The state Supreme Court on
Tuesday issued a statement
thanking Senior Berks County
Judge Arthur Grim for his as-
sistance helping Luzerne
County deal with issues that
stemmed fromthe juvenile jus-
tice scandal.
The Su-
preme Court
appointed
Grim as spe-
cial master in
2009 to re-
view thou-
sands of juve-
nile cases
heard by former Judge Mark
Ciavarella.
Aftermonthsof review, Grim
recommended the convictions
of all juveniles who appeared
before Ciavarella from 2003 to
2008 be vacated based on seri-
ous violations of their constitu-
tional rights. The Supreme
Court approved that recom-
mendationinMarch2009.
Grim also oversaw the Spe-
cial JuvenileVictimCompensa-
tionFund, whichwascreatedto
compensate persons who had
beenvictims of crimes commit-
ted by the juveniles whose re-
cords were expunged. The Su-
premeCourt recentlyapproved

HARRISBURG The state
Board of Medicine has filed a dis-
ciplinary complaint against an ar-
ea surgeon who is accused of fail-
ing to advise a patient she had co-
lon cancer, leading to her death.
The complaint against Dr. Fe-
roz A. Sheikh, last knownaddress
of Larchmont Way, Mountain
Top, alleges Sheikh failed to ad-
viseafemalepatient that apathol-
ogy report showed she had colon
cancer, and that he later altered
her medical records to falsely
state he hadnotifiedher of the re-
sults.
The complaint identifies the
womanonlyas M.R. Acivil law-
suit filed against Sheikh in 2007
identifiedthewomanasMargaret
Radginski of HunlockCreek. The
lawsuit remains pending in Lu-
zerne County Court.
Accordingtothemedical board
complaint, Sheikh performed
surgery on Radginski in Novem-
ber 2005 at Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital and removed a tumor
from her colon. Pathology tests
revealed the tumor was cancer-
ous, but Sheikh did not relay that
information to Radginski for two
years.
In 2007, Radginskis primary
care physician ordered a CAT
scan after she complained of pain
in her left lower quadrant. The
scanrevealeda mass betweenher
uterus and rectum.
Additional testing showed the
mass was cancerous and that the
cancer had spread to her ovaries
and other parts of her body. Rad-
ginski underwent chemotherapy,
but died from complications re-
lated to colon cancer on Aug. 30,
2008.
The medical board complaint
says Radginskis family obtained
a copy of her medical records in
November 2007, prior to the fil-
ing of their lawsuit against
Sheikh. Asubsequent copy of her
records obtained by their attor-
ney revealed a note in her chart
had been altered.
According to the complaint,
theoriginal entryinthechart said
the patient was doing well. The
alteration stated the patient was
doing well and also stated that
the patient was informed with
results/options of thepathology
report.
The boards complaint alleges
Sheikh practiced negligently on
the patient andengagedinunpro-
fessional conduct byviolatingthe
standardof careandbymakingal-
terations to her chart.
The complaint was filed on
May20withthePennsylvaniaDe-
partment of State.
Nick Winkler, a spokesman for
the Department of State, said he
could neither confirmnor deny if
a complaint has been filed be-
cause such documents are confi-
dential and do not become public
unless anactionis takenagainst a
physician. The Times Leader was
provided a copy of the complaint
against Sheikh by an unknown
party.
The boards complaint provid-
ed Sheikh 30 days to respond to
the allegations. If the allegations
are proven, the medical board
could suspend, revoke or other-
wise restrict his license.
It was not clear Tuesday where
Sheikh continues to practice in
the area. Attempts to reach
Sheikh for comment were unsuc-
cessful as no phone listing could
be found for him.
Sheik was associated with Sur-
gical Specialists of Wyoming Val-
leyinPlains Townshipat thetime
he treated Radginski. A recep-
tionist who answered the phone
at the office Tuesday said Sheikh
is no longer employed there.
Jim McGuire, spokesman for
WyomingValley HealthCare Sys-
tem, said Sheikh also is no longer
employedbyWilkes-BarreGener-
al Hospital.

O B I T U A R Y P O L I C Y
Little did we know, that morning
The sorrow the day would bring.
The end was sudden, the shock severe
We could never have known death
was so near.
God knew you had to leave us.
You didnt go alone.
Part of us went with you
The day He called you home.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it every day.
But missing you is a heart ache
That never goes away.
We hold you tightly in our hearts.
There, you will remain.
Life goes on without you,
But will never be the same.
Sadly missed by Mom, Dad, Jessie,
Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles,
Cousins & Friends

DALLAS TWP. The town-
ship planning commission
granted Williams Field Servic-
es LLC conditional land devel-
opment and subdivision ap-
proval for its pipeline project
Tuesday night, but officials
said, the company still faces
hurdles concerning zoning ap-
proval.
The planning
commission gave
unanimous ap-
proval to the pro-
ject contingent on
several factors.
Williams must submit a final
plan signed by the property
owner, William Perry; settle a
property ownership dispute in-
volving one of the properties
where the access road will be
constructed; submit a final map
of the project, complete with all
18 properties effected and map
where exactly the pipeline will
be located on the properties;
and submit plans for storm wa-
ter maintenance on the site and
obtain an easement to gain ac-
cess for inspection of the site.
The companys Springville
Gathering Line is a 33 -mile
project running from Spring-
ville Township in Susquehanna
County and ending in Dallas
Township to tap into the Tran-
sco interstate pipeline. The tap
site would be about 1,800 feet
from the Dallas School District
campus, which has been cause
for controversy among con-
cerned parents and residents.
Despite the conditional ap-
proval, Planning Commission
Solicitor William McCall said
the project still must meet any
and all zoning requirements.
Williams is in negotiations
with township officials about
whether local zoning laws ap-
ply to pipelines. Company spo-
kesperson Helen Humphreys
said she didnt want to specu-
late on how the talks are going.
Williams had initially
planned for a metering station
to be built on the tap site, but
the company has yet to request
a zoning hearing on the matter.
Last month the company re-
ceived final approval from the
Wyoming County Planning
Commission to construct a me-
tering facility on 5 acres off
Schoolhouse Road in Northmo-
reland Township.
Humphreys said construc-
tion has begun on the pipeline,
and the company plans to move
forward with the Northmore-
land Township site until an
agreement with Dallas Town-
ship can be settled.
The company began its land
development and subdivision
presentation with the planning
commission in May. Planning
Commission Chairman Jack
Dodson said the commissions
job is not to cause snags in the
process, but rather to ensure
projects are completed proper-
ly.
Every applicant is treated
the same, he said. We ask the
same questions and have the
same formality.
Resident Jim DeMichele said
he was dumbfounded by the
process. He said it seemed too
easy for the company to gain
approval.
At the last planning commis-
sion meeting, there were sever-
al items not addressed by the
company, but through meet-
ings between Williams and the
townships engineers, issues
were satisfied and not further
discussed at Tuesdays meet-
ing.

WILKES-BARRE City
Council will vote Thursday on
the insurance package propos-
al submitted by Joyce Insur-
ance Group for an aggregate
premium cost of $632,953.
Marie McCormick, city ad-
ministrator, said the cost is
about $6,000 less than the
previous years total. The large-
st coverages for the city are
general liability at $222,000
and business auto at $138,263.
Other policy costs are: public
officials, $84,404; property,
$66,936; and lawenforcement,
$60,311.
Council also will consider a
resolution to purchase a new
ambulance from Keystone
Emergency Vehicles for
$174,273. McCormick said the
vehicle will be paid for from
Community Development
Block Grant funds.
Council will discuss remov-
ing one-way signs from Puri-
tan Lane, which runs between
South Sherman and Grant
streets. TonyThomas Jr., coun-
cil vice chairman, said Puritan
Lane was designated a two-
way street in 1997. However,
for reasons unclear to council
and the administration, one-
way signs were recently put up
on the street.
Maybe this is one of those
streets that the Public Works
Department had trouble plow-
ing last winter, Thomas said.
I know vehicles were parked
on both sides making it too
narrow for the plow trucks to
get through.
The signs were brought to
the attention of council by the
citys Traffic Committee after a
resident complained of the
one-way designation.
Councilman Bill Barrett
praised the citys police depart-
ment for quick work on solv-
ing the recent taxi cab robber-
ies. Barrett said the rash of
crimes appears to have stop-
ped.
Council will consider autho-
rizing closing Jackson Street
between North Franklin and
North Main streets on Aug. 25
from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. for a
Kings College orientation
event.
A presentation by Karl Bor-
ton Jr., director of program-
ming and outreach for the Riv-
er Common, was canceled at
Bortons request. Jim Ryan,
city clerk, said the presenta-
tion will be offered at the Sept.
6 council work session.
Borton represents a down-
town group that intends to pet-
ition City Council to urge pas-
sage of an ordinance that
wouldimprovesafetyondown-

ators. He has authored the res-
olution on behalf of bikeW-

WILKES-BARRE A Hazleton man was
sentenced Tuesday to 13 days of time al-
ready served in prison on charges he left
two small children unattended. The chil-
dren were found wandering around in 30-
degree temperatures in February.
David Edwin Garcia, 20, of Wilbur Court,
was sentenced on two counts of endanger-
ing the welfare of children by Luzerne
County Senior Judge Hugh Mundy.
Mundy sentenced Garcia to 13 days al-
ready served to one year in prison. Garcia
will serve the remainder of his sentence on
probation.
If you violate, youre going back (to
jail), Mundy said.
Mundy said Garcia is to have no unsuper-
vised contact with the two children in-
volved and no contact with any other mi-
nors.
Garcia must undergo a drug and alcohol
evaluation, Mundy said.
Garcia was represented by attorney Gi-
rard Mecadon. Assistant District Attorney
Albert Yacoub prosecuted the case.
According to court records, on Feb. 25
police were called to the Hazleton Apart-
ments for the report of two young children
found wandering without supervision.
Police said they spoke with a Luzerne
County Children and Youth worker, who
said that a 4-year-old and 3-year-old were
found in the laundry room of the building,
the 3-year-old wearing underwear, a T-shirt
and socks, and the 4-year-old wearing paja-
mas and slippers.
The childrens mother said she left the
children with Garcia while she ran errands
for several hours.
Garcia later told police he left the chil-
dren to go to the hospital to see if it was
taking any new patients because he is HIV
positive.
Police said Garcia told them that one of
the kids knocked on the door of a neighbor
and he left them standing there without
waiting to see if anyone answered.
Garcia told police, according to court
papers, that he didnt feed the kids all day.

FOSTER TWP. -- The state
Ethics Commission has deter-
mined a former Foster Town-
ship supervisor violated the
states ethics act by approving
payments from the township
to a construction firm of
which he was a half owner.
Jonas Schell has agreed to
repay the township $4,100 to
resolve a complaint filed by
the Ethics Commission relat-
ing to payments that were
made to J&A Schell General
Contractors in 2002 and 2005,
according to press release is-
sued Tuesday by the commis-
sion.
Schell served as a supervi-
sor from 1998 until October
2008, but failed to report his
partnership in the construc-
tion company on statements
of financial interest that are
filed with the state, according
to the commission.
According to the commis-
sions report, Schells compa-
ny received payments in vio-
lation of the state ethics acts
on two occasions:
In January 2005, Schell
billed the township $3,800 for
work his construction compa-
ny performed to clean up de-
bris in the township caused by
a severe ice storm. Schell au-
thorized the work without
first obtaining approval from
other supervisors.
In July 2003, Schell was ap-
pointed project manager for
the construction of a new
township municipal building.
He utilized that position to
obtain bids for work from oth-
er contractors and then, with
the knowledge of their bids,
submitted bids that were low-
er than his competitors.
Schell was awarded various
contracts, for which he billed
the township for $30,500 be-
tween February and Novem-
ber 2005.
All told, the commission de-
termined Shell made a profit
of $15,709 for the storm clea-
nup and municipal building
work.
Schell reached a consent
agreement with the commis-
sion that calls for him to pay
$4,100 and to accept no fur-
ther compensation from the
township. He has also agreed
to file amended statements of
financial interests for the
years 2005 through 2008.
Ex-supervisor to repay Foster Twp. $4,100 to settle Ethics Commission complaint

Schell approved payments to
company he half owned.

