The future of transpor-
tation funding includ-
ing more than $80 million
in road and bridge proj-
ects for Luzerne County
hung in the balance
Monday as state House
Republicans wrangled
over amendments to pare
down a $2.5 billion annu-
al plan passed by their
Senate counterparts.
The House
Transportation Committee
was scheduled to vote on
the amendment at a meet-
ing Monday morning, but
its chairman, Dick Hess,
R-Bedford, called for a
last-minute recess to per-
mit changes.
The $2.5 billion Senate
Bill 1 passed the upper
house by a 45-5 bipartisan
vote on June 5.
In addition to differ-
ences over how much
to funnel into highway
work, legislators also
have been grappling with
how to fund the states
mass transit systems,
from large metropolitan
networks in Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh to smaller
local bus operations such
as the Luzerne County
Transportation Authority.
If the Hess amend-
ment does get through,
it will hurt us. It will
hurt every transit system
in Pennsylvania, said
Stanley Strelish, executive
director of the Luzerne
County Transportation
Authority.
That is because House
Republicans, notably
including Hess, have

Former Mellow
stafer ofers turnpike
case testimony
HARRISBURG The
Senate Democrats chief
of staff testied Monday
that caucus leaders relied
on Pennsylvania Turnpike
Commission ofcials for
campaign donations fro-
magency vendors and for
patronage jobs.
Anthony Lepore
said he conveyed
requests from
former Senate
D e m o c r a t i c
Leader Bob
Mellow and ex-
Senate power
broker Vincent
Fumo to ex-Turn-
pike CEO Joe Brimmeier
and Turnpike Chairman
Mitch Rubin.
Lepore described him-
self as an intermediary
between Mellow and
Fumo, between whom
there was no love lost.
Rubin was Vince Fumos
guy, he said.
Brimmeier, 65, and
Rubin, 61, are among
six defendants at a pre-
liminary hearing before
District Justice William
Wenner. Eight Turnpike
defendants face political
corruption charges led
by the state Attorney
Generals Ofce.
Attorney General
Kathleen Kane, speaking
to the Pennsylvania Press
Club, said her ofce led
charges against eight
ofcials who were using
the Turnpike to line their
pockets and inuence
elections. The Turnpike
is no longer a piggybank
used to fund greed and
promote corruption.
The Senate maintained
a very close rela-
tionship with the
Turnpike, whose
members the gov-
ernor nominates
and the Senate
conrms, Lepore
said.
Though sena-
tors relied on the
Turnpike for jobs such as
toll takers, Mellow, who
had a close friendship
with a PNC bank ofcial,
wanted the Turnpike to
use PNC Capital Markets
for bond work, Lepore
said.
Mellow and Pete
Danchak, a PNC execu-
tive from Mellows dis-
trict, were tight, Lepore
said. Lepore approached
Brimmeier and Rubin
to help arrange work for
PNC, he said.

WILKES-BARRE The U.S. Attorneys
Ofce has asked the U.S. Department of
Labor to look into the use of debit cards to
pay employees to determine if federal action
is appropriate.
At this point it is too soon to tell what
specic action, if any, there would be, said
Heidi Havens, department spokeswoman.
The action was sparked by a lawsuit led
against the owners of a local McDonalds
who paid an employee, Natalie Gunshannon,
a 27-year-old single mother with a debit
card, with bank fees that allegedly include
$1 to check her balance, $1.50 to withdraw
cash, and $15 to replace a lost card. Attorney
Michael Cefalo of West Pittston is represent-
ing Gunshannon in the class-action suit.
Havens would not comment on specical-
ly what the DOJ has asked the labor depart-
ment to look into.
Gunshannon, who believes she was paid
$7.44 per hour, said she refused to access
the debit card because the fee deductions
could bring her hourly rate below the feder-
ally-mandated $7.25 per hour.

Thanks to an anonymous donor who
won a $500 shopping spree at Wegmans,
Ruths Place homeless shelter for women
in Wilkes-Barre was the recipient of this
charitable donation.
During a three-minute blitz through the
aisles, Ruths Place Case Manager Jackie
Tona and a team of helpers loaded three
shopping carts with items totaling $637.92.
Dave Grossi, Wegmans store manager, said
the difference will be picked up by the
store.
The carts were lled with laundry deter-
gents, cleaning supplies, paper products,
plastic bags, coffee, milk, ibuprofen, and
pain relief products.
Kristen Topolski, executive director at
Ruths Place, thanked the donor, United
Way, and Wegmans and said the products
will help tremendously.
Typically someone might go for the
meats or other foods, she said. We need
these items to operate our center.
Topolski said Ruths place has been at full
capacity 21 residents for months.
As soon as a bed opens, we have some-
one to ll it, she said.
Tona, 29, from Exeter, said she prepared
a list of items the women at the center
need.
I got everything on my list, she said. I
shop here, so I know where everything is.
So why all the ibuprofen and pain relief
items?
We have 21 women at the center, she
said. Thats a lot of headaches, cramps,
and aches and pains. Some of it is for the
staff as well. It can get pretty hectic there.

JOHANNESBURG South Africas
president on Monday said a critically
ill Nelson Mandela was asleep when
he visited the 94-year-old at the hospi-
tal, and he urged the country to pray for
Mandela, describing him as the father
of democracy who made extraordinary
sacrices on behalf of his people.
President Jacob Zuma told dozens of
foreign and South African journalists
that doctors are doing everything pos-
sible to help the former president feel
comfortable on his 17th day in a Pretoria
hospital, but refused to give details of
Mandelas condition, saying: Im not a
doctor. The brieng came a day after
the government said Mandelas condi-
tion had deteriorated and was now criti-
cal.
Mondays press gathering highlighted
the tension between the governments
reluctance to share more information
about Mandela on the basis of doctor-
patient condentiality, and media
appeals for thorough updates on a g-
ure of global interest. The governments
belated acknowledgement that an ambu-
lance carrying Mandela to the hospital
on June 8 broke down has fueled the
debate about transparency versus the
right to privacy.
Zumas brieng was also an indica-
tor of the extent to which reports on
Mandelas health sometimes overshadow
the business of the state. Under ques-
tioning, Zuma said President Barack
Obama would go ahead with a visit to
South Africa, despite concerns about
Mandelas health.
President Obama is visiting South
Africa, Zuma said. I dont think you
stop a visit because somebodys sick.
Obama, who arrives in Africa this
week, will visit Senegal, South Africa
and Tanzania.
Zuma, who in the past has given an
overly sunny view of Mandelas health,
briey spoke of his visit Sunday night
to Mandela in the hospital in the capital.
That visit was mentioned in a presiden-
tial statement on the same night that
said Mandela, previously described as
being in serious but stable condition,
had lapsed into critical condition within
the previous 24 hours.
It was late, he was already asleep,
Zuma said. And we then had a bit of a
discussion with the doctors as well as his
wife, Graca Machel, and we left.
The president said South Africans
should accept that Mandela is old, and
he urged people to pray for their former
leader.
Madiba is critical in the hospital, and
this is the father of democracy. This is
the man who fought and sacriced his
life to stay in prison, the longest-serving
prisoner in South Africa, Zuma said,
using Mandelas clan name.
Mandela, who became South Africas
rst black president after the end of
apartheid in 1994, was hospitalized for
what the government said was a recur-
ring lung infection. This is his fourth
hospitalization since December.

Nuangola sewer project nearing completion
Tom Huntington
Times Leader Correspondent
NUANGOLA The majority of the
boroughs sewer project should be com-
plete by Aug. 15, Dan Loughran, project
engineer, reported on Monday night to
the Nuangola Borough Sewer Authority.
But Loughran was told the contrac-
tors have created problems that Council
President John Kochan said have peo-
ple very angry.
Kochan said roadways have been
altered to the detriment of property
owners who have been experiencing
surface water runoff problems. Kochan
said residents of Willow Grove Avenue,
Rock Island Avenue, and Lake Avenue
have contacted him to complain. It was
at Lake Avenue that Kochan said he met
with angry residents.
In addition, there is a situation at
the home of Damon Starkey Sr. at 44
Vandermark Avenue.
Kochan said the contractor created a
situation whereby water and sewage are
entering the basement.
Loughran, of the Quad3 Group of
Wilkes-Barre, said he was aware of the
situation and his initial probe seems to
absolve the contractor. But, Loughran
said he would investigate further.
Overall, however, Kochan proposed
a meeting to discuss grievances and
on-site inspections be conducted with
the engineer and ofcials of the Wexcon
Company, the contractor installing
piping and grinder pumps in the
borough.
In addition, Dan Meshinski of
Nuangola Ave. contends the contractor
has been operating out of the right-of-
way on his property and is inicting
needless damage to trees on his land.
Meshinski asked Loughran that a
moratorium be declared on further work,
at least until Friday.
Meshinski said he will be available
then to outline his grievances in person.
Besides, presenting citizen
complaints, Kochan also disclosed
councils concurrence to the payment
by the authority of $75,256 to settle
an outstanding loan that dates back to
2005.
In other news: A dispute with Steve
Boyer of Nuangola Ave over a property
lease for land utilized as a staging area
was resolved to Boyers satisfaction.

mailed to borough residents outlining

West Side Career Tech approves computer agreement
Sweeping immigration bill clears Senate test
WASHINGTON A sweeping immigration bill
gained the lopsided Senate majority that support-
ers hope will pressure reluctant House Republicans,
clearing a key test vote Monday and moving along an
all-but-certain path to passage in the Senate later this
week.
The 67-27 tally, with 15 Republicans joining all the
Democrats who voted, largely validated the strategy
set by Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., one of the
bills chief architects, who had sought to reach out to
Republicans at the cost of sidetracking some liberal
priorities.
But the vote also showed how divided Republicans
remain on the issue, with opponents sharply criticiz-
ing those in their party who have sided with the immi-
gration overhaul effort.
Many Republicans in Congress have hesitated
to support a bill that critics in their party deride as
amnesty for the 11 million immigrants living in the
U.S. without legal status. Others believe the party
must back immigration changes to x a dysfunctional
system and to avoid alienating the countrys fast-grow-
ing Latino population.
To win over reluctant Republicans, Schumer and
other backers of the bill accepted a revision that would
spend $46 billion to improve security on the border
with Mexico. Some immigrant advocates and liberal
groups decried that as unnecessary spending that
would militarize the border.
A top Democrat, Judiciary Committee Chairman
Sen. Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, said the border build-
up reads like a Christmas wish list for Halliburton.
Defense contractors, he added late last week, were
surely high-ving at the prospect of all the spending.
Mondays vote was on a motion to end debate on the
revised bill and cleared the way for nal passage later
this week, possibly after a few more amendments are
considered.
Several senators missed Mondays vote because they
were traveling back to Washington. In the end, the bill
seems likely to gain the 70-vote majority that Schumer
and others had been aiming for.
While many Republicans hailed the border security
plan as a key improvement, others denounced it as a
fraud. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a chief opponent of the
immigration bill, said the measure was a g leaf that
would not provide security on the Mexican border but
would allow Republican senators to tell gullible con-
stituents that we have done something.
Six-term Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, argued
that the chamber was poised to repeat the mistakes
of the last major immigration overhaul in 1986, when
President Ronald Reagan signed legislation that grant-
ed amnesty to those in the country without legal sta-
tus.
I know rsthand that we screwed up, and I was cer-
tain that other members in this body could learn from
our mistakes, Grassley said.
The bills prospects in the House are uncertain.
Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, says he thinks it is
critical for the party to act on immigration to appeal to
Latino and minority voters before the 2016 presiden-
tial election.
However, rank-and-le Republicans in the House
have shown little interest in providing immigrants
who are in the country illegally with a way to become
citizens.
President Barack Obama met with business leaders
at the White House Monday as he pressed for the bill,
his top second-term priority.
All of us, I think, recognize that now is the time to
get comprehensive immigration reform done one
that involves having very strong border security; that
makes sure that were holding employers accountable
to follow the rules; one that provides earned citizen-
ship for those 11 million, Obama said. Its not a bill
that represents everything that I would like to see; it
represents a compromise.
Under the bill, immigrants would follow a 10-year
process to gain permanent legal status with green
cards. After 13 years, they could become citizens.
But before they could get legal status, ve condi-
tions would have to be met: hiring nearly 20,000 more
Border Patrol ofcers, completing 700 miles of border
fence, implementing a way for employers to verify
the legal status of new hires, installing a system at all
major airports to help track expired visas, and bolster-
ing the resources of the Border Patrol, including new
technology.
That so-called border surge, proposed by Sens.
Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and John Hoeven, R-N.D.,
would dramatically change life in U.S. communities
near Mexico, adding 24-hour unarmed drone aircraft
patrols and doubling the number of Border Patrol of-
cers all paid for with new taxes on immigrants and
their employers.
Critics have said lawmakers are simply throwing
money at the problem of illegal crossings at a time of
budget austerity, noting that 40 percent of the immi-
grants in the country without legal status did not cross
the southern border but entered on legal visas that
have since expired.
The bill would also expand the exit-visa tracking
system to all major U.S. airports as a way to identify
immigrants who stay after their visas have expired. To
curb illegal immigration, the bill would add new guest
worker programs, including for agricultural work-
ers and low-skill maids and landscapers, and require
employers to verify the legal status of all new hires.
In addition to the border plan, drafters of the bill
incorporated several dozen other amendments aimed
at winning the votes of specic senators.
A Leahy measure would waive visa fees and expe-
dite processing for applicants with extraordinary abil-
ity in the arts or extraordinary achievement in motion
picture or television production.
Tax measures proposed by Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah,
include one that would prevent immigrants who have
been paying into Social Security under false identica-
tion from drawing those benets at retirement.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, got her measure ensur-
ing that grants for police departments would be given
to communities on the northern border as well as the
southern one.
The two Alaska senators, Democrat Mark Begich
and Republican Lisa Murkowski, pushed to expand
the number of foreign visas for their states seafood
processing industry.
After objecting that the bill would allow an inux
of foreign workers even as the nations unemployment
rate remains high, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., had his
proposal for a $1.5-billion youth jobs program includ-
ed.
Earlier versions of the bill included similar specialty
provisions.
One, introduced by Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo.,
one of the bills original authors, would have lifted
the cap on the number of visas for ski and snowboard
instructors.
Another original author, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla.,
won a provision that would allow specialized foreign
mechanics for cruise ships to qualify for 90-day work
permits. Rubio, from hurricane-vulnerable Florida,
also inserted a measure that would allow foreigners to
apply for 90-day work permits to repair damage after
major disasters.
Trying to secure provisions that meet state interests
is hardly new behavior, said Angela Kelley, an immi-
gration expert at the Center for American Progress, a
liberal think tank in Washington.
Having a big bipartisan vote on a tough issue like
immigration that is new, she said. Now my hope
is they will continue their enthusiasm for the issue
once it has cleared their chamber and send a message
to their brethren in the House that they need to do the
same thing.

the entire staff and all connected with
the arena are honored by the ranking.
Were very blessed to work with
so many ne promoters, she said.
Thats why we get to provide so
many great shows. We have a tremen-
dous following for our family events.
According to Stephen Poremba,
director of marketing at the arena,
the rankings were determined by total
gross dollars for events concerts
and family shows only held at the
arena between Oct. 16 and May 15.
Poremba said during that peri-
od Mohegan Sun Arena hosted 43
events, including Rascal Flatts, Trans-

It just goes to show that entertain-
ment is important to Northeastern

all ages in the region.
The Mohegan Sun Arena is owned
by the Luzerne County Convention
Center Authority, a government body
appointed by Luzerne County. The
arena is managed by SMG, a recog-
nized leader in entertainment and
sports facilities management.
The arena opened on Nov. 13, 1999,
and it has a seating capacity of 8,300.
Originally called the Northeastern
Pennsylvania Civic Arena, the facility
became First Union Arena at Casey
Plaza when First Union bank pur-
chased the naming rights.
The name changed to Wachovia
Arena at Casey Plaza in 2002 after
a corporate merger. In January of
2010, Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs
purchased the naming rights, and
changed the venue name to Mohegan
Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.
The arena has played host to some
of the biggest names in entertain-
ment, including Elton John, Cher, Neil
Diamond, Janet Jackson, The Eagles,
AC/DC, and Simon & Garfunkel.

