Mitchell added that Barlettas
voting record also will work
against him, noting his votes on
Medicare and other issues.
Thomas Baldino, political sci-
ence professor at Wilkes Univer-
sity, said there are advantages
and disadvantages for any candi-
date announcing this early.
Among the advantages, Baldi-
no said Vinsko will have more
time to establish name recogni-
tion with the voters, to raise
money, and to practice cam-
paigning.
For example, voters want
lower federal taxes yet maintain
Social Security and Medicare at
current levels. Vinsko will have
time to hone his message and
practice reacting to audiences
both friendly and not so friend-
ly, he said.
Timing factors
As far as disadvantages, Baldi-
no said Barletta and the Repub-
lican Congressional Campaign
Committee will have more time
to conduct opposition research,
to uncover unflattering things
about an opponent and to con-
struct responses to the criti-
cisms of Barlettas record that
will be leveled by Vinsko.Borick
said Barletta is vulnerable be-
cause he represents the minority
party (in his district) and has
been compiling a record that will
be open to attack. Its not sur-
prising youre seeing people anx-
ious to get in the race and chal-
lenge him.
David Sosar, political science
professor at Kings College, said
Vinskos announcement appears
to come a little early.
But remember the commer-
cials by MoveOn.org are running
against Barletta at the present,
and there is a lot of heated de-
bate in the news and among a lot
of citizens about Congress and
the debt-limit debates, taxes and
government spending cuts, So-
sar said.
Sosar said the early entry will
enable voters to take notice of
Vinskos candidacy and it gives
Vinsko time to start raising mon-
ey and get his name in front of
people.
Vinsko said the reaction to his
candidacy has been mostly posi-
tive. He said he heard Thursday
from many in Washington, D.C.,
local supporters and others.
Stange, of Barlettas campaign,
took it all with a grain of salt.
Weve heard all of this before
Congressman Barletta voted to
reduce billions of dollars in fed-
eral spending and before he vot-
ed to repeal Obamacare, Stange
said. Right now, Rep. Barletta is
working to resolve the debt ceil-
ing crisis, so hes focused on the
future of our country, not poli-
tics.

The colors of clothing that the

wear clothing indicative of the
type of cancer they or a loved one

Luzerne Countys commonlev-
el ratio was a severely out-of-
whack 7.3 in 2008, when the
county was operating onthe1965
tax base.
The countys ratio was 99.7 for
the year 2009.
Luzerne Countys new100.4ra-
tiomaymeanmoreproperties are
selling below assessments, Alu
said.
The opposite is true when ra-
tios start dipping below 100 per-
cent, a sign that sales prices are
exceeding assessments.
Another countywide reassess-
ment couldenduploweringsome
property assessments due to the
struggling real estate market.
However, Alu cautioned that
propertyowners wouldlikelyend
up paying the same or more in
property taxes even if their as-
sessments were lowered be-
cause taxing bodies would still
need to generate the same
amount of tax revenue after reas-
sessment.
Unless taxing bodies lowered
their budgets, the millage rates
wouldhave to rise to compensate
for the lower assessed values,
Alu said.
The county provides the state
board with a report on all sales
that occurred within the county
for the analysis, with the excep-
tion of $1 transactions between
family members and companies.
The board then completes its
own audit of the sales data before
calculating the ratio, Alu said.

Dallas approves preparations
for readdressing program
DALLAS Council members
Wednesday night passed an
amendment allowing them to
prepare for the readdressing
phase of the 911 standardized
addressing and agreed to ad-
vertise a proposed ordinance
prohibiting open burning.
The amendment to an ordi-
nance allows the borough to
place new street signs with new
names for the county 911 stan-
dardized addressing project.
The open burning ordinance
would prohibit open burning
within the borough and estab-
lish limitations, enforcement
and penalties.
Also, Elstons Landscaping &
Excavating LLC, Dallas, was
hired to install a catch basin
and about 205 feet of piping
along Lehman Avenue toward
an existing basin on the corner
of Spring Street and Lehman
Avenue at a cost of $2,882.
In other business, council
accepted the resignation of the
recreation director, Michael
English, for the boroughs Sum-
mer Recreation Program.
Eric Domzalski was promot-
ed to the part-time, seasonal
position of recreation director
for the program. Domzalski will
be paid $9 per hour, effective
from July 10.
Council members announced
the Summer Recreation Pro-
gram will be closed today due
to high temperatures.
Borough Manager Tracey
Carr noted only five children
came to participate in the pro-
gram on Wednesday.

Hazleton draws complaints
about rental regulations
HAZLETON The rental
registration and licensure ordi-
nance was again the topic of
discussion at Wednesday
nights city council meeting.
The issues brought out many
of the citys landlords who
believe that passage of the
ordinance, which includes an
inspection fee, would punish
landlords who are in compli-
ance with city regulations and
allow absentee landlords to
avoid paying the fees and any
type of consequence for failing
to upkeep their properties.
Landlord Tom Bruno said
that he has been paying a $5
registration fee for his rental
properties for years and has
recently found out that other
landlords have failed to pay that
basic fee with no consequence.
I feel like someone paying to
ride a bus, said Bruno, and
after a year, finding out that
half of the other passengers are
riding for free. It just isnt fair.
Danny DeMelfi, also a land-
lord, said landlords who reside
out of the area often cannot be
found, thus avoiding paying
fees assessed them by the city.
He shared his fear that if the
ordinance was passed without
any type of amendment, it
would again put compliant area
landlords at a disadvantage.
Justine Crego, president of
the Hazleton Area Landlords
Organization, also said she felt
the language of the ordinance
should be tweaked to make it
more likely to target those
landlords who were out of com-
pliance with regulations regard-
ing the upkeep and safety of
their rental properties.
The attorney for HALO,
David Lanza, and city Solicitor
Chris Slusser agreed to review
legal concerns of the ordinance.
Council also indicated it
would like to have the opportu-
nity to again review the ordi-
nance to ensure it would be
enforceable and target all perti-
nent rental property issues.
Council President Jim Perry
suggested the issue be tabled,
and his motion was unanimous-
ly supported by council.
The ordinance will again be
discussed and voted on at the
councils next meeting.
In another matter, Police
Chief Bob Ferdinand said grant
money was available to reduce
underage drinking within the
city by increasing manpower
hours. Council member Karin
Cabell confirmed the grant
money would utilize police
officers already employed by
the city and would not require
any new hires. Council unani-
mously voted to apply for the
grant money.

WASHINGTON
Gay ban to be dropped
D
efense officials say Pentagon chief
Leon Panetta will certify that gays
may serve openly in the armed ser-
vices.
News of his decision comes two
weeks after top military leaders agreed
that repealing the 17-year-old ban will
not hurt military readiness.
The Pentagon has conducted months
of internal studies and training to
gauge how troops would react to the
change triggered by a law passed by
Congress and signed by President
Barack Obama in December.
The Pentagon announcement is
expected today, and Obama is expected
to endorse it.
LONDON
Phone pinging new probe
With Britain still coming to terms
with the illegal voicemail interception
at one of its biggest newspapers, Scot-
land Yard was asked Thursday to look
into an even more intrusive technique:
pinging.
A member of the board that oversees
Londons police force has asked it to
investigate claims that News of the
World reporters paid officers to obtain
peoples locations by tracking their cell
phone signals a practice known as
pinging because of how cell phones
signals bounce or ping off relay tow-
ers as they try to find reception.
Jenny Jones, a Green Party member
of the Metropolitan Police Authority,
cited claims that reporters at the now-
defunct tabloid were able to trace mo-
bile phones in return for payments to
corrupt police officers.
BOISE, IDAHO
States say no to No Child
At least three states are vowing to
ignore the latest requirements under
the No Child Left Behind law in an act
of defiance against the federal govern-
ment that demonstrates their growing
frustration over an education program
they say sets unrealistic benchmarks
for schools.
The law sets a goal of having 100
percent of students proficient in math
and reading by 2014, but states were
allowed to establish how much schools
must improve each year. Many states
saved the biggest leaps for the final
years, anticipating the law would be
changed.
But it hasnt, and states such as Ida-
ho, Montana and South Dakota are
preparing to reject the latest require-
ments for determining school progress
under the 9-year-old law even if the
move toward noncompliance may put
them at risk of losing some federal
funding.
More states could follow in seeking
relief from the federal requirements.
DUBLIN
Vatican confronted on abuse
The Irish are broadly lauding this
weeks thunderbolt from Prime Minis-
ter Enda Kenny, who denounced the
Vaticans role in the past 17 years of
child abuse cover-up scandals.
He accused the Holy See of down-
playing the rape and torture of chil-
dren and hiding behind its status as a
sovereign state with its own secrecy-
obsessed canon laws.
Even Irelands priests voiced support
for Kennys attack on the Vatican.
The rising church-state conflict in
Ireland reflects a generation of dynam-
ic change in this country of 4.5 million,
more than 85 percent of whom identify
themselves as Catholic on the census
but fewer than half of whom attend
weekly Mass today.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
The space shuttle era officially
ended early Thursday morning
as Atlantis touched down un-
der a cloudless and star-span-
gledsky at Kennedy Space Cen-
ter.
After two signature sonic
booms, the spacecraft seemed
to suddenly drop out of the
darkness on the three-mile run-
way, completing its long glide
home from orbit precisely on
the mark at 5:57 a.m. EDT.
The safe return of a shuttle
and its crew from a dangerous
journey is always a cause for
celebration but this one the
final landing after 135 missions
spanning30years was bitter-
sweet.
The next missionfor Atlantis
will be as a tourist attraction.
Americas astronaut corps will
be consigned to hitching rides
aboard Russian rockets, at least
for the next few years until pri-
vate companies prove they can
safely fly in space. And another
2,300 workers at the space cen-
ter will get pinkslips withinthe
week, only the latest in contin-
uing waves of layoffs expected
that will eventually add up to
some 8,000 lost jobs for Flor-
idas Space Coast.
The last mission was some-
what mundane, a13-day trip in-
tended primarily to restock the
International Space Station
with supplies and spare parts.
But history and the uncertain
future of Americas space pro-
gram gave the final flight poi-
gnancy and weight. At Mission
Control in Houston, the view-
ing roomwas filledwithformer
flight directors and their fam-
ilies.
It was, said NASA mission
commentator RobNavias as At-
lantis burned through the at-
mosphere on its final descent, a
"day of mixed emotions."
The shuttle programrang up
many successes, topped by the
constructionof theInternation-
al Space Station.

will now be consigned to

WASHINGTON House
Speaker John Boehner predicted
Thursday that a majority of
House Republicans will end up
supporting some kind of compro-
mise as the Senate began debat-
ing a House-passed effort to tie
an increase in the debt ceiling to
conservative demands for a bal-
anced budget amendment to the
Constitution.
Majority Leader Harry Reid,D-
Nev., called up the measure to
placate Repub-
licans demand-
ing a vote. But
he said it
doesnt have
one chance in a
million of pass-
ing the Senate.
At a news
conference,
Boehner told reporters, Frankly,
I think it would be irresponsible
on behalf of the Congress and the
president not to be looking at
back-up strategies for how to
solve this problem.
At the end of the day, we have
a responsibility to act, he said.
Asked whether GOP lawmak-
ers supporting the House cut,
cap and balance debt limit mea-
sure would be unwilling to ulti-
mately compromise, Boehner
said, Im sure weve got some
members who believe that, but I
do not believe that would be any-
where close to the majority.
Meanwhile, White House
spokesman Jay Carney reported
little progress fromprivate meet-
ings President Barack Obama
held Wednesday with Boehner
and House Majority Leader Eric
Cantor, and separately with con-
gressional Democratic leaders.

man, who married her long-
time partner, Mary, in 2004 in
Massachusetts, the first state
to legalize gay marriage.
New Yorks law takes effect
at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, with the
state where the gay rights
movement began more than
40 years ago joining five other
states and the District of Co-
BOSTON When the
glow fades for those couples
planning to wed Sunday
when gay marriage becomes
legal in New York, they will
see a new reality: They wont
be getting the same benefits
as heterosexual couples.
Among the 1,000 or so ben-
efits they cant get because of
the federal Defense of Mar-
riage Act are the ability to file
joint federal tax returns, get
federal health plans for spous-
es and access spouses federal
pensions.
Let them enjoy their joy,
but they will soon realize that
their marriage is not being
seen equally at the federal lev-
el, said Dorene Bowe-Shul-
lumbia in legalizing same-sex
marriage.
While many married gay
couples are hoping for the re-
peal of the 1996 law, known
as DOMA, the measures sup-
porters are pushing back, ar-
guing that marriage is a
union between a man and a
woman and that repeal would
violate the views of most
Americans.
As gay couples prepare for
their weddings in New York,
the largest state yet to legal-
ize same-sex marriage, their
counterparts in Massachu-
setts are telling them that
their push for equal rights
doesnt end with the ability to
get married.
For Al Koski and Jim Fitz-
gerald, the law has taken
away their retirement securi-
ty. Koski, 68, worked as a So-
cial Security claims represen-
tative for more than 20 years
before retiring in 2005. Koski
and Fitzgerald have been to-
gether for 36 years and were
legally married in Massachu-
setts in 2007.
Fitzgerald, 60, cannot ac-
cess Koskis federal pension.
Under DOMA, Fitzgerald can-
not get the lifetime health in-
surance coverage that hetero-
sexual spouses of federal em-
ployees receive automatically.

