Speaking to an overflow crowd in the Electric City’s Courthouse Square, Biden didn’t talk about politics or policy. Instead, he chose to talk about Scranton, the Lackawanna County city where he spent his first 10 years in the Green Ridge section. At his side were his son, Beau, the attorney general of Delaware, andhis sister, Vale- rie Biden Owens. U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, a native son of Scranton who still resides here, also appeared with Bi- den. But you wouldn’t know that BidenandCasey are running for re-election in No- vember. Still four months away from the Nov. 6 general election, Pennsylvania, like it was in2008, is becoming a fo- cal point for the presidential race. President Barack Oba- ma will be in western Penn- sylvania Friday and Saturday, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the pre- sumptive Republican candidate, will be in the state today. But Tuesday night was about family, friends and re- membering roots. The crowd was waiting to hear the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic and then watch the spectacular fireworks display. Blankets and folding chairs were prime V.P. gets hometown welcome Joe Biden comes to pay a pre-holiday visit to his native Scranton. PETE G.

See BIDEN, Page 7A By BILL O’BOYLE [email protected] WILKES-BARRE – The state Depart- ment of Environmental Protection intends to cite the city for failing to keep accurate records relating to gasoline and diesel usage at its fuel tanks, department spokeswo- man Colleen Connolly said Tuesday. The notice of violation, expected to be filed Thursday, is based on an investigation DEP conducted after a Times Leader story revealed the city could not account for nearly 18,000 gallons of fuel dispensed from its tanks on North Pennsylvania Ave- nue in the past seven months. Connolly said DEP inspected the tanks Monday and determined there was no leakage into the environment. The unaccounted for fuel – about 30 percent of the total fuel dispensed – was most likely the result of poor record keeping, which is a violation of the underground storage tank compliance program, she said. “We found horrible recording keeping,” Connol- ly said. “We are telling the city of Wilkes- Barre: Start keeping records, you’re not in compliance with the storage act.” City officials on Friday acknowledged they could not explain discrepancies a reporter discovered between the amount of fuel reported on log sheets by employees and a computer-generated report that shows how much fuel was dispensed from the tanks between Dec. 1, 2011 and June 22. The Times Leader’s review showed a difference of 10,260 gallons of gasoline and 7,620 gallons of diesel fuel. Connolly said DEP has not yet determined if it will fine the city for the records- keeping violation. That decision will depend on how well the city responds to the problems that were uncovered, she said. “We will give them a time frame. They will have to prove to us they are taking steps to correct the problems,” she said. Drew McLaughlin, the city’s administrative coordinator, said the city already has taken steps to address the issues. McLaughlin said officials met with department heads Monday and stressed the importance that employees accurately fill out the logs. Any employee who fails to do so will be subject do disciplinary action. McLaughlin said city has also ended its DEP will cite W-B over fuel Times Leader sparked probe By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER [email protected] Leighton on Friday acknowledged he had failed to fill out logs indicating how much fuel he took.

It was the place he created: a small town where all foibles are forgiven and friend- ships are forever, full of characters who felt like family. Mayberry, a fictional North Carolina village said to be model- edonGriffith’s ownhometownof Mount Airy, was so beloved that it practically became a synonym for any community that was too innocent andtrustingfor real life. After all, Griffith’s Mayberry was a place where the sheriff didn’t carry a gun, the local drunk lockedhimself injail andeventhe villains whopassedthroughwere changed by their stay. On “The Andy Griffith Show,” he created an endearing portrait of a place where fewpeople grew up but many wished they did. Griffith died Tuesday at 86 at his North Carolina home. CNN was reporting Tuesday night that he was buried hours after his death. On his signature show, he played a sage widower named Andy Taylor who offered gentle guidance to son Opie, played by little Ron Howard, who grew up to become an Oscar-winning director. “What made ‘The Andy Grif- fith Show’ work was Andy Grif- fith himself — the fact that he was of this dirt andhadsuchdeep respect for the people and places Andy Griffith, June 1, 1926-July 3, 2012 Goodbye to Mayberry By MARTHA WAGGONER Associated Press AP FILE PHOTO Andy Griffith, seen here in 1987, died Tuesday at age 86.

A review of the Coroner’s Of- fice 2012 budget shows that through June 30, $20,700 has been spent for forensic examinations, or 59 percent of $35,069 allocated, and $8,732 for toxicology tests, or 67 percent of $13,000. The two procedures are necessary to determine the cause and manner of deaths. Autopsies and toxicology tests are separate line items in the coroner’s $329,026 budget for 2012, which was slashed by $136,510 when county council amended the county spending package in February. According to the treasurer’s office, the coroner’s office has spent $152,402 since the first of the year, leaving a balance of $176,624.

HARRISBURG – No players matched all five winning numbers drawn in Tuesday’s “Pennsylvania Cash 5” game, so the jackpot will be worth $325,000. Lottery officials said 70 players matched four numbers and won $252.50 each; 3,087 players matched three numbers and won $9.50 each; and 35,537 players matched two numbers and won $1 each. Thursday’s “Pennsylvania Match 6 Lotto” jackpot will be worth at least $1.7 million because no player holds a ticket with one row that matches all six winning numbers drawn in Monday’s game.

According to action taken by council, Corbett or Cawley may arrive at the time of a major project toraze14flood-damaged dwellings in the area of Canal Street and Susquehanna Avenue. Acting upon the recommendations of engineer GregSupey and solicitor Jeff Malak, council officially accepted the bid of Stell Enterprises of Plains Township to demolish these properties. Stell’s bid was $131,824. Thevotewas 3-0with three of five council members, JimWido, Noss andKevinMor- ris, in attendance. Supey said a review period must be conducted before Stell canbeginand, inaddition, Stell must provide notice 10 days in advance of starting the project. Based upon these requirements, Stell won’t begin work until late July or early August. Borough Secretary/Treasur- er Melissa Weber said the 14 dwellings were actually damaged in the flood of 2006 and are part of a previously filed Hazard Mitigation Grant Pro- gram that was pending before Federal Emergency Manage- ment Agency andPennsylvania Emergency Management Agency. She said the Luzerne County Assessor’s Office has estimated that overall the borough will lose 40 percent of its tax base because of flooding of the past several years, the most severe of which was in the au- tumn of 2011. Weber said another 31 properties inthis sameCanal Street- Susquehanna Avenue-East UnionStreet floodzone may be lost througha 2011hazardmiti- gation program currently being considered by FEMA and PEMA.

A Democrat from Greene County, DeWeese, 62, was recentlytransferred from the State Correctional Institu- tion, Camp Hill, a processing center for newinmates, to SCI, Retreat in the Hunlock Creek section of the township. DeWeese was convicted in April of felony counts of conspiracy, conflict of interest and three counts of theft, and acquitted of one other theft count. Dauphin County Judge Todd Hoov- er sentenced DeWeese to 2 1/2 to 5 years in prison, fined him$25,000 and ordered him to pay nearly $117,000 in restitution, saying he was convinced that DeWeese usedhis positionto per- suade or force legislative employees to performillegal campaign work and that he intentionally misused public resources for political purposes. DeWeese’s lawyer, Bill Costopou- los, vowed to appeal and said De- Weese’s political campaign remained on track. DeWeese served in the House for 35 years, including two years as speaker. He was unopposed for the Demo- cratic nomination in his district and remains onthe Nov. 6general-election ballot.

Attorney David Lampman, in a letter delivered to President Judge Thomas Burke on Monday, resigned his position as a conflict counsel attorney Conflict lawyers are taxpayer- funded private attorneys who are court-appointed to handle criminal cases when the Public Defender’s Office has a conflict of interest in representing a defendant. Lampman asked that a new attorney be reassigned to his 25 cases, including Selenski’s. Selenski, 38, faces the death penalty if convicted in the killing of Tam- my Fassett and Michael Kerkowski, both 37. Investigators allege Selenski killed Fassett and Kerkowski on May 3, 2002. Burke and Judge Fred Pie- rantoni late last week denied a motion to resign conflict counsel cases relating to Selenski’s case. It is unknown if that ruling affects Lampman’s recent request. PLAINS TWP. -- Michael Kostel- nick, 19, of Plains Township, pleaded guilty to harassment during a preliminary hearing before District Judge Diana Malast on Tuesday. Township police accused Kostel- nick of harassing a family member on Henry Street on June 26, according to the criminal complaint. Charges of simple assault and underage drinking were withdrawn against Kostelnick. COURT BRIEFS DALLAS TWP. – Supervisors discussed issues relating to natural gas development within the township at a work session Tuesday evening. The supervisors announced ambient sound testing was conducting by Vibra- Tech to determine a baseline sound level for three different locations before the installation of two metering stations and pipeline construction near Hildebrandt Road. Supervisor Bill Grant said it was done at residents’ requests. Sound levels were tested at Fairground Road, the Evangelical Free Church on Hil- debrandt Road and at the site of the Tran- sco pipeline near those locations. Sound levels were tested six times during a 24-hour period in May and were determined to be in normal ranges. Grant said he’s unsure what the consequences will be if pipeline and metering station activities cause the sound levels to increase. Metering stations will be built by Wil- liams Field Services LLC and PVR Part- ners, formerly Chief Gathering LLC, to correspond with their pipeline projects in the township. Parts of the Transco interstate pipeline, into which the aforemen- tioned pipelines will connect, will be replaced this summer. Supervisors also announced that the state Department of Environmental Pro- tection notified the township that PVR Partners, formerlyChief Gathering, has filed for an erosion and sediment control general permit for its Wyoming County pipeline project.. The township has 30 days to comment on the project. Goodleigh Road resident Jeff Dickson said there are issues with dust and debris from vehicles traveling on the road due to pipeline construction activity. Supervisor FrankWagner saidhe travels that road often and doesn’t believe there is a concerningamount of debris ontheroad. Grant asked Wagner to check the road a few times daily to determine whether the supervisors should take action. In another matter, the supervisors are looking for a representative to the Dallas Area Municipal Authority board for a five- year termtobeginonJan. 1, 2013. Interest- ed residents should send a letter and a resume to the township office before July17. Roadmaster Martin Barry discussed several paving and infrastructure projects needed to be completed this year that he estimates will cost about $165,000. Grant said there is about $204,000 in the budget for road improvements, and he said extra funds canbe pulledfromthe snowremoval budget if needed, depending on if the winter is mild. Those street projects include work on Glendolaugh Road, Second Street, King- swood Drive, Westminster Drive, Kimber- ly Drive and Reservoir Road. The supervisors also discussed getting legal help with cable franchise renewal, re- leasing the Dallas School District of its construction surety bond for the newhigh school, finalizing the township employee handbook and adopting a fireworks ordinance for next year. The next supervisors meeting will be at 7:30p.m. July17inthemunicipal building. A hearing will be at 7 p.m. about changes in the township floodplain ordinance. D A L L A S T O W N S H I P Supervisors discuss gas project issues By SARAH HITE [email protected] praised Boyle’s work with other towns in the area. Dellegrotto also advocated for the formation of an Exeter- based citizen’s input commit- tee. The goal of establishing such a body would be to har- ness local talent, such as certified public accountants, to have quality municipal work done for little or no cost. In response to a question from resident Mary Pat Cole- man, council President Denise Adams said there have been no official meetings with municipal department heads toidenti- fy areas for potential cost-savings. Although there have been no meetings, council members Pi- zano and John Morgan pointed out that some departments have voluntarily made cuts. The street department’s current level of operations has been described as “bare bones.” Morgan said the department is working with fewer workers than ever before. Pizano commended the police department, noting that veteran officers, who would be entitled to greater overtime wages, have refrained from requesting overtime and holiday shifts, saving the borough on payroll expenses. In other business, the bor- oughlearnedJoeJoyceof Joyce Insurance that its insurance premium for the upcoming year will be $203,000. While that is an increase of several thousand dollars, Joyce point- edout that it is actually$10,000 less than a quote prepared by the state. EXETER – Although no spe- cific economic measures were enacted or discussed in detail during Tuesday night’s regular borough council meeting, the anticipated budgetary shortfalls were on the minds of residents and council members alike. According to a document comparing the borough’s bud- geted income and expenses versus its latest figures andpro- jections, provided by council member Joseph Esposito, Exe- ter’s net 2012 income will likely come up well short of what was projected in the 2012 budget. Borough Secretary Debra Serbin said that while the borough will be able to cover payroll expenses, it won’t likely be able to pay all of its upcoming bills. Council member Larry Del- legrotto pointed to the upcoming July 31 borough council work session as an extremely important meeting in terms of developing ongoing plans to deal with the problems the town is facing. Dellegrotto said Joe Boyle of the Pennsylvania Economy League will be in attendance at the work session, and it is hoped that he will be able to provide suggestions and evidence that will eventually lead to ideas for long-term savings. The league is a body that aids municipalities in dealing with budgetary crises and hardships. Council member Jo- seph Pizano spoke highly of his interactions with Boyle and Exeter anticipating shortfalls in its budget By B.

Salavantis The National Flood Insur- ance Program will place West Pittston on probation if the borough does not take action to bring residences with flood insurance into compliance with federal regulations. The borough and residents in the flood zone were issued warning this week in a letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has given the borough 90 days to work towards compliance. Insured homes will face a $50 penalty premium upon policy renewal if the probationary status takes effect Oct. 1, and failure to comply could result in more consequences, the letter warns. Borough Code Enforcement and Zoning Officer Dominic Pepe said FEMA’s action stems from the failure of residents to obtain permits for flood repairs and to repair their homes in a manner that will mitigate future flood damages. “It’s all about compliance,” Pepe said. “FEMA comes over here, they know how many houses were in the flood and they know how many permits we have. That’s howthey’re pol- icing it.” Jeff Remas’ company, Ad- vanced Code Group, performed contracted permitting and inspection work for the borough from before the flood until March 2, when his contract ex- pired and was not renewed. Remas, a West Pittston resident, said184of theroughly800 West Pittston properties in the flood zone asked the borough’s permission to perform work on their homes, andthat morethan half of those properties were located outside the FEMA-designated high-risk flood zone. ‘Disregard’ for regulations “There’s just a complete and total lack and disregard for the requirements,” Remas said. “It literally turned into an argu- ment with some of the people.” Pepe and Remas said many West Pittston residents made repairs under the mistaken im- pression that permits were not required to perform flood repairs or that the borough had waived permits in the wake of the flood, a misperception fueled by state Rep. Phyllis Mundy’s discovery in October that the borough’s building ordinance was not in compliance with state law. The borough did waive all permit fees except those paid for Remas’ services. While the compliance problemwas quickly corrected, many residents walked away thinking they didn’t need permits, Remas said. W.

