Luzerne County has of-
cially renamed its senior cen-
ters active adult centers as
part of a push to attract baby
boomers who have turned
60.
This image change
includes more welcom-
ing designs at the countys
newest leased centers in
Dallas and Kingston, Aging
Director Trula Hollywood
said Monday.
Were slowly changing
the way the centers look.
Were trying to get centers
to feel comfortable, more of a
homey, cafe style not insti-
tutional, Hollywood said.
A Zumba exercise pro-
gram was set up to bring in
younger seniors, she said.
Hollywood plans to start lit-
erary discussions on new or
classic books at centers and
envisions a big-screen TV at
each center with members
engaged in Wii games such
as golf or tennis.
We will still have bingo,
but there will be other
activities going on at once,
Hollywood said.

Eleven-month-old Sam Gomelko of Kingston cools off in the Kingston pool with his mom, Abby, on Monday afternoon as temperatures
hovered in the 90s. Highs are expected to remain in the 90s all week, as a heatwave settles over Northeastern Pennsylvania and all the
northern states. See Page 10A for the complete forecast.
Sweating the details of this weeks heat
STEVE MOCARSKY
smocarsky@timesleader.com
In case you havent heard
maybe because youve
been laying low in your air-
conditioned house watch-
ing holiday movies and
wishing for Christmas in
July this whole week
will be a scorcher.
The temperature
probably wont hit
100 in Northeastern
Pennsylvania, but it could
feel like it given the humid-
ity, so Mr. Heat Miser (aka
Mr. Heat Blister and Mr.
101), that grumpy hot-
head from the childrens
TV Christmas special
The Year Without a Santa
Claus, would probably
enjoy a vacation here.
WNEP-TV Channel 16
Chief Meteorologist Tom
Clark is predicting temper-
atures in the 90s all week
long, noting that at least
three or more consecutive
days with a high tempera-
ture at 90 or above consti-
tutes a heatwave.
And when you factor in
the humidity, it can feel like
its near 100, Clark said,
referring to the heat index.
Its not really the danger
level, but it is the caution-
ary level. You need to get
over 105 on the heat index
to be in the danger level,
but we could reach 95 to
100 this week on the heat
index. Be careful, take it
easy. Muscle cramps, diz-
ziness and heat stroke can
come on if you over-exert
yourself in this kind of
heat, Clark said.
You know its going to
be bad when municipal
employees show up for
work at 5:30 in the morn-
ing when theres no snow
on the ground, and thats
the case in Kingston.
The municipality issued
a press release Monday
alerting residents that
the Department of Public
Works will operate from
5:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. today
through Friday due to the
excessive heat. Residents
are advised to place gar-
bage and recyclables curb-
side the night before their
scheduled pickup.
The reason for the heat-
wave, Clark said, is that
the jet stream has shifted
north into Canada, allow-
ing this big dome of
hot air to sit right over
Pennsylvania and the
entire Northeastern United
States, really. Its just going
to sit here this week and
not get dislodged until this
weekend when a cold front
comes down fromCanada.
The heatwave should be
over by Sunday, but not
before that, Clark said.
He said theres a better
chance for a thunderstorm
later in the week, which
some folks might welcome.
It will temporarily
(lower the temperature) in
those areas that get a thun-
derstorm because they can
act as atmospheric thermo-
stats, lowering the temper-
ature 15 degrees in a mat-
ter of minutes.
Clark said the highest
July temperature on record
locally was 103 degrees in
1936, and that record is not
likely to be broken this year.
But we might be
approaching record levels
later this week, especially
Wednesday and Friday,
Clark said. Record highs
for July 17 and July 19 are
96 and 95 degrees, respec-
tively.
It seems to get about
this hot every year, but this
year could stand out for the
length of the hot weather,
Clark said.
Expect highs in
the 90s and take
precautions, area

WILKES-BARRE
Demolition of the shuttered
Hotel Sterling is set to begin
July 25, an ofcial with the state
Department of Environmental
Protection said.
Colleen Connolly, DEP com-
munity relations coordina-
tor, said contractor Brdaric
Construction Co. of Luzerne
led a 10-day notice of demoli-
tion Monday with the agency in
Harrisburg.
The demolition is expected
to take 60 days. City spokes-
woman Liza Prokop said City
Council would have to approve
any extensions of work beyond
that date, but barring unfore-
seen circumstances, we dont
expect that to happen.
Road closures and other
logistical details related to the
work are yet to be determined,
Prokop said.
Mayor Tom Leighton said
it will be a sad day when the
building comes down.
But the community will ulti-
mately realize the benets of
a redeveloped site, Leighton
said. Its taken a long time to
come to this point, but soon the
detour can be lifted and trafc
patterns will return to normal.
Work crews from Brdaric
Construction Co.s Buck
Mountain Quarry in
Swoyersville started moving
equipment and putting up
fencing around the 115-year-
old landmark to begin demoli-
tion later this month. Brdaric
Construction of Luzerne will
do the demolition for $419,000.

Wyoming Area School
District teacher contract
negotiations may have
come to the front page
in recent weeks, thanks
mostly to the union
announcement of plans
to strike Sept. 3, but the
West Side district is just
one of many with unions
and school boards hash-
ing out deals as a new
school year approaches.
When the union gave
the school board ofcial
notice of the planned
strike last month,
Wyoming Area union
President Melissa Dolman
said the strike was set
in hopes of breaking the
stalemate in discussions,
and that the picket lines
may not materialize if
substantial headway is
made in negotiations.
Wyoming Area teachers
have worked under the
terms of a contract that
expired Aug. 31, 2010,
and havent been receiv-
ing raises. As a result,
their average pay has
slipped from fth highest
among Luzerne Countys
11 districts to lowest.
Similar stagnant pay is
possible for seven other
teacher unions in Luzerne
County. As the new school
year approaches, teacher
contract negotiations
are under way at greater
Nanticoke Area, Hanover
Area, Hazleton Area,
Wyoming Area, Wilkes-
Barre Area, the Wilkes-
Barre Area Career and
Technology Center and
the Luzerne Intermediate
Unit.
The last two are multi-
district entities.

Pennsylvanias pending
voter-identication law
one of the strictest in
the nation would turn
the right to vote into a
privilege and disenfran-
chise a large number of
voters, an attorney for the
plaintiffs said as a trial on
a constitutional challenge
got underway Monday.
The lawyer, Michael
Rubin, charged that
the Republican major-
ity in the Legislature and
goP gov. Tom Corbett
rebuffed suggested chang-
es to accommodate the
special needs of certain
groups, such as older peo-
ple with limited mobil-
ity, in obtaining a photo
ID that the law requires
all voters to show at the
polls before they may cast
ballots.
Faced with a choice,
almost invariably they
chose to make it harder,
Rubin, a Washington
attorney who is a mem-
ber of the plaintiffs legal
team, told Judge Bernard
Mcginley.
Senior Deputy Attorney
general Timothy Keating
argued the plaintiffs, who
include the Pennsylvania
League of Women
Voters, the NAACP and
Philadelphias Homeless
Advocacy Project, lack
the evidence to overturn
the law.
In Pennsylvania, a
law approved by the
Legislature is presumed
to be constitutional

that it clearly, palpa-
bly and plainly violates

Area man charged with homicide byvehicle
EDWARD LEWIS
elewis@timesleader.com
NANTICOKE State
police at Wyoming arrest-
ed a Hunlock Township
man Monday on allega-
tions he caused the hit-
and-run death of a bicyclist
in Plymouth Township in
August.
Matthew Perkins, 20,
of Hartman Road, was
charged with homicide
by vehicle, involuntary
manslaughter, accidents
involving death and a traf-
c citation. He was jailed
at the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility for
lack of $100,000 bail after
he was arraigned Monday
afternoon.
State police at Wyoming
allege Perkins, driving a
2007 Saab, struck Richard
Stadts, 73, along Route
11 in West Nanticoke,
Plymouth Township, on
Aug. 7. Stadts died Aug.
8 at Geisinger Wyoming
Valley Medical Center.
Stadts was riding a bicy-
cle in the area of Stookeys
Restaurant when he was
struck.
Perkins was found at his
residence. His Saab had
a missing passenger-side
mirror. Evidence found
at the scene of the fatal
crash matched damage to
Perkins Saab, according
to a search warrant afda-
vit.
A motorist told state
police he had to swerve
to avoid being struck by
the Saab as it approached
him from behind near the
intersection of Route 29.
Another motorist wrote
down the Saabs license
plate number when the
two cars stopped at a traf-
c signal, the search war-
rant afdavit says.
When the witness later
drove through the area,
seeing paramedics and
state police at the scene,
he provided the license
plate number to a trooper,
which led to the discovery
of the Saab, according to
the afdavit.
Perkins was also
arraigned on unrelated
charges of driving under
the inuence of a con-
trolled substance and
three trafc violations
stemming from a trafc
stop by state police on
Jan. 2.
Court records say
Perkins is facing other
unrelated charges in
county court by Kingston
Township police of driv-
ing under the inuence
of marijuana on Aug. 18,
2012, and possession of
heroin and trespassing by
Wilkes-Barre police who
stopped him leaving an
apartment complex on
Coal Street on Feb. 9.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on July 24.

Lake-Lehman superintendent given a raise by board
SUSAN DENNEY
Times Leader Correspondent
LEHMAN TWP. Lake-
Lehman Superintendent James
McGovern was granted a
3.5 percent raise at Monday
nights school board meeting.
Board members Bo Kreller and
James Welby were absent. The
board members who were pres-
ent voted unanimously in favor of
the raise.
In 2012, the board approved a
3.5 percent raise for McGovern,
changing his annual salary to
$116,763.
In other action, the board
voted to hire the following junior-
senior high teachers for the 2013-
14 school year: Elena Pellegrini,
William Evans and Dianne
Figura. Erica Slocum, Laura
DePrimo and Amanda Dudish
were hired as new elementary
school teachers.
Amber Costello spoke to the
board about her service to the
district over the past four years,
which has included ve long-term
substitute positions. She said she
had made it to the nal round of
hiring for the past three years but
was not hired again this year.
We teach our kids that if you
are dedicated and if you give your
all you will persevere and you will
make it, she said. She said she
wanted to know why her name
had been swept underneath the
rug.
Board member Walter
Glogowski suggested that
Costello meet with McGovern to
discuss the districts hiring prac-
tices, and McGovern agreed to
do that.
Sharon Barto expressed frus-
tration that her seventh-grade
daughter was sent home from
school with an injured nger.
Barto said she was upset that
she hadnt been called about
the injury and her daughter had
been sent home on the bus by the
school nurse.
The only thing I was looking
for was a phone call, Barto said.
The day of the injury, Barto
came to school to speak to
Principal Doug Klopp. Barto told
the board, To me he was very
offensive.
Barto had wanted to speak
with the superintendent about
this but felt that she had been
ignored by him.
McGovern and his secretary
replied to her concerns, saying
they had both been on vacation.
Barto and McGovern have a
meeting scheduled on Friday.
The board will next meet at 7
p.m. Aug. 19 in the library of the
Junior-Senior High School.
Lehman Twp. awards bid for paving work
LEHMAN TWP. The
Board of Supervisors awarded
a paving contract Monday
for $140,324 to Asphalt
Maintenance Solutions, which
was the only bid received.
Roadmaster Doug Ide said
the project includes paving
a portion of Jackson Road, a
portion of Fedor Road up to
Mountain View Road, all of
Mountain View Road, a por-
tion of Old Route 115 to Market
Street and Market Street up to
Route 118.
In other business, Supervisor
Ray Iwanoski announced work
to renovate the new Back
Mountain Regional Emergency
Management Agency building
is ready or bid.
The project, which is being
funded by two gaming grants,
includes constructing a build-
ing where the EMS trailers will
be housed, restorative work
on the main building and the
addition of a meeting/training
room. The facility is located
adjacent to the Luzerne County
Fairgrounds.
I think this is a positive step
for Lehman Township, said
Iwanoski. It is centrally located
and its state-of-the-art.
The board voted to appoint
Brian Doran as a full-time
member of the Zoning Hearing
Board and Bob Margellina as
an alternate. The next Board of
Supervisors meeting will be at
7 p.m. Aug. 19.
Forty Fort makes hires, code ofcer bows out
STEVE MOCARSKY
smocarsky@timesleader.com
FORTY FORT Borough
council on Monday voted to hire
two part-time police ofcers, buy
a new police vehicle, accept the
resignation of Code Enforcement
Ofcer Steve Nowroski and
advertise for a new code ofcer
as well as seek proposals for a
third-party contractor to perform
code enforcement duties.
After the meeting, Nowroski
said his resignation, which
becomes effective in two weeks,
did absolutely not have any-
thing to do with an investigation
that council voted to initiate into
the code department at a meet-
ing two weeks ago. He said he
began sending out resumes ve
or six weeks ago and accepted a
better job offer. He declined to
identify his new future employer.
Council had hired attorney
John G. Dean at an hourly rate
of $165 with a maximum cost
of $4,000 to investigate allega-
tions that a political gure was
receiving preferential treatment
from the code ofce. Besides
Nowroski, there are two other
code enforcement employees.
During the meeting, council
President Joe Chacke thanked
Nowroski for his nearly seven
years of service.
Council also voted to notify
Kingston and Wyoming ofcials
and terminate the code enforce-
ment agreements with those bor-
oughs.
Although council voted down
the purchase of a 2013 Ford
Expedition SUV for the police
department two weeks ago,
council approved the $40,500
purchase on Monday with a
stipulation capping the number
of miles that the vehicle can be
driven annually at 22,500 to pre-
vent overuse and a premature
death.
Chief Daniel Hunsinger said
$6,000 seized in a drug bust
will cover the down payment
and he wants to sell a two older
vehicles that are nearly shot. The
new Expedition will join a 2011
Ford Crown Victoria with 25,000
miles on it and a 2010 Dodge
Charger that has 85,000 miles on
it and has been breaking down a
lot.
The hire of two part-time of-
cers one of whom works for
Exeter police and the other a
retired Kingston police ofcer
was approved pending their
successful completion of back-
ground checks and other require-
ments.
Councilman Frank Michaels
said he recently attended a con-
ference at which an attorney,
who spoke on municipal hiring
practices, recommended that
municipalities conduct criminal,
medical, nancial and psycho-
logical background checks on all
administrative/supervisory job
candidates.
Michaels tried making a
motion to have the borough
begin this practice in the near
future, but it was quickly met
with concerns from Robert Craig
and Karen Martinelli, who ques-
tioned whether it could actually
put the borough at greater legal
risk as well as the cost.
Chacke said its now com-
mon for employers to make such
checks, noting that his current
employer made them before he
was hired, and there was nothing
illegal or unconstitutional about
requiring them as a condition of
employment.
Michaels said he had no prob-
lem with the borough manager
checking on the potential costs
before putting it to a vote.
Craig noted after the meeting
that Families for Forty Fort Park
group is seeking volunteers for
upcoming events. Anyone inter-
ested should try to attend a meet-
ing at 7:30 tonight at the park.
POLICE BLOTTER
HAZLETON City police are
investigating the suspicious death of a
29-year-old man.

patched to 441 E. 6th St. at about 12:51
p.m. Saturday for a report of an unre-
sponsive male. There, they found the
body of Rafael Lange.
Police said the death was unattended
and there were circumstances that
aroused police suspicion.
Police obtained a search warrant
and conducted a search of the property
before Langes body was removed.
An autopsy was performed on
Langes body Monday at Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital, and the cause and
manner of his death remain under
investigation.
City police are asking that anyone
with information about the facts and
circumstances surrounding Langes
death to contact city Detective David
Rodick by calling 911. In particular,

night through Saturday.
BUTLER TWP. Two people were
seriously injured in a head-on vehicle
crash on North Hunter Highway (state
Route 309) on Sunday.
Police said Stephen Furedi, 27, of
Pittston, driving a 2001 Jeep, was trav-
eling north on North Hunter Highway
and struck head-on a 2008 Buick, driv-
en by Tammy R. Hiller, 55, of Mountain
Top, at about 1 p.m.
Furedi was taken to Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Center in
Plains Township, where he was listed in
critical condition on Monday.
Harris was transported to Hazleton
General Hospital. A condition for
Harris could not be obtained.
Police said North Hunter Highway
was closed for about three hours.
HAZLETON City police reported
the following:
- Shelia Thompson, of West Maple
Street, reported Monday the drivers
side window on her vehicle was
smashed.
- Several boxes and bags were stolen
during a burglary of a house in the 700
block of North James Street on Monday.
Charter schools board continues school design process
JANINE UNGVARSKY
BEAR CREEK TWP. The
new Bear Creek Community
Charter School construction
project continues to dominate
the agenda for the schools board
of trustees as they continue to
work through the design process.
At a meeting Monday, the
board once again heard from
representatives from Hemmler
+ Camayd, architects for the
project. Tom Gercak reviewed
the newest plans for the school,
which incorporated board
and staff input from previous
meetings.
The revised plans trim the
project from 64,225 square
feet to 62,600 square feet, and
include proposed revisions to
the placement of the canopy
over the front door, the reduc-
tion of some bump out alter-
native learning spaces in some
hallways and a reduction in the
number of windows throughout
the building, Gercak said.
The board also discussed a
request for a 30 percent increase
in the architects fees. Hemmler
+ Camayd made the request for
an additional $120,000 based
on the additional time required
to revamp the project after the
preliminary construction cost
estimates came in signicantly
over budget.
Board members expressed
concern about the way the
fee increase was calculated,
and the architects agreed
to reconsider options for
the proposed increase.
In personnel-related matters,
the board approved the transfer
of Mary Kasper from full-time,
12-month Title I paraprofession-
al to a full-time, 10-month posi-
tion. It also eliminated a full-time
Title I paraprofessional position
effective July 1 .
The board accepted the res-
ignation of Ryan Berry and
approved the hiring of Maura
Narkiewicz as a full-time art
teacher/enrichment support
professional at an annual salary
of $33,000, plus benets. The
trustees also approved salary
increases totaling $71,106 for
the schools 67 employees.
In other business, the board
approved an agreement with
Murphy, Dougherty & Co. for
the completion of the 2012-13
independent audit at an amount
not to exceed $11,250, and
approved revisions to the sec-
tions of the student handbook
pertaining to the grading struc-
ture and the policy on student
tardiness.

