WILKES-BARRE – A county audit of bills submitted by an attorney who admitted to double billing the county showed the amount of overcharges was less than those found by an auditor the attorney hired to examine her bills, Luzerne County Controller Walter Griffith said Monday. Griffith said the county audit showed attorney Angela Stevens

Stevens. He said he believes the figures between the two audits are close enough that the county should accept the Forensic Resolutions findings and not hire its own forensic auditor, which would cost $22,000 to $46,500, based on proposals that were submitted. “I think our report is comparable enough to say we are comfortable with the Forensic Resolutions audit,” Griffith said. “To go out and spend another $40,000 wouldbeawasteoftaxpayermoney. If we find another $10,000, whatarewegoingtogainfromit?”

overcharged a total of $51,194 for the preparation and delivery of fee petitions, whereas the audit performed by Forensic Resolutions Inc. of New Jersey determined those overcharges were $55,049.

The Luzerne County prison system’s five-dog K-9 unit has shrunk with three layoffs, leaving the future of the special program up in the air. Budgetary cuts forced 61 layoffs in March, including 18 at the

county prison. Prison Warden Joe Piazza gave up three K-9 officers and other staffers because his 2012 budget was reduced from $28.6 million to $26.9 million. Nine-year-old canine Rocky retired and was sold to his furloughed K-9 sergeant for $1, Piazza said. The other two furloughed K-9 officers still work for the county because they exercised their union rights to bump into corrections officer positions held by

workers with less seniority, but their dogs -- 6-year-old Wyatt and Brutus -- remain off duty. Piazza does not know if Wyatt and Brutus will return to work. Handlers must keep the dogs at their homes. The prison covers their food, veterinary care and training in case one of the two remaining K-9 positions becomes vacant or funding allows K-9 positions to be restored, Piazza said.

For the first time since the state’s electricity rate caps expired in 2010, PPL Electric will raise its “price-tocompare” rates beginning June 1. But even with the 15 percent increase, the average PPL residential customer will still pay less this summer than last summer or at any point since Jan. 1, 2010. The new price-to-compare rate, which the Public Utility Commission did not object to, will be 7.993 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), up from 6.935 cents per kilowatt-hour currently. For the average residential customer using 1,000 kWh per month, the increase equates to about $10.50 each month. Prices have been kept down since the state’s rate caps expired in 2010, thanks largely to competition and the natural gas industry. “When natural gas rates are down, the price of electricity is down,” noted Irwin “Sonny” Popowsky, the state’s consumer advocate. Kurt Blumenau, a PPL spokesman, said “for the last year or so, the boom in natural gas has driven down the cost of wholesale energy.” But he said “power prices usually increase in the summer on the wholesale market. It’s a time of peak demand.” Even though the new price to compare, which is a combination of generation and transmission prices, is See PPL, Page 10A

Columbia County buyouts

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

ILKES-BARRE – If you saw it at all in the news last summer, you saw this: Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton soaked head to toe emerging from the Susquehanna River, smiling. Yes, the city-sponsored “dragon boat” had tipped 180 degrees, dumping 22 people into the drink. And yes, they would regroup and paddle again.

Why? It’s that much fun. The folks who brought dragon boat racing to Wilkes-Barre for last year’s RiverFest remain as undaunted as that sopping wet mayor. Not only will the boats return for more races during this year’s RiverFest, June 22-24, the crafts will get their own spotlight during a much larger dragon boat racing festival in September. Up to 30 teams using four boats will vie for bragging rights as Wyoming Valley’s dragon conquerors. The September race will fulfill a threeyear dream of Riverfront Parks Committee Executive Director John Maday, who said he saw the races elsewhere and

SCRANTON – Attorneys for Anthony Lupas have filed a motion seeking to have him examined to determine his competency to stand trial on charges he stole money from a client through a bogus investment scheme, according to court papers filed Monday. Attorneys Lupas William Ruzzo and Joseph Blazosek filed a document that states the U.S. Attorney’s Office has concurred with their motion seeking an examination and competency hearing for Lupas. Lupas, 77, of Plains Township, was indicted by a grand jury on May 1 on one count of mail fraud for allegedly stealing more than $246,000 from a client. At his arraignment on May 3, his attorneys indicated they had a report from a physician that led them to believe he does not have the ability to understand the charges against him. The motion seeking the examination was not available Monday. Ruzzo and Blazosek filed court documents on Friday, but they could not be viewed because they were filed under seal. Lupas was initially arrested in March based on a criminal complaint filed by federal prosecutors. The indictment charges him with stealing from one person, but attorneys representing numerous other people also allege they were victimized.

Rally focus on Obamacare By By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

AstheU.S.SupremeCourtdeliberates on whether the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional, residents throughout the region are prepared to make their feelings known publicly with a June 8 rally in Scranton. Mary Ann Haas, of West Scranton, would like to see the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act “thrown out and have them start from scratch.” She said it’s not a pro-life matter, though she supports that viewpoint, and it’s not a health care issue. “It’s not a Catholic issue; it’s not a contraceptive issue. It’s strictly if someone can force you to do something, then what’s the next step?” asked Haas. While there are pieces of the law that many support -- including covering pre-existing conditions and allowing children to stay on a parent’s insurance into their 20s -there is one part that has drawn ire from the religious and other who want government to stay out of the private sector. A mandate that all employers, even religious-based ones like hospitals and colleges, offer free contraceptives, surgical sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs through their health plans, regardless of religious or moral convictions, has caused consternation from the Catholic Church.

On Monday 43 Catholic groups, including the archdioceses of Washington, D.C., and New York, and Notre Dame and Catholic universities, filed suit challenging a federal mandate on contraception. The organizations say the administration’s contraceptive requirement would compel them to violate church teaching. “They’re being forced to provide services that contradict teachings of their faith,” Haas said of the law often referred to as “Obamacare.” So a nationwide rally is planned to allow those opposed to the mandate to be heard. The Scranton Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally will begin at noon on Courthouse Square along North Washington Avenue across from the William J. Nealon Federal Building. The June 8 Rally coincides with the 223rd anniversary of the day James Madison introduced the Bill of Rights to the First Congress, including what would become the First Amendment granting freedom of religion. “We’re standing up for the First Amendment and demanding that all our health care laws respect religious freedom,” Haas said. A rally was held in Scranton on March 23, which saw a few hundred people attend. Haas said she’s hoping the warmer weather and time proximity to the Supreme Court’s ruling, which is set to be made by the end of June, will draw a larger crows this time.

W-B CTC debates super By JANINE UNGVARSKY Times Leader Correspondent

PLAINS TWP. -- A motion to allow rotation of the superintendent of record at the Wilkes-Barre Career & Technical Center ended with no resolution after heated discussion Monday. Crestwood representative Gene Mancin’s motion would have rotated the duties of the superintendent of record responsibilities among the superintendents of the five sending schools in two-year terms. Board members said those duties have belonged exclusively to the superintendent of WilkesBarre Area, which sends the largest number of students to the school, for at least the last 40 years. Mancini said he thought the recently announced retirement of Wilkes-Barre Area Superintendent Jeffrey Namey offered a good opportunity to make the change. “This is not a shot at Dr. Namey or anyone else,” Mancini said. “This is just a chance to make the change going forward.”

Several members disagreed and tempers flared as the board first tried to table Mancini’s motion, but Wilkes-Barre Area representative Robert Corcoran’s motion to postpone ended locked in a 4-4 vote. Wilkes-Barre Area representative John Quinn said, “This is a major seismic move and you’re doing it without at least three people here who I know would go our way.” Mancini’s motion called for his proposal to go back to all five sending schools before becoming final, and he and several others who favored it worried delay would make it impossible to make the change for the start of the new school year. Wilkes-Barre Area representative Lynn Evans, who did not support tabling the motion, suggested the meet in July to alleviate the time crunch. Mancini withdrew his original motion. After the meeting, he said he would await further review and clarification on the by legal counsel before proceeding.

SCRANTON -- A joint release issued Monday afternoon by The University of Scranton and The Commonwealth Medical College announced the two schools have ended discussions pertaining to a possible affiliation. “After careful thought and thorough analysis assisted by national experts, we have decided to end affiliation discussions and commit ourselves to strengthening and expanding the various forms of collaboration that have marked our relationship since

TCMC was founded,” the two-paragraph release stated. “While disappointed in this outcome, we move forward with mutual respect, having reinforced our connection through this process.” The release was signed by Kevin P. Quinn, president of The University of Scranton, and Dr. Lois Margaret Nora, the dean and interim president of TCMC. The two schools have spent the past year in formal discussions about an affiliation that was spurred on, in part, by a notification the medical college received last summer

Luzerne County Council members are preparing to debate the pros and cons of keeping elected tax collectors. The new home rule charter is silent on tax collectors, leaving council with the option to stop using them to collect county taxes. Under the prior government system, a state legislation change was necessary to eliminate tax collectors in municipalities that weren’t home-rule or cities. County Council Chairman Jim Bobeck put the matter on tonight’s council agenda under the heading of future items that must be discussed. Initial debate is tentatively

Program is a non-profit focused on a cause close to the Carters’ hearts – restoring historic buildings in and improving their hometown of about 700 residents. Most recently, the Cooks raised money for a 3-by-6-foot stained-glass window made by local artisans Ben Kasmark and Malcolm Kosek of Kasmark & Marshall Inc. in Luzerne. Kasmark and Kosek deliver-

planned for the May 29 work session, the agenda says. Bobeck said council also may decide to continue using tax collectors and reduce their pay. Keeping collectors at the same pay is the third option, he said. The county’s 69 elected collectors receive $3.50 per county tax bill, including uncollected bills that must be processed as owed. The county will spend about $400,000 on tax collectors this year, according to the budget. Council must make a decision by the end of the year because tax collector seats would be on the 2013 election ballot, Bobeck said. Bobeck has said he would like to review what has been ed and installed the window with the presidential seal at the Plains Historic Inn and Antique Mall on Main Street in November. The Cooks in April 2011 hosted an auction in Plains Township to which the Carters donated several of their possessions and memorabilia. The Carters attended the auction along with a contingent from the Plains Better Hometown Program. The bus trip, Larry Cook said, “is just one idea that we had to get some people from our community to now visit

from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, which accredits MD-granting programs. The Scranton-based school was informed it would be put on probation because of financial difficulties. The school indicated it was considering an affiliation with another institution, such as a hospital or university. “While noting the potential advantages an affiliation could bring to both institutions, we recognized that complex questions and issues would need to be resolved to move forward,” the statement

began, “Our threshold for success in these discussions was to establish a model for affiliation that would strongly ensure the continued vitality and success of both institutions and our respective missions and aspirations.” The medical college, which opened in August 2009, announced layoffs last year citing financial problems stemming from the $4 million drop in expected state funding, the estimated $120 million cost of the school’s permanent building that opened last fall and a drop in donations.

done in other counties and how much money the county could save by collecting inhouse or through outside companies. “It will require extensive research. It’s important to at least put people on notice that this is coming up for discussion,” he said. Tax collectors campaigned against the home rule charter in 2010 because it didn’t re-

quire the county to retain them. The old government system allowed pay alterations the year before tax collector elections, but suggestions to lower the pay never gained traction among prior commissioner boards. Former county commissioner Todd Vonderheid had proposed lowering tax collectors’ pay before the 2005 tax collector election, but he couldn’t get a second vote after the collectors publicly objected. The collectors have emphasized they receive no benefits and provide valuable interaction with property owners who have questions and concerns.

