Buddington, 33, kept the short clip of
Derrick Cottle as one of the mementos

of the man shes known and loved since
they met 17 years ago outside a Sears
store. She did so much with him and
now faces the reality of life without him
after he was shot and killed the night of
April 25 on Reno Lane in Wilkes-Barre.
Her account of the deadly shoot-
ing differed from the one Shauntae
Thomas the city man charged in the
homicide provided police. There
were no threats by Cottle, 40, to retali-
ate against Thomas for an argument
between their sons at a basketball court
on Coal Street, especially with a claim
that people would be killed, she said.
She was angered by the support on
a Facebook page for Thomas, 36, who
is held without bail in the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility awaiting
a preliminary hearing and vowed to
protect her husbands name, reputation
and their family.
I wont have anybody slander his
name, because thats not who he was,
Buddington said. I need to stand up
for him because he would stand up for
me.
As far as violence goes, thats not
him, Buddington said. He went to
work. He ran his business. He took care

Conquering worlds hardest race
Dallas native Liz Byron recounts Marathon des Sables
To most, the Sahara Desert is a distant place
shown occasionally in movies. But to Dallas na-
tive Liz Byron, it was a place where the 29-year-
old teacher tested her limits and exceeded
them.
Its been nearly a month since Liz Byron ran
155 miles through the Moroccan Sahara Desert,
but she can vividly recall every hour she spent
there. She described the most challenging mo-
ments as being most rewarding.
What was magnicent about those moments
was pushing the human spirit just a little bit far-
ther, Byron said.
To kick off a fundraiser for the Gardner Pi-
lot Academy in Boston, Byron, a teacher at the
school, ran the Marathon des Sables. From the
French, it means marathon of the sands. Some
say it is the most challenging race in the world.

Test scores foretold
Marywood problems
Many students choosing a college often look
at the cost, the location and the amount of stu-
dent aid available.
But another question they should be asking,
when it comes to certain specialized majors, is
whether the program is accredited. And per-
haps even more important, especially in the
case of nursing programs, is if the school is on
the approved list of programs by the state board
that oversees that profession.
For students in certain majors, accredita-
tion matters. Without it, graduates may not be
nursing programs test results slipped until
it found itself facing a loss of accreditation.

SCRANTON The actors
who play Pam, Jim, Dwight
and other beloved characters
from the popular NBC show
The Ofce bade farewell on
Saturday to the city that served
as the TV setting for their c-
tional paper company.
The NBC mockumentary
about a clan of quirky cubicle-
dwellers at the ctional Dunder
Mifin Paper Co. wraps up
May 16 after nine seasons, and
a crowd estimated at 10,000 at-
tended a Wrap Party in Scran-
ton to show their appreciation.
Jenna Fischer, John Krasins-
ki, Rainn Wilson and other stars
rode in classic convertibles and
posed for hundreds of photos
as fans thronged around them.
The stars later took the stage
in front of the Lackawanna
County Courthouse and played
a concert with The Scrantones,
the band that performed the
shows theme song.
Steve Carell, who played of-
ce boss buffoon Michael Scott,
wasnt expected to make an ap-
pearance but surprised fans at
a celebration later outside the
city at PNC Field, home of the
New York Yankees Triple A af-
liate, The (Scranton) Times-
Tribune reported.
As she rode down Linden
Street, Fischer teared up,
overwhelmed by the adoring
crowds. Krasinski said after-
ward that he couldnt process
it.
To have this many people
coming out of their way, driv-
ing fromdifferent places, to just
see us and just say thank you is
totally bizarre. You have a lot of
amazing experiences when you
have this gig, but theres noth-
ing like people genuinely say-
ing thank you, he said. I dont
think we ever realized how
many people we had touched.
Briquelle Hoppes, 22, of
Louisville, Ky., drove 11 hours
with her anc and two friends
skipping town on Kentucky
Derby day to attend the
Wrap Party, keeping themselves
awake overnight by playing
old Ofce episodes through
the car speakers and shouting
Aint no party like a Scranton
party cause a Scranton party
dont stop, a classic line from
the show.
It appeals to a particular
sense of humor and thats us
100 percent, she said.
While the comedy was shot
in California, it made liberal
use of props from Scranton and
referenced plenty of real-life
landmarks, from Coopers Sea-
food House and Poor Richards
pub to Lake Wallenpaupack
and the Lackawanna County
Coal Mine Tour.
Scranton hosted a similar
blowout, the Ofce Conven-
tion, in 2007.
On stage Saturday, Wilson
paid fans the ultimate back-
handed compliment bet-
ting his character, Dwight
Schrute, a paper salesman ut-
terly lacking in social graces.
The Ofce fans are the
greatest fans in the world! he
said. Next to Seahawks fans.
WILKES-BARRE The ad-
ministration of Kings College
feted their donors, benefactors
and students on Saturday night at
the 41
st
annual Presidents Dinner.
More than 200 attended the
black-tie affair held at the campus.
College President the Rev. John
Ryan thanked the group of sup-
porters for their loyalty and de-
votion. The annual dinner is an
opportunity to express apprecia-
tion to them for with their time,
treasures and talents, he said.
Five students were chosen to
be the honorees at the dinner.
They were selected by members
of the faculty and administration,
according to Freddie Pettit, vice
president for institutional ad-
vancement. The ve were chosen
based on their academic perfor-
mance, involvement in extra-cur-
ricular activities and sports, and
their commitment to community
service, Pettit said.
The group personies a high-
quality return on investment that
the schools donors and board of
directors can see, he said.
The students selected were
Katheryn Avila, a computer sci-
ence major and Hispanic outreach
scholar; Ryan Cordingly, nance
major, football team captain and
Moreau scholar; Molly Dahl, busi-
ness administration major and
Moreau scholar; Christina Mar-
vin, biology and chemistry major,
and Moreau scholar and Anthony
Scaccia, math major and presiden-
tial scholar.
Cordingly said he was shocked
when he learned he was chosen.
Nearing graduation, he said the
education he received at Kings
provided ways to develop net-
working skills and will open fu-
ture employment opportunities.
He will begin a career with
the Target corporation right after
graduation.
An accolade such as this one is a
true honor and a valuable experi-
ence, Cordingly said.
Pettit added this years spring
time dinner was scheduled in con-
junction with the board of direc-
tors meeting earlier on Saturday.
The board approved a healthy and
balanced budget, Pettit said,
which will help the school contin-
ue its advancements for the next
ve years.
Working with nancial stability
and new academic programs, Pet-
tit said there are a lot of exciting
plans ahead including new aca-
demic programs geared to meet
the demands of employers locally
and internationally.
There is a lot to be excited
about at Kings right now, he
said.
He pointed to the ve student
honorees as a showcase of the
talent the school has helped de-
velop. They came from diverse
backgrounds and from local com-
munities as well as from outside
northeast Pennsylvania, Ryan
added.
Pettit stressed the schools mis-
sion centers around developing
engaged minds, inspired hearts
and purposeful lives.

of family and well-wishers
came out to Penn State Wil-

accomplish great things with
their Penn State education.

in Administration of Justice.
This is the culmination of ve

all our praise, she said.

in traditional and speciality ar-
eas of study including English,
business, journalism, survey-
ing and electrical engineering,
criminal justice and informa-
tion sciences.
Today you became part of a

vis. Now translate that learn-
ing into work and service.

Wyoming County gets grant
State Reps. Karen Boback, R-
Harveys Lake, and Sandra Major, R-
Bridgewater, have announced that Wy-
oming County was awarded a $20,433
state grant through the Department of
Environmental Protections Recycling
Performance Grant Program.
Boback said recycling helps keep
communties cleaner and the funding
helps offset the cost of county recy-
cling efforts, providing some relief to
the taxpayers in Wyoming County.
Major said the more residents and
business that participate, the more
funding that ultimately comes back to
the county.
Recycling Performance Grants are
available to all Pennsylvania munici-
palities with established recycling pro-
grams. These grant awards were based
on the total tons recycled and each
municipalitys recycling rate for the
calendar year 2010.
This year, the state awarded $17.8
million in recycling grants to 131 mu-
nicipalities and counties for develop-
ing and implementing recycling pro-
grams. These grants are supplemental
to the funds that DEP allocates to mu-
nicipalities to establish and maintain
recycling programs.

a wardens job in 2002, Luzerne
County Manager Robert Lawton
said.
His choice for the $75,000 a
year position, J. Allen Nesbitt
of Easton, is on the agenda for
approval by county council at its
meeting Monday night.
But council might not conrm
him.
Councilman Rick Morelli sent
an email to his colleagues ask-
ing themto delay Mondays vote
so they could review the appli-
cants.
Nesbitt resigned as warden in
Bucks County at the request of
the county commissioners fol-
lowing a series of investigations
and arrests of prison employees,
according to the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
A grand jury investigating
the fatal drug overdose of an
inmate in January 2001 found
widespread contraband traf-
cking, according to the news-
paper.
The following May, three
male corrections ofcers and an
inmate counselor were charged
with having sex with female
prisoners, the newspaper re-
ported.
Two subsequent reports
from a state audit and a court-
ordered task force were critical
of the treatment of female in-
mates and operations in other
areas of the prison and called
for changes, according to the
newspaper.
Nesbitt did not return a mes-
sage left Saturday.
But Lawton said he met with
Nesbitt and his role as warden in
Bucks County came up in our
discussion.
Prior to that it was discussed
with the screening committee of
two senior county-level correc-
tional ofcials from outside the
area, Lawton said.
Nesbitt also enjoys strong
support support from Hazleton
Police Chief Frank DeAndrea
for his time as vice president of
correctional services for MinSec
Companies LLC, which operat-
ed a half-way house in the down-
town, Lawton said.
Council is next in line to ques-
tion Nesbitt, who welcomes the
opportunity to visit with them
and discuss his entire record,
Lawton said.
This is what the conrma-
tion process is for, Lawton said.
Area people get some body art for a worthy cause
WILKES-BARRE TWP.
Local residents hoping to get
a great deal on a tattoo and
at the same time support a
worthy charity came out to
the Tattoo for Life fundraiser
at the Wyoming Valley Mall
on Saturday.
The rst annual event was
sponsored by Town Hall Tat-
too and featured 13 specially
designed tattoos at a cost of
only $40, with 50 percent of
the proceeds benetting the
Make-a-Wish Foundation.
We hope to do over a
hundred tattoos and send a
check for $2,000 to Make-
a-Wish, said owner Chris
Longo. Were really excited
about the response today.
The fundraiser is the
brainchild of professional
body piercing artist Leeann
Campas, who organized the
event as a labor of love.
The event will also be held
on Sunday, May 12 at Ana-
tomic Body Arts in Blooms-
burg.

