WILKES-BARRE A county
audit of bills submitted by an at-
torney who admitted to double
billing the county showed the
amount of overcharges was less
thanthosefoundbyanauditorthe
attorney hired to examine her
bills, Luzerne County Controller
Walter GriffithsaidMonday.
Griffith said the county audit
showed attorney Angela Stevens
overcharged a total of $51,194 for
thepreparationanddeliveryof fee
petitions, whereas the audit per-
formed by Forensic Resolutions
Inc. of New Jersey determined
thoseovercharges were$55,049.
Griffith noted he did not have
access to bills from December
2011 to February 2012 that were
never submitted for payment by
Stevens. He said he believes the
figuresbetweenthetwoauditsare
close enough that the county
should accept the Forensic Reso-
lutions findings and not hire its
own forensic auditor, which
would cost $22,000 to $46,500,
basedonproposals that were sub-
mitted.
I think our report is compara-
ble enoughtosay we are comfort-
able with the Forensic Resolu-
tions audit, Griffith said. To go
out and spend another $40,000
wouldbeawasteof taxpayermon-
ey. If we find another $10,000,
whatarewegoingtogainfromit?

For the first time since the states
electricity rate caps expired in 2010,
PPL Electric will raise its price-to-
compare rates beginning June 1.
But even with the 15 percent in-
crease, the average PPL residential
customer will still pay less this sum-
mer than last summer or at any point
since Jan. 1, 2010.
The new price-to-compare rate,
which the Public Utility Commission
did not object to, will be 7.993 cents
per kilowatt-hour (kWh), up from
6.935 cents per kilowatt-hour cur-
rently. For the average residential
customer using 1,000 kWh per
month, the increase equates to about
$10.50 each month.
Prices have been kept down since
the states rate caps expired in 2010,
thanks largely to competition and
the natural gas industry.
When natural gas rates are down,
the price of electricity is down,
noted Irwin Sonny Popowsky, the
states consumer advocate.
Kurt Blumenau, a PPL spokesman,
said for the last year or so, the boom
in natural gas has driven down the
cost of wholesale energy. But he
said power prices usually increase
in the summer on the wholesale mar-
ket. Its a time of peak demand.
Even though the new price to com-
pare, which is a combination of gen-
eration and transmission prices, is

The Luzerne County prison
systems five-dog K-9 unit has
shrunkwiththreelayoffs, leaving
the future of the special program
up in the air.
Budgetary cuts forced 61 lay-
offs in March, including18 at the
county prison. Prison Warden
Joe Piazza gave up three K-9 offi-
cers and other staffers because
his 2012 budget was reduced
from $28.6 million to $26.9 mil-
lion.
Nine-year-old canine Rocky re-
tired and was sold to his fur-
loughedK-9 sergeant for $1, Piaz-
za said.
The other two furloughed K-9
officers still work for the county
because they exercised their
unionrights to bumpinto correc-
tions officer positions held by
workers with less seniority, but
their dogs -- 6-year-old Wyatt and
Brutus -- remain off duty.
Piazza does not know if Wyatt
and Brutus will return to work.
Handlers must keep the dogs
at their homes. The prison cov-
ers their food, veterinary care
and training in case one of the
two remaining K-9 positions be-
comes vacant or funding allows
K-9positions tobe restored, Piaz-
za said.
Jails K-9 unit dogged by layoffs
Budget cuts cause prison to
give up 3 of 5 dogs. One sold;
two more are off duty.

Columbia County buyouts
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta said Mon-
day almost three dozen flood-dam-
aged homes in Columbia County will
be bought out at a total project cost
of almost $3.8 million.
These 34 sub-
stantially damaged
structures will be
acquired and de-
molished to reduce
future flood dam-
age, according to
the Federal Emer-
gency Management
Agency.
The total project
cost is $3,784,094, with the federal
share being $2,838,070.
Twenty-three properties are in
Fernville, Hemlock Township and 11
properties are in Bloomsburg; the
total project cost of these buyouts is
$1,679,091.
FEMA obligates the funding di-
rectly to the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, which then funds the
eligible recipients. The buyouts are
funded through FEMAs Hazard
Mitigation Grant Program.
These buyouts are great news for
property owners who have been
flooded, Barletta, R-Hazleton, said
in a press release.

WILKES-BARRE Aman ar-
rested Friday by city police on a
decade-old homicide warrant
in Texas is not the suspect
wanted for a deadly 2002 shoot-
ing, a Fort Worth police official
said Monday.
Rafael Munoz, 39, of Ridge
Street, Newport Township,
told reporters at his arraign-
ment last
week that po-
lice had the
wrong man
again. He said
he has been
detained and
released four
or five times
about the homicide in Fort
Worth.
Fort Worth police Sgt. Pedro
Criado said Monday that Mu-
noz is not the homicide suspect
wanted for a fatal shooting in
2002. Criadosaidthat once Mu-
nozs fingerprints and photo-
graph were analyzed, he was
ruled out as the suspect.
Munoz was arrested Friday
whenoff-duty city police officer
Jeremy Sereyka assisted em-
ployees at the Home Depot,
stopping Munoz from stealing
a gas grill valued at $199.99.
Munoz did not have identifi-
cation and seemed unsure
when giving his name and date
of birth to police.
Officer James Conmy took
Munoz to the Kingston Police
Department, where an elec-
tronic fingerprint check deter-
mined several aliases and the
homicide warrant in Fort
Worth, according to the crimi-
nal complaint.
City police sent the finger-
prints and Munozs photograph
to Fort Worth police, which
confirmed Friday the homicide
warrant under the alias Celso
Munoz.
But Munoz toldreporters Fri-
day that police made a mistake.
This is like the fourth, fifth
time that Texas wanted me, but
when they took my photo
they released me. Its a big mis-
take, Munoz said.
He told the district judge at
his arraignment that it was a
case of someone else using his
identity. He also said he has
never been to Texas.
Munozs $1 million bail on
the fugitive from justice charge
was dismissed.
He remains jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Fa-
cility for lack of $5,000 bail on
the retail theft charge.
The outstanding arrest war-
rant stems froma fatal shooting
10 years ago. The Fort Worth
Star-Telegram reported on
March 31, 2002, that a man was
shot and killed in a parking lot
of an apartment complex.

SCRANTON Attorneys for
Anthony Lupas have filed a mo-
tion seeking to have him exam-
ined to determine his compe-
tency to stand trial on charges
he stole money
from a client
through a bo-
gus invest-
ment scheme,
according to
court papers
filed Monday.
Attorneys
William Ruzzo
and Joseph Blazosek filed a doc-
ument that states the U.S. Attor-
neys Office has concurred with
their motion seeking an exam-
ination and competency hear-
ing for Lupas.
Lupas, 77, of Plains Town-
ship, was indicted by a grand ju-
ry on May1on one count of mail
fraud for allegedly stealing
more than $246,000 from a cli-
ent. At his arraignment on May
3, his attorneys indicated they
had a report from a physician
that led them to believe he does
not have the ability to under-
stand the charges against him.
The motion seeking the ex-
amination was not available
Monday. Ruzzo and Blazosek
filed court documents on Fri-
day, but they could not be
viewed because they were filed
under seal.
Lupas was initially arrested in
March based on a criminal com-
plaint filed by federal prosecu-
tors. The indictment charges
him with stealing from one per-
son, but attorneys representing
numerous other people also al-
lege they were victimized.

on a cause close to the Carters
hearts restoring historic
buildings in and improving

residents.
Most recently, the Cooks
raised money for a 3-by-6-foot
stained-glass window made by
local artisans Ben Kasmark and
Malcolm Kosek of Kasmark &
Marshall Inc. in Luzerne.
Kasmark and Kosek deliver-
ed and installed the window
with the presidential seal at the
Plains Historic Inn and An-
tique Mall on Main Street in
November.
The Cooks in April 2011host-
ed an auction in Plains Town-
ship to which the Carters do-
nated several of their posses-
sions and memorabilia. The
Carters attended the auction
along with a contingent from
the Plains Better Hometown
Program.
The bus trip, Larry Cook
said, is just one idea that we
had to get some people from
our community to now visit
Plains, Ga., seeing that Presi-
dent and Mrs. Carter and sever-
al others had visited us last
year.
Diane Cook said the four-day
excursion, with transportation
by Stucker Tours of Pittston,
will embark on Thursday, June
7, and return on June 11. She
said some seats are still availa-
ble.
The Cooks dont yet know
the exact location of the bar-
beque, but they do know it will
be on a farm in Plains.
Bus trip attendees also will
tour the former high school at-
tended by President and Mrs.
Carter, which is now the Plains
Museum. They will also attend
a National Park Service tour of
the boyhood home of President
Carter, Diane Cook said.
History is just everywhere
you look in that little town,
Larry Cook said.
In addition to the barbeque
and tours, Larry Cook said at-
tendees will be able to attend
church services where Presi-
dent and Mrs. Carter attend
church and theyll be able to
hear President Carter give one
of his famous Sunday school
lessons at the church, which is
a very nice experience.

Luzerne County Council
members are preparing to de-
bate the pros and cons of keep-
ing elected tax collectors.
The new home rule charter
is silent on tax collectors,
leaving council with the op-
tion to stop using them to col-
lect county taxes.
Under the prior govern-
ment system, a state legisla-
tion change was necessary to
eliminate tax collectors in
municipalities that werent
home-rule or cities.
County Council Chairman
Jim Bobeck put the matter on
tonights council agenda un-
der the heading of future
items that must be discussed.
Initial debate is tentatively
planned for the May 29 work
session, the agenda says.
Bobeck said council also
may decide to continue using
tax collectors and reduce
their pay. Keeping collectors
at the same pay is the third op-
tion, he said.
The countys 69 elected col-
lectors receive $3.50 per
county tax bill, including un-
collected bills that must be
processed as owed. The coun-
ty will spend about $400,000
on tax collectors this year, ac-
cording to the budget.
Council must make a deci-
sion by the end of the year be-
cause tax collector seats
would be on the 2013 election
ballot, Bobeck said.
Bobeck has said he would
like to review what has been
done in other counties and
how much money the county
could save by collecting in-
house or through outside
companies.
It will require extensive re-
search. Its important to at
least put people on notice that
this is coming up for discus-
sion, he said.
Tax collectors campaigned
against the home rule charter
in 2010 because it didnt re-
quire the county to retain
them.
The old government system
allowed pay alterations the
year before tax collector elec-
tions, but suggestions to low-
er the pay never gained trac-
tion among prior commission-
er boards.
Former county commis-
sioner Todd Vonderheid had
proposed lowering tax collec-
tors pay before the 2005 tax
collector election, but he
couldnt get a second vote af-
ter the collectors publicly ob-
jected.
The collectors have empha-
sized they receive no benefits
and provide valuable interac-
tion with property owners
who have questions and con-
cerns.

PLAINSTWP. -- Amotiontoal-
low rotation of the superintend-
ent of record at the Wilkes-Barre
Career & Technical Center end-
ed with no resolution after heat-
ed discussion Monday.
Crestwood representative
Gene Mancins motion would
have rotated the duties of the su-
perintendent of recordresponsib-
ilities among the superintend-
ents of the five sendingschools in
two-year terms.
Board members said those du-
ties have belonged exclusively to
the superintendent of Wilkes-
Barre Area, which sends the
largest number of students to the
school, for at least the last 40
years.
Mancini saidhe thought the re-
cently announced retirement of
Wilkes-Barre Area Superintend-
ent Jeffrey Namey offered a good
opportunity to make the change.
This is not a shot at Dr.
Namey or anyone else, Mancini
said. This is just a chance to
make the change going forward.
Several members disagreed
and tempers flared as the board
first tried to table Mancinis mo-
tion, but Wilkes-BarreArearepre-
sentative Robert Corcorans mo-
tion to postpone ended locked in
a 4-4 vote.
Wilkes-Barre Area representa-
tive John Quinn said, This is a
major seismic move and youre
doing it without at least three
people here whoI knowwouldgo
our way.
Mancinis motion called for his
proposal to go back to all five
sending schools before becoming
final, and he and several others
who favored it worried delay
would make it impossible to
make the change for the start of
the new school year.
Wilkes-Barre Area representa-
tive LynnEvans, whodidnot sup-
port tabling the motion, suggest-
ed the meet in July to alleviate
the time crunch. Mancini with-
drew his original motion.
After the meeting, he said he
would await further review and
clarification on the by legal coun-
sel before proceeding.