She said some seats are still available. The Cooks don’t yet know the exact location of the barbeque, but they do know it will be on a farm in Plains. Bus trip attendees also will tour the former high school attended by President and Mrs.

Carter, which is now the Plains Museum. They will also attend a National Park Service tour of the boyhood home of President Carter, Diane Cook said. “History is just everywhere you look in that little town,” Larry Cook said. In addition to the barbeque and tours, Larry Cook said attendees “will be able to attend church services where President and Mrs. Carter attend church and they’ll be able to hear President Carter give one of his famous Sunday school lessons at the church, which is a very nice experience.”

The Luzerne County Council will hold a public meeting at 6:30 tonight in the county’s Emergency Management Agency building, 185 Water St., Wilkes-Barre. The agenda is posted on the council section of the county website at www.luzernecounty.org.

Roman Polanski returned to the festival, where he presented a short film sponsored by Prada titled ‘A Therapy.’ It stars Ben Kingsley and Helena Bonham Carter.

HARRISBURG — The June child sexabuse trial of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky will not be delayed, a judge ruled Monday. The one-sentence order by Judge John Cleland did not explain his reasons, but it means the case will very likely begin with jury selection inside a central Pennsylvania courthouse in barely two weeks. Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola had asked for the delay on May 9, arguing

that he needed more time to find and interview witnesses, and that pending criminal charges against two Penn State administrators made them unavailable as witnessSandusky es. He said without the delay, he was concerned he would not be able to represent Sandusky effectively and adequately. Sandusky, 68, faces 52 criminal counts for alleged abuse of 10 boys over 15 years, allegations he has repeatedly denied. Jury selection is scheduled to begin June 5, with jurors chosen from the State College area, where Sandusky lives.

Cleland also issued a second order that requires defense lawyers to provide prosecutors any expert reports they plan to use as part of their case by May 30. The Attorney General’s Office also will get copies of any reports of physical or mental examinations and scientific testing results by May 30. If the defense has experts they plan to call to testify that have not prepared a report, the defense lawyers must tell prosecutors the expert’s subject matter, his or her opinion and the basis for that opinion, Cleland said. Sandusky lawyer Karl Rominger declined to comment on the two orders, citing a gag order Cleland has imposed. A spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office also declined to comment.

Guard dead in prison riot

s many as 300 inmates, some of them armed with makeshift weapA ons such as broomsticks, rioted at a

privately run prison for illegal immigrants, beating a guard to death and injuring 19 people, a sheriff said Monday. More than two dozen officers were held hostage at some point during the hours-long spate of violence Sunday, including a group of 15 who had to be rescued by special response teams, Adams County Sheriff Chuck Mayfield said. A gang fight set off the violence, the sheriff said. The guard was killed on the roof of one of the prison buildings.

Syria’s war barreled over the border with an angry, raucous funeral Monday for an anti-Syrian cleric whose killing set off a night of deadly street battles in Beirut and raised fears that Lebanon is getting drawn into the chaos afflicting its neighbor. The violence is a reflection of Lebanon’s political dysfunction, a legacy of years of civil war when the country became a proxy battleground for other nations. Lebanon walks a fragile fault line over Syria, which had troops on the ground here for nearly 30 years until 2005 and still has strong ties to Lebanon’s security services. To many observers, it was only a matter of time before the violence in Syria infected Lebanon. The U.N. estimates the Syrian conflict has killed more than 9,000 people since March 2011, when President Bashar Assad started cracking down on a popular uprising. “The Syrian regime is seeking to sow chaos in Lebanon!” Khaled Daher, a Sunni member of parliament, said during a fiery speech Monday at the funeral for Sheik Ahmed Abdul-Wahid, the slain anti-Syrian cleric. “But we will not be scared.” BUFFALO, N.Y.

Man survives Niagara fall

Authorities say a man plunged at least 180 feet over Niagara Falls and survived — only the third person known to have gone over without a safety device and lived. Niagara Parks Police say witnesses reported seeing the man climb over a railing at 10:20 a.m. Monday some distance above Horseshoe Falls “and deliberately jump.” He surfaced near an observation platform on the Niagara River. The man, believed to be in his early 40s, was rescued about two hours later and taken to a hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries. Police did not identify him. The last person to go over the Falls and survive was a 30-year-old Canadian man in March 2009. In October 2003, Kirk Jones of Michigan survived. DANA POINT, CALIF

Former Rutgers student gets 30 days in jail Man who spied on gay roommate who then killed himself gets just a fraction of maximum sentence. By GEOFF MULVIHILL Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Private rocket maker SpaceX aimed for a liftoff today after fixing the engine problem that caused a launch abort over the weekend, stalling the world’s first commercial space station supply flight. Forecasters put the odds of good weather at 80 percent for the test flight. Launch time was 3:44 a.m. with a split-second window. The California-based Space Exploration Technologies Corp., better known as SpaceX, is the first private business to attempt to launch a vessel to the International Space Station. The Dragon capsule atop the Falcon 9 rocket is filled with 1,000 pounds of food and other provisions. All nine of the Falcon’s engines ignited during the first launch attempt Saturday. But with just a half-second remaining before liftoff, on-board computers shut everything down because of high pressure in the combustion chamber of engine No. 5. The problem was traced to a faulty valve. Engineers put in a new valve and declared the rocket ready to fly. SpaceX is run by billionaire Elon Musk, the co-founder of PayPal. His company is in the lead of the NASAsponsored competition to hand over space station cargo runs — and eventually astronaut ferry trips — to private business. Musk said his Dragon capsules could be carrying astronauts to orbit in about four years. Until a private spacecraft is ready to fly, NASA astronauts will continue to ride Russian rockets to the space station. The switch from government to commercial spaceflights is the cornerstone of President Barack Obama’s exploration plan. The administration wants NASA spending its limited resources on missions beyond low-Earth orbit. If launched Tuesday, the Dragon will reach the space station Thursday and undergo a series of practice maneuvers from more than a mile out. Then on Friday, the capsule will fly within reach of the station’s 58-foot robot arm, which will snare it and berth it to the orbiting lab. The arm will be operated by two of the six space station residents: American Donald Pettit and Andre Kuipers, who is Dutch. “Ready to monitor the approaching Dragon spacecraft in bright sunlight and complete darkness,” Kuipers said via Twitter on Monday. He posted a picture of the two crewmen awaiting the capsule. “Sunglasses, headlamp, reading glasses. Now for the launch.”

Man charged with stealing $19,000 in press plates

Cops say Eric Redick Jr., took the aluminum plates from The Times Leader printing facility. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A city man was charged with stealing more than $19,000 in aluminum press plates from The Times Leader. City police allege Eric Redick Jr., 49, of Sheridan Street, was recorded on surveillance cameras removing plates from the newspaper’s printing facility on East Market Street and placing the

items in his vehicle early Sunday morning. Police said Redick, an employee of ILO Inc., a cleaning company, was Redick using a cleaning cart to remove the press plates from the facility and take them to his vehicle, according to charges filed. An audit revealed 230 boxes of press plates with a value of $19,090 were missing. Redick allegedly admitted to police he stole the press plates

over several months and then sold them to scrap yards. He was arraigned by District Judge Diana Malast in Plains Township on two felony counts of theft and receiving stolen property. He was released on $20,000 unsecured bail. Vito Aiello, owner of ILO Inc., said Redick was immediately terminated from the cleaning company. Redick also is employed by Wilkes-Barre City’s Public Works Department. “Eric Redick is an employee of the City of Wilkes-Barre. Mr. Redick’s conduct will be ad-

dressed by the Human Resources office which is standard procedure. Pending the outcome of the legal and administrative process, the city will have no further comment on personnel matters at this time,” stated city spokesperson Drew McLaughlin in an email. Redick declined comment when he was contacted Monday afternoon. According to the criminal complaint: Brian Dudick, The Times Leader’s director of IT, and Jeffrey Tinner, production director, told police aluminum press

plates have been missing for several months. The plates are 30 inches long by 18 inches wide and are used to print the newspaper. Surveillance cameras allegedly recorded Redick early Sunday morning placing several boxes of aluminum plates on a cleaning cart and transporting the boxes to his vehicle. Police said 23 boxes were found in Redick’s vehicle after he was confronted. Each box contains 60 plates and is valued at $85. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on May 29 in Wilkes-Barre Central Court.

Walter was raised in Swoyersville and had resided there for 86 years. Three years ago, Walter moved to Mountain Top to reside with his daughter, Barbara. A U.S. Army veteran, Walter honorably served his country during World War II with Company G of the 311th Infantry Regiment. Throughout the war, Walter was stationed in the Rhineland, the Ardennes and Central Europe. On March 19, 1945, Walter was wounded in action in Germany, and was decorated with the Purple Heart. He was also decorated with the Bronze Star Medal, the American Theater Ribbon, the EuropeanAfrican-Middle Eastern Ribbon with five bronze stars, the Combat Infantry Badge and the Good Conduct Medal. Upon his honorable discharge on January 26, 1946, Walter had attained the rank of Private First Class. Prior to his retirement, Walter was employed for 32 years as a mechanic by the former Duplan Silk Mill, Kingston. Following his retirement, he worked as a private upholsterer. A man of great faith, Walter was a lifelong member of Saint Mary of Czestochowa Church (Holy Name/ Saint Mary’s Parish Community), of Swoyersville. Active within his parish, Walter was a member of the former Holy Name Society of Saint Mary of Czestochowa Church. Additionally, he was actively involved with his parish’s annual bazaar and was always willing to help with the various functions going on at his church. Upon moving to Mountain Top, Walter attended Saint Jude Church with his daughter, Barbara. Walter was a member of the Knights of Columbus, Assumpta Council 3987, Luzerne. He was a 4th degree member of the Our Lady of Czestochowa, Assembly 1928, Luzerne. A proud veteran, Walter was a member of the American Legion, Andrew Lawrence Post 644, Swoyersville; the Catholic War Vet-

erans Post 1601, Swoyersville; the Veteran of Foreign Wars, Post 6518, Exeter; the 78th Division Veterans Association, Pittsburgh, and the Disabled American Veterans. Walter was a selfless, giving person who always put others before himself. It was nothing for him to drop whatever he was doing to help someone who was in need. Family was the center of Walter’s life and he cherished each moment he had with his loved ones. He will forever be remembered as a loving and dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved him. In addition to his parents, Peter and Frances Stanishefski, and his wife, Helen, Walter was preceded in death by his brothers, Felix, Stanley and Chester Stanishefski; and his sister, Tessie Lecosky. Walter is survived by his daughter, Barbara Stanishefski, with whom he resided; his son, Myron Stanishefski, and his wife, Vicki, of Shavertown; his grandchildren, Nicholas, Christine and John Stanishefski, all of Shavertown; his sisters, Helen Saran, of Sandy Hook, Conn.; Eleanor Wojnarski, of Swoyersville; Frances Kepich, of Exeter; several generations of nieces and nephews. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend the funeral which will be conducted on Thursday at 10:30 a.m. from the Wroblewski Funeral Home Inc., 1442 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated at 11 a.m. in Saint Mary of Czestochowa Church (Holy Name/Saint Mary’s Parish Community), 283 Shoemaker St., Swoyersville, with the Rev.

war— but still loaded with troubles. The war that began in the weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks will finish at the end of 2014. “I don’t think there’s ever going to be an optimal point where we say, ‘This is all done. This is perfect. This is just the way we wanted it,’ ” Obama said as the NATO summit closed. “This is a process, and it’s sometimes a messy process.” Obama never spoke of victory. Afghan forces for the first time will take over the lead of the combat mission by the middle of 2013. Even in a backup role, U.S. forces and all the rest will face surprise attacks and bombings until the war’s end. The nations also promised a lasting partnership with Afghanistan, meaning many years of contributing tax dollars, personnel and political capital after the end of their soldiers’ combat. The United States has already cut its own deal with Afghanistan along those lines, including a provision that allows U.S. military trainers and special forces to remain after the war closes.

