WILKES-BARRE State police statistics suggest it is safer to reside anywhere else in Luzerne County than in Wilkes-Barre. The city experienced a 21-percent jump in serious crime from January through the end of June, compared to the same time in 2012, according to the state police Uniform Crime Report.

I hope you do what you are supposed to do. County Judge William Amesbury, at the request of Smiths attorney, Joseph Blazosek, and agreement of Phillips, allowed Smith to be released on probation to attend college in the fall at Barry University in Miami, Fla. McGrady and Smith had been friends. Phillips said Thursday the juvenile system isnt meant to be prison, but rather rehabilitation. Smith could have struggled through his placement at Alternative Rehabilitation Communities Inc. in York or he could have done exactly what he did everything that was asked of him.

WILKES-BARRE Assistant District Attorney Mamie Phillips said Thursday prosecuting juvenile cases is hard enough. When the death of a teen is involved, she said, thats when it becomes the most difcult to tell a family such as that of 15-year-old Kayla McGrady of Edwardsville that the teen charged in connection with her death isnt going to prison. What makes it easier, Phillips said, is when a teen like Scott Smith, charged with causing the January 2011 accident that killed McGrady, does everything he is supposed to while in juvenile detention. Smith, now 18, has graduated from high school and has been accepted to a university in Florida, where hell

Attorney general wont defend Pa.in gay-marriage suit

PHILADELPHIA Pennsylvanias elected attorney general said Thursday that she will not defend a 17-year-old state law effectively banning same-sex marriage from a legal challenge in federal court, meaning the task will be left up to Gov. Tom Corbett. In a brief statement to reporters and a small crowd of supporters at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Kane said she cannot ethically defend the constitutionality of Pennsylvanias marriage law, and that she believes it to be unconstitutional. Today, the attorney general chooses to protect all those without high-priced lawyers, all those who suffer discrimination and inequality, those thousands of families who have been denied of the dignity and respect that the constitution protects and guarantees in marriage equality, Kane said. Today we represent everyone who does not have representation. Under Pennsylvania law, it is the attorney generals duty to defend the constitutionality of state laws. But the law also says the attorney general may allow lawyers for the governors ofce or executive-branch agencies to defend a lawsuit if it is more efcient or in the states best interests. Kane, a Democrat who supports same-sex marriage, said she will leave B SPORTS: B1

the job to Corbett, a Republican who opposes same-sex marriage. Both were named in a lawsuit led in federal court Tuesday seeking to overturn the law and legalize same-sex marriage in Pennsylvania. Corbetts ofce has declined to comment on the See SUIT | 10A CLASSIFIED: 1D Comics: d12

Its taken more than six decades and a jagged journey of nearly 10,000 miles, but Wilkes-Barre native Sgt. Bernard J. Fisher will soon arrive at his well-earned and longdenied nal resting place in Arlington National Cemetery next week. Fisher was killed in action during an attack on his position north of Seoul, South Korea, in January 1951. But his remains were not identied until last year, and on Thursday the Department of Defense announced they would be interred at Arlington on Tuesday. The journey between the assault that ended his life and the burial that should bring his family closure borders on epic. The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Ofce outlined the trajectory. Fisher, 21 when he died, served with elements of Company L, 3rd Battalion, 19th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division. When the attack came, he and others worked to delay the enemy advance. They attempted to move to a more defensible position, suffering heavy losses in the process. When the smoke cleared, Fisher was among those reported missing.

IN BRIEF

PSU tuition will rise this fall

Penn States tuition at the University Park campus would increase by 3.39 percent for in-state students, according to the proposed rates the university announced Thursday. Freshman and sophomore students from Pennsylvania would pay an additional $264 per semester, which comes out to $16,090 for the 2013-14 school year. Freshmen and sophomores from outside the state would pay an extra $400 per semester, or $28,664 for the year. The rates were discussed at a meeting of the universitys board of trustees nance committee at the Fayette campus. The board will vote on the proposed rates at its meeting today.

The Wilkes-Barre-based Commission on Economic Opportunity is one of ve agencies to receive a total of $3 million in homeless prevention grants from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to assist veterans in 12 Pennsylvania counties, VA Secretary Eric K. Shinseki has announced. CEO will receive $367,000 to serve approximately 120 participant households in Luzerne County. Under the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program, VA is awarding grants to private non-prot organizations and consumer cooperatives that provide services to very low-income veteran families living in or transitioning to permanent housing. Those organizations provide a range of services that promote housing stability among eligible very low income veteran families and play a key role in connecting veterans and their family members to VA services such as mental health care and other benets. Community-based groups can offer temporary nancial assistance on behalf of veterans for rent payments, utility payments, security deposits and moving costs. This is the programs third year. Last year, VA provided about $100 million to assist approximately 50,000 veterans and family members.

Students act out the right way at theater camp

DALLAS TWP. Jessica Dreemer laughed the moment she donned the elephant ears and trunk without rst shedding the cop costume she was wearing for a scene from a different song. Im the worlds rst elephant policeman! the 14-year-old Tunkhannock resident shouted Thursday as she jumped back on stage in the Lemmond Theater of Misericordia University. She joined a circle of budding actors and actresses ages 7 to 15 surrounding Lake-Lehman High School junior Ronnie Ziomek, one of several student coaches at this years Northeast Youth Theater Company camp, run by theater coach Gina Major of Dallas. It began Monday and culminates today, when the students get to show off what they learned in a show for parents, family and friends at the theater. The troupe starts each day around 10 a.m. with some improv exercises. On Thursday, Ziomek spun like the needle in a game of Twister, stopping and pointing randomly to those encircling. He gave one of three cues, each requiring a specic response. If a you missed the response, you sat on the oor and were out of the game. It teaches them to react really well, Ziomek said, noting he has worked with Major for years and has learned a great deal from her. Acting is all about paying attention and staying focused. After the warm up, Major started running the students through a variety of Broadway musical numbers, peppering the performances with directions. Project! Slow down! You have to put the happy in it! While they nished one famous show stopper, Major offered an aside: The most amazing thing is that they memorize all of this in three nights. Between numbers, she shouted a question. How many of you think its unfair to have to memorize in summer, when youre not in school? Not a single hand rose. How many of you begged to be here? she asked, with every hand rising. Sometimes, she noted, they have to cajole parents into paying for the ve-day camp. When asked why they dont mind doing school-like memorization when not in school, Morgan Thomas, 11, was quick to answer from behind the oversized eyeglasses she had donned as a hint of a costume. In school, you have to memorize, so its work, the Wilkes-Barre resident said. Here its fun; you memorize to act. Back to work, Major critiqued the last performance, pointing out some of the voices fell out of tempo because the speakers for the music were in front of them. Well put a monitor behind you for the show tomorrow, so youll hear the music before the audience does. But youve got to keep your ears really open! Dreemer, still in her elephant gear with the Dumbo-sized ears, didnt miss a beat. I can do that!

Honeybee keeper to impart sweet lesson

Drew Schaub
Times Leader Intern

Kevin Baker is a local beekeeper from Meshoppen who wants to educate people about honeybees, which many regard as pests who are only good for harvesting honey. At 1 p.m. Saturday Baker will be give a honeybee workshop at the Howland Preserve outside of Tunkhannock, where he will discuss the honeybee business and the importance of honeybees to our ecosystem. Anyone who is interested in attending should visit the North Branch Land Trusts website, nlbt. org, or call its ofce at (570) 696-5545.

Kevin Baker holds up one of his homemade honeycomb frames, which contains a honey crown on top and below it a capped brood, which is where honeybees develop before they hatch.

Baker manages numerous hives throughout NEPA and wouldnt even venture to estimate how many honeybees he cares for. He obtains all of his bees by removing them from buildings. His previous

job in construction allows him to effectively remove the bees without harming either them or the buildings they have occupied. To most people, this would seem like a daunting job, but

Baker said, Honeybees are completely docile unless they are aggravated by stepping on them or disturbing the hive. Its hard to take those words to heart when one is standing a foot or two away from one of the hives on Bakers property. A tinge of fear grips the heart right before he is about to remove the top of a wooden box that several thousand honeybees call home. But after walking away unscathed, his words certainly hold more meaning. Besides the honey they produce, the bees have numerous other benets including pollination, the creation of wax and medicinal uses, he said.

WILKES-BARRE A White Haven man serving a 20-to-40-year prison sentence for stabbing his girlfriend to death in October 2007 testied Thursday he should be allowed to withdraw his guilty plea. Bobby Lee Komrowski, 54, who pleaded guilty to a charge of thirddegree murder in February 2009, appeared at a Post-Conviction Relief Act hearing before county Senior Judge Joseph Augello, where he made the request based on ineffective counsel he had at the time. According to court papers, Komrowski was charged after he was found standing near Amy Comlys body in his home on Autumn Drive in Foster Township. Police said Komrowski fatally stabbed Comly, 31, hours after he was served with a protection-from-abuse order. But, Komrowski explained Thursday, thats not how it happened, and in fact, Comly was stabbed only after she stabbed him in an altercation. Komrowski said Comly came to his house, an argument began and she stabbed him. Komrowski testied he struggled with Comly, when she was stabbed about three times, before he called 911. Komrowski, who was called to testify by his attorney, Jeffrey Yelen, said he wanted to withdraw his guilty plea because, at the time, his attorneys Paul Galante and Mark Bufalino didnt discuss evidence for a scheduled trial and recommended he make the plea because it didnt matter what the truth was. Youll be on death row and youll never see your son again, Komrowski said the attorneys told him. So, Komrowski said Thursday, he pleaded guilty to a third-degree murder charge because his attorneys never prepared any defense or case to present at a trial at his request. If certain evidence been thrown out, and had a defense been prepared, Komrowski said he never would have pleaded guilty. He said Thursday he pleaded guilty to a third-degree murder charge because his attorneys never prepared any defense or case to present at a trial at his request. All I want is fair and due process, Komrowski said. Even if I walk out of here today, I still took a persons life. The truth means something to me. Deputy District Attorney Alexis Falvello had Komrowski read from a transcript of his guilty plea, in which Komrowski said he was pleased with his attorneys representation and understood the facts to which he was pleading guilty. Augello said he would schedule another hearing on the matter in September.

