Mike, were in court Tuesday, sur-
rounded by a number of family
and friends.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Wil-
liamHouser saidMaguireprovid-
ed significant and useful assist-
ancetoinvestigators inregards to
reliable and complete informa-
tion that led to the guilty pleas of
three other individuals.
Maguire pleaded guilty in Oc-
tober 2009 to accepting $1,400
from a contractor as payment for
a trip he took in January to Sani-
bel Island, Fla., on housing au-
thority business.
The trip, which was attended
by several other board members,
hadbeenapprovedby the author-
ity. But Maguire was reluctant to
seek reimbursement because of
the debit card scandal that had
hit the county in the prior year.
Investigators said Maguire and
Gerald Bonner decided to ask a
contractor with whom the au-
thority did business to pay for
part of the trip.
Bonner, acting on Maguires
behalf, approached the contrac-
tor and induced him to pay the
$1,400 basedonthe fact that Bon-
ner and Maguire had previously
supported the contractor in ob-
taining housing authority busi-
ness, including a more than
$10,000 contract that was award-
ed in the summer of 2008,
Houser said at the time of Ma-
guires plea. Bonner then passed
the money to Maguire.
Michael Pasonick has been
identified by attorney Michael
Butera, who represents Bonner,
as the person who made the pay-
ment.
Gelso said Bonners and Ma-
guires crimes were very similar,
andonly differedbecause Bonner
didnt accept responsibility ini-
tially.
Bonner pleaded guilty to
charges relating to the $1,400,
and was sentenced in April 2010
tothree months house arrest and
two years probation.
Caputo asked Gelso about the
similarity of Maguires case with
former county Deputy Chief
Clerk Bill Braces case, in which
Brace pleaded guilty to receiving
a $1,500 tailored suit in return for
supporting a contract for an un-
named company.
Gelso argued Maguires and
Braces cases are not similar be-
cause Brace was a county official
with more authority than Ma-
guire.
In May, Pasonick pleaded
guilty to bribing a local school
boardmember inhopes of obtain-
ing future contracts so that he
would not have to lay off employ-
ees. He is awaiting sentencing.

Copes husband, Dana, is a city police
officer, and Cope herself has taken the
test tobecomea policeofficer. Sheis cur-
rentlyranked13onthe citys civil service
list.
I took the police officers test in 2007
and again in 2010, Cope said. My cur-
rent ranking runs out in 2012 and then I
would have to take the test again.
Asked what she would do if her num-
ber came up for hire while she was may-
or, Cope said she really hadnt thought
about that.
First of all, I really dont think its go-
ing to, Cope said. The city would have
to hire 12 others first. And I dont think I
couldbemayor andhiremyself as acop.
Raup said she never considered run-
ning a write-in campaign after she lost
her bid for the Democratic nomination
to Leighton in May.
I wouldnt do that, Raup said. I
dont want to split the vote. I am abso-
lutely, 100 percentbacking Lisa Cope for
mayor. She can do the job.
Raup said the citys crime problem
continues to grow. She said having five
or six police officers on duty per shift is
not enough to adequately address the
problem. Raup has been at odds with
Leighton over the years, requesting a
city police officer attend all Crime
Watch meetings. The mayor refused, of-
fering to send an officer to one meeting
per month in each of the citys five dis-
tricts. Last year, the city designated one
police officer as a community liaison to
work with groups, including Crime
Watch.
People are afraid in their homes,
Raupsaid. Lisa Cope will be for the peo-
ple. Theres a huge disconnect between
the people and City Hall. People need to
forget about being Democrats and Re-
publicans and work together for the bet-
terment of the city.
Raup has been the citys Crime Watch
coordinator for more than 16 years. She
said she knows what is going on in the
streets.
Terry Casey, chairman of the Luzerne
County Republican Committee, said a
Cope victory would be huge for the
GOP.
The Republican Party again has a
great slate of candidates in many races
across the county, Casey said. In
Wilkes-Barre, we have council candi-
dates in all five districts and for controll-
er and mayor.
Casey said he has not met Cope, but
she has been in touch with 6th District
GOP leadership.
Our office is available to her for what-
ever help she needs, Casey said. Were
not campaign managers, but we will do
what we can for all Republican candi-
dates.
Cope said she will resume going door
todoor tocampaignandmeet voters and
learn about the issues they are con-
cerned about.
We still have a long way to go, but ev-
ery day I feel better about my chances,
Cope said.

of a home rule transition budget
subcommittee. The subcommit-
tee, which includes the three
commissioners, will attempt to
project savings and expenses as-
sociated with the new govern-
ment that takes effect in January.
The three sitting commission-
ers must adopt the 2012 budget
at the end of this year, but the
11-member council elected in
November will have the option
to amend it.
Petrilla told the subcommittee
that analysis on home rule staff-
ing additions and decreases
must be completed quickly be-
cause preparations for next
years budget have already start-
ed. Final 2012 budget requests
from all departments must be
submitted by August so they
may be finalized in September
for public budget hearings in Oc-
tober, she said.
All three commissioners have
already indicated that they dont
intend to raise taxes in their
2012 budget. This years $125.2
million budget kept property
taxes the same.
If Tuesdays budget subcom-
mittee meeting is any indication,
the home rule transition com-
mittee members will struggle to
guess which staff will be added
or eliminated by the new council
and a county manager who cant
be hired by council until Janu-
ary.
For example, Rob Bakewell,
who was appointed chairman of
the budget subcommittee, said
the 2012 budget may have to fac-
tor in pay for deputies in row of-
fices that are eliminated under
home rule. The deputies may
have to be employed after Jan. 2
to ensure work handled by those
offices is completed until res-
tructuring is executed, he said.
But Petrilla said the new gov-
ernment eliminates the deputy
positions by dissolving those
row offices. The deputies are
mandated by the state County
Code, which will no longer gov-
ern the county under home rule,
she said.
Home rule eliminates the
elected sheriff, treasurer, coro-
ner, recorder of deeds, register of
wills, two jury commissioners,
clerk of courts and prothonotary.
However, four of these row offi-
cers will remain in office and
continue to be paid until their
terms expire at the end of 2013:
Prothonotary Carolee Medico
Olenginski, Register of Wills Do-
rothy Stankovic and jury com-
missioners Bonnie L. Markowski
and Frank Semanski.

PHILADELPHIA
Denver archbishop to Philly
A
conservative Native American
archbishop was named Tuesday to
lead the troubled Roman Catholic
church in Philadelphia, and vowed to
work to heal the wounds of sex-abuse
victims, clergy and lay members alike.
Archbishop Charles
Chaput, 66, of Denver
takes over an arch-
diocese of nearly 1.5
million Catholics
thats been rocked by
school closings, a
dwindling supply of
priests and nuns, and
two grand jury reports
that accuse the church of hiding sex-
abuse complaints for decades.
Outgoing Archbishop Justin Rigali
will retire to Tennessee after eight
turbulent years leading the archdiocese.
The grand jury excoriated Rigali and
his predecessor, Anthony Bevilacqua,
finding they protected church interests
over those of victims.
Critics of Chaputs tenure in Colorado
complain that he fought hard to block
efforts to extend the time that child
sex-abuse victims have to file suit.
Chaput said Tuesday that he did so only
so that the church would be treated no
differently under the law than anyone
else.
JERUSALEM
Israel seizes protest boat
Israeli naval vessels on Tuesday
seized a French-flagged protest boat
carrying 16 pro-Palestinian passengers
as it attempted to break through Israels
blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Israeli officials said the takeover
occurred without the kind of violence
and bloodshed that erupted more than
a year ago, when nine Turkish activists
on a similar protest flotilla were shot
and killed by Israeli commandos who
came under attack by passengers as the
troops dropped onto the vessel from
military helicopters.
WASHINGTON
Free birth control advised
Millions of women may soon gain
free access to a broad menu of birth
control methods, thanks to a recom-
mendation issued Tuesday by health
experts advising the government.
An Institute of Medicine panel recom-
mended that the government require
health insurance companies to cover
birth control for women as a preventive
service, without copayments.
President Barack Obamas health care
law already requires most health plans
to provide standard preventive care for
people of both sexes at no additional
charge to patients.
SACRAMENTO, CALIF.
Molestation probe shocks
Parents reacted with disbelief Tues-
day after authorities shut down a pri-
vate elementary school in Northern
California over allegations of child
molestation.
Police said they were proceeding
cautiously with the investigation in-
volving Creative Frontiers School in the
Sacramento suburb of Citrus Heights.
The California Department of Social
Services shut down the school on Mon-
day after several former and current
students made allegations against
school owner and principal Robert
Adams that dated back 15 years. The
schools license was suspended.

N.J. medical marijuana on the way
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie an-
swers a question Tuesday in Trenton
after he announced he will allow the
state to begin dispensing medical
marijuana despite his concern over
whether federal authorities could
prosecute state regulators. New Jer-
sey legalized marijuana for patients
with certain conditions days before
Christie took office in January 2010,
but implementation has been delayed
as the state has labored over regu-
latory details.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A space
shuttle left the International Space Sta-
tion for the very last time Tuesday,
heading home to end the 30-year run of
a vessel that kept U.S. astronauts flying
to and from orbit longer than any other
rocketship.
Atlantis slipped away after perform-
ing a partial lap around the space sta-
tion. Ten pairs of eyes pressed against
the windows, four in the shuttle and six
in the station.
All that remains of NASAs final shut-
tle voyage is the touchdown, targeted
for the pre-dawn hours of Thursday
back home in Florida.
Get her home safely and enjoy the
last couple days in space shuttle Atlan-
tis, Mission Control told commander
Christopher Ferguson and his crew.
Replied Ferguson: Its been an in-
credible ride.
The voice emanating fromthe shuttle
Mission Control Center cracked with
emotion, as the lead teamof controllers
signed off for the very last time.
When you walk out the door of MCC
there, turn around and make a memo-
ry, urged Ferguson.
In keeping with tradition, Atlantis
departure was marked by the ringing of
the naval ships bell aboard the space
station. The undocking occurred nearly
250 miles above the Pacific.
Atlantis departing the International
Space Station for the last time, space
station astronaut Ronald Garan Jr. an-
nounced, ringing the bell three times.
Well miss you guys. Godspeed.As a fi-
nal salute, the space station rotated 90
degrees to provide never-before-seen
views of the complex. Atlantis flewhalf-
way around the outpost, cameras whir-
ring aboard both craft to record the his-
toric event.

vehicles, said City Council
Speaker Christine Quinn.
The city clerks office will con-
tinue expanded operations next

palled and ashamed at the hacking of
the phone of a murdered schoolgirl by his
now-shuttered News of the World tab-
loid.
But he quibbled with a suggestion that
criminality had been endemic at the tab-
loid and said he had seen no evidence
that victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror
attack and their relatives were targeted
by any of his papers.
LONDON Rupert Murdoch told
British lawmakers on Tuesday he was
not responsible for a phone hacking scan-
dal that has rocked his global empire, in a
dramatic hearing interrupted when a
protester tried to attack the media baron
with white foam.
Murdoch appeared by turns vague,
truculent, sharp and concise as he spoke
alongside his son and deputy, James, call-
ing the parliamentary inquiry the most
humble day of my career but refusing to
take personal blame for the crisis that
has swept from a tabloid newspaper
through the top levels of Britains police
and even to the prime ministers office.
Murdoch, 80, saidhe was shocked, ap-
Endemic is a very hard, a very wide
ranging word, Murdoch said. I also
have to be very careful not to prejudice
the course of justice that is taking place
now.
Murdoch said he was not responsible
for the hacking scandal, and denied his
company was guilty of willful blindness
over hacking.
He laid blame on the people I trusted
but they blame maybe the people that
they trusted.
After more than two hours of testimo-
ny, a man in a plaid shirt appeared to run
toward Murdoch with a pie plate full of
foam, before being struck by the execu-
tives wife, Wendi Deng. The foam hit
Murdochs suit jacket.
Police in the back of the committee
roomheld an apparently handcuffed man
with the foamcovering his face and shirt.
Media reports identified himas Jonnie
Marbles, a British comedian.
Police said he had been arrested on
suspicion of assault during a public meet-
ing.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla Neighbors
knewTyler Hadley as a polite and respect-
ful teen who played basketball with his fa-
ther in the driveway and built forts of
junked wood as a kid not as someone
whocouldkill his parents andthrowa par-
ty while their bodies lay tucked beneath
towels and other items in a locked bed-

The 17-year-old made
his first court appear-
anceTuesdayafterbeing
chargedinthe killings of
his parents, Blake and
Mary-Jo Hadley, whom
authorities say he blud-
geoned with a hammer
Saturday before hostinga party for dozens
of friends. Amotive remains unclear.
His politeness was baffling to TomBak-
kedahl, the prosecutor who later viewed
the bodies of Hadleys parents as they un-
derwent autopsies at the medical examin-
ers office.
His demeanor in court was not consis-
tent with what I sawat the autopsy, Bak-
kedahl said of the parents, whose heads
and torsos were maimed in the alleged at-
tack.

penalty if convictedbecause of his age.
Police saidHadleypostedwordonFace-

door was locked.

Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre.
Earlier Tuesday morning,
Moses Taylor Health Care Sys-
tem, which operates Moses
Taylor Hospital in Scranton,
Mid-Valley Hospital in Peck-
ville and Physicians Health Al-
liance Inc., announced that it
had entered into a sales agree-
ment with a subsidiary of
Community Health Systems
Inc., a for-profit Franklin,
Tenn.-based hospital operator.
The deals will need to go
through the regulatory approv-
al process, including antitrust
implications, because if the
merger and sale are approved
Scranton would have three
hospitals owned by two enti-
ties: Geisinger and CHS.
Thats precisely the situa-
tion in Wilkes-Barre where
Geisinger owns two hospitals
and CHS owns the third,
thanks to its $271 million pur-
chase of Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital in 2009.
Rivalry expanding
The two companies
will be competing in
the two largest cities
in Northeastern
Pennsylvania and Dr.
Glenn D. Steele Jr.,
president and chief
executive officer of
Geisinger Health Sys-
tem, said he cant
wait for the rivalry to
expand to Lackawan-
na County.
I love it, Steele
said.
Theyre going to be strong
competition for us we think
theres going to be choice for
patients and we look for-
ward to winning, Steele said.
He also noted, with a smile,
CHS will give us a run for our
money.
Money is something both or-
ganizations are spending in
Scranton to upgrade and mod-
ernize the hospitals.
As part of its proposed deal,
Geisinger has agreed to infuse
$158.6 million for capital pro-
jects into CMC. Among the
planned upgrades would be
new operating suites, improve-
ments to the intensive care
unit and the addition of an
electronic health records sys-
tem.
As part of its acquisition of
Moses Taylor Health System,
CHS has agreed to invest $60
million over five years in facil-
ity and technology upgrades.
Thats on top of the purchase
price, which was not released
Tuesday.
Earlier this year CHS pur-
chased Regional Hospital of
Scranton, formerly Mercy Hos-
pital, and affiliated facilities in
Nanticoke and Tunkhannock
for $150 million.
As a part of that deal, CHS
pledged to invest $68 million
in capital improvements at the
three hospitals.
With this agreement, we
will have the capital necessary
to invest in our staff, technol-
ogy and facilities, said Karen
Murphy, chief executive offi-
cer of Moses Taylor Health
Care System. As part of a
larger health care delivery sys-
tem, Moses Taylor, in concert
with Regional Hospital of
Scranton, will be able to ex-
pand services, develop new
services, recruit and re-
tain physicians, and en-
sure more convenient
access to quality health
care for the communi-
ty.
Moses Taylor and Re-
gional Hospital of
Scranton will each con-
tinue to offer health
care services on their
respective campuses
while the two hospitals
work collaboratively to
plan how they will de-
liver clinical services
for the future, accord-
ing to a release issued by Mos-
es Taylor.
As for the affiliation be-
tween Community Medical
Center, which would become
an affiliate of Geisinger, and
the two Geisinger hospitals in
Luzerne County, Steele said he
sees them being operated as
separate entities with over-
sight by Geisinger. There also
will be exploration into ways
to coordinate services, he said.
Improvements coming
Though the number of com-
petitors has shrunk, Steele
said the two remaining players
will make each hospital better,
and health care will improve
for local residents.
Ill go up against anybody.
CHS is terrific. Theyre good
people. Theyve got good val-
ues. Theyre hospital-centric.
And I think its good. We can
get our folks torqued up. We
cant just lay back. Weve really
got to work our tails off in or-
der to compete with them. I
think thats great, Steele said.
John Mellon, a business pro-
fessor at Misericordia Univer-
sity, said the consolidation of
smaller hospitals into bigger
systems is a positive.
The way to survive today is
partnerships. Businesses can-
not survive financially unless
youre part of a big conglomer-
ate. Strength in numbers, he
said.
He said patients should ben-
efit because costs can be kept
down, special services can be
performed within the system
and more doctors can be at-
tracted to the local hospitals
because there will be more fi-
nancial resources to pay them.
CMC President and Chief
Executive Officer Robert P.
Steigmeyer said he sees no
losses for the community, only
gains.
I think the dynamic of two
new competitors to the town
raises the bar and I believe all
boats rise for the citizens of
Northeast Pennsylvania, he
said.
Tuesdays announcement by
CMC and Geisinger followed
an aborted attempt at cooper-
ation two years ago.
Groundwork laid
In August 2009, CMC and
Geisinger signed a non-bind-
ing letter of intent to explore
possible ways to work togeth-
er, but four months later the
talks ended with no partner-
ship in place.
But the groundwork was
laid, according to Steigmeyer.
He said talks resumed in De-
cember and intensified this
spring. Though CMC could
certainly continue operating
independently and remain via-
ble, that wasnt how CMC
wanted to operate.
Are we stable? You bet,
said Steigmeyer. But he said
the health care landscape has
changed, and today its really
not about thriving. Its about
surviving.
One group that wasnt part
of any announcement Tuesday
but surely kept a close watch
on the news was Blue Cross of
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The Wilkes-Barre-based
health insurer issued a state-
ment Tuesday regarding the
two announcements.
Both CMC and MTHCS are
important community assets.
We look forward to learning
more about Geisingers and
CHSs plans for CMC and
MTHCS, respectively, and for
improving health care access
for patients in the Scranton
market.
Anthony Matrisciano, a Blue
Cross spokesman, said that its
too early tell what, if any, im-
pact the deals would have on
the insurer.
We have relationships with
both CHS and Geisinger, so its
not like a new player is coming
in, Matrisciano said.
Nurses weigh in
Another group that will keep
a watchful eye on the proceed-
ings is the Pennsylvania Asso-
ciation of Staff Nurses & Allied
Professionals, the union repre-
senting nurses at CMC. The
union and the hospital signed
a 2-year deal in November,
and Steele said that contract
will be honored.
As nurses, we would wel-
come a merger with Geisinger
if it means that more resources
can be brought to the bedside,
to better care for our patients,
said Roben Schwartz, a regis-
tered nurse and president of
the local nurses union affiliat-
ed with PASNAP. While cap-
ital improvements and elec-
tronic records play a role in pa-
tient care, what our patients
need is a skilled nurse at their
bedside. Such resources
should also be used to have a
sufficient number of nurses to
provide the quality care our
patients deserve.
All 1,400 employees of CMC
will keep their jobs, said
Steele, who added he hopes to
add 5 percent to the workforce
over the next few years.
Within the Moses Taylor
Health Care System, positions
for all 1,600 employees are not
guaranteed.
According to the Moses Tay-
lor release, Active employees
in good standing at the time
the transaction closes will be
hired into their same posi-
tions, at the same rate of pay
and with their seniority recog-
nized for a minimum of one
year post-closing. Its unclear
what would happen after that.
The state Department of
Health and Department of
State will investigate the two
deals and must sign off on
them to be approved. Since
both Moses Taylor and CMC
are not-for-profit entities, the
state must be sure that there
are no antitrust issues and that
the hospitals donations and
charitable assets are protect-
ed.

NANTICOKE A city couple
was charged this weekend after
an argument that began over
spilled cereal.
City police said Jason Slater,
27, andLauraRasmus, 23, bothof
East ChurchStreet, were charged
with harassment and simple as-
sault after police responded to
their home late Saturday for the
report of an assault.
Slater and Rasmus were ar-
raigned on the charges Sunday
morning and were released on
their own recognizance.
A preliminary hearing for the
duo has tentatively been sched-
uled for July 26 before District
Judge Donald Whittaker.
According to court papers, at
around 11:45 p.m. Sunday police
were called to the East Church
Street home for the report of a
man who was assaulted.
Slater told police he was as-
saultedby his girlfriend, Rasmus,
and that he had been laying on
the couch with a bowl of cereal.
While laying on the couch,
Slater said, he begantofall asleep
and spilled a little cereal on the
floor.
Rasmus, Slater said, told him
she hated when he did that and
began to punch, slap and kick
Slater.
Slater said he tried to get Ras-
mus to stop hitting him, but she
grabbed a decorative cross from
the wall and began to strike Slat-
er with it.
Slater said he began to cry and
left the home.
Police later spoke with Ras-
mus, who said she told Slater to
stop dozing off on the couch re-
peatedly and then tried to kick
Slater out of the house.
Rasmus said Slater is the one
who grabbed the cross of the
wall, and hit her on the back with
it.

HANOVER TWP. Lori Fe-
dor put a tearful face to the
steep cuts in school district
budgets Monday during a Ha-
nover Area School Board work
session.
I just dont understand how
you went about choosing who
got laid off, Fedor said, chok-
ing back tears. I love these
kids.
Fedor and several other part-
time classroom aides attended
the meeting, holding up letters
they received notifying them
they were losing their jobs. Fe-
dor said she has worked in the
district for seven years, and that
other aides with less seniority
had retained their jobs.
Superintendent Anthony
Podczasy said the decisions on
which aides were laid off was
made by Steven Greenfield, dis-
trict director of pupil services/
special education, and that he
did not know the details of
Greenfields decision, though
apparently all classroom aides
were laid off while personal
aides assigned to individual
students were retained. Green-
field is on vacation this week.
Fedor said that, had someone
contacted her, she would read-
ily have changed job titles to
keep working. I would become
a personal aide, she said.
Fedor and Deb Bath, a class-
room aide who also lost her po-
sition, said they worked hard to
get and keep their jobs, attend-
ing college and earning state
certifications for part-time posts
offering only 25 hours of work
per week. They warned that
learning support students wont
get the help they need, especial-
ly as class sizes grow, thanks to
the closing of Lyndwood Ele-
mentary School and the deci-
sion not to replace some retir-
ing teachers.
They also said eliminating
the classroom aide positions
could put the district at risk of
failing to fulfill mandatory In-
dividual Education Plans
drawn up for each special edu-
cation student
Podczasy said the district
would bring back any needed
aides, but also said the IEP re-
quirements can be fulfilled
through the personal aides as-
signed to students.
Layoffs in Hanover Area, as
in other Luzerne County dis-
tricts, were prompted by major
shortfalls as they crafted bud-
gets for 2011-2012 after Gov.
Tom Corbetts deep cuts in
state aid. When Hanover drew
up a preliminary budget at the
start of the year, it had nearly
$3.5 million more in spending
than income. By the time the
final budget was passed in June,
total spending was $1.2 million
less than last year.
Along with closing Lynd-
wood and cutting classroom
aides, savings were made by
eliminating two assistant ele-
mentary school principal posi-
tions, two high school profes-
sional employee positions and
seventh- and eighth-grade
sports. Teachers agreed to a pay
freeze and there were reduc-
tions in coach salaries, sports,
school supplies and field trips.

KINGSTON The Wyoming
Valley West School Board ap-
proved a $174,740 contract to re-
pair the flood-damaged high
school gym floor during an
emergency meeting Tuesday
morning.
The contract was awarded to
Miller Flooring, based in West
Chester. The work will be cov-
ered by insurance, Superintend-
ent Chuck Suppon said.
The floor was ruined after a
July 3 deluge sent water cascad-
ing down the mountain into Ply-
mouth with such force it moved
boulders and tumbled a truck
onto its roof. Estimates pegged
the rate of rainfall at as much as
4 inches in 45 minutes.
The high school was spared
such dramatic damage, but wa-
ter got into the gym and
through the top flooring, set-
tling in a gap under the boards
and forcing them to buckle.
In order to get repairs finished
in time for the start of fall
sports, the district got the OK
from the state to treat the repair
as an emergency, allowing the
board to bypass state laws re-
quiring a district to advertise for
sealed bids for any project ex-
ceeding $10,000.
The board convened Tues-
days meeting for the sole pur-
pose of approving the contract
so the work can get under way
quickly.
Suppon said the work in-
cludes installation of fans de-
signed to keep the space imme-
diately under the floorboards
dry. The fans will be connected
to humidity sensors.
If moisture rises above a cer-
tain level, the fans will turn on
to keep the plywood underneath
the playing surface dry. Suppon
said the fan system only added
a few thousand dollars to the
total cost.
The board is considering oth-
er repair and improvement
work, particularly on a retaining
wall behind the high school that
was damaged by the flood wa-
ters. The damage poses no im-
mediate threat to an adjacent
parking area.
Repairs could approach $1
million.
And the board is mulling the
idea of installing a sump pump
system in the school, Suppon
said.
The system would automati-
cally kick in and pump water out
of the building if it started over-
whelming passive drainage sys-
tems.
The board has not made a de-
cision on that option.

FUNERALS
G
eorge L. Spangenberg, 75, a
lifelong resident of Jefferson
Township, died unexpectedly
Saturday morning, July 16, 2011,
at home. His wife of 51 years
was the former Loretta J. Comp-
ton, who died July 1, 2007.
Born in South Canaan, he was
a son of the late Virgil Coe and
Vesta Garnet Stevens Spangen-
berg. He was educated in Lake
Ariel schools. George and his fa-
ther built and operated the Lake
Spangenberg development, Lake
Spangenberg Water Co., the live
bait business, and the stone
quarries. After he became sole
owner, he built the Lake Loretta
development, which he named
after his wife. He was a lifetime
member of the Hamlin Assemb-
ly of God Church and a member
of the Jefferson Township Se-
nior Citizen Center.
George was a loving father,
grandfather and great-grandfa-
ther who was very proud of his
family. He always served God
first and was referred to as a
family man. He enjoyed being
outdoors and loved working his
water company and his proper-
ty, but he would never work on a
Sunday unless it was a dire
emergency. He enjoyed fishing,
especially for catfish, with his
family. He will be deeply missed
by all who knew and loved him.

with the generous support of family
and friends, and with the profes-
sional and most competent care of
nurses and aides from Community
Hospice of Columbia-Greene, Jan-
ice was able to remain at home until
the end was near.
Many in the Greenville-Westerlo,
N.Y., area will remember Janice as a
competent Realtor, as Mrs. Claus
during the Christmas season, as a
happy clown and doting grand-
mother, and a presenter at Old
Timers get-togethers over the years.
Many will also remember Janice
for her active involvement with the
United Methodist Church of Green-
ville & Norton Hill. She served as a
Lay Leader, a member of the Caring
Team, the Hospital Calling Team,
the Monday MorningPrayer Group,
the Administrative Board, and the
ProgramCouncil. Janice was a Sun-
day School teacher, a lay reader, and
a member of the choir.
Janice was preceded in death by
her son Paul Pickett; and her par-
ents, Harry and Lucy Pahler Sabat-
ura.

band, Fred Pickett; son Eric (Lori)
Pickett of South Westerlo, N.Y.;

NY 12083; or to Community Hos-
pice of Columbia-Greene, 47 Liber-
ty St., Catskill, NY12414.
Hooray for Hospice! Among the
nurses and aides who made a som-
ber period of time flow as gently as
possible were Maggie, Adessa,
Agnes, Georgia, Jane, Jenny and
Kelly. Thank you to Dr. Frank Fera,
who guided Janice through a maze
of difficulties over the years, and a
most special thanks to Dr. Daniel
Kredentser, whose care and counsel
during two episodes of ovarian can-
cer were invaluable, and who was at
her side the day she died.
Those who visitedduring the last
few months will have vivid memo-
ries of Tico, a pint-sized Chihuahua,
who became Janices constant com-
panion and protector. Woe to any-
one who dared to approach too
closely! The Rev. Thomas Carney
can attest to this.
Finally, to dear cousin Eileen and
husband Louis Conte, who shared a
lifetime of joys and sorrows with
Janice, and who were in her
thoughts to the end, thanks for a
thousandth time.

ningham Funeral Homes Inc.,

"OPC Factor has
helped lower my glucose
levels. I sleep better and
have more energy and
better circulation, says
Charles Leavitt of
Louisiana.
Excess sugar in your
blood causes oxidation
and inflammation which is
a contributing factor to
slow sticky blood. Addi-
tionally, cellular damage
leads to eye, kidney,
nerve, heart, and blood
vessel damage. OPC
Factor greatly improves
blood circulation which
promotes faster blood
flow; crucial for diabetics,
states Dr. Vagnini.
No More Horse
Pills to Swallow!
Pills and tablets have
absorption rates as low as
2 to 20 percent, says Dr.
Vagnini.
OPC Factor is the
first 100% organic formula
powered by a revolution-
ary, high-speed Isotonic
liquid delivery system. It
mimics the bodys pH;
having the same pH levels
as blood and tears, the
nutrients readily absorb at
amazing rate of 97%!
Results in Minutes!
Actual blood scans
taken twenty minutes
apart show how OPC
Factor virtually flushes
away free radicals, ex-
cess cholesterol crystals
and sugar molecules in
the bloodstream.
What part of your
diabetes would you like to
see go away? Are you
plagued by weight gain
and food cravings, high
and low blood sugar
levels, mood swings, low
energy and constant
fatigue, poor circulation,
vision problems, frequent
pain or aggravating bouts
of brain fog or memory
lapses?
There is good news
and it comes in the form of
a fizzy, drink called OPC
Factor, which quickly
revitalizes your entire
body and mind!
Better Blood Sugar
The miracle equals a
powerful blend of all
natural super antioxidants
called oligomeric proan-
thocyanadins, or OPCs,
including powerhouses
like grape seed, green
tea, pine bark, and red
wine extracts, along with
lemon bioflavonoids,
resveratrol, and 23 natu-
rally occurring vitamins
and enzymes.
H e a r t
s u r g e o n
and
M e d i c a l
Director of
the Heart,
Di abet es,
and Weight
Loss Centers of New
York, Dr. Fred Vagnini,
MD, FACS confirms that
Antioxidant therapy may
slow down the progress of
pre-Diabetes.
This product has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. It is not intended to cure, treat or prevent any disease or illness. Individual results will vary.
Heart Surgeon Hails Breakthrough Antioxidant
Diabetic Drink As A Miracle!
Naturally improves blood sugar, cholesterol, circulation, energy and more in as little as 2 weeks!
After 2 weeks my blood sugar went from 180 to 112 and stayed there!
I started taking OPC Factor and approximately a week after, I went back and had my blood checked. My
blood sugar had dropped from about a 180 down to a 112. I had been having back problems and it seemed to
resolve that. I like the taste. The taste is very pleasant. It has helped my overall health. The thing that I've
noticed the most is the lack of back pain. I've just felt good this past year. rejoices Doyle Allen, ID.
Unhealthy Blood Before Healthy Blood After
Washes away blood sludge by eliminating toxins,
free radicals, and even parasites!
They hitch a ride in your
blood stream and are
transported into your brain
where they create havoc.
The free radicals affect
your brain health by
oxidizing the fatty tissue.
remarks Dr. Vagnini.
The result of these
OPCs penetrating the
blood brain barrier and
quenching the free
radicals is quite astound-
ing. Its possible that after
just one week of drinking
OPC Factor
TM
youll feel
more awake and mentally
energized. Youll experi-
ence sharper thinking and
improved concentration.
My doctor said, "I don't
know what you're doing,
but keep doing it." says
Teresa Wood, from WA.
National Health
Institute Proves It!
I can feel it when I
drink it. It gives a lot of en-
ergy. says Ken Murdock.
A National Institute of
Health funded Double
Blind clinical study pub-
lished in July, 2008,
supports customer claims
about energy. For diabet-
ics, energy equals better
sleep, moods, and overall
balance.
Studies have found that
free radicals produce
oxidation that disrupts
insulin sensitivity.
OPC Factor
TM
works 20-
50 times better than tradi-
tional antioxidants against
oxidation. OPCs enhance
insulins ability to lower
blood sugar.
David Payne, a diabetic
from Texas, echoes this,
"Since taking OPC Factor,
my blood sugar is easier
to manage. It boosted my
immune system and even
helped my cholesterol."
Goodbye Brain Fog!
A surprising benefit of
the OPC Factor
TM
formula
is the mental clarity and
energy many users expe-
rience after just a few
days. Why?
The brain is over 90%
fat making it a perfect
place for nasty free radi-
cals to hide.