Wilkes-Barre will have to pay
Luzerne County $13,055 in back
taxes owed on the former Old
River Road Bakery to keep the
property out of a Sept. 22 back-
tax auction, commissioners said
Tuesday.
A court hearing about the
property was held Tuesday be-
cause the countys tax claim op-
erator, Northeast Revenue Ser-
vice LLC, filed paperwork seek-
ing permission to list the proper-
ty in the back-tax sale.
The city convinced the Wilkes-
Barre Area School Board last
week to forgive an estimated
$440,000 in back taxes on the
property, but the city had not yet
addressed the outstanding coun-
ty taxes.
County commissioners had
voted in February 2006 to for-
give outstanding county taxes
up to that point, but the city nev-
er came back seeking forgive-
ness for the $13,055 owed in
2006 and 2007.
The property was not taxed af-
ter that because First National
Community Bank in Dunmore
conveyed the property to the
city for $1 in April 2008. The
bank had obtained title to the
property after Old River Road
Bakery Inc. defaulted on its
mortgage.
All three commissioners Ma-
ryanne Petrilla, Stephen A. Ur-
ban and Thomas Cooney said
Tuesday that they expect the
city to pay the $13,055.
Cooney said the city should re-
coup that money when it sells
the property.
The city rescinded its original
sale of property to Leo A. Glod-
zik III after complaints that the
property wasnt publicly adver-
tised to ensure it had obtained
the highest offer from prospec-
tive buyers. Glodzik, owner of
LAG Towing, had offered to pay
$38,000 for the property.
Wilkes-Barre Areas forgive-
ness of taxes requires the proper-
ty to be publicly advertised for
sale, and the city must pay the
school district 20 percent of the
sale proceeds.
Urban, the only sitting com-
missioner who was on the board
in 2006 when the $42,349 in
county taxes were forgiven, said
hed like to cancel that forgive-
ness but does not believe its le-
gally possible.
He said the city misled the
county about the project at that
time by indicating the city would
acquire the property and sell it
to a developer for town homes.
City Mayor Tom Leighton has
said town homes were never in-
tended for that parcel because
the site is zoned for commercial
manufacturing.
However, Urbans statement is
backed up by county commis-
sioner meeting minutes that say
the city indicated the parcel
would house town homes with-
in character of the neighbor-
hood.
Urban said he was totally up-
set and disappointed to learn
that the city was selling the
property to Glodzik to store dis-
abled vehicles.
I think there are better uses
for the property maybe a drug
store or a business or town
homes, something that will add
value to the neighborhood and
not create more blight, Urban
said.
City owes county bakery dough
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER

Bakery property.

The violence we have seen is
simply inexcusable. Ordinary
people have had their lives turned
upside down by this mindless
thuggery.
Christine Jones
The police commander in London expressed her disappointment as a
chaotic wave of violence and looting raged across the city earlier this
week and spread to three other major British cities in the countrys
worst unrest since race riots set the capital ablaze in the 1980s.
Its time for Obama
to lead us out of crisis
T
he latest episode in our countrys ongo-
ing financial crisis presents President
Obama with an excellent opportunity
to demonstrate true leadership.
We are a nation that is drowning in debt.
Our debt has led to a downgrade in our
nations credit rating and has resulted in
huge stock market losses. There is only
one president of the United States, and Mr.
Obama has the responsibility to put parti-
san politics aside for the good of the na-
tion. Mr. Obama did not create our current
situation, but he is making a minimum
effort to solve the problem. He mistakenly
fears the consequence of hard choices.
During the political fiasco associated
with increasing our national debt, Mr.
Obama wanted to agree to a large plan of
more than $4 trillion in deficit reduction.
He should go on national television
tonight. Our president needs to outline his
goals and then publish the specifics of his
plan. Let the Congressional Budget Office
score the results and let our news media
publish the specific proposals.
He should use the power of his office to
lead instead of engaging in demagoguery.
The tea party didnt run up $14 trillion in
national debt. Democratic and Republican
politicians, including Mr. Obama, manip-
ulated public opinion for spending pro-
grams that were not financed.
President Obama must propose tax
reforms that eliminate corporate subsidies.
He also needs to propose elimination of
the myriad of credits that allow 50 percent
of tax filers to pay no taxes. Our president
vilifies the wealthy who pay most of our
taxes.
The Bowles-Simpson Commission made
specific recommendations on Social Secu-
rity reform. It is time for Mr. Obama to
embrace the recommendations of the
commission he created.
President Obama needs to change his
focus from re-election to leading America
to a better financial future.
Dan Dunn
Moscow
Government must put
needs of U.S. first
P
ut our nations people first for a
change.
The government robs Social Securi-
ty funds and sends billions of dollars over-
seas money that we dont have. How can
our elected officials possibly send so much
to other countries and not worry about
their own?
How many other countries sent money
to all of these nations? Not many.
Now they want us to suffer even more.
Keep the money here and fix our country
before we have riots in the streets, which is
where we are headed.
Did you ever hear the saying, Charity
begins at home?

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 2011 PAGE 13A
FRIDAY, WE learned that
the economy added 117,000
jobs in July. Better than
many forecasters predicted,
but not enough to bring
down the national unem-
ployment rate below 9 per-
cent. Unfortunately, the modest job growth
is consistent with the gross domestic prod-
uct data released at the end of July, which
showed the economy grew at an annual rate
of less than 1 percent during the first half of
2011.
The recovery has slowed and we need to
ensure it regains momentum. Its critical that
we focus on jump-starting job creation and
reducing the unemployment rate. Nearly 14
million Americans, including 479,000 in
Pennsylvania, remain out of work, and more
than 6 million of these workers have been
jobless for six months or more.
As chairman of the Joint Economic Com-
mittee, I held a hearing on Friday to better
understand our countrys employment chal-
lenges. We heard from Bureau of Labor Sta-
tistics Commissioner Keith Hall, who over-
sees the federal governments jobs data.
Although Congress is not in session, I
thought it was important to go ahead with
this hearing because job creation is such a
critical issue for Pennsylvanians. Im optimis-
tic that the hearing helped shine a spotlight
on the need for additional action to bolster
our economy.
Its imperative that we move quickly to
enact common-sense measures to create
jobs. I have four proposals that can help
move us forward. While none of them is a
panacea, each of them would strengthen our
economy and boost job creation.
1) Provide new incentives for small firms
to hire. My Small Business Job Creation Tax
Credit Act creates a one-year quarterly tax
credit equal to 20 percent of the total in-
crease in employee wages. Firms can benefit
from the credit by increasing their hiring,
increasing the hours of employees or in-
creasing employee wages.
2) Encourage small and medium-sized
businesses to invest in life sciences research
and development through the bipartisan Life
Sciences Jobs and Investment Act which I
introduced last month that doubles the
R&D tax credit on the first $150 million of
research and development in life sciences.
3) Make the R&D tax credit permanent to
give companies the certainty they need to
make long-term research investments in the
United States.
4) Strengthen U.S. manufacturing by cre-
ating a national manufacturing strategy that
supports manufacturing companies and
workers in our country and cracks down on
Chinas currency manipulation and other
unfair trade practices.
The labor market is recovering. After all,
weve recorded 17 consecutive months of
private-sector job gains. But, the recovery
isnt happening as fast as we would like and
it has yet to touch millions of Americans.
People in our state and across the country
are hurting struggling to get back to work,
put food on the table, pay the mortgage or
just make ends meet. I hear the stress in the
voices of people to whom I talk and see it in
the letters I receive from folks across the
commonwealth. We need to help people get
back on their feet. And to do that, we need
to get back to work on creating private-
sector jobs and strengthening the economy.
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, is chairman of
the Joint Economic Committee. For information,

We must implement plan of action to create new jobs
E
CONOMISTS AT
Penn State Universi-
tys College of Agricul-
ture Sciences have
suggested that it is better to
think small and local, rather
than big and global, when it
comes to long-term economic
growth.
Studies performed by Penn
Stateindicatethat small, locally
based companies those with
nomore than99employees and
headquartered in the same
state have a more significant,
positiveandlong-termeconom-
ic effect ontheregions that they
occupy than do larger non-local
or even local companies.
In fact, big, non-local firms
have beenfound, insome cases,
to depress the local economy.
The researchers, who report
their findings in the current is-
sue of Economic Development
Quarterly, studied data from
the Edward Lowe Foundation
on the economic growth and
residence status of business
owners in 2,953 U.S. counties,
including both rural and urban
counties.
Professor Stephan Goetz,
who teaches agricultural and
regional economics at Penn
State, suggested that it might
be wiser for communities and
business organizations to pro-
mote small-scale, local growth
rather than looking outside for
the importation of out-of-area
companies.
The LebanonValleyis a local-
ly focusedregionwithorganiza-
tions already in place that do a
good job of exactly what this
survey calls for the promotion
of small, local businesses.
In a time of bleak economic
news, thats a reason for hope.

OTHER OPINION: ECONOMIC STUDY
Smaller is smarter
for local prosperity
F
OR PARENTS AND
other caretakers of
school-age children in
the Greater Wyoming
Valley, the calendar page re-
flects a cruel reality: Classes
start in only three weeks or
less.
Are you ready, Moms, Dads
and beloved guardians?
More important, is your stu-
dent properly prepped to
make the switch from sum-
mers relaxed schedule to the
breakneck back-to-school
pace of catching buses, learn-
ing new things, coping with
bullies, making friends, hand-
ling homework and abiding by
bedtimes?
You can help to ease the
transition. Dont wait until the
night before classes begin to
get your sonor daughter ready
for the rigors of a new school
year. By getting involvedearly,
you can at the very least
soothe some anxieties, and
you potentially can pave the
way for future academic suc-
cess.
For elementary-age stu-
dents, the experts advise prac-
ticing the school-year wakeup
routine about a week before
classes begin. That can make
Day1less jarring for everyone,
especially for your student if
he rises feeling less cranky.
Establish other routines,
too. Readingaloudis a produc-
tive one; set aside time each
day for stories. Also, if your
childslippedinto the summer-
time habit of wearing a swim-
suit all day, urge himto put on
some pants; then go clothes
shopping for school-approved
outfits.
Meet the new teacher. Ac-
quaint your kindergartener
with her new route to school
and her classrooms; make the
trip together a few days in ad-
vance. Ditto for your middle-
schooler who might be adjust-
ing to a new campus.
Purchase and pack school
supplies in advance, with as-
sistance from your child. Re-
member to buy extra supplies
for home storage, especially if
your child is still a bit lacking
in organizational skills.
Plenty of other seasonal tips
are available online and from
area school officials. Talk with
administrators and teachers
about any concerns you might
have.
Your involvement at
home, the bus stop, the play-
ground, the classroom can
propel your student to reach
his or her potential in school
and in later life; dont delay.
Get started today.

of the six-story building. They
will be marketed to the Wilkes
University community and will
be called Residences at the Y.
We couldnt be more thrilled
with the plan to expand our col-
laboration with Wilkes Universi-
ty, Thomas said. Since the mid
70s, we have had Wilkes stu-
dents living in the building.
They currently occupy the en-
tire fourth floor.
Tim Gigliotti, project manager
for Radnor Property Group LLC,
of Wayne, said work has already
begun. He said the apartments
are scheduled to be completed
by Feb. 28 and
the entire pro-
ject should be
finished by
March 31.
The exte-
rior will get a
full restoration
bricks, tile
and roof. This
project will en-
hance and pre-
serve this his-
toric building
for the next 80
years, Gigliotti said.
Thomas said the renovation
was made possible through the
support of Govs. Tom Corbett
and Edward G. Rendell who ap-
proved a $5 million state Rede-
velopment Assistance Capital
Program grant. Thomas said the
project also received support
from the Greater Wilkes-Barre
Industrial Fund, New Markets
Tax Credits provided by Com-
monwealth Cornerstone Group,
City First Bank and Wells Fargo
Bank, Historic Tax Credits pro-
vided by CityScape Capital
Group and financing from the
Pennsylvania Housing Finance
Agency, Luzerne Bank and
Landmark Bank. He said the
YMCA also will undertake a cap-
ital campaign in support of the
project.
The general construction con-
tract was awarded to The Quan-
del Group Inc. of Harrisburg,
and the development manager is
Radnor Property Group.
The Wilkes-Barre YMCA is a
treasured community asset in
the heart of the city, said Mayor
Tom Leighton. I am excited by
the announcement today that
the project has begun, and this is
yet another example of the great
things that can be achieved
when public and private groups
band together. This mixed-use
project enhances the vitality of
this historic building, respects
the integrity of the neighbor-
hood and sustains the continued
rebirth of Wilkes-Barres down-
town, while saving an important
thread of the fabric of the city.
Gigliotti said project details
include revitalizing the historic
and traditional front entrance on
Northampton Street that will
create a dedicated entrance for
the residences. The lobby will
be equipped with comfortable
seating, a mail area and an ad-
jacent leasing office. Also, a
great room will be located
nearby, providing social interac-
tion space with a wide-screen
television, table games and seat-
ing.
The racquetball and squash
courts will be lost to the project,
Thomas said, noting that YMCA
officials are exploring a cooper-
ative agreement with The Ath-
letic Club in Plains Township
that would enable the Ys rac-
quetball players to use another
facility on a reciprocal member-
ship policy.
A new fitness center will be
set within the historic space of
the now-closed Clift Pool. Lock-
er rooms will be modernized
and a new elevator will help
make movement through the
building easier.
Other aspects of the project
will include relocation of the
weight room to the first-floor
mens/boys family locker room.
Plans also call for a new lounge
and additional lockers in the
mens fitness center and expan-
sion and renovation of the wom-
ens fitness center, both of which
are in the basement.
The doors of the YMCA have
always been open, said state
Sen. John Yudichak, D-Ply-
mouth Township. This is a
great opportunity to invest in
our young people. This project
will keep the YMCA relevant in
our region and assure that those
doors remain open.

fees, for a total of $375,999.
That March, Mundy granted the cou-
ples request for an additional $122,705
in delay damages, raising the total
award to $498,705.
But Joseph Rescigno said Friday that
no payment was made, prompting his
attorney to file court paperwork
known as a money judgment this
May stating that the tab had escalated
to $585,985 with added interest and
costs.
The money judgment, presented by
the Rescignos attorney, James J. Cona-
boy, of Scranton, caused the authority
properties to be listed in the sheriffs
sale auction held Friday.
However, the sale of the properties
was continued, or delayed, until the
next sale in October because Conaboy
did not attend Fridays proceeding,
sheriffs office representatives said.
Conaboy and authority Solicitor
Frank Hoegen could not be reached for
comment.
The properties up for auction in-
clude a townhouse apartment complex
at 343-345 S. Empire St. on 1 acre
assessed at $909,500, a 4.16-acre va-
cant parcel on Scott Street assessed at
$61,600 and a 2.56-acre lot on South
Main Street all in Wilkes-Barre.
A small residential lot on Scott
Street and a 2.32-acre parcel identified
in county records as a street off A-
cademy Street are also up for auction,
county records show.
Forcing a sale of authority assets
was the only option because the au-
thority and city have not paid the set-
tlement as required, Joseph Rescigno
said.
The authority, which was created by
the city but operates independently,
has been haunted by a lack of funding.
The authority met in June, after 3
1/2 years of inactivity, to reorganize
and address some outstanding busi-
ness, including acceptance of a $20,000
loan from the city that allowed the
authority to pay its outstanding bills.
The current authority members are
James Conahan Jr., Theodore Wam-
pole, Terrance Henry, Robert Maley
and Michael Kaye.