He died in February, the medal still missing. But “before he passed away,” Miller Stella Jr. said, “I made a promise to him to get his medals back, to be passed on to his grandchildren.” On Tuesday he fulfilled that vow. “He served in the Pacific and was involved in three major invasions,” Stella Jr., a Rice Township supervisor said shortly before accepting the medal during a ceremony at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, presented six veterans with medals that were either overdue or had been lost. Stella Jr. said his mother and father met in the Army – she was in the Wom- an’s Army Corps, or WAC–at Fort Pick- ett in Virginia. Within eight days they were married and Stella Sr. was off to war. By the time he came back a deco- rated hero, he had a daughter. “True story,” Stella Jr. said, smiling.

On Tuesday Lu- zerne County Judge David Lupas ruled Ro- nald Molnar, 40, of Jo- seph Lane, may remain out of jail for his surgery in July but must report to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility on Aug. 30. He then will be transferred to a state prison. Lupas sentenced Molnar last week after Molnar pleaded guilty to trafficking offenses. Molnar, who had been injured in a motorcycle accident, is wheel-chair bound and has received several surger- ies since. Lupas said Tuesday he was “taken aback” when Molnar asked to remain free on bail until possibly November to complete rehabilitation. Lupas said he is confident the Depart- ment of Corrections can provide for his medical needs. Prosecutors say Molnar participated in the drug ring operated by members of the Outlaws Motorcycle Club, which distributed cocaine throughout the area beginning in July 2008. Doherty has previously said Molnar made hundreds of calls from his house and cell phone about the purchase and delivery of cocaine. More than a dozen Outlaws members were charges with distributing hundreds of packages of cocaine. Doherty also said Molnar sold cocaine to a police informant on a number of occasions. Other members of the Outlaws have pleaded guilty to related charges, and all have been sentenced. Molnar also received 67 days credit for time already served in prison on Tuesday.

The audit, a follow up to an investigation into billing practices of attorney Angela Ste- vens, was vehemently contest- ed by several of the attorneys, who maintain Griffith has no basis to support his recommendations. The audit reviewed billings made by 11 attorneys who, along with Stevens, were as- signed to represent parents whose children were in the custody of Children and Youth Ser- vices in 2011. The reviewwas prompted by a separate audit conducted by a private firm that determined Stevens had double billed the county nearly $60,000, most of which was related to the delivery of fee petitions to the county courthouse. Griffith was in- vestigating whether other attorneys had engaged in im- proper billing practices. Griffith determined that seven of the 11 attorneys, including District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis and Laureen Yeager- Pierce, an assistant county solicitor, may have been overpaid for time spent preparing their bills. Salavantis and Yeager- Pierce represented the clients before becoming county employees. The audit questions $19,002 paid to Yeager-Pierce and $742 to paid to Salavantis, as well as $2,794 to Jamie Brown, $3,465 to Edward McNelis, $795 to Paul Delaney and $385 to De- bra Bolus-Grosek. Written responses submitted In written responses included with the audit, Salavantis and four other attorneys ques- tioned Griffith’s analysis. Griffithbasedhis recommendations on an audit of Stevens’ bills conducted by Forensic Resolutions Inc. that Stevens commissioned after a Times Leader investigation revealed she had double billed the county for delivering some fee petitions. Griffith recommends the county seek reimbursement from the attorneys for any type of charge that was disallowed to Stevens by the Forensic Res- olutions audit. The county audit, conducted by employees within the Controller’s Office, appears to misstate the circum- stances under which the Foren- sic Resolutions audit disallowed charges, however. That audit noted the county did not preclude Stevens and other attorneys from charging for the time they spent preparing their bills. It excluded only instances in which Stevens had submitted a duplicate bill. The county’s audit recommends the county seek reimbursement for all time that was charged for bill preparation, even in cases in which there was no evidence of duplicate charges. In a written response to the audit, Salavantis said she does not believe the Forensic Reso- lutions audit should have any Controller advises county seek $27,000 from 7 attorneys By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER [email protected] See AUDIT, Page 7A C M Y K PAGE 4A WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 2012 THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com ➛ N E W S 7 5 6 2 2 0 We make BLONDES BLING, BRUNETTES BOLD and REDS RADIANT!

Carlos Antonio Rios, 19, of Par- sonage Street, will face an Octo- ber trial on charges including simple assault and criminal conspiracy to commit robbery after police say he participated in the beating and robbery of a man delivering Chinese food in June 2011. Rios will stand trial in Decem- ber on four charges of statutory sexual assault and an unrelated criminal trespassing case. Police say Rios had sexual encounters with four teenage girls over a number of months. Rios was initially scheduled to enter a guilty plea to a number of the charges. When he didn’t, Judge Fred Pierantoni scheduled the trial dates. A hearing on a request to reduce Rios’ bail is scheduled for Aug. 2, Pierantoni said. He is being held at the county prison for lack of $1.2 million bail in the assault cases and $10,000 on the robbery charge. According to court papers, Rios was charged in February after they learnedhe allegedly gave three teens the same promise ring only to have it returned when the girls found out he was cheating on them. Police allege Rios pressured a 13-year-oldgirl intohavingsexin- side a Riverview Manor apartment in late December. She said he slapped her, called her names and threatened to kill her if she told anyone. Rios told police he only lec- turedthe13-year-oldandtwooth- er female juveniles about sex. He believed the girl was 17 years old, he said. During the investigation in- volving the 13-year-old, police learned Rios dated and had sexual encounters with a 14-year-old girl in June 2011and a15-year-old girl and 14-year-old girl in No- vember and December. In the robbery case, police said Rios and two other men conspired to rob and assault a man delivering Chinese food on Lyons Lane in Pittston in June 2011. Police said the three men placed a pellet gun to the man’s throat and struck himin the head while demanding money. Brad Huzzard, of Taylor, was sentenced to 15 to 30 months in state prisonfor his role inthe robbery, while Ronald Perschau, of Pittston, was sentenced to 4 ½to 9 years in state prison. In the trespassing case, police said that on Feb. 19 Rios was at a Winter Street, Pittston, home, where police said he had been arrested before for trespassing. Pittston man facing two separate trials By SHEENA DELAZIO [email protected] WILKES-BARRE – A Hazle- ton man charged with burglar- izing a city home in December 2011 and making unauthorized purchases with another man’s bank card in January was sentenced Tuesday to eight to 16 months in county prison. Brian Tulanowski, 38, of Man- hattan Court, was sentenced by Judge David Lupas on charges of access device fraud, burglary and theft. Tulanowski pleaded guilty to the charges Tuesday. Lupas said Tulanowski must also serve one year on probation, and gave him approximately six months credit for time already served. Tulanowski must pay restitution to the victims. PLAINS TWP. – Township police withdrew child rape charges against David Davis Jr., 19, during a preliminary hearing before District Judge Diana Malast on Tuesday. Davis waived a single count of unlawful contact with a minor and charges of dissemination of sexual materials to a minor and corruption of minors to Luzerne County Court. Police withdrew charges of rape of a child, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, corruption of minors and child pornography against Davis. Davis was initially charged by police on June 26 with texting a nude picture of a male organ to a 12-year-old girl. Police on June 27 charged Davis with sexually assaulting the girl in woods near the Leo Solomon School Com- plex on June 6, according to the criminal complaints. KINGSTON – A man charged by state police Bureau of Crimi- nal Investigations with bookmaking waived his right to a preliminary hearing before Dis- trict Judge Paul Roberts on Tuesday. Joseph M. Sisky III, 43, of Valley View Drive, Pringle, waived charges of gambling and engaging in pool selling and bookmaking to Luzerne County Court. State police allege Sisky accepted bets for national and college football games using a website from September 2010 to October 2010. Sisky accepted the bets from an auto body garage on Main Street in Ed- wardsville, according to the criminal complaint. WILKES-BARRE – A man accused by city police of stealing a hand-held video game system and selling it at a pawn shop waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on Tuesday. John Mosier Jr., 24, of Wilkes- Barre, waived charges of theft and receiving stolen property to Luzerne County Court. Police allege Mosier stole a hand-held video game from a residence on Midland Court and sold it at a pawn shop on South Main Street on June 21. POLICE BLOTTER Wyoming Valley emergency physicians attribute many fireworks-related injuries to care- lessness and an over indul- gence in Fourth of July festivi- ties. “I usually see males in their 20s. There’s also a male association with alcohol,” Dr. Gary Bonfante, of Hazleton General Hospital, said Tuesday. Young men between their late teens and early 30s even in- vent contests to see who can hold a quarter stick the longest before throwing it, Dr. Russell James of Wilkes-Barre General Hospital added. Items such as quarter sticks areillegal inthestate, but Penn- sylvania law permits certain novelty fireworks such as sparklers and noise makers, but even they pose a risk of injury if used improperly. The U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission said children and young adults under the age of 20 constitute 36 percent of the fireworks-related injuries. “Parents think sparklers are OK, but they can get hot enough to melt metal. That can lead to serious injuries and burn wounds,” Bonfante said. About 900 injuries were associated with firecrackers nation- wide in2010, withanestimated 1,200 associated with the sparklers that can reach up to 2,000 degrees. Local and state data were not available. “Usually it’s a momentary lapse in reasoning,” said Geis- inger ER physician Dr. Keith Vrabec. He said distractions while handling fireworks often lead to injuries. “Utter stupidity,” is another reasonVrabec gave. “We always get one of these a year, it has to be one of the oddest situa- tions,” he said. For example, he said a person will simultane- ouslyholda fireworkanda cigarette and mistakenly throw the cigarette, resulting in serious injury. “You damage the hand, I don’t care who the surgeon is, they’re going to do the best they can, but it’s not going to be the same,” said Vrabec. James saidhe hada fireworks injury result in death about eight years ago when a man looked into the tube of a de- layed Roman candle and it ex- ploded in his face Victims can have a recovery time of six months to a year for severe injuries, and even permanent loss of vision as a result of injuries due to the misuse of fireworks, doctors said. In addition, “there can be a significant amount of monetary loss due to medical bills, lost time fromwork, child care, and physical therapy, all for not be- ingcautious enough," saidBon- fante. Doctors warn of 4th dangers DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER Fireworks fill the sky Tuesday over Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs as the racetrack celebrated Independence Day a little early in conjunction with the first night of Pennsylvania All-Stars racing. Keeping it safe By SHANTELLE JOHNSON and NODYIA FEDRICK Times Leader Interns • Caretakers should always closely supervise teens if they are using fireworks. • Caretakers should not allow young children to handle or use fireworks. • Fireworks should only be used outdoors. • Always have water ready if you are shooting fireworks. • Know your fireworks; read the caution label before igniting. • Obey local laws. If fireworks are not legal where you live, do not use them. • Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. • Wear safety glasses whenever using fireworks. • Never relight a “dud” firework. Wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water. • Soak spent fireworks with water before placing them in an outdoor garbage can. • Avoid using homemade fireworks or illegal explosives. • Report illegal explosives, like M-80s and quarter sticks, to the fire or police department.

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER Family and friends came out Tuesday to the local VA Medical Center to support six men who received medals for service. MEDALS Continued from Page 3A In the rush to restore power andheat to their homes many al- sofailedtotake requiredsteps to mitigate future damage to their homes. Within the high-risk flood zone, flood insurance requires that circuit breakers, boilers, water heaters and other fixtures be moved 18-inches above the base elevation of the 100-year flood plain, and that houses that sus- tained 51 percent damage or more be raised. “What do you do?” Remas asked. “Do you send (Pepe) to go and fine them and send them to court, and add insult to injury?” $50 insurance surcharge Intheshort term, failureof the boroughtomove towardcompli- ance will mean a $50 surcharge for flood policy-holders upon renewal, which FEMA says is necessary to offset risk. If West Pittston does not correct the problem within that year, FEMA could suspend the community’s floodinsurance eligibility, which would have much more draconian consequences for the borough and its residents alike. Under suspension, no resident would be able to buy a new floodinsurance policy, andexist- ing policies would not be renewed after expiration. Homebuyers would also lose eligibility for federally backed mortgages, mortgage insurance and loan guarantees, which require flood insurance when a home is in a flood zone. The borough would also lose eligibility for federal grants and loans for development in the flood zone, and no federal disaster assistance wouldbe provided to repair insurable buildings damaged by flooding. Solution not apparent Borough officials said they aren’t sure how to tackle the problem now that most repairs have already been made, though Borough Secretary Ellen Riddle said council is likely to take up the issue at its next meeting July 10. Council President Barry Ho- sier, Mayor Tony Denisco and Borough Manager Savino Boni- ta did not return calls seeking comment Tuesday. Remas said the solution could lie in better preparing for future floods. “They have to have a plan so that this never happens again, so next time there has to be compliance and enforcement,” Remas said. “So the mayor and the borough council need to put their foot down and say this is howit’s going to be and that’s all there is to it.” West Pittston levee? Bob Russin, a member of community-recovery group West Pittston Tomorrow, said the group got word the letter from FEMA was coming at its last meeting. He called the news unfortu- nate, but said it also attests to the need for a levee in West Pitt- ston. Russin said nearly all of the homes flooded in September must pay an annual premium of close to $3,000 for flood insurance. “If we get a levee… the maximum average would be in the $400 to $600 range,” he said.

