WASHINGTON, Pa. — Nearly 400 supporters and opponents of natural gas drilling debated its safety and economic feasibility at a U.S. Department of Energy hearing in western Pennsylvania.

PLYMOUTH – The 85-year-old cast iron flagpole at the Shawnee Cemetery is rusting away, and volunteers are mounting a campaign to get a replacement. Tom and Ruth Jesso, volunteer caretakers of the

13-acre cemetery off West Mountain Road, said Monday they are trying to raise more than $3,000 to purchase and install a new pole. “Replacing the flagpole has to be done,” said Tom Jesso, 59, on the day before America celebrates Flag Day, which is today. “Veterans fought for this country – for our freedom. They never let the flag fall, and we shouldn’t allow this flagpole to deteriorate to the point where it just falls over.” Henry Sobolewski, 72, volunteers at the cemetery with the Jessos and he stopped cutting grass

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County senior judge has granted permission to a teenage girl involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital to attend her father’s funeral but said she must be immediately returned. Senior Judge Chester Muroski, who presided over an emergency hearing Monday morning for Anna Marie Kelchak’s daughter, Jessalyn, will allow the 15-year-old to attend her father’s funeral on Thursday, but she must return to the psychiatric hospital shortly after his burial. The judge’s ruling diminishes the hopes of Kelchak to have her daughter home for several days to mourn her father’s passing. Jessalyn is the daughter of Kelchak and Eric Peltz, 45, of McAdoo, who was killed Wednesday

W-B Council hopes to resolve hoops issue Council will also ask for increased police patrols at Scouten-Lee Park.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – City Council hopes to know if federal funds were used to build the ScoutenLee playground before it has the basketball hoops there removed. Last month, council heard from Chris Stephens, who talked about noise, litter and other activity at Scouten-Lee Park during late hours. He said he has called police and he suggested remov-

ing the basketball hoops to deter the adults from using the park late at night. Council Chairwoman Kathy Kane said she will ask the administration to look into increasing patrols. The problem has persisted and Mayor Tom Leighton said he has asked his staff to research the park to find out if federal funds were used to build it. If federal funding was used, the city might have to return the money if the hoops are taken down. “I’ve asked for increased police patrols of the parks,” Leighton said at Monday’s council work session. “That park has been

Hughestown honors late Norma Yaple By B. GARRET ROGAN Times Leader Correspondent

W H AT ’ S N E X T

HUGHESTOWN -- Former resident and former borough employee Norma Yaple was remembered fondly during Monday night’s borough council meeting. Yaple passed away on May 28 at the age of 79. Aside from serving as a council member, she worked as a borough secretary, treasurer and auditor over the past three decades. “Norma was a good friend and a faithful employee,” Hughestown Mayor Paul Hindmarsh said. “She will be missed.” The Yaple name is renowned in the borough. The Robert Maple Park, on Center Street behind the Municipal Building, is named after Norma’s late husband. “They were communityminded people,” Hindmarsh said. Also on Monday, the council announced that a state gaming funds grant applied for by Dupont in conjunction with Hughestown and four other area municipalities was approved. Roughly $461,000 in funding will be provided toward the purchase of machinery that will convert yard waste into compost. The residential yard waste from Hughestown, Dupont, Duryea, Laflin, Jenkins Township and Pittston will be taken to the new localized center and residents will be able to obtain the compost for free. The terms of the grant do not

require Hughestown to pay anything toward the construction or purchase of the machinery. The borough currently hauls its yard debris to a facility in Dickson City. The 60-mile round trip is made roughly three times each Wednesday for several months each year. Council President Wayne Quick Jr. estimated that the new yard waste recycling center will be in operation sometime during the summer of 2012. Also on Monday, Griffith Street resident Michael Bowman complained that open sewage has recently begun showing up on his yard after rainstorms. Bowman had heard that there were storm water problems in the area but he said he was surprised to see the sewage. He said he suspected it was coming from his neighbor’s yard but doubted that she was aware of any problems with any of her subterranean piping. Hindmarsh acknowledged there were some stormwater drainages in that area of the borough that might have been caused by the Kappa Graphics plant, but he said he was completely unaware of any sewage issues. Borough officials promised to have someone at Bowman’s home this morning to address the issue.

Pa. House OKs bath salts ban The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A bill to ban synthetically produced drugs known as bath salts is popular in Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives. The bill unanimously approved Monday also would add Salvia Divinorum, Salvinorin A, Divinorin A, synthetic marijuana, and synthetic cocaine or heroin to the list of Schedule I controlled substances. The House amended the bill to prohibit all chemical sub-

stances analogous to bath salts. Drugs packaged as bath salts or incense sell for as little as $10 and can cause extreme paranoia and hallucinations. Several communities in Luzerne and Lackwanna counties as well as the counties themselves already have banned the substances. Florida, Louisiana and New Jersey are among the states that already have enacted bans on bath salts.

Coasters lead singer Carl Gardner dies The Associated Press

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — Carl Gardner, original lead singer of the R&B group the Coasters, has died in Florida. He was 83. Gardner’s wife Veta says her husband died Sunday at a Port St. Lucie hospice after a long bout with congestive heart failure and vascular dementia.

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987, the Coasters had a string of hits in the late 1950s. Their single “Yakety Yak” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 following its 1958 release. Carl Gardner Jr. has been the lead singer since his father retired in 2005.

tion, roof repairs and window/ skylight replacement in Phase I of the project, and in Phase II, plaster restoration, plumbing, fire protection, HVAC and electrical work. “Having all of this work done will get the building ready for development,” Leighton said. “There has been a lot of interest in the building for a variety of projects. Whatever goes in there, it will take another three to four

million dollars to renovate it.” James Burke and architect Don Sanderson had proposed to establish an Anthracite Miners Museum in the former bank building, but they have withdrawn their interest. The building is owned by the city. The building has been vacant for 37 years, and Leighton said there has been some recent interest by potential developers -- other than Burke and Sanderson -- in the site. But Leighton couldn’t commit the city to any project when Burke made his proposal because the funding to renovate the building had not yet been received or even promised.

By PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Republican White House hopefuls condemned President Barack Obama’s handling of the economy from the opening moments of their first major debate of the campaign season Monday night, and pledged emphatically to repeal his historic year-old health care overhaul. “When 14 million Americans are out of work we need a new president to end the Obama Depression,” declared former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the first among seven contenders on stage to criticize the president’s economic policies. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, invited as an unannounced contender for the 2012 nomination, upstaged her rivals for a moment, using a nationwide television audience to announce she had filed papers earlier in the day to run — a disclosure in keeping with a feisty style she has employed in a bid to become a favorite of tea party voters. Obama was hundreds of miles away on a day in which he blended a pledge to help companies create jobs in North Carolina with a series of campaign fundraisers in Florida. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who first sought the nomination in 2008, was the nominal front-runner as the curtain rose on the debate. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has said he will decide after the state Legislature completes its current session, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s plans are still unknown. Gingrich, quick off the mark in attacking Obama, suffered the mass exodus of the entire top echelon of his campaign last week, an unprecedented event that left his chances of winning

the nomination in tatters. All seven flashed their antiabortion credentials, and were largely unified in opposition to same-sex marriage, which is legal in New Hampshire. Obama’s rivals found little if anything to like in what the president has done since taking office in the midst of the worst economic recession since the Great Depression. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum accused Obama of pursuing “oppressive policies” that have shackled the economy. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty labeled Obama a “declinist” who views America “as one of equals around the world,” rather than a special nation. Businessman Herman Cain, a political novice, called for eliminating the capital gains tax as a way to stimulate job creation. Romney stressed his experience as a businessman over 25 years as evidence that he can lead the nation out of a lingering recession. Said Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, the seventh contender on the stage: “As long as we are running a program that deliberately weakens our currency, our jobs will go overseas. And that’s what’s happening.” Bachmann drew one of the loudest rounds of applause Mon-

day night from a partisan debate audience when she predicted that Obama would not win reelection. He is “a one-term president,” she declared. Romney said the auto bailout was a mistake, and said more generally, “Instead of thinking in the federal budget what should we cut, we should ask ourselves the opposite question, ‘What should we keep?’ ” Santorum criticized the financial bailout that presidents George W. Bush and Obama backed, and Bachmann said she had worked in closed-door meetings in Congress to defeat the legislation. Pawlenty said politicians had caused the housing price bubble that contributed to the recession, and Paul blamed the recession on the Federal Reserve. “As long as we do what we’re doing in Washington it’s going to last another 10 years,” Paul said. Santorum said he wholeheartedly supported Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan’s proposal to turn Medicare into a program in which the government subsidizes beneficiaries who would seek coverage from private insurance companies. Pawlenty said he would have a plan of his own that shared some features with Ryan’s but would differ on other points.

Woman accused of piercing the ears and necks of three kittens, docking their tails. By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

State Superior Court on Monday upheld a ruling that a woman was guilty of animal cruelty when she tried to turn three kittens into “gothic cats.” A jury found Holly Crawford, 36, of Ross Township, guilty of one count of animal cruelty at a February 2010 trial in Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas, where prosecutors said she pierced the ears and necks of three kittens and docked their tails. To read the Superior Crawford then Court deciallegedly tried to sion, visit sell the kittens on www.times leader.com. eBay, advertising them as “gothic kittens.” A veterinarian who removed the piercings had testified that they were inappropriate because they served no purpose, that banding was an inappropriate way to dock a tail and that some of the wounds on the kittens were infected. An expert in veterinary forensic science testified that the piercings would be a source of constant irritation and pain for the animals and could alter their hearing; and that the piercings at the scruff of the neck would cause the kitten to always feel as if it was being dominated and bitten. She also testified that the animals were maimed, disfigured and tortured. Crawford was sentenced to six months of house arrest and one year, three months of probation. Crawford appealed, challenging the animal cruelty statute as unconstitutionally vague. She also maintained that evidence presented at trial was insufficient to sustain a conviction because prosecutors failed to prove she acted willfully and maliciously. The three-judge panel in Harrisburg found that the statute was not vague. And because Crawford admitted at trial that she used a 14gauge needle – the size used to inject cattle – to pierce the kittens with no anesthesia; that the kittens cried when being pierced; and because Crawford admitted that she thought it would be “neat” to pierce the kittens “demonstrates that her actions were willful and were not for a legitimate good-faith purpose,” the court found.

Marine vet says he lost his cool in VA call Robert Stahlnecker, 39, is charged with using vulgar and threatening language. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

JENKINS TWP. – A veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps does not dispute he used foul language toward a few female employees at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office in Philadelphia. But Robert Stahlnecker, 39, does deny his tone was threatening. Police in Jenkins and Plains townships and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently charged Stahlnecker with using vulgar and threatening language and making a reference to rape to female call takers at the VA in 2009. The charges were filed on May 31, nearly two years after the calls. Stahlnecker said he lost his cool after years of fighting de-

nials from the VA regarding disability compensation for a severe ankle injury he said he suffered while leading a platoon during military training in 1999. “I’m not completely free of guilt,” Stahlnecker said. “I do believe I was inconsiderate of someone’s sensitivity to profanity.” He said the use of the word “rape” was taken out of context. “I told the women, ‘If you were raped and you went to police for help and they said they couldn’t help you, how would you feel?’ ” Stahlnecker said. “The VA is doing the same thing to me.” Stahlnecker said he served in the Marine Corps, enlisting in 1995 until he injured his ankle in 1999. “I lost my bearing when running down a sandy slope and I stepped on a rock, and my momentum kept me going and I landed awkwardly on my ankle,” Stahlnecker

Motion against Ciavarella

.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith filed U a motion Monday seeking a “final order of forfeiture” against

former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella. A jury convicted Ciavarella on 12 counts in his corruption trial in February, and then issued a “special verdict form” calling for the forfeiture of $997,600, the amount developer Robert Mericle paid to Ciavarella as a “finder’s fee” after Mericle landed the contract to build the facility. Prosecutors argued the money was a kickback for actions Ciavarella and former Judge Michael Conahan took to assure the facility would be a financial success. Monday’s motion notes that a preliminary order requiring the forfeiture was issued on March 15 by U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik. Federal rules required the government to post notice of the forfeiture on-line for 30 days so any person claiming a legal interest could petition the court for a hearing. “No claims were filed within the requisite 30-day period,” the motion notes. “Therefore, any third-party interests are barred.” Smith then asks Kosik to issue a final order demanding the forfeiture.

Gushanas, 25, of Route 118, was walking east on U.S. Highway 98 when he was struck by a 2011 Toyota Prius on June 6, according to the Northwest Florida Daily newspaper. The newspaper reported Gushanas was flown to Baptist Hospital, Navarre, Fla., where he died on June 7. The Florida Highway Patrol told the newspaper no charges will be filed against the driver.

Per diem hike criticized

Sid Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor, who has declined to take a legislative per diem, said the new rate is “an insult” with so many people unem- Kavulich ployed and services being cut. Per diems are set by the federal government and are used to offset the cost of hotel rooms and meals when legislators are working away from home. The rate for Harrisburg has been increased from $160 to $185 for June, July and August to reflect the higher hotel rates due to an increase in tourism in the area. The meal rate of $51 remains unchanged. WILKES-BARRE

Record storage studied

Luzerne County officials are still exploring options to store county records. Seven property owners responded to the county’s recent request seeking prospective land or buildings, county Commissioner Thomas Cooney said during Monday’s record improvement committee meeting. Cooney and other Cooney county officials will screen the proposals and present them to the committee next month, he said. County officials are considering building a facility or renovating a leased or purchased building because they want to get records out of the Thomas C. Thomas building in downtown Wilkes-Barre, which has been criticized for temperature extremes, lack of security, leaks and fire hazards. An existing fee on deeds recorded in the county would help pay for the project.