The jury categorically rejected
the bulk of the governments case.
Yet, under the present scenario, it
is only the defendant that suffers;
the government, it seems, has suf-

Ruzzo also takes issue with the
fact that Ciavarellacontinuestobe

that aspect of thecasewasnot pro-

The media attention to this

branded as the Kids for Cash

previously about 50-50.
Smith Barneys contract as
overall fund advisor expires in
October, and board members
said they will likely exercise an
option to renew the companys
contract, rather than launching a
public search.
The company had been hired
in September 2008, replacing
Merrill Lynch.
Commissioner Maryanne Pe-
trilla said she and other board
members are pleased with the
companys performance.
The board may vote on the
contract renewal at a yet-to-be-
scheduled meeting in Septem-
ber.
The three county commission-
ers, controller and treasurer
serve on the retirement board.
The boards structure will
change under the new home rule
government implemented in Ja-
nuary, with the five seats filled
by the county manager, budget/
finance division head, county
council chairperson or his/her
designee, a county council mem-
ber selected by council and a
member of the retirement sys-
tem selected by a vote of its
members.
In other business Tuesday, the
board voted to invest $2 million
of the fund in emerging mar-
kets. The board also terminated
money manager Chase Invest-
ment Council and hired a new
manager -- Neuberger Berman,
of New York City to handle the
$3.3 million in large quality
growth stocks that had been un-
der Chase.
PENSION
Continued from Page 1A
Former Luzerne County Jury
Commissioner Gerald Bonners
legal battle to claim a county
pension is still pending in county
court, county Retirement Board
Solicitor Donald Karpowich told
the board Tuesday.
The county refused the pension
because Bonner pleaded guilty to
federal charges as part of the
federal corruption probe.
Karpowich said all county judges
recused themselves from hearing
Bonners pension suit, so the
matter has been forwarded to an
out-of-county senior judge for a
ruling.
Bonner, 66, of Mountain Top, was
sentenced in April to house arrest
after pleading guilty to a charge of
corrupt receipt of a reward. Bon-
ner was accused by investigators
of helping fellow county Housing
Authority member William Ma-
guire obtain reimbursement from
a contractor for Maguires author-
ity-related trip to Florida.
Bonner has previously said in
court papers he is eligible for his
county pension because the crime
happened in relation to the hous-
ing authority job, not his county
job as a jury commissioner.
Attorneys for the retirement board
say Bonner was still acting as a
public employee/official because
the crime happened while he was
serving in both positions.

Balester was a minority part-

Wilkes-Barre, and owned ABBA

sold T-shirts, coffee mugs and

of volunteers for the Luzerne
County Republican Party, and
taught Bible studies at the Lu-

Typically, two types of traps
are used by the DEP and Lu-
zerne County Conservation Dis-
trict to collect mosquitoes to
test, and the conservation dis-
trict has been collecting birds
that have been dead less than 48
hours and do not have an obvi-
ous cause of death.
Stredny said between 10 and
300 mosquitoes are found in
each of the traps, and 30 traps
are tested a week in Luzerne
County.
When mosquitoes are collect-
ed, they are put on dry ice, and
sent to Harrisburg to be DNA
tested.
If a test is positive, Stredny
said, he will gobacktowhere the
mosquito was found and try to
eradicate breeding areas within
a certain radius, often wearing
waders and going in water to
find larvae.
Mosquitoes are tougher to
combat, Stredny said, if allowed
to live past the larvae stage.
Stredny said whats important
is for people to know the virus
has been well-established in the
state for the past 10 years and
that there are a number of ways
to prevent mosquito breeding.
Farms, Stredny said, are the
biggest offenders of mosquito
breeding areas because of pool-
ing water.

37-acre property is assessed at
$1.237 million, and bids were to
start at $806.
Unless taxes were paid, proper-
ty owners had to obtain a court
order or file for bankruptcy to get
their properties removed from
the sale.
Airport Office Complex Inc. in-
formed the countys tax claimop-
erators Tuesday afternoon that it
had filed for bankruptcy, which
means its former veterinary clin-
ic on WilliamStreet in Avoca and
commercial office building on
John Street in Pittston Township
were yanked from the sale.
The countys tax-claim oper-
ator, Northeast Revenue Service
LLC, also pulledabout 50 proper-
ties from the sale but will list
themfor auction at a special free-
and-clear sale on Sept. 22. The
company decided to continue
these properties to the next sale
because fresh reviews of the re-
cords showed that one or more
liens have recently been filed
against these properties. Lien
holders must be notified of back-
tax sales so buyers wont be stuck
with legal issues obtaining clean
titles to the properties, the com-
pany said.
About 375properties remainin
the sale, which begins at 10 a.m.
in the county courthouse in
Wilkes-Barre. The sale has been
moved from the rotunda to the
second floor jury assembly room
because the rotunda has been
blockedoff due tothe courthouse
construction project.
A total 241 individuals and
businesses the highest number
in recent memory have regis-
tered to bid in todays sale, ac-
cording to Northeast Revenue.
Bidding typically starts around
$800 because this type of sale is
designed to cover only the coun-
tys costs to get the properties to
auction. Payments beyond the
starting bids are split up among
taxing bodies that lost money
when the taxes werent paid.

ties in the auction may be viewed

TRUCKSVILLEFor thepast
30 years the Wilkes-Barre
Triathlon has welcomed all
competitors to swim through
Harveys Lake, to spin the thin
wheels of racingbikes inandout
of sections of almost the entire
Back Mountain region and to
finish the final six miles by foot
to the finish line, found for the
past two decades in the Penn
State Wilkes-Barre campus.
The triathlon has welcomed
competitors fromas close as the
surrounding areas of the Wyom-
ing Valley to as far away as Aus-
tralia, along the way testing the
likes of Hawaii Ironman cham-
pions, Olympic qualifiers, and,
in1988, a fresh-faced newcomer
from Texas by the name of
Lance Armstrong.
But though the Wilkes-Barre
Triathlon certainly is an attrac-
tionfor triathletes local andoth-
erwise, its not just the compet-
itive side of the contest that
keeps both entrants and orga-
nizers coming back year after
year, always looking forward to
the next one.
No matter what, I can find
volunteers who will pitch in or
local business (people) who will
lendsupport andits great to see
that, said race director Joanne
Gensel. That means the people
around here are supporting the
event, which is fantastic be-
cause were basically a commit-
tee of volunteers and every year
theres no shortage of people
who want to come out and help
all weekend long, which is very
exhilarating to see come togeth-

This much,
DeSean Jack-
son did manage
to reveal: that
he is not Ter-
rell Owens, that
he isnt in-
terested in
being a distraction, that he
wants a new contract but that
he also very much wants it to
be from the Philadelphia Ea-
gles.
I always wanted to be an
Eagle, he said, which will be
the headline but which also
was a pretty accurate measure
of the undertone.
With Jackson, it really does
appear to be just business, not
insurrection. And now we get
to find out if he means it.
Because Monday afternoon,
the entourage arrived, a Was-
sup? was uttered, a physical
examination was passed, bread
was broken, a walkthrough was
walked through, and then Jack-
son approached the micro-
phones.
All hail.
In a little less than eight
minutes of talking, Jackson did
very little answering. For the
last 11 days, he has been absent
from Eagles training camp
because he wants a new con-
tract. That much we know.
But he wouldnt say what he
was trying to accomplish. He
wouldnt say if he accom-
plished anything. And he
wouldnt say if negotiations on
a new contract have begun
between the club and his agent,
Drew Rosenhaus, who made a
dignified spectacle of himself
by attempting to attend the
teams afternoon walkthrough
only to be shunted over to the
grandstands by security person-
nel. It seems that agents are
never permitted at practice
and especially this agent, if you
know what I mean.
So, here was the picture. A
dozen cameras were lined up to
record the return of Jackson to
the practice field. Club presi-
dent Joe Banner, who almost
certainly would be the one to
negotiate a new Jackson deal,
was not at Lehigh. Rosenhaus
was in a kind of holding pen
next to the stands, talking on
the phone and signing auto-
graphs for fan-type people who
had not received the memo
concerning just how awful an
NFL walkthrough is as an en-
tertainment vehicle.
And Jackson was standing
around, chatting with his
coaches and his teammates and
then doing a press conference
where he could identify neither
the cause nor the benefit of an
11-day holdout that only ended
because to prolong it would
threaten Jacksons future free-
agency rights under the terms
of the collective bargaining
agreement.
I think my game speaks for
everything, he said. The only
thing I control is playing be-
tween the white lines. I cant
control contracts. I cant con-
trol anything else.
And thanks for coming.
If you want to look at the
whole thing as a colossal waste
of time, you will not be dis-
couraged here. Still, if you take
a half-step back, the argument
can be made that this was a
win-win. Jackson got a chance
to flex his muscles a little and
display his unhappiness with
his contract, a skill set that
every budding star needs to
master if he is to be taken
seriously in the clubs of Holly-
wood and South Beach. He
also managed to avoid the
majority of training-camp prac-
tices at Lehigh, which means
he managed to avoid a signif-
icant amount of the meaning-
less injury risk this summer.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. Steve
Williams says he meant no harm.
AdamScott calls it no big deal.
Now, they agree, its time to
let our clubs do the talking.
Scott is coming off a four-
stroke win against an elite field at
the World Golf Championship,
which makes him one of the fa-
vorites in the
PGA Cham-
pionship, the fi-
nal major of the
year.
But the very
first question
the Aussie was
asked Tuesday
at Atlanta Ath-
letic Club and several more
that followed were about his
caddie.
Specifically, did Williams steal
the attention that should have
gone to Scott by lashing out at
former boss Tiger Woods as soon
as they came off the18th green at
Firestone?
I think it all got a little out of
hand, Scott said, but well just
go on from there.
Williams told The Associated
Press he was caught off guard
whenthe media came up to inter-
view him after Scotts win.
Its very unusual for TVto put
a microphone in front of a cad-
dies face, he said when reached
on his cell phone. There was a
lot of emotion and anger that
came out. It wasnt meant to of-
fend anyone.
On Sunday, Williams gave an
interview that was nearly twice
as long as Scotts, calling it the
best win Ive ever had quite a
pronouncement, given he was on
the bag for 13 of Woods major ti-
tles before getting fired this sum-
mer.
The caddie also made it clear
he felt Woods hadtreatedhimun-
fairly, saying he stuck by his for-
mer boss eventhroughall his per-
sonal turmoil and health issues.
Woods missed the last three
months including two majors
recovering from a leg injury.
He returned at Firestone, where
he finished 18 shots behind the
winner.
That only added to Williams
glee.
Look, weve had a chat about
the whole thing, said Scott,
whose laid-back personality is a
striking contrast to Williams
emotional demeanor. I just took
what he said as confidence in me.
If he really feels that was one of
his great wins, Im kind of flat-
tered and it fills me with confi-
dence. I think thats what his in-
tention is, to be honest.
Some players have criticized
Williams for the way he handled
the interview, saying he should
have kept the attention on Scott

Three days after being hospi-
talized following a collision
with one of his players, Joe Pa-
terno will be right back out on
the practice field.
Penn States 84-year-old
coach was re-
leased from
Mount Nittany
Medical Cen-
ter late Tues-
day morning
and has been
cleared by
doctors to re-
turn to work some 72 hours
after suffering injuries to his
right shoulder and hip.
Paterno is expected to be
back at practice today in what
would be a quick turnaround.
In the past, doctors and Penn
State staff have had him use a
golf cart at practice to keep
him off of his feet as a precau-
tion.
With an early return, Paterno
is hoping to shift the attention
off of his health and back to-
ward his team, which returns
more than 20 players who start-
ed multiple games last season.
Its time for everyone to
turn the attention to the team,
Paterno said in a statement.
We have a lot of hard work
ahead in order to be as good as
we think we can be.
The Nittany Lions started
two-a-days this week as Paterno
conducted his Monday morn-
ing meeting with his coaches
via speakerphone from the hos-
pital. The season opens Sept. 3
against Indiana State at Beaver
Stadium.
Paternos latest injuries came
at practice on Sunday when he
was hit from the blind side by
5-foot-7 receiver Devon Smith
at Penn States Holuba Hall in-
door practice facility. Paterno
had been standing in between
fields observing the defense
when Smith, running a route
on offense behind him, collided
with the coach.

had suffered a hairline fracture
of his pelvis. After tests, doc-

Editor's Note: The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees and Gwinnett Braves played a double-
header Tuesday night at PNCField. At press time,
the second game was in the third inning with the
the Braves leading 1-0.
MOOSIC Wild is an appro-

days doubleheader at PNC
Field between Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre and Gwinnett.
Before the twinbill was slated
to start, the game was delayed
prior to the first pitch for 2
hours, 2 minutes because of an
impending rain storm.
So the tarp was on the field
with the sun shining early in the
evening and the field was cov-
ered for nearly an hour before
any precipitation fell.
When the first game started,
it went extra innings and ended
when the Yankees Dan Brewer

tom of the eighth and advanced

ON THE MARK
By Mark Dudek
For The Times Leader
Mr Chicagoinvades Plains, Pennsylvaniatodayandis readytosend
a statement to the rest of the harness racing world that he is a two-
year trotter to reckon with in the future. The Cantab Hall colt made
his first lifetime start last Thursday at the Meadowlands and it was
indeed a successful one. He was handled with care throughout the
mile and still jogged to an easy score in1:57.4. I see nothing but huge
things for this Tony Alagna trained trotter moving forward and to-
night hes ready to speak and take down the very talented Stormin
Normand in that $74,279 Pennsylvania Sire Stakes, second division.