WASHINGTON The Obama ad-
ministration is trying to leverage new
evidence that Syrian President Bashar
Assads government used chemical
weapons, and make a fresh diplomatic
and possible military push with allies to
end the countrys civil war.
This renewed effort starts with Sec-
retary of State John Kerrys trip to
Moscow this coming week for talks
with leaders in Russia, the Syrian gov-
ernments most powerful international
friend.
Russia, alongside China, has blocked
U.S.-led efforts three times at the Unit-
ed Nations to pressure Assad into step-
ping down. The U.S. hopes to change
Moscows thinking with two new argu-
ments, ofcials said: the evidence of
chemical weapons attacks and, with
the war now in its third year, American
threats to arm the Syrian rebels.
The stalemate and the risk of greater
chemical weapons usage are driving
President Barack Obama to explore
new options, including military ones.
But, he made clear Friday during a visit
to Costa Rica, I do not foresee a sce-
nario in which boots on the ground in
Syria, American boots on the ground,
would not only be good for America but
also would be good for Syria.
On Friday, an Israeli airstrike against
Syria targeted a shipment of advanced
missiles believed bound for the Leba-
nese military group Hezbollah, Israeli
ofcials said Saturday. The ofcials
said the attack was aimed at sophisti-
cated game-changing weapons, but
not chemical arms.
Somewhat similar to the Libya in-
tervention two years ago, Washington
is being pulled by several of its closest
partners into an ambivalent escalation
in Syria.
TEHRAN, IRAN
Race on to replace president
F
or eight years, Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejads provoca-
tive style raised hackles abroad and
grated inside Iran as well angering
the countrys supreme leader to the
point of warning the presidency could
be abolished.
Now, a race is beginning to choose
his successor and it looks like an
anti-Ahmadinejad referendum is shap-
ing up. Candidate registration starts
Tuesday for the June 14 vote.
Leading candidates assert that
they will be responsible stewards,
unlike the rebrand Ahmadinejad,
who cannot run again because he is
limited to two terms. One criticized
Ahmadinejad for controversial but
useless statements. Others even say
the country should have a less hostile
relationship with the United States.
Comments from the presumed front-
runners lean toward less bombast and
more diplomacy.
SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA
Obama backs gay recognition
President Barack Obama says he
supports recognizing gay unions in a
broad immigration bill pending in Con-
gress but wont say whether he would
sign legislation that fails to do so.
Obama says that recognizing
same-sex relationships in the bill is
the right thing to do. But he says it
would be premature to telegraph what
he will or wont do before lawmakers
send him a bill.
Gay rights supporters are pushing
for an amendment to the bill to allow
gays to sponsor their partners to come
to the U.S.
But Republicans have made it clear
that amending the legislation in that
fashion would cost their support.
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA
Girls allowed in sports
Saudi Arabian girls will be allowed
to play sports in private schools for
the rst time, according to a decision
announced on Saturday, the latest in
a series of incremental changes aimed
at slowly increasing womens rights in
the ultraconservative kingdom.
Saudi Arabias ofcial press agency,
SPA, reported that private girls
schools are now allowed to hold sports
activities in accordance with the rules
of Shariah, or Islamic law.
The decision makes sports once
again a stage for the push to improve
womens rights, nearly a year after two
Saudi female athletes made an unprec-
edented appearance at the Olympics.
LOS ANGELES
Lohan checks into rehab
Lindsay Lohan has checked into a
rehab and will not face a probation
violation for leaving another treatment
facility after a few minutes, a prosecu-
tor said Friday.
Santa Monica Chief Deputy City At-
torney Terry White said he has received
conrmation that Lohan has checked
in to a rehab facility and he is satised
with her location. He declined to say
where Lohan is receiving treatment,
but a source close to the actress who
was not authorized to speak publicly
said she has checked in to the Betty
Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif.
The Liz & Dick star is required
to spend 90 days in rehab as part of a
plea deal in a misdemeanor case led
after a June car accident.

7 U.S.
troops
are killed
in attack
KABUL, Afghanistan Sev-
en U.S. service members were
killed on Saturday in one of the
deadliest days for Americans in
Afghanistan in recent months
and the latest of attacks against
international troops since the
Taliban announced the start of
their spring offensive.
The renewed violence came as
Afghan President Hamid Karzai
acknowledged at a news confer-
ence that regular payments his
government has received from
CIA for more than a decade
would continue. Karzai also
said that talks on a U.S.-Afghan
bilateral security agreement to
govern future American mili-
tary presence in the country had
been delayed because of condi-
tions the Afghans were placing
on the deal.
The U.S.-led coalition report-
ed that ve international troops
were killed by a roadside bomb
in southern Afghanistan, and
coalition spokesman Capt. Luca
Carniel conrmed that all ve
were American.
The coalition did not disclose
the location of the roadside
bombing, however, Javeed Fais-
al, a spokesman for the governor
of Kandahar province, said the
coalition patrol hit the bomb in
Maiwand district of the prov-
ince, the spiritual birthplace of
the Taliban.
Later, the coalition reported
that a soldier with the Afghan
National Army turned his weap-
on on coalition troops in the
west, killing two in the most re-
cent of so-called insider attacks.
Such attacks by members of the
Afghan security forces against
their fellow colleagues or in-
ternational troops have eroded
condence in the Afghan forces
as they work to take over from
foreign forces.
Both killed were American, ac-
cording to two U.S. ofcials.
It was the third time since last
summer that seven Americans
have been killed on a single day
in the war.
On April 6, Afghan militants
killed six Americans, including
a young female diplomat, and
an Afghan doctor in a pair of at-
tacks in southern Afghanistan.
The three U.S. service members,
two U.S. civilians and the doc-
tor were killed when the group
was struck by an explosion while
traveling to donate books to a
school. A seventh American, a
civilian, was killed in a separate
insurgent attack in the east.
On Aug. 16, 2012, seven
American service members were
killed in two attacks in Kandahar
province. Six were killed when
their helicopter was shot down
by insurgents and one soldier
died in a roadside bomb explo-
sion.
It was third time since last
summer seven have been
killed in a day in Afghanistan.

We will never surrender our guns, never
HOUSTON The public face of the
National Rie Association implored
members Saturday to never give up
their weapons in the wake of recent gun
control efforts in Congress that he said
will destroy us and every ounce of our
freedom.
We will never surrender our guns,
never, Executive Vice President Wayne
LaPierre told several thousand people
during the organizations annual mem-
ber meeting, which is part of the yearly
NRA convention being held this week-
end in Houston.
A deant LaPierre said the political
and media elites have tried to use De-
cembers mass shooting at a Newtown,
Conn., elementary school and other
recent ones to blame us, to shame us,
to compromise our freedom for their
agenda.
LaPierre directed much of his criti-
cism at President Barack Obama and
his efforts to pass legislation in Con-
gress that would have expanded back-
ground checks for gun sales. That bill
failed to pass in the Senate last month.
LaPierre said the bill got the defeat
that it deserved.
The bill wouldnt have prevented
Newtown or Aurora, he said, also ref-
erencing last years shooting at a Colo-
rado theater. It wont prevent the next
tragedy. None of it has anything to do
with keeping our children safer in any
school anywhere.
Gun control supporters have prom-
ised to keep pressing the issue and
have made signicant strides at the
state level, including passing new re-
strictions on rearms in Colorado and
Connecticut.
LaPierre implored lawmakers to di-
rect their efforts not at new gun con-
trol legislation but to enforcing current
federal gun laws and sending to prison
violent criminals who break these laws
and rebuilding our broken mental
health system.
And for God sakes leave the rest of
us alone in this country, he said to
loud applause.
More than 70,000 NRA members are
expected to attend the three-day con-
vention, which began Friday. Acres of
displays of ries, pistols, swords and
hunting gear could be found inside the
convention hall.
Fridays highlight was a 3 -hour po-
litical rally lled with ery speeches.