Water rushing from a 50-foot-wide hole in a levee near Hamburg, in far southwest Missouri, is threatening more people. Flood waters are expected today to reach a secondary levee protecting the partially evacuated town of about 1,100 people. But if that levee fails, parts of Hamburg could be under as much as 10 feet of standing water, officials said. The breach near Hamburg, in far southwest Iowa, is threatening more people. The town of about 1,100 residents was already partially evacuated, and water rushing from the 50-footwide hole in the levee is expected to reach a secondary levee protecting the town today.

CARLISLE, PA.

Sheep get busy at school A central Pennsylvania school has a woolly plan to keep its grass neatly trimmed. The Carlisle Area School District says it can save up to $15,000 a year by turning over some landscaping chores to sheep. The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reports the district is using the sheep to keep the grass near its solar panels neatly trimmed. The sheep nibble grass in the morning and take refuge in the shade of the panels in the afternoon. With the food already on hand, the district need only supply the sheep with water. A middle school assistant principal is providing the sheep. BEIJING

Migrant workers protest Chinese authorities struggled to restore order Monday after migrant workers overturned police cars, smashed windows and set fires near the southern manufacturing hub of Guangzhou over the manhandling of a pregnant vendor. It began as a run-of-the mill altercation that erupted Friday night when city authorities tried to clear away migrants from Sichuan province who were hawking produce in front of a supermarket in Zengcheng, in the outskirts of Guangzhou. But the ferocity of the rioting over the weekend exposed the fragility of social order.

MISRATA, Libya — Libyan rebels Monday broke out toward Tripoli from the opposition-held port of Misrata 140 miles to the east, cracking a government siege as fighters across the country mounted a resurgence in their fourmonth-old revolt against Moammar Gadhafi. The rebels gained a diplomatic boost as well when the visiting the German foreign minister said the nascent opposition government was “the legitimate representative of the Libyan people.” Guido

Westerwelle was visiting Benghazi, the capital of the rebel-held east of the country, to open a liaison office and hand over medical supplies. He stopped short of full diplomatic recognition of the Transitional National Council, as has the United States, awaiting the ouster of Moammar Gadhafi from his more than 40-year rule in the oil-rich North African country. Germany has refused to participate in NATO airstrikes in Libya and withheld its support for the U.N. resolution that allowed the attacks. What started as a peaceful uprising against Gadhafi has become a civil war, with poorly equipped and trained rebel fighters taking control of the eastern third of Libya and pockets of the west. But the fighting had reached a stale-

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA

Volcano disrupts air travel The drifting plume of ash from Chile’s erupting volcano forced new cancellations of dozens of flights on Monday in Argentina, Uruguay and other South American countries, even as airlines in Australia began trying to move a backlog of volcano-stranded passengers. Buenos Aires’ two main airports halted flights due to the cloud of fine grit, which can damage airplane engines. The cloud also has drifted across the Pacific Ocean, and most flights between Australia and New Zealand remained grounded. In Argentina, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was among those inconvenienced by the closings of Buenos Aires’ airports. He was forced to fly instead into the city of Cordoba and travel on by car to visit President Cristina Fernandez in the capital.

mate until last week when NATO began the heaviest bombardment of Gadhafi forces since the alliance took control of the skies over Libya under a U.N. resolution to protect civilians from Gadhafi’s wrath. NATO has been pounding Gadhafi military and government position with increasing vigor and the rebels are again on the move. Gadhafi’s power has been considerably degraded by the NATO attacks as well military and government defections. In London, Libyan analysts reported Monday that Gadhafi had lost another close official who defected and fled the country. Sassi Garada, one of the first men to join Gadhafi when he took power, left Libya through Tunisia, according to Noman Benotman, a Libyan analyst.

WASHINGTON — House officials say the House Ethics Committee staff has initiated a preliminary inquiry into Rep. Anthony Weiner’s sexually charged online relationships with several women. House officials told The Associated Press on Monday that the inquiry is not yet extensive, and that committee leaders have not indicated whether they will order a more intensive staff inves- Weiner tigation. The officials requested anonymity because the committee has yet to make a formal statement. The New York Democrat could face an ethics investigation that could take many months, even longer if he mounts a full defense. The committee leaders can decide to appoint a four-member subcommittee to investigate Weiner, including whether he used government resources to send lewd photos of himself online. The ethics committee determines whether a House member violated standards of conduct. Weiner’s behavior has been “inappropriate” and “a distraction,” the White House said Monday as the House returned to work for the first time since eruption of the sexting scandal that has brought calls for the New York Democrat’s resignation. White House spokesman Jay Carney wouldn’t say whether President Barack Obama believes Weiner should resign — as other Democratic leaders have said. Weiner is on a temporary leave of absence, in treatment for an undisclosed disorder at an undisclosed location. He has acknowledged exchanging messages and photos that ranged from sexually suggestive to explicit, with several women online. The latest to surface appeared on the gossip website TMZ. “The president feels, we feel in the White House, that this is a distraction, obviously,” Carney said in response to questions from reporters traveling with the president on Air Force One to North Carolina. “As Congressman Weiner has said himself, his behavior was inappropriate, his dishonesty was inappropriate. ”

Syrian refugees are seen Monday inside Syria, near the Turkish border. Syrians poured across the border Monday to refugee camps in Turkey, fleeing the military crackdown.

GUVECCI, Turkey — Syrians streamed across the border Monday into neighboring Turkey, finding sanctuary in refugee camps ringed by barbed wire and offering a frightening picture of life back home, where a deadly crackdown on dissent is fueling a popular revolt. Turkey’s prime minister has accused Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime of “savagery,” but also said he would reach out to the Syrian leader to help solve the crisis. Still, many of

the nearly 7,000 refugees in Turkey say they expect their government to inflict only more violence and pain. Refugees were pouring across the border to flee a crackdown Sunday that sent elite forces backed by helicopters and tanks into Jisr alShughour, a northern town that spun out of government control for a week. Troops led by Assad’s brother regained control of Jisr al-Shughour on Sunday, and residents ran for their lives. In Guvecci, two Syrians gave a bleak picture of life across the frontier.

“There are 7,000 people across the border, more and more women and children are coming toward the barbed wires,” said Abu Ali, who left Jisr al-Shughour. “Jisr is finished, it is razed.” Turkey and Syria once nearly went to war, but the two countries have cultivated warm relations in recent years, lifting travel visa requirements for their citizens and promoting business ties. Turkey and Syria share a 520mile border, which includes several Syrian provinces. Refugees appeared to be crossing unimpeded around Guvecci.

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Monday that he sees no roadblocks to ending the ban on openly gay military service, and if the top officers of each service recommend moving ahead on the repeal before the end of the month, he will endorse it. A little over two weeks before ending his 41⁄2-year tenure as Pentagon chief, Gates sat down in his office for an Associated Press interview that touched on a range of issues, including his expectations for a smooth handoff to his designated successor, current CIA director Leon Panetta. Gates will retire June 30; Panetta’s Senate confirmation is expected shortly. Gates sounded a cautiously optimistic note about developments in troubled Yemen, where the government and opposition tribes have engaged in armed clashes, pushing the country toward civil war. Gates said things have calmed down a bit since President Ali Abdullah Saleh left for neighboring Saudi Arabia on June 5 for

“I don’t think you’ll see a full-blown war there,” Gates said. “With Saleh being in Saudi Arabia, maybe something can be worked out to bring this to a close,” by finding an accommodation among Saleh’s family, the opposition tribes and the military. The move to end the ban on gay services could be one of Gates’ final acts as defense chief. More than a million U.S. troops have been trained on the new law that repealed the 17-year-old ban on gays serving openly in the armed services, and Gates said the instruction has gone well. “I think people are pretty satisfied with the way this process is going forward,” he said. “I think people have been mildly and pleasantly surprised at the lack of pushback in the training.” Still, he noted that decades after women entered military service, there are still persistent problems with sexual assaults. So, the notion that there will be no ugly incidents when the ban is lifted is “unrealistic,” he said. Under the law passed last December and the detailed process laid out this year by the Pentagon, the military chiefs report to

charges are pending the outcome of a blood-alcohol test. According to court records: Luzerne County Senior Judge Pat Toole Jr. sentenced Carey on Dec. 3, 2008, to 90 days home confinement with electronic monitoring, and suspended his driver’s license for 30 months, for separate DUI arrests. He was also ordered to attend highway alcohol safe driving classes, perform 25 hours of community service and prohibited from conability compensation for the years 2000 through 2007, which led him to making hundreds of phone calls and emails to the VA in Philadelphia. “It is the principle of getting what I deserve,” Stahlnecker said. “Not only for me, but for all veterans who suffered a disability while on active duty and get denied by the VA. I have tolerated and put up with a great deal of nonsense. I was trying to get the VA to recognize they can’t treat veterans this way. They don’t care.”

His disability claim was accepted in 2007, eight years after suffering his injury. “I filed a new claim and was granted. They recognized I have limited motion,” he said. Stahlnecker said he receives $243 a month in disability compensation as his ankle is limited to 20 percent motion.

suming alcohol or use drugs. State police at Shickshinny arrested Carey when he was found passed out behind the steering wheel of a vehicle that was idling on Hunlock-Harveyville Road in Union Township on April 27, 2008. Four unopened and one open bottle of beer was found inside his car, according to arrest records. Carey refused to submit to a blood-alcohol test, state police said.

His second arrest happened on Sept. 13, 2008, when Nanticoke police said in arrest records he crashed into a utility pole on Main Street and sped away, parking his car on the sidewalk in the 300 block of West Main Street. Police said Carey had a bloodalcohol level of .253 percent, arrest records indicate.

“A couple of years ago, they said it couldn’t be done,” Urban said. The county spends about $94 per day to provide lodging, food and health care for inmates. But the county pays BI a daily rate of only $48 per inmate for monitoring and rehabilitation services. That rate will drop to $23 if the number of inmates in the program increases to 126. Around 83 offenders are currently in the program, which has a capacity of roughly 150. Prison officials continue to promote the program to the court system, Piazza said. Jennifer Lombardo, the county’s day reporting center director, said 46 percent of participants are working or attending school. In other business Monday, Piazza said the purchase of a dishwasher for roughly $25,000 will save the prison $5,000 a month on Styrofoam containers. Meals had been served in to-go containers. Also, fees for Dumpsters will decrease, Piazza said. The board also hired Grace Frank, Mountain Top, as a treatment coordinator at $35,000, and promoted correctional officer William Beecham to training corporal, at a salary of $55,086. Grievance settlements with two union employees were tabled by the board. The board had planned to pay a $9,359 settlement to counselor Robert Hetro and $11,913 to correctional officer Sarah Kosek.

Luzerne County is nearing the one-year anniversary of its progressive day reporting center, and officials hailed its success during Monday’s county prison board meeting. The Wilkes-Barre center, operated by BI Inc., is supposed to reform criminals and cut costs by reducing the number of inmates being lodged in the county prison. Offenders selected for the program, which started last July, are placed on home confinement and must report to the center for drug testing and participation in mandatory treatment plans. The county saved $149,437 in May, county Prison Warden Joe Piazza told the board Monday. That brings the net savings to $919,000 since the program was created last July, according to prison statistics. The first 11 offenders to complete the program will graduate on June 29 at the Wilkes-Barre Boulevard day reporting center. Participants must be in the program at least120 days to graduate, Piazza said. Piazza praised county Commissioner Stephen A. Urban for suggesting the program. Only one other Pennsylvania county – Franklin – has a day reporting center. “Everybody’s starting to look at it now, and you’re going to see more and more correctional facilities getting involved in day reporting and re-entry, so we’re ahead of the curve,” Piazza said. Urban said the previous coun- Jennifer Learn-Andes, a Times ty and prison administration had Leader staff writer, may be reached rejected the program. at 831-7333.

SCRANTON Continued from Page 1A

Brandler why he did that, Heim responded, “I didn’t want to get involved in having to pay for contract work.” Heim was the latest in a string of business owners to take the stand in the corruption trial of Munchak and Robert Cordaro. His testimony differed from the others, all of whom have admitted paying kickbacks to either Cordaro or Munchak out of fear they would lose contracts they had with the county. Monday marked the sixth day of Cordaro and Munchak’s trial on multiple counts, including racketeering, bribery, extortion and money laundering. Prosecutors allege the men accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in kickbacks during their tenure as majority commissioners from 2004 to 2008. Cordaro lived well off the money, according to prosecutors. Between March 2005 and September 2006, he paid $99,323 in cash for two cars, according to testimony from Anthony Domiano of Domiano Auto sales. But Heim wasn’t willing to pay to play. And he paid for that decision, according to the government. After he declined to donate, Heim said his company, which had previously won construction contracts on six projects, didn’t get a single job under Cordaro and Munchak’s tenure. A similar fate befell the owners of Northeast Credit Collections, a firm that held the contract to collect delinquent real estate taxes for Lackawanna County. Michael Conflitti, a consultant for Northeast Credit, testified the company lost the contract in 2005 after Cordaro repeatedly expressed disappointment that the firm’s owners were “not on his side” or “in his corner.” During one of several meetings

Testimony: Cordaro profited from ski resort sale

and conversations, Conflitti said Cordaro told him he wanted the owners to hold a fundraiser and make a campaign contribution. Conflitti said he personally gave $1,000, as did one of the owners of the company, but the firm never held a fundraiser for Cordaro/ Munchak. It lost the contract to a company owned by Joseph Durkin, a friend of Cordaro’s, in February 2005, Conflitti said. Under cross examination by Cordaro’s and Munchak’s attorneys, Conflitti said he believed Northeast Credit lost the contract, in part, because there was bad blood between Cordaro and Larry Moran, one of the company’s owners. Moran, an attorney, had been the solicitor for the prior administration. Conflitti also said he did not view the request for a campaign contribution as a solicitation for a kickback or bribe. “You didn’t consider you were being extorted?” asked Jerry Johnson, Cordaro’s co-counsel. “I didn’t,” Conflitti said. Johnson and Munchak’s attorney, Christopher Powell, elicited a similar acknowledgement from John Grow, another of the witnesses who prosecutors allege bribed Munchak and Cordaro. Prosecutors allege Grow gave $500 in a campaign contribution to secure a seat on the Multipurpose Stadium Authority that operates the Lackawanna County stadium. Grow testified he gave the cash contribution to Munchak in 2003. Questioned by Powell, Grow denied the money was meant to influence the commissioners into appointing him to the board. “Did you believe that by paying $500 to A.J. Munchak you were buying a position on the stadium board?” Powell asked. “No,” Grow replied. Testimony is scheduled to resume at 9:30 a.m. today before U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo in the federal courthouse in Scranton.

