By Ralph Burns;
Former acid reux sufferer
Heres My Story:
I've Suffered With Acid Reux
for Almost 40-Years Now. Unless
you experience it; you cant imagine
how horrible it is. Every time I ate
spicy food I would get what I called
"ROT GUT". Like something was
rotting in my stomach. But now I
can eat anything No matter how
spicy. Even if I never could before.
Let me explain
For the better part of my life;
I purposely avoided of a lot of
foods. Especially ones with even
a tiny bit of seasoning. Because if
I didn't, Id experience a burning
sensation through my esophagus
like somebody poured hot lead or
battery acid down my throat. Add
to that, those disgusting "mini-
throw ups" and I was in "indiges-
tion hell".
Doctors put me on all sorts of
antacid remedies. But nothing
worked. Or if they did, it would
only be for a brief period. And then
boom! My nightmare would return.
Sometimes, I felt like I was dying.
The pain was unbearable and noth-
ing could make it stop.
But then my wife, who occasion-
ally suffered with the same prob-
lem; gave me one of her prescrip-
tion acid blockers. It was a miracle.
I felt like I could live again. Because
before that, I was just miserable. I
wanted to kill myself. But thank-
fully, it worked, and worked well.
I felt great, until about one year
ago; when I read an FDA warning
that scared the heck out of me. It
went something like this
FDA WARNING! Using proton
pump inhibitors (PPIs) on a long
term basis, increases your risk of
hip, bone and spinal fractures.
That's a particular concern to
me, since many acid blockers
are PPI's. I've gone through two
back surgeries and bilateral hip
replacements. I had to ask myself,
could PPI's have been responsible
for my medical woes? After all
I was between a rock and a hard
place. Stop using the PPIs and I'm
a dead man in the water. It would
be unbearable. I wouldn't be able
to eat anything. Id have to go on a
water diet.
But that FDA warning was
scary. I knew I had to stop or else
risk developing spinal stenosis. My
mother had that. And I watched her
die a horrible death. Her spine just
fractured. It was the worst death.
She didn't deserve that. And neither
do I.
I had to quit. So I stopped taking
PPI's for a day or so. But my
indigestion was worse than ever.
I would rather take the chance of
a spinal fracture than to live like
that again. I tried everything. Even
started using home remedies like
Apple cider vinegar. But it just felt
like I was pouring even more acid
down my throat.
Then one day at dinner, a friend
of mine said "why don't you try
an aloe drink?" I said "aloe drink"?
Jeez. That doesn't sound good at
all! The next day he brought me
a case of something called Aloe-
Cure. I was skeptical, but I was
desperate! So instead of being an
ingrate I decided to try it.
I was shocked! AloeCure. Tast-
ed pretty good too. It has a pleas-
ant grape avor that I actually enjoy
drinking. I decided to experiment. I
stopped taking the PPI's altogether
and replaced it with a daily diet
of AloeCure. Then something re-
markable happened NOTHING!
Not even the slightest hint of indi-
gestion.
And heres the best part. The
next day we had Italian food my
worst enemy. But for the rst time
in 40-years I didn't get indigestion
without relying on prescription or
OTC pills and tablets. Finally, I just
didnt need them anymore!
I was so thrilled; I wrote the
AloeCure company to tell them
how amazing their product is. They
thanked me, and asked me to tell my
story... the story that changed my
life. I said Sure, but only if you send
me a hefty supply of AloeCure. I
just can't live without it.
But don't believe me. You have
to try this stuff for yourself. I rec-
ommend AloeCure to anyone who
suffers with the same problem I did.
It gives you immediate relief. You'll
be grateful you did. I sure am. It's
the best thing that's happened to
me in a long, long time.

Every time I ate
something that didn't
agree with me Id get
what I called Rot Gut

HAZLE TWP. State police
at Hazleton have charged a
Tamaqua man with the robbery
of a Turkey Hill and an attempt-
ed robbery of a Ramada Inn, on
Sunday.
Police said that Charles Ste-
phen Hausman, 29, robbed a
Turkey Hill on state Route 924
at 3:51 a.m. Sunday. They also
accuse him of demanding a
clerk at the Ramada Inn in Ha-
zle Township give him money in
a holdup at 10:28 p.m. Sunday.
The clerk did not comply and
Hausman fled.
State police were notified and
his description was provided to
other area businesses. At 11:30
Sunday night, Hausman was
seen at the Turkey Hill on state
Route 93, near Airport Road,
also in Hazle Township. He was
apprehended and charged with
robbery, theft, and retail theft
from the Turkey Hill on state
Route 924 and attempted theft
and attempted robbery at the
Ramada, state police said.
He was taken to the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility,
where he was still lodged Mon-
day night awaiting arraignment.
State police at Hazleton also
reported:
Brittany J. Hinkle, 16, no
place of residence given, report-
ed that someone placed a burn-
ing cigarette and leaves on the
front seat of her 1994 Chevrolet
Corsica that was parked in the
Kmart parking lot in Hazle
Township on Friday night. She
said her windows were left
down and the cigarette left a
burn hole in the drivers seat.
Someone stole $2 from a tip
jar at the Dunkin Donuts, 1190
N. Church St., Hazle Township,
Saturday night. Employees
report the man has done this
before.
A two-vehicle crash left two
people with minor injuries Sun-
day night in Sugarloaf Town-
ship.
State police said a Ford F-150
pickup with a trailer turned out
of P & R Trucking on Tomh-
icken Road at 3:15 p.m. and was
accelerating when a Honda
Civic driven by Joshua Lom-
bard, 22, of Lakeland, Ga., was
traveling too fast on the same
road and rear-ended the trailer.
Two passengers of the Ford, a
16-year-old female and 43-year-
old Melissa Peters, of Shickshin-
ny, received minor injuries and
were taken by Sugarloaf EMS to
Hazleton General Hospital.
The driver of the pickup,
Brian Brutosky, 40, of Shickshin-
ny, was not injured. Neither
were his passengers, Justin
Lovett, 22, and Jonathan Lovett,
20, both of Sugarloaf Township.
BUTLER TWP. -- Township
police are investigating the
robbery of the Econo Lodge
Motel on North Hunter High-
way that occurred late Friday
night.
According to police, a clerk
reported that a man wearing
camouflage over his face en-
tered the motel and demanded
money.
The man concealed his hand
inside his clothing as if he had a
gun. The clerk was not injured
in the robbery, and the suspect
fled into a wooded area near the
motel.
Anyone with information is
asked to contact township po-
lice at 788-3230.
WILKES-BARRE City

threw her to the floor during an
argument Friday night.
POLICE BLOTTER
We will get through this.
Dr. Lois Margaret Nora
The interim president and dean of The
Commonwealth Medical College took over six weeks
ago. Among her challenges: funding uncertainties
caused by the economy, the governors plan to end
$5 million in state funding, the need to lay off 12
staff and eight faculty members and a national accrediting groups
decision to place the fledgling Scranton-based school on probation.
Reader blasts planned cut
of West Side Tech sports
A
t the West Side Career and Technology
Centers Joint Operating Committee
meeting held June 27, the committee
voted on a final budget that included the
elimination of sports.
There was an 8-6 vote in favor of the
elimination. Some coaches offered to coach
for free. There was no talk of pay-to-play,
fundraising, etc. They just cut it without
giving anyone a chance to do some of these
things to keep it.
Dallas, which is getting a new school
built, and Wyoming Valley West, which I
think still has a bad taste in its mouth over
other issues at West Side CTC, did not give
a single no vote. This is something I,
along with a lot of others, will remember
during election time.
This issue is now in the hands of the five
sending school districts board members. I
hope they think this through before they
make the mistake of dropping sports at
West Side CTC. I would just like them to
think about what athletics has done for
them, their kids or grandkids. Some of you
got your educations and have the jobs you
now enjoy because of sports.
We need to petition our sending districts,
whether it be Dallas, Wyoming Valley West,
Wyoming Area, Lake-Lehman or Northwest.
Taking sports away at West Side CTC
would not only hurt the school, I think the
number of kids attending the school will
be reduced and with the elimination of
the schools recruiter, Lorri Vandermark,
who has gotten the school to its highest
attendance might crush the school.

Reader questions Caseys
commitment to pro-life
L
arry Smar, deputy chief of staff for U.S.
Sen. Robert Casey Jr., recently sought
to defend the senators pro-life stance
as one focused on reducing the number of
unintended pregnancies and abortions,
while valuing life at every stage.
Unfortunately, the senators record does
not qualify for that lofty evaluation. It
shows he voted for a health care bill that
lacked tough abortion language. He voted
against the Mexico City Policy, which
sought to eliminate foreign aid funding for
abortion. The Bishop of Scranton scolded
him for that vote, saying it would mean
the deaths of thousands of unborn chil-
dren.
Since assuming office in 2007, Sen.
Casey has received $327,914 from groups
advocating abortion rights. These include
Planned Parenthood, EMILYs List, NOW
(the National Organization for Women),
and NARAL (National Abortion and Re-
productive Rights Action League). These
facts were reported by the Catholic News
Agency.
If you follow his actions and the mon-
ey, and not his words, its hard to cate-
gorize him as pro-life. Its a classic example
of trying to have it both ways.
Sen. Casey has opportunities in the
future to back what he says he supports, to
show his true colors.
He could vote for the Life at Concep-
tion Act, thus supporting his purported
view that life does indeed begin at concep-
tion, as science confirms. Passage of this
law will be the end of Roe v. Wade.
Until that comes to pass, he could vote
to de-fund Roe v. Wade by votes big and
small, such as any future votes on the
Mexico City Policy, health care and fund-
ing for pro-abortion organizations.

