The dirty business
of using ‘bath salts’
Authorities throughout area
warn that cocaine substitute
has dangerous consequences
By EDWARD LEWIS

Law enforcement in North-
eastern Pennsylvania is growing
increasingly concerned over a
product marketed as “bath salts”
that’s being used as an alterna-
tive to cocaine.
These bath salts are not the
typical crystals sold in the soap
and lotion aisle of a beauty store.
This product is marketed mostly
in head shops
and gas stations

explained.
Adverse effects of bath salts,
according to the National Insti-
tute on Drug Abuse, include ex-
treme paranoia, hallucinations,
rapid heart rate, suicidal
thoughts, disorientation, insom-
nia and kidney failure.
It is causing headaches for law
enforcement with reports of peo-
ple wanting to harm themselves
or others, or causing disturbanc-
es in public.
Recent local incidents include:
• A state police criminal com-
mander said troopers recently
encountered a man who had dis-
robed and threatened to harm
himself while running in traffic
on the Nanticoke-West Nanti-
coke Bridge.
• Scranton police believe Ryan
Foley, 25, was high on bath salts

Klein, who graduated from

Klein was always a fan of SNL
and its actors.
“Comedy in general I loved as a

thought it was what I was going to

Former West Pittston officer
Joseph Campbell sentenced
on five counts of theft.
By SHEENA DELAZIO
sdelazio@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – A former
West Pittston police officer was
sentenced Friday to three to 12
months in county prison on
charges he took money from a
drug and alcohol program he
was supposed to teach at a lo-
cal school district.
Joseph Campbell, 49, of
Wyoming, was sentenced on
five counts of theft by Luzerne
County Senior Judge Joseph
Augello, and also received 7½
years of probation.
“He was in a position of
trust,” Assistant District Attor-
ney Samuel Sanguedolce said
Friday. “And he committed a
theft during each school year.”
Campbell, represented by at-
torney Peter Loftus, was found
guilty of the charges by a jury
at a February trial.
Loftus said his client is deep-
ly sorry for his actions and that
he temporarily “stepped out of
character.” Loftus also said
Campbell has helped hundreds
of thousands of children by pre-
senting the DARE (Drug Abuse
Resistance Education) pro-
gram, and is not at risk to reof-
fend.
Campbell, who was terminat-
ed from the West Pittston Po-
lice Department on Nov. 12,
was charged in February 2010
after an investigation by the
District Attorney’s Office.
County detectives alleged
that Campbell received nearly
$20,000 in DARE funds for
classes he did not teach at
Wyoming Area High School.

Secretary Robert Gates’
final visit to Russia as a member of
President Barack Obama’s Cabinet
comes as the military powers struggle
to find common ground on a missile
defense shield in Europe.
Gates pushed back his departure to
today , a day later than planned, to
remain in Washington and keep tabs on
the developing situation in Libya,
where the U.S. and its allies began
military operations to enforce a U.N.
no-fly zone.
Moscow helped open the door for
action by not blocking the U.N. Securi-
ty Council resolution — a move that
defense officials said reflected the
broader spirit of cooperation between
the nations.
Gates’ visits to St. Petersburg and
Moscow will be especially poignant for

Militants fire mortar shells
Palestinian militants in Gaza fired

Also Saturday, Hamas police beat
reporters and news photographers
covering a rally in Gaza City, drawing a
stiff condemnation from the reporters’
association.
Israel invaded Gaza two years ago to
put a stop to daily rocket barrages by

U.S. Marshals Service spokesman
Jeff Carter said the 22-year-old woman

sent to the U.S. consulate in Nigeria

EGYPTIAN ELECTION
Hundreds line up to vote
By MAGGIE MICHAEL

Associated Press
CAIRO — Eager for their first taste of
a free vote in decades, Egyptians lined
up by the hundreds Saturday to vote on
constitutional amendments sponsored
by the ruling military that critics fear
could propel the country’s largest Isla-
mist group to become Egypt’s most
dominant political force.
The nationwide referendum is the
first major test of the country’s transi-
tion to democracy after a popular up-
rising forced longtime leader Hosni
Mubarak to step down five weeks ago,
handing the reins of power to the mil-
itary.
Underscoring the tensions beneath

Back home, his message was all but

hamed ElBaradei and a group of his
supporters with rocks, bottles and cans
outside a polling center at Cairo’s Mo-
kattam district.
ElBaradei, who also was the former
head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog
agency, wasn’t injured but was forced to
flee in an SUV without casting his bal-
lot. The crowd also smashed the car
windows and shouted, “You traitor. We
don’t want you.” ElBaradei supporters
at the scene countered by chanting“we
want you.”
The Nobel laureate later tweeted
that “organized thugs” were to blame
for the attack. In a second Twitter post-
ing, he said figures from the Mubarak
regime were seeking to undermine the
revolution, a reference to the uprising
that ousted the former leader.

turnout, with lines forming before polls
opened and snaking along the streets in
Cairo and other cities. Men and women
stood in separate lines as is customary
in the conservative and mainly Muslim
nation.
The vote promises to be the freest in
Egypt since the 1952 ouster of the mon-
archy. Egypt has since been ruled by
men of military background, with fraud
and low turnout defining every nation-
wide vote.
“This is a historic day for Egypt,”
Deputy Prime Minister Yahya al-Gamal
said after casting his vote. “I had never
seen such large numbers of voters in
Egypt. Finally, the people of Egypt have
come to realize that their vote counts.”
Voters were asked to choose ’yes’ or
’no’ for the whole package of nine
changes.

Serbs and Croats that claimed 260,000
lives and drove another1.8 million people

Christopher also gave top priority to
supporting reform in Russia and expand-
ing U.S. economic ties to Asia.
While Christopher often preferred a be-
hind-the-scenes role, he also made news
as deputy secretary of state in the Carter
administration, conducting the tedious
negotiations that gained the release in
1981 of 52 American hostages in Iran.
In private life, Christopher also served.
Among many other things, he chaired a

Work on
9/11 site is
building
momentum
Six months remain until the
national memorial opens at
ground zero.
By DAVID B. CARUSO
Associated Press
NEW YORK — The noise at
ground zero is a steady roar. En-
gines hum. Cement mixers
churn. Air horns blast. Cranes, in-
cluding one that looks like a giant
crab leg, soar and crawl over ev-
ery corner of the 16-acre site.
For years, the future has been
slow to appear at the site of the
Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. But with
six months remaining until the
national 9/11 memorial opens,
the work to turn a mountain of
rubble into some of the inspiring
moments envisioned nearly a
decade ago is thundering for-
ward.
One World Trade Center, oth-
erwise known as the Freedom
Tower, has joined the Manhattan
skyline. Its steel frame, already
clad in glass on lower floors, now
stands 58 stories tall and is start-
ing to inch above many of the sky-
scrapers that ring the site. A new
floor is being added every week.
The mammoth black-granite
fountains and reflecting pools
that mark the footprints of the
fallen twin towers are largely fin-
ished, and they are a spectacle.
Workers have already begun test-
ing the waterfalls that will ulti-
mately cascade into a void in the
center of each square pit. The pla-
za that surrounds them has the
potential to be one of the city’s
awesome public spaces once con-
struction is complete. Some 150
trees have already been planted
in the plaza deck, even as workers
continue to build it.

