U.S. OPEN
Webb Simpson won the
U.S. Open and put two
more names into the
graveyard of champions.
Overlooked for so much
of the week, Simpson
emerged on a fog-filled
Sunday at The Olympic
Club with four birdies
around the turn and a
tough chip out of a hole
to the right of the 18th
green that he converted
into par for a 2-under 68.
He finished at 1-over 281,
and it was enough to
outlast former U.S. Open
champions Jim Furyk and
Graeme McDowell.

THINGS
YOU NEED
TO KNOW
THIS WEEK 5
>> LASAGNAALL AROUND: The average, healthy cat
lives about 12 to 15 years. So how do we explain a certain lazy,
lasagna-loving feline with severe Monday allergies turning 34
this week? Because hes not actually real. That cat is comic
strip superstar Garfield, who made his newspaper debut on
June 19, 1978. To note the occasion, this Tuesday is Garfield the
Cat Day. If you want to check out what Garfield is up to, you
can. Just flip the paper over to Page 18D. (If youre reading
online, good luck flipping things over.)
>> ASTONEHENGE SUMMER: About 4,000 to 5,000
years ago, ancient man decided to move thousands of tons of
stone monoliths to a grassy plain in southern England. Among
the reasons they did this (other than it impressed the ancient
ladies) was to devise a way to forecast the arrival of summer.
We dont have to go that back-breaking route these days.
We have inventions called calendars, and they tell us
that summer will be here this Wednesday at 7:09 p.m.
Celebrate accordingly.
>> DOG DAYS: Ever wonder what your dog
thinks as you head off to work? Where is master
going? Will he come back? Will he bring me
bones? Is that my tail? How does it taste? Well,
this Friday you can answer most of your
dogs questions on Take Your Dog to Work
Day. Its a fun way to spend time with your
best friend and should liven up the work-
place a bit. Unless you work at a hydrant
factory.
>> ABE KICKS BUTT: It was just a
matter of time before Hollywood started mashing
up genres in ways that would make Victor Fran-
kenstein proud. For instance, if you mix Drac-
ula with the History Channel you
might end up with Abraham
Lincoln, Vampire Hunter. The movie, which opens Friday, is
about our 16th president as he, well, fights vampires. If its
successful, you might see other presidents get the action
treatment. Like maybe, James K. Polk: Ninja War-
rior, Rutherford B. Hayes and the Temple of
Doom, or Warren G. Harding vs. Godzilla.
>> YIPPEE KI-YAY: Return with us now to
those thrilling days of the summer of 1988, when
Ronald Reagan was president, gas was under a dollar
and Twitter was just a noise birds made. Be it coinci-
dence or the work of the TV gods, three of that
summers biggest hits will be airing Saturday on
a TV near you. At 3:30 p.m., CMT will present the
action classic Die Hard. What a filmabout a
New York policeman fighting German terrorists
in a Los Angeles hi-rise has to do with country
music is a mystery, but it is a great flick. At 4:30 p.m.,
TV Land presents Coming to America, which might be
Eddie Murphys last funny movie. And at 7 p.m. Cartoon
Network takes us to Toontown for Who Framed
Roger Rabbit? Spoiler: It was Doc Brown from
Back to the Future.

Second of a two-part series
Just north of the Eighth Street
Bridge in Jenkins Township is a
waterfront property that no one
would want.
Perched precariously in the
brush on an island, an entire sin-
gle-story house teeters over the

the area.
But other thanthe house, there

BELLEFONTE After a
gripping, emotionally charged
four days of testimony that saw
eight men from 18 to 28 years
old tell jurors that Jerry Sand-
usky sexually abused them as
children, the
former Penn
State assist-
ant football
coach will
soon get to
tell his side
of the story.
Sandusky
himself
could take the stand in his own
defense at his criminal trial,
but its not certain that will
happen.
During his first remarks to
jurors, his lawyer Joe Amendo-
la suggested he might, though
the jury has already heard an
audio recording of a stilted tel-
evision interview Sandusky
conducted shortly after his No-
vember arrest, denying the al-
legations against him.
Amendolas opening state-
ment, court documents and
four days of witness cross-ex-
amination provide something
of a road map to the defenses
strategy, whichhas beenaimed
at creating enough doubt in ju-
rors minds to avoid a convic-
tion that could send Sandusky
to prison for life.

day ruled in favor of a Sandus-

WILKES-BARRE The
promise of a second business in-
cubator along South Main
Street remains unfulfilled. But
Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber
of Business & Industry officials
said the project is still a go, its
just taken longer than anticipat-
ed.
When the U.S. Economic De-
velopment Administration
kicked in $2.2 million to help
pay for the anticipated $5 mil-
lion project in September 2010,
the projected opening was this
spring. With summer a week
away, the Innovation Center II
remains unbuilt, unbid and
therefore empty of the dozen
businesses and dozens of jobs it
was supposed to house.
New chamber CEO Bill
Moore and Vice President Larry
Newman called the project
complicated but said it is
moving forward, slowly.
Its a very deliberate proc-
ess, Moore said. The project
is not in peril.
Newman said the review
process is ongoing as chamber
leaders and others are making

HAZLETON Police said they
are investigating a report of shots
fired around 6 p.m. Saturday in the
area of Buttonwood and Pine

Barre, was cited with harassment
Saturday after he allegedly pushed
a 54-year-old woman against a car
during a verbal altercation on
Swanson Road.
HAZLE TWP. A shoplifter fled
the Walmart store on Airport Road
with a package of T-shirts around
3:30 p.m. Sunday, state police said.
The suspect is a white man, early
20s, 5 feet, 10 inches tall, 125
pounds, with a thin build. He was
wearing a white T-shirt and plaid
shorts. Anyone with information
about the theft is asked to contact
state police at Hazleton at 570
459-3890.

POLICE BLOTTER
SUGARLOAF TWP. A
Harrisburg man was slashed
fighting off a knife-wielding
robber Sunday morning at
the Shell gas station on state
Route 93 and Tomhicken
Road, state police said.
Eric Briggs, 27, required
sutures for a slash wound on
one of his arms from the
man who tried to take his
wallet, state police said.
Briggs provided this ac-
count to state police:
While he was at one of the
pumps around 9 a.m., a man
approached him from a
wooded area and asked,
Hey, boss, you got a couple
bucks?
Briggs replied he had only
credit cards. The man reac-
hed for Briggs wallet and
was pushed away.
The man then said, Im
gonna get your wallet
whether you give it to me or
not, and pulled a switch-
blade knife from his pocket,
poking at Briggs with the
blade.
Briggs held up his arms to
defend himself and was
slashed on both arms. He
swung an arm and knocked
loose the knife.
Briggs punched the man
in the throat and dropped
himto the ground by pulling
his legs out from under him.
Briggs got on top of the man,
struck him and rolled him
onto his stomach. The man
pushed up and fled into the
woods.
Briggs described the sus-
pect as a white man in his
40s with black-and-gray
thinning hair, a large nose,
missing teeth, approximate-
ly 6 feet tall, 145 pounds and
wearing dirty blue jeans and
a dark T-shirt.
Anyone with information
about the attempted rob-
bery is asked to contact
state police in Hazleton at
570-459-3890.

