A Maryland company is yank-
ing its insurance coverage of the
landmark Hotel Sterling because
of the poor condition of the
structure, according to a cancel-
lation notice received by the Lu-
zerne County Controllers Office
Friday.
CityVest, the Sterlings non-
profit owner and developer, must
insure the building at the corner
of Market and River streets to
comply with its
county loan
agreement,
county Com-
munity Devel-
opment Direc-
tor Andrew
Reilly said Fri-
day.
Insurance
coverage was
one of the man-
dates when the
county loaned
CityVest $6 mil-
lion in commu-
nity develop-
ment funds for
the project, Reilly said. The
county will contact CityVest to
determine how it plans to ad-
dress the insurance cancellation,
he said.
CityVest representatives could
not immediately be reached for
comment Friday. The nonprofit
is run by volunteers, and the $6
million has been spent, largely to
demolish an attached structure,
remove environmental hazards
and to make the parcel bigger.
County commissioners have
rejected CityVests request to
take over the project and deter-
mine whether the 113-year-old
structure will be fully or partially
saved or demolished. Commis-
sioners agreed to try to help fund
some of the estimated $1 million
demolition cost, but theyve
made it clear the city would have

Food Drive
its most suc-

with 33 tons
of edibles for
families in

The Unit-
ed Way had set a daunting goal of
collecting100,000pounds of food
for the two-week drive, July 18-
29. And organizers just might hit
their mark at a time when dona-
tions are sorely needed as area
food pantries are receiving un-
precedented requests for help
fromunder- and unemployed res-
idents.
To boost collections, area com-
panies have fun with the annual
event, competing with one an-
other or even within depart-
ments. This year the United Way
tapped into modern social media
for the first time, said John Win-
slow, director of communica-
tions and special events.
The agency setup an Event
on its new Facebook site. For ev-
ery person who clicks on the

WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County judge has re-
moved himself from the capital
murder case of Hugo Selenski,
saying a member of his staff
has a personal relationship
with a key witness.
Judge William Amesbury,
who was assigned to Selenskis
case in late June, filed a one-
page order Friday, stating that
because a member of his legal
staff has had a long-standing
personal relationship with a
key witness, he is recusing
himself from the case to avoid
even the appearance of bias.
Amesbury was the fifth
judge assigned to Selenskis
case since Se-
lenski was
charged in
May 2006
with the
deaths of
Tammy Fas-
sett and Mi-
chael Kerkow-
ski, whose bodies were un-
earthed from the Kingston
Township property where Se-
lenski lived.
Selenski faces the death pen-
alty if convicted of first-degree
murder in Fassett and Kerkow-
skis deaths. The couple was
unearthed from Selenskis
Kingston Township home in
June 2003. His trial has long
been delayed and no new date
has yet been set.
At the time, two other bod-
ies were also identified, Frank
James and Adeiye Keiler. One

MUNICIPAL BRIEFS
SOUTHPADREISLAND, Tex-
as In the end, Tropical Storm
Donwas little more thansummer
thunderstorms. Some scattered
showers were expected to linger
over parts of SouthTexas, but the
areas best hope for substantial
rain in months collapsed on ap-
proach Friday evening, drizzling
the area with less than an inch of
rain and strong breezes.
Officially the center of Don re-
mained just off the Texas coast at
8:40 p.m. CDTFriday, but at that
point it was little more than a low
pressure system, said Lixion Avi-
la, a senior hurricane specialist at
the National Hurricane Center.
Its a very weak system, Avila
said. It doesnt matter whether
it makes landfall. Since Donnev-
er became a hurricane, the center
would not release a special land-
fall advisory. Its next scheduled
update was scheduled for 10 p.m.
CDT. The cluster of storms was
centered south of Baffin Bay in a
sparsely populated area of ranch
lands.
Cotton growers who scram-
bledtoharvest inrecent days, but
still left the bulk of their fluffy
bolls in the field could breathe a
sigh of relief since National
Weather Service stations in Cor-
pus Christi and Brownsville said
rainfall was about a
1
2 inch in
most areas. For other farmers
and ranchers, it will be back to
watching the skies longingly for
rain.
It was not nearly as muchrain-
fall or wind as originally fore-
cast, said National Weather Ser-
vice meteorologist Joseph Toma-
selli. It would have badly dam-
aged the cotton crop. The
strongest winds recorded were
about 36mphat anoffshore buoy,
he said.
Onshore, meteorologist Lara
Keys in the services Corpus
Christi office said winds gusted
to 23 mph.
It hit dry air and sheared and
it tore it apart really, Keys said.
Almost all of Texas is in ex-
treme drought, and even Dons
projected few inches of rain
wouldnt have cured that. It was
somewhat of a dud, said Carlos

Main break affects area
Pennsylvania American Water re-
paired a broken 12-inch water main on
Coal Street around 10:20 p.m. Friday.
The break occurred earlier in the
afternoon and affected a wide coverage
area for the utility. The main was locat-
ed in the area damaged by flash flood-
ing on July 3.
The break resulted in no water ser-
vice, low pressure and cloudy water in
the following areas: Wilkes-Barre in the
Heights section and South Wilkes-
Barre; Sugar Notch; Plymouth; Ply-
mouth Township; Larksville; Hanover
Township; and Edwardsville.
Pennsylvania American had set up
water tankers at the armory on Main
Street, Plymouth, the Wyoming Valley
West Middle School on State Street,
Larksville, and Holy Cross Church,
Main Street, Buttonwood Section of
Hanover Township, for customers af-
fected by the break.
HARRISBURG
Court upholds sentence
The state Superior Court has upheld
the 18- to 40-year prison sentence of a
Wilkes-Barre woman who admitted to
fatally stabbing another woman in a
fight over a bank access card.
Shannon Chamberlain pleaded guilty
in March 2010 to third degree murder
for causing the death of Sandra White.
Police said Chamberlain stabbed White
in the back during an altercation on
April 18, 2009.
Luzerne County Judge David Lupas
sentenced Chamber-
lain in June 2010. She
appealed, arguing the
sentence was overly
harsh because Lupas
did not adequately
consider psycholog-
ical evidence and the
fact she had pleaded
guilty.
In an opinion supporting the sen-
tence, Lupas noted Chamberlain had an
extensive criminal history. He said the
psychological evidence Chamberlain
referenced was merely a recommenda-
tion of a defense expert that she be
sentenced to a term of imprisonment
that would give her the chance of being
paroled in middle age because that
would motivate her to take part in
rehabilitative programs while in prison.
The Superior Court upheld the sen-
tence in a ruling issued July 22.

Luzerne County Judges Jo-
seph Van Jura and Joseph Cos-
grove confirmed they are
among the applicants seeking
appointment to three open
seats on the federal judiciary.
The judges, whose appoint-
ments to the Luzerne County
bench will expire in December,
made application for the feder-
al seats to a 20-member review
panel that was established in
April by U.S. Sens. Robert
Casey, D-Scranton and Pat Too-
mey, R-Zionsville.
The applicationis the second
for Cosgrove. He applied in
2010, but failed to garner a rec-
ommendation from Casey and
then-Sen. Arlen Specter. The
senators insteadrecommended
attorney Robert Mariani of
Scranton and two other Scran-
ton attorneys to President Ba-
rack Obama.
Obama nominated Mariani
in January. He was approved
last week by the Senates Judi-
ciary Committee and is now
awaiting the vote of the full
Senate.
Cosgrove cited his experi-
ence in federal law in deciding
to re-submit his application.
I have extensive experience
in litigation, a good deal of that
at the federal level. I taught
constitutional law for more
than 20 years and now have a
year and half trial judge experi-
ence. Im asking to be consid-
ered again for nomination,
Cosgrove said.
Van Jura confirmed he is
seeking a federal judgeship, but

WILKES-BARRE A3.3-acre lot on
Water Street near the Luzerne County
Courthouse has been
blocked off as the own-
er, UGI Penn Natural
Gas Inc. cleans up con-
tamination.
UGI had allowed
courthouse visitors to
park in the largely un-
paved lot before it was secured for re-
mediation about three weeks ago.
The contamination is in the area of
two giant gas holding tanks that had
beenremovedfromthe property years
ago, said UGI spokesman Don Bro-
minski.
The site operated as a natural gas
plant from1887 to 1969, he said.
The remediation is required by a
2004 consent order agreement with
the state Department of Environmen-
tal Protection, he said.
County Chief Engineer Joe Gib-
bons, who is familiar with the project,
said big concrete cups had been left in
the groundandfilledwithdirt, but the
chemicals used in the gas processing
contaminated the
soil.
UGI contractors
are excavating about
15 to 20 feet where
the tanks had been,
removing the con-
taminated soil and
replacing it with fresh dirt, Brominski
said.

at the site to assess the contamina-
tion, Brominski said.

sess damage caused
by flooding earlier

Its possible that
restoration could be
paid for largely with
federal funds.
These are non-fed-

According to Chris-
topher Augsburger,

neers, it could take up
to 45 days to determine eligibility for
funding.
Augsburger said the teamthat was in
Plymouth will do a comparison of the
flood protection systems condition pri-
or to the flooding of July 3 and 4 and its
current condition. They will then esti-
mate the cost to repair the damage and
file their report. Augsburger said the
dollar amount thresholdfor eligibilityis
$15,000. Once approved, the project
would be placed on a national priority

SCRANTON Mayor Chris Doherty
announced the elimination of eight fire-
fighters and 13 police officers on Friday
as the city faces dire economic circum-
stances.
Cuts are effective on Aug. 29.
After several months of allowing a
budget proposed and passed by Scran-
ton City Council to work its course, Do-
herty said Friday that the fiscal plan
wasnt working.
I vetoed that budget because I had
many concerns about the revenue
stream that was coming in, he said.
Specifically, council reduced real es-
tate taxes by10.55 percent and business
privilege andmercantile taxes by 25 per-
cent, producing a shortfall of $2 million
in revenue, according to Doherty.
The city will save approximately
$225,000 this year from the reductions
inpolice andfire staff. Inaddition, anad-
ministrative fire cap-
tain, fire inspector and
fire prevention officer
will lose their titles
and resume roles in
fire suppression at
their current salaries.
Cuts to the fire de-
partment have shut-
tered one engine company in North
Scranton since January, and Interna-
tional Association of Fire Fighters Local
60 Secretary John Judge said it will like-
ly cause the permanent closure of En-
gine 15 serving the Hill section, central
city and Green Ridge.
Doherty said the latest cuts will not
affect fire response times, but IAFF Lo-
cal 60 President Dave Gervasi begged to
differ.
This shakes me up. This is just bad
for everybody, Gervasi said. Were a
one-alarm fire department now. We
cant do two incidents at the same time.
I find it remarkable that the mayor
would put the entire city of Scranton at
riskbefore lookingat his owncreatedfat
in city government, he said.

appointed to the Luzerne County
bench in 2010 to fill the unex-
pired terms of two former county
judges who pleaded guilty to cor-
ruption charges. Van Jura filled
the seat of Michael Toole, while
Cosgrove filled Mark Ciavarellas
seat.
Both judges considered run-
ning for the full, 10-year terms for
those seats that are up for elec-
tion in November. They bowed
out after questions arose regard-
ing whether they had reneged on
a promise not to seek the seats.
Van Jura and Cosgrove are
hoping to fill two of the three
seats in the federal courts mid-
dle district that were left vacant
when judges Richard Caputo and
James Munley became senior
judges and Thomas Vanaskie ac-
cepted an appointment as with
the Third Circuit Court of Ap-
peals.
Marianis unanimous approval
by the Senate Judiciary commit-
tee virtually assures he will be
appointed to one of the seats.
The race for the other two re-
mains open, however.
Two other attorneys who pre-
viously sought appointment,
Barry Dyller of Wilkes-Barre and
Joseph Musto of Pittston, said
they decided not to resubmit
their names.
Musto, 67, said he decided to
opt out because of his age andthe
length of time involved in the
nominating and confirmation
process.
The process is so long. You go
through a screening, then the
nomination and confirmation
process. I realized at my age it
was not logical for me to pursue
it at this point, he said.
Dyller said he decided he
wanted to continue to focus on
his private practice.
I have an extremely busy pri-
vate practice. I dont want to give
up my practice or the civil rights
and other litigation work I do,
he said.
The deadline to apply for the
open seats was July 15. The iden-
tity and number of applicants for
the judicial seats positions has
not been publicly released. It
could not be determined when
the nomination review panels
created by Casey and Toomey
will begin interviewing appli-
cants.
Once the committees make
their recommendations, the Sen-
ators will decide which persons
they wish to recommend to Pres-
ident Obama. That person would
thengo before the Senate for con-
firmation.

Brozena said crews from the
county have been working on
the Plymouth system, remov-
ing debris and restoring the
walls that were damaged when
the flood waters raged through.
The Army Corps and DEP of-
ficials did not review damage
on Coal Street in Plymouth and
Plymouth Township where the
upper part of the roadway re-
mains open and a 36-inch water
main line is exposed.
Were here only to assess the
damage of the existing infras-
tructure of the federal and non-
federal flood control systems,
said Sean Donnelly, chief,
Completed Projects Section for
DEP.
Brozena said the
county has submitted a
written request to the
U.S. Army Corps of En-
gineers to provide fund-
ing to repair two
bridges and a road dam-
aged on Coal Street by
the flooding in Ply-
mouth and Plymouth
Township. He said the
county agreed to get in-
volved because the municipal-
ities were unable to obtain fed-
eral funding.
Brozena said the estimated
$5 million in damage did not
meet the $16 million threshold
for a presidential disaster dec-
laration.
The two bridges cross Coal
Creek, and the damaged road-
way is the upper section of Coal

up to $1 million on remedia-
tion, but Brominski said he
couldnt immediately verify the
cost.
The project should be com-
pleted in several weeks, Bro-
minski said.
County commissioners had
discussed the possibility of ac-
quiring the property in the
mid-2000s to create an addi-
tional 200-space parking lot,
but the idea fell through as
UGI studied the remediation
that would be required at the
site.
The county owns a strip of
parking spaces that runs most
of the length of Water Street in
addition to the Water Street
parkade.
However, commissioners had
envisioned the need for more
parking because the lot behind
the courthouse was supposed
to be folded into a courthouse
garden area, leaving only park-
ing for the disabled. That pro-
ject is in limbo due to funding.
UGI is open to discussions
with the city or county about
possible reuse of the land along
the Susquehanna River, Bro-
minski said.
The property may not be de-
veloped because its in a flood

Edwards tape case delayed
T
wo legal cases involving former
presidential candidate John Ed-
wards are beginning to seem like differ-
ent versions of the same play, with
overlapping plots, characters and ac-
tion but running simultaneously on
separate stages.
The increasingly convoluted drama
led a veteran judge on Friday to delay a
civil trial involving a sex tape purport-
edly featuring the former U.S. senator
until March 2012.
The trial had previously been sched-
uled to begin Oct. 10, the same month
that Edwards is due to go on trial on
charges of breaking campaign finance
laws. Prosecutors accuse him of using
political contributions to cover up the
affair thats also at the heart of the
lawsuit, though Edwards denies the
criminal charges.
BENGHAZI, LIBYA
Libya rebel leader killed
The Libyan rebels military com-

while in custody after he was arrested
by the oppositions leadership on suspi-
cion of treason, witnesses said Friday,
in a sign of disarray that posed a major
setback for the movement battling
Moammar Gadhafi.
The slaying of Abdel-Fattah Younis
raised fear and uncertainty in Bengha-
zi, the de facto rebel capital. At the
graveside, Younis son, Ashraf, broke
down, crying and screaming as they
lowered the body into the ground and
in a startling and risky display in a
city that was the first to shed Gadhafis
rule nearly six months ago pleaded
hysterically for the return of the Libyan
leader to bring stability.
Two weeks ago, 32 nations including
the U.S. made a major commitment by
formally recognizing the opposition as
the countrys legitimate government
a significant boost after many allies
hesitated in part because the rebels, a
mix of tribes and factions, were largely
an unknown quantity.

