SCRANTON An attorney for
the Luzerne County Correction-
al Facility has asked a judge to
dismiss a lawsuit filed by a for-
mer prison guard, saying evi-
dence shows the guard was ter-
minatedfor engaginginvileand
disgusting behavior and not for
political reasons, as he claimed.
In a court motion, attorney
Paul Galantesaysformer lieuten-
ant Robert Turner has failed to
produce any evidence to support
his allegation that he was fired
because he had supported the
candidacy of former county
Commissioner Maryann Petril-
la.
To the contrary, there is abun-
dant evidence to support the
prisons positionthat Turner was
fired for sexually harassing two
female co-workers and for ques-
tionable conduct involving nu-
merous female inmates, Galante
says.
Turner, of Pittston, filed suit
against the prison in 2010, claim-
ingthesexual harassment allega-
tions were untrue and a pretext
to fire himbecause he supported
Petrilla, whom he says was a po-
litical adversary of former Com-
missioner Greg Skrepenak.
Petrilla and Skrepenak served
on the prison board along with
former Commissioner Stephen
Urban. The board, which over-
saw the prison before the home
rule charter took effect, voted
unanimously to fire Turner on
July 14, 2008.
In the motion to dismiss the
suit, Galante says the decision
was based on sexual harassment
complaints filed by Angela
Sweet and Leah Beckley, as well
as reports fromother guards who
claimed Turner would frequent-
ly spend up to 45 minutes in his
office with female inmates with
the blinds closed.
Guards also reported Turner,
whileinthecontrol booth, would
get on the loudspeaker and ask
female inmates to show their
bodyparts, andwouldfrequently
allow female inmates to make
phone calls fromhis office.
The avalanche of reports
makes it clear that the plaintiffs
termination was based on plain-
tiffs vileanddisgustingbehavior
and not any alleged political sup-
port of commissioner Petrilla,
the motion says.
In a response to the motion,
Turners attorney, Kimberly Bor-
land of Wilkes-Barre, argues the
suit should be permitted to con-
tinue because there remains a
dispute over the veracity of the
allegations against Turner,
which he denies.
Borland cites alleged inconsis-
tencies in statements made by
Sweet andBeckley. Healsonotes
that Petrilla had a personal rela-
tionship with Beckley and her
family, which he alleges influen-
ced her decision to fire Turner.
Afederal judge will reviewthe
motions and issue a ruling at a
later date.

PITTSTON Police arrested
a second person they allege bur-
glarized the American Legion
on Vine Street earlier this week.
Patrick Ryan Shanahan, 20, of
East Noble Street, Nanticoke,
was arraigned Friday on charges
of burglary, criminal trespass,
conspiracy to commit burglary,
conspiracy to commit criminal
trespass, conspiracy to commit
criminal mischief and possess-
ing instruments of crime. He
was jailed at the Luzerne Coun-
ty Correctional Facility for lack
of $30,000 bail.
An arrest
warrant was is-
sued for Sha-
nahan on Tues-
day when, po-
lice believe,
the Legion was
burglarized.
Police allege Shanahan and
Brandi Balasavage, 26, of Scott
Street, Wilkes-Barre, forced
their way inside the Legion just
before 2:30 a.m. and pried open
machines containing coins and
bills.
According to the criminal
complaints:
Police heard people running
out of the Legion and into
woods. Officers chased two peo-
ple and arrested Balasavage af-
ter she fell down an embank-
ment.
Two backpacks and a crowbar
were found next to Balasavage
on the ground.
Police said in the complaints
Shanahan and Balasavage pried
open a cash register, a music
machine and a money change
machine.
Balasavage was charged with
similar offenses and remained
jailed Friday at the county cor-
rectional facility for lack of
$75,000 bail.
She allegedly told police she
felt Shanahan was taking too
long inside the Legion to pry
open the machines.
It is not the first time Balasav-
age has been accused of forcing
her way into a business and pry-
ing open machines containing
money.
Court records indicate Bala-
savage was sentenced in No-
vember 2010 on charges she bur-
glarized the Anthracite Caf on
Scott Street, Wilkes-Barre, on
Dec. 7, 2009, and Dukus Caf
on Pringle Street, Kingston, on
April 8, 2010, prying open juke-
boxes, video game machines
and an ATM.
Preliminary hearings are
scheduled on Wednesday before
District Judge Andrew Barilla in
Pittston.

HAZLETON City police
Chief Frank DeAndrea Jr. was
issued a citation Friday in con-
nection with a three-vehicle
crash in May in which a motor-
cyclist was severely injured,
state police at Hazleton report-
ed. He was cited for failing to
stop at a red light.
The filing of the traffic vio-
lation comes after an investiga-
tion into the crash by state po-
lice. DeAndrea was appointed
police chief in March.
State police allege DeAndrea,
48, of Hazleton, was driving a
Hazleton police 2008 Dodge
Durango on Broad Street and
failed to stop at a red traffic
signal at Laurel Street on May
18.
DeAndreas eastbound SUV
struck a 2007 Suzuki scooter,
operated by Walter L. Bloss, of
Butler Town-
ship, state po-
lice said.
State police
said Bloss was
thrown from
the scooter,
which slid
across the
roadway and struck a 2003 Hy-
undai Sonata, owned by Fran-
cesco Correra, of Hazleton.
Bloss suffered severe injuries
and was treated at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Center
in Plains Township.
DeAndrea suffered a minor
injury. Correra was not injured.
State police cited Bloss with
operating a vehicle without an
inspection sticker.
Citations against DeAndrea
and Bloss were filed Friday with
District Judge Joseph Zola in
Hazleton.
DeAndrea did not return a
message for comment on Fri-
day.
Penalties for failing to stop at
a red traffic signal are 3 points
against the drivers license and
a fine.

PHILADELPHIA
Priest charged in assault
A
Philadelphia priest suspended last
year has been charged with sexual-
ly assaulting a 10-year-old altar boy.
The Rev. Andrew McCormick, 56,
assaulted the boy in 1997 in his North-
east Philadelphia rectory, authorities
said Friday.
McCormick is one of about two
dozen priests suspended last year after
a blistering grand jury report found
many accused priests still in the minis-
try.
McCormick spent three decades as a
priest in the Philadelphia archdiocese,
and regularly took young boys on trips
to Poland, authorities said Friday.
We have reason to believe that there
may be other victims, District At-
torney Seth Williams said at a press
conference.
GREECE, N.Y.
Bullied bus aide retires
A New York school bus monitor who
was shown in a video being relentlessly
bullied by a group of boys says shes
retiring.
Karen Klein told The Associated
Press on Friday it was a tough decision
to leave the job she held for three
years, but that its time to move on.
The 68-year-old suburban Rochester
grandmother says shes not quitting
because of what happened on the last
day of school in June, when four sev-
enth-grade students taunted her with
profanity, insults and threats during a
school bus run. A10-minute video of
the episode went viral online and
spurred an outpouring of more than
$700,000 in donations from all over the
world.
The Greece school district has sus-
pended the students for a year.
TEHRAN, IRAN
Report: Iran stockpiles food
An Iranian news agency is reporting
the country has begun to stockpile a
three-month supply of foodstuffs for its
population.
The Friday report by semi-official
Mehr quotes deputy industry minister
Hasan Radmard as saying the country
has been buying wheat, cooking oil,
sugar and rice for the food reserve.
Radmard said the decision came
based on a decree by President Mah-
moud Ahmadinejad in recent weeks.
Part of the purchased foodstuffs has
already been imported, he added.
Irans trade with other countries has
been hindered since the United States
and the European Union imposed a
banking and insurance embargo on
Tehran over its disputed nuclear pro-
gram.
The West suspects Iran is pursuing
nuclear weapon, a charge Iran denies.
BOSTON
Sunken German sub found
Divers have discovered a World War
II-era German submarine nearly 70
years after it sank under U.S. attack in
deep waters off Nantucket.
The U-550 was found Monday by a
seven-man group, some of whom have
been searching for several years.
It was the second trip in two years to
the site by the team of divers, which
was organized by New Jersey lawyer
Joe Mazraani. He said the group used
sonar to locate the wreck in deep water
about 70 miles south of Nantucket. In
April 1944, the U-550 torpedoed an
Allied gasoline tanker, but was fatally
damaged by depth charges from an
escort vessel. Forty-four Germans were
killed, and 25 aboard the tanker died.

It wasnt immediately clear when the

said.
Inlight of what happeneda weekago

(for) the community to know, that we
take all threats seriously. And if youre
going to make a threat, we will take ac-
tion, Magawsaid.
Though theres no other indication of
a link to the Colorado shooting, police
believe the joker comments made by
Prescott were a clear reference to the
killings, according to the warrant.
Neighbor Wilbert Brinson, who lives
in a building across from Prescotts but
did not know him, said he was alarmed
by the allegedthreats.
Its an awakening, you know, after

WASHINGTON High un-
employment isnt going away
not as longas the economy grows
as slowly as it did in the April-
June quarter.
Weak consumer spending held
growth to an annual rate of just
1.5 percent, even less than the 2
percent rate in the first quarter.
And few expect the economy to
accelerate in the second half of
the year as Europes financial
woes and a U.S. budget crisis re-
strainbusinesses andconsumers.
The growth estimate Friday
fromthe Commerce Department
suggested that the U.S. economy
could be at risk of stalling three
years after the recession ended.
Economists generally say even 2
percent annual growth would
add only about 90,000 jobs a
month. Thats too few to drive
down the unemployment rate,
which is stuck at 8.2 percent.
The main takeaway from to-
days report, the specifics aside,
is that the U.S. economy is barely
growing, said Dan Greenhaus,
chief economic strategist at
BTIG LLC. Its no wonder the
unemployment rate cannot move
lower.
Sal Guatieri, senior economist
at BMOCapital Markets, expects
the unemployment rate to end
this year and next year at
8.3 percent. He said he foresees
no decline in unemployment be-
cause of howtepid he thinks eco-
nomic growth will remain: 2.2
percent for all of 2012 and 2 per-
cent for 2013.
Some economic data improved
over the course of the April-June
quarter, while others worsened.
Hiring, for example, rose slightly
from April to May to June. But
home sales weakened.
Stocks rose as investors
shrugged off the sluggish U.S
growth and focused instead on
pledges fromEuropeanleaders to
preserve the unionof the17coun-
tries that use the euro. The Dow
Jones industrial average jumped
more than 200 points in late-af-
ternoontrading. Broader indexes
also gained.
The lackluster economy is rais-
ing pressure on President Barack
Obama in his re-election fight
with Mitt Romney, the presum-
ptive Republican presidential
nominee. But few think the Fed,
the White House or Congress can
or will do anything soon that
might rejuvenate the economy
quickly. Many lawmakers, for ex-
ample, refuse to increase federal
spending in light of historically
large budget deficits.
No president since Franklin D.
Roosevelt, in the depths of the
Great Depression, has been re-
elected when the unemployment
rate exceeded 8 percent.
Jobless
rate may
remain at
high level
Weak consumer spending is
holding economic growth to
just 1.5 percent.
BEIRUT International concern
was mounting Friday over a looming
massacre as Syrian troops bombarded
the besieged city of Aleppo with artil-
lery, strafed it with aircraft and pulled
in major reinforcements ready to crush
the outgunned rebels.
The battle is one of the most impor-
tant of the 17-month-old uprising. With
a population of about 3 million, Aleppo
is Syrias largest city and commercial
hub, a key pillar of support for Presi-
dent Bashar Assads regime.
The rebels controlled several neigh-
borhoods but were facing reports of
troops and tanks massing outside the
city. The nonstop fighting in Aleppo
has already claimed the lives of at least
145 rebels and civilians in the last six
days, according to the Britain-based
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human
Rights Navi Pillay expressed deep
alarm, saying in a statement that the
reported build-up of forces in and
around Aleppo, bodes ill for the people
of that city ... it goes without saying,
that the increasing use of heavy weap-
ons, tanks, attack helicopters and
reportedly even jet fighters in urban
areas has already caused many civilian
casualties.
In at least two formerly rebel-held
Syrian towns over the summer, al-Qu-
beir and Houla, hundreds of civilians
were killed after pro-regime militias
moved in, according to activists.
It has been a difficult two weeks for
the Syrian government with rebel as-
saults first on the capital, Damascus,
and then on Aleppo, as well as several
high-profile defections and a bomb that
killed four top security officials.
The government, however, struck
back and quashed the assault on the
capital with a combination of heavy
weapons and house-to-house searches.
Scores of people were killed. Similar
tactics were expected in the coming
days to keep Aleppo from falling into
rebel hands.
I think there will be a huge mas-
sacre in Aleppo, said Michel Kilo, a
veteran opposition figure living in exile
in Paris. There will be a terrible re-
venge against civil society. He said all
of Aleppo, once believed to be a regime
stronghold, was revolting against As-
sads regime.
His concerns were echoed by British
Foreign Secretary William Hague and
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon,
both of whom called on Assad to imme-
diately halt the attack on Aleppo.