HARRISBURG Its budget
season again for Gov. Tom Cor-
bett, and that means the same
thing as last year: His approval
rating has plummeted as Penn-
sylvanias no-new-taxes chief ex-
ecutive preaches austerity for
public schools andsocial services
while prescribing tax cuts and
tax breaks for businesses.
This year, though, the stakes
are higher. Elections are in the
fall, and the solid GOPmajorities
Corbett has enjoyed in both legis-
lative chambers are at risk of nar-
rowing withDemo-
crats planning on us-
ing the Republican
governor as a foil.
In addition, Corbett
is asking the Legisla-
ture to fulfill what
could be his biggest
request yet: a $1.7 bil-
lion, 25-year tax credit
for petrochemical re-
finers such as the
Netherlands-based oil
and gas giant Royal
Dutch Shell PLC,
which pocketed a tidy
$7.3 billion profit in
just the first three
months of 2012.
It would be the
states largest-ever fi-
nancial incentive
package corporate
welfare, critics say
and it is shaping up as perhaps
the biggest test of Corbetts abil-
ity to persuade lawmakers and
the public, especially since law-
makers typically like to avoid di-
visive battles close to an election.
Political capital would help,
but Corbett doesnt have much to
spend.
The Connecticut-based Quin-
nipiac University released a poll
June12 that showed Corbetts ap-
proval rating sank to 36 percent
the lowest of his18-monthten-
ure and practically the kiss of
death for anyone seeking re-elec-
tion. That nearly echoed the 39
percent he scoredina Quinnipiac
poll during budget talks a year
ago, except that the proportionof
disapproving votes widened
from 38 percent then to 47 per-
cent now.
Meanwhile, lawmakers round-
ly point to what they viewas Cor-
betts mystifying detachment:
They expect him, as they have
with previous governors, to
mount a town-to-townand, inthe
statehouse, office-to-office cam-
paign to drum up support for his
agenda.
But he doesnt.
Republicans also winced when
he didnt announce his proposal
for the petrochemical
tax credit Pennsyl-
vanians first heard
about it in news re-
ports and Corbett had
littleabilitytoswaythe
initial coverage and ed-
itorials. The liberal
Pittsburgh City Paper
produced a cover that
showed Corbett and a
briefcase-toting man
in a business suit in a
send-up of Time Maga-
zines splashy May 21
breastfeeding cover. A
Philadelphia Daily
News front page
screamed, SHELL
SHOCK.
In many parts of the
state, Democrats fully
intend on using Cor-
bett as their punching
bag in fall campaigns.
Many of the Republicans run-
ning, they all say theyre going to
represent their local constitu-
ents, said Sen. Daylin Leach, the
Montgomery County Democrat
who chairs the Senate Democrat-
ic Campaign Committee. But if
you look at their votes, we see
party-line votes where people
who run as moderates vote for
the craziest stuff once they get up
here. If you say your Republican
opponent is going to be a rubber
stamp for Corbett, odds are that
its true.
Only Republicans voted for
Corbetts first budget which
slashed more than $1 billion in
aid for public schools and 18
state-supporteduniversities. Just
six Democrats voted for the Re-
publican-pennedMarcellus Shale
law in what many Democrats
viewed as an industry giveaway
by Corbett, and none raised a
hand for the voter identification
law, now one of the nations
toughest. Both are being chal-
lenged in court.
Democrats will connect the
Shell tax credit to Republican-
sponsored cuts in aid to educa-
tion, people with disabilities and
health and human services that
they say are driving layoffs and
increases in local property taxes.
Weve already given away the
store to the Marcellus Shale in-
dustry and now were proposing
to give away billions of tax dol-
lars? said state Rep. Phyllis
Mundy, Kingston, the ranking
Democrat on the House Finance
Committee.
For his part, Corbett has been
through ups and down in his ap-
proval rating before.
If youre going to do this job,
you cant be looking at that, he
told a radio interviewer Wednes-
day. The one thing I learned last
year, if you looked at the num-
bers, they were bad during the
course of the budget last year.
They got better as people see
things other than the budget is-
sues.
By late September, his approv-
al rating hit 50 percent, Quinni-
piac reported, and stayed in the
high 40s through November. Re-
publican lawmakers are privately
urging Corbett to make a strong
public case for the tax credit it
is designed to lure an entire pe-
trochemical industry to a state
that has bled 40 percent of its
manufacturing jobs since 1990. It
also helps that labor unions
aligned with Democrats are sup-
portive.
But Republicans also remem-
ber complaining about efforts by
Corbetts predecessor, Democrat
Ed Rendell, to help Comcast
Corp. get a headquarters sky-
scraper in Philadelphia or intro-
duce a tax credit that benefits
filmmakers that use the state as a
backdrop.
I dont know many of my col-
leagues that are scared of this is-
sue in the fall election, said Rep.
Rob Kauffman, R-Franklin. Its
just a matter of, we want to do
things right. This is a difficult is-
sue. Although we want to sup-
port our governor, this is not
something that many of us would
have supported in the past.
Meanwhile, Republican legis-
lative leaders are pressing Cor-
bett to accept a budget for the fis-
cal year beginning July 1 that
would undo his second straight
year of proposing cuts to public
schools and universities, if not to
social services and aid for the
poor.

LOS ANGELES Zoo ani-
mals remain hot at the box office.
Singing stars and Adam Sandler
are not.
Ben Stiller and his voice co-
stars of Madagascar 3: Europes
Most WantedheldontotheNo.1
spot again, with $35.5 million for
the animated sequels second
weekend in domestic theaters.
Studio estimates Sunday put
Ridley Scotts sci-fi adventure
Prometheus at No. 2 againwith
$20.2 million.
Madagascar 3 and Prometh-
eus heldoff two under-achieving
newcomers. The star-studded
musical Rock of Ages, whose
cast includes TomCruise, Cathe-
rineZeta-JonesandAlecBaldwin,
flopped at No. 3 with $15.1 mil-
lion.
Sandlers Thats My Boy
bombed with $13 million, the
worst showing for one of his
broad comedies since the
mid-1990s. ThatsMyBoy came
in at No. 5, behind the $13.8 mil-
lion for Snow White & the
Huntsman, a filmthats beenout
for three weekends already.
Sure, we would have liked to
have done more, said Rory
Bruer, head of distribution at So-
ny, which released Thats My
Boy and most of Sandlers past
movies. But youve got to give it
to Adam. He mixes it up. This is a
really off-the-wall comedy.
Thats My Boy stars Sandler
as a guy who became a fleeting
teen celebrity after getting his
seventh-grade teacher pregnant
and now is a middle-aged loser
trying to reconnect with his son
(Andy Samberg).
As with most Sandler movies,
the reviews were bad, but that
usually does not stop his audi-
ence of young males from show-
ing up.
The R rating for Thats My
Boy may have cut into the mo-
vies business, prohibiting those
under 17 from seeing it without
an adult. Sandlers comedies usu-
ally are rated PG-13.
But Sandler has plenty of fans
in their late teens and 20s, and
that crowd had little interest in
Thats My Boy.
Among Sandlers mainstream
live-action comedies, it was the
worst debut since 1996s Happy
Gilmore,whichplayedinfarfew-
er theaters than Thats My Boy
and came as Sandler was just
climbing to stardom. And factor-
ing in todays higher admission
prices, Thats My Boy sold few-
er tickets than Happy Gilmore.

HAZLE TWP.
Minsec inmate is charged
An inmate at the Minsec private com-
munity correctional facility in Hazleton
was arrested and charged with retail
theft Saturday, state police said.
Jason Richard Horton, 27, was com-
mitted to the Luzerne County Correc-
tional Facility for lack of $5,000 bail.
State police said loss prevention per-
sonnel of the Boscovs Department Store

Markers on Smartphone
Smartphone users can search for more
than 2,300 state historical markers, the
Pennsylvania Historical and Museum
Commission said.
The PHMC added the markers to its
mobile website, PATrailsofHistory.com,
allowing people to search, map and visit
the markers.
The site automatically recognizes
smartphones and other mobile devices
and uses geolocation technology to
identify the nearest site and provide
directions to it.
The markers chronicle the people,
places and events that have affected the
lives of Pennsylvanians and feature
subjects such as American Indians and
settlers, government and politics, ath-
letes, entertainers, artists, freedom and
equality, and factories and businesses.

celebrate its 125th anniversary, and
everyone is invited.
The three-day event to be held at
the Wyoming Valley Soccer Fields

FORTY FORT -- To Sherry Yeni-
nas, Forty Fort is one of the last
old-time communities around.
A drive or walk through the
small West Side borough of just
over 4,200 resi-
dents (2010
U.S. Census)
pretty much
backs up that
evaluation.
With U.S.
Route 11
(Wyoming Ave-
nue) as its
main street,
Forty Fort is a
quiet, tree-
shaded town
with small busi-
nesses along
the main drag and nicely kept,
older homes many of them large,
Victorian-looking houses - on the
cross streets.
The biggest event in a long time
will be the celebration of the towns
125th anniversary, set for Thursday
through Sunday. Yeninas is a mem-
ber of the committee organizing the
festivities, and she loves to talk
about the place.
We have a beautiful community,
she said. The kids have a nice,
safe place to play. Its kind of like
the old-time communities used to
be. You walk down the street and
people say hi.
If Forty Fort is that hidden little
jewel of a suburb, thats possibly
Forty Fort preserves old-time feeling on West Side

