WEST PITTSTON The lawsuit led by a Dallas Township woman against an area McDonalds Restaurant franchisee has garnered national attention, and now the New York Attorney Generals Ofce said it is looking at more than 20 businesses that supposedly use ATMtype cards with fees to pay workers. Attorney Michael Cefalo of West Pittston, who represents Natalie Gunshannon and others in a class-action lawsuit led last week against Albert and Carol Mueller, McDonalds franchise holders from Clarks Summit, said the case might lead to national legislation. Now that the New York Attorney General is investigating some of the largest employers over the use of ATM/style cards to pay their employees, our case has taken on a different avor, Cefalo said. We now have a separate government agency who will be looking into the relationships of employers and card-issuers. Cefalo noted an Internet story cited a New York Times article that highlighted the Gunshannon case. Gunshannon worked at the McDonalds in Shavertown. She, through the Cefalo & Associates law rm, led the class

Morgan Chase. Since the lawsuit was led, the Muellers have informed their 700 employees in their 16 stores that they now have two other options to be paid paper check or direct deposit in addition to the debit cards, Cefalo said. Since they offered options, the ood-gates have opened, Cefalo said. Our rm is being bombarded with so many calls and emails, the staff of 30-plus cannot keep up. More than 200 people have contacted the law rm regarding the use of debit cards for payment of wages, he said. This issue is getting so big that I expect legislation either national or state to come out of it, Cefalo said. And that would make me happy and my client as well. That would assure that this doesnt happen again.

WILKES-BARRE Drug agents found more than 40 pounds of marijuana inside a vacant warehouse on Arch Street Tuesday night, according to a law enforcement source. Some of the conscated drug was packaged for distribution; there also was evidence that marijuana recently had been harvested and not yet cut and packaged. Drug agents with the state Ofce of Attorney General Bureau of Narcotics Investigation searched the warehouse based on a tip they received in Operation Shape Up, an investigation that targeted

cocaine and marijuana sales resulting in the arrest of 17 people last week and earlier this week. Agents believe that over the past eight months, John Bambino Miller, 26, of Downing Street, Plymouth, was in almost daily contact with his alleged supplier, Ramon Colon, 26, of Mayower Crossing, Wilkes-Barre. Colon and his wife, Alexandra Mateo, 21, would travel to New York City to pick up cocaine and marijuana to distribute to Miller and others to sell throughout Luzerne County, according to the 141-page criminal complaint. Agents last Thursday searched Colons employer, The Master Barbershop

on Hazle Avenue, Wilkes-Barre, and Idleys Furniture Store across the street, where Freddy Reyes, 45, of Coplay Place, Mountain Top, worked. Miller, Colon, Mateo and Reyes were charged with drug trafcking offenses and remained jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $1 million bail each. Agents believe Colon, Miller and their sub-dealers are responsible for the trafcking of at least 20 kilos of cocaine with an estimated street value of $2 million and at least 200 pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of $600,000, according to a news release from the Attorney Generals ofce.

Police search for evidence at 32 Wilderness Road in Rice Township after a double shooting Wednesday night. Rice Township police officer Brian Stout said two men shot each other on Heslop Road, about a quarter mile from the intersection with Wilderness Road, just before 8:30 p.m. One of the men drove to his home at 32 Wilderness Road to seek assistance, while the other drove in a red car to the township ambulance station near the police station to seek help, police said. The man who lives at 32 Wilderness Road suffered injuries that didnt appear to be life-threatening, Stout said, while he heard that the other man suffered more severe injuries. Both men were taken by ambulance to Geisinger Wyoming valley Medical Center for treatment. No further information was available prior to press time.

The man with 2 brains (and many talents)

Times Leader Correspondent

Brad Patton

Even Steve Martin realizes it is a bit strange to expect an audience to come out to hear a great comedian play the banjo. The only equivalent, the 67-year-old actor, comedian, writer and now banjo-playing bluegrass musician said, is if your wife looks in the paper and says, Oh, Louis C.K. has written some original songs for the harmonica; that seems like a must-see. But much to the delight of a very large crowd at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts on Tuesday, Martin proved to be nearly as talented with a banjo as he is with a joke. Add in great musical and vocal support from the Steep Canyon Rangers, a ve-piece progressive bluegrass band, and the lyrics and voice of Edie Brickell, and it made for one wildly entertaining evening. Martin made a joke about being referred to as a Renaissance man, but think about it he is. Not many other successful entertainers have branched out into as many different elds as Martin, or have been nearly as successful in all of the various pursuits. And Brickell still sounds as lovely today as she did 25 years ago on her breakthrough album, 1988s Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars (as the leader of the New Bohemians, with songs such as What I Am and Circle). Early in Tuesdays show, Martin made mention of the incident from earlier in the day in which a man in Wilkes-Barre returned the comedians wallet, which Martin said he hadnt even realized he had lost. Apparently that made the news, he said. Now thats a slow news day. So thank you, Wilkes-Barre. My impression of WilkesBarre is everyone is 100 percent honest all the time, he said to a rousing ovation. Tuesdays repertoire was mostly from Martin and Brickells recent collaboration, Love Has Come For You, which is still at the top of the Billboard Bluegrass Albums chart more than two months after its release. That collection, by the way, is Martins third consecutive chart-topper (following 2009s The Crow and 2011s Red Bird Alert) since he turned his attention to music full time. Martin said he has been playing banjo for more than 50 years, and it showed on Tuesday as he ably kept up with the ne musicians and vocalists of the Steep Canyon Rangers Woody Platt (acoustic guitar), Graham Sharp (banjo), Mike Guggino (mandolin), Charles R. Humphrey III (bass) and Nicky Sanders (ddle). But I have only been playing on stage for about four years, he told the crowd. Some nights, I play great. Others, I am only just ne, and I wish I did better. I went to see Eric Clapton play the other night, he continued. And (he paused for effect), hes just not that funny. The Rangers, Martin said, are not his backing band, but rather, I am their celebrity. They may not be as famous as the man at center stage, but the quintet played and sang exquisitely all evening long, especially on their two-song showcase in the middle of the set. First they did an instrumental number which spotlighted each member to great effect, then followed it up with some close harmony on an a cappella spiritual number. When Martin returned to the stage, he joined them for an amusing little ditty called Atheists Dont Have No Songs, one of only a small handful of songs performed Tuesday that showcased both the comedy and musicality at the same time. Highlights of the joint numbers with Brickell included a lovely rendition of Sarah Jane and the Iron Mountain Baby, a train song that tells the true story of a baby found in a suitcase by a Civil War veteran, and the albums opening number, When You Get to Asheville. Fiddler Sanders brought the crowd to its feet with a second train tune at the end of the set proper. Then the musicians returned to the stage for a three-song encore, including Remember Me This Way, a tune that ttingly brought the evening to a close.

Two men arrested in separate gun incidents in Wilkes-Barre

WILKES-BARRE Two city men were arraigned Wednesday in separate incidents involving rearms. It could have been much worse in one case, as the handgun allegedly misred twice when the trigger was pulled. James Robert Whiteside III, 27, of Mayower Crossings on South Empire Street, Wilkes-Barre, allegedly brandished a .9mm handgun he aimed at Mosliah Shahadeh on South Main Street, near Academy Street, at about 11 p.m. Monday. Shahadeh told police he was walking with a friend when Whiteside caused a disturbance. Whiteside took an aggressive stance

A woman sentenced last month to 14 to 28 years in prison on charges she torched a Conyngham building in September 2010 said in court papers filed Wednesday she is entitled to a new trial due to a number of errors made during her trial in April. Gail Schneider, 44, was sentenced on seven charges stemming from the fire that caused $1.3 million in damage. According to court papers, Valley Regional Fire and Rescue responded to the two-story Lantern Lane complex at 314-316 S. Main St. just after 2:30 a.m. Sept. 5. The building encompasses four businesses on the first floor and four apartments on the second, owner Kenneth Temborski testified during Schneiders jury trial. Schneiders attorney, William Miele, said in court papers a new trial for his client is warranted because a judge allowed certain evidence into the trial that Schneider believes should have been kept out, prosecutors incorrectly questioned Schneider during the trial about a conversation she had with another woman and a number of other errors.

and removed his backpack as Shahadeh placed food he was carrying on the ground, according to the criminal complaint. Shahadeh claimed Whiteside pulled a .9mm handgun from his pocket and aimed it at him, the complaint states. Shahadeh pushed away the gun as Whiteside allegedly pulled the trigger. Shahadeh heard a click, but the rearm did

not discharge a round. Shahadeh told police Whiteside placed the gun against his cheek and pulled the trigger a second time without a round being discharged, according to the complaint. Police found Whiteside behind the CVS Pharmacy on South Main Street. A loaded .9mm handgun with seven founds in the clip was found in his pocket, police said, adding the chambered round had a primer mark caused by the ring pin that created a misre. The other alleged rearm incident involved Steven J. Fox, 25, of Pershing Street, Wilkes-Barre, who reportedly pointed a handgun at a

grandmother who was holding her granddaughter on the front porch of her home Tuesday night. The grandmother told police Fox was using profanities while he was walking a dog with two other people, and she told him not to use that type of language around her house. Police allege in the complaint Fox aimed a gun at the grandmother and granddaughter, who was taken into the house. Police recovered a .9mm handgun in a kitchen cabinet inside Foxs house, the complaint states. Fox was charged with six counts of aggravated assault and three counts each of

reckless endangerment and terroristic threats. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $100,000 bail. Whiteside was charged with two counts of aggravated assault and one count each of reckless endangerment and terroristic threats. He was jailed at the county correctional facility for lack of $250,000 bail. Whiteside is scheduled for a preliminary hearing July 16 before District Judge Rick Cronauer, and Fox is scheduled for a preliminary hearing before District Judge Martin Kane.

Farmers market to open July 13

The third annual Downtown Hazleton Farmers Market is set to take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 13 in the Citiscape upper parking lot behind the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce building at 20 W. Broad St. There will be free parking for the public on Mine Street, between Laurel and Wyoming Streets, and also in the South Wyoming Street parking garage. Penn State Extension master gardeners of Luzerne County will conduct a workshop titled Raised Bed Gardening from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the chambers board room next to the market. The seminar is free and open to the public. Entertainment will be provided from 10 a.m. to noon by DJ Tony Pacelli. The Farmers Market will be open every Saturday through Aug. 31. For more information, contact the chamber at 570-455-1509 or via email at info@hazletonchamber.org. Or visit its website: www.hazletonchamber.org.

SCRANTON Schools out, but classrooms and homework arent the only things some Northeastern Pennsylvania students have left behind for the summer. More than 34,000 children in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties are eligible for free or reduced lunches during the school year, but at least 9 out of 10 of them do not take advantage of federally funded free summer meal programs for which they also are eligible, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey said during a visit to a West Scranton lunch site Wednesday afternoon. That is something we can rectify by calling attention to the program, Casey said after he and wife Terese helped distribute lunches to children under the pavilion at Fellows Park. Information about

the program, including the nearest sites, can be found at www.pasummermeals.com or by calling 1-800-331-0129. Even though children dont have the structure of a school day during the summer, their need for a regular schedule of nutritious meals doesnt stop, the senator said. In fact, he added, it becomes more critical. Its vitally important, Casey said. Despite that need, and the presence of more than 100 summer meal sites across the two counties, only about 3,800 eligible children visited the meal sites last year, Casey said. While the senator spoke with reporters, more than a dozen neighborhood children munched away on fruits, salads and other healthy fare, washed down with cartons of milk. Ten-year-old Haley Balendy, of Scranton, thanked the senator as he handed her a tray

of food and some milk. While Haley and several relatives chattered over lunch, grandmother Alice Keller stood nearby. Keller said she tries to bring the youngsters to the meal program on a regular basis, and sometimes I even help with the lunches, she said. Gene Brady, executive director of the Commission on Economic Opportunity and the Weinberg Northeast Regional Food Bank, said the need for such programs has increased as the regions economy continues to struggle, and that both the number of children using the program and the number of sites has increased by about 10 percent to 15 percent in recent years. Like Casey, Brady knows that there are many more who could be using the program. As the senator mentioned, its a function of the economy, Brady said.

