WILKES-BARRE -- The city
could be liable for thousands of
dollars in fuel taxes if its unable to
document that nearly 18,000 gal-
lons of unaccounted for fuel were
used solely for municipal purpos-
es.
Municipalities, school districts
and certain other nonprofit enti-
ties are exempt from paying taxes
on gasoline and diesel.
But they must be able to docu-
ment the fuel was used for official
purposes, ElizabethBrassell, press
secretaryfor thestateRevenueDe-
partment, said Monday.
If not, the state could seek to re-
coup the taxes, which this year
equaled 31.2 cents per gallon for
gasoline and 38.1 cents per gallon
for diesel, on undocumented fuel.
An entity has to maintain a dai-
ly accounting record of fuel re-
ceived, purchasedandof consump-
tion, Brassell said. Whenever we
come across information that the
appropriate tax was not paid ... we
could go after taxes that are due
the commonwealth.
City officials onFriday saidthey
cannot explain a discrepancy be-
tween the amount of fuel reported
on log sheets by employees and a
computer-generated report that
shows how much fuel was dis-
pensed from the tanks between
Dec. 1, 2011 and June 22. The
Times Leader reviewshowedadif-
ference of 10,260 gallons of gaso-
lineand7,620gallonsof diesel fuel.
Brassell said she could not com-
ment on whether the Department
of Revenue will audit Wilkes-
Barre, because suchinvestigations
are confidential.
Speaking generally, she said the
department has the authority to
conduct anaudit if it receivesinfor-
mationthat questions whether the
fuel was used for unauthorized
purposes.
Missing fuel could cost W-B
The state could go after more
than $6,000 in taxes on
unaccounted-for gas, diesel.

HAZLETON U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta is
challenging what he says is President Ba-
rack Obamas decision to grant de facto
amnesty to as many as 1.4 million illegal
aliens.
In a press conference Monday at his Ha-
zleton office, Barletta
claimed Obama does not
have the power to use
prosecutorial discre-
tion in the granting of in-
definitely renewable two-
year work permits to ille-
gal aliens who meet cer-
tain criteria.
Barletta, R-Hazleton,
said Congress took discretion away from
the executive branch in 1996 when it
passed the Illegal Immigration Reformand
Immigrants Responsibility Act.
That law clearly spells out the actions
that must be taken by federal officials,
Barletta said. In other words, the discre-
tion that President Obama claims he can
use no longer exists. Congress deliberately
eliminated it in 1996.
By stating they still have it, President
Obama is actually ordering federal immi-
gration officials to break the law.
The White House did not respond Mon-
day to The Times Leaders request for
comment.
Barletta is basing his actions on the
opinion of Kris Kobach, the secretary of
state in Kansas and the author of Hazleton
citys Immigration Reform Act.
Barletta, 56, has called for hearings into
prosecutorial discretion by two commit-
tees Judiciary and Homeland Security.
He sent letters to Chairman Peter King

LYMOUTH The theft
of American flags from
the Vietnam War Memo-
rial onMainStreet inthis
West Side community is
especially upsettingtoClyde Peters.
The Vietnamveteran led the cam-
paign to raise funds to erect the me-
morial that bears thenames of seven
Plymouth residents who were killed
in Vietnam. More than a dozen flags
were apparently stolen overnight
Sunday.
We put them up for Memorial
Day and a lot of people would stop
andtake pictures, Peters said. And
now somebody who has no respect
for the flag or the sacrifices all veter-
ans have made decided to ruin the
display.
We found a couple of the flags
thrown in yards just down the
street, Peters said. We think some
kids decided to have some fun.
Whoever is responsible should pay
for what they did.
The memorial and the site that
was developed to house it cost
around $10,000, he said. The Ply-
mouth American Legion Post 463
planted flowers to spruce up the dis-
play.
Peters said that when the granite
memorial was set in place, he in-
stalled red, white and blue lights to
illuminate it at night.
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Several American flags were stolen recently from the Vietnam War Memorial on West Main Street in Ply-
mouth. Shown at the site is Clyde Peters of the Plymouth VFW who is one of the volunteers who take care
of the memorial.
"Its difficult to believe that someone would have such disrespect for our
flag and our veterans. They obviously dont understand the meaning of the
American flag and the sacrifices made by our veterans."

SWOYERSVILLE -- Aban-
doned and neglected properties
were discussed at Monday
nights borough council meeting.
Zoning Officer Joseph Ruscav-
age said he had condemned a
property at 36 Brown St. because
he was unable to ascertain the
owner of the property.
Many abandoned properties
are owned by financial institu-
tions from out of state, he said,
and are often sold and resold.
Condemnation of a property
makes it likely that it can be sold
at sheriff sale at some point.
Councilman Chris Concert al-
so said he was concerned that
abandoned properties made it
impossible for neighbors to fully
enjoy their own properties.
Concert said he received nu-
merous calls on properties on
Slocum and Oliver streets.
He credited Ruscavage with
doing an excellent job, saying
There are only so many hours in
a day.
Council saidit wouldbefollow-
ing up with cleaning up neglect-
ed or abandoned properties.
Inanother matter, Councilman
Joe Onzik said it would be in the
boroughs best interest to sell a
Mack garbage packer the bor-
ough now owns.
Council President Ron Alunni
agreed, saying its sale would gen-
erate revenue for the borough.
The next council meeting will
be Aug. 6 at 6:30 p.m.

PLYMOUTH TWP. -- Town-
ship Supervisor Joseph Yudichak
announced Monday that the
storm drainage and paving work
on Redmond Road, as well as the
paving and restoration on Ather-
ton Road are nowcompleted pro-
jects.
Also, work on the stormdrains
and paving of all ditches on Pav-
lickHill are finished. Workis now
being done on Mt. Village, where
the storm system replacement
and road re-pavement repairs are
in process.
The repairs should be complet-
ed by Sept. 1, at which time the
repairs to Avondale Hill will be-
gin. The Avondale Hill repairs
consist of workbeingdone onthe
pipelines and drains.
That project should be com-
pleted by the end of the year, offi-
cials said.
In other business, residents
said they were concerned about
the stop sign at the Coal Street
Bridge. One resident said it is an
inconvenience to have to stop in
both directions on the one-car,
temporary bridge.
Yudichak said the sign is for in-
surance purposes, and it is a state
law to have the stop sign present
on the bridge.
Yudichak also said failure to
obey the lawcouldresult ina law-
suit to the townshipshouldanac-
cident occur.

Luzerne County Controller
Walter Griffithsaidhewill accept
anonymous ethics complaints in
writing or through a hotline be-
cause they wont be examined by
the county ethics commission.
His four fellow county ethics
commission members said they
were uncomfortable allowing
people to anonymously allege
wrongdoing.
County Manager Robert Law-
ton, a commission member, re-
cently said the controller may ac-
cept and investigate anonymous
complaints on his own. The con-
troller could then file an ethics
complaint if he believes a matter
he has investigated rises to the
level of a violation, Lawton said.
Griffith said he will set up an
anonymous hotlineandpublicize
an anonymous complaint proc-
ess after July 4.
Some people know accurate
information and will never come
forward with their names. Even
though we have whistleblower
protection for employees, people
are afraid, Griffith said.
He said he plans to appoint a
citizen committee to sift through
calls andwrittensubmissions be-
cause he doesnt have the staff or
resources to screen a large vol-
ume of allegations.
If the volunteer committee be-
lieves a matter warrants further
examination, Griffith said he
would use his controller powers
to obtain more information.
He envisions a three-citizen
committee andsaidhe will publi-
cly seek applicants.
If I find something suspect, I
can take it to the proper author-
ities or the ethics commission,
Griffith said.
In a public meeting Monday,
theethics commissionvotedona
newcomplaint formthat doesnt
require notarization. The new
version says complaint filers face
third-degree misdemeanor
charges if they knowingly make
false statements.
The commission also dis-
cussed the status of three ethics
complaints, without revealing
details.
The first alleged a person or
people covered by the ethics
code did not serve with honor
and integrity or in the public in-
terest.
The commission dismissed
the complaint, saying the alleged
violation occurred before the
code took effect on May 24. Law-
ton abstained fromparticipating,
which hints the complaint was
against one or more council
members. Council hires the man-
ager.
Another complaint was incom-
plete and returned to the filer,
and a third is still under review,
the commission said.
GriffithaskedLawtonif the ad-
ministration distributed notice
of the ethics code to covered em-
ployees and officials as required.
Lawton said he asked the human
resources department to alert af-
fected people and obtain their
mandatory compliance signa-
tures.

MOUNTAIN TOP -- Civic or-
ganization Mountain Top on the
Move is holding its 25th annual
Fourthof JulyParadeinFairview
and Wright townships on
Wednesday morning.
The parade starts at10a.m. on
Route 309 between the Chalet
Restaurant and Turkey Hill and
ends on South Main Road at the
Wright Township Municipal
Building.
The parade is half mile long
and will have 1,000 people par-
ticipating, including an assort-
ment of cheerleaders, Boy and
Girl Scouts, bands and up to 25
emergency service and fire
trucks.
We wanted to create an event
to give people of the area some-
thing good to attend. We hope
everyone comes out, has a good
time and then goes home to bar-
beque, said Gene Haverlak,
president of Mountain Top on
the Move.
Tenof us are involvedinplan-
ning the parade. They do an in-
credible job, he said of the vol-
unteers.
Viewers will see up to eight
people carrying the 15-by-20-
foot American flag that is used
annually at the Flight 93 Nation-
al Memorial in Shanksville, Ha-
verlak said. That memorial is to
honor those 44 who lost their
lives on Sept. 11, 2001, when
Flight 93 crashed in a remote
field after passengers and crew
battled the hijackers for control
of the plane.
Gene Stilp, Democratic candi-
date for the 11th Congressional
District, will bring the flag to
Mountain Top, Haverlak said.
At11:30a.m. Wednesdaythere
will be a flag-raising ceremony

WILKES-BARRE -- The Hou-
rigan, Kluger andQuinnfundfor
Childrens Advocacywill holdits
fifth annual Bike Helmet Give-
away on Wednesday during the
July Fourth festivities at Kirby
Park.
The fund, also known as HKQ
Kids, will have volunteers staff-
ing a booth from 11 a.m. to 7
p.m., when they will hand out
and fit free bike helmets to chil-
dren 12 and under if they are ac-
companied by an adult.
Project coordinator Sue
Greenfield said 1,200 bike hel-
mets will be available for chil-
dren, and more will be ordered if
needed.
On average, an extra 500 to
600 helmets are ordered by the
end of the day, she said.
She also noted an aspect of
helmet safety that she saidmany
parents do not know about.
Once a helmet has hit the
ground, that helmet is no longer
safe. It should be thrown away.
Even if the outside looks fine,
the inside that absorbs the blow
has been compromised and it
should be tossed. Thats why we
try to have this every year,
Greenfield said.
Having any helmet is useless
if it does not fit properly, saidKe-
vin Czekalski, owner of the
Plains Bicycle Shop on 21 N.
Main St.
Make sure it fits properly. If
the helmets too loose, it can roll
off the head and cause more in-
jury, but if its too tight, it can
cause headaches, he said.
All helmets to be distributed
Wednesday were purchased
from a manufacturer approved
under U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission standards,
and each comes equipped with a
users manual and CPSClabel of
certification, she said.
We have had an overwhelm-
ing response to our helmet give-
away the past four years and we
hope 2012 will be just as success-
ful, said attorney Michelle M.
Quinn, spokeswoman for HKQ
Kids.
Even though Pennsylvania
law requires kids under 12 to
wear helmets, we continue to
see too many children riding
bikes without them. At HKQ
Kids, we want all the kids in our
communities to have helmets
because we know they will pre-
vent serious injuries and save
lives, she added.
Bike helmets will be handed out to area youngsters

WILKES-BARRE A city
woman charged with running
into and killing a man and then
driving away pleaded guilty
Monday to a dozen charges re-
lating to the case, including
homicide by motor vehicle
while driving
under the in-
fluence.
Karen
McCann, 34,
of Blackman
Street, also
with an ad-
dress of King-
ston, entered the plea before
county Judge WilliamAmesbu-
ry to charges relating to the
June 2011 hit-and-run that left
64-year-old Aloysius McLaugh-
lin dead.
McCann, whowas scheduled
to stand trial on the charges
Monday, faces a minimum of
three years in prison on the
homicide charge when she is
sentenced on Sept. 27.
Amesbury said she may face
additional prison time on two
other felony counts of accident
involving death or injury and
two misdemeanor counts of
driving under the influence,
her second offense.
Amesbury said that while
McCann awaits sentencing she
McLaughlin was working as a
landscaper infront of a home at
173ThirdAve., Kingston, at the
time of the incident.
PolicesaidMcCannwas driv-
ing a Chevrolet Trailblazer that
struck McLaughlin. He later
died at a local hospital of mul-
tiple traumatic injuries, accord-
ing to prosecutors.
Prosecutors said McCann
had cocaine and prescription
medications in her system at
must continue to participate in
the countys Day Reporting
Center and undergo random
drug testing.
If you test hot (for drugs or
alcohol) I will remand you to
the Luzerne County Correc-
tional Facility, Amesbury
warned.
Nearly two dozen members
of McLaughlins family were
present in court Monday and
will likely speak at McCanns
sentencing hearing.
According to police,
Guilty plea made in hit-and-run
Karen McCann was charged
with homicide by motor
vehicle and DUI.

Four waterways in Plymouth and
Plymouth Township damaged by
flash flooding one year ago today
will be scoopedout andreinforcedin
a few weeks.
Nearly 6 inches of rain that fell in
less than an hour on July 3, 2011,
caused massive runoff from Ply-
mouth Mountain into tributaries
that draininto the Susquehanna Riv-
er -- Coal Creek, Brown Creek, Wad-
ham Creek and Duffy Run.
The powerful torrents ripped up
the creek banks and dumped sedi-
ment that could cause additional
property loss and flooding if it rains
hard again, officials said.
Sediment removal and creek bank
restoration of the upper portion of
Coal Creek should start by late sum-
mer, said Josh Longmore, Luzerne
Conservation District manager.
Awater companyandgovernment
agencies havecompletedrestoration
and debris removal in the lower sec-
tion of Coal Creek, Longmore said.
The Conservation District agreed
to oversee the project and obtained
grants to fund the work, which is es-
timated to cost between $450,000
and $500,000. The creek runs
through Plymouth borough and
township.
Well protect the rest of the
streambank and restore the channel
to its original capacity, Longmore
said.
The Conservation District ob-
tained a $674,790 state Department
of Environmental Protection grant
in February to fund the work. The
U.S. Department of Agriculture sub-
sequently agreed to fund 75 percent
of most of the work, he said.
The state grant will paythe 25per-
cent local match and any expenses
not covered by the agriculture de-
partment, Longmore said. If grant
money remains, it will fund stream

eas stemming from September 2011

with Pierce Street. Due to the
extensive renovations needed,
Rubin said, the new hospital
will not open until late winter
or early spring of 2013.
The 6500-square-foot build-

years ago, and when the time
was right, he purchased it in
October.
Pulling out a colorful floor

show six exam rooms, one of
which will double as a comfort

That is double what we cur-

Set in a park-like area, the
buildingwill provide additional
space and expanded hours to
meet the needs of the doctors
approximately 4,000 patients.

Uphill fight for president
T
he apparent victor of Mexicos presi-
dential race, Enrique Pena Nieto,
struggled Monday with the sticky bonds
of his partys notorious past, the limita-
tion of his mandate and an opponent who
has yet to concede
defeat.
His long-ruling and
now-returned Institu-
tional Revolutionary
Party, the PRI, won
only about 38 percent
of the vote and is un-
likely to get a majority
in Congress. In fact, it
may lose seats.
He faces an old guard in the PRI that
still exercises considerable power, an
ongoing war against fierce drug cartels
and a still sluggish economy. His closest
rival, leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obra-
dor, who polled a higher-than-expected
vote of about 32 percent, has refused to
accept the loss, and many of his militant
followers are suspicious of the results.

Test for kindergarten set
Anewdigital tool to test academic and

ment combines traditional testing with
teacher-led projects to generate an in-
stant, digital score.

WASHINGTONThe Oba-
ma administration is edging to-
ward decisions that would fur-
ther shrink the U.S. nuclear ar-
senal, possibly to between
1,000 and 1,100 warheads, re-
flecting new thinking on the
role of nuclear weapons in an
age of terror, say current and
former officials.
The reductions that are un-
der consideration align with
President Barack Obamas vi-
sion of trimming the nations
nuclear arsenal without harm-
ing national security in the
short term, and in the longer
term, eliminating nuclear
weapons.
The White House has yet to
announce anyplanfor reducing
the number of nuclear weap-
ons, beyond commitments
made in the recently complet-
ed New Start treaty with Rus-
sia, which obliges both coun-
tries to reduce their number of
deployed long-range nuclear
warheads to no more than
1,550 by 2018. As of March 1,
Russia had already dropped its
total to1,492andthe U.S. stood
at 1,737.
Obama has been considering
a range of options for addition-
al cuts, including a low-end
range that would leave be-
tween 300 and 400 warheads.
Several current andformer offi-
cials, who spoke on condition
of anonymity to discuss inter-
nal deliberations, said there ap-
peared to be a consensus build-
ing aroundthe more modest re-
duction to 1,000 to 1,100 de-
ployed strategic warheads.
Officials have said in recent
days that a decision could be
announcedthis month. But giv-
en Republican criticism of any
proposed further cuts and the
heating up of the presidential
election campaign, the White
House might put the decisions
on hold until after November.
The administrationhas indicat-
edit wouldprefer topursue fur-
ther reductions as part of a ne-
gotiationwithRussia, but some
have suggested that reductions
could be done unilaterally.
Any reductions are likely to
stir opposition among Republi-
cans in Congress, who believe
Obama underestimates the im-
portance of a stable nuclear de-
terrent, even though the cuts
would likely save tens of bil-
lions of dollars.