Priests to be tried together
A monsignor who is the only U.S.
church official ever charged with trans-

priests accused of rape, a judge ruled
Friday.
Common Pleas Judge Lillian Ran-
som denied most of the pretrial re-
quests made by Monsignor William
Lynn, two current priests, a former
priest and a former Catholic school-
teacher. The men wanted their cases to
be tried separately and asked for many
of the charges against them to be dis-
missed.
Lynn, 60, the lynchpin of the case, is
charged with conspiracy and child
endangerment for allegedly transfer-
ring priests he believed to be pedo-
philes. Lynn, who served as secretary
of clergy from1992 to 2004 under
former Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua, is
the only U.S. church official ever
charged in the sex-abuse scandal for his

MOGADISHU, Somalia African
Union and Somali forces traded barrag-

ishu on Friday, as AUforces gained new
territory. The countrys president ap-
pealed for more international aid, say-
ing the government cant feed all the
overwhelming number of Somalis suf-
fering from famine.
The African Union military force
fears that al-Shabab militants may try to
attack the camps that nowhouse tens of
thousands of famine refugees in the So-
mali capital, disrupting the distribution
of food aid. A new offensive to push the
militant front line farther back fromthe
camps began Thursday.
A battlefield commander, Col. Paul
Lokech, told The Associated Press on a
visit near the front line Friday that a Pa-
kistani fighter was commanding the al-
Shabab troops battling his forces near-
by, and that the militants were active.
Al-Shabab counts hundreds of foreign
fighters among its ranks. Speaking of
the Pakistani, Lokech said: Dont wor-
ry, Ill get him.
Mortar fire and guns rang out nearby,
as the militants put up more resistance
than the AU forces had expected.
Theyre worried about the ground
theyve lost, Lokech said.
The African Union and Somali troops
havebeenfightingaconcertedoffensive
against al-Shabab all year, and have
gained a large swath of new territory in
Mogadishu. But the fight took on a new
importance in recent days as tens of
thousands of famine refugees began
squatting in squalid, hunger-filled refu-
gee camps here.
President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed
said Friday that his government has cre-
ated several refugee camps, but that his
country needs urgent support because
it cant support the level of aid that is
needed. Ahmed also said the military
has weakenedal-Shabab, andthat soon
they will be defeated.
The government spokesman went
even further, saying the famine re-
sponse from aid agencies is too slow
and that the crisis is even more severe
than the U.N. has said. He noted that
diseases are spreading through the
camps, including measles.

WASHINGTON Thirty-six
years after Richard Nixon testi-

fromoffice, a federal judge onFri-
day ordered the secret transcript
made public.
But the 297 pages of testimony
wont be available immediately,
because the

gets time to de-
cide whether to

protect the privacy of people dis-
cussed during the ex-presidents
testimony who are still alive.
Nevertheless, U.S. District
Judge Royce Lamberth agreed
with historians who sued for re-
lease of the documents that the
historical significance outweighs
arguments for secrecy, because
the investigations are long over

president testified before a grand

ing the Monica Lewinsky investi-

ny could address ongoing debate
over Nixons knowledge of the
break-in at Democratic party
headquarters at the Watergate
complex andhis role inthe cover-
up.

man Charles Miller said Friday
that government attorneys were

WASHINGTON Lawmak-
ers trying to reach a deal on
spending cuts in order to raise
thenations debt ceilingriskcaus-
ing serious economic harm if
they cut government programs
toomuchinthenear term, econo-
mists warn.
The U.S. economy grew at an
anemic 1.3 percent rate from
April to June, the Commerce De-
partment reported Friday. It also
revised downward the growth
rate over the first three months of
2011 to just 0.4 percent.
Despite the weak growth, poli-
ticians arent arguing about stim-
ulating the economy; rather
theyre debating howquickly and
how much to
cut spending,
thus shavingec-
onomic growth
in the process.
The U.S.
Chamber of
Commerce
called on law-
makers Friday
to be mindful of
the weak econ-
omy.
The recov-
ery is clearly on
a lower trajec-
tory, and it will
likely be some
time before the
economy re-
bounds to the
point it will cre-
ate much in
terms of job
growth, Martin Regalia, the
groups chief economist, said in a
statement.
That means, he said, that the
stakes on the debt limit debate ...
are that much higher. With
growth rates this low, even a
small negative impact resulting
from failure to increase the debt
ceilinganddefaultingonour obli-
gations could turn the economy
back into a recession.
While Republicans in the
House of Representatives cap-
ture headlines by demanding
steep spending cuts, the version
proposed by Senate Democrats
actually would thwart economic
growth potentially more, accord-
ing to two economic research
groups.

Some House
Republicans
backed by tea
party groups
demand even
deeper front-
end cuts,
perhaps as
much as $100
billion, argu-
ing that poli-
ticians cant
be trusted to
keep their
promises
further out.
WASHINGTON If the gov-
ernment cant payall itsbillscome
Wednesday, odds are it will pay
bondholders. Social Security and
Medicare recipients will be high
on the must-pay list, too. Likely
losers: federal workers in jobs
deemed non-essential, private
contractors and state and local
governments.
It seems politically certain that
active-duty members of the mili-
tary would be paid, but there are
no guarantees as the government
decides which of its 80 million
monthly payments to make and
which to set aside.
Since the U.S. now borrows
slightly over 40 cents for every
dollar it spends, a failure by Con-
gress to increase the debt ceiling
above the $14.3 trillion limit sug-
gests the government could re-
nege on more than 40 percent of
its current obligations.
Just fivedays beforetheTreasu-
ry begins running out of cash to
pay all its bills, Congress re-
mained deadlocked over plans to
both raise the debt limit and trim
federal spending. President Ba-
rackObamawarnedanewthat the
creditstatusandfinancial credibil-
ityof theUnitedStatesstandinse-
vere jeopardy.
Thereareplentyof ways out of
thismess, but wearealmost out of
time, Obama said, noting the
Tuesday deadline.
Treasury, working with the
White House budget office, has
sketched out a priority plan for
payments. So far, officials have re-
fused to provide details, knowing
it could touch off a firestorm.
Theyre hoping for a compromise
soon so it wont be necessary. But
White House spokesman Jay Car-
ney said Treasury would release
some details on payment priori-
ties as the Aug. 2 deadline ap-
proached, perhaps over the week-
end.
There is wide agreement that
the government would take pains
to avoid an actual default on its
debt by puttinginterest payments
to bondholders at the top of the
payment priority list.
Most people in the bond mar-
ket feel the bonds will be paid off,
that they will get priority in pay-
ment, said David Wyss, former
chief economist at Standard &
Poors. This is not like when you
shut down the government. You
can still spend money up to the
amount of revenue youre bring-
ing in. You just cant borrow.
Of todays$14.3trillionnational
debt the accumulation of dec-
ades of deficit spending some
$9.7 trillion is financed through
the sale of Treasury bonds, bills
andnotestothepublic. Holdersof
these securities range from indi-
viduals to pensionfunds, corpora-
tions, and foreign governments.
The remaining $4.6 trillion in
debt represents intergovernmen-
tal holdings, money one govern-
mental entity owes to another, in-
cluding assets held in the Social
Security Trust Fund.

Most people in the bond market feel the bonds
will be paid off, that they will get priority in pay-
ment.
David Wyss
Former chief economist at Standard & Poors
would be in jeopardy if America
defaults Aug. 2 on its debt
obligations, and that Barletta
and other House Republicans
are refusing to compromise with
Senate Democrats and President
Obama in the standoff.
For his part, Barletta said
Thursday that he and many
other House Republicans have
already reached out in an at-
tempt to compromise.
Saying that calls to his office
from his Northeastern Penn-
sylvania constituents indicate
that Americans want the bick-
ering to stop in Washington,
Barletta said that while GOP
House Speaker John Boehners
plan is far from perfect, it ac-
commodates the priorities of
the people sitting on both sides
of the table, both sides of the
aisle and both sides of the Capi-
tol.
Meanwhile, Republican U.S.
Rep. Tom Marino of Lycoming
Township, who unlike Barletta
does not have an announced
opponent for 2012 yet, also
voted in favor of the Boehner
plan, after keeping his decision
to himself right up until the final
vote.
Marino said the measure
contains many of the provisions
that my constituents have been
pushing for while keeping Amer-
ica from defaulting on its debt.
Marino noted there are no tax
increases in the bill and he
praised the decision to include
the balanced budget in the
House bill.
The anti-Barletta ads on three
stations WBRE-TV, WOLF-TV
and WNEP-TV are being paid
for by the liberal group Amer-
icans United for Change and by
the American Federation of
State, County and Municipal
Employees, Service Employees
International Union, and the
National Education Association.
They are part of a string of
ads aimed at targeted GOP
lawmakers around the country.
Meanwhile, Democrat Wil-
liam Vinsko, a Wilkes-Barre
attorney who says he will run
against Barletta next year, re-
leased a statement saying that
the House Republicans radical
right-wing agenda is preventing
action, prolonging unnecessary
debate and hurting our people.
Being a Northeast Pennsylva-
nia congressman means putting
the people of Northeast Penn-
sylvania first and not following
extremist party lines, or wasting
time on legislation that has no
possibility of becoming law,
Vinsko said.
In response, Barletta spokes-
man Shawn Kelly said that,
Rep. Barletta spoke about civil-
ity and compromise on the
House floor on Thursday, hes
pointed out that the president is
the one who decides whether or
not Social Security checks and
other benefit checks get sent
out, and hes making the tough
decisions to get America back
on the right track.
The attacks came against a
backdrop of House Speaker John
Boehner failing Thursday to
corral enough votes from his
own GOP caucus to pass his
plan to raise the debt ceiling by
$900 billion, good for about six
months, in exchange for spend-
ing cuts of about $917 billion
over the next decade.
The revised Boehner plan
finally was put to a vote Friday
evening, passing 218-210.

WASHINGTON A consti-
tutional amendment requiring a
balanced federal budget is the
best way to force dawdling poli-
ticians to finally mop up the re-
cord red ink plaguing Washing-
ton. Or it is snake oil that would
let those same politicians pose
as serious deficit warriors while,
as always, leaving the real work
for later.
Either way, the proposal a
Washington staple for decades
that as usual faces long odds for
passagetookcenter stageFri-
day as a potent vote-getting de-
vice for conservatives. House
Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,
used it to swing GOP support
behindhis stalleddebt bill as the
House continued its epic clash
with President Barack Obama
and the Democratic-run Senate
over federal borrowing and
spending.
The idea is near-sacred dog-
ma for many of the Houses 87
GOP freshmen and the many
conservative, tea party-backed
Republican lawmakers. Balanc-
ing the budget was a corner-
stone of many of their congres-
sional campaigns last year, and
the push for a constitutional
amendment requiring balance
has become emblematic of their
legislative goal of shrinkinggov-
ernment.
You have to have something
that sets forth a structure that
requires us to be financially re-
sponsible, said Rep. Mo
Brooks, R-Ala., one of several
Republicans who pledged to
backBoehners bill onFriday be-
cause of the leaderships em-
brace of the amendment.
Many Democrats and outside
budget analysts say the amend-
ment would leave lawmakers
with the same painful decisions
theyusuallyavoidmakingtoday
whichprograms to cut or tax-
es to raise. They say it would
make it harder for the govern-
ment tohelpavoidrecessions by
pumping money into the econo-
my, which usually causes red
ink. And it leaves unanswered
how the balanced budget re-
quirement would be enforced
should a Congress and presi-
dent disagree on how to do it.
It is deeply flawed, Senate
Budget Committee Chairman
Kent Conrad, D-N.D., said Fri-
day.
Supporters also argue that
Washington should do no less
than the states, all but a handful
of which have balanced budget
requirements. Critics counter
that states face a far easier bur-
den, since they dont wage wars
or support the huge Social Secu-
rity or Medicare benefit pro-
grams, and can also rely on fed-
eral aid.
Many budget experts warn
that the nations fiscal problems
are too severe to await enact-
ment of a balanced budget
amendment.
Current versions of the
amendment would not take ef-
fect for at least six years, a provi-
siondesignedtogivelawmakers
time to adjust. But with todays
annual deficits exceeding$1tril-
lion and the huge baby boom
generation only beginning to re-
tire and swell the costs of Social
Security and Medicare, the gov-
ernments I.O.U.s demand ac-
tion now, they say.
Balanced budget a divisive issue

are pushing for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

must approve a balanced budget-
amendment to the Constitution
and send it to the states for rat-
ification. That marked a conces-
sion to tea party-backed conser-
vatives andothers intherankand
file who had thwarted House
Speaker John Boehners attempt
to pass the bill Thursday night.
Today we have a chance to
endthis debt limit crisis, Boehn-
er declared, his endgame strate-
gy upended by rebels within his
own party.
But thechanges hemadetothe
House GOPbill further alienated
Democrats. And they complicat-
ed prospects of a compromise
that could clear both houses and
win Obamas signature by next
Tuesdays deadline.
At the other endof the Capitol,
Senate Democrats rejected the
measurewithout somuchas ade-
bate. The vote was 59-41, with all
Democrats, two independents
andsixRepublicans joininginop-
position.
Moments later, Senate Major-
ity Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.,
unveiled an alternative that
would cut spending by $2.4 tril-
lion and raise the debt limit by
the same amount, enough to
meet Obamas terms that it tide
the Treasury over until 2013.
Reid invited Republicans to
suggest changes, saying, This is
likely our last chance to save this
nation from default.
The Senate GOP leader, Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky, accused
Democrats of rounding up no
votes to keep this crisis alive,
and noted the House had passed
two bills to raise the debt limit
and the Senate none.
The House, eager to return the
Senates favor rejecting the
Boehner bill, set a vote to reject
Reids proposal today. The Sen-
ate set a test vote for shortly after
midnight onSunday, a middle-of-
the-night roll call that under-
scored the limited time available
to lawmakers
At the same time Reid ap-
pealed for bipartisanship, he and
other party leaders accused
Boehner of caving in to extre-
mists in the GOP ranks the
last holdouts of the tea party,
Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois
called them.
Republicans conceded that the
overnight delay had weakened
Boehners hand in the endgame
with Obama and Senate Demo-
crats.
But the Ohio Republican drew
applause from his rank and file
when he said the House, alone,
had advanced legislation to cut
deficits, and that he had stuck
his neck out in recent weeks in
hopes of concluding a sweeping
deficit reduction deal with Oba-
ma.
Boehners measure would pro-
vide a quick $900 billion increase
in borrowing authority essen-
tial for the U.S. to keep paying all
its bills after next Tuesdayand
$917 billion in spending cuts. Af-
ter the bills latest alteration, any
future increases in the debt limit
would be contingent on Con-
gress approving the constitution-
al amendment and sending it to
the states for ratification.
With conservatives insisting
on the addition of a balanced-
budget amendment require-
ment, Speaker Boehners bill will
nowcut, capandbalance federal
spending, said Rep. Jeff Flake of
Arizona as Fridays scheduled
vote approached.
The White House called the
bill a non-starter. Press secretary
Jay Carney issued a statement
that calledit a political exercise
and said congressional leaders
shouldturntheir efforts toacom-
promise that Obama can sign by
Tuesday.
The developments occurred
one day after Boehner was forced
to postpone a vote in the House
for fear the earlier version of his
measure would suffer a defeat.
But by forcing a delay the conser-
vative rebels upended the leader-
ships strategy of making their
bill the only one that could clear
Congress before a default and
win Obamas reluctant signature.
Everybody acknowledges
that because of the dust-up yes-
terday weve lost some leverage,
said Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-
Ohio, an ally of the speaker.
Therebels saidtheyweremore
worried about stemming the na-
tions steady rise of red ink.