MOGADISHU, Somalia So-
mali soldiers beat back desperate
families with gun butts Thursday
as they fought for food supplies in
front of a weeping diplomat, a day
after the U.N. declared parts of the
country were suffering from the
worst famine in a generation.
I will knock on every door I can
to help you, the African Union
envoy to Somalia, Jerry Rawlings,
told the gathered families in the
capital of Mogadishu.
Somalias 20-year-old civil war is
partly to blame for turning the
drought in the Horn of Africa into
a famine. Analysts warned that aid
agencies could be airlifting emer-
gency supplies to the failed state
20 years from now unless the U.N.-
backed government improves.
The U.N. has appealed for $300
million to over the next two
months and aid agencies warn it
will take at least $1 billion to pro-
vide emergency food, medicine
and shelter for 11 million people in
East Africa until the end of the
year.
The U.N. believes tens of thou-
sands have already died in the in-
accessible interior, held by al-Qai-
da linked Islamist rebels who de-
nied many aid agencies access for
two years.

kind of man he was, Jones said.
Farewell, my friend, for all that
you created and brought to bear
in this world and the legacy that
you leave behind.
Cassandra Villano, Pittston
Township, said she and her fam-
ily got to know Flood during his
controller campaign, and he
treated them like family.
He made such an impression
on my life, showed me how to be
strong, to be young and inde-
pendent and outspoken, Villano
said. He made me who I am to-
day.
One of Floods nephews, Bob
Johnson, who lives locally, said
Flood was a prankster.
He did all kinds of crazy
things. I have so many stories
that I cant remember them all.
Most of themare very nice. Some
of them he got me good, John-
son said.
His uncle worked hard and ex-
pected the same from others, he
said.
He was a tough guy to work
for. Im sure the people at the
courthouse know that, he said,
evokinglaughter inthe audience.
Another nephew, David Flood
Jr., of Ohio, said his uncle was
larger than life and had an in-
satiable appetite to learnandtry
new things.
Flood rose to the rank of ser-
geant in the U.S. Army, left no
stone unturned as county con-
troller and started a successful
military antiques auction house,
lobster business anddeli, he said.
Flood also enjoyed many hobbies
cars, traveling, sailing and fol-
lowing the Philadelphia Phillies,
he said.
He always pushed the enve-
lope. Ive never seen anyone push
the envelope so far, his nephew
said.
He turned to face the open cas-
ket, tellingFloodthat he was the
ultimate uncle and was the big-
gest influence on his life.
Buffalo resident Chuck Sca-
glione, who also worked in an-
tiques, said his time with Flood
was always an adventure.
He never didthings ona small
scale. Everything was bigger
than life, Scaglione said. He
was the love of my life, and I truly
will miss him.
Several county officials attend-
ed the funeral: Prothonotary Car-
olee Medico Olenginski, Con-
troller Walter Griffith, Commis-
sioner Stephen A. Urban, Sheriff
John Gilligan and Chief Deputy
Sheriff Carl Zawatski.
As she waited for the service to
begin, Medico Olenginski re-
called how Flood used to thrust
out his arms as if they were in
handcuffs while predicting that
former county judges Mark Cia-
varella and Mike Conahan would
someday leave the courthouse as
criminals.
As controller, Floodhaduncov-
ered information about the for-
mer judges and a Pittston Town-
ship juvenile detention center
leased by the county, including
details gleanedby a private inves-
tigator he hired and paid for on
his own.
Flood presented his findings
and suspicions to federal author-
ities, convincing them to investi-
gate, his lawyers have said.
The Rev. Richard S. Wyzykiew-
icz of Devon Preparatory School,
Floods alma mater, performed
the funeral service. Wyzykiewicz
had been Floods classmate and
friend, and the audience nodded
knowingly when he described
Floods outgoing personality and
passionfor debate andargument.
The thing I liked about Steve
I dont know if everybody
wouldlikethis trait hespokehis
mind and he was in many, many
ways a very moral person, Wyzy-
kiewicz said.
He wanted things to be right.
He wanted things to be true. He
wanted them to be correct.
Flood, who was 67 and lived in
Dorrance Township, was buried
at St. Marys Cemetery in Hanov-
er Township.
The pallbearers included Ur-
ban and Floods friend, local at-
torney Richard Goldberg. An al-
bum of photos showing Flood
with his friends and family and
running for controller was placed
in his casket.
An American flag draped over
the casket was folded after the
playing of Taps and handed to
Urban, who then presented it
with a hug and condolences to
Floods longtime partner and
guardian, Heather Paulhamus.

UNION TWP. The North-
west Area School Board on
Wednesday evening unanimous-
ly approved a major contract
concession fromdistrict support
personnel an extension of the
current collective bargaining
agreement that stipulates no sal-
ary increases through June 30,
2012. The board voted 8-0 on the
extension.
Support personnel include
teachers aides, maintenance
employees, cafeteria workers
and administrative assistants.
School board member Randy
Tomasacci commended the
unionized employees for their
cooperation during a period of
budget constraints, which board
member Albert Gordon warned
could become more acute in
2012-13.
During a legislative report,
Gordon said the state restricts
school boards ability to raise
taxes, and state cuts will pro-
spectively result in deeper cost-
cutting next school year.
But all of the financial news
wasnt bad. Because state reim-
bursement was $372,000 more
than budgeted, the board acted
to rescind a tax anticipation loan
with Penn Security Bank &
Trust. On June 30, it approved
$595,862incontingencyfunding
from the bank.
In addition, board member
Michael Pegarella reported
Northwests share of the pro-
posed budget of the West Side
Career and Technical Center has
been reduced by 10 percent.
Overall, he said, Northwests
portion is $476,832.
Gary Powlus, acting superin-
tendent, said he has talked with
the Luzerne County Housing
Authority about the Garrison
School Building in Shickshinny,
which was closed this year.
Powlus also said the board
should act to refinance a bond is-
sue which dates to 2007 to save
interest.
The board also hired three
teachers: Ashley Papadoplos as
an elementary teacher at an an-
nual salary of $39,848; Amy
Clink, elementary music, at
$49,849; and Darren Ryan, ele-
mentary teacher, $48,200. Do-
rinda McHenry was retained as
grant writer at $25 per hour.
Coaching staff hirings for win-
ter and spring sports were ap-
proved and the resignation of
Terri DuMond as varsity field
hockey coach was accepted.
In response to protests raised
by John Sotelo at the June meet-
ing, Joseph Ramus, assistant
high school principal, outlined a
series of changes that have been
instituted with regard to the
graduation project. Sotelo said
previouslythat hebelieveddirec-
tion and guidance were lacking,
which resulted in his son, and
several of his sons classmates,
receiving less than favorable
grades on their projects.
Rasmus said the student
manual for the upcoming term
will contain updated informa-
tion about defined goals, greater
communication with parents,
the availability of a summer pro-
gram, a means for tracking pro-
gress and options for parents
who believe their child is in need
of assistance.
Sotelo said that as the board
advised him to do, he met with
Rasmus as well as Ryan Minor,
high school principal, to discuss
what he believedtobe shortcom-
ings with regard to the gradua-
tionproject. The meetinghelped
to produce the changes Rasmus
outlined, Sotelo said.

SCRANTON A Russian na-
tional who pleaded guilty to par-
ticipatinginamilitaryequipment
export smuggling operation was
sentenced Thursday in federal
court to six months inprison.
Sergey Korznikov, 42, of Mos-
cow, will begin his sentence on
Aug. 11 at a yet to be determined
location.
Senior U.S. District Judge Ed-
winKosikalsoorderedKorznikov
to serve two years of supervised
release upon the completion of
his sentence.
Korznikov and co-defendant
Mark Komoroski, owner of D&R
Sporting Goods in Nanticoke,
were charged in January 2010
with conspiring to smuggle the
equipment that included rifle
scopes, ammunition magazines
and face shields to Russia from
the UnitedStates.
Korznikov was connected to
Moscow-based Tactica Ltd. that
sells rifle optics, binoculars,
boots, and other hunting and pa-
ramilitary equipment.
Federal authorities believed he
had illegally exported hundreds
of thousands of dollars of equip-
ment over a several-year period,
accordingtoasearchwarrant affi-
davit filedin2006.
Komoroski received a 32-
month sentence in July 2010, was
ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and
serve two years of supervised re-
lease.
The investigation was handled
by the U.S. Department of Home-
land Security, Immigration and
Customs Enforcement; Internal
Revenue Service criminal investi-
gations unit; Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explo-
sives; U.S. Postal Inspection Ser-