Berwick woman gets 14-28 years
for setting Conyngham blaze
SHeenADeLAZiO
sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE A
Berwick woman convicted
of torching a Conyngham
building complex in
September 2010 was sen-
tenced Monday to 14 to 28
years in state prison.
Gail Schneider, 44, was
sentenced on seven related
charges stemming from the
re that caused $1.3 million
in damage.
Im glad its over,
95-year-oldre victimNellie
Stratts said after learning
Schneiders sentence. Its
(a horrible) thing that hap-
pened to all of us.
According to court
papers, Valley Regional
Fire and Rescue responded
to the two-story Lantern
Lane complex at 314-316
S. Main St. just after 2:30
a.m. after a neighbor called 911 on Sept. 5.
The building encompasses four businesses on the rst oor and
four apartments on the second, owner Kenneth Temborski testied
during Schneiders April jury trial.
Fireghters and neighbors helped second-oor tenants Barbara
Reese, also 95, and Stratts escape. Several people were treated at
the scene for smoke inhalation. One tenant was taken to Hazleton
General Hospital for treatment.
Two reghters suffered minor injuries, state police Cpl. Shawn
A. Hilbert said.
Other displaced second-oor apartment tenants were Jeffrey
Antolick and Nicole Buak.
A re scene examination determined the blaze originated at the
top of the rear stairway leading to the second-oor apartments,
where a chair was ignited.
Police learned Schneider, who lived in an apartment at the build-
ing in September 2009, had been cited with disorderly conduct and
had been evicted. She had led a civil complaint against Temborski,
police said, for the return of a $790 security deposit. A district judge
ruled in favor of Temborski in December 2009.
Police later searched a computer belonging to Schneider, on which
they found searches for specic re investigation information about
lighter uid and how to blow up a car.
Schneider said Monday she expressed sympathy that so much
damage was done and that she hoped Lupas would have some mercy
in sentencing her because she had no prior record and suffers from
a blood disease.
I wish that none of this ever happened, Schneider told Lupas.
I feel extreme relief and happiness for the victims and law
enforcement involved, Assistant District Attorney Shannon Crake
said, who prosecuted the case. This is a serious case that will leave
scars on the victims (they) lost their sense of security.
Schneider will be required to pay over $1.29 million in restitution
to insurance companies.
Trooper James Surmick said Monday that Schneiders actions
were vindictive, spiteful, and violent.
Conyngham re chief Richard Bognar said, in his 30 years of
being a reghter, the September 2010 blaze is the worst hes seen.
Its an act of God that we got home that night, he said.
Temborski said Monday that there are no winners at the end of the
day, only justice served.
Now, we can have some closure, Temborski said.
Buak told the judge she suffers from Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder because of the re.
(Schneiders sentence) is better than I expected, Buak said.
Now, I can move on.

I Am Legend author
Richard Matheson dies
LOS ANGELES
Richard Matheson, the pro-
lic sci- and fantasy writer
whose I Am Legend and
The Shrinking Man were
transformed into lms, has
died. He was 87.
A spokesman for the
Academy of Science
Fiction, Fantasy and Horror
Films said Matheson died
Sunday in Los Angeles. No
other details were provided.
With a career span-
ning more than 60 years,
Matheson crafted stories
that deftly transitioned from
the page to both the big
and small screens. Several
of his works were adapted
into lms, including 1953s
Hell House, 1956s The
Shrinking Man, 1958s A
Stir of Echoes and 1978s
What Dreams May Come.
Mathesons 1954 sci-
vampire novel I Am
Legend inspired three
different lm adaptations:
1964s The Last Man on
Earth starring Vincent
Price, 1971s Omega Man
starring Charlton Heston
and 2007s I Am Legend
starring Will Smith.
Matheson was also
responsible for writing
several episodes of The
Twilight Zone, as well as
editions of The Alfred
Hitchcock Hour, Rod
Serlings Night Gallery,
The Martian Chronicles
and Amazing Stories.
His Twilight Zone install-
ments included Nightmare
at 20,000 Feet, which fea-
tured William Shatner as
an airplane passenger who
spots a creature on a planes
wing, as well as Steel,
which inspired the 2011
lm Real Steel.

Texas House
approves
abortion
restrictions
dave Montgomery
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
AUSTIN, Texas The
Texas House on Monday
voted 95-34 to give nal
approval to a package
of abortion restrictions
backed by the Republican
leadership, sending the
hot-button measure head-
ing toward a potential li-
buster in the Senate in the
nal hours of the special
session.
The action followed an
all-night session in which
House members gave pre-
liminary approval about
3:15 a.m., prompting an
angry backlash among hun-
dreds of abortion-rights
activists who descended on
the State Capitol to protest
the measure.
In a nal round of
speeches before the nal
vote, Democrats reasserted
their contention that the
bills would seriously reduce
access to abortion clinics
for thousands of women.
They also charged that the
measures were engineered
by the GOP majority to
appeal to Republican pri-
mary voters.
What this bill is about,
always has been, and
always will be, is politi-
cal posturing, said Rep.
Chris Turner, D-Grand
Prairie, the No. 2 member
of House Democrats lead-
ership team. Its about
partisan politics. Its about
Republican primaries. And
thats a shame.
But RepublicanRep. Greg
Bonnen, a Friendswood
physician, said the measure
is aimed at requiring abor-
tion clinics to meet higher
standards after reports
of abortion atrocities at
clinics in Philadelphia and
Houston.
This is truly about
patient safety, he said.
Anyone who says the cur-
rent status quo is satisfac-
tory is not paying atten-
tion.
Following the prelimi-
nary vote, angry shouts of
boo and shame rained
down from a gallery packed
predominately by abortion-
rights supporters. House
Democrats offered a series
of unsuccessful amend-
ments and attempted to
slow down the bill as the
Legislatures Republican
majority seeks to push
through the measure before
Tuesdays adjournment.
House members also
gave nal approval to leg-
islation creating a new sen-
tencing option for 17-year-
old defendants in capital
felony cases. And they gave
preliminary approval to a
proposed constitutional
amendment authorizing
funding for transportation
construction.
The prospect of yet
another legislative over-
time emerged Sunday as
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst,
the Senates presiding of-
cer, told reporters that Gov.
Rick Perry is preparing to
call a second special ses-
sion after the current one.
Unless Im misread-
ing him, we will be
called back, the Quorum
Report quoted Dewhurst as
saying.
WASHINGTON Afrmative
action in college admissions survived
Supreme Court review Monday in a
consensus decision that avoided the
difcult constitutional issues sur-
rounding a challenge to the University
of Texas admission plan.
Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote
the courts 7-1 ruling that said a court
should approve the use of race as
a factor in admissions only after it
concludes that no workable race-
neutral alternatives would produce the
educational benets of diversity.
But the decision did not question the
underpinnings of afrmative action,
which the high court last reafrmed
in 2003.
The justices said the federal appeals
court in New Orleans did not apply
the highest level of judicial scrutiny
when it upheld the Texas plan, which
uses race as one among many factors
in admitting about a quarter of the
universitys incoming freshmen. The
school gives the bulk of the slots to
Texans who are admitted based on
their high school class rank, without
regard to race.
The high court ordered the appeals
court to take another look at the case
of Abigail Fisher, a white Texan who
was not offered a spot at the univer-
sitys agship Austin campus in 2008.
Fisher has since received her under-
graduate degree from Louisiana State
University.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was
the lone dissenter.
In my view, the courts below
adhered to this courts pathmarking
decisions and there is no need for a
second look, Ginsburg said in a dis-
sent she read aloud.
Justice Clarence Thomas, alone on
the court, said he would have over-
turned the high courts 2003 ruling,
though he went along with yesterdays
outcome.
Justice Elena Kagan stayed out of
the case, presumably because she
had some contact with it at an earlier
stage when she worked in the Justice
Department.
Kennedy said that courts must
determine that the use of race is
necessary to achieve the educational
benets of diversity, the Supreme
Courts standard for afrmative action
in education since 1978. The high
court most recently reafrmed the
constitutionality of afrmative action
in Grutter v. Bollinger in 2003, a case
involving the University of Michigan.
As the Court said in Grutter, it
remains at all times the universitys
obligation to demonstrate, and the
judiciarys obligation to determine,
that admissions processes ensure
that each applicant is evaluated as an
individual and not in a way that makes
an applicants race or ethnicity the
dening feature of his or her applica-
tion, Kennedy said.
University of Texas president Bill
Powers said the university plans no
immediate changes in its admissions
policies as a result of Mondays ruling
and will continue to defend them in
the courts.
We remain committed to
assembling a student body at the
University of Texas at Austin that
provides the educational benets of
diversity on campus while respect-
ing the rights of all students and
acting within the constitutional
framework established by the court,
Powers said.
But Edward Blum, who helped
engineer Fishers challenge, said it is
unlikely that the Texas plan and many
other college plans can long survive.
MILAN A Milan court
on Monday convicted for-
mer Italian Premier Silvio
Berlusconi of paying for sex
with an underage prostitute
during infamous bunga
bunga parties at his villa and
then using his inuence to try
to cover it up.
Berlusconi, 76, was sen-
tenced to seven years in pris-
on and barred from public
ofce for life a sentence
that could mean the end of his
two-decade political career.
However, there are two more
levels of appeal before the sen-
tence would become nal, a
process that can take months.
Berlusconi holds no ofcial
post in the current Italian gov-
ernment, but remains inuen-
tial in the uneasy cross-party
coalition that emerged after
inconclusive February elec-
tions.
Both he and the Moroccan
woman at the center of the
scandal have denied ever hav-
ing sex.
His lawyer, Niccolo Ghedini,
immediately announced an
appeal and said the sentence
was as expected as it was
unjust.
This is beyond reality,
Ghedini told reporters outside
the courthouse. The sentence
was even stiffer than the six-
year prison term and lifetime
ban on public ofce that pros-
ecutors had originally request-
ed.
Im calm because Ive been
saying for three years that this
trial should never have taken
place here, Ghedini said.
The charges against the bil-
lionaire media mogul stem
from the bunga bunga par-
ties in 2010 at his mansion
near Milan, where he wined
and dined beautiful young
women while he was premier.
He says the dinner parties
were elegant soirees; prosecu-
tors say they were sex-fueled
parties that women were paid
to attend.
Neither Berlusconi nor the
woman at the center of the
case, Karima el-Mahroug, bet-
ter known by her nickname
Ruby, have testied in this
trial. El-Mahroug was called
by the defense but failed to
show on a couple of occasions,
delaying the trial. Berlusconis
team eventually dropped her
from the witness list.
El-Mahroug did testify in
the separate trial of three
Berlusconi aides charged with
procuring prostitutes for the
parties. She told that court that
Berlusconis disco featured
aspiring showgirls dressed as
sexy nuns and nurses perform-
ing striptease acts, and that
one woman even dressed up as
President Barack Obama.
Berlusconi was not in court
on Monday. The three female
judges deliberated for more
than seven hours before deliv-
ering their verdict. Their writ-
ten explanations for arriving
at the verdict will be submit-
ted in the next few weeks.
Berlusconi frequently has
railed against Milan prosecu-
tors and judges, accusing them
of mounting politically moti-
vated cases against him.
El-Mahroug, now 20, said in
the other trial that she attend-
ed about a half-dozen parties
at Berlusconis villa, and that
after each, Berlusconi handed
her an envelope with up to
3,000 euros ($3,900). She
said she later received 30,000
euros cash from the then-pre-
mier paid through an interme-
diary money that she told
Berlusconi she wanted to use
to open a beauty salon, despite
having no formal training.

WASHINGTON The U.S.
assumes National Security Agency
leaker Edward Snowden remains in
Russia, and ofcials are working with
Moscow in hopes he will be expelled
and returned to America to face crimi-
nal charges, President Barack Obamas
spokesman said Monday. He declared
that a decision by Hong Kong not to
detain Snowden has unquestionably
hurt relations between the United
States and China.
Snowden left Hong Kong, where
he has been in hiding, and ew to
Moscow but then apparently did
not board a plane bound for Cuba as
had been expected. His whereabouts
were a mystery. The founder of the
WikiLeaks secret-spilling organiza-
tion, Julian Assange, said he wouldnt
go into details about where Snowden
was but said he was safe.
Snowden has applied for asylum in
Ecuador, Iceland and possibly other
countries, Assange said.
Obama, asked if he was condent
that Russia would expel Snowden, told
reporters: What we know is that were
following all the appropriate legal
channels and working with various
other countries to make sure that the
rule of law is observed.
Obamas spokesman, Jay Carney,
earlier Monday said the U.S. was
expecting the Russians to look at the
options available to them to expel Mr.
Snowden back to the United States to
face justice for the crimes with which
he is charged.
The Chinese have emphasized the
importance of building mutual trust,
Carney added, and we think that they
have dealt that effort a serious setback.
If we cannot count on them to honor
their legal extradition obligations, then
there is a problem. And that is a point
we are making to them very directly.
Snowden has given highly classied
documents to The Guardian and The
Washington Post newspapers disclos-
ing U.S. surveillance programs that
collect vast amounts of phone records
and online data in the name of foreign
intelligence, often sweeping up infor-
mation on American citizens. He also
told the South China Morning Post
that the NSA does all kinds of things
like hack Chinese cellphone companies
to steal all of your SMS data.

High court
makes it
harder to sue
businesses
Jesse J. Holland
Associated Press
WASHINGTON A sharply-
divided Supreme Court yesterday
made it more difcult for Americans
to sue businesses for discrimination
and retaliation, leading a justice to
call for Congress to overturn the
courts actions.
The courts conservatives, in two
5-4 decisions, ruled that a person
must be able to hire and re some-
one to be considered a supervisor
in discrimination lawsuits, making
it harder to blame a business for a
coworkers racism or sexism. The
court then decided to limit how
juries can decide retaliation lawsuits,
saying victims must prove employers
would not have taken action against
them but for their intention to retali-
ate.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who
wrote both dissents for the courts
liberal wing and, in a rare move, read
one aloud in the courtroom, said the
high court had corralled Title VII, a
law designed to stop discrimination
in the nations workplaces.
Both decisions dilute the strength
of Title VII in ways Congress could
not have intended, said Ginsburg,
who called on Congress to change
the law to overturn the court.
In the rst case, Maetta Vance,
who was a catering specialist at Ball
State University, accused a co-work-
er, Shaundra Davis, of racial harass-
ment and retaliation in 2005. Vance
sued the school under the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, saying the uni-
versity was liable since Davis was her
supervisor. But a federal judge threw
out her lawsuit, saying that since
Davis could not re Vance, she was
only a co-worker, and since the uni-
versity had taken corrective action,
it was not liable for Davis actions.
The 7th Circuit upheld that decision,
and Vance appealed to the Supreme
Court.
But Justice Samuel Alito, who
wrote the majority opinion, said for
the university to be liable, Davis
must have had the authority to hire,
re, demote, promote, transfer, or
discipline Vance.
We hold that an employee is a
supervisor for purposed of vicari-
ous liability under Title VII if he or
she is empowered by the employer
to take tangible employment actions
against the victim, Alito said.
Because there is no evidence that
BSU empowered Davis to take any
tangible employment actions against
Vance, the judgment of the Seventh
Circuit is afrmed.

State BriefS
Fracking can increase methane in drinking water
NeeLa BaNerJee
Tribune Washington Bureau
Scientists have found that methane
and other gases pose a signicant risk of
contaminating drinking water wells near
natural gas drilling, raising new ques-
tions about possible health and safety
risks from the production technique
known as fracking.
A study published Monday in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences found that drinking water wells
in Northeastern Pennsylvania within
a kilometer of high volume hydraulic
fracturing, or fracking, showed methane
concentrations six times greater, on aver-
age, than in wells farther away.
The gas occurs naturally in the areas
aquifers. But the study showed the
chemical composition of methane in
wells near the drilling sites is the same
as the natural gas extracted in the area.
The researchers tested water samples
from wells in six counties where frack-
ing has touched off a natural gas boom.
Fracking involves injecting large
volumes of water mixed with
sand and chemicals at high pres-
sure deep underground to shatter
rock formations and unlock oil
and gas trapped inside.
Critics have complained that
fracking chemicals have fouled
some wells, but no studies have
shown widespread contamina-
tion.
Methane that accumulates in
conned spaces like basements and sheds
poses a risk of explosion. But there is little
research into the impact on human health
of prolonged exposure to methane, said the
studys lead author, Robert B. Jackson, pro-
fessor of environmental sciences at Duke
University.
The study suggested that the methane
and other gases associated with fossil fuels
ended up in well water because of faulty
metal casings inside a well that allow gas
to seep out as it travels to the surface.
Alternatively, the leaks could be linked to
faulty cement jobs that are supposed to
keep gas and water from moving
in the space between the well cas-
ings and the rock.
The study also found high con-
centrations of ethane and pro-
pane, gases that microbes do not
create but are among those in the
Marcellus Shale formation.
The fact that methane, ethane
and propane were found in so
many homes near gas wells points
to problems with multiple inde-
pendent gas wells, Jackson said.
The study said, We need to understand
why, in some cases, shale gas extraction
contaminates groundwater and how to
keep it from happening elsewhere.
The study was published as several local-
ities around the country battle state leaders
about howfar natural gas drilling should be
set back from homes and schools.
In Pennsylvania, the Legislature passed a
law last year that strips localities of author-
ity to zone gas drilling sites farther from
residential areas, triggering a lawsuit from
several towns.
The study released Monday expands
a project, published by Duke researchers
two years ago, that the oil and gas indus-
try criticized for testing too few wells, and
for failing to account for natural sources of
methane in local well water.
This time, the scientists tested 141
wells, up from 60. They tested water from
four wells in New York where no fracking
has occurred, and fromthree different local
aquifers.
Methane can be created by microbes or
from the same processes that create fos-
sil fuels. The study found that at the 59
homes within a kilometer of a natural gas
well, methane levels were on average much
higher than those farther away.
Of the 59 homes, a dozen had water
wells with methane concentrations greater
than 28 milligrams per liter of water, which
the Interior Department has identied as
the threshold for immediate remediation of
a well.
When the methane concentrations are
that high, the water can bubble like cham-
pagne, Jackson said.

