
of blame coupled with Piazzas
lawsuit refresh the need for a
better accounting of what prompt-
ed Piazzas forced departure.
apple trust-bust efort
puts eye on e-books
FEDERAL trustbusters have
set out to prove that Apple Inc.
xed prices in the market for elec-
tronic books, and the case that
wrapped up last week is strong
but for one inconvenient fact:
e-book competition is breaking
out all over.
The market that Apple and ve
leading publishers are accused of
manipulating is seeing the most
aggressive price-slashing of its
brief history. Innovative newhard-
ware and software have revolu-
tionized it. Marketing has gotten
more creative.
Far from a rigged game, the
battle for e-book market share
appears to have evolved into
a free-for-all as it should be
with Barnes & Noble and
Apple making headway against
the dominant Amazon.com, and
Google angling for more business
too. At the federal bench trial in
New York, Apple scored points by
aggressively cross-examining gov-
ernment witnesses to show that
competition is alive and well.
Federal prosecutors had reason
to cry foul over the deal that Apple
reached to break into the e-book
business in 2010, but their case
shows the limits of government
power to bring about competition
in an era of blink-and-you-miss-
it technological innovation. At
this point, the publics concern
shouldnt be about punishing
Apple for an anti-competitive deal
it made back in the day, it should
be about ensuring that fair and
open competition continues to
prevail in the fast-moving e-book
marketplace. A likely government
victory in the case cant diminish
the ability of Apple andother com-
petitors to have at it, free market-
style.
Until April 2010, major publish-
ers distributed e-books by selling
them at a wholesale price, leav-
ing retailers to set the price paid
by consumers. Amazon held 90
percent of what was then a edg-
ling market, and it had a free hand
to sell best-sellers below its cost
to stimulate interest. Publishers
feared that Amazons aggressive
discounting would devalue cre-
ative content, cannibalize hard-
cover sales and scare off compet-
ing retail outlets.
Enter Apple. The tech giant
was releasing its rst iPad, a tab-
let computer that functions as
an e-book reader. In early 2010,
Apple proposed that publishers,
not retailers, should set the price
of e-books, then pay retailers a
30 percent commission on each
book sold. That deal, in effect,
prevented Amazon from ped-
dling best-sellers at $9.99, below
its cost. The agreement further
guaranteed that if Amazon sold a
book for less than Apple, the com-
puter giant wouldget tomatchthe
price.
There is little doubt that Apple
and the publishers intended to
drive up the price of e-book best-
sellers to $12.99 or $14.99, to the
disadvantage of consumers. The
government says Apples deal cost
shoppers hundreds of millions of
dollars.
There also is little doubt that
Apples entry into the e-book mar-
ket ushered in a period of inno-
vation. The iPad proved hugely
popular, and its iBooks software
was more user-friendly than
anything before it. To keep up,
Amazon scrambled to launch the
Kindle Touch, with an iPad-like
touch screen, and the Kindle Fire,
which, like the iPad, has a full Web
browser, color and video support.
E-book sales soared, and even
with the higher sticker price
for the top best-sellers, the aver-
age price of an e-book fell as the
market expanded. By February
2013, Amazons market share
had dropped from 90 percent to
60 percent, with Barnes & Noble
at 22 percent and Apple at 12 to
15 percent, according to expert
testimony in the case. An Apple
executive testied at trial that its
current share is about 20 percent,
suggesting the market remains
hotly contested.
Today, e-book sales growth has
leveled off from the boom, but its
still on the rise. Consumer e-book
promotions have gotten much
more sophisticated, featuring pric-
es all over the map.
Those happy occurrences arent
likely to let Apple off the hook.
U.S. District Judge Denise Cote
heard the case without a jury. In
an unusual move shortly before
the trial, she said she thought
the government would be able to
prove that Apple knowingly con-
spired to raise e-book prices. That
was a strong signal to Apple that it
should settle. The ve publishers
accused along with Apple reached
agreements with the government.
Apple decided to keep ghting.
The judge is expected to issue
a decision in several weeks.
Whatever the outcome, we want
to see competition in the e-book
market get even more erce, for
the sake of book lovers every-
where.
Chicago Tribune
investment in early education needed now
THIS NATION faces a frighten-
ing prospect. Our lack of invest-
ment in early childhood education
adversely impacts this countrys
ability to create high-value jobs
and compete globally. When we
dont value investments in chil-
dren early on in life, it has adverse
implications.
High-quality early childhood
education prepares young children
for success in school. At a time
when their young brains are growing and
developing rapidly, it imparts instruction
and stimulation that build lifetime capa-
bilities for learning. When they enter
school ready to learn, they are likelier to
stay on pace academically, graduate from
high school, pursue college or career
training, and enter our communities as
productive citizens.
Without quality early learning, the
opposite happens. Disadvantaged chil-
dren, especially, enter school behind their
peers developmentally and stay behind,
eventually dropping out of school, going
on welfare, and getting tangled up with
the law.
A lack of investment in early education
has such far-reaching negative connota-
tions that, to me, its almost mind-bog-
gling. Its common sense to say that you
invest where you have to make the least
amount of investment for the greatest
payoff. Instead, were paying vastly larger
amounts in the back end.
U.S. businesses demand employees
who can tackle increasingly complex
tasks, with 60 percent of new jobs requir-
ing skills in the STEM areas of science,
technology, engineering, and math-
ematics. The health care insurance
industry is just one example of an
industry becoming more and more
analytic. We are moving to pay-for-
value for health care, as opposed
to pay-for- procedure. Determining
value the progress accruing
from a course of treatment
requires high-level analytics, risk
assessment, stronger math capabil-
ities, strong problem solving, and
good communications.
And yet, the U.S. Commerce
Department says that were facing a short-
age of people qualied to ll jobs requir-
ing STEM skills something that every
employer is acutely aware of. Again, its
frightening to contemplate, especially
when our competitor nations, such as
China and India, are investing in early
childhood and developing their people to
ll those jobs.
Employers want talent who will take
their businesses to the next level. We
want people who have a sense of own-
ership, and not a sense of entitlement.
When customers call our businesses with
questions or problems, we want them to
encounter people equipped with the drive
and the intuition to get to the heart of the
issue and untangle the situation. Those
people dont spring, fully formed, from
the high school commencement ceremo-
ny. The earlier we invest, and the earlier
that young people begin to understand
their potential, the better. They must
take ownership of themselves and whom
they are working for. Thats something I
think were dangerously missing.
I am also in the wellness business, and
the less educated people are, the less they
understand the value of wellness and the
importance of taking care of their health.
That understanding starts very early.
Without it, you have more teen pregnan-
cies, which lead to another uneducated
generation. Knowing what to do and how
to care for yourself is a critical element in
building whole communities of wellness-
aware people.
Lets get to the root of the problems.
Education is huge in this effort, and edu-
cation starts at the beginning of life, in
the years before children enter kindergar-
ten.
Its often said that we are a nation look-
ing for immediate returns. When the
repercussions of a problem arent immi-
nent, everyone kicks that can down the
road. Its time we picked up this particular
can and dealt with it. In fact, we are mak-
ing some progress. Pennsylvania has done
an outstanding job of bringing this issue
to the forefront. I applaud and support
Gov. Tom Corbetts proposed investment
in early childhood education. Children at
risk of failing in school should have the
opportunity to be served through high-
quality early learning programs.
By investing now, and maintaining our
commitment for the long term, we can
assure healthier people, healthier busi-
nesses, and healthier communities for
years to come.