UNIVERSITY CITY, Mo.
Chuck Berry, the man called the
Father of Rock n Roll, blewkiss-
es at the crowd that joined him
Friday morning for the dedica-
tion of a statue in his honor in
the Delmar Loop section of sub-
urban St. Louis.
I dont knowhowto speak ... I
can sing a little a bit, Berry shy-
ly told his audi-
ence. Im go-
ing to say
thank you
again, thank
you, and I love
you all.
Berry, 84,
has been cele-
brated at the
Kennedy Center by President
Bill Clinton. His music was shot
into space as representative of
the best of our culture. But his
son Charles Edward Berry Jr.
said Fridays honor was the best
ever because its in St. Louis,
where Berry Sr. grew up and still
lives.
He has gotten a lot of awards
over the years but always the
most special ones are in St.
Louis, Berry Jr. said. Most of
my dads sisters and brothers,
and his children and grandchil-
dren are here, and my Mom,
thats the best.
The 8-foot statue by sculptor
Harry Weber is at 6555 Delmar
Boulevard, across Delmar from
Blueberry Hill, a club and restau-
rant where Berry still performs
monthly to sold-out crowds.
At the ceremony, Berry
thanked the crowd, estimated at
600, for enduring the heat to be
with him.
Believe me, its an honor just
to have you walk by in the hot
sun ... more or less stand and
honor (me), he said.
After he spoke, the crowd
broke into singing Johnny B.
Goode, a Berry signature song.
Blueberry Hill owner Joe Ed-
wards, who with KMOX Radios
Charlie Brennan helped raise
money for the statue, introduced
the man of the hour.
Edwards said:
Welcome to The Loop in St.
Louis, Missouri, in the United
States of America, in the Solar
System in the Milky Way Galaxy.
The reason I greet you that
way is that the man I am about
to introduce had his song, John-
ny B. Goode chosen to be put on
copper records aboard the Voy-
ager space probes, launched into
outer space in 1977 to reach out
to the universe with the best of
our culture.
Weber, the sculptor, later said:
Chuck Berry is a legend that
...will last as long as human be-
ings find music to be a necessary
part of their existence ... I am
truly grateful to have had this
chance&I hope I have done it
justice.
Taped tributes of congratula-
tions were played from Little Ri-
chard, Elvis Costello, Michael
McDonald, Merle Haggard and
Joe Perry of Aerosmith.
After the ceremony more than
100 people went into Blueberry
Hill for a reception. Berry signed
autographs with customary
modesty and with his wife, The-
metta Berry, at his side.
The new Ackert Plaza where
the statue is located features illu-
minated stainless-steel walls
with laser-engraved musical
notes. A blue-light LED system
in the interior of the walls will
illuminate the melody of John-
ny B. Goode.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Sheriff
Rosco P. Coltrane on "The
Dukes of Hazzard" also
known as character actor James
Best of Hickory, N.C. filed
suit this week seeking back pay-
ments from Time Warner for us-
ing his image on merchandise
ranging from Christmas orna-
ments to trash cans.
Best played the bumbling law-
man constantly in pursuit of
Luke and Bo Duke and their
Dodge Charger "General Lee"
on the popular comedy that ran
on CBS from 1979 to 1985.
Best, who turned 85 on Tues-
day, moved to Hickory about
five years ago and is still active
in show business.
In the lawsuit, filed here in
federal court against Time War-
ner and Warner Brothers Enter-
tainment, Best said under his
1978 contract, he is entitled to 5
percent of royalties for "Dukes
of Hazzard" merchandise that
bears Sheriff Coltranes likeness.
In the 32 years since the se-
ries first aired, Best has received
about $175,000 in royalties.
"Those payments are simply
not consistent with this volume
of merchandise sales over the
last three decades," Bests attor-
ney, Charles Oswald of Hickory,
said Friday.
In the suit, Best said Warner
Brothers consistently underesti-
mated the royalties, and he may
be due $5 million to $25 million
or more for the early years of
the show alone. In letters to
Best cited in the suit, Warner
said his share was significantly
less.
Scott Rowe, senior vice presi-
dent of communications for
Warner Brothers, said Friday
the studio would have no com-
ment. Best could not be reached
Friday.
"Dukes of Hazzard" was in-
volved in another high-profile
royalties case in 1982. Lead ac-
tors Tom Wopat and John
Schneider, playing the cousins
who weekly outwitted Hazzard
County political strongman Jef-
ferson Davis "Boss" Hogg, sued
the studio claiming they were
owed substantial sums for mer-
chandizing sales.
They sat out the fourth year
of the series the storyline
had Luke and Bo running off to
race for NASCAR. Two cousins
took their place. Ratings
plunged, the dispute was settled
and Wopat and Schneider re-
turned for the fifth season.
Best said in the suit that War-
ner ignored for 22 years his re-
quests for an accounting of the
merchandizing sales.
Fans of the program would re-
member Flash, a molasses-
paced basset hound who accom-
panied Sheriff Coltrane on pa-
trol.
Best rescued the dog from a
pound and brought it to the set
at the beginning of the third
season, suggesting the sheriff
needed a partner.
Producers didnt like the dog,
but she got a role anyway.
In the suit, Best said he holds
a 50 percent ownership interest
in the character and is due pay-
ment for her royalties, too.

OSLO, Norway Norway be-
gan burying the dead on Friday, a
week after an anti-Muslim extre-
mist killed 77 people in a bomb-
ing and shooting rampage.
Mourners of all ages vowed they
would not let the massacre
threaten their nations openness
and democracy.
An18-year-old Muslimgirl was
the first victim to be laid to rest
since the gunmanopenedfire at a
political youthcampandbombed
the government headquarters in
Oslo.
After a funeral service in the
Nesodden church outside the
capital, Bano Rashid, a Kurdish
immigrant from Iraq, was buried
in a Muslim rite. Sobbing youth
accompanied her coffin, which
was draped in a Kurdish flag.
The attack will not destroy
Norways commitment todemoc-
racy, tolerance and fighting rac-
ism, Labor Party youth-wing
leader Eskil Pedersen said at a
memorial service in Oslo.
Pedersen, who was on the is-
land retreat of Utoya when the
gunmans attack began, said:
Long before he stands before a
court we can say: he has lost.
Pedersen said the youth orga-
nization would return to Utoya
next year for its annual summer
gathering, a tradition that
stretches back decades.
Police raised the death toll to
77, from 76, and said all those
killedinthe July 22 terror attacks
in Oslo and on Utoya have now
been identified and those report-
ed missing have been accounted
for.
Norways Police Security Ser-
vice said the threat from right-
wing extremists remains un-
changed after Anders Behring
Breiviks attack. It said the 32-
year-oldNorwegians actions lack
parallels in Europe or elsewhere,
his views differ fromthe ideology
of most racist and neo-Nazi
groups, and very few people in
Norwayare capable of replicating
what he did.
Since the massacre, questions
have persisted about whether au-
thorities had underestimated ex-
tremist dangers in Norway.
At Fridays memorial service in
Oslo at the assembly hall of the
Peoples House, a community
center for Norways labor move-
ment, Prime Minister Jens Stol-
tenberg said: Today it is one
week since Norway was hit by
evil.
The bullets struck dozens of
members of the youth faction of
his Labor Party, but they were
aimed at the entire nation, Stol-
tenberg said, on a stage adorned
with red roses, the symbol of his
party.
I think July 22 will be a very
strong symbol of the Norwegian
peoples wish to be united in our
fight against violence, and will be
a symbol of how the nation can
answer with love, he told report-
ers after the ceremony.

KETCHIKAN, Alaska A
California taxidermist has
earned a rare place in pop
history.
Sergio Vigalato preserved
Lady Gagas now-famous
raw-meat dress for display in
the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame and Museum in Cleve-
land.
The project has prompted
a swarm of media interest in
the 66-year-old former
Southeast Alaska charter
boat skipper whos originally
from Brazil.
Vigalato operates Ameri-
can Taxidermy in Burbank,
Calif. Thats where he was
contacted by the museum
about preserving the dress
that Lady Gaga wore at the
September 2010 MTV Video
Music Awards.
Vigalato was unaware of
the dress or the artist when
reached two months after the
show. But he agreed to the
project anyway.
The ensemble, which Lady
Gaga said was a statement
about equality, arrived at his
shop frozen and decompos-
ing. He restored it over the
next three and a half months,
and the dress went on dis-
play in June.

The number of drunken driving ar-
rests in Luzerne County has decreased
substantially during the first seven
months in 2011 compared to the same
time last year, according to the state
police Uniform Crime Report.
Overall, police agencies in Luzerne
County made 445 DUI arrests fromJa-
nuary 1 through July 29, a significant
drop of nearly 31 percent from the 643
arrests in the first seven months in
2010.
While statistics show a decline, Dal-
las Township Police Chief Robert Jol-
ley said there are on average10 drivers
processedonevidenceof drunkendriv-
ing at the Luzerne County DUI Proc-
essing Center every Friday and Satur-
day night.
The DUI Processing Center is locat-
ed within Wilkes-Barre Police Head-
quarters and is open only on those two
nights.
Jolley, who coordinates the process-
ing center, said the recidivism rate of
DUI offenders, those who are arrested
for their sec-
ond or subse-
quent DUI of-
fense, is equal
to the state av-
erage.
The state av-
erage of repeat
DUI arrests
was 27.3 per-
cent in 2009,
according to
latest statistics
available by
the court re-
porting net-
work moni-
tored by the
Pennsylvania Department of Transpor-
tation.
In 2008, the DUI recidivismrate was
26.7 percent, and in 2007 the rate was
29.8 percent.
There are some that when you look
up their record, we find out we dealt
with them before, Jolley said. Well
learn theyve been processed through
the center or they were arrested in an-
other county. We do see people a sec-
ond and sometimes a third time.
In June, Jeffrey Scott Nenstiel, of
Mountain Top, was charged with his
ninth DUI offense after Hazleton po-
lice alleged he was intoxicated while
driving a vehicle, according to the
criminal complaint.
A review of Luzerne County court
records turnedupfivedrunken-driving
cases for Nenstiel, including two sep-
arate charges for driving with a sus-
pended license, since 1992.
A man in Pittsburgh is believed to
have accumulated 13 DUI arrests,
whichis thought tobe the most for one
person in Pennsylvania, according to
the PA DUI Association.
Four other people who have prior
DUI convictions have been charged on
a DUI offense in Luzerne County since
January, according to arrest records
and The Times Leader archives.
Most recently, Kingston police on
Wednesday charged Anthony Trotta,
of Nanticoke, with drunken-driving af-
ter he was spotted passing through a
redtraffic signal. Court records showit
was Trottas fourth DUI arrest within
18 months.
There is a bright side to the public
danger of drunken driving.
Were seeing more designated driv-
ers especially those of college-age,
Jolley said. Well do a portable breath
test on the driver and the readings will
come back with all zeroes. Thats what
we want to see.

WYOMING It was West
Wyomings turn Friday to
hold the annual memorial
for two police chiefs killed
in the line of duty in 1918,
but with a new building
named after one of the offi-
cers, the ceremony was
moved to Wyoming.
Approximately 100 people
gathered along Wyoming
Avenue for the dedication of
the Chief Edward Brennan
Public Safety Annex. The
two-story, 3,200-square foot
building was added on to the
boroughs existing garage
and replaced the old build-
ing from 1901 that housed
the municipal offices.
Brennans 98-year-old
niece, Florence Jumper of
Wyoming cut the ribbon for
the building and received a
flag from the U.S. Marines
who played taps and fired a
volley to honor the fallen of-
ficers.
Ill keep that. Thats real-
ly something to have, said
Jumper from her wheelchair.
She was 5 at the time her
uncle was killed and was
pleased to be able to attend
the dedication.
I know my mother would
be very happy to know that I
got here, she said. Her
mother and Brennan were
sister and brother.
Ninety-three years ago to
the day Brennan was gunned
down on First Street by the
same man who earlier shot
Chief Ralph Daley of West
Wyoming near West Eighth
Street and Shoemaker. Daley
responded to a report of a
disorderly group of men and
went there with the intent to
tell them to move on, said
Wyoming Mayor Robert
Boyer.
But, the mayor said, one
of the men reached for a
weapon and as Daley at-
tempted to defend himself,
was shot point blank and
died within minutes. Bren-
nan, who was off-duty and
unarmed, later confronted
the shooter and was shot
dead.
The gunman was appre-
hended by Pennsylvania
State Police officers, but he
was acquitted of the mur-
ders due to insufficient evi-
dence.
The annex named after
Brennan houses the police
department on the first floor
and a regional training cen-
ter for police, fire and emer-
gency medical service per-
sonnel on the second floor.
A grant from the local
share of gambling revenues
from the Mohegan Sun at
Pocono Downs casino in
Plains Township paid the
$600,000 construction cost.
Wyoming borough Trea-
surer Marcella Starr credit-
ed Boyer with doing the re-
search that secured the
grant money sought by mu-
nicipalities for various pub-
lic safety and economic de-
velopment projects.
Had he just asked for a
police station, this building
would not be here today,
she said.
Wyoming, West Wyoming honor fallen
Memory of a 1918 tragedy is
strong as Wyomings public
safety annex is dedicated.

HARRISBURG State Rep.
Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-
Barre, is circulating a new bill
proposing a tax on Marcellus
Shale natural gas extraction.
But unlike other severance
tax proposals, Pashinskis bill
does not dictate how revenue
from the tax would be divided.
It would immediately impose a
tax, but would place the tax rev-
enue in a lock-box until legisla-
tors can determine how to div-
vy it up.
Weve been arguing this sev-
erance tax issue for three
years, Pashinski said. So for
three years, not one dime has
gone intothe public coffers, and
the argument
both on the floor
and in committee
has been one leg-
islator using some
distribution as-
pect as a reason
not to vote for an extraction
tax.
For example, Pashinski said
representatives of communities
with active gas drilling oppose
bills that dont return enough
tax revenue their communities,
while environmentally-minded
legislators oppose bills that
dont devote enoughtoenviron-
mental protection.
You could never get enough
of a consensus in order to pass
the legislation, Pashinski said.
Therefore, my proposal is a
purely commonsense proposal.
It just sets a standard reasona-
ble extraction tax on the Mar-
cellus Shale gas industry and it
puts that money in a restricted,
interest-bearing account.
The bill, currently in draft
form, would impose a tax of 5
percent of the value of each
1,000 cubic feet to natural gas
extracted, plus 4.6 cents per
1,000 cubic feet. Those figures
are nearly identical to the rates
former Gov. Ed Rendell pro-
posed in early 2009 5 percent
plus 4.7 cents per 1,000 cubic
feet and which eventually
failed to pass the state legisla-
ture. Rendell later revisedthose
rates as a compromise with Re-
publican legislators, and the
state House inOctober passeda
39-cent tax onevery1,000 cubic
feet of gas extracted. But the
Senate allowed the 2010 legisla-
tive session to expire without
adopting a tax.
Pashinski said the Senate
failed to pass the tax largely be-
cause legislators couldnt agree
how to divide revenue.
Gov. Tom Corbett opposes a
tax on natural gas extraction
and has said previously he
would veto a gas-tax bill if
passed. The Governors Marcel-
lus ShaleAdvisoryCommission
in its report released last week
recommended the state assess
local impact fees against the gas
industry, but not a severance
tax.
I cant tell you what I think
the governor is going to do,
Pashinski said of Corbetts posi-
tion. However, I think in the
eyes of the people of Pennsylva-
nia, they thinkthe right thingto
do is levy a fair and reasonable
extraction tax like every other
state in the nation does.
State Sen. John Yudichak is
co-sponsoring a severance tax
bill in the state Senate, which
proposes an initial tax of 2 per-
cent onthe gross value of gas se-
vered at the well head, increas-
ing to 5 percent once the well
has beeninproductionfor three
years, and dropping back to 2
percent andthenzeroas a wells
production declines.

Writer says Toomey fails
to serve all constituents
O
ur U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, Pat
Toomey, made statements that the
debt ceiling is not a big deal. His sug-
gestion was the government could pay
Social Security and military payroll ap-
parently two of his favorites.
Really? Is that a responsible approach?
Has he been listening to the economic
forecast concerning the impact of default-
ing on our financial obligations? Do we
really want to do this?
I am getting tired of this simplistic and
fantasy-filled view of the world. This anti-
government rhetoric. What does he dis-
like? The FBI, the National Weather Ser-
vice, the Forest Service rangers who fight
wildfires, the National Institutes of Health,
retired federal employees who spent their
careers serving the public?
This is not a rational, adult approach.
This is someone who seemingly is serving
a narrow segment of our society. As a
retired public servant, I resent deeply his
remarks.
Gifford Pinchot, one of Northeastern
Pennsylvanias greatest public servants and
a lifelong Republican, championed the
interests of the common man (as he called
the everyday person in Pennsylvania)
against the evils of concentrated wealth.
It is a tragedy that ideologically driven
individuals such as Sen. Toomey are call-
ing the shots.
What about the rest of us? What about
those who go to work every day, or are not
financial magnates, corporate big shots or
international corporations? Union workers
are not the enemy. Public workers, school-
teachers and clean-air regulators are not
the enemy. We are Americans.
Sen. Toomey, you might have been elect-
ed by a narrow margin of those who voted.
You might think you need only to serve
your base.
I did not vote for you, but you represent
me now that you are my senator. Start
doing your homework and act like a grow-
nup.

Reader wants Mass
for shut-ins restored
D
espite financial problems in the Cathol-
ic Church, churches are open Saturday
and Sunday for people who can drive
and walk. Why take Catholic Mass off
regular television on weekends for shut-ins
and people in nursing homes?
It was slotted once on Saturday after-
noon and once on Sunday with each time
slot different. Taking it off completely just
isnt fair to people who have a dire need for
Mass service a precious 30 minutes of
deep prayer, time with their Creator.
Im sure Catholics would donate to any
church that would sponsor Mass for shut-
ins.