IN BRIEF

Evidence points to DeSalvo

DNA links longtime suspect to Boston Strangler victim
The Associated Presst BOSTON The man who once claimed to be the Boston Strangler has been linked to one of the 11 victims by DNA evidence for the rst time, leading authorities to plan to exhume his remains for further testing and perhaps putting to rest speculation that Albert DeSalvo may not have been the notorious killer after all. DeSalvos remains will be exhumed after authorities concluded that DNA from the scene of Mary Sullivans rape and murder produced a familial match with him, Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley said Thursday. Conley said he expected

Message in a bottle holds innocence A bottle containing a message sent by Sidonie Fery more than 12 years ago when she was about 10 years old recently was found as workers were cleaning up Patchogue, Long Island, beach after Superstorm Sandy. She and a playmate tossed the bottle into the Great South Bay off Long Island. Sidonie was tragically killed in a fall at a Swiss boarding school in 2010.

investigators to nd an exact match when the evidence is compared with his DNA. Sullivan, 19, was found strangled in her Boston apartment in January 1964. Sullivan, who had moved from her Cape Cod home to Boston just days before her death, had long been considered the stranglers last victim. The announcement represented the most denitive evidence yet linking DeSalvo to the case. Eleven Bostonarea women between the ages of 19 and 85 were sexually assaulted and killed between 1962 and 1964, crimes that terrorized the region and grabbed national headlines. DeSalvo, a blue-collar worker and Army veteran who was married with children, confessed to the 11 Boston Strangler murders, as well as two others. But he was

never convicted of the Boston Strangler killings. He had been sentenced to life in prison for a series of armed robberies and sexual assaults and was stabbed to death in the states maximum security prison in Walpole in 1973 but not before he recanted his confession. An attorney for DeSalvos family said Thursday they believe theres still reasonable doubt he killed the Stranglers last supposed victim, even if additional DNA tests show a 100 percent match. DeSalvo family lawyer Elaine Sharp said previous private forensic testing of Sullivans remains showed other male DNA was present that didnt match DeSalvo. Authorities countered by saying their evidence was preserved in a lab, while the evidence used in private testing was very questionable.

Spanier claims libel, defamation

Penn States former president Graham Spanier initiated a libel and defamation case Thursday against Louis Freeh, the former FBI director who a year ago produced a report for the school that was highly critical of Spaniers role in the child sex abuse scandal involving longtime assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. Paperwork filed in Centre County, where the school is located, disclosed little about the nature of his claims but checked off a box on a court system form that described the case as slander/libel/defamation. The filing was made one day before the one-year anniversary of Freehs report, which concluded that Spanier, late coach Joe Paterno and other high-ranking Penn State administrators failed to protect children against Sandusky. Calls and emails seeking comment from Freeh and from Spanier lawyer Elizabeth Ainslie were not returned. Along with Freeh, the paperwork also names as a defendant the law firm where Freeh works. Spanier was forced out as president and later was charged as part of an alleged cover-up of complaints about Sandusky. A school spokesman said Thursday Spanier remains a faculty member on administrative leave.

Deal near on student loans

Talks continue in Washington
Philip Elliott Associated Press WASHINGTON An emerging deal to lower interest rates on student loans took shape Thursday, offering Democrats promises that interest rates would not reach 10 percent and giving Republicans a link between borrowing terms and the nancial markets. Lawmakers and their aides were in talks about how they might reduce rates on subsidized Stafford loans, which doubled to 6.8 percent last week in the wake of congressional inaction. Efforts to restore those rates to 3.4 percent were abandoned in favor of a new compromise that bears many similarities with a bill that House Republicans have passed, and with President Barack Obamas budget proposal. There is no question that there is a compromise available on this important issue and that the sides have not been that far apart and we just need to get it done, White House spokesman Jay Carney said. We have been working with lawmakers to make that compromise happen. We need to make sure that students dont see their rates double, he said. Under the plan lawmakers are considering, interest rates on new loans would be based on the 10-year Treasury note plus an additional percentage to pay for administrative costs. Undergraduate students would see a better deal than the current 6.8 percent rate but could face higher costs if the economy improves and Treasury notes become more expensive. Rates for students this fall would be around 4 percent and would be capped at 8.25 percent in future years. Graduate students and parents, too, could nd better deals next year but again would face higher rates than the current 7.9 percent. Borrowing for those PLUS loans would be around 6 percent this fall and capped at 9.25 percent in coming years. Lawmakers were still working on specic rates but both parties were in rough agreement on the numbers. They were waiting for the Congressional Budget Ofce to double check their math to make sure the proposal did not cost taxpayers or generate too much prot. Talk of a compromise came just hours after Democraticled efforts to restore the 3.4 percent interest rates failed to overcome a procedural hurdle in the Senate. After several failures to nd a stopgap measure, Democrats abandoned that tactic and instead looked for a compromise.

Assad gloats about Morsis fall

Arab identity is back on the right track after the fall from power of Egypts Muslim Brotherhood, which had used religion for its own political gain, Syrian President Bashar Assad said in remarks published Thursday. Assads comments to the Al-Baath newspaper, the mouthpiece of his ruling Baath party, came a week after Egypts military ousted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi as millions took to the streets to urge his removal. Morsi was Egypts first freely elected president. Assad is facing an insurgency at home and has refused to step down, calling the revolt an international conspiracy carried out by Islamic extremists and fundamentalist groups. His comments mark the second time in a week that he has gloated publically about Morsis fall.

Prosecutor delivers closing arguments in Zimmerman murder trial
The Associated Press SANFORD, Fla. George Zimmerman proled 17-year-old Trayvon Martin assuming he was up to no good, and that led to the Miami teens death, a prosecutor said Thursday in closing arguments of the neighborhood watch volunteers second-degree murder trial. A teenager is dead. He is dead through no fault of his own, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda told jurors. He is dead because a man made assumptions Unfortunately because his assumptions were wrong, Trayvon Benjamin Martin no longer walks this earth. De la Rionda told the jury that Zimmerman wanted to be a police ofcer and thats why he followed Martin through his neighborhood even though the teen wasnt doing anything wrong. He assumed Trayvon Martin was a criminal. That is why we are here, de la Rionda said. Zimmerman showed ill will and hatred when he whispered profanities to a police dispatcher over his cellphone while following Martin, said de la Rionda as he urged jurors to hold Zimmerman accountable for his actions. In order to get a seconddegree conviction, prosecutors must show Zimmerman showed ill will, hatred or spite. De la Rionda dismissed defense claims that Zimmerman acted in selfdefense, accusing the neighborhood watch volunteer of lying about what happened. The prosecutor also showed jurors a headshot photo of Martin taken from his autopsy. Jurors trained their eyes on de la Rionda, barely taking notes. Prosecutors began their closing arguments after the judge presiding over the trial ruled that jurors can consider the lesser charge of manslaughter, but she denied a request for the jury also to consider third-degree murder after a defense attorney called the proposal outrageous. Prosecutor Richard Mantei argued that instructions for third-degree murder should be included on the premise that Zimmerman committed child abuse when he fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin because Martin was underage. But defense attorney Don West called the proposed instruction a trick, and he accused the prosecutor of springing it on the defense at the last minute. Just when I didnt think this case could get any more bizarre, the state is alleging child abuse? West said. Judge Debra Nelson denied the third-degree murder instruction, saying she was exercising caution since she was unsure if prosecutors could prove intent.

Appeals judges at the United Nations Yugoslav war crimes tribunal have reinstated a genocide charge against Radovan Karadzic linked to a campaign of killing and mistreating non-Serbs at the start of the Bosnian war in 1992. The decision Thursday reversed the former Bosnian Serb leaders acquittal last year on one of the two genocide charges he faces. Presiding Judge Theodor Meron says appeals judges believe that prosecution evidence presented at Karadzics trial could indicate that Karadzic possessed genocidal intent. Thursdays ruling will likely further draw out his long-running trial on 10 other charges including another genocide count for allegedly masterminding the 1995 Srebrenica massacre.

Climate change causing energy disruptions

Matthew Daly Associated Press WASHINGTON Climate change and extreme weather already are causing disruptions in the U.S. energy supply that are likely to worsen as more intense storms, higher temperatures and more frequent droughts occur, the government says in a new report. The report, released Thursday by the Energy Department, says blackouts and other problems caused by Superstorm Sandy and other extreme weather events are likely to be repeated across the country as an aging energy infrastructure struggles to adapt to rising seas, higher storm surges and increased ooding. A range of energy sources are at risk, from coal-red power plants to oil wells, hydroelectric dams and nuclear power plants. Climate-related disasters have already costs tens of billions of dollars, and the report says costs could grow exponentially unless a more comprehensive and accelerated response is adopted. On the Gulf Coast, for instance, the report cites a study by an energy company and wetland foundation projecting that by 2030, nearly $1 trillion in energy assets in the region will be at risk from rising sea levels and more intense hurricanes. Based on an analysis of hazards, assets and vulnerabilities, the Gulf Coast energy sector faces an average annual loss from climate change and extreme weather of $8 billion in 2030, the report said. The report urges private companies, governments and research institutions to take action to further understand the risks of climate change and reduce them. The report does not offer immediate recommendations, but says power plants and oil companies should use less water and recycle what they use. Electricity providers should harden transmission grids and build emergency backup systems, the report says, and operators of hydroelectric dams should improve turbine efciency. The report also recommends that governments and utilities work together to reduce demand for electricity. Water is obviously the big question, said Jonathan Pershing, deputy assistant secretary of energy for climate change policy and technology, who oversaw the report. In drought you dont have enough water. As seas rise, you have too much. While the risks from drought, oods and hurricanes are clear, water plays an important role in less obvious ways as well, Pershing said. Both coalred and nuclear power plants, for instance, need large volumes of water for cooling. As temperatures rise, that becomes more difcult.

Mother,son among 3 charged with supplying beer for party before fatal crash
Jerry Lynott
jlynott@timesleader.com

TUNKHANNOCK TWP. A mother and son from Meshoppen were among the three people state police charged Thursday with furnishing beer for an underage party last May. One of the teenagers who attended the party was killed when he crashed a utility vehicle in Wyoming County. Christine McClain, 47, admitted she bought three 30-can packs of beer for her 18-year-old son Casey but said she thought he was going

to stay on their property to drink it, according to arrest papers. The third person charged, Joshua Harris, 18, of Tunkhannock, said the boy killed, 17-year-old Christopher Packer, was drinking at the party on private property along Vago Road, Lemon Township, the night of May 5, according to arrest papers. Harris and Casey McClain each face 11 counts of corruption of minors, 20 counts of furnishing alcoholic beverages to minors and one count of tampering with evidence for throwing beer cans in the woods after the crash, according to arrest papers.

District Judge John Hovan allowed them to remain free on $10,000 unsecured bail after their arraignments. Christine McClain has not yet been arraigned. She faces two counts of corruption of minors and three counts of furnishing alcoholic beverages to minors. Packer, a junior at Tunkhannock Area High School, was a passenger in the UTV that one witness said sped up a hill and ipped, according to arrest papers. He died from injuries suffered in the crash. State police said 20 people under

the age of 21 attended the party. Police interviewed a number of them as part of the ongoing investigation. According to the afdavits of probable cause to support the arrests of Harris and Casey McClain: McClain initially refused to answer questions about who purchased the beer for the party. He later said his mother, Christine, bought it and that he gave her money. She bought the beer at a distributor in Tunkhannock and drove to a secluded place to exchange the beer. The son said his mother gave him $20 in change and told him, Dont

get in trouble. McClain said he was the middleman and drove to the party where he set the beer on the ground for people to drink. Christine McClain met with state police and said she heard rumors that investigators wanted to meet with her about a party. She also said, Alcohol didnt kill Chris Packer. She told investigators that her son asked her to buy beer because he was going to go shing out back. McClain said she felt comfortable buying beer for her son because she thought he was going to remain on their property.

