WILKES-BARRE With kids
running around the playground at
Coal Street Park on a warm and
sunny Monday, the citys heralded
splash pad was bone dry.
Parents at the park were told the
water attraction is broken again.
Its getting warm now, said
Shanna Gong, 29, who brought her
son and three friends to the park.
It better be xed, because its go-
ing to get hot soon.
About 25 children were play-
ing in the park Monday morn-
ing. A playground for younger
children is located adjacent
to the splash pad. It was built
for the city with funding from
Luzerne County governments second-
highest expense the prison system will

budget work session tonight.
Council members must adopt budgets un-
der home rule and recently decided to start
holding monthly nancial discussions to get a
better handle on county governments $260.1
million annual operation, which includes
county agencies primarily or entirely subsi-
dized by the state and federal government.
This years $29.5 million prison budget is
exceeded only by Children and Youths $42.4
million allocation.
In preparation for the session, county Man-
ager Robert Lawton publicly released a report
packed with statistics, including gures that
show spending on stafng has continued to
grow while the number of inmates is declin-
ing.
Prison costs
Despite correctional ofcer furloughs last
year, spending on stafng is rising.
About 79 percent of the budget $23.4
million goes to wages and benets for
roughly 300 employees.
In comparison, stafng costs were $22.8
million in 2011 and 2012.
The nearly half-a-million-dollar increase
this year was attributed to mandatory raises
for union workers. The union contract expires
the end of this year, and the collective bargain-
ing unit has the right to binding arbitration.

OSTERHOUT BOOK SALE
Old tradition, new chapter
WILKES-BARRE At 23, Jeffrey
Ford already is a veteran visitor to
the Friends of the Osterhout Free Li-
brary book sale.
Eyes gliding over row upon row
of paperback spines Monday after-
noon, Ford couldnt quite remember
when he rst came to the annual
book bonanza in search of science-
ction titles and comics. As to the
events greater signicance, he had
no doubt.
Its an important part of the com-
munity, Ford said of the 124-year-
old institution, which benets from
the yearly sale proceeds. Libraries
are an important part of any commu-
nity in general.
The sale, which kicked off its week-
long run on Saturday, is expected to
generate more than $20,000 to sup-
port the library and its programs,
said Friends president and sale co-
chairwoman Ronnie Buzinkai. By
Monday afternoon $8,677 had been
raised, she said.
All the books are donated, and ev-
ery dime raised by the all-volunteer
effort is funnelled back into the facil-
ity, Buzinkai and library executive
director Richard Miller said.
In a year when the library has cut
hours due to decreased funding, ev-
ery one of those dimes counts, Miller
said, especially to the 180,000 people
who visit the main library and its
branches annually in search of ev-
erything from books and community
programs to information needed for
school projects or job searches.
Its hard to wrap your arms
around what a library does, because
we do so many things for so many
people, Miller said.
Its the one place where everyone
is equal, Buzinkai said. Its the one
true democracy.
The library has an an-
nual budget of about $2 mil-
lion, and has seen a cumula-

High and dry: Kids splash pad
at Coal Street Park broken again
WASHINGTON The
Supreme Court on Monday
struck down an Arizona law
requiring that people register-
ing to vote in federal elections
provide proof of U.S. citizen-
ship.
In the latest round of an
immigration debate pitting
state against federal powers,
the court in a 7-2 decision de-
clared that Arizonas law went
too far. Conservative and liber-
al justices agreed that, at least
when it comes to voter regis-
tration, federal law prevails.

Jorge Tume used to sit
and do homework as
his parents cleaned the
desks and oors of a con-

When he was nished,

Tumes parents
brought him to the
U.S. from Peru with his

on tourist visas and then
stayed in the country il-

After he graduated

LEHMAN TWP. In a cost-
cutting move, the Lake-Lehman
School Board on Monday ap-
pointed an administrator with
no classroom experience as
principal of Ross Elementary.
Board members also passed a
$27 million budget that requires
a 4.33 percent increase in prop-
erty taxes for residents who live
in Luzerne County. Those resid-
ing in Wyoming County will see
a tax decrease of 5.88 percent in
the coming year.
Board members Bo Krel-
ler and Karen Masters voted
against the tax increase. At
Mays meeting, they stated their
opposition to higher taxes.
Newly appointed principal
Lori Bednarek has a masters
degree in Business Education
Management and serves as spe-
cial projects coordinator for the
district.
She will continue in some of
her present duties in addition to
her new assignment.
Ellen Boyer of Ross Township
questioned the appointment
before the school boards vote.
Our principal will be dividing
her attention, she said.
Superintendent James Mc-
Govern said most of the dis-
tricts principals do double duty.
This is going to work, he said.
When Boyer asked about hir-
ing a principal who had never
taught, McGovern said, I be-
lieve in this decision. Im going
to leave Ross in great hands.
Two board members, James
Welby and Richard Bombick,
voted against the appointment.
A stipend of $7,324 will be
added to Bednareks present
salary of $55,676. The stipend
will be paid in two installments
and will be based on satisfactory
evaluations.
After the meeting, McGovern
defended the selection of Bed-
narek for principal.
He explained that two years
ago Gov. Tom Corbett made
changes that allow persons with
masters degrees in business to
serve as superintendents and
principals in the states school
districts.
He also said the present
budget reduced the number of
teaching positions by three. He
felt it was fair to make a reduc-
tion in the administration as
well. Bednareks appointment
will combine two administrative
positions into one.
Board President Mark Kor-
noski added his support to Mc-
Governs choice.
If the man says its gonna
work, its gonna work, he said.

LEHMAN TWP. The
Board of Supervisors announced
Monday that planned paving on
sections of Fedor and Jackson
roads as well all of Mountain-
view Drive is ready to put up for
bid.
Supervisor Doug Ide said that
because the paving has to be
done in the summer, the bids
will be opened at next months
regular meeting.
In other matters, township
police Chief Howard Kocher
said his department responded
to 210 complaints last month,
higher than the average of 125-
150 calls for this time of year.
He said follow-up calls relat-
ing to last months fatal motor
vehicle accident attributed to
the spike in numbers.
The Lehman Township Mu-
nicipal Authority will meet on
June 25 to pass a resolution to
dissolve the authority, Treasur-
er Alvin Cragle said.
The authority was established
in 1985 to supervise the installa-
tion of the Oak Hill Subdivision
sewer system.
Once the authority is ofcial-
ly dissolved, roughly $200,000
will be transferred from the au-
thority to a special account set
up by the township that will be
used to fund the maintenance of
Oak Hills roads as well as 42nd
Street, Cragle said.
The authority will transfer its
operations to the Dallas Area
Municipal Authority.
The board also announced
that a two-week solicitation
permit was issued to Andrew
Williamson of Nashville-based
Southwestern Advantage Co.
The permit allows Williamson
and his partner to go door-to-
door selling childrens books
and software.
A copy of Williamsons driv-
ers license is maintained in the
police department.
The board also approved a
temporary permit to the Dallas
Cross-Country Team to host the
Run for the Fallen 5K run/
walk on Aug. 21.
The race will begin at 6:30
p.m. at the Penn State Wilkes-
Barre campus.
Next months supervisors
meeting will be July 15 at 7 p.m.
Lehman Twp. paving project ready for bid
By CAMILLE FIOTI
PITTSTON TWP. The
Board of Supervisors on Mon-
day tabled a motion to modify
zoning for property at 755 S.
Township Blvd. to make way for
a transitional housing facility for
veterans.
The motion was presented
in response to a request by the
Veterans of the Vietnam War/
Veterans Coalition.
The area is zoned as B-2 to
be used for business activities,
making it necessary for an new
ordinance to be drafted or a spe-
cial exception to be granted so
the property may be used for
transitional housing.
Attorney Thomas OConnor,
representing the veterans,
said the facility would be used
for housing, training and for
a caf to support and train
needy veterans.
There are more homeless
people in this area than we
know, said OConnor, and
many of them are veterans.
The board expressed con-
cerns about the demographics
of the facility, which would in-
clude those who had completed
drug-and-alcohol rehabilitation
at the Department Veterans Af-
fairs Medical Center in Plains
Township.
OConnor said residents
would be consistently screened
and the facility would have zero
tolerance for drug and alcohol
use.
It would also serve older vet-
erans, not as a care facility, but
as a housing option, he said.
At the suggestion of Stephen
Rinaldi, the motion was tabled
to give opportunity for clarica-
tion of legal/zoning issues and
further discussion by the board.
Several members said they
were concerned that if the ex-
ception was made the door
would be open to similar enti-
ties to attempt to use the area
designated as B-2 for non-busi-
ness purposes.
In another matter, resident
John Lombardo expressed con-
cern about speeding on the
Pittston Bypass. Police Chief
Robert Avvisato said the force
would increase its presence
on the bypass, and procedures
would be implemented to moni-
tor speed.
In the long term, residents
will get accustomed to lowering
their speed, knowing they could
be ticketed and ned, said Av-
visato.
Pittston Twp. tables veteran housing issue
Request made by the
Veterans of the Vietnam War/
Veterans Coalition.
By GERI GIBBONS
PLAINS TWP. The Wilkes-
Barre Area Career & Technical
Center has a superintendent
of record, but whether he ever
needs to be at a joint operating
committee seems to be open for
debate.
The committee voted last
year to keep the superintendent
of the largest sending school,
Wilkes-Barre Area, as the su-
perintendent of record despite
attempts by representatives of
some sending districts to have
the role rotate through all ve
sending districts.
However, at the most recent
meeting, Wilkes-Barre Area
representative Lynn Evans said
that since the acting superin-
tendent from Wilkes-Barre has
not attended any meetings,
she wanted to make a motion
to have the superintendent of
record designate an alternate
from one of the other districts
to attend when he could not.
If they want the title, the
least they can do is showup here
for half an hour, Evans said.
The motion received a second
Monday night, but then Pittston
Area representative Bruce
Knick moved to table, with
questions arising from various
board members about whether
the superintendents even want
to attend the joint operating
committee meeting.
The motion to table passed,
with some board members stat-
ing that the superintendents
preferences for attending should
be considered the issue revisit-
ed.
In other business, the com-
mittee:
Approved payments totaling
$146,170 to Joyce Insurance
Group for several insurance
policies.
Approved a four year lease
with Apple Computers in the
amount of $27,561 per year for
the audio visual and graphic arts
shops.
Approved payment to Eve-
ron Electrical Contractors for
$7,470 for repairs to the emer-
gency power for computer serv-
ers and for $20,225 for electrical
work on the practical nursing
construction project.
Approved payments total-
ing $176,360 to Apollo Group,
Inc for general construction
and $35,141 to Bognet, Inc. for
plumbing work on the practical
nursing construction project.

Nuke plant medical issues faulted
SALEM TWP. Failure to report
potentially debilitating medical con-
ditions of nuclear plant operators
ranging from sleep apnea to car-
diac and respiratory problems in a
timely fashion could result in federal
enforcement actions against PPL, Nu-
clear Regulatory Commission ofcials
said Monday.
According to the press release and
an accompanying report, inspectors
found multiple cases in which opera-
tors were diagnosed with medical
conditions that involved permanent
disabilities and/or illnesses but were
not reported within 30 days as re-
quired.
Inspectors also found that, in some
cases, PPL submitted license operator
renewal applications that certied the
medical tness of the applicants when
in fact, each had medical conditions
that did not meet the minimum stan-
dards.
PPL spokesman Joe Scopelliti said
the company has taken numerous
steps to correct the issues and that
public safety wasnt compromised
because there are a group of opera-
tors in the control room at all times.
The problems go back to 2009, ac-
cording to the report, and PPL did
a detailed evaluation followed by
submission of 10 medical updates
in June 2012, four of which involved
permanent changes in medical con-
ditions that had not been previously
submitted within 30 days as required
by federal regulations. The NRCinde-
pendently identied three additional
cases among those 10 that also in-
volved permanent changes in medical
conditions.
Examples of the medical conditions
cited in the report include sleep apnea,
coronary artery disease, development
of pulmonary problems that required
use of an inhaler for asthma and an
operator taking medication for stress-
related anxiety.
PPL also conducted a Root Cause
Analysis in 2012 to identify issues
and corrective action, but missed sev-
eral causes, the report says, including
insufcient training of the medical
review ofcer, aws in the medical
examination process, and exams con-
ducted by a doctor who lacked knowl-
edge of the standards that had to be
met.
As a result, from 2009 until 2013,
disqualifying medical conditions con-
tinued to be identied, but the condi-
tions were not properly addressed,
the report says. In a high-stress sce-
nario where respiratory equipment
was required there was an increased
potential that these operators may
become incapacitated and unable to
carry out risk-signicant operator ac-
tions.
Scopelliti said the company is in dis-
cussions with the NRC regarding the
root cause analysis to make sure we
understand what their expectations
are, and that corrective actions have
been taken, including training for the
companys medical review ofcer and
training operators on what medical
conditions must be reported.
WILKES-BARRE What kind of
community do you want to live in?
Thats the top question the United
Way of Wyoming Valley is asking in a
new Community Ask Survey that will
eventually help organization ofcials
and volunteers decide how donations
will be distributed to member agen-
cies.
The survey is a tool the organiza-
tion will use as part of its strategic
planning process that will lead the or-
ganization to a new model of funding
a community-impact model, United
Way of Wyoming Valley President and
CEO Bill Jones explained on Monday.
Most people understand that the
United Way has used a funding-con-
duit model in the past people do-
nate to the United Way and the United
Way distributes those donations to
46 programs in 25 member agencies,
Jones said.
Despite all that good work by the
member agencies, community issues
still exist and just arent getting bet-
ter, Jones said.
So, in response, were studying the
needs of the community, the aspira-
tions of the community. By the end of
the calendar year, were trying to focus
in on some priorities that are impor-
tant to the community, and we will
develop strategies around those priori-
ties, Jones said.
United Way workers and volunteers
will work with the Institute for Public
Policy and Economic Development to
analyze the survey responses as well
as local, statewide and national data
about the area to determine what is
wanted and needed in the community.
Then well invite the member agen-
cies in, say: This is what were trying
to attain, and request proposals from
them on how their programs will
meet the community goals, Jones said.
The United Ways Community Im-
pact Council will review the propos-
als and the ones that best address the
strategies developed to meet commu-
nity priorities will get funded.
The United Way already has an elec-
tronic version of the survey online,
and volunteers also are conducting
personal interviews with community
members and having group conversa-
tions with all different segments of the
community, Jones said.
We want to hear from everyone
people who are donors, people who
arent donors. We want to be able to
say the results of this work will reect
the aspirations of the community, he
said.
Jones said he hopes that survey
work will be wrapped up by the end
of July and we hope to have a focus
on our priorities at the end of the cal-
endar year.

CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Ian Temarantz, 10, of Wilkes-Barre, is one of the rst in line to get a free lunch at Coal Street Park as part of the Summer Food Program in Wilkes-Barre.
WILKES-BARRE About 25 chil-
dren were having fun at the Coal Street
playground Monday, but when a sum-
mer worker yelled Lunch is served,
they all came running.
According to Carol Hussa, Wilkes-
Barre Family YMCA Healthy Commu-
nity Coordinator, the free Food-n-Fun
@ the Park Program is under way in
partnership with the YMCA, the city
and the Commission on Economic
Opportunity to ensure that fewer kids
and teens go hungry this summer. The
free programis funded through a grant
from the Walmart Foundation.
Hussa said that when the school
year ends, so do free meals for the mil-
lions of children in economically chal-
lenged families who depend on the
meals most. She said the program will
provide nutritious meals and snacks,
plus activities, to keep kids minds and
bodies nourished and active.
The free program offers children
andteens, kindergartento 12thgrades,
supervised, fun activities; educational
and social programs and, best of all, a
nutritious lunch and snack in four city
parks and at the YMCA, Hussa said.
Shanna Gong, 29, of Wilkes-Barre,
said the program is phenomenal.
She brought her son to the park for
a day of fun and having the lunch pro-
vided was a bonus.
A lot of times children dont get
their fruits and vegetables at home,
Gong said. This program provides a
balanced meal that they need.
Mondays fare included tortilla chips
with cheese sauce, salsa and beans,
and fresh oranges and milk.
The summer meals program has
been an extraordinary success since
it was launched a few years ago, said
Mayor Tom Leighton.
Tens of thousands of meals have
been served to city children when they
are in their greatest need for proper
nutrition, the mayor said.
The Wilkes-Barre Family YMCAs
Summer Food Program is part of a na-
tional partnership between YMCA of
the USA and the Walmart Foundation
to address child hunger in communi-
ties. This summer, the Y will strive
to serve 4 million healthy meals and
snacks to 100,000 kids at more than
900 summer food program sites na-
tionwide.
Joslyn Orrson, programcoordinator,
said combining healthy food with exer-
cise is the key to the program.
We offer educational classes as
well to teach good nutrition. We try to
teach them the benets of eating a ba-
nana instead of potato chips.
Hussa said the program is free to
any child in the city; no registration is
necessary and no fees are charged.
Hussa said the meals meet federal
food standards.
In 2012, Hussa said, about 846 chil-
dren participated. This year, she ex-
pects to serve more than 8,000 lunches
to more than 800 children.
She said the lunches are usually
served between 11:30 a.m. and noon
at ve locations:
Coal Street Park: Coal and North
Sherman streets.
Iron Triangle Playground: Corner
of Hickory and Metcalf streets.
Madison/Flood Park: Corner of
East Maple and North Washington
streets.
Parsons Playground: 1100 block of
Scott Street, behind Turkey Hill.
Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA: 40 W.
Northampton St. Note: Space is limit-
ed to 50 children.
The Food-n-Fun @ the Park pro-
gram is offered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Monday through Friday through Aug.
16.
To learn more about the Food-n-Fun
@ the Park Program, call the Wilkes-
Barre YMCA at 823-2191 or CEO at

