Even though the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre region con-
tinues to lead the state in unemployment, the past four
months have seen slight decreases to the rate, and for the
rst time in more than 20 years, the top month-to-month
job growth in Pennsylvania occurred locally.
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Metropolitan Statistical
Areas (MSA) seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was
down one-tenth of a percentage point in May to 9.3 per-
cent. This marked the fourth consecutive monthly decline
and was the lowest rate since April 2012, when it was 9.2
percent.
Its a pretty good trend, said Steven Zellers, an analyst
with the Department of Labor and Industry. He said the
trend has been a dip in unemployment because people are
dropping out of the employment pool. But that wasnt the
case in May during which both the number of people in
Region added 2,100 jobs in May,
most in the state for that period

Luzerne County
Controller Walter Grifth
is issuing alarms over the
countys switch to a new
nancial software system,
but the administration
insists everything is under
control.
The new $1.28 million
system from Michigan-based
New World Systems Corp.
was supposed to be opera-
tional Monday but was still
not accessible to employees
Tuesday afternoon.
Grifth said there was no
backup because the admin-
istration chose to end the
countys contract with the
previous software sup-
plier ACS Government
Systems Inc. effective
June 30.
The software system pro-
cesses and tracks county
payments and receipts.
Without an operational
system, employees were
unable to record and look up
nancial data, transfer funds
and execute purchase orders
on Monday and Tuesday,
Grifth said. We cant con-
duct business. The county is
without a nancial system,
and I dont think thats a
good place to be, Grifth
said Tuesday afternoon.
County senior accountant
Brian Swetz, the interim
budget and nance division
head director, said the merg-
ing of data into the new sys-
tem was taking longer than
anticipated. Swetz said the
administration and New
World representatives were
working feverishly to load
and verify the converted
information.

Construction in 38 municipalities
pumped up Luzerne Countys tax base
$26 million this year to date, new
county statistics show.
However, $18.2 million of those
gains were wiped out by assessment
appeal reductions and demolition in 34
other municipalities.
The net result: the countys tax base
grew $7.8 million from January to
June.
County Assessment Director Tony
Alu, who released the statistics used
for this analysis, is relieved additions
are surpassing losses because the
countys tax base had decreased $56
million the second half of 2012.
$19.8 billion tax base
The countys taxable property is cur-
rently $19.838 billion, compared to
$19.856 billion a year ago.
At least were heading in the right
direction, albeit not as quick as Id like
it to. Thats the best we can hope for in
this climate, Alu said.
Penn Lake Park, a lake community
near White Haven, topped the grow-
ing municipalities, with an increase of
$667,600, or 1.33 percent. The bor-
oughs tax base is now $50.97 million.
More families are moving into the
boroughs outlying zone, remodeling
dated homes and building new ones,

WILKES-BARRE In a city
where recent thefts have some
pedestrians clutching their iPhones
and purses a little tighter, one lost
wallet actually found its way home
Tuesday.
Its owner? Actor, comedian and
musician Steve Martin. Its rescuer?
He still remains clouded in mystery.
Honesty survives in Wilkes-
Barre, Martin said through a
spokeswoman. The gentleman
couldnt have been sweeter, nicer,
kinder, and his Batman-like rescue
of my wallet is one more reason to
remember Wilkes-Barre.
Martin was in town for a one-
night appearance at the F.M. Kirby
Center on Public Square, where he
performed Tuesday evening with
Edie Brickell with the Steep Canyon
Rangers.
Will Beekman, the venues pro-
gramming director, said he did not
know the good Samaritans name,
only that the man telephoned the
Kirby box ofce at about 10 a.m. to
report what he had found.
We thought it was a joke at rst,
Beekman said.
A quick check with Martins
tour manager conrmed that the
comedian had been out riding his
bike around Wilkes-Barre earlier
Tuesday, Beekman said, giving the
callers story the ring of truth.
Ellen Masaitis, who works at
Curry Donuts next to the theater,
told The Times Leader that the man
who found the wallet told her about
the incident when he came into the
shop after meeting with Martin
who, the man said, gave him a $100
reward.

WILKES-BARRE A
Luzerne man who admit-
ted sending to a wrong
number a text message
in which he threatened to
blow up two area schools
was sentenced Tuesday to
time served in prison and
immediately paroled.
William Hoffman, 41,
was sentenced by Judge
Lesa Gelb to seven days
time served to one year in
prison on a charge of ter-
roristic threats stemming
from the Dec. 21 text mes-
sage incident.
If I were sentencing
(Hoffman), I would give
him a kick in the pants,
Hoffmans attorney,
William Ruzzo, said. It
was an attempt to get a
youngster to go to school.
According to court
papers, Hoffman sent a
threatening text message
on Dec. 21 to the cell-
phone of George Isaacs by
mistake, intending to send
it to his now-former girl-
friends daughter. The cell-
phone number for Isaacs
and the daughter differ by
only one digit, police said.
The message stated:
I am going to shoot
up everyone I see on
Watkins Street tomorrow.
Initially I was going
to blow up GAR and WVW
but I changed my mind.
So u better go the hell to
school tomorrow. Signed
random mysterious
psychotic killer.
Hoffman then sent a sec-
ond message, the criminal
complaint states, which
read: Sorry, that was a
bad joke to the wrong num-
ber. Oops.
In light of the mass
shooting at Sandy Hook
Elementary School in
Newtown, Conn., where
20 children and six staff
members were killed only
seven days earlier, Isaacs
took his cellphone to the
Kingston Township Police
Department.
Assistant District
Attorney Brian Coleman
said Isaacs acted appropri-
ately given that Hoffmans
threats were entirely pos-
sible.
Ruzzo said Tuesday his
client sent the text as a
way to get his now-ex-girl-
friends daughter to go to
school, and that Hoffman
has suffered a number
of collateral effects since
being charged.
Youre too old for
pranks, Gelb said.
Hoffman replied that the
text wasnt a prank, and
agreed it was an ill-fated
attempt at trying to get
the girl to go to school.
Hoffman pleaded guilty to
the charge last month.
Gelb ordered Hoffman
to complete 20 hours of
community service and to
have no contact with the
girl in the case or Isaacs.
Dont do anything
stupid, Gelb warned
Hoffman.
WASHINGTON In a major con-
cession to business groups, the Obama
administration Tuesday unexpectedly
announced a one-year delay, until 2015,
in a central requirement of the new
health care law that medium and large
companies provide coverage for their
workers or face nes.
We have heard concerns about the
complexity of the requirements and
the need for more time to implement
them effectively, Treasury Assistant
Secretary Mark Mazur said in a blog
post. We have listened to your feedback
and we are taking action.
Under the law, companies with 50 or
more workers must provide affordable
coverage to their full-time employees or
risk a series of escalating tax penalties
if just one worker ends up getting gov-
ernment-subsidized insurance. Business
groups have complained since the law
passed that the provision was too com-
plicated.
The unexpected decision is sure to
anger liberals and labor groups, but it
could provide cover for Democratic can-
didates in next years congressional elec-
tions.
While the White House sacriced
timely implementation of a key element
of President Barack Obamas health care
law, the move also undercuts Republican
efforts to make the overhaul and the
costs associated with new requirements
a major issue in congressional races.
Democrats are defending 21 Senate seats
to the Republicans 14, and the GOP
had already started to excoriate Senate
Democrats who had voted for the health
law in 2009.
Senior White House adviser Valerie
Jarret cast the decision as part of an
effort to simplify data reporting require-
ments.
She said since enforcing the coverage
mandate is dependent on businesses
reporting about their workers access to
insurance, the administration decided to
postpone the reporting requirement, and
with it, the mandate to provide coverage.
We have and will continue to make
changes as needed, Jarrett wrote in a
White House blog post. In our ongo-
ing discussions with businesses we have
heard that you need the time to get this
right. We are listening.

Forty Fort probe to focus on code ofce
Camille Fioti
Times Leader Correspondent
FORTY FORT An investigation that
borough council ordered Monday night is
focused on the borough Code Enforcement
Ofce and not any one person, the borough
solicitor and code enforcement supervisor
said Tuesday.
Solicitor Sam Falcone said the investi-
gation is for the purpose of vetting out
conicting allegations involving more than
one person in the department and is not
intended to focus on any one person in the
department.
The investigation will involve going
through all of the records pertaining to
every employee in the department, said
Code Enforcement Supervisor Steve
Nowroski. In addition to Nowroski, the
department has one full-time and one part-
time employee.
There are allegations that someone in
my department has been providing prefer-
ential treatment to political gures in the
community, said Nowroski. When this
investigation is complete, all of the facts will
be revealed.
In addition to its own borough, the Forty
Fort Code Enforcement Ofce covers the
municipalities of Kingston and Wyoming.
Borough council voted to order an inves-
tigation after a 24-minute executive session
to discuss the issue. Falcone had informed
council just before the meeting of allega-
tions he had heard.
Falcone said he was contacted by some
concerned borough citizens in the last two
weeks who said they were victims of politi-
cal targeting while others received favorable
treatment. Falcone said when he became
aware of the four allegations, he became
concerned and contacted council President
Joe Chacke. Falcone said Chacke told him
he was also aware of other allegations.
Falcone recommended attorney John G.
Dean of Eliot, Greenleaf & Dean. Deans
hourly rate is $165, with a maximumcost of
$4,000. Council voted to use Dean for the
investigation.
Falcone encouraged anyone with con-
cerns to come forward.

DAdismisses security system complaint against Leighton, Murphy
Steve Mocarsky
smocarsky@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE Luzerne
Countys top cop says nei-
ther Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leighton nor former admin-
istrator J.J. Murphy broke the
law when they had security sys-
tems installed in their homes on
the taxpayers dime, nor when
Murphy sold his house, allegedly
with part of a security system
still in it.
Linda Urban, an ofcer with
the Wilkes-Barre Taxpayers
Association, led a complaint on
behalf of the association with the
state Attorney Generals Ofce
Bureau of Consumer Protection
in May alleging Leighton ille-
gally accessed city funds to
buy close to $15,000 in home
security systems in 2005 and
have them installed in his and
Murphys homes.
She also complained that
Murphy sold his house through
Leightons real estate company,
beneting nancially from the
installation but not disclosing
the system in the sales agree-
ment.
The Attorney Generals
ofce forwarded the complaint
to Luzerne County District
Attorney Stefanie Salavantis.
In a letter to Urban dated June
26, Salavantis said her ofce
investigated the theft of an
alarm system purchased by
Wilkes-Barre City and installed
in the home of Mr. Murphy and
found that Murphy took the
appropriate steps in returning
the usable components of the
alarm system to Wilkes-Barre
City after he resigned. The
alarm systems purchase and
installation is an internal issue
to be addressed by Wilkes-Barre
City, Salavantis wrote, adding
that the matter has been closed.
Urban said taxpayers are still
out thousands of dollars because
of what these two men did.
Frank Sorick, taxpayer
association president, said
Salavantis addressed the removal
of outdoor security cameras, but
not the indoor alarm panel or
window and door sensors.
I think theyre pulling the
wool over her eyes. Leighton had
said when he was campaigning
in 2011 that it would have
been more costly to remove the
security system than to just leave
it there. Stefanie is sorely
misinformed and I would hope
our DA would be smarter than
this, Sorick said.
Salavantis did not respond
to a request for comment, and
Leighton declined comment.
Murphy, now city manager in
Hobbs, N.M., said in an email
that the security systems were
installed at the recommendation
of the police chief after Murphy
received threats and someone
tried to break into his home. He
said Urbans complaint is lled
with factual inaccuracies and
that Sorick is misinformed, as
he paid for the removal of the
cameras and returned them to
the city and paid for the monthly
monitoring of the alarm system
for years.
As far as commenting on Mrs.
Urban or Mr. Soricks comments,
a great military leader once told
me, Never argue with an idiot.
They will always try to bring you
down, and you can never bring
them up, Murphy said.

Sunday was big day for Stevens
Correale Stevens had just gotten married and kissed his
new bride Sunday when he got the call notifying him the state
Senate had unanimously conrmed him as the seventh member
of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
Stevens says he and ancee Louise Baran picked June 30 as
their wedding date in February, long before his name surfaced
as a possible successor to Joan Orie Melvin, who resigned in
May after being convicted on charges related to using state
employees to help with her political campaigns.
Stevens, 66, is president judge of state Superior Court, an
intermediate appeals court, and he has some administrative
duties to nish up before being sworn in as a justice, a ceremo-
ny he expects to happen later this month.
His colleague on that court, Judge Jack Panella, performed
the wedding, and afterward they all had a second reason to cel-
ebrate. I said, Lets go enjoy dinner, because the Senate just
conrmed me, Stevens said.

Deputy sherif pleads guilty
A Luzerne County deputy sheriff charged with threatening to
kill her ex-partner pleaded guilty Tuesday to a summary charge
of harassment.
Mary Jean Farrell, 52, of Arthur Circle, Mountain Top, was
scheduled to appear before County Judge Joseph Sklarosky
Jr., for a bench trial a trial before only a judge where she
instead pleaded guilty to the summary charge. She was ordered
to pay a $150 ne. Prosecutors withdrew a charge of terroristic
threats.
Farrell has been off-duty for an undetermined period on a
workers compensation claim.
According to court papers, Jennifer Johnson arrived on June
29 at the Wright Township Police Department and said Farrell
told their daughter that she was going to kill Johnson. Johnson
said Farrell drove by her home at least ve times and began
calling her on the phone, threatening to kill her.
Johnson and Farrell have been involved in a custody action
for several years involving two children. Court records indicate
Johnson is the natural mother of the two children.

Shooter gets another day in court
A Luzerne County judge will allow a man serving a 24- to
72-year prison sentence after injuring several people in a shoot-
ing at the White House Cafe in Wilkes-Barre in 2005 to with-
draw his guilty plea next month.
County Judge Fred Pierantoni said in court papers led
Monday that Claude Johnston, 38, will be
permitted to withdraw his guilty plea after a
former county judge, Mark Ciavarella, denied
the same request. A hearing was scheduled
for Aug. 1.
According to court records, Johnston and
another man red several rounds at custom-
ers inside the Hazle Avenue bar in March
2005, injuring three people.
Johnstons attorneys, including his current
attorney Jeffrey Yelen, have argued Johnston
should be allowed to withdraw his plea because his co-defen-
dant received a lesser sentence that Johnston also agreed to
but didnt get and that his co-defendant was also permitted to
withdraw his guilty plea previously.
Pierantoni said in his ling Johnston will be allowed to with-
draw his plea because at the time he entered the guilty plea
in December 2005, there was no basis for the plea put on the
record; there was no discussion of possible sentences and nes;
and that Johnstons attorney failed to raise an issue to chal-
lenge the voluntary and knowing requirement to a guilty plea.

Annual slots revenues down
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported Tuesday
gross revenue from the play of slot machines dropped nearly 2
percent in scal year 2013 compared to scal year 2012. Even
with the dip, gross revenues topped $2.4 billion for the second
consecutive scal year.
The 2012-13 numbers were generated with an average daily
number of 26,326 slot machines in operation this scal year
compared to the 26,495 operating on average in 2011-12.
Only one of the casinos Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem
reported an increase, and it was only 1.66 percent. Mohegan

Dozen armories up for sale
Twelve former Pennsylvania National Guard armories are
being put up for sale, including the Watres Armory in Scranton
and the Berwick Armory.
Both houses of the Legislature passed the authorizing legis-

Tom Corbetts signature.
The bill authorizes the sales of armories in Scranton and
Berwick, as well as two armories in Blair County, two in
Elk County and one each in Centre, Franklin, Huntingdon,
Lancaster, McKean and Northumberland counties.
The state Department of Military and Veterans Affairs says
the armories, built between 1904 and 1938, were once the
heart of their communities but have been replaced by newer
facilities.
The armories are listed on the National Register of
Historical Places. Prospective buyers will pay a discounted
price in exchange for preserving the exterior facades of the
buildings for 25 years.

