WILKES-BARRE As the

Chicago andits mayor, Rahm

Chicago Parking Meters LLC
(CPM) says it is owed for rev-
enue lost when streets are shut
down and parking

Accordingtoa sto-
ry that ran on the
front page of the Chi-

manding an additional $14 mil-
lion they say theyre owed un-
der obscure provisions of the
wildly unpopular 2008 deal
that privatized metered park-

cords show.
The city adminis-

arbitration over a
$13.5 million claim
over free parking
that CPM says it
provided to people displaying
disabled-parking placards or li-
cense plates in 2010, the Sun-

disputes the claim, sayingCPM

it is not entitled.

WILKES-BARRE Six months
ago, Joseph Reisers grades were
suffering and he was struggling
in school.
Now, after participating in the
Learning Works program, his
grades have dramatically im-
proved, he has his sights set on
following a road map that will
lead him to college and he is
thinking more positively.

students chosen to participate in
a federally funded after-school

PITTSTON -- Residents of In-
fantino Towers voiced concerns
about the security and mainte-
nance of that facility at Mondays
nights work session of the Pitt-
ston Housing Authority.
If we had one major com-
plaint, it would be the authority
disrespects us and does not fully
hear our concerns, said Winnie
Williams, who lives on the fifth
floor of the towers.
Williams told the authority
her power goes off several times
during the course of the day,
making it necessary to move
around in the shadows until she
is able to reset the electricity.
Joe Scrobola, head of mainte-
nance, advised Williams to limit
the number of appliances that
she uses at one time to avoid
overloading the circuit breaker.
Williams also was concerned
about the general cleaning and
maintenance of the building, es-
pecially the hallways and eleva-
tors.
Resident Mary Shields said
that during a recent fire drill, dis-
abled residents were told to stay
in their apartments with the
doors closed to await escort out
of the building. However, those
residents did not receive assist-
ance during the drill and did not
exit the building.
Bill Lisak, executive director
of the authority, said the author-
itywouldworkwiththe citys fire
chief to clarify fire drill proce-
dures to ensure the safety of resi-
dents in the event of a fire.
Asked about the safety of the
building, Lisak said the cameras
that were recently installed
would soon be fully functional
and would provide a great mea-
sure of security for both Infanti-
no Towers and the nearby Apollo
Apartments, both of which
house disabled and elderly per-
sons.
Lisak also said the authority
worked closely with the city po-
lice department and the police
had complete access to the cam-
eras and camera footage at all
times.
Our concern is eliminating
crime in our facilities and insur-
ingthesecurityof our residents,
said Lisak, noting that he wel-
comes input from the residents
at any time.
Residents, however, continue
to feel neglected.
Our greatest concern is for
residents over 80 or 90 years old
who may not feel free to speak
for themselves, said resident
Ray Morgan. We want to be
their voice.

WHATS NEXT
SCRANTON Afederal magis-
trate judge has recommended the
dismissal of the remaining counts
in a lawsuit filed by a couple who
challengedthe sale of the OldRiv-
er Road bakery.
Tyler and Antonia Hammond
filed suit against the city in 2009,
alleging city officials thwarted
their efforts tobuythe abandoned
bakery so that it could be pur-
chased by Leo Glodzik, whom
theyclaimedwasacronyof Mayor
TomLeighton.
The city initially plannedtosell
the property to Glodzik, but the
deal was later terminated. The
property was purchased in March
by Bruce Lefkowitz, who plans to
relocate the Harrolds Pharmacy
on the site.
U.S. District Judge A. Richard
Caputo dismissed the bulk of the
claims in the Hammonds lawsuit
March 2011. He permitted the
Hammonds to file an amended
complaint relating to allegations
the city permitted Glodzik to in-
stall a fence on the property,
which encroached upon and de-
stroyed shrubbery on their prop-
erty that is adjacent to the bakery
property.
The Hammonds alleged the
citys actions violatedtheir consti-
tutional rights, including their
right todueprocess. Thecityfiled
a motion seeking to dismiss the
complaint on several grounds, in-
cluding allegations the Ham-
monds had failed to avail them-
selves to other legal remedies in
state court.
U.S. District Magistrate Judge
Mildred Methvin was assigned to
reviewthe case. MethvinonMon-
day recommended the due-proc-
ess claim dismissed because, un-
der federal law, a plaintiff cannot
claim a due-process violation if
there is some other legal avenue
available to them.
Methvin said the Hammonds
couldseekdamages for the loss of
their property under a state law
claim, therefore the federal claim
should be dismissed.
She also recommended several
other counts in the complaint be
dismissed. Afederal judge will re-
viewMethvinsrecommendations
and issue a ruling at a later date.

NUANGOLA The sewer au-
thority decided to wait until its
June 25 meeting to officially
name the low bidders for its
proposed sanitary system pro-
ject.
At Monday nights meeting,
Rich Kresge, project engineer
for the Quad3 Group, an-
nounced that Wexcon Inc. of
Mohresville, Pa., and Doli Con-
struction of Chalfont, Pa., have
been deemed as the responsib-
le low bidders.
Wexcon bid $4,464,275 for
Contract 1of the project that in-
cludes excavation and the in-
stallation of piping and grinder
pumps in Nuangola Borough.
Dolis bid of $1,137,841 is for
Contract 2, which according to
Kresge involves the installation
of piping outside the boroughto
the Mountain Top Area Joint
Sewer Authority treatment
plant in Dorrance Township.
It was also noted by Kresge
that these two bid packages
contain no provision for blast-
ing. In other words, he said,
blasting, which had been a con-
troversial subject at previous
discussions, has been deemed
by the contractors as being un-
necessary.
Kresge said that if the author-
ity wished, it could award the
bids immediately. But after he
said there remains a need to get
all the funding and permits in
place, Authority Chairman Da-
vid Pekar reiterated the author-
itys stance to wait until the
June 25 meeting to make it offi-
cial.
In addition, Kresge said there
is a needto advertise for bids for
grinder pumps. Pekar and the
authority approved a resolution
whereby bids will be sought un-
til June 11 at 6 p.m. for the
awarding of a procurement con-
tract for 415 grinder pumps.
Overall, Kresge said, the
timeline to initiate the project
has been extended to Aug. 15.
The authority also approved
an extension agreement with
Citizens Bank on a loan ob-
tained in 2008 and upon which
borough council has been mak-
ing interest payments. As it
stands now, Pekar saidthere is a
principal balance of $309,662
plus $2,670 in interest that un-
der the terms of the extension
matures on Aug. 5, 2012
Pekar reminded borough resi-
dents that because the U.S. De-
partment of Agriculture has
limited available funds, the bor-
ough must act quickly if it
wants to get a federal grant or a
low-interest loan to pay for con-
nection costs.

Councilman Edward Bro-

should be limited to those
specified in the home rule

Councilman Jim Bobeck
agreed, saying the charter fo-

WILKES-BARRE Students
across the state face a final deadline
this week for getting newly mandat-
ed vaccinations for many districts
the deadline was Monday.
Districts, inturn, faceadecisionon
whether to exclude from school
those who do not get the vaccines.
And if they do stop students from at-
tending class so late in the school
year, what are the consequences?
Thats my biggest concern,
Wilkes-Bare Area School District Su-
perintendent Jeff Namey said, noting
thedistrict will likelydecidetodayon
whether to exclude children who did
not get required vaccines.
What about the kids? Its not their
fault theparents havent takentheini-
tiative to get themimmunized. Were
going to be punishing them.
Theconundrumcomes courtesyof
extensive newstate requirements an-
nounced last August and initially in-
tended to take effect earlier this
month. The rules require more vacci-
nations for more childrenbefore they
canattendschool. The move brought
Pennsylvania in line with recommen-
dations from
the U.S. Cen-
ters for Disease
Control and
Prevention.
The dead-
linetomeet the
new rules had
been extended
by two weeks,
but that exten-
sion runs out
this week. The
exact day de-
pends on when
a district began
theschool year,
but for many local districts, it was
Monday.
Wilkes-Barre Area had fewer than
300 students still without proper vac-
cinations on Monday, the deadline
there, Namey said, but a lot of them
may have arranged for the needed
shots in the next month.
We have appointments with the
(Wilkes-Barre city) health depart-
ment through June 6, Namey said.
So the district might opt to let stu-
dents attend school as long as they
arescheduledtoget thevaccinations.
Thats the approach taken by Ha-
zleton Area School District where
Sunday night was the official dead-
line. Nursing Chairwoman Ellen
McBride said the district had man-
aged to shrink the number of stu-
dents not in compliance from 2,635
several monthsagotoeight whowere
excluded fromclass Monday. But the
district was flexible indefiningcom-
pliance.
Somedoctors wererunningout of

LEHMAN TWP. -- The Lake-Lehman
School Board will remain in the North-
eastern Pennsylvania School Health
Trust, but the district voted Monday
evening toseek healthcare benefits else-
where.
Solicitor John Audi said the district
will stay in the health trust this year, uti-
lizing the organizations dental and vi-
sion insurance, which is within its
rights. The health trust is a consortium
of school districts that use power in
numbers to collectively purchase insur-
ance.
The board also voted to submit a let-
ter of intent to withdrawfromthe health
trust by June 30, 2013. Superintendent
James McGovern told residents at a
town hall meeting earlier this month
that he asked the heath trust to change
its bylaws that require at least a years
notice for withdrawal fromthe organiza-
tion, but the motion was voted down.
The board approved its proposed final
budget at the meeting, which revealed a
$1.8 million shortfall. Business Manager
Tom Melone said the districts fund bal-
ance, akintoa savings account, will total
about $2 million at the end of this year,
which will help keep the district afloat
for the 2012-13 school year.
The budget, which features $25.7 mil-
lion in revenues and $27.5 in expendi-
tures, will include a 4.26 percent in-
crease in property taxes for Luzerne
County residents, which will result in an
additional $53 for an assessed property
value of $140,000.
Those living in Wyoming County will
actually see a reduction in property tax-
es due to budget rebalancing.
The board voted to terminate its lease
withWeeCareFoundationandadvertise
for bids for day care facility construction
proposals. Board President Mark Kor-
noski said the board wants to determine
whether the project would be a feasible
revenue source for the district.
Board member David Paulauskas told
the audience the teachers union was not
supportive of the health care changes
prior to the meeting.
Heather Wertman, president of the
Lake-Lehman Education Association,
said the union was willing to discuss
cost-saving measures with administra-
tion, but healthcare must be negotiated.
Audi said there has been negotiation
on finding comparable health care ser-
vices for district employees.
Also, Nancy Kohl, regional vice presi-
dent of The Nutrition Group, told board
members about upcoming changes to
the school lunch program mandated by
the federal government. They include

But School Board votes to seek
health care benefits elsewhere and

DALLAS TWP. The Dallas School
Board on Monday night unanimously
approved a $32.9 million budget for the
2012-2013 school year that includes an
increase in property taxes.
The approved budget for the 2012-
2013school year totals $32,928,593. The
spending plan does increase the millage
rate onproperty from11.5824 to11.8052.
A mill is $1 tax for every $1,000 in as-
sessed property tax value.
The proposed final budget was
brought out earlier this month and in-
cluded a 2.1 percent tax increase along
with about $1.3 million in cuts through-
out the district.
It was said then the average taxpayer
currently paying about $1,789.88 an-
nually would see an increase of $37.59.
The budget also includes a per capita
tax of $10 and an earned income tax of 1
percent that will be shared 50/50 with
the districts municipalities.
Also, the budget contains a $52 emer-
gency municipal services tax, broken
down to $5 for the district and $47 for
municipalities that have enactedthe tax.
Thebudget will beavailablefor review
in the districts administrative building.
With purse strings tight, Jeffery Shaff-
er, senior high school principal, said arts
and music programs are planned to be
carried through into the new school
year, andenrollment inthe programs are
strong.
In another matter, the school board
voted to retain Benjamin R. Jones III as
solicitor at the rate of $130 per hour. Me-
lissa Cencetti was approved as a con-
tracted physical therapist for two days a
week at a pay of $55 per hour.
In other business, the board honored
the LifeSmarts Teamfor placing third in
a national competition in April in Phila-
delphia. The National LifeSmarts Cham-
pionship focuses on testing students
knowledge of finances, health, technol-
ogy and the environment.
Decklan Cerza, team captain; Amber
Habib, Sara Hudak, Gates Palissery, and
Samuel Reinert all received a certificate

bill, along with the reasons.
If the county manager deter-
mines a controller-rejected
payment should be made, the
manager must notify the con-
troller and county council in
writing within five days, the
proposed code says.
Before home rule took effect
in January, bills had to go
through the controller before
payment was issued.
Griffith said before the
meeting he supported Law-
tons version, though he be-
lieves the word recommend
should replace approve
when it comes to the controll-
ers power over payment re-
quests. Griffith said its clear
the manager has final say over
bill payment.
The controller said Lawton
and the administration cant
look at everything, and he be-
lieves taxpayers want the
elected controller to point out
potential problems before pay-
ments are issued.
Its a check and balance for
the taxpayers. The manager
wants the controller to look at
bills before the money is re-
leased. Thats a good thing,
Griffith said.
Griffith said he never stop-
ped examining payment re-
quests after home rule took ef-
fect, and he recently found a
payment request for the wrong
vendor and a reimbursement
for unused sick and vacation
time to a terminated security
employee in violation of proto-
col.
Focusing on payment re-
quests wont slow the comple-
tion of audits, Griffith said, be-
cause he oversees the office
and relies on staff or outside
contractors to complete audi-
ts.

have an extension. McBride pre-
dicted that all would be vaccinat-
ed by the end of the year. If we
got those 2,600, well get these.
Pittston Area Assistant Super-
intendent JohnLussi saidthe dis-
trict had started out with more
than 1,000 students out of com-
pliance, and expected to have it
down to 200 or so by the end of
Monday.
We talked to people from the
state and they are telling us un-
less someone has a religious or
strong moral exception, or has
made an appointment for vacci-
nation, that we are to exclude
them, Lussi said. Were hoping
that tomorrow a lot of them will
show up with appointments.
Exclusion next year
Greater Nanticoke Area decid-
ed not to enforce exclusion until
next school year, Superintendent
Tony Perrone said.
We only have about 100 kids
whodont havethemall, andonly
two families that are giving us
problems, Perrone said. The
plan is to work with those fam-
ilies to get their shots, and were
going to allowkids to come until
the end of the year.
Wyoming Valley West is taking
a similar approach. The deadline
is today.
There are only 19 school days
left, Superintendent ChuckSup-
pon said. There are only 25 stu-
dents at the elementary level
without needed vaccinations.
The district will call parents and
press them to get children vacci-
nated, stressing under no cir-
cumstances will they get tobegin
school next year unless they fol-
low the rules.
Supponalsosaidschool nurses
had worked aggressively to meet
the original deadline, and that
some were frustrated when the
state gave a two week extension.
They felt the integrity of the
whole effort was jeopardized.
Dallas Superintendent Frank
Galicki, Crestwood Superintend-
ent Dave McLaughlin-Smith, and
Wyoming Area Superintendent
Ray Bernardi all said their dis-
tricts will exclude students who
do not have proper vaccinations,
though the numbers were gener-
ally small: two students at Crest-
wood, one at Dallas, and30at the
secondary center and 17 in ele-
mentary schools at Wyoming Ar-
ea.
Enforce the law
Still, Bernardi said it was time
to show the law had to be fol-
lowed. Parents had eight months
to meet the requirement, then
were given two more weeks.
We called these parents mul-
tiple times, Bernardi said, not-
ing the deadline was Monday
night, and that another round of
calls was planned that night.
Some students had the vaccina-
tions but some parents didnt
share that information with us.

