As temperatures and humidity climbed, attendance at city parks dropped off as kids chose to stay in air conditioning or head to pri- vately owned swimming pools. As boys and girls swung on swings and slid on sliding boards, the site of the city’s soon- to-open splash pad sat idle. A fence has been erected around the site to keep children and adults fromfalling into the 6-foot hole that awaits a new vault for the pad. “A splash pad would be great in this weather,” said Maria Ko- rona of Wilkes-Barre. “The kids would be able to cool off.

She has no electricity yet, and the roof is not proper- ly attached, leaving the interi- or exposed to the elements. Escamilla has been living in an air-conditioned apartment that she can no longer afford. But when the lease ends in two weeks, she has to move — a day she dreads because it means she’ll have no escape from the searing temper- atures.

Jane Heiple of Lyceum Group Inc. told the board an array could be built through a “power pur- chase agreement.” Aninvestor or companywouldpayconstruction andmaintenance costs, while the district bought the power at a guaranteed rate for a set number of years, typically 15 to 20. If done right, Heiple said, the contract assures a lower rate than the district is payingnow, andthe rate rises more slowly than what commercial providers charge, so savings grow over time. Heiple said the average increase of elec- tricity charges was about 5 per- cent per year while the business was heavily regulated, but that since government deregulation took hold, some are projecting cost increases to hit 30 percent annually. Heiple said Power Purchase Agreements are particularly at- tractive to companies right now because the federal government offers tax credits and grants that can cover up to 50 percent of the cost. She noted a key incentive, which covers about 30 percent of cost, is set toexpire inDecember. Stressing that all estimates are rough guesses until a company comes in and does more rigorous engineering research, Heiple said it looks as though the field where the array would be located could produce about 320 kilo- watts. Neither she nor district of- ficials knew how much the dis- trict currently uses, but Heiple said that would be below the maximum need. If the district opted to build such an array on its own, Heiple said a rough cost estimate would be between $1.2 million to $1.5 million. But building it through a purchase power agreement means the company contracted would assume all risks and re- sponsibilities, including mainte- nance. The district would simply buy the power at the pre-set rates. The board could negotiate op- tions at the end of the contract, such as having an option to buy the array or have the company come and remove it. The board took no action, but members generally voiced sup- port for drawing up and publiciz- ing a “request for proposals” that would invite companies to offer costs and contract terms for a power purchase agreement. The board would either have to call a special meeting to vote on doing that or wait until its regular Au- gust meeting. Hanover Area considering solar power The school district could buy power at a lower rate, a consultant says. By MARK GUYDISH

On July 13, representatives from the district inspected the berms and noted the township failed to provide effective ero- sion and sedimentation con- trols. Chairman Dave Sutton said the district is cracking down on all municipalities and is requiring corrective mea- sures that aren’t practical and are dangerous. Sutton said the district is re- quiring the township to put up silt fences or line the berms with hay bales, which he said would pose a risk to motorists. Township crews have been clearing the berms to help con- trol runoff and flooding for the past several weeks on several township roads. He said the board plans to discuss the mat- ter with the district. “We’ll try to explain that what they’re asking us to do isn’t practical,” he said. “It could cause a real safety is- sue.” Supervisor Doug Ide said crews from drilling company Encana are working to reclaim the exploratory natural gas well pad at the Salansky site on Zosh Road in Lake Township. Once the company finishes the work and truck traffic is gone from the area, the company will begin to repair the roads it damaged. The affected roads are Outlet, Meeker, Meeker- Outlet, Slocum and Ide roads. The board opened bids for construction of a new roof for the municipal building. Only two bids were received which were from out-of-town contrac- tors. Ark Builders Corp., of Al- lentown presented a bid of $37,730 and Spotts Brothers Inc., of Schuylkill Haven, sent in a bid in for $21,460. No local firms sent proposals for the job, despite advertising in The Times Leader and The Citi- zens’ Voice newspapers on two occasions, said Treasurer Al Cragle. The township engineer will review the bids and make a recommendation. In other business, the board granted temporary permits to: • Lake Silkworth Volunteer Fire Department for its annual bazaar on the grounds of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church from July 29 through July 31. • Dallas Cross Country Booster Club for the Annual “Run for the Fallen” at Penn State Wilkes-Barre campus on Aug. 17. • Penn State Wilkes-Barre for its annual cross-country meet on Sept. 17.

By CAMILLE FIOTI Times Leader Correspondent SALEM TWP. — The town- ship supervisors and the plan- ning commission are examining a proposed townhouse project that might be scheduled for con- struction in 2012 on a tract of landformerly knownas the Bow- er farm off Bomboy Lane. It has been named “The Salem Township Project.” Marr Rentals LLC of Blooms- burg has submitted a plan for 32 units intended, according to in- formation provided at a public hearing in May, for people 55 years old and older. Kristan Mertz, rental administrator for Marr LLC, said on Monday that the proposed project has met with initial adverse reaction from residents on East 7th, 8th, 9th and 9th streets and an amended plan has been pre- pared by S.M. Design Architects of Wilkes-Barre. The amended plan must still be submitted to and approved by township officials. Mertz said the hearing attract- ed a capacity crowd, and for the most part, objection was raised about traffic, although concern was raised about the units being rented to people other than Marr’s stated clientele. Original- ly she said ingress and egress was designed for East 9th Street, but has since been changed to Luzerne Avenue. It was said that part of the mo- tivation for the proposed project is a demographic study that sug- gests that there is a high number of seniors in the Berwick-Salem area who are in need of such rental housing and, in addition, there are prospects of a third unit being constructed at PPL’s Susquehanna Steam Electric Station. According to plans presented to township officials, the intent is for one- and two-bedroom apartments designedfor individ- uals and couples, not families. Each unit, Mertz said, will be one floor with an attached ga- rage. She said rental rates will be between $750 and $950 per month. Nancy J.

Salem Twp. studying 32-unit townhouse project By TOMHUNTINGTON Times-Leader Correspondent SCRANTON – A Catholic priest has been removed from ministering as pastor of St. Michael the Archangel parish pending the outcome of an in- vestigation into his allegedly providing alcohol to a minor. According to a statement re- leased by the Diocese of Scranton, diocesan officials were informed on Sunday that the Rev. Michael O’Leary, a member of the Priestly Frater- nity of St. Peter, allegedly fur- nished alcohol to two individ- uals, including an underage young adult and a minor. The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter is a Clerical Society of Apostolic Life in the Church, established by Pope John Paul II in 1988 to offer the Traditional Latin Rite of the Mass and the sacraments to the faithful. At the time the incident was reported, O’Leary was serving as pastor at St. Michael’s in Scranton, where Masses are offered in the Traditional La- tin Rite. He has served in that capacity since January 2010. Diocesan officials have spo- ken with the parents of the two individuals and reported the matter to law enforce- ment. The incident was also reported to the appropriate superiors from the Fraternity of St. Peter. “O’Leary has been removed from ministry and from St. Mi- chael’s Parish pending the out- come of the investigation. Diocesan officials remain committed to fully cooperat- ing with law enforcement in the investigation,” the state- ment said. The Rev. Eric Flood, North American District Superior for the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, could not be reached for comment on Monday. A supervisor with Scranton police did not immediately re- turn a message Monday seek- ing more information. According to the diocese website, O’Leary was or- dained in 1993. He had been residing at St. Michael’s Rec- tory, 1703 Jackson St., Scran- ton. Diocese removes Scranton-area pastor The Rev. Michael O’Leary allegedly gave alcohol to an underage adult and a minor.

Michael Sean Winters, of the National Catholic Reporter, indicated the move could come as early as this week. The region includes the Diocese of Scran- ton. Church law mandated that Rigali submit his resignation on turning 75, which he did earlier this year. But it was not known if the Vatican would accept it. Rigali is the head of the Arch- diocese of Philadelphia, which has been rocked with recent revelations of child abuse at area churches. A grand jury report issued in Feb- ruary determined the archdiocese did not follow its own procedures when clergy members were suspect- ed or found to have abused children. The grand jury criticized the arch- diocese for leaving priests suspected of abuse in ministerial positions. Three priests and a teacher were charged this year by the grand jury with rape of children. A monsignor in the archdiocese was also charged with endangering children by trans- ferring the suspected priests. The Associated Press PITTSTON TWP.

But now, Olenik, who had to put her home up for sale and sell all her belongings, has to wait another two months, after her niece’s attorney on Mon- day asked for a continuance in scheduled proceedings. Olenik’s niece, Marisa Har- len, was scheduled to enter a guilty plea to one felony count of receiving stolen property af- ter police said she began tak- ing the money after assuming Olenik’s power of attorney. Harlen, 29, of Kingston, who was charged in September, said in November at a court ap- pearance that she intends on paying back the money to her aunt and will plead guilty be- cause of a gambling addiction. “She’s waiting for me to die,” Olenik said Monday. “That’s what she’s doing. That was my first thought.” Olenik said Monday shortly after hearing the proceeding had been rescheduled to Sep- tember that she thought some closure would come, but now she has to wait even longer. When reached Monday by telephone, a secretary for at- torney Joseph Yeager, when asked about Monday’s contin- uance, said “no comment.” “I’m so furious, I can’t even speak. I’ll make it and she’ll spend her time in jail,” Olenik said. Olenik’s home nurse, Mi- chelle O’Neill, said Olenik be- gan to cry after being told about the September court date. “It’s gonna be a bad day,” Olenik said Monday. “But, to- morrow will be better.” Most of Olenik’s belongings were sold last weekend in an estate sale at her Sondra Drive, Larksville, home. There is also a buyer for the house that was listed for sale in Janu- ary for $230,000. Olenik said she put her home and belongings on the market because she is no long- er able to afford the house and the 24-hour at-home nurse’s aid she requires. Olenik said she and her hus- band, Edward, who died in De- cember, worked their entire lives -- he as a carpenter, plum- ber and mechanic and she as a government employee. They saved their money and eight years ago bought the Sondra Drive house where they planned to live the rest of their lives.

WILKES-BARRE – The city has filed another appeal of a court ruling that scuttled its efforts to recoup part of a $500,000 settlement paid to a police of- ficer who was injured when his cruiser was struck by another vehicle. The appeal, filed in the case of officer George Cole, is the latest in a long, con- voluted legal battle the city has waged relating to access to assets that remain in Cole’s bankruptcy estate. Legal fees associated with the court battle have cost the city $78,000 as of June, according to copies of invoices ob- tainedthrougha Right toKnowrequest. The decision to file a new appeal was criticized by Cole’s attorney, Paul Perl- stein, who contends it is pointless as the city has no legal basis to continue the legal fight. The case focuses on the city’s right to attach a $500,000 settlement Cole re- ceived from the driver of the other car involved in a 1996 collision with his po- lice cruiser. Cole never received the money, which has been held in escrow by the trustee appointed to oversee the bankruptcy filing Cole made in 2007. The city has been attempting to ac- cess that money to recoup part of the $450,000 in Heart and Lung benefits it paid Cole, who was off the job for nine years before returning to work in 2005. Pennsylvania law allows an employer to attach workers’ compensation bene- fits if an employee recovers money from the third party who caused the injury. There has been a dispute over whether that same provision applies to Heart and Lung benefits, which are similar to workers’ compensation. In 2009, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Heart and Lung and workers’ compensation were essentially the same, therefore city was entitled to seek the money. But that decision was negated in May by a ruling issued by U.S. District Judge James Munley. Munley’s decision was based on a state Supreme Court ruling issued in Ja- nuary that said Heart and Lung benefits are not subject to attachment. The city had argued that ruling should not apply to Cole’s case because it was issuedafter Third Circuit decision. But Munley, citing a previous U.S. Su- preme Court rulinginanother case, said federal law states that he must base his decision on the state law that was in ef- fect at the time the federal case was be- ing reviewed. Cole’s case, which had been returned to Munley for a ruling in a separate mat- ter bythe ThirdCircuit Court, remained active. That meant the January ruling by the state Supreme Court did apply to Cole’s case, Munley said. The city appealed Munley’s latest rul- ing to the Third Circuit Court in June. Perlstein said the city continues to ar- gue Munley did not have authority to negate the Third Circuit’s ruling, but has failed to cite any case law support- ing its position. The U.S. Supreme Court ruling is irrefutable, he said, therefore he believes any further ap- peals are pointless. In a prepared statement released by the city, Thomas MacNeely, the city’s at- torney, said he is confident the city will prevail in the latest appeal. MacNeely said the case is important to the city be- cause it will set a precedent that could affect future cases. “Far fromwastingthe taxpayers’ mon- ey, the city is acting in the best interests of its taxpayers by not only asserting its rights to the funds that are at issue in this case, but also by protecting its rights in similar cases that may arise in the future,” MacNeely said. Perlstein disputed that. He said all fu- ture cases involving Heart and Lung benefits will be ruled upon based on the precedent set by the January ruling is- sued by the state Supreme Court. Cole’s case will have no bearing. “I understand they don’t like losing, but I don’t know what the basis of their appeal is,” Perlstein said. W-B again appeals ruling it can’t claim officer’s cash The long-running case grows out of a 1996 collision involving a police officer and his settlement money. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER

Howabout a star with the number 5 or 6 in the center drawn on the wall in his or her bedroom along with some groups of letters? Some of these symbols – combined withother factors suchas certaintypes of behavior – could be signs that your child is in a gang or wants to be, said two agents withtheFederal Bureauof Investi- gation’s Safe Streets Task Force, who gave a gang awareness presentation to more than 50 area parents, residents and members of law enforcement Monday at the borough municipal building. Sponsored by the Duryea Neighbor- hoodCrime Watchandthe Duryea Police Department, the presentationwas aimed at educating residents about gangs so they could help police if signs of gangs appear, said crime watch representative Trina Moss. Duryea Police Chief Nick Lohman said he didn’t think Duryea has a gang prob- lem, but hewants residents tobeawareof signs of gangs in case they do crop up. “We’re directly in the middle between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre and there are a lot of drug arrests on Main Street. (Drug traffickers) think if they stay off the Interstate and take side roads, they can avoid state police. So we want to make our officers aware of the gang pres- ence in the area, as well as officers from other communities,” Lohman said.

According to Mary Catherine Roper, staff attorneyfor theAmer- ican Civil Liberties Union Penn- sylvania office, the organizationis looking for a volunteer among its active membership to attend the next council meeting. Council is scheduledtomeet inworksession Aug. 9andinregular sessionAug. 11. “Our volunteer won’t engage in any question-and-answer ses- sion.” Roper said. “He (or) she will be there just to be our eyes andears andreport backtoour of- fice.” Roper responded to e-mails from Mark Robbins, the Forty Fort manwhospokeat last week’s council meeting alleging a kick- back and bribery scheme among the city’s contracted towing com- pany, LAG Towing, Mayor Tom Leighton and the city’s police chief. Robbins contends he was overcharged for the tow. He also took exception to the way he and other people, such as Bob Kadlu- boski, the city’s former towing contractor, are treated at council meetings. When contacted Monday, Roper said she will write a letter to city council regarding com- plaints she has received. “The letter will be a lecture on groundrules,” Roper said. “Hope- fully, theywill get theletter before they enact newrules.” Council Chairwoman Kathy Kane is proposing changes to the protocol for public input at coun- cil meetings. She said she is con- cernedaboutthedecorum, orlack of it, at recent meetings. Kanesaid she has asked the city attorney to offer language for a resolution that would call for possible sanc- tions or penalties for people who show a pattern of disruptive be- havior at meetings. “You can’t require people to act with decorum,” Roper said of Kane’s idea. “Adversarial condi- tions are never productive, but people – including those holding elective office – are protected by the First Amendment.” Ropersaidtimelimitsonpublic comment are common with most public entities. “There are norules that require elected officials to respond at all topubliccomment orthat theylis- tenattentively,”shesaid. “Theon- ly requirement is that they allow the public to speak.” Melissa Melewsky, media law counsel for the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association, said the Sunshine Act contains guidelines for the way public meetings should be conducted. “Five minutes seems to the common time for public input,” she said. “But there should be some flexibility. If a person needs more time to air their concerns, depending on the circumstances, additional time should be grant- ed. A stopwatch type of adminis- trationof that typeof policycanbe problematic.” Roper said a person addressing council should not be cut off be- causeof what heor shechooses to talk about, unless it’s “completely unrelated to council business.” She also talked about the issue of name calling at meetings. Kadluboski was called “cup- cake” byKaneandbyLeightonon separate occasions. “I am sorry if the gentleman is insulted by being called a cup- cake, but that’snot alegal matter,” Roper said.