Title insurance firm owner says payment was common practice among attorneys. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Former Lackawanna County Commissioner Robert Cordaro made a nearly $5,000 profit off the sale of the Montage Mountain ski resort for referring the buyer to a title insurance company, testimony at his corruption trial revealed Monday. Marty Steppacher of Reliable Abstract Co. said Cordaro, who is an attorney, earned the fee for referring the resort’s buyer, Sno Mountain, to the company. Steppacher said the payment to Cordaro was a common practice among attorneys, who routinely pay a percentage of the profit they make off a transaction to any attorney who referred the client. But was it a criminal act? Federal prosecutors called Steppacher as one of nine witnesses during the sixth day of Cordaro and A.J. Munchak’s corruption trial. The purpose of her testimony was unclear, however, as neither Cordaro nor Munchak are charged with any crime relating to the sale of Montage. She was among two witnesses who took the stand Monday to testify about actions Cordaro took that are not directly connected to any of the charges filed against him or Munchak. The second witness, Shawn Tuffy, testified regarding a unique sales agreement he entered into with Cordaro in 2006 for the purchase of Tuffy’s home at 57 Tiffany Drive in Dunmore. Prosecutors did not provide any hint of the reasoning behind

Shawn Tuffy testified Monday regarding a sales deal he entered into with former Lackawanna County Commissioner Robert Cordaro in 2006 for the purchase of Tuffy’s home.

Steppacher or Tuffy’s testimony, but it appears it may be related to a provision within federal law that allows the government to present evidence of “uncharged conduct.” Cordaro and Munchak are on trial for multiple counts of racketeering, bribery, extortion, money laundering and other offenses. Prosecutors allege the men accepted kickbacks and/or extorted money from eight companies that did business with the county from 2004 to 2008. Under federal law, the government is free to present evidence of other nefarious dealings a defendant allegedly engaged in, but for which he or she was never charged, in order to show a pattern of behavior. In Cordaro’s case, his acceptance of money related to the Montage sale raises questions of a conflict of interest as he was heavily involved in negotiations CO

to sell the resort. Commissioner Michael Washo testified last week he vehemently opposed the sale to Sno Mountain because he believed the county was rushing into the deal and could get more money if it took more time to search for other buyers. Monday marked the first time it was publicly revealed Cordaro profited from the sale. He received a referral fee of $4,908 from Reliable Abstract. The fee was paid by Sno Mountain as part of its closing costs and did not come directly from taxpayers. Regarding Cordaro’s purchase of his home, Tuffy testified Cordaro had asked him to file a sales agreement that falsely stated the home was being sold for $350,000 when, in fact, the sales price was $700,000. Tuffy said Cordaro, who was preparing to run for re-election, told him he was concerned

about what the public might think if it learned he purchased a home worth that much. “He didn’t want the public to get the wrong idea about him living in a mansion,” Tuffy said under questioning by Assistant U.S. Attorney William Houser. Tuffy said he agreed to write up the false sales agreement, but only under the condition that a second sales agreement with the actual price also be created. Houser presented the two agreements in court Monday. The first agreement, which listed the false price of $350,000, was signed by “Robert Cordaro.” But the second agreement with the $700,000 price was signed by “Robert Co.” Houser had just begun to question Tuffy about the two agreements when court recessed for the day. He will resume his testimony at 9:30 a.m. today.

Pentagon Papers are finally released It comes 40 years to the day after The New York Times published the first report. By CALVIN WOODWARD RICHARD LARDNER Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Call it the granddaddy of WikiLeaks. Four decades ago, a young defense analyst leaked a top-secret study packed with damaging revelations about America’s conduct of the Vietnam War. On Monday, that study, dubbed the Pentagon Papers, finally came out in complete form. It’s a touchstone for whistleblowers everywhere and just the sort of leak that gives presidents fits to this day. The documents show that almost from the opening lines, it was apparent that the authors knew they had produced a hornet’s nest. In his Jan.15,1969, confidential memorandum introducing the report to the defense chief, the chairman of the task force that produced the study hinted at the explosive nature of the contents. “Writing history, especially where it blends into current events, especially where that current event is Vietnam, is a treacherous exercise,” Leslie H. Gelb wrote. Asked by Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara to do an “encyclopedic and objective” study of U.S. involvement in Vietnam from World War II to 1967, the team of

three dozen analysts pored over a trove of Pentagon, CIA and State Department documents with “ant-like diligence,” he wrote. Their work revealed a pattern of deception by the Lyndon Johnson, John Kennedy and prior administrations as they secretly escalated the conflict while assuring the public that, in Johnson’s words, the U.S. did not seek a wider war. The National Archives released the Pentagon Papers in full Monday and put them online, long after most of the secrets spilled. The release was timed 40 years to the day after The New York Times published the first in its series of stories about the findings, on June 13, 1971, prompting President Richard Nixon to try to suppress publication and crush anyone in government who dared to spill confidences. Prepared near the end of Johnson’s term by Defense Department and private analysts, the report was leaked primarily by one of them, Daniel Ellsberg, in a brash act of defiance that stands as one of the most dramatic episodes of whistleblowing in U.S. history. As scholars pore over the 47volume report, Ellsberg said the chance of them finding great new revelations is dim. Most of it has come out in congressional forums and by other means, and Ellsberg plucked out the best when he painstakingly photocopied pages that he spirited from a safe night after night, and returned in the mornings.

ALLENTOWN — Pennsylvania’s charter schools show mixed results in math and reading, with all cyber charter students lagging their counterparts in public schools when it comes to learning, according to a Stanford University study. Authors of the report released in April said comparisons of reading and math test scores between 2007 and 2010 showed that, overall, students at more than onethird of the charter schools trailed those at comparable public schools. But 30 percent of the charter schools outperformed the public schools in reading and 25 percent of the charter schools did better in math. “Elementary school students enrolled in charter schools outperformed their peers in traditional public schools in both math and reading, while those enrolled in middle and multilevel charter schools performed worse in both subjects than their peers

at traditional public schools,” the report says. A poor showing by the state’s online charter schools dragged down the overall charter school numbers. Students at online cyber-charter schools, who accounted for 30 percent of the charter students covered by the study, performed significantly worse than students at public schools, the study said. If cyber-charters are excluded, 35 percent of students performed better than their public school counterparts in reading while 34 percent performed worse. Results were not as good in math, with 27 percent of brick-and-mortar charter students performing significantly better and 42 percent performing significantly worse. The study was conducted by Stanford’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes, which has conducted about 20 assessments of charter-school performance, including a national study in 2009.

STATE OPINION: BETTER TEACHERS

Ratings change won’t get job done

F ONLY IMPROVING education was as simple as proposing reforms. Pennsylvania Education Secretary Ron Tomalis is the latest to sound off. The Associated Press reports he has called for changes in the system of rating public school teachers and principals. He said the fact that 99 percent are rated “satisfactory” suggests the evaluations do not sufficiently reflect what goes on inside classrooms. That’s not as easy as it sounds because good teaching isn’t just a science that can be reduced to data. It’s an art, too, which is immeasurable. In addition to that, test scores and grades don’t tell the whole story when it comes to evaluating teachers. A lot of subjectivity goes into the process as well. Are there bad teachers? Not as many as you might think. Are there mediocre teachers? Yes, and far too many of them. Are

there excellent teachers? Yes, but not enough. However, the sorting-out process should start long before these teachers set foot in a classroom. College and universities should have rigorous admission and graduation standards for education majors. School boards should hire the best qualified candidates, not the best connected. To attract some of the best and the brightest, society should show how much it values good teachers by paying wages and providing benefits that reflect the importance of the profession. Let’s also recognize that outside factors influence education. Parents and peers have an enormous impact. When will we realize that changes that don’t take all these factors into account are doomed to fail? Beaver County Times, Pa.

would like to express my concern and disappointment regarding actions taken at the June 8 meeting of the WilkesBarre Area School Board. Dr. Bob Corcoran made a motion to close E.L. Meyers High School and Mr. Phil Latinski seconded the motion. After the motion failed, Mr. Latinski motioned to immediately study the repercussions of closing Meyers. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to do that before a vote was taken as to closing a major high school? Every parent of every student who attends Meyers High School needs to understand that this motion was two votes away from being approved. I can appreciate that we are in difficult economic times and that all avenues of cost-cutting and savings need to be evaluated. It amazes me that a decision this big is motioned and gains support apparently without any mention of what the plan would be if the motion had passed. At the very least, we as parents and taxpayers deserve to be better informed as to what those plans would be. Every student at Meyers High School also deserves to know. I am appalled that there have been no town hall-type informational sessions. Do we matter? Are we even going to be consulted? Don’t we have a right to be involved? It certainly doesn’t appear that we matter. There has been no mention of transition plans, whether there will be choices, whether there will be additional costs for transportation and if this will be the best alternative and environment for our children to flourish. This is a big deal. As a friend of mine said to me recently, we can send men to the moon, but we can’t figure out how to keep water from leaking into a building. John R. Lisman Class of 1980 E. L.

Weiner’s denials, then confession, so predictable

henever a married politician is caught playing around, he automatically denies the accusations, and only when he can no longer lie about it will he admit his indiscretions. Bill Clinton was forced to acknowledge his trysts in the White House with Monica Lewinsky when there was ample proof to contradict his denials. John Edwards initially called it tabloid trash when the National Enquirer revealed his affair with a staffer. He reluctantly

admitted he was the father of her child after he was discovered visiting the child. Now we have another liberal, U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York, sending lewd photos of himself to several women. After several days of hemming and hawing, Weiner made the obligatory tearful confession that he indeed was guilty. What a hot dog this Weiner turned out to be! Ralph Rostock Carverton

Enough light sentences! Give Ciavarella the max

’m writing about the light sentences that are being handed out to those people involved in the “kids for cash scandal.” Former Luzerne County juvenile probation official Sandra Brulo’s sentence of two years probation was the most devastating! These people should be punished harder because they abused their power. From the beginning it was said that as part of their plea agreements, they would have to testify against former county Judge Mark Ciavarella. Former court administrator William Sharkey didn’t. Former Judge Michael Conahan didn’t. Brulo didn’t. What is going on here? Ciavarella still has not admitted to incarcerating our children for profit. We know that other charges he probably should be facing are not possible because of the red tape that the state uses to protect its own. Ciavarella was a county judge but employed by the state; he has immunity. It’s absolutely disgusting that he still is able to turn the law, to use it as he sees fit to benefit himself. Ciavarella and his cronies are proof that the idea of for-profit incarceration cannot work. Where there is money to be made off of keeping these facilities filled, rather than the pure intention of rehabilitating those people who truly are in need, it cannot work. It cannot work in a world full of people in positions of authority who hold money, greed and power above all else, including their consciences. This was a real American travesty. We all need to wake up. We need to take back our county. These were our children, the future of our county. They are still suffering. Please stand with me at Ciavarella’s sentencing. This might be the biggest

DOONESBURY: FLASHBACK

statement that we will make in our lifetimes. Let’s show them the impact he has made, the devastation he has caused. Let’s show them that we will not tolerate the injustice any longer. Let’s make sure that this can never happen again. We need to ensure that the sentencing judge, the honorable Edwin M. Kosik, hears our heartfelt pleas and sentences Ciavarella to the maximum time allowed by law. Then maybe years from now, when he is in prison and has lost all that he loves and has nothing but time, just maybe his conscience will surface, and just maybe he will tell us, tell our children, that he is sorry, that he was wrong. Then, just maybe, we can begin to heal. Sandy Fonzo Wilkes-Barre

Writer sees race as key to gang activity, crime

e will not be able to solve the gang problem in Northeastern Pennsylvania unless we are willing to speak the truth about race and crime. The facts are this: Most of the gangs are predominately made up of black or Hispanic members. Violent crime is disproportionately committed by nonwhites. This region seemingly was a safer place to live until the racial demographic started to change.

W-B visitor: Police nowhere to be seen

spent the weekend of June 3 to 5 visiting Wilkes-Barre, attending a reception at King’s College and staying at a hotel close to Public Square. I spent many daylight and early-evening hours wandering around the center city area, taking countless photographs and seeing the changes that had occurred since I graduated from the college in the early 1970s, before the flood. While walking most everywhere within the quadrant from the Susquehanna River to the former brewery and from North Street to South Street, one thing I noticed that varied dramatically from the many other U.S. cities that I’ve visited is this: There were absolutely no police present that I saw. Not one. None on foot and none in marked patrol cars. None at the Square; none on Main Street; none around either King’s or Wilkes University; none anywhere that I saw. Either I was a victim of consistently bad timing, or – you have a problem. David Rojek Mahwah, N.J.

FLAGPOLE Continued from Page 1A

For more than three years now, the Jessos and Sobolewski have been clearing the cemetery, founded in1870, uncovering hundreds of graves that were nearly lost forever. People dating back to the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and five epidemics that ran through Plymouth in the late 1890s and early 1900s are buried here. Some funds raised Ruth Jesso, 55, said $1,530 has been raised to date for a new flagpole. The cost of replacement is $3,076, but that doesn’t include removal of the existing pole. She said the Plymouth Rotary Club has offered financial assistance and the American Legion Post 463 has also donated. The pole sits in the middle of about 15 graves – most of them dating back to the Civil War. Tom Jesso pointed out a large crack in the base of the flagpole and rust can be seen from bottom to the top. More cracks are evident below ground level and atop the pole, where duct tape holds it together. “We’re afraid it’s going to fall over at any time,” Jesso said of the cast iron pole. “We have a ceremony every Memorial Day and we hope to dedicate a new flagpole at next year’s event.” The Jessos live in Orange. Tom is a native of Plymouth. Health problems forced his retirement from the U.S. Postal Service. He and Ruth and Henry have been volunteering at the Shawnee Cemetery for more than three years now and are at the cemetery daily. They have cleared several areas and uncovered hundreds of graves. They have defined paths that help families find gravesites. “The cemetery was turning into woods again,” Jesso said. “We didn’t want that to happen. I was clearing an area just yesterday over the hill there and I found more gravesites.”