PITTSTON Ooooh.
Ahhhh.
Nooooo.
Pittstons annual fireworks celebra-
tion is canceled this year because of
flooding damage to Riverfront Park and
upcoming condominium construction,
Mayor Jason Klush announced recently.
The cancellation is necessary this
year to assure public safety during the
holiday, Klush wrote in a release.
Klush said Pittston has been awarded
federal disaster relief funding and reno-
vations are scheduled for the Riverfront
Park area and along the Water Street
Bridge as soon as the funds are released.
The riverfront area
is beat up, said Joe
Moskovitz, Pittston
City administrator.
Its just not the right
time this year.
Also, the ground-
breaking for the pro-
posed City of Pittston
Riverfront Condomini-
um Development is
imminent and city
doesnt want fireworks
shooting off and peo-
ple gathering near the
construction zone on
Kennedy Boulevard
The Cityof Pittstonadministrationis
also all too aware of the continued chal-
lenges posed by the devastation caused
by the 2011 flooding and especially its
impact on our neighbors in the Borough
of West Pittston, Klush wrote.
He said the Garden Village should fo-
cus on visioning and rehabilitation.
Moskovitz said the cost of the fire-
works ranges from$7,500 to $15,000, de-
pending on the size of the display.
Donations defray the cost, but often
50 percent of the bill is paid by the city.
Klush said it isnt appropriate to solic-
it funds from businesses in Pittston and
West Pittston that traditionally donate
because they are already being asked to
contribute to other community projects,
including the Pittston Library Capital
Campaign and the Greater Pittston
Chamber of Commerce Hometown He-
roes Memorial project.
Funds raised during the librarys cam-
paign will be used for construction of a
$1.5 million, 5,000-square-foot addition
to the building, which will contain a
state-of-the-art conference room with
Smartboards and WiFi capability, larger
childrens section, arts and crafts room,
teen space and a senior citizen area.
The chamber is tryingtoraise $30,000
for the Hometown Heroes Memorial, to
honor local soldiers andpoliceofficers in
the line of duty. The memorial, which
will be placed along Kennedy Boulevard
at the chamber headquarters, includes a

WEST PITTSTON Jan
Lokuta has always liked the vi-
sual arts, particularly as a way
to get people interested in their
surroundings.
Youdbe surprised; there are
a lot of people who will drive
past a site where theres a nat-
ural feature, or a man-made one
like this church, and never real-
ize the beauty of it, he said as
he sat in the front of the First
United Methodist Church on
Wyoming Avenue. For many,
its just background. We are so
blessed here in the Valley, in
Northeast PA, with such beau-
ty.
Since 2006 Lokuta has uti-
lized this notion to organize
several tours of churches
throughout thegreater Pittston
area. The latest will take place,
free of charge, on Sunday at 1
p.m.
The Dupont native has been
involvedinRiverfest for several
years now, and he said he real-
ized that Pittston was being
overlooked.
I knewthere was a cluster of
churches in downtown Pittston
that would make a great tour,
so I went from there.

Wyoming and Exeter. This year
hes bringing it to West Pittston,
on account of the fall flood.
Im looking at these church-
es as arks, or lifeboats, both
during and after the flood,
Lokuta said. They have really
been anchors of the communi-
ty.
Lokuta hopes to have a repre-
sentative from each congrega-
tion present at the site to talk of
the churchs spiritual tradition
and history, as well as highlight
the art and architecture of the
building.
The tour will begin at First
Presbyterian Church on Exeter
Avenue, a stop on the tour that
was very badly damaged by the
Susquehanna River. From there
it will go to Christian and Mis-
sionary Alliance Church, First
Congregational United Church
of Christ and Immaculate Con-
ception Roman Catholic
Church, all on Luzerne Avenue,
then to Trinity Episcopal
Church on Montgomery Ave-
nue and finally the First United
Methodist Church, where a re-
ception will be held to end the
nearly three-hour tour.
Im hoping that at the recep-
tion members of all these con-
gregations, of different denom-
inations, can get together and
talk about the progress theyve
made since the flood, Lokuta
said.
The tour will also highlight
the 100th anniversary of the Sal-
vation Armys presence in West
Pittston.
The Luzerne County Trans-
portation Authority will pro-
vide its trolley for those who do
not wish to walk or car pool.

TORONTO Investigators
combed through the wreckage of
a Toronto stage Sunday to deter-
mine what caused the structure
to come crashing down ahead of
a Radiohead concert, killing the
bands drum technician and in-
juring three other crew mem-
bers.
The British band said it was
devastated over the death of
Scott Johnson, a U.K. citizen in
his 30s who was trapped under
the rubble and pronounced dead
at the scene.
We have all been shattered by
the loss of Scott Johnson, our
friend and colleague. He was a
lovely man, always positive, sup-
portive and funny; a highly
skilled and valued member of
our great road crew, the band
said on its website. We will miss
him very much. Our thoughts
and love are with Scotts family
and all those close to him.
Toronto police spokesman To-
ny Vella said a 45-year-old man
hospitalized with a head injury
was improving and his life was
not in danger. The other two
crew members were treated at
the scene.
Officials from the Ontario
Ministry of Labor searched
through the wreckage for clues
to the cause of the collapse Sat-
urday in Downsview Park. They
were also investigating whether
safety regulations and standards
were followed and if staff were
properly trained.
Ministry spokesman Matt Blaj-
er said the massive structure is
still fairly unstable and work is
under way to make it safe.
He said the investigation is
fairly complex and it could
take some time to figure out ex-
actly what happened. Blajer said
they have three inspectors and
two engineers going through the
wreckage. They were provided
with engineer drawings.
Vella said criminal charges
could result but added that its
early in the investigation.
Live Nation, the company that
organized the concert, did not
immediately return calls seeking
comment Sunday.
Radioheads website had listed
the concert as being sold out,
with 40,000 tickets sold. The
band said fans could get refunds
for the cancelled show at points
of purchase.
Police said the park wasnt full
when the collapse occurred at
about 4 p.m. but there was a con-
siderable crowd already waiting
for the show amid sunny skies.
Mike Kensey, 26, said he ar-
rived at the venue hours early to
get a spot close the stage and see
the opening act by Canadian
band Caribou.

Socialists win parliament
F
rench President Francois Hollandes
Socialist Party won a solid majority
in parliamentary elections Sunday,
polling agencies projected, fortifying
Hollande in his push for governments
to spend money not cut budgets
to tackle Europes economic crisis.
Former President Nicolas Sarkozys
conservatives, who dominated the
outgoing National Assembly, suffered a
stinging loss, according to all estima-
tions. Meanwhile, the far-right National
Front party was on track to win a small
but symbolically important presence in
parliament for the first time in years.
This new, solid and large majority
will allow us now to pass laws for
change, and gives us great responsib-
ilities in France and in Europe, For-
eign Minister Laurent Fabius said on
France-2 television as the results start-
ed coming in.
Elections in France and Greece on
Sunday will weigh on Europes future
and whether its debt troubles will
hobble markets and economies across
the globe.

Stiff winds fan wildfire
Crews in northern Colorado are
facing powerful winds as they battle a
blaze that has scorched about 86
square miles of mountainous forest
land and destroyed at least 181 homes,
the most in state history. Meanwhile,
local authorities are focusing on anoth-
er concern looting.
The destructiveness of the High Park
Fire burning 15 miles west of Fort
Collins surpassed the Fourmile Canyon
wildfire, which destroyed 169 homes
west of Boulder in September 2010.
More than 1,630 personnel are work-
ing on the Fort Collins-area fire, which
was sparked by lightning and is 45
percent contained.
Julie Berney with the Larimer Coun-
ty Sheriffs Office said firefighters can
expect winds of 30 mph with gusts of
up to 50 mph Sunday. Some rain
moved through Saturday evening, but
it wasnt enough to quell the fire.
CAIRO
Military issues constitution
State television says the ruling mil-
itary council has issued an interim
constitutional declaration, a move
that formally hands the generals legis-
lative powers following the dissolution
of the Islamist-dominated parliament.
The televisions brief report Sunday
gave no details, saying only that the
military council will give details at a
news conference the next day.
The widely anticipated declaration is
expected to lay out the powers of the
next president and give the generals
the final say on the process of drafting
a new constitution for the country.
Leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood,
which controls just under half of parlia-
ments seats, rejected the courts ruling.