SCRANTON -- A joint re-
lease issued Monday after-
noon by The University of
Scranton and The Common-
wealth Medical College an-
nounced the two schools have
ended discussions pertaining
to a possible affiliation.
After careful thought and
thorough analysis assisted by
national experts, we have de-
cided to end affiliation dis-
cussions and commit our-
selves to strengthening and
expanding the various forms
of collaboration that have
marked our relationship since
TCMC was founded, the
two-paragraph release stated.
While disappointed in this
outcome, we move forward
with mutual respect, having
reinforced our connection
through this process.
The release was signed by
Kevin P. Quinn, president of
The University of Scranton,
and Dr. Lois Margaret Nora,
the dean and interim presi-
dent of TCMC.
The two schools have spent
the past year in formal discus-
sions about an affiliation that
was spurred on, in part, by a
notification the medical col-
lege received last summer
from the Liaison Committee
on Medical Education, which
accredits MD-granting pro-
grams.
The Scranton-based school
was informed it would be put
on probation because of fi-
nancial difficulties.
The school indicated it was
considering an affiliation
with another institution, such
as a hospital or university.
While noting the potential
advantages an affiliation
could bring to both institu-
tions, we recognized that
complex questions and issues
would need to be resolved to
move forward, the statement
began, Our threshold for
success in these discussions
was to establish a model for
affiliation that would strong-
ly ensure the continued vital-
ity and success of both insti-
tutions and our respective
missions and aspirations.
The medical college, which

U of Scranton, TCMC end affiliation talks
By ANDREWM. SEDER
aseder@timesleader.com AstheU.S. SupremeCourtdelib-
erates on whether the Patient Pro-
tection and Affordable Care Act is
unconstitutional, residents
throughout the region are pre-
paredtomaketheirfeelingsknown
publicly with a June 8 rally in
Scranton.
Mary Ann Haas, of West Scran-
ton, wouldliketoseetheentirePa-
tient Protection and Affordable
Care Act thrown out and have
themstart fromscratch. She said
itsnot apro-lifematter, thoughshe
supports that viewpoint, and its
not a health care issue.
ItsnotaCatholicissue; itsnota
contraceptive issue. Its strictly if
someonecanforceyoutodosome-
thing, then whats the next step?
asked Haas.
Whiletherearepieces of thelaw
that manysupport -- includingcov-
ering pre-existing conditions and
allowing children to stay on a par-
ents insurance into their 20s --
there is one part that has drawnire
from the religious and other who
want government tostayout of the
private sector.
A mandate that all employers,
even religious-based ones like hos-
pitals and colleges, offer free con-
traceptives, surgical sterilizations
and abortion-inducing drugs
through their health plans, regard-
less of religious or moral convic-
tions, has caused consternation
fromthe Catholic Church.
On Monday 43 Catholic groups,
including the archdioceses of
Washington, D.C., and New York,
and Notre Dame and Catholic uni-
versities, filed suit challenging a
federal mandate on contraception.
The organizations say the ad-
ministrations contraceptive re-
quirement would compel them to
violate church teaching.
Theyrebeingforcedtoprovide
services that contradict teachings
of their faith, Haas said of the law
often referred to as Obamacare.
So a nationwide rally is planned
toallowthoseopposedtotheman-
date to be heard. The Scranton
Stand Up for Religious Freedom
Rally will begin at noon on Cour-
thouse Square along North Wash-
ingtonAvenueacrossfromtheWil-
liamJ. Nealon Federal Building.
The June 8 Rally coincides with
the 223rd anniversary of the day
JamesMadisonintroducedtheBill
of Rights to the First Congress, in-
cluding what would become the
First Amendment granting free-
domof religion.
Were standing up for the First
Amendment and demanding that
all our healthcarelaws respect reli-
gious freedom, Haas said.
A rally was held in Scranton on
March 23, which saw a few
hundred people attend. Haas said
shes hoping the warmer weather
andtimeproximitytotheSupreme
Courts ruling, which is set to be
made by the endof June, will draw
a larger crows this time.
Rally focus on Obamacare

JACKSON, MISS.
Guard dead in prison riot
A
s many as 300 inmates, some of
them armed with makeshift weap-
ons such as broomsticks, rioted at a
privately run prison for illegal immi-
grants, beating a guard to death and
injuring 19 people, a sheriff said Mon-
day.
More than two dozen officers were
held hostage at some point during the
hours-long spate of violence Sunday,
including a group of 15 who had to be
rescued by special response teams,
Adams County Sheriff Chuck Mayfield
said. A gang fight set off the violence,
the sheriff said. The guard was killed
on the roof of one of the prison build-
ings.
BIREH, LEBANON
Syrian strife spreads
Syrias war barreled over the border
with an angry, raucous funeral Monday
for an anti-Syrian cleric whose killing
set off a night of deadly street battles in
Beirut and raised fears that Lebanon is
getting drawn into the chaos afflicting
its neighbor.
The violence is a reflection of Leba-
nons political dysfunction, a legacy of
years of civil war when the country
became a proxy battleground for other
nations. Lebanon walks a fragile fault
line over Syria, which had troops on
the ground here for nearly 30 years
until 2005 and still has strong ties to
Lebanons security services.
To many observers, it was only a
matter of time before the violence in
Syria infected Lebanon. The U.N. esti-
mates the Syrian conflict has killed
more than 9,000 people since March
2011, when President Bashar Assad
started cracking down on a popular
uprising.
The Syrian regime is seeking to sow
chaos in Lebanon! Khaled Daher, a
Sunni member of parliament, said
during a fiery speech Monday at the
funeral for Sheik Ahmed Abdul-Wahid,
the slain anti-Syrian cleric. But we will
not be scared.
BUFFALO, N.Y.
Man survives Niagara fall
Authorities say a man plunged at
least 180 feet over Niagara Falls and
survived only the third person
known to have gone over without a
safety device and lived.
Niagara Parks Police say witnesses
reported seeing the man climb over a
railing at 10:20 a.m. Monday some
distance above Horseshoe Falls and
deliberately jump. He surfaced near an
observation platform on the Niagara
River.
The man, believed to be in his early
40s, was rescued about two hours later
and taken to a hospital for treatment of
life-threatening injuries. Police did not
identify him.
The last person to go over the Falls
and survive was a 30-year-old Canadian
man in March 2009. In October 2003,
Kirk Jones of Michigan survived.
DANA POINT, CALIF
Tons of pot found in ocean
Authorities say three and a half tons
of marijuana have been found floating
in the ocean off Southern California.
A boater spotted 160 bales of pot
around noon Sunday about 15 miles off
the coast of Dana Point. Orange Coun-
ty authorities and the Coast Guard sent
boats to gather up the pot and turn it
over to the U.S. Border Patrol.
They say its unclear who dumped
the pot, which together weighs about
7,000 pounds and has an estimated
street value of $3 million.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Pri-
vate rocket maker SpaceXaimedfor a
liftoff today after fixing the engine
problem that caused a launch abort
over the weekend, stalling the
worlds first commercial space sta-
tion supply flight.
Forecasters put the odds of good
weather at 80 percent for the test
flight. Launch time was 3:44 a.m.
with a split-second window.
The California-based Space Explo-
ration Technologies Corp., better
known as SpaceX, is the first private
business toattempt tolaunchavessel
to the International Space Station.
The Dragon capsule atop the Falcon
9 rocket is filled with1,000 pounds of
food and other provisions.
All nine of the Falcons engines ig-
nited during the first launch attempt
Saturday. But with just a half-second
remaining before liftoff, on-board
computers shut everything down be-
cause of highpressure inthe combus-
tion chamber of engine No. 5.
The problemwas traced to a faulty
valve. Engineers put in a new valve
and declared the rocket ready to fly.
SpaceX is run by billionaire Elon
Musk, the co-founder of PayPal. His
company is in the lead of the NASA-
sponsored competition to hand over
space station cargo runs and even-
tually astronaut ferry trips to pri-
vate business.
Musk said his Dragon capsules
could be carrying astronauts to orbit
in about four years. Until a private
spacecraft is ready to fly, NASAastro-
nauts will continue to ride Russian
rockets to the space station.
The switch from government to
commercial spaceflights is the cor-
nerstone of President Barack Oba-
mas exploration plan. The adminis-
tration wants NASAspending its lim-
ited resources on missions beyond
low-Earth orbit.
If launched Tuesday, the Dragon
will reachthe space stationThursday
and undergo a series of practice ma-
neuvers from more than a mile out.
Then on Friday, the capsule will fly
within reach of the stations 58-foot
robot arm, which will snare it and
berth it to the orbiting lab.
The armwill be operated by two of
the six space stationresidents: Amer-
ican Donald Pettit and Andre Kuip-
ers, who is Dutch.
Ready to monitor the approach-
ing Dragon spacecraft in bright sun-
light and complete darkness, Kuip-
ers said via Twitter on Monday. He
posted a picture of the two crewmen
awaiting the capsule. Sunglasses,
headlamp, reading glasses. Now for
the launch.

HARRISBURGTheJunechildsex-
abuse trial of former Penn State assist-
ant football coach Jerry Sandusky will
not be delayed, a judge ruled Monday.
The one-sentence order by Judge
John Cleland did not explain his rea-
sons, but it means thecasewill verylike-
ly beginwithjury selectioninside a cen-
tral Pennsylvania courthouse in barely
two weeks.
Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola had
asked for the delay on May 9, arguing
that he needed more
time to find and inter-
view witnesses, and
that pending criminal
charges against two
Penn State adminis-
trators madethemun-
available as witness-
es.
Hesaidwithout thedelay, hewas con-
cerned he would not be able to repre-
sent Sanduskyeffectivelyandadequate-
ly.
Sandusky, 68, faces 52 criminal
counts for alleged abuse of 10 boys over
15 years, allegations he has repeatedly
denied. Jury selection is scheduled to
begin June 5, with jurors chosen from
the State College area, where Sandusky
lives.
Cleland also issued a second order
that requires defense lawyers toprovide
prosecutors any expert reports they
plan to use as part of their case by May
30.
The Attorney Generals Office also
will get copies of any reports of physical
or mental examinations and scientific
testing results by May 30. If the defense
has experts they plan to call to testify
that have not prepared a report, the de-
fense lawyers must tell prosecutors the
experts subject matter, his or her opin-
ion and the basis for that opinion, Cle-
land said.
Sandusky lawyer Karl Rominger de-
clined to comment on the two orders,
citing a gag order Cleland has imposed.
Aspokesmanfor the Attorney Generals
Office also declined to comment.

SANAA, Yemen Asuicide bomber blewhimself up
at a military parade rehearsal Monday in Yemens cap-
ital, killing 96 soldiers in one of the deadliest attacks in
the city in years, officials said. Al-Qaidas Yemen branch
claimed responsibility for the attack.
The group said in an emailed statement that it had
targeted the Minister of Defense,
Maj. Gen. Mohammed Nasser
Ahmed, who arrived at the heavily se-
cured city square to greet the assem-
bled troops just minutes before the
blast ripped through the area.
Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula
vowed, This is only the beginning of
Jihad, and said that its militants will
continue staging attacks against the Yemeni leadership.
It said the bombing was meant to take revenge for the
governments military offensive in a swath of southern
Yemen seized by the militant movement last year.
A statement in the name of President Abed Rabbo
Mansour Hadi read on state TV said, The war on ter-
rorism will continue until we win, whatever the sacri-
fices are.
The Pentagon also confirmed that three civilian con-
tractors helping train Yemens coast guard were at-
tacked Sunday in Yemen. Cmdr. Bill Speaks, a Defense
Department spokesman, said Monday that injuries to
the party were minor.
The three were traveling in a car in the Red Sea port
city of Hodeida on Sunday, when they were shot at by
militants in another vehicle.
Yemeni officials initially said the three were mem-
bers of the U.S. Coast Guard, but the Guard denied that.
Military officials said the suicide bomber in Sanaa
was a soldier taking part in the drill,
lining up with fellow troops at a main
square in the capital, not far from the
presidential palace. He belonged to the
Central Security, a paramilitary force
commandedby ex-president Ali Abdul-
lah Salehs nephew Yahia, the officials
said, speaking on condition of ano-
nymity because they were not autho-
rized to speak to the media. Hadi has been trying to
wrest control of the security forces away from Saleh,
who is still seen to exercise much influence from be-
hind the scenes.
Witnesses described the same scenario, but officials
said they were still investigating.
Mondays bombing left a scene of carnage, with
scores of bleeding soldiers lying onthe groundas ambu-
lances rushed to the scene. Several severed heads were
on the pavement amid large pools of blood and human
remains.

war but still loaded with trou-
bles.
The war that began in the
weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, at-
tacks will finish at the end of
2014.
I dont thinktheres ever going
to be an optimal point where we
say, This is all done. This is per-
fect. This is just the way we want-
ed it, Obama said as the NATO
summit closed. This is a proc-
ess, and its sometimes a messy
process.
Obama never spoke of victory.
Afghan forces for the first time
will take over the leadof the com-
bat mission by the middle of
2013. Even in a backup role, U.S.
forces and all the rest will face
surprise attacks and bombings
until the wars end.
The nations also promised a
lasting partnership with Afghan-
istan, meaning many years of
contributing tax dollars, person-
nel and political capital after the
endof their soldiers combat. The
United States has already cut its
own deal with Afghanistan along
those lines, including a provision
that allows U.S. military trainers
and special forces to remain after
the war closes.

It would be a huge construction
issue to do anything with that site

Dont allow socialists
to plan nations future
T
he left has taken away freedoms with
its mandates including those regu-
lating light bulbs, water flow in your
toilet, your gas mileage, your health insur-
ance coverage, your childs education, your
retirement options, your fat intake, your
salt intake, your childs school lunch and
your right to own everything from guns to
plastic grocery bags.
Things that irritate liberals are big prof-
its, Wal-Mart, SUVs, the Boy Scouts, big
oil, big pharmaceuticals, big insurance,
McDonalds, right-to-work states, unre-
stricted speech on college campuses and
radio, and feisty Alaskan moms who run
for public office.
News from the grapevine is that there
are other mandates that Obama wants
passed, such as taxing the publics pension
plans to lower the deficit. He will not
touch government or union pensions.
He continually assaults capitalism to
make sure more people are on the govern-
ment dole. He will block all energy pro-
jects other than the failed renewable ener-
gy plans.
He seemingly is deliberately destroying
capitalism with higher taxes and jobs go-
ing to China, Mexico and rogue nations.
This is the liberal mindset that socialism is
the way to go. As long as he is in office the
deficit will be over trillions of dollars,
which we will have to borrow from our
enemies!
This Marxist plan to forgive all student
loan debt and mortgage debt, which has
destroyed the building trades industry, will
increase taxes on companies that are hav-
ing a hard time competing in this world
economy.
Citizens, do you want socialists to deter-
mine your future? Look around and see
what this Marxist president is doing to the
Constitution. This November I will warn
all of you again: Dont vote for this man
with the engaging smile.