Gov. proposes tax hikes
California Gov. Jerry Brown pro-
posed more than $8 billion in cuts
Monday to close a widening state bud-
get deficit that he blamed partly on a
slower-than-expected economic recov-
ery.
In addition to making cuts to a wide
array of state services, Brown wants
state workers to take a 5 percent pay
cut, which would save $402 million in
the coming fiscal year. The amount
equals less than one-half of 1 percent of
the states general fund.
Brown also used the announcement
of his revised budget plan to make
another pitch for his tax-hike initiative
that he said would send more money to
public schools if voters approve it in
November.
Brown said the sagging economic
recovery and court judgments that
prevented him from making cuts to
programs such as MediCal and In-
Home Supportive Services led to the
widening budget gap.

At least five people have been killed
and 100 wounded in Lebanons second-

Residents say differences over Syria are
at the root of the fighting, which pits
neighbor against neighbor and raises
fears of broader unrest that could draw

ATHENS, Greece Fierce po-
litical rivalries kept Greece from
resolving its leadership crisis as
an anti-bailout party refused
Monday to return to power-shar-
ing talks.
For the ninth straight day,
Greek party leaders were strug-
gling to forma newcoalition gov-
ernment, riven by differences
over the harsh austerity mea-
sures demanded by international
creditors in return for rescue
loans. The impasse means the
debt-stricken country is facing
the prospect of another national
election next month after hold-
ing an inconclusive ballot May 6.
Talks led by President Karolos
Papoulias failed Sunday to break
the impasse.
The turmoil in the small euro-
zone nation took a toll on mar-
kets across Europe, with shares
on the Athens Stock Exchange
down 4.4 percent at 584.29 in af-
ternoon trading.
The conservative NewDemoc-
racy party won the May 6 elec-
tion, but the poll failed to pro-
duce an outright winner. But
Alexis Tsipras, leader of the sec-
ond-placed, left-wing Syriza par-
ty, has refused to join a coalition,
demanding that the terms of an
international bailout be scrapped
or radically renegotiated.
They are looking for an ac-
complice to continue their cata-
strophic work we will not help
them, Syriza spokesman Panos
Skourletis told Mega television.
Many see fresh elections as in-
evitable. But a newpoll could see
anti-austerity parties gaining
more support andprompt a rift in
the 17-nation eurozone and raise
the risk of a Greek exit from the
shared currency.
Shut out of main debt markets,
Greece is surviving on rescue
loans from other euro countries
and the International Monetary
Fund, who have repeatedly
warned that payments will only
continue if the country continues
its draconian cost-cutting pro-

MONTERREY, Mexico Authorities
struggled Monday to identify the 49 people
found mutilated and scattered in a pool of
blood in a region near the U.S .border in the
presumed fight between Mexicos two dom-
inant drug cartels to outdo each other in
bloodshed and expand their territory and
smuggling routes.
More than24hours after the gruesome dis-
covery, officials had yet to identify any of the
corpses, found without heads, hands or feet.
So far, no sign of gunshots had been found on
any of the bodies, Nuevo Leon state security
spokesman Jorge Domene told Milenio tele-
vision.
There were no reports of mass disappear-
ances inthe area andonly one couple hadvis-
ited the morgue in the city of Monterrey
where the bodies were taken. None of the six
female bodies matched their missing daugh-
ter.
The 43 men and six women found Sunday
were dumped at the entrance to the town of
San Juan in the municipality of Cadereyta on
a highway that connects the industrial city of
Monterrey with Reynosa, across from McAl-
len, Texas. The area is contested by the Sina-
loa Cartel, headed by fugitive drug lord Joa-
quinEl Chapo Guzman, andthe Zetas, who
authorities said were responsible for Sun-
days attack.
Thoughits not clear whothevictims are, it
was the fourth cartel massacre in the last
month in an escalating tit-for-tat that seems
to involve at least some innocents. The Zetas
and the Sinaloa Cartel have emerged as the
two main forces in Mexican drug-trafficking
and other organized crime in the last year,
with smaller gangs lining up on either side in
a competition that nowresembles a full-scale
war.

is givingbirthtosomeof themost
popular baby names. No, not
Snooki. But Mason, as in Kourt-
ney Kardashians son, jumped 10
spots to become the second most
popular name for newborn boys
in 2011.
The more traditional Sophia is
the new top name for girls, while
Jacob is No. 1for boys for the13th
straight year, according to the list
released Monday by the Social
Security Administration.
Kardashian, the reality TVstar,
gave birth to Mason in December
2009 following a heavily publi-
cized pregnancy. In 2010, Mason
jumped from No. 34 to No. 12.
Last year, 19,393 baby boys were
named Mason, an increase of
nearly 4,600, by far the biggest
jump for any name.
It shows what were paying at-
tention to, what were thinking
about, said Laura Wattenberg,
creator of the website babyname-
wizard.com. Today, you cant
walk through a supermarket
without learning more than you
hoped to know about the Kar-
dashian family. Thats just real-
ity.
Rounding out the top five for
boys: William, Jayden and Noah.
Michael came in sixth, the lowest
ranking since 1948.
Isabella, which had been the
top girls name for two years,
dropped to second place in 2011.
Emma, Olivia and Ava rounded
out the top five.
The Social Security Adminis-
tration provides lists of baby
names dating to 1880 on its web-
site. The top two names that year
were John and Mary. John is now
No. 27 and Mary has fallen to No.
112 the lowest for both names.
The agency hopes that people
go to the website to see the baby
names and stay to learn about
other services, said Social Securi-
ty Commissioner Michael J. As-

Court will provide a much-need-
ed revenue source for non-profit
legal organizations that repre-
sent indigent defendants in civil
matters, the Supreme Court re-
cently announced.
The fund, which will be admin-
istered by the Interest on Law-
yers Trust Account Board, is be-
ing established with the hope it
will increase access to the civil
courts for low- and moderate-in-
come residents, Chief Justice Ro-
nald Castille said in a press re-
lease.
The legal needs of many
Pennsylvanians have risen with
the level of uncertainty in the na-
tions economy, Castille said.
But many legal-aid organiza-
tions can only do so much. These
new rules will provide underly-
ing support for a new revenue
stream.
Locally, North Penn Legal Ser-
vices is amongthe groups expect-
ed to benefit from the fund.
The organization, which has
offices statewide including
Wilkes-Barre and Scranton, pro-
vides representation to low-in-
come people in a variety of civil
matters, including landlord-ten-
ant disputes, mortgage foreclo-
sures and Social Security disabil-
ityclaims, saidVictoria Coyle, ex-
ecutive director.
Coyle saidthe organizationhas
suffered significant funding cuts
over the past few years that have
made it increasingly difficult to
provide services to all those in
need.
Imtrying to close a $1million
deficit for next fiscal year, she
said.
Revenue for the special fund
will come frommoney that is left
over from class-action lawsuits
once all plaintiffs, attorneys and
fees have been paid.
Class-action suits typically in-
volve hundreds to thousands of
people who bring a claimagainst
a party based on similar injury
they are alleged to have suffered.
Settlements in such cases can be
in the millions of dollars, but
money is often left over because
some of the affected plaintiffs
cannot be located or identified.
The disbursement of the left-
over funds has always been up to
the discretion of the judge who
presided over the case. A new
rule instituted by the Supreme
Court directs that 50 percent of
the funds be designated to the
Lawyers Trust Account Board.
Al Azen, executive director of
the Pennsylvania Lawyers Trust
Account, said its not known yet
howmuchmoney might be made
available. That will be dependent
uponhowmanyclass-actionsuits
are settled in the state. The Su-
preme Court rule applies only to
class action suits filed in state
courts, not federal court.
AzensaidWashingtonstate set
up a similar fund in 2008. It had
brought in a total of $1.4 million
as of April of 2010. That fund has
an advantage over Pennsylvania
as it also includes settlements in
federal class action suits, he said.
Coyle said the Supreme
Courts establishment of the fund
is a positive step, regardless of
how much revenue is generated,
They recognize the need to
find creative ways to fund the
work we do. Whether its $500 or
$50,000, it will help restore some
of the losses we sustained, Coyle
said.

WILKES-BARRE City police
officer Kenneth Jones testified
Monday he was responding to a
shooting on Sterling Street when
he spotted a white van with lad-
der racks passing him on nearby
Academy Street on Dec. 16.
Jones saidthe vanmatchedthe
description of the get-away vehi-
cle from the shooting. He turned
around and conducted a traffic
stop near South Franklin Street,
where he said Stanley Davis, 46,
got out andplacedhis arms inthe
air.
Jones said after handcuffing
Davis, he saw a pistol-grip shot-
gun in plain view inside the
van.
Attorney William Ruzzo is at-
tempting to prohibit prosecutors
from using the gun at Davis up-
coming homicide trial.
Police allege Davis picked up
the modified shotgun and shot
his girlfriend, Carlotta Springer-
Howard, in front of her 18-year-
old son Fred Lassiter inside their
Sterling Street apartment. Her
two younger children also were
in the apartment.
Ruzzo claims the shotgun was
illegallyfoundbecausetheofficer
was not in a position to see it in-
side the van.
Jones testified he looked in the
van to see if there were more peo-
ple inside and found the shotgun
near the drivers seat. He said he
used a flashlight to conduct a
sweep search of the vans interi-
or.
It was a pistol-grip shotgun
right out intheopen, Jones testi-
fied. The weaponwas securedin
the trunk of my patrol vehicle.
Luzerne County Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Jarrett Ferentino
said the weapon Jones found in-
side the van was the gun used in
the homicide. He said Jones
search of the van was legal, de-
spite not having a search warrant
that was later obtained for the ve-
hicle by investigators.
Davis trial on charges of crimi-
nal homicide and illegal posses-
sion of a firearm is scheduled to
begin June 11.
Luzerne County Judge Fred
Pierantoni denied a request by
Ruzzo to continue the trial until
June 25 to allow Davis family
from Virginia to attend the pro-
ceeding. The judge is expectedto
rule onthe gunevidence at a later
date.

WYOMING -- Borough
council agreed to excuse
all tax- exempt entities
within the borough from

FIRE SCORCHES PORCH
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
F
irefighters quickly extinguished a blaze on the rear
porch at 27 W. Union St., Nanticoke, just after noon
Monday. The fire caused minor damage to the exterior and
burned a chair on the porch. The inside sustained smoke
and water damage, including the other half of the double
block at 29 W. Union St. Fire Chief Michael Bohan said no
one was home at the time of the blaze. No injuries were
reported. A state police deputy fire marshal will be called
to investigate the cause of the blaze. Luzerne County
property records list Dennis Nealon as the owner of 27 W.
Union St.
WRIGHT TWP. -- Supervisors
plannedfor theannual July4fire-
works display, but there was con-
cern about raising sufficient
funds at Monday nights meet-
ing.
Supervisor Jerry Uram said
that, so far, the township has
raised $2,045 toward the yearly
event, but it still needs an addi-
tional $3,455 to pay ZY Pyro-
technics of Wapwallopen, who
Uram said offered to donate
$500 worth of fireworks.
Uram presented three bids,
the highest being Zambelli Fire-
works of New Castle, Pa., at
$9,000, Northeast Fireworks
around $7,000 and ZY Pyrotech-
nics at $5,500. The board voted
unanimously for ZY.
Still, Uramsaidwhether or not
the event happens depends on
their reaching fundraising goals.
During their work session, the
supervisors discussed a new or-
dinance that would assign com-
puter passwords for each town-
ship employee. The ordinance
would also adequately define
permissible Web browsing for
township computers.
He said they could not enact
an ordinance that spanned all
township departments without
police agreement and because of
that he would not offer a time-
line. He said no one was in a hur-
ry to finalize the ordinance.
Welebob saidother public cen-
ters such as schools and libraries
have similar Webuser protection
models in place.
By holding employees to high-
er standards as they use the In-
ternet, Welebob said they are
better equipped to protect the
township and its employees.
"If its goingtohelpprotect our
employees, then thats definitely
something we want to do," Wele-
bob said.
The property marked "sale
pending" across the highway
from the township office has
been cleared of trees, and Super-
visor Donald Zampetti said that
was done to prevent a seasonal
variety of bat from roosting
there.
Zampetti said, though the
owners of Jack Williams Auto
Service Centers were looking to
purchase the property owned by
Edward Deets of Mountain Top,
they had not yet bought the land
for a new service center, nor had
they presented any plans to the
supervisors.
Anticipating the lands sale,
the trees were cleared because
the Indiana Bat, a species that hi-
bernates between October and
April, might inhabit the trees.
State law requires any trees con-
sidered potential bat habitats to
be cleared before April 1 to pre-
vent killing the winged mosqui-
to-eaters.
The township recycling cen-
ter, located adjacent to the town-
ship office along South Moun-
tain Boulevard in Mountain Top,
will accept unwantedelectronics
for recycling May 31 from 7 a.m.
until 3 p.m. Residents should
contact the township office for a
list of acceptable items.

