HANOVER TWP. Jared Swank had a
great time at his prom last Friday, but his
happiness turned to hurt when a teacher he
trusted showed a video of him dancing with
his transgender date to students in her class-
room on Monday.
I was very, very hurt, said Swank, an 18-
year-old senior at Hanover Area Junior/Se-
nior High School. I was upset by the fact
that she was showing other students, be-
cause most of them are males and straight
people dont like tohear about gay people, so
theyll sit there and make fun
of them, he said.
He said the teacher should
absolutely not have shown
the video in class. She told
me that she wanted to show
her daughter, not the entire
school, Swank said in an in-
terviewat the NEPARainbow
Alliance offices in Wilkes-
Barre on Thursday afternoon.
And Swank said its not the first time he
has been bullied at the school. He has been
openlygaysincetheeighthgrade, andhehas
suffered bullying and ridicule from both
teachers and students at Hanover Area the
entire time he has attended the school, he
said on Thursday.
Ive been made fun of by teachers who
have said things. Its just an ongoing thing
and Id like to see other students not have to
go through this. One of my friends got ex-
pelled not long ago for (his reaction to) be-
ing called gay. Its just ridiculous that every-
body has to go through this, Swank said.
Ive been made fun of by teachers who have said things.

Luzerne County has approved
the hiringof twoattorneys for the
Public Defenders Office, but the
fate of four other positions and
the appointment of attorneys for
roughly 450 indigent defendants
who have been denied represen-
tation by the office remains in
limbo.
That was the result of a mara-
thon court hearing held Thurs-
day before Lu-
zerne County
Senior Judge
Joseph Augello,
who heard ar-
guments in the
lawsuit Chief
Public Defend-
er Al Flora Jr.
filedagainst the
county.
Augello presided over nearly
10 hours of testimony and argu-
ments as attorneys for the county
and the American Civil Liberties
Union, which is representing Flo-
ra, battledover Floras request for
a preliminary injunction.
The injunction seeks to force
the county to hire six more attor-
neys and to pay for private law-
yers to represent defendants who
have been turned down by the
Public Defenders Office based
on Floras decision in December
to limit the types of cases the of-
fice will accept. That number,
which was 300 when Flora filed
suit last month, has now grown
to about 450.
Part of the dispute appears to
have been resolved as County
Manger Robert Lawton testified
he is prepared to allow Flora to
hire two full-time attorneys
whose positions are already in-
cluded in the 2012 budget.
The surprise announcement
was welcome, said ACLU attor-
ney Vic Walczak. But a dispute re-
mains over the other four posi-
tions, as well as who will repre-
sent the defendants who have
been denied representation.
Augello took the matter under
advisement. He did not indicate
when he will rule.

neys in the Public Defenders Of-
fice are handling and whether

WILKES-BARRE The Wilkes-Barre Ar-
ea School Board has hired a firmto conduct
a forensic audit of bills fromformer solicitor
Anthony Lupas. The action came at
Wednesdays meeting, where the bigger
news was Superintendent Jeff Nameys an-
nounced retirement.
The board awarded a contract for the au-
dit to StoneBridge Business Partners of
Rochester, N.Y., for a total of $13,245. The
firmwill scrutinizebills submittedbyLupas
from July 1, 2006, to the
present. The audit was
prompted by skyrocket-
ing charges from Lupas.
ATimes Leader review
showed annual payments
to Lupas, the district so-
licitor for four decades,
increased six-fold in the
last three years.
The time frame being scrutinized is the
same stretch of bills federal agents have re-
questedtosee. Lupas has beenchargedwith
bilking $246,000 froma client through a bo-
gus investment scheme unrelated to his dis-
trict work, and faces civil suits from other
alleged victims. The board also voted to ac-
cept a proposal from Mark J. Sobeck Roof
Consulting of Wilkes-Barre to investigate,
design and inspect the Meyers High School
boiler house roof at a cost of $3,674, and to
pay TCI Environmental Services Inc. of
Wilkes-Barre $9,900 to inspect the same
roofing project for asbestos.
The board rejected a proposal by TCI to
inspect for asbestos ina water mainreplace-
ment project at Meyers. Several members
noted the proposal did not provide an esti-
mated cost for the work.
When a slew of purchases for the sports
teams in the three high schools came up for
a vote, boardmember Dino Galella suggest-
ed the $65,116 total be trimmed by 10 per-
cent. Board President Maryanne Toole
noted that initial requests by various coach-
es had already been reduced several times
duringthe budgetingprocess, but the board
agreed to ask athletic directors at each
school to reduce their total purchases by10
percent.
The school board scheduled another
meeting of the budget and finance commit-
tee on May 16, 6 p.m. at the administration
building, 730 S. MainSt., Wilkes-Barre. The
meeting is open to the public. A special
meeting, primarily toapprove a preliminary
budget, was scheduled for 6 p.m. May 24.
The next work session and regular meeting
will be held 6 p.m. on June11and13 respec-
tively.

Simpson couldnt be him-

that would have meant
being openly gay.
Now a 20-year-old junior
at Kings College, Simpson
grew up in northwestern
New Jersey in what he
called a very narrow-mind-
ed community.
It was difficult not being
able to be myself. In high
school, I definitely felt
different. It sort of made
me feel insecure at times
because, at my high school,
students would throws
words around like gay or
fag in a negative way. It

WILKES-BARRE A Hazle-
ton man charged with shooting
and killing another man in a
game of poker that went sour in
February 2011 pleaded guilty
Thursday to third-degree mur-
der and other related charges.
Jaboar A. Stanley, 30, of East
Mine Street, pleaded guilty to
charges of third-degree murder,
receiving stolen property, tam-
pering with evidence and two
counts of possession of a firearm
before Luzerne County Judge
Lesa Gelb.
Prosecutors say Stanley shot
andkilledEmmanuel J. Felix, 20,
on Feb. 15 after an incident in
their shared double-block home.
First Assistant District Attor-
ney Samuel Sanguedolce said
Stanley faces a maximum of 40
years in prison on the murder
charge and could face additional
time on the four related charges.
He is scheduled to be sen-
tenced on June 19.
The receiving stolen property
charge carries a five-year maxi-
mum prison sentence; tamper-
ing withevidence, two year max-
imum; and the possession of a
firearm charges each carry a 10
year maximum, Sanguedolce
said.
Stanley was represented by at-
torneys William Ruzzo and Jo-
nathan Blum.
According to court papers, po-
lice responded to the double-
block house for a shooting just
after 1 a.m. Feb. 15. Felix was
found lying on the first floor in a
middle room in the 122 E. Mine
St. side.
During a jailhouse interview,
Stanley toldinvestigators he was
in possession of a Taurus .45-cal-
iber handgun that was on a table
being used to play poker. He said
he picked it up and fired a round
whenFelixpickedupsome of his
poker chips, the complaint says.
Stanleysaidheinitiallyhidthe
gun in an abandoned building
several blocks away. He later re-
trieved it and buried it in a sock
in West Mahanoy Township. In-
vestigators retrievedthegunand
later said it was reported stolen
in West Mahanoy Township in
October 2004.
Stanley said he bought the
handgun from another man two
or three years ago, according to
the complaint.
Sanguedolce saidStanleytam-
pered with evidence by burying
the gun and was also in posses-
sion of a .38-caliber handgun.
Family members of Felix and
Stanley were in court Thursday.
Stanley was permitted to speak
with his seven young children
briefly before and after the hear-
ing.
Stanleys attorneys said their
client has writtena letter of apol-
ogy to Felixs family and wanted
to speak to them Thursday.
Gelb said she felt it would be
better to wait until the sentenc-
ing date for Stanley to address
the victims family.

Drilling mud spill in Dallas Township wetlands area is contained
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
For the second time in a week, workers used vacuum
trucks to remove drilling mud that burst through the
ground during horizontal boring for Chief Gathering LLCs
Wyoming County Pipeline project, this time near a wet-
lands area along Upper Demunds Road in Dallas Township.
Crews surrounded the seepage with hay bales and sucked
up the mud into vacuum trucks that moved in and out of
the site on Thursday. Chief spokeswoman Kristi Gittins said
Thursday afternoon that the incident had been brought
under control. The state Department of Environmental
Protection visited the site, approved the remediation plans
and will make regular follow-up visits, Gittins said. Last
Friday and throughout last weekend crews worked to con-
tain and clean up a similar breakthrough near the Kunkle
Fire Company on Kunkle-Alderson Road that occurred dur-
ing drilling for the same pipeline. Gittins said such spills are
not uncommon and occur in any industry that bores un-
derground to build pipelines. Drilling mud is used to carry
drill cuttings away from the bit and out of the wellhead
during drilling. Gittins said no chemicals or additives are
used when boring for the pipeline.
LUZERNE Council didnt
contest a $10,000 settlement
agreement Wednesday in a feder-
al lawsuit filed against the bor-
ough by former Treasurer Do-
lores Seitz.
Eric Brown, the attorney who
represented the borough and
council members Judy Gober, Mi-
chael Jancuska, Tony Perzia, Ma-
ry Ellen Schell and Bill Turcan,
said Seitz alleged the borough
and the aforementioned council
members violated her First
Amendment rights. Council elim-
inated Seitzs position in January
2011, citing cost-containment
measures. Seitz heldthejobfor14
years.
Luzerne Borough strongly de-
nies the allegations asserted in
the complaint filed by Ms. Seitz,
Jancuska, council president, read
fromapreparedstatement. How-
ever, based solely upon economic
considerations, (the borough)
will not object to the terms of the
settlement tendered by the bor-
oughs risk-sharing pool.
Under the agreement, the bor-
oughwill paySeitz$10,000, afrac-
tion of what was originally
sought, said Brown, who
wouldnt state what that amount
was. The settlement will be paid
out through the Pennsylvania In-
tergovernmental Risk Manage-
ment Association, a group self-in-
surance pool, which negotiated
the settlement.
Council agreed on little else.
Throughout much of the 90-min-
utemeeting, council members ex-
changed accusations, sarcastic
comments and shouts with each
other and members of the audi-
ence. At one point, Councilman
Kurt Santayana suggested the
boroughs balance sheet should
be reviewed more frequently to
avoid any financial surprises at
the end of the year.
Were not going to make our
budget again, he said. Were
continuing to lose money. This
borough cant afford $50,000 to
$60,000inattorneyfees year after
year, he said referencing the fees
paid by the borough to solicitor
Jonathan Spohrer.
Quote an accurate number,
Spohrer said repeatedly.
After researchingthefigures on
a computer in the meeting room,
council announced that Spohrer
was paid $16,713.84 last year.
Sixteen thousand! shouted
Spohrer. Dideveryonehear that?
Not 60,000.
Whena womaninthe audience
asked if the borough could cut
back on legal services to save
money, the fiery exchanges grew
more intense.
Its not just about money, said
Santayana. Its about legal ad-
vice.
Council member Mary Ellen
Schell shot back at Santayana.
Youre taking another spin on it,
right? she asked. You sit there
andstir the pot andsay, Lets out-
source everything.
Councilman Bill Turcan asked
Santayana if he was accusing the
solicitor of giving incorrect ad-
vice.
I think there are solicitors out
there that can give us better ad-
vice, Santayana replied, prior to
motioningtointerviewthree new
solicitors with the intention of re-
placing Spohrer.
Jason Tarreto seconded the
motion. Tarreto and Santayana
were the only council members
who voted for it.
In other business, police Chief
Patti ODonnell announced the
borough is developing a crime
watch committee and is looking
for residents to get involved. Any-
one wishingtobecome a member
of the committee or to volunteer

SCRANTON A small plane
that crashed near a Wayne Coun-
ty airport, killing two aviation
students from a New York col-
lege and injuring a third, was not
flying as any part of a college
program, a spokesman said
Thursday.
The pair who died in Wednes-
day nights crash were identified
as 34-year-old pilot Patrick She-
ridan of Long Beach, N.Y., and
19-year-old passenger Casey Fal-
coner of Garden City Park, N.Y.
Authorities identifiedthe surviv-
ing passenger as 21-year-old
Evan Kisseloff of Oceanside,
N.Y.
Wayne County coroner Ed-
ward Howell said all three men
were students in the aviation
programat Farmingdale College
at the State University of New
York. Howell said autopsies will
be conducted today. Farming-
dale spokesmanPatrick Calabria
said the plane was not owned by
the college andthe flight was not
part of any college program.
The campus is in shock, Ca-
labria said. Were all trying to
come to grips with this. Our
hearts are with the family and
friends of those killed and in-
jured.
Calabria said the college avia-
tion program has existed since
the 1960s, and has a pilot train-
ing track and an airport manage-
ment track. Currently, approxi-
mately 200 students are enrolled
in the aviation program.
Sheridan was a senior, as is
Kisseloff, according to Calabria;
Falconer was a sophomore.
The Federal Aviation Admin-
istration and the National Trans-
portation Safety Board are inves-
tigating the crash.

GUNTOWN, Miss. A man-
hunt for a fugitive accused of kid-
napping and a double-slaying
endedThursday after the suspect
apparently shot himself anddied.
The girls he fled with were found
safe, police said.
Adam Mayes, 35, was killed
Thursday evening after author-
ities acted on a tip and found him
in the area near New Albany,
Miss. When they went to arrest
him, he shot himself in the head,
said Guntown Police Chief Mi-
chael Hall.
The girls, Alexandra Bain, 12,
and Kyliyah Bain, 8, were being
taken to a hospital for observa-
tion, Hall said. It was not immedi-
ately clear if they were with May-
es when he was killed.
Mayes had been charged with
first-degree murder in the April
27 deaths of Jo Ann Bain, 31, and
her daughter, Adrienne, 14. Their
bodies were foundburiedoutside
the Mayes home a week after
they were reported missing by Jo
Ann Bains husband.
Mayes wife, Teresa, also is
charged with first-degree murder
in the deaths. She told investiga-
tors he killed Jo Ann and
Adrienne Bain at their White-
ville, Tenn., home so he could ab-
duct the two young sisters, ac-
cording to court documents.
Teresa Mayes told investiga-
tors that after she saw her hus-
band kill the two in the garage at
the Bain home, she drove him,
the younger girls and the bodies
to Mississippi, according to affi-
davits filed in court. She faces six
felony counts in the case: two
first-degree murder charges and
four especially aggravated kid-
napping charges.
Authorities refused to com-
ment on the motive for the April
27 slayings and abductions.
Mayes mother-in-law Josie
Tate told The Associated Press
that Mayes thought the missing
sisters might actually be his
daughters and it caused prob-
lems in his marriage to her
daughter, Teresa, who is jailed in
the case.

FNCB. The order, which affirmed an ad-
ministrative law judges ruling, was is-
suedinresponse toDeNaples allegedly-
ing to state gaming officials about past
ties to organized crime figures when he
was awarded a casino license to operate
Mount Airy Casino and Resort in Mon-
roe County.
Dauphin County prosecutors filed
perjury charges against DeNaples in Ja-
nuary 2008. Those charges were with-
drawninApril 2009 under anagreement
with prosecutors in Dauphin County
that compelled DeNaples to transfer his
interest in the casino to a trust for his
children and grandchildren.
The administrative lawjudge claimed
the withdrawal of perjury charges in-
cluded DeNaples agreement to enter in-
to a pretrial diversion program.
DeNaples challenged the Federal Re-
serves ruling that barred his controlling
interests in FNCB and Urban Financial
Group Inc., of Bridgeport, Conn., anoth-
er bank he directs.
DeNaples claimed the ruling harmed
himintwoways: byforcinghimtoresign
from his position at FNCB without any
assurances that the Federal Reserve will
not seektoprevent himfromreturningif

ily will experience substantial loss.
A three member panel for the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the District of Co-
lumbia denied DeNaples emergency
stay, citing DeNaples has not satisfied
the stringent requirements for a stay
pending appeal.