Search ends for climbers
Four Japanese climbers who died on
Alaskas Mount McKinley were likely
pushed by an avalanche into the same
crevasse where one climber survived.
National Park Service spokeswoman
Kris Fister says rangers believe the
crevasse is the final resting place for
64-year-old Yoshiaki Kato, 50-year-old
Masako Suda, 56-year-old Michiko
Suzuki and 63-year-old Tamao Suzuki.
The shallow avalanche also pushed
69-year-old Hitoshi Ogi into the cre-
vasse early Wednesday morning. He
was attached to the other climbers by a
rope that broke.
He climbed 60 feet out of the cre-
vasse and reached a base camp Thurs-

beating by Los Angeles police officers
was the touchstone for one of the most
destructiveraceriotsinthenationshisto-
ry, was found at the bottom of his swim-
ming pool early Sunday and later pro-
nounced dead. He was 47.
Kings fiance called911at 5:25a.m. to
report that she found him in the pool at
their home in Rialto, Calif., police Lt.
Dean Hardin said.
OfficersarrivedtofindKinginthedeep
end of the pool and pulled himout.

gan CPR until paramedics arrived. King
was taken to the hospital, where he was
pronounceddeadat 6:11a.m., policesaid.
Police Capt. Randy De Anda said King
hadbeenbythepool throughouttheearly
morningandhadbeentalkingtohis fian-
cee, whowasinsidethehomeat thetime.
A statement from po-
lice said the prelimina-
ry investigation indi-
cates a drowning, with
no signs of foul play.
Investigators will
await autopsy results
to determine whether
drugs or alcohol were
involved, but De Anda saidthere were no
alcoholic beverages or paraphernalia
found near the pool.
Authorities didnt identify the fiance.
King earlier said he was engaged to Cyn-
thia Kelley, one of the jurors in the civil
rights case that gave King $3.8 million in
damages.
The 1992 riots, which were set off by
the acquittals of the officers who beat
King, lastedthree days andleft 55people
dead, morethan2,000injuredandswaths

violence, King pleaded on television:
Can we all get along?
King, a 25-year-old on parole from a
robbery conviction, was stopped for
speeding on a darkened street on March
3, 1991. He was on parole and had been
drinking he later said that led him to
try to evade police.
Four Los Angeles police officers hit
him more than 50 times with their ba-
tons, kicked himand shot himwith stun
guns.

side his home to observe the commotion

BEIRUT The head of the
U.N. observers mission in Syria
demanded Sunday that warring
parties allow the evacuation of
women, children, elderly and
sick people endangered by the
fighting in the besieged city of
Homs and other combat zones.
Maj. Gen. Robert Mood said
the observers had been trying for
the past week to extricate civil-
ians and the wounded from the
central city of Homs but had
failed because neither govern-
ment troops nor the rebels were
willing to hold their fire.
The parties must reconsider
their position and allow women,
children, the el-
derly and the in-
jured to leave
conflict zones
without anypre-
conditions and
ensure their
safety, Mood
said in a state-
ment. U.N. at-
tempts to ex-
tract civilians
from the line of
fire over the
past week have
been unsuccess-
ful," he added.
This re-
quires willing-
ness on both sides to respect and
protect the human life of the Syr-
ian people, Mood said.
U.N. observers have been try-
ing for the past week to bring out
more than1,000 families anddoz-
ens of wounded trapped in Homs
by heavily shelling of rebel-held
areas for the past week. The of-
fensive is part of a broader push
by regime forces to regain rebel-
held villages and towns through-
out the country.
On Saturday, the U.N. said the
300 observers based in Syria
were suspending all missions be-
cause of concerns for their safety
as fighting becomes more in-
tense. But the monitors said they
were remaining in Syria in the
capital Damascus.
A U.N. official told The Associ-
ated Press earlier Sunday that a
team of observers had left Da-
mascus for Homs, hopingtoevac-
uate civilians. The plan was not
made public for fear that would
compromise the mission. The of-
ficial spoke on condition of ano-
nymity because he was not au-
thorized to speak to the media.
Theofficial saidtheplanwas to
arrange a very brief cease-fire of
up to 90 minutes during which
the civilians would have been
evacuated from rebel-held areas
of Homs through a safe corridor.

ATHENS, Greece The
conservative party that backs
keeping Greece in the euro-
zone won the countrys na-
tional electionSunday andim-
mediately proposed forming a
pro-euro coalition govern-
ment a development that
eased, at least briefly, deep
fears that the vote would un-
leash an economic tsunami.
As central banks stood
ready to intervene in case of fi-
nancial turmoil, Greece held
its second national election in
six weeks after an inconclu-
sive ballot on May 6. The vote
was seen as crucial since it
could determine whether
Greece would leave the joint
euro currency, potentially da-
maging the worlds economy.
With 66 percent of the vote
counted, official results
showed the conservative New
Democracy winning 30.1 per-
cent of the vote and130 of the
300 seats in Parliament. The
radical anti-bailout Syriza par-
ty had 26.5 percent and 70
seats and the pro-bailout So-
cialist PASOK party came in
third with 12.6 percent of the
vote and 34 seats.
Syriza chief Alexis Tsipras
had wanted to rip up Greeces
international bailout deals
and roll back the new taxes,
job cuts and pension cuts im-
posed in the last two years.

BRUNSWICK, OhioMitt Romneyis
refusing to say that he would overturn
President Barack Obamas new policy al-
lowing some young illegal immigrants to
stay in the United States.
The Republican presidential candidate
was asked three times in an interview on
CBS Face the Nation whether he
would overturn the executive order is-
sued Friday if hes elected in the fall. He
refused to directly answer.
It would be overtaken
by events, Romney said
when pressed for the sec-
ond time by moderator
Bob Schieffer during the
interview taped Saturday
while the former Massachusetts gover-
nors bus tour stopped in Pennsylvania.
He explained the order would become
irrelevant by virtue of my putting in
place a long-term solution, with legisla-
tion which creates law that relates to
these individuals such that they know
what their setting is going to be, not just
for the term of a president but on a per-
manent basis.
Romneys Rust Belt tour swept
through Ohio on Sunday.
In the TV interview, Romney suggest-
edthat Obamas decisiononimmigration
was motivated by politics. If he felt seri-
ously about this he should have taken ac-
tion when he had a Democrat House and
Senate, but he didnt. He saves these sort
of things until four and a half months be-
fore the general election, he said.