PRINGLE The West Side Ca-
reer & Technology Center will
open for the school year with no
sports, no recruitment program
and no in-school suspension
monitor, but it will at least open,
if the latest versionof the schools
final budget is approved.
The schools joint operating
committee voted13-2 Tuesday to
pass the $6.08 million spending
plan that saves the school
$191,598 by suspending the
schools sports programs, elimi-
nating the 2-year-old recruiting
program and redistributing the
duties of the in-school suspen-
sion monitor to other staff. The
sports and recruiting programs
had been sticking points in previ-
ous attempts to pass a budget
when the schools entire operat-
ing board was convened last
weekfor the first time indecades.
The budget will nowbe sent by
ballot to the full operating board.
The committee voted to send it
by certified mail and require a re-
ply by July 26.
The joint operating committee
is composed of three members
from each of the Dallas, Lake-
Lehman, Wyoming Valley West,
Northwest Area and Wyoming
Area school boards. The joint op-
erating board is made up of all
nine directors from each of those
districts, all of which send stu-
dents to the tech school.
Joint operating committee
members said the new budget
represented an effort at compro-
mise that was necessary because
without it, the school cant legal-
ly spend money and would be
forced to close.
I love sports also, but were in
a situation here. We have to pass
this budget, said committee
President Butch Rossi, adding
that he thinks eliminating the
recruiting program is a mistake.
But getting this budget passed
so the kids are ready for the
school year is the most important
thing.
Calling it a suspension of the
sports program instead of an
elimination of the five tech
school sports means that the
board will re-evaluate sports in
February 2012 and consider add-
ing them back if the funding sit-
uation permits, even as soon as
the spring, Rossi said.
With sports at the school sus-
pended, tech school students are
eligible to go out for the teams in
their sending districts, though
committee members noted that
not all would make the teams.
Wyoming Valley West represen-
tative Gordon Dussinger urged
his colleagues to ask their coach-
es and athletic directors to make
every effort to include the tech
athletes, while Dallas representa-
tive Karen Kile asked that the
tech schools athletic director
work up a plan for intramural
games for students who either
dont want to play for their home
district or dont make the team.
The change also has implica-
tions for the home districts,
where the change in the popula-
tion of student athletes could
change the schools Pennsylvania
Interscholastic Athletic Associ-
ation division. While the matter
wasnt discussed at the meeting,
officials from at least one district
said they anticipate their sports
program will be affected.
Wyoming Area Superintend-
ent Ray Bernardi and directors
John Bolin, Dave Alberigi and
John Marianacci said after the
meeting that they expect their
school will move from the AA to
the AAA division after the PIAA
checks the student population in
the near future. They said there
are pros and cons to that realign-
ment.

Writer urges opposition
to metering stations
F
riends, you might not live in Dallas
Township, but most of you know others
who do. For a year now, the Gas Drill-
ing Awareness Coalition has sought to
educate the public about the many dangers
associated with the natural gas industry.
This week, the parents and taxpayers of
Dallas Township will once again face off
with Chief Gathering concerning one (or
more) metering stations being proposed
within 1,100 feet of the Dallas School Dis-
trict campus.
Do your children, grandchildren, niec-
es or nephews attend Dallas schools?
Do you, or does a loved one, work at
or live near the campus?
Do you own property in the Greater
Back Mountain?
I was born and raised here. My son at-
tends school here. My husband and I built
our home on a beautiful property that my
parents scraped to pay for many years ago.
It was their dream that I would raise my
family here; and it is my dream for my son
to raise his family here one day. I will not
knowingly put him in harms way.
Disturbing a 53-plus-year-old pipeline so
near a school campus with up to four new
connections is a catastrophe waiting to
happen. If there is an accident, our first
responders and our hospitals are not pre-
pared.
I plan to attend both Dallas Township
zoning hearings this week: at 6:30 p.m.
today and Thursday in the Dallas Middle
School auditorium.
I plan to stand shoulder to shoulder with
my neighbors and fight for our way of life.
Please join me.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 2011 PAGE 11A
OUR COUNTRY is facing a
crisis and its not only
about our $14.5 trillion
national debt, a record-high
national deficit or the im-
passe over the looming debt
ceiling situation.
We are without a true leader in the White
House at a time when we need one most,
and that deficiency is overshadowing all
others.
Republicans and Democrats will not be
able to work together, make difficult deci-
sions and lead our nation out of this financial
abyss until we have a president who is will-
ing to remove the ideological sunglasses and
view the situation realistically.
Fourteen million people are out of work.
Those fortunate enough to have jobs fear
they are one bad economic forecast away
from the unemployment line. Small business,
which has created 64 percent of all new jobs
in the last 15 years, is stymied by the threat
of higher taxes and increased government
regulations, spending and debt.
President Obama believes raising the debt
ceiling without substantial cuts in govern-
ment spending is the way to go. History has
proven otherwise.
The $800 billion stimulus did not create
jobs, did not convey a sense of financial secu-
rity for the middle class, nor provide an
impetus for small business to invest and
expand. A bloated federal government
squeezes out private investment. Tax in-
creases thwart business expansion, stifle job
creation and lead to deeper cuts in employ-
ment.
Its time for the president to put reality
before his vision of what a perfect society
should look like. We need a leader who has
the courage to make difficult, but necessary,
decisions, the maturity to embrace his cir-
cumstances and the humility to accept real-
ity and stop clinging to a cherished ideology.
We need a leader who will allay the wor-
ries of our most vulnerable: senior citizens
and the disabled who survive on Social Secu-
rity, and the members of our military. In-
stead, he has preyed upon their fears, using
them as pawns in his Chicago-style, game of
politics.
This is unacceptable and disappointing.
It is sad that President Obama, who rode
the mantra of hope and change to the Oval
Office, offers neither at this critical cross-
roads. He conveys a sense of hopelessness
and fear, and stubbornly refuses to change
his direction to meet the needs of the nation.
A true leader does not walk away from his
responsibilities when the going gets tough. A
true leader does not try to get his way by
scaring people. A true leader does not insult
citizens by acting as though they are not
smart enough to understand the situation.
The truth is, the average American under-
stands the severity of our economic situation
all too well.
Many of my constituents in the 10th Dis-
trict wake up every morning and make the
difficult decisions about what expenditures
to cut from the family budget. Its not easy to
tell your child that you cant afford to go to
an amusement park this summer or to buy a
new backpack for school, or to ask your
teenager to choose a less expensive college.
Because they are making these tough choic-
es, we owe it to them to do the same in
Washington.
President Obama made it obvious that he
demands compromise while offering none.
He insists on tax increases and when he
didnt get his way during last weeks talks, he
left the room, the childhood equivalent of
taking your ball and going home.
To many observers, this gridlock might
appear to be the result of a clash of two polit-
ical viewpoints. It might have started out
that way. But the severity of our economic
crisis has surpassed philosophical differ-
ences. It now comes down to pragmatism
versus idealism.
When we are in a state of prosperity, we
have the luxury of basing governmental
decisions on ideology: Expand government
programs or downsize; increases taxes or
reduce them.
But, our national debt is the equivalent of
$45,000 per person or $127,500 per taxpayer.
There is no room for ideology. Regardless of
our viewpoints, our future and that of our
children and grandchildren is in jeopardy
unless we all put aside our political aspira-
tions and get down to work in Washington.
The fiscal crisis could turn catastrophic if
we do not cut spending, reduce the size and
scope of Washington, and keep taxes low.
Raising the debt ceiling is inevitable. Rais-
ing the debt ceiling without comparable
spending cuts and a balanced budget amend-
ment is irresponsible.
President Obama is correct when he states
that he did not lead us into this financial
mire. But he is our leader and the American
people need him to start acting like one. He
promised hope and change, and Americans
are desperately seeking both right now.

COMMENTARY
U . S . R E P . T O M M A R I N O
It is sad that President Obama, who rode
the mantra of hope and change to the Oval
Office, offers neither at this
critical crossroads.
F
OR TWO YEARS, Tal-
isman Terry, the
friendly Fracosau-
rus, had it made in
the natural gas shade. As the
cartoon mascot of Canadian-
based energy company Talis-
man Energy, Terry starred in a
24-page childrens coloring
book extolling the benefits of
hydraulic fracturing.
His optimistic demeanor and
laid-back attitude made him
the perfect spokes-critter for
the controversial extraction
process.
It was kiddie propaganda in
the worst sense of the word.
But like all bad ideas, someone
thought it was a good idea at
thetime. Whenwordfinallygot
out that Talisman Energy was
using a coloring book to per-
suade kids that drilling in the
Marcellus Shale formation was
smart, safe and American,
critics of fracking pounced.
Comedy Centrals Stephen
Colbert mocked the coloring
book ina segment onThe Col-
bert Report.
Talisman Energy was not
amused. The company quickly
pulled the book from circula-
tion and killed the download
link on its home page.
Whatever ones opinions
about themerits of fracking, we
should all agree that attempt-
ing to brainwash kids into sid-
ing with the industry is a bad
idea deserving of ridicule.

about Moon Lake
Park Luzerne
Countys infinitely promising
yet partly closed and potentially
endangered piece of paradise.
You and other area residents
can supply suggestions on what
to do with the outdoor recre-
ational spot during an evening
meeting on July 28. Organizers
of the public session in Wilkes-
Barre intend to draw up a mas-
ter plan for the parks use, per-
haps the first such blueprint
since the place officially opened
40 years ago.
The parks double Olympic-
sized pool and its campground
have beenidle for one-and-a-half
summer seasons, the result of
Luzerne Countys budget quan-
dary. Officials closed the entire
parkinJanuary2010, thenopted
a few months later to allow vis-
itors back in, albeit on a limited-
use basis: No overnight camp-
ing. No swimming. No boat
rentals.
Vandals reportedly have tar-
geted its environmental center
since then, stealing copper wir-
ing. No doubt, other park amen-
ities, such as an empty lakeside
house, have falleninto disrepair,
too.
Its a sorry state of affairs for
what shouldbeafirst-raterefuge
for area families seeking relief
this July from fast-paced living
and sweltering temperatures.
TheparkinPlymouthTownship
features a 48-acre lake, sur-
rounded by some 600 acres of
woodlands and fields. Moon
Lake Park is secluded. Serene.
Special.
Now a revival movement, of
sorts, might be under way to re-
store its facilities, boost its vis-
itation and ensure its mainte-
nance. First, a master plan must
be completed so that the park
canviefor stategrantsandother

Thats a stark reversal from
only a few years ago, when a
panicked commissioner trio in
search of new revenue sources
seemed prepared to lease the
parks landfor natural gas explo-
rationandallowlakewater tobe
siphoned for drilling.
Granted, some people still
consider MoonLake a boondog-
gle an unnecessary use of tax-
payers money. They, too,
should speak out.
Sell its landtothehighest bid-
der, or donateit tothestatepark
system. Or, perhaps, conserve
its pristine beauty and play it up
as a bird-watching destination.
Or maybe develop trails for in-
creased mountain biking. Part-
ner witha colleges environmen-
tal studies program and use it
for science. Scout camp?
Theseas well as your ideas

tion.
But most everyone probably
can agree on one thing: Moon

its current status, nearly forgot-
ten and slowly falling to pieces.

and other leaders back to the White
House for meetings in coming days.
Obama, Boehner and other top lead-
ers met last week for five days straight
without reaching agreement, leading to
warnings from credit agencies about
dire consequences if the U.S. defaults on
its obligations for the first time, render-
ing it unable to pay its bills.
Obama added his own warning Tues-
day, saying that while financial markets
have shown confidence thus far in Wash-
ington, it wont last much longer if law-
makers fail to act.
But he found cause for optimism in
the announcement Tuesday by leaders
of a bipartisan Gang of Six senators
that theyre nearing agreement on a ma-
jor plantocut thedeficit bymorethan$4
trillion over the coming decade.
I think its a very significant step,
Obama said, calling it broadly consis-
tent with the approach Ive urged.
The Gang of Six plan calls for an im-
mediate $500 billion down payment
on cutting the deficit as the starting
point toward cuts of more than $4 tril-
lion that would be finalized in a second
piece of legislation. It would raise reve-
nues by about $1 trillion over 10 years
and cut popular benefit programs like
Medicare and Medicaid dealing out
political pain to Republicans and Demo-
crats.
That mixture of cuts and newrevenue
is the balanced approach Obama has
urged, though its rejected by many Re-
publicans because it would require high-
er taxes for some.
Rep. Dave Camp, Republican chair-
manof the House Ways andMeans Com-
mittee, said the spending cuts and bud-
get mechanisms in the plan could form
the basis of a deal but tax increases
would be a big problem for him and fel-
low GOP lawmakers.
A trillion dollars is a lot, by any mea-
sure, Camp said of the tax increases in
the plan.
While praising the broader plan, Oba-
ma said it was still important to have a
Plan B option being worked on by Sen-
ate Majority Leader Harry ReidandSen-
ate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
as a fallback. The McConnell-Reid plan
wouldgiveObama theabilitytoraisethe
debt limit by $2.5 trillion in three install-
ments over the next year without a sep-
arate vote by lawmakers. Instead, a pan-
el of House and Senate members would
be created to recommend cuts in benefit
programs, with their work guaranteed a
yes-or-no vote in the House or Senate.
While all that was going onbehindthe
scenes, advocates of the cut, cap and
balance legislation said it would cut
spending by an estimated $111 billion in
the next budget year and then by more
than an additional $6 trillion over a dec-
ade and require Congress to send a
balancedbudget amendment totheCon-
stitution to the states for ratification
in exchange for raising the debt limit by
$2.4 trillion.
With the measure facing a veto threat
from the White House, Boehner said he
was exploring other alternatives to
avoid government default.
I do think its responsible for us to
look at what Plan B would look like, he
saidat a news conference a fewhours be-
fore the opening of debate on the legisla-
tion backed by conservative lawmakers.
Said Obama: The problem we have
now is, were in the 11th hour, and we
dont have a lot more time left.
Ona day of political theater, a groupof
House Republicans also boarded a bus
for a 16-block ride to deliver a letter ask-
ing Obama to disclose his own plan for
reducing federal deficits.
No administration officials met the
delegation when the bus rolled up to the
White House gates, and lawmakers gave
copies of the letter to reporters.

