HARRISBURG A judge
will soon decide the most
significant pretrial issue in
former Penn State assistant
football coach Jerry Sandus-
kys child sexual abuse case:
whether to dismiss charges.
Its a
question
that once
again
brings to
the fore-
front Vic-
tim 2, a
still-uni-
dentified boy whom a wit-
ness has said he saw being
molested by Sandusky in the
football team showers a dec-
ade ago, drawing a response
from then-head football
coach Joe Paterno that ulti-
mately cost him his job.
For five months, Judge
John Cleland has issued a
steady streamof pre-trial rul-
ings. He decided that local
jurors will determine Sand-
uskys fate, he has refereed
numerous disputes among
lawyers about what docu-
ments the defense will get
aheadof trial andhe has kept
thecaseontracktoget under
way next week.
Sanduskys lawyer wants
Cleland to throw out all 52
counts against him, arguing
that some are too vague to
defend, and the charges in-
volving Victim 2 and Victim
8 an identified boy who
prosecutors say was molest-
ed by Sandusky in a universi-
ty shower cant be proved.
TheAttorneyGenerals Of-
fice argued Friday that the
charges should not be
thrown out because any ar-
Victim 2 decision faces Sandusky judge
Pretrail motion in child
sexual abuse case calls
for charges to be tossed.

Agrassroots effort to improve public transpor-
tation in Luzerne County has been yielding
some impressive results.
About three months ago, the Luzerne County
Transportation Authority formed a Ridership
Committee to consider the ideas, suggestions
and complaints of the people the authority
serves.
The committee was organized in large part be-
cause members of the grass-
roots Public Transportation
Advisory Council a group
of regular bus riders who
first got together about a
year ago to discuss issues
with riding LCTA buses.
Bus drivers regularly chat
with and get to know their
riders, saidValerieKepner, a
member of the advisory
council and regular bus rid-
er who lives in Nanticoke.
And it was thanks to their
suggestion that the council
was formed.
There were a couple,
three bus drivers at a union
meeting who said there
were changes coming down
the pike in terms of public transportation, and
our riders dont know this and theyre not orga-
nized. How would you successfully get a voice
together? Kepner said.
She said some drivers she knew talked with
her about it and that led to a group of bus riders
meeting regularly to talk about public transpor-
tation issues. The bus drivers didnt want to run
the group, they just wanted to help organize it,
Kepner said.

lege, said that after some discussions, advisory

BEIRUTAweekendmassacreof morethan
100 people emerged as a potential turning point
in the Syrian crisis Monday, galvanizing even
staunch ally Russia to take an unusually hard
line against President Bashar Assads govern-
ment.
Analysts said Russia may be warning Assad
that he needs tochange course or lose Moscows
support.
Russia has been a key layer of protection for
the Syrian government during the uprising that
began in March 2011.
Russia has grown increasingly critical of Da-
mascus in recent months, but Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrovs latest comments were unusual-
ly strong.
Although he said opposition forces have ter-
rorists among them, he put the blame for 15
months of carnage primarily on Assads govern-

MOOSIC -- The Dave Mat-
thews Band threw a Memorial
Day bash on Monday evening at
the Toyota Pavilion at Montage
Mountain, and thousands of its
closest friends showed up to
party.
The official attendance was
not available at press time, but
it had to be another near sell-
out for the DMB the only band
that has drawn crowds any-
where near selling out the mas-
sive amphitheatre.
After taking most of its 20th
anniversary year off last year,
the popular jam band from
Charlottesville, Va., is back on
the road and working on its first
album (reportedly with Steve
Lillywhite, who helmed the
bands most successful records)
since 2009s Big Whiskey &
The GrooGrux King.
This years show was just like
countless others in the past.
The band strolled out on stage
at about 8:30 and its leader,
singer and guitarist Dave Mat-
thews strapped on an acoustic
guitar while the other members
fiddled with their instruments
and figured out what song to
play.
After about five minutes of
noodling and tuning, the band
started into its first tune.
Its very nice to be here
again, Matthews told the crowd
after the bands first song. Its
always a good place.
The core foursome of Mat-
thews on acoustic guitar and
vocals, Carter Beauford on
drums and vocals, Stefan Les-
sard on bass and Boyd Tinsley
on violin is once again fleshed
out by electric guitarist Tim
Reynolds, trumpeter Rashawn
Ross and saxophonist Jeff Coffin
for its 2012 dates.
Early highlights of the DMBs
set on Monday included Dont
Drink The Water from1998s
Before These Crowded Streets
and Big Eyed Fish from 2002s
Busted Stuff.
Another standout in the early
evening was When The World
Ends from 2001s Everyday.
Nearly an hour and a half into
its set on Monday, the Dave
Matthews Band was only on its
ninth number, as most tunes
stretched into long jams with
each member shining brightly
on multiple solos.
The Carolina Chocolate
Drops, an old-time string band
from Durham, N.C., opened the
show Monday with an impres-
sive collection of traditional
numbers on banjo, fiddle, acous-
tic guitar, cello and various
other instruments.
The band consisting of Dom
Flemons, Rhiannon Giddens,
Adam Matta and Hubby Jenkins
has been on quite the roll since
breaking big with its fourth
album, Genuine Negro Jig,
which won the 2010 Grammy
for Best Traditional Folk Album.
Its latest album, Leaving
Eden, topped the Billboard
Bluegrass charts upon its re-
lease in February.
Dave Matthews Band has two
upcoming shows in Camden,
N.J., on June 26 and 27, and will
also be in Hershey on June 29
and in Bethel, N.Y., on June 30.
The next show scheduled for
the Toyota Pavilion, the Gang
of Outlaws tour with ZZ Top
and 3 Doors Down, which was
to have taken place on Wednes-
day, has been canceled.

Casey wants aid for vets
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey recently an-
nounced new legislation to help
veterans returning from war to get
back into the workplace, citing a 7.3
percent veteran unemployment rate
in Pennsylvania.
According to 2010 U.S. Census
information com-
piled by Caseys
office, Luzerne
County has 7.8
percent veteran
unemployment,
with a veteran pop-
ulation of 28,083.
Lackawanna Coun-
tys rate is even
higher at 8.1 of its 19,068 veterans
unemployed.
The Servicemembers Access to
Justice Act, in part, would prohibit
employers from forcing a service
member to leave his job upon de-
ployment and enhance laws that
prohibit job discrimination against
service members.
HARRISBURG
Plates honor, aid vets
Pennsylvanians who want to honor
veterans may soon have several new
ways to show their support and help
military families, thanks to a bill
introduced by state Sen. Lisa Baker,
R-Lehman Township.
Bakers bill allows veterans and
military supporters to purchase a
special license plate, with proceeds
from the plate sales dedicated to a
newly created charity for needy
veterans and their families.
In addition to
license fees, the
charity would be
able to receive
contributions from
the state and feder-
al government,
corporations, indi-
viduals, and other
trusts and founda-
tions.
The legislation allows Pennsylva-
nians to donate $2 to the new Veter-
ans Trust Fund when they renew
their drivers license or motor vehi-
cle registration.
Honorably discharged veterans
will be able to have a V affixed to
their drivers license to indicate their
veteran status. Proof of service is
often required at stores and orga-
nizations that offer discounts to
veterans.
Baker, who chairs the Senate Vet-
erans Affairs and Emergency Prepa-
redness Committee, said she plans to
consider the bill in committee in the
near future.
Under Bakers bill, the Pennsylva-
nia Veterans Foundation, a newly
chartered statewide charitable foun-
dation, could be utilized to make
grants to veterans service orga-
nizations, to support new or expand-
ed programs operated by the county
Directors of Veterans Affairs, and to
maintain and repair monuments
honoring veterans.
Pennsylvanians can contribute to
the Pennsylvania Veterans Founda-
tion by visiting www.paveterans-
foundation.org., or by sending dona-
tions to P.O. Box 98, Annville, PA
17003.

PLAINS TWP. When Crest-
wood School Board representa-
tive Gene Mancini suggested
the superintendents of five
member school districts take
turns serving as superintend-
ent of record at Wilkes-Barre
Area Career and Technology
Center, other members of the
Joint Operating Committee
that runs the center balked.
Tempers flared, particularly
among representatives from
Wilkes-Barre Area School
Board. The JOCis composed of
members of each of the five par-
ticipating school boards, and
Wilkes-Barre Area has the most
representatives because it
sends the most students to the
center. Wilkes-Barre Area Su-
perintendent Jeff Namey is and
has long been the superintend-
ent of record at the career cen-
ter.
Wilkes-Barre Area represen-
tative John Quinn called Manci-
nis idea a major seismic
move.
Well, maybe not so major.

nology Center, whichis alsorun

tatives from five member dis-
tricts, switched to a rotating su-

Having never met in person, publish-
ed author AndrewE. Stoner and blogger
Peter A. Conway managed to chronicle
the horrific murder of a Dallas Township
adult movie producer and the investiga-
tion that followed in a 324-page book.
Cobra Killer, published by Magnus
Books of New York
City, is scheduled to be
in bookstores within
the next week.
The book details
events and the conspir-
acy that led to the kill-
ing of Bryan Kocis in-
side his Dallas Town-
ship residence on Jan.
24, 2007, and the ar-
rests of two male es-
corts and gay pornog-
raphy actors in Virgin-
ia.
Stoner, a journalism
doctorate student at
Colorado State Univer-
sity, said he immedi-
ately became interest-
ed in the Kocis case af-
ter reading Conways
blog about the homi-
cide and investigation.
Conway, of Virginia,
said he blogged about
the case because he
once lived in the same apartment build-
ing as the two suspects, Harlow Cuadra
and Joseph Kerekes, in Norfolk.
I started reading his blog at the same
time I was looking around for a new
book idea, Stoner said, adding he has
written true-crime books and an auto-
biography of a former Indiana governor.
Conway, who owns his own hotel mar-
keting business, said he collaborated
with Stoner to co-author Cobra Killer.
It wasnt difficult to work together
despite having never met Andrew, Con-
way said. There was a lot of sharing
back andforth. Andrewhada keensense
which direction to go with the book at
the same time I had gathered all the in-
formation about the two suspects and
the investigation.
Kocis, 44, owned and operated Cobra
Video, a production company of porno-
graphic films that featured young men.
Kocis company was involved in a legal
dispute with Cobra Video contract mod-
el Sean Lockhart of San Diego.
Under the terms of a settlement reac-
hed in mid-January 2007, Lockhart was
compelled to pay Cobra Video a percent-
age of any earnings from other gay mo-
vies he starred in.
Cobra Killer follows the conspiracy
by Cuadra andKerekes whoplannedand
followed through with killing Kocis,
whom they considered their main rival
in the business, and then going on the
run, hiding out in Florida and visiting
Lockhart and his partner, Grant Roy, at a
nude beach in San Diego.
Kerekes pleaded guilty to second-de-
gree murder, and a Luzerne County jury
convicted Cuadra of first-degree homi-
cide. They were both sentenced to life in
prison.

BLOOMSBURG -- Last year was
supposed to have been the 157th an-
nual Bloomsburg Fair but floodwa-
ters from nearby Fishing Creek
caused nearly $1 million in damage
and prompted fair officials to cancel
the annual rite of fall for the first time.
The 200-acre fairgrounds will greet
fairgoers this fall with repaired and re-
built infrastructure for a second at-
tempt at the 157th annual fair, but so,
too, will raised ticket prices.
The cost or admittance is going up
60 percent for the eight-day event
that runs Sept. 22-29. Admission will
jump from $5 to $8. A small increase
in vendor fees is also being levied to
help the organization recoup some of
the approximately $2.8 million the
fair lost last year from damage and
lost revenue.
The early September flooding oc-
curred just weeks before the fair was
set to open and caused the fair board
to hold an emergency meeting10 days
before the planned Sept. 24 opening
day. At the meeting the board voted
to cancel the fair.
A lot was taken into account, in-
cluding the loss of approximately
$150,000 in amusement tax revenue
that would have gone to the Town of
Bloomsburg. But the cleanup costs
and time constraints, coupled with
the number of area residents who
themselves were left picking up the
pieces of their lives as homes were
flooded, damaged and in some cases
destroyed, caused the board to make
the tough decision to cancel.
There was no way we could have
had a fair, said Paul Reichart, secre-
tary of the Bloomsburg Fair Board.
There was no place people could
park.
Reichart, of Orangeville, said the
increase in ticket and vendor prices
are large percentage wise but still not
too expensive in the grand scheme of
things. He said there were few other

WILKES-BARRE The
end is in sight for Wilkes-
Barres Coal Street renewal
project, and for some busi-
ness owners on the street, it
cant come soon enough.
The $12 million project to
widen the road from two
lanes to five, begun in 2010,
is about 65 percent com-
plete and on track to wrap
up a bit earlier than its tar-
get completiondate of Octo-
ber, city Operations Direc-
tor Butch Frati said.
Crews are now working
ona wall onthe northside of
the street, and will be doing
so for about another month,
Frati said. Once that is com-
plete, traffic patterns will re-
vert to the south side of the
street while newcurbs, side-
walks, ramps, traffic signals
and 97 new street lights
matching those in the citys
downtown are installed, a
process expected to last
about six weeks.
The project is alsoonbud-
get, Frati said.
But some Coal Street
business owners said the
construction is cutting into
their bottom line.
When asked how the con-
struction has impacted his
business at Coal and North
Welles Street, Walters
Hardware owner Walter Le-
tanski gives a thumbs down.
Sales have declined as po-
tential customers avoid the
area due to traffic jams
through the construction
zone or the perception that
traffic may be there, he said.
There were problems,
he said. But another part of
it has beenpeoples desire to
avoid problems even when
they arent there.
Letanski said he under-
stands the widening project
plan predates the current
administration and said the
city has been accommodat-
ing in meeting with himand
inputtingupsigns last week
marking the entrance to his
business, but the loss of
business still stings.
I understand with any
improvement theres a mat-
ter of disruption, Walter
said. Its like youwant tore-
model your house; youre
going to be eating on paper
plates for a while. Its part of
the process; I just want it to
be done.
Up the street at 245 Coal
St., Alans Grocery and Deli
owner Lino Cardoso said he
was somewhat upset be-
cause the city didnt inform
himof the construction dur-
ing the permitting process
to start his business, which
opened a fewmonths before
the street was ripped up.
Cardoso explained that he
didnt know of the plan be-
cause he moved here from