Mail carrier becomes dogs best friend

Arraignment waived in fatal hit-and-run involving 5-year-old

Carol Morrison of the Luzerne county SPCA discusses what to do with three pit bulls left unattended in an apartment in Larksville for two to three weeks. The emaciated dogs were found after a mail carrier saw one of them knock out a second-floor window screen and called police requesting a welfare check. The building at 22 E. Broadway St. has been condemned. Police said the dogs owner told them he got stuck working in Philadelphia. SPCA Manager Cindy Starke called the situation disgusting and irresponsible. She said the dogs would be checked by a veterinarian and hopefully well be able to find them a new home. Starke said abandonment charges can be filed by police or a humane officer, and it is currently a police case. Police said Thursday night that the incident remains under investigation.

WILKES-BARRE Minutes before a formal arraignment was scheduled to begin Thursday for a Plains Township man charged in a fatal hit-and-run that left a 5-year-old boy dead, his attorney filed court papers waiving the proceeding. Thomas Letteer Jr., 23, of Mack Street, was scheduled to appear before County Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. on one count of accidents involving death in the Dec. 21 crash that killed Kevin Miller, of Dallas. Just before the 9:30 a.m. hearing where prosecutors gathered, Sklarosky was notified of a waiver filed by

Letteers attorney, William Ruzzo, entering a not-guilty plea to the charge. Sklarosky scheduled a pretrial hearing for Aug. 12. Letteer is free on $200,000 Letteer Jr. bail. Investigators allege Letteer was driving a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am that struck the boy on North Street while Kevin was holding his fathers hand while crossing the street. The Miller family had just left a Christmas party they attended at a house on North Street. After the accident, a search for the vehicle began, and was later

located by police. Letteer denied he was involved in the crash, according to police, telling them he was not in Wilkes-Barre on Dec. 21 and that he went from a party in West Wyoming to his girlfriends house in Pittston Township that day. Cellphone records indicate, according to the criminal complaint, that Letteer was in the area of North Street at the time the boy was struck, with cellphone calls being processed through cell towers at Kings College and Public Square in Wilkes-Barre.

Hughestown council discusses summer road work

Annoyance over fireworks flares in Wyoming

HUGHESTOWN Borough officials discussed their intentions to improve road conditions before the end of the summer during Monday nights regular council meeting. Although the need for serious work on several streets was acknowledged, budgetary and resource constraints will limit the work to the patching of the the five worst potholes and streetsweeping for all of the towns roadways, officials said. The anticipated cost is more than $5,000. The borough also intends to have its contracted engineer develop a cost estimate on replacing the sewer line that runs down Rock Street. Mayor Paul Hindmarsh honored the late Felix Rossi, longtime resident and Parks and Recreation Committee member, who died on June 30 at the age of 92. Hindmarsh credited Rossi with spearheading most of the projects at Robert Yaple Park and credited his funding for helping to sustain the Hughestown Little League. The next regular council meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 12.

WYOMING Residents expressed concerns on Tuesday night about the noise, mess and safety issues of neighborhood Fourth of July firework displays. Nicole Moscatelli of Butler Street said she had initially called 911 with a fireworks complaint. An officer was dispatched and advised her to call again if neighbors disregarded his directive to move or stop the fireworks. I did call back when

the nuisance continued, said Moscatelli, but police did not return. Mayor Bob Boyer said the police were involved with an emergency call at that time. Residents attending the meeting said it was expected the borough would enforce Title 35 of the Pennsylvania code, which addresses explosive displays designed for entertainment. Many said the displays posed a threat to children and interfered with the enjoyment of their properties during the holiday. Boyer said he believed the issue went beyond

just fireworks, reflecting continuing conflict between neighbors in that area. He said he would be willing to meet with those residents involved to assist in resolving issues. In another matter, council approved an ordinance formalizing their participation in the West Side Council of Governments. Solicitor Jarrett Ferentino said the participation in the COG

would provide opportunities to engage in a cooperative effort to secure grants and share selected services. The council also approved the purchase of a 2014 Ford sedan for use by the police department. This will make three vehicles available for use by our police department, said Boyer. The next meeting of the Borough Council will be at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 13.

Pittston Area votes to close Franklin Center,move students

Only one board member votes no, stating process too much of a rush
Joe Healey
jhealey@civitasmedia.com

YATESVILLE Incoming kindergarteners to Pittston Area will now start school in the Primary Center after the school board voted Thursday night to close the Ben Franklin Kindergarten Center in Dupont. The board voted 7-1 in favor of the closure, with Joe Kelly casting the lone no vote. He said the rush to close the building was his main concern. There was no time to prepare, it was a complete rush, Kelly said. I didnt think it was fair to the kids, the parents or the staff. He said he understands the building needs to close, but he wanted more time. We dont have the money to put into the building, but the engineer, the expert we spoke to, said we could safely get another year out of the building, he said. We should have waited a year and done it right. An engineer has said that within the next year or two, the roof, carpeting, HVAC, electrical system and re alarm system all need to be upgraded at a cost of $1 million to $1.5 million. A

full renovation of the school would cost $4.2 million to $5.8 million. Superintendent Michael Garzella said the district has already begun the transition process after the public hearing in April. Students underwent orientation at the end of the school year. Teachers can immediately enter the building and arrange for their classrooms to be transferred, Garzella said, if they havent already done that. Board members Charles Sciandra, Kent Bratlee, Bruce Knick, Marilyn Starna, Bob Linskey, Richard Gorzkowski and John Donahue voted in favor of the closure. Tony Guariglia was absent. Donahue compared the closure to when the Pittston Area School District was formed. Boards in Duryea, Jenkins Township and other towns had to close their schools to form the current district, but a great school district was formed. This is a sad day, but its

an important day, Donahue said. Theres a lot of repairs to be done there, and we do have excellent facilities at the Primary Center. Gorzkowski voted yes and urged the administration to use the savings in a proper way. Starna voted yes and hoped the savings would help offset the districts decit. Garzella said all the teachers have been assigned classrooms. Some of the teachers have moved their things. Theyre already starting to get their classrooms ready for the new school year Garzella said. Maintenance is already starting to move the bigger things like smart boards. The transition is going smoothly. He said any useful times will be reallocated. Cafeteria items are being moved to other cafeterias in the district, he said. So is shelving, counters, cookers. If anything is good, well use it The board will have to make a decision on the

future of the building. Garzella said he would recommend selling it as soon as possible to avoid any additional cost of keeping an empty building, such as heat in the colder months and grass and snow maintenance. Stanley Knick, president of Dupont Council, said there is a need for senior

housing in the borough and urged the district to turn over the building to the borough. The cash-strapped borough would unlikely be able to pay any considerable amount of money for the property. Thats a decision the board will have to make in the months to come, Garzella said. Is there value

in the land and the building, for someone to take it over and renovate it or demolish it and rebuild? I would say yes. Theres value in the property. Its close to every-

thing, the airport, the highways. The current plan would be to close the Kindergarten Center and relocate the kindergarten students to the Primary Center in Hughestown, which would then become the home to kindergarten and rst grade. The second-graders would move to the Intermediate Center, which would then house second, third and fourth grades. The fth-graders would move to the adjoining Middle School, which would then handle fth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade. Grades ve and six would be housed on the rst oor of the Middle School and grades seven and eight would be housed on the second oor.

Editorial
Greater Nanticoke Area bravely bucks trend
AT FIRST GLANCE its understandable why some would question the Greater Nanticoke Area School Boards decision to restore elementary school programs cut two years ago in the midst of Gov. Tom Corbetts austere state education budget. Long-time board watcher Hank Marks was spot on when he warned the board that, financially, the district is not out of the woods yet. But a deeper look suggests the board not only did the right thing, but deserves praise for doing it. For starters, elementary physical education, art, music and library programs simply should be. The very notion that those items are always the first considered expendable in many districts should frustrate any who believe a well-rounded education creates a more flexible, innovative adult. Then there is the argument put forth by School Board Education Committee Chair Tony Prushinski that most of the initial cost of restoring the programs from kindergarten through fifth grade can be covered by savings the district realized by bringing some special services classes in house rather than contracting them out to the Luzerne Intermediate Unit. Prushinski did not mention, and Superintendent Tony Perrone prefers it not be highlighted, one other savings: The district has benefited for years from Perrones decision to stay in the post without salary after retiring. And there is the districts surprisingly large fund balance: About $7 million amassed by annually spending less or taking in more (or both) than originally budgeted. This would be impressive enough in any local district, it is particularly noteworthy in Greater Nanticoke, a district that not so long ago was literally on the brink of bankruptcy. Perhaps most remarkably, that $7 million has been reserved by a school district with a total budget hovering around $25 million, which means the fund balance is nearly 30 percent of Greater Nanticoke Areas total budget. In light of those fiscal realities, the district can clearly afford to restore the programs this year with good reason to believe the money will be around to keep them going. Of course, if money gets tight again, the board can cut what it feels needs cutting. But the best reason to laud the boards decision may be the one voiced by Prushinski himself. And its well worth noting that, when he came on the board six years ago, he was eloquent and adamant in his persistent push to raise state test scores, so we are not quoting a man who puts academics second. My fear, Prushinski said, was that we would have a child come to kindergarten and they would have no art or music until sixth or seventh grade.

Beyond the books: Libraries offer so much more

Do you know what your library does? Libraries are far more than a collection of books, as valuable as that service is. They are electronic entities that serve the public in many different ways such as providing opportunities to search for jobs when the user may not have a computer at home. They are reference entities that can offer a variety of materials that can be researched at the library. They have a significant economic impact with the American Library Association noting that for every tax dollar invested in public libraries, there is an average return of more than $4 in benefits to patrons, the community and the economy. Libraries employ around 350,000 librarians and other professionals, paraprofessionals, clerical and technical personnel nationwide. Seven out of 10 Americans say they use public libraries. Perhaps the most dramatic statistic is that five times more people visit United States public libraries each year than attend US professional and college football, baseball, and hockey games combined. In the past decade, visits have more than doubled to 1.2 billion per year with 1.7 billion items borrowed per year. Thanks to increased resources and the E-Rate. More than 95 percent of library buildings offer public access computing, and 14 million Americans use these computers at no fee. Families making less than $15,000 annually are two to three times more likely to rely on library computers than those earning more than $75,000. Libraries are an important source for small businesses. New entrepreneurs across the PoconoNortheast can look at regulations regarding the incorporation of a business, assist with plan development and registration or help small businesses access critical information on finance and product databases, as well as other ways that can assist small business development. Libraries are an asset to a community through the learning experience and provide opportunities for life long learning that would not otherwise be available. Consider the role that the Pittston Memorial Library plays as just one example. Its strength, in part, is serving much like a community center with an explosive set of services that benefits youngsters and adults alike. One example is the recent responsibility of administering the NEPA Intergenerational Coalition which is grandparents raising grandchildren, adding to the grandparent program that this library undertook a few months ago. The variety and scope

