WASHINGTON — In a
historic day for gay rights,
the Supreme Court gave the
nation’s legally married gay
couples equal federal foot-
ing with all other married
Americans on Wednesday and
also cleared the way for same-
sex marriages to resume in
California.
In deciding its first cases on
the issue, the high court did
not issue the sweeping declara-
tion sought by gay rights advo-
cates that would have allowed
same-sex couples to marry
anywhere in the country. But
in two rulings, both by bare
5-4 majorities, the justices
gave gay marriage supporters
encouragement in confronting
the nationwide patchwork of
laws that outlaw such unions
in roughly three dozen states.
Gay-rights supporters
cheered and hugged outside
the court. Opponents said
they mourned the rulings and
vowed to keep up their fight.
In the first of the narrow
rulings in its final session of
the term, the court wiped
away part of a federal anti-gay
marriage law, the Defense of
Marriage Act, that has kept

Coke: It’s what’s
for …breakfast?
Will it be OK in the uK? BusIness, 10B
After nearly five hours testimony
over two days in the Dallas School
District bus contract legal battle,
Luzerne County Judge Michael
Vough seemed to boil the issue down
to a single point.
“Why rebid?” he asked attorney
Howard Levinson, representing
Dallas. “That’s the ultimate ques-
tion?”
The usually unflappable Levinson
seemed to hesitate.
Only moments earlier attorney
Jonathan Comitz, representing
Emanuel Bus Lines in an effort to
reclaim a contract lost after a school
board vote last month, had said there
would have been no legal battle if the
school board had not given contrac-
tors a chance to submit revised bids
after initially awarding the job to G.
Davis Inc. of Pike County.
“I think the school board may
have been bending over backwards
to accommodate the local guy,”
Levinson told Vough, then adding,
“They shouldn’t have.”
The exchange came after the two
sides spent hours painting starkly
different pictures of the same events.
For the first time in decades the
school board had decided to seek
competitive bids for bus service,
receiving two, and voting to give the
job to G. Davis, which had offered 22
new, propane-fueled buses at about
$83,000 less per year than Emanuel.
The public balked, and at a meeting
a week later the board agreed to let
both sides offer new proposals.
Only Emanuel did, and district
Business Manager Grant Palfey
determined G. Davis was still about
$7,600 lower. The board voted a sec-
ond time for G. Davis.
The two sides landed before Vough
June 20, when Jeff Emanuel, owner
of the bus line, testified he would
have to close his business if he lost
the contract. Emanuel said he had
never sought work with other school
districts because he didn’t want to
put some other bus company out
of work, and he noted his company
pays more than $5,000 in taxes to the
school district.
Business manager testifies
When the hearing continued
Wednesday morning, Palfey testified
at length about the process leading
up to the vote by the board. Under
questioning by Comitz, Palfey said he
had concerns about Emanuel’s ability
to live up to its second offer, which
substantially lowered the charge for
daily runs, added six newer buses

stephen Cheskiewicz and david

since 2004 when they went to
Massachusetts to be married. The
two discussed the rulings by the

their home.
MONROE TWP. —
While the gay commu-

ebrated Wednesday’s U.S.
Supreme Court rulings,
David Michaels Jr. of the
Beaumont area wondered
how his life will change.
Michaels and his partner,
Stephen Cheskiewicz, were
married nine years ago in
Massachusetts. They have
been together for 27 years,
yet they can’t file a joint fed-
eral tax return.
John Dawe, the NEPA

director and board secretary
of Equality Pennsylvania,
said the rulings represent
“an enormous victory and
for equal justice under the
law.
“At least in the 13
states and the District of
Columbia, where marriage
equality is in place,” Dawe
said. “But it is important to
note that 37 states, includ-
ing Pennsylvania, still treat
gay and lesbian citizens and
their children as unequal and

UNION TWP. — The Northwest Area
School Board approved its 2013-14 bud-
get Wednesday calling for a tax increase in
real estate millage of .22o7 mills and stip-
ulating spending of $18.2 million, includ-
ing $7.7 million in professional salaries.
A mill is $1 in taxation for every $1,000
in assessed real estate valuation.
The budget was ratified on an 8-0 vote,
with Randy Tomasacci, board chairman,
stating that in spite of the tax hike the
administration “Worked hard at consoli-
dating expenses and looking out for the
best interest of the taxpayers.”
Under a spending plan which is
scheduled to be submitted to the state
Department of Education by June 30, the
tax rate was increased to 9.4193 mills
up from 9.1986 for 2012-13. The bud-
get currently is in deficit by $270,207;
$18,083,503 in proposed spending in
comparison to $17,813.296 in revenue.
Albert Melone Jr., financial advisor
for the school district, said it is possible
through federal and state funding, the
deficit can be eradicated.
Under a schedule prepared by Melone,
the yearly financial impact to homeown-
ers will be: $15.45 for real estate valued
at $70,000; $20.75 for $94,000; $22.07 for
$100,000; $26.48 for $120,000; $30.90 for
$140,000; $35.31 for $160,000 and $39.73
for $180,000.
Northwest also receives revenue from
an earned income tax of one-half of 1 per-
cent and two $5 per capita taxes as well as
occupational assessment taxes of $5 and
$10 in Huntington Township.
In addition the board moved ahead with
a proposed bond issue of up to $3 million
to finance renovations to existing school
buildings. The board granted approval for
PNC Bank, the Albert Melone Co. and
Stevens & Lee, bond counsel, to begin
the process of preparing bond documents.
This action came after hearing a presenta-
tion by David Payne of PNC Bank, who
said rates are historically low in spite of
recent volatility caused by Federal Reserve
and the time appears right for Northwest
to incur more debt.
Although one school director expressed
some reservations about public reaction
to more debt, on a roll call, the vote was
8-0 to move ahead on the proposed bond
issue.
In other decisions:
• The board acted to invest $50,954
from the recently resolved sale of the
Garrison Building into a capital projects
account.
• A bid of $7,699 was accepted from
Bollinger Inc. for sports insurance.
Bollinger’s plan of a $30 premium for vol-
untary student accident insurance was
also accepted.
• Resignations from the education-
al staff by Bethany Bosak and Karen
Brubaker were accepted with regret.
• PNC Bank of Mocanaqua was select-
ed as depository and acting district trea-
surer for 2013-14.

SANFORD, FLA. — A
friend who was on the
phone with 17-year-old
Trayvon Martin moments
before he was fatally shot
by George Zimmerman
testified that she heard the
Miami teen shout, “Get off!
Get off!” before his tele-
phone went dead.
Rachel Jeantel, 19,
recounted to jurors in
Zimmerman’s second-
degree murder trial how
Martin told her he was
being followed by a man
as he walked through the
Retreat at Twin Lakes
townhome complex on his
way back from a conve-
nience store to the home of
his father’s fiancee.
Jeantel is considered
one of the prosecution’s
most important witnesses
because she was the last
person to talk to Martin
before his encounter with
Zimmerman on Feb. 26,
2012.
She testified that Martin
described the man follow-
ing him as “a creepy-ass
cracker” and he thought
he had evaded him. But
she said a short time later
Martin let out a profanity.
Martin said Zimmerman
was behind him and she
heard Martin ask: “What
are you following me for?”
She then heard what
sounded like Martin’s
phone earpiece drop into
the grass and she heard
him say, “Get off! Get off!”
The phone then went dead,
she said.
Zimmerman, 29, could
get life in prison if con-
victed of second-degree
murder for killing Martin.
Zimmerman followed him
in his truck and called a
police dispatch number
before he and the teen got
into a fight.
Zimmerman has claimed
self-defense, saying he
opened fire after the teen-
ager jumped him and began
slamming his head against
the concrete sidewalk.
Zimmerman identifies him-
self as Hispanic and has
denied that his confronta-
tion with the black teenager
had anything to do with
race, as Martin’s family and
its supporters have claimed.
Jeantel’s testimony came
after two former neighbors
of Zimmerman testified
Wednesday about hearing
howls and shouts for help
in the moments before the
shooting.
Jayne Surdyka told the
court that immediately
before the shooting, she
heard an aggressive voice
and a softer voice exchang-
ing words for several min-
utes in an area behind her
townhome at the Retreat at
Twin Lakes.
“It was someone being
very aggressive and angry
at someone,” she said.
During the struggle, she
said, she saw a person in
dark clothes on top of the
other person. Martin was
wearing a dark sweatshirt
and Zimmerman wore red
clothing. Surdyka said she
saw the person who was on
top get off the body after
the shot was fired. Surdyka
said she heard cries for help
and then multiple gunshots:
“pop, pop, pop.” Only one
shot was fired in the fatal
encounter. “I truly believe
the second yell for help was
a yelp,” said Surdyka, who
later dabbed away tears as
prosecutors played her 911
call. “It was excruciating.
I really felt it was a boy’s
voice.”
During cross-examina-
tion, defense attorney Don
West tried to show there
was a lapse in what Surdyka
saw. Defense attorneys con-
tend Martin was on top of
Zimmerman during the
struggle, but after the neigh-
borhood watch volunteer
fired a shot, Zimmerman
got on top of Martin.
West also challenged
Surdyka about her belief
that the cry for help was a
boy’s voice, saying she was
making an assumption.
The other neighbor,
Jeannee Manalo, testi-
fied that she believed
Zimmerman was on top of
Martin, saying he was the
bigger of the two based on
pictures she saw of Martin
on television after the fight.
Manalo also described
hearing howling, but she
couldn’t tell who it was
coming from, and then a
“help sound” a short time
later.
Under cross-examina-
tion, defense attorney Mark
O’Mara asked why Manalo
had never mentioned her
belief that Zimmerman was
on top in previous police
interviews. He also got
her to concede that her
perception of Martin’s size
was based on five-year-old
photos on television that
showed a younger and
smaller Martin.
Martin’s parents have
said they believe the cries
for help heard by neigh-
bors came from their son,
while Zimmerman’s father
believes the cries belong
to his son. Both prosecu-
tors and defense attorneys
believe they could show
whether Zimmerman or
Martin was the aggressor
in the encounter. Defense
attorneys successfully
argued against allowing
prosecution experts who
claimed the cries belonged
to Martin.
Jeantel on Wednesday
testified that she believed
the cries were Martin’s
because “Trayvon has
kind of a baby voice.” The
defense attorney challenged
that, claiming she was less
certain in a previous deposi-
tion.
Jeantel, 19, also explained
that she had initially lied
about her age — she
claimed to be 16 — to pro-
tect her privacy. when

SAN DIEGO — The military’s highest
court overturned a murder conviction
Wednesday against a Camp Pendleton
Marine in one of the most significant
cases against American troops from the
Iraq war.
The Court of Appeals for the Armed
Forces threw out the conviction of Sgt.
Lawrence Hutchins III of Plymouth,
Mass., who has served about half of his
11-year sentence.
According to the ruling posted on the
court’s website, the judges agreed with
Hutchins, who claimed his constitutional
rights were violated when he was held in
solitary confinement without access to
a lawyer for seven days during his 2006
interrogation in Iraq.
The decision is seen as a major blow
to the military’s prosecution of Iraqi war
crimes.
Hutchins led an eight-man squad
accused of kidnapping an Iraqi man from
his home in April 2006, marching him to
a ditch and shooting him to death in the
village of Hamdania.
Hutchins has said he thought the
man — who turned out to be a retired
policeman — was an insurgent leader.
Prosecutors accused the squad of planting
a shovel and AK-47 to make it appear he
was an insurgent.
None of the other seven squad members
served more than 18 months.
The move is the latest in a series of
twists and turns for Hutchins, whose case
already was overturned once by a lower
court three years ago.
The lower court ruled Hutchins’ 2007
trial was unfair because his lead defense
lawyer quit shortly before it began. The
military’s highest court disagreed on that
point and reinstated Hutchins’ conviction
in 2011, sending him back to the brig
after eight months working at a desk job
at California’s Camp Pendleton. The high
court said at the time that the problem
wasn’t grave enough to warrant throwing
out the conviction.
On Wednesday, it agreed with Hutchins’
latest petition.
Hutchins’ lawyer, Babu Kaza, said he
expects him to now be released in days.
“Sgt. Hutchins and his family have suf-
fered enough with this case, and it’s time
for this to be over,” Kaza said. “Enough is
enough.”
The Navy can appeal to the Supreme
Court or send the case to the convening
authority, who can either order a retrial or
let the ruling stand.
Navy officials could not be immediately
reached for comment.
In their ruling Wednesday, the
court’s judges said the Naval Criminal
Investigative Services violated Hutchins’
Fifth Amendment rights when it interro-
gated him in May 2006 about the incident
and then put him in a trailer in Fallujah
with no access to a lawyer or phones.
After seven days, the same Navy inves-
tigator returned and asked Hutchins for
permission to search his belongings.
Hutchins said he asked to tell his side
of the story and was told he could do so
the next day, when he waived his right to
counsel and provided a sworn statement
about the crimes.
The judges ruled much of the case rested
on that confession, which they determined
was illegally obtained after Hutchins was
held under guard for seven days.
“Accordingly, under the circumstances
of this case, it was error for the military
judge to admit the statement made by
Hutchins on May 19, 2006,” the judges
concluded in their ruling.
The case was among the most serious
Iraqi war crimes prosecuted by the gov-
ernment. In another major case that took
six years, the lone Marine convicted in the
killings of 24 unarmed Iraqi civilians in a
raid in Haditha seven years ago reached a
deal to escape jail time.
Another case involved the November
2004 death of an unarmed Iraqi detainee
in Fallujah. One Marine was spared prison
time after pleading guilty to dereliction
of duty, and another was acquitted. Their
former squad leader was acquitted in fed-
eral court.
Former Navy officer David Glazier, a
professor at Loyola Law School in Los
Angeles, said Wednesday’s ruling dem-
onstrates the military’s poor prosecution
record.
“For these very serious allegations of
conduct that one would think of as war
crimes, the military justice system has
not performed very well in the past couple
decades,” Glazier said.
“Here this guy’s conviction is over-
turned on the basis that he was mistreated
by the government during his initial appre-
hension, and yet he’s already served five
years in prison,” he added. “If the convic-
tion was unjust in the first place, it’s kind
of appalling it’s taken the military justice
system five years to resolve it.”
Hutchins’ lawyer said his client told him
after the ruling that he can’t wait to return
to his wife and two children.

WILKES-BARRE — A
Nanticoke man has been
charged with involuntary
manslaughter for what he
says was an accidental shoot-
ing that killed his friend on
Tuesday.
Brandon Leigh Switzer,
22, of East Union Street,
told police his thumb slipped
off the hammer on his 9mm
handgun and discharged
a round striking Zachary
Williams, 23, in the head
at 32 N. Sherman St. just
before 4 p.m.
Williams was pronounced
dead at Geisinger Wyoming
Valley Medical Center in
Plains Township.
City police and Luzerne
County detectives charged
Switzer Tuesday night. He
was arraigned by District
Judge Rick
C r o n a u e r
and released
after post-
ing $250,000
bail.
Wi l l i ams,
a graduate
of Greater
Na n t i c o k e
Area High School, was
employed at Mohegan Sun
at Pocono Downs casino in
Plains Township, according
to his Facebook profile.
In a statement to police,
Switzer claimed Edward
Berkowitz and Williams
showed up at about 1 p.m.
at his Nanticoke residence,
where they stayed for about
one hour. Switzer said he
took his firearm that was
kept in a shoulder holster
with him when they trav-

North Sherman Street.

ly lived on Park Street,
Nanticoke, had moved in
with Berkowitz in late May.
While at Berkowitz’s
house, Switzer said he took
the firearm and placed it on
a couch or table. He told
police Williams kept asking
to see the firearm, accord-
ing to the criminal com-
plaint.
Switzer removed the
firearm from the holster
and cleared the weapon
before giving it to Williams.
Williams disassembled and
assembled the firearm sev-
eral times, according to
Switzer’s account.
Switzer stated he was
“amazed at the ease at which
(Williams) was able to per-
form this action,” the com-
plaint states.
Williams returned the
firearm to Switzer, who rein-
serted the magazine and
chambered a round.
Switzer claimed Williams
again asked to see the weap-
on. Switzer ejected the mag-
azine and began to give the
weapon to Williams when he
realized there was a round in
the chamber, he said.
Williams grabbed the muz-
zle, Switzer said. Switzer’s
thumb slipped off the ham-
mer, he said, causing the
firearm to discharge a round
that struck Williams in the
head, the complaint states.
Berkowitz told police
Switzer and Williams “began
to play with a weapon … by
loading and unloading the
weapon.” Berkowitz said
he walked out of a bath-
room looking at his phone
when he heard a gunshot,
and Williams’ head slumped
down. Berkowitz called 911
and waited with Switzer out-
side for police, he said.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on July 11 before
District Judge Martin Kane.

Wells Fargo team
builds up Habitat
Continuing to partner with
Wyoming Valley Habitat for
Humanity to help build homes that
will be affordable to low-income fam-
ilies, Wells Fargo presented Habitat
with a $35,000 grant and 600 hours
of construction by members of the
Wells Fargo team.
Wyoming Valley Habitat for
Humanity is a nonprofit organization
that builds simple homes to sell to
families in need. An average Habitat
house for a family of four is 1,100
square feet, has three bedrooms and
costs $65,000 to build.
Wells Fargo is a national partner
with Habitat for Humanity and has
provided its affiliates with $58 mil-
lion and more than 4 million volun-
teer hours since 1993.
Habitat families are selected based
on level of need, willingness to become
partners in the Habitat program and the
ability to repay a no-interest, 20-year
mortgage. Mortgage payments are “recy-
cled” to help build more homes for other
qualified families. Families who purchase
Habitat homes invest at least 300 hours
of “sweat equity” volunteer labor.

Court orders
Glodzik to
appear for
deposition
Jerry Lynott
[email protected]
PITTSTON — A federal judge
ordered Leo A. Glodzik III to
appear for a deposition after the
attorney in a pending civil case
said he’s refusing to comply.
Glodzik, 42, was subpoenaed
to give testimony under oath
Wednesday at the law offices
of attorney Cynthia Pollick in
Pittston. His latest refusal com-
pelled Pollick to ask for a court
order for an Aug. 16 deposition.
Pollick said Glodzik has been
served with subpoenas several
times, the latest on June 12 at
his residence on Morgan Drive,
Wilkes-Barre. “Each subpoena
has been met with resistance
with the excuse that Defendant
Glodzik is going out of town and
is unavailable,” Pollick said in a
court document filed Tuesday.
Glodzik had been at LAG
Towing, his towing business on
Carey Avenue, earlier Wednesday,
said a man working in the garage.
No one answered the door at his
house Wednesday afternoon.
Other pending legal matters
await Glodzik.
He has a preliminary hearing
next month for allegedly stealing
$2,100 left in a vehicle in a sting
operation by the FBI. The city
suspended his $50,050 annual
towing contract after he was
charged and is in the process of
appointing an independent arbi-
trator to confirm the suspension.
Separately, the state filed a
$519,204 lien against him last
week for allegedly failing to pay
personal income tax.
Also, Glodzik purchased the
former Old River Road Bakery
property for $38,000, but the
city rescinded the sale in 2011
because it was unable to receive
the tax forgiveness necessary to
obtain a clear title to complete
the sale. The city had not publicly
advertised the property to ensure
it obtained the highest offer, lead-
ing to complaints about how it
handled the sale.
Among the complaints was
a lawsuit filed by Tyler and
Antonia Hammond whose prop-
erty is next to the former bak-
ery. The Hammonds claimed
the city engaged in “what could
be considered insider trading”
by having the property pulled
from Luzerne County’s tax sale
list in September 2009 to make
way for Glodzik who they say
was a private client of Mayor
Tom Leighton’s real estate busi-
ness and assistant city attorney
William Vinsko’s law firm.
The Hammonds said they were
denied the right to buy the former
bakery and that Glodzik damaged
their property and encroached on
it when he put up a fence.
The property was sold last year
for $50,000 to 250 Old River
Road LLC, which is in the process
of relocating Harrold’s Pharmacy
to the site. A little more than a
year ago the city’s planning and
zoning hearing board approved
Bruce Lefkowitz’s plans for the
property.