AND THEN there were
none.
On Thursday, Nancy
Tkatch finished her final
day as Northwest Area
School District superin-
tendent, leaving a job she
held for eight years. She was the last of what
had been a small local vanguard of the once-
unthinkable: female superintendents.
In 2003, Luzerne Countys 11 public
school districts came within a month of
having three female superintendents: Ger-
aldine Shepperson in Hazleton Area, Alberta
Griffiths in Hanover Area and Tkatch.
Shepperson was forced to leave that Au-
gust by a board that had marginalized her
for months, while Tkatch was appointed just
weeks after Sheppersons departure.
Griffiths died two years later.
Tkatchs departure might seem amicable,
but it is not voluntary. Her contract was up
for renewal and a new school board wanted
a new direction. Meanwhile, Betsy Ellis was
retiring as Career Center administrative
director, and for Tkatch, the timing was
perfect and the job an almost ironic fit.
She freely admits that as a teenager she
had no intention of attending college. She
studied culinary arts at Wilkes-Barre Vo-
Tech and planned to enter the field as soon
as she got the diploma. A string of unexpect-
ed opportunities emerged, and she took
them.
Now she has multiple degrees and certifi-
cations, is leaving the top position in the
school district to head a vo-tech, though
these days they are called career centers.
Its not surprising that she has become an
eloquent proponent of comprehensive
change to our schools. She argues for a
focus from kindergarten to high school
diploma on making sure every student has
the skills needed to pursue a career, whether
right away or through more education.
It also is not surprising that she sees the
dearth of local female superintendents as a
regional failure. I agree.
People make assumptions on what gen-
der brings to a job, Tkatch said.
This is no indictment of the current crop
of (now all-male) superintendents in our
county. Tkatch gives her colleagues praise.
It might be that there still arent enough
qualified women applying for the job. But as
I noted after Griffith died, local districts
often groom someone from within. They
could groom a woman as easily as a man.
But it is more likely because, without
exception, women are never more than a
small minority on any board in the county.
There are some strong-willed, very active
women in those seats, but they are still few
and far between.
One reason often given for putting qual-
ified women into positions such as district
superintendent is the need for role models.
When kids see someone like themselves in a
job, its easier for them to aspire to that job.
(This is also why we should work to get
more men teaching elementary grades).
But theres a more compelling reason.
Getting qualified women and for that
matter, qualified minorities into high-level
positions such as school district superin-
tendent is not a matter of political correct-
ness or gender equality. It is a matter of
common sense. We need to develop and use
everyones talents to their fullest.
Our inability to produce or find qualified
female superintendents makes us look like
were stuck in the 1950s.

HE SYRIAN disside-
nts who were allowed
by the Baathist re-
gime to meet June 27
in a Damascus hotel are not
leaders of the current protests
in the street but the younger
activists should form lines of
communication with them,
rather than carp at them as
dupes of the state.
The Damascus Declaration
Coalitionandother groups fear
the government will exploit
the Semiramis Hotel meeting
to pretend that freedom has
come to Syria.
But there is little danger of
that, after the killing of at least
1,300 people at demonstra-
tions, the arrest of about12,000
and the flight of 11,000 refu-
gees over the border.
The organizers of the meet-
ing are not puppets. No such
event has happened in dec-
ades. Its principal instigator,
Luay Hussain, called the re-
gimeasystemof tyranny, and
their concluding communiqu
advocated a popular uprising.
On the other hand, the leaders
of the uprisingwere wise not to
attend; the governments secu-
rity forces were watching.
Their meeting was not the
beginning of a Syrian era of
glasnost, but it does open a
door, if ever so slightly. And
that is a change for the better.

HE International
Criminal Court war-
rant against Libyan
leader Moammar
Gadhafi doesnt really come as
a surprise to anyone.
Given the international out-
rage over the regimes contin-
uing atrocities against its own
people and the Wests strug-
gling military campaign, this
was to be expected. Notwith-
standing the hypocrisy often
demonstrated in such cases, it
has to be said that the ICC
charges brought against the Li-
byan trio Gadhafi, his son
Seif Al-Islam and intelligence
chief Al-Senussi are far from
unreasonable and unjustified.
Thousands have been killed
inthe crackdownby the Libyan
regime since the popular upris-
ing began nearly four months
ago. All attempts to talk sense
into the maverick Libyandicta-
tor, who has ruled the country
with an iron hand for more
than four decades, have failed.
On the oth-
er hand, the
opposition
fighters have
failed to
make any
substantial
progress de-
spite the
moral support they have re-
ceived. The unprecedented
NATO-U.S. military campaign
has sofar failedtobreakthe ob-
stinacy of Gadhafi.
The ICCwarrant against the
regime for its crimes against
humanity will therefore come
as a much-needed shot in the
armfor the opposition. It could
very well prove the proverbial
last straw on the camels back
for Gadhafi, although there are
fears that the ICC move also
could make the colonel desper-
ately dangerous. Let us hope
for the best.

Bridge, Dennison Township,
$320,000; Marchakitus Road
Bridge, Lehman Township,
$375,000; Moss Road Bridge,
Fairmount Township, $400,000;
Reese Road Bridge, Union Town-
ship, $290,000; and Old State
Road Bridge, Ross Township,
$275,000.
Replacement of these bridges
was delayed because the county
had to negotiate federal funding
for the projects with the Federal
Emergency Management Agen-
cy, Gibbons said.
The county must build the
bridges to comply with current
lane widths and other safety fea-
tures, but the federal government
only wanted to fund the cost of
structures the dimensions of the
ones destroyed, Gibbons said.
After rounds of back-and-forth,
the federal government agreed to
reimburse the county anywhere
from70 to 95 percent of the cost,
Gibbons said. The countys share
comes out of capital bond fund-
ing borrowed in the past, he said.
The bridge thats ready to open
is on Main Street in Sugarloaf
Township, crossing Nescopeck
Creek.
The original steel structure
was built in 1895 and was closed
by the county several years ago
because of safety concerns, Gib-
bons said.
The county initiated a federal
funding request to replace the 85-
foot-longbridgein2004. Thenew
bridge cost $1.018 million, with
80 percent of the tab pickedupby
the federal government. The
state is covering the rest.
The new bridge is finished
with stained, concrete forms to
make it look like natural stone,
Gibbons said.
We try to mimic the kind of
stone thats in the creek so it kind
of blends it in, he said.
The same type of finish will be
used for bridges on Chase and
Hillside roads that cross Hunts-
ville Creek because both spans
are near The Lands at Hillside
Farms, Gibbons said. Both
bridges will also have a decora-
tive stone marking the construc-
tion date, he said. Construction
should start soon, he said.
Were trying to preserve the
historical attributes of the area,
he said. These bridges are de-
signed to last 100 years, so you
want to pay attention to aesthet-
ics, especially in historic dis-
tricts.
Three of the four bridges cur-
rently under construction Ma-
honey Road in Ross Township
and the East Sorber Mountain
Road and North Mountain Road
bridges in Lake Township were
destroyed by June 2006 flooding.
The fourth Breaker Road
Bridge over Solomon Creek in
Hanover Township was closed
about two years ago because of
safety concerns, Gibbons said.
The replacement bridge will cost
about $1.5 million.
The county ended up owning
and maintaining most of its
bridges during the Great Depres-
sion, when the court ordered a
takeover because townships and
municipalities didnt have the fi-
nancial means to take care of the
structures, Gibbons said.
Thats howwe got most of our
roads as well, he said. The coun-
ty owns and maintains 127 miles
of roadway scattered throughout
the county.

worry about that later.
Even the famed Agnes flood,
which caused millions of dollars
in damage throughout North-
east Pennsylvania in1972, didnt
leave this section of Plymouth in
such dire straits.
Agnes was nowhere near
this, Mazur said.
Brian Wrightson, director of
emergency services for the Red
Cross of Northeastern and Cen-
tral Pennsylvania, saidthat inhis
15 years of responding to disas-
ters this is the worst flash flood-
ing Ive seen in this area in a long
time.
He said more than 125 people
have been affected and a service
center has been set up at the
Goodwill Hose Co. on West
Main Street in the borough. It
will reopen today at 1 p.m. and
remain open until 7 p.m. People
can get information on help for
the damage done to their proper-
ties as well as cleanup kits and
mops.
An emergency shelter would
have opened in the Plymouth
Township municipal building if
the need arose, Wrightson said,
but nobody requested overnight
shelter. He said many people
who sought help at the service
center Monday said they were
staying with friends or family or
would remain in their home,
even though the structures were
damaged by Sundays flooding.
The borough is urging people
whose property was damaged to
call the borough building at 779-
1011. The more people who re-
port damage, the more funds
may be freed up by emergency
management agencies.
Mazur spent Sunday night,
the wee hours of Monday morn-
ing and well into Monday eve-
ning surveying damage, walking
the streets talking to people,
snapping pictures and docu-
menting whatever damage he
could find. He did not sleep and
said he wasnt alone.
Boroughpolice, volunteer fire-
fighters, street department
workers and other volunteers
worked nonstop clearing debris,
assisting residents, pumping out
basements and surveying dam-
age.
By Monday night, Mazur said
he and others had done all they
could do in a 24-hour span. Main
Street and Shawnee Avenue
were washed down and cleared.
Other streets were a lot better
looking than they were just a day
earlier.
Were not in too bad of
shape, Mazur said after enjoy-
ing two hot dogs as part of his In-
dependence Day dinner.
He thanked the contractors
who heeded the holiday call to
do some emergency work and all
the volunteers who did what
they could with little to no sleep.
He said nobody is to blame for
what happened. No dams were
breached, no drainage issues
were responsible.
It was an act of God, Mazur
said.
Looking out of his window
Sunday at about 5 p.m., Mazur
said he saw the wind begin to
pick up, saw the skies darken,
then the hail began falling and
then the heavens opened.
His 18-foot round pool, which
he leaves filled 8 inches to the
top, hadwater to the rimafter 45
minutes.
Other than his damaged deck
and picnic table, his home was
spared. But homes across the
street were deluged with water
and sustained damage.
He said the slope of the road
kept water on the opposite side
of Coal Street.