WILKES-BARRE In the five years
downtown business owners have paid
for services inadditiontothoseprovided
by the city, tons of garbage has been
hauled away, graffiti removed and store-
fronts filled, all reasons enough, said
supporters of the program, tocontinue it
for a second term.
Participants in the Downtown Wilkes-
Barre Business Improvement District
presented their
case Thursday
night at a public
hearing before
members of Wilkes-
Barre City Council,
saying much has
been done and
there is still more to
do.
They asked for
another six years in
order to build upon
the strong founda-
tion laidsince the programwent intoef-
fect in 2007.
We dont believe the work is done,
said Elizabeth Graham of Riggs Asset
Management and chairwoman of the
Diamond City Partnership, which man-
ages the program. We think that we
need another term of the business im-
provement district in order to take our
take our downtown to the next level.
The first term focused on cleaning up
the downtown and making it safe, said
Graham. They will continue to be pro-
gram mainstays and more effort will be
put intobusiness recruitment anddown-
town marketing.
A total of 292 business owners pay
2.75 percent of their properties Luzerne
County assessment for services such as
added police patrols, graffiti removal
and trash removal. Their median annual
fee is a little more than $244.
The programwill keepits fee the same
for the first year of the newterm, andthe
increases in the following five years will
be pegged to inflation, explained Gra-
ham.
We recognize that the economy is
still getting its footing andwe want to be
prudent with the investment that the
downtown property owners are making
in the BID, she said.
The programs proposed 2012-2013
budget listed $212,000 in annual reve-
nues fromratepayers, another $88,000in
voluntary payments from nonprofits,
$70,000 ingrants and$2,000 inmiscella-
neous income.
Expenses were: $153,000 for supple-
mentary cleaning; $21,000, marketing/
promotion; $30,000, business recruit-
ment/retention; $70,000, faade grant
program; $78,000, administration; and
$20,000, collectible reserve.
None of the five people who spoke at
thehearingopposedtheBID, but afewof
them had suggestions for improving it.

WILKES-BARRE Bouncing around
the dance floor to the tune of Roll out
the Barrel, brother andsister duo, Joan
Shive and Michael Shema, caught the
eye of the judges Thursday at the Gen-
netti Hotel & Conference Center.
There was one couple we felt em-
bodied the feeling of the polka, said
judge Miss Faberge at the 45thannual
Senior Dinner Dance as she handedtwo
mirrored ball trophies and gift cards to
Shive, 71, of Tresco, and Shema, 74, of
Hazleton.
The event, sponsored by the Area
Agency on Aging for Luzerne and
Wyoming Counties, drew 450 seniors
from across the region.
It feels wonderful, said Shive as she
caught her breath back at her table.
Our parents were dancers, so it just
came natural, added Shema.
More than 50 seniors took part in the
annual dinners first-ever dance compe-
tition with trophies and gift cards going
to the winners of the Polka, Jitterbug
and Waltz categories.
Proving the Jitterbug is not just a cell-
phone for seniors, TomGay, 77, and his
wife, Sandy, 65, of Gouldsboro, wowed
judges and the audience with their
high-energy routine. Flinging Sandy
over his head and through his legs, Tom
then spun her around like a top.
AlthoughtheGays impressedonlook-
ers with their youthful moves, it was
MarleneDickandJoeKull whosnagged
the mirrored ball.
I couldnt believe it, saidDick, 71, of
West Wyoming. We did the old-fash-
ioned Jitterbug, she said, adding that
she and Kull, 75, of Kingston, get to-
gether about everysixmonths todance.
Brenda Lispi, director of center ser-
vices with the Area Agency on Aging,
said staying active and socializing are
the keys to living a long, healthy life.
We think people that stay active, stay
out of nursing homes.
Living up to this years Older Amer-
icans Month theme Never Too Old to
Play, 93-year-old Viola Michels of Falls
joined the other dancers on the floor.
Shes my Polka partner, said Tom
Kokinda, 89, of Avoca. Shes still got
the beat.
Irene Gimbel and Michael Shema of the Hazleton Senior Center do the Jitterbug on Thursday during The 45th Annual
Senior Dinner Dance at Genettis sponsored by the Area Agency on Aging.

NANTICOKE Police stop-
ped an erratic driver on the cam-
pus of Luzerne County Commu-
nity College on Wednesday.
The driver displayed signs of
intoxication, with an odor of al-
cohol, glassy eyes, slurred
speech and an unsteady bal-
ance.
Field sobriety tests showed
the man was incapable of safe
driving and he was arrested.
Its a scenario that occurs fre-
quently, day and night, but that
doesnt mean police take deal-
ing with impaired drivers for
granted.
Police officers young and old
are receiving training this week
on up-to-date standards of de-
tecting impaired drivers and
conducting sobriety check-
points and roving patrols.
The Luzerne County Alcohol
Highway Safety Program is con-
ducting the training at the col-
leges Public Safety Training Fa-
cility.
About 100 officers from Har-
veys Lake, Kingston Township,
Newport Township, Pittston,
Plains Township, West Pittston
and Wilkes-Barre, as well as Po-
cono Mountain Regional Police
in Monroe County, will take part
in the weeklong training.
It gives officers from the dif-
ferent police departments a net-
work and compares information
on what they are dealing with in
their home areas, said Joe
Swortz, DUI coordinator for Lu-
zerne County. Were giving the
same training and message out
to many different police depart-
ments all at once.
Mondays agenda dealt with
DUI laws, scheduling and plan-
ning sobriety checkpoints and
roving patrols, while officers on
Tuesday were instructed on the
science of impairment. For in-
stance, a man will become intox-
icated faster if he has not eaten.
Officers put their training to
the test Wednesday in a mock
traffic stop involving a legally in-
toxicated driver.
Swortz said many variables
must be considered when an of-
ficer detects impairment by a
driver, whether by alcohol or a
controlled substance.
Were seeing different trends
not only with alcohol but with
the synthetic substances and
prescription medications,
Swortz said. Part of the train-
ing is detection, making sure
the officer is able to detect what
caused the driver to be im-
paired.
There were 1,083 drunken
driving arrests in Luzerne
County in 2011, a slight decline
from 1,112 arrests in 2010, ac-
cording to the state police Uni-
form Crime Report.
DUI more than just guesswork
Regional police gather to
learn the latest techniques to
make the roads safer.

Police officer Josh Dombrosky performs a DUI field sobriety test on volunteer Matt Maciejczak at
the LCCC Public Safety Facility. The training is so police perform identical field sobriety tests.
Two years after Emil Pozza
was convicted of forging the sig-
nature of two state troopers and
stealing $26,000 from a man af-
ter failing to give him an ambu-
lance the man paid for on eBay,
the state has ordered the Hazle-
ton car salesman to surrender
his license.
Pozza was one of four Lu-
zerne County residents includ-
ed in more than 125 actions an-
nounced Thursday regarding
professional licenses.
In addition to the Board of Ve-
hicle Manufacturers, Dealers
and Salespersons action taken
against Pozza, other state
boards also took action against
local residents.
The State Board of Nursing
suspended the license of Mi-
chael Holmstrom, of Forty Fort,
for no less than one year based
on findings that he is unable to
practice professional nursing
with reasonable skill and safety
to patients by reason of mental
or physical illness or condition
or physiological or psycholog-
ical dependence upon alcohol,
hallucinogenic or narcotic
drugs or other drugs whichtend
to impair judgment or coordina-
tion.
That same board indefinitely
suspended the license of Sherry
Kling Hillard, of Kingston,
based upon her criminal convic-
tion.
Hillards legal problems start-
ed in 2009 when she was placed
on probation for possession of a
controlled substance that she
admitted to taking from her
place of employment, The
Meadows Nursing Center in
Dallas Township.
She has since had her proba-
tion fromthat crime revoked be-
cause she was arrested and
pleaded guilty to eight counts of
acquisition of a controlled sub-
stance, namely Vicodin, in May
2011. Then this year, she had
that latest probationrevokedbe-
cause she pleaded guilty to one
count of false swearing on Feb.
12 after being arrested Feb. 3.
ThestateBoardof Optometry
indefinitely suspended the li-
cense of David Lloyd Naugle, of
Hazleton, effective Jan. 20.
The suspension was to be ac-
tively served for no less than
two months with the remainder
of such suspension immediately
stayed in favor of at least three
years of probation. The board
took action because Naugle
used deceit in the practice of
optometry andis unable to prac-
tice the profession with reason-
able skill and safety to patients
by reasonof addictiontodrugs.

that does not have a building on
it. He suggested the program
include something for nonusa-
ble properties or for vacant prop-
erties.
Jeff Pyros, general manager of
the Luzerne Bank building on
Public Square, said he first
viewed the BID as another tax
on an already highly taxed area.
I have to admit that things have
changed for the better with the
BID, he said. He asked for a list
of what services the program
provides.
Three of the five council mem-
bers attended the public hear-
ing: George Brown, Mike Mer-
ritt and Tony George. Absent
were Bill Barrett and Maureen
Lavelle.
The comments provided at
the hearing will be combined
with those of ratepayers from
other hearings last month and
the preliminary plan will be re-
vised. The revised plan will then
be mailed out to ratepayers and
council will commence a 45-day
public comment period for them
torespond. If approvedbymajor-
ity of the ratepayers, the plan
will go into effect on Aug. 1.

Authorities sue sheriff
F
ederal authorities have sued Amer-
icas self-proclaimed toughest sher-
iff over allegations that his office racial-
ly profiled Latinos in his trademark
immigration patrols.
The U.S. Justice Department lawsuit
filed Thursday alleges that a culture of
disregard for basic constitutional rights
prevailed at Joe Arpaios department in
the states most populous county.
The lawsuit puts the dispute on track
to be decided by a judge.
The DOJ first leveled the allegations
in December, but held off on filing a
lawsuit as it tried unsuccessfully to
reach a settlement with Arpaio.
His office is accused of basing some
of his immigration patrols on racially
charged citizen complaints that report-
ed no actual crimes.
The sheriff has denied the allega-
tions.
WASHINGTON, D.C.
Bishops query Girl Scouts
The Girl Scouts of the USA have
long been a lightning rod for conserva-
tive criticism. Now theyre facing their
highest-level challenge: An official
inquiry by the U.S. Conference of Ca-
tholic Bishops.
At issue are concerns about program
materials that some Catholics find
offensive, as well as assertions that the
Scouts associate with groups whose
stances conflict with church teaching.
The Scouts, who have numerous par-
ish-sponsored troops, deny many of the
claims and defend their alliances.
The inquiry coincides with the
Scouts 100th anniversary celebrations
and follows other controversies.
Earlier this year, legislators in Indi-
ana and Alaska called the Scouts into
question.

Nun testifies on abuse
A Roman Catholic nun testified
Thursday that she and two relatives
were sexually abused by a priest de-
scribed by a church leader as one of
the sickest people I ever knew.
The nun testified in the clergy-abuse
trial of Monsignor William Lynn, the
first U.S. church official charged with
felony child endangerment for alleged-
ly leaving predator-priests in ministry.
The nun said she, her sister and
cousin went to the archdiocese in 1991
to report 1970s-era abuse by the Rev.
Nicholas Cudemo, and ask that he be
removed as a parish pastor. They met
with Monsignors James Molloy and
Lynn, who worked in the Office for
Clergy.
The sisters had been molested as
girls and the cousin repeatedly raped,
they reported.

Russians foil attacks
Russias secret service said Thursday
it had foiled terror attack plans in the
Black Sea resort of Sochi ahead of the
2014 Winter Games.
Russias National Anti-Terrorist Com-
mittee said the secret service agency
FSB discovered ten caches of ammuni-
tion that included portable surface-to-
air missiles, grenade launchers, flame
throwers, grenades, rifles and explo-
sives.
The ammunition was found on May
4 and May 5 in Georgias breakaway
republic of Abkhazia, a region that has
declared independence and has strong
links with Russia.

HARRISBURG A judge on Thurs-
day gave Jerry Sanduskys lawyers some
of the information they sought through
subpoenas, but he didnot enforce broad
requests for all information related to
accusers in the child sex-abuse case.
Judge John Cleland said the defense
team will get access to documents re-
garding the former Penn State assistant
football coachs conduct from The Sec-
ond Mile, a charity he founded for at-
risk youths. The Second Mile also was
directed to give Sandusky complaints
about his misconduct or inappropriate
actions.
The Second Mile al-
so must provide Sand-
usky with a list of the
people he was allowed
to invite to his retire-
ment party, but not
their addresses or fi-
nancial information.
ClelandsaidJuniata
College must turnover a backgroundin-
vestigation conducted when Sandusky
applied for an assistant football coach-
ing position that he didnt get. The col-
lege can black out references to the
names of those who were interviewed.
Cleland did not rule on a defense re-
quest todelaythe start of trial, currently
scheduled to begin with jury selection
on June 5.
Sandusky, 68, faces 52 criminal
counts for alleged sexual abuse of 10
boys over 15 years, charges he has con-
sistently denied.
Cleland presided over a hearing
about the subpoenas on Wednesday at
the Centre County Courthouse in Belle-
fonte.
Three central Pennsylvania school
districts Mifflin County, Keystone
Central and Bald Eagle were ordered
to give Sanduskys lawyers several cate-
gories of records that pertain to boys
who are alleged victims in the case.
They included records that address
their behavioral health or school adjust-
ment, those regarding psychological or
psychiatric treatment, and investiga-
tive reports prepared regarding a com-
plaint of harassment/stalking regard-
ing one of the accusers, the judge said.
Sanduskys lawyer Joe Amendola
wrote ina court filinga weekagothat an
accuser known as Victim 1 made a
claim, which the school deemed un-
founded, that an unknown male relat-
ed to The Second Mile had approached
him in a bathroom at his high school.
Cleland granted the defense limited
access to records of Michael Gillum, a
psychologist with Clinton County Chil-
dren and Youth Services.

WASHINGTON Turning
their budget knife to domestic
programs to protect the Penta-
gon, House Republicans on
Thursday approved legislation
cutting food stamps, benefits for
federal workers and social servic-
es programs like day care for chil-
drenandMeals onWheels for the
elderly.
President Barack Obamas
Wall St. reform law would be re-
written under the legislation,
passed on a 218-199 vote, while
his controversial overhaul of the
U.S. health care systemwould al-
so be cut. The legislation would
deny illegal immigrants child tax
credits they can currently claim,
while new curbs on medical mal-
practice lawsuits are credited
with driving down Medicare and
Medicaid costs.
The bill, passedafter a passion-
ate, sometimes hyperbolic de-
bate, would spare the military
from a $55 billion, 10 percent au-
tomatic budget cut next year
thats punishment for the failure
of last years deficit-reduction
supercommittee to strike a
deal. It also would protect do-
mestic agencies from an 8 per-
cent cut to their day-to-day oper-
ating budgets next year, but
would leave in place a 2 percent
cut to Medicare providers.
The legislation is a dead letter
in the Senate, however, where
Democratic leaders insist on
keeping the automatic cuts in
place as leverage to try to force
Republicans toagreetoa mixture
of tax increases and spending
cuts to address the nations defi-
cit woes.
Defense hawks warn the auto-
matic cuts would mean a 200,000
troop cut, military base closings
and a significantly smaller Navy
and Air Force. The Pentagon
brass has warned repeatedly the
automatic cuts would have a de-
bilitating effect on readiness.
Its not shooting ourselves in
our foot, Armed Services Com-
mittee Chairman Howard Buck
McKeon, R-Calif., said. Its
shooting ourselves in the head.
Theres common agreement
that the automatic cuts need to
be reversed, but Democrats and
Republicans remain at war over
the best way to do that.
Democrats are making it plain
they expect any effort to turn off
automatic spending cuts to in-
clude additional taxes.