LA PUENTE, Calif. The
Diaz family awoke to find a
Lexus at the bottom of their
swimming pool.
The Southern California
family told the San Gabriel
Valley Tribune that drivers
navigating the tricky intersec-
tion next to their house in La
Puente have hit their cinder-
block wall before, but early
Sunday one of them smashed
right through it in his silver
sedan, then sank into the
pool.
A crane later fished out the
2006 Lexus.
California Highway Pa-
trol officer Steve Licon said
the driver 40-year- old
Modesto Cabral was able
to escape from the car
through the passenger-side
window and had only minor
injuries.
Jail records show he was
booked on suspicion of
drunken driving and was
being held on $10,000 bail.
It is not clear whether hes
hired an attorney.

wanna and Luzerne county lines
that needtobe explored.
This years report, a record 133
pages long, still focuses on Lacka-
wanna andLuzerne.
Thats been the case since the
first report was published in 2006.
But there is a new section regard-
ing the Marcellus Shale and its im-
pact onthe regionas a whole.
The institute will publicly re-
lease the report Thursday at its an-
nual IndicatorsReport andRegion-
al Forumevent inScranton.
Tingedwithnegatives
The Times Leader was given an
advancecopyfor review, andwhile
there were some positives reflect-
ed in the report, many of those
were tingedwithnegatives.
I was more upset that there
wasnt more positive change,
Ooms said, before reeling off a list
of goodnews.
The fact theres been real pop-
ulationgrowthisanicepositivesig-
nal, said Ooms. Its been on the
decline since the 50s.
She noted the population de-
creases led to a smaller tax base
andeligibleworkers intheemploy-
ment pool. But that uptick in pop-
ulation, a 0.7 percent increase in
both Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties between 2000 and 2010,
brings withit additional problems.
The downside is we havent
dealt withpopulationgrowthsince
the 50s and that is a challenge,
Ooms said. Lets face it, local gov-
ernment is suffering, but demand
for services is not dwindling: Road
improvements, trash, public safe-
ty.
Whileeducation, specificallythe
regionsrateof collegedegreehold-
ers, has been cited by many com-
munity leaders as lagging behind
the rest of the state, the latest data
reveals that both counties have a
higher rate of residents holding as-
sociates or bachelors degrees in
2010thantheydidin2000. But the
report also shows that those rates
dipped from 2009 in Lackawanna
County but continued to increase
inLuzerne.
Lackof healthinsurance
Another key indicator that
showed an unwelcome change is
the percentage of people without
healthinsurancecoverage. In2010,
10.4 percent of Lackawanna Coun-
ty residents lacked health insur-
ance. In Luzerne, the percentage
was even higher at 11 percent. A
year prior, the rates were 8.5 per-
cent in Lackawanna and 9 percent
inLuzerne.
The economy is the central
theme to many facets of the leng-
thy report.
Try to raise a family of four on
$35,000 or less, Ooms noted. Its
very difficult.
Then throw in all of the contin-
uallyrisingcostsof taxes, gas, food,
housing, electricity.
Its becoming more expensive
to live, which means were seeing
more people falling out of the mid-
dle class and into poverty, Ooms
said.
Andthis cycles back to regional-
ismand finding answers, help and
waystosaveoncostsandbetterthe
indicators area-wide.
Regionalism is the way to go.
Collaborationandcooperation, co-
ordinationof services, Ooms said.
She said the barriers between
Lackawanna and Luzerne have be-
guntocomedownandits timethe
entire region acts in tandem to
makeNortheasternPennsylvaniaa
better place tolive andwork.
LarryNewman, vicepresidentof
planning, policy and development
for the Greater Wilkes-Barre
Growth Partnership, said the idea
to incorporate surrounding coun-
ties in future indicator reports
makes a lot of sense.
Toooften, Newmannoted, coun-
ty lines are good for maps, not too
goodfor planning.
He said cross-county line coop-
eration has been happening for
years in economic development,
health care, education and trans-
portation, whichisthebulkof what

We should have done it a long

We ought to quit taking jabs at
one another to score political
points.
U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall
The Democratic lawmaker from West Virginia
commented on the standstill in Congress caused by
a tactic nicknamed the poison pill in which issues that should have
broad support fail to gain enough votes because of partisan wording
within the bills. The most recent example: a stalled bill that would keep
student loan rates low.
Here are 10 concerns for
a complacent electorate
S
omeone once said, In a democracy you
get the government you deserve and
you deserve the government you get.
Nowhere is this truer than in the United
States.
The apathetic attitude of the American
electorate has allowed the wealthiest 1
percent of the population to essentially
buy the government and coerce the rest of
us to support their schemes through taxes,
both actual and hidden.
The American people have become
complacent, relying on catchy phrases and
spoon-fed propaganda from bought-and-
paid-for television and radio personalities
rather than finding out for themselves the
truth.
If the American people really want to
take back their government, they will have
to work for it. If an incumbent politician
claims to be for the people, see how that
person voted by going to http://tho-
mas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php. If you
want to verify the accuracy of what some-
one said, visit www.factcheck.org.
Most of all, register and then vote
because the easiest way for a few people to
control the many, is for the many to do
nothing.
Here are 10 issues about which we
should be concerned:
1. Take money out of politics; demand
taxpayer-funded elections.
2. Redistricting should be done by a
nonpartisan elected group, and each dis-
trict should be shaped as close as possible
like a square.
3. All bills should be voted on with
straight up or down votes with no amend-
ments. This would eliminate the so-called
poison pill and let the voters know how
their representatives are voting.
4. All televised debates should be mon-
itored by a nonpartisan fact-checking
group with a news ticker announcing their
findings during the debate.
5. The Electoral College should be elim-
inated.
6. All dedicated taxes, such as Social
Security and Medicare, should be used
only for the purpose they were collected.
7. The only way to put Americans back
to work is to buy American-made products.
Adopt the attitude that if its not made
here, we can live without it.
8. Pass single-payer, universal health
care.
9. Stop relying on oil, gas and coal; start
using renewable energy wherever possible.
10. When an American corporation
moves out of the country and then tries to
import its products back to the United
States, we should put a tariff on its prod-
ucts that equals the difference of the cost
of manufacturing it here.

came to Washington with much pas-
sion, little knowledge and no wisdom.
Critics have said that they came not to
change government but to end it. Their
only agenda seemingly has been to block
President Obamas agenda, not to offer one
of their own. Remember House Speaker
John Boehners famous (notorious) 16-
page budget with no figures? Are they at
all serious? Is not some plan for govern-
ance necessary?
Two local congressmen are included as
part of the 87 tea party members who won
election in the 2010 mid-terms. Tom Mari-
no of Lycoming Township (10th District)
doesnt scorn this label; he seems to be-
lieve that he benefits from it. Lou Barletta
of Hazleton (11th District) disdains the
label but continues to vote along with
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and
the tea party.

HELPING EMPLOYEES get
healthier and helping to
curb the rising cost of health
care should be priorities for
all employers. And May,
designated as National
Employee Health and Fit-
ness Month, is the perfect time for employers
to start taking an active role in their employ-
ees health.
Not only will your employees and their
families benefit, but your companys bottom
line can get healthier, too.
Take a look at the facts. The federal Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Prevention has
found that approximately 75 percent of em-
ployers health care costs come from treating
chronic, but preventable, conditions brought
on by obesity, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol and lack of physical activity.
According to a recent Gallup poll, unhealthy
workers are costing U.S. employers approxi-
mately $153 billion annually.
It makes sense that unfit employees are
sicker, and that sicker employees cost busi-
nesses more money. But what can an employ-
er do to remedy the situation?
Instituting a strong employee health and
wellness program can make a big difference
in the overall health of an organization and
its employees. In fact, for every dollar spent
on employee health initiatives, an organiza-
tion can expect to see a return of $3 to $6 in
reduced costs, improved productivity, re-
duced absenteeism and better medical insur-
ance rates, according to the Wellness Council
of America.
Encouraging health and fitness can be
something as simple as starting a walk-at-
lunch club, providing healthier choices in the
employee cafeteria, hosting presentations by
health professionals and offering quick and
easy blood pressure checks. Employers also
can partner with community groups and
encourage participation in local fitness
events.
Some employers offer gym memberships
and other incentives for employees to lose
weight and keep their blood pressure, choles-
terol and sugar levels under control. Whatev-
er shape the employee wellness program
takes, the result is healthier employees. And
healthier employees are more productive,
take fewer sick days and help reduce insur-
ance risk.
At Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia, the results of our employee wellness
programs have been dramatic. Since 2008,
weve noticed a 9 percent drop in inpatient
hospitalization, a 7 percent drop in emergen-
cy room utilization and an overall medical
care cost increase of only 3.6 percent for
employees engaged in the wellness program.
Compare that with national averages of a
15 percent increase, 9 percent increase and
7.43 percent increase, respectively. Clearly,
investing proactively in employee wellness is
paying off.
Because we understand the value of em-
ployee health and fitness, many insurers offer
support for workplace wellness activities for
their clients. At Blue Cross, our Blue Health
Solutions program is available to all covered
employers to help their employees manage
chronic conditions, improve fitness or simply
start down the path of a healthier lifestyle.
This National Employee Health and Fit-
ness Month, we encourage all local employ-
ers to make a commitment to their employ-
ees health and to their companys health
by implementing workplace health and well-
ness programs that can make a difference.

sources at Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia, based in Wilkes-Barre. For information, visit

F ONE DOLLAR could
contribute todevelopinga
way to detect Alzheimers
disease in a living patient,
would you spend it? If another
dollar could help pay for vac-
cine research focused on dis-
eases such as the flu or West
Nile virus, would you spend it?
And if such a dollar which,
by the way, didnt come from
taxpayers pockets could at-
tract almost three more dollars
in federal funds, wouldnt that
make the equation a no-brain-
er?
Gov. Tom Corbetts budget
plan got the answer wrong.
Since 2001, Pennsylvania has
used its share of the multistate
tobacco settlement fund the
result of a deal that forced the
industry to bear some respon-
sibility for health problems
caused by its products to pay
for home and community-
basedcare, tobaccouse preven-
tion, prescription drug cover-
age for senior citizens and oth-
er health programs. Twenty
percent of the states share has
gone to 39 institutions, includ-
ing the University of Pitts-
burgh School of Medicine, spe-
cifically for biomedical re-
search.
Nowthe Corbett administra-
tion wants to redirect that por-
tion an estimated $60 million
statewide in the coming bud-
get year to help pay for long-
term care programs instead.
While that care should have a
high priority, the state should
not cut off the Commonwealth
Universal Research Enhance-
ment fund to pay for it. Pitting
one program that aims to im-
prove the health of Pennsylva-
nians against another is coun-
terproductive, and eliminating
the CURE funding will have
long-lasting, detrimental im-
pact.
Pitt and other research cen-
ters have been careful stewards
of the funds allocated through
CURE, and it is starting to pay
dividends. It would be short-
sighted to pull the plug now.

ESPOND TO 14-year-
old Tyler Winsteads
shooting death this
spring not with
clenched fists or total resigna-
tion, but rather with determina-
tion.
Resolve tojoinwithlike-mind-
ed Wyoming Valley residents to
use this tragedy as a catalyst for
confronting longstanding fail-
ures and emerging challenges in
our community. A movement
calledBuildingBridgesalready
is forming in Wilkes-Barre, offer-
ing people concerned about chil-
drens welfare a chance to chan-
nel theirheartacheandperhaps
their fears anddisgust intolast-
ing, loving solutions.
Whether police ultimately de-
termine that Winstead, an
eighth-grade student at the citys
GAR High School, was gunned
down in a drive-by shooting or
sustained his fatal injury under
other circumstances will not
change the underlying truths.
Our teens shouldnt die by vio-
lence, nor should they resort to
it.
Together, we can do more to
strengthen families the No. 1
defenseagainst manyof thetrou-
bles that teens will encounter.
We can diffuse racial tensions
and minimize school violence
and bullying. We can discourage
gang involvement.
We can devise better strate-
gies to support the teachers, par-
ents and grandparents who
shape and care for school-age
children. We can provide more
and better-equipped programs
that offer good alternatives to
those youths most susceptible to
bad temptations.
If committed to the cause, we
can do lots more to safely guide
the children of Greater Wilkes-
Barre through their growing-up
years.
Attend one or more of the
Building Bridges town hall
meetings scheduled in May and
June. By being there and getting