13 children die in mall fire
Q
atars Interior Ministry said 13
children were among 19 people
killed in a fire that broke out in one of
the countrys fanciest shopping malls
late Monday morning, raising ques-
tions about building safety in the
booming Gulf state.
At least some of the victims died as
rescuers struggled to reach a child care
center at the Villaggio mall in the cap-
ital Doha, according to Qatars Minis-
ter of State for Interior Affairs, Sheik
Abdullah bin Nasser Al Thani.
Four of the children killed were
Spanish citizens living in the small
Arab emirate, the Spanish Foreign
Ministry said. It did not identify the
children, citing Spanish privacy regu-
lations.
Four teachers and two civil defense
officials were among the dead, the
Qatari ministry said on its official Twit-
ter page.
Another 17 people were injured,
including four children, according to
authorities. Most of those hurt were
rescuers responding to the blaze.
BOISE, IDAHO
3 rescued from crash site
Hours after their plane crashed on a
steep and snowy mountainside in Ida-
ho, a California fireman, his wife and
their daughter were airlifted to safety
by National Guard rescuers.
The family was en route from Cali-
fornia to Mountain Home, Idaho, when
their Cessna 172 went down Saturday
night, leaving them with head and back
injuries, officials said.
One of them used a cellphone just
after midnight to report that they had
survived the crash.
A medical helicopter located the
wreckage Sunday morning, but white-
out conditions prevented the aircraft
crew from carrying out an immediate
rescue, said Col. Tim Marsano of the
Idaho National Guard.

soaked beach vacations and some Me-

tens of thousands, though emergency
officials said it hasnt brought any ma-
jor damage.
The storm made landfall just after
midnight Monday near Jacksonville
Beach in Florida with near-hurricane-
strength winds of 70 mph, according to
the National Hurricane Center. Sus-
tained winds had died down to about
35 mph, leading forecasters to down-
grade the storm to a tropical depres-
sion and cancel all warnings and watch-
es less than 11 hours after it made land.

afternoon off the MacArthur Causeway
into downtown Miami when he saw
the savage attack on the bridges off-

VATICAN CITY The biggest scan-

edMondaywiththepopes butler, arrest-
ed for allegedly having confidential doc-
uments in his home, agreeing to cooper-
ate with investigators raising the
specter that higher-ranking ecclesial
heads may soon roll.
Few believe butler Paolo Gabriele
worked alone to leak dozens of docu-
ments shedding light on power strug-
gles, corruption and intrigue inside the
highest levels of the Catholic Church.
The leaks have tormented the Vatican
for months and painted a picture of a
church hierarchy in ut-
ter disarray.
Gabriele, the popes
personal butler since
2006, was arrested
Wednesdayeveningaf-
ter Holy See docu-
ments were found in-
side his Vatican City
apartment, adding an unfathomable
Hollywood twist to the already sordid
Vatileaks scandal. Heremains incustody
ina Vaticandetentionfacility, accusedof
theft, and has met with his wife and law-
yers.
Gabrieles lawyer, Carlo Fusco, said
Monday his client was very serene and
calm, despite the whirlwind of specula-
tion surrounding his arrest. He said Ga-
briele himself had told the Vatican judge
investigating the case that he would re-
spondtoall thequestionsandwill collab-
orate with investigators to ascertain the
truth.
Italian media reported Monday that a
cardinal is suspected of playing a major
role inthe scandal. However, the Vatican
spokesman, theRev. FedericoLombardi,
denied the reports categorically. He said
many Vatican officials were being ques-
tioned but insisted there is no cardinal
under suspicion.
But Lombardi acknowledged that the
investigation continues.
He also dismissed as pure fantasy a
rash of other unsourced reports about
the investigation in the Italian media,
which have been on a frenzy ever since
reports of Gabrieles detention emerged
Friday.
Gabriele, a 46-year-old father of three,
was always considered extremely loyal
to Benedict and his predecessor, John
Paul II, for whom he briefly served. Vat-
ican insiders have said they were baffled
byhis allegedinvolvement, andLombar-
di said Monday that the entire scandal
has caused pain throughout the Vatican.
Pope Benedict XVI, who in March ap-
pointed a commission of cardinals to in-
vestigate the leaks, was being kept in-
formedof developments andis aware of
the delicate situationthat the Romancu-
ria is going through, Lombardi said.

were the top
two finishers in
the first round

He said Mor-
si won 5.76 mil-
lion votes, while Shafiq garnered
5.5 million. Finishing a close
third was leftist candidate Ham-
deen Sabahi with 4.82 million
votes.
Sultan said his commission re-
ceived a total of seven appeals,
and rejected all of them. Four of
the appeals were dismissed be-
cause they had no legal basis,
while the other three were not
accepted because they were sub-
mitted after the deadline, he
said.

NAMPHO, North Korea North Ko-
rea is reporting a serious drought that
could worsen already critical food short-
ages, but help is unlikely to come from
the United States and South Korea fol-
lowing Pyongyangs widely criticized
rocket launch.
North Korea has had little rain since
April 27, with the countrys western
coastal areas particularly hard hit, ac-
cording to a government weather agency
in Pyongyang. The dry spell threatened
to damage crops, officials said, as the
country enters a critical planting season
and as food supplies fromthe last harvest
dwindle.
In at least one area of South Phyongan
Province where journalists from The As-
sociated Press were allowed to visit, the
sun-baked fields appeared parched and
cracked, and farmers complained of ex-
treme drought conditions. Deeply
tanned men, and women in sun bonnets,
worked over cabbages and corn seed-
lings. Farmers cupped individual seed-
lings as they poured water from blue
buckets onto the parched red soil.
Ive beenworkingat the farmfor more
than 30 years, but I have never experi-
enced this kind of severe drought, An
Song Min, a farmer at the Tokhae Coop-
erative Farm in the Nampho area, told
the AP.
It was not clear whether the conditions
around Nampho were representative of a
wider region. The U.N. FoodandAgricul-
ture Organization said it had not yet vis-
ited the affected regions to confirm the
extent and severity of the reported
drought.
North Korea has suffered chronic food
shortages for the past two decades be-
cause of economic and agricultural mis-
management as well as natural disasters.

SAN DIEGO Republican
presidential candidate Mitt
Romney promised Monday to
maintain an American mili-
tary with no comparable
power anywhere in the
world.
The likely Republican presi-
dential nominee faced a San
Diego crowd estimated at
5,000 in what was billed as a
Memorial Day service paying
tribute to the nations war
dead, not a campaign rally.
But without naming his gener-
al election rival, Romney drew
clear contrasts with President
Barack Obama on the issue of
defense.
The Democratic president
has proposed reducing the
size of the military after the
end of the U.S. combat role in
Iraq and plans to removes
troops from Afghanistan at
the end of 2014.
We have two courses we
can follow: One is to follow in
the pathway of Europe, to
shrink our military smaller
and smaller to pay for our so-
cial needs, Romney said out-
side the citys Veterans Memo-
rial Center and Museum.
The other is to commit to
preserve America as the stron-
gest military in the world, sec-
ond to none, with no compara-
ble power anywhere in the
world.
Across the country in Wash-
ington, Obama marked the so-
lemn holiday with remem-
brances at Arlington National
Cemetery, and later at the
Vietnam War Memorial mark-
ing the 50th anniversary of
U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
He noted that for the first
time in nine years Americans
are not fighting and dying in
Iraq. After a decade under the
dark cloud of war, we can see
the light of the newday on the
horizon.
The candidates comments
underscored the political and
practical effects the presiden-
tial contest could have on
Americas role in the world.
A new Gallup survey found
that veterans prefer Romney
over Obama by a double-digit
margin, 58 percent to 34 per-
cent.
That voting bloc, consisting
mostly of older men, makes
up13 percent of the adult pop-
ulation.
Obama won the presidency
handily four years ago while
losing veterans by 10 points to
Sen. John McCain, a former
Navy pilot.
Neither Obama nor Rom-
ney served in the military.
Romney, 65, did not serve in
Vietnam. His campaign says
he received deferments for his
Mormon mission to France
and academic studies.
He later entered the draft,
but his number was not called,
a spokesman said. Obama, 50,
was a child during Vietnam.
In San Diego, Romney was
joined by McCain, a Vietnam
veteran who spent more than
five years as a prisoner of war.
McCain said that Romney I
believe, is fully qualified to be
commander in chief.
GOP candidate vows to
maintain worlds strongest
military if elected.

center, in contrast to daily duties
as a superintendent of a school
district.
But Coslett said the West Side
JOC felt that things werent get-
ting signed in a timely fashion,
and switched to a rotating sys-
tem. The superintendents of five
member districts take turns serv-
ing one-year terms as West Side
superintendent of records.
Neither Coslett nor current
West Side Superintendent of Re-
cord Ray Bernardi the superin-
tendent at Wyoming Area School
District could remember exact-
ly when the switch was made to a
rotating system. Coslett said he
believes it was during Kevin
OConnors tenure as LIU execu-
tive director. OConnor left that
post in May 2000.
While the state requires a su-
perintendent of record, details of
filling the post are spelled out in
the articles of agreement, the
document all five districts sign to
earn seats on the JOC. Coslett
saidWest Side amendedthose ar-
ticles to require rotation, and to
require the superintendent of re-
cord to attend JOC meetings.
I amat everyworksessionand
board meeting, Bernardi said.
Andwhile he has novote, he does
offer input. I amanactive partic-
ipant in the decision-making
process.
The JOC can also decide to
give the superintendent of record
a stipend for filling the post.
Namey said he has never re-
ceived any money from Wilkes-
Barre Area Career Center for be-
ing superintendent of record, but
Bernardi and Coslett said there
was a period when the West Side
paid $2,000 a year. That practice
was dropped in 2003.
Mancini decided to propose a
rotating superintendent of re-
cord because Namey has an-
nounced he will retire from
Wilkes-Barre Area School Dis-
trict on Aug. 31. Mancini said he
felt that retirement provides a
good opportunity to make the
switch.
This is not a shot at Dr.
Namey or anyone else, Mancini
said. This is just a chance to
make the change going forward.
The motion generated angry de-
bate and various attempts to ta-
ble or postpone. Mancini ulti-
matelywithdrewthemotion, say-
ing he may reintroduce it at a fu-
ture meeting.

chart said $100,000 was spent
on replacement fencing,
$50,000 on replacing damaged
equipment and a couple thou-
sand dollars on drainage work
and remodeling three build-
ings on the fairgrounds.
But the efforts were made
through contracted work and
volunteers to get the grounds
ready for this year and the fu-
ture.
Reichart said that of the 900
vendors who were set to be at
the 2011 fair, only one has in-
dicated it wont be back this
year.
While the Bloomsburg Fair
typically draws from a 75-mile
radius, Reichart said the fair is
going to reach out a little far-
ther this year with billboards
planned for Allentown and
Harrisburg and advertise-
ments running in the Greater
Philadelphia area, too.
In addition to trying to at-
tract newfairgoers by casting a
wider net, Reichart said sched-
uling a strong concert lineup
this year was also made a pri-
ority. And he thinks the fair has
succeeded.
In addition to appearances
by gospel singing group Gaith-
er Vocal Band, country music
singer Rodney Atkins, comedi-
enne/ventriloquist Jeff Dun-
ham and legendary crooner
Kenny Rogers, the headlining
act will be country music su-
perstar Alan Jackson.

Appleby Sr.
Passed Away 1 yr. ago today, May 29, 2011
In Memory of
Forever in our hearts,
Deeply loved and sadly missed by
Wife, daughter & son-in-law,
son & daughter - in-law & family
God saw you were getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
and whispered Come With Me.
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away,
although we loved you dearly
we could not make you stay.
Dont grieve for me, for now Im free.
I took Gods hand when I heard Him call.
I could not stay another day
to laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
then ll it with remembered joy,
a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Oh yes, these things, I too will miss

