POLICE BLOTTER
KINGSTON -- A subsidence
causeda hole about 8 feet deepto
open on First Avenue Friday
morning.
Kingston Administrator Paul
Keating said a contractor will be
hired to determine what caused
the subsidence andto fill the hole
in front of 60 First Ave.
The hole openedup inthe mid-
dle of the street and was believed
to run toward the sidewalk in
front of the residence.
First Avenue andother roads in
the area were recently pavedwith
new asphalt.
Keating said the contractor
will be hired since the "apparent
emergency" is too dangerous for
borough street department em-
ployees to repair.
Officials from UGI Penn Natu-
ral Gas and Pennsylvania Amer-
ican Water Co. were on scene to
determine if the subsidence was
caused by one of those utility ser-
vices. Wyoming Valley Sanitary
Authority was expected to send
an official to investigate.
EDWARD LEWIS/THE TIMES LEADER
The municipality will hire a contractor to deal with the hole that
opened on First Avenue Friday morning.

WILKES-BARRE A city man
charged with forging his late
grandfathers name on checks
will stand trial on related charges
this month after attempting to
have the charges dropped Friday.
Matthew Dean Shaw, 22, of
North Washington Street, will
face a trial on two counts of forg-
ery and one count of theft by de-
ception on June 25, county Judge
David Lupas said.
Shaws attorney, Steven Green-
wald, said Friday his client had
spoken with his grandmother
about the case, and that she was
willing to drop the charges if res-
titution was paid.
Assistant District Attorney
Shannon Crake said Shaws
grandmother was not the direct
victim in the case, and that she
wouldobject tothe charges being
dropped.
According to court papers, on
May13, Doris Lathamtold police
her husband, David Latham, had
recently passed away and that
she discovered his signature had
been forged on two personal
checks stolenfromher residence.
Latham said one check total-
ing$230was cashedandasecond
was declined.
Latham said she believed her
grandson, Shaw, was responsible
for the theft and forgery because
he has a drug problem and had
access to her home.
Police said several other
checks were attempted to be
cashed.
Police later interviewed Shaw,
who admitted to stealing the
checks from his grandparents,
andthat he intendedonusingthe
money to buy heroin.

D
enise Linder Dunbar, this won-
derful woman, passed away
quietly at home in Key West, Fla. on
Friday, May 25, 2012, after a short
illness.
She was in the tender care of hos-
pice with her husband of 30 years
and many friends assisting, as only
Key West folks can.
Born in New York City, N.Y., she
was raised in Dalton. After many
years of private schools she said
enough and moved to California, at-
tending San Jose State College. Re-
turning to the Scranton area, she
owned a Clarks Summit book store,
was employed by Joseph The Fur-
rier and Jewelcor Travel.
She was married to Colin
Holmes. They later divorced.
On a weekend trip to Philadel-
phia, she met Greg Dunbar. They
were married on her birthday in
1982 on Long Beach Island, N.Y.
Over the following years, they lived
in Philadelphia, Charlotte and Chi-
cago, sharing a goal to someday live
in a warm climate. In 1989, while
visiting her brother Robert in Key
West, they agreed that was the
place. In 1995, after many visits to
the island, they purchased a home,
left the corporate world and settled
in Key West.
Her brothers untimely death
fromAIDS lead to her passion to as-
sist others. She was a tireless fun-
draiser for AIDS Help and Wesley
House Family Services. She served
both nonprofits as their Director of
Community Relations. After a bout
with colon cancer, she retired in
2010 to spend as much time as she
could on their other island, Isla
Mujeres, Mexico.
She is preceded in death by her
parents, Bert and Eleanor Linder;
her stepmother, Mary Ellen Liner;
and her beloved brother, Robert.
She is missed greatly by her hus-
band, Greg, his large family, who
loved her like a sister; brother-in-
law Peter Arnow and many friends
in Key West and Isla Mujeres.
Per her wishes, she will be scat-
tered at the Dry Tortugas in the
Florida Keys.

MEMORIAL DAY

th
nition of a market correction.
Mitt Romney, who on Tues-
day cleared the number of con-
vention delegates required to
win the Republican presidential
nomination, told CNBCthat the
report was devastating.
He called for an emphasis on
energydevelopment, pledgedto
kill the health care overhaul
that Obama sawthroughin2010
and said he would reduce taxes
and government spending. The
clearest fix for the economy, he
said, was to defeat Obama.
It is now clear to everyone
that President Obamas policies
have failedtoachieve their goals
and that the Obama economy is
crushing Americas middle
class, said Romney, the former
Massachusetts governor.
Obama, inMinnesota, pushed
a proposal to expand job oppor-
tunities for veterans returning
from Iraq and Afghanistan. He
saidthat the economy is not cre-
ating jobs as fast as we want
but vowed that it would im-
prove.
We will come back stronger,
he said. We do have better days
ahead.
Alan Krueger, head of the
presidents Council of Economic
Advisers, pointed out that the
country has added jobs for 27
months in a row, including 4.3
million jobs in the private sec-
tor.
Underscoring the challenge
for Obama with five months to
go in the campaign, a May poll
by The Associated Press and
GfK, a research company,
showed that 52 percent disap-
proved of Obamas handling of
the economy while 46 percent
approved.
Some financial analysts said
that the dismal job figures put
pressure on the Federal Reserve
to take additional steps to help
the economy, but it was not
clear how much good the Fed
could do beyond trying to in-
spire confidence.
The central bank has already
kept the short-terminterest rate
it controls at a record low of al-
most zero since the fall of 2008,
during the financial crisis, and
pledged to keep it there through
late 2014.
It has undertaken two rounds
of massive purchases of govern-
ment bonds, starting in March
2009 and November 2010, to
help drive long-term interest
rates down and stimulate stock
prices. Another programto low-
er long-term interest rates,
known as Operation Twist, was
announced last September and
ends in June.
But low interest rates, other
analysts pointed out, are not the
problem. An investor stampede
into bonds on Friday drove the
yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasu-
ry note as low as 1.44 percent,
the lowest on record.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke
testifies next week before a joint
committee of Congress, and the
Fed next meets June 19 and 20.
Complicating the challenge
for the economy, taxcuts passed
under President George W.
Bushwill expire after Dec. 31, as
will a cut in the Social Security
payroll tax. More than $100 bil-
lion in automatic spending cuts
to defense and domestic pro-
grams also kick in Jan. 1. Less
money in consumers pockets
next year and less spending by
the government would be a sig-
nificant drag on the economy.
Congress could extend the
tax cuts, but Republicans con-
trol the House of Representa-
tives, and they have little politi-
cal incentive to help Obama in
the November election by doing
so.
The Congressional Budget
Office has said the tax increases
and spending cuts would cause
the economy to shrink at an an-
nual rate of 1.3 percent in the
first half of next year. The econo-
my grew at a 1.9 percent annual
rate in the first quarter of this
year.
And there is little significant
actionthat the White House can
take on its own.
The job figures in the United
States added to evidence that
the world economy is in peril
again.
Spain insisted Friday that it is
financially stable, but its bor-
rowing costs are creeping close
to the 7 percent level that forced
Greece, Ireland and Portugal to
seek international bailouts.

are finding folks who are locals
who have the skills, said Helen
Humphreys of gas-infrastructure
company Williams. As I look for-
ward from two years ago theres
been a tremendous amount of
collaboration between education
and the industry.
Some companies, like Wil-
liams and Southwestern, said
they havent been affected by the
slowdown in drilling in the
Northeast, while others said they
expect a pick-up in a matter of
months that will lead to resump-
tion in hiring.
Right nowfor our area its too
slow to be hiring, said Paul
Ayers of Gas Field Specialists,
Inc., a Horseheads, N.Y.- based
company providing construc-
tion, fabrication and well-man-
agement services to drillers. But
I guarantee in the next couple
months well see it, because its
coming back.
TimHardingof CameronInter-
national, a global well-site ser-
vice provider, said his company
isnt hiringnowbut expects tobe-
ginhiringfor three positions, two
of them entry level, in a few
months.
Were going to be bringing in
more employees I would say in
the last quarter of the year, so
now is a good time for people to
submit applications so we could
review their applications and
schedule interviews, he said.
That may have been cold com-
fort for some job seekers.
Ive been out of college for
about a year now and I havent
gotten anything yet; Ive been ap-
plying everywhere, said Ryan
Gruver, 25, of Kingston, who is
seeking a position in environ-
mental resources management.
Especially entry level positions,
its pretty hard. I have a feeling if I
had some experience. Just being
right out of college, its pretty
tough.
Others were more optimistic.
Its more diverse than I ex-
pected, and theres more compa-
nies here than I expected, said
jobseeker Christine Seward, 30,
of Scranton, a recent Bloomsburg
University graduate seeking an
engineering or data analysis job.
Theres a few that sounded very
interested, anda fewthat seemed
overwhelmed with applications.
Recent graduates Jessi Silfee,
23, and Alicia Walker, 21, both of
Montrose, said they arent look-
ing only at gas industry careers,
but that natural gas offers an op-
portunity to live and work near
their hometown something
thats important to them.
It makes you feel that theres
some kind of job, Walker said of
the industry. Everyone says
youre going to graduate and
theres nojobs, but youcomehere
and at least theres something.

CARNOT-MOON A torna-
do touched down outside Pitts-
burgh on Friday evening, severe-
ly damaging nearly a dozen
homes and businesses, as heavy
weather also caused the collapse
of a university sports dome.
There were no immediate re-
ports of injuries fromthe storms,
which swept across the state.
The tornado touched down
around 5 p.m. Friday near Ligo-
nier, about 50 miles southwest of
Pittsburgh. The storm damaged
at least three businesses and
eight homes, and crews were still
assessing the damage, said
Sandy Smythe, a spokeswoman
for Westmoreland County De-
partment of Public Safety.
We have noreports of injuries,
whichis ablessing, Smythesaid.
Officials dida general survey of
the damage Friday night and
were planning to do a more de-
tailed review on Saturday; offi-
cials did not have an immediate
cost estimate for the damage. A
shelter was set up at a nearby
YMCA, but only a few people
came through, Smythe said.
About 6,000 residents were also
still without power.
Elsewhere, the storms caused
an inflatable dome at Robert
Morris University, about 10 miles
outside Pittsburgh, to collapse.
University spokeswoman Kyle
Fisher said a microburst of high
winds apparently tore the roof of
the dome. About 10 people were
inside at the time, Fisher said,
but all escaped without injury.

The Associated Press
We know the facts of the case.
Stefanie Salavantis
The Luzerne County district attorney, although
tight-lipped due to state laws involving alleged
juvenile offenses, indicated this week that
investigators have pieced together the
circumstances surrounding 14-year-old Tyler
Winsteads homicide case. The honors student at GAR High School
sustained a fatal gunshot wound on April 5.
Ban use of cameras
as traffic enforcement
A
recent letter of mine was edited, and
as such, some parts might have been
misconstrued (State urged to aban-
don traffic camera program, May 26). I
would like to clarify some points.
I support setting speed limits to the 85th
percentile traffic speed on all roads, as this
is the safest way to go. Sadly, you rarely
see this in reality. Setting too low of a
speed limit generally will lead to more
crashes, road rage and congestion.
Recently I entered an interstate work
zone near the midpoint. The normal speed
limit sign was covered, but there was no
work zone speed limit sign posted, which
was necessary. I had to guess at the proper
speed limit. If we had speed cameras and I
guessed incorrectly, I could expect an
undeserved ticket within a few months.
Just like with red-light cameras, I would
not recall the incident, could not examine
the scene at the time or collect evidence.
There would be no real witnesses to ques-
tion. I could not get information from the
camera company, and the actual driver
might not get the ticket. Basically, you are
presumed guilty and cannot properly de-
fend yourself. If cities with these devices
set them up with short yellow traffic sig-
nals or low speed limits, they could really
fleece the drivers.
Obviously, drivers will behave more
erratically, so you could expect more crash-
es, which means these devices are actually
most likely a danger.
Please contact your state elected offi-
cials and tell them to oppose and ban all
camera-based traffic enforcement. You also
can check out the National Motorists Asso-
ciation for unbiased information on these
topics.