FUNERALS
O
n July 20, 2011, the selfless,
high-spirited, courageous, and
epic life of Edward W. Brezinski, 85,
of Nanticoke, ended as he would
havewantedit. His eyes wouldclose
as he lived -- strong, content, grate-
ful, happy, andat peace. His last mo-
ments were spent listening to pol-
kas, surrounded by the happy me-
mories of a life lived to the fullest;
devoted to family, friends, Faith,
and service to others.
His devotion was no greater than
to his family, for whomhe sacrificed
gladly. When asked the question
what he cared most about on his
walls, he wrote lots and lots of fam-
ily pictures, and his home bears
that fact. His son, John, diedin1959,
but whenever a family photo went
up, he was quick to slip in a B & W
photo of his three-year-old son so it
would be complete.
His family was vast, and he was
about family. He was the husbandof
Mary Giuliani. He is back with his
beloved wife who so abruptly left us
all 13 years ago, but together they
hadfoundtruelove, actingliketeen-
agers after 49 years of marriage.
Surely they are back to polka danc-
ing and walking hand-in-hand on
the beach. He is the father to Daria,
Buddy, John, Mark, and Damian.
His children never wanted for
anything. They have memories of
fishing, building soap box derby
cars, him making the attic into a
kids room the envy of all, and put-
ting wheels on boards to have a
skate board. Andtheir life successes
extend back to all he and their
mother did, taught, and sacrificed
for them.
He was the grandfather of
Megan, Aaron, Adam, Alexander,
Alexander, Jonathan, and Damon.
He was the great-grandfather of
Zoe, Lilly, and Scarlet. He was a son
of Anna and Joseph, and his siblings
were John, Ted, Jean, Tony, and
Stanley. These are just some of the
family he treasured, which also in-
cluded the names Juliani, Vavrick,
and Coyle.
Friends were so much of his life --
they made his life and he made
theirs -- which is one of the reasons
he was always smiling. The night he
had returned home for that fateful
fall, carrying too much as usual,
helping others, he had spent a full
day which included his beloved se-
nior center and with close friend,
Stella. Fortunately, he then would
be surrounded by loving neighbors
so dear to him; his little community
he loved to come home to. Making
friends for him was easy, with that
amazing smile and genuine love of
people. Even spending two months
in Massachusetts, he touched the
hearts of so many, not the least of
which were Jim and Sherry who he
wouldfromthenoncherish. His life-
time was filled with a vast number
of friends he loved deeply and with
great passion, though often more
with actions and smiles than words.
He shared laughs and memories
with them, and along with his fam-
ily pictures, no wall space or shelf is
without these treasured moments
captured on film. He was dedicated
to them, with people telling stories
recently about needing to talk at 2
a.m. or an emergency ride to Phila-
delphia, and himalways being there
to do it. No picture exemplifies his
dedication to friends more than one
that sits inthelivingroomfromover
60 years ago. His arm is around his
best friend from World War II, who
would die a few days after the pic-
ture was taken, but would always be
in his heart. His love of family and
friends was without an expiration
date.
An astonishing fact is that wher-
ever his travels took him, people al-
ways commented on how happy he
always was. This is a testament to
his strength, for in a world where
people find ways of complaining of
the smallest inconveniences intheir
lives, tragedy found a way of fre-
quently and dramatically entering
his. Beinga P.O.W. inJapan, andsuf-
fering strokes from it for the rest of
his life, would itself give himreason
to be melancholy, but it didnt
through his strength and Faith. Nor
did the loss of his beloved wife in a
car accident on Christmas Eve or
thesonwhodiedat threeafter being
cured by surgery; nor the sudden
tragic losses of his mother, father,
and three of his brothers.
He continued to celebrate life, be
happy, and, as anyone who newhim
could testify, live it to the fullest, all
85 years (with a smile and Faith).
He wore out and kept in his kitchen
a1960s book called Pennies for the
Poor Box where a chapter marked
was about St. Joseph and not worry-
ing, which many can benefit from
reading. His life was always about
celebrating and living.
He was heroic, but he would nev-
er admit it or believe it. And this is
not just talking about his actions
during the Second World War in-
cluding the large number of mis-
sions and being a prisoner of war. It
was not a collection of individual
events, but who he was, heroism
from the simple to the large scale.
He saidnot longago, if the daycame
he couldnt carry ladies trays at the
senior center or help people with
packages, it was time for him to
move on; it was about others and
not him.
Through his life, he was always
helping, even if it meant danger or
risk to him. He would break up
fights or stand up for women, and
both his fall last year and this year
were carrying too much for others
(though he would likely disagree
withthis last point). Evenregarding
his health, through the strokes and
the recent falls, he battled back he-
roically choosing to fight rather
thangive inandevencominginches
from doing it again. There was a
photo from the war where he had
his arm around a Japanese soldier,
both of themsmiling. He was asked
what was goingon, because he must
have just been released from the
P.O.W. camp, where he received so
many injuries. He said I forgave him
and that you just have to let go of
those things or you will be unhappy.
That type of forgiveness, by itself, is
heroic. Yet if you showed him a pic-
ture of 20 people (him being one)
and asked him to pick the hero, he
would with sincerity, pick the other
19. But the one medal he was always
proud of was the Caterpillar Club
(medal), jumping out of an airplane
under fire during a war. That should
be mentioned.
Ed was a man of faith, and his
family knows God through him and
their mother. He prayed all the time
and wrote many of his own prayers.
He loved church and didnt go be-
cause he was supposedto, but want-
ed to. Almost every square inch of
the house has a picture or statue of
Jesus, Mary, or a Saint. Inone place,
he has four exact copies of the same
picture of Jesus, but no one ever
asked why. But his patron Saint was
St. Thrse of Lisieux, The Little
Flower of Jesus. Maybe that was
the reason for his love of roses.
But none of these things men-
tioned he would even have listed as
an accomplishment. To him, his ac-
complishments were (so they are
listed), graduating high school (af-
ter the war), business college, the
public service institute, andphotog-
raphy/gunnery school. He worked
for the railway service, federal secu-
rity agency, and postal service. His
organizations included the Federal
Security Agency (director), St. Al-
phonus Retreat (president), St.
Francis Holy Name (President),
Nanticoke Board of Adjustment
(secretary), Nanticoke Chamber of
Commerce (Executive Director),
Nanticoke Chamber of Commerce
(president), United Fund (presi-
dent), American Red Cross (board,
Nanticoke), Postmaster Kelayers,
Pa., Honeypot Volunteer Hose Co.,
and Bishop Hafey General Assemb-
ly (4th degree). And of particular
note, he was a Disabled Veteran,
Knights of Columbus (member,
eventhoughhewasnt Italian), Sons
of Italy (member, even though he
wasnt Italian), and he was also a
crossing guard when he retired (but
probably hit too many cars with the
sign when they would be speeding),
and again the Caterpillar Club.
For his family, when asked who
their heroes were, they have always
saidmy father andmother, andhave
been fortunate to be their child. Ed-
ward was a devoted/loving family
man, deeply faithful Catholic, indi-
vidual of strength, loving and de-
pendable friend, and inspiration to
those whose life he has touched.
Those who loved him mourn his
loss, but are particularly sorry for
those who never had a chance of
knowing him.
Funeral services will be held
at 9:30 a.m. Saturday fromthe
Kearney Funeral Home Inc., 173 E.
GreenSt., Nanticoke, witha Mass of
Christian Burial at 10 a.m. in St.
Faustina Church. The Rev. James
Nash will officiate. Interment will
be in Holy Trinity Cemetery, Shea-
town. Friends and family may call
from 5 to 8 p.m. this evening.
The family has two requests. 1.
The family is keeping a memory
box, so any memories people would
like to leave with future generations
of my father, please write them
down and leave them in the box. 2.
Donations, if desired, are to the Ma-
ry Brezinski Scholarship fund at

WILKES-BARRE A former
Luzerne County Correctional Fa-
cility inmate has filed a lawsuit
in Luzerne County Court alleg-
ing the prison lost, misplaced
and/or stole nearly $5,000
worth of his jewelry.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday by
James Stone, of Nanticoke, lists
Luzerne County, the prison and
Warden Joseph Piazza as defend-
ants.
Stone, represented by attor-
ney Michael Yelen, had been in-
carcerated at the prison begin-
ning on Feb. 17, 2010, on charges
stemming from a December
2008 incident in which police
say he possessed a stolen fire-
arm.
Stone was sentenced in Febru-
ary 2010 to 10 to 20 months at
the county prison, but applied
for entry into the countys Home
Incarceration Program, and was
paroled in July 2010.
At the time he began serving
his sentence, Stone said in the
lawsuit, he was required to relin-
quish his jewelry to the prison.
When he was released on July
26, 2010, Stone said the county,
prison and warden were unable
to account for the jewelry they
were responsible for safe keep-
ing of.
Stone said his items were
lost, misplaced and/or stolen
due to negligence, and that the
county, prison and warden have
violated his constitutional right
to due process before depriva-
tion of his property.
He alleged in the lawsuit that
the listed defendants had previ-
ously agreed to reimburse Stone
the $4,652.34 for the jewelry but
had not yet made the payment as
of Thursdays court filing.
Stone requests payment for
the jewelry as well as other costs
and interest.
County Solicitor Vito DeLuca
said Thursday he had not yet
seen Stones filing and could not
adequately comment.

WASHINGTON The U.S.
Senate Judiciary Committee
on Thursday approved the fed-
eral judicial nomination of
Scranton labor lawyer Robert
Mariani.
Marianis nomination for the
U.S. District Court for the Mid-
dle District of Pennsylvania
now heads for a full Senate
floor vote, though that could
be weeks or even months from
nowbecause of a backlog of ju-
dicial nominations waiting for
action by the full Senate.
Mariani was one of six judi-
cial nominees to be approved
en bloc by the judiciary com-
mittee in a unanimous voice
vote, a signthat there is little, if
any, controversy attached to
his nomination.
Tencommittee members, in-
cludingfour Republicans, were
present for the voice vote in a
Senate hearing room.
In addition to Mariani, two
other Pennsylvanians saw
their judicial nominations ad-
vance Thursday: Western Dis-
trict nominees Cathy Bissoon
and Mark Hornak.
Mariani appeared before the
committee last month for his
nomination hearing.
A sign then that his nomina-
tionwouldnot be controversial
was the appearance, also, of
both of Pennsylvanias sen-
ators, Democratic Sen. Bob
Casey of Scranton as might be
expected of a nomination
made by a Democratic presi-
dent, but also GOP Sen. Pat
Toomey of Zionsville.
Toomey appeared along
with Casey at the June 22 judi-
ciary committee hearing to in-
troduce Mariani and the other
Pennsylvania nominees and
laud their nominations.
Toomey said Mariani and
the other two Pennsylvania
nominees all have the neces-
sary experience and skill to be
fair and impartial judges.
These attributes will serve
them very well if they are con-
firmed for the bench, and I
hope that the committee favor-
ably reports all three nominees
to the full Senate, which I hope
will then promptly confirm
them, Toomey said at the
hearing.
Mariani told the committee
at the hearing that following
the letter of the lawand adher-
ing to higher court precedents
would guide his actions on the
U.S. District Court for the Mid-
dle District of Pennsylvania,
not his years as a labor lawyer.
I amvery pleased that these
well-qualified candidates can
now come before the Senate
for a confirmation vote, Casey
said. It is imperative that
these vacancies are filled as
soon as possible to address the
shortage of U.S. district court
judges inPennsylvania. This is-
sue transcends partisanship
and I look forward to contin-
uingtoworkwithSen. Toomey
to ensure that Pennsylvania
has the most experienced, ac-
complished and talented judg-
es on our courts.

ancers from the Israeli Scouts Tzofim Friendship Caravan perform at the Wilkes-Barre
Jewish Community Center Thursday evening in the Al & Leah Ufberg Memorial Con-
cert. The groups members are emissaries for Israel who share their lives in song, dance
and story. The dancers will join Israeli Deputy Consul General Raslan Abu Rukun, who will
give an Israel update, at WVIA-TV in Jenkins Township on Sunday at 3 p.m.
Some runs and loops in
some bus routes through
northern Luzerne County are
being eliminated while others
are being added.
The Luzerne
County Transpor-
tation Authority
announced the
changes will be ef-
fective Monday.
Eliminated are:
The Cotton
Street loop from
the No. 1, Miners Mills route,
which runs along Cotton,
Stanton and School streets in
the Hudson section of Plains
Township.
The 10:15 a.m. run on the
No. 6, Dallas route, which be-
gins at the Intermodal in
Wilkes-Barre and travels
through Luzerne, Shaver-
town, Dallas and back to
Wilkes-Barre.
The 6:05 a.m. run on
Route 8, Swoyersville, which
begins at the Intermodal and
travels through Kingston,
Swoyersville and Luzerne.
The Andover Street loop
from the No. 7, Ge-
orgetown route.
Stanley Strelish,
LCTA executive di-
rector, said most
changes to existing
routes are based on
feedback from bus
drivers.
When we elimi-
nate something, its definitely
because of poor ridership,
said Strelish, who estimated
there might have been one or
two passengers at the most on
the eliminated runs or loops.
While some areas have seen
a decrease in ridership, there
has been a demand for more
runs in others, Strelish said.
The LCTA is adding a 9
a.m. trip to from the Intermo-
dal to the Wyoming Valley
Mall via Pennsylvania Ave-
nue, Butler Street, Kidder
Street and East End Boule-
vard.
And, Strelish said, the No.
17, Avoca route now services
downtown Pittston.
Riders of the No. 11, West
Pittston route are advised to
check new schedules for new
times.
Strelish said the unionized
bus drivers will have to go
through a bidding process for
the route adjustments.
Some bus runs, loops being eliminated
The LCTA announced the
changes will be effective
Monday.

