Luzerne County school dis-
tricts will receive a combined
$11.8 million in gambling reve-
nue to reduce property taxes on
primary residences this year, a
new state estimate shows.
The overall allocation to coun-
ty districts has remained about
the same since the gambling-
funded breaks started with 2008-
09 school tax bills.
The owners of 84,340 primary
residences eligible for the home-
stead/farmstead break will pay
$52 to $212 less for school taxes,
depending on the district, the
state says. Elimination of more
than 3,500 ineligible households
bythecountyandschool districts
boosts the individual credit
slightly.
The estimates stem from the
states legal requirement to an-
nually publicize how much gam-
bling money each district will re-
ceive and project howmuch each
home or farm owner will save in
the coming school year.
The estimated tax bill reduc-
tions by district:
Crestwood, $76
Dallas, $52
Greater Nanticoke Area,
$145
Hanover Area, $202
Hazleton Area, $154
Lake-Lehman, $97
Northwest Area, $167
Pittston Area, $106
Wilkes-Barre Area, $212
Wyoming Area, $84
Wyoming Valley West, $146
The reductions will be deduct-
ed from school tax bills issued
this summer.
The state Department of Edu-
cation has a pot of $615.6 million
inslots revenuefrom11operating
casinos todivvy upamongschool
districts this year.
Thats a $3.5 million increase
compared to 2011-12, when
$612.1million was collected from
gambling facilities. The highest
collection was $616.5 million in
2010-11, records show.
The education department us-
es a formula based largely on en-
rollment, personal income and
property market values to deter-
mine allotments for eachdistrict,
said department spokesperson
Tim Eller.
Wilkes-Barre Area will receive
themost -- $2.9millionfollowed
by Hazleton Area, with $2.7 mil-
lion.
The lowest allocation is
$322,084 for Dallas.
School districts divide their al-
locationby the number of proper-
ty owners who signed up for the

Luzerne County Republican
Party Chairman Terry Casey on
Monday called recently elected
party committeeman Steve
Smiths viewpoints despicable.
But the organization must in-
vestigate its op-
tions before
making any de-
cisions regard-
ing whether
Smith can
maintain his
seat.
Smith, 41,
the former di-
rector of the Keystone State Skin-
heads, was elected in April to the
party committee position in the
countys third district. Its a four-
year term representing Pittstons
4th ward.
No candidates had sought the
committee member seat, allow-
ing Smith, of Pittston, to win the
unpaid party post through a
write-in campaign in the primary
election.
Following the first committee
meetingsincetheelection, Smith
on Thursday night said the meet-
ing went fine and the reception
he received there was OK. He
said no one there asked himto re-
sign and nothing bad was said.
SmithsaidonThursdaythat he
intends to serve out his term on
the committee and he has said
that he would fight any efforts to
have him removed. He received
one vote, according to election
results.
The election result didnt at-
tract attention until it was publi-
cized on white supremacist web-
sites when Smith notified sup-
porters of his victory last week by
posting a message to the online
forum White News Now.
We dont want a skinhead,
white supremacist in a position
of power in our party, Casey
said. But those views must be
tempered with the party rules
and regulations.
The knee-jerk reaction should
be that we should throw him
out, Casey said, but the party
has bylaws it must follow. The
minute you start parsing off who
can hold a seat it becomes a slip-
pery slope.

ELLEFONTE Alleged vic-
tims of former Penn State as-
sistant football coach Jerry Sandus-
kywill havetotestifyusingtheir real
names, andtweetsor other electron-
ic communications by reporters will
not be permitted during the trial,
the judge ruled Monday.
Meanwhile, Sanduskys hopes for a last-
minute delay in his trial on charges he sexual-
ly abused10 boys were dashed when the state
Supreme Court issued a one-paragraph order
that denied a sealed motion but did not dis-
close the justices reasoning.
That sets thestagefor thestart of juryselec-
tion this morning at the Centre County Cour-
thouse.
Lawyers for several of the accusers had
asked that their clients be allowed to testify
under pseudonyms, a rarity in criminal cases.
Cleland said they must use their real names,
but that he and lawyers will cooperate when
possible to protect witness privacy and per-
sonal information.
Arguably any victim of any crime would
prefer not to appear in court, not to be sub-
jectedtocross-examination, not tohavehis or
her credibility evaluated by a jury not to
put his name and reputation at stake, the
judge wrote. But we ask citizens to do that
every day in courts across the nation.
Mediaorganizations, includingTheAssoci-
ated Press, typically do not identify people
without their consent who say they were sex-
ually abused.
Sandusky, 68, faces 52 charges he abused
the boys over 15 years, allegations he has re-
peatedly denied. He remains confined to his
home as he awaits trial.

HELPING HANDS FROM OUT OF STATE
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
M
ary Couchman of Modesto, Calif., helps homeowner Tom Reilly of Montgomery Avenue in West Pittston
unwrap wiring inside his flood-damaged home. Couchman is one of 14 parishioners from Trinity United
Presbyterian Church in Modesto who are in the area helping home owners whose houses were damaged by
the September flooding. The volunteers will be here all week, working on homes in West Pittston and Plains
Township. They are part of the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance program that has sent volunteers to several
states to aid in disaster recovery. They bring their own tools, and the organization helps pay for some of the
materials. The volunteers were working putting up drywall and running electrical wiring. Doug Sievers is the
local coordinator for the program. The flooding was spawned by Tropical Storm Lee and affected many com-
munities throughout the Northeast, forcing thousands to evacuate as well.
SWOYERSVILLE-- Police Chief Tom
DiMaria asked council on Monday to

mum of $20 for a pave cut not exceed-
ing 2 feet by 4 feet to $50 for that cut.
The tree lawn fee would be increased
from $5 to $25.
Council Secretary Gene Breznay said
the increase was appropriate and over-
due. Council will hold the final vote on
the amendment in July.
Resident KennyRosa, SlocumStreet,

concerned with events taking place at
Swoyersville Fire Hall because of exces-
sive late-night noise. He said several
events continued until after midnight,
disturbing neighbors.

said he would ensure that future activ-
ities at the hall would be well moni-
tored and would end at a reasonable
hour.
Danny Balast, Poland Street, said he

the property would be coming up for
sheriffs sale before the end of the year
and he anticipated that the problem
would be resolved at that time.
Council also laudedRobKoval, direc-

Provider of the Year Award for his work
in the borough.
Mary Rinehart, of the Commission
on Economic Opportunity, was given

JACKSON TWP. Residents asked su-
pervisors about the Bulford Farms sewer
project and a proposed composting pro-
ject for SCI-Dallas at a meeting Monday.
Resident Mary Dockeray wanted to
know about a townshipwide sewer plan
that was sent to the state Department of
Environmental Protection and why the
Bulford Farms project was only two sen-
tences.
Solicitor Jeffrey Malak said the plan on-
lybrieflymentions theBulfordFarms sew-
er project because it addresses the entire
townships sewage needs.
Dockeray said she and at least one oth-
er neighbor are upset about paying the
$22,875 to complete the project, which
will revamp the sewer system in that sec-
tion of the township.
Thetownshipwill alsoincur costs inthe
project, but Supervisor Al Foxsaidthe ma-
jority of property owners have agreed to
the projects costs.
Malak said some residents are con-
cerned about paying taxes towards the
project when it doesnt affect their proper-
ties at all.
Dockeray said she has yet to see docu-
ments that were sent toDEPjustifyingthe
project, though Malak said he has tried to
provide all the documents Dockeray has
requested.
Residents also asked about a project
proposed by the Dallas Area Municipal
Authority to operate a composting site on
land owned by SCI-Dallas.
Bonnie Dombrowski said she has con-
cerns about noise, traffic and safety of the
area where the operation is planned.
Fox urged residents to attend the soon-
to-bescheduledplanningcommissionand
zoning hearing board meetings on the
matter to voice their opinions.
He said the supervisors also have some
concerns about the project and will con-
sider having Malak attend the hearings to
express the supervisors and residents
opinions.
Malak said he and Chairman John
Wilkes Jr. will renegotiate the Steele Road
agreement with Larksville Borough and
that the borough is up to date on all pay-
ments owed to the township.
Late last year, the township ended its
39-year agreement with the borough after
not having received payment for services
rendered to Steele Road since 2005.
Malak said the situation was resolved
amicably and the two parties are moving
forward.
In another matter, the board approved
the hiring of Harry Vivian as assistant
code enforcement officer at an hourly rate
of $12.75.

TimEvans, Jackson Township super-
visor, talks to Jeffrey Malak, township
solicitor, at Mondays meeting.
The next supervisors meeting will be at 6
p.m. July 9 in the municipal building.
WHATS NEXT
The solicitor for Jackson Township
confirmed Monday that federal agents
recently sought administrative re-
cords from township, but he said he
did not know the nature of the inquiry.
Solicitor Jeffrey Malak said agents
visited the township building some
time around March and obtained re-
cords from 2010 and 2011.
Malak said he did not know which
agency the agents were from or any
other details. He said the township is
cooperating.
We are confident we have done ev-
erything right in Jackson Township
and are waiting for them to contact us
to see what the next step is, Malak
said.
Supervisor John Wilkes Jr. declined
to comment Monday night.

KINGSTON -- Municipal So-
licitor Harry Mattern took
strong exception to comments
by resident R. Clark Stewart
who accused himof subverting
a legal case involving zoning.
I resent strongly being
called a subversive person,
Mattern said.
Stewart is involved in a law-
suit about a zoning issue and
has made accusations against
Mattern and other employees
of the municipality. Stewart
passed out a packet of informa-
tion to council members.
Council President Sandra
Case said Kingston had a zon-
ing board and that he should
present his case to the board.
When Stewart threatened
going to court, Mayor James
Haggerty saidhe wouldhave to
file an appeal first.
Fileanappeal. Exerciseyour
remedies, Haggerty said.
Resident Bill Reznak, who
had spoken at the last council
meeting about a concrete wall
torn down at James S. Keiper
Memorial Park, wanted to ask
additional questions about the
demolition of wall.
Haggerty interrupted his
comments. Were not going to
goover this againandagain. We
set forth at great length the rea-
sons for doing it, the mayor
said.
He said Reznak had accused
the municipality of racism in
statements to the press andina
letter to the editor.
Council President Sandra
Kase intervened and gave Rez-
nak time to ask his questions
but doubted the council could
answer them. We had no indi-
cation that the wall was being
torndown, she saidtoReznak.
That wall coming down
leaves a bad taste in my
mouth, resident FrankHughes
said.
He, like Reznak, believes the
wall was torn down because
large numbers of Hispanics
were using it.
Hughes said of the discus-
sion during last months meet-
ing, We did hear the rationale
shift fromstructural damage to
the direction the park was go-
ing.
Hughes said he believes that
for whatever reason the wall
was taken down, the Hispanic
community considers it was be-
cause of their use of the park.
Kase disagreed.
This was not our intent,
she said. We want to be a wel-
coming community to all eth-
nic groups.

nament was won by four fifth-graders
from Dodson Elementary.
Kistler Elementary competed against
Dodson Elementary in a best-of-seven
match in the finals, and Dodson swept
the series with four consecutive wins,

coach Todd Jones.
A traveling trophy will be moved
from Solomon Elementary, which won
the tournament last year, to Dodson
Elementary until the next tournament.
Jones said students compete to get
on the team that will represent each
fifth-grade class within a school.
Those teams compete against each
other to determine a school team,
which in turn competes with the other
four district elementary schools in the
Internet-based competition.
The winning team consisted of
Courtney Dawson, Skylar Elmy, Joseph
Ammons and Van Anh Bui.

WILKES-BARRE Local au-
thorities view of methampheta-
mine laboratories -- once consid-
ered a rural problem -- has
changed with the recent bust of a
suspected meth lab near a city
hospital and another across from
a school.
Last month, an operation at 80
Church St. near Geisinger South
Wilkes-Barre was shut down, and
on Friday agents closed one at 72
Beekman St. across from Lu-
zerne County Head Start.
Both locations are within
walking distance of Wilkes-Barre
Areas Meyers High School on
Carey Avenue and Kistler Ele-
mentary School on Old River
Road.
Were starting to see more of
it, said John Soprano, regional
director for the state Office of At-
torney General Bureau of Narcot-
ics Investigation about finding
meth labs in neighborhoods. In
prior years, we were finding labs
mostly in the country.
The discovery of the two sus-
pected meth labs follows other
raids in populated neighbor-
hoods on June 23, 2011, when
state drug agents found evidence
that meth was manufactured in-
side a house at 356 Blackman St.
and a garage at 71 Regent St.,
both in Wilkes-Barre.
Soprano said the regional At-
torney Generals Office has inves-
tigated 23 suspected meth labs in
Luzerne County since May 2011.
Over the last several years,
meth labs across the state have
been creeping into more populat-
ed areas, both suburban and ur-
ban, said attorney general
spokesman Nils Hagen-Frederik-
sen.
Labs are not limited to just ru-
ral areas. They are not even limit-
ed to physical structures. We
have seen cases where cooks and
users were actually producing
meth in moving vehicles, on
their way back from shopping for
pills and ingredients. Depending
on the production method, labs
can be found anywhere, he add-
ed.
A conviction for manufactur-
ing or delivering a controlled
substance in a school zone car-
ries a mandatory sentence of two
to four years in prison in Penn-
sylvania.
Luzerne County District Attor-
ney Stefanie Salavantis said the
sentence can go higher, up to five
years in prison with the felony
conviction of illegal drug mak-
ing.
Its terrible when someone
would produce methampheta-
mine across the street from a day
care, placing children at risk,
Salavantis said. Whatever we
can do to try and go after the peo-
ple who produce this isnt going
to be taken lightly by our office.

WILKES-BARRE The farmer
takes a wife was a fitting adage at Kis-
tler Elementary School on Monday as
dairy farmers Paul and Mary Fetter of
Standing Still Dairy Farm visited the
school as part of the American Dairy
Association classroom program.
The Fetters, of Dalton, explained
the day-to-day operation of their
dairy farm, as well as the steps they
take to limit their carbon footprint as
they bring vital dairy products to
market.
A national program titled The
Dairy Farmer Image Campaign
works with schools and students of
all ages across the country to educate
them on dairy farming, sustainable
foods, the environment and school-
sponsored gardens.
The visit was arranged through
Kistlers fourth-grade science coordi-
nator, Mike Corcoran, as part of a
year-long agricultural-themed pro-
gram in which students work on vari-
ous activities from vegetable garden-
ing to horticulture.
This is a great program, designed
to teach students where food actually
comes from, said American Dairy
Council spokesperson Brenda Bel-
tram. We try to promote environ-
mental awareness of our field by hav-
ing local dairy farmers come out and
talk with the students about what
they do.
Beltram said the Dairy Council
works hand-in-hand with local pro-
gram coordinators and in-school nu-
tritionists to teach children the ba-
sics about healthy eating and exer-
cise, as part of a national obesity pre-
vention initiative.
We partner with the NFL in their
Play 60 campaign, said Beltram.
We add the nutritional component
in our companion program which is
called Fuel Up to Play 60.
The NFLs Play 60 program encour-
ages developing children to get up
and play for at least 60 minutes
each day.
The Dairy Council donates manure
compost to schools across the coun-
try as fertilizer for their school gar-
den programs. As part of the present-
ation, the students manned a bucket
brigade to fill troughs and flower pots
with the donated fertilizer.