Is this a new campaign
of guilt by association?
N
ow the Obama campaign is hitting
Mitt Romney with Donald Trumps
birther claims! This is great.
If Obamas people can go after Romneys
association with Trump over the birther
issue, can the Republicans bring up all the
bombers, communists, socialists and
American-hating, black racists Obama has
been associated with in the past? Is this a
bird of a feather test?
If so, Romney will win hands down!

than 20 years as a state senator. He also had
a great family.
Ive had the good fortune to spend lots of
time with Charlie. I am a native and long-
time resident of Kingston, which is in the
states 20th senatorial district. That was
Charles Lemmonds district from1985 to
2006.
Residents and state senators, however,
dont get many opportunities to mix it up.
The coincidence of meeting my wife in-
troduced me to her father Ed and his friends,
a wonderful gang of the local elders. Those
friends were fine, impressive and lovely peo-
ple, pillars of the community but not aloof.
On the contrary, they were a lot of fun, par-
tially because they enjoyed life as much or
more than anyone Ive met since. They revel-
ed in every pleasure of the day, I imagine
because they had known or experienced real
hardship. Most of them had lived through
two world wars, survived a Great Depression
and a flu epidemic that killed more Amer-
icans than World War II. They saw the world
change in phenomenal and profound ways.
Many lived to their late 80s and 90s.
Senator Lemmond and his wife Barbara
seemed the youngsters of those elders who
gathered for elegant, old-fashioned social
parties and dinners.
Call me Charlie, said the senator when I
met him at one of my first times at these
parties.
Charlie was a gentleman with an endless
smile and a grandfatherly demeanor. He had
a tendency to put his hand on my elbow and
bring me close. I eventually realized he had
lost some of his hearing (which he never
complained about) and the result was he
brought people close and paid attention to
what they said.
Our conversations about government were
few because Charlie didnt talk to me about
himself. He asked how I was. He asked about
my family. He asked about the newspaper.
Hed clearly read the news articles and edi-
torials and offered his perspective. He sent
notes on other occasions, particularly when
we published editorials praising the potential
of the Susquehanna River. He loved his home
and loved when someone else did, too.
About the time he sent that note in 2001,
there was an annual gathering of mostly the
elder generation. It happened to occur within
weeks after the terror attacks of Sept. 11. We
were all still a bit numb but soldiering on. It
occurred to me then that more than a few of
those lifelong friends likely stood in a parlor
likely that very living room and commis-
erated about Pearl Harbor in the months
following that attack. These folks had been
friends that long.
And about the time guests typically put on
their coats to leave someone started playing
the piano and these grand old-timers dug in
their heels once more and sang God Bless
America and My Country Tis of Thee and
The Star-Spangled Banner like the grand
old patriots they were.
Those were the kind of people Charlie
referred to in his note. They worked hard,
they led honest lives, endured the tough
times and made the community a better
place.
Charlie was right. They were great men
and women. It would be easy to say that now
he has joined the ranks of the role models of
this community.
But the truth is, Charlies been that role
model throughout his life.

MERICANS WHO
pick up the phone to
call overseas have no
way of knowing
whether theyre on the modern-
day equivalent of a party line.
For that, they can blame the un-
warranted expansion of U.S. an-
titerrorism surveillance in the
wake of 9/11.
More than a decade after the
terror attacks, the constitution-
ality of spying on untold num-
bers of likely innocent citizens
including by monitoring their
email messages has yet to be
tested by the courts. Now,
though, the Supreme Court
could clear the way for that
long-overdue legal review.
The court recently agreed to
hear the case brought by Am-
nesty International, the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union, jour-
nalists and others who contend
theyve had to curtail complete-
ly legal overseas communica-
tions because of the massive
wiretapping sweeps.
It was four years agothat Con-
gress granted U.S. intelligence
authorities broad powers to spy
on citizens overseas contacts,
codifying what had been the ex-
traordinary and secret expan-
sion of surveillance under for-
mer President George W. Bush.
Obama administration lawyers,
as did those working for Bush,
contend the plaintiffs cannot
provetheir privacywasviolated.
And why is that? Well, because
the government refuses to dis-
close whom it has spied upon.
Before issuing its final ruling,
the Supreme Court must sweep
aside road blocks put up to stop
the constitutional review to
whicheveryactionof thefederal
government should be subject-
ed.
Of course citizens shouldnt
have to wait to have their priva-
cy rights restored. Thats a job
for Congress whenthe2008For-
eign Intelligence Surveillance
Act comes up for renewal later
this year.

VERY STATE budget
season requires tough
choices, difficult ques-
tions focused on how
to accomplish certain policy
goals with a finite, sometimes
diminished, amount of re-
sources.
We suggest that saving $150
million by taking $200 a month
from disabled people
will bringnohonor or
accolades to this
state government.
Dont forget: That
$150millionamounts
to about five-sixths
the amount hoarded
as a reserve fund by a
General Assembly
that has little need to
insulate itself from
unlikely budget dead-
locks with an ideologically
compatible governor.
Republican Gov. Tom Cor-
bett proposed ending the Gen-
eral Assistance cash benefit in
his February budget proposal.
The Republican-controlled
Senate voted May 9 to restore
some of the money Corbett
wanted to slash from higher
education, public schools,
county-level social services to
nameafewbut let General As-
sistance elimination stand.
According to The Associated
Press, people eligible for Gener-
al Assistance include disabled
or sick adults without minor
children, domestic violence
survivors, adults in intensive al-
cohol or drug treatment, chil-
dren living with an unrelated
adult, and adults caring for
someone who is sick or dis-
abled, or for an unrelated child.
A coalition of more than 100
groups including the AARP,
the United Way and Catholic,
Methodist, Lutheran and Jew-
ish groups re-
leased a letter last
week supporting
the General Assist-
ance cash benefit
while the Senate-

ing the likelihood those people

Within the parameters of a

gridlocked.
Senate Democrats believe they
have a proposal that not only cre-
ates jobs and fixes dilapidated
roads, but does so with no new
taxes or increasing any taxes,
Hughes said.
Its money thats already in
place. It just pushes it out, added
Hughes, who serves as the Sen-
ate Democratic Appropriations
chairman.
At the core of the plan is the
creation of a new tax incentive
programthat would fund $1.5 bil-
lion in water, sewer and public
transit infrastructure improve-
ments. The principal on the $1.5
billion in bonds would be paid
fromalready earmarkedshale tax
revenues and local contributions
for mass transit projects. The
plan would also use federal Grant
Anticipation Revenue Vehicle, or
GARVEE, bonds to generate $1
billion to fund a short termtrans-
portation improvement plan.
GARVEE bonds, backed by the
pledge of future federal transpor-
tation subsidies, are used by 35
states.
Those gathered Friday said the
state must act soon because not
only will residents eventually pay
more for the costly repairs, po-
tential economic development
could be lost.
Were not going to be able to
retain those jobs yet alone attract
new ones, Yudichak said.
The Democratic senators said
theyve received support for
transportation budgets from Re-
publican colleagues who also are
frustrated with a lack of response
from Gov. Tom Corbett.
Republicans and Democrats
in the General Assembly have all
introduced plans, Yudichak
said. Unfortunately, for whatev-
er reason, the governor has yet
to act.
We agree that transportation
funding is a critical issue in Penn-
sylvania, said Erik Arneson, pol-
icy director for Senate Majority
Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Ches-
ter. Sen. Cormanhas introduced
legislation based on the report
from the governors commission
on transportation funding, and
wewill reviewthis proposal inde-
tail. Its also important for the
governor to clearly articulate his
position and which, if any, of his

This is not a powerful posi-

He said he believes the state

student, Packard said, again
drawing laughter. But we all
knowhe was very intelligent an
intellectual, but at times impa-
tient and critical.
Packard said Sordoni attend-
ed Wyoming Seminary Day
School and then a host of other
schools and a host of colleges.
You can say he got a well-round-
ed education, Packard said.
Packard talked about Sordo-
nis personality he was his
own man, he said. Sordoni de-
veloped many deep and lasting
friendships but had a low toler-
ance for long clich-filled
speeches and boring people.
George liked some people ve-
ry much, Packard said.
Charles Vogt and Geoffrey
Mason, both from Florida, said
Sordoni was serious about re-
covery.
He always had a hand out
ready to help, Vogt said. He
had a bluntness for what needed
to be said.
Vogt said he and Sordoni
laughed a lot.
When I get on my knees ev-
ery day to pray, George will al-
ways be my voice of recovery,
Vogt said.
Mason said on the night Sor-
doni died, the two had met be-
cause Mason was in need of
comfort and support. Mason
asked to meet a half hour earlier
than planned.
He said Sordoni complied be-
cause he knew his friend was
troubled.
He will leave a legacy of un-
derstanding and fellowship,
Mason said. He possessed a
unique greatness. He really
could light up a room when he
entered; he was larger than life.
What a gift he was to all of us.
The final speaker was Nicho-
las Sordoni, Georges son. He
thanked the speakers and the
hundreds in attendance.
We will remember dad in two
ways how he made people
laugh and how he helped peo-
ple, Nicholas said. And he was
a relentless parent. He was an
extraordinary man and an ex-
ceptional father.
Nicholas thanked his mother,
Andrea, for being strong and for
all she did for the four children:
Nicholas, Sarah, Samantha and
Abigail.
Sordoni was a son of the late
Andrew Jack and Margaret
Barnard Sordoni. He split his
time between Naples, Fla. and
the Back Mountain area.
His obituary said he was an ac-
tive member of the community
and led a life dedicated to help-
ing others. He was one of the
founding members of the Lu-
zerne Foundation, a board mem-
ber of the Geisinger Foundation
from1973 to 2010, and had been
on the Board of Wyoming Semi-
nary Preparatory School since

paid PSC $253,863 in 2009,
$287,023 in 2010 and $380,406 in
2011.
Ceppa Hirkosaidshe considers
the no-bid, no-contract sales an
example of how Mayor Tom
Leighton is taking care of
friends who donate to his cam-
paigns. The chief executive offi-
cer of PSC, Ronald Simms, and
his wife, Rhea, were among the
top contributors to Leightons
campaign for mayor last year, do-
nating $2,800.
If you look at the finances for
his campaign, youwill seethema-
jority of people on there either
work for the city, are vendors for
the city or are some way associat-
ed with a vendor, Ceppa Hirko
said.
Leighton responds
Leightonadamantlydeniedthe
Simms contribution played any
role in the company getting the
fuel sales. He noted PSC has pro-
vided fuel to the city for about 50
years.
This is not someone I brought
in new. They were here for many
previous administrations,
Leighton said. If we fired XYZ
fuel company and brought them
inwithout a bid, youmight have a
legitimate concern, but not when
theyve been doing this so many
years.
Barry Kauffman, executive di-
rector of Common Cause Penn-
sylvania, a statewide taxpayer
watchdog group, said bidding
procedures are in place for a rea-
son: toensuregovernment bodies
get the best deal and to protect
against cronyism.
If they dont bid it out, they
dont knowif theyare gettingany-
thing competitive, he said. Tax-
payer dollars are very scarce. The
public deserves to know theyre
getting the biggest bang for their
buck.
Leighton and Drew McLaugh-
lin, the citys administrative coor-
dinator, said the city has stuck
with PSC because it provides su-
perior service that cannot be du-
plicated by any other supplier.
For instance, PSCcan dispatch
a fuel tanker to the scene of a ma-
jor fire, like the one that engulfed
the Murray complex a few years
ago, to refill fire trucks, allowing
them to stay at the scene, they
said.
The city owns gas pumps locat-
ed at the public works depart-
ment, but vehicles have the op-
tion of filling at a PSC-owned sta-
tion at the same price. Thats
been invaluable during emergen-
cies, like the evacuation for
20,000 people during the floods
in September, they said.
Leightonsaidthe ability to pro-
vide that service is the basis upon
which he considers the PSC pur-
chases to be a professional ser-
vice that exempts it from bid-
ding requirements.
Professional services are typi-
cally definedas those providedby
lawyers, engineers, architects
and others with specialized train-
ing, according to a purchasing
guidepublishedbythegovernors
office. The courts have held it can
include other services, such as
ambulance service.
Leighton said he believes PSC
fits that category because other
suppliers do not have the special-
izedabilitytoservicecityvehicles
as PSC.
It comes under professional
service. They are providing a pro-
fessional service, Leighton said.
Activist: Bidding essential
Ceppa Hirko said she doesnt
thinkthesaleof fuel, regardless of
the service, comes close to fitting
the definition of a professional
service.
The bottom line is they are
supposed to bid this out, she
said. How do we know we are
getting a reasonable rate? They
spent over $900,000the last three
years. Howdo we knowwe could
not have gotten a better price and
paid $700,000?
Kauffmanalsosaidthe citys in-
terpretationsounds like a bit of a
stretch.
They are providing a product
they service. If you buy a refriger-
ator and you have a service con-
tract . . . the service contract can
bevaluable, but what yourereally
buying is a refrigerator, he said.
Its not clear how good, or bad,
of a deal the city is getting from
PSC. The Times Leader attempt-
edtoget examples of pricingfrom
several other municipalities, but
completerecords couldnot beim-
mediately obtained to conduct a
complete analysis.
McLaughlin said even if a com-
parisonweretoshowthecitypaid
more, thats not the only factor
that needs to be considered.
We must emphasize that the
qualityof service providedbyPet-
roleum Services encompasses
more thansimply providingfuel,
McLaughlin said. We are confi-
dent that the quality of service is
consistent with the price.
Leighton also questioned why
Wilkes-Barre is being singled out
for scrutiny. He said PSCofficials
told himthey sell gasoline to oth-
er municipalities through no-bid
contracts as well. Simms, the
CEO of PSC, did not return a
phone message Thursday seek-
ing the identity of those commu-
nities.
A reporter attempted to con-
tact several similarly sized com-
munities to determine their poli-
cy onbidding fuel. Only two, Paul
Keating, administrator for King-
ston, and Mary Ellen Lieb, acting
director of administration for Ha-
zleton, responded.
LiebsaidHazletondoes bidout
its fuel purchases. The contract,
which runs to Jan. 31, 2013, was
awarded to Superior Plus Energy.
Keating said Kingston, which
expects to spend roughly
$105,000 for gas and diesel this
year, alsogets its fuel fromSuperi-
or Plus, but the contract was not
bid out.
Keating said the municipality
sought bids in the past, but stop-
ped the practice several years ago
eventhoughits charter requires
bids for anything over $20,000 --
because it got only one bid each
year, and that was from Superior
Plus.
Every single year for maybe
five, sixor sevenyears straight we
received only one bid, so we re-
mained with them, he said.
Keating acknowledged it was
possible the municipality might
get a lower rate if it bid out the
purchase, but said any price dif-
ference would likely be negligi-
ble.
When you are buying whole-
sale fuel, there is not a big margin
for flexibility in pricing, Keating
said. Im not saying somebody
may not be able to give a better
price, but its not going to a mate-
rial amount.
Keating said hes confident the
municipality is getting a good
price, but, based on questions
raised about the no-bid practice,
he would consider revisiting the
issue.
Due to the fact you brought
this to my attention, when we
cross next years budget, I will re-
consider bidding fuel, he said.