TomTorbik, executive director
of the Wilkes-Barre Parking Au-
thority, said items such as shut-
ting down meters would be in-
cluded in the concessionaires
agreement, which would be part
of Phase 2. Torbik said the au-
thority has yet to decide if it will
proceed to Phase 2.
That document hasnt even
been seen yet, Torbik said. But
anything that has to do with in-
come whether it be to shut
down for the St. Patricks Day pa-
rade, or for construction because
of a broken water line -- has an af-
fect on income. When they cant
collect on certain dates, that will
lower their bids. Its strictly a
business deal.
Torbiksaidauthority members
have received a copy of the pro-
posed Request for Qualifications
and will discuss it at todays
meeting. He said the financial da-
ta has not yet been analyzed by
DesmanAssociates, the Chicago-
based parking consulting firmre-
tainedfor $5,000. OntheDesman
website, the City of Chicago is
not listedonthe companys client
list.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leighton, who proposed the idea
of leasing the citys parking as-
sets and with the hope of a $20
millionupfront payment, saidthe
city is well aware of the issues
that Chicago is facing and the
bills that it is disputing.
The lessons of the Chicago
lease were a part of our research
and analysis fromthe start of our
exploration of the lease, Leight-
on said.
Special events are an integral
part of the community, and I
want to make sure that the city
will not be penalized for holding
such events or responding to
evolving needs like infrastruc-
ture repairs.
We are on top of it
Leighton said the concerns
will be addressed with any poten-
tial bidders as a contract is nego-
tiated; however, he said its pre-
mature in the process to discuss
what types of protections will be
in the deal before bids have been
received.
We identified this early and
we are on top of it, he said.
As Chicago battles with its
leasing company, New York City
is again considering leasing its
parking assets, using Chicago as
the model of how not to do it.
In a story in Mondays Wall
Street Journal written by Ted
Mann, New York City is taking
tentative steps toward turning
over the operation of its nearly
39,000 parking meters to a pri-
vate company, with a cautious
eye toward avoiding costly mis-
steps made in other cities.
The WSJ story said Mayor Mi-
chael Bloombergs administra-
tionhasnt made a decisiontogo
ahead with a deal. But it will put
out requests (RFQs) in the com-
ing weeks to weigh the capabili-
ties of potential bidders.
Manns story saidNYCofficials
are aware that privatizing park-
ing meters has been fraught with
problems and political fallout
inother cities, most notably in
Chicago.
The WSJ story said New York
City officials said they arent
looking for an upfront balloon
payment. New Yorks meters
brought in $149 million in reve-
nue in the last fiscal year, a
spokesman for the city told
Mann.
The Sun Times reported for-
mer Chicago Mayor Richard Da-
ley, his corporation counsel and
two top press aides subsequent-
ly joined a Chicago law firm that
took in $822,760 in legal fees
from City Hall in Daley-engi-
neered deals that privatized the
Chicago Skyway, the citys down-
town parking garages and Chica-
gos parking meters. The parking
meter deal has been a political
cause clbre since Daley
rammed the deal through the
City Council in record time.
Aspokesperson in Mayor Ema-
nuels office said any parking
lease agreement should include
strong language that protects
taxpayers.
PARKING
The Wilkes-Barre City Parking
Authority meets today at noon at
the North Parking Garage, North
Main Street.
WHATS NEXT
Wilkes-Barre officials soon
plan to release requests-for-pro-
posals for the Hotel Sterling dem-
olitiontocome upwithfirmcosts
to tear down the structure, city
Mayor Tom Leighton said Mon-
day.
Luzerne County officials had
estimated demolition at up to
$1.5 million, but pulled out of the
project before seeking bids from
contractors.
Leighton said the exact cost is
needed because city, federal,
state and county officials are still
meeting to try to scrape together
funding.
The point is to get a true cost
and exactly whats needed to get
to the next step, Leighton said.
Wilkes-Barre is on the hook for
the demolition because the city
condemned the property at the
corner of River and Market
streets.
Government intervention is
needed because the buildings
nonprofit owner, CityVest, is out
of funds. CityVest spent most of a
$6millionloanfromthecountyto
make the parcel larger, tear down
an attached high-rise and remove
hazardous material fromthe orig-
inal 114-year-old former hotel.
The city has not identified ad-
ditional funds beyond the
$250,000 in state gaming money
already committed toward demo-
lition, and the other government
entities have designated nothing
to date, he said.
Were investigating multiple
ways to try to get money for this.
Were all working together,
Leighton said.
County council members vot-
ed last month to accept county
Manager Robert Lawtons recom-
mendation to cancel the alloca-
tion of up to $1.5 million in coun-
ty community development busi-
ness loan funds to demolish the
structure.
Lawton said countys funding
denial hasnt changed, thoughthe
county continues to meet with
the city and other leaders. The
county engineers office is provid-
ing some technical assistance to
the city to prepare the demolition
proposal, he said.
A few county officials have
questioned why the city cant
fundthe Sterling demolitionwith
some of the estimated $20 mil-
lion in revenue Leighton expects
from the city Parking Authoritys
planned leasing of its assets.
Leightonsaidthe parkinglease
wont be finalized until the end of
the year or early next year, and
the Sterling must come down be-
fore then.
The city will require contrac-
tors to obtain engineering servic-
es to design the demolition.
Before withdrawing, county of-
ficials had planned to retain an
outside engineer to design the
demolition, which would then
provide the scope of workfor con-
tractors.
Leighton said the city ap-
proach allows contractors to sug-
gest various options.
There are multiple ways to
take this building down. The pro-
posals will help determine the
cost and manner it would come
down, he said.
Care is required because a pri-
mary city-owned storm/sewer
systemruns beneaththe roadway
near the Sterling.
The basement walls of the Ster-
ling must be maintained and
braced because they serve as re-
taining walls that will support
River andMarket streets after the
building is gone. Implosion may
not be an option because intense
vibration could jeopardize the
structural integrity of nearby cen-
tury-old buildings.

ber.
City officials have met with
downtown merchants concerned
about congestion caused by traf-
fic barriers around the site,
Leighton said.
The mayor said everybody
fears Market and River streets
will be completely closed around
the building.
Its a main emergency route to
get inandout of the city. Its inev-
erybodys interest to address this
quickly. Its at the top of everybo-
dys list, Leighton said.

Concrete barriers create a buffer between West Market Street and the Hotel Sterling in Wilkes-
Barre.
staff members who help with
homework, studying, time man-
agement and life skills, the stu-
dents, who are in grades five
through eight at three Wilkes-
Barre Area elementary schools,
also get weekly one-on-one tu-
toring and mentoring from
Kings students.
Career and college prepara-
tion are also emphasized each
week and a career dinner that
allowed parents and students to
meet area professionals to dis-
cuss jobs, the importance of
education and internships was
held recently.
All the students were select-
ed by school guidance counsel-
ors and needed to be failing in
two classes and below the pov-
erty limit to qualify to participa-
te.
Giselle Hage, a Volunteers of
America staff member who is
one of two learning coaches
who makes weekly visits to the
students homes, said she has
seen marked improvement in
attitude and grades from the
students and increased involve-
ment from parents and siblings,
too. She said she also has been
asked to help families with is-
sues including translating some
documents for Hispanics and
helping with homework for sib-
lings if needed.
Their grades are going up
theyre specifically talking
about education and talking
about the future, I see a big dif-
ference, Hage, of Wilkes-Barre,
said.
Two of those students who
said theyve benefited from the
program are Tah-Sjaye Williams
and Naomy Olmedo, both 11,
and fifth-graders at Kistler.
Williams said her grades are
improved, she is doing well in
her classes and she has no
doubt she wouldnt be saying
that if it werent for the pro-
gram. Naomy said she is excited
when the Volunteers of America
worker visits her home each
week and she has been encour-
aged to think about her future.
Though the funding for the
program runs out in a month,
Summer Krochta, from Dallas,
the administrative director at
Volunteers of America in
Wilkes-Barre, said she is hope-
ful the funds will be available
again, and if they are, a submis-
sion will be made to continue
the program.
Doyne is not only hopeful
that the funds will be there, but
also that the program will ex-
pand in the future to other
school districts in the county.
The announcement of wheth-
er funds will be available for
next year wont be made until
July 1, but the Volunteers of
America staffers are not worry-
ing about it.
They have other things to oc-
cupy their time, including
Thursdays opening of a tempo-
rary store that will sell T-shirts,
stickers and postcards that cele-
brate Wilkes-Barre and its histo-
ry.
The store will be open the
same hours as the Fine Arts
Fiesta: this Thursday to Satur-
day, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and
Sunday, from10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It
will also open on the weekends
of May 26 and 27 and June 2 and
3, though those hours arent set
yet.
The shop, at 60 S. Main St.,
will be staffed by the students,
who will get a real-world experi-
ence in sales, interacting with
customers, business plans and
public speaking.

Thus as they boarded their
mathematically designed vessel
in front of fellow Coughlin High
School students in a swimming
pool, the duo found themselves
kneeling, one on each pontoon,
leaning face to face over the
cube, unable to paddle with any
efficiency. It didnt helpthat they
were laughing at least until
they fell in. Then they laughed
harder.
Where did they go wrong?
Not enough duct tape, Boris
said with a grin.
Duct tape was primarily
meant to be the waterproof coat-
ing and to help hold the shape,
Coughlin college prep geometry
teacher Jenifer Kemmerer said.
The goal was to apply knowl-
edge of surface area, volume,
shape water displacement, and
how it all relates to flotation.
About 45 students worked in
teams to design crafts in theory,
then in reality, and got to test
them Monday by putting their
bodies where there brains were
inside the cardboard canoes.
Students got graded on the ef-
fort, andonthesuccess of thede-
sign, primarily by measuring the
water line before and after the
craft was boarded to see if their
displacement calculations were
accurate, Kemmerer said. They
did not fail if the craft didnt
make it across the pool.
Which they all did, except for
the SSBoris andDunn, thoughit
looked close for the shallow-
walled ship John Jones and
Breanna Kemmerer boarded.
When Breanna decide to hop in
knees first rather than step in,
the thing appeared ready to take
on water before the first paddle
stroke. After making it across,
they conceded the design was a
little shaky.
We had a different plan,
Jones said. We were going to
make a cube, but then it ended
up being a rectangle. Why a
cube? Intheory, there was more
height and less chance for water
to get in.
Lack of paddling style
Alisabeth Pickett had a solid
boat but a not-so-solid paddling
technique, quickly spinning
around at the speed of her gig-
gles. How do I move forward?
she asked. She figured it out
without gettingananswer, weav-
ing a semi-straight path to the
other end.
Should she have made the
sides of the ship a bit shorter?
Yeah, definitely, Pickett said.
But more important, I just dont
know how to paddle that good.
By comparison to most ves-
sels, Niko Chiverella had built a
yacht, complete withcupholder.
I was going to bring a pina cola-
da andsomesunglasses, hesaid
after crossing the pool.
Nicolas Bishop plowed across
the water in what looked like re-
cord time. I figured with my
wrestling background Id be able
to even out my balance and
weight, andI doa lot of kayaking
so I know how to paddle.
After all the boats had a crack
at the pool crossing, Meyers
High School teacher Sam Elias
suggested a race against the
clock. Kemmerer noted she had
basically imported the card-
board canoe idea from a similar
project Elias did last year at
Meyers. Boaters took turns try-
ing to cross as fast as they could.
This time, Boris and Dunn
flipped their pontoon cube up-
side down and sat on the large
center square a pontoon on each
side like the armrest of an over-
stuffed easy chair. This innova-
tion left them facing in opposite
directions and, ultimately, back
in the drink.
Bishop made another quick
tripacross thepool, but this time
found his slick craft absorbing
too much water and collapsing
just a foot or two from poolside.
Jones had the not-so-bright
idea of lying down in a boat and
trying to paddle in front of him-
self. The craft took water all the
way, but stayed afloat to the end.
Erica Kline, who had not pad-
dled when her teams boat made
its maiden voyage, decided to
give it a go and clocked the fas-
test time so far, a bit more than
28 seconds. But Jones borrowed
another craft and beat that by a
second.
And if someone goes faster,
Im going to do it again until I
win! he said.

S
o much for all this supposed
transparency at Penn State.
If the new head coach of the
Nittany Lions has his way, it looks as
if the football program is going right
back to the dark ages at least in
terms of the way transgressions are
handled.
Facing his first true indiscretion
since he was hired in January to
replace the late Joe Paterno, and at
least partly to help rebuild Penn
States shattered image, OBrien start-
ed out instead by smashing illusions
of a new era for the Blue and White.
Because he waffled about his puni-
shment for Devon Smith.
When Penn States Coaches Cara-
van stopped in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania twice last week, OBrien
wasnt shy about discussing the mess
his speedy wide receiver ran into
during the offseason.
A police raid a month ago turned
up drugs and drug paraphernalia at
Smiths apartment two months ago,
which should have alarmed the new
coach.
And maybe it did.
But to what extent, OBrien doesnt
want anyone to know.
Devon has been charged with a
misdemeanor, OBrien said. There
are two sides to every story. Devons
not perfect. Hes a good kid. I believe
in him.
But its hard to believe what
OBrien said next.
The punishment, OBrien held
firmly, will be between Devon and
I.
Is he kidding us?
Such stubborn secrecy is what
deflated Penn States once-proud
football program and ultimately
brought down his predecessor Pa-
terno. Because it permeated an envi-
ronment where former defensive
coordinator Jerry Sandusky could run
around allegedly molesting young
boys.
This isnt the old boys network at
Penn State anymore.
Or at least it wasnt supposed to
be.
Were going to be transparent,
new Penn State president Rodney
Erickson promised after Paterno lost
his job, even as the winningest head
coach in major college football histo-
ry with 409 victories, following the
Sandusky scandal last year.
Yet, OBrien walks in and appears
as translucent as a brick wall. Or the
super-secretive New England Patriots
coach he used to work for, Bill Bel-
ichick.
Were going to run a very dis-
ciplined program, thats for sure,
OBrien promised.
Then show us.
This is OBriens chance to make a
statement, to set some ground rules,
to lay the ground work for the foun-
dation of a new era of Penn State
football.
Nobody in the Penn State public
needs to know the details of Devon
Smiths case before the legal process
plays out.
But they do need to know players
are going to pay for crossing the law.
OBrien could have suggested hell
slap Smith with a suspension, a loss
of his starting spot for awhile, or
even some community service before
he plays for Penn State again.
Instead, everyones left wondering
exactly what type of consequence
breaking the law under OBriens
watch will bring.
Without that assurance, it doesnt
matter how many intricate crossing
patterns OBrien can turn into touch-
downs on Saturdays at Penn State. In
the eyes of a school trying to score
points with a morality play, his pro-
gram already appears destined to be
tackled for a loss.