FDAs rule on morning-after pill draws strong reactions
MIAMI By this summer,
a 15-year-old girl will be able
to walk into a drugstore, scan
the shelves and purchase the
morning-after pill without a
prescription, a controversial
national decision at the in-
tersection of womens repro-
ductive rights, parenting, sci-
ences and the role and reach
of government.
On Tuesday the Food and
Drug Administration ordered
retailers to offer the emergen-
cy contraceptive Plan B One-
Step as an over-the-counter
option the latest ruling in a
long battle, both legal and so-
cial, about the rights of wom-
en to have access to the drug.
Before now, the pill, which is
used after sexual intercourse
to help prevent pregnancy,
was available to women ages
17 and older without a pre-
scription, but the medication
was kept behind drugstore
counters.
The FDAs decision came
weeks after a federal judge
ordered that over-the-counter
emergency contraception be
made available to females of
any age a ruling the Obama
administration is appealing.
Even with many practical
questions still unanswered
and the specter of more court
rulings looming, reaction has
been passionate on both sides
of the issue.
This is a policy issue that
basically represents peoples
core beliefs, says Nicole Rug-
giano, an assistant professor
of social work at Florida In-
ternational Universitys Rob-
ert Stempel College of Public
Health and Social Work. This
is about peoples beliefs about
premarital sex, parenting, re-
ligion, right to life and those
kinds of issues.
President Barack Obama,
visiting Mexico, said Thurs-
day he was comfortable
with the FDAs decision.
For some, this is a victory
long in the making, empow-
ering young sexually active
women. Opponents, including
those with strong religious
beliefs, contend the decision
is wrong, that 15-year-olds are
too young.
Hailed as victory for women
by some, opponents say 15 is
too young for sound decision.

the citys re safety house.
Drew McLaughlin, the citys
municipal affairs manager, said
he believes theevents success
comes from time spent laying
solid groundwork.
It always takes a long time
to lay infrastructure, McLaugh-
lin said. You only get one shot
to make a rst impression, his
voice trailed off, but as he looked
around at the scores of people in
the park, it was clear the event
was a success.
Building Bridges was founded
in the wake of 14-year-old Tyler
Winsteads death last year af-
ter he was shot accidentally by
a friend holding a gun. Media
originally reported he was mur-
dered and community leaders
pulled together the organization
to affront violence.
Samantha Conahan, a G.A.R.
High School sophomore was vol-
unteering at the event, watching
over children play in an inated
bounce house.
She remembers Winstead,
who went to the same school.
We would see each other in
the hallways, Conahan said. It
was really terrifying when we
found out what happened.
Conahan agreed that events
like Saturdays help build the
citys sense of community.
Welcoming the crowds, Rev.
Michael Brewster of Mt. Zion
Baptist Church said Building
Bridges has strengthened since
its beginning.
Something is rising, Brews-
ter said. Rising from the cries
of those who will not sit idly by.
Another founder said the
event is a precursor to bigger
projects.
Beyond this, there is more
serious stuff that we gotta get
into, said Rev. Shawn Walker
of First Baptist Church, Wilkes-
Barre, about programs that
Building Bridges administrators
hope to use to steer children to-
ward productive lives and away
from crime.
ODonnell described a com-
munity center that is highly vis-
ible to children. She said maybe
the center would not offer ser-
vices in house, but it would be
networked with other organiza-
tions where children can get
help or nd edifying things to
keep busy.

BOSTON In July 2006, Rob-
in Aleo climbed to the top of a
6-foot inatable pool slide andslid
down head rst. As she neared
the bottom, the slide partially
collapsed and Aleo slammed her
head on the concrete pool deck,
causing fatal injuries.
Five years later, a jury awarded
Aleos family more than $20 mil-
lion, nding that the slide sold by
Toys R Us did not comply with
federal safety standards for swim-
ming pool slides.
Toys R Us will go before the
highest court in Massachusetts
on Monday to ask that the award
be overturned.
The national chain argues that
the 1976 Consumer Product Safe-
ty Commission regulation cited
by Aleos family does not apply to
inatable in-ground pool slides,
but only to rigid pool slides. Toys
R Us also says the trial judge al-
lowed lawyers for Aleos family to
iname the jury by accusing Toys
R Us of importing an illegal
product when it had relied on a
certication that the slide met all
safety regulations.
Aleo, 29, of Louisville, Colo.,
was visiting relatives in Andover
when she went down a Banzai
pool slide. Her husband, Michael,
and 15-month-old daughter were
watching as her head hit the pool
deck. She suffered a broken neck
and died the next day at a Boston
hospital.
A jury in Salem Superior Court
awarded Aleos estate $20.6 mil-
lion in 2011, including $2.5 mil-
lion in anticipated lost income
from Aleos career in advertising
and marketing, $100,000 for pain
and suffering before her death
and $18 million in punitive dam-
ages. Toys R Us argues that the
$18 million in punitive damages
was grossly excessive.
Lawyers for Aleos husband
say pool slides have been subject
to a federal safety standard since
1976. The standard applies to all
pool slides, no matter what they
are made of, said Benjamin Zim-
mermann, a Boston attorney who
represents Michael Aleo.
Toys R Us, however, says the
standard was only meant to apply
to rigid slides, not the exible, in-
atable slides that have become
popular in recent years.
Inatable slides did not exist
(when the regulation was put in
place), Toys R Us lawyers argue
in a legal brief led in its appeal.
The company said the regula-
tion established performance
standards that were designed for
rigid slides and that could not be
met by an air-lled slide made of
fabric like the Inatable Slide.
But Aleos family says the regu-
lation applies to all swimming
pool slides regardless of the ma-
terials of manufacture or struc-
tural characteristics.
The slide had an instruction
manual and small warning label
near the climbing footholds that
said the weight limit was 200
pounds, but the safety standard
required that slides should be
able to support up to 350 pounds.
Aleo weighed 148 pounds, ac-
cording to testimony at the trial.
A spokeswoman for Toys R
Us said the Wayne, N.J.-based
company has a policy of not com-
menting on pending litigation.
In its appeal brief, Toys R Us
said the trial judge refused to
allow testimony that Aleo had
misused the slide and that some
witnesses said she had jumped
or dived off the slide head rst.
Zimmermann, however, said
that witnesses who testied dur-
ing the trial said Aleo had slid
down the slide.
Michael Aleos aunt and uncle
purchased the slide from Toys R
Us through Amazon.com. Toys R
Us had imported the slides from
China, where they were manufac-
tured.
It was never tested. It carried
no required certication that it
had been so tested, Zimmer-
mann said.
Under the federal Consumer
Product Safety Commission stan-
dards and the Consumer Product
Safety Act, products that come
into the country without a certi-
cation that its been tested to its
applicable standards, the sale of
that kind of product is unlawful,
he said.
The commission announced
in May 2012 that Toys R Us and
Wal-Mart stores were recalling
the slides, citing Aleos death and
injuries suffered by two other
people, including a 24-year-old
man from Springeld, Mo., who
became a quadriplegic and a
woman from Allentown, Pa., who
fractured her neck.
The Aleo case has drawn the at-
tention of the Toy Industry Asso-
ciation Inc., a trade group whose
nearly 600 members account for
about 85 percent of the annual
U.S. domestic toy market. The
group led a friend-of-the-court
brief supporting Toys R Us in its
position that the consumer safety
regulation does not apply to in-
atable pool slides.
The group says the safety com-
mission never considered apply-
ing the rule to constant air inat-
able slides because they didnt
exist when the rule was written
in the 1970s.
Toys R Us appeals
$20 million award
Jury found that pool slide sold
by Toys R us did not comply
with federal safety standards.

overseer for county scal and
management activities.
Urban served as the Trea-
surer for the Pennsylvania

WILKES-BARRE Paul
DeFabo, 72, a Wilkes-Barre na-
tive and former business owner
turned realtor, is throwing his
hat in the ring for a seat on Lu-
zerne County Council.
DeFabo, a Republican, said
what divides the 11-seat council
on some issues has little to do
with party lines.
Running for council is not
Republican vs. Democrat I
dont think thats a problem,
DeFabo said.
In a press release, DeFabo
said conicts must be resolved
by putting personal interests
aside for the countys best inter-
ests.
DeFabo served as vice chair-
man of the county GOP and as
a delegate to
eight Repub-
lican conven-
tions.
From 1976,
DeFabo owned
Mr. Donut and
Curry Donuts
coffee shops
around Wilkes-Barre and also
a Popeyes Chicken. He took
up realty in 2001 and currently
works for Classic Properties.
DeFabo also served on the
Luzerne County Transit Au-
thority Board of Directors for
ve years.
I believe with my extended
business background and years
of community involvement, I
can bring a new and different
perspective to council, DeFabo
said in the release.

PHOENIX Alone in the
single-seat cockpit and high
above the American South-
west, pilot Bertrand Piccard
could hear only his planes gear
box and the quiet whine of four
electric motors. No noisy jet
engines.
Hes ying Solar Impulse,
considered the worlds most ad-
vanced sun-powered plane.
Piccard piloted the craft for
20 hours, rst cruising along
the California coast after tak-
ing off from Moffett Field in
Mountain View near San Fran-
cisco just after dawn Friday. He
passed over Edwards Air Force
Base, where other aviation
milestones have been made,
and then touched down early
Saturday morning at Phoenix
Sky Harbor Airport.
He landed having used only
three-quarters of the planes
battery power.
Its a little bit like being in
a dream, Piccard said as he
stepped on the tarmac.
The planes creators, Pic-
card and fellow pilot Andre
Borschberg, said the trip is
the rst attempt by a solar air-
plane capable of ying day and
night without fuel to y across
America.
But more important than
marking another aviation
milestone, Piccard said Satur-
day afternoon that he hopes
the journey will provide an
exponential boost for interest
in renewable energy and clean
technologies.
If an airplane can y day
or night with no fuel, just on
the suns power, of course it
means that everybody in daily
life can use this technology
for his house, for heating and
cooling systems, for lighting,
for cars, for trucks. Theres so
much we can do now to have a
cleaner future, Piccard said.
From Phoenix, the aircraft
will travel to Dallas-Fort Worth
airport in Texas, Lambert-St.
Louis airport, Dulles airport in
the Washington area and New
Yorks John F. Kennedy airport.
Each ight leg will take about
19 to 25 hours, with 10-day
stops in each city.
Borschberg is hoping to pilot
the last leg, which could afford
him the chance to y past the
Statue of Liberty.
The plane, which has previ-
ously impressed audiences in
Europe, is powered by about
12,000 photovoltaic cells that
cover massive wings and
charge its batteries.
The delicate, single-seat So-
lar Impulse ies around 40 mph
and cant go through clouds. It
weighs about as much as a car,
making it vulnerable to bad
weather.
Its average speed for the rst
leg of the trip was about 60
knots with a tail wind, Borsch-
berg said.
Ideally, the plane climbs up
to about 27,000 feet or so dur-
ing the day to collect solar and
charge the batteries.