lation.
In Wilkes-Barre, its auditor,
ParenteBeard of Wilkes-Barre,
did not issue any finding relating
toano-bidawardfor thepurchase
of gasoline, diesel fuel and other
items from Petroleum Service
Company in Wilkes-Barre in
2010, according to a reviewof the
audit.
The PSC purchases have been
questionedbycityresident Karen
Ceppa Hirko, who obtained re-
cords that showthecompanywas
paid more than $920,000 from
2009to2011. That far exceeds the
$10,000 threshold for purchases
for whichbids must besought un-
der the citys home rule charter.
Themarketingdirector for Par-
enteBeard did not return two
phone messages Thursday seek-
ing comment onwhy the firmdid
not see the PSCpurchases as a vi-
olation. Bernie Mengeringhau-
sen, who served as city controller
until he retired at the end of 2011,
also did not return a phone mess-
age.
City officials contend the PSC
purchases did not have to be bid
out because the company is offer-
ing a professional service, which
is one of the exceptions for bid-
ding. Ceppa Hirko questions that
interpretation.
Under state law, if an auditor
fails to identify a bidding viola-
tionthat a resident of a communi-
ty believes exists, that resident
can challenge the audit in county
court within 45 days of its com-
pletion.
But that challenge comes with
a cost.
In most cases, the resident
would be required to post a bond
that would cover the cost of the
legal proceedings, according to
the Local Government Commis-
sion. The city would be entitled
to collect on that bond if the tax-
payer loses the challenge.
Andtheburdenof proof is high.
To prevail in obtaining a sur-
charge the resident must prove
therewas abiddingviolation, and
that the city suffered a financial
loss as a result of the conduct.
That couldproveexceptionally
challenging for the PSC purchas-
es as the challenger would have
to obtain records from other mu-
nicipalities to compare prices.
Ceppa Hirko acknowledged a
court challenge would be time
consuming, but said shes pre-
paredtotakethat action. Shesaid
her first move will likely be to ask
the current controller, Kathy
Kane, to investigate.
Kane, whotookoffice this year,
has authoritytoconduct aninves-
tigation and, if she finds a viola-
tion, issue a surcharge against
any city officials involved. She
did not return phone messages
over two days seeking comment.
TheThirdClass CityCodesays
the surcharge could be up to 10
percent of the contract, but its
not clear if that would apply to
the citybecause it operates under
a home rule charter, with super-
sedes the code. The charter is si-
lent on penalties for bidding vio-
lations.

outside the Beekman Street
house and not having eaten all
day.
I dont know nothing about
making no damn meth, said
Grodis beforehis hearingbegan.
The out-of-work tattooist was
a heroin addict and sniffed a bag
of heroin before the raid, he
said.
Grodis andNoblehavenoper-
manent address, he said, andde-
scribedtheBeekmanStreet resi-

They were charged with man-
ufacture of a controlled sub-
stance, possession with intent
to deliver a controlled sub-
stance, possession of precursor
chemicals with intent to manu-
facture a controlled substance,
unlawful possession of a con-
trolled substance, possession of
drugparaphernalia, riskinga ca-
tastrophe, illegal dumping of
methamphetamine waste and
conspiracy.
Grodis was committed to the
Luzerne County Correctional
Facility for lack of $100,000
straight bail. Nobile was com-
mitted to the prison for lack of
$50,000 straight bail.
When Grodis pointed out his
bail was twice that of Noble, she
quipped, it was because she was
not a career criminal like him.
Soprano said Grodis and No-
ble were using a vacant house
next door at 70 Beekman St. to
discard garbage generated from
materials used in the cooking
process. Eight bags were filled
with garbage behind the vacant
house, Soprano said.
According to arrest papers fil-
ed against the pair, when police
explained the charge of disposal
of meth waste to Noble, she re-
sponded, Where else were we
supposed to put it?
The arrest papers listed the
items seized in the raid: meth,
red phosphorus, Coleman fuel,
iodine, Heet brand gas line an-
ti-freeze, lye, pseudoephedrine,
hydrogen peroxide, funnels,
glassware and filters. In the
trash at the next-door residence
were iodine bottles, peroxide
bottles, pseudoephedrine pur-
chase receipts, empty Heet bot-
tles and papers in the name of
Noble.
It was the second meth bust
by state drug agents in South
Wilkes-Barre in the last 10 days
and the second one involving a
parent and child.
Arrest papers filed against
Grodis said investigators found
his daughter, Brittany Figas, in
the BeekmanStreet home at the
time of the raid.
She told them she was there
the night before when he made
meth and used the illegal drug
she obtained from her father.
Figas was not charged with
Grodis and Noble.
On May 22 agents arrested
Jeffrey Deyo, 41, and his son Jef-
frey Deyo Jr., 18, whenthey raid-
ed their house at 80 Church St.
finding a suspected meth lab.
The father and son waived their
rights topreliminaryhearings in
Wilkes-Barre Central Court on
Thursday, sending drug offens-
es to county court.
Soprano said Fridays meth
bust was the result of neighbors
complaining about the nuisance
property.
BeekmanStreet resident Nick
Marino Jr. said the neighbor-
hood is peaceful.
Relatively quiet with a good
bunch of people in the area. We
look out for each other. This is
quite surprising, Marino Jr.
said. Marino resides about 60
yards from the suspected meth
house.
Court records indicate arrest
warrants were issued for Grodis
in January and March when he
failed to appear for court hear-
ings on unrelated meth posses-
sion charges filed by city police
in March 2011. He was sen-
tenced to one to three years in
the county correctional facility
in 2000 on charges he sexually
assaulted two women, accord-
ing to court records.
Noble was sentenced on Feb.
10 to one year probation on
charges Kingston police found

EDWARDSVILLE Some-
times teams are told to act like
theyve been there before.
Northwests Jaden Perrillo
and Kelsey Yustat looked plenty
at ease in the District 2 Class A
softball championship game,
dancing on the field during the
changeover to start the sixth in-
ning.
Weve been playing all these
games, Perrillo explained. I
came out saying to myself I cant
be nervous, I
cant be stiff out
there. I just
wanted to relax
out there be-
cause when you
are relaxed, you
play so much
better.
They and their Rangers team-
mates danced off the field, as
well, carrying the programs first
district championship plaque
along with them after a 4-1 win
over Blue Ridge at Wilkes Ral-
stonAthletic ComplexonFriday.
This is unbelievable, North-
west pitcher Rachel Linso said.
We lost to Old Forge last year
before the title game. We have
been second-best before. Weve
got silver medals. Nowwe have a
championship.
The game was perhaps not as
close as the final score indicated.
Northwest enjoyed an 11-5 ad-
vantage in hits and had the
games only extra-base hits a
triple by Taylor Perlis in the fifth
inning and a double by Olivia
McCorkel in the seventh. The
Rangers left11runners onbasein
six turns at the plate, nine of
which were in scoring position.
The girls really kept their
confidence up, Northwest
coach Karen May said. We
chipped away at this one little by
little. Im speechless. This
(championship) couldnt hap-
pen to a better group of girls.
Blue Ridges lone senior, pitch-
er Jackie Furch, had a lot to do
with that. She fanned seven
while working out of jam after
jam.
She was worried about the
umpires calling her for an illegal
pitch, Blue Ridge coach Bob Pa-
velski said of Furchs early strug-
gles. She got warned the last
game. She doesnt usually walk
that many (four).
But the talented Northwest li-
neup was simply too much for

PARIS If it seems Roger Federer
breaks one record or another every time
he wins a match, thats because he does
these days.
Then again, good as Federer is, he cant
top this: His next opponent at the French
Open, Belgiums David Goffin, is unbea-
ten in Grand Slam main-draw matches.
(OK, so the kids only 3-0, but still.)
Yes, before Federer can take on Novak
Djokovic or Rafael Nadal at Roland Gar-
ros this year, hell need to defeat Goffin,
thefirst luckyloser a player beatenin
qualifying who sneaks into the field via
someones withdrawal to reach the
fourth round at any Grand Slam tourna-
ment in 17 years, and only the sev-
enth to make it that far.
Now Im playing against Rog-
er, the 109th-ranked Goffin said
after beating Lukasz Kubot of
Poland 7-6 (4), 7-5, 6-1 on Fri-
day, and I cant believe it.
A fresh-faced 21-year-old
whose voice was barely a whis-
per and whose hands fidgeted during
an extended interview session with
reporters, the slender, 5-foot-11
Goffin matter-of-factly discussed

Federer faces lucky loser next
The key, as Matt McGloin saw
it, was trust.
When picking a starting quar-
terback, Bill OBrien needed a
guy he had full faith in to handle
a radically new and more com-
plex offense.
You have to prove yourself to
him, that youre capable of run-
ning his offense, McGloin said
of Penn States new coach earlier
this spring. Prove to him that
you can be that guy and he can
trust you enough to go out there
and do everything he asks of
you.
In this offense, hes got to
have complete trust in his quar-
terback. He demands a lot out of
you. Its pretty much all on the
quarterbacks shoulders.
And in 2012, the offense will
be back on McGloins shoulders.
The senior from Scranton was
officially dubbed the Nittany Li-
ons starting quarterback on Fri-
day.
He was the most consistent
guy throughout the spring, has
good command of the offense at
this point, OBrien said prior to
a charity golf tournament in
State College. Hes a tough kid,
hes a competitive kid, hes
shown good leadership qualities.
It just felt like hes the No. 1
quarterback.
Asked to elaborate on what set
McGloin apart for the job,
OBrien proceeded to rattle off a
list.
Completion percentage, he
said. Getting us in and out of
the right plays getting us into
the right play and out of a bad
play. Knowledge of the offense.
Being prepared in meetings. Cut
down on his interceptions as
spring ball went on. Completed
about 65 to 70 percent of his pas-
ses in the spring. Ran some of
our situational stuff pretty well.
Need me to keep going? Just
did a very good job of being con-
sistent.

NEW YORK Johan Santana
pitched the first no-hitter in New
York Mets history, helped by an
umpires missed call and an out-
standing catch in left field in an
8-0 victory over the St. Louis Car-
dinals on Friday night.
After a string of close calls in
their 51-season history, Santana
finally finished the job in the
Mets 8,020th game since the
team was born in 1962.
Finally, the first one, Santana
said. That is the greatest feeling
ever.
He needed a couple of key as-
sists to pull off the majors third
no-hitter this season.
Carlos Beltran, back at Citi
Field for the first time since the
Mets traded him last July, hit a
line drive over third base in the
sixth inning that hit the foul line
and should have been called fair.
But third base umpire Adrian
Johnson ruled it foul and the no-
hitter was intact eventhougha
replay clearly showed a mark
where the ball landed on the
chalk line.
Hometown kid Mike Baxter
then made a tremendous catch in
left field to rob Yadier Molina of
extra bases inthe seventh. Baxter
crashed into the wall, injured his
shoulder and left the game.
Makinghis11thstart sincemis-
sing last season following shoul-
der surgery, Santana (3-2) threw
a career-high 134 pitches in his
second consecutive shutout. He
struck out eight and walked five.
Amazing, Santana said.
Coming into this season I was
just hopingtocomebackandstay
healthy and help this team, and
now I am in this situation in the
greatest city for baseball.
Phil Humber pitched a perfect
game for the Chicago White Sox

George Teague trainee has raced fairly well the last several weeks,
winning in three of his last five starts, including a victory at Pocono

stallion quarter-poled just past the opening stanza and never looked
back, winning in a sharp1:49.4, including a :27 final quarter. He faces
much tougher competition tonight, but I believe hes up to the task in

Philadelphia.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Felipe Paulino kept the scuf-
fling Athletics at bay for six
innings Friday night, and the
Kansas City Royals bullpen
handled the rest in a 2-0 victo-
ry that gave Oakland its sea-
son-worst ninth straight loss.
Yuniesky Betancourt came
off the disabled list to provide
an RBI double in the first, and
Mike Moustakas added an RBI
blooper to left later in the
inning, helping Kansas City
win for only the sixth time in
23 games at Kauffman Stadi-
um this season.
Paulino (3-1) has emerged
as the ace of the Royals hap-
hazard starting rotation, hold-
ing the opposition off the
scoreboard through six in-
nings for the fourth time in six
starts.
Red Sox 7, Blue Jays 2
TORONTO David Ortiz
homered, Clay Buchholz won
his sixth straight start in To-
ronto and the Red Sox beat
the Blue Jays, their fourth
victory in five games.

games since May 8 and 9 at
Kansas City.
Rays 5, Orioles 0
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
David Price scattered four hits
over 7 1-3 innings, Hideki
Matsui homered and the Rays
beat the Orioles.
Price (7-3), who struck out
five and walked two, retired
his first 13 batters. He got
some defensive help when
right fielder Matt Joyce made
a full-extension, tumbling
backhanded catch on J.J. Har-
dys drive to end the fourth.
Price was charged with a
fourth hit after a postgame
scoring change that gave Wil-
son Betemit the left-hand-
ers final batter a single on
a grounder first called an error
on second baseman Ben Zo-
brist.
Matsui hit a two-run homer
off Wei-Yin Chen (4-2) to put
the Rays up 5-0 in the first.
Indians 7, Twins 1
CLEVELAND Derek
Lowe shut down Minnesotas
lineup with ease for the sec-
ond time this season and Ja-
son Kipnis hit a grand slam,
leading the Indians to a win
over the Twins.
Lowe (7-3) carried a two-hit
shutout into the seventh be-
fore the Twins scratched out a
run on three hits. The right-
hander pitched a shutout
against the Twins on May 15.
Yankees 9, Tigers 4
DETROIT Curtis Gran-
derson hit a grand slam
against his former team in the
second inning, and CC Sa-
bathia made the lead hold up
after a shaky start, helping the
Yankees to a win over the
Tigers.
Alex Rodriguez added a
two-run homer in the ninth for
New York.
It was tied at 1 when Gran-
derson cleared the bases with
a drive just inside the pole in
right field off left-hander
Casey Crosby (0-1), who was
making his major league de-
but.
Sabathia (7-2) allowed three
runs and eight hits in seven
innings. New York used five
relievers. Rafael Soriano came
on with the bases loaded and
one out in the ninth. He got
Miguel Cabrera to ground into
a double play for his seventh
save.