LAWMAKERS return to work on Capitol Hill this week, but the record of the 113th Congress so far offers little hope that they can make progress on anything. Last week, legislative inaction allowed interest rates to double on federally subsidized college student loans, even though members on both sides of the aisle agreed that this was a bad idea. Just a few days earlier, a combination of House Republicans and Democrats managed to unite just long enough to kill a farm-aid bill, the sort of measure once considered a sure thing even in times of bitter partisan division. Modest gun control measures, favored by vast majorities in public opinion polls? Forget it. As for the immigration bill, it passed the Senate after a month of debate, but many Republicans in the House are deadset against any provision that offers a path to citizenship for the nations 11 million or so undocumented immigrants. Democrats made clear on Tuesday that this would be a deal-breaker, for obvious reasons: Without the pathway to citizenship, there is no immigration reform. Speaker John Boehner has the power to forge a pro-immigration coalition of Democrats and moderate Republicans to push the bill over the nish line, but he has made it clear that hes unwilling to stick his neck out. Exercising the kind of leadership required to salvage the reform measure would provoke a revolt from the tea party caucus, and Mr. Boehner has not shown any inclination to challenge this element of his party. Thus, another measure designed to resolve a national crisis seems doomed to fail unless wiser heads prevail. Even by the poor standards of the last few years, the Congress that returns to Capitol Hill to begin the second half of its

rst term is doing a remarkably poor job, according to published news reports. By this time in 2011, Congress had passed 23 laws, even then considered a historically low number. But the current Congress is trying its best to do worse, and its succeeding: Only 15 laws have been passed so far this year, but even that gure is misleading. One bill raised the governments borrowing limit, prodding the Senate to pass a budget bill for the rst time in years. But that was months ago, and members of the GOP have blocked efforts to allow House and Senate negotiators to come up with a compromise for the next scal year. The dysfunction in the House extends to the Senate, which failed to pass a gun control provision over background checks, even though it has the support of 90 percent of the public. Republican senators have also blocked President Obamas appointments to ll vacant cabinet and agency positions, including the secretary of Labor, the head of the EPA and director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The common thread is a rejection of compromise and GOP antagonism to President Obama at every turn. One of the few measures to pass the House is a repeal of the presidents healthcare plan, even though such measures are guaranteed to die in the Senate. The victims of this paralysis are students in need of college loans, farmers who rely on stable government policies, the millions who will be left in the lurch by the failure of immigration reform and anyone else who believes government can play a role in improving the common good. The last six months have been awful, but its not too late for the 113th Congress to do better. Approving immigration reform would be a good place to start. The Miami Herald

of services has expanded geometrically over the last few years, and the same can be said for many other libraries in this region. The relationship between the Pittston Memorial Library and the rebirth of the Pittston Central Business District is very clear. The community center theme is a signal that the library plays a functional and exciting role between the two assets. Information is a setting that is easily obtainable from the library and the number of people visiting the library has increased greatly over the years, thus affording better opportunities for enabling a tie in between customer shopping and customer patronage at the library. In 2012, there were over 80,000 visits to the Library. The fact that the library is adding 5175 square feet demonstrates the growth and development of this library as a major component in the building of the infrastructure of Pittston. Join with many others in supporting the expansion and help us reach our goal of raising at least $1.3 million by making a tax deductible check to the Pittston Memorial Library, 47 Broad St., Pittston, Pa. 18640.

Suspect in Sunday fatal shooting in W-B in custody

smocarsky@timesleader.com

Steve Mocarsky

WILKES-BARRE The suspect in the fatal shooting of a city man on Sunday was taken into police custody late Thursday night. City police conrmed Thursday night that Joshua Carlos Ovalles, 19, of Kent Lane, Wilkes-Barre, was in

custody, but they had no information available on details such as whether he was captured or voluntarily surrendered. Nor was arraignment information available. An arrest warrant was issued Wednesday for Ovalles charging him with the deadly shooting of Vaughn Kemp early Sunday morning. Kemp, 24, of Park Avenue, Wilkes-

Barre, was shot multiple times at 174 S. Grant St. at about 1:20 a.m. He died at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township. The criminal complaint accompanying the warrant charges Ovalles with criminal homicide, alleging he was involved in an argument with Kemp prior to the shooting. Police said a large number of people

were running from the house as ofcers arrived. A witness told police Ovalles and Kemp were arguing in front of the house. A number of people came from the rear of the house to the front with groups of people yelling East Side and West Side. Another witness said Ovalles showed up at the party at about 12:30 a.m. telling others that he has a prob-

lem with this guy, I am going to get my gun. Minutes later, two gunshots were heard with Ovalles allegedly holding a gun and Kemp throwing a beer bottle at Ovalles, the complaint says. Kemp ran toward the rear of 174 S. Grant St. as Ovalles allegedly red more shots before driving away in a Honda Civic, according to the complaint.

Gun violence
From page 1A night. No further information was available on his arrest as of press time. Forty Fort Police Chief Daniel Hunsinger had said Ovalles may have been seen in the Butler Street area on Wednesday, but it remained unclear where he was taken into custody on Thursday. Unsolved homicides Two other homicides involving guns remain unsolved. Jamel Martin, 20, and Leroy Smith, 42, were gunned down in front of 131 Scott St. on Jan. 17, and Renold Julien, 26, was fatally shot in front of Locals 88 tavern on Poplar Street on March 16. Arrests have been made in two homicides. Derrick Cottle, 40, was fatally shot on Reno Lane allegedly by Shauntae Thomas, 36, on April 25. Thomas lawyer believes the shooting was selfdefense. Brandon Leigh Switzer, 22, of Nanticoke, was charged with involuntary manslaughter for the shooting death of Zachary Williams, 23, inside a house on North Sherman Street on June 25. Williams was playing with a handgun that Switzer realized was loaded when the gun red, according to arrest papers. Here are a few police reports of gunfire and violence involving firearms in the city: July 10: Gunfire was reported at Academy Street and Carey Avenue. Shell casings were found. No reported injuries.

From page 1A dose of freedom, and I hope hes responsible. Program directors viewpoint Charles Sanders, ARCs program director, said earlier this year Smith suffered some setbacks, but after being held responsible for his actions, seeing doctors, counselors and learning independent living skills, Smith is on his way to success. Sanders said Smith has participated in victims impact panels in York, where he learned from families of victims injured or killed how the crimes altered their lives. Smith, of Pittston, was respected by school administration, faculty and students at his high school in York, and visited Barry University after high school graduation. Thomas Lavan, a juvenile probation ofcer, said Smith has told him he wants to give back to the community by becoming a doctor, and that by doing so, honor McGradys life by doing something good with his. Lavan said a probationary term would be transferred to Dade County, where the university is, and Smith would have to

follow the rules of the probation program there as well as keep in touch with Luzerne County. Smith was declared a delinquent in February 2011 and placed in the York program until he turns 21. Driving too fast Police said Smith was driving 77 mph in a 40-mph zone the night of the Jan. 3, 2011, when his Mitsubishi Eclipse went off a curve on Suscon Road in Pittston Township and ipped. McGrady was ejected and died from her injuries, while another passenger suffered head and neck injuries. Amesbury said he will retain jurisdiction of Smiths case, and if any infraction occurs, Smith will be brought back to Luzerne County. Amesbury also said a status hearing will be held in six months when Smith is home on Christmas vacation, so that he may be updated on Smiths continued progress. Its up to you, McGradys stepfather, Robert Coburn, said. I feel youve learned a lot and will be able to take the next step forward.

Suit
From page 1A General Counsel, which is under the governor, is accustomed to handling the states legal affairs and routinely hires outside lawyers to either defend state laws or prosecute lawsuits on behalf of the state. For instance, the ofce is helping in the defense of Pennsylvanias year-old voter identication law and it handled Corbetts anti-trust lawsuit, now thrown out of federal court, seeking to undo the NCAA sanctions against Penn State relating to the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal. Pennsylvania is the only northeastern state that does not allow samesex marriage or civil unions. The lawsuit, in the works since January, was not prompted by the U.S. Supreme Courts pair of decisions three weeks ago ruling on aspects of gay marriage. A 1996 state law denes

From page 1A north of Shaha-Dong, near Seoul. Those remains were buried in the United Nations Cemetery at Tanggok, South Korea, but that proved temporary. The remains were disinterred and transferred to the U.S. Armys Central Identication Unit in Kokura, Japan, about 330 miles from Seoul. The remains were declared unidentiable and transferred to Hawaii to be interred as unknown at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacic, a monument set in an ancient crater known as the Punchbowl formed at least 75,000 years ago from the eruption of hot lava in old coral reefs. In 2012, Fishers records were re-evaluated, with ofcials coming to believe positive identication would be possible using modern techniques. The remains were exhumed and analyzed using circumstantial evidence and forensic identication tools such as dental comparison and chest radiograph, a press release notes. The ndings matched Fisher. Presumed dead in 1953 According to information on the genforum at genealogy.com, Fisher was ofcially presumed dead on Dec. 31, 1953, and accounted for on March 14 this year. He received seven awards: the Purple Heart, the Combat Infantrymans Badge, the Korean Service Medal, the United Nations Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Presidential Unit Citation and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal. The Department of Defense release notes the family asked not to be contacted. Fishers name is also inscribed on the Korean War Memorial unveiled in 1992 outside the Luzerne County Courthouse. Nino Sartini, who was instrumental in getting the memorial, remembered Fishers name but didnt recall details about him, though he noted the timing of Fishers nal burial coincides with the annual commemorative service marking the end of that conict, set for 11 a.m. July 27 at the courthouse. Bob Alper, a Korean War veteran who has chaired that ceremony in recent years, noted that two other Luzerne County residents who had been missing in action in Korea were identied in the past few years, but that there are still about 8,000 missing. Alper said he hopes to learn more about Fisher in time to honor him in the July 27 ceremony.

marriage as a civil contract in which a man and a woman take each other as husband and wife. The state also does not allow civil unions or recognize same-sex marriages from other states where it is legal. Recent polls show a growing majority are in favor of gay marriage in Pennsylvania, even though bills to legalize gay marriage have gone nowhere in recent years in the Legislature. Kane had signaled her support of gay marriage during her campaign, but the ACLU, which is co-counsel in the lawsuit, was still unsure how she might respond to it, said staff attorney Mary Catherine Roper. This is a huge boost, Roper said. Youve got the chief law enforcement ofcer of the commonwealth saying youre right. This is not legal. I think its a sign that things are changing.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Patriots cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was arrested and accused of drunk driving Thursday in Nebraska while on probation for assaulting a police ofcer, the second New England player to get in serious legal trouble this summer. Dennards earlymorning arrest Dennard in Lincoln, Neb., where he was a college star for the Cornhuskers, came 15 days after Aaron Hernandez was charged with murder and three days after Patriots owner Robert Kraft said the club will be looking at our procedures and auditing how we do things with regard to character reviews. The New England Patriots are extremely disappointed to learn of Alfonzo Dennards arrest. We take this matter very seriously and are working to get more information on the incident, the team said in a statement. Dennards arrest is his second in 15 months. He hasnt served a 30-day jail sentence for the assault outside a Lincoln bar on Apr. 21, 2012. That is scheduled to begin next March. He also was sentenced to two years of probation. Hernandez, a star tight end, was arrested on June 26 and charged with murder in the killing of Boston semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. Hernandez has pleaded not guilty. The Patriots cut Hernandez after he was arrested and before the charges were announced. Dennard and Hernandez both were highly-touted college prospects whose draft stock dropped because of character concerns. Seven days after being charged with assault, Dennard was drafted in the seventh round last year out of Nebraska by the Patriots. They drafted Hernandez in the fourth round in 2010 after he violated the substance abuse policy at Florida. If this stuff is true, then Ive been duped and our whole organization has been duped, Kraft said Monday of the case involving Hernandez. The team did not respond to a request Thursday for Krafts reaction to Dennards arrest. The legal issues are bound to hover over the opening of training camp on July 25. Coach Bill Belichick rarely comments on such matters and instructs his players to do the same. Belichick has sometimes signed players who had troubles elsewhere if he felt they could help the team win, hoping his disciplined approach and leaders such as Tom Brady and Vince Wilfork and now-retired Patriots including Tedy Bruschi and Mike Vrabel could keep them in line. Results have been mixed. Running back Corey Dillon and wide receiver Randy Moss, disgruntled on their previous teams, avoided off-eld problems with the Patriots and were productive for several seasons. Chad Johnson, then known as Chad Ochocinco, caught just 15 passes in his only season with the Patriots in 2011 but caused no off-eld distractions. Dennard became a starter at cornerback in the seventh game of his rookie season. The other starter, Aqib Talib, was obtained from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Nov. 1 then signed a one-year contract on March 16. He missed his rst game with the Patriots while completing a four-game suspension imposed by the NFL for violating its policy on performance-enhancing substances. Talib had been suspended without pay for the 2010 opener and ned one additional game check for violating the NFLs personal-conduct policy. That followed an altercation with a St.