The House plan faces a likely
rejection in the Senate, which

lane highway during the morning rush
hour, knocking down a security wall out-
side the government building and draw-
ing people to the scene, witnesses said. A
much larger blast soon followed, shaking
the neighborhood, setting dozens of cars
ablaze and sending up a gray mushroom
cloud visible around the capital.
Syrian state TV video showed dozens
of bodies, somecharredor dismembered,
strewn in the rubble or still inside dam-
aged cars. An Associated Press reporter
at the scene sawmedics in rubber gloves
picking through the site for human re-
mains amid the two craters that were
blasted into the asphalt.
The Interior Ministry, which oversees
the police and security services, said 55
people were killed and more than 370
were wounded. Officials said suicide
bombers detonated explosives weighing
more than 2,200 pounds.
The house shook like it was an earth-
quake, Maha Hijazi said, standing out-
side her home nearby.
World powers seeking to halt Syrias
unrest condemned the attack and urged
all sides toadhere toa cease-fire brokered
by U.N. and Arab League envoy Kofi An-
nan.
In order to prevent another escalation
of violence, we continue to call on the
Syrian regime to fully and immediately
implement the Annan plan, State De-
partment spokeswoman Victoria Nuland
said in Washington.
Maj. Gen. Robert Mood, the Norwe-
gian head of a teamof observers oversee-
ingthe cease-fire, touredthe site andsaid
the Syrian people do not deserve this
terrible violence.

ATLANTA Half of U.S.
adults under 30 say they have
had a sunburn at least once in
the past year, a government
survey found a sign young
people arent heeding the
warnings about skin cancer.
The rate of sunburnis about
the same as it was10 years ear-
lier.
I dont know that were
making any headway, said
Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the
American Cancer Societys
deputy chief medical officer.
Experts say that even one
blistering burn can double the
risk of developing melanoma,
an often lethal form of skin
cancer.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention re-
leased the study Thursday,
which was based on a 2010
survey of about 5,000 U.S.
adults ages18to29. The study
showedthat the share of those
who said they had had a sun-
burn in the preceding year
went fromabout 51 percent in
2000 to 45 percent in 2005,
but then went back up to 50
percent in 2010.
Surprisingly, the CDC also
found an increase since 2005
in how many people said they
wear sunscreen or take other
steps to protect their skin. But
only about a third said they
usually wore sunscreen. And
the increasing rate of sun-
burns suggests many are not
using it properly, some ex-
perts said.
The CDCalso released find-
ings from the survey on how
many people use tanning
beds, booths or sun lamps.
About 6 percent of all adults
said they had done indoor tan-
ning in the previous year.
About 32 percent of white
women ages 18 to 21had done
indoor tanning, and nearly as
many white women 22 to 25
did.
A similar survey in 2005
found about 27 percent of
young women said they had
done indoor tanning.

KINGSTON TWP. Charges
of aggravated assault and sim-
ple assault were dismissed
against a former police officer
at a preliminary hearing on
Thursday.
Jackson Township police
charged Barry Stubeda, 49, of
Garbutt Avenue, Dallas Town-
ship, after his wife, Hillary
Stubeda, claimed he tried to
stab her and threatened to kill
her inside his mothers house
on East Meadow Street on April
29.
Hillary Stubeda opted not to
testify against her husband,
resulting in six counts of simple
assault, five counts of aggravat-
ed assault, four counts of ha-
rassment and two counts each
of disorderly conduct and crimi-
nal mischief being dismissed.
Barry Stubeda is scheduled
for a preliminary hearing on
May 18 on a resisting arrest
charge filed by Dallas Township
police.
Barry Stubeda was formally a
police officer in Jackson Town-
ship and West Wyoming.
KINGSTON A man accused
of corrupting a 15-year-old boy
waived his right to a prelimina-
ry hearing Thursday before
District Judge Paul Roberts.
Steven E. Brown, 26, waived
charges of disseminating sexual
material, criminal use of com-
munication facility, corruption
of minors, harassment and
furnishing alcohol to a minor to
Luzerne County Court.
County detectives withdrew
seven counts of possession of
child pornography against
Brown.
He was charged April 20 after
the mother of a 15-year-old boy
said she found an ad on craig-
slist.com that solicited sexual
favors with a teen boy. The
mother said strangers were
knocking on her door looking
for her son.
An investigation allegedly
found that Brown posted the ad
and sent nude photographs of
himself to the boy, according to
the criminal complaint.
WILKES-BARRE A Me-
chanicsburg man convicted of
second-degree murder and
sentenced to two consecutive
life sentences in prison filed
court papers Thursday stating
why he is appealing his case to
the state Superior Court.
Isiah Garrett, 22, filed the
papers through his attorney,
Robert Mozenter, of Philadel-
phia. Garrett and his brother
Izel Garrett, 20, were convicted
by a Luzerne County jury in
December of five counts each in
a robbery that left 30-year-old
Abdul Shabazz dead. Investiga-
tors say the brothers intended
to rob Shabazz of $300 worth of
marijuana in December 2010 in
their fathers West Hazleton
home.
Garrett says he is appealing
because a judge erred by not
granting a request to suppress
evidence and statements Isiah
Garrett made to police and the
verdict was against the weight
of the evidence.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. Ar-
rest records allege Anthony Gu-
tierrez is a patient robber.
In two robberies this week, po-
lice say, Gutierrez, 33, of North
Sherman Street, Wilkes-Barre,
waited until customers left be-
fore he demanded money from
employees.
The latest criminal complaint
filed Thursday against Gutierrez
alleges he robbed the Curry Do-
nuts on Wilkes-Barre Township
Boulevard on May 5.
Township police say Gutierrez
was in the doughnut shop and
told an employee that he was
waiting for his mother. He or-
dered a coffee and a doughnut
and said his mother would pay
for it when she arrived.
When two customers left, Gu-
tierrez ran behind the counter
with his hand under his shirt giv-
ing the impression he had a gun
while demanding money, accord-
ing to the criminal complaint.
He was arraigned in Wilkes-
Barre Central
Court on charg-
es of robbery,
theft, terroris-
tic threats and
harassment.
Gutierrez al-
ready was in
custody after
he was arrested by township po-
lice early Wednesday morning on
a warrant from Wilkes-Barre po-
lice.
City police allege Gutierrez
knocked on the door at the North
End Slovak Club on North Main
Street early Tuesday morning,
asking to wait inside for a club
member. He sat at the bar and
waited for two patrons to leave
when he told the bartender to
give himmoney, according to the
criminal complaint.
Gutierrez was charged by city
police with robbery and theft.
He remains jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Facil-
ity for lack of $100,000 total bail
on the two sets of criminal com-
plaints.

WILKES-BARRE A Dupont
man charged with taking an el-
derlywomans jewelryandpawn-
ing themfor money to support a
heroin addiction was convicted
Thursday of related charges.
A Luzerne County jury found
Patrick John Gardner, 46, of
WyomingAvenue, guilty of crim-
inal conspiracy to commit theft
and receiving stolen property af-
ter deliberating Wednesday and
Thursday.
The trial lasted four days be-
fore county Judge David Lupas.
Lupas said Gardner, who was
represented by attorney Michael
Kostelaba, will be sentenced Ju-
ly 2. Assistant District Attorney
Jill Matthews Lada prosecuted
the case.
The jury found the items
Gardner received exceeded
$2,000.
According to court papers, on
Oct. 5, Elaine German, 88, and
her daughter, MargeryRifkin, re-
portedto police that a number of
items were taken fromGermans
Kingston apartment.
German and Rifkin reported
the items included a $5,818 dia-
mond ring, 15 gold Susan B. An-
thony coins, a custom charm
worth $1,700 and other jewelry
and money.
Police later learned that De-
nise Tranell, 47, was employed
by German to work as a home
health nurse, and that her boy-
friend, Gardner, had cashed in
several pieces of jewelry and
coins in Exeter.
Tranell told police in an inter-
view a few days later that she
took the jewelry and coins while
she was workingfor Germanand
gave them to Gardner, who
cashed them in to support his
heroin habit.
When interviewed by police,
Gardner said Tranell took the
items and he cashed them in to
support their heroin addiction.
Tranell, also of Dupont, was
formally arraigned in county
court on April 20 on charges of
theft by unlawful taking and
criminal conspiracy.
Sheentereda plea of not guilty
and is awaiting trial.

SALEM TWP. The board of
supervisors bypassed a recom-
mendation by Vicki Moyer,
manager/treasurer, and voted
Tuesday night to retain the John
Arndt Insurance Agency of Ber-
wick and MRM for liability and
property insurance coverage.
Moyer proposed the supervi-
sors accept a proposal fromHig-
gins Insurance and PIRMA In-
surance in the sum of $26,696.
Instead, the panel voted in favor
of the $24,697 bid of Arndt and
MRM.
In addition, the board accept-
ed the resignation of two zoning
officials. Andrew Slembarski
and Raymond Ross said their re-
signations as members of the
townships zoning hearing
board are effective immediate-
ly.
There was no other public
comment, except that Josh
Kishbaugh, chairman, said the
posts will be advertised.
In contrast, the board acted to
retain Jack Varaly as assistant
zoning and planning officer and
the panel accepted the Harris
subdivision, which had been re-
viewed and approved by the
planning commission on April
26.
In a resolution that affects the
allocation of tax revenue, a 5
mill increment in taxation that
had been utilized since 1999 for
what was describedas sewer im-
provements will now be allocat-
ed instead for general purposes.

say enough about it.
Pollock said he wished the
Zambitos well, that their health
improves and the restaurant reo-
pens.
U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Ha-
zleton, said the first concern is
for the health of Jimmy and Julie
Zambito.
I wishthemboththebest, and
hopefully Tonys will reopen,
Barletta said. Tonys is a land-
mark and any period of time that
its closed, it will be missed.
Barletta said Tonys has been
the place to go, and he said he
meets people everywhere he
goes who say they have been to
the restaurant andhadanenjoya-
ble experience.
That place could never be
replicated anywhere by anyone,
Barletta said.
Hal Flack, a longtime Republi-
can Party supporter, said he was
deeply saddened to hear about
the health issues of Jimmy and
Julie Zambito.
Tonys is iconic, Flack said.
It is not only a bastionof Repub-
lican politics, it is an important
part of the fabric of our commu-
nity. It is a place where good
friends gather on a regular basis
for fellowship, healthy debate,
colorful commentary and excel-
lent food courtesy of the Zambi-
to family.
Flack said the Zambitos are
some of finest, kindest, and
most hard-working people I
know.

NEW YORK Horst Faas, a
prize-winning combat photogra-
pher who carved out new stan-
dards for covering war with a
camera and became one of the
worlds legendary photojournal-
ists in nearly half a century with
The Associated Press, died
Thursday. He was 79.
His daughter, Clare Faas, con-
firmed his death.
A native of Germany who
joined the U.S.-based news coop-
erative there in1956, Faas photo-
graphed wars, revolutions, the
Olympic Games and events in be-
tween. But he
was best known
for covering
Vietnam, where
he was severely
wounded in
1967 and won
four major pho-
to awards in-
cluding the first
of his two Pulitzer Prizes.
As chief of APs photo oper-
ations in Saigon for a decade be-
ginning in1962, Faas covered the
fighting while recruiting and
training new talent from among
foreign and Vietnamese freelan-
cers. The result was Horsts ar-
my of young photographers,
who fanned out with Faas-sup-
plied cameras and film and stern
orders to come back with good
pictures.
Faas and his editors chose the
best and put together a steady
flow of telling photos South
Vietnams soldiers fighting and
its civilians struggling to survive
amid the maelstrom.
Among his top proteges was
Huynh Thanh My, an actor turn-
ed photographer who in 1965 be-
came one of four AP staffers and
one of two South Vietnamese
among more than 70 journalists
killed in the 15-year war.
Mys younger brother, Huynh
Cong Nick Ut, followed his
brother at APandunder Faass tu-
telage won one of the news agen-
cys six Vietnam War Pulitzer
Prizes, for his iconic 1972 picture
of a badly burnedVietnamese girl
fleeing an aerial napalm attack.
Faas Vietnamcoverage earned
him the Overseas Press Clubs
Robert Capa Award and his first
Pulitzer in 1965. Receiving the
honors in New York, he said his
mission was to record the suffer-
ing, the emotions and the sacri-
fices of both Americans and Viet-
namese in ... this little blood-
stained country so far away.
Born in Berlin on April 28,
1933, Faas grew up during World
War II and like all young German
males was required to join the
Hitler Youth organization. Years
later, he wrote that Allied air
raids and the fascinating specta-
cle of anti-aircraft action in the
sky were part of daily life, as was
being required to stand at atten-
tion in school and listen to an an-
nouncement that the father or ol-
der brother of a classmate had
died for fuehrer and Fatherland.
As the war ended in 1945, the
family fled north to avoid the
Russian advance on Berlin and
two years later escaped to Mun-
ich in West Germany.

SKI RESORT IN
TANNERSVILLE
Flora has done enough to re-
solve issues without seeking ad-
ditional manpower or funding.
Questioned by ACLU attor-
ney Mary Catherine Roper, Flo-
ra became emotional as he told
of how he made repeated pleas
for additional attorneys, but
was continually denied. He first
considered refusing cases in
June 2010, but held off because
he believed the county would
eventually fill the positions.
His voice cracking, Flora said
he finally reached his breaking
point in December.
I knewI couldnt provide the
level of service these poor peo-
ple were entitled to, he said,
pausing as he fought to main-
tain his composure. The only
protection I could afford them
was to decline representation.
I didnt know what else to
do.
The countys attorney, John
Dean, argued there was plenty
Flora could have done, includ-
ing taking on cases himself and
seeking out private attorneys
who might volunteer to take
cases at no charge, known as
pro-bono work.
Flora said he did attempt to
seek out volunteer attorneys,
but had to abandon the idea af-
ter the union that represents
public defenders objected.
Dean questioned if Flora had
done enough to press that issue.
In order to avoid a grievance
you did not seek out pro-bono
attorneys, instead you com-
menced this lawsuit against the
taxpayers of Luzerne County,
Dean said.
Dean also hammered Flora
for limiting the cases his assist-
ant, Demetrius Fannick, and an-
other attorney who handles
capital murder cases, are as-
signed.
Flora said he cannot take
cases because he is too involved
in the administrative duties of
the office. Those included over-
seeing the creation of the juve-
nile unit, as well as daily inter-
actions with attorneys and oth-
er matters. The homicide attor-
neys need to focus on those
cases because of the complexity
involved, he said.
Thursdays hearing ad-
dressed only Floras request for
an injunction, which would pro-
vide him immediate relief he is
seeking in parts of the suit. Au-
gellos ruling on the injunction
will not end the case as other
aspects of the complaint, in-
cluding Floras request for ad-
ditional funding, will contin-
ue.
In order to prevail in the
getting an injunction, Flora
must prove, among other
things, that there is an immi-
nent threat of harm to indi-
gent defendants.
Testifying as an expert wit-
ness on behalf of Flora, attor-
ney Norman Lefstein, a pro-
fessor at the Indiana School
of Law, said he believes there
is a clear threat.
Lefstein reviewed caseload
statistics fromDecember that
showed most of the attorneys
in the office were handling
more than 100 open cases at
that time. Based on that, Lef-
stein said the office cannot
possibly be providing ade-
quate representation to all its
clients.
When you have over 100
clients you cannot effectively
and completely represent
them all, he said. What oc-
curs is a form of triage repre-
sentation. You deal with the
most immediate problem of
the day because thats all you
can do.
DEFENDER
LOSANGELESNASAs first
hard look at the protoplanet Ves-
ta has given scientists an unprec-
edented view of its makeup, ter-
rain and history and revealed
that major activity on this an-
cient rock occurred far more re-
cently than researchers had ex-
pected.
Images sent back from NASAs
trailblazing Dawn spacecraft re-
veal the full size of a massive cra-
ter in the southern hemisphere
and indicate that it may have
been made just 1 billion years
ago, well after Vesta formedmore
than 4.5 billion years ago, accord-
ing to one of half a dozen studies
published in todays edition of
the journal Science.
We have been able to use a
time machine and take our
thoughts and understandings
right back to the beginning, said
University of California, Los An-
geles geophysicist Christopher
Russell, the Dawn missions prin-
cipal investigator.
Dawnwas launchedinSeptem-
ber 2007 to investigate Vestas
properties, including its mineral
composition, topography and
mass.
It is equipped with cameras,
spectrometers and neutron and
gamma-ray detectors, which
have been taking measurements
since entering the asteroids orbit
in July.
Vesta sits in the middle of the
asteroid belt that lies between
the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
That ring of rocky debris is
thought to be the remnants of a
would-be planet that never
formed because of the disruptive
pull of Jupiters gravity.
The asteroid is the second
largest in the belt and one of only
three protoplanets in the solar
system, a seed around which a
full planet could have grown.
Scientists believe that study-
ing the asteroid will give them a
sense of what the early Earth and
moon might have looked like.
The rocks of Vesta are far older
than ours, since they havent
been altered by factors such as
volcanic activity or the presence
of living things.
NASA puts focus on protoplanet Vesta
Spacecraft studies body that
formed more than 4.5 billion
years ago in asteroid belt.