his battle with lung cancer in

“It’s about spreading the

Kearney mentioned the most
common piece of litter was ei-
ther a soda can or bottle.
In their mission statement,
the foundation’s goal is “to in-
troduce Art through its history,
culture, symbolism, expression
and individuality to young peo-
ple. The JSF provides a safe and
supportive environment where
young people can have a hands-
on artwork experience, focusing
on the creativity of the individu-
al. Our founders believe that
creating room for young people
to grow in this setting will al-
low them to become more gift-
ed students, eventual teachers
and inspired people. The JSF
strives to support communities
currently lacking in creative art
programs by providing instruc-
tors, supplies and a space for
young people and their parents
to come together in the name of
love for art and freedom of ex-
pression.”
The foundation started in
memory of Kearney’s fiancée
Jennifer Riley, an artist, mother,
daughter and friend to many.
She died Sept. 24, 2008, due to
complications with liver dis-
ease.
Activists from Evansville,
Ind., San Francisco, Calif., Por-
tland, Ore., Bethlehem, and San
Jose, Costa Rica, have adopted
the foundation’s mission and de-
veloped their own programs
and events.
“The foundation is only a
year old,” said Kearney. “We an-
nounced our foundation on
March 3, 2010, and it’s flying
out of control. There are a cou-
ple thousand members nation-
wide.”
Their next area event will be
held April 2 and 3 outside the
Walmart in Wilkes-Barre Town-
ship. The fundraiser will raise
money for area children by sell-
ing potato pancakes and spring
wreaths. Children are encour-
aged to attend this event, where
a free art project, called “Let It
Grow”, will be held. Children
will paint their own potted
plants, plant a seed, and let it
grow.
In a past event held last year,
and in partnership with the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins, the foundation repaired

S TAT E B U D G E T P L A N Education Law Center of Pennsylvania says way cuts distributed severely damages efforts to close education gap between rich and needy

Poorest schools will suffer most, group says

By MARC LEVY
Associated Press
HARRISBURG — Pennsylva-
nia’s poorest school districts,
which usually get the most help
from the state, will suffer the
most pain if Gov. Tom Corbett’s
budget is approved, according to
advocates who say the plan will
deliver a huge setback to efforts
to erase educational disparities.
The difference in potential
losses is eye-popping: a high of
$885 per student in the tiny

know that they’re still not getting
their fair share, but nobody com-
plains because everybody’s win-
ning,” he said.
In keeping with his pledge to
balance Pennsylvania’s budget
without raising taxes or fees, Cor-
bett made the cutbacks as part of
his strategy to close Pennsylva-
nia’s projected multibillion-dollar
deficit for the 2011-12 fiscal year
beginning July 1.
He would slash about $550 mil-
lion, or about10 percent, from the
rates are already among the
state’s highest.
The district is working to close
a projected deficit of $25 million
next year, driven by rising costs
and a potential loss of more than
$11 million in state subsidies.
Already, the district’s board has
approved the elimination of coun-
selors, teaching assistants, and
instructors of specialty subjects,
including industrial and perform-
ing arts.
The district also is asking
teachers to accept a pay freeze
this year, but the shortfall is such
that board chairman Samuel
Beard said he doesn’t see how in-
creasing taxes or cutting fringe
costs can close it.
The only thing left to do, he
said, is lay off teachers in core aca-
demic subjects, which Beard said
could prove damaging to the stu-
dents.
“It will have a severe impact on
class size," Beard said, "which
means you’re going to have a se-
vere impact on (student) achieve-
ment."

Pennsylvania, according to an
analysis by the Philadelphia-
based nonprofit Education Law
Center of Pennsylvania, which
advocates for poor and disadvan-
taged students.
If Corbett’s budget is enacted, it
would take a decade to undo the
damage that one such year of cuts
would do to recent gains toward
closing the education gap be-
tween wealthy and poor children,
the law center’s Baruch Kintisch
said.
“The cuts need to be distrib-
uted in a way that doesn’t slaugh-
ter the poor students in the
state,” Kintisch said.
Corbett’s Department of Edu-
cation did not respond to re-
quests for comment.
Kintisch and others say the ad-
ministration apparently flicked
the reverse switch on a formula in
state law that favors poorer dis-
tricts in allocating billions of dol-
lars annually to Pennsylvania’s
500 school districts.
“The people who made the
most tend to lose the most, that’s
the unfortunate way of looking at
it,” said Senate Appropriations
Committee Chairman Jake Cor-
man, R-Centre.
For now, lawmakers are just be-
ginning to see how their school
districts would be affected by
Corbett’s two-week-old spending
plan.
Whether lawmakers look to
wipe out some of the cuts, or
whether they choose to alter the
way the cuts are distributed, re-
mains to be seen.
Corman said discussions
haven’t developed yet on the sub-
ject of whether the cuts should be
distributed differently — for in-
stance, on an across-the-board av-
erage reduction of $313 per stu-
dent across the state, as Kintisch
suggested.
“I don’t know how that would
work through the formula, but ev-
erything is on the table for discus-
sion at this point,” Corman said.
There is a long history of politi-
cal tinkering with a state school
funding formula that otherwise
delivers proportionally more
money to school districts with
bigger hardships, such as more
poverty and more children with
special needs.
Last year, the Legislature pro-
duced a compromise that allowed
each school district to get a mini-
mum 2 percent increase — bene-
fiting even wealthy and shrinking
districts that may not otherwise
have received any extra money.
Such political deals have diverted
hundreds of millions of dollars
away from districts deemed by
the funding formula to be more
deserving, Kintisch said.
“In good years when there have
been increases, the poor districts

Japan finds radiation in milk, spinach near nuke plant

Minuscule amounts of
radioactive iodine also were
found in tap water in Tokyo.
By SHINO YUASA
and ERIC TALMADGE
Associated Press
FUKUSHIMA, Japan — In the
first sign that contamination
from Japan’s stricken nuclear
complex had seeped into the food
chain, officials said Saturday that
radiation levels in spinach and
milk from farms near the tsuna-
mi-crippled facility exceeded
government safety limits.
Minuscule amounts of radioac-
tive iodine also were found in tap
water Friday in Tokyo and else-
where in Japan — although ex-
for those involved in emergency
operations, according to Tokyo
Electric Power Co., which oper-
ates the complex. The govern-
ment raised that limit to 250 mil-
lisieverts on Tuesday as the crisis
escalated.
Officials said the crisis at the
plant appeared to be stabilizing,
with near-constant dousing of
dangerously overheated reactors
and uranium fuel, but the situa-
tion was still far from resolved.
Japan’s military planned to start
dousing one troubled reactor —
Unit 4 — for the first time shortly
after daybreak this morning.
“We more or less do not expect
to see anything worse than what
we are seeing now,” said Hidehi-
ko Nishiyama of the Nuclear and
Industrial Safety Agency.
contaminated foods “pose no im-
mediate health risk.”
An expert in the United States
also said the risk appeared limit-
ed and urged calm.
“The most troubling thing to
me is the fear that’s out of propor-
tion to the risk,” said Dr. Henry
Duval Royal, a radiologist at
Washington University Medical
School.
The tainted milk was found 20
miles from the plant, a local offi-
cial said. The spinach was collect-
ed from six farms between 60
miles and 75 miles to the south of
the reactors.
Those areas are rich farm coun-
try known for melons, rice and
peaches, so the contamination
could affect food supplies for
large parts of Japan.
they show further contamina-
tion, then food shipments from
the area would be halted.
Officials said it was too early to
know if the nuclear crisis caused
the contamination, but Edano
said air sampling done near the
dairy showed higher-than-nor-
mal radiation levels.
Iodine levels in the spinach ex-
ceeded safety limits by three to
seven times, a food safety official
said. Tests on the milk done

bombarded the North African na-

The strikes, which were aimed
at enforcing a U.N.-mandated no-
fly zone, were a sharp escalation
in the international effort to stop
Gadhafi after weeks of pleading
by the rebels who have seen early
gains reversed as the regime un-
leashed the full force of its superi-
or air power and weaponry.
President Barack Obama said
military action was not his first
choice and reiterated that he
would not send American ground
troops to Libya.
“This is not an outcome the
U.S. or any of our partners
sought,” Obama said from Brazil,
where he is starting a five-day vis-
it to Latin America. “We cannot
stand idly by when a tyrant tells
his people there will be no mer-
cy.”
Thousands of regime support-
ers, meanwhile, packed into the
sprawling Bab al-Aziziya military
camp in Tripoli where Gadhafi
lives to protect against attacks.
Explosions continued to rock
the coastal cities, including Tri-
poli, where anti-aircraft guns
could be heard firing overnight in
Tripoli.
Libyan TV quoted the armed
forces command as saying 48
people were killed and 150
wounded in the allied assault. It
said most of the casualties were

