DALLAS TWP. Finally Rob
Friedman can tell people where to
go - and thats a good thing for the
owner of the renovated Beaumont
Inn.
For the past seven years hes had
to direct people attending wed-
dings in his converted dairy barn
at nearby Friedman Farms to other
area hotels and restaurants.
Now theres room for them
with the opening of the inn on
Wednesday. The 65-year-old build-
ing has 10 rooms, each appointed
differently with the same atten-
tion to detail shown to the hir-
ing of staff and in the bar and
lounge, restaurant, patio and
terrace and the grounds of the
property along state Route 309
next to the Wyoming County line.

Egypt erupts with protests demanding Morsi ouster
The Associated Press
CAIRO Hundreds of thousands thronged the
streets of Cairo and cities around the country Sunday
and marched on the presidential palace, lling a
broad avenue for blocks, in an attempt to force out
the Islamist president with the most massive protests
Egypt has seen in 2 years of turmoil.
In a sign of the explosive volatility of the countrys
divisions, a hard core of young opponents broke away
from the rallies and attacked the main headquarters of
President Mohammed Morsis Muslim Brotherhood,
pelting it with stones and rebombs until a rag-
ing re erupted in the walled villa. During clashes,
Brotherhood supporters opened re with birdshot on
the attackers, who swelled to a crowd of hundreds.
Fears were widespread that the two sides
could be heading to a violent collision in com-
ing days. Morsi made clear through a spokes-
man that he would not step down and his
Islamist supporters vowed not to allow protest-
ers to remove one of their own, brought to office
in a legitimate vote. Thousands of Islamists

on the one-year anniversary of his inauguration.

Is a crossfle
primary win a
sure bet come
November?
Mark Guydish
mguydish@timesleader.com
Conventional
wisdom as
well as basic
math says
school board
candidates who
cross-le in the
primary election and win nomi-
nations from both parties are a
shoe-in come November, guar-
anteed to beat any other can-
didates who may have only run
and won on a single party ticket.
So when, say, there are four
seats available and three cross-
led candidates win both party
nominations, its assumed the
real battle will be between the
two candidates who won the
Democratic and Republican
nominations for that fourth seat.
Its fairly obvious that people
who can win on both sides in the
spring have, hands down, the
ability to win in the fall, Kings
College political science profes-
sor David Sosar said. Its very
seldom that someone who won
on both sides loses in November.
While winning nominations
in both parties increases
the candidates chances of
winning, it is no guarantee.

Governor signs
state budget
HARRISBURG The main
Pennsylvania state budget bill
became law with Gov. Tom
Corbetts signature on Sunday
night, as he acknowledged that
the wider agenda he had sought
with it of overhauling public
employee pension systems, priva-
tizing wine and liquor sales and
increasing transportation funding
has stalled until the fall.
Still, Corbett did not express
disappointment, and instead
sought to highlight the prog-
ress that had happened in the
Legislature.
I have to thank the people for
what theyve done and I certainly
encourage them when they return
in the fall, Corbett told reporters
shortly after the signing the bill
at 10:15 p.m. Lets get it done.
A 111-92 House vote along
party lines on the budget bill
followed the more bipartisan
Senate approval of the $28.4 bil-
lion spending plan, a 2.6 percent
increase over the 2012-13 budget
approved last year.
The budget plan would increase
spending by $719 million, or 2.6
percent, over the current year,
largely for additional health care
for the poor, social services, pub-
lic employee pensions, prisons
and public schools. It also cuts
business taxes by about $300 mil-
lion.
The spending bill is $65 million
less than what Corbett proposed
in February, and assumes retire-
ment and pension costs will be
substantially lower than Corbett
has projected. Democrats have
sought, unsuccessfully, to free
up even more money for schools
and other programs by delaying
business tax cuts and counting on
savings by approving a federally
funded expansion of Medicaid eli-
gibility.
Corbett outlined a three-part
agenda in January and February
increased transportation fund-
ing, privatized wine and liquor
sales and changes in public
employee pension systems. But
his pensions proposal made little
headway in the state Legislature
and a showdown between the
House and Senate sank efforts on
liquor and transportation legisla-
tion before lawmakers summer
break.
In a statement Sunday evening,
Corbett asked the Senate and the
House to immediately send the
Senates wine and liquor bill to
his desk.
However, the House Republican
majority has not been able to
muster enough votes to pass an
approximately $2 billion transpor-
tation bill it wrote, in large part
because it involves an increase in
a wholesale fuel tax, and House
Democrats have not been sup-
portive of it because they see it as
inadequate, particularly for mass
transit systems.
Meanwhile, the Senates
Republican majority has refused
to approve a private wine and
liquor sales bill without a com-
mitment from House GOP lead-
ers to send it to Corbetts desk
unchanged and approve the
Senates biggest priority, a mas-
sive transportation funding bill.
Simply to send the (liquor) bill
to the House with no assurance
that it would go the governors
desk seems like a meaningless
Although pleased with
fscal plan, Corbett sees
much of his agenda
stalled until fall.

die battling
Ariz. fre
YARNELL, Ariz. A fast-
moving wildre killed 19 re-
ghters Sunday afternoon
after the blaze raced through
an Arizona community, a
state forestry ofcial told The
Associated Press.
Forestry spokesman Art
Morrison said the reghters
were caught by the re near the
central Arizona town of Yarnell
about 85 miles northwest of
Phoenix. He said the reght-
ers were forced to deploy their
re shelters, tent-like structures
meant to shield reghters from
ames and heat.
Earlier Sunday, the 2,000-acre
wildre prompted evacuations
of 50 homes in several commu-
nities. Later Sunday afternoon,
the Yavapai County Sheriff s
Ofce expanded the evacuations
to include more residents in the
town of Yarnell.
Morrison said several homes
in the community of Glenisle
have been burned. He said no
other injuries or deaths have
been reported from that area.
About 200 reghters are
ghting the wildre, which has
also forced the closure of parts
of state Route 89.
Mike Reichling, Arizona State
Forestry Division spokesman,
told The Arizona Republic the
re theyre calling in federal
help to ght the re.

POLICE BLOTTER
WI L KE S - B A R R E
-Police are investigat-
ing the reported sexual
assault of a woman early
Sunday morning on
the railroad tracks near
Parrish and South Main
streets.
According to police:
The woman said she
met a male at Mr. Pizza
on South Main Street
and they later walked to
the Turkey Hill conve-
nience store on Blackman
Street. They stayed there
a while and left with the
male telling her to follow
him because he knew a
shortcut. Once on the
tracks he pulled her down
and assaulted her. The
woman got away, saw
a pizza delivery person
and asked for help. The
delivery person drove her
to Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital where police
were contacted around
12:25 a.m.
The suspect is
described as a black male
approximately 5 feet 9
inches tall with a stocky
build.
HAZLETON - A man is
hospitalized after police
suspect he was in a ght
early Sunday morning.
The 33-year-old vic-
tim, whose name was

lowed a trail of blood

HKQ Kids will supply children with free bike helmets
Tess Kornfeld
Times Leader Intern
WILKES-BARRE
Fireworks, hot dogs and
swimming pools are a few
things that come to mind
when one thinks of sum-
mer, but Kingston law rm
Hourigan, Kluger & Quinn
wants people to think of
something else this Fourth
of July: bike safety.
HKQ Kids, Hourigan,
Kluger & Quinn Fund for
Childrens Advocacy, will
give away free bicycle hel-
mets to children ages 12
and under during the annual
Fourth of July reworks cel-
ebration at Kirby Park to
promote child safety.
We thought Kirby Park
would be a good venue
because so many families are
there on the Fourth of July,
Sue Greeneld, project coor-
dinator, said.
Greeneld said many
people are not aware that
bicycle helmets are delicate.
Once a helmet falls on the
ground, it can no longer
absorb shock and needs to
be thrown away.
However, buying a new
helmet is costly. One hel-
met costs at least $15 and
for bigger families, it can
become cost prohibitive.
HKQ Kids continues to
have the free helmet give-
away each year to alleviate
the cost for families and to
keep children safe.
The economy is not
the greatest, and the cost
of helmets is outrageous,
Greeneld said.
Since HKQ Kids started
the free helmet giveaway in
2008, more than 5,100 chil-
dren have been equipped
with helmets approved by
the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission.
There will be helmets of
many sizes to accommodate
all ages, from toddler size to
youth large.
The HKQ Kids stand,
located on the main walking
path, will look patriotic this
year as red, blue and silver
are the available helmet col-
ors.
Greeneld said there are
families who return to the
stand each year, and the law-
yers and staff of Hourigan,
Kluger & Quinn who volun-
teer for the event have seen
children grow up.
We are very happy to see
them come back, Greeneld
said.
The event, run by staff
and lawyers of the law firm,
will be from 11 a.m. to 6
p.m. If helmets run out,
families can order them
and have them available
within a week.

Copper wire stolen
Police are investigating the report-
ed theft of copper wire from a PPL
transformer along state 502.
Utility crews placed a new trans-
former on the ground after a large
tree tore down wires on Friday.
A neighbor Saturday told police
a motorcyclist took wire from the
transformer and hid it under his
shirt. The neighbor described the
suspect as a white male with gray
hair wearing a fannel shirt and
jeans. He was riding an older model,
purple and brown motorcycle. The
rear tire on the motorcycle was
almost fat, the neighbor said.