STANDINGS/STATS
at Seattle on April 21and Jered
Weaver of the Los Angeles An-
gels no-hit Minnesota on May
2.
Santana got a warm ovation
as he headed out to the mound
for the ninth inning, and the
two-time Cy Young Awardwin-
ner quickly retired Matt Holli-
day and Allen Craig on shallow
fly balls.
With the crowd of 27,069 on
its feet ina frenzy, WorldSeries
MVP David Freese went to a
3-2count beforehis foul tipwas
caught by Josh Thole, just acti-
vatedfromthedisabledlist ear-
lier in the day.
Santana pumped his left fist
and slammed it into his glove
as Thole showed the ball to
plate umpire Gary Cederstrom
and then went running out to-
ward the mound.
The Mets rushed out of the
dugout andmobbedSantana in
a raucous dogpile as security
tackled a fan who ran onto the
field near home plate. Mo-
ments later, the pitcher raised
his right arm and saluted the
crowd, which was chanted his
name from the eighth inning
on. The big scoreboard in cen-
ter flashed Santanas picture
and read No-Han.
It was a crazy night my
fastball moving all over the
place, Santana said.
The Cardinals should have
had a hit in the sixth.
Beltran, traded by the Mets
to San Francisco last July after
6
1
2 rocky seasons in New York,
led off with a low liner over
third. Television replays
showed the ball nicked the foul
line just behind the bag, taking
a small chunk of chalk with it.
But Johnson called it foul im-
mediately and Beltran eventu-
ally grounded out.
It was tough because it hap-
pened so quick. I wasnt able to
see anything, Santana said.
The umpire made his call
and that was the end of it, he
said.
But with the next batter at
the plate, Cardinals third base
coach Jose Oquendo twice got
in Johnsons face for heated ar-
guments the two even ap-
peared to bump each other.
Rookie manager Mike Mathe-
nyalsocame out toprotest, but
nobody was ejected.
Almost exactly two years
ago on June 2, 2010 Ar-
mando Galarraga lost a perfect
game when first base umpire
Jim Joyce admittedly blew a
call that shouldve resulted in
the final out. The miss in De-
troit instead gave Clevelands
Jason Donald a single with two
outs in the ninth.
Major League Baseball had
considered expanding replay
for this seasontoreviewfair-or-
foul calls and trapped balls.
The change required the ap-
proval of MLB and the unions
representing the umpires and
the players when there was
noagreement, extra replay was
postponed until at least 2013.
Santana cruised from there
into the seventh, when Molina
hit a one-out drive to deep left.
Baxter, who grew up rooting
for the Mets only 10 minutes
from where Citi Field stands,
raced back and made a terrific
catch before crashing full force
into the fence.
Baxter stayed down on the
warning track as Mets trainers,
players andcoaches rushedout
to him. Santana crouched in
the infield with a couple of
teammates and then made a
few warmup tosses to stay
loose.
Baxter walked off the field
under his own power, with
trainer Ray Ramirez holding
the outfielders left arm. The
Mets said Baxter has a bruised
left shoulder and was having
more tests.
When I saw him running
back onto the warning track
and he made that play, it was
amazing. An outstanding play
and he saved the game, Santa-
na said. All these guys, I want
to thank them for what we ac-
complished.
Lucas Duda hit a three-run
homer off Adam Wainwright
(4-6) anddrove infour runs, ty-
ing a career high. Daniel Mur-
phy added three RBIs.
The San Diego Padres, who
started play in 1969, are now
the only teamwithout a no-hit-
ter.

1928 Les Bell of the Boston Braves hit three
home runs and a triple at Braves Field, but the Cin-
cinnati Reds came away with a 20-12 triumph.
1928 The Philadelphia Phillies defeated the St.
Louis Cardinals 2-1. All the runs came from three
pinch-hit home runs.
1941 Lou Gehrig died in New York at age 37.
1949 The Philadelphia Phillies hit five homers in
the eighth inning against the Cincinnati Reds. Andy
Seminick hit two and Del Ennis, Willie Jones, and
Schoolboy Rowe hit one apiece. Seminick also
homered earlier in the game.
1959 The Baltimore Orioles-Chicago White Sox
game at Comiskey Park was delayed for nearly half
an hour as a swarm of gnats overcame the field.
Groundskeepers tried using bug sprays and torch-
es, but the gnats wouldnt budge. A postgame fire-
works display was brought in fromcenter field and a
smoke bomb was attached to the framework. The
gnats left and the Orioles defeated the White Sox,
3-2.
1990 Randy Johnson pitched the first no-hitter in
the Seattle Mariners history as he beat the Detroit
Tigers 2-0. The 6-foot-10 left-hander walked six and
struck out eight while pitching the first no-hitter at
the Kingdome, which opened for baseball in 1977.
1996 Houston starter Darryl Kile tied the modern
major league record by hitting four batters in a 2-0
loss at St. Louis, and the first to do it in the NL since
Moe Drabowsky in 1957.
2000 Tampa Bays Fred McGriff hit his 400th ca-
reer home run, but the Devil Rays lost to the Mets
5-3.
2000 Rick Aguilera of the Chicago Cubs became
the 13th pitcher with 300 saves in a 2-0 win over
Detroit. Aguilerareachedthemark in614career ap-

west took the lead in the third as
Susie Mendegro led off with a
bunt single.
McCorkel followed with the
second of her three hits, a single
to center. The ball was misplayed
and Mendegro raced around the
bases to give the Rangers a 2-1
lead.
We wanted everybody to be a
part of it, May said. We banked
on our hitting. We struggled a lit-
tle bit early, but our bats got go-
ing.
The district title was all but
clinched in the fifth inning as
Northwests first five batters had
hits. Perlis triple to center gave
the Rangers a lift after their lead-
off runner was thrown out at
thirdtryingtotaketwobases ona
wild pitch. Perrillo followed with
a single to right to bring home
Perlis.
Her hit was so big, Perrillo
said of Perlis. Tiki has been so
helpful with everything for us un-
derclassmen. That hit made it
easy to relax (at the plate).
Yustat singledtocenter andSa-
ra Gleco did the same, driving in
Perrillo.
This win came from every-
one, Linso said. We had run-
ners, we had bunters. Everybody
on the team contributed to this
one.
Linso dutifully scattered five
hits andtwowalks. She pickedup
four strikeouts and recorded
three assists and a put out.
Sometimes Rachel doesnt let
us get too many chances because
shes a great pitcher and strikes
everyone out, Perrillo said. To-
day, we got some work and we
had her back.
Blue Ridge, which has played
in the last six District 2 Class A
softball finals, played a very
strong game. Despite the pro-
grams history of success, none of
the current players had reached
states, as the Red Raiders last
went to the PIAA Tournament in
2007.

as a child.
Since I was little, Ive
watched Roger play on TV. To
me, he plays almost perfect ten-
nis. His technique is perfect. I al-
so like him at the human level;
hes a very good person on and
off the court, said Goffin, who
was able to make his Grand
Slam debut because Frances
Gael Monfils pulled out with a
knee injury. I expect a very
tough match on Sunday, of
course. I dont really know how
Ill prepare for it, but Ill try to
have fun.
Informed that his next oppo-
nent is an unabashed fan, Feder-
er grinned and replied, Not the
first time it happens.
Probably so. After all, the 30-
year-old Federer has been win-
ning major titles since 2003,
when Goffin was 12. Hes been
winning Grand Slam matches
since 2000, and Fridays 6-3, 4-6,
6-2, 7-5 victory over Nicolas Ma-
hut was Federers 235th, adding
to his Open era record.
Federer happened to catch a
bit of Goffins second-round
matchup against Arnaud Clem-
ent, the 2001 Australian Open
runner-up who said this would
be his final French Open.
The condensed scouting re-
port?
Nice game. Smooth ball-
striker. And talented, obvious-
ly, Federer said. Otherwise, he
wouldnt be coming that far in
this tournament.
That match against Clement
went five sets, as did Goffins
first-round victory over 23rd-
seeded Radek Stepanek the
only five-setters of his career.
Against Kubot at intimate,
1,559-seat Court 7, Goffin was
raucously cheered by flag-wav-
ing, chorus-singing supporters
who made the short trip from
Belgium.
It gave me wings, Goffin
said. I felt as if I was playing at
home.
Coincidentally, thelast lucky
loser to make it this far at a ma-
jor tournament was also Bel-
gian, DickNorman, whodidit at
Wimbledon in 1995.
Now comes by far the tough-
est test of Goffins young career.
Or, looked at another way, a
bonus, as he put it: the thrill of
standing across the net fromhis
favorite player and seeing how
he stacks up.
Asked whether he believes he
can defeat Federer, Goffin said,
If I say yes, it might sound pre-
tentious. And if I say no, it will
look like a lack of ambition.
Well see. Ill prepare like I dofor
other matches. Ill try to go for
my shots and have fun on a big
court.
Whichever man advances will
stay on course for a possible
semifinal showdown against
Djokovic, who stretched his
Grand Slam winning streak to
24 matches with a lickety-split
6-1, 6-2, 6-2 win over Nicolas
Devilder of France.
Heading on court after No. 18
Stanislas Wawrinkas five-set
victory over No. 11 Gilles Si-
mon, Djokovic and Devilder
didnt get started until 7:48 p.m.
But Djokovic was efficient as
could be, wrapping things up at
9:32 p.m., just as the sun was
about to set.
The top-seeded woman, Vic-
toria Azarenka, also barely beat
darkness while beating her foe,
Aleksandra Wozniak of Canada,
6-4, 6-4.
Maria Sharapova isnt wast-
inganytime, either, inpursuit of
a career Grand Slam at least
once she manages to get on
court, anyway.
The No. 2-seeded Sharapova
has dropped a grand total of two
games so far, including a 6-1, 6-1
victory over Ayumi Morita of Ja-
panina second-roundmatchde-
layed a day because John Isner
and Paul-Henri Mathieu didnt
finishtheir18-16fifthset until af-
ter 9 p.m. on Thursday.
Pretty long day yesterday. I
feel like I warmed up, like, 20
times for this match, Sharapo-
va said. Yeah, it was one of
those days where you just want
to get on the court and then
youre at the courts all day and
sitting, waiting around, eating,
sleeping. Its, like, a good way to
put someone into retirement.
Shes scheduled to be back on
court Saturday in the third
roundagainst No. 28PengShuai
of China. The past two French
Open winners will play Ameri-
cans: 2011 champion Li Na of
China against Christina McHale
of Englewood Cliffs, N.J., and
2010championFrancesca Schia-
vone of Italy against Varvara
Lepchenko of Allentown, Pa.
McHale and Lepchenko
might derive inspiration from
19-year-old Sloane Stephens of
Coral Springs, Fla.
Stephens eliminated Math-
ilde Johansson of France 6-3, 6-2
Friday to reach the fourth round
at a Grand Slamtournament for
the first time, then rejoiced at
the thought of what counts for
success in this day and age.
Im excited, Stephens said,
because now Im going to have
more Twitter followers.