MOOSIC One wayward pitch may have broken open the game. But it hardly broke Michael Pinedas spirit. At times Thursday, the promising New York Yankees prospect ashed the brilliance

that made him an All-Star pitcher with Seattle, despite absorbing a 7-1 loss to lowly Syracuse during his rst non-rehabilitation start with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. I was feeling really good tonight, said Pineda, an imposing 6-foot-7, 260-pound righthanded starting pitcher who was acquired by the Yankees last year in the trade that sent Jesus Montero to the Mariners. I had good control, good location tonight.

He had a point. Pineda, who didnt pitch all of last season after undergoing shoulder surgery to repair an interior labral tear near the end of spring trainng, looked sharp at the start. He was dominant over the rst three innings Thursday, working three hitless inning and retiring 12 of the rst 15 batters he faced through the fourth frame. The rst two runners against him reached base on errors, and demoted Washington Nationals ineld-

er Danny Espinosa tagged Pineda for a solo homer and a 1-0 Syracuse lead in the fourth. After that blow, though, Pineda recovered quickly by striking out two batters and elding a weak come-backer in succession. Im feeling great, Pineda said, good command, good slider, good changeup. Then it all unraveled quickly on him. Syracuse loaded the bases to start the fth, when Zach Walters singled, Kelly

Shoppach walked and Chris Rahl was hit by a pitch. Pineda followed by drilling Eury Perez in the elbow, forcing Perez from the game and forcing Walters home with a 2-0 Syracuse lead. The rst guy I hit with a pitch, that one was a slider, Pineda said. The next guy, that was a fastball inside. Sorry for him, he was hit pretty good. Tyler Moore followed with a pretty good hit, a grand slam that broke the game open.

After being sidelined for nine months, Yankees leaves first game back with injury

Jeters triumphant return short-lived

Ronald Blum

NEW YORK Derek Jeter walked to home plate, toyed with his batting gloves, stepped into the batters box as fans chanted his name and legged out an ineld hit. A feeling of normalcy returned to the Yankee Stadium. The captain was back after a nine-month layoff. But, perhaps, only for a few innings. Jeter singled on his rst pitch of the season, then felt a tight right quadriceps and was pulled for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning of New Yorks 8-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday. He scored a run and went 1 for 4 with an RBI groundout as the designated hitter in his return from a broken ankle sustained in last Octobers American League Championship Series opener. After icing the leg, the 39-year-old was headed to a hospital for a scan. In a season thus far memorable for sidelined stars rather than sustained success, the Yankees anxiously awaited the test results. Its not frustrating, yet. Well see. They MRI everything around here, Jeter said. I hope its not a big deal.

Sill, Thompson resign with Pens

among Pittsburghs forward lines via free agency, Sill has a legitimate chance to see NHL time this season for the rst time in his pro career. He has spent the last four years with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, and last season he posted four goals and ve assists in 57 games and also saw extensive time on the penalty kill. Sill joined the organization as an undrafted free agent in 2009 and has 67 points in 259 career AHL games. Sills best season came in 2010-11 when he recorded career highs in
Sill Thompson

Two familiar faces will return to the Pittsburgh Penguins organization this season, and one could become the longesttenured Wilkes-Barre/Scranton player on this years roster. Pittsburgh resigned forwards Zach Sill and Paul Thompson on earlier this week to one year contracts. Sill, 25, and Thompson, 24, both inked two-way deals worth $550,000 at the NHL level. With several openings

games played (80), goals (11), assists (19), points (30) and rating (plus-16). Thompson completed his second full season with WilkesBarre/Scranton and hit the 20-goal plateau while adding nine assists in 58 games. His 20 goals were good

enough for fth-most on the team, and third-most among players who spent the entire season with WBS. Thompson added six points on three goals and three assists in 15 playoff games. The 6-foot-1, 198-pound forward has played two-plus seasons with Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton since being signed as an undrafted free agent on March 28, 2011. Thompson broke into the professional ranks with the Penguins near the end of the 10-11 campaign, collecting three points

(1G-2A) in six regular-season games and one helper in four postseason contests. A Methuen, New Hampshire native, Thompson has tallied 57 points (31G-26A) in 131 AHL regular-season games, while adding 10 points (5G5A) in 31 career postseason games.

Cavendish no longer fastest Tour man on 2 wheels

John Leicester
AP Sports Writer

TOURS, France At this Tour de France, it is Marcel Kittel and no longer Mark Cavendish who is looking like the fastest man on two wheels. Everything was primed on Thursday for Cavendish to win a 25th Tour stage in his illustrious career. His beefy teammate from Belgium, Gert Steegmans, did his job to perfection, guiding Cavendish into position for the nal sprint to the line in Tours in the Loire AP Photo valley. Marcel Kittel, right, crosses the finish line just ahead of Mark Cavendish, But Cavendish simply wasnt See DENNARD | 6B left, to win the Stage 12 of the Tour de France in Tours, France, on Thursday. quick enough. Kittel overtook

him just before the line. That this was a man-to-man contest, fair and square with no excuses, made the Germans victory feel more signicant than the winning margin of mere inches. He was just simply faster, Cavendish conceded. I can go back and look over and over again. I dont think myself or the team could have done anything different. He was just simply better, you know? It would be foolish and premature to suggest the Cavendish era at the Tour is ending. He is still by far the most successful stage winner still active.

Two of the riders with more stage wins Bernard Hinault (28) and Eddy Merckx (34) are long retired. The third, Andre Leducq (25), died in 1980. Cavendish came to this Tour with 23, the number is written in green on the black bike he rode Thursday. He won his 24th last week in Marseille and could still get to 25 and match Leducqs total at this Tour. The last stage, especially, on the Champs-Elysees in Paris almost always offers a golden opportunity for sprinters. Cavendish is unbeaten on those cobblestones since 2009. See TOUR | 6B

Times Leader Correspondent
Its a rather lack luster fourteen race slate this evening at The Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, with most of the harness racing world focused on the Meadowlands this weekend with all kinds of exciting stakes action taking place. Can Captraintreacherous win yet another major stake race in the $637,500 Meadowlands Pace? Is anyone going to be able to upset the freakish Warawee Needy in the $471,800 Hauhgton Final? Just two of the great races on an action packed Saturday night card at the Big M. Its also great knowing we will be seeing these horses again at Pocono with the upcoming Super Stakes Saturday in August and of course the Breeders Crown in October.

Kenny Perry tied for lead at US Senior Open

The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. Kenny Perry shot a 3-under 67 on Thursday and is tied for the lead at the U.S. Senior Open, putting together a solid start in his bid for a second straight win in a senior major. Perry, who won the Senior Players Championship two weeks ago at Fox Chapel, Pa., made ve birdies against two bogeys at Omaha Country Club. He has plenty of company atop a crowded leaderboard. Michael Allen and Jay Don blake also shot a 67 in the morning, and Gary Hallberg, Mark OMeara, Tom Lehman and Fred Funk posted the same score in the afternoon. There had never been as many as seven co-leaders after the rst round at a U.S. Senior Open. The previous record was ve in 1997. Lehman had the shot of the day, chipping in from 45 feet for birdie on the 18th hole. OMeara, the 1998 Masters and british Open champion, had a chance to take the outright lead on the last hole but was short with his 10-footer for birdie. Hallbergs 67 was his lowest score in six U.S. Senior Open appearances. He started on the back nine and birdied three of his rst ve holes. Funk, who won this event in 2009 and was runner-up last year, had 13 pars and four birdies. Allen made ve birdies and an eagle but also four bogeys while blake played the par-5s in 4 under and required only 25 putts. Defending champion Roger Chapman struggled with his putter and was seven shots behind after a 74. The hills at the 6,700-yard Omaha Country Club took a toll on the eld of golfers age 50 and over, especially in the afternoon as temperatures reached the upper 80s. So did the small and undulating greens, which browned up in the heat and proved dicey. Chien Soon Lu, Peter Senior, Rocco Mediate and 2010 champion bernhard Langer shots 68s and were one back of the leaders. Colin Montgomery, who turned 50 last month and is playing in his second senior event, had a 69 and was in a pack of players two shots behind. Tom Watson, who played with Langer and Montgomerie and drew the largest galleries of the day, struggled with his irons while shooting a 70 that included one birdie and one bogey. Fred Couples, coming off three straight runner-up nishes on the Champions Tour, had strokes ahead of top-ranked Inbee Park. Park is trying to become the rst golfer to win four straight LPGA Tour events since Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Park was joined by American Irene Cho, Spains belen Mozo and South Koreas Hee Young Park and Meena Lee at 65. American Ryann OToole and South Koreans Jenny Shin, Amy Yang and Ji Young Oh were three shots off the lead at 66. Defending champion brittany Lang opened with a 69. Mickelson shoots 6-under 66 at Scottish Open INVeRNeSS, SCOTLAND Phil Mickelson quickly hit his stride at the Scottish Open on Thursday, shooting 6-under 66 to sit two strokes off John Parrys lead midway through the rst round. Rebounding from a threeputt for bogey on his rst hole, Mickelson breezed around the Castle Stuart course under blue skies and little wind to post six birdies and an eagle at No. 12. Mickelson is seeking his rst win in europe in 20 years, while using the event as a warmup or next weeks british Open at Muireld. Parry, ranked No. 471, led the way after shooting an 8-under 64 in the second group out. Simon Khan shot 65.