[email protected] PITTSBURGH — A western Pennsylvania woman filed a law- suit claiming that local officials improperly seized her newborn son after a positive drug test re- sulted from her having eaten sal- ad dressing containing poppy seeds. The lawsuit is the second in a year accusing Lawrence County Children and Youth Services and Jameson Hospital of improperly taking a newborn because of flawed drug testing. Eileen Ann Bower, a Lawrence County resident whose residence and age were not provided, gave birth to a son, Brandon, on July 13, 2009, according to a com- plaint filed Friday. She had re- ceived prenatal care and passed every drug test, and was stunned when a blood test at Jameson Hospital came back positive for opiates, according to the lawsuit. Her son was taken into foster care three days after birth and re- turned 75 days later, according to the complaint, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press. Bower saidshe hadeatena pas- ta salad made with Salad Su- preme dressing withpoppy seeds immediately before going into la- bor. She is suing the county agen- cy, a caseworker and Jameson Health Systemfor negligence, in- vasion of privacy and violation of due process. Messages left by The Associat- ed Press for Lawrence County Children and Youth Services Di- rector Jane Gajda and for Jame- son Hospital were not immedi- ately returned Monday. Litigation in a similar lawsuit filed by another mother last year is ongoing.

TRIPOLI, LIBYA Report: Meeting with U.S. The Libyan government spokesman said Monday that representatives of Moammar Gadhafi’s embattled govern- ment held face-to-face talks with U.S. officials on repairing ties between the nations. There was no independent confirma- tion that such a meeting took place and the United States has been a strident opponent of Gadhafi’s government throughout the civil war with rebel forces based in the east of the country. Spokesman Moussa Ibrahim told reporters in Tripoli that the purported talks were held Saturday but he refused to say where or which officials took part. ROCHESTER, N.Y. Police: Bus tire blew out A tour bus likely had a front tire blowout just before it veered off a high- way and overturned, killing two pas- sengers and injuring 35 people, three seriously, state police and a company spokesman said Monday. The driver of the Niagara Falls- bound bus, which was carrying Indian nationals from Washington, D.C., lost control Sunday and ran off Interstate 390 into woods near Avoca, 55 miles south of Rochester. The bus driver, 58-year-old John Dinardo Jr., had no history of driving violations or criminal activity and his logbook was in order, New York State Police Superintendent Joseph D’Amico said. “There is no evidence of any excess speed, of any alcohol, of any driver fatigue or of any other violation,” D’Amico said. WASHINGTON Nuke safety changes urged Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko is urging his agency to decide within 90 days how to proceed with safety changes intended to improve the U.S. nuclear industry’s response to catastrophic events such as the tsunami that crippled a nuclear plant in Japan. A task force appointed by the NRC said last week that nuclear plant oper- ators should be ordered to re-evaluate their earthquake and flood risk. The task force also recommended adding equipment to handle simultane- ous damage to multiple reactors and ensuring electrical power and instru- ments are in place to monitor and cool spent fuel pools after a disaster.

John Allen, for- mally took control of the war in Afghanistan on Monday, in- heriting a nearly decadelong conflict that has cost the lives of at least 1,668 American troops. Allen succeeds Gen. David H. Petraeus, who is leaving to head the CIA. Petraeus had been in command for only a year, hastily taking the helm after President Barack Obama forced out Gen. Stanley McChrystal after Rolling Stone magazine reported in- temperate comments by his staff about the administra- tion’s civilian leadership. Petraeus’ tenure coincided with the arrival of a “surge” of U.S. troops, and the military said the extra manpower yielded battlefield dividends, particularly in Afghanistan’s south. But senior command- ers have described these gains as fragile and reversible, and some military officials have voicedfears that the American drawdown that began this month will leave remaining troops particularlyvulnerable. Moreover, the danger level has steadily increased for Af- ghan civilians. The United Na- tions reported last week that noncombatant deaths jumped by15 percent inthe first half of the year. Insurgents were blamed for four-fifths of those fatalities, but many Afghans lay the responsibility for the growing danger of daily life at the doorstep of foreign troops. Allen takes command at a time when many U.S. lawmak- ers are looking for ways to cur- tail the U.S. presence in Af- ghanistanandNATOallies are looking for ways to scale back their presence. Afghan troops aretakingsecuritycontrol this month of seven cities or areas, a process that began this week with the formal transfer of re- sponsibility in Bamiyan, one of Afghanistan’s safest prov- inces.

Given their wais- tlines, heart disease and diabetes should be atop that list, too. Boomers are more obese than other generations, a new poll finds, setting them up for un- healthy senior years. And for all the talk of “60 is the new 50” and active aging, even those who aren’t obese need to do more to stay fit, according to the Associated Press-Life- GoesStrong- .com poll. Most baby boomers say they get some aerobic exercise, the kind that revs up your heart rate, at least once a week. But most adults are supposed to get 2 1 ⁄2 hours a week of moderate-intensity aerobic ac- tivity—things likea briskwalk, a dance class, pushinga lawnmow- er. Only about a quarter of boom- ers polled report working up a sweat four or five times a week. Worse, 37 percent never doany of the strengthtrainingneededto fight the muscle loss that comes with aging. Walking is their most frequent formof exercise. The good news: Walk enough and the benefits add up. Based on calculation of body mass index from self-reported height and weight, roughly a third of the baby boomers polled are obese, comparedwithabout a quarter of both older and young- er responders. Only half of the obese boomers say they are regu- larly exercising. An additional 36 percent of boomers are overweight, though not obese. The nation has been bracing for a surge in Medicare costs as the 77 million baby boomers, the post-war generation born from 1946 to 1964, begin turning 65. Obesity — with its extra risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis — will further fuel those bills. “They’re going to be expensive if they don’t get their act togeth- er,” said Jeff Levi of the nonprofit Trust for America’s Health. He points toastudythat foundMedi- care pays 34 percent more on an obese senior than one who’s a healthy weight. About 60 percent of boomers polled say they’re dieting to lose weight, and slightly more are eat- ing more fruits and vegetables or cutting cholesterol and salt. But it takes physical activity, not just dieting, to shed pounds. That’s especially important as people start to age. Poll finds obesity is a boomer problem Staying fit with age will be a challenge for a giant segment of the population.

WASHINGTON — With the deadline swiftly approaching for a deal to resolve thedebt-ceilingcrisis, thevolumeonCapi- tol Hill is about to be cranked up to “11.” House Republicans are pushing ahead with votes this week on a proposal backed bychamber conservativesthat wouldraise the debt ceiling the required $2.4 trillion but would ultimately cap government spendingat18percent of thenation’s gross domestic product, require Congress to pass a balanced budget each year, and slash more than $110 billion fromthe 2012 fiscal year budget. The measure, which may pass the Housebyamajorityvotebut isexpectedto go nowhere after that, is either a final, de- fiant —albeit symbolic —standby House Republicans before acceding to a compro- mise on the debt ceiling or a formal show of intransigence that illustrates how diffi- cult it will be for the House to sign off on any deal that includes President Barack Obama’s signature. The White House Monday wasted no time twisting the dial, with the president threatening to veto the House bill, even though there’s little chance it can pass the Senate. At anyrate, it appears that withtheAug. 2 deadline for a debt-limit increase loom- ing, things will slow down for a bit before they speed up. Republican leaders in the HouseandSenatehaveindicatedthat they want tofoldintime for a floor debate inor- der to mollify conservatives on both ends of the Capitol, who are certain to squawk long and hard about any final deal that does not include the kind of significant spending cuts they seek. That doesn’t meanbothsides have stop- pedtalking. Senateleaders areworkingon a budget proposal that would cut $1.5 tril- lion, while other reports have House Speaker John Boehner and the White Housestill workingonsomeversionof the “grandbargain” that couldwipeout $4tril- lionor morefromthebudget over thenext decade but wouldalso likely include some elements of entitlement-program reform as well as a some accord on modifying the tax code. Then there is the in-case-of-emergency- break-glass optionthat was floatedbySen- ateMinorityLeader MitchMcConnell last week, which involves a dose of procedural flim-flammery that would provide the White House with a debt-ceiling increase tostaveoff economic calamitywhilehand- ingtheGOPsomepolitical coverbyvoting on the record against the increases. But the attention, at least for the next couple of days, will fall on the House. The proposal being offered would force federal spending to fall below 20 percent of GDP by 2021, which would require massive spending cuts, likely including the Penta- gon or entitlement programs or both.

MCT News Service ORLANDO, Fla. — Casey Anthony’s whereabouts for her first week of freedom were a closely guardedsecret Monday, known only to a select few as she tries to start a newlife after being acquitted of killing her daughter. One of her lawyers says an elaborate plan was made to protect her from peo- ple with “the lynch-mob men- tality.” Her options for starting a new life could be limited by lawsuits pending against her, the scorn of multitudes who think she was guilty of the kill- ing and a criminal record from her convictions for lying to po- lice. She walked out of jail on Sunday, shortly after midnight. Her attorney Cheney Mason told NBC’s “Today Show” on Monday that he’s confident in Anthony’s safety, but declined to answer questions about where she was. “She’s gone, she’s safe and elaborate plans had to be made to keep the people away from her,” Masonsaid. “Her lifeis go- ingtobe very difficult for a very longtime as longas there are so many people of the lynch-mob mentality.” Asked about how Anthony was paying for her fresh start, Mason replied that many vol- unteers have offered their help. Her notoriety couldalso help her earn money. Experts who havehelpedother notorious de- fendants through rough times say she will have opportunities, but it won’t be easy for the 25- year-old, who was found not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, but convict- ed of lying to investigators. In response to a question about whether Anthony planned to cash in on her fame, her lead attorney, Jose Baez told Fox News Channel late Sunday that she has “certain rights as an individual in this country.” Attorneys planned to handle Anthony’s affairs in a “dignified manner,” he said. “If she decides she wants to speak publicly about it, she’ll make that decision,” he said. Another former Anthony lawyer, Terry Lenamon, said he had no clue where she was headed, and that probably only a few people close to her knew.

Dave Baloga, second vice chair- man for the local political organiza- tion, said he got the idea for the benefit after speaking to several of Balester’s friends, who wanted to do something to honor his memo- ry. “Jonathan was very adamant about being a friend to anyone who was in need. He was always con- cerned about doing the work of the Lord,” Baloga said. “This is a nat- ural extension of something we can do to remember him.” Balester, 56, was found dead in- side his Kingston Township home on May 27. An autopsy determined he died of multiple stab wounds. His death, whichhas beenruleda homicide, remains under investiga- tion, according to the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office. Baloga said he got to know Bal- ester through his work with Wyom- ing Valley Chapter of Pennsylva- nians for Human Life Crisis Preg- nancy Center. Net proceeds from the dinner will benefit the organiza- tion. “It was something that was very dear and important to him. Every- one of his friends had the same sen- timent that this was a worthy cause to support,” Baloga said. The dinner, a Southern-style bar- beque, will be at 5 p.m. Aug 13 at the Lakeside Skillet, 279 Lakeside Drive, Harveys Lake. The dinner will include chicken, barbequed pulledpork, vegetables, strawberry shortcake and iced tea. The benefit will also feature mu- sic andactivities, as well as a basket raffle.

Lou Barletta raised more than $258,000 in campaign cash during the year’s second quar- ter, and the Hazleton Republi- can soon may have a formal opponent against whom to spend all that money. Democrat William Vinsko Jr., a lawyer with his own prac- tice and an assistant city attor- ney for Wilkes-Barre, said Monday in a phone interview he plans to soon make an an- nouncement about whether he will challenge Barletta in 2012. Vinsko said a “decision has been made,” but would not re- veal his plans. It appears, how- ever, that Vinsko is poised to make a run against Barletta. Barletta had $229,581 on hand as of June 30 after raising $258,287 during the quarter, according to his campaign fi- nance report filed Friday. Bar- letta’s campaign committee al- so carries a debt of about $74,000. The freshman Republican defeated longtime incumbent Paul Kanjorski last year. Pennsylvania Republicans will be looking to shore up Barletta’s 11th congressional district when the post-census lines are drawn this year, but Democrats believe the district will remain Democratic-lean- ing in its makeup. The nonpartisan, Washing- ton-based Cook Political Re- port as of July 14 rated Barlet- ta’s district as one of 10 GOP- held “tossup” seats for the 2012 campaign. Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Tom Marino, R-Lycoming Town- ship, last quarter raised con- siderably less money than Bar- letta. But Marino, a freshman lawmaker who won his seat in 2010 by defeating Democrat Chris Carney, also seems to face less political pressure, at this point, in his 10th congres- sional district. Marino raised $107,518 dur- ing the second quarter and had $124,913 on hand as of June 30. He has no announced oppo- nent and the Cook Political Report so far does not place Marino on its list of compet- itive House races for 2012. Carney may be eyeing an- other run, but not necessarily against Marino, said one local Democrat. Depending on how lines are drawn, Carney could run against Barletta, setting up a potential primary battle to take on Barletta if Vinsko an- nounces in the next few weeks that he is in the race. Carney could not be reached for comment. The Cook Political Report notes that its “ratings are sub- ject to dramatic changes as new maps are finalized in 2011 and 2012.” Vinsko may challenge Barletta in 2012 Barletta may need campaign cash raised if Democratic lawyer enters the race. By JONATHAN RISKIND Times Leader Washington Bureau NUANGOLA — Borough council acted Monday evening to implement a $3 million bank loan for a sanitary sewer sys- tem that has been proposed for construction in 2014, but at the same was informed of the pos- sible revocation of a $3.2 mil- lion federal grant that is part of $6.2 million in the overall fund- ing for project. Under what Council Chair- woman Regina Plodwick called Ordinance No. 2, council voted 6-0 to underwrite the Fulton Bank of Lancaster loan package that will be issued to the Nuan- gola Sewer Authority. The sys- tem is projected to traverse through Rice and Dorrance townships. In a letter from Susanne K. Gantz, community programs director for the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture dated June 27, it was alleged that the bor- ough has failed to act in a time- ly manner. Gantz specifically took issue with a 2014 start. Gantz set a moratorium that construction bids must be ad- vertised no later than Nov. 1, 2011, and they be awarded by Jan. 31, 2012. She said that if these dead- lines are not met, the grant funds will be “de-obligated” and returned to the federal gov- ernment, with Nuangola hav- ing no recourse for other feder- al funding. Part of Gantz’ commentary referred to the borough’s failure to secure support funding, but it was noted that that issue was resolved through the loan agreement signed with Fulton Bank. Councilman John Ko- chan, chairman of the sewer au- thority, said also the authority has a new plan that he said was formulated by Quad 3 Engi- neers of Wilkes-Barre and “we are moving forward.” Council said these actions contradict Gantz. In addition, Melissa Weber, secretary-treasurer, said she has been in communication with the office of U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, and she has a preliminary commitment from him that he will act to sus- tain Nuangola’s grant funds. The sewer systemdominated comment at the session, al- though, in conjunction with the project, Plodwick said council met in executive session to dis- cuss litigation filed by Milnes Engineers of Tunkhannock and issues relating to $309,000 in funding from Citzens Bank. Attorney Patrick Healy of Lancaster served as Fulton Bank representative for the signing of official documents implementing the loan to the sewer authority. Nuangola scrambles to avoid grant loss At stake is $3.2 million in sewer funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