WASHINGTON Call it a triple win
for fighting the AIDS epidemic: Treating
peoplewithHIVearlykeepsthemhealthy,
cuts their chances of infectingothers, and
nowresearch shows its also a good finan-
cial investment.
The International AIDS Conference
closed Friday with the message that get-
ting treatment to more of the worlds 34
million people with HIVis key to curbing
the epidemic, short of a vaccine and cure
that still are years away.
It is unacceptable that scientifically
proven treatment and prevention tools
arent reaching people who need them
most, Nobel laureate Dr. Francoise Barre-
Sinoussi, co-discoverer of the AIDS virus
and new president of the International
AIDS Society, told the meetings closing
session.
Spreading treatment will be hugely ex-
pensiveup-front, but Harvardresearchers
said Friday that the investment would ac-
tually save hard-hit South Africa some
money over five years, as savings from
treating AIDS-related illnesses exceed
the medications price. Eventually those
savings will be overtaken by the costs of
treating millions for decades, but treat-
ment-as-prevention still is highly cost-ef-
fective, said Dr. Rochelle Walensky of the
HarvardCenter for AIDSResearch.
People used to think there was no way
we can do this, said Dr. Diane Havlir of
the University of California, San Francis-
co, who co-chaired the worlds largest
AIDSmeeting. Withbothscientific andfi-
nancial validation, for thefirst timewere
optimistic that we can.
But newU.S. data showhowhardeffec-
tive treatment is, evenindevelopedcoun-
tries. Here, most HIVpatientshaveaccess
to treatment, and guidelines say they all
should be offered it right after diagnosis.
Yet just one in four have their infections
under control, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention reported Friday.
Young people andblacks fare the worst.
Treating HIV early is crucial to fighting AIDS
International conference says early
intervention is also a good financial
investment.

dentified Persons System.
There are four other unidenti-
fied person cases from Luzerne
County listed on the namus web-
site.
A June 13 discovery of a wom-
an in woods in Hazle Township;
an unidentified African Ameri-
can woman, estimated to be 30
to 50 years old, found wrapped in
a blanket along Interstate 80 in
Dennison Township on Sept. 17,
1996; Skeletal remains to a white
female, 34-47 years old, found in
a remote area in Sugarloaf Town-
ship on Dec. 20, 1994; and an
African American woman found
near Interstate 80 in Black Creek
Township on Aug. 13, 1974.
Lisman said the discovery of
the pelvis and left leg on Ri-
chards Island is a mystery.
It was found within weeks of
the high water. It could have
been there for two years or
washed down fromthe NewYork
state line, or it could have been
buried and the high water ex-
posed it. We dont know, Lis-
man said.
A month before the skeletal re-
mains were found, the Susque-
hanna River reached a record
crest of 42.66 feet on Sept. 9.
Many areas north of Richards Is-
land were flooded, causing an
enormous amount of debris to
flow down river.
When the river receded, de-
bris littered the shores of the riv-
er and the many islands.
Lisman said Larksville police
searched national missing per-
sons reports but were unsuc-
cessful in finding a match.
Richards Island is visible from
the Carey Avenue Bridge con-
necting Hanover Township with
the West Side and is owned by
Luzerne County government.
According to The Times Lead-
er archives, baseball and soccer
fields were located on Richards
Island before the 1930s. It was
also farmed for produce during
the Great Depression of the
1930s.

At the same moment, real sky-
divers appeared as the stadium
throbbed to the James Bond
theme. And moments after that,
the monarch appeared in person,
accompanied by her husband,
Prince Philip.
Organizers said it was thought
to be the first time she has acted
onfilm.
The queen made herself more
accessible than ever before,
Boyle said.

prise and picked seven teenage
athletes for the supreme honor of
igniting the Olympic cauldron.
Together, they touched flaming
torches to trumpetlike tubes that
spreadinto a ring of fire.
The flames rose and joined ele-
gantly together to form the caul-
dron. Fireworks erupted over the
stadium to music from Pink
Floyd. And with a singalong of
Hey Jude, Beatle Paul McCart-
neyclosedashowthat ran45min-
utes beyond its scheduled three
hours.
Organizers said the cauldron
would be moved Sunday night to
the corner of the stadiumwhere a
giant bell tolledduring the show.
Boyleturnedthestadiumintoa
giant juke box, with a nonstop
rock and pop homage to cool Bri-
tanniathat ensuredtheshownev-
er caught its breath.
The high-adrenaline sound-
track veered from classical to ir-
cant and a snippet of its version
of GodSavetheQueen anan-
ti-establishment punk anthem
once bannedby the BBC.
The encyclopedic review of
modern British music continued
with a 1918 Broadway standard
adoptedbytheWest Hamfootball
team, theRollingStones (ICant
Get No) Satisfaction and Bohe-
mian Rhapsody, by still another
Queen, and other tracks too nu-
merous to mention, but not to
dance to.
The evening started with fight-
er jets streaming red, white and
blue smoke and roaring over the
stadium, packed with a buzzing
crowd of 60,000 people, at 8:12
p.m. or 20:12 in the 24-hour
time observedby Britons.
Boyle, oneof Britainsmost suc-
cessful filmmakers, who directed
Slumdog Millionaire and
Trainspotting, had a ball with
his favored medium, mixing film-
edpassages withliveactioninthe
stadium to hypnotic effect, with
15,000 volunteers taking part in
the show.
Actor Rowan Atkinson as Mr.
Bean provided laughs, shown
dreaming that he was appearing
inChariotsof Fire, theinspiring
story of a Scotsman and an En-
glishman at the 1924 Paris
Games.
There was a high-speed flyover
of the Thames, the river that
winds like a veinthroughLondon
and was the gateway for the citys
rise over the centuries as a great
global hub of trade andindustry.
Headlong rushes of movie im-
ages took spectators on won-
drous, heart-racing voyages
through everything British: a
cricket match, the London Tube
and the roaring, abundant seas
that buffet and protect this island
nation.
Opening the ceremony, chil-
dren popped balloons with each
number from 10 to 1, leading a
countdown that climaxed with
Bradley Wiggins, the newly
crowned Tour de France cham-
pion.
Wearinghisyellowwinnersjer-
sey, Wiggins rang a 23-ton Olym-
pic Bell from the same London
foundry that made Big Ben and
Philadelphias Liberty Bell. Its
thunderous chime was a nod to
the British tradition of pealing
bells to celebrate the end of war
and the crowning of kings and
queens, and now for the opening
of a 17-day festival of sports
Londons recordthirdas host.
The showthen shifted to a por-
trayal of idyllic rural Britain a
placeof meadows, farms, sport on
village greens, picnics and Win-
nie-the-Pooh, A.A. Milnes bear
who has delighted generations of
Britishchildrentuckedwarmlyin
bed.
But that green and pleasant
land, to quote poet William
Blake, then took a darker, grittier
turn.
The set was literally torn asun-
der, thehedgerows andfarmfenc-
es carried away, as Boyle shifted
to the industrial transformation
that revolutionized Britain in the
18th and19th centuries, the foun-
dation for an empire that re-
shaped world history. Belching
chimneys rose where only mo-
ments earlier sheep hadtrod.
The Industrial Revolution also
producedterrifyingweapons, and
Boylebuilt amoment of hushinto
his show to honor those killed in
war.
This is not specific to a coun-
try. This is across all countries,
and the fallen from all countries
are celebratedandremembered,
heexplainedtoreportersaheadof
the ceremony.
Because, obviously, one of the
penalties of this incredible force
of change that happened in a
hundred years was the industrial-
ization of war, and the fallen, he
said. Youknow, millions fell.
Olympic organizers separately
rejected calls for a moment of si-
lence for 11 Israeli athletes and
coaches slain by Palestinian gun-
men at the 1972 Munich Olym-
pics.

LONDON Mitt Romney
struggled Friday to stempolitical
fallout at home after insulting
Britains handling of the London
Games. The stumble at least
briefly pitted the Republican
presidential candidate against
Americas strongest ally while
limiting his ability to capitalize
on more troubling U.S. economic
news.
At thesametime, President Ba-
rack Obama used his office to try
to take advantage of the Republi-
cans missteps abroad, praising
Britain for its Olympics prepara-
tions one day and sending money
to Israel the next just as Rom-
ney prepared to visit that nation.
The confluence of events
just as the world focused on Lon-
dons openingceremonies con-
founded Republicans and tickled
Democrats. People in both par-
ties wondered aloud how the for-
mer Massachusetts governor
couldhave complicatedthe open-
inglegof a three-nationtour care-
fully crafted to highlight his dip-
lomatic strengths and personal
Olympic experience.
You have to shake your head,
GOPstrategist Karl RovesaidFri-
day on Fox News.
It was unclear just how much
damage Romney, who had hoped
to burnish his limited foreign pol-
icy credentials, didwithanAmer-
ican electorate that hasnt fully
tuned into the race. But he cer-
tainly stoked talk in political cir-
cles in Washington, if not else-
where, of political tone-deafness,
and he raised questions about his
readiness to stand on the world
stage.
Publicly at least, Romneys
campaign shrugged it all off as
having little impact on American
voters and moved aggressively to
change the subject. His aides
hastily organized a conference
call with reporters to discuss his
schedule in Jerusalem and pre-
view a speech there two days
away.
Britishpress reports lacedwith
lingering resentment targeting
Romneys initial comment
that problems with Olympic
preparations were disconcert-
ing made it difficult for him
to turn the page.
A day after London Mayor Bo-
ris Johnson assailed Romney by
name in a rally before tens of
thousands, Britains Culture Sec-
retary Jeremy Hunt, the cabinet
minister in charge of the Olym-
pics, lashed out at him.
When we have the opening
ceremony tonight and we tell the
worldthat eight of the worlds top
10 sports were either invented or
codified in Britain and only
two in America I hope Mr.
Romney is watching, he said Fri-
day.