recycling grant
Wyoming County was awarded
$36,802 under the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental
Protections County Recycling
Coordinator Grant program.
The grant will be used for the
reimbursement of 50 percent of
the county recycling coordinators
salary and expenses. The coordina-
tors duties include: development of
recycling public education programs;
assistance to municipalities in devel-
opment of recycling programs; assis-
tance to municipalities in the prepa-
ration of recycling grant applications;
assistance in the selection of materi-
als to be recycled; identication of
opportunities for inter-municipal
cooperation; and collecting recycling
program data and reporting the
information to DEP.
State Rep. Sandra Major,
R-Bridgewater Township, said the
county has done an excellent job to
increase its recycling efforts.
This funding will help make sure
recycling efforts continue to be avail-
able throughout the county, Major
said.
State Rep. Karen Boback,
R-Harveys Lake, whose district
includes the county, said recycling is
vital for the environment because it
reduces the amount of material going
into landlls. Boback added, it is
also a signicant economic factor
in Pennsylvania because a growing
number of our industries and busi-
nesses are either directly or indi-
rectly involved with recycling, with
more products being produced with
recycled material every year.
WILMINGTON, DEL.
Good news for
gas pumps
AAA Mid-Atlantic reports stable
gas prices ahead of the Independence
Day holiday come as welcome news
for the 40.8 million Americans who
plan to travel 50 miles or more to
celebrate the second holiday of sum-
mer. Thats a 0.8 percent decrease
from the 41.1 million who traveled
last year. Approximately 34.4 million
people plan to drive to their destina-
tion, a decrease of 0.7 percent from
the 34.7 million who drove last year.
In terms of gas prices, prices fell
through the end of June and prices at
the pump could turn higher in July,
as has been the case in recent years,
as the summer driving season ramps
up. The national average rose 17
cents per gallon in July 2011 and 16
cents in July 2012.
The national average price for reg-
ular unleaded gasoline dropped eight
cents this week to $3.51 per gallon
Friday. This is 11 cents lower than
month-ago prices, yet 14 cents more
than year-ago prices. As of Friday,
the national average declined for 16
straight days.
Yet while gas prices are higher this
year than the same time last year
leading up to the Independence Day
holiday, prices have dropped signi-
cantly since reaching a 2013 peak
price of $3.79 per gallon on Feb.
27. This spring Tom Kloza, chief oil
analyst for OPIS and AAA gas price
partner, noted that whatever motor-
ists paid on St. Patricks Day ($3.69
per gallon national average) will be
considerably more than what they
will pay on July Fourth or Labor Day.
As of June 28, motorists were pay-
ing $3.51, 18 cents less than on St.
Patricks Day.
In the Wilkes-Barre area, the price
of a gallon of regular unleaded gas
was $3.41 on Sunday. A week ago it
was $3.45. A year ago it was $3.32.
Dog license purchases on the rise in county
sheena Delazio
sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE Thanks to the imple-
mentation of a website where customers can
purchase dog licenses, the Luzerne County
Treasurers Ofce expects to see an increase
in sales this year.
Its an increase that the state Department
of Agriculture has seen recently, too, with
more than 100,000 dogs being licensed
statewide in March alone.
According to the county treasurers ofce,
29,984 individual licenses were sold in 2011,
compared to 23,654 in 2012.
As of the end of May the ofce has sold
22,476 licenses, which includes senior/dis-
abled licenses, lifetime licenses and licenses
sold online.
Were thrilled the county manager
(Robert Lawton) switched to an online dog
license application. Sales are doing so well.
We are going to sell more than last year,
county treasurer ofce manager Laura Beers
said.
The online purchasing of dog licenses,
which can be done at www.padoglicense.
com, began in Luzerne County on April 19.
Since that date, the county has recieved 684
license purchases online alone.
We werent even advertising it and we
were getting sales, Beers said.
Heres how it works: A dog owner lls out
an application online, pays the amount for
an annual or lifetime license, plus a $2 fee
that goes to the company that runs the web-
site. In the morning, the county treasurers
ofce downloads a le of sales, prints out
paper licenses and mails metal dog licenses
to owners.
Thats 684 we didnt have to type in. We
just pressed a button and folded, Beers
said. We couldnt be happier.
Beers said 13 counties this year have so
far reported an increase in purchased dog
licenses due to the website, which services
a total of 32 counties, including Luzerne
County.
Statewide Pennsylvania pet owners
licensed 124,555 dogs in March, exceeding
a 100,000 goal.
After exceeding the goal, pet retailer
PetSmart donated $10,000 to Susquehanna
Service Dogs, a non-prot organization that
trains and provides service and hearing dogs
that help children and adults with special
needs become more independent.
Dog licenses are important, Beers said,
because it is state law to license your dog.
Licenses keep track of howmany dogs live in
a municipality and they help locate lost pets.
Beers said if a dog is lost and has a county
license, residents can call the treasurers
ofce during regular business hours to help
identify the dog.
If it is after hours, Beers said, there is a
non-emergency number police departments
can call so that a 911 communications work-
er can access the county database to identify
the dog.
(Licenses) help get dogs home, Beers
said.
Pet owners sometimes think they dont
need a license if their dog normally stays
indoors or on a leash, but the fact is, Beers
said, that its a state law and relatively cheap
to purchase a dog license in Pennsylvania
compared to other states.
Beers said she often gets questioned as to
why cats do not have to be licensed, to which
she replies that it is a matter of enforcement.
There are typically many stray cats in an
area as well as cats that are pets, and it can
be hard to enforce a cat licensing law.
moRE INFo:
State law requires all dogs three months and
older to be licensed each year.
Owners who fail to license their dogs could face
a ne of up to $300 for each unlicensed dog.
An annual dog license is $8.45 or $6.45 if the
dog is spayed or neutered.
Lifetime licenses are also available for dogs that
have a permanent identication, like a microchip or
tattoo: $51.45 for a non-neutered or spayed pet and
$31.45 for a neutered or spayed pet.
Older Pennsylvanians and people with disabili-
ties may be eligible for discounts.
Licenses can be purchased at the county treasurers
ofce in the Luzerne County Courthouse, at participat-
ing retailers and online at www.padoglicense.com.

Just howpowerful is the Election Board?
One thing that
came out of the
Luzerne County
Election Bureaus
report to county
council about the
primary election in
May is that the role
of the board needs to
be claried.
At last weeks council meeting,
Election Board Chairman H. Jeremy
Packard addressed six problems in
the most recent election, including:
a non-existent elected ofcial data-
base in the bureau; miscommunica-
tion between counties in the Hazleton
Area School Board election; candi-
date placement errors on the ballot
in Lehman Township; and unsecured
delivery of polling place supplies.
He also touted bureau achievements
such as completing the rst phase of
constructing an elected ofcial data-
base; coding the electronic ballots in-
house; and increased handicap acces-
sibility at polling places.
The 2013 municipal primary ran,
overall, very well, Packard said,
noting that bureau director Marissa
Crispell-Barbers failure to notify
Carbon and Schuylkill counties of
the withdrawal of a candidate in the
Hazleton Area race, neccesitating a
court petition to have a re-election in
those counties, was the only signi-
cant problem.
Councilman Stephen A. Urban
called the board one of the laziest
hes seen, given all of the problems.
Councilman Stephen J. Urban sug-
gested the board cannot handle it and
that some of you resign and well put
people in place that can manage the
election process more efciently.
Council Jim Bobeck asked the role
of the board.
Packard said that, based on remarks
from the Urbans, people have a mis-
conception. He said the home rule
charter changed the entire concept of
the election board.
He said prior to County Manager
Robert Lawton ring former election
Bureau Director Leonard Piazza, the
Election Board would have been the
one to re because two (of the three
county) commissioners were on (the
board) until the home rule charter
went into effect.
Packard said the board discovered
the board had absolutely no power
after Piazza was red and many refer-
ences in state election law essentially
are null and void. Were not even
really supervisory personnel. He said
the major role of the board is to certify
the election and oversee aspects of it,
not to run the election or microman-
age and then to participate in going
through the ballots that there are
questions about.
He suggested a council subcommit-
tee meet with the board to discuss the
issue. You think were lazy. The real-
ity is a lot of the things you would like
us to do, we cant do.

in New York.
NEWYORK
Helicopter lands in
NYCs Hudson River
A charter helicopter carrying a family of four
Swedes on a sightseeing tour of New York City lost
power shortly after takeoff Sunday and made an
emergency landing on the Hudson River, authori-
ties said. The pilot and occupants were uninjured.
The helicopter landed shortly before noon in the
section of the river near 79th Street by the New
York City Marina.
Deputy Fire Chief Thomas McKavanaugh said
the helicopter had taken off from the Wall Street
Heliport and lost power after 12 minutes in the
air. The pilot used the crafts pontoons, and it
remained upright as it landed.
The pilot did a terric job considering hed lost
his engine power, McKavanaugh said.
AUSTIN, TEXAS
Filibuster star Davis still
weighing future
State Sen. Wendy Davis, whose libuster against
Texas abortion restrictions gained her national
fame, insists Democrats will be competitive in next
years statewide races but hasnt decided whether
shell be part of the slate of candidates for ofces
currently dominated by Republicans.
The Harvard-trained lawyer told The Associated
Press she has been elding congratulatory phone
calls from around the world since her marathon
libuster Tuesday that helped run out the clock on
the special session and kill the abortion bill. But
she hasnt determined if she should seek re-elec-
tion to the Senate or, as some have encouraged her,
aim higher and perhaps run for governor.
Davis said she is concentrating on the second
special legislative session that begins today, when
Republicans will try again to pass a bill that likely
would shut down at least 37 out of 42 abortion
clinics in the state and impose other restrictions
on the procedure.
When we get through it, and I can lift my head
up, and Im back in my district with my constitu-
ents I will have more time to think about (the
future), she said. I think the more important
question is what will the people do with their new-
found power? I think Tuesday was a game-changer
in Texas.

Southwest braces
for more sizzling
temperatures
High temperatures are bringing discomfort to
much of the Southwest as many parts of the region
are coming off record-breaking heat days and brac-
ing for more sizzling temperatures.
Triple-digit heat was on tap Sunday for the val-
leys and desert regions of Southern California,
while metropolitan Phoenix was expected to see
a slight drop in temperatures after experiencing
record-breaking heat on Saturday.
Six half-marathon runners in Southern California
were hospitalized Sunday for heat-related illnesses.
A day earlier, paramedics responding to a Nevada
home without air conditioning found an elderly
man dead.
Phoenix Fire Department spokesman Larry
Nunez says Phoenix hasnt seen any deaths that
were classied as heat-related, but emergency
workers have gotten 98 heat-related calls within
metro Phoenix since Friday morning.

