MARINERS PITCHER
FINDS PERFECTION
Felix Hernandez pitched
the Seattle Mariners first
perfect game and the
23rd in baseball history,
overpowering the Tampa
Bay Rays in a brilliant 1-0
victory Wednesday.
The 2010 AL Cy Young
Award winner has long
talked of his desire to
achieve pitching perfec-
tion. He finally accom-
plished it against the
Rays, striking out the side
twice and finishing with 12
strikeouts.
It was the third perfect
game in baseball this
season a first joining
gems by Chicagos Philip
Humber against the Mari-
ners in April and San
Franciscos Matt Cain
versus Houston in June.

WILKES-BARRE Surprise
visits fromfederal agents serving
subpoenas isnt the way most
school district superintendents
would want to start their final
monthly school board meeting.
But its what departing Wilkes-
Barre Area Superintendent Jeff
Namey got Wednesday night.
And to put icing on the bad
publicity cake, the agents stayed
through the entire meeting.
No mention was made of the
visit during the meeting, but af-
terward Namey said the agents
had served four or five subpoe-
nas seeking a wide range of
things, including emails and cor-
respondence from him, Deputy
Superintendent Bernard Prevuz-
nak, other administrators and so-
licitor Ray Wendolowski.
Namey, who is retiring at the
end of the month after 42 years in
the district, also said the agents
asked for employment and hiring
records, particularly for John
Quinn Jr., son of board member
John Quinn Sr. Quinn Jr. has
worked part-time intermittently
for the district for more than a
decade, most recently as a sum-
mer school teacher this year. He
is certified in secondary school
math, a field with frequent short-
ages of qualifiedteachers, Namey
noted.
Namey said Quinn Jr. had
worked for about three months
filling in for a teacher six or sev-
en years ago, and had worked
part-time 10 or 15 years before
that.
Toldthat the subpoenas hadin-
cluded requests related to his
son, John Quinn Sr. expressed
surprise and said he had no idea
what it was about.
Namey said he couldnt give
details of the subpoenas because
he hadnt read them. He said he
would turn them over to Wendo-
lowski for review before the two
sat down and discussed them to-
day. Namey said he had no idea
the agents were coming or what
they were looking into.
The status of Quinn Jr. in the
district has been a hot-button is-
sue in recent months for board
critic Bob Kadluboski, who has
publicly alleged that Wendolow-

PHILADELPHIA Afederal ap-
peals judge on Wednesday said
there must be clear lines drawn on
what cities like Hazleton can and
cant dotodiscourageillegal immi-
grants fromliving there.
How do you draw that line?
ThirdU.S. CircuitChief JudgeThe-
odore McKee asked attorney Kris
Kobach, who is representing the
cityofHazletoninitssix-yearbattle
to force illegal immigrants out of
town.
McKee and two other appeals
judges heard oral arguments from
Kobach and Omar Jadwat, senior
staff attorney with the American
Civil Liberties Union the lead or-
ganizationina2006lawsuit that so
far has prevented Hazleton from
enforcing a set of laws that would
penalize landlords and businesses
from renting to or employing ille-
gal immigrants.
U.S. District Judge James Mun-
ley struck down the citys Illegal
Immigration Relief Act Ordinance
and Tenant Registration Ordi-
nance in a 2007 trial.
McKee leda ThirdCircuit panel

when the city appealed, and the

FollowingaCommonwealthCourt rul-
ing Wednesday that stated Pennsylva-
nias voter ID law will take effect in No-
vember, local legislators said they want
to ensure constituents have a valid iden-
tification to vote.
State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston,
said she was very disappointed in the
courts ruling.
Even if you believe the lawis just and
necessary, whichI donot, my experience
is that the confusion and difficulty in get-
ting the non-driver photo ID warrants
more time to implement the new law,
Mundy said. I am still hopeful that a
higher court will overturn it.
Many local legislators expressed con-
cern over the Commonwealth Court rul-
ing that denied a temporary injunction
on the Voter ID law and how some con-
stituents will be affected.
Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-
Barre, said he is proceeding on the basis
that the Republican-sponsored legisla-
tion signed by Gov. Tom Corbett is law.

fort toinformmy constituents of the new
changes in our voting procedure so they

POLICE BLOTTER
PITTSTON City Council
members heard from a resident
at Wednesday nights meeting
about a problem his family be-
lieves took the life of their father,
Chuck Menichini, in June.
Chris Menichini of Carroll
Street, Chuck Menichinis son,
said he has been trying to have
something done about an impro-
perly closed borehole, part of the
Butler mine tunnel, behind the
familys home. Menichini said he
believes residual substances in
the borehole led to his fathers
death from lymphoma.
(The borehole) should have
been capped off and filled with
grout, Menichini said. It
wasnt.
He said that after digging be-
hind his house, he found a thick
gooeysubstance, kindof likepud-
ding.
He said the council can expect
to hear fromhimregularly until a
solution is discovered. He had
been quiet until his fathers death
at the age of 58, but now he said
he wants to see something done.
In other matters:
Fulton Street residents said
they have experienced a string of
petty burglaries within in the last

her neighbor lost two rocking
chairs from her front porch and a
house down the street reported
two bicycles stolen.
Manganiello said she had spo-
ken to the police and noticed in-
creased patrols on the street, but
she wanted the council to be
aware of the problem.
Sam Lombardo, of Mill
Street, asked if the council had
made progress in drafting a noise
ordinance they tabled last
month.
Lombardosaidtheother night,
he heard dogs barking for more
than three hours. Some of his
neighbors shared in his belief
that excessive barking has be-
come a real problem, as those in
the room from the area all
seemed to agree.
Police Chief Robert Powers
toldLombardothat adogbarking
ordinance is in place, but action
would require a claimand his tes-
timony before the district judge.
Councilman Michael Lombar-
do said the proposed noise ordi-
nance could be re-examined. He
said he felt some of its nuances
needed to be worked out before it
was presented again.
We could go back to the draw-
ing board and come up with
something more workable to put
on the table, he said.

WEST PITTSTON
Ex-cops appeal denied
A federal appeals court upheld a
lower courts dismissal of an age-
discrimination and retaliation law-
suit filed by a former West Pittston
police officer convicted of stealing
funds from a drug education pro-
gram
Joseph Campbell, Wyoming, had
filed a lawsuit in 2009 alleging the
borough appointed another officer as
police chief, bypassing Campbell.
Campbell alleged age discrimi-
nation and violation of his right to
free speech, contending the borough
had denied him the post because he
had filed an earlier lawsuit.
U.S. Middle District judge John
Jones dismissed the lawsuit saying
Campbell failed to present sufficient
evidence to support his allegations.
Campbell appealed, but on
Wednesday a panel of three judges of
the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Ap-
peals upheld the lower court ruling.
Campbell was sentenced in March
2011 to three to 12 months in prison
for stealing $20,000 form the Drug
Abuse Resistance Education Pro-
gram.

WILKES-BARRE State po-
lice at Shickshinny believe a
passenger-side mirror found at
the scene of a fatal hit-and-run
on Route 11 in Plymouth Town-
ship came from a 2007 Saab.
Investigators served a search
warrant for the vehicle they sus-
pect struck Richard Stadts, 73,
while he was riding a bicycle in
the area of Stookeys restaurant
on Aug. 7.
Stadts died at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Cen-
ter in Plains Township the next
day.
The search warrant signed by
District Judge John Hasay in
Shickshinny allowed state po-
lice to look for DNA, narcotics,
prescription medications, cell-
phones and other evidence re-
lated to the crash.
State police allege Matthew
Perkins, 19, of Hartman Road,
was driving the vehicle when it
struck Stadts.
Perkins was found at his resi-
dence and exhibited signs of in-
toxication and/or drug use dur-
ing an interview with state po-
lice, according to the search
warrant affidavit.
The affidavit says Perkins
was taken to Wilkes-Barre Gen-
eral Hospital for a blood test.
No charges have been filed.
The Saab was missing the
passenger-side mirror when
state police found it at the Hart-
man Road residence, the affida-
vit says.
A motorist told state police
he had to swerve to avoid being
struck by the Saab as it ap-
proached him from behind.
Another motorist wrote
down the Saabs license plate
number whenthe two cars stop-
ped at a traffic signal on Route
11.
When the witness later drove
through the area seeing para-
medics and state police at the
scene, he provided the license
plate number to a trooper,
which led to the discovery of
the Saab, according to the affi-
davit.

WILKES-BARRE -- Astate Su-
perior Court panel Wednesday
removed one obstacle to the
scheduled Sept. 10 start of the
double-homicide trial of Hugo
Selenski.
A three-member panel of the
appellate court ruledagainst a re-
quest by defense attorneys that
the court rethink its order speed-
ing consideration of an appeal
based on their claim that county
Judge Fred Pierantoni improper-
ly denieda request to dismiss the
charges against Selenski.
In the request for reconsidera-
tion, Selenskis
lawyers argued
he was not giv-
en the oppor-
tunity to be
heard before
the court
granted the re-
quest on Mon-
day, the same day it was filed by
prosecutors.
Selenski, 38, could face the
deathpenaltyif convictedof mur-
dering Tammy Fassett and Mi-
chael Kerkowski on May 3, 2002.
Their bodies were found buried
onaKingstonTownshipproperty
where he was livinginJune 2003.
DefenseattorneysShelleyCen-
tini and Edward Rymsza said
they should have been given 14
days to respond after being
served with the prosecutors ap-
plication for the expedited ap-
peal.
Its application cannot possi-
bly justify the incursion of the
most basic procedural rights to a
criminal defendant, namely the
opportunitytobeheardprior toa
court granting such extreme re-
lief, the defense attorneys said
when asking for the reconsidera-
tion.
The panel issued a one-sen-
tence order without explanation.
County District Attorney Ste-
fanie Salavantis and three assist-
antssaidSelenskisattorneyssaid
the defense appealed the judges
decision after failing to delay the
trial.
By filing the appeal, the de-
fendant is attempting to obtain a
delayof trial that he couldnot ob-
tain by other means, the prose-
cutors said.
Without an expedited appeal,
the extended period of time to
bring the case to trial will sub-
stantially handicap the prosecu-
tion. Key witnesses are elderly
and in poor health, prosecutors
said. In addition witness Paul
Weakleys life is in danger. Weak-
ley has been attacked in federal
prison and state inmate Michael
Scerbo faces a charge of solicita-
tion to murder him to prevent
him from testifying, prosecutors
said.
The appellate court, in its ini-
tial one-page order granting the
expeditedappeal, alsoorderedat-
torneys to file court papers by
Aug. 27 so a hearing may be
scheduled in the case.
Selenski and Weakley were
charged in May 2006 with the
deaths of Fassett and Kerkowski.
Weakley pleaded guilty and has
been serving a life sentence.

BEAR CREEK TWP. The Bear
Creek Community Charter Schools
plannedexpansiontookagiant leapfor-
ward with its recent acquisition of a 97-
acre property off Route 115, about two
miles southof its current locationinthe
former Bear Creek Elementary School.
Luzerne Countys only charter
school is planning to build a new cam-
pus at the property, located just beyond
the Forest Park neighborhood along
Route 115, and move its operations
there. The schools foundation pur-
chased the property for $316,220 from
William and Jeanie Haas, appointed
trustees of a Haas family trust, on June
20, according to Luzerne County prop-
erty transfer records.
Dave Blazejewski, president of the
schools Board of Trustees, called the
acquisition an important milestone in
the history of our school.
It accomplishes one of our major
goals that we stated right from the be-
ginning, which was to provide a phys-
ical learning environment which was
on par with the academic experience
that our kids get, Blazejewski said. So
that not only are they getting a world-
class education, but theyll get it in a
top-class facility as well.
Blazejewski estimated construction
of a new school would cost around $15
million, whichthe school hopes to raise
through federal funding sources as well
as private donations. A charter school
is a public school that is free of many
state regulations regarding teachers
and curriculum.
The school has been seeking to ex-
pand almost since its opening in 2004,
as it hosts an enrollment of more than
400 students in a building designed for
only 200, Blazejewski said Wednesday.
Modular classrooms housed in trailers
parked outside the school for the past
few years have provided some breath-
ing room, but the school still lacks
space for extracurricular activities.
Some classrooms are used for both mu-
sic and art classes, and the schools
gymnasiumalso doubles as its auditori-
um and cafeteria.
Blazejewski said the new property
has enough space and good topography
to build sports grounds, but the
schools first focus would be on con-
structing academic buildings.
Acquiring this much property
gives us the ability to do a lot of things,
now and then down the road, Blaze-
jewski said.
In a letter to stakeholders, the school
said subdivision of the property was ap-
proved by the Bear Creek Township
Planning Commission and supervisors
and that preliminary environmental
and historical assessments have been
completed. Blazejewski said the school
will next turn its focus to secure fund-
ing for the project and requesting de-
sign proposals for the new school.