WASHINGTON Republican
Reps. Lou Barletta and Tom Ma-
rino say voting for the House
GOPs cut, cap and balance
plan to lower the nations debt is
what they came to Congress to
do.
The freshmen lawmakers dis-
miss the suggestion that they
cast merely symbolic votes for
the bill making large cuts to fed-
eral programs, capping future
spending at a percentage of the
gross domestic product and rais-
ing the $14.3 trillion debt limit in
exchange for a balanced budget
amendment that would make it
difficult to pass any tax increas-
es.
The House approved the bill
Tuesday night 234-190, largely
along party lines, but the mea-
sure appears dead in the Senate,
which is working on several bi-
partisan compromise debt ceil-
ing plans.
Nothing is symbolic for me. I
know why I am here, said Mari-
no, R-Lycoming Township, in an
interview outside the House
chamber.
The voters sent me here to
cut down the size of government,
stop the spending, keep taxes
lowand to create jobs, and that is
why I am voting the way I am
voting on this.
Asked about whether he even-
tually would vote for a compro-
mise plan hatched in the Senate,
Marino said that, As far as what
is going to happen in the future, I
am not ready to make any con-
cessions or decisions on how I
am going to vote on a Senate
proposal.
If we continue to work hard at
balancing this budget, cutting
the costs, and working on this
deficit, we will get it accom-
plished.
Barletta, R-Hazleton, struck a
similar note in an interview out-
side the House chamber Tues-
day.
The cut cap and balance is
what I came to Congress for,
Barletta said.
Eighty percent of the Ameri-
can people want us to balance
the budget. When we talk about
taking care of our children and
grandchildren, this is what will
do it, he said.
Barletta said he is against a
plan being worked on by Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-
Nev., and Senate Minority Lead-
er Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
which would allow the president
to raise the debt ceiling in incre-
ments in exchange for spending
cuts, though at $1.5 trillion con-
siderably lower than the trillions
of dollars that would be cut un-
der the House GOP proposal.
I dont like the McConnell-
Reid plan, Barletta said. I equa-
te it to when we were small and
we played hot potato. Were just
passing it to someone else. We
came here to fix Americas prob-
lems and passing a balanced bud-
get is how we make sure we nev-
er do this again.

An autopsy performed Monday deter-
mined Madry died of multiple traumatic
injuries, Chief Deputy Coroner William
Lisman said.
The coroner ruled the
death a homicide, Lisman
said.
Musto Carroll said police
are investigating whether
Madry and the driver were
at an underage drinking
party prior to the crash. Au-
thorities have not yet deter-
mined if charges will be fil-
ed against the driver pend-
ing the results of an acci-
dent reconstruction report
and toxicology tests, she
said.
Its a tragedy when we
have a young person die in
a motor vehicle accident involving alco-
hol, Musto Carroll said. We see this all
too often. We try to educate kids the best
we can, but its inevitable we have car acci-
dents. Its a hard lesson to learn.
The crash occurred on a secluded section
of Lake Road, which turns to a dirt road
leading to Fountain Lake. With the excep-
tion of shattered glass embedded in gravel,
little evidence of the crash remained at the
crash site Tuesday.
Madry was an honors student at Crest-
wood, where he played lacrosse. He was set
to enter his senior year in the fall.
Sally Shipierski, a parent who was pick-
ing her children up from a field hockey
camp at the high school Tuesday, said she
was shocked by Madrys death.
I dont have the words to describe it. Its
surreal, said Shipierski, of Rice Township.

pened.

Principal Chris Gegaris
said the school had not
set up any grief counsel-
ing sessions as of Tuesday
afternoon, but was pre-
pared to provide support
for any student who seeks
it.
We are prepared to
deal with the situation if a
student should call and
need help, he said.
Andrew Brodginski, a
classmate of Madrys, has set up a page on
the social networking site Facebook in
memory of Madry, R.I.P Brian Madry.
Brodginski announced on the page that a
memorial service for Madry will be held
today from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Wright Town-
ship Park. Anyone who knew Madry is
asked to attend the service to sign a book
and write about any memories they have of
him. The book will then be presented to his
parents prior to his viewing.

DALLAS TWP. The town-
ship solicitor announced Tues-
day ongoing negotiations with
Williams Field Services LLC, a
company proposing to con-
struct part of a natural gas pipe-
line and a metering station
within the township, have come
to an impasse.
Solicitor Thomas Brennan
said negotiations with the com-
pany to agree upon zoning and
land development issues con-
cerning parts of the 33 -mile
Springville Gathering Line,
which would transport gas from
wells in Susquehanna County to
the Transco interstate pipeline
near the Dallas School District
campus, havent happened.
He said the company plans to
file a petition with the zoning
hearing board in protest against
the townships requirements for
zoning and land development
pertaining to pipelines.
Its a process you go
through, said Brennan. It is
conceivable the impasse could
be broken, but Im not optimis-
tic at this point.
Township Engineer Thomas
Doughton said the company is
still pursuing its ongoing work
with the township planning
commission for its pipeline ap-
plication, though the need for
the process is disputed.
Attempts to reach a represen-
tative from Williams were un-
successful.
At a June supervisors meet-
ing, Brennan said negotiations
were underway to settle disput-
ed issues between the company
and the township, including
whether zoning applied to pipe-
lines and what would be on site
at a metering station located
about 1,800 feet from the four
Dallas schools.
The Wyoming County Plan-
ning Commission granted Wil-
liams preliminary approval for
the construction of a metering
station on about 5 acres of land
in Northmoreland Township,
and company officials said it
would be a temporary site until
negotiations were finalized in
Dallas Township.
In other business, the board
approved an agreement with
Bassler Equipment of Forty
Fort for the purchase of more
than 100 new street signs in
conjunction with the Luzerne
County 911 readdressing pro-
ject and for routine replace-
ment.

ITS A
SHAME, really.
This NFL labor
war will appar-
ently end be-
fore any really
serious collat-
eral damage is
inflicted or any unexpected
positives develop. Thats good
news if youre just looking for-
ward to football season starting
on time, but its a bit disappoint-
ing for those of us who imag-
ined Andy Reid trying to drive
his frigate-sized SUV past
(through? over?) a picket line of
his players on Pattison Avenue.
Once upon a time, the Buddy
Ryan-coached Eagles became a
unified team because of strong
leadership through the 1987
strike. Then, it seemed as if
Philadelphia was at the center
of things. In this spat among
lawyers, you havent heard a
peep from the Eagles. Not from
owner Jeff Lurie and not from
any of the players.
The leaders are elsewhere.
Jerry Jones and Bob Kraft and
other owners are getting out of
limos at the negotiating ses-
sions. Drew Brees and Tom
Brady are out front for the play-
ers. You only hear from the
Eagles when Michael Vick gets a
new endorsement deal or De-
Sean Jackson says something
stupid.
In the great labor war of 2011,
the Eagles are sidelined with
flat feet.
That may turn out not to
matter if, as expected, the whole
thing fizzles out this week. For
all the chest pounding, cour-
troom posturing, tweeting, gag
orders and cameo appearances
by various judges, there will be
training camp and preseason
games and a full season.
Fans will suffer only a minor
annoyance, especially since this
could have been done a year
ago. Only ego and the need to
create a deadline prevented
that.
Kolb trade imminent
Seven years ago, the National
Hockey League shut down for
an entire year. That was a labor
war. When it was over, the new
roster and salary-cap rules
forced teams to shake up their
teams in a flurry of trades and
signings. Fans who swore theyd
never watch another NHL game
were dazzled by the shiny ob-
jects and immediately forgot
why they were angry.
The NFL seems poised to
follow that example. If this new
collective-bargaining agreement
is approved by players and own-
ers this week, there will be a day
or two for everyone to study the
rules. Then the free-agent ba-
zaar will open and teams can
rush through, haggling on a
cornerback here and bidding on
a running back there. For those
fans who TiVo the NFL Net-
works scouting combine feed
and spend weeks preparing to
watch the draft, this compressed
offseason will be more fun than
watching the actual games.
The long dormant Eagles can
ill afford to sit out this part of
the process. Indeed, they have
helped foster the public belief
that they are going to crash the
bazaar, waving a huge wad of
bills around.
Nnamdi Asomugah? Sure.
Reggie Bush? Sounds good.
Albert Haynesworth? New de-
fensive line coach Jim Washburn
can flip the switch that turns his
apathy into effort. Plaxico Bur-
ress? He can improve Reids
recidivism rate and red-zone
percentages. Vince Young to
replace Kevin Kolb as the No. 2
QB? Why not Steve Young?
The Eagles are unlikely to

NEW YORK The NBA
champion Dallas Mavericks will

Chicago, then host Miami in a fi-

The NBA released its com-
plete 2011-12 schedule Tuesday
despite being in a lockout that
couldlast months andcause it to
be scrapped.
Owners and players are still
well apart in negotiations on a
collective bargaining agreement
to replace the one that expired
June 30, and there is a fear that
regular-season games could be
lost to a work stoppage for the
second time in league history.
If not, Utah will host Hous-

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The inep-
titude of an offense which failed
to advance a runner past second
base during the first seven in-
nings doomed Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre to a 6-1defeat inthe second
game of a four-game series in
Huntington Park.
Equally as significant in the
loss category was what occurred
during the sec-
ond inning
when Ivan Nova
was forced to
leave the mound
with a right an-
kle injury while
attempting to
cover first base.
After going at
least seven in-
nings in each of
his first two
starts with the
Yankees, a visi-
bly disappoint-
ed Nova left af-
ter pitching just
1 1/3 innings.
He gave up a
first-inning home run to Jason
Kipnis and three hits overall. No-
va will be re-evaluated Wednes-
day.
I took a line drive off my ankle
a couple weeks ago and I thought
it was fine, but when I ran to first
base it hurt, Nova said. I was
throwing the ball well the last
twotimes I pitchedandhopefully
I can be ready soon.
One of the few bright spots of
the game was the relief pitching
of George Kontos.
He replaced Nova and tossed 2
2/3 scoreless innings, giving up
two hits, walking one and strik-
ing out four. It was a positive sign
for the 26-year-old right-hander,
whogave upfour earnedruns in2
1/3 innings during his last outing
July 16. He also gave up two
home runs and three earned runs
overall in one inning July 6.
(Kontos) did exactly what we
needed him to do, SWB manag-
er Dave Miley said. We werent
planningtousehimthat earlybut
it was 1-0 and he kept us in it for a
while before we let it get out of
hand.
Greg Smith relived Kontos and
walked the first batter he faced,
Cord Phelps, to open the fifth.
Tim Fedroff followed with a dou-
ble to drive in Phelps and make it
2-0.
In the sixth, Smith again had

NEWYORKHall of Fame defensive end
Carl Eller thinks a deal to end the NFLlock-
out will be reached this week and says
retired players wont stand in the way of an
agreement.
Eller and lawyers for retired NFL players
joined labor talks for about seven hours
Tuesday in NewYork as signs mounted the
dispute might almost be over. After leaving
the negotiations, Eller headed to a meeting
with NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell.
They want to get these
games going, and they
want to have a season.
Thats their focus, Eller
said. Our issues are very,
very critical very im-
portant but they dont
really have much to do with whether the
game goes on or not.
He said theres still a lot more to be
done when it comes to benefits for former
players, but that could be resolved after the
main dispute is settled.
The court-appointed mediator, U.S. Ma-
gistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, also was at
the session, his second consecutive day
overseeing negotiations. Owners and play-
ers were trying to close a deal to resolve the
NFLs first work stoppage since 1987.
The NFL Players Associations executive
committee met in Washington on Tuesday
to prepare for possible votes on an agree-
ment in principle. Representatives of all 32
teams were supposed to arrive by Wednes-
day.
The grass is cut, but the hay is not in the
barn yet. Weve got a lot of work to do,
NFLPA president Kevin Mawae said.

BLOOMSBURG The Wyoming Valley
American Legion League continues to flex
its muscles in the Region 5 Tournament.
Whena regional championis crownedto-
day, the award will go to a WVALL teamfor
the seventh time in the last 10 years.
Thats because Plains and Back Moun-
tain eliminated the other two teams in the
tourney and will face each other today for
the events title and a spot in next weeks
state tournament at West Lawn.
Plains began Tuesdays action at Central
Columbia High School with a 13-9 victory
over Green Ridge to eliminate the District
11 champion.
Three hours after Plains victory, Back
Mountain knocked out Canton, 12-9.
The WVALL foes will play for the sixth
time this season at 11 a.m. today. Plains
must beat the WVALL champions twice to
win the regional title. If Plains wins the first
game a second game will follow30 minutes
after the conclusionof the first. BackMoun-
tain has won all five previous contests pit-
ting the two against each other.
This says a lot for Wyoming Valley base-
ball, Back Mountain manager Tom Evans
said. It doesnt surprise me because I have
known our league is the best in the region. I
have believed that, and we win this tourna-
ment more than any other league.
Both winning teams got off to a rocky
starts early in their respective games.
Plains (19-9) fell behind 3-0 after the first
inning, but theteamput upthreeruns inthe
second and third innings to open a 6-3 lead.
The Wyoming Valley runner-up got a huge
boost on the mound fromJames Castellino.
The righty came inrelief of Dave Marriggi
whoonly lastedone inningandthrewfour
shutout innings beforeallowingfour runs in
the sixth inning. By the time Green Ridge
batter in the sixth, Plains held an 11-3 lead.

race slate this evening at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Lead-
ingthe three-year oldtrottingfillies tothe Plains Townshipoval is the
Noel Daley trained Cedar Dove. Reined by Ron Pierce, the daughter
of Andover Hall is just coming into her own again. In her last race
back on July 4, at Harrahs Chester, Pierce fired her out of from the
eight post and never looked back, wiring the field in a sharp 1:55.1.
She seems to be heading into this race in peak formand I see no one
stopping her from winning the seventh race tonight rather easily.

M A J O R L E A G U E B A S E B A L L
PITTSBURGHJames
McDonald and three relievers
combined on a six-hitter to help
the Pittsburgh Pirates shut out
the Cincinnati Reds for the
second straight night, 1-0 on
Tuesday.
McDonald (6-4) won for the
first time in five starts, pitching
effectively into the seventh
inning before getting bailed out
of a bases-loaded jamby Joe
Beimel and Chris Resop.
Joel Hanrahan worked the
ninth for his 28th save as the
first-place Pirates improved to
7-1 this season against the de-
fending NL Central champions.
Mike Leake (8-5) yielded one
run in six innings but couldnt
stop the Reds (47-50) from
dropping three games below
.500 for the first time this sea-
son. They trail Pittsburgh by
five games.
Phillies 4, Cubs 2
CHICAGOMichael Marti-
nez hit a tiebreaking two-run
double with two out in the
ninth inning, and the Philadel-
phia Phillies rallied to beat the
Chicago Cubs 4-2 on Tuesday
night.
Starlin Castros two-run
homer off Cliff Lee in the first
inning held up until Philadel-
phia chased Matt Garza in the
eighth, and Chase Utley tied
with a two-run double against
Sean Marshall. The winning
rally started with a two-out
single by pinch-hitter Ben Fran-
cisco. Jimmy Rollins drove a
hard smash off third baseman
Aramis Ramirezs glove, putting
runners on first and second,
and Martinez drove themin
with a bloop double off Mar-
shall (5-4).
Mets 4, Cardinals 2
NEWYORKJose Reyes
made a huge impact in the field
in his return froma hamstring
injury, turning a difficult double
play with the bases loaded in
the eighth inning after making
a diving stop that saved a run,
and the NewYork Mets wel-
comed back their two All-Stars
with a 4-2 win over the St.
Louis Cardinals on Tuesday
night.
Carlos Beltran also was back
in the Mets lineup after mis-
sing three games with a high
fever. He hit two doubles, sin-
gled, walked twice and scored a
run for NewYork, all while still
very congested.
Angel Pagan and Daniel
Murphy hit two-run doubles,
and Dillon Gee (9-3) pitched
seven sharp innings in the
Mets second win in five games.
Lance Berkman hit a mam-
moth homer and starter Kyle
Lohse (8-7) had an RBI single
for St. Louis.
Padres 4, Marlins 0
MIAMI TimStauffer
pitched six innings and four
relievers completed a six-hitter
to help the San Diego Padres
beat the travel-weary Florida
Marlins 4-0 on Tuesday night.
Ryan Ludwick and Orlando
Hudson hit consecutive two-out
RBI doubles in the first inning
for the Padres, and that was all
they needed. Cameron Maybin
had two hits, an RBI and a run
scored against his former team.
Stauffer (6-6) won for the
fourth time in his past five
starts and lowered his ERA to
2.83. He allowed four hits and
two walks but stranded three
runners in scoring position.
Astros 7, Nationals 6
HOUSTONClint Barmes
homered and drove in three
runs and Michael Bourn added
three RBIs to help starter J.A.
Happ break a seven-game los-
ing streak in the Houston As-
tros 7-6 win over the Washing-
ton Nationals on Tuesday night.