Students REACH-HEI to pursue dreams in medical feld
Mark Guydish
mguydish@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE
Kahlil Rust had pretty high
hopes from the outset.
I want to be a neurosur-
geon, the Hazleton Area
High School soon-to-be-
junior said.
But after spending time on
the Kings College campus
learning about cancer treat-
ment, he was reconsidering.
I didnt know that much
about the different treat-
ments, like gamma knife
surgery, Rust said Tuesday
while showing off a poster
he designed to explain what
he had learned. Now Im
thinking about getting into
that instead.
Rust was one of about
20 students from area high
schools who participated in
the REACH-HEI (Regional
Education Academy for
Careers in Health Higher
Education Initiative) pro-
gram, a federally funded,
multi-year effort to help
students from low-income
families pursue dreams of a
career in the medical eld.
While the program runs
year-round with day visits
and trips for the students, it
includes a three-week resi-
dential summer component
when students live on cam-
pus and interact with col-
lege staff. Kings Hispanic
Outreach program assistant
coordinator Reyna Logsdon
said Tuesdays event, held
outside on the colleges
Monarch Court, was a
chance for the students to
show off what they learned
through posters and chats
with those who decided to
stop by.
The bulk of the program
targets high school students,
but there is also an offer-
ing for middle school stu-
dents, Logsdon said. They
designed a ier touting the
program and set up an Alexs
Lemonade Stand, named
after a charitable foundation
created by a Connecticut girl
diagnosed with neuroblas-
toma when she was about
1 year old and who later
opened a lemonade stand
to raise money for cancer
research. Alex died at age 8,
but her idea thrives.
We are hoping to raise
$200 today, Logsdon said.
The high school students
ringed the circular court,
built on what used to be a
stretch of South Franklin
Street, with easels and post-
ers displaying what they had
learned, offering as much
information as any passerby
wanted. Desiree Lewis, also
from Hazleton Area, talked in
considerable detail about the
types of brain tumors, both
benign and malignant, and
the problems each can create.
I learned a lot more than
I would have if I did the
research on my own, She
said. We did a lot of cool
stuff and different stuff. I
expected it to be like high
school work, but the profes-
sors challenge you more.
Asked if that meant it was
worth losing three weeks
of summer vacation, Lewis
smiled.
I kind of wanted it to be
longer.

Clean-water advocate cant roll in parade

MONTROSE The
Montrose area service clubs
themed their Fourth of July
celebration A Good Neighbor
4th, but one organization has
been banned from including its
truck in the parade.
The Montrose Kiwanis,
Lions and Rotary clubs parade
committee told Vera Scroggins,
a member of Citizens for Clean
Water, that she could not
include their water truck in
Thursdays parade because her
message did not t with the
spirit of community they were
trying to project, according to
Scroggins.
Citizens for Clean Water
provides, among other things,
clean water weekly to families
who found methane in their
groundwater.
Methane is a naturally occur-
ring gas trapped underground
in Pennsylvania and, while it
cant be conrmed that the
natural gas industry has caused
methane to pollute water sup-
plies, a study by the National
Academy of Sciences shows
that more methane is found in
ground water near natural gas
extraction.
There are about 10 families
near Montrose in Susquehanna
County who receive fresh
water delivered by gas com-
pany contractors, according to
Scroggins. Her organization
delivers to three families who
do not receive water from the
companies.
Scroggins said she went to
the parade committee asking
if she could include her water
truck, a large pickup that car-
ries a water tank, in the holi-
days procession which is part
of a day-long festival in town.
She was told her original anti-
fracking message was contro-
versial and didnt belong in the
parade, Scroggins said.
Scroggins said she scrapped
the anti-fracking mantra to
run in the parade with a neu-
tral, more neighborly message.
Scroggins posts anti-fracking
videos to her YouTube chan-
nel and the Citizens for Clean
Water group is known for its
rigid anti-fracking stance.
Laurence Kelly, the Lions
Club member who heads up
this years parade committee,
was not available for comment.
Ed DeWitt, a Kiwanis Club
member, said the decision
belongs to the committee
alone. DeWitt pointed out that
Scroggins truck is not a oat,
its a truck with a water tank in
the back. He supported Kellys
decision saying the service
clubs have put on the parade
for 37 years and, so far it has
been free of controversy.
DeWitt said he works hard
getting ready for the celebration
and was disheartened to see dis-
sension seeping into the event.
Would-be participant believes her stance on
natural gas drilling behind apparent ban

WILKES-BARRE In
2011, 200 people a day went
to emergency rooms for treat-
ment of reworks-related
injuries during the two weeks
before and after the Fourth of
July, state statistics show.
Doctors and nurses in
Northeastern Pennsylvania
say this number can be greatly
reduced by taking precautions
to keep the summer holiday
safe and fun.
One change of behavior, said
Henry Chip Dunham, direc-
tor of Emergency Services at
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital,
is to go to community events
at which reworks are staged
by professionals. These folks,
towns and sponsors are spend-
ing tens of thousands of dollars
on these displays that are phe-
nomenal, he said.
Dr. Ronald Strony, direc-
tor of emergency medicine at
Geisinger Wyoming Valley,
said there is no comparison
between the professional use
of reworks with personal use
when it comes to safety. The
only thing you have to do at a
public display is enjoy yourself.
The risk is dramatically and
exponentially lower, Strony
said.
Gail Malloy, a registered
nurse and coordinator of the
Injury Prevention Task Force
for Emergency Medicine at
Hazleton General Hospital,
said public display-goers
should buy ear plugs costing
only $3 for 10 pair, to protect
their hearing and to stand
far away from the rework dis-
play.
The farther away you are,
the more you can appreciate
the beauty of them, she said.
Yet, many people continue
to light consumer reworks at
home. In 2011 around 17,800
res were started by consumer
reworks in the U.S., according
to the National Fire Protection
Association. One preventive
measure is to make sure there is
running water nearby, Dunham
said. You need to water down
these things; otherwise it will
cause a brush re, he said.
The associations annual
reworks report says children
are most at risk and that spar-
klers accounted for 34 percent
of emergency room reworks
injuries, with 25 percent of the
victims being under 15.
Sparklers should not be used
at all, said Dunham, but if fami-
lies do, it is important to make
sure children understand not
to touch the glow. The spar-
klers burn at 1,000 to 3,000
degrees. To put that into per-
spective, you bake a cake at 325
degrees, Dunham said.
Strony said although spar-
klers are considered benign
things, they are one of the
most dangerous things for kids
to hold.
If a child is going to display
sparklers, Malloy offered these
safety tips: Supervise the child,
have the child wear protective
eyeglasses and closed shoes,
and ensure that the child stays
in one place and holds the spar-
kler away from the body.
The Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital recorded around six
to 10 reworks-related injuries
in 2012, while in past years the
facility typically saw around
12 to 18. Some victims, said
Dunham, nowgo to urgent care
facilities that opened locally in
recent years.
Too many backyard celebrations end in emergency roomvisits, say those who know
TESS kORNfELD/fOR ThE TIMES
LEADER
Gail Malloy, a nurse at Hazleton
General Hospital, recently offered
fireworks safety tips intended to
prevent burns, eye injuries and other
unnecessary Fourth of July mishaps.
Leave fireworks like these in the

SCRANTON Former
Dallas head football
coach Ted Jackson wants
his job back leading the
Mountaineers from the
sidelines, and he wants to
be protected from future
retaliation from Dallas
school directors.
An amended lawsuit
Jacksons lawyer, Kimberly
Borland, led in federal
court Tuesday appears to
clarify allegations over the
Hall of Fame coachs dis-
missal in February 2012.
U.S. District Court
Judge James M. Munley
on June 20 dismissed a
section of Jacksons rst
lawsuit but allowed him
to rele an amended com-
plaint to clarify violations
of his First Amendment
right to free speech.
Jackson, 62, alleges he
was red as head coach
after he spoke out against
the suspension of his son,
Ted Jackson Jr., as a coach
in the district. The young-
er Jackson was suspended
as an assistant football
coach for two games dur-
ing the 2011 season after
receiving unsportsman-
like conduct penalties in
consecutive games.
He was red as the high
schools basketball coach
in November 2011 after a
due process hearing with
school ofcials.
Jackson claims his opin-
ion about the way his son
was suspended and red
was protected speech.
The lawsuit alleges
school Principal Jeffrey
Shaffer retaliated against
Jackson by failing to per-
form a mid-season evalua-
tion in 2011. Shaffer wait-
ed until after the football
season ended to perform
the evaluation, which con-
trasted with a near perfect
evaluation following the
2010 season.
School directors opened
the position of head foot-
ball coach in December
2011. Jackson applied for
the position, which was
awarded to Robert Zaruta.
Claims in the rst law-
suit and amended com-
plaint allege school direc-
tors Catherine Wega,
Maureen B. Matiska,
Karen B. Kyle, Larry
G. Schuler, Richard G.
Coslett and Charles
Preece, who are named
in the lawsuit, have a
Republican afliation with
Zaruta.
The lawsuit says Zaruta
only had seven years of
coaching experience at
the junior varsity level,
while Jackson had been
head coach at Dallas since
1984, leading the program
to 14 Wyoming Valley
Conference titles, four
Eastern Conference titles,
three District 2 titles
and the Class AA State
Championship in 1993.

Latest Taliban attack kills seven
Amir Shah
The Associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan Taliban suicide attackers
blew up a truck bomb early Tuesday at the gates of a
NATO suppliers compound in Kabul and sprayed gun-
re at security personnel, killing ve guards and two
civilians, Afghan ofcials said.
The morning attack was the latest in a series target-
ing high-prole locations in the Afghan capital. The
attacks have made clear the Taliban have no intention
of ending the violence, even as they say they are willing
to enter peace negotiations.
The U.N. deputy chief, Jan Eliasson, who was in
Kabul wrapping up a ve-day trip to Afghanistan when
the attack took place, said continued violence could
only harm the Talibans own cause.
I would hope that there would be steps taken by
the leadership of the Taliban to realize that the tool of
violence in any case cannot instill condence in the
population, he said. Theres been too much suffering
there and there are too many widows, too many father-
and-motherless children in Afghanistan and I think we
need to instill a sense of calm.
But the Taliban showed no signs of backing off,
telling The Associated Press by phone that Tuesdays
attack was part of its offensive started in the spring to
target military and diplomatic sites with suicide bomb-

CDC: Overdose deaths up among middle-aged women
Mike Stobbe
AP Medical Writer
ATLANTA Middle-aged
women account for the fastest-
growing share of overdose
deaths in the U.S., and their
drug of choice is usually pre-
scription painkillers, the gov-
ernment reported Tuesday.
Its a serious health problem
and its getting worse rapidly,
saidDr. Thomas Frieden, direc-
tor of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, which
compiled the data.
For many decades, the over-
whelming majority of U.S.
overdose deaths were men
killed by heroin or cocaine.
But by 2010, 40 percent were
women most of them mid-
dle-aged women who took pre-
scription painkillers.
Skyrocketing female over-
dose death rates are closely
tied to a boom in the use of
prescribed painkillers. The
new report is the CDCs rst
to spotlight how the death
trend has been more dramatic
among women.
The CDC found that the
number and rate of female pre-
scription drug overdose deaths
increased by around 400
percent from 1999 to 2010.
For men, the increases were
around 250 percent.
Overall, more men still die
from overdoses of painkillers
and other drugs; there were
about 23,000 such deaths in
2010, compared with about
15,300 for women. Men tend to
take more risks with drugs than
women, and often are more
prone to the kind of workplace
injuries that lead to their being
prescribed painkillers in the
rst place, experts say.
But the gap between men
and women has been narrow-
ing dramatically.
A jump was also seen in
visits to hospital emergency
rooms. Painkiller-related ER
visits by women more than
doubled between 2004 and
2010, the CDC found.
Studies suggest that women
are more likely to have chronic
pain, to be prescribed higher
doses, and to use pain drugs
longer than men. Some
research suggests women
might be more likely than men
to doctor shop and get pain
pills from several physicians,
CDC ofcials said.
But many doctors might not
recognize these facts about
women, said John Eadie, direc-
tor of a Brandeis University
program that tracks prescrip-
tion-drug monitoring efforts
across the United States.
The report calls for a mind-
set change by doctors, who
have traditionally thought of
drug abuse as a mens problem,
he said. That means doctors
should consider the possibility
of addiction in female patients,
think of alternative treatments
for non-cancer chronic pain,
and consult state drug moni-
toring programs to nd out if
a patient has a worrisome his-
tory with painkillers.
Painkiller-related ERvisits by women more
than doubled between 2004 and 2010

GETTYSBURG Maneuvering
around snarling trafc along nar-
row roads, scores of visitors have
ocked to the Gettysburg battle-
eld this week for the 150th anni-
versary of the Civil Wars dening
conict. Many traveled to honor
ancestors who fought on the hal-
lowed grounds as soldiers.
Some tourists snapped pictures
in front of the stately statues and
monuments that mark positions of
troops of Union and Confederate
forces, while military buffs quizzed
park rangers on popular battleeld
education programs. One on Little
Round Top drew more than 500
people 10 times more than the
typical turnout and attendees
carefully walked the hilltop path
and craned their necks to listen to
the Civil War history lesson.
Oh my gosh, there so many peo-
ple, Park Ranger Allyson Perry
said between stops on the Tuesday
morning tour. Im so impressed.
Farther down the trail, Valerie
Josephson waited near the memo-
rial for the 20th Maine Regiment,
the unit that helped defend the
hill from Confederates exactly 150
years ago Tuesday. Josephson, 72,
of Stockholm, N.J., said she has
visited Gettysburg 10 times but
never on July 2, the day that her
great grandfather Manseld Ham
got shot in the thumb while ght-
ing on Little Round Top in 1863.
I still get the chills when I
start riding into Gettysburg.
Theres such a feeling here, said
Josephson, who self-published a
book about her great-grandfathers
unit. I have been thinking about
this for years. Im going out here to
do my part (to honor him) today.
Up to 10,000 Union and
Confederate troops died at
Gettysburg July 1-3, 1863, with
another 30,000 wounded. Its
the bloodiest battle fought on
American soil.
Along with Little Round Top,
some of the most desperate ght-
ing on July 2 occurred at places
that have become well-known to
Gettysburg enthusiasts. Among
them are Devils Den, the Peach
Orchard and the Wheateld.
The South gained ground on Day
2 but could not dislodge Northern
defenders setting up Gen.
Robert E. Lees ill-fated decision on
the third and nal day of the battle
to launch Picketts Charge.
The battleeld today is under
the care of the National Park
Service, which has been prepar-
ing for the 150th anniversary for
years. A commemoration ceremo-
ny was held Sunday night, while
various ranger and educational
programs have held the interest of
visitors since then.
Bus trafc wasnt around in the
1860s, though. Nor were there
curiosity-seekers riding around on
bikes or tour groups traveling by
Segways.
Its like an army, one frus-
trated visitor mumbled under his
breath to a friend on the crowded
Little Round Top tour. If they had
this many troops back then, then
maybe they wouldnt have as much
of a problem.
The Park Service has said it
doesnt keep ofcial counts of visi-
tors to battleeld programs, which
are free and dont require registra-
tion. Gettysburg National Military
Park typically attracts 1.2 million
visitors a year a mark that of-
cials expect to easily exceed thanks
in large part to the 10-day anniver-
sary period that ends Sunday.