WASHINGTON Barack
Obama reminisces about taking
a wrong turn and getting lost.
Fumbling to fold a map. Dash-
ing to Kinkos to copy campaign
fliers.
The presidents re-election
campaign increasingly is sound-
ing like a nostalgia tour. His
speeches stroll through elec-
tions past, serving up fond me-
mories of his days running as a
political unknown, identifying
early political inspirations and
reminding voters that, win or
lose, this will be his last cam-
paign after 13 appearances on
the ballot since 1996.
Im term-limited, he tells
crowds a flat statement of the
obvious that always gets a
laugh. You get a little nostalgic
and you start thinking about
your first political campaigns.
These are not the casual ad-
libs of a candidate suddenly
turning wistful, but a rhetorical
device designed to transport
Obama back to the days when
he was the kind of ordinary guy
voters felt they could relate to,
long before he rode in limou-
sines and flewon Air Force One.
Sometimes I couldnt find a
parking spot and so Id end up
being late, and if it was raining
Id have to fumble with my um-
brella and Id come in kind of
drenched, Obama told a crowd
in Oakland, Calif., earlier this
week.
There were these things
called maps, because we did not
have GPS, he told a chuckling
crowd in Portland, Ore., the
next day. And they were on pa-
per, and youd have to fold them.
Youd unfold them and then try-
ing to fold them back was really
difficult.
The unwritten subtext: Im
just like you, and my policies
flowfromour shared experienc-
es. Mitt Romney, hes a rich guy
whose policies would benefit
the elite.
Its the silver-spoon-in-his-
mouth attack more gently in-
sinuated, says Kathleen Hall
Jamieson, an expert on political
rhetoric and director of the An-
nenberg Public Policy Center at
the University of Pennsylvania.
Its also a rejoinder to Rom-
neys own characterizations of
Obama as iso-
lated in the
presidential
bubble and
out of touch
with the eco-
nomic con-
cerns of ordi-
nary Ameri-
cans.
Obama uses his reminiscing
riffs to trace a direct connection
between his biography and
those of the voters he met in
early campaigns. The older cou-
ples, he says, reminded him of
his grandfather who served in
World War II and his grand-
mother who worked a bomber
assembly line. The single
moms, he says, remindedhimof
his own mother, who worked to
put herself and her two kids
through college. The working
couples, he says, reminded him
of his wifes parents.
I would be traveling and Id
meet people, and Id say, you
know what, their story is my
story, Obama told a crowd in
Texas this month.
Robin Lakoff, a professor
emeritus of linguistics at the
University of California-Berke-
ley, said Obamas goal in getting
all personal, fuzzy-wuzzy and
nostalgic is to recreate an in-
timacy with voters. Lakoff, who
reviewed Obamas speeches and
commented by email, said both
the presidents Kenyan ancestry
and his cool personality make it
especially important for him to
cement a personal connection
to voters.
That is not to say his self-rev-
elations are false I think they
are genuine but they are de-
signed to do this particular es-
sential job, she said.
At 50, Obama has been run-
ning for something every few
years since 1996, when he was
first elected to the Illinois Sen-
ate.
Obama, on trail,
grows nostalgic
The president uses folksy
stories to connect with
ordinary voters, expert says.

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama said Friday he is
releasing an additional $70 mil-
lioninmilitaryaidforIsrael, apre-
viously announced move that ap-
peared timed to upstage Republi-
can rival Mitt Romneys trip to Is-
rael this weekend.
The stepped-up U.S. aid, first
announcedinMay, will gotohelp
Israel expand production of a
short-range rocket defense sys-
tem. The system, known as Iron
Dome, has proved successful at
stoppingrocket attacks firedat Is-
raeli civiliansfromcloserange, in-
cluding from Gaza. The official
spoke on the condition of ano-
nymitybecausehewas not autho-
rized to speak publicly ahead of
the president.
Obama announced the new
military assistance as he signed a
bill in the Oval Office expanding
military and civilian cooperation
with Israel.
Obama said the bill under-
scores the United States un-
shakable commitment to Israel.
The White House focus on Is-
rael this week comes as Romney
prepares to visit Jerusalem. The
presumptive GOP nominee is a
criticof Obamas policytowardIs-
rael and has promised to ramp up
U.S. aid to the Jewish state, al-
though Obama officials say the
administration already provides
record levels of funding.
A Romney spokeswoman said
the former Massachusetts gover-
nor was happy to see steps being
takentoenhancesecuritycooper-
ation with Israel.
Unfortunately this bill does
nothing to address yesterdays
evasiveness from the White
HouseonwhetherPresident Oba-
ma recognizes Jerusalem as the
capital of Israel, which raised
doubt about the presidents com-
mitment to our closest ally in the
region, said Romney spokeswo-
man Amanda Henneberg.
Romney is in London on the
first leg of an overseas trip de-
signed to burnish his foreign pol-
icy credentials.
The White House subtly inject-
ed itself into Romneys trip on
Thursday after Romney caused a
stir by calling Londons problems
with Olympics preparation dis-
concerting.
White House spokesman Jay
Carney said Obama has the ut-
most confidence inBritains abil-
ity to host the games.
Obama planned to continue
competing with Romney for at-
tention during the opening cere-
monies of the Olympic Games,
which Romney was scheduled to
attend while in London. Romney
led the organizing committee for
the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake
City.
The Obama campaign was air-
ing an ad for American audiences
during the opening ceremonies
featuring Obama promoting his
middle-class political pitch.
I believethat thewayyougrow
the economy is from the middle
out, Obama says in the ad, echo-
ing a standard campaign refrain.
I believe in fighting for the mid-
dle class because if they are pros-
pering, all of us will prosper.
Withthead, Obamaguarantees
himself a presence during open-
ing ceremonies despite the free
media Romney might get by be-
ing there in person.

The defensive tackle on Penn State Universitys
football team related his supportive conversation
with his friend, roommate and Nittany Lions tailback Silas Redd, who
reportedly is contemplating a transfer to USC. The NCAA, which
sanctioned Penn State in response to the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse
cover-up, has allowed opposing schools to contact Lions players.
Writer knocks lawmakers
for campus drilling votes
A
vote recently was taken in the state
House of Representatives to decide
whether unconventional gas drilling
(fracking) should be allowed on colleges
and university campuses in the Pennsylva-
nia state-run system.
Among our local representatives, only
Karen Boback and Tarah Toohil voted in
favor of this measure.
The methods associated with high-vol-
ume hydraulic fracturing have been associ-
ated with numerous instances of water
contamination, as well as a variety of seri-
ous health problems. This industry first
got off the ground in Pennsylvania when
unscrupulous landsmen descended upon
small rural communities and offered the
residents variable amounts of money in
exchange for the right to drill on or under-
neath their properties. Now many of these
people live in homes that have been signif-
icantly devalued, while the money they got
from the drillers is insufficient to purchase
another home.
Our legislators should demand envi-
ronmental and health studies be done
before any more development takes place.
But when it comes to granting permission
to drill on college campuses in Pennsylva-
nia, all it takes is enough lawmakers in the
pocket of the industry.
I wonder if representatives Boback and
Toohil will get to sit alongside state Sen.

You cant count on city
to have accountability
I
n a recent article in The Times Leader, it
says that Wilkes-Barre is keeping better
tabs on its fuel and few discrepancies
remain. There shouldnt be any discre-
pancies!
I love the for instance: 230 gallons of
gasoline were removed, but the log shows
234.7 gallons were dispensed. Over or
under, its unacceptable.
OK, city officials, you go to a store and
write a check for $230. What do you write
in your book that you spent?
A year from now there could be hun-
dreds, or even thousands, that dont add
up. Solution: Appoint someone to be ac-
countable, then fire him or her if not doing
the job.

Compassion for life
drives hospice helpers
I
read with interest the recent article on
hospice services (With boomers com-
ing, hospice industry diversifies, July
2).
Locally, we at Hospice Community Care,
a division of Celtic Healthcare, have been
honored to share in the lives of our hospice
patients for more than 19 years.
Our motto is compassion for life,
which echoes the articles message about
what hospice services provide. We have
gone fishing with our patients, taken our
patients to the casino and out for lobster
dinners.
Historically, hospice services were of-
fered exclusively by volunteers. Modern
hospice services are provided by a paid
clinical staff, but still a large component of
our program is provided by dedicated
volunteers who address the personal in-
terests of our patients.
If you want to learn more about our
volunteer opportunities or any of our hos-
pice services, contact me at 1-877-421-
0699.

Tea Party, supporters
ready to oust Obama
W
here is our country headed? In this
important election year, we need to
ask: Do we still want a land of oppor-
tunity, or do we want to live under govern-
ment control?
Recently, at a mini-mart, there was a
woman using her welfare card to buy ciga-
rettes, potato chips, lottery tickets and
batteries for her cellphone. She didnt have
to worry about her children; they were at a
city park being watched and fed by the
government. This might be the only meal
they get today, but mom gets her smokes!
Now we have a president who is running
for re-election on this theme. He wants
people to rely on government to tend to
their needs. He wants government to con-
trol its people.
What has President Obama actually
done for the American people? The econo-
my is a mess, unemployment is at record
highs, people have lost their life savings
and homes! Yet, he wants to be re-elected.
He has done nothing for the black com-
munity, and he doesnt need to. He fooled
them with handouts and smooth talk. He
owns them and he has their support. But
he needs more. He promised Hispanics
amnesty, knowing he has no power to do
that. Yet, if he can fool them for their
votes, that is all he wants.
But what he didnt anticipate was atten-
tive voters. Now, more than ever, people
are paying attention. They are seeing
through him and his rhetoric. He has cre-
ated an enormous debt for our children
and grandchildren, citizens are suffering,
the worlds countries no longer fear nor
respect us, and our country is becoming
more like Greece a country in turmoil
because its government can no longer
support all the overly generous benefits it
promised.
The good news: Americans are standing
up to this regression. We will not re-elect
this person, nor his supporters, such as

Sunday hunting backers
argue without merit
A
recent article by Tom Venesky (Sun-
day hunting proposal stalled, July 15)
addressed the issue of expanded hunt-
ing on Sundays and the group, Hunters
United for Sunday Hunting (HUSH),
which is seeking to sue the state over the
issue.
The issue of expanding hunting on Sun-
days is a dead issue for a number of rea-
sons, primarily because the overwhelming
majority of Pennsylvanians oppose the
idea. There is nothing illegal about the
current restrictions, as hunting already is
allowed for coyotes, fox and crows on
Sunday. This eliminates the so-called blue
law argument that HUSH is utilizing.
HUSH repeatedly refers to the right to
hunt in its arguments, yet that is a fallacy,
as there is no right to hunt in Pennsylva-
nia. The state Supreme Court already has
ruled, unanimously, on the issue.
Nor is it illegal that the Game Commis-
sion has no authority to expand hunting
on Sunday. The commission was created
by the Legislature to oversee the manage-
ment of all wildlife for all Pennsylvanians.
This is in accordance with Article 1, Sec-
tion 27 of the Pennsylvania Constitution,
which states, in part, Pennsylvanias pub-
lic natural resources are the common prop-
erty of all the people, including gener-
ations yet to come.
Expanding, let alone having open hunt-
ing (HUSHs ultimate goal), does not bene-
fit anyone but the single-digit (and shrink-
ing) minority of sportsmen who seek the
expansion all at the expense of far larger
segments of the population.
HUSH is nothing more than a hunting
activist organization that is backed by the
sport/trophy hunting industry. These are
groups which, for generations, have had
virtually every wish granted by the state
Legislature. Now they are seeking to have
the courts grant them what the Legisla-
ture, which is representing the people, will
not: essentially full control of public prop-
erty by unelected bureaucrats.
The suit, if and when it is filed, should
be tossed out, as it has no merit.

HERE IS A common
belief, particularly in
the nations more af-
fluent neighborhoods,
that teenagers are swamped
with homework and school-re-
lated commitments. Some
would have you believe that
U.S. students are working
around the clock and at great
risk to their health and well-be-
ing to deal with the daunting
academic load.
But while that might be true
for some, just how widespread
is this phenomenon? According
toa recent report, just the oppo-
site is going on.
Usingdatacollectedfromstu-
dent questionnaires, a recent re-
port from the Center for Amer-
ican Progress found that for
many teens and preteens,
school is simply too easy. Far
from being overworked, they
are hardly breaking a sweat in
some of their most important
subjects.
Take eighthgrade. According
to biennial surveys adminis-
teredby the National Center for
Education Statistics, 51percent
of eighth-grade civics students
and 57 percent of eighth-grade
history students say their work
is oftenor always tooeasy. Even
mathcanbe a breeze for at least
one out of every five students
at least thats what 12th-graders
say.
And its not just a question of
easy material. In many cases,
students arent being asked to
do much at school or home ei-
ther. Almost one-thirdof eighth-
graders reported reading fewer
than five pages a day either in
school or from material as-
signed as homework. Nearly 40
percent of high school seniors
say they have to write about
something theyve read at
school rarely, or at least nomore
often than twice per month.
There are limits, of course, to
how much one can surmise
fromthe self-reporting of teens.
But the survey results do sug-
gest that there is roomfor grea-
ter rigor in many public school
classrooms, whether its ele-
mentary, middle or highschool.

tears for the sizable
towns in Pennsylva-
nia that are going to
lose the revenue from traffic
tickets written on their roads
by state police. They still get to
keep a more lucrative freebie,
the use of state troopers in-
steadof locally fund-
ed officers to handle
all their lawenforce-
ment.
Its nothing short
of cop welfare a lo-
cal expense covered
by state taxpayers
for towns that, rela-
tively speaking, arent even
needy.
The loss of the ticket money
is due to the enactment of Sen-
ate Bill 237, which will take ef-
fect Sept. 3 in municipalities
with 3,000 or more people that
have no local police force.
Among the towns that will be
affected are Hempfield (pop-
ulation 42,000) in Westmore-
land County, White (16,000) in
Indiana County and Somerset
Township(12,000) inSomerset
County.
Municipalities with fewer
than 3,000 people and no local
police, most of them in rural
parts of Pennsylvania, will still
get tokeepthe50percent of the
ticket revenue generated by
state troopers intheir towns, as
allowed by current law. The
ticket revenue forgone by the
police-less towns with at least
3,000 residents, about $4 mil-
lion a year, will be used to train
more state police cadets.
A news article by the Pitts-
burgh Post-Ga-
zettes Tom
Barnes noted the
lost ticket reve-
nue $40,000 in
Hempfield, for in-
stance. But the
value of mooch-
ing off state tax-
payers for police protection is
much higher.
The Hempfields of this state
are no longer sleepy pastures
with more cows than people.
Theyre lucky Pennsylvania is
not forcing them to get off the
doleandpayfor their owncops,
as do other local governments.
Taking away their trooper
ticket revenue is only a small
stepintheright direction. If the
Legislature is truly concerned
about the states limited funds
and taxpayer fairness, it will
adopt a plan to force towns de-
pendent on state police to pay
for them.