DJ SAT. 9-1 PHYLLIS HOPKINS BAND BEAR CREEK TWP. -- Stu- dents will need an extra nickel to get a breakfast or lunch at the Bear Creek Community Charter School, and school of- ficials said newgovernment re- quirements are to blame. The school’s board of trust- ees voted Monday to increase the price of breakfasts from $1 to $1.05, while lunches will go from$1.75 to $1.80, a move the school’s CEOJimSmith said is necessary to comply with the requirements of the Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010. Smith said that even though the school’s meal programruns efficiently enough to generate a small surplus, the new act sets aspecific formulafor pricing. Under that formula, he said, the meals are underpriced and need to be increased, which will likely increase the surplus. He said the surplus of a few thou- sanddollars is reinvestedintothe program through things like spe- cial free lunch days and small equipment purchases. The board discussed other op- tions to compensate for the price increase, such as increasing por- tionsizes, but Smithsaidthe gov- ernment also regulates portion sizes and the types of foods that are served. The board also: •Ratified the purchase of 22 Dell OptiPlex 790 ultra small form factor student computers/ monitors with Microsoft licens- ing and four years of support for $27,608. •Ratified the purchase of one Dell PowerEdge R710 server, Mi- crosoft Server 2008 and a three year service plan for $5,466. •Approved the Bear Creek Foundation’s request to replace the school’s front door and side- lights for a cost of $7,525. The Foundation owns the school building. •Accepted the resignation of Paulette Ashton. •Approved the hiring of Jillian Everett as a full-time language arts instructor for fifth and sixth grade at salary of $33,000. Price hike on menu for charter school meals The increase of five cents a meal will meet a federal rule, the school CEO says. By JANINE UNGVARSKY Times Leader Correspondent HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett’s transportation funding commission on Monday en- dorsed a mixture of revenue sources to generate about $2.5 billion in additional annual spending for Pennsylvania’s roads, bridges and mass transit. There were no “no” votes cast and only a single abstention as the commission voted to recom- mend increased wholesale taxes on oil companies, higher vehicle and driver registration fees and to dedicate a fraction of sales tax- es for mass transit needs. Its final report to the governor, due Aug. 1, will lay the ground- work for potential talks between Corbett and the Legislature after Labor Day on a long-term ap- proachtotransportationfunding. A key element of those talks will be a list of the projects the state could complete over the next decade if the money is ap- proved. That list is currently be- ing developed internally by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, with input from local and regional transportation planning organizations, and could be on the PennDOT web- site by the end of August, said Transportation Secretary Barry Schoch. “I think everybody deserves to say, ‘If you are charging me, what do we get for it?’ ” said Schoch, who presided over the meeting. The Transportation Funding Advisory Commission, all Cor- bett appointees, consisted of gov- ernment officials, people who work in the transportation indus- try, representatives of mass tran- sit and others. They were direct- ed at the start not to consider raising the gasoline tax that driv- ers pay at the pump.

Much of their presentation on Monday was focused on helping parents identify signs of gang in- volvement by their children. Jackie Stefanowicz of Duryea questioned the agents about lo- cally employing gang deterrent tactics used in Los Angeles, such as having marked patrol vehicles with volunteers patrol areas where gang members and drug traffickers would likely hang out. The agents said such initia- tives are good ideas, but finding local funding can be an issue. Adam Chase of Old Forge said his children attend school in Du- ryea andhe thought the presenta- tion would be a “good opportuni- ty to learn something about the potential for trouble from gangs. … You can’t get enough informa- tion. Information is powerful.” The agents gave a slide pre- sentation showing some of the symbols and numbers associated with gangs, including sports items and graffiti, tattoos and hand signs, and gang-influenced music and movies. They also dis- cussed changes in behavior that could be indicative of gang invol- vement. GANGS Continued from Page 3A What to look for Early adolescent years (ages 12 to 14) are a crucial time when youths are exposed to gangs and may consider joining a gang. Youths who are becoming involved in a gang may exhibit the following behaviors: • Negative changes in behavior such as withdrawing from family, declin- ing school attendance, staying out late without reason, unusual desire for secrecy, confrontational behav- ior, sudden negative opinions about law enforcement or authority fig- ures. • Unusual interest in one or two particular colors of clothing or a logo. • Interest in gang-influenced music, videos and movies. • Use and practice of hand signals to communicate with friends. • Peculiar drawings or gang symbols on school books, clothing, notebooks or even walls. • Drastic changes in hair or dress style and/or having a group of friends with the same hair or dress style. • Withdrawal from longtime friends. • Presence of firearms/ammunition or other weapons. • Non-accidental physical injuries (indicative of accepting a beating for gang initiation). • Unexplained cash or goods, such as clothing or jewelry. What parents can do • Talk to your children about gangs and ways to avoid them and let them know you disapprove of gangs and do not want to see them hurt or arrested. • Tell your children not to associate with gang members, not to hang out where gangs congregate, not to attend any party or social event sponsored by gangs, not to use any kind of hand or finger signs that may be meaningful to gangs and not to wear clothing that may have mean- ing to gangs in your area. • Get to know your children’s friends and the friends’ parents. • Talk to your children about ways to deal with pressure from friends. • Set firm limits with your children and teens. • Plan family time. • For more information, visit time- sleader.com for a links to the Par- ents’ Guide to Gangs from the Na- tional Gang Center or call (850) 385-0600, extension 224. A N T I - G A N G T I P S F O R PA R E N T S PITTSTON TWP. -- There is a new policy in the yard waste program for res- idents. The program has an over- whelming demand and the supervisors are changing the schedule so that it will be picked up the second Friday of each month in Up- per and Lower Browntown, Cork Lane including Te- drick and Markets streets west of the By-Pass. It will also be collected from Stauffer Heights, Center Street, Laurel Street, Doty Street, Mill Street, Horizon Estates and Stauffer Pointe. The fourth Friday of each month will include Butler Heights and Highway 315, Suscon, Langans Road, Poco- no Ridge Estates, Houston City, Packer Street, Glen- dale, Route 502 and Quail Hill. Supervisors reminded resi- dents that tree branches must be bundled and tied. Any other yard waste must be in containers that do not weigh more than 30 pounds. Residents must call the township building to arrange to have their yard waste picked up between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled pickup date as stated above. Supervisor Stephen Rinal- di wanted residents to know that “whatever they can pick, they can dispose of.” In other matters, residents asked the supervisors if they can add more officers to the police department staff. Supervisors said they are doing everything they can to add more police. Residents also said they wanted the many potholes on the corner of Armstrong and Suscon to be patched. Rinaldi said all work that needs to be done is being ad- dressed and will be complet- ed on a timely basis. A minor subdivision on West Chapman Street was ap- proved by supervisors. The planning and zoning were in line, and this led the supervisors to approve the subdivision. Pittston Twp. changes pickup schedule The supervisors say they are working to beef up the police force. By JIMMORRISSEY Times Leader Correspondent PARIS—Alarge studyinolder veterans raises fresh concern about mild brain injuries that hundreds of thousands of Amer- icantroops havesufferedfromex- plosions in recent wars. Even concussions seem to raise the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia later in life, researchers found. Closed-head, traumatic brain injuries are a legacy of the Af- ghanistanandIraq wars. Body ar- mor is helping troops survive bombblasts, but thelong-termef- fects of their head injuries are un- known. The study, reportedMonday at the Alzheimer’s Association In- ternational Conference in France, challenges the current view that only moderate or se- vere brain injuries predispose people to dementia. “Even a concussion or a mild brain injury can put you at risk,” saidLaurie Ryan, a neuropsychia- trist who used to work at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and now oversees Alzheimer’s grants at the U.S. National Institute on Aging. The study was led by Dr. Kris- tine Yaffe, a University of Califor- nia professor and director of the Memory Disorders Clinic at the San Francisco VA Medical Cen- ter. The U.S. Department of De- fense and the National Institutes of Health paid for the work. “It’s by far the largest” study of brain injury and dementia risk, she said. “It’s never been looked at in veterans specifically.” Researchers reviewed medical records on 281,540 veterans who got care from Veterans Health Administration hospitals from 1997 to 2000 and had at least one follow-up visit from 2001-2007. All were at least 55 and none had been diagnosed with dementia whenthe study began. This older group was chosen because de- mentia grows more common with age, and researchers needed enough cases to compare those with and without brain injuries. Records showed that nearly 5,000of the veterans hadsuffered a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, ranging from concussions to skull fractures. Researchers don’t know how long ago the injuries occurred. Many participants were Vietnam War vets and their injuries were during active duty. None were due to strokes — those cases were weeded out. Over the next seven years, more than 15 percent of those who had suffered a brain injury were diagnosed with dementia versus only 7 percent of the oth- ers — a more than doubled risk. Injury is linked to dementia Study of older veterans raises concerns about brain injuries from explosions during war. By MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Medical Writer “He was a superhero when it came to fighting corruption. He could see troubles in elected officials and in those who lurk behind the scenes but whose hands control all.” Harry W. Skene The Forty Fort attorney eulogized former Luzerne County controller Steve Flood, who died Saturday at age 67. Skene had worked as Flood’s solicitor during an often contentious tenure beginning in 2002 in which Flood challenged county officials on several hiring and spending issues. Writer sees no debate on risks of ‘fracking’ T he natural gas companies in the Mar- cellus Shale region pose two very strong marketing weapons. They have advanced the perception that they offer a real solution to the problem of foreign energy dependence and they have man- aged to brand themselves as the cleanest and greenest of today’s fossil fuels. Neither of these contentions has proven to be true. It’s no longer a secret that Che- sapeake and other major natural gas play- ers have sold large slices of their oper- ations to the Chinese to satisfy the raven- ous energy demand in that part of the world. We apparently will see little benefit in the way of energy independence from domestic exploration. As to the clean and green issue, we have seen the evidence and heard the testimony of those people who have been wronged by these operations, and only the blind and ignorant among us do not appreciate the real horrors of the hydrofracturing process. Many people argue that there are two sides to this debate. I’m sorry, but there are not. “Fracking” contaminates ground- water, threatens the health of families and renders fresh water supplies useless. No debate there. The drillers employ a strategy that if you repeat a lie frequently enough, it becomes a truth. This strategy is effective but it cannot erase the trail of environmental destruction left by these profiteers wherev- er they choose to blast the shale. Land- scape is destroyed, wildlife is uprooted and the agencies put in place to protect our environment are bypassed. Ignorance of the facts might have served as an excuse in the early days of this issue but it can no longer offer sanctuary to those people who choose to turn their heads. This mining practice is horrific and destructive. It’s not too late to get involved. Contact your representatives and demand a mora- torium on fracking until we have time to study its consequences. JimSkrypek Dallas Obama’s telling words, but who will own ‘pain’ I really thought President Obama’s quote after a recent debt crisis session was illuminating: “Everyone acknowledged that pain will be involved politically on all sides.” I’m not sure if it would be the Repub- licans or Democrats who are willing to forfeit the largest portion of their salaries, health benefits and pensions. Gregory M. Suda Nanticoke A corporate takeover now unfolding in nation I t’s about time. After listening to the Republican Congress members constant- ly accusing President Obama and the Democrats of not submitting cost-cutting measures to reduce the country’s deficit, finally, Obama called their bluff. They are like a spoiled child stating, “I will cut only these programs and will not discuss raising taxes – or I’ll leave the discussions.” This selfish attitude has gone on long enough, and the American people are weary of their representatives in Con- gress playing a tit-for-tat game of politics while millions of families are losing their homes, losing their jobs and barely able to pay their bills. It’s about time these congressional mem- bers enact laws that will encourage banks and corporations to begin hiring people and begin getting this economy back on track. The longer the unemployment rate stays high and the housing market lags behind because banks that are profiting from the stimulus refuse to grant loans to reliable American families, the longer the economic downturn will continue. With the number of foreclosures, you would think the banks would change their attitudes and encourage some of the home- owners to pay smaller amounts on the existing mortgages to help them through these tough economic times. But if one watches the stock market returns daily, many large banks are profiting tremen- dously and unfortunately are not feeling “patriotic” enough to share some of the profits. An example of corporations and political pawns showing contempt for the middle class or poor of this nation is the recent decision by the Republican-loaded Su- preme Court that favored Wal-Mart over working-class women. If one doesn’t be- lieve that corporations are being given favorable treatment, research how many of those same judges voted to let corpora- tions have a big say in American elections. When President Obama called them out for that law when he delivered his State of the Union address, the judges said it was “unethical” for the president to do so. So the next time you chose a candidate to vote into office, please take the time to find out who or what corporation is back- ing him or her. Many of the recent Repub- lican governors (Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, etc.) were put into office through vast amounts of money donated by the sly Koch brothers, billionaires who recently had a meeting of their “puppet” governors in Vail, Colo., to give them marching or- ders. All this to create a situation that will continue to allow these corporate giants to have laws enacted in their favor that allow pollution to continue, and more important to stop the Democrats from winning elec- tions with the help of union-backed funds. In this way our country eventually will be run by aristocratic corporate giants, be they industry, banks or Wall Street enti- ties; and instead of a fair playing field for the American worker, they will become slaves of these giants running the govern- ment purely for profit without any consid- eration for the crumbling middle class or poor. M. Sivilich Dallas Kids should be cared for, not put on picket line I t is expected that taxpaying adults some- times will picket regarding issues that affect their jobs, taxes and lives; but it is disgusting to see children with signs. Aren’t 7- and 8-year-old children a little old for kindergarten? Parents who use their children as an excuse to solve their problems should be ashamed. Children shouldn’t be used as pawns to negotiate for full-day kindergarten at a cost the property owners cannot afford. If parents have to work to sustain their style of living, then they should be respon- sible for arrangements with a day care, not at taxpayers’ expense via the school sys- tem. Elaine Givens Plymouth Government actions don’t add up to much ‘cents’ T he government makes no “cents.” Newspapers, according to the law, print property listings from the tax claim office regarding people who owe back taxes, the first step in sheriff’s sale. We give millions in foreign aid to other nations. We are building roads, bridges and schools in Iraq, Afghanistan and else- where. Millions of Americans are receiving rent subsidies. Middle-class Americans pay their own mortgages and taxes. A young man or woman joins the mil- itary, serves one or two tours in Iraq or Afghanistan, comes home to find their parents home up for sheriff’s sale while he or she was helping to build schools, roads, bridges – with Americans tax dollars.