because attempts to describe it
to outsiders have tended to
focus on its early decades, most
of them before the borough was
created and before it became an
attractive place to live.
The name Forty Fort
stems from the 40 fam-
ilies who arrived in
Wyoming Valley in the
1770s, laid out present-
day Luzerne County into
townships and built a
stockade near the Sus-
quehanna River along
present-day River Street.
The community split off
from Kingston Township
and became an independ-
ent borough in 1887,
following the lead of the
neighboring borough of
Kingston.
The area does have a lot of
history, including the disastrous
1778 Battle of Wyoming. Its
also the site of the Forty Fort
Cemetery, resting place of
prominent early settlers; the
Forty Fort Meeting House, a
church dating from1807; and
the restored Denison Home,
residence of an early militia
leader.
But whats happened since
then is just as interesting.
Forty Forts secret
Barely a decade after its for-
mation, historian Henry C.
Bradsby was calling Forty Fort
one of the most beautiful sub-
urban towns, supplied by two
railroads, having each a station,
and by electric street cars, pass-
ing entirely through the place
and on to Pittston and Scran-
ton.
If there was a secret to Forty
Forts success, it was the town
lying far enough from the coun-
ty seat of Wilkes-Barre to avoid
19th-century sprawl and indus-
trialism, yet close enough to be
the place where you could live,
educate your children, worship
and still go to work in one of the
nearby cities every day. Its land
was left pretty much unscarred,
since the coal mines that power-
ed the areas economy a century
and more ago tended to be built
outside the borough limits. It
also offered an unparalleled
view of the Susquehanna River,
an encouragement to build
homes along the bank.
Significant businesses did
develop. Early on, the borough
became a stop on Susquehanna
River traffic with a riverbank
store. Succeeding decades saw
the arrival of the Cauldwell Iron
Works, the Matheson Motor Car
Co. and even a movie studio
the Black Diamond company.
But Forty Fort remained
largely a pleasant community of
homes and churches, and in its
early decades even banned
alcohol. Beautiful homes sprout-
ed, and concerts by the elab-
orately uniformed Forty Fort
Band enlivened a host of public
events.
Much of the growth took
place in the 1920s, when a real-
estate boom brought an estimat-
ed 1,000 families into the bor-
ough. In 1934 Burgess (Mayor)
Samuel Boyd proclaimed his
town the garden village of the
West Side and foresaw nothing
but further expansion.
The 20th century did see
some unhappy events. In 1927,
several thousand masked Ku
Klux Klansmen marched along
Wyoming Avenue, having been
granted permission for their
parade there after Wilkes-Barre
refused. In 1959, mine tunnels
deep underground began to
collapse, causing so much buck-
ling of streets and sagging of
homes that federal assistance
had to be requested.
The scenic location along the
river revealed its dark side
when in 1936 and 1972 the Sus-
quehanna poured into the com-
munity, damaging nearly every
building. The 1972 Tropical
Storm Agnes flood scooped
hundreds of graves out of the
cemetery, scattering
the remains far and
wide.
Looking forward
By mid-20th centu-
ry, with a population
about 40 percent
higher than todays,
much of the commu-
nitys pride centered
on its schools. The
Forty Fort Flyers
football team won
several league cham-
pionships, and the
boroughs high school
became one of Pennsylvanias
wrestling powerhouses, produc-
ing an amazing 10 state cham-
pions in 20 years from the late
1930s to the late 1950s.
The 1987 borough centennial
proved a communitywide event
and resulted in a booklet detail-
ing town history, with photos.
These days Forty Fort contin-
ues to be a hub of activity. The
annual Memorial Day Parade
terminates in a ceremony at the
cemetery. The parks have nu-
merous events throughout the
year, and the Luzerne County
sports fields host everything
from youth soccer tournaments
to historical re-creation events.
Many small businesses line
Wyoming Avenue and Welles
Street, the main commercial
areas.
Another popular event is the
West Side Christmas Parade,
which Sherry Yeninas wants to
see expanded to include lots of
area towns. You dont see stuff
like that anymore, she said.
The old borough school dis-
trict is now part of the Wyom-
ing Valley West district, though
the name Flyers a nod to the
nearby airport continues to be
used for youth sports. The
Wyoming Seminary Lower
School is one of the largest
buildings in town.
Yeninas, who has served on
the borough council, is excited
about the upcoming 125th anni-
versary, an event for which
planning began two years ago.
For her, one focus is getting the
word out about Forty Fort.
Fifteen years ago, she says,
when she and husband, George,
were making a move from an-
other Wyoming Valley town,
they quickly zeroed in on Forty
Fort when they sensed it had
something striking, something
they wanted to be a part of.
We didnt buy a house, she
said. We bought a community.

years and a detailed
community map.
Ive been getting a
lot of calls from for-
mer residents who
currently live out-of-
state who cant make
it to the celebration,
said Giordano. They
all want some small
memento of this anni-
versary.
She wanted to
thank the many spon-
sors and volunteers
who contributed time
and money to make
the planning and or-
ganization of the
event successful.
Once you live here
in Forty Fort, it stays
with you forever,
said a smiling Giorda-
no.
We want to share a
little of that spirit
with our neighbors.

J
ohn R. Kuzma, 76, a resident of
Swoyersville, passedawaypeace-
fully on Friday afternoon, June 15,
2012, surrounded by his loving fam-
ily.
His lovingwife is Eleanor (Kutya-
na) Kuzma. John and Eleanor were
blessed to have a beautiful marriage
and share many wonderful years to-
gether.
Born on December 10, 1935, in
Kingston, John was the son of the
late Edward and Lillian (Coniglio)
Kuzma.
John was raised in Swoyersville
and attended the former Swoyers-
ville High School.
A proud veteran, John honorably
served his country during the Ko-
reanConflict withthe UnitedStates
Navy as a Seaman Recruit. Follow-
ing his honorable discharge from
the Navy, he re-enlisted with the
United States Air Force, serving his
country for an additional three
years. During his time in the Air
Force, John had the distinct honor
of being one of the mechanics to
work on President Dwight Eisen-
howers plane. Upon his honorable
discharge on June 13, 1958, John
had attained the rank of Airman 3rd
Class.
Prior to his retirement, John was
a self-employed automobile me-
chanic, owning and operating
Johns Garage, Swoyersville, for
over 20 years. In his earlier years,
John was employed by the former
Connollys Automotive and R.V.
Center, working at both their King-
ston and Edwardsville locations.
A faithful Catholic, John was a
member of Saint Elizabeth Ann Set-
on Parish, Swoyersville.
John was known by many as be-
ing the car doctor. He truly loved
being a mechanic, and it was com-
mon knowledge that John could fix
anythingwithanengineinit! Oneof
his favorite pastimes was restoring
classic cars and anybody who knew
John knew his love for his beloved
El Camino.
Following John and Eleanors re-
tirement, they bought a home in
Ruskin, Florida, and enjoyed spend-
ing their winters there over the past
15 years.
Traveling was a passionthat John
and Eleanor shared with their fam-
ily. Over the years, they were fortu-
natetotravel intheir RVthroughout
the United States and Canada, vis-
iting 31 of the 50 states.
From the time he was a child,
Johnhada great interest inaviation.
As an adult, he fulfilled his lifelong
dream by becoming a licensed pilot
and plane owner. The Forty Fort
Airport became another home to
John and the friends he made there
were like a second family to him.
His great understanding of mechan-
ics were valuedandrespectedby his
fellowaviators at the Forty Fort Air-
port.
Anavidbike rider, Johnwas often
seen around town riding his bike.
His enjoyment for bike riding led
him to help establish the Wyoming
Valley Bike Club in the early 1970s.
John was also an avid outdoors-
man who enjoyed hunting and fish-
ing. He passed down his love for the
outdoors to his sons and grandchil-
dren.
Out of all the things John enjoyed
inlife, nothingcomparedtothe love
and devotion he had for his wife,
children, grandchildren, extended
familyandfriends. His presencewill

ried in 1946 and spent 40 glorious
years together before the Lord
called Agnes to be with Him in

the closest you could ever come to
knowing God on this earth.

WASHINGTON Congres-
sional Republicans intend to
seek quick repeal of any parts of
the health care law that survive
a widely anticipated Supreme
Court ruling, but dont plan to
push replacement measures un-
til after the fall elections or per-
haps 2013.
Instead, GOP lawmakers cite
recent announcements that
some insurance companies will
retain a few of the laws higher-
profile provisions as evidence
that quick legislative action is
not essential. Those are steps
that officials say Republicans
quietly urged in private conver-
sations with the industry.
Once the Supreme Court is-
sues a ruling, the goal is to
repeal anything that is left
standing, said Sen. John Bar-
rasso, R-Wyo., a member of the
partys leadership.
Beyond that, we ought to go
step by step to lower the cost
of health care, he added, a for-
mula repeated by numerous oth-
er Republicans interviewed in
recent days.
Across the
political aisle,
neither Presi-
dent Barack
Obama nor
congressional
Democrats
have said how
they will react
to a high court
ruling that
could wipe out
the legislation
they worked so
hard to enact.
Were not
spending a
whole bunch of
time planning
for contingen-
cies, Obama
said this spring
at the annual
meeting of The
Associated
Press. He expressed confidence
the court would uphold the law,
and neither he nor his aides
have said what fallback plans
are under discussion. We will
be prepared in any eventuality,
White House aide David Plouffe
said Sunday on ABCs This
Week, although he declined to
elaborate.
Among Republicans, aides to
Speaker John Boehner, Senate
Republican leader Mitch
McConnell and other key law-
makers have convened a series
of meetings in recent weeks to
plan a post-ruling strategy.
A Supreme Court ruling is ex-
pected within the next two
weeks on a challenge to the law,
which has drawn fierce opposi-
tion among most Republicans
for its requirement that most in-
dividuals carry health insur-
ance.
While three big insurance
companies announced plans this
past week to retain certain pro-
tections for an estimated 40 per-
cent of all individuals who re-
ceive their coverage through
work, there has been no ad-
vance word from the drug in-
dustry on how prescription
costs for older people might be
affected by a finding that the
law is unconstitutional.
Even so, Republicans say they
have no plans for assuring conti-
nuity of a provision that reduces
out-of-pocket costs for seniors
with high drug expenses. This
coverage gap is known as
doughnut hole.
GOP to
seek quick
law repeal
But Republicans want health
care law replaced slowly after
the fall elections.
By DAVID ESPO
AP Special Correspondent
A Supreme
Court ruling is
expected
within the
next two
weeks on a
challenge to
the law, which
has drawn
fierce opposi-
tion among
most Repub-
licans for its
requirement
that most
individuals
carry health
insurance.
When John Edwards faced
the prospect of an indictment
that could put him behind bars,
he calmly told his mistress he
would probably wind up in a
low-security prison in Virginia
more like a country club than a
jail. She quickly told him she
and their daughter would move
there to be near him if that hap-
pened.
Rielle Hunter details their
phone call just days before his
indictment in her new memoir,
purchased by The Associated
Press ahead of its release.
What Really Happened:
John Edwards, Our Daughter
and Me, also includes Rielle
Hunters mixed views on Ed-
wards parenting of their daugh-
ter Quinn and descriptions of
Elizabeth Edwards outbursts.
At the end of the book, Hunter
says she still has romantic feel-
ings for Edwards but doesnt
know how their relationship
will turn out.
The book also provides a win-
dow into Edwards psyche as
federal prosecutors began their
case against him. Days before
his indictment Hunter asked:
So if youwent to jail, what kind
of jail would it be? One of those
country clubs?
He said, Yeah.
Where? she asked.
Probably Virginia.
So Quinn and I will move to
Virginia. Virginia is a great
state.
The only low-security federal
prison in Virginia is in Peters-
burg, where former Washing-
ton, D.C., Mayor Marion Barry
once served time.
NewYork publishers had said
they were not interestedinHun-
ters book, citing her negative
image, so it is instead being re-
leased through a Dallas-based
boutique publisher, BenBella
Books, on June 26.