A Diocese of Scranton priest
who was once assigned to sever-
al parishes in Luzerne County,
including a Catholic high school,
will face 32 charges in Tioga
County Court on allegations of
sexually assaulting an altar boy.
The Rev. Thomas P. Shoback,
60, of Wilkes-Barre, appeared
Wednesday at a preliminary
hearing before District Judge
James E. Carlson in Mansfield.
After a hearing that included
testimony from the victim in the
case, Carlson forwarded all 32
charges, which include involun-
tary deviate sexual intercourse,
endangering the welfare of chil-
dren and indecent assault, to
county court.
Shoback, who was charged in
June, will next appear for a for-
mal arraignment before a Tioga
County judge on Aug. 20. Sho-
back remains free on $35,000
bail and is represented by attor-
ney Christopher T. Powell, Jr., of
Scranton.
State police said the alleged
assaults took place from 1991
through 1997 when the boy was
11 to 17 years old while Shoback
was assigned at St. Marys Par-
ish in Blossburg, Tioga County.
Shoback was suspended by
the diocese in November when
allegations of sexual misconduct
surfaced.
According to the diocese, Sho-
back was ordained in 1977 and
served as pastor of St. Mary and
St. Andrew Parish in Blossburg
from February 1989 until July
1997.
He was previously assigned at
Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary
in Jermyn, Lackawanna County;
St. Josephs Parish and Sacred
Heart Parish in Plains Township;
Holy Redeemer Parish in Exeter
Township; St. Josephs Parish in
Hazleton; Nativity BVM in Ply-
mouth Township; Bishop Hoban
High School in Wilkes-Barre,
and parishes in Monroe and Ly-
coming counties.
Shoback was a teacher at
Bishop Hoban from 1984 to
1989.
According to The Times Lead-
er archives, Shobacks brother,
Edward J. Shoback, a former
Diocese of Scranton priest who
worked for more than 20 years at
Luzerne County parishes and
schools, was suspended in 2004
amid similar allegations of sex-
ual abuse.
Edward Shoback reportedly
admitted to those allegations
and was defrocked by the Vat-
ican in 2009.

STATE COLLEGE One ma-
jor Penn State donor says he
might write the university out of
his will, while others say neither
theJerrySanduskychildmolesta-
tionscandal norrecentunpopular
actions by the universitys leader-
ship are making them rethink
their financial support for the
school.
But how those issues resonate
with alumni and other financial
supporters groups whose phi-
lanthropy has sparked a building
boom on campus in recent years
could have repercussions for
decades to come.
Theuniversitysaysitstoosoon
to gauge the effect onfundraising
of the recent decisions to tear
downJoe Paternos statue andac-
quiesce to severe NCAA penal-
ties, but there are signs of discon-
tent.
I happentobelieve that giving
money to this particular board of
trustees and this particular presi-
dent is flushing it down the toi-
let, saidChicagoventurecapital-
ist George Middlemas, a $10 mil-
lion-plus donor and Joe Paterno
loyalist since they met in the
1960s. Theuniversitysays, Well,
our contributions are up. Thats
because people are fulfilling their
pledges, but theyre not going to
offer any new pledges, as far as I
can tell.
Middlemas said this week he
had plans to donate 50 percent of
his residual net worth to Penn
Stateafter hedied, but was recon-
sidering that decision.
The longer these bozos stayin
their position, theeasier itsgoing
tobeformetosignthepaperwork
thats in process right now, he
said.
Super donor Lloyd Huck, a re-
tired Merck & Co. chairman and
former president of the schools
trustees, calledthe scandal a ter-
rible situation, but he sees it as
confined to several people and
not somethingthat will causehim
tohalt his contributions, whichat
last count totaled more than $40
million.
It has not changedmyattitude
towards the university itself,
Hucksaid. Itsstill agreat institu-
tion.
Bob Capretto, an Oakmont,
Pa., real estateinvestoranddonor
who played defensive back on Pa-
ternos first team, isnt satisfied
witharecent report conductedby
former FBI Director Louis Freeh
but said that wont stop himfrom
givinginthefuture. HesaidPater-
no wouldnt want that.
State College developer Galen
Dreibelbis, listed among Penn
States $5 million-plus donors,
said he hasnt decided if his phi-
lanthropy will continue, but ei-
ther way, he does not want any of
his moneybeingusedtopaya$60
million fine imposed by the
NCAA.
Im going to do what the
NCAAdidnt do, Dreibelbis said.
Im going to wait to see all the
things that happened, and see
what the clear effect of this (is),
and then Ill evaluate for myself.
Penn State announced earlier
this month that its $2 billion For
the Future campaign, set to con-
cludein2014, hasreached$1.6bil-
lionaheadof schedule, andthat it
had received $209 million over
the previous year, the second-
highest total in its history.
Ira Stolzer, a retired Hallmark
Cards Inc. marketing executive
and a member of the universitys
national championship gymnas-
tics team in the 1970s, has been
active in fundraising among for-
mer PennState athletes as part of
the campaign.
I can tell you Ive been on the
phonenonstopforaweek, andthe
single theme is: how can we
help? said Stolzer, who lives in
Kansas City, Kan.
Some alumni are considering a
court challenge to the NCAA
sanctions, although their legal
standing isnt clear. Penn Staters
for Responsible Stewardship, a
group critical of the trustees
formed in the wake of Sanduskys
scandal, is pursuing what it calls
anexplorationof legal recourse.

In Wilkes-Barre, the storm
damaged the filter on the pool at
Kistler Elementary, forcing the
city to close the pool until fur-
ther notice. Drew McLaughlin,
administrative coordinator, said
the city is working on repairing
the pump and will reopen the
pool as soon as possible.
The stormalso knocked down
numerous trees throughout the
region, including at the Wyom-
ing Valley Country Club in Ha-
nover Township. The damage
forced the course to temporarily
close Friday. It reopened around
noon.
For most residents the biggest
issue was loss of power. At the
height of the storm, PPLElectric
Utilities had about 77,872 cus-
tomers without power in its 29-
county coverage area, including
4,000 in Luzerne County, said
company spokeswoman Melin-
da Stumpf.
UGI Electric reported about
600 customers in Luzerne Coun-
ty were without power at some
point Thursday into Friday.
In a press release, Kirk Blume-
nau, a spokesman for PPL Elec-
tric Utilities, said it expected to
restore a substantial number of
customers to service Friday, but
warned that damage in some ar-
eas particularlytheSusquehan-
na County region is extensive
and the pace of repairs may be
slow.
As of 10:17 p.m. Friday, 285
PPL customers remained with-
out power in Luzerne County.
The largest outages were in Exe-
ter Township, 128; Sugarloaf
Township, 47; Black Creek
Township, 34; and Hazleton, 26.
Blumenau said the company
faces a large number of individu-
al trouble cases. That means the
pace of repairs will be slower in
someareas becauseeachindivid-
ual job will restore only a few
customers.
The company has dispatched
a total of 810 linemen, electri-
cians, tree crews and logistics
crews toworkonthe restoration.
It is also requesting mutual as-
sistance from other utilities in
the mid-Atlantic.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) Zack
Greinke has been traded by
the Milwaukee Brewers to the
Los Angeles Angels for rookie
shortstop Jean Segura and
two minor league pitchers.
The Angels also sent
right-handers Ariel Pena and
RHP Johnny Hellweg to
Milwaukee in the deal
announced Friday night
before Los Angeles played
Tampa Bay.
By landing Greinke, Los
Angeles acquired perhaps the
most prized pitcher available
before Tuesdays trade
deadline. The 2009 AL Cy
Young Award winner is 9-3
with a 3.44 ERA in 21 starts
for Milwaukee this season.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. A four-
run first inning was the perfect
impetus for the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees, who held
off the Charlotte Knights for a 6-4
victory Friday night.
Brandon Laird belted two
home runs, his 11th and 12th of
the season, in the win. His two-
run shot in the first inning ex-
tended the Yankees lead. His so-
lo shot in the fifth staked the vis-
itors to a 6-3 lead.
Seven Yankees had hits, paced
by Lairds two.
The Yankees opened the scor-
ing with all of their first-inning
runs coming with two down in
the frame. Darnell McDonald
stole second and used two errors
to score in front of Lairds homer.
FranciscoCervelli singled, stole a
base and scored on Kevin Russos
single to make it 4-0.
After Charlotte scored two
runs in the bottomof the second,
Gustavo Molinas double in the
third plated Cole Garner to ex-
tend the Yankees lead to 5-2.
Knights first baseman Dan
Johnson hit a solo shot in the
fourth inning for his 23rd home
run of the season.
Adam Warren scattered six
hits over six innings to earn the
win, improving to 6-6. He struck
out six and walked one. Ryota Ig-
arashi worked a scoreless ninth
inning for his fifth save.
Charles Leesman (8-9) took
the loss, allowing six runs -- two
earned and eight hits.
The Yankees face Pawtucket
for four games to close out the
month. The first two are in
Rhode Island, starting tonight.
Monday and Tuesday, the teams
will play in Rochester, N.Y.
With a 60-47 record, the Yan-
kees are a -game ahead of the
PawSox in the ILNorth, with the