WASHINGTON Home HIV test approved T he Food and Drug Administration has approved the first over-the- counter HIV test, allowing Americans to test themselves for the virus that causes AIDS in the privacy of their homes. The OraQuick test from Orasure is designed to detect the presence of HIV using a mouth swab within 20 minutes. Government officials estimate one- fifth, or about 240,000 people, of the 1.2 million HIV carriers in the U.S. are not aware they are infected. Testing is one of the chief means of slowing new infections, which have held steady at about 50,000 per year for two decades. FDA officials said the test is aimed at people who might not otherwise get tested. DENVER Planes resume fire fight Air Force C-130 tankers will resume firefighting flights Tuesday after the crash of another tanker plane over the weekend that left four crew members dead and two others seriously injured, the military said. The crash of one of the specially equipped C-130s Sunday while fighting a wildfire in the Black Hills of South Dakota prompted officials to ground the seven remaining planes in the fleet. The C-130 was from an Air National Guard wing based in Charlotte, N.C., and was carrying a crew of six. BAGHDAD Blasts kill at least 40 Bombs pounded six Iraqi cities and towns Tuesday, killing at least 40 people and raising suspicion that security forces might be assisting terrorists in launching attacks on Shiite Muslims. The onslaught came just ahead of a religious pilgrimage that could attract even more violence. A senior Iraqi intelligence official said checkpoint guards may have been bribed to help al-Qaida-linked Sunni insurgents plant bombs at Shiite mar- ketplaces. The attacks injected new fear into Iraqis, resigned to worsening violence six months after the last American troops left the country. TEHRAN, IRAN Missiles are launched Iran said Tuesday it test-fired several ballistic missiles, including a long- range variety meant to dissuade an Israeli or U.S. attack, alongside a push by Washington to beef up its military might in the region. The powerful Revolutionary Guard’s acting commander told state TV that the tests, aimed at mock enemy bases in a war games exercise, were a response to refusal by Israel and the U.S. to rule out military strikes to stop Iran’s nuclear program. “It is a response to the political impo- liteness of those who talk about all options being on the table,” Gen. Hos- sein Salami said. The official IRNA news agency said the surface-to-surface missiles success- fully hit their targets. The semi-official Fars said the salvos included the so- called Shahab-3 missile. Iran has tested a variety of missiles in previous war games, including a Shahab-3 variant with a range sufficient to reach Israel and southern Europe. The missiles are also capable of hitting U.S. bases in the region. Iranian state TV showed video of several missiles being launched.

BEIRUT-- Amid escalating cross-border tensions, Syrian President Bashar Assad has told a Turkish newspaper that he regrets “100 percent” Syria’s downingof aTurkishaircraft last month and said ground gunners assumed the jet was an Israeli warplane. “In the case of a Turkish plane I am saying 100 percent, ‘If only this had not happened,’” Assad told the Turkish daily Cumhuriyet in an interview published Tuesday. “In this kind of climate when a plane approaches like this it is naturally considered hostile.” But Assad offered no apology and did not retreat fromSyria’s account that the aircraft was hit well withindomestic airspace-a version disputed by the Turks, who say the plane was shot down in international airspace moments after having inadvertently strayed into Syrian skies. The Syrian president also vowed to avoid a direct confrontation with Syria’s former ally. “We will not allow relations between the two countries to turn into a shooting war that will harm us both,” Assad said, according to a partial transcript in English published by the BBC. Most analysts say neither nation wants a full-scale war to break out, but leaders of the two countries want to appear resolute in the face of any threat. The Syrian leader’s comments seemed to be a calculated effort both to defuse tensions with Turkey and to stand ground on Syria’s version of the jet incident. Though Assad is widely perceived as determined to hold onto power, he told the Turkish newspaper he would be willing to leave office if Syrians voted him out. “If the people sochoose they cansend me packing,” Assad said. Independent observers say Assad’s recent political “reforms” have not eased his stranglehold on power in a nation where political dissent has been crushed during more than four decades of autocratic rule by the Assad family. Since the incident, Turkey says it has scrambled F-16 fighter jets on several occasions in response to Syrian helicop- ters nearing the tense border zone. While extolling the Turkish people as “our friends,” Assad accused Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of trying to capitalize on the crisis, which prompted Erdogan to label Syria a “clear and imminent threat.” Even before the jet incident, Erdoganhadcalled on Assad to step down. “Whatever the Erdogan government does, we have not and will not mass forces on Turkey’s border,” Assad de- clared. Syrian leader ‘regrets’ downing jet But no apology in incident with Turkey The Los Angeles Times SAN FRANCISCO — Netflix subscribers watched more than 1 billion hours of online video last month as the advent of high- speed Internet connections and high-powered mobile devices change people’s viewing habits. The milestone announced Tuesday by Netflix CEO Reed Hastings came a day after Citi- group analyst Mark Mahaney issued an upbeat report about the company’s future. Those factors helpedlift Netflix’s stockby more than 6 percent in Tuesday’s ab- breviated trading session. The stock is still struggling to recover from last fall’s sharp increase in U.S. prices, which trig- gered a backlash among customers and investors alike. Netflix shares gained $4.19 Tuesday to closeat $72.04, well off their peak of nearly $305 last July. The rising usage of Netflix’s In- ternet video service may turn out tobeamixedblessingas thecom- pany phases out its DVD-by-mail rental service to focus on its goal of building a lucrative franchise in Internet-streamed video. Netflixis tryingtoweanpeople off DVDs to save on mailing costs and reduce its investment on a format that it expects to become obsolete. Delivering Internet video is quicker and less expensive than discs, but the streaming selection isn’t as extensive as what’s available on DVDs. To compensate, Netflix has been spending tens of millions of dollars during the past two years to add more compelling titles. Netflix’s increasing popularity indicates that those efforts are resonating with subscribers. That’s important because it helps validate a strategy that called for Netflix Inc. to invest heavily in video-licensing fees, eventhough the spending is expected to sad- dle the company with an annual loss this year —thefirst timethat has happened in a decade. But Netflix’s licensing bill could climb even higher, if TV and movie studios interpret the growing streaming viewership as a threat to the revenue they reap from advertising-supported entertainment bundled in cable-television packages. One of the biggest reasons that Netflix’s streaming service is catching on is because it costs just $8 per month to watch an unlimited amount of video without commercial interruptions. Netflix hits video streaming milestone More than 1 billion hours of online content watched last month, company says. By MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writer HARRISBURG — Joe Pa- terno’s family and supporters are defending the late coach against a leak of apparently damaging material released during highly secretive investigations intoformer assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Details from a decade-old email have raised new questions about whether the Hall of Fame coach tried to cover up a sex abuse complaint against Sandusky. WithPaternonolonger able to come to his own defense, his family has fought back, with their lawyer accusing “someone in a position of authority” of trying to smear the late coach. But family spokesman Dan McGinn said Tuesday he wasn’t worried about the various investigations’ impact on Paterno’s legacy. McGinn said Paterno never directed himto protect his legacy or clear his nameduringtheir discussions that followed Sandusky’s ar- rest in November. “Joe Paterno had confidence in the way he lived,” McGinn said. Paterno died fromlung cancer at age 85 in January, two months after the Penn State trustees fired him, citing a lack of leadership in response to a 2001 report by graduate assistant Mike McQueary about Sandusky showering with a boy in a football team locker room. Paterno issued a statement in December that said he reported the McQueary complaint to athletic director Tim Curley, and “that was the last time the matter was brought to my attention.” But CNN has reported that an email from Curley indicat- ed he changed his mind about going to child welfare authorities after speaking with Pa- terno, which suggests the longtime coach took a more active role in the decision than what he described. Curleyandretiredvicepres- ident Gary Schultz, are await- ing trial on charges they did not properly report the sus- pected child abuse, then lied to a grandjury about howseri- ously they viewed McQue- ary’s report. Email citing Paterno rallies defense of late coach By MARK SCOLFORO Associated Press WASHINGTON—Utility crews struggled to catch up with a backlog of millions of people without electricity for a fourth hot day Tuesday as frustration grewand authorities feared the toll of 24 storm deaths could rise because of sti- fling conditions and generator fumes. Power was back for more than a million customers but lights— and air-conditioning — were still out for about 1.26 million homes and businesses in seven states and the District of Columbia. The damage was done by powerful wind storms that swept from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic late Friday, toppling trees and branches into power lines and knocking out big transmission towers and electrical substations. Utilities were warning that many neighborhoods could remain in the dark for much of the week, if not beyond. Pub- lic officials and residents were growing impatient. “This has happened time after time and year after year, and it seems as if they’re always unprepared,” said John Murphy, a professional chauffeur from Burtonsville, Md., who was waiting for Pepco to restore power Monday to the homes of himself and his mother and sister, who live nearby. The wave of late Friday evening storms, called a derecho, moved quickly across the regionwithlittle warning. The straight-line winds were just as destruc- tive as any hurricane —but when a tropical system strikes, officials usually have several days to get extra personnel in place. So utility companies had to wait days for extra crews traveling fromas far away as Quebec and Oklahoma. And workers found that the toppled trees and power lines often entangled broken equipment in debris that had to be removed before workers could even get started. Adding to the urgency of the repairs are the sick and elderly, who are especially vulnerable without air conditioning in the sweltering triple-digit heat. Many sought refuge in hotels or basements. Officials feared the death toll, already at 24, couldclimbbecauseof theheat and widespread use of generators, which emit fumes that can be dangerous in enclosed spaces. After Maryland reported Monday that three people had died in the recent heat wave —the deaths were not storm-related — Deputy Secretary Fran Phillips stressed that people who are in areas without power need to take advantage of cooling centers. When it comes to getting the power running again, all utilities take a top- down approach that seeks to get the largest number of people back online as quickly as possible. First, crews repair substations that send power to thousands of homes and businesses. Next, they fix distribution lines. Last are the transformers that can restore power to a few customers at a time.

He especially remembered his mother, Jean, who died in 2010 at the age of 93. “My mother used to tell us you are defined by your cour- age and redeemed by your loyalty,” he said. “This soil runs thick with pride and loyalty.” Biden said everyone is entitled to be treated with digni- ty andhe saideveryone has an obligationtolookout for their neighbors. “The people of Scranton are remarkable,” he said. “All of you have had tough times. But you aren’t measured by the number of times you’ve been knocked down; you’re measuredby howyougot up.” A voice in the crowd shout- ed, “We love you, Joe.” Biden’s plane touched down at the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton International Air- port at 4:18 p.m. and he em- barked on a winding trip to meet with supporters, labor leaders, friends and family. He drove through his old neighborhood and passed the Green Ridge Little League field, where he learnedtoplay baseball. He spoke to the Green Ridge Little League All-Star team. “I’msoold, I playedthe first game ever played on this field,” he said, althoughhe ad- mitted he spent the game on the bench and never got a chance to get in the game. “I didn’t actually play, but I was still here.” The all-stars gave the vice president a baseball signed by members of the team. He said he would display it in his office. Biden told the players he started out as a shortstop, but in high school became a cen- terfielder. Gary Knight, assistant coach of the Green Ridge all-stars, said the experience was unforgettable for the children. “It means a lot to them to see the vice president at their home ball field, the same field that he played on as a child,” Knight said. “This is a mo- ment they will remember for the rest of their lives.” He and Casey stopped around 5:30 p.m. to visit with Casey’s mother, Ellen, former first lady of Pennsylvania. Bi- den called Mrs. Casey “one of the best ladies, period.” Casey greeted Biden at the airport. “You know the only reason why I left Scranton?” Biden joked. “I lived three blocks away from this guy’s father (former Gov. Robert P. Casey) and I knewonly one of us was going to make it.” Ontheeveof Independence Day, Biden took time to remember veterans of all wars. “I look at that veterans memorial over there and I think of so many patriots who have given their lives for this country,” he said. “You all are the grit, sinew and soul of what freedom is all about.” The vice president told the crowd that his son, Beau, served in Iraq. Biden ended his 15-minute speech with a sincere message. “I have spoke all over the world,” he said. “I’ve spoken to crowds that have been in the hundreds of thousands. But I want to tell you all here tonight that I am genuinely honored that you would allow me to be here with you tonight. Home is where your character is etched.” Biden walked a rope line to greet supporters before heading back to the airport and his return flight to Washington, D.C. BIDEN Continued from Page 1A PETE G.

S CRANTON – Many of the people at- tending Tuesday night’s “Scrantastic Spectacular” celebration on Cour- thouse Square were hoping to hear promises of a better tomorrowfromtheir vice president. But on a hot, humid evening with the threat of a thunderstorm, all they heard was talk of home and family, in addition to some inspir- ing music from the Northeastern Pennsylva- nia Philharmonic andthe loudbangs of a spectacular fireworks display. “I need to hear about their record,” said Ro- sette Adera, 48, of Scranton, referring to the first-term record of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden – the evening’s featured speaker. “I want to hear what they’ve done for four years,” Adera said. “What have they been up to?” Adera said she supported the Obama-Biden teamin 2008 and she intends to support them in November. “It’s good he’s here tonight,” she said. “He needs to reconnect with Northeastern Penn- sylvania.” Esty Lavande of Scranton said she was hoping to hear Biden talk about the next four years. “What are they planning to do?” she asked. “If they’re re-elected, that is.” Katie Gallandorm, also of Scranton, said she came out for the fireworks and the philharmonic. “And, of course, to see and hear the vice president,” shesaid. “I want toseewhat hehas to say. Everything concerns me, but I really hope he and the president bring all of our soldiers home.” Jennifer Loh, whose husband, Lawrence, is the conductor for the philharmonic, hadfront- row seats for herself and two children – Char- lie, 9, and Hilary, 6. They were there for the music and fireworks, but Mrs. Loh said she was hoping to hear a good message from Bi- den. “I’d love to hear how the government is going to help our veterans when they return home,” she said. Norma Jeffries of Shamong Township, N.J., was in town with her sister, Sylvia Parker of Scranton. They were anxious to hear Biden’s speech, but that’s wasn’t what prompted Jef- fries to travel from New Jersey to Scranton. “I came to get hard rolls at National Bak- ery,” she said. “But I want to hear how he intends to create jobs and get people back to work. I hope he doesn’t make any faux pas.” Mayor Chris Doherty welcomed the crowd and Lackawanna County commissioners Co- rey O’Brien and Jim Wansacz made remarks. O’Brien had to ask the crowd twice for an enthusiastic welcome for Biden. Sen. BobCasey, wearing a navy blue golf shirt and khakis, called it a “remarkable night.” “This is a night to celebrate our region, our history, our future and our families,” Casey said. “And it’s a night to welcome home Joe Biden.” O’Brien said Biden is a man of great character, integrity and intellect. “He has the convictiontodoall he canfor all people of the United States and especially, the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania,” he said. “Tonight we all celebrate as one family.” Those who wanted to hear about future were still happy with vice president’s talk of home, family Biden keeps it personal By BILL O’BOYLE [email protected] PETE G.