ment.
The government bears the
main responsibility for what is
going on, Lavrov said in Mos-
cow after a meeting with British
Foreign Secretary William
Hague.
Any government in any coun-
try bears responsibility for the
security of its citizens, he said.
Alexei Malashenko, a Middle
East expert with the Carnegie
Moscow Center, said Lavrovs
comments suggest Russia may
be backing away from its long-
standing support for Damascus.
Bashar Assad is driving him-
self and Russia into a corner,
Malashenko said.
Bashar has definitely gotten
the sense that he may lose Rus-
sias sympathy, and he may step
back a bit.
It is not clear whether Assads
forces were exclusively to blame
for the slaughter of 108 people
Friday in Houla, a collection of
poor farming villages in Homs
province.
The United Nations said 49
children and 34 women were
among the dead; some hadbullet
holes through their heads.
The U.N. Security Council
blamed Syrian forces for artillery
and tank shelling of residential
areas, but it did not clearly state
who was responsible for the
close-range shooting deaths and
severe physical abuse of civil-
ians.
Activists fromthe area saidthe
army pounded the villages with
artillery and clashed with local
rebels.
They said pro-government
gunmen later stormed the area,
doing the bulk of the killing by
gunning down men in the streets
and stabbing women and chil-
dren in their homes.
The Syrian government reject-
ed that account entirely, saying
soldiers were attacked in their
bases and fought back in self-de-
fense without leaving their
bases.
Russia blamed both the gov-
ernment and the rebels for the
Houla massacre.
Both sides have obviously
had a hand in the deaths of inno-
cent people, including several
dozen women and children,
Lavrov said. This area is con-
trolled by the rebels, but it is also
surrounded by the government
troops.
He said Russia has no interest
in propping up Assad but wants
Syria to guide its own transition
under a plan brokered by special
envoy Kofi Annan.
We dont support the Syrian
government; we support Kofi
Annans plan, Lavrov said.
Moscows pro-Syria stance has
been motivated in part by its
strategic and defense ties to Da-
mascus, including weapons
sales. Russia also rejects what it
sees as a world order dominated
by the United States.
Losing Russian support could
be disastrous for Assad because
his crackdown has left him al-
most completely isolated inter-
nationally. Russia and China
have stood by him so far, using
their veto power to block U.N.
resolutions against him.
Hilal Khashan, a political sci-
ence professor at the American
University of Beirut, said the
Houla massacre appears to be
ushering in a change in Russias
position.
There is a shift and the mo-
mentum against the regime is
gathering, Khashan said. The
momentum is building and the
Russians are not blocking the ris-
ing momentum.
The Syrian conflict is among
the most explosive of the Arab
Spring, in part because of Syrias
allegiances to powerful forces,
including Lebanons Hezbollah
and Shiite powerhouse Iran.
Activists say as many as12,000
people have been killed since the
uprising began. The U.N. put the
toll as of March, a year into the
uprising, at 9,000, but many hun-
dreds more have died since.
Annans peace plan, which
calls for a cease-fire and dia-
logue, has been faltering for
weeks.
But Western leaders have
pinned their hopes on his diplo-
matic pressure, since the U.S.
and others are unwilling to get
deeply involved in another Arab
nation in turmoil.
Annan arrived in Damascus on
Monday for talks with Assad and
other officials and called on ev-
ery individual with a gun in Sy-
ria to lay down arms, saying he
was horrified by the Houla mas-
sacre.
Britains Prime Minister David
Cameron and French President
Francois Holland spoke on the
phone andexpressedtheir desire
to work with Russia to resolve
the crisis in Syria.
A British spokeswoman said
CameronandHollande agreedto
act together to bring an end to
the bloody suppression of the
Syrian people.
Activists reported fresh vio-
lence Monday, saying troops
shelled several neighborhoods in
Hama, killing at least 24 people.
RUSSIA
Continued fromPage 1A
READING There are only
24 notes in the bugle call known
as Taps, and theyre instantly
recognizable.
When the call is played at a fu-
neral for veterans and service
members, it provides chills and
draws tears.
But most of the veterans bur-
ied in Berks County recently
didnt have a bugler at their ser-
vices.
Usually a recorded version of
Taps is played, either from a
CD or through an electronic de-
vice resembling a bugle.
To Donald Kline of West
Lawn, thats a real shame.
Kline is a bugler and he be-
lieves every veteran deserves
the personal touch of having a
real musician play his proud
farewell song.
So Kline and several others
from Berks volunteered for Bu-
gles Across America. Its a na-
tional effort to have veterans
families teamed with willing
musicians for a live version of
Taps to be played at every ser-
vice members funeral.
So far, though, there has been
a disconnect.
While Kline and others regu-
larly get out-of-state requests to
play at funerals, they rarely are
called to play closer to home.
Kline believes the problem is
that people simply dont know
Bugles Across America exists or
that there are musicians availa-
ble to play at their loved ones
services.
Were here if you need help,
said Tom Day of Berwyn, Ill.,
who founded Bugles Across
America in 2000.
Day bemoans the use of fake
bugles and lip-synched ver-
sions of Taps, which he said
lessen the dignity of memorial
services.
Bugler Richard Pawling of
Spring Township agrees.
Its sacrilege to pusha button
instead of having a real bugler,
he said.
Dale G. Derr, Berks director
of veterans affairs, said not all
veterans groups have buglers,
though, and the active-duty mil-
itary honor guards that take part
in local services often dont in-
clude a bugler.
The families dont complain
about recorded versions of
Taps, though, said Michael
Kuhn, co-owner of the Christ
Funeral Homes in Berks. The re-
cordings soundfine, hesaid, and
the grieving families are usually
thankful that the song is being
played at all.
Still, Derr believes most vet-
erans and their families would
prefer their final bugle call be
played live.
Andrew Harakel of Heidel-
berg Township would love to be
playing those calls, but he is still
waiting for his first local funeral
request through Bugles Across
America.
The only time hes played the
song for a veterans memorial
service was for his grandfather,
James P. Schultz, andhell never
forget it.
Taps is a very powerful
tune, and you dont know how
powerful until youhear it played
live, he said.
Its a tough song to pull off, es-
pecially in the pressure of a fu-
neral setting, said Dr. Frank
Siekmann of Greenwich Town-
ship.
When youre playing Taps
youre veryexposed: Youre play-
ing in complete silence, and ev-
erybody knows exactly how it
should sound, he said.

Hollywood, Democrats
nothing but hypocrites
T
he Democrats and Hollywood are out
of touch with average Americans.
Recently actor George Clooney held
a dinner party for President Obama, asking
$40,000 a plate and raising $15 million for
his campaign.
In Luzerne County how long would the
line be if people were applying for a job for
which the salary would be $40,000?
Obama has $1 billion in his campaign
re-election fund. One would think they
would have created 380 jobs with the $15
million, instead of contributing to a filthy
rich party.
Talk about a bunch of hypocrites.

Prevailing wage protects
many good-paying jobs
R
ecent anti-prevailing wage articles
paint the picture of a classic business
versus organized labor dispute. Its
not.
Recently, I testified at a House hearing
on behalf of construction contractors who
support prevailing wage law. Thats right,
contractors, employers, job creators who
support the law. And, its not only contrac-
tors who use union labor. Three of the five
of us who testified are owners of non-union
construction companies. We testified that
the rates we pay are in line with the wage
rates prescribed by the prevailing wage
law. Thats why its called prevailing
wage.
So, if the dispute isnt a union versus
non-union fight, whats it really about? Its
a battle between low-wage contractors and
contractors who pay good wages and bene-
fits. The Prevailing Wage Act establishes a
minimum wage for work on publicly fi-
nanced construction projects. Its neces-
sary because those projects are awarded on
a low-bid basis. Without the law, some
contractors attempt to be the lowest bid-
der by paying workers as little as possible.
A study examining the effects of Mis-
souris repeal of prevailing wage found that
out-of-state contractors were awarded
more public jobs after the repeal. Why?
They brought cheap labor with them. The
law levels the playing field so local contrac-
tors who hire local workers arent underbid
by fly-by-nights.
You probably have neighbors or friends
who have careers in plumbing, electrical or
other trades. Protecting good-paying local
contractors from being underbid by cheap
labor importers protects their jobs.

Restore solvency of Pa.
unemployment fund
T
hings are looking up for Pennsylvania.
Our unemployment rate was 7.4 per-
cent in April, down from its peak of 8.7
percent in March 2010.
Despite this progress, the recession left
us with a major challenge: It completely
drained Pennsylvanias Unemployment
Compensation Trust Fund.
The fund could keep up with increased
demand for jobless benefits when the re-
cession began in late 2007, but it was de-
pleted by March 2009. Pennsylvania and
35 other states began borrowing from the
federal government to keep the UC bene-
fits flowing.
Although nearly half the states had high-
er jobless rates during the recession, Penn-
sylvania amassed the third-highest UC
debt. Because our UC benefits are general-
ly greater compared to other states and
also due to the recessions severity and
length, we now owe the federal govern-
ment almost $4 billion.
The loans terms require Pennsylvania
employers to pay the principal, along with
interest payments that can rise as high as
10 percent. Importantly, the more people a
business employs, the more it must pay to
the federal government. This fact dis-
courages businesses from hiring at a time
when Pennsylvanias recovery must keep
its momentum.
While employees arent responsible for
paying the debt, its important to remem-
ber that they pay into the UC Trust Fund
but only when the fund is insolvent. Res-
toring the funds solvency also will lift that
burden.
Gov. Tom Corbett doesnt want this debt
to deter hiring. He has a solution.
First, we address the debt by issuing a
bond at a fixed interest rate. Like refinanc-
ing a mortgage, well get a lower, fixed-
interest rate with a better payment plan.
Then, we modernize UC eligibility re-
quirements, significant portions of which
havent been updated in nearly 40 years
and havent kept pace with the changing
ways people work. Todays requirements
allow claimants to earn the bulk of their
yearly wages during a single quarter. The
updates still use the single quarter, but
would place greater emphasis on earnings
during the rest of the year.
This change would affect only 10 percent
of all claimants. It would not dispropor-
tionally affect people who earn less money
or have seasonal jobs, and it would provide
an employment program to help those
affected return to work.
The governors plan stays out of workers
pockets, responsibly repays our debt,
makes the UC system healthy without
onerously taxing businesses and modern-
izes eligibility requirements making
them fair and reasonable.
We must fix this serious problem to
ensure the UC Trust Funds near- and long-
term viability. If we miss this opportunity,
our recent gains could slip away.

Taxpayers let Congress
get away with shirking
T
he members of the U.S. House of Rep-
resentatives have been working in
Washington on 41 of the first 127 days
of this year. They are planning to be in
session half of the remaining weeks.
How long would you keep your job if you
worked like that?
Even when they show up, they fail to
address the biggest problems facing the
country. It would take a 50 percent tax
increase in order to balance the so-called
budget, yet they are avoiding the problem
while the debt grows by billions per year.
The real problem is you and I let them
get away with it.
They work for us, and we pay them
$174,000 per year to do it. Make a commit-
ment to write or call your representative
once a week and express your views.
See how they respond and let that be
your guide to voting this November.

L
AST YEARS TUSSLE
over increasing the
federal debt limit
showedCongress at its
worst, paralyzed by dueling
ideologies and incapable of
striking a grand bargain. The
eventual compromise by law-
makers and the White House
raised the debt ceiling enough
to last until the end of 2012 or
early 2013, giving voters a
chance to shuffle the deck in
Washington before the next
round of negotiations.
House Speaker John A.
Boehner, R-Ohio, however, has
been calling on Congress to
take up the issue before the
election, saying Congress
shouldnt wait. Hes got apoint,
but the debt ceiling bill is the
wrong place for that debate.
As much as House Republi-
cans complain about Washing-
tons fiscal mess, they havent
tried to translate the most im-
portant (and controversial)
elements of their deficit-cut-
ting plans into legislation even
in their own chamber. Those
include the proposals byHouse
Budget Committee Chairman
Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., to rein in
spending on Medicare and
Medicaidandeliminate at least
some of the exemptions, de-
ductions and credits in the tax
code.
Not that Senate Democrats
or President Obama are likely
to support them. Democrats
have insisted that tax increases
be part of any plan to bring the
debt under control, and Repub-
licans have rejected any major
hike in revenue. But thats a
fight worth having. Substan-
tive, thorny issues such as en-
titlements and taxes lie at the
heart of the long-term debt
problem, and lawmakers abso-
lutely should be debating them
even if its just to score politi-
cal points and hope voters will
respond in November.
The impasse that would en-
sue over a debt ceiling debate
would only remind financial
markets of the last years brink-
manship, when Congress in-
ability to reach a meaningful
compromise persuaded one
rating agency to downgrade
Treasury securities for the first
time in history.

OTHER OPINION: CEILING LIMIT
Debt debate:
Put a lid on it
A
STATE HOUSE bill
to increase the top
speed limit on the
Pennsylvania Turn-
pike from 65 to 70 mph might
be better if it didnt come from
a lawmaker who constantly
drives the turnpike back and
forth between Pittsburgh and
Harrisburg.
That gives the proposal by
Rep. Joe Preston, D-
Allegheny County, a
whiff of pet peeveleg-
islation a bill that
would make his life a
bit better. Who
wouldnt like to be in
a position to change
the law to make his
commute easier?
Still, Rep. Pres-
tons hours (and
hours and hours)
spent on the turnpike give him
a lot of insight into that high-
way.
One bit of insight (which, ac-
tually, anyone would realize al-
most immediately while driv-
ing the turnpike): The 65 mph
speed limit is complete fiction.
Seventy tends to be more like a
minimum speed. Its not un-
common to see vehicles going
85 or more.
That doesnt mean we
should change the law to ac-
commodate law breakers.
The main issue must always
be safety. But increasing the
top limit five clicks to better fit
reality doesnt seem like it
would make the highway any
less safe than it already is.
Rep. Preston argues that
physical improvements to the
turnpike over the years have
made it a safer road, and there
are stretches where 70 mph
would not pose a
hazard. Thats
probably true.
There are also sec-
tions in moun-
tains, for instance
where the limit
should be no more
than 55.
The legislation
does not require
the Turnpike
Commission to in-
crease the limit; it just provides
statutory authority to do so.
That seems reasonable. Allow
it tostudy if andwhere toboost
thelimit andlet roadsafetypro-
fessionals make the final call on
this section or that section.
The bill was passed earlier
this month by the House trans-
portation committee. It should
be passedby the full House and
Senate then signed by the
governor.