INDIANAPOLIS For driv-
ers, Saturdays first-ever NAS-
CAR Nationwide Series race at
the Indianapolis Motor Speed-
wayrepresents achancetorunon
perhaps the most famous track in
racing.
It is also one of the tougher
tests they will face all season.
The historic 2.5-mile oval has
hosted NASCARs top-level se-
ries, now known as Sprint Cup,
since 1994 but didnt add the sec-
ond-tier Nationwide Series until
this year. For many drivers in the
field, it will be their first time rac-
ingat Indy andthey are infor a
challenge.
This place is not forgiving at
all, Nationwide points leader El-
liott Sadler said. Its fast, the cor-
ners aresharp. Youvegot tobeon
your money, I think, to run some
fast laps here.
Sadler raced at Indianapolis 12
times in Cup, including a third-
place finish in 2004 and a fourth-
place finish in 2008.
Hesaidthetrackscombination
of long, high-speedstraightaways
and sharp, unbanked turns make
it one of the toughest to master.
Banking makes us drivers
look good, because it makes it
more forgiving, Sadler said.
The banking can catch you if
youre tight or if youre loose and
you can move around on the
track. Here, youve got to run the
bottom, itsveryflat soif youover-
drive the corner, the car takes off
on you, theres no banking to
catch you. Its a very tough, hard,
momentum place to race at, and
its goingtotake these guys a race
or two to understand what they
need, especially when youre (in)
traffic with 42 other cars around
you.
Tough? Sure, but Sadler is
thrilledtobeback. Without aCup
ride, he didnt get to race at Indy
last year.
You know how you dont ever
know how much youre going to
miss something until youre not
there? It killed me not to be here
at the big track last year, Sadler
said.
The challenge certainly
doesnt diminish the thrill of get-
ting to run at Indy for brothers
Austin and Ty Dillon, the grand-
sons of NASCAR team owner Ri-
chard Childress.
I asked them both what it felt
like, Childress said. I could see
the smile on their face. They
didnt have to even say anything
(toshow) howspecial it was tobe
able to drive around and to be
able to come to Indianapolis to
race because there is somuchhis-
tory.
Austin Dillon said drivers who
have raced at Indy in Cup will
have an advantage on Saturday.
I thinkits verytough, because
it invites you into the corner be-
cause theres so much grip. The
grip level is high, its very smooth
and its easy to overdrive.
Having Nationwide race at the
big track instead of at Lucas
Oil Raceway, a nearby short track
is part of Indianapolis Motor
Speedway officials push to put
more action on the track in hopes
of boosting sagging attendance.
NASCAR drew huge crowds at
Indy for more than a decade. And
while drawing more than100,000
fans is impressive for any event,
attendance at the Brickyard has
steadily declined in recent years.
(It) just raises the level of the
entire sport having other motor-
sports being able to participate
here, said Chip Ganassi, who
owns teams in NASCAR and In-
dyCar. Its still the worlds center
of racing, and still arguably the
greatest race course in the world
in any configuration. ... The elec-
tricityat this place, it doesnt mat-
ter what you show up in. Its a
magical center of motorsports.
After having Nationwide cars
practice Thursday, Indianapolis
took a one-day break from NAS-
CAR on Friday to host the Grand
Am sports car series on the road
course, part of which winds
through the tracks expansive in-
field. The Nationwide race is Sat-
urday, withtheCupseriesonSun-
day.
I think its neat that theyre
running so many (different se-
ries) withthe roadcourse andthe
oval, Sadler said. To me, in to-
days world, with ticket prices
and people not able to travel, this
gives thema really good bang for
their buck, to have this many dif-
ferent styles of racingandcars go-
ing on at the racetrack.
Danica Patricks IndyCar days
helped her develop an apprecia-
tion for the tracks place in histo-
ry, and hopes others in Nation-
wide will walk away from Indy
feeling the same way.
Imdetermined to make them
all love it, and to make them see
what I see, Patrick said.

S P O R T S
just so fortunate. Over every
Olympics, everyone has raved
about the venue, from Sydney
on. We have such a historical
site.
Beach volleyball in the heart
of central London will high-
light Olympic competitionSat-
urday, along with the first
swimming medals. American
rivals Michael Phelps andRyan
Lochte will face off in the 400-
meter individual medley.
Two-time U.S. defending
gold medalist pair Kerri Walsh
Jennings and Misty May-Trea-
nor will be the feature matchin
the beach volleyball grand-
stand.
Its amazing. Just this area
in itself is so special, said
Walsh Jennings, who has had
two boys since Beijing. You
have the Horse Guards right
there and the changing of the
guard and you get to see this
and all the historic culture. Re-
ally, really cool. Ive been pic-
turing this for so long, and to
see it in person and have it
come alive is awesome.
It doesnt hurt that the 6-
foot-2 star can walk right up to
a 25-foot color statue of herself
in a blue bikini showing off her
ripped abdominal muscles.
Many volunteers stop to take a
closer look, andfans are sure to
do the same.
And to think this open-air
venue came together in an as-
tonishing 35 days, beginning
June18 at the conclusionof the
queens annual Trooping the
Colour birthday parade.
Architect Peter Richardson
and lead project manager Dun-
canFirthspent Fridayperform-
ing final checks and working
out any potential last kinks.
For a venue of this magni-
tude, built in this time scale, it
has never really been done be-
fore, Firth said. The Ameri-
cans have said this is the equiv-
alent of having beach volley-
ball on the lawn of the White
House. This will never happen
again.
And it will be torn down af-
ter the games.
Its here for12days andthen
its coming down. Its so disap-
pointing, Richardson said.
The original concept was to
keep London as the backdrop.
Hepulledit off beautifully
and what more might a fan
want, without the queen wav-
ingfromthe Horse Guards bal-
cony, of course?
The public address announ-
cer sure had fun with his final
tuneup under gray skies and
light rain Friday, repeatedly
calling a British victory as the
ever-changing music blared
through an empty 15,000-seat
arena biggest yet by far for
beach volleyball.
Walsh Jennings and May-
Treanor will open Olympic
pool play against Australians
Tamsin Hinchley and Natalie
Cook, who is competing in her
fifth and final Olympics.
Were so lucky, said Hin-
chley, a three-time Australian
Olympian who got married
and had 2
1
2-year-old son, Arley,
after Beijing. Weve heard its
the best venue. The backdrop,
from the London Eye and all
the buildings, you know youre
in London.
Hinchley handed over her
two allotted tickets for Satur-
days first match to her rela-
tives tofight over whogot tobe
in the seats to see it.
Rogers plans to purchase
twoextra tickets whenhe plays
so he can take care of his sup-
porters. Those who do get in
for any portion of the tourna-
ment are in for a treat.
Its beautiful, said Dutch
coach Michiel Van Der Kuip.
Ive never seensomething like
this before.

OPENING
Continued from Page 1B
NEW YORK Even before
NBCsigned on for its coverage of
the Summer Olympics inLondon
on Friday, it drew a storm online
for its decision not to stream the
opening ceremony digitally. De-
spite the grumbling, its a deci-
sion that may pay off for the net-
work.
NBC Universal has promised
to streamlive online every athlet-
ic competition in the Summer
Games for the first time. But the
opening and closing ceremonies
were always planned to be shown
on tape delay, a network spokes-
man said. Coverage began short-
ly before 8 p.m. on the East
Coast, about the same time that
spectators in London which is
five hours ahead of New York
time were filing out of Olym-
pic Stadium.
NBC Sports spokesman Chris-
topher McCloskey said the cere-
monies are complex entertain-
ment spectacles that do not
translate well online because
they require context, which our
award-winning production team
will provide for the large prime-
time audiences that gather to-
gether to watch them.
Many people tooktoTwitter to
complain Friday that they felt
cheated by the decision, and pro-
vided online links to other out-
lets, like the BBC, that were
streaming the ceremony online.
The website for Business In-
sider said boo about NBCs de-
cision and offered two links. The
popular sports website Deadspin
posted a link to the BBC stream
andurgedits followers towatchit
as a way of sending NBC an ob-
scene gesture.
CNNs Piers Morgan, who was
tweeting details about the cere-
mony in the late afternoon,
tweeted shortly before 7:30 p.m.
ET: Laughable that America is
yet tostart watchingthe Olympic
ceremony on TV. Seriously.
But NBCexecutives will gladly
trade the complaints for a repeat
of what happened four years ago
in Beijing.
The network similarly offered
the opening ceremony then on
tape delay and there were many
complaints, although less wide-
spread because of a less wired
world. But all the talk about the
ceremony in the hours before it
was televised created a buzz, and
the 34.9 million people who
watched it was the largest open-
ing ceremony audience in 12
years.

LONDONIts not a concert,
Danny Boyle stressed. Its about
the athletes.
In a very real way, though, the
director of the Olympic opening
ceremony was wrong.
While sports are the heart of
the Olympics, music loud,
bold, world-conquering British
music, amplified in the most
global of settings was the
booming beat Friday night.
One of Boyles stated aims was
to showcase the best of us
and ever since the Beatles and
the Rolling Stones appropriated
American blues, country and
rockandremade themintosome-
thing new, the best of British has
been music.
Music ran like a river through
Boyles Isles of Wonder extrava-
ganza, which depicted a Britain
brutally wrenched from its rural
past by industrialization and up-
heaval before being thrust into a
fast, uncertain, exciting new
world all propelled by the
throb of homegrown music.
It began gently, with Edward
Elgar, the hymn Jerusalem and
Danny Boy but soon started
to rock.
Olympic ceremonies oftenplay
it safe. But Boyle, who brought in
the electronic duoUnderworldas
musical directors, gave his show
a cheeky edge. The Sex Pistols,
once the outrageous face of punk,
were included with their song
Pretty Vacant. Boyle even
slipped in a few bars of the Pis-
tols snarling God Save the
Queen (the fascist regime)
early on although he respect-
fully did it before Queen Eliza-
beth II herself had entered the
stadium.
Normally it would be brushed
over, but the punk spirit which is
in Britain was written through
the ceremony, he said. Anyone
cynical about this has no lust for
life. Its just bloody brilliant.
In parts, it was like a Union
Jack jukebox a medley of
tracks from the Beatles and the
Rolling Stones, David Bowie and
Queen, the Specials and the Jam,
the Stone Roses and Eurythmics,
and what seemed like dozens
more.
The musical melange contin-
ued during the athletes parade,
withmembers of the 204national
teams circling the track to every-
thing from West End Girls by
the Pet ShopBoys andRollingin
the Deep by Adele.
And of course the evening
could not have been complete
without a Beatle a rousing live
performance from Paul McCart-
ney, still rocking at 70.

ARCHERY
Legally blind South Korean
sets a world record
Legally blind archer Im Dong-hyun
set the first world records of the Lon-
don Olympics, breaking his own record
in the 72-arrow mark and helping
South Korea set a team record in the
ranking round on Friday.
Im broke the record he had set in
Turkey in May by three points with a
score of 699, hours before the 2012
Games official opening ceremony.
This is just the first round, so I will
not get too excited by it, said Im, who
has 10 percent vision in his left eye and
20 percent in his right.
He combined with Kim Bub-min and
Oh Jin-hyek, smashing the record for
216 arrows with a total 2,087. That was
18 better than the mark South Korea
set in May.
The 26-year-old Im has said that
when he looks at the targets, he sees
colors with blurred lines between
them. He does not wear glasses in
competition, saying he relies on dis-
tinguishing between the bright colors
of the target.
He won gold medals in the team
event at the 2008 Beijing and 2004
Athens Olympics.
Spectators hoping to catch a glimpse
of the action were turned away from
Lords cricket ground.
Preliminary rounds were listed as
non-ticketed, so several thousand spec-
tators showed up at the venue expect-
ing to get in for free.
A spokeswoman for the London
Games organizing committee said
tickets were not advertised or sold for
the qualifying events and we have
always made it clear that the early
competitions were not open for specta-
tors.
WOMENS BASKETBALL
US team ready to start
Diana Taurasi says she and the U.S.
womens basketball team are ready to
get rid of the anxiousness and nerv-
ousness that come with being at the
Olympics.
She says the only way to do that is
play games which begin Saturday.
The U.S. begins its quest for a fifth
straight gold medal against Croatia, a
team the Americans beat 109-55 a week
ago in Istanbul.
The U.S. has only had two weeks
together to train since the WNBA sea-
son went on its Olympic hiatus. But
anything less than another gold medal
would be considered a colossal failure
for the overwhelming favorite US team.
Despite the lopsided exhibition vic-
tory, Taurasi expects the Croatians will
play better Saturday.
Croatia star Marija Vrsaljko will play
after missing the blowout to get mar-
ried.
BOXING
Turkish official dies
LONDON Olympic boxing official
Garip Erkuyumcu was found dead in
his London hotel room, the Interna-
tional Boxing Association said Friday.
Garip was loved and respected by
everyone who knew him and he will be
missed by all of us at AIBA, said C.K.
Wu, the governing bodys president.
Turkish Boxing Federation head
Bayram Altug said a colleague found
73-year-old Erkuyumcu dead in his bed
on Thursday.
A heart attack was suspected but
autopsy results were expected to deter-
mine the exact cause of death, the
Turkish boxing body said.
Erkuyumcu was a member of AIBAs
refereeing and judging commission and
would have been assisting boxing refer-
ees at the London Olympics.
Erkuyumcus body will be flown back
to Turkey next week, the national fed-
eration said.