OThER COMMENTARY
Denise S.
Cesare
eager to see the demoli-
tion of the condemned
building that ofcials
have described as a safety
hazard, a disruption to
downtown trafc and an
added expense of $5,000 a
month since late 2011 for
concrete barriers on the
busy streets around the
landmark structure. It has
been vacant since 1998.
The city is placing liens on
the property for any costs
it incurs, she said.
Councils procedural 3-0
vote by Tony George, Bill
Barrett and Mike Merritt
moved the long-awaited
demolition a step closer.
Council members George
Brown and Maureen
Lavelle were excused from
the special meeting that
lasted about 15 minutes
and drew a few questions
about environmental con-
cerns and cost.
The building standing at
the western gateway to the
city at the corner of West
Market and North River
streets had been eyed for
development by CityVest,
the nonprot owner of
the property. But the proj-
ect became too costly and
CityVest of Wilkes-Barre
exhausted its funding,
including a $6 million
loan from Luzerne County.
The county and CityVest,
which is in the process of
dissolving, have been at
odds over the loan and the
release from legal action
that could arise from the
project.
The city stepped in to
take control of the demo-
lition and bid the job last
year, attracting 14 con-
tractors including Brdaric
which quoted a price of
$796,000. It already had
state funding in place but
this year received approval
from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban
Development to use
Community Development
Block Grant money.
Fourteen contractors par-
ticipated in the second
round of bidding with
Brdaric among the repeat
bidders.
McCormick said Brdaric
was not asked about the
drop of $377,000 from the
rst bid.
The only time we would
question a bid is if it didnt
fall in line with the other
bids that were submitted,
she said.
The next lowest bid
to Brdaric was $421,000
from Ritter & Paratore
Contracting Inc. of Utica,
N.Y.
SCE Environmental
Group of Jefferson
Township followed with a
bid a $421, 500. The high-
est bid was $1.2 million by
Brandenburg Construction
Co. of Bethlehem.
The hotel that opened in
1898 will not be implod-
ed with charges to bring
the building down on its
own, McCormick said in
response to a question
from city resident Jim
Burden. He suggested at
looking at options that
would not cost the city,
including contacting a
California lm company
to implode it. Instead of
paying out get paid for it,
Burden said.
McCormick said the
state Game Commission
ruled out an implosion
because peregrine falcons,
which are endangered,
use the hotel as a perch to
search for prey.
Mike Giamber of
Fairmount Township
asked if the DEP was
going to sample the air for
asbestos particles during
the demolition.
McCormick responded
that a March 2012 envi-
ronmental report from
Pennoni Associates Inc.
consulting engineers
said all the asbestos was
removed.
However, she could not
assure city resident Frank
Sorick that there would
not be additional costs
associated with the demo-
lition. If the scope of the
work as dened in the con-
tract specications chang-
es for any reason council
would have to approve the
change order, she said.
There are reasons for
change orders, something
underground you cant see,
that kind of thing, an unex-
pected expense, she said.
and Wilkes-Barre.
In one recorded phone
conversation, one of
the alleged dealers
who was not charged said,
I dont do Plymouth and
Kingston.
Code names for drugs
Code names were used
to described certain drugs,
such as Pineapple Kush
for high grade marijuana
and CD and Raw Dawg
for pure cocaine.
A text message
intercepted at 8:33 p.m. on
May 11 from a buyer urg
es Colon to get more
cocaine, according to
authorities. Colon, in
return, sent a text message
to Mateo at 8:38 p.m.
instructing her to take
cocaine to the barbershop
for the buyer to pick up,
according to the criminal
complaint.
Another text message
recorded a conversation
about counterfeit $20
bills mixed with a $3,000
payment for cocaine, the
complaint states.
Preliminary hearings are
scheduled on July 9.

officials were evaluating
the need for an evacua-
tion, according to radio
broadcast reports.
The 911 supervisor
said at about 9 .m. it
appeared that Kingston
and Newport Township
had been hit the hardest.
Bekanich received
reports of people strand-
ed in their vehicles in the
Newport Township area
and Kingston. Those
areas had the most calls
for service, he said.
But just about every-
where is getting hit pret-
ty hard, he said when
interviewed at about
10:05 p.m.
At least five vehi-
cles were stranded in
the parking lot at the
Gateway Shopping
Center in Edwardsville.
Marleny Encarnacion,
assistant manager at La
Tolteca Express in the
shopping center, said
water crept to within a
few feet of the front door.
The water looked like it
wasnt going to stop,
Encarnacion said. But
the business sustained
no water damage.
Pooling water in the
parking lot had mostly
receded by 10:30 p.m.,
and trucks from Jacks
Towing were maneuver-
ing in place to tow away
the disabled vehicles.
In Wilkes-Barre, Mayor
Tom Leighton and Fire
Chief Jay Delaney were
at Solomon Creek on
Waller Street as of 9:30
p.m., surveying the sta-
tus. Crews were in a
holding pattern as of
9:50 p.m., getting people
and equipment in place
in case bridges needed to
be closed.
Bekanich said he was
not aware of any streams
or creeks extending
beyond their banks,
except for a tiny creek
near Frederick and
Blackman streets in
Wilkes-Barre.
Heavy rain and winds
also caused problems
in southern Luzerne
County. A tree fell on
two vehicles on state

NEW YORK Anthony Bennett
became the rst Canadian No. 1
overall pick, and Nerlens Noel tum-
bled out of the top ve and right into
a trade in a surprising start to an
unsettled NBA draft.
One of the favorites to be taken
rst Thursday night, Noel fell to No.
6, where the New Orleans Pelicans
took him and then dealt his rights
to the Philadelphia 76ers for a pack-
age headlined by All-Star guard Jrue
Holiday, according to a person famil-
iar with the details.
The Cleveland Cavaliers started
things by passing on centers Noel
and Alex Len, who went to Phoenix
at No. 5, in favor Bennett, the UNLV
freshman forward who starred for
Canadas junior national teams and
was the Mountain West Conference
freshman of the year.
Im just as surprised as anyone
else, Bennett said.
There was suspense right until the
end, either because the Cavs were
unsure who they wanted or were try-
ing to trade the pick. Most predic-
tions had them taking one of the big
men, with Noel largely considered
the favorite for the No. 1 choice even
after a torn ACL that ended his lone
season at Kentucky in February.
I thought everything was in the
air, so I wasnt thinking I was the No.
1 pick, Noel said.
David Stern, booed heavily in his
nal draft as commissioner, added to
the surprise of the moment by paus-
ing slightly before announcing the
Cavs pick, their rst at No. 1 since
taking All-Star Kyrie Irving in 2011.
Orlando passed on both of the big
men, too, going with Indiana swing-
man Victor Oladipo with the No. 2
pick. Washington took Otto Porter
Jr. with the third pick, keeping the
Georgetown star in town.
Ten years after the Cavaliers select-
ed LeBron James to start a draft that
would include future NBA champion-
ship teammates Dwyane Wade and
Chris Bosh in the top ve, this one
lacked star power and perhaps even
the promise of stardom.
Bennett, Noel and Len are all com-
ing off injuries and couldnt even
work out for teams, but the Cavs
decided Bennetts shoulder surgery
wasnt enough cause for concern.
Len walked up to meet Stern and
collect his orange Suns hat, then sat
down near the stage to put on the

The instructions were
so simple it makes you
wonder what part
of just shut up
Alex Rodriguez
didnt understand.
Yankees GM
Brian Cashmans
directive the other
day was calibrat-
ed for maximum
effect, sure. He
knew exactly what
he was doing. Its
why he tucked a
profanity in the
middle.
But Cashman also
knows better than anyone
that for better or worse
probably worse, and
certainly for the foresee-
able future the ball
club and A-Rod are stuck
with each other. Bottom
line, all he asked for at the
moment was a little peace
and quiet.
Like the majority of
Yankee fans and just about
everybody else up and
down the clubs chain of
command, Cashman prob-
ably wishes A-Rod would
just retire, preferably to
a mountain-top retreat.
Or else beg for a
trade, maybe to
Rodriguezs home-
town Marlins, but
ideally to a ball club
on the other side of
world, say Japan or
Korea.
But Cashman
cant do a thing
about it.
Rodriguez has a
surgically repaired
hip and a legally
binding contract. The
Yankees desperately need
more offense, especially
with Mark Teixeira now
out for the rest of the
season with a bum wrist
and Rodriguezs replace-
ments at third hitting a
combined .240, with just
four homers and 23 RBIs
through Wednesday.

