Corruption case against present and former commissioners goes to jury

For Cordaro, Munchak, the wait begins By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – Despite hours of instruction Monday, it’s likely that the men and women who will decide the innocence or guilt of Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak and former commissioner Robert Cordaro will receive additional clarification on their responsibilities before they begin delib-

jurors on how they are to decide whether Cordaro and Munchak committed extortion, mail fraud, racketeering and some of the other 41 combined counts against them in the public corruption trial that opened June 6. Cordaro Munchak Outside the courthouse Monday evening, Cordaro’s erations this morning. Senior U.S. District Court attorney William CostopouJudge A. Richard Caputo los said the indictment didn’t spent three hours instructing have to be as confusing as the

prosecution made it. “It was structured in such a way that it was convoluted, it was complex… The reason it was done this way was to create some confusion and hope they split the baby,” Costopoulos said. “I’ve been practicing law for 40 years and my head was spinning.” Attorneys representing the prosecution and defense each spent about an hour summa-

rizing the case before Caputo began instructing the jury late Monday afternoon, the 11th day of the trial. As she began her closing remarks, Assistant U.S. Attorney Lorna Graham reminded jurors of the day they held $30,000 in their hand and what a unique experience that was. See LACKAWANNA, Page 12A

Ex-chief loses in top court The U.S. Supreme Court ruling against Guarnieri called win for public employers. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The United States Supreme Court has ruled against former Duryea borough police chief Charles Guarnieri in his sixyear legal battle over his termination. In a unanimous opinion issued Monday, the high court said a lower appellate court erred when it determined Guarnieri did not have to show that he was speaking about a matter of public concern in order to prevail in a federal retaliation lawsuit he filed against the borough in 2005. The ruling is a key victory Guarnieri for Duryea and other public employers nationwide, who feared they would be subjected to a flood of employee lawsuits if the court sided with Guarneri, said attorney Karoline Mehalchick, who defended the borough in the initial lawsuit. Guarnieri was fired in 2003. He filed a union grievance and won his job back about two years later. His lawsuit alleged borough officials retaliated against him for successfully utilizing a union grievance process to win his job back. A jury sided with Guarnieri in 2008 and awarded him $97,358 in damages, which was later reSee GUARNIERI, Page 12A

Ruling: County must rehire axed union workers Decision stems from debate over outsourcing of work. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

A state hearing examiner has ordered Luzerne County to rehire 36 union employees who were cut from the county payroll when their department was outsourced almost a year ago and pay all their lost wages and benefits. A year’s worth of pay for the im-

pacted former employees would total more than $1 million, according to payroll records from 2010. The estimated cost of health insurance for the employees was not available Monday. The ruling stems from an unfair labor practices claim filed against the county last May by employees of the now-defunct county Workforce Investment Development Agency, which provided employment programs for adults and underprivileged youths.

The union – the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, or AFSCME – argued that the county played a role in the outsourcing and failed to negotiate the contracting out of jobs with union workers as required by their collective bargaining agreement. County commissioners maintain the outsourcing was beyond their control because it was initiated and executed by the autonomous Luzerne-Schuylkill Workforce Investment Board.

Hearing examiner Thomas Leonard presided over hearings in September and October and issued a ruling ordering the county to immediately rescind July 1, 2010, contracts with three companies hired through the outsourcing. The county was also ordered to immediately return all the work to the union employees and to make the employees “whole” through the payment of all lost See WORKERS, Page 12A

Massive bias lawsuit vs. Wal-Mart tossed Supreme Court rules in favor of retail giant accused of discrimination against women. By DAVID G. SAVAGE Tribune Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — Women and minorities who think they are underpaid will find it nearly impossible to band together to sue employers for discrimination under a Supreme Court ruling against 1.5 million female Wal-Mart employees in the most important job-bias case in a decade. Only if there is proof a company has a policy of paying less to women or minorities can the employees get together in a class-action suit, the court said in an opinion Monday by Justice Antonin Scalia. Statistics showing that a company’s women workers, in fact, earn far less and get fewer promotions than men will not suffice, the court said. Also Monday, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled out a federal lawsuit by states and conSee WAL-MART, Page 12A

CityVest, county rap audit of Sterling project Controller Walter Griffith finds fault with the way a county loan to develop the old hotel property was handled. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County Controller Walter Griffith released an audit Monday criticizing the nonprofit CityVest and the county’s community development office on their handling of a county loan for the Hotel Sterling project. Both fired back. County Community Development Director Andrew Reilly said the audit contains “multiple errors” that he will publicly correct when he receives the loan paperwork that

Griffith borrowed to complete the audit. The last paragraph of the audit particularly bothered Reilly because it advises county commissioners to complete audits of other funds managed by the ofGriffith fice. Reilly said an external auditor examines spending on all office programs annually. The federal government also conducts routine audits, he said. “The fact that Walter doesn’t know that, I was a little surprised. We’ve had an audit here every single year, and there have been no issues,” Reilly said. Reilly said CityVest, which owns the landmark former hotel in downtown Wilkes-

Barre, did not receive more than $6 million as indicated in the audit. Spending in specific areas deviated from the original budget – another audit finding -- because projects are initiated based on estimates, Reilly said. The board that oversees CityVest released a statement saying the audit contains “factual errors,” such as a statement that CityVest used the county loan money to lease four parking spaces. CityVest leased out spaces, not the other way around, to generate revenue, the board said. “The errors in the report might have been corrected if -- as is routinely done in matters of this nature -- the controller had provided CityVest and the county the opportunity to See STERLING, Page 12A

Pa. Senate moves to reduce liability The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — The state Senate is poised to pass a bill limiting the liability of defendants in civil court cases for negligence — a top priority of business groups and Gov. Tom Corbett. Senators voted 28-22 on Mon-

day to amend an underlying bill. Under the bill, defendants found to be less than 60 percent at fault wouldn’t have to pay more than their share of the damages. Supporters of the amendment say it’ll make Pennsylvania more attractive to prospective employers.

Nuangola sewer money near Borough Council sets a public meeting for next week on a $4.5M financing package.

By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

NUANGOLA – The long-running debate on the proposed sewage collection system for the borough entered another phase Monday when it was announced at a meeting of council that a $4.5 million financing package from Fulton Bank of Lancaster is scheduled to be reviewed next week. Council President Regina Plodwick proposed that a public meeting be scheduled for 7 p.m. June 27. Her motion was unanimously approved. Melissa Weber, secretary-treasurer, was directed to publicly advertise the session, in keeping with the open meeting law. Fulton Bank has been selected by the Nuangola Sewer Authority to finance the proposed project. Previously, there was an issue over a loan in excess of $400,000 that was issued by Fulton to fund a study of an engineering plan that is known as Act 537. The act, which encompass-

es a feasibility plan prepared by Alfred Benesch Engineering, was also the topic of discussion at a public gathering held at The Grove in Nuangola on June 9. Extensive public comment was heard by council on the still-developing project. Plodwick said this meeting as well as discussions with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection produced a series of changes that have been incorporated into the plan. She said, once all the changes and contract permits are issued, it is estimated that work could begin in 2014. In conjunction with this project, council voted in favor of a payment of $1,770 in premiums for an insurance policy secured by the sewer authority. Council approved unanimously to accept a bid from Stell Enterprises, Plains Township, for a surface water runoff project on Rock Island Road. Stell’s bid is $6,108 for the excavation of a swale and installation of piping to provide relief for property owners who complained about runoff during periods of heavy storms. There was some discussion about awarding the bid to a local

contractor, but Councilman John Kochan declared “we’ve been talking about this for some time, let’s get it done.” Kochan also submitted that a performance clause be included in the contract, but it was explained that Stell had already agreed to comply with published specifications set down in advertising soliciting proposals. Overall, four firms submitted bids. In the debate, Councilman Steve Hudak, road and streets chairman, said that an even bigger problem is in the process of being resolved on Bridge Road. He didn’t elaborate, but initially indicated that Bridge Road should have priority over Rock Island. But when comment centered on Rock Island, Hudak voted with the majority. It was announced that, in compliance with an action by Luzerne County, the Don Wilkinson Agency will be the collection agent for the 1 percent earned income tax and it was stated, after questions were raised by Nuangola residents, that Rice Township police, in compliance with established policy, will conduct a background check on two parttime employees recently hired by the road and streets department.

Expanded self-defense law nearing OK Gov. Corbett is expected to sign the bill allowing right to use a gun outside the home. By PETER JACKSON Associated Press

HARRISBURG — The state Senate sent the governor a bill Monday to expand the right to use deadly force in self-defense in Pennsylvania, ending more than a year of often-emotional debate over the role of guns in society. The bill to widen Pennsylvania’s existing self-defense law was approved 45-5 without discussion by the Republican-controlled Senate. Gov. Tom Corbett is expected to sign the measure. “Law-abiding citizens should not have to fear prosecution because they seek to protect themselves from criminals,” said Sen. Gene Yaw, R-Lycoming, a co-sponsor of similar legislation in the Senate. “This measure protects re-

sponsible gun owners, while ensuring that their Second Amendment rights are preserved.” The bill would expand the state’s “castle doctrine” — as in a family’s home is its castle — to allow the right to use a gun or other deadly force in self-defense in situations outside a person’s home or business. Currently, the use of deadly force is not justifiable if the person can safely retreat, except when the threat is made inside his or her home or business. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Scott Perry, R-York, would remove the requirement to retreat as long as the assailant displays a gun or other deadly weapon and the would-be victim legally possesses a gun or other lethal weapon, has a right to be in the place where the confrontation occurs and believes deadly force is necessary to prevent death, serious injury, kidnapping or rape. Also, the legislation would limit

Martha A. Magich June 19, 2011 Martha A. Magich, formerly of Shoemaker Street, Swoyersville, passed away Sunday, June 19, 2011, at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital surrounded by her loving family. Born in Edwardsville, she was a daughter of the late Peter and Nora Nita. Martha was a member of Holy Name St. Mary’s Church, Swoyersville, and most recently a member of Gate of Heaven Church, Dallas. She attended St. Hedwig’s Grade School and was a graduate of Edwardsville High School. Martha worked in the garment industry most of her life before retiring as a housekeeper at Wesley Village. She was preceded in death by

her husband Charles B. Magich Sr. in September 2009; sisters Helen Slavinski and Agnes Nita; brothers Peter, Joseph, Andrew and Alec Nita.

Magich Jr. of Miami Fla.; granddaughters Stephanie and Megan Lyons; sisters Stella Wrobleski, Cazmera Baran and Louise Mollit; brother Leo Nita and numerous nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday at the Lehman-Gregory Funeral Home Inc., 281 Chapel St., Swoyersville, with a Mass of Christian Burial at 10 a.m. at Gate of Heaven Church, Dallas.

certain civil liability in some cases for people who act within the guidelines. If they are sued by the alleged assailant and prevail in court, they would be entitled to an award of legal fees and costs as well as compensation for lost income. One gun-control advocate said the expansion is unnecessary because current law allows the use of a gun in self-defense outside of homes and businesses “if you can’t retreat safely.” The bill’s proponents “are expanding the use of violence in situations where otherwise it could have been prevented,” said Max Nacheman, executive director of the Philadelphia-based CeaseFirePA. In earlier floor debates, proponents cast the bill as a commonsense proposal to balance the scales of justice. Opponents predicted it would foster a “shoot first” mentality that would lead to more bloodshed in communities where gun violence is already a major problem.

LOCAL Riccardi defense blames friend Testimony in the trial over the death to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison in August. of Donald Skiff gets under way in Testimony in Riccardi’s trial will continLuzerne County Court. ue today before a jury of11women and five By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Michael Simonson was on a mission to “smash someone’s head in” in April 2009, defense attorney Mark Bufalino said Monday. And his client, Elvis Riccardi, was along for the ride. “There is no evidence Elvis Riccardi participated in the death of Donald Skiff,” Bufalino said in his opening statement in the first day of Riccardi’s trial on homicide and other related charges. Riccardi, 33, is charged in Skiff’s death. Skiff was last seen by friends with whom he was fishing on April 27, 2009. His body was found five weeks later after Simonson, 34, led police to an area in Jenkins Township. Simonson has pleaded guilty

“That’s what the evidence will show…”

Prosecutors paint a different picture of how Riccardi allegedly participated in Skiff’s death. After Skiff was declared missing, Riccardi allegedly divulged to Mark Bufalino several family members, Defense District Attorney Jackie Musto Carroll said, that he had done something terrible. Riccardi saw an article in a local newspaper about Skiff’s disappearance and allegedly commented, “…Pretty face, ain’t pretty no more.” That comment opened a can of worms, causing Riccardi to detail Skiff’s death. Musto Carroll said Riccardi revealed Skiff was on his knees with bound hands while Riccardi beat him repeatedly. DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER He heard blood gurgle, Musto Carroll said, and told family he stomped on Skiff’s Elvis Riccardi is escorted from the

men. Simonson and Riccardi had an opportunity to meet Skiff in Shickshinny around 11p.m. on April 27 after he was fishing and the two men asked for a ride to the Tilbury Inn and Carousel Lounge in West Nanticoke. It was Simonson, Bufalino said, who ordered Skiff to pull over and get out of the vehicle before tying up his hands. It was Simonson who ordered Riccardi to withdraw $300 from Skiff’s bank account. And it was Simonson who said Skiff had to be killed, Bufalino said. Riccardi, Bufalino said, wanted nothing to do with Simonson’s plans and got out of the vehicle. “That’s what the evidence will show about how Donald Skiff died,” Bufalino said. See RICCARDI, Page 7A

Old school is now only a memory The site of the former Dallas High School will become a parking lot for students in new quarters. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – A dust cloud formed as an excavator tore into the 50-year-old brick building that, just a few weeks ago, held about 885 students. Beyond the dirt and rubble about 35 feet away was another structure -- a state-of-the-art facility enclosed in bright red bricks that can hold nearly twice as many pupils. Demolition began Monday on the former Dallas High School building to make way for a parking lot for students who will attend the new high school this “This is September. the last While the $43 milleg of the lion, two-year construction project is project…” tracking two weeks beBob Nesbit hind schedule, Bob Architect Nesbit of Crabtree Rohrbaugh & Associates, the project architect, said the demolition is right on time. “This is the last leg of the project, the final phase,” said Nesbit. “The new building is virtually finished.” He said demolition is the “worst” part of the construction schedule because there is only a 90-day time period for the demolition and paving to be completed. Before students were dismissed for the summer, crews were busy after school and on weekends removing asbestos from the façade of the building to expedite the demolition process. The asbestos work continued inside of the building after graduation on June 3. Once removal was completed in half of the building, site contractor and excavator Charles Corby and Sons of Tunkhannock got the green light to begin demolition. Asbestos removal will continue in another wing of the building as crews demolish the back of the school where the gym and athletic locker rooms are located. Nesbit said this will allow crews to finish work on sidewalks in front of the new school. “The part we’re hoping for, praying for, is good weather,” Nesbit said. He said construction crews are working at least eight hours a day, six days a week on the project. He said favorable weather is “critical” to the project’s success, despite having some time to work with in case of delays. “We just want to be done and to be able to give the building over to the school so they can do what they need to prepare for the students,” he said.