CAIRO Standing before tens
of thousands of adoring support-
ers in Tahrir Square, President
Mohammed Morsi opened his
jacket in a show of bravado to
prove he was not wearing a bullet-
proof vest. The message was clear:
He has nothing to fear because he
sees himself as the legitimate rep-
resentative of Egypts uprising.
In the week since he was named
president, Morsi has portrayed
himself as a simple man, uninter-
ested in the trappings of power
and refusing to take up residence
in the presidential palace
After eking out a narrowvictory
in last months runoff, Morsi has
claimed the mantle of the revolu-
tion that ousted Hosni Mubarak
last year.
But his MuslimBrotherhooddid
not join the uprising until it had
gained irreversible momentum.
And its critics say the Islamic fun-
damentalist group has hijacked
the movement that was led by sec-
ular and liberal youths.
Morsis moves are an attempt to
make up for the way he came to
power, narrowly defeating Muba-
raks last prime minister ina runoff
that had just a 51 percent turnout,
said Karima Kamal, a minority
Christian activist and writer.
He knows that he did not come
to power because voters likedhim.
But the general impression in the
street now is that he is a kind and
simple man who came from a sim-
ple family. This is reassuring to
many people, she said.
A U.S.-trained engineer, Morsi,
61, has none of the grandeur or
name recognition of his predeces-
sors.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
A military cargo plane from
North Carolina has crashed while
fighting a wildfire in the Black
Hills of South Dakota, killing at
least one of the six crewmembers
aboard and forcing officials to
ground the fleet.
There was no official word on
deathor injuries, but the family of
Lt. Col. Paul Mikeal of Moores-
ville, N.C., confirmed they were
notifiedearly Monday that he had
died in the C-130 crash Sunday
evening.
The 42-year-old married father
of two was a veteran pilot who
had served in Iraq and Afghanis-
tan.
Six crewmembers were aboard
the C-130 from the North Caroli-
na Air National Guard in Char-
lotte, N.C., said Lt. Col. Robert
Carver. The plane crashed after
dropping fire retardant.
Obviously there were casual-
ties, Carver said. We are also
thankful there were survivors.
Carver declined to give the
numbers of thosewhodiedor sur-
vived, but confirmed there were
some crew members being treat-
ed for serious injuries at a hospi-
tal in Rapid City, S.D.
Seven other firefighting C-130s
are being held on the ground be-
cause of the crash, which comes
as states inthe West are grappling
with one of the busiest and most
destructive wildfire seasons ever.
All eight C-130s had been dis-
patched to Peterson last week to
fight Colorado wildfires, includ-
ing the 28-square-mile Waldo Ca-
nyon Fire. That fire killed two
people and destroyed nearly 350
houses. The fire was 55 percent
contained.

ArabLeagueurgedSyrias
exiled opposition to unite
Monday, saying they
must not squandertheop-
portunitytoovercome their differenc-
es as Western efforts to force Presi-
dent Bashar Assadfrompower all but
collapse.
The stakes are highfor calming the
crisis, which NATO Secretary-Gener-
al Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Mon-
day calledone of the gravest security
challenges the world faces today.
ButmorethanoneyearintotheSyr-
ian revolt, the opposition is still hob-
bled by the infighting and fractious-
ness that have prevented the move-
mentfromgainingthekindof political
traction it needs to present a credible
alternative to Assad.
There is anopportunity before the
conferenceof Syrianoppositiontoday
that must be seized, and I say and re-
peat that thisopportunitymust not be
wasted under any circumstance,
Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby told
nearly 250 members of the Syrian op-
position in Cairo.
The sacrifices of the Syrianpeople
are bigger than us and more valuable
than any narrow differences or fac-
tional disputes, he said.
Nasser Al-Kidwa, deputy to U.N.
special envoy Kofi Annan, said at the
meetings opening that unity of pur-
pose and vision was not an option,
but anecessityif theoppositionwants
to bolster its popular support and
trust and increase international sup-
port.
The divisions are tied to issues at
the heart of the revolution: Whether
to seek dialogue with the regime and
what ideologyshouldguideapost-As-
sad Syria.
Unlike Libyas National Transition-
al Council, which brought together
most factions fighting Gadhafis re-
gime and was quickly recognized by
muchof theinternational community,
Syrias opposition has no leadership
on the ground.
Regime opponents inside and out-
side Syria are a diverse group, repre-
senting the countrys ideological, sec-
tarian and generational divide. They
include dissidents who spent years in
prison, tech-savvy activists in their
20s, former Marxists and Islamists.
Communication between those
abroad and those in the country is ex-
tremely difficult. Political activists in
Syriaareroutinelyroundedupandim-
prisoned. Manyareinhiding, commu-
nicating only through Skype using
fake names, andthe country is largely

eign journalists.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Loved
ones arent the only thing buried
in the 122-year-old Lowellville
Cemetery in eastern Ohio. Deep
underground, locked in ancient
shale formations, are lucrative
quantities of natural gas.
Whether to drill for that gas is
causing soul-searching as ceme-
teries including veterans final
resting places in Colorado and
Mississippi join parks, play-
grounds, churches and residen-
tial backyards among the ranks of
places targeted in the nations
shale drilling boom.
Opponents say cemeteries are
hallowed ground that shouldnt
be sulliedby drilling activity they
worry will be noisy, smelly and
unsightly. Defenders say the
drilling is so deep that it doesnt
disturb the cemetery and can
generate revenue to enhance the
roads and grounds.
Most peopledont likeit, said
70-year-old Marilee Pilkington,
who lives down the road fromthe
cemetery in rural Poland Town-
ship and whose father, brother,
nephew and niece are all buried
there.
I think its a dumb idea be-
cause I wouldnt want anyone up
there disturbing the dead, num-
ber one, and, number two, I dont
like the aspect of drilling, she
said.
Township trustees received a
proposal this year to lease ceme-
tery mineral rights for $140,000,
plus 16 percent of any royalties,
for any oil and gas. Similar offers
soon followed at two other area
cemeteries.
Longtime Trustee Mark Na-
ples felt the same way as Pilking-
ton when the issue arose even
though $140,000 could cover the
cemeterys budget, minus road
maintenance, for more than 20
years.
Our concern was we werent
going to let anybody come in
there and move anything in the
cemetery, he said. They werent
going to have my vote for that.
John Campbell, a lease agent
for Campbell Development LLC,
a company based in Fort Worth,
Texas, declined a request for
more information on his propos-
al, which was not expected to stir
any graves. He said only that the
offer was not accepted.
It was just more fuel for drilling
opponents in the Youngstown ar-
ea, already rocked by a series of
earthquakes that have been tied
to deep-well injection of waste-
water from hydraulic fracturing
and other drilling activities.
Theyre now fighting for a city-
wide drilling ban.
Concerns are driven largely by
a lack of information, said John
Stephenson, president of the Tex-
as Cemeteries Association.
A lot of it just has to do with
the way that its presented, he
said. Youre hundreds of feet be-
low the ground, and its not dis-
turbing any graves.
Its possible toreachoil andgas
deposits now from drilling rigs
placed sometimes miles away be-
cause of advances inwhats called
horizontal drilling. The technol-
ogy has made vast new shale en-
ergy deposits available under the
Northeast, Texas and elsewhere.
Stephenson leased mineral
rights under two of his cemeter-
ies within the past three years, he
said. Each is about a century old
and populated with 75,000
graves. Revenue from the leases
he wouldnt say how much
has allowedhimtopave roads, re-
pair fences and make other im-
provements during economic
hard times.
The Catholic Cemeteries Asso-
ciation in Pittsburgh also saw
benefits to leasing mineral rights
under 11 of its cemeteries com-
prising more than 1,200 acres.
The five-year lease, signed in
2008, came to light throughnews
reports in 2010.
Douglas Shields, a city council-
man at the time, was able to push
through a citywide drilling ban
amid the outrage stirred up by
the debate.
Everybody (inthe press) liked
the ghoulish aspects of drilling
on sacred ground and disturbing
great-Grandmas body and all
that, Shields said. Id say there
weremanyother issues of greater
immediate concern, but thats
what the hook to it was.
In Poland Township, officials
were full of questions: Couldthey
legally sell the mineral rights to a
public cemetery? What claim
would families with burial plots
have to the royalties?
You know what it is, its emo-
tional, PolandTownshipAdmin-
istrator JimScharville said. Alot
of people dont want any type of
drilling. Theres somethingabout
disturbing the sanctuary of a
cemetery. Were not talking
about dinosaurs now and crea-
tures that roamed the earth mil-
lions of years ago. Were talking
about loved ones who have died,
people we knew.
Plot owners have no legal
claim to the mineral rights at a
cemetery, Stephenson said.

Trustees of the Lowellville Cemetery in Ohio have received a proposal to lease cemetery mineral
rights for $140,000 plus a percentage of any royalties for any oil and gas, raising a tricky question:
Are cemeteries a proper place for drilling? Backers of the proposal say the royalties money will
enable them to maintain and improve the cemetery. Opponents say they are concerned that rela-
tives remains might suffer damage.

PHILADELPHIA A Philadelphia man
imprisoned since 1975 asked Monday to be
released in the wake of last weeks Supreme
Court ruling that calledmandatory life terms
for juveniles unconstitutional.
Tyrone Jones petitionis amongthe first fil-
edinthe wake of the courts 5-4 decision. The
56-year-old has served nearly four decades
since his arrest at age 16 in a North Philadel-
phia street slaying.
Pennsylvania prisons have nearly a quarter
of the nations approximately 2,100 teenlifers
because state sentencinglaws give judges on-
ly two options for anyone convicted of first-
degree murder: a death sentence or life in
prison without parole. Also, Pennsylvania ju-
veniles of any age can be tried as adults.
Some13-year-oldmurder suspects havelat-
er been sentenced to life in prison, according
to Marsha Levick, a co-founder of the Juve-
nile LawCenter in Philadelphia. Others took
plea deals for a life sentence rather than face
the death penalty, which was on the table for
juvenile offenders until a 2005 Supreme
Court ruling.
The circumstances under which a life-
without-parole sentence would be appropri-
ate should be uncommon, Levick said.
Several states are considering comprehen-
sive reviews of such cases. In Pennsylvania,
lawmakers are expected to wade into the is-
sue at a July 12 Senate committee hearing.
Philadelphia courts turned out at least 250
of the approximately 480 juvenile lifers now
housed in Pennsylvania, Levick said. The
sentences date back to the 1950s, and cover
every decade since then.
Pennsylvania Innocence Project lawyers al-
so hope to overturn Jones conviction. They
sayhe was convictedbasedsolelyontwocon-
tradictory police statements and despite
contrary ballistics evidence and witness de-
scriptions.
Jones was arrested in May1973 outside his
home, nine blocks fromthe murder scene, af-
ter police saw him wearing a red skull cap
similar to the one worn by the shooter. He
had a .25-caliber gun in his waistband.
Under questioning by police, Jones admit-
tedshootingat anunnamedboy while he was
with his friend, Michael Long. While still in
custody12 hours later, police learned the vic-
tim, Henry Harrison, hadbeenkilledby a .22-
caliber gun. Both Jones and Long then said
that Long had a .22-caliber weapon and had
fired at Harrison.
No witnesses ever linked them to the sus-
pected gang-related slaying, an Innocence
Project lawyer said.
Under duress ... we will say a lot of things
that arent necessarily true toendthe interro-
gation, especially a 16-year-old, said lawyer
Hayes Hunt, who filed Jones appeal as part
of his pro bono work with the Pennsylvania
Innocence Project.
Jones was tried, convicted and sent to pris-
on in June 1975, four months before his 18th
birthday. He had no prior arrests, but the
judge had no choice but to sentence him to
life without parole. Long was acquitted and
now denies that he or Jones were involved,
according to Jones lawyers.
Theysaidtheir client hadbecome resigned
tohis fate over the years, but is nowadjusting
to both the newfight over his conviction and
the Supreme Courts rejection of his sen-
tence.
The Supreme Court has been whittling
away at the harshest juvenile sentences, out-
lawing the death penalty in 2005 and life
terms for non-fatal crimes in 2010.

The state Supreme Court re-
cently enacted new rules allow-
ing use of a grand jury to bring in-
dictments in cases in which wit-
ness intimidation is a factor.
Under the rules, a grand jury
would replace a preliminary hear-
ing when witness intimidation
occurred, is occurringor is likely
to occur.
Courts discontinued the use of
grand juries 20 years ago in favor
of other procedures.
I think its great that the Su-
preme Court is recognizing these
issues occurring far too frequent-
ly in our communities, Luzerne
County District Attorney Stefa-
nie Salavantis said. Especially
when (we are) seeing more and
more witness intimidation issues
arising in our cases.
In May, police said Yajaria De-
Jesus terrorized his former girl-
friend and her three children by
holding them captive in their
apartment witha boxcutter anda
machete. He was charged with
several crimes, including intimi-
dation of witnesses.
In December, Richard Allen
Park was charged with soliciting
to kill a Luzerne County district
judge, assistant district attorney
and a police officer, as well as in-
timidating witnesses/victims.
The high court established the
newrules after a series of articles
published in 2009 in The Phila-
delphia Inquirer, including one
on intimidation by threats of vio-
lence to witnesses and/or wit-
nesses family members.
Witness intimidation per-
vades the Philadelphia criminal
courts, increasingly extracting a
heavy toll in no-show witnesses,
recantedtestimonyandcollapsed
cases , the article said.
Any of Pennsylvanias 60 judi-
cial districts could petition the
Supreme Court for approval to
use a grand jury. With court ap-
proval, a prosecutor could ask a
county president judge to autho-
rizeagrandjuryfor specificcases.
After a defendant is charged
and arraigned at a district court,
the case would go to the grand ju-
ry, skipping the preliminary hear-
ing stage at which the court said
most witness intimidation oc-
curs.
A grand jury consists of 23 ju-
rors and up to 15 alternates who
serve on a panel to determine
whether to indict the defendant
after which the defendant would
face trial inthe Court of Common
Pleas.
Grand jury rules welcomed

Rubin has known for several
years that he needed to expand
the practice.
I was considering the former
Pittston Animal Emergency Cen-
ter but moving to a location that
far away could have had an effect
on the clientele, he said.
In1995, Rubin moved his prac-
tice from North Main Street,
Wilkes-Barre, to the Market
Street, Kingston, location. At the
time, he said some patients were
upset with the move.
Keeping the practice in the
West Side was important to both
RubinandSankey, tomaintainits
community and family ties.
We build on relationships,
Rubin said. Our staff is very fam-
ily oriented and makes an effort
to stay away from the corporate
mentality.

McCann had turned from
Pierce Street onto Third Avenue
when her vehicle jumped a curb
and struck McLaughlin, who wit-
nesses said was kneeling down
near the end of the driveway and
hadhis backtoMcCanns vehicle,
according to court papers.
A co-worker of McLaughlins
said he saw the vehicle strike
McLaughlin, and he ran after the

McCann drove away, police
said, but was spotted on Market
Street, crossing into oncoming
traffic, nearly colliding with oth-
er vehicles.
When McCann spoke with po-
lice a short time after the acci-
dent, she told police she did not
believe she was in an accident,
and that damage to her vehicle
was from a previous incident.
Prosecutors said blood spatter
was visible on the vehicle.
At the time of the hit-and-run,
McCanns license was under sus-
pension for a drunken-driving
sentence imposed in February
2011, according to court records.
She was later found guilty of
driving with a suspended license
by a district judge and not guilty
of speeding and driving a vehicle
without a valid inspection. She
was sentenced to two months in
jail on the summary conviction.

WRIGHT TWP. A county
deputy sheriff was arraigned
Friday on charges she threat-
ened to kill her ex-partner.
Mary Jean Farrell, 51, of Ar-
thur Circle, Mountain Top, was
arraigned by District Judge
James Dixon on charges of ter-
roristic threats and harassment.
Farrell has been off duty for
an undetermined period on a
workers compensation claim.
She posted her $1,000 bail, and
was ordered to have no contact
with Jennifer Johnson. An emer-
gency protection-from-abuse
petition was put into place, and
Farrell ordered to surrender all
weapons. Gun owners routinely
have to temporarily surrender
their weapons when a PFA is
filed.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled for July 9, according
to court papers.
According to court papers, on
June 29, Johnson arrived at the
Wright Township Police Depart-
ment and said Farrell told their
daughter that she was going to
kill Johnson.
Johnson said Farrell drove by
her home at least five 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.
WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facil-
ity inmate who had pleaded no
contest to attacking prison
guards withdrew his plea Mon-
day and will now be scheduled
to stand trial on related charges.
Delacey Pressley, 33, entered
the plea in April. County Judge
Tina Polachek Gartley on Mon-
day granted the request to with-
draw no contest pleas to nine
charges of aggravated harass-
ment by a prisoner and two
charges of aggravated assault.
Polachek Gartley scheduled a
pre-trial hearing for Aug. 15.
Pressley, who had previously
been deemed incompetent to
face charges, had been a state
inmate serving a two-to-six-year
prison sentence on an aggravat-
ed assault charge and was
housed at the county prison
awaiting trial on allegations he
assaulted officers at the State
Correctional Institution at Dal-
las.
According to court records,
between Jan. 30, 2010 and May
4, 2011, Pressley on various
occasions spit on, struck and
threw feces at corrections offi-
cers at both the county facility
and SCI-Dallas.
WILKES-BARRE A Shick-
shinny man was sentenced
Monday to nine to 18 months in
county jail on charges relating
to two burglaries.
Anthony Corsey, 25, of state
Route 239, was sentenced by
Judge David Lupas on two
counts of burglary, and one
count each of criminal mischief,
theft, disorderly conduct and
resisting arrest stemming from
three incidents.
Lupas also sentenced Corsey
to two years probation.
According to court papers, in
June 2010, Corsey burglarized
two homes in Kingston. He
pleaded guilty to charges relat-
ing to those crimes in May.
In October 2011, Wilkes-Barre
police said Corsey tried to flee
from them during an incident
involving a stolen vehicle. He
pleaded guilty to charges relat-
ing to that case Monday.

KINGSTON Council heard
more concerns Monday night
about delays in receiving reve-
nues fromits earned income tax
collection agency.
We are in a crisis mode, Mu-
nicipal Administrator Paul
Keating told the council at its
regular session in reference to
problems with Centax, its con-
tracted tax collection agency.
Keatingreportedrevenues ex-
ceeded expenditures by
$211,959 at the mid-point of the
fiscal year. He said Kingston is
ina goodpositionfinancially be-
cause the municipalitys earned
income tax take is up by
$52,000.
But Keating said that the
problem with Centax is still a
bigconcern. He saidsome of the
northern communities also con-
tracted with Centax have not re-
ceived any tax money at all this
year.
Keating said four meetings of
the Luzerne County Tax Collec-
tion Committee have been held
about the failure of Centax to
collect taxes under the new
state lawnamed Act 32. He said
the commission wanted to find
out if this was a Centax issue or
an Act 32 issue.
But, he said, it is clearly a
Centax issue.
Keating said Kingston is
poised to terminate its contract
with Centax, but the agency has
retainedcounsel andis invoking
a 90-day curative period in
which to get its tax collection in
order.
Keating said this will not stop
the municipality from contin-
uing to pursue its course toward
termination.
Its a very serious and sad sit-
uation, he said
We face uncertainty in the
near future, Keating said after
the meeting.
Also, Mayor James Haggerty
announcedthe retirement of po-
lice Sgt. Jeff Coslett. He also an-
nounced that effective July 16,
Cosletts position will be filled
by officer Tom McTague.