You can say we apologized for it but I think an apology rings hollow when you run into the back of a police car or youre blowing a blood alcohol limit thats three times the legal limit. I dont think fans, I dont think the public, I dont think anybody wants to hear an apology, ellis told the AP. So, I think you have to acknowledge your mistakes and you have to x them and you have to do that the right way, ellis said. Theres a lot of things we do. We offer programs, we offer a lot of help, theres a ton of stuff the National Football League makes available to all the teams in an effort for them to avoid this kind of thing. In this case, we had two guys that couldnt do it. And thats just sad. Thats too bad. but were going to move on and our hope is that you wont see this kind of incident from an employee again. After Heckerts arrest became public, social

media blew up with negative comments directed at the broncos, many of them critical of the teams decision to keep Heckerts arrest quiet. Former center Tom Nalen, who is going into the teams Ring of Fame this fall, called them cowardly in a tweet, although he later backtracked on his radio show. Like any other business, the broncos werent inclined to publicize a DUI charge facing an employee who wasnt a senior executive. Well, we handle those things internally, ellis said. When they become external, then we deal with them. but were not in the business of announcing those kinds of things before they need to be addressed. And we were in consultation with the league all along and in terms of internal communication everybody understood it. everybody that was involved. everybody that needed to know. The broncos havent faced this kind of backlash since the infamous videotape scandal that led to coach Josh McDaniels ouster three years ago, after which elway was brought on board to x the franchise.

Belize players reject offer to fix Gold Cup game

Brady McCombs
Associated Press

SALT LAKe CITY A man who allegedly offered three belize players large sums of money to x a CONCACAF Gold Cup match against the United States was already being watched by international soccer ofcials, the teams coach said Thursday. The players Ian Gaynair, Woodrow West and Andres Makin said they rejected the offer and immediately reported it. When a CONCACAF representative showed them a photo of a man being monitored for trying to x matches in other countries, the belize players conrmed it was the same man

who had approached them. There was no immediate comment from CONCACAF, the regional federation representing North and Central America and the Caribbean. So this isnt just about our country or a onetime thing, coach Ian Mork said after the teams practice. This is something much bigger. belize is last in Group C after its 6-1 loss to the U.S. on Tuesday night. It faces Costa Rica on Saturday and nishes group play Tuesday against Cuba in east Hartford, Conn. Mork and the players said Gaynair, West and Makin were approached earlier this week in Portland, Ore.,

where they played the Americans, by a man who had also been at their hotel in Guatemala City in June when the Jaguars faced Guatemala in an exhibition. He was wanting to become friends and come visit belize, Mork said. Then all of sudden he also showed up in Portland. It was through this kind of friendship of wanting to support the belize team. It was obviously part of a plan to target our players. Mork and the players wouldnt give specics about the offer, referring questions to CONCACAF. Gaynair, a defender who scored belizes lone goal against the U.S., said only that the

man asked them to assure him that we would lose the match. West, a goalie, conrmed the basics of the accounts he rst gave to a belize TV station this week, saying the man offered him money, but no specic amount, to sell the game against the U.S. We turned the offer down. We did what we were supposed to, West said. FIFA has control of that now. Mork said he doesnt believe the players were asked to x any other games beside Tuesdays match against the U.S. Were just trying our best to compete at this level, said Mork, an

American. I could see how they would be targets, I guess, but our minds dont really go there. It was a big shock. FIFA has estimated that xers make more than $5 billion in prots each year from manipulating matches across all sports, which attract hundreds of billions in wagers with legal and unlicensed operators. The Gold Cup can be a particularly attractive target because of the disparity in the level of competition. Lopsided scores are to be expected when World Cup regulars play small nations like belize, which is making its rst appearance in the Gold Cup and has only two players who play professionally.

Arizona Los Angeles Colorado San Diego San Francisco

PHILADELPHIA Kyle Kendrick outpitched All-Star Jordan Zimmermann, pinchhitter Kevin Frandsen hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 3-1 Thursday night. Kendrick (8-6) allowed one run and ve hits in seven innings to help Philadelphia take three of four from the defending NL East champions. The Phillies are 7-3 since July 2, including series wins over rst-place Pittsburgh and Atlanta, to pull within 1 games of the second-place Nationals and one game of .500. Zimmermann (12-4) gave up two runs and eight hits, striking out six in 6 1-3 innings. Antonio Bastardo pitched a perfect eighth and Jonathan Papelbon nished for his 20th save in 24 tries. Papelbon blew two saves against the Nationals last month and allowed two runs in a 3-2 win Monday night. Braves 6, Reds 5 ATLANTA Freddie Freeman celebrated his newly won All-Star berth by driving in four runs with three hits and the Atlanta Braves beat Mat Latos and the Cincinnati Reds. Freeman held off Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig to win the fan voting for the nal spot on NL All-Star roster. The rst baseman drove in two runs with a rst-inning double and added run-scoring singles in the second and fourth innings. Justin Upton also had three hits to help Tim Hudson (6-7) earn his second straight win. Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth for his 25th save. Latos (8-3) lasted only four innings in his shortest start of the season. Braves right elder Jason Heyward left the game in the second inning with a strained right hamstring.

and the Chicago White Sox defeated Detroit in a game that included a bench-clearing incident. Chicago trailed 3-1 when Phegley connected off Anibal Sanchez (7-6). Luke Putkonen came on and got one out before throwing a pitch behind Alexei Ramirez, who started toward the mound before being restrained. The benches and bullpens emptied, but the situation didnt really escalate. Sale (6-8) allowed three runs in 6 2-3 innings. Addison Reed pitched the ninth for his 23rd save in 27 chances. Miguel Cabrera hit his 30th homer of the year, a solo shot in the fth that gave the Tigers a 3-1 lead. Prince Fielder was up next, and Sale threw a pitch high and inside to the Detroit slugger. Rays 4, Twins 3 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Matt Moore won his 13th game this season, Luke Scott and Evan Longoria consecutive homers and the surging Tampa Bay Rays beat Minnesota for their eighth straight win. Moore (13-3), who was added to the AL All-Star team after initially being left off, gave up three runs and three hits while striking out 10 over 7 1-3 innings. He won his fth straight start and setting a team record for victories before the All-Star break. Jake McGee got his rst save pitching a scoreless ninth. Scott and Longoria hit solo shots in a span of three pitches off Mike Pelfrey (4-7) as the Rays took a 3-1 lead in the sixth.

This Date In Baseball

July 12 1901 Cy Young of the Boston Red Sox won his 300th game with a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia As. 1945 Tommy Holmes of the Boston Braves went hitless to end his consecutive-game hitting streak at 37 games, an NL record that stood until Pete Rose broke it in 1978. 1949 Larry Doby of the Cleveland Indians and Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Don Newcombe of the host Brooklyn Dodgers became the first black players to appear in an All-Star game as the AL took advantage of five NL errors to win 11-7 at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. 1951 Allie Reynolds of the New York Yankees beat Bob Feller of the Indians 1-0 with a no-hit game at Cleveland. Gene Woodlings home run was the difference. 1955 St. Louis Stan Musial hit Frank Sullivans first pitch of the 12th inning for a home run to give the NL All-Star team a 6-5 victory over the AL at Milwaukees County Stadium. The AL had led 5-0 after six innings. 1979 In the most ill-fated promotion in baseball history, thousands of fans overran the Comiskey Park field during Disco Demolition Night and caused the Chicago White Sox to forfeit the second game of a doubleheader after losing to Detroit 4-1 in the first. 1990 Melido Perez pitched the record-tying seventh no-hitter of the season as the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees 8-0 in a game shortened to six innings by rain. That was one inning longer than the rain-shortened no-hitter pitched in 1988 by Melidos brother Pascual, who watched from the Yankees bench. 1994 Tony Gwynn barely slipped past Ivan Rodriguez on Moises Alous double in the 10th inning to give the NL an 8-7 victory and end its record six-game losing streak in the All-Star game. Fred McGriffs two-run homer in the ninth off Lee Smith had tied it and earned him MVP honors. 1997 Francisco Cordova and Ricardo Rinco combined for a 10 inning no-hitter as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Houston Astros 3-0. Cordova pitched nine innings, walking two and striking out 10, before being removed with the score 0-0. Rincon pitched the 10th and got the win when Mark Smith hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the inning. 2001 Mark McGwire hit his 563rd homer to tie Reggie Jackson for sixth on baseballs career list in a 7-5 loss to the Tigers. It was also McGwires 200th homer since joining the Cardinals at the trade deadline in 1997, making him the third player in history to hit 200 homers in both leagues. 2005 Miguel Tejada and Mark Teixeira led the American League to a 7-5 win over the National League 7-5 in Detroit for its eighth straight win. Tejada, the games MVP, homered off John Smoltz to start the scoring and Teixeira added a two-run drive off Dontrelle Willis.

Unassuming Locke among unlikeliest All-Stars

AP Sports Writer

Will Graves

PITTSBURGH Jeff Locke understands the entire premise is borderline preposterous. Four months ago, the 25-year-old left-hander was simply hoping to escape spring training with a spot at the back end of the Pittsburgh Pirates starting rotation. Now hes elding questions about whether hed feel comfortable appearing in the All-Star game on one days rest. No, seriously. Every once in a while, theres a little reality check, Locke said. The reality, for the moment, is that Locke is one of baseballs biggest surprises. With one start remaining before jetting off to New York, Locke is 8-2 with a 2.15 ERA, second-best in the NL behind Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw. To be honest, Locke is so surprised about his rapid ascension from question mark to steadying presence, he says he doesnt really care. If he pitches on Tuesday night, great. If he spends a couple days star gazing in the Big Apple and giving his arm some time off, thats just ne, too. My main focus is here, it will always be here, Locke said while surrounded by reporters in the Pittsburgh clubhouse on Wednesday afternoon. Id like to go AP Photo there and play some catch Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jeff Locke delivers a pitch to the plate against the Oakland with some of those guys Athletics on Monday in Pittsburgh. but thats about it.

In a game designed to showcase baseballs household names, Locke may need to wear an ID tag just to get inside Citi Field. With his mop-top of brown hair and slight build, Locke looks more like a high schooler than one of the bright lights of the seasons rst half. Yet dont let the slender 6-foot, 185-pound frame or the kid-next-door grin fool you. Locke isnt one for selfpromotion, but he never doubted he could excel in the big leagues if given the opportunity. Hes always felt hes got the skills, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. Hes always had that condence. He came in this year ready to hunt, ready to go earn something and get something and hes backed that up with his performance. One thats considerably outshined his higher prole teammates. Lockes locker inside the Pittsburgh clubhouse is sandwiched or more technically, smushed in between the franchises present and future. Current staff ace and unquestioned leader A.J. Burnetts sprawling estate lies to the left. Rookie and former No. 1 pick Gerrit Coles still relatively sparse digs are to the right. In the middle sits the ofce of one of the National Leagues most unlikely All-Stars, a quiet but self-assured son of New Hampshire who has bafed hitters through 18 starts with a mixture of pinpoint precision and guile.