Times Leader Correspondent
West Pittston residents wanted to
know how the Biggert-Waters Flood
Insurance Reform Act of 2012
would impact their community.
On Wednesday night, an informa-
tional forum organized by the bor-
ough and West Pittston Tomorrow
addressed their concerns. Some of
the news was not good.
Rich Sobota of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
said many of the insurance subsi-
dies previously available to West
Pittston residents would be phased
out. After a financial analysis,
Congress had decided that insur-
ance subsidies to those in the flood
plain were fiscally impractical, he
said.
Subsidies will be withdrawn
gradually, and Sobota offered alter-
natives to mitigate flood risk and
lower flood insurance rates such as
elevating structures, flood-proofing
and raising electrical appliances to
18 inches above anticipated flood-
ing levels.
He provided information in
regard to keeping subsidized rates
on one’s primary residence, such
as avoiding any lapse in insurance
and using caution when making any
title changes.
He also encouraged residents to
work closely with their own insur-
ance providers.
Resident Walt Kuharchik thought
some mitigation options presented
were unreasonable.
“Many residents have electrical
appliances and utilities in place in
their basement,” said Kuharchik.
“The cost of moving them would be
a hardship.”
Tony Clark, representing the
Army Corps of Engineers, dis-
cussed the possibility of implement-
ing a levee system, including a cost/
benefit analysis.
Barry Hosier, West Pittston
borough council president, said
his biggest concern was the bor-
ough’s probationary status with
FEMA’s National Flood Insurance
Program. He shared the borough’s
commitment to compliance with
FEMA regulations, and encour-
aged residents to respond in a
timely way to any requests for
information.
Lifting of the probationary sta-
tus would make it possible for
West Pittston borough to join the
Community Rating System, provid-
ing opportunity to lower premiums
in exchange for borough participa-
tion in flood mitigation efforts.
Many attendees said they
failed to understand how money
appropriated for disaster relief
had not reached the area. Andy
Reilly, Luzerne County Office of
Community Development said
a $25 million block grant was
directed toward Luzerne County.
He said the county had submitted
the required plans for receipt of
the grant monies and it had been
accepted by HUD. Much of that
amount would be used to address
infrastructure concerns.
Some West Pittston residents
continued to express frustration
with the process of rebuilding their
community and their own lives.
“We though our flood insurance
completely covered any flood loss,”
said one attendee, “but then our
insurance company cited deprecia-
tion, and we got much less then the
amount we had anticipated.”
Many expressed gratitude for
FEMA for such benefits as provid-
ing them with trailers during the
time they were not able to live in
their homes.

SCRANTON — An attorney for former Dallas head
football coach Ted Jackson Sr. said he will file a more
detailed lawsuit against the school district alleging the
Hall of Fame coach was illegally replaced.
U.S. District Court Judge James M. Munley last week
dismissed a section of the first lawsuit attorney Kim
Borland filed on behalf of Jackson in September.
Munley, in a 23-page response to the lawsuit, provided
an opportunity for Jackson to clarify violations of his First
Amendment right to free speech that he alleges was a
factor in the school board replacing him as head football
coach in February 2012. Jackson, 62, of Dallas, claims he
was fired after he spoke out against the suspension of his
son, Ted Jackson Jr. Jackson Jr. was suspended as an assis-
tant football coach for two games during the 2011 season
after receiving unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in con-
secutive games. He was fired as the high school’s basket-
ball coach in November 2011 after a due process hearing
with school officials.
Munley noted public employees, those employed
by a governmental body such as a school district,
have limited rights to express their opinions. Public
employees are protected when expressing opinions out
of public concern, Munley cited.
Before Munley can address Jackson’s speech claim,
the judge said he needs to know Jackson’s “Content,
form and context” in how and what was exactly stated
by the head coach.
The school board reopened the position of head foot-
ball coach after the 2011 season. Jackson applied for
the position but was not retained. The board elected
to hire Robert Zaruta as head coach in February 2012.
Jackson’s lawsuit alleges board members Catherine
Wega, Maureen B. Matiska, Karen B. Kyle, Larry G.
Schuler, Richard G. Coslet and Charles Preece, who
are named in the lawsuit, have a political affiliation
with Zaruta. wMunley allowed Jackson’s punitive dam-
ages claim, in which he is seeking in excess of $70,000, to
continue against board members only in their individual
capacities. The judge dismissed Jackson’s punitive damag-
es’ claims against the school district and members in their
official capacities as school directors.
“We are going to be refiling the one issue (First
Amendment),” Borland said. “Everything else was pushed
through. We just need to clarify that one issue.”

Fire company closure
raises some concerns
Jon O’Connell
[email protected]
RICE TWP. — It all
comes down to insurance.
Township residents
are concerned homeown-
ers’ premiums will spike
because the township
supervisors have decer-
tified their fire depart-
ment and are working
toward a contract with
Wright Township Fire
Department.
Rice Township
Volunteer Fire
Department, officially
decertified at a Tuesday
night meeting, needs
insurance to continue
operating and can’t get
certain coverage without
the help of the township
that just dropped it.
Paul Eyerman, chief of
the Rice Township depart-
ment, said he got a call
from secretary/treasurer
Don Armstrong Tuesday
night informing him that
the insurance for all fire
trucks is to be immedi-
ately suspended.
Stating they must do
their best to ensure the
township’s safety, town-
ship supervisors voted 2-1
to decertify the depart-
ment. Supervisors Miller
Stella Jr. and George
Venesky voted “yes” to
decertify. Marcia Thomas
voted “no.”
Jon O’Connell|The Times Leader
Wright Township volunteer firefighters leave the station Wednesday after being called out to assist
in a medical emergency in Rice Township. The department is to take over as Rice Township’s primary
responder after Rice supervisors decertified their department Tuesday.
Bill Tarutis|The Times Leader
Former Dallas football coach Ted Jackson Sr. reacts during the
Dallas football reunion in his honor at the Irem Temple Country
Club in Dallas Township on Sunday evening.
Rice Township residents
wonder if homeowners’
premiums will spike.
The department owns
the equipment and the
station property. The vol-
unteers could respond to a
call if they have the prop-
er insurances, including
workers’ compensation
in case a firefighter gets
hurt on the scene and
liability insurance for the
fire trucks and building.
Eyerman said they have
contacted several work-
ers’ compensation insur-
ers and learned that this
insurance is available
only through the munici-
pality.
“We checked with some
insurance agents. No
fire department pays (its
own) workers’ compensa-
tion,” Eyerman said.
Rice and Wright town-
ships will have to pitch
in to pay workers’ com-
pensation insurance for
the Wright Township
department. The expense
will be taken from Rice
Township’s monthly
$2,500 as part of a sev-
en-year contract with
Wright Township Fire
Department.
Liability and property
insurers have been noti-
fied of Rice Township’s
decertification.
Eyerman said they are
pursuing other options
for building and vehicle
insurance, which will be
the first step in achieving
a successful merger with
Wright Township.
At the Tuesday meeting,
residents claimed they
would see their homeown-
ers insurance rise signifi-
cantly because the depart-
ment is closing.
If a home is beyond
five roadway miles from
a fire department, it
is considered unpro-
tected by fire services,
and Ray Staudenmeier,
of Staudenmeier
Insurance in Wilkes-Barre
Township, said there are
some companies that will
not cover an unprotected
home.
Staudenmeier gave an
example of a homeowner
with a $1,000 annual pre-
mium whose property
sits in a protected area.
If that area’s protection
classification changes,
because of lack of close
fire protection or if the
nearest fire department
loses a truck or all of its
manpower, that property
could move to a semi-
protected or unprotected
status, he said.
Protection classifi-
cations are set by the
Insurance Services
Office.

LARKSVILLE — A
woman was arraigned
Wednesday on charges
she intentionally struck
her boyfriend with her
vehicle.
Police allege Melissa
Jaslar, 37, of Midtown
Village, Larksville, displayed
signs of intoxication after
she drove into Brian Reed,
32, on Carver Street just
before 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
According to the criminal
complaint: Reed was found
lying in brush along Carver
Street with two 24-ounce
cans of beer. He seemed
intoxicated, police said.
Reed claimed his girl-
friend, Jaslar, ran him
over with her vehicle as he
was walking home, police
said. He was transported
to Geisinger Wyoming
Valley Medical Center in
Plains Township for back
and leg injuries.
Police were unable to
Woman allegedly drives vehicle into boyfriend
find Jaslar at her resi-
dence, where she
parked her vehicle.
She returned to
Carver Street as
police were inter-
viewing a witness
asking, “Is Brian
OK? I’m his girl-
friend,” the com-
plaint states.
Jaslar displayed signs
of intoxication when she
returned to the scene,
police said.
She toldpolice she argued
with Reed at her residence,
where he grabbed two cans
of beer from the refrigera-
tor. As she was driving him
home on Carver Street, she
said Reed got out of her
vehicle and began
walking.
Jaslar said she
struck Reed once
with the vehicle.
Reed yelled to
her, “You can do
better than that”
as he continued
to walk, accord-
ing to the complaint.
Jaslar told police she
drove at a high rate of speed
and struck Reed, causing
him to be thrown in brush
along the street, the com-
plaint states.
Jaslar submitted to
a blood-alcohol test at
Geisinger Wyoming Valley.
Police charged Jaslar
with three counts of driv-
ing under the influence
of alcohol, and one count
each of aggravated assault
by vehicle while DUI, reck-
less driving, careless driv-
ing, failure to stop and
render aid and accidents
causing injury. She was
arraigned by District Judge
James Tupper in Kingston
Township and jailed
at the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility for
lack of $20,000 bail.
A preliminary hearing
is scheduled for July 11
before District Judge David
Barilla in Swoyersville.

WASHINGTON — The
Internal Revenue Service
long has resisted efforts by
an inteanal watchdog to help
groups seeking tax-exempt
status, creating a culture that
enabled agents to improperly
target such organizations
for additional scrutiny, the
National Taxpayer Advocate
reported Wednesday.
Nina E. Olson, who runs
the independent office with-
in the IRS, said in her annual
report to Congress that cul-
ture continues today, despite
the scandal that has rocked
the tax agency for more than
a month.
Olson recommended that
Congress authorize her to
make “apology payments”
of up to $1,000 to groups in
cases in which “the IRS has
caused excessive expense
or undue burden to the tax-
payer, and the taxpayer has
experienced a significant
hardship.”
She said her office first
approached the IRS about a
backlog of applications for
tax-exempt status in 2007.
Olson has the authority to
intervene in cases in which
IRS actions are causing a
“significant hardship” for
taxpayers.
But the report said
the agency’s Exempt
Organizations division resist-
ed Olson’s efforts, contend-
ing that she had no authority
to intervene in such cases.
“The attitude that (Exempt
Organizations) does not have
to be responsive to (the tax-
payer advocate) permeated
the organization and persists
to this day, with one EO
employee recently complain-
ing about being ‘so tired of
you calling,’” the report said.
ATTLEBORO, Mass. —NewEngland
Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez
was arrested Wednesday and charged
with murder in the shooting death of a
friend prosecutors say had angered the
football player at a nightclub a few days
earlier by talking to the wrong people.
Hernandez, 23, was taken from his
North Attleborough home in handcuffs
just over a week after Boston semi-pro
football player Odin Lloyd’s bullet-
riddled body was found in an industrial
park about a mile away.
Less than two hours after the arrest,
the Patriots announced they had cut
Hernandez, a 2011 Pro Bowl selection
who signed a five-year contract worth
$40 million last summer.
Lloyd was a 27-year-old athlete with
the Boston Bandits who was dating the
sister of Hernandez’s fiancee. He was
shot repeatedly in the back and chest,
authorities said.
Hernandez “orchestrated the crime
from the beginning,” prosecutor Bill
McCauley said.
If convicted, the NFL player could get
life in prison without parole.
“It is at bottom a circumstantial case.
It is not a strong case,” his attorney,
Michael Fee, said at a court hearing
during which Hernandez was ordered
held without bail on murder charges
and five weapons counts.
Lloyd’s family members cried
and hugged in the courtroom as the
prosecutor outlined the killing. Two
relatives were so overcome with
emotion that they had to leave the
courtroom.
McCauley said the crime stemmed
from a night out at a Boston club called
Rumor on June 14. He said Hernandez
was upset about certain things,
including that Lloyd had talked to some
people Hernandez “had troubles with.”
Two days later, McCauley said, on the
night of June 16, Hernandez texted two
friends from out of state and asked them
to hurry back to Massachusetts.
Surveillance footage from outside
Hernandez’s home showed him leaving
with a gun, and he told someone
in the house that he was upset and
couldn’t trust anyone anymore, the
prosecutor said.
The three men picked up Lloyd at
his home around 2:30 a.m., according
to authorities. As they drove around,
they discussed what happened at the
nightclub, and Lloyd started getting
nervous, McCauley said.
Lloyd texted his sister, “Did you see
who I am with?” When she asked who,
he answered, at 3:22 a.m., “NFL,” then,
a minute later, “Just so you know.”
Within a fewminutes, people working
the overnight shift at the industrial
park reported hearing gunshots,
McCauley said.
Investigators did not specify who
fired the shots and did not identify
the two other people who were with
Hernandez.
Hernandez had recently installed a
surveillance system and had 14 cameras
inside and outside the house, according
to McCauley, who said detectives found
footage was missing from the six or
eight hours after the slaying.
In arguing unsuccessfully for bail,
Hernandez’s attorney said the athlete
is unlikely to flee, is a homeowner, and
lives with his fiancee and an 8-month-
old baby. He also said Hernandez had
never been accused of a violent crime.
As he was led from his home in the
morning, Hernandez was wearing a
white V-neck T-shirt, with his arms
inside the shirt and behind his back. He
spit into some bushes on his way to a
police cruiser.
Later, as he was taken from the North
Attleborough police station to court,
two dozen supporters cheered, some
yelling, “We love you, Aaron!”
“Words cannot express the
disappointment we feel knowing that
one of our players was arrested as a
result of this investigation,” the Patriots
said in a statement announcing he had
been cut.
The team added: “We realize that
law enforcement investigations into
this matter are ongoing. We support
their efforts and respect the process. At
this time, we believe this transaction is
simply the right thing to do.”
The Patriots drafted Hernandez, who
is originally from Bristol, Conn., in
2010 out of the University of Florida,
where he was an All-American.
During the draft, one team said
it wouldn’t take him under any
circumstances, and he was passed over
by one club after another before New
England took him in the fourth round.
Afterward, Hernandez said he had
failed a drug test in college —reportedly
for marijuana — and was up front with
teams about it.
In other off-the-field troubles, a
Florida man filed a lawsuit last week
claiming Hernandez shot him in the
face after they argued at a strip club in
February.
And The Boston Globe reported
that Hernandez lost his temper and
threatened a teammate during an
argument in the team’s weight room
shortly after he was drafted.
Hernandez became a father on Nov.
6, and said he intended to change his
ways: “Now, another one is looking up
to me. I can’t just be young and reckless
Aaron no more. I’m going to try to do
the right things.”

claims, Pennsylvania is also
too slow in approving food-
stamp applications, compel-
ling the federal government
to order the state to improve
its performance.
Pennsylvania ranks among
the worst in the nation for get-
ting food stamps to the needy
within 30 days, as required by
federal law, according to an
Inquirer examination of data
from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, which runs the
food-stamp program.
“There are only a few states
where the problem is as
extreme as in Pennsylvania,”
said David Super, poverty
law professor at Georgetown
University School of Law. The
USDA ranks Pennsylvania
39th on a list of 53 that
includes the 50 states, the
District of Columbia, Guam,
and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Critics say Pennsylvania
causes backlogs by scrimping
on caseworkers and empha-
sizing fraud prevention even
though food-stamp fraud is
rare. The result is that many
of the neediest citizens going
without benefits for which
they qualify.
Acknowledging the food-
stamp problem, Anne Bale,
a spokeswoman for the
Department of Public Welfare,
said, “We have every intent of
doing better.”
Bale said the DPW, which
oversees the distribution of
food stamps in Pennsylvania,
is working on a plan to correct
its timeliness, as ordered by
the USDA in December.
She said one reason for
poor performance was that
so many people — 1.8 mil-
lion — receive food stamps,
also known as SNAP benefits
(for Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program).
Bale added that many cli-
ents wait until the last minute
to submit their paperwork,
causing delays.
Advocates for the poor say
the problem is that the state
has too few caseworkers pro-
cessing forms.
They also say that the state
spends so much time look-
ing for fraud that it creates a
system too full of red tape to
function properly.
USDA figures show that
even though several states
process more claims than
Pennsylvania does, they do so
more quickly.
New York has more than
3.1 million SNAP recipients,
yet it processed 90.94 percent
of its benefits in the proper
amount of time. Florida has
nearly twice the number of
Pennsylvania’s SNAP recipi-
ents (3.5 million), yet gar-
nered a timeliness rate of
94.01.
Pennsylvania’s most recent
timeliness rating was 81.44.
Any state below 90 per-
cent must devise a corrective
action plan that brings its
timeliness up to 95 percent,
according to USDA rules.
CAIRO
Military braces for
protests
Egypt’s military on Wednesday
brought in reinforcements of troops
and armor to bases near Egyptian
cities ahead of June 30 protests
planned by the opposition to force
the Islamist president out, security
officials said.
The announcement comes amid
heavy speculation over the army’s role
in the upcoming crisis. The presidency
says that the military has been
coordinating closely with President
Mohammed Morsi’s government in the
run-up to the protests, but activists
say they are looking to the army for
protection from hard-line government
supporters.
Some Islamists accuse activists of
paving the ground for a coup, a charge
that the opposition vehemently denies.
The officials said the deployments
are restricted to the outskirts of major
cities and inside existing military
facilities.
The protests mark Morsi’s first year
in office.
BEIRUT
Report: Police
abuse detainees
Lebanon’s police forces are
mistreating and torturing people,
especially drug users, sex workers and
homosexuals, an international human
rights group said in a report released
Wednesday.
New York-based Human Rights
Watch said its 66-page report is based
on more than 50 interviews with
people detained for suspected drug
use, sex work or homosexuality over
the past five years.
In the report, HRW said the most
common forms of torture reported
were beatings with fists, boots, or
implements such as sticks, canes and
rulers. It said 17 former detainees it
interviewed said they were denied
food, water, or medication when they
needed it, or that their medication was
confiscated.
BAYHEAD, N.J.
Mine detonated
in Atlantic
A military explosives team has
detonated a suspected mine that a
diver discovered partially buried in the
sand in the ocean off New Jersey.
Naval Weapons Station Earle public
affairs officer Michael Brady says the
base’s explosives ordnance disposal
detachment will go back in the ocean
to be sure they eliminated the whole
device.
Brady says the device is believed to
be a contact mine, but it’s not known
whether there were explosives inside
or if it was just used for training.
Authorities evacuated about 15
homes and a quarter mile radius as a
precaution.
Brady says Superstorm Sandy might
have exposed the device last year.