PLAINS TWP. -- The eight
graduates of the Luzerne Inter-
mediate Unit were all smiles as
they posed in their gowns and
mortarboards before their gradu-
ation Monday at the Wilkes-
Barre Career and Technology
Center.
Six of the eight students at-
tended school at the center. The
other two attended the REAL A-
cademy in Pittston.
We try to prepare them with
life skills to transition into their
adult life. We connect them with
day development programs or a
job, saidKathleenBonning, who
teaches the 18- to 21-year-olds at
the CTC.
She said that for her gradua-
tion day is not all happiness. Its
bittersweet. Ill miss them so
much.
All audience members stoodas
the students took their places on
the stage. In their enthusiasm
andjoy, the temptationtowave at
friends and family was too great
for some of the grads.
GregoryKoons, director of spe-
cial education for the LIU, gave
the commencement speech.
I am very proud of you. All of
youhave strengths that make you
special, he said.
He honoredevery student indi-
vidually. Their teachers had pro-
vided a description of their good
qualities, their interests andtheir
future plans. Then he read from
Dr. Seusss book Oh, the Places
Youll Go.
Graduate Felicia Haskell, 21, of
Wilkes-Barre, was described dur-
ing the ceremony as a friendly,
loving girl.
Haskell said that the best thing
about school was my friends and
my teachers.
After graduation she is going
to enjoy babysitting her niece.
She wants to go back to school to
study auto mechanics.
Connie Ward, of Wilkes-Barre,
Felicias aunt, said Felicia loves
her niece and she loves her six
cats.
Joseph Joey Surdel, 21, of
Wilkes-Barre, was named the
most polite young man you will
ever meet during the ceremony.
Surdel said, Im always happy.
When asked what he plans to
do after graduation, he said, Get
a job! Surdel wants to work at a
grocery store.
Before the diplomas were
handed out by representatives of
fiveschool districts involved, LIU
Executive Director Hal Bloss
spoke to the families about their
students.
The greatest joy each of us ex-
perience isnt how we change
them. Its that they have changed
us. He turned to the graduates
and said, You have made a tre-
mendous difference in our lives,
he said.
For Bloss, this was his last LIU
graduationas director. Heis retir-
ing this year after 39 years.
The eight graduates are: Josh-
ua Levan, Crestwood; Matthew
Mitkowski, GNA; Joshua Zyg-
munt, Pittston Area; Eric Parker,
Wilkes-Barre Area; Felicia Has-
kell, Wilkes-Barre Area; Joseph

HARRISBURG State Sen.
Lisa Baker offereda condolence
resolution Monday on the floor
of the state Senate to remember
her longtime friend, mentor and
predecessor, Charles D. Lem-
mond Jr.
Lemmond, 83, a Republican
from Dallas who served in the
Senate from 1986 to 2006, died
Wednesday.
It is always a sad moment
when a distinguished former
member passes, Baker said.
But this one hits closer to
home. From the time of my first
memories, Charlie Lemmond
has beenpart of my life. Over the
years, he was a neighbor, a father
figure, a role model, a mentor, a
catalyst, a counselor, a boss and
finally, my predecessor. Always,
he was a dear and devoted
friend.
Somyreflectiontodaycomes
with deep respect and a healthy
dash of reverence.
Baker said reading the resolu-
tion was extremely emotional
for her, but she managed to get
throughit. Totoast her late men-
tor, Baker gave all of her Senate
colleagues a bottle of Hanks
Root Beer the family recipe of
former state Sen. Hank Salva-
tore. Lemmond always gave vis-
itors to his office a bottle of
Hanks Root Beer, she said.
Please join me in raising your
bottle of Hanks intribute toSen.
Charlie Lemmond, Baker said
at the conclusion of her floor
tribute to Lemmond.
Lemmond spent 21 years in
the state Senate, succeeding the
late Frank OConnell. Baker said
Lemmonds impact was more
personal than political.
He was a man of moderate
views and temperament, not a
partisan warrior craving the
spotlight, she said. He pre-
ferred reasonable practicality
over rigid philosophy.
Baker said Lemmonds ap-
proachtopublic office was a sim-
ple equation -- civic duty and in-
tegrity equal quality leadership.
Lemmond was an Ivy League-
trained lawyer, graduating from
Harvard University and the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania. He
served as a judge on the Luzerne
County Court of Common Pleas
and, Baker said, those titles
meant a lot to him.
Baker said there are many les-
sons learned from Lemmonds
legacy.
Whenever a citizen stands up
at a school board meeting or a
council meeting and says their
piece, we will thank Charlie.
Whenever a child benefits from
early diagnosis and treatment of
hearing impairment, we will be
grateful to Charlie. And whenev-
er someone acts in a distinctly
statesmanlike manner, we will
say just like Charlie, Baker
said.

The former senator is recalled
as a man who rejected
partisanship for service.

NEW YORK
CPA pleads guilty to terror
A
well-traveled certified public ac-
countant from New York pleaded
guilty Monday to federal charges he
used his technical skills to help al-
Qaida.
Sabirhan Hasanoff had been arrested
in 2010 in Dubai and brought to the
United States to face charges of provid-
ing material support to the terror net-
work. He faces up to 15 years in prison.
Prosecutors portrayed Hasanoff as a
new breed of homegrown terrorist: He
lived in Brooklyn with his two children.
An indictment alleged that Hasanaff
and another man charged in the case
met with a third man in 2008 to dis-
cuss how to help al-Qaida. It said the
third man paid Hasanoff $50,000 to
transfer money and do other tasks for
the terror network.
PEARL HARBOR, HAWAII
Midways 70th marked
Current Pacific Fleet commander
Adm. Cecil Haney and other officials
flew1,300 miles northwest from Oahu
to Midway Monday to mark the 70th
anniversary of the pivotal World War II
battle.
Japan had sent four aircraft carriers
to Midway to draw out and destroy
what remained of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
But the U.S. knew about Japans plans.
The U.S. was badly outnumbered
and its pilots less experienced than
Japans. Even so, it sank four Japanese
aircraft carriers the first day of the
three-day battle and put Japan on the
defensive, greatly diminishing its abil-
ity to project air power.
VATICAN CITY
U.S. nuns sex book ripped
The Vatican on Monday sharply
criticized a book on sexuality written
by a prominent American nun, saying
it contradicted church teaching on
issues like masturbation, homosexual-
ity and marriage and that its author
had a defective understanding of
Catholic theology.
The Vaticans orthodoxy office said
the book, Just Love: A Framework for
Christian Sexual Ethics by Sister
Margaret Farley, a member of the Sis-
ters of Mercy religious order and emer-
itus professor of Christian ethics at
Yale Divinity School, posed grave
harm to the faithful.
Farley said Monday she never in-
tended the book to reflect official Ca-
tholic teaching. Rather, she said, she
wrote it to explore sexuality via various
religious traditions, theological re-
sources and human experience.
BERLIN
Arrest made in bizarre case
A 29-year-old Canadian porn actor
accused of videotaping a killing and
mailing the victims body parts to the
countrys top political parties was ap-
prehended Monday in Berlin after an
international manhunt, putting up no
struggle while conceding to arresting
officers: you got me.
Luka Rocco Magnotta is wanted by
Canadian authorities on first-degree
murder and other charges. He is sus-
pected of killing Jun Lin a 33-year-
old Chinese university student he dat-
ed and mailing Lins body parts to
Canadian political parties.
He was picked up in an internet cafe
in Berlin after an employee ran outside
and flagged down a passing police
vehicle, police spokesman Guido Busch
said. The owner of the caf said Mag-
notta had come in to read news reports
about himself when one of his employ-
ees recognized him.

Orie was ordered Monday to serve 2

to 10 years in state prison for using
her taxpayer-funded legislative staff
to do campaign work and forging
defense exhibits to try to cover it up.
Orie, 50, said nothing before being
sentenced by Allegheny County Judge
Jeffrey Manning, who directed her to
report to prison immediately. The
judge must still decide whether Orie
must repay up to $2 million in restitu-
tion, legal fees and other costs.
HARRISBURG Gov. Tom Cor-
bett, who has been criticized for cut-
ting state spending for schools and so-
cial services, is advocating future tax
credits worth $67 million a year for a
petrochemical refinery planned by
Shell Oil Co. in western Pennsylvania
to capitalize on booming natural-gas
drilling in the Marcellus Shale region.
Corbett has not publicly discussed
the proposed tax break, but Senate
President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnatis
top aide Monday confirmed the infor-
mation first reported by the online
news service Capitolwire.
The aide, Drew Crompton, said law-
makers will demand assurances that
the plant will be built in Pennsylvania
and that promises of 10,000 to 20,000
jobs will materialize. The bill is expect-
ed to be introduced in the Senate this
week, he said.
The Corbett administration needs
to sell this and, if they can make a
compelling case that the amount of
jobs proposed is accurate, I think some
people (in the Senate) are going to be
sympathetic to the credit, said
Crompton, who is chief of staff for
Scarnati, R-Jefferson.
The credits would not become avail-
able until 2017, but Corbett is seeking
action now apparently to demonstrate
the states commitment to sharing the
costs of the multibillion-dollar project.
The credits would have an aggregate
value of nearly $1.7 billion over the 25
years that they would remain in place.
Shell already stands to receive 15
years of tax cuts and exemptions under
a bill Corbett signed earlier this year to
designate the cracker-plant site as an
expanded Keystone Opportunity Zone.
It was unclear how the proposed
new tax credits would benefit Shell,
although Crompton said it could sell
all or the unused portion of the credits
to another company or companies that
have a Pennsylvania tax liability.
Corbetts spokesman did not imme-
diately return a call seeking comment
Monday morning.
Pennsylvania competed with Ohio
and West Virginia for the planned eth-
ane-cracking plant and all three states
included tax breaks in their proposals.
Shell announced in March that it
had picked a site near Monaca, about
35 miles northwest of Pittsburgh and
signed a land-option agreement so it
can further evaluate the site.
The cracker facility would convert
ethane from natural gas produced in
the Marcellus Shale region into more
profitable chemicals such as ethylene,
which is used in making products in-
cluding plastics and tires. Shell has
said it could spend billions of dollars
on the project, which is expected to
draw other companies to the area, al-
though actual construction is still
years away.

Future tax credits would be worth
$67M a year for a petrochemical

WASHINGTON Call it a
pox on both the Republican and
Democratic houses.
More Americans now call
themselves politically independ-
ent than at any point in the last
75years, accordingtoanewpoll.
The survey also shows that
those who do align themselves
withapartyaremoreideological
and have become more polar-
ized than at any point in the last
25 years, particularly on issues
important in this years presi-
dential and congressional cam-
paigns.
Party loyalty, however, only
goes so far; neither Republicans
nor Democrats say their own
party is doing a good job stand-
ing up for its traditional posi-
tions.
Five months before the No-
vember elections, the Pew Re-
search Center poll released
Monday sheds light on how the
electorate feels about the na-
tions twomajor political parties.
And sour seems to be an under-
statement.
The results indicate a collec-
tive thumbs down to both the
Democratic and Republican Par-
ty, showing that an unpreceden-
ted 38 percent of adults rejected
both parties and call themselves
independents. Only 32 percent
nowsay they are Democrats and
24 percent now call themselves
Republicans.
This flight away from the two
major political parties began in
2008, a time of intense partisan-
ship as President Barack Obama
battled Republican Sen. John
McCain for the White House.
Then as now, independent
voters are a critical constituency
that candidates must winover to
prevail in competitive general
elections.
Exit polls show these voters
have sidedwiththe winningcan-
didate in all but two of the past
10 presidential elections. Inde-
pendents broke for Obama, 52
percent to 44 percent for
McCain four years ago. And re-
cent polling suggests independ-
ents are about evenly divided
now between Obama and Mitt
Romney, his likelyRepublicanri-
val.
Independent voters also have
been on the winning side in con-
gressional contests eight out of
nine times since 1994.

LAGOS, Nigeria Police dogs sniffed
for dead bodies Monday in the rubble of
buildings destroyed when an airliner
crashed into them, killing all 153 aboard,
as cranes lifted away heavy pieces of de-
bris in the grisly aftermath of Nigerias
worst air disaster in nearly two decades.
Rescue officials said they fear many
more people may have perished on the
ground. The airline involved said an in-
vestigation had begun into the cause of
Sundays crash.
A Nigeria Red Cross report said 110
bodies hadbeenrecovered, withmore be-
ing dug out from the rubble. A U.S. offi-
cial said American citizens had been
aboard the flight.
The pilots reported engine trouble be-
fore the plane fell out of the sky on a clear
afternoon, smashing into businesses and
crowded apartment buildings near La-
gos Murtala Muhammed International
Airport. The flight was bound for Lagos,
Nigerias commercial center, fromAbuja,
the capital. Two years ago, the same
MD-83 lost engine power due to a bird
strike, according to an aviation database.
The fear is that since it happened in a
residential area, there may have been
many people killed, said Yushau Shuaib,
a spokesmanfor Nigerias National Emer-
gency Management Agency.
Overnight, officials brought in a large
crane froma local construction company
to lift the tail of the aircraft and other de-
bris, and brought blow torches to cut
throughtheaircraft wreckage. Thedebris
still smoldered Monday morning. Some
emergency workers wore masks to try
and protect themselves from the stench
of the dead.
NigerianPresident GoodluckJonathan
spent about 20 minutes looking at the
wreckage with federal lawmakers and
said the crash was a setback to Nigerias
growing aviation industry.
We will make sure this will not repeat
itself in this country, he said, a pledge
that will be hardtokeepina nationwitha
history of major passenger plane crashes
in the last 20 years.
The cause of the crash remained un-
clear Monday. The pilots radioed to the
Lagos control tower just before the crash,
reporting engine trouble, a military offi-
cial said. The official spoke on condition
of anonymity as he was not authorized to
speak to journalists. The plane crashed
along the typical approach path taken by
aircraft heading into Lagos airport.
The plane was built by McDonnell
Douglas, which Boeing bought in1997. It
was a long-range variant in McDonnells
Douglas popular MD-80 series, one of
the most widely used plane types in the
1980s and 90s. Boeing stopped making
them in 1999.

Rescue workers search for bodies Monday at the site of a plane crash in Lagos, Nigeria. A plane carrying more than 150
people crashed in Nigerias largest city on Sunday. Firefighters pulled at least one body from a building that was damaged
by the crash and searched for survivors as several charred corpses could be seen in the rubble.
More bodies sought in Nigeria
All 153 aboard a jet died when it
crashed Sunday, but authorities fear
more fatalities on the ground.

HANOI, VietnamIfDadcalls, tellhim
I got too close to being dead but ImO.K. I
was real lucky. Ill write againsoon.
That poignant message never reached
themother of ArmySgt. SteveFlaherty. He
was killed in Vietnam in 1969 before he
could mail the letters he was carrying, in-
cluding one he might have been writing
whenhedied. Thelettersweretakenbythe
Vietnamese after his death, U.S. officials
saidinreleasingexcerpts onMonday.
The letters, chronicling the carnage and
exhaustion of war, were given to Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta in exchange for a
Vietnamese soldiers diary that was taken
fromhis body by an American GI. The let-
ters will be returned to Flahertys family in
SouthCarolina.
Vietnamese Defense Minister Phung
Quang Thanh and Panetta made the ex-
change in a ceremony in which the Viet-
namesealsoagreedtoopenthreenewsites
inthe country for excavationby the United
States to search for troop remains fromthe
war. Acidic soil in Vietnam erodes bones
quickly, leavinginmanycasesonlyteethfor
military teams to use to try to identify ser-
vice members.
Ron Ward, U.S. casualty resolution spe-
cialist at the Joint POW/MIA Accounting
Command in Hanoi, said there are at least
four U.S. troops believed to be lost in the
threeareasthatarebeingopened. Thatleav-
es eight sites still restricted by the Viet-
namese, he said.

POLICE BLOTTER
WILKES-BARRE Three of
five men charged in the kidnap-
ping and beat-
ing of a woman
in December
2010 were sen-
tenced Mon-
day with one
receiving a six-
to-12-year pris-
on sentence.
Ronald Cot-
tle, 36, Timothy Buckner, 34,
and Kevin Lewis, 25, all of
Wilkes-Barre, were sentenced
by county Judge Tina Polachek
Gartley for their roles in the as-
sault on Joan Rosengrant.
Two others, Lee Bernsdorf,
27, and Young Williams, 40,
both of Wilkes-Barre, will be
sentenced at later dates.
This was a horrific assault
that lasted a very long time,
Polachek Gartley said. (This
is a case) of extreme mental
cruelty and physical cruelty
of an atrocious nature.
Cottle, who Polachek Gar-
tley said appeared to be the
main participant in the assault,
received the longest sentence
of up to 12 years in prison on a
charge of criminal conspiracy
to commit aggravated assault.
Buckner received four to
eight years in prison on a crimi-
nal conspiracy to commit ag-
gravated assault charge, but
Polachek Gartley said his sen-
tence will run concurrently
with a three-to-21-month pris-
on sentence on driving under
the influence-related charges.
Lewis, sentenced on a charge
of criminal conspiracy to use
an electronic incapacitation de-
vice, received two years, three
months to four years, six
months in prison.
I almost lost my life that
night, Rosengrant said Mon-
day. It was a bad night that
shouldnt have happened.
According to court papers,
the men were charged after po-
lice said Rosengrant was
punched, stunned with a Taser
and had boiling water poured
on her feet on Dec. 30, 2010, in-
to Dec. 31, 2010, over an 18-
hour period.
Rosengrant told police she
was forced into Bernsdorfs
Monroe Street residence,
where the men beat her. Police
said the men originally ap-
proached Rosengrant about an
ex-boyfriend who was incarcer-
ated and allegedly robbed one
of the men.
Rosengrant suffered cuts,
burns and a fracture of the
bones surrounding an eye as a
result of the beating.
Rosengrant said Monday she
felt Buckners apology to her
was the only one that was sin-
cere, and that if it wasnt for Le-
wis opening a closet door to
free her the following day, she
might have ended up dead.
Bernsdorf will be sentenced
on June 25 after his attorney,
Brian Corcoran, said he had
short notice of Mondays hear-
ing.
Williams will next appear in
court on Aug. 10.