All that the state legislation is doing is
looking at how we can safeguard and pro-
tect a voting system that is corrupt and
has the potential to become even more
corrupt.
Is a voters photo ID card the answer to
all of the polling problems? No. But it is a
deterrent.
What is the real solution? Pennsylva-
nians committing to what is right, what is
honest and what is just. This is not only
for superheroes.
We have to stop individuals from voting
multiple times or voting under different
names. Not a citizen, not a voter.
Stop the tampering of voting machines.
Stand up against those who try to intimi-
date us and our choice of candidate.
A voters government-issued photo ID
card is a first step to help keep legitimacy
in our voting process. Thank you to all
who vote legally.

Recent news of Leighton
sits poorly with reader
I
lost count recently while reading about
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Thomas Leighton
and all the negative publicity he has
received over the past couple of weeks.
The city got funds that were supposed to
go to the Hotel Sterling but magically
went to the intermodal transportation
center and that project still was millions
of dollars over budget.
Thousands of dollars paid out to law-
yers fees to pay those who were wronged
by the city, and all Leighton could do was
blame those people for the citys problems.
Selling city property without proper
notification to the public, and selling the
property, it seems, to only those who con-
tribute to his campaign. He says the city is
buying properties that are blighted to be
fixed up, but I just dont understand. I
might not be great at math, but the city
losing a couple thousand dollars in each
transaction doesnt seem very good.
Also, the closing of firehouses and mak-
ing one of them only part time, increasing
response time.
The latest and greatest: He hired not
only his niece, but also his daughter for
seasonal work. Wow, I am sure those were
the two best teenagers for city work. To
me, this is a little brazen considering that
all the corruption and hiring of relatives is
a big no-no anymore.
I hope when it comes to election time
you remember the high taxes you pay for
nepotism.

MY FIRST reaction when
the lionization began after
Steve Flood died? I hate to
admit it, but a variation of
the opening song from Ev-
ita ran through my mind.
But who is this Santo
Steve? Why all this howling, hysterical sor-
row? What kind of god has lived among us,
how will we ever get by without him?
It feels sacrilegious to question the corrup-
tion-busting cred of the fiery former Luzerne
County controller, particularly after he en-
dured years of suffering from a debilitating
stroke.
But the questioning is almost inevitable. It
might be because Flood was controller for
only one term, yet the accolades pour forth as
though he had spent a lifetime exposing
fraud and waste.
Or it might be because so much of his
behavior could too easily be interpreted as a
relentless craving for the public limelight,
blurring the line between selfless crusading
and ego-driven grandstanding.
As I put it in a 2009 column: The man
could come across as a conspiracy kook on a
witch hunt as easily as he could appear to be
a Paladin poised to ride in and restore justice
to a system gone rancid.
Steve Flood always sounded the alarm in
flamboyant fashion, conducting surprise
visits to county operations such as Moon
Lake Park. He proudly played up his part as a
Democratic Party pariah, as when he en-
dorsed Ed Rendell for governor while the
county Democratic Party backed Bob Casey
Jr.
Flood loudly pressed for public airing of
county actions that had occurred under the
radar for years, including cozy arrangements
with pension fund managers and question-
able purchase agreements at the county pris-
on. He might have been the first controller in
Luzerne County to make that office a truly
independent watchdog by aggressively using
the legal tools at his disposal: auditing and
subpoena powers.
Yet his frequent subpoenas seemed amaz-
ingly ineffective; if they werent ignored out-
right, he diminished their impact by with-
drawing them himself.
Floods biggest claim to fame arguably was
the December 2004 release of a draft audit
prepared by the state that criticized the coun-
tys $58 million lease of a PA Child Care
juvenile center. Then-Luzerne County Judge
Michael Conahan slapped a court seal on the
audit faster than you can say corrupt judge.
Four years and one month later, long after
he had been voted out of office by an electo-
rate he deemed unappreciative, Flood was
vindicated when federal prosecutors leveled
charges against Conahan and fellow judge
Mark Ciavarella. The two jurists private
dealings with PA Child Care were at the
heart of those charges.
Even so, Floods role in the downfall of the
two judges was diminished by the feds them-
selves after Ciavarella was convicted by a jury
this year. During a press conference following
the February verdict, U.S. Assistant Attorney
Gordon Zubrod said it was the federal probe
into reputed mob boss William DElia that
led the FBI to the shady business deals of
Conahan and Ciavarella.
There are plenty of reasons to feel some
ambivalence about Floods legacy, to question
whether he deserves the praise heaped upon
him. But in the end, as they laid him to rest
Thursday, I dont think any of that mattered.
The simple fact is, Steve Flood did the
right thing, regardless of motivations or
outcomes.
He spoke out. He defied powerful people at
his own political peril. He kept digging re-
gardless of the roadblocks thrown up by
those powerful people. Despite his flaws, he
provided what democracy needs to survive:
Eternal vigilance.
Its a lesson that must outlive him.

The simple fact is, Steve Flood did the

A
S AMERICANS GO
into what will pre-
sumably be the last
act of the Washington
unreality showthat constitutes
raising the debt limit and pos-
sibly erasing at least part of the
budget deficit, it is definitely
worth looking at a study com-
missioned by The New York
Times on the pay of the coun-
trys top executives.
As gauged by Equilar, an ex-
ecutive compensation data
firm, in a nutshell, the median
pay of top executives at 200 of
Americas big companies in
2010 rose 23 percent from
2009. That median pay level
stood at $10.8 million, includ-
ing cash bonuses and stock
grants.
Inthemeantime, theaverage
American worker earned $752
a week, or $39,104 a year as his
median pay, a pathetic 0.4 per-
cent of what the top executives
earned.
Where this information
comes into play with respect to
whatever compromise is final-
ly arrived at in Washington if
the United States is spared the
humiliation of a sovereign debt
default is whether Americas
rich should pay more taxes.
Given the revenue problems
the country faces, whatever
agreement President Barack
Obama and the Democrats ar-
rive at with the Republicans
had better include increases in
the taxes that these lucky top
executives pay.

ETRIEDTOlet it
go, but by gosh,
Maine lawmakers,
you overstepped
your bounds this year whenyou
brazenly claimed a rich Penn-

Pennsylvania is no pushover,
its 12.7 million residents not
cream puffs. So, in the stron-
gest terms possible, hear this:
You can have our

you pry it from our
sticky dead fingers.
At first, your illeg-
itimate claim to es-
tablish the chocolate

cial state dessert
amused us. Then,
you had the audacity
to actually bestow that distinc-

reptitiously declaring whoopie
pie your official state treat.
Heresy, plain and simple.
The Amish of Pennsylvania
concoctedthe recipe for gobs,
or whoopiepies, as assuredlyas

klin stove. We call on good
Americans everywhere to flatly
reject Maines revisionist con-
fectionary history. If allowed to
abscondwithour whoopiepies,
what will its cunning lawmak-

The Liberty Bell? Yuengling

franchise?
Or, in the future, might
Maines residents eagerly await
the emergence each June 15 of
Portland Phil, a rodent that
prognosticates when the states
snow pack finally will melt?
This irrational overreach
must be nipped in the bud. Re-
member, Maine lawmakers,
youre messing witha state that
has repelledits share of trouble-
makers. Near Washington
Crossing and at Gettysburg,
our rivals got their just des-
serts.
Now, we Pennsylvania resi-

to remain a peace-
ful people, what
with our Quaker

But were tempted
this weekend to
fuel up on Lion

ufactured in York, Pa., albeit in-
vented in Milwaukee giving

motor up there to teach you

If our sweeter side prevails,
however, well probably point
the car toward Lancaster Coun-
ty and partake in a few authen-
tic, Amish whoopie pies; per-
haps bring home a bakers doz-

eastern corner of our
marvelous commonwealth, its
an expedient and enjoyable trip
into the cradle of the Keystone

And, unlike traveling in
Maine, youalways canget there

SCRANTON Former Luzerne
County Judge Mark Ciavarella
was convicted of 12 of the 39
charges against him, but the 27
not-guilty counts could still come
back to haunt him at sentencing
due to provisions within federal
law.
Ciavarella and his attorneys had
touted his acquittal on the bulk of
the charges as a partial victory fol-
lowing the conclusion of his trial
in February. The fact he was ac-
quitted of the charges doesnt pre-
clude a judge from considering
them when it comes to sentenc-
ing, however.
That issue was the key area of
dispute in a pre-sentence investi-
gation report prepared by the fed-
eral probation office, Ciavarellas
attorney, Al Flora, confirmed
Thursday. The report will be uti-
lized by U.S. District Judge Edwin
Kosik in deciding what sentence
to impose.
The dispute focused on a provi-
sion within federal law that per-
mits a judge to consider other rel-
evant conduct a defendant en-
gaged in when deciding what sen-
tence should be imposed, even if
the defendant was found not
guilty of charges related to that al-
leged conduct.
In Ciavarellas case, he was
found guilty of multiple counts of
racketeering, money laundering,
conspiracy and several tax offens-
es for accepting nearly $1 million
from Robert Mericle, who built
the PA Child Care juvenile deten-
tion center that was utilized by
the county.
He was acquitted of all charges,
including multiple counts of brib-
ery, extortion and racketeering,
relating to his alleged demands of
kickbacks from Robert Powell, the
owner of the center.
Federal law allows Kosik to still
consider Ciavarellas alleged con-
duct involving Powell if the gov-
ernment can show by a prepon-
derance of the evidence that Cia-
varella had engaged in that con-
duct. That standard differs from
the beyond a reasonable doubt
standard utilized in deciding if a
person is guilty of a crime.
Flora said he and fellow defense
attorney William Ruzzo acknowl-
edged that the government could
meet the preponderance of the
evidence standard relating to Cia-
varellas alleged conduct involv-
ing Powell.
But they maintain that the legal
standard should be beyond a rea-
sonable doubt, which is a much
more stringent standard to meet.
The attorneys outlined their ob-
jections in a letter to Kosik that
was filed Thursday.
It is beyond reason that Mark
Ciavarella was acquitted of many
counts in a lengthy indictment. It
would seem out of simple fairness
that acquitted conduct means ac-
quitted conduct, Ruzzo said in
the letter.
In a phone interview, Flora ac-
knowledged the law, as it stands
now, is based on the preponder-
ance of the evidence standard. He
said he and Ruzzo wrote Kosik in
order to preserve their right to ap-
peal that issued to the Third Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals after Ciava-
rella is sentenced.
Old charges could still hurt Ciavarella