Safety seat inspections find improper installations ore than three-quarters of the child passenger safety seats M inspected by state troopers during a

two-week enforcement effort were found to be improperly installed, State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said Monday. State police inspected 319 safety seats at 45 locations statewide during a Click It or Ticket campaign that ran from May 23 to June 5. Noonan said troopers found that 246, or about 77 percent, of those seats were improperly installed. Locally, inspections in Troop P, which serves Luzerne, Bradford, Wyoming and Sullivan counties, half of the safety seats inspected were installed improperly. In Troop R, which serves Lackawanna, Wayne, Pike and Susquehanna counties, 25 of the 26 seats inspected were not installed properly. “Common problems included failing to securely anchor the child seat to the vehicle’s seat; failing to use the child’s seat harness to hold the child in the seat; and facing the car seat in the wrong direction,” Noonan said. Parents can schedule an appointment for an inspection of a child safety seat by calling any state police station. In Luzerne County, inspections are performed on the first Tuesday of the month at the state police stations at Hazleton and Wyoming and on the first Wednesday of the month at the station in Shickshinny. Inspections are done by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, call Wyoming, 697-2000; Hazleton, 459-3890 or Shickshinny, 735-8065. Noonan noted that during the two-week Click It or Ticket enforcement effort, troopers issued 902 seat belt citations and 3,874 seat belt warnings; cited 63 persons for failing to properly restrain a child in a safety seat; and arrested 32 persons for driving under the influence. Citations and warnings were not issued to people who brought their seats to the voluntary inspections.

U.S. Rep. Tom Marino discusses legislation, HR-1946, that he introduced that would help independent pharmacies Monday afternoon in Kingston along with Cook’s Pharmacy owners Jim and Dawn Gaudino.

Proposed pharmacy bill touted Legislation would help independent pharmacies compete against huge companies, Rep. Marino says.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

KINGSTON – With an independent pharmacy owner at his side, U.S. Rep. Tom Marino on Monday talked about his proposed legislation that would help businesses such as Cook’s Pharmacy compete against “massive” companies. “This legislation is simple,” Marino said outside the pharmacy that has operated since 1967. “It will give independent pharmacies the ability to com-

pete and negotiate lower prices that will be passed on to their customers.” The bill, HR-1946, empowers independent pharmacies to negotiate with pharmacy benefit managers over the most important terms that affect retail prescription drug prices and that are currently hidden from consumers and insurers. During a press conference at Cook’s, Marino said the Association of Community Pharmacists Congressional Network has endorsed legislation to confront secret practices by pharmacy benefit managers that inflate drug costs for consumers and private-sector health care plans. Marino, R-Lycoming Township, in-

troduced the bill on May 23 and it was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary (Marino sits on that committee). As of June 20, there were six co-sponsors and Marino continues to seek cosponsors for the bill. Marino said he is talking with GOP leadership to get it moving forward and expects the bill to come to the House floor for a vote this year. “Buying in less volume shouldn’t be a deterrent,” Marino said. “This legislation would allow independent pharmacies to collectively combine to negotiate better deals.” Marino, a two-time cancer survivor See PHARMACY, Page 7A

Woman tells Forty Fort council of bee problem By JOSEPH DOLINSKY Times Leader Correspondent

FORTY FORT -- A concerned mother and homeowner took her case before Forty Fort Borough Council members Monday night, seeking to reach a resolution to a bee infestation problem that has been ongoing for over a year. After an executive session of council concluded, the general public was allowed into the board room and Karen Martinelli’s comments were heard. She went on to detail the steps she had followed in the past year to have safety precautions taken against the house next door that appears to contain a massive honey bee hive. Martinelli presented pictures she took of the bees coming out of the neighboring house’s bedroom windowsill, as well as photos of hundreds of bees collected in a nearby bush. See BEES, Page 7A

McCain defends fire claim

John McCain, R-Ariz., on MonS en. day defended his weekend state-

ment that illegal immigrants were responsible for some Arizona wildfires, citing congressional testimony and published reports to back his claim. Speaking from his home state Saturday, McCain said there was “substantial evidence that some of these fires have been caused by people who have crossed our border illegally.” He didn’t specify what evidence, however. The comment drew criticism. Speaking on the “Imus in the Morning” show Monday, McCain stood by his statement. McCain said Forest Service officials have testified that “large numbers of warming and cooking fires built and abandoned by cross-border violators have caused wildfires that have destroyed cultural and natural resources.”

SURMAN, LIBYA

Gadhafi ally’s compound hit

Libya’s government said a NATO airstrike west of Tripoli early Monday destroyed a large family compound belonging to a close associate of Moammar Gadhafi, killing at least 15 people, including three children. The alliance said the strike hit a “command and control” center. Gadhafi’s regime has repeatedly accused NATO of targeting civilians in an attempt to rally support against international intervention into Libya’s civil war. The alliance insists it tries to avoid killing civilians. Libyan government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim said NATO bombs struck the compound belonging to Khoweildi al-Hamidi outside the city of Surman, some 40 miles west of Tripoli. BEIRUT

Rolling blackouts begin Greece was hit by rolling blackouts Monday as employees at the main power utility began 48-hour rolling strikes to protest the company’s privatization, part of austerity plans needed to avoid a national debt default. The sell-off of state assets in the power company is a major step in a 50 billion euro ($71 billion) privatization drive that must be completed by 2015. It is part of highly unpopular austerity plans, including more tax hikes and spending cuts, which must be passed by Parliament by the end of the month if Greece is to get the next 12 billion euro installment of its 110 billion euro bailout next month. The troubled Socialist government is also struggling to make up for ongoing budget shortfalls. Without the funds, Greece will be unable to pay its debts as of the middle of July, triggering a default that would rock financial markets in Europe and abroad.

TIMERGARAH, Pakistan — Police said Monday that militants kidnapped a 9-yearoldgirlonherwaytoschoolandforcedherto wear a suicide bomb vest. The girl and police said she managed to escape her captors as they directed her to attack a paramilitary checkpoint in northwest Pakistan. Police presented Sohana Jawed, dressed in a blue and white school uniform, at a news conference in Lower Dir district. Militants in Pakistan have often used young boys to carry out attacks, but the use of young girls is rare. Jawed, who is in third grade, was on her way to school in the northwest city of Peshawar on Saturday when she was grabbed by two women and forced into a car carrying two men, she said during the news conference.

Study urges looking at age, other factors in checks for cervical cancer virus. By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — Too many doctors are testing the wrong women, or using the wrong test, for a virus that causes cervical cancer. The days of one-size-fits-all screening for cervical cancer are long gone. How often to get a Pap smear — and whether to be tested for the cancer-causing HPV virus at the same time — now depend on your age and other circumstances. But a government study reports Monday that a surprising number of doctors and clinics aren’t following national guidelines on how to perform HPV checks, suggesting a lot of women are getting unnecessary tests. That wastes money and could harm women who wind up getting extra medical care they didn’t need, says Dr. Mona Saraiya of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who led the research. Even she wasn’t protected from the confusion. Saraiya was stunned to get a bill showing that her own doctor had ordered testing for HPV strains not connected to cervical cancer. The findings, reported in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, show women have to be savvy to ensure they’re getting the right checkups — enough, but not too much. “It’s extremely discouraging,” says Debbie Saslow, gynecologic cancer director at the American Cancer Society, who’s had to argue with her doctor against testing too often. “We have not been able to get that message across.” Cervical cancer grows so slowly that Pap smears — which examine cells scraped from the cervix — usually find it in time to treat, or even to prevent when precancerous cells are spotted and removed. For decades, Paps were the only way to screen for cervical cancer. Now doctors know that certain strains of HPV, the human papillomavirus, cause most cervical cancer. HPV testing isn’t a replacement for the Pap. But it can provide extra information to help determine if a woman is at higher or lower risk and thus guide her ongoing care — if it’s used correctly. The new CDC study, part of a massive national survey of medical practices, examined how doctors are using it.

Exchange program reforms uncertain

JACKSON, Miss. — The State Department is publicly acknowledging that one of its most popular exchange programs leaves foreign college students vulnerable to exploitation, but it’s unclear if new regulations the agency is pushing will do enough to stop the abuses. The revised rules aim to ““…the shift more responsibility on- State Deto the 53 enti- partment ties the department desig- has outnates official sourced its sponsors in the oversight J-1 Summer Work Travel role…” Program. HisDaniel Costa torically, many Immigration sponsors have policy analyst farmed out those duties to third-party contractors, making the sponsors “mere purveyors of J-1 visas,” according to the State Department’s proposed new rules published this spring in the Federal Register. Students visiting under J-1 visas make ideal victims since they are here temporarily and may not know how to seek help. An Associated Press investigation published six months ago found that many participants paid thousands of dollars to come to the U.S., only to learn the jobs they were promised didn’t exist. Some had to share beds in crowded houses or apartments, charged so much for lodging and transportation that they took home no pay. Others turned to the sex industry, while some sought help from homeless shelters. In posting the proposed new rules, State Department officials detailed problems that largely mirrored the AP’s findings, then blamed lack of oversight by the sponsors, and expressed confidence the changes will help clean up the program, partly by requiring sponsors to verify that students have jobs and that the employers are legitimate. A review of the new regulations shows they have few teeth, however. While the changes spell out how sponsors are to vet third-party brokers and how often they are to touch base with visiting students, the rules are vague on how vigorously the State Department will check to verify those duties are done. “This is a dangerous program because the State Department has outsourced its oversight role to the program sponsors and employers who hire the participants,” said Daniel Costa, an immigration policy analyst who is working on the Economic Policy Institute’s report.

Speed may have been a factor in Philadelphia accident

‘Jackass’ star Ryan Dunn dies in fiery Pa. crash By JOANN LOVIGLIO Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — “Jackass” star Ryan Dunn, who along with his cast mates made Americans cringe and snicker through vulgar stunts in their multimillion-dollar TV and movie franchise, was killed early Monday in a fiery car crash. He was 34. Dunn, a daredevil who gained notoriety for diving into a sewage tank and performing other unsavory stunts, was driving his 2007 Porsche in suburban Philadelphia when it careered off the road, flipped over a guardrail and crashed into the woods before bursting into flames. A passenger was also killed, and speed may have been a factor in the crash, West Goshen Township police said. The force of impact shattered the vehi-

Dunn

cle into several twisted and blackened pieces, leaving the Porsche 911 GT3 unrecognizable except for a door that was thrown from the crash and not incinerated. A 100-foot-long tire skid marked where the car

left the roadway. Both Dunn and his passenger were severely burned. Police said they were able to identify Dunn through his tattoos and hair, but the identity of his passenger was still unknown. Dunn appeared on MTV shows “Jackass” and “Viva La Bam” and the three “Jackass” big-screen adaptations. He also was the star of his own MTV show, “Home-

wrecker,” and just began hosting the new show “Proving Ground” on the G4 cable network. G4 spokesman Dave Welch said “Proving Ground,” which premiered June 11 with the second episode slated to air today, ,was being pulled for now until the network can discuss the show’s future. Dunn’s longtime friend and fellow “Jackass” daredevil Johnny Knoxville tweeted on Monday afternoon, “Today I lost my brother Ryan Dunn. My heart goes out to his family and his beloved Angie. RIP Ryan, I love you buddy.” Dunn also starred in the yet-to-be-released film “Living Will.” Autopsies were to be conducted Monday, though it was unclear when the results would be released.