VATICAN CITY
One step closer
to sainthood
A Vatican ofcial says Pope John
Paul II has cleared the nal obstacle
before being made a saint.
The ANSA news agency said a
commission of cardinals and bishops
met Tuesday to consider the case and
signed off on it, leaving only Pope
Francis to approve it. A Vatican of-
cial conrmed that the decision had
been taken some time back and that
Tuesdays meeting was essentially a
formality.
One possible canonization date is
Dec. 8, the feast of the Immaculate
Conception, a major feast day for the
Catholic Church. The ofcial, who
spoke on condition of anonymity
because canonization cases are cov-

reports in La Stampa newspaper that
John Paul could be canonized together
with Pope John XXIII, who called the

Abortion law
moves forward
Ireland appeared on course to legal-

circumstances as lawmakers voted
Tuesday to support a bill that would
permit pregnancies to be terminated
when deemed necessary to save the

Catholic leaders warned that the
proposed law, which faces a nal vote
next week, would become a Trojan
horse leading eventually to wide-
spread abortion access in Ireland. But
Prime Minister Enda Kenny insisted
Irelands constitutional ban on abor-
tion would remain unaffected, and
his governments Protection of Life
During Pregnancy Bill won over-
whelming backing in a 138-24 vote.
MIDDLESEX, VT.
Hearings likely for
Voting Rights Act
Vermont U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy
says he will call hearings of the
Senate Judiciary Committee to see if
legislation can be written to protect
minority voting rights that many
feel were threatened after the U.S.
Supreme Court overturned the Voting
Rights Act.
Leahy, a Democrat and chairman of
the Judiciary Committee, says he has
consulted constitutional scholars and
will encourage both Republicans and
Democrats to call witnesses.
Last week the U.S. Supreme Court
issued a decision that effectively halt-
ed enforcement of the 1965 Voting
Rights Act, which has protected
minority voting rights by requiring
federal approval for changes to state
and local voting procedures in some
states and smaller jurisdictions.
Leahy says he doesnt know what
the solution is. He calls the Supreme
Court decision entirely new ground.
DAKAR, SENEGAL
Ex-dictator facing
war crimes
A special tribunal in Senegal has
charged former Chad dictator Hissene
Habre with war crimes, crimes against
humanity and torture over atrocities
committed during his eight-year rule.
The charges were handed down at
the end of a two-hour meeting at the
Extraordinary African Chambers, a
court inaugurated earlier this year to
prosecute Habre after more than two
decades of living freely in Senegal.
Habre ruled Chad from 1982 to
1990. Human rights and victims
groups say that soon after coming to
power, he promoted members of his
Gorane ethnic group to head a ruthless
torture and killing apparatus targeting
members of other ethnic groups that
threatened his rule.
He was removed from ofce in 1990
in a military coup, eeing to Senegal.
Egyptian showdown
intensifes
Most frearmdeaths occur outside war zones, study fnds
John Heilprin
GENEVA The vast
majority of people who die
from armed violence each
year are killed outside of
wars and other conflicts,
a global survey of firearms
revealed Tuesday.
The Graduate Institutes
annual survey found an aver-
age of 526,000 people a year
died violently between 2004
and 2009, and that 90 per-
cent of the armed violence
did not involve internation-
al conflicts or civil wars.
The survey also found
that between 42 percent
and 60 percent of lethal
violence occurs with a fire-
arm, and that civilians hold
about three-quarters of the
approximately 875 million
weapons worldwide.
The survey, which is
sponsored by the Swiss
foreign ministry and other
governments, covers both
military-style small arms
and light weapons such as
revolvers, rifles and subma-
chine guns, along with com-
mercial handguns and long
guns. Among the multiple
other findings are:
A strong correlation
between the rise and fall
of ammunition prices in
Lebanon and the popularity
of certain rifle models used
by Syrian rebel fighters. For
example, Belgian-made FN
FAL rifles became useless
to Syrian fighters when the
price of cartridges reached
$3. But the most common-
ly available military rifles,
including the Russian-made
AK 47s and American-
made M16s in Lebanon and
Pakistan, command higher
prices when ammunition
prices tend to be low.
The Institutes senior
researcher Glenn McDonald
said ammunition prices
reflect the course of armed
conflicts like the one in
Syria, and added that the
survey overlapped with the
first year and a half of the
conflict there.
We see that ammunition
prices are, in fact, following
levels of fatalities in Syria,
he said.
Between 40 percent
and 70 percent of female
murder victims are killed by
an intimate partner, often
with a gun. Around 66,000
women are killed violently
each year around the world
equivalent to 17 percent
of all intentional homicides
usually by a current or
former partner.
The risk is increased by
the presence of guns in the
home, said the surveys
research director, Anna
Alvazzi del Frate.
Homicides linked to
the Italian mafia declined
43 percent between 2007
and 2010, reflecting its
move away from tradition-
al activities to more legal
businesses. But the over-
all decline masks regional
variations, such as in Naples
and Calabria, where there is
a high degree of mafia vio-
lence.
Homemade weapons
mainly mortars, pistols
and pump-action shot-
guns that confer status
and strength are now the
main type of firearm car-
ried by the Nicaraguan
gangs that sprung up after
the end of the nations
civil war between the U.S.
backed Contras and the
Sandinistas.
Survey says civilians hold about three-quarters of the 875 million weapons worldwide

He and his family lived for

Eckley Village volunteer
disheartened by director
I was very distressed when I heard the
news of the re that destroyed a historic
home at Eckley Miners Village. I was fur-
ther distressed when I learned it was the
home of George Gera, an 86-year-old man
who has lived in the village his entire life,
and with whom I have had personal conver-
sations, including after the re.
While looking at the smoldering remains
of his home, I felt compelled to have my
voice be heard.
I have been associated with Eckley since
1999. I began there as an intern, worked
as part of the Pennsylvania Conservation
Corps curatorial crew stationed there, and
since 2002 have volunteered there numer-
ous times a year, despite residing three
states away.
I love Eckley, and am grateful that such a
place exists for the betterment of the public
in showcasing Pennsylvanias rich heritage.
However, in the past year, I have seen sev-
eral changes at the museum which greatly
disturb me. In June 2012 Eckleys long-serv-
ing director, David Dubick, retired. Since
The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum
Commission named a new director, morale
among the majority of the staff has dropped
to an all-time low. Several volunteers have
quit promising to never return.
The president of the Eckley Associates
board, a long-time volunteer who has put
in several thousand hours at Eckley, retired
following the new directors reprimand of
him midway through an interview with the
press. Eckley has already acutely felt the
loss of this individuals volunteer efforts,
and with others leaving, such losses may
become immeasurable. The fact these
events have occurred since the installment
of the new director is not merely coinciden-
tal.
I am also puzzled by the PHMCs choice.
One would believe that among the 12.8
million people who reside in Pennsylvania
there must be some who are qualied to
serve as an administrator of a museum;
however, the PHMC chose a man who is
originally from Michigan and most recently
lived in Canada. With the unemployment
rate in Northeastern Pennsylvania hovering
around 9% why was someone from outside
the state chosen to serve as site administra-
tor for Eckley? I feel that new directors
lack of any connection to Pennsylvania,
specically the coal region, is part of the
development of problems at Eckley.
I hope to be able to visit Eckley for years
to come. However, if the trends I have
described continue, I fear there soon will
not be an Eckley for me to visit. I strongly
advise PHMC to take a hard look at events
occurring at Eckley, so as to not have this
great site pass into the history that it cur-
rently so richly showcases.

Resident asks legislators
to back property tax bill
To the honorable Mike Turzari, Kerry
Benninghoff, John Blake, John Gordner,
Mike Carroll, Sid Kavulich, Phyllis
Mundy, Eddie Pashinski, regarding
Property Tax Independence Act HB SB
76:
I (We) are asking you to sponsor
and support HB SB 76 bills. As of this
writing, as a taxpayer, home, business
owner and retiree, I havent read or heard
that you would support these bills.
I am a member and one of the
many voices of 78 PTCC groups in
Pennsylvania that support the elimination
of school property tax. Many retirees,
widows/widowers, farmers, disabled
workers and unemployed are losing their
homes 10,000 each year; 350,000
foreclosures because they cant afford
to pay their school property taxes.
I, and others in my area, are getting
petitions signed for the elimination of
school property tax. tOne example in
my travels, a widow who owns a home
in Scranton has a total annual income of
$7,000. Her property tax for 2013 was
$5,000. She will lose her home because of
insufcient income.
We now have 89 co-sponsors,
Republicans and Democrats, who support
these bills. Please, I ask for compassion
and sympathy for those, especially
the elderly and low-wage earners who
struggle from paycheck to paycheck.
Frank Chest and I have collected
hundreds of signed petitions in support
for these bills from Luzerne, Lackawanna,
Monroe, Carbon, and Columbia counties.
We ask for a reply from you: yes or no.
No excuses. This is a peoples bill and we
the people are the government. Lets get
these bills on the oor for a vote.
If you fail to support or listen to your
constituents, we will take measures to
make changes come next election.

Letter writer cuts no slack
for Obama or his supporters
Many of the voters who put Obama
in power for his rst term are truly
remorseful. They have been taken for
a one-way, unbridled tour through the
elds of acrimony and indifference, and
have been given a vivid perception of
tyranny.
For those who voted him in the rst
time, I have no pity or sorrow as there
were plenty of alarms ashing. Those
people who voted him in twice truly are
gullible. I show you no pity; when this
mans term is nished so will we be.
Each passing day brings more scandals.
You can be sure this trend will continue
and dont look to your government
watchdogs to x it or intervene. They
wont x it because they are part of the
problem. They have no backbone, no
gumption, and no initiative to face the
seemingly faceless.
Why does the search for answers to all
these scandals go so far then die? Simple:
somebody read the book on Hitler who
did not leave a paper trail when he laid
out his plans to eliminate all the Jews and
anyone else who got in his way. No mia
culpa if there is no paper trail.
To those who ply their shoddy and
worn cliche that because the president
is black is the reason why hes taking
constant ack, I say forget it, as people
see him as he presides over existing law.
And if he has mismanaged almost ve
years of his tenure then he should be
chided. Martin Luther King said we dont
see the color of a mans skin, but only the
actions of the heart. Those who continue
to profess that when Obamas screws up
and we object, its because hes black. To
those I say: stuff it. You will also pay the
price the same as we jokers who at least
complain.

Remember the Golden Rule
and treat everyone with dignity
As the country debates the pros and
cons of the immigration reform proposal
before the U.S. Senate, I ask others to
view the issue with a focus on human
dignity and the Golden Rule.
Almost every religion has some version
of the Golden Rule and whether its do
unto others or Love thy neighbor as
yourself. We are taught to treat everyone
with the same dignity and compassion
we would want for ourselves. Regardless
of whether you were raised Christian,
Muslim, or Jewish, we have all been
taught that human life deserves respect.
I support the immigration reform
proposal before the senate because I
believe that it addresses the delicate
issue of undocumented residents with
appropriate dignity and respect. Many of
these residents have been living here and
contributing to our society for decades
and to mistreat them or severely punish
them for a mistake made many years ago
would be a poor reection on our values
as a people. After all, to give is divine.

Will president approve
the Keystone pipeline?
EUleaders take stand against
NSaspying. So should U.S.
YOUR OPINION: LETTERS FROM READERS
President Barack Obamas
push to put a new empha-
sis on curbing greenhouse
gas emissions had the feel of
wishful thinking. He knows
that Congress has little inter-
est in the effort, so he plans
to focus on what he can do
by Environmental Protection
Agency rule-making. The
exercise of such regulatory
power tends to be a slow grind
through government bureau-
cracy, though, and he may
not be able to get much of his
agenda accomplished before
his term ends.
One bit of his speech,
though, held out the prospect
of imminent impact. The presi-
dent said he would allow the
Keystone XL oil pipeline to be
built only if this project does
not signicantly exacerbate the
problem of carbon pollution.
That set off lots of specu-
lation: Is Obama signaling
thumbs up or thumbs down?
Were going to be optimistic
and take it as a sign that he
may soon approve the pipeline.
The State Department, which
is charged with evaluating the
Keystone project because it
crosses the U.S.-Canada bor-
der, has already made an early
determination on the pollu-
tion impact. The agency said
in a draft review released in
March that Keystone would
not likely result in signicant
adverse environmental effects.
In May, the department posted
the rst of more a million pub-
lic comments responding to its
report. It continues to review
the application and reportedly
will wrap up in time for an
announcement in the fall.
The 2,000-page draft report
shows, convincingly, that the
presidents condition has been
satised. The case is ready to
be closed. Lets start putting
people to work laying pipe.
On the day Obama
announced his climate policy,
a report produced by order of
Congress debunked one of the
complaints about Keystone.
Oil from the Canada tar sands
that would be carried in the
Keystone pipeline to the Gulf
of Mexico is no more likely
than other crude oil to cause
pipeline failure. That report,
from the operating arm of the
National Academy of Sciences,
was compiled and reviewed by
dozens of the nations most
credible scientists.
Last year, Obama stalled a
nal decision on Keystone.
The president needlessly dam-
aged relations with key trading
partner Canada and missed the
opportunity to put people to
work.
In the meantime, the devel-
opers have worked to answer
concerns about the project.
Keystone opponents claimed
the pipeline would leak into
groundwater, compromising
the giant Ogallala Aquifer. The
fears were unfounded, but the
developers rerouted the pipe-
line footprint around the aqui-
fer.
Pipelines generally are a
safer way to transport fuel than
the trains and tanker trucks
used instead. Pipelines already
crisscross the Midwest.
Keystone would be one of the
most secure with state-of-
the-art safeguards that have
been upgraded to the point of
overkill as the company seeks
to put fears to rest.
The Canadian tar sands will
be tapped with or without
Keystone, and they will con-
tribute less to carbon pollution
than many other common ener-
gy sources.
The Keystone pipeline will
be a boost for the U.S. econo-
my. Time to approve it.
Chicago Tribune
Bugging friends is unaccept-
able.
That is German Chancellor
Angela Merkels warning to
the United States as the spec-
tacle of the National Security
Agencys Prism program con-
tinues to grow.
The Germans arent the only
ones that are miffed. French
President Francois Hollande is
also on record as calling the U.S.
snooping unacceptable. And
there could be real-world impli-
cations trickling down from
these high-level pronounce-
ments. Trade talks scheduled
this week between the U.S.
and the European Union arent
going to be particularly warm
and fuzzy, we suspect.
If American allies think its
outrageous that our spy agen-
cies collected data on foreign
citizens and their communica-
tions, imagine how we here in
America feel, when our gov-
ernment, casting aside guar-
antees that citizens can expect
to be secure in their persons
and papers (thats the Fourth
Amendment talking, not us),
built dossiers on every one
of us that can be collated and
reviewed at anytime for any
reason or no reason at all.
The Guardian newspaper out
of London, in an odd lead to its
story on the issue, wrote that
The leaders of Germany and
France have rounded angrily on
Washington for the rst time.
We suspect what it meant
was that those individuals got
a collective bee in their bonnet
with President Barack Obama
and his administration. Were
fairly certain that they were
routinely grumpy about the pre-
vious administration, but thats
history.
In the here and now, it has
been proven that America,
regardless of the party afli-
ation of its chief executive, is
less in the business of protect-
ing individual freedoms, which
is its foremost duty, and more
in the business of collecting
data that might, vaguely, at
some point in time, perhaps, be
used for security purposes.
You dont trade liberty for
security. You dont trade liberty
for anything. Thats the lesson
that has to be impressed upon
this administration and all
those that will come after.
Its one thing, as a candidate,
to blast the opposition party
for prying into individual lives,
for overreaching its detailed
powers and for playing fast
and loose with things like the
Constitution. Its another, once
in power, to forget all that was
said before and carry on doing
the same illegal, unconstitu-
tional, reprehensible things.
Yet that is precisely what we
have in Obama, and the French
and German leaders are taking
offense, as well they should
as should every American who
has ever used a cellphone or
some of the biggest sites on the
Internet, all of which were play-
grounds for NSA snoopers.
Lebanon Daily News
(Lebanon, Pa.)
of Immaculate
Conception in West
Pittston and Holy
Redeemer in Harding
Sokach decided to
take his mission to the
parishioners. He spoke
at all Masses of both
church locations, mak-
ing an impassioned
plea for donations.
His words were effec-
tive, and the people
responded.
When I talked to
my parents, I learned
that diapers can be very
expensive, Sokach
said. I never thought
Id be able to get 10,000
donated.
Sokach is the son
of Donnie and Mary
Beth Sokach-Minnick.
He has two brothers,
Stephen, 12, and Blaise,
9. Tristan is a member
of Boy Scout Troop
302, West Pittston. He
plays football, baseball
and track and he likes
to read.
Nita Sarnak, director
of Hannahs Hope, said
the diapers will go a
long way enough for
at least three babies for
a year. Sokach also had
baby wipes donated in
addition to $1,113 in
cash.
Mary Beth Sokach-
Minnick said her family
was ooded out of their
Exeter Avenue home in
2011 and she remem-
bers how the communi-
ty responded with help
for ood victims.
People we didnt
know helped us, she
said. And we feel its
important for us to give
back now.
Mary Beth Sokach-
Minnick knew of
Hannahs Hope, its mis-
sion and Sarnaks dedi-
cation. I dont know
anyone who could stand
in her shadow as far as
volunteerism goes, she
said of Sarnak. Were
very proud of Tristan
and what he has accom-
plished. At 14 he has
made quite an impact
on some very young
lives. All of our boys
have kind hearts and
make good choices.
Tristan said he will
build on his success. He
will nd other causes
and other people and
organizations to help.
Ill do my best to
help where I can, he
said.
Sarnak said Tristan
Sokach is a hero to
her and her residents.
What a great exam-
ple of kids helping
kids, she said. A lot
of young boys are out
there doing no good.
There there are kids
like Tristan who are
doing so much to help
others.
The project was com-
pleted within a month.
The two churches
served as drop-off cen-
ters for the diapers and
other donations.
The day the project
began Tristan served
as an altar server and
lector before delivering
his speeches.
Our pastor said if
(Tristan) could only
do Mass, it would be
a clean sweep, Mary
Beth Sokach-Minnick
said with a smile.