The Camden-based company hopes to whet the finicky appe- tite of consumers, who have found its healthier soup varie- tiesthat containlesssodiumless appetizing. But most Americans already consume more than the maximum 2,300 milligrams of sodium recommended daily. Campbell’s spokesman An- thony Sanzio said Friday that the company plans to raise the salt level from480mgto650mg in some varieties. It will still of- fer lower-sodium versions. The announcement was greeted warmly by business analysts, who predict more salt will again have consumers saying “M’m M’m good.” But it’s disappoint- ing that a company with a dem- onstrated record of social re- sponsibility is retreating on ef- forts to cut sodium. Most salt in food comes not from the shaker, but from proc- essed products. There has been some conflicting research, but most studies have linked in- creased sodium levels to high blood pressure – a risk factor for stroke, heart attack and other ailments. Light on the salt, please. The Philadelphia Inquirer OTHER OPINION: SALTY SOUPS Campbell’s move leaves bitter taste B OTHERED BY rude- ness and unruly con- duct at recent public meetings, certain Wilkes-Barre council mem- bers, including Chairwoman Kathy Kane, say something needs to be done to ensure ci- vility. No question. For starters, council mem- bers, rather than drafting a new ordi- nance aimed at fur- ther policing city res- idents and other peo- ple whoapproachthe podiumtovoicetheir thoughts, can modify their own sometimes boorish behavior. No more clock-watching during a citizen’s allotted5-minute com- ment period. No more exasper- ated looks or whispered ex- changes behind the council ta- ble. And definitely no more name calling. Kane’s dismissal of one speaker during a May meeting by saying, “See you, Cupcake” was not merely unprofessional; it was immature. Sure, we realize that these city council members, as with elected officials on township commissions and school boards, seldom get the credit they deserve for their roles in upholding democracy and in helping people. They certainly don’t deserve to be treated as stand-ins for the circus clown who repeatedly takes a pie in the face. But they should fully expect to hear from disgruntled con- stituents, whose gripes might or might not be legitimate. Free speech, for better or worse, is free to everyone, in- cluding the louts, the loud- mouths and the loons. Espe- cially the loons – whose “ludi- crous” ideas today might later become vindicated. In Wilkes-Barre, council members seemingly could ben- efit by improving their conduct. Per- haps each citizen speaker at the next city council session should hoist a large mir- ror, allowing coun- cil members to view themselves duringthepublicpresentations and literally reflect on their postures and composures. Make eye contact and listen intently. Give as much cre- dence to the person who is crit- ical or questioning as to the person delivering praise. Pay more attention to the speaker’s message thantohowmany sec- onds he, or she, has remaining before the 5-minute limit ex- pires – a “deadline” that shouldn’t be firmly followed. If a speaker becomes bellig- erent or otherwise misbehaves, let the police intervene. If the problempersists, yes, other ac- tion might be warranted. However, before Wilkes- Barre’s council draws up new sanctions and possibly dishes out temporary suspensions to rules breakers, it should first try extending more of this: Re- spect. OUR OPINION: W-B DECORUM Advice to council: Do unto others Give as much credence to the person who is critical … as to the person delivering praise. QUOTE OF THE DAY RICHARD L.

Making a change County remembers Steve Flood PHOTOS: Out for the day at the Big Tent Bazaar CLICK: “In my opinion, (it) will be one of the most significant invest- ments in health care in the greater Scranton region,” Wilson said. This isn’t the first time the two entities talked about combining. In August 2009, they signed a non-binding letter of intent to ex- plore possible ways to work to- gether, but four months later the talks ended with no partnership in place. If the merger does occur, it will be the latest reshaping of the health care landscape in North- eastern Pennsylvania, which would be led by two health sys- tems: Danville-based Geisinger and Franklin, Tenn.-based Com- munity HealthSystems, whichis a for-profit company. Geisinger operates two hospi- tals inLuzerneCounty-- Geisinger Wyoming Valley in Plains Town- ship and Geisinger South Wilkes- Barre. In recent years, CHS has target- ed this region for purchases. InMarch, aLackawannaCounty judge approved the $150 million sale to CHS of Scranton’s Mercy Hospital and affiliated facilities in Nanticoke and Tunkhannock. In May 2009, CHS purchased the Wyoming Valley Health Care System, which includes Wilkes- Barre General Hospital, for $271 million. Part of that deal included the promise of major upgrades, in- cluding a $50 million expansion that includes a newemergency de- partment. Ground was broken for that project last month. The merger wouldrequire anin- vestigation by the state Attorney General’s Office since CMC is a not-for-profit entity. The office would make sure no anti-trust is- sues would be raised and that the hospital’s donations andcharitable assets are protected. A message left with that office Monday was not immediately returned. Gladys G. Bernet, regional di- rector for marketing and public re- lations for the three CHS hospitals that were purchased from Mercy this year, declined comment on the potential merger. More changes may be instore in the region’s health care. Last month, Geisinger and Bloomsburg Health System an- nounced the signing of a non- binding letter of intent to explore the potential merger of the small- er Bloomsburg system into Geis- inger. MERGER Continued from Page 1A Andrew M. Seder, a Times Leader staff writer, may be reached at 570- 829-7269. The suit argues Flood’s state- ments were inaccurate and hurt the business. Flood had main- tained that his comments were justified. Sued over fees The other outstanding suit was filed in 2010 by a Philadel- phia law firm against Flood and his partner andguardian, Heath- er Paulhamus, claiming that the firm is owed $205,696 in legal fees for representing Flood in the libel suit. Wilkes-Barre attorney Robert C. Trichilo, who is representing Flood and Paulhamus, said Monday that the suit is still in the beginning stages of discov- ery. Trichilosaidhe andother law- yers at Brady&Grabowski, P.C., may be filing a separate suit against the county on behalf of Flood or his estate arguing that the county is responsible for the legal fees. The lawyers are re- searching a statute governing the payment of legal fees for county employees and depart- ment heads, he said. The county Retirement Board had initially voted to pay for Flood’s legal defense in the libel suit but reversed the decision shortly after Flood lost his bid for re-election in 2005. Thelawfirmseekingpayment – Schnader, Harrison, Segal & Lewis – also represented the re- tirement board in a 2003 racke- teering suit filed against past county officials and pension fund managers. A federal judge dismissedthat suit inNovember 2007. The county controller, com- missioners and treasurer sit on the retirement board, which oversees the employee pension fund. Publicized lawsuit The trade secrets lawsuit that ended in December had been highly publicized because it was filed against Flood and two state welfare officials challenging the release of a draft audit critical of the county’s $58 million, 20-year lease of PA Childcare’s Pittston Township juvenile center. The detention center was at the center of corruption charges later filed against former judges MarkCiavarellaandMichael Co- nahan, former center co-owner Robert Powell and center build- er Robert Mericle. Conahan had sealed the trade secrets suit, but the state Superi- or Court overturned that deci- sion after an appeal by The Times Leader. Federal authorities said Cona- han’s sealing without a hearing was one example of fraud com- mitted by Conahan in exchange for a bribe, according to an in- dictment against Conahan and Ciavarella. Court paperwork says PA Child Care discontinued and endedthe trade secrets suit with prejudice, which means it can’t file the claimagain in the future. PA Child Care’s Pittsburgh at- torney, Bernard M. Schneider, declined comment Monday on the reason for ending the suit. Allstate Insurance Co. also dropped a legal action against FloodandPAChildCareinJanu- ary, court records showed. The company’s suit argued that Flood’s personal umbrella insur- ance policy didn’t require the in- surer to defend Flood or provide any monetary compensation in the trade secrets suit. Flood, who served as controll- er from 2002 through 2005, has been credited by many for un- covering information and spark- ingthe federal investigationthat ledtocharges against Ciavarella, Conahan, Mericle and Powell.

FLOOD Continued from Page 1A Luzerne County commissioners ordered the county courthouse flag at half staff Monday in honor of former County Controller Steve Flood, who died Saturday. The flag will remain at half staff until Flood’s funeral on Thursday, Urban said. C O U R T H O U S E H O N O R Though he declined to pin- point blame, Liuzzosaid“most of the fixing requires a shift in the psychology of lawmakers.” Role of politics Bob Herbert, a Demos distin- guished senior fellowand former NewYorkTimes columnist, mod- erated the media teleconference and also talked about the role of politics in creating the problem. “We have ideology and politics standing in the way,” Herbert said. “Three generations ago, Amer- ica created our single greatest in- vention, not theInternet or thein- ternal combustion engine or the lightbulborthesolarpanel. Itwas the vast American middle class,” Herbert said. “This middle class didn’t just happen. It was the re- sult of agrandbargainamonggov- ernment, businesses and ordi- nary workers who all agreed on a set of shared values that basically said, ‘We believe that all Ameri- cans should have a decent life.’ ” Herbert said the agreements made it possible to have good- paying, meaningful jobswithben- efits, pensions and paid time off. He said chief executive officers typically earned 25 times the av- erage salary of his or her employ- ees. That hasnowrisento200times that average salary, and boards of directors and government- backed tax cuts and incentives have begun to take their toll on what Herbert called “The Ameri- can Dream.” To start to swing the momen- tumbacktoastrongmiddleclass, Herbert said the nation needs to refocus on job growth, investing ininfrastructureandcreatingsus- tainable jobs inindustries suchas alternative energy. And policies that help – and not harmthe mid- dle class – are essential. The report addresses several factors contributing to strains on the middle class of Pennsylvania. Among them are stagnant wages and an increased cost of college tuition. Overthelast 30years, inflation- adjusted median annual earnings for Pennsylvania workers (ages 18-64) have fluctuated with changes in the economy, the re- port shows. Pennsylvania’s median earn- ings peaked at $36,750 in 2003, beforefallingandthenrecovering in the last few years to $36,050. Though wages are below their 2003 level, they have grownsince 1980instepwiththerest of thena- tion. While annual earnings have in- creased in the past few years, the increase translates to a little over $2 more per hour. This is not in line with increased costs in ener- gy, education, food, gasoline and insurance. TuitioninPa. high The average college tuition in the state was at $10,761 for 2009- 10 academic year. That’s well above the national average of $6,829. Tuition costs have in- creasedexponentially inPennsyl- vania over the past generation, more than tripling over the past 25 years. This has an impact on the mid- dle class because a college degree makesabigdifferenceinearnings potential. In 2010, median earnings for workersage25to34withatleasta bachelor’sdegreewere$45,900in Pennsylvania -- more than 62 per- cent higher than the $28,356 a typical high school graduate in the same age range was earning. “College is more inaccessible than ever,” said Stephen Herzen- berg, theexecutivedirector of the Keystone Research Center. And it’s only getting more cost- lybecauseof statebudget tighten- ing that’s meant less funding for state-run or state-related univer- sities. For the 2011-12 school year, the state legislature reduced spend- ing at the 14 Pennsylvania State Systemof Educationuniversities, which includes Bloomsburg and East Stroudsburg, by about $70 million, or 14.5 percent. The state-related universities, such as Pittsburgh, Temple and Penn State, saw 19 percent funding cuts. Asaresult, tuitionratesaresky- rocketing at those schools next semester. Temple University is raising in-state undergraduate tuitionrates ninepercent this fall. As a point of reference, the cur- rent rate on inflation is 3.6 per- cent. And for those who do go to col- lege, their debt is high compared to their counterparts across the country. Seventy two percent of college graduates in Pennsylvania en- teredthe labor force withstudent debt in 2009, and their average debt —$27,066— was the sev- enthhighestinthenation, accord- ing to the report. While the CEOs and govern- ment were mentioned as contrib- utors, Herbert declined to place the blame on just one group. “There are a lot of people re- sponsiblefor thefixthat we’rein,” Herbert said. But to fix the problems, Liuzzo said, it will likelymeanhighertax- es. And that will hurt the middle class even more. “The rich will pay more, but they can afford it. The poor can’t pay it and so the middle class will befootingthebill,”hesaid. Thisis the trend of the past fewdecades. Andtheendresult, Liuzzosaid, is that “the rich get richer, the poor get richer and the middle class gets a little bit richer.” MIDDLE Continued from Page 1A park – until now.” Korona said she and her friends will take their children over to Kingston’s HamiltonPark, but she said getting there could be diffi- cult. “We walk everywhere,” she said. “It’s difficult to take a lot of kids on a bus.” Korona said a nearby newgated playground for toddlers is unusa- ble because of the construction project. “It’s all pretty frustrating,” she said. At last week’s City Council meeting, Councilman Tony Tho- mas Jr. said the concrete at the new$145,439 splash pad installed at the renovated park didn’t cure properly. Thomas said the con- crete had to be removed. ParrishPools, Hunt Valley, Md., is the subcontractor that did the original work, according to Drew McLaughlin, the city’s administra- tive coordinator. He said the general contractor is Bitting Recreation Co., Harris- burg. Parrish Pools was hired as a sub-contractor by Bitting through the COSTARS program, McLaughlin said. “The city is as eager to openthe splash pad as any resident or park visitor,” said Mayor Tom Leight- on. “The forecasted hot weather this week is exactly why I prior- itized building the splash pad for Coal Street, but the city was not going to accept or pay for work that was sub-par. The city is push- inghardfor it tobe openedintime for the end of the summer sea- son.” By the looks of things at Coal Street, the splash pad is weeks away from being completed. Vis- itors there said they haven’t seen workbeingdoneonthesplashpad since the beginning of July. Allen Schmidt, who brought three of his children to the park, saidhe was looking for something fun for the kids to do on a hot and humid day. “It’s so hot,” Schmidt said. “And no splash pad open, well, that’s not good. And nothing is being done. The city can’t get anything right.” William and Jacquelyn Morris of Wilkes-Barre brought there 22- month-old daughter, Ava, to the park. “A splash park is still a great idea,” Morris said. “At least it will be available next year.” Randy Bitting was unavailable for comment Monday anda call to Parrish Pools was not returned. McLaughlin said Bitting handled the firing of the previous subcon- tractor, and he is conducting the search for a new one. McLaughlin said the city will have a ribbon-cutting for the com- pleted recreational improve- ments, such as the basketball courts and toddler playground, in the near future. The city said the concrete vault failed an inspection by the city’s building code office. The vault holds the water filtration system and all of the plumbing that con- trols and operates the splash pad. McLaughlin said it would not cost the cityanyadditional money to correct the problem. Thomas saidthe splashpadwill be a welcome addition to Coal Street Park, which has undergone a$14millionfacelift inthelast two years. A splash pad is an area for water play that has no standing water and doesn’t require a life- guard or other supervision. Lydia Naperkowski said there could be water at Coal Street soon. “Maybe it will rain,” she said. SPLASH Continued from Page 1A PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER Damiana Schimdt, 8, of Wilkes-Barre, gets a push on the swings from her dad, Allen Schimdt, as her sister, Brooklyn, 6, looks on. The National Weather Service said it will be hot and humid all week, with temperatures in the 90s every day. Thursday’s high is expected to hit 97 degrees and the high on Friday will be 96. Temperatures will moderate next week when the high is expected to dip to 82 degrees on Monday. H O T T I M E S A H E A D “This is what I have to look forward to,” she said. There will be no air conditioning and an unbearable number of mosqui- toes at night. With much of the nation in the grip of a broiling heat wave, few people are hit as hard as the poor, and few places are poorer than the ramshackle communi- ties along the Texas-Mexico border known as “colonias.” The misery was widespread Monday, with the worst condi- tions blanketing a broad band from Texas to Minnesota and Dakotas. Seventeen states is- sued heat watches, warnings or advisories. And the heat index easily surpassed 100 degrees in many places: 126 in Newton, Io- wa; 120 in Mitchell, S.D.; and 119 in Madison, Minn. The high temperatures were nearly certain to persist for the entire week. Forecasters ex- pected the extreme discomfort to spread soon to the East Coast. In towns large and small, the withering heat was cruelest to those who could not afford air conditioning. Built at the edge of the des- ert, the colonias often lack elec- tricity and running water. Peo- ple bought the land before zon- ing regulations were adopted, hoping that utility services would follow. To finance her house, Esca- milla, who is 62, had to take out a loan against her funeral ser- vices and buy building materi- als recycled from demolition sites in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso. Norma Salazar, who shares a tiny trailer home with her hus- band and six children in Hori- zon City, on the outskirts of El Paso, has to rely on an evapora- tive cooler, a cheap alternative to air conditioning that sucks the hot, dry desert air through a mesh of water-soaked fibers. But it only cools half of the trailer, and when the heat climbs above 100, not even that. In downtown Minneapolis, where the heat index reached 106 degrees, the Salvation Ar- my’s Harbor Light Center threw open its doors for anyone who needed to cool off and drink a glass of ice water. Executive Director Bill Miller said he allowed about 200 peo- ple who slept at the shelter Sun- day night to stay instead being asked to leave in the morning. “We don’t have them leave when it’s this hot,” he said. “It’s hot enough to get dehydrated, especially if you’re drinking. In this heat, it could kill you.” Chicago officials opened six cooling centers, many of them in lower-income neighbor- hoods, along with hundreds of air-conditioned public build- ings such as libraries, park facil- ities and police stations. HEAT Continued from Page 1A C M Y K SPORTS S E C T I O N B THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2011 timesleader.com W ith a proud, gleeful trot, Shane Victorino rounded third base and headed for home. It was only then that Victorino dis- covered his high, arcing shot over the left field wall Sunday at Waterfront Park had been ruled a foul ball. “I said, ‘Thanks for letting me get all the way around third before telling me,’ ” Victorino said. So for the second time this month, Victorino’s game told a tale of blunder. He tripped while throwing fromthe outfield against the Toronto Blue Jays on July 3, which is howhe landed on the disabled list with an injured right thumb and why he spent this past week- end completing a minor league rehabil- itation assignment with Double-A Reading. “Another embarrassing moment. Why not?” Victorino said. “Two weeks to the day.” Yet, the today the Phillies get so much stronger, even boasting the best record in baseball, because Victorino returns Philadelphia’s lineup. Late-inning relief specialst Brad Lidge isn’t far behind. After throwing15 of his 16 pitches for strikes while working a scoreless sev- enth inning for Reading on Sunday, Lidge figures he’s one more rehab out- ing away fromresuming his role as the Phillies closer. He spent the first half of this year recovering froma right rotator cuff strain. But it’s Victorino’s absence that’s put a real strain on the Phillies, which is why his return may have the biggest impact on the team. The high-energy All-Star center fiel- der was hitting .303 with nine home runs and 34 RBI at the time of his in- jury. But more importantly, he solidi- fied the middle of the Phillies lineup after recently dropping to the team’s No. 5 hitter fromhis second slot in the batting order. Victorino’s presence behind cleanup man Ryan Howard gives a scoring- challenged Phillies offense much more potential and punch. Even if he’s not about to punch any- thing just yet with his still ailing thumb. “There’s going to be pain,” Victorino said. “There’s going to be some discom- fort there. I’ve just got to play through it.” He’s never just playing around. Anybody who’s watched Victorino can’t help admiring his all-out, all-the- time hustle and his penchant for deliv- ering in big moments. Remember his game-changing grand slamagainst C.C. Sabathia in the 2008 National League playoffs? Or Victori- no’s lunging grab of a shot to the gap against the Reds in last year’s postsea- son? He didn’t slowdown much during his rehab stint with Reading, hitting .500 in two games – even without his disputed long ball. “I thought it was over (in fair territo- ry),” Victorino said of his first-inning blast that hugged the left field line. “Obviously the umpire didn’t.” That didn’t stop himfromspending the rest of his Sunday hustling through center field and around the base paths. “That’s howI play the game,” Victori- no said. “I kind of play it at one speed.” It’s a non-stop ball of energy Phillies fans truly appreciate. Victorino is back in Philadelphia and heading toward the plate again. And this time, nobody’s going to stop him.