WILKES-BARRE A city
man charged with robbing a
Nanticoke pharmacy at gun-
point and getting away with
painkillers pleaded guilty Mon-
day to related charges.
Mark Steven Benjamin Sr.,
41, of North Sherman Street,
entered the plea to two counts
of robbery and one count each
of theft and a weapons charge.
Benjamin faces a maximum
of 10 years in prison on one of
the robbery charges when he is
sentenced on Sept. 3.
Assistant District Attorney
Jill Matthews Lada said prose-
cutors will be seeking a deadly
weapon enhancement at the
time of Benjamins sentencing.
The deadly weapon enhance-
ment is applied to a defendants
sentence when a judge deter-
mines the offender possessed a
deadly weapon while commit-
ting the offense and when any
of the following happened: the
rearm was loaded or unload-
ed, the weapon is dangerous or
the weapon can cause death or
serious bodily injury, according
to Pennsylvania law.
Benjamin is represented by
attorney John Donovan and is
free after posting $100,000 bail
in July.
According to court papers,
Nanticoke police responded to
Spotanskis Pharmacy on Pros-
pect Street on June 25, 2012,
after an armed robbery was re-
ported.
Pharmacist Kathy Smith told
police a man entered the store
and demanded Fentanyl or
painkillers while pointing what
appeared to be a shotgun in a
large garbage bag in her direc-
tion. Smith said she could see
only the end of the shotgun bar-
rel and feared for her life.
Smith told the man she had
no fentanyl but quickly gave
him a bottle of generic Oxyco-
done and acetaminophen tab-
lets she had in front of her. The
man took the bottle and ran
from the store.
A store employee told police
the man, later identied as
Benjamin, ran north on South
Prospect Street.
A short time later, police
were notied by Hanover
Township police they spotted
a man who t Benjamins de-
scription on Middle Road near
the entrance to the Hanover
Industrial Park. Benjamin was
pulled over in a truck owned by
his mother.
Police said Benjamin told
them he committed the crime,
he was sorry and he had in-
tended to sell the drugs. He
told police he hid a broken
shotgun under a bed in a spare
bedroom of his mothers house
in Nanticoke, changed his shirt
and hid it and a baseball cap in
the truck.
Benjamin will be required to
pay $105 in restitution to the
pharmacy and is not permitted
to enter Spotanskis.
WILKES-BARRE One of
two fugitives captured after
city police investigated a distur-
bance near Carey Avenue and
Division Street stated she had
been waiting to be caught.
Nicole Martinez, 20, of
Charles Street, Ashley, was
found on Simpson Street, Wil-
kes-Barre, where police said she
identied herself using another
name just before midnight Fri-
day.
A records check showed Mar-
tinez was wanted by Kingston
police on charges she took a
purse from a Section 8 ofce
and used a bank card containing
a tax refund to go on a shopping
spree in March, according to ar-
rest records.
After Martinez was identi-
ed, she allegedly told police,
It was about time you got me;
Ive been waiting, arrest re-
cords say.
City police said Martinez
was handcuffed and placed in
the rear seat of a cruiser, where
she kicked and banged her head
against the window.
Martinez was captured along
with Dustan Conniff, 21, of
Bradford Street, Wilkes-Barre,
who was stunned by a Taser by
Hanover Township police dur-
ing an attempted escape.
City police allege Conniff
slapped Martinez near the Tur-
key Hill on Carey Avenue and
threatened to shoot witnesses
who tried to intervene, accord-
ing to arrest records.
Conniff ran after city police
arrived and was stopped by
township police near Lee Park
Avenue, where he was Tasered.
Police said they found a pipe
used to smoke marijuana in
Conniffs pocket.
City police learned he was
wanted by Wilkes-Barre Town-
ship police since May 10, 2012,
when he was charged with pro-
viding false identication to law
enforcement, public drunken-
ness and underage drinking.
Arrests and court records say:
Kingston police allege
Martinez was inside a Luzerne
County Housing Authority Of-
ce on First Avenue on March
11, when she stole a purse. Mar-
tinez used a bank card contain-
ing a tax refund to purchase cig-
arettes and phone cards before
discarding the bank card and
purse in a creek in Ashley.
Wilkes-Barre Township
police said they encountered
Conniff and another man, when
both were intoxicated, in the
area of South Walnut and Met-
calf streets on Jan. 23, 2012.
Conniff used another name to
identify himself and escaped
when police handcuffed the
other man.
Conniff and Martinez were
arraigned by District Judge Jo-
seph Halesey in Hanover Town-
ship and jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for
lack of $15,000 bail each.

ENNISKILLEN, Northern
Ireland Russian President
Vladimir Putin told President
Barack Obama on Monday
that their positions on Syria
do not coincide but the
two leaders said during the
G-8 summit that they have a
shared interest in stopping
the violence that has ravaged
the Middle Eastern country
during a two-year-old war.
Obama acknowledged in a
bilateral meeting with Putin
in Northern Ireland that they
have a different perspective
on Syria but he said that both
leaders wanted to address
the erce ghting and also
wanted to secure chemical
weapons in the country. The
U.S. president said both sides
would work to develop talks
in Geneva aimed at ending the
countrys bloody civil war.
We do have differing per-
spectives on the problem
but we share an interest in
reducing the violence, secur-
ing chemical weapons and
ensuring that theyre neither
used nor are they subject to
proliferation, Obama said.
We want to try to resolve the
issue through political means
if possible.
Putin said of course our
opinions do not coincide, but
all of us have the intention
to stop the violence in Syria
and to stop the growth of
victims and to solve the situ-
ation peacefully, including by
bringing the parties to the ne-
gotiations table in Geneva. We
agreed to push the parties to
the negotiations table.
While Putin has called for
negotiated peace talks, he has
not urged Syrian President
Bashar Assad to leave power,
and he remains one of Assads
strongest political and mili-
tary allies. The White House
did not expect any break-
through with Putin on Syria
during the gathering of the
Group of Eight Summit and
the meeting further highlight-
ed the rift between the two
countries on how to address
the ghting in Syria.
Obama announced Fri-
day that the U.S. would start
sending weaponry, while
Britain and France remained
concerned that the repower
might end up helping anti-
democratic extremists linked
to Iran and Lebanons Hezbol-
lah militia. Putin has defended
Russias continuing supply of
weapons to Assads military.

Agents search again for Hoffa
Federal agents revived the hunt for
the remains of Jimmy Hoffa on Mon-
day, bringing excavation equipment
to a eld in suburban Detroit where a
reputed Maa captain says the Team-
sters boss body was buried.
Robert Foley, special agent in charge
of the FBIs Detroit division, said the
agency and its partners had a search
warrant allowing them to dig at the
property in Oakland Township, about
25 miles north of Detroit.
Ofcials are here to execute a
search warrant, based on information
that we have involving the disappear-
ance of Jimmy Hoffa, Foley said.
He said the warrant was sealed and
details about what was sought would
not be released.
Oakland county Sheriff Mike
Bouchard, who joined Foley at a news
conference, said it was his fondest
hope to bring closure for Hoffas fam-
ily and the community.
Hoffa, Teamsters president from
1957-71, was an acquaintance of
mobsters and an adversary of federal
ofcials. The day in 1975 when he dis-
appeared from a Detroit-area restau-
rant, he was supposed to be meeting
with a New Jersey Teamsters boss and
a Detroit Maa captain.
SANFORD, FLA.
Zimmerman case proceeds
Potential jurors views on race were
the focus of questioning Monday in
second week of their selection for the
second-degree murder trial of George
Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of
black teenager Trayvon Martin.
A defense attorney questioned a
potential juror extensively about her
views on the case and whether she
was bothered by protests led by civil
rights leaders after Zimmermans
shooting last year of the unarmed
17-year-old Martin. Zimmerman iden-
ties himself as Hispanic.
ISTANBUL
Unions join in protests
Labor groups fanned a wave of
deance against Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogans authority on
Monday, leading rallies and a one-day
strike to support activists whose two-
week standoff with the government
has shaken Turkeys democracy.
Riot police again deployed in
Turkeys two main cities, and authori-
ties kept up their unyielding stance
against the street demonstrations. But
Mondays police sweep was less force-
ful than in recent days with only
scattered ring of tear gas and water
cannon on pockets of protesters.
After activists were ousted from
their sit-in in Istanbuls Gezi Park over
the weekend, two labor confederations
that represent some 330,000 workers
picked up the slack Monday by calling
a strike and demonstrations nation-
wide. Unionists turned up by the
thousands in Ankara, Istanbul, coastal
Izmir and elsewhere.

Will organs
be grown
in the lab?
NEW YORK By the time
10-year-old Sarah Murnaghan
nally got a lung transplant last
week, shed been waiting for
months, and her parents had
sued to give her a better shot at
surgery.
Her cystic brosis was threat-
ening her life, and her case
spurred a debate on how to al-
locate donor organs. Lungs and
other organs for transplant are
scarce.
But what if there were another
way? What if you could grow a
custom-made organ in a lab?
It sounds incredible. But just a
three-hour drive from the Phila-
delphia hospital where Sarah got
her transplant, another little girl
is beneting from just that sort
of technology. Two years ago,
Angela Irizarry of Lewisburg,
Pa., needed a crucial blood ves-
sel. Researchers built her one
in a laboratory, using cells from
her own bone marrow. Today
the 5-year-old sings, dances and
dreams of becoming a reghter
and a doctor.
Growing lungs and other or-
gans for transplant is still in the
future, but scientists are working
toward that goal. In North caro-
lina, a 3-D printer builds proto-
type kidneys. In several labs,
scientists study how to build on
the internal scaffolding of hearts,
lungs, livers and kidneys of peo-
ple and pigs to make custom-
made implants.
Heres the dream scenario:
A patient donates cells, either
from a biopsy or maybe just a
blood draw. A lab uses them, or
cells made from them, to seed
onto a scaffold thats shaped like
the organ he needs. Then, says
Dr. Harald Ott of Massachusetts
General Hospital, we can regen-
erate an organ that will not be
rejected (and can be) grown on
demand and transplanted surgi-
cally, similar to a donor organ.
That wont happen anytime
soon for solid organs like lungs
or livers. But as Angela Irizarrys
case shows, simpler body parts
are already being used as re-
searchers explore the possibili-
ties of the eld.
Just a few weeks ago, a girl in
Peoria, Ill., got an experimental
windpipe that used a synthetic
scaffold covered in stem cells
from her own bone marrow.
More than a dozen patients have
had similar operations.
Dozens of people are thriv-
ing with experimental bladders
made fromtheir own cells, as are
more than a dozen who have ure-
thras made from their own blad-
der tissue. A Swedish girl who
got a vein made with her marrow
cells to bypass a liver vein block-
age in 2011 is still doing well,
her surgeon says.
Science potentially could ease
problem of nding donors for
transplant patients.

Women could begin training for Rangers in 2015, SEALs in 2016
WASHINGTON Women may be
able to start training as Army Rangers
by mid-2015 and as Navy SEALs a year
later under plans set to be announced
by the Pentagon that would slowly
bring women into thousands of combat
jobs, including those in elite special op-
erations forces.
Details of the plans were obtained
by The Associated Press. They call for
requiring women and men to meet the
same physical and mental standards to
quality for certain infantry, armor, com-
mando and other front-line positions
across the Army, Navy, Air Force and
Marines. Defense Secretary chuck Ha-
gel reviewed the plans and has ordered
the services to move ahead.
The move, expected to be announced
Tuesday, follows revelations of a star-
tling number of sexual assaults in the
armed forces. Earlier this year, Joint
chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Martin
Dempsey said the sexual assaults might
be linked to the longstanding ban on
women serving in combat because the
disparity between the roles of men and
women creates separate classes of per-
sonnel male warriors versus the
rest of the force.
While the sexual assault problem is
more complicated than that, he said,
the disparity has created a psychology
that lends itself to disrespect for wom-
en.
Under the schedules military lead-
ers delivered to Hagel, the Army will
develop standards by July 2015 to al-
low women to train and potentially
serve as Rangers, and qualied women
could begin training as Navy SEALS by
March 2016 if senior leaders agree.
Military leaders have suggested
bringing senior women from the ofcer
and enlisted ranks into special forces
units rst to ensure that the younger,
lower-ranking women have a support
system to help them get through the
transition.
Plans would put women in most combat jobs

Paper: Snowden will not return to US voluntarily
WASHINGTON NSA
leaker Edward Snowden de-
fended his disclosure of top-
secret U.S. spying programs
in an online chat Monday
with The Guardian and at-
tacked U.S. ofcials for call-
ing him a traitor.
The U.S. government is
not going to be able to cover
this up by jailing or murder-
ing me, he said.
He added the government
immediately and predict-
ably destroyed any possibil-
ity of a fair trial at home, by
labeling him a traitor, and in-
dicated he would not return
to the U.S. voluntarily.
congressional leaders
have called Snowden a trai-
tor for revealing once-secret
surveillance programs two
weeks ago in the Guardian
and The Washington Post.
The National Security Agen-
cy programs collect records
of Americans telephone
calls and Internet usage as a
counterterror tool.
The disclosures revealed
the scope of the collections,
which surprised many Amer-
icans and have sparked de-
bate about how much priva-
cy the government can take
away in the name of national
security.
It would be foolish to vol-
unteer yourself to possible
arrest and criminal charges
if you can do more good
outside of prison than in it,
he said.
Snowden dismissed being
called a traitor by former
Vice President Dick cheney,
who made the allegations in
an interview this week on
Fox News Sunday.
cheney was echoing the
comments of both Demo-
crats and Republican lead-
ership on capitol Hill, in-
cluding Senate Intelligence
committee chairwoman Di-
anne Feinstein.
Being called a traitor by
Dick cheney is the highest
honor you can give an Amer-
ican, and the more panicked
talk we hear frompeople like
him, Feinstein the bet-
ter off we all are, Snowden
said.
The Guardian announced
that its website was host-
ing an online chat with
Snowden, in hiding in Hong
Kong, with reporter Glenn
Greenwald receiving and
posting his questions.

COURT BRIEFS
WILKES-BARRE A Shick-
shinny man charged with break-
ing into a borough home during
the September 2011 ood and
causing damage pleaded guilty
Monday to a related charge.
Richard Wisniewski, 42,
of Browns Road, entered the
plea to a charge of criminal
conspiracy to commit criminal
trespassing relating to the Sept.
11, 2011, incident.
County Judge David Lupas
said Wisniewski will be sen-
tenced on Aug. 15 at which time
he will be ordered to pay half
of $13,585 to the victim in the
case, along with a co-defendant.
According to court papers, a
Shickshinny, woman reported to
police that her home had been
damaged by the ood, and that
she returned to retrieve some
items.
The woman said she noticed
unopened beer cans as well as
missing copper piping, water
meter and propane heater.
Police later learned Wisniewski
was in the home with another
man.
WILKES-BARRE A Hazle-
ton man pleaded guilty Monday
to charges stemming from the
kidnapping of a woman and an
unrelated charge.
Wilson Peguero-Mateo, 19,
of Tamarack Street, entered the
plea to a charge of criminal con-
spiracy for his role in the June
2012 incident.
Peguero-Mateo will be sen-
tenced on the felony charge and
an unrelated charge of posses-
sion of a instrument of crime on
Sept. 3, Luzerne County Judge
Fred Pierantoni said.
Peguero-Mateo was one of four
people arrested in Carbon Coun-
ty after a 21-year-old woman
from Mountain Top said she was
kidnapped in her vehicle.
Police said the woman,
driving a Dodge minivan, was
stopped along Interstate 81 in
Rice Township when she was
approached by the four at about
1:45 a.m. She told police she
was ordered out of her vehicle
at gunpoint and told to sit in a
rear seat of the van. One of the
suspects drove the van a short
distance before releasing her
along the highway.
In the other case, police said
Peguero-Mateo was found to be
in possession of a screwdriver
in May 2012 after a report
of individuals breaking into
vehicles along Johns Avenue in
Hazleton.
WILKES-BARRE - Two
Turkey Hill stores about one
mile apart were robbed early
Saturday morning by a suspect
wearing a scarf on his face.
The rst robbery was
reported at 1:45 a.m. at the Tur-
key Hill on South Main Street
by what police say was a black
man, medium build, about 6
feet 4 inches tall, wearing a
dark hooded shirt and a scarf on
his face. The suspect demanded
a clerk place money in a shop-
ping bag.
About one hour later at 2:45
a.m., a black male, medium
build, wearing a dark hooded
sweatshirt with a scarf on his
face entered the Turkey Hill on
Carey Avenue and demanded
the clerk place money in a shop-
ping bag, police said.
Police said no weapons were
shown during the two robber-
ies.