First-place Pirates
keelhaul the Reds
The Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Jeremy Hellickson pitched
seven strong innings and Tam-
pa Bay took advantage of slop-
py New York defense to score
two runs that gave the Rays a
3-2 victory over the Yankees on
Tuesday night.
Hellickson (9-7) retired 13 of
15 batters after giving up a
two-run homer to Robinson
Cano in the third inning, help-
ing his team stay close until
the sputtering Rays offense
could finally break through
against the Bartolo Colon.
Robinson Chirinos and Sean
Rodriguez singled, chasing
Colon (6-6) with one out in the
seventh. Thats when things
really awry for New York.
Orioles 6, Red Sox 2
BALTIMORE Jeremy
Guthrie allowed two runs in
seven innings in an effort that
belied his title as the losingest
pitcher in the majors, and the
Baltimore Orioles beat Boston
6-2 Tuesday night to end a
seven-game losing streak
against the Red Sox.
Derrek Lee and Mark Rey-
nolds hit successive homers in
the eighth inning off Alfredo
Aceves to turn a shaky one-run
lead into a more comfortable
cushion for the Orioles, who
lost their previous seven games
against Boston this season by a
combined score of 61-32.
Twins 2, Indians 1
MINNEAPOLIS Danny
Valencia hit a two-run single
off closer Chris Perez in the
ninth inning, sending the Min-
nesota Twins to a 2-1 victory
over the Cleveland Indians on
Tuesday night.
Perez (2-5) is in the middle
of a solid year but the Twins
got to him for a big win. He
walked Joe Mauer and gave up
a double to Michael Cuddyer.
Jim Thome was intentionally
walked to load the bases, and
Valencia followed with a bloop
single.
Royals 4, White Sox 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dan-
ny Duffy returned from the
minors to toss seven sharp
innings, Matt Treanor deliver-
ed a go-ahead two-run single in
the sixth and the light-hitting
Kansas City Royals hung on to
beat the Chicago White Sox 4-2
on Tuesday night.
Melky Cabrera homered and
Alcides Escobar drove in the
other run for Kansas City,
which came into the game
batting .196 while scoring a
measly eight runs during a
recent three-game skid. The
anemic output in part prompt-
ed manager Ned Yost to call a
closed-door meeting a couple
hours before the first pitch.
Tigers 8, Athletics 3
DETROIT Miguel Cabre-
ra and Carlos Guillen each hit a
two-run homer in Detroits
six-run fifth inning, and the
Tigers beat the Oakland Athlet-
ics 8-3 on Tuesday night.
The Tigers trailed 3-1 before
they grabbed control in the
fifth against Guillermo Mosco-
so (3-5).
After Magglio Ordonez
brought Detroit to within a run
with a sacrifice fly, Cabrera hit
his 20th homer of the season,
putting the Tigers ahead to
stay. It was his 600th career
extra-base hit.

S P O R T S
The Wilkes mens basketball
team has announced the addi-
tion of two players, as forwards
Cameron Hinkel and Michael
Sharpe will join the Colonels for
the 2011-12 season.
Hinkel, a 6-foot-3 wing from
Millerstown and Greenwood
High School, was a third-team
Class A All-State selection as a
senior. He averaged 15 points
and seven rebounds and earned
first-team all-conference hon-
ors.
Cameron can do a little bit of
everything on the basketball
court, Rickrode saidina school
release. In addition to being
able toscore ina variety of ways,
he plays extremely hard, re-
bounds well and is a tough de-
fender.
Hailing fromSaylorsburg, the
6-5 Sharpe played at Pleasant
Valley High School and record-
ed 13 points and five rebounds
per game as a senior.
Sharpe also was a first-team
all-conference selection in his
league.
Michael has a great upside
andplayedextremely well down
the stretch of his high school ca-
reer, Rickrode said. He has the
ability to score in the post as
well as being able to step out
and stretch the defense.
Wilkes returned to the post-
season a year ago, qualifying for
the Freedom Conference tour-
nament before losing to eventu-
al league champion Delaware
Valley in the semifinals.
The 2011-12 season tips off in
November.
C O L L E G E B A S K E T B A L L
Colonels mens team
adds two new players
The Times Leader staff
grams in the country, including
Alabama and Tennessee.
His initial choice was Stan-
ford, which developed the na-
tions most heralded college
quarterback in Andrew Luck.
But Mornhinweg reopened his
recruitment when coach Jim
Harbaugh left the Cardinal for
the NFL to take over the San
Francisco 49ers.
Mornhinweg becomes Penn
States first quarterback recruit
since Rob Bolden picked the Li-
ons in July 2009.
Bolden and Paul Jones both
came aboard for the 2010
recruiting class, one year after
Kevin Newsome came to Happy
Valley. Before that, Penn State
hadnt landed a scholarship
quarterback since Pat Devlin in
2006.
West Scrantons Matt
McGloin came to the team as a
preferred walk-on in 2008.
That uneven spacing has cre-
atedsomeheadachesat theposi-
tion for the Lions as of late. But
the coaching staff managed to
keep all four quarterbacks Bol-
den, Jones, McGloin and News-
ome on the roster despite Bol-
den and Newsome intending to
transfer in the offseason.
With little guarantee that all
four will playout their entirecol-
lege careers at Penn State, how-
ever, landingasolidquarterback
in this recruiting class was im-
portant for the Lions.
Thanks to the direction of his
father who has been a football
coach since 1981, including the
past 16 years inthe NFL Skyler
Mornhinweg will be one of the
more polished quarterbacks to
arrive on campus in recent
years.
As a junior at Prep, Mornhin-
weg topped 1,500 yards passing
and threw 13 touchdowns. En-
tering his third season as the
teams starting quarterback,
Mornhinweg had more than
3,000 yards through the air with
32 scores.

ton in the Rockets first game un-
der Kevin McHale and without
Yao Ming, and Oklahoma City
will visit newcoach Mike Brown
and the Lakers to conclude the
opening-night schedule.
Most teams begin Nov. 2, with
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade
andChrisBoshstartingtheirsec-
ond season together on the Heat
and facing a Knicks team led by
Carmelo Anthony and Amare
Stoudemire.
Also, Golden State hosts the
Lakers in its first game under roo-
kiecoachMarkJackson. No.1pick
Kyrie Irving would make his pro

visits Boston.
The first meeting between the
Mavs and Heat since Dallas six-
game victory in the finals high-
lights the Dec. 25 schedule. The
Celticsvisit theKnickstoopenthe
tripleheader and the Lakers wel-
come the Bulls in the nightcap.
The Mavs play inMiami for the
first timesinceclinchingtheir first
title on March 29.
The schedule was released
much later in the summer in re-
cent seasons while the NBA was
waiting for the completion of free
agencyandtrades toseewhat oth-
er marquee matchups could be
created. This time, with all trans-
actions and most other league
businessonhold, therewasnorea-
son to wait.
Its unclear what would happen
to the schedule if the season is de-
layed, though it would likely de-
pend on when a deal gets done.
The 1998-99 season didnt begin
until February, forcinganoverhaul
that limited teams to 50 games.
If a deal is completed in time to
save the entire season, other inter-
esting games include:
The first meeting between
Dallas and Los Angeles since the
Mavs ended the Lakers two-year
title reign on Dec. 15 in Dallas.
Anthonys return to Denver
with the Knicks on Nov. 16.
Deron Williams first game

season games in London ahead of
the 2012 Olympics.
The All-Star break is scheduled
for Feb. 24-26 in Orlando. The
regular season ends April 18,
with the Nets hosting the Bulls

before moving to Brooklyn for
the 2012-13 season.
SCHEDULE
Continued fromPage 1B
Owners, meanwhile, are set to
hold a special meeting in Atlanta
on Thursday, when they could
ratify a new deal. Executives
from all 32 teams then would be
briefed there Thursday and Fri-
day on how the terms would af-
fect league business. Clubs were
told topics would include the
2011NFL calendar, rookie salary
system and guidelines for player
transactions.
Goodell and NFLPA head De-
Maurice Smith planned to stay
in regular contact.
Still unresolved is what it will
take to get the 10 plaintiffs in-
cluding quarterbacks Peyton
Manning and Drew Brees, Char-
gers receiver Vincent Jackson
and Patriots guard Logan Man-
kins to sign off on a settle-
ment to their antitrust lawsuit
against the NFL that is pending
in federal court in Minnesota.
On Tuesday, lawyers for the
NFL and the players suing the
league submitted a joint filing to
the court, asking for an extra
week to file written arguments
to allow them to focus on the
continuing mediation. Tues-
days request, which was grant-
ed in the afternoon, noted that
the parties have also beenmeet-
ing regularly since April 11, 2011,
in an effort to resolve their dis-
putes.
Also pending is the TV net-
works case, in which players ac-
cused owners of setting up $4
billion in lockout insurance.
Another issue said to be stand-
ing in the way of a resolution to
the lockout: Players want own-
ers to turn over $320 million in
unpaid benefits from the 2010
season. Because there was no
salary cap that season, the old
collective bargaining agreement
said NFLteams werent required
to pay those benefits.
On a separate matter, a pro-
posal under consideration
would set up nearly $1 billion
over the next 10 years in addi-
tional benefits for retired play-
ers. That would include $620
million in pension increases,
long-term care insurance and
disability programs.
Retired players complained to
the court recently that they had
been excluded from negotia-
tions, which is why Ellers pres-
ence was significant.
We werent happy, and we
hope it doesnt go back to that.
We hope we stay active in the
talks and we hope we continue
to have meaningful talks. This
clearly lets us knowtheres more
work to be done, Eller said. Its
certainly something we want to
keep going and continue the dia-
logue, continue to work until we
have some kind of a solution.
Owners locked out players on
March 12, when the old collec-
tive bargaining agreement ex-
pired, leaving the countrys most
popular professional sports
league in limbo. The sides are
trying to forge a settlement in
time to keep the preseason com-
pletely intact. The exhibition
opener is supposed to be the
Hall of Fame game between the
St. Louis Rams and Chicago
Bears on Aug. 7.
The regular-season opener is
scheduled for Sept. 8, when the
Super Bowl champion Green
Bay Packers are to host the New
Orleans Saints.
The four-month lockout has
resulted in pay cuts for non-play-
ing employees around the
league, and economic hardship
for cities, like Cortland, N.Y.,
that hosted training camps in
the past but wont this year. On
Tuesday, the lower-level UFL
which had been hoping to start
its season in the void created by
a lack of NFL preseason games
announced it is delaying its
season start to mid-September, a
blow for a league that has lost
$100 million in only two years.
During lengthy negotiations
last week, NFL owners and play-
ers came up with the framework
of a CBA that addresses most of
their differences.

five innings, giving up five hits
and four runs.
Plains offense was paced by
designated hitter Julian Marti-
nez, who went 3-for-4 and drove
in four runs.
James Castellino came in and
pitched his heart out for five in-
nings and having himpitch those
stronginnings really propelledus
to victory, Plains manager Don
Stark said.
Back Mountain (23-4) also
gave up a three-spot in the bot-
tomof the first and was down 3-0
before scoring four in the top of
the second to go ahead 4-3. Can-
ton scored three more times in
the third to stake a 6-4 lead. Back
Mountain went ahead for good
plating three in the seventh and
four more in the eighth.
Most of the players who start-
ed for Back Mountain in every
postseason game were given the
day off onTuesday. The teamstill
didnt miss a beat and Paul Nar-
cum, who has caught every game
in the playoffs so far, was the DH
and paced the offense going 3-
for-4 with four RBI.
Paul has been catching day in
and day out and it was good to
give him a rest, Evans added.
We have a lot of real good ball
players that havent been playing
much and today was a chance for
them to show that they can play
too and contribute and they did.

offensive attack to Archbald

night.
It rallied for 19 runs in just
four innings to earn the 19-1
victory over Kingston/Forty-
Fort.
With last nights win,

Abington National took
advantage of being the away

runs in the first. It batted
around the order in the first
inning. Each of the first six
hitters reached base safely
and eventually scored.
Kingston/Forty-Fort got on
the board in the bottom of the
first when Sean Judge demol-
ished a ball way over the left
field fence.
But Abington National
never slowed down. In the top
of the second inning, Abing-
ton National extended its lead
to 10-1. Ryan Harvey led off
the inning with a double to
right-centerfield. Sam Arnold
and Matt Hughes then
crushed back-to-back homers.
Later in the inning Eric Brick-
el added to the Abington
power surge with a solo shot
of his own to left-center field.
The offensive train kept
rolling in the third inning.
Abington National extended
its lead to 17-1 before the
inning ended. The inning was
highlighted by a three-run
shot off the bat of Tony Salla-
vanti. The homer came in his
first at bat since entering the
game.
Collin Huggler then added
a two-run blast in the top of
the fourth making it a 19-1
ball game.
Judge led Kingtson/Forty-
Fort with the teams only two
hits and made some great
plays in the field.
Hughes was terrific on the
mound for Abington National.
He pitched a complete game
allowing just one run on two
hits. He struck out four and
walked just one.

with 12 entrants as players took a
two-hour dinner break three
busts from perhaps the biggest
bubble in cardplay.
Four twenty-somethings from
four different countries Ireland,
Costa Rica, the Ukraine and the
United States moved beyond
the threshold of chips needed to
have anabove-average stackat the
final table, easingsomeof thepres-

pick up chips.
The chip leader, 26-year-old
Eoghan ODea of Dublin, had
more than 36 million in chips at
the break, while 21-year-old Ukra-
nianAntonMakiievskyi andseries
Player of the Year leader Ben
Lamb each had more than 27 mil-
lion in chips. John Hewitt, 23, of
SanJose, Costa Rica, hadabout 26
million in chips.
While those short on chips
lookedfor hands togamblewithin
hopes of doublingtheir stacks, the
leaders maneuvered to try to put
themselves in better position to
avoid being eliminated 10th or