C M Y K THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2011 PAGE 3B ➛ M A J O R L E A G U E B A S E B A L L CHICAGO — Aramis Rami- rez and Carlos Pena homered to back a dominant start by Rodrigo Lopez, and the Chi- cago Cubs beat Philadelphia 6-1 Monday on a night when Phillies ace Roy Halladay left the game because of the heat. Halladay doubled over and was visited by a trainer after Starlin Castro led off the fifth inning with a single. Drew Carpenter came in to replace him. Halladay was drenched in sweat on a humid night in which the game-time temper- ature was 91. The heat clearly affected him. He gave up three runs and seven hits and took his first loss since May 15. Halladay had his first outing since starting for the National League in last week’s All-Star game and pitching two per- fect innings. Marlins 4, Mets 1 NEW YORK — Clay Hen- sley came off the disabled list to win his first major league start in three years, leading the resurgent Florida Marlins past the New York Mets. Mike Stanton hit a two-run double and slumping Mike Cameron followed with an RBI single for the Marlins, who have won nine of 10 to put themselves on the brink of climbing out of last place in the NL East. Florida improved to 15-9 under 80-year-old manager Jack McKeon, who took over after Edwin Rodriguez abrupt- ly resigned late in the team’s 1-19 June swoon. In the makeup of a May 17 rainout, Hensley (1-2) allowed one hit over five scoreless innings against a depleted Mets lineup. It was his 41st big league start — but first since July 24, 2008, for San Diego at Pittsburgh. Nationals 5, Astros 2 HOUSTON Michael Morse and Ryan Zimmerman home- red and Zimmerman drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth inning to give the Washington Nationals a in over the Hous- ton Astros. Laynce Nix added a pair of insurance runs with an RBI single after Zimmerman’s hit in the ninth. Braves 7, Rockies 4 DENVER — Freddie Free- man homered and drove in three runs and right-hander Derek Lowe handcuffed the Colorado Rockies over 6 1-3 innings in the Atlanta Braves’ 7-4 win Monday night. Lowe must have felt right at home in the unusually warm night in Colorado, and the sunshine actually helped him beat the Rockies for the second time in two weeks. N AT I O N A L L E A G U E R O U N D U P Halladay leaves start in loss The Associated Press Mets: Reyes likely off DL today NEW YORK Jose Reyes appears ready to come off the disabled list. The New York Mets star doubled and played six innings at shortstop Monday in a rehab game for Class-A Brooklyn. Mets manager Terry Collins says it looks as though Reyes will be activated Tuesday in time for the opener of a three-game series against St. Louis. Leading the majors with a .354 batting average and 15 triples, Reyes has been sidelined since July 3 with a strained left hamstring. He was eligible to come off the disabled list Monday, but the Mets wanted him to test his leg in a game first. Reyes went 1 for 3 and scored a run in Brooklyn’s 11-5 loss to Lowell. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Russell Martin drew a basebs- loaded walk with two outs in the top of the ninth inning, giving the New York Yankees a 5-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night. Robinson Cano, Mark Teixei- ra, Brett Gardner and Eduardo Nunez also drove in runs for the second-place Yankees, who rallied from a 4-1 deficit to remain 1 1 ⁄2 games behind the Boston Red Sox in the AL East standings. Rookie left-hander Alex Torres (0-1) yielded the win- ning run in his major league debut after New York loaded the bases on Curtis Grander- son’s single, an intentional walk to Nick Swisher and an- other walk to Andruw Jones. Martin worked Torres to a full count, fouled off a pitch and then took ball four to push Granderson across the plate. Red Sox 15, Orioles 10 BALTIMORE — Dustin Pedroia doubled in two runs to spark an eight-run eighth in- ning, and the Boston Red Sox got home runs from Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Josh Red- dick in a rout of the Baltimore Orioles. Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis and Darnell McDonald had three RBIs apiece for the Red Sox, who have won 13 of 15. The run includes a 16-inning affair against Tampa Bay on Sunday night in which Boston mus- tered only five hits. Showing very little signs of fatigue, the Red Sox banged out 16 hits in rolling to their seventh straight victory over the Orioles. Indians 5, Twins 2 Indians 6, Twins 3 MINNEAPOLIS — Lou Marson hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh inning and the Cleveland Indians completed a doubleheader sweep with a 6-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins, kicking off the important four-game series with a pair of victories at sweltering Target Field. Marson also doubled and scored in the fifth against Scott Diamond, who turned in a decent major league debut for the Twins but took the defeat. Fausto Carmona (5-10) came off the disabled list and won for only the second time in his last 12 starts, beating the heat to finish six innings with two runs allowed. Asdrubal Cabre- ra hit a three-run homer to lift the Indians to a 5-2 win in the matinee and added an RBI single in the nightcap. White Sox 5, Royals 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mark Buerhle lasted seven innings in another impressive start, and the Chicago White Sox capital- ized on an error by young shortstop Alcides Escobar to beat the Kansas City Royals on a steamy. Buehrle (7-5) hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in his last 14 starts going back to April 22, though his modest record doesn’t indicate how well he’s been pitching. The veteran left-hander, in the final year of a four-year, $56 million contract, allowed five hits while winning for the first time since June 9. Buehrle struck out three and walked one while throwing 111 pitches in 95-degree temperatures.

HOUSTON — Tests done Monday on Texas Rangers President Nolan Ryan showed no new heart prob- lems for the Hall of Fame pitcher, who was hospital- ized after experiencing discomfort over the week- end. Ryan, 64, “continues to improve,” the Rangers said in a statement. He is ex- pected to be released from a Houston hospital in a day or two. Ryan has a pre-existing heart condition that will continue being treated with medication, according to the team’s statement. He had a double-bypass oper- ation in 2000 and has a family history of heart dis- ease. He sought treatment after experiencing discomfort Sunday morning while at his home in Georgetown, located about 170 miles northwest of Houston. Ryan had been expected to join the Rangers in Ana- heim, Calif., on Tuesday night for the start of a three-game series between his AL West-leading club and the Angels, who are in second place, four games back. He was scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and to take part in a ceremony inducting Gene Autry, the Angels’ late owner, into the team’s Hall of Fame. Ryan holds the records for most no-hitters (seven) and strikeouts (5,714). He’s been running the Rangers since 2008 and became part-owner last summer. Texas went to the World Series for the first time last fall. Tejada leaves game with possible injury SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco Giants shortstop Miguel Tejada has left Mon- day’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a possible groin injury. Tejada had attempted to field Rafael Furcal’s sharp grounder in the third in- ning, but bobbled it for an error then slid to the turf. A team trainer came out to check on Tejada, as did San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy, before the three walked off the field together. Tejada, who was replaced by rookie Brandon Craw- ford, struck out in his only at-bat against the Dodgers’ Chad Billingsley.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L C M Y K PAGE 4B TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2011 THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com ➛ S P O R T S The Back Mountain Ameri- can Little League minor base- ball team is on a roll. The squad, comprised of 9 and 10 year-olds, won four consecutive games last weekend to claim the District 31 and Section 5 championships at North Poco- no. Now, the team has a chance to capture a state champion- ship. Coach Jeff Doggett’s team opens first-round play at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday in Milton against Warwick, the defending state champion in the age brack- et. “Warwick won the District 6 sectional tournament and they are a very strong team,” Dog- gett said. “They make plays in the field and run well. They also have good pitching.” According to Doggett, the two teams match well and he’s confident that Back Mountain American will be tough to beat. “Our biggest advantage is that we can hit,” he said. “We score a lot of runs and we also have very good pitching. I’m confi- dent we’re going to put runs on the board.” American had its back against the wall last week in the double- elimination tournament but re- sponded like champions. After dropping a 7-3 decision to North Pocono in the opener, American bounced back by win- ning four games. The team beat Wallenpaupack and North Poco- no, then posted two straight wins over Plains to lock up the title. “We have 12 kids that are a distinct privilege to coach,” Doggett said. “They’re very un- selfish and tough between the ears. They don’t get caught up in nonsense. They’re a credit to themselves, their families and our league.” American (8-1) also prides it- self by displaying sportsman- ship, he added. “We shake hands with the op- ponents, coaches and the um- pires after every game. It’s a ve- ry unselfish group of kids,” Dog- gett said, He credits assistant coaches Scott Answini and Mike Luksic for playing a key role in the team’s success. Doggett said the key to Wednesday’s game is to strike first. “We pitch and defend well enough to stay ahead,” he said. “We feel like we belong in the state tournament. We earned it by playing a lot of tough teams.” YO U T H B A S E B A L L SUBMITTED PHOTO Pictured are teammembers fromthe Back Mountain American’s 9-10 baseball team.

Members of the NFLPA ex- ecutive committee and repre- sentatives of every team were heading to Washington by Wednesday, in preparation for possible decisions on re-estab- lishing a union and signing off on a tentative pact with own- ers. Atallah said the players would be gathering “with the hope they have something to look at, and with the hope we can move forward on this.” Owners locked out players on March12, when the old col- lective bargaining agreement expired, leaving the country’s most popular professional sports league in limbo. The sides are trying to forge a set- tlement intime tokeepthe pre- season completely intact. The exhibition opener is supposed to be the Hall of Fame game be- tween the St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears on Aug. 7. The regular-seasonopener is scheduledfor Sept. 8, whenthe Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers are to host the New Orleans Saints. Philadelphia Eagles quarter- back Michael Vick tweeted Monday: “Soundlike we gonna be back to work so soon!!!” One issue standing in the way of a resolution, according to a person from each side of the dispute andspeakingtothe AP on condition of anonymity: Players want owners to turn over $320 million in unpaid benefits from the 2010 season. Because there was no salary cap that season, the old collec- tive bargaining agreement said NFL teams were not required to pay those benefits. On a separate matter, one of those people, as well as a sec- ond person familiar with the negotiations, also told the AP that a proposal currently under consideration would set up nearly $1 billion over the next 10 years in additional benefits for retired players. That would include $620 million in pen- sion increases, long-term care insurance and disability pro- grams. Representatives of re- tiredplayers are expectedto be in New York for Tuesday’s talks; that groupcomplainedto the court recently that it had been excluded from negotia- tions. At federal court in Minneso- ta, where the players’ antitrust suit is pending, their lawyers filed a motion Monday asking for a summary judgment that the lockout is illegal and that players are entitled to damag- es. The NFL, meanwhile, asked the court for a week’s ex- tension to file their formal re- sponse tothe lawsuit; the origi- nal deadline was Monday. Those filings were neces- sary, procedural moves that would be rendered moot if an agreement is reached before the Aug. 29 hearing date. Later Monday, the NFL and retired players filed a joint request to delay the hearing for at least a month to allow owners “to fo- cus on the continuing media- tion.” Atallah called the current players’ filing “an obligation to protect the members of the class.” “Obviously, if we come to a settlement, it all canbe liftedat any time,” he said.

Anthony Vitali and Kyle Windt joined Yost with 3-for-4 performances. Winning pitcher Tony Molitoris produced two doubles. Kyle Archer doubled for Back Mountain National.

W-B REC MINOR BASEBALL Hanover 12, West Side 8 Collin Cook struck out four in a relief appearance to pick up the win for Hanover. Hanover’s Shaun Gurnari (two hits, triple, two runs), Brett Stevens (double, two runs) and Cook (two hits, double, two runs) led the offen- sive attack. For West Side, Nate Baranski netted two hits and a run. Jake Packer scored twice, and Zach Davis singled.