In addition to getting the word out among eligible families, Brady said his agency, which actually makes and provides the food, is always open to offers of new sites at which to distribute the meals. Potential sites are evaluated for suitability and volunteers are given training in proper food handling, Brady said. Anyone interested in helping with the program can call Brady at 826-0510. Food program information Summer food service sites are open to children in the community and do not require registration. Hours are typically noon-1 p.m. weekdays.

WILKES-BARRE Its a May primary election do-over for Schuylkill and Carbon county voters who cast ballots in the Hazleton Area School Board race. A special election will 2 0 1 3 be held from 7 a.m. to 8 ELECTION p.m. July 23, Chief County Solicitor David Pedri said Wednesday. Two county judges ordered the election because Luzerne County failed to notify the two neighboring counties that a candidate had withdrawn from the race. Attorney Bill Vinsko led a petition in June on behalf of Hazleton Area School District candidate Carmella Yenkevich and 24 others, requesting a new election in Schuylkill and Carbon counties. Steven Hahn received votes in the May primary in both Schuylkill and Carbon counties. Hahns name was correctly not included on the Luzerne County ballot. We had a good meeting yesterday with Schuylkill and Carbon counties where all parties openly discussed the matter, said Pedri. We all came to a conclusion regarding the best way to handle this. Our main goal is to make sure (the election) is done correctly and fairly in accordance with Pennsylvania law. The election results will be certied on July 26 and added to the Luzerne County election numbers to declare nomination winners, Pedri said. Two polling places in Carbon County will be open for voters and ve in Schuylkill County where the polling places fall into the Hazleton Area School District, Pedri said. Only the people who voted in the (May primary) will be able to vote in this one, said Pedri, noting poll workers will have booklets available to match up if a voter had voted and is permitted to vote again. The special election will be advertised in area newspapers and on the Schuylkill and Carbon county websites, he said. Provisional ballots will be available for those who cannot go to polling places to cast ballots, Pedri said. This is a unique situation, said Pedri. I contacted every (candidate) last night and spoke with each of them to let them know the situation. Everyone I spoke with had questions and seemed anxious to nalize this matter and to move forward. Pedri said he spent a lot of time researching an appropriate time line to allow for absentee ballots to be submitted and to have the election done by the court-ordered date of July 26. The manner in which this election will be conducted is a more expensive version than his original suggestion of mailed ballots, said Pedri,butheisunsurewhatthenalcostwillbe.

Toomey: Economynot performing as it should

U.S. senator addresses area residents about what he calls nations failed fiscal policy.
Bill OBoyle
boboyle@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey talked to area residents this week about the economy, the Jobs Act, reducing student loan rates and working across the aisle to impact legislation in Congress. Toomey, R-Zionsville, told the Back Mountain Chamber of Commerce at Misericordia University on Tuesday its imperative Washington help small businesses get the nations

economy on track. Im a small business owner, he said. That was the best education I could have gotten to prepare me for Congress. Toomey, 51, said the economy is not performing as it should, and he blamed it on a failed scal policy. The U.S. decit is way too big and the countrys mounting debt is threatening future economic growth, Toomey said. We also have to deal with the regulatory environment, Toomey said. There has been a recent avalanche of new regulations. The list is too long to mention. Toomey said the health care law known as

Obamacare is unsustainable and unaffordable. Congress needs to move health care in a different direction altogether, he said. Toomey said the medical device industry should be expanded because devices, in many cases, improve quality of life and extend lives. And it offers great, higher-paying jobs, he said, noting the industry is subject to a 2.3 percent sales tax, the same type tax levied on alcohol and tobacco. We have to relieve some of these most onerous parts of Obamacare, he said. Toomey said the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, has

been a success, but it hasnt fundamentally changed the economy. Toomey helped write and enact the bipartisan JOBS Act, which cuts regulatory burdens on small and medium-sized businesses, making it easier for them to raise capital and create jobs. Regarding student loans, Toomey said he expects much debate when Congress returns next week on plans to lower the rate that nearly doubled as of Monday. But he said another problem is the principal on the loans, the high cost of higher education. I think we have to ask why tuition is going up so much, Toomey said.

Even if the interest rate on college loans is zero, kids still have a problem paying it back. Toomey said the Republican Party is looking toward the 2014 offyear election to win seats in Congress. He said six Senate seats would give the GOP control a goal he said is not unreachable. Toomey also opposed the recent immigration bill that was passed, and he said the U.S. Supreme Court rulings on gay rights issues will probably put pressure on some of the 37 states that dont recognize gay marriage.

King to relinquish crown

Chechen rebel calls for attacks on Olympics

Authorities say threats expected prior to Winter Games at Russian site in February
Nataliya Vasilyeva
The Associated Press

Belgian Queen Paola adjusts the tie of King Albert II moments before he addresses the nation on television Wednesday at the Royal Palace in Brussels. King Albert unexpectedly announced that he will step down later this month in favor of his son, Crown Prince Philippe. The move had been rumored for weeks and will end nearly two decades of steady reign over a fractious kingdom.

AP PHoTo

MOSCOW A leading Chechen rebel on Wednesday called on Islamist militants in Russias North Caucasus to disrupt the upcoming Olympics in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, reversing his previous appeal not to target civilians in the region. Sochi is hosting the Winter Games in February, a pet project for President Vladimir Putin, who is determined for them to be a success. The overall bill for the games stands at $51 billion, making them by far the most expensive Olympics in history. Doku Umarov, a widely known Chechen rebel lead-

er, urged his ghters to do their utmost to derail the games, which he described as Satanic dances on the bones of our ancestors. We have the obligation to use all means to prevent this, he said in a video posted on a rebel website on Wednesday. Umarov last year urged his ghters to avoid hitting civilian targets because Russians in Moscow were taking to the streets en masse to protest against Putin. Security experts have said the Islamic insurgency raging across the North Caucasus mountains that tower over Sochi is a daunting threat to the games although rebels have not attacked Sochi so far.

Dagestan, which lies about 300 miles east of Sochi, has become the center of the insurgency that spread across the North Caucasus region after two separatist wars in the 1990s in neighboring Chechnya. Rebels seeking to carve out a caliphate, or Islamic state, have targeted police and other officials in neardaily shootings and bombings. Umarov is believed to be their most influential leader. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the elder of the two ethnic Chechen brothers who are accused of staging the Boston Marathon bombings, spent six months last year in Dagestan. Jean-Claude Killy, head of the IOC coordination commission for Sochi, said such threats are to be expected. We get threats before every Olympics, he told

The Associated Press. This cannot be taken lightly. I think the Russians are well equipped to face the challenge. The Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee said in an emailed comment that ensuring security at the games is the responsibility of the state and will be its priority. We are condent that the games will be safe and comfortable for all as guaranteed by the Russian state, the committee said. Russias National AntiTerrorism Committee said in a statement on Wednesday that it is working to eliminate threats at all international sporting events in the country including the Olympics. Ofcials said that they aim to identify and avert various threats, including those of terrorism. Ramzan Kadyrov, a strong-

Umarov

man who rules Chechnya, played down the inuence of Umarov and promised that his security forces would track him down. Before the Olympics, I think, Im sure, that we will destroy him, Kadyrov told the Interfax news agency. We search for him every day, but he is nowhere to be found.

Investigator tabbed for deadly wildfire

The Florida State Forester will lead the investigation into the deaths of 19 reghters who died in Arizona this week. Jim Karels was named as the lead investigator Wednesday charged with reviewing the Yarnell Hill Fire that killed members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots. Violent wind gusts on Sunday turned what was believed to be a relatively manageable lightningignited forest re into a death trap that left no escape for the team. Mike Dudley, Acting Director of Cooperative Forestry of the U.S. Forest Service, will be the secondary team lead.

Judge asked to rule for gay marriage

Six couples and their children have asked a New Jersey judge to force the state to recognize gay marriage. The motion for summary judgment was led in a state court Wednesday. Lawyers for the couples announced last week that they would be making the motion. They had sued two years ago, saying that the civil unions allowed in the state do not give couples the full rights and benets that married couples get, as required by a 2006 state Supreme Court ruling. But the group says its more urgent now after last weeks U.S. Supreme Court ruling that invalidates a federal ban on same-sex marriage. The couples say that the state is now what is keeping them from equality and say no trial is needed to prove it.

Army suspends constitution Wednesday and calls for new elections

The Associated Press CAIRO The armed forces ousted Egypts rst democratically elected president Wednesday after only a year in power, installing a temporary civilian government, suspending the constitution and calling for new elections. Islamist President Mohammed Morsi denounced it as a full coup by the military. After the televised announcement by the army chief, millions of antiMorsi protesters in cities around the country erupted in delirious scenes of joy, with shouts of God is great and Long live Egypt. Fireworks burst over crowds dancing and waving ags in Cairos Tahrir Square, epicenter of the 2011 uprising that ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak. Now

Egyptian military ousts Morsi

it was one of multiple centers of a stunning four-day anti-Morsi revolt that brought out the biggest anti-government rallies Egypt has seen, topping even those of 2011. But the move potentially throws the country into further confrontation. Moments after the army statement, a statement on the Egyptian presidents ofces Twitter account quoted Morsi as saying the militarys measures represent a full coup categorically rejected by all the free men of our nation. Morsi has insisted his legitimacy as an elected president must not be violated or Egypt could be thrown in to violence. Some of his Islamist backers, tens of thousands of whom took to the streets in recent days, have vowed to fight to the end. Down with the rule of the military, some of them chanted after the army announcement, reviving a chant used by leftist revolutionaries during the nearly 17 months of direct Morsi military rule that followed Mubaraks removal. The army has insisted it is not carrying out a coup, but acting on the will of the people to clear the way for a new leadership. In his speech, army chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said the chief justice of the Supreme Constitutional Court would step in as interim president until new elections are held. He would be sworn in judges of his court, elSissi said. A government of technocrats would be formed with full powers to run the country. El-Sissi spoke while anked by the countrys top Muslim and Christian clerics as well as proreform leader Mohammed ElBaradei and two representatives of the youth opposition movement behind the wave of protests. He promised not to exclude anyone or any movement from further steps. But he did not dene the length of the transition period or when presidential elections would be held. He also did not mention any role for the military. The constitution, drafted by Morsis Islamist allies, was temporarily suspended, and a panel of experts and representatives of all political movements will consider amendments. He did not say whether a referendum would be held to ratify the changes, as customary. Seeking to avert a destabilizing backlash, he warned that the armed forces, police will deal decisively with violence.

Convictions of couple upheld

A mother and father who prayed instead of seeking medical help as their daughter died in front of them were properly convicted of homicide, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Wednesday. Eleven-year-old Madeline Kara Neumann died of undiagnosed diabetes on Easter Sunday in March 2008 at her parents home in the central Wisconsin village of Weston. Prosecutors said her parents, Dale and Leilani Neumann, ignored obvious symptoms of severe illness as their daughter became too weak to speak, eat, drink or walk, choosing to pray rather than take her to a doctor. Doctors testied that the child, known as Kara, would have had a good chance of survival if she had received medical care, including insulin and uids, before she stopped breathing.

UK tries to boost military reserves

British army reservists will get military pensions and other benets as part of a government bid to boost reserve numbers, the U.K. defense secretary said Wednesday. The proposals unveiled by Philip Hammond which include rebranding the Territorial Army as the Army Reserve come as Britain cuts its regular army from 100,000 to just over 80,000 soldiers and increases its fully trained army reservists to 30,000 from around 19,000 by 2018. Hammond told lawmakers Wednesday that the government will invest about$2.7 billion during the next 10 years in the reserves.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan Unmanned U.S. aircraft red four missiles at a house in northwest Pakistan before dawn Wednesday, killing 16 suspected militants, Pakistani intelligence ofcials said. The drone strike elicited a swift condemnation by the Pakistani government, which released a statement saying the strikes are a violation of its sovereignty. The attack in the Sarai Darpa Khel area of the North Waziristan tribal region also wounded two suspected militants, said the ofcials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the news media. The suspected militants who were targeted were believed to be from the Afghan Haqqani network. U.S. ofcials consider the Haqqani network to be one of the most dangerous militant factions ghting American troops in neighboring Afghanistan. The leadership of the

Haqqani network pledges allegiance to Taliban chief Mullah Omar but operates fairly independently. U.S. drone strikes have become a serious source of tension between Washington and Islamabad. The Pakistani government regularly denounces the strikes as a violation of the countrys sovereignty, even though senior ofcials are known to have supported some of the attacks in the past. The Government of Pakistan has consistently maintained that drone strikes are counter-productive, entail loss of innocent civilian lives and have human rights and humanitarian implications, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement Wednesday. These drone strikes have a negative impact on the mutual desire of both countries to forge a cordial and cooperative relationship and to ensure peace and stability in the region, the ministry said. U.S. ofcials rarely provide details publicly about the covert CIA drone program in Pakistan.