Pennsylvania State Police
have charged two men
in the death of a Fayette

body, later identied as
Margaret G. Kriek, 52,
of Connellsville, partially
submerged in the middle
of the river, state police
said.
Paul J. Bannasch, of
Uniontown, and Craig A.
Rugg, of Connellsville,
both 24, are in the Fayette
County Jail on charges of
felony criminal homicide,
involuntary deviate sexual
intercourse, aggravated
indecent assault and mis-
demeanor abuse of a
corpse, unlawful restraint
and criminal conspiracy.
Food for
thought:
More aid
for children
available
HARRISBURG The
Pennsylvania Department
of Education has changed
course on a decade-old
policy that kept mil-
lions of dollars in federal
food subsidies from low-
income children who are
in child care with relatives
and neighbors.
Advocates estimate as
many as 38,000 of the
states neediest children
could benet from the
recent changes to the fed-
eral Children and Adult
Care Food Program.
Starting next month,
relatives and neighbors
providing state-approved
child-care services to low-
income children will be
able to apply for the aid.
An Education Department
ofcial estimated the pro-
gram could bring in $3
million more each month
for the states child-care
system, depending on how
many providers sign up.
Qualifying relatives or
neighbors would receive
an average of $1,000 a
year per child. Call 1-855-
252-6325 for more infor-
mation.
60-year-old power plant to take more natural approach
NEW CASTLE NRG
Energy plans to retro-
t the 60-year-old New
Castle coal-red elec-
tric power plant to run
on natural gas, extend-
ing its operation beyond
the April 2015 closing
date announced last year
by the previous owner,
GenOn Energy Inc.
NRG is in the early stag-
es of design, engineering
and the permit process but
hopes to have the power
plants switch to natural
gas completed by May
2016, according to Dave
Gaier, the companys East
Region spokesman for
the Princeton, N.J.-based
power company.
The decision to
change the 330 mega-
watt coal-burning power
plant to gas will create
50 to 100 temporary
construction jobs and
save all 40 current full-
time jobs, although there
may be some reductions
later, Gaier said.
The New Castle power
plant was one of eight
coal-red electric power
generating facilities in
Western Pennsylvania,
Ohio and New Jersey that
were slated to be closed
by Houston, Texas-based
GenOn Energy Inc.
The New Castle plant
shutdown was announced
because it would have
required a substantial
investment in environ-
mental controls to con-
tinue to operate as a
coal-burning facility, Mr.
Gaier said.
But we looked at it
and decided it could
be operated economi-
cally on natural gas.
We wont have to install
the extremely expensive
controls that would have
been required to continue
operating on coal.
He said he didnt know
how much the coal-to-gas
conversion would cost.
NRG also has plans to
convert its Avon Lake,
Ohio, coal-burning power
plant to natural gas. The
conversion of that power
plant, which produces
776 megawatts of electric-
ity, will take place during
the same time frame as
that of the New Castle
plant, Mr. Gaier said.
NRG merged with
GenOn in December, cre-
ating the largest commer-
cial electric power gen-
erating company in the
U.S., with a power-gener-
ating capacity of 47,000
megawatts in the East,
Gulf Coast and West and
a combined value of $18
billion.

WILKES-BARRE A man who suf-
fered a gunshot would in September was
sentencedMondayto18months probation
on a charge of carrying the gun illegally.
Christian Sholly, 20, with a last known
address of Hutson Street, was sentenced
on a charge of possession of a rearmnot
to be carried without a license by Judge
David Lupas. City police say Sholly suf-
fered a gunshot would to the chest inside
86 Hutson St. on Sept. 10. His half-
brother, Tony Ransome, 15, was charged
in Luzerne County juvenile court with
the shooting. Sholly pleaded guilty to
the charge in May. He was represented
by attorney John Pike. Police say Sholly
had been carrying the .22-caliber gun that
he placed on a dresser in a bedroom. He
was in a bedroom with a 16-year-old girl
and Ransome playing video games after
the three smoked marijuana on the front
porch of the Hutson Street home.
The girl testied at Ransomes juvenile
hearing in October that Ransome picked
the gun up and aimed it at her and Sholly.
Sholly toldRansome to put the gundown,
she testied, and that Sholly followed
Ransome out into a hallway. Thats when,
she testied, Ransome shot Sholly.
Police said the gun was reported stolen
during an Aug. 1 burglary at a house on
Stanton Street in Wilkes-Barre. Luzerne
County Judge Tina Polachek Gartley had
determined that Ransome was responsi-
ble for his brothers wound, and she ruled
he was a juvenile delinquent on charges
of aggravated assault and two counts of
reckless endangerment, after a 3-1/2 hour
hearing on Thursday. The outcome of his
disposition hearing, similar to a sentenc-
ing in adult court, is unknown.

WILKES-BARRE A city man
charged with robbing a clerk at the R/C
Movies 14 will face a jury of his peers at
a September trial, a county judge said
Monday.
Sean Patrick Flavin, 34, with a
last known address of Regent Street,
appeared before county Judge Fred
Pierantoni Monday. Pierantoni sched-
uled a Sept. 16 trial date on charges of
robbery, possession of a rearm, theft
by unlawful taking, and simple assault.
Flavins attorney, Tom Cometa, said he
will be ling a request to have Flavin
released on nominal bail this week.
State law says a defendant who cannot
make bail must be brought to trial within
180 days of arrest or be released on nomi-
nal bail, which can be as low as $1.
On Aug. 19, city police allege Flavin was
armed with a handgun and threatened
Colin Henry as Henry left the ticket ofce
at the theater.
Flavin demanded the money bag and
told Henry not to watch him leave as he
ran out the lobby doors, according to the
criminal complaint.
City police Detective Charles Jensen
said in the criminal complaint that Lydia
Naperkowski recognized the person in the
picture as Flavin.
Naperkowski turned over a money bag
she found under a childs playpen in her
house. Henry identied it as the money
bag taken fromhim, the complaint alleges.
Police say in the complaint that
Naperkowski had communicated with
Flavin on her cell phone and Flavin sent
several text messages to Naperkowski
after the robbery.
Police secured a search warrant for
Naperkowskis cell phone records to deter-
mine what Flavin might have texted to her.
Flavin was captured after a several-hour
standoff with police in Watertown, Conn.,
on Aug. 22.

Editorial
ITS A STRANGE argument, and
one that holds scant weight when all
is said and done, but we keep having
it. And the fact that we keep having
it is a sign that we have a long way to
go before becoming a modern county.
As a story on page A1 of Sundays
Times Leader noted, County Council
is still debating the value of lling
high-level managerial jobs with non-
resident applicants. Three words
in response: Federal corruption
probe.
One would have thought the
wretched excesses brought on by in-
breeding and exposed by the arrest of
dozens of local politicians and power-
brokers including a former County
Commissioner in Luzerne County
and two in Lackawanna County
would be proof enough.
Refusing to advertise for and con-
sider outside candidates festers
unfettered cronyism and nepotism,
two pillars of corruption. A criti-
cal reason the Kids for Cash scan-
dal was the fact that then-President
Judge Michael Conahan had great
sway in hirings and appointments,
and he packed courthouse key posi-
tions with those who would not or
could not cross him.
This is unequivocal: When it
comes to top jobs, the search should
be national and all candidates should
be equally measured regardless of
residency. The only time a persons
home should be considered is when
County Council, upon careful review
of all applicants, nds two of abso-
lute equal worth. Then the local per-
son should get the nod rather than
ipping a coin.
But if some council members still
truly think this needs debate, lets
consider their arguments for giving
residency automatic preference:
Councilman Rick Morelli contends
advertising for outside applicants
implies all local candidates are politi-
cal, and that hiring from outside
drives educated locals out of the
area. The rebuttal: Seeking appli-
cants from both inside and outside
the county implies nothing, and is
an excellent way to help assure the
hirings are never political. And noth-
ing can drive a well-educated, highly
motivated and talented local person
away than the thought that You have
to know someone to get a decent
job.
Councilman Stephen A. Urban
argues most taxpayers would prefer
county jobs go to county residents.
Taxpayers surely want county jobs to
go to the person who will do the best
job for the tax dollars they are paid.
Councilman Eugene Kelleher
agreed to hiring the best without
considering residency, but then
added it doesnt send a very good
message to our employees if theyre
not given the chance to advance.
Hes right. They should be given the
chance to advance, as long as they
are better candidates than an out-
side applicant. And if they have been
doing their current county job well,
surely they should have an advantage
that doesnt require consideration of
residency.
Councilman Stephen J. Urban wor-
ries that outside candidates may not
have sufcient knowledge of local or
state laws, thus requiring a huge
learning curve. This is an argument
without a cause. If a candidate lacks
necessary understanding of local or
state regulations, and another, equal-
ly qualied candidate has that under-
standing, the rst candidate should
be rejected and the second approved
regardless of residency for either.
But the debate is moot for a much
simpler reason. This a part-time
council earning modest pay, and
arguably the single most important
job members have is to make sure
candidates for each managerial posi-
tion are properly screened and vetted
before the best is hired.
Do that, and residency is, de facto,
irrelevant.

Time grows short
Time is running out for students
across Pennsylvania. Less than two
weeks remain for state lawmakers
to begin to undo the damage they
have done with deep funding cuts to
schools. A House budget plan leaves
nearly 85 percent of those cuts
in place, doing little to hire back
nurses and counselors or to restore
music, arts, and sports programs
that districts have been forced to
cut.
Senate leaders and Gov. Corbetts
administration have signaled a will-
ingness to delay a business tax cut
next year. That is welcome news.
Keeping the tax rate at 2012 levels
could raise $360 million to restore
some of the deepest school cuts. In
response to critics, Sen. Jake Corman
asks: Is that [tax] phaseout more
important than education dollars?
Schools across Pennsylvania have
been forced to absorb state funding
cuts, but the students from the poor-
est school districts have gotten the
worst of it. The students with the
greatest challenges should not be
asked to sacrice more to pay for a
new round of tax cuts for protable
corporations.
Delaying an unaffordable busi-
ness tax cut is the scally respon-
sible thing to do and the best way to
restore critical educational opportu-
nities for our children.

THE ONE WHO is unwilling to work shall not eat, Rep. Stephen Fincher,
R-Tenn., said in quoting the Bible last month of the 48 million hungry
Americans, mostly working families and senior citizens, who require fed-
eral help to put food on the table. That misguided principle stands at the
center of a House farm bill push to cut $20.5 billion from food stamps
over a decade, officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program. Pursuing the sacred cause of deficit reduction, Congress would
sooner shrink aid to struggling families than reform farm subsidies, of
which Fincher, who owns a family cotton farm, is one of the largest recipi-
ents in Tennessee history.
Its dismaying that one in seven Americans needs help getting enough
food to eat. The number has soared since the recession began, and the fact
that rates have stayed high reflects the troubling reality that many of the
jobs regainedare low-wage.
But the solution is not to push 1.8 million low-income people off the food
stamp rolls. The program is functioning as it was designed to, responding to
economic distress by making sure families have food. Thats humane the
program kept 2.1 million children out of poverty in 2011 by providing food
assistance to low-income families and its also fiscally effective: people
who arent hungry are more productive.
The House bill undercut the food stamp program precisely where its most
promising. The bill would penalize recipients who built small savings or
who own a modest car, assets known to help people nd employment and
regain self-sufciency.
Some 210,000 low-income children also stand to lose free school meals,
negating a sensible investment in current learning and future productivity if
there ever was one. Benet cuts for an additional 1.7 million people included
in the bill would disproportionately hurt low-income seniors, people with dis-
abilities and working-poor families with children. Over 80 percent of house-
holds that receive benets live below the poverty line.
Some in Congress complain that an expanding food stamp system is ripe
for abuse. But in fact, the program has a low and steadily dropping fraud rate,
and the vision of impoverished people living lavishly off $1.48 per meal is a
mean-spirited ction. Americans should not starve. This program deserves to
continue, as a matter of moral responsibility and scal common sense.

Cutting food stamps
is farmbill folly
oThEr oPiNioN
Luzerne County Community College has endured its
share of derision over the decades, and for good cause. It
has served as crony central for the politically connected
and too often was less than stellar in assuring transparent
accountability - none of which should obscure the great
value it provides to our region.
For every aw you can site at LCCC, Im
betting I could nd 10 success stories: young
people who drifted aimlessly until the little
college in Nanticoke offered an affordable
and exible route to steady employment;
the freshly unemployed retrained for a new
purpose; the working poor nding a path-
way to post-secondary education.
For years I saw this side of LCCC as just
part of my job. Interviewing people like Jen
Yemola, the LCCC-trained pastry chef who
found national fame in 2007 on TVs Hells
Kitchen. Or Jim Walsh, who lost his factory
job after 25 years and gured retraining at
LCCC for plumbing and heating was the cheapest way to
rebuild his life.
But last month it became personal.
Ive known my niece Brittany Guydish since she was
born. Ive known her mother, Bette Mae, for at least a
quarter of a decade. Obviously, Ive known her father, my
older brother, since I was born.
The youngest of three, Brittany often seemed the least
focused on her future path, understandable as she coped
with her own ailments at times and those of family mem-
bers, including Bette Mae, who was diagnosed with mul-
tiple sclerosis after years of unexplained symptoms.
Bette Mae graduated from the now-defunct West
Hazleton High School two years ahead of me, though I
didnt really get to know her until several years later. She
picked her profession immediately, attending the former
Sacred Heart School of Nursing in Allentown, and worked
in the eld until the MS overpowered in 2007. She spends
much of her time now in a wheelchair, still laughing and
joking every moment I see her.
Her oldest son, whom I used to startle by doing things
like hiding on top of the refrigerator in their apartment
when he was two or three, worked his way into restaurant
managment. Her middle daughter plowed straight from
Northwest Area High School valedictorian to currently
earning her PhD at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
Brittany had a harder time picking a path, building a
career in a restaurant chain but usually contemplating
alternatives. Then she choose LCCCs nursing program.
I worked night shift during Brittanys evening com-
mencement, but was able to attend her pinning a few
days earlier.
Its strictly ceremonial. The degree, as noted, is con-
ferred later. But in one way at least it can be the most
meaningful moment for LCCC nursing grads: They can
pick the person who will put the pin on their new white
uniform.
Brittany went with mom, and you would be hard
pressed to nd a more poignant moment. My brother
pushed Bettes wheelchair near the little stage. Bette
worked her way up the two steps with her cane. Brittany
held the cane while Bette place the pin on her daughters
classic nurses dress.
If you saw the scene in a movie you would write it off
as too hokey to be true, a blatant effort by scriptwriter to
go for cheap heart tug: Mother with promising career as
a nurse struck down by MS pins daughter who suddenly
found focus and became a nurse.
But it was real. Brittany could have spun out in some
haphazard direction. She didnt. The day she graduated,
she also accepted a job at Hazleton General Hospital.
And while most of the credit surely goes to her, her
family and her upbringing, there was an indispensable
component: LCCC provided a route to nursing she could
afford and work into her complex life.
Go ahead: Find something negative to say about LCCC
that would outweigh that good.