YO U T H B A S E B A L L R O U N D U P Yost leads Hanover with extra base hits The Associated Press homer over the left-center field fence. The Kingston/Forty Fort lead was 3-0 after three innings. David McCue continued to swinga hot bat withanRBI dou- ble to center field. Maxwell scored from first after reaching on an infield single. The McCue double extended Kingston/For- ty Fort’s leadto 4-0 inthe fourth. Archbald got one back in the bottom half of the fourth. Ron- nie Yanoski led off the inning with a rocket double to left-cen- terfield. Mike Laboutillier then drew a walk to give Archbald runners onfirst andsecondwith nobody out. Evan Carey hit a ball toward left-centerfield gap, but Judge made a terrific catch at short- stop, then threwto first base for the double play. Blake Evans then put Archbald on the board with an RBI single to right field. However, one run was all Arch- bald produced in the fifth, as well as in the game. Judge extended the King- ston/Forty Fort lead to 5-1 with a solo shot way over the center- field fence. Judge, Maxwell and McCue led the Kingston/Forty Fort of- fense with two hits each. Mason Black pitched well in the losing effort for Archbald. He got his teamout of a big first inning jam by getting Zack Sott to fly out to left. He struck out three and walked just two. KFF Continued fromPage 1B at 11 a.m. Wednesday against the winner of the Back Mountain- Canton game. “Our backs are against the wall andI hopethekids comeout with some fire (today) because now we got nothing to lose,” Plains manager Don Stark said. “We felt goodcomingintoday, but we had some lapses and we need to fix those lapses.” The only inning whichRuchal- lowed two hits was the first. Plains only got one hit in the third, fourth, seventh and eighth. He struck out just four batters, but got a lot of help from his de- fense. The Back Mountain de- fense turned two double-plays. Third baseman Marc Noyalis started one of the twin-killings and also made a pair of back- handed grabs to save extra bases and get a groundout. “I had a fastball working today and I was throwing a two-seamer a little bit and I was getting them tohit it intothegroundandI have a great defense behind me which helps a lot in a nine-inning game,” Ruch said. “They (the de- fense) has been doing it all year behind our pitching and the pitching thanks them a lot.” Back Mountain jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first when Paul Narcum (3-for-5) and Deep Patel (2-for-3) started off the game with back-to-back dou- bles. Patel’s hit scored Narcum and then he scored on an RBI-sin- gle by Noyalis. That was more than enough of- fense for Ruch, but Back Moun- tain was far from finished as it scored one run in the third and sixth and put up three in the fourth and eighth to end the game early. Putting up double digit runs and getting strong pitching is how Plains won its first two games of the tournament as it played just 14 innings entering Monday’s game. But Monday wasn’t the best game for Plains. Starter Bob Sorokas only last- ed three-plus innings giving up eight hits. And Plains hurt itself witherrors withthe defense com- mitting three miscues. “They hit Bobby pretty well. He didn’t hit his spots like he wanted to and we didn’t help him out defensively either,” Stark added. Jim Graziosi was the lone mul- tiple hitter for Plains going 2- for-3 and had the only extra-base hit for the team with a double. Josh Everett (2-for-4) joined teammates Narcum, Patel and Ruch as multiple hitters for the winners.

We’ve got some more hills, some more rac- ing and a time trial to go.” Evans is third overall, 2:06 be- hind Voeckler, 17 seconds be- hind second-place Frank Schleck, nine seconds ahead of Andy Schleck — the runner-up toContador inthelast twoTours — and 1:54 ahead of Contador. “Voeckler is in incredible form,” Contador said. “He has a big lead, it will be hard to make that up.” None of the Tour contenders managed to cut loose in the three Pyrenean mountain stages last week, and someone has to make a big move in three puni- shing Alpine stages that loom. “I don’t want to arrive in Paris with regrets,” Contador said af- MONTPELLIER, France — Withthe Tour de France heading toward its decisive stages, there is still no favorite in a wide open race that is fueling the passions of French fans who hope Tho- mas Voeckler holds his lead against all odds. When racing resumes Tues- day after a rest day, Voeckler will open the 16th stage nearly two minutes ahead of Frank Schleck — supposedly a weaker rider than his younger brother, Andy — and four minutes ahead of three-time champion Alberto Contador. Voeckler remains fiercely ada- mant he has a “zero percent chance” to become the first French Tour winner since Ber- nard Hinault in 1985, while doubts persist about Contador’s troublesome right knee. Even the Schleck brothers seemunde- cided who is No. 1on their team, while two-time runner-up Cadel Evans is conspicuously staying out of the limelight. All of this means that it was in- ter Cavendishracedtohis fourth stage victory of the race — and 19th overall in the Tour — by beating American sprinter Tyler Farrar on a119.6-mile stage from Limoux to Montpellier. There should be plenty of op- portunities for Contador to at- tack the 32-year-old Voeckler in the punishing Alps later this week. But if the Frenchmandoes not crack, then the race is going to be decided on the penulti- mate stage time trial. Not that cycling fans are com- plaining. Voeckler’s unexpected rise to the top adds an extra layer of in- trigue because it has been 14 years since a Frenchman even got on the podium — let alone won the race. Voeckler has also become an extra, surprise, and welcome contender. Last year’s Tour was a duel be- tween Contador and Schleck, the year before it was Contador beating Schleck again, with sev- en-time champion Lance Arm- strong completing the podium. No great surprises there, even with Armstrong’s hyped return.

Voeckler has French fans excited By JEROME PUGMIRE AP Sports Writer NEWYORK—Lance Arm- strong’s attorneys say illegal government leaks of grand ju- ryinformationhavesulliedthe cyclist’s reputation, and have asked a court to order federal agents to discuss their con- tacts with the media. In a 20-page notice of al- leged violations filed Wednes- day in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, lawyers for the seven-time Tour de France winner cited more than a doz- en articles in many media out- lets from May 2010 through last month about an ongoing grand jury investigation into whether Armstrong used per- formance-enhancing drugs in violation of U.S. law. Thecyclist’s attorneys argue that only someone in the gov- ernment could be responsible for the leaks, and a judge should order the government toexplainwhyit shouldnot be held in contempt. In a last re- sort, the lawyers said, the court couldforce journalists to reveal their sources. “The leaker in this case has, fromthebeginning, actedwith the obvious intent of legitimiz- ing the government’s investi- gation of a national hero, best known for his role in the fight against cancer,” the court pa- pers said. “Each leak has been designed to propagate public support for this investigation by smearing Armstrong and tarnishing his reputation. The tactical nature of these leaks cannot be ignored as it strong- ly suggests an underlying par- tisanship inherent in govern- ment agents.” Armstrong’s lawyers ac- cused The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Il- lustrated and CBS’ “60 Min- utes” of reporting illegally leaked information. Oneof Armstrong’slawyers, John W. Keker, at- tached a statement detailing 26 media re- ports that reported the alleged illegal leaks. Responding to the notice, Lou Ferrara, AP’s managing editorforsports, said: “TheAP has been aggressive in cover- ingthis important story. APre- porters will continuetopursue the truth. This action will not stop us.” FiledbythesameCalifornia- based lawyers who represent- ed the Major League Baseball Players Association and suc- ceeded in having the govern- ment’s seizure of player drug tests and records declared ille- gal, the request for an order to show cause asks a federal court to require that all agents involved in the probe provide sworn statements detailing their contacts with media. The filing has 17 references to Jeff Novitzky, a Food and Drug Administration special agent who, in his prior job as anIRSspecial agent, ranthein- vestigation into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO). That probe led to theseizureof thebaseball drug list and the indictment of homerunkingBarryBonds. A prosecutor, Doug Miller, is named in the filing but no oth- er agent. Armstrong’s lawyers say the leaker was “potentially Novitzky himself.” “The leading government advocate for the Armstrongin- vestigation, Novitzky, was re- cently connected to an investi- gation riddled with leaks to some of the same reporters in- volved in this case and has a documented history of overre- aching and disregarding indi- vidual’s privacy rights,” Arm- strong’s lawyers wrote. Armstrong wants feds to discuss media talks By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer Armstrong SANDWICH, England — Dar- ren Clarke’s bleary, bloodshot eyes told it all. The party began shortly after he walked off the 18th green at Royal St. George’s with the claret jug in hand. Beer and red wine flowedthroughthe night, the rev- elry not letting up until Clarke had to return Monday morning for a few more interviews and some picture-taking at the spot where he tapped in the final putt to win the British Open. “I have not been to bed yet,” Clarke said. “I probably won’t get any sleepuntil tomorrowat some stage. You have to enjoy it while you can. “It’s been,” he added mischie- vously, “a very good night.” Clarke sure earned it. No one had ever gone more than15 British Opens before win- ning. Clarke did it on his 20th try at 42, making himthe oldest first- time major winner since Roberto de Vicenzo in1967. But that only tells part of the story. Clarke lost his wife, Heath- er, to cancer five years ago, leav- ing him to raise two young boys. Not surprisingly, his focus on the course wavered, which sent him plummeting out of the top 100 in the world. It had been a decade since he was a serious contender in a major —he didn’t even qual- ify for the three majors that pre- ceded the Open. “I definitely appreciate an aw- ful lot more what I’ve achieved,” Clarke said. “Ten years ago, I did take an awful lot of things for granted.” His parents and new love, fian- ceeAlisonCampbell, wereat Roy- al St. George’s to cheer him. Clar- ke’s two boys stayed home in Northern Ireland, but he phoned them shortly after his three- stroke victory over Americans Phil Mickelson and Dustin John- son. “Tyrone, myoldest one, wasve- ry pleased, very proud,” Clarke said. “He was going to tell every- body his dad was Open cham- pion.” And Conor, his youngest? “He wanted to know what he could spend all the money on,” Clarke said, breaking into a grin. That’s not surprising. Clarke has always been a guy who lived life to the fullest, so it’s only ap- propriate that he passed on that attitude to his children. Thenagain, givenall that’s hap- pened, Clarke plans to handle the spoils of this triumph a bit more prudently than he would have, say, 10 years ago. His Open prize was nearly $1.5 million, andthere will undoubtedly be a flood of new endorsement opportunities. “I actually don’t have anything in mind because I’ve been there, done all that before,” Clarke said. “I’ve had the opportunity to buy whatever I want to buy and all that. This time, I’m a little bit ol- der and a little bit more sensible. If I can put a little bit more aside for my boys’ future, then that’s what I’ll do, as opposed to look- ing after myself.” Clarke has long been a stalwart of the European Ryder Cup team, and he’s made no secret of his de- sire to serve as captain one day. He may have to put off those am- bitions for a few years. Turns out, this guy can still play. “Playing,” he said, “is much better than being a nonplaying captain.” Clarke became the third golfer fromtinyNorthernIrelandtowin in the last six majors, following U.S. Open champions Rory McIl- roy and Graeme McDowell. The Americans haven’t won any dur- ing that span, their longest drought of the modern Grand Slam era, though they did have five of the top seven at Royal St. George’s. Mickelson played the first 10 holes Sunday at 6 under and ac- tually claimed a share of the lead at one point, only to fade down the stretch when his putter fal- tered. Johnson was in contention again at a major but made anoth- er huge blunder, knocking a shot out of bounds just five holes from the finish. “NorthernIreland...... Golf cap- ital of the world!!” McIlroy tweet- ed, andthere will undoubtedly be a pushtoaddthat country’s Royal Portrush club to the rotation of nine courses that regularly host the British Open. “We’re all very aware of the fact that threewinners fromNorthern Ireland increases the interest lev- el in this,” R&A chief Peter Daw- son said Monday. “I have agreed to take a look.” In1951, Royal Portrushbecame the only course outside Scotland and England to hold the cham- pionship. But the Royal & An- cient is concerned that a lack of hotels and major roads would make it difficult tohost sucha big event in the modern era. “The usual mixture of a great course and plenty of infrastruc- ture combined with the prospect of commercial success is what’s needed,” Dawson said. FromClarke’s point of view, the course at Royal Portrush is al- ready worthy of a major. But he understands other factors must be considered.

Pennsylvania Blvd. Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701 Let’s begin by not overstating the case. Predictions of a soccer boom in America have done more to hamstring the development of the world’s game here than all those well-orga- nized, well-meaning parents who became youth coaches with no more than a vague idea of how it’s played. And just so we’re clear, there will be no explosion this time, either. After the U.S. women stunned Brazil and just about everybody else in a quarterfinal match at the Women’s World Cup, I wrote that if Americans didn’t fall in love with soccer after that, well, maybe they never would. They did. For exactly a week. But that’s how plenty of love affairs go: torrid one day, indiffer- ent the next. Plenty of Americans already love soccer. Anybody who doubts that should check out the exhibi- tions being played here this month featuring several of Eu- rope’s top clubs — among them, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid. Most of their games will draw crowds that make last week’s MLB All-Star exhibition look like the softball game at a company picnic. The overnight TV rating for the finale was 8.6, more than tripling Sunday’s marquee event for the boys — the British Open — yet still finishing well behind the 11.4 eventually posted in the 1999 cup-clinching win over China. If you didn’t get enough of the U.S. women last week, don’t worry. They’ll be on the late- night and early morning TV circuit this week. Traffic on so- cial media was more eye-popping still, generating at its peak more tweets-per-second than either Britain’s royal wedding or the announcement of Osama Bin Laden’s death. But there’s no need to waste time wondering whether soccer will ever be as popular on these shores as the big three of foot- ball, baseball and basketball. It won’t, for the next decade at least, for reasons we’ll get to below. Since long-term relationships are built on learning, the better question is what Americans learned that they didn’t know after all the previous predictions of booms that never material- ized: two previous U.S. women’s cup wins (1991 and1999), play- ing host to the men’s cup in1994, the creation of domestic leagues for both sexes.. If we’re being optimistic, the answer is this: We finally saw a U.S. team playing a style that we could call our own. If asked, every coach and ball- player will concede a team learns more from a loss than a win. So it was again Sunday, when a determined Japanese team used the same grit and hustle that’s been the hallmark of every U.S. soccer team, men or women, on a superior squad of Americans. That’s how the U.S. women beat Brazil and then in the semifinal, France, teams that featured more talented individuals and a better understanding of the game. But a funny thing happened on the way to the final. U.S. coach Pia Sundhage, a Swede who played for her nation- al team, knew only too well how fast the gap was closing between the American women and the rest of the world in terms of resources, organization and even quality athletes. She had already laid the groundwork for her squad to rely less on athleticism and more on technique; to play the way the best of the rest of the world does by moving the ball quickly and accurately under pressure. That Sundhage moved the strategy from the training ground to the pitch for the big- gest match of their careers shows how much faith she had in this bunch. Even more than Amer- ican football, soccer is a game of possession and finishing a few scoring chances.. The U.S. wom- en succeeded at the first task, but came away with nothing too many times from the opening minute of the match through the final penalty kick. Even so, they came away with something. Up until now, the closest thing to a coherent playing style any American squad displayed on a world stage is what the English used to call “hit and hope.” It involves defending countless attacks as if your life depended on it, then booting the ball up the field and hoping a teammate latches onto it — and somehow beats a crowd of defenders to score. But this one time, even in a loss, the U.S. women stuck their foot in the door and let their countrymen glimpse a wider world of possibilities. Given their legacy and continuing success, it’s only fitting that they’d be the first to break through soccer’s glass ceiling in America. The guess here is that you’ll see the benefits as soon as next summer, at the London Olympics, and not just because the U.S. women will be out for vengeance. They never lacked for motivation and they’ve already learned the game’s most important lesson. Now it’s the men’s turn. It’s been a black mark on their re- cord that a nation of 300 million has yet to produce even one striker good enough to sit on the bench of world powers like Spain, Brazil, Argentina, England or the Netherlands, let alone play in the first team. Anyone who thinks they’re getting their fair share of elite athletes should consider what the NBA’s dozen best point guards could do with a soccer ball if they grew up play- ing the game. So it’s long past time to hope we hit that jackpot. It’s time to start developing players who can tame the ball with their feet, move it and get it back with enough time and space to carve the same wide swath through the World Cup as their female coun- terparts. There will be plenty of time before then to start talking about a soccer boom. Despite U.S. run, soccer boom on hold OPINION J I M L I T K E Jim Litke is a national sports colum- nist for The Associated Press. Write to him at jlitke(at)ap.org. tobeat Brazil inthequarterfinals in a thrilling match, and then grindingdownFrance. But asen- tertaining as they may be, the Americans have been making things harder on themselves thanthey needtobe for almost a year now. They were upset by Mexico in regional qualifying, forced to beat Italy in a playoff to get the very last spot in Germany. They dropped their first game of the season, to Sweden, then lost to England for the first time in 22 years — so long ago Morgan hadn’t even been born yet. After winning their first two games in Germany handily, they lost to Sweden, thefirst U.S. losseverin WorldCup group play. “In the past, we’d always won everything,” Rampone said. “Those losses made our team what it is today. We need each other and you feel that, fromthe locker room to the time we step onthe field.” But the Americans need more than a can-do attitude to keep pace ina game that is improving andevolving. Sundhage wants the U.S. to play a possession-oriented style similar to the one Japan and France worked to near perfec- tion in Germany, saying the tra- ditional American gameplan of grindingopponents downonde- fense and sending long balls up to the forwards is too predict- able. Theoffenseshoulddevelop through the midfield, not start up front. By working from flank to center and back out with se- ries of multiple passes, the Americans can probe the de- fense for weaknesses and create moreopportunities—including chances for players who wouldn’t normally score. The style also helps on de- fense. Opponents can’t score whentheAmericansarekeeping the ball for large chunks of the game. “I thinkof it as a nice hybridof the way the U.S. national team usedtoplayandthewaythat the game is evolving into much like the men’s game, a possession, Barcelona-esque style,” Wam- bach said. “It hasn’t been with- out troubles. It’s sometimes got- ten the best of us because we have some players, like myself, whoareoldschool andliketoget theball inamorephysical, direct style. Andwhenthings aren’t go- ingwell, IliketogobacktowhatI know.” day night, losing 3-1 in penalty kicks after twice blowing leads in a 2-2 tie. “But there’s another WorldCup infour years.” For some. The majority of the teamwill remain intact through London, but Rampone (36) and Boxx (34) are likely to call it quits after that. Wambach said it’stooearlytosaywhat she’ll do, but she is 31, and her body is showing the wear and tear from thefearlessplayingstylethathas earnedher thirdplace onthe all- timeWorldCupscoringlist with 13 goals. Wambach passed Michelle Akers (12) for top U.S. honors withherheaderinthe104thmin- uteSunday, herfourthgoal of the tournament. “I’m not thinking about that right now,” Wambachsaidwhen asked about her future. “I just want to spend some time with myteammates. This has beenan emotional roller coaster ... and the Olympics are right around the corner. We’ll move on.” Part of what has always made the U.S. so strong is the smooth transition from one generation to another, and the U.S. might have its most promise since the days of Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Brandi Chastain. Solo, winner of the Golden Glove as the tournament’s top goalkeeper, is intheprimeof her career at 29. Morgan and Che- ney, both just 22, each finished the tournament with two goals. Cheney also had three assists while Morgan had one. Rapinoe displayed the accuracy and touch on the flanks so critical in coachPiaSundhage’sdesirefora possession-based offense, and has the energy and spunk to shoulder theburdenof beingthe face of the team behind Wam- bach. No team found a way to con- tain speedy Heather O’Reilly, who makes a nice complement to Rapinoe on the opposite side of thefield.