Solar plane lands in Ariz., 1st leg of major trip
HARRISBURG A crush of
high-prole issues that Republi-
cans who control the Pennsylva-
nia Capitol have pledged to tack-
le this summer will converge
almost at once, but the path to
accomplishing those goals faces
the least certain landscape since
Gov. Tom Corbett took ofce.
Thats because the June 30
end of the Legislatures long
spring session will be the rst
test of the Senate Republicans
smallest majority in nearly two
decades after losing three open
seats to Democrats in the No-
vember election.
Still, that smaller majority
may give Senate Republicans
who are generally viewed as
less aligned with Corbett on the
major issues than House Repub-
licans a stronger hand in driv-
ing nal compromises.
Now, if just three members
of the Senate GOP refuse their
support for a bill favored by
Corbett or House Republicans,
it may become necessary to se-
cure support from Democrats.
And Democrats hope they
will benet as a result.
They have the opportunity,
by working with us, maybe to
shape the outcome of policy
issues, and which ones we ad-
dress and which ones we dont,
said the Senates Democratic
leader, Jay Costa of Allegheny
County.
Corbett, in his third year, has
tried to set up his latest priori-
ties to win legislative approval
before July 1. The last two
weeks of June are traditionally
a high-stakes deal-making pe-
riod when the nal state bud-
get is negotiated and legislative
leaders go in search of support
for high-priority legislation,
sometimes by tying the mea-
sures together to force compro-
mises.
The governors leading pri-
orities are privatizing the state-
controlled wine and liquor store
system, overhauling public em-
ployee pension systems, produc-
ing an on-time budget with his
biggest business tax cut yet and,
after two years of prodding by
lawmakers, boosting funding for
transportation systems.
In the next week, Republicans
expect to begin meeting private-
ly with top Corbett aides to start
serious discussions about taking
action on Corbetts priorities.
For their part, leaders of the
Senates Republicans 27-23
chamber majority challenge the
notion that the next two months
will test their ability to produce
policies acceptable to Republi-
cans.
Were not beginning the pro-
cess by excluding Democrats
and trying to run these bills
without Democrats coopera-
tion and support, said Senate
Majority Leader Dominic Pi-
leggi, R-Delaware. Thats our
normal practice in the Senate.
Besides, they said, so little
consensus exists between law-
makers and the governors ofce
on top GOP priorities that the
most pressing matter is simply
sitting down for serious talks
to nd common ground rather
than trying to predict who will
drive any compromise.
It always comes together
because, at the end of the day,
the option of walking out of
here June 30 without a budget
done, without anything done
on liquor, without anything
done on transportation, without
anything done on pensions, is
far worse than compromising,
said Senate President Pro Tem-
pore Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson.
People will start realizing that
soon.
The extent of Senate Demo-
crats willingness to cooperate
or ability to drive hard bargains
remains to be seen. But they are
working to insert one of their
top priorities, a massive expan-
sion of Medicaid under the 2010
federal health care law, into the
conversation.
Democrats, Costa said, also
want passage of a transportation
funding plan that includes sub-
stantial funding for mass transit
while scaling back the size of
Corbetts proposed business tax
cut to ensure that there is more
money for such things as public
schools.
Governors and legislative
leaders have methods of win-
ning crossover votes and their
end-of-June search to sway pli-
able rank-and-le lawmakers
often involves promises such
as support for a lawmakers pet
piece of low-prole legislation.
End of session
puts GOP to test
Republicans have full slate of
high-prole issues to tackle
this summer.

SPARTANBURG, S.C.
Doug May shed more than 300
pounds about three years ago.
He can now t into small-
er clothes and comfortably
squeeze into a seat at the movie
theater.
But now, while much slim-
mer, the Spartanburg resident
is weighed down by a different
struggle.
Ive developed a fear of food,
he said recently. He sat on his
front porch, next to a photo of a
much heavier version of himself
a person he doesnt want to
revisit. When I go out to eat, I
have to force myself to eat, he
said.
Anna Voss, a licensed profes-
sional counselor with Associates
at Park Avenue in Greenville,
said a fear of food is an eating
disorder she sees often.
It is something I commonly
see, she said. After working so
hard on one particular goal and
then reaching it, it makes sense
to become afraid of the thing
that created the problem for you
in the frst place. In this case, its
food.
She compared the problem to
a recovered alcoholic who be-
comes afraid of beer or bars.
You dont want to go back to
the way you were, she said.
Thats the fear May has.
I dont want to put the weight
back on. If I could get over that,
Id be OK.
He says he lost the weight
by exercising at home and by
changing his diet. Today, he is
basically a vegan, eating most-
ly raw fruits and vegetables, and
occasionally fsh.
When May was heavier, he
said his biggest problem was the
all-you-can-eat buffet.
I would pig out. I was out of
control.
Now, he realizes just how
much he relied on food in his
life.
When you try to take that
out of it, its hard to function,
he said. I just want to be able to
enjoy a pizza with my (10-year-
old) son.
Bob Brown, manager of the
Spartanburg Regional Heart
Wellness Center, encourages
people who are wanting to lose
weight to seek help from trained
professionals.
People sometimes have the
best intentions of doing some-
thing like losing weight but go
about it the wrong way, he said.
People need to have that coach
that oversees what they are do-
ing and help educate them on
the importance of things like nu-
trition and exercise.
Man fears food
after dropping
300 pounds
S.C. man suffers from eating
disorder, says a licensed
professional counselor.

Luxury Eyewear
Dr. Michele Domiano
The six-day race that began
April 7 led runners over sand
dunes and steep rock forma-
tions under scorching tempera-
tures. Byron said the unofcial-
ly recorded high temperature
on the fourth day, the day with
the longest run, was 131 de-
grees Fahrenheit. She said it
was unofcial because there
arent too many people walking
around the Sahara with ther-
mometers.
Preparation key
To build her strength for the
long haul, Byron, a Bishop Ho-
ban High School graduate, said
she ran six marathons and of-
ten trained in full desert gear.
Marathon des Sables runners
have to carry their own food
and survival gear, and Byron
said she wanted to be comfort-
able with a perpetual load on
her back.
I ran with a backpack full of
rocks a lot, she said.
Her two-year self-motivated
training took her around the
world to high altitudes and
long beaches, but the climate
she could never anticipate.
Heat was a variable I did not
know how I was going to work
through, Byron said.
Running 155 miles takes a
toll on the toes no matter if its
on sand or asphalt, and Byron
said she wanted to be sure she
took all the right precautions.
I never realized there was a
300-page book about blisters,
Byron said. But I read the
whole thing.
She wears mens shoes be-
cause they offer more room
around the toes and bought a
pair of Brooks Cascadia run-
ning shoes one size too large to
make room for the swelling she
knew was bound to happen.
She wore separated-toe socks
to keep out the sand and knee-
high compression socks over
the rst pair for more sand pro-
tection and to ease blood ow
in her legs.
Despite the dizzying heat,
she wore a long-sleeved shirt
for protection fromthe sun and
a ball cap with a ap behind
covering her neck.
Only a portion of her legs
and face were exposed to the
sun, but she said those areas
hardly tanned.
You dont shower for nine
days, Byron said. After a day
in the desert, youre so covered
in dirt that I didnt even get
tan.
Byron sawthose who did not
prepare so well. She described
medic tents with runners who
had lost most of the soles of
their feet to blisters and race
medical staff tending to col-
lapsed runners stricken with
heat stroke.
When Tom Byron and his
wife picked up their daughter
at the airport at the end of the
week, she entered the terminal
looking fresh and whole, cer-
tainly not like she just spent
six days running through one
of Earths most unforgiving ter-
rains, Tom Byron said.
Liz Byron said she made it to
the nish line with only a few
tiny blisters on her feet and
accredited it all to time spent
planning.
I think it was to her credit
that she didnt decompensate
either physiologically or men-
tally, her father said. Were
extraordinarily proud of her.
Sahara to school
A few years ago, after having
conquered a long list of physi-
cal challenges, Byron said she
searched the Internet for the
hardest race in the world.
She found Marathon des
Sables and began to prepare.
When she saw the great need
her students had for up-to-date
technology at her school, she
started a fund and coupled her
quest for the Sahara with the
cause.
A Boston School District
pilot academy is similar to a
charter school in Pennsylvania.
The schools receive some gov-
ernment funding, but educa-
tors in these schools have more
exibility to teach as they see
t. Likewise, they have to se-
cure a lot of their own funding.
About 90 percent of the stu-
dents at her school live below
federal poverty limits and, as
a full-inclusion school, Gard-
ner Pilot keeps students with
learning disabilities in the reg-
ular classroom.
With more than 100 well-at-
tended after-school programs,
Byron said getting students
comfortable around technol-
ogy is going to help them be-
come competent, valuable
members of society.
Theres a technology decit
in the school. I think access
to technology in 2013 is abso-
lutely necessary, Byron said.
That was partly the purpose
for doing such an extreme race,
because its an extreme cause.
A marathon in the sand
Clouds covered the sky only
on arrival day a day the
competitors didnt do any run-
ning. After that, it was clear
and sunny, pushing tempera-
tures above 120 every day.
Nearly 1,000 runners took
off in a group each morning
in the point-to-point race. This
type of racing has participants
running a determined distance
each day to reach camp. They
eat and sleep for a few hours,
then start again rst thing in
the morning.
Byron said it did not take
long for some to succumb to
heat exhaustion. While oth-
ers vomited on the side of the
road, Byron kept moving, run-
ning through a physical check-
list every few minutes, men-
tally noting if she felt dizzy or
thirsty. She would adjust her
pace, or pop a salt tablet ac-
cordingly.
The race keeps a full medi-
cal staff following the runners
in vehicles and aircraft. Byron
said they want to keep you in
the race, but ofcials charge
you for support.
If runners need nutrients in-
travenously, they accept a two-
hour penalty on their nal time
score.
Byron described the camps
each night where she reunited
with her tent mates.
It was like going home to
your Saharan family, Byron
said, explaining that they
would sit around the camp re
swapping stories while cook-
ing dehydrated camp food.
On the fourth day, the hot-
test day, runners had to com-
plete 50 miles. Byron ran into
the night and denied a break
all day, determined to pass the
test with ying colors.
She said that near the end of
that day, it took two hours to
complete the nal 10 kilome-
ters. She was running a 20-min-
ute mile.
I was moving so incredibly
slowly because I had just hit a
wall. My shoulders were in
excruciating pain, Byron said.
When she crossed the fourth-
stage nish line, she said it was
one of the most magnicent
moments as she realized just
how far she can push the hu-
man will.
Back in Boston
Michelle Sanchez, the Gard-
ner Pilot media teacher, kept
the school up to date with daily
emails from Byron.
Runners could send one
1,000-character email each
day, and Byron updated her
school as often as she could.
Sanchez said she formed a
bond with Byron during the
race as she received her emails
and posted them to a blog for
faculty and students to read.
I said, Liz, I feel so much
closer to you, Sanchez said.
Sanchez watched as students
in grades one through six got
involved with Byrons trek.
With Googles Earth-mapping
software, students could follow
her progress interactively.
We have Google Earth on
our computers , Sanchez
said. So the rst-graders eat
it up. They just love Google
Earth.
Sanchez let students contrib-
ute when writing emails to By-
ron. She was often approached
by students wondering just
how their inspiring teacher
was making it through the des-
ert.
They really do respect her
for what shes done, Sanchez
said. The little ones think
shes a superhero.
Byron took video of herself
running and sent messages
to the students to encourage
them.
She put in the work and
training, Sanchez said, and in-
spired the students to do great-
er things.
She would say during the
videos, Anything is possible,
Sanchez said.