Paul Jones will enter the presea-
son as the No. 2 quarterback
with Rob Bolden as the third-
stringer. OBrien said he ex-
pects to release a team-wide
depth chart next week, possibly
on Tuesday morning.
With Penn State needing to
get comfortable with the new
offense, it was critical to make
the decision as early as possi-
ble.
When you go into training
camp, you gotta make sure that
one guy is getting the bulk of
the reps. You dont have time to
give three guys equal reps,
OBrien said. So thats number
one. And then in the summer-
time, without the coaches being
around, you have to have lead-
ers on both sides of the ball.
And Matt, obviously being a
quarterback, is a leader on the
offensive side of the ball. So
that goes into the decision-mak-
ing process, too.
But mostly its because you
have to get one guy ready to
play. You cant get three guys
ready to play. Its really hard to
get two ready to play.
Penn State certainly learned
that last season.
The Lions didnt officially
name a starting quarterback un-
til mid-November. In 2010, the
decision wasnt made until Au-
gust, just days before the season
opener.
McGloin has essentially split
the job with Bolden for most of
the past two years.
Rumblings that Bolden
would again seek a transfer
have died down nowthat the ju-
nior has returned to campus for
classes and offseason workouts.
Each guy knows where they
stand, OBrien said, referring
to how Bolden and Jones took
the news. I feel good about
those two guys. They have de-
cent command of the offense,
theyre competitive and they
both have interesting qualities.
Well see how they do in train-
ing camp.
McGloin has started 10
games in the past two seasons,
but this will be his first time
starting the opener when the
Lions host Ohio on Sept. 1.
Unfortunately I only have
one year in the system and one
year under Coach OBrien and
(new quarterbacks coach Char-
lie Fisher), McGloin said. But
hopefully we make it special.
Drake dismissed
Injuries and off-field issues
have impeded Curtis Drakes ca-
reer for the past two years. Now
his grades have cost him his
spot on Penn States roster.
OBrien confirmed Friday
that the junior is no longer on
the team, declining to go into
specifics.
Drake told the Philadelphia
Inquirer that he was dismissed
for academic reasons. The re-
ceiver-turned-cornerback said
he will talk to doctors about his
oft-injured left leg before decid-
ing whether to transfer to an
FBS or an FCS program for the
fall.
Before his spring grades
came out, Drake had emerged
as a favorite to start at corner-
back for the Lions.
Junior tailback Curtis Dukes,
meanwhile, is on track to rejoin
his teammates for preseason
camp.
OBrien held Dukes out of
spring ball to focus on his
grades. Barring any academic
setbacks in the summer, Dukes
would be a top backup to Silas
Redd in the fall.

NEWARK, N.J. In the next
month or so, New Jersey Devils
captain Zach Parise is going to
strike it rich somewhere.
The 27-year-old Parise, who
can became a free agent next
month unless he re-signs with
New Jersey, is one of those play-
ers that every team wants. He
scores goals, works hard, is a
good skater and is relentless on
the ice. Nothing is more impor-
tant to him than his team and
winning.
Want Proof?
Take Game 1 of the Stanley
Cup finals against the Los An-
geles Kings Wednesday night.
Parise showed talent and some-
thing surprising, a level of sneak-
iness fewexpectedfromanangel-
ic-looking, clean-shaven boy
scout skatingalongside a grungy-
looking, unkempt group of play-
ers in bushy beards.
With the game tied 1-1 early in
the third period, Parise deftly re-
ached out with his gloved hand
while prone in the crease and
shuffleboarded a loose puck into
the net, setting off a celebration
at the Prudential Center in New
Jersey.
Horns blared. Fans stood up
and screamed. There was merri-
ment all around.
Unfortunately for the Devils
andtheir fans, referee DanOHal-
loran quickly waved off the goal,
and replay in Toronto upheld his
ruling. The Kings would go on to
win 2-1 in overtime on a goal by
Anze Kopitar.
Parise had a sheepish grin on
his face when asked what pos-
sessed himto basically throwthe
puck into the net behind Kings
goaltender Jonathan Quick.
I saw the puck was going be-
hind the net and I wanted to keep
it alive, Parise said Friday after
the Devils worked out for about
an hour in preparation for Game
2 on Saturday night.
As soon as Parise finished the
sentence, he started laughing,
knowing no one was going to buy
the story.
I couldnt get my stick, he
added, and I knew none of our
guys could put it in at that point,
soooo ...
When somebody suggested he
was hopingtoget awaywithit, he
laughed again.
Maybe the video review
wasnt working, said Parise,
who rebounded from a major
kneeinjurylast seasontoscore31
goals, the fifth straight year he
has scored at least 30 while play-
ing a full season. I dont know. I
was just trying to keep it alive. I
didnt have anything, soI was just
trying to sneak it in.
Sometimes thats what it takes
to win the Stanley Cup, although
this time it didnt work.
It was a good try though, and
its that kind of an intangible that
will make Parise so attractive on
the open market.

BMX
Eight picked for U.S. trials
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.
Reigning Olympic silver medalist Mike
Day and bronze medalist Donny Rob-
inson are among eight BMX riders who
will compete for the automatic berth to
the U.S. team headed to the London
Games.
USA Cycling announced the field for
its BMX trials this week. The other
riders are Connor Fields, Nic Long,
Barry Nobles, Corben Sharrah, Joey
Bradford and Josh Meyers.
The trials are June 16 at the U.S.
Olympic Training Center in Chula
Vista, Calif.
The winner will join David Herman
and a discretionary choice to make up
the three-man team. Herman secured
an automatic nomination as the overall
leader of the USA Cycling power rank-
ings. Arielle Martin has qualified on
the womens side by leading the power
rankings. Shell be joined by a dis-
cretionary pick on the two-woman
team.
EQUESTRIAN
CAS to hear Saudi appeals
LAUSANNE, Switzerland The
Court of Arbitration for Sport will hear
the appeals of two members of Saudi
Arabias Olympic equestrian team, who
have been banned for eight months and
excluded from the London Games
because of horse doping.
The Switzerland-based court says
Khaled Abdulaziz Al Eid and Abdullah
Waleed Sharbatly can have their appeal
heard in London on Thursday. CAS
says a judge will rule on their appeal by
June 15.
The International Equestrian Feder-
ation banned both riders for eight
months after their horses tested posi-
tive for controlled anti-inflammatory
medications at competitions in the
Middle East.
The bans expire in October. Eques-
trian events at the London Olympics
begin July 28.
Al Eid is the 2000 Sydney Olympics
bronze medalist. Sharbatly won silver
at the 2010 World Equestrian Games.
CEREMONIES
Royal purple for podium
LONDON Forget gold, silver and
bronze. The dominant color at the
Olympic podium ceremonies is going
to be purple.
Olympic authorities revealed the
elements Friday of the 805 ceremonies
that will take place in more than 30
venues of the London Olympics and
released photographs of the costumes
that will be worn by the presenters.
The flower and medal bearers will be
male, a first in Olympic history.
Students from the Royal College of
Art designed the attire. They say they
were inspired by Greek mythology and
British heritage.
TRIATHLON
Champ tweets of failed bid
SYDNEY Two-time World Iron-
man champion Chris McCormacks
attempt for an Australia Olympic team
berth appears to have failed.
McCormack gave up the longer Iron-
man discipline 18 months ago to con-
centrate on the Olympic distances of a
1.5-kilometer swim, 40K cycle and 10K
run in an effort to qualify for London.
But the 39-year-old McCormack
tweeted on Friday: Back to my day
job! I need an Hawaiian holiday again
soon :) No London for me!
Members of Australias Olympic
team are expected to be officially
named next week.
Beijing gold medalist Emma Snow-
sill is facing a tough battle to win one
of three womens spots for London.
Emma Moffatt, the 2008 bronze med-
alist, has already been guaranteed a
London berth by Triathlon Australia.

Flame goes for a ride
An Olympic torchbearer carries the
Olympic Flame on the Mersey Ferry
during the Torch Relay leg between
Birkenhead and Liverpool, England, on
Friday. The Liverpool skyline can be
seen in the background.
While Olympian Stacy Sykora be-
lieves that learning to compensate for
the lingering effects of a brain injury
has helped make her a more complete
volleyball player, shes also honest with
herself: Shes still not where she once
was.
Sykora was traveling to a match with
her Brazilian pro team when their bus
overturned just outside of Sao Paulo on
a rainy April evening last year. She suf-
fered bleeding and swelling on the left
side of her brain that prompted doctors
to put her in a medically induced coma.
Her recovery in the year since then
has been an ongoing process. The in-
jury affected Sykoras vision and at
times she has trouble tracking the ball
something obviously essential for
her sport.
But she has rejoined the U.S. wom-
ens national team, which has already
secured a spot in the London Games.
Whether Sykora plays in a fourth Olym-
pics, however, is still unclear: The 12
team members making the trip will not
be selected until early July.
Sykora, 34, doesnt speculate what
her Olympic future might bring. In-
stead, the 5-foot-10 libero is working
with what she has. And that means do-
ing things differently than she has in
the past.
Im just not there yet. Im not play-
ing like Stacy Sykora can play, she
said. Im doing all the things I can do
for the team. Like instead of just think-
ing about myself and what Im going
through, what I can and cant do, Im
thinking more about the team, and
what I can do for the team.
Sykora was a three-sport athlete at
Texas A&M, competing in volleyball,
track and basketball. She joined the na-
tional team in 1999 and played for the
U.S. at the 2000, 2004 and 2008 Olym-
pics, helping the American women win
the silver medal at the Beijing Games.
But her pro career as an elite volley-
ball player took a turn while she was
playing for Volei Futuro in Brazil. She
lost consciousness briefly after the acci-
dent, but otherwise did not appear in-
jured except for a small cut on her head.
She was taken by ambulance to a Bra-
zilian hospital only as a precaution, but
by the time she got there her condition
had become grave.
Sykoras mother and sister flew to
Brazil to be with her, and news of her
plight spread quickly in the tight-knit
international volleyball community.
Fans on Twitter and Facebook added
Forca Stacy in their posts about her,
using the Portuguese word for
strength.
Determined to return to her Olympic
form, when Sykora was well enough to
travel she returned to Southern Califor-
nia, where the U.S. womens team is
based. She worked out with physical
therapists and trainers. She continues
the regimen today, training six days a
week.
They say with a brain injury, you
have to wait for the brain. Its a unique
thing, you have no control of it and ev-
ery individual is different, she said.
So were waiting for my brain to be like
You can see perfectly! When my brain
decides, thats when Ill see perfectly.

EUGENE, Ore. Jason
Richardson is a thrill
seeker, vowing to one day
swim with sharks, cliff
dive and bungee jump.
The world champion
110-meter hurdler is a
romantic as well, hoping
to slip and fall in love and
not get back up, learn to
speak fluent Italian and
read at least 50 of the
classics.
Also on the 26-year-olds
lengthy bucket list: write his own
novel, become a millionaire by 35
and stand on an Olympic podium,
maybe even this summer.
And he wont have to wait for the
London Games to see just how real-
istic this last item just may be.
Richardson will compete today in
the Prefontaine Classic, where a
star-studded field awaits, including
2004 Olympic gold medalist Liu
Xiang of China and American record
holder David Oliver.
Cuban world-record holder and
reigning Olympic champion Dayron
Robles was scheduled to compete,
but ran into visa issues and wont be
in the field.
Up until last summer, Richardson
was the hurdler that no one really
knew. For that matter, he wasnt
even the most well-known Jason
Richardson, an honor easily belong-
ing to the Orlando Magic shooting
guard.
But this version of Jason Richard-
son is carving out his own identity
after becoming a surprise world
champion last August in South Ko-
rea.
Originally, he captured the silver,
but was bumped up to gold when
Robles was disqualified for smacking
hands twice with Liu over the final
few hurdles.
With that, Richardson was able to
check an item off his wide-ranging
bucket list.
So far, hes made more than 180
entries into a journal he stores on his
computer. Constantly evolving and
highly entertaining, the list repre-
sents a world of possibilities.
His yearnings range from artistic
pursuits (learning to paint) to more
comical endeavors (playing polo
decked out from head to toe in
Ralph Lauren Polo garb). Some
adventures involve speed (driving on
the autobahn), while others center
around becoming more cultured
(watching an opera).
There are also ambitious entries
(climbing a mountain) and, of
course, the very plausible making
the U.S. Olympic team for London.
Now that may be the most attain-
able one on his long list, which he
concocted to ensure he enjoys each
step of his journey.
Ive always said that Id
rather lose my wallet
than my perspective,
said Richardson, who
runs with his long, braid-
ed hair tied back in a
ponytail. The bucket list
is a really, really arrogant
list, to be honest, of
things that say, I want to
be (awesome) and here
are the reasons why.
He acknowledges he
borrowed the concept
from the characters
played by Morgan Free-
man and Jack Nicholson in the 2007
movie The Bucket List.
Only, they waited until late in life
to dig into their desires.
Do I really have to wait until Im
dying to do a lot of things that I
want to do now? Richardson said.
Richardson is off to a flying start
on his list, already reading George
Orwells 1984, zip-lining through a
forest in Tennessee and attending
Fashion Week in New York. Hes also
started another undertaking on his
list: viewing the American Film
Institutes top 100 movies. He recent-
ly rented Citizen Kane, and can
understand why its No. 1.
On the track, hes attempting to
reach that top spot, too.
And yes, its an actual entry.
A far from easy one, though.
Richardson happens to be compet-
ing in what could be considered the
golden age of hurdles. Robles (12.87
seconds) and Liu (12.88) have the
fastest times in history, while Oliver
holds the American record (12.89)
and Aries Merritt is coming off an
indoor season in which he captured
the 60-meter world title.
Richardson wants to accomplish plenty

INDIANAPOLIS With the
LondonOlympics nolonger apossi-
bility, Chellsie Memmel is moving
on to a new chapter in her life.
What that will involve, she
doesnt know for sure.
This has been a hard time for
me. Gymnastics is something I
have done my whole life, andnowit
is over, the 2005 world champion
said. Last November, I took and
passed the judges
course, and its a
route I can take, if
I like it. It might
be weird to be on
that side, but it is
a way to be in-
volved in the
sport. Life goes
on and I am start-
ing a new chapter.
Memmel competed on balance
beam at last weekends U.S. Classic
in hopes of earning a spot at the na-
tional championships, which begin
Thursday in St. Louis. But she fell
twice, and a selection committee
decided her score of 11.95 was too
lowtoadvance. Shehadneededa14
or better, national teamcoordinator
Martha Karolyi said.
While Memmel said she under-
stoodthe decision, she alsosaidshe
was disappointed and sad that her
latest comeback ended this way.
Memmel is one of the countrys
most-popular gymnasts, and out-
raged fans have circulated petitions
urging USA Gymnastics to allow
her one last chance to compete.
The support the fans have given
me has beenunreal, Memmel said.
It is unbelievable how many peo-
ple have reached out to me.
Memmel is one of the countrys
most accomplished gymnasts, with
three gold medals from the world
championships. In addition to her
2005 all-around title, she was part
of the 2003 squad that won the
countrys first team title at worlds
and also tied for gold on uneven
bars that year.
She has three more silver medals
from worlds, and was part of the
U.S. teamthat won the silver medal
at the Beijing Olympics.
She likely could have achieved
even more if not for a series of in-
opportune injuries. She missed the
Athens Olympics because of a foot
injury. She blewout her shoulder at
the 2006 worldchampionships, and
was sidelined for most of the next
1
1
2 years. In Beijing, she was limited
to uneven bars in both qualifying
and team finals because of what
turned out to be a broken ankle.
She re-injured her shoulder at
last years U.S. championships, and
had surgery in November and again
in February.
Memmels
long run
has come
to an end
Injuries have finally caught up
with U.S. gymnastics star, who
failed to make London squad.