DETROIT After more than
400 wins and three Stanley
Cups, Chris Osgood figures he
has nothing left to prove.
The occasionally-maligned
goaltender who eventually
earned the admiration of De-
troits passionate fans an-
nounced his retirement Tues-
day, ending a career in which he
helped the Red Wings to two
championships as a starter and
another as a backup. Although
he was often overshadowed by
his talented teammates, Osgood
accomplished enough to start
an interesting discussion about
his Hall of Fame chances.
It means a lot to me, he
said. I feel like I do deserve to
be there. Its never easy playing
goalie for any team in the Na-
tional Hockey League.
The 38-year-old Osgood will
remain with the Red Wings,
helping scout and develop
young goalies. Osgood played
only 11 games last season as a
backup to Jimmy Howard, and
he was sidelined after under-
going sports hernia surgery in
January.
I feel as if I can move on, he
said. Im excited about my
future as to what Im going to
do with the organization.
Osgoods retirement leaves
Detroit searching for a backup
goalie. The Red Wings recently
re-signed Joey MacDonald to be
the teams No. 3 goaltender, and
general manager Ken Holland
said they will likely add another
goalie by the end of the week.
Osgood won his first Stanley
Cup in 1997, his fourth season in
the league, as a backup to Mike
Vernon. The following season,
he was the starter when the Red
Wings won their second straight
title.
Osgoods Hall of Fame case is
based on his 401 career wins
hes 10th on the NHLs career list
and his performance in the
postseason. He went 74-49 in
the playoffs with a 2.09 goals-
against average. He ranks fourth
in league history with 15 playoff
shutouts.
Tampa Bay Lightning
TAMPA, Fla. The Tampa
Bay Lightning has signed star
center Steven Stamkos to a
five-year contract.
Team vice president and gen-
eral manager Steve Yzerman
announced the deal Tuesday.
The 21-year-old Stamkos was a
restricted free agent. The team
did not announce the terms.
The Markham, Ontario, na-
tive played in all 164 games
during the previous two seasons
for the Lightning, leading the
NHL with 96 goals. He has also
recorded 186 points and 41
power play goals while averag-
ing more than 20 minutes of ice
time per game during that span.
Last season Stamkos regis-
tered 45 goals and 91 points
with 17 power-play goals.
He was the No. 1 overall pick
in the 2008 draft.
New Jersey Devils
NEWARK, N.J. After mis-
sing the playoffs for the first
time since 1996, the New Jersey
Devils have turned to Peter
DeBoer to get them to the back
to the postseason.
Its a simple assignment, but
seemingly an odd choice by
Devils president and general
manager Lou Lamoriello.
The 43-year-old DeBoer spent
the past three seasons as the
coach of the Florida Panthers
and was fired in April after
failing to lead them to the play-
offs during his tenure.
Lamoriello wasnt concerned
about DeBoers qualifications on
Tuesday after ending a nearly
four-month search to find a
replacement for Jacques Le-
maire, who went back into re-
tirement after the season ended.
Lamoriello insisted that De-
Boer was one of the best young
coaches in the business, and his
three seasons with the Panthers
only made him a better coach.
Coming out of junior, he was
the most highly sought after
junior coach, Lamoriello said.
But I also know from experi-
ence there is a transition and
when you go through a transi-
tion, you make mistakes. If you
are intelligent and admit them
and learn from them, you can
only be a better coach and bet-
ter person.
Lamoriello began courting
DeBoer after the season ended
and the two stayed in touch
over the 15-plus weeks since the
season ended.
DeBoer said he knew Lamo-
riello considered others for the
coaching job and he remained
patient.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP)
LSU committed major viola-
tions while recruiting a junior
collegefootball player, but wont
be slapped with any postseason
bans or future scholarship re-
ductions, the NCAAruled Tues-
day. The governing body decid-
ed to place the school on proba-
tionfor a year andciteda former
assistant coach for unethical
conduct.
The investigation found that
ex-assistant coach D.J. McCar-
thy improperly arranged for
transportation and housing for
former defensive lineman
Akiem Hicks in 2009, then later
tried to cover up those actions.
The NCAA accepted LSUs
self-imposed reduction of two
scholarships during the 2010-11
academic year, as well as a 10
percent reduction in official vis-
its and reductions in recruiting
calls. LSUalready had begun re-
ducing official visits during
2010-11, but the NCAA expand-
ed the punishment to include
2011-12.
McCarthyresignedinDecem-
ber 2009. Hicks never played for
the Tigers before he left LSU.
NCAA Committee on Infrac-
tions chairman Dennis Thomas
said LSUs violations all were
considered major. Yet he
stressed that punishment could
have been more severe if not for
the efforts of LSUs compliance
department to discover and re-
port the violations, and to coop-
erate withsubsequent NCAAin-
quiries.
The committee really felt
that the LSU compliance staff
and institution did an excellent
job, and that they assisted the
(NCAA) enforcement staff in
the investigation regarding
these violations, Thomas said.
He pointed specifically to Se-
nior Associate Athletic Director
Miriam Segar, who became sus-
picious of Hicks living arrange-
ments from the time he arrived
inBatonRouge. Accordingtoan
earlier LSU report on the mat-
ter, Segar spent weeks pressing
for answers and made the deci-
sion to bar Hicks from traveling
to LSUs 2009 season-opening
game at Washington because
she was unsatisfied with the in-
formation she had received.
That was critical, said Tho-
mas, who is also the commis-
sioner of the Mid-Eastern Ath-
letic Conference. If that had
not been done, the institution
could have really been under
more severe and serious penal-
ties as well.
LSU chancellor Michael Mar-
tin said the university does not
plan to appeal.
LSUhas a lot of key players re-
turning and is a popular pick to
contend for Southeastern Con-
ference and national titles.

come home with every name on
the wish list. But they do have
some serious work to do. By go-
ingtoVickas his startingquarter-
back, Reid sacrificed any slack he
might have had with the develop-
ing Kolb. The coachandthe team
are, and should be, back to the
Pass/Fail status that prevailed
during Donovan McNabbs last
seven seasons.
Reidchangeddefensive coordi-
nators after last year ended with
another Fail. He is nowobligedto
give Juan Castillo some talent to
work with. A legitimate starting
cornerback, at least one impact
defensive lineman and some se-
curity at safety arent options.
Theyre basic necessities if Castil-
lo is going to have a chance.
TheEagles, likemost relatively
smart teams, prefer to build
through the draft and use free
agency only when exceptional
players become available or a
holemust beplugged. Theyarein
the position of having to plug so
many holes, though, precisely be-
cause they havent drafted well
enough on the defensive side.
The defense that collapsed last
year was the product of a decade
of Reids personnel decisions.
WithVickinhis primeandapo-
tentially explosive offense, this is
the perfect time for a spending
spree that shores up the defense.
The Eagles time is now, which is
whytheEagles must moveKolbif

Phil Sheridan is a sports columnist
for The Philadelphia Inquirer
BALTIMORE (AP) Cal Rip-
ken Jr. was never pushed to play
baseball by his father. The Iron
Man adopted that same philoso-
phywhenbringinguphisownson.
TurnsoutthatRyanRipken, like
his dad, grew to love baseball.
And, just likehis father, hes pretty
darngoodat the game.
Ryan Ripken has been selected
to play in the 2011Under Armour
All-America Baseball Game,
which will be held next month at
WrigleyFieldinChicago. Overthe
first three years of the game, 88 of
the 103 draft-eligible players who
competedinthegamewereselect-
ed in the Major League Baseball
amateur draft including18first
roundpicks.
Ryan batted .353 as a junior at
GilmanHighSchoolandisalready
fielding scholarship offers from
several college baseball coaches.
Sure, his father is proud. But if
Ryan chose to drop baseball for
basketball, or opted to abandon
sports completely, his dad
wouldnt mindonebit if therunof
Ripkens inthe majors ends at two
generations.
Iwanthimtobehappy. If hede-
rives the same sort of happiness
that I did frombaseball, he wants
to pursue that and continue to
play, then Ill be happy for him,
Cal said Tuesday in an interview
with The Associated Press. But
quite honestly, I want him to
choose somethingthat hes happy
in, and it doesnt have to be base-
ball byanymeans.
Cal Ripken Sr. was a coach and
manager in the Baltimore Orioles
organization for nearly four dec-
ades. Cal Jr. spent his entire 21-
year career with the Orioles,
played in a record 2,632 straight
games andwas electedtothe Hall
of Fame in2007.
CalJr. lovedhangingaroundthe
Orioles clubhouse as a kidanden-
joyedplayingthegame. Ryangrew
up under similar circumstances
until his father retiredin2001.
Ryan stuck with baseball, but
not because he was pressured by
his notable dad.
I let himgravitate to whatever
he wanted to do. Thats what my
daddidtome, Cal said. Certain-
ly the exposure that youget being
inprofessional baseball is exciting
and different for the kids. Some
kids really like it and some dont.
Ryan was 8 years old when I re-
tired. Heenjoyedbeingaroundthe
clubhouseandthenhejust started
pursuingit.
Ryanreceivedplenty of instruc-
tion from Cal about the finer
points of the game, but nothing
could prepare him for whats its
like to have the last name of Rip-
ken and playing baseball in Balti-
more.
There are some positives asso-
ciatedwiththat, but inmanyways
theres a burden that comes with
the last name, Cal said. I think a
lotof peoplesortof expectalotout
of him. When kids are learning to
play the game we make mistakes.
We all grow from our failures.
Sometimes it doesnt seem like
Ryanisaffordedsomeof thosefail-
ures. Its almost like he feels the
pressure,hefeelsthescrutiny. And
hesdonearemarkablejobofhand-
lingit because he has to.
At 6-foot-6, Ryan is now taller
thanhis father. Hes a standout on
the basketball court, better than
most of his peers and far superior
tohis dad.
This is how he puts it: I can
scoreonDadwhenhestryingreal-
ly hard, Ripken said. Its true. I
dont think I cankeep up. Hes got
too much range on his shot and
hes a good player. Hes also taken
great pride in the fact hes passed
me inheight.
Ryan, who turned 18 on Mon-
day, has focused on baseball this
summer. Being selectedto play in
the All-America game is no small
accomplishment.
Its a great honor to be named
tothis teamwithall of theseterrif-
ic players, Ryan said. The game
is prestigious, and the thought of
playingat WrigleyFieldandrepre-
senting Baltimore and my team-
mates at Gilmanis exciting.
Describedas tall andlanky by
his father, Ryan doesnt yet pos-
sessthepowerof Cal, whohad431
careerhomers. Butheplaysasolid
first base and still has roomto de-
velophis swing.
Hes got easy power with his
bat. His home runs havent really
caught up to his easy power, but I
remind him that I hit zero home
runs in my first pro season, Cal
said.
No matter. Regardless of what
Ryan ends up doing, his father
wont be disappointed.
Its his life. He doesnt have to
do anything in baseball to make
me proud. Im proud of him al-
ready, Cal said. So its totally his
choice. My dads philosophy was,
Its your life, you have to make
choicesinyourlife. AndRyansgo-
ing to be giventhe full freedomto
make the choice his.
I know a lot of people find it
hard to believe. They think that I
wouldpush, push, push, push. But
I honestly, deep inside, it doesnt
matter tome.

He unsuccessfully negotiated
with CBS and TNT in recent
months.
The best-case scenario would
be for the NFL to come on board
as a partner, he said.
Huyghue said he had unsuc-
cessfullyapproachedtheNFLthe
past two years about a partner-
ship or a commitment to use the
UFL as a developmental league.
Asked if he would try again,
Huyghue said, If the labor situa-
tion got solved on Thursday, I
probably would be in their office
on Friday. Its a natural fit. Were
going to need a more powerful
support behind us to assist with
television and sponsorship.
If the UFL became a develop-
mental league in the mold of the
old NFL Europe, Huyghue said,
the UFL would be willing to play
in the spring or fall or a combina-
tion of the two.
The NFL and UFL have had a
cordial relationship, Huyghue
said. Last season each 52-man
roster included an average of 24
players with NFL experience.
NFL teams signed about 60 UFL
players last season, assigning
themtoeither theactiveroster or
practice squad.
Our owners dont want to get
out, Huyghuesaid. Theywant a
system of support so theyre not
shouldering all the financial bur-
den themselves.
UFL games were shown on
HDNet and Versus last year, with
the league paying production
costs for Versus telecasts.
The league also spends about
$9 million for workers compen-
sation insurance and an addition-
al $2 million on chartered flights
and hotels, Huyghue said.
The emergence of the Omaha
Nighthawks as a signature fran-
chise gave the UFLhope it could
find its niche. The team aver-
aged about 23,000 fans for its
four home games last season
with a roster featuring NFL vet-
erans Jeff Garcia and Ahman
Green and former Ohio State
star Maurice Clarett.
Clarett is set to play for the
Nighthawks again this season
along with Nebraskas 2001
Heisman Trophy winner, Eric
Crouch.
The UFL is hoping to avoid
the fate of other upstart profoot-
ball leagues that failed.
You can only tell people
youre doing your best, Huygh-
ue said. The only crystal ball I
have is the message I get from
the owners, and they are sup-
portive.
OMAHA, Neb. With the
NFL working to end its lockout
and save the preseason, the
struggling United Football
League announced Tuesday it
would push back the start of its
games from August to Septem-
ber.
The schedule switch is anoth-
er blowat a critical time to
the second-tier pro league that
has lost more than $100 million
in its two years of existence.
The UFL had hoped to gain
exposure in the vacuumleft by a
locked-out NFL. It scheduled
several early-season games on
Sundays and aimed to fill televi-
sion time slots normally re-
served for NFL exhibition
games. But Commissioner Mi-
chael Huyghue toldreporters he
was resigned to losing a wind-
fall from the NFL.
It seems nonsensical for us
to play on Sundays when the
NFL is there, Huyghue said.
The only reason we did it was
we hedgedour bet andfelt confi-
dent the labor situation was go-
ing to invade the traditional pre-
season, and that might be in-
ducement for networks to want
tofill that voidwithahigh-quality
football product. That is not the
case.
The UFL has franchises in
Omaha, Hartford, Conn., Nor-
folk, Va., Las Vegas and Sacra-
mento.
The league is made up of play-
ers who were cut in NFL training
camps, veterans who want to get
back to the NFL and free agents.
Players earn about $40,000 a sea-
son.
Even with the delayed start,
the plan is for each team to play
eight regular-season games,
Huyghue said.
This is considered a make-or-
break year for the UFL, whose
majority owners are Bill Ham-
brecht, Paul Pelosi and Bill May-
er.
Huyghue said the league pro-
jected that it would lose money
the first three years. But the $100
million in losses so far is consid-
erably higher than Huyghue had
reported previously. There also
are$6millioninunpaidbills from
UFL vendors.
Huyghue said he twice recom-
mended that the league suspend
operations, in January and again
last month. But he saideachtime
the owners told him they be-
lieved in the UFLs mission and
were committed to funding the
leagues $50 million budget for
this season.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Pitts-
burgh Steelers running back
Rashard Mendenhall is suing the
parent companyof the Champion
sports apparel maker, calling the
decisiontodrophis endorsement
deal over his tweets about the
death of Osama bin Laden and
the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks a
breach of contract.
Mendenhalls lawyers filed suit
Monday in U.S. District Court in
North Carolina, seeking roughly
$1 million in damages from Ha-
nesbrands, Inc., the Winston-Sa-
lem-based corporate parent of
Champion.
The complaint says Cham-
pions decisiontoendits endorse-
ment deal with Mendenhall in
May, days after he questionedthe
public celebration of bin Ladens
death, violates a contract exten-
sion the two parties signed in
2010, worthover $1million. Men-
denhall first signed a deal to en-
dorse Champion products when
he entered the league in 2008.
For Rashard, this really is not
about the money. This is about
whether he can express his opin-
ion, said Steven Thompson, a
Chicago-based attorney repre-
senting Mendenhall.
A spokesman for Hanesbrands
did not return a call seeking com-
ment byearlyTuesdayafternoon.
But legal experts said Menden-
hall may have a difficult time
proving his case.
An athlete contracts away his
free speech rights in signing his
endorsement deal, said Jeffrey
Standen, a sports law professor
and associate dean at Willamette
University College of Law in Sa-
lem, Ore. What the sponsor is
buying is the athletes name and
image, and their name and image
are relatedto public behavior and
opinions.
Shortly after bin Laden was
killed by a team of Navy SEALs,
Mendenhall tweeted, inresponse
to scenes of euphoria around the
U.S., What kind of person cele-
brates death? Its amazing how
people can HATE a man they
have never even heard speak.
Weve only heard one side... He
also tweeted on the Sept. 11 at-
tacks: Well never knowwhat re-
ally happened. I just have a hard
time believing a plane could take
a skyscraper down demolition
style.
The comments prompted sig-
nificant anger, leading to a clarifi-
cation by Mendenhall and a sep-
arate statement by Steelers team
president Art Rooney II distanc-
ing the organization from Men-
denhalls remarks. But his num-
ber of Twitter followers nearly
doubled to around 37,000 within
a few days of the tweets.
Hanesbrands decision to drop
the Steelers star was likely a
kneejerk reaction made within
48 hours of the tweets, Thomp-
son said. Morals clauses are
commonly invoked when an ath-
letes behavior makes the wrong
kind of headlines. Philadelphia
Eagles quarterback Michael Vick
lost endorsement deals after rev-
elations about his participation
in a dogfighting ring, and Tiger
Woods was dropped by some of
his sponsors following the disin-
tegration of his marriage over ac-
cusations of serial infidelity.