counts might factor into the

The dispute focused on a provi-
sion within federal law that per-
mits a judge to consider other
relevant conduct a defendant
engaged in when deciding what
sentence should be imposed, even
if the defendant was found not
guilty of charges related to that
alleged conduct.
ical damage that led him to commit suicide last
June at the age of 23.
Fonzos outburst, captured by numerous
media outlets, made national headlines, leading
to her appearance on several national news pro-
grams.
Fonzo said Thursday her frustration level con-
tinued to grow as the days, weeks and then
months went by, without any word of a sentenc-
ing date.
I had dates in mind. I kept hoping (the sen-
tencing) would be on Eds birthday or the anni-
versary of his death. The days kept coming and
passing and you kind of lost hope, she said.
Ciavarella and former Judge Michael Conahan
were originally charged in January 2009. Both
men pleaded guilty to accepting money from
persons involved with two juvenile centers. They
later withdrew the pleas after Kosik rejected
terms of their deals.
Conahan negotiated a new deal and pleaded
guilty in July 2010 to one count of racketeering
conspiracy. No sentencing date has yet been set
for him.
Ciavarella went to trial and was convicted of 12
of the 39 charges filed against him for accepting
nearly $1 million from local developer Robert
Mericle, who built the PA Child Care and West-
ern PA Child Care juvenile detention centers.
His sentencing had been delayed, in part, due
to a dispute over the pre-sentence investigation
report being prepared by the federal probation
department that will be utilized by Kosik in de-
termining the sentence.
Ciavarella is facing a maximum sentence of
157 years in prison, but prosecutors said its more
likely he will be sentenced within federal sen-
tencing guidelines, which call for a sentence of
12 years, 7 months to 15 years, 8 months in pris-
on. Kosik is not obligated to follow the guide-
lines, however, and could sentence him to more
or less time.
Fonzo said she hopes to get to speak in court at
Ciavarellas sentencing. She said her confronta-
tion of him following the trial was an emotional,
spur-of-the-moment reaction and she does not
anticipate it will occur again.
All I want is for justice to be served and for
him to be held accountable for what he did, she
said. Im sure Im going to be emotional. I dont
want to cause any kind of ruckus.
Fonzo has continued to advocate for a stiff sen-
tence, utilizing the social networking site Face-
book to urge the public to attend the sentencing
and to write letters to Kosik, asking him to im-
pose the maximum sentence possible.
She has also continued to advocate for chang-
es to juvenile justice laws in Pennsylvania. In
April she testified before a state Senate panel in
support of several bills that would provide more
safeguards for juveniles in court.
Fonzo said she has also become an advocate of
the national movement to do away with for-profit
prisons and juvenile detention facilities. PA
Child Care and Western PA Child Care were for-
profit businesses. They exemplify the abuses
that can occur at such facilities, Fonzo said.
Its unbelievable that its legal and we allow
people to make money off of this, she said. Cia-
varella and everyone involved are proof that you
have people who dont have pure intentions in
mind. Greed and power and money are their
higher intentions.
SENTENCE
Continued from Page 1A
SCRANTON An attorney for several defend-
ants in the kids for cash lawsuits plans to in-
terview the alleged victims of juveniles who are
now suing former Judge Mark Ciavarella and
others.
Bernard Schneider, attorney for PA Child Care,
Western PA Child Care and Mid Atlantic Youth
Services, hopes to obtain evidence he believes
will show Ciavarella was right to incarcerate the
juveniles, according to court papers.
Schneider filed a motion Thursday that seeks to
alter a confidentiality order that precludes at-
torneys from revealing information contained in
juvenile records to any
member of the public.
Schneider, of Pitts-
burgh, said the defend-
ants need to identify the
juveniles by name, as well
as provide details of the
crimes contained in court
records, to the alleged
victims in order to refresh
their memories of the
crimes, many of which
occurred years ago.
The interviews, which
will also include police
officers and witnesses to the crimes, will be done
in order to ascertain if the juveniles were guilty of
the charges, Schneider said.
That evidence will be utilized to determine if
the plaintiffs would have been adjudicated delin-
quent and subject to the dispositions issued by
Ciavarella without regard to the alleged payments
to Ciavarella, Schneider said.
Schneiders clients are among several defend-
ants that remain in several class-action suits that
allege Ciavarella improperly incarcerated juveniles
at the PA and Western PA Child Care centers as
part of a scheme to enrich himself and others.
Schneider was obligated to file the motion be-
cause a confidentiality agreement reached by all
parties in the suits limits the information attor-
neys can share with others not directly connected
to the litigation.
Schneider argues the motion should be granted
because in most cases the victims and police al-
ready know the identity of the juvenile, therefore
there is no breach of confidentiality. For other
cases, he argues the juveniles waived their right
to confidentiality when they filed the suit.
U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo will re-
view the motion and issue an order at a later
date.

Its a poor
workman who
blames his
tools, and cad-
die Steve Wil-
liams was cer-
tainly one of
Tiger Woodss
most important tools.
Woods won 13 of 14 majors
and 72 tournaments with Wil-
liams toting his clubs the past
dozen years. Thats a nice living
for a golfer and by extension, for
his caddie. But as Williams
himself pointed out Wednesday,
the last 18 months in Tigerland
havent produced a lot of fun (or
funds). Woods has gotten di-
vorced and injured, hes been
treated for a sex addiction, hes
fired and hired a swing coach,
hes tried and failed to return to
form ... hes a mess.
Williams, who more often
protected Woods from fans and
the media than advised him on
club selection, waited patiently
through all this. He hinted in an
interview with New Zealand
television that hes not been
paid during this period, either,
saying its been hard on his
family. Caddies are paid based
on their golfers success, so this
makes sense.
So when Adam Scott called
asking for Williamss help, Wil-
liams asked Woods for permis-
sion, Woods said go ahead ...
and then fired him a few weeks
later. Woods told Williams his
services were no longer required
earlier this month at the AT&T
National but Williams kept quiet
until Woods issued a statement
on his website. Then Williams
said, "You could say Ive wasted
the last two years of my life."
Of course, Williams played a
far more important role in
Woodss life than caddie -- he
was also Woodss friend. And
friends are hard to come by in
Woodss world, where nearly
everyone has more than one
motive for wanting to get close
to you. His friends seemed to be
other golfers, and after word got
out of his many, many infidel-
ities, some of them walked
away. If you socialize with gol-
fers, you socialize with their
wives as well. Its an insular
world and a guy with Woodss
track record isnt going to be
welcomed back into it any time
soon.
Williams was one of the guys
who stuck by Tiger. He may
have expressed his disappoint-
ment in Woodss behavior to
Woods but he remained friends
with him. Even after all his
years of success, Woods still
comes off as stiff and wooden, in
commercials, in media inter-
views, in his painful TV apology.
Think about the times youve
seen Woods smile or laugh; Im
betting Williams was standing
next to him, whispering in his
ear. Its one of the few hints we
have that Woods might actually
have a personality and a sense of
humor.
The conspiracy theorists
among us say this is one more
sign that the left leg injuries
that have crippled Woodss
game are more serious than he
will admit and that his career is
finished, even if he gets Benny
Goodman as a swing coach and
Bagger Vance as his looper. Hes
done, and letting Williams go
was the kind thing to do.

MILTON -- It was precisely
the opportunity that Back
Mountain needed to stage a
huge rally in the 9-10 year old
Pennsylvania state baseball
tournament late in the sixth in-
ning at the Myers F. Byers Me-
morial Sports Complex.
After three consecutive sin-
gles by Michael Anderson, Mi-
chael Doggett and Ethan Zawat-
ski, Back
Mountain had
the bases load-
ed with just
one out, trail-
ing by five
runs.
Derek Answi-
ni got a hold of one right down
the third-base line that looked
like it was foul, but the umpires
call was fair and that brief con-
fusion by the Back Mountain
base runner on third was just
enough to allow Twin Valleys
third baseman to double him
and the runner on second up to
end the game, giving Twin Val-
ley a 9-4 win in the losers
bracket and eliminate Back
Mountain from the state tourna-
ment.
We dont agree (on the um-
pires call), but we didnt run
the bases well there, Back
Mountain manager Jeff Doggett
said. Our guys know if hes go-
ing to go, he should go. He hes-
itated for no reason and (it) just
wasnt our day. I love these
kids. Im really heartbroken for
them.
Back Mountain started off
the game with a three-run home
run by Michael Doggett into the
trees in center field to take a 3-0
lead, but Twin Valley struck
right back in the next two in-
nings. Bradley Rutherford hit a
double to the fence in the first
to drive in two runs. and then
an error on Back Mountains
pitcher allowed John Bender to
tie the game up with an RBI in
the bottom of the second.
It wasnt until a few innings
later though that the momen-
tum swung away from Back
Mountain and into Twin Val-
leys corner.

tering heat Thursday afternoon
for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre dur-
ing a 6-5 victory that helped it sal-
vage a split of a four-game series
in Huntington
Park.
Leadoff dou-
bles in the sixth,
seventh and
eighth innings
each created
runs, and a lead-
off single in the
second set the
Yankees up for a
three-run in-
ning.
Kevin Russo
and Austin
Krum each had
three hits and
Jordan Parraz started off two in-
nings with base hits.
Whenyoustart toget ona roll,
(the leadoff hits are) huge, Krum
said. Getting the first guy on can
wreaksomuchhavocontheother
team. Today offensively we were
feeling it, and we probably didnt
even put as many runs across as
we could have.
The offensive performance pro-
vided a comfortable cushion for
Yankees starter Lance Pendleton,
who gave up three hits and just
one run over six innings to pick
up his third victory. It also repre-
sented his longest outing of the
year.
A three-run seventh inning off

pinch-hitter Nick Johnson creat-
ed some anxious moments, but
Buddy Carlyle rebounded after
giving up Johnsons slam to cen-
ter by retiring the final three bat-
ters.
That earned him his first save.
(Pendleton) was working
ahead in the count, manager
Dave Miley said. It was a tough
day for everybody with the heat
and he gives us six, which is a tip
of the hat to him. I thought he did
a nice job.

damage inthe secondinning. Par-

After two second-place Tour

for a three-peat with a bold,

Stage 18 in the Alps on Thurs-

ATLANTA NFL owners
voted overwhelmingly on
Thursday to conditionally ap-
prove a new 10-year labor
agreement with the players.
They expressed hope that the
players would approve the deal
and end a lockout that has
dragged on for more than four
months.
Yet player representatives
not only didnt vote on the deal
Thursday night, but they also
said the league agreed impro-
perly on a new revenue-sharing
plan among owners, thereby vi-
olating collective bargaining
rules.
Sorry, folks. Its not over.
The clubs approved an
agreement that was negotiated
with the players this after-
noon, commissioner Roger
Goodell said at a news confer-
ence late Thursday afternoon.
In addition to approving that
agreement, we also approved a
supplemental revenue-sharing
system for the next 10 years.
With this ratification and with
the ratification of the NFLPA
board, we will be prepared to

Breese could list the Super

Whether it was a defense
mechanism or sheer confi-

Barney Inn and Beer Brothers
in Wilkes-Barre took solace
after the NFL owners passed a
resolution to end the four-
month lockout on Thursday.
Everything is going to be
fine, said Breese. Football is

BUL L E T I N BOARD
By Mark Dudek
For The Times Leader
Waldorf Hall is my pick to take the money this evening in the
$29,000 OpenTrot. Trainedby JimRaymer, the four-year oldConway
Hall stallion has been fairly consistent, hitting the board in eight of
nine seasonal starts. Last week, his only off the board finish of 2011,
Waldorf Hall came off the pace to only miss by a length and three-
quarters (finishing fourth) to the top trotter on the planet, Arch Mad-
ness. Hes shown the versatility to win on or off the pace and gets
some slight class relief tonight as well, add all this up and I look for a
top effort for the Matt Kakaley reined trotter in that tenth race fea-
ture.