OTHER OPINION: DRUG USE

Pot smoking risks not to be ignored

OR DECADES educators, health authorities and others have warned about the dangers of using illegal drugs, but a recent study indicated the message is not getting through to an alarming number of teenagers. The Partnership at Drugfree.org found that more than one in four high school students – 27 percent – used marijuana at least once in the month before its survey was taken. It involved students in grades nine through 12. A 2008 version of the survey found 19 percent of respondents had used pot in the previous month, so the number is going up. A recent University of Michigan study came up with similar findings that marijuana use is on the rise among teenagers. It has been the recreational EDITORIAL BOARD

drug of choice for many young people for a long time. And that might be part of the problem. According to Partnership President Steve Pasierb, some parents don’t take marijuana smoking very seriously, figuring it’s better for their kids to smoke pot than to try harder drugs. Using pot impairs the ability to think clearly, and many questions remain about the 400 chemicals in marijuana. Even proponents of marijuana legalization acknowledge minors should not be using the drug. Since it’s clear many teenagers choose to ignore attempts to educate them about the dangers, it is up to the adults in their lives to reinforce the message and not tolerate use of illegal drugs and abuse of legal substances.

Don’t allow socialists to plan nation’s future

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

Voters should get ready for next bubble to burst

t is pathetic that with hundreds of millions of potential candidates in this country, the voters will have to choose between Tweedledee and Tweedledum for president this November. Witness both stooges fawning for the student vote via rejection of student loan interest-rate increases. Never mind that these fools continue to stretch the skin of the education bubble ever closer to its bursting point. Student loan debt now exceeds credit card debt in this country. Government subsidies to colleges have allowed them to expand into vast decadent cities. Professors are able to be paid two to three times what they are really worth, only to spew forth socialist propaganda to perpetuate a failed system. Ten years ago the government determined that every citizen was entitled to own a home regardless of income or ability to pay. We all know how that ended. Fast forward to today and everyone is entitled to a college education, regardless of academic abilities or ability to pay. The sheep are lined up to receive a worthless liberal arts degree, resulting in no job and living at home, and a mountain of student loan debt upon graduation. Most would be better off to stay at home, work a minimum-wage job and put any savings into gold. They would come out tens of thousands of dollars ahead and have some real-life experience behind them. Other bubbles floating about the roomful of nails include a bond bubble brought to you courtesy of the Federal Reserve through its manipulative interest rate policies and money printing. The result is a housing market still being propped up even after a 30 percent decline in prices. The dollar also is in danger of collapse as foreigners abandon the dollar in their reserves and steer clear of buying any more of our debt. Closing in on 50 million participants, the food stamp bubble is the most dangerous. That’s 50 million unfortunates taking for granted that government’s cornucopia always will overflow. Empty bellies have been the cause of many a revolution. Look only as far back as last year’s Arab Spring.

DOONESBURY

Only when this bubble bursts will the stupids forsake their vote on “Idol” and arise from their couches and take to the streets. A 20 percent turnout in the recent primary election tells me so. As in all past burst bubbles, no one in government will have seen this coming. Newspaper columnist H.L. Mencken once said that democracy is the worship of jackals by jackasses and that common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard. I somewhat disagree, because I think most people are oblivious to their surroundings; but we do deserve what we are about to get, and get it we will. Tim Mullen Kingston Township

Reader says council put politics ahead of safety

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

more than a penny higher per kWh than the past quarter, he said it’s still lower than last summer’s rate of 8.774 cents per kWh and nearly 2 ½ cents lower than the rate in effect in the summer of 2010. Then it was 10.44 cents per kWh. He noted that “for the past two quarters, we’ve had a particularly low price to compare,” which makes the increase seem much more dramatic than it is. PPL filed the rate hike with the PUC last Friday and it will remain in effect for three months, expiring Sept. 30. Jennifer Kocher, the PUC press secretary, said the commission “reviewed the request and found it to be within the guidelines established by the company’s previous filings with the commission.” Popowsky said that while the quarter-to-quarter volatility could create large hikes and decreases in electricity rates, “I think we’re still in very good position.” When the state let rate caps expire for PPL customers at the end of 2009, rates were raised 30 percent but they had been coming down each quarter until SHOP now.

For small-commercial customers, the new price to compare will be 9.154 cents per kWh, compared with 6.387 cents per kWh currently, a 43 percent increase. The increase in PPL Electric Utilities’ price to compare means customers may be able to save on costs by comparing the new price to compare-with offers from alternative suppliers.

Costs associated with canines aren’t in a separate budget category for easy tracking, and Piazza said he’d need time to tally the expenses. The warden supports keeping Wyatt and Brutus and covering their care and training, at least for now, because new German shepherds would have to be purchased and trained from scratch if needed. “The question will be whether we bring the two young ones back to work, and, if not, what we do with them,” Piazza said. “We have to see if it’s economically feasible and worthwhile to bring them back.” Loky, 9, and Miki, 8, are the only working prison canines at this time.

State police allege Huff wrote checks on a closed checking account from Dec. 30, 2009, to Jan. 5, 2010, at Murphy Lumber Co., Dennison Township; Shelly’s Lumber, Foster Township; and Conyngham Builders, Sugarloaf Township, in the amount of $6,960. Huff operated a business named AK Construction and purchased large amounts of copper with the bad checks, state police allege. State police learned in April 2010 Huff had fled the area. He was arrested on a fugitive from justice charge in Marshal County, Tenn., in October. Court records indicate Huff was wanted on an escape charge when he failed to return to the county prison while on the work release program in August 2009. Huff was also wanted for failure to appear at a court proceeding on charges he wrote four bad checks on Dec. 16 and Dec. 17, 2009, in the amount of $4,426 to Eastern PA Supply Co. in Wilkes-Barre, according to court records.

controller’s office for a print out of invoices to support the 1099. “I come up with a different amount and the difference is pretty big,” Stevens said in the email, a copy of which was included as an exhibit in a forensic audit conducted by Forensic Resolutions Inc. A Times Leader reporter had begun investigating Stevens’ bills right around that time after discovering she had been paid more than $144,000 by the county for representing parents whose children were in the custody of Children and Youth.

STEVENS Continued from Page 1A

Stevens, of Kingston, hired Forensic Resolutions to review her bills shortly after a Times Leader investigation in February revealed she had overcharged the county for representing parents whose children were in the custody of Children and Youth Services. The newspaper’s review showed Stevens repeatedly charged travel time for each fee petitionshedeliveredtothecounty courthouse, even though the petitions were delivered at the same time. Stevens also charged for excessive hours, including instances in which she billed for more than 24 hours in a single day. Stevens admitted she made

tracking, contraband detection and other security matters. Loky also is certified to apprehend inmates. Loky and Miki are nearing the end of their service time because K-9s typically retire by

age 10, the warden said. County officials started the prison K-9 program in March 2005 to enhance drug detection and prevent disturbances. Rocky, Loky and Miki were purchased for $25,500 each in

2004. Impressed with the results, the county spent $20,000 in 2008 on the two younger dogs to expand shift coverage. Few county prisons have K-9 units in Pennsylvania, Piazza said. He applauds the work performed by the dogs, but said the staffing of guards must take priority. K-9 officers are limited in their ability to concentrate on inmates because they also are responsible for their dogs, he said. “Your best line of defense is always the human factor,” Piazza said. “The canines are tools, but the best type of security comes from actual people.” A potential challenge over pay for K-9 officers also may impact the future of the program. Piazza said he was recently informed by union officials about a Fair Labor Standards Act requirement to provide additional compensation to K-9 of-

That was far more than any of the 17 other attorneys who were contracted by the county. The investigation, the results of which were first reported in the newspaper on Feb. 24, showed Stevens had repeatedly double billed the county for preparing and delivering fee petitions to the county courthouse. The Forensic Resolutions audit, which was paid for by Stevens, determined she had overcharged the county $59,042. County Controller Walter Griffith on Monday said a separate county audit pegged the overcharges at $51,194. Raspanti said he believes the email and audits support Stevens’ claims that the errors

were an honest mistake. Raspanti said Stevens believed the figure on the 1099 was too high and, because of that, held off on cashing two checks the county had issued. She began investigating, but did not have the chance to complete her inquiry before The Times Leader story appeared. The fact Stevens held off on cashing the checks “is indicative of honest dealing,” Raspanti said. “Unfortunately, before the time you surfaced, she didn’t have a chance to reconcile the invoices,” Raspanti said. “Right after you started doing your reporting, it was too late to get all that done.” Stevens canceled an inter-

view with a reporter two days before the first story ran. She instead sent an email on Feb. 23 acknowledging there were billing errors. She noted she had previously caught an overpayment of roughly $5,800 made to her, but never mentioned the Feb. 12 email or that she had begun investigating herself. The Forensic Solutions audit blamed part of the billing errors on the way in which bills were processed in Stevens’ office. Stevens signed verifications attesting to the accuracy of the bills before she submitted them to the court. Asked why Stevens didn’t catch the errors then, Raspanti said he believes it was because Stevens, who

handled 111 cases from June 2010 to February 2012, was overburdened. “She put the bulk of her time and energy into representing her clients, which is a good thing. Some of the paperwork was not as careful as it could have been,” he said. “Because she was taking care of her clients needs, she made some honest mistakes.” Raspanti said Stevens wishes the mistakes did not happen. He said she deserves credit for taking responsibility immediately addressing the issue by hiring an auditor. “She told the county what she was going to do, and he honored her commitment to the county,” he said.