A stop sign is bent over Monday from the tree limbs, roots and other debris that washed down Coal Street in Plymouth on Sunday.
DAMAGE

FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Major damage was done to a stone bridge on Coal Street just above Mill Street in Plymouth during
flash flooding Sunday.
FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Alan Valunas hoses down a fence Monday on Ransom Street in
Plymouth after Sundays flooding.
They cant drive down Coal
Street because the street is gone.
The rushing water caused it to
buckle and collapse. From Mill
Street up, the roadis impassable.
Several residents dont have a
way to get out.
A Chevrolet Blazer that was
parked on the street was lifted
and carried about 100 yards,
coming to rest on its roof in the
middle of the ripped-up street.
Mud, debris and rocks are every-
where; yards have been washed
away, exposing huge water lines
and storm sewer lines.
Power lines fell andcrews were
working Monday to restore elec-
tricity to some of the homes hit
bythe storm. Autilitypole witha
streetlight attached fell across
the street.
Joe Mazur, Plymouths bor-
ough manager, lives at 108-114
Coal St. He watchedthe flooding
fromhis front porch. He couldnt
believe his eyes.
The rain came down so hard
andsofast, he saidMonday. All
that runoff from the mountain
just went into the creek and
washedeverythingawaywithit.
Mazur said he and other bor-
ough officials will meet with rep-
resentatives of Pennsylvania
Emergency Management Agen-
cy today to assess the damage
and to ask for help.
Ive talked to state Sen. John
Yudichak and state Rep. Gerald
Mullery, and they said they will
do what they can to get us help,
Mazur said. This happened
once before, in 1947. We need a
lot of helptofixthis. There has to
be millions and millions of dol-
lars of damage.
Joe Judzikowski has lived at
125Coal St. for sixyears. The wa-
ter washedawaymost of his yard,
leaving his foundation exposed.
He said he hopes the state and
federal governments come to the
peoples aid.
We need answers, he said.
Many wondered where all the
water came fromwithsuchforce.
Some speculated one of the four
reservoirs on Plymouth Moun-
tain had been compromised. But
Mazur quickly dispelled the ru-
mors.
Thosefour reservoirs werere-
moved years ago, he said. This
water just came down the moun-
tain and into the creek.
Gary Neupauers home on
Coal Street was spared any dam-
age. He said he watched the wa-
ter and couldnt believe what it
caused.
There was just too much wa-
ter for the creek to handle, Neu-
pauer said.
Joseph Mentyka Sr. is 92 and
he has lived at 126 Coal St. for 54
years. His basement filled with
water from the storm, rising to
just one foot from entering his
first floor. His son, Joe, Jr., said
they had been pumping water all
day on Monday.
People on Poplar Street, sever-
al blocks away, were shoveling
mudfrominfront of their homes.
They said a creek runs under
their homes andswelledsomuch
that sidewalks and the street
were uprooted as the water
gushed.
WewerehomeandI smelleda
strong scent of methane gas,
Bob Warman of 133 Poplar St
said. He pointed to a large con-
crete slab that was lying on the
street.
Thats my sidewalk, he said.
It was right here. He pointedto
an uncovered area where water
could be seen flowing near the
foundation of his house.
Warman said officials have
toldhimthereis anatural creek
running under his house and un-
der the street.
Look in there, he said.
There are two concrete walls on
either side. It looks like some-
body built a creek wall there.
Warman and his wife, Janice,
have questions. They said bor-
ough officials were around, but
were non-committal on whether
help is on the way.
Somebody needs to fix this
situation, said Tammy Wolfe,
who lives at 126 Poplar St. Her
mother, Eleanor Ferkel, lives at
128 Poplar.
Obviously the drainage sys-
tem needs to be fixed, Wolfe
said. This cant happen again.
Coal and Poplar streets are in
need of major repairs. Most of
each street needs to be replaced.
Neighbors on Poplar Street such
as Helen Kibildis have base-
ments filled with mud, debris
and water.
If it rains hardagain, we could
have more major problems, Ki-
bildis said. Shes lived in the
house at 137 Poplar St. for more
than60years. Imworriedabout
my foundation.
Other sections of Plymouth,
Flat Road, Ransom Street and
many streets in Plymouth Town-
ship also received heavy damage
from mud, debris and water.
We intendtofight for our peo-
ple, Mazur said. Well have
more information after (todays)
meeting.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
The four astronauts who will
close out NASAs 30-year space
shuttle program arrived Monday
for their history-making launch
week, saluting the nations birth-
day and all those who contribut-
ed to Atlantis final flight.
The launch countdown begins
today. Liftoff is set for Friday at
11:26 a.m. before an estimated
crowd of up to 1 million people.
Commander Christopher Fer-
guson and his crew received
small American flags as launch
director Mike Leinbach greeted
themout onthe runway. The four
needed just two training jets for
the flight fromtheir training base
in Houston.
This is a day thats decidedly
American, a daywhere we kindof
reflect on our independence and
all the wonderful things that we
really have as a part of beingUnit-
edStates of America, saidFergu-
son, a retired Navy captain.
Its wonderful that youve all
came out to join us, he told the
approximately 65 photographers
and other journalists who
swarmed the runway. He urged
themto go andenjoy some barbe-
cue, fireworks and apple pie.
Altogether, about 2,500 mem-
bers of the news media have re-
quested credentials to cover the
launch. As of Monday, the esti-
mated total crowd count also had
risen: NASA spokesman Allard
Beutel said between 750,000 and
1 million people now are expect-
ed to jam the area to witness the
end to shuttle history.
Thats considerably more than
the crowds that showed up for
Discoverys last liftoff in Febru-
ary and Endeavours in May.
Atlantis will make a supply run
to the International Space Sta-
tion, before joining Discovery
and Endeavour in retirement.

REDON, France Two months ago, Tyler Far-
rar was demoralized, sleeping 20 hours a day. He
had even stopped riding, overcome by sorrowafter
his best friend died in a crash at the Giro dItalia.
On Monday, Farrar became the first American to
win a stage of the Tour de France on the Fourth of
July. It was the first time he had won a stage
in cyclings showcase race, and he dedicat-
ed the victory to the late Wouter Wey-
landt of Belgium.
Its a little bit unbelievable to me at
the moment that it actually happened,
said Farrar, who pulled out of the Giro
after the accident.
After crossing the finish line, Farrar
held up his hands to form a W with
his fingers and thumbs in tribute to
Weylandt.

watch their son pitch.
However, late Sunday night he in-

The extra eight hours in the car paid
off as Hall went out and helped the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees to a
5-3 victory over Lehigh Valley in front
of 10,321 fans at PNC Field Monday
night.
They were in West Virginia and
were headed to Richmond, Hall said.
I called them at about 11:30 and said,
Guys Im going up to Triple-A, do you
mind detouring and going up north?
The IronPigs struck first in the
game, taking a 1-0 lead on a solo blast
off the scoreboard in left-center by
John Mayberry Jr. in the first inning.
It was Mayberrys fourth homer of
the season.
The Yankee offense teed off during a

CLEVELAND In 10 years,
Austin Kearns has just two career
hits against A.J. Burnett.
Hes made them both count.
Kearns hit his first homer in105
at-bats this season, a stunning
three-run shot in the seventh in-
ning off Burnett, sending the Cle-
veland Indians to a 6-3 win and
spoiling All-Star shortstop Derek
Jeters return to
the Yankees li-
neup Monday
night.
With two on and
the Indians trail-
ing 2-1, Kearns,
who has been in a
slump all season,
hit a 1-0 pitch
from Burnett
(8-7) the oppo-
site way to right
for his first homer
since Aug. 22,
when he wore
Yankee pin-
stripes.
Kearns came up
batting only .192
with two RBIs in a part-time
role.
He was only1of 11against
Burnett a grand slamas a
rookie in 2002 for Cincinnati.
Its a funny game, Kearns
said.
Jeter was back in his familiar
spot at shortstop and again atop
the batting order for the first time
since June 13, when he went on
the disabled list with a calf injury.
New Yorks captain went 0 for 4
andremainedsixshy of becoming
the first Yankees player to reach
3,000 hits.
I felt fine, no problems, no is-
sues, Jeter said. I was nervous at
the beginning, almost like it was
opening day again. It was just
nerves. Three weeks is definitely
a long time to be out. I felt better

WILKES-BARRE Chris Wa-
das and Regan Rome ran to easy
victories in the YMCA3 Mile Run
on Independence Day.
But despite the easy wins, both
runners werent satisfied with
their finishing times.
The humidity surely played ha-
voc with their performances.
Wadas, 29, of Plains Township,
broke the tape in 15 minutes and
nine seconds. The Misericordia
University track and cross coun-
try coach outran sec-
ond-place finisher
Chris Ehret,
17, of Dallas,
by 1:04. James Bear Maloney,
22, of Scranton, finished third,
five seconds behind Ehret. And
last years winner, former Lock
Haven University standout Jeff
Skwierz, 28, of Pringle, finished
fourth, just a split-second behind
Maloney.
I didnt do too well, said a
slightly disappointedWadas, who
runs for the Keystone Track Club,
based in Harrisburg. I finished
the first mile in 4:53. But after
that first mile, I didnt feel too
comfortable.
I ran through the last two
miles in10:16, Wadas continued,
while shaking his head. Thats
not good. Thats a workout pace
for me. I just didnt have it. It
wasnt my day.