Luzerne County union officials say
theyreeager todiscuss layoff prevention
options with County Manager Robert
Lawton.
Lawton cited the need for personnel
spending cuts to close the remaining
$875,000 projected year-end deficit dur-
ing his mid-year finan-
cial analysis Tuesday.
He said hes willing to
impose forced staff re-
ductions but first
wants to give unions
an opportunity to
come up with alterna-
tives.
When you look at
the tables, when you look at the staffing
levels, it becomes apparent that no solu-
tion can be found that will last that will
carry us through 2013 and 2014 that
doesnt involve the cost of personnel,
Lawton said during Tuesdays council
meeting.
PrisonunionheadTomBorumsaidhe
met withLawtonabout three weeks ago,
and they tentatively planned to meet
again next week.
He was very open. It is refreshing to
have somebody come to you and give
you the opportunity to do this, Borum
said.
He said they havent discussed details
of options, and firm proposals must be
brought to the unions more than 300
members for a vote.
If there are little things we can come
up with that dont violate our agreement
and dont hurt the prison, Id be more
than willing to talk about anything, Bo-
rum said. Im looking forward to find-
ing a solution.
The prison union made an unprece-
dented offer in March to give up 3 per-
cent pay raises to reduce correctional fa-
cility layoffs from 15 to 10, but the pro-
posal fell through because of disagree-
ments with the administration over the
agreement wording.
Borum said he doesnt expect the

LAKE TWP. Problems with
receiving tax collections from
Centax/Don Wilkinson Agency
were raised at a recent township
supervisors meeting.
Last week, township Secretary
and Treasurer Carlene Price re-
ported the township received on-
ly $14,935 in revenue from the
earned income tax distributed by
Centax.
This is a 70 percent reduction
fromlast year, she said. Centax
has only given us about 30 per-
cent of what we are owed.
This problem is not limited to
Lake Township. Price, a voting
delegate on the Luzerne County
Tax Collection Committee, said
many other municipalities are in
the same boat. As of July, Centax
was holding $5.8 million that has
not been distributed and the
money is being held in a clearing
house, she said.
They are not equipped to han-
dle this, Price said.
Plus, she said, Centax has not
cashed the townships checks for
payments on its employees is-
sued for the first two quarters of
the fiscal year.
The tax committee gave the
agency 90 days to rectify these is-
sues. This time period ended on
Tuesday and Centax is currently
in default.
Fortunately, we have been
able to stay in the black, Price
said of the townships finances.
Also, Price saidsome residents
of other municipalities reported
they have not received refunds
fromCentax after filing their tax-
es. She advised any township res-
idents who may also be affected
to call Centaxs solicitor at Cen-
taxs main number, 1-800-4cen-
tax.
Centax/Don Wilkinson Agen-
cy, a tax collecting company from
Bridgeville, near Pittsburgh, was
hired by the county to handle the
tax collection, reconciliation and
disbursement of the earned in-
come tax in accord with a recent
state mandate.
The tax collection committee
will meet Aug. 22 and on the
agenda will be Centaxs contract
and whether it should be voided
due to its default.
In other matters:
A contract was awarded for
work on a section of Sorber
Mountain Road. Bids were from
Pikes Creek, $70,242; Pennsy
Supply, $113,670; Popple Con-
struction, $52,276; and B&J Pav-
ing, $74,163. Supervisors award-
edthe contract toPopple, the low
bidder.
BP Wind Energy was ap-
proved to do repairs to Sober
Mountain Road, which they used
in the development of the wind-
mill project in Noxen.
Fall clean-up is scheduled for
Saturday, Sept. 8, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Supervisors approved a mo-
tion to open a debit card account,
for the purposes of making de-
posits with First National Bank.
The next supervisors meeting
will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 12 in the
municipal building.

ski landed a one-year, $195,000
contract as district solicitor this
year by cutting deals with board
members to get their children
hired. He asked at a recent meet-
ing if that were true.
Wendolowski has denied any
deal. The solicitor would not
have a vote onany hiring, andKa-
dluboski has never explained
how Wendolowski could influen-
ce such votes.
A high school math position
was potentially available this
month when a teacher took a
leave of absence, board President
Maryanne Toole said after the
meeting, but the district was able
to fill the position through res-
cheduling.
The hiring of two relatives of
board member Dino Galella Di-
no Galella Jr. as a summer school
teacher and Christa Galella as
athletic director at Solomon/
Plains Junior High was on the
agenda, and Kadluboski referred
to themduring comments before
Wednesdays meeting, callingthe
board lower than sewer rats if
they hiredany relatives andrefer-
ring to his allegation that Wendo-
lowski had struck some sort of
deal.
The board approved those
hires, with Galella abstaining on
both votes. In the past he has
noted his daughter was working
inthe district before he was elect-
ed to the board last November.
Wednesdays vote technically re-
instatedher toa positionsheheld
beforeadecisionlast year toelim-
inate seventh- and eight-grade
sports programs and fold them
into high school programs, a de-
cision that was reversed in this
years budget.
The agents debuted innocuous
as they were obvious. A man
sporting black coat, tan pants
and tieless white button shirt un-
ceremoniously entered the
closed-door executive session
the board routinely holds before
meetings, stepping in for about
15 minutes, during which time
district Business Manager Leo-
nard Przywara emerged several
times to walk across the hall to
his office and back, retrieving pa-
pers.
The agent emerged and joined
another man in similar garb, sit-
ting down in the board meeting
room, asking a reporter if there
was anagenda available andiden-
tifying themselves as U.S. Secret
Service but declining comment
on their reason for being there.
The district is no stranger to
federal investigators, who have
shown up multiple times as part
of the ongoing federal corruption
probe in the region. Three sitting
school board members were
nabbedinthat probe andpleaded
guiltytocorruptioncharges relat-
ed to accepting bribes from
teacher candidates or contrac-
tors seeking work. More recently,
investigators subpoenaed bills
submitted by former board solic-
itor Anthony Lupas from 2006
through last year.
Federal prosecutors have
charged Lupas with running an
investment schemethat, withthe
help of other unnamed co-con-
spirators, bilked people out of
millions. The scheme was not re-
lated to his work for the district.
A Times Leader review
showed payments to Lupas and
Wendolowski, who served as as-
sistant solicitor, skyrocketed in
the last three years. Further re-
viewhas shown Lupas submitted
bills that detailed hours worked,
but did not say what dates the
work was done, making it impos-
sible to determine how many
hours he worked in any given day
or week.
Since becoming president of
the board last December, Toole
has insisted a top goal is to re-
store the boards image and the
make the district a model in the
area. She has followed up that
promise by seeking public input
on multiple board decisions,
most recently through an online
survey asking what traits people
want to see in Nameys replace-
ment.
After Wednesdays meeting
she acknowledged the subpoena
was another blow.
Here we go again, she said.

a.m. July 24. McCallick died at
Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center in Plains
Township.
Police allege they found sus-
pected tissue and hair on the
drivers-side axle, a suspected
human hair sample from the
drivers side front wheel, a
possible bone fragment on the
drivers-side step-up bar and
suspected human hair under
the drivers-side door, accord-
ing to the receipt.
Swabs were also taken for
suspected DNA off the driv-
ers-side axle and the drivers-
side front bumper. Police also
took a global positioning sys-
tem unit from the truck.
Items collected from the
truck were sent to the state po-
lice crime lab in Wyoming.
I can say this is obviously a
tragic case. I cant imagine
what this young ladys family
is going through, said Lough-
nanes attorney, Peter Paul
Olszewski Jr. For right now,
everyone needs to reserve
judgment. Let the system play
itself out.
Loughnane could not be re-
ached for comment, although
he has returned from a vaca-
tion in Lake Ontario, Canada.
No one opened the door at his
residence on Wednesday.
In attempts to piece togeth-
er Loughnanes whereabouts
prior to McCallick being
struck, police seized a video
digital recorder from Gentle-
mens Club 10, a strip club on
Mundy Street, Wilkes-Barre
Township, Tuesday night, ac-
cording to the receipt.
The search of the strip club
came after police interviewed
Jeff Erdman, 40, on Monday.
According to the search war-
rant for Gentlemens Club 10,
Erdman told police he was
with Loughnane the night of
July 23 at Liams Place, a tav-
ern Loughnane owns on North
Washington Street in Wilkes-
Barre. Erdman said they each
had a beer and left Liams and
went to Gentlemens Club 10,
where they stayed until 2 a.m.
Erdman allegedly told po-
lice he was given a ride to his
apartment at 370 Scott St.,
Wilkes-Barre, by Loughnane
in the Ford F350, the affidavit
says.
Police noted in the search
warrant Erdmans apartment
is less than two miles from
where McCallick was struck.
No one answered the door at
Erdmans apartment on
Wednesday.
Police are expected to re-
turn the Ford to Loughnane to-
day.
Anyone with information
that may aid the investigation
is asked to call Wilkes-Barre
police at 208-4201.

Residents of Dimock Town-
shipinSusquehanna Countywho
saytheir well water was poisoned
by a gas driller are nearing a set-
tlement of their long-runningand
highly contentious federal law-
suit.
Court documents filed this
week indicate that the residents
have agreed to a confidential set-
tlement with Houston-based Ca-
bot Oil & Gas Corp.
Dimock became a flashpoint in
the national debate over gas drill-
ing and a technique called hy-
draulic fracturing, or fracking, af-
ter residents claimedin2009that
Cabot polluted their water sup-
ply with methane gas and toxic
chemicals and made some of
them violently ill.
Cabot denied responsibility.
Federal environmental regula-
tors tested the aquifer this year
and found the water in Dimock is
safe todrink, a conclusiondisput-
ed by residents who refuse to use
their wells.
State environmental regula-
tors previously determined that
Cabot contaminated the aquifer
underneath homes along Carter
Road in Dimock with explosive
levels of methane, although they
later determined the company
had met its obligations under a
consent agreement and allowed
Cabot to stop delivering bulk and
bottled water last fall.
Cabots lawyers approached
the plaintiffs in May and June
with offers to settle, according to
a document filed Monday in fed-
eral court. The plaintiffs attor-
neys said in the document they
expect the settlement money to
be distributed within 60 days.
The names of the settling
plaintiffs were blacked out, and
the overall amount of the settle-
ment was not disclosed.
Cabots chief executive, Dan O.
Dinges, told investors on July 25
that the company had verbal
agreements with32of 36Dimock
households and was continuing
to negotiate with the others.
Attorney Tate Kunkle, repre-
senting the plaintiffs, declined to
comment on Wednesday. A Ca-
bot spokesman did not immedi-
ately respond to a request for
comment.
Cabot is one of the most suc-
cessful drillers in the Marcellus
Shale, a rock formation in Penn-
sylvania, New York, Ohio and
West Virginia that contains the
nations largest reservoir of natu-
ral gas.
Dimock residents, Cabot settle
Residents had alleged that
their drinking water was
contaminated by gas driller.

Its a sad day for citizens when
political rhetoric wins over
democracy.
Elisabeth MacNamara
The president of the League of Women Voters of the
United States reacted to a judges decision
Wednesday in Pennsylvanias Commonwealth Court, declining to halt
the states new voter identification law. The law will be in effect for the
Nov. 6 election and requires every voter to show photo ID.
NCAA called hypocritical
in its treatment of PSU
I
can only chuckle at the self-righteous
indignation of the NCAA. In handing
down the harsh penalties to Penn State
University, it cited the culture of football
which places athletic success over academ-
ic achievement. It totally ignores the fact
that the school enjoys one of the top gradu-
ation rates for athletes in the country.
Yet, this same organization allows a kid
to play one year of basketball and move on
to the NBA. Hypocrisy at its best.