billing errors, but maintained they were an honest mistake. Her attorney, Mark Raspanti of Philadelphia, said he believes the two audits vindicate his client. “The county has advised me that our numbers and our audit were more generous to the county than their own audit,” Raspanti said. “She retained a top-flight auditor and paid about $40,000 for an audit. We gave the county back more money than it feels it is entitled to. I don’t know what more Miss Stevens can do to make this right.” Griffith said the county audit revealed Stevens charged a total of $45,870 for travel time to the courthouse and other county offices.Ofthatamount,$15,130was legitimate,foratotalof$30,740in overcharges. The county audit also disallowed $20,454 for overcharge related to the preparation of the fee petitions, for a total of

$51,194. TheForensicResolutionsaudit pegged the overcharges for bill preparation and delivery at $55,049. It also found overchargesforcasework,suchasattending hearings and meeting with clients, totaling $3,993, for total over charges of $59,042. Stevens has already repaid that money through credits she was due for checks she never cashed and for work she performed for whichshehadnotbilledthecounty, according to the Forensic Resolutions audit. She was actually owed about $20,000 by the county, but is not seeking payment. Griffith said the county’s audit, which was performed by auditor Marty Moughan, also looked at excessive hours for which Stevens billed. Moughan said Monday he believes those hours were accounted for by the Forensic Resolutions

audit, which said other persons in Stevens’officeperformedsomeof the work, but the hours were billed under Stevens’ name. He noted Stevens also charged by .10 increments – a standard legal practice – for all work, such as making a phone call, even if the call lasted a few seconds. “You can bill more than eight hours in a day when you have a minimum,” Moughan said. “If you charge .10 hours, if you make 15 calls in an hour, you are charging for more than one hour.” Griffith said his audit was limited to looking at billing issues because Moughan did not have access to case files, which are confidential. Griffith suggested the court system look at that issue more closely. Deputy Court Administrator Michael Shucosky said the court did not conduct a forensic audit, but he did review a “fair sam-

pling” of Stevens’ cases. He also spoke to judges and attorneys who appeared in court with her and found no major issues to warrant a more thorough inquiry. “We found no evidence that Miss Stevens did not appear in court when she said she appeared; no evidence that she failed to file pleadings and no evidence that she did not adequately represent clients in court,” he said. Stevens still faces a review by the Disciplinary Board of the State Supreme Court, which investigates wrongdoing by attorneys, and a possible criminal probe. Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said she is awaiting the opinion of an expert she asked to review the Forensic Resolutions audit before determining if she will launch a criminal investigation.

the money can become substantial. An annual event in Philadelphia draws close to 100 teams, Maday noted, while about half-adozen years of racing in Burlington, Vt., “has raised approximately $1 million.”

the kid-friendly Chalkfest and concerts on the River Common. The committee has also taken care of one hang-up last year – a lack of good floating docks – by getting students at Wilkes-Barre Area Career and Technical Center to build four docks, each 16feet long, using lumber provided at a discount by Lowe’s. Flotation devices buoyant enough to hold all the people boarding the boats – they sit in pairs side by side, with one person in front serving as drummer – were ordered and are expected soon, Cotrone said. While the tipping of the city boat grabbed headlines last year,

no one was hurt and most who fell into the drink laughed as they stepped onto dry land. Still, Cotrone said, the committee is planning more training to make sure everyone knows safety protocols. Maday is convinced dragon boat racing will become a popular event on the Susquehanna, simply because it is “unique” as a fundraiser. You may have a good time or good food at, say, a charity banquet or other common events, but “how many fundraisers do you really remember?” Maday asked. “This is one you will never forget.”

Case law has established handlers should receive an additional 30 minutes per day, seven days a week, for at-home care, including bathing, exercising, grooming and feeding the canines. Handlers across the county have received back-pay settlements for at-home care in jurisdictions that didn’t comply with the requirement, according to published reports. Prison union representative Tom Boram said the union is discussing the matter but has not made a decision on filing a challenge seeking past compensation. Boram said the dogs would be missed. “I definitely believe the canines are a valuable asset we’d hate to lose, but our staff always rises to the challenges of any issue,” he said.

Kaylee Hillard (9) of Lake-Lehman kicks the ball away from Hannah Coffin (4) of Crestwood during Monday’s match.

Shutout shuts door on past for Lake-Lehman By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

WRIGHT TWP. – Based on recent history, Lake-Lehman’s one-goal lead at halftime against Crestwood on Monday was fragile at best. Even when the advantage bumped to two goals and then three, there were no guarantees against an opponent that scored six against the Black Knights on April 10. History, though, faded as Lehman made every lead stand on the way to a 3-0

victory over the Comets in a District 2 girls soccer quarterfinal game. Lehman (11-3) will attempt to make the district finals for the first time since 1998 when the Black Knights play Dallas (12-2) at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Wilkes University. Dallas advanced to the semifinals with a 7-2 victory over Pittston Area. “I think we’re going to be more prepared this time,” said Lehman senior Nikki Sutliff, whose team lost 6-1to Dallas on April 18. “We’re just a different team now. We definitely got better as the season

went on.” Crestwood ended its season at 8-6. Lehman had a 5-2 lead against Crestwood midway through the second half during the regular-season matchup. The Comets, though, rallied and won 6-5 in overtime. “We’ve gained so much experience with each game and we’re playing so much better as a team,” Lehman coach Kelly Adamshick said. “Denae (Sutliff) See LEHMAN, Page 3B

Cole Garner’s homer triggers six-run second, then SWB hangs on against Columbus.

COLUMBUS, OHIO – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees scored seven runs early against Columbus then held on for a 9-6 victory over the Clippers at Huntington Park. The Yankees jumped out to a 7-1 lead after a six-run top of the second. In the inning, Cole Garner got things started with a solo home run off Clippers’ starter Corey Kluber. That gave SWB a 2-1 lead. But the Yankees were YANKEES just getting started. Steve Pearce laced a run-scoring sinCLIPPERS gle with the bases loaded for a 3-1 lead. Jack Cust and Brandon Laird then registered bases loaded walks for a 5-1 lead. Francisco Cervelli capped the scoring in the inning with a tworun single and a 7-1 advantage. The Clippers weren’t going to go down without a fight. With SWB starter D.J. Mitchell (4-1) cruising through the first four innings, Columbus got to the righty in the fifth, scoring five times. A Chad Huffman single followed by a two-run double from Lonnie Chisenhall cut the Yankees lead to 7-4. Jared Goedert plated two more in the frame with a single for a 7-6 Yankees lead. Mitchell was lifted after the inning after allowing eight hits, but still earned the win. Steve Pearce’s ninth home run of the season, a solo shot in the eighth, gave Scranton/WilkesBarre a little breathing room. Garner blasted his second homer of the night in the top of the ninth for a 9-6 lead to give closer Kevin Whelan a bigger cushion. Whelan struck out two and walked one in the bottom of the ninth to nail down the victory as the Yankees climbed three games over .500 and remain in fourth place in the International League North Division, 3½ games behind division-leading Pawtucket.

BOSTON — They started as a Big Three and grew to a Big Four when Rajon Rondo earned the right to be mentioned along with the other Boston Celtics All-Stars. At no point, however, did Brandon Bass merit marquee billing in his first season in Boston. The fifth, newest and least-heralded member of the Celtics’ starting lineup, Bass erupted for a career playoff-high 27 points on Monday night, scoring 18 in the third quarter as Boston pulled away from the Philadelphia 76ers to win 101-85 and take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. ASSOCIATED PRESS “We’ve got a few good players on the team that they had to focus on,” said Bass, who left Boston Celtics’ Ray Allen (20) drives past See BASS, Page 4B

Philadelphia 76ers’ Andre Iguodala (9) and over 76ers Thaddeus Young on Monday.

n the middle of his testimony before the state’s governing high school body a few years back, Ted Jackson was cut short in mid-sentence. “You don’t seem like a coach who takes a lot of crap,” a PIAA board member pointed out. “No sir,” Jackson agreed. He’d be the perfect guy to give Holy Redeemer a fresh start. Holy smokes! Ears would burn at the Wilkes-Barre Catholic School if Jackson got the Royals’ football coaching position and then got on one of his infamous, expletive-filled rants. There’s no indication he’s even remotely interested in the position. But Jackson needs a job and Redeemer needs a coach. And the unlikely pairing just might make a perfect fit. Jackson’s far from flawless, and even his supporters concede he was no saint during his days as head coach of Dallas High School. His detractors paint a picture of him as some kind of demon who never got past the locker room mentality of his age-old playing days. They’ll point to his laundry list of imperfections. Under his watch at Dallas, the Mountaineers engaged in a bench-clearing brawl that put the program on probation and they relieved themselves on an opposing team’s tennis courts, which got Jackson suspended. That was just in the last five years.

A successful coach Most of Jackson’s 27 years at Dallas were spent storming the sidelines, swearing to the high heavens. Rather than keep covering their ears, this year’s school board members at Dallas decided to can the sometimes-controversial coach a couple months ago. But just think, if Jackson starts shouting “Jesus!” at Holy Redeemer, people might think he’s just praying. And the Royals should be on their knees asking for this caliber of a coach, who not only carries star quality but a spectacular success rate. Jackson’s lifetime record stands at 227-79-3, an incredible winning percentage of .734. He’s endured one losing season – one! – in 27 years, which is part of the reason why Dallas football supporters are holding an appreciation dinner and reunion for Jackson and his former players this Sunday. His 1993 team won a Class 2A state championship – one of two Wyoming Valley Conference teams ever to accomplish that feat – and his Dallas teams were conference champs for what seemed like just about every year. You’d have to go back nearly a decade, to the days of Dwayne Downing’s 9-1 season in 2004 – when the school was known as Bishop Hoban prior to the Catholic school merger into Holy Redeemer – to find much hint of football success at that place. If the 60-year-old Jackson didn’t win there, they couldn’t crucify him at a school starving for football success. The Royals are just 7-43 since the merger. If they attain success, they may promote him to pope. The last coach, Joe Ostrowski, left in shame after taking the Royals to an 0-10 record in his only season before being charged with production of child pornography last week. So Redeemer received permission from the diocese to open its head coaching position in a search that will last for the next week or so, and opened a door for Jackson. He may not want to enter it. But the veteran coach has done this before. Jackson took over a pretty bad team when he arrived at Dallas, and rebuilt that program into a perennial power. This time, he has the chance to rebuild a reputation. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist. You may reach him at 970-7109 or email him at psokoloski@timesleader.com.