Bulger lawyers focus on
battling informant label
James Whitey Bulger is charged with a litany
of crimes including participating in 19 murders
during what prosecutors describe as a decades-
long reign of murder and mayhem.
But Bulgers lawyers have spent much of their
energy defending their client against something he
doesnt face criminal charges for: being a longtime
FBI informant.
The defense has vehemently denied the prosecu-
tions claim that Bulger was an informant, going so
far as to say his Irish heritage would prohibit such
a thing.
Theyve also spent hours trying to discredit
a 700-page FBI le that prosecutors say shows
Bulger ratted on everyone from mobsters in the
Italian Maa to members of his own gang.
Federal marriage benefts? Not for everyone
Stephen Ohlemacher
WASHINGTON Like other
married couples, same-sex cou-
ples are about to learn that federal
benets for being married might
not be all theyre cracked up to be.
Social Security benets for
spouses can be generous, but only
for couples with big disparities in
their incomes. Taxes are a decid-
edly mixed bag, and there are still
a lot of unanswered questions for
the Internal Revenue Service.
Many middle-income couples
should get welcome tax breaks
now that they can change their
ling status from single to
married ling jointly. The big-
gest benets will go to couples
in which one spouse makes more
money than the other.
But those at the top and bot-
tom of the income scale could
face signicant tax increases.
High-income taxpayers could
feel the pinch because the tax
code still contains substantial
marriage penalties for couples
with higher incomes. Low-
income taxpayers could lose
benets that target the working
poor, such as the earned income
tax credit, if they get married
and their spouses income dis-
qualies them.
Low-income parents also
could lose other government
benets such as Medicaid, the
health insurance program for
the poor, if they get married and
their spouses income pushes
them above certain limits.
The poor gay couples, par-
ticularly if theyre raising chil-
dren, are going to face the same
huge penalty structure thats
now faced by low-income house-
holds in general, said Eugene
Steuerle, a former Treasury of-
cial who is now a fellow at the
Urban Institute.
In that case, they may have
won the court battle but are
still stuck in a social structure
where the government basi-
cally tells them, do not marry
or youre going to lose a lot of
money, Steuerle said.
The Supreme Court on
Wednesday struck down parts of
a federal law that denied govern-
ment benets to same-sex cou-
ples, even if they were married
in states that recognize same-
sex marriages.
In 2004, the nonpartisan
Congressional Budget Ofce
found 1,138 provisions in fed-
eral law in which marriage was
a factor. Some were obscure,
like being eligible to represent
your spouse in negotiations over
surface mine leases with the
Interior Department.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry smiles at a question from a reporter during a news conference about his trip to the Middle East in Tel Aviv, Israel, on Sunday.
Kerry engaged in breakneck shuttle diplomacy to coax Israel and the Palestinians back into peace talks over a four-day span.
Kerry says progress made in Mideast peace talks
TEL AVIV, Israel U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry completed a new round
of shuttle diplomacy Sunday without a
hoped-for breakthrough in relaunching
Mideast peace talks, but optimistically
said he had narrowed the gaps between
Israel and the Palestinians and vowed to
return to the region soon to complete his
mission.
Kerry said he was working on an emerg-
ing package meant to bring the sides
together, and said he would leave a team of
aides in the region to continue the efforts.
With a little more work, the start of
final status negotiations could be within
reach, he told reporters, shortly before
leaving Israel for an Asian security con-
ference in Brunei.
It was not clear how much progress
Kerry had truly made. He refused to pro-
vide details of the package he is working
on, and Israeli and Palestinian ofcials, at
Kerrys request, remained mum.
Even before negotiations have begun,
the gaps remain wide on simply establish-
ing the ground rules.
Negotiations have been stalled since
2008, in large part due to Israeli settle-
ment policies in the West Bank and east
Jerusalem.
The Palestinians claim both areas, cap-
tured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war,
for a future independent state alongside
Israel and have demanded that Israel stop
building settlements on occupied lands
before talks resume. More than 500,000
Jewish settlers now live in areas sought
by the Palestinians, making it increasing-
ly difcult to partition the land into two
states.
The Palestinians also say Israels pre-
1967 frontiers should be the baseline for
the nal borders between Israel and a
future Palestine. Previous Israeli leaders
have accepted the 1967 lines as a starting
point for talks. But Israels current prime
minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, while
endorsing the idea of a Palestinian state,
has refused the Palestinian demands, say-
ing talks should begin immediately with-
out any preconditions.
Netanyahu has ruled out a return to
the 1967 lines, saying it would threaten
Israels security and noting the Jewish
peoples biblical connection to the West
Bank. He also rejects any division of the
holy city of Jerusalem, home to sensitive
Christian, Jewish and Muslim holy sites.
Cuts leaving some military bases without Fourth of July freworks
Jennifer C. Kerr
WASHINGTON
The Fourth of July wont
have a patriotic boom in
the sky over some mili-
tary bases because bud-
get cuts and furloughed
workers also mean fur-
loughed reworks.
Independence Day
celebrations have been
canceled at the Camp
Lejeune Marine Corps
Base and at the Armys
Fort Bragg, both in North
Carolina. The annual July
Fourth celebration also
has been scrapped at the
Marine Corps Logistics
Base in Albany, Ga.
The reason is money
namely the lack of it.
The failure in
Washington to follow up
a 2011 budget pact with
additional spending cuts
meant $85 billion across-
the-board cuts that began
in March. Budgets tight-
ened, the military took
a major hit and many
federal workers absorbed
pay cuts through forced
furloughs.
When the decision was
made to forgo reworks at
Camp Lejeune, the com-
manding general, Brig.
Gen. Thomas Gorry, said
the cancellation would
ensure that we can miti-
gate the scal challenges
we are currently facing.
Last years
Independence Day at the
base cost about $100,000,
including $25,000 for the
reworks. The big issue
is paying the overtime
to personnel for security,
transportation, logistics
and safety. Base ofcials
said they couldnt justify
paying overtime when
federal workers are losing
pay while furloughed.
Brandy Rhoad Stowe
says the reworks at
Camp Lejeune always
were spectacular, and
she said that she and her
kids, ages 3 and 9, will
miss them this year.
I know reworks
might seem silly to other
people, Stowe said in an
interview. But what is
the Fourth of July with-
out reworks?
Her husband is a mas-
ter gunnery sergeant
with seven combat
deployments in Iraq and
Afghanistan since 2001.
Stowe says she under-
stands the budgets cuts
but still feels a little
shortchanged.
Obama asserts Mandelas values are Africas future
CAPE TOWN, South Africa
Challenging African youth to
seize a moment of great prom-
ise, President Barack Obama
declared Sunday that the future
of the young and growing con-
tinent still rests in ailing South
African leader Nelson Mandelas
vision for equality and opportu-
nity.
Seeking to carve out his own
piece of that legacy, Obama
unveiled an ambitious initiative
to double electricity access in
sub-Saharan Africa, vowing to
bring light where there is dark-
ness.
The presidents address at
the University of Cape Town
capped an emotionally charged
day in this picturesque coastal
city, including a solemn visit to
the Robben Island prison where
Mandela was conned for 18 of
his 27 years in captivity. Obama
stood stoically with his family
in Mandelas cramped cell and
peered across the lime quarry
where Mandela toiled each day,
causing the damage to his lungs
that led to his latest hospital
stint.
Nelson Mandela showed us
that one mans courage can move
the world, Obama said during
his evening speech at the univer-
sity. He was anked by a diverse
array of students, underscoring
Mandelas vision for a unied
rainbow nation for the country
once led by a white racist gov-
ernment.
In the agship address of his
weeklong trip to Africa, Obama
outlined a U.S. policy toward
the continent that focuses on
increasing the regions abil-
ity to support itself economi-
cally, politically and militarily.
Harkening back to a prominent
theme from his 2009 speech in
Ghana Obamas only other
trip to Africa as president he
said Africans must take much of
the responsibility for achieving
that goal, although he pledged
American assistance.
Ultimately I believe Africans
should make up their own minds
about what serves African inter-
ests, he said. We trust your
judgment, the judgment of ordi-
nary people. We believe that
when you control your destiny, if
you got a handle on your govern-
ments, then governments will
promote freedom and opportuni-
ty, because that will serve you.
Obamas address came nearly
50 years after Robert F. Kennedy
delivered his famous speech at
the same university. Kennedys
speech, delivered soon after
Mandela was sentenced to life in
prison, called on young people
to launch a ght against injus-
tice, creating ripples of hope that
would build a current which can
sweep down the mightiest walls
of oppression and resistance.

ANNAGOO, 90, of Wilkes-

2013, at Little Flower Manor.
Funeral arrangements are
pending from the Yeosock
Funeral Home, 40 S. MainSt.,
Plains.
Within the next several
months Senator Pat Toomey
will cast a key vote on immigra-
tion reform on S744, a bill put
forward by the Gang of eight,
a group of senators from across
the political spectrum.
Many Americans would
agree that todays system is
under-enforced and that its
time that we update our awed
immigration policies.
This is a bi-partisan compro-
mise looking to make real prog-
ress on immigration.
First of all, it secures the bor-
der using more border patrol,
better technology and a big
fence.
It also creates a process,
not amnesty, through which
legal status can be earned.
The process is not simple and
involves paying a ne, paying
back taxes and waiting a con-
siderable time before having a
chance to get a green card.
Its not fast, but its fair and
it will make us safer by identi-
fying who is here in our coun-
try working and who is here
with ill-motives.
As a city and nation of
immigrants, youd think we
would understand how to work
together and enact reasonable
policies.
I hope Senator Toomey looks
for compromise and votes for
this bill, and that his colleagues
in the house join him as well.
Alan Lispi
Old Forge
America with its democratic
system, rules of law, and open
market economy has produced
the best living situation in the
history of civilization.
However, our dreams have
been curtailed the last 25 years
as the rising cost of doing busi-
ness in this country reduced
the ability of the average
household to nd employment
that allows the same standard
of living the last two genera-
tions have enjoyed.
There is a way to stop our
slide and regain levels of
employment so that we and
future generations benet.
There is a bill in Congress,
HR 25, the FairTax Bill, that
abolishes taxes on income and
payroll taxes and replaces them
with a consumption tax on new
goods and services.
In addition there is a pre-
bate system that untaxes pur-
chases by all Americans up to
federally calculated levels. The
poor pay less and big spenders
would likely pay more.
Passage of the bill would
result in the return of offshore
money, more than $14 trillion,
to be invested in the USA. Full
employment returns as do high
paying jobs.
The only losers are the IRS,
which eventually is defunded,
and the special interests groups
that have helped create the
income tax mess we use today.
I doubt many tears will be shed.
Call your Congressman
today and ask that he co-spon-
sor the bill today.

Whistleblower acts
belie noble claims
Brazilian spring
cooled by world cup
cOMMENTARY
BY FLITTING from one
authoritarian country to anoth-
er and hoping, like WikiLeaks
founder Julian Assange, to end
up in the embrace of Ecuador,
the fugitive US spy agency con-
tractor Edward Snowden is mak-
ing a mockery of his claims to be
a high-minded whistle blower
acting purely in the interests of
freedom and basic liberties.
His trajectory from Hong
Kong a Special Administrative
Region of China, which has been
severely criticized for its human
rights record and pervasive cyber
espionage onwards to Russia,
where the denition of treason
and espionage has been expand-
ed to include international advo-
cacy on human rights, is hardly
reassuring for those trying to
draw comparisons between
Snowden and Daniel Ellsberg.
According to Assange,
Snowdens nal goal is political
asylum in Ecuador, possibly trav-
elling via Cuba and Venezuela.
The three Latin American coun-
tries share poor human rights
records. Ecuador, which is pro-
viding refuge for Assange in
London, has a history of oppres-
sion against media freedom that
was reinforced recently with a
so-called gag law condemned
by Human Rights Watch.
This does not appear to have
bothered Assange. Nor, appar-
ently, does it bother Snowden,
who is seeking to mount his
case against the US over global
surveillance programs by the
National Security Agency.
The US, as Human Rights
Watch attests, has a vibrant civil
society and media that enjoy
strong constitutional protec-
tions the ideals Snowden
says he holds dear. Like Assange,
who is seeking to avoid fac-
ing charges in Sweden, a liberal
democracy with a ne legal tradi-
tion, Snowden is ill-serving the
cause he espouses by seeking
help from authoritarian regimes
antagonistic to the freedoms he
claims to value.
U.S. senator Dianne Feinstein,
a Democrat with a long record
of support for liberal causes, has
said of Snowden: I dont think
running is a noble thought.
Shes right: if he really believed
in what he was doing and wanted
to be taken seriously as a whistle
blower, Snowden would have
done better to stay home and
defend himself. Like Assange, he
is being compromised by his own
unfortunate choices.
The Australian, Sydney
WHEN MASS demonstrations
galvanised in the Middle East
and North Africa two years ago,
the leaders were quick to dismiss
them as temporary agitation.
Even when the protests gained
momentum with every passing
week, the dictators were hesitant
to offer anything other than a
vague, half-hearted promise of
reforms to the angry protesters.
Interestingly, the democratical-
ly elected Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan treated
the protests no differently. As
the protests in Istanbul expanded
over time, and their point of con-
tention shifted from the govern-
ments plan to cut down trees in
Istanbuls Gezi Park to Erdogans
alleged authoritarian policies and
the waning of secular institu-
tions, Erdogan still appeared to
stick his guns. The only real con-
cession he is willing to make is
putting a halt on the construction
plans at Gezi Park.
Sowhat isit that madeBrazilian
President Dilma Rousseff read-
ily relent in the face of public
demonstrations? Roussef, faced
with mammoth protest rallies in
over 100 cities in Brazil, has been
quick to propose political reforms
in her country. And her proposal
is denitely more specic than
the promises Bashar Al Assad
or Hosni Mubarak made when
protests in their countries inten-
sied.
The reason for Roussefs pli-
ant attitude might be because she
is new to power. Unlike Hosni
Mubarak or Moammer Gadda
or even Erdogan, who is serving
his second term as prime minis-
ter, Roussef was elected only two
years ago and therefore does not
have supreme condence in her
own power. More importantly,
the World Cup will be held in
Brazil next year and the country
needs to have peace on its streets
if it is going to attract tourists and
manage the grand sporting affair.
The Brazilian Spring appears to
have been cooled by the govern-
ments reconciliatory posture.

CHRISTMAS is
doing a little some-
thing extra for some-
one. Charles Schulz,
cartoonist and creator
of the comic strip,
Peanuts.
For most of us, we
have just started to
enjoy the summer and
were not even thinking
about the Christmas
season, which seems like
a long way off. Yet, for 25
years, the United Way of
Wyoming Valley has promoted
Christmas in July and in this
special anniversary year, we
are hoping that you will be
willing to do a little some-
thing extra for someone.
Christmas in July is the
United Ways annual food
drive. Each year, we ask com-
panies and their employees
to collect food and monetary
donations during the month
of July in support of the
Weinberg Regional Food Bank
operated by the Commission
for Economic Opportunity,
local food pantries through-
out the Wyoming Valley and
a number of non-prot agen-
cies that supply food
and other essentials to
those they serve.
During the tradi-
tional holiday season,
many reflect on the
blessings in their lives
and tend to show their
gratitude with charita-
ble acts and donations.
Generally speaking,
this isnt necessarily
the case during the summer
as we are busy planning our
vacations and other summer-
time activities. The United
Ways Christmas in July ini-
tiative brings awareness to
the needs of others during
this time and calls on those
who can to help those in need.
The sad fact is that hunger
doesnt know a season and,
unfortunately, according to
Gene Brady, the longtime
Executive Director of CEO, the
number of area residents need-
ing food donations has grown
ten percent in the last year as
the impact of the recession
lingers on. Monsignor Kelly
of Catholic Social Services
also reports that the numbers
of people being served at the
soup kitchen has increased
signicantly from just a few
years ago.
In many ways, while
America is the land of plenty,
for far too many 1 in 7 of
us in Luzerne County, hunger
is a reality and a daily strug-
gle. The rate among children
in Luzerne County who are
food insecure is a bewilder-
ing 22.6%.
Last years Christmas in
July Food Drive collected the
equivalent of 70,170 pounds
of food. It represented the
best collection since the start
of the economic downturn in
2008 and the fth highest col-
lection of our rst 24 years.
This year, not only do we hope
to break a record, we need to!
The need is just too great.
I am hoping that we exceed
100,000 pounds of food.
To this end, I am thrilled
that the number of companies,
labor unions and organizations
that have already signed up to
participate in the 25th Annual
Christmas in July Food Drive
has doubled last years total.
As advocates for our commu-
nity, our staff at the United
Way is grateful to all the com-
panies who have embraced
this challenge. They have our
applause and heartfelt appre-
ciation for their willingness to
make a difference for others in
our community.
It is never too late to help.
Community groups, business-
es of all sizes, churches and
even individuals can sign up
by calling 829-6711. All we ask
is that you bring your dona-
tions of food or monetary gifts
to the Weinberg Food Bank on
July 31st between 10am and
1pm. Its that easy.
For most of us, the holiday
season is still five months
away. For others, especially
those in need and children
who consistently may not
have enough to eat, Christmas
in July cannot come fast
enough. Many, many thanks
to all those who will answer
the call to do a little some-
thing extra for someone.
and that, Charlie Brown, is
what Christmas is all about.