Summary: Showers and thunderstorms will continue in the East and parts of the
Midwest today. Dry conditions will persist from North Dakota on south, while
record-challenging heat is forecast to remain in the West.
I want to make sure all data is correct
before employees can look at it and use
the system, Swetz said.
Swetz stressed a plan was in place to
allow workers to continue issuing checks
and collecting payments during conver-
sion. If a bill is due, we are paying it,
he said. Money is being received and
going to the bank. Services to the gen-
eral public are still being taken care of.
Employees also have no idea how to
use the new system, including work-
ers who process purchase orders and
checks, Grifth asserts. He said select
workers were supposed to be certied
as trainers before the system went live.
We did not do training. New World is
obligated to handle that, Grifth said.
Swetz said initial training has been
conducted for some workers, and
intense sessions are planned once the
system is up and running.
Lawton: Training coming
County Manager Robert Lawton said
training will be a priority because the
new system is more user-friendly for
tracking data and generating reports.
We had a core of people who used
the old system on a regular basis. Our
goal with New World is to enlarge that
group and empower staff to be greater
participants in monitoring and manag-
ing budgets, Lawton said.
Grifth said he supports the new sys-
tem but believes the administration is
jumping the gun to meet the implemen-
tation schedule promised to council.
Council approved the contract with New
World in October, and Grifth pointed
to a letter from the previous software
company estimating conversion to a new
system would take at least 18 months in
a county the size of Luzerne.
ACS would have charged about
$34,000 per month to keep its system
operational during the conversion,
Grifth said.
Now I have no way to know if the
new system is accurate because we no
longer have the old system to compare
it to, the controller said.

From page 1A
the civilian labor force grew and
the number of people working did
as well.
Since April, the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre MSA saw an increase
of 2,100 jobs, which was tops in
the state, besting the Allentown/
Easton/Bethlehem MSA, which
had the next highest gain with an
increase of 1,700 workers. The
state lost 9,200 jobs since April.
Zellers cautioned that the 2,100
is a preliminary gure that could
change, but as it stands it marks
only the fourth time since January
1992 that this MSA gained at least
2,100 jobs month-to-month. The
others came in 1992, 1996 and
2005.
However Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
was still the only one of the states
14 metropolitan statistical areas
with a rate above 8.9 percent and
for the 38th consecutive month the
rate was the highest.
The report, released Tuesday
by the state Department of Labor
and Industry data, also showed
Pennsylvanias rate was at 7.5 per-
cent, also down one-tenth, while
the United States rate was at 7.6
percent, up one-tenth over the
month.
Over the past year, the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre rate decreased one-
tenth of a point, Pennsylvanias rate
decreased four-tenths, and the U.S.
rate was down six-tenths of a point.
On the county level, the unem-
ployment rate rose to 8.9 percent in
Lackawanna County, dropped one-
half of a percentage point to 8.8
percent in Wyoming County and
dipped to 9.4 percent in Luzerne
County.
In a rarity for the region, the
annual percentage increase for
seasonally adjusted non-farm jobs
outpaced the statewide numbers
with the-tri-county region up 1 per-
cent, or 2,600 jobs, while the state
gained 4,700 jobs, or 0.1 percent
over the year.
Whats quickly become one of
the regions employment leaders,
the transportation, warehousing,
and utilities supersector, at 19,100
jobs, is at a record high level. That
employment supersector posted
gains over both the month and the
year.
That sector is becoming increas-
ingly more important in that
region, Zellers said.
A look at other sectors reveals
that in May, the mining, logging,
and construction sector and the lei-
sure and hospitality sector experi-
enced minimal seasonal increases.
Health care and social assistance
posted the largest gain of any sec-
tor, up 1,300 from April and up 700
from May 2012.
Professional and business ser-
vices, despite being unchanged
over the month, gained consider-
ably since May 2012, an increase
of 1,700 jobs. Retail trade and
durable goods manufacturing post-
ed the largest drops to employ-
ment over the year of 600 and 400
jobs respectively.

survey asking why people
chose to live here, and the
rst reason was because its so
pretty, Rosenstock said.
Butler Township came in
second in percentage growth,
increasing 1 percent. The
municipality also had the larg-
est dollar rise in taxable prop-
erty $7.9 million. The town-
ship has been receiving about
ve building permits a week,
mainly for new homes in the
Sand Springs development off
state Route 309, said township
Manager Maryanne Petrilla.
Residential development
appeal
Buyers also are snatching up
existing homes that are barely
on the market, she said. The
township is close to Interstates
80 and 81 and still has large
tracts of undeveloped space.
Weve seen a tremendous
amount of activity. We know
the economy is suffering, yet
things seem to be going very
well here, said Petrilla, a for-
mer county commissioner.
In addition to Butler, four
municipalities picked up more
than $2 million in taxable
property: Rice Township, $2.8
million; Jenkins Township,
$2.2 million; Dallas Township,
$2 million; and Wilkes-Barre,
$2.1 million.
Wilkes-Barre remains at
the top in overall assessment
among the 76 municipalities,
with a tax base of $1.45 bil-
lion.
Four municipalities had no
growth or reductions during
the six-month period: Jeddo,
Sugar Notch, White Haven
and Yatesville.
Laurel Runs base drops
Laurel Run had the larg-
est reduction $2.6 million.
Thats almost a 10 percent
decrease in the municipalitys
tax base, which is now $23.6
million.
Borough Mayor Gloria
Mosley said she did not know
which properties contributed
to the drastic decline but said
ofcials will cope with the
lost revenue, which amounts
to about $4,000 based on the
boroughs current property tax
rate.
Were a very small borough,
and we try to stay within our
budget and not overextend
ourselves, Mosley said. We
havent raised taxes for years
and want to try to keep it that
way for our residents.
Three other municipalities
had assessment losses over $1
million: Hazle Township, $5.8
million; Hazleton, $3 million
and Hanover Township, $1
million.
Shickshinny ranked second
in losses on a percentage basis
with a reduction of $285,100,
or 1.2 percent.
Borough Mayor Beverly
Moore attributes the decline
to the demolition of ood-
prone property and said the
tax base will further decrease
with upcoming buyouts.
Its sad because we didnt
just lose value from the tax
base. We lost residents from
the town a lot of them life-
long residents, Moore said.
Encouraged to appeal
County ofcials have
encouraged property owners
to le assessment appeals if
they believe they are assessed
too high because there are no
plans to conduct another reas-
sessment at this time.
Alu has advised council to
consider another reassess-
ment when sales and assess-
ments differ by 15 percent,
plus or minus.
The state has concluded
property in the county sold
about 9.92 percent below
assessed values last year.
In response to inquiries
from council about the out-
come of appeals, Alu issued
an email saying 391 assess-
ment appeal hearings were
held this year to date, and 81
percent received reductions.
Aug. 1 is the deadline to file
appeals for 2014.

I cant remember his name, but I see him
all the time, though, Masaitis said of the
good Samaritan, who she believes is in his
50s.
He was just a guy that was walking past
Boscovs, and found Steves wallet outside of
Boscovs, Masaitis said, relating the mans
account of stumbling on Martins billfold
outside the department store on South Main
Street.
Kirby box ofce manager Tina Yurko said
she saw Martin briey while he was waiting
for the man to arrive.
Steve Martin came out beforehand.
He was very anxious for the gentleman to
return the wallet, and he wanted to see the
gentleman so he could thank him in person,
Yurko said.
Yurko also did not know the mans name,
but she described him as appearing like a
construction worker or laborer who might
have been working downtown. Staff ush-
ered Martin and the man into another room
where they could have some privacy. Yurko
said she understood that Martin offered him
tickets for the performance, but the man
declined, saying his wife was ill and he could
not attend.
For Kirby staff, the incident was a bright
spot not to be forgotten and a reminder that
there are good people in the community.
I cant recall anything like it, Beekman
said. Imagine that you nd a wallet on the
street, look inside to gure out who the
owner is and it belongs to Steve Martin.
For Masaitis and a friend at Curry Donuts,
there was an added bonus. When they saw
the 67-year-old comedian in the alley behind
the theater, looking tired, they gingerly
requested autographs.
I dont think he really does autographs,
but my friend got down on his knees,
Masaitis said Tuesday afternoon as she
proudly displayed a scrap of paper bearing
four words: To Ellen Steve Martin.

So much so, that
Lecavalier kicked off
the annual signing
period Tuesday, three
days before it ofcially
began by signing a mul-
tiyear contract with the
Philadelphia Flyers.
The deal reects the
impact the addition of
several veterans, who had
their contracts bought
out, have made in boost-
ing interest in a free-
agent crop that lacked
star power a year after
Ryan Suter and Zach
Parise created a buzz by
hitting the market.
Lecavalier was able
to shop around early
because he was bought
out.
The depth isnt what
it has been in past year,
but there are some very
good players available,
Nashville Predators gen-
eral manager David Poile
said in a telephone inter-
view with The Associated
Press on Tuesday. Its
a different situation,
though, with the lower
cap so itll be interest-
ing to see what this crop
of free agents gets both
in terms of salary and
years.
The NHLs salary cap
will be $64.3 million for
the 2013-14 season, a
total signicantly less
than the $70.2 million
in contracts teams could
have on the books dur-
ing the lockout-delayed

LONDON If Sabine
Lisicki had a letdown after
defeating Serena Williams, it
didnt show.
If Lisicki is penciling her-
self into the Wimbledon nal,
she isnt saying.
Showing no drop-off after
her dramatic victory over
Williams, the 23rd-seeded
Lisicki returned Tuesday and
made quick work of a much
less intimidating opponent,
46th-ranked kaia kanepi,
dispatching her 6-3, 6-3 in
65 minutes to advance to her
second career Wimbledon
seminal.
I was ready today, Lisicki
said. I knew from the past,
out of experience, that I
needed to make the switch
quickly to be ready, and thats
what I did.
Indeed. Lisicki opened the
match by breaking kanepis
serve in the rst game and
didnt look back in that set.
In the second, she had one
hiccup a game in which
she double-faulted three
times to drop a break and fall
behind 2-1. She broke back
right away, however, and won
four of the next ve games to
close the match.
Now, the 23-year-old
German nds herself in the
Wimbledon seminals for the
second time in three years.
Her win against Williams
made her the new, odds-
on favorite to win the title
and even pushed Britains
favorite tennis player, Andy
murray, off the back pages of
a couple London tabloids.
All of which means almost
nothing at least to hear
Lisicki tell it.
match by match, she
said. Did that from the start
and will continue to do that.
Her next opponent is No. 4
Agnieszka Radwanska, who
defeated No. 6 Li Na 7-6 (5),
4-6, 6-2 in a match that took
more than 3 hours to com-
plete and included two rain
delays, an injury timeout and
a nal game that lasted more
than 10 minutes.
The other seminal will
pit No. 15 marion Bartoli of
France against No. 20 kirsten
Flipkens of Belgium.
Flipkens beat eighth-seed-
ed Petra kvitova 4-6, 6-3, 6-4
to knock the last remaining
Grand Slam tournament win-
ner out of the draw. Flipkens
won her rst career Grand
Slam quarternal, continuing
quite a comeback from health
problems that dropped her to
No. 262 last year, not even
eligible for the Wimbledon
qualifying tournament.
While Flipkens was win-
ning, one of Belgiums best,

BEAUmONT Two of the
rst four pitches Tuesday sailed
over the fence. Baseball couldnt
be this easy.
And it wasnt.
Despite the impressive barrage,
Back mountain American had to
battle to the end to defeat Bob
Horlacher 11-6 in the District 31
Little League major division win-
ners bracket nal.
American, the defending cham-
pion, will play at home Friday
against the team that emerges
from the elimination bracket.
American can win the title with
a victory. Horlacher will host the
elimination bracket nal at 6 p.m.
today playing Northwest.
Im thrilled at the way they
played overall, Horlacher man-
ager Tom Traver said. We had a
couple little miscues on defense,
but we never quit. We kept bat-
tling back. We only burned one
pitcher, so we should be in good
shape going into the (elimina-
tion) game.
Horlacher wasnt in good shape
early Tuesday.
American lead-off hitter
michael Luksic hit the second
pitch he saw over the left-eld
fence as part of his 4-for-4 day.
Ethan Zawatski followed and did
the same, swatting the second
offering over the right-center
fence. The hits were part of a
four-run rst for American.
michael Doggett added a two-
run single in the second, increas-
ing Americans lead to 6-0.
Horlacher clawed back within
6-2 in the bottom of the second,
using some American errors
and an RBI single by Tyler Faux
to score the runs. But again,
American struck for four runs,
this time in the fourth.
Luskic had an RBI double,
Derek Answini had an RBI single
and Dalton Simpson knocked in
a run with a sacrice y in the
fourth, pushing Americans lead
to 10-2.
Horlacher roared right back
with four runs of its own, cut-
ting the decit to 10-6. mike Lee
drove in two runs with a single
and cole coolbaugh brought
in another with a groundout.
Horlacher, though, couldnt get
the offense going in the last two
innings. It was retired in order in
the sixth, the only time all game
either team went 1-2-3.