More than 1,000 runners set out to conquer the Saraha Desert in April for the Marathon des
Sables. Dallas Native Liz Byron ran to raise money for cash-strapped Gardner Pilot Academy,
a Boston school where she works, that needs money to update technology.
BYRON
able to attend many graduate
schools, could face a tough time
being hired and will nd it dif-
cult transferring credits to an-
other university.
Mary Ann Merrigan, associ-
ate dean of the school of nurs-
ing at Wilkes University, said
its likely that less than half of
high school students searching
for colleges ask about accredita-
tion.
But its not the only thing to
look for.
The recent history of pass
rates of the National Council Li-
censure Examination could be
an indication of a solid program
or of one that is potentially at
risk of losing accreditation.
Program scores in Pennsylvania

Marywood experience
Sometimes students do
their due diligence and apply
to a school with an accredited
program with improving test
scores, only to see that status
change while theyre enrolled.
Marywood University in Scran-
ton is a case in point.
In fall 2009, its nursing pro-
gram was riding high. Less than
four years later, the program
nds itself unaccredited and its
117 nursing students are facing
an uncertain future.
Repeated efforts to contact
the National League for Nursing
Accrediting Commission Inc. in
Atlanta to learn why Marywood
lost its accreditation were not
returned.
First-time pass rates for those
taking the National Council Li-
censure Examination in recent
years are likely partly to blame.
After 88 percent of Mary-
wood nursing students taking
the licensure exam for the rst
time passed it in the 2008-09
cycle, the program was able
to boast it trailed only the
University of Scrantons 92.86
percent.
After three more testing
cycles in which the school saw
pass rates of 76, 72.73 and 77.78
percent, Marywood nds its
nursing program no longer ac-
credited and with lots of ques-
tions about the status of the
program and the future of its
students.
In light of whats happened
at Marywood, Merrigan said
the percentage of students ask-
ing nursing schools about their
accreditation status will likely
rise.
I know its opened some stu-
dents eyes, she said.
Dana Clark, provost and vice
president of academic affairs at
Luzerne County Community
College, said she feels for the
Marywood students.
Theres no way a student
would know this would happen
when they applied, Clark said.
She said checking on test
scores can help but they dont
always paint a clear picture.
Curriculum changes, a low
number of test takers and other
factors all impact pass rates an-
nually.
Standards set in 2010
Starting in 2010, by state law,
a nursing program must have a
pass rate of at least 80 percent.
Marywood has been below
that threshold for three straight
exam years. As it simultaneous-
ly appeals the National League
of Nursing Accreditation Com-
mission decision and reapplies
for accreditation, it has also
applied for accreditation to
the Commission on Collegiate
Nursing in Education, which is
an arm of the American Asso-
ciation of Colleges of Nursing.
Three of the other ve local
nursing programs Misericor-
dia University in Dallas Town-
ship, The University of Scran-
ton, and Wilkes University in
Wilkes-Barre are accredited
by that body. The other two,
LCCC in Nanticoke and Penn
State Worthington Scranton in
Dunmore, are accredited by the
National League of Nursing Ac-
creditation.
Jennifer Butlin, executive
director of the Commission on
Collegiate Nursing in Educa-
tion in New York, conrmed
Marywood has made initial con-
tact about applying for accredi-
tation but has not formally led
a request to start the review
process.
Students currently in the
Marywood nursing program
are in a wait-and-see pattern,
though ofcials at other area
nursing schools, including Wil-
kes, Penn State Worthington
Scranton and Misericordia,
conrm that theyve had many
inquiries from Marywood stu-
dents or their parents about
transferring.
Marywood and the Univer-
sity of Scranton last week an-
nounced an agreement that will
provide 25 current third-year
Marywood nursing students the
opportunity to complete their
nursing degree with the Univer-
sity of Scranton.
Our primary concern is our
students, said Marywood Pres-
ident Sister Anne Munley. We
are most grateful to the presi-
dent of the University of Scran-
ton and to key administrators
and nursing faculty for forging
this partnership in the best in-
terest of our students.
Through the agreement,
third-year nursing students in
good standing at Marywood can
apply for transfer to U of Scran-
tons nursing program based on
an evaluation. Those accepted
will be able to graduate in May
or August of 2014.
As for the remaining students
in lower grades, they can either
stay at Marywood and hope ac-
creditation is regained, switch
majors or transfer to another
college. Staying put is a risk,
but it could work out.
Ron Ruman, the spokesman
for the state Department of
State, said Marywood is still
approved albeit under a pro-
visional status by the state
board of nursing, which means,
accreditation or not, graduates
from the school who pass the
state nursing test can become
licensed nurses in the state.
Continued test pass rates
below the 80 percent plateau
and the loss of accreditation
are things that could lead to a
review by the state board. If the
board removes a school from
the approved list , then gradu-
ates would not be eligible to
become licensed nurses in the
state.
Not a sudden thing
Mary Jane Hansen, a nursing
professor at University of Scran-
ton, said probation could be an
indication of future problems
but not always. Programs might
look great when a student ap-
plies but take a turn for the
worse in just a matter of a year
or two.
Its rare for a program to lose
its accreditation, Hansen said,
adding she doubts Marywood
students could have predicted
this course of action. But there
were some signs of trouble.
Marywoods nursing program
has been on probation in recent
years because of low test scores
recorded in the National Coun-
cil Licensure Examination ex-
ams. It increased test scores last
year but still fell short of the 80
percent plateau.