LONDON Novak Djokovic and
Serena Williams restored a semblance
of order to this wild Wimbledon.
A day after Roger Federer led a
mass exodus of high-seeded players
and favorites, the top-ranked man and
woman sailed past the wave of upsets
and advanced to the third round with
straight-set victories.
Djokovic defeated American qualier
Bobby Reynolds 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-1 under
the retractable roof on Centre Court. A
few hours earlier, Williams dismissed
19-year-old Caroline Garcia of France
6-3, 6-2.
In fact, after Wednesdays nonstop
string of stunners, there wasnt a sur-
prise to be had at the All England Club.
The highest-seeded player to lose was
No. 17 Milos Raonic of Canada, and
there were just two injury retirements
compared with seven Wednesday.
Instead, there was the familiar sight
of covers being pulled over the courts
as rain came to the All England Club
for the rst time this week, forcing the
roof to close and a number of afternoon
matches to be suspended until today.
With Rafael Nadal and Federer
knocked out in the rst three days,
Djokovic also faced surprisingly stiff
resistance from Reynolds in the rst
set. However, he dominated the tie-
breaker and had little trouble from
there, breaking Reynolds twice in the
second and third sets.
I think the fact that the top players
lost in the last few days gives enough
reason for all of us to not underesti-
mate any opponent, Djokovic said.
Everybody, especially lower ranked
players in the opening rounds, have
nothing to lose really when they go on
the center stage and they come up with
their best game.
In the process, Djokovic made this
the worst Wimbledon for American
men in 101 years. Reynolds loss means
none of the 11 American men in the
tournament advanced past the second
round, the rst time thats happened
since 1912. There were no American
men in the tournament that year,

NFL criminal cases put focus on vetting
Barry Wilner
AP Pro Football Writer
Two felony charges in one day were more
than a bump in the NFLs offseason. They
pointed to an ongoing problem for the league
players who wind up at the center of crim-
inal cases.
Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was
arrested Tuesday in Massachusetts, accused
of murdering his friend Odin Lloyd. Also
Tuesday, Browns rookie linebacker Ausar
Walcott was charged with attempted murder
in New Jersey.
Both players were cut later in the day by
their teams. On Wednesday, the league said
any club that now wants to sign Hernandez
will face a hearing with Commissioner Roger
Goodell rst.
The question now is whether the veteran
tight end and the rookie should have been in
the league at all.
It is difcult, its always a balancing act,
says Tony Dungy, who won a Super Bowl
as Colts coach and has served as a mentor
to players since leaving the NFL, including
Michael Vick after the quarterback served
federal prison time for dogghting. The
league has a security department that sends
out information, and every team is different
in terms of how much its scouting depart-
ment does and what areas are concentrated
on most.
Its really a matter of what you do with the
Matthews setting
sights onAmateur
Nick Wagner
For The Times Leader
With only one shot,
it seemed as if Brandon
Matthews was going to
write a new chapter in his
already impressive biog-
raphy.
The Pittston Area grad,
now Temple University
standout golfer, saw his
dreams of making the
113th United States Open
Golf Championship slip
away at sectional quali-
fying in Purchase, N.Y.,
two weeks ago. But that
was after he made one of
the prettiest shots a golf
course can see.
The Golf Channel was
talking about it for days.
And Twitter? Well that
social networking site
just blew up with reaction
to Matthews remarkable
chip-in on his nal hole to
save par. That seemed to
put the Dupont native on
a one-way train to Merion
Golf Club in Ardmore.
It was very hard to
describe, Matthews said
of his hole out on the nal
hole. Its something you
feel a couple times in your
life, maybe. To replicate
that shot is like one in a
million.
He held the clinching
spot for only about 20
minutes.
And as the game of
golf goes, things can
quickly change. Gavin
For A-Rod,
shutting up
is hard to do

Its certainly a rather lack-luster card, but pretty
much to be expected leading into an otherwise out-
standing weekend of racing. Tomorrow night is Sun
Stakes Saturday, with a sixteen race program set to
take place on what should be a fabulous night of racing.
Dont forget the free beach towel give-away tomorrow
as well. Then on Sunday the stars of tomorrow will be
hitting the track for six divisions of the PA All Stars
for two-year old pacing colts & geldings and throw in
three division of the PA All Stars for three-year old lly
trotters for good measure and we have just a tremen-

Ha-Neul Kimleads
USWomens Open
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y.
-- South Koreas Ha-Neul
Kim upstaged friend
Inbee Park to take the
rst-round lead at her rst
U.S. Womens Open.
Kim shot a bogey-free
6-under 66 on Thursday at
Sebonack to lead Park by
a stroke. The top-ranked
Park is trying to make his-
tory by winning the rst
three majors of the year.
Currently a member of
the KLPGA Tour, Kim is
a seven-time winner in
South Korea. She kept
giving herself short birdie
putts and making them.
Kim birdied her second-
to-last hole with daylight
waning to claim the lead
after Park held it for most
of the day with her 67 in
the morning session.
No player has won the
rst three majors in a
season with at least four
majors. The 2008 U.S.
Womens Open champion,
Park has already won ve
times this year, including
her last two tournaments.
aT&T naTionaL
BETHESDA, Md.
Roberto Castro took
the rst-round lead in
the AT&T National at
Congressional, shooting a
5-under 66 on the difcult
course that has hosted
three U.S. Opens.
Winless on the PGA
Tour, Castro made three
straight birdies late in his
round with a 20-foot putt,
a perfect 3-wood into a
par 5 and a chip-in.
Only a dozen players
shot in the 60s and the
average score was just
over 73, despite cloud
cover for most of the day
leading to soft conditions
and only a light wind.
Billy Horschel, who tied
for fourth in the U.S. Open
two weeks ago at Merion,
began his day with a
50-foot birdie putt, added
a pair of birdies over the
next three holes and then
hung on for a 68. That was
the best score among the
early starters.
senior PLaYers
PITTSBURGH John
Huston shot a 5-under
65 to take the rst-round
lead in the Senior Players
Championship, the third
of the Champions Tours
ve majors.
Huston started on
No. 10 and was even
par halfway through his
round before making a
big move on the front
nine at soggy Fox Chapel.
Huston shot 5-under 30
coming in, including four
birdies and an eagle on
the short par-4 seventh.
The 52-year-old Huston
missed three months this
season because of lower
back problems.
Fred Couples, Duffy
Waldorf, Fred Funk
and Russ Cochran were
a stroke back. Colin
Montgomerie had a 69
in his Champions Tour
debut. The start of play
was delayed nearly ve
hours because of heavy
rain.
irish oPen
MAYNOOTH, Ireland
Saying hes feeling
a bit lost in a difcult
year, Rory McIlroy shot
a 2-over 74 in the Irish
Open to fall eight strokes
behind rst-round leader
Oscar Floren.
The second-ranked
McIlroy, from Northern
Ireland, had four bogeys
and two birdies in wet
and overcast conditions
at Carton House. Floren,
from Sweden, had a
6-under 66.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. Just
after Walter Ibarra singled
in the go-ahead run, heavy
rain wasted the whole
game away.
The Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre RailRiders series
opener at Syracuse was
suspended in the middle of
the fourth inning Tuesday.
The RailRiders held a 2-1
lead over the Sky Chiefs
when play was halted.
Ibarra roped a line drive
to left eld that allowed
Brent Lillibridge to give
the RailRiders the lead
in the top of the fourth
inning.
In just four innings,
Scranton/Wi l kes- Barre
left 15 runners on base.
After the rst three bat-
ters of the game walked,
the RailRiders managed
to get only one run when
Randy Ruiz grounded into
a double play. Thomas
Neal hit into a double play
to leave the bases loaded
again in the third.
Caleb Cotham allowed
one run and three hits in
three innings of work. The
game will resume today at
5 p.m. before the regularly
scheduled 7 p.m. start in
Syracuse. It will pick up in
the bottom of the fourth
and go a full nine innings.