H
e was decorated in a special
Independence Day uniform that
resembled an American flag,
just like the rest of his Trenton Thun-
der teammates.
Only this was Derek Jeter, the cap-
tain of the New York Yankees.
Looked like Captain America,
Yankees general manager Brian Cash-
man said with a laugh.
Jeter smiled.
The Yankees got a good hoot too,
when Cashman sent them pictures he
clicked during Jeters dress rehearsal
Sunday night.
Heres the captain, Cashman said
he teasingly warned the team. Try to
do everything you can do not to get
injured so you dont end up looking
like this.
Nobodys joking around now.
Jeter returned to the Yankees on
Monday after a weekend rehabilitation
stint at Double-A Trenton, where he
successfully proved his aching calf that
forced him to miss 19 games is healthy
enough for him to play for New York
again.
Is he still skilled enough to stay
there?
Now in his 17th season with the
Yankees, at the age of 37, Jeter doesnt
make people jump from their seats as
he once did.
His .260 batting average through the
first half of this year, coming off a .270
season in his contract year, suggest
Jeter is in decline from the player who
owns a .312 lifetime batting average.
He went into Mondays game at Cleve-
land needing just six hits to reach the
prestigious 3,000 mark for his career,
but those hits are coming fewer and
further between for him.
It is why Yankee fans, and maybe
the Yankees themselves, are becoming
so enamored with the shortstop across
town who plays for the Mets. But as
electrifying as Jose Reyes can be, hes
had problems staying in the lineup
himself.
Jeter rarely comes out, having
played in at least 148 games during 14
of the past 15 seasons.
I dont like sitting out, Jeter said.
Fans continue to love the way he
plays the game, which is why a record
crowd of 9,212 people turned out to
watch Jeter at Waterfront Park.
It didnt take long for Jeter to fill the
park with energy.
It was nothing more than a final
tuneup in Trenton for him Sunday, but
Jeter played it the way he always does
like the World Series was on the
line.
He barely broke stride going from
first to third when the left fielder bun-
gled a base hit. His lunge couldnt
snare a sinking liner in the field, but
his quick-witted flip to second record-
ed an out on the play. He didnt need
help completing a double play against
Altoona a couple innings later.
And for every little flub Jeter com-
mitted an error and struck out to the
delight of some Altoona Curve fans
who gleefully implored him to retire
Jeter flashed baseball brilliance.
The defining moment of what he is
about, what he has always been about,
came when he dropped down a bunt
for a base hit with two men on base
during his final at-bat in the fifth in-
ning.
He was back, Jeter said of the
Altoona third baseman, we needed
runners on base, we were losing at the
time. Its something I would do during
the course of the season. Why not do
it here?
Still had to play the game.
Its never mattered to Jeter whether
that game was going on in Double-A
Trenton or amid the thrills of the
postseason at Yankee Stadium.
Hes ready to go, Cashman pro-
claimed.
Always.

MIAMI Progress in Ryan
Madsons bruised right hand is
difficult to judge because the
Phillies closer has declined on
multiple occasions to speak
about his injury. Andas the calen-
dar creeps toward the all-star
break, a return in the first half be-
came less and less likely.
With only six games (in seven
days) left inthe seasons first half,
Madson was officially ruled out
from retuning before the break.
Rich Dubee said Monday it was
impossible because Madson has
yet to even throw off a mound
during his recovery process.
I dont know when hell be on
the mound, Dubee said, before
later adding he hopes it happens
sometime in the next week.
Eventhen, Madsonwill require
a stint of minor-league games to
return to pitching shape. With
the time off for the break, Mad-
son could go a month between
appearances in the majors.
His last game was June 18, al-
most a month after the injury ac-
tually occurred in a May 20 game
against Texas. In the13 games af-
ter being struck by a David Mur-
phy liner, Madson had a 4.15
ERA. Dubee said his grip was af-
fected.
His fastball and cutter were
very tough (to throw), Dubee
said. He just didnt have
strength in his fingers to throw
the ball.
There has been progress, Du-
bee said. That has come in the
form of long tossing Saturday
and Sunday. Madson played
catch again Monday.
Victorino sits
Twenty-four hours of online
voting put Shane Victorino in the
lead of the Final Vote for the
34th spot on the National League
All-Star roster. During that same
span, the Phillies centerfielder
foundhimself out of Charlie Man-
uels lineup with a swollen right
thumb.
That was a result of Victorinos
belly flop in the sixth inning of
Sundays loss to Toronto. What
happened on that play?
Other than utter embarrass-
ment? Victorino said, laughing.
Other than me having turf in my
mouth when I got up?
Victorinos left cleat was
caught in the Rogers Centre turf
and tumbled to the ground, jam-
ming his right finger in the proc-
ess. Manuel said Victorino was
completely unavailable for Mon-
day because gripping a bat was
too tough. Victorino does not ex-
pect to miss much time.
Its a little sore, he said, but
its all right.
Polanco sees stars
Placido Polanco is the first to
admit a pinched nerve in his back
is hurting him and has affected
his swing. So why not rest it dur-
ing the all-star break?
I dont know when Id be able
to play in another All-Star
Game, Polanco said.
The 35-year-old third baseman
was electedbyfans tostart for the
National League. Polanco figures
a few innings and one or two at-
bats wont have any effect on his
status.
Tome, if hecanplaythegame,
Id let him, Manuel said. Thats
kind of how I look at it.
Extra bases
Brad Lidge (torn rotator cuff)
began his official rehab assign-
ment with a scoreless inning for
single-A Lakewood. Lidge al-
lowed two singles and threw 15
pitches. ... Joe Blanton (right el-
bow inflammation) threw a bull-
pen session Monday in Clearwa-
ter, Fla. It was the first time since
May 19 that Blanton threw off a
mound. He was fine, Dubee
said. ... A name to watch: Juan
Rivera. He was designated for as-
signment by Toronto after Sun-
days game and could provide a
righthanded outfield option for
the Phillies. Rivera, 33, was hit-
ting .327 with a .909 OPS in 65
plate appearances against lefties
this season but the Blue Jays
were fed up with his inability to
be an everyday player and his
$5.25 million salary.

WASHINGTON Roger
Clemens tenacious pursuit of vic-
tory on the pitchers mound is re-
emerging as he enters federal
court this weektofight charges he
lied about using drugs and to try
to ruthlessly discredit the former
friend who says he did.
Clemens is charged with perju-
ry, false statements and obstruc-
tion of Congress for telling a
House committee under oaththat
he never used performance-en-
hancing drugs during his 23-sea-
son career. The record-setting
pitcher who once seemed a sure
bet for baseballsHall of Famenow
could face pris-
on if 12 jurors
agree that he
lied and unani-
mously agree to
convict him.
The trial of
the United
States vs. Wil-
liamR. Clemens, scheduled to be-
ginWednesdayandlast 4-6weeks,
will bringaparadeof celebrityath-
letes and plenty of sordid details
to the staid Washington federal
courthouse. It will feature testi-
mony about illicit drugs, bloody
evidence of injections, an abscess
on Clemens backside allegedly
caused by steroid use and allega-
tionsthat hisaccuser isaserial liar
and a rapist.
Clemens isnt the only all-star
baseball player to be criminally
charged for lying about drug use,
and prosecutors have a mixed re-
cord. Infielder Miguel Tejada
pleaded guilty in 2009 to a misde-
meanor for withholding informa-
tionabout anex-teammatesuseof
drugs whenquestionedin2005by
congressional investigators. But
in their first jury test, prosecutors
were able to convict home run
kingBarryBondsof just onecount
of obstruction of justice in April
for giving an evasive answer to a
grandjurywhenaskedabout drug
use. The jury deadlocked on the
three remaining counts that
Bonds made a false statement by
saying he never knowingly re-
ceived steroids and human
growth hormone fromhis trainer.
But unlike the Bonds trial,
where the trainer who allegedly
provided injections refused to tes-
tify against his former boss and
friend, Clemens strength trainer,
Brian McNamee, is the prosecu-
tions leading witness.
For a decade, McNamee
worked out intensely with Clem-
ens and helped shape The Rock-
et into one of the most powerful
pitchersinthemajorleagues, even
into middle age. McNamee also
says he injectedClemens withste-
roids and human growth hor-
mone, andevenkept theusednee-
dles that will be key scientific evi-
dence at trial.
But McNamee, a former New
York City police officer, is not an
ideal witness for the prosecution.
He actedas a drugdealer tosever-
al major league players and ac-
knowledges he hasnt always told
the truthwhenaskedabout Clem-
ens drug use and other matters.
McNamee initially denied giving
Clemens drugs, he says out of loy-
alty to his best and longtime cli-
ent, but eventually admitted to
federal agents he injected the sev-
en-time Cy Young Award winner.
Clemens main defense has
been to discredit McNamee,
whom Clemens attorneys de-
scribed in a recent court filing as
the only person in the entire
worldwhohaseverallegedthat he
witnessed Mr. Clemens use per-
formance enhancing drugs at any
time in his storied career.
Clemens lawyers accuse
McNamee of being a congenital
liar who made up the allegations
against their client tosave himself
fromdrugcharges. Theyalsowant
to introduce evidence that in 2001
McNamee drugged and raped a
woman, thenliedtopolicewhoin-
vestigated the allegation but nev-
er charged McNamee with a
crime. If Mr. McNamees mouth
is moving, hes making an incon-
sistent statement, Clemens at-
torney Rusty Hardinsaidduring a
recent hearing.
Prosecutors arefightingtokeep
out evidence of the sexual assault
investigation and plan to call sev-
eral witnesses to back up McNa-
mees allegations against Clem-
ens. Among them are Clemens
former Yankee teammates Andy
Pettitte, Chuck Knoblauch and
Mike Stanton, who all admit get-
ting performance enhancing
drugs from McNamee. Pettitte is
particularly important because
hes the only witness besides
McNameewhosayshespokewith
Clemens about his drug use.
The six felony counts against
Clemens stem from the House
Government Reform Commit-
tees 2008 investigation into the
use of performance-enhancing
drugs inbaseball. Former Sen. Ge-
orge Mitchell had recently pub-
lished a 400-page report that
named Clemens and 85 other for-
mer and current major league
players as users.