WESTPITTSTONAlocal dis-
trict judge will decide today
whether Wilkes-BarreMayor Tom
Leighton must pay back roughly
$15,000 the city spent to install an
alarmsystemin his home and the
home of former administrator J.J.
Murphy several years ago.
BobKadluboski, afrequent crit-
icof citycouncil, saidhefiledapri-
vate civil complaint against
Leightonseveral months ago. The
case, which was initially sched-
uled to be heard by Wilkes-Barre
District Judge RickCronauer, was
transferred to Joseph Carmody to
avoidanappearanceof aconflictof
interest.
Kadluboski wants Leighton to
pay for the for the alarm systems,
which were installed in 2005, and
an additional cost the city in-
curred to move the alarm system
when Murphy moved to another
home.
The city has defended paying
for thealarmsystems, sayingboth
Murphy and Leighton were re-
ceiving threats at the time the
alarms were installed. The city
said it paid for the alarm and in-
stallation, but MurphyandLeight-
onareresponsiblefor themonthly
monitoring bills.
Kadluboski and other city resi-
dents have been highly critical of
the expense, ar-
guing it was a
misuseof public
funds.
Whats next?
A moat around
his house? Ka-
dluboski said.
Kadluboski
saidMondayhedecidedtofilethe
private civil suit, whichnames on-
ly Leighton as a defendant, to re-
coupthe money, as well as tosend
amessagetoother publicofficials.
They are setting a dangerous
precedent here that could rever-
berate through the whole state.
Youcouldhaveeveryotherpolitic-
ian say Im going to do this at my
house, Kadluboski said.
Carmody has scheduled a hear-
ing on the suit for 9 a.m. today.

panic community? That would
open our community to under-
standing of this culture. Some-
times that can be our worst prob-
lem communication.
Inregular business, the council
took the final votes on two ordi-
nances.
One ordinance aligns the bor-
oughs wastewater regulations
withthose of the WyomingValley
Sanitary Authority. The second
finalizes an agreement between
Wyoming Seminary and the bor-
ough to close a section of North
Sprague Avenue.
Wyoming Seminary will pay a
yearly licensing fee of $12,700 to
the borough for the privilege of
closing the street.
Municipal Administrator Paul
Keatingreportedonafact-finding
investigation being conducted by
the Luzerne County Tax Collec-
tion Committee that included a
meetingheldwiththestaterepre-
sentatives andstatesenators who
represent Luzerne County.
Keating said state Act 32 re-
quires countywide tax collection
as of January 2012. Keating said
the municipality usually receives
about $3.7 million in earned in-
come tax revenues.
This represents the greatest
part of the boroughs budget. But
so far this year, the borough has
received only $87,000.
We are concerned about the
substantial delay in the ability of
our tax collector to reconcile and
distribute earned income tax to
all of Luzerne Countys political
subdivisions, Keating said after
the meeting.
This is such a serious matter,
he said.
He said the Tax Collection
Committee wants to find out if
the problemlies inthe legislation
or if the problem is with the tax
collection agency. The commit-
tees taxes are collected by Cen-
tax, the parent company of the
Don Wilkinson Agency.
Also, Robert Miller was sworn
in as a police officer in the King-
ston Police Department.

DORRANCE TWP. Royce
Engler, chairmanof the township
supervisors, said after Monday
nights meeting that a condition-
al use application hearing for
Pennsy Supply Inc. to move its
quarry operations on Small
Mountain Road has been tenta-
tively scheduled on Wednesday,
June 20 at the township fire hall.
The supervisors approved a
motion to advertise the hearing,
which Solicitor James Schneider
said will give residents an oppor-
tunity to comment on the pro-
posed project that has been re-
viewed by the planning commis-
sion and has received a surface
mining permit fromthe state De-
partment of Environmental Pro-
tection.
Beforemakingthedateofficial,
Engler said the supervisors have
tobe certainthe date doesnt con-
flict with activities being con-
ducted by the firemen. Schneider
added the hearing must be adver-
tised twice during a two-week
prior to the scheduled hearing. It
will be scheduled at the fire hall
to accommodate more persons
than ordinarily attend a supervi-
sors meeting.
At a session of the planning
commission on May 21 only two
individuals, KevinCasey of Small
Road and Joseph Chaliwick of
Blue Ridge Trial, commented on
the quarry.
According to information is-
sued by Pennsy Supply, an engi-
neering plan has been developed
whereby quarry operations will
shift from its present site on the
north side of Small Mountain
Road to the south side and will
essentially include two rock-
crushing units and an asphalt
production plant.
Besides the quarry situation,
the supervisors also voted unani-
mously to retain Andrew Ryman
as an$8.75per hour substitutere-
cycling attendant
In other matters:
Supervisors also endorsed a
festival on Saturday, June 16 that
will benefit the fire company.
Engler said that although the
intent wasnt to make money, the
spring cleanup on May 5 pro-
duced a profit of $1,668.81.
It was statedthat $1,464.84in
fines has been received from the
state police and the money has
been deposited in township ac-
counts.
In the township road report,
it was announced that a newstop
signhas beenerectedat the inter-
sectionof Georges RoadandHol-
low Road.
The next regular meeting of
council is scheduled on Monday,
July 2 at 7 p.m.

WILKES-BARRE A Mechan-
icsburg man charged in a July
crash that left an 18-year-old
woman dead will stand trial Aug.
6, a county judge said Monday.
Onix Gorbea-Lespier, 50, is
chargedwithhomicidebyvehicle
while driving under the influen-
ce, aggravated assault by vehicle
and two counts of DUI in the
crash along Interstate 81 that
killed 18-year-old Kayla Bahrey,
of McAdoo.
Gorbea-Lespiers attorney, De-
metrius Fannick, said he and his
client may have an issue with a
second blood-alcohol test that
was administered to his client,
and filed court papers Monday to
have that evidence suppressed.
Fannickalsorequestedincourt
papers that a preliminary breath
test of his client be precluded
fromthe trial, as it is unreliable
and not an accurate way of de-
termining a persons blood-alco-
hol content.
County Judge Lesa Gelb said
prosecutors have 20 days to re-
spond to Fannicks filing, and a
hearing will be held June 29.
Attorneys said they will likely
secure a toxicology expert for the
trial.
Gorbea-Lespier is free on
$10,000 unsecured bail, accord-
ing to court records.
State police allege Gorbea-Les-
pier had an alcohol level of .084
percent after he struck Bahrey
along I-81 on July 3. Bahrey was
standing outside a disabled vehi-
cle when she was hit, police said.
An adult driver in Pennsylva-
nia is considered legally intoxi-
cated with a blood-alcohol level
of .08 percent.
According to court papers, Tyl-
er Paisley was driving a Dodge
Neon that broke down on the in-
terstate, stopping on the shoul-
der near Exit141, HazletonSouth
Beltway, at about 11:30 p.m.
Paisley told police Bahrey vol-
unteered to push the vehicle and
after a short while became tired
and they decided to stop and call
for assistance.
Gorbea-Lespier told police he
was returning home after attend-
ing a picnic in Albrightsville and
admitted to drinking at the pic-
nic.
Paisley suffered injuries in the
crash and was treated at Geisin-
ger Wyoming Valley Medical
Center. Gorbea-Lespier was not
injured.
Mechanicsburg man to
be tried in fatal crash

Onix Gorbea-Lespier charged
with homicide by vehicle while
driving under the influence.
and food stamp benefits, al-
lowing 16 people who were
initially eligible, but later be-
came ineligible due to chang-
es in their income, to receive
a total of $10,802 in cash and
$3,523 in food stamp bene-
fits.
In another 19 cases, the of-
fice failed to ensure people
receiving cash benefits were
seeking employment or in-
volved in training, resulting
in $8,105 in benefits being
improperly paid out. It also
failed to ensure persons who
were convicted of crimes
were current in paying fines
and restitution, as required.
That allowed four ineligible
people to obtain $7,394.
The report faulted man-
agement for failing to ensure
recipients were in compli-
ance with regulations. In a
response to the findings,
DPW noted it has imple-
mented various changes to
address the issues.
For instance, DPW noted
it installed a new computer
program in 2009 that tracks
changes in wages from an
employer. The program now
sends an alert whenever
there is a change in income
over $100. Previously, chang-
es in income were verified
only during the recipients
annual review.
DPW said the office also
was taking steps to improve
its monitoring to ensure re-
cipients are working or en-
rolled in school, including
monthly performance re-
views of contractors who
employ recipients.
Regarding those with
criminal convictions, DPW
said the office was seeking
to establish better commu-
nication with court officials
and others to more fre-
quently monitor if a recip-
ient failed to remain cur-
rent on fines and restitu-
tion.

Pittston district residents
urged to boycott taxes
A
ttention Pittston Area School District
taxpayers. Come to the school board
meeting at 7 tonight and watch as your
taxes go up 2.8 percent.
The preliminary budget passed 8-0.
What does that tell you?
This board apparently is going to give
away the store, as this is a contract year for
the teachers. Get ready; its coming.
Changing the directors, as well as asking
our legislators for help, has failed miser-
ably. Both groups repeatedly have shown
they cannot say no.
Its up to us, the taxpayers, to take ac-
tion.
The only chance we have at real reform
in Harrisburg from the stranglehold that
the teachers unions have on us is not to
pay our school taxes this fall. If enough of
us follow through and withhold/boycott
our school taxes, the revenue will dry up
and itll bring the school district to its
knees. Then the state will come in and
take over. Nobody will lose their home if
we withhold for about a year.
The legislators dread that action. Youll
see them scramble and take taxpayer-
friendly action.
Our school board and legislators got us
in this mess, and its up to us and only us
to get out.

Theft of flower boxes
disgusts grave caretaker
T
o the inconsiderate lowlife who had the
audacity to steal/borrow not one, but
three flower boxes that I made and
placed on my deceased parents and hus-
bands graves:
When I went to attend the Memorial
Day services at Chapel Lawn, I stopped by
their graves to say hello, say a prayer and
water the plants that I placed there earlier
in the week. Lo and behold, they were all
gone.
Did you need all three? Could you not
have left the one I had Mom burnt into
the wood? I planted them myself with her
favorite flowers.
You have caused a lot of pain and sor-
row. Fortunately for me, God knows who
you are and you will be dealt with accord-
ingly. All in due time.

GRADUATION SEASON
is upon us, and words of
wisdom will be flowing to
the class of 2012 in com-
mencement speeches from
boldface personalities
such as Michelle Obama,
Steve Wozniak and Steve Carell.
A little closer to home, I would like to
offer a few insights from my dying analog
generation to one high school senior in
particular, who will soon be heading to
the University of Chicago. Because he
spends most of his time locked in his
room, on his computer, ignoring my
emails and texts, this is what I hope to
share with him during one of our rare
face-to-face encounters.
Your friends will become your surro-
gate family once the cruel, Darwinian
abandonment of your parents and siblings
is complete. And by friends, I refer to
those rare few people who will bring you
soup when you are sick, correct your tend-
ency toward self-aggrandizement and do
whatever onerous favors that are the Dig-
ital Age equivalent of driving you to the
airport. A Facebook friend will not drag
you to the health clinic when you develop
a mysterious and fast-spreading rash.
Read books for pleasure. Buy old
books you hope to dive into someday, even
if you never do. Cherish the weight of a
book on your chest as you fall asleep on a
lazy winter afternoon. Books will still be
here in 1,000 years. Pinterest will not.
A dive bar is a social platform. Tumblr
is for publicly sharing awful photographs
of railroad tracks and snowy branches no
one wants to see, not even your mother.
Despite the ongoing existence of
Transformers, a movie is not the first
layer of a multi-platform marketing
scheme but rather a singular act of art to
be experienced, debated with good friends
over food, drinks and revisited years later.
To see a film projected in a common,
shared space is central to the experience;
feeling the audience catch its breath when
Peter OToole blows out the match in
Lawrence of Arabia is a moment you will
never forget. You will be hard-pressed to
recall to your children the exact surround-
ings when you first enjoyed the serotonin-
flooding epiphany that was Charlie bit
my finger on YouTube.
Since the age of 20, I have started
every day with strong coffee and several
major daily newspapers. A newspaper
provides a robust and reliable frame for
my mental visualization of the world.
Please do not let your frame be filled up
by the Kardashians, conjoined twins, con-
spiracy theories, 46-pound cats and can-
cer-fighting Amazon lichens.
Though I can no longer imagine life
before Google or Yelp, I do remember that
I was happy, productive and healthy, the
sun streamed with equal brightness, and
my mind was deeply occupied by the mys-
teries of the universe.
Religious extremists, imprisoned
serial killers and porn stars have follow-
ers. People who read your Twitter feed are
probably just avoiding doing their actual
work.
Texting is a wonderful way to avoid
the intrusiveness of the average, non-
urgent phone call, but outside of that
narrow context, it serves only to enable
people who cannot write a simple declara-
tive sentence.
I have nothing helpful to say about
your ability to hear, acquire and share new
music. I cannot defend playing my vinyl
copy of The White Album on any terms
other than petty nostalgia, and I will take
that false moral superiority to my grave.
Finally, a liberal arts education is an
idea that has fallen out of favor with my
generation and yours, and I am insanely
proud that you have chosen that path. Let
others pursue a narrow and relentless path
toward one percentagery, but remember
that very few people wake up every day
and look forward to their labors. Most

COMMENTARY
B R U C E S T O C K L E R
T
ICK, TICK, TICK ...
State government
and school districts
have been hearing the
sound of a time bomb for some
time, years in fact, but have
done precious little tofigure out
which wire to cut.
The time bomb, of course, is
the state pension system. It
once was simply a state employ-
ee problem, but then, a few
years ago, public school teach-
ers who were members of the
Pennsylvania State Education
Association were given parity
with their brethren in state ser-
vice. That made it a worry for
local school districts as well.
Now, as the time draws nigh
for a spike in pension contribu-
tions by Harrisburg and the
more than 500 school districts
around the state already smart-
ing from state subsidy cuts, the
Legislature is beating its chest
that something has to be done
and done fast.
State Sen. Jack Corman, R-
Centre County, is chairman of
the Appropriations Committee,
and recently expressed that
theres no tax increase that is
palatable, theres no spending
cuts that are palatable to make
room for the contributions of
where this pension obligation
would go for the state. No, Mr.
Corman was not dealing in hy-
perbole.
In fact, the gorilla that has
been sitting quietly in the cor-
ner, all but ignored by lawmak-
ers and administration for too
long, has begun to make noise
that no one can ignore.
Corman pledged that the
General Assembly would abso-
lutely, positively tackle the
pension bomb in next years
budget.
We wish himwell in his quest
for a solution and hope that
both sides of the aisle will set
aside partisan posturing to de-
fuse this ticking time bomb. Be-
cause, if theydont if theysput-
ter and spit and come to naught
as they have time and again
with real tax reform then the
fiscal viability of not only one or
two, but several school districts
could be at stake.

STATE OPINION: FUND CRISIS
Pension bomb
about to go off
N
EW YORK MAYOR
Michael Bloomberg
has been on a years-
longcrusade against
obesity, or at least against the
cultural and commercial forces
that promote it. In his latest
step, hes proposing to ban the
sale of super-size sugary drinks
by restaurants, cinemas, street
vendors and stadium conces-
sionaires. The move
exemplifies the ten-
sion between indi-
vidual liberty and so-
cietal responsibility
thats particularly
acute in the field of
public health. Amer-
icans cherish their
freedom to live as
they choose, without nanny
state dictates from the gov-
ernment. But because theyre
not willing to deny medical
care to people who urgently
need it, society has to pick up
the tab for those who make
heedless choices. Striking the
right balance between the two
will be one of the central chal-
lenges for government in the
coming decades, as rising
health care costs put an in-
creasingstrainonfederal, state
and local budgets.
Almost everything govern-
ment does restricts the free-
dom of the governed in some
way. Spending programs have
to be paid for with taxes that
leave people less money to use
as they see fit. Laws limit what
people can do without risking
fines, lawsuits or incarcera-
tion. People tend to accept
these limits without complaint
when theres a clear connec-
tion to public safety and civil
order, or a clear benefit from
the spending thats proportion-
ate to the cost.
But telling the
average person
that he has to eat
X or cannot eat Y
goes a step fur-
ther. It intrudes on
personal deci-
sions that con-
sumers make with
their own dollars
that affect just their own bod-
ies. Thats what makes even a
relatively tame proposal such
as Bloombergs big-cup ban so
controversial. The larger and
more difficult question for the
public is where todrawthe line
between an appropriate gov-
ernment effort to improve pub-
lic health and an inappropriate
interference with individual
autonomy.
Ultimately, society will de-
cide what limits to place on in-
dividuals in the name of public
health, andofficials whogofur-
ther thantheir constituents are
readytogowill be tossedout at
the next election.