THE CASTLE INN and banquet restaurant, a long-time xture on Route 415 in Dallas

have the building demolished.
WILKES-BARRE A man
serving a state prison sentence
on drug-related charges was
sentenced Monday in a case in
which police say he stabbed a
man last June.
Richard Shaw, 29, with a last
known address of West Union
Street, Nanticoke, was sen-
tenced to nine to 18 months in
prison after pleading guilty to
a charge of simple assault.
County Judge Lesa Gelb
said Shaws sentence will run
concurrently with the two-to-
four-year prison sentence he
now is serving on drug charg-
es.
on June 30, 2012, police were
called to the area of Janisons
Floral on East Main Street in
Nanticoke. When police ar-
rived, they saw blood on the
ground in a parking lot and
broken pieces of wood.
Floyd Bernard had injuries
to his head, face and arm and
was taken to the Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital for treat-
ment. He was treated for lac-
erations to his head, chest and
arm.
Bernard said two people,
Shaw and George Richards,
were angry with him because
Bernard would not allow Rich-
ards to live with him any lon-
ger.
Bernard told police Shaw
called him and threatened
him. Bernard got in his car
near his home and waited in
Janisons parking lot to see if
Shaw was coming.
Shaw pulled up with Rich-
ards in the passenger seat,
Bernard told police.
Bernard said words were
exchanged and Shaw pulled
out a knife. Bernard said he
tried to defend himself, but
Shaw cut him on the chest and
elbow.
Bernard said he then saw
Richards coming from the side
with a wooden object, and that
he was struck in the head, ac-
cording to court papers.
Bernard said he started
bleeding and another man
yelled across the street asking
him if he was all right. Shaw
and Richards then allegedly
left the scene.
Gelb ordered Shaw to have
no contact with Bernard and
to pay any out-of-pocket medi-
cal expenses that were not cov-
ered by Bernards insurance.
Shaw also had been con-
victed by a county jury in Sep-
tember 2012 of drug-related
offenses stemming from a Feb-
ruary 2011 incident.
He was sentenced in No-
vember 2012 to two to four
years in state prison.
Richards, 27, was also
charged in the assault on Ber-
nard, and has agreed to plead
guilty, according to court re-
cords.
With a last known address of
East Main Street, Nanticoke,
he is scheduled to be arraigned
in county court on July 12. Ac-
cording to court papers, at his
preliminary hearing Richards
agreed to plead guilty to a
charge of simple assault.
Charges of simple assault
and harassment were forward-
ed to county court. Prosecu-
tors withdrew a count of ag-
gravated assault.
Man sentenced for June 2012 assault
By SHEENA DELAZIO
sdelazio@timesleader.com
HARRISBURG Pennsyl-
vania is joining about 20 other
states in limiting coverage of
abortions under health care in-
surance policies offered in a fed-
erally run insurance marketplace
starting next year under a sweep-
ing federal law.
The ofce of Gov. Tom Cor-
bett, a Republican who opposes
abortion rights, said he signed
the bill Monday, without offering
any comment. In the past, Cor-
betts ofce has said that it would
not place any greater restrictions
on access to abortion than al-
ready exist.
Andrew Hoover, the legislative
director of the American Civil
Liberties Union chapter in Penn-
sylvania, said he is unaware of
any potential legal challenges to
the law.
But he said the law is insensi-
tive to womens health care needs
because it would bar many poli-
cies from covering an abortion
for a woman whose pregnancy
could inict long-term damage
on her health.
He also said it marks the rst
time that the Pennsylvania gov-
ernment has prohibited a private
insurance company from cov-
ering an abortion for a private
customer who is using private
money to buy the insurance.
Thats new territory for state
law in Pennsylvania, Hoover
said.
Critics of the bill, primar-
ily Democrats, say it expands
restrictions on abortion rights
and discriminates against poor
women. Support in the Repub-
lican-controlled Legislature was
bipartisan and sponsors said it
is consistent with Pennsylvanias
longstanding ban on prohibit-
ing taxpayer support for elective
abortions because the insurance
marketplace will be run with tax-
payer money, even if some poli-
cies sold in it are purchased with
private money.
They also point out that the
2010 federal health care law that
created the insurance market-
places allows the prohibition on
abortion coverage in health in-
surance policies offered through
them.
It would still allow policies
sold through the federally run
marketplace to cover abortions
in cases of rape, incest or when
the mothers life is in danger.
But anyone wanting coverage
for most abortions would need
to purchase that coverage sepa-
rately outside of the marketplace.
Currently, most privately sold
health insurance policies cover
abortions.
A number of other states, in-
cluding Florida and Ohio, restrict
abortion coverage in insurance
plans that will be offered through
the marketplaces, according to
the New York-based Guttmacher
Institute, which tracks restric-
tions on abortion rights.
The new insurance market-
places will allow households and
small businesses to buy a private
health plan, and many will get
help from the government to pay
their premiums. Under the law,
states that cant or wont set up
marketplaces including Penn-
sylvania will have theirs run
by Washington.
Abortion-rights proponents in
the Legislature had tried, with-
out success, to expand the bills
exceptions to include instances
when the health of the mother is
at risk and to allowpolicies in the
marketplace to include abortion
coverage as long as a person used
their own money to buy them.

GREAT
SELECTION
Dems want to modernize,
not privatize, liquor system
By Brad Bumsted
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
HARRISBURG If Senate
Republicans want the chamber
to approve a liquor privatization
bill, they will have to do
it themselves, the Sen-
ate Democratic Leader
said Monday.
Minority Leader Jay
Costa of Forest Hills
made the comments at
an informal news brief-
ing, at which he dis-
cussed the possibility
of Senate Republicans
moving some type of
bill to privatize the li-
quor system.
That bill would
emerge from the Senate Law and
Justice Committee, which has
not provided notice of a meeting
yet under the states open meet-
ings law, he said.
We have 23 votes to modern-
ize not privatize, Costa said.
The Democratic votes, he
said, are for keeping the 600-plus
state stores but improving them
with proposals such as expanded
hours and improved exibility in
pricing.
Republicans, who control the
Senate 27-23, have said they may
vote this week. It takes 26 votes
to pass a bill.
The House in March
passed a broad-based
privatization bill to al-
low grocery stores with
restaurant licenses to
sell wine, as well as
beer, and allow beer
distributors to become
one-stop shops for beer,
wine and liquor.
The 600 state stores
would be phased out
under the bill by Major-
ity Leader Mike Turzai,
R-Bradford Woods. The state-
owned wholesale system would
be sold.
To date, Senate Republicans
have held three hearings on
privatization but have not rallied
behind an alternative plan.
Its a key issue for Republican
Gov. Tom Corbett. The legisla-
ture recesses for summer in two
weeks.
The 600 state
stores would be
phased out under
the bill by Major-
ity Leader Mike
Turzai, R-Bradford
Woods. The state-
owned wholesale
system would be
sold.
Corbett signs anti-abortioncoverage bill
Law would limit coverage for
abortions under federally run in-
surance marketplace next year.
By marC LeVY
Associated Press
The ofce of Gov.
Tom Corbett, a
Republican who
opposes abor-
tion rights, said
he signed the bill
Monday, with-
out offering any
comment. In the
past, Corbetts
ofce has said
that it would not
place any greater
restrictions on
access to abor-
tion than already
exist.

New community center expected to unify Hazleton
HAZLETON Standing in a
basement room of the former
Most Precious Blood Elemen-
tary School, Tampa Bay Rays
Manager Joe Maddon recalled
growing up in Hazleton.
Back when I was a kid, this
was absolutely, without ques-
tion, the best place in the Unit-
ed States to grow up whether
it was riding a bicycle to Cor-
reale Stadium whether it was
to participate at playgrounds. I
was at Altmiller (Playground),
I was an instructor at James
Street (Playground) one time,
Maddon said.
Hes hopeful the community
center he proposed as part of
the Hazleton Integration Proj-
ect a year and a half ago the
Hazleton One Community Cen-
ter, which ofcially opened on
Monday with a grand opening
and ribbon cutting ceremony
will help to unify the com-
munity and return it to being a
great place for kids to grow up.
I really wanted to hopefully
at some point create that same
kind of environment for our
kids. Obviously, the concern to
me at that time was a discon-
nect among the community.
You could feel it, Maddon told
those in attendance.
Hazletons Latino popula-
tion had rapidly grown over the
past decade. Some longtime
residents pointed to Hispanics
especially illegal immigrants
as the cause behind an uptick
in violent crime and rising un-
employment. A local law aimed
at driving out illegal immigrants
gave the city a reputation as be-
ing unwelcoming to any new-
comers.
Maddon said that when he
was in town over the 2010
Christmas holiday, I really felt
there was a push-back going on
and if people did not embrace
our Hispanic brothers and sis-
ters, that this town would die a
slow death. We needed a shot in
the arm, we needed some new
inuence, and we got it. And
now were bringing it all togeth-
er in a very, very positive way.
Bringing the kids together,
bringing themintothis building,
the parents are going to follow,
Maddon said. After a while, all
of that supercial craziness kind
of goes away and, hopefully, we
can set an example, not just for
here in this town, but in outly-
ing areas in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania.
Mayor Joe Yannuzzi acknowl-
edged in a speech he gave before
Maddons that Hazleton a few
years ago gained national atten-
tion for the Illegal Immigration
Relief Act and was character-
ized as an uncompromising and
unwelcoming city.
The HIP project under Joes
leadership has demonstrated
to the nation that Hazleton is a
compromising and welcoming
city, a melting pot of nation-
alities and cultures, Yannuzzi
said.
State Sen. John Yudichak,
D-Plymouth Township, noted
Maddon won two Manager of
the Year awards.
But what he has managed
here in the community of Hazle-
ton bringing together people
of different cultures, different
political perspectives, people
that have different community
interests what he has man-
aged here in the community of
Hazleton is the best managing
Joe Maddons ever done in his
life, Yudichak said.
Yudichak said many in the
community unfortunately get
nostalgic and want to resist
change, and they see change as
perhaps a way to weaken our
community. But in the history
of the United States, change and
the immigration story has al-
ways strengthened our nation.
Bob Curry, president of the
board of the Hazleton Integra-
tion Project, thanked all those
who worked hard to make the
center a reality.
The hard work we have
done to this point has obviously
begun to pay off. But the even
harder work of making a differ-
ence in the day-to-day lives of
our citizens is just beginning.
Today, I pledge to you on behalf
of the entire HIP board that we
will do everything in our power
to make the most positive im-
pact that we can in this commu-
nity, Curry said.
Curry introduced Eugenio
Sosa as the executive director of
the center, chosen from among
about 30 candidates who ap-
plied.
Sosa called Monday a day of
great joy and called the center
a dream come true. He noted
the Hazleton Area School Dis-
trict will provide free lunches
to children at the center during
the summer Monday through
Friday and Hazleton Public
Transit will make seven stops
throughout the day at the center
every day.
Curry noted that, so far, 150
children have registered for
summer programs at the center.

and daughter-in-law at his side.
Born on Sept. 26, 1920, in
Nanticoke, he was a son of the

Victory Medal.
He was honorably discharged
on March 5, 1946, attaining the

EDITORIAL
The Social Security lie
has only hurt citizens
I
n an effort to reduce the federal decit,
President Obama has proposed cutting
Social Security cost-of-living adjustments
by tying it to the Chained CPI (Consumer
Price Index) in place of the existing CPI
index.
According to a recent article in Forbes
magazine, this index is an alternative to
the established CPI which utilizes price
comparisons of a broad range of consum-
er goods over an extended time. The CPI
index includes the equivalent rental cost
of existing housing prices and college
tuitions along with apparel, transporta-
tion (cars) and utilities.
Housing prices and tuition skew the
price adjustment model higher than
necessary since a retired couple in most
cases have paid off their house and are
no longer burdened with college tuitions.
Even more relevant is the fact that seniors
are capable of making product choices
and lifestyle adjustments that will t
more in line with their reduced income
level.
These are some of the underlying fac-
tors that are incorporated in the revised
Chained CPI model. Seniors will be
receiving smaller increases in their Social
Security checks, but not life-threatening
benet reductions. The majority of
seniors still will enjoy a comfortable life
with dignity. In any event, the proposal
represents a miniscule reduction in the
ination adjustment, not a reduction in
the benet level. This measure is expect-
ed to reduce the national debt by as much
as $230 billion.
This appears to be a rational proposal
to start addressing a serious actuarial
crisis in Social Security, which if left
unchecked certainly will bankrupt the
system and cause real and tragic hardship
on future retirees.
Why has this modest proposal caused
such an emotional restorm? I believe
the answer is that the Social Security
system has been misrepresented to the
American people from the beginning.
The government has conveniently and
cynically misled the people by compar-
ing their Social Security contributions
as an investment, similar to an annuity
purchased from an insurance company
that guarantees future monthly payments
upon retirement. However, an insurance
company must remain actuarially sound
by investing the premiums paid to it and
earn an investment return that will en-
able it to fund its obligations to clients.
The hard truth is that there is no guar-
anty that future payments will be made
by the government. Should the govern-
ment become scally unable to meet its
obligations to the citizens, it will default,
or most likely drastically reduce benets.
The liberal establishment has consis-
tently refused reform of Social Security or
the implementation of alternative private
pension schemes as a betrayal to seniors.
President Roosevelt cynically under-
stood that funding Social Security with
tax dollars would create an entitlement
mentality (the I am only getting back
what I put in mantra) that would make it
politically impossible to reverse or reform
the program. He was proven correct. It
could have been responsibly adjusted
decades ago with minimal impact on citi-
zens and would have resulted in a solvent
program, but the third rail of American
politics mentality prevailed.
The American people were performed
a disservice by a government that con-
stantly kicked the can down the road for
meaningful reform because of its political
cowardice (Democrats and Republicans)
and presented the social security system
as a retirement fund (plan) as opposed
to a minimal support fund to prevent
destitution for which it was originally
designed.
While many people genuinely need
this income support to live, many others
who could have put more money away for
retirement decided to spend it now and
have Social Security cover their needs.
Senior citizens are not greedy. Rather
we are all victims of our elected repre-
sentatives who preferred to perpetuate
the lie that Social Security was a solvent
program for their political survival rather
than speak the truth to the American
people.

Writer outlines dangers of
exhaust from motorcycles
I
amwriting to you as a concerned citizen.
I have noticed an alarming increase in il-
legal aftermarket exhausts on all types of
vehicles, particularly on motorcycles, and
there are many ramications and dangers.
My friends who compete off road told
me that these exhausts were never meant
to be ridden on city streets, but because
the police do not enforce the laws, mo-
torcycle owners think they are operating
within the law. Pennsylvania state statute
172.052 states the motorcycle must be
equipped with a mufer or effective
noise-suppressing system in good work-
ing order and in constant operation, and;
may not be equipped with a cutout, by-
pass or similar device and a mufer may
not show signs of being tampered.
Motorcycle lobbies state loud pipes
save lives but this has been debunked
many times. Most accidents happen with
motorcycles running into other vehicles
and structures according to the National
Transportation Association.
There is also a Public Nuisance law
in the state of Pennsylvania.
The noise act of 1972 allows a citizen
to sue this or her local government if the
laws are not upheld. And EPA law CFR
40-205 states that obvious excessive and
unusual noise is probable cause for stop-
ping and ticketing loud motorcycles. This
has been upheld by the courts in State V
Lara, and Everett V. OBrien. The state
statutes will always be upheld in court by
anyone with extensive legal knowledge.
The University of Florida which did the
rst scientic study on decibel readings
with regards to motorcycles found that
out of 33 motorcycles they tested almost
half, were more than 100 decibels. And,
several even exceeded that level and
came in at 119 decibels.
This is signicant because the World
Health Organization, OSHA, the Mayo
Clinic state that hearing loss occurs with
only a 15 minute exposure to noise over
100 decibels. They go on to state that
noise levels over 110 will cause irrepa-
rable damage to your hearing capabilities
and they do not currently have a way to
repair this problem.
Children are the most vulnerable. The
World Health Organization states the fol-
lowing health risks occur at high levels of
decibels: learning impairment, quality of
life, air and noise pollution, fatigue, hear-
ing loss, hypertension, ischemic heart dis-
ease, sleep disturbance, vasoconstriction,
tinnitus, changes in the immune system
and birth defects to the unborn.
I encourage the public to voice its
concerns with legislators and local
government about this matter. These
exhausts were never illegal but because of
the apathy of the police departments the
motorcycle owners have felt it is within
legal limits and more and more of them
are having these exhausts put on their
motorcycles.
I do not dislike all vehicles. I have
friends who compete off road and have
extensive collections of antique motor-
cycles and they all say the same thing to
me. They refer to the individuals who put
these illegal exhausts on their motor-
cycles as the poster children of anti-noise
and anti-motorcycle legislation. They
have no place on the residential streets. I
also do have anything against the chari-
ties that sponsor these rides because they
are for very worthy causes.
But I do believe that each and every-
one of us has the obligation to be a good
neighbor and shouldnt use the cause of a
charity to allow others to break the laws
and harm the general public.

OUR OPINION: PRESERVATION
MALLARD FILLMORE DOONESBURY
Police car cameras
can help everyone
C
AMERAS HAVE be-
come so common in
public places that mo-
torists might assume
they are headed straight to vid-
eo any time police make a traf-
c stop. Thats not always true,
but perhaps it should be. A video
record of what took place could
be good for the motorist, as well
as the ofcer, to combat false ac-
cusations.
Thats why a bill that would
make video-recording devices
standard equipment for all mu-
nicipal police patrol cars in
New Jersey makes sense. The
legislation, sponsored by As-
semblyman Paul Moriarty (D.,
Gloucester), would require that
any police vehicles used primar-
ily for trafc stops be equipped
with a mobile video-recording
system.
Moriarty has rsthand expe-
rience that proves the value of
police-car cameras. In July, he
was charged with drunken driv-
ing and other offenses that alleg-
edly occurred during an encoun-
ter with a Washington Township
police ofcer who had pulled
him over. Moriarty insisted at
the time that he had not had
anything to drink that day. He
was eventually vindicated, but
the case could have had a very
different outcome without cru-
cial footage from a camera that
was mounted in the arresting of-
cers car.
The ubiquity of cameras in
this country, including those
found in cellphones, has many
Americans rightly concerned
about unjustied intrusions
into their private lives. But from
Moriaritys wrongful arrest to
the electronic surveillance that
revealed the Boston Marathon
bombers, there is strong evi-
dence that, while there should
be limits, having cameras in the
right place can benet the pub-
lic.

Value history,
save the station
Y
ES, THE HOTEL Ster-
ling debacle leaves a
very sour taste in the
mouth when speaking
of historic preservation by lo-
cal government. But its essen-
tial the public does not let that
colossal failure (more than $6
million spent without clear ac-
counting and its still being torn
down) lead to the loss of other
architectural and historic jewels.
Quite the contrary, the Ster-
lings demise should
spur greater public ef-
fort to spare two other
Wilkes-Barre land-
marks now threatened:
The Irem Temple on
Franklin Street and the
former train station
at the corner of Mar-
ket Street and Wilkes-
Barre Boulevard.
In fact, while the
Sterling had great his-
torical and sentimental
value with an eloquent
interior that should
have been saved, it is, externally,
underwhelming when compared
to the temple and the station,
both of which add considerable
visual ourish to the city.
Of the two, the station seems
boththe most threatened, thanks
to ease of access by thoughtless
thugs stealing metal for sale as
scrap, and cheapest to save. As
Hotelier Gus Genetti pointed
out in a Times Leader story on
page 1A Saturday, at the very
least it should be securely moth-
balled to prevent any further
deterioration or destruction un-
til clear development plans and
funding are found.
The stations current owner,
the Luzerne County Redevelop-
ment Authority, is seeking pri-
vate developers, but cant even
muster enough money for an
updated commercial appraisal of
the building and a nearby strip
mall. And as if to echo the Ster-
ling tragedy, the authority still
owes the county $1.8 million
used to buy up nearby rail track
more than a decade ago.
It is time for busi-
nesses and individual
to rise to the occasion.
Genettis proposal
that municipal ofcials
band together and
seek funding via the
states casino revenue
program seems one
sensible and doable
plan.
There are other
precedents for a suc-
cessful preservation
and restoration. Think
Al Boscov and the F.M. Kirby
Center in Wilkes-Barre, or the
private/public partnership that
saved the former Hazleton Area
High School (The Castle) and
converted the auditorium into
the Wiltsie Center for perform-
ing arts.
Smaller municipalities have
successfully saved similar struc-
tures Jim Thorpe and Tam-
aqua, for example. Surely such
a project is not beyond the will
and skill of our community.
If we cannot preserve such
a prominent and picturesque
piece of our past, what does that
say of our future?
... genettis pro-
posal that mu-
nicipal ofcials
band together
and seek funding
via the states
casino revenue
program seems
one sensible and
doable plan.