This has been a horrible last
two months with everything that
happened in the Giro, Farrar
said. Ive had a lot of ups and
downs. But in the end, I wanted
to be able to come back, and do
something special to pay tribute,
and this is certainly the biggest
stage in the world to do that.
Farrar, a sprint specialist from
Wenatchee, Wash., who rides for
Garmin-Cervelo, sped ahead in
the last few hundred yards of the
123-mile course fromOlonne-sur-
Mer to Redon to win the third
stage. He has now won a stage in
each of cyclings three-week ma-
jor tours France, Italy and
Spain.
The previous American to win
a Tour de France stage was Levi
Leipheimer, whoin2007was first
in the individual time trial in An-
gouleme.
I certainly would have taken it
on any day, Farrar said. But as
an American, winning on the
Fourthof July, its the icingonthe
cake. ... Lucky me.
Norways Thor Hushovd kept
the Tour de Frances yellow jer-
sey.
Hushovd, however, is a sprint
specialist and is not expected to
hold his lead through the moun-
tains in the second and third
weeks.
The top of the standings didnt
change muchafter the mostly flat
trip into western Brittany that in-
cluded a ride on a wind-swept
suspension bridge over the
famed Loire River.
It was during the third stage of
another race the Giro in Italy
on May 9 when Weylandt
clipped a wall on a steep descent.
He fell off his bike and slammed
his head on the ground, dying al-
most instantly.
It was the first death of a rider
at one of the major tours in 16
years.
Jonathan Vaughters, the Gar-
min-Cervelo team manager, said
that from the time Farrar was 15
years old Weylandt was his best
friend.
He was almost two weeks
without riding his bike at all, and
sleeping 20 hours every day, and
just totally, totally, totally demor-
alized, he said. But then he
started training.
Farrar rode in the weeklong
Dauphine Libere in France and
the lesser-known Ster ZLM Tour
inJune. Vaughters saidthat was a
bit of a risk.
It was probably the heaviest
racing program of any sprinter,
he said. But we had to do it as an
emergency to get him going be-
cause he had taken so much time
off, which was understandable.
But it got him in shape.
Vaughters said he wasnt going
to push Farrar to ride again, add-
ing that he would have under-
stood if the 27-year-old American
decided to wait until next year to
race again.
I simply said: Tyler when you
are ready, we are ready tosupport
you. he said. That simple, real-
ly.
Farrar gave Garmin-Cervelo a
second straight victory following
a win in Sundays time trial that
left Hushovd with the yellow
shirt.
Overall, Hushovd leads team-
mate David Millar of Britain, in
second, by a split second. Cadel
Evans of Australia of BMC is
third, a second back. Three-time
Tour champion Alberto Conta-
dor, who lost time Saturday after
becoming entangled in a crash, is
69th 1:42 behind the Norwe-
gian.
Others looking to contend for
the title on the Champs-Elysees
on July 24 include 2010 runner-
up Andy Schleck of Luxembourg
and Bradley Wiggins of Britain.
Schleckis eighthoverall andWig-
gins is10th, each four seconds off
the lead.
In Mondays final dash, the
HTC-Highroad team of British
sprint star Mark Cavendish lined
up near the 2.4-mile mark to es-
cort himto the finish line. But by
the last fewhundredyards, Hush-
ovd and Farrar had zoomed
ahead.
To have the world champion
and yellowjersey work for you to
launch the sprint, its crazy, Far-
rar said.
The American nosed ahead of
Frances Romain Feillu, who was
second, and Spains Jose Joaquin
Rojas, who was third. Farrar and
a pack all had the same time: 4
hours, 40 minutes, 21 seconds.
Five breakaway riders jumped
out early in the stage from the
coastal town of Olonne-sur-Mer,
building a lead of as much as 8
minutes, 5 seconds by the 46-
mile mark. The fast-moving pack
reeled them all in with 5.5 miles
to go.
Hushovd could be pressured
for the lead as soon as today
when the pack travels 107 miles
fromLorient to Mur de Bretagne
witha super-steep, 1.2-mileuphill
finish.
For now, Garmin is reveling in
two straight days of success on
the Tour.
Just keep drinking cham-
pagne, as long as my liver can
handle it, Vaughters said.
And about the Independence
Day win?
Yeah, an American winning
on Fourth of July, thats pretty
goodI just thought of that, he
said. Were going to have to read
the Constitution in the bus or
something.

REDON, France Jonathan
Vaughters received another
email from his good friend Sen.
John Kerry, who was congrat-
ulating the manager of the Gar-
min-Cervelo team for a stage
win at the Tour de France.
Kerrys a massive cycling
fan, Vaughters told The Associ-
ated Press on Monday. Hes got
a (Garmin-Cervelo) jersey and
shorts, he always rides in it.
Vaughters showed the AP an
email he had received from the
Massachusetts senator after
Sundays victory in the team
time trial, adding that he got
another congratulatory note
on Monday after American
sprinter Tyler Farrar had won
the third stage.
Vaughters said he received
the following note from Kerry
on Sunday after stage 2:
Congratulations on a terrific
showing today. It was really fun
to watch you guys set pace,
focused and disciplined and to
listen to your exhortations.
Hope to get over, maybe to-
wards the end (of the Tour). All
the best, John Kerry.
EVANS FEARS THIN
ROADS: Cadel Evans is worried
that the roads at the Tour de
France are getting a bit too thin
and dangerous.
The two-time Tour runner-up
was in third place overall after
Mondays third stage, but he
was concerned about the lacy
bends near the end of the route
from Olonne-sur-Mer to Redon.
It was a nervous, dangerous
stage with a fair bit of wind in
the final, Evans said. It seems
they use more and more narrow
roads in the Tour. Its great for
excitement but puts the risk
rating up a bit high.
The Australian, who was the
Tour runner-up in 2007 and 08,
thanked veteran teammate
George Hincapie for keeping
him safe on the roads.
Fortunately, George and
Marcus (Burghardt) kept me in
front most of the time.
The 34-year-old Evans will get
a chance to test his climbing
legs in Tuesdays fourth stage,
which he should relish as it
features a final climb with an
average gradient of 6.9 percent
and some sections at 15 percent.
AMERICAN RIDERS: Ten
American riders celebrated
Independence Day on the roads
of the Tour de France. It is the
most American riders in the
race in 25 years.
Veterans like BMCs George
Hincapie and RadioShacks
Chris Horner were among the
U.S. riders taking stock of the
bumper crop from America this
year and looking to some
promising young compatriot
competitors.
Ten Americans at the Tour
de France just shows you how
much the sport has grown in the
U.S., said Hincapie, riding in
his 16th Tour. You know people
are really starting to realize
what a grueling sport this is,
and starting to respect it.
Tyler Farrar, among the
worlds best sprinters, became
the first American rider to win a
Tour stage on July 4 when he
won Mondays third stage.
GOING GREEN: Mark Caven-
dish was disqualified from an
intermediate sprint during Mon-
days third stage of the Tour,
dealing a blow to his hopes of
winning the green jersey as the
best sprinter in the race.
The HTC-Highroad cyclist
from the Isle of Man crossed the
intermediate sprint line in sixth
place during a stage tailor-made
for sprinters, but race officials
ruled he shouldnt have used his
head to push Thor Hushovd,
who had deviated from his line.
Hushovd, who currently leads
the race, was also disqualified
from the sprint.
Just discovered Thor & I
have been disqualified from the
intermediate sprint today. Seri-
ously no idea why? Cavendish
said on Twitter.

MINNEAPOLIS The Min-
nesota Wild have been search-
ing for the kind of dynamic goal
scorer who can put the puck in
the net in the blink of an eye, a
player who wont hesitate to let
a shot rip from anywhere in the
opposing goaltenders zip code,
ever since Marian Gaborik left
in 2009.
Here comes Dany Heatley,
who never met a shot on goal he
didnt like, determined to show
the rest of the league he can still
light the lamp with the best of
them.
The Wild landed Heatley
from San Jose on Sunday night,
sending forward Marty Havlat
to the Sharks in a straight-up
swap of two 30-year-old win-
gers. Heatley said Monday he
was excited to be coming to
Minnesota and couldnt wait to
prove that last years sub-par
season was a fluke.
As a goal scorer and a player,
you want to be that guy, Heat-
ley said.
Heatley had back-to-back 50-
goal seasons in 2005-06 and
2006-07 for the Ottawa Sen-
ators, but finished with only 26
goals last season for the Sharks.
Heatley played a month and a
half witha bro-
ken hand and
said he had
several other
nagging inju-
ries that held
him back.
Last year
wasnt the
greatest year for me personally,
but Im looking forward to get-
ting back there, Heatley said.
After the Sharks flamedout in
the playoffs yet again, San Jose
GMDougWilsonwas lookingto
switch things up. He found a
willing partner in Wild GM
ChuckFletcher, whose teamhas
missedtheplayoffs inbothof his
seasons as the teams top exec-
utive.
Fletcher fired coach Todd Ri-
chards, replacing him with the
Houston Aeros Mike Yeo, and
then sent All-Star defenseman
Brent Burns to the Sharks for a
package that included 24-year-
old goal scorer Devin Setoguchi
on draft night.
Fletcher said the biggest pri-
ority heading into the offseason
was injecting some juice into a
team that finished 30th in the
league in shots on goal and had
too many players who were bet-
ter suited to passing and setting
up others than finishing the
plays themselves.