At the May15 board meeting,
advisory council member Linda
Slater asked if the authority
could create a set of guidelines
oncorrect procedures for riding
buses with information on
fares, transfers and the like.
Strelish said bus schedules
now contain such information,
but he said the authority would
have signs printed with the
same information and place
them inside buses.
The exchange at the meeting
was just the latest in which the
advisory council helped bring
about some change.
Getting the message across
Wilkes-Barre resident Tim
Owens, who has been riding
buses regularly for the past sev-
en years, said he joined the ad-
visory council because he had
some ideas for improvements
to the system.
AndI sawa needfor commu-
nication there, between man-
agement and the ridership, he
said.
Owens is pleased with the au-
thoritys openness to listen to
riders. Some of the councils
suggestions have been turned
down, but the authority agreed
to give others a try, he said.
When we take things to the
board, theyre at least respon-
sive for when we meet again.
Theyve listened to our con-
cerns, Owens said.
For example, some bus driv-
ers most often those who
drive for Martz and other mo-
torists were ignoring stop signs
painted on the pavement in the
James F. Conahan Intermodal
Transportation Center, he said.
The council recommended
erecting stop signs in their
place, the authority brought the
request to the city, it was ap-
proved, the signs were erected
and it has made a difference,
Kepner said.
Stressing better safety
Advisorycouncil members al-
so want to see another cross-
walk or two installed in the in-
termodal center.
Currently, there is only one
crosswalk between the island
on which riders board and dis-
embark from parked buses and
thesidewalkthat leads tothein-
door waiting area and pedestri-
an entrance/exit points of the
intermodal center.
Some riders who are either
runninglate or whoare just lazy
will sometimes take a more di-
rect route and run or walk be-
hind buses instead of using the
crosswalk, which creates a dan-
gerous situation, Kepner said.
If riders want to see such
changes, theyneedtotakemore
responsibilityas well andfollow
the rules, Kepner said.
Kepner said one thing she
doesnt like about the intermo-
dal center is the walkway from
Public Square between Roda-
nos and the Luzerne Bank
building.
It just seems a much more
closed-in area. I would not walk
alonethereafter dark, shesaid.
Backing for the bus drivers
Kepner said shes pleased the
authority has contracted with
Reilly Associates a Pittston-
based engineering, environ-
mental, surveying and inspec-
tionfirm to conduct a study to
suggest enhancements for oper-
ations at the intermodal.
Kepner said authority Oper-
ations Manager Robb Hender-
son, who chairs the Ridership
Committee, sent her an email
asking for the time and date of
the next advisory council meet-
ing because Reilly Associates
wants to send a representative
to it.
That was another positive. I
thought, if theyre going to have
a safety company come in, talk
to the riders and we can tell you
what we think is unsafe and
then let the professionals make
recommendations on how to
make it safer, Kepner said.
Kepner said that as a group,
the advisory council is 100 per-
cent behind the bus drivers.
They are doing the best they
can given this particular setup.
They have been with us since
day one, she said.
She encourages people to at-
tend advisory council meetings
even if they are not bus riders
because they can offer another
viewpoint as well as gain a bet-
ter understanding of riders.
Not just riders benefit
Kepner said she sometimes
hears negative comments that
the authority should buy small-
er buses because they are often
empty or that theyre a waste of
taxpayer money. She said buses
are usually at the start or end of
a run but are otherwise heavily
used.
I get this impression that
taxpayers think that if youre us-
ing the bus, youre somehowus-
ing taxpayer money. But any-
one who uses a bus, theres a
positive that comes out of that.
Even if you dont use a bus,
you benefit by people who do
use a bus, she said.
There are fewer cars out and
about trying to get to work,
parking is easier and pollution
is lower, Kepner said. There is
somuchgoodfrompublic trans-
portation.
A volunteer with the health
promotion coalition Live Well
Luzerne and member of the
advisory council and a bus rid-
er, Carol Hussa said public
transportation plays a great
role in a communitys physical
health.
In Wilkes-Barre city, 23 per-
cent of households dont own a
car, so that makes a lot of pedes-
trians and public transit riders
and bike riders who are depend-
ent on public transportation to
get around, Hussa said.
She also believes its an issue
of social justice.
Those 23 percent of people
who dont own cars for whatev-
er reason, they may be disabled
and cant drive, they may be
low-income and cant afford a
car cars are expensive to in-
sure and maintain and buy. Its
an access-to-employment issue
as well, Hussa said.
We want our public trans-
portation organization to be re-
sponsive to the ridership and
the public, and were here to
help them, she said.

gument, andresultingdecision, couldonlybe
made based on sworn testimony already giv-
en in the case. That hasnt happened because
Sandusky waived his right to a preliminary
hearing in December.
This month, Sandusky lawyer Joe Amen-
dola sought dismissal, saying that testimony
regarding Victim 2 in a parallel case by a key
witness, assistant coach Mike McQueary, fell
short of what would be required for a convic-
tion. Amendola also argued that there was no
evidence of sexual contact with a so-called
Victim 6 and that the charges involving Vic-
tim 8 would require impermissible hearsay.
Sandusky, 68, is accused of sexually abus-
ing 10 boys over 15 years, but recent defense
filings have suggested prosecutors may have
designated as many as seven additional vic-
tims. He denies the allegations and is con-
fined to his home to await trial.
The Victim 2 allegations are among the
most serious that Sandusky faces, and the
fact that prosecutors havent beenable tofind
him has complicated their case, as demon-
strated by the recent change in the allega-
tions date, from March 2002 to February
2001.
Adding to the mystery is the report by
Amendola that a young man contacted him
after Sanduskys arrest to say he believed he
might be Victim2. The young man, accompa-
nied by his mother and brother, met with
Amendola, but Amendola wasnt convinced
he fit the description and the lawyer said he
wasnt planning to call him as a witness.
I wasnt sure he was Victim 2, Amendola
said in March. Im still not sure. I havent
been able to verify it. Jerrys very sure.
Amendola said the young man told him
Sandusky hadnt abused him, but he later ob-
tained a lawyer and cut off contact.
McQueary testified at a December prelimi-
nary hearing for Penn State administrators
Gary Schultz and TimCurley that he arrived
inthelocker roomoneFridaynight andheard
rhythmic slapping sounds and a shower
running.
He said he saw Sandusky behind a boy,
whose hands were against the wall, and there
was no question in his mind that a sexual act
was going on. Both were naked, he said.
I believed Jerry was sexually molesting
him and having some type of sexual inter-
course with him, McQueary testified. He
added he didnt see insertion and was not
100 percent sure there was intercourse.
He said he made eye contact with both
Sandusky andthe boy but didnt say anything
before leaving the locker room.
McQueary first contacted his father and
then Paterno, who reported the matter to
Curley. Paterno has said that in hindsight, he
wished he had done more.
Paternowas firedbythetrustees a fewdays
after Sanduskys arrest and died of lung can-
cer in January. He wasnt charged with any
crime.
ABUSE
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama paid tribute Mon-
day to the men and women who
have died defending America,
pointing to Vietnam veterans as
an under-appreciated and some-
times maligned group of war he-
roes who remained true to their
nation despite an unwelcome
homecoming.
You were sometimes blamed
for the misdeeds of a few, Oba-
ma said at the Vietnam War Me-
morial. You came home and
were sometimes denigrated
when you should have been cele-
brated. It was a national shame, a
disgrace that should have never
happened.
Eventhoughsome Americans
turned their backs on you, you
never turned your back on Amer-
ica, Obama said.
MarkingMemorial Day at both
the black granite wall honoring
more than 58,000 soldiers who
died in the Vietnam War and ear-
lier at Arlington National Ceme-
tery across the Potomac River
from the capital, Obama noted
that for the first time in nine
years, Americans are not fight-
inganddyinginIraq, andthe na-
tion was winding down its role in
the conflict in Afghanistan.
After a decade under the dark
cloud of war, we can see the light
of the new day on the horizon,
Obama said to an audience gath-
ered at the Arlington amphithe-
ater lined with American flags
under a warm, brilliant sun.
In this election year, Obama
saidthe nationmust remaincom-
mitted to providing for the fam-
ilies of fallen soldiers and help re-
turningservice members seeking
a job, higher education or health
care benefits.
As long as Im president, we
will make sure you and your
loved ones will receive the bene-
fits youve earned and the respect
you deserve, Obama said.
America will be there for you.
Obama said sending troops in-
to harms way was the most
wrenching decision that I have to
make. And I can promise you I
will never do so unless its abso-
lutely necessary.
As he seeks re-election, Obama
has reminded audiences about
the end of the war in Iraq and the
move to bring all troops home
fromAfghanistan by 2014. And in
a campaignadreleasedlast week,
he credits U.S. servicemen who
helped in the raid that killed Osa-
ma bin Laden.

date Mitt Romney, meantime,
promised to maintain an Ameri-
canmilitary withnocomparable
power anywhere in the world.

presidential nominee appeared

na, the GOPs 2008 presidential
candidate, before a crowd in San
Diego estimated at 5,000 in what

vice, not a campaign event.

T
he greatest linebacker Ted Jack-
son ever coached, in a long
factory line of hellacious hitters,
is an oil man now working days that
run as long as 20 hours in the fields for
him.
Before that, Rich Butcofski said, he
worked a job as a deep sea lobster diver
that only a very small percentage of the
population have the stamina, or the
will, to endure.
And Butcofski, nearly 20 years re-
moved from playing under Jackson at
Dallas High School, knows exactly
where he found the fortitude that
serves him so well in his life.
Hes the one that molded me, But-
cofski said, into what I am.
Similar stories were flying all around
the Irem Temple Country Club, which
was overflowing with thousands of past
Dallas players and supporters who
came back Sunday to honor Jackson.
He may no longer be the coach at
Dallas. But Jackson will always be their
coach.
Its great to see the familiar faces,
the 60-year-old Jackson said. The
turnout reflects the great coaches and
parents we had. Thats why we had
success. People came from Florida,
from California, to come here. That
reflects Dallas football.
Its a family affair here.
The leader of that family was re-
moved, voted out of the position he
held for 27 years in February by a
school board that seemingly wanted to
soften the image of the Dallas football
program. But Jackson didnt build his
Mountaineers into a Wyoming Valley
Conference power by backing down.
He came at you with a rough, tough
personality, swearing up and down the
sidelines in that raspy, grumpy voice
that prodded his players to perform at
levels they never thought theyd reach.
Why am I like this? I didnt want to
lose games back in high school, said
Butcofski, who was the face of Dallas
punishing defense that won the 1993
Class 2A state championship, and
maybe the face of Dallas football for
the ages.
I was scared to lose.
This is what Dallas lost.
A guy who not only won 227 games,
produced a .734 winning percentage
and suffered one single losing season in
his 27 seasons at Dallas, but made his
players strive to perform better than
what they thought was their best. Even
after they walked away from football.
To be a leader, a hard worker, to be
self-motivated, Pat Murray, a wide
receiver and defensive back at Dallas
from 2006-08, said he learned from
Jackson. He was a great guy, a great
coach.
Was it such a great move to get rid of
Jackson?
Go ask the big ballroom full of guys
who not only played for him, but came
from all over the creation to honor
him.
Hes leaving a legacy, said former
Dallas player Jeff Parrish. Terrible
situation to actually have to come to
something like this. Times are chang-
ing, I guess.
The family traditions you see here,
his brother Chris Parrish said, pointing
to not only brothers but fathers and
sons who played for Jackson, its a
testament to how long hes been at
Dallas. Its interesting how families
align with the football program.
This is what Jackson envisioned hed
see when he began his first head coach-
ing job at Dallas 27 years ago.
My dream, Jackson said, was to
put Dallas football on the map.
It is a map that extended across oil
fields and out to the sea, where the
lessons that began on Jacksons football
field turned into keepers for life.

I finishedthe first mile in5:05, saidWadas.
After the first mile, I felt that I had a comfort-

Nevertheless, Wadas felt he needed to pick
up the pace.
I picked up the pace, because I felt I needed
to, in order to force myself to run fast in the
heat, he said. I finished Mile 3 in 15:30. The
heat got to me over the fourth mile. But I ran

STANDINGS/STATS
ROCHESTER, N.Y. Nelson
Figueroa made his return to the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
rotation and had one of his best
starts of the season, helping the
Yankees to a 6-3 victory over the
Toledo Mud Hens Monday.
Figueroa held the Mud Hens to
just one run in seven innings in
the opening game of a four game
series at Frontier Field.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre jump-
ed out to a 1-0 lead in the bottom
half of the second when Argenis
Diaz couldnt handle a ground
ball off the bat of Ramiro Pena.
Jack Cust scored on the Diaz er-
ror. The inning could have been
much bigger for the Yankees,
who loaded the bases with just
one out but could only manage
the one run.
The Yankees extended their
lead to 5-0 with a four-run sec-
ond. With two outs in the inning,
Brandon Laird delivered a two-
RBI double to right field scoring
Matt Antonelli and Jack Cust.
Francisco Cervelli then provided
the final two runs of the inning
witha two-runhome runto right-
centerfield.
Brad Eldred brought the Mud
Hens within 6-1 with his Interna-
tional League leading 19th home
runof the season. Eldredcrushed
his second homer of the day over
the left field wall cutting the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre lead to
just 6-3.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre im-
proved to 27-22, while Toledo fell
to 24-27.
The Yankees and Mud Hens
play game two of the four game
series at Frontier Field tonight.
NOTES: Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre pitcher Ramon Ortiz has
been named the International

1916 Christy Mathewson defeated the Boston
Braves 3-0 for the New York Giants 17th consec-
utive road win.
1922 The U.S. Supreme Court ruled organized
baseball was primarily a sport and not a business,
and therefore not subject to antitrust laws and in-
terstate commerce regulations. The suit had been
brought by the Federal Leagues Baltimore fran-
chise.
1928 Bill Terry hit for the cycle to lead the New
York Giants to a 12-5 win over Brooklyn at Ebbets
Field. Terry became the first player in major league
history to include a grand slam as part of the cycle.
1942 New Yorks Lefty Gomez, self-described
as the worst-hitting pitcher in baseball, banged out
four hits while pitching a 16-1 four-hitter against
Washington.
1946 In a reverse integration role, Edward Klep
became the first white to play in the Negro leagues
in a game played in Grand Rapids. Klep pitched
seven innings for the Cleveland Buckeyes against
the American Giants in his debut with the Negro
American League team.
1956 Dale Long went hitless for the Pirates,
ending his major league record streak of home
runs in eight consecutive games. The Brooklyn
Dodgers beat Pittsburgh, 10-1.
1965 Philadelphias Richie Allen hit a 529-foot
home run over the roof of Connie Mack Stadium
off Chicagos Larry Jackson in the Phillies 4-2 vic-
tory.
1976 Houstons Joe Niekro was the winning
pitcher and hit a home run off his brother, Phil
Niekro. The Astros beat the Atlanta Braves 4-1. It
was the only home run hit by Joe in his 22-year
major league career.
1990 Oaklands Rickey Henderson broke Ty
Cobbs 62-year-old American League stolen base
record, but the Toronto Blue Jays still beat the
Athletics 2-1. Hendersons 893rd steal came in the
sixth inning.
2000 Oakland second baseman Randy Velarde
turned the 10th unassisted triple play in regular-
season history during a 4-1 loss to the New York
Yankees. With runners on first and second in mo-
tion, Shane Spencer hit a line drive to Velarde who
caught the ball, tagged out Jorge Posada (running
from first) and stepped on second to beat Tino
Martinez.