NEW YORK If Phil Hughes was
pitching to save his spot in the New
York Yankees rotation, then his lat-
est outing probably helped him. If
he was trying to salvage the teams
shaky homestand, then he fell short.
Derek Holland outdueled Hughes,
tossing a two-hitter and leading the
Texas Rangers to a 2-0 win Thursday.
With Ivan Nova looking for a
starting role and Michael Pineda
rehabbing in the minors, Hughes
job could well be in jeopardy.
Manager Joe Girardi didnt go that
far in assessing the future before the
game, and liked what he saw.
I thought he was really good,
Girardi said.
We know hes capable of doing
it. Weve seen it before, he said.
Hughsie wants to pitch. He wants
the ball every fifth day, and he went
out and got it done today.
Hughes (3-7) allowed two runs
and five hits in eight innings, strik-
ing out five and walking one. Hed
gotten seven days rest since the Los
Angeles Dodgers tagged him, and
was pushed back to accommodate
other pitchers.
Hughes fell to 1-5 with a 5.19 ERA
in his last eight starts only once
have the Yankees scored more than
two runs in those games.
Not that Hughes, a former All-Star
who turned 27 this week, was com-
plaining.
Trust me. Ive had plenty of
runs scored in the past, he said.
Sometimes youre going to go
through stretches when its not
there. And we, as pitchers, have to
do a better job keeping us in the
game.
Jurickson Profar homered and
scored twice, while fellow rookie
Engel Beltre got two hits in his first
big league start.
The 20-year-old Profar connected
in the fifth inning and made it 2-0.
The home run I gave up, maybe
guys feel like theyre pressing when
its two runs instead of one. You
never know, Hughes said.
The Yankees went 4-5 on their
homestand against the Dodgers,
Tampa Bay and Texas.
Struggling right now. We talked
about that a little bit, Girardi said.
Texas went home leading the AL
West after going 5-1 on its swing to
St. Louis and Yankee Stadium.
Holland (6-4) threw his sixth
career shutout it was the lowest-
hit shutout by a visiting Rangers
pitcher against the Yankees since
the Texas franchise moved from
Washington for the 1972 season.
Holland did more
than give the bullpen a
break. He also spared
the Rangers a possible
inconvenient return to
the Bronx a huge rain-
storm was due later in the
afternoon, and Texas isnt
scheduled to play in New
York again this season.
The 26-year-old lefty
struck out struck seven,
walked two and didnt per-
mit a hit after the third
inning.
He was in complete
command in a 92-pitch
performance, throwing a
sharp slider for strikes,
and won for the first time
in five starts.
Holland began the game
at 0-5 with an 8.85 ERA
against the Yankees in reg-
ular-season play. He had
shown a glimmer of suc-
cess, however, going 1-0
and throwing 5 2-3 shut-
out innings against them
in the 2010 AL champion-
ship series.
I havent had great
success against these
guys, he said. Theyve
destroyed me.
Angels 3, Tigers 1
DETROIT Albert
Pujols hit a tiebreaking
double in the 10th inning
and the Los Angeles
Angels beat Detroit for
their ninth straight vic-
tory over the Tigers.
Mike Trout had four
hits and was in the middle
of the decisive rally for the
Angels, who completed a
three-game sweep. Jered
Weaver pitched seven
strong innings in a tight
duel with Detroit right-
hander Doug Fister.
J.B. Shuck singled lead-
ing off the 10th against
Phil Coke (0-5) and went
to third on Trouts single
to right field.
Pujols sent a drive to
deep center, where Austin
Jackson tried to make a
difficult catch with his
back to home plate.
The ball tipped off the webbing
of Jacksons glove, hit the wall and
trickled to the ground.
After an intentional walk to
Howie Kendrick loaded the bases,
Josh Hamilton made it 3-1 with a
sacrifice fly.
Cubs 7, Brewers 2
MILWAUKEE Matt Garza
struck out 10 in seven solid innings
and Dioner Navarro hit a three-run
homer, sending the Chicago Cubs
to a 7-2 victory over the Milwaukee
Brewers on Thursday.
Garza (3-1) had his third consecu-
tive strong outing. The right-hander
allowed one run on eight hits and a
walk while throwing 101 pitches.
Garza, who can become a free
agent after the season, is expected
to be one of the top pitchers avail-
able on the trade market as the July
31 non-waiver deadline approaches.
The Cubs broke the game open
with four runs in the third, capped
by Navarros seventh homer.
Milwaukee made a pair of errors
and all the runs in the inning off
Wily Peralta (5-9) were unearned.

Larry Bird talks about returning as thepresident of basketball operations for the Indiana Pacers in
Indianapolis. Bird had held the job from 2003 until 2012. He returns to the position Monday.
Michael Marot
AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS Larry Bird is
bringing a new perspective to the
Pacers.
After watching from afar as the
team he rebuilt reached the Eastern
Conference nals for the rst time in
nine years and came within one victory
of dethroning NBA champion Miami,
Bird thinks he has a pretty good idea
what it will take to lead Indiana to its
rst league title.
My dreams, my goals are set pretty
high, he said after being reintroduced
as the teams president of basketball
operations Thursday. I know how hard
it is to win a championship. Its tough.
But when you have guys who stick
together, who play together, who share
the basketball and care about one anoth-
er, its a hell of a start.
It didnt take Bird long to provide a
glimpse of what might be different this
time around.
While he concurred with his succes-
sor and predecessor Donnie Walsh and
general manager Kevin Pritchard that
the teams top offseason priority is to re-
sign free agent David West the power
forward Bird signed two years ago to
toughen up the team the blunt-talk-
ing Bird explained hes ready to improve
the teams bench play.
Thats something fans complained
about long and often all season.
Walsh and others inside the organiza-
tion didnt exactly see things the same
way.
When Walsh last took questions at
a season-ending news conference two
weeks ago, the soon-to-be reassigned
team consultant said the bench essen-
tially performed in the playoffs about as
well as the front ofce expected.
Bird want to changes things up.
One glaring need that I see is our
bench, he said. The bench didnt step
up and play as well as we expected, so
we have to upgrade that area and we
dont have a lot of money, so well have
to be creative.
Ofcially, he wont start working until
Monday.
Clearly, though, the only man to win
the leagues awards for MVP, coach of
the year and executive of the year knows
his stuff.
He won three NBA titles as a player,
and as Indianas coach, led the Pacers
to their only nals appearance in 2000.
He retired after that season because of
health problems, then returned to the
Pacers front ofce in 2003. Bird worked
alongside Walsh for the rst ve years
before assuming control in 2008 when
Walsh left for New York.
All Bird did since then was lay the
groundwork to rebuild a team that had
been reeling since the brawl in Detroit
and Reggie Millers retirement, creating
the foundation for one of the leagues
younger teams to become a legitimate
title contender.
Bird happy to be back
in Pacers nest
although none reached the third
round in 1911 either.
Reynolds said he hadnt real-
ized he was playing to avoid a
historic slump.
I dont feel like Im carry-
ing the U.S. ag, Im the lone
guy left, Reynolds said. I just
happened to play the last match
on today, so I actually wasnt
aware of it at all.
Williams is still the favorite
in the womens draw, however,
and will now go from playing an
opponent 12 years her junior to
facing one 11 years her senior.
Next up for the 31-year-old
American is Japans Kimiko
Date-Krumm, who at 42 became
the oldest woman to reach the
third round at Wimbledon in
the Open era. Date-Krumm beat
Alexandra Cadantu of Romania
6-4, 7-5 to advance this far at
Wimbledon for the rst time
since 1996, when she went to
the seminals.
I have so much respect for
her, said Williams, who herself
became the third-oldest woman
in the Open era to win a Grand
Slam tournament when she cap-
tured this years French Open.
I think shes so inspiring to be
playing such high level tennis at
her age. And shes a real danger
on the grass court, I know that. I
denitely will have to be ready.
Date-Krumm is the second-
oldest woman to have won
a match at Wimbledon after
Martina Navratilova, who was
47 when she reached the sec-
ond round in 2004. She took a
12-year break from tennis before
returning in 2008.
I dont know how shes able
to do so well, said Williams,
adding she doesnt expect to be
around for another 10 years. I
didnt see myself playing at 31. I
denitely do not see myself play-
ing at 42.
Age certainly doesnt seem to
be slowing her down.
Williams broke twice in each
set to extend her career-best
winning streak to 33 matches as
she aims for a sixth Wimbledon
title. Her two main rivals,
Maria Sharapova and Victoria
Azarenka, were among those
eliminated Wednesday.
Last years runner-up,
Agnieszka Radwanska, also
breezed into the next round
with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Mathilde
Johansson of France, which had
to be completed under the roof.
In the mens draw, seventh-
seeded Tomas Berdych and No. 8
Juan-Martin Del Potro advanced
in straight sets. Berdych, the
2010 runner-up, beat Daniel
Brands of Germany 7-6 (6), 6-4,
6-2. Del Potro rallied from a
break down in the second set to
oust Jesse Levine of Canada 6-3,
7-6 (7), 6-3.
Fourth-seeded David Ferrer
was among those who will wait
until Friday to play, as his match
against fellow Spaniard Roberto
Bautista Agut was postponed.
A back-and-forth ve-setter
between No. 29 Grigor Dimitrov
and Grega Zemlja was suspend-
ed overnight, with Zemlja up 9-8
in the fth.
No. 6 Li Na of China looked
in trouble for a while before
overcoming a poor second
set to beat Simona Halep of
Romania 6-2, 1-6, 6-0. Other
seeded players to win included
No. 11 Roberta Vinci and No.
14 Samantha Stosur. Bernard
Tomic of Australia advanced by
defeating American James Blake
6-3, 6-4, 7-5. Tomics father and
coach, John Tomic, is barred
from tournaments after alleg-
edly assaulting his sons hitting
partner.
The two injury retirements
were Michael Llodra, who quit
with a hamstring problem after
losing the rst set 7-5 against
23rd-seeded Andreas Seppi of
Italy, and Paul-Henri Mathieu,
who retired while trailing 6-3,
5-1 against Feliciano Lopez of
Spain.
The nine retirements or walk-
overs of the second round in sin-
gles play broke the record for a
round at Wimbledon in the Open
era. The International Tennis
Federation said eight players
quit in the rst round in 2008.
It equaled the record for a
Grand Slam tournament, as nine
players withdrew or retired from
the rst round at the 2011 U.S.
Open.