THE LUZERNE County
Henhouse er, Courthouse
already was abuzz with the
usual cackle of clucking and
strutting when Chicken
Little shouted the startling
alarm:
The Sterling is falling! The Sterling is
falling!
Slow down, Little fellow, Leary Taxpayer
said. Didnt you just tell us the outside of the
building was relatively stable?
We have to raze it! Chicken Little replied.
It could collapse this winter!
How can that be? Leary asked. Weve
given you more than $6 million to save the
place.
No time to explain, Little bellowed. The
Sterling is falling! The Sterling is falling!
Forgive my cynicism, but its hard to read a
recent letter from the Luzerne County com-
missioners regarding the former Sterling
Hotel in downtown Wilkes-Barre without
recalling the cautionary tale about the little
fowl with the big claim.
We all agree that this is an urgent matter,
the commissioners wrote to Wilkes-Barre
Mayor Tom Leighton. Studies indicate that
there could be a potential collapse should the
building endure another winter without sub-
stantial stabilization.
Nearly 10 years and more than $6 million
trying to save the landmark, and now its
ready to crumble under the weight of the
next blizzard? If this isnt a fairy tale, it
should be.
Quick, find a little Dutch boy to plug his
finger into just the right crack in the wall.
Maybe he can get us through to spring.
Make no mistake, the report issued March
31 by the building owner, CityVest, was dire.
Vacant, stripped of every item that con-
tributed to a memorable experience, the
remaining shell is cold, damp and lifeless.
Stabilization and construction will be a peril-
ous undertaking Existing timber-framed
roof has rotted beyond repair Complete
demolition of the interior floor systems and
structure for health and safety reasons seems
to be evident.
The report made a persuasive case for
demolition. But much of this damage appar-
ently is the result of failure to seal the build-
ing when CityVest first took ownership. The
report offers extensive detail on recurring
roof problems.
You dont need to be a rocket scientist, or
even a homeowner, to know a leaking roof
assures deterioration of everything under it.
The question is this: Why did CityVest let the
roof go?
The March report made it sound as though
nonprofit CityVest realized it had limited
resources and decided to roll the dice. It
spent minimal money on the roof and poured
most of the funds into other site-preparation,
hoping the roof would hold up until a devel-
oper was found.
The gamble failed, along with the roof, and
the groups efforts to save the Sterling actual-
ly assured its demise.
Its not the idea that the Sterling has dete-
riorated to the point of no return thats hard
to swallow; its the urgency. We were willing
to spend years trying to preserve it and sud-
denly have only months to destroy it?
Sounds like a scene from The Marx Broth-
ers A Night in Casablanca. Groucho takes
over as new hotel manager and tells the staff:
Well, weve got to speed things up. If a guest
orders a three-minute egg, give it to him in
two minutes. If he orders a two-minute egg,
give it to him in one minute. And if he orders
a one-minute egg, let him work it out for
himself.
Which brings up another apropos caution-
ary childrens tale

OST AMERICANS
take well-stocked
grocery stores and
supermarkets for
granted. Because accessibility
to good and nutritious food is
considered an essential part of
American society, such stores
are at the heart of most commu-
nities.
Still, nearly 24 million Amer-
icans live in food deserts, low-
incomeareas wherepeoplehave
to travel more than a mile to the
nearest full-service grocery.
Food deserts can have an ad-
verse effect onthe healthof chil-
dren and young people. Al-
though Americans are generally
overweight, communities
whereaccess tofreshfood, vege-
tables and fruit is problematic
have higher-than-average obesi-
ty rates. An estimated 6.5 mil-
lionchildrenliveinfooddeserts.
Thats why providing incen-
tives for grocery stores and su-
permarkets to locate in under-
served communities has be-
come an essential element of
first lady Michelle Obamas
healthy foods/anti-obesity ini-
tiative.
In a cere-
mony at the
White House
last week, the
first lady an-
nounced that
as a result of a
public-private
partnership,
Wal-Mart, Walgreen and Super-
valu will expand into urban and
rural areas consideredtobefood
deserts. Together, the retailers
plan to open 1,500 stores that
will provide not only thousands
of jobs, but also healthier food
options for 9.5 million people.
Obama made the case for fed-
eral loans, grants andtaxcredits
that encourage the construction
of such stores and she applaud-
ed the Shop N Save in Am-
bridge for quadrupling the size
of its produce section in two
years. The store benefited from
a 2009 state grant that was a
small part of the $120 million
Pennsylvania Fresh Food Fi-
nancing Initiative that funded
88 similar projects across the
state.

F
EDERAL legislation
following Wall Streets
collapse created a new
consumer protection
agency, but banking and invest-
ment interests seem deter-
mined to keep the watchdog
from even taking a walk.
The Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau is being
thwarted by efforts to reduce
its effectiveness.
First, opponents
blocked Harvard law
professor Elizabeth
Warren, whose ideas
birthed the agency,
from being appoint-
ed its director. Now,
CFPB foes, including
U.S. Sen. Pat Too-
mey, R-Zionsville, are trying to
prevent the appointment of her
top lieutenant, Richard Cor-
dray, to the head post unless
theagencyis further weakened.
Some of the same invest-
ment interests that sold the ex-
otic financial instruments that
paved the way to a consumer-
credit crisis dont want the
CFPBto have broad powers, in-
cluding supervising lenders,
simplifying mortgage docu-
ments and probing credit-card
agreements for hidden fees.
In a mostly party-line vote,
the Republican-controlled
House passed a bill last week
makingit easier tooverturnthe
mortgage, credit-card and oth-
er regulations aimedat protect-
ing consumers.
For good measure, they
threw another layer of bureau-
cracy on top of the CFPB,
which already is required by
law to report to Congress and
the federal Financial Stability
Oversight Council.
It is disappointing that
among those vot-
ing to muzzle the
new consumer
watchdog were
Republican House
members Jim Ger-
lach, Pat Meehan,
and Mike Fitzpa-
trick of Pennsylva-
nia.
All but Smith have received
more campaign money from
lending-industry groups than
they have from the consumer,
labor and civil-rights groups
that want the CFPB to be a ro-
bust advocate, according to an
analysis by the nonpartisan
MAPLight.org.
But it wont be very long be-
fore the area House members
will be hitting the campaign
trail seeking re-election. They
will have to explain to voters
why they are trying to leash an
agency that protects consum-
ers.

month after being charged with James
and Keilers deaths, Selenski escaped
from the Luzerne County prison and
was later found not guilty of their
deaths, but guilty of abuse of corpse in
March 2006.
Two months later, Selenski was
charged with Kerkowski and Fassetts
deaths. Police say the two were origi-
nally killed in May 2002. A co-defend-
ant, Paul Weakley, pleaded guilty to
related charges and is serving a life
sentence.
Amesbury said in Fridays court fil-
ing that since being assigned the case,
he and his court staff began extensive
review and discussion of everything
pertaining to the case, and that in the
process of that review came across the
name of the witness.
Amesbury said the member of his
staff, whom he did not identify, also
knows members of the witnesss family.
More troublesome is the fact that
the credibility of that particular wit-
ness appears crucial to both the issue
of guilt, and a pending evidentiary rul-
ing, Amesbury wrote. To avoid even
the appearance of bias in my office and
to preclude the creation of a potential
subsequent appellate issue, I will re-
cuse myself.
Amesbury ordered the Luzerne
County Court Administration office to
reassign Selenskis case to another
judge.
President Judge Thomas Burke
could not be reached for comment Fri-
day, nor could Amesbury.
Attorneys in the case are prohibited
from commenting due to a long-stand-
ing court-imposed gag order.
Former Judge Peter Paul Olszewski
Jr. initially assigned himself the case
on July 13, 2006, shortly after he presi-
ded over a trial earlier that year in
which a jury acquitted Selenski, 37, in
the killings of two men.
After public requests by the families
of Fassett and Kerkowski, and a pet-
ition filed by then-District Attorney Da-
vid Lupas, Olszewski recused himself
from Selenskis case on Aug. 9, 2006.
The case was reassigned to Judge
Chester Muroski.
Muroski presided over pre-trial mat-
ters for more than three years. Days
before he became a senior judge, Mu-
roski transferred the case on Dec 29,
2009, to visiting Senior Judge Joseph
Rehkamp.
After Rehkamp was charged in a do-
mestic violence dispute in January
2010 and later served six months in the
countys Accelerated Rehabilitative
Disposition program, the court admin-
istration office assigned the Selenski
case to Amesbury on Jan. 27, 2010,
three weeks after he took the oath of
office as a county judge.
Amesbury had the Selenski case for
two months before Burke reassigned it
to Muroski on March 11, 2010.
Selenski is scheduled to appear in
Luzerne County Court on Aug. 31, af-
ter he requested he be permitted to
represent himself in the case.
It was unknown Friday if Amesburys
filing affects whether the Aug. 31 hear-
ing will occur.

to significantly share the cost.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leight-
on, who could not immediately
be reached for comment Friday,
has said he is trying to come up
with funding.
County Controller Walter Grif-
fith said he contacted the insurer
Salisbury, Md.-based Tri-State
General Insurance to find out
the reason for the cancellation,
which takes effect at 12:01 a.m.
on Sept. 27.
The cancellation notice says
the building does not fit the
company guidelines even for a
vacant building.
Griffith said a Tri-State repre-
sentative told him the company
recently performed its own in-
spection of the property.
They determined it is not in-
surable based on the condition of
the structure. The windows are
open. There are holes in the
roof, he said.
The controller reiterated his
call for Wilkes-Barre to complete
a safety inspection of the proper-
ty.
The insurance company is
nowsaying the building is not in-
surable. With all these alarms go-
ing off, why would the city and
code enforcement not go in?
Griffith said.
City operations director Butch
Frati has said the city will inspect
the structure if its requested to
do so by the county or CityVest.
The city does not typically initi-
ate inspections on its own unless
there are exterior signs of poten-
tial collapse or other safety haz-
ards, which is not the case with
the Sterling, he has said.
County officials said the city
doesnt need a request and
should inspect the property if
there are indications of a prob-
lem.
Griffith questioned whether
the city is hesitant because the
city would have to cover the cost
of demolition if the building is
deemed a public safety hazard.
Property owners are liable for
the cost, but CityVest is essen-
tially broke, Griffith said. The
city could attempt to recoup its
money if the parcel is eventually
sold to a developer, but the coun-
ty also will be in line to try to get
back at least some of its $6 mil-
lion.
CityVests report said the Ster-
lings roof has rotted beyond re-
pair, causing water to enter the
building in significant vol-
umes. A major snow load, high
wind storm or movement of ma-
keshift support bracing could re-
sult in a catastrophic failure of
the building or integrity of the
exterior facade, the report said,
noting that contractors and engi-
neers have expressed concerns
about the safety of anyone enter-
ing the buildings upper floors.
Commissioners noted the ur-
gency of the situation in a recent
letter to Leighton requesting
demolition assistance, saying
that studies indicate a collapse is
possible if the building goes
through another winter without
substantial stabilization.

will be provided by an anony-
mous donor, he said.
This was definitely a suc-
cess, he said. We will be incor-
porating this into next years
event.
Preliminary totals reached
66,123 pounds of food, compared
to last years total of 47,000.
There are still some donations
uncounted, and he said some
companies will be dropping off
more collections next week,
when organizers hope to hit the
50-ton mark.
GUARD Insurance Group
maintainedits leadfromlast year
with a total of 23,414 pounds of
food collected. Sallie Mae was a
close second with 22,103 pounds
of food.
It was a very tight race, he
said.
Monetary donations were also
accepted. Winslow explained
one dollar was counted as two
pounds of food.
Wood palettes and a forklift ea-
gerly waited the next truck load
of donations. Inside the ware-
house, big, boxes, about the size
of a box from a large appliance,
were full of cans, jars, and boxes
of noodles, cereal, and other
items.
One large box sitting next to
an industrial scale contained 27
pounds of cereal from an earlier
drop-off by Sallie Mae.
All this food will be kept in Lu-
zerne County and distributed to
25 Emergency Food Networks,
including food pantries, shelters,
and kitchens, such as Domestic
Violence, and Ruths Place, said
Rick Kutz, director of the H. J.
Weinberg Northeast Regional
Food Bank, part of the Commis-
siononEconomic Opportunities.
The groceries will last these fa-
cilities about two or three
months, he said.
This is the second largest
food drive for us, Kutz said.
The first is held by the letter car-
riers.
He added the need for grocery
items increases over the summer
months. There is a higher de-
mand on the food pantries be-
cause children are home from
school.
We are starting to see many
senior citizens, Kutz said. They
are concerned about what is hap-
pening in Washington and are
looking to see what services are
available.
The rising cost of food did not
deter the donations. Making his
second delivery, Dave Riley, facil-
ity supervisor from Sallie Mae in
Hanover Township, said his com-
pany offered many incentives for
employees to make a food or
monetary donation.
They offered employees, busi-
ness causal days, gift baskets and
much more, he said.
It just goes to show we have
some very generous companies,
Winslow said.

WILKES-BARRE An Ashley
woman has filed a lawsuit in Lu-
zerne County Court against the
Wyoming Valley Childrens As-
sociation and a local transporta-
tion company, alleging a van
driver caused an accident that
resulted in the womans autistic
son being injured.
Jo A. Graf, through her attor-
ney, Matthew Comerford, filed
the lawsuit Wednesday against
the association as well as T&M
Transit Inc., of Plymouth, and
van driver Anita Wanyo of Dal-
las. Graf is seeking more than
$200,000 in damages.
Graf alleges in the suit that
Wanyo was talking on a cell
phone while driving a van with
Grafs young son as a passenger,
failed to stop at a stop sign and
slammed into the rear of an-
other vehicle in November.
The suit also says that after
the crashWanyo reachedaround
and grabbed the childs face,
slamming his head back and
causing him to suffer a concus-
sion.
Graf alleges Wanyo had to
grab the boy because he was not
fastened properly into his car
seat, and that Wanyo left the
scene after emergency person-
nel arrived, leaving the child
alone in an ambulance.
Because of her sons autism,
Graf said, his life requires struc-
ture and familiarity and Wanyo
failed to provide that by leaving
the scene.
The suit says the boy sus-
tained serious and permanent
mental and physical injuries
and that Wanyos use of a cell
phone while driving was ex-
treme and outrageous.
The suit seeks damages for
negligence, negligent retention,
intentional infliction of emo-
tional distress and battery.
The boy will suffer for an in-
definite period of time physical,
emotional and mental pain and
is suffering a loss of enjoyment
of life and severe development
setbacks the suit says.
The suit alleges Wanyo previ-
ously failed to properly restrain
the child in a car seat and with a
seat belt, and that Graf had to in-
struct Wanyoonnumerous occa-
sions about how to properly do
so.
Graf says in the suit that she
has had to pay various sums of
money for medicine and medi-
cal attention for her son due to
the accident, and that Wanyo
was reckless in shoving the
child.
Philip Gelso, an attorney for
the Wyoming Valley Childrens
Association, said Friday he had
not yet seen the lawsuit and can-
not comment on it.
Wanyo could not be reached
for comment Friday.

WILKES-BARRE A Shick-
shinny manwhoprosecutors say
deceived a foster child into hav-
ing sex with him for two years,
telling the girl the Mafia was
watching his family, was sen-
tenced Thursday to 14 to 44
months in state prison.
Luzerne County Senior Judge
Joseph Augello sentenced Mark
David Brown, 42, of West Butler
Street, on a charge of contact/
communication with a minor in-
volving sexual offenses.
Brown, who pleaded no con-
test in March, will have to regis-
ter his address under Megans
Law for his entire life, Augello
said. The judge ordered him to
have no contact with the girl or
any other minor.
Police charged Brown in May
2010 with sexually assaulting
the then-teen from 2004-06.
The womanrecentlycame for-
ward with allegations that
Brown, as her foster father when
she was a child, scaredher witha
story that the Mafia was watch-
ing his family and had given him
certain instructions. She said
one of the instructions included
Brown having sex with her, ac-
cording to the criminal com-
plaint.
The charges were filed May 4
after several people, who were
then teen girls, separately re-
ported the same claim by the
woman that Brown gave them
marijuana and alcohol.
Accordingtocourt papers, the
woman said she was placed with
Brown and his wife as a foster
childwhenshe was 8years oldin
1999.
She described her childhood
as normal until she turned 14,
when Brown began acting more
as a friend than a foster parent.
She said Brown took her out of
school when she became a fresh-
man in high school and made
her and other teen girls work for
him selling newspaper subscrip-
tions in the Shickshinny area.
After selling subscriptions,
she alleged, Brown provided her
and other girls with marijuana
and alcohol. He made up a story,
telling the girls the Mafia was
watchinghimandhadgivenhim
certain instructions to follow,
and if he didnt follow them the
Mafia would kill his family, the
criminal complaint says.
State police said the alleged
Mafia instruction was to have
Brown get the girl to perform
lewd sexual acts on him.