WIMBLEDON, England
Novak Djokovic is on the path
to greatness, and one way to
fully grasp that is to focus not
on his many successes but
instead on a setback.
Indeed, for all of his accom-
plishments already in 2011
rising to the No. 1 ranking
Monday; two Grand Slam titles,
including a victory over Rafael
Nadal in the Wimbledon final
Sunday; $7.5 million in prize
money; a 48-1 record what
Djokovic himself relishes the
most is how he set aside his
lone loss.
He was unbeaten in 43
matches, dating to the Davis
Cup final in December, until
that run ended against 16-time
Grand Slam champion Roger
Federer in four sets in last
months French Open semi-
finals.
Djokovic could have been
devastated. He could have gone
into a tailspin. But after taking
a brief break, he returned to the
tour at Wimbledon and started
a new winning streak.
Im proud of many things, to
be honest, in this moment, but
something that comes up to my
mind is after having an incred-
ible run, an incredible year up
to Roland Garros, and then
losing that really epic semifinal
against Federer a great
match I managed to recover
and to come back in a great
style and to win Wimbledon for
the first time in my life, Djo-
kovic said Monday morning at
the All England Club during a
10-minute interview with two
reporters.
I think thats something that
I maybe wasnt managing to do
in the past, he added, and
right now, I am able to mentally
switch off and just recover
quickly and look to the next
challenge.
The key, Djokovic explained,
was that he didnt allow himself
to get too low after losing to
Federer.
That was a problem for Djo-
kovic in the past, such as when
he went through what he called
a crisis during the first half of
2010. He lost in the quarterfi-
nals at the Australian Open and
French Open both times
frittering away substantial leads
and in one stretch played in
five consecutive tournaments
without ever winning more
than three matches in a row.
He dwelled on those defeats.
But now I just didnt allow
myself to get to that position
anymore, because its just not
worth it. Its sport. You win;
you lose, Djokovic said Mon-
day. And I have played good
(against Federer). I didnt have
anything to regret, because the
(other) player was better that
day. So I just needed to sleep,
get some rest and come here
and perform my best. And I
have done that.
Among the things on the
24-year-old Serbs career To
Do list now are adding cham-
pionships at the two major
tournaments he hasnt won
the French Open and the U.S.
Open, where he was the runner-
up to Federer in 2007, and to
Nadal last year and a pro-
longed stay at No. 1.
This is what Im made for: I
want to win. Im a professional.
I want to win more majors,
more titles, he said. Obvi-
ously, the U.S. Open is the next
big thing.
As well as hes playing cur-
rently, Djokovic still sees room
to work on his game, particular-
ly his serve and getting to the
net more frequently. He pointed
to Nadal the man he re-
placed atop the ATP rankings
as someone whos set an
example by constantly figuring
out ways to get better.
As it is, the stroke that Djo-
kovic has improved the most
this season is his serve. In Sun-
days 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 victory
over Nadal, for example, Djo-
kovic didnt face a single break
point in either of the first two
sets.
But the area in which Djokov-
ic has made the most strides
over the past year is his self-
belief, something he and those
around him say received a big
boost when he helped Serbia
beat France for the 2010 Davis
Cup title.
He realized lots of things,
Djokovics mother, Dijana, said
Sunday about those matches in
Belgrade. You know, he ma-
tured, and then he start to play
as he play now.
France led the best-of-five
series 2-1 when Djokovic faced
top-10 player Gael Monfils on
the final day. If Monfils had
won that match, France would
have clinched the trophy. But
Djokovic won in straight sets,
and Serbia went on to win its
first Davis Cup.
I proved to myself that I can
really play like this, you know,
on the big stage, under big
pressure, in big events, the
same way, Djokovic said.
And thats exactly what hes
managed to do, over and over
and over.
I do experience that very
high confidence level that I
have. And I do experience that
Im mentally stronger than
ever, Djokovic said. So prob-
ably that gives me a slight ad-
vantage over my opponents.
Even the best opponents.
After entering 2011 with a
39-50 record against top-10
players, Djokovic is 14-1 against
them this year.
That includes a 5-0 mark
against 10-time major champion
Nadal, all in tournament finals,
and on three different surfaces.
It also includes a 3-1 mark
against Federer.
And, perhaps most impres-
sively, a perfect turnaround
after the only blemish on an
otherwise perfect season.
Only 19 hours after crouching
down on Centre Court to pluck
and eat a few blades of grass,
Djokovic said he hadnt had
time to digest everything hes
done.
Im still euphoric. Im still on
an adrenaline rush. Im still
under great joy of winning
Wimbledon and of having a
magnificent season so far. I
have Davis Cup coming up this
weekend, and then after that, I
have two weeks of rest. And
then, I guess, when I go down
to the beach, leave my racket in
the room and then just close
my eyes in the sun, Djokovic
said with a chuckle, Ill prob-
ably reflect on everything that
happened.

moment? Putting
lone loss in the past

Djokovic new No. 1;
Serena Williams
drops to 175th
WIMBLEDON, England
Wimbledon champion Novak
Djokovic rose to No. 1 in the
ATP rankings for the first time
Monday, while Serena Williams
dropped to 175th on the WTA
list, her lowest spot since 1997.
Djokovic officially moved up
from No. 2 one day after
beating previously top-ranked
Rafael Nadal 6-4, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3
for his first title at the All
England Club. Its the first time
in nearly 7
1
2 years that a man
other than Nadal or Roger
Federer is ranked No. 1.
Times are changing, the
24-year-old Djokovic said
Monday. Its good for the
sport, I think, to have some
new faces.
Federer first took the top
place on Feb. 2, 2004, and he
or Nadal had been No. 1 every
week since then. Federer spent
a total of 285 weeks there, one
week short of Pete Sampras
record. Nadals latest stay
began June 7, 2010, the day
after he won last years French
Open.
They have made me
improve, Djokovic said. They
have made me a better player.
Djokovic had been No. 2
since March. But he surged
past Nadal by going 48-1 with
eight titles so far in 2011,
including Grand Slam trophies
at the Australian Open and
Wimbledon.
When Djokovic arrived at
the All England Club on
Monday morning for a series
of interviews, the ATP
presented him with a cake
shaped like a 1 in the red,
blue and white colors of
Serbias flag. He is the first
man from that country to be
No. 1 since the ATP introduced
computer rankings in 1973.
Djokovic is the 25th player
to reach No. 1.
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) The ailing
oaks at Toomers Corner are a mot-
tled mix of yellow and brown these
days, but experts say theres still a
chance the trees will be in good
enough shape for Auburn football
fans to roll them with toilet paper
after wins this fall.
Its been about five months since
school officials confirmed that the fa-
mous trees had been poisoned, and
fan of archrival Alabama is now await-
ing trial in the attack. Emergency pro-
cedures that included removing poi-
soned dirt around the trees roots
have helped them survive this long.
Auburn University horticulturist
Gary Keever said no one is sure yet
whether the trees will live or die.
Fans have celebrated wins under the
trees since at least the early 1970s.
I dont want to give a sense of false
hope, but were not ready to say
theyre definitely not going to make
it, said Keever, part of a team of ex-
perts monitoring the health of the
trees and trying to save them.
C O L L E G E F O O T B A L L