O P I N I O N
A secret that
shouldnt be
locked in a box
Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports
columnist. You may reach him at 970-7109 or
email him at psokoloski@timesleader.com.
Geoff Walker began to shave off
the mustache he had grown during
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins playoff run and came to a
harsh realization.
His season had come to an end.
You look at yourself in the mirror
andsay this is over, Walker saidas
he packed his gear for one final time
Monday at Coal Street. This is har-
der than last year.
The feeling was mutual among all
the Penguins players who stopped
by the locker room for one last time
to pack up. Saturdays 3-2 Game 7
loss to St. Johns still hadnt hit
home for many.
Time hadnt allowed that to hap-
pen yet.
Its funny howquick these things
end, said Ryan Craig, who finished
up his second straight season as the
Penguins captain. Abrupt. You
wake up this morning and get that
empty feeling that youre supposed
to be doing something else. We ex-
pected to be preparing to play in an-
other series. Thats the sad part.
Even the coaching staff wasnt im-
mune to the disappoint that comes
not only fromSaturdays loss, but to
the fact that a teamthat had been so
close for the last seven months
would now drift apart.
Youregoingsostrongintheplay-
offs and it just stops, coach John
Hynes said. You quickly say good-
bye and everyone goes off on their
own for the summer.
For veteran Joey Mormina, who
just wrapped up his seventh pro sea-
son, Saturdays loss still stung more
than the finality of the season.
We expected to be practicing to-
day. Weplayed25periods against St.
Johns and it came down to one
goal, he said. We fell one goal
short.
Still, there were a lot of positives
totake fromthe 2011-12 season. This
years club won 44 games in the reg-
ular season and advanced to round
two of the playoffs for the second
straight year.
Last season the Penguins won 58
games, giving them 102 victories
over the last two years.
We won a lot of hockey games,
Craig said, who later admitted that
all those wins didnt ease the pain
the players were feelinginthe locker
room.
Its doubtful that a summer break
away fromthe rink, with a chance to
get their minds off of a hockey for a
bit would do much.
Craig said the game wont leave
his mind this summer.
Ima hockey player, I dont know
if it ever shuts off, he said.

Rangers rookie Chris
Kreider and defense-
man Dan Girardi both
hada goal andanassist
in the third period, and
Henrik Lundqvist
stopped21shots for his fifthcareer play-
off shutout, as weary New York opened
the Eastern Conference finals with a 3-0
victory over the well-rested New Jersey
Devils on Monday night.
Playing just two days after eliminat-
ing Washington in a stirring 2-1Game 7
victory, thetop-seededRangers hit their
home ice again and won their third
straight Game 1 of
these playoffs. The
Devils had been off for
five days since they
knocked out the Phila-
delphia Flyers in five
games.
No team forced to
play seven-game se-
ries in each of the first two rounds has
gone on to win the Stanley Cup, but the
Rangers are determined to be the first.
Shaking off suggestions they are tired,
the Rangers slogged through two score-
less periods and pulled out a win with a
dominating third period.

HANOVER TWP. As miserable
and rainy as it was Monday afternoon, it
was a beautiful day for the Hanover Area
girls soccer team.
For the first time since 2009, the Haw-
keyes are getting the opportunity to
make the District 2 playoffs.
There is still another hurdle to clear,
but Hanover Area had no problemclear-
ing the one in its way.
Gabby Murphy scored five goals
three more than Hanover Area scored in
its first meeting with Wyoming Semina-
ry as the Hawkeyes rolled the Blue
Knights 9-0.
The victory put Ha-
nover Area (7-5-1) and
North Pocono (7-5-1) in
a tie for the second D2
playoff berth out of Di-
vision 2-A. The teams
will meet 6 p.m.
Wednesday at Spartan
Stadium in Kingston to
decide which makes the10-teamdistrict
field.
Mondays game was a stark contrast
tothe April 11meetingwonby Seminary
4-2, although Hanover Area didnt pull
away until the second half.
Last time we had some key injuries
we were coming back from, Hanover
Area coachBrianBannonsaid. Plus, we
played North Pocono the Tuesday right
before that game. And motivation. We
had something to play for.
Leading 2-0 at the break, Murphy
equaled her first-half output 14 minutes
into the second half. The junior dis-
played her speed or what speed she
could display on the slick, freshly-cut
grass by splitting two defenders in the
50thminute. Her goal four minutes later
bumped the advantage to 4-0.
We had a lot of communication out
there today, saidMurphy, whomisseda

WASHINGTON Roger Clemens
chief accuser finally tookthe standMon-
day in the former pitchers perjury trial,
a make-or-break moment for the govern-
ment.
Brian McNamee has said he injected
Clemens with steroids and human
growthhormone in1998, 2000and2001.
Clemens is accused of lying to Congress
in 2008 when he denied using those
drugs.
McNamee, wearing a tan suit and
speaking softly in a thick New York ac-
cent, began his testimony with ques-
tions that focusedonhis jobhistory. The
case broke for lunch before he got into
anything about Clemens.
McNamee, Clemens former strength
coach, says he saved items that he used
while injecting Clemens with perform-
ance-enhancing drugs, including gauze,
tissues, syringes, cotton balls and nee-
dles. Prosecutors saytheyhave evidence
that some of the materials tested posi-
tive for the drugs as well as Clemens
DNA.
Clemens lawyers have said they will
contend that the items saved by McNa-
mee have been tainted and contaminat-
ed because they were stored so haphaz-
ardly. They refer to the collection as a
mixed-up hodgepodge of garbage.
Clemens insists that McNamee injected
himwithvitaminB12 andthe anesthetic

Blanton (4-3) allowed six
hits and one run, struck out
seven and walked one while
pitching in a steady light rain
throughout. The right-hander
continued his solid recent
stretch, improving to 3-0 with a
2.10 ERA in his last four starts.
Pirates 3, Marlins 2
MIAMI Brad Lincoln
pitched six innings to earn a
victory in his first start of the
season, and the Pittsburgh
Pirates ended a streak of eight
consecutive losses against the
Marlins.
Lincoln (3-0), who had come
out of the bullpen in his seven
previous appearances this
season, departed for a pinch-
hitter with a 3-2 lead and an
ERA of 1.33. He allowed four
hits and walked one.
Mets 3, Brewers 1
NEW YORK Miguel Batis-
ta pitched seven shutout in-
nings of four-hit ball and Daniel
Murphy supplied the offense,
sending the surprising New
York Mets to a victory over the
Milwaukee Brewers.
Given a vote of confidence
by manager Terry Collins be-
fore the game, struggling clos-
er Frank Francisco bounced
back from a pair of rough out-
ings to earn his ninth save.
Murphy extended his recent
tear at the plate by hitting an
RBI single and scoring on a
suicide squeeze a play the
Brewers failed to execute earli-
er.
Reds 3, Braves 1
ATLANTA Brandon Phil-
lips drove in the go-ahead run
with a double off the center-
field wall and the Cincinnati
Reds scored two runs off Jonny
Venters in the eighth inning to
beat the Atlanta Braves.
Nationals 8, Padres 5
WASHINGTON Bryce
Harper hit his first big league
home run and Chad Tracy and
Xavier Nady each connected in
the eighth inning, leading the
Washington Nationals to a
victory over the San Diego
Padres on Monday night.
Harper became the youngest
major leaguer to homer since
1998, going deep on a solo shot
to straightaway center field in
the third inning off right-hand-
er Tim Stauffer.
Cubs 6, Cardinals 4
ST. LOUIS Alfonso Sor-
iano singled in the go-ahead
run in the eighth inning and
the Chicago Cubs sent the St.
Louis Cardinals to their fourth
straight loss at home with a
victory.

BALTIMORE Mark Teix-
eira hit a tiebreaking two-run
homer in the seventh inning,
Curtis Granderson also con-
nected, and the New York
Yankees got three hits from
Alex Rodriguez in an 8-5 victo-
ry over the Baltimore Orioles
on Monday night.
It was the fourth win in five
games for the Yankees, who
improved to 4-0 at Camden
Yards this season.
Rays 7, Blue Jays 1
TORONTO Cesar Ramos
got his first career win after
replacing the injured Jeff Nie-
mann, and Ben Zobrist home-
red and the Tampa Bay Rays
beat the Toronto Blue Jays.
Luke Scott and Sean Rodri-
guez each had two RBIs for the
Rays, who have won two
straight after losing six of their
previous seven.
Red Sox 6, Mariners 1
BOSTON Jon Lester
pitched his second complete
game of the season and Daniel
Nava and Kelly Shoppach each
homered, leading the Boston
Red Sox to a victory over the
Seattle Mariners.
David Ortiz and Adrian
Gonzalez added consecutive
RBI doubles for the Red Sox,
who won their fourth straight
at home.
Boston is on its longest
home winning streak since
capturing nine straight last
July.
The Mariners, on the second
stop of a four city, 11-game trip,
have dropped four of their last
six games.
Seattle entered the day with
the ALs second-worst batting
average at .235.
Indians 5, Twins 4
MINNEAPOLIS Shin-Soo
Choo hit the go-ahead RBI
single in the ninth inning to
back Jeanmar Gomezs seven
superb innings and lift the
Cleveland Indians to a victory
over the Minnesota Twins.
Choos base hit off Twins
closer Matt Capps (0-2) scored
pinch-runner Lou Marson from
second base, bailing out an
Indians bullpen that squan-
dered a 4-1 lead in the eighth
inning.
Gomez allowed one un-
earned run on three hits with
three strikeouts and two walks.
But Vinnie Pestano gave up an
RBI-double to Josh Willingham
in the eighth and Nick Haga-
done served up a two-run
homer to Ryan Doumit to tie
the game 4-4.
Chris Perez pitched the
ninth for his AL-leading 12th
save in 13 chances.

ARLINGTON, Texas The
numbers for Josh Hamilton are
just mind-boggling.
After the Texas Rangers
slugger had maybe the best
week ever in baseball, there
will be talk about the single-
season home run record. May-
be even the Triple Crown,
something as rare as his four-
homer game.
Hamilton led the majors
with a .402 batting average, 18
home runs and 44 RBIs enter-
ing Mondays games.
Hes a tremendous talent,
nobody has ever doubted it,
Rangers general manager Jon
Daniels said. When you see
him put it together the way he
has here, some guys get hot
andsome guys do what hes do-
ing.
Hamilton put together an in-
credible seven-game span
when he was 14 of 30 (.467)
with two doubles, nine homers
and 18 RBIs. His big week was
capped by an RBI single in the
seventhinningSunday night in
a13-6 winover the Los Angeles
Angels. He had a two-run dou-
ble witha pink bat for Mothers
Day earlier in the game, but in
that last plate appearance
cracked the bat he had used to
hit eight of his last nine home-
rs.
Instead of the scrap pile, the
record-setting bat is headed to
the Hall of Fame. That is after
fans attending Monday nights
game had a chance to pose for
pictures with it.
Honestly, I dont even think
about it at all until I see some-
body and they remind me of it,
or I talk to (media) about it,
Hamilton said of his run. I
said after (the four-homer
game), dealing with the histor-
ic part and talking to everybo-
dy, that it was over with. ...
Thats the only approach I have
every day when I get here: do
my work andtry to have a good
game.
The slugger, who can be a
free agent for the first time af-
ter this season, became only
the 16th major leaguer with
that four-homer game last
Tuesday at Baltimore. To put
the rarity into perspective,
there have been 21 perfect
games.

on Triple
Crown pace

S P O R T S
Eachoffseasonbringsaboutun-
certainty for some players and
plentyof questions for the organi-
zation. The Penguins organiza-
tion will have to make plenty of
tough decisions this summer,
mainly when it comes to unre-
strictedfree agents suchas Bryan
Lerg, Geoff Walker, Ryan Craig,
Colin McDonald, Joey Mormina
andBradThiessen, tonameafew.
Craig, McDonaldandThiessen
were under contract to Pitts-
burgh. Lerg, Mormina and Walk-
er were on AHL deals. The free
agency periodopens July1.
Heres a look at what coach
John Hynes and several players
hadto say about the future:
HYNES
On if hed like to have back sev-
eral of the unrestricted free
agents: Absolutely. I thinkour ol-
derplayersandtheAHL-contract-
ed guys have done a really good
job for us on and off the ice. Its
something well consider. Those
guys are definitely in talks about
the possibility of next year.
If players such as Ben Street,
Lerg and Walker could get NHL
deals next season: Theres al-
ways the possibility. Its one thing
we will discuss. We definitely re-
spect what theyvebeenabletodo
for us over twoyears. It put us ina
situation where well have to
make some harddecisions.
Is surgery needed for anyone
and Brian Straits injury: No one
needs surgery. (Strait) had a day-
to-day injury (upper body) that
we didnt feel put him in the best
decision to play that could in-
creasetheinjuryor not be100per-
cent.
What happened with Nick Pe-
tersen: Hes got a personal situa-
tion that hes continuing to work
through. It wasnt a day-to-day
thing. Itssomethinghesgot togo
through and I think hell work
through that. I dont think its an
endof theroadthing. Itsaperson-
al situation, non-hockey related
that he has to get straightened
out. Get himself in order and his
life in order away from the game
andbe back to play.
If goaltending will be scruti-
nizedthis summer (Thiessenand
Scott Munroe are both UFAs):
Yes. Itwill besomethingthatwill
bediscussedatbothlevels. Iknow
the management is going to look
through that thoroughly. There
aresomequestionmarkswhether
certain guys are going to be back
or not.
Possibility of taking an NHL
job: Ultimately at some point
thats where youd like to get to,
but I alsorecognize theres a proc-
esstogothrough. Youreinagreat
situation here, well-supported,
and the experience you go
throughasanAHLcoachwheth-
er its dealing with the media, go-
ing through playoff situations,
handlingateamintoughstreaks
I really feel like the development
hasnt come to a bubble yet.
I really enjoy working here. I
enjoy coaching at this level. It
would depend on the type of op-
portunity, but for methis is where
my focus is right now.
CRAIG
Onhisfuture: Trytoplayinthe
National Hockey League. Thats
my goal. Maybe with Pittsburgh
ormaybewithsomebodyelse. My
goal hasnt changedsinceI turned
pro to play in the NHL. Ill con-
tinuetostrivetoplaythereandbe
ina winning organization.
On his two years with Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton: From the fans
to the organization to the way
were treated in community, this
place is A-1inmy book.
WALKER
Onhis development this sea-
son: I took some big strides. Put
up some good numbers. I pro-
gressed well and hopefully can
keep going.
On his future and desire for an
NHL contract: I would like to
come back. They treated me real-
ly well. Coach Hynes really
helped me get better as a player.
(An NHL contract), thats my
goal. I thought I had a good
enoughseason. I thinkafter these
twoyears I deserve one andhope-
fully Ill get one. Well see what
happens.
MORMINA
On his future and an NHLdeal:
Hadyouaskedmethat ayearand
a half ago when I was here on a
PTO I never thought that would
be possible again. The last two
years I had to dig down deep and
findout thepersonImmadeof. It
mademestronger. I went through
the darker moments andhada re-
ally positive year individually. Id
lovetostayhereandbethat veter-
anguy again.
At the same time, Pittsburgh
has a lot of good young D-men.
Free agent signings. Who knows
where Ill be, but if I had a choice
Idlove to be back here.