planned, and manages at age 38 to put
up marginally better numbers than
those, the job will still be his. Thats
assuming that he doesnt get sus-
pended, despite being tied to a now-
shuttered, anti-aging clinic in Miami
being investigated for dispensing per-
formance-enhancing drugs.
Its hardly a good solution, but right
now its the only one. The Yankees are
committed to paying Rodriguez him
$28 million this year, and $86 million
more through 2017. Dumb as that deal
looks now, A-Rod makes it look even
dumber every time he calls attention
to himself.
After benching him through last
years playoffs, the Yankees told
Rodriguez to focus more on baseball
in the offseason than celebrity. But
A-Rod couldnt resist. Barely a week
later, he was spied escorting former
WWE wrestler and girlfriend-of-the-
moment Torrie Wilson around Beverly
Hills, checking out pricey real estate.
Next he opened a Twitter account
and added another publicist or two
to his already considerable stable.
Predictably, trouble soon followed.
Rodriguez early posts were about
things most people already knew, with
the occasional exclamation point to
make it feel more like real news: First
time facing live pitching today
Simulated game yesterday nice to
see real game pitching action!
So, presumably, when a team doctor
cleared A-Rod to begin playing real
games, he simply treated it as more
of the same: Visit from Dr. Kelly over
the weekend, who gave me the best
news the green light to play games
again!
Cashman could have reacted by
picking up the phone and directing
Rodriguez to the appropriate pages in
the handbook regarding how injuries
are reported. As manager Joe Girardi
reminded him after Tuesday nights
game, It goes through our training
staff, our doctors, our GM and then it
probably gets to me.
A day later, Rodriguez picked up the
phone and spoke with Cashman and
team president Randy Levine for 30
minutes.
Everybody is on the same page
and were all going to communicate
and work together to get Alex back as
quickly as possible, Yankees spokes-
man Jason Zillo said. Theyre all back
on track.
Except they werent.
Instead of letting the whole thing
end there, someone inside A-Rods
camp told ESPN.com that Rodriguez
doesnt feel the club really wants him
back. Thats likely true. But unlike
Rodriguez, and unlike all the past
attempts to publicly shame their over-
priced asset, the Yankees said little.
Cashmans terse just shut up was
revealing for just how annoyed hes
become, but more than that, it was
advice that A-Rod do the same.
By coincidence, Yankee cap-
tain Derek Jeter took another step
Thursday in his own long rehabilita-
tion from a broken ankle. Rodriguez
has always suffered in the comparison
with Jeter, and so it was one more
time.
Part of the rehab process involves a
minor-league assignment, and when
reporters asked the date it would
begin, all Jeter said was, As soon as I
can get out there, Ill get out there. We
havent got that far yet.
Not that hard, is it?

Hall, a three-time New
York Junior Amateur
Champion, was the one
player that could catch
him. And he did by card-
ing birdies on the nal
four holes to get his spot
in the U.S. Open.
Matthews and Hall
each played the last four
holes of the qualier at
4-under. But it was the
birdie on Halls nal hole
that sent him to the Open,
not Matthews.
I watched the last
hole, Matthews said. I
watched him birdie and
told him congratulations.
Hes a great kid and he
deserves what he got.
Following the heart-
break in Purchase,
Matthews settled for rst
alternate after rounds of
72 at Old Oaks Country
Club and 67 at Century
for a 2-under-par 139.
He got hot at Century,
where he went 5-under
par (three birdies and
an eagle) on holes six
through 10. His 58-degree
wedge did all the talking
on the nal hole. But it
wasnt enough.
I pulled off probably
one of the best shots of
my life, he said. The sit-
uation and the pressure.
That chip was literally to
make the United States
Open Championship, at
the time.
Hall missed the cut at
the U.S. Open by three
strokes after rounds of
74 and 77. And Matthews
was surprised by the dif-
culty professionals were
having with the storied
golf club.
Merion was playing its
hardest. With rough cov-
ering the players shoes
and fairways tighter than
a single lane highway,
Justin Rose captured the
championship at 1-over
par after his Ben Hogan-
esque shot on the 72nd
hole. Rose eclipsed Phil
Mickelson to win his rst
major championship at
one of the most difcult
tracks the United States
Golf Association has ever
revealed.
I though a guy would
get hot and and go at least
three or four under, he
said. That last stretch of
holes might be the tough-
est in the world.
Although Matthews
was left with an alternate
spot at Merion, he was
still there, soaking up
everything he could from
some of the greatest play-
ers in the world.
To see how those guys
hit, the biggest thing I got
out of it was I think I can
do it, Matthews said. I
think I belong out there. I
think I can hang.
The next stop on
Matthews roller-
coaster ride will be the
United States Amateur
Championship. That pits
about 300 amateur golf-
ers in two days of stroke
play. Then, the top 64
play a match-play format,
culminating in a 36-hole
championship match.
The U.S. Amateur
Championship begins
Aug. 12 at The Country
Club in Brookline, Mass.
I consider myself a
descent match-play player
rather than stroke play,
Matthews said. I think I
can fair pretty well.
The Atlantic 10 Rookie
of the Year still has some
time before deciding on
turning professional.
Before that, he will look
to defend his title with
teammate Rick Laneski
at the John A. Allan
Invitational, which starts
today at Fox Hill Country
Club.
Hopefully (the tour)
will be my ofce in a
couple years, he said.
Getting the taste makes
me want more. Ill work
harder to get to that posi-
tion and be with those
guys day in and day out.
Matthews

the information and what your organiza-
tion feels is important. One thing you
have to keep in mind is a lot of the (neg-
ative) things that happen come when
they are 15 or 17 or 19 years old.
According to FBI statistics cited by
the league, the incidence of NFL players
getting arrested is much lower than in
the general public.
The average annual arrest rate of
NFL players is roughly 2 percent of
about 3,000 players who go through the
league each year, including tryouts and
minicamps. Thats about half the arrest
rate of the general U.S. population, the
league says. The NFL notes the dispar-
ity becomes even more dramatic when
the group is narrowed to American men
ages 20-34.
But Jeff Benedict, author of several
books on athletes and crimes, includ-
ing Pros and Cons, The Criminals Who
Play In The NFL, believes the FBI sta-
tistics are a bad gauge.
The danger of doing comparisons
with the general public is, if you look
at these people and their backgrounds,
how many of those guys who have been
arrested in the FBI numbers have been
to college, make a lot of money like NFL
players do, and live in safe, good neigh-
borhoods? Benedict says. The issue
is why any of these guys are doing this
when they have all these good things
going on in their lives.
The San Diego Union-Tribune, which
has tracked NFL arrests more serious
than speeding tickets dating back to
2000, has listed 36 this year, including
Hernandez and Walcott and three play-
ers who were charged twice.
By comparison, the NBA says six play-
ers of its players have been arrested since
last July 1, and Major League Baseball
says its aware of three cases this year
worse than a speeding ticket: two DUIs
and a misdemeanor drug charge.
While granting that NFL rosters are
far bigger than those in the NBA or
MLB, Benedict says, You cant take
these tiny snap shots and say the NFL
is low.