The postmaster general on Wednesday explained a
money-saving strategy that calls for the U.S. Postal
Service to keep its rural offices open but to significantly cut their hours
of operation. Certain employees will lose their benefits, allowing the
Postal Service to save an estimated $500 million a year by 2014.
Liquor stores profitable,
so why change system?
I
am writing to ask you to consider very
carefully any decision regarding the
states liquor stores.
I am concerned about losing the steady
stream of income that these stores provide
to the states budget. It seems to me that
many people are blind to this asset we
have in Pennsylvania. They contend that
state income from the liquor sales will
continue in the form of license fees and
taxes on the private sales.
The estimate of a $2 billion windfall to
the state is very short-sighted. Just be-
cause everyone else is doing it, (that is,
private liquor sales in other states), does
not make it right for Pennsylvania.
To those people with the view that gov-
ernment should not be in the liquor busi-
ness, I say, Why not? Why shouldnt the
citizens of Pennsylvania own and benefit
from this enterprise?
The issue of job loss is also a serious
consideration. State liquor store employ-
ees make a living wage. They provide for
their families and contribute to the state
and local economies. Do we really want to
put people out of a job just because of
principle?
I ask, what else does Pennsylvanias state
government do that actually makes a profit
for its citizens?

SEND US YOUR OPINION
K
IT WAS like the old horror
movie when a black blob
descended from the sky
causing people to flee in
the city streets. There are
at least two things in com-
mon between the movie of
the 1950s and the recent national episode
about a food product now known as pink
slime. Neither is based on truth and both
caused pointless panic.
The tale about this misunderstood meat
product began in late March when ABC
News broadcast a report about the use of
lean finely textured beef (LFTB) in retail
beef products. The report referred to LFTB
as pink slime, a description coined by a
U.S. Department of Agriculture employee
and mentioned by the New York Times.
The Internet universe exploded with
chatter about a product that was suddenly
viewed as unappetizing, unhealthy and
unsafe. When it was noted that our nations
school lunch program permits schools to
use ground beef that includes LFTB, some
moms and dads freaked out. More alarm
was raised when it became known that
ammonium hydroxide is often used as part
of the meat preparation process.
Many supermarket chains rushed for-
ward to exclaim that they will never again
sell any ground beef product that includes
LFTB. Restaurants and fast-food places
quickly joined the choir. On and on the
hysteria grew, and its still reverberating
today.
So now, lets stop, catch our breath and
reflect upon some facts and realities.
Lets first be clear about LFTB. Lean
finely textured beef was developed to pro-
vide more domestic lean beef. The proc-
essor purchases beef trimmings (mostly 50
percent lean or less, from USDA-inspected
food processing plants), heats the trim-
mings and sends them through a centrifuge
process that separates the fat and the meat.
The resulting product is 94 percent to 97
percent lean beef. Ground beef containing
LFTB has nearly identical nutritional value
compared to other ground beef.
The meat is exposed to one puff of am-
monium hydroxide (which is already nat-
urally present in beef) to provide extra
protection for food safety. The treatment is
an antimicrobial intervention directed
primarily at E. coli but also is effective on
salmonella. The process has been thor-
oughly reviewed by scientists and has long
been approved by the federal Food and
Drug Administration.
Now lets look at the costs and conse-
quences of the rush to hysteria.
Even before the LFTB controversy began,
U.S. beef prices were heading higher be-
cause of a short supply caused by factors
such as the disastrous drought last year in
Texas. It has been estimated that it would
take an additional 1.5 million head of cattle
to produce the beef necessary to replace
the use of LFTB. That could be welcome
news for the nations farmers and ranchers,
but certainly not for the many families who
struggle to put food on the table. Moreover,
if school districts ultimately decide not to
purchase ground beef with LFTB, it will
likely raise their costs at a time when many
already have trouble providing adequate
school lunch programs, despite federal
assistance.
Then there are the jobs. Hundreds al-
ready have lost their employment after
processing plants were forced to close be-
cause of the LFTB frenzy. Another 650 will
be out of work when the nations largest
LFTB producer permanently closes three
plants on May 25. Unfortunately, more
paychecks will disappear; one processing
company based in Pennsylvania and oper-
ating in five states with 850 employees has
filed for bankruptcy.
There are lessons to be learned from this
incident. The food industry needs to be
proactive with efforts to accurately inform
the public about food production and not
back away when topics such as pink slime
surface. Meanwhile, consumers are encour-
aged to ask questions and critically eval-
uate what they hear and read.
Farmers are naturally concerned that
consumers have trust and confidence that
the food we produce is healthy and safe. It
might make sense that regulations should
enable processors to note on package labels
if the ground beef has been processed with
LFTB. But, it doesnt make sense for a
healthy, safe and affordable food product to
be banished from production because of
rampant misinformation and inaccurate
perceptions.

A
SK ALMOST ANY or-
ganization that relies
onvolunteers, andyou
are likely to get the
same response: The number of
people who donate their time
has dwindled, andinsome cases
that has threatened the groups
very existence.
Wehavelongdocumentedthe
decline in volunteer firefighters
and ambulance personnel, part-
lyaresult of thehours of training
that are required to do the job
properly and partly because of
other factors.
As a result, the state Legisla-
ture a few years ago opted to al-
lowvolunteers to apply for a tax
credit of up to $100. Thats not a
fortune, but it demonstrates that
the work these people are doing
is appreciated.
It is time to consider extend-
ing that stipend to those who
volunteer for community watch
groups.
Police say neighborhood
watch patrols can prevent of-
fenses such as burglaries, car
break-ins and vandalism, crimes
typically committed at night in
areas wherethereis littlevehicle
or pedestrian traffic. Its abso-
lutely a deterrent, Berks Dis-
trict Attorney John T. Adams
said.
Yet watchpatrols, too, arehav-
ing trouble attracting people.
Reading Crime Watch had1,200
members as littleas twodecades
ago. Now it has fewer than 200.
Give those volunteers a little
something to let them know
their work is appreciated and to
helpthemrecruit newmembers.

N
EWS THAT Wilkes-
Barre Area School
District Superintend-
ent Jeff Namey in-
tends to retire as of Aug. 31
after 16 years in the districts
top job merits the mixed feel-
ings of people such as board
President Maryanne Toole.
Yes, the district will lose an
individual with outstanding in-
stitutional knowl-
edge, educational ex-
perience and indus-
try contacts; but yes,
the district needs a
serious break from a
taintedpast, andthat
requires a fresh face
at the top.
The districts long-
standing but fuzzy image as
family job factory and personal
pocket liner for board mem-
bers became all tooclear begin-
ning in 2009 when three board
members pleadedguiltytosep-
arate bribery-related federal
charges. Want a jobor a district
contract at WBA? Grease the
right palm and voila!
The stain grew dark and
wide as the public learned the
district had no written teacher
hiringpolicy, operatinginstead
on a pick system in which
board members took turns
choosing who got interviewed
for openings in the classroom.
And reinforcing the desper-
ate need for real change, con-
sider this: The board promised
a new, written policy more
thantwoyears ago. It has yet to
be delivered.
More recently, the public
learned that this districts legal
bills hadskyrocketedinthelast
three years while the boardand
administration seemed to
slouch toward reform. It took a
report bythis newspaper show-
ing the stark numbers a six-
foldincrease inpayments toso-
licitor Anthony Lupas to
prompt an audit of those bills.
It doesnt help that a recent
federal indictment and sepa-
rate civil suits ac-
cuse Lupas of bilk-
ing people
through a bogus
investment
scheme. Those
charges arent re-
lated to the attor-
neys work for the
district, but feder-
al agents also are looking into
his bills as solicitor.
Namey has managed to stay
above the ever-growing cess-
pool, but keeping clean while
the sewage spills all around
you isnt the same as cleaning
up the mess and fixing the un-
derlying problems. Even if he
doesnt share blame for the fail-
ures of others, he shares fault
for the failure to truly reform.
Its high time that Namey
bow out and open the door for
fresh air and fresh minds.
Andthe school boards mem-
bers should do exactly what
Toole suggested: Name an in-
terimsuperintendent, launcha
wide search for a replacement
and hire someone who can
make a clean break from the
dark past.
This troubled district ur-
gently needs a leader who can
guide it into the light.
OUR OPINION: W-B AREA SCHOOLS
Namey departure
can bring new day
The district needs
a serious break
from a tainted
past, and that
requires a fresh
face at the top.

makes you feel uncomfortable,
especially when friends say
things like that, Simpson re-
called.
I didnt come out till I got to
college, he said.
Thats why Simpson joined
about 70 others in Northeastern
Pennsylvania and tens of thou-
sands nationwide who have ap-
peared in videos letting teenag-
ers who are LGBTQ -- lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender or
questioningtheir sexuality-- that
It Gets Better.
The NEPA Rainbow Alliance
recently sponsoredthe filmingof
more than 40 It Gets Better
videos to correspond with the
launch of its NEPA Safe Zone
program a support and re-
source group for LGBTQteenag-
ers.
The It Gets Better Project is
an online video campaign creat-
ed to showyoung LGBTQyouth
the levels of happiness and op-
portunity their lives will have if
they can just get through their
teen years, according to the web-
site ItGetsBetter.org.
The videos can be found at
www.nepasafezone.org.
Were showing teenagers in
the greater Northeastern PA re-
gion that not only does it get bet-
ter, but there are people right
here in their hometown ready to
help, said Rainbow Alliance
board Chairwoman Beth Hart-
man of Mountain Top.
John Dawe, NEPA Rainbow
Alliance executive director, said,
To our knowledge, this is the
first community of our type to
submit an official It Gets Better
video featuring LGBTQcommu-
nity members who volunteered
to share their life experiences re-
garding coming out and living
openly as a member of the com-
munity as well as straight allies
who were compelled to show
support.
Dawe saidintolerance andbul-
lying of members of the LGBT
community occur locally as well
as nationally, and the issue was
brought to the forefront a few
years ago with a rash of gay teen
suicides.
If we had some of this stuff a
few years ago, we might have
been able to save some lives,
Dawe said.
Dawe noted the problem has
developed to the point that even
teachers are bullying LGBT
teens, pointing to an incident at
Hanover Area Junior-Senior
High School in which a teacher
allegedly showed a video of a gay
teen dancing at the prom with
his transgender date to students
in her classroom, eliciting fur-
ther bullying of the student by
others.
The Rainbow Alliance part-
nered with film production com-
pany JVW Inc. to film individual
and group videos and received
grant support fromthe Diversity
Partnership Fund of The Lu-
zerne Foundation.
We really felt this was a bene-
fit to the area, and we wanted to
be involved, said JVW Presi-
dent Joe Van Wie of Scranton.
Who wouldnt want to be in-
volved in a project that aims to
stop hate and bullying?
Dawe said about half the peo-
ple in the videos are members of
the LGBT community and the
other half are straight allies who
want to show their support.
The videos were filmed and
edited by Mountain Top native
Matt Morgis, a freshman at Tem-
ple University.

WASHINGTON Mitt Rom-
ney apologized Thursday for
stupid high school pranks that
may have gone too far andmoved
quickly to stamp out any notion
that he bullied schoolmates be-
cause they were gay. His swift re-
sponse reflected the Republican
presidential candidates recogni-
tion that his record on gay rights
is under heightened scrutiny af-
ter President Barack Obamas
embrace of gay marriage.
One day after gay rights moved
to the center of the presidential
race with Obamas announce-
ment on same-sex marriage, a
Washington Post report about
Romneys high school escapades
nearly 50 years ago added a per-
sonal dimension to Democrats
claim that hes out of step on the
sensitive topic.
The newspaper reported that
in one case, Romney and several
schoolmates held down class-
mate John Lauber and cut off his
bleached blond hair after seeking
himout in his dormroomat their
boarding school in the wealthy
Detroit suburb of Bloomfield
Hills, Mich. The Post saidLauber
was perpetually teased for his
nonconformityandpresumedho-
mosexuality and that he
screamed for help as Romney
held him down. The paper re-
counted another incident in
which Romney shouted atta
girl to a different student at the
all-boys school who, years later,
came out as gay.
I participatedina lot of hijinks
and pranks during high school
and some may have gone too far.
And for that I apologize, Rom-
ney told Fox News Brian Kil-
meade during a hastily arranged
radio interview. Romney said he
didnt remember the Lauber inci-
dent fromlongago, but didnt dis-
pute that it happened. He
stressed that he didnt know ei-
ther student was gay.
The Republican presidential
candidate had begun the day by
treading softly on Obamas his-
toric embrace of same-sex mar-
riage, which seems likely to fire
up liberal and conservative activ-
ists alike. He quietly restated his
opposition to legalizing such
marriages, but his campaign
turnedits full attentiontoenergy,
the economy and other issues.
Then the boarding school sto-
rywas postedonlineandRomney
moved quickly to counter any
suggestion he had targeted stu-
dents because they were gay.
That was the furthest thing
fromour minds backinthe1960s,
so that was not the case, he said,
addingthat thestudents involved
didnt come out of the closet un-
til years later.
According to the Post account,
Romney was upset about how
Lauber wore his bleach-blond
hair hanging into his eyes.
He cant look like that. Thats
wrong. Just look at him! Rom-
ney told Matthew Friedemann, a
close Romney friend and one of
five classmates who recalled the
incident for The Post. Afewdays
later, Romney led a group of boys
out of his dorm room at Cran-
brook School and into Laubers,
where the group tackled himand
held him down. Romney cut his
hair with scissors as a teary-eyed
Lauber screamed for help.
If there was anything I said
that was offensive to someone, I
certainlyamsorryabout that, he
said, adding that there was no
harm intended. Romneys cam-
paign has previously highlighted
the candidates reputation as a
high school prankster in an at-
tempt to humanize him.
In a second interview Thurs-
day, Romney said that while op-