The Shawnee Cemetery Preservation Association is raising funds to replace the deteriorating 85-year-old flagpole.

HOW TO HELP

BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

Shawnee Cemetery Preservation Association President Tom Jesso describes the deterioration at the base of the flagpole.

By the time Sobolewski is finished cutting the 13 acres, it’s time to start again. And all graves are cut even if the families are not paid-up members of the association. Since the three began caring for the cemetery, they have discovered there are not 6,000 people buried in the cemetery as was always believed – there are 15,000-plus graves, and many of them have not yet been found. Section by section, the Jessos and Sobolewski are clearing the ground at the cemetery off West Tasks pile up Mountain Road, locating grave The work never seems to stop. markers and researching maps.

Sobolewski points out many of the pioneers who settled in Plymouth are buried in the cemetery. All three are volunteers, but to keep the cemetery clear, it costs money for gasoline for the lawn mowers, paint, equipment repairs and new equipment. Grave markers – often large, heavy granite – have fallen, and the three have turned them upright. “Perpetual care ended a long time ago,” Jesso said.

drinking water, human health and the environment” said Karina Wilkinson, regional organizer for Food & Water Watch, based in Washington, D.C. At the hearing filmmaker Josh Fox of Brooklyn, N.Y., criticized the advisory board. “Six out of seven members of this panel have a financial conflict of interest,” Fox said, referring to ties that members have to the gas industry. Some audience members rose to cheer his comments, while other booed. Fox’s film is “Gasland.” John Deutch is the chairman of the advisory board. According to the Environmental Working Group, a non-profit group, Deutch has received more than $1.4 million in fees from natural gas companies since 2006. Deutch is a professor at the Massachusetts InstituteofTechnologyandaformerdirector of the Central Intelligence Agency. New York resident Susan Dorsey attended the hearing with help for travel costs from an industry group. Dorsey said she was motivated to speak out in favor of drilling after New York put a moratorium on drilling. “We desperately need jobs in all of our upstate counties,” Dorsey said. “This has totally consumed me because of the injustice, the fact that we own the resource but aren’t allowed to develop it.” Political parties have entered the fray, too. On Saturday, the Washington County Republican Party asked local landowners to show up and speak at the meeting.

Raise the flag The 85-year-old flagpole at the Shawnee Cemetery is cracking, so Tom and Ruth Jesso are trying to raise more than $3,000 to purchase and install a new one.

Ruth Jesso keeps track of the work and the expenses on a table she carried with her. She worries about what will happen to the cemetery when she and Tom and Henry can no longer do the job. “We’re here to preserve and restore this cemetery and the graves of the people buried here,” she said. “Many of the graves never see any visitors, but they should be preserved.” Tom said he and Ruth will be at the cemetery every day for as long as they are able. “And I told Henry he can’t think about retiring until he’s 85,” he said. “We can’t let this cemetery go and return to woods.”

Pa. Senate eyes gas fee bill HARRISBURG — Call it an impact fee or call it a tax, but a bill to tap into the money flowing from Pennsylvania’s natural gas drilling boom is scheduled for consideration by a state Senate committee this week. The proposal by Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson, was scheduled for the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee’s meeting on Tuesday. Scarnati, who describes his proposal as an impact fee, estimates it would bring in $121 million over the next nine months and about $675 million over five years. Most of the revenue would be dedicated to help counties and local municipalities repair roads, perform environmental cleanup and improve sewer and water plants. It also would support the work of conservation districts

and statewide environmental and infrastructure projects. “This money will ensure communities impacted by the drilling will have the resources necessary to address a wide range of local concerns, and at the same time not push this welcomed economic development to other states,” Scarnati said in an opinion piece about the bill three weeks ago. Drillers would have to pay at least $10,000 a year for each well, and more, depending on production levels and the cost of natural gas. Scarnati’s bill requires the Public Utility Commission to produce a model zoning ordinance, and local governments that exceed that ordinance would not be eligible for impact fee revenue. Environmental Resources and Energy Committee Chairwoman Mary Jo White, RVenango, plans to pursue an amendment that would alter Scarnati’s per-well fee.

The Democratic Party of Pennsylvania responded on Monday withane-mailthataccusedRepublican officials of “coordinating with the gas industry to ‘Astroturf”’ the meeting. The Marcellus Shale formation, a rock deposit that contains what is believed to be the nation’s largest-known reservoir of natural gas,

lies primarily beneath Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Ohio. Pennsylvania is a center of activity, with more than 3,000 wells drilled in the past three years and thousands more planned in the coming years as thick shale emerges as an affordable, plentiful and profitable source of natural gas.

Waverly Elementary, the administration building, Clarks Summit Elementary and Newtown Ransom Elementary, before returning to Abington Heights Middle School. She was greeted by her classmates, who lined the sidewalks with signs congratulating her on her achievement. “It was really amazing. I couldn’t believe that everyone was out here supporting me and cheering me on,” said Roy. “And, it was really great to be back because I really did miss Abington Heights Middle School in the two weeks I was away. So, it was so great to be back and see all these familiar faces and see the school again.” An assembly was held in the school auditorium with a video highlighting Roy’s journey, from winning the spelling bee to her appearances on CNN, ABC’s “Live! With Regis and Kelly” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and her meeting in the Oval Office with President Barack Obama. “The one word I think we all know how to spell is ‘pride,’ and that’s what this is all about today, pride,” said Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O’Brien. O’Brien and fellow Commissioner Michael Washo were two of the special guests at the assembly.

chak, that declared Monday, June 13, 2011, “Sukanya Roy Day in Lackawanna County.” Other special guests in attendance Monday were Abington Heights School District Superintendent Michael Mahon and state Sen. John Blake’s regional director, Lawrence D. West. Blake introduced a state Senate resolution honoring Roy for winning the Scripps National Spelling Bee. West extended an invitation to Roy and her family to receive the resolution on the Senate floor in Harrisburg some time next week. Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley and Gov. Tom Corbett were unable to attend the assembly, but each sent a proclamation congratulating Roy on her achievement. The proclamations were read by Abington Heights Middle School Assistant Principal Eduardo Anotonetti. Mahon took the opportunity to encourage the rest of the students in attendance to look at Roy’s achievement as inspiration to fuel their own success. “Perhaps through one of the students in this room is a worldclass novel, or perhaps there will be an extraordinary piece of music produced in this room. Perhaps someone who is working so hard in our robotics program will develop something that will change the lives of thousands of people,” said Mahon. “Maybe that will happen, because we know that it can. And, more fundamentally, it is unlikely that any of us will be in the Oval Office any time soon, but her example tells us that all of us can do great things.” Also in attendance were Roy’s parents, Abhi and Mousumi Roy. elty.” On Saturday, Kelchak said she and her daughter have vehemently protested her commitment because they do not believe she displayed behavior that rose to the level to warrant such a drastic action. Kelchak said Peltz’s death and KidsPeace’s refusal to let her attend the funeral have made her daughter’s situation worse, since she had not spoken to her father since May when she was involuntarily hospitalized under the authority of Children and Youth. Representatives from KidsPeace and Children and Youth said they are not permitted to discuss Jessalyn’s hospitalization. The judge also said that if Kelchak wishes to contest her daughter’s stay at the KidsPeace hospital in Lehigh County, a separate petition must be filed in Lehigh County Court, which Drumheiser said he intended to do. “(Jessalyn) will be a very different person and will live a very different life because of what she’s having to endure now,” Drumheiser said.

when the ATV he was driving was struck by a car on state Route 924 in Hazle Township. “We’re a little disappointed today,” Phillip Drumheiser, an attorney for Kelchak, said of Monday’s hearing, adding that Jessalyn was not permitted to participate in the hearing either in person or by phone. Drumheiser said Jessalyn will be allowed to visit with her family an hour before funeral services, attend the funeral and return back to KidsPeace an hour and a half after her father’s burial. A family viewing will be at 10 a.m. Thursday, followed by a service at Turnbach Funeral Home in Hazleton and interment at Weatherly Cemetery. Jessalyn, Drumheiser said, will be escorted by Luzerne County Children and Youth and KidsPeace workers. “Every step is painful,” Drumheiser said. “And it’s a hardness of hearts of Children and Youth to drag it out.

NO-HITTER PUTS TIGERS IN FINAL

The Bruins score four times in the first period to even the series with Vancouver at 3-3. By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer

BOSTON — The Boston Bruins put Roberto Luongo and the Stanley Cup back on the shelf. After another home scoring spree against Vancouver’s wildly inconsistent goalie Monday night, the Bruins are making one last trip west for the big finish to these BRUINS dramatic Stanley Cup finals. Brad Marchand, Milan CANUCKS Lucic and Andrew Ference scored in the first 8:35 to chase Luongo from his second straight game in Boston, and the Bruins emphatically evened the finals with a 5-2 victory in Game 6, sending the series to a decisive Game 7 in Vancouver on Wednesday night. For the sixth time in the last 10 seasons, the finals have been stretched to their limit. The home team hasn’t lost in this series, with Vancouver winning

Tunkhannock players rush out of the dugout after the final out of the Tigers’ 9-0 win over Blue Mountain in the PIAA Class 3A semifinals Monday at King’s College’s Lipo Field.

BLUE MOUNTAIN By LINDSAY KRAMER For The Times Leader

He looked to be back in full, powerful swing SYRACUSE again on Monday.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. — Mike Papi had given all he had. The Tunkhannock senior, making his first start on the mound in a full year, had been brilliant through six innings – no runs, no hits, two walks and 10 strikeouts. What he had left was a pep talk. As Chase Knott prepared to take his place on the mound for the final frame, Papi went right up to him. “Let’s go, kid. You gotta bring all

you got,” Papi said. Knott wasn’t just pitching to close out a trip to the first state championship game in team history, but to get there in style with a

no-hitter. The Tigers did just that, as Papi and Knott put up all zeros in a historic 9-0 win over Blue Mountain in the PIAA Class 3A semifinals on Monday at King’s College’s Lipo Field. “Can’t even put into words,” Tigers coach Gary Custer said of the experience. “These guys earned every minute of it.” Papi and Knott, a junior, combined for seven innings of no-hit ball, striking out 12. They faced just

two batters over the minimum and were right at the center of the celebration of the biggest win in team history. The biggest so far. Now the Tigers have a shot at winning the whole thing. Tunkhannock will face Northern York, the No. 3 seed out of District 3, for the 3A state title on Friday at Penn State’s Medlar Field in State College. The Polar Bears upset unSee TIGERS, Page 4B

Papi is already a champion HE WAS THREE outs away from completing the game of his life, the kind every pitcher dreams of, the one magical feat that’s kept eluding him even through all his other stardom. The kind of feat he’ll never see again. It was then that Mike Papi made the type of decision that’s made him as legendary around Tunkhannock as the pop in his bat. He pulled himself out. He only needed one more hitless inning to walk away from the PIAA Class 3A semifinals with a seven-inning no-hitter. It was an achievement that seemed

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION inevitable, given the way Papi silenced Blue Mountain batters on no hits and no runs and 10 strikeouts through the first six innings of Tunkhannock’s 9-0 victory at King’s College’s Lipo Field. Then, amazingly, Papi left the last inning for teammate Chase Knott to pitch. “It was more my choice,” Papi said. “We started hitting the ball and I started to get S. JOHN WILKIN/THE TIMES LEADER a little tight.” Tunkhannock’s Mike Papi had the line of a lifetime in Monday’s PIAA Class 3A If the outcome was more in doubt, it’s a See SOKOLOSKI, Page 4B

How about the night that driver George Napolitano Jr. had this past Friday! The defending driving champion at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs broke a long-standing record of Walter Case’s, with 11 driving winners on one program. Case formerly held the record at 10. Not only did Napolitano win 11 races, he also won both $60,000 Open Trots on the card. It was just an unbelievable night for George, one for the record books and also one for the memory bank for sure. BEST BET: BAD TIME (9TH) VALUE PLAY: COLIN POWER (7TH)

DETROIT — Ramon Santiago’s RBI triple in the bottom of the 10th inning gave Detroit a win over the Tampa Bay Rays, keeping the Tigers in a virtual tie for first place on the eve of their big series against Cleveland. With one out in the 10th, Victor Martinez singled off Kyle Farnsworth (2-1). Santiago followed with a drive to the gap in right-center. Center fielder B.J. Upton did his best to run the ball down, but Martinez scored just before the relay to the plate. NATIONAL LEAGUE Pirates 3, Mets 1

PITTSBURGH — Paul Maholm pitched seven shutout innings, Brandon Wood homered and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the New York Mets to split their four-game series. Maholm (3-7) lowered his ERA to 3.12, allowing only three hits and two walks. Hampered by poor run support, he won for just the second time since April 25. New York starter Mike Pelfrey nearly matched Maholm, giving up two runs and four hits in seven innings. He did not

outburst that was needed because manager Dave Miley knew he’d be putting a patchwork string of pitchers on the mound. “You have to start with something. I tried to start it up,’’ Montero said. “Thank God I hit a home run right there, then everyone started hitting.’’ First baseman Jorge Vazquez, second baseman Kevin Russo, center fielder Greg Golson and designated hitter Gustavo Molina each contributed a pair of hits. Kontos was perfect through three innings before giving up a solo shot in the fourth. CoryWade,whowassignedearlier in the day after a previous release from the Tampa Bay organization, pitched 1 2/3 shutout innings to get credit for the win.