PHILADELPHIA Hip-hop
music blares from the sound sys-
tem inside Jimmy Rollins locker
after everygamethePhiladelphia
Phillies win.
Whether he was 0 for 4 or had
four hits, Rollins celebrates each
victory the same way with his
teammates. The former NL MVP
is the heart and soul of the Phil-
lies, and he supplies much of the
swagger in a low-key clubhouse.
Lately, Rollins has done most
of the hitting, too.
Hes staying on the ball and
hes a bit more patient, manager
Charlie Manuel said. His bat is
quick.
Since July 2, Rollins is batting
.406 with four homers and 11
RBIs in 14 games. Hes raised his
average 26 points in that span.
That comes with being selec-
tiveandgettinggoodballs tohit,
Manuel said. That shows hes re-
ally bearing down, hes focused
more and hes having fun play-
ing.
Rollins is an integral part of
Philadelphias offense. As the
leadoff hitter, its his job to get
things going. Its no coincidence
when hes hot, the team scores
more runs. The NL East leaders
have averaged 5.7 runs per game
this month and are 10-5.
We just have to find ways to
keep winning games, to keep get-
ting big hits, Rollins said. Like
Charlie says, its now how many
you get, its when you get them.
Of course, youvegot toget hits to
get on most of the time, but you
want to get hits when guys are on
base and weve been able to do
that.
Overall, Rollins is batting .277
with 11 homers and 41 RBIs this
season. The switch-hitting short-
stop has 60 runs, 19 steals, a .344
on-base percentage and is on
pace to set a career-high in walks.
Its his best, all-around season
since 2007 when he was MVP af-
ter putting up these incredible
numbers: .296 average, 30 home-
rs, 94 RBIs, 20 triples, 41 steals.
Rollins didnt come close to
matching that production the
next three years. In 2008, Rollins
hit .277 with 11 homers and 59
RBIs. In 09, he hit .250 with 21
homers and77RBIs, but hada ca-
reer-worst .296 on-base percent-
age. Last year, Rollins played in a
career-low 88 games because of
leg injuries and had a career-
worst .243 average.
Entering the final year of a
$46.5-million, six-year contract,
there were questions whether
Rollins is onthe decline at age 32.
He started slowthis season while
filling in for the injured Chase Ut-
ley as the No. 3 hitter.
Rollins hit .271 with only one
homer and five RBIs in 27 games
batting third in the lineup. Hes
hitting .277 with 10 homers and
37 RBIs in 64 games leading off.
If youre swinging better,
youre likely going to get more
hits, Rollins said. If youre not
swinging well, the one time you
do hit a line drive, they catch it.
Youve got to keep putting them
out there andhope for something
to fall. Ive been able to do that.
Rollins was drafted in the sec-
ond round of the 1996 amateur
draft by the Phillies and has
played here his entire career. But
hell become a free agent for the
first time after this season, and
theres noguaranteehell beback.
Its hardtoenvisionthe Phillies
without Rollins, especially since
theyexpect tobe contenders for a
few more years because of their
elite pitching staff. Rollins isnt
motivated by getting a new con-
tract, even though hes been un-
derpaid compared to some of his
teammates.
Rollins sudden surge is music to Phillies ears

Or was he just angry or hurt
that Williams asked to caddie
for Scott, that he saw it as a
betrayal of their relationship?
(And if thats the case, then lets
pause for a moment to enjoy the
irony of Tiger Woods feeling
betrayed.) It also speaks vol-
umes for Woodss popularity
that public opinion seems to be
squarely on Williamss side,
despite the fact that he was
never the most popular caddie
on tour.
But in the end, the truth is
probably somewhere in the
middle. Woods may be rebuild-
ing himself from the ground up:
his knee, his swing, his bag, his
new girlfriend. Perhaps hes
divesting himself of all remind-
ers of his previous life. That
seems far more likely than Tiger
Woods giving up on himself. On
others, yes, but not on himself.

dropped by second baseman Ja-
son Kipnis but resulted in an out
by infield fly.
Catcher Gustavo Molina, who
was a late additiontothe lineupin
place of anill Jesus Montero, then
singled to score Parraz and move
Krum to second. After Doug Ber-
nier bounced into a fielders
choice, Russo doubled in Krum
and Bernier.
Krum led off the sixth with a
double, moved to third on a
groundout and scored on an
groundout by Molina to make it
4-1.
In the seventh, Russo doubled,
Greg Golson singled and Mike
Lamb grounded into a double
play, scoring Russo.
The Yankees scored their final
run in the eighth. Parraz led off
with a double, moved to third
when pitcher Chen Lees pickoff
attempt went into center field for
an error and scored on a sacrifice
fly by Krum.
The Clippers rallied to within
5-4 in the seventh when Kipnis
had an RBI sacrifice fly and Jason
Donald and Cord Phelps added
RBI singles, but Randy Flores got
Shelley Duncan to ground out to
end the threat.
You kind of wished wed have

U P N E X T
ish in the Tours 108-year history
Schleck had beaten the favor-
ites by more than two minutes,
come 15 seconds within French-
man Thomas Voecklers grasp on
the yellow jersey, and left Cadel
Evans of Australia clinging to his
title bid.
But the biggest casualty was
Contador, who with an aching
right knee from a crash earlier in
the three-week race, straggled up
to the finish his hopes of a
fourth title in tatters.
Victory is impossible now,
said Contador, who had dropped
back to the race doctor for an an-
ti-inflammatory just as Schleck
prepared his move. I had a bad
day. My legs didnt respond and I
just hit a wall.
The two riders, once friends
who vacationed together, had
animosity during last years Tour
when some say Contador
breached etiquette by speeding
ahead when Schleck had a chain
malfunction a move that turn-
ed out to make the difference in
the outcome.
Schleck wasnt looking at the
past skirmishes with Contador
after Thursdays ride, instead fo-
cusing on his goal of seizing the
yellow shirt that he has long cov-
eted but never worn off the
French race leaders back.
Schleck began the day in
fourth place, 2:36 behind Voeck-
ler. After a first ascent of the Col
dAgnel pass which some call
the toughest single Tour climb
this year Schleck attacked on
the next one, Col dIzoard, and
extended his lead up much of the
fabled Galibier.
The race contenders, led by
Evans, finally reacted once they
saw their victory hopes slipping
away in Schlecks wake. But it
was too late: They could only try
to stanch their losses.
He put it together with a com-
bination of bravado, relatively
fresh legs, and smart racing un-
der an escort from his Leopard
Trek teammates who had fanned
out ahead to help their leader
along.
It was picture-perfect team-
work, as his comrades one after
the other relayed to give Schleck
a draft so he could conserve his
energyfor his maddashtothe fin-
ish.
I told the team yesterday that
I had this in mind. I wasnt going
to be fourth in Paris, Schleck
said. I saidIdrisk it all. ... Its my
character: Im not afraid to lose.
Schlecks older brother Frank
the other half of what has
billed as a two-pronged fraternal
duo was second, by 2:07 back.
Evans and Voeckler were close
behind, the Frenchmangritting it
out all the way to stay yellow.
I limited the damage, Voeck-
ler said. I went all out.
Overall, the elder Schleck is
third, 1:08 back, and has insisted
that any talk of sibling rivalry is
misplaced. Evans trails fourth, 4
seconds slower. The brothers,
Evans, and outsider Voeckler
havethemost realistic shot at vic-
tory.
Contador is nearly 5 minutes
back inseventh, making victory a
very tall order with just one more
day in the Alps before Saturdays
final time trial in Grenoble.
Andy Schleck came in know-
ingthat hedneedtogaintime be-
fore then: Time trials arent his
specialty; mountains are.

At a glance
LE MONETIER-LES-BAINS,
France A brief look at
Thursdays 18th stage of the
Tour de France:
Stage: Presented as the
hardest stage in this years
Tour, the 125-mile route from
Pinerolo, Italy, to the top of the
Col du Galibier certainly lived
up to its billing. The stage
covered three beyond
category climbs, the sports
hardest, finishing on top the
8,700-foot Col du Galibier, the
highest stage finish in Tour de
France history.
Winner: Luxembourg rider
Andy Schleck rode to a daring
victory, crossing the line 2
minutes, 7 seconds ahead of
his brother Frank after
launching a solo attack around
36 miles from the finish.
Schleck outwitted rivals with
the early attack on the second
of three grueling climbs and
held on all the way on the
fabled Galibier.
Yellow Jersey: Thomas
Voeckler of France remains in
yellow, barely. He dug deep on
the final climb to Galibier to
hang on to the yellow jersey,
but his lead shrank to 15
seconds over second-place
Andy Schleck and 1 minute, 12
seconds on third-place Cadel
Evans.
Wheres Alberto Contador?
Contador could not keep up the
pace with the leaders on the
Galibier climb, and he dropped
back to seventh place overall,
4:44 seconds behind Voeckler.
Quote of the Day: Victory is
now impossible. Alberto
Contador.
Friday: The 68-mile stage
takes riders back over the
Galibier pass and finishes on
the famed Alpe dHuez, an
8
1
2-mile series of 21
switchbacks with an average
gradient of 8 percent.
Picking up a book and an autograph
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
Sports writer and author Ian OConnor signs a copy of his book The Captain: The Journey of Derek Jeter for Phil
Bosha, of Wyoming, while chatting with the New York Yankee representative with the Scranton Wilkes-Barre Yankees
Jim Brozzetti Saturday at Barnes and Noble in Wilkes-Barre Township.
After a fielders choice by
Austin Deihm loaded the bases,
Dakota Snyder ripped a shot in-
to right field that Back Moun-
tains Kyle McAndrew dove for
and nearly caught before it
bounced out of his glove. That
hit allowed two runs to score
and then Blake Greenly took a
2-2 count and ripped one to the
fence in center field to bring in
another two runs.
That four-run inning put
Twin Valley on top and kept
them in the drivers seat the re-
mainder of the game.
"I think if we could have got-
ten in the dugout right there,
maybe it would have made a
little bit of a difference," Dog-
gett said. "Two outs, bases load-
ed, not an easy catch, but a
catchable ball. We probably
should have made that play and
were out of the inning (and) in
that dugout."
Twin Valleys pitching kept
Back Mountain silent through
four innings. Bender went 5 2-3
innings on the mound and
struck out eight batters while
giving up just two hits, both of
which came in the first inning.
Three times Back Mountain
faced a three up, three down
inning and failed to hit the ball.
While going 0-2 was not the
goal for Back Mountain, reac-
hing the Pennsylvania state
tournament is a feat in itself
and Doggetts more than proud
of his team.
"Its an accomplishment,"
Doggett said. "I am very proud
of these guys. They never gave
up, they never hung their
heads."

tired from the U.S. team dur-
ing last years World Cup,
and Jessica Mendoza, Cat Os-
terman and Natasha Watley
are among several former
Olympic gold medalists who
decided not to return to the
team this year.
A group of rookie Ameri-
cans still combined to win
the teams first international
game on U.S. soil this year.
Taylor put the United
States ahead to stay with her
two-run triple to deep right
field in the second inning.
May-Johnsons solo shot
bumped the lead to 6-2 after
the Czechs scored twice in
the top of the fourth. She al-
so singled twice.
With only three players
whod even been on the na-
tional team before, the U.S. is
going through a transition
period.
The sport has been drop-
ped from the Olympics for
both 2012 and 2016 and the
earliest it could return would
be 2020.
Many top stars retired after
the 2008 Games, and others
have stepped aside since
then or turned their atten-
tion to building the profes-
sional game. Without them,
the Americans lost three
times to top rival and 2008
gold medalist Japan this
month at the Canada Cup, in-
cluding in the championship
game.
Instead, the national team
is stocked with players who
are in college or just finished
it. Taylor was a part of three
Womens College World Se-
ries teams at Missouri, play-
ing her last college game on
the same field in Oklahoma
City less than two months
earlier.
Her former teammate,
Chelsea Thomas, got the
save after relieving Whitney
Canion (1-0) with two run-
ners on in the sixth. She got
a double-play grounder and
struck out cleanup hitter Eva
Rendlova to end the threat.
Kelly Grieve had a pair of
infield RBI singles, including
one when Taylor scored from
second in the sixth.
After being retired in order
the first time through the li-
neup, the Czech Republic got
to Canion for two runs in the
fourth.
Lucie Petraskova broke up
Canions no-hitter with a soft
line single to right, and Dina
Pfeiferova followed with an
infield single. Canion then
uncorked a high wild pitch to
allow both runners to ad-
vance.
Lenka Jaklova had an RBI
groundout, and cleanup hit-
ter Rendlova squeezed in the
second run.
The Czechs were routed by
Australia 11-0 earlier in the
day in a game stopped after
five innings because of the
mercy rule. Australia also
beat Great Britain 7-1 and Ja-
pan, last years runner-up,
beat Canada 9-6 in eight in-
nings.