the United Way of Wyoming Valley. He can

When it comes to hunger, tis always the season

fnd value in libraries
TEENS AND young adults are
just as likely as older Americans
to use the public library. You
could look it up.
Although young people might
reach for a cellphone to nd out
whether thats true the Pew
Research Centers Internet &
American Life Project says it
is their access to hand-held
electronic devices has not cut
into their reliance on the library.
Fully 18 percent of themeven use
their mobile devices to access a
librarys website.
According to Pews telephone
survey of 2,200 people conducted
last fall, Americans under age 30
borrow print books and browse
library shelves at rates similar
to older people. Although they
are more likely to use comput-
ers there or to meet with friends
or study there 80 percent of
Americans between 16 and 29
years old said librarians were
very important and 82 percent
said they had read at least one
book in the past year.
Such support must continue
if libraries are to serve their cus-
tomers of any age.

Summary: Drenching thunderstorms will once again threaten to cause flooding
problems across the East today, while the historical heat wave continues to bake
the West with the beaches being the exception.
This is exactly what
I had in my mind,
Friedman said Thursday
as preparations were
underway for one of the
soft openings.
The former owner of
Friedman Electric would
not disclose the cost of
redoing the inn to his
specications, only say-
ing it was a signicant
investment to be able to
provide the nest atmo-
sphere and service for his
guests.
My goal is to make
this one of, if not the, top
restaurants in the area,
Friedman said.
The inn built in 1948
looks the same from the
outside, but the property
and interior have been
given a new look.
The grounds have more
than 1,500 plants, with
each of the varieties of
trees, shrubs and perenni-
als labeled by landscaper
Rob Rave, said Friedman.
Witch hazel, cranesbill
and Marcus Sage bloom
along the walkways. A
booklet identifying the
200 varieties of plants
and Beaumont Botanical
Gardens tours is planned.
Leonard Creek runs
beneath a wooden walk-
ing bridge and behind
the inn and borders the
3,000 square-foot, eld
stone patio and terrace.
Speakers resembling
rocks have been placed
throughout the patio
area, which has seating
for 90 to 100 people.
The interior dining
room seats approximately
80 and the bar and lounge
approximately 50.
General Manager Ed
Sampiero relished his new
surroundings, saying, I
am thrilled. He moved
her from Ohio, where he
held similar jobs in the
hospitality industry.
When guests check in
theyll be greeted by Liz
Lynch, whose business
card lists her as innkeep-
er. Shell dote on them
too.
My job is to make sure
theyre very comfortable
and happy. she said.
Guests can choose
from the two king-size,
six queen and two double
beds in the second-oor
rooms. Each room has its
own bathroom, at screen
television and decor.
Carved wooden birds
adorn the headboard in
one of the rooms.
Everybody loves the
birds, Lynch said.
The horseshoe-shaped
bar with the glass block
base was in the inn when
it opened. Earl Johnson
built it and his great
granddaughter Amy Giuli
will see it in her role as
assistant manager/event
coordinator. Giuli said
her uncle was a bartender
at the inn.
Instead of applying for
the job, it more or less
found her in neighboring
Beaumont.
I am kind of meant to
be here, Giuli said.
Another local con-
nection can be found
in the kitchen, where
West Pittston native and
Executive Chef John
Golecki, 34, is in charge.
The Wyoming Area
graduate studied at the
Culinary Institute of
America in Hyde Park,
N.Y. Hes worked in Cape
May, N.J. at the Ebbit
Room and at Congress
Hall and Ceasars in
Atlantic City, among
other places.
Golecki returned to
the area and contacted
Friedman. Four interviews
later, he landed the job.
He said he has a pas-
sion for seafood, and
wants to bring a bit of
New York and south New
Jersey cuisine to the res-
taurant.
From top to bottom
there are approximately
30 people on staff, and
Friedmans satised hes
got the right people in
place.
Three recent elections
Seldom, but not unheard of. A review of school board
races in the last three general elections 2007, 2009,
and 2011 shows that while you might be safe betting
a few bucks on cross-le winners, you shouldnt bet the
house.
There are 11 school boards in Luzerne County,
meaning there were 33 board races in the three years
combined. Of those, 14 were virtually settled in the pri-
maries, with the number of winning candidates equal
to or less than the number of seats available in those
districts.
In the remaining 19 races, a total of 102 candidates
ran for 72 seats. More than half had cross-led and won
nominations from both parties; thats 56 people who
went into the general election with a presumed guar-
antee of victory. Yet in the end three lost, despite their
cross-le advantage.
Perhaps more telling, there were nine other cases
where a cross-led candidate won a seat in November,
but received fewer total votes than a single-party can-
didate in the same race.
The reasons a cross-led candidate loses, or wins but
gets fewer votes than a single-party candidate, can be
both obvious and subtle, Sosar and Wilkes University
Political Science Professor Tom Baldino said.
It may be name recognition, Baldino said. In theo-
ry, the candidate who ran and won on both party tick-
ets in the primary should enter November with more
of it. Even if I was a registered Republican, if I win
on both tickets people who vote in the Democratic pri-
mary would have seen my name.
But in the end, a single-party nominee with higher
name recognition can best a two-party candidate fewer
people recognize. There are no qualications to be a
school board director, Baldino said. And from much
of what Ive seen around here, winners tend to be the
best known and not necessarily the best qualied.
Incumbency factors in
Cross-led winners who are incumbents face an addi-
tional risk, Sosar said: Voter dissatisfaction with their
performance on the board as the general election nears.
I think the real issue with school boards is that you
cant win. Its a highly criticized position, and regard-
less of what you do you will anger some people and
please others, Sosar said. Every political ofce is like
that, but because of the kind of money you talk about
with school boards its much worse.
He noted, for example, that the budget for the
Hazleton Area School District is comparable to the
budget for Luzerne County government.
There is also an X-factor introduced in general
elections that candidates dont face in the primary:
Independent candidates. The primary elections in
Pennsylvania are races designed to pick nominees for
the Republican and Democratic parties who compete
in the general election in fact, Sosar and Baldino
noted, the whole point of allowing candidates to cross
le was to take politics out of school board races. But
the general election is not restricted to the two parties.
An independent can le to run in November, Sosar
said. In fact anyone can run as a write in.
Victory is rare, but it can occur. In fact, in Luzerne
County, the three times cross-led candidates lost in
the last three elections, they lost to independents
All three losses also occurred in the same district:
Wyoming Area. In 2009, independents Gil Dominick
and Frank Casarella beat two successful cross-led
candidates who were on both the Democratic and
Republican ballots: incumbent John LaNunziata and
newcomer Michael Auere. In 2011, Independent
Mary Louise Degnan beat incumbent Toni Valenti, who
had won both party nominations in the spring primary.
There is one other potential pratfall for candidates
tho cross le and run on both tickets in the primary,
Baldino noted. Lets say Im a registered Republican
and I put my name on both ballots and I lose on the
Republican side. I am now a Republican running on a
Democratic ticket. Around here there are Democrats
and Republicans who will vote strictly for the party
label. Even though Im a Republican, I wont get any
Republican votes because Im on the Democratic tick-
et.

massed not far from the presi-
dential palace in support of
Morsi, some of them prepared
for a ght with makeshift armor
and sticks.
At least four people were killed
Sunday in shootings at anti-Mor-
si protesters in southern Egypt.
The protesters aimed to show
by sheer numbers that the coun-
try has irrevocably turned against
Morsi, a year to the day after he
was inaugurated as Egypts rst
freely elected president. But
throughout the day and even up
to midnight at the main rallying
sites, fears of rampant violence
did not materialize.
Instead the mood was largely
festive as protesters at giant anti-
Morsi rallies in Cairos central
Tahrir Square and outside the
Ittihadiya palace spilled into side
streets and across boulevards,
waving ags, blowing whistles
and chanting.
Fireworks went off overhead.
Men and women, some with
small children on their shoulders,
beat drums, danced and sang,
By hook or by crook, we will
bring Morsi down. Residents
in nearby homes showered water
on marchers below some car-
rying tents in preparation to
camp outside the palace to
cool them in the summer heat,
and blew whistles and waved
ags in support.
Mubarak took only 18 days
although he had behind him the
security, intelligence and a large
sector of Egyptians, said Amr
Tawfeeq, an oil company employ-
ee marching toward Ittihadiya
with a Christian friend. Morsi
wont take long. We want him
out and we are ready to pay the
price.
The massive outpouring against
Morsi, culminating a year of grow-
ing polarization, raises the ques-
tion of what is next. Protesters
have vowed to stay on the streets
until he steps down, and organiz-
ers called for widespread labor
strikes starting Monday. The pres-
ident, in turn, appears to be hop-
ing protests wane.
For weeks, Morsis supporters
have depicted the planned pro-
test as a plot by Mubarak loyal-
ists. But their claims were under-
mined by the extent of Sundays
rallies. In Cairo and a string of
cities in the Nile Delta and on
the Mediterranean coast, the pro-
tests topped even the biggest pro-
tests of the 2011s 18-day upris-
ing, including the day Mubarak
quit, Feb. 11, when giant crowds
marched on Ittihadiya.

exercise, Senate Majority
Leader Dominic Pileggi said
Sunday evening. The other
(concern) is the House does
have a transportation bill
that was sent to them that 45
members of the Senate are
very concerned about and
wed like to see action on that
bill.
In another sign of trou-
ble, Pileggi said the House
Republican transportation
bill which is approxi-
mately $500 million less per
year than a plan that passed
the Senate in early June by a
45-5 vote lacked support
in the Senate.
We dont think its suffi-
cient revenue, Pileggi said.
We think the bare minimum
is what was in the Senate
plan.
The Senate also approved
legislation to potentially
expand Medicaid eligibility
to hundreds of thousands of
adult Pennsylvanians under
the 2010 federal health care
law. With staunch opposition
among House Republicans,
the issue could become a
sticking point as lawmakers
consider the other budget-
related bills.

while riding favorite
Captaintreacherous to his
fth straight victory all
in 2013 in the annual
Max C. Hempt Memorial.
In the nal race, 7-1
shot Corky piloted by
David Miller rode the
four post to an upset
in the Earl Beal Jr.
Memorial, outdistancing
favorites Smilin Eli and
Royalty for Life to return
an investment of $16 on a
$2 wager.
While each was signi-
cant, Foiled Again took
the spotlight in the Ben
Franklin.
The win meant an
amazing number for the
horse reaching the $5
million mark for his life-
time.
He gives me chills, I
can tell you that, Gingras
said. What an amazing
horse.
Foiled Again seemed
to t the bill hitting
the board in ve of his
rst 11 starts in 2013.
Yet, there were questions
about peaking at the right
time. Past performances
have shown that the nine-
year-old has a tendency of
struggling in the summer,
while bouncing back in
the fall.
Gingras, himself,
admitted that. The jock-
ey jumped out of the
sulky two races prior to
Saturday at Tioga Downs
before hoping back in the
bike on June 22.
At some point in the
last ve years, each of us
probably wrote him off,
the jockey said in the
winners circle. But hes
never been any good in