CYC dance before shooting
On the night of the shooting
her husband was at the Wyo-
ming Valley CYC for a daddy
daughter dance with their
6-year-old. She stood on his
feet as they practiced in the
kitchen of their house for the
much-anticipated affair.
The son involved in the ar-
gument called Cottle at the
dance, according to Budding-
ton. After contacting her to
come to the dance, Cottle left
and picked up his son on Coal
Street.
Cottle turned onto Reno
Lane, where his son saw the
other young man involved in
an altercation. Cottle, who was
unarmed, got out of his car and
wanted to talk to the young
mans father.
Thats when Cottle was shot,
she said.
The gunshot wounds were
on the front of Cottles body,
she said, indicating he was not
running from the shooter. He
just killed him, she said.
Its that kind of violence that
Buddington said she and Cot-
tle moved away from in New
Jersey. She declined to identify
the location in NewJersey and,
out of concern for the safety for
their children, she would not
identify them.
It was better here, she said
of Wilkes-Barre.
Found a home
They established roots and
found a place to call home. She
intends to stay.
Im not going anywhere,
Buddington said with deter-
mination in her voice as she
sat on a sofa with an array of
framed photographs of the chil-
dren individually and together
on the wall behind her. In the
middle of the display nine pho-
tos clustered around a wood
cutout of the word Family.
The morning sunlight poured
through the front windows,
illuminating the living room
that opened to a dining area
and kitchen at the other end of
the house.
This is the house he built
for us. This where we want to
be. This where we are going to
be.
Cottle wanted each of his
seven children to have a house
and worked long hours at his
trucking company, Terric
Transport, as the sole provider.
They were renovating a house
next door in the citys East End
as a rental.
That project takes a backseat
to other issues in front of Bud-
dington, mainly how to put
food on the table and pay the
bills. She has been attending
a local trade school, studying
to become an administrative
medical assistant.
Her teacher, Susan Morris,
said Buddington is set to grad-
uate in December. She enrolled
so she could earn an income
for her family.
She is a very conscientious
student, Morris said.
Morris never met Cottle, but
said he supported his wifes go-
ing to school.
Social media comments
Morris too reacted to com-
ments on the social media site
that she said contained misin-
formation about Cottle and his
family. A person with the iden-
tical last name has a lengthy
criminal record and people are
confusing him with Budding-
tons husband.
Theyre not transient trans-
plants. They are contributing
members of society and pay
real estate taxes on several
properties, Morris said.
A Facebook page, Support
the Family of Derrick Cottle
aka Iself Terric Allah, ap-
peared Friday with information
about him and a fund that was
set up for his children: Cottle
Children College Fund, Choice
One Credit Union, 101 Hazle
St., Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702.
Buddington has been strug-
gling with how to tell her
youngest children, ages 5, 6,
and 8, that their father is dead.
The three babies dont un-
derstand yet, she said.
They ask where their daddys
at and wait for him to come
through the door, she said.
They had the best daddy in
the world. From day one, he
was always there, Buddington
said.
She was the tougher of the
two parents. Even though he
stood 6 feet tall and weighed a
solid 232 pounds from his pre-
dawn workouts at Planet Fit-
ness, Cottle was the softy.
He melted, like water and
sugar, she said.
He was the one who secretly
gave them chewing gum de-
spite her protests, and he was
the one who scratched his
name among those of the chil-
dren in the fresh concrete side-
walk in front of the house. In
the middle he printed ISELF,
the name he chose when he ac-
quired knowledge of himself,
Buddington.
Cottle would want them to
stay strong and support each
other as a family, just as if he
were alive, said Buddington.
They will live up to his expec-
tations, she added.
We all we got. We stick to-
gether, she said.

Summary: Rain and thunderstorms will wet the South and Tennessee Valley

damp as the Pacific Northwest warms.
and friends to give their full
cooperation, according to the
experts.
David Zlotnick, a professor of
law at Roger Williams Univer-
sity and former federal prosecu-
tor in the District of Columbia,
said authorities may be tracking
Russell closely because they feel
shes not being completely hon-
est about all she knows.
It seems to me they dont be-
lieve her yet, he said.
Dzhokhar is in a prison hos-
pital, facing a potential death
sentence if convicted of the ter-
rorism plot that authorities al-
lege the 19-year-old and his late
26-year-old brother carried out
April 15. Twin pressure cooker
bombs detonated near the races
nish line, leaving three people
dead and injuring more than 260
others. Tamerlan died in a gun-
ght with authorities April 19,
a day after authorities released
photos of the suspects.
Tamerlans widow has been
ensconced at her parents North
Kingstown, R.I., home since
then. Much about her remains
a mystery, including what she
knew or witnessed in the weeks,
months and years before the
bombings, and what she saw
and did in the days after.
Its unclear when Russell last
communicated with her hus-
band, but her lawyer, Amato
DeLuca, told The Associated
Press in an interview last month
that the last time she saw him
was before she went to work
April 18. DeLuca said Tuesday
that Russell had met with law
enforcement for many hours
over the past week, and would
continue to do so in the coming
days. He previously told the AP
that Russell didnt suspect her
husband of anything before the
bombings, and nothing seemed
amiss in the days after.
Zlotnick said the fact that
charges have been brought
against the younger brothers
three friends from the Universi-
ty of Massachusetts Dartmouth
over allegations they covered up
for Dzhokhar indicates authori-
ties are willing to go after the
widow for similar actions. That
puts pressure on Russell to co-
operate.
Dias Kadyrbayev and Aza-
mat Tazhayakov, students from
Kazakhstan, were charged
this week with conspiring to
obstruct justice by taking a
backpack with reworks and a
laptop from Dzhokhars dorm
room, while Robel Phillipos was
charged with lying to investiga-
tors about the visit to the dorm
room. All three are 19 years old
and face the possibility of ve or
more years in federal prison.
The lawyers for the Kazakh
students said their clients had
nothing to do with the bombing
and were shocked by the crime.
Phillipos attorney, Derege De-
missie, said he was accused only
of a misrepresentation.
Nancy Gertner, a former fed-
eral judge in Massachusetts
and a professor at Harvard Law
School, said she believes author-
ities will try to use the conspir-
acy charges against the friends
to turn them into cooperating
witnesses against Dzhokhar.
They will also see if the defen-
dants can help them determine
if theres a wider plot and a con-
tinuing danger for citizens.
I think its to nd out are
there other tentacles here?
Gertner said.
A grand jury is likely already
hearing testimony against
Dzhokhar, said Michael Sulli-
van, a former U.S. attorney for
Massachusetts who also once
headed the federal Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives. He said investiga-
tors will be looking into whether
the brothers tested bombs be-
fore the attack and asking ques-
tions about whom Tamerlan had
contact with when he traveled to
Russia last year.
Those are some of the things
they would also want to know
from Russell.
One of investigators goals
right now is to gure out if she
has knowledge of how he be-
came radicalized, who he spoke
to, how he may have learned to
make the bomb and whether
there are others out there who
share his views, said Ron Sul-
livan, a professor and director
of Harvards Criminal Justice
Institute.
In addition to threatening her
with criminal charges and a po-
tential prison sentence to get
what they want from her, Ron
Sullivan said authorities can
bring social pressure to bear, in-
cluding leaking information that
suggests she isnt being helpful.

Its no secret that as the
weather warms up in Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania, the concert
season really starts to sizzle.
Leading the way once again,
as it has since the permanent
structure was built
in1999, is the Toyota
Pavilion at Montage
Mountain in Scran-
ton. The amphithe-
ater run by LiveNa-
tion seats 7,000 and
has roomfor another
10,500 on the lawn,
so it is well-equipped
to bring the biggest
stars to NEPA for
some hot summer
nights.
The Dave Mat-
thews Band, which
was the rst act to
completely sell out the facil-
ity on its rst visit to the area
in June 2005, will kick off the
season on May 29.
Dave Matthews loves the
area, said Jason Resetar, the
general manager at the Toyota
Pavilion. Hes excited, were
excited, and we think it is a
great way to start the summer.
Resetar said the opening act
for the DMB show this year
will be moe, which has head-
lined in the area on
its own in the past.
They are only
playing two loca-
tions with Dave
Matthews Band
this year, and one
of them is right
here, he said. It
is a tremendous op-
portunity for con-
cert-goers to see
two great bands,
and I want to stress
that there are still
lots of great seats
available. Some-
times people hear Dave Mat-

The high-ying Kid Rock is just one of the summer highlights
on tap for the Toyota Pavilion at Montage Mountain.
I havent written much about CBS The
Good Wife lately, but its not because Im
not watching.
As hard as sports overruns and the
Sunday cable competition make this 9
p.m. slot, Ive caught every episode. I also
saw Sundays Season 4 nale in advance,
which was fun and fast-paced and surprising
in ways that had less to do than you might
think with the tangled relationships among
Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies), her gu-
bernatorial candidate husband Peter (Chris
Noth) and her law partner Will Gardner
(Josh Charles).
That love triangle, honestly, might be
nearing its sell-by date.
There are still reasons, though, to love
The Good Wife, which doesnt get the
buzz of those shows with CGI dragons or
uncomfortable-looking 60s outts:
ITs noT TRyIng To be scandal.
The clothes are just as cool, and the sex,
when it happens, is just as hot, but for a
show that started out with the title charac-
ters discovery that her politician husband
had been cheating on her, The Good Wife
has achieved a remarkable balance between
the personal and the political.
Thats something that real working wom-
en and men have to do every day, but
that TV characters too seldom manage.

helmed Once, will direct.
Performances begin Sept, 5
with an opening night set for
Sept. 26. The venue will be a
Shubert Theatre that has yet
to be announced. The show
originated at the acclaimed
American Repertory Theater
outside Boston this winter.
The play centers on an ag-
ing Southern belle who hopes
her son can fulll her dreams
of nding the perfect gentle-
man caller for her shy and
damaged daughter.
The last time The Glass
Menagerie hit Broadway was
2005 starring Jessica Lange
and Christian Slater. The lat-
est revival comes on the heels
of A Streetcar Named Desire
last year with Blair Underwood
and Nicole Ari Parker, and Cat
on a Hot Tin Roof this year
with Scarlett Johansson.

Again and again aerial photog-
rapher Peter Stern circled the
abandoned gravel quarry, shooting
some fairly plain pictures.
Suddenly, a ray of sunlight spar-
kled on the water below and he
captured it.
It gives it a kind of twinkle in
the eye, said Stern, whose favor-
ite quarry image, surrounded by
lush green trees, reminds him of
the eye of a doe or a very placid
creature.