Elegant touch for a W-B intersection
Pittston area to see $1.3Min water upgrades
ANDREWM. SEDER
aseder@timesleader.com
PITTSTONPennsylvania
American Water soon will
begin work on a main replace-
ment project that will cost
about $1.3 million in Pittston
and West Pittston.
The work, which gets under
way the last week of this
month, includes the replace-
ment of more than 9,000 feet
of aging pipe to improve reli-
ability for customers, reduce
service disruptions and
increase water ows for re-
ghting.
Crews will install new
8-inch ductile-iron pipe that
replaces existing 4- and 6-inch
cast-iron pipes that date as
far back as the 1920s. The
Pittston streets that will have
the new piping installed under
them are:
Dock Street
Water Street
New Street
West Street
River Street
Morgan Lane
In addition, 2,800 feet of
new pipe will be installed
along Ann and Elm streets
in West Pittston. The project
also involves replacing four
re hydrants in Pittston and
West Pittston.
To ensure that we contin-
ue to provide reliable water
service to our customers, we
need to reinvest in the local
water infrastructure, particu-
larly the areas where nearly
100-year old pipeline needs
to be replaced, said Anthony
Gangemi, superintendent of
eld services for Pennsylvania
American Water.
Construction will take place
between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Monday through Friday. The
company expects to complete
the installation, including
transfer of all customer ser-
vices and nal paving restora-
tion, by the end of September.
Its been a busy year for the
utility company in Luzerne
County. Including this proj-
ect, main replacement has
or will be undertaken under
streets in 15 municipalities
this year from the Pittston to
the West Side to Mountain
Top. Altogether those projects
replace 36,145 feet of anti-
quated pipe at a cost of $5.9
million.
Corbett: Gas-line
project fuels jobs
BILL OBOYLE
boboyle@timesleader.com
SWIFTWATER Gov. Tom
Corbett said Mondays announce-
ment to extend the Route 6/11
Corridor Natural Gas Line is about
creating and attracting jobs but, more
important, he said its about retain-
ing jobs already in Pennsylvania.
Corbett visited the campus of
Sano Pasteur, the vaccines divi-
sion of Sano in Monroe County,
to announce the $5 million exten-
sion project, made possible in part
through the recent release of a $5
million Economic Growth Initiative
grant.
While Corbett said the project
is expected to boost job creation
and retention in the Northeast
Pennsylvania region, he said by low-
ering utility costs to large employers
such as the vaccine maker the 2,000
jobs at the Swiftwater facility plus
500 contractor positions are likely
to stay.
By increasing the availability of
low-cost, domestic natural gas we
help communities thrive, business
to be competitive and improve qual-
ity of life for all residents, Corbett
said. This project helps to retain
the more than 2,500 jobs currently
at Sano Pasteur, while leading to
additional job creation in the area
through pipeline construction and
business growth.
Corbett said that once completed,
the line will provide natural gas ser-
vice to Sano Pasteur and other area
employers. Sano Pasteur is now
connected to the line and using natu-
ral gas.
The total cost of the project is esti-
mated to be about $12.7 million, with
the balance coming from private and
local sources. Corbett said benets
to businesses include reduced energy
costs, which increases competitive-
ness.
Critical infrastructure
Investing in critical infrastruc-
ture will ensure they remain a
xture in this region, employing
Pennsylvanians for many years to
come, Corbett said. The lack of
natural gas service in industrial areas
has become a critical deterrent to
industries and employers seeking to
locate and expand operations within
Monroe County.
Corbett said that when he went on
trade missions to France, Germany
and South America, the biggest sell-
ing points for Pennsylvania were
location and energy.
We have been saying now for a
long time energy equals jobs, he
said. Pennsylvania alone is the 20th
largest economy in the world.
On another issue, Corbett said
the state must take care of its trans-
portation system, saying some
Democrats need to vote with the
Republican majority.
These roads, after all, arent there
for members of one political party,
he said.
He also reiterated his push to priva-
tize the states liquor system and to
reform the state pension system. He
said he is looking forward to the fall
legislative session.
I intend to get together with leg-
islative leaders and remind them that
were not in Harrisburg to almost get
things done, he said. The people
sent us there to nish the task.
State Rep. Mario Scavello,
R-Mount Pocono, said donations
from Sano Pasteur and its employ-
ees are responsible for one-third of
the Monroe County United Way.
Sano Pasteur has been a good
neighbor and our largest employer,
he said.

PittstonTwp.
board denies
zoning change
for facility
GERI GIBBONS
PITTSTON TWP. Nancy
Verespy voiced her disappointment
Monday night with Pittston Township
supervisors refusal to rezone town-
ship property to make it available for
use as a transitional living facility for
elderly and homeless veterans.
The board unanimously voted
against changing its zoning ordi-
nance to allow for the facility.
I believe that the use of the prop-
erty at 755 S. Township Blvd. to pro-
vide a home for homeless veterans
would benet the township, and it
would be the right thing to do, said
Verespy, national board member and
international executive director of
the Veterans Coalition.
She said the facility would
have been well-staffed and residents
would have been screened and moni-
tored.
She characterized potential resi-
dents of the facility as being needy
and grateful, and said safeguards
such as drug testing and counseling
would have been implemented.
Her organization, along with the
Veterans of Vietnam War, requested
an exception to the ordinance from
the zoning board and the supervisors
in April.
Except for Mr. Rinaldi, I never
even got a call back during the whole
process, said Verespy, referring
to Supervisor Steve Rinaldi. This
issue could have been more easily
resolved.
But resident James Marotto, him-
self a veteran, agreed with the boards
decision.
Ive never seen a homeless veteran
in Pittston Township and Ive never
tripped over one, said Marotto.
I believe residents of such a facil-
ity would be likely to have drug and
alcohol issues, and possible mental
illness.
Bill Scott, a member of the plan-
ning commission and a 20-year veter-
an, said the township was not against
welcoming veterans, but he stressed
the zoning issue.
The location was zoned for B2
(industrial) use, said Scott. We
werent ready to change the ordi-
nance. There are other properties in
the township which are suitable for
such a use.
There are 660 acres appropriately
zoned such a facility, said Rinaldi.
There no reason to make an excep-
tion in this case, he said.
Zoning Ofcer Terry Best said
allowing use of the property for the
veterans facility would have set a
bad precedent and was just not nec-
essary.
In another matter, the board award-
ed the general construction contract
for its police building to Quandel
Contractors, using a coin toss, for
$115,000.
Board members indicated they had
contacted the state and this was a
permissible way of deciding between
very similar bids.
The board also approved Scott
Allen, SDA Architects to oversee that
project.
The next meeting of the Board of
Supervisors will be at 7 p.m. on Aug.
19.

Gay marriage bill
clears hurdle in
United Kingdom
Britains gay marriage bill has
cleared its last major challenge, pass-
ing through the House of Lords and
prompting celebrations from cam-
paigners outside Parliament.
Supporters of the bill in
Parliaments upper house wore pink
carnations Monday as the Lords
agreed to send it back to the House
of Commons, where lawmakers will
review government amendments
before it becomes law.
That is expected to go without a
hitch, as the House of Commons ear-
lier passed the bill 390 to 148.
The bill will enable gay couples
to get married in both civil and
religious ceremonies in England
and Wales, though the Church of
England, which is divided on the
issue, is barred from offering same-
sex ceremonies.
HARTFORD, CONN.
UConn prof under
investigation
A University of Connecticut music
professor is under investigation
by police amid decades-old allega-
tions of sexual misconduct and child
molestation.
UConn ofcials announced the
investigations of 66-year-old Robert
Miller on Monday. He hasnt been
charged with any crime. He was
placed on administrative leave on
June 21 and barred from campus.
Ofcials say a student told a fac-
ulty member that Miller had sex with
UConn students, visited freshman
dorms and provided drugs to students.
And a state police search warrant
says ve men allege Miller molested
them when they were 10 to 13 years
old and attending a camp for ill chil-
dren, where Miller was a counselor.
PHILADELPHIA
Nonproft takes
over 14 Catholic
schools
Fourteen Roman Catholic elemen-
tary schools in the Philadelphia
region are now being operated by a
nonprot group that has pledged to
better manage the facilities while
still retaining their Catholic values
and identity, ofcials said Monday.
Archbishop Charles Chaput
announced the agreement with
Independence Mission Schools at
a ceremonial signing event at St.
Gabriel School in south Philadelphia.
The cash-strapped parishes that
previously operated the schools have
been unable to keep up with rising
costs, church ofcials said.
The pool of students for Catholic
schools has eroded in part because
of tuition increases, shifting demo-
graphics and a rise in charter
schools. But in many poor neighbor-
hoods, parochial education is seen
as a haven from public schools that
many parents consider less safe and
academically inferior.

Journalist: Snowden hasblueprints to NSA
Asiana to sue San Francisco TVstation over names
The Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea
Asiana announced Monday
that it will sue a San
Francisco TV station that it
said damaged the airlines
reputation by using bogus
and racially offensive names
for four pilots on a plane that
crashed earlier this month in
San Francisco.
An anchor for KTVU-TV
read the names on the air
Friday and then apologized
after a break. The report was
accompanied by a graphic
with the phony names list-
ed alongside a photo of the
burned-out plane that had
crashed at San Francisco
International Airport on July
6, killing three and injuring
dozens.
Videoof thereport has spread
widely across the Internet since
it was broadcast.
The National Transp-
ortation Safety Board has
also apologized, saying a
summer intern erroneously
conrmed the names of the
ight crew.
Asiana has decided to
sue KTVU-TV to strongly
respond to its racially dis-
criminatory report that
disparaged Asians, Asiana
spokeswoman Lee Hyomin
said. She said the airline will
likely le suit in U.S. courts.
She said the report seri-
ously damaged Asianas
reputation. Asiana decided
not to sue the NTSB because
it said it was the TV station
report, not the U.S. federal
agency that damaged the air-
lines reputation. Lee did not
elaborate.
Tom Raponi, KTVU Vice
President & General Manager,
said in a statement that KTVU
would not be making any fur-
ther comment because of the
airlines threat of a lawsuit.
Neither the station nor the
NTSB has said where the
names originated.
The four pilots, who under-
went questioning by a U.S. and
South Korean joint investiga-
tion team while in the United
States, returned to South
Korea on Saturday. South
Korean ofcials plan to con-
duct separate interviews with
them, South Koreas Ministry
of Land, Infrastructure and
Transport said.
PETE YOST
WASHINGTON Attorney General Eric
Holder said Monday the killing of Trayvon Martin
was a tragic, unnecessary shooting and that the
17-year-olds death provides an opportunity for
the nation to speak honestly about complicated
and emotionally charged issues.
In his rst comments since the acquittal of
George Zimmerman in the Martin case, the attor-
ney general said that Martins parents have suf-
fered a pain that no parent should have to endure.
He said the nation must not forgo an opportunity
toward better understanding of one another.
On Sunday, the Justice Department said it
is reviewing evidence in the case to determine
whether criminal civil rights charges are war-
ranted.
The Justice Department opened an investiga-
tion into Martins death last year but stepped
aside to allow the state prosecution to proceed.
Holder said, We are mindful of the pain felt
by our nation surrounding the tragic, unnecessary
shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford,
Fla., last year.
I want to assure you that the Justice Department
will continue to act in a manner that is consistent
with the facts and the law, said Holder.
Independent of the legal determination that
will be made, I believe that this tragedy provides
yet another opportunity for our nation to speak
honestly about the complicated and emotionally
charged issues that this case has raised, Holder
said in remarks to the 51st national convention of
the Delta Sigma Theta sorority.
We must not as we have too often in the
past let this opportunity pass, he said.
The Justice Department says the criminal sec-
tion of the Justice Departments civil rights divi-
sion, the FBI and federal prosecutors in Florida
are continuing to evaluate the evidence generated
during the federal investigation, plus evidence
and testimony from the state trial.
The NAACP and others are calling on the
Justice Department to open a civil rights case
against Zimmerman. Thousands of demonstrators
from across the country protested the jurys deci-
sion to clear Zimmerman in the shooting death of
the unarmed black teenager.
Also on Monday, the White House says
President Barack Obama wont involve himself in
the Justice Department decision on whether to
pursue civil rights charges against Zimmerman.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said it would
be inappropriate for Obama to express an opinion
on how the department deals with Zimmerman.
AG calls Martin killing anunnecessary shooting
IN BRIEF
JENNY BARCHFIELD
RIO DE JANEIRO
Edward Snowden has high-
ly sensitive documents on
how the National Security
Agency is structured and
operates that could harm
the U.S. government, but
has insisted that they not
be made public, a journalist
close to the NSA leaker said.
Glenn Greenwald, a col-
umnist with The Guardian
newspaper who rst report-
ed on the intelligence leaks,
told The Associated Press
that disclosure of the infor-
mation in the documents
would allow somebody who
read them to know exactly
how the NSA does what it
does, which would in turn
allow them to evade that sur-
veillance or replicate it.
He said the literally thou-
sands of documents taken
by Snowden constitute basi-
cally the instruction manual
for how the NSA is built.
In order to take documents
with him that proved that what
he was saying was true he had
to take ones that included very
sensitive, detailed blueprints
of how the NSA does what
they do, the journalist said
Sunday in a Rio de Janeiro
hotel room. He said the inter-
view was taking place about
four hours after his last inter-
action with Snowden.
Greenwald said he believes
the disclosure of the infor-
mation in the documents
would not prove harmful to
Americans or their national
security, but that Snowden
has insisted they not be
made public.
I think it would be harm-
ful to the U.S. government, as
they perceive their own inter-
ests, if the details of those pro-
grams were revealed, he said.
He has previously said the
documents have been encrypted
to help ensure their safekeeping.
Snowden emerged from
weeks of hiding in a Moscow
airport Friday, and said he
was willing to meet President
Vladimir Putins condition that
he stop leaking U.S. secrets
if it means Russia would give
him asylum until he can move
on to Latin America.
Greenwald told The AP that
he deliberately avoids talk-
ing to Snowden about issues
related to where the former
analyst might seek asylum in
order to avoid possible legal
problems for himself.
Snowden is believed to be
stuck in the transit area of
Moscows main internation-
al airport, where he arrived
from Hong Kong on June
23. Hes had offers of asylum
from Venezuela, Nicaragua
and Bolivia, but because
his U.S. passport has been
revoked, the logistics of
reaching whichever country
he chooses are complicated.
Still, Greenwald said that
Snowden remains calm and
tranquil, despite his predic-
ament.
I havent sensed an iota of
remorse or regret or anxiety
over the situation that hes in,
said Greenwald, who has lived
in Brazil for the past eight years.

SHASHANK BENGALI
Tribune Washington Bureau
CAIRO A top U.S. diplomat met
with Egypts interim leader Monday
in the rst high-level talks between
the nations since a military coup
ousted the Islamist former president.
The meeting between Deputy
Secretary of State William J. Burns
and the interim president, Judge Adly
Mansour, came amid widespread
anger at U.S. policy toward Egypt
and ongoing protests demanding the
former leaders reinstatement.
Opening a two-day visit to Cairo,
Burns also met with the head of
Egypts armed forces, Gen. Abdel
Fattah Sisi. He also was due to meet
business and civil society leaders to
press for an end to all violence and
a transition leading to an inclusive,
democratically elected civilian gov-
ernment, the State Department said.
The Obama administration has
called for the Egyptian military to
release the ex-president, Mohammed
Morsi, who has been in deten-
tion since the July 3 coup, along
with many other leaders of Morsis
Muslim Brotherhood organization.
In what critics call a widening
crackdown, Egypts top prosecutor
on Sunday ordered the assets of sev-
eral top Brotherhood ofcials frozen
as part of an investigation into vio-
lence following Morsis ouster.
Egypt is badly divided between
Morsis supporters and opponents,
but many on both sides are furious
at the United States.
Backers of Morsi, who won a nar-
row majority in Egypts rst free
presidential election last year, say
the Obama administration has aban-
doned democratic principles by rec-
ognizing the military-backed interim
government and refusing to halt $1.3
billion in annual aid to the armed
forces.
Morsis opponents, who held mas-
sive demonstrations accusing him
of running an Islamist dictatorship,
have vilied the U.S. ambassador to
Cairo, Anne Patterson, for comments
before the coup that discouraged the
protests and appeared to play down
Morsis authoritarian tendencies.
The U.S. Embassy in Cairo, which
was closed to the public for two
weeks due to the unrest, reopened
Monday but with a warning that the
possibility of protests in the area
remained.
Burns was not due to meet with
any Muslim Brotherhood ofcials,
who have vowed not to participate
in any interim administration. The
Brotherhoods onetime allies, the
ultraconservative Islamist Nour
party, which backed the coup, also
refused a meeting with Burns in
protest of what it called U.S. inter-
ference in Egypts domestic affairs,
according to the state-run Middle
East News Agency.

WILKES-BARRE
Prosecutors were allowed
Monday to tell a Luzerne
County jury about an
alleged heroin sale by
Armoni Johnson to Justin
Barna.
That is as far as prosecu-
tors can go.
Attorney Allyson
Kacmarski said there is no
direct evidence that the
drug sale ever took place,
and any connection to
heroin may harm Johnsons
right to a fair trial.
Johnson, 26, of Wilkes-
Barre, is facinga trial before
Judge Fred Pierantoni III
on allegations he stabbed
Barna multiple times over
a dispute about stashing
heroin inside Barnas apart-
ment on Charter Drive in
Wright Township on Aug.
7, 2011. A jury is expected
to be selected today.
Barna underwent sev-
eral surgeries at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical
Center for stab wounds to
his chest, abdomen, arms
and legs. He survived.
Barna told police he
bought four heroin pack-
ets for $80 from Johnson
about a week before he was
stabbed.
Wright Township police
allege Johnson blamed
Barna for stealing heroin
and was upset that Barna
would not allow him to
keep his alleged heroin
stash inside the Charter
Drive apartment.
Assistant District
Attorney Mamie Phillips
said the heroin dispute
between Johnson and
Barna shows motive to the
stabbing.
Kacmarski tried to keep
Phillips from telling jurors
anything about heroin
because Johnson is not
charged with any drug-
related offenses.
There is no evidence
of any drug transaction,
Kacmarski told Pierantoni
during a pre-trial hearing
Monday.
Phillips conceded that
Barna gave several state-
ments to police, including
the alleged heroin connec-
tion to Johnson.
The victim gave two
accounts of who stabbed
him, Phillips said. Let the
jury decide.
Johnson withdrew his
guilty plea to aggravated
assault resulting in a trial.
He is facing trial on charg-
es of aggravated assault,
burglary and criminal con-
spiracy.

Of the $228,118 col-
lected by the campaign
during the most recent
quarter, $94,874 came
from political action com-
mittees, or PACs, while
$133,244 came
from individuals.
After expend-
ing $123,782 in
the second quar-
ter, the campaign
was left with
$161,536 cash on
hand heading into
the third quarter.
Barlettas report also
shows a partial loan
repayment of $4,300
made to Barletta. That
leaves $68,200 in out-
standing personal loans
Barletta made to this
committee and $153,670
still owed to Barlettas
committee that served
his campaign during
previous failed runs for
Congress.
Even with the
strong second-
quarter fundrais-
ing efforts, the
total lagged behind
freshman U.S. Rep.
Matt Cartwrights
campaign com-
mittee once more.
After that committee
raised $219,375 in the
rst quarter of the year,
it topped that by $11,000
by taking in $230,118 the
past three months. Of
that, $64,650 came from
PACs.
The campaign for
Cartwright, D-Moosic,
not only topped Barlettas
numbers but also that of
fellow Northeast
Pe n n s y l v a n i a
Co n g r e s s ma n
Tom Marinos
c a m p a i g n
c o m m i t t e e .
Marinos com-
mittee reported
$118,053 in the
second quarter.
Like Barletta and
Cartwrights campaign
committees, that total
reects an increase from
the rst quarter of the
year. The campaign for
Marino, R-Lycoming
Township, reported
receiving $108,348 from
Jan. 1 through March 31.
Marinos commit-
tee had $171,184 in the
bank as of July 1. Of
the $118,053 received,
$29,500 came from PACs
while $89,054 came from
individuals. Another
$258 came from the PA
+ 5 Committee, a joint
fundraising committee
for multiple representa-
tives from Pennsylvania.
Matthew Dietz, a
Republican from Wind
Gap, has created a cam-
paign committee to
possibly run against
Cartwright in the 17th
Congressional District.
For the quarter, the
Dietz campaign report-
ed $7,215 in donations
and spent $280, leaving
$6,935 in the bank enter-
ing July.
There were no poten-
tial challengers who cre-
ated campaign commit-
tees in the 11th or 10th
congressional districts.
But that doesnt stop the
Barletta and Marino cam-
paigns from fundraising.
The campaign for
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey,
D-Scranton, raised
$200,000 and had
$142,000 cash on hand
as of July 1, according to
the campaign spokesman.
The complete report was
not posted on the FEC
website as of this edi-
tions deadline.