M A J O R L E A G U E B A S E B A L L
NEW YORK Bobby Abreu
hit his second homer of the
game, a two-out, two-run shot
off Mariano Rivera in the ninth
inning, and the Los Angeles
Angels beat the New York
Yankees 6-4 Tuesday night.
The Angels, the only Amer-
ican League team with a win-
ning record against the Yan-
kees over the last decade, sad-
dled New York with its first
three-game losing streak since
early June.
Abreus drive deep into the
right-field seats was only the
second homer allowed this
season by Rivera (1-2). The
Yankees closer faltered for the
second straight appearance
he blew a ninth-inning lead
Sunday night in Boston.
Jordan Walden worked the
ninth for his 26th save in 33
chances. Scott Downs (6-2) got
Russell Martin to ground out
with two runners on to end the
eighth.
Rays 4, Royals 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
James Shields threw a six-
hitter for his major league-best
eighth complete games this
season, Evan Longoria home-
red and had four RBIs, and the
Tampa Bay Rays beat the Kan-
sas City Royals 4-0 on Tuesday
night.
Shields (11-9) also has four
shutouts this year. The right-
hander is 6-2 in nine career
starts against Kansas City.
Longoria drove in two runs
on a single during the first and
hit a two-run homer in the
sixth. He has driven in 12 runs
over his last 12 games despite
having just nine hits during the
stretch.
Jeff Francis (4-12) gave up
four runs and five hits over
seven innings for the Royals.
The left-hander retired 15 in a
row after allowing the first
three batters to reach base in
the first.
The game lasted 1 hour, 53
minutes the fastest nine-
inning game in Tampa Bay
history.
Athletics 4, Blue Jays 1
TORONTO Josh Willing-
ham and Kurt Suzuki homered,
Rich Harden pitched seven
strong innings for his first
career win over Toronto, and
the Oakland Athletics beat the
Blue Jays .
Harden (3-2) came in 0-3
with a 5.74 ERA in eight starts
against the Blue Jays, including
0-2 with a 13.50 ERA in three
starts north of the border. But
he was in command for much
of this one, allowing just five
hits over seven innings. He
walked two and struck out
eight to win his second straight
decision.
Grant Balfour worked the
eighth and Andrew Bailey
pitched around a leadoff walk
in the ninth to earn his 14th
save.
White Sox 4, Orioles 3
BALTIMORE Brent Mo-
rel homered and drove in two
runs, Carlos Quentin also con-
nected, and the Chicago White
Sox beat the Baltimore Orioles
for their season-high fifth
straight victory.
Chicago built a 4-0 lead after
four innings, let the margin
dwindle to a run in the fifth,
then held on to secure its sev-
enth successive road win.
Gavin Floyd (10-10) gave up
three runs in 6 2-3 innings for
the White Sox. The Maryland
native is 3-0 with a 2.28 ERA
lifetime in Baltimore. Coming
off a horrid performance
against the Yankees in which
he surrendered 10 runs in 2 1-3
innings, Floyd improved to 4-1
in his last five starts. Sergio
Santos struck out Robert Andi-
no for the final out to earn his
24th save.

Abreu homers
off Rivera in 9th
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Rookie re-
liever Josh Spence walked
light-hitting Ruben Tejada to
force home the tiebreaking run
and the New York Mets rallied
late for the second consecutive
game against San Diegos usu-
ally dependable bullpen, beat-
ing the Padres 5-4 on Tuesday
night.
Angel Pagan homered to
start New Yorks comeback and
Jason Isringhausen earned his
299th save. The Mets, who
trailed by four runs in the
eighth inning Monday and by
two in the eighth on Tuesday,
won both games to move back
above .500 (58-57).
Orlando Hudson, starting in
the cleanup spot for the first
time in his 10-year career, hit
an RBI double for the Padres
before leaving with a strained
right groin. He is day to day.
Wade LeBlanc returned from
a brief trip to the minors and
pitched six solid innings for
San Diego. He was in line for
his first major league victory in
almost a year before the deplet-
ed Mets fought back again.
Pagan, the teams new lead-
off man because of an injury to
Jose Reyes, homered for the
second consecutive night when
he connected off Chad Qualls
(5-6) to start the eighth.
That cut New Yorks deficit
to 4-3. Justin Turner and David
Wright followed with singles,
chasing Qualls, and Lucas
Duda advanced the runners
with a sacrifice bunt.
Rockies 3, Reds 2
CINCINNATI Troy Tulo-
witzki hit a two-run homer,
Esmil Rogers pitched just well
enough for six innings and the
Colorado Rockies sent the
Cincinnati Reds to their fifth
loss in six games with a 3-2 win
on Tuesday night.
Dexter Fowler had two of
Colorados five hits and drove
in the go-ahead run for the
Rockies, who have won three
out of their last four games.
Lack of clutch hitting contin-
ued to plague the Reds, who
were 0 for 10 with runners in
scoring position and left Don-
trelle Willis still looking for his
first win in six starts since
being called up from Triple-A
on July 10.
Willis (0-2) lowered his ERA
from 3.41 to 3.16 and finished
with a season-high 10 strike-
outs.
Rogers (6-1) allowed eight
hits and two runs with six
strikeouts and two walks.
Nationals 3, Cubs 1
CHICAGO Chien-Ming
Wang allowed one hit over six
scoreless innings, Jonny
Gomes hit a two-run homer
and the Washington Nationals
beat the Chicago Cubs.
In his third start and first
on the road after missing
more than two years following
shoulder surgery, Wang (1-2)
won for the first time since
June 28, 2009, against the New
York Mets as a member of the
Yankees.
Michael Morse added a long
home run and Ryan Zimmer-
man extended his hitting
streak to 17 games for the
Nationals, who have won three
of four.
The Cubs have lost two
games after winning a season-
high seven straight.
Cubs starter Matt Garza
(5-9) allowed three runs and
six hits in six innings. He had
nine strikeouts and two walks

one shy of Hank Aarons record.
MINNEAPOLIS Jim
Thomes pursuit of 600 career
home runs has been a rather
quiet quest.
Fighting injuries during a
frustrating season for the Min-
nesota Twins, the 40-year-old
Thome hasnt received nearly
the amount of national publici-
tythat his predecessors whore-
ached the milestone did. Even
Derek Jeters accomplishment
of 3,000 hits dwarfed the atten-
tion that Thome has been get-
ting, naturally, since Jeter
plays for the New York Yan-
kees.
But Thome is close to join-
ing an exclusive club. With 598
home runs over his powerful
20-year career, Thome is onthe
verge of becoming only the
eighth player in professional
baseball history to hit 600. And
there are all kinds of people
around the game who couldnt
be happier for him.
This guy deserves every-
thing he gets, said Philadel-
phia Phillies manager Charlie
Manuel, who first managed
Thome in the minor leagues
and then again with the Cleve-
land Indians. When you say,
Nice guy, yeah, Thomes a
nice guy. But at the same time,
hes also been a great hitter. I
think theyre going to look at
him as someone whos just to-
tally genuine and played the
game in his own way and
that was good for baseball.
Theyll look at him for who he
is as a person and the things
that he accomplished. I mean,
600home runs is a tremendous
feat.
Mark McGwire, now the hit-
tingcoachfor theSt. Louis Car-
dinals, hada one-wordreaction
awesome when asked
for his take on Thome.
Hes a stud. Hes just a coun-
try hard, country strong, coun-
try hard-hitting player,
McGwire said.
Barry Bonds. Hank Aaron.
Babe Ruth. Willie Mays. Ken
Griffey Jr. Alex Rodriguez.
Sammy Sosa. Thome is next
on the all-time list, and unlike
several of the other higher-pro-
file sluggers of his era, hes seen
as clean. No admission or sus-
picion of steroid use for him.
The 6-foot-3, 250-pound native
of Peoria, Ill., is just a down-
home guy with a bundle of nat-
ural athletic ability, froma fam-
ily with a father and brothers
who are just as big.
Ive been blessed, said
Thome, speaking in his clear,
drawn-out, careful voice and
giving one of those aw-shucks
shoulder shrugs he often does.
Hes been asked about his
sterling reputation over the
years more times than he can
remember, realizingthe skepti-
cismtowardhome runtotals of
his time is a perception the
public will probably never for-
get.
I think theres still some
sour feelings around, just in
general. Lets face it. There
were guys who did that. But
my thing was not every guy did
it. You cant punish everybo-
dy, Thome said, adding: You
makedecisions inyour life, and
I guess you have to live with
those decisions. But, again, not
every guy did it, and thats the
unfortunate thing: Certain
guys are paying that price for
that time.

As for the Eagles, they didnt
appear to give in during the
holdout and begin negotiating
the new contract that everyone
knows Jackson deserves
which they likely would have
had a hard time doing anyway,
what with all of the transac-
tions they committed last
week. They also kept the rheto-
ric to an absolute minimum,
inflaming no one. And whether
or not they want to admit it,
Jackson is a player who does
not need much camp and who
does not need that previously
mentioned meaningless injury
risk.
Win-win, then. Just dont ask
for a logical explanation of the
whys and hows and wherefores.
Hes excited to be back,
which is good, Eagles quarter-
back Michael Vick said. Hes
ready ready to come back
and help this football team win
games.
With the right mindset?
Absolutely, Vick said.
Weve been talking. Hes (had)
the right mindset for two
weeks. DeSean just needs to
try to think and get himself
together. Ill tell you what, its
going to be a breakout season
for him again. Hes going to be
a phenomenal player in this
league, as hes always been.
Asked if he was worried
about Jackson being unhappy,
Vick said, Not at all.
It remains the question that
only time can answer, of
course. But so far, on a scale of
zero to T.O, DeSean Jackson
has barely nudged the needle.