Skwierz, who was a standout
runner for LockHavenUniversi-
ty, ran in fourth place over the
first mile. Then he made his
move.
I picked off (Dom) over Mile
2, saidSkwierz. ThenI passed
Adams somewhere between
Miles 2 and 3.
But there was nocatchingWa-
das.
Chris ran a great race, con-
sideringthe heat, saidSkwierz.
I felt I ran well in the heat, too.
It was really hot.
Plant won the female division
of the race in 33:01. The17-year-
old from Swoyersville outdis-
tanced second-place finisher,
Jenn Swiderski, 25, of Kingston
by 12 seconds. Deedra Porfirio,
35, of West Pittston, finished
third, 14seconds behindSwider-
ski.
Plant, who runs track and
cross country and swims for
Wyoming Valley West High
School, received the Kerry
ONeil Memorial trophy for her
effort. Porfirio, who has won
more local races than any other
female this season, may have
struggled somewhat after run-
ning a half marathon on Sunday.
I wasnt expecting to win,
said Plant. Ive never run this
race before. And I didnt know
what to expect. The course was
very flat. And it was very, very
hot. But Imreally thrilledabout
winning.
Plant ran in fourth place for
the first two miles. Thats when
she began picking off the fe-
males who were running ahead
of her.
I finally took over the lead af-
ter finishing the fourth mile as
we got onto the avenue, she
said.
Then, it was a question of
holding off the other females
along the long home stretch to
the finish, running over what
seems to be an unending trek
without much shade from the
sun.
But, Plant was up to the task.

non, who won a third-place age
group award in the 20-24 brack-
et, recently graduated from the

NEW YORK Now all the
Philadelphia Phillies and their
fans can do is wait. For another
day, at least.
The Phillies say they will send
Roy Halladay to see a doctor on
Tuesday, two days after he came
out of a start due to a sore right
shoulder. On Monday, the team
was still determining where and
when, exactly, their star right-
hander will be examined.
Halladay first started to feel
discomfort in Tuesdays start
against Washington, but pitched
through it. He cut back on
throwing be-
tween starts,
but it didnt
help and he left
after two in-
nings against
St. Louis that
included Yadier
Molinas grand
slam.
Halladay started the season in
his usual overpowering way,
holding the Pittsburgh Pirates to
two hits in eight innings of a 1-0
win. Everything seemed pretty
much normal until he blew a 6-0
lead and was pulled after eight
earned runs in 5 1-3 innings
against Atlanta on May 2.
Since then, hes 1-3, and the
Phillies have lost four of his five
starts. The one win came in an
ordinary effort against the Cubs,
during Chicagos longest losing
streak in at least 15 years.
Halladay went on the disabled
list in 2004 because of a shoulder
injury, but rebounded with six
All-Star appearances and won
the 2010 NL Cy Young Award in
his first year with Philadelphia.
As good as he was in most of
his 12 seasons in Toronto, he has
been even better since coming to
Philadelphia. In 2010 and 2011,
he topped 200 strikeouts both
seasons and struck out more
than six batters for every one he
walked.
Philadelphias other ace, Cliff
Lee, has had his own issues. The
Phillies are 2-5 in games the left-
hander started, and he got into a
dugout argument with outfielder
Shane Victorino after Lee and
Hunter Pence both misplayed
balls Saturday, allowing the Car-
dinals take the lead. Lee got his
fifth no-decision in Philadel-
phias 5-3 win.
The Phillies have struggled
since they were eliminated from
the playoffs last October. Ryan
Howard grounded out to end
that series and ruptured his
Achilles tendon while coming
out of the batters box. Howard is
still recovering, and Chase Utley
hasnt played this year, either.
The five-time All-Star second
baseman began the season in
Arizona, rehabilitating his chron-
ically sore knees, and has been
doing so with the Phillies lately,
taking infield and trying to reach
a point where he can contribute.
Absent Halladay, the Phillies
rotation probably would be Lee
and fellow left-hander Cole Ha-
mels, along with Joe Blanton
and Kyle Kendrick.
Vance Worleys absence due to
elbow pain necessitated bring-
ing in Kendrick, but Worley was
checked out by Dr. James An-
drews, who said the righty did
not need surgery to replace the
ulnar collateral ligament in his
elbow. Worley has pitched well
this season 45 strikeouts, 15
walks and a 3.07 ERA though
when he might make his first
start since May 11 is not yet
known.
Kendrick has probably shown
enough to stick, with an ERA of
1.64 in his last five starts, and the
Phillies have an off day Thurs-
day, so they probably would not
need a fifth starter immediately.

NEW YORK Shackleford held off a
furious rush to the finish by Calebs Posse
and won the $750,000 Metropolitan
Handicap by a nose on a steamy Monday
at Belmont Park.
The stretch run was a thriller.
Shackleford led from the start, and
when the field turned for home Calebs
Posse came charging down the stretch.
But the 2011 Preakness winner dug in for
the win, with hard-luck Calebs Posse los-
ing a photo finish for the third straight
race.
Trained by Dale Romans, Shackleford
covered the mile in 1:33.30, and returned
$8.80 for a $2 win bet as the 3-1 second
choice in perhaps the strongest field of ol-
der horses this year.
He beat the best today, said winning
trainer Dale Romans, who will send out
Dullahan in the Belmont Stakes on June 9
inanattempt to upset Triple Crownhope-
ful Ill Have Another. Its as gooda race as
weve seen in a long time. He laid it all on
the line.
After his Preakness win, Shackleford
lost his next seven starts before winning
the Churchill Downs Stakes onMay 5. Ro-
mans firmly believed his colt was back in
the groove. He was right, but just barely.
Ridden for the first time by John Velaz-
quez, Shacklefordbroke tothe front inthe
field of six, which also included Grade 1
winners To Honor and Serve, the 8-5 fa-
vorite, and Jackson Bend. Entering the fi-
nal turn, Shackleford was still in com-
mand, but Calebs Posse, under Rajiv Ma-
ragh, began his patented come-from-be-
hind move on the outside from about 10
lengths back.
With every long stride, Calebs Posse
movedcloser to the lead, andpulledwith-
in inches of Shackleford at the finish. A
photo confirmed Shackleford had won.
This was our goal from the beginning
of the year, said Romans of the Grade 1
race also called the Met Mile. Hes gutsy
as theycome. Hopefully, hell get thecred-
it he deserves. Hes a spectacular hose.

sists for the Greyhounds, whose
only loss this seasonwas toJohns
Hopkins in overtime on April 28.
When the game ended, Loyo-
las players rushed toward goalie
Jack Runkel, leaving a trail of
sticks, helmets and gloves for a
celebratory pileup. The players
thenranacross the fieldanda few
leaped into the stands where
their fans were seated before lin-
ing up and shaking hands with
the Maryland players.
The two Maryland schools are

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
Johnny Tapia, the five-time box-
ing champion whose turbulent
career was marked by cocaine ad-
diction, alcohol, depression and
run-ins with the law, was found
dead Sunday at his Albuquerque
home. He was 45.
Authorities were called to the
house at about
7:45 p.m. on
Sunday, spokes-
man Robert
Gibbs said. The
death didnt ap-
pear to be sus-
picious, he said.
Tapia won
five champion-
ships in three
weight classes, winningthe WBA
bantamweight title, the IBF and
WBO junior bantamweight titles
and the IBF featherweight belt.
He was regarded as the con-
summate underdog by his fans.
The more trouble he found out-
side the ring including several
stints in jail the more they ral-
lied around him.
In a 1990s-era feud with fellow
Albuquerque boxer and former
world champion Danny Romero,
Tapias fans anointed him with
the slang Spanish title of Bur-
ques Best.
But his life was also marked by
tragedy. He was orphaned at 8,
his mother stabbed26 times with
a screwdriver and left to die.
In 2007, he was hospitalized af-
ter anapparent cocaineoverdose.
Several days later, his brother-in-
lawandhis nephewwere killedin
car accident ontheir way to Albu-
querque to see the ailing boxer.
Tapia was banned from boxing
for 31/2years inthe early90s be-
cause of his cocaine addiction.
But he knocked out Henry Marti-
nez to win the WBO bantam-
weight title in1994, and won four
more championships over the
next eight years.

SANANTONIOGregg Pop-
ovichs I want some nasty! is
fast becoming the catchphrase of
the NBA playoffs. Its eminently
quotable, brash and an overnight
splash.
In other words, its everything
the San Antonio Spurs are not.
Theyve also heard far worse in
timeouts from the NBA Coach of
the Year, who bellowed his now-
famous and fuming marching or-
ders that jumpstarted a fourth-
quarter rally, extended a history-
matching winning streak to 19
andleft theOklahomaCityThun-
der stunnedheading into Game 2
of the Western Conference finals
tonight.
Youve got to watch Pop
hes good at turning that micro-
phone on and off, Spurs forward
Stephen Jackson said Monday.
You dont hear some of the stuff
he says.
All the Thunder mostly heard
Monday were questions about
their costly collapse down the
stretch.
Oklahoma City started the
fourth quarter leading a rare
feat against the Spurs in the past
47 days, which is how long its
been since their last loss. Going
up 2-0 would put the Spurs
among just three others teams in
NBA history with winning
streaks of 20 games or longer.
It would also break the record
for longest winning streak ex-
tended in the playoffs, a mark the
Spurs now share with the 2001
Lakers.
We really dont care, guard
ManuGinobili said. Weareclose
seven games from accom-
plishing something way better
thana streak. (The streak) is hap-
pening, its fine. But we always
think about next time and how
tough its going to be.
Its the first time the Thunder
have trailed in a playoff series
since being down 1-0 in the West
finals last season. They answered
with a Game 2 win in Dallas then
had their season quickly spiral to
an end with three straight losses.
The easy narrative after Sun-
days loss was how the Spurs
awakened by Popovich growling
at them to start playing nasty
during a timeout that was caught
on camera erased a nine-point
deficit through sheer intensity
and experience. The Thunder,
however, rattled off their own ex-
planations Monday at what went
wrong.
Among them was head coach
Scott Brooks admitting to mak-
ing a mistake by keeping forward
Serge Ibaka, the runner-up in the
NBADefensive Player of the Year
balloting, on the bench in the
fourth quarter. Thats when the
Spurs scored 39 points and shot
12 of 16, after the Thunder held
San Antonio to just 16 points in
the third.
Brooks said hell beat himself
up over not putting his defensive
ace back in the game, while ex-
plaining how sidelining Ibaka
seemedthe right idea at the time.
After all, Brooks said, keeping
Ibaka out and going with a small-
er lineup worked in the previous
playoff series against the defend-
ing champion Mavericks and the
Lakers.
I think every decision you
make, if it doesnt work out, you
say, Why did you do that?
Brooks said. And Im with you
on that. I wish I wouldve played
Serge last night.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. If Dustin
Brown stands up in the Los Angeles
locker roombefore the Stanley Cup
finals opener Wednesday night and
delivers a stirring, emotional speech
that would make Mark Messier
proud, his teammates wont know
how to react.
Well, hes not a rah-rah guy,
veteran Kings defenseman Matt Greene said.
We dont have too many of those guys in the
room. But he knows howto lead, and he
does it by example.
Brown prefers showing to telling, whether
its with a timely goal or a bruising hit. The
Los Angeles captains playoff performance
has demonstrated something quite clearly to
the Kings: Behind his leadership theyre
capable of winning the franchises first title.
Browns hard-hitting, high-scoring play has
been the biggest revelation of the postseason
for the eighth-seeded Kings, but his quantum
leap forward began during the regular sea-
son. Browns run of stellar play started right
after he was prominently featured in trade-
deadline rumors linking him to Toronto and
beyond, forcing the forward to wonder
whether he would have to move his young
family away fromhis only NHL team.
Of course its concerning to you, but I
tried to just concentrate on what I could
control, said Brown, the NHLs third-leading
postseason scorer. I just focused on hockey
and getting this team to the playoffs, because
I felt like we had a team that could do a lot if
we got there and started playing together.
We felt like we owed it to the fans here to
take a shot instead of worrying.
The Kings long-suffering fans are always
near the forefront of Browns mind when he
discusses this playoff run. He realizes Los
Angeles has enjoyed only one
previous run to the final in 45
years of existence, and he learned
all about the Kings paltry playoff
success when he logged 431 regu-
lar-season games with the fran-
chise before reaching his first
postseason two years ago.
This is the most successful
weve been, but its not where we
want to end up, Brown said.
With16 points in just 14 games, Browns
scoring has sparked the Kings, but his phys-
ical play has been even more decisive. Critics
call hima dirty player, decrying his emphatic
checks and occasional open-ice hits, but his
teammates say hes brilliant at toeing the line
of legality.
He exemplified that play in the Kings
clinching victory of the Western Conference
finals when he leveled Phoenixs Michal
Rozsival at the blue line a moment after the
play was whistled dead. Rozsival needed
help getting to the locker room, and the
Coyotes protested loudly but Brown
didnt get a penalty, and Dustin Penner
scored the series-winning goal on the ensu-
ing shift.
Coyotes captain Shane Doan chirped at
Brown in the handshake line, and Doans
teammates berated Brown after the game.
NHL discipline chief Brendan Shanahan
didnt even feel the hit warranted a hearing,
much less supplemental discipline.
Even those who insist Brown goes too far
must acknowledge hes great at playing on
the edge.
Youve got to try to go after guys, get guys
off their game, Brown said. Youve got to
find a way. If theyre trying to go after me,
thats good for us. I try to be hard on their
top guys, and they try the same with us, but
youve got to be better at it.