Former SWB slugger beats Yankees with HR
The Rangers are in the confer-
ence finals for the first time since
1997, and they havent reached
the Stanley Cup finals since 1994
whenthey beat 22-year-oldgoalie
Martin Brodeur and the Devils in
a classic seven-game series that
backed up captain Mark Mess-
iers guarantee.
New Jersey is making its first
conference finals appearance
since 2003, the year the Devils
won the Cup for the third time.
Game 2 is Wednesday night in
New York.
Girardi, who struggled at
times with his defensive duties,
got a perfect setup from Kreider
and scored 53 seconds into the
third period. Playing in just his
13th NHL game, all in these play-
offs, Kreider sent a pass back
fromthe right circle inthe Devils
zone to the point. Girardi took
long strides as he charged up ice
and stepped into a shot that
ripped through a screen in front
by teammate Derek Stepan. The
shot beat Brodeur for Girardis
second playoff goal this season
and second in 47 career postsea-
son games.
Girardi also earned a second-
ary assist onKreiders power-play
goal with 8 minutes remaining
that made it 2-0. New Yorks
slumping power play connected
after Girardi was drilled hard
from behind into the boards by
Devils forward Steve Bernier.

McNamee and the jury arrived
in the courtroom after Clemens
lost his attempt to bring in infor-
mationfromMcNamees divorce.
U.S. District Judge Reggie Wal-
ton granted motions filed by
McNamee and his estranged
wifes law firm to quash a Clem-
ens subpoena for divorce records.
The judge called the subpoena a
fishing expedition.
Walton also rejected a defense
motion to strike Andy Pettittes
testimony about a contested con-
versationa dozenyears agoabout
human growth hormone.
Pettitte, Clemens former team-
mate, testified two weeks ago
that Clemens said he had used
HGH only to say under cross-
examination he might have mis-
understood their conversation.
Walton ruled that because Pet-
titte had said under questioning
from prosecutors that Clemens
said he used HGH, it was up to
the jury to decide which how
much weight to give Pettittes
testimony.
Clemens teamwonafewsmall
victories on Monday, over how
much of McNamees checkered
past it could present to jurors in
an attempt to diminish his cred-
ibility. The judge ruled that
Clemens team could bring up
evidence of McNamees alleged
alcohol problems, including two
convictions for driving under the
influence. Walton also said that if
the defense had evidence that
McNamee hadobtainedprescrip-
tion drugs without a prescrip-
tion, that too could be men-
tioned.
But the judge said that defense
lawyers could not mention that
McNamee was investigated for
an alleged sexual assault over an
incident at a St. Petersburg hotel
involving a woman who was
found to have a date rape drug in
her system.
Walton said that the defense
couldrefer toit as a serious crimi-
nal investigation. McNamee lied
to investigators, and prosecutors
have argued that with the excep-
tion of the false statements to po-
lice, the 2001incident is inadmis-
sible. Charges were never filed in
the case.
Monday was a reunion of sorts
for Clemens and his former
strength coach. In 2008, when
they testified together before a
congressional committee, McNa-
mee said he injected Clemens
with steroids and HGH, and
Clemens denied it.
Two weeks later, the chairman
and ranking member of the com-
mittee asked the Justice Depart-
ment to investigate whether
Clemens committed perjury at
the hearing, and two years after
that, Clemens was indicted by a
grand jury.
CLEMENS
APTOS, Calif. Peter
Sagan of Slovakia won his
second straight stage with a
powerful and unchallenged
sprint and retained the overall
lead Monday in stage 2 of the
Amgen Tour of California.
The Liquigas-Cannondale
rider was timed in the 117.1-
mile road race from San Fran-
cisco in 5 hours and 2 minutes.
He now leads the eight-day
event by 8 seconds over Hein-
rich Haussler of Australia, a
former Tour de France stage
winner who was second for the
second straight day, a half-
dozen bike lengths behind..
Today was very hard, the
climbs went very fast, said
Sagan, the former mountain
junior world titlist who now
also has five career wins in the
seven-year-old race.
Sagan also crashed with
about 4 1-2 miles left in the
opening stage, lost more than
20 seconds to the field but
returned to the front with
teammates help.
Leigh Howard of the Orica-
GreenEDGE team was third in
the stage that took the starting
field of 128 along the Cali-
fornia coastline.
Sagan was among 10 cyclists
who crashed 73 miles into
stage 2. All of the fallen riders
returned to the field.
Defending champion Chris
Horner of Bend, Ore., finished
safely in the main field for the
second straight day.
I knew the last corner was
close to the finish so I decided
to take the turn from the first
position, said Sagan. And I
won the stage. Im now think-
ing about winning another,
and maybe when we start the
harder climbs we will work for
(RadioShack-Nissan-Trek
teammate) Vincenzo Nibali.
The eight-day event contin-
ues Tuesday with 115.3-mile
stage 3 road race from San
Jose to Livermore. The route
will include the races first
substantial climb, an ascent of
Mt. Diablo about halfway
through the stage.
Giro dItalia
FROSINONE, Italy Fran-
cisco Ventoso of Spain won the
ninth stage of the Giro dItalia
in a sprint finish Monday after
several other contenders fell at
the last turn. Ryder Hesjedal, a
Canadian with Garmin-Barra-
cuda, kept the overall lead for
a third day.
Former Milan-San Remo
winner Matthew Goss was set
up for the sprint when he
miscalculated the final curve
and flew off his bike. He even-
tually got up and limped away.
World champion Mark Caven-
dish also went down but did
not appear injured. He is still
recovering from a bad case of
road rash in the third stage.

ence series with an 82-81 victory
Monday night.

Game 3 is Wednesday in Phila-
delphia.
Philadelphia won its first play-
off game in Boston since1982 de-
spite committing a playoff-high
19 turnovers and getting outre-
bounded 47-36.
Spencer Hawes finished with
eight points and10 rebounds and

It was starting to look familiar
for Philadelphia on Monday, but
the Sixers were able to hold off
the Celtics down the stretch in a
tight finish.
Philadelphia led 57-49 enter-
ing the fourth, but Boston tied it
twice before going up 72-71 on

Irving set to be
named top rookie
CLEVELAND (AP) Cavaliers
point guard Kyrie Irving is
hours away from being named
the NBAs Rookie of the Year.
The Cavs say they will make
a major announcement along
with the league this morning at
Cleveland Clinic Courts, the
teams training facility in
Independence. The team did
not specify what will be
announced, but The Associated
Press was one of several media
outlets to report on Sunday
that Irving will win the award.
GLYNDON, Md. After
bucking the odds to become a
major player in the sports appa-
rel business, Kevin Plank is eye-
ing a similar role in horse racing.
Plank, the founder and owner
of Under Armour, bought Saga-
moreFarmin2007. The530-acre
training and breeding facility
was once the home of Native
Dancer, winner of the Preakness
and Belmont in 1953. After
spendingmillionsof dollarstore-
furbish the farm, Plank is poised
to take the next step in his bid to
restore Marylands rich racing
tradition.
Having already produced a
Breeders Cup winner and a Bel-
mont Stakes entrant at Saga-
more Farm, Plank will enter Ti-
ger Walk in Saturdays Preak-
ness. His ultimate goal, however,
is todevelopa Triple Crownwin-
ner.
Plank figures Maryland, and
Sagamore Farm in particular, is
as good a place as any to breed
the next great horse.
I dont think theres anybody
that ownstheright,hesaid. We
havent had a
Triple Crown
winner in 33
years. What
other sport
hasnt named
a legitimate
champion in
33 years? So
that is far overdue, and no one in
Kentucky has done it. These
arent God-given rights limited
to growing up in Kentucky. Ma-
ryland has that kind of history
with Man of War, War Admiral,
Native Dancer. So why not us?
Sagamore Farm made a pro-
found impression on the sport in
2010 when Shared Account won
the $2 million Breeders Cup Fil-
lies and Mares race. Last year,
Monzon finished ninth in the
Belmont.
And what of Tiger Walk, the
fourth-place finisher inthe Wood
Memorial? Trained by Ignaco
Correas, the dark bay son of Tale
of the Cat will have two-time
Preakness winner Kent Desor-
meaux in the saddle.
No doubt, he needs to step
up, Correas said. He will run a
good race because he always
does. But a good race could be a
fourth, or a fifth or a sixth. Were
working on that. Hes giving us
more, but it might not be
enough.
Tiger Walk will wear blinkers
for the first time Saturday, a
change Correas hopes will im-
prove the horses focus.
The always confident Plank
wont predict a victory, but the
other 13 entrants dont concern
him including Kentucky Der-
by winner Ill Have Another.
We won the Breeders Cup
two years ago with a 46-1 long
shot, Plank noted. Nobody
thought that she could do it. But
she won. Thats what makes
horse racing great that lottery
ticket in your pocket.
The39-year-oldPlankknows a
thing or two about pulling of an
upset. Soonafter leavingtheUni-
versity of Maryland, where he
played football, he took on Nike
and Reebok by creating the Un-
der Armour, a sports clothing
and accessories company. Busi-
ness got off to a slow start, but
sales ultimately rocketed and
provided Plank with a multimil-
lion-dollar empire.

Under Armour preps for Preakness

By DAVID GINSBURG
AP Sports Writer
The president of Florida State
University says moving the ath-
letic program from the Atlantic
Coast Conference to the Big 12
has several drawbacks to be con-
sidered.
FSU president Eric Barron
sent an email to those who have
askedhimabout the possibilityof
the Seminoles switching confer-
ences. The email was obtainedby
The Associated Press and several
other news organizations.
He writes that negotiations be-
tween the school and the confer-
ence are not taking place. While
he lays out bothpossible pros and
cons for a move, he makes a
strong case for staying in the
ACC, where the Seminoles have
competed since 1992.
For about the last two weeks
there have been several more re-
ports about Florida State leaving
the ACC. Florida State athletic
director Randy Spetman recently
told the Orlando Sentinel the
school was committed to the
ACC. But Florida State board of
trustees chairman Andy Haggard
told Warchant.com that the
board would be in favor of see-
ing what the Big12 might have to
offer.
The ACC currently has 12
members and will be adding
Pittsburgh and Syracuse as soon
as 2013. The Big 12 has 10 mem-
bers after it replaced Texas A&M
and Missouri, which are headed
to the Southeastern Conference
next season, with West Virginia
and TCU.
I want to assure you that any
decision made about FSU athlet-
ics will be reasoned and thought-
ful and based on athletics, financ-
es andacademics, Barronwrote.
Allow me to provide you with
some of the issues we are facing:
Barron outlined four points
made by those who support a
move:
The ACCis more of a basket-
ball conference than a football
league.
The ACCis too NorthCaroli-
na centric and the conferences
TV contract gives the stronger
basketball schools an advantage.
The Big 12s powerful foot-
ball schools are a better matchfor
Florida State.
The Big 12s impending new
TV contract might make Florida
State $2.9 million more per year
thantheACCs newdeal andFlor-
ida State needs the money.
Barroncounteredthat theACC
shares its football and basketball
revenue equally. The only reve-
nue that is not shared equally is
certain media rights for womens
basketball and Olympic sports,
andthat is toFlorida States bene-
fit.
He also points out that Colora-
do, Missouri, Nebraska and Tex-
as A&M have left the Big 12 over
the past two years because the
conference does not share reve-
nue equally.
Barron wrote the Big 12 is at

ARLINGTON, Va. For quite
some time, Washington Capitals
general manager George McPhee
tried to persuade former player
DaleHunter toreturntotheteam
as its coach. This season,
McPhee finally got his man
just not for very long.
Hunter quit as Washingtons
coach on Monday after less than
six months on the job, saying he
wants to return to his family, his
farm and the junior club he owns
in Canada.
It was the right thing to do,
Hunter said.
He is the owner of the London
Knights of the Ontario Hockey
League, and he was the coach un-
til McPhee beckoned in late No-
vember after firing Bruce Bou-
dreau. Hunters brother Mark
took over as head coach of the
Knights then, and one of Hun-
ters three children is an assist-
ant. Hunters 76-year-old father
scouts for London; his sisters go
to the games; another son lives
nearby while attending college.
Im going home, Hunter said
at the Capitals practice facility, a
couple of hours after delivering
the news to McPhee. Ive got a
good thing going there with the
family, so Ill stay home.
Hunter said he doesnt plan on
returning to the NHL.
He was a successful forward in
the league for 19 seasons one
of only four men whose jersey
numbers were retired by the Cap-
itals; the only player with 1,000
points and 3,000 penalty minutes
in the NHL but never won a
Stanley Cup. Never before an as-
sistant or head coach in the NHL,
or even the AHL, Hunter was
sought by McPhee in hopes he
could bring his on-ice tough
guy persona to
a roster filled
with stars more
likely to make a
prettypass than
drop to the ice
to stop a puck.
He said,
Theres one
way to play, and thats the right
waytoplay, andIll get themplay-
ing the right way. He thought he
could, andhe accomplishedwhat
he thought he could do with
them, McPhee said, and now
theyre on the right path.
Hunter met with McPhee on
Monday, two days after the Cap-
itals were eliminated from the
playoffs in the Eastern Confer-
ence semifinals with a 2-1 loss to
the NewYorkRangers inGame 7.
We couldhave veryeasilywon
that series, McPhee said.
The GM said he didnt try to
change Hunters mind, because
theres no gray in Dales life.
Id rather have him for six
months than not at all, because
he had quite an impact on this
club, McPhee said. He really
taught this club the how of how
to win. They all wanted to win.
They just didnt know how. The
how is being a team and sacri-
ficing, and he sure got that out of
this club.
Hunter went 30-23-7 a .500
recordinthe regular seasonaf-
ter agreeing to a one-year deal to
take over for Boudreau, helping
the Capitals squeeze into the
playoffs. Playing a defense-first,
possession-oriented system with
an emphasis on blocking shots,
Washington eliminated reigning
Stanley Cup champion Boston in
seven games in the first round.
He got everything out of this
team that he could, McPhee
said.