on the first day of the tournament. But because four teams from the WVC were lost this season, teams from the northern division had a better winning percentage thus setting up the vicious bracket. In the previous four seasons, two WVC squads battled for the district title and the third-place team has also come from the conference. “If we won (Monday) we’d have to face Redeemer (today) so it was like the slaughter house on this side of the bracket,” Crestwood coach Mike Williams said. “I feel like if we were on the other side of the bracket, we’d have at least a chancetogoandplayforthechampionship.” The semifinals will be held today starting at 5 p.m. at Holy Redeemer. The first semi will pit Western Wayne versus Lackawanna Trail and 30 minutes after that ends, Holy Redeemer will face North Pocono. The semifinal winners will play 7 p.m. Thursday for the district title at Scranton High School. The third-place match will be held at 5 p.m. the same day and location. The top three teams advancetothefirstroundofthePIAA Championships on May 29. The WVC semifinal was setup because the Trojans got past the Comets in four games, 25-22, 2225, 25-19, 25-16 and the Royals ousted Lake-Lehman 25-14, 25-18, 25-17. Much like the last time North Pocono and Crestwood met just five days ago, the teams were very even. Crestwood had a lead in three of the four games before the Trojans eventually pulled out their three victories. The Comets were leading 17-16 in the first stanza before NP went on a late run for the win. In Game 2, the only time Crestwood didn’t lead was when Pocono was up 3-2 as the Comets

has more confidence in goal and is willing to come out. In the beginning of the season, she was afraid to come out, and for a freshman that’s common.” One constant from the last meeting was Shoshana Mahoney. The Lehman sophomore scored three times, just like the last time. One difference was Lehman’s defensive play. Nikki Sutliff, a standout at midfield, moved to sweeper recently due to an injury in the fullback line. She, stopper Katie Heindel and outside backs Tori Frederick and Karen Yamerick were able to hand Crestwood its third shutout loss of the season. But as was the case for all Crestwood opponents this year, there were anxious moments for the fullbacks and Denae Sutliff, Nikki’s sister. The two biggest came with Lehman leading 2-0. Morgan Kile created the first one. The Crestwood sophomore worked the right side, with some teammates on her left. The defense anticipated a pass, but instead Kile broke past several defenders and ripped a liner that narrowly missed as it smashed the crossbar. A few minutes later, Kile passed to Gabby Termini, but the Comets’ leading scorer had her liner snagged by Denae Sutliff on her left hip. “A load of opportunities,” Crestwood coach Russ Kile said. “Just couldn’t get the ball in the net.”

six service points and four digs. Nick Banos dished out 28 assists to go with four kills and five digs, and Josh Lewis had eight kills and eight points. The Trojans got strong performances from Ryan Rinaldi (38 assists, 12 points, 5 digs, 4 kills, 3 aces), Eric Kramer (10 digs, 9 points, 1 ace) and Jordan Alexander (11 kills, 4 blocks). “Good coaching in the league to have to deal with powerhouses like this,” added Williams, who led histeamtoa10-2record.“Butwe’ll get better.” Holy Redeemer continued to be dominant this season against its foes from the conference. Despite some sloppy plays, they allowed the Black Knights to hold just five leads throughout the entire match. Rob Wingert and Jeremy

evened the match at 1-1. The Trojans never gave up the lead to Crestwood in Game 3 and only three ties were had before the 25-19 victory. “I was scared. That’s a good team,” Trojans coach Jud Holdredge said. “I was nervous all day. A couple points go a different way they could’ve won it. It’s too bad they can’t go on the way the pools are set up.” The Comets were holding an 8-5 lead in the fourth game and looked to be heading towards forcing a decisive fifth game. But a few bounces went the other way and a few miscues allowed the Trojans to break the game open leading 2110 at one point. A late run by Crestwood wasn’t enough.

BRITISH OPEN

Putting a little English on qualifying The Associated Press

PLANO, Texas — PGA Tour rookie Harris English shot a course best and International Finals America qualifying record 60 and easily qualified for the British Open on Monday. English shot a 63 in the afternoon in the par 70 Queens Course at Gleneagles Country Club, just outside of Dallas, for a 123 total, to snag one of the eight available spots for the Open from July 19-22 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes in England.

The 60 was the lowest 18hole qualifying score since the R&A began holding qualifying in the United States in 2004. Records were incomplete if it was the lowest 18-hole score ever shot in British Open qualifying. “It was a very relaxing round,” English said. I just lost track on what I was doing,” said English, whose best PGA Tour finish was a tie for 16th in Mayakoba, Mexico, earlier in the year. “It’s pretty amazing.”

COLLEGE SPORTS

Austin has the right stuff for Towson; Geffert proves to be ironman The Towson University baseball team is headed to the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament and Tyler Austin is a big reason why. Austin (Tunkhannock) is one of the top relief pitchers in the CAA and is having a record-setting season with the Tigers. The 6-foot, 175-pound right-hander, has a 2-2 record with a team-high six saves. He has worked in 31 games – a school record. In a team-high 56.1 innings, he’s given up 49 hits and 35 runs, 22 earned. He has 37 walks and a team-high 79 strikeouts. “Tyler has done everything he could to help our team,” coach Mike Gottlieb said. “His breaking stuff has been dominant and there is no way we would be going to the (CAA) tournament without him. Every good team has a good bullpen and we have been very fortunate to have Tyler Austin on our team.” Even before the tourney begins, Austin holds school records in games pitched (82) and strikeouts (205). The Tigers, 26-29 overall and 15-15 in league play, will meet Delaware in the first round of the tourney Wednesday in Harrisonburg, Va. Towson is the sixth seed and snuck into the tourney by winning all three games against James Madison last weekend. Austin worked in all three games. At Towson’s year-end Golden Paws sports banquet last weekend, Austin was presented with the Male Unsung Hero Award. GEFFERT AN IRON MAN – In his four years playing with the Southern Connecticut baseball team, senior Ryan Geffert (Wyoming Valley West) started and played 199 out of 200 games.

ON CAMPUS BILL ARSENAULT Not only did the 6-foot-2, 220pound first baseman play in those games, he was outstanding. He earned Northeast-10 Conference first-team honors his first three seasons and was a third-team pick this season. Geffert hit .306 (53-for-173) this season with nine doubles and a team-high 12 home runs. He was second in RBI (34) and first in runs (43). He also had a team-high 35 walks. In the field, he made just seven errors on 478 chances (.985). The Owls finished 31-17, losing 5-4 to league champion Le Moyne 5-4 in the first round of the NE-10 playoffs. Geffert hit a grand slam in that game. “Ryan had an outstanding career, one that will go down as one of the finest in the history of the program,” coach Tim Shea said. “He finished strong down the stretch and how fitting was it that the last hit of his career was a grand slam? He will truly be missed.” Geffert leaves Southern Connecticut as the career leader in home runs (31), RBI (197), walks and fielding percentage for a first baseman. MARSHALL EYES FINALS – George Mason’s Mandissa Marshall (Crestwood) is seeded second in the pole vault at this week’s NCAA Division I East Regionals in Jacksonville, Fla. Marshall is on a roll. She captured the Colonial Athletic Association title and the ECAC Division I Championship heading into the regionals. Her season best (14-1¼) is

not only second best in the East but tied for ninth in the country. The 5-foot-8 junior finished in a five-way tie for first in last year’s East Regionals and went on to finish 19th at nationals. This year’s nationals will be held June 6-9 in Des Moines, Iowa. MASTELLER WRAPS IT UP – David Masteller (Hazleton Area) saw action as a starter and reliever with the Lock Haven baseball team. The 5-fooot-9, 165-pound righthander worked in 13 games, making five starts with two complete games. The senior posted a 4-6 record and a 5.79 earned run average. In 51 1/3 innings, he gave up 66 hits and 42 runs, 33 earned. He walked 22 and fanned 35. Prior to this season, Masteller had worked in 12 games in three seasons, all in relief. He sat out last season with an injury. The Bald Eagles finished 16-29-1 on the season. WILSON WAS SOLID – Senior Jon Wilson (Berwick) wrapped up his two-year career with the Niagara baseball team. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound shortstop hit .278 (47-for-169) with 10 doubles, two triples, six home runs along with 38 RBI and 19 runs. He also pitched relief in two games. Wilson, who played at Lackawanna College prior to coming to Niagara, started all 48 games for the Purple Eagles, who finished 19-29 overall and 7-16 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The team saw its season end with a 7-5 loss to rival Canisius. Wilson had two hits in that game. DUO HELPING PITT – The Pittsburgh baseball team is headed to the Big East Conference Tournament and junior Sam Parente and sophomore Matt Wotherspoon are key members on the squad.

Tunkhannock grad Tyler Austin, now at Towson University, is one of the top relief pitchers in the . Parente (Pittston Area) plays third base for the Panthers and is hitting .305 (47-for-154) with nine doubles, 23 runs and 26 RBI. Wotherspoon (Crestwood) is a 6-foot-1, 175-pound right-handed pitcher. He’s 4-4 with a 4.63 earned run average. He’s worked 85.1 innings and has given up 84 hits and 54 runs, 48 earned. He’s walked 37 and struck out 82. Pitt finished the regular season with a 28-26 record and a 10-17 mark in the Big East but snuck into the eighth spot in the playoffs despite losing two of three to Louisville last weekend. The Panthers will get another shot at Louisville in the tourney. The 38-18 Cardinals are the No. 1 seed and the two teams meet in the first round Wednesday in Clearwater, Fla. BOWMAN, MATES FALL SHORT – Junior Cassie Bowman and her Mary Washington women’s tennis team made it to the NCAA Division III Tournament only to lose

5-0 to Vassar in the second round. Bowman (Crestwood) lost 8-3 in No. 3 doubles and was leading 6-4, 3-0 in No. 3 singles when Vassar was declared the winner. She won both her matches in a 5-0 victory over Grove City in the first round. On the season, Bowman finished 11-12 in singles and 11-7 in doubles. The Eagles finished 16-8. LYNN NAMED – Freshman Sara Lynn (Berwick) was named to the All-Freedom Conference second team for her play with the King’s women’s tennis team this spring. Lynn played No. 1 singles and with the No. 1 doubles team for the Monarchs. She finished 10-10 in singles including a 1-1 mark in Freedom action. One of her victories (6-3, 6-0) came against Eastern’s Jenna Laubach, who was named Freedom Rookie of the Year. King’s finished 7-14 after dropping a 5-3 decision to Misericordia in the first round of the league tourney. DUNN, NOLE HONORED –

Junior Jill Dunn and freshman Anna Nole earned All-ECAC honors for their efforts in the recent Division III Track Championships in Troy, N.Y. Dunn (Hanover Area) finished sixth in the 400-meter hurdles (63.54) while Hole (Tunkhannock) was seventh in the high jump (5-2½). Dunn also competed with the 400 relay, which finished 10th (49.36). Sophomore Stacey Perkins (Pittston Area) was also a member of the relay team. FIRST TEAM FOR SWEENEY – King’s junior Chris Sweeney (Crestwood) was named to the All-Freedom Conference first team in baseball. Sweeney hit .391 (54-for-138) with 10 doubles, three triples and a team high 11 home runs. He also led the Monarchs in runs (43) and was second in RBI (34). He hit safely in 29 of 34 games and had a .746 slugging percentage. The 6-foot-2, 180-pound outfielder-first baseman has had three great seasons with the team. He has 29 career home runs, including a school-record 13 as a sophomore, and an overall .383 (153-for-400) batting average with 43 doubles, four triples, 98 RBI and 119 runs. Junior Eric Bohem of Stewartsville, N.J. was also named to the first team after hitting .439 with 40 RBI. The Monarchs got big seasons from junior Rob Lemoncelli (Pittston Area), who hit 354 (36-for-158) with 36 runs and 27 RBI and junior Tim Marchetti (Hazleton Area), who hit .349 (38-for-109) with 27 runs and 20 RBI. Sophomore Tim Zaccone (Meyers) hit .385 (15-for-39) in limited action. King’s finished 13-24 overall and 6-15 in Freedom Conference action.