Pa. landowners pledge lawsuit over drilling ban

Michael Rubinkam
The Associated Press

A landowners group in Northeastern Pennsylvania is threatening to sue the Delaware River Basin Commission over its three-year moratorium on natural gas exploration and production, saying the ban has imposed a heavy financial toll on thousands of people who leased their land for drilling, only to see the energy boom pass them by. The Northern Wayne Property Owners Alliance, one of the largest landowners groups in Pennsylvania with more than 1,300 families and businesses, said in a letter to the commissions executive director that it

will file a lawsuit unless the agency either schedules a vote on regulations that would allow drilling to begin, or steps aside and drops any plan to regulate the practice. The ve-member basin commission is scheduled to meet Tuesday and Wednesday in Wilmington, Del. Gas drilling is not on the agenda. The commission is allowing itself to be held hostage by the media and an emotion-driven anti-drilling community made up mostly of people from outside our region and by activist staffers within the DRBC who are exercising their personal biases, the property owners group said in its letter, released late Tuesday.

Other OpiniOn: COLLeGe DeBt

Congress must revisit student loan interest rate

More than two-thirds of college students graduate with debt, with the average burden more than $26,000. This year, the nations student debt crisis threatens to become even worse. On July 1, the interest rate on new, federally subsidized Stafford loans, which serve students with demonstrated nancial need, jumped from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent, a rate not seen since 2007. At a time of unprecedented levels of student borrowing student debt in the United States has more than tripled in the last decade to over $1 trillion today Congress should support young Americans who are investing in their future by helping to keep the debt down. Congress missed its chance by failing to pass legislation to block the rate increase that hit Monday. If left unchanged, the higher rate will harm the students who take out new Stafford loans for the coming school year. The effects of the increase could particularly affect Pennsylvania college students, who are heavy borrowers; they accrue nearly $30,000 in debt on average, more than students in all but one state. Lawmakers largely agree on the need to reform interest rates but have been unable to settle on the details, with more than half a dozen plans introduced in Congress. Even though July 1 has passed, Congress still has a chance to reduce the subsidized loan interest rate after it returns from its recess. One Democratic-led bill to be considered in the Senate on July 10 would do just that, reinstating a 3.4 percent interest rate on subsidized Stafford loans for an additional year while Congress negotiates a permanent solution. Congress should put students above politics and quickly roll back the interest rate before students nalize their loan contracts this summer. Swift action now should also be coupled with a serious, bipartisan effort over the next year to overhaul the loan programs on which millions of students and the nations future depend.

dont blame state dems for failed GoP agenda

Boosting transportation funding, pension reform and privatizing the state liquor store system were among Gov. Tom Corbetts top priorities when he unveiled his 2013-14 budget plan in February. It was an ambitious plan. Too ambitious for a governor who clearly lacks the clout he thinks he has. Even with his Republican colleagues in control of both the state House and Senate, not one of those items reached his desk for a signature by Sundays budget deadline. We have to wonder if Corbett could lead lemmings off a cliff. It didnt help that his lemmings couldnt agree on a cliff. GOP leaders in the House sent the Senate a liquor store privatization plan, while the Senates leadership sent the House a transportation plan. Neither caucus wanted the other to tinker much with the bills, and the resulting standoff doomed both. (Corbetts pension reform bill never gained traction in either chamber.) How did this asco happen? If you ask state Rep. Ron Miller, the Jacobus Republican lays the blame for the transportation bills demise squarely on Democrats. There was not a single vote coming out of the Democratic caucus, he said. Again, Republicans control both chambers and set the agendas. Since when do they need Democratic votes to pass laws? They didnt need them to pass last years controversial voter ID law, for example, or the lame natural gas extraction fee law a year earlier. Those were both mostly partyline votes. Granted, it would have been helpful if some Democrats had supported the $2 billion House bill to deal with Pennsylvanias crumbling transportation infrastructure. But did the Republican leadership seriously try to work with any Democrat to earn his or her vote? We nd that unlikely, given the difculty it had with its own rank and le. No, this mess belongs to Corbett and Republicans legislators and the House members shoulder more blame than the senators. The Senate took the initiative on a safety issue that affects every resident of Pennsylvania. The House, on the other hand, made liquor store privatization its priority. While we believe the state should get out of the booze business no ones life is at risk if it doesnt. The same cant be said about the sorry state of our roads and bridges. Some Republicans say they believe they can get the job done on both bills in the fall. We hope so, for all our sakes. But after this, we dont share that optimism. The York Dispatch

IF I SAY Hotel Sterling and you reply parking lot, you should be banished to live your life in a yurt at the Mall of America lot (total on-site parking: 12,550). Someone in authority Mayor Tom Leighton comes to mind should promise right now, unequivocally, that there will be no surface parking at whatever becomes of the four-acre lot after the historic hotel is tragically torn down. It would be nice if someone in authority explained what happened to the millions in public money spent to preserve the hotel for this demolition, but, hey, why shoot for the basics? In a page 1 story Saturday by Bill OBoyle, Forty Fort architect Carl Handman said bluntly that there should be no surface parking lot. He is more than bluntly right. The Annex part of the hotel that was torn down in the failed preservation effort is already a de facto surface lot (of gravel), and it stands as proof aplenty that such use would be beyond waste of such prime real estate.

Board of Trustees chairman: PSU making great strides

Penn State University has worked hard over the past 18 months to become a national model for governance. I respect the diversity of opinion regarding the conclusions of the Freeh Report, but the reports value is the actionable recommendations it provided. In all, 119 recommendations were made to improve efciency, transparency and accountability for Penn State employees and most importantly, the Board. In less than a year, the university has implemented a majority of those recommendations, with a substantial portion being completed, including the training of thousands of university employees to identify and report child sexual abuse. The Board has opened its meetings to public comments for the rst time in history; expanded committee oversight; eliminated the president and governor as voting members; and raised its quorum requirement to a majority of the Board. As a result, Penn State now has the smallest board of any staterelated university and requires the most members for quorum. Independent third parties are recognizing this progress. Former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, Moodys Investors Service and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education have commended the university for its progress, showing us

that were on the right path. In a June 24 article, the Chronicle of Higher Education interviewed lawyers at different colleges and found the scope and degree of change achieved in a short time at Penn State was greater than most thought possible. We are making progress, but we still have work to do. I sincerely respect the opinions of all Penn Staters, and its my hope we can continue this work together. We owe that to the parents of 96,000 students who entrust the education of their children to our great university. Keith Masser Sacramento, Pa.

From page 1A including Wendys Co., Costco Wholesale Corp., Dollar Tree Inc., Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., Home Depot Inc., Darden Restaurants Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. The AP article states the letters request documents related to the payroll card systems used by each business so that they can ensure the companies comply with laws that try to keep workers from being beset by fees for using the cards. It said nearly 4 million U.S. households, or 3.2 percent, have someone receiving wages on a payroll card, according to a 2011 survey by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Earlier this week Christina Mueller-Curran, franchise owner-operator and daughter of Albert and Carol Mueller, said the decision to offer other options of pay had nothing to do with the lawsuit. The debit card carries with it several fees, and Gunshannon felt she could receive less than minimum wage if she used the debit card and incurred the fees. She opted to quit her job. Gunshannon, a 27-year-old single mother, said she is looking for another job. In Luzerne County, the Muellers operate McDonalds eateries in Wyoming, Shavertown, Mountain Top and Hanover Township.

Slots
From page 1A Only one of the 11 casinos in Pennsylvania Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem reported an increase of 1.66 percent. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Plains Township saw the second largest percentage drop, with a 6 percent decrease from the prior scal year. Revenues at the states rst casino, which opened in November 2006, were down $14.4 million to $224.3 million. Only Presque Isle Downs in Erie had a larger gross slot revenue decrease, down 16 percent to $138.5 million. That casino has been experiencing signicant declines since the Horseshoe Casino Cleveland opened across the state line in Ohio last May. Local factors weigh in Mike Bean, the president and general manager at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, said the decline at Mohegan Sun is attributable to how strong a year the casino had in 2012. In 2012, the casino reported an 11 percent jump in revenues from 2011. He noted that 2013s slot revenues were 3 percent higher than 2011s, so the casino in not trending downward. Even with the dip, gross slot revenues in the state topped $2.4 billion for the second consecutive scal year. The decrease could be attributed to several factors, including casinos opening in neighboring states that have helped stanch the border bleed, and the increase in play of table games. Maryland, Ohio and New York have all seen new casinos open in the past year. Bean said the border competition is having a minimal effect here in the Wyoming Valley, but he added that Mohegan Suns $50 million hotel and conference center under construction is part of the strategy to help grow business and lure gamblers from greater distances in other competing casinos market territories. Another factor that could be impacting statewide slot machine revenues is the number of slot machines in operation. The 2012-13 slot numbers were generated with an average daily number of 26,326 machines in operation this scal year compared to the 26,495 operating on average in 2011-12. Thats a decrease of 169 machines statewide. It should also be noted that the states newest venue, The Valley Forge Casino, didnt open until March 2012, meaning the 2012-13 gures only beneted from three months of that casinos revenues. The slide in slot revenues will result in fewer dollars being allocated to property tax reduction and other projects, as the state uses casino revenue to support the state budget, schools, development projects, volunteer reghting squads, local governments and horse racing. Tax revenue from slot machines during the last scal year was $1.3 billion, down nearly 3 percent from the year before. Table game revenues Annual table game revenues will be released later this month and are expected to show an increase based on the 11-month numbers that show 2012-13 statewide table game gross revenues only $10 million dollars behind the 2011-12 full year total. The states been averaging close to $60 million a month in gross table games revenue, meaning its nearly a foregone conclusion the gaming control board will report an increase. Even with the decline in slots revenue, the state will maintain its ranking as the countrys secondlargest gambling market, trailing only Las Vegas. Pennsylvania surpassed New Jersey for the No. 2 spot last year. The slight drop is not unexpected since the number of casinos here has not increased for over a year while surrounding states have established new competition. The good news for Pennsylvanians is that slot machine tax revenue exceeded $1.3 billion for the second consecutive year, the highest in the United States which, among other items, will once again provide a reduction on school property taxes for all homeowners, said Doug Harbach, the director of communications for the state Gaming Control Board. Did Pa. hit its peak? Gross slots revenues began with $454.6 million in scal year 2007, climbed to $1.4 billion the following year and then hit $2 billion mark in scal year 2010. It reached a peak of $2.47 billion in scal year 2012 before falling slightly in scal year 2013 to $2.42 billion. Bean said its hard to say whether the state has hit a peak for slot revenues, noting that revenues are difcult to predict because there are a number of factors that contribute, for instance an improving economy. He said Mohegan Sun is smack dab in the middle of a region with the highest unemployment rate in the state and if that can improve, so can numbers at the casino. The states 12th casino, Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin, opened Monday in Fayette County, and two more casino licenses are available, including one for Philadelphia.