Kansas guard Ben

class, the draft promised
confusion and second-

ans soaked up the spot-
light in the hours leading
up to it.

biggest news.

Howard was unlikely to

CHICAGO Bryan Bickell looks
around and sees Jonathan Toews,
Patrick Kane and the rest of a good
young nucleus. He likes Chicago, and
the Blackhawks are the only NHL team
he has ever known.
He is looking forward to the celebra-
tion today for the Blackhawks Stanley
Cup title, and he wants more.
Bickell is eligible for unrestricted free
agency and could cash in after coming
up with a big postseason despite play-
ing the last series against Boston with
a sprained right knee that raised ques-
tions about if he would be able to play at
all against the Bruins. But the 27-year-
old Bickell, drafted by Chicago in 2004,
wants to remain with the Blackhawks
and says he is open to giving the team a
discount in order to stay.
That hometown discount, I think
a lot of players that would (take) and
theres a lot of players have took it on
our team to play for this team because
its a great team, Bickell said Thursday.
We have a great core of guys and we
won two Cups in four years and theres
going to be many more to come, and Im
willing to do it because its fun and win-
ning is fun.
With the salary cap dropping to
$64.3 million next season, it looked as
if Bickell might have priced himself out
of the Blackhawks reach after he had
nine goals and eight assists in the post-
season. The nine goals matched Patrick
Kane for second on the team and his 17
points were second only to 19 for Kane,
who won the Conn Smythe Trophy
awarded to the MVP of the NHL play-
offs.
Bickell provided a physical presence
in front of the net that proved crucial in
the march to the Stanley Cup, especially
in the last two rounds against the Kings
and Bruins. He had the tying goal with
1:16 left in the third period of Chicagos
3-2 win in Boston on Monday night that
clinched the title.
Were going to do whatever it takes
to keep me here, said Bickell, from
Bowmanville, Ontario. I enjoy this city.
I think this is a second home to me.
Thats music to the ears of general man-
ager Stan Bowman, who has talked to
Bickells agent, Todd Diamond, about a
new deal. Bowman said the team wants
to bring Bickell back and theyre trying
to gure it out.
We are trying to make something
work for Bryan to remain with the
Blackhawks, Diamond said in an email
to The Associated Press. It is much
simpler in theory than in practice in a
diminishing cap environment.Plunging
right into a short offseason with the
draft coming up on Sunday and free
agency set to start on July 5, Bowman
announced that the Blackhawks plan
to buy out the contracts of defense-
man Steve Montador and forward
Rostislav Olesz. Montador and Olesz
did not appear in a game this season
for Chicago. Also Thursday, as the
Blackhawks continued their recov-
ery from a bruising series against the
Bruins and days worth of impromptu
parties across the city: Forward Marian
Hossa said he might need further treat-
ment for the back issue that shelved him
for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup nals.
One possible option is surgery, which
could have a dramatic effect on the
Blackhawks offseason.
Asked if winning the Stanley Cup was
worth it given all his injuries over the
past couple years, Hossa didnt hesitate.
Its well worth it right now, he said.
Viktor Stalberg kept the door open for a
possible return to Chicago after he was
in and out of the lineup during the play-
offs, and Bowman sounded determined
to keep defenseman Nick Leddy after
he struggled at times against Boston.
Stalberg, a speedy forward who is eli-
gible for unrestricted free agency, said
he is looking for consistent playing time
and thinks he deserves it after scoring
43 goals and adding 47 assists over the
past three seasons.
I dont know at this point, he said
when asked about coming back to the
Blackhawks. Well see what happens.
Leddy, who played in every game this
year, is a restricted free agent and could
receive an offer sheet from another
team. He has three NHL seasons under
his belt and just turned 22 in March.
Were not letting Nick go, Bowman
said. Were going to keep him here.
Im not concerned about offer sheets.

TAMPA, FLA. Yankees
shortstop Derek Jeter has taken
another stride in his comeback
from a broken left ankle by run-
ning outdoors for the rst time
in two months.
Jeter started the running pro-
gram Thursday at Steinbrenner
Field and called it the last step
before playing in minor league
games. The Yankees captain
hopes to run the bases soon.
Everything is good, Jeter
said. No problems whatsoever.
Ive done everything else. Its a
constant progression.
There is no date yet for Jeter to
begin a minor league injury reha-
bilitation assignment.
As soon as I can get out there,
Ill get out there, Jeter said. We
havent got that far yet. Jeter has
been taking batting practice and
elding grounders. The 13-time
All-Star hasnt played this sea-
son after breaking his ankle in
the playoffs last October and
having surgery. Another fracture
was discovered during his rst
rehab in April. After the work-
out, which was moved due to
wet grounds, Jeter drove team-
mate Alex Rodriguez back to the
Yankees minor league complex
from nearby Steinbrenner Field.
Rodriguez is rehabbing following
hip surgery in January.
Jeter said of course when
asked if Rodriguez will be a pro-
ductive player when he rejoins
the Yankees. Jeter added there is
no way he can be a distraction
to us. The status of A-Rods
rehabilitation, however, became
a point of contention this week.
The star third baseman post-
ed Tuesday evening on Twitter
that his hip surgeon had cleared
him to play in rehab games, a
move that angered general man-
ager Brian Cashman because
Rodriguez has not been cleared
by team doctors yet.
Why would he be a distrac-
tion? Jeter said. You guys may
be a distraction to him, if you ask
him questions. Ive never seen
how someone could be a distrac-
tion to a team because we dont
have to deal with it.
Rodriguez continued to take
simulated at-bats.He looked
good, Jeter said. Alex works
extremely hard. Hes working
hard now to get back.
Rodriguez did not stop to talk
with reporters when he left the
complex.
The Yankees expect both to
return to the active roster after
the All-Star break.

NEW YORK Landon Donovan is getting a chance to earn
back his spot on the U.S. national team.
The three-time World Cup veteran was picked Thursday for
the 23-man roster for next months CONCACAF Gold Cup and
can end an absence of nearly 11 months.
Defender Oguchi Onyewu, who hasnt played an international
match in more than a year, also was selected. But U.S. coach
Jurgen Klinsmann omitted Carlos Bocanegra. The U.S. captain
at the 2010 World Cup, Bocanegra was among 12 players cut
from the preliminary roster announced May 31.
Forward Jack McInerney, tied for the Major League Soccer
lead with 10 goals, and defender Corey Ashe could make their
national team debuts. U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann gets a month
to evaluate his extended player pool two months before World
Cup qualifying resumes and less than a year before the start the
2014 tournament in Brazil.
The race is on. The Gold Cup is a huge opportunity for all the
players to make a very, very strong statement, Klinsmann said
during a telephone conference call. This is the moment now to
shine. This is the moment to step it up.
A 31-year-old forward, Donovan has an American-record 49
international goals but hasnt played for the U.S. since the 1-0
exhibition win at Mexico on Aug. 15.
Were just curious to see how he picks up the rhythm, how he
picks up the speed and tempo and all his elements, Klinsmann
said.
At rst sidelined by hamstring and knee injuries last fall,
Donovan took a four-month sabbatical to contemplate his career
and returned to the Los Angeles Galaxy in late March.
Its an opportunity Ive been waiting for, so I want to take
advantage of it, Donovan said at Galaxy practice. I dont want
to worry about what happens in the future, but I want to do my
best in this tournament. This tournament historically has meant
a lot to our team. It means a lot to me, and I want to win the
tournament. And I want to be part of something special at the
end of this month.
Bocanegra, who turned 34 last month, has not appeared for
the U.S. since a November exhibition at Russia.
It looks like today he is going to leave Racing Santander, and
he is in the middle of making up his mind of where he wants to
go, Klinsmann said. We simply agreed to leave him out of that
roster in order for him to have all options open to join a new
team right away from the start in preseason and not come in
kind of late.
The 32-year-old Onyewu made just two league appearances
and nine overall for Malaga last season. He has not played for
the U.S. since the opening qualier against Antigua and Barbuda
in June last year.
Klinsmann bypassed most of his Europe-based regulars, who
are on vacation before their 2013-14 club seasons.
Six players cut saw time during three World Cup qualiers in
June: defenders Matt Besler, Brad Evans and Omar Gonzalez;
midelders Brad Davis and Graham Zusi; and forward Eddie
Johnson.
Also cut were goalkeeper Tally Hall; midelders Benny
Feilhaber and Brek Shea; and forwards Alan Gordon and Bobby
Wood. As many as four of the dropped players can be added to
the active roster after the group stage.
Ten players on the roster are from MLS, seven from European
clubs and six from Mexican teams. Left back DaMarcus Beasley
is the only player on the roster who started in this months quali-
ers.
The Americans play Guatemala in an exhibition at San Diego
on July 5, then open the Gold Cup against Belize at Portland,