Lake-Lehman hikes tax rate

School Board approves final budget for 2011-2012. By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

LAKE TWP. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Lake-Lehman School Board approved a 1.8 percent tax increase for Luzerne County residents in its final budget Monday evening. Three board members, Harold Cornell, Bo Kreller and Moderno Rossi, voted against the measure, while Walter Glogowski, Mark Kornoski, Lorraine Farrell, Andrew Salko, Kevin Carey and David Paulauskas voted in favor of the increase. The board passed a budget with revenues at $26,136,386 and expenditures at $25,186,187. Millage rates will be 8.8531 for Luzerne County residents and 57.3742 for Wyoming County taxpayers. A mill is $1 tax per every $1,000 in assessed property value. Kornoski said the increase translates to an average of $39 per an assessed property value of $250,000 in Luzerne County. Wyoming County residents will actually see a decrease in property taxes due to the rebalancing of the budget. At its May regular meeting, the board presented a proposed final budget with no tax increases for

Luzerne and Wyoming counties for the 2011-12 school year. In February, the board proposed a 4.1 percent tax increase in Luzerne County and a 1.005 percent increase for those in Wyoming County. Superintendent James McGovern said the board â&#x20AC;&#x153;made certain expectationsâ&#x20AC;? in the proposed final budget that could not be guaranteed, calling for the increase. Thomas Melone, of Albert Melone and Co., the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business consultant, said the district was able to save money by realignment of curriculum, reverifying health care and retiree costs and enacting a pay freeze for administration. Despite these strategies, Melone said future school years would suffer if taxes were not raised. He said the district expects to lose about $1 million in funding from the state this year and believes more cuts could come next year. The district used about half of its fund balance, which is similar to a savings account, to keep the budget afloat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about $950,000. Melone said just $715,000 of that account will be available at the end of next year. In accordance with proposed personnel cuts, the board also voted not to renew the contracts of the following professional employ-

LEHMAN TWP. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Several Mountain View Drive residents complained to the Board of Supervisors Monday about the condition of and speeding on the road. The board agreed that the road is in bad shape, but said because of a lack of funding, only sporadic paving and milling has been done over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to stretch our paving dollars as far as we can,â&#x20AC;? said township Roadmaster Doug ide. John Niezgoda, who said he has lived on Mountain View Drive for

more than 70 years, said it would be senseless to pave the road until two major drainage pipes in front of his house are unblocked. Niezgoda, who lives in the 1400 block, said the pipes have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;blocked tightâ&#x20AC;? for at least 20 years. Due to the blockage, storm water floods the road, causing the road to crack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the purpose of paving a road unless you have a place for the water to go,â&#x20AC;? he said. Niezgoda and the others also asked if a police officer would monitor the speed of motorists on the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The speed limit is 35 miles per hour,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you

State moves on voter photo ID BEES HARRISBURG — A proposal to require Pennsylvania residents to produce governmentissued photo identification each time they vote exposed sharp partisan divides Monday in the state House of Representatives. Republicans defended the voter ID bill, calling it a sensible way to keep people from casting illegal ballots. Democrats said there was no evidence fraud has been a problem and the net result will be fewer people turning out at the polls. Lawmakers voted against exempting seniors and military veterans from the photo ID requirement but agreed to make it easier to vote for people who have religious objections to being photographed.

State budget is in final stages of negotiations By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG â&#x20AC;&#x201D; With less than two weeks left in the fiscal year, top Republican lawmakers hope to finalize a state spending plan that can pass the House and Senate as early as this week and get Gov. Tom Corbettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature, officials said Monday. A spending plan for the fiscal year beginning July 1 is in the final stages of negotiations and will be less than the $27.3 billion Corbett proposed in March, said Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Jake Corman, RCentre. On Monday, leaders of the House and Senate Republican majorities gave a joint spending plan to Corbett to address some of the changes he requested in a previous proposal. They planned to meet with the governor this morning, after a Monday evening meeting was postponed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully in the next day or two weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some sort of final agreement,â&#x20AC;? said Corman, who added that the size of cuts in social and human service programs was probably the biggest unresolved matter between the sides. Corman declined to give many details about the latest plan. In general, leaders in the Republican-controlled Legislature have been meeting behind closed doors to consider using surplus tax revenue to ease the impact of proposed spending cuts in aid for state-supported universities, public schools and hospital care for the poor. Corbett, who spoke Monday morning at a public event in Lancaster, also declined to discuss details of negotiations. The state faces a projected multibillion-dollar budget deficit

OTHER OPINION: TOBACCO MONEY

Don’t allow fund to go up in smoke

OR MORE THAN a decade, Pennsylvania has maintained a special fund to hold its share of the tobacco company lawsuit settlement with states across the nation. States sued to recoup smoking-related health care costs, and Pennsylvania used its share solely for health related purposes, including the adultBasic health insurance program that ended in February. However, this year’s proposed state budget would eliminate the dedicated account for tobacco funds, roll most of the money into the General Fund, and divert $220 million away from health care to a new business loan program. It’s interesting that a governor who refuses to allow any taxes or impact fees on natural gas drilling to enter the General Fund would propose doing that very same thing with money intended to maintain Pennsylvanians’ health.

We think the Tobacco Settlement Fund ought to be devoted solely to its original purpose of health care, and certainly not to increase the pool of money available for business loans. The state already has six business loan programs, each of which would be consolidated -along the $220 million in tobacco money -- into Corbett’s proposed Liberty Loan Fund. The plan has other problems. It would spend two years’ worth of tobacco settlement payments in one fiscal year. That could create an even bigger funding crisis for health care services down the road. We recommend that 30 percent be applied back to the adultBasic program where it belongs, perhaps cutting a break to some of those 45,000 Pennsylvanians who lost their health insurance after Corbett decided that money would be better spent elsewhere.

As judges of the regional bee, MT and I have seen great spellers win here who were true contenders in Washington, and I became convinced this area had plenty of potential to produce a national champ.

restwood’s proposed budget cuts will have a detrimental effect on its students for years to come. The proposed state budget has placed the Board of Education in a no-win situation. Crestwood students will feel the effects of the kindergarten cuts through grade 12, as they will forever be one semester behind. Recognizing the importance of exercise, cutting elementary and junior high sports makes no sense. What about the cuts to music? Learning to play a musical instrument stimulates the development of both hemispheres of the brain while developing complex motor skills involved in ear-eye-hand-brain coordination . Music study deals with language, math, history and the science of acoustics. These skills are easily transferred to other disciplines. Research from around the world has shown music is fundamental to the creative, intellectual and emotional development of all children. The earlier a child begins studying an instrument, the greater the neuronal activity. Early musical training helps develop brain areas involved in

language and reasoning. There is also a causal link between music and spatial intelligence (the ability to perceive the world accurately and to form mental pictures of things). Students of the arts learn to think creatively and to solve problems by imagining various solutions, rejecting outdated rules and assumptions. Recent studies also show that students who study music are more successful on standardized tests. They also achieve higher grades in high school. Data collected by Educational Testing Services, which provide college entrance examinations, indicate a strong connection between test scores and instrumental music study. Verbal and mathematic test scores of high school seniors are significantly higher for those students who have

DOONESBURY

had seven or more years of instrumental music study. Childhood music study could pay off decades later, even for those who no longer play an instrument, by keeping the mind sharper as people age, according to a preliminary study published by the American Psychological Association. Musical activity throughout life may serve as a challenging cognitive exercise, making a brain fitter and more capable of accommodating the challenges of aging. Since studying an instrument requires years of practice and learning, it may create alternate connections in the brain that could compensate for cognitive declines as we get older. Crestwood’s instrumental music students whose parents have spent hundreds of dollars purchasing instruments with the expectation of the availability of music classes next year will now be stuck with an expensive instrument and no classes. The proposed Pennsylvania state budget imposes harmful cuts on all Pennsylvania students as well as our seniors, women, and people with disabilities while generously rewarding major corporations and CEO’s. But there is a fix to the situation. It’s called the ballot box. Agesino Primatic Fairview Township

wages and benefits. Leonard instructed the county to file paperwork with the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board within 20 days documenting that it has complied with the order. Commissioner Chairwoman Maryanne Petrilla said she expects the county to appeal the ruling. Paula Schnelly, head of the county’s AFSCME union, celebrated the decision. “We’re thrilled that the hearing examiner ruled in our favor because we knew that what was occurring was wrong right from the get-go,” Schnelly said. She said the 36 workers effec-

“In the world these two lived in, it happened all the time,” she snapped, alluding to the cash payments government prosecutors allege the former majority commissioners gained in exchange for county contracts from 2004 to 2007. Graham said Cordaro lied about the money he handled, including just how many of his payroll checks from Lackawanna County were cashed. “He lied about that and he lied when he said he didn’t commit these crimes,” she told the jury. The pair “had each other’s back” when it came to important votes on county contracts, and they used cash contributions to their political campaign for their own personal gains. “Did any of the cash get to the campaign accounts? Uh-uh,” Graham said. “Where did it go? In their pockets.” In their defense, Costopoulos and Munchak’s attorney, Chris Powell, said the testimony of government witnesses who received immunity should be viewed “with great caution.” The government, Powell added, failed to produce documentation on the alleged meetings and phone conversations between Munchak and Don Kalina, the Highland Associates executive that government prosecutors say passed $30,000 cash payments – twice to Munchak and

address the preliminary findings in advance of the final issuance of the report, which he did not,” the board’s statement said. “Just as CityVest fully cooperated with the controller’s inquiry, we hope to be given the opportunity to submit a response to the controller to correct the errors,” the statement said. Griffith’s office got involved because the county loaned CityVest $6 million in community development funding to acquire and preserve the building. That money is gone and was largely spent to make the parcel larger and demolish a 14-story high-rise and connector building at the rear of the 113-year-old hotel. Griffith said the audit was based on a comprehensive review of records and said the work made him conclude that commissioners must do more to ensure the community development office is monitoring the spending of such loans. The audit found no “material

tively performed their job placement and training work and said their salaries had been covered by state and federal funding. It’s unclear whether the payment of lost wages and benefits would have to come out of the county’s general fund operating budget or this pot of state and federal funding. The termination of the companies who now handle this work could also lead to breach of contract legal action. Those companies are Employment Data Systems Inc., ReDCo Group and Arbor Employment & Training. Schnelly said only one of the 36 workers had been called back to county employment. Some are still out of work, while an unknown number accepted employment with the new companies. “These employees had to go once to Cordaro. But it’s West Scranton funeral home director Al Hughes, according to Costopoulos, who will “carry the day” with 36 alleged monthly payments of $10,000 each to Cordaro on behalf of Acker Associates. Costopoulos called Hughes a “consummate scam artist” who “had to support his degenerate behavior” – a gambling habit that supposedly included $10,000-perhand blackjack bets at a casino in the Bahamas in the mid-2000s. “Ten thousand dollars was Al Hughes’ signature number,” Costopoulos said, claiming that checks to Cordaro for that amount were for bets he made with the then-majority commissioner over a Notre Dame-Michigan football game and the pending sale of Montage Mountain and not fees Acker paid him as a so-called “marketing consultant.” But Assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce Brandler said the case boils down to the two men who “divided Lackawanna County like a private kingdom” and demanded “tribute payments” from business owners. “This is a classic pay-to-play scheme,” he said in his rebuttal. Brandler said “character assassinations” of Hughes and Kalina were meant to distract the jury from determining the facts of the case.

CityVest paid the Lulls $325,000. A year after the purchase, CityVest paid off $303,000 in liens tied to the property for Wilkes-Barre’s expenses tearing down the rundown structures that had been at the site when the property was owned by the Lulls. The audit notes that CityVest’s purchase agreement with the Lulls said title to the property shall be free and clear of all liens. The agreement gave CityVest the option to deduct liens from the purchase price, the audit says. “The amount paid for the lien should have been deducted from the sale price of $325,000. Therefore, CityVest overpaid for the property in the amount of $303,000.00,” the audit says. The audit also points out that there were two appraisals for this parcel in the county loan paperwork valuing the property at

through such hardship due to the actions of the commissioners,” Schnelly said. “This is a wrong made right.” Petrilla said commissioners must review the examiner’s decision and discuss it with legal counsel. The commissioners were powerless to prevent the layoffs because the state wanted the job placement and training work to be awarded through a public bidding process, known as requestsfor-proposals, or RFPs, Petrilla said. “The state point blank told us that if we didn’t RFP the service and get the best product, they’d pull out funding. If we didn’t do anything, we’d lose our funding,” Petrilla said. The county department in which the 36 employees were assigned had submitted a proposal

to try to keep the work, but it wasn’t selected. “The proposal that the work force agency put together was worse than sub-par, so they didn’t get the bid. That’s what happened,” Petrilla said. The Luzerne-Schuylkill Workforce Investment Board, which selected the three companies, predicated more accountability and improved services with the new providers, allowing more funding to be spent on clients. The state allocates roughly $11 million for the jobs programs. Members of the 37-person board, many business leaders, are appointed by commissioners in Luzerne and Schuylkill counties.