MARK GUYDISH
DALLAS TWP. In a legal brief led Monday in
federal court, the Dallas School Board denied almost
all allegations made in a lawsuit led by former head
football coach Ted Jackson Sr.
Jackson led his original suit in September 2012
against the district and several school board members,
contending he was red as retribution for speaking
out against the dismissal of his son as assistant bas-
ketball coach. He led an amended complaint July 1
alleging the ring was also political.
His amended complaint claimed his replacement as
head football coach, Robert Zaruta, was active in local
Republican Party politics, that his son is chairman
of the Luzerne County Young Republicans and that
Zaruta and his family were active, in particular, in
the campaign to elect Republican candidate Stephanie
Salavantis to the position of Luzerne County District
Attorney, a campaign Zaruta alleges the district
defendants supported.
The motivation of defendants in opening the posi-
tion of head football coach was to create a vacancy in
that position so as to enable the defendants to hire
Robert Zaruta, the revised complaint contends.
It also claims the board changed the policy of hiring
assistant coaches, removing the head coach from the
process, then offered an assistant football coach posi-
tion to the brother of Salavantis.
The amended complaint seeks to have Jackson Sr.
reinstated as football coach with unspecied back pay
and punitive damages. The original complaint sought
damages in excess of $70,000.
In the reply brief, the district and board deny all but
a comparative handful of charges. In most cases the
denials are procedural. Many begin after reasonable
investigation, defendants are without knowledge or
information sufcient to form a belief as to the truth
of falsity of the claim.
Other charges are denied since they are conclusions
of law to which no responsive pleading is required,
or because the district contends they are opinion.
Several others are denied because of differences in
dates or other facts between the complaint and the
districts records.

PLAINS TWP. Plains
Township police led charg-
es against Wilkes-Barre Area
School District employee
Stacie Lynne Thoma, alleg-
ing she used ctitious names
multiple times to obtain
prescription drugs through
the mail, receiving the drugs
at the Leo Solomon/Plains
Memorial Junior High
School.
Police Chief James
OMalley said the charges
were led last week and
processed Monday by
District Judge Diana Malast.
OMalley said the investiga-
tion was begun by district
security and police staff,
with a U.S. postal inspector
brought in before the case
was turned over to township
police.
According to the af-
davit of probable cause,
around June 14 ofcer Barry
Jacobs of the School District
referred the investigation to
township police, advising
that Thoma had been receiv-
ing packages at the school.
On May 28, a package
was shipped via USPS
Express mail from Advanced
Homecare in Redford, Mich.,
addressed to Lynne Thomas
WBAemployee allegedly used false
names to get drugs mailed to school
at the school address.
The package was deliv-
ered May 30 at the school
with Stacie Lynne Thoma
signing for it, police say.
Jacobs, District Security
Director Brian Lavan and
Postal Inspector David
Conklin approached Thoma
on May 30 and she signed
a waiver allowing them to
search her desk, police say.
Thoma retrieved a package
containing a medication bot-
tle with 90 Tramadol tablets.
Tramadol is a pain reliever.
The bottle was prescribed to
Lynne Thomas.
Thoma retrieved the
package from the area of her
desk/purse, the afdavit
states.
Thoma provided a written
statement indicating she had
ordered prescription medica-
tions in other names on sev-
eral occasions for at least a
year, police say, because she
was taking more than origi-
nally prescribed.
OMalley said police
did not le drug charges
because Thoma was buy-
ing prescription drugs,
not controlled substances.
He also said the amounts
ordered were too small to
make it likely she was buy-
ing them with intent to sell.
A preliminary hearing has
been set for Aug. 6 at 8:45
a.m. before Malast. District
ofcials could not be
reached Friday afternoon.

rescue workers hope, La
Porte (Ind.) County Chief
Deputy Coroner Mark
Huffman said Monday.
As the truck bounced
over the dune, a medic
noticed something aston-
ishing: The boy took a
breath. Then, the cut on his
head started bleeding. The
jolt apparently shocked
Nathans body back to life,
Huffman said. Nathan was
rushed to the hospital and
was crying in the emer-
gency room when Huffman
arrived a few minutes later.
Man, I tell you that
was such a great feeling,
Huffman said. This is not
something that I as the
chief deputy coroner get
to report that often. Its an
absolute miracle this child
survived.
Nathan, of Sterling, Ill.,
remains in critical condi-
tion at the University of
Chicago Medicine Comer
Childrens Hospital, but
he is expected to recover
and be released in 10 to
14 days, Dr. Tracy Koogler
said Monday. Of greatest
concern is his lungs, as the
amount of sand he breathed
in could lead to asthma-like
symptoms, she said.

RobeRt e. Lockman SR.
July 13, 2013
Robert E. Lockman Sr.,
81, of Shavertown, and for-
merly of Wallingford, Conn.,
departed peacefully to be
with the Lord while sur-
rounded by his loving family
on Saturday after a life well
lived.
Born at home on the
kitchen table, he came into
this world on Jan. 6, 1932, in
Wilkes-Barre.
He graduated from Elmer
L. Myers High School in
1949. Shortly thereafter he
was drafted into the U.S.
Army during the Korean
War.
While on leave at his
brother Jacks wedding,
he met the love of his life,
Kathy. They dated mainly
through letters, and Bob
sent her an engagement
ring. They were married in
Wilkes-Barre, and prompt-
ly packed up the car and
headed cross-country to Ft.
Lewis, Wash., where they
arrived with less than $5 in
their pocket.
While in the Army, he
developed his skills as a
master draftsmen, and went
on to work for companies
such as Pratt and Whitney,
American Cyanamid and
C.N. Flagg. While raising
a family and working mul-
tiple jobs, Bob was able to
complete his degree from
the University of Hartford.
During his career he played
an instrumental role in
critical projects such as the
engine design for the A4E
Skyhawk Fighter/Bomber
used heavily during the
Vietnam War, and even
the design of the Harry A.
Gampel Pavilion, home of
the famous UConn Huskies.
Bobis survivedbyhis wife,
Kathy/Kate (Kidd), and four
sons, Robert E. Lockman
Jr. (Shavertown), Kevin
Lockman (Shavertown),
Timothy Lockman
(Wallingford, Conn.) and
Jeffrey Lockman and wife
Lisa-Lori Lockman (Walnut
Creek, Calif.); his ve grand-
children, Travis, Sarah,
Steven, Scott and Christa;
his great grandchildren,
Cassidy, Logan, and Connor.
Bob was beloved by
everyone who knew him.
He was an incredible hus-
band, father, grandfather,
great-grandfather and men-
tor to every one of his fam-
ily and friends. He was an
accomplished coach, artist,
wood worker and avid Red
Sox fan. He will be forever
missed and never forgotten,
and his greatness will live
on through every life he has
touched in his 81 years on
this earth.
Bob was a faithful mem-
ber of the First United
Methodist Church in
Wallingford, Conn. He
served as a member of the
church council, and he also
served as the churchs custo-
dian and handyman. More
recently, he was a member of
the Dallas United Methodist
Church.
Bob is preceded in death
by his father, John D.
Lockman Sr.; his mother,
Marjorie Lockman, and his
brother John D. Lockman Jr.
(Jack).

He has achieved suc-
cess that he has lived well,
laughed often, and loved
much: he has enjoyed the
trust of a pure woman, the
respect of intelligent men,
and the love of children;
who has lled the void and
accomplished his task; who
has left the world better
than he found it; whose life
was an inspiration; whose
memory is a benediction.

Kane behind ouster of judge fromcorruption role
AngelA Couloumbis
and CrAig r. mcCoy
The Philadelphia Inquirer
HARRISBURG In
a bitter and secret legal
ght, state Attorney
General Kathleen Kane
has succeeded in ousting
the judge who has long
overseen corruption inves-
tigations in Pennsylvania,
The Inquirer has learned.
After a conict that
had been roiling since
she took ofce in January,
Kane took the unusual
step of asking the state
Supreme Court to remove
Judge Barry F. Feudale as
the supervising grand jury
judge in Harrisburg.
Kane told the high court
in April in sealed papers
that the judge was no lon-
ger t to run a grand jury.
Among other concerns,
she cited an episode in
which Feudale, stopping
at her ofces, showed a
secretary a 10-inch knife.
Feudale, 67, has over-
seen grand juries in some
of the Attorney Generals
Ofces biggest cases,
including the Bonusgate
scandal in the legislature
and the Penn State child
sex-abuse case. Asked
about Kanes allegations,
he called them a sneak
attack that twisted facts.
Kane is a politician
rst, second and third,
and perhaps an AG
fourth and fth, he said.
Kanes communica-
tions director, Joe Peters,
rejected Feudales criti-
cism. Shes attorney gen-
eral, rst and only, he
said.
The dispute is part of a
larger struggle, between
the new attorney
general and her
ofces old guard of
career prosecutors,
that has spilled over
into how several
high-stakes cases
are being handled
including a probe
into political corrup-
tion in several counties,
Philadelphia among them,
according to people famil-
iar with the situation.
The scope and specics
of that investigation could
not be learned.
The battle between
Kane and Feudale could
also have repercussions
for the recent charges
against eight people in a
pay-to-play scandal at the
Pennsylvania Turnpike.
A lawyer in the case
said the defendants had
heard rumors about
Feudales removal and had
been wondering why
and if the reasons might
somehow undermine the
prosecutions and help the
defense.
The dispute features
strong personalities. The
judge is a hiker, climber
and kayaker, fond of pilot-
ing his Cessna to county
courthouses across the
state, and blunt-spoken on
and off the bench.
In documents submitted
to the high court, Kane,
a former Lackawanna
County prosecutor,
argued Feudale should
be removed because of
behavior that included
demeaning her and her
predecessor, Linda Kelly,
in an e-mail to a prosecu-
tor who had left Kanes
staff.
The e-mail went to
Frank G. Fina, a onetime
top prosecutor in that
ofce who built many
of its most explosive
cases. The judge
e-mailed: The
Last General aka
Private Kelly,
could not lead
and was indeci-
sive to the point
that she was
almost ineffec-
tive.
Asked about the remark,
Feudale said recently:
It was a cheap shot. I
shouldnt have said that.
In the e-mail, the judge
also disparaged a review
Kane has launched into
how the ofce pursued
Penn State child molester
Jerry Sandusky.
Feudale wrote that the
review was PATENT in
its POLITICAL intent,
but that Fina, who led the
Sandusky investigation,
should cooperate with it.
In May, the Supreme
Court ruled in Kanes
favor. The courts order
did not bar him from
serving as a judge, but
removed him from the
grand-jury position. The
order was sealed and has
not been made public.
In an interview, Feudale
said he would not talk
about any grand-jury
investigations. But he did
discuss the circumstances
of his removal.
He acknowledged that
his e-mail ripping Kelly
was a mistake, but said he
stood by the criticism of
Kanes Sandusky-related
probe. Feudale shared a
copy of the e-mail with
reporters.
KAne
PSU receives
federal fndings on
security procedures
mAry niederberger
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Penn State University
has received a prelimi-
nary report from the U.S.
Department of Education
based on a program review
of the universitys compli-
ance with the Clery Act
in relation to allegations
against former assis-
tant football coach Jerry
Sandusky.
The Clery Act is a 1990
federal law that requires
universities to document all
crime on campus.
At issue is whether
the university should
have called police after a
report that Sandusky was
seen sexually assaulting a
10-year-old boy in a shower
in the universitys football
complex in 2002.
According to a grand
jury indictment and inde-
pendent investigation by
former FBI director Louis
Freeh, the incident was
reported by then-graduate
assistant Mike McQueary,
who told the late football
coach Joe Paterno, who in
turn told athletic director
Tim Curley and vice presi-
dent Gary Schultz, who
then told former university
president Graham Spanier.
But no one at the uni-
versity ever called police,
which was required under
Penn States own Clery Act
policy.
Spanier recently led
legal papers indicating he
plans to sue Freeh and his
investigative staff for slan-
der and defamation.
The U.S. Department of
Education has been inves-
tigating Penn States pos-
sible violation of the Clery
Act since November 2011.
Thats when it sent a letter
to the university announc-
ing it would be arriving on
campus and asking for doc-
uments pertaining to crime
reporting, including a list
of all crimes reported to
the campus police or other
campus security authorities
from 1998-2011 and a copy
of the campus daily crime
log from 1998-2011.
Penn State spokeswoman
Lisa Powers said the uni-
versity cannot disclose the
contents of the preliminary
report and that it has at
least 120 days to respond to
its contents.
A statement posted on
the university website said
Penn State had provided the
reviewteamwith access to
all requested records and
information sources.
In addition, it said, Penn
State hired a full-time Clery
compliance manager in
March 2012 and has insti-
tuted a mandatory Clery
Act training program for
employees.
Powers said more infor-
mation about the report
will be made public after
a nal determination from
the education department.
The U.S. Department of
Education could not imme-
diately conrmthat the pre-
liminary report had been
sent or that is must remain
condential.
Penalties for violation of
the Clery Act range from
a ne of up to $27,500 for
each violation to suspen-
sion of federal nancial aid
to the school.
Sandusky was accused
of abusing 10 boys over a
15-year period while work-
ing for Penn State and with
his charity, The Second
Mile. He was convicted in
June 2012 of four criminal
counts of sexual abuse and
is serving a 30- to 60-year
state prison sentence.
On Friday, the Penn State
board of trustees autho-
rized an attorney to make
settlement offers to 32
people who said they were
abused by Sandusky. DATE: TUESDAY 7/16/13 CLIENT: Sleepys FILE: ADS: 2013: : Chris Ads PUBLICATION: Times Leader 90 8.21 X 18

Coal miner stamp
is long overdue
Would Mother Teresa want a stamp
honoring her, or the 100,000 coal min-
ers who died in this country and for
this country?
I would like to thank all as well as
the Conyngham United Methodist
church for its support in this cam-
paign, the WSJ and the New York
Times, unafraid to mention the fact
that 100,000 dead coal miners could
not get a stamp, but Mother Teresa
did and delivered to a local church.
It was announced that the US Postal
Service would nally issue a stamp
honoring coal miners.
That respect is long overdue, and if
you look around at the mounds of strip
mining, the deaths, living from hand to
mouth, it is long overdue. There was
a saying: If youre white come in, if
youre black stay out. Today that would
be a racial slur, as compared to that
of coal miners who ingested coal dust
from morning to night, may not have
showered, and wore the black dust of
their work home, and so many unable
to breath died a suffering and lingering
death from Black Lung, coal dust so
accumulated in the lungs, you suffo-
cated to death.

YOur OpiniOn: Letters FrOm Our reaDers
A crowd of onlookers cheered after
state Attorney General Kathleen Kane
announced her ofce would not defend
Pennsylvanias version of the Defense of
Marriage Act against a federal lawsuit
brought by the American Civil Liberties
Union because she believes its uncon-
stitutional. Forgive us for not joining in
that applause, even though we oppose
discrimination against gay people in
marriage or anything else.
By law, one of the fundamental duties
of her ofce is to represent the common-
wealth against lawsuits. Any attorney
general swears to support, obey and
defend both the U.S. and state constitu-
tions and, most pertinently, discharge
the duties of the ofce with delity.
In choosing partiality to her own ideas
over delity, the Democrat refuses to do
her job. Someone does have todetermine
the constitutionality of Pennsylvanias
law prohibiting gay marriage and that
duty properly falls to U.S. District Court
Judge John E. Jones III. That is his job.
Some supporters of gay marriage may
argue that these objections are pedantic
and that the rightness of the cause jus-
ties Ms. Kanes taking an expansive
interpretation of her oath of ofce. But
theres a large, practical problem with
deciding to pre-judge the case before the
judge has had a chance. This cavalier
approach cuts both ways for liberals and
conservatives.
In Ms. Kanes case, a liberal attorney
general refuses to defend a law, this
one barring same-sex marriage, that is
scorned by many liberals. In so doing,
she garners political support from liber-
als. Some other year it could be a con-
servative attorney general who decides
that because of the free speech rights
she will turn a blind eye to restrictions
on protesters outside abortion clinics,
with the result that women are harassed
and the attorney general is applauded by
conservatives.
How do we feel about taking oaths
lightly now? Ms. Kane is not the rst to
take such a step. U.S. Attorney General
Eric Holder did it with the federal
DOMA. Californias governor and attor-
ney general declined to defend the ban
there on same-sex marriage and the U.S.
Supreme Court decided no one else had
standing, allowing the marriage of gays
to proceed.
As it turns out, in this case, Gov. Tom
Corbetts Ofce of General Counsel will
likely defend the state law. But the state
pays an elected attorney general to do
that. America has become a nationof peo-
ple who, as a matter of principle, know
better than anyone else. But there is prin-
ciple, too, in process, that old bulwark
against anarchy. Ms. Kane thinks she
struck a blow for liberty when in fact she
failed to do the job she promised to do.

AT FIRST BLUSH (would that
be B-1?) the decline of popular-
ity in church bingo games reported
in Sundays Times Leader surely isnt
much of a surprise. In the age of the
Internet, social media, smart phones
and legalized gambling, the pastimes
decline seemed inevitable.
In its prime, bingo nights at local
churches and community centers served
a wide range of purposes: A lot of social-
izing, the mild thrill of a modest risk,
the challenge of guring out a system,
the potential for a few extra bucks in
spending money and the knowledge in
most cases that you were contributing
to a good cause.
All those incentives still exist at the
bingo nights run throughout the region,
but they now compete with a plethora
of options, fromMohegan Sun Casino at
Pocono Downs to home computers and
even smart phones that allow people to
both entertain themselves and social-
ize at least electronically almost
anywhere.
Add cable and satellite TV offering
countless channels and programming
on demand, and its a wonder bingo still
survives at all.
As Sundays page 1A story noted, in
many places bingo is clearly reaching
(or already has passed) a tipping point
no one who runs the games can ignore:
When the amount brought in does not
exceed the amount spent, the fundrais-
ing incentive to hold the event drops to
zero.
Monsignor Joseph Rauscher, pastor
of St. Nicholas Church in Wilkes-Barre,
put it bluntly: When it cost us money
to give away prizes, when its no longer
nancially feasible, thats when it cant
continue.
The loss of bingo nights at St. Nicks
would be a particularly unhappy mile-
stone. History hints, and Rauscher
strongly believes, the modern version of
the game took off when a parish priest
recommended the cards be revamped
to decrease winning combinations and
increase prots, thus making it worth-
while for churches and organizations to
host such games.
Evenif the story is apocryphal, or true,
but the priest was not local, the end of
bingo at St. Nicks would mark the end
of an era. It is almost certainly the oldest
bingo center in Luzerne County, having
hosting its rst game in 1933.
The decline of bingo rst and fore-
most has meant a decline in needed
revenue for churches and organizations.
Rauscher noted that in its prime bingo
would raise as much as $45,000 in a sin-
gle year. But bingo has been more than
a money-maker. It has been a cultural
touchstone. For nearly a century, odds
were high that if you made a week-long
visit to Anywhere, U.S.A., you could
nd a bingo game, letting you par-
ticipate in a something universal while
experiencing the distinctly local.
That alone is reason enough to
hope bingo nds a way to survive. It
is a paradox of our times that as we
become increasingly connected through
the ever-available and instant worlds
of Twitter, Facebook and other social
media, we often become more isolated.
We create an insular world of people we
friend and websites we visit, erasing the
common places we once shared.
Weekly bingo is one such place, and
the community and country would like-
ly be better off if we nd ways to reverse
its fortunes. Perhaps modernizing the
experience with some digital ash, or
updating the prizes to lure a younger
crowd, or doing a better job of spread-
ing word that a night of bingo can help a
church or organization you want to see
thrive.
Heres hoping some bright minds and
avid fans gure out how to revive the
venerable game. After all, hitting the
right combination would be the best
reason yet to yell
Bingo!