Avalanche make
MacKinnon 1st
pick of NHL draf
DAN GELSTON
AP Sports Writer
NEWARK, N.J. Nathan MacKinnon and Sidney
Crosby now share more than a hometown.
Theyve both been No. 1 picks in the NHL draft.
The Colorado Avalanche made the 17-year-old
MacKinnon the rst pick of the draft on Sunday at the
Prudential Center.
The Avalanche won the draft lottery for the rst time
in team history and Joe Sakic, the man put in charge
of Colorados rebuilding project, had made it clear that
MacKinnon was going to be the top pick. He was the
rst player drafted No. 1 overall out of the Quebec
Major Junior Hockey League since the Pittsburgh
Penguins selected Crosby in 2005.
MacKinnon and Crosby are both from Cole Harbour,
Nova Scotia.
I love Sid. Hes my favorite player, MacKinnon said.
I guess hes still my favorite player. I dont really know
what to say now since Im going to be in the same league
as him. I dont know if I should dislike him or not.
MacKinnon, a 6-foot, 182-pound center, said it all
with a laugh. But hes serious about making the big
club this season with Colorado.
Hopefully, I can make the team and stick there,
MacKinnon said. I feel like I can be a contributor next year.
MacKinnon is a solid two-way presence with
strong hands and stick-handling and skating skills.
He is considered a natural scorer and an excel-
lent distributor. Sakic, a former Avalanche captain
who is now the executive vice president of hockey
operations, ended the guessing game in the nal
week when he said MacKinnon would be their pick.
Kenseth triumphs at delayed Kentucky race
Gary Graves
AP Sports Writer
SPARTA, KY. Matt
Kenseth has raced long
enough to know that rough
starts can still have good
outcomes.
Especially when his crew
chief takes chances.
Case in point was
Kenseths fuel-only pit stop
gamble that helped him beat
Jimmie Johnson late to win
the rescheduled 400-mile
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
race Sunday at Kentucky
Speedway.
A race that was Johnsons
to lose ultimately became
Kenseths series-high fourth
victory of the season and
third on a 1.5-mile track
after crew chief Jason Ratcliff
passed on putting new tires
on the No. 20 Toyota follow-
ing the races ninth caution.
I thought he was slightly
crazy when that happened,
said Kenseth, who widened
his lead when the eld went
four-wide after the restart on
lap 246 and saw Johnsons
No. 48 Chevy spin from sec-
ond place on a day he led
three times for 182 of 267
laps.
I didnt think there was
any way that we were going
to hold on for that win. He
made the right call at the
right time and those guys got
it done.
Kenseth led twice for 38
laps, including the nal 23.
Johnson, the ve-time cham-
pion and series points leader,
nished ninth and leads Carl
Edwards by 38.
The restart bothered
Johnson, who accused
Kenseth of breaking the pace
car speed. But Johnson took
solace in salvaging his 11th
top-10 despite between sand-
wiched in the logjam that
could have been worse.
We were kind of in an awk-
ward situation in that restart
there, he said. We were like
three- and four-wide going
in the corner, then some-
thing happened with the air
and just kind of turned me
around. Unfortunate, but at
least we rallied back for a
good nish.
Second was Jamie
McMurray in a Chevy, fol-
lowed by Clint Bowyer
(Toyota), Joey Logano
(Ford) and Kyle Busch
(Toyota).
Rain Saturday night forced
NASCAR ofcials to post-
pone the race to a daytime
start.
The event was red-agged
for 18 minutes following
a seven-car wreck involv-
ing defending race and
Sprint Cup winner Brad
Keselowski, who returned to
nish 33rd. It was the big-
gest incident of 10 cautions
for 42 laps, but things were
clean after Johnson brought
out the nal yellow ag.

No more delays for Mikiewicz
Paul Sokoloski
psokoloski@timesleader.com
EXETER As a member of
Fox Hill Country Club, John
Mikiewicz is reminded of some
big memories on the course
each time he walks into the
clubhouse.
Every time I walk in, I look
at the boards, Mikiewicz said.
The club championship board.
Match play board. And of
course, every board at the John
Allan.
Now, his name is also part of
Fox Hills illustrious history.
Neither soft grounds nor rain
delays disrupted the brilliant
consistency of Mikiewicz and
his teammate Tom Biscotti,
who cruised to the Allan
Memorial championship with
an 11-under 167 by remaining
calm through Sundays stormy
tournament nale.
We just played steady,
Biscotti said. We hung in
there and I had a great partner.
He was on all day.
Actually, the duo has been
clicking for awhile.
The tandem also took the
Wyoming Valley Classic at
the end of last summer, claim-
ing two of Northeastern
Pennsylvanias top amateur golf
tournaments in less than a year.
This is huge, said Biscotti,
35, from Mountain Top.
Indeed, Biscotti and
Mikiewicz were forced to fend
off some big names - starting
with last years Allan champi-
onship team of Rich Laneski
and Brandon Matthews. That
duo nished 10th this year
with a 175.
We had a great time, Rick is
a great guy, said Matthews, a
former high school state cham-
pion at Pittston Area whos
now starring for Temples golf
team and barely missed making
the U.S. Open at Merion. We
just didnt have it this year. Im
at home here. This is my home.
No one treats me any differ-
ently, everyone treats me the
same.
After a rough start to the
weekend, Laneski hit a couple
key shots during Sundays
regular round to help his team
advance to the top 12 which
golfed nine extra holes Sunday.
Brandon and I had fun,
Laneski said. To come back
and make the nal 12 as
defending champions, it was a
great weekend.
A couple other teams made
great tries at the top.

Get ready for some
unfamiliar names
at Wimbledon
LONDON With
Roger Federer and Rafael
Nadal long gone, and
Maria Sharapova out, too,
after a havoc-lled Week
1 at the All England Club,
Week 2 of Wimbledon
begins Monday with a
schedule that includes par-
ticipants such as Kenny
de Schepper and Adrian
Mannarino, Ivan Dodig
and Jerzy Janowicz, Karin
Knapp and Monica Puig.
None of that group has
played in a fourth-round
match at any Grand Slam
tournament.
Members of the usual
cast of characters are
still around, of course,
such as Serena Williams,
Novak Djokovic and Andy
Murray. None of that trio
has dropped so much as
a single set yet; all are
expected to be around by
next weekend.
Still, Djokovic likes
the idea of some play-
ers getting a chance to
introduce themselves to
a wider audience.
Its interesting to
see new faces for the

AJACCIO, COrsICA Behind
Jan Bakelants, the Belgian who rode
with guts and guile to win stage Two
at the Tour de France, there were
other smaller but no less impressive
victories sunday that dont get so
widely noticed by the races riding
wounded.
In other circumstances, logic
would prescribe rest, recovery and
TLC for the likes of Geraint Thomas,
who was among the more badly beat-
en up of the dozen or so riders who
slammed into the tarmac in a vicious
high-speed pileup a day earlier in the
frenetic end of stage One.
But the moving circus that is the
Tour waits for no man, even those
with deep cuts, evil bruises or, like
Thomas, teeth-grinding pain in his
left hip that made it difcult for him
to walk, let alone hold his place in the
worlds toughest bike race.
In other sports, players who pick
up knocks generally get at least a few
days to heal before the next game.
But the Tours injured are afforded
no such luxury. For them, the choice
is either to soldier on with their
aches and pains, hoping for a better
tomorrow, or be among the rst to
quit. Which, for many of them, isnt
much of a choice at all.
so a whopping 17 minutes and
35 seconds after Bakelants gave the
chasing pack the slip and got the
stage win that, for now at least, also
secured him the race leaders yellow
jersey, Thomas hauled himself across
the nishing line.
It feels a bit like a win in itself,
said the 27-year-old Welshman who
rides for sky, the team of Chris
Froome, this years favorite.
At 97 miles, the stage from the east
to the west coast of Corsica, from
Bastia to Ajaccio, both of them ports,
was one of the shortest of this 100th
Tour. But for Thomas, it felt like an
eternity.
Bakelants got to celebrate on the
podium and share his joy.
Its fantastic, the radioshack
team rider said. Thomas just got
to ght make that suffer for
another day.
From the eld of 198 riders, just
two nished behind Thomas. The
other 195 were ahead.
He said saturdays pileup is a bit
of a blur.
I remember just ipping straight
over and, you know, just landing
straight on my back, he said.
Froomes most dangerous rival
for overall victory, two-time former
champion Alberto Contador, was
another of those caught in that crash.
The spaniard said he, too, was sore
on sunday, although he rode well
staying in the main pack that nished
one second behind Bakelants.
It was difcult to start off. There
is pain in your whole body, Contador
said. You feel bad here, here and
here, he said, pointing to his shoul-
der and elbow and hip.
Froome and other candidates
for overall victory also were in
Contadors group. so going into
Mondays stage, the third and last on
Corsica before the Tour crosses back
onto the French mainland, the main
contenders remain on an equal foot-
ing.
Froome, however, looks particular-
ly fresh and strong. On the road into
Ajaccio, the Briton made an impres-
sion and maybe scored a few psycho-
logical points by sprinting away from
the pack for a while.
It was a tactical move that perhaps
would have impressed Ajaccios most
famous son, Napoleon Bonaparte,
the wily military and political leader
of France born there in 1769.

sOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. Inbee
Park won the U.s. Womens Open on
sunday to make history with titles in
the years rst three majors. The worlds
top-ranked player nished at 8 under to
win by four strokes. Her 2-over 74 in the
nal round was more than enough, with
sebonacks trying conditions keeping any
rivals frommaking a run. Only three play-
ers were under par for the tournament.
Fellowsouth Korean I.K. Kimalso shot
74 for her second runner-up nish at a
major.
No player had ever won the rst three
majors in a year with at least four.
Im just very glad to put my name in
history, Park said. Ahead by four strokes
at the start of the round, Park birdied the
ninth and 10th holes to extend her lead.
she has won six times already this year,
including three straight tournaments.
Park added a second U.s. Womens Open
title to another historic victory in 2008,
when she became the events youngest
champion at age 19. so Yeon ryu, the
2011 champion, shot 72 to nish third at
1 under. south Korean players took the
top three spots and have won the last ve
majors.
The only player to win the years rst
three majors was Babe Zaharias in 1950
when there were only three. The women
now have ve majors, so Grand slam
might not quite be the right term if she
wins all of them. Up next is the Womens
British Open at st.
Andrews on Aug. 1-4. The Evian
Championship is sept. 12-15 in France.
Park also became the second player to
win the U.s. Womens Open after victo-
ries in her previous two tournaments.
Mickey Wright did it in 1964.
AT&T National
BETHEsDA, MD. Bill Haas won
the AT&T National and joined some dis-
tinguished company.
Haas pulled away from a crowd of con-
tenders with three straight birdies, two
key pars and one good hop out of the
rough. It led to a 5-under 66 on a muggy
day at Congressional and a three-shot win
over roberto Castro. As many as six play-
ers had a share of the lead at some point
until Haas rolled in a 10-foot birdie putt
on No. 8. Worried about a splotch of mud
on his ball, he hit his approach to just
inside 12 feet for birdie on the par-5 ninth,
and then hit a 5-iron to 10 feet for another
birdie on the 10th.
Haas ledby at least twoshots the entire
back nine, though he never allowed him-
self to think about winning until he stood
over a 3-foot par putt on the 18th hole and
realized he had three putts to win.
Haas has won at least one PGA Tour
event in each of the last four years, join-
ing Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and
Justin rose.
And with a half-dozen players trying to
win for the rst time on tour, Haas kept
a high pedigree of winner at the AT&T
National.
In the seven-year history of the tourna-
ment, rose was the lowest-ranked player
to win at No. 35 in 2010 at Aronimink.
Haas, who nished at 12-under 272,
entered the week 29th. The 31-year-old
won for the fth time in his career, and
this was the rst one with Tiger Woods
on the property not
to play, but to hand
out the trophy. Woods
sat out this week with
an elbow injury and
wont play again until
the British Open.
Senior Players
Championship
PI TTs BUrGH
Kenny Perry won
the senior Players
Championship for his
rst major title, over-
taking Fred Couples with a nal round
6-under 64. Perry nished at 19-under
261 at Fox Chapel, two shots ahead of
Couples and Duffy Waldorf.
The 52-year-old Perry opened with a 71
and shot consecutive 63s in the next two
rounds. Perry was runner-up in the 1996
PGA Championship and 2009 Masters
while playing as a regular on the PGA
Tour.
He tied for second in the senior PGA
Championshiplast month. Couples closed
with a 68, and Waldorf shot 64.

three strokes for his 12th European Tour
title. Casey closed with a 5-under 67 to
nish at 14-under 274 at Carton House.