quits, heads home

Gary Zack is No. 1 in Divi-
sion III in the javelin throw,
and hed like to keep it that
way.
Zack (Crestwood), a senior
at Moravian College, is defend-
ing champion in that event and
will be the one to beat at this
years national championships
May 24-26 in Claremont, Calif.
He will be the No. 1 seed en-
tering the meet.
The 5-foot-10, 200-pounder
knows that theres pressure on
him to perform well.
Being the past champion
and the top seed is a huge
pressure, Zack said. There is
added pressure of what com-
petitors, coaches and bystan-
ders will expect. I acknowledge
this pressure, but I am also
very confident in my technique
and strength that I will always
throw well no matter what.
And, Zack is ready for ac-
tion.
My instructor and mentor
Bob Luciano has my body
training to peak for the next
couple of weeks, he said. The
throws will only get bigger as
my body starts to feel better
because the in-season meets
were just training days. I ex-
pect to throw my best at
NCAAs and hopefully the cards
will fall into place.
Zack is hoping to qualify for
the U.S. Nationals and the
Olympic Trials. Hes just three
feet shy of getting there.
Zack also won the discus in
last years ECAC Division III
Championships, which will be
held this weekend in Troy, N.Y.
He wont be defending his title.
The track at RPI doesnt
have a javelin runway so I cant
compete, he said. But we are
going to compete the same day
(The College of New Jersey
Last Chance Meet) and Im
hoping for a big throw.
PAINFUL START FOR FEN-
NELL Britni Fennell (Hazle-
ton Area) had a solid freshman
season with the Penn College
of Technology softball team.
The outfielder-catcher hit
.313 (20-for-64) with two dou-
bles, a triple, five runs scored
and 12 RBI. In the field, she
made seven errors on 128
chances (.945).
The Wildcats saw their two-
year starting catcher graduate
and coach Roger Harris figured
that Fennell would jump into
the spot. But she suffered a
knee injury in the fall and was
a question mark this spring.
We thought about breaking
in another catcher, but Britni
wanted to be out there and she
went out and played with a lot
of pain, Harris said. But she
played through the pain work-
ing hard to get herself back to
the player we knew she was.
Fennell not only did the job
behind the plate but hit in the
cleanup spot for the team,
which finished 6-24
We look for Britni to come-
back healthy and with the
same love, hunger and passion
for the game that she brought
with her this year, Harris said.
CHRISMER, MATES FALL
SHORT Derek Chrismer
(Crestwood) and the DeSales
baseball team saw their bid to
earn a berth in the NCAA
Division III Tournament end
with a 5-3 loss to Misericordia
in the Freedom Conference
Championship last Saturday.
The Bulldogs finished 29-14
and were 17-4 in the Freedom
behind Misericordias 18-3 re-
cord.
Chrismer, an outfielder, hit
.307 (39-for-127) with eight
doubles, 20 RBI and 20 runs
scored. He also had 12 stolen
bases.
The 6-foot junior had 12
multi-hit games and had two
hits, two runs scored and four
RBI in a 10-5 victory over Car-
dinal Stritch and three hits, a
run scored and an RBI in a 6-4
triumph over Eastern.
FRITZGES STREAK ENDS
Elizabethtown junior Eric
Fritzges (Dallas) saw his win-
ning streak end when the Blue
Jays were beaten 5-0 by Johns
Hopkins in the first round of
the NCAA Division III Mens
Tennis Championships last
Saturday. Fritzges had won
eight straight singles matches
at No. 3 heading into the
match.
On the season, Fritzges (Dal-
las) was 13-4 in singles and
18-5 (16-4 in dual matches) in
No. 2 doubles.
For his career, Fritzges has
won 27 singles matches and is
24-15 in doubles play.
Elizabethtown finished the
season 13-7.
OSTROWSKI DOES THE
JOB Junior Chris Ostrowski
of Pittston (Wyoming Semi-
nary) was a key performer
with the Ohio Wesleyan mens
lacrosse team.
The 5-foot-7, 180-pound mid-
fielder, had three goals and two
assists for five points. He tied
for first in caused turnovers
(nine) and tied for second in
ground balls (36).
The Battling Bishops fin-
ished 11-5 after dropping a 7-4
decision to Gettysburg in the
first round of the NCAA Divi-
sion III Tournament.
BIG SEASON FOR MAR-
IANO Right-handed pitcher
Thomas Mariano (Hazleton
Area) had a 5-2 record with a
3.58 earned run average for the
Moravian baseball team. The
6-foot, 160-pound sophomore
pitched in 12 games with 11
starts with two complete
games. He worked 60.1 innings
and gave up 75 hits and 27
runs, 24 earned, with just sev-
en walks and 40 strikeouts.
The Marauders finished 28-
16 with a 14-4 regular-season
record in the Landmark Confer-
ence. They posted a 2-2 record
in the playoffs but were elim-
inated in the Landmark tourna-
ment with a 10-9 loss to Drew.
DEI TOS CHIPS IN Senior
Gabrielle Dei Tos (MMI Prep)
was a member of the Philadel-
phia University womens track
team and had a strong season
this spring, especially in the
relays.
Dei Tos helped the 4x800

legiate Track Conference
Championships with a time of
26.47. She also finished fourth
in the 1,500 (5:10.49).

11th in the CTC race at the
Penn Relays in Philadelphia.

on 92 chances (.978).

gel in the league tournament.

in her debut with the Manhat-
tanville womens lacrosse team.

all 17 games and had 13 goals
and 15 assists for 28 points.
More importantly, she was
second on the team in draw
controls (40) and caused turn-
overs (12) and third in ground

game in a 22-10 victory over
Wilkes in the second-from-last
game of the season. She had
three goals, four assists, five
ground balls, five draw controls
and two caused turnovers.
The Valiants finished 4-13

Side air bag injury probed
Federal safety regulators are investi-
gating a complaint that a car owners
ear was cut in half when a side air bag
inflated in a Hyundai Elantra.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration said Monday on
its website that its investigating to see
if the problem will recur in about
123,000 Elantras from the 2012 model
year.
No recall has been ordered.
Wind farm power line OKd
A huge power transmission line for
wind farms planned off the East Coast
has cleared a regulatory hurdle, al-
though construction is still years away.
The project, known as the Atlantic
Wind Connection, would enable up to
7,000 megawatts of electricity to be
produced at offshore wind farms from
Virginia to New Jersey. Internet giant
Google and other investors have
pledged up to $5 billion for it.
The Interior Department said Mon-
day that no competitor has proposed a
similar project, allowing Atlantic Wind
Connection to move forward knowing
it is likely to secure a federal right-of-
way. Construction of the 380-mile line
could begin as soon as 2014.
Best Buy boss steps down
Best Buy said Monday its founder
Richard Schulze is stepping down as
chairman after an investigation found
that he knew that the CEO was having
a relationship with a female employee
and failed to alert the audit committee.
The company also said that despite
the fact that the committee found that
then-CEO Brian Dunn violated compa-
ny policy by having a close personal
relationship with a female employee,
he gets a severance package worth
about $6.6 million.
Best Buy hired an outside law firm in
March to investigate Dunn, who re-
signed in April. The committee found
that Dunns relationship with a female
employee showed poor judgment, but
he did not misuse company resources
or company aircraft related to the rela-
tionship.
Still, the inquiry showed that
Schulze, who has been with the compa-
ny since its inception in 1966, acted
inappropriately when he found out
about the relationship. He is resigning
and will be replaced by Hatim Tyabji,
chairman of its audit committee.

THISMONTH, Neva-
da made history when
it issueda drivers
license to a car.
More specifically, it
issueda license to a
self-drivenToyota Prius
developedby Google.
The vehicle, sporting a comical roof-
mountedrotating sensor, has been
showncruising aroundtown, demonstra-
ting analmost eerie level of competence
at relatively complex tasks that we hu-
mans struggle withevery day.
The vehicle is equippedwitha LIDAR
laser mapping sensor, radar sensors,
GPS, internal cameras, anextensive
street database andanartificial intelli-
gence.
Using these technologies, it canmap
its surroundings, locate a destination
andfindthe best route, all the while
evaluating anddealing withother driv-
ers, intersections andobstacles withonly
occasional humanintervention.
Google has toutedits driverless car
concept as one that will help to reduce
driving-relateddeathandinjury and
increase energy efficiency.
The driverless cars have already trav-
eledover1,000 miles without human
intervention, andnearly140,000 miles
withoccasional intervention.
But there are some bumps onthe road
to everyday use, ones that the driverless
car will be unable to overcome by itself.
Every traffic lawonthe books assumes
a personis operating the vehicle. Insur-
ance companies make that assumption
as well.
There are also some questions that
needto be answered:
What happens whena driverless car
crashes into a building, another vehicle
or hits a personwhile onautopilot? Is
the manufacturer responsible?
Canthe driver thensue the car
company? What happens whentwo
driverless cars collide?
If a personsees that the vehicle is
about to get into anaccident andin-
terferes, andthe vehicle crashes anyway,
are they thenaccountable?
These are all challenges that will no
doubt be overcome eventually. Andif
most or all of the vehicles onthe roadare
primarily computer controlled, it is
indeedvery likely that crashes, many of
whichare causedby humans doing
stupidor unexpectedthings, would
become less frequent. After all, many
passenger aircraft take off, landandfly
onautopilot, withonly taxiing requiring
humanintervention.
But if driverless cars come into general
use, there will be a protractedtime
where there are many more human-
operatedvehicles thandriverless vehi-
cles.
Insome cases, I canlook at a vehicle
andmake anassessment as to whether
the personis likely to be a gooddriver or
not. The computer cant.
Idbet money that a humanis probably
better at actually avoiding another per-
sons unpredictable actionthana com-
puter is.
For better or worse, computers now
have anonramp into anarea that was,
until very recently, the exclusive domain
of humans.
It looks like well have to learnto share
the road inthe most literal way pos-
sible.

Jamie Dimon came clean to stock analy-

for a $2 billion trading mistake. Next he
faces the shareholders, who have takena
big hit fromthe banks blunder.
DimontravelstoTampa, Fla., todayfor
the JPMorganannual meeting, where he

Since the 2008 financial crisis, share-
holder meetings have been colorful af-
fairs, a mix of defensive CEOs and plac-
ard-wielding protesters. The timing of
the JPMorganmeetingadds a layer of in-
trigue.
JPMorgan stock was down almost 2
percent on Monday, a much bigger de-
cline than the broader market. It had al-
ready lost almost 10 percent of its value
on Friday, the day after Dimon disclosed
the trading mistake.
On Monday, Ina Drew, the executive
responsible for trading strategy at
JPMorgan Chase and one of the highest-
ranking women in Wall Street, became
the first casualty of the banks stunning
loss.
The bank said that Drew, 55, the chief
investment officer for the bank and a 30-
yearveteranof thecompany, wouldretire
and be replaced by Matt Zames, an exec-
utive inJPMorgans investment bank.

CEO must face shareholders
By PALLAVI GOGOI
AP Business Writer
Chesapeake Energy may be focus-
ing on drilling in the Marcellus and
Utica shales after company execu-
tives told investors Monday they
plan to focus on oil- and liquids-rich
holdings and slow their rapid-fire
land acquisitions.
In the latest conference call hop-
ing to calm skittish investors and
share prices, Chesapeake chief exec-
utive officer AubreyMcClendonsaid
his firm will temper land grabs and
focus on shale acreage like that in
Appalachia that comes loaded with
lucrative natural-gas liquids and oil.
McClendon is under pressure
frominvestors who say his company
is borrowing and leveraging assets
at an unsustainable rate.
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Jour-
nal reported that activist investor
Carl Icahn has bought Chesapeake
shares in an effort to force change at
the company. Such purchases are
not yet reflected in public Securities
and Exchange Commission filings.
Icahnhas beenknownto purchase
shares when theyre low and de-
mand a management or strategy
change at the company.
Shares of the company plunged
late Friday when executives stalled
in releasing a quarterly earnings re-
port but recovered somewhat Mon-
day to close at 15.52, up 4.79 per-
cent.

night and today
will be enough to
bring the total
so far this spring
much closer to
normal and in
some areas
above normal.
From 1.2 to 2
inches of rain
should come
with this storm,
and we still can't
rule out some
thunder for
today. Later
today, the rain-
fall will diminish
and skies may

will greatly
improve the

Q: With the increase
in anti-smoking edu-
cation and ad cam-
paigns, are fewer
children smoking
today than in the
past? Are young peo-
ple today getting the
message?
W.K., Lima, Ohio
A: According to the recently released
2012 report from U.S. Surgeon General
Regina Benjamin, despite all the anti-
smoking education in place, young
people are smoking at rates far greater
than adults. According to the report,
nearly 25 percent of high school se-
niors are current smokers, compared to
33 percent of young adults, and approx-
imately 20 percent of adults. Worse yet,
about 1 in 10 male high school seniors
use highly addictive smokeless tobacco
and about 1 in 5 smoke cigars. Every
day, 1,200 Amer-
icans die from smok-
ing and each of
those people are
replaced by two
young smokers.
The key to getting
a handle on this
serious public health
problem is preven-
tion: Among adults
who smoke daily, 88
percent smoked
their first cigarette
before their 18th
birthday, and more
than 99 percent did
so before their 26th
birthday. If we can
get young people to
remain tobacco-free
until theyre age 26, fewer than 1 per-
cent of them will ever start.
Young people are impressionable,
and even though the 1998 Master Set-
tlement Agreement with the tobacco
companies restricts the way tobacco
can be marketed, the report found that
one-third of the top-grossing childrens
movies in 2010 contained images of
smoking.
Possible strategies to reduce the
incidence of smoking include increased
funding for anti-smoking education and
tobacco cessation programs; more
graphic warning labels on tobacco
products; increased smoke-free public
areas; and steep price increases on all
tobacco products.
Q: What causes a brain freeze?
Why do we get them?
S.F., Pleasantville, N.J.
A: Heres what happens: When you
eat or drink something really cold, tiny
sensory nerves embedded in the roof of
your mouth send a signal to the brain
of a very cold temperature. These nerv-
es help to control how much blood
flows through the brain. Cold causes
the blood vessels in the brain to dilate
to increase their blood flow and heat
the brain. The nerves have sent a signal
to the brain in error that its cold out-
side and extra blood needs to be direct-
ed to the brain. After a period of time
lasting from a few seconds to a few
minutes, the brain realizes that the
signal was a false alarm and the head-
ache goes away as the blood vessels
reduce their dilation. The greatest risk
of getting these headaches is on a hot
day. Those who suffer from migraine
headaches are more prone to ice cream
headaches because they have an exag-
gerated blood vessel response to vari-
ous noxious stimuli like cold temper-
atures, odors and foods.
Most well-known tip for avoiding a
brain freeze is to keep cold foodstuff
away from the roof of your mouth,
since thats where the trigger is.
What can be done once you have an
ice cream headache? Since they usually
last only a few minutes, pain pills wont
help. Warming the roof of your mouth
is what works best. Try pressing your
thumb firmly against the roof of your
mouth. Or drink a warm liquid thats at
least at room temperature to send a
signal to the brain that it can reduce
blood flow because freezing is not
imminent.