Coal miners built more than nations, they built families
Jacob Guydish was born in Slovakia
or some nearby region in 1881. The
turbulent politics of the turf swal-
lowed, spat out and reconstituted
repeatedly by greater powers pul-
verized any records we could likely
use to determine his hometown or his
parents names.
His dad immigrated to the United
States somewhere between 1881 and
1886. He settled in Sheppton, Pa,
working in the coal mines. After
a few years, his dad had saved
enough money to send for his
wife Mary and their sons, Jacob
and an older brother whos name
we dont know.
The reunion never happened.
They arrived to nd the patriarch
had died in a mine accident, his
dream of bringing his family to
a new hope paid for with his
life. He did, however, apparently
leave behind more than many
miners could will to their heirs:
A house.
Mary took on boarders, coal min-
ers, to feed her family. She did their
laundry. Her older son went to work
in the mines. He was killed in an acci-
dent at the age of 19. Mary remarried
and had more children
Jacob Guydish dropped out of
school in second grade. His mother
objected to education, vowing no
child would be smarter than she
was. He went to work in the mines
in 1900, and married Mary Hudock
around 1901. They eventually moved
from Sheppton to West Hazleton and
had 10 children before Mary died in
1927 during childbirth.
Blessed with the ability to do some
basic math despite his lack of educa-
tion, Jacob Guydish was promoted
to foreman, allowing him to make
enough money to buy a plot of land
and build a large brick house among
many smaller, clapboard abodes. Like
his mother, he both lived in it and
rented rooms out to borders who
gathered in a single large dining room
for meals.
He crammed a two-door garage
and a one-oor bungalow into the
backyard, and eventually added a
work space above the garage where
he fashioned jewelry (it later became
an apartment for rent). When he built
his home, he included a small grocery
store on the east side of the rst
oor, but abandoned the enterprise
during the Depression (it reopened
later under outside management). He
bought a truck and opened a hauling
business run mostly by elder
sons while he worked in the
mines.
His afuence showed not
only in the size of the house
and outbuildings, but in the
fact that he was among the
rst on his street to have
a telephone and a car, a
Packard.
Like so many miners toil-
ing in such abject conditions,
Jacob became a full-blown
drunk around his retirment
at age 67. He sold his house
to his son and eventually moved into
a little three-room boarding area on
the second oor. My sister recounts
visiting his place as young girl and
watching him put an egg in a glass of
whiskey and gulp it down.
My mother recounts how he would
come downstairs where she and Jacob
Jr. lived, pour himself a whiskey and
put pepper in it. When Jacob Sr.
complained about my mothers cook-
ing, insisting it was never as good as
his late wifes, she says she once shot
back Were you drinking whiskey
with pepper then?
That was my grandfather. He died
January 10, 1958, eight months and
18 days after I was born. He was, by
all accounts, a skinint. There were
no Christmas trees or presents in my
dads childhood home. New clothes
were almost as scarce. Mom tells the
time dad turned to her and promised
he would never treat his wife and kids
that way. He kept that promise.
Yet despite his aws, Jacob Guydish
Sr. and the father he may never
have met created a family that
grew and spread, imbuing them with
a work ethic and moral compass that
has served my extended family well.
There are no kingmakers or earth-
shakers in the clan launched by my
unknown great grandfathers bold and
brief contribution to the American
Experiment, but his decision to
sail here has sent ripples through
the fabric of this nation, from coast
to coast. It created everything from
entrepreneurs and store clerks to psy-
chologists, bank executives, teachers,
PhDs, and yes, a journalist.
And every scrap of that bountiful
contribution to this country started in
a coal mine.
The announcement, at long last, of
a U.S. Postal stamp commemorating
coal miners is both a moment of pride
and a moment of shame. The latter
because it took so long.
The former because there are mil-
lions of Americans who have histories
completely entwined with the black
diamond veins our ancestors drained.
We know the sacrice that gave each
generation a better life. We have coal
dust in our blood, and cannot help but
pass it on.
For us, this is not just a stamp.
It is the stamp.

Tonights County Council budget
work session focusing on human

work session focusing on county
human service agencies.
Salad bars in 2007
County ofcials rst zeroed in on
the need to change the stereotype of
senior centers for incoming boomers
several years ago, which led to the
2007 introduction of salad bars as an
alternative to hot meals on center lun-
cheon menus.
While many boomers are not ready
to spend hours at their local center,
the changes are meant to warm them
up to the center concept, Hollywood
said.
We want to give them a chance to
see its not their vision of what a senior
center is, she said.
The county aging department,
which also covers Wyoming County,
operates 19 centers that provide low-
cost lunches and social activities.
These centers entice thousands of
area residents to leave their homes to
socialize and exercise their minds and
bodies, which is why she wants them
to be appealing to incoming boomers
born from 1946 to 1964, she said.
I truly believe the centers keep
seniors living longer because theyre
not sedentary, she said.
Kingston Active Adult Center
Director Sandy Acornley said more
than 20 new members, including some
boomers, have joined since the recent
switch to a brighter and more open
center on Third Avenue.
We offer Tai Chi. Were trying to
offer things other than traditional
bingo, she said.
Some veteran center members also
nd the new activities appealing,
she said. A group of mixed ages line-
danced Monday at the Kingston cen-
ter.
They can line dance two hours
straight no problem, Acornley said.
Age is the attitude of the heart.
The report to council also says the
aging department is exploring switch-
ing to a private nonprot entity gov-
erned by a board of directors, which
should increase access to more grants
and donated funds, the report said.
Nineteen other aging agencies in the
state are no longer branches of county
government, she said.
The agencys revenue has hovered
around $14 million for years, she
said. The lions share $11.8 million
comes from the state. Wyoming
County contributed $15,000, and
Luzerne County pays nothing, she
said.
In addition to adult centers, the $14
million funds services that allow aging
residents to remain in their homes.
Agencys protective unit
The agency also has a protective ser-
vice to investigate alleged elder abuse,
and abuse reports have increased 33
percent since 2007-08, Hollywoods
budget submission said.
The protective unit investigated 255
reports in the 2012-2013 scal year,
and 41 percent were substantiated.
Most of the increase stems fam-
ily members or caregivers who want
access to money, often for drug addic-
tions or gambling, she said. Some
have moved elderly relatives into their
homes to get access to their money
and then fail to care for them.
Were getting more and more crimi-
nal cases, and we try to get justice,
she said.

constitution and the evi-
dence in this case falls
short, Keating maintained.
Keating said special pro-
visions have been made to
help seniors, veterans and
college students obtain
acceptable IDs. A special,
free ID card for voters who
lack a state drivers license
or ID card issued by the
Pennsylvania Department
of Transportation or
other acceptable ID also
is available through the
Pennsylvania Department
of State.
The law stirred a bit-
terly partisan debate dur-
ing last years presidential
campaign, with critics
calling it a cynical attempt
by Republicans to discour-
age voting by groups that
tend to vote Democratic.
Republicans defended the
law as a safeguard against
voter fraud, although
the state ofcials have
acknowledged they know
of no cases of voter imper-
sonation.
Although the law was
signed 16 months ago, the
court blocked enforcement
in the 2012 presidential
election, when it was origi-
nally to be put into effect,
and during the municipal
and judicial primaries in
May.
The court case turns on
whether the law can be
implemented in a way that
ensures that every voter
who needs a photo ID can
get one.
Rubin said potentially
hundreds of thousands of
Pennsylvania voters still
lack proper IDs and sug-
gested that relying on
PennDOT to issue most of
the IDs, including the spe-
cial state card, may be part
of the reason.
While the states 9,300
polling places are relatively
close to the voters, the IDs
are available only at the 71
PennDOT licensing cen-
ters around the state and
there are none in nine of
the 67 counties.
Using PennDOT to dis-
tribute IDs cannot, has not
and will not work, Rubin
said.
The plaintiffs also played
video testimony by two
women to illustrate the
diverse problems that may
be compounded by the law.
In one video, Marian
Baker of Reading, who has
been using a walker since
she broke her leg in 2008,
said her PennDOT non-
driver ID card expired in
2011 and that she didnt
renew it because ofcials at
the closest PennDOT ofce
told her she would have to
travel to the ofce and she
did not want to wait in line.
Based on that informa-
tion, she said she did not
vote in the 2012 general
election or the May pri-
mary breaking a record
of voting in every election
since 1960.
The other woman,
92-year-old Mina Kanter-
Pripstein, whose polling
place is located in the
Philadelphia apartment
house where she lives, said
she votes every chance I
get. But she described the
increasing difculty she
has in walking and said the
prospect of traveling to the
local PennDOT center to
renew her ID might not be
worth the effort.
In that case, I just
wouldnt vote, she said.
The career and technology center
serves ve districts on the east side
of the Susquehanna and is run by a
joint operating committee composed
of representatives from the member
school boards.
The LIU is a regional entity that
provides a variety of services for
area schools, and is run by a board
comprised of representatives from
12 area districts.
Support staf negotiations
Negotiations are also under way
for ve unions representing school
district support staff, which gener-
ally includes custodians, secretar-
ies and aids: Crestwood, Hanover
Area, Wilkes-Barre Area Career and
Technology Center, and two unions
in Wilkes-Barre Area, one represent-
ing secretaries and aides, the other
representing crossing guards, custo-
dians and maintenance workers.
Wilkes-Barre Area is unusual in
having the support staff split into
two unions. That quirk, combined
with the need for a new teacher
contract and a new deal for adminis-
trators, means the countys second-
largest district will likely start the
2013-14 school year with four con-
tracts up in the air.
The 2013-14 budget was drawn up
without any money set aside for pos-
sible pay increases if settlements are
reached.
The Crestwood School Board and
the support staff union had reached
a tentative agreement in May, with
the agenda for a special meeting
May 30 including a vote to accept or
reject the proposal.
But board member Gene Mancini
noted the union apparently had
questions about the agreement and
the board tabled the vote.
A call to lead union negotiator
Virginia Cowley seeking an update
was not returned, and Pennsylvania
State Education Association
Northeast Region spokesman Paul
Shemansky said he did not know the
status of the contract talks.

Pa. House returns, passes
last budget-related bill
ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARRISBURG The nal bill relat-
ed to the 2013-14 Pennsylvania state
budget passed Monday as lawmakers
made a one-day return to the Capitol
caused by a dispute over a payday lend-
ing provision.
The main budget bill was passed and
signed by Gov. Tom Corbett on June 30,
during the nal hours of the past scal
year, and Corbett has repeatedly touted
on-time budgets as a major accomplish-
ment of his administration.
Democrats said the scal code bill,
which passed 103-85 on Monday, with
a single Republican voting no, was a
critical part of the budget.
Were 15 days late and probably a
billion dollars short of what this bud-
get really should be, said Rep. Joe
Markosek of Allegheny County, the
ranking Democrat on the powerful
Appropriations Committee. The fact
that we are back here today, July 15, to
address the scal code is just further
proof that the budget is unnished.
Markosek said there was no excuse
for the budget to be late, given
Republican control of both chambers
and the governorship.
Its time to fess up, Markosek said
during a brief oor debate. Youre late.
The budget is not on time. This budget
is 15 days late.
The scal code was changed by
the Senate on July 3 to remove a sen-
tence that said the House and Senate
Republican leadership intended to pass
Consumer Discount Company Act legis-
lation by the end of October.
The scal code helps direct spend-
ing in the state, and this years version
contained the House-penned provision
designed to help the nancially strug-
gling Philadelphia school system.
State budget ofcials said passage of
the scal code was needed to avoid a
host of negative effects on state govern-
ment.

When the biggest stars in baseball
are gathering in New York for the Major
League All-Star game, one local man will
have a unique prospective.
Tunkhannocks John Belcher is one of
30 veterans one for each big league
ballclub chosen to be recognized at
Tuesday nights All-Star game in Major
League Baseball and People Magazines
Tribute to Heroes contest.
I just hope I do a good job of rep-
resenting the people of Northeastern
Pennsylvania and all veterans, said
Belcher, who served in the Marines for
nearly 10 years. These are the biggest
shoes Ive had to ll since leaving the
service.
Belcher served as a Marine in
Afghanistan and Iraq, winning numerous
citations and medals for his bravery in
combat situations.
After his discharge, Belcher began a
career of helping vets. He worked for
a federal government ofcial, and after
only a few months was promoted to the
ofces Veteran Affairs representative.
There he helped more than 600 veter-
ans resolve issues with the Veterans
Administration and obtain the medals
they deserved.
Belcher is currently working in
Congressman Lou Barlettas ofce,
where he continues to help vets. He has
also been the veterans service ofcer
with his local American Legion post for
the past couple of years.
Belcher gets his chance to be on the
eld at Citi Field prior to the game
because he was nominated to represent
the Washington Nationals and then
selected to be one of three nalists that
fans voted on.
I got a phone call from a young
woman at People and she told me I was
nominated, said Belcher, who gradu-
ated from Misericordia University with a
degree in government, law and national
security.
I said, Nominated for what?
Once he understood the nomination,
Belcher said he was honored.
Its an absolute pleasure to represent
the Marine Corps and all veterans,
Belcher said. Its a once in a lifetime
opportunity.
Belcher added that he heard that
Major League players even helped nar-
row down some of the nominations.

than 10 years, the Richards
brothers will be working for
different teams.
On July 1, Teddy Richards
started in his new job as assis-
tant equipment manager for the
Pittsburgh Penguins, leaving
a Wilkes-Barre/Scranton team
where he had worked since
2002, rst as an assistant and
then as head equipment man-
ager for the last seven years.
A few weeks after his older
brother made the move to the
NHL, Josh Richards, 24, fol-
lowed, taking a job with the
Dallas Stars where he will
serve as equipment assistant.
The younger Richards has been
with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
since 2001, starting out as
a stick boy, or locker room
attendant, before moving up to
assistant equipment manager
and working under his brother.
Now, for the rst time in
years, the Richards brothers
are climbing a new rung on
their career ladders, and theyre
doing it apart from each other.
Not many people get to work
with their brother and its de-
nitely going to be a change, Josh
Richards said. But at the end of
the day, were both in the NHL
and our family is very proud.
Family is what got the
Richards brothers their start
in pro hockey. Their father,
Ted Sr., was the bus driver
for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins for the rst two
years of the franchises history
until he passed away in 2001.
With both of his sons moving
to the NHL, this season will be
the rst where a Richards fam-
ily member isnt working for
the AHL club.

NEWYORKFlip on any
highlight show and youre
almost sure to see them, with
those peach-fuzz faces and
boyish features beneath their
big league caps.
Mike Trout makes a diving
catch on the warning track.
Manny Machado whacks
another double into the cor-
ner at Camden Yards.
Bryce Harper belts a
tape-measure home run or
barrels into a catcher or
an outeld fence or what-
ever stands in his way.
The next generation of
baseball stars has arrived
straight from the senior
prom, it seems and these
guys are changing the com-
plexion of the grand ol game.
Derek Jeter is 39 and
injured, left off the All-Star
team for the rst time in
eight years.
Matt Harvey is 24 and
merciless, with a polished
array of breaking pitches to
complement 98 mph heat.
These guys are coming
up now with incredible tal-
ent, these young players,
National League manager
Bruce Bochy said Monday
at Citi Field, where the New
York Mets are hosting the
All-Star game for the rst
time since Shea Stadium
opened in 1964. I think they
are just getting better, faster,
bigger, stronger still, and its
impressive to watch.
No kidding.
Trout and Harper, the
Rookies of the Year last
season, are making their
second trip to the All-Star
game. This time, they will
start Tuesday night after
getting elected by fans with
a fervor for the new boys of
summer.
Some of baseballs best
players are among the
youngest on the eld. Night
after night, they put up
unprecedented numbers
and turn in spectacular
plays that belie a birth cer-
ticate from the 1990s.

RICE TWP. Since he didnt
pitch much during the high school
baseball season, Mike Bugonowicz
spent his summer trying to refamil-
iarize himself with the mound.
Its a little different for me,
Bugonowicz said. Its just getting
back in the rhythm of pitching.
Looks like he found it.
Bugonowicz settled down after a rocky
start Monday, retiring 14 of the nal 16
batters he faced at Veterans Field while
leading Nanticoke past Tunkhannock, 5-2
and into the championship round of the
Wyoming Valley American Legion playoff
tournament.
Nanticoke, which lost earlier in the
double-elimination tournament,
will get its rst crack at tour-
ney unbeaten Greater Pittston
at 5:30 p.m. today at Mountain
Post. A victory today would give
Greater Pittston the league title.
If Nanticoke wins, the teams will
play again Wednesday for the
championship.
Got to win two more, Nanticoke man-
ager Joe Yudichak said. I have 17 guys
who can trust each other and love the
game, and a great coaching staff.
Bugonowicz proved a perfect example
of that faith.
After surrendering ve hits and two
runs while working through all kinds of
trouble during the rst three innings, the
big righthander from Hanover Area was
practically untouchable over the nal four
frames.
I started executing my secondary
pitches around the plate, backing them
off inside, Bugonowicz said. They were
hitting my fastball, so I gured, Start
working the secondary pitches.
It worked.
Bugonowicz didnt surrender another
hit after Josh McClains RBI double tied

ARCHBALD The offense
came quickly Monday
and then disappeared.
Its cameo, though, was
just enough for Back
Mountain American
to keep its title hopes
alive.
American scored four
times in the rst and
once again used its pitching
committee to post a 5-3 victory
over Plains in the elimination
bracket nal of the Section 5
Little League Major Baseball
tournament at Archbald Little
League.
District 31 champion
American will be back
at Archbald today and
if things go as the
team hopes again on
Wednesday. American
need to defeat unbeat-
en D17 champ North
Pocono twice to secure
the title. Game time is
6 p.m.
D16 champ Plains was elim-
inated with its second loss.
That rst inning, we didnt
get a couple breaks, said
Plains manager Kyle Costello,
whose team scored once in the
rst but failed to score again
with the bases loaded and
one out. Youre going to have
that in baseball life. Things
are going to happen out of
your control. But its how you
bounced back and they did.
We have a young team. We
have seven 11-year-olds. Im
excited for next year already,
but I told them to remember
this feeling because when you
show up at practice, you dont
want to have that feeling again.
While Plains failed to capi-
talize in the top of the rst,
American did in the bottom of
the inning.
American had ve of its
eight hits in the rst, with
Mark Roginski driving in two
with a single, and Michael
Anderson and Dalton Simpson
each knocking in a run with a
base hit. American increased
its lead to 5-1 in the second
when Ethan zawatski hit his
fth home run of the tourna-
ment.