from eight in the morning until
one in the afternoon. Saturday
morning we meet at the lake
early in the morning to set that
up, the start area, the finish area
and the bike racks. Then on Sun-
day morning between 9 and 10
a.m. they take all of that down
and are back at the campus in
time for the rest of the race, ex-
plained Gensel. By three oclock
youdthink we werent eventhere
that afternoon. It takes me all
year to plan for and then its over
so quickly. But come Sunday
night, we all hang out and have
some fun and have a great time
with everyone involved.
It was not hard to find Gensels
sentiment echoed by volunteers
both accustomed to helping out
over the years and those no pun
intended just getting their feet
wet.
Whatever the race committee
needs from someone, we all just
jump into it, said Tom Wilkie, a
former race director and now
self-proclaimed jack of all
trades who lends a hand in any
way he can. Its a good, tight-knit
group that just backs each other
up the whole time. Its one of if
not the biggest reason why I
come back every year.
Its also one of the biggest rea-
sons both Terry August and
Christa Knorr are coming back
for their second year.
I volunteered last year and
there were some people that
were looking for new people to
get involved, said Knorr. I had
never been out to one before and
seeing these people go after it
was like nothing I had ever seen
before.
I went to one of the very first
meetings and realized awfully
quick that the people who volun-
teer are an absolutely wonderful
group of people to volunteer. The
peoplethemselves arejust agreat
group, they all volunteer, get to-
gether, work together and try to
make it the best year after year.
I would probably say the most
enjoyable part is seeing how
much effort people put into this
and how nobody expects any-
thing in return.
August expressed the same ap-
preciation.
The first year, my sister got
me involved, shes on the com-
mittee, explained August, of
Forty-Fort. August, who works
with the Community Service
Committee for the Greater
Wilkes-Barre Association of Real-
tors, was able to attract some of
her coworkers into coming out
for the day, doubtlessly with her
own impressions from her first
year of volunteering at the 2010
Triathlon.
It was a monsoon last year but
we had a good time, August said
with a laugh. Its a very good
group of people, a tight commu-
nity and the athletes are just
great. Its an awesome sight to
see all those swimmers heading
into the lake that early in the
morning. I have the utmost re-
spect for all of the athletes.
When asked what exactly it is
about the Triathlon that would
bring her back for years to come,
August didnt hesitate.
It really was the whole event,
said August. It was very well
run, we just had a really good
time and the people were just
great. Its a weekend long event
and for it to be around for 30
years now really says some-
thing.
The race itself typically runs
from 7:30 a.m. until roughly 1 in
the afternoon, give or take a few
minutes depending on the num-
ber of entrants, making it quite
the time-consuming event for all
those involved no matter the
numbers. This years event in-
cludes a 40-member committee,
members of Noxen, Kunkle, Dal-
las, Lehman, and Jackson Town-
ships Fire, Police andAmbulance
squads and, by Gensels estimate,
a thousand volunteers to set up
the course, maintainit duringthe
day and take it down once the
days event is complete.
While this years triathlon will
certainly be the mix of competi-
tors from all around and a well-
meaning community helping to
run it all as smoothly as they can,
it will also feature a charitable
recognition of 30 years well
spent. At the endof the race, after
the awards ceremony, the racing
committee will be presenting the
United Way with a donation of
$3,030.
We appreciate the opportuni-
ty to be involved and celebrate
this great milestone with the
Wilkes-Barre Triathlon, celebrat-
ing its 30th year anniversary,
said John Winslow, a representa-
tive from the United Way who
worked with the triathlon com-
mittee. The sporting communi-
ty is a very generous group and
their donation will definitely
help the United Way meet the
most critical of needs in our com-
munity.
The reasons behind such a do-
nation were simple, according to
Gensel.
When we got together and sat
down and the committee looked
back at the very first triathlon,
put together by guys like Rich
Connor and (the late) Rusty
Flack, who decided that if they
had any proceeds it would go to
the American cancer society,
said Gensel. So this year we de-
cided that for the 30th year we
would do something to give back
to the community. Its really a do-
nation from everybody associat-
ed with the triathlon.

after he pulled away for an im-
pressive four-stroke win.
I understand where players
are coming from, but Im a little
upset by what some of them said
because they have no idea what
Ive been through, Williams told
the AP. But I didnt mean to
cause anyone harm. There was
just a lot of emotion.
Scott believes most of the dra-
ma is being driven by the media.
He certainly stood by Williams,
insistingthere was nointentional
attempt to upstage the way the
Aussie played at Firestone.
He was asked these questions
and he gave his honest answer, I
assume, Scott said. Anything
related to Tiger Woods, its all
scrutinized and blown out of pro-
portion a lot of times.
While Woods has 14 major ti-
tles, Scott is still seeking his first.
Hes definitelygot thegamefor it,
especially since addressing his
shaky putting stroke by switch-
ing to one of those strange-look-
ing long clubs in February.
And, the brouhaha at Firestone
notwithstanding, the pairing
with Williams seems like a per-
fect match. Scott has often come
across as a little too casual when
he stands over the ball. Theres
nothing casual about his caddie,
one of the games most fiery char-
acters.
Im a bulldog when Im in the
hunt, Scott said. But some-
times, I have a problemgetting in
the hunt.
Williams has been blunt with
his newboss, telling himthat hes
yet to live up to his massive po-
tential despite 20 victories
around the world.
I do have a fire in my belly,
Scott said. But maybe hes going
to help me keep it burning all the
time. Right now, hes certainly
bringing all of these things and
keeping me motivated. Were
working well together.
That odd putter is also work-
ing out well for Scott.
His stroke was in shambles
early in the year, which was af-
fecting his whole game. Basical-
ly, he made the switch as a last re-
sort, ignoring fellow golfers who
snickered at him when he first
broke it out on the putting green
and critics who think the club
should be banned.
Since going to the long putter
which extends to just below
his chin when he bends over to
take a swing Scott has become
a steady contender. He tied for
second at the Masters. He was
third at the AT&T National.
Then came the win at Akron, his
biggest triumph since the 2004
Players Championship.
I think a few people have tak-
en notice of the way Im rolling
the ball, Scott said. Its a notice-
able improvement from where I
was.
A steady putter has helped
Scott address another of his
weaknesses. One of the games
best ball strikers, he had always
struggled a bit with the subtlety
of those little pitches and chips
around the green.
These days, Scott is confident
he canmake any putt from20feet
and in, so he doesnt feel like he
has to be quite so precise with his
wedges. That, in turn, has actual-
ly made it easier to hit good
shots.
EvenbeforeWilliams tookover
the bag, Scott already had shown
in April he was capable of con-
tending on the final round of a
major. He surged into contention
at the Masters, only to get turned
away by Charl Schwartzels as-
tonishing four-birdie finish.
I didnt win the Masters,
Scott said. But I felt like I did ev-
erything I had to do. To be hon-
est, I never considering birdieing
the last four holes at Augusta Na-
tional. I never even considered
birdieing the last two.
Theres still plenty of time to
capture his first major. He turned
31 last month and should be
heading into his prime. With Wil-
liams pushinghimon, Scott final-
ly seems to realize that his career
would be incomplete if he fails to
win one of the biggest prizes.

eventually scoring on a bounc-
ing slider from Braves reliever
Jaye Chapman (1-2) to give the
Yankees a 4-3 win in the first
game. Adding more craziness
to the last half of the eighth in-
ning was that catcher Jesus
Montero was intentionally
walked and wasnt being held
on by Braves first baseman
Brandon Hicks, but was picked
off onasnapthrowfromcatcher
Wilkin Castillo.
If that wasnt wild enough,
the secondgame didnt start un-
til 10:36 p.m.
Yankees right-hander Adam
Warren got the start and re-
mained winless for the ninth
straight start despite producing
his third quality start in that pe-
riod and second straight. He
lastedsixinnings onlygivingup
four hits and three runs. He
walked two and struck out a
pair. KevinWhelan(2-2) earned
the win pitching two scoreless
innings.
After the Braves opened a 1-0
lead against Warren in the top
of the first on a run-scoring dou-
ble-play, the Yankees took a 2-1
lead on an opposite-field, two-
run shot by Montero. His 12th
of the year off Braves starter Yo-
han Flande was a no-doubter
over the right field wall.
The Braves came back to
even the score at 2-2 on a bold
move when manager Dave
Brundage called for a safety
squeeze in the top of the sec-
ond.
With Diory Hernandez on
third and Jeff Fiorentino on
first, Castillo bunted to Warren,
who had to field the ball on the
first base line, which allowed
Hernandez to score.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre re-
gained an advantage at 3-2 in
the third after Doug Bernier led
off with a triple and scored on a
groundout by Kevin Russo.
Brewer, who was 2-for-4, also
helped defensively when he
made a leaping catch, crashing
into the wall in the gap in right-
center on a drive by Diory Her-
nandez with Brandon Hicks on
second.
But the Braves tied the score
when the next batter, Jeff Fio-
rentino singled to score Hicks.
Notes: Right-hander Eric
Wordekemper was activated off
the disabled list prior to Tues-
days doubleheader. He tookthe
roster spot vacated when lefty
J.C. Romero was granted his re-

LEHMAN TWP. Wilkes-
Barre Triathlon organizers are
amplifying safety precautions af-
ter two participants suffered life-
ending heart attacks in Sundays
New York City Triathlon.
Both Michael Kudryk, 64, of
Freehold, N.J., andAmyMartich,
40, of Elmhurt, Ill., died during
the swimming leg in the Hudson
River, according to The New
YorkTimes, promptingconcerns
throughout the sports safety
hazards.
As usual, a brigade of water
safety personnel and emergency
services will be on hand to en-
sure participants health in the
Harveys Lake swim course.
Approximately 75 lifeguards,
15 watercraft vehicles, two pon-
toon boats and a fleet of kayaks
will be stationed on the lake, ac-
cording to Wilkes-Barre Triath-
lon race director Joanne Gensel.
Scuba diving teams will also be
on hand for the race, and race di-
rectors will monitor missing cy-
clers at the bicycle pickup sta-
tion.
Local medical and physical
training professionals urge par-
ticipants to practice all three
events rigorously before Sun-
days 1.5- swimming, 40- cycling,
11-kilometer running Wilkes-
Barre Triathlon course.
Competitors should know
what kind of race theyre getting
themselves into, said Melissa
Knabel, head athletic trainer at
Marywood University in Dun-
more.
Manypeople whorace inthese
types of events, Dr. John Hodg-
son, chairman of cardiology at
Geisinger Health Systems, said,
areweekendathletes whotrain
sparingly and compete more as a
social activity.
Theymaynot beinthebest of
shape nor have they gotten med-
ical clearance, he said.
With the majority of triathlon
deaths stemming from cardio-
vascular abnormalities, accord-
ing to a Journal of the American
Medical Association study,
Hodgson said that participants
should undertake a proper med-
ical examination before strenu-
ous activities like triathlons.
Any one who is competing in
this type of strenuous event
should clearly have a good phys-
ical exam, stated Hodgson.
He recommends participants
alsoundergotwotypes of cardiac
tests before the race. A simple
electrocardiography (EKG) ex-
am will ensure no preexisting
abnormalities might expose
them to an irregular heartbeat.
Those over 40 years old should
take a coronarycalciumscore to
see if theres any calcium com-
posites in the arteries that sup-
ply to the heart muscle.
Knabel recommends that com-
petitors trainat a distance longer
than what the triathlon de-
mands.
They should prepare them-
selves torun, swimor cycle more
thanwhat thecompetitionis ask-
ing for, she said. So when they
finally compete in the race,
theyre not over-reaching them-
selves.
The swimming portion is gen-
erally the most dangerous, caus-
ing most cardiac issues. Hodg-
son postulated that many people
train in pools, rather than in
open water, causing them to
swim in conditions they are not
prepared for.
The water is much colder
than a pool, said Hodgson.
Theres people kicking and
clawing around you to get by
you.
Rather than a mass com-
mencement, Gensel said, start
times for the swimming portion
the first leg of the triathlon
will stagger at a three-minute ra-
tio so there are never more than
100 in the race.
We dont go for the big num-
bers like other races; we go for
the safety. We feel this course
could only hold so many ath-
letes.
The Wilkes-Barre Triathlon
takes extra precautions, said the
race director. The triathlon has
postponed the swimming por-
tion in the past because of in-
clement weather, and wetsuit
regulations may be imposed on
swimmers if the water becomes
too warm according to USA
Triathlon standards.
As of Tuesday, two participa-
nts will compete in the 70-plus
agebracket. The60-and-over cat-
egory features 16 participants.
Despite all the precautions,
Gensel and Hodgson agree that
the swimming event demands
extra precautions and swimmers
should be mindful of their sur-
roundings.
All the preparation is not go-
ing to prevent people from get-
ting tired and drowning, swal-
lowing water, or being pushed
down by someone else, said
Hodgson. I hope people would
be mindful of the people near
them.

DURHAM, N.C. Alingering
injury will prevent one of Dukes
promising freshmen from taking
part in the Blue Devils exhibi-
tion games halfway around the
globe.
Guard Quinn Cook is being
shut down until at least mid-Sep-
tember to allow his knee injury
to continue healing, coach Mike
Krzyzewski said Tuesday.
While Krzyzewski definitely
expects Cook to be back by the
time preseason practice starts in
October, the coach said he no-
ticed during workouts before the
teams upcoming trip to China
and Dubai that Cook didnt have
enough strength in the knee.
Cook played his senior year in
high school with injured liga-
ments in his right knee.
Team officials say Cook will
make the trip overseas, but wont
play. Krzyzewski says his goal is
for Cook to resume individual
workouts in September.
His body mechanics have got
to be better otherwise, you re-
ally risk more injury, Krzyzew-
ski said.
Cook, one of three McDonalds
All-Americans in Dukes fresh-
man class, certainly could have
used the playing time during the
four-game, two-week excursion
to figure out how to play in a
crowded backcourt that includes
returning contributors Seth Cur-
ry and Andre Dawkins and her-
alded freshman Austin Rivers.
Quinns a good player, Krzy-
zewski said. It was just going in
the wrong direction for future in-
jury if we didnt just shut him
down for a little while.
The Blue Devils leave Sunday
and will play three games in Chi-
na and one in Dubai as part of the
team-building tour that came
about because Krzyzewski had a
rare summer with few responsib-
ilities to the U.S. national team,
which had already qualified for
the 2012 Olympics by winning
the world championships last
year in Turkey.
For us, I think itll make us a
better basketball team, Krzy-
zewski said. If were a better
basketball team, that helps ev-
erybody at our school and makes
everybody a little bit more hap-
py. I do think, school-wise, it
puts Dukes name in China. ... I
dont knowwhat itll mean finan-
cially or anything like that, but I
think its very, very good.
Krzyzewski also declined to
comment specifically on recent
questions about the timing of a
telephone conversation with a
recruit because its still not re-
solved.
According to published re-
ports, forward Alex Poythress
said he was offered a scholarship
while he was in Orlando, Fla., to
play in tournaments with his
AAU team. Duke then issued a
statement saying its compliance
department exercises due dili-
gence in determining the rele-
vant facts when it is made aware
of any rules matters.
C O L L E G E B A S K E T B A L L
Blue Devils are heading to China without their Cook
Lingering injury will shut
down talented Duke until at
least mid-September.