Summary: Showers and thunderstorms will stretch from northern Texas to
the Atlantic coast today. Showers will begin push inland over the Northwest.
Thunderstorms will dot Florida and the Rockies.
Unless minimum manning require-
ments are relaxed in the next union
agreement, county ofcials have said
they cannot impose further staff cuts.
The need to meet union-required
stafng levels on each shift and hon-
or vacation and sick-time allotments
again has caused the prison to spend
more than budgeted on overtime.
Overtime ended up costing $579,858
last year, exceeding the budgeted
$400,422.
The countys 2013 budget optimisti-
cally allocated $400,000 for overtime,
and $315,400, or 79 percent, was spent
as of May 30.
Prison overtime expenses have uc-
tuated in recent years, ranging from
$872,000 in 2007 to a low of $400,422
in 2010.
Inmate decline
The average daily inmate population
at the main Water Street prison and
nearby minimal offenders unit ranged
monthly from 592 to 657 this year to
date, hovering around 602 this month.
Its a signicant drop from 2006,
when the county had 811 inmates and
was forced to pay other counties to
house some of them due to overcrowd-
ing.
County ofcials have attributed the
population decrease to faster inmate
processing and increased use of alter-
native sentencing programs, includ-
ing a day reporting center set up three
years ago to keep nonviolent offenders
out of prison.
The county allocates more than $1
million for day reporting, but prison of-
cials have said the daily cost is $30.58
per offender compared to $94 for pris-
on lodging.
The monthly average number of of-
fenders in the day reporting program
ranged from 73 to 85 this year to date,
Lawtons report shows.
These offenders served a combined
10,915 days in the day reporting pro-
gram so far this year, which saved
$692,229 in prison lodging.
Day reporting center participants re-
main on home connement and must
complete customized treatment plans.
New prison
The inmate population reduction
and countys debt load squelched past
discussion about building a new $100
million-plus, 1,500-bed prison.
But Lawton said Monday he still
wants to determine if efciency sav-
ings from a new, smaller prison would
offset the construction costs.
J. Allen Nesbitt, the countys new
correctional services division head, is
studying options, Lawton said.
We wont move to another level un-
til we have a sense of whether or not
this makes nancial sense on a very
fundamental basis, Lawton said of
new construction.
The original prison was completed
in 1870 at a cost of $302,537, and a $12
million expansion and renovation was
completed in 1987, his report said.
about 20 percent since the last
recession that began more than
four years ago. The largest sin-
gle reduction was a $225,000
cut in state funding in 2009.
Fundraising and endowment
sources account for about 30
percent of the annual budget,
and other events include a year-
ly fund drive, a downtown roof-
top gala and golf tournament,
Miller said. Among fundraising
efforts, the book sale, now in its
37th year, is the Friends signa-
ture contribution to the cause.

quipped ducking her head

where much of the work gets
done amid stacks of boxes orga-
nized by genre. As the sale pro-
gresses, volunteers ascend from
the cellar with carts of books to
replenish the stock.
One day, we had a 75-year-
old man down here with a heart
condition and two old ladies
and Im one of them, Buzinkai
laughed. We always need more
volunteers.
Its a huge effort for a small
number of people, Miller add-
ed.
And its an effort that begins
anew each year. When the sale
ends, any remaining books are
donated to the Salvation Army,
Buzinkai said. Volunteers tried
storing leftover books one year,
but new donations one thing
which never seems to be in

congressional elections, it nec-
essarily displaces some element
of a legal regime erected by
the states, Justice Antonin Sca-
lia wrote for the majority.
The decision is a blow to of-
cials in Alabama, Kansas, Geor-
gia and Texas, who had urged
the Supreme Court to let Ari-
zonas law stand.
The courts decision also
comes about one year after a dif-
ferent lineup of justices struck
down separate Arizona provi-
sions meant to crack down on
immigrants in the country il-
legally. In the earlier case, the
courts majority ruled that fed-
eral law pre-empted parts of
an Arizona law requiring that
immigrants carry documents
showing proof of legal U.S. resi-
dency.
The staunchly conservative
Scalia dissented from last years
Arizona decision, but on Mon-
day he led a majority that in-
cluded one fellow conservative,
Chief Justice John Roberts Jr.,
as well as the members of the
courts liberal wing.
Justices Clarence Thomas
and Samuel Alito dissented.
Todays decision is a victory
for all Americans, declared
Barbara Arnwine, president and
executive director of the Law-
yers Committee for Civil Rights
Under Law. The court has reaf-
rmed the essential American
right to register to vote for fed-
eral election without the bur-
dens of state voter suppression
measures.
Under the National Voter
Registration Act of 1993, some-
times known as the Motor Voter
Act, states are required to ac-
cept and use a standard federal
form when registering voters
by mail or through motor ve-
hicle departments. Passed over
Republican opposition, the law
was intended to make it easier
for potential voters to register.
The federal form includes a
simple attestation that one is a
citizen and eligible to vote.
In 2004, though, Arizona vot-
ers approved Proposition 200,
which required that registrants
provide evidence of U.S. citi-
zenship. The proof could be a
passport, a birth certicate or
tribal identication, among
other documents. The state law
mandated that Arizona ofcials
reject the registration applica-
tion of anyone who submitted
the federal form but omitted the
proof of citizenship.
State ofcials said the docu-
mentary proof was necessary
to protect against fraudulent
registrations provided by activ-
ist groups, including the Asso-
ciation of Community Organiza-
tions for Reform Now, known as
ACORN.
On one particular occasion
we had gotten a group (of ap-
plicants) in and there were 24
that said, I am not a citizen,
the Maricopa County recorder
testied at one point, according
to Arizonas legal brief.
But the American Civil Liber-
ties Union noted Monday that
in Arizona, 90 percent of the
over 31,000 U.S. citizens whose
voter registration applications
were denied were actually born
in the United States.
the concrete company he once helped
his parents clean.
I know every corner of this ofce,
this building, said Tume, 21. I used
to see other people do the job that Im
doing now. And Im sitting here now
working.
Nearly 300,000 young adults pre-
viously living illegally in the United
States have been granted permission
to stay and work through the program,
one of the most signicant shifts in
immigration policy in recent decades.
About 200,000 more have submitted
applications.
For those immigrants, the last year
has been a sort of delayed coming of
age: Leaning how to drive, getting a li-
cense and landing a rst job thats not
off the books.
Now I feel like Im actually a mem-
ber of the community like everyone
else, said Frida Ulloa, a 24-year-old
student at Florida International Uni-
versity, who came to the U.S. fromPeru
as a teenager to see her ill father and
never went back.
The Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals allows immigrants brought to
the U.S. illegally as children to obtain
work permits for two years, which then
are eligible for renewal. To qualify, they
must show that they came to America
before their 16th birthday, and were
30 years old or younger when the pol-
icy was announced on June 15, 2012.
They must also have lived in the U.S.
continuously since 2007, and either be
in school, have graduated from high
school or served in the military. And
they cant have a serious criminal re-
cord or pose a threat to public safety or
national security.
With a work permit and Social Se-
curity number, they can drive in most
states, open a bank account and, in
some states, pay in-state college tu-
ition.
The life that I live nowis easier than
it was before, said Tume, who used
to take a 45-minute bus ride to get to
work. Nowhe drives and arrives within
15 minutes.
The policy change came after years
of advocacy by students and lawmak-
ers in support of the so-called DREAM
Act, which would have provided a path
to citizenship for thousands of young
immigrants in the country illegally. Ef-
forts to pass it in Congress have repeat-
edly failed.
Lawmakers are currently debating
a comprehensive immigration reform
that would chart a 13-year road to citi-
zenship for the estimated 11 million
immigrants in the country illegally.
The program does not lead to resi-
dency or citizenship, but it also spares
these immigrants from the threat of de-
portation.
When Obama announced it last year,
critics accused him of pandering to
Latino voters a few months before the
presidential election.
I think that deferred action gave
us the opportunity to not be scared,
Ulloa said.
started by former city admin-
istrator J.J. Murphy. The play-
ground was packed with about
25 to 30 kids Monday morning.
Drew McLaughlin, the citys
municipal affairs manager, said
some technical issues remain
at the splash pad, which was
installed in 2011, but never re-
ally operated until the summer
of 2012.
McLaughlin and Butch Frati,
director of operations, said the
city has hired Quad 3 Group,
an engineering and architec-
tural rm on North Washington
Street, to provide a plan to get
the splash pad working prop-
erly.
McLaughlin said all costs
estimated to be around $10,000
will be paid through an insur-
ance claim.
Our goal is to get the splash
pad operational as soon as pos-
sible, he said. Since it was in-
stalled, we have had off-and-on
issues, but we are condent that
will all be behind us soon.
McLaughlin said the splash
pad was a new venture for the
city and problems with the con-
tractor who installed it have
resulted in a continuing saga of
operational issues.
We tried something new and
we still feel it will be good for
the city, he said. We are disap-
pointed as well. We need good
quality features at our parks to
draw people in.
The original cost of the splash
pad was $145,439, and when
it was installed, the concrete
didnt cure properly and had
to be replaced, Frati said. Last
summer Frati said problems
were encountered with the sys-
tems chlorine system. He said
water pressure had been low in
the fountains.
Weve had issues with the
contractor from the beginning,
and were still holding back pay-
ment, Frati said.
Ken Fox, who walked from
Lloyds Lane near Stanton
Lanes with his three children to
Coal Street Park, said they were
disappointed the pad was not
working.
It took is about 40 minutes
to walk here, Fox said. We
were told the splash pad wont
be working for a while. This
looks like more money wasted
by the city.
Coal Street Park has under-
gone a $14 million face lift in re-
cent years. The splash pad is an
area for water play that has no
standing water and doesnt re-
quire a lifeguard or supervision.

Miami and LeBron James have their backs against the wall
tonight in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. Trailing San Antonio 3-2 in
the series, the Heat need to win two straight at home to defend
their title.

werent supposed to be in this situa-
tion. Not now, anyway.
Coming home from Texas with
their season on the line in 2011 was
one thing. They were at the end of
their first year together LeBron
James, Dwyane Wade and Chris
Bosh still trying to figure it all out
and clearly a long way from it.
But this season they were the
NBAs best team, one that lost three
games in three months and made
losing three times in one series look
unlikely, if not downright unimagi-
nable.
The San Antonio Spurs can finish
Miami off Tuesday night in Game 6
of the NBA Finals, reaffirming them-
selves as one of the leagues greatest
franchises.
If so, the Heats Big Three once
again go from celebrated to devas-
tated.
Were going to see if were a bet-
ter team than we were our first year
together, James said.
The Spurs took a 3-2 lead with
their 114-104 victory Sunday night.
Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu
Ginobili were all brilliant again, and
Danny Green added to what could
become one of the most out-of-no-
where finals MVP campaigns ever.
One more victory makes the Spurs
5-0 in the NBA Finals, keeping pace
with Michael Jordans 6-0 Chicago
Bulls as the only teams to make it
here multiple times and never lose.
We understand Game 6 is huge,
Parker said. Obviously, you want
to finish in the first opportunity you
get. We understand that Miami is go-
ing to come out with a lot more en-
ergy, and theyre going to play better
at home. Theyre going to shoot the
ball better. Their crowd is going to
be behind them.
None of that mattered two years
ago.

shaken after dropping two straight

Joe Maddon chats with 9 year-old Hunter Nye while signing a ball for him at the Hazleton One Community center grand opening
celebration. The project started 3 years ago with help from the Hazleton Immigration Project.
HAZLETON Looking out
at a room filled with kids wear-
ing baseball uniforms and par-
ents forming a large crowd of
diversity, it didnt take Tampa
Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon
more than a split-second to make
his decision.
His Hazleton Intergration
Project that once seemed such
a struggle has turned into a
smashing success.
No doubt, Maddon said. Its
already working.
Barely 18 months after toss-
ing around the idea, town native
Maddon returned to Hazleton
for a ribbon cutting ceremony
Monday at the new Hazleton
One Community Center, which
opens its doors to Hazleton chil-
dren today.
Its slightly surreal for me,
personally, Maddon said. For
me, its an incredible moment.
One he certainly wouldnt
miss.
Maddon spent Tampa Bays off
day helping to open a center he
hopes will ease the towns high-
ly-publicized tensions between
recent immigrants and long-time
residents before the fourth-place
Rays try to make up ground in
a series against the American
League East-leading Boston Red
Sox tonight.
We had planned this for
awhile, said Maddon, whose

MOOSIC With the torrid
pace Scranton/Wilkes-Barre was
on during doubleheaders this
season, the success wasnt going
to last forever.
After a horrid start to Mon-
days twinbill, the RailRiders
managed to earn a split with
Rochester at PNC Field, losing
the opener 10-1 before rebound-
ing to take the nightcap 5-3.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ran its
record to 11-3 in doubleheaders
this season and has a day/night
contest on Saturday against Nor-
folk.
The RailRiders offense, which
has struggled at times this sea-
son, got a jolt from Randy Ruiz,
who was signed out of the Mexi-
can League prior to the twinbill
after hitting .370 with 6 home
runs and 20 RBI in 37 games.
Ruiz, who played in the Yan-
kees organization in the 2006
season when he slugged 26 long-
balls for Trenton, got a good
start to his RailRiders season.
He went 4-for-6 over the two
games and added much-needed
protection for cleanup hitter Dan
Johnson, who went 3-for-5 on the
day.
Graham Stoneburner, who
just pitched on Friday in relief
against Lehigh Valley, had one
of the best outings hes had for
the RailRiders this season, going
four innings in the second game
allowing just two hits and one
run. He got a boost from catch-
er Bobby Wilson, who drilled a
three-run home run in the bot-
tom of the second for a 3-0 lead.

By JIMMY GOLEN

BOSTON Tuukka Rask
shut out the Chicago Black-
hawks in Game 3 of the Stanley
Cup finals on Monday night and
got enough help fromthe Bruins
offense to do it without another
exhausting overtime.
After playing four extra peri-
ods in the first
two games, the
Bruins made an
early night of
it with second-
period goals by
Daniel Paille
and Patrice
Bergeron to win
2-0 and take a
2-1 lead in the
Stanley Cup fi-
nals.
Rask stopped
28 shots for his
third shutout of
the 2013 play-
offs.
Corey Craw-
ford made 33 saves for the Black-
hawks.
Game 4 is Wednesday night
in Boston before the matchup
of Original Six teams returns to
Chicago for a fifth game. The
teams split the first two games
there, with the Blackhawks win-
ning Game 1 in triple-overtime
and the Bruins stealing home-ice
advantage on Pailles goal in the
first OT of the second game.
But this time the intrigue
came before the opening faceoff
instead of after the end of regula-

Top prospect Zack Wheeler ready for Mets debut
By PAUL NEWBERRY
AP Sports Writer
ATLANTA Now that hes
about to make his highly antici-
pated debut with the New York
Mets, Zack Wheeler will rely on
some advice he got from a minor
league coach.
Dont look up.
I know its going to be a big
moment in my life, Wheeler
said Monday, the day before
he takes the mound against
the first-place Atlanta Braves.
Theres probably going to be
some nerves.
The 23-year-old right-hander
is one of baseballs top pitch-
ing prospects and a reason for
hope in what is turning out to
be another dismal season for
the Mets. Heightening the an-
ticipation, hell be making his
first start in the big leagues not
far from where he grew up in
the northwest Atlanta suburbs,
meaning plenty of family and
friends will be in the stands at
Turner Field.
Wheeler said hell try to follow
a tip he got a couple of years ago
from his pitching coach in Class
A, former big leaguer Steve
Kline, who said all the sights and
sounds of a big league park can
be a bit overwhelming the first
time out.
He said, Whatever you do,
dont look up, Wheeler said. I
think he threw up off the back of
the mound his first game. Ill al-
ways remember that advice.
The youngster will be joining
a rotation that already includes
24-year-old Matt Harvey, who
is having a brilliant year (5-1,
2.04 ERA, 102 strikeouts in 97
innings) in his first full major
league season. And, in an inter-
esting twist, Harvey will pitch
the opener of a day-night double-
header before Wheeler goes in
the second game.
For the Mets, its a chance to
show their frustrated fans what
they hope will be the centerpiec-
es of a brighter future.
I dont think Im a savior at
all, Wheeler said. Weve got
some great arms here, some
great players. We might not be
doing too well right now, but I
know the talent of these guys.
Hopefully well turn it around
soon. Im just trying to come up
here and help the team any way
I can.
Wheeler arrived in Atlanta on
Sunday and got a chance to hang
out with family and three of his
friends at the suburban Atlanta
home he shares with one of his
brothers.
It was a good night, just talk-
ing and hanging out and telling
some stories, Wheeler said.
We had a good time.
Now, its time to get down to
business. His first start comes
against a power-laden Braves
team that holds the biggest lead
of any division leader, a team he
remembers following as a kid
when they had pitchers such as
Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and
John Smoltz though Wheeler
downplayed his allegiance to the
team hell be facing.
I wasnt a huge baseball fan,
Wheeler said. I liked watch-
ing basketball a little bit better.
But how could I not watch the
Braves growing up? My pop was
always watching them. They
were always good. But Im not
a huge Braves fan like everyone
thinks I am.
Wheeler was the sixth overall
draft pick by the San Francisco
Giants in 2009 after being select-
ed as Georgias top prep player
his last two years at East Pauld-
ing High School. He was dealt to
the Mets in 2011 for outfielder
Carlos Beltran and started this
season at Triple-A Las Vegas,
where he got off to a slow start
but pitched much better in re-
cent weeks. He was 4-2 with a
3.93 ERA for the Pacific Coast
League team.
The hard-throwing Wheeler
struck out 73 in 68 2-3 innings,
but 27 walks were a bit of a con-
cern.
Hell be looking to get more
pitches over the plate in the big
leagues.
I walked a lot of guys in the
minors, Wheeler said. Thats
always been a problemwith me.