GARDNER, Kan. High
school football coaches are al-
ways eager for fall practice to
start, and that rings especially
true in small towns all across the
Midwest, where every store clos-
es up and every light is turned off
except for thoseat thestadiumon
a Friday night.
Some coaches are even more
anxioustoget startedthisseason.
Record-setting temperatures
and stifling humidity have made
life miserable from Detroit to
Denver, Minneapolis to the Mex-
ican border. And that includes
causing headaches for coaches
and trainers who worry about the
health of their kids during infor-
mal workouts the last few weeks
before school starts.
We make a big emphasis that
ourkidsrealizetheyneedtocome
to practice hydrated, whether its
something were doing after
school orworkoutsinthesummer
months, saidMarvinDiener, the
veteran head coach of Gardner-
Edgerton High School in Gardn-
er, Kan.
The high temperature in the
small town a short drive south of
Kansas City on Thursday was101
degrees under a cloudless sky,
and humidity pushed the feels
like temperature to something
approaching that of a blast fur-
nace. Its supposed to be even
worse onFriday andSaturday.
Its Kansas in the summer,
Diener said almost with a shrug.
He should know, too, having tu-
tored numerous college stars and
winning more than 200 games at
several schools across the state.
You just have to be careful and
make sure kids knowwhat todo,
Diener said.
Thats because football has be-
comeayear-roundpursuitnotjust
for pro players and college ath-
letes, but also high school stu-
dents who are sometimes willing
togotoextremelengthstobesuc-
cessful.
In many cases, that means at-
tending a relentless schedule of
specialty camps like the one run
by former Chiefs offensive line-
manWill Shields.
Hes been working with ath-
letesat several schoolsintheKan-
sasCityareainrecentweeks, even
getting onto the field with them
despite the stifling weather.
Diener hosted a full-pad youth
camp for third through sixth
grade earlier this week, the start
of whichhedelayeduntil theearly
evening, when temperatures
were less brutal. He plans to fol-
lowa similar schedule when foot-
ball campofficiallyopens for high
school students in a couple of
weeks.
I think thats consistent with
most schools, Diener said. We
talk to our boys about a lot of
those things. And maybe the oth-
er thing we do that is different
from some of other schools is I
dontwantmyguysthirsty, worry-
ing about the heat. If our guys are
suffering, were going to stop.
That doesnt help when coach-
es arent around to tell kids when
to stop.
Informal workouts in the hot
summer months can be particu-
larly dangerous because of the
long-term effects that heat and
humidity can have on developing
bodies, said Dr. Kathleen Weber,
assistant professor of sports med-
icine at Rush University Medical
Center inChicago.
Just like the elderly, kids are
more prone to heat-related ill-
ness, said Weber, who works
with the White Sox and Bulls,
along with teenage athletes and
kids. In this really hot weather,
withthishighhumidity, theairva-
por level is so high that teenagers
often have a difficult time dissi-
pating the heat.
Weber said shes seen coaches
takeamoreproactiveapproachin
response to numerous heat-relat-
edmedical emergencies andin
some cases deaths at all levels
of sports.

Jim Irsay isnt worried about
Peyton Mannings health yet.
Hes just not entirelysurewhen
Manning will start throwing to
his teammates. The Colts owner
told reporters Thursday in Atlan-
ta he doesnt expect offseason
neck surgery to prevent Indiana-
polis franchise player from play-
ing at his usually high level.
My sense is that hes doing
well, Irsay said at the leagues
owner meetings. Weve been
through (his neck) surgery be-
fore. So I anticipate him being
ready.
Manningalsohadnecksurgery
in March 2010.
The comments come one day
after The Indianapolis Star re-
ported that Manning would not
bereadytoparticipateat thestart
of training camp. Irsay did not
elaborate on when Manning
would start practicing.
But there are indications Man-
nings recoveryfromMaysurgery
has not gone smoothly.
Archie Manning, the longtime
NFL quarterback and father of
the leagues first family, said in
early June that
his sons rehab
wasnt going as
quickly as ex-
pected. Two
weeks ago at
the familys an-
nual football
camp in Loui-
siana, Manning acknowledged
hes taken a cautious approach to
rehab because he was unable to
work with the Colts trainers dur-
ing the four-month lockout. Man-
ning also limited his throws to
short tosses at the camp.
Not surprisingly, that has led
to speculation he wont be ready
to practice when training camp is
scheduled to open Aug. 1. Players
are scheduled to report to Ander-
son University, about 40 miles
northeast of Indianapolis on July
31.
Even agent Tom Condon cant
say for sure when Manning will
be in uniform.
Everybody knows Peyton is
going through the rehab and Id
be way out of place commenting
on that, Condon said Wednes-
day.
Irsay, however, believes the
cornerstone of his franchise will
not only be ready for another big
season but will live up to the title
of highest-paid player in league
history.
Colts feel good
about Manning
Owner says hes not overly
concerned neck surgery will

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
As Plaxico Burress grabbed a mi-
crophone and started telling his
story Thursday afternoon to
about 100 children, some of the
kids were murmuring and chat-
tering among themselves.
And then he said gun.
The kids got quiet in a hurry.
This is what the former and,
he hopes, future NFL wide re-
ceiver has beendoing for the past
few weeks. Released from prison
last month after serving nearly
two years on a gun charge, Bur-
ress has vowed to use his failings
as fuel for others, pointingtohim-
self as the illustration that every-
thing can change in an instant.
I carried a loaded gun into a
nightclubandthe gunaccidental-
ly discharged and I ended up
shooting myself, my own self, in
the leg, Burress told the kids,
part of the Urban League of Bro-
ward County. I
was playing
professional
football at the
time. I had just
won a Super
Bowl. I had just
received a
brand-new con-
tract. I hadjust signeda shoe deal
with Nike. The choice that I
made, basically it took every-
thing away that I worked so hard
for.
Burress arrived about two
hours late to the event because of
scheduling conflicts, then chat-
ted and shook hands with the
kids for about 30 minutes. He re-
fusedtotalkabout his NFLfuture
with reporters Thursday, though
has said in recent radio inter-
views that hes eager for another
chanceintheNFL. Andhesmiled
when one child asked him if he
would consider playing for the

WALTON ON THE HILL,
England Mark Calcavecchia
defied the afternoon rain to
shoot a bogey-free 68 and take a
three-way share of the first-
round lead at the Senior British
Open on Thursday.
Bidding to become the fourth
player to win both the British
Open and the senior version,
the 51-year-old American had
two birdies on either side of the
turn before parring the final
five holes.
Calcavecchia, winner of the
British Open at Troon in 1989,
was joined on 4 under by Ire-
lands Mark McNulty and Aus-
tralias Mike Harwood, who
earlier benefited from still and
dry conditions on the parkland
course at Walton Heath that
hosted the 1981 Ryder Cup.
The weather moved in when
we were on No. 11 it wasnt
horrible but it made it tougher
for sure, said Calcavecchia,
one of three players not to drop
a shot in their first rounds. Not
making any bogeys was nice, so
it was a good score, a good
start.
South Africas David Frost
and Scotlands Albert MacKen-
zie were a shot behind, with
defending champion Bernhard
Langer of Germany one of
seven players who shot 70.
Americans Bob Tway, Mike
Goodes and Lee Rinker were
among those tied with Langer.
Tom Lehman and Mark
OMeara finished with 71s and
Corey Pavin was another stroke
back.
Three-time winner and eight-
time major champion Tom
Watson shot a 75, which in-
cluded a double bogey at No. 8
after finding the middle of the
fairway off the tee.
I wasted a lot of strokes on
the greens today. I made two
putts, thats about it, Watson
said.
After Gary Player and Bob
Charles, Watson is the other
player to have done the British
Open double.
Its a bit early to talk about
that, Calcavecchia said. Well
give it all we got and see where
were standing on Sunday com-
ing down the stretch. Hopefully
Im there with a chance.
Blanks shoots 67 to take lead
at Canadian Open
VANCOUVER, British Co-
lumbia American Kris
Blanks shot a 3-under 67 to take
a one-stroke lead after the first-
round at the Canadian Open on
Thursday.
Matt McQuillan was the best
of 17 Canadians with a 2-under
68, putting the 30-year-old PGA
Tour rookie in a tie with 11
players, including Ernie Els.
Rickie Fowler, Anthony Kim
and Lucas Glover playing
together in softer morning
conditions all shot 69 to
finish among another group of
nine players on a day when only
21 players were under par on
the tight tree-lined, 7,010-yard
Shaughnessy Golf and Country
Club.
G O L F
Calcavecchia shares lead at Senior British Open
The Associated Press
lief, even though the NFL Play-
ers Association had not passed
the resolution. Belusko owns
tickets to see several Dallas
Cowboys games this year, in-
cluding a home game in Texas.
I cant wait until its over, he
said.
Not all fans were positive after
the near-ending bitter squabble
between owners and players.
Some fans interest in the NFL
waned, pointing to greed and off-
field player issues.
As a hockey fan, I wouldnt
mind the NHL competing with
one less league during the fall
and winter, said JimMcCabe, of
Secane. Im a die-hard Philadel-
phia Eagles fan, but I wouldnt
be totally crushed if I lost a sea-
son.
The majority of football fans
sided with the players. The phys-
ical toll put on the players was
reason for McCabe to side with
the NFLPA.
The players kinda get treated
like parts that get thrown away
after they break down, said
McCabe. The fact is these guys
sacrifice being physically normal
for the rest of their lives to play a
few short seasons to entertain
the masses.
Although Ron Czerniakowski,
of Plains, was disappointed that
the lockout was about money
and greed the whole time, he
said that he will be coming back
to pro football in this fall, if the
lockout ends.
Czerniakowski attests that
most fans, if not more than be-
fore, will be found watching
games at Beer Boys on Sunday.
I dont think football will re-
gress, he said. People are going
to miss how much they miss
football.
The bars collective said they
look forward the lockout ending
soon so they wont miss any foot-
ball on Sundays.
Itd be awful, said Breese.
Itd be very boring. Id have
nothing to do.

The Wilkes mens basketball
team has announced the addi-
tion of Jourdon Wilson to the
squad for the 2011-12 season.
An incoming freshman point
guard from Mechanicsburg, Wil-
son was a three-year starter in
the backcourt at Cumberland
Valley High School.
Averaging 13 points and five
assists as a senior, the 6-foot
Wilson was a second-team all-
conference selection.
This young man is a com-
plete player and will make an
immediate impact on our
team, Wilkes coach Jerry Rick-
rode said in a school release.
He has a very high skill set,
outstanding basketball instincts,
and possesses a true love for the
game.
Selected as his teams MVP
twice, Wilson was also name the
2011 Cumberland Valley Out-
standing Senior.
Wilson joins Rodney Hill,
Cameron Hinkel and Michael
Sharpe as new members of the
squad for the upcoming season,
which tips off in November.