AKRON, Ohio LeBron
James sat in a gym inside a com-
munity center he and his friends
were afraid to visit as kids, re-
flectingonhis past andlookingto
the future.
With his hands folded tightly,
James listened as a boy sang His
Eye Is On The Sparrow, the
childs beautiful voice filling a
place James has transformed
with a generous gift.
I remember coming through
the front doors here, James said
afterward in a sit-down interview
with The Associated Press. It
was an intimidating place, real
dark.
James has brought it newlight.
On Tuesday, the NBA super-
star cut the ribbon to officially
open The LeBron James Club-
house at an Akron Boys & Girls
Club, a safe haven for area chil-
dren that he paid to renovate
with $240,000 donated through
his family foundation. Back
home in Ohio and surrounded by
family and friends, the Miami
Heat forward felt humbled while
giving back to his community.
Its unbelievable, he said. As
a kid, this is one of the places we
didnt want to go. But to see the
transformation from what this
place used to be to what it is now
is amazing, and the only reason
were doing it is for these kids.
They are our future.
James pointed toward several
rows of youngsters, who hung on
his every word.
One of them, 11-year-old Jaire
Bell, opened the ceremony with
his gospel song, a touching per-
formance that moved James,
who later promised to keep help-
ing Akrons youth.
There should never be a door
closed to their dreams, said
James, who onMonday launched
a programto provide hundreds of
thirdgraders academic tools they
need. The program will follow
those kids through their high
school graduations.
We have presidents in here,
doctors, lawyers, possibly profes-
sional athletes, he said. All the
dreams they have, there should
be a way for them to accomplish
it.

PHILADELPHIA After the
disappointment froma Gold Cup
final loss that led to a coaching
shakeup, JurgenKlinsmannis set
to lead a new era of U.S. Soccer.
Hes getting a crash course on
his new team, coaching his first
game Wednesday night against
Mexico less than two weeks after
he was hired to jolt a program
plagued by a series of lackluster
results.
Welcome aboard, Coach.
Now get out there and win.
Jumping into a game like this
right away is not aneasy task, but
its anexcitingone, he saidTues-
day.
Klinsmann, one of the greatest
players Germany has ever pro-
duced, was put in charge of mak-
ing the U.S. competitive again in
the World Cup. After reaching
the round of 16 at last years
World Cup, the Americans took a
step backward this year. They
were routed by Spain in early
June, upset by Panama in Gold
Cup group play and then blew a
two-goal lead against Mexico in
the Gold Cup final, costing Bob
Bradley his job.
The early real early re-
turns are promising.
Klinsmann says hes encour-
agedbythe positive attitudes and
talent after only a few days of
camp. He jumped into training
camp with an open mind about
who could become impact play-
ers, and where the pipeline needs
more prospects.
Klinsmann sounded like an
NFL draft guru in his desire for
theAmericans toget younger, get
deeper.
Some of the best US players
Landon Donovan, captain Carlos
Bocanegra, defender Steve Che-
rundolo, Clint Dempsey are
aging, and the U.S. didnt have
the best track record of develop-
ing promising young talent un-
der Bradley. At least, not enough
of it. Klinsmann wants to find the
next Donovan; the new genera-
tion of goalies.
If Mexico is the focus this
week, the 2014 World Cup in Bra-
zil never seemedtoo far out of his
thoughts.
I need to make sure the right
people are in place, he said.
The Gold Cup loss to Mexico
was a sign that the U.S. teams
progress had stalled under Bra-
dley. The U.S. almost hiredKlins-
manntwice first after the 2006
World Cup and again last year be-
fore giving Bradley what turned
out to be a short-lived contract
extension.
Bradleys son Michael, a mid-
fielder, called his fired father a
strong guy who handled the
news like a pro.
Its part of the game, Michael
Bradley said. Nobody would
have expected he was going to be
here 20 years. You know that go-
ing in. My dad, more than any-
body, realized that. He was al-
ways committed to work as hard
as he could and doing whatever
he could to help the national
team while he was here.
Now its Klinsmanns turn.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. After only five
practices, Kevin Kolb will lead the Arizo-
na Cardinals into their preseason opener
Thursday night at Oakland.
Kolb says he hopes coach Ken Whi-
senhunt gives him as much playing time
as possible as he works to learn a new
system and develop chemistry with his
teammates.
Obviously Kens been around a lot
longer than I have and he makes those
calls, Kolb said before Tuesdays final
pre-game practice, but as much time as
hell give us, thats how much time we
need because theres a lot of work to be
done.
Whisenhunt said he probably will stay
with his new quarterback a bit longer
than he would under normal circum-
stances in a preseason opener.
I just would just like to see him con-
tinue to be comfortable with calling and
operating the offense, the coach said.
Ive seen some good strides as far as
handling it in the huddle but this is a
whole new deal, now, going out on the
field, working the communicator, get-
ting in and out of the huddle, get the
plays lined up. Im sure theres going to
be some confusion out there, not neces-
sarily his but other people on the team.
You just never know.
Forget game planning for the Raiders.
With such a limited time to prepare,
Kolb will do well to just oversee the
basic offense.
I guess the biggest thing that I want
to see is just how he handles every-
thing, Whisenhunt said. Im not too
concerned about statistically what he
does or a lot of those things. You want
to see him do good things, but I think
really you obviously want to see how he
handles the situation. It will give us a
better feel of what we can do, what we
can put in, how we can adjust things
going forward. Thats what this is all
about.
After practice, star wide receiver
Larry Fitzgerald said he and others need
to help Kolbs fast-track learning proc-
ess.
We have to go out there and instill
the confidence in Kevin that were going
to be what we need to be for him, Fitz-
gerald said. We need to make his job
easier. Its not all about him coming in
here and making all those throws. We
need to make plays for him. Thats going
to make him want to go out there and
do better and give him more confidence
to get us the football. Thats our job is to
go out there and make it as easy as pos-
sible.
Kolb, obtained in a trade with the
Philadelphia Eagles, could not practice
until last Thursday after he signed a
five-year, $63 million contract with $21
million guaranteed. He said hes a per-
fectionist and its been frustrating when
he struggles sometimes with the termi-
nology of the Cardinals offense.
It is hard because I put a lot of pres-
sure on myself and I want to be perfect
from the word go, he said. It frustrates
me beyond belief whenever I have a
tough time spitting out a play. If I stutter
through a long worded play, that frus-
trates me because thats not my style.
But I also understand Im going into day
five here so I have to calm myself down.
But I still want to chase that perfection
every day.
Kolb is coming off a mixed perform-
ance in the Cardinals red and white
scrimmage, when he made some big
plays, but threw three interceptions.
Asked what he learned from that day,
he said, Dont force things.
We did some great things and that
happens to me sometimes, he said,
You know, I get caught up in trying to
make too many plays.
Kolb said the important thing is not to
repeat mistakes.
I know Im going to make some mis-
takes. I just want to learn from them,
he said. Just like the scrimmage on
Saturday, just like the practice yesterday.
All those are sticking in my head and Ill
remember them and hopefully I wont
make those mistakes again. Obviously
we dont want to make a bunch of them.
I dont know how much playing time
were going to get but every down, every
snap, Ill make sure Im learning from
that experience and putting them in my
memory bank for later on.
The Cardinals had Sunday off, but
while some of his teammates chose to
return to Phoenix, Kolb stayed at camp.
I said I needed to hang out here and
make sure I was catching up on the fast
paced first couple of days there, he said.
I feel good, though, even the next prac-
tice yesterday, just spitting it out felt a
lot better. And every days a little bit
better.
Jets
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Plaxico
Burress has been held out of team drills
in practice by the New York Jets, who
say theyll continue to play it safe with
the wide receiver as he recovers from an
ankle injury.
It doesnt appear to be a setback for
Burress, who tweaked his left ankle
while running routes last Wednesday.
Because of heavy rains and lightning in
the area Tuesday, the Jets moved in-
doors for practice on their synthetic turf
field. It was uncertain if the surface also
was a factor in the lightened workload.
Burress had his most work in practice
Monday, when he was in on a handful of
11-on-11 plays.
First-round pick Muhammad Wilker-
son sat out team drills as a precaution
with a hip injury.
Patriots
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Chad
Ochocinco has found a new NFL home.
Hes still looking for a place to stay.
The veteran wide receiver Tuesday
said he still has a lot of work to do, but
is starting to feel comfortable with his
new teammates in the New England
Patriots offense.
He gave fellow receivers Wes Welker
and Deion Branch and quarterback Tom
Brady credit for his progress.
Panthers
SPARTANBURG, S.C. Carolina
Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith
injured his finger during Tuesdays pad-
ded practice, but coach Ron Rivera con-
firmed its not broken and isnt anything
that will keep him out of any regular
season games.
Smith, a four-time Pro Bowl selection,
sustained a cut near the base of his left
middle finger that required stitches, but
x-rays revealed no broken bones. Smith
injured the finger while attempting to
catch a pass in Tuesday mornings prac-
tice.
There was no dislocation, Rivera
said. The ball went right in between
(his fingers).
Smith, the teams No. 1 receiver, left
Tuesdays practice early on a golf cart to
have his finger checked out by the med-
ical staff. He did not participate in the
night practice. Hes expected to miss
about a week or so. Smith was spotted
in the teams dining room a few hours
after the injury with the middle finger
on his left hand heavily wrapped.
Smith is the teams all-time leader in
touchdowns and figures to play a pivotal
role in Carolinas offense this season.
Dolphins
MIAMI The NFL will be a bit quie-
ter this season: Channing Crowder says
hes retiring.
Crowder, one of the leagues most
notorious trash-talkers, said Tuesday he
has decided to call it a career less than
two weeks after being cut by the Miami
Dolphins. The veteran linebacker made
the announcement on WQAM radio,
where he has been a talk-show host.
I know I can still play football, said
Crowder, 27. But I decided to hang it
up. Now Im not worried about icing my
knees anymore or getting stingers or
concussions. I did it long enough. I
played football since I was 9 years old.
That included six NFL seasons, all in
Miami, where Crowder developed a
reputation as a jester and motormouth.
For that reason, he conceded, his an-
nouncement might be met with skepti-
cism.
Im not making a comeback, he said.
If somebody tells me I dont have to go
through training camp and I can come in
Week 1 and play but I dont see it.
After being released by the Dolphins,
Crowder said, he tried out with the New
England Patriots
Bengals
GEORGETOWN, Ky. Rookie quar-
terback Andy Dalton will start the Cin-
cinnati Bengals preseason opener on
Friday night in Detroit.
Coach Marvin Lewis said on Tuesday
that his starters will play a little longer
than normal for a preseason opener as
they try to make up for lost time from
the NFL lockout.
The Bengals took Dalton in the sec-
ond round after Carson Palmer told the
team he wouldnt be back. Theyve been
getting Dalton ready to start since the
beginning of training camp, giving him
by far the most plays in practice of their
four quarterbacks. Lewis says Dalton
has shown exceptional poise so far.
Ravens
OWINGS MILLS, Md. Ricky Wil-
liams didnt really look like the Ricky
Williams the football world has come to
know.
There were no dreadlocks, no beard in
his Baltimore debut. And not only did a
Ravens jersey appear strange on him,
but it was also without his customary
34. Williams showed up Tuesday for his
Baltimore practice clean-shaven with a
tight haircut and wearing a No. 38 pur-
ple jersey,
After agreeing a two-year deal with
the Ravens on Monday, Williams passed
his physical Tuesday and practiced with
his new teammates. It might be the lone
session in which he wears No. 38, be-
cause he struck a deal with running
back Jalen Parmele to get back the num-
ber hes worn throughout his entire
career.
Maybe it was appropriate that Wil-
liams wore an unfamiliar number, be-
cause the running back who joined the
Ravens to be the backup to Ray Rice, is
quite different than the star who broke
into the NFL with the New Orleans
Saints in 1999.
The Heisman Trophy winners career
has featured failed drug tests, suspen-
sions and a heralded, premature retire-
ment. Hes also accounted for 9,565
yards rushing, caught 329 passes for
2,523 yards and scored 72 touchdowns.
But he never played in the Super Bowl,
and thats one reason why Williams
picked the Ravens over the Detroit Li-
ons.
The opportunity in Detroit opened
up, and it would have been a chance for
me to play a lot and be able to contrib-
ute a lot, Williams said. But Baltimore
is an established organization with a lot
of vets, and ... I thought I would fit in
well in this situation and be able to
enjoy myself and possibly win a Super
Bowl.
Now 34, Williams is no longer the free
spirit who wore dreads and made no
secret of his love for marijuana. Thus,
the new, conservative look.