HERES
THE EASY
part. DeSean
Jackson has
been underpaid
and deserves a
substantial
raise before he
plays another NFL game. Every-
one from Jackson to agent Drew
Rosenhaus to Andy Reid to Joe
Banner would agree on that
point.
The not-so-easy part is figuring
out just howsubstantial that raise
should be. Jackson is tough to
place a value on, because he
doesnt compare easily to other
wide receivers. His unique skill
set, the way he contributes be-
yond what his statistics show, his
small stature and his history of
concussions
createacompli-
cated formula.
Jackson did
not report with
his Eagles
teammates to
Lehigh on
Thursday
morning. That
was both understandable and re-
grettable. Understandable be-
cause Jackson has been frustrat-
ed by his contract for a long time
andwants toforce that issue onto
the Eagles front burner, regretta-
blebecausetheendof thelockout
has createdunprecedentedchaos
for teams trying to get their ros-
ters together. A little bit of good
will on Jacksons part would go a
long way here.
The Eagles got one piece of
pressing business taken care of
Thursday. They finally complet-
edthe long-awaitedtrade of quar-
terback Kevin Kolb to Arizona.
Kolb, who made about 25 times
as much money as Jackson last
year, received yet another large
chunk of guaranteed money in a
five-year deal with the Cardinals.
Its a sound trade for the Ea-
gles. They fill a gaping hole in
their defense with cornerback
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
and get a second-round draft
choice as well. The Kolbera, such
as it was, comes to an end with
the same shrug that defined his
time with the Eagles.
The next steps are infinitely
more important and interesting.
The Eagles need a few more key
pieces on their defense: a line-
backer (or two) and a veteran
safety, at least. They need to get
this whole circus under the big
top and see how it looks before
the season begins.
Oh, and they have to deal with
contracts for Jackson and quar-
terback Michael Vick. Those two
items may be intertwined. The
Vick deal will be larger and will
have a lasting impact on the sala-
ry cap. The Jackson deal is going
to be tougher, and not just be-
cause the player and his agent
have decided to force the issue.
The first rule in NFLdeals is to
pay for future performance, not
past achievement. The Eagles
have made unpopular choices
withveterans (canyousay "Brian
Dawkins?) because they adhere
tothis ruleas best theycan. Their
philosophy has been to identify
young players on their way up
and lock them in to long-term
deals.
Nobody fit that profile better
than Jackson. He would have got-
ten his second contract by now if
his career arc hadnt collided

BUFFALO, N.Y. Control is

In perhaps one of the most mys-

He walked

But the Bisons
didnt record any

after he was re-
placed. The Herd rallied for five
runs after Eric Wordekemper en-
teredthe game andwent ontowin
8-5.
The loss snapped the Yankees
season-best six-game winning
streak and put a slight dent into

On Friday, Nnamdi Aso-

One day after acquiring Pro

Very quietly, while other

BUL L E T I N BOARD
Vlos has seemed to regain his form of 2010 for trainer Eric Mollor.
The seven-year old son of Dragon Again has really looked super in his
last two starts, both victories. Hes been able to work out golden trips
inthose efforts, thanks tohis blazinggate speedandwonrather easily
as well. Awinner of almost $400,000 lifetime, Vlos has really seemed
to pair up well with driver Joe Pavia Jr., who has driven him to most
recent wins. You add all of this together and I see nothing in this race
that keeps this hot pacer from make it three straight triumphs to-
night.

PHILADELPHIA The
Philadelphia Phillies have
acquired All-Star right fielder
Hunter Pence from the Hous-
ton Astros, shoring up their
lineup for the stretch run.
The Phillies got Pence and
cash from Houston on Friday
for three minor leaguers and a
player to be named later in the
middle of Philadelphias 10-3
win against Pittsburgh on
Friday.
The 28-year-old Pence began
the day with a .309 batting
average, 11 homers and 62
RBIs.
Houston nabbed two of
Philadelphias top prospects in
first baseman Jonathan Single-
ton and right-hander Jarred
Cosart. But the Phillies man-
aged to hold onto talented
outfielder Domonic Brown.
The 19-year-old Singleton
was batting .282 with nine
homers and 47 RBIs for
Class-A Clearwater. He was
selected by the Phillies in the
eighth round of the 2009 draft.
The 21-year-old Cosart was
9-8 with a 3.92 ERA in 20
games, 19 starts, for Clear-
water.
In Fridays game, Chase
Utley fell a double shy of the
cycle and Roy Halladay tossed
one-hit ball over seven shutout
innings to trounce the Pirates.
Halladay (13-4) struck out five
and walked none in the sticky
heat.
The arrival of Pence, a two-
time All-Star, means right
fielder Domonic Brown, still
considered a blossoming future
star, will hit the bench.
Mets 8, Nationals 5
WASHINGTON Jose
Reyes drove in two runs, and
the New York Mets made
Chien-Ming Wangs return to
the big leagues a short one
with a win over the Nationals.
Ronny Paulino finished with
three hits, and David Wright
and Jason Bay each had two en
route to the Mets fifth straight
win. It was New Yorks major-
league leading 33rd road win.
Wang (0-1) couldnt help the
Nationals in his first major
league appearance two years to
the day after he had shoulder
surgery. The right-hander gave
up six runs on eight hits in four
innings.
Braves 5, Marlins 0
ATLANTA Dan Uggla hit
a tiebreaking three-run homer
in the seventh inning, Brandon
Beachy combined with two
relievers on a three-hitter and
the Atlanta Braves beat Florida
5-0 on Friday night to end the
Marlins five-game winning
streak.
Uggla extended his hitting
streak to 20 games and leads
Atlanta with 19 homers. He
entered July with a .176 batting
average but is up to .206 after
going 1-for-4 against Florida.
Emilio Bonifacios 26-game
hitting streak, the second-
longest in Marlins history,
came to an end.
Brewers 4, Astros 0
MILWAUKEE Hunter
Pence was traded midway
through the game, and Randy
Wolf pitched seven scoreless
innings against a punchless
Houston lineup, giving the
Milwaukee Brewers a 4-0 victo-
ry Friday night for their fourth
consecutive victory.
Pence was removed in the
fifth inning of a scoreless game,
traded to the Philadelphia
Phillies for three minor-leagu-
ers and a player to be named.
Reds 4, Giants 3
CINCINNATI Edgar
Renteria singled in the bottom
of the 13th inning to give the
Cincinnati Reds a 4-3 win over
the San Francisco Giants on
Friday night.
Cardinals 9, Cubs 2
ST. LOUIS Albert Pujols
got his 2,000th hit and Edwin
Jackson pitched seven innings
in his debut with St. Louis,
lifting the Cardinals to a 9-2
win Friday over the Chicago
Cubs.

CHICAGO Gavin Floyd
outpitched Tim Wakefield, A.J.
Pierzynski hit a tiebreaking
two-run homer in the seventh,
and the Chicago White Sox
beat the Boston Red Sox 3-1 on
Friday night.
Chicagos seventh straight
victory over Boston and 14th in
the last 16 games between the
teams denied the 44-year-old
knuckleballing Wakefield his
200th career win.
Floyd (9-9) won his third
straight start. He gave up a run
and three hits in seven innings,
including a homer to Jarrod
Saltalamacchia, and ran his
career record against the Red
Sox to 6-0.
Wakefield (6-4) also allowed
three hits in seven innings.
Tigers 12, Angels 2
DETROIT Carlos Guil-
lens two-run triple highlighted
a four-run sixth inning and the
Detroit Tigers went on to beat
the Los Angeles Angels 12-2 on
Friday night.
Guillen and Victor Martinez
finished with four RBIs, while
Ramon Santiago added three
hits.
Rick Porcello (11-6) allowed
two runs and five hits in eight
innings, striking out six.
Tyler Chatwood (6-7) gave
up six runs on eight hits and
two walks in 5
1
3 innings. The
Angels had won three straight
and five of seven.
With one out in the sixth,
Martinez gave the Tigers a 3-2
lead with an RBI single, and
Guillen followed with his first
triple since July 9, 2010. Alex
Avila drove in Guillen with a
base hit, ending Chatwoods
night and putting Detroit up
6-2.
Martinez and Guillen added
RBI doubles in the seventh to
give the Tigers a six-run lead.
The pair both then drove in
runs for the third straight in-
ning in Detroits three-run
eighth.
Royals 12, Indians 0
CLEVELAND Jeff Francis
pitched eight sharp innings,
Melky Cabrera hit a grand slam
and the Kansas City Royals
pounded the Cleveland Indians
12-0 on Friday night in a game
that turned testy in the fourth
inning.
Billy Butler went deep twice
and Alex Gordon also connect-
ed for Kansas City, which has
won seven of 10.
Butler hit a two-run shot in
the first and a solo drive in the
eighth, giving him five long
balls in a four-game homer
streak.
Butler came to the plate
right after Cabreras grand
slam in the fourth, and Cleve-
land starter Carlos Carrasco
promptly threw one at his head
on the first pitch.
Players from both dugouts
and bullpens came on the field,
and Carrasco was ejected.
Blue Jays 3, Rangers 2
TORONTO J.P. Arencibia
hit a three-run homer, Brett
Cecil beat All-Star Alexi Ogan-
do for the second straight start
and the Toronto Blue Jays
edged the Texas Rangers 3-2
on Friday night.
Nelson Cruz and Mike Napo-
li homered for the Rangers,
who lost for the third time in
four games. But Cruz left in
the fifth inning with tightness
in his left quadriceps muscle.

STANDINGS/STATS
SAN FRANCISCO For
years, the San Francisco Giants
regular seagulls cooperated so
nicely: They flocked to AT&T
Park after the final out to scav-
enge for treats like leftover pop-
corn, pizza or garlic fries.
Those gulls have become more
pesky and plentiful of late, creat-
ing a problem for fans during
games on occasion this season.
So, now, the Giants are consider-
ing bringing in a resident falcon
tohelpfendoff the birds andkeep
them at bay out where they be-
long above the bay.
The gulls are more like your
guests. They see a food source
and opportunity. Theyre tran-
sient. Theres a window of time
theyre around: they see it, they
hear it, they smell it, said Jorge
Costa, the Giants longtime se-
nior vice president of ballpark op-
erations. Most of the time
theyre uponthe roof of the build-
ing, on the glove (in left field), on
the light towers. When people
leave, they come down.
Whiletheissuewont besolved
by the time the defending World
Series champions return for a 10-
game homestand starting Mon-
day, the Giants are working on it.
Bringing in a falcon to nest
around the ballpark is an expen-
sive endeavor, which might take
until next year. Unless the prob-
lem persists and requires imme-
diate attention.
Costa declined to say how
much it might cost. Other ball-
parks near the water have faced
similar situations with seagulls.
They even turn up across San
Francisco Bay at the Oakland
Coliseumafter the Athletics play.
This is right up there with the
strangest things Costa has dealt
with and studied in his 23 years
with the Giants and 40 years in
the stadium business along
with such serious issues as ter-
rorist threats in the wake of Sept.
11 and the effects of weather and
how grass grows and reacts.
While the Giants have found
humane ways to keep pigeons
fromroosting in their 12-year-old
ballpark, the hovering gulls that
come in fromMcCovey Cove and
elsewhere are different. Their
postgame snacking has long
played a part in aiding San Fran-
ciscos extensive cleanup process
in the stands after each game.
But the 2011crop appears to be
growingimpatient. Andfans who
pay lots of money for tickets and
concessions dont like to be
bugged by the unfriendly visitors
in the middle of a ballgame.
Studying bird behavior and
various populations has become
a part of Costas job description.
This year were seeing larger
numbers of the seagulls, and
sometimes theyve not been sta-
tionary, Costa said. There have
been a couple of games this year
when theyve started swirling
around while the games still go-
ing on. Its not pleasant if theyre
dropping things and theyre sit-
ting there (with fans).
With the help of Wingmaster
Falconry Inc., which states that it
works to provide our clients
with the most effective, natural,
humane methods available for
pest bird abatement, the Giants
are exploring their options re-
garding the falcons.
If all goes as planned, the gulls
get to the point where they can
sense when the falcons are in the
area and stay away.
Birds of prey have often been
part of the big league scene.
The Minnesota Twins Target
Field attracted a male American
Kestrel last year. He became a fan
favorite and even generated a
Twitter account with the user-
name TargetFieldHawk and was
named Kirby the Kestrel.
In other baseball bird news,
People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals said Thursday it was
sending a thank-you note to Gi-
ants outfielder Cody Ross for be-
inga fine friendtothe feathered.
A press release from PETA
subject line: Goose Abuse
Makes Major League Champ Co-
dy Ross Gag said that when
Ross learned that foie gras is
made by shoving tubes down the
throats of ducks and geese, often
causing serious injuries, and
force-feeding the birds until their
livers become painfully en-
gorged, he decided to change
ducks luck and dump foie gras.
Giants, gulls not getting along
San Francisco is exploring
creative ways to stop the
birds from bothering fans.

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland
Germanys Caroline Masson
shot a 7-under 65 Friday totake a
surprising one-stroke lead after
thesecondroundof theWomens
British Open.
Playing in the last group of the
day, the 22-year-old Masson had
seven birdies without a bogey on
the Carnoustie Golf Links to
move to11-under 133, one stroke
ahead of South Koreas Inbee
Park and Meena Lee.
Masson, competing in only
her second season on the Eu-
ropeanTour, hadfour birdies ina
front-nine 32.
Ive just had two great days
out there and Im very happy to
be playing so well, Massonsaid.
Ive played really solid, hit the
fairways, hit the greens and
made some putts. Its been awe-
some.
Park had nine birdies and a bo-
gey in a 64, while Lee, who start-
edthe secondroundof the major
with a two-stroke lead, closed
with two birdies in a 69.
It was a very solid day, Park
said. I putted pretty good out
there and hit it really good, so
Im looking forward to the next
two days.
Three players were at 8 under:
Dewi-Claire Schreefel of the
Netherlands, who had a 66 on
Friday, and South Koreans Se Ri
Pak, the 2001championwho had
a 64, and Na Yeon Choi, who had
a 67.
Defending champion Yani
Tseng from Taiwan was another
stroke back after a second-round
66.
Im very happy with the posi-
tion Im in, she said.
Woods formally enters
the PGA Championship
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. Tiger
Woods already has missed two
major championships this year.
He doesnt plan on missing the
last one.
Woods has formally entered
the PGA Championship, to be
played Aug. 11-14 at Atlanta Ath-
letic Club. He has been out of
golf for nearly three months so
that injuries to his left leg can
properly heal. He will make his
return next week in the World
Golf Championship event at
Firestone.
PGAspokesman Julius Mason
said Friday that Woods agent,
Mark Steinberg, told himthat as
long as everything goes well at
Firestone and there are no com-
plications to his left leg, that
Woods intends to play the PGA
Championship.
Woods has failed to win the
last nine majors he has played,
one short of matching his long-
est drought.
Simpson, de Jonge share lead
at Greenbrier Classic
WHITESULPHURSPRINGS,
W.Va. Brendon de Jonge and
Webb Simpson share the lead
halfway through the Greenbrier
Classic.
De Jonge shot a 3-under-par 67
on Friday while Simpson had a
68. They are at 7 under.
First-round leader Trevor Im-
melman shot a 70 and was at 6
under. Five others are two shots
back.
Among those failing to make
the cut at 1 over were Phil Mick-
elson, whose streakof 17straight
made cuts ended, and defending
champion Stewart Appleby.
Both finished 3 over.
Appleby shot 59 in the final
round a year ago to win at 22 un-
der.
Browne still on top
at U.S. Senior Open
TOLEDO, Ohio Olin
Browne followed a record-tying
64 with a solid 69 on Friday, to
takeaone-shot leadover atalent-
laden leaderboard in the rain-de-
layed second round of the U.S.
Senior Open.
Browne, who led by two
strokes after matching the tour-
naments low first-round score,
had a double-bogey and a bogey
but added five birdies includ-
ing 3s on the two closing par 4s.
He is at 9-under 133.
Mark OMeara (68) was one
shot back, with Mark Calcavec-
chia (67), Joey Sindelar (66) and
Michael Allen (69) at 135. Peter
Senior (67) was three back, with