BEIRUT(AP) ASyrian boxer who won a
medal at the 2004 Olympics was injured along
with at least 20 others Monday as President
Bashar Assads regime swept through several
cities and towns to crush a pro-democracy up-
rising, activists said.
Nasser al-Shami, a heavyweight who shared
the bronze medal in Athens, was in stable con-
dition after being hit by shotgun pellets in the
city of Hama, said Rami Abdul-Rahman, the
London-based director of the Syrian Observ-
atory for Human Rights. Abdul-Rahman said
hespoketothedoctor whotreatedtheathlete.
Syrian troops and tanks sealed off Hama
and blocked the roads leading in, an apparent
attempt tocrushgrowingdissent there andre-
take the city one month after security forces
withdrew. About 300,000protesters heldhuge
protests against the regime in Hama last
week, a sign the city was spiraling out of gov-
ernment control.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Carl Ed-
wards is no longer NASCARs
points leader, his 10-week streak
at the top snapped by an early ac-
cident at Daytona International
Speedway.
The 37th-place finish Saturday
night wasnt his fault, and Ed-
wards andhis RoushFenwayRac-
ing team earned a ton of respect
by gutting it out through several
rounds of repairs and a stretch in
whichit grewsohot inthecar, Ed-
wards was begging his crew to
douse his cockpit withwater.
We dont ever give up and
thats the thing. I told my guys to
keeptheir heads up, hesaidafter
the race. Well take this bad day
and keep our pride. In the big pic-
ture, it doesnt mean much, but
there is a lot of pride in leading
those points, so well try to get
that points leadback.
Then Edwards talked of strate-
gy, lessons learned and motiva-
tion. What he didnt discuss was
his future.
Edwards is the biggest free
agent in this years class, and hes
been determined to not let his
contract negotiations play out in
public. If he could, he said two
weeks ago, hedwait until the end
of theseasontofigureout his2012
plans becausedealingwithit now
doesnt appear to be high on his
list of priorities.
But waiting isnt possible, not
when Edwards represents the
largest pieceof thefreeagent puz-
zle.
Far too much depends on his
decision, particularly at RFR, the
team that gave the substitute
teacher fromMissouri a full-time
Trucks Series ride back in 2003.
Hewas23yearsold, tryingtoclaw
his way into a decent NASCAR
job, when Jack Roush gave Ed-
wards the life-changing chance.
He was in the Cup series 23
races into the next season as a re-
placement for Jeff Burton, a long-
time Roushmanwho left midsea-
sonforafreshstart elsewhere. Ed-
wards pumped some life into a
team stuck in a nearly three-year
winless streak with three top-10s
inhisfirst fourstarts, andhewasa
bonafide star by his 17th career
Cupstart, whenhelandedhisfirst
celebratorybackflipfollowinghis
breakthroughwinat Atlanta.
Here we are now, seven years
and 19 wins later, waiting for Ed-
wards second major contract ne-
gotiation. He took all the calls
from team owners the last time
around, but landed right back
withRoush, withanexpensiveex-
tension that made him one of
NASCARs highest paiddrivers.
Now Edwards is apparently
again listening to outside offers,
and that appar-
ently includes a
pretty lucrative
one from Joe
Gibbs Racing.
The team has
room to add a
fourth car, or
could use Ed-
wards toreplaceJoeyLoganoand
help longtime sponsor Home De-
pot feel likeit cancompetewithri-
val Lowes string of five consecu-
tive championships with Jimmie
Johnson.
Denny Hamlin, who nearly
knocked off Johnson last season,
thinks Edwards would be a very
nice fit at JGR. But unlike previ-
ous years, when Hamlin said he
was used in a failed recruiting ef-
fort of Dale Earnhardt Jr., hes not
been asked to reach out to Ed-
wards.
I hear what everybody is say-
ing, but nobodyhas saidanything
to me that Id consider to be a
strong indication, Hamlin said.
In the past, theyd asked me to
talk to Junior, or another driver
they wanted to sign, but theres
been nothing at all on Edwards.
Nobody has said a word to me or
askedme to do anything.
That doesnt mean that JGR
doesnt want Edwards, but team
president J.D. Gibbs learned ev-
erything fromhis dad, the former
Washington Redskins coach, and
both men tend to guard their
words as if the Dallas Cowboys
themselves might use everything
against them.

WOLFSBURG, Germany
Rest is nice, winning is better.
The United States plays Swe-
den in the group stage finale at
the Womens World Cup on
Wednesday, a game that would
seem to have little importance
with both teams already through
to the quarterfinals. But there is
plenty still at stake for the Amer-
icans, starting with the bragging
rights and everything that
comes with them for winning
the group.
We go for a win, U.S. coach
Pia Sundhage said Monday. Ab-
solutely.
The two-time World Cup
champions need only a tie
against Sweden to win Group C
and likely avoid a quarterfinal
matchup with Brazil. The Group
C winner plays the second-place
team in Group D, likely Australia
or Norway, while the Group C
runner-up gets the Group D win-
ner.
Brazil, runner-up in 2007 and
at the last two Olympics, needs
only a draw against World Cup
newcomer Equatorial Guinea to
win Group D.
I cansafely say that theres not
going to be one player or person
or staff member from the United
States thats going to say, We
want a tie, Abby Wambach said.
We want to win this game be-
cause we want to keep the mo-
mentumgoing forward. Obvious-
ly, you have to be smart. We want
to get some of those 90-minute
players some rest if we can do
that. But first and foremost, we
want to make sure and secure the
first place out of this group.
The United States is 18-4-7
against Sweden, including a 3-0
record in the World Cup. But
Sweden beat the U.S. 2-1 in Janu-
ary, one of three losses in a five-
month span after the Americans
had gone more than two years
without a loss.
Since arriving in Germany,
however, theU.S. has hadlittlere-
semblance tothe teamthat strug-
gled just to get there. Only Japan
(six) has scored more than the
five goals the Americans had in
their first two games. France also
has five goals.
Though Wambach and fellow
forward Amy Rodriguez have yet
to score, the U.S. is getting pro-
duction from an abundance of
players and places. Five different
players have scored, including
defender Rachel Buehler.
We knowthat were entertain-
ing people, goalkeeper Hope So-
lo said. Were not just winning
games. You can see that swagger
back in the U.S. teamwhether its
the way we celebrate goals,
whether its the way you can see
were enjoying the game again.
Its not just that hard-fought,
blood and guts glorified game.
Its the game we love.
Sweden, meanwhile, had
tougher than expected games
against bothColombia andNorth
Korea, and will be without cap-
tain Caroline Seger. The midfiel-
der is suspended after picking up
her second yellow card Saturday
against North Korea.
Sundhage will have to keep a
close eye on Wambach, who is
carrying a yellowcard and would
miss the quarterfinals if she gets
another. But Sundhage will be
watching her entire lineup close-
ly.
While winning the game is the
priority, Sundhage has been
preaching a 21 players mantra.
As in, it will take all 21 on the
squad to win the World Cup. She
put Lori Lindsey into the starting
lineup against Colombia and
gaveShannonBoxxabreak. Shes
alreadygottenWorldCuprookies
Alex Morgan and Tobin Heath
ontothe fieldas subs, andfounda
way to get high-energy Megan
Rapinoe significant playing time.
Knowing the Americans are al-
ready into the quarterfinals
would allow Sundhage to work a
fewmore players into the mix. Or
give a breather to those players
who get the bulk of the minutes
or are already nursing some ach-
es and pains. Wambach
(Achilles) and Heather OReilly
(groin) both sat out practice
Monday as a precaution.
We dont have to force any-
thing which is good, Sundhage
said. It wouldbe totally different
if this was a game that wouldtake
us tothe quarterfinals but its not.
We have a chance to play proba-
bly some different players.
As long as it doesnt get in the
way of the main objective, that is.
We want to get a good result
against Sweden, we want to play
well, Wambach said. Thats the
thing. We want to keep playing
well, performing to our potential
because were going to continue
to get better as the tournament
goes on and, hopefully, well
come into the championship
game playing our best.

DAYTON, Ohio Don Camp-
bell has attended 600 Dayton
Dragons games, cheering on the
Class A team from a front-row
seat next to the home dugout. He
knows what to expect.
Friendly ushers and ballpark
staff. Amusing fan contests dur-
ing the 90 seconds between in-
nings. A chance to see some of
the Cincinnati Reds up-and-com-
ing players learn their craft.
Then, after the last out, hell
encounter the teams executives
waiting at the gate.
When you leave the game,
theyre out there greeting people
and thanking you for coming,
said Campbell, a 62-year-old reti-
ree.
They keep coming back to
Fifth Third Field in record
numbers.
The Dragons will sell out their
815th consecutive home game on
Saturday, setting a record for a
professional teaminNorthAmer-
ica, according to the teams re-
search. With their 7,230 seats fil-
led and hundreds more fans re-
clining on a grassy hill beyond
the outfield wall, theyll pass the
PortlandTrail Blazers markfrom
1977-95.
I know it will be a source of
pride, team President Robert
Murphy said. Its no secret that
things in and around the Dayton
region have been difficult the last
couple of years. Its also a city of
perseverance. People love this
community. This is something
theyre proud of.
It wasnt always that way. The
southwest Ohio city had mixed
feelings about building a ballpark
in a run-down area downtown.
Only 57miles fromthe Reds ball-
park, there were questions about
how a team would fare.
Its turned into an unpreceden-
ted success, built on an old-fash-
ioned business model that works
very well for the Dragons: Being
passionate about people.
Since sharing a cab ride to
scout out the downtown site in
1998, Murphy andExecutive Vice
President Eric Deutsch have
banked on fan friendliness, em-
ployee loyalty and marketing cre-
ativity. The formula works
Dayton led not only all Class A
leagues in attendance last sea-
son, but all of Double-A as well.
They do it by making fans feel
theyre the stars.
The club puts a lot of money
and effort into keeping fans hap-
py what businesses refer to as
customer service. Season tickets
arrivedinteamcollectibles. Tick-
et holders get red-carpet treat-
ment. The ballpark staff makes
sure fans feel appreciated.