Chrysler U.S. posted its best June sales figures in five years – up 20 percent compared to the same month last year – thanks to demand across its lineup, it reported Tuesday. Our true military heroes are humble about service N ow that the Supreme Court has ruled that lying about military service, awards and medals is protected under free speech, I thought I would offer a way for the public to detect the liars from the heroes. If they weren’t there, they loudly brag about it. If they were there, they quietly brood over it. Richard P. Maida Larksville Get feds to investigate the ‘goings-on’ in W-B I t seems that being mayor of Wilkes- Barre has some really good extra benefits, such as a free security system for his home, costing thousands of tax dollars, and free gas for his private car. The mayor seems to think that since he was “threatened,” he is entitled to a top-of- the-line security system for his private residence. Also, when he goes to the grocery store, restaurant and church, people stop him to complain and to ask questions that have to do with the city; he feels this is official business that requires him to use the city pumps for free gas. If this isn’t stealing from that taxpayers of Wilkes- Barre, then what is? Does that mean that any employee of Wilkes-Barre who is asked an official question while off-duty also is entitled to free gas? If any employee of Wilkes-Barre is threatened, is he or she also entitled to a free security system for a private residence? Something is wrong with this picture. I believe that the federal government needs to step in and investigate the goings-on in Wilkes-Barre city government. James Vergura Pittston Plan to derail Obama reason for voter ID law T he author David Mamet once urged people to “always tell the truth because it is the easiest thing to remember.” Perhaps that was the case recently for Pennsylvania House Republican leader Mike Turzai of Allegheny County. In discussing the achievements of Gov. Tom Corbett and the Republican-led Legis- lature, Rep. Turzai let it slip that the new discriminatory voter ID law will “allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania.” Don’t just take my word for it; go to YouTube and search “Turzai: Voter ID Will Allow Romney to Win Pa.” In making his assertion, Rep. Turzai essentially conceded that the aim of the new law is to purge the voter rolls of Dem- ocratic voters, including many senior citizens, low-income voters and college students. If it was unclear to anyone that the intention of the new law is to ensure Presi- dent Obama’s defeat in Pennsylvania, it ought to be clear now. This law is not about fixing voter fraud, a problem that does not exist. This law is all about politics and ensuring the president loses Pennsylvania. Rep. Turzai said the truth because, after all, it was the easiest thing to remember. Hopefully, we too will remember the truth this November. Omeed Firouzi Trucksville Writer salutes ‘freedom’ from burden of thinking T his Independence Day, I am celebrating my newfound freedom to spend my money however the government wants me to. I will be pledging my allegiance to private monopoly insurance companies. Under international treaties and Codex Alimentarius policies, I will not have to do any thinking about my health. The government will remove dangerous vitamins and supplements from my life and add useful vaccine schedules to my state-issued medical card. Someday, I will get the class II implantable device with all of my scan- nable information on it. I know that work makes free. I will be tripling my effort to please my new owners.

Betty Sorchik and Camille Fioti Resident and community services staffers Meadows Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Dallas Want to be a baseball hit? Learn to deliver the pitch B aseball is in full swing and all the young players are dreaming of becoming Major League Baseball players. It would be wise for all players to practice pitching; it will make them better hitters. Many of the great hitters were pitchers in the early parts of their careers. I recently invented a new pitch that I call the “royal cut fastball and slider.” You start off by using a two-seam fastball grip with your middle finger directly on top of the narrow seam on the outside of the baseball. When you release the ball, you put added pressure on your middle finger and let the ball come off the thumb side of your pitching hand. You also slightly twist your wrist (your thumb would rotate up and your index and middle fingers would rotate down) when you release the ball. Before the season starts you should practice twisting your wrist (with a ball or without a ball) for a couple of weeks. You would not have to throw the ball. This will impart the spin on the ball with your wrist and not your elbow. Then you could start throwing this pitch for a couple of days to determine what kind of movement you are getting. Then you could move your grip halfway up the horseshoe curve and determine what kind of movement you are getting from this position. Remember to always have your middle finger directly on top of the seam. Then move your grip on to the top of the horseshoe curve and again throw this pitch for a couple of days to determine the kind of movement you are getting. Continue moving your grip around the seam of the baseball until you get back to your starting point (two-seam fastball grip). You could add any of these pitches to your arsenal of pitches. This pitch is considered an advanced pitch and should not be thrown until you reach high school.

Tom Corbett intends to sign a common-sense prison reform bill. The impetus was money. The state corrections system has undergone an enormous growth spurt: State prisons housed 8,200 inmates at an average annual cost of $11,400 eachin1980. By2010, theyheld 51,270 inmates at an average cost of $34,200. The price of the get-tough-on-crime approach is too high, and Penn- sylvania can appropriately handle the prison population at a much lower cost. Senate Bill 100 will expand the use of alternative sentenc- es, suchas community andout- patient treatment, for nonvio- lent offenders, reserving state prison cells for more serious lawbreakers. It will reduce the punishment for parolees who commit so-called technical violations, suchas failingtoattend meetings with parole officers; the practice had been to send those individuals back to prison to serve out their full terms. And it will overhaul the probation system, adding requirements including drug testing. The bill was supported by an endorsement from the national, nonpartisan Council of State Governments, whichpro- jected that the plan could trim $350.7 million fromPennsylva- nia’s corrections budget in five years. It didn’t hurt that Repub- lican majorities in other states backed similar measures. And Gov. Corbett made a particularly credible advocate for the changes, given his law- and-order background as the state’s chief prosecutor.

They instead will submit mileage reports and be reimbursed 55 cents per mile. Leighton on Friday acknowledged he had failed to fill out logs indicating how much fuel he took. Ken Pahler, head of the De- partment of Public Works, also failed to fill out the logs for fuel he pumped into his vehicle. Neither man was required to keep mileage records, meaning there is no way to account for whether any of the fuel was used for personal use. “We are taking this seriously and are taking immediate and appropriate steps to correct the issues,” McLaughlin said. “We are cooperating with DEP, and any violation they identify, we will do everything in our power to rectify.” Connolly stressed DEP is not insinuating any criminal wrongdoing. Its investigation was conducted solely to determine if there was a leak or any violations of regulations. It’s not known if the city will ever be able to determine what happened to the missing fuel, or exactly how much is missing. Connolly said DEP is not able to make that determina- tion. Connolly noted it’s possible that fuel readings listed on the logs – even if they are meticu- lously kept – might not always exactly match fuel readings in the tanks due to environmental factors that can impact fuel levels in the tank. Connolly said DEP inspec- tors told her tank readings can fluctuate based on a number of factors, including temperature. That could make it appear as though fuel is missing when it’s not. DEP cannot definitively say if that accounts for any of the missing Wilkes-Barre fuel, however.

County Interim Budget/Fi- nance Chief Vic Mazziotti said the mid-year report will determine how much money the coroner’s office and other row offices and departments will need. “The whole purpose is to look at all departments like the coroner,” Mazziotti said. “All departments are in a challenging situation and are dealing with problems. They (the coroner’s office) have enough money to keep func- tioning today, but perhaps not tomorrow. There’s going to be some adjustments, we know that.” District attorney’s viewpoint District AttorneyStefanie Sala- vantis, whose office works close- lywiththecoroner, saidthecoun- ty is mandated to pay for autopsies and toxicology tests. “I have an obvious concern if their budget runs out,” Salavan- tis said. “The county has an obli- gation to fund that office. As you know, the coroner conducts autopsies and toxicology reports for not only homicides that occur but also with suspicious deaths throughout Luzerne County. It’s a function that needs to be funded.” Salavantis said there is a “mutual understanding” with the coroner’s office to determine when an autopsy is required. There were 14 autopsies from Jan. 1throughJune 30, compared to 24 during the first six months of 2011. The coroner spent $79,330 for 41 autopsies and $46,085 for tox- icologytests in2011, accordingto records fromthe county controller’s office. Allocating money for autopsies and toxicology tests, which is blood drawn from a deceased person to be analyzed for drugs and/or alcohol, is difficult because no one can say how many homicides or suspicious deaths will be investigated. The coroner’s office frequently uses Dr. Gary Ross fromPatholo- gy Associates of Lackawanna County or Dr. Mary Pascucci of Hazleton Pathology to conduct autopsies.

Don Knotts, who died in 2006, was the goofy Deputy Barney Fife, while JimNabors joined the show as Gomer Pyle, the corn- pone gas pumper. George Lindsey, who died inMay, was the beanie-wearingGoober. The sheriff’s loving Aunt Bee was played by the late Frances Bavier. The showinitially aired from1960 to1968 and never really left television, living on for decades in reruns. In a 2007 interview with The Associated Press, Griffith said he wasn’t as wise as the sheriff or as nice. He described himself as having the qualities of one of his last roles, that of the cranky diner owner in“Waitress,” and also of his most manipulative character, from the 1957 movie “A Face in the Crowd.” “But I guess you could say I created Andy Taylor,” he said. “Andy Taylor’s the best part of my mind. The best part of me.” Griffith’s skill at playing a lovable rube was first established on a comedic mono- logue titled “What It Was, Was Football,” about abumpkinattendingacollegefootball game. That led to his first national television exposure on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1954 and the stage and screen versions of “No Time for Sergeants,” a production that cast Griffith as Will Stockdale, an over-eager young hillbilly who, as a draftee in the Air Force, overwhelms the military with his ro- sy attitude. His television career resumed in 1986 with “Matlock,” in which Griffith played a cagey attorney with a leisurely law practice in Atlanta. The show aired though1995. Griffith was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts Hall of Fame in 1992. In 2005, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In a statement Tuesday, President Barack Obama said Griffith’s characters “warmed the hearts of Americans everywhere.” In the 1957 drama “A Face in the Crowd,” Griffith starred as Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes, a local jailbird and amateur singer whobecomes a philosopher onnational television. As his influence rises, his drinking, womanizing and lust for power are hidden by his handlers. More recently, Griffith won a Grammy in 1997 for his albumof gospel music “I Love to Tell the Story — 25 Timeless Hymns.” In 2007, he appeared in a critically ac- claimed independent film, “Waitress,” playing Joe, the boss at the diner. The next year, he appeared in Brad Paisley’s awarding-winning music video “Waitin’ on a Woman.” Griffith also dappled in Democratic politics, appearing in 2008 in an Obama campaign video directed by Howard. Griffith was born June 1, 1926, and as a child sang and played slide trombone in the band at Grace Moravian Church. He studied at the University of North Carolina at Chap- el Hill and for a time contemplated a career in the ministry.

Griffith’s recommendation “is based on an audit commissioned by attorney Stevens after accusations of impropriety, unrelated to other attorneys,” Salavantis said. “The (Stevens) audit was submitted long after the other court-appointed attorneys, who were not accused of wrongdoing, had their invoic- es submitted, approved and paid,” Salavantis said. Salavantis said all her bills were for approved legal work which was “clearly allowed” by the county’s policy. In an interview Tuesday, Griffith defended his audit, saying he believed the Foren- sic Resolutions audit disallowed charges Stevens submitted for preparing bills, even though the county court system did not preclude her from doing so. A review of the audit shows it states only duplicative charges were disallowed, however. “Since we could find no par- ticular prohibitions onthe billing of travel or billing/payment related activities, we have only excluded instances where time entries appear to be potentially duplicative,” the Forensic Resolutions audit said. Forwarded for review Griffithsent copies of his audit to county officials and the court system on Tuesday for review. Mike Shucosky, deputy court administrator, said it’s not clear if the county will have any basis to seek reimbursement fromthe attorneys, given the county did not pro- hibit them from charging for bill preparation. “What the Forensic Resolu- tions audit did in the Stevens case does not relate to whether the county policy was vio- lated by these attorneys. That audit did not establish the standards for the county to follow,” Shucosky said. AUDIT Continued from Page 3A PITTSBURGH — A former police officer who retired from the FBI due to post-traumatic stress disorder linked to her role in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terror attacks has written a book about seeing le- gions of angels guarding the Pennsylvania site where a hi- jacked airliner crashed. Lillie Leonardi served as a li- aison between law enforcement and the families of the passengers and crew members killed in the United Airlines Flight 93 crash. She arrived on the scene about three hours after the crash. Although Leonardi’s book, “In the Shadow of a Badge: A Spiritual Memoir,” centers on her vision of angels, she argues her life has been changed more by what she didn’t see that day. “The biggest thing for me is that there were no bodies,” she said. Leonardi, 56, remembers the burning pine and jet fuel sting- ing her nostrils. She said she also remembers a smoldering crater littered with debris too small to associate with the jet- liner or 40 passengers and crew on board. “I’m used to crime scenes but this one blew me out of the water. It just looked like the ground had swallowed up” the plane, Leonardi said. “That’s when I started seeing like shimmery lights ... and it was kind of misty and that’s when I first saw, like, the angels there,” Leonardi said. Leonardi kept it to herself for the better part of two years. Writer says angels seen at Flight 93 crash site The Associated Press SCRANTON – A judge on Tuesday denied motions for summary judgments made by both the plaintiffs and the defendants in “kids for cash” lawsuits filed in federal court. The class-action lawsuit was filed by juveniles who allege they were wrongly incarcerated by former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella as part of a scheme to increase occupancy at the PA and West- ern PA Child Care juvenile detention centers that were once co-owned by attorney Robert Powell. The juveniles had filed a partial motion for summary judgment against Powell, PA Child Care LLC, Western PA Child Care LLC, Mid-Atlantic Youth Services Corp. and Powell-owned Vision Holdings LLC. The defendants sought cross-motions for summary judgment in their favor. Summary judgment is the issuing of a ruling for or against defendants when a judge decides that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact in the case and that whichever party motioned for the judgment is entitled to it as a matter of law. In his ruling, U.S. District Judge A. Ri- chard Caputo decided there were disputed facts in the case, so summary judgment could not be made for either side and the case could go to trial. In requesting the partial summary judgment, the juveniles contended the defendants deprived them of their constitutional right to an impartial tribunal, while Powell and Vision Holdings deny that. Caputo ruled the plaintiffs’ motions and the defendants’ cross-motions for summary judgment would be denied “because a genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether Powell conspired or engaged will- fully in joint activity with (former judges Michael) Conahan and Ciavarella to ren- der him, as well as (the other defendants) liable.” The defendants argued that any conspiracy to deny the juveniles their constitutional rights was “unwillful or coerced participation” because Powell repeatedly tes- tified he only made monetary payments to Conahan and Ciavarella because they had the power to destroy his investment in the detention centers. The plaintiffs argued it is undisputed that some of the payments to the former judges were not coerced, and Powell “knew from the outset that Ciavarella and Conahan would expect to be paid for their role in the construction of the detention centers,” Caputo noted in his ruling.