Voters should get ready
for next bubble to burst
I
t is pathetic that with hundreds of mil-
lions of potential candidates in this
country, the voters will have to choose
between Tweedledee and Tweedledum for
president this November.
Witness both stooges fawning for the
student vote via rejection of student loan
interest-rate increases. Never mind that
these fools continue to stretch the skin of
the education bubble ever closer to its
bursting point.
Student loan debt now exceeds credit
card debt in this country. Government
subsidies to colleges have allowed them to
expand into vast decadent cities. Profes-
sors are able to be paid two to three times
what they are really worth, only to spew
forth socialist propaganda to perpetuate a
failed system.
Ten years ago the government deter-
mined that every citizen was entitled to
own a home regardless of income or ability
to pay. We all know how that ended.
Fast forward to today and everyone is
entitled to a college education, regardless
of academic abilities or ability to pay. The
sheep are lined up to receive a worthless
liberal arts degree, resulting in no job and
living at home, and a mountain of student
loan debt upon graduation. Most would be
better off to stay at home, work a mini-
mum-wage job and put any savings into
gold. They would come out tens of thou-
sands of dollars ahead and have some
real-life experience behind them.
Other bubbles floating about the room-
ful of nails include a bond bubble brought
to you courtesy of the Federal Reserve
through its manipulative interest rate
policies and money printing. The result is
a housing market still being propped up
even after a 30 percent decline in prices.
The dollar also is in danger of collapse as
foreigners abandon the dollar in their
reserves and steer clear of buying any
more of our debt.
Closing in on 50 million participants, the
food stamp bubble is the most dangerous.
Thats 50 million unfortunates taking for
granted that governments cornucopia
always will overflow. Empty bellies have
been the cause of many a revolution. Look
only as far back as last years Arab Spring.
Only when this bubble bursts will the
stupids forsake their vote on Idol and
arise from their couches and take to the
streets.
A 20 percent turnout in the recent pri-
mary election tells me so. As in all past
burst bubbles, no one in government will
have seen this coming.
Newspaper columnist H.L. Mencken
once said that democracy is the worship of
jackals by jackasses and that common
people know what they want and deserve
to get it good and hard. I somewhat dis-
agree, because I think most people are
oblivious to their surroundings; but we do
deserve what we are about to get, and get
it we will.

Reader says council put
politics ahead of safety
R
ecently a rather disgruntled individual
from Harveys Lake embarked on a
crusade to oppose the countys 9-1-1
systems initiative to establish a clear oper-
ational guideline to ensure any borough
resident requesting EMS receives an ap-
propriate and expedient response.
The facts were decidedly slanted and
poorly reported by the local press, as this
was not a case of usurping the authority of
a municipality, but rather a policy that
placed patient care and established regu-
lations ahead of politics.
Harveys Lake EMS seemingly skewed
the information to avoid the public spot-
light, as it routinely is unable to establish a
volunteer crew, especially during daytime
hours. The regulations state that when an
EMS unit is unable to crew a call, it must
report that status to the 9-1-1 Center so
that no time is wasted and the immediate
next-due unit is dispatched.
Now, political pressure from the Luzerne
County Council has prompted the 9-1-1
Center to give them what they want to
avoid any further press outcries. If the
intent of the council is to buckle to every
whim of the discontent, then the council
had better be ready for the inevitable litiga-
tion that will arise when someones life is
lost in favor of politics.
It is my opinion that council not only
does not understand public safety, but also
I would venture a guess that its members
would be hard pressed to find the 9-1-1
Center if they had to.
If one uninformed individual from a
community can negate the positive strides
toward public safety, then I fear the coun-
cil form of government is going to be a
dismal failure. Perhaps they should consid-
er allowing the experts to establish the
legally grounded policies and trust those
they have placed in charge.

OR DECADES educa-
tors, health authorities
and others have
warned about the dan-
gers of using illegal drugs, but a
recent study indicatedthe mess-
age is not getting through to an
alarming number of teenagers.
The Partnership at Drugfree-
.org foundthat more thanone in
four high school students 27
percent usedmarijuanaat least
once in the month before its sur-
vey was taken. It involved stu-
dents in grades nine through12.
A 2008 version of the survey
found19 percent of respondents
had used pot in the previous
month, so the number is going
up.
A recent University of Michi-
gan study came up with similar
findings that marijuana use is on
the rise among teenagers.
It has been the recreational
drug of choice for many young
people for a long time. And that
might be part of the problem.
According to Partnership
President Steve Pasierb, some
parents dont take marijuana
smoking very seriously, figuring
its better for their kids to smoke
pot than to try harder drugs.
Using pot impairs the ability
to think clearly, and many ques-
tions remain about the 400
chemicals in marijuana. Even
proponents of marijuana legali-
zation acknowledge minors
should not be using the drug.
Since its clear many teenag-
ers choose to ignore attempts to
educatethemabout thedangers,
it is uptothe adults intheir lives
toreinforce the message andnot
tolerate use of illegal drugs and
abuse of legal substances.

bers, those out-of-
town trips to munici-
pal conferences andworkshops
really pay.
Not only dothe globetrotters
gain valuable insights into how
to run more effective and effi-
cient government, they alsoap-
parently can pad their pockets
with extra cash courtesy of
city taxpayers.

ers Sunday edition by staff

imbursement setup
that deals another
blowto the ever-sink-
ing credibility of this
regions elected offi-
cials and defies logic.
Eating out? Dont
bother like most of
the worlds busi-
ness travelers to keep any
restaurant receipts. Simply dip
into city coffers upon your re-
turn, collecting a flat rate at the
upper end of a scale beyond
what even the federal govern-
ments General Services Ad-
ministration suggests is appro-
priate. In some cases, city
council members claimedmeal
allowances of up to $92.95 per
day. They even collected reim-
bursements when breakfasts
and lunches presumably were
provided as part of conference
packages.
For the record, we support
the notion that our elected
leaders occasionally should go
on educational trips to places
such as San Antonio, Denver
and Phoenix beyond the
Wyoming Valleys parochial
borders to spots where they
can see novel ideas and learn
best practices. Arguably, its
important for them to take
these jaunts and have a seat at
the table.
But not a seat at a trough.
Wilkes-Barre Councils travel
policy lacks any accountability,
opening the door to piggish
abuses. When questioned
about their system, city offi-
cials last week said they simply
have been following a long-
standing unwrit-
ten policy.
Any unwritten
policy involving
expenditures of
taxpayer money
should have been
formalized dec-
ades ago; a legiti-
mate government
in 2012 must run on codified
rules and written guidelines,
not old habits and human
whims.
Before their next outing,
Wilkes-Barres council mem-
bers need to draft and approve
a new meal-reimbursement
policy.
It should mandate documen-
tation, such as receipts. It also
should cap expenses at levels
palatable tothis citys residents
and befitting public servants,
as opposed to traveling royalty.
If the councils members
cant manage to do that in a
timely manner, voters at the
next opportunity can supply
them with one-way tickets
out of office.

Costs associatedwithcanines
arent in a separate budget cate-
gory for easy tracking, and Piaz-
za said hed need time to tally
the expenses.
Thewardensupports keeping
Wyatt and Brutus and covering
their care and training, at least
for now, because new German
shepherds wouldhave tobe pur-
chased and trained fromscratch
if needed.
The question will be wheth-
er we bring the two young ones
back to work, and, if not, what
we do with them, Piazza said.
We have to see if its econom-
ically feasible and worthwhile
to bring them back.
Loky, 9, and Miki, 8, are the
only working prison canines at
this time. Both dogs handle
tracking, contraband detection
and other security matters. Lo-
ky also is certified to apprehend
inmates.
LokyandMiki arenearingthe
end of their service time be-
cause K-9s typically retire by
age 10, the warden said.
County officials started the
prison K-9 program in March
2005 to enhance drug detection
and prevent disturbances.
Rocky, Loky and Miki were
purchased for $25,500 each in
2004.
Impressed with the results,
the county spent $20,000 in
2008 on the two younger dogs
to expand shift coverage.
Few county prisons have K-9
units in Pennsylvania, Piazza
said.
He applauds the work per-
formed by the dogs, but said the
staffing of guards must take pri-
ority. K-9 officers are limited in
their ability to concentrate on
inmates because they also are
responsible for their dogs, he
said.
Your best line of defense is
always the human factor, Piaz-
za said. The canines are tools,
but the best type of security
comes from actual people.
A potential challenge over
pay for K-9 officers also may im-
pact the future of the program.
Piazza said he was recently
informed by union officials
about a Fair Labor Standards
Act requirement to provide ad-
ditional compensation to K-9 of-
ficers whokeepthe dogs at their
homes.
Case lawhas established han-
dlers should receive an addi-
tional 30 minutes per day, seven
days a week, for at-home care,
including bathing, exercising,
grooming and feeding the ca-
nines.
Handlers across the county
have received back-pay settle-
ments for at-home care in juris-
dictions that didnt comply with
the requirement, according to
published reports.
Prison union representative
Tom Boram said the union is
discussing the matter but has
not made a decision on filing a
challenge seeking past compen-
sation.
Boramsaidthedogs wouldbe
missed.
I definitely believe the ca-
nines are a valuable asset wed
hate to lose, but our staff always
rises to the challenges of any is-
sue, he said.

more than a penny higher per
kWh than the past quarter, he said
its still lower than last summers
rate of 8.774 cents per kWh and
nearly 2 cents lower than the
rate in effect in the summer of
2010. Then it was 10.44 cents per
kWh.
He noted that for the past two
quarters, weve had a particularly
low price to compare, which
makes the increase seem much
more dramatic than it is.
PPL filed the rate hike with the
PUC last Friday and it will remain
in effect for three months, expir-
ing Sept. 30. Jennifer Kocher, the
PUC press secretary, said the com-
mission reviewed the request and
found it to be within the guide-
lines established by the companys
previous filings with the commis-
sion.
Popowsky said that while the
quarter-to-quarter volatility could
create large hikes and decreases in
electricity rates, I think were
still in very good position.
When the state let rate caps ex-
pire for PPL customers at the end
of 2009, rates were raised 30 per-
cent but they had been coming
down each
quarter until
now.
Popowsky
said the sys-
tem is work-
ing pretty
well in Penn-
sylvania.
The new
rates affect
only residen-
tial and small-
commercial
customers on

ply service.
For small-commercial custom-
ers, the new price to compare will
be 9.154 cents per kWh, compared
with 6.387 cents per kWh current-
ly, a 43 percent increase.
The increase in PPL Electric
Utilities price to compare means
customers may be able to save on
costs by comparing the new price
to compare-with offers from alter-
native suppliers.

Stevens, of Kingston, hired Fo-
rensic Resolutions to review her
bills shortly after a Times Leader
investigation in February re-
vealed she had overcharged the
county for representing parents
whosechildrenwereinthecusto-
dy of Children and Youth Servic-
es.
The newspapers review
showed Stevens repeatedly
charged travel time for each fee
petitionshedeliveredtothecoun-
ty courthouse, even though the
petitions were delivered at the
same time. Stevens also charged
for excessive hours, including in-
stances in which she billed for
more than 24 hours in a single
day.
Stevens admitted she made
billing errors, but maintained
theywereanhonest mistake. Her
attorney, Mark Raspanti of Phila-
delphia, said he believes the two
audits vindicate his client.
The county has advised me
that our numbers and our audit
were more generous to the coun-
tythantheirownaudit,Raspanti
said. Sheretainedatop-flight au-
ditor and paid about $40,000 for
anaudit. Wegavethecountyback
more money than it feels it is en-
titled to. I dont knowwhat more
Miss Stevens can do to make this
right.
Griffith said the county audit
revealed Stevens charged a total
of $45,870 for travel time to the
courthouse and other county of-
fices. Of thatamount, $15,130was
legitimate, foratotal of $30,740in
overcharges. The county audit al-
so disallowed $20,454 for over-
charge related to the preparation
of the fee petitions, for a total of
$51,194.
TheForensicResolutionsaudit
pegged the overcharges for bill
preparation and delivery at
$55,049. It also found overcharg-
esforcasework, suchasattending
hearings and meeting with cli-
ents, totaling $3,993, for total
over charges of $59,042.
Stevens has alreadyrepaidthat
money through credits she was
due for checks she never cashed
and for work she performed for
whichshehadnotbilledthecoun-
ty, according to the Forensic Res-
olutions audit. She was actually
owed about $20,000 by the coun-
ty, but is not seekingpayment.
Griffithsaidthe countys audit,
which was performed by auditor
Marty Moughan, also looked at
excessive hours for which Ste-
vens billed.
Moughan said Monday he be-
lieves those hours were account-
edforbytheForensicResolutions
audit, whichsaidotherpersonsin
Stevens officeperformedsomeof
the work, but the hours were
billedunder Stevens name.
He noted Stevens also charged
by .10 increments a standard le-
gal practice for all work, suchas
making a phone call, even if the
call lasteda fewseconds.
You can bill more than eight
hours in a day when you have a
minimum, Moughan said. If
you charge .10 hours, if you make
15 calls in an hour, you are charg-
ingfor more thanone hour.
Griffithsaidhisaudit waslimit-
ed to looking at billing issues be-
cause Moughan did not have ac-
cess to case files, which are confi-
dential. Griffith suggested the
court system look at that issue
more closely.
Deputy Court Administrator
Michael Shucosky said the court
did not conduct a forensic audit,
but he did review a fair sam-
pling of Stevens cases. He also
spoke to judges and attorneys
who appeared in court with her
andfoundnomajor issues towar-
rant a more thoroughinquiry.
We found no evidence that
Miss Stevens did not appear in
court when she said she ap-
peared; no evidence that she
failedto file pleadings andno evi-
dencethat shedidnot adequately
represent clients in court, he
said.
Stevens still faces a review by
the Disciplinary Board of the
State Supreme Court, which in-
vestigates wrongdoing by attor-
neys, and a possible criminal
probe.