Its nothing you didnt think you couldnt do, Locke said. You just hadnt done it yet. While Burnett and Cole spend baseballs midsummer break taking a breather before the second half, Locke will be in New York City rubbing elbows with the games elite, some of whom probably didnt know his name when the season began. They most certainly do now, heady territory for a former second-round pick considered a throw-in when Atlanta shipped Locke,

Charlie Morton and Gorkys Hernandez to the Pirates in 2009 for All-Star outelder Nate McLouth. He was picked as the Pirates minor league pitcher of the year in 2012 after going 10-5 for Triple-A Indianapolis. Injuries at the big league level forced Pittsburgh to thrust Locke into the middle of the playoff race last September, with unremarkable results. The Pirates lost each of Lockes rst ve starts during a late swoon that sent them tumbling to a 20th straight losing season.

Ohio State president slow to apologize

Andrew Welsh-Huggins
Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio Former Ohio State University President Gordon Gee took his time apologizing for remarks he made that were critical of the University of Notre Dame, Roman Catholics and Southeastern Conference schools, among several of his targets during off-the-cuff comments last year, records show. Although university trustees directed Gee in a March 11 letter to begin issuing personal apologies promptly, he didnt make the rst of those apologies until May 20 during a previously scheduled meeting with the bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus, according to a copy of Gees calendar obtained by The Associated Press through a records request. Gee followed that meeting with a series of apologetic phone calls to presidents and other ofcials at several uni-

versities he jabbed in Dec. 5 remarks to the universitys Athletic Council. Those apologies included a May 21 trip to Notre Dame to meet in person with the universitys president, the Rev. John Jenkins, according to the calendar and ofcials at Ohio State and other universities. The university declined to directly address the delay and instead referred to the events detailed by the calendar. Dr. Gee made his apologies as outlined, said university spokeswoman Gayle Saunders. The apologies began after the university reviewed the APs May 13 request for the audiotape and just days before the AP rst reported on the remarks on May 30. Saunders wouldnt comment on that timing. Gee, 69, retired July 1. He will remain at the university as a law professor, but details of his retirement package havent been released. Ohio State, one of the countrys biggest universi-

ties with 65,000 students, has named provost Joseph Alutto as interim president. The university continues our focus on the strategic direction of the university under the leadership of Interim President Alutto, said Saunders, who said she was speaking for the university and Gee. Asked

for comment, Gee deferred to Saunders in an email Thursday. In the audiotaped remarks to the Athletic Council, Gee criticized Notre Dame, saying the university was never invited to join the Big Ten because the schools religious leaders are not good partners.

Gee, a Mormon, also jokingly referred to those damn Catholics, lampooned the academic integrity of the University of Louisville and Southeastern Conference schools, singling out the University of Kentucky. He alleged that University of Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez considered former Wisconsin football coach Bret Bielema a thug. Gee also made mildly disparaging remarks about Alvarez and Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany. Gee also laughingly suggested that someone would have to shoot Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith before Smith would allow the University of Cincinnati to join the Big Ten. Trustees learned of the remarks in late January and following a series of meetings with Gee directed him in the March 11 letter to make amends. Among those requirements: Issuing personal apologies, as appropriate, to any group that you have offended.

Olympic lobbying bandwagon heads to Africa

ATLANTA Warren Spahns son doesnt want to choose a sole heir among his ve children, so he has put his fathers 1957 Cy Young award on the market. Greg Spahn, the only child to baseballs career winningest left-hander, will have more than 800 items most of Warrens Spahns memorabilia collection sold in 406 separate lots at a live auction that begins Monday at the Javits Center in New York. I just felt like the time is right, Greg Spahn said. With everything that we sell, Ill split the proceeds with the kids. Hunt Auctions has a price range between $75,000 and $125,000 for the Cy Young Award. Other expensive items include a 1958 National League championship ring, 300th career victory ball and Spahns personal Hall of Fame ring. The event is being held in conjunction with Tuesdays All-Star game at Citi Field. Greg Spahn is retired from real estate sales and investments, but said he wants extra college money for his children. He added that his father, who died in 2003, did not want the memorabilia to become a burden. Greg Spahn, who lives on the family ranch in Broken Arrow, Okla., has moved hundreds of bats, uniforms, hats, cards, plaques and more three different times. Gregg Spahn said he has never sold anything from the collection. Weve had it either on display in two museums or stored in two houses, and then theres concerns like security and condition, Spahn said. Im turning 65 in October, so the time is right to reintroduce my dad to the public. A lot of people dont know what all he

accomplished and some dont know much about him at all. Many of Warren Spahns achievements still stand today. His 363 victories rank fth on the career list, his 63 shutouts rank sixth and his 5,200-plus innings pitched rank eighth. He was on the NL All-Star team 14 years and won 20 games an NL-record 13 times. After being awarded a Purple Heart and ghting in World War II, Spahn returned to baseball at the age of 25, and the following year he went 21-10 with an NL-leading 2.33 ERA for the 1947 Boston Braves. His pitching helped Boston win the NL pennant that season, and his 21 victories and 2.68 ERA in 57 were instrumental in the Milwaukee Braves World Series championship against the New York Yankees. Spahn was 44 when he retired in 1965. The Atlanta Braves have kept the Cy Young award in their hall of fame, and Greg Spahn says it will return to Turner Field if he doesnt get an acceptable price. I have tremendous affection for the Braves and way theyve recognized my fathers career, he said. They retired his number, they erected a statue outside the stadium and have done so much to keep his legacy alive.

LONDON The Olympic bandwagon heads to Africa this week with bid cities, presidential candidates and sports federations chasing votes in the final weeks of their election campaigns. A meeting of African Olympic committees in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, will be a hotbed of lobbying among the three cities bidding for the 2020 Olympics, the six contenders for IOC president and the three sports vying for a spot in the 2020 Games. All three races are revving up ahead of the IOC voting in early September in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The bid cities Istanbul, Madrid and Tokyo and the presidential candidates made presentations last week to International Olympic Committee members in

Lausanne, Switzerland. There will be no presentations during the two-day general assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa, which opens today. But candidates will be on site to stump for votes in the hallways, lobbies, bars and restaurants. Also attending will be IOC President Jacques

Rogge, making the latest stop on his farewell tour before he steps down in September after 12 years in office. African votes could be

key in deciding the elections, starting with the 2020 host city decision on Sept. 7. I think the three bids are very close to

each other, Rogge said in a conference call on Wednesday. There is very little separation between the three bids. Its going to be a tight race.

From page 1A Overbay hit a go-ahead, two-run single in a fourrun fth against Ervin Santana (5-6) as New York overcame a 3-0 decit and split the four-game series. New York cut short the star shortstops rehabilitation assignment in the minor leagues after just four games following injuries Wednesday night to Travis Hafner and Brett Gardner, who hit for Jeter in the eighth. Jeter found out about 11 p.m. in Scranton, went back to his hotel, waited for his equipment and caught a ride to New York. He arrived about 2:30 a.m., fell asleep 90 minutes later. And then woke up about 6:30 a.m. only partly because of the early schedule he had been on during his rehabilitation routine. Couldnt fall back asleep, he said. I was nervous going into the game. Its almost like its opening day for me, even though were in what are we in, July now? I lost track of the months. Jeter batted second in his rst big league game since Oct. 13. He said after the initial injury he would return by opening day, then fractured the ankle again in April during his rehab and missed the rst 91 games of the season. Jeter turned on a 95 mph fastball in the rst I had my mind made up yesterday that I was going to swing at the rst pitch and sent a three-hopper up the third-base line that fell from Miguel Tejadas throwing hand. The crowd of 40,381 screamed De-rek Je-ter! De-rek Je-ter! Jeters ankle got more tests when he raced to third on Robinson Canos single up the middle and came home without a throw on Vernon Wells sacrice y to right. The Yankees all-time hits leader grounded out in the second and again in the fth, when second baseman Johnny Giavotella made a diving stop to prevent an RBI single. Thats when the quad tightened. Jeter hit a sharp grounder to shortstop with the ineld in during the sixth. Alcides Escobar bobbled the ball as Luis Cruz scored from third, and Jeter was thrown out as he jogged up the rst-base line. He looked the same, Santana said. Very aggressive.

THE T.L. EXPRESS

It was a rough night for Yankees prospect Michael Pineda, who was on an injury rehab until being optioned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this week. Pineda, the promising pitcher acquired in the Jesus Montero trade, at times ashed the brilliance that put him in Seattles starting rotation two years ago and simply fell apart at others Thursday. Pineda pitched no-hit ball through his rst three innings and struck out ve. He also hit two batters and was battered for two homers, spelling doom for both Pineda and the RailRiders. RailRiders at the plate: Randy Ruiz provided the teams long run with a long bomb over the left-center eld fence for his 10th homer within a month. David Adams had a triple for his rst hit during his second game back in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after coming down from the parent Yankees and leadoff man Adonis Garcia had a pair of singles in his rst two trips to the plate. RailRiders on the mound: Michael Pineda pitched three innings of no-hit ball before surrendering two homers and six home runs over the next two innings, including Tyler Moores grand slam. Chase Whitley did another credible job out of the bullpen with 2 1/3 innings of scoreless ball, and Matt Daley struck out two hitters in the eighth inning. Mike Zagurski allowed a run, but struck out the side in the ninth inning and

Known for trying to ignore most injuries, Jeter vowed not to this time. Sort of. I cant trick the tests, he said, before adding: I always play. He played through September and into October last year with what was called a bone bruise. The left ankle nally gave out in the ALCS opener against Detroit. I dont think it broke because I was 38. I think it broke because I continued to play on something that maybe I shouldnt have, Jeter said. The possible setback is not what the Yankees were hoping for in a season also hampered by signicant injuries to rst baseman Mark Teixeira, outelder Curtis Granderson and catcher Francisco Cervelli. Its kind of what we went through this year, manager Joe Girardi said. So hopefully its nothing, its just some leg tightness and hell be ready to go. Andy Pettitte (7-6) settled down after another shaky rst inning to win consecutive starts for the rst time since April. Lyle

Riding the Rails:

left the bases loaded. Hittin hard: In a game of longball, Moore provided the biggest blow with his grand slam blast in the fth inning. It came just after an apparent run that scored on a passed ball was called back when the umpire ruled Moore had actually gotten a piece of the pitch with his swing on a foul tip. His next swing broke the game open. Defensive play: Jeff Kobernus, just inserted into the game as a replacement after Eury Perez was drilled with a pitch, made a spectacular diving catch of a sinking liner off the bat of David Adams to take away a hit and end the sixth inning.