Ariko Ando, 17, said she was
showering in a building near
her home in Tokyo when the
quake struck. She rushed home

dogs, safe and sound.
“I was so worried,” she said.

ians’ safety and called on all sides
“to abide strictly by the rules and
principles of international hu-
manitarian law” by distinguish-
ing between civilians and fighters
and allowing safe access for hu-
manitarian organizations.
Gadhafi, who has ruled Libya
for 41 years, said in a telephone
call to Libyan state TV that he
was opening weapons depots to
allow his people to arm them-
selves in defense.
He said the international ac-
tion against his forces was unjus-
tified, calling it “simply a colonial
crusader aggression that may ig-
nite another large-scale crusader
war.”
He also said the U.N. Security
Council and the international
community were responsible for
“stopping this unjust flagrant ag-
gression against a sovereign
country immediately.”
His regime also acted quickly
in the run-up to the strikes, send-
ing warplanes, tanks and troops
into the eastern city of Benghazi,
the rebel capital and first city to
fall to the rebellion that began
Feb. 15. Then the government at-
tacks appeared to go silent.
Operation Odyssey Dawn, as
the allied assault has been
dubbed, followed an emergency
summit in Paris during which the
22 leaders and top officials
agreed to do everything neces-
sary to make Gadhafi respect a

Prof: They’re not really bath salts at all Owner of

shop says
Drugs known as “bath salts” “So an enterprising chemist

quite distinct from products
you put in your tub, he says.
By MARK GUYDISH
mguydish@timesleader.com
WILKES-BARRE – Just to be
perfectly clear, the designer
drugs sold as “bath salts” and hit-
ting headlines lately are utterly
unrelated to the bath salts you
dump in your tub to scent your
soak.
“They have nothing to do with
bath salts, absolutely nothing,”
King’s College chemistry profes-
sor Fred Sauls explained.
The drug has apparently been
labeled as “bath salts” to mask its
real purpose and allow legal sales
without attracting attention.
Real bath salts are comprised
of things like “Epsom salts and
essential oils, fragrances, skin
softeners,” Sauls said.
The powder dubbed “Bath
salts” that people are snorting,
smoking or otherwise ingesting
for a quick high is the latest in
decades of “designer drugs” de-
liberately concocted – usually in
home grown labs – to have the ef-
fect of a banned narcotic while
falling outside the definition of
“illegal drug.”
“When we know something is
really dangerous like heroin, the
legal machinery can ban it,”
Sauls said, “But there are a very
large number of very similar mol-
ecules out there, and we know
enough to say that if the struc-
ture is similar to methampheta-
mine, it’s going to have similar ef-
fects.
can look at the molecule and say
‘I can tinker with this molecule’
and make a new drug.
“The basic strategy is you look
at a chemical catalog and find
something you can buy that is
fairly similar (to a known drug)
and you do some well-establish-
ed chemistry that will convert
that molecule to the one you
want,” Sauls said.
“You can do it in your base-
ment with a moderate amount of
equipment and if you’re willing
to ignore some safety precau-
tions,” he added.
While the “cooking” can be
done with household glassware,
odds are good it will break, Sauls
said, though it’s easy to get lab-
quality beakers and other heat-
resistant glassware.
Disastrous results
Using an open flame as a heat
source is a shortcut to disaster.
Even under controlled condi-
tions in his lab, Sauls said he has
opened some chemicals and had
them burst into flames with air
contact.
“A lot of these labs are found by
the fire department after they
burn down,” he noted.
There’s no shortage of existing
compounds to convert into de-
signer drugs, and almost no way
to know in advance – and thus try
to control – the ones a chemist
might use to make a new drug.
“The last time I checked, there
were something like 20 million
known compounds out there, so
we can’t possibly investigate the
properties of all of them,” Sauls
said.
King’s chemistry professor Fred Sauls says ‘anybody who works with a chemical company or in
academia’ can access a large online list of compounds that can be converted into designer drugs.
The ones being converted into
designer drugs are often other-
wise obscure. “I know of no legit-
imate use for them; they’re just
chemical oddities.”
Because the drugs are newly
designed, it’s not necessarily
easy to be sure of the long-term
effects, Sauls said. But in the case
of the deliberately misnamed
“bath salts,” odds are that, if it is
designed to mimic methamphe-
tamine, it is highly addictive.
Where does an “enterprising
chemist” go to see those 20 mil-
lion compounds?
“A lot of the chemical structur-
es are on the Internet; use Goo-
gle or Google Scholar and you’ll
find them,” Sauls said. “If it isn’t
there, there’s an immense data-
base called the chemical ab-
stracts.”
Restricted access
That database is not open to
the general public, but “anybody
who works with a chemical com-
pany or in academia would have
access to it.”
Does that mean some of the
people fashioning these drugs
are professional chemists or …
um … college professors?
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
“From my experience, it’s been
both,” Sauls said. “One was made
by someone who had access to a
pharmaceutical company data-
base. He took a molecule the
company had made but had not
pursued as a drug, and made a
bunch and started selling it.”
Asked if he could actually cook
up a batch of “bath salts,” Sauls
chuckled, saying he wouldn’t
even if he could, but he can’t. “I
don’t have the starting materi-
als.”
In fact, controlling the starting
materials is one way to curb the
creation of designer drug.

How do police distinguish a

“Someone high on coke is not
going to be all whacked out,” ex-

are beginning to see an increase
of people under the influence of
bath salts.
“It’s not the same stuff you
sprinkle into your bath tub, that’s
for sure,” Soprano said.
According to the American As-
sociation of Poison Control Cen-
ters, U.S. poison centers proc-
essed nearly 500 calls regarding
toxic products marketed as bath
salts from Jan. 1 through Feb. 13,
showing that public health threat
presented by the products has yet
to abate. By comparison, poison
centers took 292 calls in 2010
about bath salts affects.
A half-gram of bath salts pur-
chased at a head shop in Wilkes-
Barre sold for $37.50 last week.
When asked about its use, the
clerk twice said it is used for tak-
ing a bath. Bath salts sold in the
head shop were locked and kept
out of sight behind a counter.
“You can’t imagine paying
$37.50 for half a gram of these
bathsaltswhenrealbathsaltssell
for $6 to $8,” Soprano said. “No-
body is paying that price to sprin-
kle into the tub. It’s not making
anyone look or feel younger.”
Another local undercover drug
detective said bath salts are
marked with a label, “Not for Hu-
man Consumption.”
Bath salts purchased by The
Times Leader did not have a
warning label.
“You won’t see this sold in your
Turkey Hills, Walmarts, or
Kmarts,” the detective said. “It
makes you ask why?”
Three stores in Kingston are
known to sell bath salts, the de-
tective said, noting law enforce-
ment is just beginning to track
the retailers that market the prod-
uct.