Two-headed
turtle born
The San Antonio Zoo has
announced the hatching of a thriving
two-headed turtle that’s been named
Thelma and Louise.
Zoo officials say the Texas cooter
came out of its egg on June 18. The
unusual turtle will go on display today
at the zoo’s Friedrich Aquarium.
Zoo spokeswoman Debbie Rios-
Vanskike said that the two-headed
turtle appears healthy and has been
swimming and walking. She had no
immediate details on the projected
life span of Thelma and Louise. The
gender of the reptile has yet to be
determined.

BPfres

inwar
over spill
payouts
NEW ORLEANS — With an
ad blitz and a tersely worded let-
ter, BP is mounting an increas-
ingly aggressive campaign to
challenge what could be billions
of dollars in settlement payouts
to businesses following its 2010
oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
In letters that started going
out Tuesday, BP warns lawyers
for many Gulf Coast businesses
that it might seek to recover at
least some of their clients’ shares
of the multibillion-dollar settle-
ment if it successfully appeals a
key ruling in the legal wrangling
spawned by the nation’s worst
offshore oil spill.
The London-based oil giant
says it is sending hundreds of
the letters to attorneys for busi-
nesses the company believes
received excessive payments
from the court-supervised settle-
ment program.
“BP reserves whatever rights
it may have to pursue any legal
method to recover such over-
payments,” company attorney
Daniel Cantor wrote in the let-
ter.
James Roy and Stephen
Herman, two of the lead plain-
tiffs’ lawyers who helped bro-
ker the deal with BP, warned
Cantor that his letter “misstates
the law and violates BP’s obli-
gations under the Settlement
Agreement.”
“No process exists to alter the
amount of an award after it has
been paid,” they wrote in a let-
ter dated Monday. “It is obvious
that the timing and tone of your
letter is an attempt to discour-
age claimants from pursuing
claims under the Settlement
Program.”
Meanwhile, BP also was plac-
ing a full-page advertisement
in three of the nation’s largest
newspapers Wednesday that
accuses “trial lawyers and some
politicians” of encouraging busi-
nesses to submit thousands of
claims for inflated or non-exis-
tent losses.
“Whatever you think about
BP, we can all agree that it’s
wrong for anyone to take money
they don’t deserve,” says the ad,
which was scheduled to appear
in The New York Times, Wall
Street Journal and Washington
Post. “And it’s unfair to every-
one in the Gulf — commercial
fishermen, restaurant and hotel
owners, and all the other hard-
working people who’ve filed
legitimate claims for real losses.”
In April, U.S. District Judge
Carl Barbier upheld a court-
appointed claims adminis-
trator’s interpretation of the
multi-billion dollar settlement
it reached with a group of plain-
tiffs’ attorneys.
BP appealed the decision. A
three-judge panel from the 5th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
is scheduled to hear the
case July 8.

HARRISBURG —
Pennsylvania lawmakers
still have time to finish
work on major bills, but
changes to the state’s major
public employee pension
systems might have to wait
until after the Legislature’s
summer break, House
Speaker Sam Smith said
Wednesday.
Smith’s comments came
amid conflicting estimates
of the cost of the potential
pension changes as the
hours ticked down to law-
makers’ expected Sunday
departure from Harrisburg
for the summer.
“Given the complexity of
that issue, I think it’s going
to be tough” for lawmakers
to reach a consensus on
pensions before they are
scheduled to adjourn this
weekend, Smith said in an
impromptu news briefing.
The Jefferson County
Republican said lawmakers
have ample time to pass
a 2013-14 state budget
and potentially to reach a
consensus on some of the
issues Gov. Tom Corbett
has stressed, including
transportation funding and
the liberalization of liquor,
wine and beer sales.
Underscoring Corbett’s
desire for pension changes,
Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley and
House Majority Leader
Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny,
circulated the Capitol for
part of Wednesday in an
effort to persuade skeptical
House Republicans to back
pension legislation the gov-
ernor supports.
Cawley said he remained
optimistic the Legislature
would be able to pass legis-
lation on the governor’s top
three priorities — pensions,
transportation funding
and liquor, wine and beer
sales — by Sunday night.
Pension bills may have to wait until afer break
“I feel very optimistic, but I
also knowthat at this time of
year there’s always the poten-
tial for something unforeseen
to happen,” Cawley said.
The focus on public pen-
sions has narrowed from
Corbett’s sweeping plan to
slash future benefits for cur-
rent employees to proposals
that would replace the tradi-
tional pension plans with a
401(k)-style plan that would
become mandatory for newly
hired state workers and
school employees in 2015.

MOSCOW — Moscow’s main
airport swarmed with journalists
from around the globe Wednesday,
but the man they were looking for
— National Security Agency leaker
Edward Snowden — was nowhere
to be seen. The mystery of his
whereabouts only deepened a day
after President Vladimir Putin said
that Snowden was in the transit
area of Sheremetyevo Airport.
An Associated Press reporter
entered the area Wednesday by fly-
ing from Kiev, Ukraine, and found
ordinary scenes of duty free shop-
ping, snoozing travelers and tour-
ists sipping coffee, but no trace of
America’s most famous fugitive. If
Putin’s statement is true, it means
that Snowden has effectively lived a
life of airport limbo since his week-
end flight from Hong Kong, espe-
cially with his American passport
now revoked by U.S. authorities.
In a further twist, Ecuador’s for-
eign minister said Wednesday it
could take months to decide wheth-
er to grant asylum to Snowden and
the Latin American nation would
take into consideration its rela-
tions with the U.S. when doing so.
Speaking during a visit to Malaysia’s
main city, Kuala Lumpur, Ricardo
Patino compared Snowden’s case to
that of Julian Assange, the founder
of anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks,
who has been given asylum in the
Ecuadorean Embassy in London.
Snowden, who is charged with
violating American espionage laws,
fled Hong Kong over the weekend
and flew to Russia. He booked
a seat on a Havana-bound flight
Monday en route to Venezuela, but
didn’t board the plane.

Immigration bill cruising
to Senate passage
David Espo
and Erica Werner
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Far-
reaching immigration leg-
islation cruised toward
passage in the Senate as
House Republicans pushed
ahead Wednesday on a dif-
ferent approach that cracks
down on millions living in
the United States illegally
rather than offering them a
chance at citizenship.
Presidential politics took
a more prominent role in
a long-running national
debate as Sen. Marco Rubio,
R-Fla., tried to reassure con-
servatives that many of the
criticisms of the bill, which
he helped write, are “just
not true.”
The potential 2016 White
House contender said in
remarks on the Senate floor
it has been difficult for him
“to hear the worry and the
anxiety and the growing
anger in the voices of so
many people who helped
me get elected to the Senate
and who I agree with on vir-
tually every other issue.”
The political impact of
the issue aside, there was
no doubt that the Senate bill
is on track for passage by
today or Friday.
Supporters posted 67
votes or more on each
of three procedural tests
Wednesday, far more than
the 60 needed to pre-
vail. More than a dozen
Republicans sided with
Democrats on each, assur-
ing bipartisan support that
the bill’s backers hope will
change minds in the House.
At its core, the legislation
includes numerous steps to
prevent future illegal immi-
gration, while at the same
time it offers a chance at
citizenship for millions liv-
ing in the country illegally.
It provides for 20,000
new Border Patrol agents,
requires the completion of
700 miles of fencing and
requires an array of high-
tech devices be deployed
to secure the border with
Mexico.
Businesses would be
required to check on the
legal status of prospective
employees. The govern-
ment would be ordered to
install a high-tech system
to check on the comings
and goings of foreigners at
selected international air-
port in the United States.
Other provisions would
expand the number of visas
for highly skilled workers
relied upon by the technolo-
gy industry. A separate pro-
gram would be established
for lower-skilled workers,
and farm workers would be
admitted under a temporary
program.
Some farm workers who
are in the country illegally
can qualify for a green card,
which bestows permanent
residency status, in five
years.
Many of the bill’s support-
ers also cheered a ruling
fromtheSupremeCourt that
said married gay couples
are entitled to the same fed-
eral benefits as heterosexual
couples. The decision would
allow gay married citizens
or permanent residents to
sponsor their foreign-born
spouses for U.S. residency,
and Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano
pledged to implement it.
The basic legislation was
drafted by four Democrats
and four Republicans who
met privately for months
to produce a rare biparti-
san compromise in a polar-
ized Senate. They fended
off unwanted changes
in the Senate Judiciary
Committee, and then were
involved in negotiations
with Republican Sens.
John Hoeven of North
Dakota and Bob Corker of
Tennessee on a package of
tougher border security pro-
visions that swelled support
among Republicans.
The deal-making that
smoothed the way for the
bill frustrated GOP dis-
senters, who complained
angrily on the Senate floor
late Wednesday that they
weren’t being allowed
to offer amendments.
Supporters of the legisla-
tion vehemently disagreed,
until Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.,
snapped: “I’ve just about
had it on this.”
Across the Capitol, an
attempt at a bipartisan
deal faltered, and majority
Republicans began moving
ahead on legislation tai-
lored to the wishes of con-
servatives and vehemently
opposed by Democrats.

HAZLE TWP. — The
Hazleton Area School
Board on Tuesday night
adopted a 2013-14 budget
of nearly $123.5 million
that includes a tax hike
for property owners in the
Schuylkill County portion
of the district, a decrease in
the Carbon County section
of the district but keeps tax
rates for Luzerne County
property owners the same.
Schuylkill County prop-
erty owners will pay about
2 percent more and those
in Carbon County will pay
about 4.2 percent less,
under the spending plan.
District Business
Manager Anthony Ryba
said the new budget will
preserve much of the dis-
trict’s $2 million reserve
fund.
The board also voted
to approve a measure to
advertise for security staff
to oversee metal detectors
in the district’s schools.
The new unarmed security
officers will earn $10 per
hour with a comprehensive
benefits package.
According to school offi-
cials, the total cost of the
new security staff could
top $400,000, which has
not been allocated in next
year’s budget.
The board members
mulled the possibility of
having armed guards in
their facilities; however,
after extensive discussion,
they voted down the armed
security measure, which
would have been imple-
mented at a much higher
overall cost.
Board member Steve
Hahn expressed concerns
regarding the possibility
of armed guards in the dis-
trict and the specific rules
of engagement for lethal
force, if the proposal were
to be adopted. Hahn voted
no on the armed guard pro-
posal.
In other business, the
board:
• Voted to authorize
RBC Capital Market and
Rhoads and Sinon LLP to
proceed with the required
procedures in for the dis-
trict to issue general obliga-
tion bonds in the amount
of $10 million for construc-
tion of the Maple Manor
Project and other capital
projects.
• Approved the hir-
ing of Thomas Orff to the
position of instructional
technology technician at an
annual salary of $68,788.
• Appointed Matthew
Marnell principal of the
McAdoo Elementary/
Middle School at a salary of
$96,525.
• Agreed to hire Dr.
Christopher Lake to be
supervisor of federal pro-
grams at an annual salary
of $93,026.
Hazleton Area budget ups some taxes, decreases others

YATESVILLE — The
Pittston Area School
District property owners
will see their taxes go up
an average of $36 under a
$42.7 million 2013-14 bud-
get the school board adopt-
ed Tuesday night.
The board also revisited
a legal issue that has been a
point of contention over the
past two years.
Residents within the
district will see their prop-
erty tax rate increase from
13.4246 mills to 13.7333
mills. A mill is a dollar per
every $1,000 in assessed
property value. Al Melone,
the financial consultant
contracted by the district
to help prepare the bud-
get, estimated an average
increase of $36 per house-
hold for the school year.
The district budget will
feature expenditures of
$42,767,965 with revenues
of only $43,192,173.
The budget passed by
a margin of 5-2. Board
members Kent Bratlee,
John Donahue, Anthony
Guariglia, Bruce Knick
and Charles Sciandra
voted in favor while Robert
Linskey and Marilyn Starna
opposed.
Board members Richard
Gorzkowski and Joseph
Kelly were absent.
Speaking after the meet-
ing, Sciandra stated his dis-
approval of the tax increase
but explained that he ulti-
mately voted in favor of
the budget to allow district
Superintendent Dr. Michael
Garzella to begin more
effective planning for the
upcoming year.
Linskey, who opposed
the budget, took issue with
administrative personnel
shifts.
In another matter,
Guariglia announced his res-
ignation as the district’s rep-
resentative on the Luzerne
Intermediate Unit board as
part of a settlement dating
back to his joining the board
in 2011.
At that time, Guariglia
was appointed to the board
to replace Robert Linskey,
who in turn claimed his
removal was a politically
motivated repercussion
stemming from a personnel
vote that he cast. Linskey
stated that he consulted his
attorney to formally request
his return to the seat, and
only chose to press his
complaint against the five
school board members
who he believed retaliated
against him, after no action
was taken by the board.
At Tuesday’s meeting,
the details of the settlement
were announced, including
the removal of Guariglia
from the position and the
awarding of $75,000 to
Linskey, who would retain
the right to rescind the
agreement if he was not
nominated back to refill the
position.
Linskey was unanimously
elected back to the LIU
board while stating: “This
is not about the money; it’s
about getting my seat back.”
When Sciandra suggest-
ed Linskey should donate
the $75,000 to the district,
Linskey pointed out that it
would be used to recoup his
legal fees, which he estimat-
ed would be “about 50 per-
cent” of the awarded sum.

N A N T I C O K E
— Luzerne County
Community College will
add two new degree pro-
grams, an Associate of
Science in English and an
Associate in Science in the-
ater, beginning with the fall
2013 semester, the college’s
board of trustees decided
Tuesday night.
These additions are
necessary to uphold the
program-to-program trans-
fer of students from com-
munity colleges to four-
year state universities in
Pennsylvania. Colleges and
universities that participate
in the Statewide College
Credit Transfer System
have developed agreements
that allow students to
transfer their full Associate
of Arts and Associate of
Science degrees into a
bachelor degree program of
a parallel major at the par-
ticipating schools.
The students will be able
to enter the four-year insti-
tutions with a junior stand-
ing, at the same rank as if
they had been students at
the four-year schools from
their first year. This action
is a result of a law passed
three years ago as a “seam-
less pathway” for students
to transfer froma communi-
ty college to a four-year uni-
versity, saidDana Charles
Clark, vice president of aca-
demic affairs.
In other business:
• LCCC Administrative
Director Francis Curry was
sworn in as a member of the
board of trustees by Judge
Michael Vough.
• Nominations have been
approved for the follow-
ing board seats: chairman
Barry Williams, vice chair-
man John Serafin and sec-
retary Carmen Magistro.
• Michael Hilpp has been
hired as the director of the
Public Safety Institute.
• LCCC President
Thomas Leary announced
the college has been
named one of the top
100 community colleges
for its Journalism and
Communications program
by Community College
Week Magazine.
• The trustees also
approved the naming of the
Health Sciences Building,
on East Main Street,
Nanticoke, as the Francis
S. and Mary Gill Carrozza,
R.N. Health Sciences
Center. The nursing and
health sciences programs
will be named the Mary
Gill Carrozza, R.N. School
of Nursing and Health
Science.
LCCC adds degree programs

BEIRUT — More than
100,000 people have been
killed since the start of
the Syrian conflict over
two years ago, an activist
group said Wednesday.
The Britain-based
Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, which has
been tracking the death
toll in the conflict through
a network of activists in
Syria, released its death
toll at a time when hopes
for a negotiated settle-
ment to end the civil
war are fading. It said
it had tallied a total of
100,191 deaths over the
27 months of the conflict,
but Observatory chief
Rami Abdul-Rahman said
he expected the real num-
ber was higher as neither
side was totally forthcom-
ing about its losses.
Of the dead, 36,661 are
civilians, the group said.
On the government
side, 25,407 are mem-
bers of President Bashar
Assad’s armed forces,
17,311 are pro-govern-
ment fighters and 169 are
militants from Lebanon’s
Hezbollah, who have
fought alongside army
troops.
Deaths among Assad’s
opponents included
13,539 rebels, 2,015 army
defectors and 2,518 for-
eign fighters battling
against the regime.
Entry of the foreign
media into Syria is
severely restricted and
few reports from the
fighting can be indepen-
dently verified.
Earlier this month, the
U.N. put the number of
those killed in the con-
flict at 93,000 between
March 2011 when the cri-
sis started and the end of
April this year.
The government has
not released death tolls.
State media published
the names of the govern-
ment’s dead in the first
months of the crisis,
but then stopped pub-
lishing its losses after
the opposition became
an armed insurgency.
Abdul-Rahman said that
the group’s tally of army
casualties is based on
information from mili-
tary medical sources,
records obtained by the
group from state agencies
and activists’ own count
of military funerals in
government areas of the
country.
Another source for
regime fatalities are activ-
ist videos showing dead
soldiers killed in rebel-
held areas who are later
identified.
Abdul-Rahman believes
the number of combat-
ants killed on both sides
is probably much higher
as neither the govern-
ment nor the rebels are
fully transparent about
battlefield casualties.
Syria’s conflict began as
peaceful protests against
Assad’s rule. It gradually
became an armed conflict
after Assad’s regime used
the army to crackdown on
dissent and some opposi-
tion supporters took up
weapons to fight govern-
ment troops.
Even the most modest
international efforts to
end the Syrian conflict
have failed. U.N.’s special
envoy to Syria, Lakhdar
Brahimi, told reporters
on Tuesday that an inter-
national peace confer-
ence proposed by Russia
and the U.S. will not take
place until later in the
summer, partly because
of opposition disarray.
Activists: 100,000 killed in Syria war
Britain-based human rights
group says, of the dead,
36,661 are civilians.