Ochocinco, a reference to the
Spanish words for the numbers 8
and 5, legally changed his name
fromJohnson before the 2008 sea-
son. OnFriday, hehadthenumber
worn last year by rookie tight end
Aaron Hernandez, who hasnt
practiced following hip surgery in
February. Hernandez was on the
fieldwearingshorts withthenum-
ber 81.
The verbose Ochocinco didnt
speakwithreporters, althoughthe
Patriots officially announced the
trade for undisclosed draft consid-
erations on Friday. They still
hadnt announced the trade for
Washington Redskins defensive
tackle Albert Haynesworth.
New England did release seven
players, including defensive end
Ty Warren, tight end Alge Crum-
pler andoffensivetackleNickKac-
zur. All carriedsalarycapnumbers
of at least $3million. Alsoreleased
were linebacker Tully Banta-Cain,
defensive linemanMarcus Stroud,
cornerback Tony Carter and line-
backer Ryan Coulson.
The Super Bowl champion
Green Bay Packers released Mark
Tauscher, a fixture at right tackle
for the better part of a decade,
along with linebackers Nick Bar-
nett, Brandon Chillar and Brady
Poppinga and defensive lineman
Justin Harrell.
At Spartanburg, S.C., a person
familiarwiththesituationsaidNo.
1 draft pick Cam Newton reached
an agreement with the Carolina
Panthers. According to several
mediareports, Newtonhas agreed
to a four-year, $22 million deal.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera had
said earlier Friday that he expect-
edtheformer Auburnquarterback
tobeat WoffordCollegewhenCar-
olina held its first practice session
Saturday.
San Francisco has its new quar-
terback, too, and its a familiar
face: Alex Smith.
He signed his one-year free
agent contract, as expected, giv-
ing new coach and former NFL
quarterback Jim Harbaugh an ex-
perienced starter for this season.
Within minutes of completing his
deal, Smith was on the sidelines
for the teams first training camp
practice even though he cant
formally take part in physical ac-
tivity until Aug. 4 under the new
labor requirements.
Meanwhile, runningbackFrank
Gore was a no-show for the first
day of camp, apparently fulfilling
his plan to hold out for a newcon-
tract. The two-time Pro Bowl se-
lection, in the final year of his cur-
rent deal, has been deemed
healthy by his agent, DrewRosen-
haus, whodidnt respondtophone
messages or email inquiries Fri-
day.
Gore went down with a season-
ending fractured hip in a Monday
night game at Arizona last Nov.
29, but has recovered.
San Francisco released veteran
kicker Joe Nedney andcenter Eric
Heitmann after they failed physi-
cals. Nedney will be replaced by
five-time Pro Bowl kicker David
Akers, late of the Eagles, who
agreed to a deal Thursday.
Two-time Pro Bowl defensive
end Osi Umenyiora failed to re-
port for the opening day of the
New York Giants training camp
and was placed on the reserve-did
not report list.
Umenyiora, who said during
the recent lockout that general
manager Jerry Reese failed to live
up to a promise to renegotiate his
contract, can be fined $30,000 a
day. Umenyiora missed his physi-
cal, a team meeting and a condi-
tioning session.
At Vikings camp, the team for-
mally announced the trade with
Washington that brings quarter-
back Donovan McNabb to Minne-
sota. The Vikings sent a 2012
sixth-rounddraft choiceandacon-
ditional 2013 sixth-rounder.
McNabb had to agree to a restruc-
turing of the five-year, $78 million
deal he signed with the Redskins
for the trade to work.
Miami completed its trade for
Reggie Bush by sending safety Jo-
nathonAmayaandanundisclosed
draft pick to New Orleans. Bush
was acquired Thursday, when he
agreed to a two-year contract for
nearly $10 million with the Dol-
phins.
Its still pretty surreal for me,
said Bush, who cant practice with
Miami until Aug. 4 because of
post-lockout league rules. This
whole experience is great.
Miami also cut outspoken line-
backer Channing Crowder, who
had been a starter since his rookie
season in 2005, but was criticized
for not making more big plays.
Dolphins quarterback Chad
Henne said Friday the team had
reached a contract agreement
with quarterback Matt Moore,
who was not re-signed by Caroli-
na, but Miami had not confirmed
the deal.
Pittsburgh cut veteran tackle
Flozell Adams, while Atlanta is
bringing back a rising star at the
position, Tyson Clabo.
After the Steelers agreed to
terms with free agents Willie Co-
lon and Jonathan Scott, they re-
leased the 36-year-old Adams,
who was in the second year of a
two-year deal and was scheduled
to make $5 million this season.
The Falcons agreed to terms
with Pro Bowl tackle Clabo on a
five-year deal worth $25 million,
about $11.5 million in guaranteed
money. Atlanta opened cap room
by releasing defensive end Jamaal
Anderson and receiver Michael
Jenkins, two former first-round
picks. The team cleared $7.8 mil-
lion under the salary cap with
thosemoves, thenagreedtoterms
with DE Ray Edwards on a five-
year contract.
Also:
Quarterback Mark Brunell
was cut by the Jets, but the 40-
year-old could return to back up
Mark Sanchez at a reduced salary,
two people with knowledge of the
situation told The Associated
Press. Brunell was due $1.25 mil-
lion in base salary this year.
Punter Steve Weatherford said
he is leaving the Jets. He wont be
changing stadiums, though, by
moving to the Giants.
The Jets cut backup quarter-
back Kevin OConnell, who spent
last seasononinjuredreserveafter
hurting his throwing shoulder.
JacksonvilleandsafetyDawan
Landry agreed on a five-year con-
tract, giving the franchise a third
new defensive starter in as many
days. Landry, who spent the last
fiveyearsinBaltimore, isexpected
to sign a contract Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Jaguars gave up
on 2008 first-round draft pick Der-
rick Harvey. The defensive end
had just eight sacks in 47 career
games, including 32 starts. The
eighth overall pick in 2008, Har-
vey got a five-year, $33.4 million
contract that included $17.4 mil-
lion guaranteed. By 2010, he was
riding the bench.
The Jaguars cut starting guard
Vince Manuwai, who showed up
at training camp injured, out of
shape and overweight. Manuwai
injuredhis left foot last monthand
couldnt attempt conditioning
tests.
Tampa Bay agreed to terms
with former Atlanta punter Mi-
chael Koenen, then reached deals
to re-sign free agent guard Davin
Joseph and tackle Jeremy True-
blood. The Buccaneers hada turn-
aroundseasonin2010ingreat part
due to improvement on the offen-
sive line.
Defensive lineman Shaun
Smith, an eight-year veteran,
agreed to terms with Tennessee.
He spent last season with Kansas
City and had 56 tackles and one
sack with10 starts.
The St. Louis Rams agreed to
terms on a four-year contract with
guardHarvey Dahl, who hadbeen
a fixture in Atlanta and had been
considered one of the top free
agents at his position.

with the lockout. The Eagles
couldnt complete their custom-
ary extension because of the va-
garies of the uncapped 2010 sea-
son. So Jackson played out the
third season of his four-year roo-
kie contract, and it was a case
study in the complexity of plac-
ing a value on him.
The market has been set. San-
tonio Holmes agreed to terms
with the Jets this week for five
years at a reported $50 million.
That deal reportedlyhas $24mil-
lion in guaranteed money. Seat-
tle wrapped up free agent Sidney
Rice this week for five years at a
reported $41 million, with $18.5
million guaranteed.
Jackson is at least as valuable
as either of them in the Eagles
big-play offense. His 2010 num-
bers (47 catches, 1,056 yards, 6
TDs) dont tell the whole story.
His average of 22.5 yards per re-
ception, the strain he puts on de-
fenses, and his return skills all
add value.
A fair deal would average
about $10millionto$12milliona
year over six or seven seasons
the length actually benefits the
Eagles because it is more cap-
friendly. Jackson is only 24. Hed
turn 32 near the end of the final
season of a seven-year deal.
So its simple, right? Well,
there are a few qualifiers.
Jackson isnt the most mature
guy to come along. Then again,
as wide receivers go, his diva
qualities arent out of propor-
tion. The bigger concerns are
physical: Jackson, listed at 5-
foot-10 and175 pounds, has been
knocked out of games with con-
cussions in each of the last two
seasons. Last years injury, which
came against Atlanta in October,
was especially severe. Because
of that, because of his size, and
because speedis his entire game,
Jacksons career longevity is a
more pressing issue than, say,
that of the6-4, 200-poundRiceor
the 6-5, 230-pound Vincent Jack-
son.
That is exactly the reason that
DeSean Jackson wants and de-
serves a newdeal before he plac-
es himself at risk for another
game, let alone a season.
He is right to want that deal.
He shouldnt hold out to get it,
but then, he really shouldnt
have to.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
WASHINGTON With his
trial abruptly cut short, former
baseball star Roger Clemens ar-
gued Friday that prosecutors in-
tentionally goaded him into ask-
ing for a mistrial and asked a
judge tothrowout his indictment
on charges of lying to Congress.
Clemens argued that a new
trial would violate his constitu-
tional right against the double
jeopardy of facing the same
charge twice.
His lawyers said prosecutors
revelation that a teammate told
his wife that Clemens confessed
to using a drug was no acci-
dent. They said the prosecutors
chose to ignore U.S. District
Judge Reggie Waltons order
against using her testimony so
they could provoke a mistrial be-
cause their case was going badly.
The mistrial came on the second
day of testimo-
ny in a trial that
was expected
to last four to
six weeks.
Most legal
experts who re-
viewed copies
of the Clemens
transcripts for The Associated
Press say he probably will face a
second trial under rules estab-
lished by the Supreme Court.
They said that when a mistrial is
requested by the accused, the
general rule is that the guarantee
against double jeopardy does not
prevent another trial unless the
judge finds prosecutors provoked
a mistrial. But the experts point
out theres no indication prosecu-
tors would have wanted to start
their case over so soon.
But the Clemens team argued
this is the rare case that meets
the standard.
By the time the government
provoked the mistrial, its highly
experiencedcounsel hadsuffered
a series of setbacks that cast
doubt on the case against Mr.
Clemens, defense attorneys
wrote. They pointed out that
prosecutors have not said they
made a mistake and argued that
the violations were critical, hot-
ly contested pretrial issues that
no experienced prosecutor could
simply have missedwhenit came
time to finalize exhibits and pre-
pare witnesses.
Prosecutors have three weeks
torespond. Waltonhas set a Sept.
2 hearing on the retrial issue.
Clemens attorneys argued
that the record-setting pitcher
has lived in a continuing state of
anxiety and insecurity over the
possibilitythat eventhoughinno-
cent hemaybefoundguilty. They
argued a second trial would re-
ward government misconduct by
giving prosecutors a chance to
improve jury selection, hone its
trial strategy and address issues
raised early in the first trial.
The government had its day
in court and squandered it with
misconduct that irretrievably
wasted time, money and the op-
portunity for a one-time, fair res-
olution of these charges for all in-
volved, Clemens attorneys
wrote in their filing.

Clemens lawyers: Mistrial was intentional
The defense team alleges that
prosecutors purposely sought

Clemens
Juergen Klinsmann was ap-
pointedas theU.S. national team
coach on Friday, a day after Bob
Bradley was fired.
The former Germany coach
will be a familiar face to Ameri-
can fans, given that he nearly got
the job after the 2006 World Cup
and then again last year before
Bradley was given what turned
out to be a short-lived contract
extension to 2014.
The former Germany strikers
first game in charge will be a
friendly against archrival Mexi-
co in Philadelphia on Aug. 10.
Qualifying for the next 2014
World Cup in Brazil begins next
year.
We are excited to have Juer-
gen as the head coach of our
Mens National Team, U.S. Soc-
cer president Sunil Gulati said in
a statement. He is a highly ac-
complished player and coach
with the experience and knowl-
edge to advance the program.
Juergen has had success in many
different areas of the game, and
we look forward to the leader-
ship he will provide on and off
the field.
Klinsmann will be formally in-
troduced Monday at a news con-
ference in New York.
I amproud and honored to be
namedthe headcoachof the U.S.
Mens National Team, Klins-
mannsaid. I wouldlike to thank
the U.S. Soccer Federation for
the opportunity, and Im excited
about the challenge ahead. I am
looking forward to bringing the
team together for our upcoming
match against Mexico and start-
ingontheroadtowardqualifying
for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Klinsmann, who turns 47 on
Saturday, has a considerable
World Cup pedigree.
As a player, he scored 11 goals
in three World Cups, 1990, 1994
and1998. That ties himfor sixth
on the all-time scoring list, just
behind Pele.
Klinsmann was a key cog for
West Germanys 1990 World
Cup-winning team and the Ger-
man teams captain from1994 to
1998. He retired in 1998 and
moved to the United States
shortly afterward.
Klinsmann and his wife, Deb-
bie, reside in California with
their two children, Jonathan and
Laila.
Germany coach Joachim
Loew, who was Klinsmanns as-
sistant before becoming his suc-
cessor, wished him well and
expects big changes.
I am happy for Juergen, that
hehas foundanewchallengeand
I wishhimalot of success, Loew

STATE COLLEGE Ayouth
baseball team from Uganda that
would have been the first squad
from Africa to play at the Little
League World Series has been
denied visas to enter the United
States.
The U.S. Department of State
declined to give a reason for the
decision, other than to say that
the teams documentation con-
taineddiscrepancies, officials at
Little League headquarters in
South Williamsport said Friday
in a statement.
It is unfortunate, as we were
very much looking forward to
welcomingthe first Africanteam
to the Little League Baseball
World Series, league president
Stephen Keener said. However,
we have worked very closely
with our State Department in re-
cent years, and we very much ap-
preciate their diligence in this
matter.
Little League vice president
Patrick Wilsonsaidthe State De-
partment cited privacy concerns
in declining to release details.
We knew their documents
were under review ... but its
been a couple days of back and
forth before the decision was
confirmed Friday, Wilson told
The Associated Press in a phone
interview. Wilson said the deci-
sion was considered final.
The Rev. John Foundation Lit-
tle League team from Kampala
won the Middle East and Africa
region tournament, which was
played in Poland, with a 6-4 win
July 16 over the Arabian Ameri-
can Little League team from
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
It was the first time in the 65-
year history of the World Series
that a team from Africa had ad-
vanced that far.
The World Series is for chil-
drenages11to13. TheSaudi Ara-
bian team had been a mainstay,
qualifying 17 times since 1991.
That squad was comprised
primarily of children of U.S. citi-
zens who worked overseas. In
contrast, the Ugandan team was
made up of children who lived in
villages outside Kampala and at-
tended the foundation-based
school.
The first local Little League in
Uganda was chartered in 2005,
while the Rev. John Foundation
team played its first regional
tournament in 2008.
Little League now must now
decide how to proceed with the
World Series, which begins Aug.
18 in South Williamsport and
ends Aug. 28.
Wilson said tournament orga-
nizers would meet in the next
fewdays inhopes of makinga de-
cision within a week. Sixteen
teams qualify for the World Se-
ries, eight inthe U.S. bracket and
eight from the international
bracket.
Ideally, wed like to have a 16-
team field, Wilson said.
According to Little League of-
ficials, the last time a team that
qualified could not make the trip
was 1959, when a squad from
then-West Germany composed
of dependents of U.S. Army per-
sonnel didnt have enough mon-
ey to travel. At the time, just
eight teams qualified for the
tournament, and the 1959 series
was played with just seven
squads.

If NBA stars are serious about
playing overseas, basketballs
governing body says they will be
welcomed.
Just as long as they promise to
leave once the lockout ends.
FIBA announced Friday it
would clear NBA players under
contract toplayinits leagues dur-
ing the work stoppage, provided
the deals they sign come with
opt-out clauses.
In a ruling that paves the way
for players to earn a paycheck, FI-
BAagreed with NBAand players
association officials that players
are free to sign anywhere but do
so at their own risk of injury.
As the world governing body
for basketball, we strongly hope
that the labor dispute will be re-
solved as soon as possible, and
that the NBAseason is able to be-
gin as scheduled, secretary gen-
eral Patrick Baumann said.
In viewof our role to promote
basketball worldwide, we sup-
port any player wishing to play
the game, wherever and whenev-
er. We do so while obviously tak-
ing the interests, rights and obli-
gations of all parties into ac-
count.
Playing overseas has emerged
as an option during a work stop-
page that threatens to last
months and could even wipe out
the entire season. Nets All-Star
Deron Williams has a deal with
Turkishclub Besiktas whichis
also courting Kobe Bryant and
most top players said they would
consider playing overseas.
Union executive director Billy
Hunter has endorsed the idea,
withplayers believingit will pres-
sure owners at the bargaining ta-
ble if they see their players have
options elsewhere, andFIBAmay
have been faced with a legal chal-
lenge had it denied the players.
Our players are gratifiedby to-
days announcement by FIBA, al-
though it comes as no surprise,
Hunter said in a statement. We
have consistently advised our
members that in the event of a
lockout theywouldhavetheright
to be compensated for playing
basketball irrespective of wheth-
er they were under contract to an
NBA team or not. We have en-
couraged all of our players to pur-
sue such opportunities and will
continue to do so.
If a player under NBA contract
agrees to a deal in a FIBA-affiliat-
ed league, he first must be clear-
ed to go by the NBA. The league
will allow partial clearance,
meaning it must be guaranteed
the player returns to his NBA
team once a new collective bar-
gaining agreement is reached.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich.
The Detroit Pistons are giving
Lawrence Frank another chance
to lead an NBA team.
A person with knowledge of
the situation said Friday that the
Pistons have agreed to a three-
year deal with Frank to be their
new head coach. The agreement
includes a team option for a
fourth year, according to the per-
son who spoke to The Associated
Press on condition of anonymity
because the team hasnt an-
nounced the move.
Frank, an assistant coach with
Boston last season and a former
head coach in NewJersey, will be
Detroits sixth coach in 11 sea-
sons whenthe NBAlockout ends.
The Pistons firedJohnKuester in
June after they missed the play-
offs in both of his two seasons.
A deliberate coaching search,
which included Mike Woodson,
Kelvin Sampson, Bill Laimbeer
and Patrick Ewing, ended with
the franchise choosing to give
Frank another shot at the head
job. Frank was 225-241 as coach
of the Nets, who advanced to the
conference semifinals three
times with him at the helm.
Frank replaced Byron Scott as
New Jerseys coach in January
2004 and began his career with a
13-game winning streak. He end-
ed his stint with the Nets with a
losing streak that was even long-
er. He was fired in November
2009 after the team started that
season 0-16.
The 40-year-old from Teaneck,
N.J., spent four seasons as a stu-
dent manager for Bob Knight at
Indiana. He was an assistant at
Marquette and Tennessee before
becoming an NBA assistant in
Vancouver and New Jersey.