The host country won its fourthgoldmedal andfifthover- all in the outdoor pool Monday, thrilling fans who cheered and chanted “China!” each time their divers appeared on the boards. Wang Hao and Chen Ruolin led all every round in easily win- ning the women’s 10-meter syn- chro after Li Shixin won the men’s 1-meter springboard and teammate He Min took the sil- ver. Wang and Chen totaled 362.58 points. It was Chen’s third consecu- tive world title in synchro plat- form, including 2009 in Rome when she also teamed with Wang. China has won six straight world titles in the event. Since Chinese diving super- star Guo Jingjing retired in Ja- nuary, Chen has been consid- ered her successor. “I don’t want to think too much about it,” she said. “My performancewill beaffected. Al- though the 10-meter platform individual gold is also impor- tant, it is not my goal. My goal is the London Games.” Australia’s Alexandra Croak and Melissa Wu earned the sil- ver at 325.92 — their country’s fourth runner-up finish in the event. “It definitely built the confi- dence that we got a medal,” said Wu, who finished second in 2007. “The competition is in- tense. It’s hard sometimes when you have to rely on someone else to do as well as you.” ChristinSteuer andNora Sub- schinski claimed Germany’s second bronze of the day with 316.29. “Our opponents are all on a high level, especially the Ger- man and Australia duo,” said Chen, who has been on China’s national team since 2003. “It’s very important to be in control and perform our best.” Wang and Chen received one perfect 10 for synchronization on their second dive.

China strengthens superpower hold By BETH HARRIS AP Sports Writer Southern California tailback Marc Tyler has been suspended from all team activities and the Trojans’ season opener for com- ments he made to TMZ that im- pliedhe gets paidtoplayfor USC. When asked by TMZ whether he could make more money at USC or in the NFL, Tyler said, “USC, they breaking bread,” making a gesture indicating a large stack of money. USC coach Lane Kiffin sus- pended his leading rusher Mon- day for the Sept. 3 opener against Minnesota and possibly longer. The fifth-year senior is facing po- tential discipline fromthe school after what he said were two alco- hol-related problems in April. “I am disappointed that I let down all the people who have supported me as I have been working through some personal issues,” Tyler said in a statement released by the school. “I realize how my behavior and my state- ments, even though I was joking, can reflect poorly on so many people. As a veteran player, I should know that my job is to be an example for the younger guys.” USC is entering the second year of a postseason ban during four years of NCAA probation stemming from illegal benefits provided to Reggie Bush. TMZ recorded Tyler’s com- ments last Thursday outside Voy- eur, a West Hollywood nightclub. Tyler, who turns 23 in Septem- ber, also made a distasteful com- ment to TMZ about Kim Kar- dashian, Bush’s ex-girlfriend. “That is not the waythat we ex- pect our players torepresent USC and our team,” Kiffin said. “Al- though Marc may find this puni- shment severe, it is imperative we continue to have a high stan- dard for player behavior. Marc needs to work hard to show us that he can meet the standards of being a USC football player.” Athletic director Pat Haden said Tyler “stepped way out of line. He did not represent him- self, his university or his teamthe way we expect. Marc has a lot to do to prove he belongs on our team. We hope Marc learns from this and comes back a changed and better person.” Last month, Tyler said he had appeared before the school’s Of- fice of Student Judicial Affairs to discuss two complaints made against himinApril. Tyler was ac- cused of spitting on a female stu- dent while intoxicated, and later touching another female student inappropriately at a bar near USC’s downtown campus.

And Olympics minister Hugh Robertson insisted that much of the security framework was al- ready in place before counterter- rorism minister Pauline Neville- Jones left her job in May . “I am not concerned about the resignations in relation to Olym- pics security,” Robertson said Monday in statement to The As- sociated Press. “Pauline Neville- Jones made a massive contribu- tion to get this in a good place. The appointment of Chris Alli- son, as the Met assistant commis- sioner in charge of all of this, has alsoreally drivenit forward. He is the point manonOlympic securi- ty and I am100 percent confident that we are where we ought to be.” Sebastian Coe, the organizing committee chairman for the Lon- don Games, also said he wasn’t concerned about the resigna- tions.

Apple’s earnings report for its fiscal third quarter will show whether the company has recovered from short- ages of its iPad. Demand for the tablet computer has been so strong that Apple hasn’t been able to keep up with orders. But financial analysts say the iPad is on track to make more money for Apple than the entire Mac division by the end of the year. Bank of America earnings The nation’s largest bank is expected to report a net loss of $8.6 billion to $9.1 billion for the second quarter. That’s the result of an $8.5 billion settle- ment with investors over poor- quality mortgage bonds that were sold as securities and that went sour in the financial crisis. Investors want to know if there’s more bad news – such as a drop in trading income that hurt other banks’ revenue during the quarter. A gradual improvement Economists expect the Commerce Department to report an incremen- tal rise in the number of homes that builders broke ground on last month. But the number of housing starts will still be down from its high point this year, in January. And that means it’s likely to be less than half the annual rate of 1.2 million that’s considered a healthy housing market. Econo- mists agree that any significant improvement won’t happen until unemployment falls sharply.

But it might be a good idea to wait before you decide to jump ship in righteous indignation over the villai- nous Netflix plan – the services differ substantially. According to Netflix, what they’ve actually done is split their DVD and web-streaming services. So while you were paying $9.99 per month for one DVD at a time and unlimited stream- ing movies, you’ll now end up paying $15 per month for two services – DVD by mail at $7.99, and unlimited streaming video for $7.99. For me, this plan actually works out better – I have Netflix but I only use their streaming service. I can send off for a DVD, but I’ve never had any reason to. If you only need their DVD service, it’s also cheaper – you’re only paying $7.99 a month. However, Blockbuster offers a substantially different product that includes Blu-Rays with its DVD plans. Netflix charges extra – not a big deal for people who want to view movies online, but maybe a game changer for those of you who prefer receiving movies in the mail. Block- buster also includes Xbox360, Play- station and Wii game rentals by mail in their plans – Netflix doesn’t offer the service. And Blockbuster allows you to return and exchange videos at a physical store location, where your plan will net additional discounts. I should mention that at present, Blockbuster offers fewer titles than Netflix. So while Netflix’s increased rates may be better or worse for you, depending on how you use the ser- vice, Blockbuster does offer addition- al value for your dollar. Personally, given how I use Netflix, it works out better for me to stick with the ser- vice – but as always, your experience will differ, and your mileage may vary.

COMPARING THE PLANS Netflix & Blockbuster try to outdeal each other NEW YORK -- News Corp.’s Rupert Murdoch is struggling to control the destiny of the company he began build- ing six decades ago after a trusteddepu- ty was arrested and Scotland Yard’s top official quit over ties to a suspect in the phone-hacking probe. Independent directors of New York- based News Corp. have begun question- ing the company’s response to the crisis and whether a leadership change is needed, said two people with direct knowledge of the situation who wouldn’t speak publicly. Rebekah Brooks, the former News International chief who Murdoch backed until last week, was arrested Sunday in London. “The shell of invulnerability that Rup- ert Murdoch had around him has been cracked,” said James Post, a professor at Boston University’s School of Management who has written about governance and busi- ness ethics. “His credibility and the company’s credibility are hemorrhag- ing.” Murdoch and his 38-year-old son, James Murdoch, are spending most of their time with advisers preparing for today’s hearing before a British parlia- mentary committee. They will face questions over their role in and respon- sibility for phone hacking that took place at their now-defunct News of the World tabloid. The company took out advertisements in national British newspapers this weekend to apologize for the scandal. Before Monday, News Corp. shares had lost 17 percent since July 4, when the Guardian reported that News of the World employees had intercepted the voice mail of Milly Dowler, a schoolgirl who was later found murdered. The slump has shaved more than $6 billion off the combined value of the Class A shares and the Class Bvoting stock that gives the Murdochs control over the company. News Corp.’s independent directors, whoholdnineof 16boardseats, haveex- pressed frustration over the quality and quantity of information they’ve re- ceived about the scandal and concern about management’s ability to handle the crisis given how slowly the compa- ny has responded, the person said. Some directors said Murdoch, the company’s 80-year-old chairman and chief executive officer, appearedto be in denial over the fallout from the scandal in an interview he gave last week to the Wall Street Journal, one of News Corp.’s newspapers. News Corp.’s independent directors, including Dinh, Perkins and former British Airways CEO Rod Eddington, may have limited influence, given the Murdochs’ stock holdings, said Charles Elson, director of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware. “Rupert Murdoch controls the votes of the company through the Class B shares,” Elson said in an interview. “He can just replace them if he wants. They may do something, but it will be tempo- rary. Maybe he becomes chairman, but this is still his company and he can do what he wants. When he controls the stock, he controls the board.” Murdoch attempts to control News Corp.

LOUIS — As the economic re- covery sputters forward, banks contin- ue to bleed revenue in such mainstays as commercial lending and, of course, mortgages. So they are increasingly catering to the only customers who have survived the Great Recession rel- atively unscathed: rich folks. Customers with more than $1 mil- lion in liquid assets can expect some extracoddlingthesedays, as banks are adding services and staff to their wealth management divisions. The new focus for many banks stems largely from a simple lack of other options — as historic govern- ment bailouts winddownandsobered consumers and businesses grow in- creasingly allergic tonewdebt. Nearly a fourth of Americans are underwater on their homes, and so won’t be needi- ng a mortgage; and starting or ex- panding a business into the current headwinds takes a brave and well-cap- italized soul. Simultaneously, banks have seen their bedrocks of revenue from debit card and overdraft fees eroded by new federal regulations. By contrast, the 3.4 million people in North America holding more than $1 million in liquid assets actually grew their wealth by 9.1 percent last year, to $11.6 trillion, according to Merrill Lynch’s World Wealth Report released last month. The number of high-net-worth individuals in North America has also risen, growing 8.6 percent last year. Bank of America’s Global Wealth and Investment Management divi- sion, whichserves highnet worthindi- viduals through its Merrill Lynch and U.S. Trust business units, sawits first- quarter revenue jump 11 percent, to $4.5 billion. When it released its wealth report, Merrill Lynch said high-net-worth in- dividuals were expected to continue to shed their real estate investments and increase their equity and com- modities allocations. So banks would be foolish not to fol- low the money, said Joe Hoffmeyer, principal of St. Louis-based Phoenix Financial Services Consulting and a former manager of First Banks’ wealth management division. “Everyboardof directors of every bank in the world wants tofocus onwealthmanagement now,” he said. PNCBank is working onnewonline services for its wealth management customers so they can access income projections on their smartphones and contact PNC’s wealth management staff with questions about their ac- counts via email or text message. Those services are expected to be rolled out by the first quarter of 2012.

WK MO QTR YTD StocksRecap Matthew Craft, Kristen Girard • AP U.S. government debt is considered one of the safest bets around. A default would shake the confidence of in- vestors around the world. Economists say a default would also drive up borrowing costs for everyone. Treasury yields would rise to compen- sate buyers for their higher risk. Treasurys are used to set interest rates throughout the economy. So mortgages and borrowing by companies and local governments would be- come more expensive for people. Financial analysts say it’s nearly impossible to predict ex- actly how a default would play out in the stock, bond and cur- rency markets. They do say the immediate aftermath for stocks might look like the financial crisis in September 2008. In the month after Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy, the S&P 500 lost 28 percent. Bonds could also fall after a default — they’ll have lost their reputation for safety. Few investments would be considered safe. Fear has driven traders into precious metals, but gold is at $1,600 an ounce, so it’s not cheap. Some analysts say a default could freeze the short-term lending markets that keep money moving throughout the fi- nancial system. Treasurys and other government debt are widely used as collateral for loans in these markets. Adefault would shake the trust in that collateral. Lenders could respond by demanding more. That would force borrowers to sell other investments to meet those demands. Asimilar selling cycle spread turmoil across markets when Lehman collapsed. Panic selling might force Washington to quickly agree to raise the debt limit. Think back to 2008. After the House re- jected a bailout for banks on Sept. 29, the Dow fell 777 points. Four days later, Congress approved a bailout. What if?

What lies ahead will not be the worst heat wave we’ve ever had which occurred in July back in 1936. That’s when we had six straight record breaking days with tem- peratures rang- ing from 95 to 103 degrees. Today, the chance for a stormwill be much less than on Monday now that a front has moved south of here. Starting tomorrow, the heat will intensi- fy and on Thursday, read- ings here in town could reach 100. The above aver- age temps should last into next week and by then, I’ll be more than ready for some relief. - Tom Clark NATIONAL FORECAST: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be spread throughout the eastern United States today. Look for a chance of thunderstorms from portions of the Midwest, across the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic and down to the Gulf Coast. Some storms near the Ohio Valley have the potential to be strong to severe.

I haven’t hadanytreat- ments inseveral years andfoodstill hesitates at the point of stomachentry. Is soft diet the best cure?

A: Molds, whichare a fungus, will grow anywhere indoors where there’s moisture. Molds produce allergy-provokingsub- stances, irritants andmaycontaintoxic substances that canmake us sick. Fatigue, headaches, wateryeyes, irritatedlungs, shortness of breath, asthma anda myriad of healthconditions canbe linkedto fungal toxins. Stachybotrys moldis consideredtobe the prototypical “toxic” mold. Youmay have seenthis greenish-blackmoldgrow- ingoncellulose fiberboardor sheetrockin your dampbasement.