Summary: Spotty downpours will only briefly break the heat and humidity in the
East and South today. Damaging storms and flash flooding are a concern in the
North Central states. The Northwest will stay cool and wet.
license, registration and
other driver fees approved
by the Senate, as well as a
proposed $100 surcharge on
traffic violations to generate
transit funding.
Increase local match?
Under the House amend-
ment, the local match for
state transit funding would
increase from 15 to 20 per-
cent, while local governments
also would be authorized to
to impose their own taxes to
bolster transit funding.
Strelish said funding tran-
sit by imposing more taxes at
the county level would not be
politically feasible, especial-
ly in Luzerne County.
The status of highway proj-
ects under the House propos-
als also seemed uncertain
Monday.
According to docu-
ments provided by the
state Department of
Transportation, the June 5
Senate bill included eight
infrastructure projects in
Luzerne County worth $83.5
million, including such
big-ticket items as $26 mil-
lion for replacing Interstate
81 bridges in Dorrance
Township and nearly $24 mil-
lion to reconstruct the Sans
Souci Parkway in Hanover
Township.
While it was clear that the
House plan would dedicate
less money to road and bridge
projects, an itemized list of
what might get funded under
the pending House amend-
ments was not available.
Indeed, the final form of
those amendments was not
known Monday, as debate
swirled over what led to the
delay.
The reality, in my opinion,
is that House Republicans
obviously didnt have the
votes, said state Rep.
Mike Carroll, D-Avoca, who
sits on the Transportation
Committee.
Eric Bugaile, executive
director of the committee,
told The Times Leader the
recess was required to make
technical corrections and
other changes to the 110-
page amendment document.
Bugaile declined comment
on whether political consid-
erations prompted the delay.
But The Associated Press
reported that Republicans
also acknowledged they
needed more time for caucus
members to discuss the mea-
sure, prompting questions
about whether supporters
lacked the necessary votes to
win committee approval.
Obviously, this is an
issue thats important to a
cross-section of legislators,
House GOP spokesman Steve
Miskin said.
Differences over transit, in
particular, did not surprise
one veteran observer of the
states political scene.
Republicans historically
have been for roads and
bridges, Democrats have his-
torically been for mass tran-
sit, said G. Terry Madonna,
professor of public affairs at
Franklin & Marshall College
in Lancaster.
Usually they will find an
accommodation, Madonna
said.
What makes the battle over
this bill different from the
norm, Madonna suggested,
was the widening gap not just
between House Republicans
and their Senate counter-
parts, but between the party
and Republican Gov. Tom
Corbett, who supported a
much more comprehensive
funding package even than
that approved by the Senate.
Ideology factors In
Despite polling data sug-
gesting that voters are broad-
ly in favor of increased trans-
portation funding, Madonna
believes ideology may play
a role. House Republicans
elected following the rise to
prominence of Tea Party fis-
cal conservatism have shown
significant resistance to rais-
ing taxes, fees or spending in
many areas, Madonna said,
in contrast with more prag-
matic GOP members in the
Senate.
There are deep divi-
sions there, in the ranks of
Republicans, Madonna said.
The House is more conser-
vative than the Senate.
Senators and House
Democrats showed their
dismay with the proposed
amendment. In speeches
on the chamber floor, the
Senates two Transportation
Committee chairmen remind-
ed House members that
Pennsylvania has a duty to
ensure the safety of its roads
and to help further com-
merce.
Lets not lose sight of
what we need to do, said
Cambria County Sen. John
Wozniak, the committees
ranking Democrat.
The Associated Press con-
tributed to this report..

PNC secure bond work as constituent
work. Asked whether it was appropriate
constituent work directed by Mellow,
Lepore said, Yes.
Danchak took Mellow to New York
Yankees baseball games, Lepore testied,
and on one trip they rode to the stadium
in a limo and ate in an Italian restaurant.
On another occasion, a PNC-sponsored
dinner at Sparks Steakhouse in Manhattan
honored Mellow, Lepore said.
PNC paid for it, he said.
That dinner happened during a
Pennsylvania Society weekend, when
lawmakers and others in government and
politics attend receptions in New York,
often for politicians interested in higher
ofce, Lepore said. Mellow though about
running for governor, he said.
Under cross-examination by Mellows
lawyers, Lepore said taking Mellow to
Yankees games probably was not an
attempt to inuence Mellow. He said
Mellow also tried to help because PNC,
the largest bank in Pennsylvania, did not
have Turnpike bond work, Lepore said.
He never discussed a quid pro quo
with Brimmeier, Lepore said in response
to questions from Brimmeiers attor-
ney, William Winning. Lepore described
Brimmeier as a top-notch guy, and said
he never questioned Brimmeiers integrity
and honesty.
The grand jury presentment said PNC
received $2.4 million in underwriting
fees from the Turnpike from 2006 to 2012
because Lepore intervened on Mellows
behalf.
For Mellow and Rubin, this is not their
rst brush with prosecutors.
Rubin in 2009 pleaded guilty to obstruc-
tion of justice in a federal prosecution of
Fumo, who is serving a 60-month sentence
for defrauding millions of dollars from the
state Senate, a Philadelphia nonprot he
founded and a seaport museum. Rubin
admitted to holding a no-show $30,000
Senate job that Fumo arranged. Then-Gov.
Ed Rendell red Rubin as Turnpike chair-
man following Fumos conviction.
Rubin served 6 months house arrest.
Mellow pleaded guilty in 2012 to con-
spiracy to commit mail fraud for failing
to report income to the IRS and using
Senate resources and staff for fundraisers
and campaigns. He is serving a 16-month
federal sentence. Mellow was not present
for Mondays hearing and his attorneys
are ghting the Turnpike charges.
Sal Cognetti, another Scranton lawyer
representing Mellow, said the state pros-
ecution subjects Mellow to double jeop-
ardy.
Lawyers for several defendants asked
the judge to dismiss charges, many claim-
ing the charges are vague. Wenner said he
would consider their arguments.

asked Hearst, who was seated
in the passenger seat of her
car, if she could use his cell
phone.
Murphy placed her phone on
the drivers seat while Hearst
got out and played Frisbee.
When Murphy returned to her
car, she noticed her phone was
missing, the complaint says.
Hearst accompanied
Murphy to city police head-
quarters to report her phone
stolen.
While talking to an officer
in the lobby, Murphy heard a
phone vibrating somewhere
inside Hearsts gym shorts.
Murphy asked Hearst if
he had her phone, which he
denied.
Hearst emptied his pockets
showing he only had a wallet.
Murphy followed Hearst
outside, accusing him of hav-
ing her phone, which contin-
ued to vibrate in his shorts.
A police ofcer went outside
as Hearst walked onto State
Street away from Murphy. The
ofcer stopped Hearst and
patted his clothing, causing a
phone to fall from his shorts,
the complaint says.
Murphy then identified the
phone as being hers by point-
ing out the cracked screen,
police said.
Hearst told police the
phone fell from his underwear
through a hole in his shorts
pocket, according to the com-
plaint.
Attempts to contact Hearst
were unsuccessful on Monday.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled on July 3 before
Kane.

rather than incur the fees. She said she
asked to be paid by paper check or direct
deposit, but was denied.
In her suit, Gunshannon names fran-
chise owners Albert and Carol Mueller
of Clarks Summit, who employ about
800 people at 16 McDonalds restau-
rants in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Cefalo said the debit card method
squeezes the most vulnerable and is
an example of corporate greed.
Mike Fusco, spokesman for JP Morgan
Chase in New York City, said he couldnt
comment on any specic case, but he
did say the company provides the debit
cards as an option to receive wages.
Most clients offer other methods
of payment like paper checks or direct
deposit, Fusco said.
Fusco also said there are ways for
employees to access their cash for free
without incurring any charges. He said
the debit card method offers the employ-
er much more efciency and fraud pro-
tection than paper checks.
Attorney Matthew Hank of
Philadelphia, who represents the
Muellers, did not return several mes-
sages left at his ofce.
Cefalo said the case has taken on sev-
eral legs and he has assigned investi-
gators to look into allegations made by
many others who have learned of the
class-action suit.
We want to know what the relation-
ship is between Chase and the Muellers,
Cefalo said.
Gunshannon, of Dallas Township,
worked at McDonalds Restaurant on
the Dallas Highway from April 24 to
May 15. When she received her rst
paycheck, a Chase Bank debit card was
enclosed with instructions on how to
use it and the fees attached.
The suit seeks an unspecied amount
of monetary damages and asks for puni-
tive, compensatory, and liquidated dam-
ages, plus legal fees and litigation costs
against the company for its ill-gotten
gains contrary to justice, equity, good
conscience and Pennsylvania law.

Bill Jones, president/CEO of the United
Way of Wyoming Valley, said the donor
insisted on remaining anonymous.
To give up this kind of gift for people in
need is a wonderful reection of our com-

This anonymous donation is amazing
and were proud to be a part of it, he said.
Tona was helped by Crystal Williams,

Reyes, 24, who helped push the lled carts.
Ruths Place is the only emergency shel-
ter for homeless women in Luzerne County.
Since 2003, Ruths Place has provided emer-
gency shelter and services for more than
1,513 women, representing some 31,739
nights of lodging. Topolski said 86 women
were placed in permanent housing in 2012
and 39 more in transitional housing.

The Pittsburgh
Penguins traded long-time
Wi l kes- Barre/Scranton
defenseman Alex Grant
on Monday to the
Anaheim Ducks organiza-
tions for forward Harry
Zolnierczyk.
Grant, 24, was draft-
ed by Pittsburgh in the
fourth round of the 2007
draft. He split the 2009-
2010 season between
Wi l kes- Barre/Scranton
and Wheeling and missed
most of the following year
with an arm injury.
In 2011-2012, Grant
nally got a chance to
play full-time and posted
10 goals, 37 points and
73 penalty minutes in
61 games, leading all
Penguins blueliners.
This past season, due to
a glut of depth on defense,
Grant spent much of the
rst part of the year as a
healthy scratch. He got
into the lineup on a regu-
lar basis in the second
half and responded with
four goals, 20 points and
73 penalty minutes in 46
games. He also added two
goals in 13 playoff con-
tests this season.
Over the last four sea-
sons, Grant appeared
in 125 games with the
Penguins, posting 17
goals, 62 points and 174
penalty minutes.
Zolnierczyk, 25, split
the 2012-13 campaign
between the Anaheim and
Philadelphia Flyers orga-
nizations. He played in
seven NHL games with the
Flyers, recording one assist
and 36 penalty minutes.
The 5-foot-11, 175-
pound Zolnierczyk spent
a majority of the 12-13
season in the American
Hockey League with the
Adirondack Phantoms and
Norfolk Admirals, collect-
ing 11 goals and 19 points
with 68 penalty minutes
in 61 games between the
two teams.

anteed home dates for

One and done for Nadal
Howard Fendrich
APTennis Writer
LONDON Just like
that, in a span of 15 days,
Rafael Nadal went from
French Open champion
for a record eighth time
to rst-round Grand Slam
loser for the only time in
his career.
Limping occasionally
and slower than usual,
but unwilling afterward
to blame an old left knee
injury, the two-time
Wimbledon winner exit-
ed 7-6 (4), 7-6 (8), 6-4
Monday against 135th-
ranked Steve Darcis of
Belgium one of the
most stunning results
ever at the All England
Club.
Nobody remembers
the losses. People remem-
ber the victories, Nadal
said, shaking his head as
he leaned back in a black
leather chair. And I dont
want to remember that
loss.
Everyone else denite-
ly will.
It certainly belongs
in the same category
as his loss a year ago at
Wimbledon, in the second
round to Lukas Rosol, a
player ranked 100th at
the time. After that set-
back, Nadal missed about
seven months because of
his bad left knee. Since
returning, he had gone
43-2 and reached the
nals at all nine tourna-
ments he entered, win-
ning seven.
Most recently, in Paris,
he collected his 12th
Grand Slam trophy, tied
for third-most in history,
while extending his win-
ning streak to 22 matches.
Two weeks ago, I was
in a fantastic situation,
winning a fantastic tour-
nament, Nadal said.
Two weeks later, I lost
here in the rst round.
Thats the positive and
the negative thing about
this sport.
His early defeat ren-
dered moot all the debate
in the preceding days
about whether Nadals
No. 5 seeding was
appropriate or whether
Wimbledon ofcials
should have bumped him
higher because of past
success at the grass-court
tournament.

Clock ticking
on Hamlins
Chase chances
Jenna Fryer
APAuto Racing Writer
SONOMA, Calif.
Denny Hamlin closed in
on a slower car at Sonoma
Raceway, changed lanes
to make the pass and was
instead slammed into
from behind contact
that sent him spinning off
the course.
Who am I wrecking?
Hamlin asked on his radio
to identify which driver
had retaliation coming to
him.
Told the culprit
was good friend Tony
Stewart, Hamlin quietly
went about his day. It
ended with a frustrating
23rd-place nish Sunday
and another setback in
what he had hoped would
be a furious charge into
the Chase for the Sprint
Cup championship. With
10 races remaining to set
the eld, Hamlin is 25th
in the standings and win-
less.
Hes in a frantic race to
crack the top 20 hes
currently 83 points out
and lock up some race
wins that would make him
eligible to claim a wild-
card berth into the Chase.
It was the goal he set for
himself when he was side-
lined four races with a

BOSTON An NHL-record unbeaten
streak to start the lockout-shortened sea-
son.
Three straight victories to clinch the
title.
From beginning to end, the Chicago
Blackhawks skated away from the rest of
the league.
Bryan Bickell and Dave Bolland scored
17 seconds apart in the 1:16 and the
Blackhawks staged a stunning rally to
win Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final 3-2
on Monday night for their second NHL
championship in four seasons.
Jonathan Toews returned from injury to
add a goal, and Corey Crawford made 23
saves for Chicago in the rst nal round
between Original Six since 1979.
I still cant believe that nish, Crawford
said. Oh my God, we never quit.

Blue Jays see win streak end in Tampa
The Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Jeremy
Hellickson allowed one hit in seven
shutout innings and rookie Wil
Myers homered in his home debut,
helping the Tampa Bay Rays beat
the Blue Jays 4-1 on Monday night
to end Torontos 11-game winning
streak.
Myers hit the second of three
straight Tampa Bay homers in the
second, connecting in his first at-
bat at Tropicana Field. He received
a standing ovation from a crowd of
11,407 getting its initial close-up
view of the key acquisition in the
offseason trade that sent pitchers
James Shields and Wade Davis to
Kansas City for the power-hitting
right fielder and other prospects.
Myers drive to center off Esmil
Rogers (3-3) was sandwiched
between home runs by James Loney
and Sam Fuld as Tampa Bay went
deep three times within a span of
eight pitches. Luke Scott added a
bloop RBI double to make it 4-0 in
the third, and that was all the sup-
port Hellickson needed.
A night after scoring a season-
high 13 runs at home to complete
a three-game sweep of Baltimore,
the Blue Jays were limited to four
singles and five walks. They came
up short in their bid to extend the
longest winning streak in the majors
since Detroit won 12 straight in
2011.
Hellickson (6-3) gave up J.P.
Arencibias single, walked four and
struck out four. He allowed only
one runner past first base in the
second inning, when Colby Rasmus
walked and moved to third when
Arencibia followed with his hit to
center field.
The Blue Jays stranded Rasmus,
who drew three of Torontos five
walks, when Maicer Izturis ground-
ed into an inning-ending double
play.
Toronto finally broke through in
the eighth when it loaded the bases
with one out against Alex Torres
with a pair of singles and a walk.
Jose Bautista grounded into a force
play to drive in a run before Edwin
Encarnacion flied out to end the
threat.
Fernando Rodney worked the
ninth for the Rays, earning his 16th
save in 21 opportunities.
The Blue Jays longest winning
streak in nearly 15 years matched
the best in club history. They also
won 11 straight in 1987 and 1998.

Royals Brett still fnding groove as a coach
Dave Skretta
AP Sports Writer
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
George Brett likes to say
that hitting was always eas-
ier for him to do than say.
After all, he was one of the
best of his generation of
any generation, really. His
pursuit of the near-mythical
.400 mark during his MVP
season of 1980 came up just
10 points short, and to this
day remains one of the most
spirited cracks at it since
Ted Williams reached it in
1941.
But for Brett, stepping
into the batters box, peer-
ing back at a pitcher and
then putting the right swing
on the ball came naturally.
He worked his tail off, of
course, but when someone
would ask him to explain
his sweet swing, he would
usually just shrug.
It was easier to do than
say.
Well, now hes getting
paid to say rather than
do. Hes three weeks into
a monthlong experiment
as the Kansas City Royals
hitting coach, and just like
Williams and scores of
other greats who have tried
to become coaches, Brett is
finding results maddeningly
slow to show.
Ive seen results in bat-
ting practice. I want to
see them in games, Brett
said in an interview with
The Associated Press. Ive
seen some guys alter their
swings a bit, their stances
a little bit, and theyve had
a little success, which is
good. Some guys are work-
ing on it and it looks good
in BP but it hasnt carried
over to a game yet.
When it carries over to a
game, he added, well be OK.
The question that will
soon face Brett is whether
hell be around to witness
it.
The Hall of Fame third
baseman turned down
numerous opportunities to
coach over the years, most-
ly because he didnt want to
deal with the daily grind.
But he also didnt know
whether hed be any good
at it, a hard admission for
someone who has always
excelled in baseball.
So even when the Royals
reassigned hitting coaches
Jack Maloof and Andre
David and came calling
once more, Brett accepted
the interim job with reserva-
tions. He told manager Ned
Yost and general manager
Dayton Moore he would
give it a month and see how
things were working out.
That month is quickly
approaching an end and the
results so far at least in
black-and-white terms
have been modest at best
and a humbling disappoint-
ment at worst.
The Royals were hitting
.261 when Brett put on the
old No. 5. They were aver-
aging four runs a game, and
ranked near the bottom of
the American League in just
about every statistical cat-
egory.
Since he took over, the
team is batting just .247
and scoring about 3.7 runs
per game.
Their walk rate has
improved ever-so slightly,
but their power numbers
have declined. Theyre hit-
ting fewer home runs and
extra-base hits, which is
hard to imagine given the
lack of power they were
already demonstrating dur-
ing the early part of the sea-
son.
As an offensive group, we
havent come together as a
team, Yost acknowledged.
Were still trying to take
on too much responsibility
individually instead of just
doing whatever it takes.
But that old adage that
numbers never lie? Well,
Yost believe they can.
In just about every rela-
tive statistic, the Royals
have regressed under Brett,
but there are plenty of rea-
sons to explain it. It takes
time for changes to take
hold. Subtle tweaks to a
swing and, more important,
a mindset can sometimes
take months to reflect in the
numbers.
In some cases, players
have simply reverted to
their expected mean.
Alex Gordon was hit-
ting .340 when Brett came
aboard but is just .152
since, putting his season
average of .288 closer to
what hed be expected to
bat. Lorenzo Cains average
has slid from .282 to .262,
more in line with what he
hit last season.
But in players that Brett
has worked most closely
with, Eric Hosmer and
Mike Moustakas among
them, theres been profound
improvement. Hosmers
average has climbed from
.262 to .275, and he is start-
ing to pull the ball more.
Moustakas has nudged his
average over.200 after hit-
ting .187 prior to Bretts
arrival, often crediting his
new batting coach with the
improvement.
Exactly what has
Moustakas been told?
Our little secret, he
said.
Im learning, Brett
explained. Ive never done
this before. Done it with my
kids until they got to high
school I was the assistant
coach on all their teams.
But teaching an 8-year-old
to throw a baseball and hit a
baseball? Pretty easy.
This is certainly not easy,
and in many ways a predica-
ment. If Brett was to fail,
how could the Royals fire
the face of their franchise?
And to whom would they
turn next?
Perhaps thats why Brett
seems to be living and dying
with every at-bat.
When he hung up the
cleats after the 1993 sea-
son, Brett said he did it
because winning and losing
didnt mean as much any-
more. He never got as high
after wins and never got as
low after a loss. He didnt
want to be simply playing
for a check, so he chose to
retire.
Its completely differ-
ent now, he said. Now
Im (angry) when we lose
and Im very excited when
we win. I mean, Im more
nervous in the games now
because the games mean a
lot more than when I was
watching them on TV.
Theres been more wins
than losses since Brett took
over the team was 21-29
at the time and is 14-9 since,
though most of that can be
attributed to some stingy
pitching.
But Brett believes the
Royals are on their way
toward sustained success,
something that hasnt hap-
pened for the franchise in
decades not since he was
still manning the hot cor-
ner, and his scrappy team
expected to be a contender
every year.
Every day we stepped
on the field, Brett said,
we expected to win, and I
think this organization the
past five years of losing 90
games, they were hoping
to win rather than expect-
ing to win. I think when we
start winning, well expect
to win again.
When might that happen?
How about tonight? he
said. They win tonight,
theyll expect to win tomor-
row.