Madison Bitting and an error. Andreoli fol-
lowed with her first RBI before a double from
Mikala Simons finished off the scoring in the
inning, staking Warrington to a 4-0 lead.
Kingston/Forty-Fort would take its cuts
against Andreolis fastballs. When they did
connect, they couldnt get a ball past War-
ringtons swarming infielders and quick out-
fielders.
Warrington struck again in the bottom of
the fourth thanks to back-to-back singles
from Simons and Meghan Bradley, along
with a walk drawn by Lauren Curso.
After a bases-loaded walk to Emily Gillard,
Ruscio beat out a throw to first for an infield
single and a 6-0 lead. Bitting added an RBI
groundout before Andreoli laced a shot into
right field for her second RBI and the final
run of the game.
Kingston/Forty-Forts last chance came on
a Lauren Pizano single. She moved over to
second on a sacrifice and Irelyn Sullivan reac-
hed on a walk before Andreoli shut the door
to complete the shutout.

Returning to the rotation was a

My problem the whole season

Hazleton-based team finishes third nationally
The Times Leader staff
warded our football team and
the city of Philadelphia with
some great players.
Asomugha, considered the
top free agent on the market,
spent his first eight seasons with
the Raiders. He had a career-
high eight interceptions in
2006, went to the Pro Bowl in
the 2008, 2009 and2010 seasons
and was named a first-team all-
pro in 2008 and 2010.
Late Friday, the Eagles an-
nounced they had agreed to
terms with quarterback Vince
Young.
The one-year deal was made
early Friday morning, but the
Eagles couldnt officially an-
nounce it because of a procedur-
al matter involving Youngs re-
lease from the Tennessee Ti-
tans.
The former Pro Bowl quarter-
back is expected to arrive Satur-
day for training camp at Lehigh
University. Young wont be al-
lowed to practice until Thurs-
day because he technically is a
free agent.
The addition of Young gives
the Eagles a proven NFL quar-
terback albeit one with a
rocky history and fills the
teams need for a backup after
they shipped Kevin Kolb to Ari-
zona on Thursday. Second-year
quarterback Mike Kafka will re-
main the Eagles third option.
Asomugha is considered one
of the top cover cornerbacks in
the NFL, even though he has
just three interceptions in the
last three years, and was court-
edby several high-profile teams,
including the NewYork Jets and
Dallas Cowboys.
Hes one of the best, if not the
best, cornerback in the National
Football League, Reid said.
Hell be a great addition to our
cornerback corps. Right now.
The Eagles now have three
Pro Bowl cornerbacks on their
roster: Asomugha, Rodgers-Cro-
martie and Asante Samuel, who
has 42 interceptions in eight
years and has made the Pro
Bowl four straight years.
Its always been a priority po-
sition for us, Roseman said.
Corners, pass rushers, and we
felt like last year, we were in a
situation where maybe we got a
little short-handed, and we
thought it was a place that we
wanted to go heavy and have a
lot of talent at.
You can never have enough
cover corners. That helps your
pass rush and when you have an
opportunity to add the players
we added, we just thought we
had to add those guys.
The Eagles last year alloweda
franchise-record 31 touchdown
passes in the regular season,
and three more in a 21-16 loss to
Green Bay at home in the first
round of the NFC playoffs.
We have three good corner-
backs, Reid said. It reminds
me a little bit of when we had
(Pro Bowl cornerbacks) Al
(Harris), Troy (Vincent) and
Bobby Taylor.
Though he may have made
more elsewhere, Asomugha
made it clear he was interested
in winning a title as well. As the
league headed toward its free-
agency signing period, which
started on Friday at 6 p.m., it ap-
peared as if the Jets were the
clear frontrunner. What seemed
to help NewYorks cause, is that
Asomugha has aspirations of
acting whenhis playing days are
over. New York, over several
other destinations, clearly
seemedlike a goodplace tostart
that second career.
But instead of joining the
team that made the AFC title
game the last two years, hell
join an Eagles club that went
10-6 last season, won the NFC
East and figures now to be con-
sidered among the Super Bowl
favorites this year.
What makes the move even
more surprising is that the Ea-
gles werent a part of the early
courting of Asomugha. In fact,
Roseman said Philadelphia en-
tered negotiations very late.
But while they certainly have
one of the deepest defensive
backfields now, clearly one of
the big three wont be able to
start for the Eagles. Perhaps its
Samuel, who was excused from
training camp at Lehigh Univer-
sity the last two days.
The Eagles also officially
signed Pro Bowl defensive end
Jason Babin to a five-year con-
tract, and tight end Donald Lee
and wide receiver Johnnie Lee
Higgins to one-year deals.
ASOMUGHA

Brewster (Minnesota) and Bill
Lynch(Indiana) wereall dismis-
sed by their schools in the past
year. They have been replaced
by Luke Fickell, Brady Hoke,
Jerry Kill and Kevin Wilson, re-
spectively.
The followingis a brief lookat
the issues facing each of those
new coaches headed into the
2011 campaign.
INDIANA
Wilson wasnt allowed to di-
rectly address the one topic he
would have loved to talk about.
Earlier this week, Indiana re-
ceived a verbal commitment
from Gunner Kiel, the consen-
sus top high school quarterback
recruit in the country.
NCAA rules prohibit schools
from discussing recruits until
they have signed a letter of in-
tent or have enrolled on cam-
pus. So Wilson had to speak in
general terms.
Were sellinga great product,
a great school, a great opportu-
nity because were ready to take
this ship and get this thing ex-
ploded, Wilson said.
MICHIGAN
The Wolverines finally got a
Michigan man when they
hired Hoke, a former Lloyd Carr
assistant.
Now Hoke must work to fit
players who were recruited to
run an option-heavy spread of-
fense into his more convention-
al schemes.
We are smart enough peo-
ple usually dont say that about
me but were smart enough to
haveelements (from) thepast in
the spread in our offense, Hoke
said.
Hoke has little choice after
convincing explosive quarter-
back Denard Robinson to stick
around despite the departure of
Rodriguez.
MINNESOTA
Kill led Northern Illinois to a
bowl game in each of his three
seasons there, going 11-3 and
winningthe MACWest Division
title last year.
The Huskies certainly looked
to be better than the disjointed
squad Brewster led at Minneso-
ta.
So the coaching switch al-
ready looks to be an upgrade for
the Gophers.
Well, I thinkits a little bit dif-
ferent because you look at our
conference, how difficult it is,
Kill said about making the jump
fromtheMAC. Youhavetoplay
those games week in and week
out. Whenyoureat amid-major,
you may play two or three.
Thats a huge game when you
play them. Youre not playing
that competition week in, week
out. I think thats the differ-
ence.
OHIO STATE
Leading the Buckeyes may be
a dream for Fickell, but not un-
der these circumstances.
Fickell took over after the
school was forced to get rid of
Tressel inthe fallout of a scandal
that also saw star quarterback
Terrelle Pryor dismissed from
the team.
Now Fickell has a handful of
other starters serving five-game
suspensions. He must pick be-
tween a 25-year-old former mi-
nor-league pitcher and an 18-
year-old true freshman at quar-
terback.
And because Ohio State has
thus far escaped without major
sanctions, the school should
still be able to lure a high-profile
coach to replace Fickell after
this season.
Everything happened pretty
fast, Fickell said. The greatest
thing I guess I could say is I had
no time to sit andthink. I hadno
time to feel sorry of any sort, to
haveawholelot of emotion. The
situation arose and obviously I
had to stand up.
I think thats whats been
best for me not to have the
ability to sit down and think
about the situation thats ahead,
but hit the ground running, do
what I knowhowto do best, and
thats compete and obviously
learn along the way.

The big question ...
... For investors and economists is
whether the job market improved
in July or whether it stagnated for
the third straight month. Employ-
ers created only 18,000 jobs in
June and 25,000 in May. Econo-
mists are optimistic that hiring
picked up in July but they were
taken by surprise when the gov-
ernment reported extremely weak
growth in the spring. Another
question is about the unemploy-
ment rate did it backtrack after
rising to 9.2 percent in June?
A better manufacturing trend?
Economists believe manufactur-
ing grew slightly in July. Theyll
find out if theyre right when the
Institute for Supply Management
releases its index of manufactur-
ing activity on Monday. A rise in
the index would be the second in
two months. It would mean U.S.
factories are recovering from a
slump that began in the spring. A
drop in gas prices has helped
manufacturers. So has a pickup
in the flow of goods from Japan
following the March earthquake. Source: The Institute for Supply Management

Were consumers buying in July?
Two sets of reports this week will show how comfortable
consumers were about spending in July. Car companies
release their sales numbers on Tuesday, and retailers report
their results on Thursday.
June sales were good for
auto dealers and chain
stores as gas prices fell
and retailers marked down
summer merchandise. The
question now is whether
the weakening job market
and concerns about gov-
ernment debt stopped
people from buying in July.
Traders seek safety
On Friday, traders did something
they rarely do: they sold what are con-
sidered to be the worlds safest short-
term investments. Traders typically
buy short term U.S. Treasurys on Fri-
day because they want their money in a
safe place in case something happens
over the weekend to rattle markets.
But this week, they instead bought
longer-duration bonds as concerns
grew that the federal government may
not be able to pay all of its bills next
month. Yields on bonds due in one
month rose higher than those due in
six months. The higher the yield, the
higher the implied risk of the bond.
Stocks continued a weeklong slide
after a dismal report on economic
growth added to the anxiety.
Yahoo fixes China deal
Yahoo has settled a dispute affecting
one of its most prized assets a 43
percent stake in the Chinese Internet
company Alibaba Group. The invest-
ment lost some of its luster after Aliba-
ba spun off its online payment service,
Alipay, earlier this year without com-
pensating Yahoo or its other major
shareholder, Japans Softbank Corp.
Under the deal, Alipay will share
nearly half its profits with Alibaba and
pay its former corporate parent up to
$6 billion if it goes public.
Oil company profits soar
Chevron Corp. said Friday that profit
jumped 43 percent in the second quar-
ter as higher oil and gasoline prices
made up for a decline in oil production.
The company reported earnings of
$7.7 billion, or $3.85 per share, for the
three months ended June 30. That
compares with $5.4 billion, or $2.70
per share, in the year-ago period. Reve-
nue increased 31 percent to $66.7 bil-
lion.

placement will handle double duties.
Applications have been coming in for
thepast fewweeks tofill his spot as presi-
dent and chief executive officer and the
same role with the Greater Wilkes-Barre

and Chamber of Commerce board mem-
ber.
ThenewCEOshouldberesponsiblefor
bothorganizations, said
Schintz, who is chair-
man of the search com-
mittee.
The ideal candidate
will have five or more
years experience as a
CEO or more than 10
yearsseniormanagementexperiencewitha
private company, economic development
organization,chamberofcommerceorsimi-
lar nonprofit organization, according to the
jobadvertisement.
In addition, experience managing a
membership-based organization, real

Since Vonderheids announcement in
February the nonprofit business andeco-
nomic development organization has
been looking at the overall structure and
preparing for the search of candidates,
Schintz explained Thursday.
It also opted for a name change. The

$29,143 in other compensation, accord-
ing to the Chamber of Business and In-

ber, an offer will be made, he said.

Colours Inc., of Wilkes-Barre,
has purchased all of Miller Auto
Parts & Paint Co.s locations in
Maryland, West Virginia and
Pennsylvania.
The acquisitionmakes Colours
the largest privately-held PPG
Platinum distributor in the Unit-
ed States.
Fromone Wilkes-Barre store in
1986, the company had grown to
19 locations in three states by the
beginning of this year.
With the 10 Miller stores now
under the Colours umbrella, the
company can serve more than
8,000 customers, according to
Tim Evans, Colours owner.
And Evans said the plan is to
open at least 10 more locations
over the next four years.
Millers, which was headquar-
teredinHuntingdon, operatedlo-
cations primarily in central and
western Pennsylvania with the
Selinsgrove store closest to
Wilkes-Barre.
No purchase price was an-
nounced.
Evans said the two were not
competitors, as their customer
areas didnt overlap. We just
looked at each other from differ-
ent sides of the state, Evans said.
The acquisition brings togeth-
er two of PPGs most recognized
distributors on the East Coast.
PPG named Miller Auto Parts &
Supply as its 2010 Platinum Dis-
tributor of the Year.
Also a PPG Platinum distribu-
tor, Colours Inc. offers acomplete
line of PPG automotive paints
and finishes. Colours also pro-
vides training and support for au-
tobodyshoppersonnel andresto-
ration professionals.
We are pleased to welcome
Millers employees and custom-
ers into the Colours team, Evans
said. Together we will be the
standard by which customers in a
wide region of the country judge
suppliers in the automotive paint
and coatings industry.
Colours will add Millers 78
employees for a workforce of 210.
It also operates a distribution
and training center in Pittston.

WASHINGTON Presi-
dent Barack Obama and au-
tomakers ushered the largest
cut in fuel consumption
since the 1970s on Friday
with a deal that will save
drivers money at the pump
and dramatically cut heat-
trapping gases coming from
tailpipes.
The agreement pledges to
double overall fuel economy
to 54.5 mpg by 2025, bring-
ing even greater under-the-
hood changes to the nations
automobiles starting in mod-
el year 2017. Cars and trucks
on the road today average 27
mpg.
This agreement on fuel
standards represents the sin-
gle most important step we
have taken as a nation to re-
duce our dependence on for-
eign oil, Obama said, shar-
ing the stage with top exec-
utives of 11 major automak-
ers and a top automobile
workers unionofficial, before
a backdrop of some of the
most cutting-edge cars and
pickup trucks on the road.
Just as cars will go further
on a gallon of gas, our econo-
my will go further on a barrel
of oil, Obama said.
When achieved, the 54.5
mpg target will reduce U.S.
oil consumption from vehi-
cles by 40 percent and halve
the amount of greenhouse
gas pollution coming out of
tailpipes. It builds on a 2009
deal between the Obama ad-
ministration and automak-
ers, which committed cars
and trucks to averaging 35.5
mpg by model year 2016.
Fuel deal saves money at pump

Merck&Co. plans tocut as manyas13,000
morejobs under anewroundof restructuring
as the drugmaker prepares for generic com-
petition for its top-selling drug and slower
revenue growth in the U.S. and Europe.
The announcement came Friday as Merck
reported a higher second-quarter profit than
a year ago.
The newcuts wouldbringto30,000the po-
sitions eliminated since Mercks November
2009 megadeal to buy Schering-Plough
Corp., on top of about 5,000 positions the
companies cut before the deal closed.
Most of the new job cuts will come from
headquarters and other administrative func-
tions. The company also will close some of-
fices and manufacturing sites, CEOKenneth
Frazier toldanalysts duringa conference call.
The cuts are to be made by 2015 and wont
start in earnest until next year.
Such cuts are part of ongoing streamlining
by Merck and many competitors, whose pay-
rolls and costs ballooned in the1990s as they
addedthousands of salespeople to promote a
surge of blockbuster drugs taken by millions.
With those drugs getting generic competi-
tion, too few new drugs coming on the mar-
ket and payers pressing for relief from high
prices, the companies are slashing costs in
developed countries.
The maker of asthma and allergy drug Sin-
gulair and Type 2 diabetes pill Januvia said it
expects to save $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion
with the new round of cuts.

If you have ever visited the
Dairy Store, you probably saw
our free range chickens strolling
around the parking lot, peck-
ing in the grass or taking a dust
bath. Our friendly, comical
Bantam, Rhode Island Red,
Orpington Buff and Barred
Rock ladies are quite the attrac-
tion and enjoy an ever-growing
group of fans! A few weeks ago
The Lands hosted a Backyard
Chickens workshop and the at-
tendance was terrifc. Chickens
can be a fun hobby that yields
many benefts for a family and
the environment. There is noth-
ing like the taste of a fresh egg.
Free-range eggs dont just taste
better they are better for you
less cholesterol and saturated fat
but more vitamin A, omega-3
fatty acids and beta carotene.
Many believe that roosters are
needed in order for hens to lay
eggs this is not true. Hens
will do just fne on their own!
Chickens are terrifc educa-
tors. Like most living creatures,
chickens require daily fresh
food and water plus their nest-
ing area must remain clean. At
night chickens must be locked
inside their coup so they remain
safe until morning. Chickens
teach responsibility. Chick-
ens are an awesome help in
the garden even during the
off-season. Grubs and bugs are
a chickens favorite snack and
their droppings are packed with
nitrogen, which is excellent for
soil. Chickens reduce waste be-
cause they will eat most kitchen
scraps or leftovers (except
meat). Chickens teach science
and environmentalism.
A super lesson for todays
world includes money-manage-
ment and sustainability. Back-
yard chickens require a small
initial investment of money and
space yet produce eggs (food)
every day. A dozen free-range
eggs can cost $5 or more dol-
lars in a grocery or specialty
store. Of course, dont forget
the lesson of laughter. Chickens
provide some of the best old-
fashioned entertainment! The
personalities of these ladies are
hilarious to watch, especially
when they come running over
for a snack (if youve never seen
a chicken run get ready to roar
think endorphins without having
to run a few miles).
Not every community allows
backyard chickens so be sure
to check with your local code
enforcement before heading
out for your hens. If you cannot
have chickens where you live
dont worry you can still reap
most of the benefts of a back-
yard brood by visiting our Dairy
Store or your local farmer.