LONDON Mark Cavendish spent
the first three weeks of July carrying bot-
tles for Bradley Wiggins, dedicating
himself to the Londoners ambition to
win the Tour de France.
The world cham-
pions hard work
paid off, and nowits
his turn to take the
limelight as an en-
tire country is ex-
pecting the Manx
Missile to win the
first British gold
medal of the London
Olympics.
Cavendish, the
worlds fastest
sprinter, has spent
the last 12 months
training for Satur-
days 155-mile Olympic road race, which
passes some of Londons most iconic
landmarks andmore important to the
riders features the tricky Box Hill
climb in Surrey that the peloton will
tackle nine times.
If he remains in contention after the
last climb, about 25 miles from a pan-
cake-flat finish, the 27-year-old sprinter
has got all it takes to win the final sprint
down the Mall.
I know if I make it to the sprint Im
the fastest rider in the world, but Imnot
the fastest climber in the world, Caven-
dishsaid. Imconfident about the sprint
but Ive got to get to the sprint.
Cavendish changed his training re-
gimen and lost nine pounds this year to
be able to stay with other contenders in
Box Hill, where the race is expected to
be won or lost.
With coach Rod Ellingworth, he care-
fully previewed the narrow roads lead-
ing up to the top of the small ascent, rid-
ing it several times and paying attention
to every detail of the course to be ready
on Saturday, when a million of people
are expected to line the route.
Cavendish said the timing of the race
and the huge expectations from the
home nation dont add weight on his
shoulders, yet he admitted feeling some
pressure over the past few days.
An Olympic medal, regardless if its
the first or last on offer, its an Olympic
medal for your team, he said. Its easy
to get emotional about it. Ive been nerv-
ous this week. Weve trainedtobe able to
deal with those nerves and weve got to
put it to bed. Weve got a process which
we have to adhere to. Its a process we
knowif wecommit100percent wevegot
the best chance of winning.
Regarded as the fastest man on a bike,
Cavendish has not been as successful on
the Tour as in previous years, but still
managed to win three stages, including
the final one on the Champs Elysees,
which is regarded as the world cham-
pionships for sprinters.
Mark thrives on a big stage, British
cycling performance director Dave
Brailsford said. Youve got to give him
credit for that, and stand back and ad-
mire his ability to take on that big stage
and deliver time and time again. He
workedextremely hardandhes got him-
self in a fantastic shape.

LONDON The retiring star
with more gold medals than anyone.
The friendly rival who intends to be
the biggest star in London.
Michael Phelps vs. Ryan Lochte.
What a way to start eight days of
swimming at the Olympic pool!
The two Americans will go head-
to-head Saturday in the 400-meter
individual medley, a grueling race
encompassingall four strokes, anap-
propriate way for one or the other to
fire the first salvo in this most intri-
guing of rivalries.
A very rough race, said Phelps
coach, Bob Bowman, smiling at the
possibilities. It will be a coachs
dream, but also a spectators dream.
It will be fantastic.
For Phelps, its a chance to add to
his record total of 14 gold medals
and become the first male swimmer
to win the same event at three
straight Olympics. But Lochte is the
defending world champion and de-
feated Phelps rather easily at the
U.S. trials last month.
Lochte is certainly not lacking for
confidence.
Right after Beijing, I had a four-
year plan for get-
ting here to Lon-
don, he said. I
thought I could
go a lot faster. I
knew I could,
just because of
the training Ive
done. Thats
why I knew this
was going to be
my year.
Lochte start-
ed following the
same training
regimen used by
burly athletes
who can compete in Strongman
competitions rolling large tires,
tossing kegs, dragging chains. He
believes its made himstronger than
anyone else in the pool. He believes
its the edge he needs to beat Phelps,
and everyone else.
Its going to pay off, Lochte said.
I just know it.
The Phelps-Lochte showdown
wont be the only event on the open-
ing night of swimming.
The home crowd will be cheering
on Britains Hannah Miley in the
womens 400 IM, where shell be
competing against American teen-
ager ElizabethBeisel andCalifornia-
basedKatinka Hosszu, the latest ina
long line of Hungarian medley spe-
cialists. The mens 400 freestyle fig-
ures to be a tussle among Chinas
Sun Yang, South Koreas Park Tae-
hwan and Frances Yannick Angel.
Ranomi Kromowidjojoleads theFly-
ing Dutch in the womens 4x100 free
relay, an event the Netherlands won
at thelast Olympics andthepast two
world championships.
The Americans will look to chal-
lenge with a relay squad that poten-
tially includes Natalie Coughlin,
who won six medals in Beijing but
didnt even qualify for an individual
event for these games. The 29-year-
old was knocked off at the U.S. trials
by an emerging wave of teenage
stars, including Missy Franklin.
Without a strong showing in the
preliminaries, she might not even
get a chance to swim the evening fi-
nal. But, if the Americans finish on
the podium, a morning swim would
begoodenoughtogiveCoughlinthe
12th medal of her career, tying Dara
Torres and Jenny Thompson as

We always try and do a little better,
Raisman said with the hint of a smirk,
maybe intimidate thema bit.
If there were any doubts the Ameri-
can women are the ones to beat at the
London Olympics, theyve been erased
by the amateur espionage the last few
days.
When the Americans opened Thurs-
days podium training session with a
barrage of Amanars, the high-scoring
vaults that might very well decide the
gold medal, a Chi-
nese coach made
sure he had a front-
row seat. Russian
coach Alexander
Alexandrov just
happened to make
his way to the bath-
room when the
Americans were
doing vault one
day, and couldnt
resiststoppingfora
minute or two.
They watch us,
we dont watch them, U.S. coach John
Geddert said.
Now, before the Americans are ac-
cused of being overconfident, theyve
had their London plan in mind for a
while now. The gymnasts upgraded
their routines months ago, and those
monster vaults have been in the works
for several years. If theRussians, Roma-
nians or defending Olympic champion

not a whole lot the Americans can do

That, of course, would be in
reference to the NCAA sanctions
that came down on Monday. In
his first public comments since
then, Joyner discussed where
Penn State football -- and the ath-
letic department as a whole --
will go from there.
Joyner said he saw the con-
sent agreement outlining the pe-
nalties two or three days be-
fore it was announced to the
public.
My understanding is (the
NCAA) had every right to do
this, Joyner said. In extraordin-
ary times they have rights to
take these extraordinary mea-
sures. Its not my fight to tell the
NCAA what their rules are. Its
my job to follow them.
Its not my job to define fair
or unfair. Its the system were in.
Im happy to be able to move on.
We have no choice. Were in a
cage, so we have to come out like
cagefighters.
And move on the school will.
On the football side of things,
Joyner said he is already in dis-
cussions to schedule marquee
opponents and games in warmer
climates for upcoming non-con-
ference slates in light of the
teams four-year postseason ban.
Joyner said he did not believe
that Penn State would be eligible
for an NCAA clause that allows
teams to schedule a 13th regular
season game on the road against
Hawaii, but that the team is still
exploring its options.
As it stands now, Penn States
final game for those next four
years will be against Leaders Di-
vision rival Wisconsin. With that
in mind, Joyner and Wisconsin
athletic director Barry Alvarez
have agreed to turn that contest
into a trophy game, with market-
ing departments from both
schools starting work on names
and designs.
Most importantly, Joyner said,
is that Bill OBrien will be
around to lead the team. OBrien
revealed Wednesday that his
contract was automatically ex-
tended four years through 2020
because of the NCAA penalties.
We didnt knowif we were go-
ing to need to have that, but I
think it was a wise move on both
his part and our part to do that.
Because we didnt know how
this was going to play out. Im
very happy we did that back
then, as Im sure he is, as that
lets him do what he has to do in
these next four years.
I think hes the right guy at
the right time to lead us.
Joyner said the athletic de-
partment will also review the
much-debated STEP ticket pro-
gram (Seat Transfer and Equity
Plan) for football games, which
requires season-ticket holders to
donate to change their seat in
the stadium.
Weve actually talked to some
alums and some of them who
have ideas about it, and were lis-
tening to them, Joyner said. It
was our intention to take a very
long look at the STEP program.
We didnt have enough time this
year the way things unfolded.
Its been my intention to re-
look at the STEP program for
the next season. Now well re-
look at the STEP program based
on what we know the world is
right now. So I dont know what
well do, if anything, but well re-
look at it.
With other financial concerns,
Joyner said the department is al-
ready planning how to deal with
the estimated $73 million it will
lose from NCAA and Big Ten
sanctions.
Its not coming from our ex-
isting other 30 sports, Joyner
said. We cant cut -- and nor
would we want to -- anything
from those other sports. And so
well look at capital maintenance
budgets, maybe delay painting
some buildings. Look at those
things. Well probably do bulk of
it from an internal loan. And the
university does that a lot, not
just with athletics.
Penn State will also try to be
creative with bringing in reve-
nue. Joyner said the school had
previously looked into hosting
an outdoor hockey game and the
logistics of building a temporary
ice rink at Beaver Stadium.
RULES

punishment, Emmert talked
mainly about the possibility of
reopening the issue to impose
further penalty, if warranted.
What we, of course, expect
and whats intended by the cor-
rective measures ... is to work
with them to make sure that
they implement the terms of
(the sanctions), Emmert said.
We have full expectation that all
of the terms of that agreement
will be implemented. Should
they not be, we reserve the right
to reopen this case.
Penn State acting athletic di-
rector Dave Joyner said he be-
lieved that revisiting the consent
decree, which outlines the penal-
ties against the Nittany Lions,
would only occur in the negative
sense.
Certainly the NCAA has the
right to re-open the (consent
decree), Joyner said. And I
think the feeling is, thats if we
dont do things correctly in fol-
lowing it. Its never been said
that we would open it if were
doing a really good job.
On the other hand, not being
an attorney, I cant say whether
theyd be permitted to do that or
not.
As OBrien put it, Theres a
lot of questions we have of the
NCAA. Its a constantly evolving
situation.
OBrien, who was hired in Ja-
nuary, has inherited a sizable
mess brought on by the universi-
tys previous leadership. The af-
termath of the Jerry Sandusky
scandal has sparked reform and
a call for openness, which began
before Mondays judgment by
the NCAA.
Still only a few days removed
from the announcement,
OBrien urged fans and alumni
to move forward.
Stop arguing and stop worry-
ing about NCAA sanctions and
arguing about what the Freeh re-
port said and get going, OBrien
said. Accept the changes. Em-
brace them. And get ready to
support this football team.
OBrien did say, however, that
he understands the frustration
and raw emotions that have
come from people with Penn
State ties this week. Because he
has felt some of it, too.
If youve been around me,
you know I have a little bit of a
temper, OBrien said. There
were times, obviously where...
you know, Id be lying to you if I
said I wasnt a little bit angry.
But you waste a lot of time if
thats how youre going to spend
your day.
Instead, OBrien and his staff
have had some brainstorming
sessions this week about the fu-
ture of the program. The walk-on
program will likely be expanded
because of scholarship reduc-
tions, with OBrien saying he
will likely do away with the term
walk-on.
In a similar vein, the Lions
may look at more junior college
prospects out of necessity, some-
thing the team very rarely did
under Joe Paterno.
And there is still that little
matter of the uniforms.
OBrien and players have hint-
ed that they might be changed in
some way -- possibly even for the
Sept. 1 opener against Ohio.
The coach again did not elab-
orate on any potential changes
on Friday. But did he have a
message.
Its a new era. Changes were
made in 1966, probably. Right?
OBrien said, referencing the
year Paterno took over as head
coach. Changes are going to be
made in 2012.

CHICAGO -- The players --
the ones who will stay behind
-- are still trying to find the
right balance.
Penn State players want to
get in the ear of their team-
mates who are undecided
about their futures while giving
them some time and space at
the same time.
Everyone has to make his
own decision, junior guard
John Urschel said. You cant
rush someone with something
like this.
But with preseason camps
opening soon across the coun-
try -- Penn States first time in
uniform will be Aug. 6 -- there
is definitely a sense of urgency.
So it is for a group of Nitta-
ny Lions who are taking this
weekend to tour other campus-
es before making a decision.
ESPN reported Friday that
three Penn State players --
tailback Silas Redd, linebacker
Khairi Fortt and offensive line-
man Ryan Nowicki -- will be on
the West Coast, visiting USC,
Cal and Washington, respec-
tively.
Other reports by multiple
recruiting services have kicker
Anthony Fera interested in
Texas and tight end Kevin
Haplea checking out Florida
State.
Linebacker Michael Mauti
said he only knew of about
"three or four" players who are
seriously considering transfer-
ring.
Redd is the one in the big-
gest spotlight. Penn States
leading rusher from last season
will have a tough decision
indeed with a national title
contender like the Trojans
interested in bringing him
aboard for this season.
Penn State coach Bill
OBrien said he has talked to
Redd, who has been back at
his home in Connecticut this
week, but has not said much
about his starting tailbacks
situation.
"Our core group of best play-
ers has told me theyre coming
back," OBrien said when asked
about Redds future.
Later on Friday, he expanded
his thoughts on the man who
would be one of the biggest
weapons on offense.
I feel like Silas and I have a
great relationship, OBrien
said. I have a lot of respect for
Silas. Hes a heck of a kid and
a heck of a player. He has great
respect for Penn State. He
comes from a great family. So I
think I have a very good rela-
tionship with Silas.
Sticking around
True freshman Nyeem Wart-
man of Valley View High
School announced Friday he
would remain at Penn State on
his Twitter account.
Also pledging to stay were
quarterbacks Paul Jones and
Steven Bench.