BLACK CREEK TWP. -- Keith
Laylo stood along the edge of the
pond on the Penn Rod and Gunn
Clubs property in Black Creek
Township on Fathers Day morn-
ing among his own father, Bob,
72, and his son Nicholas, 12, and
daughter Erika, 5.
At his signal, nearly 100 chil-
dren, also alongside their dads
and grandpas, cast lines into the
pond in hopes of snagging the
biggest fish of the day.
Forty-year-old Laylo had
helped to resurrect the clubs an-
nual Fishing Derby, a traditional
he was a part of when he was a
kid.
I very much remember my fa-
ther bringingme here whenI was
young to do this, he said. I did
win some prizes in my day.
Yeah, and he cheated, his fa-
ther, 72, joked.
Family fishing is a tradition for
many, particularly among fathers
who teach their sons and daugh-
ters thetricks of thetrade. Suchis
the case with Jordon Wilkinson,
14, who was taught howto fish at
the age of 4 by her dad, Kelly.
Its somethingI always loved,
she said. I love casting it out
there and just waiting to see
whats going to come up on the
other end.
William and Kristen Ebert of
Hazle Township have always
fished with their children, Laila,
11, Jackilynn, 7, and Billy, 3.
Its just always something
weve done as a family because
its nice quiet and quality time,
Ebert said. We like to stay a fam-
ily that does things outdoors and
together, especiallyintodays day
and age.
The time spent casting poles
has certainly been a pleasure for
all theEberts andwas never more
evident than when Zion Grove
Trout Hatchery pulled in to load
up the water and Billy sprinted
right toward the truck.
The pond was stocked with
hundreds of fish yesterday and
some of the children had the op-
portunity to dump buckets of
trout in on their own so they
could get a first-hand viewof just
what they wouldhave a chance to
catch. Billy grabbed a piece of
handle to as many buckets as he
could, excited to see the fish up
close, letting out screams of ela-
tion any time one splashed water
up and out onto his legs.
Thegroupwas dividedbyages,
from small children up to 8 years
old and 9 to 15 year olds. Prizes
were awarded in each division,
and by gender, for first fish
caught, biggest fish caught and
first persontocatchthethree-fish
limit. Still, everyone walked
away with something.
Our sponsors really came
through for us this year, Keith
Laylo said, standing in front of a
mound of prizes that included
bikes, fishing poles, squirt guns
and summer toys, among many
other things. We hada lot of help
and support, and we ended up
with great prizes. We want to
make sure every child gets some-
thing.
Each child received a fishing
pole and a grab bag that included
small fishing supplies.
Theyre gone fishin

HARVEYS LAKE -- Agroup of
determined children came out
to Harveys Lake on Saturday
with rods and tackle boxes to
compete in the 11th Annual
Fishing Derby, hosted by the
Sons of the American Legion,
Post 967.
The all-day
event featured
an angling
competition
for children in three age catego-
ries: 3-7 years old, 8-11 years old
and 12-15 years old, with the top
three finishers in each classifica-
tion winning special awards.
Every child who competed in
Saturdays derby was given a
special commemorative T--shirt
and an angling trophy, as well as
fishing tackle and equipment.
The young contestants were
treated to refreshments at the
legion hall after the competi-
tion.
Two new bicycles were also
given out in a free ticket raffle at
the awards ceremony.
This event is absolutely fan-
tastic, said Jane Del Pino of
Harveys Lake, who came out
with her 11-year-old daughter,
Anna, and 8-year-old neighbor,
Vanessa Acevedo. We fish here
every day during the season, but
today is special. The legion does
a wonderful job and the kids just
love it.
A beaming 13-year-old Bran-
don Pieszala of Larksville proud-
ly carried his netted 4 3/4 lb, 21-
inch, brown lake trout to the
judges stand for quantification.
I had a really big one hooked
last year, said Pieszala, who ex-
pected to win a top prize on Sat-
urday. It was so big, it actually
broke my line. Who knows,
maybe the one I caught today
was the same one.

Editorial
Id really like to know where the
chicken comes from.
Martha Payne
The 9-year-old blogger, who had been banned by her
Scottish school from taking photographs of school
lunches and critiquing the food online, is back in
business because of a wave of public support. Her blog, set up about six
weeks ago as a writing project and to help raise money for a
school-meals charity, has drawn more than 2 million hits.
AS PENNSYLVANIAS bud-
get deadline nears, its es-
sential to remember that the
effects of the recession are
still lingering. That is why
state government must
spend sparingly, wisely and
take care to not mistake math for ideology.
The urgency of our fiscal condition falls
well outside partisan politics. Debt is just as
damaging to Democrats as to Republicans.
Budget cuts are felt by everyone. Spending
money we do not have is simply not an op-
tion.
Last year there was much talk about a
supposed $785 million surplus. While
some people were tempted to plug this mon-
ey into dollar-hungry programs, the months
afterward proved what a mistake it would
have been to do so.
As summer of 2011 approached, that sur-
plus largely vanished as tax revenues fell
below estimates. As the budget year ended,
that so-called surplus saved us from even
harder cutbacks. A tax increase would have
simply held us in place and cost the typical
two-income Pennsylvania family more than
$2,200 in additional taxes.
Not only do we need a fresh start in our
budgeting, we need an entirely new outlook:
Pennsylvania must escape its structural
deficit.
Families understand this concept well. If
your paycheck pays your mortgage, auto and
utilities, and you buy groceries with a credit
card but only pay the monthly minimum,
you are building a structural deficit by push-
ing that debt down the road. And thats what
Pennsylvania was doing since 2006.
That is why, once again, the Corbett ad-
ministration is proposing a budget that
spends no more than we actually have. You
only need to read the headlines to under-
stand why this common-sense approach is
the right one.
Global economies are in turmoil and na-
tional unemployment is back on the rise.
Mandated costs for pensions, medical assist-
ance, corrections and debt service will grow
by more than $1.4 billion. Any revenue
growth will come in around $900 million.
This is basic math and an unfortunate reality.
Getting our budget back into balance will
help to grow a sustainable economy and
much more. We need to send a clear signal
to the credit rating agencies that have shown
a growing wariness toward our structural
deficit, lack of reserves and explosion in the
cost of mandated programs. Because the
state puts its full faith and credit behind
many bond issues, a drop in our rating would
add to costs for school districts and local
governments.
Lean budgets do not make for happy
times, but the only other option would be to
continue to spend beyond our means. But
just as the countries of the European Union
are discovering, every debt finally comes
due.
Governor Corbett and I refuse to kick the
can farther down the road and leave our
problems for future generations to solve. It
remains imperative for all branches of gov-
ernment state, county and local to fash-
ion their budgets to suit reality. Facing real-
ity in the here and now is the only way we
can create better days ahead.
Pennsylvania cant keep kicking its debt down the road
Lt. Gov. JimCawley, inaugurated as the states
32nd lieutenant governor in 201 1, is a resident of
Bucks County.
COMMENTARY
L T . G O V . J I M C A W L E Y