Browns hit in 9th
lifts Phils over Nats
The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA Domonic
Brown hit an RBI single with
two outs in the bottom of the
ninth inning and the Philadel-
phia Phillies beat the Washing-
ton Nationals 5-4 on Monday
night.
The Nationals tied it at 4
when Chad Tracy hit a solo
homer with two outs in the
ninth off closer Jonathan
Papelbon (1-0). It was the first
blown save for Papelbon, who
had converted his previous 13
chances.
Ben Revere led off the Phil-
lies ninth with a single against
Fernando Abad (0-2). Revere
was running on Jimmy Rol-
lins one-out single and easily
reached third base.
Abad struck out pinch-hitter
Steven Lerud for the second out
before Brown fisted the winning
hit to center. Papelbon was the
first player to greet Brown in
celebration as he was rounding
first base.
Papelbon easily retired the
first two batters in the ninth
and had Tracy in an 0-2 hole.
But Tracy, who pinch-hit in the
seventh and stayed in the game,
hit his third home run, barely
clearing the wall just inside the
foul pole in right.
Ryan Howard went 3 for 3
with a homer and two RBIs and
Delmon Young had a two-run
double for the Phillies, who re-
turned home after losing seven
games on a 10-game road trip.
John Lannan, a former main-
stay in the Nationals rotation,
made his first start since April
17 after a nearly two-month
stint on the disabled list with a
strained tendon in his left knee.
He allowed six hits and two
runs in five innings, striking out
four and walking one in his first
start against his former club.
Steve Lombardozzi had two
hits, including an RBI double,
for the Nationals, who have lost
three of four.
Howard led off the second
with a solo shot to tie it at 1. It
was the eighth homer of the sea-
son for Howard, who had been
mired in a power slump.
The slugger entered with just
one homer since May 7, but
launched Dan Harens offering
into the second deck deep in
right field.
Haren continued his recent
struggles and remained winless
in his last seven starts (0-5, 6.22
ERA) since May 9. Haren is 0-3
with a 5.82 ERA in six career
starts against Philadelphia.
Reds 4, Pirates 1
CINCINNATI Zack Cozart
and Todd Frazier hit upper-deck
homers off left-hander Francisco
Liriano, and the Cincinnati
Reds moved a season-high 15
games over .500 by beating the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Reds hit four solo homers
in all, extending their best start
since 1995, the last time they
won a playoff series.
Cozart connected in the
fourth and Frazier in the sixth
off Liriano (5-3), who hadnt
allowed a homer in his seven
previous starts. He opened the
season on the disabled list,
recovering from a broken right
arm last December.
Joey Votto and Jay Bruce con-
nected in the eighth off Bryan
Morris.
Mike Leake (7-3) extended
the best stretch of his four-year
career, giving up six hits
including Russell Martins RBI
double in seven innings.
Tigers 5, Orioles 1
DETROIT Max Scherzer
improved to 10-0 and struck out
10, Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run
homer and the Detroit Tigers
beat the Baltimore Orioles.
Scherzer became the first
pitcher to begin a season 10-0
with all decisions coming in
starts since Roger Clemens
went 11-0 for Toronto in 1997,
according to STATS. Scherzer
is the second pitcher in Detroit
history to start this strong
since 1909 when George Mullin
was 11-0 with one victory as a
reliever, the Elias Sports Bureau
said in information provided by
the Tigers.
Blue Jays 2, Rockies 0
TORONTO Maicer Izturis
hit a two-run single in the
eighth inning and the To-
ronto Blue Jays won their sixth
consecutive game, beating the
Colorado Rockies behind Josh
Johnson and two relievers.
Johnson struck out a season-
high 10 over 7 1-3 innings but
remained winless in seven starts
with Toronto, having received
only 13 runs of support. Brett
Cecil (3-0) got two outs for
the victory and Casey Janssen
finished for his 14th save in 15
chances.
Izturis had two of Torontos
three hits as the Blue Jays won
six straight for the first time
since May 10-16, 2011.
Johnson, who allowed five
hits and walked two, lowered
his ERA from 5.40 to 4.38.
Royals 2, Indians 1
CLEVELAND Pinch-runner
Elliot Johnson scored from third
base on a wild pitch by reliever
Matt Albers in the ninth inning,
giving the Kansas City Royals a
win over the Cleveland Indians.
Johnson sprinted home and
slid in safely after Albers pitch
got under catcher Carlos San-
tana and went all the way to the
backstop.
The Royals have won 11 of
13 and in getting to .500 for the
first time since May 21 moved
past Cleveland into second place
in the AL Central.

GM Cashman:
Leaning to
putting Teixeira
on disabled list
NEW YORK Slumping Yan-
kees first baseman Mark Teixeira
could be sidelined a while longer
because of his ailing right wrist.
I havent done anything, but
Im leaning toward the disabled
list, New York general manager
Brian Cashman said Monday on
a conference call.
Teixeira missed the first 53
games of the season because of
a wrist injury. The All-Star slug-
ger is hitting just .151 with three
home runs and 12 RBIs in 53 at-
bats.
The 33-year-old Teixeira left
the team during its recent West
Coast trip, returned to New York
and got a cortisone shot Sunday.
Cashman said Teixeira probably
wouldnt be able to play for at
least a week.
Teixeira and the Yankees
talked before the season about
surgery, but decided against it.
Cashman said he had no re-
grets about trying to heal the
injury without an operation.
Is it something thats going to
force himto have surgery? I cant
rule any of that out, Cashman
said.
Yankees hitting coach Kevin
Long recently said the switch-
hitting Teixeira seemed to be
having more trouble swinging
left-handed. Teixeira is just 3 for
35 (.086) as a lefty.
Cashman said he wasnt mad
at Long for that public com-
ment. But Cashman sounded a
bit miffed, saying Long hadnt
reported that problem to the
medical staff or front office.
The Yankees already have a
crowded disabled list that in-
cludes infielders Derek Jeter,
Alex Rodriguez, Kevin Youkilis
and Eduardo Nunez, outfielder
Curtis Granderson, catcher Fran-
cisco Cervelli and pitcher Mi-
chael Pineda.
Cashman said Youkilis is be-
ing examined by a back special-
ist. The former star is hitting
.219 with two homers and eight
RBIs in 105 at-bats.
Cashman said hes hoping
Youkilis condition improves,
but back issues usually dont
get better.
Several of the rehabilitating
Yankees worked out Monday at
the teams spring training com-
plex in Tampa, Fla.
Rodriguez faced a minor
league right-hander in his first
live batting practice session. He
saw 30 pitches, broken into two
rounds, and put a half-dozen
balls into play.
Rodriguez also fielded ground-
ers at third base and made
throws to first and second, and
ran sprints in the outfield.
Jeter took batting practice for
the first time in the indoor cage.
Nunez and Cervelli played long
toss.
Granderson also long tossed
and said he would be in New
York on Thursday to have his
broken knuckle examined.
NOTES: The Yankees, who
have lost five of six, were off
Monday. They open a two-game
series Tuesday night against the
Los Angeles Dodgers in their
first visit to the Bronx since
clinching the 1981 World Series.

blitzed early in Game 6. They
never recovered, Bosh inconsol-
able as he made his way back to
the locker room afterward while
the Mavericks celebrated at cen-
ter court.
James had to endure the criti-
cisms that came with not getting
it done in the finals, a story line
that was put to rest last year but
will be back again if the Heat
dont manage to put together
consecutive victories.
We challenge ourselves to see
if were a better team than we
were, Wade said. Same posi-
tion no matter how we got to it.
The Heat would also host
Game 7 on Thursday. Theyre
trying to join the 1988 and 2010
Los Angeles Lakers and 1994
Houston Rockets as the only
teams to rally from 3-2 down by
winning the final two on their
home floor since the NBA Finals
went to a 2-3-2 format in 1985.
Of course, the Heat who
won 27 in a row during the sec-
ond-longest winning streak in
league history havent put to-
gether consecutive victories now
in close to a month.
Were in a position where its
a must-win and everything that
weve done all year comes to this
point, and we have to win, Heat
guard Ray Allen said. Weve
found ourselves in so many situa-
tions this year, and weve thrived
in tough moments because this
is a tough team. We will be ready
for Game 6.
So will the Spurs, and the Heat
know it.
Im sure this team, theyve
been here before many times.
They understand winning that
last game is one of the hardest
things youre going to do. And
we understand it as well, Wade
said.
But you know what? Its the
game; weve got to play it. I like
our chances, just like they like
their chances, in this series and
in Game 6. Well see. Well see
which team, which style is going
to prevail.
Their four titles have made the
Spurs respected but never be-
loved. Their first, in 1999, came
following a 50-game lockout sea-
son, and they certainly werent
the team to help the NBA regain
its jilted fan base.
Victories in 2003 over NewJer-
sey, 2005 over Detroit and 2007
over James Cleveland Cavaliers
were all low-rated, lukewarm-in-
terest series in which the Spurs
were supposed to win and did,
just not in a way that erased the
idea that they had boring players
with a boring brand of basket-
ball.
Win this one, though, and
they will surely get their due.
They would be knocking off the
leagues winningest team and
the games best player, with Dun-
can at 37 and Ginobili soon to
be 36, behind a more wide-open
offense that has helped Green
break Allens finals record for
3-pointers.
Not that theyre thinking
about that, or anything else be-
yond Game 6 at this point.
Well reflect back and let it hit
us when its over. We still have a
lot more work to do. Theres still
some business to be done. We
have to carry it out and finish it,
said Green, who was cut previ-
ously by the Cavaliers and Spurs
and now has made 25 3-pointers
in the first five games.
It looked as though the game
was finally passing by the Spurs
last year, when the young Okla-
homa City Thunder blew by
them with four straight victories
after San Antonio had taken a 2-0
lead in the Western Conference
finals.
The Heat routed the Thunder
for the championship and the
Spurs brought back essentially
the same team, believing anoth-
er year in their systemfor players
like Green and Kawhi Leonard
was a better option than seeking
out some quick-fix outsider.
Thats almost always been the
Spurs way, and its on the verge
of again being the model for
an NBA title at the expense
of the Miami one that once ap-
peared to be the way champions
would be built.
I think every one of us wants
this very badly from the top on
down, Duncan said. Were try-
ing to play that way.

team is five games out of first
place in the East. We were just
trying to find an off day that
would be compatable.
Making things fit is what Mad-
don does best.
Hes turned Tampa Bay into a
perennial AL playoff contender
and earned the 1998 American
League pennant despite working
with one of baseballs lowest pay-
rolls and losing All-Star caliber
players almost every season.
Now Maddons trying to turn
around Hazletons reputation as
a town in strife.
To me, its about flipping a
culture, Maddon said. How do
you do that? For me, its pretty
simple. It begins with building
relationships. Once you build
relationships, then trust occurs.
Then there could be an open
exhange of ideas without push-
back. With our Tampa Bay team,
it doesnt matter who is right. Its
about getting it right on a night-
ly basis.
Maybe hes onto something
here.
Hazleton residents from all
ethnic backrounds including
Caucasian, African-American,
Mexican and Asian packed
together for a grand opening
ceremony in a basement room
at the Hazleton One Commu-
nity Center, a building renovated
from its days as the MPB School
Building on East 4th Street.
The center will offer such
sports programs as basketball,
archery and volleyball, which
require registration but no fee.
Other programs offered by the
center will require a fee, but Bob
Curry of the Hazleton Integra-
tion Project committee said We
would never turn a kid away
from a program.
It seems Maddon has a habit
of turning heads, on and off the
field.
No small feat, two manager
of the year in baseball awards,
said Pennsylvania senator John
Yudichak, who is also from Ha-
zleton. No small feat. But what
he has managed here in the city
of Hazleton, bringing together
different people with different
interests, is the best managing
Joe Maddons ever done.
Maddons plan for unifying his
hometown sounds uncomplicat-
ed, but ambitous.
Now were bringing it all to-
gether in a very, very positive
way, Maddon said. The kids
dont see any difference. Kids
just like other kids. Eventually,
the parents are going to come to
watch them play, be in the same
building, be on the same team,
root for the same goals. And
eventually all that superficial
craziness goes away. Eventually,
its going to pay off for the entire
community.
It begins with the kids, Mad-
don continued. Its a great spot
to bring the kids together.
Then the grown-ups will fig-
ure it out.
MADDON
Heat back on familiar
and shaky ground
By TIMREYNOLDS
AP Basketball Writer
MIAMI LeBron James has
been here before, with dire re-
sults.
It was two years ago, the end
of the first season of Big Three
basketball in Miami. The situ-
ation: Heat down 3-2, hosting
Game 6 of the NBA Finals, only
two home wins separating them
from what would have been
James first title.
Then, thud.
James had six turnovers in
Game 6, the Heat were outscored
by 24 with him on the floor, and
the Dallas Mavericks became
NBA champions. And now, here
comes a chance to face the same
situation. Down 3-2 again, and
back at home for Game 6 of the
finals against the San Antonio
Spurs on Tuesday night, Miami
needs two wins in three days or
else it will be watching someone
else end this season with a party
on its own floor.
Were going to see if were a
better team than we were our
first year together, James said.
Were also about to see is how
much James has grown since
that 2011 season.
He has more at stake than any
other Heat player in this series,
especially nowthat the Spurs are
one game away from grabbing
the championship. If the Heat
lose, itll be widely perceived as
James failure. If the Heat win,
his status as the games best
player not only becomes even
more cemented, but he might
even win over a few more doubt-
ers.
Our next challenge, big-
gest challenge, will be Tuesday
night, James said. We have an
opportunity on our home floor
with our home fans to keep the
series going, and we look for-
ward to it.
Getting swept in the finals by
San Antonio in 2007, that one
was written off as James just
not having enough talent around
him. Losing to Dallas in 2011, a
year after he, Dwyane Wade and
Chris Bosh came together in
such ballyhooed fashion in Mi-
ami, was an absolute nightmare
for James. Winning it all by top-
ping Oklahoma City last season,
that was his long-awaited ascen-
sion.
And what will be written
about this season, itll all be de-
cided over the next few days.
I have to come up big, for
sure in Game 6, James said.
But I believe we all have to play
at a high level in order to keep
the series going. So me being
one of the leaders of this team, I
do put a lot of pressure on myself
to force a Game 7, and I look for-
ward to the challenge.
When the Heat have been in
trouble the last two postseasons,
its pretty much has meant James
to the rescue.
In matchups where the Heat
have been down in a series or
faced elimination over the past
two seasons, the games best
player has played like the games
best player. Overall, in those
eight games Game 4 against
Indiana last season, Games 6
and 7 against Boston last season,
Game 2 against the Thunder
last season, Game 2 against Chi-
cago this year, Game 7 against
the Pacers this year and Games
2 and 4 against the Spurs
James numbers simply pop.
Hes averaged 31.1 points on
53 percent shooting, added 10.6
rebounds and 5.4 assists, and the
Heat are a whopping plus-128
with him on the floor in those
contests.
LJ has proven himself enough
in this league, Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra said, and on the big-
gest stage.
The Heat arent down in this
series with the Spurs because
of James, who was a deserved
scapegoat in 2011 against the
Mavericks.
N B A F I N A L S
Addison Maruszak (3-for-7)
added an RBI-double in the fifth
then scored on a passed ball to
put SWB ahead 5-1.
The first game couldnt have
gone much worse for the Rail-
Riders as Rochester piled up 10
runs on 12 hits, scoring in all but
two innings of the seven-frame
contest. The Red Wings took a
6-0 lead entering the bottom of
the fourth as SWB starter Caleb
Cotham was wild in his first ap-
pearance since June 9.
Cotham (2-4), who lasted just
2 1-3 innings, gave up five of
those six runs. He walked eight
in the time he was on the mound
to set a new season-high for a
RailRiders pitcher. The righty,
who won his previous three deci-
sions prior to Monday, threw 83
pitches but just 34 of them were
for strikes. The previous high for
walks in a game by one RailRid-
ers hurler was six set by Brett
Marshall.
Circumstances got so bad for
SWB in the opener that Ryan
Baker, who is listed on the ros-
ter as a catcher, saw his first ac-
tion of the season for the team
on Monday, taking to the mound
to get the final four outs. Baker,
who had pitched previously in
his career, was actually the high-
light of the game for fans and
teammates in the blowout loss
as he was getting Rochester hit-
ters out with a knuckleball that
hovered around 48-51 mph.
Those in attendance enjoyed
Bakers pitches and hurlers in
the bullpen stood by the fence
to watch the outing. While he
did allow two runs, he changed
speeds throwing a fastball in the
upper 60s.
Even though the RailRid-
ers sprayed nine hits, they only
scored one run on a sacrifice fly
by Josh Bell. Maruszak, Zoilo
Almonte, Johnson and Ruiz all
had two hits. But they couldnt
get anything going against Roch-
ester starter Vance Worley, who
was Minnesotas Opening Day
starter but was optioned to Tri-
ple-A after struggling to a 1-5 re-
cord and a 7.21 ERA in 10 starts
with the Twins.