DOVER, Del. Todd Bodine
thinks he would have beaten Ke-
vin Harvick to the finish line.
He was glad he didnt have to
find out.
Bodine took advantage of be-
ing in the lead when the rain
came, winning the shortened
Trucks Series race at Dover In-
ternational Speedway on Friday.
He celebrated in a makeshift
Victory Lane after the race was
called with 147 of 200 laps com-
pleted on the 1-mile track.
Harvick had the dominant
truck and led most of the race un-
til the first rain delay. Bodine
took the lead shortly after racing
resumed and posted his third
straight top-five finish.
Parker Kligerman was second
and Harvick was third.
Rain prevented what might
have been a fun showdown down
the stretch between two of the
best drivers in the circuit.
From what I saw in the mir-
ror, I dont know if he could have
done it, Bodine said. Parker
and myself both would have had
to make mistakes and get out of
the groove. It would have been
interesting to see.
Kligerman was thankful for
the rain because a damaged front
end meant his truck might not
have lasted much longer.
We were really bottoming the
truck out and the splitter was
taking a beating, he said.
Thats why we couldnt get by
Todd. Id get a good restart and I
just couldnt hold it up on the
high side of the track without
feeling like I was going to stuff it
into the wall.
Bodine survived a spin be-
cause of a tire issue midway
through the race that briefly
threatened his first win since
2010.
He rallied and was all smiles
once the skies opened up.
Heck yeah, Im going to claim
it, he said. You dont like to win
them this way, but we lost them
this way, so Ill take one.
Nelson Piquet Jr. and Cale
Gale rounded out the top five.
Points leader Justin Lofton, who
led 22 laps, was 10th.
Harvick was aiming for his
first win at Dover in any series
when rain forced a red flag with
80 laps left in the race.
He refused to consider himself
the winner as he sat in his truck
waiting to return to racing.
I dont think the track ever
got wet, Harvick said. It was
dry the whole first time.
Out they went and, soon after,
Harvick lost the lead and the
race.
Its just one of those deals, he
said.
The race was affected by more
than rain, with nine cautions
called that made for a very spotty
and slow day of racing.
Waiting out the rain was easy
for Bodine. He waited19 years to
win again at Dover. Bodine won
races in the Nationwide Series in
1991 and twice in 1993. He had
never finished better than third
in a Trucks race at the Monster
Mile.

DOVER, Del. Dale Earn-
hardt Jr. is hoping to pick up
the next memorable victory for
Hendrick Motorsports.
First, Jimmie Johnson raced
to owner Rick Hendricks
200th win. Then Kasey Kahne
earned his first victory with
Hendrick in the Coca-Cola 600.
Next? Well, Earnhardt brings
his bewildering 141-race win-
less drought into Sundays
Sprint Cup stop at Dover In-
ternational Speedway.
While his teammates take
turns playing hot potato with
the checkered flag, Earnhardt
is stuck wondering when his
time will come.
Im not competitive on the
race track with my teammates
at all, he said, but when you
see those guys win, you do
wish it was you going to Victo-
ry Lane.
He can stop the streak with
his first win on Dovers 1-mile
track since 2001. Much like the
overall arc of his career, his
more recent runs on the con-
crete have been cruel. He did
post a third-place finish in the
May race last season, but other-
wise failed to finish better than
20th in four of the last five
races at Dover.
Earnhardt takes some solace
in the fact hes been consistent-
ly strong this season and is
parked in fourth place in the
points standings. He has two
runner-up finishes in the No. 88
and nine top 10s in 12 races
after he had 12 top 10s all of
last season.
The cable channel Speed
posted, Dale Jr. inching closer
to first win this season, during
Fridays Cup practice.
Hes getting close.
But no one connected with
the sport has to tell Earnhardt
close is not enough. He has to
win.
Earnhardt has dissected the
streak over the last four years
and knows everything from
bad luck to strategy to ability
have played a role in keeping
his career win total stuck on 18
since 2008. Earnhardt, who
had the third-best speed at
155.966 mph in Fridays final
practice, boasts the confidence
of a champion this season be-
cause of the strong finishes,
great cars, and a healthy rela-
tionship with crew chief Steve
Letarte.
Plus, hes the top Hendrick
driver in the standings. Earn-
hardt is 18 points behind leader
Greg Biffle, Johnson is fifth,
Kahne 15th and Jeff Gordon
22nd not quite the Hendrick
dominance thats often expect-
ed from a sterling organization
with 201 wins in their rearview
mirror.
Hendrick would love all four
of his cars in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship.
I felt like all four cars have
been really strong from the
start of the year, and once Jim-
mie broke through at Darling-
ton and won that race, weve
been able to go on a little roll,
Kahne said. So I think our cars
are great. The teams are work-
ing really well together and Ive
enjoyed being part of that.
Earnhardt sees this season as
the one where he can make a
serious run at winning his first
championship. Earnhardts ca-
reer-best finish in the Sprint
Cup standings was third in
2003. Under the Chase format,
he finished fifth in 2004 and
2006, and made the field in
2008 his first season with
Hendrick and last year
when he finished seventh.

DETROIT IndyCar CEO
Randy Bernard insisted he
doesnt regret personally fuel-
ing speculation on his Twitter
account that a team owner is
trying to get him fired.
I have to feel like Imin con-

Friday night in an interview
with The Associated Press.

dy, I will do whatever it takes.

noon and NASCARs Coca-Co-
la 600 barely had a larger audi-
ence, drawing a 4.4 in prime
time later that night.
Two days later, Bernard
seemed to shift the focus away
from encouraging returns and
an entertaining race that Dario
Franchitti won after an Indy
500-record 35 lead changes.
(hash)INDYCAR (at)indy-
car it is true that an owner is
calling others trying to get me
fired, Bernard posted on his
Twitter account on Tuesday. I
have had several owners con-

Roger Penske, team owner
for the drivers who won the
first four races of the season, la-
mented with a sigh that Indy-
Cars leader joineda long list of
executives who have chosen to
become a story on a series that
is constantly competing for re-
spect.
This is a record that Ive lis-

GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP,
N.J. Stacy Lewis and Mika
Miyazato are tied for the lead
after the opening round of the
ShopRite LPGA Classic.
Lewis and Miyazato each
shot a 6-under 65 on Friday at
the Bay Course at the Stock-
ton Seaview Hotel and Golf
Club.
Paula Creamer and Mariajo
Uribe are tied for third at 4
under. Maude-Aimee Leblanc
is at 3 under, while seven
players are another shot back,
including Lexi Thompson and
Christina Kim.
Yani Tseng shot an even-
par 71 while defending cham-
pion Brittany Lincicome fin-
ished with a 72.
The morning half of the
field had the better of the
weather, as skies darkened
and the winds picked up
around midday.
Uribe was the only one of
the leaders with an afternoon
tee time.
Miyazato, who is seeking
her first LPGA title, played in
the first group of the morning
and got off to a fast start. She
birdied Nos. 3 and 5 before
draining a 20-foot eagle putt
at the short par-5 ninth to
make the turn at 4 under.
She birdied two par 3s on
the back, Nos. 11 and 17.
Lewis, who won her second
LPGA title in Mobile in April,
was in the middle of her
round when the conditions
started to change. Playing the
back nine first, she made the
turn in 2 under before start-
ing her second nine with a
birdie, a double bogey and an
eagle.
She reached the green at
the par-5 ninth in two, but
missed a seven-foot eagle putt
that would have given her the
outright lead.
Creamer, who tied for sec-
ond in this tournament as an
amateur in 2004, reached No.
18 in two and drained her ea-
gle putt.
NOTES: A total of 23 play-
ers broke par. ... This tourna-
ment was first contested in
1986. It disappeared from the
schedule after 2006 before re-
turning last year. ... Morgan
Pressel, back in action after
her controversial loss to Mu-
noz in the semifinals of the
Sybase Match Play Cham-
pionship, shot a 74.

DUBLIN, Ohio That other
Rory Rory Sabbatini
played his best golf in the worst
weather Friday at the Memorial
and made a surprising appear-
ance atop the leaderboard.
Right behind him was a Tiger
Woods that looked all too famil-
iar.
Sabbatini played bogey-free
over his final 12 holes, and
despite missing a 5-foot birdie
putt on the 18th hole, put to-
gether a 3-under 69 in the cool,
blustery conditions at Muirfield
Village to take a one-shot lead
going into the weekend.
Woods looked strong for the
second straight day, though he
also had another double bogey
that slowed his progress. What
pleased him was controlling his
ball in the wind for plenty of
birdie chances that led to a 69.
I hit the ball well all day,
and it was a day that I needed
to, Woods said. The wind was
blowing out there, swirling in
those trees, and it was just a
tough day.
It was plenty tough for Rory
McIlroy.
The U.S. Open champion,
who returned to No. 1 in the
world only four weeks ago,
missed the cut in his third
straight tournament. McIlroy
was in good shape until a shot
just outside a creek hit the bank
and went backward into the
water, leading to the first of two
double bogeys on the back nine.
He shot 79 and missed the cut
by three shots.
Im definitely hitting the ball
better than I did last week, so I
can see an improvement there,
he said. But Ive still got a long
way to go.
It was tough for everyone on
a day that began with a two-
hour rain delay in the morning.
That softened the course, but
the wind featured gusts strong
enough that it was difficult to
attack the pins. It showed in
the scores.
Sabbatini was at 6-under 138,
the highest score to lead the
Memorial in 22 years.
We basically just kept the
ball in play all day, and thats
the challenge out there, Sabba-
tini said. And we did that very
well, and Im very, very excited,
very content with the way that
things went.
Woods has 72 wins on the
PGA Tour, one away from tying
Jack Nicklaus for second on the
career list. What better place to
catch him than on the course
Jack built, though Woods
wasnt ready to entertain such
thoughts only halfway through
the tournament.
And while he commands
attention at Muirfield Village
a four-time champion who has
shot par or better in 22 of his
last 23 rounds on this course
there were plenty of possibil-
ities going into the weekend.
Spencer Levin (72) and Scott
Stallings (73) played in the
morning and joined Woods at
5-under 139.
Jim Furyk, another former
champion, matched the best
score Friday with a 68 and was
in the group only two shots
behind. There were 21 players
within four shots of the lead, a
list that includes Quail Hollow
winner Rickie Fowler, Dustin
Johnson, Henrik Stenson, Lucas
Glover and Adam Scott, who
was contending for the lead
until closing with three straight
bogeys for a 72.
The surprise was Sabbatini.
He has missed the cut eight
times this year, and his only top
10 came at the season opener in
Kapalua, when he was 10 shots
behind. The spunky South
African has been toiling with
his swing coach, Rick Smith,
and for all the work they have
done with his swing, even more
crucial was keeping his pa-
tience.
Champions Tour
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa
Mike Goodes shot a 7-under
64 to take a two-shot lead after
the first round of the Principal
Charity Classic on Friday.
Goodes opened the Cham-
pions Tour event with four
straight birdies and closed with
birdies on the 17th and 18th
holes. Goodes shot a 30 on the
front nine and tied his lowest
overall round on the Cham-
pions Tour.
Jay Haas, who won in Iowa in
2007 and 2008, leads a group at
5-under 66 that includes South
African David Frost and former
Masters champion Larry Mize.
Mark Brooks heads a group
three strokes behind Goodes.
Sixty-eight-year-old Graham
Marsh scored the tournaments
first hole-in-one since 2006
when he aced the 203-yard
second hole. Marsh finished
with a 73.