neyStefanieSalavantissaidsheis

STEVENS
controllers office for a print out
of invoices to support the 1099.
I come up with a different
amount and the difference is
pretty big, Stevens said in the
email, a copy of which was
included as an exhibit in a
forensic audit conducted by
Forensic Resolutions Inc.
ATimes Leader reporter had
begun investigating Stevens
bills right around that time
after discovering she had been
paid more than $144,000 by the
county for representing parents
whose children were in the
custody of Children and Youth.
That was far more than any of
the 17 other attorneys who
were contracted by the county.
The investigation, the results
of which were first reported in
the newspaper on Feb. 24,
showed Stevens had repeatedly
double billed the county for
preparing and delivering fee
petitions to the county cour-
thouse.
The Forensic Resolutions
audit, which was paid for by
Stevens, determined she had
overcharged the county
$59,042. County Controller
Walter Griffith on Monday said
a separate county audit pegged
the overcharges at $51,194.
Raspanti said he believes the
email and audits support Ste-
vens claims that the errors
were an honest mistake.
Raspanti said Stevens be-
lieved the figure on the 1099
was too high and, because of
that, held off on cashing two
checks the county had issued.
She began investigating, but did
not have the chance to com-
plete her inquiry before The
Times Leader story appeared.
The fact Stevens held off on
cashing the checks is indica-
tive of honest dealing, Raspan-
ti said.
Unfortunately, before the
time you surfaced, she didnt
have a chance to reconcile the
invoices, Raspanti said. Right
after you started doing your
reporting, it was too late to get
all that done.
Stevens canceled an inter-
viewwith a reporter two days
before the first story ran. She
instead sent an email on Feb. 23
acknowledging there were
billing errors. She noted she
had previously caught an over-
payment of roughly $5,800
made to her, but never men-
tioned the Feb. 12 email or that
she had begun investigating
herself.
The Forensic Solutions audit
blamed part of the billing errors
on the way in which bills were
processed in Stevens office.
Stevens signed verifications
attesting to the accuracy of the
bills before she submitted them
to the court. Asked why Ste-
vens didnt catch the errors
then, Raspanti said he believes
it was because Stevens, who
handled111cases fromJune
2010 to February 2012, was
overburdened.
She put the bulk of her time
and energy into representing
her clients, which is a good
thing. Some of the paperwork
was not as careful as it could
have been, he said. Because
she was taking care of her cli-
ents needs, she made some
honest mistakes.
Raspanti said Stevens wishes
the mistakes did not happen.
He said she deserves credit for
taking responsibility immedi-
ately addressing the issue by
hiring an auditor.
She told the county what
she was going to do, and he
honored her commitment to
the county, he said.
CHECKED
State police allege Huff wrote
checks on a closed checking account
fromDec. 30, 2009, to Jan. 5, 2010, at
Murphy Lumber Co., Dennison
Township; Shellys Lumber, Foster
Township; and Conyngham Build-
ers, Sugarloaf Township, in the
amount of $6,960. Huff operated a
business named AK Construction
and purchased large amounts of cop-
per with the bad checks, state police
allege.
State police learned in April 2010
Huff had fled the area. He was arrest-
edona fugitivefromjusticechargein
Marshal County, Tenn., in October.
Court records indicate Huff was
wanted on an escape charge when he
failed to return to the county prison
while onthe workrelease programin
August 2009. Huff was also wanted
for failure to appear at a court pro-
ceedingoncharges hewrotefour bad
checks on Dec. 16 and Dec. 17, 2009,
in the amount of $4,426 to Eastern
PA Supply Co. in Wilkes-Barre, ac-
cording to court records.
HUFF
will also provide a coach/steers-
man to train and guide teams,
and to handle the tiller in the riv-
er.
But for the September dragon
boat races, four boats will be
brought in, and up to 30 teams
can join the competition.
Insteadof anafternoonof train-
ing the day before, teams will
have a chance to practice
throughout the week before the
race, Maday said. And while pad-
dling the 39-foot-long boats is fun
andtrying to outpace other boats
adds an adrenalin rush, the big
goal is raising money for other
events along Wilkes-Barres River
Common.
Just about every organization
that doesthisdoesit asafundrais-
er, Maday said.
And it has become so popular
the money can become substan-
tial. An annual event in Philadel-
phia draws close to 100 teams,
Maday noted, while about half-a-
dozen years of racing in Burling-
ton, Vt., has raised approximate-
ly $1 million.
Steep overhead
Parks Committee volunteer di-
rector Vinnie Cotrone said the
cost of the full-blownrace is steep
and getting at least 20 teams
signed up at $2,000 per team
should ensure more money is
raised than is spent.
Any profit would help pay for
other events throughout the year,
including an Earth Day program,
the kid-friendly Chalkfest and
concerts on the River Common.
The committee has also taken
care of one hang-up last year a
lack of good floating docks by
getting students at Wilkes-Barre
Area Career and Technical Cen-
ter to build four docks, each 16-
feet long, using lumber provided
at a discount by Lowes.
Flotation devices buoyant
enough to hold all the people
boarding the boats they sit in
pairs side by side, with one per-
soninfront servingasdrummer
were ordered and are expected
soon, Cotrone said.
While the tipping of the city
boat grabbed headlines last year,
no one was hurt and most who
fell intothe drinklaughedas they
stepped onto dry land.
Still, Cotronesaid, thecommit-
tee is planning more training to
make sure everyone knows safety
protocols.
Maday is convinced dragon
boat racingwill becomeapopular
event on the Susquehanna, sim-
plybecause it is unique as a fun-
draiser. Youmayhaveagoodtime
or goodfoodat, say, acharityban-
quet or other common events,
but how many fundraisers do

asked.
This is one you will never for-

THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, MAY 22, 2012

I
n the middle of his testimony before
the states governing high school
body a few years back, Ted Jackson
was cut short in mid-sentence.
You dont seem like a coach who
takes a lot of crap, a PIAA board mem-
ber pointed out.
No sir, Jackson agreed.
Hed be the perfect guy to give Holy
Redeemer a fresh start.
Holy smokes!
Ears would burn at the Wilkes-Barre
Catholic School if Jackson got the
Royals football coaching position and
then got on one of his infamous, exple-
tive-filled rants.
Theres no indication hes even re-
motely interested in the position.
But Jackson needs a job and Re-
deemer needs a coach.
And the unlikely pairing just might
make a perfect fit.
Jacksons far from flawless, and even
his supporters concede he was no saint
during his days as head coach of Dallas
High School.
His detractors paint a picture of him
as some kind of demon who never got
past the locker room mentality of his
age-old playing days.
Theyll point to his laundry list of
imperfections.
Under his watch at Dallas, the Moun-
taineers engaged in a bench-clearing
brawl that put the program on proba-
tion and they relieved themselves on
an opposing teams tennis courts,
which got Jackson suspended.
That was just in the last five years.
A successful coach
Most of Jacksons 27 years at Dallas
were spent storming the sidelines,
swearing to the high heavens. Rather
than keep covering their ears, this
years school board members at Dallas
decided to can the sometimes-contro-
versial coach a couple months ago.
But just think, if Jackson starts
shouting Jesus! at Holy Redeemer,
people might think hes just praying.
And the Royals should be on their
knees asking for this caliber of a coach,
who not only carries star quality but a
spectacular success rate.
Jacksons lifetime record stands at
227-79-3, an incredible winning per-
centage of .734.
Hes endured one losing season
one! in 27 years, which is part of the
reason why Dallas football supporters
are holding an appreciation dinner and
reunion for Jackson and his former
players this Sunday.
His 1993 team won a Class 2A state
championship one of two Wyoming
Valley Conference teams ever to ac-
complish that feat and his Dallas
teams were conference champs for
what seemed like just about every year.
Youd have to go back nearly a dec-
ade, to the days of Dwayne Downings
9-1 season in 2004 when the school
was known as Bishop Hoban prior to
the Catholic school merger into Holy
Redeemer to find much hint of foot-
ball success at that place.
If the 60-year-old Jackson didnt win
there, they couldnt crucify him at a
school starving for football success.
The Royals are just 7-43 since the
merger.
If they attain success, they may pro-
mote him to pope.
The last coach, Joe Ostrowski, left in
shame after taking the Royals to an
0-10 record in his only season before
being charged with production of child
pornography last week.
So Redeemer received permission
from the diocese to open its head
coaching position in a search that will
last for the next week or so, and
opened a door for Jackson.
He may not want to enter it.
But the veteran coach has done this
before. Jackson took over a pretty bad
team when he arrived at Dallas, and
rebuilt that program into a perennial
power.
This time, he has the chance to re-
build a reputation.

At no point, however, did Brandon Bass

COLUMBUS, OHIO The
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
scored seven runs early against
Columbus then held on for a 9-6
victory over the Clippers at Hun-
tington Park.
The Yankees jumped out to a
7-1 lead after a six-run top of the
second. In the inning, Cole Gar-
ner got things
started with a
solo home run
off Clippers
starter Corey
Kluber. That
gave SWB a 2-1
lead. But the
Yankees were
just getting
started. Steve
Pearce laced a
run-scoring sin-
gle with the
bases loaded for
a 3-1 lead. Jack
Cust and Bran-
don Laird then
registered bases
loaded walks for
a 5-1 lead.
Francisco Cervelli capped the
scoring in the inning with a two-
run single and a 7-1 advantage.
The Clippers werent going to
go down without a fight.
With SWBstarter D.J. Mitchell
(4-1) cruising through the first
four innings, Columbus got tothe
righty in the fifth, scoring five
times.
A Chad Huffman single fol-
lowed by a two-run double from
Lonnie Chisenhall cut the Yan-
kees lead to 7-4. Jared Goedert
plated two more in the frame
with a single for a 7-6 Yankees
lead.
Mitchell was lifted after the in-
ning after allowing eight hits, but
still earned the win.
Steve Pearces ninth home run
of the season, a solo shot in the
eighth, gave Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre a little breathing room.
Garner blasted his second homer
of the night inthe topof the ninth
for a 9-6 lead to give closer Kevin
Whelan a bigger cushion.
Whelan struck out two and
walked one in the bottom of the
ninth to nail down the victory as
the Yankees climbed three games
over .500 and remain in fourth
place in the International League
North Division, 3 games be-
hind division-leading Pawtucket.

WILKES-BARRE A week
ago, players and coaches were
talkingabout thebrutal bracket
that was to be the half of the
District 2 Class 2Aboys volley-
ball tournament held at Holy
Redeemer.
Thetopthreeteamsfromthe
Wyoming Valley Conference

and Crestwood all participa-

was going to go home on Mon-
day after the first day of action.
Crestwood, which won its
first playoff game in school his-
tory in last years event and
took fourth in the district, was
looking to advance further this
seasonbut fell toNorthPocono
3-1 in the first match at Re-
deemer. The second part of the
doubleheader sawthe host and
No. 1 seed Royals knock off
eighth-seeded Lake-Lehman

WRIGHT TWP. Based on recent his-
tory, Lake-Lehmans one-goal leadat half-
time against Crestwood on Monday was
fragile at best.
Even when the advantage bumped to
two goals and then three, there were no
guarantees against an opponent that
scored six against the Black Knights on
April 10.
History, though, faded as Lehman
made every lead stand on the way to a 3-0
victory over the Comets in a District 2
girls soccer quarterfinal game.
Lehman (11-3) will attempt to make
the district finals for the first time since
1998 when the Black Knights play Dallas
(12-2) at 7p.m. Wednesdayat Wilkes Uni-
versity. Dallas advanced to the semifinals
with a 7-2 victory over Pittston Area.
I think were going to be more pre-
paredthis time, saidLehmansenior Nik-
ki Sutliff, whose teamlost 6-1toDallas on
April 18. Were just a different teamnow.
We definitely got better as the season
went on.
Crestwood ended its season at 8-6.
Lehman had a 5-2 lead against Crest-
wood midway through the second half
during the regular-season matchup. The
Comets, though, rallied and won 6-5 in
overtime.
Weve gained so much experience
with each game and were playing so
much better as a team, Lehman coach
Kelly Adamshick said. Denae (Sutliff)

very tough Bodemeister to win an extremely exciting Preakness

screaming New Yorkers will fill the track like years past and root on

S P O R T S
onthefirst dayof thetournament.
But because four teams from the
WVCwere lost this season, teams
from the northern division had a
better winning percentage thus
setting up the vicious bracket. In
the previous four seasons, two
WVC squads battled for the dis-
trict title and the third-place team
has also come from the confer-
ence.
If we won(Monday) wedhave
tofaceRedeemer(today)soit was
like the slaughter house on this
side of the bracket, Crestwood
coach Mike Williams said. I feel
like if we were onthe other side of
the bracket, wed have at least a
chancetogoandplayforthecham-
pionship.
The semifinals will be held to-
day starting at 5 p.m. at Holy Re-
deemer. The first semi will pit
WesternWayne versus Lackawan-
na Trail and 30 minutes after that
ends, Holy Redeemer will face
North Pocono. The semifinal win-
ners will play 7 p.m. Thursday for
the district title at Scranton High
School. Thethird-placematchwill
beheldat 5p.m. thesamedayand
location. The top three teams ad-
vancetothefirstroundofthePIAA
Championships onMay 29.
The WVC semifinal was setup
because the Trojans got past the
Comets in four games, 25-22, 22-
25, 25-19, 25-16 and the Royals
ousted Lake-Lehman 25-14, 25-18,
25-17.
Much like the last time North
Pocono and Crestwood met just
five days ago, the teams were very
even. Crestwood had a lead in
three of the four games before the
Trojanseventuallypulledouttheir
three victories. The Comets were
leading17-16 inthe first stanza be-
fore NP went on a late run for the
win. In Game 2, the only time
Crestwood didnt lead was when
Pocono was up 3-2 as the Comets
evenedthe matchat 1-1.
The Trojans never gave up the
lead to Crestwood in Game 3 and
onlythreeties werehadbeforethe
25-19 victory.
I was scared. Thats a good
team, Trojans coach Jud Hold-
redge said. I was nervous all day.
Acouple points go a different way
they couldve won it. Its too bad
they cant go on the way the pools
are set up.
The Comets were holding an
8-5 lead in the fourth game and
lookedtobeheadingtowards forc-
ingadecisivefifthgame. But afew
bounces went the other way anda
few miscues allowed the Trojans
tobreakthegameopenleading21-
10at onepoint. AlaterunbyCrest-
woodwasnt enough. JakeProhas-
ka, whohada stellar career for the
Comets, led the way with17 kills,
six service points and four digs.
Nick Banos dished out 28 assists
to go with four kills and five digs,
andJoshLewis hadeight kills and
eight points.

terfinal Monday in Wilkes-Barre.
has more confidence in goal and
is willing to come out. In the be-
ginning of the season, she was
afraid to come out, and for a
freshman thats common.
One constant from the last
meetingwas Shoshana Mahoney.
The Lehman sophomore scored
three times, just like the last
time.
One difference was Lehmans
defensive play. Nikki Sutliff, a
standout at midfield, moved to
sweeper recently due to an injury
in the fullback line. She, stopper
Katie Heindel and outside backs
Tori Frederick and Karen Yamer-
ick were able to hand Crestwood
its third shutout loss of the sea-
son.
But as was the case for all
Crestwood opponents this year,
there were anxious moments for
the fullbacks and Denae Sutliff,
Nikkis sister. The two biggest
came with Lehman leading 2-0.
Morgan Kile created the first
one. The Crestwood sophomore
worked the right side, with some
teammates on her left. The de-
fense anticipated a pass, but in-
stead Kile broke past several de-
fenders and ripped a liner that
narrowly missed as it smashed
the crossbar.
A few minutes later, Kile
passed to Gabby Termini, but the
Comets leading scorer had her
liner snagged by Denae Sutliff on
her left hip.
A load of opportunities,
Crestwood coach Russ Kile said.
Just couldnt get the ball in the
net.