NFL adds game-day tests
for performance enhancers
NEW YORK The NFL is adding
game-day testing for
performance-enhancing substances
but not recreational drugs this season
under the new collective bargaining
agreement.
The leagues senior VP of law and
labor policy, Adolpho Birch, says
Tuesday tests werent conducted in the
past on days there were games
because of logistical issues involved,
much more so than any philosophical
issues.
Birch says the league has developed a
way to test that is not overly disruptive
to the clubs and that respects the
game-day process.
Birch would not say where talks
between the NFL and the players union
stand or even if theyve started
about details that need to be worked
out before the league can introduce
random, year-round blood testing for
human growth hormone.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Jim
Tressel made $21.7 million as
OhioStatefootball coachover his
decade-long tenure before being
ousted for breaking NCAA rules,
records from the publicly funded
school show.
Tressel earned more than $3.5
million in 2010, the year he cov-
ered up an improper benefits
scandal that has led to Ohio State
being forced to appear before the
NCAAs committeeoninfractions
this Friday.
The figures, released Tuesday
to The Associated Press by Ohio
State, showthat almost a quarter
of Tressels pay $4.6 million
came from an exclusive deal un-
der which Ohio State directed a
portion of its exclusive deal with
apparel-maker Nike to the coach.
During his career with the
Buckeyes, Tressel was provided
football game tickets valued at
$104,800, more than $10,000 in
Ohio State basketball tickets and
over $21,000 in bowl tickets. His
contracts alsocalledfor himtore-
ceive a $200,000 signingbonus in
2003, national-championship
game bonuses worth a total of
$835,000 (the Buckeyes played
for the BCS title after the 2002,
2006 and 2007 regular seasons)
and another $155,000 in bonuses
for OSU players hitting certain
academic standards.
In Tressels second season,
Ohio State wonthe 2002 national
championship its first in 34
years.
Presidents of NCAA institu-
tions are meeting this week in In-
dianapolis to discuss a number of
issues, possibly including expen-
sive coaching contracts.
Tressels lawyer, Gene Marsh,
did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.
BycomparisontoTressels$3.5
million salary last year, Ohio
State President E. Gordon Gee
earneda raise inhis base salaryto
$818,167 and received a $300,000
bonus.
Tressels contracts with Ohio
State, like those of many of the
top collegiate football coaches,
were full of perks.
He was reimbursed almost
$10,000 in 2008-09 for his mem-
bership and expenses at an exclu-
sive local country club. Leased
cars for the coachandhis wife, El-
len, were valued at $23,000 for
2010-11. They also benefitedfrom
personal use of jets and charter
flights amounting to just under
$60,000 since 2005. In addition,
the university paid for hundreds
of dollars incell-phone plans over
his career.
Tressel was forced to resign on
May 30 for failing to tell his boss-
es at Ohio State that he had
learned players were trading
memorabilia for cashandtattoos,
breaking NCAA rules. Tressel
was required under his contract
and NCAA bylaws to alert his su-
periors to any rules violations by
his athletes.
As a result, the Buckeyes have
self-imposed penalties which in-
clude vacating last seasons 12-1
recordplustheteamsshareof the
Big Ten title and going on two
years of NCAA probation. The
committee on infractions can ac-
cept those sanctions or can add
otherpenaltiessuchasbowl bans,
fines and recruiting limitations.
Six players were suspended for
the first five games of the upcom-
ing season, although three-year
starting quarterback Terrelle
Pryor gave up his final year of eli-
gibility for the chance to play in
the NFL. Another player, line-
backer Dorian Bell, is no longer
with the team.
Former assistant coach Luke
Fickell, selected to take Tressels
placeas interimheadcoach, is be-
ing paid around $700,000
roughly $3 million less than Tres-
sel made a year ago. He said on
Tuesday that the money is not
why he took the job.
Im not focused on that one
bit, he said. Ive never known
what Ive made since I probably
started.

Cisco earnings
The networking equipment
maker is in the midst of a
restructuring, and investors will
want to know how its going
and whether it will help lift
Ciscos stock. Three weeks
ago, the company said it
would cut 6,500 jobs, or about
9 percent of its work force
because growth has slowed.
Investors also want to see the
companys revenue forecast.
Government budget cuts could
mean less business for Cisco.
A report on job openings
The job market has looked a bit
better lately. The government
said last week that 117,000 new
jobs were added in July and
that the unemployment rate fell
to 9.1 percent. And it said job
growth in June wasnt as weak
as originally thought. Another
number for June comes today:
job openings that employers
advertised during June. The
data will be a bit old at this point
but may help investors get a
better sense of the job market.
Macys gives a read
on consumers
Macys is expected to report that
its earnings rose in the second
quarter, but what it says about the
future will be more important to
investors. The quarter included
the last part of July, when Con-
gress was haggling over budget
cuts and stocks were starting their
plunge. Investors want to know if
Macys is seeing shoppers
becoming more cautious, and if it
expects them to cut back their
spending the rest of this year.

Worker productivity falls
U.S. workers were less productive in
the spring for the second quarter in a
row, a trend that may not bode well for
future hiring.
Productivity dropped 0.3 percent in
the April-June quarter, following a
decline of 0.6 percent in the first three
months of the year, the Labor Depart-
ment said Tuesday. It was the first
back-to-back decline in productivity
since the second half of 2008.
The drop in productivity helped push
unit labor costs up 2.2 percent. That
follows a 4.8 percent rise in the first
three months of this year, the biggest
increase since the last three months of
2008.
When workers are less productive
and cost more, companies are less
likely to add jobs.
Truck fuel standards set
Big trucks will have to burn less fuel
under new standards announced Tues-
day by President Barack Obama. The
standards will apply to the 2014 to 2018
model years.
Big rigs or semis will have to slash
fuel consumption and the production
of heat-trapping gases by up to 23 per-
cent.
Gas-powered heavy-duty pickups and
vans would have to cut consumption by
10 percent, or by 15 percent if they run
on diesel.
Delivery trucks and other work vehi-
cles would be required to trim fuel
consumption and greenhouse gas emis-
sions by up to 9 percent.
The White House says the changes
will save businesses billions of dollars
in fuel, help reduce oil consumption
and cut pollution.
Gold price continues surge
Gold prices pushed to new heights
Tuesday as investors digested the pos-
sible consequences of the lowered U.S.
credit rating and Europes debt crisis
on a slowing global economy.
Gold futures rose $29.80, or 1.7 per-
cent, to $1,743 per ounce after setting a
record price of $1,782.50 earlier in the
day.
The metals price has more than
doubled since the recession began in
late 2007, and its climb accelerated this
summer.
Gold is more than a currency sub-
stitute, its also a material used in in-
dustrial products and by consumers.
With every fresh high the metal
notches, the more consumers will have
to pay for engagement rings, gold
crowns for their teeth and perhaps
even electronics.
Blues buy into Medicaid
Philadelphia-based Independence
Blue Cross and Detroit-based Blue
Cross Blue Shield of Michigan are
purchasing AmeriHealth Mercy, which
has Medicaid managed-care contracts
in various states, including Pennsylva-
nia, Indiana, and South Carolina.
Independence Blue Cross already
owns 50 percent of Philadelphia-based
Amerihealth. Buying the other half of
AmeriHealth will cost $170 million,
and the insurers boards have autho-
rized more than $200 million in addi-
tional capital investment.
Cash-strapped states are increasingly
turning to managed-care programs as a
way to control costs in medical care for
the poor and disabled.

ALBANY, N.Y. New York Comp-
troller Thomas DiNapoli proposed
Tuesday establishinga fundsupported
by fees from drillers to clean up envi-
ronmental damage from natural gas
drilling using high-volume hydraulic
fracturing.
The program, which would require
legislation and also apply to current
drillingoperations, wouldbesimilar to
the existing state fund for oil spills fi-
nanced by an 8-cent-per-barrel fee on
the first transfer of petroleumto a ma-
jor petroleum facility in the state, as
well as recoveries and penalties from
those responsible.
DiNapoli hasnt specified amounts
for the gas-drilling fund and fees, deci-
sions that would be left to the Depart-
ment of Environmental Conservation.
His proposed bill also would require
anyone engaging in natural gas pro-
duction in NewYork to post a bond to
cover potential contami-
nation liability.
The only current
remedy for private citi-
zens who suffer damag-
es to their property from
natural gas productionis
to enter into litigation, which has the
potential to be costly, difficult and
slow, DiNapoli said. Preventing acci-
dents and contamination should al-
ways be our first priority. But its im-
possible to eliminate all risk. If an acci-
dent does occur, the state needs to be
ready with a rapid response and a re-
liable mechanism to hold polluters re-
sponsible.
The DEClast monthproposedregu-
lations to permit hydraulic fracturing,
or fracking, in most of the states po-
tentially lucrative Marcellus Shale for-
mation across the states Southern
Tier, but prohibited in the New York
CityandSyracusewatersheds, onstate
land and within primary aquifers.
Brad Gill, executive director of the
Independent Oil &Gas Association of
New York, said the proposal seemed
premature and doesnt take into ac-
count existing permit requirements
that address bonding for site reclama-
tion or existing law that holds busi-
nesses accountable. He said the indus-
try has a goodenvironmental recordin
New York.
There is simply no basis for such a
fund at this time, he said.
Several environmental groups said
DiNapolis proposal recognizes the
risks of dirty drilling, including those
inherent in every phase of hydrofrack-
ing, from trucking dangerous fluid to
drill sites, to transporting resulting
wastewater throughour communities,
and New Yorks bedrock principle
that polluters paytocleanuptheir own
messes.
Last year, the spill fund received
$39.6 million and disbursed $34.3 mil-
lion.

SANFRANCISCO-- Apple Inc., a company
that was on the brink of bankruptcy before
founder Steve Jobs returned as chief execu-
tive officer in 1997, briefly surpassed Exxon
Mobil on Tuesday to become the most valua-
ble business in the world, before the stock
price slipped slightly.
Apples ascension caps a 14-year transfor-
mation froma personal-computer also-ran in-
to a seller of everything fromsmartphones to
digital music. Apple already had eclipsed Mi-
crosoft, IBM and Intel, whose dominance of
the technology industry in the 1990s helped
nudge Apple to the fringes of the PC market.
Apple may as much as double computer
sales over the next few years, while the
iPhone business may triple, Wu said. If suc-
cessful, Apples new iCloud music and infor-
mation-storage service may help the compa-
ny add millions of new users.
Jobs, who co-founded Apple at the age of
21, was ousted by the board in1985. When he
returned to the company12 years later, it had
run up $1.86 billion in losses over two years.
Apple was 90 days away from bankruptcy,
Jobs would later say.
He engineeredthe companys comeback by
honing Apples industrial design, tightly inte-
grating software with hardware, and pushing
into newmarkets, such as phones, music and
tablets.
Tuesdays closingstockpriceof $374.01per
share gives Apple a market capitalization of
about $347 billion, comparedto Exxons $348
billion. Apples shares are upfromanadjusted
$5.48 on Sept. 16, 1997, the day Jobs returned
to the company.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. The Luzerne
County Convention Center Authority Board
approved several insurance contracts for the
upcoming year, gave the go-ahead to seek
contracts on repairs to parking lot lighting,
and said goodbye to six-year board member
August Piazza at Tuesdays monthly meet-
ing.
Piazza said after the meeting he had noti-
fied the board he will not seek re-appoint-
ment whenhis termexpires at the endof this
month. I had a wonderful time, he said, I
thought I was only going to serve for a little
while and before I knew it, it was six years.
Arena Manager Rebecca Bonnevier told
the board that insurance consultant Aldrich
andCox hadrecommendedthe bulk of insur-
ance be purchased through Eastern Insur-
ance Group, which offered to cover property,
auto, general andumbrella insurance for a to-
tal $105,815. Bonnevier said this was $5,613
less than this years premium.
The consultants had also recommended
purchasing Public Official liability insurance
from Joyce Insurance at $6,729. Bonnevier
said Aldrich and Cox had recommended
bumping the maximum liability insurance
from $2 million to $3 million, which added
$747 to the total cost. The board unanimous-
ly approved both recommendations.
Bonnevier also discussed the need for re-
pairs to a damaged junction box and some
wiring for lights in the parking lot. Bonne-
vier said she believes the cost will come in
below $7,500, and asked the board to give
Chairman Patrick Connors authority to au-
thorize repairs when the cost is finalized so
the work can be done before the next board
meeting, set for Sept 14.
The board also authorized Connors to OK
unrelated work needed on concrete around
one light standard when the cost is finalized.
The board approved a $925 payment to Al-
drich and Cox for the insurance consulting
work, and $18,550 to Snyder and Clemente,
the firm conducting an annual audit. Bonne-
vier saida draft of the audit is being reviewed
by arena staff and it will be released after the
review is done.