$325,000 in June 2005 and $309,000 in August 2005. The audit says CityVest should have paid an amount closer to the most recent appraisal. The county’s community development office should research the possibility of reclaiming the $303,000 spent on the liens from the city or the former property owners, the audit said. When the lien payment was recently reported in a news article, CityVest’s Board of Directors released a statement saying the liens were paid at the city’s request. The city had pledged in return to identify future grant funds to invest in the project, the board said. The CityVest board statement released Monday painted the Sterling’s outlook if the nonprofit had not intervened. The property would still be in the hands of an out-of town owner “mired in bankruptcy” and “riddled with more than 1,000 tons of asbestos and other environmentally hazardous materials,” the statement said. Millions in back taxes and other liens would discourage private developers, and the hotel tower and connector buildings would still be “standing and in

need of immediate demolition.” “To use a medical analogy, if a surgeon only operates on healthy people with routine ailments, the success rate is likely to be high. In contrast, a surgeon who works on the most acute and severe cases is likely to have a lower success rate,” the statement said, noting that the Sterling site is an “acute case.” “CityVest invested these funds to make the site healthier and more attractive to a private developer,” it said. CityVest officials have asked the county to take over the project and determine whether the structure will be fully or partially saved or demolished. All three commissioners have said CityVest should make the call to tear down the structure and find the money to pay for demolition, though they may assist in obtaining a $1 million U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) demolition grant. Four people currently serve on the CityVest Board of Directors: Judd Shoval, the Rev. Thomas O’Hara of King’s College, attorney Richard Goldberg and Dr. Brian O’Donnell. Three seats on the board are vacant.

ployment disputes based on how the dispute was filed would lead to abuses within the court system. Kennedy noted that the public importance standard is in place precisely to ensure the courts are not clogged up in deciding routine employment disputes that can be resolved through other channels. If the court were to find the public importance standard does not apply to petitions, every government action could present a potential federal constitutional issue, Kennedy said. “Budget priorities, personnel decisions and substantive policies might all be laid before the jury,” Kennedy said. “It would also consume the time and attention of public officials, burden the exercise of legitimate authority and blur the lines of accountability between officials and the public.” The ruling is a major victory, but it does not end the case, Mehalchick said. The court directed the case be returned to the Third Circuit Court, which must now take a new look at whether Guarnieri’s grievance petition raised any issue that is a matter of public concern. Should the court determine it did raise an issue of public concern, the verdict would stand. If not, the verdict would be negated.

duced to $45,358 by an appellate court. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the verdict, which led to the appeal to the Supreme Court. The high court agreed to accept the appeal to resolve a dispute among federal appellate courts regarding the interpretation of the petition clause of the First Amendment, which protects a person’s right to petition the government. Federal courts have long held that a public employee who alleges retaliation for exercising free speech must show that the matter they spoke about was an issue of public importance, such as exposing wrongdoing. Guarnieri’s case hinged on an action taken against him for filing a union grievance, which is a private matter. The Third Circuit Court had ruled that the “public importance” standard did not apply to Guarnieri’s case because he had filed a “petition,” as opposed to speaking out at a public meeting. Citing a prior court ruling, the court said a petition differs from the free speech component of the First Amendment in that it does not require an employee to show the issue was a matter of public importance. The Supreme Court disagreed with the Third Circuit’s ruling.

servation groups trying to force cuts in greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. The court said that the authority to seek reductions in emissions rests with the Environmental Protection Agency, not the courts. Columbia University law professor John Coffee said the WalMart ruling all but sounds the death knell for class-action suits against employers that seek money. “This significantly changes the balance between employers and employees. And it largely eliminates the monetary threat facing big employers,” he said. Lawsuits are expensive to bring, “and if there is no money relief at the end of the road, there is no incentive to bring the suit,” he said. The Wal-Mart case has been seen as a key test of whether civil rights lawyers, armed with computer-generated data on wages, could force the nation’s largest employer to stand trial and face billions of dollars in potential liability. Had they won against WalMart, other similar suits against nationwide retailers were in the offing. While the justices all agreed that the employees had no right to group damages under the court rule they cited in their suit, that unanimity masked a fundamental split largely along gender lines over the extent of discrimination at Wal-Mart and the amount of proof required to proceed with a class action. Speaking for a 5-4 conservative majority in the central holding, Scalia said this class-action claim and others like it are doomed without “convincing proof of a companywide discriminatory pay and promotion policy.” Pointing to a provision of the federal rules of civil procedure requiring a class action to have “questions of law or fact common

to the class,” Scalia said this suit does not get to first base. He said Wal-Mart has 3,400 stores spread across the United States and leaves it up to store managers to decide on pay levels and promotions. “In a company of Wal-Mart’s size and geographical scope, it is quite unbelievable that all managers would exercise their discretion in a common way without some common direction,” Scalia said. “Significant proof that WalMart operates under a general policy of discrimination is entirely absent here,” he said. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Anthony M. Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. agreed with Scalia in Wal-Mart v. Dukes. Scalia said this suit was flawed for another reason. A single classaction claim that supposedly speaks for a huge number of persons does not entitle all of them to “an individualized award of monetary damages.” Ruth Bader Ginsburg, joined by Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Stephen G. Breyer, agreed that Wal-Mart could not be forced to pay damages to all these women without individual hearings under one court rule, but argued forcibly that there was substantial evidence of discrimination and that the case should have been allowed to proceed. Ginsburg, who specialized in cases involving gender discrimination before joining the court, pointed to data obtained from Wal-Mart that painted a portrait of a “company culture” that was biased against them. For example, while women hold about 70 percent of the hourly jobs, they make up only 33 percent of the management employees. The decision did not absolve Wal-Mart of the allegations that it had short-changed its female employees. Rather, the justices decided only that the suit did not fit within the rules for class-action claims. Individuals will still be free to file discrimination suits.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols will be out an estimated six weeks with a fractured left wrist from a first-base collision over the weekend.

Pujols injury devastates Cardinals INSIDE: N.Y. Yankees top Reds, 3B

By R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer

ST. LOUIS — Concluding a news briefing about Albert Pujols’ injury that killed the mood at Tony La Russa’s charity golf event, the St. Louis Cardinals manager let down his guard. “I’m going to go find a place to cry,” La Russa said. Pujols will be out an estimated

six weeks with a fractured left wrist from a first-base collision over the weekend. Baseball will be without a three-time NL MVP and the Cardinals, tied for first in the NL Central, are left to absorb another devastating blow in a season marred by injuries.

“You can’t replace a player of his magnitude,” general manager John Mozeliak said. “It just seems like we’ve had to deal with one injury after another. “We still have to find ways to win games, and that’s what we’ll do.” The team announced the results of an MRI and CT scan Monday, one day after Pujols was injured during a home game against Kan-

sas City. The injury is a non-displaced fracture of the left radius bone and his arm is in a splint. Mozeliak said he hoped to have Pujols back by the beginning of August and the team anticipated no lingering effects from what the general manager described as a small fracture. Mozeliak said Pujols’ left See PUJOLS, Page 5B

Seven-time major champion shows no ill effects from injury. By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — Back on one of tennis’ top stages, Venus Williams cut a familiar figure Monday at Wimbledon, from her latest original, somewhat-see-through outfit to her trademark booming serves and aggressive groundstrokes. Williams smacked seven aces at up to 118 mph, totaled 23 winners to only five unforced errors, and overwhelmed 97th-ranked Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan 6-3, 6-1 in the first round at the All England Club. The seven-time major champion recently was off the tour for about five months with a bum hip, including missing the French Open, and this is only her fourth tournament in nearly a year. “It’s a good place to start. And this is kind of like a home for her. She loves it,” said Williams’ hitting partner, David Witt. “She feels confident out here, and in women’s tennis, ‘confident’ goes a long way.” There sure was nothing shy about a playsuit Williams called “trendy”: white and sleeveless, with a deep “V” neckline, a triangle cut out in the back, a gold belt and gold zipper. “Jumpers are very ‘now,”’ she explained, “as is lace.” Not as sensational as the corset-like black lace number with skin-toned undergarments that drew so much attention at the 2010 French Open, but Monday’s romper looked something akin to a toga and surely would have won the approval of her Roman goddess namesake. “Shealwayshassomethinginteresting,” said the 6-foot-3 Amanmuradova, a rare opponent taller than the 6foot-1 Williams. “It’s good to have something different on the tour.

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

Duncan always receives cheers from SWB fans

e was the biggest and loudest bat of the only Governors’ Cup championship season Scranton/WilkesBarre ever had, the unquestioned leader of a run to the top, forever imprinted around here as the face of a big winner. Maybe that’s why Shelley Duncan spent the whole weekend hearing big cheers when he came back. He is with Triple-A Columbus now, after spending most of last season and the start of this one with the parent Cleveland Indians. It doesn’t mean Duncan quickly forgot where he was raised in the game of baseball. And if the power-packed, 31-year-old outfielder/first baseman/designated hitter was somehow trying to bury his past, fans of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees wouldn’t let him. Starting from the minute they saw him back at PNC Field. They cheered Duncan loudly and enthusiastically whenever he stepped to the plate or made a play in the field, from the first pitch to the last of the whole threegame series against their Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees. “I was lucky to have that for three years when I was here,” Duncan said. “Very good fans here. Really good people in this area. I really enjoyed my time here, whether in the field or off the field.” He enjoyed catching up with all those old, familiar faces, like when former SWB Yankees general manager Jeremy Ruby stopped by the visitors clubhouse Sunday to say hello to Duncan. But all the warmth in Northeastern Pennsylvania wasn’t enough to stop Duncan from saying goodbye. Because applause and enthusiasm weren’t going to get him to the big leagues. And neither were the New York Yankees, who outrighted Duncan to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following another strong Triple-A season for him in 2009. Duncan refused that assignment, and instead signed as a free agent with Cleveland - where he spent most of last season and the first 2 1/2 months of this one playing in the American League instead of the International League. “It’s going well,” Duncan said. “The big club’s doing well this year, this (Columbus) team’s playing great. It’s a lot of fun being a part of this. It’s fun baseball.” Things turned a little sour for him when the Indians demoted Duncan June 7, little more than a week after he delivered a pinch-hit two-run single to help win them a game against Tampa Bay. “Nothing I need to work on. They had to do it,” Duncan said of his move back to Triple-A. “I had an option left. The politics of the game kind of made that decision for me.” He became accustomed to such maneuvering coming up with the Yankees. Duncan slugged a franchise-record 25 home runs in 2007, then walloped 12 more while driving home 44 runs in 58 games to spark Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s Governors’ Cup title in 2008. But despite some success with parent New York, where Duncan hit eight home runs and had 23 RBI over his first 57 major league games over those two seasons, the Yankees designated him for assignment before the start of 2009. He cleared waivers, and came back to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to hit 30 home runs in 2009 and break his own franchise record. “I had some great experiences that I can look back on and really enjoy,” Duncan said. “Very fond of my time in that organization.” The whole weekend proved they’re still fond of him. The color of his uniform may be different, but his past will never change.

McKeon gets another chance to revive Marlins 80-year-old skipper led team to 2003 World Series title

By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer

MIAMI (AP) — New Florida Marlins interim manager Jack McKeon sat listening as team president David Samson offered a spirited defense of the decision to give the job to an octogenarian. Samson said the 80-year-old McKeon works harder than many people half his age and seems even sharper mentally than in 2003, when the led the Marlins to an improbable World Series ASSOCIATED PRESS championship. In response to the comments, a Interim Florida Marlins managgrinning McKeon intentionally er Jack McKeon gestures before Monday’s game against the messed up Samson’s name.

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Nova pitches Yanks past Reds The Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Alex Rodriguez started New York’s fourrun first inning with an RBI single, and rookie Ivan Nova handled the NL’s most prolific offense for eight innings, leading the Yankees to a 5-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. The Yankees have won nine of 11, moving a season-best 13 games over .500 at 42-29. Their high-powered offense has led the way. New York started fast against left-hander Travis Wood (5-5), who made an unexpected start. Originally scheduled to pitch on Tuesday, he was moved up a day when Johnny Cueto showed up with a stiff neck. Nova (7-4) won his third straight start, allowing a run and four singles without walking a batter. Braves 2, Blue Jays 0

ATLANTA — Tim Hudson pitched eight scoreless innings and hit his second career home run in the Atlanta Braves’ victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Hudson (6-6) allowed two hits, one walk and struck out a season-high eight, including the 1,600th of his career. He took Ricky Romero (6-7) deep to make it 2-0 with two outs in the sixth. Toronto has lost two straight and five of seven. Hudson retired 20 straight batters before Mike McCoy walked to lead off the ninth and advanced to second on Yunel Escobar’s infield single. Closer Craig Kimbrel struck out Corey Patterson, Jose Bautista and Adam Lind to earn his 20th save in 25 chances.

pounded the Pittsburgh Pirates. Arrieta (9-4) gave up three runs over five innings and even added his first major league hit to became the first Orioles pitcher to reach nine wins by June 20 since Sidney Ponson in 2003. Though Arrieta wasn’t dominant, he didn’t have to be thanks to an offense that springs to life whenever he’s on the mound. The Orioles average 6.5 runs per game when Arrieta starts. They needed just two innings to top that mark against struggling starter Charlie Morton (7-4) to hand the Pirates their fourth straight loss. Red Sox 14, Padres 5

BOSTON — Adrian Gonzalez drove in three runs with a single and double in a 10-run seventh inning against his former team and the hot-hitting Boston Red Sox rolled to a win over the struggling San Diego Padres. Gonzalez boosted his major league-leading RBI total to 67 since the Padres, unable to give him a lucrative contract, traded him to the Red Sox in the offseason for three top prospects. He went 3 for 5 to increase his batting average to .353, also the best in the majors. Tied at 3 going into the seventh, Gonzalez drove in the go-ahead run with a one-out double. After Kevin Youkilis flied out, the Red Sox scored nine more runs. Rangers 8, Astros 3

ARLINGTON, Texas — Josh Hamilton hit a two-run triple, Adrian Beltre had a pair of RBI singles and the Texas Rangers opened the Lone Star Series Rockies 8, Indians 7 with a victory over the Houston Astros. CLEVELAND — Jason The AL West leaders scored Giambi’s gigantic three-run in each of the first three inhomer in Colorado’s six-run fifth inning off Fausto Carmona nings to build a quick 7-0 lead.

said. The new, old skipper drew some laughs at his re-introductory news conference Monday, but the hiring was no joke. Nearly six years after McKeon retired as the Marlins’ manager, he returned to his former job on an interim basis and will lead the team for the rest of the season. He becomes the second-oldest manager in major league history. Connie Mack managed the Philadelphia Athletics in a suit, tie and straw hat until 1950, when he was 87. McKeon will wear a uniform with No. 25. “I’ve managed since I was 14 years old,” he jokingly said. “I’ll probably manage until I’m 95.”