Writer says W-B Twp.
failed to support climb
T
hirteen years have passed and Wilkes-
Barre Township Mayor Carl Kurens
administration seemingly has done
nothing to help, or participate in a part-
nership with, Laurel Run and the Danko
family regarding the Giants Despair event.
Especially Jack Danko Sr., who runs the
second oldest hill climb in the United
States.
You see, Mayor Kuren is the problem,
not the solution. Thats why there has to
be dialogue with other community leaders,
regionalization of police forces, a new fire
department, a part-time zoning officer and
elimination of the recycling officers job
pass it on to a Public Works Department
employee.
Money can be saved numerous ways.
How many police are really needed? Some
are deadbeats. What about unused cruisers
and equipment?
These are only a few suggestions.
Back to the Giants Despair Hill Climb. I
want to thank the Danko family, Jack Dan-
ko Sr. and Alfred Bonk for making the
track more spectator-friendly. Also, thanks
to the drivers: Daryl Danko, Jack Danko
Sr., Walter Usloski, Brandon Usloski, Brian
Halecki, Bob Katarsky, Larry Simpson, Bill
Feist and Gary Polakoski , all local drivers.
Great job, and well done! Next year, Mike

Reader questions hiring
of Luzerne County clerk
T
he recent actions by the Luzerne Coun-
ty Council raised some questions.
The search, interview and scoring
method in the hiring of a county clerk is
what I am confused about. I do not know,
nor have I met the acting county clerk. My
contacts tell me she is a degreed teacher
and previously held the position of exec-
utive assistant to Steve Urban when he
was a commissioner.
But as stated in the newspaper, she was
not selected, as a point system was em-
ployed to determine the best qualified. A
24-year-old candidate from Lackawanna
County, who it appears held several posi-
tions over a little more than two years,
scored the highest and was hired.
Point systems normally considered edu-
cation, experience and the interview. The
successful candidate who outscored the
60-year-old acting clerk with many years of
executive-level, county-level experience
must have scored extremely high in the
interview.
With the high unemployment in Luzerne
County, there was not one qualified appli-
cant from this county?

Questions raised over
handling of Sterling
D
isgraceful is a mild word for what the
county commissioners and CityVest
did to the Hotel Sterling that is now on
the at-risk list of Preservation Pennsylva-
nia.
After viewing the interior pictures of the
Sterling in The Times Leader on June 28,
the people who sat on the board of the
nonprofit organization should be ashamed
of themselves and held responsible for the
decay of this once-beautiful, local land-
mark.
What was missing in the news article is
how City Vest acquired the property. Did
the group inherit it or was it purchased?
Names of the board members also were
omitted.
Any other town or city would have is-
sued a citation to the property owner who
neglected its appearance.
Mayor Tom Leighton seemingly is look-
ing out for his survival while putting the
taxpayer deeper in debt. If any city tax-
payers wonder why Wilkes-Barre is in
debt, review how many nonprofit entities
do not pay property taxes, while the mayor
says he has $270,000 toward the demoli-
tion of the Sterling.
Why doesnt he think positive and allo-
cate that money toward putting a roof on
the Sterling? The interior of the building
can be cleaned, just as hundreds of homes
and businesses have after every flood. To
date, not one brick has fallen from the
building, and thieves have stripped the
interior, causing much damage.
What kind of police protection has
Wilkes-Barre administered if vagrants can
bunk in the building?
Has the neglect of the Sterling been
deliberate? What happened to the investi-
gation that was to take place in December
2011?

Parent wont let obesity
become the new normal
B
eing overweight is normal. The num-
bers dont lie: 68.8 percent of U.S.
citizens are overweight or obese.
A recent study concluded that inactivity
now kills roughly as many people as smok-
ing, and health issues caused by obesity
will soon become the nations biggest
killer. National security might be compro-
mised by a lack of qualified recruits due to
obesity and character issues. And for the
first time in our nations history, the gener-
ation being born today has a shorter life
expectancy than its parents.
The statistics are alarming, but few
people seem to care. Our society has be-
come largely apathetic toward healthy
living, nearing the point of self-destruc-
tion.
I recently searched through a box of
childhood memorabilia with my kids. We
looked at team photos from Little League
and swim team, and my 1982 school year-
book (I was 11). In a class of about 150,
there were two obese students. Todays
statistics correlate to about 45.
There used to be a social stigma at-
tached to obesity, but today, absurdly, its
the opposite: Being thin or well-fit is re-
garded as an oddity.
The culture has changed so drastically
that its easy to see how the obesity epi-
demic has exploded: inactivity. Children
spend almost all their free time stationary,
in front of a screen.
I have three wonderful, healthy, physical-
ly active children, and Ill be damned if I
will let this culture drag them down. Chil-
dren are bombarded by messages of effort-
less satisfaction, and its my responsibility
to my children to make sure they do not
fall prey to the pressures of apathy. It takes
persistent reminding to turn off the
screens and go outside to play. But its
worth it. Play builds physical strength,
imagination, problem-solving skills and
curiosity-related life tools.
So reject apathy and help good habits
become the new normal.

HERES BEENAblitz
of TV ads in the past
week paid for by Mitt
Romney supporters
trying to define President Oba-
ma for Pennsylvania voters.
Would it be so bad if the can-
didates proxies spent as much
time and money outlining the
admirable traits of the person
they want to be president?
Theres some of that, but too
little.
Romney, in particular,
should be filling in some gaps.
Instead, with steps like refus-
ing to release tax information
that would help voters figure
him out, he allows his oppo-
nent to tell themwho he is. For
example, it wouldnt be so easy
for Democrats to call Romney
Robin Hood in Reverse or
Romney Hood if he would fill
in the blanks on his tax plan.
A damning analysis of the
plan by the Tax Policy Center
has beenpooh-poohedby Rom-
ney supporters as beingbiased.
But their criticismignores that
two of the three writers of the
analysis William Gale and
Donald Marron were on the
Council of Economic Advisers
for President George H.W.
Bush and President George W.
Bush, respectively.
The TPC report concluded
Romneys plan would hurt the
middleclass, but thethinktank
admits its assessment is in part
based on guesses about what
the plan would do because
Romney has left so much to
conjecture.
Romney can easily put such
fears to rest. He should make
public his complete tax plan,
run TV commercials explain-
ing its details and let voters de-
cide whether he really is Rom-
ney Hood.

which rewrote a 1957
law, widely known as
the most restrictive in
the nation. It seems a
lot of people in gov-
ernment (public ser-
vice, as they call it)
liked things just fine
the old way. If we
dont stay alert, some
of them will get their wish.
The new law, which aimed a
light at some dark corners of
government, has suffered a
thousand cuts since then,
thankstounrelentingappealsby
state and local government offi-
cials followed by dubious court
decisions declaring various bits
of information off limits to you
and me.
Here are recent examples, de-
scribed by Record Tracker, an
open records blog by the Public
Opinions sister paper, the York
Daily Record, www.york-
blog.com/record.
The governors office
claimed that direct dial govern-
ment phone numbers yes,
work numbers are personal
and thus exempt from being re-
leased under the Right to Know
Law.
The lieutenant governors
office claimed that individual
email addresses of government
workers the ones given to
workers by the state govern-
ment are exempt from release
becausetheyarepersonal identi-
fication information.
And how about this attempt
to squelch even potential re-
quests: The Pittsburgh Tribune-
Review last week
reported that train-
ers introducing a
new government
phone system had
told state workers
that they could use
an instant-messag-
ing feature on the
new phones to
avoid complying with open re-
cords requests for phoneconver-
sations, becauseit doesnt create
a record.
We cant help but be nervous
about proposals in the Legisla-
ture toupdate the lawthis fall.
The law has big loopholes that
needtobeclosedincludingex-
tending its coverage to Penn
State, Pitt, Temple and Lincoln
universities. Alot of pre-election
noise will be made by lawmak-
ers about doing this to prevent
future cover-ups of child sexual
abuse. But lost in the din could
be the stealthy inclusion of ex-
emptions for government phone
records, bids, contracts, legal in-
voices, emails, etc.
In fact its guaranteed to hap-
pen, in the name of public ser-
vice, if we let it.
Public Opinion, Chambersburg
OTHER OPINION: ATTACK ON LAW

We cant help but
be nervous about

Supreme Court recently sent the
case back to the Third Circuit af-
ter Supreme Court rulings on lo-
cal and state illegal immigration
laws came down earlier this year
in Arizona and Texas. Wednes-
days hearing was held in the U.S.
Courthouse in downtown Phila-
delphia.
Judge raises questions
McKee asked if the city could
adopt anordinancethat wouldpro-
hibit abusinessfromsellingfoodto
someone unless the person could
prove they were a citizen.
Can they revoke the license of
anyone who allowed
themtousearestroom?
How far do we go?
McKee asked.
Also, McKee pointed
out, the federal govern-
ment has discretion in
allowing aliens without
residency status to re-
main in the country, cit-
ing as an example
someone who has lived
here for many years,
owns a business that
employs townspeople and has
paid taxes for 20 years.
He askedwhat sort of statutory
regimewouldallowHazletonand
other cities to overrule discre-
tionary directives of federal im-
migration officials.
Kobach said no lawrequiring a
check on residency status for im-
mediate needs such as food could
ever hold up in court because
they would require a restaurateur
to make a determination on resi-
dency status.
But withHazletons ordinances
on housing and employment,
there is a juncture where time
can be taken to consult with the
federal government on residen-
cy status, Kobach said.
He said federal law requires all
states and cities to push illegal
aliens out.
And, Kobach said, it is federal
immigration statutes on which
the court must base its decisions,
not onobjectives of thefederal ad-
ministration.
Jadwat, the ACLU attorney,
said the Supreme Court ruling in
the Arizona case reaffirmed in
very strong language that discre-
tion is a principle feature of the
immigration system.
And, Jadwat said, nothing in the
recent Supreme Court rulings un-
dermines the appeals courts origi-
nal determination that a city is not
entitled to determine if someone
canlivetherebasedonthepersons
immigration status.
Jadwat also said Congress set
limited ways in which cities and
states can discourage illegal im-
migrants from living there. Its
not up to cities to invent new
ways, he said.
As for the employ-
ment provisions of Ha-
zletons ordinance, Jad-
wat said the ordinance
does not give an em-
ployee or employer
due process if the city
informs an employer
that he or she is illegal-
ly employing an illegal
immigrant and could
lose a business license
if the employee isnt
fired.
Kobach argued there are ade-
quate provisions to contest such
a determination.
Matter under advisement
McKee said the judges would
take the matter under advise-
ment and adjourned without
making a ruling.
Hazleton Mayor Joe Yannuzzi
and U.S. Rep Lou Barletta, who
proposed the ordinances when
he was Hazletons mayor, attend-
ed oral arguments and both said
they were confident that Kobach
presented a winning case.
Barletta said he thought it was
ironic the arguments were heard
on the same day President Ba-
rack Obamas executive order
granting what he called a two-
year amnesty period to those
whoenteredthecountryillegally
as children went into effect.