Perfect timing! A
wind shift last
evening has
blown all the
storms out to
sea while deliv-
ering drier air
just in time for
the weekend.
Youre bound to
notice a drop in
the humidity this
afternoon while
skies remain
mostly sunny
with a light
northerly wind.
But, it's still
going to be hot
out in the sun,
and that goes
for tomorrow as
well with no
chance of rain.
Indeed, it's safe
to say that we're
having a very
nice summer
season so far
with rainfall
being a little
above normal
and tempera-
tures a little
above normal.
Imagine living in
Dallas, Texas,
where they've
now gone 28
straight days of
having 100
degrees or high-
er.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Tropical Depression Don will be moving up the Rio Grande Valley, producing
much needed rain for Southern Texas. Some moisture from Don will also feed into the monsoonal
ow over the Southwest where scattered thunderstorms will be likely. A few storms will develop over
the Great Basin and some California mountains as well.

JoanTherese Seiverts necklace a
largeheart shapecoveredintinypieces
of sparklyjewelryattachedtoa bolotie
looks homemade, andit is. It comes
with a heartfelt story.
HersistermadeitforherbeforeSeiv-
ert left her hometown of St. Paul,
Minn., 35 years ago to live in Denver.
All those little sparkly bits were culled
from the jewelry passed down by her
grandmother.
Its Grandma. Its my sister. Its my
path of service. Its my work. Its my
faith. Its my way of taking care of my-
self. Its a way of showing up. Its a re-
minder, says Seivert, who helps fam-
ilies navigate senior-living choices
through her company, Connections
Unlimited. Clients, often unfamiliar
with elder-care options, start out wor-
ried and stressed. Seivert wears the
necklace to remind herself to work
from her heart and to signal that
message to others.
Manyof us collect or endupwithold
family knickknacks - sewing notions,
keys, jewelry, handkerchiefs, buttons,
all manner of little, ancient doodads.
Often, we dont know what to do
with them. What is this thingamabob
anyhow? Whats it made of? Should I
cherish it, or toss it? How might I use
it?
Some, like Seiverts sister, know ex-
actly what to do with the jars full of
keepsakesandthedrawersstuffedwith
thingamajigs.
Take Giuseppina Josie Cirincione
of Phoenix, who teaches community
artclassesandhaswrittenseveral craft-
ingbooks, includingCollage Lost and
Found (North Light Books, 2006). It
shares ideas for making collages and
jewelry with old photographs, memor-
abilia and vintage ephemera.
For Cirincione, creating begins with
collecting. She collects a lot of old
things, fromwoodendry cleaner hang-
ersandyardstickstokitchenandwood-
working tools. Cookie cutters. Brass
keys. Icepicks. Handwrittenlettersand
envelopes. Velveeta cheese boxes
(theyre wooden and tout the deli-
cious cheese food in vintage letter-
ing).
Thats only a slice of her collection,
and Cirincione puts it all to good use,
eventually.
Ive always been drawn to anything
old, drawntothat uniquething, Cirin-
cione says.
Fortherestof us, whosimplywantto
make a little something special with a
family members memorabilia, Cirin-
cione recommends making a two-di-
mensional collage or three-dimension-
al assemblage- buthandleyourtreasur-
es carefully.
Its a challenge, using Grandmoth-
ers things, she says. You dont want
todrill throughit or ruinit. Youhaveto
figurehowtousethefoundobjectpiece
without altering the piece itself.
This nod to preservation led Cirin-
cione to wire-wrapping and metal-sol-
dering. She recommends using baling
wire an all-around, fix-it wire used
to mend farm fences stripped of its
outercoating, whichrevealsagun-met-
al gray wire.
It lends itself more to a vintage,
found-object kind of look, Cirincione
says.

f youve ever cartedhome some unfortunate monstros-
ityfromabeachvacationandruedit, takeheart. Thats
not the kindof beachdcor were talkingabout here.
This summer, retailers are offering dcor that evokes
the sand and surf but with a sophistication that makes it
work as a seasonal accent to most rooms no matter what
your decorating style. Wisteria has some lovely wall art:
colonial nautical charts in sea blue with white type. Fantas-
tic in a contemporary space, the historical ambience of the
pieces would work equally well in a more traditional room.
An ivory linen pillow embellished with a spiny-finned fish
in navy blue strikes a chic and exotic note. And a wood and
metal tree for votive holders, crafted to look like a frond of
coral, would provide interest on a summer dinner table.
Get creative when hunting for
something interesting and season-
al; often, youll find it at a store you
might not usually go to.
PBTeen has a host of quirky yet
delightful items that evoke the
theme: a tabletop angel fish fash-
ioned from driftwood bits; wire art,
including jaunty starfish hooks; a
mountable sharks head whose
toothy maw can be used as a recep-
tacle for beachhats, dogleashes and
so on.
Wall mounted surfboards give
the cottage (or city apartment) a
laid-back spot to hang a jacket. And
a crisp cotton pillow is photo-print-
ed with a regal seagull perched atop
a sign pointing to what else?
the beach.
Bring some sea-life elements to a
couple of walls with Pottery Barns
mounted faux sea urchin collection,
set in a soft white frame. Branches
of rosy coral are silkscreened on lin-
en to make an elegant wall hanging.
There also are pretty cast-stone ter-
ra cotta starfish, and shells, washed
white and framed.
A days beachcombing often
yields some lovely finds, such as
gently hued, water-washed glass. At
W
hats the hurry, everyone?
Even though, we still
have a goodmonthor twoof of-
ficial summer left, by the end
of Julyretailers arealreadyroll-
ing out fall and Halloween dec-
orations.
Fortunately, for those of who
dont want to say goodbye too
soon, some area merchants are
still offering us beach pieces,
from kitchenware to wall hang-
ings. If youreclingingtothesea-
sons warm, watery vibes, smile
at these inspired adornments
that should liven up any room.

A beach vacation calls for some major relaxation time, which, in turn, can call for a
good strong drink. Serve up such a libation in this Grasslands Road ceramic
pitcher, inscribed with the phrase, "Id rather drink a martini than wear a bikini."
"The handle on this makes it very unique," Patty Leighton, owner of Bee Hive gift
shop in Wilkes-Barre, said. The pitcher sells for $39.99. If youd like to pair it with
more beach-based kitchenware, Bee Hive also sells ceramic dip bowls for $19.99,
complete with a bathing suit and snorkel-clad diver that serves as a spreader.
1. KITCHENWARE
Color comes to mind
during beach season, from
striped umbrellas to the
many-hued plastic pails
and shovels little ones
carry around on the sand.
This Island Imports In-
ternational candle holder
is a great way to infuse
some color into a room
from every angle. The
tabletop piece, retailing at
$13.99 at Country Junc-
tion in Wilkes-Barre, has a
stained-glass-like beach
scene on each of its four
sides. "Once you open the
door and put a candle in, it
lights the whole thing up
and gives off beautiful
colors," Donna Anthony,
sales associate, said. While
using a small candle would
be fine, Anthony suggests
a battery-powered light
instead.
4. LIGHTHOUSE
Sometimes a simple piece is key, and when a simple piece can be multiplied into a
statement-making wall decoration, well, even better. So it goes with the teal and
beige metal starfish wall hanging on sale for $6.49 at Country Junction in
Wilkes-Barre. "Putting more than one of these on a wall is a great way to decorate
it any way youd like," Donna Anthony , sales associate, said. "You can hang it so
its square or hang it in a diamond shape." Anthony also goes so far as to say the
beach-friendly art can be used for other things. "You could probably put this on a
nail that sticks out a little bit and use the spirals as a place to hang your keys."
3. STARFISH WALL HANGING
Remember that time the kids buried mom in the sand? How about when grandpa
pulled a huge crab out of the ocean? If you were fortunate enough to capture such
vacation memory moments on film, you can put them on display in a lightweight
wood and canvas picture frame. "The background of this reminds me of Ocean
City," Patty Leighton, owner of Bee Hive gift shop in Wilkes-Barre, said. "I think
you can really liken this background to any beach youve been to, which is the
beauty of it." The frame sells for $19.99 and was crafted in Lancaster.

inspired mirror; a starfish-rimmed mirror from Beach Grass Cottage;

HERE ARE
more painting
tips, this time
about stucco,
for which I get
many, many
questions,
especially from
Philadelphians living in a row
that is a house or two short,
with party walls that need re-
painting.
I turn, as usual, to Debbie
Zimmer at the Dow Chemical
Paint Quality Institute. She says
stucco can be successfully paint-
ed by following certain proce-
dures.
As with most painting pro-
jects, surface preparation is key.
Start by making sure that the
surface of your stucco is sound,
Zimmer said. It should be free
of dirt and powdery dust and
rough enough so that your prim-
er and paint will adhere well.
You can accomplish both
objectives by cleaning and
roughening the surface with a
stiff bristle brush, wire brush, or
if your stucco has been long
neglected a sandblaster.
Follow up with a thorough
rinsing.
The next step depends upon
the age and condition of your
stucco. Unpainted stucco that is
very new or less than a year old
presents special challenges.
For one thing, it may still
contain moisture from the origi-
nal mixing; for another, it may
have a high degree of alkalinity.
These possibilities have impli-
cations for the coatings you use,
Zimmer said. If you plan to
apply an oil-based or vinyl wa-
ter-based paint, you must first
apply an alkaline-resistant sealer
or risk having the paint fail
prematurely.
But you might be able to skip
this step, she said. If you are
going to use top-quality 100
percent acrylic latex paint, you
can often apply it directly to the
stucco, because these paints
resist the alkaline nature of
fresh masonry.
The exception: When painting
stucco that is less than a month
old, you should still apply an
alkaline-resistant primer or
sealer.
Weathered stucco that is
unpainted or previously painted
involves other considerations.
If you see efflorescence
white, crusty salt deposits on
your stucco, you must remove it
during surface preparation by
scraping, wire-brushing or sand-
blasting.
Even if your stucco shows a
slight tendency to produce
efflorescence or if it is very
porous or chalky you
should apply a sealer or latex
block filler before painting.
When applying any type of
latex coating to your stucco
sealer, block filler, or paint
you should dampen the surface
immediately beforehand. This
will allow the coating to dry
more slowly, which in turn, will
enable it to form a more durable
protective film.
What if the stucco is badly
cracked? In that case, the best
option is to call in a painting
contractor with experience
applying elastomeric wall coat-
ings very thick, highly flex-
ible paints that are designed to
bridge and seal cracks to keep
moisture out of the home.
Like other paints, elastomeric
coatings come in a wide range
of colors, but it takes special
training to apply them properly.

WHEELS
HE TIMES LEADER
While driving in rural
Georgia a few years ago
with one of Fords Euro-
pean executives as a pas-
senger, I suddenly found
myself at the tail end of a
traffic jam that appeared to
stretch a mile or more.
Until that point, it had
been a great drive covering about 70
miles of meandering two-lane tarmac.
Except for those few times when the road
bisected a small town, the prevailing
speed was around 50 miles an hour. That
was fast enough to enjoy the sporty vehi-
cle I was driving. The traffic jam put our
enjoyment on hold. After crawling for
what was about 15 minutes but seemed
like 15 hours, we discovered what was
causing the tie-up: A guy on the opposite
side of the road changing a flat tire.
The shoulder was nearly wide enough
for two cars, and the guy was well clear
of the road. The tire he was changing was
on the far side of the car. Nevertheless, I
could understand people slowing down to
30 mph or so out of courtesy or caution.
But I couldnt figure out why nearly every
car rolled past at the pace of a turtle with
three broken legs.
until I watched the drivers of the
first and second cars in front of me. Their
heads were on swivels as they passed the
car on the side of the road. They apparent-
ly had never before seen anyone changing
a flat tire and were mesmerized by it. The
way they slowed and stared, youd swear
they were watching a Cirque du Soleil
production. My British passenger turned
to me and mused, Only in America.
I couldnt argue. Not because Ive
spent a lot of times on European roads but
because Ive seen countless and constant
examples of stupidity, carelessness and
just plain incompetence on our own.
There are signs we may be coming to
our senses at least a little bit. Although
I still see plenty of folks focused on their
smart phones instead of the road, Im
encouraged that we seem to at least have
acknowledged that thats a problem.
But the sad fact is that the laws we
enact to prevent it wouldnt be necessary
if we as a nation truly learned what it
means to safely operate a vehicle in the
first place. My British passenger told me
some things that helped me understand
why we dont.
In most of Europe, he said, it is
very difficult to get a drivers license.
Where I grew up in England, you expect-
ed to fail your drivers test when you took
it. And the second time. And maybe even
the third.
Almost nobody passed the first time
because the test is tough and makes you
prove you can safely operate a vehicle
under all the conditions youre likely to
encounter on the road.
In Europe, we consider it a privilege
to have a drivers license, he continued.
But here in America, teenagers seem to
consider it a birthright.
I couldnt argue with him. Ive taken
and witnessed the driving portions of
motorcycle and car licensing tests in sev-
eral states. Most of those tests were
administered in parking lots. Those that
did require at least a minimal time on real
roads were generally conducted on roads
so free of other traffic they felt like closed
courses.
I never took or knew anyone who took
a driving test at night on snow or
even in a heavy downpour. But earn your
license by satisfying an examiner in a
parking lot on dry surfaces in daylight and
youre legally qualified to drive in a bliz-
zard or an ice storm.
Not that youre necessarily even barely
competent to do so. But society doesnt
seem to care. Moms and dads worry about
teenagers speeding, drinking and driving,
and clowning around with friends in the
car. But how many really appreciate that
theyre freely handing over the keys to an
incredibly deadly 3,500-pound weapon of
mass destruction without requiring them
to know how to handle that weapon?
Id bet most dont because they got
their drivers license under the same sys-
tem. They dont know themselves what it
takes to be a skilled and proficient driver
as opposed to a scarcely capable one.
I may not, either, but Ive tried to
understand what it takes to be able to con-
trol a vehicle. Ive attended several basic
and high-performance driving schools on
public roads and closed tracks. Ive taken
the national Motorcycle Safety Founda-
tion beginners and advanced classes sev-
eral times.
And I had a father and uncle who
cared enough to demand that I develop a
skill level in a car and on a motorcycle
that satisfied them, not just the laughable
basic competency test administered by
most DMVs.
I did the same when my daughters
were learning to drive. I made them drive
at night. I set up cones in empty parking
lots and made them perform emergency
braking and steering and prove they could
control a vehicle, not just start and operate
it. I took them out on the same parking
lots that were wet from rain and covered
by snow and ice.
I wanted them to know how a vehicle
would feel when it encountered those con-
ditions and learn how to control it. I want-
ed them to experience an uncontrollable
skid in a place where the vehicle would
eventually slide harmlessly to a stop
instead of crashing into another vehicle or
a building or heaven help us a pedes-
trian. Its a shame that our DMVs dont
demand the same. No, its not a shame;
its an injustice. Its easier to get a drivers
license than to win a prize at a carnival
game. And once you get it, youre a win-
ner for life! I know an 85-year-old who
hasnt driven regularly in at least 15 years
and can probably count on one hand her
times behind the wheel during that span.
Yet its perfectly legal for her to hop in
the car this afternoon and drive from
Boston to Los Angeles.
Maybe thats why our roads often
resemble a demolition derby. Drivers
wander between lanes, dont signal turns,
and clog the left, passing lane on the high-
way while driving slower than the speed
limit.
They also cause accidents by changing
lanes without signaling, passing on blind
curves and slamming on their brakes to
watch the guy changing a flat on the other
side of the road. Its time to raise the bar.
Its time to enact tougher licensing proce-
dures that require people to prove they
should be entrusted with your life and my
life when they operate a vehicle.
This is not a call for lower speed lim-
its, fewer passing zones, more traffic
lights or any of the other things we typi-
cally do to try to make our roads safer.
Those moves attack the effect rather than
the cause. The way to make our roads
safer is really simple: Produce better driv-
ers. Thats not really all that difficult,
although it will require a new attitude and
a whole new acceptance that safely oper-
ating a vehicle isnt as easy as weve been
pretending it is. Traffic accidents are the
leading cause of death among American
teens 15-20. Between 3,000 and 4,000 of
us are killed on the road and well over
30,000 are killed or seriously injured just
about every single year. Its time we did
something about that by getting to the
cause of the problem, not reacting to the
effect. Not doing so isnt just dumb, its
criminally negligent.