CONCORD, N.C. Rick Hen-
drick says he made a mistake last
year, somethingtheowners teams
havent done much lately.
Hendrickacknowledgedheadd-
ed pressure to his programs when
he spoke of winNo. 200sosoonaf-
ter Jimmie Johnson collected the
199th victory at Kansas last Octo-
ber. Then came the lost chances
and missed opportunities that
stung Hen-
dricks four
teams until Dar-
lington Race-
way earlier this
month, when
Johnson earned
the milestone
win.
Since then,
the Hendrick cars have been un-
stoppable. Johnson won the NAS-
CARAll-Star raceat CharlotteMo-
tor Speedway last week before Ka-
sey Kahne won his first race with
Hendrick in Sunday nights Coca-
Cola 600.
Hendrick is working on a new
goal now: havingall four of his cars
in NASCARs championship
chase. Dont bet against him with
the kind of run theyre on heading
into the second half of NASCARs
season.
When youve got drivers that
want toworktogether, crewchiefs
thatwanttoworktogether, respect
each other, these guys fit in like a
glove, Hendrick said of Kahne
and crew chief Kenny Francis on
Sunday night. Everybody over
there was excited about having
them. Whenyouseeall thedrivers
cometovictorylanetonight, it just
shows that everybodys proud.
Kahne led all four Hendrick
teamsinthetop11. DaleEarnhardt
Jr. was sixth, Jeff Gordon seventh
and Johnson 11th. With 14 races
left before the chase, Earnhardt in
fourth and five-time champion
Johnson in fifth look solidly in the
top10. Kahne moved up to15th in
points but more importantly
earned a victory that could help
him snatch one of the two wild-
card spots in NASCARs 12-driver
playoffs.
Theteamneedingthemost help
is Gordons. The four-time cham-
pion is stuck without a win in
22nd. His seventh-place finish at
Charlotte was just his third top 10
of the year.
Hendrick said Gordon and
Kahne had just rotten luck the
early part of the season.
Kahne closed out his pre-Hen-
drickcareer withavictoryat Phoe-
nix last November and figured it
wouldnt take long to find a win-
ning grove. Instead, Kahne didnt
finish better than 14th in his first
six races.

BOISE, Idaho Evelyn Ste-
vens wonthe Exergy Tour follow-
ing a final-stage breakaway Mon-
day, firmly cementing her claim
to a berth on the U.S. Olympic
team for the London Games.
Stevens, of Boulder, Colo.,
tooksecondplace ina sprint with
Germanys Claudia Haeusler af-
ter the 46.7-mile stage. But the
29-year-old Stevens finished far
enough ahead of the pack to beat
Amber Neben, of Lake Forest,
Calif., for the overall title.
After Neben, Canadas Clara
Hughes finished in third place af-
ter five days of racing. Stevens,
Neben and Hughes all ride for
Specialized-lululemon.
Stevens, a former Wall Street
associate, takes home $10,000 for
the overall win. She bought her
first racing bike in 2008 and then
became a cycling phenomenon.
Its an honor to race here and
its an honor to represent the
United States, hopefully, Ste-
vens said. Im a little bit later to
the sport of cycling, so hopefully
people can hear my story and re-
alize its never too late or never
too early.
The Exergy Tour wound its
way through southwestern Ida-
ho, making stops in the Snake
River wine country, the moun-
tains above the historic mining
region surrounding Idaho City
and concluding on the tree-lined
streets just northof Boises down-
town.
The race had been anticipated
as a showdown between three
U.S. women: Stevens, the 2011
U.S. time trial champ; Neben, the
2008 world champion; and 2008
Beijing Olympics gold medalist
Kristin Armstrong, from Boise.
But Armstrong crashed on the
first day, suffering a broken col-
larbone.
Stevens turned pro in 2009 af-
ter consultingwith1984 Olympic
gold medalist Connie Carpenter.
She called me and asked me,
Should I quit my day job, re-
members Carpenter, who works
as an analyst for the Exergy Tour.
I asked her, Well, how much
money are you making at your
job now? Carpenter said. But it
turns out it was a good decision.

LAS VEGAS For serious po-
ker players, its like Christmas
and the Olympics combined.
The World Series of Poker
opened in Las Vegas Monday
with its first gold bracelet event.
More than 2,000 players entered
the $1,500 buy-in, three-day tour-
nament at the Rio hotel and casi-
no off the Las Vegas Strip.
The World Series of Poker
draws tens of thousands of poker
fans to Las Vegas each year to
compete for millions in prize
money and 61 championship
bracelets.
This weeks event stretches
from noon to 2 a.m. Poker cham-
pions Phil Ivey, Allen Cunning-
ham and Daniel Negreanu were
among the players.
For their $1,500 buy-in, players
get chips worth $5,000 in game
money. They cant cash out. The
point is to not go bust and stay in
as long as possible to make it to
the final rounds on Wednesday,
when the champion will win the
first of the many bedazzledbrace-
lets given out during the series
and several hundred thousand
dollars. Participants can only
make money if they make into
the final 10 percent of players.
On Monday, the poker tables
were filled with dozens of young
men, a few older men and some
women. Some players listened to
music on headphones during the
rounds and few drank alcohol,
their focus mostly on the cards.
The stamina required to play
through all the rounds tends to
draw young male participants,
said WSOP spokesman Seth Pa-
lansky.
They are making it hard for
the older players, Palansky said.
Pius Heinz, 22, of Germany,
won the $8.72 million top prize
last year out of 75,000 participa-
nts. About 95 percent of them
were men.
The World Series of Poker will
host a never-before-seen $1 mil-
lion buy-in tournament this year
expected to generate the biggest
topprize inpoker history at more
than $12 million. Nearly 40 play-
ers have already entered.
The charity-focused Big One
for One Drop starts July 1 in Las
Vegas. The final table will air live
on ESPN.

international competition in
Germany in November.
Competing in the competi-
tion along with Koshinski was
Elena Lagoski, a 16-year-old
from Wyoming Valley West.
A third member of the
Northeast Gymnastics, Paige
Parsnik competed in the Level
Nine Eastern National Cham-
pionship in Landover, Md.
Parsnik is a 14-year-old stu-
dent at Solomon Plains Junior
High School.
The events competed in
were vault, uneven bars, bal-
ance beams and floor exercise.
Lagoski placed second on
floor exercises as well and fin-
ishing 17th overall, while Pars-
nik finished 13th overall at her
event.
Lagoski has been a member
of the academy dating back to
her days as an infant in Mom-
my & Me classes, while Kosh-
inski has been a member for
six years and Parsnick for
eight.
The girls were accompanied
to their competitions by as-
sistant trainer Laurie Dexter.
Dexter, 46, said this was the
first year for Parsnik and
Koshinski in the national spot-
light, and the second year for
Lagoski.
She said that in order to
qualify for these events, the
students participate in compe-
titions throughout the entire
year.
They participate in six or
seven invitational competi-
tions and try to get certain
scores to advance to state
competitions, said Dexter. If
they can get a certain score at
states they are then qualified
to move on to regional compe-
titions and so on. After that
they select six competitors for
Level Nine Nationals and sev-
en for Level 10 Nationals.
Dexter said that the nation-
al competition is broken into
eight regions of states
throughout the country, and
her girls represented the re-
gion of Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Maryland,
West Virginia and Virginia.
They teamed with fellow com-
petitors from these respective
states.
Dexter was very happy with
the outcome of the events, but
was happier with the effort of
her students.
Im extremely proud of
them, Dexter said. They
have such passion for what
they do and they worked very
hard. They did everything
they could have done and did a
great job, but most important-
ly they had a fun time.
Dexter has been a trainer at
Northeast Gymnastics Acade-
my for 17 years, and theyve
had students participate for
national titles for the past 10
years. She said their goal is to
get more students to compete
every year.
Our goal is to try and get
these kids opportunities to
compete at high levels, said
Dexter. (Compete) regional-
ly, nationally, internationally,
and maybe get college scholar-
ships out of it.
The Northeast Gymnastics
Academys students have had
great success in the past, in-
cluding a two-time National
Vault Champion in 2008 and
2009 in former student Lauren
Rogers. Dexter said they have
had students finish top 10 in
nationals and had students re-
ceive gymnastics scholarships
by colleges such as LSU and
West Virginia.

Trio earns national honors
By JIMMY FISHER
Kazakhstan 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-4; and Chris-
tina McHale edged Kiki Bertens of the
Netherlands 2-6, 6-4, 6-4.
Were all pushing each other at the
same time, said McHale, a 20-year-
old from Englewood Cliffs, N.J. Its
like a healthy competitiveness, I
think.
Venus Williams, Melanie Oudin, Iri-
na Falconi and Alexa Glatch won Sun-
day.
For Davis, it was her first victory in
three career Grand Slam matches. She
played cleanly, making only 11 un-
forced errors. Barthel had 44, includ-
ing 12 double-faults.
The 5-foot-2 Davis finished last sea-
son ranked 319th, and she entered this
week 162nd.
The secret to success against Bar-
thel?
Her backhand is so sick, so I tried
to keep it away from her backhand
more ... and just kind of grind, Davis
said.
Now she faces McHale, and Mattek-
Sands meets Stephens.
I was just talking to Christina in
the locker room. Im like, Who do you
play? Shes like, I play Lauren Davis.
Im like, Oh, my God. I play Bethanie.
So all the Americans are playing
Americans, but its good that well
have people in the third round, said
Stephens, a 19-year-old from Coral
Springs, Fla., whose late father, John
M. Stephens, was the 1988 NFL Offen-
sive Rookie of the Year.
Everyone always says that were
not good on clay, Stephens said.
Thatll prove em wrong.
Last year, King and Mattek-Sands
both reached the French Opens third
round. But no U.S. woman other than
a Williams sister has made it as far as
the fourth round since 2005.
Usually, Americans are known to
be bad on clay, because we dont play a
lot on clay. ... Personally, I hated clay
for so long up until, like, three
years ago, said King, who splits time
between California and Florida. Its a
different movement with sliding, and
different preparation. On hard courts,
you have to play the points quicker,
and on clay, you have to be a little bit
more patient and work the points
more.
Kings best advice?
You cant go on the court thinking,
I hate this surface and I dont want to
be here, because then youre going to
play badly, she said.
Mattek-Sands had been limited to a
total of nine main-draw singles match-
es before Monday because of lower
back and hip injuries. Her ranking slid
from a career-high 30th last July to
167th this week.
I like the clay, believe it or not,
Mattek-Sands said. I feel comfortable
on this surface.
Then, as if sounding a note of cau-
tion to herself and anyone else who
might get too excited about the Amer-
icans early success in Paris this year
Mattek-Sands added: Its still only
one round, though. There are a few to
go.
Didnt always used to be such a big
deal for U.S. women to win a match at
the French Open. Hard to believe,
maybe, but the WTA said 31 Amer-
icans reached the second round in
1982.

ILO has new head
The U.N. labor agency says it has
elected Guy Ryder of Britain as its new
director general.
The International Labor Organiza-
tion says Ryder, a former general secre-
tary of the International Trade Union
Confederation, was selected in secret
ballot voting by the ILOs governing
body.
The Geneva-based ILO said Monday
that Ryder will start in his new job in
October, replacing Juan Somavia, a
former Chilean ambassador who has
headed the ILO since 1998 and plans to
depart in September.
As a former head of ITUC repre-
senting 176 million workers in 157
nations, Ryder could be viewed as a
boost for labor unions. The U.N. agen-
cy focuses on improving labor condi-
tions around the world.
Tycoon resigns from firm
Russian tycoon Mikhail Fridman on
Monday unexpectedly announced his
resignation as chief executive of TNK-
BP, a sign of rising tensions between
shareholders at the Russian venture of
British company BP.
TNK-BP, which is owned in equal
parts by BP and a group of Russian
billionaire shareholders known as AAR,
said in a statement that Fridman is due
to step down as CEO and chairman of
the board in 30 days. It did not specify
the reason, but BPs representative in
Russia, Vladimir Buyanov, cited per-
sonal reasons.
Fridman is considered one of the
most influential people in the venture.
He has been at TNK-BPs helm since
2009 and was to head it through 2013.
TNK-BP has been plagued by share-
holder conflicts since it was formed in
2003, and Fridmans appointment as
the chief executive three years ago
looked like a sign of reconciliation
between two rival groups of share-
holders.
A source close to the Russian share-
holders told the Associated Press on
Monday that Fridman resigned because
the equilibrium between BP and AARs
investors has been lost and can no
longer be maintained.
Oil giant sees profits rise
Lukoil, Russias second-largest oil
producer, said Monday that its first-
quarter net profit increased by nearly 8
percent, to $3.8 billion on higher oil
prices.
The profit rose from $3.5 billion in
January-March 2011 to $3.8 billion in
the first three months this year, Lukoil
said in a statement, beating analyst
forecasts. Lukoil also said that the net
income was supported by a drop in
income tax due to a weaker ruble.
The companys sales went up 19
percent, from $29.6 billion to $35.3
billion in the first quarter of the year.
Strong revenues were boosted by sales
of refined products (up 28 percent)
while crude oil sales added no more
than 2 percent.
Oil and gas production inched down
0.7 percent to 2.2 million barrels of oil
equivalent.
Lukoil last month began drilling in
one of Iraqs biggest and most promis-
ing oil fields in the south, West Qurna,
where production should reach 150,000
barrels per day by the end of 2013 and
as much as 1.8 million barrels per day
in 2017.
AOL freeloader moves out
A Silicon Valley entrepreneur who
secretly lived at the office of AOL Inc.
to save money now has his own place.
The San Jose Mercury News reports
that 20-year-old Eric Simons recently
received $50,000 in new funding and is
renting a house in Palo Alto.
Simons ended up at AOL with a
$20,000 grant from a business incuba-
tor that used AOLs Palo Alto office.
When he was no longer able to pay
rent, he made the office his home. He
kept clothes at the AOL gym, slept on
couches and grabbed snacks that were
set out for everyone in the morning.
He was caught after about two
months in December by a manager in
the building. But his story first
reported by technology website CNET
last week has generated a buzz that
has attracted other investors.