Tour
From page 1A Still, the 28-year-old rider must have been hoping for better from this 100th edition of the race. Since his rst victory in 2008, he has always won multiple stages at every Tour. In 2009, he won six. Cavendish switched teams this year from Sky to Omega PharmaQuick Step because he wanted to be even more successful at the Tour, specically. Unlike at Sky, which last year focused its resources on Tour winner Bradley Wiggins and, at this Tour, race leader Chris Froome, Omega has built its team around Cavendish. Yet, aside from his win in Stage 5, this isnt proving to be a vintage Tour for Cavendish. He had a heavy cold in the rst week. He collided with Tom Veelers, knocking the Dutch rider off his bike, in the sprint nish of Stage 10. Cavendish insisted it wasnt intentional. The next day, a spectator doused him in urine during the time trial. But perhaps worst of all is that Kittel is dominating Cavendish. The ArgosShimano sprinter has three wins at this Tour. That makes a total of ve for German riders, with Tony Martin winning the time trial and Andre Greipel winning a sprint on Stage 6. As we say in Germany, good things come in three, Kittel said. Rolf Aldag, an Omega director, said he still regards Cavendish as the best sprinter in the world. Given the tightness of the nish, Aldag says it would be unfair to say that he doesnt have it. I think he still has it. At Sky, Cavendishs former boss, Dave Brailsford, also warned against jumping to conclusions. He suggested Cavendish simply needs to completely gel with his Omega teammates responsible for maneuvering him into position to compete in the nal sprints. Mark Cavendish has delivered more often for more times in more races than any other sprinter, Brailsford said. He is not a machine, he has got a new lead-out team and that will take a bit of time to bed in. The 136-mile Stage 12 produced no change at the top of the overall standings. Froome still has his big lead of more than three minutes over his main rivals, who are hoping to claw back time on climbs up Mont Ventoux on Sunday and in the Alps next week. Froome narrowly avoided a pileup that oored about 20 riders just behind him on the road into Tours. The escape demonstrated that to win the Tour, a rider must be lucky as well as strong. Teammate Edvald Boasson Hagen was among those brought down. Sky later announced his withdrawal from the race with a broken right shoulder. That leaves Froome with six teammates from the eight he started with on June 29 to shepherd him through the last 10 days. Skys Vasil Kiryienka missed the time cut on Stage 9. Its never nice to lose a rider of Edvalds ability, Brailsford said. But ultimately were still condent that with the riders weve got left we can pull together and see the race through.

Pistons agree to 2-year deal with Chauncey Billups

AP Sports Writer

Larry Lage

DETROIT Chauncey Billups wanted to stay with the Detroit Pistons for the rest of his career. Now, the team that traded him away wants him back. Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars conrmed Thursday morning that Billups and the team have agreed to terms on a contract. Billups is getting a twoyear deal, the rst season is guaranteed, for $2.5 million each year. I never wanted to leave here. Everyone knows that, he said on Jan. 26, 2011, after making a urry of 3-pointers late in a game to help Denver win in Detroit. I wanted to retire here. Hes back to help the Pistons as a pass-rst point guard, who can make 3-point shots. And, he will be expected to mentor 21-year-old Brandon Knight and Kentavious CaldwellPope, the No. 8 overall pick in the draft, in the backcourt and off the court. Detroit dealt to Denver on Nov. 3, 2008, when the franchise decided its championship-winning window had closed. The Pistons are almost 100 games under .500 since making the unpopular and unsuccessful move. The Pistons traded Billups in part to speed the development of Rodney Stuckey, to see if Allen Iverson could provide a spark while his contract expired and to clear salarycap space for the future. It was just a season of inevitable change and inevitable pain, Dumars said after the 2008-09 season ended by getting swept in the rst round by the LeBron James-led Cleveland

Cavaliers. Although it was a tough year, we also knew it was a necessary process if youre trying to position yourself to remain relevant. Stuckey, who is still with the team, n e v e r became a Billups dependable point guard. The millions spent in the summer of 2009 on free agents Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva turned out to be wasted. The Pistons traded Gordon last summer, basically to get his contract off the books, to Charlotte for a rst-round pick. Detroit could still deal Villanueva, who is entering the last year of his deal, to a team that might want to take on his expiring contract later this summer or during the upcoming season. The Pistons, 148-244 since trading Billups, are in a four-year postseason drought that is their longest since missing six straight from 1978 through 1983. Billups, a ve-time AllStar, turns 37 in September. He tore his left Achilles tendon during the 2011-12 season, when he was limited to 20 game with the Los Angeles Clippers, and bounced back last season to play 22 games for them. Billups has averaged 15.4 points making 42 percent of his 3-pointers and 5.5 assists during his career. Boston drafted him out of Colorado with the No. 3 pick in the 1997 draft. He went on to be on rosters in Toronto, with his hometown Nuggets, Orlando, Minnesota, Detroit, back to Denver, New York and the Clippers.

The Devils announced the stunning news Thursday afternoon, in a statement, saying that the 30-year-old Ilya Kovalchuk had alerted general manager and president Lou Lamoriello earlier this year that he wanted to return home with his family after 11 seasons in the NHL.

Devils star Ilya Kovalchuk retires

Tom Canavan
AP Sports Writer

NEWARK, N.J. Superstar forward Ilya Kovalchuk stunned the New Jersey Devils and the sports world Thursday, retiring from the NHL to return to his native Russia. In leaving, the 30-yearold Kovalchuk walked from $77 million left on the 15-year contract that he signed with New Jersey in 2010, including guaranteed annual salaries of at least $11 million over the next four seasons. The Devils announced

the stunning news Thursday afternoon, saying that the 30-year-old Kovalchuk had alerted general manager and president Lou Lamoriello earlier this year that he wanted to return home with his family after 11 seasons in the NHL. Gentlemen, this wasnt a decision made by the New Jersey Devils, a testy Lamoriello said at the end of a conference call held less than an hour after the retirement was announced. Lamoriello refused to disclose anything about his conversations with

Kovalchuk relating to the retirement. He also did not clarify whether the Russian planned to play in the KHL in Russia next season or whether the Devils would retain his rights if he reconsidered his retirement, deferring to the NHL. He said Kovalchuks decision was not related to anything physical. Kovalchuk had back problems in 2011-12 and missed 11 games this past season with a shoulder injury. This decision was something I have thought about for a long time going back to the lockout and spend-

ing the year in Russia, said Kovalchuk, the No. 1 pick in the 2001 draft, said in a statement. Though I decided to return this past season, Lou was aware of my desire to go back home and have my family there with me. The most difcult thing for me is to leave the New Jersey Devils. Kovalchuk was to earn $11.3 million in each of the next two seasons and $56 million over the next ve years. Lamoriello said Kovalchuk didnt receive a signing bonus, so the team didnt have to seek recovering any money.

The defection means the Devils have lost their top two players after each of the past two seasons. Zach Parise signed as a free agent with Minnesota after their 2012 run to the Stanley Cup nals, and Kovalchuk is leaving the team without a superstar because Martin Brodeur can no longer ll that category in his 40s. Lamoriello would not say whether the retirement affected his plans in the recent free agency period. The Devils lost forward David Clarkson, a 30-goal scorer a year ago, to Toronto in free agency.

Jury sides with Americas Cup challengers

Bernie Wilson
AP Sports Writer

Tensions in the troubled Americas Cup could be easing after an international jury sided with challengers from New Zealand and Italy in their arguments that regatta director Iain Murray overstepped his authority in making rules changes following the fatal capsize of a third challengers catamaran two months ago. One promising sign was that Italys Luna Rossa ended its boycott and headed onto San Francisco Bay on Thursday to sail around the course alone and collect its rst point of the Louis Vuitton Cup for challengers. Luna Rossas scheduled opponent, Swedens Artemis Racing, remains a no-show while it works

to get its second boat up to speed following the capsize on May 9 that killed Andrew Bart Simpson and destroyed its rst boat. Simpsons death led Murray to make 37 safety recommendations. Among them was a highly technical change to the winglets on the rudders of the fast, space-age boats. The Kiwis and Italians protested, saying the changes were more about performance than safety. The syndicates said their boats were designed and built under the old rules and they didnt have time to build new rudders and, perhaps more importantly, test them. They also said they felt the change gave an advantage to defending champion Oracle Team USA, which doesnt have

This would require the consent of the other competitors and we would strongly urge this be given.
Emirates Team New Zealand statement to race until the start of the 34th Americas Cup on Sept. 7. The jury ruled that a regatta notice issued by Murray had the effect of changing the class rule and was not in accordance with the protocol. Murray was ordered to withdraw that notice. Last week, Murray said that if the jury sided with the challengers, he would have no choice but to go back to the U.S. Coast Guard to discuss the permit it issued for racing on San Francisco Bay. The jury ordered Murray to make the views of all the competitors known to the Coast Guard. In a statement, Emirates Team New Zealand said it was pleased the jury has maintained the sanctity of the AC72 Class Rule in ruling that it can be changed only by unanimous consent of the competitors and the Regatta Director. The Kiwis added that they believe the jurys decision does not affect the substance of the safety plan submitted with the application to the U.S. Coast Guard for a Marine Event Permit or the excellent work the Regatta Director undertook with

the Review Committee. The Kiwis also said theyd like to help Artemis Racing, which has said it doesnt have the proper rudders to comply with the rules. The Kiwis said they have proposed that when Artemis is ready to race, it be given dispensation from the class rule regarding rudder elevators as long as it otherwise complies with the class rule and safety recommendations. This would require the consent of the other competitors and we would strongly urge this be given, the New Zealand statement said. Artemis Racing is making a tremendous effort under difcult circumstances to get back on the race track and deserve support to help them achieve this.

Ring credits Seminoles with SEC title

The Associated Press All those Florida State fans who have dreamed about the Seminoles playing in the Southeastern Conference will love this championship ring. Former Florida State offensive lineman Menelik Watson posted a picture of the championship ring he earned by being a part of last seasons Atlantic Coast Conference title winners. Problem is it has SEC Champions engraved on the side. Watson tweeted on M e n e l i k Wa t s o n 7 1 : Apparently Im the only player in #Fsu history to win an SEC Championship! #Legendary. Florida State spokesman Elliott Finebloom said Thursday rings that had not already been distributed have been checked and one more was found to have a similar mistake. He said the rings with inaccurate carvings will be replaced. edge of the deal tells The Associated Press the Atlantic Coast Conference is expected to be the other league with a tie-in to the Military Bowl. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal with the ACC was still being completed. ESPN.com rst reported the deal with the ACC and the Military Bowl. The Military Bowl is moving from RFK Stadium in Washington to NavyMarine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md., this season, where its expected to make a permanent home. Navy is slated to join the American, formerly known as the Big East, in 2015. The American is still working on the rest of its bowl lineup. The league is trying to keep afliations with the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn., BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala., and the BeefOBradys Bowl in St. Petersburg, Fla. Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco has said the conference is in the process of putting together a new bowl game to be played in south Florida at Marlins Park in Miami. The conference would also like to land at least one postseason game in Texas, with SMU and Houston set to join this season, along with Central Florida and Memphis.

U.S. unemployment applications rise

The number of people applying for U.S. unemployment benets rose 16,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted 360,000, although the level remains consistent with steady hiring. The Labor Department said Thursday that the less volatile fourweek average increased 6,000 to 351,750. The weekly applications data can be volatile in July because some automakers briey shut down their factories to prepare for new models and many schools close. Those factors can create a temporary spike in layoffs. The broader trend has been favorable. Applications have declined steadily in the past year, as companies have laid off fewer workers and stepped up hiring. In the past six months, employers have added an average of 202,000 jobs a month. Thats up from an average of 180,000 in the previous six months.

Hawaiian Airlines was most likely to arrive on-time, while American Eagle, the regional-ying afliate of American Airlines, had the worst rate.