JOHANNESBURG —
South Africa’s president
visited a gravely ill Nelson
Mandela in the hospital
on Wednesday night, and
canceled a visit planned
for today to Mozambique,
an indication of height-
ened concern over the
deteriorating health of the
man widely considered
the father of the country.
President Jacob Zuma
found 94-year-old Mandela
to still be in critical condi-
tion during the 10 p.m.
visit and was briefed by
doctors “who are still
doing everything they can
to ensure his well-being,”
Zuma’s office said in a
statement.
It said the president
decided to cancel a visit to
Maputo, the Mozambican
capital, where he was
to attend a meeting on
regional investment.
As worries over
Mandela mounted, Mac
Maharaj, the presidential
spokesman, declined to
comment on news media
reports that the former
president and anti-apart-
heid leader was on life
support systems in the
Pretoria hospital where
he was taken June 8 to be
treated for what the gov-
ernment said was a recur-
ring lung infection.
“I cannot comment
on the clinical details of
these reports because
that would breach the
confidentiality of the doc-
tor/patient relationship,”
Maharaj said in an inter-
view with South Africa’s
Radio 702.
South Africans were
torn on Wednesday
between the desire not to
lose Mandela, who defined
the aspirations of so
many of his compatriots,
and resignation that the
beloved former prisoner
and president is approach-
ing the end of his life.
The sense of
anticipation and
foreboding about
Mandela’s fate has
grown since late
Sunday, when the
South African gov-
ernment declared
that the condition
of the statesman
had deteriorated. A tide
of emotional tributes has
built on social media and
in hand-written messages
and flowers laid outside
the hospital and Mandela’s
home. On Wednesday,
about 20 children from a
day care center posted a
hand-made card outside
the hospital and recited a
poem.
“Hold on, old man,”
was one of the lines in the
Zulu poem, according to
the South African Press
Association. In recent
days, international lead-
ers, celebrities, athletes
and others have praised
Mandela, not just as the
man who steered South
Africa through its tense
transition from white rac-
ist rule to democracy two
decades ago, but as a uni-
versal symbol of sacrifice
and reconciliation.
In South Africa’s Eastern
Cape province, where
Mandela grew up, a tradi-
tional leader said the time
was near for Mandela, who
is also known by his clan
name, Madiba.
“I am of the view that if
Madiba is no longer enjoy-
ing life, and is on life sup-
port systems, and is not
appreciating what is hap-
pening around him, I think
the good Lord should take
the decision to put him
out of his suffering,” said
the tribal chief, Phathekile
Holomisa.
“I did speak to two of
his family members, and
of course, they are in a lot
of pain, and wish
that a miracle
might happen,
that he recov-
ers again, and he
becomes his old
self again,” he
said. “But at the
same time they
are aware there is
a limit what miracles you
can have.”
For many South
Africans, Mandela’s
decline is a far more per-
sonal matter, echoing the
protracted and emotion-
ally draining process of
losing one of their own
elderly relatives.
One nugget of wisdom
about the arc of life and
death came from Matthew
Rusznyah, a 9-year-old
boy who stopped outside
Mandela’s home in the
Johannesburg neighbor-
hood of Houghton to
show his appreciation.
“We came because we
care about Mandela being
sick, and we wish we
could put a stop to it, like
snap our fingers,” he said.
“But we can’t. It’s how life
works.”
Mandela’s failing health troubles S. Africans
His mother, Lee
Rusznyah, said Mandela,
who spent 27 years in
prison under apartheid
before becoming South
Africa’s first black presi-
dent in all-race elections
in 1994, had made the
world a better place.
“All of us will end,”
Thabo Makgoba, the
Anglican archbishop
of Cape Town, said in
an interview with The
Associated Press on
Wednesday. “We just
want him to be peacefully
released, whatever he’s
feeling at this moment,
and to be reunited with
his Maker at the perfect
time, when God so wills.”
The archbishop said:
“Ultimately, we are all
mortal. At some stage or
another, we all have to die,
and we have to move on,
we have to be recalled by
our Maker and Redeemer.
We have to create that
space for Madiba, to come
to terms within himself,
with that journey.”
On Tuesday, Makgoba
visited Mandela and
offered a prayer in which
he wished for a “peaceful,
perfect, end” for the anti-
apartheid leader, who
was taken to the Pretoria
hospital to be treated for
what the government
said was a recurring lung
infection.

WILKES-BARRE – A
Luzerne County judge
has thrown out a request
by a man serving a life
sentence in a 1992 homi-
cide to have his sentence
reduced on a claim he was
a juvenile at the time of
the alleged crime.
Todd Hyung-Rae
Tarselli, now 39, had
requested a reduced sen-
tence because he was
born in South Korea,
which calculates ages
differently than the
United States, allegedly
making him 17 years
old at the time he was
charged with shoot-
ing and robbing his
17-year-old friend, Mark
Bunchalk.
Tarselli argued in
court papers filed in
December that he is eli-
gible for a reduced sen-
tence thanks to a new
state law that prohibits
life sentences for juve-
niles.
The recently passed
law states juveniles
convicted of first- and
second- degree murder
can no longer receive
mandatory life sen-
tences when tried as an
adults.
The law does not
preclude a judge from
imposing a life sen-
tence but allows for a
judge to choose from a
wide range of sentenc-
ing options.
County Judge Thomas
Burke said in a ruling
this week that he was
dismissing Tarselli’s
request because Tarselli
did not file in a timely
fashion in accordance
with state law and
because Tarselli knew of
the age discrepancy long
before he brought up the
issue in his post-convic-
tion collateral relief peti-
tion.
Tarselli was charged
in January 1992 with
Bunchalk’s death in
Hazleton. He pleaded
guilty to a first-degree
murder charge and was
sentenced in November
1992 to life in prison.
He appealed his sentence
to the state Superior
Court, but his sentence
was upheld in September
1994.
Tarselli wrote in his
petition that he was
born in South Korea and
adopted by an American
family in 1980.
In South Korea, he
explained, when a child is
born, he or she is consid-
ered a year old.
Tarselli argues because
of that discrepancy, he
was actually 17 at the
time Bunchalk was killed,
not 18, as his birth date
reflects.
Assistant District
Attorney James
McMonagle argued
in court papers and
at a May hearing that
Tarselli did not file
his request in a timely
fashion and that the
new law does not apply
retroactively to old
cases.
McMonagle also
argued that Tarselli was
aware of the birth date
discrepancy as early as
1998.
An Oklahoma man
serving a life sen-
tence stemming from
a double homicide in
Hollenback Township
in 1999 also filed court
papers this week argu-
ing that he is appeal-
ing a dismissal of his
post- conviction relief
act petition, based on
the same claim that he
should receive a new
sentence because he
was a j uvenile at the
time of the killings.
Kenneth Carl
Crawford, 29, said
in court papers that
because he was 17 at
the time of the murders
of Diana Algar and Jose
Molina at the Paradise
Camp Resort, he should
be entitled to a new sen-
tence.
Crawford was con-
victed of the killings in
January 2001 and sen-
tenced to two life sen-
tences.
Prosecutors say Algar
and Molina took in
Crawford and his one-
time co-defendant, David
Lee Hanley, who were
hitchhikers, before they
were killed.

WILKES-BARRE – A trial for
a mother and daughter charged with
taking more than $700,000 in bingo
proceeds has been rescheduled for a
sixth time.
At a brief hearing Wednesday before
Luzerne County Judge Lesa Gelb, an
attorney for Catherine Drago, 82, said
he neededmore time tolookover bingo
returns to give to an expert expected
to testify at the trial. Gelb rescheduled
the July 29 trial to begin Oct. 28.
Drago, of Forty Fort, and her
daughter, Carol Gamble, 51, of West
Pittston, who are still officers of the
Swoyersville Volunteer Hose Co. No.
1, were charged in December 2008
with pilfering money collected through
bingo games the department held dur-
ing a three-year period.
Attorney Joseph Sklarosky Sr.
said he needs bingo returns for years
between 2005 and 2008 before the
case can proceed. He said he will likely
obtain those documents from the state
police this week.
After a discussion regarding sched-
uling issues of attorneys involved,
including Gamble’s attorney, William
Ruzzo, and Assistant District Attorney
Tom Hogans, as well as an investiga-
tor in the case, Gelb scheduled the
October trial date.
It is the sixth time in two years the
trial has been continued, including
most recently because Drago suffered
a heart attack.
According to court papers, the two
women were charged after an investi-
gationthat beganin2005 withthe state
Bureau of Charitable Organizations.
Drago had served as the hose com-
pany’s treasurer while Gamble served
as president. Both women allegedly
took control of collecting and deposit-
ing money generated at bingo games
that were held as a fundraiser for the
department.
Drago allegedly submitted incom-
plete information as part of a routine
survey the bureau conducts. A bureau
official became suspicious because the
amount of revenue Drago reported the
bingo games generated was less than
the bureau thought it should be.
An audit was conducted, accord-
ing to the criminal complaint, which
determined the hose company gener-
ated a total of $1,789,529 from Jan. 1,
2004 to Nov. 14, 2007. Of that amount,
$1,054,781 was deposited into the
department’s bank account, leaving
$734,748 unaccounted for.
Search warrants conducted in the
case revealed Drago and Gamble
allegedly issued checks totaling more
than $400,000 to themselves between
January 2004 and September 2006,
according to court papers.
Bingo theft trial continued again; expert sought to examine returns

OTHER OPINION: YOuR RIgHTs
At age 50, Miranda
has proven its worth
Y
OU HAVE THE right to
remain silent. Anything
you say can and will be
used against you in a
court of law. You have the right to
an attorney. If you cannot afford
an attorney, one will be provided
for you. Do you understand the
rights I have just read to you?
With these rights in mind, do you
wish to speak with me?
Those words are uttered
thousands of times a day in this
country, and one hardly needs to
have been arrested to recognize
them. They are a staple of police
dramas from “Dragnet” to “CSI.”
They are a ubiquitous part of
American culture, as familiar as
the Pledge of Allegiance. They
are, of course, the Miranda warn-
ing, which suspects have been
read ever since the United States
Supreme Court in 1966 mandat-
ed it.
Written by Chief Justice Earl
Warren, Miranda recognized the
coercive nature of police interro-
gations and sought to ensure that
the constitutional rights of sus-
pects in custody were protected.
Moreover, it was an expression
of the court’s egalitarianism:
Sophisticated suspects already
knew to ask for a lawyer or to
remain silent, so those who
tended to incriminate themselves
under police questioning were
more likely to be poor and unedu-
cated.
Since its inception, Miranda
has stood as a hallmark of judicial
overreach in the minds of conser-
vatives. They like to note that the
warning does not appear in the
Constitution. And even though
the rights it enumerates are
explicitly mentioned, critics com-
plained at the time of Miranda
that informing suspects of those
rights would cause them to clam
up and thwart law enforcement.
It would, the claim went, empty
the prisons.
Well, it didn’t. Miranda is
now nearly 50 years old, and
the prisons are full of criminals
who were convicted despite it.
Some were read the warning and
talked anyway; others got the
warning, demanded lawyers and
were convicted on the evidence.
Indeed, one of the striking things
about Miranda today is that
the law enforcement establish-
ment no longer objects to it. It
gives them clarity, and it rarely
interferes with an investigation.
When Miranda faced a direct
challenge in 2000, Chief Justice
William H. Rehnquist, who criti-
cized the original ruling, voted
to uphold it, in part because of
that clarity and in part because it
had become such an established
practice.
Yet Miranda continues to agi-
tate. Just two months ago the
surviving brother of the two
Boston bombing suspects was
taken into custody, and conser-
vatives loudly argued that he
should somehow be treated dif-
ferently from any other criminal
suspect and denied a reading of
his Miranda rights. The shoddy
reasoning in that instance is
that somehow terrorism is dif-
ferent — as if planting a bomb
is a crime outside constitutional
law while shooting a gun would
not be. He was eventually read
his rights and stopped talking,
but no one seems to have much
doubt about the strength of the
evidence against him.
The strange state of Miranda
as it approaches 50, then, is that
it no longer poses the threat that
police and others once feared it
would, but it remains a source
of political irritation to conser-
vatives. That’s hardly the only
example of people putting ideolo-
gy over common sense in today’s
America, but it’s a particularly
noxious one. Today’s conserva-
tives would be wise to follow
Rehnquist’s lead and acknowl-
edge Miranda for what it is: an
intelligent, workable doctrine
that helps police and protects the
rights of those in custody.

OTHER OPINION:
Living, not fracking,
is top water priority
T
HIS YEAR’S cool, rainy
spring made drought
seem far away, rel-
egated to news reports
of drought-wracked areas of the
nation’s West and Midwest. But
recent history in Pennsylvania
has featured droughts, which
makes planning for limited water
resources all the more important
given the natural gas boom here.
In some places in the West,
which has experienced a persis-
tent, severe drought in recent
years, gas and oil drilling now
competes with agriculture for a
share of this finite resource.
An Associated Press analy-
sis found that most counties
in Arkansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah
and Wyoming where fracking is
occurring are also experiencing
drought as designated by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture.
This new competition for water
has pushed up prices, in some
cases prohibitively high for farm-
ers.
While drillers tout the prospect
of an energy-independent nation,
others worry such intensive
water use could mean important
aquifers never get recharged,
both in farming regions and
more populated areas.
To their credit, some drilling
industry companies are develop-
ing water recycling systems that
will enable them to frack with
gray or brackish water, lowering
their demand for potable water
necessary for farming or other
human use.
In some states regulators
are setting limits on how much
water energy companies can use
during droughts.
Pennsylvania ought consider
such rules. National Climatic
Data Center records show that
between 1895 and 1999, the
Pocono region experienced 18
episodes of severe to extreme
drought lasting at least two
months.
The Upper Susquehanna
region, where fracking activ-
ity is intensive, went through
22 drought episodes, several
of them longer than here in the
Poconos.
No one should assume water
will always be abundant in
Pennsylvania. Legislators and
government officials have an
obligation to develop reasonable
guidelines now to make sure the
quantities of water the energy
industry uses don’t jeopardize
the No. 1 driver of the state’s
economy — agriculture —
or deplete precious drinking
water supplies. During
the next drought, the citizens
of Pennsylvania will be glad
they did.

YOuR OPINION: lETTERs TOTHE EdITOR
Recalling a child
robbed of a life
I
only met Vika once; it was a late
October afternoon in 2001, at my
daughter Kylee’s seventh birthday party at
the Cinemark movie theater in Scranton.
Vika was in my daughter’s first grade
class at Kistler Elementary School. For
my daughter’s birthday gift, Vika gave
my daughter a one-inch glass rabbit.
That rabbit still sits on Kylee’s dresser.
Elana Herring, Vika’s mother and an
acquaintance, came with Vika to the party.
They sat in the cafe drinking a coffee
while keeping an eye on her daughter.
With broken English, Ms. Herring
thanked my wife for inviting her and her
daughter and for including her in our
celebration.
Vika called our house on several
occasions as she got to know my daughter.
In early December of that same year, Vika
called to ask if my daughter could go with
her to see the Russian Ballet at the Kirby
Center. In Vika’s innocent way, she then
proceeded to try and convince me that
they should see this dance recital. She was
beaming with national pride. Vika tried to
convince me that I should pay for Kylee’s
ticket and hers. I told her that I would
have to check with her mother and would
get back to her.
I never had the chance. that was the
last time I talked to Vika. She and her
mother were horrifically murdered on
Dec. 7, 2001. At this time, shivers traveled
through south Wilkes-Barre and there
was a great void in our community. At a
time like this, we truly appreciated every
thread that made up the community and
respected every role.
Superintendent Jeffrey Namey provided
resources from the Wilkes-Barre Area
School District to help the school
community cope with such a devastating
loss. The first grade teachers, especially
Mrs. Jane Gregg, had to deal with every
teacher’s worst nightmare: The death of
a student. Compounding this was the
age and the brutality of the event. Mrs.
Gregg’s kind guidance aided the student’s
through this experience and helped them
through their primary years. The Wilkes
Barre police endured the horrific sight
at the crime scene and apprehended
the person responsible. The Luzerne
County District Attorney’s Office brought
the individual to justice and held him
accountable for his decisions and actions.
The parents of the students who were
Vika’s classmates and friends had to try to
comfort their children, who didn’t quite
understand what was going on.
Personally, my family had to extend a
special thank you to our Monsignor John
Callahan, pastor emeritus of St. Therese
Church, who on Christmas Eve took an
hour out of his busy schedule to talk to
a seven-year-old about how God would
allow such an atrocity. The conversation,
which would rival any Theologian
Doctoral Oral Exam, was appreciated by
my wife and I. The beloved Monsignor
explained that one of God’s greatest gifts
to mankind was the “gift of free will,” the
individual’s freedom of choosing right
from wrong, good from evil. He related
how an individual decision like this or a
person’s every day decision such a child’s
taking a test and looking at a peer’s test,
is a decision by an individual, a decision
of free will, a decision of choice.
Isn’t it ironic that such an easy concept
to a first grader can be confused by
teenagers and adults?
Last week Vika’s first grade class
graduated from high school. As I drank
my coffee at the kitchen table, reading the
names of the graduates, I reminisced on
accomplishments my daughter and her
friends achieved during their school years
and the milestones along the way. I took
a moment to reflect and say a prayer for
Vika and her mom who never got to:
Learn to swim in the third grade swim
program.
Play the recorder in the fourth grade
spring concert.
Participate in field day.
Go on the sixth grade outing to an
amusement park.
Take the PSSA tests.
Walk through the historic Wilkes-Barre
high schools.
Change classes with new students.
Step to the starting line for a track
meet.
Find out what happened to Harry
Potter.
Stand up and give a speech.
Sing “Steadfast Forever,” “Wave the
Blue and Red,” “Sons of the Blue and
Grey,” or any other high school alma
mater.
Skip school on her 16th birthday to take
her driver’s permit test.
Say no to a cigarette.
Take the SATS.
Attend a high school football game.
Sit in the back seat of a car with friends,
singing Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night”,
Taylor Swift’s “22”, Nikki Minaj’s “Super
Bass” or even Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.”
Slow dance at prom.
Turn her tassel with the rest of her
graduating class.
Finally, Vika never did get to see that
Russian Ballet of the Nutcracker, either.
Know Vika, that we always knew you
were watching from afar, from above, and
that for every pink flower that bloomed
on your tree at Kistler Elementary, you
were complimenting and applauding your
class of 2013’s firsts. Her memory stands
as a constant reminder to seize each day
entirely with love, to truly appreciate each
first, each milestone, each mistake. Her
memory is a glistening hope, to never stop
dreaming, never stop smiling, never stop
loving. Vika will always be missed, but
her beautiful face and smile will never be
forgotten.

Higher gas tax
is wrong solution
U
nquestionably, Pennsylvania’s bridges,
roads and other infrastructure are
badly in need of improvements, but is
should not be funded by increasing the
gas tax. Why not?
The gas tax is an aggressive tax that
would place the greatest burden for paying
for renovating the state’s infrastructure on
the shoulders of working class Americans
who were NOT responsible for the
deterioration of the bridges and roads and
who can afford it the least.
It’s no secret the destruction of the
state’s infrastructure was caused by
the increased weight limit and size of
corporate trucks. It’s also no secret that
the business community is pushing for
new roads that will save time and increase
their profits.
It’s also no secret that corporations
don‘t want to pay for improved or new
infrastructure and will gladly support
increasing a tax that can be written off as
an expense that won’t affect their bottom
line.
So, what’s a better solution for
funding infrastructure improvements?
Unfortunately, Pennsylvania doesn’t have a
progressive income tax so the alternative
is to raise the state’s personal flat-rate
income tax and the tax on corporate
profits.
That won’t affect out-of-state users,
but they wouldn’t buy our higher-
priced gas either. So, fix Pennsylvania’s
infrastructure, but don’t raise the tax.