Margaret Bridge followed with a grounder to third, where Kya Swanek threw home to keep Welsh from scoring. Welsh dove head-first into home, but Skrepenak got a tag on Welsh’s torso before the Bulldog’s left hand came down on home plate. The collision left Berwick still down by two and Skrepenak bloodied. “I tagged her out and all I got was a cleat in the face,” Skrepenak said, adding it was “absolutely 100 percent” worth it to get the out. In the fourth, Skrepnak made a key play to end the inning as Berwick looked to take the lead. Moriah Lynn walked and Cassondra Dianese followed with a double to the fence in left-center. After a couple of pop-ups, Ashton Mensinger walked. On the fourth

Skrepenak stayed with the play and threw to third, catching Fisher in a rundown to end the inning. “I saw her jump and seeing her about halfway, I figured why not?” Skrepenak said. “It was a spur of the moment thing. Kya was there (covering) and there was already two out, so we had nothing to lose.” Abby Staskiel allowed just five hits for Redeemer, though Taylor Kern did drive in Berwick’s second run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. Staskiel retired the last nine batters she faced. “She pitched a stellar game,” Kotch said of the senior. “She stayed focused and kept her cool in a close game.” Margaret Bridge struck out seven and allowed just one earned run for Berwick, the Cinderellas of the tournament last season with its run to the district semifinals. “We are still young, with no

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Former West Virginia football coach Bill Stewart died Monday of what athletic department officials said was an apparent heart attack. A statement issued by spokesman Michael Fragale said Stewart’s family notified the university on Monday. Fragale said Stewart was golfing at the time. Stewart, 59, resigned last summer and was replaced by Dana Holgorsen the same night. Stewart had gone 28-12 in three seasons after taking over for Rich Rodriguez but failed to earn a Bowl Championship Series berth. Stewart had signed a six-year contract in September 2008, but the agreement was amended in 2010 when Athletic Director Oliver Luck decided to replace him. Holgorsen was hired as offensive coordinator and head coach-inwaiting, while Stewart was to serve his final season in 2011. But both Holgorsen and Stewart made unwanted headlinesAn intoxicated Holgorsen was escorted out of a casino, then a former newspaper reporter said that Stewart had approached him shortly after Holgorsen’s hiring to “dig up dirt” on his eventual successor.

seven or eight working days to present the defense’s case. Both sides are working to finish before June 8, when further conflicts with Walton’s schedule could cause the trial to go on recess for a month. Before Monday, McNamee had not been allowed to say that he provided former Clemens teammates Pettitte and Knoblauch with human growth hormone, or that he helped ex-Clemens teammate Mike Stanton obtain HGH from drug dealer Kirk Radomski. The judge had ruled that such information could prejudice the jury against Clemens. But Hardin’s grueling crossexamination tipped the balance in the other direction, prosecutors argued. Hardin suggested before the jury last week that McNamee had solely or primarily targeted Clemens, and that no one had been charged in connection with McNamee’s accusa-

tions, raising the issue of McNamee’s credibility. Walton therefore ruled that McNamee could name Knoblauch and Stanton as receiving HGH in 2001 when they were with the New York Yankees, and Pettitte in 2002 when he was with the Yankees. The judge instructed the jury that the names could only be used to help establish McNamee’s “credibility as a witness” and cannot be used to “infer Mr. Clemens’ guilt.” The government took full advantage, with prosecutor Daniel Butler using all three names repeatedly. McNamee said he was present when all three players used their HGH. Pettitte already has testified that he used HGH in 2002, so now the jury knows that McNamee was the source. Butler also worked in quick time to build all the sympathy he could for McNamee. The jury had heard last week that McNa-

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

Desmond shines as Nats top Phils The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Gio Gonzalez allowed three hits over six shutout innings and Ian Desmond homered and drove in both Washington runs to lead the Nationals to a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night. Gonzalez (6-1), a former Phillies farmhand, struck out seven of the first nine batters and finished with nine strikeouts. That upped his total to 35 over his last four starts, all wins, in 25 innings. Bryce Harper had two hits for Washington. Sean Burnett came in with one out in the ninth after Nationals closer Henry Rodriguez allowed runners to reach second and third and escaped a jam to earn his second save. Ty Wigginton hit a sacrifice fly off Burnett, but Placido Polanco lined out with two on to end it. Kyle Kendrick (0-4), making his second start in place of injured Vance Worley, allowed two runs and five hits in six innings. It was the third straight loss for the Phillies, who have dropped four of five to Washington this season and 12 of the last 15 meetings overall. Marlins 7, Rockies 4

CINCINNATI — Righthander Mike Leake hit his first career homer — one of three solo shots in a row by Cincinnati — and allowed only two hits over eight innings for a victory against Atlanta. Drew Stubbs hit two of the career-high four homers allowed by Braves starter Mike Minor (2-4). All the runs scored on solo homers at one of the majors’ most hitterfriendly ballparks. Pirates 5, Mets 4

PITTSBURGH — Neil Walker scored on Clint Barmes’ tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning and Pittsburgh rallied against Johan Santana and the New York Mets. Mike McKenry tied it with a two-run homer in the seventh off Santana and Walker made it all the way to third in the eighth when his long drive off Jon Rauch (3-3) glanced off the glove of center fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis for an error and rolled to the wall. One batter later, Barmes hit a fly to right and Walker just beat the wide throw from Lucas Duda. Cardinals 4, Padres 3

Paulino becoming a Royal pain for Yanks The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Felipe Paulino blanked New York for the second time in a month, and Mike Moustakas and Jeff Francoeur hit two-run homers to lead the Kansas City Royals over the reeling Yankees 6-0 on Monday night. New York’s bats fizzled once again, going 0 for 13 with runners in scoring position with five strikeouts and a foulout. Booed repeatedly by their increasingly impatient fans, the Yankees lost for the sixth time in seven games and at 21-21 have their worst record at this point in the season since they started 20-25 in 2008 — the only time since 1994 that New York failed to make the playoffs. On a rainy, misty evening, Paulino (2-1) became the first starter to pitch shutout ball against the Yankees in consecutive outings since Boston’s Josh Beckett on April 10 and May 14 last year, according to STATS LLC. Hiroki Kuroda (3-6) took the loss. Red Sox 8, Orioles 6

BALTIMORE (AP) — David Ortiz homered in the sixth inning to start Boston’s comeback from a three-run deficit, and the Red Sox got three hits from Will Middlebrooks in a victory over the Baltimore Orioles.

Dustin Pedroia had two RBIs and Mike Aviles scored the go-ahead run in the seventh to help Boston secure its ninth win in 11 games. The Red Sox are tied with the New York Yankees in the AL East cellar but are at .500 (21-21) for the first time since April 30. Chris Davis homered for the first-place Orioles, who swept a three-game series in Fenway Park earlier this month. The Red Sox went up 7-5 with two runs in the seventh against Kevin Gregg (2-2). Andrew Miller (1-0) retired all five batters he faced to earn the win on his 27th birthday. Alfredo Aceves worked the ninth for his 10th save. Blue Jays 6, Rays 2

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Kyle Drabek overcame command issues to win for the first time on the road this season, Yunel Escobar hit a tiebreaking homer and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Tampa Bay Rays. Drabek (4-4), who entered 0-3 with a 5.23 ERA away from home, allowed two runs and three hits in six innings. The right-hander walked six, struck out three and had three wild pitches. Escobar put Toronto in front 3-2 on a solo homer off Jeremy Hellickson (4-1) in the sixth. Hellickson gave up five runs — two earned — and eight hits over 7 1-3 innings.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L May 22 1933 — Joe Sewell of the New York Yankees struck out for the first time this season, during a 3-0 win over Cleveland. Sewell would strike out only three more times in 524 at-bats. 1957 — The Boston Red Sox hit four home runs in the sixth inning of an 11-0 win over Cleveland. Gene Mauch, Ted Williams, Dick Gernert and Frank Malzone connected. All the homers came on the first 16 pitches from Cal McLish. 1959 — Baltimore’s Hoyt Wilhelm pitched a one-hitter against the New York Yankees for a 5-0 win. Jerry Lumpe’s single in the eighth spoiled the no-hit bid. 1963 — Mickey Mantle hit a pitch from Kansas City’s Bill Fischer off the right-field facade at Yankee Stadium in an 8-7 victory over the A’s. 1968 — Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit three home runs, a double and a single in a 13-6 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Stargell’s double just missed going out, as it bounced off the railing of the left-field bleachers. 1976 — St. Louis’ Reggie Smith hit three home runs — two right-handed and one left-handed — and drove in five runs in a 7-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Smith’s third homer came with two outs in the ninth and broke a 6-6 tie. 1977 — Boston and Milwaukee hit a combined 11 home runs in a 14-10 Red Sox victory at Fenway Park, tying a major league record. The Red Sox connected for six and the Brewers hit five in the first game of a doubleheader. 1983 — Cliff Johnson of the Toronto Blue Jays hit his 18th career pinch homer. The homer, off Baltimore’s Tippy Martinez, tied Johnson with Jerry Lynch on the career pinch home run list. 1998 — Brian Cox went 6-for-6, including a grand slam in a 10-run third inning, as Florida State rolled past Delaware 27-6 in the NCAA Atlantic II Regional. Freshman Matt Diaz hit three home runs for the Seminoles. 2000 — Milwaukee beat Houston in the first game of a doubleheader, 10-9, coming back from a 9-2 deficit to tie the score with seven runs in the bottom half of the ninth inning. The Brewers won the game in the 10th on a home run by Jose Hernandez. 2008 — Boston’s J.D. Drew and Mike Lowell hit grand slams to help Daisuke Matsuzaka remain unbeaten as the Red Sox posted an 11-8 win over the Kansas City Royals. 2009 — Michael Cuddyer hit for the cycle and matched his career high with five RBIs as Minnesota defeated Milwaukee 11-3. Cuddyer hit a three-run homer in the first inning, doubled in the third and singled in the fourth before completing the cycle by tripling on a broken-bat liner into the left-field corner in the sixth. Today's birthdays: Eric Sogard 26; Chad Tracy 32.