The cigar-chomping McKeon succeeds manager Edwin Rodriguez, who resigned before Sunday’s loss at Tampa Bay. Lastplace Florida took a 10-game losing streak into Monday night’s matchup at home against the Los Angeles Angels. McKeon’s first lineup card caused a stir, because it didn’t include 2009 NL batting champion Hanley Ramirez, who has been in a slump all season. “I didn’t think he was running very good (Sunday),” said McKeon, who watched the game on TV from his home in North Carolina. Ramirez has been battling a sore back but also has a reputation for a lack of hustle, and McKeon declined to say which he thought

was the issue. Ramirez had no complaint about being held out of the lineup and said he welcomed McKeon’s old-school approach. “He’s going to get on everybody here,” Ramirez said. “If you don’t play hard, you’re not going to be here.” Teammate Logan Morrison agreed that was a good thing. “We have a lot of guys who Edwin said don’t hustle or play hard,” Morrison said. “Maybe Jack can kick them in the butt.” McKeon had been working part time as a special assistant to team owner Jeffrey Loria. His hiring came with the Marlins trying to end a three-week free-fall that had seen them go 1-18 in June.

“I feel 80 years old myself the last three weeks,” president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said. “It’s good to have a friend in a time of need, and this is a time of need for this organization. Jack can get the attention of a team very quickly and get them moving in the right direction.” The Marlins are expected to hire another manager after this season before moving into their new ballpark next April. But if McKeon can pull off a repeat of 2003, he might get a multiyear contract. That team was floundering when he took over in May, and he led it to a title, with postseason wins over the Giants, Cubs and Yankees.

UNC knocks out Texas The Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. — North Carolina freshman left-hander Kent Emanuel pitched the first complete-game shutout at the College World Series in five years in a 3-0 victory that eliminated Texas on Monday. Emanuel limited the Longhorns to four singles in his third win of the NCAA tournament and first career shutout. Jacob Stallings hit a two-run single in the third inning and Ben Bunting finished a four-hit day with an RBI double in the ninth for the Tar Heels (51-15), who play Vanderbilt or Florida on Wednesday. Texas (49-19) went two games and out for the second time in 25 CWS appearances since 1966 and for the fourth time in its record 34 trips to Omaha. The last time was in 2000. Emanuel walked one and struck out five. North Carolina’s Robert Woodard pitched the last shutout here, blanking Clemson in 2006. The last freshman to do it was LSU’s Brett Laxton in 1993 against Wichita State.

Historic rematch set for today By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — Anyone at Wimbledon a year ago, it seems, remembers bits and pieces of the longest match in tennis history, the 11-hour, 5-minute marathon between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut. It stretched over three days before Isner won 70-68 in the fifth set. Get ready for the rematch, scheduled to begin today at the All England Club. Fittingly, perhaps, Isner-Mahut II might not finish Tuesday. That’s because theirs is the fourth match on tap for Court 3 — and the forecast calls for rain. Court 3 holds 1,980 spectators, about 1,200 more than tiny Court 18, which now bears a plaque noting it was the site of the 2010 original Isner-Mahut. Their rematch has been the talk of the tennis world ever since they were randomly selected to face each other again in the first round in Friday’s draw. “I thought, ’Oh, this is a joke.’ And I thought, ’Well, is it really real? Is it really true?”’ Serena Williams said. Rafael Nadal said that when he

fortable, perfect. Personally, I wouldn’t wear this, because it’s not going to look good on me. But if it’s white, you can play. That’s the rule. If everybody wears the same, it’s boring.” Williams’ outfit — and, of course, superb play, which betrayed no lingering effects from her injury — generated the most buzz on Day 1 in the 125th edition of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. “I do realize I don’t have as many matches,” said Williams, only 5-2 this season and only 9-3 since last July. “So, yeah, for sure, I know I need to kind of come out firing. Been pretty good at that in the past — and today.” Others reaching the second round included 10-time major champion Rafael Nadal, whose parents sat in the Royal Box during his 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory over 90th-ranked Michael Russell of Houston; No. 4 Andy Murray, and No. 10 Mardy Fish. It was Nadal’s first chance to play the tournament’s opening match on Centre Court, an honor given to the defending men’s champion, and something he called a “big emotion.” Bad knees forced Nadal to withdraw in 2009, a year after he won Wimbledon for the first time. He was more blase about his parents’ special seats, saying: “It doesn’t make any difference to me whether I see them in my (guest) box or in the Royal Box. But I think it was a beautiful experience for them.” Nadal now faces another American, 69th-ranked Ryan Sweeting of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., who dropped the first two sets against Pablo Andujar of Spain before coming all the way back to win 3-6, 4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 6-1. It’ll be Sweeting’s third match against Nadal this year. Nadal won the others in straight sets, including at the Australian Open. “They keep putting me up in the top half of the draw. I don’t know what the deal is,” Sweeting said. “What can I say? He’s obviouslyoneofthetoughestopponents to play on any surface.” The second question at Nadal’s news conference concernedwhetherhebelievesMurray, Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic is likeliest to thwart his title hopes. “My biggest opponent is Sweeting now. I am focused on my part of the draw. I’m focused on myself. To play against Andy or Djokovic or Federer only can be in the final; against Andy in the semifinals,” the Spaniard replied. “So let’s talk about today. Let’s talk about tomorrow. ... Let’s (not) talk about ... 10 days or 12 days (from now), because I don’t know if I am here or I am fishing in Mallorca.” Four seeded players exited Monday, including No. 28 Ekate-

heard the news, he felt “sorry for them.” Right after the draw, Andy Murray suggested in a tweet that this year’s match between American Isner and Frenchman Mahut should be on Centre Court. But Wimbledon announced the Court 3 placement Monday, Day 1 of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament. “Their match last year was inrina Makarova of Russia, who was beaten 2-6, 6-1, 8-6 by 19year-old Christina McHale of Englewood Cliffs, N.J. McHale entered the day 1-6 in Grand Slam matches. No.17 Kaia Kanepi lost to Sara Errani 6-1, 6-4, No. 22 Shahar Peer was eliminated 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 by Ksenia Pervak, and No. 30 Thomaz Bellucci was sent home in straight sets by 35year-old Rainer Schuettler, the oldest man in the field. Otherwise, the most significant development probably was the rain that began falling at about 5 p.m., resulting in the suspension of 14 matches in progress and the postponement of 17 others. Two matches were played under the retractable roof, which was added to Centre Court before the 2009 tournament. That included two-time Wimbledon semifinalist Murray’s 4-6, 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 victory over 59th-ranked Daniel Gimeno-Traver of Spain. Murray is trying to give Britain its first male champion at any Grand Slam tournament since 1936, and he overcame a slow start against Gimeno-Traver, a first-round loser for the eighth time in 12 major tournaments. Earlier, in a match tied 1-1 in the third set when rain began falling, Francesca Schiavone — the 2010 champion and 2011runner-up at the French Open — beat Jelena Dokic 6-4, 1-6, 6-3. “For me, personally, Wimbledon is with no roof,” said Schiavone, who said she got a chance to get advice from her coach during the 50-minute delay in action while the court was covered. “But it’s great for English people to have the roof.” Williams stopped one game into her third-round match at the Australian Open in January after aggravating her hurt hip. She returned to action last week at a grass-court tuneup tournament in Eastbourne, going 2-1 there, and Monday looked nothing like someone who was rusty. Because she hasn’t played much at all over the last 12 months, Williams thought she “had a little pressure on me to come out and swing as usual.” She made zero unforced errors in the second set, taking the last six games and the last 12 points. She claimed 15 of the final 17 points she served. “On her serve, it was almost impossible,” Amanmuradova said, opening her eyes wide. “I actually never played anyone on the tour serving as hard and as fast as she does.” Williams, once ranked No. 1, dropped to 33rd this month. She’s at No. 30 this week, but was seeded 23rd as a nod to her five Wimbledon titles and a career record at the All England Club that’s now 69-9. “I’m smarter, if anything, than five years ago,” said Williams, who turned 31Friday. “More and more players are starting to realize that it’s an advantage to be able to play longer, because then you actually understand the game.”

credible. It’s not going to happen again. It will never happen again,” Murray said. “I feel for them a little bit that people might be hyping the match up a lot, and it’s not going to be the same scoreline.” Asked what he recalls from the original Isner-Mahut match, Murray said: “Like, you’d go and practice and then you’d come back, and you’d be like, ’Oh, it’s

still going.’ Then you’d go, like, for lunch, come back, it’s, like, 34all. It’s just weird. Every time you would go away and do something, you were sort of preparing yourself for the next match. They were just going for so long. It was amazing.” Roger Federer said players will be monitoring this year’s rematch closely. “It’s great for tennis. It’s a great buzz. It was an amazing story last year,” Federer said. “They would have had a bit of a focus this year anyway, coming back, but with the rematch, it gives Mahut a chance to redeem himself from last year.” Isner has said he’d like eventually to accomplish something else in tennis — such as winning a Grand Slam championship — so people don’t associate him immediately with his long, long, long match. Mahut, for his part, said in an interview during the French Open that he doesn’t mind if people always connect him with what he did June 22-24, 2010. “Maybe in 10 or 20 years,” Mahut said, “people won’t remember which one of us won that match.”

Goddess-like Venus dazzles in white dress The Associated Press

WIMBLEDON, England — Dressed much like the goddess with whom she shares a name, Venus Williams is quite the fashion plate at Wimbledon. The five-time champion is wearing a white romper — an all-in-one outfit with shorts and cutout sleeves and a big triangle cut out the back. The playsuit has a “V” neckline

and is adorned with a gold belt and zipper in the front. Williams says it’s a jumper, and “jumpers are very ’now,’ as is lace.” She also likes the draping shoulders, which she calls “in the moment.” She says: “It’s just kind of like a trendy dress. It’s fun.” Williams routed Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan 6-3, 6-1 Monday to reach the second round.

WIMBLEDON, England — Two-time Wimbledon winner Rafael Nadal finally got his chance to walk out on Centre Court as the defending champion at the All England Club — and made the most of it. The top-ranked Spaniard won the Wimbledon title in 2008, but he missed the following year’s tournament because of injuries. He returned in 2010 and won again. “Seriously, I never played in a court like this,” Nadal said after beating American Michael Russell 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 Monday in the first round. “Was a big emotion (to) be the first player to play in this fabulous court.” Nadal won his 10th Grand Slam title this month at the French Open, and he can win the European major double for the third time in four years if he defends his title in southwest London. But with Ryan Sweeting waiting in the second round, he’s not even close to thinking that far ahead just yet. “I am focused on my part of the draw. I’m focused on myself,” said Nadal, who could meet Andy Murray in the semifinals and possibly Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic in the final. “So let’s talk about today. Let’s talk about tomorrow. Not let’s talk about in 10 days or 12 days, because I don’t know if I am here or I am fishing in Mallorca. “You never know what’s going on in a tournament like this.” Against Russell, the topseeded Spaniard was a break down at 4-2 in the first set before reeling off six straight games to take the first set and a 2-0 lead in the second. Nadal broke three times in the second set and twice in the third in the tournament’s opening match on the biggest court. And to make the victory extra special, Nadal’s parents

watched the match from the Royal Box. “For sure can just say thanks to Wimbledon, to the people who organize this fantastic tournament to invite my mother and father to the Royal Box,” Nadal said. “I think for them was a great experience.” Besides thinking of himself and his family, however, Nadal also took time to praise U.S. Open golf champion Rory McIlroy. The two stars met last year in New York.

Murray’s messages; McHale upsets seeded player The Associated Press

WIMBLEDON, England — One message read: “Believe in yourself and never give up.” Another simply said: “Make history.” The words of support from Facebook fans printed on Andy Murray’s racket bag looked as if they might be having the opposite effect Monday when he dropped his first set at Wimbledon. Then, as if flicking on a switch, Murray reeled off 15 consecutive games for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 victo-

ry over Daniel Gimeno-Traver to reach the second round. Gimeno-Traver began the match confidently under the roof at Centre Court and hit some particularly good forehands, but by the end, the 56th-ranked Spaniard looked every bit the player who has lost in the first round at eight of his 12 Grand Slam tournaments. And Murray’s unusual bag — the brainchild of his racket sponsor — didn’t end up being consigned to history. Murray said it

might even turn out to be a source of inspiration in the future. “I didn’t today, but a lot of players in the past have done it with having notes in their bag, and some have had things written on like their rackets or something, on the back of their hand,” he said. “Players have done those sort of things a lot in the past. And, yeah, something I could do if I felt like I needed it.” Murray is once again carrying

the hopes of the home nation, desperate for the first British male champion at Wimbledon since 1936. The 24-year-old from Scotland has reached the semifinals the past two years, and after a poor run of form following a loss to Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final, he has raised hopes again by making the French Open semifinals and winning the grasscourt title at Queen’s Club last week.