County
From page 1A of this opportunity, Hoggarth said. While some current employees are expected to apply, Hoggarth stressed all applicants will receive equal consideration through the selection process outlined in the personnel code. Under this process, the human resources department handles the initial screening, determining which applicants meet minimum qualications. Human resources and the hiring manager in this case Hoggarth determine an objective examination that will be used to screen, rate and rank applicants. To the extent possible, the identity of applicants are shielded until the ranking is completed. The human resources department then certies a list of candidates with the highest rankings, and the hiring manager selects one of the three top-rated candidates. The county manager must conrm the nal selection. Information on these and other vacant positions is on the career opportunities section of the county website, www.luzernecounty.org. Other open positions include a 911 executive director, purchasing director, engineer, human services division head and budget and nancial services division head. County Chief Solicitor C. David Pedri said he has selected attorneys to ll three vacant assistant solicitor positions in the central law ofce that were recently publicly advertised: Anthony Ross, Shannon Crake and Jacqueline Musto Carroll, who previously served as county district attorney. The solicitor positions, which pay $39,885, were lled through the hiring procedure, Pedri said. Two of the positions were created in the 2013 budget, and the third was open because of an employee transfer, he said.

Hazleton
From page 1A small fortune. The budget signed by Gov. Tom Corbett increased education funding overall by 2.77 percent. Luzerne Countys 10 other districts saw increases between 1.3 percent to 2.6 percent, and without the $1 million supplement Hazleton Area would have been right in that pack at 2.3 percent. Add the million, and Hazleton Areas increase more than doubles, to 5.4 percent. How did Luzerne Countys largest school district get so lucky? Superintendent Francis Antonelli said he didnt know, but he praised state Rep. Tarah Toohil. She really represented our interests and worked very hard to get us much needed nancial relief, Antonelli said. I give her a lot of credit, and the governor. Hes been very supportive of our initiatives. Antonelli cited the districts new magnet school set to open this fall, focusing on so-called STEM subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, elds Corbett has championed. Toohil did not return a call for comment Wednesday. Preserves fund balance Antonelli, Business Manager Tony Ryba and Assistant Business Manger Robert Krizansky would not speculate on why the supplement ended up crafted in a way that sent all the money to Hazleton Area they just expressed gratitude. Ryba said the money would allow the district to avoid depleting its fund balance to cover a $1.1 million shortfall in the budget. The district had planned on using money from the fund balance, a reserve built up over years, to make up that shortfall. The requirements for getting any of the $1 million supplement essentially set up three gauntlets that, individually, allowed plenty of districts to have a crack at the money, but collectively winnowed the competition down to one. The rst requirement, that the qualifying districts be located within a county of the third class as determined by the 2010 census, cut the eld from 500 districts to 154, including, of course, all 11 districts in Luzerne County. A county is third class if the population is between 210,000 to 499,999. The second requirement involves what the state calls the market value/ personal income aid ratio a complex calculation used to determine a districts relative wealth, thus theoretically helping the state funnel money to needier districts. To qualify for the supplement, a district must have an aid ratio between 0.60 and 0.69. There are 128 districts statewide that fall in that range. But only 24 of those are in third class counties, including six in Luzerne County. The third requirement involves Average Daily Membership, a sophisticated calculation of enrollment. To qualify, a districts 2011-12 ADM had to be greater than 10,000 but less than 13,000. Only 10 districts statewide meet that criteria. Only two of those also meet the aid ratio requirement: Hazleton Area and Upper Darby. And Upper Darby is in a second class county. Hazleton fully qualies Thus, while the $1 million supplement appears to have the potential to help at least 10 and up to 154 districts, it ends up all going to Hazleton. In fact, a breakdown of the allocations to school districts shows many examples of supplements that created a pot of money to be spread among qualifying districts, but actually went to a select few. There are 13 supplements, and only one the student focused funding supplement spreads money among all school districts. Of the other 12 including the one awarded solely to Hazleton Area six supplements each went to a single district, four split the supplement total between two districts, one spread the money among three districts, and one was divvied among ve districts. The money from those 12 supplements totaled $30.26 million. Yet the criteria for each supplement was so narrow that only 21 districts qualied for any of that money, and only one York City School District received money from more than one of the 12 supplements, nabbing $5.4 million total from two supplements.

From page 1A Fourth of July than to present medals to these true American heroes, Barletta said. Thats what these gentlemen are heroes. If it werent for their service and what they did for their country, we wouldnt be able to celebrate the Fourth of July or any other holiday. Ferraro said it was a proud day for him and his family. Its a long time coming, he said. Ferraro served in Korea in 1951 and 1952. Also receiving medals Wednesday were: Francis C. Turner, 94, of Tunkhannock, who served in the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1945 and in the reserves from 1945 to 1978; Good Conduct Medal, Presidential Unit Citation, World War II Victory Medal, Army of Occupation Medal & Germany Clasp, National Defense Service Medal and the Expert Badge & Carbine Bar. Nicholas J. Migliori, 88, of Falls, who served in the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1943 to 1946; Bronze Star Medal, Presidential Unit Citation, Good Conduct Medal, EuropeanAfrican-Middle Eastern Campaign, World War II Victory Medal and the Honorable Service Lapel Button World War II. Since he was unable to attend the ceremony, the medals were accepted by his son, Nicholas Migliori. Leonard B. Brown (deceased), from Old Forge, who served in the U.S. Army from 1943-46; Good Conduct Medal, Honorable Service Lapel Button World War II, Asiatic-Pacic Campaign Medal and the Army of Occupation Medal. The medals were accepted by his son, Leonard Brown. John Chernock (deceased), from Milnesville, who served in the U.S. Army from 1942 to 1944; Good Conduct Medal, Asiatic-Pacic Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal, Honorable Service Lapel Button World War II and Marksman Badge & Carbine Bar. The medals were accepted by his son, John Chernock. James Gresavage, 84, of Herndon, who served in the U.S. Army from 1951-52; Meritorious Unit Commendation. Robert C. Keil (deceased), of Bear Creek, who served in the U.S. Army from 1941-46; Bronze Star Medal, Good Conduct Medal, American Campaign Medal, European-African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal and Bronze Star Attachment, World War II Victory Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge 1st Award, Expert Badge & Carbine Bar and Marksman Badge & Rie Bar. These medals were requested and presented to his daughter, Deborah A. Peduto. Michael Litchko, 89, of Freeland, who served in the U.S. Army from 194345; Purple Heart, EuropeanAfrican-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with two Bronze Service Stars, World War II Victory Medal, Combat Infantryman Badge 1st Award, Honorable Service Lapel Button World War II and the Marksman Badge Rolland G. Raber, 66, of Bloomsburg, who served in the U.S. Army from 1966-68; Good Conduct Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Expert Badge & Rie Bar, Sharpshooter Badge & Machine Gun Bar, Marksman Badge & Rie Bar and the Korea Defense Service Medal. Pedutos daughter, Shannon Hernandez, was there with her son, Keils grandson, Brayden Robert Hernandez. Hes my dads namesake, Peduto said. We thought he should be here for this presentation. Peduto said she was pleased to accept the medals on behalf of her late father. Its wonderful, she said. I only wish he were here to receive them. Turner wore his uniform and said the medals mean a lot to him. But I dont think I should have the Good Conduct Medal, he said with a chuckle. Turner said he was in Berlin after the surrender in 1945. The German people called the U.S. soldiers liberators, he said. Barletta, R-Hazleton, said it was tting to honor the veterans. While these medals are long overdue, the presentation gives us an opportunity to thank them once again for their sacrices on our behalf.

Murray rallies to make Wimbledon semifinal

Eddie Pells
AP National Writer

LONDON Andy Murray had all of Britain on edge for ve sets. Juan Martin del Potro only took ve points to get the fans buzzing at Wimbledon. Two victories in two very different matches Wednesday sent Murray and del Potro onto the seminals at the All England Club. Murray completed his seventh career comeback from two sets down to top Fernando Verdasco, 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 7-5. Made some bad mistakes,

poor choices on the court, Murray said. And then, I turned it around really well after that. Earlier on Centre Court, del Potro hyperextended his left knee and crumpled to the ground on the fth point, but shook off the injury for a 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (5) victory over No. 4 David Ferrer. To be honest, I didnt want to retire (being) in the quarters for rst time at Wimbledon, del Potro said. And thats the reason for continuing play. The doctors gave me good anti-inammatories. Del Potros next match is Friday against No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who took down No. 7

Tomas Berdych 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-3 on Court 1. Murray will play No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz, a 7-5, 6-4, 6-4 winner over Lukasz Kubot in the rst Grand Slam meeting between two Polish men. Going against the 54th-ranked Verdasco, Murray certainly made things interesting for the British fans, looking for one of their own to call a Wimbledon champion for the rst time in 77 years. He dropped the rst two sets, unable to handle Verdascos pinpoint serves that reached as high as 136 mph. Slowly, though, he crept back into the match. In the sixth game

of the fourth set, Murray saved a pair of break points rst with a service winner, then with one of his 13 aces. Three games later, he broke Verdasco, then served out the set. In the fth set, the players held serve for 10 straight games. In the 11th, Murray broke, then served out the match at love. I played at a very high level, said Verdasco, appearing in a Grand Slam quarternal for the rst time since the 2010 U.S. Open. And to not be able to win is painful, of course.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have been busy retaining the rights to several familiar faces as the NHLs free agency period kicks off on Friday. Pittsburgh tendered qualifying offers to Paul Thompson, Brian Gibbons, Zach Sill and Riley Holzapfel all of whom spent last season with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday. Also receiving offers were newly-acquired winger Harry Zolnierczyk who came over in the trade for Alex Grant and goalie prospect Eric Hartzell. All of the players are restricted free agents, and the Penguins can match any offer they recieve from other teams. Sill, 25, is one of the longest-tenured AHL Penguins. He completed his fourth season with the club last year and has played in 259 games. Last season he set a career high with 108 penalty minutes in 57 games and saw extensive time on the penalty kill. Holzapfel spent his rst season with the Penguins last year and nished second on the team in goals (21) and points (51). He was the only player to appear in all 76 games last season. Thompson and Gibbons each nished their second season with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Thompson set career highs in goals (20) and points (29) while playing in 58 games, while Gibbons has notched 30 points in each of the last two season. Hartzell has yet to play a professional game and has spent the last four season with Quinnipiac University. With Jeff Zatkoff signed for next season and Brad Thiessen an unrestricted free agent, Hartzell is likely to land a job with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Other unrestricted free agents from last years roster include forwards Warren Peters and Trevor Smith. Free agent Keven Veilleux did not receive a qualifying offer from the Penguins, and winger Chad Kolarik with a club in Sweden last week. Defenseman Dylan Reese reportedly signed a one-year deal to play in the Kontinental Hockey League in Russia next season. Forward Phil Dupuis, who missed most of last season with an injury, signed to play in Germany for 2013-2014.

Celtics hire Butlers Brad Stevens as coach

Corbetts field representative Bill Goldsworthy look on during a ceremony at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport in Avoca Wednesday morning.

BOSTON The Green are getting greener. With aging stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce on their way to the Brooklyn Nets and Doc Rivers coaching the Los Angeles Clippers, the Boston Celtics hired 36-year-old Brad Stevens from Butler as their next head coach Wednesday. The move turns the tradition-bound franchise over to a mentor who is younger than Garnett and wasnt yet born when Bill Russell won his 11th NBA championship in 1969 (or even when John Havlicek added two more in the 1970s). Its the rst time the Celtics have hired a college coach since Rick Pitino in 1997, and their rst coach with no NBA experience of any kind since Alvin Doggie Julian gave way to Red Auerbach in 1950. Though he is young, I see Brad as a great leader who leads with impeccable character and a strong work ethic Celtics general manager Danny Ainge said in a release. His teams always play hard and execute on both ends of the court. Brad is

Dwight Howard, yes, but how about Collins?

Butler coach Brad Stevens was hired by the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. The 36-year-old Stevens is the first coach with no NBA experience of any kind since Red Auerbach replaced Alvin Doggie Julian in 1950. a coach who has already enjoyed lots of success, and I look forward to working with him towards Banner 18. Stevens has spent the last six years as the coach of Butler, leading the Bulldogs to back-to-back national championship games in 2010 and 11. He has a career winning percentage of .772 and never See CELTICS | 4B

The Los Angeles Lakers want Dwight Howard so badly they put up billboards urging him to stay in town, then got Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash to get on Tim Dahlberg bended knee before him. The Houston Rockets want Howard pretty badly themselves, promising the free agent everything but a Texas oil well and bringing in Hall of Famers Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler to try to seal the deal. Around the NBA theres a rush to lock up talent just a few days into the free agency period. Indiana will keep power forward David West for another three years, Martell Webster agreed to a four-year deal to stay with Washington, and Minnesota lled a key need by agreeing to a deal with shooting guard Kevin Martin.