County Assessment Director
Tony Alu said his office has elim-
inated some recipients who we-
rent entitled to the benefit based
on tips about potential abuse.
Some property owners also have
requested removal fromthe eligi-
bility list because they are mov-
ing in with family members or
opting to receive a more gener-
ous homestead break on other
property in Florida, he said.
HazletonAreahas aggressively
scrutinized its database of eligi-
ble households, flagging address-
es and names that indicated indi-
viduals may be claiming the ben-
efit on multiple properties or
properties that are not primary
residences, said district Business
Manager Anthony Ryba.
The work has paid off because
the number of tax break recip-
ients went from 19,896 last year
toanestimated17,616this year in
the district, state figures show.
If people are on there more
than once, theyre taking money
away from others, Ryba said.
With fewer participants, the
gambling break is estimated to
increase $18 next year in Hazle-
tonArea. Thedistrict alsopartici-
pates in an Act 50 program that
allows earned income revenue to
reduce property taxes. The two
programs combined reduced
school tax bills by $367 inthe dis-
trict last year.
Larksville property owner
Grace Griffin, president of the Ci-
tizens Against Property Taxes or-
ganization, appreciates the gam-
bling-funded reduction but said
its not enough.
Property taxes are projected to
increase 2.4 percent in her dis-
trict, Wyoming Valley West,
eating into the savings, she
said.
Eight county school dis-
tricts have discussed upcom-
ing property tax increases.
Griffin supports proposed
legislation that would elimi-
nate school property taxes by
increasing the state sales tax
and personal income tax.
She compares the relatively
flat gambling break to a rod
with an apple dangled in front
of horses to keep them going.
What theyre doing is just
giving us dribs and drabs
piecemeal to keep us quiet.
Were not going to see any-
thing more fromthe gambling
revenue, and if we do, its go-
ing to be very little, Griffin
said.
HOMESTEAD
Property owners dont have to reapply for the homestead/farmstead
tax break once theyre accepted unless they relocate. March 1 is the
deadline for new applications.
The deadline has been extended from June 30 to Dec. 31 for the states
property tax/rent rebate program to allow more eligible state residents
to apply, a state release said.
Residents 65 and older, widows and widowers age 50 and older, and
disabled adults 18 and older may qualify.
The income limit is $35,000 a year for homeowners and $15,000 an-
nually for renters, excluding half of Social Security income.
The maximum standard rebate is $650.
Claim forms and related information are available at www.revenue.sta-
te.pa.us or by calling, toll-free, 1-888-222-9190.
Forms and assistance also are available at Department of Revenue
district offices (listed in the government section of phone directories),

GET YOUR BREAK ON PROPERTY TAXES
partys county executive commit-
tee agree(s) withwhat he stands
for. But theres a line between
personal feelings and the rules.
We are being very careful with
how we proceed legally, Casey
said on Monday. We dont want
to engage in a frivolous lawsuit.
But the perceivedslowresponse
and lack of an outcry from party
leadershasstirredanemotional re-
sponse from one of the partys
nominees for a state House seat in
this falls general election.
Aaron Kaufer is a proud Repub-
licananda proudJew, but the elec-
tion of a man with ties to a white
supremacy group as a committee
person has the candidate for state
representative boiling mad.
This is another black eye for
Luzerne County, said Kaufer, of
Kingston, who is the Republican
nominee for the 120th state
House seat, currently held by
Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston.
As a Jewish Republican, this is-
sue hits very close to me.
Casey said he has spoken to
Kaufer and understands his feel-
ings, but the party does not want
to rush and make ill-advised deci-
sions.
Im sorry were not moving as
fast as Mr. Kaufer would like us
to, Casey said.
Casey noted one thing being
looked into is whether Smiths
prior conviction for making ter-
roristic threats and ethnic intimi-
dation, for which he received a
60-day sentence andprobation, is
enough to bar him from serving.
Luzerne County Election Bu-
reau solicitor Mike Butera said
Smiths criminal conviction
might disqualify him from hold-
ing public office, but it does not
affect his ability to hold an elect-
ed political party position. That
determination will be based on
the bylaws of the party.
Its not a government posi-
tion. Its a party position. You
have to look at bylaws of the Re-
publican Party to see what they
say about qualifications for com-
mitteemen, Butera said.
Casey, ina statement issuedlate
Monday by the Luzerne County
GOP, said, The Bylaws of the Lu-
zerne County Republican Com-
mittee indicate that the only qual-
ification for election to the county
committee be that one has been a
registered Republican for the two
years preceding their election.
There is no other eligibility re-
quirement in this regard. Also,
there is noexpress provisioninthe
bylaws of the LCRCthat wouldau-
thorize the executive committee
or the district committee to expel
a member of the committee for his
or her beliefs.
Inadditionto statements issued
by the Luzerne County Democrat-
ic Party and Republican Party, the
Pennsylvania GOP also con-
demned Smiths viewpoints while
noting that he was duly elected,
even if only by himself.
Valerie Caras, a spokeswoman
for thestateRepublicanParty, said
her organization unabashedly de-
nounces the views of Mr. Smith. In
no way do they reflect the views of
the Republican Party. However,
the matter is one that has to be
dealt with by the county GOP.
SKINHEAD
makes you stronger and better,
Sobel said. An iconic institution
like Penn State should be able to
weather this storm.
Tom Pugh of Hunlock Creek,
former vice president at Allied
Services John Heinz Institute, is
a proud Penn State grad, as are
his four children. He said the
great shame is that Paternonever
had the opportunity to defend
himself in a trial as Sandusky
will.
Penn States reputation is not
at stake, Pughsaid. The reputa-
tion of Mr. Sandusky is at stake
here. The university is much big-
ger than Sandusky and will be
just fine.
Pugh said Penn States reputa-
tion and image have not been
badly tarnished. He said the
Sandusky scandal is not a reflec-
tion of the university, its gradu-
ates, students or its administra-
tion.
Sandusky is a reflection of
Sandusky, he said. If he is con-
victed of the charges, he should
be punished severely.
Pugh said everyone he comes
in contact with offers support for
Penn State.
One person Paterno has
been disparaged and hes certain-
ly not ina positionto defendhim-
self to tell his side of this story,
Pugh said.
Attorney Mike Hudacek of Ply-
mouth, a former board member
at Penn State Wilkes-Barre and
anardent supporter of the univer-
sity andits football program, said
the school will come out of the
situation extremely well.
When the Sandusky case is
over, people will eventually for-
get, he said. Most people want
it over now.
Hudacek said he and his wife,
Sylvia, and son Mike Jr. have
great hopes for the university and
for the football program. He re-
mains dismayed, however, at the
way Paterno was handled.
He (Paterno) never got a
chance to tell his story, Hudacek
said. But we havent wavered
one iota in our support for Penn
State. We will still go to all the
football games home and away
and our tailgate group has ac-
tually increased.
Sobel said the best way to ad-
dress the situation is to break
down all the stakeholders stu-
dents, faculty, employees, sup-
porters, fans, donors andthe pub-
lic to ensure all details and con-
cerns are being addressed. He
said the worst thing would be to
run from the situation.
Penn State has to reinforce all
of its positions of strength, So-
bel said. They cant be defen-
sive. Look at all of the positives
and center on those.
Sobel said the university needs
to embrace the situation by sup-
porting organizations that help
victims of abuse, by talkingabout
scholarships and medical re-
search and social issues that af-
fect the community.
Penn State needs to play to its
strengths, hesaid. Dont hidein
the corner; good news always
trumps bad.
Nicole Boyle, 29, of Plains
Township, a 2005 graduate, said
if the allegations against Sandus-
ky are proven, he should get
what he deserves.
I in no way think that the ac-
tions of one sick person should
reflect negatively on the educa-
tion that students have received
over the years at Penn State or
the institution itself, Boyle said.
People in power may have han-
dled it improperly, but I dont
think the students or alumni
shouldbe lookeduponnegatively
because of attending the institu-
tion.
FUTURE
leged victims, said the ruling
wont stop his client fromtestify-
ing, but that having his name
made public in open court could
make it harder for himto live his
life.
Its almost as if hes being
brandedwithascarlet letter, An-
dreozzi said. This is something
he maynot ever be able toescape
from Oh, hes one of Jerry
Sanduskys victims.
Sanduskys lawyer, Joe Amen-
dola, has argued that more time
was needed to wade through in-
formation turned over by prose-
cutors, and to help make defense
experts and witnesses available
for trial. But he lost recent delay
requests at the county, Superior
Court and Supreme Court levels.
Cleland wrote last week that
no date for trial is ever perfect,
but some dates are better than
others.
Amendola said Sandusky will
be present for jury selection.
AlsoMonday, Clelanddenieda
request by Sanduskys lawyer to
order the Attorney Generals Of-
fice to turn over information it
has collected about potential ju-
rors. Cleland said there was not
enough evidence to warrant a
hearing on the matter, and noted
that prosecutors have said they
have only done what a diligent
defense attorney would do.
Even if the commonwealth
collected the information in this
case in the manner the defense
asserts and which the common-
wealth denies, I do not believe
that the information is constitu-
tionally required to be turned
over to the defense, Cleland
wrote.
The basis for the defense re-
quest was an anonymous letter
that claims tolist theinformation
prosecutors have collected. The
motion itself has been sealed.
A motion filed by counsel
must be supportedbyallegations
of fact backedupwithsome cred-
ible basis to believe the allega-
tions to be true, Cleland wrote.
Otherwisethecourtandcounsel
can be engaged in chasing chim-
eras.
Cleland has not ruled on de-
fense motions tohave some or all
of the charges thrown out.
He previously had said he
wouldallowelectroniccommuni-
cation, but not photographs or
the recording or broadcasting of
any verbatim account of the pro-
ceedingswhilecourt isinsession.
The AP and other media
groups sought clarification on
Friday, particularly whether ver-
batim quotes would violate the
rules. In response, Cleland re-
scinded permission for any elec-
tronic communications from in-
side the Centre County cour-
troom or a media annex when
court is in session.
It is readily apparent fromthe
allegations inthe medias motion
... that the standard I applied in
my definition is confusing to re-
porters, unworkable, and, there-
fore, likely unenforceable, the
judge wrote.

I
t rained on the last day of the
Wyoming Valley Country Club
Classic, but that didnt do much
to dampen anyones spirit.
Because its a place where win-
ning means everything, but losing
means nothing.
Just ask Art Brunn Jr., who lost
the tournament championship along
with his partner Steve Skiro, but
won respect.
Brunn Jr. was treated like a celeb-
rity after finishing runner-up to the
winning team of Tom Biscotti and
John Mikiewicz, mainly because
Brunn got in the kind of zone gol-
fers dream by sinking eight birdies
in nine holes of the quarterfinal
round.
It wasnt something I put any
thought into, Brunn Jr. said. It
just sort of happened.
It so happened he couldnt dupli-
cate that unprecedented feat in the
Classic during the final day Sunday,
but who can?
Thats golf, Brunn Jr., the head
golf coach at Holy Redeemer High
School, said.
Thats half the fun of it.
You never know what youre going
to get from one swing to the next.
Or who.
This years WVCC Classic turned
into a whos who of local legends
whove left their glory days in other
sports for the challenge of putting a
little white ball on the greens and
maddeningly trying to perfect their
putts.
Hanover Area football coach Ron
Hummer went from quarterbacking
his old Hawkeyes high school team
to a state football championship to
playing in the 10th Flight consola-
tions with his teammate Jim Sabati-
ni.
Former area baseball star Tom
Wasilewskis still proving as difficult
to beat on the greens as he once
was on a pitchers mound, going all
the way to the championship flight
quarterfinals with partner Rick
Berry.
But the heavy hitters at the
WVCC werent limited strictly to
the sports world.
They crossed over into the arena
of politics.
The mayor, Tom Leighton, took
his swings on the final day of the
tournament then dashed directly
to church in his golf clothes. Judg-
ing by his scores, he doesnt get to
golf much.
I dont have time, said Leight-
on, who now runs the city of
Wilkes-Barre and was once a local
basketball official.
He brought along to the Classic
his brother John Leighton, who
spends his spare time sprinting up
and down basketball courts as a
well-respected high school and col-
lege official.
And Jeff Lewis, a former top ten-
nis player at Hanover Area High,
took time away from his job as a
chiropractor and official capacity of
serving as the Hanover Twp. com-
missioner to win the finals of the
fifth flight with his partner Steve
Fromel.
They all seemed to have tons of
fun.
Don Crossin had a blast, and
drove off in a new car after hitting
a hole-in-one on the 13th hole of
Fridays opening-round action. Then
Kevin Russo duplicated that hole-in-
one feet on the same hole Saturday.
But Tom Biscotti and John Mi-
kiewicz had a blast.
They won the whole thing, after
years of trying.
The greatest golfing moment of
my life, Biscotti said.
Funny, but a lot of area golfers
left feeling that same way.

SCHUYLKILL HAVEN When
youve waited two years to get back to
the state tournament, whats another
hour and 47 minutes?
After a trio of dramatic lead changes,
Nanticoke sat out a rain delay of nearly
two hours before its game with Pine
Grove reached an anti-climatic ending
umpires ruling the teams would not re-
turn to the field giving the Trojanettes
a 5-4 victory in six innings in the PIAA
Class 2A softball tournaments first
round.
"I cant believe that,
in the state tourna-
ment, theyre going to
say we cant come back
for one inning," Pine
Grove coach Alan Felty
said. "To end some-
ones season on a technicality ... rain.
The field was playable when they called
the game (for the rain delay). Give me a
choice between playing for three outs in
the rain or this, I want to play."
"Its a shame. I feel bad the game had
to end this way," Nanticoke coach Gary
Williams said. "It hadbeena great game
up to that point. I can understand them
being upset."

PARIS On days like these, when
so little goes right and so much goes
awry, Maria Sharapova tosses away
the strategies and scouting reports
her coach devises and, well, does
whatever it takes to win.
Locked in a three-set, 3-hour strug-
gle at a wet and windy French Open
on Monday, Sharapovas right, racket-
swinging wrist was aching and
that, she insisted, was the least of her
problems.
There was the tumble to her back-
side that Sharapova could laugh about
later. The exasperating line calls, and
what the second-seeded Russian con-
sidered an obstinate chair umpire.
The 12 double-faults, plus 41 other er-
rors of Sharapovas own doing. The
nine breaks she allowed, including
three while serving for the match. The
unseeded foe who wouldnt go away.
It was, Sharapova summed up, a
good test for me.
Certainly the first shes faced at Ro-
land Garros this year. After dropping a
total of five games in three matches
that averaged less than an hour each,
Sharapova moved into the quarterfi-
nals at the only Grand Slam tourna-
ment she hasnt won by dispensing
with tactics and swinging away until
she finally pulled out a 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2
victory over 44th-ranked Klara Zako-
palova of the Czech Republic.
Imuseless with game plans. Thats
probably the one thing (coach Tho-
mas Hogstedt) just gets so frustrated
with me about, Sharapova said. I go
out there and I do my own thing, and
then hes like, after the match, Really?
Whats the point? I mean, whats the
point of having me? But I apologized
when I hired him, in advance, so hes
OK.
Hogstedts take?
Its good we have a day off tomor-
row so we can step it up again, he
said. This was clearly a match where
she was not playing as well as she
should.
Hmm.

LOS ANGELES Jonathan
Quick made 22 saves in his third
shutout of the postseason, Anze
Kopitar had a goal and an assist,
and the Los An-
geles Kings
rolled to the
brink of the fran-
chises first NHL
title, beating the
New Jersey Dev-
ils 4-0 in Game 3
of the Stanley
Cup finals on
Monday night to
take a 3-0 series
lead.
Alec Martinez
scored the open-
ing goal, and Jeff
Carter andJustin
Williams added
late power-play
goalsastheWest-
ern Conference champion Kings
moved one win away from finish-
ing one of the most spectacular
playoff runs in league history.
Eighth-seeded Los Angeles im-
proved to 15-2 in the postseason
and jumped to a 3-0 lead in its
fourth straight series a first in
NHLhistory.
Game 4 is Wednesday night at
Los Angeles.
Martin Brodeur stopped 17
shots, but the Devils couldnt beat
the spectacular Quick or his penal-
ty-killers, who turned aside six
power plays. New Jersey must ac-
complishjust the fourthcomeback
from an 0-3 series deficit in NHL
playoff history towinits thirdtitle.
After opening their first Stanley
Cup finals appearance in 19 years
withtwoovertimevictoriesinNew
Jersey, the Kings survived another
solid performance early in Game 3
by the Devils, who had ample op-
portunity to take an early lead.
NewJerseyhasbeenprettygood
in the finals, but nothing has been
able to slow down these Kings,
who seemdestined to become the
first No. 8 seed to win the Stanley
Cup.
The Devils had never lost three
straight Stanley Cup finals games
in the franchises five appearances.
New Jersey hadnt lost three
straight games this season since
late February.
The Kings had to survive their
early nerves from playing in front
of their title-starved fans, and they
barelyhungonat times against the
Devils dynamic forechecking in
the first two periods.