Look no further than Wize Eyes on Long Island. “So Proudly We Hail,” the chain advertised this week, “With Fashion Eyewear ... At Half The Price.” Perhaps Competition Subaru of Smithtown’s flag-themed “Ju- ly 4th Blast of Savings SALES EVENT” is more up your alley this year. Or possibly you need some last-minute hot dogs for your Fourth of July cookout? Don’t miss the Dietz & Watson “Grill-a-bration.” Look around, and one truth seems kindof self-evident. If you arrived in America with entirely fresh eyes, it would be easy to conclude that the summer’s day on which we celebrate our hard- won independence from En- gland is merely a pause to blow up some colorful explosives, cook some meat over an open flame and get some good deals on major appliances. And, of course, drink beer. But that can’t be all there is. Can it? In an era when everything fromhealth care policy to immi- gration divides us more than it unites us, when the Internet al- lows us to tear apart our fellow Americans’ virtual throats from the comfort of our keyboards, what does a holiday like Inde- pendence Day mean? Is com- mercialism the only thing that keeps us together? Does this tribal-feeling nation of niches and special interest groups and online communities still have much use for a holiday that, at its most elemental, celebrates the societal-level version of “Hey — I’m sick of you, so I’m leaving”? After 11score and16 years, we certainly know how the routine goes. We gather in our groups, with families and friends and neighbors, and we put politics aside. We cluster incommunity streets and sit upon community lawns to take in parades, then gaze up at the sky and see the bombs burstinginair andclaim, for ourselves, some kind of collective proof that the flag is still there. But how many of us actually stop and think about our political lot on Independence Day? Cynical though the notion may be, it’s hard to find a person who says, “Well, yes, actually, I do engage indiscourse about the state of our republic with my fellow Americans between bites of potato salad.” Independence Day can seem like a bubble, neither a unifier nor a divider. The American he- roics discussed are yesterday’s, not today’s. Everything is torpid and summery and more about thepursuit of happiness thanlife and liberty. And in that way, it’s about as American as you can get. What does Fourth mean today?

In two games at Coca-Cola Field, the Yan- kees have added two losses to the once-perfect stat. That includes Tuesday’s 6-5 loss to the Iron- Pigs, despite overcoming ob- stacles to take a late lead. Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre hitters had to face IronPigs’ ace Tyler Cloyd, who will start next week’s Tri- ple-A All-Star Game for the International League. And SWB starting pitcher John Maine had to face rehab- bing Philadelphia slugger Ryan Howard. Cloyd was effective through seven innings allowing just three runs on five hits, while Howard drove in four Lehigh Valley runs and was 2-for-3 with a two-run home run. But SWB was still in position for a victory after Jack Cust crushed a two-run homer in the top of the eighth to give the Yan- kees a 5-4 lead after they trailed 4-1 in the fifth. But the lead was short-lived as Manny Delcarmen (2-4) surren- dered two runs on two hits and a walk in the bottom of the eighth. The big hit was a run-scoring double by Cody Overbeck to tie the game at 5-5 and a sacrifice fly from Tuffy Gosewich gave Le- high Valley a 6-5 lead. Maine cruisedthroughthe first three innings retiring all nine batters he faced. Kyle Hudson, Lehigh Valley’s first batter of the fourth reached on an infield single.

Wegener then crushed a pitch that looked like a walk-off homer at first before dying at the base of the fence where it was caught. However, the throw into the infield skipped passed everybody, allowing two runs to score. In all, four of Mountain Top’s five runs were unearned as South Wilkes-Barre committed five errors. “Huge hit,” Mountain Top manager Tony Caladie said of Wills’ hit, one of only four Mountain Top had all game. “Sean is a contact hitter and I was confident he’d get the hit.

Interviews with the referee of the June 9 fight, two Neva- da Gaming Control Board officials and state Athletic Commission Director Keith Kizer turned up no evidence of wrongdoing, state Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto said in the letter to Top Rank chief executive Bob Arum. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Orange Bowl, ACC sticking together The Atlantic Coast Confer- ence is remaining tied to the Orange Bowl. The league announced a 12-year agreement with the bowl beginning after the 2014 season. It says details on the opponent and broadcast partner will come later. The ACC has sent its champion to the South Florida- based bowl every year since 2006, and this announcement means that relationship will continue when the Bowl Sub- division makes the switch to a four-team playoff in two years. The game will be played annually at 1 p.m. on Jan. 1. BASEBALL Clemens’ freedom comes at a cost Roger Clemens won’t be getting back the money he spent on his first perjury trial, which ended in a mistrial. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton on Tuesday denied the former pitcher’s request for fees and other costs associated with the trial that ended abruptly last July when prosecutors showed jurors a snip- pet of videotaped evidence that had been previously ruled inadmissible. Walton said last fall that “it doesn’t seem fair” for Clem- ens to pay for the government’s mistake, but the judge’s ruling found that the law doesn’t allow for such compensation because it wasn’t shown that the prosecutors deliberately introduced the barred evidence. OLYMPICS Tarmoh defending choice not to run Jeneba Tarmoh doesn’t want to be viewed as a quitter. A sense of fairness and not fear kept her from taking the starting line to break a third- place tie in the 100 meters with training partner Allyson Felix on Monday. Tarmoh didn’t think it was right she had to earn that spot again after originally being awarded third place in the June 23 race. Her heart wasn’t into a runoff and she notified USA Track and Field she was step- ping aside, conceding the final Olympic spot in the 100 to Felix. TENNIS Hall-of-Famer faces abuse investigation The Rhode Island-based International Tennis Hall of Fame has hired a Boston attorney to investigate allega- tions a doubles champion inducted in 1992 sexually abused girls he coached. Hall Chief Executive Mark Stenning said that attorney Michael Connolly is inter- viewing accusers and will help determine whether to expel, suspend or take no action against Bob Hewitt. Massachusetts resident Heather Conner says she was abused by Hewitt. She says she wants Hewitt booted from the Hall. NEWS IN BRIEF what the girl’s doing, but concentrate exactly on what she wished to do,” he continued. “And that was the only message.” Consider it delivered. The 30-year-old Williams, bid- ding to become the first woman at least that age to win a major title since Martina Navratilova at Wim- bledon in1990, turned in her best performance of the tournament against her most difficult opponent. After being stretched to 9-7 and 7-5 third sets against less-accom- plished women in the two previous rounds, the No. 6-seeded Wil- liams was on top of things from the get-go against No. 4 Kvitova. “You can’t play a defending Wimbledon champion or Grand Slam champion and not elevate your game,” said Williams, who produced 27 winners and only 10 unforcederrors. “I hadtoweedout the riffraff and just get serious.” Kvitovahadwon16of her last17 matches at Wimbledon, including 11in a rowsince a loss to Williams in the 2010 semifinals. Two days later, Williams went on to win the championship — her fourth at Wimbledon, her 13th at a Grand Slamtournament andher most recent to date. Withina week, Williams cut her feet on glass at a restaurant, leading to a series of health problems, including being hospitalized for clots in her lungs, then the removal of a pocket of blood under the skin on her stomach. “No one tries to have ups and downs. Some things happen sometimes, and you have absolutely no control over it,” said Wil- liams, whose only first-round loss in 48 Grand Slam tournaments came at the French Open in late May. “SoI thinkit’s howyourecov- er from that, and how you handle the downs evenmore thanthe ups canreally(reveal your) character.” OnThursday, Williams will play No. 2 Victoria Azarenka of Bela- rus, the reigning Australian Open champion, who defeated unseed- ed Tamira Paszek 6-3, 7-6 (4) under the roof at night to reach the Wimbledon semifinals for the second straight year. The other semi- final will be No. 3 Agnieszka Rad- wanska of Poland against No. 8 Angelique Kerber of Germany. Alittle before10 p.m. on Centre Court, Radwanska finished her 7-5, 4-6, 7-5victoryover No.17Ma- ria Kirilenko — whose boyfriend, two-time NHL MVP Alex Ovech- kin of the Washington Capitals, was in the stands. Earlier, the match was forced off Court 1 because of showers, tied 4-all in the third set. “Today was for me, like, 40 hours,” Radwanska saidafter reac- hing her first Grand Slam semifi- nal. “I was on and off all the time, waiting pretty much all day.” Kerber was a 6-3, 6-7 (7), 7-5 winner over No. 15 Sabine Lisicki in an all-German matchup. Lisicki saved three match points in the second set, but then let a 5-3 lead slip away in the third against Kerber, also a semifinalist at last year’s U.S. Open. Williams owns, by far, the best resume of any woman in action Tuesday. She was participating in her 33rd major quarterfinal; the other seven players have been in a total of 29. Not surprisingly, Kvitova expects Williams to win the title. Asked howdifficult it is for anyone to beat Williams when she plays the way she did Saturday, the Czech replied: “It is big difficult.” Impossible? “I can’t say ‘impossible.’ She’s human,” Kvitova said. Both played impressive grass- court tennis, hitting powerfully, servingwell andreturningdanger- ously. Williams simply was superior doing all of it. WIMBLEDON Continued from Page 1B twice, includingthetimehemade up an eight-shot deficit and beat Ernie Els in a playoff in Thailand. He won the Deutsche Bank-SAP OpeninGermany three times. He wonthe DunlopPhoenixinJapan twice. He won the Dubai Desert Classic twice, most recently in 2008 with birdies on five of the last seven holes to hold off a young German named Martin Kaymer. His victory in the Australian Masters at Kingston Heath in 2009 came at the end of a very goodyear that was about togove- ry bad. Woods didn’t collect another trophy for two years, at the ChevronWorldChallengelast De- cember. Andinhis first full year as a pro, he skipped one of his favorite playgrounds — Torrey Pines — to play in the Asian Honda Classic. That waspart of theOme- gaTour, whichfeatured21tourna- ments and included winners such as Frank Nobilo, Craig Parry and Ted Purdy. Want more? Add to that total every tournament in which he left with the only trophy available. You can count the‘99WorldCupfor hisindividu- al medal, and the seven wins at the PGA Grand Slam of Golf (he wonin2002by14shots, astagger- ing display of separation, even if Rich Beem might not remember being there). He won four times at his own tournament (Williams World Challenge, Target World Challenge) before the tournament awarded ranking points. And howcan anyone forget the historic “Showdown at Sher- wood” in1999, the Monday night exhibition on ABC when he beat Duval? That night was memorable for two things. Duval aimed for the rock in the middle of the16th fairway (now the seventh fairway) because he figured no one ever hits it dead straight. Except for him. On that shot. And caddie Steve Williams refused to wear long pants in the heat. When a rules official told Williams he would no longer caddie on the PGATour, Woods leaned into the conversation and said, “Guess I’ll be playing in Europe next year.” And that was that. So that brings the total to 99 wins. Toincludeall trophies, throwin the World Cup with Duval, and the team part of the World Cup winwithO’Meara. AddoneRyder CupandsixPresidents Cups. And because team competitions count, it would be wrong to leave out the twotitles at the illustrious Battle at Bighorn (with Annika Sorenstam in 2001 and Nicklaus in 2002), and then the Battle at the Bridges (with Hank Kuehne in 2004). And don’t forget those epic battles at the Tavistock Cup. Woods was onthe Isleworthteam that won it three times. That brings the grand total to 114 wins, which is still “pretty cool.” Or pretty silly. with Guldahl. And get this — he is credited withwinningtheBingCrosbyNa- tional Pro-Amin1950, which was atieamongSnead, DaveDouglas, Jack Burke Jr. and Smiley Quick. So where did the PGA Tour come up with 100 wins for Woods? By counting two wins fromone tournament (1999 World Cup). By counting seven wins from the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, a 36- hole exhibition for major champions. And by counting a World Cup with David Duval that featured alternate shot for two of the rounds. The most peculiar decision is the World Cup. Before the PGA Tour took it over and tried mak- ingit aWorldGolf Championship, it was stroke play in which both scores counted. Woods was med- alist in 1999 in Malaysia (one win), and he and O’Meara won the team total (another win). Woods and Duval won the next year inArgentina whenit was tru- ly a team format. But then, whystopat the World Cup? Woods played on one winning Ryder Cup team in 1999 at The Country Club. He picked up five more wins in the Presidents Cup. That doesn’t include the famous tie in South Africa in 2003, so you might as well include it. After all, the Americans were the defending champions, and Snead was able to count a tie for one of his wins. Besides, Woods considered it a win. When he won the Australian Masters six years later for his first trophy fromDown Under, he said he was proud to have won on every continent where golf is played. “I haven’t playedthe Antarctica Four-Ball yet,” he said. “But to have won on every playable continent, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do. And now I’ve done that.” To the best of anyone’s knowledge, neither Snead nor Nicklaus won the Antarctica Four-Ball, either. Anyway, to keep track of wins outside the parameters of a home tour can get a little messy. This much we know: Woods has 74 wins on the PGATour and is closing in on Slammin’ Sammy. And he will try to add to his total this week at The Greenbrier Clas- sic, where Snead was the first emeritus head professional. Perhaps the best measure of Woods’ worldwide wins is to include any tournament that belongs to a recognized tour, or any tournament that offers world- ranking points. That would give him12more andbringthe total to 86. He won the Johnnie Walker TIGER Continued from Page 1B sidered extraordinary to take a few days to make a decision?” Neil Sheehy, Suter’s agent, wrote in an email. “A deal will happen when it happens.” Parise said Tuesday he still didn’t have a timetable for his decisionsoonafter landinginhis home state at the Minneapolis- St. Paul International Airport. “I’mback here to talk with my family and make sure that we’ve doneall theworkthat weneedto do make sure we make the right decision,” Parise told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis. Parise hasn’t met with any teams, one of his agents, Wade Arnott, told The Associated Press. His other agent, DonMee- han, said there was no chance the coveted client would make a decision Tuesday night. “We will resume tomorrow,” Arnott wrote in a text message Tuesday night. The New Jersey Devils want their top forward available to resign while Pittsburgh, Philadel- phia, Detroit and Minnesota are among the teams that are trying to lure him away. Parise said he has been looking at where he wants to live, where he’ll be happy and what team he wants to play for since hitting the market Sunday. And, he’s looking forward to being done with the process. “It’s been a stressful couple days,” Parise told the Star Tri- bune. The two free agents are both 27 and each has been with only one teamduring their seven-season careers. Suter has played for the Nashville Predators, who are hoping for a quick answer from him so that they can move onto Plan B if necessary. The Preda- tors aren’t alone. Second-tier free agents such as defenseman Matt Carle and forward Alexander Semin seem to be waiting for Suter and Praise to sign so that they can offer their talents to teams that don’t get a top target. Some players, however, have jumped at chances to re-sign or sign in the opening three days of free agency. Colorado kept defenseman ErikJohnsonthanks toa $15mil- lion, four-year deal and New Jer- sey retained defenseman Bryce Salvador with a $9.5 million, three-year contract. Jagr, who played last season with Philadelphia, has led the NHL in scoring five times and won an MVP. He had 19 goals and 54 points — both career lows — for the Flyers. In NHL history, he ranks first with 16 overtime goals, second with 114 game-winning goals, eighth with 1,653 career points, 11th with 665 goals and 12th with 988 assists. Jiri Hudler signed a $16 million, four-year contract with Cal- gary — getting much more than Detroit offered to keep him — and former Flames forward Olli Jokinen left to play in Winnipeg on a $9 million, two-year contract on Monday. There were a flurryof signings Sunday, including forward P.A. Parenteau leaving the New York Islanders for a $16 million, four- year contract with the Ava- lanche and 40-year-old forward Ray Whitney getting a $9 million, two-year deal from Dallas. AP FILE PHOTO For the first time in his Hall of Fame career, Jaromir Jagr will be playing for a Western Conference team. The prolific Czech signed a one-year, $4.55 million contract with Dallas on Tuesday. NHL Continued from Page 1B lead. “I know how to pitch him,” Maine said about Howard. “But that home run was just one mistake there, and he just hit the tar out of it and that’s what you’re supposed to do. He’s a guy that in that situation, I should’ve ap- proached it a little different, but I came after him and he hit it hard.” The last time the Yankees faced Cloyd was on Opening Day when he threw six perfect innings. Tuesday was much different as Scranton/Wilkes-Barre got to the 25-year-old righty. Brandon Laird hit his fifth home run of the season in the top of the second. The solo shot which sailed over the billboards inleft field, gave the Yankees a1-0 lead. In their next at-bat the Yankees scored two on a single by Francis- co Cervelli on bases-loaded single with no outs. But Cloyd got the next three batters –Cust, Bra- nyan and Laird – as SWB went down without scoring anymore. Besides the trouble with Ho- ward, Maine was as effective as Cloyd, recording his longest outing of the season with the Yan- kees, tossing seven innings. His previous best was five innings in a scoreless effort his last time out against Gwinnett. The former Met and Oriole gave up seven hits, four runs and struck out three while only walking one in his fourth start of the season. Maine, who was signed by the Yankees on May 25, had a relief appearance to begin his stint with the Yankees and entered the night with just 11 innings on the season for SWB. “It’s a step in the right direction. It feels good to go seven innings,” Maine said. “I still got a lot to work on. I just got to keep working on it in between starts. I needed to get past that four, five- inning mark and I feel fine.” Howard, who played seven innings in the field playing first base, is scheduled for a day off today and is expected to play first base in back-to-back games on Thursday and Friday. Playing the field on consecutive days might be the next obstacle before he’s activated by the Phillies. “I guess that would possibly be one thing, being able to play back-to-back nights,” Howard said. “Obviously it’s a National League team, so you have to be out there every day.” The five-game series at Lehigh Valley continues tonight with the IronPigs as the home team and the final two games on Thursday and Friday will be with the Yan- kees as the home team. In tonight’s contest, Nelson Figueroa (5-2, 3.90) will start for the Yan- kees and will be opposed by Le- high Valley lefty Scott Elarton (5-5, 4.60).