Federal and state lawmakers have
introduced bills to ban chemicals
used in the manufacture of bath
salts and synthetic marijuana.
• The Combating Dangerous
Synthetic Stimulants Act (S.409),
introduced by U.S. Sen. Charles
Schumer, D-N.Y., would add in-
gredients in bath salts to the list
of controlled substances.

being sold,” he noted.
Prompting legislation
In response to the emerging
threat, several states, including
Hawaii, Michigan, Louisiana,
Kentucky and North Dakota have
introduced legislation to ban
bath salts.
In addition, a number of cities
and municipalities have taken ac-
tion to ban these products, ac-
cording to the National Institute
on Drug Abuse.
The Pennsylvania House Judi-
ciary Committee last month
unanimously approved a bill
sponsored by Rep. Jerry Stern, R-
Blair, which would make synthet-
ic bath salts illegal to possess and
sell.
“The goal is to keep these
chemical substances out of the
hands of those who would abuse
them,” Stern said. “The phrase

Two face trial in casino purse theft
By EDWARD LEWIS
elewis@timesleader.com
PLAINS TWP. – Two men whom
police accused of conspiring to steal
a woman’s purse after losing all their
money at the Mohegan Sun at Poco-
no Downs casino will face charges in
Luzerne County Court.
Robert James Hullfish Jr., 21, of
Archbald, will face misdemeanor
charges of theft and criminal con-
spiracy to commit theft.
His alleged accomplice, Corey
Charles Edwards, 26, of Archbald,
will face a felony robbery charge.
Prosecutors withdrew a felony
robbery charge, including a misde-
meanor count of criminal conspir-
acy, against Hullfish.
Misdemeanor counts of criminal
conspiracy and theft were with-
drawn against Edwards.
The charges were sent to county
court after the men waived their pre-
Hullfish Edwards
liminary hearings before District
Judge Diana Malast on Friday.
Police allege Edwards was the per-
son responsible for stealing the
woman’s purse on Sept. 29.
According to the criminal com-
plaints:
A woman was walking through
the casino’s parking lot when a man
grabbed her purse and knocked her
to the ground. She saw the man run-
ning away toward East Main Street.
Police canvassed the parking lot
and nearby woods spotting Ed-
wards, who matched the description
given by the woman, walking near
the Russian Orthodox Church on
East Main Street. Edwards dropped
the purse before he was apprehend-
ed.
Edwards told police that he and
his friend “Bobby” had lost their
money playing slot machines inside
the casino and decided to steal a
purse from an elderly woman, ac-
cording to the criminal complaint.
Edwards claimed they agreed to
meet at the Turkey Hill after steal-
ing the purse.
A Wilkes-Barre police officer spot-
ted Hullfish waiting for Edwards in a
vehicle near the Turkey Hill, the
criminal complaint says.
Edwards remains jailed for lack of
$10,000 bail on the charges filed by
Plains Township police, and on
$5,000 bail on unrelated charges in
Lackawanna County.
Hullfish remains free on $10,000
bail.

by police concerning the attack.

WASHINGTON — With plenty of help from
Pittsburgh, Butler found another way to pull off
a stunning upset in the NCAA tournament.
Matt Howard made one free throw with
0.8 seconds left to cap a wild final se-
quence, and Butler shocked the top-seed-

vance to the round of 16.
Each team had a chance to win it from the

Brown near midcourt with 1.4 seconds left,
Brown made the first try to tie it.
He missed the second, and Howard was fouled

— a foul even more unnecessary than the one
that preceded it.

T
hey wanted one more victory,
one more game, one more shot.
The truth is, the Holy Redeem-
er Royals gave this season their best
shot.
Just because those shots weren’t
falling Friday during a state quarterfi-
nal loss, it doesn’t diminish the magni-
tude of Redeemer’s accomplishments
on the basketball court.
The Royals won the first District 2
championship in program history. They
won two state playoff games for the
first time. And they were about three
minutes away from their first foray into
the PIAA Class 3A semifinals.
“We got the furthest our team has
ever gone in the state playoffs,” heady
Redeemer guard Austin Carr said.
OK, the school’s only four years old,
formed by the recent jointure of Ca-
tholic schools.
But future generations of Royals will
have to work awfully hard to beat the
achievements of the first class of gradu-
ates to spend its whole high school
careers playing for Redeemer.
“The seven seniors on our team
wanted to do something special. For
our school and community,” Carr said.
Mission accomplished.
Even though that quest fell a little
short of where the Royals wanted it to
end.
‘Quite a ride’ for Redeemer
They weren’t going to win the state
championship, not with defending
PIAA king Neumann-Goretti waiting in
the next round. But the Royals craved

state opener.
They thought they were positioned
for it, too, before five consecutive
points from Lancaster Catholic’s Paul

a four-point game with three minutes
to go into a 56-41 Redeemer defeat.

They didn’t win the quarterfinal
round because, outside of Ruch early

their shots to go down.
“I’m proud of the guys,” Carr said.
“We worked hard as a team. I felt like

That journey might have ended too
soon to suit them Friday night. But
their legacy at Holy Redeemer has only
just begun.

Freshman Knight comes up big again for Kentucky
By FRED GOODALL
AP Sports Writer
TAMPA, Fla. — It didn’t take
Brandon Knight long to build an
impressive resume in the NCAA
tournament.
A game-winning shot in the
closing seconds of his debut. A ca-
reer-best 30 points in his next
game, helping Kentucky back in-
to the round of 16.
Two days after his only basket
helped the fourth-seeded Wild-
cats survive their tourney opener
against Princeton, Knight led an
11-0 run coming out of halftime
and made six free throws in the fi-
nal minute to close out a 71-63 vic-
tory over fifth-seeded West Vir-
ginia.
Kentucky (27-8) advanced to
the East regional semifinals in
Newark, N.J. against either No. 1
seed Ohio State or eighth-seeded
George Mason.
It’s the second trip to the round
of 16 in as many seasons under
coach John Calipari.
BYU guard Jimmer Fredette (32) passes the ball while being
pressured by Gonzaga players Saturday in Denver.
Jimmer’s 34 put
BYU in Sweet 16
By EDDIE PELLS
AP National Writer
DENVER — Look out Big
Easy. Here comes The Jimmer.
Jimmer Fredette scored 34
points Saturday to lift third-
seeded Brigham Young to an 89-
67 victory over 11th-seeded
Gonzaga and send the Cougars
to New Orleans for the regional
semifinals.
It will be BYU’s deepest trip in
the NCAA tournament since
1981, the year Danny Ainge
went coast to coast against
Notre Dame for a last-second
game-winner — a play that still
holds a special place in BYU’s
rich sports history.
Fredette has a few dozen of
his own clips on that highlight
reel with a chance to add some
more next Thursday against
Florida, a 73-65 winner over
UCLA on the other side of the
Southeast regional.
In this game, the hoop must
have seemed as wide as the Mis-
sissippi for the nation’s leading
scorer.
He shot 7 for 12 from three-
point range, and after having
trouble getting shots over Gon-
zaga’s tough defense in the first
half, he found his rhythm in the
second.
He opened the half by pulling
up from 5 feet beyond the upper-
right part of the three-point arc
and swishing the shot. That trig-
gered an 11-2 run that put BYU

Josh Harrellson delivered eight

TUCSON, Ariz. — Jordan
Taylor hit two big free throws
and blocked Jacob Pullen’s 3-

win over Kansas State.
Taylor shot just 2 of 16 but
came up with the biggest play of
the game, swatting Pullen’s ty-
ing attempt in the final seconds
with Wisconsin (25-8) up three.
Josh Gasser then hit two free
throws to seal it, sending the
fourth-seeded Badgers into the
round of 16 for the fourth time
since 2000.
Wisconsin moves on to face
upset specialist Butler, a winner
over top-seeded Pittsburgh, in
the Southeast regional semifi-
nals Thursday in New Orleans.
The Spiders (29-7) will play the win-
ner of Kansas-Illinois in the Southwest
regional semifinals next Friday in San
Antonio.
Richmond bottled up the NBA pros-