Tallying up reasons
to distrust Obama
R
emember Watergate? Welcome to
Obamagates.
Remember transparency? He ran on that
first term, too.
Eric Holder – wire tapping reporters.
Benghazi - four Americans killed. IRS –
targeting conservative groups, religious,
family values, pro-life Tea Party, Patriots,
etc.
Shulman, commissioner of IRS at that
time, visited the White House 157 times.
Why? And the IRS is going to control our
health care? All this done before Obama’s
re-election. Hello!
Last term: new Panthers intimidating
voters and Fast and Furious. Don’t tell
me Obama didn’t know about these
things happening on his watch. What, as
president, is he being paid for? Oh, yeah,
golfing, campaigning, vacationing, playing
basketball and partying with celebrities.
This administration is the most
corrupt one I’ve ever seen. We get no
honest answers at all. But, as Hillary said
‘What difference does it make now.” A
lot of difference. How can we trust our
government anymore?
If you people don’t know what these
scandals are all about, change your
channel to Fox News and learn. You will
learn a lot more than you realize, more
than you will from those cable news
stations that give passes to Obama all the
time.
We’re slowly losing our freedoms. These
scandals fall for impeachment. Obama
may be like-able, but I rather an honest
president.
Pray for America.

to the fleet and increased insurance
coverage from $1 million to $5 mil-
lion.
He noted Emanuel’s first proposal
was 9 percent higher than his current
contract, which expires June 30.
Comitz focused on one key argu-
ment: The request for proposals
drawn up and sent to interested bid-
ders was too ambiguous in what was
required, making it impossible for
Emanuel to give a truly competitive
bid.
Specifically, Comitz contends the
district did not explicitly ask for
newer buses that would increase state
subsidies, which are based partly on
the age of the bus fleet. The older the
bus, the lower the state subsidy.
In the rebids, Emanuel was the
overall lower bidder until the state
subsidy was considered.
Palfey conceded that some require-
ments listed in the RFP were ulti-
mately not enforced in the contract
with G. Davis, such as having the
company provide a full-time dis-
patcher in the district office. Palfey
said those items were included in the
RFP to get an idea of what they were
worth, not because they were needed.
Levinson attempted to counter the
ambiguity argument by having Palfey
recite specific parts of the RFP and
other documents that, he contend-
ed, showed the requirements were
explicit and provided to prospective
contractors. He also noted that if
there were any questions, Emanuel
could have raised them at a pre-bid
meeting for vendors with district offi-
cials, or at any of several school board
meetings he attended when the board
made the initial vote and the vote to
allow rebids.
G. Davis’ attorney Lars Anderson,
who had successfully argued to be
allowed to participate in the hearing,
questioned General Manager Richard
Davis about his company’s finan-
cial commitment since winning the
Dallas contract.
Richard Davis said the company
has ordered new buses at a cost of
$2.1 million that cannot be recouped
and spent close to $50,000 in train-
ing, equipment and background
checks for new hires.
At one point, Comitz attempted to
introduce what has been the elephant
in the room for some opponents of G.
Davis, asking Palfey about concerns
that one employee at G. Davis has
a criminal background that would
legally bar the employee from being
in contact with students or on school
property.
Issue deemed irrelevant
Both Anderson and Levinson
objected, arguing it was irrelevant
to the questions at hand. “If that was
an issue,” Levinson said, “put it in
the complaint.” Vough sustained the
objection.
District Solicitor Ben Jones III,
who is not representing the district
in this case because he had been
involved in the contract decisions as
solicitor, has said that issue could be
handled by including language in the
contract with G. Davis barring the
employee from coming in contact
with students.
Jones has also said the decision to
allow G. Davis and Emanuel to sub-
mit new proposals (they were the
only two to submit original offers)
was legal because the RFP had lan-
guage that explicitly allowed such a
move if the board deemed it advanta-
geous.
Vough promised to issue a written
ruling by the end of business today.
From page 1A
Duel
legally married same-sex
couples from receiving tax,
health and pension benefits
that are otherwise available
to married couples.
Justice Anthony
Kennedy, joined by the
four liberal justices, said
the purpose of the law was
to impose a disadvantage
and “a stigma upon all who
enter into same-sex mar-
riages made lawful by the
unquestioned authority of
the states.”
President Barack Obama
praised the court’s ruling
against the federal mar-
riage act, labeling the law
“discrimination enshrined
in law.”
“It treated loving, com-
mitted gay and lesbian cou-
ples as a separate and lesser
class of people,” Obama
said in a statement. “The
Supreme Court has righted
that wrong, and our coun-
try is better off for it.”
House Speaker John
Boehner, R-Ohio, said he
was disappointed in the
outcome of the federal mar-
riage case and hoped states
continue to define mar-
riage as the union of a man
and a woman. Boehner, as
speaker, had stepped in as
the main defender of the
law before the court after
the Obama administration
declined to defend it.
The other case, dealing
with California’s consti-
tutional ban on same-sex
marriage, was resolved by
an unusual lineup of jus-
tices in a technical legal
fashion that said nothing
about gay marriage. But the
effect was to leave in place a
trial court’s declaration that
California’s Proposition 8
ban was unconstitutional.
Gov. Jerry Brown quickly
ordered that marriage
licenses be issued to gay
couples as soon as a federal
appeals court lifts its hold
on the lower court ruling.
That will take least 25 days,
the appeals court said.
California, where gay
marriage was briefly legal
in 2008, would be the
13th state, along with the
District of Columbia, to
allow same-sex couples to
marry and would raise the
share of the U.S. popula-
tion in gay marriage states
to 30 percent. Six states
have adopted same-sex
marriage in the past year,
amid a rapid evolution in
public opinion that now
shows majority support for
the right to marry in most
polls.
The 12 other states are
Connecticut, Delaware,
Iowa, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, New York,
Rhode Island, Vermont and
Washington.
The day’s rulings are
clear for people who were
married and live in states
that allow same-sex mar-
riage. They now are eligible
for federal benefits.
The picture is more com-
plicated for same-sex cou-
ples who traveled to anoth-
er state to get married, or
who have moved from a gay
marriage state since being
wed.
Their eligibility depends
on the benefits they are
seeking. For instance,
immigration law focuses on
where people were married,
not where they live. But eli-
gibility for Social Security
survivor benefits basically
depend on where a couple
is living when a spouse dies.
This confusing array
of regulations is reflected
more broadly in the dispa-
rate treatment of gay cou-
ples between states. And
the court’s decision did not
touch on another part of the
federal marriage law that
says a state does not have to
recognize a same-sex mar-
riage performed elsewhere.
Indeed, the outcome of
the cases had supporters of
gay marriage already antici-
pating their next trip to the
high court, which they rea-
son will be needed to legal-
ize same-sex unions in all
50 states.
The Human Rights
Campaign’s president,
Chad Griffin, said his goal
is to legalize same-sex mar-
riage nationwide within
five years through a combi-
nation of ballot measures,
court challenges and expan-
sion of anti-discrimination
laws.
The rulings came 10
years to the day after the
court’s Lawrence v. Texas
decision that struck down
state bans on gay sex. In his
dissent at the time, Justice
Antonin Scalia predicted
the ruling would lead to
same-sex marriage.
On Wednesday, Scalia
issued another pungent
dissent in the Defense of
Marriage Act case in which
he made a new predic-
tion that the ruling would
be used to upend state
restrictions on marriage.
Kennedy’s majority opinion
insisted the decision was
limited to legally married
same-sex couples.
Scalia read aloud in a
packed courtroom that
included the two couples
who sued for the right to
marry in California. On the
bench, Justice Elena Kagan,
who voted to strike down
DOMA, watched Scalia
impassively as he read.
“It takes real cheek for
today’s majority to assure
us, as it is going out the
door, that a constitutional
requirement to give formal
recognition to same-sex
marriage is not at issue
here—when what has
preceded that assurance is a
lecture on how superior the
majority’s moral judgment
in favor of same-sex mar-
riage is to the Congress’
hateful moral judgment
against it. I promise
you this: The only thing
that will ‘confine’ the
court’s holding is its sense
of what it can get away
with,” Scalia said.
Scalia and Justice Samuel
Alito, who also wrote a dis-
senting opinion, said their
view is that Constitution
does not require states to
allow gay and lesbian cou-
ples to marry.
Outside the court, some
in the crowd hugged and
others jumped up and down
just after 10 a.m. EDT
when the DOMA decision
was announced. Many peo-
ple were on their cellphones
monitoring Twitter, news
sites and blogs for word
of the decision. And there
were cheers as runners
came down the steps with
the decision in hand and
turned them over to report-
ers who quickly flipped
through the decisions.
Chants of “Thank you”
and “U-S-A” came from
the crowd as plaintiffs in
the cases descended the
court’s marbled steps.
Most of those in the crowd
appeared to support gay
marriage, although there
was at least one man who
held a sign promoting mar-
riage as between a man and
a woman.
In New York City’s
Greenwich Village, the
Stonewall Inn, where a riot
in 1969 sparked the gay
rights movement, erupted
in cheers and whooping.
Mary Jo Kennedy, 58 was
there with her wife Jo-Ann
Shain, 60, and their daugh-
ter Aliya Shain, 25.
She came with a sign that
could be flipped either way
and was holding up the side
that says “SCOTUS made
our family legal”.
They have been together
31 years and got married
the day it became legal in
New York.
Others were not celebrat-
ing.
“We mourn for America’s
future, but we are not
without hope,” said
Tim Wildmon, presi-
dent of American Family
Association, in a statement.

way in the last 10 years. They said the
rulings will help in the fight to get all 50
states to acknowledge same-sex unions.
“We’re not far from this becoming a
non-issue,” Michaels said. “Today can
change a lot of stuff. We just don’t know
how or when.”
Cheskiewicz, a professor at Keystone
College in La Plume, said Michaels is on
his health insurance because Keystone
has a domestic partner benefit package.
“The fact that this ruling doesn’t apply
to us is just unfair,” Cheskiewicz said.
“Nobody can tell anybody who to
love,” Michaels said. “If you’re happy,
you’re happy.”
Cheskiewicz said after their marriage
became public knowledge, they received
hundreds of cards, letters and notes from
people they didn’t know.
“Awareness is the key,” he said. “We’ve
received so many positive messages.”
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton,
released a statement stating the high
court “made the right decision” in strik-
ing down the Defense of Marriage Act.
Bittersweet ruling
In response to the decisions, Ted
Martin, executive director of Equality
Pennsylvania, the state’s leading advoca-
cy organization for gay and transgender
people, said the striking down of DOMA
“brings about a joyous day for loving,
married couples and their families.”
But how do the rulings affect
Pennsylvanians and gay people living in
the 37 states that don’t recognize same-
sex marriage?
“It doesn’t,” Martin said. “That’s
the bittersweet part of the ruling. As
an American, this is a great day. The
Supreme Court struck down a lot that
was hateful and discriminatory. As a
Pennsylvanian, there’s still a lot of work
to be done.”
That work, Martin said, needs to be
done in Harrisburg. He said the state leg-
islature “has failed to act” and “needs to
act now.”
Martin said the Supreme Court
“affirmed that all loving and commit-
ted couples who marry deserve equal
legal respect and treatment.”
At this time, same-sex couples
can legally marry in 13 states and
Washington, D.C. The court’s rulings
assure all of these families now have
access to comprehensive federal and
state protections to take care of the ones
they love
“However, 37 states — including
Pennsylvania — still treat gay and lesbi-
an citizens and their children as unequal
and second-class,” Martin said. “But
work to win the freedom to marry here
in the commonwealth will continue.”
U.S. Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Moosic,
said both California’s Proposition 8 and
the Defense of Marriage Act became
“symbols of discrimination” around the
country and around the world.
“Today, ‘equality for all’ prevailed,” he
said.
Cartwright said DOMAtreated loving,
committed gay and lesbian couples as a
separate and lesser class of people. “The
Supreme Court has righted that wrong,
and our country is better off for it,” he
said. “For married couples living in states
that do not recognize their marriages,
however, there is still uncertainty.”
Cartwright said the federal govern-
ment must ensure that these couples
receive full range of federal agency and
federal policy recognition and respect
that they deserve. He urged the adminis-
tration to provide policy and administra-
tive clarity and take every possible step
to ensure fair treatment.
Bishop issues statement
Bishop Joseph C. Bambera, leader of
the Diocese of Scranton, issued the fol-
lowing statement in response to the
Supreme Court’s rulings:
“The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision
striking down part of the Defense of the
Marriage Act and refusing to rule on
the merits of a challenge to California’s
Proposition 8 is unfortunate and disap-
pointing. This decision clearly opposes
the Catholic Church’s belief and teaching
that the sacrament of marriage, rooted in
natural law, is a faithful, exclusive, life-
long loving union of a man and a woman
open to the transmission of human life.
The dual purpose of marriage: the unity
and love of a man and a woman, and pro-
creation has been embedded in human
history long before any religion, nation
or law was established.”

incident even though they
were aware of it soon after
its occurrence.
Doug Harbach, a
spokesman for the board,
said this was the first time
in the board’s history such
a violation was found.
The reason the second,
and much larger, fine was
issued was also a first for
the board, he said.
The $90,000 fine
stemmed from the discov-
ery by the board’s Bureau
of Gaming Laboratory
Operations of discrepan-
cies in information con-
tained in the Slot Machine
Master List the casino
submitted to the board.
Specifically, accord-
ing to a consent agree-
ment between the gaming
control board’s Office of
Enforcement Counsel and
Downs Racing LP, during
an inspection involving 50
slot machines, the gaming
lab discovered differences
in settings on six of the
machines compared to the
submitted settings on the
master list.
The fine of $90,000 was
ordered using a $15,000
per machine penalty.
Harbach said he could
not offer comment on
the details of the viola-
tions, instead saying the
information contained in
the consent agreements
speaks for itself. The
consent agreements were
approved Wednesday
during the gaming
board’s public meeting in
Harrisburg.
The slot machine mas-
ter list details informa-
tion including the type
of slot machine, the
denomination it takes
and the payout percent-
age. It’s unclear which of
these were found to be
out of compliance with
the master list, and both
Harbach and his colleague
Richard McGarvey said
they could not comment.
At the top of the consent
agreement are the words
“IN RE: PAYTABLE
VIOLATIONS.”
According to the con-
sent agreement regarding
the illegal shredding of
documents, among those
documents shredded inap-
propriately in June 2011
were food and beverage
credit card receipts, slots
and table “drop” forms,
bank documents and tick-
et redemption paperwork.
The consent agreement
notes that once it was
learned the paperwork
was shredded, casino
executives were notified
but Mohegan Sun “failed
to notify the board of the
incident.” On Aug. 15,
2011the state Department
of Revenue, during a rou-
tine audit, requested doc-
uments from Feb. 19 and
were informed they were
mistakenly shredded on
June 27. The department
informed the gaming con-
trol board.
Efforts to reach
Mike Bean, the presi-
dent and general man-
ager of Mohegan Sun
at Pocono Downs, were
unsuccessful.

The New England Patriots
did not wait until Aaron
Hernandez was charged with
murder to cut ties with the
troubled tight end, releas-
ing him from the roster on
Wednesday morning soon
after police led him from his
house in handcuffs.
In a rare instance of public
relations before football for
one of the league’s most suc-
cessful teams, the Patriots
released a statement saying,
“At this time, we believe this
transaction is simply the right
thing to do.”
The swift dissociation came
the same day the Cleveland
Browns released rookie line-
backer Ausar Walcott, who has
been charged with attempt-
ed murder and accused of
punching a man outside a
New Jersey strip club. And
it comes the same week NFL
rookies are gathering at the
Browns’ facilities for lectures
and workshops designed to
help them avoid the pitfalls of
professional sports.
From Atlanta quarterback
Michael Vick’s dogfighting
ring to the murder-suicide
involving Kansas City line-
backer Jovan Belcher, the
league has struggled to keep
pace with its players’ off-field
problems, some of them vio-
lent. Hernandez was charged
Wednesday with the slaying
of semi-pro football player
Odin Lloyd, whose bullet-
riddled body was found in an
industrial park about a mile
away from Hernandez’s North
Attleborough, Mass., home.
Prosecutor Bill McCauley
said at the arraignment that
Hernandez “orchestrated the
crime from the beginning.”
Hernandez, who was held
without bail, did not enter a
plea, but his lawyer said the
case against the 23-year-old
football player “is not a strong
case.”
If convicted, Hernandez
faces life in prison without
parole.
“The involvement of an NFL
player in a case of this nature
is deeply troubling,” the NFL
said in a statement. “The
Patriots have released Aaron
Hernandez, who will have
his day in court. At the same
time, we should not forget
the young man who was the
victim in this case and take
this opportunity to extend
our deepest sympathy to Odin
Lloyd’s family and friends.”
Even as Hernandez was
being arrested, the Patriots
continued the business of foot-
ball.
The decision to release him
broke up the tight end tan-
dem of Hernandez and Rob
Gronkowski that had been
one of the most effective in
history, a pairing of Pro Bowl
players who combined for 16
touchdowns and 1,479 yards
receiving last season — the
most for any team at the posi-
tion, according to STATS. Two
years ago, with 169 catches
for 2,237 yards and 24 touch-
downs, the New England tight
ends set NFL records in each
category.
Gronkowski has had five
operations this offseason on
his back and broken left fore-
arm, leaving his future uncer-
tain and New England — at
least temporarily — with five
other tight ends expected to be
ready for the start of training
camp; together they caught a
total of nine passes last sea-
son. Tim Tebow, a quarterback
who may be better suited for
tight end, is also an option.
With a single-minded focus
Patriots waste no time in dropping Hernandez

LONDON — It was already one
of the most tumultuous days in
Grand Slam tennis history, with
seven players forced out by inju-
ries, two of the top three seeded
women eliminated and six former
No. 1-ranked players leaving early.
So what else could happen to
make this a day like no other at
Wimbledon?
Here’s what: the world’s great-
est grass-court player losing on
his favorite Centre Court — the
most famous stage in tennis — to
a 116th-ranked qualifier who had
never beaten a top-10 player.
Seven-time champion Roger
Federer was stunned by Sergiy
Stakhovsky in the second round
at the All England Club on
Wednesday, his earliest loss in
a Grand Slam tournament in 10
years.
The 27-year-old Ukrainian out-
played Federer, serving and vol-
leying his way to a 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5),
7-5, 7-6 (5) victory that stands
out as one of the sport’s biggest
upsets.
“Magic,” Stakhovsky said. “I
couldn’t play any better today.”
Federer’s loss ended his record
streak of reaching at least the
quarterfinals at 36 consecutive
Grand Slam tournaments, a run
that began at Wimbledon in 2004,
shortly after a third-round exit at
that year’s French Open.
“It’s always a disappointment
losing any match around the
world, and particularly here,”
Federer said. “I’ve had some great
moments here, but also some
tougher ones. Can’t have ‘em all.
It was a tough loss today.”
The result capped a chaotic day

NEW YORK — It’s a
big year for throwing. The
greatest closer in baseball
history, Mariano Rivera
of the Yankees, is retiring.
Aroldis Chapman, the
overpowering Cincinnati
Reds reliever, continues
to fire fastballs beyond
100 mph.
And now some scien-
tists say they’ve figured
out when our human
ancestors first started
throwing with accuracy
and fire power, as only
people can: Nearly 2 mil-
lion years ago.
That’s what research-
ers conclude in a study
released Wednesday
by the journal Nature.
There’s plenty of skep-
ticism about their con-
clusion. But the new
paper contends that this
throwing ability prob-
ably helped our ancient
ancestor Homo erectus
hunt, allowing him to
toss weapons — prob-
ably rocks and sharpened
wooden spears.
The human throwing
ability is unique. Not
even a chimp, our closest
living relative and a crea-
ture noted for strength,
can throw nearly as fast
as a 12-year-old Little
Leaguer, says lead study
author Neil Roach of
George Washington
University.
To find out how
humans developed this
ability, Roach and co-
authors analyzed the
throwing motions of 20
collegiate baseball play-
ers. Sometimes the play-
ers wore braces to mimic
the anatomy of human
ancestors, to see how ana-
tomical changes affected
throwing ability.
The human secret to
throwing, the research-
ers propose, is that when
the arm is cocked, it
stores energy by stretch-
ing tendons, ligaments
and muscles crossing the
shoulder. It’s like pull-
ing back on a slingshot.
Releasing that “elastic
energy” makes the arm
Was frst curveball thrown 2 million years ago?