Homer Bailey threw his
second no-hitter in 10
months and the rst in
the majors this season,
pitching the cincinnati
Reds to a 3-0 victory
over the slumping San
Francisco Giants on
Tuesday night.
Bailey (5-6) became
the third Reds pitcher
with more than one
no-hitter, joining Jim
maloney and Johnny
Vander meer still
the only big leaguer to
toss two in a row. Bailey
beat the Pirates 1-0 in
Pittsburgh last Sept. 28
and got another 17 starts
later.
The last pitcher to
throw one no-hitter and
then another before any-
one else in the majors
accomplished the feat
was Hall of Famer Nolan
Ryan, according to
STATS.
Baseballs career
strikeout king did it for
the california Angels on
Sept. 28, 1974, against
minnesota, and June 1,
1975, vs. Baltimore.
Bailey walked Gregor
Blanco leading off the
seventh, the only Giants
batter to reach base.
First baseman Joey Votto
threw out Blanco as he
tried to advance from
second to third on a
grounder.
With 27,509 fans
on their feet chanting
Homer! Homer! Bailey
nished it off by get-
ting Brandon crawford
on a high comebacker,
striking out Tony Abreu
and retiring Blanco on a
grounder to third base-
man Todd Frazier.
When Votto caught the
throw for the nal out,
Bailey raised both arms
in triumph, reminiscent
of that grand moment
in Pittsburgh last
September, then hugged
catcher Ryan Hanigan.
Teammates poured
onto the eld to cele-
brate and doused with a
red sports drink.
It was the 16th no-hit-
ter in cincinnati history.
No Reds pitcher had
thrown a no-no at home
since Tom Brownings

against the Dodgers at
Riverfront Stadium on
Sept. 16, 1988.

CHARLESTON, S.C. Alex Rodriguez
gures hell need all 20 days of rehabilita-
tion games to prepare for his return to the
New York Yankees.
He showed why Tuesday night.
The rusty third baseman went hitless in
two at-bats for the Charleston RiverDogs
in his rst game since left hip surgery in
January.
Rodriguez played three innings at third
base for the Yankees Class-A afliate and
came out after he took a called strike
three to end the third inning. He also
grounded into a double play in the rst.
Look, I am as curious as you guys are
to see how I am going to react. Its been
a while since I was in competition, said
before the game.
Rodriguez was tested quickly in the
eld when Romes Kyle Wren opened
the game with a bunt single to third.
Rodriguez charged strongly and elded it
with his bare hand, but could not throw to
rst on time.
Rome shortstop Jose Peraza also bunt-
ed down the third base line in the second
inning, but Rodriguez was too far back to
make a play.
The three-time AL MVP has been work-
ing out at the Yankees minor league com-
plex in Tampa, Fla., since May.
He looked healthy and enthusiastic to
begin his season. His swing in the bat-
ting cage was the same simple ick thats
helped him to 647 career home runs. He
took grounders at third next to Yankees
teammate Eduardo Nunez, whos recov-
ering from a left oblique strain. Nunez
played shortstop and went 2 for 3.
Rodriguez and Nunez enjoyed lunch
Tuesday before arriving at the ballpark.
Its my rst time in South Carolina,
Rodriguez said. Great Southern hospital-
ity so far.
Players from the RiverDogs and the
Rome Braves lined the dugouts to watch
Rodriguez work. Its the third straight
season Rodriguez has spent time in the
minors coming back from injuries.
Rodriguez has 20 days to rehab or the
Yankees would have to put him back on
the disabled list. Will he be back with the
big club this season? Were scheduled for
that 20 days from now, he said.
Rodriguez would not comment about
Major League Baseballs investiga-
tion into the now-closed Biogenesis of
America anti-aging clinic.
Rodriguez said it was likely hed stay on
to play here tonight.
Rodriguez looked smooth in the eld,
grabbing everything hit his way. His
throws to rst were strong and on tar-
get. When he was done with grounders,
Rodriguez signed autographs for fans
gathered next to the RiverDogs dugout.
Rodriguez and Nunez were in Charleston
with Pat Roessler, the Yankees director of
player development based in Tampa.
A-Rod hopes he can start having a
positive impact on the Yankees after
last years disappointing season and his
benching during the American League
Championship Series.
Ive got to tell you, Rodriguez said
at Riley Park. Im really, really excited.
This probably has to be the hardest injury
Ive tried to overcome. It has to be the
longest.

PITTSBURGH Jonathan
Pettibone pitched neatly into
the sixth inning, and the
Philadelphia Phillies snapped
the Pittsburgh Pirates nine-
game winning streak with a
3-1 victory Tuesday night.
The surprising Pirates
missed out on a chance to win
10 in a row for the rst time
since 2004, but the NL Central
leaders still have the major
leagues best record at 51-31.
Pettibone (4-3) won for
the rst time since May 14
a span of nine starts by
limiting Pittsburghs offense
to Garrett Jones homer in
the sixth. In 5 2-3 innings,
Pettibone gave up three hits.
The rookie right-hander
was lifted after Jones shot,
his eighth of the season.
Philadelphias much-maligned
bullpen repeatedly worked
around trouble for 3 1-3 score-
less innings to nish off the
Phillies second win over their
past ve games.
Braves 11, Marlins 3
ATLANTA Chris
Johnsons two-run, go-ahead
double was the big hit in a
four-run sixth inning that
helped the Braves to a win
over the Miami Marlins.
The Braves set a season
high with 16 hits and matched
their high for runs.
The game was tied at 3
before the Braves opened the
sixth with three straight hits
off Dan Jennings (0-1), load-
ing the bases. Ryan Webb
struck out Dan Uggla and
Reed Johnson before Johnson
gave Atlanta the lead with
his double past rst baseman
Logan Morrison.
Jordan Schafer and
Andrelton Simmons added
run-scoring ineld singles to
cap the big inning.
Morrison hit a two-run
homer in the rst inning.
Brewers 4, Nationals 0
WASHINGTON Stephen
Strasburg had hitters ailing
at curveballs for seven score-
less innings, getting all eight
of his strikeouts with the same
pitch in a magnicent outing
that was wasted when the
Milwaukee Brewers scored
off the Washington Nationals
bullpen for a ictory.
Strasburg put on a gem of
performance that dropped his
ERA to 2.24 and nearly over-
shadowed the games actual
outcome. Once again, the
Nationals bats abandoned
him, and Juan Franciscos two-
run double in the eighth start-
ed a scoring spree off Drew
Storen (2-2) as the Brewers
snapped a six-game losing
streak.
Phillies snap Bucs

catcher Russell Martin to score during the sixth inning of a game in Pittsburgh
on Tuesday. Howard scored on a double by the Phillies Delmon Young.
BOSTON Brandon
Snyder hit a bases-loaded
double and John Lackey
struck out six over eight
strong innings for the Boston
Red Sox in a 4-1 win over the
slumping San Diego Padres
on Tuesday night.
Lackey (6-5) scattered six
hits and walked just one while
moving above .500 for the
rst time since late in 2011.
Lackey has won four straight
decisions and appears well-
healed from the right biceps
strain that put him on the dis-
abled list after his rst start.
The only run Lackey
allowed was a solo homer by
Jesus Guzman in the seventh.
Koji Uehara replaced
Lackey in the ninth and
struck out two to get his fth
save for the Red Sox, who
improved to 6-1 during a
nine-game homestand.
Tigers 7, Blue Jays 6
TORONTO Torii Hunter
drove in the tiebreaking run
with a two-out ineld single
in the eighth inning, and the
Detroit Tigers rallied from a
4-0 decit to beat the Toronto
Blue Jays.
Hunter had four singles and
Miguel Cabrera hit a three-
run home run, his 26th, as the
Tigers snapped a three-game
losing streak. Colby Rasmus
homered and drove in four
runs for the Blue Jays, who
failed to extend their seven-
game home winning streak.
Omar Infante singled off
Neil Wagner (1-3) to begin
the eighth, moving to second
on Alex Avilas sacrice bunt
and taking third on Austin
Jacksons deep y ball. Hunter
followed with a comebacker
that bounced off Wagner
and rolled to shortstop Jose
Reyes, whose throw to rst
was too late to get Hunter.

AP Baseball Writer
NEW YORK A Major
League Baseball umpire was
recently dismissed for what
was believed to be the rst
known drug ouster among
umps, two people familiar
with the situation have told
The Associated Press.
MLB announced on June
14 that Brian Runge was no
longer on the staff and that
a Triple-A umpire had been
promoted, but didnt give a
reason. Only once since 2000
had such a change been made
in midseason, and that was
because of an injury.
The two people said Runge
failed at least one drug test,
then reached an agreement so
he could remain on the umpire
roster. When he failed to com-
ply with those terms, he was
released.
The people spoke on con-
dition of anonymity because
MLB didnt publicly say why
Runge was gone.
It could not be independent-
ly determined by the AP what
drug was involved.
Joe West, president of the
World Umpires Association
the union representing umps
declined comment Tuesday.
The AP was unable to con-
tact Runge through the union
or other umpires.
Like players, umpires are
subject to random drug tests.
Oakland pitcher Bartolo
Colon, Philadelphia catcher
Carlos Ruiz and San Diego
catcher Yasmani Grandal

USOC president nominated
for IOC membership
Stephen Wilson
AP Sports Writer
LAUSANNE, Switzerland The head of
the U.S. Olympic Committee was nominated
for membership of the IOC on Tuesday, a big
boost for U.S. efforts to regain influence on
the international Olympic stage.
In the latest sign of improved ties between
the two bodies, USOC President Larry Probst
was among nine candidates put forward
for election to the International Olympic
Committee.
The president of the Russian Olympic
Committee, Alexander Zhukov, was also nomi-
nated. The list also included former Olympic
high jump champion Stefan Holm of Sweden
and Kenyan distance running great Paul
Tergat.
The nominees were approved by the IOC
executive board ahead of a two-day meeting
featuring presentations by the three cities bid-
ding for the 2020 Olympics and the six candi-
dates for IOC president.
I am truly honored to be nominated for
membership in the IOC, and extremely grate-
ful for the potential opportunity to serve the
Olympic Movement, Probst said.
The nominees for IOC membership will be
up for election usually a formality at
the full general assembly in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, on Sept. 10.
Probst, chairman of video game publisher
Electronic Arts Inc., is in line to become the
fourth U.S. member on the IOC, joining Anita
DeFrantz, Jim Easton and Angela Ruggiero.
It would be fair to say the U.S. is a very
strong important partner of the IOC, IOC
spokesman Mark Adams said. Larrys nomi-
nation is a sign of that and a good sign of the
continuing very strong cooperation we have
with the USOC.
Also nominated Tuesday were KLM execu-
tive Camiel Eurlings of the Netherlands,
Mikaela Maria Antonia Cojuangco-Jaworski
of the Philippines, Bernard Rajzman of Brazil,
Octavian Morariu of Romania and Dagmawit
Girmay Berhane of Ethiopia.
Eurlings is set to replace King Willem-
Alexander of the Netherlands, who is relin-
quishing his IOC position after acceding to
the Dutch throne in April.
Probst would be the first USOC president to
hold IOC membership since Sandra Baldwin,
who resigned from both posts in 2002 after
admitting to having lied about her academic
credentials.
Baldwin was the second USOC president
to quit over an ethics issue. Robert Helmick
stepped down from the USOC and as an IOC
member in 1991 amid conflict-of-interest alle-
gations.
Bill Hybl served as both USOC president
and IOC member from 2000-2001.
The U.S. still remains without a presence on
the IOCs policy-making executive board. The
last U.S. board member was Easton, who lost
his seat in February 2006.
DeFrantz, a former IOC vice president, is
running for a spot on the executive board in
Septembers elections in Buenos Aires. She
lost previous bids to return to the board.
Without a voice at the top IOC table and
holding few top jobs in international sports,
the U.S. has lost considerable clout over the
years in the Olympic movement under-
lined by the stinging defeats for New York and
Chicago in their bids for the 2012 and 2016
Games, respectively.
However, under Probst and CEO Scott
Blackmun, the USOC has made significant
strides in mending fences with the IOC and
establishing an international presence. Last
year, in a major breakthrough, the USOC and
IOC resolved a long-standing dispute over
Olympic revenues that had kept the American
body alienated from the rest of the world.
The USOC is currently considering a bid
for the 2024 Summer Games. The U.S. hasnt
hosted a Summer Games since 1996 in Atlanta
or the Winter Games since 2002 in Salt Lake
City.
Probst is already a member of the IOCs
international relations committee, while
Blackmun serves on the marketing commis-
sion. DeFrantz is chair of the women and
sports commission, and Ruggiero heads the
coordination commission for the 2016 Winter
Youth Games in Lillehammer.
Probst and Zhukov were nominated to the
IOC for their roles as national Olympic com-
mittee presidents. Six others were put forward
as individual members and Holm as an ath-
lete.
With Probst and Zhukov, the U.S. and Russia
would each have four IOC members. Britain
also has four, while Switzerland has the most
with five.
Set to join the IOC ranks are two high-pro-
file names from track and field. Holm won the
high jump at the 2004 Athens Games. Tergat
won the silver medal in the 10,000 meters
at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, a year after
he won the last of his five successive world
cross-country titles. He also won the New York
Marathon in 2005.
Separately, four athlete members will be
sworn in on Wednesday: shooter Danka
Bartekova of Slovakia, rower James Tomkins
of Australia, swimmer Kirsty Coventry from
Zimbabwe and canoe-kayaker Tony Estranguet
of France. They join the IOC after voting
among athletes at last years London Olympics.
Coventry and Estranguet were put forward
after former Olympic hammer throw champi-
on Koji Murofushi of Japan and Taiwanese tae-
kwondo fighter Chu Mu-yen were disqualified
from the election for breaking campaign rules.
With 13 new members, the IOC membership
will grow to 113 in September.
HOUSTON A.J. Foyt will
miss Sundays race at Pocono
after having hip replacement
surgery Monday in Houston.
The 78-year-old IndyCar
team owner and four-time
Indianapolis 500 champion
had been suffering from pain
in his left leg for months and
was hoping to put off surgery
until after the season. But
after falling on his ranch in
early June, doctors told Foyt
he needed surgery now.
I guess I waited too
long to have it done though
because my hip was in really
bad shape, he said in a state-
ment released Tuesday by the
team. They couldnt believe
I was walking at all. The doc-
tors tell me it will be six to
eight weeks before I can trav-
el.
Until this season, Foyt had
been one of the most regu-
lar attendees on the IndyCar
circuit since the series was
formed in 1996 following the
split with CART.
In April, Foyt had back
surgery which caused him
to miss three races. He even
moved up the scheduled sur-
gery so he could be return
in time for Indianapolis, the
race that turned him into a
household name in racing
circles.
Foyt did attend practice,
qualifying and race day in
May and then attended the
race in Fort Worth on June
8. But the fall leading up to
that race has forced Foyt to
stay away from the track for
nearly a month. While Foyt
recovered from his prior sur-
gery, Takuma Sato won at
Long Beach, giving the Foyt
team its first trip to Victory
Lane since 2002.
Foyt is expected to spend the
next few days in the hospital
and plans to follow Sato through
the television broadcast.
I was a little nervous
about this surgery but they
had me up and walking the
same day, Foyt said. Im
sore but nothing like I was
before the surgery.
He has contended with
health issues throughout a
decorated racing career.
Foyt is the only driver to
win the Indy 500, Daytona
500, 24 Hours of Daytona
and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
He was the first of three driv-
ers to win the Indy 500 four
times. He has been named
one of NASCARs 50 Greatest
Drivers and was named
Associated Press co-driver
of the century. He also is a
member of the International
Motorsports Hall of Fame
Inductee, the National
Sprint Car Hall of Fame, the
National Midget Auto Racing
Hall of Fame and was one of
the inaugural inductees into
the Motorsports Hall of Fame
of America.