Interestingly enough, no one is talking much about Jason Collins, whose signing could be very important to the NBA for reasons that have nothing to do with basketball. The veteran center would be the rst openly gay player to share a locker room in the league, should a team come forward with a free agent offer. But for now Collins goes to the back of the line because of what he is, not who he is: a backup center just hoping to get a job. Its strictly basketball, said TNT analyst and former Phoenix general manager Steve Kerr. A team will sign a guy like him for basketball reasons, but it will more than likely happen late because you can always sign a guy at the league minimum. The good news for Collins is that hes a 7-footer known as a smart and physical center who can play defense. His numbers last year for Boston and Washington were minuscule averages of 1.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 10.1 minutes per game in 38 games See HOWARD | 4B

Saxe keeps Northwest alive

Paul Sokoloski
psokoloski@timesleader.com

BEAUMONT - Staring incredulously at the rst base umpire, Northwest shortstop Sam Saxe turned his palms toward the sky, wondering why his strong throw to rst base was ruled too late to complete a double play. He left no doubt, though, when he got a bat in his hands.

Saxe slammed two home runs Wednesday as Northwest stayed alive in the District 31 Little League Tournament by beating Bob Horlacher, 7-2 in an elimination bracket nal at the Bob Horlacher eld. It feels good to come through in a clutch moment, Saxe said. His heroics helped See SAxE | 4B

This Date In Baseball July 4 1905 The Philadelphia Athletics scored two runs in the 20th inning, giving Rube Waddell a 4-2 victory over Cy Young of the Boston Red Sox. Both pitchers went the distance. Young did not allow a walk. 1908 George Wiltse of the New York Giants pitched a 10-inning, 1-0 no-hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies. 1912 George Mullin of the Detroit Tigers celebrated his 32nd birthday by pitching a no-hitter over the St. Louis Browns. 1925 Two of the great left-handers of their time Herb Pennock of the Yankees and Lefty Grove of the Athletics hooked up in a pitchers duel that New York won 1-0 in 15 innings. Pennock gave up four hits and walked none. 1939 Jim Tabor of the Boston Red Sox hit three home runs, including two grand slams, in an 18-12 triumph over the Philadelphia Athletics in the second game of a doubleheader. 1976 The Phillies Tim McCarver lost a grand slam when he passed Garry Maddox on the basepaths. The Phillies still beat the Pirates 10-5 at Pittsburgh. 1983 Dave Righetti of the New York Yankees pitched a 4-0 no-hitter against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. 1984 Phil Niekro of the New York Yankees struck out five Texas Rangers to become the ninth player to pass the 3,000 strikeout plateau. No. 3,000 was Larry Parrish. 1985 The New York Mets beat the Braves 16-13 in 19 innings at Atlanta. The game went until just before 4 a.m. on July 5, and was followed by a fireworks display for the 10,000 still left in the stands. Keith Hernandez of the Mets hit for the cycle in 10 at-bats. The score was tied 8-8 after innings. Both teams scored two runs apiece in the 13th. The Mets scored a run in the 18th to take an 11-10 lead, but Braves pitcher Rick Camp tied the score with a homer. Camp then gave up five runs in the top the 19th. Ron Darling, the seventh Mets pitcher, closed the game giving up two runs. 2000 St. Louis Keith McDonald homered in his first major league at-bat as the Cardinals defeated Cincinnati 14-3. 2006 Victor Martinez went 5-for-6 and Jhonny Peralta and Travis Hafner each hit two of Clevelands six home runs, powering the Indians to a 19-1 rout of New York. The win was Clevelands largest at home in more than 56 years, since a 21-2 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics on June 18, 1950. 2006 Jose Contreras tossed 6 2-3 scoreless innings to win his 17th straight decision and lead the White Sox to a 13-0 victory over Baltimore. 2008 Colorado homered six times to rally from a nine-run deficit for the biggest comeback in franchise history and an 18-17 victory over Florida. Chris Iannetta singled home the winning run off Kevin Gregg in the ninth inning. The Rockies and Marlins combined for 35 runs on 43 hits, 21 of them for extra bases with eight home runs. 2010 Drew Stubbs hit three of the Cincinnati Reds season-high seven home runs to lead a 14-3 romp over the Chicago Cubs. Stubbs hit a solo home run in the third inning, a three-run homer in the seventh and another solo homer in the ninth. 2012 Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz hits his 400th career home run, a leadoff drive to right in the fourth inning against Oaklands A.J. Griffin. Todays birthdays: Jared Hughes 28; Sergio Santos 30.

PITTSBURGH Jeff Locke ran his personal winning streak to eight games, Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates hung on to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 Wednesday night. Locke (8-1) was scored upon for the rst time in four home starts but extended his unbeaten streak to 16 outings. Locke, who hasnt lost since his rst start of the season, allowed two earned runs on seven hits and three walks over 5 2-3 innings. Domonic Browns two-run homer with two outs in the ninth pulled the Phillies within one, but Jason Grilli stuck out Young to seal his NL-best 28th save. Philadelphias John Lannan (1-3) fell to 1-5 in his career against the Pirates, getting tagged for four runs on 11 hits and three walks in ve innings.

Brewers 4, Nationals 1 WASHINGTON Kyle Lohse tossed eight sharp innings on short rest and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Washington Nationals, shutting down Bryce Harper and Co. for the second night in a row. Lohse (4-6) allowed one run and four hits, and had a season-high seven strikeouts against the eager-swinging Nationals, who barely avoided back-to-back shutouts and fell back to .500. Harper, in his third game back from a knee injury, went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and dropped a ball in left eld for the second consecutive game. Lohse pitched on two days rest after his last start, Sunday at Pittsburgh, was cut short at 1 2-3 innings because of a 2-hour, 20-minute rain delay. Nevertheless, his impressive June (2-0, 2.34 ERA) carried into July.

Gomes homer in bottom of 9th gives Boston win

BOSTON Pinch-hitter Jonny Gomes homered leading off the ninth inning to lift the Boston Red Sox to a 2-1 win over the suddenly offensively challenged San Diego Padres on Wednesday night. Mike Carp had two hits and scored a run for Boston, which is 7-1 on its nine-game homestand that concludes Thursday against the Padres. Carlos Quentin went 3 for 4 with a double and two singles for the Padres. San Diego has scored just ve runs in its vegame losing streak. Gomes lined a 2-2 pitch off Luke Gregerson (4-4) into the rst row of seats above the Green Monster for his second game-ending homer of the season. Orioles 4, White Sox 2 CHICAGO Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 32nd homer and added a tiebreaking two-run double to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a victory over the Chicago White Sox. Scott Feldman pitched six solid innings in his debut for the Orioles, who held on to win for the fth time in six games after the White Sox threatened against Jim Johnson in the ninth. Davis greeted Matt Thornton in the eighth with a two-run double after Nick Markakis and Adam Jones singled off Matt Lindstrom (2-3), giving the Orioles a 4-2 lead. Baltimore loaded the bases against Ramon Troncoso in the ninth, but Manny Machado forced the runner at the plate and Jones popped out to end the threat. Tigers 6, Blue Jays 2 TORONTO Max Scherzer worked into the seventh inning to become the rst pitcher in 27 years to get off to a 13-0 start, leading the Detroit Tigers to a victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Alex Avila hit a three-run homer and Victor Martinez belted a solo shot as Detroit beat Toronto for the eighth time in 10 meetings. Scherzer (13-0) allowed two runs and seven hits, struck out eight and walked one in 6 1-3 innings. He is the first pitcher to begin the season with 13 wins and no losses since Roger Clemens was 14-0 for the Boston Red Sox in 1986.

A-Rod hitless again with Charleston

AP Sports Writer

Pete Iacobelli CHARLESTON, S.C. Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez grounded out twice and turned a double play Wednesday night in the second game of his minor league rehab stint with Class-A Charleston. Rodriguez is recovering from left hip surgery in January. He spent time in the dugout signing items for his teammates after he came out, and then jogged out to the right-eld stands to sign for fans.

RailRiders get off track in Pawtucket, fall 11-5

The Times Leader staff PAWTUCKET, R.I. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders were roughed up by Pawtucket on Wednesday night, dropping the nal game of the series 11-5 at McCoy Stadium. Alex Hassan got the PawSox off to a fast start in the bottom of the rst inning, doubling home Jackie Bradley Jr., who had also doubled. The RailRiders (40-46) took the lead briey in the top of the third. Josh Bell was walked, Addison Maruszak doubled and Fernando Martinez doubled them both home for a 2-1. Pawtucket tied the game at 2-2 the bottom of the inning. A solo home run by Dan Johnson in top of the fourth to made it 3-2 for the RailRiders. Brent Lilibridge hit a double, took third off a Thomas Neal ground out, and then scored

a double play in the top half of the third. Injured New York shortstop Eduardo Nunez also played his second straight game with Charleston. He is recovering from a strained oblique. Rodriguez said Tuesday he likely would need each of the 20 allowed rehab games to get back in shape. It sure looked that way in his two nights in Charleston. In his rst game since a miserable October, he hit into a double play and struck out in two at-bats. Then he struggled against 19-year-old right-hander Mauricio Cabrera of Rome, an afliate of the Atlanta Braves. Rodriguez swung at Cabreras rst pitch and chopped it weakly to rst baseman Casey Kalenkosky, who made the relay to the pitcher in time for the out. He hit a weak grounder to second baseman Ross Hefey on a 1-2

pitch in the third. Intermittent rain kept the tarp on the eld for much of the day and prevented both clubs from taking batting practice or getting ineld work. RiverDogs manager Al Pedrique said Rodriguez met with the Charleston players earlier Wednesday to discuss baseball life and answer any questions from the young players. Its great for the kids, they really had a blast, Pedrique said. Its too bad he came out so early in the third inning. That was by design. Rodriguez said after Tuesdays game he wanted to see how his body handled his rst game action in nine months. Pat Roessler, the director of player development for the Yankees, told Pedrique that Rodriguez felt ne Wednesday morning and was ready to go. Rodriguez is expected join the Yankees farm club in Tampa for the next stop in his

rehab stint. Also Wednesday, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter moved one step closer to joining Rodriguez in minor league games by running the bases after putting the ball in play during his simulated at-bats. Jeter had two singles, a double and three grounders against a pair of right-handers at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla. Running the bases in the simulated situation is normally one of the nal steps in preparation to play in rehab games. The Yankees expect Jeter to rejoin the big league team after the All-Star break. Jeter hasnt played this season after breaking his left ankle in the opener of the AL championship series on Oct. 13. After surgery, the Yankees captain played just ve spring training games because of soreness. A new break was discovered April 18.

ARLINGTON, Texas Manny Ramirez is apparently cutting his long dreadlocks for another shot at the major leagues. The Texas Rangers said Wednesday they had agreed to terms on a minor league contract with the 41-year-old slugger, who hasnt played in the big leagues since 2011 with Tampa Bay. Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said part of the deal was Ramirez, twice suspended for testing positive for banned drugs, agreeing to cut his hair and comply with our minor league rules on appearance and discipline. Ramirez was set to report to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, and he will be a designated hitter whenever he is activated. He played for three months in Taiwan before leav-

ing the Rhinos on June 20. Its kind of a no-risk ier, said Daniels, indicating there was no time frame for him to be called up to the majors. We like giving guys second chances. We know on and off the eld the good and bad in Mannys career. But were inclined to give him an opportunity here. Ramirez hit .352 with eight homers and 43 RBIs for the Rhinos. The team tried to keep the 12-time All-Star, but he wanted to return to his family in New York. Ramirez was suspended for 50 games in 2009 while with the Los Angeles Dodgers after testing positive for a banned drug. He retired in April 2011 instead of serving a 100-game ban for a second positive test while with Tampa Bay, but later agreed to a reduced 50-game suspension and played in the minors for Oakland in 2012.