NEW YORK — Derek Jeter limped off the field with a sore right calf four innings after getting his 2,994th hit, and Carlos Carrasco escaped early trouble to pitch the Cleveland Indians past the New York Yankees 1-0 Monday night. There was no immediate word on the severity of Jeter’s injury. He was noticeably hurt as he jogged toward first base during a flyout in the fifth and left the game, stalling his pursuit to become the 28th big leaguer to reach 3,000 career hits. Teammates, fans and even Jeter himself had said it would be nice to achieve the milestone at Yankee Stadium. New York has three games against Texas left on this homestand, then goes on a six-game road trip to Wrigley Field in Chicago, and Cincinnati.

walk a batter. Neil Walker had two RBIs as Pittsburgh (32-33) moved within a game of .500. For the second time in three days, the Mets (32-34) missed an opportunity to reach .500 for the second time since April 9. Cubs 1, Brewers 0

CHICAGO — Darwin Barney scored on a fielder’s choice in the eighth inning for the game’s lone run as the Cubs topped the Brewers. Aramis Ramirez grounded to Brewers shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt with one out, but the throw to catcher Jonathan Lucroy wasn’t in time to tag Barney, who dived over home plate for the score. Cubs reliever Jeff Samardzija (4-2) worked one inning for the win, while Carlos Marmol picked up a save in the opener of a four-game series. Brewers reliever Kameron Loe (2-6) also pitched one inning and took the loss. Astros 8, Braves 3

HOUSTON — Hunter Pence returned from a day off with back trouble and homered and drove in four runs as the Houston Astros snapped a four-game skid with a win over the Atlanta Braves. Pence missed his first game this season on Sunday while dealing with tightness in his lower back. He said before the game that he felt great and then quickly showed it by extending his career-best hitting streak to 23 games with a two-run homer off Derek Lowe (3-5) in the third inning. Diamondbacks 12, Marlins 9

MIAMI — Miguel Montero hit three doubles and drove in four runs, and pitcher Zach Duke hit a two-run homer for the Arizona Diamondbacks in a win over the Florida Marlins. Juan Miranda had three RBIs and Justin Upton knocked in a pair for the Diamondbacks, who have won four of five. The Marlins have lost 11 of 12, finishing 1-10 on their homestand despite a season-high 16 hits. needed for a recall to New York. Kontos, a starter earlier in his career, had no problem with the change in plans. “I’ve always been somebody who is pretty resilient,’’ he said. “Even as a starter, I’ve been able to get loose quickly. I just knew my pitch count wasn’t going to be as high as normal starters. I just went out there and attacked the strike zone.’’ Besides getting knocked dizzy in the collision, Montero had also been slowed by a subsequent eye infection. He missed four games, andhisonlyappearanceinthefirst two games of the Syracuse series wasasapinch-hitter.Butinthetop of the third he changed a scoreless game with his opposite-field blow to right, off an outside fastball from Chiefs starter Tom Gorzelanny. “I like to hit the ball every single time to right field,’’ Montero said. “That’s the way I like to hit. That’s the way I was born.’’ Montero also helped keep a crucial run off the scoreboard. In the

bottomoftheseventhandtheYankees up 5-3, Syracuse’s Chris McConnell drilled a two-out double off Wade. Matt Antonelli followed with a single to Golson in center, who launched a rocket toward home. The throw was a bit high, but Montero held his hands at his sides until the last minute and suckered McConnell into not sliding. Montero then snagged the throw and tagged McConnell on the head to end the inning. “I just waited for the ball all the way. Maybe if he slides, he’s safe,’’ Montero said. The Yankees added a three-run capper in the ninth, on a two-run single from Molina and a RBI single by Vazquez. “It’s good to get things going,’’ Golson said. “We’ve been waiting for that big hit. Once you get the lead, the at-bats get a little easier.’’ NOTES: Besides Wade, the Yankees picked up another new pitcher on Monday, lefty Greg Smith. Smith was released by the Rockies in spring training.

credentials for the Conn Smythe Trophy as Boston moved one win away from its first championship since 1972. “He’s been in his zone through the whole playoffs,” Boston coach Claude Julien said. “You can barely count on one hand the bad goals he’s given up in the whole playoffs. We all know that teams that have won the Stanley Cup have had unbelievable goaltending. We feel like we’ve got that.” Thomas has given up just eight goals in six games in a virtuoso performance in the finals — but the spotlight in Game 6 was trained squarely on the other net. After Luongo led Vancouver to the brink of a title with a stellar performance in a 1-0 victory Friday, the Canucks hoped to celebrate in Boston. The Bruins canceled that Garden party with yet another stunning barrage of goals against Luongo, who was ventilated for 15 goals in just over 41⁄2 periods in Boston. Boston even set a finals record

three one-goal games and Boston posting three blowout victories. “I’m proud of the guys,” said Mark Recchi, who had three assists. “We had our backs to the wall, we’ve been resilient all year, and we came out and had a great first period and did what we had to do tonight, and it comes down to Game 7. It’s one game now.” League MVP Henrik Sedin scored his first point of the finals with a late power-play goal for the Canucks, who flopped in their first attempt to win their franchise’s first championship. Maxim Lapierre also scored in the third period for the Canucks, who will get one last try at a Rogers Arena filled with worried Vancouverites hoping their maddening team can come through. Tim Thomas made 36 saves for the Bruins, giving up two thirdperiod goals while burnishing his

Houston’s days in NL numbered? By KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer

HOUSTON — Astros manager Brad Mills has spent time in both leagues and definitely would prefer to stay put. That could change, though, under a realignment plan Major League Baseball is exploring. MLB is considering a proposal that would have 15 teams in the American League and 15 clubs in the National League, as opposed to the present format of 16 teams in the NL and 14 in the AL. Under the possible plan, the leagues would not be split into divisions. The top three teams would make the playoffs. The fourth- and fifthplace clubs would be wild cards and play for one spot. Commissioner Bud Selig’s committee for on-field matters, a panel that includes executives, managers and others, has discussed the change that would take effect in 2012. ESPN first reported the possible realignment. TheAstroswouldbeamongthe teams considered for switching leagues. The last major league team to change leagues was Milwaukee, which moved from the AL to the NL for the 1998 season. The Brewers’ shift came when Tampa Bay and Arizona were added as expansion teams — at the time, baseball didn’t consider it practical to have an odd number of clubs in each league. Mills, in his second year as manager of the Astros, says no one has discussed such a possibility with him. He also says he doesn’t believe such a move is imminent. A former bench coach for the Red Sox, Mills prefers the National League and would like the Astros to remain there. “I like having the pitcher hit and having more guys involved in ball games as pinch runners, pinch hitters, pitchers, your bullpen,” he said. “I think you’re able to get more players in the ball games because of that and it changes the makeup of your ball club.” Star right fielder Hunter Pence has seen the reports, but he isn’t worried because any decisions on realignment would be out of his control. “I like the National League,” he said. “I like where we’re at. I don’t focus on those things at all and I really don’t want to.” Owners and players would have to agree to the plan as part of their talks on a new labor contract, with the current deal expiring this December. Under the potential scenario, five teams from each league would make the playoffs. Selig recently said he expected the postseason field would expand next year, and it seemed likely that a pair of wild-card teams would make it from both leagues. Pittsburgh, 8-5; 8 tied at 7. STRIKEOUTS—ClLee, Philadelphia, 107; Halladay, Philadelphia, 106; Kershaw, Los Angeles, 102; Lincecum, San Francisco, 94; Hamels, Philadelphia, 91; Hanson, Atlanta, 89; AniSanchez, Florida, 87. SAVES—LNunez, Florida,19; Street, Colorado,19; Putz, Arizona, 18; Kimbrel, Atlanta, 18; Axford, Milwaukee, 18; FrRodriguez, New York, 18; BrWilson, San Francisco, 18.

with four goals in 4:14 while chasing Luongo and welcoming his backup, Cory Schneider, with a quick goal from Michael Ryder. The Bruins are one win away from their Original Six franchise’s first championship since 1972. Boston has lost its last five trips to the finals since, never even reaching a seventh game — but the Bruins can hang another banner in the Garden rafters with one road win. And the Bruins have ample experience in Game 7. They’ve already played two in these playoffs, beating Montreal in the first round and Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference finals — but both of those games were at home, where Boston finished the postseason with 10 wins in its last 11 games. If Vancouver can’t regroup in the next 48 hours after another East Coast collapse, the Canucks will waste the best regular season in franchise history and the franchise’s best chance at a championship.

McClain’s timely single keyed outburst By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE TWP. —Tunkhannock sophomore Josh McClain couldn’t have picked a better time to break out of his postseason slump. Batting just .071 through six playoff games and his first atbat Monday, one of the Tigers steadiest hitters during the Wyoming Valley Conference season delivered arguably his biggest hit of his varsity career. McClain’s two-run single in the fourth inning started a sixrun outburst as the District 2 champion Tigers advanced to

the PIAA Class 3A baseball championship game with a 9-0 victory over D11 champ Blue Mountain at King’s College’s Lipo Field. “It was huge, and what an atbat that was,” Tunkhannock coach Gary Custer said. “It was a 3-2 count and kept battling and battling. It was a big hit. He hit a curveball the other way.” McClain sliced a 3-2 pitch into right field, scoring Rich Condeelis and Wes Custer to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead. Condeelis opened the inning with a single and Custer followed with a double.

A couple more hits and three Blue Mountain errors in the inning allowed Tunkhannock to turn a precarious 1-0 lead into a 7-0 advantage. “I felt like I was due, like I was ready for a hit,” McClain said. “I knew I wasn’t going to strike out that time.” McClain was referring to his first at-bat of the game where he was in a similar situation in the second inning. Condeelis led off with a single and Custer moved him to third with another base hit. Although Condeelis scored on a passed ball with McClain at bat, the sophomore

defeated Elizabeth Forward 6-4 in the other semifinal on Monday. The 3A title game is tentatively set for 1 p.m. as the second game of a championship quadrupleheader. That time, however, could change pending a conference call this morning. Tunkhannock has graduation ceremonies at 7 p.m. Friday, and the 3A final may swap places with the Class A title game at 10:30 a.m. to help accommodate the Tigers. For now, though, Tunkhannock (19-2) has a chance to savor a memorable win. Papi, a Virginia recruit who was selected by the Los Angeles Angels in last week’s MLB draft, sports a fastball that tops 90 and had been used exclusively as a reliever this season. His last start on the hill for the Tigers came on June 2 of last year in a District 2 semifinal victory against Wyoming Area. In the 2011 regular season, he had just four appearances out of the bullpen. And those stopped midway through the schedule after he landed hard on his throwing shoulder after a collision in a game against Holy Redeemer.

safe bet he wouldn’t have come out. “If the game was close,” Papi said. But he looked at a scoreboard that said Tunkhannock was safely ahead, and gave way to Knott – who completed the no-hitter. “That’s probably one of the best feelings I’ve ever had in my life,” said Knott, a junior. Funny, but Papi felt just as good about it. He said he’s never thrown a complete-game no-hitter in his life. And knowing this, Tigers coach Gary Custer wrestled with the idea of removing Papi from the mound. “Holy cow, it was a difficult decision, yeah,” Custer said, praising Papi’s pitching performance as being “right up there with the best of them.”

S. JOHN/THE TIMES LEADER

Tunkhannock’s Ty Saylor makes contact against Blue Mountain at Betzler Fields Monday afternoon.

He made his return to the mound in the first round of states, pitching in the seventh against Jersey Shore for the save. But this surprise start was all part of a plan set by the Tigers coaching staff before the state tournament began. “We needed him to get healthy,” Custer said. “We worked our tail off to get him healthy and he worked his tail off to get healthy. This was a big game. “He never missed a beat, but yeah, I was very concerned But Papi figured it was better to stay a little fresher in case the Tigers need him to pitch in their first-ever state championship game Friday than to polish off a complete-game masterpiece in the semifinal round. Even if it spoiled what would have been a historic personal achievement, pitching a no-hitter this deep in the state playoffs. “That just goes to show you what kind of kid he is,” said rallystarting first baseman Rich Condeelis, who had three singles, scored after the first two of them and drove in a run with his final hit. “He’s not out there looking for his glory. He’s looking for the team.” The team looked to Papi to get them to the state title game and save ace starter Mike Healey, despite the fact Papi hadn’t worked as a starting pitcher in more than a year and worked just five innings during his five appearances on the mound this season. “And to come out with a day like that, that’s ridiculous,” said

(about Papi making his first start in a year). He looks good in the bullpen and some live stuff that we do intrasquad, but it’s not the same.” After Papi took a bit to get acclimated, it might as well have been. Papi walked the second batter of the game but mowed down the District 11 champion Eagles from there. “I started really loosening up in the third inning,” Papi said. “Starting from there, I felt really great.” Healey, who’s thrown one gem after another in the postseason and is headed to the University of Connecticut on a pitching scholarship. “I’m not surprised one bit. The kid’s an amazing athlete.” That athleticism earned Papi a scholarship to the University of Virginia, where he’s expected to play in the outfield and not get to be a starting pitcher again anytime soon. So he’s not likely to get another shot at throwing a no-hitter anytime soon. “It was just as good with a combined no hitter,” Papi said. He is a rare high school combination of talent and selflessness, and we saw both in the biggest moment Tunkhannock baseball has ever seen. When it came time to realize a baseball dream, Mike Papi gave it up for the good of his team. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist.

didn’t deliver and struck out looking. The postseason slump was somewhat perplexing considering McClain’s statistics during the WVC season. He hit .483, third on the team only to Mike Papi and Condeelis, adding two home runs and 15 RBI. “I just wasn’t seeing the ball well,” McClain said of his recent woes at the plate. Gary Custer didn’t offer a lot of encouragement to his No. 7 hitter, instead leaning on the upperclassmen for that role. “Credit to the seniors,” Custer said. “They’ve taken these

young guys under their wing this year and talked to them. When it’s coming from a teammate, it means much more than coming from me.” The victory propelled Tunkhannock into Friday’s state championship game against D3 third seed Northern York at 1 p.m. at Penn State’s Medlar Field. The game could start earlier to accommodate Tunkhannock’s graduation later that night. Either way, McClain knows what a trip to State College means. “It’s going to be nuts.”