STATE COLLEGE Holy
Redeemers run in the PIAA
Class 2A Boys volleyball Cham-
pionships ended on Friday at
Penn States Multi-sport facility.
The Royals went 0-3 on the
day losing to Cochranton (2-1),
Dover (3-0) and Ambridge
(3-0).
The day started on a good
note for Redeemer Friday morn-
ing as it took the first game
against the District 10 champion
Cochranton team, winning 26-
24. But the Royals dropped the
last two games 25-20, 25-17 to
fall to 0-1 in Pool B.
In the afternoon session, Re-
deemer dropped a decision to
District 3 runner-up Dover los-
ing all three games by scores of
25-17, 25-19, 25-12.
The final match of the day for
the Royals came against District
7 champion Ambridge and a
loss by game scores of 25-18,
25-13, 25-20.
Ambridge and Dover each ad-
vanced to todays semifinals,
which begin at 9 a.m. with the
hopes of advancing to the finals
slated for 1 p.m. Dover finished
3-0 in the pool, while Ambridge
was 2-1 only losing to Dover.
In Pool A, York Suburban and
Bethlehem Catholic advanced
to the semifinals. York went un-
beaten in the pool, while Be-
thlehem Catholic was 2-1.
The semifinals will consist of
York Suburban playing Am-

while Bethlehem Catholic is
second, Ambridge is third and
Dover is fifth.

The Royals were eliminated
during pool play, dropping
three matches on Friday.
The Times Leader staff
NORFOLK, Va. In the first
meeting of the season between
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Nor-
folk, two of the four games were
postponed.
It seems like the weather fol-
lowed the teams from Batavia,
N.Y., to Virginia.
The teams were slatedtoplaya
doubleheader Friday night at
Harbor Park. Only the first game
was played with the second post-
poned due to heavy rains.
The Tides won Fridays game
4-3 on a walk-off single in the bot-
tom of the seventh by Xavier Av-
ery.
The teams are also scheduled
to play a doubleheader on Sun-
day as well to makeup the games
lost in April.
Norfolk won the game, but it
wasnt an easy victory.
The Yankees took a 1-0 lead in
the top of the first when Corban
Joseph, who was called up from
Trenton before the game, slug-
ged his first home run of the sea-
soninhis first at-bat withthe Yan-
kees. Joseph began the season on
Scranton/Wilkes-Barres D.L.,
but was sent to Trenton after be-
ing activated.
Norfolk came right back to tie
the game at 1-1 in the bottom of
the first on Jamie Hoffmans solo
shot. But the Yankees answered
that run with a solo run in the top
of the second when Ramiro Pena
drove in Ronier Mustelier on a
single for a 2-1 Yankees lead.
The Tides took a 3-2 lead after
single runs in the third and
fourth, going ahead on a solo
home run by Jai Miller in the
fourth.
Mustelier singled home Kevin
Russo in the fifth to even the
score at 3-3.

Norfolk rallies to defeat Yankees
The Times Leader staff
BOSTON Kevin Garnett
had 24 points and 11 rebounds
and Rajon Rondo scored 21
points with 10 assists to lead
the Boston Celtics to a 101-91
victory over the Heat in Game 3
of the Eastern Conference finals
on Friday night, cutting Miamis
lead in the series to 2-1.
Game 4 is Sunday night in
Boston.
Paul Pierce scored 23 points
for Boston.
LeBron James scored 34
points, but the NBA MVP and
the rest of the Heat went cold
during a 7-minute stretch at the
end of the first quarter and the
beginning of the second, when
Boston outscored them 15-0 to
turn a six-point deficit into a
nine-point lead.
James scored
16 points in the
first quarter but
had just four
points with one
rebound and
one assist in
the fourth,
when Miami cut a 24-point def-
icit to eight. Mike Miller hit
consecutive 3-pointers during
an 11-0 run that cut the deficit
to 95-87.
Miami still trailed by eight
points, with the ball, when
Dwyane Wade missed and Ray
Allen grabbed the rebound,
sending Rondo on a fast break
that made it a 99-89 with 99
seconds to play. James threw
the ball away underneath, then
missed a 3-point attempt the
next time down one of only
four shots he took in the fourth
quarter.
Pierce found Garnett for a
long jumper at the other end,
and the teams began emptying
their benches.
Coming off his 44-point effort
in the Game 2 loss in Miami, in
which he played every second
of regulation and overtime,
Rondo was 9 for 16 from the
field and grabbed six rebounds.
Marquis Daniels led the Boston
bench with nine points and five
rebounds in 18 minutes.
Wade scored 18 points and
Mario Chalmers had 14 points
and six assists for Miami. Shane
Battier was scoreless, missing
all six shots, and Ronny Turiaf
had three points while tangling
with Garnett under the basket
for much of the game.

OKLAHOMA CITY As
Manu Ginobili was finishing up
his answer to a reporters ques-
tion, Tony Parker walked up be-
hind him, put both hands on his
shoulders and provided his team-
mate an escape.
Great job, Manu, Parker said,
having heard hardly a word of Gi-
nobilis five-minute, question-
and-answer session.
After losing for the first time
since mid-April, it was time for
the San Antonio Spurs to face an
entirely different set of questions
Friday with their Western Con-
ference finals lead over Oklaho-
ma City cut to 2-1.
No longer was the talk about
whether the Spurs riding a 20-
game winning streak less than 24
hours earlier were invincible.
It was about how San Antonio
could regroup following a 102-82
blowout loss in time to face
Game 4 in Oklahoma City on Sat-
urday night.
Usually its easier to refocus
after a loss than after a win. Play-
ers usually have a tendency after
winning a few games to relax or
feel complacent. In the past,
weve reacted really well to wins.
Well see now how we do against
losses, said Ginobili, held to
eight points inGame 3after total-
ing 46 through the first two
games. Even if we react well, its
a tough place to win and they are
a great team.
The Thunder limited the out-
put of San Antonios best back-
court players by deploying 6-
foot-7 Thabo Sefolosha to use his
five-inch height advantage and
wingspan to corral Parker, and by
changing up their defense on the
Spurs pick-and-roll attack.
Oklahoma City players who
had been guarding the ball fre-
quently switched to defend the
screener, and vice versa. After
scoring a postseason-best 120
points in Game 2 and averaging
109.4 during the winning streak,
SanAntoniowas heldtoa season-
low 82 points in Game 3.
Theyre doing a lot of switch-
ing. Theyre doing a lot of those,
so theyre ending up with a lot of
different guys on a lot of different
guys, Spurs star Tim Duncan
said. Were going to have to take
advantage of that. Weve got to
use the mismatches that we get
from that, and Tony and Manu
will be expecting those kind of
switches and understand that
they have to attack it a different
way.
Their length and their size
andtheir athleticismis a huge ad-
vantage for them, so were going
to have to move their bodies and
move the ball anduse our passing
to kind of neutralize that a little
bit.
Oklahoma City coach Scott
Brooks refused to pinpoint any of
his adjustments as the difference-
maker inwhat couldbeamomen-
tum-changing win. He put more
emphasis on his players giving
maximum effort and executing
all of the defensive plans.
The changes bore some simi-
larities to the previous round,
when he used Sefolosha, James
Harden and even the nearly 7-
foot Kevin Durant to mix up his
defense on Kobe Bryant.
Sefolosha made a big splash
early in Game 3, recording four
steals in the first 3 minutes, and
finished with 19 points and six
steals both the best of his ca-
reer.
Its always good to have every-
body taking cracks at the good
players, Brooks said. You cant
have one guy on a great player to
give him the same coverage.
Theyre going to tear that apart.
... Ginobili and Parker are the
best penetrating decision-makers
inthe league andthey doit where
youdont think that they have op-
portunities to score or to pass,
andtheymakethosepasses every
time.

Ireland votes with EU
Irelands voters have agreed to ratify
the European Unions deficit-fighting
treaty with a resounding 60.3 percent
yes, results Friday showed, but gov-
ernment leaders and pro-treaty cam-
paigners alike expressed relief rather
than joy because of the stark economic
challenges ahead.
The treatys approval, after weeks of
nervousness in Dublin and Brussels,
relieves some pressure on EU financial
chiefs as they battle to contain the
eurozones debt crisis. But critics said
the tougher deficit rules would do
nothing to stimulate desperately need-
ed growth in bailed-out Ireland, Portu-
gal and Greece.
Groupon shares sag 9%
Groupons stock tumbled Friday as
insiders sold their shares after a post-
IPO prohibition was lifted.
Employees and other insiders are
required to wait before selling their
stock following a companys initial
public offering. Groupons lock-up
period expired on Friday. The company
went public on Nov. 4.
Shares of Groupon Inc. fell 95 cents,
or 8.9 percent, to close at $9.69 Friday.
Canada GM plant closing
The Canadian Auto Workers union
said Friday that General Motors of
Canada plans to close its consolidated
plant in Oshawa, Ontario, by June
2013, leaving what could be as many as
2,000 workers out of a job.
The consolidated plant, which pro-
duces the Chevrolet Impala and the
Equinox, was originally scheduled to
close in 2008, but market demand for
the vehicles enabled it to remain in
business.
Chris Buckley, a local union presi-
dent, said along with the possible di-
rect loss of up to 2,000 jobs with the
plant closure, an additional 18,000
spinoff jobs will also be lost.

Many of the biggest carmakers report-
ed double-digit sales gains last month
compared with a year earlier. Americans
continuedto replace their aging vehicles
even though economic news was mostly
downbeat.
Toyota, asexpected, ledsalesincreases
withan87percentrisefromayearearlier.
InMayoff 2011, thecompanyranshort of
cars andtrucks after anearthquake inJa-
pan crippled its factories. But its show-
rooms were stockedwithvehicles again.
Chrysler reported a 30 percent in-
crease, followedbyVWat 28percent and
Nissan at 21 percent. Ford sales rose 13
percent andGMwas up11percent.
Theresultsshowthat pent-updemand
isoverpoweringanyfearsabouttheecon-
omy, analystssay. UnemploymentinMay
rose for the first time in 11 months, in-
creasingslightlyto8.2percent. Thestock
market hadits worst monthintwoyears,
andconsumer confidence was shaky.
But people are buying because they
havetoreplaceagingcarsandtrucksthat
they kept through the Great Recession.
Theaverageageof avehicleonU.S. roads
isnowpushing11years, andtheyaresim-
ply wearingout.
You have so many old vehicles on the
road,saidTomLibby, leadanalystforthe
Polk automotive research firm. He sees
auto sales continuing to grow through
the next twoor three years.
Pickuptrucksales alsoappear tobere-
bounding. GM, Ford and Chrysler all re-
portedthat trucksales rosemorethan20

Fords F-Series pickups, the top-selling
vehicle in the U.S., sawsales rise 29 per-
cent over last May. Fordsays demandfor
trucks has followed an increase in new
home construction since the start of this
year.
Mays sales pace is so strong that fore-
casting firm LMC Automotive raised its
2012forecast to14.5million, upfrom14.3
million.
U.S. automakers can now break even
whensales areinthe10million-rangebe-

FIRST KEYSTONE BANK MOVING IN KINGSTON
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
F
irst Keystone Community Bank will move its Kingston office this summer to this building, currently
under construction at Hoyt Street and Wyoming Avenue. The bank, at the time named First National
Bank of Berwick, opened the present Kingston office in rented space at 179 Wyoming Ave. in August
2002. Michelle Kozak, marketing administrator, said the new branch will offer better convenience for our
customers, and we will own the building. Headquartered in Berwick, First Keystone Community Bank has
16 offices in four counties. Other Luzerne County offices are in Hanover Township, Plymouth and Moun-
tain Top. The bank will open a new office in Shickshinny this fall, Kozak said.
The stock market suffered its
worst day of the year Friday after
a surprisingly weak report about
hiring and employment cast a
pall of gloomover the U.S. econo-
my.
Traders stampeded into the
safety of bonds, pushing the
yield on the benchmark 10-year
Treasury note to a record low.
Fearful investors bought gold,
causing the price to spike $50 an
ounce, and concern about a glob-
al economic slowdown drove the
price of oil to its lowest since Oc-
tober.
The big worry now is that this
economic slowdown is widening
and accelerating, said Sam Sto-
vall, chief equity strategist at
S&P Capital IQ, a market re-
search firm.
The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age suffered its steepest one-day
drop since November.
The Standard & Poors 500 in-
dex and Nasdaq composite index
both fell more than 3 percent.
The Nasdaq has dropped more
than 10 percent since its peak
what traders call a market correc-
tion. The S&P 500 is just a point
above correction territory.
Earlier data showed weak eco-
nomic conditions in Europe and
Asia, too. There were signs that
growth in China, which helped
sustain the global economy
through the recession, is slowing
significantly. Chinas manufac-
turing weakened in May, accord-
ing to surveys released Friday.
Traders sold all types of risky
investments and rushed to the
safety of U.S. government bonds
and gold.
Several analysts raised the pos-
sibility that the weakening econ-
omy will prompt more action by
governments and central banks
seeking to juice global economic
activity. Anticipation of some
policy response prevented even
deeper losses, Stovall said.
Anticipation of bond-buying by
the Fed might put in a little bit
of a floor to the market, but the
overall economic picture is still
bad, said Bob Gelfond, CEO of
MQS Asset Management, a New
York hedge fund.
Homebuilder stocks fell the
most, despite a report that con-
struction spending rose for a sec-
ond month in April. PulteGroup
fell 11.8 percent, D.R. Horton 8.4
percent and Lennar 8.3 percent.