D 2 G I R L S S O C C E R
The Towson University baseball
team is headed to the Colonial
Athletic Association Tournament
and Tyler Austin is a big reason
why.
Austin (Tunkhannock) is one of
the top relief pitchers in the CAA
and is having a record-setting
season with the Tigers. The 6-foot,
175-pound right-hander, has a 2-2
record with a team-high six saves.
He has worked in 31 games a
school record. In a team-high 56.1
innings, hes given up 49 hits and
35 runs, 22 earned. He has 37
walks and a team-high 79 strike-
outs.
Tyler has done everything he
could to help our team, coach
Mike Gottlieb said. His breaking
stuff has been dominant and there
is no way we would be going to the
(CAA) tournament without him.
Every good team has a good bull-
pen and we have been very fortu-
nate to have Tyler Austin on our
team.
Even before the tourney begins,
Austin holds school records in
games pitched (82) and strikeouts
(205).
The Tigers, 26-29 overall and
15-15 in league play, will meet Dela-
ware in the first round of the tour-
ney Wednesday in Harrisonburg,
Va. Towson is the sixth seed and
snuck into the tourney by winning
all three games against James
Madison last weekend. Austin
worked in all three games.
At Towsons year-end Golden
Paws sports banquet last weekend,
Austin was presented with the
Male Unsung Hero Award.
GEFFERT AN IRON MAN In
his four years playing with the
Southern Connecticut baseball
team, senior Ryan Geffert (Wyom-
ing Valley West) started and played
199 out of 200 games.
Not only did the 6-foot-2, 220-
pound first baseman play in those
games, he was outstanding. He
earned Northeast-10 Conference
first-team honors his first three
seasons and was a third-team pick
this season.
Geffert hit .306 (53-for-173) this
season with nine doubles and a
team-high 12 home runs. He was
second in RBI (34) and first in runs
(43). He also had a team-high 35
walks. In the field, he made just
seven errors on 478 chances
(.985).
The Owls finished 31-17, losing
5-4 to league champion Le Moyne
5-4 in the first round of the NE-10
playoffs. Geffert hit a grand slam in
that game.
Ryan had an outstanding ca-
reer, one that will go down as one
of the finest in the history of the
program, coach Tim Shea said.
He finished strong down the
stretch and how fitting was it that
the last hit of his career was a
grand slam? He will truly be mis-
sed.
Geffert leaves Southern Connec-
ticut as the career leader in home
runs (31), RBI (197), walks and field-
ing percentage for a first baseman.
MARSHALL EYES FINALS
George Masons Mandissa Mar-
shall (Crestwood) is seeded second
in the pole vault at this weeks
NCAA Division I East Regionals in
Jacksonville, Fla.
Marshall is on a roll. She cap-
tured the Colonial Athletic Associ-
ation title and the ECAC Division I
Championship heading into the
regionals. Her season best (14-1) is
not only second best in the East
but tied for ninth in the country.
The 5-foot-8 junior finished in a
five-way tie for first in last years
East Regionals and went on to
finish 19th at nationals.
This years nationals will be held
June 6-9 in Des Moines, Iowa.
MASTELLER WRAPS IT UP
David Masteller (Hazleton Area)
saw action as a starter and reliever
with the Lock Haven baseball team.
The 5-fooot-9, 165-pound right-
hander worked in 13 games, making
five starts with two complete
games. The senior posted a 4-6
record and a 5.79 earned run aver-
age. In 51 1/3 innings, he gave up 66
hits and 42 runs, 33 earned. He
walked 22 and fanned 35.
Prior to this season, Masteller
had worked in 12 games in three
seasons, all in relief. He sat out last
season with an injury.
The Bald Eagles finished 16-29-1
on the season.
WILSON WAS SOLID Senior
Jon Wilson (Berwick) wrapped up
his two-year career with the Niag-
ara baseball team.
The 5-foot-11, 185-pound short-
stop hit .278 (47-for-169) with 10
doubles, two triples, six home runs
along with 38 RBI and 19 runs. He
also pitched relief in two games.
Wilson, who played at Lackawan-
na College prior to coming to
Niagara, started all 48 games for
the Purple Eagles, who finished
19-29 overall and 7-16 in the Metro
Atlantic Athletic Conference. The
team saw its season end with a 7-5
loss to rival Canisius. Wilson had
two hits in that game.
DUO HELPING PITT The
Pittsburgh baseball team is headed
to the Big East Conference Tourna-
ment and junior SamParente and
sophomore Matt Wotherspoon are
key members on the squad.
Parente (Pittston Area) plays
third base for the Panthers and is
hitting .305 (47-for-154) with nine
doubles, 23 runs and 26 RBI.
Wotherspoon (Crestwood) is a
6-foot-1, 175-pound right-handed
pitcher. Hes 4-4 with a 4.63
earned run average. Hes worked
85.1 innings and has given up 84
hits and 54 runs, 48 earned. Hes
walked 37 and struck out 82.
Pitt finished the regular season
with a 28-26 record and a 10-17
mark in the Big East but snuck into
the eighth spot in the playoffs
despite losing two of three to
Louisville last weekend.
The Panthers will get another
shot at Louisville in the tourney.
The 38-18 Cardinals are the No. 1
seed and the two teams meet in
the first round Wednesday in Clear-
water, Fla.
BOWMAN, MATES FALL
SHORT Junior Cassie Bowman
and her Mary Washington womens
tennis team made it to the NCAA
Division III Tournament only to lose
5-0 to Vassar in the second round.
Bowman (Crestwood) lost 8-3 in
No. 3 doubles and was leading 6-4,
3-0 in No. 3 singles when Vassar
was declared the winner. She won
both her matches in a 5-0 victory
over Grove City in the first round.
On the season, Bowman finished
11-12 in singles and 11-7 in doubles.
The Eagles finished 16-8.
LYNN NAMED Freshman Sara
Lynn (Berwick) was named to the
All-Freedom Conference second
team for her play with the Kings
womens tennis team this spring.
Lynn played No. 1 singles and
with the No. 1 doubles team for the
Monarchs. She finished 10-10 in
singles including a 1-1 mark in Free-
dom action. One of her victories
(6-3, 6-0) came against Easterns
Jenna Laubach, who was named
Freedom Rookie of the Year.
Kings finished 7-14 after drop-
ping a 5-3 decision to Misericordia
in the first round of the league
tourney.
DUNN, NOLE HONORED
Junior Jill Dunn and freshman
Anna Nole earned All-ECAC hon-
ors for their efforts in the recent
Division III Track Championships in
Troy, N.Y.
Dunn (Hanover Area) finished
sixth in the 400-meter hurdles
(63.54) while Hole (Tunkhannock)
was seventh in the high jump
(5-2).
Dunn also competed with the
400 relay, which finished 10th

and human growth hormone,
and his integrity and credibility
were attacked relentlessly last
week by Clemens lawyer. The
government embarkedona reha-
bilitationjobwithits key witness
during follow-up questioning
Monday, thenmovedontoabeer
expert who put a date on the in-
famous Miller Lite can that be-
came a key piece of evidence and
a witness whoplacedClemens at
a pool party at Jose Cansecos
house in 1998.
Lawyers indicatedtothe judge
that the government might wrap
up its case this week, even
though Tuesday will be a day off
because of a conflict with U.S.
District Judge Reggie Waltons
schedule. Clemens lawyer Rusty
Hardin then said he would need
seven or eight working days to
present the defenses case. Both
sides are workingtofinishbefore
June 8, when further conflicts
with Waltons schedule could
cause the trial to go on recess for
a month.
Before Monday, McNamee
had not been allowed to say that
he provided former Clemens
teammates Pettitte and Kno-
blauch with human growth hor-
mone, or that he helpedex-Clem-
ens teammate Mike Stanton ob-
tain HGH from drug dealer Kirk
Radomski. The judge had ruled
that such information could prej-
udice the jury against Clemens.
But Hardins grueling cross-
examination tipped the balance
in the other direction, prosecu-
tors argued. Hardin suggested
before the jury last week that
McNamee had solely or primar-
ilytargetedClemens, andthat no
one had been charged in connec-
tion with McNamees accusa-
tions, raising the issue of McNa-
mees credibility.
Walton therefore ruled that
McNamee could name Kno-
blauch and Stanton as receiving
HGH in 2001 when they were
with the New York Yankees, and
Pettitte in 2002 when he was
with the Yankees. The judge in-
structed the jury that the names
could only be used to help estab-
lish McNamees credibility as a
witness and cannot be used to
infer Mr. Clemens guilt.
The government took full ad-
vantage, with prosecutor Daniel
Butler using all three names re-
peatedly. McNamee said he was
present when all three players
used their HGH. Pettitte already
has testifiedthat he usedHGHin
2002, so nowthe jury knows that
McNamee was the source.
Butler also worked in quick
time to build all the sympathy he
could for McNamee. The jury
had heard last week that McNa-
mee has a medical conditionthat
he wanted to keep secret, but
now he revealed what it is: He is
a Type 1 diabetic who uses an in-
sulin pump, particularly when
under stress. He then looked at
the jury and apologized for the
extra breaks.

BERWICK Holy Redeemer
came into the District 2 Class
3A softball tournament with its
best seeding ever 12th and
hoping to make a little more
history.
The Royals did just that, win-
ning their first district playoff
game by upsetting Berwick 3-2 at
the Crispin Field complex.
Its incredible! Royals short-
stop Sydney Kotch exclaimed.
Its such a great feeling to win
this.
We came in with our heads
up and played hard through the
entire game, catcher Chelsea
Skrepenak said. We definitely
wanted it.
Holy Redeemer had been
winless in its four previous
appearances in the tournament
and had been shut out three
times. The closest the Royals
had been to victory was a 3-2
loss to Tunkhannock in 2009.
All that changed Monday.
Right from the beginning of
the year, our goal was to get
one playoff win under our
belts, Redeemer coach Mark
Senchak said. Weve been
preaching to set a goal, achieve
it and set another goal. We need
to set another goal and attain
that one.
Kotch had a pair of run-scor-
ing hits, staking the Royals to a
1-0 lead in the third inning. She
shot a two-out single to right to
bring in Stacey Warga, who
singled earlier in the inning,
from second base.
With the game tied at 1 and
two outs in the fifth inning,
Kotch again drove in Warga to
reclaim the lead. Ally Sheman-
ski followed with a single to
center to bring home Kotch
with the winning run.
I just went up there and
stayed focused on the ball,
Kotch said. I had been in a
slump recently, so this was a
big game for me.
Berwick looked to have a big
inning brewing in the bottom of
the fifth after Kylene Welsh and
Abbey Remley had singles to
open the inning, with Remleys
being deflected out of play. Mar-
garet Bridge followed with a
grounder to third, where Kya
Swanek threw home to keep
Welsh from scoring.
Welsh dove head-first into
home, but Skrepenak got a tag
on Welshs torso before the Bull-
dogs left hand came down on
home plate. The collision left
Berwick still down by two and
Skrepenak bloodied.
I tagged her out and all I got
was a cleat in the face, Skrepe-
nak said, adding it was absolute-
ly 100 percent worth it to get
the out.
In the fourth, Skrepnak made a
key play to end the inning as
Berwick looked to take the lead.
Moriah Lynn walked and Cas-
sondra Dianese followed with a
double to the fence in left-center.
After a couple of pop-ups, Ashton
Mensinger walked. On the fourth
ball, pinch runner Brittany Fisher
tried to steal third.
Skrepenak stayed with the
play and threw to third, catching
Fisher in a rundown to end the
inning.
I saw her jump and seeing her
about halfway, I figured why
not? Skrepenak said. It was a
spur of the moment thing. Kya
was there (covering) and there
was already two out, so we had
nothing to lose.
Abby Staskiel allowed just five
hits for Redeemer, though Taylor
Kern did drive in Berwicks
second run with a sacrifice fly
in the fifth inning. Staskiel
retired the last nine batters she
faced.
She pitched a stellar game,
Kotch said of the senior. She
stayed focused and kept her
cool in a close game.
Margaret Bridge struck out
seven and allowed just one
earned run for Berwick, the
Cinderellas of the tournament
last season with its run to the
district semifinals.
We are still young, with no
seniors and only one starting
junior, Berwick coach Brian
Bridge said. This is one to
grow on. It was a great game, a
competitive game. We fully
expected them to play hard and
they played as if they had noth-
ing to lose.
Holy Redeemer advances to
the district quarterfinals, trav-
eling to Tunkhannock to face
the fourth-seeded Tigers on
Wednesday.

the game to a standing ovation
with 2 minutes left and Boston
leadingby18. That left me open,
and I was able to take advantage
of my opportunity.
The 27 points matched Bass
regular-season career high, and
the 18 points in the third was one
off his career playoff high for an
entire game. It was also more
than the Sixers scored in the
quarter as a team.
It was one of those games we
neededsomething to ignite us to-
gether, Celtics coach Doc Rivers
said. I thought the biggest differ-
ence was his energy. He played
with a force. I thought he just let
himself go.
Kevin Garnett added 20 points
and Rajon Rondo had 13 points
and14 assists for the Celtics, who
can advance to the East finals
with a victory in Philadelphia in
Game 6 on Wednesday. The Six-
ers would need a win at home to
force the series back to Boston
for a decisive seventh game.
As he walked to his postgame
interview, Elton Brand told the
Celtics ball boys in the hallway
outside the locker rooms: See
you on Saturday.
No team has won consecutive
games yet this series.
It would just be nice to win
twoinarow. That wouldbeterrif-
ic, Rivers said. Its not going to
be easy. This series has been
hard. Every minute, you think
were leaking oil physically.
Brand scored 19 and Evan
Turner had 11 points and 10 re-
bounds for Philadelphia, which
led by six points early in the third
quarter before Boston scored 14
of the next 16 points. Bass had
eight of them, including back-to-
back dunks followed by a steal
that set up Ray Allens fast-break
layup to give the Celtics a 63-57
lead with five minutes left in the
quarter.
Boston closed out the third
with a 10-2 run over the final 3
minutes andoutscoredthe Sixers
28-16 in the period. The Celtics
also scored 16 of the first 22
points in the fourth quarter
seven fromRondo to put away
the game.
We had too many turnovers
and that just got those guys go-
ing, 76ers center Spencer Hawes
said. They got a couple of easy
baskets in transition off our mis-
takes. It got them going, they
took advantage of it and held
home court. Now we have to go
home and take care of ours.
The Celtics acquired Bass in
December in a trade with Orlan-
do for Glen Big Baby Davis.
Bass hadnt scored more than
22 points in a game this season.
His playoff high was 19 points, in
2008.