Some players head out
on a recruiting swing
By DEREK LEVARSE
dlevarse@timesleader.com
ANCASTER, Ontario
Scott Piercy is discovering that
not everything you dislike is
bad for you.
After two rounds in the Cana-
dian Open, Piercy had a share
of the lead with William McGirt
and had seen just about
enough of Hamilton Golf and
Country Club.
This golf course takes the
juices out of it for me, Piercy
said Friday after following his
opening 8-under 62 with a 67 to
match the tournament 36-hole
scoring record at 11-under 129.
McGirt had a 67 in the sec-
ond round on the classic Harry
S. Colt-designed course.
Robert Garrigus was two
strokes back after a 66, and Bo
Van Pelt was 9 under after a 66.
Tim Clark, Vijay Singh and Josh
Teater were 8 under. Clark had
a 62, Singh shot 67, and Teater
65.
Bud Cauley had a 63 to join
Troy Matteson and Camilo
Villegas at 7 under. Villegas had
a 64, and Matteson shot 68.
British Open champion Ernie
Els missed the cut with rounds
of 72 and 70.
Its unfortunate I didnt have
my game with me, Els said.
Theres always next time.
The tight, tree-lined layout
demands precision and often
forces players to play it safe.
This golf is boring golf for
me, said Piercy, the Reno-
Tahoe Open winner last year
for his lone PGA Tour title. Im
not going for it. Im not trying
to put my foot on the acceler-
ator. Im kind of touch and go.
McGirt was in much better
spirits after a round that in-
cluded a 50-foot birdie putt
from the fringe on No. 8. Hes
winless on the PGA Tour, and
cautious about getting too far
ahead of himself.
There are still 36 holes left,
McGirt said. There is a lot of
golf left.
Van Pelt sent up a roar when
he holed out from143 yards for
eagle on No. 9 his last hole
of the day. Clark reeled off six
birdies and added a holed-out
eagle of his own to match the
course record with the 62.
It was obviously a great day
for me, Clark said. Im excit-
ed. It is nice to be back up in
Canada. I have some good
memories up here. The course
suits me well, too, and Ive
enjoyed playing.
Rain left the greens soft and
receptive, and gave players the
opportunity to lift, clean and
place their golf balls in the
fairway for both rounds. With
more rain expected early Sat-
urday, a compressed third
round will be played with three-
somes going off both tees.
Five of the 23 Canadian play-
ers survived the cut, led by
David Hearn. He was seven
strokes back after his second
straight 68.
I was steady again today. I
just didnt make quite as many
birdies as I would have liked,
Hearn said. Im certainly not
out of reach for this tourna-
ment guys are shooting 62s
and 63s. If I was to get hot
tomorrow and put one of those
in, you never know whatll
happen.
SENIOR BRITISH OPEN
TURNBERRY, Scotland
American Gary Hallberg shot a
7-under 63 in the windy second
round of the Senior British
Open to take a three-stroke lead
over Bernhard Langer and Tom
Lehman.
Hallberg was 6 under on
Turnberrys Ailsa Course. Lan-
ger followed his opening 64
with a 73. Lehman had a 71. Jeff
Sluman was 2 under after a 68.
Fred Couples was tied for
ninth at even par after a 68.
Tom Watson was 10 strokes
back after a 75. He lost a playoff
to Stewart Cink in the 2009
British Open at Turnberry, and
won the 1977 British Open and
2003 Senior British Open at the
course. The 62-year-old Amer-
ican is a five-time British Open
winner and three-time Senior
British Open champion.
Englands Roger Chapman,
the Senior PGA and U.S. Senior
Open winner, withdrew before
the round because of a neck
injury. He shot a 72 on Thurs-
day.
Greg Norman missed the cut
with rounds of 72 and 77.
EVIAN MASTERS
EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France
American Stacy Lewis shot a
3-under 69 to top the Evian
Masters leaderboard at 12 un-
der, a stroke ahead of South
Koreas Ilhee Lee.
Lewis opened with a 63 on
Thursday. Lee followed her
opening 66 with a 67.
South Koreas Inbee Park and
American Paula Creamer were
9 under. Park had a 64, and
Creamer shot 7.
Natalie Gulbis, the 2007
winner for her lone LPGA Tour
title, was tied for ninth at 6
under after her second straight
69. Cheyenne Woods, Tiger
Woods niece, made the cut for
the first time in three LPGA
Tour starts, shooting a 69 to
reach 4 under.
LYONESS OPEN
ATZENBRUGG, Austria
Denmarks Thorbjorn Olesen
shot a 4-under 68 to take a
three-stroke lead over Swedens
Rikard Karlberg after the third
round of the Lyoness Open.
Olesen, the Sicilian Open
winner in April, was 16 under at
Diamond Country Club. Karl-
berg shot a 66.

The Associated Press
Franco Harris and two other
former Penn State football play-
ers say the report about Penn
States handling of the Jerry
Sandusky sex abuse scandal is
highlyflawed, andfactuallyinsuf-
ficient.
Harris, Rudy Glocker and
Christian Marrone sent to other
Penn State alumni an email and
letter criticizing the Freeh report
that they plan publish in The
Wall Street Journal and other
large publications.
The email and letter were ob-
tained by The Associated Press
on Friday.
The players claim there was a
rush to judgment by the media,
the board of trustees, university
officials and the NCAA after the
blistering report was released
two weeks ago.
The report compiled by a team
led by former FBI director Louis
Freeh accuses school officials, in-
cludinglate coachJoe Paterno, of
covering up the abuse to avoid
bad publicity.
Agrave injustice has occurred
over these past two weeks that
began with the issuance of the
Freeh report, the email states.
After much review, its clear the
report is highly flawed, and fac-
tually insufficient. Yet, the
media, the Board of Trustees,
University officials and the
NCAA, seem to have read only
the conclusions and not the con-
tent of the report and have failed
to question the reports evidenti-
ary basis or lack thereof they
have rushed to judgment. As a re-
sult, OURprogramhas been bru-
tally harmed and our Coach has
been completely tarnished.
Sandusky, the former longtime
defensive coordinator at Penn
Stateunder Paterno, was convict-
ed of using his position at Penn
State and as head of a youth char-
ity to molest 10 boys over a peri-
od of 15 years. Hes awaiting sen-
tencing.
Penn State was sanctioned by
the NCAA for its handling of the
Sandusky case, based largely on
the findings in the Freeh report.
The NCAA did not conduct its
own investigation nor did it wait
for criminal cases against two
other Penn State officials to play
out.

Dow Jones tops 13,000
For a second day, the U.S. stock
market powered higher after European
leaders, including German chancellor
Merkel, pledged to protect the union of
17 countries that use the euro. The
Dow Jones industrial average blew past
13,000, a key psychological marker that
it hadnt hit since early May.
It wasnt that there werent any trou-
bling signs about the economy. In fact,
they abounded: U.S. economic growth
was anemic in the second quarter. A
measure of consumer sentiment fell in
July as people worried about their job
prospects. And Facebook and Star-
bucks dropped sharply after reporting
disappointing quarterly results.
Pa. shares $151M settlement
Pennsylvania is one of 29 states and
the District of Columbia that will share
a 151 million settlement with McKes-
son Corp. over allegations the compa-
ny inflated prices of hundreds of pre-
scription drugs, causing state Medicaid
programs to overpay millions of dollars
in reimbursements, officials said Fri-
day.
The agreement with San Francisco-
based McKesson, one of the countrys
largest drug wholesalers, settles allega-
tions the company deliberately inflated
drug prices by as much as 25 percent
from 2001 to 2009.
Samsung is phone leader
Samsung has extended its lead over
Apple in smartphones, in part because
its new Galaxy phones came out before
Apple updated its iPhone, research
group IDC said Friday.
In the U.S., Samsungs Galaxy S3
phones work with the faster fourth-
generation, or 4G, cellular networks
that major wireless companies have
been building. The Galaxys screen is
larger than the iPhones, while the
Samsung phone is lighter and thinner.
An iPhone with 4G capabilities isnt
expected until this fall.
National Penn hikes payout
National Penn Bancshares on
Wednesday raised its quarterly divi-
dend by 2 cents a share, to 9 cents a
share, payable Aug. 17 to shareholders
of record Aug. 4. With Wednesdays
action, Boyertown-based National Penn
has raised its dividend for five consec-
utive quarters.
The company operates seven bank
offices in Luzerne County, formerly
named KNBT.

THE TIMES LEADER SATURDAY, JULY 28, 2012

WASHINGTON Heres a small
consolation: The Great Recession
wasnt quite as horrendous as pre-
viously thought.
But it was still pretty horren-
dous: Updated government esti-
mates from January 2009 through
December 2011 show that the
downturn remains by far the worst
recession since the Great Depres-
sion.
And growth since the recession
officially ended in June 2009 has
been slightly less than previous es-
timates. Thats a reminder of how
weak the recovery has been.
The revisions were released Fri-
day by the Commerce Departments
Bureau of Economic Analysis with
its report on April-June growth.
Each year in July, the bureau revis-
es the previous three years of data
on the nations gross domestic
product, the broadest measure of
the economy.
The changes show the economy
shrank 4.7 percent from the start of
the recession in December 2007 un-
til it ended three years ago. Thats
0.4 percentage point less than the
previous estimate of 5.1 percent.
The main reason for the revision:
State and local governments spent
more in 2009 than initially thought.
Still, only two previous reces-
sions suffered contractions greater
than 3 percent. One was in 1957,
the other in 1973.
Since the Great Recession ended,
growth has been modest at best.
From July 2009 through the end of
2011, the economy grew a total of
5.8 percent. Thats down from an
earlier measure of 6.2 percent.
The economy grew at an average
annual rate of 0.3 percent from
2008 through 2011, the government
said. Thats down from an earlier
measure of 0.4 percent.
Some quarters were revised sig-
nificantly. The government says the
economy grew at an annual rate of
4.1 percent in last years fourth
quarter, up from a previous esti-
mate of only 3 percent. That was
because companies added more to
their stockpiles, and governments
spent more.
Feds: recession not as bad as thought

BERLIN Head to the checkout at
an Ikea in Stockholm to pay for your
new leather corner sofa and with the
swipe of a Visa card its yours. Dont try
that in Berlin thatll be (euro) 1,699
($2,080) in cash please.
Its that financial culture a deep-
seated aversion to debt and an empha-
sis on responsibility that makes
Chancellor Angela Merkels hardline
approach to solving the European fi-
nancial crisis so popular in Germany.
The attitude shows up in all walks of
life, from the daily trip to the grocery
store to putting a roof over your head.
The economy is so reliant on cash for
transactions small and big, a way to en-
sure you dont spend more than you
have, that Germanypushedhardfor the
(euro) 500 note to replace its popular
1,000 mark bill when it joined the com-
mon currency.
Even though Germany is Europes
largest economy and one of its richest
per head, it is last in home ownership
with just over 40 percent. That com-
pares to some 80 percent in troubled
EUnations like Greece, Italy andSpain,
and around 70 percent in Britain and
the U.S., where owning your own home
is part of the American Dream.
Germans tend to be instinctively
averse to taking out a mortgage. And
lenders often demand a 20 percent
down payment on a house or substan-
tial collateral. So a culture has sprung
up of just renting and holding on to
cash.
When mortgage debt shot up by
more than 20 percent in the 27-nation
European Union between 1998 and
2010 and more than 35 percent in
Britain and 60 percent in Ireland
Germany was the only EUnation to see
it fall, with a drop of 5.4 percent in that
time period, according to the European
Mortgage Federation.
German culture
is reliant on