PHILADELPHIA — New Jersey offi-
cials cannot put a stop to sports gam-
bling, but they hope to “shine a light”
on it by legalizing such betting at casi-
nos and racetracks, a lawyer said in a
high-stakes hearing Wednesday before
a federal appeals court.
Gov. Chris Christie wants to tap into
the multibillion-dollar sports betting
industry but must first get around a
1992 federal law that limits sports bet-
ting to Nevada and three other states.
The U.S. Justice Department, the
NCAA and the four major pro sports
leagues oppose the move. And a federal
judge this year sided with the challeng-
ers, blocking the sports betting law that
New Jersey had passed.
The state appealed that judge’s ruling,
leading to a battle of legal heavyweights
Wednesday in the 3rd U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals in Philadelphia.
Former U.S. Solicitor General
Theodore Olson, representing the
state, said the 1992 law discriminates
against New Jersey and 45 other states,
much like the Voting Rights Act that
was partially struck down Tuesday by
the Supreme Court.
The 3rd Circuit judges asked if the
leagues didn’t have a point in arguing
that betting on games has tarnished
sports and been the source of various
scandals.
“What New Jersey wants to do is
shine a light on that activity” by open-
ing the books and protecting potential
victims, Olson argued.
Paul Clement, another former U.S.
solicitor general who represents the
NFL and the three other major sports
leagues, argued that the dynamics of
sports change when states condone and
even participate in wagers on games.
“They’re our games, after all, and we
have a legitimate interest in control-
ling whether these games are going to
be sporting events and not gambling
events,” Clement argued.
The U.S. attorney for New Jersey,
Paul J. Fishman, argued for the Justice
Department. He said Congress had a
legitimate reason to grandfather in the
four states in 1992 because they want-
ed to limit the ills of sports betting.
The three-judge panel did not imme-
diately indicate when it would rule.
New Jersey voters passed a sports
betting referendum in 2011, and last
year the Legislature enacted a law that
limited bets to the Atlantic City casi-
nos and the state’s horse tracks. Bets
wouldn’t be taken on games involving
New Jersey colleges or college games
played in the state.

Baseball and the NCAA sued the state

NEW YORK —
Yankees first base-
man Mark Teixeira
will have season-
ending surgery on
his right wrist.
The Yankees said
Wednesday that
the All-Star had
an MRI with dye
contrast and that
team physician Dr.
Christopher Ahmad
determined the torn ten-
don sheath had not ade-
quately healed. New York
said hand specialists Drs.
Melvin Rosenwasser of
New York-Presbyterian
Hospital, Michelle
Carlson of the Hospital
for Special Surgery and
Keith Raskin of the New
York University School
of Medicine school con-
curred in the diagnosis.
Recovery time for the
surgery is projected at
six months.
Teixeira was hurt while
hitting off a tee March 5,
when he was with the
U.S. team at the World
Baseball Classic. He
made his season debut
May 31, then
came out of
a game June
15 because of
i nf l ammati on.
He went back
on the disabled
list and did not
respond to a
cortisone shot.
Toronto out-
fielder Jose
Bautista, limited to four
at-bats after July 16 last
year because of a similar
injury, had surgery last
Sept. 4 and was ready for
spring training.
A two-time All-Star,
Teixeira was batting just
.151 with three homers
and 12 RBIs in 53 at-bats.
He is among five regu-
lars who have missed a
substantial part of the
Yankees season.
Derek Jeter, who
turned 39 Wednesday,
hasn’t played with the
team since breaking his
left ankle last Oct. 13
in the AL championship
series opener. He rein-
jured the ankle in April
during rehabilitation.
Third baseman Alex
Rodriguez had left hip
surgery on Jan. 16 and
the Yankees say they
expect both A-Rod and
Jeter to return sometime
after the All-Star break.
Outfielder Curtis
Granderson missed the
first 38 games this sea-
son with a broken right
forearm, an injury sus-
tained when hit by pitch
from Toronto’s J.A. Happ
in his first at-bat at spring
training on Feb. 25.
Granderson returned
May 14 and was in his
eighth game back when
he broke the knuckle on
his left pinkie when hit
by a pitch from Tampa
Bay’s Cesar Ramos on
May 24.
Catcher Francisco
Cervelli broke his right
hand April 26 when hit
by a foul tip off the bat of
Toronto’s Rajai Davis.

Olympic dreams
dashed in Pittsburgh
Chris Togneri
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Pittsburgh’s Olympic dreams
must wait.
Mayor Luke Ravenstahl,
invited by the United States
Olympic Committee in
February to bid to host the
2024 Summer Games, declined
to do so, his staff said.
“We didn’t feel that there
was enough support from the
community to successfully bid
for this opportunity,” the may-
or’s spokeswoman, Marissa
Doyle, said in an email.
Allegheny County Executive
Rich Fitzgerald agreed the
community response to host-
ing the games was tepid.
“My sense is the community
wasn’t excited,” he said. “It
would cost two to three billion
— with a ‘b’ — dollars. It’s a
big risk.”
Fitzgerald said he didn’t
discuss a bid with Ravenstahl
and said the mayor likely
was “distracted” from seri-
ously considering the Olympic
Committee’s invitation. It
occurred less than two weeks
before he withdrew from the
mayor’s race.
“Making that decision not to
run, it had to weigh a lot on his
mind,” Fitzgerald said.
Ravenstahl was unavailable
for comment, Doyle said.
The Olympic Committee
wrote to 35 mayors to gauge
interest in hosting the 2024
Summer Olympic Games.
Craig Davis, president and
CEO of VisitPittsburgh, a non-
profit tourism agency, said
Pittsburgh would have been
a long-shot candidate. The
Olympic Committee requires
host cities to provide 45,000
hotel rooms; Pittsburgh has
about 24,000. The region
lacks many required facili-
ties, including a stadium for
track and field that could
seat 100,000 spectators and
an Olympic Village to house
16,500 athletes.
Still, Davis said he and other
regional leaders would have
enjoyed the chance to at least
submit a bid.
“We would have fully done
our part, even knowing that
we’d have probably have been
a long shot,” he said.
Philip Cynar, spokesman
for Allegheny Conference on
Community Development,
said he was not aware of any
meetings to discuss the bid.
About 10 cities expressed
interest in bidding, includ-
ing Dallas, Los Angeles,
Philadelphia and San Diego,
which hopes to jointly bid with
Tijuana, Mexico, which would
not be allowed under current
rules, Olympic Committee
spokesman Patrick Sandusky
said.
The committee does not
have to submit a bid to the
international body for the
2024 Summer Games but must
decide by 2015.

INDIANAPOLIS —
Ryan Lochte and Missy
Franklin gave swimming
fans a double dose of dom-
inance Wednesday night.
And it came with plenty
of pain.
America’s two biggest
active stars in the pool
each won the 200-meter
freestyle, then returned
less than 90 minutes later
to take the U.S. national
championship in the 200
backstroke — all with
times that ranked among
the five fastest in the world
this year. It was quite a
feat for the 18-year-old
soon-to-be college fresh-
man from Colorado and
the 28-year-old three-time
Olympian from Florida
still working to get back
in world-class shape.
“I don’t want to go
through that pain again.
As I get older, it doesn’t
get any easier,” Lochte
said. “But I like a chal-
lenge and love to race.”
Lochte has shown his
mettle dozens of times
before and has relied on
training regimens that
don’t always follow stan-
dard operating procedure.
At times, it has made
Lochte look bad. But
when it comes time to
race in the big meets, he
has always been ready.
This week has been no
different. At the IUPUI
Natatoriums, Lochte
clinched a spot on the
men’s world champion-
ship team by finishing
fourth in the 100 freestyle,
hardly his best event.
Each race winner and the
top four finishers in the
relay events all earn auto-
matic spots on the world
championship team that
will compete in Barcelona
starting next month.
On Wednesday, Lochte
put on an impressive
show.
The five-time Olympic
gold medalist held off a
late charge from Olympic
teammate Conor Dwyer
to win the 200 free in 1
minute, 45.97 seconds —
the fifth fastest time in
the world this year. Dwyer
was second in 1:46.25,
sixth in the world.
Twelve heats later,
Lochte was back on the
starting block for the 200
back and this time, he was
even better.

NCAA has moved
several of its champi-
onship events out of
New Jersey because
of the law. In a court
deposition, MLB com-
missioner Bud Selig
said he was “appalled”
Gambling

whip forward to make the
throw.
That trick, in turn,
was made possible by
three anatomical chang-
es in human evolution
that affected the waist,
shoulders and arms, the
researchers concluded.
And Homo erectus, which
appeared about 2 mil-
lion years ago, is the first
ancient relative to com-
bine those three changes,
they said.
But others think the
throwing ability must
have appeared sometime
later in human evolution.
Susan Larson, an anat-
omist at Stony Brook
University in New York
who didn’t participate in
the study, said the paper is
the first to claim that elas-
tic energy storage occurs
in arms, rather than just in
legs. The bouncing gait of
a kangaroo is due to that
phenomenon, she said,
Curve
From page 1B
and the human Achilles
tendon stores energy to
help people walk.
The new analysis offers
good evidence that the
shoulder is storing elastic
energy, even though the
shoulder doesn’t have the
long tendons that do that
job in legs, she said. So
maybe other tissues can
do it too, she said.
But Larson, an expert
on evolution of the human
shoulder, said she does
not think Homo erectus
could throw like a mod-
ern human. She said she
believes its shoulders
were too narrow and
that the orientation of
the shoulder joint on the
body would make over-
hand throwing “more or
less impossible.”
Rick Potts, director of
the human origins pro-
gram at the Smithsonian
Institution, said he is “not
at all convinced” by the
paper’s argument about
when and why throwing
appeared.
The authors did not
present any data to coun-
ter Larson’s published
work that indicates the
erectus shoulder was ill-
suited for throwing, he
said.
And it is “a stretch” to
say that throwing would
give erectus an advantage
in hunting, Potts said.
Large animals have to be
pierced in specific spots
for a kill, which would
seem to require more
accuracy than one could
expect erectus to achieve
from a distance, he said.
Potts noted that the ear-
liest known spears, which
date from about 400,000
years ago, were used for
thrusting rather than
throwing.
Woods hopes he is healthy for next major

BETHESDA, Md. —
Tiger Woods can’t say
whether his left elbow
will be fully healed in
time for the British Open,
only that it will be “good
enough.”
Woods returned to
the AT&T National on
Wednesday as the defend-
ing champion only in
name.
Doctors have recom-
mended that he sit out this
week at Congressional,
along with next week at
The Greenbrier,
because of a left elbow
strain that has been
bothering him for more
a month and was made
worse by hacking out
of the dense U.S. Open
rough at Merion.
“I pushed it pretty good
at the Open to play it and
to play through it,” Woods
said. “Made it worse by
hitting the ball out of the
rough, and eventually got
a point where I wasn’t
able to play here. We’re
treating it, and eventually
I’ll start the strengthen-
ing process, then starting
hitting balls to get up to
speed for the British.”
The British Open is
July 18-21 at Muirfield,
and Woods could not say
that he would be at 100
percent by then.
“How about … good
enough,” he said.
There was no visible
evidence of an elbow inju-
ry until he began dangling
his left arm and flexing
his wrist after hitting out
of the rough at Merion in
the opening round. He
eventually said he first
hurt it during The Players
Championship, which he
won on May 12, but he
did not mention a specific
shot or even a round.
On Wednesday, he said
it wasn’t a single shot.
“It was just play-
ing there, and it didn’t
feel good then early in
the week, but I pushed
through it,” Woods said.
“It progressively just got
worse. Got to a point
where I was starting to
struggle a little bit.”
Woods still played the
Memorial in the month
between The Players
Championship and the
U.S. Open, which he con-
ceded might have been
a mistake. Woods was
the defending champion
and a five-time winner
at Muirfield Village, so
it was shocking when he
turned in a 44 on the back
nine — the highest 9-hole
score of his PGA Tour
career — and wound up
20 shots out of the lead.
That was his largest defi-
cit in a full-field tourna-
ment.
Asked if he should have
sat out the Memorial,
Woods said, “It would
have been better, yes.”
“I wouldn’t necessar-
ily say regret,” Woods
said. “I wish I would have
played better so I didn’t
have so many shots I had
to hit.”
Woods had won three
out of four tournaments
going into the Memorial
— the exception was a tie
for fourth in the Masters.
In the two tourna-
ments after The Players
Championship, he fin-
ished a combined 32
shots out of the lead with
a scoring average of 73.6.
That includes his score of
293 at Merion, his worst
ever in the U.S. Open.

Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens answers questions during a news conference Wednesday in Eugene, Ore. The NCAA stripped
Oregon of a scholarship in each of the next two seasons and placed the football program on probation for three years, opting against
stiffer penalties like a bowl ban.
Oregon put on probation,
but faces no bowl ban
John Marshall
AP College Football Writer
The NCAA stripped Oregon of a scholarship in
each of the next two seasons and placed the program
on probation for three years, opting against stiffer
penalties like a bowl ban despite issuing a show-cause
order against former coach Chip Kelly, who apolo-
gized to the school, its fans and it players.
The NCAA’s Division I Committee on Infractions
released a report on Wednesday that said Kelly failed
to monitor the program for its improper involvement
with Willie Lyles and his Houston-based recruiting
service.
Kelly was hit with an 18-month show-cause order, a
sanction that likely will have limited impact now that
he’s coaching the Philadelphia Eagles.
The program he left behind faces three years of
scholarship reductions, starting last year and extend-
ing through 2014-15. It also faces reductions in paid
visits and evaluation days, but avoided some of the
harsher penalties handed down to other programs in
recent years.
“Now that the NCAA has concluded their investiga-
tion and penalized the University of Oregon and its
football program, I want to apologize to the University
of Oregon, all of its current and former players and
their fans,” Kelly said in a statement. “I accept my
share of responsibility for the actions that led to the
penalties. As I have I stated before, the NCAA inves-
tigation and subsequent ruling had no impact on my
decision to leave Oregon for Philadelphia. I have also
maintained throughout that I had every intention to
cooperate with the NCAA’s investigation, which I
did.”
The NCAA had been looking into Oregon’s pro-
gram for more than two years after learning Oregon
had paid $25,000 to Lyles and his recruiting service,
Complete Scouting Services.
The NCAA’s infractions committee found that
Lyles provided cash and free lodging to a prospect,
and engaged in impermissible calls and off-campus
contact with prospects, their families and high school
coaches.
It also said the football program exceeded coaching
limits by allowing staff members to engage in recruit-
ing activity.
Through self-imposed sanctions, Oregon lost one
new scholarship in 2012-13 and its total number of
scholarships was reduced by one from the maximum
of 85. It also will lose a new scholarship in 2013-14
and have the total reduced by one each year through
the 2014-15 academic year.
The NCAA cut Oregon’s official paid visits from 56
to 37 for the next three academic years, reduced its
spring and fall evaluation days for each of the next
three seasons and banned the program from using
recruiting services during the probation period.
Oregon must also disassociate itself from Lyles and
his recruiting service.
The show-cause order for Kelly will require schools
to go before the infractions committee should they
wish to hire him, which seems unlikely since the
coach just left for the NFL. Former Oregon assistant
director of operations Josh Gibson was given a one-
year show-cause order after the NCAA said he was
aware of Lyles’ involvement in recruiting and routine-
ly told him to tell recruits to contact football coaches.
“Listen, no one wants to be in this position so I
don’t think anybody’s happy,” Oregon athletic direc-
tor Rob Mullens said. “Again, we’re pleased to be at
the end of the process and we’re ready to move for-
ward. We’ve learned a lot, some mistakes were made
and we corrected some of those along the way and we
still have some more things to implement. But we’re
pleased that it’s finished.”
The NCAA had been looking into Oregon’s recruit-
ing practices since questions arose over a 2010
payment to Lyles. He had a connection with Lache
Seastrunk, a star prep running back from Texas who
committed to Oregon in 2010, a month before the
payment.
When Oregon later released the recruiting package
it said Lyles had prepared for the school, the mate-
rial was largely outdated. While use of services to
identify potential recruits is allowed under NCAA
rules, questions were raised about Lyles’ relation-
ship with Seastrunk and other athletes from Texas,
and whether he steered any prospects to the Ducks,
which would be a violation.
Seastrunk redshirted for the Ducks his freshman
year before transferring to Baylor prior to the 2011
season.
The NCAA said Kelly was unaware of Lyles’
involvement in recruiting, but the committee noted
it is the head coach’s responsibility to know the rules
and ensure staff and coaches comply with them.
“I’ve not met an institution that wants to go through
the infractions and enforcement process,” infractions
committee member Greg Sankey said. “This was a
multi-year effort that certainly existed and there are
penalties that impacted the program. The committee
made its decisions based on information given to it,
not on other speculation and evaluations.”
Under Kelly, the Ducks appeared in four straight
BCS bowl games — including a bid for the nation-
al championship against Auburn in 2011. Oregon
finished 12-1 last season, capped by a victory over
Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl.
He was replaced by offensive coordinator Mark
Helfrich, who will make his debut as head coach on
Aug. 31.
by Christie’s actions.
Christie has pledged
to take his challenge of
the 1992 Professional
and Amateur Sports
Protection Act to the
U.S. Supreme Court if
necessary.