Former West Virginia football
coach Bill Stewart died Monday
of what athletic department offi-
cials said was an apparent heart
attack.
A statement issued by spokes-
man Michael Fragale said Stew-
arts family notified the universi-
ty on Monday. Fragale said Stew-
art was golfing at the time.
Stewart, 59, resigned last sum-
mer and was replaced by Dana
Holgorsen the same night. Stew-
art had gone 28-12 in three sea-
sons after taking over for Rich
Rodriguez but failed to earn a
Bowl Championship Series
berth.
Stewart had signed a six-year
contract in September 2008, but
the agreement was amended in
2010 when Athletic Director Ol-
iver Luck decided to replace him.
Holgorsen was hired as offensive
coordinator and head coach-in-
waiting, while Stewart was to
serve his final season in 2011.
But both Holgorsen and Stew-
art made unwanted headlinesAn
intoxicated Holgorsen was es-
corted out of a casino, then a for-
mer newspaper reporter saidthat
Stewart had approached him
shortly after Holgorsens hiring
to dig up dirt on his eventual
successor.

PHILADELPHIA Gio
Gonzalez allowed three hits
over six shutout innings and
Ian Desmond homered and
drove in both Washington runs
to lead the Nationals to a 2-1
victory over the Philadelphia
Phillies on Monday night.
Gonzalez (6-1), a former
Phillies farmhand, struck out
seven of the first nine batters
and finished with nine strike-
outs. That upped his total to 35
over his last four starts, all
wins, in 25 innings.
Bryce Harper had two hits
for Washington.
Sean Burnett came in with
one out in the ninth after Na-
tionals closer Henry Rodriguez
allowed runners to reach sec-
ond and third and escaped a
jam to earn his second save. Ty
Wigginton hit a sacrifice fly off
Burnett, but Placido Polanco
lined out with two on to end it.
Kyle Kendrick (0-4), making
his second start in place of
injured Vance Worley, allowed
two runs and five hits in six
innings. It was the third
straight loss for the Phillies,
who have dropped four of five
to Washington this season and
12 of the last 15 meetings over-
all.
Marlins 7, Rockies 4
MIAMI Giancarlo Stanton
hit a grand slam off Jamie
Moyer in a five-run fourth
inning, Mark Buehrle was
dominant after a shaky first
and the surging Miami Marlins
beat Colorado.
Austin Kearns tied a career
best with four hits for the Mar-
lins, whose 15-5 record in May
leads the majors.
Buehrle (4-4) worked 7 2-3
innings, giving up four runs
and four hits in the first and
one more hit the rest of the
way. Heath Bell pitched the
ninth for his sixth save in 10
chances.
Moyer (2-4) allowed nine
hits and six runs in 3 2-3 in-
nings in his debut at Marlins
Park, the 50th big league stadi-
um in which the 49-year-old
has appeared during his career.
Reds 4, Braves 1
CINCINNATI Right-
hander Mike Leake hit his first
career homer one of three
solo shots in a row by Cincin-
nati and allowed only two
hits over eight innings for a
victory against Atlanta.
Drew Stubbs hit two of the
career-high four homers al-
lowed by Braves starter Mike
Minor (2-4). All the runs
scored on solo homers at one
of the majors most hitter-
friendly ballparks.
Pirates 5, Mets 4
PITTSBURGH Neil Walk-
er scored on Clint Barmes
tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the
eighth inning and Pittsburgh
rallied against Johan Santana
and the New York Mets.
Mike McKenry tied it with a
two-run homer in the seventh
off Santana and Walker made it
all the way to third in the
eighth when his long drive off
Jon Rauch (3-3) glanced off the
glove of center fielder Kirk
Nieuwenhuis for an error and
rolled to the wall. One batter
later, Barmes hit a fly to right
and Walker just beat the wide
throw from Lucas Duda.
Cardinals 4, Padres 3
ST. LOUIS Tyler Greene
hit a go-ahead, two-run homer
in the eighth inning, trumping
Jesus Guzmans two-run dou-
ble in the top half, and St.
Louis beat San Diego to snap a
four-game losing streak.
Jaime Garcia allowed two
runs in seven-plus innings for
the injury-riddled Cardinals,
who maintained their half-
game lead in the NL Central
over Cincinnati. St. Louis has
won just three of its last 11.
Astros 8, Cubs 4
HOUSTON Jason Castro
and Chris Johnson each hit
three-run homers and Bud
Norris threw seven scoreless
innings to give the Houston
Astros an 8-4 victory over the
slumping Chicago Cubs on
Monday night.

NEW YORK Felipe Pauli-
no blanked New York for the
second time in a month, and
Mike Moustakas and Jeff Fran-
coeur hit two-run homers to
lead the Kansas City Royals
over the reeling Yankees 6-0 on
Monday night.
New Yorks bats fizzled once
again, going 0 for 13 with run-
ners in scoring position with
five strikeouts and a foulout.
Booed repeatedly by their
increasingly impatient fans, the
Yankees lost for the sixth time
in seven games and at 21-21
have their worst record at this
point in the season since they
started 20-25 in 2008 the
only time since 1994 that New
York failed to make the play-
offs.
On a rainy, misty evening,
Paulino (2-1) became the first
starter to pitch shutout ball
against the Yankees in consec-
utive outings since Bostons
Josh Beckett on April 10 and
May 14 last year, according to
STATS LLC.
Hiroki Kuroda (3-6) took the
loss.
Red Sox 8, Orioles 6
BALTIMORE (AP) David
Ortiz homered in the sixth
inning to start Bostons come-
back from a three-run deficit,
and the Red Sox got three hits
from Will Middlebrooks in a
victory over the Baltimore
Orioles.
Dustin Pedroia had two RBIs
and Mike Aviles scored the
go-ahead run in the seventh to
help Boston secure its ninth
win in 11 games. The Red Sox
are tied with the New York
Yankees in the AL East cellar
but are at .500 (21-21) for the
first time since April 30.
Chris Davis homered for the
first-place Orioles, who swept a
three-game series in Fenway
Park earlier this month.
The Red Sox went up 7-5
with two runs in the seventh
against Kevin Gregg (2-2).
Andrew Miller (1-0) retired
all five batters he faced to earn
the win on his 27th birthday.
Alfredo Aceves worked the
ninth for his 10th save.
Blue Jays 6, Rays 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Kyle Drabek overcame com-
mand issues to win for the first
time on the road this season,
Yunel Escobar hit a tiebreaking
homer and the Toronto Blue
Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays.
Drabek (4-4), who entered
0-3 with a 5.23 ERA away from
home, allowed two runs and
three hits in six innings. The
right-hander walked six, struck
out three and had three wild
pitches.
Escobar put Toronto in front
3-2 on a solo homer off Jeremy
Hellickson (4-1) in the sixth.
Hellickson gave up five runs
two earned and eight hits
over 7 1-3 innings.

1933 Joe Sewell of the NewYork Yankees struck
out for the first time this season, during a 3-0 win
over Cleveland. Sewell would strike out only three
more times in 524 at-bats.
1957 The Boston Red Sox hit four home runs in
the sixth inning of an11-0 win over Cleveland. Gene
Mauch, Ted Williams, Dick Gernert and Frank Mal-
zone connected. All the homers came on the first 16
pitches from Cal McLish.
1959 Baltimores Hoyt Wilhelmpitched a one-hit-

1968 Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit
three home runs, a double and a single in a 13-6
victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Stargells double just missed going out, as it
bounced off the railing of the left-field bleachers.
1976 St. Louis Reggie Smith hit three home runs
two right-handed and one left-handed and
drove in five runs in a 7-6 win over the Philadelphia
Phillies. Smiths third homer came with two outs in
the ninth and broke a 6-6 tie.
1977 Boston and Milwaukee hit a combined 11
home runs in a 14-10 Red Sox victory at Fenway
Park, tying a major league record. The Red Sox
connected for six and the Brewers hit five in the first
game of a doubleheader.
1983 Cliff Johnson of the Toronto Blue Jays hit
his 18th career pinch homer. The homer, off Balti-
mores Tippy Martinez, tied Johnson with Jerry
Lynch on the career pinch home run list.
1998 Brian Cox went 6-for-6, including a grand
slam in a 10-run third inning, as Florida State rolled
past Delaware 27-6 in the NCAA Atlantic II Region-
al. Freshman Matt Diaz hit three home runs for the
Seminoles.
2000Milwaukeebeat Houstoninthefirst gameof

BALTIMORE Boston Red Sox general manager
Ben Cherington says outfielder Cody Ross has a
broken bone in his left foot and could be sidelined
6-8 weeks.
Ross fouled a ball off his foot in Friday nights game
against Philadelphia. An MRI on Monday revealed
a small fracture.
Cherington says Ross will get a second opinion in
Baltimore, but he is almost certainly headed to the
disabled list.
Speaking before the Red Sox faced the Orioles on
Monday night, Cherington said Ross has a frac-
tured navicular bone. He said such injuries usually
take between six to eight weeks to heal.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)
His passes were hitting receivers
in stride and right between the
numbers, not skipping off the
ground or whizzing behind their
heads like so many of Tim Te-
bows.
The Denver Broncos got their
first real taste of Peyton Man-
ning on Monday with a spirited,
fast-paced workout, the four-
time MVPs first full practice in
more than 16 months.
It felt goodtobe out there. Its
been a while for me, Manning
said. Its been about a year and
a-half since Ive been in uniform,
been in an organized practice.
So, it felt good to be out there.
And it will be a good film to
study.
Monday also was the first
chance for the media to get a
look at the progress Manning
has made since a series of neck
operations sidelined him all of
last season and led to his release
from the Indianapolis Colts.
And Manning looked great,
showing zip and accuracy on his
passes, comfort under center,
complete command of his of-
fense and no ill effects from the
nerve injury that caused weak-
ness in his throwing arm.
Man, it feels good to know
hes going to be on my side be-
cause what I saw today, hes go-
ing to give us some good work,
star cornerback Champ Bailey
said. And we might not see a
quarterback like that all year.
Manning became the most
prized free agent in NFL history
following his release from the
Colts after 14 seasons. His sign-
ing in Denver led to Tebows
trade to the New York Jets, de-
spite a thrilling run to the play-
offs guided by the younger QB.
The Broncos and a handful of
other suitors watched Manning
throw during his whirlwind free
agency tour in March, but before
Monday, reporters had to rely on
his receivers for updates on his
progress. Manning had refused
to talk about it.
Well, you guys got to see him
today, tight end Jacob Tamme
said.
And he looked like the Man-
ning of old. His throws, most of
which were intermediate, were
strong and on target. His only
deep pass was true, too, hitting
Matthew Willis in stride before
being broken up by cornerback
Tracy Porter at the goal line.
Watching his pinpoint passes
zip around Dove Valley, one nev-
er would have guessed hed been
forcedto take a sabbatical andgo
under the scalpel multiple times
since his last game, a wild-card
playoff loss to the Jets in January
of 2011.
Oh, no. Absolutely not, Bai-
ley said. You know, its not live,
but from what I see right now,
the guy hasnt missed a beat.
Coach John Fox said Man-
nings getting better every day.
And so are the Broncos, on ac-
count of Mannings presence.
He definitely raises all boats,
thats for sure, Fox said.