MIAMI Chris Bosh has been telling
the Miami Heat that hes ready to play.
The Heat seem ready to listen.
And Game 5 of the Eastern Conference
finals which wouldnt be lacking for
drama withBostonandMiami tiedat two
games apiece may have another signif-
icant layer of intrigue.
Boshs status was upgraded to day-to-
day by Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on
Monday, the first deviation by the team
after more than three weeks of simply
sayinghis absencewas indefinitebecause
of a strained lower abdominal muscle.
Spoelstra wouldnt guarantee that Bosh
plays in Game 5, but opened the door to
there at least being a chance of the All-
Star forward-center suiting up.
Hell get a vote, Spoelstra saidof how
much Boshs input will matter in deter-
mining when he takes the floor. Again,
everything is heightened right now.
These are extreme circumstances. Every-
body will be involved in the decision, if
and when it happens. But you always
have to take the players opinion with a
grain of salt. They all say theyre ready. ...
He said he was ready 10 days

KANSAS CITY, Mo. It
started off as the kind of auda-
cious idea that a couple of bud-
dies having a quarter-life crisis
bandy about over a beer at a ball-
game.
AdamKremers and Chase Hig-
gins, a pair of 20-something base-
ball fans, had been watching
their beloved Kansas City Royals
play the Minnesota Twins when
the conversation drifted toward
cycling, another one of their pas-
sions. Then they thought of pair-
ing them together.
They would ride their bikes
across the country, hitting every
big league stadium along the
way, and make it worthwhile by
putting on free clinics for kids
wherever they stopped.
Eleven-thousand miles. Thirty
ballparks. One memorable sum-
mer.
Biking for Baseball, this idea
is combining everything I love,
said Kremers, who quit his job as
an engineer to embark on an am-
bitious odyssey. I believe in be-
ing a positive influence in a kids
life. Its a simple thing, but its
something you can use to impact
the world.
Higgins gave up his job, too.
The whole team did: Steve Lunn
and Rex Roberts, who are also
logging miles on their bikes, and
Tim Sherman, who is providing
the support.
When I reflect back on it, its
kind of growing into its own
monster now, said Roberts, who
signed onto the project about six
months after its initial ballpark
brainstorming.
I was excited about the bike
aspect and seeing the parks, and
the kid stuff was a big part of it,
Roberts said, but thats been a
much bigger aspect than I ex-
pected.
The band of cyclists started in
Seattle on April 13, taking in the
Mariners game against the As.
Then they hopped on their two-
wheeled rides and headed down
the coast.
They had worked out most of
the winter, riding on stationary
trainers when they couldnt get
on the road, but there was no real
way to prepare for the mileage.
They pedaled 900 in nine days to
reach Oakland, the second stop
on their trip, and felt just about
every one of them.
Our bodies werent used to
100 miles a day and not recuper-
ating, so we definitely had some
serious knee pain, Kremers
said. We just had to go really
slow. Slower than you ever bike.
I talked to somebody who had
done a trip, this other guy and
his wife, and he said, You know,
I had knee pain at the beginning
and it went away, and I thought,
My gosh, thats reassuring.
After catching games at Oak-
land Coliseum and AT&T Park
in the Bay Area, the team shot
south to see the Dodgers and An-
gels in Los Angeles. They picked
off San Diego, cut through the
desert to hit up Arizona, and
headed north to Colorado, where
they have friends and family.
Then an 850-mile haul to sub-
urban Dallas for a Rangers game,
and a relatively quick trip to
Houston, where they watched
the Astros beat the Reds 5-3 on
Sunday.
They left Monday for perhaps
the most grueling stretch: 1,100
miles in nine days through the
muggy southeast, catching
games over the next few weeks
in Tampa, Miami and Atlanta.
Their route will take them
back through St. Louis to Kansas
City, just in time for the All-Star
break and their own much-
needed reprieve. Then theyll
head off toward Minnesota and
begin making their way east, fin-
ishing up at Fenway Park on
Sept. 21.

B A S E B A L L
NEW YORK Mike Mathe-
ny tried all sorts of things to
snap the Cardinals out of their
hitting funk.
The St. Louis manager let
his players show up late to the
ballpark. He gave Yadier Moli-
na a rare chance to bat clea-
nup. He encouraged star Carlos
Beltran to swing away at a 3-0
pitch.
Not a whole lot worked,
though. Not until Allen Craig
provided what any struggling
team will always take a big
home run.
Craig hit a tiebreaking, two-
run homer in the eighth inning
and the Cardinals found a bit of
absent pop, beating the New
York Mets 5-4 Monday and
stopping their season-worst
losing streak at five.
The Cardinals have never
been swept in a four-game
series in New York. The World
Series champions had been
outscored 19-1 by the Mets and
no-hit by Johan Santana before
salvaging the finale at Citi
Field.
Doesnt take much. Just a
win, Matheny said. That was
much needed, and nobody
needed it more than we did. It
will change the atmosphere
around here. You never know
which win will be the one that
helps you take off.
St. Louis seemed headed for
another rough day at the plate
when five of its first seven
batters struck out. All told, the
Cardinals fanned 41 times in
the series.
Even early on, we started
out with a few strikeouts. Its
just one of those periods you
go through, Matheny said.
You just got to keep working,
keep fighting. Youve got to
trust yourself and, fortunately,
we got a couple of big hits
when we needed them and
thats the thing we were mis-
sing.
Pinch hitter Scott Hairston
and Lucas Duda homered for
the Mets, who missed a chance
to move all alone into the NL
East lead.
After playing the Mets on
Sunday night, Matheny permit-
ted his players to report late on
a rainy morning, with most of
them getting to the ballpark
about two hours before game
time.
Giants 3, Cubs 2
SAN FRANCISCO Ryan
Vogelsong won his fourth
straight decision, Buster Posey
scored the go-ahead run on a
double-play groundball by
Joaquin Arias in the seventh
inning and the San Francisco
Giants beat the Chicago Cubs
for a four-game sweep.
Brandon Crawford hit an RBI
double and drove in another
run on a fielders choice to
back Vogelsong (4-2), helping
the Giants to their season-best
fourth straight victory on a rare
wraparound getaway game on
a Monday.
San Francisco (31-24) moved
a season-best seven games over
.500. The Giants began the day
trailing NL West-leading Los
Angeles by three games. The
Dodgers had a night game at
Philadelphia. Cubs reliever
Carlos Marmol (0-2) was hit
with a line drive on Angel
Pagans infield single in the
seventh but stayed in the game
after being checked out, then
walked Brandon Belt on four
pitches to load the bases for
Arias.
Dodgers 4, Phillies 3
PHILADELPHIA Elian
Herrera hit a tiebreaking RBI
single off Jonathan Papelbon in
the ninth inning to lift the Los
Angeles Dodgers over the
Philadelphia Phillies.
Placido Polanco hit a tying,
two-run homer to help the
Phillies rally from a 3-0 deficit
against Clayton Kershaw, but it
wasnt enough.
Dee Gordon ripped a triple
to right-center to start the
ninth against Papelbon (0-2).
Herrera followed with a groun-
der through the shortstop hole
to put major league-leading
Los Angeles ahead to stay.
Papelbon is 15 for 15 in save
opportunities, but hasnt fared
as well in non-save situations.

STANDINGS/STATS
WASHINGTON The
judge in the Roger Clemens
perjury trial ruled Monday
that defense lawyers cant call
Rep. Darrell Issa as a witness.
Issa is chairman of the
House Oversight and Govern-
ment Reform Committee, the
panel that Clemens allegedly
lied to in 2008 when he denied
taking performance-enhanc-
ing drugs.
Issa, a California Republi-
can, wasnt chairman at the
time, and he had criticized the
committee for holding the
hearing on drugs in baseball.
Defense lawyers hoped his tes-
timony would help call into
question the hearings legiti-
macy, and sent a subpoena to
the committee to try to compel
his appearance as a witness.
Lawyers for the committee
filed a motion to quash the
subpoena. They said his ap-
pearance at the trial should be
barred under the Constitu-
tions speech or debate clause,
which protects elected officials
from being questioned in a
lawsuit about their legislative
work.
In granting that motion, U.S.
District Judge Reggie Walton
said he didnt have to invoke
the speech or debate clause.
He said that relying on Issa to
make such comments again on
the stand amounted to specu-
lation. The judge said that if he
did allow Issa to testify, he
would have to let the govern-
ment call other lawmakers
who supported the hearing
dragging out the trial thats al-
ready in its eighth week.
Youd end up with a swear-
ing match, Walton said.
Walton also said that Issa
might not be that great a wit-
ness for the defense, after pros-
ecutor Steve Durham pointed
out Issas comment after the
hearing that he didnt doubt
that Clemens had perjured
himself.
Issa might bury your cli-
ent, Walton warned Clemens
lawyers. If I was in your all
shoes, I would be very loath to
call him.
Clemens lawyers were more
interested in Issa because of
his comments as a rank-and-
file member of the committee
in2008 thanbecause of his cur-
rent post as chairman. Defense
filings noted that back then, Is-
sa was quoted as saying the
hearings smacked of the tac-
tics of the infamous former
Sen. Joseph McCarthy, who
hauled people before his com-
mittee looking for Communi-
sts.
Clemens was not in the
courtroom for Mondays mo-
tions hearing.
Issa not
allowed to
be witness
The Rep. is protected by the
Constitutions speech or
debate clause.

Chicago White Sox pinch hitters in the ninth to pre-
serve a 5-4 win.
1915 Philadelphias Grover Cleveland Alexander
lost his no-hitter when Artie Butler punched a single
with two outs in the ninth. Alexander struck out Bob
Bescher for the final out to beat St. Louis 3-0. Alex-
ander went ontopitchthreemoreone-hitters during
the season.
1929 The Cincinnati Reds scored nine runs in the
sixth inning, en route to a 21-4 win over the Chicago
Cubs.
1935 Chicago White Sox rookie pitcher John
Whitehead loses to St. Louis 2-0. It was his first loss
after winning his first eight starts, an AL record for
the start of a career.
1943 New Yorks Carl Hubbell snaps the Giants
losing streak of seven games by pitching a one-hit-
ter against the Pittsburgh for a 5-1 win. The only hit
for Pittsburgh was a solo homer by first baseman
Elbie Fletcher.
1949 Commissioner Happy Chandler lifted the
ban on all players who jumped to Mexico, starting in
1946.
1955 New Yorks Mickey Mantle hit a home run
off Chicagos Billy Pierce that traveled an estimated
550 feet. The ball cleared the left-field upper deck at
Comiskey Park.
1959 Pittsburghs Dick Stuart hit the longest
home run at Forbes Field. Stuart hit a shot over the
center-field wall off Chicago pitcher Glenn Hobbie.
1966 Leo Cardenas of the Reds hit four home
runs in a doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs.
Cardenas hit two home runs in each game as Cin-
cinnati won the opener 8-3 but dropped the second
game 9-5.
1974 Cleveland had nine baserunners against
Texas and all nine score in a 9-3 victory. It was the
last time this happened in the 20th century.
1976 Despite getting three home runs by Bill
Robinson, Pittsburgh lost to San Diego, 11-9 in 15
innings.
1986 San Diegos Steve Garvey was ejected for
the first time in his career when he argued a play at
home plate. Garvey, the on-deck hitter, protested
the last out of a triple play by the Atlanta Braves.
Television replays showed that Bip Roberts was in-
deed safe. The Padres lost 4-2.
1989 The Blue Jays lost their debut in the Sky-
Dome as Glenn Braggs hit a two-run homer to lead
the Milwaukee Brewers past Toronto 5-3. The $375
million complex featured a $100 million, four-sec-
tion, retractable roof.

SECAUCUS, N.J. CarlosCor-
rea was all smiles when he heard
his name announced, knowing he
had made hometown history at
the baseball draft.
The Houston Astros selected
the17-year-oldsluggingshortstop
withthe No. 1pickMonday night,
making him the first player from
Puerto Rico to lead off the draft.
This means a lot, Correa said
from the draft site at MLB Net-
work studios. Weve got a lot of
good players there.
Correa, however, istheonlyone
to be drafted first from an island
that has produced its share of
baseball royalty: Roberto Clem-
ente, Ivan Rodriguez, Carlos Bel-
tran, Carlos Delgado, JuanGonza-
lez, Bernie Williams. Some of
thoseplayerssignedasfreeagents
catcher Ramon Castro had
been the highest-drafted player
out of PuertoRico, goingNo. 17to
Houston in1994.
I feel so excited to be the No. 1
pick, said Correa, who was con-
gratulated by Delgado on Twitter.
Ive worked so hard to be here.
It was the first time Houston
had the top pick in the draft since
1992, when the Astros selected
Phil Nevin passing on a young
shortstop named Derek Jeter,
who went five spots later to the
Yankees.
I have readabout that, Correa
said, callingJeter his idol as much
for the NewYork captains charac-
ter off the fieldas on. I want to be
like him. Hes awesome.
First-year Astros general man-
ager Jeff LuhnowsaidCorreahas
a chance to be a star who could
hit 20-30 home runs in the pros,
whether its as ashortstopor ulti-
mately maybe third base.
Correa said hed like to stay at
shortstop, and he plans to use his
signing bonus to help his family.
As hewalkedtothepodiumand
shook hands with Commissioner
Bud Selig before a brief hug, Cor-
rea pulled out a small Puerto Ri-
canflagandheldituptobigcheers
from the crowd of major league
representatives and fans gathered
in the stadium-themed studio.

time in Boston, the Heat led for
exactly six minutes. The Celtics
have led by at least 15 points in
each of the last three games, nev-
er trailing by more than eight,
though managed to win only two
of those contests. And Game 4
nearly slipped away as well, Mia-
mi digging out of an 18-point
hole to take the lead late, before
falling 93-91 in overtime as
Dwyane Wades 3-pointer to win
it fell just short at the final buzz-
er.
Bostons Paul Pierce fouled
out for the third time in the last
ago.
The Celtics were ready for him
then, too.
So if today is the Bosh come-
back night, Boston will not be
caught off-guard.
We dont have to do anything
different, Celtics coach Doc
Rivers said. Weve prepared ev-
ery game like Bosh is going to
play. And eventually, he will.
Bosh was watching from the
bench for the two games in Bos-
ton, where the Celtics managed
to tie the series by following
largely the same formula
building a big lead, then holding
on at the end.
Of the 101 minutes of game
five games, after having that hap-
pen three times in the first 122
playoff games of his career. And
Miamis LeBron James picked up
six fouls for the first time in his
107 playoff games, none of the
six fouls being of the shooting
variety and four of them coming
with the Heat in possession of
the ball.
I thought a few of my fouls
were, I dont know, James said
Sunday night.
Who fouled and when made
for good theater, but all that ulti-
mately mattered was the score,
with Boston guard Rajon Rondo
scoring the final three points of
the game and the Celtics turning
a best-of-seven series into a best-
of-three.
Weve got to win a game in
Miami, of course, Pierce said af-
ter Game 4. We have a chance of
winning this series. Its not going
to be easy. You know, a good old
classic bar fight. Going in to it
you got to expect every game to
be like this. Coming down to the
wire, both teams trying to find
an edge.
This core of Celtics Rondo,
Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray
Allen, who seems to be playing
without the pain that left him
hobbling a week ago have
found themselves in a 2-2 series
eight times before. Every time,
theyve won Game 5, though sev-
en of those wins have come in
Boston.
The exception was at Cleve-
land in 2010, a 120-88 romp that
went down James final home
game as a member of the Cava-
liers.
No one said it was easy,
James said. This is great. This
is what the postseason is all
about. Its about adversity and
ups and downs. Like I said, you
never get too high and you never
get too low. We look forward to
Game 5.
Theyll especially look for-
ward to it if Bosh gets the all-
clear sign today. Bosh has had
several on-court workouts in the
past week, and Spoelstra said he
was going to evaluate him again
Monday.
Bosh was injured late in the
first half of the opening game in
the Indiana-Miami second round
series on May 13. In the nine
postseason games since, Miami
has gone 5-4. If he can play, the
Heat would welcome whatever
Bosh can provide, even if that
means working a key player back
into the lineup to face Garnett
and Bostons frontcourt in the
midst of a playoff series.
Chris is obviously very talent-
ed and poses his own problems,
but I dont think Kevin is that
concerned with whoevers
there, Rivers said.
Since Bosh arrived with James
to play alongside Wade in Miami
in July 2010, the Heat have won
72 percent (116-45) of their
games with him in the lineup.
Without Bosh, Miami has won
only 52 percent of the time, go-
ing 12-11.
We couldnt win without him
for two years. And not only could
we not win without him, we
looked horrible without him,
Spoelstra said. So I think that
was the bigger challenge. If and
when we ever get to that point,
well gladly take that challenge.
He was our most important play-
er for a long period of time.

At press time, the Oklahoma
City Thunder had just defeated

in Game 5 of the Western
Conference finals.
field line by Samantha Lengel.
Both runners scored to put the
Cardinals back in front 4-3.
But Nanticoke refused to
shrink against the wildly effec-
tive Santai, who walked three
and threw 45 balls among 115
pitches. Pitcher HannahRubasky
helped her cause with a leadoff
single to left in the sixth inning.
Twobatters later, Gowrocketeda
triple into left field. Nanticoke
took the lead on the play as Gow
was awarded home when Pine
Grove shortstop Jenna Sidlecks
throw to third was wide of the
bag and rolled into a narrow
opening in the fence, going out of
play.
"Sammy came to play today,"
Williams said. "She really came
through when we needed her to.
Andwe hada little luck. Imthere
yelling down, down, down! andI
see the ball go by. Im watching
going oh, man, thats a good
roll."
Sidleck atoned for the error
with a one-out triple in the bot-
tom of the sixth, but she did not
score thanks to the play of Gola
and catcher Katie Wolfe. Koons
crunched a sure single into the
hole, where a diving third base-
man Gola corralled the ball. She
then threw home to Wolfe, who
chased Sidleck and made the tag,
erasing the threat.
"She hung inthere tough," Wil-
liams saidof Gola. "The plays she
didnt make were really tough
plays. But she made the big plays
with her glove and her bat when
we needed them."
Koons doubled to start the
game for the Cardinals and
scored on a single by Santai. The
lead became 2-0 in the fourth in-
ning when Koons singled off Ru-
basky to score Jena Androshick
from third.
Nanticoke will play either
Kutztown or Chestnut Ridge on
Thursday in the quarterfinals at a
site and time to be determined.