IOWACITY, Iowa Kate Var-
num was at her Iowa home
watching her newly adopted in-
fant son when news flashed that
Barack Obama had become the
first sitting U.S. president to en-
dorse equal marriage rights for
same-sex couples.
I said, Oh my gosh, I cant be-
lieve this is happening, said
Varnum, 38, a plaintiff in a law-
suit that prompted the Iowa Su-
preme Court to make the state
the first in the Midwest to legal-
ize gay marriage in 2009. We
are absolutely thrilled. We still
have a long way to go, but this is
a huge step for Obama to take.
Americans reacted with joy,
scorn and indifference to Oba-
mas words in a television inter-
viewonWednesday: It is impor-
tant for me personally to go
ahead and affirm that same-sex
couples should be able to get
married.
An African-American bishop
in Philadelphia said Obamas po-
sition will make him think twice
about supporting the presidents
re-election. A bed-and-breakfast
owner marveled at what he de-
scribed as the countrys progress
on gay rights in the past gener-
ation. A Florida business owner
in a same-sex relationship wor-
ried more about the economy
and wondered whether Obamas
stance was a gimmick. A Ken-
tuckybusinessmansaidthe pres-
ident was injecting himself into
an issue that should be left to
churches.
All the while, Americans, who
polls showare evenly split onthe
issue, debated the human and
societal implications of the
statement and the political
fallout for Obama this election
year.
In Cedar Rapids, Varnum said
the presidents words were so
important because she and her
spouse know what being mar-
ried means for same-sex cou-
ples. They were recently able to
adopt their son without the time
and cost of having separate
adoption hearings, and after Var-
num lost her job last year, she
and their son received health in-
surance coverage through her
spouses Iowa-based employer.
Varnum, an Obama supporter,
had believed that he would even-
tually endorse gay marriage but
not before the November elec-
tion. She said the Iowa ruling
that bears her familys name
helped pave the way for greater
acceptance of gay marriage and
set the stage for Obamas change
of heart.
After Iowa was decided, a lot
of people realized its not just a
coastal issue, its not just a Cali-
fornia or New Jersey issue, she
said. Families should be valued
no matter where they live. The
tide has turned.
But ina reminder of the issues
political divisiveness, three Iowa
Supreme Court justices were
ousted by voters after endorsing
the courts unanimous ruling.
The Iowa conservative activist
who led the push for their re-
moval, Bob Vander Plaats, said
Wednesday that like them, Oba-
mas decision would lead to him
being rejected by voters who
view marriage as between one
man and one woman.
BishopLeonardC. Goins, who
presides over Chestnut Hill
Church, a Pentecostal congrega-
tion in Philadelphia, flatly dis-
agreed with Obamas gay mar-
riage endorsement.
Hes wrong, hes in error, its a
mistake and it will hurt him,
Goins said, adding that hes now
in a quandary over whether hell
continue to support the presi-
dent.
In Lexington, Ky., executive
recruiter Joe Alexander said the
federal government shouldleave
the definition of marriage to
churches. A Mormon who de-
scribes himself as a constitution-
al conservative says he believes
marriage is ordainedby Godbe-
tween a man and a woman.
Obamas proclamation, to
me, just gives insight into his
moral fiber. Its inappropriate for
him to be speaking about it as
president, Alexander said. Its
morally repugnant that the
thought is expressedby the pres-
ident, who should be a moral
person. Its embarrassing.
Obamas words fired up oth-
ers. Sitting at an outdoor cafe,
26-year-old West Hollywood res-
ident Artie Calhoun said hes
pleased Obama was bridging a
generational gap for gay rights.
While many young people seem
comfortable with gay marriage,
Calhoun says, people in older
generations, including his fa-
ther, struggle to understand ho-
mosexuality.
If we have a voice in the
White House who outwardly
supports us, that absolutely
helps understanding, 100 per-
cent, he said.
In Richmond, Va., Jeff Wells
was delightedat what he calleda
historic moment. The bed-and-
breakfast owner said he thought
Obamas prior reluctance to
speak out on the issue was politi-
cally motivated, and he was
pleasantly surprised that he
had the courage to to back
same-sex marriage.
Wells married his partner in
Massachusetts in 2009, but their
union isnt recognized in Virgin-
ia, where voters earlier approved
an amendment to the state Con-
stitution that defines marriage
solely as the union of one man
and one woman.
When I was 25 years old, I
never conceived that ... I would
one day be married to a man I
loved, Wells, 50, said.
Others reacted with skepti-
cism.
Delsa Bernardo, who co-owns
Yiyas Gourmet Cuban Bakery
and Caf in Miami with her girl-
friend, backed Obama in 2008
but has since become disillu-
sioned over economic issues.
Im happy and I think its about
time our country does it, she
said. But I dont think its all
Whoo-hoo! I mean, who cares
who youre sleeping with?
Joy, anger follow Obamas endorsement of gay marriage
The presidents Wednesday
remarks find widely divergent
responses across America.

Mother cites incidents
His mother, Dawn Mendygral,
said that in one instance, a dis-
trict employee asked Swank if
he had any rainbows in his back-
pack. A rainbow is a symbol of
the gay community.
In another episode, Swank
was wearing pink eye shadow
and his teacher went to the next
classroom and invited students
over to show the students that
he had pink eye. In a third, a
teacher threwa notebook at him
to draw his attention and the
wire cut her sons finger.
She said football players pelt-
ed her son with lollypops at a pa-
rade, students threw stones at
him in gym class and roughed
him up a bit in the halls. She re-
ported each incident and was
told they would be addressed,
but she was never told how.
Mendygral, 41, of Hanover
Township, said that in the latest
incident, the teacher asked
Swank and his prom date, 16-
year-old Selena Leyc, who at-
tends Lake-Lehman School Dis-
trict, if she couldtake a short vid-
eo of them dancing, using her
iPhone, to show her daughter.
Being out and proud, he
thought the (video) would show
her daughter who attended the
high school prom and the diver-
sity that exists in our communi-
ty, Mendygral said.
But Mendygral said she
learned from students, staff and
faculty at the school that the
teacher not only showed the vid-
eo to her daughter, but uploaded
it to a school computer and
played it for students in her sci-
ence class.
This caused my son to be rid-
iculed and humiliated at school.
This created a threatening and
unwelcoming environment,
which I believe is a violation of
the Pennsylvania Public School
Code, Mendygral said.
Rainbow Alliance enters
Mendygral, said she contacted
highschool Principal DavidFish-
er, whotoldher he wouldlookin-
to the matter, on Monday. After
not hearing back from him, she
sought help on Thursday from
the NEPARainbowAlliance an
advocacy group for the lesbian/
gay/bisexual/transgender com-
munity.
Alliance Executive Director
John Dawe said Fisher returned
a call from his office within 20
minutes, but he said he was told
the matter would have to be re-
ferred to the superintendent. He
believes the only reason Fisher
returned the call was because
Mendygral went to the Alliance
and was told the press would be
informed of the issue.
Dawe said the schools anti-
bullying policy and state law re-
lated to bullying both have defi-
ciencies because neither address
teacher-on-student bullying, on-
ly student-on-student bullying.
Mendygral addressed the Ha-
nover AreaSchool Boardat areg-
ularly scheduled meeting on
Thursday night and told the
members about the video and
that it was played for the teach-
ers science class.
I have a real problem with
that, Mendygral said. What Im
askingis, what youre goingtodo
about this, whats being done?
Investigation promised
Board President John Pericci
said the board became aware of
the situation Thursday and, in
accordance with policy, the su-
perintendent would conduct a
thorough investigation, which
would include interviewing all
parties involved.
Mendygral said her son was at
the meeting and willing to be in-
terviewed then, but Pericci said
that would not be necessary and
suggested a meeting next week
with Superintendent Anthony
Podczasy.
Due to the privacy rights of
the parties involved, due to even
the accuseds privacy rights, the
investigation process is conduct-
ed internally, said solicitor Ge-
orge Shovlin.
Shovlin said Principal David
Fisher began an investigation on
Tuesday and interviewed a stu-
dent who allegedly made a nega-
tive statement about the video
on Wednesday. Fisher wanted to
interview Swank, but he left
school early on Wednesday and
wasnt in school on Thursday, so
he calledthe superintendents of-
fice to bring it to the next level.
During public comment, resi-
dent Deborah Scott told the
school board she has a neighbor
in ninth grade who is bullied ev-
ery day.
She went to teachers in Ha-
nover and nothing was done. Its
a constant thing in this school
district. This student is not an
elite. The father is a very hard-
working man. Its a thing thats
been going on even when my
children were here, Scott said.
District has system
Boardmember FrankCiavarel-
la said the school has an anti-bul-
lying program, and notes were
sent home with students report
cards letting parents and stu-
dents know there is a hotline for
anonymous tips about bullying.
There are also signs around the
schools. There are resources
out there for these students, he
said.
But Scott said some teachers
are told about bullying and do
nothing.
And this overflows outside
the school. Its at the bus stops,
its coming and going, its where
theysocialize. Everygrouphas
to fear because you have some
people and family members in
this district that thinktheyre the
elite, think theyre beyond and
think theyre better. You peo-
plehadbetter wakeup, shesaid.
After the meeting, Podczasy
said the incident with Swank
was the first he has ever heard of
a teacher bullying a student in
the school district.
Mendygral said the board
needs to take action on this issue
andthe larger issue of bullyingin
the schools.
Linda Trompetter, of the
Northeastern Pennsylvania Di-
versity Education Consortium,
said she was shocked and ap-
palled to hear of the teachers al-
leged behavior. She believes the
teacher should be fired if the ac-
cusations are true and the school
should bring in diversity instruc-
tion for students and teachers.

After Tuesdays double-overtime
win over St. Johns to keep the sea-
son alive, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins goaltender Brad Thiessen
sat in his locker stall and cherished
the momentum.
But only temporarily.
Tuesdays win allowed the Pen-
guins to stave off elimination and
narrowtheIceCaps leadintheseries
to 3-2.
Game 6 is tonight in St. Johns,
and the Penguins again find them-
selves battling for their playoff lives.
Thats why Thiessen didnt want
to dwell on Tuesdays victory for ve-
ry long.
Enjoy this one for today but we
haveanother jobtodo(Friday). This
is just one step along the way, he
said.
After splitting the first two games
of the series in St. Johns, the Pen-
guins lost two of three in Wilkes-
Barre after all three games went to
overtime.
The fact that the last three games
have come down to the wire didnt
surprise either side.
These are two very good teams
that match up very well and are try-
ing to do their best to capitalize on
chances, said IceCaps head coach

One fleeting moment of delight
WILKES-BARRE While
playing tennis for Wyoming
Seminary, George and Harry
Parkhurst never met on the
court in a championship match.
The twin brothers, who are
seniors, are one win away from
doing so today as they both
won two

The finals are
slated for ap-

Last year, Harry participated
in the doubles championships
and won a district medal. His
brother is shooting for his sec-
ond straight singles title. As
freshmen and sophomores, they
both advanced to the semifinals
before falling. They have played
each other in finals before, just
not on the high school level.
It would be just like playing
him any other time except were
playing for the same school and
the same goal, George Park-
hurst said.
Harry disagrees with his
brother, who is six minutes ol-
der.
Regardless of what he said, I
think it would be very special,
Harry said. Not only for the
two of us, but for our school to
have two players in the finals,
which hasnt happened in years.
That would really be special for
me and for him too.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. Say this
for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees: They wont go down
without a fight. Literally or figu-

The Yankees squandered one
opportunity after another Thurs-
day at Frontier Field, endured a
bench-clearing get-together with
the Columbus Clippers and final-
ly won 4-3 on
Gustavo Moli-
nas two-out sin-

Steve Pearce
went 4-for-5 and scored three
runs, raising his average to .360.
He led off the 10th with a double,
and Cust was walked intentional-

NEWPORT TWP. Hazleton
Area showed Thursday why its
the hottest softball team in the
Wyoming Valley Conference,
winning its 10th consecutive
leaguegame7-0over Nanticoke.
The Cougars victory leaves
them and the Trojanettes tied
atop the WVC Division I East
race with10-2 marks. Nanticoke
was the last WVCteamtodefeat
Hazleton Area, winning 5-0 on
April 4.
We just couldnt get started,
Nanticoke coach Gary Williams
said. Everywhere we hit the
ball it seemed like it was right at
them. Thats the first time weve
been shut out in two years. Hats
off to Hazleton, they kept us off
the scoreboard.
Becky Demko was spectacu-
lar in throwing a four-hit shut-
out, striking out four and not is-
suing a walk. She faced just
three three-ball counts, and had
only one runner reach scoring
position against her.
I was just confident, Demko
said. Theyre a very good team
but everything was working. It
was just a very good day.
Demko start-
ed strong, fac-
ing the mini-
mum until the
last batter of
the fourth in-
ning. She re-
tired the first
seven she faced Thursday.
When we were up two runs,
youve got to stay focused,
Demko said of pitching with a
lead. It gets a lot easier (as the
lead grows), but youve got to
keep that up.
Meanwhile, the Hazleton of-
fense saw eight batters get at
least one hit, five players drive
in a run and six players touch
home plate. Maria Trivelpiece
had three singles to center, driv-
ing in a run on each of her hits
in the third, fifth and seventh in-
nings.
I had been pulling out my
shoulder, Trivelpiece said of a
change inher swing made about
two weeks ago. Our hitting
coach, Ted Treon, told me to
keep my shoulder in. It worked
well today.

NEW YORK CC Sabathia
outpitched David Price for the
first time in six career match-
ups between the All-Star left-
ies, Robinson Cano and Curtis
Granderson homered and the
New York Yankees beat the
Tampa Bay Rays 5-3 Thursday
night.
The Yankees overcame a pair
of early errors by third base-
man Eduardo Nunez to take
the series and send Tampa Bay
to its fourth loss in five games.
Sabathia (5-0) struck out 10,
punctuating his outing by
fanning B.J. Upton with two
runners on base to end the
seventh inning. The burly
pitcher twirled on the mound
and violently punched the air,
catcher Chris Stewart pumped
his fist and Upton pounded his
bat in the ground after swing-
ing over a slider.
Orioles 6, Rangers 5
Rangers 7, Orioles 3
BALTIMORE Josh Hamil-
ton hit his major league-lead-
ing 15th homer, Derek Holland
pitched six innings of four-hit
ball, and the Texas Rangers
beat the Baltimore Orioles for
a doubleheader split.
In the opener, the Orioles set
an AL record by hitting home
runs in their first three at-bats
and launched five in all against
Colby Lewis in a 6-5 victory.
Hamilton entered the dou-
bleheader coming off a four-
homer game and had five
home runs in his previous six
at-bats. After going 1 for 4 with
a single and two strikeouts in
the first game, he resumed his
assault on Baltimore pitching
by hitting a two-run, first-in-
ning shot off former Rangers
right-hander Tommy Hunter
(2-2).
Indians 8, Red Sox 3
BOSTON Embattled
starter Josh Beckett did noth-
ing to help restore his reputa-
tion, getting booed off the field
at Fenway Park in the third
inning of Bostons loss to the
Cleveland Indians.
Jack Hannahan hit a two-run
homer and Jason Kipnis had a
solo shot off Beckett, who was
already in hot water with Red
Sox fans for playing golf last
week a day after he was
scratched from his scheduled
start with a sore lat muscle in
his back.
Blue Jays 6, Twins 2
MINNEAPOLIS Hen-
derson Alvarez pitched seven
strong innings to win his third
straight start for the Toronto
Blue Jays.
Alvarez (3-2) stretched his
scoreless streak to 17 innings
before second baseman Kelly
Johnsons throwing error al-
lowed the Twins to score in the
third. Josh Willingham hit a
home run in the sixth, but the
22-year-old Venezuelan didnt
give up any more than that. He
allowed seven hits and three
walks while striking out two,
and one of those runs was
unearned.
Nationals 4, Pirates 2
PITTSBURGH Stephen
Strasburg struck out a season-
high 13 over six innings and
the Washington Nationals
snapped a three-game losing
streak with a 4-2 win over
Pittsburgh on Thursday night.
Roger Bernadina and Adam
LaRoche both homered in the
sixth off Pittsburghs Kevin
Correia (1-3) to erase a two-run
deficit. Henry Rodriguez
pitched the ninth for his sev-
enth save.
Strasburg improved to 3-0
while trimming his ERA to
1.64 by overpowering the
punchless Pirates.