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL
July 1
1910 Comiskey Park then known as White Sox Park
held its frst major league game, with the St. Louis
Browns beating Chicago 2-0.
1917 Fred Toney of the Cincinnati Reds pitched
complete-game victories in a doubleheader against
the Pittsburgh Pirates. Toney threwa three-hitter in
each game for 4-1 and 5-1 wins, setting a record for the
fewest hits allowed in a doubleheader by a pitcher.
1920 Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators
defeated the Boston Red Sox 1-0 at Fenway Park with
the seasons only no-hitter.
1925 Hack Wilson of the NewYork Giants hit two
home runs in the third inning of a 16-7 victory over
the Philadelphia Phillies in the second game of a
doubleheader. Wilson also doubled twice during the
game.
1941 Joe DiMaggio of the NewYork Yankees singled
of Bostons Jack Wilson in the fourth inning, tying Willie
Keelers hitting streak of 44 games.
1951 Bob Feller of the Indians pitched his third career
no-hitter, beating the Detroit Tigers 2-1 in the frst game
of a doubleheader at Cleveland.
1990 Andy Hawkins of the NewYork Yankees pitched
the sixth no-hitter in the majors this season and the
third in less than 48 hours, but lost 4-0 to the Chicago
White Sox on two outfeld errors in the eighth inning.
1994 Baltimore and California tied a major league
record by combining for 11 home runs in the Orioles
14-7 victory. Jefrey Hammonds hit two homers for
Baltimore.
1997 Detroits Bobby Higginson homered in the
frst inning against the NewYork Mets, tying a major
league record by homering in four consecutive at-bats
over two games. Higginson, who struck out looking in
his next at-bat, became the 23rd player since 1900 to
accomplish the feat and the fourth Tiger.
2002 Los Angeles Eric Gagne picked up his 30th
save in a 4-0 win over Arizona, reaching that mark in
the Dodgers 82nd game a major league record. The
previous mark was 83 games by Bobby Thigpen with
the Chicago White Sox in 1990 and Lee Smith with St.
Louis in 1993.
2009 One run was enough for a victory for three
National League teams, the frst time in 33 years there
were three 1-0 games in one league on the same day.
The Mets, Dodgers and Reds came away with 1-0
victories. The last time there were three 1-0 games in
one league was Sept. 1, 1976, in the NL.

Ross nished in second
place, two strokes off the
lead at 169. Defending
Fox Hill club champion
Ed Hennigan and six-time
Irem Temple Country
Club champ Jim Hoover
teamed up to shoot 170
and place third. And PGA
hopeful Matt Teesdale
and his partner Dr.
Paul Keating had their
moments, including a
eld-low of 65 during
Fridays qualifying round,
while nishing tied for
fth at 173.
This is the best eld in
amateur golf in the area,
said Mikiewicz, 34, from
Old Forge, with potential
pros. Matt Teesdale and
Brandon Matthews, theyre
going to be on the Tour in
two years. Ed Hennigan and
Jim Hoover, theyre creden-
tials speak for themselves.
Tough competition
wasnt all Mikiewicz and
Biscotti had to overcome.
Sundays competition
was stopped three times
because of lightning
ashes, and edured a rain
delay that lasted nearly
90 minutes in the middle
of the action.
Every tournament that
Tom and I have been in
that we won, theres been
a rain delay, Mikiewicz
said. Maybe that was a
sign, getting us ready for
a big stage. We sat, we
walked around, we talked
to people. We practiced
when we could before the
nal nine (holes).
In the end, though, con-
sistency was the key for
Biscotti and Mikiewicz.
The tandem held a
two-stroke lead after
Saturdays opening
round, and increased it to
four strokes heading into
the nine-hole nish.
Why would the ending
be any different, even
with a little rain in their
way?
Exactly, Mikiewicz
said. Why would it be?
We never sweated a sin-
gle bogey.
Along with keeping
bogeys out of their way
through 27 holes Sunday,
Mikiewicz said the team
had a chance to hit 26
birdies - although they
converted just four.
We hit green after
green, birdie putt after
birdie putt, Mikiewicz
said. We didnt make
many, but we just hit great
shots and put ourselves in
a very comfortable place
- especially with how the
weather was. This was
the most comfortable Ive
ever been on a golf course
playing in a big tourna-
ment. When you let your
partner feel at ease, good
things always happen.
Mikiewicz
Gingras
From page 1B
From page 1B
the Ben Franklin. We
never got a check in it.
He usually tails off at this
time of year, and comes
back strong in the fall.
Hes a special horse.
The three outside
posts Modern Legend,
returning champ
Betterthancheddar and
Dynamic Youth all raced
to the lead around the
rst turn and down the
rst stretch.
Thats when Razzle
Dazzle and Foiled Again
made the rst-over move.
While Razzle Dazzle
raced ahead on the back-
stretch, Foiled Again and
Pet Rock remained within
striking distance com-
ing down the stretch
stride for stride before a
photo was needed to tell
that Foiled Again won by
the slimmest of margins.
I dont mind rst
over, Gingras said. No
offense to Razzle Dazzle,
but Ill take my shot. Hes
a great horse in his own
right, but I feel that we
have a special horse. At
this point, the $5 million,
its a number. In reality,
I want this horse to get
the recognition that he
deserves. At the end of
the day, he may not always
be the fastest horse, but
he outlasted all of them.
Hes been through three
generations of horses.
Some of those horses are
retired or gone to stud,
but hes still around and
banging around with four-
year-olds.
Tetrick stole the show
in the rst two major
races of the Sun Stakes.
Breaking out of the No.
8 post on a sloppy track,
the jockey navigated I
Luv The Nitelife to the
lead right out of the gate,
and later, enjoyed a per-
fect pocket trip around
the surface. He made his
move coming into the
homestretch, passing out
Shebestingin who led
most of the race and
Charisma Hanover to the
nish line in 1 minute, 50
seconds.
It was the llys fourth
straight win.
We were within two
heading for home. I knew
we had a winner, owner
Richard P. Young said. I
really tried to put the race
in perspective. I asked,
How can we get to the
front with ve horses
that want to be forwardly
placed from the eighth
post? I thought that we
needed to get a little
lucky. I wasnt expecting
it to be sloppy. It throws
another equation in
because you dont know
how she is going to react.
She had never been on a
sloppy track before.
It wasnt so easy for
Captaintreacherous in
the Hempt Memorial.
Breaking out of the No.
9 spot, Tetrick trailed for
most of the race needing
to go almost three wide in
the nal turn before clip-
ping Vegas Vacation right
at the nish line.
The horse is 5-for-5 in
2013, and has won 13 of
15 lifetime starts.
The horse has a will to
win. It just does what it
has to do to win, trainer
Tony Alagna said. When
he landed second over,
I knew we were in great
shape. Great horses nd
ways to win. When you
look through history,
great horses maybe dont
have the perfect blood
count all the time or
maybe dont feel perfect
after a race all the time,
but they win. Thats what
great horses do.
For Miller and Corky,
the bigger pot of gold
could be sitting at the end
of the rainbow.
Because of his Beal
win, the horse and own-
ers are eligible for a $1
million bonus from the
Pennsylvania Harness
Horsemen Association.
Corky would need to win
the Colonial Trot on Aug.
17 and a victory in the
Breeders Crown 3-Year-
Old Colt Trot on Oct.
19 to claim in the prize.
Both races will be held at
Pocono Downs.
Corky stood near the
front end Saturday in
the Beal, and was able to
chase down race favorite
Smilin Eli for his third
victory of 2013.
The horses overcame
a first-over trip to get to
the wire, Miller said.
I had a good feeling
about him, I really did.
Hes been performing the
last few weeks. Hes get-
ting better all the time.
Tonight is another step,
and well keep our fin-
gers crossed. Hopefully,
we can hold on another
month. Ever since Tioga,
hes gotten better. He
started off the year real
slow, but hes stronger
especially in the last
three weeks.
Corky has six wins in
14 lifetime starts.
Hes very laid back,
trainer Jimmy Takter
said. I always knew he
had something in him.
Hes been very consistent.
Hes starting to come into
himself.

NEWARK, N.J. The New
Jersey Devils have acquired
goalie Cory Schneider from
the Vancouver Canucks for the
ninth pick in the NHL draft.
The Canucks selected cen-
ter Bo Horvat on Sunday at
the Prudential Center.
Schneider seems in line
to be the eventual successor
to Martin Brodeur in net.
Schneider was on the market
once the Canucks were unable
to dump high-priced goalie
Roberto Luongo.
Brodeur, the NHLs career
wins leader, and Johan Hedberg
were the oldest goalie tandem
in the league last season.
Schneider can now be
groomed to take over for
Brodeur, 41, one of the NHLs
all-time great goalies. Brodeur
developed a neck injury in
February and missed almost
a month. Johan Hedberg took
over and the team went 3-8-2.
Brodeur has only ever
played for New Jersey, and has
led the Devils to three Stanley
Cup titles (1995, 2000, 2003).
Vancouver general manager
Mike Gillis has been wres-
tling with a tough goaltender
situation for some time. Both
Schneider and Luongo have
the skill-sets to be full-time
NHL starters, and have been
so over their careers. But as
the team moves forward into a
new era with new coach John
Tortorella behind the bench,
it was Schneider who was
moved out.
Schneider is only 27, and
ts right into New Jerseys
long-term plans. He has two
years left on a contract that
counts $4 million against the
salary cap.
The Devils, a year after win-
ning the Eastern Conference,
did not make the postseason
this year. The Canucks lost in
the rst round.
Pens trade Kennedy
PITTSBURGH The
Pittsburgh Penguins selected
goaltender Tristan Jarry in the
second round of the NHL Draft.
Taken 44th overall, Jarry
was Pittsburghs rst pick of
the day. He was 18-7, with a
1.61 goals-against average and
a .936 save percentage for the
Edmonton Oil Kings of the
Western Hockey League this
season. The 6-foot, 1-inch,
180-pound netminder backed
up Laurent Brossoit the past
two seasons.
Pittsburgh was slated to make
its rst pick of the day during
the third round (77th overall)
before agreeing to a deal with
the Sharks, sending forward
Tyler Kennedy to San Jose in
exchange for a second-round
pick. The Penguins sent that
pick along with their second pick
of the third round (89th overall)
to Columbus in exchange for the
44th overall pick.
Blackhawks trade Bolland
NEWARK, N.J. Dave
Bollands Game 6 game win-
ner is the last goal hell score
for the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Stanley Cup champions
traded Bolland to the Toronto
Maple Leafs for three draft
picks Sunday at the NHL draft.
The Blackhawks received
the 51st and 117th picks in
this years draft, and a fourth-
rounder next season.
The Boston Bruins had a
2-1 lead with 2 minutes left in
Game 6, and the Stanley Cup
was all but packed away for a
Game 7 back in Chicago.