After four successful years as
the goaltender for the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins and
a stellar run in the postseason,
Brad Thiessen anxiously wait-
ed for the rst day of free agen-
cy July 5 to see what opportu-
nities would come his way.
A few teams expressed inter-
est, he said, but they signed
other goaltenders.
So on the second day of free
agency, Thiessen and his wife
began to think about Europe.
We thought maybe there
would be a better opportunity
over there then backing up in
the AHL, Thiessen said.
There was.
It wasnt long before Thiessen
got a call from the general man-
ager of a team in the capital
city of Finland, Helsinki, to join
Finnish Elite League club HIFK
because they need a starting
goaltender.
Thiessen quickly agreed to
take on the role and make the
move overseas.
Its a good feeling to know
youre wanted, he said. Ive
never been to Europe but Ive
heard nothing but good things
about Finland. Former team-
mate Jason DeSantis is joining
the same team, so there will be
a familiar face there.
Thiessen, 27, leaves Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton after a four-
year run during which he was
named the AHLs top goalten-
der in 2010-11. He had a regu-
lar season record of 88-49-12-
6, 2.47 GAA and a .906 save
percentage. In the playoffs,
Thiessen was at his best, post-
ing an 18-16 record with a
2.31 GAA and a .924 save per-
centage.
In Finland, Thiessen will be
playing on a bigger ice sur-
face in a game that leans more
toward skill than physicality.
Hes looking forward to the
challenge and happy to go into
a season as the starting net-
minder.
I still feel like I can be the
guy who can play every night.
Maybe down the road I can
make the switch to a veteran
backup, but right now the
starting job is important to
me, Thiessen said.
The move to Europe was still
somewhat of a surprise, even
though Thiessen said he knew
his time with the Penguins was
over when the season ended.
He expected to be playing
somewhere in North America
this year, and as a result of the
move to Finland, Thiessen and
his wife had to shorten their
summer plans.
Training camp in Finland
opens on July 29, followed by
a tournament against other
European teams and then the
start of the regular season
Sept. 13.
Im back home in British
Columbia now and never
expected to start things up
again until September. We had
to cancel our trip to Hawaii and
focus on work outs and on-ice
training again, Thiessen said.
After four years in Wilkes-
Barre, Thiessen admitted he
will miss the people in the
community as well as the peo-
ple in the Penguins organiza-
tion.
And while his contract
with Finland is for one-year,
Thiessen wasnt ruling out a
return to North America in
the future.
Im not closing the door on
anything. Well see where this
year takes me, he said.
Goalie Thiessen going to Finland
Aimee Dilger | The Times Leader
Former Penguins goaltender Brad Thiessen will play in the Finnish Elite
League this season after four seasons mainly with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
But theyll still be involved
in pro hockey.
Being in the NHL and with
Pittsburgh is where I wanted
to be, Teddy Richards said.
With a son and a daughter,
it had to be the right fit for
my family, and Pittsburgh is
perfect.
For both brothers, the
career change came rather
quickly. Teddy Richards said
his move up to Pittsburgh
was briefly discussed last
year, but nothing came of
it until he got a call from
Pittsburgh assistant general
manager Jason Botterill in
June.
Botterill asked if he was
interested in becoming the
teams assistant equipment
manager and told Richards
to take a week or two to
think it over.
I already knew I wanted it.
Still, my wife and I weighed
the pros and cons, and it was
all pros, so the decision was
made, he said.
Josh Richards caught wind
of the Dallas opening through
a friend and quickly applied.
He interviewed for the post
while attending equipment
manager union meetings in
Las Vegas. At the beginning
of July, he went to Dallas to
work their summer prospect
camp as a tryout of sorts.
With three days left
in camp, Dallas offered
Richards the job.
They wanted someone
with experience and my time
in Wilkes-Barre certainly
helped, he said.
Both brothers not only
credited their time in Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton for opening
up the NHL door. After so
many years at the AHL level,
the Richards brothers will
certainly face new challenges
working in the NHL.
The spotlight on these
players is a lot brighter here,
and its not going to be excus-
able to have something go
wrong with a skate during a
game, Teddy Richards said.
Its my job to be at my best
for these players and provide
whatever they need.
While Josh Richards is
moving to a new organiza-
tion, hell see some familiar
faces in former Penguins Alex
Goligoski and Toby Petersen.
But change is something he
is very familiar with, thanks
to his time in Wilkes-Barre.
Working here has taught
me to be a people person. You
have to deal with players and
coaches, and its basically
a new roster every year,
Josh Richards said. Being
in the NHL is something my
brother and I have dreamed
of, and finally its our time.
Perhaps the biggest change
the brothers will face this
season is seeing each other
on opposite benches when
Pittsburgh plays Dallas. Still,
it wont feel like a change
for long as the brothers are
already planning a reunion
when the teams meet.
Its going to be different
not working with my brother
because he was always there
and we knew each others
routines, Teddy Richards
said. We both were born
and raised in Wilkes-Barre,
and its all weve known, so
not only will we be learning
the routines of the new staffs
were working with, well be
learning new cities and grow-
ing in our new roles.

Nanticokes Zach Kollar, left, starts his head-first slide into third base as Tunkhannocks Josh McClain waits for the
throw in a Wyoming Valley American Legion baseball elimination game Monday evening in Rice Township. Kollar was
out on the play.
the game at 2 in the third
inning, and the only baser-
unners he allowed from that
point reached on a fourth-
inning error and a seventh-
inning walk.
He came back in the mid-
dle innings and found it,
Yudichak said. Got control of
the game and didnt let it go.
Before that, things seemed
to be careening out of control
for Bugonowicz and Nanticoke.
It got a little nerve-rack-
ing, Bugonowicz said.
Did it ever.
Lance Sherry led off the
game for Tunkhannock with
a bunt single and raced home
when Ty Weiss drilled a triple
that rocketed to the center
eld wall to put Nanticoke in
a 1-0 hole.
And after Bob Briggs deliv-
ered Nanticoke a 2-1 lead with
a two-run double in the second
inning, Tunkhannock came right
back and tied the game when
Weiss walked and scored on
McClains double in the third.
But Bugonowicz never buck-
led.
He got two strikeouts to end
the rst inning and strand run-
ners at second and third; left
Cody Brown standing at third
base with an inning-ending
strikeout in the second; and
induced a short y ball and a
ground out to keep McClain
90 feet from home plate as the
third inning nished.
In other words, Bugonowicz
kept the dam from breaking on
Nanticoke.
If they put the ball in
play, I trust my defense,
Bugonowicz said. After the
third inning, I started settling
down.
Im always worried,
Yudichak said. But you
know, I sort of have a quiet
confidence with Mike. Hell
come through in the clutch
like that. During Legion sea-
son, he was a spot starter and
a closer. Hes done everything
weve asked of him. The rea-
son we won (Sunday) was
two-out hits. If you could
prevent them, youre going to
win games.
Nanticoke won the elimi-
nation game Monday with a
bunch of hits.
Nanticoke broke the tie
when Christian Pack singled,
stole second and scored on
a hard double by Mickey
Ferrance in the third inning.
Then Nanticoke tacked on
two more runs when catcher
Joe Yudichak and Zach Kollar
delivered RBI singles to give
Bugonowicz a three-run cush-
ion in the fourth.
That showed we would
battle back, Bugonowicz said.

But from the third inning
on, American had just one bas-
erunner Michael Doggett,
who reached on a wild-pitch
third strike in the sixth as
Plains starter T.J. Wozniak
settled in on the mound.
Wozniak nished with eight
strikeouts in throwing a com-
plete game. American had
struck out nine times in its
previous two games combined.
Hes tough. Hes as good as
youre going to see, American
manager Jeff Doggett said.
Were just grateful to play
another day of Little League,
very grateful. Honestly, its not
over. This was a big hurdle,
but were not thinking about
two games. Lets go out and
just try to win the rst inning
tomorrow. Maybe we can
string a few together and see
what can happen.
Once again, Doggett contin-
ued to wear out the grass from
the dugout to the pitchers
mound with several pitching
changes. American used six
pitchers, with rst reliever
Michael Collins earning the
victory with 1.2 innings of
work. Zawatski pitched the
sixth for the save.
Were probably not going
to outpitch anybody, Doggett
said. Thats not the nature
of our team. Some teams can
roll out guys who throw darts
after darts. Thats not us. We
have to get contributions from
everybody.
Plains cut the decit to 5-3
in the third on a solo homer by
Wozniak and an RBI single by
Jamie Pahler. Other opportuni-
ties went unfullled as Plains
stranded 10 runners, including
ve in scoring position.
It just wasnt our day,
Costello said. The kids hit
the ball, hit the ball hard. We
just couldnt get the ball to
drop. It just wouldnt fall for
us today.

ENTRECHAUX, France There
appears to be little to stop Chris
Froome from reaching the Champs-
Elysees on Sunday in the yellow
jersey and becoming the second
straight British cyclist to win the
Tour de France.
After another brutal attack in
the mountains on Sunday, Froome
leads Bauke Mollema and Alberto
Contador by more than four min-
utes with only six stages left
four of them suited to him. There is
a time trial on Wednesday, followed
by three straight days of tortuous
climbs in the Alps.
But winning looks like the easy
part.
The 28-year-old Froomes physi-
cal superiority at the 100th Tour
has raised eyebrows, practically
inevitable in the climate of sus-
picion that haunts cycling after
Lance Armstrong was stripped of
his seven titles for serial doping.
This years race is the rst since
Armstrong lost his titles, and
Froome understands the tone of the
questions. Still, he was unhappy
that doping became a main topic of
his news conference on Mondays
rest day. That followed his stage
win on Mont Ventoux, a mammoth
climb in Provence that he tamed
with two blistering attacks and
where he left Contador the 2007
and 09 Tour champion lagging
behind.
I just think its quite sad that
were sitting here the day after the
biggest victory of my life quite a
historic win, talking about doping,
Froome said. Here I am basically
being accused of being a cheat and
a liar and thats not cool.
To compare me with Lance,
I mean, Lance cheated. Im not
cheating. End of story.
With so many of cyclings recent
exploits later shown to have been
drug-assisted, people under-
standably want to know whether
they should continue believing.
Froomes performances are subject
to intense debate on social media,
cycling blogs and in mainstream
media.
I can assure you that we are
thinking very, very hard about
the optimal way of proving to you
guys that were not doping, Sky
team manager Dave Brailsford said
Monday, adding that the World
Anti-Doping Agency could help by
appointing an expert to scrutinize
Froome.
They can come and live with
us, Brailsford said. They can have
all of our information. They can see
all of our data.
Brailsford and Froome would
much rather be focusing on the
Alps.
And judging by what Contador
saw on the 21-kilometer (13-mile)
ascent up Ventoux, the Spaniard
has every reason to fear more mis-
ery there.
My objective was to win the
Tour, but (Froome) is a level above
the rest, Contador said.

GULLANE, Scotland Two
dozen cameras were in position
Monday morning to capture the rst
big moment of this British Open,
only they werent anywhere near the
golf course. They waited in the drive-
way as a silver station wagon pulled
through the gate and stopped in front
of the clubhouse at Muireld.
Ernie Els climbed out of the back
seat holding the shiny claret jug he
won last year at Royal Lytham & St.
Annes, and he promptly handed it
over to Royal & Ancient chief execu-
tive Peter Dawson.
Thank you, Dawson told him.
Youve been a great champion.
Now its up to the 43-year-old South
African to reclaim the silver prize,
and that doesnt gure to be easy.
Els won last month in Germany.
He won the last time the Open was
played at Muireld in 2002. He has
more top 10s in the British Open than
any other major. But he has this piece
of history working against him the
last major champion in his 40s to suc-
cessfully defend his title was Old Tom
Morris, and that was 151 years ago.
The Big Easy is not a betting man,
but he was asked to pick someone to
wager a pound on at Muireld.
Id have to look at the odds,
wouldnt I? he said, trying to buy
time. Maybe a long shot. I like to go
for the long shots.
A long shot?
Maybe someone like Jordan Spieth,
the 19-year-old Texan who was headed
toward another top nish on the PGA
Tour until he holed a bunker shot for
birdie on the last hole at the John
Deere Classic, got into a playoff when
Zach Johnson made bogey on the
18th, and won on the fth extra hole.
Next thing he knew, Spieth was on a
charter ight to Scotland for his rst
British Open. He has experience with
links golf, having played the Walker
Cup at Royal Aberdeen in 2011.
And for those who believe experience
is required, Ben Curtis won in 2003 in
his rst major championship, let alone
his rst time playing links golf. Curtis
reunited this week with Andy Sutton,
the local caddie he hired at Royal
St. Georges. Sutton was told of an
American player looking for a caddie 10
years ago and had never heard of Curtis.
Not to worry. A lot of Americans had
never heard of him, either.
Tiger Woods is always a favorite,
and he has the best odds this week,
even though he hasnt won the claret
jug since Hoylake in 2006.
Els certainly is not ruling himself
out this week, not after the victory
in Germany and his tie for fourth in
the U.S. Open. Els might not win as
much as he used to, but he plays the
hard courses well. And with a fore-
cast for dry weather and strong wind,
this might be hard.
The claret jug is the oldest trophy
in golf, rst awarded in 1873. Els
took it around the world over the last
year, as he did after winning in 2002.
The jug stayed outside London the
last two weeks, cleaned and buffed so
it was shiny when he handed it back
to the R&A.

Trapped in a mundane job at the
tomato plant, Theo dreams of becom-
ing a glamorous race car driver.
He wants the fame and fortune of
Indianapolis 500 winner Guy Gagne,
but more than anything, Theo wants
to go fast.
The problem? Theo is a snail.
Thats the premise behind the
DreamWorks Animation movie
Turbo that opens Wednesday and
features the Indianapolis 500. The
idea, by director, co-writer and story
creator David Soren, came from
watching his young sons obsession
with all things fast and an annoying
snail infestation in his own front yard.
Its the juxtaposition of extreme
slowness and speed all in my yard,
Soren said in a telephone interview
with The Associated Press. I love an
underdog story, and nobody expects
anything out of a snail, the odds are
stacked against them. They are the
butt of slow jokes they are stepped
on by kids, despised by gardeners,
eaten by the French so the paral-
lels of a snail and an underdog was
the perfect match.
Using a template similar to three
of Sorens favorites Rocky, The
Karate Kid, and Breaking Away
he created an animated underdog
story that pays homage to The Fast
and The Furious franchise. Theo
(Ryan Reynolds) nally nds his
speed after being accidentally sucked
into a street racers engine and get-
ting zapped with nitrous oxide. So
long, slow-poke snail. Theo becomes
Turbo and he begins a push to escape
the drudgery of his life in the San
Fernando Valley and make it to the
Indianapolis 500 to race against
Gagne, his French-Canadian hero.
For any race fan, human or mol-
lusk, the pinnacle of achievement in
the sport is the Indianapolis 500,
Soren said of his decision to center
the movie on The Greatest Spectacle
of Racing.
Its a dream come true for the snail,
as well as the IndyCar Series, which
cant buy a break in halting its slide
in public interest.
Operating the last several years
with big ideas but a thin marketing
budget, nothing has seemed to work
in building a sustainable buzz around
the series. Now it has a life-size, free
advertisement of its centerpiece
event and storied speedway on big
screens across America.
Sorentabbedthree-time Indianapolis
500 winner Dario Franchitti as a tech-
nical consultant for the racing sequenc-
es, and had full access to the speedway
to ensure authenticity.
When you have a snail that can go
200 mph, it was important to ground
everything else in reality, Soren
said.
Franchitti, who with his thick hair
and busy eyebrows bares an uninten-
tionally slight resemblance to Gagne,
made several trips to DreamWorks
studio to lend a hand and was pleased
with the nal product.
I sat and watched all the ins and
outs of it, I was totally caught up in
the story, Franchitti said. The ani-
mation is unbelievable, just incred-
ible. But the story itself, how funny it
is, theres jokes in there that kids will
get and jokes adults will get. I was
rolling around laughing.
Reigning Indianapolis 500 winner
Tony Kanaan was one of several driv-
ers who attended the New York pre-
miere, while the rest of the IndyCar
eld saw the lm last week in Toronto
before their doubleheader weekend.
All were impressed with the realism
of both their craft and the speedway.
I think the movie has a great mes-
sage its about getting the aware-
ness of the Indy 500, but also a mes-
sage of perseverance, Kanaan said.
Scott Dixon took his two young
daughters and said they immediately
wanted to see the movie again, while
Sebastien Bourdais said his 6-year-old
was entertained from start to nish.
She was just big eyes the whole
time, laughing, really enjoying it,
Bourdais said. Its one of these
movies that you can take it with two
degrees, with the adults eye and
kids eye because it ts perfectly. Its
the right message and its great for
the IndyCar Series and Indy.
Franchitti and Will Power both
play reporters at the speedway in the
movie. Racing great Mario Andretti
plays several roles, including one
of the Yellow Shirt volunteers the
speedway uses each year.
Andretti, who also worked on the
animated Cars, isnt a huge fan of
racing movies, saying they either
overdo it or they totally miss it. Ive
not seen anything thats realistic.
But he was impressed with Sorens
team and the focus on every detail.
They were asking very pertinent
questions about what they can incor-
porate in the lm, such as when you
go around the corner, you see the
rubber marbles y, Andretti said.
It makes you appreciate the detail
that goes into these things. Its a fun,
fun story and it can help IndyCar. Its
going to pique curiosity.
When you see something in that
format, you want to see the real thing.
Indianapolis is still Indianapolis.
This is going to strike a chord.
Animated flmcould give racing a boost

COLUMBIA, S.C.
NASCAR plans to automate
its rule book and revamp its
appeals process in a wide-rang-
ing effort to bring more clarity
to race teams and fans.
The governing body outlined
several initiatives Monday it
expects to implement in its
three major series before the
start of the 2015 racing season.
The effort started eight months
ago and will be an ongoing pro-
cess to keep up with technology
and fan interests, said Steve
ODonnell, NASCAR senior vice
president of racing operations
I think its a change in how
we do business moving for-
ward, ODonnell said.
That includes converting its
rule book from a word docu-
ment to computer automated-
design drawings that can be
easily accessed by race shops
to see whats allowed and what
isnt. Penalties will be speci-
cally spelled out for each type
of infraction. When a rule is
broken and a team appeals,
NASCAR wants more experts
on the panel instead of some
who might not have as strong
a background regarding the
infraction.
I think we put some people
in somewhat tough positions
at hearing appeals, ODonnell
acknowledged. We owe it to
the industry to have experts sit
in on that and make proper rul-
ings.
ODonnell also discussed
innovations geared to the rac-
ing fans. He said NASCAR
wanted to keep in synch with
what people drive on the streets
so their experience can match
somewhat with their favorite
Sprint Cup driver on the track.
The Sprint Cup and the truck
series are off this week with the
Nationwide Series in action at
the STP 300 in Joliet, Ill.
Another area was shifting
more inspection responsibil-
ity to NASCARs Research &
Development operation away
from the track, freeing up more
time for race teams to prac-
tice instead of waiting to have
their cars looked at. NASCAR
inspectors, who are assigned to
individual series, in the future
would be trained to handle all
events, either in Sprint Cup,
Nationwide or Camping World
trucks.
There might also be locked-in
times for on-track inspections,
meaning fans would know
when their favorite cars are get-
ting put under the microscope
and be on hand to watch.
ODonnell said NASCAR
would also improve informa-
tion fans can access about pit
stops, although he wasnt yet
sure if it would be limited to
online access, a component
at each track for fans at the
stands, or both.