LONDON No. 1-seeded Novak
Djokovic and No. 2 Andy Murray
have yet to lose a set, let alone a
match, so far at Wimbledon.
The way things have been going at
the All England Club this fortnight,
thats quite an accomplishment.
Rafael Nadal, a 12-time Grand
Slam champion, was beaten in the
rst round. Roger Federer, owner of
a record 17 major titles, went out in
the second, as did four-time major
champ Maria Sharapova. Five-time
Wimbledon winner Serena Williams
34-match winning streak ended in
the fourth round.
And on and on its gone, with no
top-20 player other than Murray left
on his side of the draw, and a record-
equaling number of withdrawals or
mid-match retirements because of
health problems.
Everyone was a bit on edge, a lit-
tle bit uptight, reigning U.S. Open
champion Murray acknowledged,
because of what was happening with
the injuries, withdrawals, upsets and
stuff.
He and Djokovic have made it all
look so routine, though, heading into
todays mens quarternals.
On the top half of the bracket,
Djokovic a six-time Grand Slam
titlist and the only remaining past
Wimbledon winner will face
No. 7 Tomas Berdych of the Czech
Republic, the 2010 runner-up. No.
4 David Ferrer of Spain plays No. 8
Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina,
the 2009 U.S. Open champion and
the third man who hasnt dropped a
set through four matches.
On the bottom half, it will
be Murray against 54th-ranked
Fernando Verdasco of Spain, and No.
24 Jerzy Janowicz against his Davis
Cup teammate and pal, 130th-ranked
Lukasz Kubot, in a match between
the rst two Polish men to reach a
Grand Slam quarternal since 1980.
Magical, Janowicz said.
Janowicz and Kubot will be playing
in the quarternals at the grass-court
Grand Slam tournament for the rst
time, as will Verdasco and del Potro.
Ferrer lost at that stage last year.
The other three have much more
solid Wimbledon bona des: Murray
(2012) and Berdych (2010) have
been the runner-up, while Djokovic
won the title in 2011.
I feel good about myself in this
moment. I think I actually play a
better tennis on grass than I played
two years ago, when I won this tour-
nament, said Djokovic, who never
before had won every set he played in
ve previous trips to the Wimbledon
quarternals. For now, Im feeling
good. Im No. 1 of the world. I have
no reason to be concerned about my
game.
He is bidding to reach the semi-
nals for a 13th consecutive Slam,
the second-longest streak in mens
tennis history, behind only Federers
23-seminal run.
Djokovic has played in seven of the
last 10 major nals, and hes com-
bined with Federer and Nadal to win
31 of the past 33 trophies.
The only other men in those eight-
plus years to win a Grand Slam title
were Murray and del Potro. Murray
has elbowed his way into the upper
echelon, turning the Federer-Nadal-
Djokovic Big 3 into a Big 4 lately,
participating in the nals of the last
three major tournaments he entered
(he missed this years French Open
with a bad back).
Murray memorably broke down in
tears while addressing the Centre
Court crowd after losing last years
championship match at Wimbledon
to Federer. Murray was the rst
British man to reach the nal since
1938 and fell one win short of giving
the country its rst male champion at
Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.
Said Murray that day, his voice
cracking: Im getting closer.
Djokovic, Murray head Wimbledon cast for quarters
Djokovic Murray
Still drying my eyes, Clijsters tweet-
ed. So proud of how (Flipkens) handled
the big occasion for the rst time!
Flipkens, who was sidelined with blood
clots in her legs, counts Clijsters among
the few who believed in her when things
got rough.
The people believing in me, I can count
on one hand, she said. Its amazing.
Bartoli eliminated the last remaining
American singles player, beating Sloane
Stephens 6-4, 7-5 in a match halted with
Stephens serving, down 5-4 at deuce.
After the delay, Bartoli came out and
won two points to secure the rst set.
Soon after, she was showered with boos
because she had asked the umpire to stop
the match in the rst set when it started
sprinkling on Court 1.
I didnt really get why the crowd was
so against me at that point, Bartoli said.
Already, the courts were a bit slippery
even when its dry. When its wet, it can
get dangerous. I didnt want to stop the
match for no reason. It was a precaution.
Stephens said it would have been nice
to nish the game before the break, which
lasted about 2 hours.
Coming back and serving at deuce,
thats always going to be tough for any-
one, she said.
This is Bartolis deepest trip at a Grand
Slam since the 2011 French Open and her
deepest trip at Wimbledon since 2007,
when she lost to Venus Williams in what
remains her only Grand Slam nal.
third pitcher in the history of baseballs
rst professional franchise to get more
than one.
Vander Meer threw the only back-to-back
no-hitters in major league history in 1938,
beating Boston and Brooklyn. Maloney had
a no-hitter at Wrigley Field in 1965 and one
at home against Houston in 1969.
The Giants were no-hit for the 16th
time. The last three pitchers to hold them
hitless were all named Kevin LAs Gross
in 1992, Floridas Brown in 1997 and
Philadelphias Millwood in 2003.
Bailey was facing a lineup in a deep
funk two runs or less in nine of San
Franciscos last 12 games. He didnt need
much help to keep the no-hitter going
the Giants went rather quietly.
Last year was the season of the no-hitter,
with seven in all, which tied the modern
record. By this point, ve had been thrown.
So far in 2013, there had been only two
close calls.
Texas Yu Darvish was working on a per-
fect game when he gave up a two-out single
in the ninth to Houstons Marwin Gonzalez
during a 7-0 win on April 2. Detroits
Anibal Sanchez gave up a one-out single in
the ninth to Minnesotas Joe Mauer in a 6-0
win on May 24.
Bailey became the rst to take one all the
way this year.
Votto had a sacrice y off TimLincecum
(4-9), and Brandon Phillips hit a two-run
homer for all the help Bailey would need.
Lincecum had some of his best moments
last season in Cincinnati. Relegated to the
bullpen after losing 15 games during the
regular season, he went 4 1-3 innings in
relief to help the Giants win Game 4 and,
eventually, their division series, the rst
step toward a World Series title.
But there was no stopping Bailey this
time.
Shin-Soo Choo hit Lincecums fth pitch
deep to right. Hunter Pence jumped above
the wall and had the ball deect off the heel
of his glove back into play.
The umpires initially ruled it a home run,
but overturned the call after a review and
gave Choo a double. He eventually scored
on Vottos sac y.
Phillips hit a drive into the rst row in
left eld in the sixth inning, his 12th homer
for a 3-0 lead.
The eld was in good condition a day
after prolonged, heavy rain ooded the
tunnel to the umpires room and turned the
dugout steps into cascading fountains. The
tunnel to the umpires room was still wet in
places, but the 1-foot-deep standing water
was gone.

Lecavalier became unexpectedly
available after the Tampa Bay
Lightning bought out the contract
of their 33-year-old captain last
week. The Flyers did the same by
cutting ties with Briere, a 35-year-
old forward, and Bryzgalov, a
33-year-old goaltender.
Potential free agents such as for-
ward Mike Ribeiro, who appears
to have passed on re-signing with
Washington, or other players who
werent welcomed back, will hit the
market Wednesday for the first of
a two-day interview period before
any deals can be signed.
Its great to have players out
there, Detroit Red Wings coach
Mike Babcock told AP, but you
have to have money to spend.
With Lecavalier now off the mar-
ket, Briere and Bryzgalov come
into full focus. For now, though,
their former team Philadelphia
has secured the most marketable
player out there.
The Dallas Stars were interested
in Lecavalier, as well, but as gener-
al manager Jim Nill had indicated:
So are probably 28 other teams.
Itll come down to money and fit.
Lecavalier, who also spoke with
Boston over the weekend, didnt
mesh with Tampa Bays plans, or at
least his contract didnt with seven
years and $45 million remaining on
it.
By buying out the player they
selected No. 1 in the 1998 draft,
the Lightning saved more than $7.7
million cap space for the upcoming
season. The move cost them $32
million over 14 years because he is
due two-thirds the value of his deal
spread over twice the term of the
contract.
Now, its time for teams that
missed out on Lecavalier to re-eval-
uate their plans.
Free-agent forward Nathan
Horton, who helped Boston to the
Stanley Cup final, is planning to
visit with at least a few suitors over
the next few days. And Briere is
expected to explore his options by
phone.
Briere scored just six goals and
had a mere 16 points in 34 games
last season, but hes just two years
removed from a 34-goal, 34-assist
year. In Philadelphia, Briere had
two seasons left on a $52 million,
eight-year contract. And Bryzgalov
was just two years into his $51 mil-
lion, nine-year deal.
Brieres agent, Pat Brisson, said
about 15 teams already contacted
him to express an interest and
his client is looking forward to a
fresh start with a Stanley Cup-
contending franchise.
He still has a lot in his tank,
Brisson told AP. So its an oppor-
tunity for him.
this tournament, the coaching had been fantastic,
American manager Jeff Doggett said. This team in
particular is probably the most resourceful team Ive
seen. Theyre not afraid to use anybody, they have a
lot of condence, their coaches do a phenomenal job.
Theres a reason theyre here.
Horlacher hopes to be at American on Friday as well.
Traver feels his team with bounce back and will have
its ace, Faux, available to pitch.
Whoever we have tomorrow, were going to give
them a handful, Traver said. We got our ace to go
with, so Im pretty happy how we worked out with the
pitching. We would have liked to come out with a win
obviously, but we managed our pitchers pretty well.
American nished with 13 hits and scored in dou-
ble digits for the second time in its three tournament
games. Defense, though, was a problem as American
committed four errors.
Id like to tighten up our defense a little bit,
Doggett said. These are routine plays and weve got
to make them.
And the Plains Little Leaguer did nothing
to put a damper on those dreams Tuesday,
launching two long home runs while powering
Plains to a 12-2 victory over Mountain Top in a
District 16 Major Baseball playoff game short-
ened to four innings by the 10-run rule at the
Mountain Top Little League Complex.
Hes been on fire ever since All-Stars start-
ed, Plains coach Kyle Costello said. Hes a
great kid, does everything you ask of him.
Wozniak even pitched, working the final
three innings of one-hit shutout ball while
recording five strikeouts to nail down a victory
that sent Plains back home to host a winners
bracket game Friday.
Just hit the ball hard, drive it in the gaps, is
what Wozniak said he was trying to do.
Better yet, he kept driving it right over the
wall.
Wozniak followed Kyle Costellos sharp
single in the first inning with a blast over the
left-center field fence, giving Plains a quick 2-0
lead.
After Garret Wardle drove home Tanner
Smith with an infield single later in the first
inning, Mountain Top pulled within 3-2 on
Dean Ambosies two-run homer.
But Wozniak unloaded another bomb - again
with Costello aboard - driving a second-inning
shot over the right-center field wall to get
Plains comfortable again, 5-2.
Tell them what I texted you before the
game, Costello prodded his power hitter.
Big game tonight, Wozniak said.
His big shots triggered an avalanche of power
from Plains, which scored seven more runs in
the fourth inning when Carl Yastremski blasted
a three-run bomb over the center field wall and
a two-run homer from Costello got the game to
the 10-run rule.
Its a snowball effect, Costello said. One
guy hits, the next guy hits, it just snowballs.
In between those two seventh-inning hom-
ers, Wardle collected his second RBI single of
the day and Jamie Pahler added a run-scoring
double.
Weve been doing pretty well as a team,
Wozniak said.
But this offensive outburst was impressive,
even for Plains.
Weve been struggling with the bats a little
bit lately, Costello said. This is what our
teams capable of when we hit one through
nine.
And all this without perhaps the best hitter
on the Plains team. League star Tony Agenio,
who was expected to be slotted in the middle
of the Plains All-Star lineup, suffered a broken
ankle two days before the start of the district
tournament and will spend the rest of this sea-
son encouraging his fellow All-Star teammates.
Ive played with him ever since I was 8 or 9,
Wozniak said. Hes a great kid.
Looks like Plains found another one to lead
the charge.
Were in the drivers seat, Costello said.
Weve got all our pitching set up.

NICE, France Simon Gerrans
started cycling because another
Australian, who rst wore a Tour de
France yellow jersey, lent him a bike to
help him recover from an injury.
Now Gerrans is wearing a Tour lead-
ers jersey of his own.
He was part of the Orica Greenedge
squad that won the team time trial
by less than 1 second Tuesday in the
fourth stage, putting him in the overall
lead.
One day in yellow doesnt place him
in the category of his famous country-
men Phil Anderson, the rst Aussie
to wear the coveted jersey in 1981, or
Cadel Evans, the 2011 Tour winner.
But the 33-year-old Gerrans is still
proud of his accomplishment after
Anderson introduced him to the sport.
Phil was the rst Australian to wear
the yellow jersey and now to be the lat-
est Australian to wear the yellow jer-
sey, its a very special feeling, he said.
Considered an outsider to win the
15.5-mile dash along the streets of the
southern seaport of Nice, Orica edged
pacesetter Omega Pharma-Quickstep
by 0.75 seconds and nished in 25 min-
utes, 56 seconds. The top four teams
nishing within 10 seconds of each
other.
Gerrans, who won stage 3 in a
sprint nish, took the overall lead from
Belgian rider Jan Bakelants.
Chris Froome of Sky team is 3 sec-
onds behind Gerrans for the overall
lead, while two-time Tour champion
Contador is 6 seconds behind Froome.
Gerrans said Anderson was his rst
coach and lent me a bike to get start-
ed in competitive cycling as a form
of rehabilitation because of some knee
injuries I sustained while racing motor-
bikes.
Gerrans, who is not a contender for
overall victory, hopes to keep the jersey
for a couple more days.
The next two stages are mostly
at, so he may well be able to protect
his lead if there are no crashes or he
gets another stage win like he did on
Monday.
The Orica riders formed a circle and
then hugged and slapped each other on
the back when they were sure of the
win.
Its certainly been a very, very big
two days, said team sporting director
Matt White. Most teams are judged
very much by how they perform here
at the Tour de France.
Race favorite Froomes Sky team
nished third, 3 seconds off the pace,
while rival Contadors Saxo-Tinkoff n-
ished 9 seconds back.
Well take that result, Sky team
boss Dave Brailsford said. The boys
pulled together.
The peloton returned to mainland
France after three stages in the searing
heat and sinewy climbs of Corsica.
Under sunny blue skies, the teams
set off at 4-minute intervals and the
overall team standings were reversed,
meaning the rst teamto go was Argos-
Shimano and the last was RadioShack.
Argos-Shimano, including Marcel
Kittel the German who won the
Tours hectic rst stage nished
last, nearly 2 minutes off the pace.
Omega set a ferociously quick time
despite the fact their best rider
Tony Martin was carrying the scars
from his fall on stage 1.
Garmin-Sharp, convincing winners
of the team time trial when it was last
held two years ago, had high hopes of
placing veteran David Millar in the yel-
low jersey. But they nished in sixth
place, 17 seconds behind Orica.
I wasnt in good form today but
the team was very, very strong, the
36-year-old said. I think it was me
who was missing the seconds.
Martin was unconscious in the team
bus after his fall and taken to a hospital
for injuries that included bruising of
the lung. Thomas rode with a fractured
pelvis.
Unbelievable, Brailsford said,
praising Thomas. Real courage.
It was a tough day for Evans, with
his BMC team placed ninth, placing
him 23 seconds behind Froome and 17
behind Contador.
It wasnt a good operation. In 2007
I lost the GC (overall standings) by 23
seconds, so its a lot, Evans said. Im
a little bit disappointed.
This day belonged to another
Australian.