SANTA ANA, Calif. Thou-
sands of young illegal immi-
grants lined up Wednesday hop-
ing for the right to work legally in
America without beingdeported.
The Obama administrations
Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals, which began Wednes-
day, could expand the rights of
more than1 million young illegal
immigrants by giving them work
permits, though they would not
obtain legal residency here or a
path to citizenship.
Less than three months before
an expected tight presidential
election, the new immigration
program is mired in controversy.
Republican critics accuse Presi-
dent Barack Obama of drafting
the plan to boost his political
standing with Latinos ahead of
Novembers vote and say the pro-
gram favors illegal immigrants
over unemployed citizens during
dismal economic times.
To be eligible, immigrants
must prove they arrived in the
United States before they turned
16, are 30 or younger, have been
living in the country at least five
years and are in school or gradu-
ated or served in the military.
They cannot have beenconvicted
of certain crimes or otherwise
pose a safety threat.
Initial concerns by immigrant
rights groups that federal author-
ities might take a toughapproach
on applications or that a Repub-
lican presidential victory could
unravel applicants gains have
largely been pushed aside by
massive interest from thousands
of young people eager to work.
Republican presidential candi-
date Mitt Romney does not sup-
port so-called Dream Act legisla-
tion for illegal immigrants who
attendcollege a key groupthat
Obama aims to reach with this
program. The former Massachu-
setts governor has also criticized
the deferred action program but
has not saidit hewouldreverseit,
pledging instead an unspecified
civil but resolute long-term fix
to illegal immigration.
So far, the measure has won fa-
vor for Obama along Latinos
many who viewimmigration as a
litmus test when choosing a po-
litical candidate, said Manuel
Pastor, director of the University
of Southern Californias Center
for the Study of Immigrant Inte-
gration.
Some Republican lawmakers
have accused Obama of sidestep-
ping Congress and creating a
backdoor amnesty program with
the high potential for fraud.
A decision on each application
could take several months, and
immigrants have been warned
not to leave the country while
their application is pending.
Thousands seek to
work legally in U.S.
Obamas move could expand
rights of more than 1 million
young illegal immigrants.

Pashinski and his staff have de-
veloped a program to inform
120th District constituents by
mail and by phone. He said he re-
cently distributed a newsletter
that identifies all of the newvoter
ID requirements and provides
contact numbers. A phone cam-
paignwill beginthismonth, Pash-
inski said.
Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-New-
port Township, anticipated the
rulingandsaidhis office has been
meeting with constituents all
summer to ensure they possess
valid identification.
They should be able to exer-
cise their constitutional right to
vote in November, Mullery said.
The time factor
But state Sen. John Yudichak,
D-Plymouth Township, worries
about the time factor.
Do we have enough time to
implementthisnewlaw?Arethey
prepared to ensure that no one
who is interested in voting is dis-
enfranchised? he asked. I think
its clear the commonwealth is
not prepared.
Rep. Mike Carroll, D-Avoca, al-
so raised concerns with timing
and implementation and said he
had hoped the court would con-
sider those factors in its ruling.
It seems to me more time is
necessary to fairly implement a
program that directly impacts a
citizens right to vote, Carroll
said.
While many spoke as if the law
isfinal andwill beineffect onNov.
6, others were more cautious.
Rep. Karen Boback, R-Harveys
Lake, said she understands that
this ruling is subject to appeal.
State Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Leh-
man Township, said it is encou-
raging that the judge believes
the lawis beingimplementedina
fair manner.
However, it seems clear that
the matter will ultimately be de-
cided by the state Supreme
Court, Baker said.
State Sen. John Blake, D-Arch-
bald, said he has been skeptical
since the voter ID bill was first
proposed by state Republican
leaders.
I have been deeply concerned
for the hundreds of thousands of
eligible voters who couldbe turn-
edaway fromthe polls inour crit-
ically important national election
in November, Blake said. A de-
mocracyworks best whenthereis
maximum voter participation.
Unfortunately, this law serves to
suppress the vote for partisan ad-
vantage.
Thousands lack photo IDs
Blake noted a recent report by
the Pennsylvania Department of
State estimated that 758,000 reg-
istered voters do not have photo
identification cards from the
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation. A significant
number of these voters are senior
citizens who do not drive.
It is time for the common-
wealth to aggressively follow
through on its plan to provide a
free and valid ID to anyone lack-
ing the proper identification to
vote, Blake added.
RULING
Continued from Page 1A
HARRISBURG A tough new voter
identification law championed by Republi-
cans can take effect in Pennsylvania for No-
vembers presidential election, a judge ruled
Wednesday, despite a torrent of criticism
that it will suppress votes among President
Barack Obamas supporters and make it har-
der for the elderly, disabled, poor and young
adults to vote.
Commonwealth Court Judge Robert
Simpson said he would not grant an injunc-
tion that would have halted the law, which
requires eachvoter to showa validphoto ID.
Opponents are expected to file an appeal
within a day or two to the state Supreme
Court as the Nov. 6 election looms.
Were not done, its not over, said Witold
J. Walczak, an American Civil Liberties
Union lawyer who helped argue the case for
the plaintiffs. Its why they make appeals
courts.
The Republican-penned law which
passed over the objections of Democrats
has ignited a furious debate over voting
rights as Pennsylvania is poisedtoplay a key
role in deciding the presidential contest.
Plaintiffs had asked Simpson during a six-
day hearing earlier this summer to block the
law from taking effect in this years election
as part of a wider challenge to its constitu-
tionality.
Republicans, whodefendthelawas neces-
sary to protect the integrity of the election,
praised Simpsons decision, while it was de-
cried by Democrats who say the law will
make it harder, if not impossible, for hun-
dreds of thousands people to vote.
Opponents portray the law as a partisan
scheme to help former Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney beat Obama. In June the
states RepublicanHouse leader boastedtoa
party gathering that the new photo ID re-
quirement is going to allow Gov. Romney
to win the state.
Simpson, a Republican, didnt rule on the
full merits of the case, only whether to grant
a preliminary injunction stopping it from
takingeffect. He rejectedclaims that the law
is unconstitutional and ruled that the chal-
lenge did not meet the stiff requirements to
win an injunction.
A key element of plaintiffs lawyers ap-
peal will likely center on Simpsons decision
not to put a heavier legal burden on the gov-
ernment to justify a law that, they say, in-
fringes on a constitutional right.
At the state Supreme Court, votes by four
justices would be needed to overturn Simp-
sons ruling. The highcourt is currently split
betweenthree Republicans andthree Demo-
crats after the recent suspension of Justice
Joan Orie Melvin, a Republican who is fight-
ing criminal corruption charges.

Wilkes-Barre Area School
Boards monthly meeting
Wednesday, the board worked
through the agenda with no no-
ticeable change in behavior, de-
spite the presence of two Secret
Service agents in the audience.
With school starting in a few
weeks, the board approved six
contracts for various pupil ser-
vices from different agencies,
OKd a contract for transporta-
tionservices for students attend-
ing the Western Pennsylvania
School for the Deaf in Pitts-
burgh, and approved change or-
ders in a contract for the replace-
ment of a leaky water main at
Meyers High School, at a net
cost of nearly $3,690.
The board voted to pay about
$3,400 to have the artificial turf
at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadi-
umcleaned and refurbished, but
decidedtodelay any vote onpur-
chasing a $7,102 machine that
wouldbe usedregularlyafter the

Felix Hernandez finally conquered the pursuit of
perfection hes chased since his debut as a baby-

and a hat that never sat straight.
No more nights of wondering whether this
would be the moment Hernandez twirled a
historic gem.
King Felix has his crowning achievement.
It was always in my mind, every game. I
need to throw a perfect game. For every pitcher
I think its in their mind, Hernandez said. To-

WILKES-BARRE The
second annual Valleys Fas-
test Person race series
opened Wednesday night at
Kirby Park with the Chase
Mile Run. Heidi Peoples set a
new course record in the
Womens Open division and
former Duke Blue Devil
Sean-Patrick Oswald pulled
away from Frank Redmond
to win the Mens Open divi-
sion.
Peoples set out to a fast
pace in the Womens Open
and was challenged early in
the race by Samantha Snu-
kis, of St. Claire, who com-
peted in college at Wagner
College, where she set the
school record in the 800-me-
ter run.
Peoples began to open up
some distance after the half-
way point and pulled away
over the final lap and a half,
turning on some speed over
the final 100 meters to set a
new Chase Mile record of
5:18, 13 seconds ahead of
Snukis.
I really didnt even knowI
was on the pace until every-
body started yelling it out,
said Peoples, who was a Divi-
sion III 1,500-meter national
champion in her time at Mo-
ravian College.
I didnt think it was too
fast of a pace, really, because
I couldnt feel (Samantha)
behind me for most of the
race. I actually thought I
could have gone a little fas-
ter, but Imhappy withthe re-
sult against a tough field and
I think Im set up pretty well
for the next two legs.
The series continues with
two more 1-mile races. The
second leg will be Aug. 22
when entrants will take on
the notoriously steep Giants
Despair Hill. The series con-
cludes on Aug. 31 with the
River Street Mile.
The Mens Open race was
equally as close through the
first two laps with Redmond

his is a game where everybody
wins.
How could they not, with so
much spirit swirling around the field in
the Victory Sports Baseball League?
Thats where players with mental
and physical disabilities from the
Wyoming Valley have been going for
the past year, now that theyre too old
to play in the Challenger Division of
Little League Baseball.
For 21 years, kids have graduated
from Challenger and had no place to
play, said Dan Berry from Pringle.
They do now.
Thanks to people like Berry a par-
ent of two players and the steady pitch-
er in the Victory Sports League and
league president Fred DeSanto, hand-
icapped men and women in this area
dont have to stop playing competitive
baseball when turn 22.
Thats the cutoff age for Little
Leagues Challenger Division.
But those players are getting the
chance for a new challenge on the
baseball field well into adulthood.
The Victory Sports League was start-
ed last August, and currently has about
45 active players ranging in age from15
to 40 who participate. They play most
of their games on Wednesday nights at
the Pittston Township Little League
field, but have also used Little League
fields in Kingston and Forty Fort.
The games are always between two
teams, the Phillies and the Yankees.
They usually last two or three innings
depending on when darkness sets in
or the pizza arrives, whichever comes
first. And players use rubberized base-
balls and bats ranging from hard wood
to those plastic oversized models used
in Wiffleball games.
Everybody bats in each half-inning
and nobody gets out, despite some
dynamite defensive plays that look like
they belong on the highlights of Sports-
Center.
Even foul balls are fair, because there
are no boundaries, and nothing stops
every player from scoring in every
inning.
Its a great deal of fun, Berry said.
Joining the hit parade
It became obvious from the first
batter of Wednesday nights game,
when Andrea Yaglowski led off for the
Yankees by rolling her wheel chair
down the line to beat out a slow groun-
der.
That was just the beginning of the
big hits for the Yankees.
Big Geno Grataldo, the league leader
in home runs, smashed a wicked single
to score two runs. Brandon Harvey, the
Babe Ruth of the team, turned his cap
backwards and pointed to the outfield
to call his shot before powdering a big
hit to left field.
Joey Bubblo used a tomahawk chop
of a swing to bring in a run, and didnt
stop talking about it, or much or any-
thing else.
The Phillies had a few things to talk
about, too.
Their leadoff man A.J. Warakomski
not only rocketed a double in the bot-
tom of the first, he blasted a ball that
landed just in front of the center field
wall the next time up.
This close to a home run, chortled
a delighted Warakomski, holding his
fingers just centimeters apart.
It sounded like his teammate Eric
Davis wanted to part ways with the

SAN FRANCISCO Ste-
phen Strasburg outpitched Tim
Lincecum, Danny Espinosa hit
a go-ahead two-run homer in
the third inning and the Wash-
ington Nationals beat the San
Francisco Giants 6-4 on
Wednesday.
Jayson Werth drove in three
runs and Kurt Suzuki added a
sacrifice fly for the NL East-
leading Nationals, who won
their fourth straight series and
now head home for key series
against divisional opponents
New York and Atlanta.
Strasburg (14-5) struck out
seven and walked four in six
innings to win his third
straight start, while Lincecums
latest shaky outing was over
after just four innings.
Marlins 9, Phillies 2
MIAMI Greg Dobbs drove
in Miamis first run in 31 in-
nings then hit a go-ahead
homer in the sixth off Roy
Halladay to help the Marlins
beat Philadelphia.
Mark Buehrle (10-11)
achieved the 10-win milestone
on his sixth try, extending his
streak reaching double digits
wins to 12 straight years. The
lefty allowed two runs in seven
innings.
Reds 6, Mets 1
CINCINNATI Scott Rolen
and Todd Frazier hit back-to-
back home runs, and Mike
Leake pitched his second com-
plete game of the season, help-
ing the Cincinnati Reds extend
their win streak to five with a
6-1 win over the New York
Mets on Wednesday night.
Jay Bruce homered for the
third consecutive game, help-
ing the first-place Reds im-
prove to 21-8 since All-Star first
baseman Joey Votto was forced
out of the lineup with a left
knee injury.
Dodgers 9, Pirates 3
PITTSBURGH Clayton
Kershaw won his fourth con-
secutive start, Matt Kemp
drove in three runs and the Los
Angeles Dodgers moved into
first place in the NL West with
a 9-3 win over the Pittsburgh
Pirates on Wednesday night.
Kemp had a two-run double
and scored during the Dodgers
three-run fourth against Wandy
Rodriguez (7-12). Shane Victo-
rino singled and scored in that
inning, part of his 3-for-5, two-
run game.
Braves 6, Padres 1
ATLANTA Dan Ugglas
three-run homer in the third
inning gave Atlanta the lead
and Paul Maholm threw seven
strong innings to lead the