A-Rod getting power back
during simulated at-bats
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. Alex Rodriguez is get-
ting his power swing back.
The New York Yankees third baseman,
coming back from hip surgery in January,
hit a ball to the base of the center-field
fence and another on the warning track
in left center off a minor league right-
hander Monday as he continued taking
simulated at-bats.
In sessions late last week, A-Rod pri-
marily hit grounders mixed in with a
couple liners.
Rodriguez also had an extensive baser-
unning session and did sliding drills on a
mat in the outfield, two key steps before
starting a minor league rehab assign-
ment.
The Yankees have not said when
Rodriguez will begin playing in games,
but are hoping for after the All-Star
break.
Derek Jeter, recovering from a broken
left ankle, took batting practice with
Rodriguez and Eduardo Nunez.
The shortstop had relocated his rehab
Saturday and Sunday to Yankee Stadium.
Jeter hasnt played this season after
breaking his ankle in the ALCS opener
Oct. 13. After surgery, he played just five
spring training games because of sore-
ness. A new break was discovered April
18.
Nunez, who strained a muscle on his
left side while filling in for Jeter, also
took simulated at-bats, ran the bases and
did slides with Rodriguez.
the Cleveland Indians beat the
Baltimore Orioles for their ninth
win in 12 games.
Brantley put the Indians ahead
with a two-run single in the sixth
inning and made it 5-2 with a two-
run shot in the eighth off Darren
ODay. His four RBIs tied a career
high, reached twice previously.
Nick Swisher had two hits and
scored a run for the Indians, and
former Oriole Mark Reynolds went
1 for 2 with two walks. The victory
improved Clevelands record against
the AL East to 7-17 and provided an
uplifting start to an 11-game road
trip.
Ubaldo Jimenez (6-4) allowed
two runs in 5 1-3 innings and
Vinnie Pestano, the fourth Indians
reliever, worked the ninth for his
fourth save.

For The Times Leader
Paige Selenski has been to the worlds premier event in
amateur athletics.
The Dallas High School graduate returned from the
London 2012 Olympic Games to complete one of the
most successful eld hockey careers in Atlantic Coast
Conference history.
Selenski is done with her time at the University of
Virginia, but there is no reason to think her playing days
are over.
Last month, Selenski both graduated from Virginia
and earned a spot on the latest 30-player United States
Womens National Squad.
Im just going to take it slow right now, said Selenski,
who made the team through the Womens National
Championships at Old Dominion University in Norfolk,
Va. Right now, my heart is still in eld hockey and play-
ing the game.
Its a bit early in the process to determine whether
Selenski, who will be 23 later this month, has another
Olympics appearance in her future. She is motivated by
another major international event.
Four years is a long time, Selenski said. I think for
most hockey players, the World Cup kind of splits it up.
There are two years between the Olympics and the
World Cup. Everybody I play with wants to play in a World
Cup, as well.
That gives Selenski a target on the playing eld for 2014
at a time in her life when she is also preparing for the next
step elsewhere.
Thats something Ive been trying to gure out for a
while, said Selenski, a speedy forward who nished her
career at Virginia as the eighth-leading scorer in NCAA
Division I history, a four-time All-American and the 2012
ACC Player of the Year after redshirting in 2011 to concen-
trate on national team play. Just graduating from a great
university obviously opens up a lot of opportunities.
Selenski, who earned a degree in English, said other life
decisions will have to be made as they come up. For now,
she is looking forward to moving back to Pennsylvania
with the national team when USA Field Hockey moves its
headquarters to Lancaster this summer.
Last summer ended with Selenski scoring a goal in the
Olympics. She had the only score for the United States in
a 2-1 loss to Belgium in the nal game, which determined
11th and 12th place in the 12-team eld.
My goal at the Olympics came at a pretty rough time for
our whole team, she said. It was our last game and, obvi-
ously, the outcome was not what we wanted at all.
A lot of it was that we were unlucky in the beginning.
It was good for me to end the Olympics on a good note.
The way the Olympics as a whole turned out is fresh in
the minds of Selenski and the rest of Team USA.
That drives us every day, every practice, Selenski said,
especially for those of us who competed at the Olympics
and the outcome was not anywhere near what we wanted
it to be.
That fuels our re. We know were better than what we
did at the Olympics.
That disappointment, combined with a new head coach,
could have added uncertainty to those trying to maintain
spots on the national team.
The latest roster was selected, as it is each season, fol-
lowing the Womens National Championships.
A dozen players with Olympic experience are part of the
30-player roster.
Especially with a new coach, you dont know what he
wants; you dont knowwhat hes looking for, Selenski said.
Theres a bunch of us who have the title of Olympian, but
you still have to show what youre capable of and how skill-
ful you are on the eld.
There are people always ghting to take your spot. You
really have to be on top of your game at all times.
The national tournament is the yearly highlight of a pro-
cess in which Selenski and others now on the Womens
National Squad alternately compete against and then
alongside each other.
Not long after being named to the team, they were back
to that battle again.
During training, they were trying to convince Craig
Parnham that they were worthy of being among the 18
players selected to compete at the World League Seminal.
Selenski again made the cut. She was with the team that
was scheduled to leave for London yesterday to get ready
for Saturdays opener against Argentina, the silver medal-
ist at the London Olympics.
For Selenski to have a chance to be on a U.S. roster in
the World Cup, she will rst have to assist the team in the
process of qualifying.
The World League Seminal is the rst step in qualify-
ing for the World Cup. The United States nished sixth in
the 2006 World Cup, but missed qualifying in 2010 when
it fell a game short. China and Italy are also in Pool A with
the United States and Argentina.
The quarternals in the eight-team event begin June 27
with the top four teams advancing to the World League
Final.
We will aim to nish as high as possible, with the
immediate challenge of qualifying for the World Cup,
Parnham said in a press release. The crucial game will
be the quarternal which will determine whether a team
progresses through to the top four places.
When the World Cup Seminal is over, Selenski will be
back to National Squad training where she will be joined
by Wyoming Seminary graduates Kelsey Kolojejchick and
Kat Sharkey, who made the 30-player team, but not the
18-player group that is in action this week.
Its good to have players who are familiar to me also
playing on the national level, said Selenski, the 2007
Pennsylvania High School Player of the Year.

Wimbledon from 2006-11 (he missed the
2009 edition because of knee trouble),
Nadal reached the nal ve times. He
won the 2008 and 2010 championships,
and was the runner-up to Roger Federer
in 2006-07, then to Novak Djokovic in
2011.
Because of Nadals low-for-him seed-
ing this time his ranking slid dur-
ing his time off he wound up in the
same half of the draw as seven-time
champion Federer and second-seeded
Andy Murray. A possible Nadal-Federer
quarternal loomed, as did a potential
Nadal-Murray seminal.
So much for that.
Pretty irrelevant right now, said
Murray, who won in three sets Monday,
as did Federer. Its obviously surpris-
ing. But, you know, the consistency that
Rafa, Roger, Novak have shown in the
Slams over the last ve, six years, its
going to be almost impossible to keep
that up forever.
Two days before Wimbledon started,
Nadal spoke about having more trou-
ble on grass than other surfaces lately
because its low skids force him to bend
his knees so much to reach shots. Nadal
decided to skip a grass-court tuneup
tournament between the French Open
and Wimbledon, opting to rest instead,
and arrived in England on Tuesday to
begin preparing in earnest.
On Monday, he said, I didnt move
the way I need to if Im going to win on
this surface.
Nadal avoids discussing health issues
in the immediate aftermath of a defeat
he didnt reveal the left knee injury
last year until weeks after the Rosol
match and Monday was no different.
Still, anyone who watched Nadal play
Darcis could tell something wasnt right.
Nadal deected three questions in
English about his left knee, saying its
not the day to talk about these kind
of things and that it would sound like
an excuse. When a reporter asked in
Spanish about the knee, Nadal replied:
Youre assuming Im injured. He later
did repeat what he mentioned at Roland
Garros, which is that the knee is painful
at times.
Maybe he was not in the best shape
ever. Maybe he didnt play his best
match, Darcis said, noting that he wants
to get his hands on of a DVD of the most
signicant victory of his career. But I
have to be proud.
Thats for sure.
Darcis came in 7-18 in Grand Slam
matches, a .280 winning percentage,
including 12 rst-round losses. So when
asked his reaction upon hearing last
week that he would be facing Nadal,
Darcis smiled broadly and gave a one-
word answer unt for publication.
Then he added: When you see the
draw, of course you say, Ah, its bad
luck.
While Nadal was struggling, Federer
and Murray looked the way title con-
tenders are supposed to in the rst
round. Federer, the defending cham-
pion, needed all of 68 minutes to beat
48th-ranked Victor Hanescu of Romania
6-3, 6-2, 6-0 on Centre Court, as former
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice
looked on from the Royal Box.
Im happy to get out of there early
and quickly, Federer said. Perfect day.
In the most noteworthy womens
result, fth-seeded Sara Errani, the 2012
French Open runner-up, lost 6-3, 6-2 to
Puerto Rican teenager Monica Puig.
Maria Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon
champion, won in straight sets. So did
second-seeded Victoria Azarenka, but
not without a scare.
Azarenka twisted her right knee early
in the second set, leaving her tum-
bling to the grass and sobbing. After
about a 10-minute break while a trainer
wrapped Azarenkas knee, the two-time

Patrick Kane, whose
overtime goal in Game
6 beat Philadelphia to
win the 2010 champion-
ship, was voted the Conn
Smythe Trophy winner as
playoffs MVP.
Toews scored his third
goal of the playoffs to
tie it for the Blackawks
at 4:24 of the second of
Game 6 exactly two
minutes after teammate
Andrew Shaw was penal-
ized for roughing.
Boston, needing a
win to extend the series
to a deciding Game 7,
came out aggressively
and led 1-0 after one
period on Chris Kellys
second goal of the play-
offs. The Bruins outshot
the Blackhawks 12-6 in
the first period but the
margin dropped to 18-15
through 40 minutes.
Each team got one
of its best players back
when Toews and Boston
alternate captain Patrice
Bergeron returned to the
lineup after leaving the
Blackhawks 3-1 win with
injuries on Saturday.
Toews scored when he
got past Boston defense-
man Zdeno Chara along
the boards in the neutral
zone. Chicagos captain
skated up the right side
and fired a hard shot
from the right faceoff dot
that beat goalie Tuukka
Rask between his pads.
It was Toews second
goal in three games. Of
Chicagos last 10 goals,
Chara was on the ice for
nine.
Boston right wing
Jaromir Jagr was shaken
up in the first period. He
returned for the second
but left the bench, and
Tyler Seguin replaced
him on the second line
with left wing Brad
Marchand and center
Bergeron.
The play that led to
Kellys goal began after a
faceoff that rookie defen-
seman Torey Krug rushed
in to tip toward a team-
mate. The puck went to
Daniel Paille, standing
about 40 feet on the left.
He passed to Seguin, who
caught the puck with his
right glove in the slot and
dropped it.
Seguin then passed to
Kelly, who scored his sec-
ond goal of the playoffs
7:19 into the game.
It came just seven
seconds after a whistle
stopped a scrum in front
of the net that followed
an extended period of
pressure by the Bruins.
Just two minutes after
the goal, Chicago had
one of its best chances of
the period when Michal
Frolik skated in with the
puck behind the defense
and fired a 15-foot drive
from the left, but Rask
made the save.
Boston had another
solid chance at 12:24
when Milan Lucic took a
15-foot shot from the slot
that Crawford stopped.
After having no power
plays in Game 5, the
Bruins had four failed
advantages in the first
two periods.
With 4:01 left in the
first, Shaw was struck in
the face by a puck when
it deflected off the shaft
of his stick after Bostons
Shawn Thornton shot it.
He lay on the ice before
getting up and skating off
slowly.
Toews was on Chicagos
first shift of the game.
Bergeron had left Game
5 with an undisclosed
injury after playing just
49 seconds in the second
period.
Five of the last nine
Cup finals have gone
seven games, including
in 2011 when the Bruins
overcame a 3-2 series
deficit and won their
first championship since
1972 by winning Game 6
in Boston and Game 7 in
Vancouver.
In 2010, Chicago won
its first NHL title since
1961 on Patrick Kanes
overtime goal in Game 6
against the Philadelphia
Flyers. As they did this
year, the Blackhawks
won Game 5 to take a 3-2
series lead.
This years finals have
been extremely tight,
with three of the first
five games going to over-
time. Chicago won the
opener in three over-
times, then Boston won
2-1 in one extra period
and 2-0. The Blackhawks
regained home-ice advan-
tage with a 6-5 overtime

compression fracture in his back;
when he returned to full-time compe-
tition, Hamlin seemed to be a man
on a mission.
Hamlin has never missed the Chase
in his Cup career, and he had no inten-
tion of allowing his injury to be an
excuse to come up short this year.
His return race at Darlington was
an impressive runner-up nish to
Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Matt
Kenseth, and he followed it by nish-
ing fourth at Charlotte.
Then the air began to leak out of
his comeback tour with a 34th-place
nish at Dover, a 30th at Michigan
and then Sundays frustrating day.
Those Chase chances now?
Id have to have a lot of stuff go
my way, thats for sure, he said.
Were not gaining anything to 20th.
We need a lot of help and a lot of stuff
to go our way, honestly.
Hamlin then talked about his
wheelhouse portion of the sched-
ule coming up the fast, slick
tracks where he typically excels and
could make some noise again in his
championship bid.
Only problem? Were not run-
ning that strong, were not run-
ning as strong as the Chase guys
right now, he said. You have to
earn it. You cant just expect other
guys to make mistakes.
And thats the problem right now
with the No. 11 car, Hamlin said, and
not the fractured vertebra that kept
him out of the car and put him in this
hole.
Its an important distinction
because, when Hamlin was healing,
he said if he couldnt save the season
hed consider pulling the plug and
focus on getting his back 100 percent
healthy. That could involve surgery,
or rehabilitation, but it was an option
he tossed out there.
He was quick Sunday to dismiss
his back injury as the performance
problem.
I feel ne. Theres nothing that I
feel in the car that keeps me fromper-
forming better, he insisted. Missed
the setup a couple weeks and had bad
stuff happen. Its just frustrating
cant get a nish.
When asked if hes still consider-
ing getting out of the car this year,
Hamlin said its too soon.
Not until it absolutely cant hap-
pen, or even think about it, he said.
Really, like I said, my physical status
is not keeping me from performing
well. Its other things at this point.
Those other things are that Hamlin
doesnt believe his Toyota is at the
same performance level as JGRteam-
mates Kenseth and Kyle Busch. In
the six races hes been back, Kenseth
has a win and Busch has four top-six
nishes. While Hamlin was on the
same pace as his teammates when he
rst returned, he believes hes taken
a step back in the last few weeks.
Theyre performing better than
us, thats for sure, he said. Honestly,
thats the benchmark we need to set
ourselves at our teammates. We
should be able to run with them.
Weve been at the tail end of the trio
for the past couple of weeks.
But, you could argue for the rst
three weeks we were back, we were
the best car. Its circumstantial, you
get all emotional over a couple bad
weeks.
So Hamlin indeed has his work cut
out for him at those wheelhouse
tracks, beginning Saturday night at
Kentucky, where he nished third
last season. Then its off to Daytona,
where anything can happen, but
Hamlin is usually in the lead pack
of cars and in the mix for the win.
Then its New Hampshire, where hes
a two-time winner and has 10 top-10
nishes, and Indianapolis, where he
started from the pole and nished
sixth last year.
Hell head into this critical stretch
of the season with the same game
plan hes had since his return.
I dont think my strategy changes
at all, he said. I think I continue
to try to win every week and do all
I can, just trying to get a good nish
at this point.