Parentsseekinghealthierres- taurant meals for their kids can start to look beyond chicken nuggets and macaroni-and- cheese. At least 19 restaurant chains — including Burger King, Chili’s, Outback Steak- house, Cracker Barrel, Denny’s and Friendly’s — said Wednes- day that they will include healthier options on their chil- dren’s menus. At least 15,000 restaurant locations will in- creaseservingsof fruitsandveg- etables, lean proteins, whole grains and low-fat dairy. The items will have less fats, sugars andsodium. Less healthy foods like burg- ers and fries will still be on the menu, but the restaurants say they will do more to promote healthier options. Chili’s, for ex- ample, will highlight a chicken sandwich with a side of pineap- ple or mandarin oranges on their kids’ menu. Burger King has recently reformulated chil- dren’s chicken nuggets so they include less sodium, and em- ployees taking orders will now ask if customers want healthier apple fries instead of the stan- dard“fries withthat?” Theeffort is part of anewNa- tional Restaurant Association initiative. To be part of the pro- gram, restaurants must include atleastonekids’ menuitemthat is 600 calories or less and meet other nutritional requirements. Aside dish worth less than 200 calories must also be included. The federal government will also soon require restaurants to post calories ontheir menus. Eateries will improve kids menus By MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press The womeninside the Webster Groves, Mo., studio looked as though they were channeling Muhammad Ali, Mikhail Ba- ryshnikov and any of a dozen Hollywood starlets who have long lean torsos (think Gwyneth Paltrow). They stood, feet apart, abdomens sucked in, punching the air with their right fists. Their left hands were raised to their left ear in a protective manner as in- structor Kristin Dabney egged them on. “Cellphones, ladies. Keep your left hand up near your ear,” she yelled over thumping music. “Punch punch punch punch.” The air inside The Scoop — A Pilates Studio was taking a brutal beating. Piloxing is the latest group cardio exer- cise craze. It’s an interdisciplinary pro- gram that combines the sculpting and flexibilityof Pilates withthe power, speed and agility of boxing. It also adds a healthy dose of dance moves including hip-hop, salsa and especially ballet, re- quiring immense core strength, balance and coordination. In Pilates, all movement should begin in what practitioners call the powerhouse — the hips, abs, lower and upper back, buttocks and inner thighs — and flow outward to the limbs. That explains why many of Piloxing’s moves have controlled ballet-like movements that work the low- er body. WhenJosephPilates createdhis fitness program in the early 20th century, he ini- tially calledit Contrology andhis first stu- dents were dancers who helped build on his ideas. Coincidentally, or not, Piloxing was created by Viveca Jensen, a Swedish dancer and trainer to Hollywood celebri- ties, to “physically and mentally empow- er women through fitness.” St. Louis Fitness Club on Hampton Avenue, Main Street Gym in St. Charles and the Jewish Community Center in Creve Coeur and Chesterfield also offer Piloxing classes. During the Piloxing class at Scoop, Dabney led the class through a routine that went fromboxing andhip hop moves to squatting with the knees turned out in- toa modifiedplie, as inballet. Thepartici- pants raised their left legs repeatedly in a controlled manner, first out in front, then to the side and finally to the back, until lactic acid burned in their right thighs. Then they switched to the other side and did the same. Sometimes they raninplace withchop- py, rapid-fire foot falls while punching so quicklythat their hands were practicallya blur. Several women wore weighted gloves to help further tone the arms and maximize the cardiovascular effects. “Pilates movement fundamentals help you find your balance and recruit your muscles more efficiently,” said Dabney. “But there was one woman at the JCC who is a workout fanatic, and she said ev- ery muscle in her body was sore the next day. You recruit a whole set of muscles you don’t use in other workouts.” She compares building muscles with Pilates and Piloxing to opening a Russian nesting doll from the inside out — you start by working the small internal mus- cles in the core which help with balance and move outward to larger muscle groups. “Andas we age, that element of balance becomes morecritical soit’s prettyimpor- tant for everybody,” she said.

Statistics show that 62 percent of Ameri- can households own a pet. Ac- cording to a national survey, most pet owners say companion- ship, love, company and affec- tionaretheNo. 1benefits toown- ing a pet. We know that pets make good companions and decrease loneli- ness, but numerous studies have shown other profound health benefits of owning a pet: 1. Pets help recovery from heart attacks. A National Insti- tutes of Health study of 421 adults found that dog owners had a better one-year survival af- ter a heart attack, compared to those who did not own dogs. 2. Pets help us calm down. A study of 240 married couples showed that pet owners had low- er heart rates and blood pressure as compared to those without pets. 3. Pets help reduce stress bet- ter than our human companions. Pet owners had less stress and quicker recovery from stress when they were with their pets as compared to when they were with their spouse or friend. 4. Pet owners have less obesi- ty. A study looking at 2,000 adults found that pet owners who walked their dogs had less rates of obesity and were more physically active than those without pets. 5. Pet owners have better mo- bility in their golden years. An- other NIHstudy looking at 2,500 adults aged 71-82 showed that adults who regularly walked their dogs had more mobility in- side the house thannon-pet own- ers. 6. Pets increase opportunities for socialization. Many studies have shown that walking a dog leads to more conversations and socialization. 7. Pets can help your choleste- rol. TheCenters for DiseaseCon- trol and Prevention states that owning a pet can decrease cho- lesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure. 8. Pets can help comfort chil- dren. Child psychologists have found that pets can be very com- fortingtochildrenandhelpthem developempathy. Theyhavealso been found to help autistic chil- dren with socialization. So for those of you with pets, continue to enjoy the hidden health benefits of your furry friends. And for those of you thinking of getting one — do so.

Selecting a healthier version of ice cream can be confusing with all the options in today’s stores. Here’s some advice from Gloria Tsang, a registered diet- itianandauthor of the newbook “Go Undiet”: • Go easy on premium ice cream. “Premium” means higher fat — typically, between 250 and 280 calories per serving com- pared to 180 calories for regular ice cream. That’s not necessarily badif youcankeepportionsizeto about half a cup. But choose a lower-fat version if you need sev- eral scoops to be happy. •Don’t write off low-fat prod- ucts. If you tried one of these ice creams years ago and hated it, try again. New whipping tech- nology has made many brands much creamier. • Avoid mix-ins and syrups. Extra toppings add up quickly: an ounce of chocolate syrup adds 75 calories, for example, while a blob of whipped cream might be another 45. •Skipthe shakes. Large milk- shakes from fast-food and chain restaurants can pack as many as 1,500 calories. They also tend to be loaded with fat, sugar and even salt. • Try ice cream alternatives. Frozen yogurt and gelato typi- callyare made withmilkinstead of cream, which can save 40 to 50 calories per half cup. Most sherbet (about 105 calories per half cup) and sorbet (about 100 calories) is made of fruit puree, sugar and water; sorbet is milk- free, while sherbet has low-fat milk added. Choose one that lists fruit puree as the first or second ingredient.

After meeting with the professional staff at the Neuropathy Center I knew that there was hope for me. After just my second treatment I felt life in my legs again. I couldn’t believe it! My experience has been terrific! Now my wife Betty and I can continue to enjoy our active life doing the things we love including Polka dancing!!

They had fallen behind on their bills, so I sent them each $1,000 to get caught up. It’s two years later, and I have yet to see a dime from either one of them. I have sent them both letters asking to have “some” money paid back; both sent me excuses about why they can’t pay anything. However, on Facebook they write about how they went shop- ping, joined a gym and so on. What can I do to get this settled? — Taken Advantage of in Minnesota Dear Taken Advantage Of: Try this ... post on your Facebook page: “It’s funny what short memories some people have. I loaned ‘Tom’ and ‘Geri’ $1,000 two years ago when they fell behind on some bills. Instead of repayment, I have received nothing but excuses — and all the while I see their postings about shopping at the mall and going to the gym. What DEADBEATS!” Maybe it will shame your relatives into paying up. Dear Abby: Do I have to stop wear- ing my wedding ring? My husband died three years ago. We had been married 53 years and 12 days. Abby, I pledged “until death do us part.” I just can’t seem to make myself take off the ring he put on my finger so many years ago. I’m tired of being told that I “have” to give up something so precious to me. Is there a time limit, or is it OK for me to go ahead with wearing the ring and ignore the people who pester me about taking it off? Maybe a time will come when I’ll want to, but not now, not yet. Please give me some sound advice. — Arizona Widow Dear Widow: Please accept my sym- pathy for your loss. Widows and wid- owers usually remove their wedding ring at the point when they decide they would like to begin dating again. When they do, some of them choose to move the ring from their left to the right hand. Others put it away as a treasured keepsake. There is no set time at which your wedding ring “must” come off. If and when you feel the time is right, it will happen — or not. Dear Abby: I’m 15 years old, and I’m afraid to kiss! I won’t date anyone be- cause I’m afraid my kiss will suffer by comparison. I know no one becomes an expert without practice, but I don’t want anyone to be my first kiss. Several guys are into me, but I can’t date them because eventually they’ll want to kiss. It would be so embarrassing to be horrible at it. Any advice? — Too Freaked Out to Make Out Dear Freaked Out: Kissing isn’t a competitive sport, so stop worry- ing that you won’t measure up. A kiss doesn’t have to be the way it’s portrayed in the movies, with heavy breathing and mouths agape. Wheth- er a guy wants to kiss you isn’t as im- portant as whether you WANT him to kiss you. If you do, all you have to do is close your eyes, tilt your head a bit to the side and lean in. He will take care of the rest. DEAR ABBY A D V I C E Not-so-friendly Facebook post might prompt family debtors to pay up To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently re- quested — poems and essays, send a busi- ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.) ARIES (March 21-April 19). You know how to deal with passion- ate, intemperate people, and you’ll use this knowledge to suc- ceed. You’ll read the signs and stay your distance until you feel kindness beckoning you forward. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Some are content to kill time, but you will strive for a much more ami- cable arrangement. You want time to favor you, to stop for you once in a while, and of course, you want to be able to borrow from it when you come up short. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll have a grievance or two. Some of the people around you need a wakeup call, and you’re the alarm clock. Once you get a few things off your chest, you’ll enjoy yourself much better. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Let the little joys add up while you let the little disappointments slip into the cracks. This is pretty easy. All you have to do is catch the joys and hold on to them so that your hands are too full to clasp any negativity. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You some- times equate wealth with hard work, but the reality is that often it doesn’t happen that way at all. Stay open to the possibility that good fortune may come without effort. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your body may send you signals that are more intelligent than those your mind sends. You will stum- ble upon an arrangement that is a perfect fit for you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re very independent now, and you refuse to get carried away with anyone else’s ideology. The oth- ers want you on their side, but you feel an even stronger calling to do your own thing. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Busy people are the toughest to attract. Whether the relationship is business or personal, the rule is the same: The other person has to have room for you; other- wise, it won’t work. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Visit face to face whenever pos- sible. You never know where the conversation will lead. You’ll likely wind up doing something that’s slightly out of character for you but so much fun! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a personal stake in what you’re doing. As for the oth- ers, they may need help getting involved. Invite them to increase their level of participation. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Malls and casinos are purposely designed for visitors to get lost in them. This day will seem simi- larly patterned to delight, dis- tract and tempt you away from your original plans. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may rise with a conflict already brewing in the recesses of your mind. Two ideas are at war with each other. You always have a right to adapt and change your position. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 18). You quickly learn what you need to learn in order to make a situation work. This may mean communicating differently with someone or adding new skills to your arsenal. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 15, 49, 11 and 26.

Yes, we may say “Ma and Pa,” “y’all,” “yonder” and “I reckon,” but we would not laugh or be embar- rassed if a California relative came to visit. We’d be overjoyed and welcoming. “K.I.R.,” get off your high horse and get over yourself! If you visited, we’d show you around town, take you to see friends and relatives, and smother you with affection. We’d have big fam- ily gatherings, sit on the front porch and drink lemonade. We would never ridicule your different accent. Come spend some time with us “hicks.” We welcome everyone and are glad to have you. We’ll serve you white gravy and homemade butter- milk biscuits, pecan pie and sweet tea. And when you leave, we’ll give you a big, air-constricting hug and some “sugar” (Southern slang for kisses) and say, “Y’all come back now, ya hear?” — Georgia Girl Dear Georgia Girl: To heck with “K.I.R.” — invite me! You’ll be pleased to know your fellow south- erners came out in force against “K.I.R.’s” uppity attitude. Read on: Dear Abby: “Keeping It Real” is liv- ing in a fantasy world — a sad one at that. Our country is made up of all kinds of people. How can he not see the charm in a simple, down-home ac- cent? Using different regional phrases or expressions doesn’t make a per- son stupid or uneducated — a fact “K.I.R.” might understand if he were more educated himself. I adore my Southern heritage. I love being able to tell the difference between the drawl of someone from the Carolinas versus the Cajun tones of folks from Louisiana. There’s rich- ness to those voices. You can almost hear the history by listening to someone speak. I’d much rather hear about “Ma and Pa” than be repeatedly subjected to words like “dude” or “gnarly.” All I can say to “K.I.R.” is — bless your heart! — Proud Belle in Arkansas Dear Abby: Why would “K.I.R.” as- sume that because his Southern fam- ily doesn’t live in an “uneducated” area, their accents are “fake”? His generalizations show how little he knows about the rich and varied Southern culture. He should read Tennessee Williams, Eudora Welty or Truman Capote, or watch a documen- tary about the South. In other words, educate HIMSELF to keep from com- ing off as embarrassingly shallow in front of his relatives. — Southern Yankee in Texas Dear Abby: I’m guessing the country folk are having fun with him. I have a master’s degree in English and can quote Milton and Yeats. But around snobs like this, I’d go all “Jed Clam- pett” so fast he’d think he’s been slog- walloped by a she-critter without no young-uns. — Brian in North Carolina Dear Abby: That fool can kiss my grits! — Kaye in Virginia DEAR ABBY A D V I C E Southern readers rise in force to defend their use of the word ‘y’all’ To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently re- quested — poems and essays, send a busi- ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.) ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have terrific social instincts. You’re likely to pull a quality new friend into your world just because you were the one who said “hi” when no one else did. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Osho, a great spiritual teacher of the 20th century, said that all artis- tic activity is on the way toward becoming religious. Today your creativity will lead you to a sacred place in your own soul. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may have trouble relating to some- one until you broaden your base of acceptable commonalities. You are of the same species on the same planet, and there is enough to agree on right there. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Being loved by another person is not nearly as fulfilling as loving another person. You will be hap- pily occupied in the activities that demonstrate your affection. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know that by engaging a passionate person who is already in a cer- tain kind of mood, you are asking for trouble. However, as a risk- taker, you may find it irresistible anyway. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sure, there are aspects of your history that you tend to glamorize. And yet, it is your firm opinion that the future will hold ever-more amazing treasures. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You deserve to deal strictly with people of integrity. Therefore, the ones who tell you to buy what you don’t need have to go. Also, there’s no time to entertain those who wouldn’t do the same for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The one who said “truth does not blush” was not paying close enough attention. The truth can be very uncomfortable to hear today, and it will provoke a visceral response. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People are talking about you and saying just what you wanted them to say. But this should come as no surprise to you. You’ve been working pretty dili- gently to form a certain public image, and now your work is paying off. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Once a stressful situation passes or a problem is resolved, you will feel better than new. Indeed, you will be better than new, having grown in strength and confi- dence from the experience. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you physically can or cannot do might affect your plan and your thinking. But don’t let it affect your opinion of yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Avoid twisting yourself up into a knot to prove how flexible and willing to please you are. Instead, walk tall. It’s better to err on the side of rigidity now. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 19). Your tenacity and stamina are marvelous attributes that you’ll apply to remarkable feats. Through the next five weeks, good fortune comes by way of community projects and sales. You’ll be shown affection and will enjoy a large number of friends and acquaintances. Libra and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 14, 12 and 30.