GAP, France (AP) Defend-
ing champion Alberto Contador
caught his Tour de France rivals
by surprise with a brash climb-
ing attack Tuesday, gaining time
on leader Thomas Voeckler dur-
ing a rainy 16th stage won by
Thor Hushovd.
Contador burst from a pack in
the final climb of the 101-mile
course from Saint-Paul-Trois-
Chateaux to Gap. Among the
other big title contenders, only
Cadel Evans of Australia could
keepup. AndySchleckof Luxem-
bourg, like Evans a two-time run-
ner-up, lost ground.
I knew I needed to attack,
Contador said. I couldnt care
less if someonekept onmywheel
I knewone of themwouldfail.
Imso happy. It has been a major
gap, much bigger than I expect-
ed.
Voeckler expects to give up
the yellow jersey before the race
ends Sunday in Paris.
I kept it by a handful of sec-
onds, but that shows that Ive hit
my ceiling, he said.
Hushovd led a three-man
breakaway to win a stage for the
second time on this Tour. Fellow
Norwegian Edvald Boassen Ha-
gen was second and Hushovds
Garmin-Cervelo teammate Ryd-
er Hesjedal was third.
Hushovd, a veteranstar sprint-
er, showed off his new talents
when he won Stage 13 over a big
climb. This time, he broke away
on a rolling course.
The Norwegian has been one
of the stars of this race: He held
the yellow jersey for six days
early in the race after Garmin-
Cervelo won the team time trial
in Stage 2.
To win another stage is very
good, he said.
Ten breakaway riders pressed
the pace through most of the
stage. By the finish, that group
had thinned to the two Norwe-
gians and Hesjedal, a Canadian.
As the pack prepared to scale
the mid-grade Col de Manse
climb, with less than 10 miles
left, Contador sped to the front
of the pack in a string of attacks
togainabout 20seconds onmost
favorites. Only Evans kept up.
The signal fromContador was
clear: Dont forget about me.

SANDWICH, England
Dustin Johnson probably
doesnt think hell have to wait
15 years to win a major.
He already has won four
times in his four years on the
PGA Tour, and he has played in
the final group at three of the
last six majors. That doesnt
happen by accident. To say
Johnson is the most talented
American golfer wont get much
of an argument.
Then again, a young Darren
Clarke might have thought the
same thing.
Clarke was among the new
faces in European golf that
helped inspire a slow revival in
the late 1990s. He might not
have had the raw skill of some-
one like Johnson, but a major
figured to be in his future. He
played in the final group at
Royal Troon in 1997. He took
down Tiger Woods at the 2000
Match Play Championship when
Woods was at the absolute top
of his game. Then came another
close call a year later in the
British Open.
His major finally arrived Sun-
day, a month before he turns 43,
his head full of gray hair and his
belly bulging.
But at least he got there.
The hardest thing with Dar-
ren was that hes been slightly
labeled an underachiever. And
he was, his agent, Chubby
Chandler, said in the glowing
aftermath Sunday evening. He
had the talent to win a major, an
Open, but it didnt happen. For
it to happen like this is just
amazing. Now hes no longer an
underachiever.
Clarke became the third-
oldest player to win his first
major, trailing only 45-year-old
Jerry Barber in the 1961 PGA
Championship and Roberto De
Vicenzo at 44 in the 1967 British
Open.
There are others like Clarke
who were on the downside of
their prime years when they
won a major. Two that come to
mind are Tom Kite, who was 42
when he won the U.S. Open,
and Mark OMeara, who was 41
when he won the Masters and
British Open.
One reminder from this Brit-
ish Open is that there are no
guarantees in golf. The game
owes nothing to anyone.
Johnson would seem to be a
lock to win a major, simply by
the experience he has been
gaining, even if its the kind hed
rather forget. But hard knocks
also raise questions.
There was that atrocious start
at Pebble Beach last year on his
way to an 82, his dubious two-
shot penalty on the final hole of
Whistling Straits last year at
PGA Championship when he
didnt realize he was in a bun-
ker, and that 2-iron on the 14th
hole of Royal St. Georges on
Sunday.
Surely, hell figure it out soon.
But wasnt that also said of
Sergio Garcia?
Garcia had it far more diffi-
cult, playing in an era when
Woods was winning majors just
about every year. The Spaniard
is only 31, although it seems as
though hes been around much
longer because he has been in
the mix at majors so much. As a
19-year-old rookie, he nearly
came from behind to catch
Woods at Medinah. He played
with Woods in the final group
twice more in majors, and when
Woods wasnt around, Garcia
found another nemesis while
losing two majors to Padraig
Harrington.
A dozen years after he roared
onto the scene, Garcia still
hasnt won the big one. And this
year, his game reached a point
that he was happy just to be
playing in the last two majors.
And then theres 38-year-old
Lee Westwood.
As happy as he was for one of
his best friends winning the
Open, part of Westwood had to
be asking, When will it be my
turn?
Twice in the last four years,
he missed out on a playoff in the
majors by one shot. He had the
54-hole lead at the Masters last
year and was beaten by better
golf from Phil Mickelson. West-
wood kept getting better to the
point that he reached No. 1 in
the world.
But still no major.
Lee has done everything he
can do to get himself into con-
tention to win, Clarke said.
Unfortunately, hes had guys
that have played better than him
on quite a few occasions, or
theyve had the bounce of the
ball or things going their way.
Right now, things havent gone
his way, but Im sure that they
will go his way because hes too
good a player to not go his way.
True.
But the same could have been
said of Colin Montgomerie.
He won a record eight money
titles on the European Tour. He
twice got into a playoff at the
majors, losing both of them.
Then came what appeared to be
a Clarke-type moment at
Winged Foot in 2006 when
Montgomerie, at age 42, had a
chance to win a U.S. Open.
From the middle of the 18th
fairway, he chunked a 7-iron and
made double bogey. That shot
might explain why Monty never
won a major.
Everyone makes blunders in
the majors Kite, OMeara,
Tom Watson and they even-
tually figure it out.
Of all people, I think Lee
Westwood deserves something
to be given to him, Clarke said.
And Im very sure that he will
win majors, and not just a ma-
jor.

Intel earnings
The weak economy and the rise of
smart phones and tablet comput-
ers are threatening the personal
computer market. And any threat
to PCs is a threat to Intel. The
companys chips go into 80 per-
cent of the worlds PCs. When Intel
reports second-quarter results
today, analysts expect to see no
growth in earnings per share. Intel
is working on chips that use less
power that can go into mobile
devices. Its also focusing on PC
sales to developing countries.
American Express earnings
American Express focuses
on wealthier customers, so
its seeing fewer defaults
than others in the credit card
industry. Affluent customers
arent as affected by the
weak job market. They also
have benefited from the
stock markets gains over
the last year. Analysts
expect American Express to
report a 17 percent rise in its
second-quarter earnings per
share.
A look at housing
The housing industry is still
weak, but it may be improv-
ing. On Tuesday, a report
showed that construction of
new homes and apartments
increased in June from May.
Today, economists expect
another report to show sales
of existing homes also rose
in June, to an annual rate of
4.9 million. But the pace
would still be well below the
6 million to 7 million homes
sold annually in 2003-06. Source: FactSet

Debt progress lifts shares
Strong profits and a bipartisan plan
to lift the U.S. debt limit drove a stock
market rebound Tuesday.
Stock indexes rose after Coca-Cola,
IBM and other companies reported
better second-quarter earnings. The
indexes added to their gains in the
afternoon after President Barack Oba-
ma backed a proposal by six senators
that would cut debt by $3.7 trillion
over the next decade and raise the
countrys $14.3 trillion debt ceiling.
The Dow Jones industrial average
had its largest one-day jump this year.
Bank stocks were mixed. Wells Fargo
& Co.s profit soared 30 percent to 70
cents per share on stronger results
from lending. The banks stock gained
5.6 percent.
Both Bank of America Corp. and
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. fell after
posting disappointing results.
Apple sales, profits soar
Apple says results trumped expecta-
tions for yet another quarter, with
iPhone and iPad sales setting new
records.
Net income in the fiscal third quar-
ter, which ended in June, was $7.31
billion, or $7.79 per share. Thats more
than double the $3.25 billion, or $3.51
per share, a year ago.
Analysts polled by FactSet were
expecting earnings of $5.82 per share.
Revenue was $28.6 billion, up 82
percent from $15.7 billion a year ago.
Analysts were expecting $24.8 billion.
The results were lifted by the sale of
20.3 million iPhones, millions more
than analysts had expected.
IPad sales came in at 9.25 million
units, also above analyst expectations.
Deal for Southern Union
Natural gas pipeline company South-
ern Union Co. on Tuesday agreed to be
bought by Energy Transfer Equity for
$5.7 billion, topping a bid from rival
Williams Cos.
The cash-and-stock offer works out
to $44.25 per share. The deal is worth a
total of $9.4 billion, including debt.
Energy Transfer Equity LP and Wil-
liams Cos. have been battling for
Southern Union, based in Houston, for
over a month. Last week Williams
offered $44 per share.
Southern Unions tie-up with either
company could bring close regulatory
scrutiny because of the size and simi-
larity of their businesses. Energy Trans-
fer says it will sell some businesses to
satisfy regulators.
Sales, profit rise at Harley
Harley-Davidson Inc.s U.S. sales rose
almost 8 percent and its profit more
than doubled in the second quarter, the
first time since the end of 2006 that
domestic sales have increased for the
motorcycle maker.
Consumers felt more confident and
wanted to upgrade to new bikes. On
top of that, the brand has the largest
share of sales when it comes to new
kinds of bikers such as women, blacks
and people under 35. The company is
also expanding its market share over-
seas.

WALL STREET
WASHINGTON -- More companies
hold an optimistic outlook toward in-
vesting in newequipment than hiring,
a survey showed, another sign the la-
bor market will struggle to improve.
Fifty-four percent of companies said
they will boost capital spending over
the next 12 months, comparedwith43
percent that plan to increase payrolls
by the end of the year, according to re-
sults of a poll taken last month by the
National Association for Business Ec-
onomics. Respondents also scaled
back forecasts for economic growth as
sales and profits cooled.
The economic landscape is weak-
ening and the recovery is softening
Shawn DuBravac, chief economist for
the Consumer Electronics Associ-
ation in Arlington, Va., who analyzed
the report, said in a statement. Sales
growthremains positive for the major-
ity of firms responding, he said, but
that majority is now smaller than it
was last quarter.
The report combined with slowing
payroll gains shows employment will
be slow to recover the 8.75 million
jobs lost as a result of the recession,
raising the risk that household pur-
chases will weaken further. A report
last week showed retail sales stagnat-
ed last month.
The index of the outlook for invest-
ment in new equipment and software
over the next year, which reflects the
difference between those planning in-
creases and decreases, climbed to 50,
seven points higher than in the last
survey issuedinApril. The measure of
capital spending projects already initi-
ated last quarter rose to 36, the high-
est level in more than five years.

NEW YORK Mayor Michael
Bloomberg is firing a shot across the
bow of Silicon Valley, saying New
York Citys efforts to attract a new
science and engineering campus
will help the metropolis surpass the
California region as the world cap-
ital of technology startups.
We understand that we will not
catch up to Silicon Valley over-
night, Bloomberg said Tuesday in a
speech to the business community.
Building a state-of-the-art campus
will take years and attracting a
critical mass of technology entre-
preneurs may take even longer.
But, Bloomberg said, he believes
that in its first three decades the
school could help launch 400 new
companies and create more than
22,000 permanent jobs, as well as
more than 7,000 construction jobs.
The city plans to offer nearly free
real estate and up to $100 million in
infrastructure upgrades to a univer-
sity, institution or consortium that
commits to creating what Bloom-
berg says will be a world-class sci-
ence and engineering campus, to be
built on Governors Island, the
Brooklyn Navy Yard or Roosevelt Is-
land. The citys formal request for
proposals was issued Tuesday.
Stanford and Cornell universities
and the University of Chicago have
expressed interest in the deal, as
have schools in Finland, India, Swit-
zerland, Korea, the United Kingdom
and Israel. Additionally, some insti-
tutions have formed partnerships as
they consider the deal. One such
group is made up of New York Uni-
versity, Carnegie Mellon, the City
University of New York, the Univer-
sity of Toronto and IBM.
New York City is the No. 2 recip-
ient of venture capital funding for
technology startups, after surpass-
ing Boston last year, Bloomberg
said.
NYC fires shot at Silicon Valley
By SAMANTHA GROSS
Associated Press
SANTACLARA, Calif. Thepersonal
computer industry needs a jumpstart
and its counting on a rescue fromemerg-
ing markets and a late-to-the-party push
into tablet computers.
The U.S. and European PC markets
have entered a dangerous new phase:
Fewer people are buying new PCs be-
causeof economicanxiety, market satura-
tion and the rise of new gadgets such as
Apples iPad. More signs of strain are ex-
pected as PC makers and their compo-
nent suppliers begintodisclose quarterly
earnings this week.
The PCis still the backbone of the dig-
ital world. More than 1 million PCs are
sold every day, and the industry is bigger
than ever.
But market research firms IDC and
Gartner Inc. said last week that PC ship-
ments worldwide grewat just over 2 per-
cent in the second quarter, short of both
firms expectations.
New competition for PC manufactur-
ersmakesit just really, reallyhardtomake
a profit, said Sarah Rotman Epps, a For-
rester Research analyst who has studied
the evolution of consumer technology.
As a result, PC makers are looking to
emerging markets to boost sales.
The newstrategy was evident at Intels
recent investors conference, where the
companys CEO, Paul Otellini, unveiled a
map that identified where PC growth is
expectedtobe strongest incomingyears.
Otellini gesturedtowardplaces suchas

Tablets force
a shift in the
PC industry

ASHINGTONBuilders broke ground on more
single-family homes and apartments in June,
helping the battered construction industry gain a
little life after a dismal spring.
The Commerce Department said Tuesday that builders be-
gan work on a seasonally adjusted 629,000 homes last
month, a 14.6 percent increase from May.
Still, thats roughly half the 1.2 mil-
lion homes per year that economists
say must be built to sustain a healthy
housing market. Jennifer Lee, a se-
nior economist at BMO Capital Mar-
kets, calledthegains just ablipinthe
overall flat-lining trend of homebuild-
ing activity.
We have to see a rebound in job
creationtosustaina recovery inhous-
ing, she said.
Much of the increase in June came
from a surge in apartment construc-
tion, a volatile part of the industry.
That sector jumpedmore than30per-
cent last month.
Rentinghas become a preferredop-
tion for many Americans who lost
their jobs during the recession and
were forced to leave their rapidly de-
preciating homes. Since 1992, apart-
ments have typically made up just 20
percent of home construction. Now,
they make up closer to 30 percent of
the market.
Single-family home construction
rose 9.4 percent. It was the biggest in-
crease since June 2009, when the re-
cession officially ended. But analysts
said the pace of 453,000 homes per
year was still too depressed to signal
a turnaround.
The underlying trend of single-
family housing starts shows no signs
of improving in a significant manner
anytime soon, said Joshua Shapiro,
chief U.S. economist at MFR Inc.
Building permits, a gauge of future
construction, increased 2.5 percent.
Home construction rose in every
part of the country.
The biggest gains in single-family
home construction were in the Mid-
west and South, which sawextensive
damage fromtornadoes and flooding
this spring.
In the Northeast, the overall build-
ing pace spiked 35.1 percent. New-
home sales fell in May to a seasonally
adjusted pace of 319,000 homes per
year. Thats far below the 700,000
homes per year that economists con-
sider healthy.
One reason is that previously occu-
piedhomes are a better deal thannew
homes.

New home construction is ongoing on Courtright Street in Wilkes-Barre. The Commerce Department said Tues-
day that builders nationwide began work on a seasonally adjusted 629,000 homes last month.
Breaking ground
Home building jumps in June after dismal spring
We have to see a rebound in job creation to sustain a recovery in housing.