PITTSBURGH The
Pittsburgh Penguins
locked up another elite
young player long term,
announcing Tuesday
they had agreed to
terms with defenseman
Kris Letang.
A finalist for the
Norris Trophy as the
NHLs top defenseman,
Letang received an
eight-year, $58 million
contract extension. He
would have entered the
final season of an exist-
ing contract that carried
an annual salary-cap hit
of $3.5 million. That
will now jump to $7.25
beginning in 2014-15,
before which Letang was
scheduled to become an
unrestricted free agent.
Letang, 26, tied for
the scoring lead among
NHL defensemen last
season with 38 points
in 35 games. He has 44
goals and 165 assists in
385 career games over
six-plus seasons.
Letang joins star
centers Sidney Crosby
(12 years, $104.4 mil-
lion) and Evgeni Malkin
(eight years, $76 mil-
lion) as players the
Penguins have given
long-term contracts to
in the past 13 months.
Under the collective
bargaining agreement,
Letang cannot sign
till Friday. The pact
the longest allowable
by terms of the new
collective bargaining
agreement will run
through the 2021-22
season, when the 6-foot,
201-pound native of
Montreal will be 35.
Beginning in 2014-
15, the Penguins are
committing $25.45 of
salary-cap space to just
three players for every
season until 2021-22.
For the 2014-15 season
alone counting con-
tracts given wingers
James Neal and Chris
Kunitz, defenseman
Paul Martin and goalie
Marc-Andre Fleury
the organization already
has $44.3 million of cap
space accounted for just
seven players.
The salary cap for the
2013-14 season is pro-
jected at $63.4 million,
although it is expected
to increase dramatically
the following year.
The swift and skilled
Letang is one of the
NHLs top offensive
defensemen. But at
times, the former sec-
ond-round pick has
been criticized for play
in the defensive end
most recently during a
stunning sweep of the
Penguins by the Boston
Bruins in the Eastern
Conference finals.
Letang had no points
in the series and was a
minus-5 over the first
two games alone.
During Pittsburghs
run to the Stanley Cup
in 2009, Letang had 13
points, tying for the
postseason lead among
defensemen with four
goals.
Over the past three
seasons, Letang leads
all NHL defensemen in
assists (107). His 0.77
points-per-game aver-
age over that span ranks
second to Ottawas Erik
Karlsson for players at
that position.
Since the end of the
regular season, general
manager Ray Shero has
said extending Letang
was a priority.
Though he and agent
Kent Hughes talked for
a while, Shero could
have traded Letang
during the NHL Draft
Sunday. A similar sce-
nario played out last
summer, when center
Jordan Staal rejected a
10-year contract offer
and Shero dealt him to
the Carolina Hurricanes
in a trade announced
from the podium.
It never reached that
point with Letang.
Letang,
Penguins agree
on a long-term
deal

BOSTON Boston police
have asked authorities in the
Connecticut hometown of Aaron
Hernandez for their help with a
double homicide investigation
linked to the former NFL star,
police said Tuesday.
Hernandez is already charged
with murder in the shooting
death of his friend Odin Lloyd,
whose body was found June 17
near Hernandezs home in North
Attleborough, Mass.
The request from Boston police
in the July 2012 double homicide
was based on evidence devel-
oped through the investigation of
Lloyds slaying, Bristol Police Lt.
Kevin Morrell said. He said police
were asked to search the same
home in Bristol for both investiga-
tions, and a vehicle was seized at
the address on Friday.
Two people were killed in the
shooting in Bostons south end on
July 15, 2012. Witnesses reported
seeing people inside a grey SUV
with Rhode Island plates open re
on a vehicle carrying the victims,
29-year-old Daniel Jorge Correia
de Abreu and 28-year-old Saro
Teixeira Furtado.
Boston police have declined to
comment on whether Hernandez
is being looked as a possible sus-
pect in that case.
Prosecutors say Hernandez, 23,
orchestrated Lloyds execution-
style slaying. They say it happened
after the two went to a night club a
fewdays earlier and Lloyd spoke to
people Hernandez didnt want him
talking to. Two other men are also
facing charges in connection with
the death of Lloyd, who played
linebacker for the Boston Bandits
semi-pro football team. Hernandez
and Lloyd were dating sisters.
Hernandez has pleaded not
guilty to murder and gun charges
and is being held without bail
at the county jail in Dartmouth,
where Sheriff Thomas Hodgson
said he is acclimating well and
being held alone in a cell. He gets
an hour of outdoor recreation a
day, an hour to shower and make
phone calls, and an hour to talk to
visitors per day.
Also Tuesday, a Massachusetts
prosecutor asked for the publics
help in nding a car mirror con-
nected to the murder case against
Hernandez.
Police are seeking the drivers
side rearview mirror from a silver
Nissan Altima that Bristol District
Attorney Samuel Sutter said may
be anywhere between Odin Lloyds
home in Boston and Hernandezs
home in North Attleborough.
There is about 30 miles between
the locations, largely along
Interstate 95, although Sutter said
the mirror may be in a wooded or
secluded area along the route.
Hernandez was moved to a new
cell on Monday and does not have
any one-on-one interaction with
other inmates, Hodgson said.
The jails Gang Intelligence
Unit has completed its initial
assessment, which included an
inspection of multiple tattoos on
Hernandezs arms and torso, for
signs of past or current gang afli-
ations. Hernandez has denied any
gang ties, Hodgson said.
Connecticut cops: Double slaying probe tied to Hernandez
Kingsbury
Kingsbury says no reason to slow down ofenses
Ralph d. Russo
AP College Football Writer
NEW YORK Unless it
can be shown that up-tempo
offenses lead to more inju-
ries, Texas Tech coach Kliff
Kingsbury sees no reason to
slow down the game with
rule changes.
Kingsbury is heading into
his rst season with the Red
Raiders after being Texas
A&Ms offensive coordi-
nator last season. He has
been a part of some of col-
lege footballs most prolic
offenses as a quarterback
at Texas Tech under coach
Mike Leach from 1998-2002
and as a coach with the
Aggies and Houston.
Last year, Kingsbury
helped A&M quarterback
Johnny Manziel win the
Heisman Trophy and set
numerous Southeastern
Conference records.
Alabama coach Nick
Saban and Arkansas coach
Bret Bielema are among
those who have suggested
the NCAA consider tweak-
ing the rules to limit how
quickly offenses can run
plays and allow defenses
more time to substitute
players.
I would have to see
some scientic or statisti-
cal information showing
an increase in injuries,
because to me right now its
just talk, Kingsbury told
The Associated Press in an
interview at a Manhattan
hotel. You want me to play
slower, well, OK, you need
to get smaller, less strong
defensive linemen. To me,
its asking to do that.
Stop recruiting these
beasts up front and we wont
run as many plays.
From Oregon to Texas
A&M to West Virginia, fast-
paced spread offense that
run upward of 75 plays
per game are all the rage
in college football. Scoring
reached record levels last
season, even in the SEC,
which has prided itself on
its stingy defenses dur-
ing a run of seven straight
national championships.
I think if you have
the right personnel that
offense will work any-
where, Kingsbury said.
Weve always believed
that. I think last year
proved if you have the right
guys you can run it in any
league.
Eighteen of 124 FBS
teams averaged at least 80
plays per game in 2012.
Marshall led with 92.8.
Texas A&M ranked eighth
with 83.5.

Oil approaches $100
over Egyptian turmoil
Oil nearly reached $100 a barrel
for the rst time this year, as trad-
ers worried about disruptions to
Mideast supplies while anticipating
an increase in oil demand in the U.S.
Benchmark crude for August
delivery gained $1.61, or 1.6 per-
cent, to close at $99.60 a barrel in
New York after rising as high as
$99.87. Oil last crossed $100 a bar-
rel on Sept. 14 of last year.
Protests in Egypt continued as
President Mohammed Morsi faced
a military ultimatum that gives him
until today to meet the demands of
the millions who have taken to the
streets seeking his ouster. Traders
were concerned that the situation in
Egypt, as well as and the civil war
in Syria, could affect the production
and transport of oil supplies in the
Middle East and North Africa.
Traders are also awaiting the
Energy Departments weekly
report on U.S. stockpiles of crude
oil today.
Unhappy anniversary
for New Jersey casino
Police are looking for three men
they believe stole $500,000 worth
of jewelry during a smash-and-grab
at a store in the Borgata Hotel
amid the Atlantic City casinos
10th anniversary celebration.
Atlantic City Police Sgt. Monica
McMenamin says a call was
received from Borgata security at
about 8:45 p.m. Monday report-
ing the theft in a jewelry store. In
a statement, police say three men
ed the store on foot before taking
off in a dark-colored vehicle.
McMenamin says no weapons
were used or threatened to be used.
Hospitals to pay $34M
in Medicare settlement
Fifty-ve hospitals in 21 states
have agreed to pay $34 million
to the U.S. government to settle
allegations that they used more
expensive inpatient procedures
rather than outpatient spinal
surgeries to get bigger payments
from Medicare, the U.S. Justice
Department said Tuesday.
The settlement involves kypho-
plasty procedures used to treat spinal
fractures usually caused by osteopo-
rosis. It can be done as an outpatient
procedure, but he Justice Department
said the hospitals performed the
surgeries as inpatient procedures to
increase Medicare billings.
A similar settlement was reached
last year, when 14 hospitals agreed
to pay a settlement of more than
$12 million. And in 2008, the
Justice Department agreed to a $75
million settlement with Medtronic
Inc.s spine business. The govern-
ment was investigating allegations
that Kyphon, a company that had
been acquired by Medtronic Spine
in 2007, advised hospitals to do
inpatient kyphoplasties to bulk up
their Medicare payments.

A shorter holiday travel week will
compel fewer area residents to ven-
ture at least 50 miles to celebrate
Independence Day this year, accord-
ing to projections.
The forecast from AAA shows
nearly 51,000 residents of Columbia
and Luzerne counties heading out of
the area by automobile, plane, train
or bus. Thats a 0.7 percent dip from
last years Fourth of July holiday.
Nationally, the number of travelers is
expected to drop 0.8 percent.
Independence Day is typically the
busiest holiday of the summer travel
season; however, with July 4 falling
on a Thursday this year, the holiday
period has returned to the standard
ve-day holiday, compared to the
six-day period in 2012, said Jenny
M. Robinson, a AAA Mid-Atlantic
spokeswoman. Still, Wilkes-Barre
area holiday travel is in line with year-
ago gures, and AAA anticipates July
4 will remain the busiest holiday of
the summer travel season.
Today and Sunday will be the busi-
est travel days for the holiday, accord-
ing to AAA. One in three travelers
will depart today and nearly 40 per-
cent will return Sunday.
As always, automobile travel is the
mode chosen by a majority of resi-
dents. Eighty-four percent, or about
42,000, of Wilkes-Barre area travelers
will drive to their destination. Seven
percent, or an estimated 3,700, will
y to their destinations. The other
9 percent will travel by bus, train or
another mode of transportation.
Gas prices, on average, are at $3.40
in the Wilkes-Barre region. They were
hovering around $3.23 one year ago.
That slight increase is not likely play-
ing a role in the travel projections,
said Jana L. Tidwell, a AAA spokes-
woman.
If prices would have remained clos-
er to their 2013 peak price of $3.82,
set on Feb. 20, Tidwell said the pro-
jections might be telling a different
story.
Lack of plans, not gas prices, fac-
tored in to John Burns holiday itin-
erary. The Wilkes-Barre man said his
family will be having a get-together
and, without any other plans, he
decided to stay local. Im just going
to hang out with family and friends,
he said. I have gone to the beach at
Ocean City before, but its tough with
trafc and everything.
AAA notes that the Fourth of July
4 is the deadliest of the three summer
holidays.

U.S. buyers snapped up
new cars and trucks in June
at a pace not seen since
before the recession.
Continuing demand for
big pickups helped boost
sales for Detroits automak-
ers. Ford said Tuesday that
its sales rose 14 percent,
while Chryslers gained 8
percent and General Motors
rose 6.5 percent.
Japanese automakers
reported solid gains as well.
Nissans sales jumped 13 per-
cent, while Toyotas were up
10 percent. But Volkswagens
sales dropped 3 percent, the
third consecutive monthly
decline for the German car
company.
Analysts say they dont
see much that could slow the
sales momentum of the rst
six months. The factors that
juiced sales low interest
rates, wider credit availabil-
ity, rising home construction
and hot new vehicles are
likely to remain in place. So
far, hiccups in the stock mar-
ket, higher taxes and uc-
tuating gas prices havent
dampened demand.
I think the fundamentals
for continued growth in the
new vehicle sales industry
are intact, Chryslers U.S.
sales chief, Reid Bigland,
said last week.
Analyst estimate that U.S.
auto sales rose 6 percent to
8 percent in June compared
with the same month last
year. The auto pricing site
TrueCar.com predicts that
dealers sold cars and trucks
at an annualized rate of 15.7
million last month, the best
rate since December 2007.
Sales of pickups which
have been selling at a rate three
times faster than the rest of the
industry has continued at a
strong pace in June.
Ford sold just over 68,000
F-Series trucks, up 24 per-
cent from last June and its
best June for trucks since
2005. GM said sales of the
Chevrolet Silverado jumped
29 percent to 43,259, while
Chrysler Group sold nearly
30,000 full-size Ram pick-
ups, up 24 percent from last
June. Small businesses have
been replacing their aging
trucks as home construction
has picked up.
Young graduates may have
contributed to a rise in small
car sales, said Kelley Blue
Book analyst Alec Gutierrez.
Gas prices, which averaged
$3.60 a gallon nationwide in
June and were higher than a
year ago, may have steered
some buyers to more fuel-
efcient models, he said.
Sales of Fords recently
updated Fiesta subcompact
more than doubled to 9,363,
while Chrysler sold nearly
6,500 Dodge Dart small cars.
Consumer condence hit
a six-year high in June. And
the Standard & Poors 500
index had its best rst half
since 1998, up 12.6 percent,
although there was some vol-
atility late last month.
At the same time, auto
loan rates remained near his-
toric lows in June. The rate
on a four-year new-car loan
is averaging 2.7 percent,
according to Bankrate.com.
Pickups driving gains in auto sales
Sales of ford pickups at lots such as this one in exeter helped the automaker realize gains of 14 percent in June
over the same month last year, according to figures released Tuesday.

U.S. home prices jumped
12.2 percent in May from a
year ago, the most in seven
years. The increase sug-
gests the housing recovery is
strengthening.
Real estate data provider
CoreLogic said Tuesday that
home prices rose from a year
ago in 48 states. They fell only
in Delaware and Alabama.
And all but three of the 100
largest cities reported price
gains.
Prices rose 26 percent in
Nevada to lead all states. It was
followed by California (20.2
percent), Arizona (16.9 per-
cent), Hawaii (16.1 percent)
and Oregon (15.5 percent).
CoreLogic also says prices
rose 2.6 percent in May from
April, the 15th consecutive
month-over-month increase.
Steady hiring and low
mortgage rates have encour-
aged more Americans to buy
homes. Greater demand, a
limited number of homes for
sale and fewer foreclosures
have pushed prices higher.
Prices are still 20 percent
below the peak reached in
April 2006, according to
CoreLogic.
Sales of previously occu-
pied homes topped the 5 mil-
lion mark in May for the rst
time in 3 years. And the
proportion of those sales that
were distressed was at the
lowest level in more than four
years for the second month in
a row. Distressed home sales
include foreclosures and short
sales. A short sale is when a
home sells for less than what
is owed on the mortgage.
Home sales are expected
to increase in the coming
months. Thats because the
number of people who signed
contracts to buy homes rose
in June to the highest level
since December 2006. Theres
generally a one- to two-month
lag between a signed contract
and a completed sale.
One worry is that higher
mortgage rates could slow
the housing recovery. Still,
rates remain low by histori-
cal standards. And increases
in rates could boost home
sales. Thats because many
Americans may act to lock
in the lower rates before they
rise further.
A survey by the University
of Michigan released last
week found more Americans
believe it is a good time to
buy a home because both
rates and prices are just start-
ing to rise.
Rates have been trending
higher for two months. And
the average rate on a 30-year
xed mortgage leapt to 4.46
percent last week, according
to mortgage buyer Freddie
Mac. Thats the highest in
two years and a point more
than a month ago.
Mortgage rates surged
after Federal Reserve chair-
man Ben Bernanke said last
month that the Fed could
scale back its bond buying
later this year and end it next
year if the economy contin-
ued to strengthen. The bond
purchases have kept long-
term rates down.
Economists say that higher
mortgage rates are unlikely
to stie the housing recov-
ery. A more critical issue is
whether potential buyers can
get loans. There are signs
that banks have become more
willing to extend mortgages.