A
nn M. Boruch, 78, a resident of
Ashley, passed away unexpect-
edly on Sunday afternoon, July 1,
2012, at her residence.
Her loving husband is Carl A. Bo-
ruch. Together, Carl and Ann cele-
brated their 57th wedding anniver-
sary on June 25, 2012.
Born on July 30, 1933 in Ashley,
Annwas the daughter of the late Mi-
chael and Marcella (Wegnovich)
Fritz.
Prior to her retirement, Ann was
employed for 19 years as a seam-
stress for the former Val Sports-
wear. Additionally, she worked for
many other garment factories
throughout the Wyoming Valley
and was a dedicated homemaker.
Annwas a lifelongmember of Ho-
ly Family Roman Catholic Church,
Sugar Notch.
A woman of many enjoyments,
Ann especially enjoyed traveling,
shopping and sewing.
In addition to her parents, Mi-
chael and Marcella Fritz, Ann was
preceded in death by her sister, Ja-
net Powell.
In addition to her loving hus-

By Order of:
Luzerne County Manager
WASHINGTON In pro-
moting the health care law,
President Barack Obama is re-
peating his persistent and un-
substantiated assurance that
Americans who like their
health insurance can simply
keep it. Republican rival Mitt
Romney says quite the oppo-
site, but his doomsday scenario
is a stretch.
After the Supreme Court up-
held the law last week, Obama
stepped forward to tell Ameri-
cans what good will come from
it. Romney was quick to lay out
the harm. But some of the evi-
dence they gave to the court of
public opinion was suspect.
A look at their claims and
how they compare with the
facts:

OBAMA: If youre one of the


more than 250 million Ameri-
cans who already have health
insurance, you will keep your
health insurance. This law will
only make it more secure and
more affordable.
ROMNEY: Obamacare also
means that for up to 20 million
Americans, they will lose the
insurance they currently have,
the insurance that they like and
they want to keep.
THE FACTS: Nothing in the
law ensures that people happy
with their policies now can
keep them. Employers will con-
tinue to have the right to mod-
ify coverage or even drop it, and
some are expected to do so as
more insurance alternatives be-
come available to the popula-
tion under the law. Nor is there
any guarantee that coverage
will become cheaper, despite
the subsidies many people will
get.
Americans may well end up
feeling more secure about their
ability to obtain and keep cov-
erage once insurance compa-
nies can no longer deny, termi-
nate or charge more for cover-
age for those in poor health.
But particular health insurance
plans will have no guarantee of
ironclad security. Much can
change, including the cost.
The non-partisan Congres-
sional Budget Office has esti-
mated that the number of work-
ers getting employer-based cov-
erage could drop by several mil-
lion, as some workers choose
newplans in the marketplace or
as employers drop coverage al-
together. Companies with more
than 50 workers would have to
pay a fine for terminating insur-
ance, but in some cases that
would be cost-effective for
them.
Obamas soothing words for
those who are content with
their current coverage have
been heard before, rendered
with different degrees of accu-
racy. Hes said nothing in the
law requires people to change
their plans, true enough. But
the law does not guarantee the
status quo for anyone, either.
So where does Romney come
up with 20 million at risk of los-
ing their current plans?
He does so by going with the
worst-case scenario in the bud-
get offices analysis. Research-
ers thought it most likely that
employer coverage would de-
cline by 3 million to 5 million,
but the range of possibilities
was broad: It could go up by as
much as 3 million or down by as
much as 20 million.

ROMNEY: After saying the


new law cuts Medicare by $500
billion and raises taxes by a like
amount, adds: And even with
those cuts and tax increases,
Obamacare adds trillions to our
deficits and to our national
debt, and pushes those obliga-
tions onto coming genera-
tions.
THE FACTS: In its most re-
cent complete estimate, in
March 2011, the Congressional
Budget Office said the new
health care law would actually
reduce the federal budget def-
icit by $210 billion over the
next 10 years. In the following
decade, the law would continue
to reduce deficits by about one-
half of one percent of the na-
tions gross domestic product,
the office said.
The congressional budget
scorekeepers acknowledged
their projections are quite un-
certain because of the com-
plexity of the issue and the as-
sumptions involved, which in-
clude the assumption that all
aspects of the law are imple-
mented as written. But the
CBOassessment offers no back-
up for Romneys claim that the
law adds trillions to our defi-
cits.

OBAMA: And by this Au-


gust, nearly 13 million of you
will receive a rebate from your
insurance company because it
spent too much on things like
administrative costs and CEO
bonuses and not enough on
your health care.
THE FACTS: Rebates are
coming, but not nearly that
many Americans are likely to
get those checks and for many
of those who do, the amount
will be decidedly modest.
The government acknowl-
edges it does not know how
many households will see re-
bates in August from a provi-
sion of the law that makes in-
surance companies give back
excess money spent on over-
head instead of health care de-
livery. Altogether, the rebates
that go out will benefit nearly
13 million people. But most of
the benefit will be indirect, go-
ing to employers because they
cover most of the cost of insur-
ance provided in the workplace.
Employers can plow all the
rebate money, including the
workers share, back into the
companys health plan, or pass
along part of it.
The government says about 4
million people who are due re-
bates live in households that
purchased coverage directly
from an insurance company,
Health care debate claims vs. facts
Statements by President
Obama and Mitt Romney on
new law are hit and miss.

SCRANTON A Glen Lyon
man has sued the city of
Wilkes-Barre, its police chief
and three police officers,
claiming he was falsely arrest-
ed and imprisoned in 2010.
Paul S. Stolarik says in a
lawsuit filed in U.S. District
Court that he was arrested for
violating a temporary protec-
tion from abuse order after re-
turning to his residence on Ju-
ly 2, 2010, even though he was
never served with the order,
was unaware of it and told po-
lice as much, the lawsuit
states.
According to court papers:
Upon Stolariks arrival at his
residence at 15 N. Meade St.
on July 2, 2010, his father,
John Paul Stolarik, who also
lived there, refused to allow
him inside and called 911 un-
der the mistaken assumption
that a temporary PFA he filed
against his son earlier in the
day was properly served upon
his son.
When Wilkes-Barre police
officers Ed Casella and Ken-
neth Jones arrived, Paul Stola-
rik told them he was unaware
that a PFA was issued and
made it clear to (them) that
no PFA was served upon him.
But rather than verify that
information, the officers ar-
rested him, took him to police
headquarters and turned him
over to officer Paul Crawford
while they filed a charge of in-
direct criminal contempt of a
court order against him.
Stolarik was arraigned on
July 3 on the alleged contempt
violation and jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Fa-
cility for lack of $5,000 bail.
He claims Casella and Jones
led the district judge to be-
lieve that a temporary PFA
had been served on him and
that they conspired to make
untrue statements to the dis-
trict judge, including that Sto-
larik told 911 that a PFA was
issued against him by his fa-
ther.
The charges resulted in Lu-
zerne County Adult Probation
placing a detainer on Stolarik
on July 6.
Stolarik was actually served
with the temporary PFA order
on July 8, when he was trans-
ported to the Luzerne County
Courthouse for a hearing to
determine if a permanent PFA
order should be granted. Be-
cause of the lack of prior ser-
vice of the PFA, the hearing
was continued to July 13 and
was to be combined with a
hearing on the indirect crimi-
nal contempt charge.
At the July 13 hearing, the
court dismissed the contempt
and PFA violation charges.
Police Chief Gerard Des-
soye and the city also were
named as defendants in the
lawsuit because it was the
chiefs and citys policy or cus-
tom to leave acts of its em-
ployees to their own discre-
tion, and failing to ensure the
police officers were properly
trained, the lawsuit states.
Stolarik claims his constitu-
tional rights guaranteed by
the Fourth and 14th amend-
ments were violated, that he
suffered physical injury, emo-
tional anguish and distress
and other inflictions, as well
as economic damages from
lost employment. He is seek-
ing compensatory and puni-
tive damages.
W-B made false
arrest, suit says
Paul Stolarik claims he was
never served with a PFA
before he was jailed.

DORRANCE TWP. The
township supervisors joined oth-
er municipalities in Luzerne
County complaining about the
tax collection services of Centax.
At Mondaynights meeting, Pa-
tricia A. Davis, secretary/treasur-
er, said the township is about
$14,000 behind in wage tax re-
ceipts becauseof policies institut-
ed by Centax officials that have
caused a delay in remittances.
Davis said that at a recent ses-
sion of the Luzerne County Tax
Collection Committee, a propos-
al was adopted giving Centax 90
days to make corrections to its
procedures. Davis said that if
Centax doesnt make adjust-
ments to speed up the collection
process, a resolutionwill be intro-
duced to rehire Berkheimer As-
sociates.
Supervisors Royce Engler and
Gary Zane said they are in favor
of retaining Berkheimer but
would abide by any decision
made by the county body.
The supervisors also an-
nounced that public hearings on
a conditional use permit being
sought by Pennsy Supply Inc. to
relocate its quarry off Small
Mountain Road have been tenta-
tively scheduled on July 24 and
July31, 6:30p.m., at theDorrance
Township Fire Hall, 402 St. Johns
Road. Attempts were made to
conduct the hearings on June 21,
but it was postponed due to a
scheduling conflict.
Earlier in June, the township
zoning hearing board approved
the plans of Pennsy and forward-
ed a recommendation to the su-
pervisors that a conditional use
application be approved. The su-
pervisors have scheduled their
own hearings to receive more
public comment.
Kevin Casey, Small Mountain
Road resident, said Monday that
he is going to continue to inter-
vene. Casey has long been a critic
of the quarry operation and has
retained attorney Bill Higgs of
Mountain Top in his attempt to
block the quarry.
Casey said he thinks supervi-
sors have already reached a deci-
sionto approve the plans of Penn-
sy and the hearing will just be a
formality.
He also said he is prepared to
file anappeal baseduponwhat he
calls collusion between Dor-
rance and Pennsy officials. He al-
leged illegal non-public meetings
between officers of the two enti-
ties have been held on a regular
basis. He said he has video evi-
dence to support his claim.
In another matter, Gary Snel-
son, zoning officer, said one of
two permits issued in June was
for timbering operations being
conducted by Wagner Lumber of
Owego, N.Y., on land owned by
Andrew Kramer along Blue
Ridge Trail.
Snelson said the operation was
undertakenbefore a permit appli-
cation was filed, thus Wagner has
been required to pay double for
its permit.
Also, supervisors actedtoinsti-
tute a Flood Plain Management
Ordinance in accordance with
the provisions of the National
Flood Insurance Program.
The ordinance is scheduled to
be officially imposed at the next
supervisors meeting, Aug. 6 at 7
p.m..

Im confident no one is misusing
gas, but its something we are
going to have to look into
TomLeighton
Although lacking any substantiation, Wilkes-Barres
mayor offered his assurance last week that criminal
conduct was not to blame for the undocumented use of nearly 18,000
gallons of fuel from the citys tanks. A review of records over seven
months showed a huge discrepancy between the tanks
computer-generated reports and the logbooks that city employees are
supposed to sign when pumping gas.
Writer objects to hiring
at sanitary authority
I
find it disturbing that the Wyoming
Valley Sanitary Authority hired a retired
state police captain to head its human
resources department.
The new manager has no degree in
human resources. What he does have is a
large state pension. He also will have a
new salary of $75,000 per year. When is
enough, enough?
Now, I do not begrudge anyone a pen-
sion or the right to work, but this seems to
be diving headfirst into the public trough.
My hats off to the two board members
who voted against this hiring.

F
our words to all those people cheering
Obamacare:
The Titanic has sailed.
JimSovaiko
Throop
Doctor: Obamacare is
shot in the arm for U.S.
A
s a practicing emergency physician for
more than 30 years, I applaud the
Supreme Courts decision to affirm the
Affordable Care Act, and I hold in high
praise President Obama for passing this
landmark legislation, which has been too
long in coming.
I have witnessed my fellow citizens who
cannot afford routine medical care and
prevention, not to mention basic dental
care, for lack of insurance. Our emergency
departments, which represent the nations
safety net, are overfilled with individuals
who have no other source of medical care
or access to medications for lack of afforda-
bility.
This plan, labeled a tax by opponents,
will cost only those people who can afford
to buy insurance and do not choose to do
so, about $700 as I understand it. No one
who cannot afford insurance will be taxed,
and those with insurance will not be taxed
either. Those who have insurance and are
happy with it will not be affected, but the
45 million without insurance will now be
privileged with access to one of lifes basic
necessities medical care which virtual-
ly every other civilized Western society
provides for its members.
The plan itself has been deliberately
misrepresented by Republican leadership,
specifically for political gain.
This demonstrates President Obamas
effective leadership and vision for a better
America. Members of the do-nothing Re-
publican Congress should be ashamed of
themselves for opposing it in the first
place, especially without providing any
other effective health care reform. It re-
flects their total opposition to any forward-
thinking and progressive governing as
proposed by Mr. Obama, and clearly under-
lines their plan to oppose virtually every
one of his plans to better America, such as
his jobs plan.
I am sick and tired of do-nothing poli-
tics. I see the Affordable Care plan as a
major step forward to get America out of
its doldrums.
I would like to see President Obama get
his jobs plan moving forward and replace
Americas crumbling infrastructure, while
creating numerous desperately needed
jobs. I believe government does have a role
in our society, and one of its chief respon-
sibilities is to provide a stimulus to get
people back to work when the private
sector doesnt seem able to do so. Unre-
stricted by governmental oversight, this
same private sector is responsible for the
banking and mortgage crises we are trying
to dig out from under.
Once again, shame on you Republicans
who have great health coverage and good
jobs yet choose to do nothing while much
of America is in real trouble. And kudos to
you, Mr. Obama and the Supreme Court,
for trying to get America back on track.

Visit places, win prizes
in great outdoors of Pa.
W
ith summer in full swing, how would
you like some free, close-to-home fun
and adventure? It is easy with the
Keystone Active Zone Passport, an annual
program that encourages people of all ages
and abilities to get outside and become
active at Luzerne Countys many parks,
trails and outdoor events. The passport
is a free guide that anyone can use to ex-
plore the areas wonderful, recreational
resources and cultural heritage.
This years passport boasts 30 passport
stops, offering more than 50 opportunities
to have outdoor fun; many of them are
within an hours drive from most Luzerne
County residents.
It is easy to participate. Register at the
programs website: www.KAZpassport.org.
Follow the easy instructions, download the
passport and start your exploring.
Visit as many passport stops as desired.
Each stop has a scavenger hunt question.
Find the answers, then revisit the KAZ
website to log your finds. Participants are
entered to earn awards for every five stops
logged and automatically are entered to
win the great prizes awarded at the pro-
grams end in October.
The more stops visited and logged, the
greater the chances to win prizes such as a
Sno Mountain ski package, Sno Cove wa-
ter park passes for four, family kayak ex-
cursions on the Susquehanna River, white-
water rafting excursions, family camping
weekends, YMCA memberships, gift certif-
icates and more.
In addition to the three state parks, the
passport includes places such as the Nuan-
gola bog, Hazletons new farmers market,
family fishing events, spectacular areas
open to the public through land trust con-
servation easements, a series of guided
downtown walks in Wilkes-Barre and Ha-
zleton hosted by the YMCAs, two sections
of the 165-mile Delaware and Lehigh Trail
that follows the route that anthracite coal
took from the local mines to markets in
Bucks County, the Susquehanna River
Water Trails North Branch section, and
many local trails that are lovingly managed
by a handful of organizations and munici-
palities with the help of hundreds of volun-
teers.
In addition to the promise of free fun
and great prizes, there are lots of reasons
to get out and get moving with the KAZ
Passport program. Regular outdoor recre-
ation can help increase physical activity,
which is recommended to help manage
weight, improve overall physical and men-
tal health, combat heart disease, dementia,
diabetes and certain types of cancer.
Spending time in the outdoors is a great
way to share good, quality time with fam-
ily or friends.
This program gives young people oppor-
tunities to discover and connect with their
natural world, an activity that will help
them learn to value, preserve and protect
the environment. It is a great way to learn
about your community and county, and to
support our local economy.
Register today and start your journey of
discovery and fun with the Keystone Ac-
tive Zone.

istrations ever-chang-
ing projections on the
number of permanent
in-state jobs it expects to be cre-
ated by the proposed Shell eth-
ane cracker plant in Beaver
County remind us of an old
joke.
Id like to buy a new suit,
says the man upon entering a
shop.
Ah, Im sure we can help
you, responds the very accom-
modating clothier.
After trying on a few styles,
the man settles on one he likes.
But do you have this in
blue? he asks the clothier.
Ever the jokester, the clothier
responds: Let me go to the
backroomandchangethecolor
of the light.
In the middle of June, the
number of permanent jobs the
administration claimed would
be created in Pennsylvania by
the Shell facility was up to
20,000. Tuesday last, the num-
ber was 10,000.
An administration spokeswo-
man said officials might use dif-
ferent numbers depending up-
on where its officials are speak-
ing. Good grief. She might as
well have said What numbers
would you like?
Such numbers games only
fuel the already heightenedsus-
picions that this project, packed
with billions in public subsidies
now characterized as unlimit-
ed, isnt all its crackeduptobe.

STATE OPINION: SHELL PLANT
Were cracking up
over funny figures
N
EARLY 18,000 gal-
lons of fuel go mis-
sing from the city of
Wilkes-Barres gas
pumps in only seven months,
and officials have the gall to
suggest its merely oops a
matter of lax record-keeping in
the logbooks.
We call it something else:
negligence.
A report in Sundays edition
of The Times Leader spotlight-
edsignificant andrepeateddis-
crepancies between
the amount of diesel
fuel and gasoline re-
moved from the
citys tanks and the
figures that employ-
ees reported they
had dispensed. Staff
writer Terrie Mor-
gan-Beseckers anal-
ysis concluded that about
17,880 gallons or about 30
percent of the total pumped
since Dec. 1 cannot be ac-
counted for in city records.
Regardless of whether the
problem ultimately is pinned
on a leaky tank, lazy workers
who fail to fill out the proper
paperwork or outright theft,
the city administration has no
excuse for not uncovering the
trouble much earlier and on
its own. No material goods,
much less a costly commodity
such as gasoline, should flow
through the citys control with-
out proper checks and bal-
ances.
Its distressing that the ad-
ministration of Mayor Tom
Leighton, now in his third
term, lacks oversight in such a
key spending area.
Fuming-mad taxpayers who
sounded off Monday about the
fuel fiasco rightly wonder what
gives with this administration.
Why seemingly cant it em-
brace modern technology to
provide 21st century services
and accountability?
Previously, Leightons group
was under the microscope for
arranging to sell city property
to a certain buyer without
widely advertis-
ing the parcels
and thereby en-
suring taxpayers
got the best possi-
ble deal.
This time, they
apparently bun-
gled the distribu-
tion of gas at the
Public Works Department, de-
spite owning an electronic sys-
temintended to monitor every
drop. For unexplained reasons,
the system was installed in
2009 but not activated, a city
spokesman said.
Other communities, such as
Hazleton and Kingston, close-
ly track fuel usage, Morgan-Be-
secker reported. Kingstons
method allowed it years ago to
pinpoint a problem, and a fuel-
filching employee was identi-
fied.
Wilkes-Barres egregious
episode takes the phrase self-
service to a new and disturb-
ing level. Unless the city can
provide a plausible explana-
tion for how its gas got away,
heads should roll.
OUR OPINION: WHERED GAS GO?
Citys fuel fiasco
drains confidence
Wilkes-Barres
egregious episode
takes the phrase
self-service to a
new and disturbing
level.

from the House Homeland Se-
curity Committee and Chair-
man Lamar Smith of the House
Judiciary Committee asking
them to hold hearings about
whether the executive branch
has the prosecutorial discre-
tion to not deport some illegal
aliens.
President Obama is overre-
aching his constitutionally
granted authority, Barletta
said. In 2011, the president
publicly said he had no choice
but to follow federal immigra-
tion policy.
So what changed? In the last
15 months, did Congress grant
the president new powers? I
dont remember doing that.
Barletta wants the govern-
ment to study the impact that
granting of de facto amnesty by
the Obama Administration will
have on a wide range of federal
programs, including Social Se-
curity and Medicare.
This study takes on new im-
portance after the Supreme
Court decision that upheld Oba-
macare, Barletta added. What
impact will the illegal aliens
who might be allowed to stay in
the United States have on the
cost of a national health care
law?
Barletta also unveiled two
new pieces of legislation, which
he introduced Friday in Wash-
ington:
H.R. 6070, which will re-
quire a study to determine the
effects this immigration policy
shift would have on national se-
curity, fraud, the American
worker, American students and
the U.S. economy, including the
impact on a wide range of gov-
ernment programs, including
unemployment benefits, Social
Security, Medicare, the new
health care law, federal grants
for college, work-study pro-
grams and more. The secretary
of Homeland Security would
not be allowed to implement
the June 15 policy memoran-
dum until the study is complet-
ed and submitted to Congress.
H.R. 6069, which will pro-
tect DHS personnel who contin-
ue to uphold current immigra-
tion policy and refuse to follow
the June 15 memo because it vi-
olates the 1996 Immigration
and Nationality Act. DHS em-
ployees who enforce federal im-
migration law and ignore Secre-
tary Napolitanos memorandum
could not lose their job, federal
benefits, be denied a promotion
or other similar benefit.
Barletta said the legislation
would delay the Department of
Homeland Securitys policy
memorandumissued on June15
regarding prosecutorial discre-
tion with respect to illegal im-
migrants until a thorough study
has been conducted by the Gov-
ernment Accountability Office.
The GAO would be required to
study the impact of the policy
change on national security, po-
tential fraud, the American
worker and the economy, he
said.