BOSTON Brad March-
and is known in Boston as the
Little Ball of Hate, a nickname
that captures his stature hes
listed at 5-foot-9 and his
tendency to get on the nerves of
opposing players.
An offensive threat who led
the Bruins in scoring in the reg-
ular season, Marchand entered
Monday nights Game 3 of the
Stanley Cup finals tied for the
team lead in penalty minutes.
But hes yet to get sent to
the box in the finals against the
Chicago Blackhawks.
Give him time.
I havent really tried to do a
whole lot, he said. Im just try-
ing to play the game. Everyone
is so caught up in trying to
antagonize guys and stuff like
that; it just doesnt happen like
that. It comes with the game
and you have to react to differ-
ent situations.
Marchand was asked after
Monday mornings skate what
the difference is between a
dirty player and one who is just
tough.
When youre getting suspen-
sions and stuff like that, thats
playing dirty, he said. You play
hard, a lot of things happen in a
game. But I dont think anybody
is out there trying to injure
guys.
Blackhawks captain Jonathan
Toews said he understood that
Marchand was just doing his
job.
We know the style of hockey
he wants to play, and were not
going to buy into the antics and
the things he wants to try to
pull on us out there, he said.
Thats the best way to control a
player like that, I guess.
YOUTHFUL TOEWS: In
2006, Jonathan Toews was an
18-year-old star waiting to be
chosen near the top of the NHL
draft. During the Stanley Cup
finals that year, he was one
of the leading prospects who
attended a game, a practice the
NHL began in 1994.
He was the third player
drafted seven years ago, then
won the cup with Chicago in
2010. Now, as captain of the
Blackhawks, Toews has another
chance in their series against
the Boston Bruins. Before Game
3 on Monday night, with the
series tied at one game apiece,
four of the top prospects in the
draft scheduled for June 30
visited TD Garden.
It was a special one, Toews
said of his visit to the series be-
tween the Carolina Hurricanes
and Edmonton Oilers. Its
weird to think of 2006. The time
has flown by.
The four prospects at Mon-
days game were defensemen
Seth Jones of Portland of the
Western Hockey League and
Darnell Nurse of Sault Ste.
Marie of the Ontario Hockey
League, and two players from
Halifax of the Quebec Major
Junior Hockey League: center
Nathan MacKinnon and left
wing Jonathan Drouin.
Other players in the series
who attended Stanley Cup finals

Redden in 1995, Nathan Horton

SPEEDY STALBERG:
Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel
Quenneville wanted more speed
in his lineup for Game 3, so
he turned to right wing Viktor
Stalberg and benched Brandon
Bollig against the Boston Bruins
on Monday night.
Bollig played the first two
games of the series because
Quenneville wanted a more
physical player against the hard-
hitting Bruins. But after Bolligs
turnover led to Daniel Pailles
overtime goal in Bostons 2-1
win in Game 2 on Saturday
night, Quenneville benched
him. Stalberg had played 15 of
Chicagos first 17 playoff games
this year going into the Stanley
Cup finals.
I think we need some speed
from him. I think we need
energy. I think that hes a threat
off the rush, in zone, defensively
responsible, Quenneville said.
I think Bollig gave us a couple
real strong games. You can talk
about the last play. Certainly,
you like the predictability of his
game. I thought he did a nice
job. Viktor, were just looking for
more, I think, offensively, defen-
sively, giving us some more in
both those areas.
NOT WHAT HE APPEARS
TO BE: Bruins forward Chris
Kelly is rarely in the spotlight
and speaks quietly with report-
ers after games. But Boston
coach Claude Julien says hes
just the opposite around his
teammates.
Hes subdued when he
talks to you guys, Julien told
reporters before Game 3 of the
Stanley Cup finals Monday
night. Theres no doubt in the
dressing room, even on the ice,
even practices, he does have
a temper, a good temper. Hes
demanding, not just of himself,
but everybody else around.
I think everyone respects
him that way, Julien said.
Thats just his personality. Hes
a very intense individual, very
demanding.
Kelly scored Bostons first
goal in the 2-1 overtime victory
that evened the series at one
game apiece Saturday night.

Ultra marathon cyclist
to host event at Sicklers
Ultra marathon cyclist Paul
Zbiek will present a workshop
on long-distance cycling at 6
p.m. Wednesday at Sicklers in
Exeter.
The program is titled, So
You Wanna Ride a Century,
and Zbiek promises to discus,
advise and answer questions
on how to ride 100 miles or be-
yond.
Zbiek has plenty of experi-
ence at long distance riding.
Zbiek has ridden over
100,000 miles and completed
over 400 UltraMarathon Cy-
cling Association certified cen-
turies. He was 2004 UMCA
Mileage Challenge champion
with 60 century rides.
For the past five years he
completed the longest UMCA
Indoor Challenge ride, includ-
ing the 34-hour Spin 4 Life in
February 2013. In August, he
will attempt to repeat the Met-
ric Millennium (1000 km), to
raise money for the Medical
Oncology Associates of Wyo-
ming.
Wednesday nights event is
free to the public.
Chara and Chicago forward
Marian Hossa were both in-
jured during warmups. But
while Chara needed just some
stitches after his collision with
teammate Milan Lucic, Hossa
was a late scratch with an un-
specified injury.
Hossa, who has three game-
winning goals in the playoffs
this year, was tied for the team
lead with 15 playoff points and
was third on the Blackhawks
with 17 goals during the regu-
lar season.
It was a loss the Blackhawks
couldnt afford.
Not with Rask stopping ev-
erything that came his way.
The Bruins goalie, who was a
backup to Conn Smythe-winner
Tim Thomas in the teams 2011
Stanley Cup run, didnt face as
difficult a test as in the first pe-
riod of Game 2, when the Black-
hawks sent 19 shots at him but
managed just one goal. But he
stymied them all game and got
some help from the post on Bry-
an Bickells shot with 42 seconds
left in the game.
The puck caromed off the
right post and the goal light
flickered on briefly, but play
continued for another 30 sec-
onds.
NHL
A U T O R A C I N g
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Jason
Leffler, like every other racer,
understood the risks of his pro-
fession. Its a conversation he
had with his longtime girlfriend
when his NASCAR prospects
dried up and a return to the
sprint car circuit was the only
way he could compete on a regu-
lar basis.
It wasnt a glamorous life, and
it certainly wasnt going to make
him rich. But it was a chance to
race. And, man, did Leffler love
racing.
Wed talked a lot about these
cars and the dangers involved
and Jason accepted it because
he said all the time, Id rather
my son see me live a happy life
then see me sitting in a job I hate
being miserable, Julianna Pat-
terson told The Associated Press
on Monday. Jason was amazing.
He was ornery. His life was Char-
lie, racing, family and friends. In
that order. But Charlie was the
most important. Charlie was his
entire world.
That was evident long before
Lefflers death in an accident at
a dirt track in New Jersey last
Wednesday. The 37-year-old di-
vorced fathers Twitter feed and
Instagram account were a lov-
ing tribute to 5-year-old Charlie
Dean, his only child. There were
photos of the first day of school,
the two eating ice cream togeth-
er, playing on the floor, hang-
ing out at a race track, wearing
matching sunglasses and, last
month, Charlies kindergarten
graduation.
Everybody knows how racers
are, its all they focus on, Lef-
flers older brother, Chris, told
AP.
But fatherhood really
changed him, thats for sure. It
was all about Charlie. Jason took
Charlie wherever he could, tried
to show him everything. He re-
ally grew as an adult after Char-
lie was born because all his best
intentions were for Charlie. He
wasnt worried so much for him-
self anymore.
Although Leffler spent a de-
cade racing in NASCAR, he
wasnt a star and he certainly
wasnt a household name. But he
was extremely popular among
his peers and everyone knew
about his love for Charlie. It was
plain to see on Sunday, as Greg
Biffle held his own daughter in
Victory Lane at Michigan, la-
menting howLeffler didnt get to
spend Fathers Day with his son,
and after Kasey Kahne climbed
from his burning car he spoke
not of the cut tire that cost him
a win, but of the friend he lost.

Former Penn State players offer support for lawsuit
By GENARO C. ARMAS
AP Sports Writer
STATE COLLEGE About
325 former Penn State players
have signed a statement support-
ing the lawsuit filed by the fam-
ily of former coach Joe Paterno
and other former players seek-
ing to overturn NCAA sanctions
against the football program for
the Jerry Sandusky child sex
abuse scandal.
Former player Brian Masella
released the letter Monday in
support of the lawsuit, which
was also filed last month by some
coaches, trustees and faculty.
Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker
Paul Posluszny, and former NFL
quarterbacks Kerry Collins and
Todd Blackledge are among the
notable names who signed on to
the statement.
Masella said he and a few
other former players organized
the statement on their own after
some of the plaintiffs explained
their position in a letter to former
players and sought their support.
He stressed the statement had no
connection to the official Football
Lettermans Club.
The ex-players in the state-
ment said they stood with the
others in the case in demanding
fairness, due process, truth, and
a just outcome. Everyone San-
duskys victims, Penn Staters, and
the public at large deserves to
know the complete truth.
As in the lawsuit, the former
players in the statement took
issue with the NCAA basing its
strict sanctions on what they
called the flawed report by for-
mer FBI director Louis Freeh on
the scandal for the school.
Freeh concluded that Paterno
and three former school officials
concealed allegations against
Sandusky, a retired defensive
coordinator found guilty in
June 2012 on dozens of criminal
counts covering allegations on
and off campus. Sandusky, 69,
was sentenced to 30-to-60 years
in prison.
Paterno died in January 2012.
Freehs report was released the
following July, and the NCAA is-
sued its sanctions less than two
weeks later. The landmark pen-
alties included a four-year bowl
ban and steep scholarship cuts.
Paternos family andthe school
officials have firmly denied there
was a cover-up. The family ear-
lier this year commissioned a cri-
tique which called Freehs report
a rush to injustice.
The lawsuit filed several weeks
ago argues the NCAAsidestepped
its own rules with uncharacteris-
tic speed in levying sanctions,
and sought to raise fresh ques-
tions about Freehs report.
In speaking with a couple
former players, we wanted to do
something to support the (oth-
ers) involved in the lawsuit,
Masella, a 1975 graduate who
played tight end and punter, said
in a phone interview. We had
to start somewhere. It basically
started to snowball.
When asked, Masella also said
their actions dont take away
from the full support that for-
mer players have for coach Bill
OBrien and the current team.
They backed OBrien 100
percent, and that they wanted
what was best for the current
players in hoping to reverse the
sanctions, he said.
The NCAA has not filed a
response yet to the lawsuit.
NCAA president Mark Emmert
named as a defendant in the
lawsuit declined comment on
individual cases last month.
Im perfectly fine to have an
opportunity for us to state our
case and have it heard in a court
of law, then well let a legal sys-
tem do its work, Emmert said
in Irving, Texas at a Big 12 meet-
ing on May 30.

the Black Hawk, S.D., fire department as crews fighting the Black Forest wildfire return from
their shifts outside a fire camp at Pine Creek High School in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Sun-
day. Organizers of the Solheim Cup announced Monday that they will donate 15 percent of the
cost of all tickets sold this month on the Solheim Cup website www.solheimcup.com to the
Colorado Professional Firefighters Association.
PARKER, Colo. Never
afraid to let a tear or two drop,
U.S. Solheim Cup captain Meg
Mallon did, indeed, get choked
up when asked about the fun-
draising effort the tournament
is organizing for firefighters
battling blazes close to the golf
course.
She wasnt nearly as warm
and fuzzy while discussing how
shell choose the last two mem-
bers of her team.
With the Solheim Cup only
two months away, Mallon said
she sent an email to the top
30 players in contention for
the 12 spots on the team that
will compete against Europe at
Colorado Golf Club from Aug.
16-18. Ten of those spots will
be earned based on rankings;
Mallon will make the last two
picks.
I played on eight teams and
I was never a pick, I made it on
my own points, Mallon said.
So, I told the players, I have
no sympathy for you if you
dont make the team. I said,
Dont expect to make the team
if you dont make it on points.
That said, Mallon will still
have to pick two players after
the British Open, which ends
Aug. 4.
The ideal scenario is some-
one with experience in Solheim
Cups and who is playing really
well, Mallon said. Youve got
to take into consideration the
golf course, take into consid-
eration being at home. Youve
got to look at players who can
handle those situations, look
for that special player who
embraces this event and can
handle it.
Mallon was in town after a
weekend of practice in Parker,
where players could smell
smoke wafting over from the
devastating Colorado wildfires
to the south.
Cup organizers announced
that 15 percent of the cost of all
tickets sold this month on the
Solheim Cup website www.
solheimcup.com will go to-
ward the Colorado Professional
Firefighters Association.
Located about 20 miles south
of the Solheim Cup course, the
Black Forest fire has destroyed
nearly 500 houses and covered
22 square miles. It was 65 per-
cent contained as of Monday.
Tournaments give a lot to
charity but when you have
something like this happen in
the state of Colorado and youre
so close to it and you have a
chance to do something, Mal-
lon said.
What the people have gone
through the last two weeks,
this is our opportunity to say to
you, We just want to help. It
got me all choked up. Improud
to have the opportunity to do
that.
The players have reached the
heart of the LPGA schedule,
with three majors in the span of
six tournaments, including the
U.S. Open at Sebonack, begin-
ning June 27. Majors are worth
double points in the Solheim
Cup standings. The top eight
on the list will earn automatic
spots on the team, along with
the next two highest ranked
players from the Rolex rank-
ings.
Mallon will pick the final two
spots.
Firmly cemented on the
team is Stacy Lewis, whose
783.50 points is more than 300
ahead of second-place Cristie
Kerr.
Those on the bubble include
Morgan Pressel and Michelle
Wie, who are ranked 10th and
12th, respectively, on the Sol-
heim Cup points list.

Gilmour is Little Leagues
first female board chair
By GENARO C. ARMAS
AP Sports Writer
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT
A service organization outing for
fathers and sons to a Baltimore
Orioles game didnt stop Davie
Jane Gilmour from joining her
dad at the ballpark when she was
a little girl.
Decades later, Gilmour is
setting a precedent for Little
League baseball, too.
Nearly 40 years after girls
were allowed to officially play
Little League, Gilmour is the
first woman to lead the Board
of Directors for the youth sports
organization. Its the highest-
profile leadership position held
by a woman at Little League
which is most known for its
World Series played primarily by
boys ages 11-13.
Its just one of those things of
circumstances, said Gilmour,
58, the president of the Penn-
sylvania College of Technol-
ogy, in Williamsport. When I
look around, Im often the first,
or one of the first women on a
board, because of there are still
(smaller) proportions of women
in leadership communities and
organizations.
One of Gilmours first offi-
cial, public responsibilities con-
nected to the World Series since
becoming chair in November
was taking part in the draw last
week that set up the opening-
game matchups when the tour-
nament begins in two months.
The sprawling complex in South
Williamsport, across the Susque-
hanna River from Little Leagues
birthplace in Williamsport, turns
into a youth baseball wonder-
land for 11 days each August.
Gilmour never played Little
League growing up outside Har-
risburg, though she professed to
being a devout baseball fan dat-
ing back to those trips to see the
Orioles with her father.
It was one of the first times
that my father, who is a big in-
fluence on me, made a big state-
ment, Gilmour recalled before
the Little League event Thurs-
day. Her father just nonchalant-
ly said were going to the base-
ball game. We got on the bus, I
was the only girl and it was OK.
Ill never forget. We sat on the
third-base line, she said. It was
a great day.
Gilmour has been on the
board for about seven years, and
other women have served on
the board. Little Leagues newly
renovated museum also has a
new display honoring the contri-
butions of women as volunteers
and as ambassadors in helping to
grow the game, especially in the
leagues formative years.
Gilmour said she was flattered
when approached about taking
over as chair.
For me, it was a natural fit
because of my connection to the
community, my connection to
education and as I like to tell (or-
ganization president Steve Keen-
er), I happened to be a woman,
she said. So that worked.
Girls were first officially al-
lowed to play Little League base-
ball in 1974, though the first girl
to actually play Little League
was Kathryn Johnston in 1950
in Corning, N.Y. The first girl to
play in the World Series was Vic-
toria Roche, in 1984, for a team
from Brussels, Belgium.
Little League softball pro-
grams for girls also began in
1974.
There were about 331,000
girls playing softball in 2012,
though participation has de-
clined from a high of 404,000 in
1996. The numbers had inched
upward again through the first
half of the previous decade, to
nearly 367,000 in 2007 but has
declined slightly annually since
then.
Hermann
starts as
Rutgers AD
By TOMCANAVAN
AP Sports Writer
PISCATAWAY, N.J. Julie
Hermann has taken over as Rut-
gers athletic director.
The embattled Hermann
showed up for work before most
of her employees on Monday
morning and started the task of
leading an embarrassed athletic
department back to respectabil-
ity and into the Big Ten Confer-
ence in 2014.
Hermann did not answer ei-
ther emails or telephone calls
left by The Associated Press
seeking comment. She failed
to stop and answer questions
around 12:15 p.m. when she left
in an SUV driven by Doug Ko-
koskie, the senior associate ath-
letic director for facilities, events
and operations. The two stopped
at a couple of nearby athletic
fields for quick looks.
Athletic department spokes-
man Jason Baum said Hermann
would not talk to the media until
next week.
The 49-year-old Hermann was
hired May 15 and then spent
weeks under the microscope af-
ter it was alleged by volleyball
players that she coached at Ten-
nessee in 1996 that they were
verbally and emotionally abused
by her. She denied the allega-
tions.
The allegations were particu-
larly troublesome because Rut-
gers recent problems started
after a videotape was aired in
early April showing mens bas-
ketball coach Mike Rice verbally
and physically abusing his play-
ers during his three-year tenure.
The verbal assault included anti-
gay slurs.
Rice was fired within days by
university president Robert Bar-
chi, and popular athletic direc-
tor Tim Pernetti was forced to
resign two days after that for his
handling of the incident.
Pernetti suspended, fined and
ordered Rice to undergo anger
management courses in Decem-
ber after consulting with a legal
firm hired to investigate allega-
tions made by Eric Murdock, a
former player development di-
rector for the basketball program
who was fired by Rice in July.