MLB poised to dump
1st-and-3rd pickoff
NEW YORK A pickoff
move thats been part of
baseball strategy for years
might get picked off next
season.
Major League Baseball is
poised to eliminate the
fake-to-third, throw-to-first
trick that teams routinely use.
The Playing Rules
Committee has approved a
proposal to make the move a
balk, and MLB executives and
umpires are in agreement.
The players union vetoed the
plan for this season to discuss
it further.
MLB is allowed to
implement the change after a
one-year wait. Theres no
telling yet whether that would
happen if players strongly
object.
Under the new wording, a
pitcher could not fake to third
unless he first stepped off the
rubber. If he stayed on the
rubber, as most all pitchers do
now, it would be a balk.
STANDINGS/STATS
WASHINGTONInjuredand
defeated in a playoff game
against the Boston Red Sox, Rog-
er Clemens asked the general
manager of the New York Yan-
kees for themanwhocouldpush
his buttons. He asked for Brian
McNamee.
Two years later, the Yankees
didnt want McNamee around
anymore. They found him to be
insubordinate, and they had con-
cerns about a couple of incidents,
one in Florida and one in Seattle.
Acentral figure in the Clemens
perjury trial moved closer to cen-
ter stage Thursday. The jury
heard tantalizing facts about the
strength coach who says he in-
jectedthe11-time All-Star pitcher
with steroids and human growth
hormone with details awk-
wardly omitted because theyve
been ruled as not relevant to the
case.
McNamee is expected to take
the stand when testimony re-
sumes on Monday, the start of
the fifth week of the trial that is
meant to determine whether
Clemens liedtoCongress in2008
when he said he had never used
steroids or HGH.
But McNamee was also the fo-
cus Thursday when New York
Yankees general manager Brian
Cashman took the stand. Prose-
cutors used Cashman to show
how close Clemens and McNa-
mee had become; the defense
used Cashman to attack McNa-
mees integrity and praise Clem-
ens. In fact, the government to
date has put together a case
based in part on a string of wit-
nesses who have lauded Clem-
ens work ethic while testifying
that they had no evidence what-
soever that he usedperformance-
enhancing drugs.
One of the greatest players
that Ive ever seen. He worked
harder thaneverybody andledby
example, said Cashman, who
went on to add that Clemens has
something, pitchability, some-
thing else thats inside him that
puts his competitiveness at 100
on a scale of 1 to 10.
When it came to McNamee,
Cashmans words were less kind.
This particular individual,
Mr. McNamee, did not get along
with people, Cashman said.
Cashman recalled how McNa-
mee came to work for the Yan-
kees. It was Game 3 of the Amer-
ican League championship series
at Boston in 1999. Clemens had
allowed five runs before leaving
after two innings with a bum
hamstring. He had struggled
through what would be the worst
of his 24 seasons, at least when it
came to his earned run average.
Cashman said he went to the
visitors clubhouse at Fenway
Park and found Clemens with ice
on his leg and frustration on his
face.
He talked about how he
clicked with Brian McNamee,
Cashman said. He knew his
body. Brian knew how to train
him, push the right buttons on
him.
McNamee was hired by the
Yankees a decision made by
then-owner George Steinbrenner
the following year at a salary
of $30,000. The title was assist-
ant strength and conditioning
coach, but as Cashman put it:
His duties were to train Roger
Clemens.
McNamee had previously
worked with Clemens when both
were with the Toronto Blue Jays.
McNamee has said he injected
Clemens with steroids and HGH
during the 1998, 2000 and 2001
major league seasons.
Cashman related primarily
under cross-examination how
McNamees tenure with the club
went sour. He was luring players
away from the head strength and
conditioning coach. He was in-
structing pitchers about their
throwing motions, a job meant
for the pitching coach.
Cashman: McNamees pushed bottons, patience
Yankees GM explained how
Clemens got trainer hired,
and why he was fired.

brought home two runs.
Coughlin sophomore Dave
Marriggi struck out 10 batters

a losing effort.
Our pitching has been great,
Rodzinak said. We threw the
ball all around. Our guys fell

threw the ball all over the place.
Thats what happens. We just

HUGHESTOWN Pittston
Area executed a very simple
strategy: put the ball in play and
get the lead-off batter on base.
Fortunately for the Patriots
baseball team, it didnt have to
hit the ball very far nor very
often. Pittston Area recorded a
6-4 victory over first-place
Coughlin by playing mostly
small ball and letting the Cru-
sader defense make several bad
throws.
You didnt see too much
hitting on our side, Pittston
Area coach Paul Zaffuto said.
We just wanted to lay down
some bunts and put the ball in
play. It worked for us today. Our
key was getting the leadoff guy
on.
The win moves the Patriots
(7-5) to within a half-game be-
hind the Crusaders (8-5) for the
top spot in the Wyoming Valley
Conference Division 1 East. The
two teams split the regular
season series.
Hazleton Area also remains in
the hunt at 7-6.
After falling behind by five
runs through the three innings
on Thursday, Coughlin failed
twice to supply a big hit to tie
the game.
The Crusaders forced Pittston
Area starting pitcher Chuck
Bressler out of the game, one
out shy of the complete game.
With the go-ahead run at the
plate following three consec-
utive two-out singles in the top
of the seventh, Patriots closer
Michael Schwab allowed a fly
ball to deep center field that
reached the edges of the warn-
ing track.
The wind carried the ball,
fooling the centerfielder and
forcing him to catch it with
nearly his whole body turned to
the field for the final out.
There is like a wind tunnel
here, Zaffuto said. And when
it gets up there, it just keeps
floating. I thought he missed it.
Struggles with runners in
scoring position have become a
theme of late for Coughlin. Its
best chance at cutting into the
deficit came in the fourth in-
ning. Despite seven of its first
eight men at the plate reaching
base, Coughlin failed to convert
with the bases loaded, one out
and the go-ahead run at first.
Bressler forced a foul out and a
fielders choice to end the frame.
We havent been scoring runs,
Coughlin coach Moe Rodzinak
said. We could be playing the
Yankees, we could be playing
Pittston. It would be all the
same. Were not hitting at all.
Pittston Area used small ball
to its advantage. The Patriots
put six of their seven lead-off
batters on base. They moved
runners along often with bunt
or slap hits and stolen bases,
forcing a sloppy Coughlin de-
fense to mishandle the ball and
allow runners to advance.
I think we applied pressure,
Bressler said. They threw some
balls away and we applied some
pressure.
Leading the Patriots were
Jordan Houseman and Evan
Hahn with two-hit perform-

A double-OT deadlock
The Times Leader staff
ST. PAUL, Minn. Zygi and
Mark Wilf approached the steps
of the Minnesota state Capitol
building, and were immediately
swarmed by high-fives and
cheers from Vikings fans.
The Vikings owners beamed
as they celebrated finally land-
ing public funding for a new
$975 million stadium that will
keep the team in Minnesota for
another generation.
For two East Coast brothers
whose purchase of the team in
2005 was viewed with skepti-
cism and nervousness by a com-
munity that has lost professional
sports franchises before, the
Wilfs sure have come a long way
in the eyes of the fans and
state lawmakers.
Were here to stay, Zygi Wilf
said Thursday night at a press
conference to celebrate the pas-
sage of a stadium bill.
The cheers from purple-clad
fanatics in the back of Gov. Mark
Daytons receptionroomwerent
always so hearty.
The Wilfs have been pushing
for a new stadium to replace the
drab and outdated Metrodome
ever since they arrived seven
years ago. And no matter how
many times they assured every-
one they were committed to
staying in Minnesota, their lack
of roots in the meat-and-pota-
toes Midwest served to under-
cut their efforts.

loomed in the background, with
fans worrying that the nations
second-largest city would steal
the Vikings away from mid-mar-
ket Minnesota much like it stole
the Lakers back in 1960.
Legislative leaders chafed at
giving public money to outside
businessmen and fans had diffi-
culty fully embracing the new
owners of the most popular
sports team in the state.
As the Wilfs ran into road
block after road block, frustra-
tions ran high both inside and
outside the organization. They
were continually told to wait
their turn while other facilities
were built for the Twins andUni-
versity of Minnesota football
team, and many thought they
would have to threaten to move
or sell the team to get any trac-
tion with legislators who had
grownweary of stadiumpolitics.

games have been really strongly
contested and I expect more of
the same.
Penguins head coach John
Hynes said he doesnt expect
any momentum from Tuesdays
win to carry over into tonight.
What he does expect is confi-
dence.
When you do certain things
and get the end result, thats
what breeds your confidence,
Hynes said. Momentum is an
emotion, but it wanes. For us its
about confidence. If we do the
right things we can win the
game.
And if the Penguins do the
right things tonight and pull off
a win, they can conclude the
comeback with a third straight
win on Saturday in St. Johns.
We didnt take the two losses
in overtime and play back on
our heels (in Game 5). We were
aggressive, Hynes said. We
felt like we deserved some wins
that we didnt get. Its nice to get
thewin(inGame5), but nowwe
have to continue to move on.

George, the top seed in the
bracket, breezed through his
two matches only dropping
two games. He knocked off
Valley Views Tony Jadus 6-0,
6-0 in the second round before
ousting Meyers Matt James
6-0, 6-2 in the quarterfinals.
The third-seeded Harry
Parkhurst only lost four total
games in his two victories.
First, he got past Wyoming Ar-
eas Davide Fanelli 6-1, 6-1.
Then, he dispatched Holy
Cross Rob Azzarelli by the
same score to get to the semis.
The Parkhursts will each
face a Scranton Prep player in
the semifinals. George will see
No. 4 seed Walker Temperton,
while Harry takes on second
seed Will Cognetti. The four
players are familiar with each
other. Last year, George beat
both en route to the title. Also
in 2011, Harry and his doubles
partner Henry Cornell knocked
off the SP duo for the gold.
Earlier this week, Harry
Parkhurst defeated Temperton
in the districts team cham-
pionship, while George was
beating Cognetti before their
match was halted. The Park-
hursts were in a similar sit-
uation in 2010 after beating the
Cavaliers in the team tourna-
ment and then lost in the semi-
finals to two different Prep
players.
So while it would be an hon-
or to square off in the finals,
the brothers arent looking
ahead.
I would definitely say we
have an advantage, but I dont
want to take it too far, Harry
Parkhurst said. So I dont
want to think about that too
much, but theres definitely a
confidence-building in that.
The Blue Knights are the on-
ly two Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence athletes remaining in ei-
ther classification.
In Class 3A, Hazleton Areas
L.J. Sidari and Tunkhannocks
Jordan Herbert each won two
matches apiece to advance to
the quarterfinals, but came up
short. The Cougar dropped a
6-0, 6-4 match to Abington
Heights Jai Redker. Herbert
played a close match against
Steve Sack, the No. 2 seed
from Scranton, before losing
7-5, 6-4.

eighth, though no punches were
thrown, after Yankees reliever
Manny Delcarmen took excep-
tion to being warned about
brushback pitches from home-
plate umpire Chad Whitson.
Delcarmen, activated from the
disabled list before the game,
had thrown two closes pitches
to Matt LaPorta earlier in the in-
ning and was warned after his
first pitch sailed behind Andy
LaRoche.
Clippers players chirped at
the pitcher, he walked toward
them, and the benches and bull-
pens emptied. Del Carmen and
LaPorta were both ejected.
Cust was nearly hit by a pitch
from Clippers starter Corey
Kluber in the fourth inning.
They threw at my head, and
that started it, Cust said.
The Yankees loaded the bases
with no outs in the fifth and
didnt score.
They put runners at first and
second in the seventh but failed
to produce, and they left the
winning run at third in the bot-
tomof theninth. Bothtimes, the
inning ended on dribblers near
the mound by center fielder Co-
lin Curtis.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre was
the only International League
team that had not played extra
innings before Thursday.
Hazleton High graduate Russ
Canzler did not start for Colum-
bus but took over in left field af-
ter Matt LaPorta was ejected.
He struck out to end the top of
the 10th in his only at-bat, ex-
tending his slump to 1-for-18.
Canzler was the 2011 Interna-
tional League MVP for the Dur-
ham Bulls and is hitting .250
with no home runs and just five
RBI in30 games (115 at-bats) for
the Clippers.
The Yankees grabbed a 1-0
leadinthefirst onPearces wind-
blown double to left and Custs
RBI single to center. The Clip-
pers used the tricky wind to
their advantage in the fourth.
Chad Huffman led off with a fly
down the left-field line that
curved in past Brandon Laird at
the last second, landing Huff-
man at second with a double.
Jose Lopez doubled him in and
eventually scored on Beau
Mills sacrifice fly. Columbus
added a run in the fifth, using
three singles with two outs.
The Yankees continue their
18-game homestand tonight
at 7:05, taking on the Durham
Bulls. When they play at Toledo
next Tuesday, it will be their
first official road game in 20
days.
Ramon Ortiz (0-3, 4.18) is
scheduled to start for the Yan-
kees tonight against Lance Pen-
dleton (1-1, 4.38) in a matchup
of right-handers.

YANKEES
Who would not be inspired by
this crowd? OBrien said to the
audience. Ive got chills goingup
my spine.
McGloin and fellow District 2
products Eugene Lewis, Nyeem
Wartman and J.R. Refice were
among the crowd there to come
out tolistentoOBrienandfellow
Penn State coaches Russ Rose
and Greg Nye.
Just here to show support for
Coach OBrien, McGloin said.
My familys here. Were all here
just to support our coach. We
have to give back to our fans and
get behind this new system.
Oh, and maybe put in a good
word for that starting job.
Somebody out there kept say-
ing to me this would be a great
night to announce your starting
quarterback, OBrien said to
laughter from the crowd.
Easy there, Matt.
Though OBrien isnt tipping
his hand, McGloin looks to have
anedge at reclaimingthe starting
jobheadingintopreseasoncamp.
OBrien was sure to play up
McGloins strengths as a hard
worker and a leader to his home-
town crowd on Thursday.
While McGloin may be the
most notable name fromthe area
to play a prominent role for the
2012 Nittany Lions, OBrien said
that a Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence player will get a shot to play
as well.
That would be Lewis, who will
enroll at Penn State in a few
months and play receiver after a
standout career at Wyoming Val-
ley West.
The thing I like about Geno is
that hes a bright-eyed, alert kid,
OBrien said. Hes very articu-
late. He came up to the Blue-
White Game with his dad and
that was pretty cool to see him
and get to know him better.
Im just looking forward to
working with him, and I think
hes going to end up being a real
contributor to the program.
Whether thats (this season),
well find out how he does com-
ing in. But were looking forward
to working with him for sure.
Playing a skill position as a
young guy, its a little bit easier to
play the farther away from the
(snap) you play. Because its
more about athletic ability thanit
is about physical strength.
Before the dinner banquet,
OBrien said in a brief interview
that he wouldnt mind seeing
Penn State getting back to play-
ing Notre Dame.
Obviously Penn State-Notre
Dame is a great rivalry and its
good for college football,
OBrien said. Our future sched-
ules are set through about 2015,
so were talking about 16, 17, 18,
so its a ways away.
Playing Notre Dame would be
a lot of fun, it would be great for
college football, but it would be
down the road.
OBrien said he was still wait-
ing to get final reports on grades
from the spring semester. Tail-
back Curtis Dukes, who sat out
springpractice toget his academ-
ics inorder, wouldbeoneof those
borderline cases.
We really dont know yet,
OBrien said. Well be finalizing
a lot of that andhave a better idea
next week of where we stand aca-
demically.
Quarterback Paul Jones is ex-
pectedtobe eligible for the fall af-
ter sitting out the 2011 season.

ning hit gave Hazleton Area a
three-run lead, Nanticoke put its
only runner into scoring position
on a one-out double to right-cen-
ter by Maggie Gola. Kayla Benja-
min followed with an apparent
single to right, but was called out
despite beating the throw from
Cougars right fielder Ashley
Donlin to the bag.
That was a tough break for
us, Williams said. Wed have
been first and third, one out.
Maybe we could steal a base and
have two in scoring position. We
were only down 3-0 then. It really
broke our back.
The call ended the threat for
Nanticoke, which also had two
baserunners thrown out trying to
steal second by Hazleton Area
catcher Justine Rossi, with tags
applied by shortstop Mikaela
Browdy.
Donlin (two hits) and Carly
Rossi had RBI singles for Hazle-
ton Area in the sixth inning to
break open a 3-0 game. Abby
Sachse added two hits in the win.