He didn’t allow another baserunner until giving up a walk in the sixth, as Blue Mountain hitters started to get deeper in the count against him. But Papi picked up his 10th and final strikeout to end the top of the inning. By that point, the Tigers had a 7-0 lead and nearly put things away in the bottom of the sixth thanks to the 10-run rule. Papi (2-3, 2 RBI) drove in a run with a sac fly before the Tigers went up 9-0 and loaded the bases. Blue Mountain (20-5) stayed alive with a double play, however, and Papi would stay in the dugout for the seventh because the wait was affecting his arm. “We started hitting the ball, and I kinda started to get a little bit tight,” Papi said. “We sensed it,” Custer said. “To pull him out of there, it was a tough decision. A very tough decision. But it’s a team sport. … Couldn’t ask for anything more of the kid.” That left it up to Knott to close out the game. Knott had started the Tigers’ first round game in states and had dealt with the nerves that came with that. With a no-hitter on the line, however, this was a bit different. “There was a lot of pressure going on,” Knott said. “You don’t

want to let anyone down.” He didn’t. And neither the Tunkhannock offense. Rich Condeelis led the way, finishing 3-for-4 with an RBI while scoring the first run of the game on a passed ball in the second. “I was just happy to do anything I could do,” Condeelis said, “to give us the chance we wanted the whole season.” Josh McClain hit a two-run single to spark a six-run surge in the bottom of the fourth. Tunkhannock took advantage of three Blue Mountain errors in the inning to take control of the game. Wes Custer and Ryan Goodwin added two hits along with Papi.

Gary Zack competes in the Division III javelin competition.

Ex-Comet Zack wins javelin title

By BILL ARSENAULT For The Times Leader

Gary Zack made the first one count. Zack, a junior at Moravian College, won the javelin throw at the NCAA Division III Championships when his first effort of the day was a school-record toss of 221 feet. Zack (Crestwood), making his third NCAA appearance, had been seeded second to Lars Tenglin of North Park University but he beat Tenglin by two feet,one inch to claim the title earlier this month in Delaware, Ohio, and earn All-American honors. After the winning throw, he fouled on his next two attempts and in the finals, his three tosses couldn’t match his first one. No one in the field could match it,either. “I had much more experience going in this year,” Zack said. “In the other two years I hoped I was going to throw far, but this year I knew I was going to throw far.” Zack gives credit to his coach and close friend Bob Luciano. “Bob trained me to peak as the NCAAs came closer,” Zack said. “He tells me that I am the most dedicated athlete he has ever seen and I take much pride in that.” Zack also looks back at the season with pride. “I won the Landmark meet, won the ECAC meet and set a school record and topped things off by winning the NCAAs,” he said. Zack is also proud of the fact that he earned Academic AllAmerican as well. He’s a nursing major. The 5-foot-11, 200-pounder has a number of plans for the future. “I want to continue to perfect my techniques and training and compete atthe USA Nationals (this summer),” he said. “I also plan on continuing myeducation after graduation next year to study for a Master’s degree in anesthesiology.”

Penguins ink Craig to pact

The Pittsburgh Penguins have re-signed forward Ryan Craig to a one-year contract, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero. The deal is for the 2011-12 season and is a two-way contract worth $525,000 at the NHL level. Craig, 29, recently completed his first season with the Pittsburgh organization, splitting time between the Penguins and their top minor-league affiliate, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League. Craig appeared in six games for Pittsburgh, accumulating 22 penalty minutes. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound forward spent the majority of the 2010-11 season with WBS, where he served as team captain. Craig finished the regular season ranked second on the team with 48 points (19G-29A) in 71 games. He added a team-leading (tied) three goals and a plus-seven rating, while ranking second with seven points (3G-4A), in 12 postseason contests.

RB Green, QB Bolden back in Happy Valley

By GENARO C. ARMAS AP Sports Writer

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State running back Stephfon Green sounded like a man ready to bowl over a linebacker on the way to the end zone. He only spoke at an offseason charity event with teammates, yet the determined senior spoke of redemption after two disappointing seasons in which he was slowed by injuries and overshadowed by career-leading rusher Evan Royster. So, it appears quarterback Rob Bolden isn’t the only Nittany Lion eager to bounce back on a team filled with potential comeback storylines after a hohum 7-6 campaign. “I feel like my name is forgotten,” Green said in between handshakes and autographs at the Pennsylvania Special Olympics opening ceremonies last week. “So, that’s why I have to re-establish myself and redeem myself.” On Monday, some Nittany Lions, including Bolden, returned to Happy Valley for offseason workouts, and to get ready for the second academic summer session. The returnees rejoined others including Green, who voluntarily stuck around after the spring semester ended. But Bolden’s “will-he-orwon’t-he-go” saga has been closely watched among hardcore blue-and-white followers after the quarterback left open the possibility of transferring at the end of spring practice. But that’s apparently settled ... for now. Also returning was a third quarterback, Kevin Newsome, who, too, entertained thoughts of leaving after being leapfrogged on the depth chart by Bolden and Matt McGloin. Promising redshirt freshman Paul Jones is back, as well. The pecking order at quarterback apparently hasn’t changed

CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK/FOR THE TIMES LEADERE

Kelsey Mundenar makes this catch in the begining of the game for the East team.

Konopki bows out with big night at the plate Times Leader staff

DALLAS TWP. – Dallas softball head coach Joyce Tinner had one last opportunity to send off the six seniors who helped lead the Mountaineers to several championships in the last four years on a high note at W.W. Kubis Memorial Field. Sarah Konopki helped make sure that happened. Konopki finished with two doubles, two walks and four RBI and was named the Most Valuable Player as the West defeated the East, 16-8, in the 32nd Annual Robert L. Dolbar Senior All-Sta Game, which featured the top senior players in the Wyoming Valley Conference game. “It was nice to go out with a win,” said Tinner. “It’s going to

be hard to replace these six kids. They mean a lot to the progam and a lot to the coaching staff.” Konopki was thrilled to receive the West’s MVP award. “It feels really good,” she said. “It’s sad to be leaving though, but it was fun to bond with everybody for last time. Coughlin’s Kendra Hayward was named MVP for the East squad, scoring four runs and stealing three bases. Hayward

had similar feelings about her teammates, some of whom she has played against throughout her high school career. “I will take away the friendships and bonds made with my all my teammates,” Hayward said. “I’m not sure if I’m going to be playing in college, so to go out with that kind of a bang feels really good.” Dallas pitcher Kristan Baker picked up a complete-game win

on the mound and scored two runs on offense while Tunkhannock’s Mallory Getts added a solid performance at the plate, going 3-for-3 with four runs scored for the West. The East’s Alexandra Hoops from Crestwood went 2-for-5 with two runs and an RBI and Coughlin’s Alyssa Wincek tallied two singles and an RBI. While Tinner admitted the win felt like a great way to say goodbye to her seniors, she said the opportunity for all the girls on her East team to play with each other mattered just as much. “It’s nice because they actually get to battle with girls they normally play against all season,” said Tinner. “It was nice to get together one last time.”

— not surprising since preseason camp is still about seven weeks away. Coach Joe Paterno narrowed the field in the spring to Bolden and McGloin, but declined to name a starter. And now, with that situation still cloudy, the focus has shifted to running back. With four successful seasons under his belt, Royster has gone to the NFL after rewriting the Penn State rushing record book. Sophomore Silas Redd might be the heir apparent after a promising freshman season in 2010. But Green hopes to corral some carries, as well. A speedster from the Bronx, N.Y., Green’s biggest problem has been health. He’s had ankle problems throughout his career, and also suffered a concussion and a neck injury last season. In the spring, Green was limited with a right shoulder injury. His production has declined steadily, from 105 carries and 578 yards his freshman year in 2008, to 71and 319 in 2009, to 48 and 188 last season. “I’m 100-percent healthy,” he said. “I’ve been doing everything for a while now.” With good reason. After all, he senses opportunity. Green said he’s been focusing this offseason on agility, footwork, blocking and being a “student of the game, doing the little things.” Those sound like answers straight out of the JoePa playbook. “I can’t say I’m not happy. I am. It’s my last season and I want to put all my marbles in,” Green said. “The last good season I remember having is my redshirt freshman year. Since then, I haven’t had a good year. “So, I’m just looking for a lot of redemption.” Besides Redd and Green, Penn State should also have redshirt junior Brandon Beachum and sophomore Curtis Dukes back at running back this fall.

Pryor signs contract with noted agent Rosenhaus By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has hired Drew Rosenhaus as his agent and has taken steps toward making himself available for an NFL supplemental draft. Pryor’s lawyer, Larry James, said Monday that Pryor was in Miami and had signed an agreement with Rosenhaus, a high-powered agent who represents some of the biggest names in sports. His client list includes standout wide receivers Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco along with former Ohio State running back and Pryor teammate Chris “Beanie” Wells, now with the Arizona Cardinals. “I am happy that he has reached this point and he’s in secure hands,” James said of Pryor. Pryor, James and at least two other people spent the past few days discussing the quarterback’s options in terms of agents. Then Pryor flew to Miami on Sunday and signed a contract with Rosenhaus late on Monday morning. James also formally notified Ohio State that Pryor had signed with an agent, which officially made the three-year starter ineligible in the eyes of the university and the NCAA. That clears the way for the next step in Pryor’s hopes of making it into the NFL. “The university declares him ineligible,” James said. “Therefore, that is a prerequisite to being eligible for the supplemental draft.” Pryor announced last week that he would not return to the team for his senior season. He had already been suspended by Ohio State and the NCAA for the first five games of the 2011 season for accepting improper benefits in the form of cash and discounted tattoos from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner.

McDermott was golf trendsetter By EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer

BETHESDA, Md. — Johnny McDermott arrived at the golf course without fanfare — virtually unnoticed, to be more precise — dropped off by his sister near the front door. The assistant golf pro at the Overbrook Golf Club was scheduled to meet McDermott at the door, take him to the course and play nine holes, the way they did every Saturday and Sunday when the weather was good. “It was him and me and one caddie and that was it,” said the golf pro, Jerry Pisano, who worked at Overbrook, one of the very first country clubs on this side of the Atlantic, situated near the Main Line just outside Philadelphia. “No real conversation to speak of, except maybe a little bit about golf. I was always interested in trying to figure out his past, what happened to him over in Europe, but I never could get any definitive answers.” Very few could. But before Arnie had an army or Nicklaus had won any of his 18 majors or Tiger turned golf into front-page news, Johnny McDermott set the standard for American golf. At 19, the diminutive kid from West Philly became the first American to win the U.S. Open in a sport dominated by the British. This year marks the 100th anniversary of McDermott’s groundbreaking win. But even today, a century later, McDermott’s sudden rise and equally quick fall remain a mystery to most. Within five years of his crowning moment, he was all but gone from professional golf, assigned to a home for mentally ill patients, driven crazy — legend has it — by a series of mishaps that cut short a career that could have been for the ages. More than four decades after McDermott’s decline, Pisano spent the better part of a year playing on weekends with the two-time champion (he also won in 1912), who remains the youngest person to win the U.S. Open. They played hour after hour of golf without really saying a word. “It was two different worlds,” Pisano said. “He knew his golf. He could talk golf to you — ’I cut that one a little, turned that one over.’ Talking about anything other than that, practically, he was not able to do that. It was ’Yes,’ ’No,’ and that was about it.” McDermott used old clubs with hickory shafts, a woodshafted Bobby Jones putter and a double-overlap grip in which on-

ly eight fingers touched the club. He was 5-foot-8, weighed maybe 130 pounds but could swing as hard and hit the ball as far as any of them back in his day. He had what was described as a “wristy” swing, one that would be frowned upon in this day and age, where the players and their swings all seem to come out of a factory. But in an era well before golf coaches and swing gurus and video, McDermott learned his game in the dirt on the practice fields near his home in Philly. Had the game — and the hype — been what it is now, McDermott might have been trumpeted as the leader of “The Next Generation of American Golf.” Instead, he was part of America’s first generation, alongside Walter Hagen and Francis Ouimet, the 1913 U.S. Open winner whose victory is widely credited for giving golf its popular start in the United States. Hagen and Ouimet went on to long, successful careers. McDermott’s was all but over by 1916. It started unraveling three years before. After crushing the greats of the sport — Brits Alex Smith, Harry Vardon and Ted Ray — at a U.S. Open tuneup tournament in Shawnee, Pa., McDermott was quoted as saying: “We hope our foreign visitors had a good time, but we don’t think they did, and we are sure they won’t win the National Open.” It was a show of brashness and bravado that fit McDermott’s personality, but he claimed his words had been taken out of context, that he had only been joking. The USGA, shocked by the behavior, considered barring McDermott from the U.S. Open but let him play. But the damage had been done. According to a New York Times account, McDermott “worried greatly over the affair and has almost broken down under the strain.” Meantime, McDermott’s financial picture had grown

worse, as the investments he made with his earlier U.S. Open winnings sank. In 1914, hoping to climb back atop the golf world, he headed across the Atlantic for the British Open, but missed the ferry and train he needed to catch to get to qualifying. His return home on the Kaiser Wilhelm II was disrupted early when a grain carrier hit the ship in the English Channel. The ship made it back to land in Britain, but not before McDermott and a number of other passengers were sheltered in lifeboats. “Physically, McDermott was OK, but his mind was fragile,” Bill Fields wrote in a stirring account of McDermott’s life in Golf World magazine. “Everything had hit within a year,” McDermott’s sister, Gertrude, is quoted as saying in the magazine. “First the stock failure, then the awful results of the Shawnee tournament, then the Open and finally that wreck.” McDermott played in the 1914 U.S. Open but finished ninth. “The indomitable — some would say abrasive — self-confidence that had always marked his demeanor was nowhere in evidence,” wrote James Finegan

in ’A Centennial Tribute to Golf in Philadelphia.’ That turned out to be McDermott’s final major. Later that year, his parents checked him into a mental hospital for the first time. In June 1916, his mother committed him to the State Hospital for the Insane in Norristown, Pa., where, according to Golf World, she was ordered to pay $1.75 a week “for support of said lunatic in said Hospital, until further notice.” McDermott dabbled in golf for the rest of his life — on a six-hole course built on the grounds of the hospital, in a few more professional tournaments and on outings such as the ones he made to Overbrook during the summers of 1956 and ’57. Pisano was a pretty good pro himself and a student of the game. He played in four U.S. Opens, beginning in 1962, when Jack Nicklaus won his first major, beating Arnold Palmer in a playoff at Oakmont. Pisano said the scene of McDermott walking through the door at Overbrook more than 40 years after his U.S. Open win wouldn’t hold a candle to watching Palmer or Nicklaus walk into any golf club today.