When it comes to getting the
power running again, all utilities
take a top-down approach that
seeks to get the largest number of
people back online as quickly as
possible.
First, crews repair substations
that send power to thousands of
homes and businesses. Next, they

Some people said the destruc-

Storm Isabel in 2003 and Hurri-

Some backup utility crews ar-
rived Sunday in Maryland, but
many were not expected until
sometime Monday. Thats because
thestormarrivedsoquickly, unlike
hurricanes, which typically ap-
proach with several days of warn-
ing and give out-of-state crews
plentyof timetoget intoplace.
After Isabel, it took electricity
supplier Pepco eight days to re-
storepowertomost of the500,000-
plus customers inWashingtonand
the surrounding areas. About
443,000 lost power at the peak of
this storm, and restoration work
will likelylast intotheweekend.
Last year, it took Baltimore Gas
and Electric company eight and a
half days to restore power to all
750,000customerswholost power
duringHurricane Irene. This time,
the power company initially con-
fronted more than 600,000 people
without power. It said restoration
efforts will extend into the week-
end.

This type of widespread, exten-

ability to quickly provide accurate
restoration times, especially when
original damage assessments are
revised upon closer inspection of

Some customers were getting

Pepco spokeswoman Myra Op-
pel said the differences between
storms can be significant. Two
storms could have the same num-
ber of customers withoutages, but
the root of the problem could be
downed wires in one situation and
downed poles in another. But re-

As a result, the length of time it

The Department of Revenue
previously investigated the city
in 2009 after learning it had im-
properly resold fuel to the
Wilkes-Barre Area School Dis-
trict, Wilkes-Barre Housing Au-
thority and the Wilkes-Barre Ca-
reer and Technology Center
fromJanuary 2007 to June 2009,
city officials confirmed.
In that case, the city was re-
quired to pay $5,316 in taxes and
penalties after the department
determined it was not autho-
rized to resell the fuel because it
didnothaveadistributorlicense.
Cityofficials hadbelievedthey
could resell the fuel to other tax-
exempt entities and did not
know a distributor license was
required.
Recent discrepancy
In the most recent case, a
Times Leader reporter discov-
ered a discrepancy between log
books cityemployees fill out that
detail how much fuel they dis-
pense and computer generated
inventory reports that showhow
much fuel was dispensed from
the tanks.
If an audit were to confirmthe
newspapers findings, the city
could be required to reimburse
thestatebacktaxesof asmuchas
$3,201 (10,260 x 31.2 cents per
gallon) in gasoline and $2,903
(7,620 x 38.1cents per gallon) in
diesel, if it cant account for how
the fuel was used.
The Department of Revenue
can reviewrecords as far back as
two years, so the tax liability
could be even more if its found
thecityfailedtodocument usage
in prior years as well.
City Administrator Marie
McCormickonFriday saidshe is
confident the city would be able
to verify how the unaccounted
for fuel was used should the De-
partment of Revenue conduct an
investigation.
McCormick said she believes
thecity, if required, wouldbeable
to estimate the amount of fuel
used by city vehicles to show
where it went.
For instance, we know we
have x number of packers and
we know how often they are
used. We could estimate how
much gas you would need in
them,shesaid. Therewouldbe
those types of things we can
prove.

WILKES-BARRE Respon-
ding to a report that the city
could not account for nearly
18,000 gallons of fuel, the state
Department of Environmental
Protection on Monday tested
the citys fuel tanks to ensure
there were no leaks.
DEP spokeswoman Colleen
Connelly said inspectors spent
about two hours at the tanks.
She said the final report is not
complete, but the preliminary
investigation showed no gaso-
line or diesel fuel is escaping in-
to the environment.
ConnellysaidDEPdecidedto
inspect the tanks as a precau-
tionary measure after reading a
Times Leader report on Sunday
that revealed city officials could
not account for a 17,880 gallon
discrepancy between comput-
erized tank reports and log re-
ports submitted by employees
between Dec. 1, 2011 and June
22.
Mayor Tom Leighton and
other city officials on Friday
said they believe the discrepan-
cy was caused by the failure of
employees to fill out the logs.
Leighton said he planned to
meet with department heads
this week to discuss the matter.
Drew McLaughlin, city ad-
ministrative coordinator, did
not respond to an email Mon-
day seeking information on
whether any meetings were
held or if the city has imple-
mented any changes.
The citys pumps are main-
tained by Corey Inc. of Plains
Township. Audrey Waxmonsky,
co-owner of the company, said
she is confident the tanks are
not leaking because they are
equipped with a leak detection
system.
The system does a self check
each week to ensure there are
no fuel losses. The tanks also
are equipped with an alarmthat
will trigger if there is an unex-
plained change in fuel levels,
she said.
The probes are monitoring
it continuously. If there is any
breach, it knows whats happen-
ing in the tank, she said.

not through an employer, and
experts say those households
are the most likely to get a re-
bate check directly.
The government says the re-
bates have an average value of
$151 per household. But em-
ployers, who typically pay 70 to
80 percent of premiums, are
likely to get most of that.

ROMNEY: Obamacare rais-


es taxes on the American peo-
ple by approximately $500 bil-
lion.
THE FACTS: The tax in-
creases fall heavily on upper-in-
come people, health insurance
companies, drug makers and
medical device manufacturers.
People who fail to obtain
health insurance as required by
the law will face a tax penalty,
although thats expected to hit
relatively few because the vast
majority of Americans have in-
surance and many who dont
will end up getting it. Also, a 10
percent tax has been imposed
on tanning bed use as part of
the health care law. There are
no other across-the-board tax
increases in the law, although
some tax benefits such as flex-
ible savings accounts are scaled
back. Of course, higher taxes
on businesses can be passed on
to the consumer in the form of
higher prices.
Individuals making more
than $200,000 and couples
making over $250,000 will pay
0.9 percent more in Medicare
payroll tax and a 3.8 percent tax
on investments. As well, a tax
starts in 2018 on high-value in-
surance plans.

OBAMA: Because of the Af-


fordable Care Act, young adults
under the age of 26 are able to
stay on their parents health
care plans, a provision thats al-
ready helped 6 million young
Americans.
THE FACTS: Obama is over-
stating this benefit of his health
law, and his own administra-
tion knows better. The Depart-
ment of Health and Human Ser-
vices, in a June 19 news release,
said 3.1 million young adults
would be uninsured were it not
for the new law. Obamas num-
ber comes from a June 8 survey
by the Commonwealth Fund, a
health policy foundation. It
said 6.6 million young adults
joined or stayed on their par-
ents health plans who wouldnt
have been able to absent the
law. But that number includes
some who switched to their
parents plans from other cov-
erage, Commonwealth Fund of-
ficials told the Los Angeles
Times.

ROMNEY: Obamacare is a
job-killer.
THE FACTS: The CBO esti-
mated in 2010 that the law
would reduce the amount of la-
bor used in the economy by
roughly half a percent.
But thats mostly because the
law will give many people the
opportunity to retire, stay at
home with family or switch to
part-time work, since they will
be able to get health insurance
more easily outside of their
jobs. That voluntary retreat
from the workforce, made pos-
sible by the laws benefits, is
not the same as employers
slashing jobs because of the
laws costs, as Romney implies.
The laws penalties on em-
ployers who dont provide
health insurance might cause
some companies to hire fewer
low-wage workers or to hire
more part-timers instead of full-
time employees, the budget of-
fice said. But the main conse-
quence would still be from
more people choosing not to
work.
Apart from the budget office
and other disinterested parties
that study the law, each side in
the debate uses research spon-
sored by interest groups, often
slanted, to buttress its case.

WIMBLEDON, En-
gland All at once, there
was a frenzy of activity at a
wetandwindyAll England
Club early Monday after-
noon.
Top-seeded and 2004
Wimbledon champion
MariaSharapova, abighit-
ter in her own right, was
overpowered in a 6-4, 6-3
loss to No. 15 Sabine Lis-
icki. Four-timetitlewinner
Serena Williams was
lockedina three-set tussle
against a wild-card entry
from Kazakhstan who is
ranked 65th but is respon-
sible for the only perfect set in wom-
ens professional tennis. Defending
champion Petra Kvitova was trying
to come back after dropping her
opening set.
Oh, and over on Centre Court,
there was the not-so-insignificant
matter of 16-time Grand Slamcham-
pion Roger Federers medical time-
out to get treatment for his aching
back.
The start of Week 2 at Wimbledon
has been dubbed Manic Monday,
because its the only major tourna-
ment that schedules all 16 fourth-
roundsingles matches onone day.
Sure lived up to that moniker this
year, evenif rainpreventedfiveof the
eight mens matches fromfinishing.
The most newsworthy result was
the abrupt end of Sharapovas bid to
become the first woman since Wil-
liamsin2002towintheFrenchOpen
and Wimbledon in the same year.

career Grand Slamin Paris to return
to No. 1, Sharapova bow-

she had beaten the three
other times theymet. She
will be replaced atop the
rankings next week.
Nothing is easy. Cer-
tainlynot aWimbledonti-
tle, Sharapova said. So I
dont knowif its easier or
tougher now than it was
yearsago, butIdontthink
its ever easier.
Federer, seeking a sev-

court Grand Slam, beat
XavierMalisse7-6(1), 6-1,
4-6, 6-3 to reach a 33rd
consecutive major quar-
terfinal, adding to his re-
cord. After the seventh game, Feder-

de France, while Fabian Cancellara re-
tainedthe overall leaders yellowjersey
after the mostly flat ride across Belgi-
um.
The top overall standings didnt
change as defending champion Cadel
Evans of Australia and fellow title con-
tender Bradley Wiggins of Britain
trailed close behind in the pack after
the 129-mile ride fromVise to Tournai.
Cavendish collected his 21st Tour
stage victory and proved he remains
the rider to beat in Tour sprints. He al-
so won three stages in the Giro dItalia
and two in the Tour of Oman this year.
The 27-year-old fromthe Isle of Man

this year because his Sky teamis focus-

Its quitenice. I cameintothis sprint
day with really the least pressure Ive
ever had in a Tour stage, Cavendish
said. Normally in the past, Ive had a
full dedicated team. Normally I win by
some bike lengths. Today I had to
lunge at the line, so you see that it
wasnt too easy.

fuse and he rebuffed a reporter who

T O U R D E F R A N C E
Cavendish wins stage
amidst lack of support
By JAMEY KEATEN
Associated Press
The story goes like this.
The Ithaca team Mark Ross once
worked with had so little chance of
beating the conference powerhouse
that the opposing coach threatened to
retire if his team lost.
Then Ithaca started the game with a
strong defensive series, marched down
the field and kicked a field goal to take
a quick 3-0 lead.
And were all shouting, Here we go,
get ready to retire, Ross said. We felt
we had the right plan in place to win
the game.
Of course, they beat us by 70.
The point is, Ross comes in as Miser-
icordias first head coach carrying a
strong self-confidence and an uncanny
knack for instilling belief in those
around him.
And the Cougars will need plenty of
both as they open Misericordias inau-
gural season of college football in less
than two months.
The prognosis for instant success
isnt good.
Misericordias roster will be com-
prised mainly of kids who havent
played college football, and dotted with
a few transfers looking to make more of
an impact on the field.
But while most everyone expects
thats a recipe for Misericordia to get
mashed, Ross isnt willing to punt away
the schools first football season.
I never walked on the field once,
Ross said, and thought I couldnt win
that game.
He insisted the key is proper plan-
ning, and Ross strategy not only in-
volves being competitive early, but
attaining some quick success.
Its obvious why we believe we
found the right guy for this job, Miser-
icordia athletic director Dave Martin
said.
Still, the duty seems daunting.
Ross took on the task of building
Misericordias program after spending
10 seasons as a defensive coach and
coordinator and working with place
kickers at Ithaca. The native of Athens,
Pa., also spent four seasons as an East
Stroudsburg assistant.
After spending last season training
his new group of Misericordia players
to perform at various positions, Ross
will work hard to implement his sys-
tems and schemes during training
camp next month.
Then his players will go out and start
banging heads with much more season-
ed players in the always-tough MAC
when Misericordia opens at Gettysburg
on Sept. 1.
It isnt going to happen overnight,
cautioned former NFL running back
Ottis Anderson, who spoke at Miser-
icordias inaugural season kickoff party
Friday. He (Ross) is going to need
patience. Hes going to need under-
standing. And hes going to need a hug.
A lot of hugs.
Yet, Ross already coaxed more than
30 players to embrace the idea of being
pioneers in Misericordias program,
and more are expected to arrive with
the incoming class in August.
These guys had the opportunity to
go anywhere. They came here, An-
derson said. He (Ross) sold sand to
people who live on the beach. That is
good.
Ross isnt expecting his first season
with the Cougars to go like a day at the
beach. He doesnt expect to get sand
kicked in his face, either.
Now were a month away, Ross
said. I cant wait to get started.
Im just hoping Im ready.
He seems as prepared as anyone can
be to venture into the unknown, carry-
ing confidence hes sure will give the
Cougars direction.
They may lose by 70, as long as they
dont lose their way.

OMAHA, Neb. Eight was enough
for Michael Phelps in Beijing.
The worlds greatest swimmer drop-
ped one of his eight Olympic events on
Monday, leaving him with seven at the
London Games. That means the 14-
time gold medalist
wont equal the re-
cord eight golds he
won four years ago.
And Phelps is just
fine with that.
Four years ago, we
were trying to litera-
lly do everything, he
told The Associated
Press in an interview Monday. That
was what we wanted to do but at this
point, its lets go out, lets have some
fun, lets relax a little bit.
Phelps coach, Bob Bowman, an-
nounced Monday on the final day of
the U.S. trials that Phelps was scratch-
ing the 200-meter freestyle.
Its so much smarter for me to do
that, Phelps said. Were not trying to
recreate what happened in Beijing. It
just makes more sense.

ALLENTOWN A near sellout
crowd of 9,599 flocked to Coca-Cola
Park to see Philadelphia slugger Ryan
Howard suit up for Lehigh Valley on
Monday in a rehab appearance.
So it was fitting that the former MVP,
all-star, home run
champ and World Se-
ries winner played a big
part in the IronPigs
come-from-behind 5-4
win over Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre in 10 in-
nings.
Aloss for theYankees
seemed improbable af-
ter holding a four-run
lead entering the
eighth. They had en-
tered the game with
just three losses in 37
chances when leading
after seven innings.
And they hadnt lost a
game when leading af-
ter eight in 37 tries.
The Yankees, who fell 3.5 games be-
hind the first-place IronPigs in the IL
North, helda 4-0 leadwithone out inthe
eighth inning before Lehigh Valley start-
ed its comeback.
Ramon Ortiz, who started the game
for the Yankees, cruisedthroughthe first
seven innings showing excellent com-
mand. After allowing a leadoff single in
the third, he facedthe minimumnumber
of hitters through the seventh.
Then he ran into trouble in the eighth.
He hit Michael Martinez and walked
Tug Hullet, as Martinez became the first
IronPig to reach second. Kyle Hudson
followed with a two-run double to cut
the lead to 4-2 and end Ortizs night.
Thats when Howard came through
against his former franchise he played
for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Bar-
ons in 2004 and 2005.