The Times Leader staff
open the training facilities begin-
ning on Saturday.
But the owners vote couldnt
save the Aug. 7 Hall of Fame
game, the first game lost to a
work stoppage since the 1987
players strike. Nowit remains to
be seen if others are canceled,
and whether players will show
up when the league opens its
doors on Saturday. Disagree-
ment among the players arose al-
most immediately after Good-
ells announcement.
In an email to player represen-
tatives for all 32 teams, NFLPA
executive director DeMaurice
Smith said the owners agree-
ment on supplemental revenue
sharing was not valid.
As you know, the owners
have ratified their proposal to
settle our differences, the email
said. As you may have heard,
they apparently approved a sup-
plemental revenue-sharing pro-
posal. Obviously, we have not
been a part of those discussions .
. . Issues that need to be collec-
tively bargained remain open.
Others, such as workers compen-
sation, economic issues and end-
of-deal terms, remain unresolv-
ed. There is no agreement be-
tween the NFL and the players at
this time.
An email from NFLPA attor-
ney Richard Berthelsen suggests
that the NFL may be violating
labor law by trying to force the
players to recertify as a union.
According to the owners
agreement, the NFLPAs execu-
tive committee would have to
recommend approval of the deal
by Saturday, and that players
would have to agree to recertify
as a union by Wednesday, when
the league year would begin. It is
highly uncertain whether the
NFLPAs executive committee
will approve the measure accord-
ing to the owners timeline.
Asked if the owners had a con-
tingency plan if the players did
not approve the deal, NFL lead
negotiator Jeffrey Pash said: We
believe and expect we will have a
fully approved and ratified agree-
ment on a timely basis. If some-
thing else happens, well have to
adjust our thinking.
Goodell was not available for
comment about Smiths email or
about players remarks decrying
what they saw as a power play to
force an agreement on them. Al-
though it appeared the sides had
agreed on most economic issues
for a new collective bargaining
agreement, the players still be-
lieve there are enough signifi-
cant issues unresolved to require
more bargaining.
Please dont get excited
about that press conference,
Redskins defensive end Vonnie
Holliday tweeted. The owners
have agreed on a deal we the
players have not seen! Its sad
that the owners played this card!
We want to get back to work &
have been trying to do so!
Goodell and Smith spoke for
more than an hour shortly before
the owners voted. Thirty-one
teams approved the agreement;
the Raiders abstained.
Asked about his message to
fans frustrated by the lockout,
Goodell said, I understand their
frustration. I hope they under-
stand were working hard to get
that agreement that is going to
secure the game for the future.
So I guess Id say to them, were
getting close to getting football
back, and thats what we want.
Thursdays events may have
been a false start, however.
Giants president and co-own-
er John Mara, a key member of
the leagues negotiating team,
had expressed optimism about
the future of the NFL shortly af-
ter the owners approved the
agreement. As part of the deal,
they voted in favor not only of a
new CBA, but of the elimination
of all pending legal action by
each side against the other.
This was a long, tough, tough
negotiation going back over
about three years now, Mara
said.
I cant say we got everything
we wanted to get out of this deal
and Im sure they would proba-
bly say the same thing. Usually
when that happens, it means its
a fair deal, and I firmly believe
that this is a fair deal. I think the
best thing about it is our fans
arent going to have to hear
about labor-management rela-
tions for another 10 years. Un-
fortunately for Mara, that respite
lasted barely 10 minutes.

McDonalds earnings
Customers abroad are loving
McDonalds. Analysts expect to
see foreign sales growth again
lead the way when the worlds
largest burger chain reports its
second-quarter results today.
The company is expanding over-
seas, and the weaker dollar
makes sales made abroad
higher when they are converted
back to dollars. Revenue for
McDonalds European restau-
rants rose 19 percent in May
from a year earlier, for example.
Caterpillar earnings
The worlds strongest eco-
nomic growth is coming from
developing countries, which
are building roads, digging for
copper and constructing
homes. Thats a boon for Cat-
erpillar, the worlds largest
maker of construction and
mining equipment. Strong
overseas demand means
financial analysts expect Cat-
erpillar to report a 60 percent
jump in second-quarter earn-

Europe news boosts stocks
News that European leaders are
drawing up a new rescue plan for
Greece is driving stock indexes higher.
European officials say theyll give
Greece a new package of rescue loans.
They also plan to lower interest rates

Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

Pa. jobless rate rises
Pennsylvanias seasonally adjusted
unemployment rate was 7.6 percent in
June, up from 7.4 percent in May but
1.1 percentage points lower than in
June 2010, the Department of Labor &
Industry announced Thursday. The
U.S. jobless rate in June was 9.2 per-
cent.
The states seasonally adjusted civil-
ian labor force the number of people
working or looking for work was
down 17,000 in June to 6,327,000.
Resident employment fell by 25,000
while the number of unemployed resi-
dents was up 8,000. The labor force
was 12,000 below its June 2010 level.
Airlines will trade gates
The Transportation Department says
it will allow Delta Air Lines Inc. and
US Airways to trade landing rights in
New York and Washington as long
as they sell some of the rights to other
airlines.
The airline proposal calls for Delta to
give US Airways 42 pairs of takeoff and
landing rights at Reagan along with
cash in exchange for Delta getting 132
slot pairs at LaGuardia. The end result
would be a much larger Delta presence
at LaGuardia, and a larger US Airways
Group Inc. presence in Washington.
Wal-Mart will share data
The worlds largest retailer, Wal-Mart
Stores Inc., has agreed to resume shar-
ing consumer data with a major market
research firm, a move that could help
other retailers, as well as manufactur-
ers, better understand how Americans
shop and could influence what appears
on store shelves.
Wal-Mart is considered the single
most important bellwether of consum-
er spending because it accounts for
nearly 10 percent of all nonautomotive
retail dollars spent in the U.S.
Dickson City Borders sale

WALL STREET
WASHINGTON The economys
spring slump appears to be extending
into the summer, according to a slew
of mixed data released Thursday.
Layoffs are rising. Manufacturing
activity in the Northeast expanded on-
ly slightly in July after contracting in
June. Economic growth is projected to
pick up this fall, but not enough to
give businesses confidence to hire and
speed the recovery.
The economy could lapse even fur-
ther if Congress and the Obama ad-
ministration fail to reach agreement
on raising the nations borrowing limit
in the coming week.
For the moment, traders on Wall
Street dont seem worried. Stocks
soared Thursday on news that Eu-
ropean governments were moving to-
ward agreement on an aid package for
Greece.
Economists are less optimistic.
They are forecasting a third straight
month of feeble hiring in July, based
on the latest round of data. Expecta-
tions are the economy added some-
where in the range of 50,000 to
100,000 net new jobs this month.
Thats not enough to keep up with
population growth and far below what
is needed to lower the unemployment
rate, which was 9.2 percent last
month.
Applications for unemployment
benefits rose last week by to a season-
ally adjusted 418,000, the Labor De-
partment said. They have now topped
400,000 for 15 straight weeks.
The Philadelphia Federal Reserve
Bank said its manufacturing index
rose to 3.2 in July, a sign that the sec-
tor is growing again. It had contracted
in June for the first time in nine
months when the index dropped to
negative 7.7, the lowest level in two
years. Any figure below zero indicates
contraction.
The Conference Board also project-
ed modest growth for the broader
economy in the coming months based
on its latest reading of its leading eco-
nomic indicators. The index rose in
June for the second straight month. It
had declined in April, the first time
that had happened in nearly a year.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Ber-
nanke and other economist have
largely attributed the slumping econo-
my to temporary factors.
But Bernanke has acknowledged
that some troubles, such as depressed
housing markets and tight credit, are
more long-lasting.
Spring slump could last through summer
By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
AP Economics Writer
The economy could lapse even
further if Congress and the
Obama administration fail to
reach agreement on raising
the nations borrowing limit in
the coming week.
WASHINGTON The U.S. govern-
ment no longer owns a piece of Chrys-
ler.
Italian automaker Fiat SpA paid
$560 million for the governments re-
maining 98,000 shares of Chrysler
Group LLC, the U.S. Treasury Depart-
ment said Thursday. Fiat has run the
company since it emerged from bank-
ruptcy protection in 2009.
U.S. taxpayers gave $12.5 billion to
Chrysler and its financing arm after
the recession hampered auto sales and
brought Chrysler and General Motors
Co. to the brink of collapse. The funds
came from the governments $700 bil-
lion bank bailout fund.
Of the original Chrysler bailout,
$11.2 billion has been repaid. The U.S.
Treasury Department says it likely
wont recover the remaining $1.3 bil-
lion.
Under a bankruptcy deal, Fiat re-
ceived a 20 percent stake in Chrysler
for taking over management of the De-
troit carmaker.
The Italian automaker has gradually
raised its stake in Chrysler, and Thurs-
days purchase of the last U.S. shares,
along with a small stake held by Cana-
da, means Fiat owns 53.5 percent.

PLAINS TWP. Geisinger Wyoming
Valley Medical Center on Thursday un-
veiled its new$1.8 million endovascular
suite, the first and only facility of its
kind in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The area in the Richard and Marion
Pearsall Heart Hospital combines tech-
nologies found in a cardiac catheteriza-
tion laboratory and those of a tradition-
al cardiac operating room, allowing the
medical staff to explore a patients vas-
cular system using minimally invasive
techniques during or immediately be-
fore surgery. The roomis staffed by two
operating room staff members and two
cardiac catheterization lab workers,
plus a surgeon and an anesthetist.
As lead cardiac catheterization lab
nurse Angela Naperkowski explained,
nurses can inject dye into a patients cir-
culatory system via a catheter and use
imaging equipment to identify blockag-
es.
If (a surgeon) would feel that the pa-
tient needs surgery, they can go ahead
and do that, she said. The staff is
ready. They have the capacity to go
right in.
Hospital administrators described
the operating suite as being on the cut-
ting edge of medical technology.
There is not one thing that will be
done in this room that can be done bet-
ter anywhere else, said Dr. David Fran-
klin, chairman of surgery for the Geis-
inger Health Care System.
Its tangible evidence of the high lev-
el of commitment Geisinger has to the
vascular care of our patients here, said
Dr. David Mariner, director of vascular
and endovascular surgery at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley. The strokes we pre-
vent, andthelimbs that wesave, andthe
aneurisms that we fix and the lives that
we save will be the measure of that com-
mitment.
Administrators said the addition of
the facility, which has been in use since
March, is part of a larger shift inthe hos-
pitals role from community hospital to
regional referral center. The Pearsall
Heart Hospital first opened in 2001.

Gold has crossed another milestone this time,
$1,600 an ounce as investors looking for big returns
keep buying it. Theyve sent gold up 12 percent this
year. It settled at $1,587 Thursday, after trading as
high as $1,605 in the morning.
Gold is also seen as a safe investment, and inves-
tors are worried about debt problems on both sides of
the Atlantic. But gold can also be volatile, and its next
move could be down, says Jon Nadler, an analyst with
Kitco Metals.
Much of the demand for gold is from speculators.
They might abandon it if two things happen: Congress
and President Obama make a deal to raise the U.S.
borrowing limit before an Aug. 2 deadline, and
Europes debt problems show more signs of easing.
On Thursday, European officials and the International
Monetary Fund agreed on a bailout for Greece. But
countries like Spain and Italy are still struggling.
Still, gold can be tempting. Financial analysts say
these are the best ways to invest:
Still golden
Gold miners
Tom Winmill, portfolio
manager of the gold-focused
Midas fund, says mining
stocks are cheap. Newmont
Mining (NEM) trades at 13
times its expected earnings
per share over the next year.
Thats below its five-year
average of 20 times and close
to the S&P 500s 12 times.
ETFs
Exchange-traded funds trade
like stocks and are a way for
investors to own gold without
having to store bars or coins.
SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) is
the biggest gold ETF, with $64
billion in assets. When it issues
shares to meet investor
demand, it buys more gold. The
value of each share rises and
falls with golds price.

Today will once
again be one of
the hottest days
we see this sum-
mer and make
for three straight
days of 90
degrees, which
classies this as
being a true
heat wave.
They tend to be
self sustaining
when a slow
moving a dome
of high pressure
extending
upwards to
25,000 feet
warms the air
aloft to prevent
clouds from
forming. Day by
day the soil gets
drier which
allows the low
level air to get
hotter, and so
the heat wave
intensies. We
will likely see
four straight 90
degree days this
week as read-
ings on Sunday
may stay only in
the 80s. There
may be a thun-
derstormthis
weekend along
with a heavy
consumption of
ice cream.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Strong to severe thunderstorms will affect areas near a frontal boundary
draped from the northern Plains into the Midwest today. Expect scattered thunderstorms across the
Southeast and parts of the Desert Southwest, as well. Scorching, near-record heat will be the rule up
and down the Eastern Seaboard, while temporary relief comes to the Great Lakes.
Recorded at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Intl Airport