— and played to virtual perfection.
The Spiders have carved out a repu-
tation as upset artists, becoming the
only school to win games as a No. 12,
13, 14 and 15 seed. They eliminated
fifth-seeded Vanderbilt, 69-66, in their
opener.
But that win over the Commodores
hardly counted as a shocker, especially
given their history this time of year.
The Spiders ended the season of an

West Virginia’s win last year, scor-
ing 17 points and helping the
Mountaineers frustrate Ken-
tucky’s shooters with a 1-3-1 zone
that harassed the Wildcats into 4
for 32 from beyond the 3-point
line.
West Virginia relied almost ex-
clusively on man-to-man defense
Saturday. And even though Ken-
tucky shot 56.5 percent in the
opening half, the Wildcats turned
the ball over seven times and
didn’t get a lot of open looks at the
baskets after getting off to its
quick start.
Knight missed his first seven
shots before delivering the win-
ner in Kentucky’s 59-57 victory
over Princeton on Thursday. He
drained a pair of long 3-pointer to
begin Saturday’s game and never
backed off.
By fending off the Mountain-
eers, the Wildcats avoided losing
to the same opponent in consec-
utive NCAA tournaments for the
first time since 1961 and 1962.

The Bruins survived that one.
They had no such luck against
Florida, which advanced to the
round of 16 in the Southeast re-
gion.
“It definitely feels good,” Chan-
dler Parsons said. “You know,
we’ve worked so hard all year
long, and for us to accomplish
what we’ve accomplished this
year really feels good to get to this
point. But like I’ve said before,
we’re not satisfied, we want to
keep going.”
Boynton finished with 12
points, five assists and ice on his
left ankle. He landed awkwardly
on Smith’s foot with 4:24 remain-
ing and had to be helped to the
locker room. He returned a few
minutes later, but was hobbling
around the court, so Donovan
pulled him.
Walker took over from there.
After his crazy bank shot and a
free throw, Vernon Macklin fol-
lowed with a reverse layup that
came after he juked Smith in the
lane.
Walker saved his best for last,
hitting his third shot from behind
the arc and sealing the victory
with four free throws.

The Associated Press
CHICAGO — That fan who
taunted Ben Hansbrough by
yelling, “Tyler’s better!” during
Notre Dame’s second-round win
won’t get any argument from
the Big East player of the year.
Not these days, at least.
Ben Hansbrough is averaging
21.9 points, 5.1 assists and 4.4
rebounds over the last 14
games, a stretch in which Notre
Dame has gone 12-2. But Tyler
Hansbrough, the 2008 national
player of the year, had three
games this week with at least 29
points.
After scoring 29 and 30
against the New York Knicks on
Sunday and again Tuesday,
Tyler Hansbrough scored 29 and
grabbed 12 rebounds in the
Indiana Pacers’ 115-108 victory
Friday night over the Eastern
Conference-leading Chicago
Bulls.
“I’m going to have to go with
Tyler right now, because of the
level he’s doing it at,” Ben Hans-
brough said Saturday, when
asked which brother is playing
better right now.
The Hansbroughs are close —
Tyler recently said his younger
brother is “still my favorite
teammate ever” — and being
separated by 130 miles has
made it easy for them to keep
tabs on each other. They’re also
extremely competitive.
TUNING IN: The NCAA
tournament’s new television
format is drawing more viewers.
The second-round games
Friday across four networks
averaged 7.6 million viewers.
That’s up 19 percent from last
year, when games were only on
CBS.
The NCAA’s 14-year, $10.8
billion deal with CBS and Turn-
er means each game is televised
nationally in its entirety on
CBS, TNT, TBS or truTV. In the
past, broadcasts on CBS were
regionalized, and the network
would switch among games.
FULL CIRCLE: Michigan
coach John Beilein’s first Divi-
sion I coaching job was at Cani-
sius, and his first game there
was at Duke.
That 1992 Blue Devils were
coming off back-to-back national
championships, and the Canisi-
us team that Beilein brought to
Cameron Indoor Stadium that
night wasn’t anywhere near that
level.
“We walked into the shoota-
round and there was Krzyzew-
skiville set up,” Beilein said,
referring to the tent city pop-
ulated by students before games
at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
“I go, ‘Damn, they’re set up in
Krzyzewskiville to play Canisi-
us?’ ” Beilein said. “I asked
somebody, ‘You’re set up, camp-
ing out for the Canisius games?’
“He said, ‘Heck, no, we play
Michigan this weekend.’ ”
Once the game started, how-
ever, the junior guard played
with intensity and poise. Mack
scored 16 points in the first half,
sinking four 3-pointers, and the
Bulldogs committed only two
turnovers in taking a 38-30 lead
at the break.
Because 6-foot-11 Pittsburgh
center Gary McGhee clogged
the lane when Butler had the
ball, the Bulldogs opted to take
their chances from the outside.
Howard hit a pair of 3-pointers,
Mack and Shawn Vanzant also
scored from beyond the arc, and
the Butler went 8 for 11 from the
field in opening up a 20-14 lead.
Minutes later, Bulldogs re-
serve guard Zach Hahn connect-
ed from long range, Khyle Mar-
shall jammed home a follow shot
and Mack hit a 3 to start a 10-2
spurt that made it 30-18.
Brown then scored five points
in an 11-0 Pittsburgh run that
ended when Mack popped a 3-
pointer from the top of the key.

Linesman Jameel Chaudry has the same goal as every AHL player:
Improve his on-ice skills, and ply his craft in the NHL
Official on a mission
By TOM VENESKY
tvenesky@timesleader.com
If you didn’t know what Jameel
Chaudry does for a living, it
would be easy to mistake him for
a hockey player.
He trains like one, skates like
one, worked his way up through
the minor leagues and hopes to
be in the NHL one day.
Heck, he’s even had two con-
cussions during his career.
And yes, Chaudry does make
his living on the ice, but he
doesn’t carry a stick.
A whistle is the tool of his
trade.
Chaudry, who resides in the
area, is a linesman in the AHL
and he is often on the ice for
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguin
home games.
And like the players Chaudry
officiates, he shares a common
dream and has taken a similar
path to get there.
A native of Montreal, Chaudry
had every intention of becoming
a professional hockey player. He
grew up playing the game and
carried on his dream while at-
tending college at Concordia
University in Montreal. After he
graduated, Chaudry played semi-
pro hockey in Quebec.
Chaudry played left wing and
he fought quite a bit, he said. But
he never gave the officials any
grief.
Maybe it was a sign of things to
come.
If it was, Chaudry had no idea.
“Never in my life did I think
about getting into officiating,” he
said. “I never imagined it.”
And then circumstances forced
Chaudry to consider a career
change. While playing semipro
hockey in Quebec in 2004, Chau-
dry suffered a concussion. Soon
after he was injured, the league
folded and all of a sudden Chau-
dry was without a job. That’s
when a friend suggested he try
his hand at being a referee to
make a few extra bucks. Chaudry
did it for half a season, officiating
college and adult league games in
Quebec. He liked officiating
enough to attend a referee camp
in Moncton, New Brunswick,
conducted by former NHL refer-
ee Don Koharski. In 2005 Chau-
dry got a job as an official in the
U.S. Hockey League and moved
to St. Paul, Minn., before spend-
ing the next two seasons working
in the ECHL.
And for the last four seasons,
Chaudry has been plying his
trade as a linesman in the AHL as
he continues to pursue his NHL
dream not as a player, but as an
official.
“I don’t miss playing because
I’m on the ice and I’m still a part
of the game,” Chaudry said. “I
kept the same routines that I had
as a player – eating right and
working out in the gym – and I
truly love being an official.”
Chaudry moved to the area in
2007 in part because it’s centrally
located to most of the venues he
works – Wilkes-Barre, Bingham-
ton, Syracuse and Hershey. This
season Chaudry has worked
about 60 AHL games, in addition
to refereeing college contests and
even local adult league games.
While the NHL is his goal,
Chaudry admits that getting
there is as tough for an official as
it is for a player.
“I’ve dedicated my life and
moved all over the country for
this job, but the NHL is very
selective in who they choose. We