PHILADELPHIA Andre
Iguodala made the go-ahead free
throws with 2.2 seconds left and
the Philadelphia 76ers rallied for
a 79-78 victory over the top-
seeded Chicago Bulls in Game 6
on Thursday night, advancing to
the second round of the Eastern
Conference playoffs for the first
time since 2003.
Omar Asik missed two free
throws for the Bulls with 7
seconds left that would have
sealed the win. Iguodala
grabbed the second miss, sprint-
ed the length of the court, and
was fouled by Asik on the driv-
ing layup. He made both and
20,362 fans went absolutely
wild.
The Sixers are the fifth No. 8
seed to win a first-round series
against a No. 1 seed. Memphis
eliminated San Antonio last
season, while Golden State
(2007), New York (1999) and
Denver (1994) also pulled off
the rare feat.
In his second season, coach
Doug Collins had already led
the Sixers to their first winning
season in seven years. Now, its
on to the second round for the
first time since Allen Iverson
was an All-Star.
Iguodala and Evan Turner
hopped on the scorers table and
played to the crowd as the
catchy 76ers theme song blared
in the arena.
The Sixers were smiling and
mobbed each other as they
dashed to the locker room for a
long-overdue celebration.
The Sixers were 2.2 seconds
from playing Game 7 in Chica-
go.
Now, they will pack their bags
for a date with the winner of the
Boston-Atlanta series in the
second round.
Iguodala scored 20 points,
and Jrue Holiday and Lou Wil-
liams each scored 14. The Sixers
won even though the Bulls
crushed them 56-33 on the
boards.
Luol Deng had 19 points and
17 rebounds for the Bulls. Ri-
chard Hamilton scored 19 points
and Carlos Boozer grabbed 13
rebounds.
The Sixers started 20-9 and
led the Atlantic Division for the
first half of the season until a
late fade sent them tumbling
toward eighth place.
None of that matters now.
Not even the fact that the
series win comes with a bit of
an asterisk. The Bulls lost star
guard Derrick Rose to a torn
anterior cruciate ligament in his
left knee late in their series-
opening victory. Center Joakim
Noah was on the bench Thurs-
day but failed to play in his third
straight game with a sprained
left ankle.
Without their stars, the Bulls
found it tough to gut one out
against the Sixers.
Williams, second in the NBAs
Sixth Man of the Year Award
voting, buried a 3-pointer for a
73-72 lead with 4 minutes left.
The jubilation was short-lived.
The Sixers were whistled for
goaltending and Taj Gibson
later made two free throws for a
76-73 lead.
Spencer Hawes tried to draw
the foul but settled for a basket
underneath to shrink the deficit
to one. Asik scored to push the
lead back to three with 25.8
seconds left and Philadelphias
Thaddeus Young made it 78-77
to set the stage for the dramatic
finish.
The Bulls had the lock-down
defensive effort to nearly pull off
the win.
Celtics 83, Hawks 80
BOSTON Kevin Garnett
had 28 points and 14 rebounds,
hitting a jumper to give Boston
the lead with 31 seconds left in
Game 6, and the Celtics beat the
Atlanta Hawks to win their
first-round playoff series and
advance to the Eastern Confer-
ence semifinals for the fifth
straight year.
The Celtics will play the Phi-
ladelphia 76ers, who eliminated
East No. 1 seed Chicago in six
games with a 79-78 victory
earlier Thursday.
Paul Pierce had 18 points,
seven assists and five rebounds
for Boston despite playing with
a sprained medial collateral
ligament in his left knee.
Josh Smith had 19 points and
nine rebounds and Al Horford
had 15 points and nine rebounds
for Atlanta, which failed to
advance in the playoffs for the
first time in four years.

Thunders Harden
wins Sixth Man
of the Year
OKLAHOMA CITY
Oklahoma Citys James Harden
is the NBAs Sixth Man of the
Year after leading all bench
players in scoring this season.
Harden averaged 16.8 points
on career-best 49 percent
shooting this season, and he
recorded his first career
40-point game last month in a
win at Phoenix. The bearded
combo guard also became
known in the final week of the
regular season when he
sustained a concussion while
taking an elbow from the Los
Angeles Lakers Metta World
Peace. He recovered in time to
return for the playoffs and was
the star of the Thunders
fourth-quarter comeback to
beat Dallas in the clinching
Game 4 of their opening round
sweep.
NEW YORK Crunch the
numbers, ride the waves of mo-
mentum, andthentry toguess if
theWashingtonCapitals or New
YorkRangers will survive anoth-
er Game 7 and move on to the
Eastern Conference finals.
Hockey analysts will make ve-
rycompellingarguments and
leave anyone who is listening
believing that both teams cant
lose the win-or-go-home match-
up on Saturday night at Madi-
son Square Garden.
Ah yes, Madison Square Gar-
den, the famed arena in which
the host Rangers are 4-0 in
Game 7s. It is also the place
where the Rangers pulled out a
Game 5 win in this series by
scoring a power-play goal with
7.6 seconds left in regulation,
and then another less than 2
minutes into overtime, turning
what appeared to be a sure loss
into one of the most electrifying
victories in club history.
You know, the tide-turning
winthat the Capitals wouldnev-
er be able to bounce back from
even though they were head-
ing home for Game 6. It didnt
quite work out that way, and
now its the Rangers who will
fight to make sure there is no
carry-over in the other direction
for Game 7.
We cant let it, Rangers cap-
tain Ryan Callahan said. We
have to put this one behind us.
We have to go in Saturday ready
to play.
Whoever prevails will face the
well-rested New Jersey Devils
with a trip to the Stanley Cup fi-
nals on the line. The Rangers,
eliminated from the playoffs by
Washington in two of the previ-
ous three seasons, havent been
to the conference finals since
1997. That was three years after
they won the Cup for the first
time in 54 years.
The Capitals have never won
it all. They were swept in 1998
by Detroit in their only appear-
ance in the Cup finals and have
been to the conference finals
twice.
It takes a lot of character to
bounce back all the time, Cap-
itals coach Dale Hunter said.
Youre going to have your ups
and downs, especially in the
playoffs. We have a lot of charac-
ter in that room.
Alex Ovechkin has been a
symbol of that. He has dealt
with limited ice time in the play-
offs, but hasnt sulked. He had
no shots in Game 5, and it ap-
pearedthat perhaps he hadbeen
neutralized by New York.
Not so fast.
Ovi has been good, Hunter
said. You see him blocking
shots. Hes dedicated to win-
ning like the rest of the guys are.
And doing the little things. It
takes little things to win. Every-
body is looking at the big, big,
big picture. Its the little things
on the ice that end up winning.
Ever the prime-time player,
Ovechkin quickly showed he
can deliver the big things, too.

CONCORD, N.C. Danica
Patrick said Thursday she isnt
sure if NASCARwill penalize her
for intentionally wrecking Sam
Hornish Jr. at Talladega Super-
speedway.
Patrick was angry after Horn-
ish ran her up the track on the
last lap of the Nationwide Series
race. She retaliated on the cool-
down lap, but insisted her intent
was only to hit Hornish to show
her displeasure.
After watching a replay of the
accident, she called both Horn-
ish and Nationwide Series direc-
tor Joe Balash. She also ex-
changed emails with Hornish
team owner Roger Penske.
I was definitely surprised he
hit the wall, that was completely
unintentional, she said during
an appearance for new sponsor
Coca-Cola at Charlotte Motor
Speedway. Sam didnt mean to
put me in the wall, either. Were
bothgood, andI knowwere both
looking forward to Darlington.
Patrick was not called to the
NASCAR hauler after the race,
and has not been punished for
her actions. She wasnt sure if
that will change once she arrives
today at Darlington Raceway.
I have no idea, she said.
Thats not my department. I
dont make those kinds of deci-
sions. Thats up to NASCAR and
the things that they look at, and
the things they take into consid-
eration.
Theres been grumbling
among fans about NASCAR offi-
cials not even speaking to Pa-
trick after Saturdays race, main-
ly because Kyle Busch was
parkedfor anentire weekendlast
November for intentionally
wrecking Ron Hornaday Jr. un-
der caution at Texas.
In disciplining Busch, NAS-
CAR president Mike Helton re-
peated several times that Busch
was parked specifically for the
Hornadayincident andit was not
a penalty based on overall body
of work. Some fans contend Pa-
trick should also have been sub-
jected to a penalty under that
premise.
Meanwhile, Ryan Newman al-
so wondered about NASCAR in-
consistencies after team owner
Tony Stewart went unpunished
for his tongue-and-cheek cri-
tique of Sundays race at Tallade-
ga. Newman, who was also at the
Coca-Cola appearance on Thurs-
day, was fined two years ago by
NASCAR for critical remarks
about the same track.
The difference? Stewart was
clearly being sarcastic when he
said, among other things, that I
feel bad that, as drivers, we
couldnt do a better job of crash-
ing enough cars for themtoday.
Said Newman: I guess theres
a difference when you hold a
straight face versus and when
you dont. I didnt see much dif-
ference in what he said versus
what I said. I knowNASCARhas
supposedly changed their ways a
little bit.
Stewart concluded his session
on Sunday by suggesting NAS-
CAR turn Talladega into a figure
eight. Newman offered a differ-
ent solution moving the race
from Talladega to Barber Motor-
sports in Leeds, Ala.
Patrick unsure if she will be punished

INDIANAPOLIS Bryan
Hertawill trytowinthis years In-
dianapolis 500 with the same en-
gine that took him to Victory
Lane last year.
Twoweeks after it was released
from its contract with Lotus,
Bryan Herta Autosport an-
nouncedThursdaythat it will use
Honda engines for the rest of this
season. The move comes two
days before practice opens for the
500 and a little more than two
weeks before the May 27 race.
My time as a Honda driver in
both the IndyCar Series, as well
as the time spent driving factory
Acura LMP2 in the American Le
Mans Series, were among my
most rewarding and memorable
years inracing, Herta said. Soit
is with great personal pleasure
that we are returning to the Hon-
da family.
The move revved up hope
among team members that they
can defend the 500 title after a
slow start in 2012.
Problems had been mounting
for Herta and Lotus.
Driver Alex Tagliani failed to
complete a lap at Alabama be-
cause of a bad throttle, then drop-
ped out after completing only 46
of 85 laps at Long Beach because
the engine overheated. The team
skipped Sao Paulo as it shopped
for a new engine-manufacturer.
Taglianis best finish this season
was 15th in the season-opener at
St. Petersburg.
While the Honda engines have
been more competitive than
those from Lotus, Chevrolet has
dominated the early results. Rog-
er Penskes team has driven Che-
vy to wins in each of the first four
races this season.
But Honda will now have 15
cars trying to make the 33-car In-
dy field, including Taglianis No.
98 car. The late Dan Wheldon
drove that number into Victory
Lane for Herta last season after
passing JR Hildebrand, who had
crashed, in the front straighta-
way.
Were pleased to be able to re-
new our relationship with Bryan
Herta and his team, said Steve
Eriksen, vice president of Honda
Performance Development. His
teams victory in the 2011 Indi-
anapolis 500 was the stuff of leg-
end, and all of us at HPD and
AmericanHonda are delightedto
have a hand in helping him de-
fend that championship.
Its also another setback for Lo-
tus, which got off to a late start
and whose engines havent pro-
duced.
Lotus released Hertas team
and Dreyer & Reinbold Racing
fromtheir contracts April 24, and
nowits facing a $4.6 million law-
suit from Dragon Racing, which
is owned by Penskes son, Jay.
The suit claims Lotus has dam-
aged the reputation of the two-
car teamthat features drivers Se-
bastien Bourdais of France and
Katherine Legge of England.
Penske is searching for new en-
gines.
Legge was the only rookie not
to make it onto the track Thurs-
day and one of only two who did
not complete their rookie test.
Former Freedom 100 winner
Wade Cunningham completed
the first two phases of his rookie
test, but didnt have enough time
to complete the third phase.
The only other driver who
didnt get track time was Bour-
dais, who was granted time for a
refresher course at the speedway.
The departure of all three
teams leaves Lotus with only two
drivers using its engines to qual-
ifyfor the 500Switzerlands Si-
mona De Silvestro, who works
for the one-car teamof HVMRac-
ing, and Jean Alesi, who was just
added to the newFan Force Unit-
ed team this week.
Hes not
messing
with past
success
Herta will use same Honda
engine that brought him to
Indy 500 victory last year.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.
The last two years, Tiger
Woods was gone before The
Players Championship ended be-
cause of injuries.
This time, it might be from his
golf.
The TPC Sawgrass got the
best of Woods again on Thurs-
day when he couldnt give him-
self birdie chances with a wedge
in his hand, had only one birdie
on the par 5s and wound up with
a 2-over 74.
Woods once went nearly eight
years without missing the cut.
Now hes in danger of missing
the cut for the second straight
week.
It certainly wasnt the most
positive start, Woods said. Any
kind of momentum that I would
build, I would shoot myself in
the foot on the very next hole.
Just one of those days.
Woods is a notoriously slow
starter on the Stadium Course.
In his 15th year at The Players
Championship, he has yet to
break 70 in the opening round.
In this case, however, conditions
were ideal for scoring under
warm sunshine, with the wind
not picking up until the middle
of the round.
Ian Poulter opened with a 65,
and 13 other players from the
morning wave shot in the 60s.
Woods was never under par at
any time in his round, and he
traded bogeys with birdies
around the turn. From a fairway
bunker on the 15th, he pulled it
left of a bunker and took two
shots to reach the green. After a
birdie on the island-green 17th,
Woods was in the fairway on the
18th when he came up short and
to the right, leading to another
bogey.
Tiger Woods is in jeopardy of missing yet another cut
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.
The TPC Sawgrass would
seem to be the last golf course
where a player canrelax.
That might explain why Ian
Poulter and Martin Laird were
atopthe leaderboardThursday in
The Players Championship at 7-
under 65, even if their mood was
for entirely different reasons.
Poulter finally moved in his
newhomeat LakeNona that took
nearly three years to build and
caused him enough grief that he
saidhecouldwritea book. It took
solongtounpackboxes last week
that he barely had time to prac-
tice, but at least his head was
clear.
All of the hassle and stress is
over, andI canjust goout andplay
golf, Poulter said.
Laird recently parted with his
longtime caddie, and hired a new
looper who also is a friend and
closer to his age.
It was kindof nice to be out on
the course and be able to chat
away to someone thats my age
andis like a friendas opposedtoa
caddie, he said. That definitely
helped keep me a little more re-
laxed on the golf course, and it
feeds through all parts of your
game, downto your putting.
It wasnt like that for everyone.
Four players withdrew with
various injuries and high scores.
Sunghoon Kang opened with a
quadruple-bogey9, followedwith
eagle-par-birdie and lost four
shots over the last four holes. Jer-
ry Kelly made four birdies and
shot 82.
Tiger Woods brought a small
degree of normalcy, not necessar-
ily a good thing for him at Saw-
grass. He has never broken 70 in
his15 years at The Players Cham-
pionship, and he extended that
streak with a sloppy 74. This
mightbecostly, however, because
it put himinatiefor100thandput
him in serious danger of missing
the cut for the second straight
week. He has only missed eight
cuts inhis career.
Just oneof thosedays, Woods
said, andthereseems tobealot of
those lately.
Poulter ran off four straight
birdies around the turn and bird-
ied all of the par 5s, key for this
golf course. Laird was the only
player without a bogey on his
card. He made birdie on his final
holetocatchPoulter, althoughhis
focus was more on his scorecard
thanthe leaderboard.
IknewIhadntmadea5all day,
and that was kind of a little goal I
had, said Laird, who finished on
the par-5 ninth. Nothing to do
with getting to 7 under. It was, I
dont want to make a 5 all day.
Theywereashotaheadof Blake
Adams, with Ben Crane and Ke-
vin Na another shot behind. The
11 players at 68 included Adam
Scott, Matt Kuchar, Ben Curtis
and FedEx champion Bill Haas.
Therewere27playerswhoshot in
the 60s, and more than half the
fieldbroke par.
Woods was not among them.
Not evenclose.
I just didnt score, Woods
said. It was frustrating in the
sense that my good shots ended
upinbadspots, andobviously, my
bad shots ended up in worse
spots.
The conditions were ideal for
scoring for those hitting it where
they were aiming, and making
their share of putts.
Adams ranoff fivestraight bird-
ies early inhis roundandkept the
mistakes to a minimum. Na shot
30 onthe back nine.
Sawgrass, though, punishes
eventhe slightest mistakes.
Rory McIlroy, the world No. 1,
was 2 under for his round until
comingupjust short of theisland-
green17thandmakingdoublebo-
gey.