StocksRecap
Dave Carpenter, Elizabeth Gramling AP
How do you prepare for a financial disaster
that may not happen?
Thats the question for investors as the Aug.
2 deadline approaches for Washington to raise
the governments borrowing limit or risk a U.S.
default on its debt. Economists say a default
could create a crisis similar to what happened
after Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in 2008.
Stocks crashed and the credit markets froze.
What you should and shouldnt do if youre
getting anxious while the deadline approaches:
Crisis
mode
Dont abandon
your long-term plan.
Most investors who had diversified portfolios
in 2008 and stuck with them have made up
their losses even though the S&P 500 fell
57 percent from its peak in October 2007 to
the market bottom in March 2009. Investors
who pulled money out of stocks have found it
tougher to recover.
Watch for buying and selling
opportunities.
If stocks fall as the deadline approaches, it
may be a good time to look for bargains. You
also might want to consider selling stocks that
would be hurt if big cuts to government
spending are part of an agreement on the
borrowing limit. Goldman Sachs told investors
last week that some companies get at least a
fifth of their revenue from government
contracts. Among them: health care providers
and defense contractors.
Remember that rebalancing
can be risky.
Avoid selling in a panic. If you pull money out
of stocks now, you could miss a relief rally if
Congress and the White House make a deal
to raise the borrowing limit. And if your timing
is right and stocks do fall, youll need to be
right a second time and get back into stocks
before they start rising again. But if youll
need your money in the next year or if youre
worried about losses, then yes, you may want
to sell some stock.
Be wary
of bonds.
Investors who flee to bonds to avoid the
volatility of stocks could get burned. A default
could drive up the cost of government borrow-
ing for years to come. That would lead to
higher interest rates for everyone. If that
happens, bonds would lose value because
their prices move in the opposite direction
from rates.

The countrys largest bank reported
a quarterly loss of $9.1 billion, partly
due to an $8.5 billion mortgage
bond settlement.
The beverages maker sold more
drinks around the world and offset
higher ingredients costs by raising
some prices.
Quarterly profit rose 30 percent.
The number of uncollected loans
and credit card bills dropped
sharply.
Strong corporate profits and a bipartisan plan to lift
the U.S. debt limit drove a stock market rebound.
Stocks rose after Coca-Cola, IBM and other com-
panies reported better earnings. The market add-
ed to its gains in the afternoon after President
Obama backed a proposal by six senators that
would raise the country's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling.
The Dow rose 1.6 percent. The S&P 500 rose 1.6
percent. The technology-focused Nasdaq rose 2.2
percent.

So far this sum-
mer we've had
four days at or
above 90
degrees. The
hottest day was
June 8 with 92.
As the hot
weather pattern
this week
spreads east, we
can expect to
see at least
three more 90
degree days with
the hottest day
likely to be
Thursday.
Temperatures
then will range
from 94 to 99
here in town.
Friday could be
almost as hot.
Factor in the
humidity and the
heat index, or
how hot it feels,
the temperature
will rise to
between 100 and
105. Any storms
that form today
and tomorrow
will be few and
far between.
The excessive
heat will proba-
bly last through
the weekend
with our next
chance for any
relief not coming
until Tuesday.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: An upper-level ridge of high pressure will continue to promote hot and humid
conditions from the Plains to the East Coast today. Scattered thunderstorms will be possible this
afternoon across portions of the Deep South and Southeast, as well as the Desert Southwest. An
upper-level disturbance will produce scattered showers across portions of the Pacic Northwest.

THE TIMES LEADER WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 2011
timesleader.com
Summer is a
great time of
the year to be
outside. We
naturally appre-
ciate it, because
we are locked
up inside for many months in
these parts. Plus, its too hot
now to turn on the oven and
cook.
When the family comes over,
fill up the tank of propane or
purchase some charcoal.
Im not telling you to make
your own sausages because I
know its a lot of work. But
many stores sell quality brat-
wurst, Italian or Polish sausages
and they even can be purchased
online.
The bratwurst is the sausage
of Germany, traditionally fla-
vored with ginger, nutmeg,
coriander and caraway.
Dont let any of these flavors
scare you away.
Most of the brats you find
today are made to please our
American palates.
For maximum enjoyment,
remember, what makes any
sandwich is the bread. Support
your local bakery and splurge on
some fresh rolls.
Call up the family and, well,
act German. You can grab a case
of cold ones or switch it up and
make a batch of Mojitos or my
favorite some mint juleps.
Remember, always keep your
family close but hold on to your
bratwurst even closer.
Here are some toppings to
dress up the sausages:
SAUERKRAUT TOPPING
1 pound prepared sauerkraut
8 strips of bacon, diced
1 apple, diced
1
4 cup white onion, diced
Render the diced bacon in a
saut pan. When it looks good and
brown, add the onions and cook
until translucent. Add the apple
and sauerkraut and cook for anoth-
er five minutes. Let cool and then
top your bratwurst.
BRUCHETTA TOPPING
3 ripe tomatoes, diced
10 leaves of basil, shredded
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
pinch of black pepper
Need something to do with
those tomatoes you been stealing
from the neighbors garden? Com-
bine all ingredients and youre
good to go. You may need to add
some salt depending on your taste.
Salt will bring out excess water in
the tomatoes so you may want to
use a slotted spoon with this one.
RELISH
1 cup of your favorite pickles
1 tablespoon minced red onion
1
4 cup of hot pepper, fresh or
jarred
1
2 red pepper, diced
juice of one lime
If you have a food processor, add
all ingredients and buzz. The goal
is to combine all ingredients but
still leave them chunky. Without a
food processor, chop all solid in-
gredients and place in a bowl. Add
the lime juice.
GRILLING TIPS
Cook the bratwurst or sausages
over medium heat. If the grill starts
to flare up, move them away from
the flames. They usually cook
between 10-15 minutes depending
on the size. Remember to let them
rest for 5 minutes before diving
into them or you risk the chances
of the flavorful juices running out
of them and right down your shirt.

One thing we found among our local
grill masters is that theyre all drawn to
a good, flavorful marinade, as opposed
to a rub. They were kind enough to
share the best ones theyve come across
for you to enjoy.
SPICY VENISON MARINADE
(via Jim Hargrove)
Ingredients:
1 can tomato sauce
1 can of beer
2 dashes cayenne pepper
2 dashes onion powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
6-inch skewers
Sliced green peppers, tomatoes, and
mushrooms
Directions:
Cut venison into bite-size chunks. Mix
tomato sauce, beer, cayenne pepper, onion
powder, and black pepper together in large
bowl and add venison chunks to bowl, fully
coating them with marinade. Let sit over-
night.
Slice green pepper, tomato, and mush-
room into pieces suitable to fit on skewer.
Place those, along with marinated venison
chunks, on skewer. Use the marinade from
the bowl to lightly coat the vegetables.
Turn grill to low heat. Place skewer di-
rectly on grill for three minutes, then turn
over and grill an additional three minutes.
Serve as appetizer.
PINEAPPLE MARINADE
(via Annie Sweitzer, originally found on about-
.com, works best with pork or chicken)
Ingredients:
1 cup crushed pineapple
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon powdered cloves
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together and let meat
marinate overnight. Grill as desired.
ZESTY BARBECUE MARINADE
(via Dan Maker, originally found on allrec-
ipes.com)
Ingredients:
1 cup barbeque sauce
1/2 cup steak sauce
1/2 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
1/2 cup whiskey
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons habanero hot sauce
3 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Directions:
Mix all ingredients in large bowl.
Cover the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking
dish with approximately half the marinade.
Place desired meat in the dish, and cover
with remaining mixture.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at
least 6 hours before grilling.
Local grillmasters share favorite marinade recipes

Jim Hargrove, 43, of Ashley, is no
stranger to grilling. Hes done it all
steak, chicken, pork, venison, all in dif-
ferent marinades and rubs. But he
found it was the simplest of tricks that
makes his mouth water.
I put butter on a burger once and
that was it, he said. No going back.
Hargrove spreads a light coat of but-
ter on both sides of the hamburger pat-
ty, thenputs the patties inthe fridge for
a half hour. He grills themon lowheat,
four minutes on each side.
Flip them only once, he said, and
dont press down or itll take the flavor
out.
He also lightly butters the inside of
the hamburger buns, placingthose ona
low-heated grill for 30 seconds.
Its an easy way to keep the burger
moist, without loading it down with a
lot of extra flavoring.
Chicken is another grilling stand-by
that can be kept moist with another
W
e routinely toss our favorite burgers, steaks or chickenbreasts onthe fire. Or
we slap a fillet of fish on a piece of foil, close the lid and call it a meal.
Fellow grillers, its time to put some spark in your repertoire.
The fear of failure has even been documented in Webers annual GrillWatch survey:
People admit theyre challenged by grilling fish, shellfish, pizza, fruit and desserts.
The only way around it is to face your fears.
If you love pizza indoors, youll find the out-
door version super easy, quick and just as tasty.
(You can even grill your toppings right next to
the crust.)
The smoke of the grill enhances the natural
sugars of vegetables fromasparagus to zucchini.
Onions and red bell peppers taste sweeter; egg-
plant and mushrooms taste heartier. Grilled let-
tuce, anyone?
If youre shy about cooking a whole chicken,
butterfly it for even, quick cooking. Its a perfect
option for feeding a crowd because you can put
several on the grill at once.
Fish is delicate but great on the grill, and its
really a snap to cook the fillets without the foil.
Or splurge on lobster tails and shrimp, which
look and taste impressive but couldnt be sim-
pler.
And dont forget to top off a great grilled meal
withthe caramelizedsweetness of fruit kissedby
flames.
BUTTERFLIED
WHOLE CHICKEN
Why: A whole bird cooks evenly and quickly
when butterflied, and its a good way to feed a
family or a crowd. Several grill as easily as one.
The basics: Remove the giblets and keep for
another use. On a cutting board, place the chick-
enbreast sidedown. Usingpoultryor heavy-duty
kitchen shears, cut along each side of the back-
bone and remove. Flip the chicken over so its al-
most flat. Press down firmly to crack the breast-
bone and so the whole chicken lies flat.
Recipe for success: You can marinate the
chicken any way you like, or try brining it. Mix
Shrimp and lobster tail brushed with chive
butter tastes great on the grill.
Grilled pizza cooks in a flash, so make sure to
have your toppings ready.
Direct heat draws out and caramelizes fruit,
making the grilled variety perfect for dessert.

GOOD EATS!
simple trick.
Soak it in brine before you
grill it, Annie Sweitzer, of
Forty Fort, said. Brine is a
mixture of water that is heavi-
ly salted.
Sweitzer uses two quarts of
water, twotablespoons of salt,
two crushed garlic cloves, and
four sprigs of fresh thyme for
her brine. She lets the chicken
soak overnight.
While Dan Maker, 41, of
Forty Fort, has no problem
grilling up a good piece of
meat now and then, what he
really enjoys making is some-
thing not often thought to be
on a grill.
Pizza, he said. I love to
make all kinds of pizza on the
grill.
Maker has made several dif-
ferent kinds of grill pizza, but
his first ever grilledcreationis
a favorite among his family.
It always comes backtothe
barbecue chicken.
For this, Maker said to coat
the bottom of a round pre-
made pizza shell with olive
oil, then top it with a can of
chunk chicken, barbecue
sauce, and Colby jack cheese.
Grill it on medium heat for
about tenminutes, or until the
cheese melts.
One thing to remember,
Maker said, is to go easy on
the toppings.
You dont want to load the
pizza up or it wont cook
through. Youll have burnt
crust but toppings that arent
fully cooked.
Avoiding burnt crust is one
of the trickiest parts to the
process.
Its very important to
watch the crust, Maker said.
In a split second they can go
from golden to charred.
Burnt grill creations is
something Maker is all too fa-
miliar with.
I burnedthings all the time
when I started grilling. I
would drive myself nuts with
ruining food, then I realized it
was because I was runningtoo
hot. I find that, like me, most
people tend to grill on too
high a temperature. After you
fire the grill up, bring it down
to a medium heat and cook
that way.
GRILLERS
Continued from Page 1C
1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup ko-
sher salt in12-16 cups water (de-
pending on the size of the chick-
en). Place the chicken in the
brine for about 3 hours. Rinse
well after removing from the
brine. To cook, preheat the grill
to medium-high. Place the
chicken bone side down on the
grates, cover the grill and grill
about 45 minutes or until thor-
oughly cooked through. If desir-
ed, brushwithfavorite barbecue
sauce during the last 10 minutes
of grilling. Remove from the
grill and let rest about 15 min-
utes before slicing.
FRUIT
Why: Direct heat draws out
and caramelizes the natural sug-
ars. Serve grilled fruits on their
own as a dessert, or pair them
with a main dish or savory foods
like tangy cheeses or fresh
herbs. Pineapples, papayas, avo-
cados, peaches, plums and nec-
tarines are great for this. Apples
and pears also hold up well. To
grill bananas, cut them in half
with the peel still on. Avoid
overly ripe fruit because it will
become too soft.
The basics: Preheat or pre-
pare the grill for medium heat.
Clean and oil the grates. Cut the
fruit in half and remove seeds or
pits. For pineapple, remove out-
er skin if desired and then cut
the pineapple in half lengthwise
and remove the core. Slice into
1-inch-thick pieces. For round
fruits, grill the halves or slices
big enough so they dont fall
through the grates. Brush with
canola oil and grill, cut sides
down, until nice grill marks ap-
pear. Turn and grill until the
fruit is just softened.
Recipe for success: Have
ready nectarines, papayas,
peaches or plums. Melt 1/2 cup
apricot preserves mixed with
about 2 tablespoons canola oil,
stirring until smooth. Brush
over the fruit and grill as above.
For a surprise, add feta cheese
to the centers of the fruit and
heat until the cheese is warm.
Or serve grilled stone fruits
with a dollop of Greek-style yo-
gurt or a drizzling of balsamic
glaze. For the glaze, heat 1/3-
1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar in a
small saucepan until reduced
and syrupy, about 10 minutes.
PIZZA
Why: Thin pizza dough grills
in a flash. Any toppings are
great, but sometimes just brush-
ing the dough with a good fla-
vored oil will make a delicious,
chewy addition to a salad, ribs
or whatever youre cooking,
Sam Zien, author of Sam the
Cooking Guy: Just Grill This!
(Wiley, $19.95), says inanemail.
The basics: A baking sheet
without sides is great for mov-
ingpizza aroundonthegrill. For
one pizza, use 1/2 pound dough
at roomtemperature andformit
into an 8-inch, free-form shape.
Preheat the grill to medium.
Brush one side of the dough
with olive oil and place the oiled
side down on the grill. Oil the
side facingup. Grill about 5min-
utes or until its lightly browned
and grill marks appear. Turn
over, add toppings, close the lid
and grill about 4 to 5 minutes or
until the cheese melts and the
second side is done.
Recipe for success: For a
grilled veggie pizza, have all
your toppings sliced and ready
inadvance. Start grilling zucchi-
ni, eggplant and red onion be-
fore putting the dough on the
grill. Stretch or roll the dough
and put it on the grill when the
veggies have been cooking for
several minutes. When the
dough is cooked, top the pizza
with the veggies and shredded
Italian-blend cheese.
VEGETABLES
Why: Grilling brings out the
sweetness of many vegetables,
especially red bell peppers, zuc-
chini and onions. You can sea-
son the vegetables as desired
and even marinate them. Just
dont marinate them too long,
because they will get mushy and
fall apart.
The basics: Just about any
vegetable works, including let-
tuces like romaine and radic-
chio. Some, like sliced potatoes
and carrots, benefit from a little
precooking. Make sure the vege-
tables are cut into the same size
pieces so they cook evenly. Pre-
heat the grill to medium or me-
dium-high and oil the grates.
Brush the vegetables with oil
and grill, depending on the veg-
etable, about 3minutes per side.
Recipe for success: For grilled
romaine lettuce with bleu
cheese, preheat the grill to me-
dium. Have ready cooked crisp
bacon pieces, blue cheese crum-
bles and blue cheese dressing.
Cut a whole head of romaine in
half lengthwise through the
core, keeping the core intact.
Brush the cut side of the ro-
maine with olive oil. Place cut
side down on the grill and cook
2-3 minutes or until grill marks
appear. Remove to a platter.
Drizzle with blue cheese dress-
ing and top with blue cheese
crumbles and bacon.