LOS ANGELES A minor
fender bender in a Dodger Stadi-
um parking lot over the weekend
led to the beating of a driver and
the arrest of four people more
than a year after a San Francisco
Giants fan was left with brain
damage after an attack on open-
ing day, police said Monday.
The latest attack occurred Sun-
day, when the victim, a man in his
20s, had a collision with another
driver and three other men
pinned him down, police said.
The other driver kicked and hit
the victim in the head and face
while he was on the ground, po-
lice Sgt. David Armas said.
It was just a minor fender ben-
der that just got totally out of
hand, he said.
The victim, whose name was
not released, hadscrapes andcuts
to his face, but his injuries were
not life-threatening, Armas said.
Awomaninthevictimscar whois
eight months pregnant was not
hurt, but she was examined at a
hospital as a precaution, he said.
The four men, all in their 20s,
were arrested for investigation of
assault with a deadly weapon.
They were not immediately iden-
tified.
In a statement, Dodgers offi-
cials praisedstadiumsecurity and
Los Angeles police for a quick se-
curity response (that) prevented
the confrontation fromescalating
further.
Security responded within mo-
ments, according to the state-
ment issued Monday.
Dodger President Stan Kasten
said the organization is commit-
ted to providing a safe, family-
friendly environment for fans.
The violence came after Giants
fan Bryan Stow was beaten last
year. Two men have pleaded not
guilty to charges including may-
hem and assault. Stadium offi-
cials beefed up security after that
attack.
Stows family has fileda lawsuit
against the team and previous
owner Frank McCourt, claiming
security cutbacks were partially
to blame for the attack.

NEWARK, N.J. Martin
Brodeur made 27 saves and
survived a third-period punch
to the chin by old buddy Mike
Rupp as the NewJersey Devils
defeated the New York Rang-
ers, 4-1, Mondaynight inGame
4 to even the Eastern Confer-
ence Finals, 2-2.
Zach Parise had two goals
and an assist and Bryce Salva-
dor and Travis Zajac beat Hen-
rik Lundqvist less than four
minutes apart in the first peri-
od in a series where the inten-
sity and the emotions are pick-
ing up.
Brodeur even notched an as-
sist in the third, on Parises
empty netter, capping a game
in which the Devils main-
tained their composure and
bounced back from a 3-0 shut-
out in Game 3, while the Rang-
ers took several uncharacteris-
tic penalties and seemed rat-
tled from the start.
Game 5 is Wednesday at Ma-
dison Square Garden.
This game was one where
the chippiness increased with
each period. New Yorks Marc
Staal whacked Patrik Elias in
the back of the knee with his
stick in the second. Ryan Call-
ahan, the Rangers captain, and
New Jerseys Ilya Kovalchuk
tussled. And finally, Rupp, a
former Devil who scored the
Stanley Cup-clinching goal for
New Jersey in 2003, jabbed
Brodeur in his crease in the
third after a stoppage in play.
That almost set off a free-for-
all among the players on the
ice, especiallyafter Brodeur re-
acted like he had been hit by a
roundhouse right.
Thebest action, though, was
along the benches where Dev-
ils coach Peter DeBoer
screamed at Rangers coach
John Tortorella in what he
must have perceived was an in-
tentional attack onhis goalten-
der in a game in which the
Rangers were once again dom-
inated. The two coaches also
sniped at each other on Sun-
day, complaining about pick
plays and embellishing penal-
ties. Indeed, these are the mak-
ings of another classic series in
this rivalry.
TheRupppunchcameabout
four minutes after Parise
scored on a power play to give
New Jersey a 3-0 lead and for
all practical purposes, ended
the game.
Ruslan Fedotenko ruined
Brodeurs bid for his 25th ca-
reer playoff shutout with just
over five minutes to play.
The Rangers pulled Lundq-
vist, whohadshut out the Dev-
ils in Games 1 and 3, with less
thanthree minutes toplay, and
Brodeur made two outstand-
ing saves to keep it a two-goal
game.
Parise finally iced the game
with his second of the game
and sixth of the playoffs. It was
a clearing pass that found its
way into the net.

ORLANDO, Fla. For
months the Orlando Magic have
been trudging through the after-
mathof a preseasontrade request
by Dwight Howard that sapped
the life out of the franchise as in-
ternal team issues quickly affect-
ed the product on the floor.
Now after easily one of the
most tumultu-
ous seasons in
their history,
they made the
first in what
promises to be
a huge offsea-
son shake-up
The Magic
fired coach
Stan Van Gundy on Monday and
agreed to part ways with general
manager Otis Smith, severing
ties with two of the architects of
one of the most successful runs in
franchise history.
Smith and Van Gundys rela-
tionship with Howard was the
centerpiece of drama the team
faced all season and following
their second straight first-round
playoff exit, CEO Alex Martins
said the shift was warranted.
Its time for a new leadership
and a new approach, Martins
said at a news conference to dis-
cuss the moves. We simply came
to the decision that we were not
on the right track.
Martins wouldnt go into many
specifics about what he is looking
for in replacements, saying only
that he andownershipwant to fill
the general manager post by
Junes NBA draft.
He saidhe wouldsit downwith
ownership on Tuesday to begin
ironing out the details of both
searches.
Phone and text messages left
with Van Gundy and Smith by
The Associated Press were not
immediately returned.
Orlando went 37-29 in the reg-
ular season but was eliminated in
five games by Indiana after a rash
of late-season injuries that in-
cluded back surgery for Howard.
Orlando went 5-12 without him.
Martins saidthose consecutive
first-round playoff exits were
simply not good enough.
In early April, Van Gundy
claimed top-ranking team offi-
cials had told him that Howard
had asked management to fire
Van Gundy as a condition of the
center signing a long-term con-
tract beyond 2013. Howard de-
nied it.
Martins addressed that dis-
pute directly, saying At no time
during that time did Dwight ask
me to have Stan fired.
With a relationship with Smith
dating back to the Magics inau-
gural season when Smith was a
player and a five-year relation-
ship with Van Gundy, Martins al-
so called Monday the most diffi-
cult day of my career.
Both Smith and Van Gundy are
under contract through next sea-
son and both of their contracts
will be honored. The current as-
sistant coaching staff has also
been offered the opportunity to
stay on for now.
Van Gundy coached the Magic
for five seasons. He finished with
a 259-135 record, going 31-28 in
the playoffs.
Smith departs after six years.
He was the architect of Magic
teams that made it to the playoffs
in each of those seasons, winning
the Eastern Conference cham-
pionship in 2009. But he also
made several questionable
moves, includingtrades for Vince
Carter and Gilbert Arenas that
failed to work out long-term.
Howard often commented
about Van Gundys grumpy de-
meanor onthe floor, sayingit was
at times counterproductive for
the team.

Facebook shares drop
Facebook shares dropped 11 percent
in its second day on the NASDAQ,
closing at 34.03 per share. The social
media companys stock opened Friday
at $38 and closed that day up 23 cents.
But Monday, the company lost nearly
$10 billion of its market value, and is
now worth around $96 billion, about $2
billion below Amazon.com Inc.
Davis named GHP CEO
Dr. Duane E. Davis, has been named
chief executive officer for Geisinger
Health Plan.
In addition to his role as CEO of
Geisinger Health Plan, Davis will serve
as CEO of Geisinger
Indemnity Insurance
Co. and Geisinger
Quality Options Inc.;
and executive vice
president for insurance
operations for Geis-
inger Health System.
Davis joined Geis-
inger Health System1978. Most recent-
ly, he served as vice president, chief
medical officer for Geisinger Health
Plan, a position he has held since 2000.
He also continues to practice medicine
in the systems department of rheuma-
tology.
He replaces Jean Haynes, who held
that position since August 2009, and
resigned for another position recently.
Bank under investigation
The head of the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission says the agency
has begun an investigation into JPMor-
gan Chases ill-timed bet on complex
financial instruments that led to more
than $2 billion in trading losses.
Chairman Gary Gensler said Monday
the investigation is related to credit
derivatives products as traded by the
chief investment office of JPMorgan
Chase. He declined to give any details.
Ina Drew, who as the banks chief
investment officer oversaw the trading
group responsible for the loss, left
JPMorgan last week.
JPMorgan invested heavily in an
index of insurance-like products that
protect against default by bond issuers.
Hedge funds bet that the index would
lose value, forcing JPMorgan to sell
investments at a loss.
The Securities and Exchange Com-
mission is investigating JPMorgans
disclosures to shareholders about the
trading loss. And the FBI has launched
a preliminary criminal investigation
into the loss at JPMorgan, the biggest
U.S. bank by assets.

uh, 1, um 0 err,
you fans of binary
know what Im trying
to say.
In the world of
computers, accuracy
is a virtue, and as the scale of transis-
tors and chip architecture has shrunk,
preserving that accuracy while main-
taining reliability has become in-
creasingly difficult and this issue
has been compounded by ever-in-
creasing demands for more proc-
essing power.
Researchers say were headed for a
wall, beyond which its physically
impossible to cram any more brains
into a chip. Pretty soon, well be able
to make processor components that
are so tiny, electrons have difficulty
traveling through them and weird
spooky physics begins to come into
play. As we approach that wall, the
demands of energy and keeping the
chips cool increase dramatically, and
more waste is introduced into the
manufacturing process.
For mobile manufacturers, this is a
big problem. They can pack ridicu-
lously powerful processors into very
small devices, but they cant supply
enough power, for a long enough
time, to make full use of their full
potential. There are a variety of ways
to overcome that problem. Throttling
processor speed, so its only used as
needed, is one example. Another is
only allowing it to operate at full
speed when a device is plugged in.
But researchers at Rice University,
in Houston, Texas, think theyve
found another way to combat the
problem: Maybe processors can afford
to be a little lazy while theyre
crunching all those numbers. In some
areas, like graphics processing, audio
or video playback, your brain can
(and does) compensate for minute
errors you never detect them. In
other scenarios, a computer might
process a detail down to the tenth or
twentieth decimal place, when all you
really need is the answer down to
say, the second decimal place.
In yet another scenario, in which
there might be a few different ways
to perform a task, the processor will
select the operation that has the best
likelihood of producing a correct
answer. In addition, software built
into the chip can also selectively shut
down unused areas to further im-
prove performance. By themselves,
these may seem like very small cor-
ners to cut. But given how much
demand is placed on a typical CPU
these days, they quickly add up to
huge gains in efficiency.
While I wouldnt recommend that
we go installing these inexact proc-
essors in surgical equipment or rock-
ets any time soon, theyd be ideal for
mobile and integrated devices that
dont depend on precision you prob-
ably dont care if the time on your
phone is 0.000032 of a second off.
The upshot: This could usher in a
new category of inexpensive, energy-
efficient processors that are ideal for
everyday use.
The technology is already leaping
off the drawing boards to be de-
ployed on a small scale, so its pos-
sible that before too long, well have
processors that are more energy effi-
cient, less expensive and less par-
ticular because sometimes, close
enough is good enough to pass mus-
ter.

NEW YORK If youre flying
this summer, be prepared to kiss
your family goodbye at the gate.
Even if theyre on the same plane.
Airlines are reserving a growing
number of window and aisle seats
for passengers willing to pay extra.
Thats helping to boost revenue but
also making it harder for friends
and family members who dont pay
this fee to sit next to each other. At
the peak of the summer travel sea-
son, it might be nearly impossible.
Buying tickets two or more
months in advance makes things a
little easier. But passengers are in-
creasingly finding that the only
way to sit next to a spouse, child or
friend is to shell out $25 or more,
each way.
With base fares on the rise the
average roundtrip ticket this sum-
mer is forecast by Kayak.com to be
$431, or 3 percent higher than last
year some families are reluctant
to cough up more money.
Who wants to fly like this? says
Khampha Bouaphanh, a photogra-
pher from Fort Worth, Texas. It
gets more ridiculous every year.
Airlines say their gate agents try
to help family members without ad-
jacent seats sit together, especially
people flying with small children.
Yet there is no guarantee things
will work out.
Airlines are searching for more
ways to raise revenue to offset ris-
ing fuel costs. In the last five years,
they have added fees for checked
baggage, watching TV, skipping se-
curity lines and boarding early.
Now they are turning to seats.

NEWYORKMONDEWHAAAAT?
Thesarcasmwaspalpableintheone-word
headline that appeared in The New York
Post on the day after Kraft Foods revealed
that it plannedtoname its newglobal snack
business Mondelez, an interpretation of a
mash-up of the Latin words for world and
delicious. But that wasnt the only dig.
One blogger teased that she wouldve
been stifling giggles if shed been in meet-
ings to determine the name. A Forbes con-
tributor suggested a trick for remembering
how to say it: Just think Bush Administra-
tion Secretary of State. You know, Mon-de-
leza Rice.
The made-up moniker, pronounced
mon-dah-LEEZ, becameapunchlineafter
it was unveiled in March. On Wednesday,
Kraft shareholders will decide whether to
approve the name for the companys busi-
ness that sells global snack brands such as
Oreos and Cadbury.
The four-month odyssey of howMonde-
lez was picked and how it was received
illustratesthegreat painscompaniestake
to come up with powerful names for their
businesses, products and services.
Youhave to generate thousands of ideas,
evenif its just for a cookie, saidNikContis,
the global director of naming at branding
company Siegel+Gale.
More than 1,000 employees submitted
more than1,700 entries.
If shareholders reject the name, the com-
pany will continue to be called Kraft Foods
Inc. while the North American grocery
business will be called Kraft Foods Group
Inc.

Another somber
day weatherwise
is under way
with no sun,
shades of gray
and more show-
ers. A zone of
low pressure
centered off-
shore and an
approaching
cold front that
is slowing down
and will dissipate
over
Pennsylvania
will sustain an
unsightly deck
of lumpy stratus
clouds today and
into Wednesday.
Expect more
showers at any
time. Conditions
will also remain
rather warm
and humid into
Thursday.
Another cold
front will
approach this
weekend. It too
may stall nearby
and bring less
than desirable
weather for part
of the holiday
weekend.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Tropical Storm Alberto and a series of low pressure systems will combine to
produce showers and thunderstorms from Alabama to Maine. Showers will fall in the northern
Rockies and Pacic Northwest due to an approaching storm system and an upper-level trough of low
pressure. A few thunderstorms will also develop in South Florida.