Mind your manners or else
Im trying
to be helpful
when I hand
the clerk at
the conve-
nience store
two ones
and a couple
of coins for my soda and
chips. After all, Ive just seen
the hand-lettered sign about
their needing single bills.
Thank you, honey, she
smiles.
She shouldnt have done
that. At a snap of my ngers,
two burly dudes in Prussian
blue stride behind the coun-
ter. Grabbing the shocked
clerk rmly by her arms,
they hustle her out the door.
The retraining should
take just a few months, one
of them says to her.
But in the end it all
depends on how quickly you
learn, says the other as they
usher her into the back of a
dark van.
The store manager, return-
ing from the stockroom,
knows better than to inter-
vene. Hes seen me in there
before.
Im sorry for the incon-
venience, sir, he mutters to
me as he gestures to the next
customer to step up and pay
for her pack of butterscotch
TastyKakes.
Well, of course I dont
actually enjoy disrupting
someones life like that, I
muse as I sip my soda on the
way to my car. But what am I
supposed to do with a person
who thinks that everyone
under 20 and over 50 should
be addressed at every turn
as honey? Personally, I
believe Im doing this lady a
favor by sending her (though
unwillingly) to continuing
education.
Let me explain.
Some years ago I made the
acquaintance of the Behav-
ior Commandos. Theyre a
really cool group of men and
women who assist me in my
quest to show others the er-
ror of their ways.
You never know when a
situation will call for action.
I can drive up Interstate 81
to the RailRiders stadium
and back and everybody on
the road is a model of deport-
ment. The whole trip is a
pleasure.
But take the other Sat-
urday at Mass. Im about
two-thirds of the way up the
side aisle of the church when
I spot a nearly empty pew
empty except for some guy
whos parked himself right
at the end and clearly has no
intention of moving in.
Not only that, but hes got
the darned kneeler down
already.
Climb over him to get a
seat? Not on your life! I step
to one side as the Behavior
Commandos appear (rever-
ently, to be sure), tap his
shoulder and whisper that he
must go with them. Quicker
than you can splash the holy
water, hes on the way to
some shall we say Sun-
day school.
My spirits miraculously
restored, Im standing at
the church door 45 minutes
later shaking hands with
the priest and saying A ne
sermon, Father.
Now please dont think Im
one of those hard-to-please
types. Actually I let a lot of
questionable behavior go,
since I dont want to seem
too egotistical.
Some very tall dude wear-
ing a shirt with the other
teams logo plunks himself
down in front of me at a
basketball game? Hey, I can
live with that.
Want the parking space I
just had my eye on? Be my
guest. Its a big world, and
we have to get along.
But sometimes youve got
to stand up for yourself.
And you can bet that the
very day I gure out whos
responsible for taking my fa-
vorite shows off the History
Channel in favor of marathon
reality TV therell be a
couple of very untelegenic
visitors in some corporate
boardroom.
Hey, dont touch that dial.

REMEMBER WHEn
and they cant get tickets, but
thats not the case.
The lineup at the Toyota
Pavilion is full of the one-day
festivals area music fans have
come to expect, including the
Mayhem Festival (July 13), the
Vans Warped Tour (July 16) and
the Uproar Festival (Aug. 9),
this time with Alice in Chains
and Janes Addiction and seven
other bands.
But the centerpiece of the
schedule will once again be the
Peach Music Festival, hosted by
the Allman Brothers Band. After
last years highly successful in-
augural get-together, the Peach
has been expanded to a fourth
day this time and will run from
Aug. 15 through Aug. 18.
Thats not only the center-
piece of our season but also the
centerpiece of what we see as
our future, Resetar said. That
was the rst step in taking more
control of our future and not
being so dependent on whos
on the road and whether it is a
good or bad year. We are evolv-
ing (the Toyota Pavilion) from
a place with the typical touring
shows to more of a destination,
and the Peach was a tremendous
success on many, many fronts.
We are expecting it to be even
bigger and better this year.
The Toyota Pavilion also will
play host two other festivals
with a decidedly more local
slant: the Old Farmers Ball Mu-
sic Festival on Saturday and the
Steamtown Beer & Music Festi-
val on June 15.
We are very excited to be
partnering with Cabinet, prob-
ably the premier local act in the
market at this point, and with
local charity Marleys Mission
on the Old Farmers festival, Re-
setar said. We have been told
that the area wants things like
that, and we are very excited to
be teaming up for it.
The Steamtown Beer & Mu-
sic Festival is truly a beer-driv-
en event that has been a great
success in the Atlantic City
market, and we are excited to be
bringing it to Scranton. It is two
pay-one-price four-hour sessions
with unlimited sampling and
great music by both regional
and national acts.
The other highlights of the
Toyota Pavilions roster include
returning favorites Lil Wayne
(July 21) and Jason Aldean
(Aug. 25) plus the rst area per-
formances by Kid Rock (July 6)
and Maroon 5 with Kelly Clark-
son (Sept. 1).
Resetar said the schedule is
not yet nalized so we can ex-
pect a few more surprises soon
and noted that the box ofce is
now open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
every day.
Kid Rock is partnering with
LiveNation on the national lev-
el to bring a groundbreaking,
highly affordable night out for
his fans, and we are thrilled that
one of the stops will be in Scran-
ton, and on a holiday weekend
no less, Resetar said of Kid
Rocks plan to price all seats at
$20 including all fees. Resetar
said the Toyota Pavilion also is
working on a $20 food and bev-
erage special for that night.
And to close out the season
with probably the hottest tour
out there is just tremendous,
he said of the Maroon 5 and
Clarkson double bill. We dont
think we could have made that
night any hotter, and we think
that is the perfect way to end
what we feel will be an incred-
ible concert season.

a worthy second act after ER,
theres Noth, Charles, Christine
Baranski, Archie Panjabi and
Alan Cumming. I mean, Alan
Cumming? Id watch a whole
show with him as Eli Gold, but
having him in this ensemble is
even better.
It knows how to use
Its guest stars.
Like Law & Order before
it, The Good Wife takes full
advantage of its New York base,
so its no surprise that many of
its recurring players have Broad-
way experience. But its not
enough to attract a Nathan Lane
or a Martha Plimpton: You need
to know what to do with them
(beyond making them the kill-
ers everyone sees coming from
their rst scene).
The Good Wife writers de-
liver. Which may be why Mamie
Gummer, after starring in two
failed series, has yet to land a TV
role as good as Nancy Crozier.
It accepts Its
lImItatIons, but Isnt
lImIted by them.
Commercials are a fact of
broadcast television, and while
writers may not like them, they
enjoy getting paid. So, like most
ad-supported shows, The Good
Wife is written with ad breaks,
a format that can be considered
either a straitjacket or a sonnet, a
structure that can foster creativ-
ity. If you dont think taking com-
mercials into account matters,
try watching AMCs Mad Men
in real time, with the jarring cuts
to commercial that remind us its
a show about advertising.
It explores the
realItIes of the
corporate ladder.
Mad Mens Peggy Olson
(Elisabeth Moss) isnt the only
one this season nding out that
being the boss isnt always as
much fun as it looks frombelow.
Withher promotionto partner,
Alicias been confronting some of
the unfairnesses built into the
law-rm system as well as even
more of the ethical dilemmas in-
volved in the practice of law.
It can admIt Its
mIstakes.
Lots of us hated the 50 Shades
of Grey story line involvingKalin-
da (Panjabi) andher ex-husband, a
reactionthat GoodWife creators
Robert and Michelle King report-
edly didnt see coming, but which
they nevertheless dealt with.
It delIvers 22 epIsodes
a season, not 10 or 13.
After Sunday, I wished there
were 23 or 24. But CBS has re-
newed it for a fth season, so
there will be more.

Lets Explore Diabetes With
Owls by David Sedaris; Little,
Brown and Co. ($27)
Being funny has made David
Sedaris a well-off man.
It can be gauche, sometimes
unethical, to mention this sort
of thing. Review the book, crit-
ics are told, not the author or
the sales gures. But Sedaris
success has become an unavoid-
ably integral part of his work.
Each bestseller lands him a new
book tour, ies him to a new
vacation spot, delivers him to
a new home. And in each new
place he can again observe the
foibles within himself and oth-
ers that made him arguably
Americas best-known humor
writer. Nearly two decades since
his debut collection, Barrel Fe-
ver, hes become the closest
thing the genre has to a perpetu-
al motion machine.
Lets Explore Diabetes With
Owls, his eighth book, is stud-
ded with stories in which Se-
daris is a victim of brand-new
circumstance. With each milieu
he parachutes into, hes over-
powered by a sense of surprise,
disgust or frustration. Here he
is in Australia Canada in a
thong, or thats the initial im-
pression.
There he is in irredeemably
unhygienic China, where the
service grade in the window of
one restaurant is a smiley face
with the smile turned upside
down. And here he is in Eng-
land, where his new home in
the verdant countryside is over-
whelmed with trash.
This wide-eyed guy named
David is a cultivated persona,
to be sure hes responded to
accusations of massaging de-
tails about his personal life by
saying his pieces are realish.
But one reason Sedaris work
has remained so effective and
so funny is that his emotional
responses, a blend of intiness
and compassion, remain un-
varnished. His style of humor
blunts sentiment and replaces it
with a gallows humor that nds
unlikely comedy in taxidermied
human heads and attempted as-
sault. If his new book isnt quite
as mortality-obsessed as his
previous set of personal essays,
2008s When You Are Engulfed
in Flames, its core sensibility
is still the feeling that the other
shoe is dropping.
Ive always had an eye for
ruined-looking men, he writes
in the collections best-turned
piece, A Guy Walks Into a
Bar Car. Recalling his callow
20-something attraction to alco-
holics on Amtrak rides, he nds
a dream man with an aspect
resembling a screw-top bottle
of wine the day before it turns
to vinegar. In that piece and in
most of the personal essays, Se-
daris tucks a revealing, poignant
moment amid a whirlwind of
comic shenanigans.
Writing about his ill-fated at-
tempt to raise sea turtles as a
child turns out you cant rep-
licate salt water by pouring salt
into water he recalls how his
library research trip led him to
stumble onto two men in a-
grante delicto in the restroom.
The men were doing some-
thing indecent, and recognizing
it as such meant that I had an
eye for it. That I too was sus-
pect. And wasnt I?
Sedaris family, the drive-
train of so many of his funniest
pieces, is still around: His father
remains as hardheaded as ever,
easing up only slightly to insist
that David get a colonoscopy.
(Yet another strange territory to
tentatively investigate.)
But his childhood stories now
focus more on his own short-
comings than those of his par-
ents or siblings. Recalling his
attempt to befriend a poor black
girl in ninth grade, hes struck
by the condescension he was
oblivious to at the time. Hes
only matured so much, howev-
er: In Standing By, hes openly
contemptuous of the people hes
stuck with at the airport, and
Now Hiring Friendly People
is about nothing more compli-
cated than being forced to wait
in the line at Starbucks.
So the job of being David Se-
daris, successful humor writer,
means forever making gestures
toward growing up but never
quite pulling it off. Send him to
the dentist, to Costco, to South
Korea, and hell come back with
a story about how he cant mus-
ter up the requisite adult de-
meanor in any of those places.
But the job demands that he try.
In his new home in the British
countryside, hes so repulsed by
the rubbish spoiling the land-
scape that hes motivated to do
roadside trash pickup by him-
self. What did my life consist
of before this? he writes, mock-
ing himself. Surely there was
something I was devoted to?
As if he doesnt know the an-
swer.
Then and now, hes writing.
And with each scrap he picks
up be it a stray potato-chip
bag or a Hawaii vacation hes
gathered that much more fod-
der for another funny book.