DETROITGeneral Motors Co. will
change the way it makes pension pay-
mentstowhite-collarretirees, shoringup
its finances by offeringbuyouts andshift-
ingliabilities toanannuity.
The moves will unload $26 billion in
pension liabilities from the Detroit auto-
makersbooks, andexpertssaythechang-
es are likely the start of a trendas compa-
nies with defined benefit pension plans
try tocut riskandadministrative costs.
GMsaidFriday that it will offer 42,000
retirees a lump-sumof cash if they agree
to stop taking monthly benefits. For the
rest of the 118,000 U.S. salaried retirees
andspouses, GMwill buyagroupannuity
that will make monthly payments start-
ingin2013.
ThePrudential InsuranceCo. will han-
dle the annuity andpay the benefits. The
amounts of the monthly pension pay-
mentswill not change. GMscurrent sala-
ried workers also will get the same bene-
fits they would have received before the
move.
Themoveswill cutGMstotal U.S. sala-
ried pension obligation from $36 billion
toaround$10billion.
GM will look for more ways to cut its
pension obligations, said Chief Financial
Officer Dan Ammann. He wouldnt say
whether similar moves are in the works
for the much larger blue-collar pension
plan. GM now pays pensions to a whop-
ping400,000blue-collarretireesandtheir
spouses.
Its U.S. hourly pension plan has about
$71 billion, about $10 billion short of its
obligations.

BALTIMOREWith so many
home mortgages underwater,
perhaps its little wonder that in-
terior designers have foundinspi-
ration in the murky depths of the
sea. Lets call it turninganegative
into a positive.
The rustic, woodsy themes of
fall and winter have given way to
crisp, blue nautical themes that
are expected to dominate home
decor for the next few months at
national retail outlets suchas Tar-
get as well as small chains and lo-
cally owned shops.
Nautical is super-trendy right
now, said Gary Godby, a manag-
er at Trohv, a home store with lo-
cations in Baltimores Hampden
neighborhood, and Washington,
D.C. Its gotten super-popular.
Its cute. It makes people antici-
pate the warm weather a little
more.
At a recent home-furnishings
trade show in Atlanta, he was
struck by all of the water-inspired
decor items, including throw pil-
lows adorned by underwater
creatures and accent pieces deco-
rated with shells, rope and other
objects associated with the sea.
Godby said he knew he could
have fun with the latest trend,
starting with something as sim-
ple as a fresh coat of paint.
He said colors such as light
blue, gray and other beachier
colors are the way to go.
Its the easiest way tochange a
room, he said.
You can commit all the way
and transform your room into a
sea-inspired getaway. Or you can
take a more conservative ap-
proach and scatter a few nautical
items about.
Stebbins Anderson, inTowson,
Md., has gone hook, line and
sinker for the trend. The show-
roomis filled with nautical finds,
including seashell lamps and
elaborate living roomsetups that
look right out of an issue of
Coastal Living.
Were really doing well with
it, said buyer Liz Roberts, add-
ing that the nautical trend has
beenafewyears inthemakingfor

ware store.

ry for us, she said. This year, we

Nikki Havens of Seriously
Organized in Bloomington,
Minn., recommends starting
with your entry hall closet.
Small closet or walk-in, use the
most convenient spot in your
home to your advantage. First,
identify the coats you actually

If you have too much stuff,
you cant find anything,
Havens says.

Place the first set of bins on

should be used for seasonal ac-
cessories, such as hats and
gloves in the winter or goggles
inthesummer.
If youdont useit acoupleof
times a week it shouldnt be

pairs of gloves you dont

Use the second shelf of bins
for what Havens calls the clut-
ter control center. From hair-

are you knowhowit feels to put

Youre uncomfortable. Noth-

to take more effort.
Sharon Kreighbaum believes
thats howit is with houses, too.
The Hudson, Ohio, resident
has written Is Your House Over-

home on a clutter diet. The book
helps readers streamline their
homes and set them up in a way
that simplifies day-to-day life.
The books premise is that a

ver the past seven
years Joe and Barbara
Waltons front yard
has been transformed
into an area of constant change
and surprise, whether in the
form of a plant that has just
bloomed or the details of a deco-
ration that might not have been
noticed on a first walkaround.
The Waltons treasured spot
inLarksville is a garden, for sure,
but for every plant and flower
theres also a garden tchotchke.
I like unusual things, Joe,
60, said of his buying strategy
when at estate, house and yard
sales.
The garden is bedecked with
such items, the most prominent
of them a metal silo he obtained
fromafriendanderectedhimself.
It came in on a flatbed in piec-
es soI put a scaffoldinthe middle
and built it up around that.
A windmill on the opposite
side of the yard also was brought
in on a flatbed, another two-piece
structure Joe assembled himself.
But these are the obvious deco-
rative elements. Some wrought-
iron fencing with a statue right in
the middle of it bought at a
house sale appears to contain
one face at first but actually con-
tains four, each representing one
season. A wire dress form stands
in one corner of the garden, a

Walton Sr., gave it to the couple.

Sedum: Flowering plants commonly known as stonecrops. The leaves are water-storing, and the flow-
ers usually have five petals. One type, the sedum reflexum, is used as a salad leaf or herb in Europe. The
leaves of all stonecrops can be eaten.
Alliums: Perennial bulbous plants that are referred to as the onion genus. The name Allium is the Latin
word for garlic. These plants produce thick chemical compounds that give off an onion or garlic taste and
scent.
Foxglove: The scientific name, Digitalis, means fingerlike and is given to this plant because it can fit
over a fingertip. The tubular flowers are produced on a tall spike.
Clematis: A climbing plant that produces white, pink or purple flowers and feathery seeds. The leaves
are divided into leaflets and leafstalks that curl around supporting structures to anchor the plant as it
climbs.
THE WALTON GARDEN, BY DEFINITION
Foxgloves are one of
many colorful plants in
the Waltons garden.
These delicate-looking
alliums give off a nox-
ious onionlike smell.
The clematis is a del-
icate-looking plant of
light, springlike hues.

the sunset, sip iced tea or simply enjoy a
beautiful day.
Inside, 1,673square feet of livingspace
awaits.
The great room opens to the kitchen
and breakfast nook to maximize interac-
tion across the spaces. A fireplace lends
its glow, and windows offer views of the

Once youve mastered the hall

Thefirst thingtodoispurge, Bu-

consignment pile and a give-to-
friends pile.
Perrilliat suggests tryingonany-
thing you havent worn in a while.
You could even invite a friend and
turnthechoreintoa fashionshow.
Not everyone has the budget to
buy new clothes, Butin says. Look
forclothesthatcouldgetnewlifefrom
analterationyoucouldsaveacou-
plehundreddollarsbyspending20.
Once youve cleared out the old,
take stock of whats left. Seasonal
clothes should be boxed up and put
instorage. Therestshouldbeplaced
on matching hangers facing the
same direction and categorized by
typei.e., shirts, pants, dresses.
You have to make your closet
functionfor you, Perrilliat says. If
youre a jeans and T-shirt person,
keepthosetowardthefront.
After youve categorized, orga-
nize your clothes by color within
eachcategory. Usecloset tabdivid-
ers between categories if you want
to go the extra mile. These can be
particularly helpful with look-alike
items nomorestrugglingtodis-

Butin advises using vertical
space for accessories and shoes.
The shelf above the hanging bar
can house hat boxes and shoes
stored in clear plastic boxes. Side
walls canholdhooks for handbags,
and a corkboard can display jewel-
ry. Belts get messy quickly, she
warns, so rolling themand placing
them in a basket is your best bet.

interior designer and home
stager, as well as her early experi-
ence as a kitchen designer.
Through her staging business,
Staged Makeovers, she mostly re-
arranges and redecorates homes
for sale, but she said shes found
that some clients want her servic-
es just to make their homes more
livable.
She also was inspired by a few
people in her life, she said.
One is her husband, Mark,
whom she described as a mini-
malist. Another is acousininCali-
fornia whose home was devastat-
ed by an earthquake but who de-
cided not to replace many of her
possessions because she realized
she didnt needthem. The thirdis
her brother, a priest who once
lived in a monastery in Italy with
just one closet and one dresser.
He enjoyed his situation and al-
ways looked sharp, even with a
limited wardrobe, she said. He
had such a full, rewarding life liv-
ing without stuff.
Kreighbaumsaidshes incorpo-
rated those lessons in her work
and shes seen the difference de-
clutteringcanmakeinher clients
lives. Onecoupleevenlost weight
after their house did, probably be-
cause decluttering lowered their
stress and freed space in their
kitchen so they could more easily
cook and eat healthful meals at
home, she said.
A clutter-free home, however,
doesnt have to be a spare one,
Kreighbaum insisted. After all,
the artist in her loves beautiful
things, andshe loves surrounding
herself with themjust as much as
her clients do.
You can live with luxury, but
just enough that its not clutter,
she said.
Clutter, she said, comes from
indecision. Things accumulate
because we havent decided how
to handle them or where to put
them.
So one of the keys to Kreigh-
baums approach is assigning ev-
erythinga home, whichshouldbe
where you use the item or where
you need it. Another is deciding
which activities you want to hap-
pen regularly in each room and
then keeping in it only the things
that support those activities.
Think of it as living like youre
on vacation, Kreighbaum said.
Even the most luxurious hotels
and vacation homes contain only
the things their guests will need
during their stays. Any more
than that and we wouldnt be able
to relax and unwind, she writes.
After all, fewer possessions
mean less stuff to maintain, she
pointed out. Its easier to put
thingsawayproperlywhentheres
space to store them, and house-
workgoes faster whentheres less
to clean.
Decluttering saves money, too.
Not only will you stop buying
things that dont enrich your life,
she said, but youll alsohave a bet-
ter handle on what you do own so
you dont find yourself spending
money on duplicates. And if
youre paying money to store
what youre not using, youll be
able to eliminate that expense.
She recalled one couple she
worked with who paid $175 a
month for a storage unit. They fi-
nally decided to clean it out and
have a garage sale, but because
the unit wasnt climate-con-
trolled, theyfoundruinedclothes,
rusty bikes and furniture and
books that smelled of mildew.
The husband did the math. In
the eight years theyd been rent-
ing the unit, he discovered, theyd
spent $16,800 to keep things that
were worthless.

saw it more than normal. Be-
cause of the popularity of the Ma-
ryland crab, we set up a display
area and kept it.
Roberts recommends that cus-
tomers take one room and trans-
form it using the nautical theme.
In her home, she decorated her
bathroom in a beach motif.
If you cant commit fully, Ro-
berts suggested, incorporate ac-
cent pieces such as pillows,
throws or picture frames. Com-
plement the furniture and dont
overtake it, she said.
Godby suggests using painted
furniture to achieve a seaside
feel.
Painted furniture in dis-
tressedcolors suchas white, light
blue and yellow give you that
beach-house look, he said. Ive
had several people use those
items (furniture indistressedcol-
ors) for their beach house.
Dee Cunningham, owner of
Delight Designs, recommends fo-
cusing on accessories. Add pops
of fun and color with whimsical
items, keeping the rooms larger
basic pieces in neutral hues.
Themed rooms get really old,
really quick, she said. You dont
want to be stuck with some-
thing.

lightning rod and grinding

Next to the towering silo is
another striking item, a large
wooden wagon with the skull
of an animal attached. Along
this wagonis linedupjust one
of many collections in the
Waltons garden: glass birds.
We just started picking
them up and havent stop-
ped, Barbara, 56, said. Ev-
ery time we see one, we grab
it.
Blue-hued insulators line
one section of plants.
They come from around
railroad tracks, Joe said.
They sit up on the telephone
poles, insulators from the
wire.
Inside the silo, which dou-
bles as a storage space for
pots and gardening tools,
hangs a bevy of wooden-han-
dled shovels.
I like them because of the
way theyre made, Joe said.
That handle is cut from one
piece of wood, not two and
pieced together.
Barbara looks at the cou-
ples collection as recycling.
Its a really green thing to
do. Its not going into a landfill;
instead youre taking it home
and using it.
To hear Joe tell it, his interest
in gardening began seven years
ago on a whim. After retiring
two years ago fromthe construc-
tion business, he has taken on
gardening as a nearly full-time
job.
I spend about 30 hours a
week out here, he said. Theres
always something to do. Im
pretty sure I pull weeds every
day.
I enjoy it though. Its very re-
laxing.
Joe leaves much of the garden
alone in the winter, though he
has to tend to some of the plants.
He mulches andputs a cover over
the banana tree, which sits in the
middle of a yellow-painted metal
bed frame.
The Waltons, who have three
children and two grandchildren,
dont favor any certain type of
plant but doseekout those witha
strong aroma.
We like tosit out here andjust
take in all the different smells,
Barbara said. I love the wiste-
ria.
Wisteria is a climbing shrub
with hanging clusters of pale
bluish-lilac flowers and can be
found in the Waltons garden
creeping up just outside the silo.
Other plants in the garden in-
clude lilies, peonies, winterberry
holly, juneberries, autumn cro-
cuses, miniature roses and even
a cactus.
Joe plants what he feels like
and lets nature take over, appre-
ciating the fact that every day he
walks out into his garden the
scenery changes.
Theres always something
new to see, he said.