LIFE AS A LINESMAN
During his four seasons as an AHL
linesman, Jameel Chaudry has
learned a lot and experienced
even more. He’s gathered quite a
few interesting stories and per-

Ryan Fetterman earned the win,
allowing just one earned run.
Carmen Lopresto went 3-for-3
with two RBI in the second

“I thought Shaina had a much

irreplaceable experience, and a
31st-place finish in the 500 frees-

Capital tied the game at 10-10

King’s (4-4) had runners on
second and third with two outs

OTTAWA — Jason Spezza

to cap the Ottawa Senators’
comeback for a win over the
Tampa Bay Lightning.
Ryan Shannon’s short-handed

Dwayne Roloson’s shutout bid

Spezza lost control of the

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Nathan
Gerbe and Tyler Ennis scored
1:50 apart in the second period
His first dive of the day, and in-
ward double somersault, nearly
knocked Vest out of the competi-
tion early.
“He always nails it,” Valley
West diving coach Rob Jacobs
said. “(Saturday), he landed al-
most face-forward. That cost
him about 20 points.”
Vest spent the rest of the day
trying to recover from that initial
flub, and although he made the
first of two competition cuts,
was left crossing his fingers to
make the second round of cuts
into the finals.
“At one point, I didn’t think he
made it,” Jacobs said.
A spectacular opening to the
second round was just enough to
push Vest into the finals.
He nailed a forward dive pike
to light up the board, pleasing
the judges while earning his
highest scores of the day – in-
cluding a 9, 8, 7.5 and two 7s.
“That really helped me out a
lot, too,” Vest said.
It helped Vest to a score of
298.80 at the end of the second
set of dives – giving him the 16th

Chris Bosh finished with his
fifth straight double-double, 18
and last spot in the finals by just
2.4 points.
Once there, Vest made one
more surge on the leaderboard.
He scored well on his ninth dive
of the day, then shrugged off a
so-so 10th dive to earn three 7.5s
on his final attempt – a difficult
1½ forward somersault with two
twists.
His two spotty attempts, on
the first and 10th, might have
cost Vest a shot at becoming one
of eight state medalists.
“If he hit both of those, we fig-
ure about 20 (more) points each,
they would have put him in the
top eight,” Jacobs said. “But he
was diving against a group of div-
ers who are some of the best in
the northeastern part of the
United States. I’m very pleased
with his performance.”
Vest’s overall grit earned him
13th place – three spots ahead of
where he stood entering the fi-
nal round and also three spots
better than the 16th place he
earned as a freshman in state
competition last season.
“I’m happy with it,” Vest said.

Mike Bibby, the only other
true point guard on Miami’s

Clippers 100, Cavaliers 92
LOS ANGELES — Blake
Griffin had 30 points, eight
rebounds and eight assists, Eric
Gordon scored 29 points in his
return to the Clippers’ lineup,
and Los Angeles beat Cleveland
to end a nine-game losing
streak against the Cavaliers.
“I moved up three spots from
where I was.”
That capped a solid perform-
ance by Valley West, which sent
two girls relay teams to states
and watched both drop times.
The second relay performance
came during Saturday’s prelimi-
nary competition, when McDa-
niels anchored the Spartans’ 400
freestyle team that placed 22nd
overall and chopped an impres-
sive 1.55 seconds from its Dis-
trict 2-winning time.
“We usually don’t even make
(state) relays,” said McDaniels,
who’s heading to Gannon on a
double scholarship for swim-
ming and water polo. “Every-
one’s happy. It feels really great
to drop some time at states. I
can’t ask for a better way to end
my senior year.”
And the Spartans couldn’t re-
ally ask for more.
“Every one of our kids had the
best swim of their lifetime,” Val-
ley West coach Frank Tribendis
said.
“That’s what it’s all about. I’m
real proud of the kids.”
LIONS

East Coast school won the title.
The only other team titlist from
the eastern side of the Mississip-
pi River was Cornell in 1947.
Head coach Cael Sanderson,
who will be inducted into the Na-
tional Wrestling Hall of Fame and
Museum in June for being a four-
time undefeated national cham-
pion wrestler, improved the
team’s performance from a ninth-
place finish in 2010 in just his sec-
ond year with the team. The win
also snaps Iowa’s run of three
straight titles.
Frank Molinaro (149 pounds),
David Taylor (157) and Quentin
Wright (184) participated in Sat-
urday night’s finals with Wright
winning a title and Molinaro and
Taylor placing second.
Wright avenged a loss to Le-
high’s Robert Hamlin back in No-
vember with a 5-2 win Saturday
night to claim the Nittany Lions’
lone indi vidual championship.
Andrew Long, a 133-pound
sophomore, and Ed Ruth, a 174-
pound freshman, were All-Amer-
icans for Penn State with third-
place finishes. The duo played a
big part in the Lions clinching
their first national title in wres-
tling in 58 years during Saturday
afternoon’s medal round.
While Long was in the midst of
coming from behind to beat Cen-
tral Michigan’s Scotti Sentes, 7-5
in the third-place match, Wiscon-
sin’s Tyler Graff was helping his
Big Ten counterpart.
Graff beat Cornell’s Mike Grey,
7-2 for fifth place and the Nittany
Lions’ lead swelled to 102.5 to
88.5 over Cornell.

Sharks defenseman Nick Pe-
trecki and dished it to Tim Wal-
lace for the game-winning goal,
paved the way for a Penguins 5-3
win before a sellout crowd. With
the win, the Penguins improved
to 49-18-0-1 and became the first
team to clinch a playoff spot.
“It feels good. The guys put to-
gether a good effort and it’s nice
to know that you have that in
your back pocket,” coach John
Hynes said. “You know you’re go-
ing into the postseason, now we
have to forge forward and see if
we can get home ice.”
With the game tied 3-3 in the
first half of the third period, the
Penguins were forced to kill off
two Worcester power plays, in-
cluding 29 seconds of a two-man
advantage.
Considering that the Sharks
had already connected twice on
the power play earlier in the
game, the kills were crucial.
“It was huge,” Wallace said.
“We gained momentum from it.
The crowd got into it and that
was a turning point in the game.”
Two shifts later, Veilleux went
to work. With the puck deep in
the Worcester end, Veilleux start-
ed things off by gaining posses-
sion and firing a wrister from the
right faceoff circle.
Worcester goaltender Harri Sa-
teri made the save, but the puck
went out to high slot where Chris
Collins blasted a shot. Veilleux
was positioned in front of the net
and deflected the puck just wide
of the post.
Worcester gained control of
the rebound and Petrecki held
the puck just a second too long.
Veilleux snuck up behind him,
stole the puck and dished it into
the slot for Wallace, who connect-
ed with a wrister to put the Pen-
guins up 4-3 with less than nine
minutes remaining.
Veilleux said he may have had a
little help on the play.
“The crowd was so loud that
maybe the defenseman didn’t
hear anything,” Veilleux said.
The crowd had plenty of rea-
sons to be loud as the Penguins
and Sharks engaged in a hard-hit-
ting, back-and-forth battle.
After Worcester jumped ahead
2-1 with a pair of first period
goals, the Penguins took immedi-
ately took control in the second
period. When Worcester’s John
McCarthy was whistled for
roughing 20 seconds into the pe-
riod, Brett Sterling put home an