Justin Gatlin talked a big
game before a recent race with
the worlds fastest sprinter, step-
ping up his boasting simply to
bait Usain Bolt.
Usually, thats not a wise move.
And yet the American backed up
running his mouth by churning
his legs as he blazed right by the
Jamaican during a competition
in Rome nearly two weeks ago.
Bolt rarely gets caught espe-
cially after an early lead.
With that, Gatlin believes he
may have energized his adver-
sary.
But Gatlins driven, too, since
all the headlines after the race
centered on Bolt possibly losing
a step rather than Gatlin gaining
ground on the Olympic cham-
pion.
Gatlins itching for a rematch
at worlds later this summer
on an even bigger stage and
with more eyes watching. First,
though, he has to earn his spot at
nationals later this week in Des
Moines, Iowa.
To me, beating Bolt was just
another check list, All right, I
beat him. I have to do it again
and again, said Gatlin, who is
considering running the 200 at
nationals as well. Bolt is one of
the guys I have to get by to reach
my goals of being dominant and
winning big races.
His rst step is securing one
of the three U.S. positions in the
100 no easy feat given the
talent-laden eld that includes
American record holder Tyson
Gay, whos fully healed from a
surgically repaired hip that ham-
pered himlast season. Mike Rod-
gers, Ryan Bailey and Walter Dix
are also in the mix for a spot at
worlds in Moscow in August.
Probably the most competi-
tive nationals Ive been to in my
life, Gatlin said. We all have
fast times to our names.
But not everyone has beaten
Bolt. Precious fewhave since the
world record holder began domi-
nating tracks signature race.
Bolt recently shrugged off any
suggestion hes slowing down,
pointing out the loss to Gatlin
doesnt say much.
After all, it was just one race
and he typically saves his best
for the bright lights of major
meets.
Then theres this to consider:
Each time Bolt has lost, hes
raised his game. When Bolt was
beaten at the Jamaican Olympic
trials by teammate Yohan Blake
last summer, he roared back at
the London Games for his sec-
ond straight 100 crown.
If anything, (losing) de-
nitely lights a re under him and
his camp, Gatlin said. If you
get beat not running very fast,
like hes usually known to do, it
stings even more.
The upset certainly caught the
attention of Gay.
A good boost (for Gatlin),
but at the same time, everybody
knows the world record holder
wasnt ready and that hes wait-
ing to perform on the big stage,
said Gay, whos tied with Blake
as the second-fastest sprinter on
the planet courtesy of his nish
of 9.69 seconds in 2009 (Bolt has
the record of 9.58). Until you
dominate on the big stage, it re-
ally doesnt matter.
That June day in Rome will
remain special for Gatlin, a
highlight he ranks up there with
winning gold at the 2004 Olym-
pic Games and taking bronze in
London last August.
When Bolt broke out of the
blocks, it looked as if the race
was over. After all, Bolt hardly
ever gets a good start and when
he does he never gets caught.
Except this time.
Midway through the race, Gat-
lin actually ew past him and
then out-leaned Bolt at the nish
to win by a hundredth of a sec-
ond.
Only, the cameras began fol-
lowing Bolt around the track.
I was confused. I think he
was, too, Gatlin said. Then all
of a sudden, my picture showed
up on the scoreboard. I was so
happy. I was clapping, thinking,
All right, were putting (winning
times) down.
After the race, Bolt came over
to Gatlin and they had a brief ex-
change.
Told me good job, Gatlin
recounted. Other than that, no
real words were used between
us.
In the days following his win,
Gatlin scanned papers and web-
sites, just to gauge Bolts reac-
tion.
Said he wasnt as motivated
as he should be, Gatlin said.
Not getting his proper due
from Bolt?
Theres no such thing as a
one-off race and you get your
respect, said Gatlin, a former
star at the University of Tennes-
see whos training in Florida un-
der coach Dennis Mitchell. You
could come across the line as an
Olympic champion and people
are still going to doubt you as a
uke. Ive been there before.
You can come across the line
as a world champion and people
will doubt you as a uke. Been
there. This ball game is all about
consistency and proving yourself
day in and day out. You just have
to keep trying to build.
Not all that long ago, Gatlin
was the sprinter everyone was
trying to catch. He tested posi-
tive for excessive testosterone
in 2006, leading to a four-year
ban. Since his reinstatement on
July 24, 2010, the 31-year-old has
been steadily sprinting his way
back into top form.
He knows there will always be
skeptics, those who will question
each and every performance.
Hes made peace with that.
You dont have to like me. I
dont have to be the nicest guy
on the block. You dont have to
cheer for me, Gatlin said. But
know when I step on that line,
Imgoing to run you to that line.
These days, hes focused on
his starts, feeling thats the last
thing he needs to sharpen to
keep ahead of the eld.
My starts are good, Gatlin
said. But my nishes have been
the nishes of the old Justin. Im
so happy to have that back. Put
the old Justin together with the
new Justin and I think its going
to be something impressive.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.
A contrite Chad Johnson
apologized Monday for dis-
respecting a judge when the
former NFL star slapped his at-
torney on the backside in court
last week and was released
from jail after only a week in-
stead of 30 days.
Broward County Circuit Judge
Kathleen McHugh accepted
Johnsons apology and cut back
his jail term for a probation vio-
lation to the seven days he had
already served since the rear-
swatting. Johnson, a amboyant
wide receiver formerly known as
Chad Ochocinco, said in court
that hed had time to think about
why his ippant attitude was
wrong especially in a domes-
tic violence case.
I just wanted to apologize
for disrespecting the court last
time, said Johnson, wearing a
tan jail jumpsuit with his hands
shackled at the waist. I apolo-
gize. I did have time to reect
on the mistakes I made in this
courtroom.
Johnson walked out of jail
shortly after 4 p.m. and was
met by his attorney, Adam
Swickle, and sports agent
Drew Rosenhaus. Johnson told
reporters he was thankful to
McHugh because she was the
rst person to get him to slow
down and think about the path
his life was taking.
No one has been able to do
it, not even my parents, he
said. I thank her. Everything
she did was justied.
Asked if he hoped to latch
on with an NFL team, Johnson
said, I just have to say my next
move, my best move.
McHugh noted that in a pre-
vious hearing, Johnson put his
arm around a female prosecu-
tors shoulders, prompting her
to tell him twice not to touch
her. The judge also pointed out
that when Johnson head-butted
his then-wife, Evelyn Lozada of
the reality TV show Basketball
Wives, she suffered a three-
inch gash on her head that re-
quired eight stitches. The judge
called those injuries horric.
McHugh also said Johnson
failed to appreciate the gift of
probation after pleading no
contest to battery in the alter-
cation last August with Lozada,
which prompted her to quickly
le for divorce. Johnson, 35, was
in court because he had failed to
meet with his probation ofcer
for three straight months.
I nd thats an arrogant dis-
regard for a court order, the
judge said.
McHugh ordered Johnson to
perform 25 hours of communi-
ty service and attend domestic
violence counseling sessions
twice a week during probation,
and she extended his probation
an extra three months through
mid-October.
Swickle, the attorney who
had his backside slapped, said
Johnson will fully comply with
all probation conditions and
hopes to resurrect his NFL ca-
reer. The six-time Pro Bowler
was cut by the Miami Dolphins
after his arrest for battery; he
played most of his 11 seasons
with the Cincinnati Bengals
along with one year with the
New England Patriots.

WASHINGTON Is the era of ul-
tra-low interest rates nearing an end?
Thats the question and the fear
Chairman Ben Bernanke will face
this week when he takes questions af-
ter a Federal Reserve policy meeting.
Financial markets have been gyrat-
ing in the 3 weeks since Bernanke
told Congress the Fed might scale
back its effort to keep long-term rates
at record lows within the next few
meetings earlier than many had
assumed.Bernanke cautioned that the
Fed would slow its support only if it
felt condent the job market would
show sustained improvement. And
earlier in the day, he said the Fed must
take care not to prematurely reduce its
stimulus for the still-subpar economy.
Yet investors were left puzzled and
spooked by a mixed message. Fear
spread that the Fed would soon slow
its $85 billion-a-month in bond pur-
chases. Those purchases have been
intended to hold down long-term bor-
rowing rates to spur spending. Many
worried that a pullback in the bond
purchases could boost long-term
rates, trigger a stock selloff and per-
haps weaken the economy.
On Wednesday, when the Fed ends
a two-day policy meeting with a Ber-
nanke news conference, the nancial
world will be looking to the chairman
to settle the confusion. What, Bernan-
ke will likely be asked, would show
sustained improvement in the job mar-
ket? And when will the Fed most likely
slow the pace of its bond purchases?
Last month, the U.S. economy add-
ed a solid 175,000 jobs. But the unem-
ployment rate was 7.6 percent. Econ-
omists tend to regard the job market
as healthy when unemployment is be-
tween 5 percent and 6 percent.
Since Bernankes vague public com-
ments May 22, the Dow Jones indus-
trial average has uctuated sharply
and shed about 3 percent of its value.
But the bigger shock has been in the
bond market. The rate on the bench-
mark 10-year Treasury has jumped
from a low of 1.63 percent in early
May to 2.13 percent.

World looks to Fed to clarify stimulus plans
By MARTIN CRUTSINGER
AP Economics Writer
US ECONOMY
EU, US agree to begin free trade negotiations
ENNISKILLEN, Northern Ireland
The European Union and the Unit-
ed States will open negotiations next
month on a long-sought deal to cre-
ate free trade between the worlds two
mightiest economic regions an effort
that could create millions of jobs but
that could also take years to transform
from dream to reality.
EU and U.S. leaders announced the
plans Monday while in Northern Ireland
for the G-8 summit of wealthy nations.
America and Europe have done ex-
traordinary things before and I believe
we can forge an economic alliance as
strong as our diplomatic and security
alliances, which of course are the most
powerful in history, U.S. President
Barack Obama declared alongside EU
leaders and the British host, Prime Min-
ister David Cameron.
At stake is a vision of boosting the val-
ue of trans-Atlantic trade in goods and
services that Obama said already ex-
ceeds $1 trillion annually, as well as $4
trillion annually in investment in each
sides economies.
EU and U.S. ofcials agreed at the
start of the Group of Eight summit
that these already colossal trade gures
could be much higher if only both sides
agreed to dismantle high tariff walls
and bureaucratic hurdles that block the
competitive export of many products.
The whole point is to re up our
economies and drive growth and pros-
perity around the world and there is
no more powerful way to achieve that
than by boosting trade, Cameron said
against a backdrop of Northern Irelands
lush Fermanagh lakeland.
Cameron said a tariff- and barrier-free
trade environment could generate an ex-
tra $150 billion annually for the 27-na-
tion European Union, perhaps $120 bil-
lion for the United States, and provide
a similar growth jolt for the rest of the
world. The British leader said these
gures would mean, in practical terms,
2 million extra jobs, more choice and
lower prices in our shops. Were talking
about what could be the biggest bilat-
eral trade deal in history. This is a
once-in-a-generation prize, and we are
determined to seize it.
A White House statement said the
EU-U.S. talks could start the week of
July 8. Both sides hope to reach agree-
ment by late 2014.
Food companies
work to make
it look natural
By CANDICE CHOI
AP Food Industry Writer
NEW YORK Heres the lat-
est goal for food makers: Perfect
the art of imperfection.
When stretching out the dough
for its premium Artisan Pizzas,
Dominos workers are instructed
not to worry about making the
rectangles too perfect: The pies
are supposed to have a more rus-
tic look.
At McDonalds, the egg whites
for the new breakfast sandwich
called the Egg White Delight Mc-
Mufn have a loose shape rather
than the round discs used in the
original Egg McMufn.
And Kraft Foods took more
than two years to develop a pro-
cess to make the thick, uneven
slabs of turkey in its Carving
Board line look like leftovers
from a homemade meal rather
than the cookie-cutter ovals typi-
cal of most lunchmeat.
The goal is to get the same
action as if you were cutting with
a knife, said Paul Morin, a Kraft
engineer.
Food companies are respond-
ing to the adage that people eat
with their eyes. Americans still
love their fast food and packaged
snacks, but theyre increasingly
turning their noses up at foods
that look overly processed.
Theres no way to measure ex-
actly how much food makers are
investing to make their products
look more natural or fresh. But
adaption is seen as necessary for
fueling steady growth.
Over the past ve years, the
overall packaged food industry in
North America grew 14 percent
to $392.5 billion, according to
market researcher Euromonitor
International.
Homebuilder condence soars
For the rst time in seven years,
most U.S. homebuilders are optimistic
about home sales, a sign that construc-
tion could help drive stronger econom-
ic growth in coming months.
The National Association of Home
Builders/Wells Fargo builder senti-
ment index released Monday leaped
to 52 this month from 44 in May. It
was the largest monthly increase since
2002.
A reading above 50 indicates more
builders view sales conditions as good,
rather than poor. The index hasnt
been that high since April 2006, just
before the housing market collapsed.
Farm bill could hike milk prices
Approval of a massive farm bill
and the cost of a gallon of milk
could hinge on a proposed new dairy
program the House is expected to vote
on this week.
An overhaul of dairy policy and
a new insurance program for dairy
farmers included in the farm bill
have passionately divided farm-state
lawmakers. Most importantly, it has
caused a rift between House Speaker
John Boehner, R-Ohio, and the top
Democrat on the House Agriculture
Committee, Rep. Collin Peterson of
Minnesota.
The proposed dairy program would
do away with current price supports
and allow farmers to purchase a new
kind of insurance that pays out when
the gap between the price they receive
for milk and their feed costs narrows.
The program is voluntary, but farmers
who participate also would have to
sign up for a so-called market stabiliza-
tion program that could dictate pro-
duction cuts when oversupply drives
down prices.
Apple details govt requests
Apple says it received between
4,000 and 5,000 requests from U.S. law
enforcement for customer data for the
six months ended in May.
The company, like some other busi-
nesses, had asked the U.S government
to be able to share how many requests
it received related to national security
and how it handled them. Those re-
quests were made as part of Prism, the
recently revealed highly classied Na-
tional Security Agency program that
seizes records from Internet rms.
Apple Inc. said that between 9,000
and 10,000 accounts or devices were
specied in data requests between
Dec. 1, 2012, and May 31.

Schedule time to sleep
well. Stress hormones are
turned off when we are in
deep sleep. And its during this
time that the body and brain
are in restoration mode.
Cut out caffeine at least
six hours before beddy-bye.
Thats how long it takes for
this stimulant to be cleared
out of the body for better
sleep.
Put a lid on the bottle.
Alcohol suppresses REM sleep
the deep, dream-related
sleep that refreshes the brain
and stores memory.
Dont rely on sleep
supplements. Products like
melatonin to induce sleep only
encourage our brains to make
less of this natural substance,
increasing the problem over
time. Only take sleep aids for
a short term to restore natural
circadian rhythm, experts say.
Rest and digest. When
you take time to calm down
and eat pleasant, unhurried
meals, your body sends out
signals that improve digestion
and keeps your blood sugars
on a more even keel.
Take time to be active.
Inactivity can trigger anxiety,
while regular exercise calms
the stress response.
Pick your battles. People
who stress only about things
they can control tend to be
the healthiest and longest-
lived, experts say.

A
t the end of 2012, Jennie Henderson of
Wilkes-Barre learned she had breast can-
cer and that, after a lumpectomy, she
would need radiation treatment.
When she found out she was eligible for a new-
to-the-area technique for receiving that radia-
tion, a method called brachytherapy in which ra-
dioactive seeds are inserted into the breast, she
decided right away that was what she wanted.
You only have to go for 5 days instead of 6 weeks,
she said, comparing it to standard, external-beam radia-
tion. And you dont burn. The seeds are inside a bal-
loon, and they dont touch your skin.
Her surgeon, Dr. Louis C. Blaum of Kingston, is en-
thusiastic about the procedure for women whose tumors
have been removed and who meet the criteria of age,
size of tumor and whether the cancer has spread.
This is very focused and spares the rest of the
breast, said Blaum, who reported last week he had just
performed his 10th surgery to insert a catheter through
which the radioactive seeds enter the breast.
After Blauminserts the catheter, he said, a patient will
visit a cancer treatment facility twice a day for ve days
to have the seeds temporarily inserted.
Brachytherapy
has advantages in fight against breast cancer
By MARY THERESE BIEBEL
mbiebel@timesleader.com
ARE YOU A CANDIDATE?
To be eligible for brachytherapy, according to recommendations
from the American Society of Breast Cancer Surgeons:
The patient should be 45 or older
The tumor should be less than 3 cm
The clear margin around the tumor should be at least 2 mm.
The cancer should not have spread to the lymph nodes.
Other groups may recommend different criteria.
Dr. Louis Blaum holds a catheter inserted into a model of
a human breast. Through a similar catheter, radioactive
seeds can be temporarily placed inside a breast to provide
radiation that is very targeted and does not damage the
skin the way standard, external-beam radiation can.

After a woman has had a lumpectomy, breast surgeon Dr. Louis Blaum can prepare a breast for brachytherapy by
inserting a catheter. Through that device, radioactive seeds are temporarily placed inside the breast where the
cancer was found.
Caffeine-infused wafes and maple
syrup are being promoted as energizing
alternatives to a morning mug of coffee.
But the recent craze of adding caf-
feine to a range of kid-friendly snack
foods including popcorn, chew-
ing gum, candy bars, mints, Cracker
Jacks, jelly beans and ice cream
is raising enough concern that the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has launched an investigation
of caffeines possible health effects on
children and adolescents.
The effort, which comes amid the
heated debate over whether energy
drinks with stimulants are safe for
children, marks the agencys rst
close look at the worlds most popu-
lar psychoactive drug since its use in
Cola was approved in the 1950s.
Most healthy adults can safely tol-
erate moderate doses of 200 to 300
milligrams, which is about two to
four cups of brewed coffee, according
to the National Institutes of Health.
But the U.S. lacks ofcial guidelines
or limits for children, whose smaller
bodies and developing brains may be
more vulnerable to caffeines effects,
including the risk of physical depen-
dence and addiction.
Part of what worries the FDA is the
changing nature of howcaffeine is deliv-
ered through a greater array of prod-
uctsthat mayappeal toyounger consum-
ers andinhigher doses thaninthe past.
Chewing a pack of Jolt Energy
Gum, for example, would have ef-
fects similar to downing six energy
drinks, according to the package.
Its a question of nding caffeine
in new and different places, said
Michael Taylor, the FDAs deputy
commissioner for food. There are
concerns over the perhaps subtle de-
velopmental impacts on children and
whether they become regular users of
a central nervous system stimulant.
What are the cumulative effects?
Meanwhile, parents cant necessar-
ily tell how much caffeine children
are getting. Caffeine levels arent re-
quired to be disclosed on food labels,
and if the caffeine occurs naturally
as in tea or cocoa it isnt listed
among the ingredients.
Inthe case of energydrinks, manyare
sold as dietary supplements and dont
have to disclose caffeine levels if the in-
gredient is part of a proprietary blend.
Others say caffeine has been safely
consumedina variety of foods andbev-
erages for centuries. Many of the newly
caffeinated snacks are novelty items
targeting adults who want a quick pick-
me-up but dont like coffee.
Are caffeine
and kids
a safe mix?