The game was called four
pitches into the bottom of the
seventh inning, as Pine Grove
aimedfor another of its rallies. In-
stead, the Cardinals were left
with their first loss of the season
to a Class 2A team.
"We won eight games in the
last inning this season," Felty
said. "Thats bull. I felt good with
the top of the order coming up.
Why wouldnt I? We had runners
on in every inning (except the
second).
"We dont play again until
Thursday, so whats the rush?
Win or lose, just give us a chance.
Not for me; my kids, Ive got se-
niors who will never get to play
again.
Nanticoke (22-3) showed the
poise that comes with having 13
seniors on the roster, and the
bulk of the roster being part of a
state championship team just
two seasons ago. The Trojanettes
came back from deficits of 2-0
and 4-3 to win their fifth consec-
utive state playoff game.
Limited to two hits in four in-
nings against Pine Grove (23-2)
flamethrower Ethel Santai, Nan-
ticoke scored five runs on seven
hits in the final two innings. The
five earned runs were a season-
high against the junior pitcher,
who had allowed just 12 all sea-
son. She averaged 13 strikeouts
per game this season, but man-
aged just six against the disci-
plined Trojanettes.
"We had worked with them in
practice getting ready for her,"
Williams said. "We knewshe was
fast andshes tough. Wehadthem
move back in the box and work at
shortening up their swings be-
cause they needed more time to
see the ball."
Ninth-place batter Kayla Ben-
jamin started the fifth inning
with a single for Nanticoke and
Sammy Gowlaced the next pitch
into right-center field for a dou-
ble. With two in scoring position,
Ange Hillan ripped a single up
the middle, off the glove of a div-
ing Keandra Koons at second
base and into center field. Benja-
minscoredeasily andGowslidin
to tie the game at 2.
Two batters later, Maggie Gola
launched a triple to right, plating
Hillan and giving Nanticoke a 3-2
lead.
The District 11 champions re-
sponded in the bottom of the
fifth, getting singles from Aman-
da Kemmerling and Santai in

Monday, a hilly 116-mile ride
from Seyssins to Saint-Vallier in
the French Alps.
The Australian attacked in the
final miles, holding off a late
surge by Frances Jerome Coppel
and Kazhak rider Andrey Kash-
echkin to finish in 4 hours, 36
minutes and 21 seconds.
Defending Dauphine winner
Bradley Wiggins of Britain took
the yellow jersey of overall race
leader, finishing 4 seconds be-
hind Evans in a large group that
also included two of Evans
American teammates, veteran
George Hincapie and rising star
Tejay Van Garderen. Wiggins
now leads Evans by 1 second in
combined time from the first
stage and Sundays prologue.
Hushovd out of Tour de
France
PARIS Veteran rider Thor
Hushovd will not compete in
the Tour de France this year
because he is still recovering
from a viral infection.
At last years Tour, the 34-
year-old Norwegian wore the
race leaders yellow jersey for
seven days and won two stages.
He also won the green jersey for
best sprinter in 2005 and 2009.

Evans sharp, captures
1st stage of Dauphine
her wrist, which she repeatedly
flexed during the match and fid-
dled with at her news confer-
ence afterward, shouldnt be an
issue. Something else that might
not be? The opposition. It seems
that nearly every day a potential
roadblock is swept out of the
draw, from Serena Williams, to
Francesca Schiavone, to Li Na.
Indeed, Sharapova now has
one thing in common with every
woman left: None has won the
French Open.
Her next opponent, No. 23
Kaia Kanepi of Estonia, hasnt
been beyond the quarterfinals at
any Grand Slamtournament but
got to that round for the fourth
time by defeating unseeded
Arantxa Rus of the Netherlands
6-1, 4-6, 6-0.
Asked whether she thinks she
can beat three-time major cham-
pion Sharapova, Kanepi replied:
If I play well, of course. Why
not?
Kanepi didnt indicate wheth-
er that was based on having seen
Sharapovas error-strewn per-
formance against Zakopalova on
an afternoon when the temper-
ature dippedinto the 50s andthe
occasional drizzle fell. Sharapo-
va said she jammed her wrist on
a service return but it should be
fine. ... Nothing to worry about.
Rafael Nadals pursuit of a re-
cord seventh French Open title
rolled on with another rout, this
one a 6-2, 6-0, 6-0 victory over his
pal, Juan Monaco of Argentina,
whos not exactly a slouch he
was seeded 13th and has won
five clay-court titles.
But Nadal is 49-1for his career
at the French Open and might be
better than ever. Hes lost a total
of 19 games so far, the fewest
through four completed match-
es at Roland Garros since Guil-
lermo Vilas 16 games in 1982.
I feel really comfortable, real-
ly at ease, Nadal said. When
the tournament is over, Ill tell
you if this was my best Roland
Garros or not. For the time be-
ing, Im still playing. So far, so
good. But well see. Things
could change.
Hell take a 7-0 head-to-head
record into an all-Spanish quar-
terfinal against No. 12 Nicolas
Almagro, who beat No. 8 Janko
Tipsarevic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.
When three-time major final-
ist Andy Murray walked on
court, he was booed by a parti-
san crowd pulling for Frances
Richard Gasquet. Murray ig-
nored a poor start, a still-bother-
some back and more taunting
and teasing from fans to win 1-6,
6-4, 6-1, 6-2. Next for Murray is a
quarterfinal against No. 6 David
Ferrer, whooverwhelmedNo. 20
Marcel Granollers 6-3, 6-2, 6-0.
In two matches halted in pro-
gress Sunday night by darkness,
No. 5 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga fin-
ished off No. 18 Stanislas Waw-
rinka 6-4, 7-6 (6), 3-6, 3-6, 6-4,
while No. 9 Juan Martin del Po-
tro defeated No. 7 Tomas Ber-
dych 7-6 (6), 1-6, 6-3, 7-5.
Aiming to be Frances first
male champion at a Grand Slam
tournament since Yannick Noah
in Paris in 1983, Tsonga now
plays No. 1 Novak Djokovic on
Tuesday ina rematchof the 2008
Australian Open final. Del Potro
set up a rematch of the 2009 U.S.
Open final he won against 16-
time major champion Roger Fe-
derer.
Del Potro is 2-11 overall
against Federer, including a loss
in the 2009 semifinals at Roland
Garros, and was asked the key to
winning this time.
Play an unbelievable match.
Try to take my opportunities.
Serve100 percent. Tryingtoplay
winners with my forehand, with
my backhand, and (force) himto
raise his game, del Potro ex-
plained, then went on a little
longer, capping the list with un-
believable shots.

UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio
U.S. captain Davis Love III
wont have to watch potential
Ryder Cup players at the U.S.
Open on television.
Hell be playing alongside
them.
Love qualified for the U.S.
Open for the third time in the
last six years with a 2-under 139
at Scioto Country Club and Ohio
States Scarlet Course.
Love, who finished tied for
16th at the Memorial on Sunday,
said it never crossed his mind to
just bag it and go home rather
than extend an already long
week by playing 36 more holes.
No. Like last year, statistical-
ly I hit the ball well enoughat the
U.S. and the British to win, he
said. I definitely want to play.
The 48-year-old Love has won
20 tournaments around the
world, including the 1997 PGA
Championship. He continues to
play well, despite fighting off in-
juries, family obligations and an
entire generation of younger
players.
He was among 16 players to
qualify fromthe biggest of the 11
sectional qualifying sites across
the country on Monday.
One of them wont even get
started until Tuesday. There was
so muchraininMemphis, Tenn.,
that no one played more than a
few minutes. USGA officials
hope the course is dry enough to
squeeze in 36 holes.
The U.S. Open is June 14-17 at
The Olympic Club in San Fran-
cisco, and the 48-year-old Love
will be making his 23rd appear-
ance in his national open. Others
who qualified from Scioto and
Scarlet included medalist Char-
lie Wi, Kevin Streelman, D.A.
Points, Rod Pampling and Steve
Marino, who only last week re-
turned from a four-month break
to recovery from a bad shoulder.
Love still hasnt forgotten the
details froma year ago, however,
when he three-putted the last
hole he played at Colonial that
cost him an automatic spot in
the Open at Congressional. He
had to go through qualifying to
get in the field.
I seemtoplaywell inthequal-
ifying because I dont have a
scoreboard to look at, he said.
You just play.
Perhaps the biggest cheer of
the day came as darkness was
falling at Scioto Country Club.
On the fourth playoff hole to
decide the last qualifiers, 42-
year-old Youngstown, Ohio,
teaching pro Dennis Millers 20-
foot putt fromthe fringe stopped
on the lip of the cup. After the
gallery of a fewhundred groaned
andMiller slowly startedtowalk
to his ball, if fell touching off a
huge celebration.
Now Miller, a third alternate
whose name did not even appear
on the tee sheet, will be playing
in his first U.S. Open.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. NAS-
CARon Monday suspended Kurt
Buschoneweekfor verballyabus-
inga media member. The suspen-
sionwill holdhimout of Sundays
race at Pocono Raceway in Long
Pond.
NASCARsaidBuschsbehavior
after Saturdays Nationwide Se-
ries raceat Dover was inviolation
of the probation he was placed on
after an incident last month at
Darlington. Busch was fined
$50,000 by NASCAR and placed
on probation through July 25 for
recklessdriving
on pit road, and
a post-race al-
tercation with
Ryan New-
mans crew
members.
That proba-
tion has now
beenextendedthroughtheendof
the year.
Buschs latest penalty stems
fromaconfrontationwithaSport-
ing News reporter after Satur-
days race. Contact on the track
with Justin Allgaier led to a dis-
cussion on pit road after the race,
and Busch was asked if being on
probation impacted the way he
raced Allgaier.
It refrains mefromnot beating
the (expletive) out of you right
now because you ask me stupid
questions. But sinceImonproba-
tion, I suppose thats improper to
say as well, Busch replied. The
exchange was captured on video.
Its yet another bump in the
road for Busch, who has been try-
ing to recover this season from a
series of ugly meltdowns that
contributed to him losing his job
inDecember withPenskeRacing.
Busch had a rage-filled rant on
his teamradio last year that drew
widespread attention, sparred
with two reporters in September
at Richmond, and then was
caught on video by a fan verbally
abusinganESPNreporter during
the season finale. The video was
posted on YouTube, and Busch
was fined$50,000byNASCARaf-
ter it went public.
He and Penske Racing split
about a week later in what was
called a mutual agreement. Al-
though most believe Busch was
fired in the fallout of yet another
embarrassing incident, he has
maintained he was no longer en-
joyinghis timeracingandneeded
to leave Penske to put the fun
back into racing for me.
Busch has seemingly tried to
do that this year driving for un-
derfunded Phoenix Racing, but
his talent outweighs the capabili-
ty of his race teamand its caused
his temper to get the best of him
on more than one occasion.
Its what happened at Darling-
ton last month. A flat tire caused
Busch to wreck with six laps re-
maining in the Sprint Cup race,
and he headed to pit road for re-
pairs. As he left, he did a burnout
throughNewmans pit box. There
were crewmembers over the wall
and on pit road at the time, and
they complained they could have
been injured by Buschs actions.
Busch also ran into Newmans
car on pit road after the race, and
several of Newmans crew mem-
bers confronted Busch, who said
he was taking off his helmet and
didnt see Newmans car.
Newman went on the offensive
aftertheincident, accusingBusch
of havingachemical imbalance.
Its easy to see and its easy to
say that Kurt blew a fuse again,
Newman told SI.com after the
race. Im not sure why he did it
andtriedtorunover our guys and
NASCARofficials. Andnobodyis.
Circumstances I think are that he
lied (about hitting Newmans car
onpit road) andwas sofrustrated
that he doesnt knowhowto deal
with his anger.
Busch, the 2004 NASCAR
champion, admitted last Decem-
ber hes seeing a sports psycholo-
gist to help himwith his temper.
This latest penalty comes as
Busch is jockeying for one of the
seats due to become open at the
endof the year. Hes saidall along
thisyearisabout positioninghim-
self to return to a top-level ride
next season.
It also marks yet another sus-
pension for the Busch family.
Younger brother Kyle was sus-
pended last November for two
races at Texas because he inten-
tionally wrecked Ron Hornaday
Jr. in a Truck Series race.

Noon, Sunday, TNT
Busch suspended for Sundays Pocono race
NEW YORK Triple Crown conten-
der Ill Have Another is headed to new
digs, along with his potential 10 rivals in
Saturdays Belmont Stakes.
Theyll take up residence no later than
noon Wednesday in a special barn where
every move and visitor will be closely
monitored, a change in routine that has
angered some trainers. New York racing
officials mandated the last-minute move
as part of new rules to ensure that the
race is run fairly.
Like a real prison, the so-called deten-
tion barn has bare bulbs illuminating ev-
ery stall and visitors have to be logged in
and out. Instead of being spread out in
barns around Belmont Park, all Belmont
runners will be sequestered in stalls next
to each other.
Track workers were busy fixing up
Barn 2 on Monday for the incoming resi-
dents. The trainer and his horses who
had occupied the barn were moved else-
where to make room.
The stalls were pressure washed, then
given a fresh coat of yellow paint with a
layer of finely ground dark stone spread
on the cement floor to ensure even foot-
ing. Straw bedding would be put down
later. Outside, a worker ignored the rain
and brushed dark green paint on the ag-
ing barn.
Trainer Doug ONeill, who is facing a
45-day suspension in July, plans to move
Ill Have Another into the special barn on
Tuesday. Since arriving from Baltimore
two weeks ago, the colt has been staying
in a stall borrowed from another trainer
since ONeill is based in California.
ONeill accepts the new rules, al-
though hes not thrilled about having to
uproot Ill Have Another so soon before
he tries to become the first horse since
1978 to sweep the Kentucky Derby,
Preakness and Belmont.
The obvious negative thing is a lot of
horses do get distracted when they
change stalls, he said Monday. It
sounds silly but it happens.
Michael Matz, who trains Union Rags,
and Dale Romans, who oversees Dulla-
han, dont like being forced to sequester
their horses on short notice.
Do they make this stuff up as they go
along? Matz wondered last week when
the new rules were announced.
Added Jim Barnes, assistant to trainer
Bob Baffert, Its not what wed want to
do.
Romans was blunt, wondering who
would be on the hook if his horse fails a
test.
Them, for guarding my horse, or now
am I still responsible for everything? he
said before answering his own question.
Id still be responsible, but still dont
have any control.
The scrutiny on ONeill has been in-
tense since the California Horse Racing
Board last week announced his suspen-
sionanda $15,000fine inthe aftermathof
one of his horses testing positive for an
elevated total carbon dioxide level nearly
two years ago. Hes had other similar vio-
lations over the years.
Adding to the charged atmosphere is
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomos take-
over of the troubled NewYork Racing As-
sociation, which has gone through bank-
ruptcy proceedings and a state bailout in
recent years.
While New York officials didnt single
him out in changing the rules, ONeill
knows their move hasnt made him pop-
ular with his fellow trainers.
Im sure Matz and Romans probably
want to kill me, but I think its a good
thing, he said about the detention barn,
which was abandoned at Belmont in
2010.
I like the thought of showing the gen-
eral public that all the horses are in the
same locker room, theyre all being
looked after real thoroughly, just the
transparency that our game probably
lacks is key.
Not every horse reacts the same way to
changes in their routines, whether it in-
volves location, feeding or care.
When horses are moving in there,
sure, its going to be a little anxious, said
Barnes, who is overseeing Bafferts Bel-
mont horse Paynter until the Hall of
Fame trainer arrives Wednesday. There
will be horses hollering, but they should
all settle in pretty good I would imagine.
ONeill hopes his colt will take the
move in stride.
Fortunately, Ill Have Another has a
good disposition that I dont think it will
be distracting to him, but you never
know, he said.
Along with the horses go equipment,
feed and hay, making the move more la-
bor intensive than simply walking the
horses to their new stalls. Upon arrival,
they will each have a blood test to be re-
viewed that night by a drug lab.
Everyone associated with the horses,
including trainers, assistants, veterinar-
ians, grooms, hot walkers and owners,
will have to pass through 24-hour securi-
ty. Vets have to give advance written no-
tice of any planned treatments.