champion in as many
events though Kenseth,
like Johnson, was due for
a breakthrough on the
1.5-mile oval.
He nished seventh
here last year and sixth in
the 2011 inaugural race.
However, victory didnt
seem likely for the 2003
Cup champion after quali-
fying 16th and running
outside the top 20 during
the rst quarter of the
event.
I thought our first
run, we were all right
and I guess probably
after the second run,
we were able to move
forward pretty good,
Kenseth said. I felt pret-
ty good about what we
had. I thought we need
to get it better.
From then on, the rst-
year Joe Gibbs Racing
driver was a peren-
nial top-ve contender.
Trouble was, he and other
hopefuls seemed to need
Johnson to suffer misfor-
tune to have any shot of
catching him. The way
he was running, that
appeared unlikely.
Turns out, Kenseth
needed to rely on the left-
side tires Ratcliff ordered
the previous stop. Taking
fuel only the nal time
allowed him to gain the
lead coming off pit road,
and the rubber held up on
the rough, bumpy track,
both on the restart and
through the nal laps.
Ratcliff was shocked
that more teams didnt
follow suit with that strat-
egy.
I felt like more guys
would make that call, and
so I thought it was worth
a shot to get out there,
the crew chief said.
The decision led to a
surprising late turn of
events, and the tense n-
ish in which McMurray
and Bowyer took turns
trying to chase down
Kenseth provided a nice
makeup after Saturday
nights washout.
In a season of struggles,
McMurray was just happy
with his rst top ve.
Every week its been
something, he said, so
its nice to have some
good luck.

crowd, for (the) tennis
world, in general, said
Djokovic, who might not
feel quite the same way
if he were among the 11
men and women seeded
in the top 10 who no lon-
ger are playing.
Truth is, there hasnt
been much variety of late
at Grand Slam tourna-
ments, especially at the
very end: Federer, Nadal
and Djokovic have won 31
of the past 33 titles.
Its good (to have)
change, in a way, because
its always expected, obvi-
ously, from top players
to reach the nal stages
of major events. When
it doesnt happen, its a
big surprise, said the
top-seeded Djokovic,
whose six Grand Slam
titles include Wimbledon
in 2011. Its a bit (of a)
strange feeling not to
have Federer or Nadal
at the second week of
a major. In the last 10
years, it was always one
of them.
Over a shorter stretch,
its also always been
Djokovic, who meets
35-year-old Tommy Haas
on Monday. Djokovic has
played in 16 consecutive
Grand Slam quarter-
nals the longest active
streak, now that Federers
36-major run is done.
At the past 10 Slams,
Djokovic has reached the
seminals every time,
picking up ve trophies
and three runner-up n-
ishes.
Murray, meanwhile, has
been a nalist at the last
three major tournaments
he entered and won the
U.S. Open in September,
only increasing the
expectation among the
locals that he can deliver
Britains rst male cham-
pion at Wimbledon in 77
years.
Nothing is guaranteed
right now, though.
Second week of a
Grand Slam is a new
start, especially here,
where you have (time)
off, said 15th-seeded
Marion Bartoli, the 2007
Wimbledon runner-up
who faces the 104th-
ranked Knapp, an Italian
making her rst appear-
ance in a majors fourth
round. Its really a new
tournament starting.
So on the traditional
middle Sundays day of
rest, there they were
on the practice courts
six-time Grand Slam
champion Djokovic, but
also Janowicz, whod
won a grand total of six
matches at major tour-
naments until this one;
2011 French Open cham-
pion and two-time major
runner-up Li Na, but
also 19-year-old Laura
Robson, the first British
woman to get this far
at the All England Club
since 1998. Juan Martin
del Potro, the 2009 U.S.
Open champion, wore
thick wraps of white
tape around his left
knee, which he hyper-
extended in a tumble
Saturday, and a strip
of black tape down the
back of that leg.
When play resumes
Monday with all 16
mens and womens
fourth-round matches
Wimbledon is the only
Grand Slam tournament
that sets things up that
way fans get a chance
to discover some folks
they might not recognize
immediately.
Five of the remaining
16 men are making their
fourth-round Wimbledon
debuts; only one in that
group has ever been
that far elsewhere. Six
never have reached a
Grand Slam quarter-
nal: de Schepper, Dodig,
Janowicz, Lukasz Kubot,
Mannarino, and Andreas
Seppi. Perhaps not coin-
cidentally, each of those
relatively unknown half-
dozen players beneted
from at least one of the
record-tying 13 walkovers
or mid-match retirements
from injury or illness so
far.
Four of the 16 women
left are hoping to reach a
major quarternal for the
rst time: Robson, Knapp,
19-year-old Monica Puig
of Puerto Rico, and 20th-
seeded Kirsten Flipkens
of Belgium.
The No. 1-ranked
Williams, naturally, is an
overwhelming favorite
to win the title. She is
a ve-time Wimbledon
champion, including last
year. She owns 16 Grand
Slam titles all told, while
the other 15 women in
the tournament own
two among them: Lis at
Roland Garros, and Petra
Kvitovas at Wimbledon in
2011.
Narrow the focus, and
facing Williams becomes
even more daunting.
She is 46-2 this season
and has won her past 34
matches, the longest win-
ning streak for a woman
since older sister Venus
35-match run in 2000.
They said it in the
media but I didnt real-
ly get my hopes up,
MacKinnon said. I was
denitely more nervous
than I expected to be a
couple of minutes before
the draft.
He played for the
Halifax Mooseheads and
led them to the Memorial
Cup championship.
MacKinnon, who turns
18 on Sept. 1, was named
tournament MVP after
scoring 13 points.
That was just the start
of a busy day at the home
of the New Jersey Devils,
who gave a jam-packed
crowd a reason to cheer
when the announced
they acquired goalten-
der Cory Schneider from
Vancouver. Schneider
seems in line to be the
eventual successor to
Martin Brodeur in net.
The rest of the teams
were busy planning their
future through the draft.
The Florida Panthers
made center Aleksander
Barkov, the top-ranked
European skater, the sec-
ond overall pick.
Tampa Bay took for-
ward Jonathan Drouin,
also out of Halifax, with
the third overall pick.
The Nashville Predators
pounced on defense-
man Seth Jones with
the fourth overall pick.
Jones, a 6-foot-4, 205-
pound defenseman, was
widely considered the top
prospect in the draft. He
was the top-ranked play-
er on the NHL Central
Scoutings nal list of
North American skaters.
He is the son of for-
mer NBA forward Popeye
Jones. Popeye Jones
paced the oor of the
Prudential Center and
said Seth slept great and
was calm in the nal
hours leading up to the
draft.

AP Markets Writer
NEW YORK The
stock market just had its
best rst half of the year
since 1998. Now what?
History suggests stock
investors will make more
money the second half of
the year.
Since World War II, a big
increase in the rst half of
a year has almost always
been followed by more
gains in the second half.
In the 68 years begin-
ning with 1946, the S&P
500 index has risen 10
percent or more 23 times,
according to data from
S&P Dow Jones Indices.
During those 23 years, the
market rose the second
half of the year 19 times.
Eleven of those years, or
nearly half, the S&P 500
rose at least 10 percent the
second half of the year.
The best second half
was in 1954, in the mid-
dle of the stock markets
longest bull run. Stocks
increased 26.2 percent
July-December. The worst
second half was in 1987.
The Black Monday mar-
ket crash was Oct. 19, and
stocks fell 17.4 percent the
second half of the year.
In years like this one, in
which stocks have started
with a gain of between 10
and 15 percent, the aver-
age second-half increase
has been 9.4 percent.
Those numbers sug-
gest that when a rally gets
going, it keeps going.
Of course, past perfor-
mance is no guarantee of
the markets future, and
investors face some hur-
dles in this years second
half. The Federal Reserve
has helped stocks rally
by forcing down interest
rates. But the central bank
is considering reducing
that stimulus later this
year. Also, concerns about
the Chinese economy, the
worlds second-largest,
have unsettled markets in
recent weeks.
But the factors that
drove the market methodi-
cally higher the rst ve
months of the year remain:
The housing market is
strengthening. Auto sales
are strong. Companies
continue to earn record
prots. Ination and inter-
est rates are ultra low.
The economy is grow-
ing moderately and may
pick up the second half of
the year.
Were going high-
er, said Phil Orlando,
Chief Equity Strategist
at Federated Investors.
Rising stock prices and
rising real estate prices
are making people feel bet-
ter about their nancial
condition So we think
that second-half GDP and
second-half earnings are
going to be better than the
rst half.
Orlando predicts that
the S&P 500 will end the
year at 1,750.
Although many inves-
tors had expected stocks to
climb this year, they were
surprised at the speed of
the advance early on. By
May 21, the S&P 500 had
climbed to a record 1,669
and was up 17 percent. A
day later, Fed chairman
Ben Bernanke said the cen-
tral bank was considering
pulling back on its stimu-
lus. The markets advance
cooled, and the S&P has
lost 3 percent since.
Add dividends to the
S&P 500s price rise and
the total return for inves-
tors is 13.8 percent the
most in 15 years.
Were not surprised at
the positive performance
across U.S. equity markets
this year because the fun-
damentals of the economy
are improving, says Steve
Rees, head of U.S. Equity
Strategy for JPMorgan
Private Bank. We were
surprised, though, at how
quickly we achieved that
performance at the start of
the year.
Here are the ve best
rst halves for the S&P
500 since World War II.
Data before 1957, when
the S&P 500 was launched,
combine the values for four
earlier S&P indices: the
industrials, utilities, nan-
cials and transportation:
1975. First half: up
41.7 percent. Second half:
down 3.2 percent.
The 1970s began with a
bull run, but things soon
went sour. The oil crisis of
1973-1974 caused oil pric-

DETROIT Ford has
agreed to x sticky throt-
tles on nearly 468,000
Ford Taurus and Mercury
Sable sedans.
Because of the compa-
nys decision, U.S. safety
regulators have closed
an investigation into the
problem.
Last fall, the National
Highway Trafc Safety
Administration began
investigating cars from
the 2000 through 2003
model years. The safe-
ty agency and Ford
received 100 complaints
about throttles on cars
with 3-Liter, four-valve
Duratec V-6 engines.
The agency says Ford
agreed to a customer sat-
isfaction campaign and
will x problems for free.
Ford says the throttle
cables can be damaged
or disconnected during
maintenance. Five crash-
es were reported, but no
injuries.
Dealers will inspect the
cables and add reinforce-
ment to tabs that hold the
cables in place. If the tabs
are missing, the whole
cable will be replaced.
NHTSA closed its
investigation this past
Wednesday, the agency
said in documents posted
Sunday on its website.
Ford says in a letter to
dealers that they should
replace throttle cables
that have missing reten-
tion tabs. All the vehicles
will get a reinforcement
clip that will better hold
the cables in place.
Ford was to mail letters
to owners starting June
24, and dealers were told
to repair vehicles even if
the owners dont have the
letters.
The Ford Taurus and
Mercury Sable and are
nearly identical cars. Ford
ended the Mercury brand
more than two years ago.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.
Ten years after it brought a
hefty dose of Las Vegas glitz,
glamour and luxury to Atlantic
City, the Borgata Hotel Casino
& Spa still dominates the mar-
ket: One of every ve dollars
gamblers lose in Atlantic City
goes into the Borgatas coffers.
Its challenge over the next 10
years is to maintain that leader-
ship position in the 12-casino
market as ever-increasing com-
petition in nearby states and the
approach of Internet gambling
have the potential to reshufe
things.
The reason we come here
is because its reminiscent of
everything Las Vegas is like, and
we love Vegas, said Anthony
Corso of New York City in
between hands of blackjack
last week. Its very clean, very
accommodating, the dealers are
really friendly. It has a refresh-
ing atmosphere compared with
many of the Boardwalk casinos.
Its just enticing here.
Tom Ballance was hired
in 1998 as the casinos rst
employee and worked his way
up to his current job as presi-
dent. He says the Borgatas suc-
cess is very simple.
I dont want this to sound
like a dumb answer, but people
just have more fun here, he
said. This place is just better
than anything else in the mar-
ket.
Joe Lupo, the casinos senior
vice president, said extensive
market research showed one
dominant theme: Atlantic City
casino customers wanted some-
thing more.
We changed the market by
offering something different,
what the Atlantic City reject-
ers wanted but werent getting
here, he said. People told us
over and over they were look-
ing for a trade-up experience.
So we gave them an experience
and amenities that Atlantic City
just didnt provide.
Since it opened shortly before
midnight on July 2, 2003, in the
citys Marina District, about a
mile from the Boardwalk, the
Borgata set out to recreate the
high-end Vegas experience in an
East Coast resort better known
for cheap buffets and senior citi-
zens who ride the bus into town
to play penny slots for a few
hours before returning home.
It was designed to resemble an
Italian village.
It took the concept of sexy
beverage servers to a new level
by naming its servers Borgata
Babes and pouring them into
form-tting, cleavage-baring
corsets, short skirts and high
heels. Its strict requirements
about weight and body fat led
to a lawsuit on behalf of several
servers that was settled out of
court, but the Borgata Babes
remain as popular as ever. Each
year, 12 are chosen to appear
wearing minimal lingerie in a
Borgata calendar that sells well.
The Borgata broke the mold
of Atlantic City casinos in sev-
eral ways. It was the rst casino
here to end the use of coins in
its slot machines, having them
instead spit out paper tickets
that players redeem for cash
instead of carrying around
cups full of coins. While some
said they missed the traditional
clank of coins spilling into trays
after a winning spin, many more
quickly took to the new technol-
ogy, which has now become the
industry standard.
Candidly, we were con-
cerned, Balance said. If people
didnt like it, we had all our slot
machines stocked with coins.
We were prepared to go back if
necessary. We had coins in the
hoppers for two years before we
took them away.
The Borgata brought celeb-
rity chefs to open restaurants in
the casino including Bobby Flay
and Wolfgang Puck. It opened
Atlantic Citys rst non-gam-
bling casino hotel, The Water
Club, in 2008.
It is unquestionably the mar-
ket leader in terms of casino
revenue. The Borgata averages
$45 million to $55 million a
month, more than twice what
most of its competitors take in.
Its best month ever was August
2008 when it took in $77.1 mil-
lion, and May 2006 was the last
time any other Atlantic city
casino had a better month than
the Borgata.
Andrew Zarnett, managing
director of Deutsche Bank, pre-
dicts Borgata will continue to
be the market leader in Atlantic
City, even as competition in
neighboring states continues.
Borgata was successful
thanks to a great location,
well-executed design and tal-
ented management, he said.
Helping its success was a large
investment in market research
from the outset of development,
which helped management
understand the customer and
implement a well-formulated
plan.
It also hasnt hesitated to
spend money on upgrades and
maintenance to the shiny gold
glass tower that sends daz-
zling rays of reected sunlight
through the neighborhood dur-
ing the day before being illumi-
nated in purple lights at night.
It cost $1.1 billion to open the
casino, and close to another bil-
lion has been spent since then,
including on the opening of The
Water Club.
The Borgata opened as a
joint venture between two
large casino companies: Boyd
Gaming and MGM Resorts
International. MGM decided in
2010 to sell its stake and leave
New Jersey rather than cut ties
to an Asian business partner
in Macau. The partners father
is suspected by New Jersey
regulators of having organized
crime ties to Chinese gangs,
but MGM and the family of
Pansy Ho deny the allegations.