Big ideas have forev-
er been limited by
small pocketbooks.
By and large, huge
corporations and
people with money
didnt get that way by
taking crazy risks.
As a result, wild ideas, even ones
that everyone seems to think are
good, typically never see the light of
day.
Youd think with all this Internet
stuff, someone somewhere would have
found a way around that problem.
They have. Theyve turned it over
to Kickstarter.
Kickstarter is a crowd funding
platform. You make your pitch or post
your idea on their website, and if
visitors to the site think they have
merit, they can make a cash donation
to help fund the project.
The project can be anything, from a
video game or art project to a sellable
product or business.
If it seems unrealistic that anyone
could manage to convince complete
strangers to give them money because
their ideas look cool, consider the
story of a product called the Pebble
E-Paper Watch, a watch based upon
e-paper display technology that can
also display messages from a mobile
device. After failing to raise enough
capital to launch the product, the
company went to Kickstarter in April
2011, seeking $100,000 in funding to
continue development.
They made a grand total of $10.2
million from 68,929 backers ... so its
probably safe to assume that well be
seeing their product sometime soon.
I first came across Kickstarter when
I was looking up information on an
old computer game that I had played
years ago, called Wasteland, which
was the predecessor to the extremely
popular Fallout series.
I discovered that the creator of the
original Wasteland, Brian Fargo, was
working on a sequel. Feeling that he
would be unable to achieve his ideal
vision for the game if it was under the
control of a major software house,
Fargo bought the naming rights and
pleaded his case on Kickstarter in
March, seeking to raise $900,000 to
develop the game. Hes raised $2.9
million.
The beauty of Kickstarter is that it
makes product development a truly
democratic process. If someone feels
that they can do it better than a major
corporation, and everyone agrees with
them, theyll get the financial backing
they need to do it.
The downside is that Kickstarter
essentially operates on a purely ca-
veat emptor basis if you donate
funding, you should be aware that
theres no guarantee that the product
will ever be made, or that the person
will use it as they say they will. Kick-
starter makes money by taking a 5
percent share of any project thats
successfully met its goal.
Of course, the majority of projects
dont meet their goals, either because
they arent popular or are just plain
bad ideas.
But the success rate is actually a
surprisingly good 44 percent. Who
can say how much of that is luck ver-
sus smart investing?
So, mad scientists, misunderstood
artists or struggling film makers if
the man gives you the thumbs
down, heres your chance to take it to
the people.
Let the crowd Kickstart your new technology project

ATHENS, Greece Greek
stock markets rebounded strong-
ly on Monday from a 22-year low
on hopes a pro-bailout party will
win crucial national elections
next month, which would avoid a
catastrophic rift with interna-
tional creditors and keep the
struggling country within the eu-
ro currency union.
The main stock index in Ath-
ens soared to close up 6.9 per-
cent, with the battered bank sec-
tor chalking up solid gains.
Four polls published Sunday
reversed previous trends to indi-
cate that conservative New De-
mocracy could come first in the
June17vote, slightly aheadof the
anti-austerity radical left Syriza
party. Although the conserva-
tives wouldstill fall short of agov-
erning majority, the surveys sug-
gested they could form a coali-
tion government with socialist
PASOK, which have also pledged
to stick to Greeces austerity
commitments.
Banks also received a boost
Monday: The countrys four
largest lenders received prom-
ised support of (euro) 18 billion
($22.62 billion) to compensate
for losses suffered in a massive
debt restructuring deal earlier
this year. Theannouncement was
made by Greeces Financial Sta-
bility Fund after the Athens
bourse closed.
Debt-crippled Greece is being
kept afloat by huge international
rescue loans, granted on condi-
tion of harsh cutbacks and re-
forms that slashed living stan-
dards.
Greeces bailout creditors
the other countries in the 17-na-
tion eurozone and the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund insist
that if the country reneges on its
austerity commitments, the res-
cue loans will stop.
That would unleash chaos.
The government would be un-
able to pay hospital workers, po-
liceandteachers, pensions would
dry up, and a potential panic run
on bank deposits would destroy
the tottering financial system.
Eventually, the country could be
forced to abandon the eurozone,
reverting to a vastly devalued
formof its old drachma currency.
Fears of such an outcome have
battered Greek financial markets
for weeks, pushing the Athens
General Index to close at a 22-
year low of 485.18 points on Fri-
day. Since the beginning of 2010,
Greeks have suffered repeated in-
come cuts and tax hikes.

TORONTO Canada in-
troduced legislation Monday
to force striking Canadian Pa-
cific Railway workers back to
their jobs after talks stalled
over the weekend, the coun-
trys labor minister said Mon-
day.
Labor Minister Lisa Raitt
said the freight service shut-
down at Canadas second
largest railway is hurting the
economy.
Locomotive engineers and
conductors went on strike
Wednesday, shutting down
freight service along nearly
14,900 miles of track in Cana-
da and the U.S.
Raitt called Canadian Pacif-
ic Railway the backbone of the
countrys economy, and she
has said she would force
strikers back to work if neces-
sary.
The strike cant go on,
Raitt told Parliament. We
need to get the trains running
again.
The railway and the union
said mediated talks broke off
Sunday with little hope of re-
sumption.
The government intro-
duced the back-work-legisla-
tion on Monday. Raitt is hop-
ing strikers could be back to
work on Thursday.
Raitt noted that Canadian
Pacific Railway moves $50 bil-
lionworthof freight eachyear,
including more than half of
Canadas potash, wheat and
coal. The Mining Association
of Canada has expressed
grave concern about the
strikes impact.
Prime Minister Stephen
Harpers Conservative gov-
ernment has cited potential
economic damage in the past
for preventing or ending
strikes at Air Canada andCan-
ada Post.
Opposition parties said the
government is undermining
the right to collective bargain-
ing.
Major points of contention
in the latest strike are pen-
sions, certain work rules and
fatigue management.

PLAINS TWP. Shortly after Opening
Day on the Major League Baseball calen-
dar, Brian Strausman held an opening
day of his own at the Home Run Deli.
A lifelong baseball fan, Strausman de-
cided to employ the double-play combi-
nation of a sports theme and a deli when
deciding to take a swing at his first small-
business venture.
I love baseball, Strausman, of King-
ston, said. So when I was looking to
open the deli, this was a great way to tie
the two together.
Before the opening of the Home Run
Deli at 64 Maffett St. in Plains Township,
Strausman spent a number of years as an
assistant manager at a Baltimore-area
Foot Locker.
Following that, his next nearest man-
agerial experience came from coaching
his sons Little League games in addition
to seventh- and eighth-grade baseball at
Greater Nanticoke Area School District.
Still, Strausman felt he had enough
background to begin seeking out the ide-
al market.
I always enjoyed preparing food and
watching ballgames, it was just a matter
of finding the right location to do it for a
living, he said.
After some scouting, Strausman set-
tled on the Maffett Street location.
As he was preparing to open, Straus-
man said people from the neighborhood
came in to show their support.
They seemed very happy because
there really wasnt anything in the area
like this, he said.
The 40-year-old Strausman said he
chose to open the small business in part
because he always wanted to have a
sports-themed business, but he also
wanted to be able to spend more time
with his two sons.
In my previous professions I was al-
ways working on someone elses clock,
he said. I wanted to be in control of my
time and be with my family.
Open six days a week, the deli features
daily sandwich specials and a full menu,
along with enough memorabilia to make
any sports fan stop and stare.
Strausmansaidabout 90percent of the
memorabilia is his, including auto-
graphed jerseys, baseballs, helmets and
photographs.
The rest are on loan from friends and
colleagues.
Although Strausman admits the lack
of a paycheck every week may be diffi-
cult, he believes the deli is headed in the
right direction. I think itll be a big hit,
he said.
Deli aims to be a hit against hunger

Rain showers
look like they
will be in our
forecast for the
next couple days
as a cold front
makes its way to
our area. Today
will be cloudy
with rain show-
ers and possible
thunder. We will
see rain showers
early in the day
on Wednesday,
then skies will
turn partly
cloudy. Thursday
looks like it will
be dry and nice
with a high of 75.
Most of Friday
will be partly
cloudy, but rain
showers will
move in toward
the evening and
we may have
some thunder.
On Saturday, we
will have rain
showers with a
thunderstorm.
Sunday will bring
a mix of rain and
sun with cooler
temperatures.
The sun will
return Monday.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the eastern
Great Lakes today as a cold front pushes its way into the region. Strong to severe storms are also
possible in portions of Oklahoma. Tropical Depression Beryl will begin her slow turn towards the
Atlantic over the southern portions of Georgia.

Its not only possible, its probable

that a personalized program can
build individual brain strength,
says Dr. Gary Small, director of the
UCLA Longevity Center at the
universitys Semel Institute for
Neuroscience & Human Behavior.
His new book is "The Alzheimers
Prevention Program: Keep Your
Brain Healthy for the Rest of Your
Life."
Small shares some information
included in his new book:
Q: There are some 80 million baby
boomers starting to reach 65, and
studies show that right now, 1 in
every 2 people will develop some
sort of dementia by their 80s. That
means 40 million people! What can
be done?
A: We cant guarantee some of
these people wont get dementia,
because genetics are partially to
blame here. But the idea of the
book is to take care of what you
can and stave off symptoms as
long as possible.
A brain-healthy lifestyle should let
you stave off symptoms for at
least four or more years. The hard
part is to make those healthy
behaviors routine for people.
Q: Whats your plan?
A: First, educate people so they
understand the connections be-
tween good behavior and good
health. Next, introduce some brain
games that are easy, stimulating
and work! My seven-day jump start
program is not daunting. Its fun,
actually. And besides helping your
brain, you may lose a few pounds.
Q: Is this program for everyone?
A: It has two important compo-
nents: It will bolster brain health
and it will help you with age-relat-
ed cognitive decline. But it wont
do everything, of course.
If you want to get an assessment
of where you are, contact us at
UCLA. We can do an assessment.
Q: How quickly can I expect re-
sults?
A: If youve been sick and on your
back, when you feel better you
start physical therapy. And you
start at a lower level and train until
you get to the next level. With
memory exercises, you build up
gradually also.

Q: For the past few
weeks, whenever I
cough or sneeze, my
sides hurt a little. I
told my doctor and he
told me that it was
from a muscle strain
and to take two Advil
for relief. That helps, but the pain keeps
coming back. Is it anything to worry
about?
D.H., Allentown, Pa.
A: With a limited history, its tough to
know for sure whats causing your pain.
It certainly could be a muscle strain,
and if so, it should resolve soon. I dont
think its a rib fracture because the pain
is on both sides, theres no described
complaint of pain with breathing and
your pain is described as mild at its
worst. Pleurisy, an inflammation of the
lining of the lungs, would cause a lot of
pain with breathing- something you
didnt describe.
If your pain lingers beyond the sever-
al week healing time of a muscle strain,
Id suggest that you get a chest x-ray
just to be sure something isnt over-
looked. If your mild chest pain remains
elusive and persistent despite all tests
being normal, a visit to a chiropractor
might be the answer. You may have ribs
that are out of adjustment. Called
subluxation, it can happen following
a bout of persistent coughing or sneez-
ing, or simply twisting ones torso in an
odd way.
Q: I am taking Crestor, Lovaza and
Trilipix for a high cholesterol/high
triglyceride problem, but despite taking
three drugs and watching my fats like a
hawk, my LDL cholesterol is still above
160. Is there anything being worked on
by the drug companies that might work
better than what Im taking now?
K.N., Kissimmee, Fla.
A: As a matter of fact, there is a com-
pletely new method of treating high
cholesterol in development, especially
for folks like you who are already taking
cholesterol drugs and are still not to
goal. It involves a fully human mono-
clonal antibody injection twice a
month that binds (i.e., blocks) to a
specific enzyme in liver cells that
breaks down LDL (bad) cholesterol
receptors. LDL receptors are needed to
bind/collect LDL bad cholesterol
particles from the blood so that en-
zymes in the liver can break them
down. The more LDL receptors the
liver has, the more LDL cholesterol
particles are broken down. That results
in lowering the LDL cholesterol in the
bloodstream.
In Phase II investigational trials
involving 183 patients with an LDL
cholesterol above the target of 100
mg/dl despite an average of 7 years of
Lipitor statin therapy, LDL cholesterol
levels fell by up to 72 percent at 12
weeks and this is above and beyond
the LDL lowering effect from Lipitor.
The most effective dosing regimen
required one subcutaneous injection
(akin to an insulin injection) every two
weeks.

ACKENSACK, N.J.
Just in time for barbe-
cue season, heres a cau-
tionary tale from River Edge,
N.J.
Michael DeStefan thought he
had appendicitis when he went
to the emergency room on a
Monday afternoon earlier this
month. A pain in his belly had
grown so agonizing over the
weekend that he could barely
stand up.
But emergency-room doctors
didnt see an inflamed appendix
when they looked at a CT-scan
image of his abdomen.
Instead, lying outside the large
intestine was a thin, 1
1
2-inch-long
metallic object, said Dr. Sanjeev
Kaul, associate director of trauma
surgery at Hackensack University
Medical Center.
DeStefan, 54, told the surgeon
he hadnt swallowed a nail or a fish
hook or a paper clip all items
that Kaul asked him about. He
didnt know what it was, and nei-
ther did the doctor.
Whatever it was, it had to come
out. So Kaul performed emergen-
cy surgery, removing the foreign
body and repairing the hole it
made in DeStefans large intestine.
It was quite stiff, Kaul said of
the shiny gold-colored wire. Very
bizarre. I havent seen anything
like that.
The wire, it turned out, was a
bristle from the brush DeStefan
used to clean the barbecue grill.
DeStefans wife, Frances, solved
themystery. Whenshesteppedon-
totheir patiothemorningafter her
husbands surgery, her eyes lit up-
on the grill brush. All night, shed
been asking herself what Michael
had eaten, where, and whether
shed somehowcooked the offend-
ing piece of metal into his food.
She looked at the brushs alumi-
num bristles, she said, and real-
ized, This is it! I didnt do it!
The previous Wednesday, DeS-
tefan had thrown some meat on
the grill, he said, after returning
homefromthehospital andfeeling
better.
I was cooking shell steaks, as a
matter of fact with barbecue
sauce, he said.
He doesnt clean the grill before
he cooks, he explained he
cleans it afterward. When the
grills all hot, and I take the meat
off it, I take the brushandscrubit,
he said.
Abristle apparently hadstuckto
the grate and then became embed-
ded in the steak the next time he
used the grill.
New medical trend?
I dont know how I ate some-
thing like that without feeling it in
my mouth, he said. Not getting
MCT PHOTO
Michael DeStefan, River Edge, N.J., underwent emergency surgery to remove a metal object from his intestine. It was
later discovered to be a metal wire from a grill brush. Since then the brush has been replaced with a cleaning stone.