PITTSBURGH Garrett
Jones and Neil Walker hit back-
to-back homers off the right-
field foul pole to ignite Pitts-
burghs offense and the Pirates
beat the Houston Astros 11-2
on Monday night.
James McDonald pitched
seven effective innings for
Pittsburgh, which won for the
fifth time in six games.
Limited to one hit over the
first three innings by Jordan
Lyles, the first five Pirates of
the fourth inning had hits,
highlighted by Jones two-run
homer and Walkers solo shot.
Each clanged off the right-
field foul pole, Jones on a line
drive and Walkers a high fly.
Jones finished the game with
four hits and four RBIs, and
Andrew McCutchen also went
4 for 5 for the Pirates, whose
16-5 home record since May 12
is the best in the majors.
Cubs 4, Braves 1
ATLANTA Jeff Samard-
zija had a career-high 11 strike-
outs, Luis Valbuena hit a three-
run double in the seventh and
the Chicago Cubs beat the
Atlanta Braves 4-1 on Monday
night.
Anthony Rizzo connected for
Chicago, which has won four
straight and six of seven. Riz-
zo, one of the Cubs top pro-
spects, has two homers in six
games since he was recalled on
Tuesday.
Samardzija (6-7) yielded one
run and four hits in seven in-
nings, rebounding from a
rough June. The right-hander
was 0-4 with a 12.27 ERA in his
previous four starts, allowing a
season-high nine runs during a
17-1 loss to the Mets on
Wednesday.
Jeff Russell pitched the ninth
for his second save.
Brewers 6, Marlins 5
MILWAUKEE Pinch-
hitter Norichika Aoki drove in
the go-ahead run with a safety
squeeze in the eighth inning
and the Milwaukee Brewers
beat the Miami Marlins.
Rickie Weeks sparked the
winning rally with a leadoff
double. He moved up on Mar-
tin Maldonados single to right
and scored when Aoki greeted
Randy Choate with a bunt
single that gave Milwaukee a
6-5 lead.
John Axford then pitched a
perfect ninth inning for his
14th save. Justin Ruggiano had
a career-high four RBIs for
Miami, including a two-run
homer in the third inning.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
B.J. Upton and Carlos Pena
homered and the Tampa Bay
Rays took advantage of Mark
Teixeiras first error of the
season to beat the New York
Yankees 4-3 on Monday night.
Pinch hitter Brooks Conrads
RBI double with two outs in
the seventh inning off David
Robertson (0-3) made it 3-all.
Teixeira followed by misplay-
ing Elliot Johnsons sharp
grounder over first base for his
first error in 671 chances this
year, enabling Conrad to score
the go-ahead run.
Matt Moore (5-5) allowed
three runs while scattering
nine hits over seven innings to
win his fourth straight deci-
sion. The Rays stopped a two-
game losing streak that had
dropped them a season-high 7
1-2 games behind the first-place
Yankees in the AL East.
Angels 3, Indians 0
CLEVELAND Jered
Weaver carried a shutout into
the eighth inning, squirming
out of a bases-loaded jam in the
seventh, to lead the Los An-
geles Angels to a win over the
Cleveland Indians.
Weaver (9-1) allowed five
singles, struck out two and
remained unbeaten in Cleve-
land. Hes 5-0 with 1.52 ERA in
eight career starts at Progres-
sive Field. Scott Downs worked
out of a mess in the eighth and
pitched the ninth for his sev-
enth save.
The Indians loaded the bases
in the seventh off Weaver, who
got a force at the plate, foul
pop and strikeout to end Cleve-
lands best threat.
Howard Kendrick homered
in the seventh off Clevelands
Ubaldo Jimenez (7-7) as the
Angels improved to 16-3 on the
road since May 22.
Royals 11, Blue Jays 3
TORONTO Mike Mousta-
kas hit his first career grand
slam, Everett Teaford pitched
seven innings for his first win
of the season and the Kansas
City Royals beat the Toronto

snapped a three-game losing
streak, matched their season
high with 14 hits and beat
Toronto for the first time in
five meetings this season.
Twins 6, Tigers 4
DETROIT Trevor Plouffe
hit a two-run single during
Minnesotas four-run fourth
inning, helping the Twins beat
the Detroit Tigers.
Minnesota had six singles in
all during its big inning as it
earned its fourth consecutive
win to lift Ron Gardenhire to
900 career victories.
Anthony Swarzak (2-4)
picked up the win, allowing a
hit and one walk in 2 2-3 in-
nings of relief. Alex Burnett
allowed only one walk in 11-3
innings and Glen Perkins

save in five chances in place of
injured closer Matt Capps.

CHICAGOAsthebaseball
season began, Chicago buzzed
about plans to upgrade wilting
Wrigley Field. Then word
spread that the patriarch of the
family that owns the Cubs con-
sidered bankrolling a $10 mil-
lion racially tinged campaign
against President Barack Oba-
ma, at the same time the team
sought his hometowns help
with its $300 million renova-
tion.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the
presidents friend and former
chief of staff, has since refused
to negotiate financing or even
take phone calls fromthe Cubs
chairman. Abest-sellingauthor
tooktotheInternet tovownev-
er to step foot inWrigley again.
Now fans are left wondering
if the complicated financial
deals and presidential politics
mean the teams owners will
have to put more money into
thestadium, andlessintobuild-
ing a winning ballclub.
Hesgot$10milliontospend
on that nonsense. He should
spend$10milliononpitching,
longtime fan Pam Paxton said
of Joe Ricketts, head of the
Cubs-owning Ricketts family,
as she waited for Wrigleys
bleachers so she could watch
the last-place team.
Ricketts, a conservative ben-
efactorandfounderof TDAme-
ritrade, swiftly squelched the
proposal for anadcampaignre-
visiting racially provocative
sermons delivered by Obamas
former pastor. Ricketts chil-
dren joined him in repudiating
its message.
But nowthefamilythat three
years agobought theteamwith
the famously loyal fans is learn-
ing something about Chicago-
style hardball.
The Ricketts have tried to
contact the Mayor but hes said
that he does not want to talk
with them today, tomorrow or
anytime soon, read a state-
ment sent to The Associated
Press from the Emanuels of-
fice, which described the may-
or as livid.
Unable to talk to Emanuel,
Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts
who three years ago won
overfanswiththestoryof meet-
inghis wife inWrigleys bleach-
ers has been calling black
city aldermens offices and ap-
pearing on a black-oriented ra-
dio programs.
Hes pleaded for understand-
ingandarguedtheteamshould
not be blamed for the contro-
versy, saying the attack cam-
paign is not something that
was ever considered by anyone
in the Ricketts family, includ-
ing his father.
One of the aldermen, Ho-
wardBrookins, saidit wouldbe
folly not to expect blowback
from Obamas Democratic
hometown.
Especially with someone
with the reputation of Rahm
Emanuel, whopunishes people
who are his political enemies, I
dont know how you think you
can get away with that, Broo-
kins said.
The political drama has
meantlimboforabaseball team
suffering through one of its
worst seasons inits bleakhisto-
ry. Any hope the team had of
startingconstructionassoonas
the season ends likely has van-
ished.
The Cubs had asked the City
Council for permission to put
$150millionincityamusement
taxesintotherenovation, while
asking state lawmakers to also
issue $150 million in bonds.
The teamalso asked the city to
relax Wrigleys landmark sta-
tus, which could bring in $150
million more fromadvertising,
sponsorship and perhaps a
Jumbotron.
It was a long shot that the
Legislature would approve
public funds with the state em-
broiled in one of the nations
worst budget crises. But with
Emanuels support it was at
least possible.

to retire following a rocky
stretch with Baltimores top
farm club.
Willis was the NL Rookie of
the Year in 2003 with the Mar-
lins andquicklybecame one of
baseballs most popular play-
ers. But the bigleft-hander has
struggled since he won 22
games seven years ago.
Willis agreed to a minor
league deal with the Orioles
this spring. He made just four
appearances for Triple-A Nor-

Lin off select team
NEW YORK Jeremy Lin will not
play with the select team that will
scrimmage against the U.S. Olympic
team because of his free agency.
Lin is a restricted free agent, so the
New York Knicks can match any offer
he receives. Players cant sign new
contracts until July 11, the last day the
select team will train against the Amer-
icans in Las Vegas.
USA Basketball also says Monday
that Boston center Greg Stiemsma
wont take part because of plantar
fasciitis in his foot.
Philadelphia guard Jrue Holiday was
added earlier Monday to the squad.
Giggs in, Beckham out
WEMBLEY, England Manchester
United midfielder Ryan Giggs has been
included in Britains 18-man squad for
the mens football tournament at the
London Olympics, with head coach
Stuart Pearce confirming the absence
of David Beckham.
The 38-year-old Giggs joined fellow
Welshman Craig Bellamy and England
defender Micah Richards as the three
overage players allowed in the squad,
which will represent Britain at an
Olympic Games for the first time since
1960.
There are 13 Englishmen and five
Welshmen in the group, with no play-
ers picked from either Scotland or
Northern Ireland. Premier League
players Daniel Sturridge, Aaron Ram-
sey and Tom Cleverley made the cut.
Beckham, one of footballs iconic
figures, announced on Thursday that
he had failed to make the squad but the
decision wasnt confirmed by the Brit-
ish Olympic Association until Monday.
Olympic medals placed
at Tower for safekeeping
LONDON Theres safe, and then
theres Tower of London safe.
To avoid risking an ounce of precious
Olympic metal, Londons organizers
are handing over their cache of gold,
silver and bronze medals to the Tower
of London for safekeeping Monday. A
fanfare of Royal Marine trumpets will
sound as the 4,700 medals arrive. The
Towers famous Yeoman warders
commonly called Beefeaters also
will attend.
The Tower protects Britains most
valuable treasures, including the
Crown Jewels. And though the Olym-
pic medals are precious, using a Lon-
don landmark in this fashion is almost
like starting the 100 meters by sound-
ing Big Bens bongs. But theres a larger
wish at hand: Britain has been eager to
promote its tourist attractions as part
of the games taking place from July
27-Aug. 12.

These days, even morning shoota-

U.S. womens water polo team with the
Olympics only weeks away.
The Americans warmed up for the
first of four exhibition games with
Hungary on Monday night, a preview
of the countries Olympic opener in
London on July 30.
Seidemann is one of five athletes on
the roster with Stanford connections
for the Americans, who hope to cap-
ture their first gold medal after two
heartbreaking silvers and a bronze.
This provided a perfect opportunity
to prep in their home pool, stars and
stripes on their swim caps and suits on
a picture-perfect day at Avery Aquatic
Center.

Olympic Games, Monday.
EUGENE, Ore. The runoff to
settle a third-place tie in the womens
100 meters at the U.S. track trials is
off for now.
Sprinter Jeneba Tarmoh did not
compete Monday against training
partner Allyson Felix, Tarmohs agent,
Kimberly Holland, said in a text to
The Associated Press. Theres still the
possibility the race will be held at a
later date.
The runoff was scheduled to be
held Monday night at Hayward Field.
The last spot in the event for the
London Games is on the line.
USATF spokeswoman Jill Geer said
Monday morning that Tarmoh had
not officially informed the organiza-
tion of a withdrawal. The tiebreak pro-
cedures USATF spelled out in the af-
termath of the deadlock dont exactly
address this situation: an athlete com-
mits to racing and then decides not to
compete.
Its another loophole in a process
the USATF was attempting to shore
up.
Felix already has qualified in the
200 after winning that race Saturday.
Tarmoh is eligible to run in the Olym-
pic 400 relay.
Tarmoh reluctantly agreed to the
runoff in the first place. She felt she
won fair and square on the track nine
days ago.
In my heart of hearts, I just feel
like I earned the third spot, she said
Sunday. I almost feel like I was kind
of robbed.
Tarmoh leaned across the finish line
and looked up to see her name on the
scoreboard in the third spot behind
winner Carmelita Jeter and runner-up
Tianna Madison. The 22-year-old Tar-
moh even took a celebratory lap
around the track, waving an American
flag. She received a medal and con-
ducted a news conference.
Then, she found out about the dead
heat. From reporters, no less.
The situation has been a debacle
since Felix and Tarmoh crossed the
line in an identical time of 11.068 sec-
onds. USATF had no protocol to re-
solve such a deadlock and quickly
scrambled to adopt a tiebreaking pro-
cedure.
The options were a runoff, coin flip
or one athlete conceding the spot to
the other.
The athletes and their agents met
with USATF representatives at a hotel
Sunday to work out a deal, and Felix
and Tarmoh chose to settle matters on
the track.
Tarmoh, however, was clearly un-
happy with the choice.
This decision was really hard for
me to make, said Tarmoh, who didnt
qualify in her other individual event,
the 200. I was pushed into a corner.
They said if you dont make a deci-
sion, you give your spot up. I work too
hard to just give my spot up. I had to
say it was a runoff.
USATF has drawn criticism for not
having policies in place long before
the trials. Most other sports have a
plan. In swimming, for instance, there
are swim-offs to break ties.
Not so fast: Tiebreaker race canceled
Jeneba Tarmoh elected not to run
against Allyson Felix for a spot in
the 100-meter dash in London.

KINGSTON, Jamaica In the
100, it was the start. In the 200, it
was the curve.
Safe to say Usain Bolt has plenty
to work on and not much time to do
it and thats before he even starts
thinking about the man who kept
beating him at the Jamaican Olym-
pic trials, Yohan Blake.
When Bolt awoke Monday morn-
ing, there were 33 days until the
start of the 100-meter sprints at the
LondonOlympics, where the British
sports books list him at 4-6 to win,
still a favorite toearnlivinglegend
status he seeks at the upcoming
games but a much less prohibitive
one than he was before trials began.
I never trainfor one person, Bolt
said. Everyone is talking about Yo-
han Blake and he is proving himself
as one of the greatest. But for me, its
going back to training, getting back
to work to and getting done what
Ive got to get done.
If Bolt does get things back on
track, will that be enough? Great
question.
In the 200, the smart money
would say yes, at least if Sundays
performances are any gauge. Blake
won in 19.80 seconds into a slight
headwind not all that impressive
a time for a man who has run 19.26.
Bolt, of course, holds the world re-
cord at 19.19. He ran 19.83.
They ran 19.8. Thats the world-
record holder who ran 19.1 and the
second fastest man in history who
ran 19.2, said Wallace Spearmon,
who won U.S. trials Sunday in19.82.
Honestly, I figured theyd run about
19.5 or 19.6 today. (That) caught me
off guarda little. Not a badthing, but
I didnt know.
In the100, however, things appear
less certain, even if Bolt does bring
his game up a notch.
Before Friday, Blake had never
run faster than 9.82. On Friday, he
finished in 9.75 the eighth-fastest
time ever. He wonby.11seconds and
there was a significant amount of
daylight between Blake and Bolt at
the finish line.
The Worlds Fastest Man is no
stranger to bad starts he was in
the back of the field coming out of
the blocks when he set the world re-
cord at the Olympics but he has
almost always been able to make up
the ground. The rare exceptions: a
loss to Tyson Gay during a 2010 sea-
son in which Bolt was at less than
100 percent, and this latest setback
against Blake.
Well discover what the problem
is, coach Glen Mills said. At 6-5,
hes not going to be the fastest start-
er intheworld. Hedoesnt havetobe
first out of the blocks to win.
Yet inaninterviewhewas doingin
a different corner of the stadium,
Bolt was talking about how hed ac-
tually been working more lately on
the100, whichis whyhis curveinthe
200 was so lackluster.
But I cant blame it on that, he
said.
The reason he became the great-
est to ever run the longer race is be-
cause of the line he has learned to
take on that curve. He negotiates it
so well that Blake is known to stop
what hes doing when theyre prac-
ticing together just to take a look.
On Sunday, Bolt wobbled around
the bend, and when he hit the
straightaway, he had ground to
make up. He chipped away over the
last 50 meters, but when he looked
to his left near the finish, he gri-
maced. Blake beat him to the line.
Again.
Im not surprised, because I was
working real hard, Blake said of his
back-to-back wins. And I know
Usain will work hard as ever. Its up
tome tokeepworkinghardandkeep
my form going into the Olympics.
From what little the world knows
about Blake, who is just emerging as
a star, theres not much doubt that
hell keep his head low.
Bolt is a better-known quantity.
Since he burst onto the scene with
his three world records and three
gold medals in Beijing 100, 200,
400 relay one of the story lines
surrounding Bolt is that he can do
the hard work when necessary, but
doesnt really embrace it.
Two losses in three nights have
shocked him out of that mode.
While trying not to act panicky
about the setbacks, he conceded
that he nowhas something altogeth-
er new to prove: that hes as good a
chaser as he was a front-runner.
Imthe Olympic champion, Bolt
said. I have to show the world Im
thebest. I cancomeback. Its not like
I was blown away or anything. So
now, I knowwhat I need to do to get
it right.
Usain Bolt hopes to regain his mystique
AP PHOTOS
Labeled perhaps the greatest sprinter of all-time, sprinter Usain Bolt has recently been finishing second in
his own country. The Jamaican still has time to round into form for the Olympics in London next month.
A legend suddenly lacking
Yohan Blake raised eyebrows
across the world by beating Usain
Bolt in both the 100 and 200 in
Jamaicas Olympic trials.

OMAHA, Neb. Dara Torres lingered
inthe water after the other swimmers had
climbedout of the pool.
Her longcareer was finallyover.
She wanted to soak up the moment as
longas possible.
The45-year-oldTorres cameupshort in
her bid to make it to the Olympics for a
sixth time. She finished fourth in the final
of the 50-meter freestyle Monday night,
her onlyevent at theU.S. swimmingtrials.
This is reallyover, Torres said. Thats
it, Im going to enjoy some time with my
daughter,haveanicesummerandcheeron
the U.S.
After winning three
silvermedalsat theBeij-
ing Olympics, Torres
underwent radical knee
surgery and put all her
hopes into one dash
across the pool. But Jes-
sica Hardy wonin24.50
seconds, while Kara
LynnJoycetooktheother Olympicspot in
24.73.
Obviously I was hoping to make the
team, Torres said. That was mygoal and
missingit bylessthanatenthof asecondis
tough, but I dont think theres anything I
couldhave changed.
Torres was denied a trip to London by
nine-hundredthsofasecond,alsotouching
behind third-place Christine Magnuson
(24.78). Torres smiled when she saw her
time (24.82) and hugged both Hardy and
Joyce. WhenTorres finally got out, she be-
ganmotioningfor her daughter, 6-year-old
Tessa, tojoinher.
Torres walked to the stands, still drip-
ping wet, and scooped up Tessa, who was
wearinga shirt that saidGoMom.
Shes bummed shes not going to Lon-
don now, Torres said. I told her Id still
take her.
In the last event of the eight-day trials,
Andrew Gemmell won the grueling 1,500
freestylein14minutes, 52.19seconds. Con-
nor Jaeger was right with himall the way,
taking the second spot for London in
14:52.51.
Torressaidshehadthesamenervousan-
ticipation before her last race as she did at
her first U.S. trials in 1984, when she
earned a spot in the Los Angeles Games.
She had no illusions about being a serious
medal contender inLondon, but shewant-
ed to end her career with one more trip to
the Olympics.
Being 45, getting fourth in Olympic
trials against girls almost half my age, its
OK,Torressaid. Imusedtowinning, but
that wasnt the goal here. The goal was to
trytomakeit. I didntquitedoit, butImre-
ally happy with how I did. I was able to
hanginthere.
Hardy said it was an honor to compete
against Torres, who retiredbut came back
to win five medals at the 2000 Sydney
Games, thenthree more inBeijing.
Torres remembered her late coach, Mi-
chael Lohberg, whodiedin2011fromarare
blooddisorder that was diagnosedjust be-
fore she swaminBeijing.
I was veryemotional before myswim,
Torres said. When I was putting my suit
onwithmytrainer, AnneTierney, westart-
edcryingbecause I startedthinkingabout
Michael. InJulyof 2010, hehadsaidtome,
Lets go for this. I really wanted to finish
the story that I started with him. I didnt
make it but I know he would have been
proud.