Stewart to get $1.65M West Virginia says former football coach Bill Stewart will receive $1.65 million as part of a settlement agreement with the university. WVU released the agreement Monday to The Associated Press under a West Virginia Freedom of Information Act request. The agreement is dated June 10, the same day Stewart resigned. Coach-inwaiting Dana Holgorsen was introduced as head coach that night. Athletic director Oliver Luck has said the university was unable to substantiate unspecified rumors that had dogged the program in recent weeks. Among them, a former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter said Stewart called him shortly after Holgorsen’s hiring last December and asked him to find something negative on the new hire. NFL

LB awarded $5.4M A federal judge has ordered a Florida supplements company to pay more than $5.4 million to St. Louis Rams linebacker David Vobora. U.S. District Judge Rodney Sippel entered the order against the AntiSteroid Program LLC of Key Largo, Fla., on Friday. Vobora had sued the company over what he said was a contaminated supplement that led to a four-game suspension by the NFL for violating its antidrug policy. The player says he used the company’s “Ultimate Sports Spray” in June 2009 without knowing it contained the banned substance methyltestosterone. His lawsuit accused the company of intentionally misleading him. The judge’s order includes $2 million for damage to Vobora’s reputation.

Key meeting starts today NFL owners will meet today, and perhaps into Wednesday, in Chicago to discuss the status of negotiations with the players aimed at ending the lockout now in its fourth month. Amid optimism that momentum has been gained to reach a new collective bargaining agreement, owners and representatives from the 32 teams will get details of the latest talks. In the last three weeks, groups led by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith have made progress toward a CBA that would allow training camps to open on time late next month. But no one is saying a deal is imminent, and several owners are known to have strong questions about proposals being discussed with the players. NASCAR

Sources: Red Bull quitting Multiple people familiar with the decision say Red Bull plans to leave NASCAR at the end of this season. Those familiar with the decision also say a team official traveled to Michigan Speedway last weekend to inform industry leaders of Red Bull’s decision. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement has not been made to team employees. Red Bull is both the owner and sponsor of the two-car NASCAR team. The team has struggled since its 2007 entry into NASCAR. Red Bull also owns a pair of two-car Formula One teams. Current points leader Sebastian Vettel is the reigning world champion and has won five of seven Grand Prix races this season. NHL

Richards joins Blue Jackets The Columbus Blue Jackets say former Minnesota Wild head coach Todd Richards is joining their staff as an assistant coach. Columbus coach Scott Arniel says he was looking for someone with head coaching experience to fill the job and he respects Richards, who was fired by Minnesota earlier this year. Richards, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins coach for two seasons beginning in 2006, became Minnesota’s coach in 2009 and led the team to a 77-71-16 record during his tenure. Before joining the Wild, he was an assistant coach with the San Jose Sharks for a year and coached in the American Hockey League. He had played for the University of Minnesota from 1985 to 1989 and was drafted by Montreal. He spent most of his 13 seasons as a player in the AHL and the International Hockey League.

shoulder was sore but no structural damage was found. Though his .279 average is 50 points below his career numbers, Pujols was starting to heat up after a slow start and went 3 for 3 with a homer in his last at-bat on Sunday. He’s among the league leaders with 17 homers and 45 RBIs. Pujols was hurt trying to make a tag after taking an off-line throw from second baseman Pete Kozma and the Royals’ Wilson Betemit collided with the glove hand. “He hit me on my wrist and my shoulder,” Pujols said afterward. “He kind of jammed me back. It’s the toughest play to make as a first baseman. It’s a bang-bang play. I saw the replay a couple of times, but I didn’t really want to look at it.” Betemit said there was no way to avoid the collision. “I was running hard and the ball arrived at the same time I got to the base,” Betemit said. “That’s part of the game. I couldn’t do anything about it.” Mozeliak said he hadn’t spoken with Pujols, who had been optimistic after the game that the injury wasn’t serious. “I was optimistic we were going to get better news,” Mozeliak said. “I really was.” The 31-year-old Pujols is due to enter free agency this fall after rejecting a multiyear contract extension at the start of spring training. He will be placed on the 15-day disabled list for only the third time in his career and the Cardinals said they would announce a

The program also features Penn State’s Matt Millen and Michael Robinson along with Duke’s Jay Bilas and Jay Williams. As for the coaches, it didn’t take long for the new friends to start playing off of one another, with the deadpan Krzyzewski often the straight man to Paterno’s clowning. One of the segments revolved around the influence of family on both coaches, whose wives and children are involved in their respective programs. Krzyzewski, who has three daughters, said his dating advice to all of them was simple. “Find someone who’s good-looking, someone you can trust,” and not, he

Among the top options are first baseman-outfielder Mark Hamilton and infielder Tyler Greene, both of whom were optioned to Triple-A Memphis last week. St. Louis was tied with the Brewers atop the NL Central despite the latest in a string of injuries. Pujols was hurt three days after cleanup hitter Matt Holliday returned from a quadriceps injury that landed him on the 15-day disabled list, and Holliday also missed time following an appendectomy. Third baseman David Freese, second baseman Skip Schumaker and pitcher Kyle McClellan also have missed significant time for a franchise that early in spring training lost 20-game winner Adam Wainwright for the season. “It’s tough,” pitcher Kyle Lohse said. “It’s kind of been the story to the season, it just seems like every month something’s happening.” Freese and utilityman Nick Punto have begun rehab stints and Mozeliak said they wouldn’t be rushed back. Mozeliak didn’t anticipate Allen Craig, on the DL with a knee injury, back for 3-4 weeks. Lance Berkman took over at first base after the injury and could serve as the long-term fill-in at the position, although both Mozeliak and La Russa hedged on that. Berkman began the year as a full-time outfielder for the first time since 2004 and said earlier in the year that he anticipated outfield play to be easier on his legs because there would be fewer stops and starts. “Getting Lance in a place where he’s physically feeling the best is a really good answer for us,” La Russa said. joked, basketball players. Davis went to pose a new question to Paterno, who cut off the host before motioning to Krzyzewski. “I wonder what his wife’s father told her?” Zing. The coaches also fielded questions from handpicked Penn State students in attendance and Duke students live by remote from Durham, N.C. Paterno, infamous for seizing on particular words or phrases that irk him, did just that when one of his questions from the crowd referred to him as an icon. “Tell me, what is an icon?” Paterno shrugged. “If you mean some goodlooking, handsome guy…” Laughter. “…Yeah, I like (the title).” Davis then made quick reference to the life-size Paterno statue that sits on the east side of Beaver Stadium. “Actually,” Krzyzewski interjected, “I

the hit.” Warren pushed his record to 5-2 as SWB has now won 10 of Warren’s 14 starts this season. He has won his last three starts and in those outings he has pitched 23 innings, giving up just two runs and 11 hits. “Just going out there getting ahead of guys is huge for me,” Warren added. “I think it’s just how baseball works. If you get ahead of guys you can really play around with them, but if you’re behind you have to throw the pitch they’re looking for, a fastball.” The Yankees scored single runs in the second and fourth innings on a pair of RBI-doubles and that’s all the 23-year-old needed. P.J. Pilittere drove in Jordan Parraz in the second for a 1-0 lead. In the fourth, Parraz doubled in Brandon Laird to put SWB up 2-0. The offense also pounded out seven hits, which was welcome given that slugger Jorge Vazquez – who leads the International League in home runs– was placed on the disabled list with 20 before the game. Jesus Montero paced the Yankee offense going 2-for-4 with a double, while Greg Golson, Kevin Russo and Doug Bernier also picked up singles. Parraz has been the hottest Yankee over the last six games going 7-for-18 with three RBI and three runs scored. “He usually gives you real good atbats,” Miley said about Parraz. “He’s one of the guys that really concenthink your statue should be bigger.” Things picked up when the topic turned to the recent scandals that have clouded major college sports. When asked what the NCAA can improve upon, both Krzyzewski and Paterno took the governing body to task. “It needs to modernize,” Krzyzewski said. “We need to revamp the whole system to keep up with the culture we have – electronics, for example.” Krzyzewski mentioned text and instant messaging along with Paterno’s newest recruiting aid – Skype video teleconferencing – as areas that need to be updated in the rulebook. Not just with recruiting, he said, but with keeping in touch with players in the offseason. “The NCAA needs to give us more opportunities to teach,” Krzyzewski said. “The access to players, speaking for basketball, is absolutely unacceptable.” Paterno echoed the thought, relating a story that he walked past the team’s

As for the upcoming season, Paterno said he believes last season’s disappointments are already serving as motivation for his returning players. “We weren’t very good last year,” Paterno said. “And we’ve got a buncha kids who aren’t happy about it. … They didn’t come here to be (7-6).”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

McIlroy labeled as future of golf

Conference leaders averaged $1 million

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

BETHESDA, Md. — The manner in which Rory McIlroy won the U.S. Open made comparisons with Tiger Woods inevitable. Not since Woods’ historic 15-shot win at Pebble Beach in 2000 has anyone crushed the competition at a U.S. Open. McIlroy’s performance was so stunning at Congressional that only four of his 72 holes were worse than par, he broke the scoring record by four shots and finished at an astounding 16-under 268. Such a score is rare at the other three majors. It’s unfathomable for a U.S. Open. But there was more than just his golf. The buzz around the 22year-old from Northern Ireland made this feel like the 1997 Masters. That was a watershed moment in sports, signaling the arrival of Woods. He brought a breathtaking blend of power and putting, seized control of the tournament on the second day, demoralized Colin Montgomerie in the third round and won by 12 shots with a record score to become the youngest Masters champion. Woods wasn’t at Congressional, but at times it felt like it. The energy picked up late Friday morning, right after McIlroy holed out a pitching wedge for eagle on the par-4 eighth to become only the fifth player in U.S. Open history to reach double-digits under par. The difference was it took him only 26 holes, and he was just getting warmed up. When he stood on the 10th tee, thousands of fans stood shoulderto-shoulder from the tee all the way up the hill to the clubhouse. They crowded onto the verandah at the clubhouse, and there were so many fans leaning against the railing on the balcony they looked like passengers on a cruise ship coming into port. All this to see a Boy Wonder who just might be the future of golf.

Golf might be ready for a new star, especially considering the personal failures of Woods and the health problems that cloud his future. McIlroy brings a killer instinct to the course, yet already has shown he can lose as well as he can win. Leave it to a kid, however, to preach patience. As he was on his way to posting the first sub-200 score over 54 holes in a U.S. Open — 14under 199 — in the third round, Padraig Harrington declared him as being the player perhaps best suited to chase Jack Nicklaus’ benchmark of 18 professional majors. “If you’re going to talk about someone challenging Jack’s record, there’s your man,” Harrington said. “Winning majors at 22 with his talent, he would have 20 more years ... where he could be competitive. It would give him a great chance.” Upon hearing this, McIlroy bowed his head and said quietly into the microphone with playful condemnation, “Paddy, Paddy, Paddy.” Then came Sunday, when he was as relentless as ever, stretching his lead to as many as 10 shots, and his score as low as 17 under. Graeme McDowell, who grew up hearing about and then appreciating the skill of McIlroy, said he was the “best player I’ve ever seen.” These are the expectations that will follow McIlroy to Royal St. George’s for the British Open, to Atlanta for the PGA Championship, and to every major he plays for a long time, if not the rest of his career. His name is on the U.S. Open roll of champions with Woods, a three-time winner. For now, that’s where the similarities end. The comparisons are mainly a product of youth, skill and delivering on potential. In his first trip to America as a pro, McIlroy’s peers figured it was only a matter of time before he won the biggest events and rose to No. 1. He was that good, his swing that simple and pure, his talent simply too much to ignore. McIlroy became the secondyoungest player to win a major since the Masters began in

1934, trailing Woods in that 1997 Masters by about 10 months. That’s why there is so much excitement about his future, and rightfully so. However, this was his 10th major as a pro. Woods won in his professional debut at the majors. The one question about McIlroy, aside from his putting, was his ability to finish. For someone with so much talent, this was only his third career victory in 107 starts in European and PGA Tour events. Woods already had won 31 tournaments, including five majors, after his 107 starts in European and PGA Tour sanctioned tournaments. Four of those majors were won in a span of 294 days, an achievement that might rank among the most difficult to match. “When you win a major quite early in your career, everyone is going to draw comparisons,” McIlroy said. “It’s natural.” McIlroy does not shy away from the expectations, although he has amazing perspective for one so young. “It’s nice that people say that ’He could be this’ or ’He could be that’ or ’He could win 20 major championships,”’ he said. “But at the end of the day, I’ve won one. I obviously want to add to that tally. But you can’t let what other people think of you, influence what you have to do. You have to just go out there, work hard, believe in yourself.” There’s another reason for all the excitement. Golf has been searching for a star since the downfall of Woods, who has not won any tournaments since his person-

sports agent; the NCAA concluded that the father of last year’s Heisman winner, Cam Newton, tried to sell his son’s services to Mississippi State; and, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel and star QB Terrelle Pryor both left the school this spring in the wake of revelations that Pryor and other players sold memorabilia for cash and tattoos. Indiana University President Michael McRobbie, the Big Ten board chairman, said his conference’s presidents and chancellors believe Delany is worth “every penny” that he receives. “The board has enormous confidence in the commissioner, thinks that he’s done an outstanding job,” McRobbie said in a telephone interview. “We’re very, very pleased with the progress in the conference under the commissioner’s leadership.” The board chairmen of the ACC, SEC and Big12 were all said by aides to be unavailable for interviews. The conferences, which oversee a host of college sports besides football, operate as 501(c) (3) charitable organizations, meaning their operations are taxexempt. The compensation is generally set by boards of directors made up of the member schools’ presidents and chancellors. The six conferences, all of which receive automatic bids to Bowl Championship Series games, are among11that make up college football’s highest level. The other five don’t receive automatic bids and receive smaller bowl payouts from the BCS, although those payments have increased in recent years as overall BCS revenue has grown. Those five conferences — Mountain West, Mid-American, Sun Belt, Conference USA and the Western Athletic Conference— all paid their commissioners less than $600,000 in 2009.