EXETER It took over a
week to decide, but a champion
was finally crowned in the John
A. AllanTournament at FoxHill
Country Club on Monday.
The teamof Don Crossin and
Bill Briggs completed their
round on Monday with a 7-un-
der 65 to winthe annual tourna-
ment over the team of John
Mulhern and Len Coleman,
who finished with a 68.
The two teams were back out
on the course Monday to com-
plete the last 13 holes of a spe-
cial playoff that was interrupted
by rain on Sunday.
The playoff was necessary af-
ter the two teams finished three
days of play tied over a week
ago.
On June 26, both teams fin-
ished at 14-under par in the bet-
ter-ball stroke play format. Af-
ter three playoff holes, neither
team converted on its potential
match-winning putts and the
match was called due to dark-
ness.
The teams returned to the
course Sunday, but had to quit
after five holes due to rain.

as the game went on.
Josh Tomlin (10-4), who car-
ried a no-hitter into the seventh
inning, allowed two runs and
three hits and improved to 7-1 at
home this season. The Indians
right-hander also became the
first pitcher since 1919 to go at
least five innings in each of his
first 29 career appearances.
He was able to holddownthat
amazing lineup, Indians manag-
er Manny Acta said. He doesnt
back down from anybody.
Carlos Santana hit a two-run
homer in the eighth for Cleve-
land, finally back home after a
nine-game interleague trip.
Chris Perez pitched a 1-2-3
ninth for his 20th save in 21 tries
as the Indians improved to 25-14
at Progressive Field, which was
sold out for the third time in
2011.
Curtis Granderson hit his 23rd
homer for the Yankees, who have
lost two straight after a seven-
game winning streak.
Following the game, manager
Joe Girardi revealed that closer
Mariano Rivera was not available
because of a sore triceps muscle.
Both Girardi and Rivera down-
played the discomfort.
Im not concerned at all, the
41-year-old Rivera said. It was
sore today. I got a lot of treat-
ment. Hopefully, Ill be able to
pitch tomorrow.
Trying to become the first
pitcher in 53 years to no-hit the
Yankees by himself, Tomlin re-
tired18 straight entering the sev-
enth and was poised to deliver a
Fourth of July spectacular to a
rare sellout crowd that included
roughly 15,000 very vocal Yan-
kees fans.
However, Mark Teixeira broke
up Tomlins no-hit bid with a
leadoff single to center. Tomlin
buckled down and struck out
Alex Rodriguez before Robinson
Cano reached on a lucky infield
single that caromed off the plate
and stayed fair as it dribbled
down the third-base line. Cano
laughed as he crossed first base.
Nick Swisher followed by
jumping on the first pitch and
splitting the outfielders with a
double that rolled to the wall,
scoring Teixeira and Cano to
make it 2-0.
Burnett couldnt hold the lead.

Rivera has sore
triceps muscle
CLEVELAND New York
Yankees closer Mariano Rivera
was not available for Monday
nights 6-3 loss to the
Cleveland Indians because of a
sore right triceps muscle.
Yankees manager Joe
Girardi revealed Riveras
condition following the game.
He said Rivera told him before
the game that he was sore
after blowing a save on Sunday
against the Mets.
Girardi said there are no
current plans for Rivera to
undergo medical tests.
Rivera said hes not
concerned at all and hopes to
be able to pitch Tuesday.
Girardi said he would have used
right-hander David Robertson
had there been a save situation
in the series opener against
the Indians.
The 41-year-old Rivera is 1-1
with 21 saves in 25 chances and
a 1.91 ERA in 35 appearances.
field gap and was then sacri-
ficed to third by Greg Golson.
Bernier then scored on an RBI
double to left off the bat of Mike
Lamb.
We had a lot of fans tonight,
andit was goodtobehomeafter
that long road trip, Golson
said. Were chasing those guys
(Lehigh Valley) so we wanted
to put our best foot forward.
Jordan Parraz then reached
on an infield single as the ball
deflectedoff thegloveof Lehigh
Valleystartingpitcher TimRed-
ding.
Terry Tiffee then drove in
Lamb from third, giving the
Yankees a 2-1 lead.
Next, Jorge Vazquez roped a
line drive single to left field.
Brandon Moss came charging
in trying to make the catch, but
the ball bounce past him and
went all the way to the left-field
wall, allowing both Parraz and
Tiffee to score and putting the
Yankees up 4-1.
Vazquez has been a big part
of our season period, Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre manager
Dave Miley said. I told him
multiple times it was nice to
have himbackandhe feels good
so he will be back in there to-
morrow.
The Yankees extended their
lead to 5-2 in the bottom half of
the fourth inning. Luis Nunez,
Bernier and Golson hit consec-
utive singles.
Nunez scored on Golsons
single.
The IronPigs got one back in
the top half of the fifth inning.
Tagg Bozied lined a leadoff tri-
ple just under the glove of a div-
ing Jordan Parraz in right field.
Cody Overbeck then hit a sacri-
fice fly to the warning track in
center field.
The IronPigs cut the Yankee
lead to just 5-3 in the top half of
the ninth. Rich Thompson led
off the inning with a bunt single
down the third base line. He
then scored on a double off the
bat off the bat of Josh Barfield.
Barfield then advanced to
third on a sacrifice fly to center
off the bat of Mayberry Jr. How-
ever, Yankee reliever Logan
Kensing struck out Brandon
Moss and then got Tagg Bozied
to ground out to short to end
the game.
Hall was terrific for Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre in his Tri-
ple-A debut. The southpaw
went 61/3innings allowingjust
two runs on five hits, while
striking out three IronPigs and
walking none.
I talked to Montero and he
told me he hits his spots good
and can throw every pitch for a
strike, Gustavo Molina said.
He hit the corners and got the
ball down for the most part. He
pitched very well tonight.
Former Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre pitcher Tim Redding suf-
fered the loss for the IronPigs.
He went five innings, allowing
four earned runs on 10 hits. He
struckout three andwalkedjust
one.
The Yankees improved to 45-
38 and are now just 3 games
behindthe IronPigs inthe Inter-
national League North stand-
ings.
Its awesome just knowing
we can go into the second half
and have a lead on these guys
and possibly even win the divi-
sion, Golson said.
The Yankees andtheIronPigs
will play the final game of the
short twogameseries at 7:05to-
night at PNC Field.
Yankee Notes
The New York Yankees have
optioned outfielder Chris Dick-
erson to Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre. In 31 games for New
York, Dickerson hit for an aver-
age of .300 with 3 RBI in 21 at
bats.

N U T R I T I O N Q U I Z : Fair Food
Q: Ive noticed that
ears seem to get big-
ger with age. Is that
true, and if so, why
might that be so?
G.F., Huntsville,
Ala.
A: Its not your
imagination. Ears do get bigger with
age. Not only does the cartilage in the
ear continue to grow lengthwise (but
not with increasing width) throughout
our lifetime, but the earlobe elongates
and sags due to years of gravity. A
British study published in the Dec. 23,
1995, issue of the British Medical
Journal studied 206 patients over time
and found that our ears elongate by
0.22 mm per year. Another study de-
termined that the average ear length is
2.04 inches at birth, and 3.07 inches in
length in men at age 70 and 2.83 inch-
es in length in women at age 70. No-
body really knows the exact reason
why ear cartilage continues to grow
throughout our lifetime.
Another odd fact is that your nose
also gets longer with advancing age
due to the effects of gravity.
Q: Two days ago when I went to a
clinic for severe foot pain, my blood
pressure was 176/104. My doctor as-
sures me that blood pressure spiking
under stress or pain is normal and
doesnt need to be treated. What is the
up-to-date thinking on this subject?
K.M., Downingtown, Pa.
A: If your blood pressure is elevated
for sustained periods on a daily basis,
it should be treated. A sudden rise in
blood pressure because of acute pain,
anxiety or strenuous physical exertion
isnt hypertension, as long as it rapidly
returns to normal. In the doctors
office, we see these rises in blood
pressure in folks who are nervous or
rushed. Its called white coat syn-
drome, in reference to the doctors
white coat. I find that giving patients a
friendly magazine to read for a few
minutes can distract and relax them
enough to bring the pressure down to
its baseline. Keep in mind that folks
with white coat syndrome may still
have underlying high blood pressure.
What should your blood pressure
be? According to the American Heart
Association, the upper systolic num-
ber should ideally be less than 120
(120-139 is borderline high; 140 or
higher is high); the lower diastolic
number should be less than 80 (80-89
is borderline high; 90 or higher is
high).
Id recommend that you monitor
your blood pressure outside the doc-
tors office: At home and at work,
when youre stressed and when youre
relaxed. Keep a diary of the time, your
state of mind and your activity. Thatll
help you and your doctor determine if
youve got hypertension.

ost people would admit there is nothing like biting into a
warm cut of pizza and a cold mug of beer on a Friday night.
And if you have lived in the area long enough, youd be hard pressed
to avoid a pizzeria in your travels. However, as increasing numbers
of diagnoses grow, those suffering from celiac disease find them-
selves unable to enjoy this simple fare.
Celiac disease is a genetic disorder
which affects children and adults. When
an individual with CD digests gluten it
causes the villi, tiny hairs that line the
small intestine, to become damaged. Re-
actions can vary. Some sufferers can ex-
perience digestive discomfort, fatigue
Area businesses offer alternatives for celiac sufferers

Summer flights are on their way, along
with the germs that ride along. Followthese
tips to put the odds overwhelmingly inyour
favor of not catching a cold or the flu, says
Dr. Mark Gendreau, an air-travel expert and
vice chair of emergency medicine at the La-
hey Clinic in Burlington, Mass.:
Drinklots of water. Nasal membranes
an important barrier against germs dont
work as well if they dry out. Keep in mind
that the air onplanes is very lowinhumidity.
Use saline nasal spray. Sprays can in-
crease howrapidly the tiny hairs that line na-
sal passages beat back and forth to expel
germs. They also help keep membranes in
the eyes, nose and mouth moist.
Carry hand sanitizer. Buy products that
contain at least 60 percent alcohol and clean
your hands frequently, especially before
touching your face. Since germs can linger in
public restrooms, its a good idea to use san-
itizer evenafter washingwithsoapandwater.
Wipe down trays and seat handles. Both
can be contaminated with dangerous germs
such as drug-resistant bacteria. Clean with
alcohol-based hand sanitizer or an antibacte-
rial wipe.
Increase the ventilation at your seat. Sa-
liva droplets from sneezing, coughing and
even conversation can fly up to six feet in the
air and rain down on nearby passengers.
Turn the vent above your seat to medium
flowandpositionit sothe current moves just
slightly in front of your face.
Consult your doctor. People who are
pregnant, battling a serious respiratory in-
fection, undergoing chemotherapy or taking
an immunosuppressant are at higher risk for
complications from an infection and may
need to take extra precautions.