BETHESDA, Md. For all the
endless parallels between the so-
called new Tiger Woods and the
old one, this was one comparison
he didnt mind.
Winning at Congressional
made it seem like 2009 all over
again.
Woods returned from a signif-
icant leg injury back then amid
questions whether he could be
the same golfer he once was. He
answered by winning Bay Hill,
Memorial and the AT&TNation-
al in the first half of the season,
and he wound up winning six
times on the PGA Tour, seven
worldwide.
This time, he is coming off a
year in which he sat out three
months and two majors to allow
left leg injuries to fully heal. Half-
way through the season, he has
won those
same three
tournaments,
so perhaps he is
headed toward
another year
like 2009.
Well, I had a
good year that
year. I think I won six times that
year. That wouldbe nice if I could
get that same total, Woods said,
pausing to smile before adding,
withacoupleof majors inthere.
Therein lies the difference
and the challenge.
Its all about themajors, isnt it?
PGATour events shouldnot be
dismissed. Congressional was
tougher than it was for the U.S.
Open last year. An argument
could be made that no other golf
course onU.S. soil dida better job
identifying who played the best
that week. It was the 74th career
win for Woods, moving him past
Jack Nicklaus into second place,
leaving him only eight tour wins
short of Sam Sneads record.
Even so, thats one of the few
times Woods and Nicklaus are
mentioned together when the
topic is not major champion-
ships.
Majors are saidtobe the tough-
est to win, though that can be de-
bated. The conditions tend to be
so extreme they expose and elim-
inate those who dont have full
control of their game and their
emotions. Thats what Phil Mick-
elson suggested in 2001 at the
PGAChampionshipwhenhe was
frustrated by not having won a
major at that point in his career,
and Adam Scott raised the same
point last week at Congressional.
I still think majors are every
good players best opportunity to
win a tournament, Scott said.
Woods has not been a factor in
the first two majors, another par-
allel to 2009. He tied for 40th at
theMasters, andafter sharingthe
36-hole lead in the U.S. Open, he
stumbled on the weekend and
tied for 21st. While his perform-
ance lookedOKonpaper in2009,
he was never a factor in the first
twomajors sevenshots behind
going into the last round at Au-
gusta National, nine shots out of
the lead on the last day at Be-
thpage Black.
Thenext stopfor Woods is Roy-
al Lytham & St. Annes, but not
before he heads to The Green-
brier Classic this week in West
Virginia.
The odds makers have in-
stalled Woods as the favorite for
the British Open, just as they did
for the Masters and the U.S.
Open. And its still a good bet.
Luke Donald remains No. 1in the
world, withRoryMcIlroyandLee
Westwood not far behind. Even
with his win at Congressional,
Woods stayed at No. 4 in the
world. Thats only because of the
math, andthe fact the worldrank-
ing is based on two years instead
of what happened yesterday.
No matter.
The score that will get every-
ones attention at Lythamwill be-
long to Woods.
I thinkhes the only guy towin
three tournaments on tour this
year, is that correct? Bo Van Pelt
said after finishing just behind
Woods on Sunday. On three dif-
ferent golf courses. And he was
leading the U.S. Open after two
days. So Id say that hes playing
the best golf in the world right
now.
The better measure of Woods
standing is that he is leading the
PGA Tour money list for the first
time since September 2009,
when he won the $10 million Fe-
dEx Cup bonus and capped off a
season that topped $10 million in
earnings.
But he has gone four years
without a win in a major, dating
to the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey
Pines whenhe playedona left leg
that had two stress fractures and
shredded knee ligaments that
had to be rebuilt a day later.
Woods was practically gloating
Sunday evening about those who
dared to even suggest earlier this
year he might not win again. One
reporter mentioned he had won
three of his last seven starts and
asked which parts of his game
have come around.
Pretty much everything,
Woods said. I remember there
was a time whenpeople were say-
ing I could never win again. Here
we are.

Resurgent Woods still facing a major obstacle
By DOUG FERGUSON

NEWARK, N.J. Martin Bro-
deur is going to remain the face of
the New Jersey Devils.
The 40-year-old goaltender who
has led the team to three Stanley
Cups, signed a two-year, $9 million
contract Monday to stay with the
only NHL club hes ever known.
At the end of the day, this is
what I wanted all along, Brodeur
said in a conference call. Circum-
stances happen sometimes in life
that I cant control, andI cant say it
wont happen again, but I am hap-
py, and two years seems appropri-
ate for me maybe to leave the game
at that time. But I am not 100 per-
cent sure. Again, well how I feel
and how well I am able to play.
The key to the new deal was the
Devils eventual willingness to give
him the extra year, Brodeur said.
Adding the length of the contract
was more important than the mon-
eybecauseof thepotential of alock-
out this upcoming season. Two
years provides stability and the as-
surance that he will have some-
where to play.
Brodeur would not identify the
teams that contacted him, though
Chicago and Toronto expressed in-
terest. When asked if he gave the
Devils a discount, he noted there
were offers from other teams that
were much different than the one
he signed.
Hours after word of Brodeurs
deal leaked, the Devils also an-
nounced that backup goaltender
Johan Hedberg, 39, also signed a
two-year deal worth $1.4 million
per season. Both deals feature no-
trade clauses.
Well definitely bringstability to
the back end, said Brodeur, the
NHLs all-time winningest goalten-
der. Weve done that for the last
year and a half, two years. Its nice
to be able to count on somebody to
be able to play well and that helped
me to be fresh on the back end of
the season. Its a nice setup.
With the goaltending situation
settled, the Devils now turn their
focus left wing Zach Parise. The
Devils captain is the top free agent
on the market, and said Monday af-
ternoon that he wasnt ready to
make a decision just yet.
Parise has been linked to New
Jersey, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,
Minnesota, Detroit and Chicago as
landing spots.
Zach is a priority of the Devils,
Brodeur said. Youhave toput piec-
es together to form a team, and he
is a piece of it, like Hedberg is a
piece of it. Zach is a franchise play-
er at this stage of his career.

The Penguins organization
made two additions late Sunday
night, signing players with the
potential tobe skatingfor Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton this season.
Trevor Smithleaves the Tampa
Bay Lightning organization after
winning a Calder Cup with the
Norfolk Admirals last season. He
has five 20-goal seasons in the
AHL.
The 27-year-old forward was
sixth in the league in scoring last
season with 69 points, including
43 assists. He signed a two-way
deal for one season for $575,000
at the NHL level and $300,000 in
the AHL.
Also signed was veteran War-
ren Peters, who agreed to a one-
year deal for $600,000at the NHL
level. His AHL salary was not re-
leased.
Peters, 29, spent the past two
seasons splitting time between
the Minnesota Wild and their
AHLaffiliate, the HoustonAeros.
He had 22 goals and 21 assists in
82 games for Houston over two
seasons.
Ben Street will not return to
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. The
Penguins leading scorer last sea-
son with 27 goals and 57 points,
and second on the team at
plus-14, the center signed a two-
year deal with the Calgary
Flames.
Street was the ECHL rookie of
the year in 2010-11 with the
Wheeling Nailers. According to
the Flames, its a two-way deal
earning him $575,000 in Calgary
and $105,000 with the Abbots-
ford Heat of the AHL.
Also, former WBS Penguins
standout Toby Petersen, 33, re-
signed with the Dallas Stars for
two years on a two-way contract.
The former ninth round draft
pick by Pittsburgh played 39 of
his 397 career NHL games last
season with Dallas. Petersen has
33 goals and48 points inhis NHL
career.

The Times Leader staff
LOS ANGELES Lamar Odom
surveyed the bank of cameras with
a practicedeye, subtlyadjustinghis
impeccable suit and tie before step-
ping back into the spotlight.
This star of hoops and reality TV
is right at home in Hollywood, and
hes incredibly grateful to be back
with his original NBA team.
Odom formally joined the Los
Angeles Clippers on Monday fol-
lowing a four-teamtrade last week,
vowing to revitalize his career with
a once-downtroddenfranchise now
on the verge of title contention.
Its an opportunity to redeem
myself and an opportunity to come
home, and you cant pass at that,
said Odom, who will wear his old
No. 7. This city has been great to
me, and I love being here. ... This is
my home. I grew up in New York,
and Im a New Yorker to the heart,
but Im so grateful to be able to
wear these colors andrepresent the
town. Im lucky.
Hes also lucky to be out of Dal-
las, where he was miserable on and
off the court last season after the
Lakers abruptly traded the two-
time champion before the lockout-
shortened season. Odom foun-
dered in a 50-game stint with the
Mavericks, leading many to won-
der whether the emotional bigman
had lost his passion for basketball.
Odomsaid hes still got it and
being home can only help this fall
when he goes to work down the
hallway at Staples Center with
Blake Griffin and Chris Paul.
I feel like Im 19 again, said
Odom, who will turn 33 shortly af-
ter next seasonbegins. HopefullyI
can turn the clock back on the
court as well, do whatever I can to
help the teamwin games and erase
that last season I had. I wasnt my-
self. I feel like I can help just by be-
ing myself. You all knowwhat type
of person I amand what I can bring
to a ballclub. The same thing I did
when I was winning champion-
ships is what Im going to be doing
for the Clippers now.
Odomwas thrilled when the Ma-
vericks engineered a deal to send
him back to the Clippers, who
drafted him with the fourth overall
pick in 1999. The Clippers gave up
guard Mo Williams in the deal, but
they share Odoms confidence he
can regain his form.
There were obviously a lot of
questions, Clippers coach Vinny
Del Negro said. But at the end of
the conversation, I just felt he was
committed and wanted to be back
in a Clipper uniform. Thats what I
wanted to see. All of the other
things inthepast areinthepast. ... I
think youd be hard-pressed to find
a guy thats had as much consistent
success at his position.
Except last year: Odom, the
NBAs top sixth man for the Lakers
in 2010-11, averaged career lows of
6.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and about
20 minutes in50 games withDallas
before the club gave up on him in
March after owner Mark Cuban
had seen enough. Odom was also
often late for practices and meet-
ings, never giving the impression
he was invested in the Mavs.
He had demanded a trade from
the Lakers after they tried to move
himtoNewOrleans ina three-team
deal to land Paul from the NBA-
owned Hornets that was rejected
by the league. Odom alluded to a
difficult relationship with the Lak-
ers even before the deal, and said
he doesnt think he made a mistake
because he would have been trad-
ed in the middle of the season any-
way.
Goingintothat trade, I was pret-
ty beat up because of some things
off the court, Odom added.
Those guys (in Dallas) stuck by
me, and I wish them the best, but
Im so grateful to be here.
The Clippers top brass at
least whats left of it after general
manager Neil Olsheys abrupt de-
parture for Portland last month
says its character questions about
Odom have been answered. Odom
might have had a few similar ques-
tions about the Clippers, who are
working without a GM for now.
Personnel decisions are being
madebyacommitteeof teamPresi-
dent Andy Roeser, director of play-
er personnel Gary Sacks and Del
Negro. Olsheys departure still
might be a dismaying step back for
the franchise that made such pro-
gress on its reputation in the past
year, but the Clippers still have
Griffin, Paul, DeAndre Jordan, Ca-
ronButler anda solidcore of young
talent for next season.
This is the right place for himto
be at the right time, Roeser said.
He wants to win, and thats all he
cares about. His willingness to do
whatever it takes, regardless of
what it means for himindividually,
is something that will serve us
well.

Odom gets a chance at redemption in Los Angeles
Reports: Hawks agree to deal Johnson to Nets
Multiple media outlets are reporting the Hawks and Nets have agreed
to a trade that would send All-Star guard Joe Johnson from Atlanta to
Brooklyn.
ESPN was first to report the teams had agreed to the deal. All the
reports cited unidentified sources.
The Nets would send guards Anthony Morrow, Jordan Farmar and
DeShawn Stevenson and forwards Jordan Williams and Johan Petro to
the Hawks, along with a draft pick Brooklyn received from Houston. The
selection only belongs to the Nets if it is not a lottery pick.
Johnson has four years and $90 million left on his contract.
The Nets are also trying to re-sign free agent point guard Deron
Williams.

Federer now faces No. 26 Mik-
hail Youzhny, a 6-3, 5-7, 6-4, 6-7
(5), 7-5 winner over Denis Isto-
min. Federer is 13-0 against
Youzhny, who chose to look on
thebrightside, saying: Ihaveone
more chance.
The only other man assured a
spot inWednesdaysquarterfinals
is No. 1 Novak Djokovic. The de-
fending champion improved to
12-1 against Viktor Troicki, his
doubles partner for Serbia at the
upcoming London Olympics, by
winning 6-3, 6-1, 6-3 under the
Centre Court roof.
Weather is always an obstacle
here, Djokovic said.
Twomensmatchesneverstart-
ed, and three were suspended:
No. 4 Andy Murray leads No. 16
Marin Cilic by a set and a break;
No. 10 Mardy Fish took the first
set against No. 5Jo-WilfriedTson-
ga and theyre tied1-all in the sec-
ond; No. 31 Florian Mayer leads
No. 18 RichardGasquet 6-3, 2-1.
The womens quarterfinals are
set for today: No. 6 Williams vs.
No. 4 Kvitova, who came back to
beat No. 24 Francesca Schiavone
of Italy 4-6, 7-5, 6-1; Lisicki vs. No.
8 Angelique Kerber, who ended
the retiring Kim Clijsters last
Wimbledon6-1, 6-1; No. 2Victoria
Azarenka vs. Tamira Paszek; and
No. 3 Agnieszka Radwanska vs.
No. 17 Maria Kirilenko.
Azarenka, the Australian Open
champion, has lost only14 games
so far. The most interesting as-
pect of her 6-1, 6-0 win over 2008
French Open champion Ana Iva-
novic? The pigeon feathers that
slowly floated down to the grass
after a birdcollidedwiththe roof.
Sometimes it canbe annoying
whensomebody is chewingchips

Doesnt really matter; you just
have to stay focused on your
game. Whatever is going on
aroundisgoingonaround. Itsout
of your hands, Azarenka said.
But the feathers? It was fun.
Lisicki certainly hada grandol

best sprinter, and Wiggins
hopes for the yellow.
There are not two objec-
tives. Theres one objective,
Cavendish said gruffly.
He also sought to dispel
speculation that he might be
looking ahead to the London
Olympics at which he will be
one of the favorites to win gold
in the road race.
It (the Tour) is the most
beautiful race of the year for
me, he said. Here, its the
Tour de France ... I cant say the
Olympics are more impor-
tant.
Cancellara kept the leadfor a
third straight day after win-
ning the opening-day prologue
Saturday. Wiggins remains sec-
ond, 7seconds back, andEvans
is a further 10 seconds behind
in eighth place.
The riders only climbing
challenge of the day was a
winding, low-grade ascent up
the citadel of Namur, a medie-
val town that is the capital of
the French-speaking Wallonia
region of Belgiumand hosts an
annual beer festival in the
spring.
The flat layout helped riders
keep pace with each other in a
tight pack against the wind,
setting the stage for a sprint
finish.
Three breakaway riders, in-
cluding Anthony Roux of
France with an injured left
wrist which hung limply by his
handlebars, led for most of the
day. The pack swallowed up
Roux, the last to hold out, with
a little less than nine miles left.
On Tuesday, the three-week
racereturns hometoFrancefor
more mostly flat stages. First
up, a 122-mile trek from Or-
chies to the English Channel
fishing town of Boulogne-sur-
Mer.

Romanowski strong
for Greater Pittston
The Times Leader staff
swim all three relays. But, on
Bowmans recommendation, he
will focus on the 200 and 400
individual medley and the 100
and 200 butterfly.
This is an event program
that Im very confident that I
can do and do better than I did
here, he said, referring to his
results in Omaha.
Bowman said his main con-
cern was Phelps being fresh for
the 400 freestyle relay. While
the U.S. has traditionally dom-
inated that event, Australia is
favored in London. The relay
was one of Phelps closest calls
in Beijing, with teammate Ja-
son Lezak coming from behind
on the anchor leg to beat a
strong French squad.
The relay final is on the
same day as the preliminaries
and semifinals of the 200 frees-
tyle.
The 400 free relay is going
to be harder than it was last
time, Phelps said between
bites of French toast, scram-
bled eggs and bacon over a late
breakfast. It just allows me to
put my energy elsewhere in-
stead of trying to control it for
another three races.
Phelps has to swim prelimin-
aries, semifinals and finals in
the 200 IM, and the 100 and
200 butterfly. The grueling 400
IM, which opens the swim-
ming competition on July 28,
has prelims and finals.
Its a lot and it is going to
be stressful, he said. My body
is not going to feel the same as
it did after the Beijing 400 IM.
I was fresh and still ready to
go.
Now 27, Phelps hasnt adher-
ed to the rigid training sched-
ule he was on for years leading
up to Beijing. After the Great
Haul of China, he took time off
and showed little interest in re-
suming the grind that had pre-
pared him to win eight events.
No one should be expected
to do that twice, Bowman said
of the program Phelps swam in
Beijing. Once was more than
enough.
Eventually, Phelps recommit-
ted to coming to practice and
doing the work.
He and Bowman viewed the
eight-day trials as a barometer
for how Phelps body would
handle the busy schedule.
We were, I guess, pretty
happy with it, Phelps said. I
was able to swim some pretty
good times and not really feel
great, but over the next couple
of weeks thats something that
were going to improve on and
work on.
With Phelps dropping the
200 free, Ricky Berens moved
up to claim an individual spot
on the Olympic team for the
first time. He was already
scheduled to swim the 400 and
800 free relays.
Dream come true! Berens
tweeted.
Dropping the 200 free also
removes one of Phelps show-
downs with American rival
Ryan Lochte, the defending
world champion. They will
now face each other in just the
two individual medleys.
It gives me a day off for
recovery after the (400) IM,
Phelps said. Its something
thats needed. Swimming that
many times is brutal and
theres no need to put myself
through that.
Phelps had vowed to drop
the grueling 400 IM after Beij-
ing, but he put it back on his
program earlier this year. Bow-
man wanted him to swim that
event because its on the first
day of the Olympic program,
which made it more appealing
than the 200 free even though
Phelps won that event at the
trials and finished second be-
hind Lochte in the 400 IM.
Ryan did shut it down the
last 15 meters of the race and it
was fairly obvious, Phelps
said. I know its going to be
challenging, but Ive always
stepped up to challenges and I
love challenges. Looking for-
ward to that one and its going
to be the first one of the meet.
Phelps is giving up the
chance to defend his 200 free
Olympic title and regain the
world record that Germanys
Paul Biedermann set at the
2009 world championships
wearing one of the high-tech
bodysuits that are now banned.
Phelps will still have a chance
to three-peat in his other four
individual races. No swimmer
has ever won the same event in
three straight Olympics.
Phelps confirmed that he
will retire after his last swim in
London.
I wont be coming back, he
said. Put it on record.

Its so much smarter for me to do that. Were

USA Field Hockey announced
Monday that 102 athletes, in-
cluding four local standouts,
have been selected to attend Ju-
nior National Camp.
Nanticoke graduate and cur-
rent All-American at Old Do-
minion Kati Nearhouse is
among those selected for the
U21 camp.
The U19 camp will feature for-
mer Crestwood midfielders An-
na Dessoye and Jess Newak,
both of whom start their careers
in the Atlantic Coast Conference
this fall. Dessoye is heading to
Maryland, while Newak will
play at Wake Forest.
Brigid Wood of Plains, who re-
cently finished at Solomon/
Plains Junior High, will be part
of the U17 camp.
The camp will be held at the
University of Massachusetts
from July 9-12. Athletes will re-
ceive daily training and tactical
sessions, followed by test match-
es in the evening.
The camp serves as a selec-
tion camp for the U17, U19 and
U21 U.S. Junior National squads.
Following the Junior National
Camp, the athletes selected to
the U21 squad will take part in
another training camp as the
newly announced team will be
preparing for the Junior Pan
American Cup in Guadalajara,
Mexico, this September.