Belmont Stakes

NORFOLK, Va. After playing
doubleheaders on back-to-back
days, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees could have used a short
game on Monday at Harbor Park
on getaway day.
Instead, the Yankees nearly
played nearly the equivalent of
another doubleheader against
Norfolk pulling out a 5-4 victory
in 13 innings.
SWBusedsevenpitchers inthe
game, which lasted 4 hours, 29
minutes and was won on Jack
Custs second home run of the
game and 12th of the season in
the top of the 13th off Norfolk in-
fielder Carlos Rojas, who was
summoned to pitch the final
frame.
The winning pitcher was Yan-
kees catcher Ryan Baker, who
was just activatedoff the disabled
list last week and hasnt even tak-
en an at-bat for the team yet. But
he threw two scoreless innings
on Monday only allowing one hit
and struck out one.
Cust almost won the game for
the Yankees in the top of the
tenth when he belted a longball
to put his team ahead 4-3. But
Norfolkextendedthe contest get-
ting a run in the bottomof the in-
ning against Nelson Figueroa on
a run-scoring single.
The Tides nearly ended the
game in the frame as well loading
the bases before Figueroa in-
duced a groundball double-play
to end the threat.
Infielder Corban Joseph hit his
third home run of the season for
the Yankees inthe thirdinjust his
sixthgame withthe teamfor a1-0
lead. Brandon Laird scored Jo-
seph with a single in the sixth to
put SWBahead2-1. The Tides led
3-2 after six and the Yankees
evened the score at 3-3 in the top
of the seventh when Kevin Russo
singled in Francisco Cervelli.
The Yankees offense will be
getting help with Russell Bra-
nyan, who will replace Steve
Pearce. Pearce was traded to Bal-
timore last week.

The Times Leader staff
CHICAGOBigTenadminis-
trators would prefer a plus-one
system over a four-team playoff
to determine a national cham-
pion if the BCS cant be main-
tained in its current form.
Nebraska chancellor Harvey
Perlman said conference presi-
dents would choose to keep the
current BCS system as is if there
were a vote today. But he added
change appears to be inevitable.
In the plus-one format, the bowl
games would be played, and then
the toptwoteams wouldmeet for
the title.
We think that in many re-
spects, (the current systemis) as
good as you could do, with obvi-
ously some changes about auto-
matic qualifying and perhaps
howthe top two teams are select-
ed, he said. But were also real-
istic. That doesnt seemto be one
that has gotten a lot of support,
and that some movement is nec-
essary.
Perlman spoke on a conference
call with reporters Monday, a day
after presidents and chancellors
met at league headquarters in
suburban Chicago. As the top
conferences negotiate over a
playoff system, the Big Ten is
showing some flexibility, while
remaining adamant that the
bowls and its alliance with the
Rose Bowl be preserved.
While it prefers the plus-one
model, the conference seems
willing to listen to proposals for a
playoff system. Either way, com-
missioner Jim Delany acknowl-
edged, the current poll-basedsys-
tem is flawed. A selection com-
mitteemight beanoptioninpick-
ingthe postseasonteams, Delany
said.
Three meetings this month
couldgo a long way towardmold-
ing the playoff model, although
Delany said discussions could
stretch beyond that the BCS
meeting June 13 in Chicago; the
NCAA Division I Conference
Commissioners Association on
June 19-20 in Chicago; and the
BCSPresidential Oversight Com-
mittee June 26 in Washington.
The key issues are honoring
champions, honoring strength of
schedule, honoring teams and
coaches that try to play good
schedules and recognizing a
team that plays an additional
championship game versus one
that doesnt has an additional ob-
stacle of challenge, Delany said.
He has floated the idea in the
past that top three conference
champions and an at-large team
make up the playoff field as a
way to think about whos in the
event but isnt married to that
concept.
We dofeel strongly that cham-
pions ought to be honored, Perl-
man said. There was little dis-

LONDONDERRY, Northern
Ireland Irish Republican Ar-
my supporters clashed with
police Monday and forced
Olympic torch organizers to
divert the route of their relay,
marring what had been a jubi-
lant days procession through
a sun-soaked Northern Ire-
land.
Police said at least one pro-
tester was arrested after mem-
bers of a 200-strong group
broke through police lines as
the torch passed the city hall
building in Londonderry,
Northern Irelands second-
largest city. Londonderry is a
power base for several small
IRA factions still plotting to
wreck the peace process. No
serious injuries were reported.
The protesters made clear
they were seeking to confront
police, not the Olympic torch
itself. Many carried placards
denouncing the police, who
have mounted raids in har-
dline Irish republican parts of
the city ahead of the torchs
visit.
Hours before the torch ar-
rived in Londonderry, British
Army experts dealt with a sus-
pected bomb left near a Ca-
tholic high school but declared
it a hoax device. Police also ar-
rested a suspected IRA mem-
ber in an unrelated raid. On
Saturday, police were attacked
with a homemade grenade,
wrecking the front of their
sports utility vehicle but injur-
ing no officers.
While most IRA members
renounced violence and dis-
armed in 2005, several splinter
groups continue to mount at-
tacks, particularly against po-
lice.
Officers surrounding the
torchbearer, 58-year-old Isobel
Coote, quickly changed course
and escorted her down a side
street where she resumed her
journey to the citys new pe-
destrian Peace Bridge. It spans
the River Foyle, which divides
Londonderry into a predomin-
antly British Protestant east
side and an Irish Catholic
west.
Londonderrys member of
the British Parliament, Mark
Durkan, said most residents
would be absolutely disgust-
ed that anti-British militants
had undermined such a posi-
tive day for the city. He said
they broke a behind-the-scenes
agreement not to interfere
with the torch run.
It was not a massive detour
... but it was not what was
planned and that is pretty em-
barrassing, Durkan said.
The brief clash near London-
derrys Guildhall was at total
odds with the rest of the days
celebratory, even giddy air as
the symbol of the London
Games enjoyed a leisurely
stroll along stunning coastal
scenery and a string of tourist
hotspots basking in rare sun-
shine.
The Olympic cavalcade be-
gan Monday on the Carrick-a-
Rede rope bridge, a vertigo-in-
ducing attraction that con-
nects mainland cliffs to a tiny
island. One torchbearer cross-
ed the footbridge, with its
views underfoot of crashing
waves 30 meters (yards)
down, and used her flame to
light another runners torch.
Next, another torchbearer
walked carefully along the Gi-
ants Causeway, an up-and-
down natural stairway com-
posed of tens of thousands of
six-sided basalt rocks that run
right into the Atlantic. The
carrier, 54-year-old Ironman
athlete Peter Jack, said he had
to concentrate not to slip or
stumble on the wet, flat-
topped columns of basalt.
About 1,000 spectators and
visitors cheered as he reached
the highest rock nearest the
waterline and raised the flame.
The torch next visited the
ruins of Dunluce Castle, a cliff-
side residence that was aban-
doned after its kitchen and
staff fell one night into the At-
lantic. Then the flame was
loaded onto an eight-man row-
ing boat and ferried across the
Bann, the major river of North-
ern Ireland that cuts the prov-
ince into a predominantly Pro-
testant east and mostly Ca-
tholic west.
On the road into Londonder-
ry, torchbearers passed
through the villages of Bally-
kelly and Greysteel, names
synonymous with two of the
worst mass killings of North-
ern Irelands conflict.
In December 1982 in Bally-
kelly, an IRA splinter group
called the Irish National Liber-
ation Army killed 17 people
and wounded 30 with a time
bomb left in a crowded disco
frequented by British soldiers
from a nearby base.
The small bomb, placed be-
side a pillar, made the roof col-
lapse. Eleven of the dead were
soldiers, the other six local
Protestant women and teenag-
ers. It was the second-worst
death toll from a Northern Ire-
land bombing, overtaken only
by the Omagh bombing of
1998, when a car bomb by the
Real IRA faction killed 29 civil-
ians.
Greysteel, a mostly Catholic
village on the road to London-
derry, entered world headlines
in October 1993, when anti-Ca-
tholic militants from the out-
lawed Ulster Defense Associ-
ation burst into a pub full of
party-goers celebrating Hallo-
ween, shouted Trick or
treat! and tried to shoot ev-
eryone inside. Eight civilians
died and 13 were wounded in
the Rising Sun Bar. A plaque
outside the pub honoring the
eight dead reads: May their
sacrifice be our path to peace.
The torch travels Tuesday
through more than a dozen
Northern Ireland towns and
villages, including Omagh. On
Wednesday, it crosses the bor-
der for a circuit of Dublin, the
capital of the Republic of Ire-
land, before returning north
for a tour of Belfast and party
outside Belfast City Hall.

McCartney says hell
close Olympic
opening ceremony
LONDON Paul McCartney
has confirmed an
Olympic-sized rumor, saying
hell be the closing act at the
London 2012 opening
ceremony.
Earlier this year the former
Beatle disclosed that he was in
talks to play a role in the
celebrations.
On Monday, he confirmed:
Ive been booked.
He told BBC radio station 5
Live that he would be closing
the opening of the games.
The lineup for the ceremony,
overseen by Slumdog
Millionaire director Danny
Boyle and themed Isles of
Wonder, is a closely guarded
secret, but many had
suspected McCartney would be
involved. The Olympic Games
take place July 27 to Aug. 12.
RIO DE JANEIRO The
IOC is making its annual visit
to inspect Rio de Janeiros
preparations for the 2016
Olympics.
The International Olympic
Committee entourage began
its three-day visit Monday. It
will receive updates from Rio
officials and local organizers
and visit some of the construc-
tion sites for the games.
Coordination commission
leader Nawal El Moutawakel
and IOC executive director Gil-
bert Felli will stay in Rio
through Wednesday along with
the other 16 members.
It is the third full inspection
visit to Rio since the city was
picked in 2009 to host the
games. The IOC will make two
more annual visits, beginning
next year.
IOC officials were in Rio for
a project review in March, say-
ing they were satisfied with the
citys preparations but warning
organizers not to waste time.

NEW YORK Carmelo An-
thony knows the U.S. Olympic
mens basketball teamheaded to
London may not be the power-
house that was expected.
Not without the likes of
Dwight Howard and Derrick
Rose, the best of the Americans
who have been knocked out.
Injuries, man. Injuries is do-
ingit all, Anthony saidMonday.
Anthony is still healthy, along
with what he feels is more than
enough talent to overcome the
losses that would cripple most
other teams.
For me, Im just happy that I
canbeapart of it again, theNew
York Knicks forward said. The
guys that Ive talked to that will
participate are definitely excited
about this opportunity, another
opportunity to go over there and
get a gold medal.
Anthony was among the 2008
Olympicchampionswhoquickly
committedto returnfor a shot at
a repeat. That seemed almost a
given when the U.S. named a
loaded roster in January that in-
cludeda mixture of the 2008 and
2010 teams. That latter won the
world championship behind Ke-
vin Durant, who broke U.S. scor-
ingrecords Anthony hadset four
years earlier in the 06 worlds.
However, Howard needed
back surgery and Rose tore knee
ligaments in the opener of the
playoffs. Chauncey Billups and
LaMarcus Aldridge had already
gone down, and the U.S. could
still have further losses if
Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh,
who has missed nine straight
games with a lower abdominal
strain, decidetheyneedrest after
the Miami Heats season ends.
The Americans still should
have the likes of LeBron James,
Kobe Bryant, Anthony, Chris
Paul and Deron Williams from
the08team, withplayerssuchas
Durant, Russell Westbrook, Ty-
son Chandler and Kevin Love
joining them from the world
champions.
Right now we still have most
of the core guys that was on that
(Olympic) team, Anthony said.
Of course we will miss Dwight,
Derrick Rose. We dont know
about Chris Bosh at this point in
time right now, but weve got a
lot of youngtalent that cancome
along and that I think can fit in
with us.
Anthonywill report totraining
camp in Las Vegas with the rest
of the U.S. team on July 5. On
Monday, he participated in an
event where Jeep, a USABasket-
ball partner, gave away a trip to
watchthe Americans exhibition
game there against the Domin-
ican Republic on July12.
Anthony says team
will overcome injuries
U.S. mens basketball team
will miss Howard and Rose for

Mohegan slots up in May
Slot machine revenue at the Mohe-
gan Sun at Pocono Downs casino grew
faster than the statewide average in
May. The Plains Township gambling
hall took in $19.7 million from its 2,332
slot machines in the month ended May
27, up 4.3 percent from $18.9 million a
year ago. The statewide average
growth among 10 Pennsylvania casinos
operating both years was 1.5 percent.
Mount Airy Casino Resort near
Mount Pocono saw revenue growth of
1.1 percent, to $12.9 million in May.
Revenue per machine rose, as the casi-
no cut the number of slots on its floor
to 2,074, 201 less than in May, 2011.
Clothier sued over ads
Two customers of Jos. A. Bank
Clothiers Inc. have filed a class-action
lawsuit against the Hampstead, Md.-
based mens apparel chain, accusing
the retailer of using deceptive market-
ing by claiming merchandise is on sale
when it is actually being offered at
regular price.
The lawsuit asks the court to award
damages and stop the retailer from
using misleading advertising.
The lawsuit says that, contrary to
Jos. A. Banks representation, the
merchandise is perpetually on sale,
and the sale price is actually the price
at which Jos. A. Bank regularly offers
their merchandise for sale.
Chesapeake board shakeup
Chesapeake Energy Corp. said Mon-
day it plans to replace four of its exist-
ing board members in the next few
weeks. The board has been under fire
for recent corporate governance contro-
versies and the companys stock has
plunged as natural gas prices hit 10-
year lows.
Activist shareholder Carl Icahn or a
person he chooses will take one seat on
the board. The companys biggest sha-
reholder, Southeastern Asset Manage-
ment, which holds a 13.6 percent stake,
will select three board members. A fifth
board member is retiring.
Corzine could be sued
Former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine
could face a lawsuit from the trustee
trying to recover $1.6 billion in custom-
er money from the collapse of the bro-
kerage MF Global.
James Giddens, the trustee over-
seeing the liquidation of the company,
said in a bankruptcy court filing Mon-
day that he might sue Corzine for
breach of fiduciary duty and negli-
gence.

The release of Win-
dows 8, Microsofts
latest operating sys-
tem, is fast approach-
ing, and Microsoft
has made a preview
freely available, so
everyone can see what all the buzz is
about.
Its quite a change from previous
versions of Windows. Sporting a
colorful, touch-optimized user in-
terface, called Metro, Windows 8
aims to redefine how people use their
computers. Users of the Xbox 360
and Windows Phone 7 devices will
find themselves at home with the
new interface, while veteran users of
previous versions of Windows may
have some retraining ahead.
Everything about the new oper-
ating system seems to be centered on
the tasks that people regularly per-
form on their computers so its a
little more friendly than previous
versions of Windows. Instead of pro-
grams, there are Apps. Theres an
app for social media, another for mail
and others for photos, finance, news,
travel and even sports. Theres also
the Windows Store, where users
can download Windows apps.
While the apps themselves are
really very easy to use, I have a gut
feeling that people who have spent
the last 10 or 20 years coming to
grips with past versions of Windows
may be a bit put off by them.
As another nod to Xbox users,
Windows 8 features a program called
Xbox Companion, which allows a
user to control an Xbox360 and
stream files directly between PC and
console.
The whole operating system is
quite a bit more fluid than past ver-
sions of Windows. The initial Start
screen is composed of groups of
floating icons called Live Tiles that
contain frequently used apps, pro-
grams, news, social events and pic-
tures or videos. While on paper that
may not sound particularly intuitive,
its actually more useful than having
a desktop stuffed with static icons.
As I used it, Windows 8 seemed to
learn what I did and didnt use fre-
quently, and everything was so easy
to see that I never found myself hunt-
ing for anything.
As for the actual guts of the oper-
ating system it feels quite a bit
like Windows 7, and the hardware
requirements are similar 1Ghz
processor speed, 1GB Bram, and
16GB of storage space.
The final release date for Windows
8 hasnt been announced but is ex-
pected to possibly be in October.
Early adopters who are fairly tech
savvy and comfortable with poten-
tially wiping out their entire comput-
ers can grab the latest release of
Windows 8 at: http://tlgets.me/7d4.

PITTSBURGH -- While most of the
nation is still trying to claw its way out
of the deep economic crater left by the
recession, this one-time steel capital is
already out -- thanks largely to the re-
lentless growth in health care jobs.
Partly because of the outsized ambi-
tions of the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center, the health care indus-
try has replaced manufacturing as the
regions powerhouse. About 1 in 5 pri-
vate-sector employees in the Pittsburgh
area today work at a hospital, a doctors
office or in some other health services
business.
But evenas thehealthcareboomsped
up Pittsburghs recovery, the economic
transformation has left many people
worried about the side effects.
Among the concerns: overdepend-
ence on a rapidly shifting industry, huge
nonprofits that dont generate much in
tax revenue, and a business model that
exacerbates the disparity in income
among workers.
And thats not just in Pittsburgh.
This is the U.S. in a microcosm, Ei-
leen Appelbaum, a senior economist at
the Center for Economic and Policy Re-
search, said about the rise of health care
and the issues that has wrought.
Through April, health care services
have added about 770,000 to their pay-
rolls since the start of the economic re-
covery in June 2009 -- about one-third of
all newjobs, according to the U.S. Labor
Department.
But, spending for medical care is
nearing one-fifth of the U.S. economy,
much more than in other developed na-
tions and beyond what governments,
businesses and consumers can afford.
Health care has fueled job growth for
ageneration. WhenPittsburghs steel in-
dustry began its collapse in the early
1980s, health care employment was a
third of manufacturings.