The recent craze of adding caffeine
to a range of kid-friendly snack
foods is raising concern with the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
DALLAS Alzheimers disease is
on the rise, but researchers like Dr. Mi-
chael Devous expect the numbers to
shift into reverse.
I think were going to cure Alzheim-
ers disease, and were not far away from
it, said Devous, a professor and direc-
tor of the NeuroImaging Core for the
Alzheimers Disease Center at the Uni-
versity of Texas Southwestern Medical
Center.
Ten years ago I didnt think so, but
weve made tremendous progress, he
said. We havent done it. We havent
cured anyone from this disease yet, but
Im hopeful that the trials weve started
will change the course of this disease in
a positive way.
Its a rare burst of good news for this
specic disease. According to an April
study published in the New England
Journal of Medicine, Alzheimers, the
most common form of dementia or
memory loss that typically worsens
over time, is now the sixth-leading
cause of death in the United States.
It has surpassed cancer and heart
disease to become Americas costliest
disease, affecting more than 5.4 mil-
lion Americans with about 4.1 million
requiring intensive care that totals $200
billion a year. Patients live an average of
four to eight years after an Alzheimers
diagnosis, but some live as long as 20
years, with 75 percent of those with Al-
zheimers going to a nursing home by
age 80.
Current treatments may temporarily
ease symptoms but dont slow the dis-
ease down, which can lead to patients
losing recognition of loved ones, the
ability to speak or recall the names for
objects and mastery of simple life skills.
Researchers, however, nd hope in

It was once in the morn-
ing and once in the afternoon,
with six hours in between,
said Henderson, 58, who went
to the Henry Cancer Center for
the treatments.
It didnt hurt, Henderson
added.
If youve had a tooth extrac-
tion or a root canal, Id say they
were more painful than this
whole procedure, she said. It
wasnt really pain. It was more
like discomfort.
When its over you have a
Band-aid, she said. Thats
how small the incision is.
According to the American
Society of Breast Surgeons,
the criteria for having brachy-
therapy instead of external
beam radiation is that the pa-
tient should be 45 or older, the
tumor should be less than 3
centimeters in diameter, there
should be a clear margin of at
least 2 millimeters and the can-
cer should not have progressed
to the lymph nodes.
Breast cancer in younger
women tends to be more ag-
gressive, Blaum said, explain-
ing why the society wants
brachytherapy patients to be
older.
Studies have shown the rate
of cancer recurrence is about
the same for brachytherapy and
external beamradiation, Blaum
said. The benets of brachy-
therapy include the smaller
amount of time needed and the
fact that the skin is not subject
to potential burns from the ra-
diation.
The seeds are removed after
each treatment and, after the
nal treatment, the catheter is
removed as well.
One side effect of the brachy-
therapy is a chance of infection
at the entrance site because
the patient has an incision and
a foreign object inside her, but
she is given antibiotics to coun-
ter that, Blaum said.
Henderson said she was feel-
ing back to normal the week af-
ter her treatment. She returned
to her job at Mohegan Sun Ca-
sino in Plains Township and
recently enjoyed a vacation that
included dips in the ocean.
Im back to bowling, too,
she said.

Dr. Louis C. Blaum explains the benets of brachytherapy, in
which radioactive seeds are temporarily implanted into the
breast of a cancer patient.
WAYS TO REDUCE YOUR RISK
To reduce your risk of breast
cancer, Dr. Louis C. Blaum recom-
mends:
Consume a diet low in fat.
Maintain normal body weight
Exercise
Breastfeed your children
Have no more than 1 or 2 alco-
holic drinks a day.
three promising approaches:
healthful lifestyle changes, ge-
netic testing to identify those
at higher risk and removal of
amyloid plaque.
While the precise role of
plaque is still being studied,
its known that these deposits
of apparently toxic protein pep-
tide settle between the brains
nerve cells and are found dis-
proportionately in people with
Alzheimers, according to the
National Institutes of Health
National Institute on Aging.
Adding to the optimism
is the Texas Alzheimers Re-
search and Care Consortium,
which pools efforts from Texas
institutions, including Univer-
sity of Texas Southwestern
Medical Center at Dallas and
the University of North Texas
Health Science Center in Fort
Worth, and features collabora-
tive studies with the Univer-
sity of Texas at Dallas Center
for BrainHealth and Center for
Vital Longevity and the Cooper
Clinic in Dallas.
For Devous, the game chang-
er came last year with the Food
and Drug Administrations ap-
proval of Amyvid, an amyloid
imaging agent that allows re-
searchers to track plaque in
positron emission tomography
scans.
So far, hes learned that
plaque removal doesnt help
those in advanced stages of Al-
zheimers, probably because at
that point, the plaque already
has done irreversible damage.
That has turned his teams
focus to nding and removing
plaque from those who dont
have symptoms or are in the
early stages of the disease.
Theres a mild cognitive im-
pairment which precedes de-
mentia, Devous said. We are
having clinical trials to see if re-
moving plaque will keep them
from getting worse and maybe
even allow them to get better.
Lifestyle changes also can
slow or prevent the growth of
plaque, says Dr. Mary Quiceno,
a neurologist and director of
the Cognitive and Memory Dis-
orders Clinic at the Alzheimers
Disease Center at the Universi-
ty of Texas Southwestern.
Conversely, plaque buildup
can be accelerated by high
blood pressure, arterial sclero-
sis, strokes, clogged arteries,
concussions, inammation and
diabetes.
All of us are at risk, and all
of us can do something about
it, Quiceno said.
Underscoring a new under-
standing that whats good for
the heart is good for the brain,
an April study in the Archives
of Neurology found that those
who follow the Mediterranean
diet experience less blood ves-
sel damage in the brain than
those who consume red meats,
saturated fats and rened
grains.
Quiceno also said exercise is
also drawing attention from re-
searchers as a deterrent.
Exercise has a direct effect
on brain-cell growth, particularly
in the hippocampus, an area of
the brain that plays an important
role in memory, she said. Its
something we need to empha-
size earlier with our kids.
Those who are t at midlife
have a lower risk of developing
Alzheimers disease and other
dementias later, according to a
study that followed more than
19,000 men and women over a
period of 24 years, published in
the February Annals of Internal
Medicine by the Cooper Insti-
tute in collaboration with the
University of Texas Southwest-
ern and Cooper Clinic.
Getting adequate sleep, so-
cializing and building cognitive
reserve by learning new things
can lower the risk for Alzheim-
ers, too, Quiceno said.
TOP 5 TIPS FOR
BRAIN HEALTH
Talk: Socialization may help
preserve cognitive function and
improve mental health.
Think: Continuing to learn can
help improve processing speed,
working memory and attention.
Exercise: It stimulates brain-
cell growth and decreases risk for
high blood pressure and diabetes.
Eat: Put baked or broiled sh
on the menu at least once a week
for omega-3 essential fatty acids,
which prevent or slow dementia.
Sleep: It improves memories,
which consolidate during sleep,
and lowers stress.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I have
been with my fiance
for four years. He
is 32, Im 23. He is
Catholic and I am
Jewish. When I met
him, I wasnt reli-
gious, but since a trip
to Israel and studying under a rabbi, I
have become more religious.
I now keep kosher and try to be as
close to Orthodox as I can. I eventu-
ally want an Orthodox Jewish home
and for my children to be raised Jew-
ish. But every time I try to discuss
this with him, he nods his head and
says in a sarcastic tone, Uh-huh.
How can I ensure that he will live
and raise our children in an Orthodox
Jewish way?
Keeping Kosher in New York
Dear Keeping Kosher: Your fiance is
behaving as if he thinks you are going
through a phase rather than making
an actual commitment to becoming
Orthodox Jewish. If he had any inter-
est in raising his children in the Jew-
ish faith, he would have shown it by
asking questions and trying to learn
more about what that would entail.
The only guarantee I can offer that
your children will be raised Orthodox
Jewish would be for you to marry a
man who feels similarly.
Dear Abby: My wife is the best thing
that ever happened to me. After 34
years together she is still the love of
my life. How can I express this?
I have done the usual things over
the years: candy, flowers, presents. I
give cards, but I am not a wordsmith.
I love her so much I dont know if it is
even possible to express it with words
or gifts, but still I try.
Do you have any suggestions on
how I can convey my love to this
wonderful woman who I call my wife?
Speechless in Ohio
Dear Speechless: You dont have to
be a wordsmith to say I love you
when she awakens in the morning
and repeat it as she goes to sleep each
night. Flowers, candy and presents
are demonstrations of your love, but
just as meaningful can be something
as simple as holding her hand when
you walk together and turning up the
thermostat when shes chilly even
if you arent.
Dear Abby: May I vent about some-
thing? It really irritates me when
people write to you and blame a bad
childhood on how they turned out.
I didnt have the best childhood. I
was molested by my moms second
husband, was on my own at 15, and
pregnant at 16 and again at 17.
I wasnt on welfare when I had my
kids I have worked and supported
them by myself from day one. Dont
get me wrong: Im not bragging. But
I had a tough time growing up. Now,
at 33, I have two beautiful daughters
who turned out well. I also have a
good job and a fiance who loves us.
We are who we make ourselves
become. I get so tired of hearing
about people who kill, people who
are strung out on drugs, and people
in general who blame everything on
when they were kids and how bad
they had it.
Doing Just Fine in Texas
Dear Doing Just Fine: You are en-
titled to vent; thats what Im here for.
I commend you for your determina-
tion, resilience and resourcefulness in
dealing with the challenges you faced
while growing up.

To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There is
such a thing as being too giving
or, more likely, giving the right
amount but to the wrong person.
You have a good heart, but dont
let that blind you to whats bad
in people.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Hearing an apology will bring a
weird satisfaction that verges
on happiness. Maybe its nice to
know that other people make
mistakes, too.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Knowing
who you are is kind of beside the
point today, because youre too
busy unselfconsciously proving
the point with every successful
action. You have officially gotten
out of your own way.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
ask astute questions. You could
catch someone off guard, and
this is good youll get an hon-
est answer. What you learn about
the past will help you feel differ-
ently about the present.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Theres
something you need to put out
of your mind because its taking
up too much of your energy, and
theres nothing you can do about
it today. Dont think, wonder or
obsess. Focus elsewhere.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youll
make something without worry-
ing about whether anyone cares.
Youre doing it for you, for the
joy of putting things together,
just because. Today this action
will open the door of destiny.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will
be repaid for the time you put
into your body. But the mental
benefits of exercise cannot be
stressed enough. Get in a
workout. Your brain needs it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A
relationship may hit a strange,
rocky passage, but keep a sure
footing and move quickly along
to smoother junctures. You cant
stumble over something if its
behind you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Your attention is a precious
commodity, and its yours to
appropriate in the way you see
fit. Your interest doesnt have
to become your childs or your
partners interest, but it will cer-
tainly help if others respect it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Theres something about a cur-
rent trend that suits you, and
youre likely to hop right on
board. Just remember that if
you follow the crowd, youll likely
end up in a crowded place.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
There is quite a lot of coming
and going these days a loved
one leaves and another returns.
Your heart sends warm wishes
and welcoming affection while
your head tries to roll with the
changes.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Thunderstorms are powerful and
frightening but mercifully brief.
Remember that a dark cloud cur-
rently on the horizon will soon
pass over you, and the sun isnt
far behind.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (June 18).
Youre decisive and quick quali-
ties youll use at key moments
this year. You know when its
right to handle things first and
ask questions later. A strange
coincidence in July becomes
the opening to a love story. Your
lucky numbers are: 24, 3, 11, 17
and 32.

RICE TOWNSHIP ORDINANCE NUMBER -2013
AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF RICE DE-CERTIFYING AND REMOVING THE AUTHORITY OF
THE RICE TOWNSHIP VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY AS THE OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED FIRE COM-
PANY TO PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION AND RELATED SERVICES TO AND WITHIN RICE TOWNSHIP;
WITHHOLDING RICE TOWNSHIP CONTRIBUTIONS INCLUDING FUNDS FROM THE COMMON-
WEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA TO THE RICE TOWNSHIP VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY; CERTIFYING AND
RECOGNIZING THE WRIGHT TOWNSHIP VOLUNTEER FIREMANS ASSOCIATION AS THE OFFICIALLY RECOG-
NIZED FIRE COMPANY TO PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION AND RELATED SERVICES TO AND WITHIN RICE
TOWNSHIP; AND PROVIDING FOR A CONTRACT FOR FIRE SERVICES BETWEEN RICE TOWNSHIP AND
WRIGHT TOWNSHIP VOLUNTEER FIREMANS ASSOCIATION.
WHEREAS, Rice Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, is a duly organized and operating Township of the
second class and thereby governed by the Pennsylvania Second Class Township Code;
WHEREAS, the Rice Township Board of Supervisors has an obligation to provide fire and emergency serv-
ices to all of the residents of Rice Township pursuant to 1553 of the Second Class Township Code, 53 Pa.
C. S. 66553, which states that: The township shall be responsible for ensuring that fire and emergency
medical services are provided within the township by the means and to the extent determined by the town-
ship, including the appropriate financial and administrative assistance for these services.; WHEREAS, the
Rice Township Board of Supervisors may provide for fire protection within the Township pursuant to Section
1801 of the Second Class Township Code, 53 Pa. C. S. 66801;
WHEREAS, the Rice Township Board of Supervisors may by ordinance make rules and regulations for the
government of government of fire companies pursuant to 1803 (b) of the Second Class Township Code, 53
Pa. C. S. 66803 (b); WHEREAS, the ability of the Rice Township Volunteer Fire Company (hereinafter
referred to as the RTVFC) to provide adequate fire and emergency services to all of the citizens of Rice
Township has been compromised by: (1) a lack of adequately trained and qualified individuals residing in Rice
Township and adjacent municipalities volunteering and joining the RTVFC; (2) financial mismanagement
occurring prior to the current management of the RTVFC which has resulted in a criminal charge against a
prior Chief of the RTVFC; (3) violations of the December, 2011 contract between Rice Township Supervisors,
Rice Township Firemans Relief Association, and the Rice Township Volunteer Fire Company, specifically:
member operation of fire vehicles and equipment without proper licensing; failure to dismiss a member found
guilty of driving while intoxicated; allowing members who are under the age of 18 to drive fire trucks in viola-
tion of Rice Township Ordinances; (4) illegal burning of refuse on fire company property in Rice Township; and
(5) failure to maintain fire department property in Rice Township to the extent that the main building no longer
meets the requirements of Luzerne County Voter Services to serve as a polling place during elections;
WHEREAS, the Rice Township Board of Supervisors has had executive sessions and numerous meetings
with the RTVFC to assist and aid the RTVFC in resolving the above referenced problems;
WHEREAS, the current Chief of the RTVFC, although having corrected the financial failings of the prior
management of the RTVFC, has admitted in response to a direct question from the Rice Township Supervi-
sors that as of right now on certain days the RTVFC would have trouble meeting the demands of fire and
emergency services for all the residents of Rice Township;
WHEREAS, the demand for fire and emergency services in Rice Township is of an ongoing and urgent nature
requiring immediate adequate service and does not leave the Rice Township Supervisors in a position to be
able to allow the RTVFC time to improve its abilities and services through training and other means;
WHEREAS, the Wright Township Volunteer Firemans Association (hereinafter the WTVFA) is willing and
able to service the fire and emergency services needs of all residents of Rice Township as Rice Townships
certified fire department and sole fire and emergency services provider and its members are highly trained
and qualified to do so;
WHEREAS, the WTVFA has agreed to absorb into the WTVFA current members of the RTVFC if they qualify
and are accepted by the WTVFA members and to work to merge the RTVFC into the WTVFA pending a review
of the assets and liabilities of the RTVFC to completed within 120 days of this Ordinance, it being expressly
understood that the WTVFA will not take on any current liabilities or debts of RTVFC; WHEREAS, the Super-
visors have conferred with local government experts andvolunteer fire company experts who have
expressed the opinion that a timely subsuming of the RTVFC into the WTVFA is the most efficient and effec-
tive way to preserve the assets of the RTVFC and at the same time provide immediate, qualified, and effec-
tive fire and emergency services to the residents of Rice Township;
WHEREAS, the Rice Township Board of Supervisors have been advised that it would be in the best interests
of the Township to suspend direct monetary contributions to the RTVFC and to make any payments deemed
necessary to preserve assets of the RTVFC directly to the appropriate creditors of RTVFC;
WHEREAS, the Rice Township Board of Supervisors recognizes that funding for fire and emergency servic-
es provided by the WTVFA will have to be provided to the WTFVA and that Rice Township will have to reim-
burse Wright Township for a portion of the share of the cost of workers compensation insurance premiums
covering the members of the WTFVA pursuant to Section 602 (a) of the Pennsylvania Workers Compensa-
tion Act, 77 Pa. C.S. 1032;
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDAINED AND ENACTED BY THE
RICE TOWNSHIP BOARD OF SUPERVISORS THAT:
SECTION 1 - THE RICE TOWNSHIP VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY is de-certified as the officially recog-
nized fire department for Rice Township and no longer recognized as having any authority to provide fire pro-
tection and other services within the confines of RiceTownship for the reasons set forth above.
SECTION 2 - Rice Township will effective immediately cease all monetary and other contributions to THE
RICE TOWNSHIP VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY, including funds provided by the Commonwealth of Pennsylva-
nia for the THE RICE TOWNSHIP VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY (Relief Association funding), with the exception