The All-Star point guard said on his Twitter page Tuesday night that he “made a very tough decisiontoday” andposteda picture of the Nets’ new team logo that accompanies their move from New Jersey to Brooklyn. A person with knowledge of the decision said Williams told the team he was accepting their five-year contract worth$98 million. The person confirmed the agreement on condition of ano- nymity because contracts can’t be signed until July 11. Williams, the top free agent available, chose to stay with the Nets over signing with the Ma- vericks, who hoped they could convince him to come back to the area where he grew up. It’s a huge triumph for the Nets as they prepare to move in- to the new Barclays Center to start the 2012-13 season. They gave up an enormous package to get Williams in a surprising Feb- ruary 2011 trade, sending prom- ising forward Derrick Favors, point guard Devin Harris, two first-round draft picks and cash to the Utah Jazz. But it was worth it for the Nets, who needed a franchise player with them to build buzz for their move to New York. N B A Williams agrees to new deal with Nets By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer C M Y K PAGE 4B WEDNESDAY, JULY 4, 2012 THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com ➛ S P O R T S After 14 seasons, Kevin Kringe is getting his chance. After serving as the top assistant coach in the Hazleton Area girls basketball program, Kringe was named head coach of the Penn State Wilkes-Barre women’s basketball team on Monday. “I’mreallyexcitedabout theop- portunity,” said Kringe, of Hazle- ton. “I’m a little nervous, too, because it will be first time running the show, but I think we can improve upon last season.” Looking to improve on last season’s overall record of 10-13, Penn State Wilkes-Barre has found a coach that is familiar with success. After ending high school as BishopHafey’s career leader inas- sists andsteals, Kringe went onto playfor King’sCollege. Duringhis timethere, theMonarchs competed in the NCAADivision III Tour- nament twice and won the Free- dom Conference in the 1993-94 season. During his time as the assistant coach at the varsity level, the Ha- zleton Area girls won eight consecutive Wyoming Valley Confer- encechampionships from2001-09 and four District 2 champion- ships. Kringe also guided his 2002 junior varsity squad, which he was the head coach of, to a 22-0 season, the first undefeated team in the history of the school’s junior varsity program. Along the way, Kringecompiledanoverall record of 246-72 andwas the WVCjunior varsity coach of the year four times. “Probably the biggest thing I learned while coaching at Hazle- ton was attention to detail, that the little things add up and if you don’t take care of themthey come back to haunt you,” said Kringe. “Whether it be something from practice or in a game. The little things add up when you need them.” “Also, withthe jayvees, I was always introducing them to a sys- temevery year, so I’mused to get- tingnewplayersandbriningthem into a system. I think I’m pretty goodat installing a newsystemto players.” As for the system Kringe plans to bring with him to PSU Wilkes- Barre, fans in attendance during this season’s upcominggames can expect toseetheLadyLionscome charging out of the locker room. “I’ll definitely be bringing and up-tempo, pressure, attacking type of system,” Kringe said. “We’ll bepressingfromtheget-go, usinga lot of manpressure. Offen- sively we’re going to push the ball and create opportunities in the fast break. “We’re definitely going to be getting after people and trying to shut people down.” Fortunately for Kringe, the adjustments made to his style won’t be entirely unfamiliar with all of the players on his roster. Catherine Beach (junior) and last year’s leading scorer Michele Vowler (sophomore) both played at Hazleton Area during Kringe’s timeas anassistant coachandwill be back this coming season. “I didcoachsome of the players onmy time during my time at Ha- zleton, and there are two or three others I’ve coached against from the WVC,” said Kringe. “So it shouldn’t betoohardfor everyone to pick things up.” With the talent available to him and his confidence in his system, Kringe believes the Lady Lions can put together a fine season. “Things have looked pretty good so far,” said Kringe. “Just to mention a few players, Tiffany Rochester-Denny is an athletic forwardwho’s goingtofit innicely and so far I have two good shoo- ters in Aubrey Wargowsky (Wyoming Area) and Nicole Mas- lowski (Wyoming Valley West). I definitely feel we canput together a good season.” C O L L E G E B A S K E T B A L L Hazleton’s Kringe at PSU W-B Cougars assistant will take over the women’s program at the local branch campus.

We showed that later in the game; we didn’t show that early.” Mountain Top stuck with We- gener on the mound throughout despite allowing four hits in the fifth, including the homers. He also battled through getting hit on the upper right thigh with a line drive in the fourth. The defense committed just one error. “Our strength is our pitching and our defense,” Caladie said. “Our pitcher Steve pitchedreally well for us tonight.

He picked up the win after allowing no earned runs over 5 1 ⁄3 innings of work. “He had 42 pitches after the first inning,” Steve Mathers said. “But he lasted to the sixth. It was thanks to some 12-pitch innings. You’re throwing that many pitches; it means you’re throwing the ball, and (the defense) is making plays.” West Pittston struggled after the first inning, only putting four runners on base in the final five frames. “We went flat; our bats went flat,” West Pittston coach Carl DeLuca said. “If you can’t hit, you can’t score.

USA Basketball says Lamar Odom won’t try to earn an Olympic roster spot, leaving the Americans with 15 players for 12 spots. Odom informed USA Bas- ketball chairman Jerry Colan- gelo and coach Mike Krzyzew- ski that he was unable to play this summer. He had previously beenexpectedto take part in training camp this week despite a difficult seasoninwhich he and the Dallas Mavericks parted ways early. With the Americans lacking size up front, Odom’s depar- ture could strengthen new Clippers teammate Blake Grif- fin’s hopes of making the team, or perhaps open the door for Memphis’ Rudy Gay. The remaining players that are expected to report to camp Thursday in Las Vegas are: Le- Bron James, Kobe Bryant, Car- melo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Tyson Chandler, Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Andre Igu- odala, James Harden, Eric Gor- don and rookie Anthony Davis.

Niese (5-3) pitched a season- high eight innings and gave up three hits, one a homer to Carlos Ruiz. His hit in the second inning put New York up for good. The Mets put on a clinic of clutch hitting and slick fielding in handing the Phillies their sixth straight loss. The only thing they did wrong was run into two outs on the basepaths. Daniel Murphy finished a homer short of the cycle, doubled twice, drove in four runs and made a leaping catch and diving stop at second base. Pirates 8, Astros 7 PITTSBURGH — Drew Sutton hit a one-out solo homer in the bottom of the ninth and the Pittsburgh Pi- rates improved to eight games over .500 for the first time in 20 years with an 8-7 win over the Houston Astros on Tues- day night. Acquired via waivers last week, Sutton homered for the first time since Oct. 3, 2010, lifting the Pirates to their sixth walkoff win of the season, the first via a home run. The Pirates rallied from deficits of 4-0 and 6-2 to take a 7-6 lead on a Garrett Jones two-run homer in the seventh. But with Houston down to its last strike in the ninth, pinch- hitter Jason Castro drove in Jed Lowrie with a double. Nationals 9, Giants 3 WASHINGTON — All-Star shortstop Ian Desmond hit his 14th home run, and the Wash- ington Nationals became the latest team to beat up on Tim Lincecum, pounding the struggling right-hander hard early and often Tuesday night in a 9-3 victory. The opener of the three- game series between first-place teams was barely a contest. Jordan Zimmermann (5-6) pitched a rain-shortened six innings and again enjoyed the generous run support that had evaded him for so long, ensuring the Nationals would wake up on the Fourth of July with a 3 1 ⁄2-game cushion over the New York Mets atop the NL East. Braves 10, Cubs 3 ATLANTA — Newly chosen All-Star Chipper Jones delivered his first five-hit game in a decade, driving in four runs Tuesday night and leading the Atlanta Braves over the Chica- go Cubs 10-3. Jones was added to the NL All-Star roster before the game. The 40-year-old third baseman replaced injured Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp. Brewers 13, Marlins 12, 10 innings MILWAUKEE — Aramis Ramirez hit a two-run homer off Heath Bell in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Mil- waukee Brewers to a 13-12 win over the Miami Marlins on Tuesday. Livan Hernandez (2-1) pitched the 10th and picked up the win. Rockies 3, Cardinals 2 ST. LOUIS — Jeff Francis worked five solid innings before the Colorado bullpen took over and Tyler Colvin hit a three-run homer as the Rockies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 on Tuesday night. N AT I O N A L L E A G U E R O U N D U P Niese has Phils crying ‘uncle’ The Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Sean Rodriguez hit a go-ahead two-run homer, helping the Tampa Bay Rays continue their home dominance over the New York Yankees in a 7-4 victory over the AL East leaders on Tuesday night. Rodriguez, mired in a 17 for 100 slump dating back to May 21, finished with 3 for 4. After blowing a three-run lead, New York went ahead 4-3 on Eric Chavez’s RBI single during the fourth. Tampa Bay responded in the bottom half and grabbed a 5-4 lead on Ro- driguez’s first homer since May 27 off Ivan Nova (9-3). James Shields (8-5) gave up four runs and 10 hits over seven innings for the Rays, who have won nine straight at Trop- icana Field over the Yankees. Blue Jays 6, Royals 3 TORONTO — Adam Lind hit a three-run homer, Brett Cecil won for the first time in three starts and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Kansas City Royals 6-3 on Tuesday night. Lind’s sixth homer was the big blow in Toronto’s six-run fourth inning. The win put the Blue Jays over .500 at 41-40 at the midpoint of the season. The Royals lost for the fourth time in five games since matching their season high with a four-game winning streak. Cecil (2-1) allowed three runs and five hits in six-plus innings to win for the first time since June 17 against Philadel- phia, his first start after being promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas. The left-hander walked one and struck out three. White Sox 19, Rangers 2 CHICAGO — Kevin Youkilis, Adam Dunn and Alex Rios homered in the first inning off Roy Oswalt and All-Star Chris Sale won his 10th game Tues- day night and the Chicago White Sox routed the Texas Rangers 19-2. Playing in his first home game with the White Sox since his trade from Boston on June 24, Youkilis had three hits and drove in four runs in a meeting of division leaders that saw Chicago score its most runs this season. A.J. Pierzynski, not chosen for the AL All-Star team man- aged by Texas’ skipper Ron Washington, hit a three-run homer off reliever Yoshinori Tateyama— his 15th of the season — to cap a nine-run fifth inning and make it 16-0. Seven of the runs in the inning were unearned, thanks to an error on Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler. Indians 9, Angels 5 CLEVELAND — Rookie Zach McAllister lasted six innings, overcoming a throwing error and two home runs in the fifth, and Shelley Duncan homered to lead the Cleveland Indians to a 9-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Tues- day night. McAllister (3-1) allowed three earned runs and eight hits, and he and the Indians recovered after blowing a four- run lead. Duncan homered in the fourth off an ineffective Dan Haren (6-8). Jose Lopez had three hits and Michael Bran- tley two RBIs for Cleveland.