The Associated Press
BALTIMORE Held hit-
less by Aaron Cook through
five innings, the Baltimore
Orioles sent 10 batters to the
plate during a five-run sixth
and beat the Boston Red Sox
5-3 Wednesday night.
Baltimore trailed 2-0 before
rallying against Cook, who
fueled the uprising with a
throwing error on a potential
inning-ending, double-play
comebacker. The miscue led
to three unearned runs and
saddled Cook (3-6) with his
fourth loss in five starts.
Rookie Miguel Gonzalez
(5-2) allowed two runs and
six hits in six innings to help
the Orioles (64-53) secure
their ninth win in 11 games
and move a game ahead of
Tampa Bay for the top AL
wild-card spot.
Jim Johnson worked the
ninth for his 35th save in 38
tries.
Tigers 5, Twins 1
MINNEAPOLIS Miguel
Cabrera became the first
player in Tigers history to
reach 30 home runs in five
straight seasons and Max
Scherzer threw seven score-
less innings for Detroit in a
5-1 victory over the Minneso-
ta Twins on Wednesday.
Cabrera also singled in the
fifth off Cole De Vries (2-4)
to push his majors-leading
total to 103 RBIs. His oppo-
site-field solo shot in the first
inning put the Tigers in
front, and Scherzer (12-6)
struck out 10 batters to move
ahead of teammate Justin
Verlander for the AL lead for
at least a few days. Delmon
Young added a two-run
homer against his former
team.
The Tigers began the day
two games behind Chicago in
the AL Central, with seven
contests remaining between
them this season.
White Sox 9, Blue Jays 5
TORONTO Adam Dunn
hit his major league-leading
34th home run, Dayan Vicie-
do and DeWayne Wise also
connected and the Chicago
White Sox beat the Blue Jays
9-5 on Wednesday night,
posting consecutive victories
in Toronto for the first time
in six years.
Gavin Floyd pitched six
innings to snap a three-start
winless streak as the White
Sox won back-to-back games
north of the border for the
first time since Aug. 4-5,
2006. Chicago came in hav-
ing lost 16 of its previous 20
games at Rogers Centre.
Royals 3, Athletics 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Will Smith pitched seven
strong innings, Chris Getz
doubled home the go-ahead
run and the Kansas City
Royals defeated the Oakland
Athletics 3-2 on Wednesday
night.
Smith (4-4), a 23-year-old
rookie left-hander, limited
the As to two runs and five
hits, while striking out five
and walking one.
With two outs in the sev-
enth, Eric Hosmer, Lorenzo
Cain and Getz hit consec-
utive doubles, the first Kan-
sas City extra-base hits of the
game. Cain, who was in a
2-for-24 skid, doubled home
Hosmer to tie the score.

S P O R T S
For the first time in the
PIAA, there is more than one
classification for golf.
The sport has grown in high
schools throughout the state
prompting a split into two
classes 2A and 3A.
This affects the Wyoming
Valley Conference in two
ways. First, Berwick, Cough-
lin, Crestwood, Dallas, Hazle-
ton Area, Pittston Area, Tunk-
hannock and Wyoming Valley
West will now be in Class 3A.
Meyers, GAR, Hanover
Area, Holy Redeemer, Lake-
Lehman, MMI Prep, Nanti-
coke, Wyoming Area and
Wyoming Seminary are part of
Class 2A.
The change throughout the
state also led to a divisional
realignment in the conference.
So as the WVC season begins
today with two meets, the
regional divisions are no long-
er intact. Instead, the divisions
are numbered 1-4 based on
classification.
Each team plays the teams
in their division twice and the
teams from the other division
in their classification once. If
this happened last year, the
most exciting meet in the
conference wouldnt have
occurred between the two top
teams in Pittston Area and
Holy Redeemer because they
are now in different classifica-
tions.
What disappoints me is
that I have one of the best
teams in the conference that
weve ever had and were not
going to be playing some of
the better teams like Pittston
Area or Crestwood, Holy
Redeemer coach Art Brunn Jr.
said. Now, it might help us as
a team and some of the indi-
viduals in the postseason, but
well see.
Another way this influences
the conference and the district
is that there will be four differ-
ent leaderboards when it
comes time for the postseason
tournaments. The Pre-District
Tournament will still be one
day, but the results will be
split between 2A and 3A in
boys and girls.
That in turn could benefit
Brunn and the two-time de-
fending conference champions
because two of his players,
Mariano Medico and Chase
Makowski have had solid
summers and could possibly
be missing some of the top
golfers around the state when
the postseason rolls around.
It might help us as a team
and it might help some of the
individual players, Brunn
said. Its a Catch-22 because
you always want to be the best
and always want to beat the
best players.
Top Teams
Crestwood: The Comets
always seem to have a good
season. Last year they finished
9-3 to tie Berwick for the
Southern Division champion-
ship. Some key players have
graduated from that team, but
Crestwood should still con-
tend. Being in Division II
means having to compete with
Wyoming Valley West for the
division title.
Dallas: A fairly young team
last season, the Mountaineers
had a strong campaign to
return to the postseason as
co-champion of the North
Division with Wyoming Valley
West. The key players from
last year return for 2012 and
Dallas will participate in Divi-
sion I with its top competition
being Pittston Area.
Holy Redeemer: The two-
time defending conference
champions are still young and
powerful and the Royals are
still the favorite to claim the
conference championship
when all is said and done.
They are participating in Divi-
sion III and should run away
with the division title for the
fifth straight season.
Pittston Area: The Patriots
lose Brandon Matthews, one
of the top golfers to ever play
in the WVC. While he was a
big part of the teams success,
they still have a nice core
returning from a team that
had just one loss in 2011. Play-
ing in Division I, Pittston Area
will have stiff competition
from Dallas.
Wyoming Valley West: En-
tering 2012 riding a two-year
streak as division champion of
the Northern Division, the
Spartans return many partici-
pants from both of those
groups. They will have to go
through a tough Crestwood
squad to make it three straight
division titles.
Top Players
Jake Popowycz, senior,
Crestwood
Last year, he tied for 12th at
the Preseason Tryba Tourna-
ment, tied for 15th at the pre-
district tournament and qual-
ified for districts for the third
straight season.
Austin Smith, senior, Dallas
One of the most consistent
golfers in the WVC during his
career, hes a three-time dis-
trict qualifier and placed sixth
at the Tryba Preseason tourna-
ment in 2011and followed that
with a tie for 10th in pre-dis-
tricts.
Mariano Medico, junior,
Holy Redeemer
Hes coming off a great
summer which he won pre-
mier championships. This
after he took second in the
District 2 tournament and
won the pre-district tourney
and is a two-time district qual-
ifier.
Chase Makowski, junior,
Holy Redeemer
Like his teammate Medico,
hes a two-time district qual-
ifier. Last year, he was second
at the Tryba tourney, a fourth
at pre-districts and a 12th at
the District 2 Tournament.
Ryan Tracy, senior, Pittston
Area
He was No. 2 to Brandon
Matthews for most of his ca-
reer and now assumes the top
spot. In 2011, he tied for fourth
at the Tryba Preseason Tour-
nament and for 25th at pre-
districts to qualify for the
District 2 Tournament for the
third straight season.
Chris McCue, senior, Wyom-
ing Valley West
Hes a three-time district
qualifier and last year was his
best season finishing tied for
fourth at the Tryba Preseason
Tournament and 16th at pre-
districts. He is one of many
reasons the Spartans have won
two straight division titles.
COMING UP
The annual Tryba Preseason
Tournament will be held Aug.
27 at Fox Hill Country Club.
Thats also the date you can
catch each teams full lineup,
preview and outlook for the

ached its pinnacle at 3:02 p.m.
PDT when Hernandez threw a
called third strike past Sean Ro-
drigueztoignitethecelebration.
Ridingdownina crowdedele-
vator after the game, Seattle
general manager Jack Zdurien-
cikjokinglyheldhiscellphoneto
his ear and said, No, were not
trading Felix.
It almost seems like a matter
of time before this happens,
Seattle catcher John Jaso said.
A little dribbler here or some-
thing its ruined, but his compet-
itiveattitudeandmindhebrings
out to the mound each time he
pitches, you know you have a
guy out there who is going to
give you a chance to win.
It was the third perfect game
in baseball this season a first
joining gems by Chicagos
PhilipHumber against the Mari-
ners inApril andSanFranciscos
Matt Cain versus Houston in
June. More than half of all per-
never hid his desire for pitching
perfection. For a franchise on its
way to an 11th straight season
without a playoff appearance,
Hernandez is the one constant
keeping fans interested in Mari-
ners baseball.
Hes revered in the Pacific
Northwest, not only for his per-
formance on the mound, but for
his willingness to stay. When he
could have waited and sought a
bigger payday, Hernandez
signed an extension that keeps
him in Seattle through 2014.
So when the Kings Court of
yellow-shirted fans in the left-
field corner began chanting
Lets Go Felix! to start the
eighth inning, it spread through
the entire stadium. The crescen-
doof screams andyells finallyre-
fectos 12 have come in the
last 25 seasons.
This also was the sixth no-hit-
ter in the majors this season,
three of them at Safeco Field.
Humber threw his gem in Seat-
tle, then six Mariners pitchers
combined to hold the Los An-
geles Dodgers hitless at the park
on June 8. There have been sev-
en no-hitters in a season twice
since 1900. It happened in 1990
and again in 1991, with Nolan
Ryan throwing two.
For the Rays, it was an all-too-
familiar feeling. This was the
third time in four seasons they
had a perfect game pitched
against them, following efforts
by Dallas Braden in 2010 and
Mark Buehrle in 2009.
The one thing Ive learned is
that no-hitters and perfect
games dont mean anything
about tomorrow, anyway, Rays
manager Joe Maddon said.
Hernandezs dominance got
stronger as the game pro-
gressed. He cruised for five in-
nings, then pitched through
tough at-bats, delay tactics and
themountingpressureof perfec-
tion to close out the gem. Her-
nandez struck out 12, including
but eight in the final four in-
nings. He struck out the side in
the sixth, did it again in the
eighth and hit as high as 95 mph
in the ninth.
Two starts earlier against the
New York Yankees, Hernandez
tossed a two-hit shutout, lead-
ing Seattle manager Eric Wedge
to call it the finest outing hes
seen fromHernandez. Suffice to
say, Wednesday was better.
It was special. He had special
stuff, Wedge said. But Felix is
so consistently good that when
he does take it up to another lev-
el which weve seen him do
through the course of the year,
younever knowhowits goingto
turn out.

local racing scene, is 66 andfight-
ing what his doctor have toldhim
is a winningbattle against cancer.
I just couldnt believe it, I was
in shock when Richard an-
nounced that, I just cant believe
it, said Chase after the announ-
cement. That peoplethinkof me
that way, Im amazed.
Admittedly, Chase and Pais
knoweachother only fromthe lo-
cal racing circuit.
But after a passing and casual
conversation the two had last
summer at the same even, Pais
was moved to action.
We were both standing off to
the side of the race, I was getting
readyfor myheat andRichwasnt
running, Pais said. And he said
to me that it would have always
meant something to him if we
could get a really competitive, re-
ally special mile race back here at
Kirby Park.
I had known for a little bit,
then, that Rich was fighting hard
and after hearing him say that I
thought to myself about how,
sometimes, we dont recognize
what we have in the people were
around. And after all the years
hes given to the sport, I wanted
to do something for him.
Chase, who says he has run a
thousand races in his 37 years of
running, didnt compete at this
years inaugural Chase Mile, but
is determined to get back to the
starting line.
Its a decision that, for a man as
determined as he is, might be all
he needs to complete the run.
Its an attitude that, according
to his doctors, has kept Chase go-
ing since his diagnosis, citing his
fitness and ability to recover and
also his will to continue.
One of my favorite quotes of
Rich, according to his son, is that
he often speaks of younger run-
ners who slow down when the
pain comes, Pais said. And he
says, If I could put my mind in
that body, we would never lose.
And I think thats fantastic.
Oh yeah, Chase concurred,
theyd fly.
Ive had a couple setbacks, but
Im back to the running, walking
and running, trying to build
things up and Ill just keep trying.
When people ask me at different
times, what do I do, how do I
keep it up, I tell them I cant give
one minute of my time up. I tell
them that I refuse to let this can-
cer take one minute of my time
and take away from what I want
to do.
Fittingly, Chase has entered
himself into the second and eas-
ily most challenging leg of the se-
ries, a climb up Giants Despair.
Im going to give it a try. Of
course Ill have to run and walk
some if it, said Chase. I hope to
get back to training hard enough
that I can do the mile next year.
Theres nothing you can do
about it, soyoujust goahead. You
cant look back and complain
about it, youve just got to go
ahead.