Q: A friend of mine
sent me an email
about something
called meat glue.
The story talks about
how it is used to glue
together scraps of
meat to make them
seem like more expensive meat cuts
like filet mignon. How dangerous is
this stuff? Shouldnt it be illegal?
-C.S., Philadelphia
A: Gluing together pieces of meat,
fish, chicken or pork sounds like the
bastardization of food, but meat glue
has the potential to be used both for
good and evil. To be precise, meat glue
is a naturally-occurring enzyme (trans-
glutaminase) that acts on adjacent
proteins to form a strong protein glue-
like bond. Used for good, meat glue
allows a chef the creativity to come up
with all sorts of new and interesting
food creations such as shrimp spaghetti
with tomato and basil, peanut butter
noodles for pad Thai, fish tenderloin-
shaped filets and much more. Chef
Wylie Dufresne, chef-owner of the
distinguished Manhattan, N.Y., restau-
rant WD 50, is a chef on the cutting
edge of meat glue.
Used for evil, meat glue is used to
fuse together inferior cuts of meat in
an effort to present them as more ex-
pensive cuts. Whats more, such fake
filets may be dangerous if not cooked
thoroughly because the outsides which
may have harmful bacteria become
inside pieces of meat which may not
get cooked sufficiently particularly if
the meat is cooked less than medium-
well. The enzyme itself is safe in a
cooked form and is vegetarian al-
though its use when combined with
gelatin and veggies/grains creates
interesting but non-vegetarian foods.
In case youre wondering, I have not
found a national grocer that uses meat
glue. If it is used, the ingredient trans-
glutaminase must be identified on the
label.
Q: How exactly was the old rabbit
test done? Is it really true that the
rabbit would die if the woman was
pregnant?
R.M., Atlanta
A: Back in the days before there were
home pregnancy tests or blood tests
that can measure a sudden rise in the
level of human chorionic gonadotropin
(HCG) to signify pregnancy, doctors
relied on an early pregnancy test that
first involved the use of female mice
and then female rabbits. The rabbit test
was developed in 1927 and involved
injecting the tested womans urine
directly into a female mouse or rabbit,
then examining the ovaries a few days
later.
If a woman was pregnant, she would
have elevated levels of HCG secreted
into her urine which would then stim-
ulate rabbit or mouse ovarian follicles
to enlarge and mature. These changes
could be observed under a microscope.
Since rabbit ovaries are much larger
than mouse ovaries, rabbits became the
preferred test animal.

S
ome people are just fine with taking no for an an-
swer. Not the Legge family of Fairview Township.
In November 2010, Anita and Bob Legge waited for
hours at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in
Plains Township to hear word on their now-22-year-old
son, Nick, who had been involved in a car accident in
which he lost control of his vehicle, went airborne and
was thrown15feet fromhis car. Thenews was not good.
He had two punctured lungs, a rup-
tured spleen, several broken ribs, sev-
eral fractured vertebrae, Anita re-
called. The surgeon told us there was
a less than 5 percent chance he would
ever walk again.
That number quickly turned to zero
post operation. Nick was considered a
paraplegic.
He begana monthlongstay at the lo-
cal Geisinger, after which he was
movedtoMagee RehabilitationinPhi-
ladelphia. Thats when Anita began to
search for solutions.
I actually went online and typed in
cure for spinal cord injuries, she
said. I kept seeing stories of quadri-
plegics and paraplegics who were told
theyd never walk again, but there
they were, taking their first steps.
Anita came upon Project Walk, a
nonprofit organization based in Cali-
fornia.

tial for function improvement in those

Project Walk recognizes the potential for function improvement in those who suffer
from spinal-cord injury, and it taps into that through an activity-based program.
A woman said to me, You say one
thing about nutrition. Other
people say something else. It
makes me just want to pull a
towel over my head and forget
about it all. Not everything
important to know about nutri-
tion can be explained in a sound
bite or simplistic statement. And
heres a great case in point:
We know that a diet rich in vege-
tables can lower blood pressure
and improve heart function. But
did we know that some of these
health effects may be due to
their high nitrate content?
Stop the presses. Arent nitrates
the substances used to cure
meat products that we are
supposed to avoid? Yes and no.
Here is how it works, according
to an excellent review article by
registered dietitian and fitness
expert Ellen Coleman. Nitrate is
found in all vegetables and is
especially abundant in beetroot
(aka beets) and leafy greens
such as spinach. Several clinical
studies have found that supple-
menting the diet with about 2
cups daily of beetroot juice
rich in nitrates not only low-
ered blood pressure but en-
hanced athletic performance by
reducing the bodys need for
oxygen during exercise.
It makes sense. Dietary nitrate is
converted in the body to nitrite
which is then converted to nitric
oxide. Nitric oxide is a good
guy that regulates blood pres-
sure and muscle function
among other benefits. Thus,
says Coleman, nitrate-rich foods
are a source of beneficial nitric
oxide that can potentially im-
prove blood flow and enhance
exercise capabilities. Nitrate and
nitrite salts such as sodium
nitrate and potassium nitrite are
also used to preserve food. And
these levels are strictly con-
trolled. And thats where the
confusion begins.
Inorganic nitrate (what we find
naturally in beets, spinach,
celery and nitrate salts) is non-
toxic at higher doses but inorga-
nic nitrite (such as what might
be found in a dietary supple-
ment consumed by an athlete)
can cause serious harm at
considerably lower levels. In
fact, nitrite toxicity can be
lethal.

ities to improve performance.
We dont want to scare par-
ents, she said. If I go to the
doctor because Im having
problems with balance, hes
not going to assume I have a
brain tumor. When a baby
shows a head lag there are so
many other things it can be.
But this is a very real indicator
of something wrong with de-
velopment and easy things can
be done to help.
Landa planned to present
the data and other research at
the International Meeting for
Autism Research, a scientific
gathering held May 17 in To-
ronto.
She said previous studies
have shown the head lag indi-
cates delays in kids with cere-
bral palsy andpre-terminfants;
this test has not been used for
infants at risk of autism.
She recommended that all
pediatricians add the test of
postural control to their lineup
and follow children closely if a
lag exists. There are other in-
dicators for developmental de-
lays such as eye contact and
ability to grasp objects, but the
pull-to-sit test appears tobethe
best indicator for autism, Lan-
da said.
Recently, The U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Pre-
vention estimated that 1 in 88
kids has autism, 23 percent
higher than an estimate three
years ago. This is possibly due
to better diagnosis of children.

who suffer from spinal-cord inju-
ry, and it taps into that through
an activity-based program. The
five-phase program focuses on
exercises related to movement
patterns that happen during hu-
man development, in an attempt
to re-establish patterned neural
activity within the central nerv-
ous system.
The first twophases are Reacti-
vation (I) and Development and
Stabilization (II), during which
the nervous systemis stimulated.
Eccentric andConcentric Muscle
Contractions make up Phase III,
and the goal is to make muscle
contractions happen through po-
sitional movement and stimula-
tion. Phase IVis all about improv-
ing function and coordination,
andPhaseV, calledGait Training,
focuses on those who are moving
their legs or are able to walk with
or without aids.
After starting the program last
summer Nick is still in the early
phases, which Anita said take the
longest. The start of the process
involved not only training for
Nick but also for Anita and Bob
so the process could continue
once the family returned home.
Nick now works out four days
per week doing stretches, which
he said are a key component, sit-
ups, squats, balancing to streng-
then his core and total gym, or
partial weight-bearing exercises
in which his legs are bent and he
must try to straighten them out.
The results were almost imme-
diate. WhentheLegges went back
to Project Walk in December
Nicks thighs had grown an inch.
Everything theyre telling us
is supposed to happen is happen-
ing, Bob said. For anybody in
this situation, I would say to look
into it. Rehab and working out is
key.
Many doctors will tell youjust
go home, dont do much except
for some work with the arms so
you dont get too tired turning
the wheels of your chair, Anita
said, but thats just not true.
Not only is Project Walk a help
physically for the injured but for
the persons state of mind.
You dont feel like a patient
there, Nick said. There were
people of all ages, kids, my age,
older people, that I sawthat were
walkingagain. It was crazy. It was
really inspiring, and it gave me a
lot of hope.
Though the Legges are a
strong unit on their own, they
have found solace in a communi-
ty more than happy to rally
around them. Anita works at St.
Jude School in Mountain Top,
which she said has been a tre-
mendous help, particularly in
raising money for the necessary
trips to California.
I went to a meeting to thank
them for all theyve done, all the
fundraisers theyve held for us
since the beginning, and I started
crying. I told them, Im not cry-
ing because of my son because I
knowhes goingtobe OK, but Im
crying because Im just so over-
whelmed with how much every-
one has done for us.
The church, the school,
Mountain Top in general, has
been so wonderful, Bob said.
Its made the journey a bit easier
for us to continue to be positive.

TO HELP OUT
The Legge family dog Sophie lends a paw wherever she can.
The St. Jude School community
has planned several fundraisers to
support the Legge family, who will
travel to California again this
summer for more rehabilitation
for Nick Legge. A fundraiser taking
place now is spearheaded by
school parent Kim Bayley, who
works for Bensalem-based Lock-A-
Bye bags and will sell the locking
tote bags to support the family.
Lock-A-Bye bags, which come in
several different styles and in
beach and tote form, are made of
slash- and water-resistant material
and contain a slash-resistant
zipper and a dual locking mecha-
nism that locks the bag itself and
locks it to a stationary object.
The bags retail for $149.95 on
www.lockabye.com, but the pro-
motional code NLEG1352 can be
used for $5 off as well as to
ensure a $50 donation from
each purchase goes to the Nick
Legge Support Fund. Bayley also
will donate her commission of 10
percent from each bag to the fund.

some dates and times may have

Dear Abby: Im a
42-year-old woman
who has been living
with my boyfriend,
Matt. He has asked
me to marry him.
The problem is, Matt
is still married.
Matt and his wife have been sepa-
rated for eight years. I keep telling
him to get in touch with her and see
if she filed for divorce, but he keeps
putting it off.
I really do love this man, Abby.
Matt is good to me and to my chil-
dren and grandchildren, but some-
times I dont know what to think or
do. I want us to buy a house, but Im
scared that if we do, shell try to take
it from us. Please advise.
Lady in Waiting in Louisiana
Dear Lady In Waiting: I hate to be
the bearer of bad news, but a mar-
riage proposal from a man who is
still married means nothing. I urge
you to PLEASE consult a lawyer
before putting money into any joint
financial ventures with this man. He
may be good to you, your children
and grandchildren, but he hasnt been
completely forthright.
Your concerns are justified. Listen
to your womans intuition.
Dear Abby: Two years ago, I adopted
a dog from my local Humane Society.
Brandys approximate age at the
time of adoption was 16 years. I had
two wonderful years with Brandy be-
fore he died.
What I would like to share with
your readers is, when you consider
adopting a pet, please dont rule out
an animal based strictly on age. Older
animals can make excellent additions
to a family. They deserve our love
and kindness, too.
Missing Brandy in Juneau, Alaska
Dear Missing: Im sorry that you and
Brandy were not able to have more
years together, but bless you for shar-
ing your heart and home with a pet
that many might have overlooked.
Older animals can provide a great
deal of love and joy. They also are
usually housebroken something to
consider for anyone for whom pup-
pyhood and adolescence might prove
too destructive.
The local shelter is an excellent
place to find a mature companion.
Dear Abby: The letters that have
appeared in your column about safe
driving prompt this one. I hope you
will consider my experience worth
sharing.
I have poor depth perception. I
make adjustments for this problem
and check the distance between me
and the car in front of me by looking
at the distance on the road and not at
the car.
I began to notice that the cars com-
ing at me were fuzzy and that I had
to close one eye to have a clear image
of them. Then I realized I was doing
the same thing while watching televi-
sion. I mentioned it to my optom-
etrist, and she checked my eyes and
found that I had double vision. The
adjustment to my prescription was
so slight that you would not notice
it, but I can now see clearly with my
new glasses.
Clearly Focused in Minnesota
Dear Clearly Focused: Your letter
was an eye-opener. Thank you for
giving me the opportunity to remind
readers to have their vision checked
every year.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Proposal from married man is little cause for celebration for woman
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). Extend
an invite, as it will be exceed-
ingly lucky for you to do so now.
Convenience will play a big part
in whether or not your invite
is accepted, so factor the geo-
graphic desirability and time of
day into your proposal.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
may not be able to smoothly
say whats in your heart, but if
you write it out, youll come to
an interesting conclusion. Three
pages is the magic number. At
the end of the third page, a clear
direction begins to form.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
be in a position to give a VIP
what he or she is asking for.
Unfortunately, close doesnt
count. It has to be exactly right.
Double check to make sure
youve covered every detail.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Whatever you take on, be early.
Your fortunes will be augmented
when youre the first on the
scene, an initial adopter of tech-
nology and ideas, or the one who
arrives to the meeting before
everyone else.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your per-
sonal integrity prevents you
from pushing anything on others
that they do not need, even if
this is what your family, boss or
company wants you to do. Your
honesty may cost you a sale, but
it will win you a customer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
responsibilities have you wound
tight. Thats why your favorite
people are the ones who can
defuse the tension by making
you laugh. Steal relaxation wher-
ever you find it. Everything is
going to be absolutely fine.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Dont be
afraid to speak up. Instead of
asking others what theyd like to
do, putting the responsibility on
them, come up with three stellar
options and pitch them with a
smile.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
love enthusiasm, and yet you
are also aware of the dangers.
High-pitched emotion can cause
distortions of reality; the truth
gets stretched.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Your creativity is not an exhaust-
ible resource. Your job is to keep
the channels open, clearing out
restrictive thoughts and limiting
patterns on a regular basis.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A
gift will land in your hands. This
is not the return of good karma
or a reward for hard work. The
only reason this blessing comes
to you is because it wants to
belong to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The
most attractive people in the
world are the ones who know
themselves. Embracing faults
turns them into advantages.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Unfortunately, good enough
wont be good enough. This is
the kind of day when you have
to go above and beyond the call
or dont bother going at all.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 22).
Youll appreciate the opportu-
nity this year affords. You have
stellar ideas, and youll love it
when you get the chance to
try them out. Your friendship
circle widens in June. Pisces and
Sagittarius people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 4, 10,
22, 39 and 18.