1917 — Catcher Hank Gowdy of the Braves be-
came the frst major league player to enter military
service in World War I.
1939 — The Brooklyn Dodgers and the Boston
Braves played a 23-inning, 2-2 tie. Whit Wyatt
pitched the frst 16 innings for the Dodgers. Both
clubs played a 26-inning tie in 1920 at the same
Braves Field.
1958 — Billy Pierce of the Chicago White Sox re-
tired 26 straight Washington batters before pinch-
hitter Ed Fitzgerald hit a double just inside the
right-feld line for the only hit. Pierce then struck
out Albie Pearson on three pitches and beat the
Senators 3-0.
1973 — David Clyde, a $125,000, 18-year-old bo-
nus baby with the Rangers, pitched fve innings,
struck out eight and allowed one hit in his frst ma-
jor league start. Texas beat the Minnesota Twins
4-3 before 35,698 fans — the Rangers’ frst home
sellout at Arlington Stadium.

on Wednesday in Seattle.
Mercer’s RBI single
lifts Pirates to win
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Jordy Mercer
hit a go-ahead single with two
outs in the ninth inning and
the Pittsburgh Pirates beat
the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on
Wednesday.
The Pirates improved to
48-30 — they are 18 games
over .500 for the first time
since 1992, their last winning
season.
Neil Walker hit a two-run
homer off Felix Hernandez to
put Pittsburgh ahead in the
fourth. Seattle tied it in the
sixth on Raul Ibanez’s team-
leading 18th home run.
Blue Jays 3, Rays 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. —
R.A. Dickey pitched a two-hit-
ter for his first complete game
of the year, helping the Toronto
Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay
Rays 3-0 Wednesday for their
12th win in 14 games.
Dickey (7-8) retired his first
13 batters before James Loney
grounded a single between
shortstop and third base with
one out in the fifth. Yunel
Escobar had a one-out single in
the sixth, and then was erased
when Matt Joyce hit a double-
play grounder.
Athletics 5, Reds 0
OAKLAND, Calif. — A.J.
Griffin pitched a two-hitter
for his first win in more than a
month, and Josh Donaldson hit
a three-run homer for Oakland.
Griffin (6-6) struck out
seven and walked two in a 108-
pitch gem for his first career
complete game, helping the A’s
sweep the two-game series.
Red Sox 5, Rockies 3
BOSTON — John Lackey
struck out a season-high 12
over seven strong innings and
Daniel Nava drove in two runs,
powering Boston to a sweep
of the two-game series against
Colorado.
Shane Victorino had three
hits and Dustin Pedroia was 2
for 4 for the Red Sox.
Colorado got two solo hom-
ers from Michael Cuddyer, who
extended his hitting streak to
23 games — matching Dante
Bichette’s club record set in
1995. The Rockies finished
a road trip in which they lost
seven of nine.
Nationals 3, Diamondbacks 2
WASHINGTON — Jordan
Zimmermann dominated
after a shaky start and rookie
Anthony Rendon had his third
three-hit performance as the
Washington Nationals defeated
the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The NL West-leading
Diamondbacks have lost three
straight, including the first two
games of their current 10-game
road trip.
Zimmermann (11-3) sur-
rendered two runs in the
first inning, but held the
Diamondbacks scoreless
with one hit over his final six
innings. He allowed three hits
overall, retired the final 10 bat-
ters he faced and improved to
13-0 at home dating back to
May 17, 2012.
Angels 7, Tigers 4
DETROIT — Mike Trout
homered and drove in three
runs, and Erick Aybar’s two-
run shot gave Los Angeles the
lead for good as the Angels beat
Detroit for their eighth consec-
utive win over the Tigers.
The Angels have outscored
the Tigers 55-21 during the
streak.
Miguel Cabrera and former
Angels outfielder Torii Hunter
homered for Detroit.
Mets 3, White Sox 0
CHICAGO—Shaun Marcum
pitched eight shutout innings
for his first win of the season,
and Eric Young Jr. had three
hits and drove in a run to lead
the New York Mets to a 3-0 vic-
tory over the Chicago White
Sox on Wednesday night.
Marcum (1-9) won for the
first time since Oct. 1, 2012,
while pitching for Milwaukee.
He avoided becoming the first
to start a season 0-10 since St.
Louis’ Anthony Reyes did it in
2007.
Marcum had lost his previ-
ous four starts and posted a
9.58 ERA in his last two out-
ings. The veteran right-hander
faced just three batters over
the minimum. He scattered
four hits and pitched around
two walks and was helped by
good defense behind him.
Indians 4, Orioles 3
BALTIMORE — Scott
Kazmir took a no-hitter into
the seventh, and the Cleveland
Indians scored two ninth-
inning runs off Baltimore
Orioles closer Jim Johnson to
pull out a victory.
A leadoff double in the sev-
enth by Manny Machado was
the only hit allowed by Kazmir,
who gave up one unearned run
in seven innings. He came out
to the mound for the eighth
but left with an apparent injury
before throwing a pitch.
Rangers 8, Yankees 5
NEW YORK — Nelson
Cruz homered and the Texas
Rangers got consecutive two-
run doubles from Adrian Beltre
and A.J. Pierzynski in a victory
over the New York Yankees.
Rangers rookie Justin Grimm
pitched just well enough to
beat Andy Pettitte, and the AL
West leaders won for the sev-
enth time in nine games follow-
ing a six-game slide — their
longest of the season. Texas
improved to 6-12 against the
Yankees since the start of 2011,
both perennial playoff teams
this decade.
Lyle Overbay and Ichiro
Suzuki homered for New York
on a hectic day at Yankee
Stadium, where baseball’s most
storied franchise announced
that first baseman Mark
Teixeira needs season-ending
surgery on his right wrist.
Astros 4, Cardinals 3
HOUSTON — Erik Bedard
pitched six effective innings
and the Houston Astros used a
four-run fourth inning to beat
the St. Louis Cardinals.
Bedard (3-3) allowed seven
hits and walked one, but lim-
ited St. Louis to three runs.
Three relievers then combined
to pitch two hitless innings
before Jose Veras worked the
ninth for his 16th save.
Veras yielded a one-out sin-
gle to Jon Jay and then walked
Matt Adams, but pinch hitter
Daniel Descalso struck out and
Matt Carpenter flied out to end
the game

on football that has made
him one of the most suc-
cessful coaches in NFL
history, the taciturn Bill
Belichick has long been
willing to take a chance on
talented but troubled play-
ers in hopes that a fresh
start with New England
and a winning environment
would keep them in line.
In most cases, players are
given short-term deals that
make it easy for the team to
purge them if the problems
reappear.
But under the five-year,
$41 million contract exten-
sion Hernandez signed last
year, a copy of which was
obtained by The Associated
Press, he will cost the
Patriots about $4 million
under the league’s salary
cap in 2013. That would
include the $1.323 million
salary for 2013 plus a pro-
rated portion of his sign-
ing bonus, according to an
NFL agent familiar with
the contract who spoke on
the condition of anonymity
because such details are not
public.
Next year’s cap hit would
be even worse — the $7.5
million left on his sign-
ing bonus plus his base
salary of about $1.1 mil-
lion, the agent said. The
NFL’s collective bargaining
agreement allows teams to
recoup bonus money when
a player is incarcerated.

Prominent NFL arrests
The Associated Press
New England tight
end Aaron Hernandez
was charged with mur-
der and weapons counts
Wednesday in the slaying
of a Massachusetts man.
Soon after he was
arrested, Hernandez was
cut by the team. The
NFL put out a statement
after the Patriots released
Hernandez but took no
action
This is a look at some
other notable criminal
cases involving NFL or
former NFL players, along
with the league’s actions
if they were active.
MICHAEL VICK:
Suspended indefi-
nitely without pay by
Commissioner Roger
Goodell in 2007 when
Vick pleaded guilty to
dogfighting conspiracy.
The Atlanta Falcons quar-
terback was sentenced to
23 months in federal pris-
on. A week after being
released from federal cus-
tody on July 20, 2009, and
having been released by
the Falcons, he was con-
ditionally reinstated by
Goodell. Less than three
weeks later, he signed
with the Philadelphia
Eagles, and played his
first regular-season game
in nearly three years on
Sept. 27 of that year.
ADAM “PACMAN”
JONES: The cornerback
was suspended by Goodell
for the 2007 season under
the league’s personal con-
duct policy after multiple
arrests while playing for
the Tennessee Titans.
Now with the Cincinnati
Bengals, he has been in
and out of legal trou-
ble, with at least seven
arrests over the years
and involvement in about
a dozen incidents that
included police interven-
tion. He recently pleaded
not guilty to an assault
charge after police say he
hit a woman at a night-
club. If he is found guilty
or accepts a plea bargain,
he would be subject to
another NFL suspension.
RYAN LEAF: After
four unproductive and
injury-plagued seasons in
the NFL from 1998-2001,
the quarterback was out
of the league and ran into
legal problems involving
drugs.

Eric Olson
APSportsWriter
OMAHA, Neb. — Not
only is UCLA the national
champion, the Bruins also
serve as a model for how to
build a winner in this new
era of college baseball.
The Bruins ended the
year with nary a .300 hitter,
but, boy, could they pitch
and play defense.
“We play a lot of tight
games,” star closer David
Berg said. “We aren’t explo-
sive offensively, but we win
a lot of games because we
do execute.”
They did all season, but
never more than at the
College World Series, where
their grinding offense and
lockdown pitching and
defense both frustrated and
fascinated opponents.
Some coaches have
lamented the drop-off in
offense since new bat stan-
dards went into effect in
2011. There also has been
grumbling about how
unfriendly the cavernous
TD Ameritrade Park is to
home-run hitters.
Bruins coach John Savage
said before the finals that
those coaches need to
stop complaining and start
adjusting.
They might want to fol-
low Savage’s lead.
A pitching coach before
he was a head coach, Savage
always has adhered to the
pitching-and-defense man-
tra.
As for offense, his philos-
ophy asks his team to capi-
talize on every opportunity
and scratch out runs any
which way it can.
It was a style well-suited
to 2013, when college base-
ball’s offensive numbers
were at or near the level of
the wooden bat days pre-
1974.
This College World Series
was Exhibit Afor the game’s
new age. The combined
batting average for the 14
games was .237. There were
three home runs.
The Bruins (49-17) bat-
ted .227 and had no homers.
That was the lowest batting
average by a national cham-
pion in the metal-bat era,
and they were the first team
since 1966 to win a title
with no home runs.
UCLA scored 11 runs in
its first four CWS games.
The 8-0 title-clinching victo-
ry over Mississippi State on
Tuesday pushed the Bruins’
CWS total to 19 — an aver-
age of 3.8 that is the lowest
by a champion in the metal-
bat era.
On the mound and in the
field is where the Bruins
won their school’s first
national championship in
baseball and NCAA-record
109th in a team sport.
Adam Plutko, Nick
Vander Tuig and Grant
Watson combined for five
straight outstanding starts
and James Kaprielian and
Zack Weiss bridged the way
to Berg, the Pac-12 pitcher
of the year and National
Stopper of the Year.
UCLA’s 0.80 ERAwas the
lowest since the metal bat
was put into play in 1974,
and the four runs allowed
in five games were the few-
est since California won
the 1957 title after allowing
three runs in five games.
The defense, which
ranked fifth nationally
with a .980 fielding per-
centage, committed three
errors that didn’t result in
any runs. Second baseman
Cody Regis and shortstop
Pat Valaika made a number
of stellar stops and turned
three double plays, and
right fielder Eric Filia made
one of the great catches of
the CWS when he ran down
Nick Ammirati’s fly to the
warning track on Monday.
“Our defense has been
great all year and our pitch-
ing staff has a lot of heart,”
Vander Tuig said. “We have
each other’s back.”
The Bruins batted .250
for the season, worst in the
Pac-12 and near the bottom
in Division I, but they usu-
ally were able to generate
enough runs.
In the CWS finals alone,
the Bruins had two runners
score after they had been hit
by a pitch, another after he
reached base on a wild-pitch
third strike and another
after he reached on a throw-
ing error.
The “get-‘em-on, move-
‘em-around” strategy was
fueled by a CWS record-
tying 12 sacrifices in five
games.
“We call ours a good prac-
tice team,” Savage said. “For
us to play well in games, you
have to do it in practice and
you have to do it in front of
the coaches. We work hard
— conditioning, weights,
practice — and we got bet-
ter in this tournament.”
The Bruins won 11
straight to finish the sea-
son, including all 10 of their
games in the NCAA tourna-
ment.

Eddie Pells
AP National Writer
LONDON — Never has
a routine, straight-sets vic-
tory been so remarkable.
Britain’s Andy Murray
brought a small sense of
order to Wacky Wednesday
at Wimbledon. In a day of
stunning upsets, ill-timed
injuries and slips and biffs
on the grass, his match
was ordinary, his scoreline
routine.
His 6-3, 6-3, 7-5 vic-
tory over Yen-hsun Lu of
Taiwan was notable only
for not being notable —
one of the rare times that
could be said on a day
when Roger Federer and
Maria Sharapova lost,
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga quit,
Victoria Azarenka didn’t
even start and five more
players, including the man
who beat Rafael Nadal ear-
lier in the week, also went
out with injuries.
“You have to concentrate
on yourself,” Britain’s top
player said. “I think when
a lot of players get injured,
the one thing is, you may
be a little tentative your-
self at the beginning of the
matches, maybe not feel
that comfortable throw-
ing yourself around the
court. But after the first
few games, that normally
goes away.”
Second-seeded Murray
served 11 aces and hit
41 winners to only 14
unforced errors during
his 2 hours, 1 minute on
Court 1, the same court
where Azarenka slipped
during her match Monday,
twisted her knee and, as it
turns out, hit her last shot
of Wimbledon 2013.
“The court was not in a
very good condition that
day,” Azarenka said after
announcing she’d with-
drawn.
Murray, however,
reported no issues with
his footing.
“I felt fine in my match-
es, to be honest,” he said.

Andy Murray reacts after missing a point as he plays Lu Yen-Hsun
of Taiwan during their second round match at Wimbledon in
London on Wednesday.
He is seeking to become
the first British man to
win his country’s Grand
Slam tournament since
1936. All by itself, that
makes every appearance
of his at Wimbledon a
pressure-packed, head-
line-producing affair
throughout London.
Given the way the draw
is opening up, Murray
should expect more of
the same over the next 11
days — or however long
he lasts.
“I don’t know what will
be written,” he said. “But
I just have to take care
of what’s going on on my
side of the court, prac-
tice well, prepare well for
the matches, try and con-
centrate on each one at a
time. I’ve done a good job
of that the last few years.”
It helped him get the
Olympic gold medal last
year, captured here at the
All England Club. He fol-
lowed that by winning
first Grand Slam trophy at
the U.S. Open.
Still, Wimbledon is —
well — Wimbledon and
Britain is hungry for a
champion it can call its
own.
When the draw first
came out, Murray was
looking at a possible
matchup against third-
seeded Federer or fifth-
seeded Nadal in the semifi-
nals en route to a possible
second straight final. On
the other side of the draw
stood top-seeded Novak
Djokovic, with none of the
sport’s Big Four in his way.
Nadal was gone Monday.
Now, Federer is gone, too.
As is Tsonga, the sixth-
seeded Frenchman who
was in Murray’s quarter
of the draw but withdrew
with an injury to his left
knee.
“I tried, but no chance
for me to beat a guy like
this without my legs,”
Tsonga said after quitting
down 2 sets to 1 against
Ernests Gulbis.
Murray’s next match
is against 32nd-seeded
Tommy Robredo, who
topped Nicolas Mahut
on Wednesday. The
only other seeds left in
Murray’s quarter are No.
20 Mikhail Youzhny and
No. 22 Juan Monaco.
The result capped a
chaotic day of injuries,
walkovers, retirements
and shocking results.
Third-seeded Maria
Sharapova, the 2004
champion, fell to a
131st-ranked qualifier.
No. 2 Victoria Azerenka
was among the seven
injury withdrawals —
believed to be a Grand
Slam single-day record
in the Open era. Federer
became the seventh for-
mer No. 1 player to exit
the championships on
this one day.
Only two days ago, two-
time champion Rafael
Nadal was bounced in
the first round by 135th-
ranked Steve Darcis.
After only three days
of play, five of the top 10
seeded women and four
of the top 10 men are
already out of the draw.
The owner of a record
17 major titles and the
defending champion,
Federer hadn’t been beat-
en in the second round
or earlier at a Slam since
a first-round defeat at the
2003 French Open.
The 31-year-old
Federer said he won’t
“panic” and will work
hard to come back stron-
ger.
“I’m looking forward
to what’s to come,” he
said. “Looking forward
to next year, that I can
do better next year. “
Federer said the end of
his quarterfinal run does
not represent the end of
an era.
“I still have plans to
play for many more years
to come,” he said. “It’s
normal that after all of a
sudden losing early after
being in the quarters 36
times, people feel it’s dif-
ferent. “
Federer’s defeat was
his earliest at the All
England Club since a
first-round loss in 2002
to 154th-ranked Mario
Ancic. Stakhovsky is the
lowest-ranked player to
beat Federer at any event
since then.
Most shocking:
Wednesday’s defeat came
on the same grass court
Federer has made his
own for nearly a decade.
It ended with
Stakhovsky converting
on his second match
point, a 13-stroke rally
that finished with
Federer hitting a back-
hand wide.
Stakhovsky fell onto
his back in celebration.
He later bowed to the
crowd as Federer walked
off the court with a quick
wave.
Federer converted only
one of eight break points
against Stakhovsky, who
broke the Swiss star
twice. The Ukrainian
piled up 72 winners
against 17 unforced
errors, while Federer
had 56 winners and 13
errors.
While few play serve-
and-volley these days,
Stakhovsky used the
tactic with great success
throughout the match to
keep Federer off balance.
He won 61 out of 96
points at the net.
“I’m still in disbe-
lief,” Stakhovsky said.
“When you play Roger
Federer at Wimbledon
it’s like you are playing
two persons. First you
play Roger Federer, then
you play his ego, and
on the Centre Court of
Wimbledon, where he is
historical.”
Federer

Economy growing
at sluggish pace
The U.S. economy grew at an annual
rate of 1.8 percent in the first three
months of the year, significantly
slower than first thought. The steep
revision occurred mostly because
consumers spent less than previously
estimated, a sign that higher taxes
could be dampening growth.
The Commerce Department revised
its estimate of economic growth for
the January-March quarter down from
a 2.4 percent annual rate. The revised
rate was still faster than the 0.4
percent rate in the October-December
quarter.
Economists had thought growth in
the April-June quarter would be 2 per-
cent or less. Analysts had also expect-
ed growth to strengthen in the second
half of this year. The downgrade for
the January-March quarter will likely
change those estimates.
Head of Wal-mart
in India leaves
The CEO of Wal-Mart Stores’ Indian
joint venture has left his post after six
years at the helm.
The world’s biggest retailer did
not give any reason in a statement
Wednesday as it disclosed that Raj Jain
“is no longer with the company.”
The company named Ramnik Narsey,
senior vice president for Walmart
International, as interim head for Bharti
Walmart, a joint venture with India’s
Bharti Enterprises.
Pope OKs probe of
Vatican bank
Pope Francis has named a commission
of inquiry to look into the activities of
the troubled Vatican bank amid a new
money laundering investigation and
questions about what exactly goes on
inside the secretive institution. It was
the second time in as many weeks that
Francis has intervened to get to get to
the bottom of the problems that have
plagued the Institute for Religious Works
for decades.
CEO was set for
$159M pension
McKesson’s Chairman and CEO John
Hammergren has set a new record in cor-
porate America: Largest pension around.
The drug distribution company dis-
closed in a regulatory filing Friday that
Hammergren was entitled to a $159 mil-
lion lump-sum payment for his pension,
had he voluntarily left the company on
March 31.

TOKYO —
Shareholders angry at
the utility company
behind Japan’s nucle-
ar catastrophe pep-
pered executives with
questions Wednesday
about leaking radio-
active water and
demanded a phase-out
of atomic power.
Fifteen such
motions from share-
holders, including
those demanding that
Tokyo Electric Power
Co. start supporting
alternative energy and
require executives to
donate their pay to
victims of the March
2011 nuclear disaster,
were defeated at an
annual shareholders’
meeting.
Japan has struggled
to rebuild communi-
ties and to clean up
radiation from the
Fukushima Dai-ichi
nuclear plant, whose
reactors melted down
after its cooling sys-
tems were disabled by
the tsunami. “Please
think of our suffer-
ing, our uncertainty,
our fear of living with
radiation,” said Ryuko
Tachibana, a stock-
holder from Namie, a
town near the plant
evacuated after the
accident. “Material
wealth does not lead
to human happiness.”
Other investors
also got up during the
nearly four hour meet-
ing at a downtown
Tokyo stadium to
express outrage at the
company’s handling of
the catastrophe and
its aftermath.
The plant is still bat-
tling leaks, mounds of
contaminated debris
and power outage
problems. The govern-
ment estimates four
decades will be need-
ed for decommission-
ing. TEPCO is paying
no dividends. The
stock price has nose-
dived, although it has
recovered some of the
initial plunge.
Greenpeace Japan
activists, among the
shareholders, were
dressed up like casi-
no workers before a
fake gambling table
set up at the stadium
entrance.
“Nuclear power is
a dangerous gamble,”
said Yuki Sekimoto,
a Greenpeace spokes-
woman. TEPCO
was bailed out by
the government and
nationalized. As its
biggest shareholder,
the government backs
TEPCO and is study-
ing the restart of idled
reactors under new
safety standards.
Although some in
the crowd shouted
at and heckled the
executives, the sta-
dium was also packed
with investors allied
with TEPCO. Security
guards were every-
where, and one excit-
ed anti-nuclear share-
holder got his micro-
phone turned off and
was told to sit down.
TEPCO officials
repeatedly bowed and
apologized for the
“troubles and wor-
ries” the disaster had
caused.
But they acknowl-
edged they did not
know when the leak-
ing radioactive water
would end because
water was crucial to
keep melted fuel cool
and it was a techno-
logical challenge to
find exactly where the
leaks were.