OPEN EVERYDAY
HOWIE RUMBERG
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK The
Home Run Derby news
conference was about to
begin and Chris Davis
chair on the dais was
empty. This seasons big-
gest slugger was missing.
When Baltimores rst
baseman nally strode
into the room, only one
question seemed appro-
priate: You were busy
hitting more home runs,
Chris? the emcee asked,
only half joking.
Its no joke what Crush
Davis has done with that
behemoth of a 35-inch,
33-ounce bat.
In less than two years,
Davis has gone from near-
ly swinging-and-missing
his way out of baseball to
matching Reggie Jackson
for most home runs by an
American League player
before the All-Star break
with 37.
What CDis doing right
now is special, fellow
Orioles All-Star Adam
Jones said. Special.
And while the long
balls have made Davis
one of the most popular
players in the game right
now, the season hes hav-
ing is even better than his
tape-measure drives.
The leading vote-get-
ter in All-Star balloting
is hitting .315. He joins
Detroits Triple Crown
winner Miguel Cabrera
as the rst two players
EVER to hit at least 30
homers and drive in 90
runs before the break.
I mean, both of those
guys had incredible rst
halves, Washington out-
elder Bryce Harper said.
I mean, rst players to
ever have 30-90. I mean,
thats stupid. Thats just
like, video game, and lets
just go out and have some
fun and smile and laugh
when we strike out.
There was a time when
Davis wasnt laughing,
when Crush Davis, a
play on Kevin Costners
character Crash Davis,
who sets the minor league
record for home runs in
Bull Durham, was wor-
ried that was all he would
be: a bush league bopper.
Davis displayed great
power from the start in
pro ball, hitting 36 hom-
ers in his second season
in the minors. He hit 118
home runs in 1,807 minor
league at-bats overall.
When he was called up
by the Rangers in 2008,
he homered in his rst
start. The Texas boy
earned his nickname play-
ing for a team in his home
state.
But he also struck out
a lot.
In 2009, he fanned 150
times in 391 at-bats and
his on-base percentage
fell below .300. A year
later, his batting average
dipped to .192 and he
only homered once in 120
at-bats.
He sure did think about
becoming a real-life Crash
Davis while riding the
Triple-A express in his
last three years with the
Rangers.
But near the trade
deadline in 2011, he was
acquired by the Orioles,
along with pitcher
Tommy Hunter, for reliev-
er Koji Uehara and cash.
Thats when things
started to change.
Davis switched to the
bigger bat in 2012, got
consistent playing time
from the Orioles and pro-
duced. He hit 33 homers
and drove in 85 runs last
season. By the way, he
also earned a win pitching
two innings in a 17-inning
game at Boston.
Working with Orioles
hitting coach Jim Presley,
Davis started using more
of the eld and staying
back in his stance. And
while he still struck out
plenty, Davis made more
contact and swung at
fewer pitches out of the
strike zone.
He hit seven homers in
the nal seven games of
2012, helping Baltimore
to their rst postseason
since 1997.
That was only the start.
This year his swings
have turned heads, espe-
cially in his own dugout.
Every time he steps
into the batters box I
think everyone on our
team is watching him
seeing if he can do some-
thing special again, All-
Star teammate J.J. Hardy
said, and he hasnt disap-
pointed at all.
Said Manny Machado:
Now its just every day
were expecting it.
Davis set a record with
16 RBIs in the rst four
games of the season and
has been locked in since.
He has 27 doubles, 93
RBIs, a .392 on-base per-
centage and a .717 slug-
ging average in 95 games.
He handles the ball
in on him. He handles
the ball away from him.
Hes very aggressive,
Nationals manager Davey
Johnson said. He really
has a good grasp of the
strike zone and when you
have a good grasp of the
strike zone and youre a
very aggressive hitter,
theres not hardly any way
to pitch to him.
The sustained success
has led to more difcult
questions for Davis, and
hes confronted them
head on. When asked on
Twitter if he used steroids,
he responded with a no.
He considers the single-
season home run record
to be Roger Maris 61.
I think any time youre
being asked about some-
thing, you want to be
open and honest about it.
Ive got nothing to hide,
he said. I want people to
know that. I want people
to feel like they can get
behind me.
Relaxed and enjoying
his rst trip to the All-Star
game, Davis knows other
young players trying to
make it in the big leagues
will look to his story.
I think itll be an
inspiration for anybody
whos tried, succeeded
and failed and then had
to come back and learn
how to succeed again,
he said. Theres a lot of
stories in baseball where
guys came up and were
highly touted and didnt
pan out. Its unfortunate
but I didnt want to be
one of those guys.

Baltimore Orioles Chris Davis follows through on a two-run home run against the Toronto Blue Jays in the third inning Sunday in
Baltimore. It was Davis 37th this season.
READING Alex Rodriguez
went 2 for 4 with a 400-foot home
run in his rst rehab appearance
with Double-A Trenton.
Rodriguez played seven
innings in the Thunders game
against the Reading Fightin
Phils on Monday night.
The New York Yankees third
baseman had struggled in
his rst eight rehab games in
Class-A, but looked comfortable
in his rst Eastern League game.
He had a tough 12-pitch
battle with Reading left-hander
Austin Wright in his second
at-bat, fouling off six two-
strike pitches before hitting
a high hopper to third. The
ball glanced off third baseman
Maikel Francos glove and was
ruled a single.
Rodriguez grounded out to
shortstop in his rst at-bat,
homered in his third at-bat and
struck out swinging in his nal
at-bat in the seventh.
The 37-year-old, 14-time All-
Star handled every chance in
the eld awlessly.
He will rehab again with the
Thunder in Reading on Tuesday
and possibly Wednesday.

I think its great that
pro ballplayers take the
time to saulte our vets,
he said.
That might be so,
but the Washington
Nationals? Being born and
raised in Northeastern
Pennsylvania, Belcher
cant be a Nationals fan.
Can he?
Im a huge Nationals
fan, said Belcher, who was
working in Washington
when the team moved to
town. When they moved
to Washington, they were
rock bottom. So I gured
no one could give me a
hard time if I rooted for
them.
So Belcher will be
honored by his favorite
team and Major League
Baseball on Tuesday
night.
But he had some advice
on the best way to honor
Americas veterans.
Dont just say thank
you, Belcher said. Just
reach out and help.
Donate. Volunteer. Do
something.
Its good for the game, Trout said.
A lot of young guys are playing fearless
and making a name for themselves at an
early stage in their career.
Not only that, they move merchan-
dise.
Jersey sales for Harvey, Harper and
Trout rank among the top 10 this sea-
son based on purchases of Majestic tops
at MLB.com, the league and the players
association said last week.
Harper is 20, and Trout is all of 21.
Barely old enough to vote, let alone buy
a drink.
Machados jersey ranked eighth, one
spot behind Jeter, even though the
Baltimore third baseman has spent less
than a year in the majors. That didnt
stop him from earning his rst All-Star
selection on his 21st birthday.
In todays era, young dudes are get-
ting better and more prepared to come
up to the big leagues, said Orioles
teammate Adam Jones, an All-Star him-
self. Its just an improvement in the
game. These young dudes are phenoms,
and hes put his name up there.
Hes probably more mature than I
am, and Im 27.
Machado was voted in by players,
a signicant sign of respect from his
peers.
Well, mostly elders, actually. He cer-
tainly deserved it at a power-packed
position after hitting 39 doubles in the
rst half, threatening the single-season
record of 67 set by Earl Webb in 1931.
Swing and hit the white ball coming
at you. Thats all it is, Machado said.
Theres no secret to it.
Just like Little League, apparently.
Sometimes he makes it look that easy,
too. But take a swing around the majors
and you see its not only Trout, Harper
and Machado.
There is Miami rookie Jose Fernandez,
a 20-year-old All-Star with a Cy Young
future. Dont forget lefty Patrick Corbin
(23), who is 11-1 with a 2.35 ERA for
Arizona. And second-year shortstop
Jean Segura in Milwaukee, who leads
the NL in hits at age 23.
I feel pretty good when they compare
me with those guys, Segura said about
his place among baseballs new breed.
Then theres Harvey, the New York
Mets ace with 29 major league starts to
his name. His next one will be Tuesday
night on his home mound opposite
Detroit Tigers right-hander Max
Scherzer.
For me, hes the best pitcher in the
game, Diamondbacks outelder Cody
Ross said this month. Not even just in
the National League. Hes really good. I
faced a lot of those guys in the American
League last year and I cant say that I
saw anyone better than him.
His mound presence is as good as
youll see.
There are 12 All-Stars this season
24 or younger, seven in the National
League. Thats the most since a dozen
were selected in 1993, according to
STATS a group that included Ken
Griffey Jr., Mike Piazza, Gary Shefeld,
Mike Mussina and Juan Gonzalez.
The only player from that bunch
under 23 was 21-year-old catcher Ivan
Rodriguez. This year, there are four.
That doesnt include Los Angeles
Dodgers sensation Yasiel Puig, left out
of the game after six electric weeks in
the big leagues at 22. More to come
from him, for sure.
Every guy that you just mentioned
plays the game hard, plays it the right
way every day. Its so much fun to be
part of that, Harper said.
Im not going to back off the throttle
at all. Im full speed every day.
In all, 12 players who qualied as
rookies last season made the All-Star
team this year. So much for sophomore
slumps.
Theres denitely a different breed of
ballplayer coming out, Minnesota man-
ager Ron Gardenhire said last weekend.
This seems to be one of those cycles
where a lot of young players are ashing
quick.
Although fresh faces are taking over,
that doesnt mean all the old guys are
out. Mariano Rivera, Torii Hunter,
Carlos Beltran and Bartolo Colon are
back at the Midsummer Classic, bring-
ing decades of experience and wisdom.
And what impresses veterans the
most about this crop of young stars is
the way they carry themselves on and
off the eld. Harper occasionally ash-
es a hot temper with Washington, but
opponents predominantly praise them
for their all-around skill and steady per-
formance.
Its different from when I rst came
up. Just the attention, the media cover-
age, the pressure, said Twins catcher
Joe Mauer, a No. 1 draft pick who made
his rst All-Star appearance at 23. To
keep everything in perspective and go
out there and do your job every day and
stay consistent is really what makes it
pretty special.
A lot of guys can come up and have
immediate success right away and the
league can kind of gure you out a little
bit. But those guys keep going day after
day and keep producing.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi is
reminded of the mid-90s when Jeter,
Alex Rodriguez and Nomar Garciaparra
all broke in at shortstop in the American
League.
It is kind of amazing the level that
these young guys are playing, Girardi
said.
Making them just the sort of stars
baseball wants to build around.
I like the fact that they play the game
the right way. They seem to get it,
Minnesota general manager Terry Ryan
said. Theyre gifted, theyre energetic.
Its good to see a young, up-and-coming
player that represents not only their
franchise well but the game well.

NEW YORK Yoenis
Cespedes won baseballs
Home Run Derby on
Monday night, becoming
the rst player left out of
the All-Star game to take
home the crown.
The Oakland Athletics
slugger beat Bryce Harper
9-8 in the nal round at
recongured Citi Field,
hitting the decisive drive
with ve swings to spare.
In only his second
major league season,
the outelder from Cuba
dropped his bat and raised
his arm in triumph when
he sent his 32nd homer of
the night some 455 feet to
deep center eld, where
it caromed off the back
wall of the black batters
eye. He was swarmed by
the American League All-
Stars near the third base
line.
The nal addition to
the eld, Cespedes was
the fourth player not
selected for the All-Star
game to compete in the
event.
Right off the bat, he
proved he belonged and
put on quite a show with
family in the stands.
Cespedes hit a whopping
17 home runs in the rst
round more than any
other player managed in
their rst two trips to the
plate.
That sent him straight
into the nals, though he
added six long balls in
round two for good mea-
sure. Some of his early
drives were particularly
impressive, too.
Cespedes hit about a
half-dozen balls into the
upper deck in left, never
reached by anyone in a
game, and banged anoth-
er couple of shots off the
restaurant windows in
the corner just below.
The 20-year-old
Harper, wearing shiny
gold spikes as his father
pitched to him, ham-
mered eight homers in
all three rounds. But the
Washington Nationals
phenom couldnt keep up
with Cespedes.
Colorado outelder
Michael Cuddyer and
Baltimore rst baseman
Chris Davis, who leads
the majors with 37 hom-
ers, were eliminated in
the second round. Davis
tied Reggie Jackson
(1969) for the AL record
before the All-Star break.

A mixed sign for
economic growth
Americans spent more at retail
businesses in June, buying more cars
and trucks, furniture and clothes. But
consumers cut back on many other
purchases, a mixed sign for economic
growth.
The Commerce Department said
Monday retail sales rose 0.4 percent
in June from May, after a 0.5 percent
increase the previous month.
Sales rose in June largely because of a
1.8 percent increase in auto purchases,
the biggest since November. Higher gas
prices also pushed service station sales up
0.7 percent. Still, excluding the volatile
categories of autos, gas and building sup-
plies, so-called core retail sales rose just
0.15 percent. Thats the weakest since
January. Americans spent less at depart-
ment stores and restaurants in June. They
bought fewer computers and electronics.
And sales at home improvement stores,
such as Home Depot, dropped 2.2 per-
cent although those sales are up nearly
10 percent over the past year.
Deal means lower
cost for airlines
Airlines are paying a little less to
operate out of Pittsburgh International
Airport these days thanks to the poten-
tially lucrative contract awarded last
winter to mine the land for shale gas.
The Allegheny County Airport
Authority cut the airlines cost per
enplanement by 55 cents, from $14.66
to $14.11 on July 1, the rst fruit from
a $46.3 million lease bonus payment
received as part of a 20-year deal with
Consol Energy for drilling on airport
land.
The authority expects to use a por-
tion of the bonus payment each year to
cut costs to the airlines. Based on the
55-cent reduction this year, the carri-
ers could see the cost per enplanement
slashed by nearly $3 over ve years.
Honeywell joins
787 investigation
The maker of an emergency trans-
mitter for Boeings 787 says it has
joined the U.K. investigation into last
weeks re on one of the planes.
Honeywell International Inc. spokes-
man Steve Brecken declined to conrm
why authorities asked Honeywell to
participate. But the disclosure follows
several media reports that investiga-
tors are looking at the emergency
transmitter locater, which is supplied
by Honeywell.
Brecken says the transmitters have
been used on many planes since 2005
and have not had any issues.

Times Leader Intern
LUZERNE Phil Delzeit
has spent over half of his
life working in the food-ser-
vice industry and is using
this experience to open a
food truck from which he
will offer a treat he created,
called the Panana.
The Original Panana is a
peanut-butter and banana
sandwich deep-fried in fun-
nel cake batter and sprinkled
with powdered sugar. He
also offers four other variet-
ies. With this new venture it
is evident that he is trying to
carve out his own niche.
Since I am going to stay
in the food business, I didnt
want to be ordinary Delzeit,
52, of Luzerne, said.
The food truck trend has
been invading highly popu-
lated areas for a few years
now. The success of the Kogi
truck in Los Angeles, which
opened in November of
2008, is generally considered
to have incited the explosion
of this industry.
Now food trucks can be
seen on the streets of major
cities across the country.
It has taken a little longer
for this trend to come to
Northeastern Pennsylvania,
but it has nally arrived.
Delzeits PananaMan truck
joins the Magic Bus, What the
Fork and other food trucks
that have made the rounds on
the thoroughfares of Wilkes-
Barre and Scranton.
Food trucks are thriving
in part because of their con-
venience and unique menu
options. The lower start-up
costs lead many people to
open a food truck as opposed
to a brick-and-mortar restau-
rant.
Delzeit designed and con-
structed the PananaMan
truck from scratch, with the
help of his daughter Sara.
After gutting the interior, he
built the entire kitchen by
himself.
Prior to the completion
of the PananaMan truck,
Delzeit set up a tent at fairs
and festivals to sell his prod-
ucts. By using the truck
he doesnt need to unload
equipment at every venue.
He is also not as restricted
by inclement weather.
The food truck business is
not without its downsides.
Many restaurant owners
oppose them because they
fear losing business. Cooks
and servers also have to adapt
to the conned space inside
the trucks. Because of the
cold seasons, Delzeit is open
only for about half of the year.
Since food trucks often
move around, owners have
to effectively advertise their
location, usually with social
media. It is important to stand
out and build a loyal following.
This aspect of the business is
one that Delzeit is having fun
with. He has implemented
many unique gimmicks to
draw people to his truck.
Patrons can opt to sing
for their Panana rather than
paying. Also, anyone wear-
ing a PananaMan t-shirt gets
free candy apple cider. When
not playing the PananaMan
jingle from the loudspeakers,
Delzeit plans on showcasing
music from local artists.
These unconventional
ideas exemplify how food
truck owners are trying to
differentiate themselves both
from traditional restaurants
and other food trucks.
Food truck tries to stand out fromgrowing crowd
Phil Delzeit, AKA The PananaMan, presents a candy apple cider infused
with cherry and the peanut butter, banana and chocolate chip concoc-
tion hes been selling from his food truck at local festivals. His daugther,