PORTO VECCHIO,
Corsica Two-time cham-
pion Alberto Contador pre-
dicts an action-packed Tour
de France in his comeback
year, insisting hes motivat-
ed to defeat Chris Froome
even while playing down
talk of a two-man race.
The Spaniard returns to
cyclings greatest race this
weekend after missing last
year and being stripped
of his 2010 Tour title for
doping. Contador, who
hasnt shown signs of his
one-time domination since
then, said on Thursday hes
right where he wants to be
in pre-Tour preparations.
Cycling experts are
expecting a two-man race
between Contador and
Froome, who excel in
mountain climbs that fea-
ture heavily in this 100th
Tour. Saxo Bank team
leader Contador noted the
strong performance this
year by the Kenyan-born
Briton, who won four of
the ve races he started.
I would have no moti-
vation to be here if I
thought I couldnt beat
him, Contador said in
Porto Vecchio, Corsica,
where the three-week race
starts on Saturday, mark-
ing its debut on the French
Mediterranean island.
Contador also sought to
downplay talk of a two-
man race.
This year wont just
be the story of two riders;
well have more actors in
this lm, he said.
He added, his key tactics
will largely take shape after
the second individual time
trial on July 17 before of
the Alps.
Depending on the over-
all (standings), the tactic
will be more aggressive
or more conservative, he
said. But in any case, this
year will see more action
that in past years.
Bradley Wiggins of
Britain, the 2012 winner
and a Team Sky teammate
of Froome, is sitting out
this year due to injury.
Contador said 2011 Tour
winner Cadel Evans will
always be there in the title
hunt though some say
the Australians hopes for
a second victory might be
diminished because of his
age: 36.
Andy Schleck, who
inherited Contadors 2010
title, said this years moun-
tainous course would have
suited him under normal
circumstances.
But hes coming off a
rough year, and said: I
dont consider myself as a
favorite to win this years
edition of the Tour de
France maybe you can
say an outsider.
The Luxembourg rider
missed last years Tour
because of a lower back
injury, and his older broth-
er Frank tested positive
for a diuretic in that race
leading to a doping ban
that will keep him out this
year.
Contador pointed to his
relatively strong team this
year at Saxo Bank, includ-
ing Czech rider Roman
Kreuzinger, a two-time
top-10 nisher at the Tour,
and Australian veteran
Michael Rogers, a former
world time trial champion
and winner of the 2010
Tour of California and a
recent transfer from Team
Sky.
One question looming
over Saxo Bank was the
presence of its well-known
team boss Bjarne Riis,
the 1996 Tour champion.
Riis wasnt at Contadors
news conference, and
wasnt expected to arrive
on the Tour for a few days,
Contador said.
For me, its not very
important because we
have many directors on the
team, Contador said. Its
not important when Bjarne
arrives. He will at some
point.
This is the rst Tour
since Lance Armstrong
was stripped of his record
seven victories for doping,
which he nally admitted
to after years of denials
following a detailed report
from the U.S. Anti-Doping
Agency.
Asked about the poten-
tial fallout from the
Armstrong revelations on
fans this year, Contador
said: This is the most
important race in the world
I think its magic will
always be there.
The race spends three
days on Corsicas winding,
hilly roads then sets off
on a counterclockwise run
through mainland France
along the Mediterranean,
into the Pyrenees moun-
tains, then up to Brittany
and the fabled Mont-
Saint-Michel island cita-
del before a slashing jaunt
southeastward toward the
Alps before the Paris nish
on July 21.
Contador motivated for Tour clash against Froome

Vikings sign linebacker Desmond Bishop
Dave Campbell
AP Pro Football Writer
MINNEAPOLIS
The Minnesota Vikings
emerged from the first
phase of free agency and
then the draft, still miss-
ing a starting linebacker.
Then the Green Bay
Packers let Desmond
Bishop go, and the solu-
tion seemed so obvious.
The Vikings announced
Thursday the signing of
Bishop to a one-year con-
tract, three days after he
agreed to terms on his
deal.
Hes the latest to leave
Green Bay for Minnesota,
joining prominent play-
ers like wide receiver
Greg Jennings, safety
Darren Sharper, kicker
Ryan
Longwell and of course
quarterback Brett Favre
to recently switch states
in the post-prime stage
of their careers.
This back-and-forth
has further spiced up
the rivalry, particularly
between the ardent fol-
lowers of each team,
with Vikings fans gloat-
ing about all the suc-
cess Favre, Sharper and
Longwell enjoyed in
Minnesota and Packers
backers criticizing the
Vikings for pursuing so
many of Green Bays
aging castoffs.
Even lesser-known
guys like Robert
Ferguson, Javon Walker
and Mike Montgomery
have put on purple after
discarding their green-
and-gold jerseys over the
past decade.
The Vikings also
offered contracts to
William Henderson and
James Jones and in 2005
tried to sign restrict-
ed free agent Aaron
Kampman, the best pass-
rusher the Packers had at
the time. Green Bay kept
all of them.
Bishop became avail-
able when the Packers
released him just two
weeks ago.
He thrived during the
2010 and 2011 seasons,
playing one of the inside
linebacker spots in Green
Bays 3-4 defense.
In 2011, he had career
highs in tackles (142)
and sacks (five). But
Bishop tore his right
hamstring during an
exhibition game and
couldnt play at all in
2012.
The injury required
more than six months of
rehabilitation before he
was able to run full speed
again.
Now?
One-hundred percent
and ready to go, Bishop
said.
The seventh-year vet-
eran, however, said hes
not worried about being
rusty this season.
After watching a guy
by the name of Adrian
Peterson come back
from his torn ACL and
how well he did, I have
an extreme amount of
confidence that I can do
the same, Bishop said
on a conference call with
Minnesota reporters.
He added: Its still a
process. You have to still
build on your strength
and your endurance and
all those kind of little
things and you can never
max out on that stuff, so
Im still to this day work-
ing on trying to get as
strong as I can and I feel
really good.
Bishop said his moti-
vation to join Minnesota
was based on helping a
2012 playoff team try to
go even further this sea-
son, not revenge on his
ex-employer.
After brushing off the
significance of playing
against Green Bay, the
team that drafted him
in the sixth round in
2007, Bishop eventually
acknowledged the excite-
ment of returning to
Lambeau Field to face all
those former teammates
of his.
And to try to stop one
of the NFLs most potent
offenses.
Im just a very com-
petitive person, and
Aaron Rodgers is consid-
ered the best in my eyes
at quarterback, so itll
be a good opportunity,
Bishop said.
In addition to Bishops
health, the other yet-to-
be-answered question is
which position hell actu-
ally play.
The Vikings use a 4-3
alignment, so the mid-
dle linebacker spot isnt
exactly the same as play-
ing on the inside in the
3-4 scheme.
Chad Greenway is the
starter at the strong side,
and Erin Henderson was
the starter at the weak
side spot the last two
years. Henderson could
stay there, with Bishop
taking the middle, or
they could flip-flop.
Im not really worried
about that. Wherever
they put me. Whatever
the coaching staff sees
me fit, thats where Ill
play, Bishop said, add-
ing: Ive pretty much
played all three positions
at one time in my foot-
ball career.
To make room for
Bishop on the 90-man
roster theyll take to
training camp, the
Vikings released line-
backer Stanford Keglar.
The Vikings also pub-
licized Thursday their
practice schedule for
camp, which the Vikings
report to on July 25.
Theyll have 15 days of
open-to-the-public work-
outs at Minnesota State
University in Mankato,
with a walk-through in
the morning and a full
practice in the afternoon.
The last day of on-field
work there is Aug. 14.
Im not really worried about that. Wherever they put
me. Whatever the coaching staff sees me fit, thats
where Ill play. Ive pretty much played all three posi-
tions at one time in my football career.