W
ILKES-BARRE It wasnt
one thing that led Harold
and Sharon McNeill to
close the Boulevard Bak-
ery this month.
He listed a number of them Friday
while standing in the shops empty
parking lot along Wilkes-Barre Boule-
vard.
The economy wasnt helping. Nei-
ther was the competition from super-
markets, convenience stores and cof-
fee shops. The construction on Coal
Street and the boulevard contributed.
And so did the $1,200 a month he paid
for health insurance for him and his
wife.
But at 62, his age wasnt a factor and
retirement wasnt on his mind.
Ive still got some work in me,
McNeill said.
Where he goes fromhere is yet to be
determined.
The bakery was locatedina building
owned by the family that owned the
former Sunshine Market on state
Route 315 in Plains Township, said
McNeill. When the supermarket
closeda couple of years ago, the bakery
lost an outlet for its cakes, breads and
other baked goods.
He and his wife employed two cake
decorators and five or six store girls
and between them they worked 15 to
32 hours a week.
The pressures on the business had
been mounting and the number of cus-
tomers was decreasing.
It just wasnt out there, he said of
the lack of business.
The location was great, but the busi-
ness went elsewhere. With the price of
gas up, people who shopped at super-
markets werent making an extra trip
tothe bakery, McNeill said. Those who
came through the doors were coming
less frequently.
Last month you could see every-
thing going down, said McNeill.
So, approaching their 13th year on
the boulevard, the couple decided to
close. They said goodbye and thanked
their customers with a sign taped to
the front entrance.

Our weather will
again be in an
irritable mood
no thanks to
having a stub-
born zone of low
pressure con-
tent, keeping the
atmosphere
unsettled and
prone to forming
more showers
and scattered
storms.
Conditions will
also remain very
warm and very
humid into
tonight. Severe
weather is not
anticipated for
today but at the
sound of thun-
der, the best
move is to get
indoors.
Showers may
linger into
tonight along
with more fog.
On Sunday,
expect a little
more sunshine
and still the risk
for an afternoon
shower. Warm
and humid
weather will per-
sist most of next
week.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible throughout much of
the East, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Monsoonal moisture will lead to scat-
tered showers and thunderstorms from the Southwest into the central Rockies. A storm system will
be responsible for scattered thunderstorms over the northern Rockies.

ATLANTA Whether you have a pri-
mary residence or vacation home, your
personal green spaces can be updated
with eco-friendly items. Here are five
outdoor products with green qualities.
Original Rainwater Pillow
The Original Rainwater Pillow, cre-
atedby Alpharetta, Ga., landscaper Jim
Harrington, is an option for homeown-
ers wanting to collect, filter and store
rainwater to use in hoses, sprinklers,
drip irrigation systems and elsewhere.
The automated systemcomes with the
pillow (made of heavy-duty, industrial-
strength fabric), filter, pump, remote
control and fittings. Most people pur-
chase the pillowfor outdoor irrigation,
but Harrington is seeing a growing de-
sire for other uses, such as doing laun-
dry and flushing toilets. The pillows
canbe placedunder decks andporches,
in crawl spaces and greenhouses. A
1,000-gallon kit is $2,500; a 2,000-gal-
lon kit is $3,500, a 3,000-gallon kit is
$4,200. The company website
www.rainwater pillow.com provides
directions for using roof measure-
ments to determine what size kit you
need.
Wall planter
Hang this planter, made of 100-per-
cent recycled plastic bottles, on fences,
walls and rails to grow annuals, peren-
nials andedibles. The soft-sidedliving
wall planter is breathable and keeps
walls from getting wet, according to
Woolly Pocket Garden Co. (www.wool-
lypocket.com ). The Wally planter
ranges from $40 to $150. Sold at Eco-
Denizen, www.ecodenizen.net.
Recycled granite walkways
Oldgranite countertops are getting a
newpurpose as pavers, patios, outdoor
kitchens, walkways and driveways.
The pavers are made of 100 percent re-
cycled solid granite, but the textured
side of the granite is used, creating a
slip-resistant surface, said Matt Dom-
browski, owner of Greenstone Recy-
cled Stone Products in Bethlehem, Ga.
The company says using 100 square
feet of Greenstone Pavers will prevent
more than 1,600 pounds of granite
waste from entering landfills. Suggest-
ed retail price is $5.50 per square foot.

A
h, summer. Theres something about these warm and
languid days and nights that makes many of us want
to throw together a little gathering.
Picking a cocktail-party theme makes planning the
menu and dcor more fun. Here are just a few to get
your creative wheels turning. Invite your favorite people, add some
fairy lights and lanterns and get the party started.
60s South Beach
Showtimes new Magic City
TV series, set in mid-century
Miami, is inspiration for party
dcor and music with a retro
vibe, served with Cuban-influ-
enced canaps.
At Pottery Barn, youll find a
collection of melamine plates,
serveware and coordinating lin-
ens in muted vintage tropical
prints.
Palm-leaf-patterned ceramic
serveware in deep blues and ol-
ive greens are part of Cindy
Crawford Styles Eden collection at
JCPenney.
And even if youre land-bound, craft
stores offer shells, coral and starfish you
can add to baskets and trays filled with
store-bought play sand to create table de-
cor. Or place one dramatic tropical
flower or frond in a tall slim vase.
Serve appetizers with Latin
flair, such as Cuban shrimp skew-
ers, mini empanadas and spicy
popcorn. Play the Rat Pack mu-
sic that was popular in the era
at Miamis big hotels Sinatra,
Ella Fitzgerald, Sammy Davis Jr.
Cocktails in Cortona
You may not be under the
Tuscan sun this summer, but
you can still set a similar scene
for your guests. Fill a large glass vase
with water, lemons and sunflowers. Or
take a cue from London-based stylist Sa-
nia Pell and fill clear vessels with un-
trimmed vegetables such as radishes, cel-
ery and carrots for a rustic look.
Pottery Barn has melamine versions of
the iconic Talavera pottery, while Wil-
liams-Sonoma has unbreakable dishware
in Mediterranean patterns.
Small bites are the way to go with any
cocktail party; theyre easy for guests to
handle, and your food trays will be easier
to refresh. For this one, consider tiny to-
mato tarts, a sampler of Italian ices and
shot glasses filled with cold soups such
as cucumber dill or tomato basil.
Tokyo terrace
A city balconys the perfect place for a
chic, Asian-inspired cocktail party. Set up
the Zen zone with baby conifer pots or
moss nestled into interesting dishes.
Wrap votives in origami paper.
Branchhome.com has Wasaras elegant
bamboo and sugarcane-fiber disposable
tableware thats great looking and eco-
friendly.
CB2s Format orange enamel tray and
an array of colorful, user-friendly,
clothespin-style chopsticks would be styl-
ish options.

on-ball lollipops, along with bowls of Ja-

Thinkclotheslines arearelicof
a bygone era, a time when our
grandmothers slaved over their
dainties with stiff birch-wood
pins?
Think again. Hanging clothes
is hot, due in no small part to the
rising costs of, well, everything.
Between soaring utilitey bills,
concerns for the environment
and a growing interest in tradi-
tional home arts, forgoing the
dryer is the newest (oldest) way
to tackle laundry.
But howdoes one do it proper-
ly? For those of us with more ex-
perience rebooting hard drives
than hanging socks, our laundry
know-how is as fuzzy as a 1940s
photograph.
Abigail Gehring, author and
editor of a number of books on
green living skills, including
The Illustrated Encyclopedia of
Country Living and The
Homesteading Handbook, has
this advice to get you started:
The biggest complaint people
have with line-dried clothes is
that theyre stiff and wrinkled,
Gehring says. She says you can
avoid this problem by giving
your clothes a good shake, then
hanging them with a little space
between each itemfor maximum
air circulation.
Gehring warns against using
fabric softener, saying that 1/2 to
1 cup of white vinegar added to
clothes in the rinse cycle will
make them lighter and fluffier.
You might notice a faint vinegar
smell on your clothes, Gehring
says, but that can be easily
maskedby adding a couple drops
of essential oil to the wash.
The life of your clothes can be
extended by hang drying, but
there are still ways to stretch
your favorite shirt if youre not
paying attention. Gehring advis-
es against hanging stretchy knits
because they could lose their
shape. Instead, she suggests lay-
ing them on an elevated drying
screen. In the absence of a laun-
dry screen, Ive even used a win-
dow screen and a couple of
bricks, Gehring says.
For less finicky knits, she rec-
ommends hanging shirts upside
down with pins on the bottom
side seams to reduce clip marks.
Pants should be draped at the
knees and clipped on the sides to
keep their shape. To avoid fading
and keep clothes soft, Gehring
hangs her wash in the shade, as
direct sun can bleach fabrics and
leave clothes stiff.
Emily McClements, a South
Bend, Ind., mother who blogs
about simple living on her site
LiveRenewed.com, prefers direct
sun-drying for her armys worth
of laundry.
My kids are hard on their
clothes, McClements says. The
sun helps bleach out the stains,
but doesnt set them the way a
dryer would.
To avoid fading colorful knits,
she hangs those items inside out.
For small items, such as chil-
drens clothes, McClements sug-
gests doubling up clothes and
overlapping pins. With more
laundry than space on the line,
she says a drying rack can be a
great addition for undergar-
ments andsocks. Because drying
racks are portable, they can be
moved into the sun or the shade
and offer a great outdoor drying
solution for urbanites with small
yards or apartment balconies.
Despite the benefits of hang-
drying in the summer sun, there
are a couple of caveats to airing
your not-so-dirty laundry. Neigh-
bors may find your clotheslines
unsightly, and some communi-
ties have even gone so far as to
ban the practice.
Then theres the matter of al-
lergies. Clothes hungoutside can
pick up pollen a problem for
anyone with seasonal allergies.
Dr. Kraig Jacobson, an allergist
with Oregon Allergy Associates
in Eugene, Ore., says allergy suf-
ferers should be mindful of the
season when hanging clothes
outdoors.
Whether or not its safe to
hang your laundry outside de-
pends on the time of year, what
youre sensitive to and what part
of the country you live in, Jacob-
son explains.
Before hanging your wash out-
side, Jacobsen suggests, check
the American Academy of Asth-
ma, Allergy and Immunologys
website at aaaai.org to check pol-
len counts for your region.

Bring the woodsy cabin
vibe home to the city or sub-

look wonderful as a rustic

Set out mini sliders, roast-

unique idea for any cocktail
soiree, and keeps things just
as much fun for teetotalers or

Question: I have three toilets
in my ranch house. One of the
three toilet bowls always has
rust stains, but the other two
never do. I know how to re-
move the stains, but how can I
prevent them?
Answer: Wadsworth, Ohio,
plumber Cathy Geary said a
part in the toilet tank may have
rusted, perhaps the chain that
lifts the flapper. Or a bit of rust
could be lodged in one or more
of the tiny holes around the
rim through which water en-
ters the bowl. Poke around in
those holes with a piece of wire
to unclog them, she suggested.
Its also possible that the
shutoff valve is bad or a piece
of rust is stuck in it, Geary
said. Replacing it may require
hiring a plumber.

Whats new
Is there anything more relax-
ing than a hot bath?
Kohler Co. thinks so.
The company has added a
sound therapy technology
called VibrAcoustic to its Un-
derscore line of bathtubs. The
technology is supposed to
relieve tension through the use
of sound vibrations that are
both heard and felt.
A bather can choose from
four original compositions that
integrate music, vibration and
lighting to promote relaxation.
He or she also can listen to
music or podcasts from a mo-
bile device, Internet radio or
home computer, either by
plugging in the device or by
streaming wirelessly with a
Bluetooth receiver.
The acrylic Underscore bath
is available in five colors and
nine sizes with both drop-in
and undermount installations.
Suggested retail prices range
from $1,055 to $4,634.

dealer in the Where to Buy