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

Orlando makes coach disappear

He’s back to Manning Denver’s ship

After tumultuous season, Stan Van Gundy and GM Otis Smith are shown the door. By KYLE HIGHTOWER Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — For months the Orlando Magic have been trudging through the aftermath of a preseason trade request by Dwight Howard that sapped the life out of the franchise as internal team issues quickly affected the product on the floor. Now after easily one of the most tumultuous seasons in their history, they made the first in what promises to be a huge offseason shake-up The Magic Van Gundy fired coach Stan Van Gundy on Monday and agreed to part ways with general manager Otis Smith, severing ties with two of the architects of one of the most successful runs in franchise history. Smith and Van Gundy’s relationship with Howard was the centerpiece of drama the team faced all season and following their second straight first-round playoff exit, CEO Alex Martins said the shift was warranted. “It’s time for a new leadership and a new approach,” Martins said at a news conference to discuss the moves. “We simply came to the decision that we were not on the right track.” Martins wouldn’t go into many specifics about what he is looking for in replacements, saying only that he and ownership want to fill the general manager post by June’s NBA draft. He said he would sit down with ownership on Tuesday to begin ironing out the details of both searches. Phone and text messages left with Van Gundy and Smith by The Associated Press were not immediately returned. Orlando went 37-29 in the regular season but was eliminated in five games by Indiana after a rash of late-season injuries that included back surgery for Howard. Orlando went 5-12 without him. Martins said those consecutive first-round playoff exits were “simply not good enough.” In early April, Van Gundy claimed top-ranking team officials had told him that Howard had asked management to fire Van Gundy as a condition of the center signing a long-term contract beyond 2013. Howard denied it. Martins addressed that dispute directly, saying “At no time during that time did Dwight ask me to have Stan fired.” With a relationship with Smith dating back to the Magic’s inaugural season when Smith was a player and a five-year relationship with Van Gundy, Martins also called Monday “the most difficult day of my career.” Both Smith and Van Gundy are under contract through next season and both of their contracts will be honored. The current assistant coaching staff has also been offered the opportunity to stay on for now. Van Gundy coached the Magic for five seasons. He finished with a 259-135 record, going 31-28 in the playoffs. Smith departs after six years. He was the architect of Magic teams that made it to the playoffs in each of those seasons, winning the Eastern Conference championship in 2009. But he also made several questionable moves, including trades for Vince Carter and Gilbert Arenas that failed to work out long-term. Howard often commented about Van Gundy’s grumpy demeanor on the floor, saying it was at times counterproductive for the team.

After a year and a half out of uniform battling neck injury, Peyton Manning returns. By ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — His passes were hitting receivers in stride and right between the numbers, not skipping off the ground or whizzing behind their heads like so many of Tim Tebow’s. The Denver Broncos got their first real taste of Peyton Manning on Monday with a spirited, fast-paced workout, the fourtime MVP’s first full practice in more than 16 months. “It felt good to be out there. It’s been a while for me,” Manning said. “It’s been about a year and a-half since I’ve been in uniform, been in an organized practice. So, it felt good to be out there.

And it will be a good film to study.” Monday also was the first chance for the media to get a look at the progress Manning has made since a series of neck operations sidelined him all of last season and led to his release from the Indianapolis Colts. And Manning looked great, showing zip and accuracy on his passes, comfort under center, complete command of his offense and no ill effects from the nerve injury that caused weakness in his throwing arm. “Man, it feels good to know he’s going to be on my side because what I saw today, he’s going to give us some good work,” star cornerback Champ Bailey said. “And we might not see a quarterback like that all year.” Manning became the most prized free agent in NFL history following his release from the Colts after 14 seasons. His sign-

ing in Denver led to Tebow’s trade to the New York Jets, despite a thrilling run to the playoffs guided by the younger QB. The Broncos and a handful of other suitors watched Manning throw during his whirlwind free

agency tour in March, but before Monday, reporters had to rely on his receivers for updates on his progress. Manning had refused to talk about it. “Well, you guys got to see him today,” tight end Jacob Tamme

said. And he looked like the Manning of old. His throws, most of which were intermediate, were strong and on target. His only deep pass was true, too, hitting Matthew Willis in stride before being broken up by cornerback Tracy Porter at the goal line. Watching his pinpoint passes zip around Dove Valley, one never would have guessed he’d been forced to take a sabbatical and go under the scalpel multiple times since his last game, a wild-card playoff loss to the Jets in January of 2011. “Oh, no. Absolutely not,” Bailey said. “You know, it’s not live, but from what I see right now, the guy hasn’t missed a beat.” Coach John Fox said Manning’s “getting better every day.” And so are the Broncos, on account of Manning’s presence. “He definitely raises all boats, that’s for sure,” Fox said.

Another attack in parking lot Four arrested after another man is beaten in parking lot at LA’s Dodger Stadium. The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — A minor fender bender in a Dodger Stadium parking lot over the weekend led to the beating of a driver and the arrest of four people more than a year after a San Francisco Giants fan was left with brain damage after an attack on opening day, police said Monday. The latest attack occurred Sunday, when the victim, a man in his 20s, had a collision with another driver and three other men pinned him down, police said. The other driver kicked and hit

the victim in the head and face while he was on the ground, police Sgt. David Armas said. “It was just a minor fender bender that just got totally out of hand,” he said. The victim, whose name was not released, had scrapes and cuts to his face, but his injuries were not life-threatening, Armas said. A woman in the victim’s car who is eight months pregnant was not hurt, but she was examined at a hospital as a precaution, he said. The four men, all in their 20s, were arrested for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon. They were not immediately identified. In a statement, Dodgers officials praised stadium security and Los Angeles police for a “quick se-

curity response (that) prevented the confrontation from escalating further.” Security responded within moments, according to the statement issued Monday. Dodger President Stan Kasten said the organization is committed to providing a safe, familyfriendly environment for fans. The violence came after Giants fan Bryan Stow was beaten last year. Two men have pleaded not guilty to charges including mayhem and assault. Stadium officials beefed up security after that attack. Stow’s family has filed a lawsuit against the team and previous owner Frank McCourt, claiming security cutbacks were partially to blame for the attack.

New Jersey Devils players surround Zach Parise after he scored past New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist.

Devils, Brodeur punching back New Jersey goalie takes jab from old friend and stops 27 shots to even series. By TOM CANAVAN AP Sports Writer

NEWARK, N.J. — Martin Brodeur made 27 saves and survived a third-period punch to the chin by old buddy Mike Rupp as the New Jersey Devils defeated the New York Rangers, 4-1, Monday night in Game 4 to even the Eastern Conference Finals, 2-2. Zach Parise had two goals and an assist and Bryce Salvador and Travis Zajac beat Henrik Lundqvist less than four minutes apart in the first period in a series where the intensity and the emotions are picking up. Brodeur even notched an assist in the third, on Parise’s empty netter, capping a game in which the Devils maintained their composure and bounced back from a 3-0 shutout in Game 3, while the Rangers took several uncharacteristic penalties and seemed rattled from the start. Game 5 is Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. This game was one where the chippiness increased with each period. New York’s Marc Staal whacked Patrik Elias in the back of the knee with his stick in the second. Ryan Callahan, the Rangers captain, and New Jersey’s Ilya Kovalchuk tussled. And finally, Rupp, a former Devil who scored the

Stanley Cup-clinching goal for New Jersey in 2003, jabbed Brodeur in his crease in the third after a stoppage in play. That almost set off a free-forall among the players on the ice, especially after Brodeur reacted like he had been hit by a roundhouse right. The best action, though, was along the benches where Devils coach Peter DeBoer screamed at Rangers coach John Tortorella in what he must have perceived was an intentional attack on his goaltender in a game in which the Rangers were once again dominated. The two coaches also sniped at each other on Sunday, complaining about pick plays and embellishing penalties. Indeed, these are the makings of another classic series in this rivalry. The Rupp punch came about four minutes after Parise scored on a power play to give New Jersey a 3-0 lead and for all practical purposes, ended the game. Ruslan Fedotenko ruined Brodeur’s bid for his 25th career playoff shutout with just over five minutes to play. The Rangers pulled Lundqvist, who had shut out the Devils in Games 1 and 3, with less than three minutes to play, and Brodeur made two outstanding saves to keep it a two-goal game. Parise finally iced the game with his second of the game and sixth of the playoffs. It was a clearing pass that found its way into the net.

Say what? Kraft’s new name ridiculed

B R I E F

Facebook shares drop

Facebook shares dropped 11 percent in its second day on the NASDAQ, closing at 34.03 per share. The social media company’s stock opened Friday at $38 and closed that day up 23 cents. But Monday, the company lost nearly $10 billion of its market value, and is now worth around $96 billion, about $2 billion below Amazon.com Inc.

By CANDICE CHOI AP Food Industry Writer

NEW YORK — “MONDEWHAAAAT?” Thesarcasmwaspalpableintheone-word headline that appeared in The New York Post on the day after Kraft Foods revealed that it planned to name its new global snack business “Mondelez,” an interpretation of a mash-up of the Latin words for “world” and “delicious.” But that wasn’t the only dig. One blogger teased that she would’ve been “stifling giggles” if she’d been in meetings to determine the name. A Forbes contributor suggested a trick for remembering how to say it: “Just think Bush Administration Secretary of State. You know, Mon-deleza Rice.” The made-up moniker, pronounced “mon-dah-LEEZ,” became a punch line after it was unveiled in March. On Wednesday, Kraft shareholders will decide whether to approve the name for the company’s business that sells global snack brands such as Oreos and Cadbury. The four-month odyssey of how “Mondelez” was picked — and how it was received — illustrates the great pains companies take to come up with powerful names for their businesses, products and services. “You have to generate thousands of ideas, even if it’s just for a cookie,” said Nik Contis, the global director of naming at branding company Siegel+Gale. More than 1,000 employees submitted more than 1,700 entries. If shareholders reject the name, the company will continue to be called “Kraft Foods Inc.” while the North American grocery business will be called “Kraft Foods Group Inc.”

Davis named GHP CEO

Dr. Duane E. Davis, has been named chief executive officer for Geisinger Health Plan. In addition to his role as CEO of Geisinger Health Plan, Davis will serve as CEO of Geisinger Indemnity Insurance Co. and Geisinger Quality Options Inc.; and executive vice president for insurance operations for Geisinger Health System. Davis Davis joined Geisinger Health System 1978. Most recently, he served as vice president, chief medical officer for Geisinger Health Plan, a position he has held since 2000. He also continues to practice medicine in the system’s department of rheumatology. He replaces Jean Haynes, who held that position since August 2009, and resigned for another position recently.

New deal: Pay fee or fly solo NEW YORK — If you’re flying this summer, be prepared to kiss your family goodbye at the gate. Even if they’re on the same plane. Airlines are reserving a growing number of window and aisle seats for passengers willing to pay extra. That’s helping to boost revenue but also making it harder for friends and family members who don’t pay this fee to sit next to each other. At the peak of the summer travel season, it might be nearly impossible.

The head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission says the agency has begun an investigation into JPMorgan Chase’s ill-timed bet on complex financial instruments that led to more than $2 billion in trading losses. Chairman Gary Gensler said Monday the investigation is “related to credit derivatives products as traded by the chief investment office of JPMorgan Chase.” He declined to give any details. Ina Drew, who as the bank’s chief investment officer oversaw the trading group responsible for the loss, left JPMorgan last week. JPMorgan invested heavily in an index of insurance-like products that protect against default by bond issuers. Hedge funds bet that the index would lose value, forcing JPMorgan to sell investments at a loss. The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating JPMorgan’s disclosures to shareholders about the trading loss. And the FBI has launched a preliminary criminal investigation into the loss at JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank by assets.