ALNUTCREEK, Calif. James Revier, of SanJose, Calif., hadno
idea his heartburn was anything more than a nuisance until six
years ago, when a piece of beef became logged in his esophagus
and sent him to the emergency room. The on-call internist re-
moved the meat and suggested Revier see a gastroenterologist for the lin-
gering redness. Its a good thing he did. Revier had developed Barretts eso-
phagus, a condition caused by prolonged acid reflux. Over time, it produces
cellular changes which can lead to adenocarcinoma, a type of esophageal
cancer. Id had acid reflux for 15 years but never thought much about it,
says Revier, now 64. Everybody talks about having heartburn.
Scary, isnt it? A condition as common as
the cold can cause cancer. An even scarier
thought is that antacids like Nexium, the No.
2prescribeddrugin2010, accordingtohealth
data firmIMS, wont prevent it. And the obes-
ity epidemic is only exacerbating the prob-
lem, making esophageal cancer the fastest
growing cancer diagnosis in the United
States, up 300 to 400 percent since the1970s,
says Reviers physician, Dr. Ann Chen, direc-
tor of endoscopic ultrasound at Stanford Uni-
versity School of Medicine.
If caught early, however, Barretts esophagus
is treatable. Thats why Chen and other health
advocates are launching public awareness
campaigns urging patients, especially white
males older than50withpersistent heartburn,
to have an endoscopy, a procedure to examine
the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract.
Heartburn is a way of your body telling
you theres something wrong, says Chen, as-
sistant professor of gastroenterology at Stan-
fordUniversity School of Medicine. Unfortu-
nately, enough physicians dont ask about it,
and patients dont tell.
While there have been significant medical
and surgical advances in the treatment of
esophageal cancer, the survival rate is still
grim. The National Cancer Institute esti-
mates 17,500 new cases and 15,000 deaths in

Acupuncture works for me.
That seemingly strange
treatment where a trained and
licensed practitioner sticks
needles about my body has
been practiced for centuries in
Asia. It is used to treat most
pain conditions including
lower back pain, shingles and
other nerve pain, hand and
knee pain, headaches, fibro-
myalgia and menstrual pain.
Official research on the effec-
tiveness of acupuncture pro-
duces mixed results, according
to the Harvard Healthbeat
newsletter.
But my experience has been
positive, although I would cau-
tion that results might take as
many as 12 treatments.
Traditional Chinese acupunc-
ture involves the insertion of
extremely fine needles into the
skin at specific acupoints
along the bodys meridians.
This action can result in pain re-
lief by releasing endorphins,
the bodys natural painkilling
chemicals, and might affect the
part of the brain that governs
serotonin levels, the brain
transmitter involved with
mood, the Harvard newsletter
says.
Edward Lamadrid, a Spanish-
heritage doctor of acupuncture
and founder of Integrative
Health Studio in Chicago, has
spent three decades studying
alternative and complementary
medicine. He is more direct.

BLOOD DRIVES
2012. By comparison, of the
226,000 new cases of breast can-
cer projected for this year, 39,000
cases will likely end in death.
Only one in five people diag-
nosed with esophageal cancer
will survive five years, according
to Mindy Mintz Mordechai of the
Esophageal Cancer Action Net-
work, a Baltimore-basednonprof-
it dedicated to raising awareness
about the link between esopha-
geal cancer and acid reflux.
We want the link between
heartburn and cancer to become
as well-known and understood as
the need to wear sunscreen when
outdoors, says Mordechai, who
lost her husband, Monte, to
esophageal cancer in 2008. He
lived with acid reflux for years,
and, like most people, treated it
with over-the-counter medica-
tions. By the time he was exam-
ined and diagnosed with Stage 3
adenocarcinoma, the acid was so
persistent that he would choke
when lying down, Mordechai
says. He also had other advanced
symptoms, such as a hoarse
voice, chronic cough, choking on
food and pain while swallowing.
Robert Rose, of San Ramon,
Calif., knew something was
wrong when he developed a bub-
ble in his throat every time he
wanted to swallow. An endosco-
py during a routine screening re-
vealed esophageal cancer. Subse-
quent surgery revealed 14 malig-
nant lymph nodes.
Since his diagnosis in 2010,
Rose has had chemotherapy and
surgery to remove his esophagus
and construct a newone fromhis
stomach.
Ive had an acidic stomach
sinceI was16, says Rose, now81.
I used to pop Tums like candy.
Rose was also significantly
overweight and drank alcohol
regularly, factors that increase
the chance of developing esoph-
ageal cancer, says his physician,
Dr. Wilson Tsai, co-director of
the thoracic surgery program at
John Muir Hospital in Walnut
Creek, Calif. Smoking and not
eating vegetables are also
thought to be culprits.
Obesity canbe a factor because
as you get bigger, the hole in the
diaphragm gets wider, distorting
the lower esophageal sphincter
and causing more acid to splash
up, Tsai says.
Proton pump inhibitors, such
as Nexium, only neutralize or re-
duce stomach acid. They mask
the problem, Tsai says.
Its like having a screw loose,
he explains. If you take some-
thing to mitigate the symptoms,
you might not hear the screw
anymore, but its still loose.
Tsai says patients with chronic
acidrefluxor hiatal hernia, which
can cause acid reflux, should fix
the problem with a minimally in-
vasive surgery that strengthens
the valve between the esophagus
and stomach and stops acid from
backing up into the esophagus.
While there is no guarantee
against cancer, surgery may have
prevented Revier from develop-
ing Barretts esophagus.
Its one of those things that
quietly eats away at you and
changes the cells over time, he
says. Im just glad I did some-
thing about it.
HEARTBURN
Continued from Page 1C
MCT PHOTO
Robert Rose, 81, is battling esophageal cancer. He had suffered
from constant heartburn for years. He is shown at his home in
San Ramon, Calif.
According to the American College
of Gastroenterology, it is estimat-
ed that more than 60 million
Americans experience heartburn
at least once a month. Some stud-
ies have suggested that more than
15 million Americans experience
symptoms each day.
We put our money behind those
numbers. In 2010, Americans spent
$6.2 billion on Nexium, which is
prescribed to treat gastroesoph-
ageal reflux disease, or GERD,
making it the No. 2 top-selling
drug behind Lipitor, the choles-
terol medication.

painful, he says. The needle is
so fine and thin, it parts but does
not puncture like a shot needle
does, he says. Acupuncture
can actually be very relaxing.
Q: When I have a treatment,
the practitioner attaches electri-
cal stimulation to the needles
and leaves me for half an hour. I
usually sleep deeply. Why is
that?
A: That indicates the treat-
ment is working. The rationale
behind acupuncture is that stag-
nation creates the pain
through a slowdown of the chi
or energy.
First the doctor overlays a me-
ridian system on the body and
primarily uses that system as
the highway. Theres a light out,
a traffic jam if you will, and you
may be asked to point to where
the pain exists.
An acupuncturist typically in-
serts four to10 needles and leav-
es them in place about 30 min-
utes.
Chinese or Oriental medicine
is known for pain relief, but
theres actually more to it. We
are working on the core energy
system. Western medicine just
treats the physical system.
Q: Is Chinese medicine the
idea of focusing on the core en-
ergy system generally ac-
cepted?
A: There are a lot of support-
ers of Chinese medicine in the
Western medical community. It
is probably more acceptable on
the West Coast, where it is more
common, than the Midwest.
Q: What do your patients tell
you about their treatment?
A: Many say it is good for
more than pain. A lot of them
say they feel like they have had
an hours massage. I want your
entire body to feel better. Thats
the point of holistic medicine.
To me, it is all related from
shoulder pain to digestion, for
example. Western medicine is
very compartmentalized by
comparison.
Q: This is an out-of-pocket
treatment for most patients,
right?
A: Some insurance plans cov-
er acupuncture. Medicare does
not.
Q: Whats the best way to lo-
cate a good practitioner?
A: Same as for any health pro-
fessional word of mouth. You
cant learn acupuncture in a
weekend. It is a four-year study
program before state board li-
censing.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My
friend, Max, cheats
at golf. He moves his
ball closer to the hole
on the green and im-
proves his lie when
he thinks no one is
looking. I have tried
to overlook Maxs transgressions, but
others in our golf group talk and joke
behind his back. How should I go
about stopping the problem?
Florida Golfer
Dear Golfer: What you have de-
scribed is considered a terrible breach
of golf etiquette. Because you feel
close to him, take him aside and tell
him privately as a friend that its time
to knock off the cheating because hes
making himself a laughingstock.
Dear Abby: I have been part of a
book club for almost 20 years. We
began as a group of six teachers who
wanted to share our friendship and
love of reading. Over the years, mem-
bers have come and gone, but five of
the original group remains.
Our dilemma is that many of the
women dont bother to read the
monthly selection but still attend the
meetings. Granted, the meetings are
very social. Everyone brings food to
enjoy while we discuss books and
anything else going on in our lives.
However, the core group finds it an-
noying when some members dont
even attempt to read. It happens
month after month.
We have said on many occasions we
expect everyone to read. Our discus-
sions are livelier and more interesting
when everyone shares her thoughts,
but some dont make the effort or
threaten to drop out of the book club.
We dont want anyone to drop out.
We are all friends. Are we expecting
too much because as teachers we re-
gard it as a homework assignment
not being completed? What can we
do? Id like your opinion so I can
share it at the book club.
Pennsville, N.J., Reader
Dear Reader: If certain members of
your book club are no longer reading
and regard the gatherings as social af-
fairs, why not make some of the meet-
ings say, every other month de-
voted solely to discussing the book
you are reading, while the rest will
be strictly social? There will be less
disappointment for the readers, and
you can still meet as friends without
anyone being inconvenienced.
Dear Abby: I have a good friend, Re-
nee, who is Canadian and a perma-
nent resident of the United States. We
dont always agree on things, but one
thing really bugs me about her. Shes
always saying how nice Canadians
are and how rude Americans are.
On a recent trip we took to Canada,
she commented about a cashier who
was nice to us by saying, That ca-
shier wouldnt have been so nice if we
were in America. When I try to point
out evidence to the contrary, Renee
shrugs it off and calls it an exception
to the rule.
How should I politely ask her to
knock off bashing Americans?
Love It Or Leave It
Dear Love It Or Leave It: Do it by
politely pointing out to Renee that
it is rude to make comments that
make others uncomfortable, and if
Canadians are as nice as she says
they are and that includes her
shell quit putting down Americans
because you find it offensive.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Cheating golfer is embarrassing himself and should finally come clean
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).
Butterflies can fly because their
whole modus operandi is to
travel lightly. You have no inten-
tion of making a bigger deal than
needs to be made.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Exercise can be anything you
want it to be. There are many
reasons why youll feel the need
to get moving, the least of which
is to burn calories. Youll think
better when youre in motion.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youre
not in a very ambitious mood,
and you feel happier because
of this. One small goal is all you
presently need. After a while, all
of your small goals will add up to
a big accomplishment.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
act that will heal you isnt com-
plicated or expensive. Its not a
grand life event or a sweeping
gesture. The act that will heal
you is as simple, small and free
as laughter.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Reading
about life in books isnt the same
as getting actual experience.
Also, youre likely to be misled
by the one who spreads hearsay.
So seek counsel instead from the
one with personal experience.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Moods
are what happen when feelings
multiply. Because moods are
more pervasive than feelings,
they are more powerful. So pick
a good one; stay cheerful and
amused.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have
a sense of urgency that may feel
like unwelcome pressure, but it
doesnt have to be experienced
as such. Urgency can be your
ally.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youre
constantly meeting new people,
and today will be no exception.
Choosing the right person to
further your interests will be a
matter of intuition.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Your creativity is boundless.
Thats why you dont mind set-
ting a few limitations in order to
home in on your work. Ideally,
what you produce will be both
novel and useful.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youll do something for the
intrinsic reward of doing it. Then
something interesting happens:
More rewards come forth, the
likes of which you wouldnt have
expected.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The events of the day will have
a way of refreshing your joy.
Wherever you find a kernel of
happiness, nurture it by repeat-
ing the formula that led to your
good feeling.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you
havent accomplished what you
wanted to accomplish, its no
cause for alarm or self-imposed
punishment. Instead, its a cause
for compassion.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 15).
Your excitement about this new
phase of life will grow as you
recognize the benefits of being
your age. There are things you
couldnt do before that you
can do now. Your talent will be
showcased in June and again
in October, and each time your
performance will lead to a raise.
Many want you on their team in
July. Pisces and Scorpio people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 50, 12, 48, 4 and 23.