Howard, who was held in
check by Ortiz, came through
against Ryota Igarashi, walloping
an RBI double to pull the Iron-
Pigs within a run at 4-3. He was
lifted for a pinch-runner.
I had a double in Lakewood,
too, but Ivebeeninsomeof those
situations where its good getting
into those RBI situations, said
Howard, who hasnt played with
the Phillies since blowing out his
right Achilles last October. It
helps with my approach and get-
ting my mindset right.
His previous three at-bats
against Ortiz as the designated
hitter were quiet. He struck out
in the first on a breaking ball. In
the third he grounded out to sec-
ond base. In the sixth, he ground-
ed into a double-play.
In two rehab games for Lehigh
Valley, Howard is now 1-for-6 af-
ter going 5-for-8 in three games
for Class-A Lakewood.
Heis expectedtoplayfirst base
tonight for seven innings.
It felt good. Ortiz was out
there and he was moving it pretty
well, Howard said. I felt like I
saw the ball pretty well. I kind of
came forward a little bit with my
lower half and made the adjust-
ment that last AB.
Lehigh Valley continued to get
opportunities against the SWB
bullpen in the ninth and tenth.
In the ninth, the IronPigs tied
the game loading the bases and
getting a run on a bases loaded
walk with two outs. One of the
pitches that was calledaball from
Juan Cedeno appeared to be
close to take and SWB manager
Dave Miley was later ejected.
The Pigs won the game in the
10th when Tuffy Gosewich
scored on a wild pitch by Jason
Bulger (2-1) to complete the im-
probable comeback.
Its a pesky bunch of guys
wanting to get the job done, Le-
high Valley manager Ryne Sand-
berg said. Theres no quit in
there because theres no talk
about quitting.
Brandon Laird, who is having
an off-year for the Yankees com-
pared to his last few, gave the
Yankees a 1-0 lead in the fourth
when he tripled off the wall to
score Francisco Cervelli.
Two batters later, Colin Curtis
doubled to score Laird for a 2-0
advantage. Doug Bernier fol-
lowed with a run-scoring double
topushthe leadto3-0. CorbanJo-
seph also had a RBI double in the
inning for a 4-0 advantage.

Local home prices rise
Home sale prices in the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton area rose 3.3 percent
in May compared to May 2011, real
estate data firm CoreLogic said Mon-
day. Excluding distressed sales short
sales and bank-owned properties the
increase was 7.4 percent. That gain
followed a 5.7 percent year-over-year
gain in April.
Nationally, prices for all sales in-
creased 2 percent and 2.7 percent when
distressed sales are excluded. In Penn-
sylvania the price increases were 1.8
percent and 2.3 percent.
CoreLogic bases its estimates on
Multiple Listing Service data.
Manufacturing weakens
U.S. manufacturing shrank in June
for the first time in nearly three years,
adding to signs that economic growth
is weakening.
Production declined, and the number
of new orders plunged, according to a
monthly report released Monday by
the Institute for Supply Management.
The trade group of purchasing man-
agers said its index of manufacturing
activity fell to 49.7. Thats down from
53.5 in May and the lowest since July
2009.
EU unemployment record
Unemployment in the 17-country
euro currency bloc hit another record
in May as the crippling financial crisis
pushed the continent toward the brink
of recession, official figures showed
Monday.
Eurostat, the EUs statistics office,
said unemployment rose to 11.1 percent
in May from11 percent the previous
month. Mays rate was the highest

Apple buys iPad name
Apple has paid $60 million to settle a
dispute in China over ownership of the
iPad name.
That removes a potential obstacle to
sales of the popular tablet computer in
the key Chinese market.
Apple Inc. says it bought the global
rights to the iPad name from Proview
in 2009 but Chinese authorities say the
rights in China were never transferred.
A Chinese court ruled in December
that Proview still owned the name in
China.

THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, JULY 3, 2012

WEBSITES AND
large segments of
general web infras-
tructure increasingly
rely on the cloud
a poetic term that
essentially describes
a scenario where assets and pro-
grams are stored or distributed
across multiple machines, thereby
spreading the workload around and
decreasing the likelihood that failure
in any single machine could cause a
disruption. In short, its supposed to
make things faster and safer.
Huge companies like Amazon and
Google provide and depend upon
their own cloud-based infrastruc-
tures, and many billions of dollars
are invested into these networks to
make sure theyre as stable as pos-
sible.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature still
holds the trump card, and she dem-
onstrated that with a vengeance last
week.
A simple thunderstorm was
enough to knock down a large por-
tion of the Amazon network, and
several popular services Netflix,
Instagram and Pinterest among them
were brought to their knees for
several hours. In many cases, the
sites were totally dependant on Ama-
zon, so there was nothing they could
do except wait for tech support to
get things running again.
As if to underscore just how fragile
things can be, a leap second was
added to the calendar on Saturday to
keep atomic clocks in synch with the
Earths rotation. Servers all over the
Internet are synchronized to those
atomic clocks, using a service called
Network Time Protocol. When serv-
ers processed 23:59:59 twice, some of
them would not execute operations
until they were rebooted.
Sites like LinkedIn, FourSquare,
StumbleUpon, Reddit and Gawker
went down as a result.
The baffling thing is that everyone
saw this coming, and many were
actually prepared for it. Google, for
example, added a few milliseconds of
time to their clocks throughout the
day, so by the time the leap second
rolled around, it had already been
accounted for.
Forget the Y2K bug, which was a
one-time thing in this case, a sim-
ple second adjustment thats hap-
pened every few years wreaked havoc
even though everyone knew about it.
Id consider this a warning who
knows what other time bombs are
out there just waiting to go off.
Hackers are bad enough, but when
something as basic as a scheduled
time change makes servers screwy,
all bets are off.

AIRBUS OPENING ASSEMBLY PLANT IN U.S.
AP PHOTO
A
irbus President and CEO Fabrice Bregier, second from left, shakes hands Monday with Alabama Gov. Rob-
ert Bentley after an announcement that the European aircraft manufacturer will establish its first as-
sembly plant in the United States in Mobile, Ala. The French-based company said the Alabama plant is expect-
ed to cost $600 million to build and will employ 1,000 people when it reaches full production, likely to be four
planes a month by 2017.
PHILADELPHIA The oldest and
largest refinery on the East Coast will
stay open thanks to a deal between Suno-
co andthe global asset manager The Car-
lyle Group, with the groups announcing
Monday that they have agreed to terms
on a joint venture at the facility.
The new venture also will make a sub-
stantial investment in the complex to
help it import lower-cost oil from North
Dakotas Bakkenformation, shift torefin-
ing a higher proportion of ultra-low-sul-
fur diesel and use natural gas from the
booming Marcellus Shale formation that
lies belowmuch of Pennsylvania, Carlyle
officials said.
The Philadelphia refinery, which had
struggled to make money as the price of
imported crude oil rose, was scheduled
to close in August. In April, Sunoco an-
nounced that it had entered into exclu-
sive discussions with Carlyle about a
possible joint venture involving the
330,000-barrels-per-day facility, which
has about 850 workers.
On Monday, the groups announced
they had agreed to formPhiladelphia En-
ergy Solutions, a joint venture that will
enable the facility to continue operating.
In a statement, the companies said the
agreement will save all of the current re-
fining jobs and create up to 200 more as
the refinery is updated and expanded.
The deal is expected to close in the third
quarter. Financial terms werent dis-
closed.
Carlyle Managing Director Rodney
Cohen said the company planned $200
million worth of capital improvements.

LOS ANGELES Pharma-
ceutical drug maker GlaxoSmith-
Kline PLC will pay $3 billion and
plead guilty to federal charges to
resolve a slewof criminal andciv-
il issues stemming fromits use of
kickbacks, misbranding and oth-
er misconduct to market drugs
such as Paxil, Wellbutrin and Ad-
vair, the U.S. government an-
nounced.
The agreement is the largest
health care fraud settlement in
history, spanning nearly every
state, accordingtotheJusticeDe-
partment. Its alsothelargest pay-
ment ever by a drug company.
The settlement is "unprece-
dented in both size and scope,"
saidJames M. Cole, deputy attor-
ney general, in a statement.
Pennsylvania will receive more
than$13million, AttorneyGener-
al Linda Kelly said.
"On behalf of GSK, I want to
express our regret and reiterate
that we have learnt fromthe mis-
takes that were made," said Chief
Executive Sir Andrew Witty in a
statement.
The British company illegally
marketed depression drug Paxil
to children and teens, even spon-
soring dinners and spa programs
in the drugs name, prosecutors
said.
Glaxo also used shamadvisory
boards and speakers at lavish re-
sorts topromote depressiondrug
Wellbutrin as an option for
weight loss and a remedy for sex-
ual dysfunction and substance
addiction, according to the gov-
ernment. Customers were urged
to use higher-than-approved dos-
ages, the government said.
To deal with damages and civil
penalties, Glaxo will shell out $2
billion while paying a $1 billion
criminal fine.

We're tracking a
weak cold front
that will move
across the state
on Wednesday
and may pro-
duce some
showers and
thunderstorms
for our area. No
washouts, just
some passing
showers or thun-
derstorms possi-
ble. Tonight will
be partly cloudy,
warm and humid
with a low of 65.
Keep the umbrel-
la handy for
Wednesday
because of that
front moving
through. You
may have to
dodge some rain
drops at times.

signs of skin cancer are. Worse,
they do little to protect them-
selves like wearing sunscreen.
According to Dr. Joshua Zeichn-
er, assistant professor of derma-
tology at Mount Sinai Medical
Center, men older than 50 are
more than twice as likely as
women to develop and die from
melanoma, the deadliest form
of skin cancer. Here are some
questions the doctor answered
about skin cancer:
Q: What causes melanoma?
A: There can be genetic factors
involved, but these are very
rare. Sun and ultraviolet light
cause almost all melanomas.
Obviously, sun is the significant
factor. If sun is the major cause,
its equally obvious that sun-
screen should be in common
use. But men dont like to put on
sunscreen and they simply dont
use it the way they should.
Q: Why are men so anxious about
sunscreen?
A: Well, they think women have
more "sensitive" skin. Actually,
skin is equal between the sexes.
The lighter the skin, the more
susceptible. Pigment is protec-
tive. It is a natural sunscreen.
But even dark skin requires
some protective measures. Men
say they find the sunscreens
"smell" funny. But various for-
mulations are available so its
possible to find one to suit your
preference from spray gels to
powders.
Q: Why is melanoma fatal?
A: It can kill you if it spreads. Skin
cancer is actually the most
common form of cancer in
general. Just walking from the
bus or subway to your office can
put you out in the sun. Five
minutes adds up over a lifetime.
And thats just incidental light,
separate from the sun you can
absorb at the beach or on a
boat. There is no safe way to be
out in the sun. It penetrates
through clouds and through
glass. Thats why I suggest
people wear sunscreen every
day. Use a glob of it about a
golf ball in amount.

Q: What causes the
iris of the eye to
change color? For
most of my life, my
iris color in each eye
was dark brown.
When I was in my
50s, the color began
to lighten. Im now 62, and the iris
color is hazel a mix of brown and
green. Also, my fathers eyes slowly
changed from hazel to pale blue by the
time he was in his 70s.
M.Z., Philadelphia
A: The color of our eyes is based on
the number and color of pigment gran-
ules (melanin) in our iris. These gran-
ules range in color from nearly col-
orless to dark brown. The darker the
pigment, the darker the eye color is.
The fewer the number of granules, the
lighter the eye color is. Babies are
typically born with blue eyes due to a
minimal amount of melanin pigment in
the iris at birth. From10 to 15 percent
of the Caucasian population will see a
change in their eye color as they age. In
the case of you and your father, the eye
color changed either due to a gradual
decrease in the number of pigment
granules in the iris or a degradation of
the granules. Your father had a greater
loss of pigmented granules, and this
caused his eyes to appear blue later in
life. Theres a small chance that an eye
disease like pigmentary glaucoma,
Horners syndrome or Fuchs hetero-
chromic iridocyclitis could cause eye
color changes, but these tend to be
associated with a more rapid change in
eye color.
Q: I know everyone needs oxygen to
breathe. I have emphysema and asthma
and use home oxygen. When I use tank
oxygen, will I become dependent upon
it the more I use it? M.F., Tacoma,
Wash.
A: No, you will not get addicted to
oxygen. In fact, the use of supple-
mental oxygen allows you to be more
active and can help you improve your
physical conditioning and sense of
well-being. You have chronic lung dis-
ease that necessitates use of oxygen.
Studies have shown that folks like you
who meet the criteria for supplemental
oxygen an arterial blood oxygen
concentration below 88 percent (that
compares with a healthy persons arte-
rial blood oxygenation of 97-99 per-
cent), will live longer, feel better and
have a better quality of life. Poor ox-
ygenation results in inadequate ox-
ygenation to all vital organs and tis-
sues, including the brain, heart and
skeletal muscle. Folks with severe lung
disease who require supplemental
oxygenation and use it 24 hours a day
show a longer lifespan than those who
use it for 15 hours; and those folks in
turn, do better than those who use it
only at night.
The last point Id like to make is
about oxygen safety. Oxygen does not
explode, but it does support combus-
tion. This means that one must never
smoke while wearing oxygen, and
should never wear oxygen while close
to a gas stove or an open flame.

What causes

in eye color?

Headaches, including migraine and
tension-type headaches, are a huge
medical concern in the United States,
affecting more than 45 million Amer-
icans.
While some people are affected by
headaches only intermittently, many
have frequent debilitating symptoms
that lead to work absences and loss of
income.
The American Academy of Neurol-
ogy and the American Headache So-
ciety recently published new guide-
lines for the prevention of migraine
headaches, and the updated guide-
lines nowendorse the use of several al-
ternative therapies to help keep mi-
graine headaches at bay.
The botanical supplement that re-
ceived the most attention in the new
guidelines is Petadolex, which is the
herb butterbur. Studies have shown
that 75 mg of Petadolex taken twice
daily can reduce the frequency, dura-
tion and intensity of migraine head-
aches by close to 50 percent, which is
comparable to many of the prescrip-
tion medications used to prevent mi-
graines.
Butterbur seems to work by reduc-
ing spasms in arteries in the brain; it
also acts as an anti-inflammatory
agent. Butterbur is also effective in re-
ducing allergy symptoms, so if you
have both migraine headaches and al-
lergies, butterbur would be a good
choice for you.
It is generallywell tolerated, though
in sensitive people it may actually
cause headaches and allergic-type
symptoms, especiallyinthosewhoare
allergic to ragweed, marigolds and
similar plants. The main concern with
butterbur however is that if not pre-
paredproperly, it canbecontaminated
with pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which
are carcinogenic; they can also cause
liver and kidney damage.
If you try butterbur, be sure to pur-
chase a product that saysPA-Free,"
like Petadolex. Data suggest that Peta-
dolex is safe in kids ages 6-17; it is not
recommended in pregnancy or during
lactation, however.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kids
used to walk into a restaurant
and be happy with chicken nug-
gets, fries, and a flimsy dinosaur
toy.
After beefing up restaurant
sales for decades, a new report
shows sales of kids meals are on
the wane with children no longer
craving the pint-sized servings
with toys as they once did.
Better meal deals, economic
factors, fewer childrens birthday
parties at restaurants and a big
push toward more healthful op-
tions led to a 6 percent decline in
orders of kids meals witha toy in
2011, compared to 2010, accord-
ing to the report from NPD
Group.
But, according to industry ex-
perts, two other trends are driv-
ing the changes in childrens me-
nus: Children seemto have more
sophisticated palates today, and
theres a desire to seemmore ma-
ture at a younger age. Kids who
are accustomed to playing Xbox
and other game systems at
younger and younger ages dont
want kids meal toys.

McGowen, 34, of Grand Blanc, Mich., had been deaf in
her left ear for more than five years; the hearing loss came
after surgery to remove a tumor on her acoustic nerve.
It was earlyFebruaryanda doctor

What did you eat for breakfast?
McGowen was stunned. She

Yes, she was told.