In the world of computers, accuracy is a virtue, and as the scale of transistors and chip architecture has shrunk, preserving that accuracy while maintaining reliability has become increasingly difficult – and this issue has been compounded by ever-increasing demands for more processing power. Researchers say we’re headed for a wall, beyond which it’s physically impossible to cram any more brains into a chip. Pretty soon, we’ll be able to make processor components that are so tiny, electrons have difficulty traveling through them and weird “spooky” physics begins to come into play.

pher from Fort Worth, Texas. “It gets more ridiculous every year.” Airlines say their gate agents try to help family members without adjacent seats sit together, especially people flying with small children. Yet there is no guarantee things will work out. Airlines are searching for more ways to raise revenue to offset rising fuel costs. In the last five years, they have added fees for checked baggage, watching TV, skipping security lines and boarding early. Now they are turning to seats.

Buying tickets two or more months in advance makes things a little easier. But passengers are increasingly finding that the only way to sit next to a spouse, child or friend is to shell out $25 or more, each way. With base fares on the rise — the average roundtrip ticket this summer is forecast by Kayak.com to be $431, or 3 percent higher than last year — some families are reluctant to cough up more money. “Who wants to fly like this?” says Khampha Bouaphanh, a photogra-

NICK DELORENZO chips cool increase dramatically, and more waste is introduced into the manufacturing process. For mobile manufacturers, this is a big problem. They can pack ridiculously powerful processors into very small devices, but they can’t supply enough power, for a long enough time, to make full use of their full potential. There are a variety of ways to overcome that problem. Throttling processor speed, so it’s only used as needed, is one example. Another is only allowing it to operate at full speed when a device is plugged in. But researchers at Rice University, in Houston, Texas, think they’ve found another way to combat the problem: Maybe processors can afford to be a little lazy while they’re

we go installing these “inexact” processors in surgical equipment or rockets any time soon, they’d be ideal for mobile and integrated devices that don’t depend on precision – you probably don’t care if the time on your phone is 0.000032 of a second off. The upshot: This could usher in a new category of inexpensive, energyefficient processors that are ideal for everyday use. The technology is already leaping off the drawing boards to be deployed on a small scale, so it’s possible that before too long, we’ll have processors that are more energy efficient, less expensive … and less particular … because sometimes, close enough is good enough to pass muster.

crunching all those numbers. In some areas, like graphics processing, audio or video playback, your brain can (and does) compensate for minute errors – you never detect them. In other scenarios, a computer might process a detail down to the tenth or twentieth decimal place, when all you really need is the answer down to … say, the second decimal place. In yet another scenario, in which there might be a few different ways to perform a task, the processor will select the operation that has the best likelihood of producing a correct answer.

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

K ON NUTRITION

Confusing concepts

A woman said to me, “You say one thing about nutrition. Other people say something else. It makes me just want to pull a towel over my head and forget about it all.” Not everything important to know about nutrition can be explained in a sound bite or simplistic statement. And here’s a great case in point: We know that a diet rich in vegetables can lower blood pressure

and improve heart function. But did we know that some of these health effects may be due to their high nitrate content? Stop the presses. Aren’t nitrates the substances used to cure meat products that we are supposed to avoid? Yes and no. Here is how it works, according to an excellent review article by registered dietitian and fitness expert Ellen Coleman. Nitrate is

Meat glue can be used for good, evil

ome people are just fine with taking no for an answer. Not the Legge family of Fairview Township.

In November 2010, Anita and Bob Legge waited for

hours at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township to hear word on their now-22-year-old son, Nick, who had been involved in a car accident in which he lost control of his vehicle, went airborne and was thrown15 feet from his car. The news was not good. “He had two punctured lungs, a ruptured spleen, several broken ribs, several fractured vertebrae,” Anita recalled. “The surgeon told us there was a less than 5 percent chance he would ever walk again.” That number quickly turned to zero post operation. Nick was considered a paraplegic.

Anita and Bob Legge help their son Nick onto a workout machine that the family uses four days per week to build up strength in Nick’s legs.

He began a monthlong stay at the local Geisinger, after which he was moved to Magee Rehabilitation in Philadelphia. That’s when Anita began to search for solutions. “I actually went online and typed in ‘cure for spinal cord injuries,’” she said. “I kept seeing stories of quadriplegics and paraplegics who were told

they’d never walk again, but there they were, taking their first steps.” Anita came upon Project Walk, a nonprofit organization based in California. Project Walk recognizes the potential for function improvement in those See POSITIVE, Page 2C

Test offers red flag for autism By MEREDITH COHN The Baltimore Sun

A simple “pull-to-sit” test on infants at six months old may help doctors predict autism and other delays, a new study has found. The study by Kennedy Krieger Institute researchers looked at infants at high genetic risk for autism and found many had weak head and neck control. A large number went on to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, though some had other, more mild language or social delays. The test, added to other developmental measurements al-

ready taken of babies, would provide a red flag for parents of all infants, said Dr. Rebecca Landa, study author and director of Kennedy Krieger’s Center for Autism and Related Disorders. The parents could then seek advice on whether to begin activ-

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

who suffer from spinal-cord injury, and it taps into that through an activity-based program. The five-phase program focuses on exercises related to movement patterns that happen during human development, in an attempt to re-establish patterned neural activity within the central nervous system. The first two phases are Reactivation (I) and Development and Stabilization (II), during which the nervous system is stimulated. Eccentric and Concentric Muscle Contractions make up Phase III, and the goal is to make muscle contractions happen through positional movement and stimulation. Phase IV is all about improving function and coordination, and Phase V, called Gait Training, focuses on those who are moving their legs or are able to walk with or without aids. After starting the program last summer Nick is still in the early phases, which Anita said take the longest. The start of the process involved not only training for Nick but also for Anita and Bob so the process could continue once the family returned home. Nick now works out four days

The results were almost immediate.

key.” “Many doctors will tell you just go home, don’t do much except for some work with the arms so you don’t get too tired turning the wheels of your chair,” Anita said, “but that’s just not true.” Not only is Project Walk a help physically for the injured but for the person’s state of mind. “You don’t feel like a patient there,” Nick said. “There were people of all ages, kids, my age, older people, that I saw that were walking again.

ities to improve performance. “We don’t want to scare parents,” she said. “If I go to the doctor because I’m having problems with balance, he’s not going to assume I have a brain tumor. When a baby shows a head lag there are so many other things it can be. But this is a very real indicator of something wrong with development and easy things can be done to help.” Landa planned to present the data and other research at the International Meeting for Autism Research, a scientific gathering held May 17 in Toronto. She said previous studies have shown the head lag indicates delays in kids with cerebral palsy and pre-term infants; this test has not been used for infants at risk of autism. She recommended that all pediatricians add the test of postural control to their lineup and follow children closely if a lag exists. There are other indicators for developmental delays such as eye contact and ability to grasp objects, but the pull-to-sit test appears to be the best indicator for autism, Landa said. Recently, The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 1 in 88 kids has autism, 23 percent higher than an estimate three years ago. This is possibly due to better diagnosis of children.

PAGE 7C

Proposal from married man is little cause for celebration for woman Dear Abby: I’m a 42-year-old woman who has been living with my boyfriend, “Matt.” He has asked me to marry him. The problem is, Matt is still married. Matt and his wife have been separated for eight years. I keep telling him to get in touch with her and see if she filed for divorce, but he keeps putting it off. I really do love this man, Abby. Matt is good to me and to my children and grandchildren, but sometimes I don’t know what to think or do. I want us to buy a house, but I’m scared that if we do, she’ll try to take it from us. Please advise. — Lady in Waiting in Louisiana

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Lady In Waiting: I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a marriage proposal from a man who is still married means nothing. I urge you to PLEASE consult a lawyer before putting money into any joint financial ventures with this man. He may be “good” to you, your children and grandchildren, but he hasn’t been completely forthright. Your concerns are justified. Listen to your woman’s intuition. Dear Abby: Two years ago, I adopted a dog from my local Humane Society. “Brandy’s” approximate age at the

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

time of adoption was 16 years. I had two wonderful years with Brandy before he died. What I would like to share with your readers is, when you consider adopting a pet, please don’t rule out an animal based strictly on age. Older animals can make excellent additions to a family. They deserve our love and kindness, too. — Missing Brandy in Juneau, Alaska Dear Missing: I’m sorry that you and Brandy were not able to have more years together, but bless you for sharing your heart and home with a pet that many might have overlooked. Older animals can provide a great deal of love and joy. They also are usually housebroken — something to consider for anyone for whom pup-

CRYPTOQUOTE

pyhood and adolescence might prove too destructive. The local shelter is an excellent place to find a mature companion. Dear Abby: The letters that have appeared in your column about safe driving prompt this one. I hope you will consider my experience worth sharing. I have poor depth perception. I make adjustments for this problem and check the distance between me and the car in front of me by looking at the distance on the road and not at the car. I began to notice that the cars coming at me were “fuzzy” and that I had to close one eye to have a clear image of them. Then I realized I was doing the same thing while watching televi-

sion. I mentioned it to my optometrist, and she checked my eyes and found that I had double vision. The adjustment to my prescription was so slight that you would not notice it, but I can now see clearly with my new glasses. — Clearly Focused in Minnesota Dear Clearly Focused: Your letter was an eye-opener. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to remind readers to have their vision checked every year. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Extend an invite, as it will be exceedingly lucky for you to do so now. Convenience will play a big part in whether or not your invite is accepted, so factor the geographic desirability and time of day into your proposal. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may not be able to smoothly say what’s in your heart, but if you write it out, you’ll come to an interesting conclusion. Three pages is the magic number. At the end of the third page, a clear direction begins to form. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be in a position to give a VIP what he or she is asking for. Unfortunately, close doesn’t count. It has to be exactly right. Double check to make sure you’ve covered every detail. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Whatever you take on, be early. Your fortunes will be augmented when you’re the first on the scene, an initial adopter of technology and ideas, or the one who arrives to the meeting before everyone else. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your personal integrity prevents you from pushing anything on others that they do not need, even if this is what your family, boss or company wants you to do. Your honesty may cost you a sale, but it will win you a customer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your responsibilities have you wound tight. That’s why your favorite people are the ones who can defuse the tension by making you laugh. Steal relaxation wherever you find it. Everything is going to be absolutely fine.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t be afraid to speak up. Instead of asking others what they’d like to do, putting the responsibility on them, come up with three stellar options and pitch them with a smile. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You love enthusiasm, and yet you are also aware of the dangers. High-pitched emotion can cause distortions of reality; the truth gets stretched. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your creativity is not an exhaustible resource. Your job is to keep the channels open, clearing out restrictive thoughts and limiting patterns on a regular basis. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A gift will land in your hands. This is not the return of good karma or a reward for hard work. The only reason this blessing comes to you is because it wants to belong to you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The most attractive people in the world are the ones who know themselves. Embracing “faults” turns them into advantages. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Unfortunately, good enough won’t be good enough. This is the kind of day when you have to go above and beyond the call — or don’t bother going at all. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 22). You’ll appreciate the opportunity this year affords. You have stellar ideas, and you’ll love it when you get the chance to try them out. Your friendship circle widens in June. Pisces and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 10, 22, 39 and 18.