Health care boosts Pittsburgh
By DON LEE
Tribune Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON The global
economys foundations are weaken-
ing, one by one.
Already hobbled by Europes debt
crisis, the world now risks being
hurt by slowdowns in its economic
powerhouses.
The U.S. economy, the worlds
largest, had a third straight month
of feeble job growth in May. High-
flying economies in China, India
and Brazil are slowing, too.
Fears of a global economic down-
turn have sent investors rushing to-
ward the safest possible invest-
ments: U.S. and German govern-
ment bonds. As a result, the interest
rate on the 10-year U.S. Treasury
note has hit a record-low 1.46 per-
cent. The rate on the German 10-
year bond is even lower: 1.17 per-
cent.
Treasurys are at 1.46 because
people are freaking out, says Mark
Vitner, senior economist at Wells
Fargo Economics.
The gravest fear is Europe. The
most urgent threat is that in mid-
June, Greek voters will reject the
terms of a $170 billion bailout
which called for painful budget cuts
and abandon the euro. The move
could ignite economic and financial
chaos as Greek debts shift from de-
nominations in euros to Greek
drachmas of uncertain value.
Yet the global economys troubles
go well beyond Greece. The dismal
news suggested that the U.S. econo-
my is enduringa midyear slumpjust
as in 2010 and 2011.

Already this
month our rain-
fall is 1 to 2 inch-
es above normal,
but this was not
expected to be a
wet month.
Chances are this
rainy trend will
not continue
over the coming
weeks. This week
the culprit is a
stalled storm
over the North
Atlantic helping
to sustain cool
north winds and
colder tempera-
tures aloft.
Therefore, again
today, a steep
lapse rate in
temperatures
will serve up
more scattered
showers. More
showers will
form Wednesday
afternoon and
again on
Thursday. Much
warmer weather
will move in
over the week-
lend and next
week looks hot.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Low pressure in the northern Rockies will produce rain and mountain snow in
the Pacic Northwest today. A slow-moving cold front will bring thunderstorms to the Southeast.
Thunderstorms will also stretch west to the southern High Plains. Scattered showers will develop
under an upper-level low in the Northeast, with a few thunderstorms popping up in the Great Lakes.

Live!
You may pride yourself on being
one of those people who can
talk to absolutely anyone, but
how well do you actually com-
municate? Check out these
conversation traps you could be
stumbling into and how to
climb back out:
The trap: You ask pointed ques-
tions. Saying, Dont you think
going to France on our vacation
is a great idea? seems like a
harmless inquiry, and you may
actually think youre asking for
input. But what youre really
doing is making sure you hear
the answer you want, which isnt
helpful for anyone.
The fix: First, make sure that
when you ask a question, youre
genuinely looking for an answer
not just aiming to have your
own opinion validated, Benjamin
says. For real feedback, tweak
your question to something
more open-ended, like What do
you think about France for a
vacation spot? or, better yet,
Where would you like to go on
vacation?
The trap: You give the totally
wrong response. When a friend
comes to you complaining about
an issue shes having, you prob-
ably respond in one of two
knee-jerk ways: Saying Thats
not so bad, or trying to fix the
problem. Big mistake. When we
tell someone its not that bad,
were dismissing their concerns,
making them feel even worse,
Benjamin says. And proposing a
solution? Also wrong, since the
complaint is usually only the tip
of the iceberg, he says. For
example, bemoaning a commute
is likely more about wanting
some work flexibility than it is
about traffic meaning your
two cents about a better route
arent exactly helpful.
The fix: Validate her concern by
saying, I understand how you
would feel that way. Then ask
questions to help her solve her
own problem, such as asking
what she wants to change and
how she might go about it.

Q: I have an 18-year-
old son dealing with
depression. His doc-
tor recommends treat-
ing his depression
with the medication
Prozac. I remember
hearing about a warn-
ing that treating young people for
depression can actually increase their
risk of suicide. Hes never been suicid-
al, but do you think its safe for him to
start taking an antidepressant?
J.B., Atlanta
A: Yes, I do. The FDA in 2004 did
indeed place a black box warning on
antidepressants based on their analysis
of data from numerous clinical trials
conducted by drug companies focusing
on young people and adults. The FDA
determined that people younger than
25 had a higher risk of suicidality. The
FDA felt that in some younger patients,
antidepressants might induce suicidal
thoughts. But upon more recent analy-
sis of how they arrived at their conclu-
sion, it appears that it was a false
alarm.
After a decade-long decline, annual
suicide rates in American children and
adolescents increased in 2004 follow-
ing the helpful black box warning. A
2007 report published in the journal
Pediatrics found that there was an
immediate 20 percent reduction in the
number of prescriptions filled for anti-
depressants in young people and an 18
percent increase in the suicide rate
following the FDAs warning. The FDA
panels decision-making process has
been widely criticized. Not one child or
adolescent among the 4,400 cases
reviewed by the FDA actually commit-
ted suicide. Several subsequent studies
have failed to show a link between
antidepressants and suicide behavior in
young people.
Just like anyone treated for depres-
sion, your son requires close ongoing
counseling and care by his doctor.
Q: Five months ago, I was put on
Zyprexa for depression and anxiety.
While I seem to be feeling better, I am
very unhappy about gaining 32 pounds
and getting borderline diabetes. Why
did it cause so much weight gain and
raise my blood sugar? What can I do
about it?
F.R. Huntsville, Ala.
A: Its true that Zyprexa, Seroquel
and several other atypical antidepres-
sant drugs can cause significant weight
gain and increase the risk of developing
diabetes. Research evidence shows that
Zyprexa affects the metabolism to
encourage weight gain. For one, it
disturbs the metabolism so that the
body preferentially uses fat for caloric
energy instead of carbohydrates. This
leads to increased carbohydrate storage
and the condition of insulin resistance
which can result in adult-onset dia-
betes. Zyprexa also slows down the
normal breakdown of fat. Weight gain
leads to a tendency to be less active,
and that begins the vicious cycle of
weight gain, increased food intake and
a couch-potato lifestyle.

How to cook bulgur
Bulgur, a form of whole wheat that is the main
ingredient in Middle Eastern tabbouleh, is easy
to prepare because its kernels have been already
been boiled, dried and cracked.
Healthy Living
Bulgur comes in a variety of sizes
from fine to coarse; the finer the grain,
the less cooking time is needed
The usual ratio of bulgur to cooking
liquid (water or stock) is 1 to 2
Bring the liquid to a boil, then add
the bulgur, stir and cover; cook for
about 20 minutes or until the bulgur is
plump like rice, but not mushy
Drain and serve
A 1.5 oz. (40 g) serving of bulgur has
about 140 calories, 5 grams of fiber

OS ANGELES - Barbara Britt has a song in her head, a campfire tune that she learned
years ago.Ima little piece of tin. Its silliness, she knew, would keep her upbeat
for the appointment she had with James Lee, the 12-year-old with a tumor in his brain
stem. Nobody knows where I have been.
James was one of nearly a dozen
patients scheduled for a recent clin-
ic, andBritt, anursecaremanager at
Childrens Hospital Los Angeles,
has found that songs keep her from
becoming overwhelmedby the lives
of her patients andtheir families. Its
a strategy shes learned from 40
years in the company of children
with brain and blood cancers.
Five months ago, James, a shy
sixth-grader with a book always in
hand, hadcome to the hospital com-
plaining of headaches, and today, af-
ter six weeks of radiation, he was
about to begin chemotherapy.
They sat in a narrow exam room
with James stepmother, Suk Young
Kim, who understands a little En-
glish, and as they waited for the Ko-
rean interpreter, Britt began to ex-
plain the dosages and the side ef-
fects of three medications. Kim
spoke to her son.
She wants to know why youre
telling me this, James said, relay-
ing the question.
Because you get to be a help to
her, Britt said. Youre old enough
that you need to know whats going
on with you. Right?
James put down the novel he was
reading, So Totally Emily Ebers,
and Britt explained the side effects
of the drugs.
But what else do they do? he
asked.
Well, all together these three
medicines help your tumor no long-
er grow.
Isnt it also to make it disap-
pear?
Britt had to be honest. We arent

improves concentration by
triggering an increase in
blood flow through the
brain, said lead author Mi-
chail Kozlov of Cardiff Uni-
versity. But his team found
that an oral activity such as
gum chewing can interfere
with the process thats nor-
mally used to remember ver-
bal content.
The researchers from Car-
diff University used classic
short-term memory challeng-
es, with and without gum. In
one test, the volunteers were
told to chew vigorously and
asked to remember a se-
quence of randomly ordered
letters, such as P, V, B, C, D,
G, T. Another group repeat-
ed the experiment, but
chewed naturally.
In the second test, stu-
dents chewed the flavorless
gum and tried to pick up the
missing item in the se-
quence. For example, 7 is
missing from this list of di-
gits ranging 1 through 9:
28149365.
It didnt matter whether
the volunteers chewed vigor-
ously or naturally. In both
cases, chewing has an over-
all adverse affect on serial re-
call, researchers wrote.
Flavor, however, is still a
wild card; its what may con-
tribute to the benefits of
gum chewing. In a 2002
study, the first to investigate
the effects of gum chewing
on short-term memory, the
participants chewed mint-fla-
vored gum and performed
better on short-term word
and memory tasks than those
who did not chew gum.
But because chewing gum
loses its flavor in several
minutes and unflavored
gum is generally unpalatable
it seems advisable that
chewing gum is only consid-
ered a performance enhancer
as long as its flavor lasts,
the researchers noted. Or as
long as you have money to
buy more gum.
GUM
Continued from Page 1C
A new British study
suggests that chewing
flavorless gum can in-
terfere with short-term
memory. sure if we can make it go away.
That would be really good if
you could.
Yes, Britt thought, but the tu-
mor is incurableandheneededto
know that. For many children,
treating a brain tumor means ar-
resting its growth and teaching
them how to live with it for the
rest of their lives.
You know how well you feel
now? she asked.
I feel prettygood, James said,
sounding tentative.
So it wouldnt matter if that
tumor stayed the same size forev-
er, she said. That would be
good, wouldnt it? Because you
feel good now.
A knock on the door interrupt-
edthem. The interpreter stepped
in, and James went back to his
book.
Britt repeated the instructions
for the boys medications
three to be taken at night, one in
the morning and one an hour be-
fore all the others to Kim, who
was eventually overwhelmed.
Why is she crying? James
asked, looking over the top of his
pages.
Because this is a lot to take
in, Britt said, and this is what
adults do when they love some-
one.
The clinic on Wednesdays is
Britts chance to escape the on-
slaught of daily emails and spend
time with her patients.
Dropping into one exam room
after the next, she got a hug from
Maddison Franks, a high school
senior in for a new round of che-
motherapy. She sawhow12-year-
old Jordan Johnson, sporting a
black fedora, was tolerating his
radiation, andshe caught up with
Tom Plunkett and 5-year-old Lu-
na, whose recent scans showed
no recurrence of her tumor.
As a member of the hospitals
neural oncology team com-
prised of doctors, nurses, social
workers, psychologists and re-
searchers Britt, 62, coordi-
nates various facets of care, over-
seeing the medical, social and
psychological effects of both the
illness and treatment.
JonathanFinlay, director of the
neural oncology program, has
worked with Britt for nine years.
Her skill at reading families
reading their emotions, where
they need support and knowing
when it is time just to listen
those are facets of her character
that make her unique in this ef-
fort, he said.
In meetings between patients
and doctors, Britt often asks
questions, simplifies medical
terms and interprets recommen-
dations. She understands how
frightened most parents are
when they first encounter diseas-
es with names as intimidating as
medulablastoma, astrocytoma,
oligodendrogliomas.
Theyare immobilizedas if the
floor had been ripped out from
under them, she said. My job is
to helpthemrealize that the floor
is still there.
The challenge is to strike a bal-
ance between the discomfort of
treatment and the preservation
of daily routines. For Britt, the
names of the tumors, even the
symptoms, matter less than the
fact that the disease changes a
childs life forever. In her mind,
what best defines a braintumor is
whether it leaves room for hope
or not.
A doctor treats disease, and a
nurse treats patients. Barbara
treats families, said Mark Max-
well-Smith, a 65-year-old televi-
sion producer who for almost 15
years has joined Britt at a sum-
mer camp for children with can-
cer.
When she started a 1971
graduate of Cal State L.A. whose
first job was at L.A. County/USC
Medical Center nearly all her
patients died, and as upsetting as
it was, she learned that in order
to do her job, she had to keep an
emotional distance. Today the
outcomes for children with brain
tumors are better, but thats little
solace.
The bad can be so bad that
they count for more, she said.
A Presbyterian, Britt believes
in a God who is good but not om-
nipotent. Yet sheknows that faith
offers little comfort for parents
who leave the hospital without
their child. Often on her hour-
long commute home, the songs
that she sings to herself are requi-
ems.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am a
17-year-old girl and
have just gotten out
of a seven-month
relationship. I was a
virgin until this re-
lationship. I told my
boyfriend, Gavin,
that I was a virgin and wanted to
wait until I trusted him and felt that I
loved him.
Well, the time came that I felt I
did love and trust him, so I went
ahead and had sex with him. After
one month, Gavin decided he was
sick of me! It seems like as soon as
we started having sex, things started
going downhill. I feel so hurt and
used, Im now starting to view sex
negatively.
I know Im young and have years
of relationships in front of me.
But are all men just out there for
sex? If they are, it just doesnt seem
worth it.
Hurt and Confused
Dear Hurt and Confused: You have
my sympathy. It appears that Gavin
was more interested in the challenge
you presented than in a lasting rela-
tionship. Not all men are that way,
but most in your age group are be-
cause they are not yet emotionally or
financially ready for a marriage com-
mitment. Remember that, and you
may avoid future heartache.
Dear Abby: I am 23, happily
married and have two children. My
question involves my 4-year-old,
Shelly, who is the result of a previ-
ous relationship. Her biological
father left me after he found out
I was pregnant. When I was almost
ready to deliver, he called and
asked me to come back to him,
which I did, only to get dumped
again one week before Shellys
birth.
Since then, I have married a
wonderful man I met days before
Shelly was born. He has adopted
her, and he is the only daddy she
has ever known.
My question is: When would be
the best age for me to tell her about
this?
Clueless in Michigan
Dear Clueless: Your daughter should
be told as soon as shes old enough
to understand the difference between
biological father and adoptive
father. And when you do, tell her that
her daddy fell in love with you both
at the same time.
Dear Abby: My husband and I have
been married for one week. We have
been together for three years. The
problem is his last girlfriend. She was
married three years ago, but will not
leave him alone.
It never fails that when we are out,
and she and her husband are at the
same place, she confronts my hus-
band about how sorry she is for the
past and wants him to take her back.
He tells her it is over. Her husband
knows that she does not love him but
loves my husband.
I am so tired of this, Abby. What
do I need to do the next time this
happens? Do I call her and tell her to
leave him alone?
Steaming in Garden City, Kan.
Dear Steaming: Do not call her.
The next time it happens, your HUS-
BAND should tell her he is not inter-
ested, that he is happily married now,
and that she is making herself and
her husband look ridiculous.

To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youll
have a flash of insight, an ideal
picture of where you want to go.
Because of this vision, you are
the perfect one to lead a group
of people with similar goals and
interests.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
details will be the difference
between falling on your face and
winning the race. In other words,
before you rush forward, make
sure your shoes are tied.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What
moment of your life would you
relive a thousand times if you
could? Identifying the factors
that added up to this special
time will help you create sce-
narios that offer the same kind
of charge.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). People
say just kidding, and what they
mean is this is true, at least in
part. Youre usually attuned to
the message behind the mes-
sage, and now youre even more
aware of what people really
mean.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Unfortunately, you cant become
the person you want to be by
continuing to do what youve
been doing. You may not be
ready to make adjustments just
yet, but you will be in the mood
to mull over your options.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A per-
plexing issue gives you a chance
to practice what youve learned.
Youve addressed situations like
this before.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Each
day gives you 24 hours to live
fully. How many moments is
that? Some will go through
the entire day zombie-like, not
creating or being present to a
single moment. Youll try to do
the opposite.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
believe its your role and respon-
sibility to help everyone else
have a good time, and youll do
an excellent job. You may sac-
rifice your own satisfaction and
fun in the process, but youll get
your turn soon.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll hear about a quick
fix, but its actually a lie in
both the quick and the fix
departments.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The
plan is doable, and its going to
be successful. Someone who
keeps telling you that will be crit-
ical to the results. Attract more
team members.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
manage your life in the practical
way you might manage a busi-
ness. Outline the best outcome
you could hope for and the most
critical steps you could take to
achieve it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
will prove your skill in the art of
reconciliation. You know how to
fight, too, but your sincere want
of a peaceful solution keeps you
striving for a gentle outcome.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (June 5).
Making people laugh will be a
priority, and youll love the way
people light up around you.
This month someone will right a
past wrong, and you finally will
receive what you deserve from
the situation. July brings chanc-
es to mingle. August is most
romantic. Scorpio and Aquarius
people adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 7, 2, 39, 49 and 14.

do so, nor does it represent that it will do
so. The Owner also reserves the right to

A Bid Bond made payable to the Shamokin