A lifetime .312 hitter, Ramirez is 14th on the career home runs list with 555. The Rangers didnt see Ramirez play in Taiwan, nor were they among the teams that worked him out in Florida recently, Daniels said. The Rangers GM said Ramirez was looking for an opportunity either in the U.S. or Japan. Were really just kind of going off the resume here a little bit, Daniels said. If hes productive and we feel he ts our culture here in the clubhouse, well give him an opportunity. If either of those ends dont pan out, then kind of no harm, no foul. Ramirez won two World Series with Boston, including 2007 when Rangers hitting coach Dave Magadan was in his rst year in that job with the Red Sox. But he had a stormy end when he forced his way out of Boston

in a trade a year later, a point that Magadan made to Daniels when they discussed Ramirez. There were some bridges that were burned in Boston, Magadan said. It was unfortunate the way it ended up there because he did a lot of good things while he was there. But in the end it wasnt pretty. Ramirez hit 17 homers in the nal 53 games of 2008 after the trade to Los Angeles, but he has just 28 since then because of injuries and the suspensions. He was 1 for 17 without a homer with Tampa when the second drug suspension hit two years ago. I think its a guy who loves the game and just wants to continue to play, New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before Wednesdays game in Minnesota. You dont ever want to feel like you took your uniform off sooner than you shouldve. So good for him.

Saxe
From page 1B

Northwests Sam Saxe does a fist pump as he rounds third base after hitting a solo home run in the first inning against Bob Horlacher in District 31 Little League action in Beaumont on Wednesday evening.

Bill Tarutis | For The Times Leader

Northwest advance to play for district championship against unbeaten Back Mountain on Friday. Its awesome, Saxe said. All of us, its our last year (in Little League), except for one. Its great to be here now and have a chance to be in the district nal. This is big for us, Northwest coach Brian Hardiman said. This is a privelege and an honor for these guys. Saxe honored the moment with his biggest game yet, but his rst blow was the biggest. After Bob Horlacher struck rst while playing as the visitor on its home eld when Tyler Faux led off the game with a double and eventually scored on a grounder, Saxe tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the rst by lining a shot over the center eld wall. He duplicated the feat with a nearly identical drive in the third inning, using his second homer in as many at-bats to up Northwests advantage to 6-1. I felt like I was zoned into the pitcher, Saxe said. Wed seen him before, we were condent in our hitting. I think my timing was good. Heck of a game, Hardiman said of his star shortstop. One heck of a kid he is. All heck broke loose in the second inning, when Northwest pretty much gained the upper hand with a four-run frame built around three Bob Horlacher errors and a couple of key hits. Michael Sherrick scored the tie-breaking run for Northwest when Jake Reilly reached on a elders

choice, and Brandon Hardiman - Brians son - hammered a two-run single to right eld. Hardiman also doubled and scored Northwests nal run on an error in the fourth. About the only thing that didnt go Northwests way was that call at rst base, when Saxe elded a grounder, stepped on second and red to rst - only to be denied getting the call on the double play attempt. Looked like he was out there, Saxe shrugged, but Bob Horlacher pulled within 5-2 in the third inning, when Mike Lees single drove home Mitch Rome, but that was all Northwest pitcher David Piestrak allowed. The righthander worked a complete game six-hitter, striking out ve and issuing just one walk along the way. Solid pitching, defense was solid, Brian Hardiman said. Now, Northwest has a solid shot at making a run at a Back Mountain team it must defeat twice to take the District 31 crown. Ive never seen them play, Saxe said, but theyre obviously a good team to be in the district nals.

Murray
From page 1B Wimbledon, adding to a 2008 victory over Richard Gasquet. Yeah, youre obviously concerned, Murray said. Youre more concerned about losing the match, not thinking so much that, Im going to lose at Wimbledon. Youre concerned how the match is going and that you may lose. But when youve been in that position a lot of times, you know how to think through it and not get too far ahead of yourself. In the earlier match, it looked as if del Potro would be done before he even broke a sweat. His left knee mummified in athletic tape, the 6-foot-6 Argentine chased an overhead into the corner, but his left foot slipped out from under him. His already aching knee straightened suddenly, then bent backward. Del Potro crumpled to the ground and rolled twice into the far edge of the court. I dont try (for) a spectacular fall, but that was really painful for me, del Potro said. After a break of about 10 minutes, del Potro was back on the court. He broke Ferrer twice in the first set, then moved easily through the second and third against one of the grittiest players in tennis. I have my knee problem, but always the opponent, the other players, can have different injuries, too, del Potro said. You have to be strong, more than the rest. Across the way, on Court 1, Janowicz beat Kubot to become the first Polish man to reach a Grand Slam semifinal. After the match, the players hugged at the net for more than 15 seconds, then exchanged shirts the way soccer players often do at their games. A bit later, Janowicz sat in his chair, clasped his hands over his nose and cried. Right now, Im the most happy person in the world, Janowicz said. About playing Murray, who won his first Grand Slam tournament last year at the U.S. Open, Janowicz said: I hope Andy will feel some kind of pressure. Im sure hell feel some kind of pressure because Great Britain is waiting for the English champion in Wimbledon. During a tournament with more than its share of twists and turns to say nothing of slips and slides Djokovic and del Potro have gone through virtually unscathed, on the scoreboard at least. Neither man has dropped a set. Djokovic overcame a twobreak, 3-0 deficit in the second set to cruise to his latest victory over Berdych, the 2010 Wimbledon runnerup. Djokovic is in his 13th straight Grand Slam semifinal and in search of his seventh major title. Coming into the semifinals, I feel physically fresh, Djokovic said.

Howard
From page 1B in 38 games but hes a role player who can ll a nal position on a team that has specic needs. And at the veteran minimum of $1.4 million, he comes relatively cheap. Kerr believes a team in the Eastern Conference may sign Collins just to have him on the roster in the playoffs to guard someone like Indianas Roy Hibbert on the inside. He said the Suns did the same thing when he was running the team by signing Collins brother, Jarron, on the theory they needed someone to guard San Antonios Tim Duncan in the playoffs. I think Jason probably ts in that mold somewhere, Kerr said. Hes well regarded around the league and I think he still has some life left in his legs. You can sign a guy for one game, one matchup, and it becomes worth it if it works. The question then becomes whether its worth it for a team to pursue Collins when factors other than basketball come into play. Though his announcement in April that he was gay was widely acclaimed throughout the league, theres a lot of attention that will come to any team he plays for simply because of the fanfare it received. And there still is a question on how a gay player will be accepted by teammates in the locker room, no matter how publicly supportive they are. There is still plenty of homophobia in the NBA, as evidenced in the playoffs when Hibbert uttered a gay slur though he later reached out to Collins on Twitter to apologize. Kerr believes that Collins would not only t into a locker room, but thrive in his role as a senior statesman in what would be his 13th year in the league. The key with Jason is you have a guy whos a pro and who adds to the fabric of your team, Kerr said. I know that in talking with Doc Rivers last season that he was raving about Jasons preparation and work ethic and effect on the younger guys. Thats the key with a guy like Jason. You might be getting him for just one play but also to help fortify the character of the team. A representative for Collins said he wasnt available to talk about his chances of signing, in contrast to the media blitz he went on when he announced he was gay. But others who support him say its almost as important that he be signed by a team as it was for him to come out as a gay athlete. Its very signicant because its a big obstacle to overcome, said Hudson Taylor, a former college wrestler and founder of Athlete Ally, an organization working to end homophobia in sports. It would make it clear that a players sexual orientation doesnt affect their viability as an athlete. Thats already the case in the WNBA, where Brittney Griners sexuality didnt stop her from becoming the rst pick of the Phoenix Mercury in this years draft. But while attitudes in society may be changing rapidly, theres still a big difference in how gay female athletes are viewed as compared to gay male athletes. That Jason Collins is a trailblazer is undeniable. That he is a man of great courage is undisputed. But he waited until his season was over before announcing he was gay. He did it knowing there was a real possibility there would not be a job available and he wouldnt be the gay player who nally broke down the locker room barrier. He might not be. But you have to think theres a team willing to take a chance on a player who has already taken a big chance himself.

Celtics
From page 1B won fewer than 22 games in a season. He takes over a team that is three seasons removed from an appearance in the NBA nals; the Celtics won their unprecedented 17th championship in 2008. But with Garnett and Pierce showing signs of slowing down in this years playoffs, when Boston was eliminated by the New York Knicks in the rst round, Ainge has decided to rebuild. He allowed Rivers to take over the Clippers, extracting a rst-round draft choice in return. Amid last weeks NBA draft, the Celtics and Nets agreed to a deal that would send Garnett and Pierce to Brooklyn in exchange for a package of players along with three rst-round draft picks. Now, Stevens will be the one to work with those young players. Our family is thrilled for the opportunity given to us by the leadership of the Boston Celtics, but it is emotional to leave a place that we have called home for the past 13 years, Stevens said in a release issued by the university. We truly love Butler University and Indianapolis, and are very thankful to have had the opportunity to celebrate so many wonderful things together. At Butler, Stevens was 166-49 the most wins for any Division I coach in the rst six years of his career. In 2009-10, the Bulldogs went 33-5, including the Horizon Leagues rst 18-0 conference record, a 25-game winning streak and an appearance in the NCAA title game, where they lost to Duke 61-59 when a last-second, half-court shot bounced off the backboard and rim and out. Brad has given his talent to our university with exceptional generosity, integrity, and humility, Butler President James M. Danko said, calling Stevens a beloved member of our community.

Simpson looks for another title shot at Greenbrier

John Raby
AP Sports Writer

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. Webb Simpson hopes have another late lead at the Greenbrier Classic and this time hang onto it. Phil Mickelson might have a simpler goal: make the cut and go from there. Theyll try to improve on past performances on the Old White TPC course when the tournament starts Thursday in West Virginia. With the British Open two weeks away, Mickelson and Simpson are among only four golfers in the top 20 world rankings entered in West Virginia. The others are Louis Oosthuizen and Bubba Watson. More than half of the top 20 in

the FedEx Cup standings arent here either. Still, theres a dozen major champions entered. Also in the eld is Bill Haas, whos coming off a win last week at Congressional. Hes come close, too, at The Greenbrier, having lost in a three-way playoff two years ago. This week will have a special meaning for Haas. He and his wife, Julie, have brought their 7-week-old son, William Jr. We certainly packed more stuff for this road trip than weve ever packed, Haas said. Its a different week than Ive ever experience on tour, but all for great reasons. Their playground is the 6,500-acre Greenbrier resort, which welcomes tour families and advertises relaxed

fun with its 721-room hotel, casino, spa and dozens of amenities. No one seems to have taken more advantage of those than Bubba Watson. He arrived late last week and shared photos on social media of his escapades in falconry, hanging out at the pool with his young son and during a yover of the resort. Watson was in a playful mood during Wednesdays pro-am, hitting a 4 iron between the legs of an amateur partner standing a few feet in front of him. One group behind, Simpson hobnobbed with NBA great and West Virginia native Jerry West. Its a laid-back week, Simpson said. They really cater toward the families at this golf tournament with player parties, family parties, pizza

night, bowling night. Even New Orleans Saints football coach Sean Payton wanted to get in on the action. Payton was planning to spend a week of down time at The Greenbrier. It turns out hes carrying the bag of friend Ryan Palmer, who gave his regular caddie the week off. I know what game week feels like for me in the fall, and I know what it will feel like for him and what it does feel like for all these golfers, Payton said. Just to be invisible as a caddie and do your job and be supportive, those are the things that I look at as being important for me this week. To which Palmer added jokingly: Just shut up and keep up. Thats it. Simpson, the 2012 U.S. Open win-

ner, would like to keep up on another front. Two years ago, he made the turn in the nal round of the Greenbrier Classic with a one-stroke lead before nishing two strokes out of a playoff won by Scott Stallings. Last year Simpson lost a one-shot lead on the back nine again with three straight bogeys and tied for seventh. Simpson, Brendon de Jonge and Jimmy Walker are the only players to have two top 10 nishes at The Greenbrier. (You) cant really afford a bad nine holes when you win, Simpson said. I think its just me continuing to keep playing well, and hopefully Im in that position on Sunday where I do have a chance to win.