Penn State after Ruth took third
at 174.
Penn State and the Big Red
went head-to-head at 174 with
Ruth beating Cornell’s Mack
Lewnes via decision 6-2. If
Lewnes had won the match with
a fall, Cornell would have re-
mained in contention for the tro-
phy, but Ruth held on for the vic-
tory.
Penn State entered the finals
with a 14-point lead and three fi-
nalists, while the Big Red and
Hawkeyes only had one in the ti-
tle matches. The only way the
Nittany Lions would have not
won the national title after the fi-

points due to disqualification.

play of the period – a five-on-
three for 15 seconds – the Pen-
guins needed less time to find the
back of the net. Chris Collins
pounced on a lose puck immedi-
ately after the faceoff and
whipped it back to Corey Potter,
whose slapshot beat Sateri just
three seconds into the power
play.
Potter’s goal – his second in
two games – gave the Penguins a
3-2 lead. While the offense
clicked, the Penguins defense al-
so played well, smothering Wor-
cester’s offensive chances and
limiting them to just four shots in
the period.
But early in the third period,
Worcester’s Tommy Wingels con-
nected on a power play goal – the
fourth consecutive man advan-
tage tally in the game – to tie
things at 3-3.
But Wallace’s goal at 11:16 gave
the Penguins a lead they
wouldn’t relinquish. Wallace also
added an empty net goal with one
second remaining to give him 20
on the season.
“It was a tough game, a great
battle by Worcester,” Hynes said.
“I thought that tonight was about
mental toughness as the game
went on. They tied it but we stuck
with it and had a huge kill in the
third period. We just kept moving
forward.”

San Francisco closer Brian Wilson
strained a ribcage muscle pitching
against the Dodgers Thursday and
could be out for a few weeks.
SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS
Wilson could miss opener
San Francisco Giants closer Brian
Wilson is being sidelined with a
strained ribcage muscle, an injury that
could keep him out for the start of the
season.
The San Francisco Chronicle report-
ed Saturday he had an MRI. Wilson
was injured Thursday while pitching
against the Los Angeles Angels.
Wilson will be re-evaluated on Mon-
day. It is uncertain whether he will be
ready for opening day.
If he is out for an extended period,
the closer’s role likely would be taken
by left-handers Jeremy Affeldt or Javier
Lopez, or right-hander Sergio Romo.
The 29-year-old Wilson led the ma-
jors with 48 saves last year.
CINCINNATI REDS
Cueto exits early again
Johnny Cueto has left the Cincinnati
Reds exhibition game for the second
straight time.
The 25-year-old right-hander was set
to pitch four or five innings Saturday,
but he left after the first inning. He
signed a four-year contract in January.
Cueto also left his last start against
Texas on March 11 with tightness in his
right forearm and biceps. He rested for
two days before throwing a bullpen
session with no pain.
Cueto left the field with a trainer on
his way to see the Reds medical staff.
PITTSBURGH PIRATES
Lincoln OK; Beimel shaky
The Pittsburgh Pirates felt better
about starter Brad Lincoln, even
though he still was hurting. The out-
look for reliever Joe Beimel seemed a
bit more uncertain.
The Pirates got a mixed bag of injury
updates on their ailing pitchers Sat-
urday, with opening day less than two
weeks away.
Lincoln is expected to be fine, a day
after the right-hander was struck in his
pitching arm by a line drive. He should
be ready to make his next start, despite
some discomfort for now.
“It’s really stiff, worse than yester-
day,” Lincoln said before Pittsburgh
beat Boston 7-5. “My strength is still
good, though, and there’s no structural
damage.”
CLEVELAND INDIANS
Injury sidelines Donald
Third baseman Jason Donald will
not be ready to open the season for the
Cleveland Indians because of a hand
injury.
Indians trainer Lonnie Soloff said
Saturday that Donald has a small crack
in the base of the long finger on his left
hand. Donald will not participate in
activities for the next seven days, then
start a return-to-hit program.
Donald was hit on the back of the
hand by a fastball from Gavin Floyd of
the Chicago White Sox on March 5. He
came back for a couple of at-bats five
days later, played in the field the next
day, and has been sidelined since.
Two MRI exams did not show the
crack, but when Donald did not show
improvement, he was sent for a CT
scan that displayed the injury.
TORONTO BLUE JAYS
Francisco misses outing
Blue Jays reliever Frank Francisco
has been scratched from a minor-
league appearance on Sunday because
of ongoing discomfort in his right pec-
toral muscle.
Toronto manager John Farrell said
Saturday that the right-hander still felt
some felt discomfort during a bullpen
session. Farrell is hopeful that Francis-
co will be ready for opening day.

Ternent was the first to peak
inside to discover the sow
wasn’t alone in the den.
“She was sitting up on her
rump and she was nursing

The sow had likely awakened
from hibernation to nurse. Ter-
nent tranquilized the bear with
a dart – a process he said went
smoothly – and after a few min-
utes he, Sittler and Cottrell
went to work. Ternent said the
two main reasons for visiting
the den were to determine if the
sow had cubs – which she did –
and make sure her radio collar
still fit properly.
Because the opening to the
den was tight, Ternent and his
crew elected to leave the sedat-
ed bear inside the den and re-
move the cubs.
Ternent inspected the bear’s
collar and discovered it was
tight and a new one would be
needed. He wasn’t surprised at
the tight fit.
“When she was trapped in

Growing number of Gulf women eye world glory
350 Muslims are in GCC meet;
a decade ago it was frowned
upon for them to be athletes.
By MICHAEL CASEY
AP Sports Writer
ABU DHABI, United Arab
Emirates — The awards ceremo-
ny for the Gulf Cooperation
Council Women’s Games was
hardly on the grandest of stages.
But the makeshift podium in a
tiny conference room of a mostly
empty sports resort was the clos-
est thing to an Olympic moment
that three women from Qatar,
United Arab Emirates and Ku-
wait had ever experienced — and
they embraced it.
As cameras flashed and several
dozen cheered, each woman
wrapped herself in her country’s
flag and held bouquets of flowers
aloft. A national anthem crackled
from a loud speaker.
“I feel great joy to get this gold
medal,” said Bahya al-Hamad, a
beaming 18-year-old who won
gold for Qatar in the 10-meter ri-
fle competition. “This is all for
my country.”
By international standards, the
weeklong GCC Women’s Games
was a modest affair with only five
countries, seven sports and no re-
cord-breaking performances. But
for the 350 Muslim athletes who
took part, many wearing head
scarves and other traditional at-
tire, it was a significant step in a
region where women were dis-
couraged from taking up sports
just a decade ago. Qatar and Sau-
di Arabia still haven’t sent a fe-
male athlete to the Olympics.
Organizers also said the com-
petition showed that most Gulf
governments — Saudi Arabia
didn’t send a team — are now
promoting women’s sports, both
to overcome the perception they
are sexist and to combat health
problems such as diabetes and
obesity.
“The long-term objective is to
encourage all the ladies in the
(Gulf) to participate in sports,”
said Mohammed al-Mahmood,
general secretary of the Abu Dha-
bi Sports Council, which orga-