Oswald began to pull away
fromRedmondwitha little over a
lap to go and continued setting
himself apart from the field over
the final lap to finish in a time of
4:28. Redmond finished second
in a time of 4:34.
Any time you can come out
with a victory it feels great, said
Oswald, who holds Dukes school
record in the 800-meter run. I
had a pace that I wanted to hit,
and I was a little slower than that
pace, but I came out here just
with the expectation of running
hard and getting good first race.
I think Im in a great position,
but I know there are strong com-
petitors in this series and I want
to continue to push myself and
try and win this series.

wanted to be like New York Yan-

Mainly, everyone just wanted
to have a blast. And they did
when Chris Berry (the pitchers
son) racedaroundthe bases totie
the game by scoring the final run.
To the players, I think this is a
big part of their lives, Dan Berry
said. They take this very seri-
ously. They have a great deal of
fun.
How could they not in a Victo-

PAWTUCKET, R.I. The
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
held on to their one-game lead in
the NorthDivisionwitha double-
header split against the Pawtuck-
et Red Sox.
The Yankees won the first
gameof thedoubleheader bya5-1
score, and the Red Sox used a 5-2
victory to pull back within a
game of first place in a rain-short-
ened nightcap.
In the opener, Pawtucket start-
er Daisuke Matsuzaka held the
Yankees scoreless through the
first four innings before the Yan-
kees posteda five spot inthe fifth.
Kosuke Fukudome gave Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre broke a stale-
mate with a two-RBI single that
scored Francisco Cervelli and
Melky Mesa. An errant throw on
a Chris Dickerson sacrifice bunt
and a Corban Joseph single yield-
ed the Yankees final two runs of
the frame.
Mesa also added an RBI and a
double.
Ramon Ortiz pitched a seven-
inning complete game to notch
his 11th win of the season. Ortiz
struck out six, allowed one
earned run and gave up six hits.
Umpires called the second
game due to rain after the top of
the fifth inning, just 1:17 after the
first pitch. The RedSoxscore two
runs in the first inning when an
errant Manny Delcarmen throw
allowed a runner to score and
provided Pawtucket with a run-
ner in scoring position.
Andy LaRoche launched a
three-run home run in the third
to give the Red Sox a five-run
lead.
The Yankees chipped away at
the deficit witha runinthe fourth
and fifth inning. Ronnier Muste-
liers sacrifice fly in the fourth
scored Kevin Russo in the fourth,
and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
scored its final run on a double
play with no outs.
Delcarmen was the losing
pitcher, allowing four runs in 2

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Country music star Kenny
Chesney strode along an ex-
tended stage at MetLife Stadi-
um, holding aloft a Giants hel-
met in one hand, a Jets helmet
in the other. Overwhelmingly,
the loudest cheers came when
he extended the blue Giants
head gear.
Chesney knowingly men-
tioned, in reference to his 2011
hit song, that the Boys of Fall
are coming back. And pretty
much everywhere except on
that night at the Meadowlands,
the Super Bowl champions are
beingovershadowedas we close
in on another season.
Eclipsed by Tebowmania. By
Rex Ryan and his entertaining
proclamations. By a cornerback
declaring he is the second-best
receiver on the roster.
By the feuding and fighting
during practice by Gang Green,
which didnt even make the
playoffs last season.
The Giants couldnt care less.
This is just the way we like
it, team owner John Mara said
as he watched his team prepare
for Saturday nights annual
Battle of New York, which
hasnt been played in New York
indecades. We are not tryingto
be on the front page, the back
page, the lead story right now.
That other stuff we see, I do
find it amusing; they do have
personalities on that team. But
more than a commentary on the
Jets or any of us in football, its a
commentary more on the
media, isnt it?
But we dont worry about
what the headlines will be the
next day.
The Jets do, fromowner Woo-
dy Johnson on down. Winning
the back pages of the newspa-
pers seems to be priority No. 1
for them.
The headlines rarely have be-
longed to the Giants almost
since March. They enjoyed the
spoils of winners, are trying not
to be spoiled by winning, and
have flown so far under the ra-
dar this summer that it doesnt
seem like they left the ground.
While their co-owners of the
two-year-old stadium can be
found hourly, if not more often,
on ESPN some folks joke
about an upcoming new chan-
nel, TSPN (T for Tim Tebow, of
course) as well as all over the
tabloids, the Giants quietly go
about business. Theyre more
concerned about avoiding any
Super Bowl hangover than
about being cast in the next se-
quel to The Hangover.
If the Jets are the NFLs ver-
sion of Hollywood, the Giants
are, well, Big Blue-collar New
Jersey, far more Springsteen
than Snooki.
After we won (in 2007), we
wereplayingbetter thenext sea-
son than the team that won the
Super Bowl, general manager
Jerry Reese said. But it didnt
work out at the end of the sea-
son, so I dont think you can say
that (was a Super Bowl hangov-
er). We just didnt play well in
the first round of the playoffs af-
ter winning our division.
We had veterans on that
team who now have won two
Super Bowls. They know what
it takes to avoid a Super Bowl
hangover that somesayacham-
pionship team gets when it
wins. But for us, its keep your
head down and plow forward.
We do the things weve always
done.
One thing these teams have
almost always done is face off in
a preseasongame. This year you
can count on more attention be-
ing paid to how much Tebow
will play as a quarterback, in the
wildcat or as a punt protector
than to what two-time Super
Bowl MVP Eli Manning will do.

Eli Manning and the Giants have won two Super Bowls in the past five years, including last years championship. But as training

PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh
Steelers linebacker James Harri-
son underwent left knee surgery
on Wednesday, clouding his
chances of returning in time for
the start of the regular season.
Coach Mike Tomlin called the
procedure minor but wouldnt
put a timetable on when Harri-
son will be ready. The four-time
Pro Bowler and 2008 NFL Defen-
sive Player of the Year will re-
main on the physically unable to
perform list indefinitely.
ThekneelimitedHarrisondur-
ing Organized Team Activities in
May but Tomlin dismissed the
idea that Harrison could have un-
dergone the surgery during the
spring and simply put it off.
We address things as they
arise, Tomlin said. We felt like
the procedure was necessary at
this time, so we had it.
The 34-year-old Harrison has
been one of the most dominant
defensive players in the league
over the last half-decade but has
dealt with a series of setbacks
duringthelast18months. Hehad
surgery in February 2011 to deal
with a balky back and missed a
month last season when he frac-
tured his right orbital bone in a
loss to the Houston Texans.
Defensive end Brett Keisel,
who sees Harrison regularly in
the teams weight room, doesnt
think Harrison will be out for an
extended period.
They said he should be fine,
he said.
With Harrison and fellow out-
side linebacker Jason Worilds on
the PUP list, it means second-
year linebacker Chris Carter will
see plenty of action on Sunday
when the Steelers face the Indi-
anapolis Colts.

OXNARD, Calif. Jason
Witten is going to have to get
used to not doing much of any-
thing if he wants to play in the
season opener next month.
Dallas Cowboys coach Jason
Garrett saidWednesday that his
Pro Bowl tight end sustained a
slightly lacerated spleen in
the preseason opener Monday
night against Oakland. The best
way for Witten to heal is to re-
main as inactive as possible.
Its a very serious injury and
were really taking this thing
day by day, Garrett said. He
has to be very still and idle for
the next week to10 days, so you
wont see him out here on the
practice field. He wont play in
the game this week or next
week. Weve just got to make
sure he heals as well as possible,
as quickly as possible.
Witten is expected to miss
the rest of the preseason, start-
ing with Saturday nights game
at San Diego. The Cowboys
open the season in three weeks,
Sept. 5, at the defending Super
Bowl champion New York Gi-
ants.
The coach said doctors will
reassess Witten next week af-
ter weve had a few days of him
not doing anything. Surgery
would be an option if the spleen
isnt healing properly by then.
Witten apparently got hurt af-
ter he caught a pass from a
scrambling Tony Romo and was
immediately hit from the side
by Oakland linebacker Rolando
McClain. The play resulted in a
2-yard loss.
Witten has missed only one
game in his nine NFL seasons.
That was during his rookie sea-
son in 2003 when he had a bro-
ken jaw.
Asking Wit to be still and
idle is a hard thing, thats the
biggest challenge right now.
But he has to do that, he just has
to let time heal it, Garrett said.
Jason has gotten off to a tre-
mendous, tremendous start to
training camp and laid a great
foundation for himself. ... Hes
looked as good as Ive seen him
look since Ive been around
him.
Witten is a seven-time Pro
Bowler who is one of Romos fa-
vorite targets. His 696 career re-
ceptions are second in teamhis-
tory to Michael Irvin.
Spleen injury puts Cowboys Witten in limbo
The star tight end will miss
at least the rest of the
preseason while recovering.