WASHINGTON — Four of college football’s six powerhouse conferences paid their top executives $1 million or more, an Associated Press analysis of tax records shows, far eclipsing the compensation of most university presidents. A review of 2009 IRS returns, the most recent available, shows that Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany was the highest paid, receiving total compensation valued at $1.6 million, followed by Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner John Swofford ($1.1 million), Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive ($1 million) and Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe ($997,000). The other two commissioners each started in July 2009, so their compensation figures are only for the last six months of the year: PAC-10’s Larry Scott ($735,000), and Big East’s John Marinatto ($366,000). Those figures include base salary and benefits such as health insurance, as well as other forms of pay such as retirement and deferred compensation. On an annual or prorated basis, only Marinatto made less than the median pay of presidents of the nation’s large research universities, which was $760,774 in 2008, according to a Chronicle of Higher Education survey published last fall. The new data about commissioner salaries comes at a time when, driven by a series of controversies at major programs, there’s a growing chorus about the problems of enforcing amateurism in college football, saying it may be time to rethink the system as everyone but the athletes are making big money. Southern California was put on probation last year after 2005 Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush was discovered to have received improper benefits from a

al life and image were shattered in November 2009, and whose health is such now that no one knows when he’ll play his next event, much less his next major. Martin Kaymer won the PGA Championship and eventually rose to No. 1 for two months. Lee Westwood now has five top 3s in his last 12 majors. Luke Donald is still No. 1 in the world and playing some of the best and most consistent golf. None have been as dynamic as McIlroy, on and off the golf course. By winning the U.S. Open, he has been atop the leaderboard in a major for seven of the last eight rounds, and he has been in the lead at some point in the last three majors — he lost a four-shot lead in the final round at the Masters with that well-documented 80, and he briefly shared the lead at Whistling Straits at the PGA Championship until missing a 20-foot birdie putt on the last hole to finish one behind. Who knows what the rest of the summer will hold for McIlroy. But for now, it’s hard not to imagine that if not for that 80 at Augusta, McIlroy would be headed to the British for the third leg of the Grand Slam.

More bad housing news

It’s a foregone conclusion that today’s news from the National Association of Realtors will be bleak. The trade group releases its report on sales of previously occupied homes during May. We already know that the spring selling season for new and previously occupied homes has been a bust. The economy was showing signs of slowing last month, and so it’s likely that many would-be buyers decided this isn’t the time to buy.

As the Federal Reserve begins a two-day meeting today, Chairman Ben Bernanke and other officials are faced with two big problems: a slowing U.S. economy and a threat from Europe’s increasing debt troubles. The Fed has to consider how it Chairman can help what Bernanke has Ben Bernanke called a “frustratingly slow” U.S. economy. And, how to shield the economy if the crisis in Europe worsens. Bernanke holds a news conference after the meeting Wednesday.

Liberty is interested in the company’s online and e-book operations.

Geisinger Health System and Bloomsburg Health System announced Monday the signing of a non-binding letter of intent to explore the potential merger of the smaller Bloomsburg Health System into Geisinger Health System. In a press release, officials from both organizations stressed they are in the early stages of exploring possibilities. No timetable has been set to complete the process. Geisinger and Bloomsburg already collaborate in a number of areas and Geisinger provides laboratory and clinical engineering services at Bloomsburg. Geisinger and Shamokin Area Community Hospital are working toward a similar agreement.

Table games net $458M The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Monday announced that table games at the state’s 10 operating casinos produced $51.4 million in gross revenue in May generating $8,282,211 in tax revenue. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Plains Township reported $3.3 million in gross revenues in May for its 84 tables. Mount Airy Casino near Mount Pocono reported $3.19 million for its 72 tables. At Mohegan Sun, the May totals were lower than the $3.6 million reported in April. At Mount Airy, the May totals were higher than the $3.14 million the previous month. May’s totals brought the fiscal year gross revenue from table games in the state to $458.3 million.

Investors largely put aside their concerns about the Greek financial crisis Monday and focused instead on value. Stocks rose broadly after the market shook off its longest weekly losing streak in nearly a decade. The downturn brought the S&P 500 close to its average level over the prior 200 days. So long as the index doesn’t sink far below that level, many technical traders see it as a sign to start buying stocks again. Health care companies like Aetna Inc. and Humana Inc. rose 1 percent, the largest gain among the 10 industry groups that make up the S&P 500 index. Financial companies like Morgan Stanley, which lost 1.9 percent, were the only group to lose ground.

Boeing announced more than $11 billion worth of orders and commitments for 56 jets on Monday as the show, the industry’s main event of the year, got under way. European plane-making consortium Airbus wasted little time in announcing its own deals, racking up orders and commitments for 142 aircraft valued at $15 billion. Boeing also said it had received commitments and orders from two undisclosed buyers for 17 of the hulking 747-8 passenger planes, with a book value of $5.4 billion.

PNC buys Royal Bank of Canada U.S. The Associated Press

NEW YORK — PNC Financial Services Group Inc. said Monday that it is buying the U.S. retail operations of Royal Bank of Canada for $3.45 billion. Pittsburgh-based PNC said the transaction will bring its branch total to 2,870 and make it the fifth biggest among U.S. banks. RBC Bank (USA), based in Raleigh, N.C., has 424 branches and about $25 billion of assets. PNC Chairman and CEO James Rohr said in a statement that the RBC acquisition will give PNC access to “attractive southeast markets in a way that will create value for our shareholders.” The deal adds about $19 billion of deposits and $16 billion of loans based on RBC Bank (USA) balances as of April 30.

RBC President and CEO Gordon Nixon said in a statement that RBC is fully committed to the U.S. market. He said the deal allows it to concentrate efforts on growing its wealth management and capital market services, which are the two largest components of its U.S. businesses. PNC has also agreed to buy certain credit card assets of RBC Bank, (Georgia) National Association. RBC says that it will receive$165 million for the credit card assets. It is the second big banking transaction in recent days following the announcement that U.S. bank Capital One Financial Corp. struck a $9

billion deal to buy the online bank of the Dutch financial services company ING. A Wall Street Journal report on Sunday said that Pittsburgh-based PNC beat out rival regional bank BB&T Corp. for the RBC operations. PNC has the option to pay for the deal with up to $1 billion in common stock. The company expects to pay for the cash portion of the transaction with available cash, debt issuance and a preferred stock offering. It expects the buyout to add to its earnings by the end of 2013 or sooner depending on if any of the purchase price is paid for with its common stock. The acquisition, which has been approved by both companies’ boards, is expected to close in March.

Duke Nukem Forever in the microwave too long THE DUKE Nukem franchise is 20 years old. For those of you who aren’t aware, Duke Nukem is a “first person shooter” -- a fighting game in which you get to blast alien creatures bent on world domination. But unlike typical first person shooters (the “Doom” series comes to mind), Duke Nukem wasn’t satisfied with the controversy that gets heaped upon violent video games. No, the game’s creators felt the need to push things just a bit further, particularly with Duke Nukem 3D, which featured graphic violence, obscenities, drug use and other content some people find offensive. Sales of the game were banned in Brazil and are heavily regulated in most other countries. Keep in mind that this was back in 1996, before most computers even had CD-ROM drives. Then, in 1997, the series went on hiatus. Fans were assured that “a sequel was in the works,” and Duke Nukem Forever was announced, with a release date pegged for the follow-

SINGAPORE — Internet minders voted Monday to allow virtually unlimited new domain names based on themes as varied as company brands, entertainment and political causes, in the system’s biggest shake-up since it started 26 years ago. Groups able to pay the $185,000 application can petition next year for new updates to “.com” and “.net” with website suffixes using nearly any word in any language, including in Arabic, Chinese and other scripts, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers decided at a meeting in Singapore. “This is the start of a whole new phase for the Internet,” said Peter Dengate Thrush, chairman of ICANN’s board of di- ICANN’s decirectors. “Unless there sion culminates is a good reason to re- six years of strain it, innovation should be allowed to negotiations and is the bigrun free.” ICANN’s decision gest change to culminates six years the system of negotiations and is the biggest change to since “.com” the system since “.com” made its debut in 1984. The expansion plan had been delayed largely because of concerns that new suffixes could infringe on trademarks and copyrights. High-profile entertainment, consumer goods and financial services companies will likely be among the first to apply for their own domain name in a bid to protect their brands, experts said. “It will allow corporations to better take control of their brands,” said Theo Hnarakis, chief executive of Melbourne IT, which manages online brands for clients such as Volvo, LEGO and GlaxoSmithKline. “For example, .apple or .ipad would take customers right to those products.” The surge in domains should help alleviate some of the overlap of names in the most popular suffixes, especially “.com”, which has 94 million sites registered. Analysts said they expect 500 to 1,000 new domain names, mostly companies and products, but also cities and generic names such as “.bank” or “.hotel.” Groups have formed to back “.sport” for sporting sites, and two conservationist groups separately are seeking the right to operate an “.eco” suffix. ICANN plans to auction off domains if multiple parties have legitimate claims. However, it expects companies will likely strike deals among themselves to avoid a public auction. The application process is arduous — the fee is $185,000 and the guidebook is 360 pages — and meant to prevent scammers from grabbing valuable domain names. ICANN will receive applications for new domains for 90 days beginning Jan. 12. ICANN said it has set aside up to $2 million to assist applicants from developing countries. ICANN said in a statement that it will mount a global publicity campaign to raise awareness of the opportunities of new domain names. Any company, organization or individual can bid for a new suffix — but it will cost.

Greece on the brink

Is Greece heading for disaster? The answer won’t come for weeks or months, but financial analysts are not optimistic. Greece is in talks with creditors about a second package of loans similar to the $157 billion bailout it got last year. They’re trying to keep Greece from defaulting on its debt. To get the new loans, Greece will probably be forced to adopt more tax hikes and pension cuts. The prospect of new cuts has already led to riots. Here are some questions and answers about Greece’s problems:

How likely is a default? Bond traders are betting that a default is almost certain. It now costs more than ever to

Why is a potential default so troubling? Banks lend money to governments and each other. If Greece defaults,

banks will charge more money for loans or stop lending altogether. They’ll also have to raise at least $300 billion to cover insurance contracts on Greek debt. Many analysts say what happened after Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008 could happen again. Lending froze around the world.

SOURCES: ESRI; CIA and International Monetary Fund

That deepened the global recession.

How would a wider European crisis hurt the U.S.? American banks say they could handle a crisis. They had about $43 billion in Greek debt at the end of September 2010, compared with $113 billion tied to Ireland and $187 billion to Spain. It’s impossible to tell which banks are holding more Greek debt than the others. When credit freezes or it gets more expensive to borrow, other European countries could end up in a similar situation to Greece’s — deep in debt and unable to borrow more to pay it off. U.S. banks could end up with bad bonds on their books, just as they’re working off bad loans from the mortgage crisis a few years ago. American money market funds are heavily invested in European bank debt, too.

A big storm system has formed over the center of the country and will slowly begin moving east. It will spread warmer air over Pennsylvania this week, as a strong soutwest flow develops ahead of it. As this storm approaches, showers and thunderstorms will also develop ahead of it. Morning sunshiine will give way to a partly sunny afternoon. We expect a few pop-up showers and thundertorms but a good portion of eastern Pennsylvania will remain dry. Afternoon temperatures will climb into the 80s again. Tonight will be partly cloudy and a passing shower is possible. -KKurt Aaron

There are telltale signs that a product has gone bad. Moldy bread. Clumpy milk. The layer of fur blanketing the cream cheese. But what about the toothpaste sitting in your pantry for years after a zealous bulk purchase? Or those condoms waiting optimistically in your nightstand for longer than you wish you recall? Many such products carry expiration dates, but thrifty shoppers often wonder if they really must toss dated items that still â&#x20AC;&#x153;seemâ&#x20AC;? perfectly fine. After all, how can headache medicine stop working from one month to the next? And why should you believe the expiration date on one lotion when another doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t carry one at all? The Food and Drug Administration requires that expiration dates be printed on all prescription and over-the-counter drugs, but not on cosmetics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unless the cosmetics are also considered drugs, such as toothpaste with fluoride, anything with sunscreen, anti-dandruff shampoo and antiperspirant. But even then, over-the-counter drugs without dose limitations donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to carry expiration dates if tests have proven theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stable for at least three years, which is why one sunscreen may have a date while another wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Expiration dates tend to be conservative to account for a wide range of storage conditions and consumer handling, said Dr. John Bailey, chief scientist with the Personal Care Products Council, an industry trade group. But for some products there can be a cushion. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a guide to products that commonly

Students in the program wouldnotneedtotravelasfartocomplete their clinical work, but may need to come on campus a few times to complete specific hands-on training that is required.