BOSTON New research boosts
the use it or lose it theory about
brainpower and staying mentally
sharp. People who delay retire-
ment have less risk of developing
Alzheimers disease or other types of
dementia, a study of nearly half a mil-
lion people in France found.
Its by far the largest study to look at
this, and researchers say the conclusion
makes sense. Working tends to keep
people physically active, socially con-
nected and mentally challenged all
things known to help prevent mental
decline.
For each additional year of work,
the risk of getting dementia is
reduced by 3.2 percent, said Carole
Dufouil, a scientist at INSERM, the
French governments health research
agency.
She led the study and gave results
Monday at the Alzheimers Association
Inter-national Conference in Boston.
About 35 million people worldwide
have dementia, and Alzheimers is
the most common type. In the U.S.,
about 5 million have Alzheimers
1 in 9 people age 65 and over. What
causes the mind-robbing disease isnt
known and there is no cure or any
treatments that slow its progression.
France has had some of the best
Alzheimers research in the world,
partly because its former president,
Nicolas Sarkozy, made it a priority.
The country also has detailed health
records on self-employed people who
pay into a Medicare-like health system.
Researchers used these records on
more than 429,000 workers, most of
whom were shopkeepers or crafts-
men such as bakers and woodwork-
ers. They were 74 on average and
had been retired for an average of 12
years.
Nearly 3 percent had developed
dementia but the risk of this was
lower for each year of age at retire-
ment. Someone who retired at 65
had about a 15 percent lower risk of
developing dementia compared to
someone retiring at 60, after other
factors that affect those odds were
taken into account, Dufouil said.
To rule out the possibility that
mental decline may have led people
to retire earlier, researchers did
analyses that eliminated people who
developed dementia within 5 years of
retirement, and within 10 years of it.
The trend is exactly the same,
suggesting that work was having an
effect on cognition, not the other
way around, Dufouil said.
France mandates retirement in
various jobs civil servants must
retire by 65, she said. The new study
suggests people should work as long
as they want because it may have
health benets, she said.
Heather Snyder, director of medi-
cal and scientic operations for the
Alzheimers Association, said the
study results dont mean everyone
needs to delay retirement.
Its more staying cognitively
active, staying socially active, con-
tinue to be engaged in whatever it is
thats enjoyable to you thats impor-
tant, she said.
Study: Later retirement may ward of dementia
JOE McDONALD
AP Business Writer
BEIJING Chinas lead-
ers face new pressure to stim-
ulate a slowing economy after
growth fell to its lowest since
1991, hurt by weak trade and
efforts to cool a credit boom.
The worlds second-largest
economy expanded 7.5 per-
cent over a year earlier in the
three months ending in June,
down from the previous quar-
ters 7.7 percent, data showed
Monday. Growth in factory
production, investment and
other indicators weakened.
The fth straight quarter
of growth below 8 percent
is a clear sign of distress,
said IHS Global Insight ana-
lyst Xianfang Ren in a report.
With investment weak, she
said the economy might be
at risk of stalling.
Analysts said growth could
fall further, adding to pres-
sure on communist leaders
who took power last year.
They are trying to shift China
from reliance on exports and
investment to slower, more
sustainable growth based on
domestic consumption.
Chinese leaders are likely
to launch new stimulus to hit
their 7.5 percent growth tar-
get for the year, said Credit
Agricole CIB economist
Dariusz Kowalczyk. He said
that might include weaken-
ing the Chinese currency
to spur exports or pumping
money into the economy
through higher public works
spending.
We will see some tar-
geted measures to stimulate
growth, said Kowalczyk.
They have to do something.
Otherwise they will miss
their target. And they can-
not afford that, because this
is their rst year in power.
A decline in Chinese
economic activity could
have global repercussions,
denting revenues for sup-
pliers of commodities and
industrial components
such as Australia, Brazil
and Southeast Asia. Lower
Chinese demand already has
depressed prices for iron ore
and other raw materials.
A stimulus would tem-
porarily set back Beijings
reform plans by reinforcing
reliance on investment to
generate jobs.
Despite the slowdown,
communist leaders have
expressed determination to
stick to their plans, which
would impose short-term
pain in exchange for sus-
tained, stable growth later.
Major indicators are within
our targeted range but we face
a complex situation, said a
spokesman for the statistics
bureau, Sheng Laiyuan, at a
news conference.
Sheng said the govern-
ments goal is to promote
restructuring and make
more of the driving force
of the market.
Growth in factory output
slowed to 9.3 percent for the
rst half of the year, down
0.2 percentage points from
the rst quarters rate, the
statistics bureau reported.
Growth in investment in fac-
tories and other xed assets
in the rst half declined by
0.8 percentage points to 20.1
percent.

Nina Polvanich Louie tries to make every moment count with her little boy, Donovan.
For one mother
a bone marrowmatch means seeing her son growup
JASON SONG
Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES Her son said Mommy for the
rst time after Nina Polvanich Louie came home from
chemotherapy.
Donny started preschool the morning Nina rst
met her oncologist. When she returned from another
appointment, the 2-year-old looked her in the eye and
said something he never had before: I love you.
For a parent, every milestone a child passes is an
achievement. For Nina, 32, each time Donny does
something new is also a reminder of how little time
she may have left with him.
Nina has an advanced stage of blood cancer and is
hoping to nd a bone marrow donor within a month.
Doctors say she has about a 1-in-20,000 chance of nd-
ing a match.
The other day, Nina saw a young boy waiting with
his father and mother in the hospital where she gets
treatment. The child was playing a game, putting his
hands on his fathers and trying to pull them away
before his dad could tap them. He laughed whenever
his father playfully slapped his hands.
As she watched the family, Nina quietly started to
cry.
Donny cant do that yet, she said, and I wondered
if I would ever have a moment like that with him.
As the youngest child of Thai immigrants who set-

tled in the Houston area, Nina wasnt around children
much and was sometimes unsure of herself whenever
she met a toddler.
I was more of a dog person, she admitted.
After college, Nina went to Thailand to work for the
business consulting group McKinsey & Co. for three
years before returning to the United States to attend
Harvard Business School, where she met her husband,
Matt, during a mixer.
The two married in December 2008 and moved to
West Hollywood, close to Matts job at a nancial ser-
vices rm, while Nina began to run her familys import
business from home. Both had to travel frequently for
work, so they had only started to kick around the idea
of having children when Matt went on a trip in January
2010.
Soon after her husband left, Nina started to feel
funny and, as a precaution, bought a pregnancy test
from a nearby drugstore. When she saw two blue lines
signaling a positive test result, Nina thought it had to
Study: growing number of babies have fat spots on their heads
Dr. Amber Hoffman, right, performs a well-check on 2-month-old
Christian Pacheco as Dr. Kate Robben looks on in Kansas City,
Mo. Pachecho did not show signs of a flat spot on his head that is
becoming more common as the time infants spend on their backs
and in car seats
ALICE STICE
The Kansas City Star
When Sara Pacheco takes her 2-month-
old son in for checkups, he gets all the mea-
suring, weighing and stethoscope time you
might expect.
But the doctor also carefully examines
the shape of the babys head, looking for at
spots many infants develop after sleeping in
car seats and on their backs for long stretch-
es of times.
A Canadian study published Monday
in Pediatrics, the journal of the American
Academy of Pediatrics, found that of the
440 infants studied, almost half of the 2- to
4-month-olds had at least some attening on
their heads.
The condition, known as positional plagio-
cephaly, can permanently change facial fea-
tures if untreated.
Since the academy in 1992 advised par-
ents to have infants sleep on their backs to
help prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome,
the number of deaths attributed to SIDS has
dropped by more than 50 percent. But more
babies have been developing at spots on
their heads.
Elizabeth Simpson, a pediatrician at
Childrens Mercy Hospital, said she sees a
lot of babies with small at spots on their
skull. Because infants skulls are more mal-
leable, they can change shape if a child lies
in the same position too much.
Oftentimes these at spots show up if par-
ents use a car seat as a place to let their baby
sleep or sit even when they arent driving.
We tend to let happy babies stay put,
Simpson said. So unless the baby starts cry-
ing, were liable to let them stay there.
Thats where she comes in. When doctors
notice one of these at spots on a babys
head, they coach the parents on how to pre-
vent it from getting worse.
Usually spending more time holding the
baby, switching up sleeping positions and
making sure the baby spends some time
lying on his or her stomach does the trick.
It might be better for babies if car seats
stayed in the car, Simpson said.
Pacheco said she was never specically
coached on how to prevent her son from
developing at spots on his head, but it
hasnt been a problem.
I always hold him a lot, she said. I lay
him on his back and sometimes on his side.
She said their pediatrician also talked to
her about how important it is for her son
to lie on his stomach, while hes awake and
being monitored, so his neck will get stron-
ger.
This tummy time also helps prevent the
development of at spots, Simpson said. She
said parents also can alternate which way the

JULIE DEARDORFF
Chicago Tribune
After a decade of rancor-
ous debate over the risks
and benets of meno-
pausal hormone therapy,
experts from more than a
dozen top medical orga-
nizations worldwide have
nally come to something
resembling a consensus.
What did they decide,
and why are women still
bafed?
What is menopausal
hormone therapy?
Also called hormone
replacement therapy, its
a treatment for women in
the throes of menopause,
the inevitable period of
life when estrogen natu-
rally declines. Taking
estrogen or a combination
of estrogen and another
hormone, progestin, the
synthetic form of proges-
terone, can alleviate some
of the symptoms of meno-
pause, including hot ash-
es, night sweats, insomnia
and vaginal dryness, said
Atlanta endocrinologist
Scott Isaacs. Women
typically hit menopause
around age 51.
Why is hormone thera-
py controversial?
Hormone therapy has
been under intense scru-
tiny since 2002, when
a large study called the
Womens Health Initiative
reported that taking addi-
tional hormones spe-
cically the combination
of estrogen and progestin
increased the risk of
blood clots, stroke, breast
cancer, heart attacks and
gall-bladder disease for
some women.
For a woman with a
uterus, estrogen treat-
ment alone raises her
chance of getting endome-
trial cancer. The research-
ers abruptly halted the
study, concluding that
risks outweighed benets.

Avid tanner Jenna Hoffman sunbathes on the balcony of her apartment in the Turtle Creek
area of Dallas, Texas. She likes to stay tan but also goes to the dermatologist on a regular
basis to make sure shes staying as safe as possible.
Why, when the cancer tie is clear, do people still sunbathe?
LESLIE BARKER
The Dallas Morning News
DALLAS Jenna Hoffman thinks
that people, herself included, generally
look better with a tan better than
bright white, she says.
So most weekends, shes lying out-
side with her eyes closed, listening to
music while the sun darkens her skin.
If she knows shell be outside all day,
she wears sunscreen. Otherwise, I
dont wear it every time because Im
trying to get a tan, says Hoffman, 29,
who lives in Dallas.
Because skin cancer runs in her fam-
ily, and because shes had a few pre-
cancerous spots removed, she goes to
the dermatologist every six months.
Sunbathing is always taking a risk,
says Hoffman, who is blond and fair-
skinned. If anything pops up, Ill get
it removed, she says.
Despite well-publicized research
about risks of sunbathing, despite
skin cancer being the most common
malignancy in the United States and
despite a rise in melanoma rates
the American Cancer Society predicts
77,000 new cases and 9,000 deaths in
2013 Hoffmans attitude isnt all
that uncommon.
One reason is that tanning is
like other unhealthful habits, says
Richardson, Texas, dermatologist Dr.
Cameron Coury.
We know smoking is bad for us, but
people still smoke, says Coury, a phy-
sician with Dermatology Specialists
and on staff at Methodist Richardson
Medical Center. Theres some sort of
satisfaction.
Additionally, theres a social com-
ponent to being tan, she says.
Theyre out at the lake and the
pool and think its fun. Its denitely a
challenge trying to educate someone,
especially living in Texas. We have
300-plus days of sun every year.
Dr. Jerald L. Sklar sighs when asked
why, when sun exposure is responsible
for so many types and cases of skin
cancer, people continue to suntan.
Thats a good question, says
Sklar, a physician on staff at Baylor
University Medical Center. He offers
three possibilities:
A tanning addiction: They get a
brain high that makes them happy, he
says.
A vitamin D issue: Yes, some sun
is needed to help strengthen bones,
he says, but not enough to risk skin
cancer.
An invincible feeling: The younger
crowd teenagers, young adults
think theyre invincible, says
Sklar, who is with Dallas Associated
Dermatologists. They think you have
to have that healthy tan.
Theyre not realizing later in life the
damage this causes.
Says Coury: My younger patients
dont see brown spots or wrinkles or
changing moles. That doesnt mean
when youre 50 and something pops
up, you wont wish youd lived your
younger lives differently.
Shes heartened by parents who
wont let their children go outside
without sunscreen and stores like J.
Crew that sell sun-protective clothing.
But you have to encourage that to
continue when they hit the teen years
and want to rebel, Coury says.
Many people including Hoffman,
who says she looks slimmer when
shes tan associate being bronze
with being healthy. That wasnt always
the case, Coury says. At some points
in history, having pale skin showed
you didnt have to earn a living work-
ing outdoors.
Now though, We live in a time
when everyone is aware of physical
appearance and wants to look good
and young and healthy and all those
things, she says.
Often, in what she calls a weird
contradiction, people are obsessed
about exercise, weight loss and quit-
ting smoking but not about caring for
their skin.
People take their skin for granted a
lot of times unless theres a problem,
she says.
Or, in many cases, someone else has
a problem.
I cant tell you how many people
come in and say someone they know
has been diagnosed or died from mela-
noma, Sklar says.
When a close friend ended up
with the disease, Rebecca Thompson
changed her tanning habits.
Thompson, 39, remembers coating
her skin with baby oil in her teen years
and climbing onto the roof of her
house to sunbathe.
During summer camp, she never
wore sunscreen. In high school and
college, shed sometimes go to a tan-
ning booth, especially if she had an
important event coming up.
Although she likes feeling the sun
on her skin as she reads a book by
the pool, Thompson has cut way back
on her sunbathing. She might go out
about 10 times during the summer,
and I slather on the sunscreen.
When my friend was diagnosed, it
was a wake-up call, says Thompson,
who teaches fourth grade. I still like
to tan; I still like to lay out. But my
skin doesnt get as much sun because I
use so much sunblock.
Another reason she lathers up, she
says, is to avoid getting wrinkles.
Sklar uses that potential outcome
when he cant seem to reach young
women about the skin cancer aspect,
he says.
I try to hit on both to get their
attention, he says. Theyre immortal
at that age, so maybe the skin damage-
wrinkle aspect is better.
Hoffman, who says she gets a sun-
burn about once a month, does make
sure she wears sunglasses.
It looks goofy having raccoon
eyes, she says, but I dont want
wrinkles.
Nina Polvanich Louie and her son, Donovan, share a walk together.
Mother
From page 1C
be a mistake and went back
to buy two different kits.
She got a + sign and
then a happy face. I
couldnt believe it, she
said.
Nina kept the news to
herself for two days, then
blurted it out when she
picked her husband up
from LAX. Are you sure
youre ready to start a fam-
ily? she asked Matt.
And Nina wasnt sure she
was ready to be a mother.
When she told her friend
Roxanne Daniels that she
was pregnant, Nina said,
Oh my God, I just wasnt
expecting this to happen.
I was a little worried
about the adjustment,
Roxanne said.
When Ninas water broke
at 4 a.m. in September
2010, she texted Roxanne,
who immediately started
driving to Los Angeles
from her home near San
Francisco. When she
walked into Ninas room
around 9 a.m., the new
mother was holding her
baby in bed.
Id never seen her smile
like that for anyone,
Roxanne said. She was
just lit up, like the best part
of her was suddenly turned
on.
For Donovans rst

birthday, Nina organized
a large party. She planned
an even bigger celebration
for his second, ordering a
two-tiered red velvet cake,
sending out invitations to
100 people and reserving
space at a nearby park last
September.
But a nagging pain in her
lower back and leg wouldnt
go away. She also couldnt
seem to shake a cough
and runny nose. When she
went to a friends wedding,
she became short of breath
after going onto the dance
oor.
Her father-in-law, James
Louie, a rheumatologist at
UCLA, recommended she
visit one of his colleagues,
who ordered an X-ray.
I just thought I had a
cold or had pulled some-
thing carrying Donovan,
Nina said. I wasnt wor-
ried at all.
When the results came
back, James Louies col-
league showed him the
images.
My heart fell out, he
said.
Nina remembers when
she saw the X-ray for the
rst time. There was a
thick white blotch around
her heart.
Doctors diagnosed
Nina with Stage IV diffuse
large B-cell lymphoma, an
aggressive form of blood
cancer, and decided to treat
it with chemotherapy. They
told Nina she had a good
chance at a full recovery if
they had caught the disease
early.
She and Matt, who didnt
want to be quoted about his
wifes illness for personal
reasons, decided to keep
her disease as secret as pos-
sible from their son.
They kept their sons
routine the same as before,
continuing to train him to
sleep in his crib by himself.
Nina tried to hide her
illness, wearing hats when
her long black hair started
to fall out, and she didnt
allow Donny to come to the
hospital as she was getting
her chemotherapy.
I didnt want him to be
scared, she said.
They made only one
concession. Because the
drugs would weaken Ninas
immune system, doctors
recommended that Donny
stop going to preschool
to reduce the chances of
bringing home germs. By
then, the cancer had grown
so rapidly it was difcult
for Nina to take her son
to school because she was
in so much pain and had
trouble walking.
Donny seemed to sense
something was wrong. He
wouldnt leave his parents
side when they left the
house, and became fright-
ened around strangers.
He knew I was sick but
didnt know how to tell us
he was worried, Nina said,
so he went into a shell.
By January, Nina had

gone through seven cycles
of chemotherapy, and doc-
tors said her cancer was in
remission. She was prepar-
ing to go back to work, and
she re-enrolled Donny in
preschool.
We were so condent
that everything was going
to be ne, she said.
But when Nina went
in for a routine follow-up
scan in March, doctors saw
a large, dark spot in her
brain. Doctors called Matt,
who knelt by Ninas side
and held her hand for a few
moments before he could
break the news to her.
I couldnt even cry,
Nina said.
Surgeons removed a
piece of Ninas skull to take
a biopsy of the mass, which
turned out to be lympho-
ma. They also found more
cancer in her spine.
Doctors began giving
Nina more chemotherapy
and performing regular
spinal taps, a process that
can take 30 minutes and be
excruciating.
She gets through it by
thinking of Donny.
I think about his 5th
birthday, I think about his
10th birthday, I think when
hell get married, Nina
said. I try to remember
why Im doing all of this.
Ninas doctors think that

her best chance at long-
term survival is a bone-
marrow transplant within
a month. Otherwise, she
could try other alterna-
tives, such as injecting
some of her own stem cells
back into her body, but that
could increase her risk of
getting cancer again.
Nina has only been able
to work up the nerve to ask
one young attending physi-
cian what her chances for
survival are.
It was terrifying, she
said. Who wants to know
the answer tothat question?
The doctor saidher chanc-
es were over 50 percent, but
Nina wasnt sure how accu-
rate that estimate was.
But I have to believe that
theyre putting me through
all of this for a reason and
theres hope, she said.
Her family and friends
have been organizing drives
to nd donor matches, hop-
ing that thousands of peo-
ple will swab their mouths
to see if they are a match.
So far, about 7,500 have
tested themselves. None
have been a match.
As her son grows older

and becomes more percep-
tive, its harder for Nina to
hide her illness. He notices
when she goes to the hospi-
tal, saying: Donnys sick, too.
Donny go to the hospital.
When Nina returned from
her skull biopsy, Donny
seemed scared of her scar.
Yucky, he declared.
Nina has begun hoard-
ing the time she has with
Donny. Now, when he
wakes up in the middle of
the night, she lets him into
bed with her and Matt.
When you come home
fromthe hospital, she said,
you want to hold your
baby and tell him every-
things going to be OK.
One day this spring,

Ninas father drove her to
the hospital for her usual
scans. After the procedures,
they went to pick up Donny
at preschool. Wearing a big
grin, he shouted Mommy,
Mommy, showing her the
sticker he had received for
good behavior.
When they got home,
Nina and Donny played
with his toys on the living
room oor. After half an
hour, Donny went to his
room and got a blanket.
Sleepy, he said.
Nina took him into the
master bedroom with a
bottle of milk and his favor-
ite book, Pete the Cat.
She held him in her lap
while she read and then lay
down with him when she
nished.
Nina rubbed her sons
back as he drifted off. When
she was sure he was asleep,
she put her head down next
to his and closed her eyes.
baby faces in the crib
each night, which helps
keep from putting too
much pressure on one
part of the head for too
long.
About 3 percent of chil-
dren have severe cases of
plagiocephaly, Simpson
said. In these instances,
when the baby is about
6 months old, a neuro-
surgeon evaluates and
decides whether he or
she needs treatment.
This usually means
wearing a helmet almost
all the time for three to
six months.
If nothing is done,
some of these kids can
have permanent chang-
es, Simpson said. Not
only is there a flat spot
on the back of their head,
but one side of their face
might protrude. One ear
might be lower set.