(570)735-2236 746 Garage Sales/ Estate Sales/ Flea Markets ALAMEDA, Calif. — Ben Da- vidson, the hulking defensive endwhostarredfor the Oakland Raiders in the 1960s before becoming a famous television pitch man, has died. He was 72. Davidson died Monday night. He was being treated for prostate cancer. Former Raiders coach John Madden first reported Davidson’s death Tuesday on KCBS radio in San Francisco. Davidsonspent 11years inpro football, starting withthe Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins in the NFLbefore joining the Raiders in the AFL in 1964. That’s where the 6-foot-8 Da- vidsonbecame famous. Withhis distinctive handlebar mustache, raspy voice and physical play, Davidson helped personify Al Davis’ renegade Raiders on the 1960s. “He was a tough, gutsy ball- player, team oriented with enough meanness in him to be feared and enough talent to be effective,” former Raiders teammate Tom Flores said. Flores, who recently played golf with Davidson, got the news while in Las Vegas for a celebration of Davis, who would have turned 83 on Wednesday. Davidson played in the second Super Bowl for Oakland after the 1967 season and then was on the team that lost the conference title game the next three seasons. He was then a fourth-round pick by the New York Giants in 1961. He played his rookie season with Green Bay, winning the NFL championship with the Packers in 1961. He then spent two years in Washington before joining the Raiders in Davis’ second season as coach in Oakland. He spent eight seasons with the Raiders. He was a second-team Associat- ed Press All-AFL selection in 1965 and first-teamer in 1967. “He was just a big, tall, skinny guy that Davis took a chance with,” Flores said. “He was able to rush the passer and worked hard to get bigger and stronger, withthe character andpersonal- ity. He was always that way.” After retiring, Davidson was a successful actor with roles in films like “M-A-S-H,” “Conan the Barbarian” and “Necessary Roughness.” He played himself in Miller Lite ads.

ATLANTA — Braves third baseman Chipper Jones on Tues- day was named to replace Dodg- ers outfielder Matt Kemp on the NL All-Star roster. Jones had been a candidate to be voted onto the teamby fans in baseball’s Final Vote campaign. Instead, Jones, 40, is replacing Kemp, who is on the disabled list with a hamstring injury but plans to participate in the All-Star home run derby. Jones said he immediately thought about his children when he was told by general manager FrankWrenof thehonor after bat- ting practice on Tuesday. “I’m gonna be a kid in a candy store carrying four other kids in a candy store,” Jones said. He said his spot on the All-Star team “was a complete surprise.” The All-Star game will be playedat Kansas City’s Kauffman Stadium. Jones said it is the only current stadium in the major leagues in which he has not played. Jones will be makinghis eighth All-Star appearance in his final season. He has announced plans to re- tire after the season. He is hitting .291 with six homers and 29 RBIs. He said he will tell NL manager Tony La Russa he would be happy just to watch if he is not needed in next Tuesday’s game. Jones will join Braves teammates Dan Uggla, the starting second baseman, and closer Craig Kimbrel on the NL team. Center fielder Michael Bourn remains a candidate in the fans’ Fi- nal Vote for the last roster spot. Jones was injured and did not play when he was named to the 2011 All-Star team. He is 5 for 13, for a .385 average, with one homer in six All-Star games. He started in 2008. “I’ve felt the same excitement every time,” Jones said. Jones’ 460 career homers are No. 3 on the list of switch-hitters, behind Mickey Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504). He entered Tuesday night’s game with a season-best nine- game hitting streak. He said he has regained confidence in his swing after missing two weeks with a contusion on his left leg.

The 22-year-old Slovakian won Tuesday’s ridetowardtheEnglish Channel in dramatic fashion, and then went cinematic, pumping his arms in the running style of the fictional Forrest Gump at the behest of his Liquigas teammates. Competing in his first Tour, Sa- gan earned his second victory in the three full stages so far. He is picking up where he left off in May at the Tour of California, where he won five of eight stages. On Tuesday, he mastered a tricky uphill finish and schooled many older riders on the last of five small climbs over the 122- mile ride fromOrchies to the fishing port of Boulogne-sur-Mer. With the pack split up because of crashes, Sagan bolted ahead with less than 300 meters left. He crossedthelineseveral lengths — and one second — ahead of 46 other riders in his wake. Switzerland’s Fabian Cancella- ra was one of them, and he retained the leader’s yellow jersey for a fourth straight day after winning the opening-day prologue. Tuesday’s ride marked the first crash-related withdrawals from this 99thTour, whichends July22 on Paris’ Champs-Elysees. The race remains wide open. After flat early stages, the Swiss rider has 43rivals withinaminute of his overall time, and that’s likely to change when the pack heads to the Alps in the second week and the Pyrenees in the third, if not sooner. Overall, Cancellara leads runner-upBradley Wiggins andthird- place Sylvain Chavanel by seven seconds. Defending champ Cadel Evans of Australia rose one spot toseventh, 17seconds behind. Sa- ganwas15th, another six seconds slower. Sagan enjoys putting on a show for fans. To that end, he churned his arms, as a runner might, in a nod to the title character in the movie “Forrest Gump.” “It’s a thing I’d discussed with myteammates about what kindof gesture I’d do on the line,” Sagan said. “Everybody said, ‘Do a For- rest Gump’ because when he was told to run, he ran. And when I’m told to win, I win.” T O U R D E F R A N C E AP PHOTO The celebration, as it turns out, was premeditated. Prodded along by his teammates, Peter Sagan showed off his best Forrest Gump impersonation after capturing the third stage of the Tour de France on Tuesday. It was his second victory in three days. Sagan finding his inner Gump The Slovakian wins again, adding some theatrics to his victory in the third stage. By JAMEY KEATEN Associated Press NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees gained additional leverage in his protracted contract talks with the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday when an arbitrator in Philadelphia ruled in Brees’ favor in a dispute over how much the Saints would have to pay the star quarterback if they applied the franchise tag to him again in 2013. The Saints have already used the tag on Brees for 2012, meaning he can’t negotiate with another team and could be forced to settle for a one-year, $16.3 million deal if he cannot reach a new long- term deal by a July 16 deadline specified in the league’s collective bargaining agreement. Systemarbitrator StephenBur- bank’s ruling Tuesday saidif New Orleans tries to tag Brees a sec- ondyear ina row, he wouldbe entitled to a 44 percent raise to about $23.5 million because it would be his third-career franchise tag. The NFL had argued Brees would be due a 20 percent raise because it would have been only his second franchise tag with one team. Burbank, however, ruled that while the NFL’s CBA has some ambiguity on the matter, it is clear that the overarching purpose of the language regarding multiple franchise tags is meant to protect players from being denied their rights to free agency for an undue length of their careers. “The arbitrator properly reject- ed the NFL’s strained interpreta- tion of the CBA language, which ignored the fact that a franchise player designationis a narrowex- ception to the overall free agency structure,” the NFLPlayers Asso- ciation said in a written statement after Burbank’s ruling. “This ruling will help all franchise players inthe future. We are very happy that Drew Brees has clarification on this matter, and we hope that it facilitates a successful negotiation for Drew and the Saints.” Brees has so far skipped the Saints’ offseason practices while holding out for a new long-term contract with New Orleans. New Orleans designated Brees, 33, its franchise player in March after the club was unable to reach a new long-term extension with the record-setting quarterback before his previous six- year, $60 million contract ex- pired. N AT I O N A L F O O T B A L L L E A G U E Saints must pay up for Brees’ franchise tag Arbitrator rules in favor of the QB, which could net him an extra $7 million this year. By BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer Brees C M Y K Overdue bills decline The portion of consumers with payments overdue on credit cards, auto loans and other debt dropped in the first three months of the year to the lowest level since 2007, according to the American Bankers Association. Overall, the percentage of consumer loans that were at least 30 days overdue dropped to 2.35 percent in the January-through-March period, down from 2.49 percent in the last quarter of 2011. It was the best performance since the second quarter of 2007, and put consumer delinquencies below the 15-year average of 2.4 percent, the group said. At the worst point during the Great Recession and its aftermath, about 3.35 percent of consumer loans were overdue. Barclays execs resign Bob Diamond, chief executive of Barclays, resigned Tuesday over an inter-bank rate-fixing scandal under investigation by U.S. and British financial authorities. The announcement came a day after Barclays’ chairman, Marcus Agius, quit his post for the same reason. Jerry del Missier, the bank’s chief operating officer, followed Diamond out the door later Tuesday, announcing that he had quit the post to which he had only recently been appointed. Barclays has been fined more than $450 million by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.S. Justice Department and the British Financial Services Authority. Oil prices spike Renewed tensions between Iran and the West pushed oil its highest level in more than a month. Benchmark U.S. crude added $3.91, or 4.7 percent, to end at $87.66 per barrel in New York. That’s the highest price since May 30. Combined with a big gain on Friday, oil has risen by nearly $10 per barrel in less than a week. Boeing sees big sales Boeing is raising its 20-year pre- diction for worldwide airplane sales to 34,000 jets, enough to double the size of the world’s fleet, as more people travel in China, India, and other emerg- ing markets. The airplane maker and defense contractor predicted on Tuesday that $4.5 trillion worth of planes will be sold.

The Plains Township casino took $19.9 million from slot players in June, an 11.4 percent increase compared to the same month last year. A shift in the calendar helped, but wasn’t the only factor, said Bobby Soper, president and CEO. “June was a strong comparable, because there were two extra weekend days,” Soper said. But even accounting for that, “we still had strong growth” that he attributed to the start of a “Hot Summer Fun” program that drew gam- blers with activities including a weekly party and a barbecue festival. Statewide, the10 casinos openfor the full year saw a 4.5 percent rise in slot revenue, to $201.7 million in June. Slot revenue at MoheganSunrose 5.8 percent over the fiscal year, outpacing the 5 percent combined growth rate of the 10 casinos. The local casino took in $238.7 million in the latest fiscal year while operating an average of 2,331 slot machines, 51 fewer than in the prior year. Statewide revenue rose to $2.5 billion, which includes $11.8 million from the Valley Forge Casino Resort that opened in March. “I think it exceeded our expecta- tions,” Soper said about the full-year performance. “The gaming market has become fairly mature in Pennsylvania,” making rapid growth difficult. That maturation has included the May 2009 opening of Sands Casino Re- sort in Bethlehem, which had the second-highest revenue for the year, $286.2 million, and growth of 8.3 percent. Looking ahead, Soper said the mid- week July 4th holiday would probably have little effect on business, since people who chose not to take extra days off would be offset by those that could. Pennsylvania taxes slot revenue at 55 percent and took in $1.3 billion for the fiscal year.

Sun outshines rest Casino at Pocono Downs slots revenue up 5.8 percent By RON BARTIZEK [email protected] DETROIT– Newvehicle sales finished strong during the last 10 days in June as automakers boosted incentives and July Fourth holiday sales kicked in early. "There was quite a bit of merchandising going on last weekend," Ken Czubay, Ford’s vice president of U.S. marketing, sales and service, said Tuesday. In June, sales increased 20 percent for Chrysler, 15.5 percent for General Motors and 7 percent for Ford, the automakers said. Japanese automakers reported much larger sales gains compared with last June: about 60 percent at Toyota and 28 percent at Nissan. The Japanese auto industry was hobbled last year by a lack of inventory caused by an earth- quake and tsunami that knocked out production in Japan. Volkswagen reported a 34.2 percent increase, while Hyun- dai’s June sales rose 8 percent from a year earlier. Industry executives said lower gas prices and pent-up-demand fromconsumers who have deferred new car purchases in recent years continued to help automakers sell new cars and trucks despite an economic recovery that remains slow. Kurt McNeil, GM’s U.S. vice president of sales operations, said he expects the annualized pace of industry sales in June will top 14 million cars and trucks. That would be slightly higher than the pace many analysts projected and higher than the 13.8 million pace the industry reported for May. Ford said its June sales increased 7 percent in part because of strong sales of its SUVs. Sales of the Ford Explorer increased 35 percent and sales of the all-new 2013 Ford Escape increased 28 percent. Chrysler’s sales of cars and trucks jumped 20 percent in June, the 27th consecutive month of year-over-year gains. Reid Bigland, Chrysler’s head of U.S., said he expects industry sales to slow slightly for the remainder of the year, but he still expects industry sales will top 14.2 million this year, or about 11 percent more than 2011. Incentives boost June auto sales By BRENT SNAVELY Detroit Free Press By CANDICE CHOI AP Food Industry Writer NEW YORK — Chuck E. Cheese has been given the pink slip. The company that operates the chain of children’s pizza restaurants is retiring thegiant rodent’s outdatedimage—and the man who voiced its character for nearly two decades. CECEntertainment Inc. says it plans to launch a national ad campaign Thursday with a revamped image of Chuck E. Cheese as a hip, electric-guitar-playing rock star. It’s just the latest makeover for the 35- year-old mascot, which started life as a NewJersey rat who sometimes carried a cigar. CEC Entertainment is struggling to revive sales at its more than 500 pizza restaurants, which offer games, prizes and a musical variety show. In May, CEC said revenue at its locations open at least a year fell 4.2 percent in the first quarter and lowered its out- look for the year. According to ShowBizPizza.com, a Chuck E. Cheese fan site, the man who voiced the mascot in commercials since 1993 learned of his replacement only after coming across “Chuck’s Hot New Single” online and realizing it was sung by someone else. The new Chuck E. Cheese that launches this week will be voiced by Jaret Reddick, the lead singer for the pop-punkbankBowlingfor Soup. According to ShowBizPizza.com, the idea for Chuck E. came from a generic mascot costume that was acquired by the founder, Nolan Bushnell, who also co-founded Atari and Pong. Executives originally considered calling the restaurant “Rick Rat’s Pizza” but a PR agency figured a rat would be a bad mascot for a pizza chain. Chuck E.