Bowls
From page 1B
While the Pac-12 has
a slotted selection order,
Scott said the confer-
ence has mechanisms
in place to allow for ex-
ibility. Delany said the
Big Ten is not locking
in a selection order with
its bowl partners but
will have three tiers of
bowl games where teams
can be placed depending
on their regular-season
records.
Were working with
the bowls to create what
I would describe as a
process for selection and
approval by each bowl
subject to a series of
parameters, Delany said.
Were going to really
want different teams in
different bowls.
The agreements shufe
the postseason landscape
for both conferences.
The Big Ten replaces
the Big 12 in the Holiday
Bowl, where the Pac-12
already had an afliation.
The Fight Hunger Bowl
will have the Pac-12s
fourth selection after the
College Football Playoff,
which the Rose Bowl is a
part of, the Alamo Bowl
in San Antonio, Texas,
and the Holiday Bowl.
The Fight Hunger
Bowl, which is moving
from the San Francisco
Giants home at AT&T
Park to the 49ers future
stadium in Santa Clara
in 2014, had been sixth
in the Pac-12s rotation.
The Sun Bowl in El Paso,
Texas, was previously
fourth and will be moving
down.
Delany and other Big
Ten ofcials had talked
openly about playing
more postseason games
in California, a major
recruiting ground and
television market. The
Big 12 also plans to give
its bowl lineup a more
southern avor by add-
ing games in Florida and
Tennessee in the coming
weeks.
Scott said his focus in
negotiations with bowls
was about building mar-
kets that appeal to Pac-12
fans, many of whom live
in San Diego and the San
Francisco Bay Area. He
also wanted to build upon
established relationships
with bowls and confer-
ences.
We felt that we had
great bowl arrangements,
great partnerships in the
right markets for our
teams, for our fans, Scott
said. So we looked at this
process as one of optimiz-
ing our bowl arrange-
ments going forward. In
each the Holiday Bowl
and Kraft Fight Hunger
Bowl, we feel like weve
done that.
The Fight Hunger
Bowl has had tie-ins
with the Atlantic Coast
Conference, the service
academies and BYU over
the years. If BYU is eli-
gible this season, the
Cougars will play a Pac-
12 team in the nal Fight
Hunger Bowl played at
AT&T Park, one of base-
balls best venues but also
one that has odd sight-
lines and atmospheres
for football. If BYU is not
eligible, an ACC team is
next in line.
The conference com-
missioners said the bowls
pending relocation some
40 miles south to Levis
Stadium, the 68,500-seat
future home of the 49ers
that already has been
awarded the 2016 Super
Bowl, was a major factor
in elevating the games
status something bowl
ofcials had in mind when
they decided to make the
move.
Moving up was criti-
cal to us, Fight Hunger
Bowl executive director
Gary Cavalli said. Weve
had years where we were
sweating every night
wondering whether we
were going to get a team.
When we started this
game 12 years ago, I had
a lot of brown hair. And
now I have a little gray
hair.
The new agreements
solidify the Holiday
Bowls place in the upper
tier of each conferences
selection process.
Bruce Binkowski,
executive director of the
Holiday Bowl, said the
deal will have a strong
economic impact on the
San Diego area and help
answer any questions
potential sponsors had
about the events stabil-
ity. He said Bridgepoint
Education chose not to
renew its sponsorship
rights on the event a few
weeks ago and bowl of-
cials are searching for a
new partner.

Jockey Gary Stevens celebrates aboard Oxbow after winning the
138th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore in
May. Oxbow will be joined by the other Triple Crown race winners
fromthis year at Saratoga during a celebration of the tracks 150th
season.
Saratoga ready for 150th season
Chris Carola
Associated Press Writer
SARATOGA SPRINGS,
N.Y. All three win-
ners of this years Triple
Crown races will be in
town for this summers
season at Saratoga Race
Course, which is mark-
ing the 150th anniver-
sary of the rst thorough-
bred racing in Saratoga
Springs, the New York
Racing Association said
Monday.
Orb, Oxbow and Palace
Malice will be work-
ing out in Saratoga and
NYRA ofcials hope all
three will be entered in
the $1 million Travers
Stakes on Aug. 24. It
wasnt initially known
which races theyll run
during the 40-day meet,
which opens July 19 and
runs through Labor Day.
A NYRA ofcial said
all three are expected to
be stabled on the track
grounds by opening day.
All ran at Saratoga last
year as two-year-olds.
NYRA said the sea-
son will feature nearly
$15 million in purse
money. Among the other
top races, the $750,000
Whitney Invitational
Handicap will be run on
Aug. 3, the 150th anniver-
sary of the rst organized
thoroughbred races in
Saratoga.
The $600,000 Jim
Dandy Stakes is set for
July 27 and the Alabama
Stakes for Aug. 24, also a
$600,000 race.
NYRA will also be offer-
ing 45-minute paid walk-
ing tours of the track. The
cost will be $3 for individ-
uals and $10 for groups
of four. There will be no
tours on Travers Day, or
on Tuesdays when the
track is closed.
NYRA typically holds
its Saratoga preview news
conference in June at a
suburban Albany hotel,
but moved the event 30
miles north to the Fasig-
Tipton Sales Pavilion,
just down the street from
the historic track.
Last year the event
wasnt held at all as
NYRA dealt with tur-
moil that included the
ring of its president,
Charles Hayward. He
was dismissed that May
when state investiga-
tors accused NYRA of
knowingly overcharging
bettors by more than $8
million over a 15-month
period.
NYRA announced last
week that it has named
Christopher Kay as its
next president and CEO
as of July 1.
NFL suspends two for violations

Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim
Kelly speaks to reporters Monday about
his condition during his 26th annual Jim
Kelly Football Camp at the teams field
house in Orchard Park, N.Y. Kelly said he
is cancer-free and wont need radiation
or chemotherapy after having surgery to
remove part of his jawbone.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK New York Giants
free-agent wide receiver Brandon
Collins has been suspended with-
out pay for the rst four games of
the 2013 regular season for violat-
ing the NFL Policy and Program for
Substances of Abuse.
The NFL announced the sus-
pension of the rst-year player on
Monday.
The 24-year-old Collins will be eli-
gible to return to the Giants active
roster on Sept. 30, the day after the
team plays the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Southeastern Louisiana prod-
uct spent part of last season on the
Giants practice squad and will be
eligible to participate in all offseason
and preseason practices and games.
Collins had played well in the
recent veterans minicamp.
Colts receiver LaVon Brazill has
also been suspended by the NFL for
four games for violating the leagues
substance-abuse policy.
Neither the Colts nor the league
said what Brzill tested positive for.
He will be eligible to return to the
active roster following Indys game
Sept. 29 against Jacksonville, though
he will be eligible to practice at train-
ing camp and will be able to play in
all four preseason games.
As a rookie last season, Brazill had
11 receptions for 186 yards and one
touchdown.
Giants seeking Leach
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Fullback Vonta Leach says the New
York Giants have expressed an inter-
est in him.
During a radio interview on
Monday with SiriusXM NFL Radio,
Leach said the Giants called his
agents the day he was released by
the Super Bowl-champion Baltimore
Ravens.
The Giants plans at fullback took a
hit whenHenryHynoski suffereda knee
injury this spring and needed surgery.
Leach, who failed to agree on a
restructured contract with Baltimore,
earned Pro Bowl honors the past two
seasons with the Ravens. He had 21
carries for 67 yards and a touchdown
. He also had 36 catches for 212
yards.
The 31-year-old has played with
the Packers, Saints and Texans.
Everything is picking up here a
little more, Leach said. Well see
how this week goes.
No chemo for Kelly
BUFFALO, N.Y. Hall of Fame
quarterback Jim Kelly says he has
been told by doctors that he wont
need to undergo chemotherapy or
radiation treatment after having sur-
gery to remove cancerous cells in his
jaw.
The former Buffalo Bills star made
the announcement at his football
camp in Buffalo on Monday and his
comments were posted on the Bills
website.
Kelly says he found out the news
on Wednesday.
He says he had the left side of his
jaw and the teeth on that side of his
mouth removed in surgery on June
7. He was released from the hospital
three days later.
He says hes scheduled for a follow-
up with doctors in two months to see
if the cancer stays away.
Lions add Hope
ALLEN PARK, Mich. The
Detroit Lions have signed safety
Chris Hope. The teamannounced the
move Monday along with the release
of wide receiver Brian Robiskie.
Hope started 113 of 163 games
and had 20 career interceptions
over 11 seasons with Pittsburgh,
Tennessee and Atlanta. He started
in four games last season for the
Falcons and played in both of their
playoff games.
The Lions likely added Hope, a
Pro Bowl player in 2008, because
theyre not sure safety Louis Delmas
can stay healthy enough to be count-
ed on next season.
Robiskie had four receptions for
44 yards and a touchdown in six
games with the Lions last season.
He caught 39 passes for 441 yards
Malibu fght involving former
star Scottie Pippen investigated
The Associated Press
MALIBU, Calif. Former Chicago
Bulls star Scottie Pippen was questioned
Monday about a ght that occurred over
the weekend between him and an auto-
graph seeker outside a Malibu restau-
rant, authorities said.
Pippen came in voluntarily to a sub-
station after he was named as a suspect
in an investigation of an assault with
intent to commit great bodily injury, Los
Angeles County sheriff s ofcials said.
He was there for about an hour and was
released pending further investigation.
Hes being cooperative, sheriff s
spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
The victim was taking pictures inside
Nobu restaurant late Sunday while
Pippen, 47, dined with his family, said
sheriff s Capt. Patrick Davoren.
When Pippen went outside to the
parking lot, the man continued to take
pictures and sought the Hall-of-Famers
autograph, Davoren said.
An argument ensued that led to the
altercation, investigators said.
The man was taken to a hospital with a
head injury and was treated and released.
Investigators were interviewing sev-
eral witnesses who apparently saw what
transpired.
Right now its under investigation,
Whitmore said. We have to interview
everybody to nd out what happened.
Nobu has been a Malibu mainstay
for nearly 15 years and is frequented
by celebrities. The restaurant recently
moved to a beachfront location that
offers views of the Pacic Ocean from
nearly every seat.
Inducted into the Basketball Hall of
Fame in 2010, Pippen won six NBA titles
with Michael Jordan and the Chicago
Bulls and was on a list of the leagues 50
greatest players announced in 1996.
He is a special adviser to the teams
president and chief operating ofcer.
The Bulls declined to comment Monday.
Durant signs with Jay-Zs agency
Kevin Durant has become the rst NBA
star to sign with Jay-Zs Roc Nation agency.
Durant posted a photo on social media
Monday of himself and the rap mogul
with the paperwork. Jay-Z became certi-
ed as a representative by the NBA play-
ers association last week.

Championships on Sunday in Des Moines, Iowa. Gay won the race
in 19.74 seconds.
Gay leads US teaminto worlds
Pat Graham
AP Sports Writer
DES MOINES, Iowa Tyson Gay rarely, if ever, talks
trash and barely, if at all, speaks much higher than a whis-
per.
Hes far fromyour ordinary sprinter in that regard, prefer-
ring to let his performances on the track do his boasting.
Over the weekend, his races spoke loud and clear: The
Tyson Gay of old is back. Not only back, but possibly bet-
ter than ever.
Gay easily won the 100 and 200 meters at U.S. cham-
pionships, running season-leading times that are sure to
catch the attention of Usain Bolt in Jamaica.
It also proved that Gays surgically repaired hip is
indeed fully mended as he leads a youthful U.S. squad
into the world championships in Moscow in August.
I say this and I mean this: A healthy Tyson Gay wins
championships, his coach, Jon Drummond, said.
Over even Bolt?
Absolutely, Drummond said. Bolt respects Tyson
probably more than anyone. He knows Tyson is his erc-
est competitor.
Nationals werent just the Tyson Gay show. There were
quite a few unfamiliar names making headlines, like teen-
ager Mary Cain after her savvy second-place nish in the
1,500 meters earned her a spot on the world team.
Or the performance of 100 hurdler Brianna Rollins,
who nished in 12.26 seconds to break the American
record set by Gail Devers in 2000.
That wasnt it from the youngsters, either: Former
Oregon standout English Gardner won the 100 and
Kimberlyn Duncan, fresh off winning another NCAA
sprint title at LSU, beat Allyson Felix in the Olympic
champions signature event, the 200. Unknowns now, but
after Moscow it could be a different story.
All these new faces are great, former Olympic cham-
pion Maurice Greene said. The United States now is
about to start showing the rest of the world how good
we really are.
Actually, it pretty much started at the London Games,
when the U.S. captured 29 medals, the countrys big-
gest haul at a major meet since winning 30 at the 1992
Summer Games.
However, one of the individuals responsible for the
recent medal surge is departing USA Track and Field.
Benita Fitzgerald Mosley will leave her post as chief of
sport performance for a position with the U.S. Olympic
Committee. She stepped into her role four years ago,
when ousted CEO Doug Logan helped generate a
report termed Project 30, which was the number of
medals Logan thought the U.S. should aim for in 2012.