S THERE NOTHING the
international community
can do to stop the blood-
shed in Syria?
On June 8, United Nations
monitors describedfindingscat-
tered body parts after a visit to
the deserted Syrian hamlet of
Mazraat al-Qubeir, where a re-
ported 78 people were mas-
sacred. Over the past 15 months
since the civil unrest began
more than 13,000 people have
been killed many of whom
were women and children.
Yet, the worlds powers seem
helpless to work together to
stop the violence.
It is frustrating to stand by
while thousands of innocent ci-
vilians are being massacred on-
ly a few hundred kilometers to
our north. And this frustration
is compacted by the knowledge
that in this case at least our
political autonomy does not
help us to reach out to the em-
battled Syrian people. In some
respects, Syrian animosity to-
ward Zionism actually trans-
forms the Jewish peoples state-
hood into an obstacle, not a ve-
hicle, to extending humanitar-
ian aid.
But even the international
communitys ability to stop the
bloodshed in Syria is limited.
The Syrian opposition is a
patchwork of diverse groups.
Somearedemocratsandnation-
alists. But others are Islamists,
including groups connected to
al-Qaida. Turkey and the Mus-
lim Brotherhood are providing
aid to these Islamist elements.

T
HE BIG POLITICAL
event in the United
States was a rare at-
tempt to recall a state
governor. Scott Walker of Wis-
consin became a target of public
sector unionsbecausehelimited
their collective bargaining
rights.
The unions wanted to throw
him out, but the people of Wis-
consin said no. Walkers victory
is seen as a major blow to
unions, but it is only part of an
Americantrendtolimit thepow-
er of big unions. It is a move-
ment drivenbypolitics, ideology
andtheneedtobalancebudgets.
Will such sentiments travel
across the border?
In some ways, they already
have. In fact, certain actions of
Canadian governments make
Walkers moves in Wisconsin
seem tame.
InCanada, the federal govern-
ment is making its employees
pay more toward pension plans,
as Walker did. It is eliminating
thousands of public service posi-
tions, and it is making decisions
based on managements percep-
tion of merit, not old-fashioned
seniority. The federal govern-
ment also has ended the ridicu-
lous federal worker entitlement
to severance for people who re-
tire or choose to leave their jobs.
These changes are being
made gently, with generous pro-
visions for those being laid off,
payout of accumulated sever-
ance entitlements and phasing
in of the pension changes.

Writer doubts motive
for tax shift legislation
T
he legal responsibility for providing
public education to the states children
rests on the shoulders of the Pennsylva-
nia General Assembly.
Unfortunately, the Corbett adminis-
tration and the Republican-controlled
Legislature have not accepted that respon-
sibility during the past two years.
The Legislature is considering a bill that
would shift some of the funding for public
schools from real estate property taxes to
increases in the states personal income
and sales tax rates. Generally, I support
that concept, especially the shift to person-
al income, but I have reservations about
increasing the sales tax rate.
Given the track record of the past two
years of Republican control and its lack of
support for public education, I also have
reservations about the bill to shift funding
to the state level where taxes are fairer and
are collected in smaller amounts on a
regular basis. Is this just a backdoor at-
tempt to cut funding for local schools even
further, or an honest effort to make taxa-
tion fairer and to increase revenue for
public schools? We dont know for sure.
As you might recall, most taxpayers and
voters were led to believe that income
from taxes on gambling revenue would be
used only to reduce school property taxes,
which is not the case at all.
Without reasonable safeguards to pre-
vent deeper cuts to public schools, this
legislation should not become law.

Some neighborly advice:
Please curb your dog
I
want to express the idea of neighborli-
ness. Why do people think they can
move into a neighborhood where some
people have lived for decades and one of
the first things they do is take their dog for
a walk to go on someone elses lawn? This
should not need to be explained. If you
dont want your dog to go in your yard,
why would you think the neighbor wants it
to go in his?
Just a little advice: There is a law called
curbing your dog that requires you to
carry a plastic bag or other container to
pick up your dogs droppings as you walk
it. This law can be checked out at the time
you purchase the license for the animal, or
contact the city police or dog warden for a
copy.
Please try to have some respect for your-
self and others.
However, if you wont do that, move to
an area that already is a slum. Why try to
turn a decent neighborhood into one, and
why get angry at those people who already
are in a neighborhood from trying to stop
you?

As I look back on the day I took Maggi

bad, said Vinnie Cotrone, presi-
dent of the Riverfront Parks
Committee. It could be worse.
After completing the 14-mile
trek, Cotrone and others con-
firmed that
the river is
free from
any impacts
that could
hinder the
sojourn.
Still, there
are several
visible scars:
mountains
of debris
along the shore, massive tree
trunks lodged high on bridge pil-
ings, twisted hunks of metal
stuck in the mud and plastic
tarps strewn in tree branches.
River channel clear
Dave Buck, owner of Endless
Mountain Outfitters in Sugar
Run in Bradford County, was
pleased to see the river channel
relatively free of trees and other
large debris. He anticipates no
problems with this weekends
annual RiverFest.
You do see islands with de-
bris stacked up, but the river it-
self is in pretty good shape,
Buck said.
For the last 12 years Buck has
guided kayak trips on the North
Branch of the Susquehanna Riv-
er.
His business was flooded last
September, but days after the
high water receded, the river
cleared up, Buck said, and nor-
malcy soon returned.
The river just gets out of
hand, sometimes, Buck said.
Joining the kayak group for
Thursdays river trip were sever-
al officials with the state Depart-
ment of Conservation and Nat-
ural Resources. The agency will
be participating in RiverFest,
and the officials wanted to have
a look at things beforehand.
Assistant District Forester Joe
Ulozas said the river appears rel-
atively unscathed fromthe flood,
and he attributed it partly to the
riparian areas that border the
water.
I was expecting to see more
debris and garbage and even
trees knocked over, Ulozas said.
But things look good. The ripar-
ian areas held up and even the
trees that collected a lot of de-
bris are still standing.
Its amazing the work we put
into protecting structures from
floods, but the trees just with-
stand it naturally by holding in
place with their root systems.
Still, Buck did find a problem
area on the river when he
beached his kayak at the boat
launch in Nesbitt Park.
This problem a pile of plastic
bottles left on the shore, wasnt
related to the flood.
The debris we saw earlier to-
day is from a flood. Thats some-
thing people cant help, Buck
said. But the littering is what
irritates me. Thats something
people have control over.
Time to reconnect
Cotrone admitted he wouldnt
have been comfortable holding
an event that celebrates the Sus-
quehanna River if it were right
after last Septembers flood.
But the flood was more than
nine months ago, and Cotrone
feels that enough time has
passed that people will come out
to this weekends RiverFest and
embrace the river.
The event which also falls on
the 40th anniversary of the
Agnes Flood -- could serve as a
means of healing from the im-
pact of last Septembers flood,
much like the river itself has.
Its a chance for people to
come out on the river and see
things for themselves, Cotrone
said. The flood was a bad thing
for many people, but this area is
resilient. Part of the rebuilding
process is not being afraid to cel-
ebrate the river and enjoy what
it has to offer.