A storm system will produce a few thunderstorms over the Upper Midwest as well. Monsoonal moisture will lead to scattered showers and thunderstorms over the Southwest and into the central Rockies.

Lots of folks will be using their grills today, and many expect to drink some beer. Here’s a variation on the theme. After we roast these ribs in an oven, and before we braise them, we pour a few bottles of delicious Blue Moon Wheat Beer over them. Enjoy the recipe, and enjoy the Fourth of July! The recipe for this sauce was developed by our sous chef Jason Bennett here at Fire and Ice on Toby Creek. For the sweet barbecue dry rub, you can play with different season- ings. We used a mix of smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic, chili powder, thyme, salt and pepper. ••• BRAISED ST. LOUIS RIBS With BLUE MOON DRIED BLUEBERRY BARBECUE GLAZE Serves 4-6 3 full racks St. Louis pork ribs 1/4 cup sweet barbecue dry rub 4 bottles, 12 ounces each, of Blue Moon Wheat Beer Rub the ribs with dry rub and let sit overnight. Place in a roasting pan with sides 2-3 inches high. Roast in a 400-degree oven for 30 minutes until browned. Pour three bottles of beer over the ribs and cover. Reduce the heat to 275 degrees and braise for approximately 2.5 hours until you can push a spoon through the meat between the bones. Every hour, baste the ribs in the beer. Reserve the liquid degreased. BLUEBERRY MOON BBQ SAUCE Yield: 1.5 quart 1 ounce extra virgin olive oil 1 small onion, diced 4 ounces canned blueberry juice 1 Blue Moon Beer 1 pound packed brown sugar 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard 2 cups catsup 2 tablespoons dry rub seasoning 7 ounces dried blueberries Sauté the onion in the olive oil until soft and golden brown, deglaze the pan with Blue Moon and 1 cup of the degreased braising liquid from the ribs. Whisk in the brown sugar, mustard, catsup, seasoning and blueberries. Simmer for 25 minutes; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and serve.

PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER Chef Gary Edwards from Fire and Ice on Toby Creek supplied this barbecue dish to celebrate the Fourth of July. While it should be nice to have a day off in the middle of the week today, many of us might find ourselves at a loss as to what to bring to the Fourth of July cookout. How did this day creep up so quickly, and where did the time to make something for the celebratory cookout go? Don’t worry; there are plenty of ways to impress fellow barbecue attendees, and all in 20 minutes or less. Locals shared their favorite recipes, used to wow the crowd. ••• RED, WHITE AND BLUE SANGRIA “Quite possibly the simplest drink recipe I’ve ever done.” – Melissa Yarmey, 40, Wyoming www.punchbowl.com Ingredients: • Sliced strawberries • Blueberries • Pineapple, cut into star shapes • 2 bottles dry white wine •1 cup Triple Sec •1/2 cup berry-flavored vodka •1/2 cup fresh lemon juice •1/2 cup simple syrup Combine the ingredients in a large pitcher and stir. Chill in the fridge for at least four hours. ••• PATRIOTIC TACO SALAD “I was sick of making sweets and desserts that were red, white and blue, so this salad is a change of pace.” – Samantha Corsi, 23, Freeland www.tasteofhome.com Ingredients: •1 pound ground beef •1 medium onion, chopped •1 1/2 cups water •1 6 oz. can tomato paste •1 envelope taco seasoning • 6 cups tortilla or corn chips • 4 cups shredded lettuce •10 pitted large olives, sliced lengthwise • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, then drain. Stir in water, tomato paste and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Place chips in an ungreased 13- by 9-in. dish. Spread beef mixture evenly over the top. Cover with lettuce. For each star, arrange five olive slices together in the upper left corner. To form stripes, add cheese and tomatoes in alternating rows. Serve immediately. Tip: If you’re preparing this ahead of party time, get rid of the layer of chips and instead serve them on the side. ••• Fun, fast foods for a festive Fourth WWW.PUNCHBOWL.COM A simple, and patriotic, sangria recipe sports the proper colors. WWW.TASTEOFHOME.COM A twist on the typical taco salad forms an American flag. See FOURTH, Page 2C A s she waited for her take- out order at Caribbean Paradise in downtown Wilkes-Barre, frequent customer Tiffany Green took a first-timer under her wing. If you want your food to be mild, she said, that can be arranged. But if you want a really spicy meal, ask for the jerk chicken or the jerk pork. Then expect the fiery feeling to extend beyond your mouth. “You know it’s good when your whole body gets warm,” said Green, who lives in the Heights section of the city. “I kid you not.” Pointing out some of the groceries for sale at the cozy little take-out place on South Washington Street, Green said the passionfruit drink is oh-so-sweet, the coconut water is “very good for you,” and the cerasee tea has medicinal value. “Lord, it is bitter,” she said. But it calmed her stomach when she was pregnant.

While his wife, Christine, la- dled Green’s order of beef stew, rice and beans into a container, chef Anthony “Tony” Trout ex- plained he learned to cook Carib- bean style when he was growing up in Jamaica. “You get to be about 11 years old, you start learning to cook,” he said. He’s lived in the United States for more than 20 of his 50 years and gained experience working at a restaurant in the Bankers Trust Company Building in New York City. “It was American-style food,” he said. “Totally different.” Nowadays he cooks the food that is closer to his heart. He fries the banana-like plantains, slowly stews the popular oxtails, and stuffs pastry-shell patties with spicy mixtures of beef, chickenor vegetables. If he hasn’t made something spicy enough, customers are welcome to add more heat, he said, showing off a bottle of Scotch bonnet pepper sauce, which was crafted from an extra-hot variety of island chili peppers. It’s beena weekof hightemper- atures, and if it wasn’t so warm, Trout said, he’d make some of his soup specialties, including “cow foot soup” and “chicken foot soup.” Yes, he said, chicken feet are clearly visible in the broth. Food experts will tell you both chicken and cowfeet make an extra-nutritious stock because they release a lot of marrow and gela- tin. “The food is delicious,” said customer John Costello of Sha- vertown, who ordered jerk chicken and curry chicken on Monday afternoon. Costello is a restaurateur himself, proprietor of the Brown Barn Café in the Back Mountain. He came to Wilkes-Barre to see a filmat Movies 14, just around the corner from Caribbean Paradise and decided to give himself a Ja- maican treat. “This is what’s for dinner tonight,” he said. PARADISE Continued from Page 1C BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER Chef Anthony Trout’s curry chicken is savory but not overly spicy. Here he serves it with rice and beans, collard greens, potatoes and carrots at Caribbean Paradise. Jerk spices, a fruit called ackee, concentrated passionfruit drink and various teas are among the groceries you can purchase at Caribbean Paradise in downtown Wilkes-Barre. If you visit downtown Wilkes-Barre to eat at Caribbean Paradise (822- 6000), which, by the way, is open today, here are some nearby at- tractions to check out: • Movies 14 on East Northampton Street is just around the corner from Caribbean Paradise. • Three short blocks away, River- front Parks beckon.

We had both come out of very long and abusive relationships when we met. He works hard, and I stay home and take care of the house, the animals and the yard. There is no kind of abuse in our relationship. The problem is that I am an alcoholic. He keeps telling me he can handle it as long as there is no abuse. I feel I’m taking advantage of him and that he deserves better than this, and I have told him so. I have been in rehab several times and tried AA. Nothing worked. I always go back to drinking. Where do I go from here? I don’t want to lose the love of my life, but it’s killing me inside that he has to put up with my drinking problem. — Needs Help in Florida Dear Needs Help: There IS abuse going on in your relationship — substance abuse. Until you finally decide that there is something more important than a drink, you will remain stuck in your addiction. And as long as your partner continues to accept and “handle it,” he will be your enabler. Where you go from here is up to you, but getting counseling for your low self-esteem and going back to AA would be giant steps in the right direction. Dear Abby: It seems that every other letter you print concerns a demanding relative. The writer always wants to know how to avoid unreasonable demands without causing “unpleas- antness.” May I say a word to these folks? Be honest and admit that the relationship is ALREADY unpleasant. Demanding people are impossible to please. They know their control over you depends on temper tantrums and/or fits of sulking and tears. When faced with an unreasonable demand, just say “no.” Don’t waste time giving reasons or trying to work out a compromise. You already know it won’t do any good. Then hunker down and wait for the explosion, keeping in mind that the longer you have been a doormat, the more vio- lent and bitter the reaction will be. Above all, do not be drawn into a fight! Controlling people love to fight, and they are good at it. Your weapon should be polite withdrawal. Refuse meetings. Screen your calls. Ignore letters and emails unless they contain an apology and indicate a sincere desire for change. It may shock your domineering relatives into more reasonable behavior. If not, you haven’t lost a thing. You may even find that your life is less complicated without them. Draw the line and let your family know that future relationships will be based on love AND respect, or there will be no future relations. You won’t regret it. — Been There, Done That, Knoxville, Tenn. Dear Been There: People who have spent a lifetime trying to please others may find your recommendations difficult to put into practice. Habits can become so entrenched that they are hard to break without coaching and positive reinforcement. That is why I advise those who feel constant- ly put upon to consider taking classes in assertiveness training. DEAR ABBY A D V I C E Guilt-ridden alcoholic feels he does not deserve the love of his life To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — po- ems and essays, send a business-sized, self- addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor- ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.) ARIES (March 21-April 19). The simple desire to make another person feel positive and good is the essence of charm. You’re feeling so confident now that you’re able to focus on others without a worry as to your own gain. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Other people’s wants do not always require an automatic response from you. Think about the best way to help first. Be careful not to fly to someone’s aid out of a compulsory need to be the rescuer. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have an openness about you now. Maybe it’s your smile or twin- kling eyes, or maybe it’s because your head is held high. Whatever it is, interesting people will approach you because of it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t believe that the leader is better than everyone else, only more experienced. Someone has to take charge, and you’ll decide that that someone is you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone wants to be loved by a person who doesn’t demand gratifica- tion in return. Unconditional love doesn’t want anything. It’s rare and hard to find, and it’s the kind of love you feel for someone now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).You can’t force a plant to grow. You can only create the conditions that are most conducive to its thriv- ing. There are many things about your life that will blossom in time if you plant the seed and then back off. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Short- term fixes only lead to future problems. Find solutions that are going to help things once and for all. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Success means actively seeking the kinds of activities that fit your skills and talents. When an activity makes you feel less than excited about being you, look for something else to do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A strong desire to feel wanted may lead to becoming overly involved in the business of others. Make yourself happy in other ways instead. Develop a strong core of self-acceptance. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your energy is a sacred currency; your time, a holy commodity. Therefore, you’ll be extremely mindful as to how you use these resources. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are not likely to forget the time you tried and failed in the past, because it taught you the les- son that will help you succeed in breaking through a barrier today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re already on the ride. All you have to do now is sit back and let it take you where it goes. As with all rides, you’ll wind up back where you started, but you’ll have a new adventure under your belt. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 4). You are the rock for your loved ones this year, and they will build their lives on your steadfast attention. Because people trust you, you’ll be promoted and well paid. This month and October are the most lucrative. September is the most romantic. Pisces and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 49, 25, 4, 15 and 27.

Code Chapters 121 and 139) Measurement and Reporting of Condensable Particulate Matter Emissions The Environmental Quality Board (Board) will hold three public hearings for the purpose of accepting comments on the proposed rulemaking to amend 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121 and 139 (relating to general provisions; and sampling and testing) to update and clarify what sampling and testing methods are used to demonstrate compliance with certain particulate matter (PM) emission limitations. The proposed rulemaking would update and clarify certain testing and reporting requirements in Chapter 139 regarding emissions of filterable and condensable PM which currently apply to certain owners and operators of air contamination sources. Emissions of condensable PM contribute to the formation of fine particulate, or PM2.5, in the atmosphere. Proposed § 139.12(a) (relating to emissions of particulate matter) clarifies that the owner and operator subject to the existing PM emission standards codified in 25 Pa. Code §§ 123.11—123.13 (relating to combustion units; incinerators; and processes) is required to test only for filterable PM as provided in paragraphs (1)—(5) of this subsection. For the purpose of demonstrating compliance with these standards, the owners and operators would not be subject to the filterable and condensable PM test requirements proposed under subsections (b)—(d). Proposed § 139.12(b) clarifies that the owner and operator of a stationary source subject to emission limitations for inhalable coarse particles (PM-10) and for PM2.5 shall determine compliance with those limitations by using tests measuring both filterable and condensable PM. This subsection also clarifies that the owner and operator of a stationary source subject to applicabil- ity determinations under Subchapters D and E (relating to pre- vention of significant deterioration of air quality; and new source review) of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127 (relating to construction, modification, reactivation and operation of sources) shall demonstrate compliance for filterable and condensable PM-10 and PM2.5 emissions. Additionally, the proposed amendment under § 139.12(c) explains the process used for determining compliance with filterable and condensable PM emission limitations, and the proposed amendment under § 139.12(d) explains the compliance demon- stration process for the measurement and reporting of filterable and condensable PM. The proposed change under § 139.53 (relating to filing monitoring reports) modifies where monitoring reports must be filed. The proposed rulemaking would amend Chapter 121 to add two terms and definitions in § 121.1 (relating to definitions): “condensable particulate matter” and “filterable particulate matter.” The proposed rulemaking, if published as final-form rulemaking in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, will be submitted to the U.S. Environ- mental Protection Agency as a revision to the State Implementa- tion Plan.