Cavendish wins stage 5 of Tour

I dont think its a matter of the course being dangerous. Today we huge roads, (a) big wide run-in and theres still crashes, Gerrans said. I think dangerous nishes cause crashes, but today that wasnt the case whatsoever. Cavendish made a poor start to the Tour while he struggled with a cold. He watched his Omega PharmaQuickStep squad lose the team time trial Tuesday by less than a second to Gerrans Orica Greenedge squad. Im still suffering a bit. Im a lot better but still not 100 percent, Cavendish said. Finally, after the disappointment of the rst stage and (losing by) less than a second yesterday, weve got the account open. With a few hundred meters to go, Cavendish stayed behind his teammate Gert Steegmans wheel and got into a perfect position to hold off Boasson Hagen. To be fair, today the sprint wasnt too difcult for me, Cavendish said. If Id have lost that today, I would have let the guys down. The 84-year-old Andre Darrigade, who won 22 Tour stages as a sprinter, warmly greeted Cavendish after his win. Really, really a true gent, Cavendish said. Im proud to have met him. Cavendish needs one more stage win to tie Andre Leducq for third on the all-time list of stage winners at the 110-yearold race which is celebrating its 100th edition and he could do that today as stage six again favors sprinters. That would put him within range of Bernard Hinaults 28 wins, the second-highest total after Eddie Merckxs imperious record of 34. You have to show the Tour de France the respect it deserves. One stage (win) on the Tour de France makes a riders career, let alone one stage every year, Cavendish said. But to set any goals, it does one of two things: It sets you up to fail or puts a limit on what you want to achieve. While Cavendish was raising his arms in triumph, behind him about a dozen riders hit the tarmac on the days second crash. American rider Tejay van Garderen was one of those involved in the pileup. I was grabbing a bottle from (BMC teammate) Steve (Morabito) and then we hit this left corner and people hit the brakes pretty hard, van Garderen said. I had one hand on the bars (and) lost control. Completely my fault, just a lack of focus, but nothing bad. Just a couple more cuts, but no broken bones. The mostly at 142-mile route started from the sea port of Cagnes-sur-Mer. The riders maintained a slow pace until crash No. 1 downed 15-to-20 riders. BMC rider Brent Bookwalter, sitting in the middle left of the pack, was the rst to fall after clipping Steegmans wheel and others tumbled around him. American veteran Christian Vande Velde was among them and received treatment on the side of the road. I saw the doctor and checked it out, said Bookwalter, who had cuts and bruises. Its a high-stake environment for cycling. Everyone has a lot to gain and a lot to lose, everyone is pushing

MARSEILLE, France Mark Cavendish nally shook off an illness and a drop in form to earn his 24th career stage win at the Tour de France on Wednesday and close the gap on rival Peter Sagan for the top sprinters green jersey. The British sprinter relinquished his green jersey to Sagan last year and trails the Slovak again. But by winning the fth stage, Cavendish closed within 35 points of his rival, who nished third in the crash-marred trek to the southern seaport of Marseille. Now the pressures off and hopefully it has started the ball rolling, Cavendish said. Australian veteran Simon Gerrans kept the overall leaders yellow jersey by avoiding two crashes the rst as riders neared the end of the stage and the second moments after Cavendish had comfortably beaten Norwegian Edvald Boasson Hagen in their dash to the line.

to the front all the time and theres never a calm moment. Gerrans is only the sixth Australian to wear the yellow jersey the rst was Phil Anderson in 1981 and his Orica Greenedge took the start line with yellow helmets on to mark the occasion.

Gerrans will hope to keep it after the sixth stage today. Its a at 110-mile route from Aixen-Provence to Montpellier. The race heads into the high mountains for the rst time in the eighth stage on Saturday from Castres to Ax 3 Domaines in the Pyrenees.

LONDON In 11 of the past 13 years, Serena or Venus Williams and sometimes both reached the Wimbledon nal. The sisters collected ve championships each in that span. This time around, Serena lost in the fourth round. Venus didnt show up at all, sidelined by a bad lower back. So the 2013 seminals at the All England Club today will be populated by a far less famous, and far less accomplished, bunch. Still, No. 4-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, No. 15 Marion Bartoli of France, No. 20 Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium and No. 23 Sabine Lisicki of Germany provide a tting foursome for a Wimbledon unlike any other. Not only has none of the four women left won a Wimbledon title, none has won any Grand Slam title. Petra Kvitova, the tournaments 2011 champion, probably put it best after losing in the quarternals: Very weird Grand Slam over here. Indeed. Never before in the 45-year Open era had no previous major champion reached the Wimbledon womens seminals. There were eight owners of Grand Slam trophies in the eld when play

began last week. One by one, they left, with Lisicki accounting for three: She beat Francesca Schiavone in the rst round and Sam Stosur in the third, before stopping Serena Williams 34-match winning streak. Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic lost in the second round, the same day Victoria Azarenka pulled out because of a knee injury. The last major winners were sent home Tuesday, when Flipkens beat Kvitova, and Radwanska eliminated Li Na. Very unexpected, Bartoli said, describing the seminal lineup, along with the whole tournament, but thats also the magic of it. She will play Flipkens today, and Radwanska will face Lisicki. The womens quartet, meanwhile, has participated in a total of two Grand Slam nals, both at Wimbledon: Bartoli lost to Venus Williams in 2007, and Radwanska lost to Serena Williams last year. This is Lisickis second Grand Slam seminal; she lost one at Wimbledon two years ago. Flipkens, meanwhile, only once even made it as far as the fourth round at a major tournament until this week, so shell be making her seminal debut. I think Im the most surprising name in the last four, Flipkens acknowledged, but I dont really care, to be honest, at this moment.

In a scramble by NHL teams to free space under the salary cap before the start of free agency, ve veteran players were placed on unconditional waivers on Wednesday. The Minnesota Wild conrmed they waived defenseman Tom Gilbert for the purpose of buying out the remaining year of his contract. The Nashville Predators said they placed forward Sergei Kostitsyn on waivers. Also waived, according to a person familiar with the moves, were Detroit defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo, Vancouver defenseman Keith Ballard and Buffalo forward Nathan Gerbe. The person revealed the list of waived players to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the NHL doesnt announce these moves. Due to the NHL salary cap decreasing this season, we needed to make this difcult decision to give the team more exibility, Wild general manager Chuck Fletcher

said regarding the teams decision to waive Gilbert. The other four players waived on Wednesday could land in the same buyout category in moves made before the freeagency period opens at noon Friday. Former New York Islanders goalie Rick DiPietro cleared waivers and had his contract bought out by the team. Washington defenseman Jeff Schultz also cleared waivers and is expected to have the remaining two years and $6 million left on his contract bought out. The Philadelphia Flyers issued qualifying offers to retain the rights to defensemen Erik Gustafsson, Oliver Lauridsen, Brandon Manning and forward Eric Wellwood. The Flyers declined to make offers to defenseman Blake Kessel and forward Mitch Wahl, allowing both to become unrestricted free agents. The St. Louis Blues re-signed defenseman Jordan Leopold to a twoyear contract. Leopold is a 10-year veteran who had two assists in 15 regular-season games

with St. Louis after being acquired by the Blues in a trade with Buffalo on March 31. Teams had until Wednesday to place players on waivers in order to buy out their contracts. Under the collective bargaining agreement, teams are allowed to buy out contracts of two players over the next two seasons. The clause was included to allow teams to clear space under the salary cap, which is dropping from $70.2 million last season to $64.3 million. Contracts of boughtout players wont count against a teams salary cap, though the players will be paid two-thirds of their remaining salary over double the years remaining on their contracts. Maple Leafs defenseman Mike Komisarek announced on his Twitter account that he is on his way out of Toronto. Set to make $3.5 million over the nal two years of his contract, Komisarek is expected to be bought out after spending part of last season playing in the minors.

The Florida Panthers announced they used a standard buyout on 36-year-old defenseman Filip Kuba, meaning the remaining year of his contract will still count against the salary cap. Kuba had a goal and nine assists in 44 games last season. Gilbert is a seven-year veteran, who was set to make $3 million in the nal year of his deal. The Wild have one of the NHLs most expensive payrolls and needed to make the move to free up space. From Bloomington, Minn., Gilbert failed to make much of an impact with his hometown team after the Wild acquired him in a trade with Edmonton in 2012. Gilbert managed just three goals and 15 assists in 63 games. Kostitsyn had one year left on his deal and was scheduled to make $3 million next season. The move didnt come as a surprise after Kostitsyn landed in coach Barry Trotzs doghouse last season, his third with Nashville. Kostitsyn is a six-year NHL veteran who had three goals and

12 assists in 46 games. Kostitsyn has hinted that he could be open to playing in Russias Kontinental Hockey League next season. Ballard was scheduled to make $4.2 million in each of the nal two years of his contract. He is an eight-year NHL player, who managed just two assists in 36 games with the Canucks last season. The Sabres decision to place Gerbe on waivers came as a surprise after general manager Darcy Regier indicated he had no plans to buy out any of his players. Gerbe had difculty carving out a role during ve seasons with Sabres. Buffalo did re-sign journeyman forward Matt Ellis to a two-year contract. If Ellis doesnt play with the Sabres, the team is counting on him to serve as captain at AHL Rochester. Colaiacovo struggled in his rst and only season with the Red Wings, failing to play to his two-year, $4 million contract. He had an assist in six games last season, and added an assist in nine playoff games.

The number of Americans applying for unemployment benets fell 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 343,000 last week, a sign that employers are adding jobs at modest pace. The less volatile four-week average dipped 750 to 345,500, the Labor Department said Wednesday. Weekly applications for unemployment benets are a proxy for layoffs. The four-week average has fallen 9 percent in the past year. Job growth has been stable. A separate report showed that companies stepped up hiring in June, a hopeful sign ahead of Fridays employment report for last month. Payroll provider ADP said businesses added 188,000 jobs in June, up from 134,000 in May and the most since February. Construction rms added 21,000 jobs, a sign the housing recovery is boosting hiring. Small businesses those with less than 50 employees added 84,000 jobs.

Kmart seeks millions in flood damage suit

Honda Motor Co.s walking, talking interactive robot is running into glitches in its new job as a museum guide in Tokyo. The bubble-headed Asimo machine had problems telling the difference between people raising their hands to ask questions and those aiming their smartphones to take photos at the Miraikan science museum.

The U.S. trade decit increased in May to the highest level in six months as a weak global economy depressed U.S. export sales while imports of autos and other non-petroleum products hit an all-time high. The trade decit rose to $45 billion in May, up 12.1 percent from Aprils $40.1 billion imbalance, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. It was the largest trade gap since November. Exports slipped 0.3 percent to $187.1 billion as sales of American farm products dropped to the lowest point in more than two years. U.S. exports have been hurt by recessions in many European countries. Imports rose 1.9 percent to $232.1 billion with non-petroleum imports hitting a record high. The trade decit is running at an annual rate of $501.2 billion, 6.3 percent lower than last years total of $534.7 billion. A wider trade gap can restrain growth because it means U.S. consumers and businesses are spending more on foreign goods than U.S. companies are taking in from overseas sales. But economists noted that the wider decit does show growth in the United States remains stronger than most other nations. That growth has helped fuel more spending by consumers on domestic and imported goods.

Trade deficit at six-month high

WILKES-BARRE The Kmart Corporation says it is owed millions of dollars in damages after its Edwardsville store suffered during looding in the Wyoming Valley. In a lawsuit led in Luzerne County Court this week, Kmart alleges it is owed more than $9 million after the Mark Plaza Fifty, LP, a subsidiary of Acadia Realty Trust, failed to take preventative measures in ensuring the building would not ood over a several year period. According to the complaint, Hurricane Agnes in 1972 damaged the store, as well as river ooding in 1975, 1996, 2004 and 2006. In 2003, the suit says, the levee walls were raised near the Edwardsville shopping center, and in 2004, the Kmart Corporation installed a 4-foot ood barrier system at the entrances to the store. Most recently during the September 2011 ood, the suit says the store sustained 11.5 feet of water and millions of dollars in damage to the building, mer-

chandise, furniture, equipment and trade xtures. Despite the express knowledge that there was a high probability of ooding, defendants failed to take any measures to prevent damages to (Kmarts) property, the suit states. Mark Plaza Fifty and Acadia failed to maintain the building in a safe, dry and tenantable condition as required by a lease agreement entered into in March 1974. (Kmarts) damages were caused solely by the acts and omissions of defendants, and were not caused or contributed to by any act or omission on part of (Kmart), the suit states. The suit alleges counts of negligence, breach of contract and unjust enrichment, and seeks more than $9 million in damages. Senior Vice President of Acadia, Robert Masters, did not return a message seeking comment. The suit says Mark Plaza and Acadia failed to warn Kmart of potential ooding, and failed to pay for repairs as required by a lease.