MADRIDRafael Nadal lost
to Spanish countryman Fernan-
do Verdasco for the first time in
the Madrid Open on Thursday,
then he and top-ranked Novak
Djokovic threatened not to re-
turn if the new blue clay-court
wasnt discarded.
Nadal blew a 5-2 lead in the
third set in losing 6-3, 3-6, 7-5,
his first defeat to Verdasco in 14
matches.
The third-round loss was Na-
dals earliest exit in a clay-court
tournament since he fell to Oli-
vier Mutis in the second round
in Palermo, Italy, in 2004.
Defending champion Djokov-
ic and Roger Federer, mean-
while, eased into the quarterfi-
nals with straight-set wins.
Nadal blamed his first loss on
clay in almost a year on the blue
clay, which players have said
was slippery.
Being able to move is very
important for me and if I cant
move well, I cant hit the ball
well either, said Nadal, the sec-
ond seed and two-time Madrid
champion. If things dont
change, this will be one less
tournament on the calendar for
me.
This surface destabilizes the
game. It is a completely differ-
ent game and I dont want to
take risks.
Verdasco, who became only
the seventh player to beat Nadal
on clay in eight years, burst into
tears on the court in front of his
hometown fans upon sealing
the upset with a forehand win-
ner.
After losing so many times
against hon-
estly the best
player on clay
ever, to beat
him on clay is
the maxi-
mum, said an
emotional Ver-
dasco. I dont
have words. I am happy for the
win, although it is difficult to
hold myself together now. I
need to calmdown, rest and get
ready for the next match.
Verdasco will play Tomas Ber-
dych next after the Czech beat
Gael Monfils 6-1, 6-1.
Djokovic had an easier time
defeating Stanislas Wawrinka
7-6 (5), 6-4, but saidhe wouldal-
so boycott the tournament if it
didnt go back to the traditional
red-clay surface.
They are claiming that the
court is exactly the same as red
clay, which is not true because
there is a big difference, the de-
fendingchampionsaid. Youare
tripping, slipping all the time,
sliding. The winner will be the
one who doesnt get hurt by the
end of the week.
Its a new experience, and
the way it looks this year, hope-
fully the last experience.
Djokovic let slip five set
points before finally taking the
first set in the tiebreaker and
then broke his Swiss challenger
twice to decide the match in an
hour and 45 minutes.
The worlds top-ranked player
will next play fellow Serb Janko
Tipsarevic, who beat Gilles Si-
mon of France 7-6 (3), 5-7, 6-1.
The third-seeded Federer hit
10 aces.

PHOENIX Instead of play-
ing in a championship baseball
game, Paige Sultzbach and her
team wont even make it to the
dugout.
A Phoenix school that was
scheduled to play the 15-year-old
Mesa girl and her male team-
mates forfeited the game rather
than face a female player.
Our Lady of Sorrows bowed
out of Thursday nights game
against Mesa Preparatory Acade-
myinthe Arizona Charter Athlet-
ic Association championship.
The game had been scheduled at
Phoenix College.
Paige, who plays second base
at Mesa Prep, had to sit out two
previous games against Our Lady
of Sorrows out of respect for its
beliefs. But having her miss the
championship was not an option
for Mesa Prep.
Paiges mother, Pamela Sultz-
bach, told The Arizona Republic,
whichfirst reportedthe story, the
team found out about the forfeit
Wednesday.
This is not a contact sport, it
shouldnt be an issue, Pamela
Sultzbach said. It wasnt that
they were afraid they were going
to hurt or injure her, its that
(they believe) a girls place is not
on a field.
Officials at Our Lady of Sor-
rows declined comment. In a
written statement Thursday, the
school said the decision to forfeit
was consistent with a policy pro-
hibiting co-ed sports.
The statement also said the
school teaches boys respect by
not placing girls in athletic com-
petition, where proper bounda-
ries can only be respected with
difficulty.
Our Lady of Sorrows is run by
the U.S. branch of the Society of
Saint Pius X. The group repre-
sents conservative, traditional
priests who broke from the Ca-
tholic Church in the 1980s.
In junior high, Paige played
softball and volleyball. Because
Mesa Prep does not have a girls
softball team, she tried out for
the boys baseball team and re-
ceived support from her coach
and her fellow teammates.
Lisa Maatz, director of public
policy at the American Associ-
ation of University Women, said
the situation is a clear example of
why Title IX law, which enforces
gender equality in education pro-
grams including sports, is need-
ed.
The very idea that such ster-
eotypes are so strong, theyd ac-
tually forfeit a game simply be-
cause a girl was on the field.
Thats ridiculous, Maatz said.
Does she have cooties?
Nancy Hogshead-Makar, se-
nior director of advocacy for the
Womens Sports Foundation, said
the schools decision to forfeit
doesnt aid its own students.
In real life, these boys are go-
ing to be competing against the
girls for jobs, for positions in
graduate programs or in trade
schools, Hogshead-Makar said.
In every other area of their life,
they are going to be competing
side by side.
Both schools play in the seven-
team 1A division of the ACAA.
Our Lady of Sorrows won the
Western Division and Mesa Prep
won the Eastern Division with an
undefeated season.

MILAN World champion
Mark Cavendish won the fifth
stage of the Giro dItalia on
Thursday, while American Taylor
Phinney crashed and Ramunas
Navardauskas retained the overall
lead.
Cavendish
edged Matthew
Goss of Australia
to finish the 123-
mile leg from Mo-
dena to Fano in 4
hours, 43 min-
utes, 15 seconds.
It is the Team Sky
riders second vic-
tory in this years
Giro, after his
Stage 2 win.
I was a little bit
tired and we did
really what the
other teams have
done and let the
others do the
work, Cavendish
said. But we
were able to com-
mit all our guys at
the end and we
took the race up
with 10K to go
and it was textbook work from the
team. Im super super happy.
Navardauskas is five seconds
ahead of Garmin-Barracuda team-
mate Robert Hunter.
Phinney collided with Lucas Se-
bastian Haedo about 18 miles
from the finish.
Both were swiftly back on their
bikes but struggled to join the
front of the pack.
Phinney had a swollen right an-
kle following a crash on Monday.
Cavendish stayed with the
group in a tough finale before be-
ing expertly led to the finish by
his teammates, who rode to the
front with just over 3 miles left.
Goss sprinted around Sacha Mo-
dolo to stay on Cavendishs heels
but couldnt pass the Briton.
Italian Daniele Bennati was
third.
The climbers get a chance to
shine this weekend with the first
hilly stages on today, Saturday
and Sunday.

Benefit applications slip
Applications for unemployment
benefits are falling again after rising for
most of April, suggesting hiring could
pick up this month.
Weekly applications dropped 1,000 to
a seasonally adjusted 367,000 in the
week ending May 5, the Labor Depart-
ment said Thursday.
The four-week average, a less volatile
measure, fell by 5,250 to 379,000. It
was the first decline since late March.
When applications stay consistently
below 375,000, it suggests job growth
is strong enough to lower the unem-
ployment rate.
U.S. has surplus in April
The U.S. government took in more
money than it spent in April, the first
monthly surplus in nearly four years.
But the federal government still is on
track to exceed a $1 trillion deficit for
the fourth straight year, keeping the
contentious issue front and center
during the 2012 presidential election.
For April, the government recorded a
surplus of $59.1 billion, the first April
surplus since the 2008 financial crisis, a
sign that the economy is healthier and
producing more tax revenue.
Wireless contracts down
The seven largest U.S. wireless
phone companies, representing more
than 95 percent of the market, lost a
combined 52,000 subscribers from
contract-based plans in the January to
March period, according to a tally by
the Associated Press. The companies
have a combined 220 million devices
on such plans, accounting for about
two-thirds of the total number of de-
vices.
Since nearly every adult, and many
children and teenagers, have phones,
theres little room for growth. Sub-
scribers also are buying cheaper, no-
contract plans, which showed an in-
crease of at least 2 million.
Record-low mortgage rates
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said
Thursday that the rate on the 30-year
loan ticked down this week to 3.83
percent. Thats the lowest since long-
term mortgages began in the 1950s.
The 15-year mortgage, a popular
option for refinancing, dropped to 3.05
percent, also a record.
Rates have been below 4 percent for
all but one week since early December,
yet sales of both previously occupied
homes and new homes fell in March.

THE TIMES LEADER FRIDAY, MAY 11, 2012

MIAMI Walk through the modern
new document depository in Medley,
Fla., andone thingbecomes clear: Paper
can be a hard habit to break.
Opened 16 months ago, the facility
owned by an Atlanta company employs
a team dedicated to digitizing records
and storing them in secure computer-
ized archives that can scan millions of
files in a moment. But that part of the
business occupies a tiny portion of Re-
calls Medley operation, which remains
dominated by old-fashioned paperwork.
The warehouse nowcontains roughly
10 million files and 500 million pieces of
paper. Theyfill 90rows of shelves 30feet
tall, running the length of two football
fields. The warehouse purchased
193,000 labels to set up the shelving sys-
tem.
Everyone wants topushdigital, said
Ruben Garcia, Recalls top Florida exec-
utive. Ive beeninthe business15 years.
Paper doesnt go away.
The warehouse stands ready to de-
stroy paper records that clients no long-
er want to keep. But parting with paper
can be hard to do.
In the loading bay, a red sign reading
DESTROY hangs over a cluster of
about 100 boxes. Those documents will
be shredded. Another 2,000 cardboard
boxes stretch fromnear the discard area
to the far end of the warehouse, stacked
five or six high.
This all came in Friday, Garcia ex-
plained on a recent Monday morning.
We need to put it up today.
Thats roughly a 20-to-1 ratio of new
paper records to destroyed ones. It
keeps coming, said Garcia. Who is go-
ing to stop it?
Garcia also cited digital anxiety in ex-
plaining the crush of paper inside the
Recall facility. He said some companies
require the CFOs signature before de-
stroying records, and executives often
hesitate to take such a final step even if
digital duplicates exist.

BOSTON Couples retir-
ing this year can expect their
medical bills throughout re-
tirement to cost 4 percent
more than those who retired a
year ago, according to an an-
nual projection released
Wednesday by Fidelity Invest-
ments.
The estimated $240,000
that a newly retired couple
will need to cover health care
expenses reflects the typical
pattern of projected annual in-
creases. The company cut the
estimate for the first time last
year, citing
President Ba-
rack Obamas
health care
overhaul.
Medicare
changes result-
ing from that
plan are ex-
pected to grad-
ually reduce
many seniors
out-of-pocket expenses for
prescription drugs.
But Fidelity says overall
health care cost trends are on
the rise again, so its raising its
cost estimate from last years
$230,000 figure.
As long as health care cost
trends exceed personal in-
come growth and economic
growth, health care will still
be a growing burden for the
country as a whole and for in-
dividuals, said Sunit Patel, a
senior vice president for bene-
fits consulting at Fidelity, and
an actuary who helped calcu-
late the estimate.
However, this years 4 per-
cent rise is relatively modest.
Annual increases have aver-
aged 6 percent since Fidelity
made its initial $160,000 cal-
culation in 2002.
The study is based on pro-
jections for a 65-year-old cou-
ple retiring this year with
Medicare coverage. The esti-
mate factors in the federal pro-
grams premiums, co-pay-
ments and deductibles, as well
as out-of-pocket prescription
costs. The study assumes the
couple do not have insurance
from their former employers,
and a life expectancy of 85 for
women and 82 for men. The
estimate doesnt factor in
most dental services, or long-
term care, such as the cost of
living in a nursing home.

reflects the
typical pat-

increases.
LOS ANGELES A newly stream-
lined government plan to reward home-
owners who diligently pay their under-
water mortgages is proving a bonanza
for banks, which by one estimate may
pocket $12 billioninextra revenue by re-
financing loans.
The revisions to the Obama adminis-
trations 3-year-oldHome Affordable Re-
finance Program have yielded mixed re-
sults for homeowners, analysts and
mortgage professionals say.
Some responsible homeowners are
indeed getting lower-interest loans de-
spite owing far more than their homes
are worth. But others have loans that
dont qualify, or must jump through
hoops the plan was supposed to elimi-
nate, such as on-site appraisals and ex-
tensive paperwork.
Whats more, critics say, homeowners
who get new loans are being stuck with
higher rates than necessary, often half a
percentage point or more. Thats be-
cause banks are refinancing only their
own borrowers, instead of competing
against one another, which would drive
rates down.
The banks should charge lower than
the market interest rate because the
new version of the program means less
work and less risk for them. Instead,
they are charging more, said Amherst
Securities analyst Laurie Goodman,
who titled a recent report on the pro-
gram And the Winner Is ... the Largest
Banks.
The Home Affordable Refinance Pro-
gram is less controversial than relief
plans for delinquent borrowers. Few
have objected to its goal of helping
homeowners who pay their loans on
time but cant refinance at todays re-
cord low rates because their home val-
ues have plummeted.
To qualify, borrowers must owe more
than 80 percent of the current home val-
ue. They cant have missed a payment
for the past six months and are allowed
to have beenlate by 30 days only once in
the last year.
As this year began, nearly 1 million
loans had been replaced using the pro-
gram, but only1in10 hadbalances high-
er than 105 percent of the home value.
The changes, phased in during the first
quarter, aimto encourage refinances no
matter how far underwater the loan is.

This morning's
record low of 30
has survived for
at least another
year, but it sure
is cold out there
this morning.
Skies today will
remain sunny
allowing after-
noon tempera-
tures to recover
up into the 60s.
A few cumulus
clouds may dec-
orate the sky
and the breeze
will be gusty at
times. After
another cold
night tonight,
our Saturday is
looking very
sunny and 10
degrees warmer
than today.
Sunday looks
good as well. But
remember the
sunscreen. The
sun is now as
strong as it is on
Aug. 1.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: Wet weather will continue over Texas with showers and thunderstorms likely.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible over Colorado and New Mexico, with some high
elevation snow over Colorado. A few scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible along a
frontal boundary over the Upper Midwest.