From page 1C
Almost overnight, mil-
lions of women abandoned
hormone therapy.
What have we learned
over the past 10 years?
Hormone therapy still
has an important role in
treating women who have
symptoms, but it shouldnt
be used to prevent disease.
Its best to take the lowest
possible dose for the short-
est amount of time. For
symptom relief, if youre
healthy and in your 50s,
and it has been less than
10 years since menopause,
its pretty much a green
light, said Dr. Cynthia
Stuenkel a clinical pro-
fessor of medicine at the
University of California
at San Diego. Hormone
therapy is also benecial
for bone health and may
decrease mortality and
cardiovascular disease.
But its not right for every-
one; the risk level depends
on a womans age, health
history and the number of
years since her menopause
began, according to The
Endocrine Society.
Whats still up for
debate?
Whether hormone ther-
apy has a preventive role,
Stuenkel said. Theres
some evidence that estro-
gen therapy can effectively
reduce heart disease, but
its not universally agreed
on, she said. Estrogen has
a positive effect on bones
and can help with treating
osteoporosis, but its not a
rst-line treatment, Isaacs
added. Swiss research-
ers recently showed that
boosting estrogen might
enhance muscle strength
in post-menopausal
women. Still, last year the
U.S. Preventive Services
Task Force recommended
against using hormonal
therapy to prevent chronic
conditions. Until more is
known, use hormones
if you have symptoms,
Stuenkel said. If you dont,
make some lifestyle chang-
es to help prevent heart
disease and other aging-
related issues.
Move more, try the
Mediterranean diet, stop
smoking. Eat, drink and be
merry with a friend, she
suggested.
William Young, presi-
dent of The Endocrine
Society, stressed that for
healthy women under 60
who are in early meno-
pause, hormone therapy
can safely treat hot ashes,
mood swings and vaginal
dryness.
Too many women
dont know this or are so
confused about hormone
therapy that they are not
receiving any treatment at
all, Young said.
What about breast can-
cer?
Its complicated. The
increased risk, which is
small, is primarily due to
adding progesterone to
estrogen therapy. Basically,
after age 50 a woman has a
3 in 1,000 chance of devel-
oping breast cancer. If she
uses combined hormone
therapy for a year, the
same therapy used in the
Womens Health Initiative
study, her risk will be 4 in
1,000, Stuenkel said.
That can be expressed
as a 33 percent increased
risk, which to most of us
sounds much more omi-
nous than an increase of 1
per 1,000, she said.
For women who havent
had a hysterectomy, pro-
gesterone can help prevent
uterine cancer, Isaacs said.
But some of the heart
disease issues have been
tied to progesterone, he
said. A recent study in the
Journal of the National
Cancer Institute provided
more evidence showing
estrogen plus progestin in
post-menopausal women is
linked to an increased risk
for breast cancer.
Risk is also age-relat-
ed, Isaacs said. The saf-
est candidate is a young
woman who may have had
a hysterectomy, who uses
low doses over a short
time and uses a patch.
A patch is safer than a
pill because a pill can lead
to blood clots, he said.
Are there natural options
for relief of hot ashes?
Breathing, relaxation
techniques and clinical
hypnosis show the most
promise. Native Americans
traditionally used the herb
black cohosh to treat
menstrual irregularity;
research suggests it could
have a role in menopause.
But a systematic review
of 16 studies found theres
not enough evidence to
support the use of black
cohosh. Phytoestrogens,
which are found in soy,
have run into the same
problem.
Though popular, the
studies are of poor quali-
ty, and, so far, soy hasnt
been shown to be effec-
tive. Researchers at the
Botanical Center at the
University of Illinois at
Chicago are investigat-
ing the safety and effi-
cacy of several plants,
including black cohosh,
red clover, chaste berry,
valerian, hops and dong
quoi.
How do I know if I need
hormonal therapy?

Breast reconstruction a personal decision
Cancer survivor Jane Feibel of Missouri says many factors play into
the decision whether to get reconstructive surgery.
SARAH BRYAN MILLER
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
ST. LOUIS When I
received my second diag-
nosis of breast cancer in
November, it came with
good and bad news.
The good was that,
unlike the rst, Stage 3
cancer, this one was in the
early stages. No chemo-
therapy or radiation would
be required. The bad was
that the treatment was
surgery: a mastectomy,
removing the entire breast.
The rst time, I had no
decisions to make; I did
what I was told to save my
life. The second time, I had
a big one: Whether or not
to undergo reconstructive
surgery. Its an intensely
personal decision, and it
involves more than body
image. A little research at
the beginning can help to
ease possible regrets later
on.
Actress Angelina Jolie
recently put the subject in
the foreground when she
went public with her own
situation: With a genetic
disposition to breast can-
cer, she had pre-emptive
mastectomies and recon-
struction. Most women
have to make their deci-
sions quickly, in the emo-
tionally charged wake of a
fresh cancer diagnosis.
Almost 300,000 women
receive new breast cancer
diagnoses each year. Thats
a lot of decisions, and
oncologists and surgeons
come at them from differ-
ent perspectives.
Dr. Matthew Ellis is
chief of the breast oncol-
ogy section at the Siteman
Cancer Center, and an
internationally noted
researcher into the causes
and cures of breast cancer.
Hes opposed to leaping
into anything without con-
sulting a full team of physi-
cians.
My personal, deeply
felt belief is that (patients)
are best served if they can
have a decision made in
collaboration with a medi-
cal oncologist, a surgeon
and a radiation oncologist,
so that a balance can be
set, he said.
Mastectomy and recon-
struction offer an incred-
ibly complex set of issues,
he added. The option to
have reconstruction is
always there, but often
inappropriate. Patients
need to be carefully coun-
seled as to the real risks
and benets of going
through reconstructive
surgery.
Jolies situation is rare.
When breast cancer is
present, reconstructive
surgery must be carefully
timed with chemotherapy
and radiation, Ellis said.
People whove been
through chemotherapy are
at high risk of complica-
tions.
For decades, breast can-
cer has been treated with
cut, burn and poison
surgery, radiation, chemo.
In recent years, the order
has changed, with chemo
coming rst and often
shrinking the tumor to the
point where its possible to
have a lumpectomy instead
of a mastectomy.
Increasingly, said Ellis,
were trying to get the
systemic therapy, the che-
motherapy, out of the way
rst. Only when thats all
complete, when the patient
is healed (from chemo), do
we proceed with mastec-
tomy and reconstruction.
The cure for breast cancer
is the priority.
Radiation adds a real
wild card to the equation,
he said. If breast implants
are already in place, it can
damage them, as well as
the overall appearance of
the breast. It also can dam-
age the chest wall, making
reconstruction more dif-
cult, and can result in com-
plications.
Dr. Julie A.
Margenthaler, a surgeon at
Siteman, focuses her prac-
tice on breast cancer.
Reconstruction is a
part of every single dis-
cussion I have with new
patients, she said. There
are very few contraindica-
tions (for it). I would say
that the surgical decisions
are more focused on the
breast surgeon and the
plastic surgeon.
Margenthaler said she
usually offers immediate
reconstruction, done at
the same time as the mas-
tectomy. Federal law man-
dates that insurance cover
it. I help (the patient)
understand how she would
look with and without
reconstruction, and what
it would feel like.
Margenthaler agrees
that chemo and radiation
are considerations, and
that killing cancer cells
comes rst, but noted that
there are ways to preserve
appearance that dont get
in the way of treatment.
There are some data out
there to suggest that there
are psychological and emo-
tional benets to recon-
struction, with self-image
and issues of sexuality.
Reconstruction at the
time of the mastectomy
means better-looking
results; skin and some-
times nipples can be pre-
served. It does come at a
cost. Reconstruction adds
to recovery time and the
number of procedures,
it adds pain, and there
can be complications,
some of them serious.
The reconstructed breast
is all look, no feel, said
Margenthaler. Theres no
sensation.
When implants are used,
spacers are put under the
muscles of the chest wall.
Over a period of months,
theyre injected with saline
solution until they reach
the desired size; then
permanent implants are
put in place. When the
patients own tissues are
used (the technical term
is autologous), a muscle
ap is cut from the back or
abdomen and secured in
place. The recovery time
is longer, and there can be
permanent loss of muscle
strength.
Kara Kuhns, 34, an
elementary school speech
pathologist from Arthur,
Ill., with a husband and
two young daughters g-
ured from the get-go she
would have reconstruction.
I just thought it would be
best and easiest long-term
on my self-esteem to have
reconstruction. Whatever
my doctors thought would
be best is what we went
with.
Kuhns had chemo all
last summer and surgery
in the fall, followed by
radiation. She had her nal
reconstruction in May, and
shes very happy with the
results. I think it looks
very natural.
When Jane Feibel faced a
mastectomy, she roamed
the Web for information
about reconstruction. But
in the end I saw no point
in adding to the list of pos-
sible complications, she
said.
With questionable den-
sities in the other breast,
and in consultation with
Margenthaler, her sur-
geon, Feibel had both
removed. She has no
regrets. Shes symmetri-
cal, her scars have healed
well and prosthetics, she
said, are easy to wear.
In my case, a lumpec-
tomy from the rst can-
cer meant I was already
asymmetrical. My oncol-
ogist advised that radia-
tion on that side made
me a poor candidate for
reconstruction.
Unable to face the pos-
sibility of a third diag-
nosis of breast cancer, I
opted for a bilateral mas-
tectomy and chose to do
without reconstruction.
I grieved the loss, but it
was the right decision
for me.

Delay inAlzheimers diagnosis proves costly
ANITA CREAMER
The Sacramento Bee
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
Claire Schooley tried
for several years to get doc-
tors to diagnose what was
going on with her husband,
David, now 57.
He would ask her the
same questions again and
again, never remember-
ing the answers. He would
grow confused. Two years
ago, on a trip to San Jose
with their kids, now ages 6
and 12, he drove 60 miles
in the wrong direction
from their hotel, insisting
the whole time he knew
where he was going.
Maybe his memory loss
was the result of depres-
sion over two job losses,
most recently in 2009, doc-
tors told the Sacramento
couple. Maybe it was
stress.
He was growing silent
and distant, increasingly
lost in his own world.
Id see him sitting in
front of the TV at home,
said Claire Schooley, 45,
a network engineer. Hed
say he was taking a break,
but hed forgotten what he
was doing or what room he
was in.
He never was like this
before. We were having a
tough time. I knew in my
heart there was something
wrong.
Two days before
Thanksgiving 2012 and
almost two years after he
sought help fromhis prima-
ry care physician David
Schooley nally was diag-
nosed with Alzheimers
disease. For people with
the degenerative brain dis-
ease, delays in diagnosis
can exact a steep cost.
Without timely diag-
nosis, people with
Alzheimers lose valuable
months when medications
can most effectively slow
their memory loss. The
delay in diagnosis robs
families of the chance to
enjoy their time together
and make nancial and
legal plans for the future.
Alzheimers is now the
nations sixth-leading cause
of death, with 5.4 million
people affected. Even so,
physicians can be slow to
identify the disease in the
elderly, despite the fact
that old age is the greatest
risk factor. And doctors
can be even more reluctant
to diagnose people below
the age of 65 who suffer
from the rare, early-onset
form of the illness.
Honestly, its a routine
thing that families in gen-
eral try to get the person
seen by a knowledgeable
physician for more than
a year, even a couple of
years, said neurologist Dr.
Charles DeCarli, director of
the UC Davis Alzheimers
Disease Center.
The U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and
Prevention estimates
that only 4 percent of
Americans with the disease
are younger than 65. But
with the aging of the baby
boom generation and
the coming Alzheimers
epidemic, projected at 14
million cases by 2050
the hard numbers behind
that younger-onset per-
centage continue to rise.
Typically, experts say,
families end up frustrated
in seeking help, because
primary care physicians
arent looking for dementia
in people still in the prime
of life.
Many providers nd it
hard to believe that some-
one so young could have
dementia or Alzheimers,
said Elizabeth Edgerly, the Alzheimers Association of
Northern Californias chief
program ofcer.
Its really difcult.
People in their 50s are mis-
diagnosed with bipolar dis-
order or depression or even
midlife crisis. Or theyre
told, Of course, you have
memory problems. Who
doesnt?
When Bev ONeil noticed
that her friend and employ-
er, Karen Cozakas, was
asking the same questions
over and over, she thought
the memory loss might be
related to menopause.
We didnt know, ONeil
said.
Cozakas, now 60, a
former technology execu-
tive who lives outside
Placerville, was a compe-
tent, upbeat and organized
woman. Then the bank
began calling to report
bounced checks: Karen, it
turned out, could no longer
balance her checkbook.
It seemed everything
was going ne, and all of a
sudden, everything seemed
to shift, said Cozakas. It
came on me so fast. Well,
to me, it seemed fast. It
seemed funny. I forgot little
things here and there, but
the little things got bigger
and bigger.
And all of a sudden, we
were in a bigger place.
Doctors diagnosed her, at
age 56, with mild cognitive
impairment memory
loss that in an estimated
one-quarter of patients
leads to Alzheimers
but prescribed none of the
drugs that can delay the
progression of forgetful-
ness.
A few months later,
she was diagnosed with
Alzheimers. Now shes
on two medications and
participates in a clini-
cal trial through the UC
Davis Alzheimers Disease
Center. And ONeil, her
longtime friend, is her care-
giver.
Were better off knowing
than not, said her husband,
Michael Cozakas, 61. You
need to know and react
accordingly. I think denial
is worse than the disease. If
you deny, you expect things
to change. They dont.
They get worse.
If you dont have a xed
baseline of understanding,
youre constantly upset and
frustrated.
David Schooley, right, keeps a close eye on his two children Nathaniel, 12, and Hannah, 6, in Sacramento,
Calif. Almost two years after David went to his primary care doctor complaining of forgetfulness and
confusion, he was finally diagnosed with Alzheimers disease just before Thanksgiving 2012.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I was
recently hired for a
job I have wanted for
years. I am a coun-
selor for troubled
teens. I love it, and
I empathize with
those I work with.
(Ten years ago, I was a teen placed in
a similar facility for some of the same
reasons.)
The problem is, when I was in a
dark period of my life, I was a cutter.
I still have deep scars on one arm
that are noticeable. How do I handle
this now that Im in the psychological
field? I dont wish to go into detail
about my past, as that would be poor
boundaries as an employee and coun-
selor. But its hard to avoid with hot
summer weather here and my past
literally on my sleeve.
Please help. Some actions have
permanent consequences. I hope this
will remind other cutters that their
wounds may be something they wish
they could undo once they are emo-
tionally healed.
Nameless in America
Dear Nameless: I hope your com-
ments will remind other cutters not
only that actions have consequences,
but also that there are more effective
solutions for emotional pain than self-
injury. This is something you should
discuss with your employers. My
thinking is, if your clients see your
scars, it may help them to talk about
their own cutting, which would be
therapeutic.
Dear Abby: I recently became a fa-
ther for the third time. My children
are 18, 5 and 3 weeks old. My wife,
Molly, had complications during
this last pregnancy that caused her
blood pressure to remain in a height-
ened state for the last few months of
her pregnancy. She had been hoping
for a little girl, but we were blessed
with another boy.
Im turning 40 and my wife is 37.
I have reached a point in my life
where Im ready to be done changing
diapers, but Molly wants to try again
for a little girl. I have issues with my
back and have a hard time getting to
my 5-year-olds level now. Im afraid
if we continue having children, Ill be
unable to be the involved dad I want
to be.
Am I a bad husband for feeling
this way? I dont want Molly to go
through life regretting not having
the daughter she always wanted, but
there is no guarantee it will happen if
we decide to try again.
I make a fair living, but with ad-
ditional mouths to feed come addi-
tional financial responsibilities. Im
afraid I wont be able to provide for
my growing family as I need to. Am
I right in my thinking, or am I being
overly cautious?
Stopping at Three in Pennsylvania
Dear Stopping At Three: You are
thinking clearly. At 37, and with her
medical history, your wife would be
considered at risk if she becomes
pregnant again. While I sympathize
with the fact that she yearns for a
daughter, allow me to share a true
story with you:
A man was in a similar situation to
yours, but he had four daughters. So
he and his wife decided they would
try one more time for a son. Sure
enough, his wife became pregnant.
She delivered beautiful identical twin
... daughters. At that point he gave up
and had a vasectomy!
DEAR ABBY

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Sometimes you wonder whether
you were cut out for the job
you are doing. Are you strong
enough? Probably not initially,
but its the job that makes you
strong as you do it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youre
going to give your time away to
the things that interest you. You
try to do so mindfully, but overly
seductive electronics and media
make this challenging for you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sure,
maybe they are competing with
you. But at least your friends
and neighbors make you aspire
to be your best self. Youll walk
that fine line between encour-
agement and competition today.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
can be afraid of something and
want it at the same time. But
if youre going to get it, your
want has to outweigh your fear.
Immerse yourself in thoughts of
what you want.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Ancient man
regarded volcanoes as Gods
anger. Modern man understands
its just natures way of letting off
pressure. But that doesnt make
it any less destructive. When you
come across emotional volca-
noes, flee the danger zone.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
desire to become more self-suffi-
cient, and you will. You only have
to put more of yourself into the
projects you know will forward
your interests.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
are successful in part for your
ability to make snap decisions.
However, this is a day to avoid
jumping to conclusion or
judgment.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You feel
as though youre doing better in
one area and worse in another.
Just know that growth can be
strange like this, but all is build-
ing in a positive way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Love yourself enough to give
yourself the things you want. It
will take sacrifice. But be a good
coach to yourself, the kind who
keeps an eye to the long view.
Dont let yourself give up too
soon.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You hold yourself to a different
standard from that of the others
around you, mostly because it
never occurred to you that you
should do what they are doing.
You are your own person, and
thats working for you now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
enjoy your setting. Its the spar-
kle of windows, a shimmer in the
air, the intrigue of strangers. You
may feel nostalgic for this time
even as you experience it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
dont have to be a charming
conversationalist if you are a
charmed listener. This is such
a rare gift that it trumps many
of the other social graces. Your
deep wells of empathy will help
you develop this skill.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (July 16).
Success accompanies your
methods this month, especially
when you put effort into sales.
Community events affect you,
and youll become a leader
in August. Youll follow tradi-
tion and make big bucks in
September. Be discerning in love.
Your lucky numbers are: 40, 23,
31, 17 and 49.