“We have the talent and this tal-

Talk of reaching the Olympics
was on the minds of many coach-
es and athletes, none more so
than Qatar, which wants to es-
cape the stigma that comes with
failing to include women on its
previous teams. It also is under
pressure now that it’s hosting the
2022 World Cup.
The International Olympic
Committee said last year that it
would press Qatar, Brunei and
Saudi Arabia to send athletes to
the 2012 London Olympics.
Some IOC officials have suggest-
ed Saudi Arabia should be
banned from the 2012 games be-
cause of its males-only policy.
The pressure on the three
countries comes as women’s par-
ticipation is at an all-time high
worldwide, reaching 42 percent

of all athletes in the 2008 Beijing
Olympics, including in the Unit-
ed Arab Emirates and Oman,
which sent their first women.
Qatari sports officials said it is
unfair to lump their nation in
with the likes of more conserva-
tive Saudi Arabia, insisting it has
made great strides in promoting
women’s sports since it first sent
25 athletes to the 2002 Women’s
Islamic Games in Iran.
The number of Qatari women
attending the Asian Games in-
creased from eight in 2002 to 64
last year, and Qatari authorities
said they started a six-team wom-
en’s soccer league and plan to
host a Gulf basketball tourna-
ment in April. They also sent girls
to the inaugural Youth Olympic
Games in Singapore last year.
“I see movement and it’s step
by step,” said Ahlam Salem al-
Mana, president of the Qatar
Women’s Sport Committee.
Al-Mana admitted there was a
time when families in the desert
nation of 1.6 million kept their
women confined to the home and
worried about little more than en-
suring they got married. But by
introducing sports in schools, au-
thorities such as a wife of the
country’s ruler, Sheikha Mozah
bint Nasser Al Missned, have suc-
cessfully conveyed the message
that sports can be good for girls
and would not shame their fam-
ilies, a fear in the Muslim coun-
try.
The first sign that attitudes
were changing, al-Mana said, was
when Qatar hosted the Asian
Games in 2006.
“They saw all the teams, all the
sports,” she said. “They say, ’Why

push our girls.’ Maybe before
that, really in Qatar they don’t
know about Asian Games. When
it comes in Doha, everyone
knows about it. Everybody now
says we must try to push our girls
to participate.”
The Qatari athletes acknowl-
edge they are beneficiaries of this
transformation, saying their fam-
ilies supported their taking up
sports and any opposition melted
away as they started winning
medals and gaining recognition.

However, it’s unlikely anyone
from the Qatar women’s team
will compete in London — unless
they receive one of the IOC’s spe-
cial invitations for unqualified
athletes, 90 of which were grant-
ed for Beijing. Qatari coaches,
players and al-Mana admit no fe-
male athletes would qualify by
traditional means such as win-
ning medals at the Asian Games.
It’s a problem for many Gulf na-
tions, where women’s sports are
so new that most athletes lack the
experience of other Asian ath-
letes and struggle to find suitable
competition in their countries.
They also complain they aren’t
given the same financial support
as men, forcing them to choose
between school, work or a career
in athletics.

MLB STEROIDS ERA
Bonds’ perjury trial to start
Jury selection starts Monday.
HR king is accused of lying
under oath about drug use.
By RONALD BLUM
AP Sports Writer
When Barry Bonds walked in-
to the federal courthouse in San
Francisco on Dec. 4, 2003, his ca-
reer total stood at 658 home runs,
baseball had yet to institute drug
testing with penalties and the Gi-
ants were nearly a half-century
removed from their last World
Series title.
Much has changed since the
brawny, contentious slugger
spent two hours, 53 minutes an-
swering questions from a pair of
assistant U.S. attorneys and
grand jurors examining drug use
in sports.
Baseball’s Steroids Era receded
somewhat as players and owners
started mandatory testing and
then toughened the rules three
times. Bonds won his seventh
MVP award in 2004 and broke
Hank Aaron’s career home run re-
cord in 2007.
And then on Nov. 15, 2007, 50
days since he took his final big
league swing and 100 after top-
ping Aaron, Bonds was indicted
on charges he lied to the grand ju-
ry when he denied knowingly us-
ing performance-enhancing
drugs. Even though he wanted to
continue playing, all 30 major
league teams shunned him. And
without Bonds, the Giants last
year won their first title since
1954.
Starting Monday, a jury will be
selected in the very same court
house where Bonds testified all
those years ago to determine
whether he broke the law with
four short answers totaling nine
words: “Not that I know of,” “No,
no,” “No,” and “Right.”
Each of the charges — four
counts of making false state-
ments to the grand jury and one
count of obstruction — carry a
possible sentence of up to 10
years, although federal guide-
lines make a total of 15 to 21
months more probable if Bonds is

claim he lied to
protect the leg-
acy of a career
in which he hit
home runs at an
Bonds unprecedented
pace, especially
for someone his age. Bonds was
43 when he his 762nd, and last,
home run.
His apparent defense?
He was truthful when told the
grand jury he didn’t know the
substances he used were ste-
roids, so even if they were per-
formance-enhancing drugs, that
isn’t relevant to the charges
against Bonds.
“If you look at the cases of ath-
letes internationally over the
years, the defenses of those ath-
letes has been, ’I didn’t know,”’
said Dr. Gary Wadler, former
chairman of the committee that
determines the banned substanc-
es list for the World Anti-Doping
Agency. “They clearly know. The
question is: In a hearing, can you
prove it? But they know. Of
course, they know.”
Even if that is the case here,
prosecutors may trouble convinc-
ing jurors.
Much of the government’s case
has been gutted by the refusal of
Greg Anderson to testify. Bonds’
personal trainer and childhood
friend was sentenced in 2005 to
three months in prison and three
months home confinement after
pleading guilty to steroid distri-
bution and money laundering for
his role in the Bay Area Laborato-
ry Co-Operative (BALCO) case.
He is likely to be jailed again next
week because he is refusing to
testify at Bonds’ trial.
Without Anderson to authenti-
cate key evidence, U.S. District
Judge Susan Illston ordered that
prosecutors couldn’t present
three positive drug tests seized
from BALCO and so-called dop-
ing calendars maintained by the
trainer at the trial. Prosecutors
tried and failed to get her deci-
sion overturned. The appeal de-
layed the trial by two years, but
the government lost in a 2-1 vote

by a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals.
Prosecutors allege Bonds lied
to the grand jury when he said he
didn’t take steroids Anderson
gave him, never received human
growth hormone from Anderson,
never took anything Anderson
asked him to take before the 2003
season other than vitamins, and
never allowed anyone to inject
him other than physicians.
Bonds testified to the grand ju-
ry he was told by Anderson he
was taking “flax seed oil,” which
the government alleges was a
then-undetectable steroid later
determined to be Tetrahydroges-
trinone (THG), developed by Pa-
trick Arnold for BALCO and
known as “the clear.” Bonds also
testified he used a lotion that An-
derson told him was a balm for
pain relief, which the govern-
ment claims was a testosterone-
based substance known as “the
cream.”
With Anderson refusing to tes-
tify, prosecutors intend to use the
testimony of other athletes, in-
cluding former AL MVP Jason
Giambi, plus the a tape recording
of Anderson speaking with then-
Bonds assistant Steve Hoskins,
to help prove their assertion that
Bonds knew what he was taking.
A urine test Bonds took on
June 4, 2003, for baseball, which
later was found to be positive for
THG, also will be introduced
along with a July 7, 2006, urine
test for baseball that was positive
for an amphetamine. And Bonds’
former mistress, Kimberly Bell,
will be asked to testify about
changes to Bonds’ body and de-
meanor the government asserts
were caused by steroids.
With the well-established
group of BALCO prosecutors led
by Matthew A. Parrella and Jef-
frey D. Nedrow battling against
Bonds’ high-priced legal team of
half-a-dozen-plus attorneys, the
case could come down to how
much doubt Bonds’ side raises
about the government’s evi-
dence. The standard for criminal
conviction is “beyond a reasona-
ble doubt,” not “without any
doubt.”