HANOVER TWP.
Good visibility
and high trafc has
led an area car sell-
er to open a used
vehicle lot on the
Sans Souci Parkway
on a property once
home to Saturn of
Wyoming Valley.
The ownership
group at Pierce
Street Motors in
Kingston opened
the lot last month
but held an ofcial
grand opening more
recently.
Only a few miles
separate the two
locations. But man-
agement determined
that was enough dis-
tance to allow them
to appeal to potential
customers in other
areas who might
not have crossed the
Susquehanna River.
Employee Paul
Matreselva cited
a lack of used car
options along the
heavily traveled thor-
oughfare as one rea-
son for the opening.
Its just an area
with very good
trafc, added
Matreselva. Sans
Souci Motors offers
the same type of
vehicles and services
as its Pierce Street
counterpart, but
operates on a larger
scale. There are up
to 100 cars available
at the new location.
Staff members said
the dealership has
opted to go the used
vehicle route because
they understand
that not everyone
can afford new cars.
They said that a fully
reconditioned and
detailed pre-owned
car can be a good
alternative.
The dealership
tries to appeal to
customers further by
offering long-term
nancing with lower
down payments and
lower monthly pay-
ments, according
to Matreselva. Our
nance experts cater
based on youre situ-
ation.

WASHINGTON Average
U.S. rates on xed mortgages
surged this week to their high-
est levels in two years, and
the rate on the 30-year loan
jumped by the most in 26
years.
The increase is evidence
that the Federal Reserves
hints that it might slow its
bond purchases this year are
already affecting consumers.
And higher mortgage rates
could prompt would-be buy-
ers to act quickly on home
purchases before rates rise
further.
Mortgage buyer Freddie
Mac said Thursday that the
average on the 30-year loan
jumped to 4.46 percent. Thats
up from 3.93 percent last week
and is the highest since July
2011. The increase was also
the biggest since April 1987.
The rate on the 15-year
mortgage rose to 3.50 per-
cent from 3.04 percent last
week. Thats the highest since
August 2011.
Interest rates have jumped
after Fed Chairman Ben
Bernanke said on June 19 that
the Fed could slow its bond
purchases later this year if the
economy strengthens. Since
Bernankes comments, the
yield on the 10-year Treasury
note has risen to a two-year
high. Mortgage rates tend to
track the yield on the Treasury
note.
Mortgage rates remain low
by historical standards. In
the short run, a spike in rates
could prompt more people to
buy homes, giving the hous-
ing recovery an added boost.
Thats because would-be buy-
ers would want to lock in the
rates before they rise further.
But if rates continue to
climb, at some point buyers
might feel priced out.
The impact on buyers wal-
lets can be seen in just the last
few weeks.
One buyer locks in a 3.35
percent rate in early May on
a $200,000 mortgage and
pays $881 a month, accord-
ing to Bankrate.com. Another
buyer gets a 4.46 percent rate
this week and pays $1,008 a
month.
The difference: $127 more
a month, or $45,720 over the
lifetime of the loan. The g-
ures dont include taxes and
insurance.
The rise in rates comes a
critical time in the housing
recovery. Low mortgage rates
have helped fuel home sales
over the past year. In May,
completed sales of previously
occupied homes surpassed
the 5 million mark for the rst
time in 3 years.
And the number of people
who signed contracts to buy
homes leaped last month
to the highest level since
December 2006, the National
Association of Realtors said
in a separate report Thursday.
That suggests sales will rise
even further in the coming
months because there is gen-
erally a one- to two-month lag
between a signed contract and
a completed sale.

A for sale sign hangs on a home in Mount Lebanon, Pa. The average U.S.
rate on a 15-year fixed mortgage rose above 3 percent this week for the
first time in a year, while the rate on the 30-year fixed loan approached 4
percent.

Associated Press
BEIJING A pay
dispute was resolved
Thursday at a medical
supply factory, ending a
labor standoff in which the
Chinese workers detained
their American boss for
nearly a week inside the
plant until they reached
agreement on a compensa-
tion package.
Chip Starnes, a co-
owner of Florida-based
Specialty Medical
Supplies, told The
Associated Press he had
been forced to give in to
what he called unjustied
demands while he was
held by about 80 work-
ers inside the factory, an
experience he described
as humiliating, embar-
rassing.
The workers began block-
ing all exits from the plant
in Huairou district on the
outskirts of Beijing on June
21 after seeing equipment
being packed for shipment
to India and thinking the
entire factory was being
shut down. They said
the company owed them
unpaid salary.
At the start of the stand-
off, the workers deprived
Starnes of sleep by shining
bright lights and banging
on windows of his ofce,
he said.
Police had made no
moves to end the standoff
but guarded the plant and
said they were guarantee-
ing Starnes safety while a
labor ofcial was brought
in to broker negotiations.
Its not rare in China for
managers to be held by
workers demanding back
pay or other benets, often
from their Chinese owners.
Police are reluctant to
intervene, as they consid-
er it a business dispute,
and local ofcials typi-
cally are eager to see the
matter resolved in a way
least likely to fuel unrest.
Starnes, who had spo-
ken to reporters in recent
days through the barred
window of his factory
ofce, said the workers
demands were unjusti-
ed. Neither he nor dis-
trict labor ofcial Chu
Lixiang gave details of
the compensation deal.
Chu said all the work-
ers would be terminated,
although Starnes said
some would be rehired
later.
It has been resolved to
each sides satisfaction,
Chu told reporters at the
plant. She said they had
been sorting out paperwork
until 5 a.m. and that 97
workers had signed settle-
ment agreements.
Starnes had quietly
departed the factory
grounds by the time Chu
spoke.
He wrote in a text mes-
sage: Yes!! Out and back at
hotel. Showered. 9 pounds
lost during the ordeal!!!!!!
He told the AP he was
saddened by the experi-
ence.

More frms cut ties
with chef Deen
Target Corp. is ending its relationship
with celebrity cook Paula Deen as fallout
builds from revelations that the Southern
celebrity chef used racial slurs in the past.
The discounter said that it will phase out
its Paula Deen-branded cookware and other
items in its stores as well as on Target.com.
The company says that once the merchan-
dise is sold out, it will not be replenishing
the inventory.
The announcement comes as diabe-
tes drug maker Novo Nordisk says it and
Deen have mutually agreed to suspend our
patient education activities for now.
On Wednesday, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said
it was ending its relationship with Deen.
Last week, the Food Network said that it
would not renew Deens contract. And
Smitheld meats also ended its relationship
with her.

Reserve not shying
from bond buying
Federal Reserve ofcials sought Thursday
to calm investors by assuring them the Fed
wont start trimming its bond purchases
until the economy has strengthened. They
say any pullback in the Feds stimulus will
hinge on the economys performance, not a
calendar date.
The Fed is buying $85 billion a month
in bonds to try to keep long-term interest
rates low to spur borrowing and spending.
Chairman Ben Bernanke jolted investors
last week when he said the Fed will likely
slow its bond buying this year if the econo-
my continues to improve.
William Dudley, president of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, said Thursday
that if the economy proves weaker than the
Fed forecasts, he expects the bond purchas-
es to continue.

automakers plan to have 85 percent of