Miami Heat fans cheer on the Heat players during the celebration parade Monday in Miami.
Miami Heat celebrate
victory with parade
TimRenolds
APBasketball Writer
MIAMI The last piece of confetti had
landed, the Miami Heat championship cel-
ebration was ofcially over and many in
the crowd of revelers were starting to make
their way to the exits.
Players and coaches remained on the
stage.
They were in no hurry to leave. Every
member of the NBA champions stood and
watched a giant video board play highlights
of Miamis march through the playoffs, from
LeBron James MVP-caliber plays on both
ends to Ray Allens season-saving 3-pointer
in Game 6 of the NBA Finals and countless
moments in between.
Its a special group, Heat coach Erik
Spoelstra said. You know what? This sea-
son started over nine months ago with that
trip to China and we were able to experience
so many cool things together in the regular
season. But at times, it just seems to be
going by so fast.
So maybe thats why the Heat arent ready
to stop celebrating this title just yet.
With an estimated 400,000 people lining
the downtown Miami streets, the Heat held
their parade and an in-arena rally afterward
Monday. James stood atop a double-decker
bus with a cigar in his mouth for the parade.
Shane Battier blew kisses to the crowd,
Dwyane Wade raised three ngers aloft and
Chris Andersen apped his arms in a nod to
his Birdman moniker.
Its the ultimate, James told Sun Sports,
the Heat broadcast partner. Its the ulti-
mate. This is what I came down here, to be
able to have a parade at the end of the year.
Im extremely blessed, man. It doesnt get
any better than this.
Several players held super-soaker squirt
guns and sprayed water on fans, confetti dot-
ted the streets, and horns honked from all
directions. Heat managing general partner
Micky Arison and team president Pat Riley
stood in the front of one bus, while Spoelstra
his championship cap turned backward
waved and clapped at fans.
Miami parties better than any city in
the world, Spoelstra said. But it took nine
months, nine months of incredible sacrice,
not only by these men right here but every-
body in our organization, grinding it out
every single day, ups and downs, highs and
lows. And to have a culmination like Game 7
in front of all of you here is incredible.
Wade said that without the fans, Miami
wouldnt have found a way to win the title.
Its humbling. Its very humbling to be
here, Wade said, gazing out at the enor-
mous crowd. I envision a lot of things.
I cant say I envisioned this. This parade
down Biscayne Boulevard was once a vision
by Coach Riley and now weve taken this
ride three times. Its special.
When Riley got hired by the Heat, he
talked at his introductory news conference
about his vision of a parade down Biscayne
Boulevard. It took Riley until 2006 to deliver
on that hope, but now with three parades in
eight seasons, the Heat are getting used to
these celebrations.
Their names are going to be respected
and honored, Riley said. And thats all we
have. All we have is the name on the front of
the shirt, which is the Heat, and the name
on the back of the shirt. And thats why we
play.
Miami became the sixth franchise in NBA
history to win consecutive championships,
after topping the San Antonio Spurs in this
years nals for the third title overall for the
Heat franchise, needing a Game 7 to get it
done. Wade and Udonis Haslema Miami
native who said this is what its all about
are the only players to be part of all three
titles, and Wade insisted Monday that the
city is going to be his home now for good.
This is my home. Theyve treated me
well since Day One, Wade said. Ill be here
for probably the rest of my life in this amaz-
ing city. I thank the Miamians for accepting
me as one of their own.
Miami needed to win Games 6 and 7 of
the nals to capture the title, and needed a
huge late comeback in Game 6 just to force
the ultimate game.
Down by ve with less than a half-min-
ute left in regulation, James and Ray Allen
made 3-pointers Allens coming with 5.2
seconds left to force overtime, and the
Heat ultimately prevailed to get into Game
7.
I have to say that is the biggest shot I
ever hit in my career, Allen said.
Along the parade route, one vehicle car-
ried a number of uniformed military per-
sonnel. The Heat have honored military
members before every home game in Miami
for the past several seasons.
Police reported no major problems, and
bomb- and drug-snifng dogs were spotted
working their way through the crowd. City
ofcials banned fans from carrying back-
packs, though several were spotted along
the route and some people were searched
randomly for security reasons.
The huge crowds and parking difculty
did not seem to take away from the fans
celebratory mood.
Its the excitement of something that
doesnt come around too often, even though
weve been lucky to experience it two years
in a row, said Heat fan Blake Thames,
who made the trip down from Palm Beach
County.
Some fans began arriving before sunrise
Monday, and trafc into downtown was
extremely heavy as people hopedto get close
enough for a glimpse of the celebration.
It hasnt hit me yet, James said. This
is unbelievable to be a part of such a great
franchise and to be able to go back-to-back.
Players spent the weekend celebrating.
Some are planning to start vacations later
this week, while others will remain in South
Florida for at least a few more days.
All the fans that were seeing here is who
supported us throughout the whole season,
man, James said. This is the least we
could do is ride through the city and show
our appreciation.
NEW YORK Luxury retailer
Neiman Marcus plans to raise up to
$100 million from an initial public offer-
ing of its common stock.
That amount is likely to change,
though, as bankers gauge investor
interest. The plan to go public comes
about eight years after private equity
rms TPG Capital and Warburg Pincus
bought Neiman Marcus for $5.1 billion.
Neiman Marcus has beneted from
upscale shoppers that are willing to pay
more for its luxury goods. During the
recession Neiman Marcus was not as
hurt by the consumer spending pullback
as other retailers, because its upscale
shoppers suffered less in the poor econ-
omy.
Neiman Marcus wont receive any pro-
ceeds from the offering.
The Dallas company runs its name-
sake stores, Bergdorf Goodman, Cusp
and discount shops under the Last
Call brand. It opened its East Coast
Distribution Center in the CenterPoint
Commerce and Trade Park East in
Jenkins Township earlier this year.
About 150 jobs were created by the
opening.
Neiman Marcus Inc. did not disclose
how many shares would be offered, or
what the projected price range would
be. A regulatory ling by the company
also did not disclose what exchange it
expects to list the stock on or what tick-
er symbol it plans to use.
For scal 2012, Neiman Marcus had
net income of $140.1 million on revenue
of $4.35 billion. The retailer had net
income of $31.6 million and revenue of
$4 billion in scal 2011.
Earlier this month the company
reported that its scal third-quarter net
income increased 13 percent on stronger
sales, particularly online. Revenue from
its online business jumped 15 percent in
the period. Revenue from stores open
at least a year, considered a key indi-
cator of nancial performance because
it strips away the effects from recently
opened or closed stores, increased 3.6
percent.

NEW YORK Samsung is making
its tablet computers look more like
its hit Galaxy phones in the hope that
the success of the smartphones can
boost tablet sales.
Samsung Electronics Co., the
second-largest maker of tablets after
Apple, is putting three new tablets in
the Galaxy Tab 3 series on sale in the
U.S. on July 7. The cheapest, $199
device will have a screen that mea-
sures 7 inches diagonally. An 8-inch
model will go for $299 and a 10-inch
one for $399.
Our goal is to attract Galaxy
smartphone users, and to make it the
ultimate smartphone accessory, said
Shoneel Kolhatkar, director of prod-
uct planning at Samsung Mobile.
The Tab line is Samsungs value
brand, undercutting the price of
similar Apple models. Samsungs pre-
mium tablets are in the Note line,
which include styluses.
The new tablets have the same
three buttons on the front as the
Galaxy smartphones. Last years
Tab 2 had no physical buttons on
the front, as encouraged by Google,
which supplies the Android software.
The 10-inch model is the rst
Android-powered Samsung tablet to
use an Intel processor. Thats a signif-
icant win for the Santa Clara, Calif.,
chipmaker, which has been trying to
break into the market for cellphone
and tablet chips now that PC sales
are slumping.
Other smartphones and tablets run
chips made by a variety of compa-
nies, all based on designs from ARM
Holdings PLC, a British company.

NEW YORK Paula Deen lost
another part of her empire on Monday:
Smitheld Foods said it was dropping
her as a spokeswoman.
The announcement came days after
the Food Network said it would not
renew the celebrity cooks contract in
the wake of revelations that she used
racial slurs in the past.
Smitheld sold Paula Deen-branded
hams in addition to using her as a
spokeswoman. In a statement, the
company said it condemns the use of
offensive and discriminatory language
and behavior of any kind. Therefore,
we are terminating our partnership
with Paula Deen.
QVC also said it was reviewing its
deal with Paula Deen Enterprises to
sell the stars cookbooks and cookware.
QVC shares the concerns being
raised around the unfortunate Paula
Deen situation, QVC said in a state-
ment. We are closely monitoring
these events and the ongoing litiga-
tion. We are reviewing our business
relationship with Ms. Deen, and in
the meantime, we have no immediate
plans to have her appear on QVC.
Sears said the company is currently
exploring next steps as they pertain to
Ms. Deens products. Wal-Mart, which
sells Deens cookware, was expected to
have a statement later Monday.
The rapid downfall came after rev-
elations that 66-year-old Food Network
star admitted using racial slurs in the
past in a deposition in a discrimination
lawsuit. Deen was asked under oath if
she had ever used the N-word. Yes, of
course, 66-year-old Deen said, though
she added, Its been a very long time.
Deen insisted she and her family do
not tolerate prejudice, and in a vid-
eotaped apology, she asked fans and
critics alike for forgiveness. It had
been posted online for about an hour
when the Food Network released a
terse statement that it will not renew
Paula Deens contract when it expires
at the end of this month. The net-
work refused to comment further. Las
Vegas-based Caesars Entertainment
Corporation, which has Deens restau-
rants in some of its casinos, said Friday
that it will continue to monitor the
situation. Publisher Ballantine, which
has a new Deen book scheduled to roll
out this fall, used similar words.
Earlier Monday, NBCs Matt Lauer
said Deen would appear Wednesday
on Today. Last week she abruptly
canceled on the morning show before
posting her videotaped apologies.

Smithfield Foods on Monday said it was drop-
ping her as a spokeswoman just days after the
Food Network dumped the Southern comfort
food queen after she acknowledged using
racial slurs in the past.
Commission oks NYSE takeover
The European Commission on Monday approved
InterContinentalExchanges proposed $8.2 billion takeover of NYSE-
Euronext, saying the two are not direct competitors in most markets
and will continue to face strong competition from other exchanges.
ICE, based in Atlanta, Georgia, is best known as a commodities
marketplace. It announced its stock-and-cash offer for NYSE-Euronext,
valued at $33.12 per share, in December.
The deal will give ICE control of the New York Stock Exchange and
London-based Liffe, Europes second-largest derivatives market. The
combined ICE-NYSE Euronext is slated to become the third-largest
exchange group globally, behind Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing
and CME Group.
Tenet buying Vanguard for $1.8B
Tenet Healthcare Corp. plans to buy fellow hospital operator
Vanguard Health Systems Inc. for about $1.8 billion, in a deal that will
expand its reach into new markets as millions of patients start to gain
insurance coverage through the health care overhaul.
Tenet said Monday that it will pay $21 per share, a 70 percent pre-
mium to Vanguard Healths Friday closing price of $12.37.
The companies said the transaction also includes $2.5 billion in debt,
and they value the entire deal at $4.3 billion.
Dallas-based Tenet said Nashville, Tenn.-based Vanguard will help it
expand into several new markets. Vanguard runs 28 acute care and spe-
cialty hospitals in Texas, Massachusetts and major cities like Chicago,
Phoenix and Detroit.
The boards of both companies have unanimously approved the deal,
which is expected to close by the end of this year. After that, Tenet will
own 79 hospitals and 157 outpatient facilities. It currently has 49 hospi-
tals and 126 outpatient facilities.
Billionaires conviction upheld
The conviction of a onetime billionaire on insider trading charges
was upheld Monday by a federal appeals court that concluded the
government did not cheat to obtain permission to make its most
extensive use of wiretaps ever in such a case.
Lawyers for 56-year-old Raj Rajaratnam had argued on appeal that
the government improperly persuaded a judge in 2008 to permit a
wiretap to be placed on Rajaratnams cellphone. The wiretap was used
to record 2,200 private conversations by Rajaratnam, the founder of the
Galleon group of 14 hedge funds.
Several dozen of those conversations were played for the jury that
convicted him in 2011 of multiple counts of securities fraud and
conspiracy to commit securities fraud.

IN BRIEF
HealtH SECTI ON C
Have you ever admired the beautiful way a bal-
let dancer stands? Here are some tips to help you
maintain good posture on a daily basis, even with-
out taking dance classes:
Reposition your monitor:
Your computer monitor should be 1 to 2 feet away
from your face, and your eyes should be level with
the top of the monitor, said Janice Novak, author of
Posture, Get It Straight! Look Ten Years Younger,
Ten Pounds Thinner and Feel Better Than Ever.
This will prevent your head from leaning forward
and away from your shoulders.
Reposition yourself in your car while driving:
Move your seat close enough to the pedals
so that your knees are bent. A 90-degree angle
would be too bent, and anything more than 130
degrees would be too straight. (Make sure your
body is at least 13 inches away from the steering
wheel in case your air bag deploys.)
Your lower back should be against the back of the
seat. Sit in an upright or slightly reclining position.
Adjust the headrest so your head is actually resting
against it. This position places your head directly
over your spine and allows your neck and upper
back muscles to relax while you drive.
Finally, when holding the steering wheel, your
elbows should be bent at 120 degrees.

old diaper, carefully folded it and then fastened a

Meanwhile, 13-year-old Jenna Rapach of

Little girls playing with dolls? Hardly.

AKRON, Ohio For
Chris Blackwell, the arriv-
al of one special therapist
during his four-hour dialy-
sis sessions is truly music
to his ears.
When Akron Childrens
Hospital music thera-
pist Sarah Tobias visits
him every week or two,
the constant whoosh-
ing sounds of the dialy-
sis machine are replaced
with the strumming of her
guitar and the soothing
blending of their voices.
On a recent morning,
Blackwell smiled and
tapped his feet in the dial-
ysis chair as he sang along
with Tobias to the catchy
song, Somebody That I
Used to Know.
All my life, I liked to
use music as a way to
release, said Blackwell,
19, of Canton, Ohio. Its
depressing being in this
chair so long at my age.
Music therapy is one of
several supportive servic-
es Akron Childrens pro-
vides for free to patients,
families and staffs
through its Emily Cooper
Welty Expressive Therapy
Center.
Along with Tobias, the
center employs a full-time
art therapist and con-
tracts with area poets and
experts in theater, dance,
pottery, jewelry-making
and other genres to pro-
vide a variety of experi-
ences.
Since the center opened
in May 2011, the program
has offered services to
thousands of patients.
Its music and its art,
but its really any sort
of creative therapy that
would be helpful to any
particular child, said
Dr. Sarah Friebert, medi-
cal director of the hos-
pitals Haslinger Family
Pediatric Palliative Care
Center. Different kids
respond to different types
of therapy.
Hospitals typically cant
bill insurance companies
for these and similar sup-
port services, she said.
Akron Childrens seeks
donations and grant sup-
port to fund the $240,000
annual budget for expres-
sive therapies.
We rely on philan-
thropy and kind-hearted
people, Friebert said.
More research is needed
Dialysis patient Chris Blackwell, 19, is all smiles while visiting with
Akron Childrens Hospital music therapist Sarah Tobias.

Cheryl Powell
Akron Beacon Journal
Music therapist soothes patients with her song
to support the mounting
evidence to show these
types of therapies are
very helpful treatments to
complement mainstream
health care, she said.
Music therapy, for
example, can be used to
manage stress, alleviate
pain, express feelings,
enhance memory, improve
communication and help
with physical rehabilita-
tion, according to the
American Music Therapy
Association. Its just not
recognized yet by insur-
ance companies that this
is a valuable piece of the
holistic healing puzzle,
Friebert said. We all
know that when you are
engaged in something cre-
atively, you are using dif-
ferent parts of your brain.
It also touches your soul
and your spirit.
Tobias, who has degrees
in psychology and music
therapy, joined Akron
Childrens about a year
ago as the hospitals full-
time music therapist.
I get to be a counselor,
but I also get to be a musi-
cian and use the music to
facilitate the counseling
session, she said.
Some patients need to
get it all out by bang-
ing on a drum, she said.
Others improve their
range of motion to help
with their occupational or
physical therapy by play-
ing a small harp.
In Blackwells case,
Tobias started working
with him in the dialysis
unit about six months ago
after he asked whether the
hospital had anyone to
help him learn to play the
guitar.
The instrument was
a gift from the family of
a former fellow patient
whose father played gui-
tar while Blackwell sang
along to pass the time
when they had treatments
each week. Since then,
the patient has received a
transplanted kidney and
no longer needs dialysis.
Blackwell must under-
go dialysis at the hospi-
tal three times a week
until he gets a kidney
transplant. His jam ses-
sions with Tobias often
draw the attention of
fellow patients and staff
members who stop in
the doorway outside his
room to listen.
You should go on
American Idol, Carolyn
Kovatch, a medical assis-
tant in the unit, said after
listening to them on a
recent morning.
Blackwell responded
with an appreciative laugh
and a wide, infectious grin
that lit up his face.
Im thinking about it
after my transplant,
he said. After singing
one song with Blackwell,
Tobias read the lyrics
line by line as they talked
about the meanings.
Just praying to a God

that I dont believe in, she
said. Tell me about that
line.
We all get to a point in
our lives when we fall to
our knees and just pray,
he said. Desperation, she
said, nodding. I havent
thought of it that way.
The line opened up a dis-
cussion about Blackwells
faith and how he has been
coping with his serious
illness. Its a safe way to
talk about what theyre
feeling, Tobias said after
their session.
When his medical prob-
lems are behind him,
Blackwell wants to draw
on his experiences and
love of music to become a
worship leader.
I love being an inspira-
tion to others, he said.
It energizes me.
Freshlemonade is so muchmore vividthan
the supermarket stuff, much more about the
lemon and less about the sugar.
Yes, juicing lemons can be a pain, but the
process becomes very near painless if you
start by softening the lemons in the micro-
wave for 30 seconds. Then all you do is add
sugar syrup a mixture of sugar and water,
heated until the sugar is dissolved and
some cold water. Done.
In short, its hard to top fresh lemonade all
by itself. Still, for those so inclined, there are
plenty of ways to gild this lily. You can infuse
the sugar syrup with fresh herbs. You can add
seltzer. You can combine it with other fruit
juices, including cranberry, apple and pome-
granate. Or you can glorify it with avor-
packed ice cubes.
Weve dressed up this lemonade with three
different kinds of cubes watermelon, coco-
nut and blueberry for holiday aesthet-
ics, electrifying avor aside and an almost
absurd health factor. Every glass contains a
half-cup each of blueberries and watermelon.
Watermelon is an excellent source of vitamin
Cand a good source of A, as well as lycopene,
potassium and magnesium. Blueberries are
packed with antioxidants, vitamin C and
ber. And as for coconut milk, everyone
knows fruit and coconut go together like re-
works and the Fourth of July.

RED, WHITEANDBLUELEMONADE
Start to nish: 25 minutes, plus freezing
Servings: 6
3 cups cubed seeded watermelon (the red-
der the better)
3 cups cleaned and rinsed fresh blueberries
3/4 cup well-stirred lite coconut milk
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1 cup fresh lemon juice
Fresh mint leaves, to garnish
In a blender, puree the watermelon until
it becomes liqueed. Pour the watermelon
liquid into ice cube trays (you should have
enough liquid for twelve 2-tablespoon cubes).
Rinse out the blender, add the blueber-
ries and puree until the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the blueberry puree to another ice
cube tray. In a third tray, divide the coconut
milk between 6 cubes.
Transfer all of the trays to the freezer and
freeze until solid, preferably overnight.
In a small saucepan over medium heat,
combine the sugar and water and cook, stir-
ring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved.
Let cool.
In a pitcher combine 1/2 cup of the sugar
syrup with the lemon juice. Add 3 cups of
cold water, then taste and add additional
sugar syrup if desired. Chill until ready to
serve.
To serve, place 2 watermelon cubes, 2 blue-
berry cubes and 1 coconut cube in each of 6
rocks glasses. Top the glasses with lemonade,
then garnish with mint. Let sit for 10 or so
minutes to allow the cubes to melt slightly
and avor the lemonade.