BALTIMOREAnestimated
3.5 million cancer patients
around the globe are in severe
pain from their disease, but
many get no relief.
In poor countries the cost is
considered too high for drugs
like morphine when such
opioids are often stolen, abused
or not taken according to in-
struction.
But some Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity scientists have been
working on a solution for those
patients, as well as some in the
United States, that uses a flexi-
ble button-sized disk implanted
under the skin that releases con-
sistent doses of painkiller over a
month. No pills, no measuring,
no trips to the clinic.
If anupcomingclinical trial for
safetygoes well, thedevicecould
be available next year, doctors
say. It also could be retooled to
treat other diseases and injury,
and maybe even some opioid ad-
dicts.
With all the problems, the
health officials (in developing
countries) wouldprefer to spend
money on antibiotics that cure
diseases, vaccines that prevent
diseases or children with a long
life ahead of them rather than
those withterminal cancer, said
Dr. Stuart A. Grossman, a Johns
Hopkins professor of oncology,
medicine and neurosurgery and
a pain management expert in
Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Com-
prehensive Cancer Center.
Grossman grew up overseas
but when he returned to India
and other poor countries as an
oncologist and worked in cancer
centers he saw how hard it was
for patients with cancer to get
opioid pain medications. He and
others began working on a solu-

Geisinger receives breast
cancer re-accreditation
The Frank M. and Dorothea
Henry Cancer Center at Geis-
inger Wyoming Valley Medical
Center recently received re-
newed accreditation for its
breast cancer program from
the National Accreditation
Program for Breast Centers.
In order to receive NAPBC
accreditation, a breast care
center must meet criteria in 27
standards in areas such as
leadership, clinical manage-
ment, research, community
outreach, professional educa-
tion and quality improvement.
Additionally, accredited cen-
ters must document compli-
ance with 17 components that
contribute to high-quality care.
Much of the criterion requires
breast treatment facilities to
have the capabilities to pro-
vide many of the latest, most
successful breast cancer treat-
ments and procedures.
Geisinger awarded AHAs
Mission: Lifeline award
Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center and the Ri-
chard and Marion Pearsall
Heart Hospital were recently
awarded the American Heart
Associations Mission: Life-
line Receiving Center
Bronze Level Recognition
Award.
Mission: Lifeline awards
medical centers for excelling
within AHA guidelines for
treatment of ST elevation
myocardial infarctions or heart
attacks.
Hospitals involved with
Mission: Lifeline strive to
improve care by developing
systems of care that increase
access to appropriate life-
saving therapies such as bal-
loon angioplasty, which re-
opens blocked arteries. One of
the most important criteria for
the award is how quickly hos-
pitals treat STEMI with bal-
loon angioplasty upon a pa-

Blaum Breast Care Specialist LLC held its grand opening on April
21 at New Bridge Center, 480 Pierce St., Kingston. Dr. Louis Blaum
Jr. is a breast surgeon and breast care specialist who recently
relocated his practice. Shown are Dr. Louis Blaum Jr. and his wife
Becky Blaum.
Blaum Breast Care Specialist holds grand opening
stuck in my throat, not putting a
hole in my stomach how it
got through my system. Its cra-
zy. Its absolutely nuts.
In fact, DeStefan is not the
first person to have such an ex-
perience.
Earlier this year, four Rhode
Island radiologists published a
report in the journal of the
AmericanRoentgenRay Society
about six emergency patients
theyd seen with the same prob-
lemover an18-month period. In
three, the wire caught in the
BRUSH
Maybe Ill save just one person. I dont want
anyone to go through what I went through.
Michael DeStefan
Who underwent emergency surgery to remove
a metal wire from a grill brush from his intestine
throat, and in three it got as far
as the stomach and intestines.
Each patient arrived at the
emergency room within 24
hours of eating grilled food.
Doctors should consider this
possibility whenever patients
present with acute pain after in-
gestion of grilled food, the ra-
diologists wrote.
Kaul, the Hackensack sur-
geon, said he didnt ask the pa-
tient, Have you recently been
cleaning your grill? But next
time, I will.
DeStefan, Kaul added, is
lucky to be alive. You can die
fromthis, he said. The wire per-
forated DeStefans intestine and
the leakage had already started
an infection. Left untreated, it
could have been fatal.
DeStefan, who owns a South
Hackensack printing business,
knows he may be in for ribbing
after telling his story. But may-
be Ill save just one person, he
said. I dont want anyone to go
through what I went through.
Hes already grilled a meal
since coming home from the
hospital.
I did have a steak, he said.
And I will tell you I cut it into
really little pieces and inspected
every mouthful before I put it in
my mouth.
Then he scrubbed the grill
with the new cleaning stone his
wife bought to replace the
brush.
tion about 15 years ago. They
came up with something that
works a little like Norplant, the
rods inserted under the skin that
release contraceptives over
weeks.
Only this round, plastic disk
just over a centimeter wide de-
livers hydromorphone, a more
potent form of morphine,
through a channel in its center.
The rest of the device is sealedto
prevent an initial burst of the
drug that could kill a patient.
The disk could be made wider
to deliver drugs longer, or thick-
er to deliver higher doses. It
eventually could deliver a differ-
ent drug or be used by veterin-
arians on animals. But for now,
thescientists arefocusingonone
device for cancer patients that
would cost about $50 a month,
or about the same as the bill for
relatively cheap morphine pills.
With Hopkins blessing,
Grossman patented the device
and formed a company called
Axxia. Dr. Suzanne A. Nesbit, a
clinical pharmacy specialist in
painmanagement anda research
associate in the Hopkins oncolo-
gy department, will run the clin-
ical trial, whichwas delayeda bit
when the maker of the plastic
they preferred decided to stick
to producing the soles of shoes.
Theyre working with a new
plastic that already is approved
for medical implants by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration
but requires some fine tuning.
The clinical trial for the disk
will be conducted in the Philip-
pines, Singapore and East Balti-
more, where Hopkins has a pres-
ence.
Grossman said a U.S. manu-
facturer would make the drug
device and Axxia will rely on
pharmaceutical companies
around the world to distribute it
and train doctors unaccustomed
to assessing pain, dosing and
monitoring patients.
Some of those who treat pain
and addiction believe the disk
would serve some populations
well and look forward to having
another tool for tricky patients,
though they also see some chal-
lenges.
There are an estimated five
million Americans on opioid
therapyfor pain, or 2.5percent of
the population, though most
take a short-acting, low-dose Vi-
codin or similar pill and not ev-
ery day, said Dr. Nathaniel Katz,
the director of the nonprofit Pro-
gram on Opioid Risk Manage-
ment at the Tufts HealthCare In-
stitute.
Opioids dont work well ma-
naging everyones pain, and
about 5 percent of people who
take them become addicted to
the medications. Others dont
stick to their regimen, said Katz,
who is also the CEO of a pain-
drug development company
called Analgesic Solutions.
There may be a role for Gross-
mans pain disk in addicts and
those who dont followtheir pre-
scriptions, he said.
There are people out there
who would benefit from having
something in their body releas-
ing drugs at all times that
doesnt involve the patient and
cant be changed by them, he
said. These are people who you
fear might overdose if you give
them pills, or there is an abuser
in the household, or the person
has mental illness like PTSD, or
Parkinsons disease.
Many dont have consistent
pain, and it would be better if
they could change their dosage
as needed, Katz said. But when
thats not possible, some relief is
better than none, Katz added.
The disk, he said, may not
solve all illicit use of the drug.
Even though they are meant to
beimplantedbya doctor, addicts
are crafty and will find ways to
acquire them, melt them down
and ingest them, said Katz, add-
ing many such recipes end up on
Internet.
Some addicts have been
known to eat pain patches even
though that can be fatal, Katz
said.
The disks could only be used
to treat addiction if they deliver-
ed a different drug than hydro-
morphone because that drug is
not approved by the FDA for
treating addiction, only for pain,
he said. Only methadone andbu-
prenorphine currently have that
stamp from the FDA.
Maryland joined dozens of
other states this year in creating
a database to track filled pre-
scriptions sodoctors knowwhen
someone may be shopping for
extradrugs, but thesystemis not
yet up and running.
The trend is likely to continue
until doctors stop prescribing so
many addictive drugs, said Fin-
gerhood, who treats addicts.
He said addicts still often have
pain, but the pain becomes diffi-
cult to treat because they cant
be handed more pills. This is
where Dr. Grossmans disk may
come in.
Not for treating the addiction
there already is a similar rod
implant developed by Titan
Pharmaceuticals Inc. awaiting
FDA approval that contains bu-
prenorphine for that purpose.
But to treat the pain, said Finger-
hood, who also is the director of
the division of chemical depend-
ence at Hopkins Bayview Medi-
cal Center.
Its agreat optionfor pain, he
said. Its treated poorly now in
this population because they
cant take traditional pills. ... And
I think implants are going to be
the wave of the future with other
medications as well.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am
a retired New York
City police officer
and a resource officer
at two high schools
in Brooklyn. I must
comment on the let-
ter you printed from
Worried About My Boy in Tulsa
(March 29), whose 7-year-old is
bullied. If a child hits another child
so hard that medical attention is
required, it is an assault. The police
should have been notified and appro-
priate law enforcement action taken.
The school then has cause to re-
move the violent child and have him/
her placed in an education program
better suited for violent children. The
statute of limitations is not out, so
the police can still be contacted as
soon as possible by this parent.
Jim C.
Dear Jim: Many readers pointed out
that this incident went beyond bully-
ing into assault, and offered advice to
Worried on this troubling but preva-
lent issue. Their comments:
Dear Abby: If Worrieds son is
injured at school again, she needs to
take him to an emergency room and
have the injuries documented. While
there, she should call 911 and report
the assault to the police. She should
start the report with this sentence:
Id like to report an assault on my
child. If she says he is being bul-
lied, they may not take her as
seriously.
Concerned Gran in Oklahoma
Dear Abby: I am an attorney practic-
ing law in California and have been
involved in several bullying cases.
The first step should be to ensure the
childs safety. If the perpetrators are
not being removed from the environ-
ment, the child needs to be. The cost
of private schooling or the inconve-
nience of a school transfer would be
part of a lawsuit for damages.
Second, the police should be noti-
fied. Third, they should get a lawyer
who knows how to put the school on
notice.
A lawsuit in this case is warranted
if the school has known about the bul-
lying but has done nothing about it.
Mike in Newport Beach
Dear Abby: My son was bullied in
elementary school. I spoke at length
to his teachers and found out that he
was exhibiting behaviors that trig-
gered the bullying. He simply did not
know how to interact with his peers.
It wasnt my sons fault; he needed
help with social skills.
It took several tries to find a coun-
selor who connected a wonderful
man who taught him how to be a
friend. The bullying stopped. Now my
son is graduating from high school
with many good friends.
Kids can be cruel. They smell
weakness and pick on those who are
different. Sometimes the best we can
do is help our children learn how to
draw others to them, rather than be
singled out as a victim or undesirable
member of the team.
Been There in Charleston, W.Va.
Dear Abby: Please tell Worried in
Tulsa to call all of her local TV sta-
tions and ask for an interview. That
will probably get some action.
Lou Ann W.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Bullied boys injuries should trigger police involvement immediately
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus

447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Mystery
and intrigue will pull you for-
ward. Youre curious by nature,
and one clue leads to another.
You may not solve this one, but
youll learn something valuable
as you try.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
have managed well in some
respect and will do well to
remind yourself. Travel back in
time to connect your awareness
of the past you with the pres-
ent, and apply what experience
has taught you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A sense
of humor is such a valuable
asset that youll choose your
friends and alliances today
based on their potential to make
you laugh and feel lighthearted
and happy.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Problems tend to clump
together. To sort out a mess,
isolate a problem from the
other problems around it. By fix-
ing one thing, you just might fix
everything.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Part of stay-
ing relevant is being proactive.
Youll sharpen your skills, even
when theres no apparent need
of it. When the time comes, youll
be ready.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
loved ones know that you love
them even when they make the
wrong decisions. You may have
to show this kind of love again
today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll find
it easy to be true to yourself,
to honor your preferences and
to speak up when things arent
going in a direction thats com-
fortable to you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
expect quite a lot of yourself
now. You can appreciate the per-
spective that a laid-back person
brings to things as long as that
person isnt so laid back that he
needs to be propped up.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Segment your life so you can
focus on one important task at
a time. Concentrate exclusively
on what youre doing, and put
everything else on the other side
of an imaginary wall.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
can count on yourself. Youre
tougher and more resilient than
you were, and youre getting bet-
ter all the time. The trials youve
taken on keep you strong.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
want to get to a certain feeling.
Being aware of what that feeling
is will help you seek out the spe-
cific situation that will help you
harness that emotion.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The
reason youre given so much
work is that someone trusts you
to get the job done. So instead of
feeling put-upon or overloaded,
you can be proud of the high
level of faith that others have in
you.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 29).
Theres a revolution starting
inside of you. You question
things that have been ingrained
in your behavior and thoughts
for years. The new you finds
more to be excited about, and
motivation will be high through-
out the year. Youll form an alli-
ance or sign a contract in July.
Libra and Taurus people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 6,
3, 44, 18 and 20.