BETHESDA, Md. — Fred Funk felt as if he had won the U.S. Open, his voice cracking when he tried to speak, the tears flowing moments later. He didn’t earn a trophy that day, only a tee time. That’s how much this major championship means to him. That’s why he made the effort to go through 36 holes of qualifying when there are plenty of signs that he should sit this one out. Funk turns 55 on Tuesday. He had knee replacement surgery more than a year ago, and now is dealing with tissue that connects the hip to the knee and is causing him great pain. That explains why he hasn’t made it to the final two rounds in any of the six PGA Tour events he has played this year, and why he only had two top 10s on the 50-and-older Champions Tour. So why punish himself in a U.S. Open qualifier against kids half his age? For starters, Funk grew up not far from Congressional, a course that at one time in life he could only dream of playing. He was the college golf coach at Maryland. He wound up playing his first PGA Tour event at Congressional. And this surely would have been his last chance playing in the U.S. Open before a hometown crowd. That explains his reaction when he narrowly qualified. “The first question I get is, ’What does this mean to you?’ And I broke down,” Funk said. “I didn’t really expect that because I didn’t know I had that kind of feelings, or emotion, in me for that. But I think it was a combination of things — how I’ve been playing the last few months, and then making it here, my hometown.

“It meant a lot to me because it’s my hometown, and Congressional is a very special spot. It’s pretty neat.” No other major has so many dreamers, from the 13 amateurs in the 156-man field to the 28 players who had to go through 18hole local and 36-hole sectional qualifying. The last player to win the U.S. Open after going through both stages of qualifying was Orville Moody in 1969 in Houston. Despite a career that features The Players Championship among his eight PGA Tour victories, Funk could fall into that category. He is the oldest player at Congressional this week. On a course that measures 7,574 yards on the scorecard, Funk was among the shortest (albeit straightest) off the tee even when he was young. And he has nearly 10 years on the oldest U.S. Open champion in history; Hale Irwin was 45 when he won at Medinah in 1990. A dreamer? Funk isn’t buying that. He found something at that qualifier last week. Instead of worrying about his mechanics, he went back to enjoying himself. And with his 15-year-old son Taylor on the bag — he will also caddie at Congressional — Funk played like he was back in his prime. After getting into the U.S. Open, he closed with a 62 on Sunday in a Champions Tour event to finish in a tie for third. “Nobody knows how good they’re going to play, but I still have high expectations,” Funk said. “I’m not here just to walk two rounds or four rounds and just show up. I want to be able to be competitive, and I truly believe I can still be competitive when I’m playing well and feeling good.”

How goes consumer spending? The Commerce Department’s report on retail sales during May will show how much consumers have cut back on spending on cars, restaurants, clothing and other nonessentials because of more expensive gas. Economists are expecting the report to show that sales fell. The good news is that gas is getting cheaper, and that should encourage consumers to spend more on the non-essentials in the coming months. That in turn would help the economy regain its momentum.

EBay Inc. will settle suits from GSI shareholders

EBay Inc. on Monday said it will pay about $27 million to settle lawsuits by shareholders of GSI Commerce Inc., which eBay is acquiring, that accused the companies of shortchanging GSI shareholders. Under the settlement, eBay will pay about 33 cents per share to GSI shareholders when the deal closes, in addition to the $29.25 per share that’s due for the acquisition. The deal has a total value of $2.4 billion. GSI Commerce, based in King of Prussia, Pa., runs websites for retailers including Toys R Us and Bath & Body Works. One of GSI’s subsidiaries is Wilkes-Barre-based Pepperjam. Shareholders led by the Erie County Employees Retirement System had said the deal put the interests of GSI’s management above those of shareholders, because eBay is selling GSI’s licensed sports merchandise business and 70 percent of ShopRunner and Rue La La to GSI’s CEO when the deal closes. EBay, based in San Jose, Calif., says the businesses are “not core to its long-term growth strategy.” A special shareholders meeting to vote on eBay’s offer will be held on June 17 in King of Prussia. The deal is expected to close that day. GSI shareholders of record on May 9 will be allowed to vote at the meeting.

VF plans to make Timberland part of its outdoor and actions sports business, and it said Timberland’s headquarters will remain in Stratham, N.H. With the addition of Timberland, VF’s outdoor and action sports business, which also includes Vans, Jansport, Eastpak and other brands, will make up 50 percent of the company’s total revenue. They expect that to grow to 60 percent by 2015. Greensboro, N.C.-based VF said the boards of both companies have approved the deal. It expects the sale to close during the third quarter.

Baggage fees help airlines

U.S. airlines collected $3.4 billion in bag fees last year. The 24 percent increase from 2009 shows how the airlines are increasingly reliant on charging for once-free services to make money. The fees — typically $50 round-trip for the first piece of checked luggage — are one of the few bright spots for an industry that is caught between rising fuel costs and customers who expect rock-bottom airfares. “If it weren’t for the fees, the airlines would most likely be losing money,” said Jim Corridore, airline analyst with Standard & Poor’s. That’s little comfort to fliers who’ve felt nickel-and-dimed by the airlines over the past three years as fees have proliferated. And as they face higher airfares and packed planes for travel this summer.

Wendy’s Inc. loses its appetite for Arby’s By CHRISTINA REXRODE AP Business Writer

I N

Best Buy’s earnings will provide more information about how comfortable consumers are with spending on the extras. It’s also expected to provide an update with the company’s increasing focus on tablet computers and smartphones. In its last earnings report, the electronics retailer said consumers were buying fewer expensive flat-screen TVs and notebook computers. But they were buying more smartphones and Apple’s iPad. The shift has led Best Buy to open smaller stores.

NEW YORK — The marriage of square burgers and roast beef sandwiches is about to end. Wendy’s/Arby’s Group Inc. said Monday it will sell a majority stake in its struggling Arby’s brand to Roark Capital Group, the Atlanta private equity firm. The move marks the end of a

short-lived union between the two fastfood chains, and represents a role reversal. Arby’s started as the suitor in the relationship, and ended up on the chopping block. In an interview with the Associated Press, Wendy’s/Ar-

by’s Group CEO Roland Smith said the 2008 combination of the two fast-food chains had “absolutely not” been a failure. “I think that at the time we put the two brands together it was the exact right thing to do,” Smith said, “but any business that continues to do well and perform has to be nimble and adapt to what the market is.” Wendy’s/Arby’s shares rose

14 cents, or 3 percent, to $4.66 in late-morning trading, as investors signaled their pleasure with having more clarity about the company’s future. But the shares remain well below $5.90, their price on the day the combination was announced in September 2008. Roark, which already owns Moe’s Southwest Grill, Cinnabon and other restaurants, will

pay $130 million in cash for an 81.5 percent stake in Arby’s. It also will assume $190 million worth of Arby’s debt. Smith said Wendy’s/Arby’s, based in Atlanta, entertained offers from “quite a number” of bidders, but he declined to give details. He said the company’s decision to keep an18.5 percent stake in Arby’s should signal its confidence in Arby’s future.

Experts: Economy needs time

CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY

By PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer

S.JOHN WILKIN/THE TIMES LEADER

The Perkins Restaurant in Wilkes-Barre Township is one of several franchise operations in the area that will not be impacted by Perkins & Marie Callender’s Inc.’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on Monday.

Regional Perkins will keep on serving

Monday filing will not result in the closing of any of area’s franchises. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

Monday’s filing by restaurant owner Perkins & Marie Callender’s Inc. for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection will have no impact on the future of any of the local franchises. Russ Berner, vice president of operations for JDK Management of Bloomsburg, said the corporate actions will not result in the closure of any of his company’s 20 Pennsylvania franchise restaurants. JDK Management operates Perkins restaurants from Johnstown to Stroudsburg, including those in Pittston Township, Wilkes-Barre Township, Sugarloaf Township, Dickson City, Tunkhannock, Mount Pocono and Bloomsburg. He said he does not expect any supply issues while the bankruptcy court proceedings play out.

“Our pancakes will still be Perkins pancakes,” Berner said. Vivian Brooks, a Perkins corporate spokeswoman, said the company closed 27 corporate-owned Perkins in eight states Sunday. None of the five corporate-owned Perkins in Pennsylvania was shut down. She said none of the company’s 315 franchises were closed. In its court flings, the owner of the Perkins Restaurant & Bakery and the Marie Callender’s chains said it plans to shutter 65 stores and cut 2,500 jobs, or about 20 percent of its work force of 12,350. According to an Associated Press story, the company cited the weak economic climate for the bankruptcy filing. Documents filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware indicated the company could not afford to build new restaurants and upgrade existing ones, so it lost traffic to better-funded restaurant competitors. The two chains were “adversely affected by the languishing economy, including declines in consumer confidence and sluggish consumer spending and in-

creased commodity costs,” CEO J. Trungale said in a statement in November, after its most recent quarterly earnings filing for the period ended Oct. 3, 2010. Food costs have increased since then, pressuring food makers and restaurant chains alike. The Memphis, Tenn., company had assets of about $290 million and liabilities of $440.8 million, according to the bankruptcy filing. Top creditors include The Bank of New York Mellon Trust and law firm Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP. Perkins, now owned by New Yorkbased investment firm Castle Harlan Inc., was founded in 1958 and combined with Marie Callender’s in 2006. Berner said that JDK’s stores “are very solvent and good.” “Our Perkins (restaurants) will continue for many, many years. We’ve really developed this market and have a good foothold,” Berner said. He said business is so good that a new restaurant will be opened in Mansfield this year. “We’re going in a totally opposite direction of corporate,” Berner said.

WASHINGTON — The best cure for the economy now is time. That’s the overwhelming opinion of leading economists in a new Associated Press survey. They say the Federal Reserve shouldn’t bother trying to stimulate the economy — and could actually do damage if it did. The economists are lowering their forecasts for job creation and economic growth for the rest of this year, mainly because of high oil prices. The economists now expect the nation to create 1.9 million jobs this year, about 200,000 fewer than when they were last surveyed eight weeks ago. They expect the unemployment rate, now 9.1 percent, to be 8.7 percent at year’s end. Before, they expected 8.4 percent. Despite their gloomier outlook, 36 of the 38 economists surveyed oppose any further efforts by the Fed to invigorate growth. The Fed has already cut shortterm interest rates to near zero. And it’s ending a program to buy $600 billion in Treasury bonds to keep longer-term rates low to help spur spending and hiring. The economists say another round of bond-buying wouldn’t provide much benefit, if any. And some fear it could make things worse by unleashing high inflation and disrupting financial markets. What the economy needs most, says John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo, is time. Consumers must further shrink huge debts amassed in the mid-2000s. And the depressed housing market needs time to recover from a collapse in prices and sales.

The next big thing, cyberwar, could have an impact on us all HUMANITY HAS, since the dawn of time, continually has found more creative ways to hurt one another. This is a nearly inevitable side effect of the incessant march of technology. And it has, over the course of time, gotten wider in scope and less personal in nature. With the advent of the Internet, a new front has been opened up. The concept is called cyberwar, and if you listen to some security analysts, it is being waged, likely at this very minute, against us, by China and perhaps Russia, and by us, against those same two powers. And most people are totally unaware of it because it doesn’t directly impact

TECH TALK

NICK DELORENZO us ... yet. Cyberwar, simply put, is attempting to harm an enemy by attacking and either disabling or subverting its networks and information systems. But it could be very harmful in the future. Imagine if a team of foreign hackers sabotaged the American power grid, the Internet or our banking systems. It could happen. Fortunately, many crucial military installations are hardened against such attacks or do not have any direct access to outside networks. But the potential for havoc still exists. And the scary thing -- it doesn’t take a wealthy country to do things

like this. Even a relatively impoverished power -- North Korea, for example -- could harm the United States in this fashion. Moreover, it doesn’t even take a country to do this -- a single person, sufficiently talented, can muster the resources to cause terrible problems. Fortunately for us, it hasn’t happened. Right now we’ve been inconvenienced, in some cases financially harmed, by such attacks -- but they haven’t caused any lasting damage. Once again I’ll add “yet.” So what’s the solution? How do we protect ourselves against these things? Well, the Internet is actually pretty resilient to downright failure. Bits and pieces can drop out, but it’s basically designed to stitch itself back together if things like that happen. As for things

like services – electricity and the like – well, that’s one good thing about having an “aging infrastructure.” Most of our services can operate independently of the Internet – banking may be one exception to that. Worst case – be prepared in the same way you would for any natural disaster. Keep a radio around. Buy a generator. Have water on hand. Keep some hard currency around. Better yet, buy some gold or silver. Many of us have come – very quickly – to take the Internet for granted. But we got along just fine for thousands of years without it. And it never hurts to have options if it should ever go away. Nick DeLorenzo is director of Interactive and New Media for The Times Leader. Write him at ndelorenzo@timesleader.com.

bonds to support the economy. No one knows yet if the economy can grow without the Fed's help. If it can’t, be prepared for a correction that could turn into a bear market -- a drop of more than 20 percent. But the savvy investor wouldn’t see a big market drop as all bad. Buying when stocks are down can mean big gains. The low point during last year’s correction came July 2. The S&P was down 16 percent. Someone who bought an S&P 500 index fund on that day finished the year with a 24 percent gain, including dividends. Without dividends, the gain was 23 percent. That was nearly double the S&P 500's total gain for the year of 15 percent including dividends, or 13 percent without.