The defendants should have followed recommended ood mitigation procedures and sought to further protect Kmarts property. The suit says Mark Plaza and Acadia have an obligation to reim-

burse (Kmart) with interest for monies expended to make emergency repairs to the building to prevent further damage, and that Mark Plaza and Acadia have been unjustly enriched by failing to do so.

Group: Pepsi still contains carcinogen

The Associated Press NEW YORK An environmental group said Wednesday that the caramel coloring used in Pepsi still contains a worrisome level of a carcinogen, even after the drink maker said it would change its formula. In March, PepsiCo Inc. and Coca-Cola Co. both said they would adjust their formulas nationally after California passed a law mandating drinks containing a certain level of carcinogens come with a cancer warning label. The changes were made for drinks sold in California when the law passed. The chemical is 4-methylimidazole, or 4-Mel, which can form during the cooking process and, as a result, may be found in trace amounts in many foods. Watchdog group The Center for Environmental Health found via testing that while Coke products no longer test positive for the chemical, Pepsi products sold outside of California still do. Pepsi said its caramel coloring suppliers are changing their manufacturing process to cut the amount of 4-Mel in its caramel. That process is complete in California and will be nished in February 2014 in the rest of the country. Pepsi said it will also be taken out globally, but did not indicate a time line. Meanwhile, the company said the FDA and other regulatory agencies around the world consider Pepsis caramel coloring safe. Coca-Cola said it has transitioned to using a modied caramel in U.S. markets beyond California that does not contain Mel-4, so it wouldnt have to have separate inventory of products for different locations. It also said all of its products, whether they have the modied caramel or not, are safe. TheCenterforEnvironmental Health said it commissioned Eurons Analystical laboratory in Metairie, La., to test Coke and Pepsi products from California in May and from across the country in June. The lab did not nd the chemical in California products. And it found no 4-Mel in nine out of 10 Coke products outside of the state. But it found levels of 4-Mel that are 4 to 8 times higher than California safety levels in all 10 Pepsi products purchased outside California, according to the Center for Environmental Health. Trace amounts of 4-Mel have not been linked to cancer in humans. The American Beverage Association said that California added the coloring to its list of carcinogens with no studies showing that it causes cancer in humans. It noted that the listing was based

on a single study in lab mice and rats. The Food and Drug Administration has also said that a consumer would have to drink more than 1,000 cans of soda a day to reach the doses

administered that have shown links to cancer in rodents. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo account for almost 90 percent of the soda market, according to industry tracker Beverage Digest.

Europe wants parallel talks on U.S. trade, surveillance

BERLIN European countries agreed Wednesday that talks on a free-trade deal with the United States should start in parallel with discussions about NSA surveillance addressing concerns raised by France. French President Francois Hollande insisted after meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other European leaders in Berlin that the trade talks can start only at the same time, at the same date as talks with the U.S. on concerns over its intelligence activities. That raises questions as to whether the launch of the trade talks will go ahead as originally scheduled early next week. France had called earlier

Wednesday for a two-week delay. The head of the European Unions executive Commission, which will lead the trade talks, said U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder had offered to set up as soon as possible U.S.-European working groups on intelligence issues. We are committed of course to the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, Jose Manuel Barroso said. But we expect that in parallel we analyze the oversight of intelligence activities, intelligence collection and also the question of privacy and data protection. For the trade talks to be a success, we need condence among partners and condence can become better if Europes concerns are addressed, Barroso told reporters. Merkel, whose country has Europes

biggest economy, said leaders at a meeting focusing mainly on youth unemployment were very concerned about reports of the U.S. eavesdropping on its European allies, and said the U.S. offer to set up working groups on the issue quickly was very important. Time is pressing, she said, adding that it was the right idea to say those groups should start work parallel to the beginning of the trade talks, whose opening will follow months of protracted and painful efforts to nd a common European stance. Reports last weekend that the U.S. National Security Agency bugged EU diplomatic ofces in Washington and inltrated its computer network angered European ofcials, who noted that mutual trust is needed in talks

on such a huge trade deal. The deal is expected to boost economies on both sides of the Atlantic by removing tariffs and other barriers to trade. French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius acknowledged to parliament Wednesday that the free trade deal is very important for the United States and very important for Europe. But, he added that the two sides needed negotiations in a climate of trust. Hollande and his government are trying to appear tough internationally since his leadership is under pressure at home, not only from the opposition conservatives but increasingly from the far-left wing of his Socialist party. Hollande may be hoping that its good for him and his popularity to show that he can be strong against the free-market United States.

Packing a picnic for the 4th will cost about $6 per head
American Farm Bureau Federation calculates cookout costs for first time.
special event cookout is affordable for most people, said John Anderson, chief deputy economist with the American Farm Bureau Federation. We certainly know that there are people who struggle with affording food and other necessities, but in general, were blessed with very affordable food in this country. Sixty volunteer shoppers in 22 states checked retail prices for summer picnic foods for the American Farm Bureau Federations survey. The group puts together a similar annual informal price survey about Thanksgiving dinner fare. Last year, the group said a turkey dinner with all the trimmings would cost about $49.48 for 10, or just under $5 per person. However, since this year marks the groups rst Fourth of July price survey, Anderson said the group doesnt have concrete numbers to compare with the 2013 gures.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. How much does it cost to pack a picnic this Fourth of July? Thatll be $6 per person. Thats according to the American Farm Bureau Federation, which launched an informal price survey this year looking at the cost of hot dogs, cheeseburgers and other Independence Day fare. A typical summertime picnic averages $57.20 for 10 people, or $5.72 per person, according to the group, which puts out a similar estimate for Thanksgiving. Five dollars a person for a

- John Anderson, chief deputy economist, American Farm Bureau Federation

We expect the general level of prices to go up around 2 percent a year, Anderson said. Thats kind of normal price ination, and I certainly think that were in the ballpark of those normal price changes over the past year. Aside from burgers and hot dogs, the farm groups picnic menu includes pork spare ribs, potato salad, lemonade, baked beans, watermelon, corn chips, chocolate milk, ketchup

and mustard. That list doesnt include beer, which some Americans are shelling out a bit more for this year. More people are trading up to premium, more expensive beer, said John Davie, president and CEO of Boston-based Consolidated Concepts, which works with thousands of food and restaurant outlets to help them save money on food and other supplies. Davie also said the price of chicken breast has increased since this time last year. Debra Graham agrees with that. Its almost as cheap to buy steaks as to do chicken or burgers, she said outside a Little Rock grocery store where she bought catsh for a Fourth of July sh fry. But Graham, 52, said other prices seemed about as high as they usually are. If you want it, youve got to pay for it, she said.

LOS ANGELES Hallmark Channel and Marie Osmond are parting ways. In a statement Tuesday, the TV channel said it wont renew Osmonds talk show, Marie, for a second season. The shows producer and distributor, Associated Television International, said that Marie was going into syndication as originally intended. A fall 2014 launch is planned, the company said. Hallmark said it wants to go in a different direction in daytime: Its decided that so-called lifestyle shows offering how-to tips are a better option on TV and online. The channel said it expected Osmond to find great success in bringing her talk show to syndication. Shell find a competitive field, which currently includes veteran Ellen DeGeneres and newcomers Katie Couric and Steve Harvey.

Mother-in-laws constant nightly calls invade couples private time

Dear Abby: My wife and I have been married 14 years. During that time her mother has called every single day. Initially, I was OK with it because we were living in Florida and she was in Iowa. However, since we moved back to Iowa to be near her, she continues to call nightly. Shell call during dinner or during our couples time after the kids are asleep. I have expressed my dissatisfaction, particularly because my wife and MIL see each other and talk throughout the day. Am I being unreasonable? This is a touchy subject, and I dont know how to resolve it to everyones satisfaction. Bothered in the Hawkeye State

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE
Dear Bothered: With whom is this a touchy subject? Your wife? Her mother? The two of them? Considering that your mother-in-law lives close by and that she and your wife talk during the day, they appear to be excessively dependent upon each other. As a partner in your marriage, you have the right to a quiet family dinner and private time with your spouse. If your wife cant bring herself to get that message across to her mother, then YOU should set a time after which Mama should refrain from calling unless its an emergency.

Dear Abby: After years of traveling overseas, I have finally found a wonderful way of getting rid of unwanted foreign coins the banks wont exchange. Please let your readers know they can put their leftover coins to good use by mailing them to UNICEFS Change for Good program. Pat in Colorado Dear Pat: Im glad you wrote because so many people travel outside the country during the summer months. Readers, when travelers return from an international vacation, many are shocked to find that banks change only foreign paper currency back into U.S. money, so they are left with pockets full of coins that cant be spent. UNICEFS Change for Good program (which is supported by some

airlines) collects donated coins and uses the money to support disaster relief programs worldwide, as well as programs benefiting children in areas that include education, water and sanitation, HIV/AIDS and child protection. Those interested in participating in this effort should send their coins to: U.S. Fund for UNICEF, ATTN: Change for Good Program, 125 Maiden Lane, New York, N.Y. 10038. Dear Abby: My husband and I disagree about privacy. He believes he should have the password to my email and Facebook accounts. I have nothing to hide, but I think Im entitled to my privacy. Can you settle this for us? Private in Battle Creek

Dear Private: Probably not. Everyone is entitled to privacy, and being private doesnt necessarily mean you have something to hide. Your husband may want to look at your postings because he doesnt completely trust you. Or he may have no interests of his own. No third party can settle this tug-of-war with so little information about what else may be going on in your relationship.

To receive a collection of Abbys most memorable and most frequently requested poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

CRYPTOQUOTE

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The multimedia artist Robert Zend suggested, There are too many people and not enough human beings. You might disagree as you see the best part of the human spirit prevail. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When one opportunity ends, another opens up. Youre focused on the big picture now and not so worried about the details. New relationships will be formed. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In your philosophical mood, youll ponder much, so ponder this: If you think youre happy, you are. If you think youre rich, you are. But if you think youre wise, this is a sign to get humble. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Courage is tested in the face of obvious danger and risk. But it is also tested in smaller, less noticeable ways in the face of the unknown and unknowable of daily life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll connect via breezy exchanges. Talking to friends will be easy. Talking to people you dont know will be exciting. Both will be beneficial to you and yours in the future. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When you experience something marvelous, you sometimes wish you could own it for yourself. But possession can be ruinous. It limits your freedom and comes with too much responsibility. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you pick your battles, dont pick the one going on inside your own heart. Its better to remain neutral while the forces settle the score on their own. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll feel loved. The love you receive will outlast most everything else in life. Bonus: You dont have to keep this treasure of love in a locked safe, because it cant be stolen from you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You dont need to understand everything about the universe. You just need to learn a little more every day, which makes you feel as though you are fulfilling a profound purpose of the human spirit. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A bell cannot ring when it is being held; that mutes the vibration, and no sound will come of it. Youll consider how you might unclasp your hands and let freedom ring in your own life. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll get to decide where to put your time, energy and money. Invest in goodness. Whatever happens after that will be an excellent return on your investment, because goodness never fails. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Make no promises. Happiness is a loose schedule. Having to be certain places at certain times or worse, having to be accountable for getting other people where they need to be at a certain time will be too limiting. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 4). Youll act on behalf of others and will be promoted to a special position. This month brings financial luck. Many will seek your expertise and opinion in August. A special relationship grows closer quickly in September. Your lucky numbers are: 44, 2, 29, 47 and 18.