Owning a cane, wheelchair or
walker is a little bit like owning a
car, said Brad Barnhart, a physical
therapist at North Oaks, a senior
living community in Pikesville, Md.
Skip maintenance, and it could lead
to unsafe conditions. Barnhart, with
more than 25 years of experience in
senior-living settings, provides some
tips on keeping medical devices in
good shape.
Q: How often do you see
patients who arent maintaining
their cane, walker, wheelchair or
other medical device, and howbig
of a problem is it?
A: Like any mechanical device,
with use, canes, walkers and wheel-
chairs may need adjustment of bro-
ken or bent parts. So we are constant-
ly on alert to notice how the assistive
devices are working. We rely on any
source of information this can be
the patient, family or companions
that something seems different or
doesnt feel right.
Q: What kinds of safety prob-
lems does it cause when these
devices arent maintained?
A: If the device isnt working prop-
erly, it may take extra energy to get
around. A poorly adjusted cane or
walker can affect body alignment and
result in pain. Of even more concern
is the risk of falls and injury if the
height adjuster on a cane or walker
slips.
Besides requiring extra energy,
worn bearings can cause a wheel-
chair to steer to one side or anoth-
er. Or worn brakes could allow the
wheelchair to slide out of position
when the patient attempts to sit or
stand. Worn or missing cane tips can
allow them to slip on smooth or wet
surfaces. Worn skis on walkers can
catch on carpet and result in a fall.
Q: What is the worst accident
youve seen because a patient
didnt maintain the wheelchair,
walker or cane?
A: Falling is the greatest risk, but
ill-adjusted devices can create body
aches and irritations. A cane that
slips or brakes that fail can cause
injury to the patient or to someone
nearby.
Q: How often should these
devices be maintained?
A: Rarely is there a recognized
maintenance schedule. In general,
greater maintenance results in better
safety and greater service life. It is
like a car if you never change the
oil, or wait for the brakes to fail, it
wont last nearly as long, and repairs
will be more expensive than if prob-
lems are addressed immediately.
The device should be looked at by
an expert whenever there is a change
in operation or how it feels. Listen
to someone who raises a question
or notices something dont wait a
month to get it looked at. Are there
squeaks or funny noises? Is it more
difcult to handle? Does the walker
go forward just ne, but not back-
ward? These are all signs that some-
thing needs adjustment. Ultimately,
every device has a useful service
life; they wont last forever. At some
point, adjustments and parts replace-
ment no longer make sense get a
new one. In most cases, Medicare
and insurance plans will cover the
cost of a replacement after a reason-
able period of use.
Q: What kind of maintenance
should be done on these devices?
A: The most common sorts of
repairs involve cane tips, walker skis
and brake adjustments on rollators
and wheelchairs. Patients can usually
go back to the place where the device
was obtained to have them look at it.
Take advantage of tune-up clinics.
Many adjustments and parts can be
adjusted or replaced very easily and
inexpensively.

BLAUM
BREAST CARE
SPECIALIST, LLC
New Bridge Center | 480 Pierce Street
Kingston, PA 18704 | Phone: 570.714.3911
So You Have Been Diagnosed with BREAST CANCER Now What?
Dr. Louis Blaum with student Krishani Patel
Ask questions, lots of questions. For
starters, you need to choose a surgeon. A
credentialed Breast Surgeon. Anything or
anyone short of that, in my view is less
than comprehensive in the total care of the
breast.
Breast Surgery is a specialty which requires
many years of training, as well as many
hours of testing and study in order to meet
the rigorous criteria mandated by the Amer-
ican Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBS),
in order to be CERTIFIED. Certifcation in
Breast Ultrasound, Stereotactic Needle Biop-
sies of the breast and profciency in Breast
Surgery Techniques are vital in an effort to
offer complete, comprehensive treatment
to patients. So, is your choice for a surgeon
important? Does documented certifcation
and experience matter? YOU BET IT DOES!
Information is power. Information is the
ability to make the best choices.
In keeping with his pioneering spirit and
ever increasing thirst for knowledge,
Certifed Breast Surgeon, Dr. Louis Blaum,
Jr. of BLAUM Breast Care Specialist, LLC
continues to lead the feld in offering the
best comprehensive treatments and techno-
logical advancements to his patients in the
Wyoming Valley and surrounding areas.
BRACHY THERAPY is one of those
technological advancements. It is used for
patients who need radiation treatment to
their breast. The beauty of this treatment
option is that instead of the usual 6 weeks
for traditional breast radiation, with
Brachy Therapy it is 5 days. Radiation is
administered by the radiation doctors to the
effected breast, through a balloon catheter,
which is inserted in the breast by Dr.
Blaum, in our offce.
Although not all breast cancer patients
will qualify. For those patients that need
a lumpectomy or partial mastectomy and
meet the necessary criteria, it is an encour-
aging treatment option.
Dr. Blaum is accepting new patients and
new patient referrals. Please contact his
offce at 570-714-3911 should you have any
breast treatment concerns, or need a second
opinion. Offce hours by appointment.
PEACE OF MIND...VICTORY thru FAITH
and COURAGE. One Patient at a Time.
Breast Cancer, words no one wants to hear, but
those who have, there is a new procedure, to
recieve your Radiation Therapy. The Contura
MLB Brachy Therapy Catheter. Simply put in
cuts the radiation therapy from 5 days a week for
6 or 7 weeks to 2 times a day for 5 days. Of course
there are restrictions but if you qualify, the
procedure is easy. After lumpectomy surgery the
balloon catheter is inserted in the cavity. Radia-
tion is delivered through the catheter and does
not touch your skin (inside or outside). no chance
of burns, or skin irritation. It takes minutes for
your therapy and after 5 days the balloon cath-
eter is removed. The incision is small and visually
covered with a band aid. You can also carry on
as usual, the catheter does not limit activity,
nor ability to wear clothing. If you survive the
lumpectomy, this procedure is far less than that.
Early detection is the key, dont wait as you may
miss the opportunity to try this procedure.

BASIC
TIPS FOR A
BABYSITTER
Always wash your
hands after changing
a diaper and before
you prepare food for a
child. Also, dont for-
get to wash the childs
hands before he eats.
Understand child
development so you
wont expect a young-
ster to behave the way
a more mature person
would.
Know how to
entertain a child in
age-appropriate ways.
Let snack time
and meal time be
separate from play
time so the child wont
laugh and increase the
chance of choking.
Learn basic frst
aid.
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Young teens listen attentively during a babysitting class at the Hazleton General Hospital.
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Julia Snyder, 13, of Sugarloaf Township practices diapering a doll
during a babysitting class at the Hazleton Gerneral Hospital.
at different stages of devel-
opment, applying frst-aid
and knowing when to call
a back-up adult for help.
If a child wakes up cry-
ing from a nightmare? You
can offer assurance every-
thing is all right, maybe
even lie down next to him
or her for a while.
If a child doesnt want
to go to bed? You can
make a game out of but-
toning pajamas and read a
favorite story.
If a child has a toileting
accident? You can clean
it up, making sure not to
scold or tease.
The teens talked about
those situations with
their adult instructors and
agreed they could handle
similar challenges on their
own.
But what if a child fell
from a swing, hit his head
and was knocked uncon-
scious? What if he was
turning blue? Or wheez-
ing?
In a potentially life-
threatening case, youd
call 911, explain who and
where you are and stay on
the phone.
Does anyone know
what a seizure is? asked
Suzanne Diehl, an emer-
gency-room nurse.
When theyre moving
uncontrollably, one girl
answered.
Yes, Diehl said, and
thats another time to call
911.
For situations that are
less critical, its advisable
to call a back-up adult.
And, for times when
the children need to be
cajoled away from their
fear of the dark or their
desire to tease a sibling,
it helps to know how to
distract them, perhaps
using a song as a game or
even turning a chore into
a game.
Wouldnt you rather do
something thats more of a
game? instructor Laura
Jones asked.
The teens nodded in
agreement.
Several of them said
during a break they are
hoping to fnd work as
babysitters; others said
they already have some
experience.
I watch my neighbors
little boy. We met at the bus
stop, Hailey Andrejco, 13,
of Weatherly said, explain-
ing it helps that her 8-year-
old brother is close to the
child in age and they can
play together.
The Safe-Sitter pro-
gram was founded by Dr.
Patricia A. Keener, a pedi-
atrician and neonatologist
from Indiana, in response
to the unfortunate death
of a colleagues child.
Since it was established
in 1980, the not-for-proft
program has introduced
more than 600,000 adoles-
cents at 900 sites to tech-
niques for being an effec-
tive and safety-conscious
babysitter.
As the instructors
pointed out last week, the
course discusses safety
for the sitter as well as
the young charges, includ-
ing advice about not let-
ting strangers into the
employers home, not
posting information or
photos about the children
or the fact that you are
babysitting them online,
and about getting your-
self away someone who
might try making sexual
advances.
Its important to have
a safety signal, the
instructors said, explain-
ing it could be one simple
word a concerned babysit-
ter might text to her own
parent to communicate
she needed to be picked
up immediately, no ques-
tions asked.

NEW YORK Carson
better stock up on the
Pinot Noir: Sideways
star Paul Giamatti will be
a guest star on Downton
Abbey in its upcoming
4th season, it was
announced Monday.
According to a news
release from Carnival
Films, Masterpiece and
PBS, the Emmy- and
Golden Globe-winning
actor, perhaps best known
for his role as a schlumpy
wine snob in Alexander
Paynes Oscar-winning
lm, will star as Harold,
Coras maverick, playboy
brother in the season
nale.
Its the latest surprising
casting news for the
costume drama, which
will look quite different
when it returns to PBS on
Jan. 14.
Following the departure
of series regulars Dan
Stevens, Jessica Brown
Findlay and Siobhan
Finneran, Downton
Abbey will welcome a
crop of new cast members
that includes Dame Kiri
Te Kanawa, Tom Cullen,
Julian Ovenden, Nigel
Harman, Joanna David
and Gary Carr.
Giamatti will appear
alongside Shirley
MacLaine, also slated
to return in season 4
following a brief guest
role in Season 3.
Were excited that Paul
Giamatti will be joining
us on Downton to play
Coras brother Harold, the
rather free-spirited uncle
to Mary and Edith, said
Gareth Neame, Carnival
Films managing director.
We cant wait to see him
work alongside Shirley
MacLaine, who are
both sure to upset the
Granthams apple cart in
this years nale.
Giamatti is no stranger
to period drama, having
won an Emmy for
playing the title role
in the acclaimed HBO
miniseries John Adams.

The Tyler Health
Partnership recently pre-
sented a $6,000 check to
Tyler Memorial Hospital
for conducting a recent
shingles vaccination clin-
ic for Wyoming County
residents. Almost 40 local
residents received the vac-
cination at no cost during
the one-day clinic. The
event was a follow-up to a
two-day vaccination clinic
held in November, where
more than 60 individuals
received the shingles vac-
cine. By partnering with
Tyler Memorial, the part-
nership covered the cost of
the vaccines for that clinic
as well for at total dona-
tion of more than $10,000.

Dear Friends,
It is with great sadness and regret that I am writing to inform you that I will no longer
be seeing patients as of June 28, 2013 at my ofce. It has been a privilege and great
honor to have been your dentist. One of my professional goals has been to treat my
patients with kindness, respect and professionalism. Giving up that opportunity here
in Wyoming Valley is very disappointing to me.
The continued excellent care for my patients is of paramount importance to me.
I have given this a great deal of thought. To that end, I have asked Dr. Jason G.
Nataupsky to continue to treat my patients here in my ofce. Dr. Nataupsky has all
the qualities and values that I admire and is committed to the same high standard of
dental care for you and your families.
His goal will always be to see that you have excellent dental health. He will continue
to treat you as individuals, listening carefully to your needs. He is very conservative
in his approach to treatment but is extremely comprehensive and thorough. He will
respect your time and concerns in a friendly and relaxed environment.
Appointments can be made by calling the same phone number that you know:
570-829-7863.
Dr. John Hosage will only be available in his Mt. Top Ofce, 227 S. Mountain Blvd., Mr.
Zs Shopping Plaza. Appointments can be made there by calling 570-474-9231.
I strongly urge you to take advantage of these opportunities to continue your care
with these ne dentists. Thank you again for the privilege of being your dentist.
Sincerely,
Steven A. Bonomo, D.D.S

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 have a
problem, and I dont
know what to do
about it.
I am a childless
man, but I have
owned my dog for
12 years. I work from
home and we are together constantly.
Abby, he is the joy of my life.
My problem is I live in constant
fear of losing him. I know it will
break my heart, and Im not sure I
can deal with it.
I know hes just a dog, but he has
been my kid for all this time. Do you
have any advice for me?
Afraid of the Loss
Dear Afraid: I understand. I doubt
there is any pet owner who hasnt had
one special departed pet who lives on
forever in his or her heart.
My advice to you is to not spoil one
more precious second you have with
your dog by worrying about what will
eventually happen. You knew going
in that your dog would have a certain
life span.
When the time comes, talk to your
veterinarian about support groups in
which you can share your feelings.
And dont be surprised when you find
out you are one of many.
Dear Abby: I have this co-worker,
Sam, who is no longer performing
100 percent at work. It started shortly
after he moved out of town and he
was forced to start commuting. He
doesnt allow enough time for it and
he ends up being late to work.
Lately I have noticed that he has
also started to slack off on his daily
tasks. Hell sit down, prepare to do
something, then get up and disappear
for 20 to 25 minutes. Hell come back
for a few minutes, then disappear
again. I dont know where hes going.
All I know is we generally have to
pick up the slack.
Is this something I should report
to my managers? I feel its unfair that
Sam gets paid for the same amount
of time that I do, while Im doing my
work at full capacity and hes putting
in less than half.
Frustrated Co-Worker in Illinois
Dear Frustrated: If it wont have a
negative impact on your job ratings,
you and the others on your shift
should stop picking up the slack. It
will become apparent to your manag-
ers that hes not doing his share, and
he will cook his own goose.
Dear Abby: When I was 11, I lived
with my dad and stepmom. My
14-year-old brother lived with our
grandparents in another town, but
they would visit.
After one visit, as they were leav-
ing, my grandmother said, Come
here and give your brother a kiss and
tell him you love him. My brother
and I looked at each other and, in
typical kid fashion, said, YUCK!!
Abby, I never saw my brother
again. He died the next week from a
congenital brain aneurism.
It taught me a lesson. The words
we say to our loved ones should be
sweet, because they may be the last
words from us they will ever hear. My
brother died 55 years ago and I miss
him still.
Still Missing Him
Dear Still Missing Him: Please ac-
cept my sympathy. The life lesson
you learned from your brothers death
was important. I am sorry it is one
you had to learn at such a tender age.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Man battles the constant fear of eventually losing his beloved pet dog
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
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
want to help a friend but are not
sure quite how to accomplish
this. Start by asking the magic
words, Is there anything I can
do to make you feel better?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
think its cute when children
have an overblown idea of their
current capabilities, but this
quality is far less adorable in
adults. Work with the straight
shooters.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In order
to stay open to the flood of
intuition that could enter your
decision-making at any moment,
agree not to rely solely on the
navigation of your mind and
logic.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
have the opportunity to bring
your work to a new crowd or
mingle outside of your usual
setting. This is not to be missed.
Dont worry about fitting in, its
better that you dont.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You sense
that much is riding on your deci-
sions, and youre right. So even
though it would be easier to act
impulsively, youll take time to
reflect on issues that have far-
reaching consequences.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being
well-informed on a subject can
give you a narrower vision of it
than someone who knows little.
Instead of taking an intellectual
approach, invite whimsy and
wonder to inform you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When
doubt pulls at you like a rip tide,
dont try and struggle against
it. Instead agree, Yes, maybe I
wont be able to do this, but Im
going to try anyway.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People
who live carefully considered
lives wouldnt make some of the
choices youve made, but many
of those choices worked out bril-
liantly in spite of being impulsive.
Follow your next instinct.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Waiting for inspiration or motiva-
tion will prove to be a waste of
time. Move even when you are
not motivated, and youll get the
same good result as if you had
moved when you were.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Is
there something you could do
to alleviate the pressure on you
lately? For instance, cancel an
appointment or sell something
that requires more maintenance
than it is worth. Simplification
leads to happiness.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
wont always make the kind of
impression you want to make,
but you often make an unintend-
ed good impression when youre
not even trying. It all evens out
in the end.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youll
be guided by a profound curios-
ity. To get to know someone, ask
vague and open-ended ques-
tions. What a person wants to
talk about will tell you more than
you could learn with specific
questions.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (June 25).
Your optimism is attractive, and
new relationships will spark up in
July. Research and investigation
will flourish in August, and youll
settle a mystery. Good fortune
comes through your efforts to
entertain others in September
and December. Your lucky num-
bers are: 4, 11, 24, 39 and 30.