Doctors aim to change teen driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; focus By IRENE KRAFT The Morning Call, Allentown, Pa.

A team of Lehigh Valley Health Network trauma doctors are on a mission to reduce a portion of their business. They are growing weary, they say, of treating teen accident victims and even more weary of giving bad news to their parents -- news that their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future will be seriously altered or that there is no future at all for their child. Sadly, they see many unnecessary trauma injuries and deaths at their jobs -- accidents that could be avoided if teens did not talk or text on cellphones while driving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My colleagues and I would rather not have this kind of business,â&#x20AC;? trauma surgeon Robert Barraco told a group of people attending a recent talk on Distracted Driving at Lehigh Valley Hospital -- Cedar Crest. It was part of a community education program the hospital launched in October to cut down on the number of accidents caused by distracted drivers.

DEADLY DRIVING DISTRACTIONS

â&#x20AC;˘ Cellphone use: texting and talking. (Using a hands-free device doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really reduce risk.) â&#x20AC;˘ Grooming. (Combing hair, putting on mascara , etc.) â&#x20AC;˘ Eating and drinking. (Our culture encourages this danger with drive-thru windows.) â&#x20AC;˘ Smoking. â&#x20AC;˘ Reading (maps, books, etc.). â&#x20AC;˘ Passengers. (For teens, the number of passengers is proportionate to accident risk.) â&#x20AC;˘ Pets (particularly those sitting on your lap while you drive). Source: Lehigh Valley Health Network

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 80 percent of crashes, drivers were distracted within three seconds of the crash,â&#x20AC;? says Barraco. Among those who attended the class were Amanda Demczyszyn, 16, of Lehigh TownSee FOCUS, Page 3C

Q: Are there any tests out there for Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease? A: As of now, the only definitive test for Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease is the analysis of brain tissue after death. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why folks with a presumptive diagnosis of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease are described as having senile dementia of the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s type, or SDAT. However, there may soon be a new blood test that can accurately diagnose a person with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease and differentiate it from other forms of dementia like multi-infarct (vascular) dementia. Researchers at Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McGill University have found that there is a dramatic difference between the production of the hormone DHEA in folks with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease versus non-dementia or even other forms of dementia. DHEA is a natural steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands, the testicles and the brain. It has a wide array of biological effects in humans, including mood, memory, physical stamina, immune and stress response and as a precursor hormone that gets converted to testosterone and estrogen. The test will require FDA approval in the U.S. before it can be commercially available. Q: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a chronic cough for over a year now. I had a chest X-ray and that was fine. What do you think might be causing my annoying cough? A: Coughing is the second most common reason folks seek medical attention â&#x20AC;&#x201D; second only to pain. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any information about your medical history or if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a smoker, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll list some possible causes. How do we pick your cause out from the lineup of suspects? Smokers (or folks with prolonged exposure to secondhand smoke) often develop a chronic cough due to a low-grade chronic bronchitis. If your cough is worse in the evening, at night or in the early morning, a post-nasal drip may be causing a tickle. Intranasal steroid sprays like Flonase can take down nasal swelling thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contributing to a drip. Atrovent is another type of nasal spray that works great to dry up a drip. If an allergy is causing it, an antihistamine will help. Asthma is another tricky one because it sometimes causes a cough without any wheeze. Chronic sinus infection can cause a persistent cough, and sinus films may help to identify this as the cause. Some folks have a nervous coughing habit, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a diagnosis of exclusion. ACE inhibitor blood pressure medications (e.g. Quinapril, Lisinopril) are well-known potential causes of cough. Look for mold or excessive dust in the home or workplace as potential causes. A new pet is also a consideration. Chest X-rays, barium swallows and CT scans of the chest are helpful when fever, weight loss or bloody sputum are present.

Turchin said, Misericordia already had two of these areas of study, so discussions between hospital and Misericordia administrators began a few years ago.

If a technologist is multifunctional, if there are not a lot of MRIs that day, they could be used to perform ultrasounds.” Nuclear medicine has been used in Wilkes-Barre General Hospital since the 1960s, said Turchin.

If it smells funny or looks cloudy or discolored, don’t take it. • Drugs (solid): While patients should follow expiration dates on prescription drugs, taking expired over-the-counter drugs could just mean they won’t be as potent, said Robert Weber, senior director of pharmaceutical services at the Ohio State University Medical Center. The military, upon testing the stability of 122 types of expired drugs, found that many retained 90 percent of their potency five years after their expiration date. But those were un-

Anti-tartar and whitening agents also can degrade, making the product less effective. Toothpastes with chemicals such as triclosan, which fights gingivitis, have an even shorter shelf life because that chemical can leach into the packaging material over time, cutting effectiveness. • Beauty products: For cosmetics with active ingredients, such as acnefighting or anti-aging products, abide by the expiration date because the low concentrations of active ingredients can degrade quickly, said San Francisco dermatologist Richard Glogau. The biggest risk is microbial growth. If it doesn’t look or smell right, it’s time to dump, said Bailey.

ship, her father, John, and her brother, Sean, 14. Like many teens, Amanda is quite proficient at texting, sending anywhere from 4,500 to 5,000 text messages a month. But, because her father already has set down some rules, none of that texting is done when she’s behind the wheel, shesays.“Ihavemyphonesetonsilent in my purse on the back seat of the car.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 5,500 Americans died in car accidents each year caused by distracted driving in 2009. Cellphone use was, by far, the greatest distraction, says Barraco. If you are talking on a cellphone while driving, you are four times more likely to get into accidents that cause injuries, according to studies by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. That’s the same risk level as driving drunk. Texting while driving puts you at an even greater risk. You are eight times more likely to crash, Barraco says. “A single text message takes the driver’s attention away for about 26 seconds. That’s a lot of time when every single second counts.” While the LVHN program targets all problems that distract drivers of all ages, the trauma doctors are particularly concerned about teens, whose accident numbers are the highest of all age groups and who are most likely to be texting behind the wheel. Motor vehicle collisions are the number one cause of death for teens, killing one in 80 teens. Not all teens are like Amanda. A

carry expiration dates. • Condoms: Because the latex in condoms degrades over time, becoming brittle and more prone to breakage, the FDA requires they carry an expiration date, up to five years from the date of packaging. Storing condoms for prolonged periods in a hot environment, such as a glove compartment (a wallet is usually OK), can speed up deterioration, while storing in a cool, dry place could make them usable past the expiration date, said Dr. John Santelli, professor of clinical population and public health at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. • Saline solutions, eyedrops: Sterility is the greatest concern. The preservatives used to prevent microbial overgrowth become less effective over time,

was revealed that there were foxtails in the back yard, and we became strongly suspicious that she inhaled a foxtail into her lungs. Bailey did improve clinically with antibiotic therapy, but her symptoms returned when therapy was stopped. Rather than go onto long-term antibiotic therapy, we elected to go into Bailey’s chest surgically and remove the portion of the lung that was consolidated. It indeed contained a single foxtail. I am happy to say that Bailey has recovered. This case serves to illustrate one of the potential problems associated with foxtails. Be aware as you take your pets out for walks or travels that these vicious grasses might be lurking. And, by all means, make sure you eliminate them from your yards. This is not as simple as mowing them down. You must pick them up and dispose of them, otherwise your dog could go along the freshly mowed foxtails and suck one up his nose or ... into his lungs.

LVHN study off high school students revealed that more than onethird of teenagers drive while distracted with cellphone use, again, being among the top distractions. “Part of our problem is our needto-know mentality. We have to see that text, hear that caller immediately. We can’t put it off until we aren’t behind the wheel,” says Barraco. And teens, who by nature are bigger risk-takers than more-experienced adults, have the attitude that “it’s not going to happen to me.” Since October, Barraco and colleagues, Dr. Bryan Kane, Dr. Gavin Barr and Dr. Shawna Murphy, have been taking their program on the road to 10th through 12th graders at local high schools with hopes of curbing the use of cellphones. Theprogramincludesacompelling film featuring teens who have been involved in fatalities and serious injuries caused by texting while driving. A text message need not be lengthy to kill.

The trauma doctors surveyed high school students before and after they presented their program and found that as long as four months afterward, the students’ use of cellphones while driving dropped by 74 percent. The doctors hope these teens will pass the message on to others, including their parents. “We’re hoping adults, like teens, will think twice about using a cellphone while driving,” says Kane. “Driving is not the time you try to get something else done.”

For over 6 years I suffered with tingling, numb feet to the point that I had no feeling in them and it hurt to even walk. My daily life was affected. I couldn’t work, drive or keep up on my day-to-day activities.The pain impacted quality time with my family and granddaughter. Then I found out about the Neuropathy Center. After just the second treatment I started getting feeling back in my feet which continued with every visit! Since I have had the treatments I am back to work, taking less pain medications and am able to live a more pain free life. I deﬁnitely recommend the Neuropathy Center and already have! The caring staff treat you like family and they have got me back to the life I was missing! Thank you Neuropathy Center!

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. Give us a chance, at least 3 months, and then you can be as skeptical as you want if you don’t notice any results.

For over 6 years I suffered with painful, numb feet...then I found the Neuropathy Center!

Wife should have some say in who sleeps with whom during visit Dear Abby: I couldn’t believe your response to “Stumped and Trumped in Ohio” (May 12). You made a point of saying to the father that his daughter and her boyfriend are in HIS house and they should abide by HIS rules and sleep in separate bedrooms. It’s his wife’s house, too, and she thought it was fine for them to share a room. Since when should the man’s opinion trump the woman’s? Furthermore, what about hypocrisy? He admitted that he and his wife were indulging in “premarital mambo,” as he so quaintly puts it. In this day and age, you can assume his daughter and the boyfriend are as

DEAR ABBY ADVICE well, especially since they wanted to stay in the same room. So it was OK for him, but it’s offensive when they do it? Nonetheless, it is the parents’ house. If they had mutually agreed that the youngsters should sleep in separate rooms, so be it. This is something the husband and wife should have worked out together before “Julie” brought her boyfriend home for a visit. But in saying it’s the man’s house and everyone should abide by the man’s rules, you insulted women everywhere. — Burned Up in Springfield, N.J.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Burned Up: You’re right. I was clumsy. While I agree with you that the writer and his wife should have reached a mutual agreement before the daughter and her boyfriend arrived, they didn’t. Call me a stick-in-the-mud, but I don’t think an unmarried houseguest has a “right” to share a bedroom if EITHER parent is uncomfortable with it. And while the father may know his daughter is having sex, theoretically, I’m sure he isn’t the only parent who would prefer it was “out of sight, out of mind.” Readers were divided about this:

parents’ home, I always slept in the guest room. Why? Out of respect for his parents’ wishes. It was never something that was asked of me. I did it out of respect for someone else’s home. This man’s wife caved under false pressure. The daughter will visit just as often. Sleeping arrangements rarely stop someone from visiting. If the new boyfriend stops accompanying her, then everyone should realize he’s not worth his salt. Respectful adults don’t just “happen”; they are raised that way. — Rebecca in St. Paul

Dear Abby: When my husband and I were dating, and even after he moved in with me before we married, whenever we visited his

allowed to share a room. Times have changed. Prudishness is out of date. — Realistic Contemporary Grandma Dear Abby: Before my husband and I married, we visited my straitlaced aunt. Neither of us expected to sleep together there. If you don’t want someone’s morals imposed on you, what gives you the right to impose your looser morals on them? — Diane in South Carolina 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). Getting the most of today’s opportunities requires some prep time. Check your notes. Reload your memory before you meet with tough clients, bosses or the most critical members of your family. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You walk the line between appropriate and inappropriate. You gravitate toward the outsiders. You dare to be more edgy, real and exciting than anything else going on around you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Intellect and intelligence are not the same things. You will experience an illustration of this today. Someone who is highly educated displays a lack of common sense. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Make your move. It shows you’re not afraid. If you wait around, the other person involved will think you’re not that interested, and the excitement of the whole deal diminishes. So be a bit impulsive. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be informally appointed to a position because of your outgoing personality. You’ll show that you’re the kind of person who can make connections happen without something awkward taking place. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be around a person who can help you attain one of your goals. You may not consciously intend to tell this person what you want, but you telegraph your needs anyway. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just because you are positive and upbeat doesn’t mean you aren’t also mischievous and playful. You gently tease your loved

ones, and they crave the specific kind of attention that comes from only you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Distractions, be gone! Otherwise, a key piece of information could elude you. You have to watch and listen from beginning to end to get the full story. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). All it takes is one suggestion that makes perfect sense, and you turn it into a project. You do a beautiful job of escalating the action and achieving progress by the end of the day. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just as you can ruin a car’s transmission by staying in the same gear for too long, you can wear a relationship in the wrong way by staying in the same mode for too long. Mix it up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may not mean to do this consciously, but you set someone up to contribute to your cause. You make it known that you’re going to make your move later, and when you do, the other person is ready. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Better to be exciting, direct and a bit overbearing than to be boring. So stop worrying that you might offend someone, and say what’s on your mind. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 21). There’s a lovely simplicity to the way you tackle goals this year. You always do your best. When you are happy with the results, you will celebrate briefly and move on to the next challenge. Capricorn and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 43, 9, 26, 31 and 2.