ky motion seeking to put evi-
dence of histrionic personality
disorder before jurors in his
child sexual abuse case.
Clelands order says Sandusky
must also make himself available
for prosecutors so they can pre-
pare rebuttal testimony.
The defense says people with
the disorder wouldnt necessarily
be grooming boys to molest
them, but instead to satisfy the
needs of a psyche with the dis-
order.
The defense has sought to
show how the stories of accusers
have changed over time, that
they were prodded and coached
by investigators and prosecutors,
that some are motivated to lie by
the hopes of a civil lawsuit jack-
pot, and to paint Sanduskys in-
teractions with children as mis-
understood and part of a lifelong
effort to help, rather than victi-
mize them.
Jerry, in my opinion, loves
kids so much that he does things
none of us wouldever do, Amen-
dola said at the start of trial.
Lawyers pursuing a credibility
defense try to give jurors reasons
to disbelieve the narrative pre-
sented by prosecutors, and a fi-
nancial gainmotiveor achanging
story canbe part of that, saidUni-
versity of Pittsburgh law profes-
sor David A. Harris.
This is all standard procedure
for building a reasonable doubt
defense, said Harris, who has
worked as a defense lawyer and
prosecutor. What they dont
have here is any way to say, OK,
these kids have been molested,
but somebody else did it.
The first four days of testimo-
ny, however, may have already
cast the die, if jurors have made
uptheir minds about the credibil-
ity of the eight accusers, young
men ages 18 to 28, six without a
father in their lives, three who
have never known their fathers.
That doesnt mean they cant be
swayed by defense evidence, and
the judge will caution them to
keep an open mind, Harris said.
But what were talking about
is human nature here, and people
have heard a lot already, he said.
In a large and crowded cour-
troom, with a crush of national
media watching their every
word, the accusers recounted in
detail their experiences with the
68-year-oldSandusky, allegations
that include severe sexual attacks
of children too scared and too
small to escape or fight back.
Their testimony is the heart of
the case the government has
beentryingtoprove, inthe words
of lead prosecutor Joe McGetti-
gan, that Sandusky has been a
predatory pedophile.
The men said he plied them as
children with gifts, dazzled them
with the prestige of Penn States
vaunted football program and
then scaled up physical contact
from a hand on the knee or a fa-
therly kiss to fondling, repeated
oral sexandinsome cases violent
anal rape.
Ina recent court filing, Sandus-
kys lawyers have asked the judge
to allowthemto put before jurors
theout-of-court statements made
by the former Penn State presi-
dent Graham Spanier and Tim
Curley and Gary Schultz, two
university administrators who
are fighting criminal charges
they lied to the Sandusky grand
jury and did not properly report
suspected child abuse. If permit-
ted, that could help Sandusky un-
dercut the credibility of a witness
who says he saw Sandusky sex-
ually abusing a yet-unidentified
boy ina teamshower more thana
decade ago. The judge has not
ruled on the request.
The defense also wants Cle-
land to allow into evidence the
entire contents of Touched,
Sanduskys autobiography, say-
ing in a court motion that the en-
tire book would contextualize
the quotes and avoid misleading
characterizations, although so
far prosecutors have used the
book mainly as a source of pho-
tos.
On Friday, Sanduskys lawyers
won an effort to argue that letters
and other alleged grooming by
Sandusky were not anat-
tempt to manipulate the
boys so that he could
molest them, but rather
evidence of histrionic
personality disorder on
Sanduskys part.
During cross-examin-
ation, Amendola
pressed the accusers for
dates and locations, de-
tails of their involve-
ment withthe kids char-
ity Sandusky founded,
arrests or drug prob-
lems, contacts they have
had with Sandusky in
the years since the al-
leged abuse ended and
the terms of representation deals
with civil lawyers. At least six
said they told incorrect or incom-
plete stories in early contacts
with police, and three testified
that some of the details only
came back to them in recent
years.
In some cases, the witnesses
said they were embarrassed or
did not want to get dragged into
the case, while others spoke of re-
cent improvements in what they
recall.
Amendola questioned so-
calledVictim1, whose case began
the wider investigation, about
whether he had ever told a neigh-
bor he and his mother would get
rich from a civil suit.
No, I have dreamed about liv-
inginabighouse, I havedreamed
about driving nice cars, Victim1
testified. Doesnt everybody?
The young man described as
Victim 7 said his memory of the
allegations has improved since
he began counseling a year ago.
Through counseling and
through talking about different
events and through talk-
ing about things in my
past, different things
have triggered different
memories and I had dif-
ferent things come
back, he testified. Its
changed a lot about
what I can remember to-
day and what I could re-
member before, because
I had everything nega-
tive blocked out.
Jurors appear to be
paying very close atten-
tiontothe trial, whichin
its first week moved
along more quickly than
many observers have
predicted. The rapid pace has left
the prosecution close to wrap-
ping up its case in chief, some-
thing that could happen as early
as today. After the 20th prosecu-
tion witness finished on Thurs-
day, Cleland announced a three-
day break but did not explain the
reason, and lawyers remain un-
der a gag order that largely limits
what they may say publicly.
During jury selection Sandus-
kys lawyers asked potential ju-
rors about ties to a list of people
who might be witnesses, includ-
ing members of Joe Paternos
family and Sanduskys wife.

sure we have the ability to build what
we want to build on that site. The lo-
cation at 27-29 S. Main St. was once
occupied by the Blum Bros. clothing
store. The chamber had owned that
property and believed it would be a
good fit for the second downtown in-
cubator.
The first Innovation Center, at 7 S.
Main St., is more than 95 percent occu-
pied, and Newman said there is inter-
est in a second site to provide afforda-
ble office space for small businesses,
encouraging start-up companies to lo-
cate and grow in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania.
We want to be able to do a project
that gives us the ability to grow the
program, Newman said.
If its determined the Blum Brothers
site isnt suitable, either because of
building costs or lack of room, Moore
said the chamber would look at other
properties it owns in Wilkes-Barre as
potential homes for the project. He de-
clined to say which properties are be-
ing eyed.
As of now, its still targeted for the
Blum Bros. Shop, Newman said.
If the chamber does choose another
property, Newman said it would have
to clear the change with funding enti-
ties, including the U.S. Economic De-
velopment Administration and the
states Department of Community and
Economic Developments Industrial
Development Program, which allocat-
ed about $2 million for the project.
We would have to have an individu-
al conversation with each of the gran-
tors, Newman noted.
Newman said the original project
called for a 30,000-square-foot space,
but now the chamber is working on
plans and costs for a 20,000-square-
foot floor plan.
We are attempting to make sure
that the ideal scope of the project
matches the budget we have set for it,
Newman said.

WHEN IT
comes to fan-
tasy sports,
baseball is like
Emma Stone.
Yes, shes a
beautiful ac-
tress who is
talented, smart, charming and
a whole bunch of other com-
plimentary adjectives. The
kind of person who lights up
any room shes in.
Unless that room happens
to be one in which Kate Up-
ton is in.
The uber supermodel and
Sports Illustrated cover girl is
responsible for more turned
heads than a tennis match on
an ocean liner. Shes also, if
we are to continue the meta-
phor, the fantasy sports equiv-
alent of football.
So, for one week, lets turn
our attention away from Em-
ma Stone (Well be back, Em-
ma. Dont cry) and over to
Kate Upton. Not literally, un-
fortunately. But in a meta-
physical fantasy sports kind of
way.
Most of us are about two
months away from football
draft day, but were starting to
dip our toes into a little re-
search and put together draft
wish lists.
So just for fun, heres a
Fantasy Football Top 10 list
for June. It wont look this
way two months from now.
Training camp and preseason
games will have their impact,
but it will act as a benchmark
to see how the fantasy land-
scape evolves.
1: Arian Foster, RB, Texans.
He finished 2011 with 1,224
yards and 12 total TDs and
he missed three games and
most of a fourth. Houston
loves to run the ball and use
their RBs in the passing
game, so this position is a
fantasy juggernaut. If you get
Foster, do yourself a favor and
grab backup Ben Tate in later
rounds.
2: LeSean McCoy, RB, Ea-
gles. You cant argue with 20
TDs 17 rushing, 3 receiving.
When the Eagles score a TD,
its probably going to be
McCoy who does it. He was
responsible for 43 percent of
them in 2011. There is no sign
his role will be any different
in 2012.
3: Ray Rice, RB, Ravens.
This guy is the NFLs Swiss
Army knife: He does every-
thing. He gains tons of yards
on the ground, scores mucho
TDs and tacks on WR-like
numbers is the passing game.
With his role as a receiver,
you could make a case for
Rice to be higher on the list,
but he sure as heck wont be
any lower.
4: Aaron Rodgers, QB, Pack-
ers. The NFL has really
changed. Gone are the days
when running backs dom-
inated the first round of fanta-
sy drafts. Other than a few
RBs, its the QBs who score
the most fantasy points. And
youre not going to find a
more capable stat beast than
the Packers Rodgers. He plays
on the ideal team for passing
numbers: Green Bay throws
first, and asks questions later.