I accept my suspension under
the Joint DrugProgramandI will
try to move on with my life. I am
deeply sorry for my mistake andI
apologize to my teammates, to
the San Francisco Giants organi-
zation and to the fans for letting
them down.
The suspension would extend
into the playoffs if the Giants ad-
vance.
Cabrera is batting .346 with 11
home runs and60RBIs inhis first
season with San Francisco and is
five hits shy of 1,000 in his big
league career. Flashing bright or-
ange spikes, he singled and hit a
two-run homer last month in the
National Leagues 8-0 win in the
All-Star game, earning MVP hon-
ors for the game and securing
homefield advantage for the
World Series.
Its disappointing. Obviously,
Melkymeans a lot toall of us, was
part of our championship and
provided some really good mo-
ments here, Yankees manager
Joe Girardi said. Its something
that everyone has to deal with
and its something baseball is try-
ing to stay away from and it hap-
pened.
Cabrera could still win the NL
batting title. He has 501 plate ap-
pearances, oneless thanthemini-
mum required to win a batting
championship for a player on a
team playing 162 games. Howev-
er, under 10.22(a) of the Official
Baseball Rules, he would win the
batting title if an extra hitless at-
bat is added to his average and it
remains higher than that of any
other qualifying player.
He will miss the final 45 games
of the regular season and serve
the remainder of the suspension
at the start of next season or dur-
ingthe postseason, dependingon
whether the Giants make the
playoffs and how far they ad-
vance. If the Giants wanted him
to become active in the middle of
a playoff series, they would have
to play a man short fromthe start
of the series until the suspension
ends because rosters cant be al-
tered mid-series.
We were extremely disap-
pointed, the Giants said in a
statement. We fully support Ma-
jor League Baseballs policy and
its efforts to eliminate perform-
ance enhancing drugs from our
game.
Cabrera became the second Gi-
ants player to receive a drug sus-
pension this season. Reliever
Guillermo Mota was penalized
for 100 games in May, becoming
just the third major league player
disciplined twice for positive
drug tests. Mota is eligible to re-
turn Aug. 28, barring rainouts,
andbeganaminor leaguerehabil-
itation assignment Tuesday with
the Giants rookie team in Arizo-
na.
It was not immediately known
whether Cabreras positive test
occurred before the All-Star
game. The union initially filed a
grievance, which would have
causedthe case togobefore anar-
bitrator, but then dropped it, a
person familiar with the process
said. The person spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because that
detail was not announced.
Cabrera told CSN Bay Area on
July 27 that he had been tested
for performance-enhancing
drugs the previous week, though
its unknown whether the test he
referenced resulted in the posi-
tive test.
Drug-testing labs check urine
for its ratio of testosterone to
epitestosterone, which usually is
1to1in adult males. If the lab no-
tices any abnormality, it con-
ducts an isotope ratio mass spec-
trometry (IRMS) test to deter-
mine whether the testosterone is
exogenous, or came fromoutside
the body.
The 28-year-old Cabrera, who
became a marketing phenom-
enon this year with nicknames
like Got Melk? MelkMan and
Melky Way, produced a 51-hit
month in May. Cabrera batted
.429 in May with three homers,
five triples, seven doubles and 17
RBIs. He hit safely in 25 of 29
games. The 51hits matched Ran-
dy Winn for most hits in a month
since the club came to San Fran-
cisco in 1958.
Cabrera also set the San Fran-
cisco record for most hits in May,
passing Hall of Famer Willie
Mays 49 from1958.
Cabrera came tothe Giants ina
trade with Kansas City last No-
vember that sent left-hander Jo-
nathan Sanchez to the Royals.

NEW YORK Rafael Nadals
Grand Slamcount will stay stuck
at 11 for now, sidetracked by an-
other knee problem.
The third-ranked Spaniard
withdrew from the U.S. Open on
Wednesday. Tendinitis has kept
him out of action since his stun-
ning loss at Wimbledon in late
June.
The injury already forced him
out of the London Olympics,
where he was supposedtodefend
his title andcar-
ry Spains flag
in the opening
ceremony.
I am very
sad to an-
nounce that I
amnot ready to
play the US
Open in NY.
Thanks to my fans for their sup-
port and specially, the new york-
ers, Nadal wrote on his Twitter
account.
Nadal is still only 26, but the
withdrawals raise questions
about the future of a player who
has had recurring knee problems
in the past.
His 11 Grand Slam titles in-
clude a record seven on the red
clay of the French Open, yet his
hard-charging, hard-hitting style
of play takes a toll on his body,
particularly his knees.
Roger Federer, in contrast, has
played in every Grand Slamtour-
nament since the start of 2000, a
streak of 51 in a row.
In2009, Nadal missedWimble-
don because of aching knees
shortly after falling in the round
of 16 at the French Open the
only time ineight appearances he
hasnt won at Roland Garros. He
was just the second mens cham-
pion in 35 years to decline to de-
fend his title.
But Nadal eventually came
backstronger thanever fromthat
layoff. After failing to reach the fi-
nal at the 2009 U.S. Open and
2010AustralianOpen, hewonthe
French to start a run of three
straight major titles, capped by
completing the career Grand
Slam at Flushing Meadows.
Nadals absence immediately
leaves a trio of heavy favorites at
the last Grand Slam event of the
year: defending champion Novak
Djokovic; five-time U.S. Open
winner and currently top-ranked
Federer; and 2008 U.S. Open run-
ner-up Andy Murray, who won
the gold medal in singles at the
London Games by beating Feder-
er in the final.
My excitement is always the
same when I amapproaching any
Grand Slam. Obviously its the
biggest tournaments we have in
sport, Djokovic said. Yes, the
fact is that tennis is going to lose
a little bit because of Rafa not be-
ing there and playing, because
hes somebody that has made a
history of this sport. We all know
how good he is and how popular
he is.
Nadal lost in the U.S. Open fi-
nal to Djokovic last year, part of a
stretch of three straight defeats
to the Serb in championship
matches at major tournaments.
But he seemed to be closing the
gap, and at Roland Garros in
June, he beat Djokovic inthe final
for his record seventh title there.
Thencame the stunningloss at
Wimbledon, and Nadal hasnt
played since.
The two-week U.S. Open be-
gins play Aug. 27.
Rafa has informed us that he
will not be ready to compete at
the U.S. Open this year and has
withdrawn from the tourna-
ment, tournament director Da-
vid Brewer said. We hope to see
him back on the court soon and
look forward to his return to New
York next year.

Genco expands in Humboldt
Genco ATC, North Americas second-
largest third-party logistics provider,
has leased 203,821 square feet from
Mericle Commercial Real Estate Ser-
vices in Humboldt Industrial Park, near
Hazleton.
The company will use the space to
provide warehousing, distribution and
supply-chain services to a large con-
sumer products company.
Genco will occupy about half the
space in a 408,200-square-foot building
that Mericle built on speculation sever-
al years ago, Mericle Vice President Bill
Jones said.
Mericle spokesman Jim Cummings
said Genco has occupied a smaller
building in the park and could not
provide information on potential job
growth.
Inflation remains flat
U.S. consumer prices were un-
changed in July from June, as a small
drop in energy costs offset slightly
higher food prices.
The consumer price index hasnt
increased since March, evidence that
the weak economy is keeping inflation
in check.
Food and gas prices will likely rise in
the coming months. The Midwest
drought has damaged crops, which will
likely push up food costs and gas prices
are on the rise, increasing 30 cents in
the past month.
Brazil boosts roads, rail
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff
announced a nearly $66 billion in-
vestment package on Wednesday to
beef up the nations ailing road and rail
systems, part of efforts to solve serious
transportation bottlenecks and spur a
sputtering economy.
The investment includes laying
6,200 miles of train tracks and building
or widening 4,660 miles of federal
highways.Transportation bottlenecks
have long made it difficult to move
Brazils massive amounts of commod-
ities from far-flung fields and mines to
foreign markets.
Stores bet on mobile pay
A bevy of big-name retailers includ-
ing Wal-Mart Stores and Target said
Wednesday theyve created a new com-
pany, Merchant Customer Exchange,
to develop a mobile payment applica-
tion that will be available for nearly any
smartphone. The app is expected to
integrate a variety of coupons, rebates
and loyalty programs.

MINNEAPOLIS -- For much of the
20th century, going to the movies
meant walking to a single-screen
neighborhood theater, where the light
froma projector passedthroughstrips
of celluloid. Jeffrey Eisentraut loved
that so much when he was growing up
that he eventually moved to Southern
Illinois to run three historic theaters.
But now Eisentraut and other inde-
pendent operators are under siege.
The movie studios are rapidly re-
placing reels of celluloid film with
hard drives that are cheaper for them
to ship and compatible with lucrative
3-D technology. Hollywood says the
digital conversion will benefit movie-
goers with consistently bright images
and state-of-the-art sound. But in the
next few months, exhibitors who
dont purchase expensive digital pro-
jectors may be forced out of business.
Movie-theater owners have invest-
ed in many upgrades, from stereo
sound to stadium seating, even while
losing large portions of their audience
to television, home video and the In-
ternet. But the cost of the digital con-
version is unprecedented: about
$50,000 per auditorium.
Most of the big theater chains have
already converted all their theaters.
The Landmark chain of art-house the-
aters will be completely digital by the
end of the year. But smaller operators
are checking their bank accounts --
and their calendars.
One pressing deadline is Sept. 30,
the last date for exhibitors to join the
studios virtual print fee, or VPF,
program. That program reimburses
theater owners if they agree to play a
certain number of newdigital releases
per year. Many operators of single-
screen theaters are unable -- or unwill-
ing -- to participate in the program.
Thats because studios require mul-
tiweek contracts to get the best films.
Thus a cinema that doesnt have a sec-
ond screen to move a fading title and
fulfill the contract is penalized.

TODAYS MEDIA
MARKET is becom-
ing increasingly frag-
mented not just by
new news providers,
but also by the meth-
ods we use to send
and receive informa-
tion.
For a business, being on the In-
ternet is a generic phrase, encom-
passing social media, e-mail market-
ing, websites, apps, paid search,
search engine optimization, banner
advertising and other marketing
tools.
As advertisers begin leaning to-
wards these new channels, their
messages, as well as their marketing
dollars, become increasingly diluted
not because theyre ineffective, but
because the way theyre used differs
widely across markets and demo-
graphics. It takes real expertise to
reach the right audience effectively,
and the results can be extremely
rewarding.
So why did Internet titan Google,
which owns vast online advertising
networks, place ads in Canadas Globe
and Mail and the National Post?
The ad, which boldly proclaims
You know who needs a haircut?
People searching for a haircut, is
designed to promote Googles paid
search platform, called Google Ad-
Words, which tailors advertisements
to searches performed on Google-
.com.
Was it, as some Internet commenta-
tors have posited, an ironic statement
about the ineffectiveness of print
advertisements?
Or did Google genuinely believe
the ad would get results?
Google can already reach most of
the people who are likely to be using
AdWords with its own marketing
tools. If youve done a Google search
within the past year, youve probably
run across Google AdWords, whether
you realize it or not.
Running an ad in a newspaper is
probably one of the few methods
Google has left at its disposal to re-
ach a truly new audience.
And at the risk of over-generalizing
about advertising, in contrast to on-
line, radio or TV, print ads dont go
away as soon as you navigate away
from the page or the show returns
from the commercial break. They
stick around.
By advertising in print, is Google
poking fun at old media? Maybe,
maybe not.
What I suspect, though, is that a
60-year-old CEO is more likely to be
reading Globe and Mail than they are
to be putzing around on Google Ad-
Words or paying attention to the ads
on a website, no matter how much
tech-savvy posturing they do in pub-
lic.
If thats the case, Googles product
line might not have entered into their
awareness until they saw that ad.

Whats to be made of Googles foray into newspaper advertising?

DETROIT The number of U.S. car
dealerships is rising again after thou-
sands of closures during the recession.
Its another sign of strength for the car
industry, which has been seeing steady
sales increases over the last fewyears de-
spite the wobbly recovery. Its also good
news for the economy, since newcar dea-
lerships typically employ around 53 peo-
ple, according to the National Auto Deal-
ers Association.
There were 17,767 U.S. dealerships at
the end of 2011, or 108 more than at the
end of 2010, according to a report re-
leasedthis week by UrbanScience, a con-
sulting firm. Ina typical year, the number
of dealerships falls by 2 percent because
of retirements anddownsizing, soariseis
fairly significant.
The two largest contributors to the in-
crease were Fiat, whichadded135 dealer-
ships, andChrysler, whichadded50. Cali-
fornia sawthe most dealership openings,
with 31. New Jersey was next with10.
Its a reversal fromthedownturn, when
General Motors and Chrysler filed for
bankruptcy protection and shuttered
hundreds of dealerships as part of the
process. Some Ford Motor Co. dealers
were also forced to close when Ford stop-
pedsellingits Mercurybrand. Other deal-
ers closed because banks froze up and
they couldnt get financing. Urban Sci-
ence said 3,306 dealers closed from2008
to 2010.
The dealerships that held on and
stayed open during the recession are
more profitable. U.S. dealers are on track
to have a record number of sales per dea-
lership this year, Urban Science said.
Sales per dealership increased10 percent
to 719 in 2011, which is approaching the
current record of 784 in 2005.

We have turned
on the atmos-
pheric dehumidi-
er today to
help lower the
dew points down
into the mid 50s.
So despite
having a very
warm morning,
a noticable drop
in the humidity
will make for a
very pleasant
afternoon. Clear
skies tonight
will turn partly
cloudy for
Friday as anoth-
er cold front
blows across the
state. This will
probably bring
another shower
to most areas
into early Friday
evening. Cooler
and drier air will
move in
Saturday and
with plenty of
sunshine, your
satisfaction is
guaranteed.
Chances are the
hottest weather
of the summer is
now behind us.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms will be likely along a frontal boundary from the
central Great Lakes to the southern Plains. Strong to severe storms will be possible from Indiana to
northern Arkansas. Showers will linger over northern New England as low pressure moves away to
the northeast. Monsoonal thunderstorms will be widespread across the Southwest.