Improvement in Clinical Study
A clinical study published in the Journal of
Rheumatology evaluated the pain relieving effectiveness
of JointFlex
Pain Relieving Cream verses a placebo.

clinical trial involved 63 patients who had suffered from
chronic osteoarthritis knee pain for an average of 10 years!

experienced substantial pain relief shortly after application.
The study conrmed what thousands of satised JointFlex

The users of JointFlex also experienced a totally
unexpected and dramatic result. With continued use, a
majority obtained long-term pain relief that continued
to improve throughout the entire eight-week study. But
thats not all!
OsteoArthritis Pain

Even more amazing, one-third of the JointFlex users
had their pain gradually decrease to the point where
it was completely or nearly completely eliminated! By
using JointFlex daily as directed, you too may be able to
substantially reduce or even eliminate that arthritis pain
thats been nagging you for years.
The gradual and continual improvement in long-term pain

has been designed to deliver all benecial ingredients
quickly and safely to the skin. The JointFlex formula
provides deep penetration and powerful relief when applied
to areas where it hurts.

the pills you are taking or tired of the stomach discomfort
that often goes along with them, it may be time to switch
to JointFlex. Just rub JointFlex onto your painful areas. Its
that easy. Soon after applying JointFlex, you wont even
know you have it on other than the soothing pain relief
you will be experiencing. With JointFlex, there are NO
pills to swallow and NO negative systemic side effects
to worry about like those associated with NSAIDs or oral
prescription pain relievers.

Dallas Rotary welcomes guest speaker
Philadelphia rapper ordered to take etiquette classes
PHILADELPHIA A
judge has ordered rapper
Meek Mill to attend eti-
quette classes and notify
his probation ofcer before
he takes any trips outside
of the commonwealth.
Common Pleas Court
Judge Genece Brinkley
on Friday told the rapper,
whose real name is Robert
Williams, he must com-
plete the classes before
Aug. 4, The Philadelphia
Inquirer reported.
The orders came at a
probation violation hear-
ing for Williams, who is
on probation for a 2008
gun and drug conviction
for which he was sen-
tenced to 11 to 23 months
in prison. He served eight
months in jail and began
ve years of probation in
the fall of 2009.
Assistant District
AttorneyNoel AnnDeSantis
said Williams statements
on Twitter and other social
media had been followed by
threats to his probation of-
cer from some of his fans.
Williams told the judge
at the contentious hear-
ing that detailing his
travel plans was dif-
cult because many of his
business activities are
arranged on short notice.
I have my own record
label with seven artists.
I do radio. I do inter-
views, he said.
The judge said Williams
needed etiquette classes
to rene his use of social
media and to help him
explain the nature of his
business to the court,
adding that the etiquette
classes were more impor-
tant than any concerts he
might have.
Brinkley in December
barred the rapper from
touring for a month after
nding that he violated
probation restrictions.
Williams attorney argued
at the time that the restric-
tions were preventing his
client from earning a liv-
ing and said Williams
didnt need to check in
with his probation ofcer
because his fans frequent-
ly take pictures of him
when hes touring.

Dear Abby: My
problem is my
mother-in-law and
her abundant use of
perfume. The last
time she visited, it
was so bad we had to
open our windows to
air out the rooms.
My husband addressed the problem
with her when I was pregnant, but
now that the baby is here shes back
to her old habits.
We are all sensitive to perfumes
and get headaches when exposed to
it. When she visits, we cant get away
from the smell. I dont wear perfume,
but was always told that perfume is
to be discovered, never announced.
However, when I say that around her,
she dismisses it.
Whats the proper etiquette in ad-
dressing the perfume cloud that sur-
rounds her?
The Nose Knows
Dear Nose: I receive complaints
about perfumes almost daily. Perfume
in abundance can cause serious
allergic reactions in people who are
sensitive to it. And when they are ex-
posed to it in enclosed places, it can
cause real problems.
Your mother-in-law should be
reminded again that her perfume
is causing headaches and asked to
please not use it around you.
Womens perfumes and mens after-
shave lotions and colognes can also
cause problems at the gym. When
people who are exercising begin to
sweat, the smell can become over-
powering and a nuisance to others.
Scents that were applied the day
before can turn rancid, so a shower
before working out would be consid-
erate if this could be you.
Dear Abby: I have a son, Billy, who
will be 9 soon. He was conceived
through rape by a man who was
physically, emotionally and sexually
abusive, as well as controlling. He
threatened to kill me and Billy, but I
eventually got free. I have a criminal
no-contact order on him, and he has
no legal rights to Billy.
I have raised my son without any
knowledge of his father. I feel it
would be cruel to tell him how he
came into the world. My mother dis-
agrees. She thinks it will backfire if
and when Billy finds out. She points
out that Billy has two half-sisters he
doesnt know about. I dont like to
keep that from him.
I need to protect my son, no mat-
ter what. But am I doing the right
thing? I sometimes question what is
in my sons best interest and that of
our relationship. Please give me some
advice.
Living in the Present
Dear Living In The Present: Im
surprised your son hasnt already
asked about his father, because surely
he must have questions. When Billy
asks, he should be told some of the
truth in an age-appropriate way. He
does not need to know about the
rape, but he should know that his
father was violent, so for your safety
and his, the courts decided Billys fa-
ther should not be in contact with the
two of you. Billy should also be told
that until he is an adult it will have to
remain that way.
When hes older, he can be told
that there are half-siblings. While
you cant protect your son forever,
you can keep him safe until hes old
enough to process the information.

(Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your
fiery passion will be tempered by
todays requirements: Only reli-
able, steady and effective people
will be allowed into a certain
group. You want to be a part of
this, so youll show restraint.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Something is being requested
of you, and theres an opportu-
nity inside of this request. If you
dont prove your worth when
youre invited to do so, its like
ignoring the call.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You shine
in social settings. Work is a kind
of social setting, but the rules
are slightly different. For profes-
sional success, review the guide-
lines and stay inside of them.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Instead
of trying to come up with all of
the answers yourself, mine the
ideas inside another persons
head. Youre an excellent miner,
and the source of new gems will
enjoy the excavation, as well.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The days
challenges will include some
communication difficulty. While
breaking down barriers, rules get
broken, too all in the name of
trying to relate to one another.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The one
who sweeps onto the scene and
brings the fun is attractive to
everyone, including you. This
person will charm the room fast-
er than you can tie your shoes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some
people dont seem to realize
when its appropriate to be
aggressive and when mercy and
softness are required. You have
just the right touch, and the
others will learn from you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When
you see value, you may nab it
without stopping to wonder
whether its practical to do so. If
you cant use it one place, youll
use it somewhere else.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The outcome of your day will
depend not only on what you do,
but also on the order in which
you do things. The best order is
to first do the things you dont
want to do, and then do what-
ever you want.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
can be remarkably low mainte-
nance, but that doesnt mean
you dont need attention from
time to time. Hopefully, it wont
bother you to be the center of
the action tonight.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If
you feel like staying in, dont
worry. The opportunities for
social, romantic or professional
advancement that are out there
will still be around later should
you change your mind.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As
much as you are interested in
perpetuating positive energy,
you also realize that humor
depends on the tension between
positive and negative forces. And
what a healing gift laughter will
be for you today!
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 1). This
month brings explosive energy
that youll apply to conquer a
fear, make fast progress on a
domestic project, change a habit
or all of the above. September
shifts your focus to fixing what
has ailed your family for years.
Your lucky numbers are: 4, 11, 24,
39 and 18.

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTAION
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY
OF THE FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
FOR THE SOUTH VALLEY PARKWAY
PROJECT
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)
announces that a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
has been made by the Federal Highway Administration (FH-
WA) for the South Valley Parkway project and FONSI is avail-
able to the public.
The South Valley Parkway project includes the construction of
a new roadway (SR 3046) on new alignment with upgrades to
the existing Middle Road (SR 2008) in the City of Nanticoke
and Hanover Township in Luzerne County. The new roadway
will begin at the Middle Road/Prospect Street intersection and
travel in the east direction to a new PA 29 Exit 2 interchange.
Roundabouts are proposed at the Middle Road intersections
with Prospect Street, Espy Street (SR 2010), and Kosciusko
Street and other roundabouts are proposed for the intersec-
tions of the interchange with PA 29. The 3.8-mile, new align-
ment portion of the South Valley Parkway will be one lane in
each direction (with a climbing lane and center turn lane where
applicable.). The new split diamond interchange with PA 29
will be west of and replace the existing Ext 2 interchange.
Information describing the project, with the associated environ-
mental analysis, is contained in the Environmental Assess-
ment (EA) that was prepared for the project. Based upon the
studies conducted for the project, the FHWA and PennDOT
determined there is no prudent and feasible alternative to the
proposed action. The FHWA approved the EA and issued the
FONSI for this project. PennDOT is currently moving the
project forward into the final design phase with construction
planned to start in late 2015.
The EA and FONSI documents can be accessed through
PennDOT District 4-0's website at the following location:
http://www.dot.state.pa.us/Penndot/Districts/district4.nsf/Dis-
trict%204%201Homepage?OpenFramset
Once on the District's homepage, please click on "Roadwork"
found on the left-hand side bar, then click on "Current
Projects" for a list of major projects to access the "South Val-
ley Parkway, Environmental Assessment" link. Copies of the
Environmental Assessment Document (available on CD) and
the FONSI may also be requested from PENNDOT staff listed
below.