SAN FRANCISCO — Microsoft on Wednesday
released a preview version of an update to Windows 8,
aiming to address some of the gripes people have with
the company’s flagship operating system.
At a conference in San Francisco, Microsoft CEO
Steve Ballmer acknowledged that the company pushed
hard to get people to adopt a radical new tile-based
“Modern” user interface in Windows 8. Microsoft is
now back-pedaling, making it easier to reach and use
the older “desktop” interface.
“Let’s make it easier to start applications the way
we’re used to,” Ballmer told the audience of software
developers. “What we will show you today is a refined
blend of our Desktop experience and our Modern
experience.”
Microsoft made the preview of Windows 8.1 avail-
able for free as a download.
Windows 8.1 will allow people to boot up in Desktop
mode. There, they’ll find a button that resembles the
old Start button. It won’t take users to the old Start
menu, but to the new “Modern” Windows 8 start
screen. Still, the re-introduction of the familiar button
might make it easier for longtime Windows users to
get accustomed to the changes. A common complaint
about Windows 8 is that it hides features and func-
tions, and replaces buttons with gestures and invisible
click zones that have to be memorized.
Other new features of Windows 8.1 include more
options to use multiple apps. People will be able to
determine how much of the screen each app takes
while showing up to four different programs, rather
than only two. The update will also offer more inte-
grated search results, showing users previews of web-
sites, apps and documents that are on the device, all
at once.
The preview version of Windows 8.1 is meant for
Microsoft’s partners and other technology developers,
but anyone can download it. The release comes exactly
eight months after desktops, laptops and tablets with
Windows 8 went on sale. The version of the Windows
8.1 update meant for the general public will come later
in the year, though the company hasn’t announced a
specific date.
Julie Larson-Green, the head of Microsoft’s Windows
division, said the update, rapid by Microsoft standards,
“shows how much more responsive our engineering
has become.”
Many of the new features have been shown already. A
three-day Build conference, which started Wednesday
in San Francisco, gives Microsoft developers a chance
to learn more about the new system and try it out. It
also will give the company a chance to explain some
of the reasoning behind the update and sell develop-
ers on Microsoft’s ambitions to regain relevance lost
to Apple’s iPad and various devices running Google’s
Android software.

NEW YORK — Get people
to swap tea or coffee for soft
drinks with breakfast — that’s
one of the strategies Coca-
Cola’s main bottler in Europe
is targeting to boost soft drink
consumption in the United
Kingdom.
Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc.
issued a report last week that
identifies a variety of ways it
can increase sales over the next
five years in the region. One
category entitled “Complete
the Meal” notes that breakfast
is often referred to as the most
important meal of the day, with
about a quarter of all drinks
being consumed before 10 a.m.
“How do we motivate peo-
ple to make soft drinks, like
smoothies, juices and other on-
the-go products, part of their
morning ritual in the same way
as tea or coffee?” the report
asks.
The optimistic report comes
as soda consumption has been
fading in developed countries
such as the U.S. amid concerns
they fuel weight gain. To com-
bat criticism, Coca-Cola Co.
began airing TV ads this year
that explain what it’s doing
to fight obesity. The Atlanta-
based company and rival
PepsiCo Inc. are also working
on making better-tasting diet
sodas that use natural sweeten-
ers.
The “See the Opportunity”
report issued by Coca-Cola
Enterprises also notes that
there are no soft drinks in the
United Kingdom designed as
“relaxation” drinks, as there are
in Japan and the U.S. Without
specifying any brands, it notes
that drinks containing melato-
nin are expected to exceed 300
million liters of consumption
in the U.S. by 2014.
Other ways to increase sales
include making soft drinks a
pick-me-up at work or provid-
ing the right range of packages
at the right prices for teens at
places such as the movies, the
report states.
It also notes that the
“Daytime At Home” category
is largely untapped for the soda
industry, with tap water and
hot drinks being the most com-
mon beverages at home.
The report notes that people
want to be more healthy by
drinking more water but that
soft drinks can offer “refresh-
ing, health and tasty alterna-
tives.”
Howabout a cola for breakfast?

SECTION C
PHILADELPHIA — This friendship
started as so many do between high
school girls: Abby Kessler liked Katie
Loftus’ clothes and makeup; Loftus
liked Kessler’s.
“That’s all I cared about,” Kessler,
now 34, recalled recently. “That and
boys.”
The North Penn High School gradu-
ates went on to Drexel University
together to study design and merchan-
dising, then on to New York to work in
the garment industry.
The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11,
2001, inspired them to move back to
Philadelphia and start a line of edgy,
embellished T-shirts. By day, they
worked at Nordstrom; by night, they
were jazzing up shirts, usually in the
basement of Loftus’ mother.
They managed to get their Smak
line in 20 stores but chafed against the
lack of control over display of their cre-
ations. So they opened a store of their
own in Philadelphia, putting $60,000 in
start-up costs on credit cards.
“We had no money,” Kessler said.
“We were fearless.”
Eight years later, their Smak Parlour
at 219 Market St. in Philadelphia’
Old City is a mix of their designs and
others’ — all on display whichever
way they choose. Inspired in part by
a retailing trend and by a more risk-
averse business attitude they have
adopted — call it maturity, perhaps
— the pair are about to take a novel
approach to expansion.
In what is believed to be a first in
Philadelphia, Smak Parlour is going
mobile, taking a page from a commer-
cial sector that has exploded in growth
on city streets: lunch trucks.
Kessler and her now-married friend
and business partner, Katie Lubieski,
just got a city license to park and
operate on weekdays on 40th Street,
between Spruce and Locust Streets, a
truck version of their frilly, heavy-in-
pink-decor boutique.
Smak Parlour will park bumper
to bumper with mobile vendors that
lure the hungry from the University
of Pennsylvania. Equipped with sales
racks and dressing rooms, it will roll by
the end of June,
maybe sooner,
depending on the
pace of retrofit-
ting. You can keep
tabs on Facebook
and at www.twitter.com/smakparlour.
“I think it’s the future — going
mobile, being at the right spot at the
right time,” Kessler said.
It’s already the rage in Los Angeles,
which was well ahead of Philadelphia in
the gourmet-food-truck movement.
“It makes a lot of business sense,”
said Natalie Nixon, director of
Philadelphia University’s Strategic
Design MBA program and a professor
of fashion-industry management. “It
really decreases certain overhead costs.
… Certainly, it’s going to be an option
more for small/medium enterprises
because the cost of doing business in
this economy is becoming more and
more prohibitive. And it’s a way for
new entrepreneurs to launch a busi-
ness.”
Although Smak Parlour paid nearly
$3,000 for the privilege to park and sell
curbside for a year in University City,
the truck won’t be anchored there, its
owners said.
“You go where your customers are,”
Kessler said. “We’re just going to drive
around and see where it’s most success-
ful.”
This summer, visits to the Jersey
Shore and street fairs are planned.
The idea to take their store on
the road started with Lubieski and
Kessler’s desire to add a second retail
location for Smak Parlour, which also
has an online store (www.smakpar-
lour.com ). But where they were look-
ing — Ardmore, for instance — the
rents were more than twice what they
pay in Old City, they said.
So they went shopping. For less
than $10,000, they bought a 2006
GMC 5500 diesel box truck — 18 feet
long by 8 feet high — with 183,000
miles on it. It was last used by the
Salvation Army.
“We thought it had good karma,”
Lubieski, 34, said.
Said Kessler: “It’s super big and
badass-looking.”
Among those impressed with the
idea is Patricia Blakely, executive
director of the Merchants Fund, which
has provided a $20,000 grant for the
truck’s fit-out.
“The owners of Smak Parlour are
the cleverest example of what every
smart retailer needs to be — nimble,”
Blakely said in an e-mail. “In this
changing economy, they have been
able to open a women’s clothing and
accessories business, be successful,
grow sales, and change the model
to respond to consumer demand.
The new mobile clothing business …
means they can take the store to the
customers all wrapped in the best cus-
tomer service. So smart!
“We see this as an emerging trend in
retail … and we wanted to be in on the
ground floor,” she said.
More enthusiastic reaction about
the city’s newest vendor on wheels
came from Dan Pennachietti, presi-
dent and cofounder of the 103-member
Philadelphia Mobile Food Association
and operator of Lil Dan’s Gourmet, a
truck offering “South Philly Italian”
fare since March 2010.
“I’m in love with this idea,”
Pennachietti said. “It just adds so
much more of a dynamic to our trade
here.”
He’s hoping that means new customers.
“I cannot wait until I’m sharing a
spot with them,” Pennachietti said.
“They’re going to bring their own cli-
entele. That may be the clientele that
hasn’t had my food yet.”
You’ve heard of food trucks...

Suits that are 100 per-
cent wool will last 8 to 10
years. So, when it comes
time to shop, men should
find a suit they like.
“Menswear is defi-
nitely a long-term invest-
ment,” Zach Thompson,
store manager at Men’s
Wearhouse on Whiteford
Road in Springettsbury
Township, said.
Men’s biggest mistake?
They don’t take shopping
seriously, Thompson
said.
“A lot of times a guy
comes in and says ‘My
wife says I need one.’ I
ask, ‘What do you think,
sir?’ He says, ‘I don’t
know’and looks at his
wife.”
But Thompson encour-
ages shoppers to care.
After all, if they care
about the way they look
and want to be comfort-
able, they need to choose
a suit that fits them.
Men looking to invest
in a new suit, whether it’s
for daily use or a special
occasion, might not know
where to start.
Here are a three tips
for making sure a suit
jacket is the right size for
you:
1. The edge of the
coat should come off the
shoulder and lay flush
with the bicep. Men
should have a structured
look through the shoul-
der.
2. Sleeves should land
at the break of the wrist.
Thompson said a lot of
men stick their arms
straight out in front of
them to check length
— that doesn’t show any-
thing. The sleeves will
look short when you do
that. They are made to fit
when your arms are down
and relaxed.
3. The coat should
taper off an inch or two
below the rear. When
relaxing their arms at
their sides, men’s fingers
should be able to bend up
and touch the bottom of
the coat.
After finding the right
suit, men should see a
tailor. Most suits come in
a boxy form to allow for
tailoring. When finished,
a suit should fit and move
close to the body.
Bob Haag of Red Lion
said every suit he owns is
tailored. Haag is 6 feet 6
inches tall.
“I’m the same size as
Michael Jordan,” Haag
said. “The difference is
that he can play.”
Because of his height,
Haag has to take suit
shopping seriously. He

has to find a store that
carries his 38-inch sleeve
length and size 52 jacket.
He’s extra long. He’s
broad-shouldered.
He said it’s best to seek
professional advice. He
goes to Men’s Wearhouse
(mostly because it’s one
of the only local stores
that carries his size) to
find out what is available
and what’s in style.
Thompson said he
offers advice to anyone
that walks in — they
don’t have to buy any-
thing to get measured.
“There’s nothing wrong
with trying to look your
best,” Haag said. “There
are still places where a
man needs to dress up,
even if it’s just taking his
wife out to dinner.”

ESSENTIAL
SUITS
Zach Thompson,
store manager at
Men’s Wearhouse
on Whiteford Road
in Springettsbury
Township, said there
are essential pieces
every man should have
in his closet:
• Navy sport coat
• Charcoal suit
• Black suit
• Earth-tone suit (a
tan or brown)
Trends
The latest trends in
formal wear include
tapered, wide-collared
patterned shirts and
skinny ties (the wid-
est tie should measure
2 1/2 inches). Men
should accessorize
with pocket silks,
tie bars and colored
socks.
Belt
“Belt matches shoes
always,” Thompson
said.
Belts are a fashion
accessory, not a util-
ity. It should be able
to slide around when
fastened. If a man uses
a belt to hold up his
pants, the belt will
cinch the waist and
deform the shape of
the pant.
Occupation
Thompson usually
asks his customers
why they are buying a
suit when they come
into the store. He
also asks about their
job. Why? Because he
wants to make sure
the suit will work for
the occasion or the
career.
One of Thompson’s
customers is a conduc-
tor. He usually does
arm movements in
the fitting room. The
customer needs his
sleeves to fit a certain
way, and that’s how he
finds out.

Recently, she produced
the teen hit “Beastly” and

Catherine Zeta Jones.
Cartsonis, an execu-
tive at 20th Century
Fox for nearly a decade,
rose from script reader
to senior vice president
of production. During
her tenure at Fox, a
few of the many films
she supervised include
“Nell,” “The Truth About
Cats and Dogs,” “For the
Boys,” “Dying Young,”
and “Buffy the Vampire
Slayer.”
Cartsonis serves on the
advisory board of Wilkes

teaches advanced produc-
ing at USC.

AP Music Writer
NEW YORK (AP) —
Diddy hopes to bring music back to television
Diddy had been work-
ing on developing a TV
network for years. When
he was almost shut out
of performing on ABC’s
“Dancing With the Stars”
around the release of a
2010 album, the rapper-
producer realized he need-
ed to launch the network
sooner rather than later.
“I had to beg to be on …
‘Dancing With the Stars,’
and it was something to
me that wasn’t right about
that,” he said.
Diddy believed there
weren’t enough outlets for
musicians on TV — and
that moment drove home
the point. He’s launching
Revolt TV in the fall.
“There’s ESPN for
sports, CNN, Fox News for
news and the AP. There
should be a brand for
music, and now we have
that brand that’s going to
focus on music and not
reality shows,” he said.
“There’s been a gap-
ing hole once some of the
other channels stopped
having focus on music and
focused more on reality,
and it left a gaping hole
for artists and fans of
not having a place to go.”

les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My hus-
band has moved our
motor home into our
driveway and lets our
8-year-old grandson
and the neighbor-
hood boys play inside
without supervision.
They often mess up a whole lot of
stuff, and worse, it leaves us open for
a lawsuit if anyone gets hurt!
I can’t convince him that it’s not
OK to let the boys play inside. Ac-
tually, I think he knows it, but our
grandson only has to whine or cry
and my husband folds. Can you help
me get through to him?
— Concerned Grandma in Texas
Dear Concerned Grandma: I prob-
ably can’t, but I’m willing to bet that
your lawyer and your insurance agent
can. Notify them about what’s going
on, and let them tell your husband
what the consequences will be if any-
thing unforeseen should happen.
Dear Abby: I have started working
at a cafe. My best friend works there,
and she helped me get the job. When
I ask questions, she keeps doing stuff
for me and won’t let me learn. I have
to learn by doing.
When I go home, I feel like I’m not
good at it, and I start missing my co-
workers from my old job.
I don’t know how to enjoy my new
job, and I get all quiet around my
friend because she obviously realizes
when I’m not doing something right.
How do I keep up a good attitude?
— Sad Girl in Utah
Dear Sad Girl: Stop asking your
friend to coach you. People have dif-
ferent learning styles. The person
who should be teaching you is your
boss. Because new routines take prac-
tice to master, have him or her show
you the ropes so you can mirror what
that person is doing.
Dear Readers: After I printed the
letter from “Can’t Believe It Down
South” (May 13), about the grandfa-
ther who is insisting that his grand-
daughter’s Greek fiance change his
last name “because it is too long and
impossible to pronounce,” I loved
what you had to say. Some of your
comments made me laugh, so I’m
sharing them with you:
Dear Abby: I saw the letter from
“Can’t Believe It,” and I have just the
response for him:
“Dear Grandpa: Don’t worry. With
the wedding eight weeks away, you
will have plenty of time to learn to
say ‘Mrs. Papageorgiou.’
“By the way, we have decided on
the reception menu: spanakotyropita,
tsipouradika and kolokythoanthoi, all
washed down with ouzomezedhes.”
— Get Your Own Name
Dear Abby: Many years ago, my
cousin was a rabid Burt Reynolds fan.
Her friend, a flight attendant, was on
the same plane as Burt, so she asked
him for an autographed photo for my
cousin. Burt spelled her name wrong,
and when my cousin saw it, she said,
“Oh, well. I don’t mind changing the
spelling for HIM!”
— “Abbdict” in Germany
Dear Abby: Dang! That granddad
sure is a pain in the Acropolis.
— Gene of Aquitaine
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
RV parked in the driveway keeps boys busy, but grandma is worried
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
can’t rely on your drive to get a
job done. Create a system that
will carry you through whether
or not the drive is there. A Virgo
will be helpful in the situation.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll
have the chance to include new
people in a venture. Like the col-
ored gels that change the look
of stage lights, what you add to
your life right now will change
the way you see everything else.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s
something automatic in a loved
one’s response to you. Think of
this as a challenge. Interrupt the
pattern just for fun. This is how
you keep from falling into a rut.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There
are times when being careless
with personal information or
money is of little consequence,
but this is not one of them. You’ll
benefit from being a bit guarded
with both.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Are you
getting better? That’s the only
question you care about today.
You fear sliding backward, but
sometimes in order to take a big
leap forward, you have to back
up a bit to get momentum.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may
procrastinate most of the day,
but finally, you won’t be able to
put it off any longer. Then you’ll
celebrate a personal victory
when you finally do the thing
you’ve been putting off.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Learning
to talk and walk are momentous
times in a personal history, and
after the driver’s license, first
kiss, etc., we tend to lose track.
But momentous moments occur
at every age.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
Sometimes you worry about
whether other people are hav-
ing much more fun than you.
They’re not. They’re having just
as much, maybe less. Does know-
ing this make you feel better?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Automate more of your life. A
learning curve will be involved,
but once the arc is bridged,
you’ll free up so much time that
you’ll wonder why you didn’t do
this ages ago.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The
chasm between saying and doing
can be deep and wide. You’ll con-
sider this when a person’s talk
doesn’t ring quite true. Stay alert
to the discrepancies.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In
your book, people prove them-
selves over time. Your “wait and
see” approach will usually save
you from future headache and
heartache. This time, though, it
won’t hurt to give someone the
benefit of the doubt.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There
are ideas inside you waiting to
be released. You can’t teach
yourself to be creative, but you
can learn to get out of your own
way and let your natural creativ-
ity flow.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 27).
Your birthday present from the
stars is the gift of accurate esti-
mations. Sound too practical to
be fun? This super power is just
what you need to succeed again
and again. You’ll correctly assess
what’s necessary to reach a goal,
how much it will cost and wheth-
er it’s the right aim for you. Your
lucky numbers are: 3, 13, 22, 24
and 7.

Dear Friends,
It is with great sadness and regret that I am writing to inform you that I will no longer
be seeing patients as of June 28, 2013 at my offce. It has been a privilege and great
honor to have been your dentist. One of my professional goals has been to treat my
patients with kindness, respect and professionalism. Giving up that opportunity here
in Wyoming Valley is very disappointing to me.
The continued excellent care for my patients is of paramount importance to me.
I have given this a great deal of thought. To that end, I have asked Dr. Jason G.
Nataupsky to continue to treat my patients here in my offce. Dr. Nataupsky has all
the qualities and values that I admire and is committed to the same high standard of
dental care for you and your families.
His goal will always be to see that you have excellent dental health. He will continue
to treat you as individuals, listening carefully to your needs. He is very conservative
in his approach to treatment but is extremely comprehensive and thorough. He will
respect your time and concerns in a friendly and relaxed environment.
Appointments can be made by calling the same phone number that you know:
570-829-7863.
Dr. John Hosage will only be available in his Mt. Top Offce, 227 S. Mountain Blvd., Mr.
Z’s Shopping Plaza. Appointments can be made there by calling 570-474-9231.
I strongly urge you to take advantage of these opportunities to continue your care
with these fne dentists. Thank you again for the privilege of being your dentist.
Sincerely,
Steven A. Bonomo, D.D.S