A correction is a 10 percent drop from a market high. The S&P 500 is down 7 percent since it closed at 1,363.61 on April 29. Corrections are common during bull markets. There have been 18 during 12 bull markets since 1946, according to Standard & Poor's. They have lasted four months and sent stocks down 14 percent, on average. The last one was a year ago. The S&P 500 fell 14 percent between April 23 and Aug. 30. The market then began an eight-month rally. Since the market's peak April 29, more than 15 economic indicators have been weaker than expected. And the Federal Reserve later this month will end its program of buying Treasury

Six weeks ago, the stock market reached its highest point since the financial crisis. Now it seems headed for a correction.

A large area of low pressure in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere has been over the Northeast U.S. since Sunday. That is why we've had the clouds and cooler temperatures. The storm will begin moving east today, but as it does, it will drag down cooler air from Canada. That will likely trigger scattered showers for our area this afternoon. Once the storm pulls tonight, high pressure will build in to provide us with some sunshine and dry weather on Wednesday. Enjoy the break from the heat! - Kurt Aaron

BLACKS AND HIV NUMBERS

African-Americans are the most affected by HIV in the United States. • At the end of 2007, blacks accounted for 46 percent of people living with a diagnosis of HIV infection among state reporting HIV cases. • In 2006, black men accounted for two-thirds of new infections among all blacks. The rate of new HIV infection for black men was six times as high as that of white men, nearly three times that of Hispanic/Latino men, and twice that of black women. • In 2006, the rate of new HIV infection for black women was nearly 15 times as high as that of white women and nearly four times that of Latinas.

Q: I recently saw my eye doctor because I suddenly became very sensitive to light. He said that it was caused by a condition called “Adie’s pupil.” My right pupil is much larger than my left and it won’t get smaller in bright light. Otherwise, I see fine. Is it curable? A: Adie’s pupil is a condition likely due to some sort of viral infection affecting the nerve fibers responsible for constricting the pupil in response to bright light. Other than being very sensitive to bright light in the affected eye (because the pupil can’t properly constrict to decrease the amount of light entering the eye), vision is unaffected. We’re not entirely sure why it happens, or why it seems mostly to affect women in the 25-45 year age group. Another part of the mystery of Adie’s pupil is that some folks also have a reduced or absent knee jerk reflex. Muscle strength is unaffected. Adie’s pupil can be treated with pilocarpine eye drops prescribed by an ophthalmologist. Sunglasses in bright light are a good idea, too. Just as mysteriously as Adie’s can appear, it can gradually disappear over time. In some folks, it may be there to stay. Q: Can you explain how antidepressants work in the brain to help with depression? A: When a person is depressed for a long period of time, chemicals in the brain that normally communicate signals of well-being and good mood to your brain get terribly out of balance. Cells in the front part of the brain (prefrontal area) “talk” to one another via chemical transmitters. The ones involved in mood are serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. These three chemicals are in short supply in a person with major depression. People who are “chemically depressed” find it difficult to “see the forest through the trees.” Antidepressants work by raising the levels of one or more of these transmitters to help bring your brain back into balance. Antidepressants, in conjunction with professional therapy, help you to gain insight into the cause of your depression and facilitate a cure. Antidepressants are not “magic pills.” If it seems like some people are happier than others, there may be an explanation at a genetic level. A gene that regulates the movement of serotonin in the brain has been labeled the “happiness gene” by British researchers with the London School of Economics. There are four ways in which this gene may be expressed. Those with the most DNA coding for the happy gene feel happiest because there are more serotonin transporters within nerve cell membranes. Those with the short version of the happy gene were most likely to describe themselves as dissatisfied with their life. The extent to which we possess “happiness gene” traits is predetermined at birth. Dr. Mitchell Hecht is a physician specializing in internal medicine. Send questions to him at: “Ask Dr. H,” P.O.

HEALTH PEOPLE Dr. Carl J. Urbanski, of Family Vision Care of Kingston, attended the American Optometric Association’s School Readiness Summit in Washington, D.C. The summit examined alarmingly high rates of learning-related vision issues now plaguing America’s children and produced a healthy vision and learning blueprint to replace a broken system that is leaving millions of children to endure the effects of diseases that are treatable and vision loss that is preventable. The work group also produced a joint statement backing comprehensive eye exams for schoolaged children as a foundation for a coordinated and improved approach to addressing children’s vision and eye health issues and a key element for ensuring school readiness.

At Cloud9, our fitness philosophy goes against all you have been told before. One has to question what you have been told and by whom. It seems everyone is a self-proclaimed fitness expert, although not everyone has the physique to back up their philosophies. It is great to question the validity of something.

Healthy fast food items not so healthy By ANDREA WALKER The Baltimore Sun

Think you’re being healthy and saving some calories by ordering the salad or oatmeal? Don’t be so sure, says the nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The group tested the nutritional content of some items that fast food establishments are promoting as healthy. The group found they were far from it. The group found the worst offenders were Wendy’s Baja Salad with almost twice the recommended amount of sodium for an entire day and McDonald’s Fruit & Maple Oatmeal with more calories than a hamburger and more sugar than many candy bars. KFC’s grilled chicken, was also singled out. Marketed to healthconscious consumers as a “betterfor-you” alternative over the chain’s high-fat fried chicken, the

group said the chicken contains a carcinogen called PhIP that has been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer and other cancers. The five worst “healthy” fast food items are: • Wendy’s Baja Salad: contains 1,990 milligrams of sodium — more than should be consumed in an entire day. • McDonald’s Fruit & Maple Oatmeal: Contains more sugar than a Snickers Bar. • Subway Fresh Fit 6 Turkey Breast Sub: With standards such as cheese and mayo, this “low-fat” sandwich jumps to 24 grams of fat. Contains processed meat, which is linked to increased cancer risk. • Sonic Strawberry Smoothie: Contains more sugar than five Twinkies. • KFC Kentucky Grilled Chicken: Contains PhIP, a chemical classified as a carcinogen by the federal government.

BRUSH

• Replace them often. Get a new brush at least once every three or four months, and after each time you’ve been sick, according to the American Dental Association, or ADA. If bristles look worn or frayed, the brush needs to go. Children may need replacements more often than adults. • Consider disinfecting them. Some dentists recommend soaking brushes in an antibacterial mouthwash such as Listerine for five minutes a day. You also can buy an ADA-approved sanitizer machine, which uses ultraviolet lamps or steam and dry heat to fry nearly all bacteria and viruses.

paste and debris. • Store them correctly. Place brushes in an upright position to best air them out. Also keep them at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid contamination with (yuck) airborne particles after a flush. • Don’t share brushes. You’ll be swapping germs with the other user, which can make you sick. If you store more than one brush in the same container, keep their heads separated.

years, but that offered little comfort as she waited for her test results. At the end of the “longest day of my life,” she had to sneak a moment of jubilation. “Bittersweet is an understatement — because the father of my children is positive,” she said. In response to the news that turned their lives upside down, the couple, whose 11-year marriage ended in divorce, has tried to become part of a solution. Jacques Whitfield had not disclosed his HIV status when he spoke with a reporter for a previous Sacramento Bee article in which he discussed his homosexuality. But now, he said, he wants to talk about it to help educate others. “I don’t want anyone to have to go through what I went through,” he said. He serves as a board member and speaker for Sacramento’s Center for AIDS Research, Education & Services (CARES), a one-stop center for AIDS education and treatment. Meanwhile, Nikki Whitfield began speaking up about the alarming number of black women contracting the HIV virus. “How come we are not talking about this?” she remembers

wondering. She talked to her church but felt she had to do more. Three years ago, she hosted a forum about the risks to AfricanAmerican women that attracted 80 professional women. Those women, she said, were like her and had never thought they could get the virus. Her activism earned her a fulltime job with CARES, where she sounds the alarm not just about men on the “down low,” but also urges women to ask men returning from incarceration the brutally tough — but essential —

Regular grooming keeps dogs healthy and happy

By LISA MOORE McClatchy Newspapers

Although spring temperatures have been rather cool, dogs everywhere are shedding lots of undercoat. Seasonal shedding is triggered by warmer weather and longer days. And depending on your breed of dog, it may be hardly noticeable or you could be living among many pillows of piled-up fur. Seasonal shedding is a natural process, and necessary to maintain a healthy coat. But quite often, dogs need a little help in getting rid of the damaged or dead coat. Without regular grooming or

groomer or veterinarian. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve attempted to regularly brush your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coat and find it to be tedious or difficult, you may choose to take your dog to a professional groomer. Highly skilled groomers do a lot more than give dogs cute haircuts. They are experts at removing damaged or unhealthy fur and combing out or removing matted coat. A well-educated groomer also can spot skin problems and

sue and drainage from the sores. At this point, the dog needs medical attention. Of course, a bit of preventive grooming can protect your dog from problems associated with shedding. Brushes and grooming tools and frequency of use vary for the length and type of coat your dog has. When in doubt about what tools to use on your particular dog, consult with a professional

growths that may not be apparent when you pet or interact with your dog, and recommend that your veterinarian have a look. Although groomers can and do deal with a lot of matted coat this time of year, they are not miracle workers. If you allow your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coat to get severely matted, the only course of action may be to shave him down, which for many dog owners is an undesirable look. Some mats can be combed out, but it is a labor-intensive, time-consuming process, which will cost you more, and the combing and pulling out of fur can be quite uncomfortable for the dog. For best results, have your dog

groomed regularly regardless of the type or length of coat. If you are unable or unwilling to do it yourself, hand your dog over to a professional groomer, who makes the experience as positive for your dog as possible, and restores your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coat to its healthiest state.

America’s national anthem deserves both your hand and your heart Dear Abby: I was criticized recently for placing my right hand over my heart while the U.S. flag was flown and “The Star-Spangled Banner” was being sung. I was told that the hand over the heart is for the Pledge of Allegiance only, when the flag is present. Is that true, and what is the procedure? — St. Louis Patriot

ADVICE when the flag is displayed, all present ... shall stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. ... When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the manner they would if the flag were displayed there.”

Dear Patriot: No, it is not true. Whoever criticized you was ignorant of the Flag Code, as amended by the 94th Congress and approved July 7, 1976. According to the code, “During the rendition of the national anthem

Dear Abby: I’m a 25-year-old male who, for the most part, has figured out what I want to do with my life. I’m currently working, and I am also considering entering the military to boost my character and resume. I want to eventually become a lawyer

DEAR ABBY

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

so I can help people. Something that irritates my family is my refusal to date. I suffer from anxiety attacks just at the thought of talking to a woman or asking for a date. My older sister asks me when I will marry, and my dad claims I’d be a great father. How can I get my family to understand that I’m not interested in marriage and children? — Loveless in the Southwest

and situations in which you may be required to work as a team. That’s why I strongly suggest that you talk to a mental health professional about your anxiety about women BEFORE enlisting. Marriage and children are not for everyone — and you may be one of those men who should be a confirmed bachelor. But not because you’re afraid of women.

Dear Loveless: I respect your desire to enter the military, boost your character and resume and earn a law degree. But please don’t use the military as a way to escape dealing with your inability to be comfortable with half the human race. If and when you enlist, you will be in a work environment where there are females

Dear Abby: My father has been dead for more than 15 years. Any time my mother sees people she hasn’t seen since Dad’s death, she makes a point of telling them how happy she is now that he’s dead! At my son’s recent wedding reception, I overheard her having this conversation with my brother-in-law.

CRYPTOQUOTE

He made eye contact with me to see if I could hear what she was saying, then shook his head like he couldn’t believe what she was saying. Abby, it’s embarrassing that she does this all the time. If I say anything, I know she’ll get mad at me. Any suggestions? — Can’t Take Her Anywhere Dear Can’t Take Her Anywhere: Yes. Ignore her. Obviously your parents’ marriage wasn’t made in heaven — but her widowhood is. 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). You will succeed in your quest if it is a very simple one. Things have a way of getting overly complicated unless you are vigilant in your efforts to stay focused. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t always have to be the center of attention, which is why friends and family so thoroughly enjoy your presence. You have the perfect balance of give and take. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). An effort to save money could lead to the opposite occurrence. There is no point to being wise with your pennies if it causes you to be foolish with your dollars later on. Think of the big picture. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you want to get to know someone, the onus is on you to make the first move. Don’t think too much about your approach. Work up the courage, and break the ice — everything will flow naturally from there. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t like to talk about your personal boundaries because you are generous. But you do have limits, and if you don’t let others know what they are, someone is likely to take advantage. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be helpful to someone who is going through difficult times. This person would rather be silent than talk about his or her feelings. Your presence is comforting because you understand. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You remember the process of achieving maturity and are therefore compassionate with someone who is coming of age. You also

recognize that each person has to learn in his or her own way. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone gets angry from time to time. It’s how you handle the emotion that matters. You will guide your aggressive impulses in extremely productive ways. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have a strong social sense now. You know when it’s important to blend with the group and also when it’s better to stand out in the crowd. You’ll advance your interests as you apply this social savvy. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are so focused on your task that you do not waste any time worrying or even noticing whether people like you. Well, they do. And the smarter they are the more they appreciate you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Include as many people as possible. Your collaborative efforts will be the springboard that takes you to new places — places you would not reach otherwise. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You probably don’t realize how much your loved ones need your approval and support, and they don’t realize it, either. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 14). You deeply appreciate the small joys that loved ones bring to your life, and you will therefore be favored with a gigantic stroke of luck. August brings a remarkable and unexpected turn of events. Your personal life sparkles with the addition of new friends. You share a special connection with Capricorn and Virgo people. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 13, 37 and 12.