It was crazy, McGowen said.
All of a sudden, you can hear
again.
McGowen can hear while wear-

By Ralph Burns;
Former acid reux sufferer
Heres My Story: I've Suffered
With Acid Reux for Almost 40 Years
Now. Unless you experience it; you
cant imagine how horrible it is. Every
time I ate spicy foods I would get what
I called "ROT GUT". Like something
was rotting in my stomach. But now
I can eat anything... No matter how
spicy. Even if I never could before.
Let me explain For the better
part of my life; I purposely avoided
a lot of foods. Especially ones with
even a tiny bit of seasoning. Because
if I didn't, Id experience a burning
sensation through my esophagus
like somebody poured hot lead or
battery acid down my throat. Add to
that, those disgusting "mini-throw
ups" and I was in "indigestion hell".
Doctors put me on all sorts of antacid
remedies. But nothing worked. Or if
they did, it would only be for a brief
period. And then boom! My nightmare
would return.
Sometimes, I felt like I was dying.
The pain was unbearable and nothing
could make it stop.
But then my wife, who occasionally
suffered with the same problem;
gave me one of her prescription acid
blockers. It was a miracle. I felt like I
could live again. Because before that,
I was just miserable. I wanted to kill
myself. But thankfully, it worked, and
worked well.
I felt great, until about one year
ago; when I read an FDA warning that
scared the heck out of me. It went
something like this
FDA WARNING! Using proton
pump inhibitors (PPIs) on a long
term basis, increases your risk of
hip, bone and spinal fractures.
That's aparticular concerntome, since
many acid blockers are PPI's. I've gone
through two back surgeries and bilateral
hip replacements. I had to ask myself,
could PPI's have been responsible for
my medical woes? After all...
I was between a rock and a hard
place. Stop using the PPIs and I'm a
dead man in the water. It would be
unbearable. I wouldn't be able to eat
anything. Id have to go on a water diet.
But that FDA warning was scary.
I knew I had to stop or else risk
developing spinal stenosis. My mother
had that. And I watched her die a
horrible death. Her spine just fractured.
It was the worst death. She didn't
deserve that. And neither do I.
I had to quit. So I stopped taking
PPI'sforadayorso. But myindigestion
was worse than ever. I would rather
take the chance of a spinal fracture
than to live like that again. I tried
everything. Even started using home
remedies like Apple cider vinegar. But
it just felt like I was pouring even more
acid down my throat.
Then one day at dinner, a friend of
mine said "why don't you try an aloe
drink?" I said "aloe drink"? Jeez. That
doesn't sound good at all! The next
day he brought me a case of something
called AloeCure. I was skeptical, but I
was desperate! So instead of being an
ingrate I decided to try it.
I was shocked! AloeCure. Tasted
pretty good too. It has a pleasant grape
avor that I actually enjoy drinking. I
decided to experiment. I stopped tak-
ing the PPI's altogether and replaced it
with a daily diet of AloeCure. Then
something remarkable happened
NOTHING! Not even the slightest hint
of indigestion.
And heres the best part. The next
day we had Italian food my worst
enemy. But for the rst time in 40
years I didn't get indigestion without
relying on prescription or OTC pills
and tablets. Finally, I just didnt need
them anymore!
I was so thrilled; I wrote the Al-
oeCure company to tell them how
amazing their product is. They
thanked me, and asked me to tell my
story... The story that changed my life.
I said Sure, but only if you send me a
hefty supply of AloeCure. I just can't
live without it."
But don't believe me. You have to
try this stuff for yourself. I recommend
AloeCure to anyone who suffers with
the same problem I did. It gives you
immediate relief. You'll be grateful you
did. I sure am. It's the best thing that's
happened to me in a long, long time.

prevent migraine headaches;
magnesiumis probablyoneof the
best. Many people in the U.S. are
felt to be magnesium-deficient,
either from poor diet or from the
daily consumption of stomach
acid medications and diuretics.
Coffee, alcohol, soda and salt
canalso lower magnesiumlevels.
The dose that seems to be the
most effective for headache pre-
vention is 600 mg of magnesium
takenat bedtime. If youare prone
to loose stools, look for magnesi-
umglycinate or magnesiumgluc-
onate, which are less likely to
cause diarrhea. If you have kid-
ney disease, do not take high-
dose magnesium supplements
without talking with your doctor.
Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinol)
may also reduce headaches, usu-
ally by about 30 percent; studies
have shown that 100 mg three
times daily is the effective dose;
kids need smaller doses. The
main side effect from Coenzyme
Q10 is on your wallet its ex-
pensive. Melatonin may also be
useful for both migraines and
cluster headaches; doses range
from 3 to 10 mg at bedtime.
Feverfew has been one of the
most popular herbs used to pre-
vent migraines, though it may
not work that well in capsule
form. In England however, peo-
ple traditionally chew two to
three fresh feverfew leaves per
day to prevent migraines, and in
one study more than 70 percent
of patients using feverfew in this
way had reduced headaches.
Another treatment that can
work wonders for migraine head-
aches is acupuncture. A review
article published in 2009 by the
well-respected Cochrane Collab-
oration suggested that acupunc-
ture was at least as effective, and
possibly even more effective, for
migraine prevention than stan-
dard drug treatments, and it has
fewer side effects to boot. Many
alternative therapies take two to
three months to take full effect,
so be patient if you elect to try
one of these.
And finally, dont forget about
lifestyle changes. Stress is a huge
trigger for migraine headaches,
and daily relaxation techniques
such as biofeedback and medita-
tion can be very helpful in reduc-
ing headache recurrence. Stick to
a schedule of regular healthy
meals and snacks, and dont
skimp on sleep. With a healthy
lifestyle and the addition of a few
herbs and supplements, you
should be able to significantly re-

Now raise your hand if this
sounds like a personal mantra
of yours: Vacation is a week-
long excuse to be decadent, la-
zy and indulgent. But if youve
got a vacation coming up and
dont want to undo all your
hard fitness work, check out
these tips from Pete McCall,
exercise physiologist with the
American Council on Exercise:
Pick the right location. If
youre still in the planning
phase, look for hotels or rent-
als near a beach or park where
you can easily fit in lots of ac-
tivities with your friends and
family.
Arm yourself. Find out if
you can bring bikes or rent
them where youre staying for
a fun, active way to explore.
Or, bring sports equipment
like a Frisbee, kickball, foot-
ball, or softball equipment to
play on the beach or in a park.
Do a little homework.
Scout out a yoga studio or gym
before you go, and check if you
can get a day or week pass.
Focus your efforts. Instead
of floating around the pool and
calling it good, set aside 20 to
30 minutes where youll exer-
cise with moderate intensity,
and then stretch afterward.
Expand your fitness hori-
zons. Try new activities, like
surfing, stand-up paddleboard-
ing, or mountain biking. But
one word of caution: Be honest
about your skill level noth-
ing kills a happy vacation vibe
like an injury.
Sip smartly. When your va-
cation destination is 10 to 15
degrees warmer than youre
used to, make it a point to hy-
drate often. If youre drinking
more alcohol than usual, drink
even more water to make up
for alcohols dehydrating ef-
fect.
Plan for your return. Con-
sider coming home a day early
to give yourself time to stock
your kitchen with healthy food
for the coming week and up-
load all your fabulous vacation
pictures to Facebook.

away soon. But kids meals are
growing up.
Big national chains, including
Texas Roadhouse, Red Lobster
andApplebees, along withsmall,
locally owned restaurants like
Story in Prairie Village, Kan., are
adapting to the changing appe-
tites of younger patrons. Kids can
order apples instead of fries, and
freshly made pasta and English
peas rather than fried chicken
tenders and hot dogs. And older
children tweens and teens
are getting their own transitional
menu items to match their new
maturity.
Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant in-
dustry researcher at NPDGroup,
said children and their parents
are respondingtothe promotions
and packaging for healthful
choices. They are eating fewer
fries, carbonated drinks and des-
serts, and more fruit, smoothies
and non-fried chicken.
Ayear ago, for example, Jackin
the Box stopped putting toys in
childrens meals and added op-
tions such as Chiquita Apple
Bites with caramel in its Kids
Combo Meals.
They are more appealing to a
parent than packaging a toy with
lower quality, said Brian Lus-
comb, spokesman for Jack in the
Box.
Of course, when you think of
childrens meals and toys, the
McDonalds Happy Meal is the
category king. Introduced in
1979, Happy Meals account for
about 10 percent of McDonalds
sales. But sales of Happy Meals
were flat to slightly down in the
first quarter of this year, said Neil
Getzlow, a spokesman for the
chain.
McDonalds said it was show-
ing its commitment to childrens
well-being by trimming the calo-
rie count of its Happy Meal. It
added apple slices and kid-size
fries in the Kansas City market
last November.
Families are eating differently
than they used to when they go
out, McDonalds said in a state-
ment. They may order a Happy
Meal because kids love the spe-
cialness of their own meal, or
they may share Chicken McNug-
gets, fries and then get their own
drinks.
Consider the Wollard family.
Until this month, mom and dad
would routinely order four Hap-
py Meals with the toys for their
children, ages 3, 5, 7 and 8. They
are Happy Meals target market.
But eldest child Christian re-
cently announced he was ready
for a new milestone - his first Big
Mac. Well, not an entire Big Mac,
since his mother cut it in two so
he could share it with his sister,
Kate, 7.
Im getting older and I dont
want to play with toys anymore,
said Christian, who spends time
on Nintendo and Xbox at home.
The Big Macs look so good, and
my 10-year-old cousin eats them.
I follow what he does because
hes so cool.
Purchases of childrens meals
with toys also are often driven by
movie promotions like Toy Sto-
ry and The Lion King.
But there hasnt been any big
hit movie or tie-intoboost excite-
ment, Riggs said.
Still, 4-year-old Elijah Gonza-
lez was pretty excited about his
Happy Meal toy during a recent
lunch at a Kansas City, Mo.,
McDonalds. Before touching his
food, he was ripping off the plas-
tic wrapper onhis figurineof Mel-
man the Giraffe from Madagas-
car 3.
But favoring the healthful
choices, big sister Lily Gonzalez,
10, was hungry for her heartier
Mighty Kids Meal, an in-be-
tween menuitem, introducedby
McDonalds in 2001. Mighty Kids
Meals include six Chicken
McNuggets or a McDouble burg-
er, small fries and apple slices,
along with fat-free chocolate
milk, low-fat white milk or juice.
Riggs said children want to
seem more mature at an ever-
younger age, ordering what their
older siblings or parents are or-
dering.

I had no feeling in my feet and did not feel comfortable walking up
steps and maintaining my balance. My feet would swell and hurt so
bad that even a blanket on them would be painful. It limited me
because I couldnt walk even in my bare feet. Now I can walk in my
bare feet and I love it.
I now can walk up and down steps easily and dont have the

The primary way that most
people hear is through air con-
duction.
Sound waves enter the ear
and wiggle the ear drum, said
Dr. Brad Stach, the division head
of the audiology department at
Henry Ford Hospital. That sets
the middle ear bones into motion
and they talk to our inner ear, the
cochlea. Through that, we hear
sounds.
The second way people can
hear is through bone conduction,
which happens when sound
waves travel through teeth and
bone into the inner ear.
In bone conduction, we kind
of bypass the outer ear, the floppy
part of the outer ear, Stach said.
We bypass the middle ear, and
we stimulate the inner ear direct-
ly by vibrating the skull and hear-
ing that vibration through the
fluids of the inner ear.
Stach said bone conduction is
why a dentists drill seems to
sound so loud and why it is hard
to hear while you chew hard
candy.
Your teeth are great conduc-
tors of vibration, Stach said.
Once you vibrate your skull,
your ear is set up to hear those vi-
brations.
The SoundBite system con-
sists of two small devices one
is placed in the mouth and the
other is worn on the deaf ear.
The device in the mouth looks
like a retainer and fits over teeth.
It contains a wireless receiver, a
small vibrator and a rechargeable
battery that lasts six to nine
hours.
The device worn on the deaf
ear looks like a tiny hearing aid
with a microphone that is placed
in the ear canal. This device
transmits information to the vi-
brator on the teeth, which chang-
es the audio sounds into imper-
ceptible vibrations.
The device translates acous-
tic information to vibratory infor-
mation and delivers it to the
teeth, Stach said. We have
known about bone conduction
hearing forever. Putting a hear-
ing instrument in the mouth is a
new idea. Its very clever.
It has been approved by the
Food and Drug Administration
for patients with single-sided
deafness. It is also approved for
use by people with conductive
hearingloss, whichcanbecaused
by chronic middle ear infections.
The quality of the sound is ex-
cellent, Stach said. The teeth
are very good conductors. It
sounds pretty darn good.
Amir Abolfathi, 47, of Petal-
uma, Calif., who founded the
company that makes the Sound-
Bite system, said that 1.5 million
Americans could benefit from
this technology.
The product is available nowin
35 centers across the United
States, Abolfathi said, including
at Henry Ford. Next year, he
said, we expect to be at 100 cen-
ters and then kind of ramp up
from there.
Abolfathi saidthe device is still
in the pilot launch stage. He said
several hundred people have
been fitted with the device across
the country.
The device is not worn during
sleep and can be removed so the
battery can be charged. No sur-
gery or dental work or modifica-
tions to the teeth are required.
Stach said the SoundBite sys-
tem is an example of several ad-
vances inhearing-aidtechnology.
If you havent seen a hearing
aid in two years, you havent seen
a hearing aid, Stach said. We
have everything from fully im-
plantable hearing aids to partial-
ly implantable hearing aids to ex-
tended-wear hearing aids to
open-fit hearing aids, which are
tiny, great amplifiers for some of
the young-old people who need a
little boost, but not too much.
McGowenis one of sixpatients
who have been fitted with the de-
vice at Henry Ford.
She said the device cost about
$6,000 and it was covered by her
insurance company, althoughnot
all insurance plans do.
Looking at me, you cant tell
Im deaf, McGowen said. If Im
in a meeting, or at church, at a
convention, I have to constantly
look around to see if somebody is
talking to me.
She used to position herself at
churchsonobodycouldsit onher
left side.
But those problems are gone
now that she is wearing the de-
vice.
And she said it has helped her
at work at Creative Foam in Fen-
ton, Mich. She works incustomer
service. Im on the phone con-
stantly, she said. I go to trade
shows, lunches with my custom-
ers. You kind of have to hear.
McGowen said the sound is
crystal clear.
It is the weirdest thing,
McGowen said. It has changed
my life.
HEARING
Continued from Page 1C

Sara McGowen had been deaf for more than five years before the SoundBite.
I dont understand the
technology. It blows my
mind that they can do
something like this.
Sara McGowen
It was 2006, and Amir Abol-
fathi was stuck in traffic. His
mind started wandering, think-
ing about hearing aids and
teeth.
I started wondering, What if
you put the electronics in a
comfortable, removable retainer
in the mouth, and transferred
the sound through bone con-
duction? he said.
Abolfathi, 47, had worked as
vice president of research and
development at Align Tech-
nology, a San Jose, Calif.-based
company that pioneered in-
visible orthodontics.
Abolfathi knew teeth, but he
didnt know hearing. So he
called Dr. Michael Benninger,
who was then the chairman of
the otolaryngology department
at Henry Ford Hospital in De-
troit; he has since moved to the
Cleveland Clinic.
The men arranged a meeting
in Detroit. Abolfathi met with
Benninger and Dr. Brad Stach,
the division head of audiology
at Henry Ford Hospital.
The three of us had a meet-
ing, Stach said. I said, Yeah,
you can hear through your teeth
very well. But I dont see how
you could ever put a hearing
device on your teeth.
Abolfathi goes, Oh, the teeth
part is easy. I dont know how
you do the hearing part.
Together, they figured it
might work.
We had an all-day brain-
storming session about bone
conduction through the teeth,
Abolfathi said. Thats how the
whole thing got started. I came
back to California and started
working on the idea and raising
money and getting the compa-
ny started.
Over the next three years,
Abolfathi raised $20 million and
started Sonitus Medical, a pri-
vate company based in Cali-
fornia and SoundBite was
born. The major technical chal-
lenge was putting miniaturized
electronics into a removable
dental appliance.
I knew you could transfer
sound through teeth, Abolfathi
said. I didnt have an apprecia-
tion for the quality of the
sound.
In 2010, Popular Science
awarded SoundBite an Innova-
tion Award.
Sonitus Medical has received
funding from an investment
arm of the U.S. intelligence
community, Abolfathi said,
although he was vague about
the details.
We are working on a two-
way communication system for
their customers, Abolfathi
said. Thats about all I can say.
The whole thing is in the
mouth. Its a platform that al-
lows somebody wearing this
device to have a two-way con-
versation with somebody with-
out having anything on their
ear.
Stach said the device could
be used by members of the
Special Forces.
Lets say you are in the Spe-
cial Forces and you need to hear
and you need to talk, he said.
And you need to do it without
having earphones on. They
have developed this by putting
it on your mouth, without any
ear phones, without any visible
communication.
There are other applications
as well.
Stach has asked Abolfathi to
consider the general public, too:
I keep telling him, Im a run-
ner and I cant stand wearing
ear phones.

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

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I want
you to know that you
saved my life. I was
a lonely, desperate
woman, dying a slow
and painful death.
I had an eating dis-
order and weighed
more than 400 pounds. I was taking
many different medications and suf-
fering from depression, high blood
pressure and other ailments. Most of
them were the result of my addictive
eating. I wore a size 52 dress and had
89-inch hips.
One day, I saw a letter you had
printed from a woman who seemed
to know what I was feeling. She had
gone to a 12-step program and was
happy, successful and free from her
addictive eating disorder.
Seeing her letter gave me a spark of
hope. I sought and found a program
called Overeaters Anonymous and
began attending meetings. I took a
sponsor and am in recovery from the
food addiction. I lost more than 300
pounds and have lived in a normal-
sized body for eight years.
Thanks to that letter in your col-
umn, and your continuing support
of the 12-step programs, I am living
a life that I never imagined possible.
No words can ever express the grati-
tude I feel for what you have done for
me and many others. At our meet-
ings, speakers often share that they
found recovery because of a letter to
Dear Abby. Please keep the word go-
ing that there is hope for us, no mat-
ter how far down we are.
Janet in Orlando, Fla.
Dear Janet: Its gratifying to know
you were helped because of some-
thing you read in my column. I hope
your success will inspire others who
suffer from compulsive overeating
and are unaware that help is available.
Overeaters Anonymous has more
than 6,500 groups in more than 80
countries. There are no requirements
for membership except a desire to
stop eating compulsively. There is
no shaming, no weighing and no
embarrassment only a fellowship
of compassionate people who share a
common problem.
Chapters are located in almost
every city, but anyone who has diffi-
culty locating one should go to www.
oa.org, or send a long, self-addressed
stamped envelope to Overeaters
Anonymous World Service Office,
P.O. Box 44020, Rio Rancho, NM
87174-4020. The email address is
info@oa.org.
Dear Abby: We have a friend who
lives in another city and takes a lot of
trips. She visits me a couple of times
a year. She brings along a large photo
album from her most recent vacation
and insists we sit down with her so
she can give us a running commen-
tary about each snapshot. Abby, her
travelogues last an hour or more.
Were pleased that our friend enjoys
her trips, but we no longer wish to be
subjected to her presentations. We
would never expect her or anyone
to view all the pictures we take on
our travels. How can we gently ex-
plain this to her?
Weary in the West
Dear Weary: The next time your
houseguest hauls out her photo al-
bum, try this: Tell her youd love to
hear about her trip, but youd like
her to show you only two or three of
her favorite pictures from her most
memorable destination.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Woman is finally free from addictive eating and able to embrace life
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-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 Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When
youre willing to explore and
experiment, life becomes a big
adventure. Try things at least
once before making a determina-
tion as to whether its really
for you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Things
are about to ramp up for you.
Accept the challenge. Youll
prove that you can do more than
you did before. Soon the produc-
tion level of yesterday will seem
like mere childs play.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Theres
no shame in your game. Youre
willing to lose the ego and put
yourself out there just to learn.
Because you have no resistance
to the new, youll quickly gain
useful skills.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Excuses are the enemy of
positive thinking. Abolish blame
(especially self-blame), and youll
see whats really going on that
needs to be handled.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your minds
eye is extra powerful today. Use
visualization to make something
interesting happen in your world.
Imagining it wont make it hap-
pen, but it puts the odds in your
favor.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
aim is straightforward. There are
only a few things that absolutely
must be accomplished today, and
relaxation is one of them. Youll
be focused, completing one task
before moving on to another.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Flexible
thinking helps you finish what
you set out to do since you prob-
ably wont be able to accomplish
it the way you had planned. Stay
open-minded.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Admit
that you are only human.
Sometimes you need a little
help, and dont be afraid to ask
for it. A break from the action
this afternoon helps you to clear
your head.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youre usually sensitive to what
others need. Turn those sensors
on yourself. Recognize when you
are starting to get stressed, and
quickly take action to relieve
that stress.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
The world hasnt changed too
much from the way it was yes-
terday, but your perception of
it has. This is a temporary state
of being. Feelings and thoughts
pass.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
have social choices today. Dont
pay heed to discouraging people
who seem to revel in planting
doubts. Stay in the company of
those whose thoughts and atti-
tudes are generally positive.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youre
powerful, but sometimes you
forget this. Identify the problems
or obstacles that make you feel
helpless, and brainstorm possible
(and impossible) solutions.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 3).
Home is where you live and love;
its also an investment. Youll
add value to that investment in
July. Loved ones will engage in
their best behavior to win your
affection in August. September
brings speedy developments
on the career front. Theres a
windfall in December. Aries and
Scorpio people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 50, 20, 12, 34
and 6.