NEW YORK The
Fed spoke and finan-
cial markets rallied.
The Dow Jones indus-
trial average surged more
than 429 points Tuesday,
its10thhighest point gain
in history and the biggest
since March 2009. It was
just onedayafter theDow
had its worst point de-
cline since 2008.
The Federal Reserve
pledged to keep its key in-
terest rate at its record
low of nearly zero
through the middle of
2013. The central bank al-
so said that it has dis-
cussed the range of pol-
icy tools it can use to
spur the economy.
The central banks
statement means that an-
other of round fiscal stim-
ulus could be on the way
as the Fed works to keep
those rates low, said
Brian Jacobsen, chief
portfolio strategist for
Wells Fargo Funds Man-
agement.
In June, the central
bank finished its second
round of bond buying, al-
so known as quantitative
easing, in hopes of boost-
ing the economy. Bob
Doll, chief equity strate-
gist at BlackRock said the
Feds decision to hold in-
terest rates at a very low
rate for two years is un-
precedented and called
it a kind of backdoor
quantitative easing.
Markets are going to
do what they would have
done if the Fed went out
and bought securities,
Doll said. This will push
investors ... back into eq-
uities.
At first, markets reac-
ted much differently after
the Feds 2:15 p.m. EDT
statement. Stocks fell and
gold surged to more than
$1,774 per ounce. The
yield on the 10-year Trea-
sury note briefly touched
a record low of 2.03 per-
cent.
As stocks rallied, the
yield on the 10-year Trea-
sury note quickly headed
higher. It was at 2.26 per-
cent late Tuesday. A
bonds yield drops when
its price rises.
Howard Silverblatt, se-
nior indexanalyst at S&P,
called it the Big Ben
turnaround.
The industries that did
best on Tuesday were the
ones that fell the most on
Monday. Financial stocks
in the S&P 500 rose 8.2
percent after falling 10
percent Monday.
Materials companies,
which rely on a stronger
global economy for their
profits, rose 5.9 percent.
Only seven of the 500
stocks in the index had
declines. All 30 stocks in
the Dow rose. Bank of
America Corp., which
was down more than 20
percent Monday, rose
16.7 percent, the most of
any stock in the Dow.
Aluminum maker Al-
coa Inc. was up 8 percent.

Chip Cutter, Francesca Levy, Kristen Girard AP
The 13 percent drop in the S&P 500 since July 21 is luring bargain hunters to stocks. Market strategists have
recommendations about what to buy, like large, stable companies that pay a dividend near or above the average
2.5 percent for S&P 500 companies. But be cautious. There's no reason not to continue, at least in the short term,
a slight wait-and-see attitude, says Harvey Neiman, president of Neiman Funds.
Time to buy?
LOOK FOR DEFENSIVES LIKE MICROSOFT.
Tech stocks seem risky, but Merrill says Microsoft is
almost as stable as stocks that are called defen-
sive. Those are companies like utilities that do well
in a recession. Microsoft's revenue has risen for
nearly two years. "It's hard to see anything but per-
sistent revenue and profit increases ahead," Merrill
says. Microsoft trades at about 9 times what its ex-
pected to earn in the next year. Thats down from the
forward price-to-earnings ratio of nearly 10 it had Ju-
ly 21. The S&P 500s P/E is nearly 13.
DEVELOPATASTE FOR LUXURY.
If the economy slows, consumer spending could take
a hit. But luxury companies should hold up, since
theyre seeing big growth in China and other emerg-
ing markets. Thats why Bateman bought Ralph Lau-
ren Tuesday. The maker of Polo-branded clothing
has a dividend yield of 0.7 percent. Its trading at 18
times what its expected to earn next year. On July
21, its forward price-to-earnings ratio was 21.
GO FOR THE COMEBACK KID.
Smith says one of the best buying opportunities is
Ford, though the company isnt paying a dividend.
The car maker has spent three years restructuring
its business. Smith says annual earnings could
more than double to $4 a share over the next few
years. Plus, its cheap. Ford has a forward P/E of
about 5 and analysts expect the stock to rise 81
percent over the next year.
PREPARE FOR AN OIL REBOUND.
The price of oil has been falling since April. That
has sent stocks of energy companies in the
S&P 500 down nearly 15 percent in the last
month. But most analysts expect oil prices to
slowly rise. Neiman likes Chevron. Its forward
P/E ratio is 7 percent, down from around 8 per-
cent on July 21. It has a dividend yield of 3.4
percent. "How could you not put conservative
money into one of the leaders of the industry?"
says Neiman.

The banks stock recovered some-
what after its huge drop on Monday
amid a broad market sell-off.
The Internet company posted a
loss, and its revenue fell. There was
a June slowdown in display adver-
tising and search revenue.
The concert promoter reported a
quarterly profit after it refined its
pricing strategy and concert atten-
dance rose in North America.
Stocks rose Tuesday after the Federal Reserve

spur the economy. The Fed also said growth has
been slower than expected. The Dow rose 429

A cold front will
be making its
way through the
area today. Keep
an umbrella
handy as you
can expect to
see a shower or
thunderstorm as
the front passes.
We should see
some sunshine
today, however, a
good part of the
day will feature
cloudy skies,
especially as the
front moves
through. The
weather is look-
ing much better
Thursday, with
plenty of sun-
shine with com-
fortable after-
noon tempera-
tures in the 70s.
High pressure
will be in control
of our weather
Thursday
through
Saturday morn-
ing. Another cold
front will pass
over the region
Saturday night
and Sunday, pro-
ducing more
showers and
thunderstorms.
- Kurt Aaron
NATIONAL FORECAST: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will extend from the central High Plains
to portions of the Southeast along a frontal boundary. A few strong to severe thunderstorms will be
possible with this system. Showers will linger over portions of the Northeast as low pressure moves
away to the northeast.

WHEN I THINK of
summer, I think of
enjoying garden-
grown, fresh water-
melon. There are
more than 1,200 varie-
ties of watermelons
ranging in size from
less than a pound to more than 200
pounds with flesh that is red, orange,
yellow or white. The most common
watermelon is called the Charleston
Gray.
This is a great recipe that can be
used for a lunch or a light dinner with
seasonal fresh ingredients. It yields two
servings.

after the day of waiting is up. On
the day hes to serve the barbe-
cue, Hosier wakes up in the early
hours of the morning to throw
the meat in the smoker. Its
smoked anywhere from 12 to 16
hours at a temperature between
200 and 225 degrees.
I use a mixture of hickory and
charcoal to smoke it, Hosier
said. Ive tried several kinds and
combinations of wood, but I find
hickory provides the perfect bal-
ance for the meat.
As far as the pork is concerned,
the ability to pull the meat apart
from the bone after its done is a
sign it was cooked well. Another
sure sign that youre barbecuing
correctly is a smoke ring.
The pink that you see doesnt
mean the meat is raw, Hosier
said, referring to a different-hued
section of pork. The smoke ring
is a result of the smoke infusing
the meat and a chemical reaction
taking place.
Its the chemical reaction be-
tween nitrogen dioxide and the
amino acids in the meat that pro-
duces a pink color. Agood smoke
ring is about a quarter of an inch
thick. It lies underneath the sur-
face crust, or bark.
To me, the bark is where all
the flavor lies, soI trytoget a nice
bark on all the meats, Hosier
said.
Though he likes to barbecue
anything, Hosier said, brisket, a
tough cut of beef, is his specialty.
The history of brisket is that it
was given to the slaves after the
cows were slaughtered, because
it was considereda toughpiece of
meat that no one really wanted,
Hosier said, but they learned to
cook it slowso everything breaks
down, making it easier to eat.
Hosier is particular about the
brisket preparation.
I like about a half-inchof fat on
top of it. Any more than that, and
I think its too much; it gets too
soggy.
The brisket must still be han-
dled with care after its smoked.
The key to cutting it is that
you have to cut it against the
grain because if not, it just falls
apart.
For added flavor, Hosier serves
the meat with his homemade
sauce on the side. He makes a
Carolina vinegar sauce and a
Memphis red sauce, which he
said is all about tomatoes.
When it comes to the meat it-
self, though, its all about good
flavor and good relationships.
My neighbors love me, he
said. It smells really good
around my house.

Barry Hosier serves up a sample platter during barbecue
nights at Gobers Deco Lounge in Exeter. From left, Carolina
pulled pork, Memphis-style ribs and Texas barbecue bris-
ket. He also serves Carolina vinegar sauce and Memphis
red sauce on the side.
Barry Hosier pulls apart slow roasted
pork for pulled-pork sandwiches, a
crowd favorite during barbecue
nights at Gobers Deco Lounge in
Exeter.
Barry Hosiers ribs are done Mem-
phis-style, meaning they are smoked
dry, coated only with a dry rub for
flavor.
For anyone thats starting out, barbecue
is pretty general. There are just different
regions that do barbecue different ways;
its about the rubs that are used.

Owner of Barbeque By Barry
Weve opted for a slightly
unusual combination of sausage
and sweet potato.
Classic sliced tomatoes and
mozzarella (with fresh basil
thrown on after it comes off the
grill) or sauteed peppers, onions
and zucchini topped with pep-
per jack cheese also would be
great summery options.
GRILLED SWEET POTATO
AND SAUSAGE PIZZA
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Makes 8 large slices
1 medium sweet potato
2 sweet or spicy Italian chicken
sausage, each cut diagonally
into 8 slices
20-ounce ball of pizza dough
2 tablespoons olive oil
16-ounce ball fresh mozzarella,
sliced
Salt and ground black pepper, to
taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Bring a medium saucepan of
water to a boil. Peel the sweet
potato and slice it into 1/8-inch
slices. Drop the slices into the
boiling water and boil until just
tender, but not falling apart, about
5 to 7 minutes. Drain the sweet
potatoes, then set aside.
Heat the grill to medium-high.
Grill the sausage slices until
charred and cooked through, about
3 minutes per side. Remove from
the grill and set aside.
Clean the grill grates and brush
with oil. Stretch the pizza dough
into a rough circle, about 14 inches
in diameter. Lower the grill to
medium heat, then set the dough
on the grate. Close the lid and grill
for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the
bottom is toasted and golden.
Brush the top of the pizza crust
with half of the olive oil and flip
over. Brush again with the remain-
ing oil. Top with the sweet potato
slices, the cooked sausage pieces
and the mozzarella slices. Close the
grill and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or
until the cheese is melted and the
bottom of the crust is golden and
crispy. Remove from the grill and
sprinkle with salt, pepper and
thyme.

Big beef burgers are peren-
nial favorites during grilling
season.
Of course, aficionados are
always eager to debate what
makes the best burger.
Is it the beef? Recently, I
came across recipes that called
for a mix of beef cuts such as
beef brisket, skirt steak, hangar
steak and sirloin steak. One
recipe suggests cutting the
meat in 1-inch cubes and grind-
ing it yourself.
Is it the ratio of fat? Most
grilling books and experts say
a burger needs some fat to
keep it moist. The general rule
calls for 80/20, meaning 80
percent lean and 20 percent fat
a typical ratio for ground
chuck. But that doesnt mean
you cant use ground round,
which is 83/17.
Is it the grilling technique? If
you press down on the burgers,
the grilling gurus will frown on
you. When you press down,
youre pressing out the juices.
Just put the burgers on the
grill, and give them a good sear
over high heat on both sides,
about 3 minutes for a 3/4-inch-
thick burger. Once seared on
both sides, slide the burger to
medium heat and finish grill-
ing to desired doneness.
So, now that you have some
tips to making a good burger,
you might try your hand at
creating a burger worthy of a
$100,000 prize.
The granddaddy of burger
contests is the Build a Better
Burger contest sponsored
mainly by Sutter Home Winery
in Napa Valley, Calif. This year,
the contest cook-off, now in its
21st year, takes place in Chica-
go.
Entries are accepted through
Aug. 31. The grand prize for
the beef burger is $100,000,
plus the trip to Chicago to
compete.

PORCINI MUSHROOM
BURGERS
Serves: 4 (generously)
Preparation time: 20 minutes /
Total time: 35 minutes
1/2 cup dried porcini mushrooms
or favorite wild mushrooms
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (or
mix of favorite ground meats)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground
black pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
4 thick onion slices
Kosher salt and black pepper to
taste
Favorite sliced cheese, optional
4 hamburger buns or favorite
rolls
Lettuce or shredded lettuce
Remove the meat from the
refrigerator; set aside.
Place the dried porcini mush-
rooms in a bowl, and pour hot
water over them to rehydrate. Let
stand about 20 minutes. Once
they are rehydrated, drain and
squeeze out the excess water and
roughly chop.
Preheat the grill to medium-
high.
In a mixing bowl, gently com-
bine the mushrooms, ground
chuck, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper and
garlic. You can use other favorite
seasonings. Shape the mixture
into desired-size patties of equal
size and thickness; make them at
least 1-inch thick. Make an in-
dentation in the center of the
patty about 1/2-inch deep, which
will help the burger keep its shape
and not create a dome.
Oil the grill grates. Place the
onion slices on a platter and
brush oil on each side. Sprinkle
with kosher salt and pepper to
taste. Place the patties on the
grill, and put the onion slices
alongside. Grill the patties about
4 minutes per side, depending on
desired degree of doneness. Flip
them once; they should easily
release from the grill. Cook on the
other side about 4 minutes more.
Flip the onion slices when you flip
the burgers; they should have
some nice grill marks and be
slightly soft. At this time, you can
put the buns on the grill to lightly
grill. Just before the burgers are
done, add a slice of cheese if you
like and close the lid so the
cheese melts. Let the burger rest
several minutes before serving.
Place the burger on the grilled
buns; top with grilled onions,
lettuce and condiments of choice.