Burgers? Not on the FIRST Fourth
Michele Kayal
A roaring grill and an
icy brew are almost as
integral to July Fourth
as reworks. But todays
burgers-and-beers affairs
bear little resemblance
to the buffet served dur-
ing our nations rst
Independence Day.
America declared
itself a sovereign
nation with the sign-
ing of the Declaration of
Independence on July 4,
1776. Celebrations fol-
lowed almost immediate-
ly, but on the rst anni-
versary when the new
nation was embroiled
in ghting to establish
the freedom it had so
boldly declared the
Continental Congress
decided to put on a good
face with a full-on party.
That rst Fourth of July
is believed to have taken
place at City Tavern,
the Philadelphia public
house that hosted many
a gathering of the found-
ing fathers. Tavern chef
Walter Staib says the
menu likely would have
been based on the reci-
pes of British culinary
authority Hannah Glasse,
whose book The Art of
Cookery Made Plain and
Easy dictates not only
every dish of the three-
course dinner, but where
it should be placed on the
table.
Glasses July menu sug-
gests the signers of the
Declaration would have
supped on roast turkey
and fricasseed rabbit,
pigeon, crawsh and lob-
sters. There would have
been tongue and tur-
nips and lamb testicles.
And for dessert, apricot
tarts and roasted apples,
plums, jellies and cus-
tards.
Because Philadelphia
was a major port, the
meal likely also would
have included delicacies
from abroad, Staib says.
Limes from the West
Indies were used for lime
curd. Exotic fruit such
as mangoes, pineapples
and coconuts might have
been available, as well as
spices such as cinnamon,
nutmeg, mace and vanil-
la. Plus, there was local
seafood, such as salmon,
sturgeon and oysters.
Think of McDonalds,
Staib says. This was
oysters in Philadelphia.
They were fried in corn-
meal, poached, they were
everywhere. Some of the
largest oyster banks were
right here in the Delaware
(River).
Outside the tavern and
in various cities through-
out the former colonies,
artillery salutes, military
bands and grand speech-
es entertained the mass-
es, says James Heintze,
librarian emeritus at
American University
in Washington, D.C. A
newspaper account of the
Philadelphia celebration
reports a grand exhibi-
tion of reworks.
That very rst celebra-
tion set up the compo-
nents of what all future
celebrations would have,
Heintze says. It was all
organized.

Perfect, crispy
potato strips
come from
God
It really isnt
that hard to
make yourself
some homemade
french fries, or
pommes frites
as they are affec-
tionately called.
Some restau-
rants devote
t h e m s e l v e s
solely to this
absolutely amaz-
ing, easy-to-do mas-
terpiece. I spent years
of trying these crispy
potato strips from God,
and they are one of my
favorite snacks or side
dishes on earth. I can-
not imagine in 20 years
a restaurant of any
caliber not taking the
extra time to prepare
pommes frites. My rst
experience with frites
was actually in culinary
school. It was the rst
time I really looked at
the cooking process of
making frites as some-
thing that needed care,
attention to detail and
a steady hand to get
absolute perfection
and the crispiest fry
you will ever have.
It was ingrained in
my brain by my rst
French instructor, Chef
Martini, that making
this simple dish was
the basis for becoming
a great chef. I thought,
Its just a french fry.
No no no, Its so much
more than that. Its
almost life-changing. I
have had my fair share of
frites all over the coun-
try. Some I have had
were good, others I have
had were not so good,
and many you can tell
did not go through the
double-cooking process.
Then there are others
that, I was told, hit the
oil three different times.
Some use chef potatoes;
others use russets. But
one frite that I had,
that I knew used the
right potato, cooked
twice, in the exact
temperature, for the
exact amount of time,
is Balthazar in NYC.
Balthazar is far from
my favorite restaurant
I have ever dined at,
but I never had a bet-
ter frite in my
life. Crispy, per-
fectly brown and
delicious. This is
a fry that needs
no ketchup, no
sauce, no dipping
substance at all.
But if you nd
the need to dip
your crispy fried
perfection into
something, why
not try their house-
made mayo? The
salty crispy fry, in the
creamy, fatty, garlicky
aioli is the absolute
perfect combination.

CoURTESY PhoToS
Its not too difficult to make french fries at home, chef Gene
Philbin from Peculiar Culinary Co. says.
Three peppers can make your picnic potato salad pop
Alison Ladman
One variety of pepper just isnt
enough to get this potato salad ready
for your July Fourth celebration. So
we upped it to three black pep-
per, cayenne pepper and roasted red
peppers each adding their own
distinct flavor. And dont worry, the
bite of black and cayenne peppers are
tamed by the sweet roasted red pep-
pers and the sour cream dressing.
Want to add fourth and fifth
varieties? Mix in some diced mild
Peppadew peppers (tangy, but not
much heat) and banana peppers
(sweet and crunchy). For a crunchy
contrast, you even could add a sixth
with a diced fresh green bell pepper.
THREE-PEPPER BARBECUE
POTATO SALAD
Start to finish: 1 hour (15 minutes
active)
Servings: 8
2 pounds red potatoes, cubed
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to
taste
12-ounce jar roasted red peppers,
drained, patted dry and chopped
4 scallions, chopped
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar
cheese
Salt, to taste
Place the potatoes in a large pot and
add enough water to cover them by 1
inch. Bring to a boil and cook until
the potatoes are just tender, about 15
to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes,
then spread them on a rimmed bak-
ing sheet to cool. Sprinkle the cool-
ing potatoes with the vinegar, then
refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl com-
bine the sour cream, barbecue sauce,
chili powder, garlic powder, black
pepper and cayenne pepper. Stir in
the roasted red peppers, scallions and
cheddar.
When the potatoes are cool, gently
stir them into the sour cream mixture
until well coated. Season with salt.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

To track Tom Berengers
history with series televi-
sion, you have to go back to
the early years of One Life
to Live.
Another promising
young actor named Tommy
Lee Jones was on the then-
ABC daytime serial during
that period in the 1970s,
but except for the occasion-
al guest stint or miniseries,
Berenger largely has kept
his work focused on movies,
including the classics The
Big Chill and Platoon
and the popular comedy
Major League. However,
one weekly TV role has
lured him back, at least for
a while.
On Monday, Berenger
begins a three-episode arc
on TNTs The Closer
spinoff Major Crimes
as the estranged husband
of Capt. Sharon Raydor
(Mary McDonnell). A natu-
ral charmer, he re-enters
her world when he is added
to Los Angeles roster of
court-appointed attorneys.
He still has a gambling
addiction, which keeps
her cautious and makes
her worry when her teen-
age ward, Rusty (Graham
Patrick Martin), takes a
shine to him.
I know three people on
the show, so its a little bit
of a reunion, the friendly
Berenger reports. I did
a comedy in Spain with
G.W. Bailey (Rustlers
Rhapsody), and Raymond
Cruz worked with me
on (the movie) The
Substitute. And then
Mary McDonnell and I
did a fabulous play back
east with Kevin Spacey
(National Anthems), two
acts and three characters,
and it was sold out so this
was like old home week.
Theyre a really nice bunch
over there, very relaxed
and very happy, and thats
always good.
Though he considers
his new alter ego a little
comic relief for the police
procedural Major Crimes
is, Berenger hastens to add
his character isnt totally
light. He has a drinking
problem, Berenger says.
Thats part of the subtext,
and though he got over
that, he still gambles a little
bit. And he likes it, card
games and all that. Maybe
it was worse when he was
drinking.
Im kind of basing it on
a friend of mine, notes
Berenger. He didnt have
a drinking or gambling
problem growing up, but
the subplot just reminds me
of him. And also of Mad
Men, which Ima big fan of.
I talk to my daughter about
it, and its like were talking
about real people when we
talk about the characters.

The Bridge spans the troubles of U.S./Mexico border
Jacqueline Cutler

Theres nothing subtle
about the dark drama
The Bridge, premiering
on FX Wednesday, July 10.
It tackles complex issues
and insists that viewers at
least ponder the crisis on
the United States/Mexico
border. And it does that so
incredibly well that days
after watching, scenes lin-
ger, the message reverber-
ating.
Set in El Paso, Texas,
and Ciudad Juarez,
Mexico, the show opens
with a womans body left
in the middle of the bridge.
Each country could legally
claim half the corpse. Early
on its hideously apparent
how accurate that is. The
surgically divided body is
actually from two separate
women. The top half was a
judge from Texas, famous
for her hard stance against
immigrants. The bottom
half was from, thus far,
a nameless woman from
Juarez.
Police from both coun-
tries investigate. Juarez
Detective Marco Ruiz and
El Paso Detective Sonya
Cross (Demian Bichir,
Oscar-nominated for A
Better Life, and Diane
Kruger, Inglourious
Basterds) must work
together.
For Bichir, who grew up
in Mexico and became an
American citizen, coopera-
tion between the countries
is critical.
El Paso is considered
the safest city in the
United States, and Ciudad
Juarez is one of the most
dangerous in the world,
Bichir says. They are
only separated by a bridge,
so just the fact that we are
able to talk about the prob-
lems these two countries
share is a very important
issue. Nowadays everyone
blames each other. When
you are so close together
you need to work together
over every problem you
have.
His character, Marco,
appears very easygoing,
especially contrasted with
the harshness of Krugers
Sonya. At rst glance,
viewers could mistake
Sonya for just being mean.
That happens when you
forbid an ambulance to
pass through from Mexico
to the United States, even
though the patient in the
ambulance is American
and having a heart attack.
Personally I am very
fond of her, Kruger says
of her character. She is
socially awkward. I de-
nitely thought she falls
on (the) spectrum of
Aspergers.
Her condition alone
is very complex, Kruger
says. Because it affects a
lot of people, I am always
wary when characters
have a condition that they
become a tic or comic
relief and just something
you put in every episode.
I didnt want it to be some-
thing that was an affecta-
tion.
Theres a gritty realism
to the series, which was
adapted for American tele-
vision from the interna-
tional hit Bron about the
bridge between Denmark
and Sweden.
That realism is felt when
Marco is away from Sonya
and speaks Spanish.
The fact that we use a
lot of Spanish making this
makes the whole thing
real, Bichir says. Me
and my wife are Mexican
characters from Juarez.
Speaking English at home
does not exist. Many other
elements make this some-
thing you can feel that is
real.
It is ction, he says,
but you can get trapped
because of the sense of
reality.
The pilot does precisely
what it should by laying
the groundwork for the
rest of the series: This case
will continue to unfold. We
have a strong idea of who
Marco and Sonya are, and
the rst hour also carefully
weaves in two other plot-
lines bound to be impor-
tant.
A man kidnaps a woman
off the streets of Ciudad
Juarez. If anyone reported
her missing, she would
be added to the growing
count of vanished women
from Juarez. This man
talks trash about women
with a border patrol agent,
and when he returns to
his trailer in the states
essentially a prison on
wheels we glean insight
into his life that makes
him much more vital to
the story than a random
kidnapper.
And theres an arrogant
newspaperman who is put
in the most dangerous
position. Anyone who has
worked with a guy like this
understands why someone
would want to take him
out, though a bomb does
seem like overkill. He,
though, has the power to
ask the questions. And the
main question the uniden-
tied voice on a message
asks is: Why is one dead
white woman so much
more important than so
many across the bridge?
Its a question the series
will attempt to answer,
and if viewers are lucky, it
will take several seasons
to do so.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My
brother-in-law,
Dave, has twice
kissed me passion-
ately when my sister
was not around. I
made light of it and
pushed him away.
The third time it happened was when
he came to my house to do a little
repair job for me. That time he also
grabbed my breast. I exploded and
told him off.
Later on, Dave called and said he
was going to come back to do some
other things that needed attention. I
told him he was not welcome in my
house and that Im furious he would
do such a thing. He apologized and
said he hoped I could forgive him.
I am so angry! I no longer want to
be in his company. I also dont like
that I have to keep his behavior a
secret from my sister. I havent told
anyone. Please help.
Fuming in Florida
Dear Fuming: Your mistake was in
not setting your amorous brother-in-
law straight the first time he made a
pass at you. Because you didnt, he
thought his advances were welcome.
Now that you have made plain to
him that youre not interested, you
will probably have nothing more to
worry about.
I dont blame you for being angry,
but do nothing until you cool off. The
question then will be whether to tell
Sis that her husband behaves inappro-
priately and how you know.
Dear Abby: I recently moved back to
my home state and in with my grand-
mother to get away from my abusive
husband. I have also filed for divorce.
I love my grandmother dearly, but
when it comes to the divorce or the
therapy I go to weekly, she is not
understanding.
I believe shes frustrated because
Im in therapy and she doesnt see a
reason for me to go. She thinks if its
not talked about, then it never hap-
pened. How can I make her under-
stand that Im trying to heal wounds
that arent visible from the outside?
Trying to Heal On the Inside
Dear Trying To Heal: Your grand-
mother may come from a generation
in which therapy was something to
be ashamed of. A way to help her un-
derstand the importance of what you
are doing would be to invite her to a
session with your therapist, let her
air her concerns, and let the therapist
explain to her why it is important
that you work this through to become
healthy again.
Dear Abby: Im a teenage girl living
with my mom, who is a single parent,
and my younger sister. We mostly
live a relatively comfortable life, and
Mom owns her own home.
However, she constantly says
things to me and my sister like,
Were so poor, or, Were going to
live under a bridge, even in public!
We have asked her to stop several
times, but she doesnt care that we
are upset and embarrassed. How can
I get her to stop?
Embarrassed in the South
Dear Embarrassed: Rather than
ask her to stop, dont you think you
should approach her privately and
ask why she is saying it? She may be
joking, but her concerns could also be
a holdover from when her financial
situation was less secure. Please do it.
Her response might be educational.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Woman is left in a fury after her brother-in-laws unwanted advances
To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check or money
order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear
Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When
the past starts to feel like its
closing in on you and memories
seem to be holding you back,
adjust your mirrors, step on the
gas and let the past eat your
dust.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Recent
heartaches and emotional
double-vision have been a shock
to your system, and now youre
trying to ram your way through.
Instead, slow down, take a deep
breath, rest and regenerate.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Did you
choose this life, or did it choose
you? Either way, you see it as
your responsibility. Youll make
an adjustment tonight that will
help you create what you want.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). A mys-
terious person seen from afar or
engaged only by chance isnt at
all mysterious once you get to
know him or her. You might be
that mysterious person to
someone else, as well.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today you
naturally will see how people
might connect and how they
need one another. Youll bridge
groups of people, making it
easier for them to know one
another.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A distant
friend or relative is in the picture
again, and you might feel resent-
ful that they havent been in the
picture consistently all along.
But everyone inhabits his or her
own picture.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Those
who worked hard to get where
they are sometimes think they
are entitled to better treatment,
but not you. You believe all
people are equal.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A long
day feels longer when it seems
that all you do goes unrecog-
nized or unappreciated. Dont be
afraid to speak up for yourself
when the sun goes down.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Its hard to say what you value
more now: time alone or time
with loved ones. Both feel in
short supply, as too much of
your life seems to be devoted to
other responsibilities. But todays
fun changes that.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A
floating feeling dominates your
consciousness today. The pres-
ent seems everlasting when
youre fully in it, but one thought
later, and it seems like something
you cant possibly hold on to.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Distance might make the heart
grow fonder, but silence only
hardens it. An opportunity to
patch things up with a loved one
whos been long out of touch
should be seized at once.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youll
root for the underdog. You see
how sometimes there are too
many factors beyond a persons
control acting against their
achievement. Your assistance
and cheerleading will help give
someone a fair shot.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 3). To
have compassion for others you
have to have it for yourself
and you will to a much greater
degree. This frees up energy in
you. In August, youll try new
things and connect with different
people. December and March are
financially stellar. Aries and Leo
people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 6, 49, 47, 21 and 8.