If you have teens, youve probably grown ac-
customed to seeing themlighted by the glowof
a phone screen. Well, theres some good and
bad news coming from the hours they spend
speed-tapping notes to one another.
Good news: The hours your kids are spend-
ing face to phone are paying off. They have be-
come fluent in a second language. Bad news:
That language is texting.
Andworse: There isnt (yet) a textingportion
on the SAT, so theyll need to work harder to
recover those grammar skills they are killing
with every LOL and BRB.
A new study confirms what many parents
suspect. The more kids send and receive texts,
the worse their grammar skills become.
Withthe culture of mobile communication
quick back and forth inevitably, there are
compromises on traditional, cultural writing,
said S. Shyam Sundar, professor of communi-
cations and co-director of Pennsylvania State
Universitys Media Effects Research Laborato-
ry, which conducted the study.
Tech-
speak, as
Sundar and
his research
partner
Drew P. Cin-
gel call it,
has become
so routine
and preva-
lent among
young users
that its
eroding
their foun-
dation of ba-
sic gram-
mar.
Routine
use of tex-
tual adapta-
tions by cur-
rent and fu-
ture genera-
tions of
13-to-17-year-olds may serve to create the im-
pression that this is normal and accepted use of
the language and rob this age group of a funda-
mental understanding of standard English
grammar, they said in their published find-
ings.
Basically, kids arent able to code switch
shift between standard grammar and the abbre-
viations used in text messages, Sundar said.
Those abbreviations have essentially become
the words for them.
Adults not raised on text-friendly abbrevia-
tions in their formative years are able to shift
between formal and informal language, Sundar
said. Kids consuming a steady diet of textual
adaptations arent.
Results show broad support for a general
negative relationship between the use of tech-
speak in text messages and scores on a gram-
mar assessment, the study results said.
Linguists arent particularly disturbed by the
trend, Sundar said. The linguists will tell you
the language is very dynamic.
True, words that were once dismissed as just
catchy lyrics among certain demographics
have made it into the mainstream andinto the
dictionary.

No LOL matter:
Texting is killing
grammar skills
Researchers had kids ages 10 to 14 take a gram-
mar test. And it turned out those who sent or
received texts recently performed worse on the
exam. Heres a sample of the questions, so you
can test yourself to see how text saturation
has affected your grammar:
1. During the flood, we (dranked, drank, drunk,
drunked) bottled water.
2. Fortunately, Jims name was (accepted, ex-
cepted) from the roster of those who would have
to clean bathrooms because he was supposed to
go downtown to (accept, except) a reward for the
German Club.
3. I dont know how I could (lose, loose) such a big
dress. It is so large that it is (lose, loose) on me
when I wear it!
4. (Its, Its, Its) an honor to accept the awards

TEST YOUR GRAMMAR
A
KRON, Ohio When Emma Dontis was deciding where to go to college, the pricey
College of Wooster got the nod, in part because she loved the campus and in part
because it offered to slash $35,000 off the yearly bill of $50,000.
It came down to money, Dontis
said. It was the only in-state school I
applied to, and I decided I wanted to
stay close to home. And they gave me
quite a bit of money.
Dontis had discovered a little-
known secret of higher education.
While the sticker price for private col-
leges appears to be much higher than
that of their public counterparts, the
privates also called independents
often slash student bills by half or
more.
That means many students al-
most all, really do not pay the pub-
lishedlist prices of $30,000to$50,000
that are common at many private col-
leges.
According to an April study by the
National Association of College and
University Business Officers (NACU-
BO), the average first-time, full-time
freshman nationwide received
$12,000 in grants in 2009. That signif-
icantly offset the average tuition of
$28,600 at private, not-for-profit insti-
tutions, whichawardtwo-thirds of the
institutional aid nationwide.
Sometimes these awards are fund-
ed, which means that the institution
has donations or endowment pro-
ceeds real money to pay for
them.
But more often, the scholarships
(for merit) and grants (for need) are
what the colleges consider unfund-
ed, whichmeans theyaresimplycuts
in the colleges published list price.
They can be swept away, much like a
car dealer reduces the price of a vehi-
cle. Sticker prices in cars and high-
er education alike are not always
real.
At Oberlin College in Lorain Coun-
ty, Ohio, for example, only 15 to 20
percent of the $54 million in institu-
tional aid is funded, according to Rob
Reddy, director of financial aid.
What we do (in financial aid) is
create a budget, subtract the family
contribution and meet 100 percent of
the need, he said. Given that Ober-
lins list price is $57,000 a year, one of
the highest in Ohio, the need can be
considerable.
We understand that expense is a
major concern, Reddy said. We try
to attract students who will thrive.
Then we talk about the cost factor.
As college costs have skyrocketed
in the past two decades, so has the
amount that private colleges are will-
ing to slash off the bill.
According to the NACUBO study,

has grown from about 27 percent
in1990 to37 percent in2000 toal-
most 43 percent last fall.
The practice is so pervasive
that almost 86 percent of first-
time, full-time freshmen at pri-
vatecolleges nationwidegot price
breaks, according to the study.
At Walsh University in North
Canton, 98 percent of students
get some kind of institutional aid
almost all of it unfunded to
meet theyearlycost of $35,000for
tuition, fees, roomandboard, said
Brett Freshour, vice president for
enrollment management.
While $35,000 is a relatively
moderate cost for a private col-
lege, it still is out of reach for
many of the universitys students,
he said.
The mission of our founders,
the Brothers of Christian Instruc-
tion, was to educate the working
classes, Freshour said. Walsh
students are not on the wealthy
end of the spectrum. A good per-
centage of themare really needy.
At theCollegeof Wooster, more
than three-quarters of students
get some kind of institutional aid,
said Scott Friedhoff, vice presi-
dent of enrollment and college re-
lations. One in five students
comes from a family with an in-
come of less than $40,000, he
said.
We will put together a finan-
cial-aid award that will make it
feasible for every student we ad-
mit, he said.
Those awards often are essen-
tial to attracting incoming fresh-
men, who are the bedrock of
many of the colleges enrollment
strategies.
These incoming students have
the potential to be enrolled for
four years or longer, bringing in
federal funds and loan money
alongthewayevenif theycontrib-
ute little out of pocket.
Colleges also get the chance to
shape the incoming class the way
they want it, luring students with
attributes in music or sports or
other special categories.
The students fill seats that
might otherwise go empty and
bolster enrollment. The right stu-
dents can help the college to im-
prove its performance in the all-
important national rankings that
almost all brag about on their
home page.
Mom and dad may be thrilled
that Junior can command dis-
counts of $10,000, $20,000,
$30,000 or more, and the luckiest
families may find themselves
picking among several offers.
Thats what happened to Em-
ma Dontis, the Firestone High
grad who weighed an attractive
offer from Wellesley College
against that of the College of
Wooster.
Dontis recalls that the private
womens college in Massachu-
setts offered her about $35,000 to
offset the $55,000 yearly bill.
Our students pay only what
they can afford nothing more,
the college says on its website.
Last year, the typical Wellesley
student received$38,400inloans,
work-study programs and grants.
Dontis, who is majoring in biol-
ogywithaneyetobecomingama-
rine biologist, selected Wooster
because she wanted a co-ed col-
lege and wanted to be closer to
her family in Akron.
Wooster offered an aid package
that is typical for a Wooster stu-
dent coming from a family with
similar financial resources as
Dontis, said Friedhoff of the fi-
nancial-aid office.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Wouldnt
it make sense if
grade school teach-
ers set aside time,
weekly or monthly,
to go over some very
generic informa-
tion that kids need
to learn? Im talking about things
like how important it is to have pets
neutered and why, how to manage
money, and show them what the av-
erage dad earns and what it costs to
run a household and support a family.
It might help kids to grow up under-
standing that money isnt free and get
them past the gimmes.
There are so many topics that
ought to be introduced to youngsters
at an early age how to groom
themselves properly, be exposed to a
variety of music genres, teach them
how grandparents can use help even
from small children. They could be
taught to be aware of their surround-
ings, to realize that foul language isnt
an attribute and why its important to
be pleasant.
There are so many topics. Ten min-
utes a week on different topics would
suffice. Why not?
Chaplin, Conn., Reader
Dear Reader: Why not? Because
teachers are so overwhelmed trying
to get their students to learn enough
basic curriculum to pass the state
mandated tests that they dont have
time!
Reading your letter I couldnt help
but wonder whose children you are
describing. All of the topics you
mentioned are things children should
learn from their parents. Where are
those parents? AWOL?
Dear Abby: Several years ago we
bought a used sofa at a garage sale. It
is now falling apart. A friend of mine
in the hotel business offered me an
almost new sofa bed from a room that
was being redecorated. It matches the
colors in our game room perfectly.
My wife said, You cant bring hotel
furniture into the house. Yuck!
Why cant our kids sleep on a hotel
bed in our house if our other house-
guests are using the kids rooms? We
would use our clean sheets, and they
sleep on the sofa beds in the hotels
we stay in. My wife will sleep in a ho-
tel bed that 100 percent of the guests
sleep in, but she doesnt want a bug-
free sofa bed that about 5 percent of
hotel guests have used in our home
for occasional use. Am I cheap, or am
I married to a clean freak?
Whos Been Sleeping in My Bed?
Dear Whos Been Sleeping: Not
knowing you better, I cant say
whether or not youre cheap. But your
wife should know that many people
buy used hotel furniture, and selling
it is big business. The sofa bed could
be cleaned and sanitized and the
mattress replaced. (Inquire about it
at any furniture store that sells sofa
beds.) But dont push your wife into
taking it or the person who winds up
sleeping on it could be you.
Abby shares more than 100 of her
favorite recipes in two booklets:

ARIES (March 21-April 19). No
matter how busy you get, your
creative whims are still impor-
tant. They connect you with your
heart. And now you could follow
your muse to personal rewards.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Its
a fine time to plot your next
professional move. Consider
putting ideals over income. This
will make you happy, and when
youre happy, youll either earn
more or do more with what you
earn.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Sometimes the show makes the
show, and sometimes the audi-
ence makes the show. Today
involves a team effort between
performer and onlooker, each
feeding a need for the other.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Procrastination only delays
the inevitable. Steel yourself,
and fulfill the obligation before
you. Your weekend starts the
moment you get it over with.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Its not just
you; the heat has been getting to
everyone. Dont let your temper
flare out of control in the face of
summertime frustration. Keeping
physically cool will help you keep
your mental cool.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Someone in your neighborhood
is in need of a helping hand, but
is too proud to ask. Keep your
awareness open. Youll sense the
silent need and offer a hand.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Too many
evenings out and on the run
have left you feeling frazzled.
Time to unplug, go to the gro-
cery store and prepare a good
home-cooked meal for yourself
and your loved ones.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your
talent extends beyond what
youre comfortable doing. Just
because youre not an expert
doesnt mean you wont do the
best job. If theres no harm in
trying, go for it!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
When old resentments surface,
you may wonder what its going
to take to make them go away
forever. Each time you forgive,
the hurt dissolves a little more.
Eventually, it will be gone.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Before you leap, aim at a soft
landing place. If you dont have
time to look for such a thing
before you leap, youll still
scramble to safety, but it wont
be graceful.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The
ones you look up to need you,
too. You dont understand the
full extent of it, and you may
not for many years, but you can
trust that your interactions mat-
ter immensely.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Comparing your relationships
will only drain your personal
power. The attachments you
form dont have to be like every-
one elses to be valid, meaningful
and just right for you.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Aug. 16).
Youll love and be loved. What
could be better? Matters of
responsibility lead to profes-
sional success. Whatever you
dislike, handle it first and get
it over with. Paradoxically, you
will reach Easy Street because
youre willing to do whats hard.
Aries and Scorpio people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 19,
3, 22, 48 and 6.