Scenes from the realish life of David Sedaris
By Mark athitakis
MCT Wire Services
NEW YORK Mitch Albom, one of the
countrys most popular authors, has a new
publisher and a new novel coming this fall.
The author of the sentimental favorite
Tuesdays With Morrie has a three-book
deal with Harper, an imprint of HarperCol-
lins Publishers. Alboms previous publisher
was the Disney-owned Hyperion, where he
had spent much of his career.
At Harper, Albom will be edited by Karen
Rinaldi, a friend since the 1990s when she
attempted and failed to acquire Tues-
days With Morrie for Crown.
I have never forgotten our rst meeting and
his subsequent success, which have always
been bittersweet for me, Rinaldi said in a
statement. It is particularly satisfying to bring
Mitch to Harper, where our teams expertise
andspirit of collaborationwill createanunprec-
edentedfocus andpassionfor the next phase of
Mitchs exceptional writing career.
We see stories the same way, Albom, 54,
said in a statement. Its going to be a joy
working with her.
Harper told The Associated Press on
Wednesday that Alboms next book is called
The First Phone Call from Heaven, the
story of a small Michigan town where resi-
dents start receiving phone calls from those
in the afterlife. Albom said in the statement
that the new novel is maybe my favorite
story yet, a tale of belief, love and mystery.
Albom, whose previous works include
Have a Little Faith and The Five People
You Meet in Heaven, had been a signature
author for Hyperion, which has been focus-
ing in recent years on books tied to a fellow
Disney company, ABC television. Alboms
agent, David Black, declined to comment
on why he left Hyperion and instead empha-
sized his bond with Rinaldi, Harpers senior
vice president and executive editor. Hyper-
ion issued a statement Wednesday saying,
We hope Mitch Alboms career continues
to grow.

That kind of serendipity has led
to some fascinating photographs for
the artist, who has about 40 pieces
on display at Misericordia Universi-
tys Pauly Friedman Gallery through
June 2.
TitledPennsylvaniaFromAbove,
the exhibit shows aerial
views of everything from
marshlandto abandoned
bituminous coal elds,
and Stern sees beauty in
all of it.
One of his photos,
for example, shows
a site near Hazleton
that looks like a vast
wasteland of coal-mine
detritus. Its just miles
of churned-up earth
and strip mines and ar-
eas where forests are
barely growing in coal
remnants. It can ap-
pear extremely bleak
and unappealing, but in
the photograph, which I
took fromabout 300 feet
above the ground, in the
golden misty light I saw
incredible patterns and
shapes that were made
by earth-moving ma-
chinery.
I think there are mes-
sages from nature that
come through even in
these areas that have
been altered, he said.
Explaining how he feels a sense
of reverence for the landscape Imy-
ing over, Stern said, Its a spiritual
connection with the natural world
that I look for.
That can lead to a connection with
other people as well.
Onawintrydaywhenhehappened
to get out of work early theres
that serendipity again Stern took
advantage of the daylight by rush-
ing to the airport and, almost as an
afterthought, grabbing his camera.
He was glad he did, because that day
he shot an image of Marylands Pret-
tyboy Island, covered with snow and
delicate trees.
A friend asked for a copy to give
toanother friend, andonthe day (the
eventual recipient) opened the pack-
age, it was the day her mother had
died. She said it gave her a strong
sense of calm and serenity at that
moment, Stern said. I feel if I can
make that kind of connection with
someone or touch them emotionally
thats one of the strongest things I
could hope for.
In case youre wonder-
ing how Stern manages
to y and shoot photos
at the same time, he ex-
plained, Your feet are
on the rudders and at
least one hand is on the
control stick. You need
to make throttle adjust-
ments, but you can di-
vide your time between
the camera and that.
Autopilot can help, as
does a special bracket
for the camera, which
allows me to y in the
left seat of my plane
and shoot with my left
hand.
Stern, 51, lives in Bal-
timore and commutes to
Washington, D.C., for his
day job as an exhibit
specialist at the National
Air and Space Museum.
His airplane often takes
himtoPennsylvaniaand,
in fact, all but three of
the images in the Miseri-
cordia exhibit are from
the Keystone State.
Pennsylvania is a state that hous-
es a lot of natural beautybut has been
exploited for its natural resources,
whether steel or coal and now natu-
ral gas, he said. I feel an afnity for
this place, a place of beauty that has
been transgured.
Im very much a purist about
photography, he continued. I dont
crop any of my photographs. I dont
use any color enhancements. I use
the light and time of year and my
own ability to create the most com-
pelling photographs I can. Thats the
challenge of it, a certain dedication
to honestly convey what Imseeing.
I want to pay tribute to this land.

Finals have wrapped up. The first year

Those that remain

large part because of the

overtime of Game 2 of a Stanley Cup NHL playoff series against
the New York Rangers on Saturday in Washington. The Capitals
defeated the Rangers 1-0 in overtime to take a 2-0 series lead.
WASHINGTON Puck over
glass. The New York Rangers
dont score.
Puck over glass. Casual Mike
does.
The NHLs black-and-white de-
lay-of-game rule found a gray area
late in regulation, then tipped the
balance of the game twice in over-
time. The Washington Capitals
held firm when they were a man
down, then won it on Mike Greens
latest extra-time winner, topping
the Rangers 1-0 Saturday to take a
2-0 series lead in the Eastern Con-
ference playoffs.
Its the eighth career overtime
goal and first in the postsea-
son for the defenseman whose
more well-known nickname is
Game Over Green.
When it gets to overtime and
guys start to get the shakes a little
bit, hes still calm Mike Green,
teammate Karl Alzner said. So
hes able to find those goals. We
call him Casual Mike every now
and then.

Joel Rosario rides Orb down the homestretch of Churchill Downs and to a victory in Kentucky Derby Saturday in Louisville, Ky.
Run for the Roses is
a big hit at Mohegan
Joel Rosario lifts the trophy for winning
Saturdays Kentucky Derby over his head.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Way back
in the pack heading into the final
turn, Orb was calm even if his
jockey wasnt.
Then trainer Shug Mc-
Gaugheys bay colt picked up
speed, churning through a slop-
py track that resembled creamy
peanut butter, and blew past ri-
vals one-by-one.
By that time, jockey Joel Rosa-
rio knew he was aboard the Ken-
tucky Derby winner.
Orb powered to a 2-length
victory Saturday at Churchill
Downs, giving McGaughey and
Rosario their first Derby wins.
I was so far behind, Rosario
said. He was very relaxed, its
exactly what I wanted.
Rosario had Orb in the clear
on the outside and they forged
to the lead in deep stretch, with
enough momentum to hold off
34-1 shot Golden Soul.
It was a popular victory be-
fore a crowd of 151,616, which
poured enough late money on
Orb to make him the 5-1 favor-
ite, a position Revolutionary had
owned most of the day.
McGaughey, a 62-year-old na-
tive of Lexington, finally got the
Derby win he had long sought.
Orb was just his second starter
since 1989, when he settled for
second after Sunday Silence beat
Easy Goer on a muddy track.
It means everything to me,
the Hall of Famer said. Ive al-
ways dreamed of this day and it
finally came.
The rain that pelted the track
earlier in the day had stopped
by the time 19 horses paraded
to the post for the 139th Derby.

PLAINS TWP. The first sign that
something seemed different about the
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs race-
track was a packed parking lot, where
only overflow spaces could be found
within an hour of the big race.
The second signal was the sea of
women wearing oversized sun bonnets.
And for good measure, a mustacioed
man walked by wearing a white suit and
a fedora.
Where in the world did these people
think they were going Saturday, to Ken-
tucky?
Well, yes.
Once again, the Kentucky Derby came
to Pocono Downs, where live feeds of
horse racings most popular event held at
Churchill Downs played not only in the
lounge and betting areas but on a jumbo
television on the infield of the track.
Meanwhile, area fans walked through
a vibe of excitement - some watching

ON THE MARK
By Mark Dudek
Tonights featured race is race ten on your program, with the
$25,000 Mares Preferred the main attraction. In that feature I am
sticking with the sharp Western Ideal six-year old Lorrie Please.
The Michael Hall trainee has won both her starts at Pocono this
year, including a sizzling 1:50.2 career best mile taken last week.
She has the speed to burn and look for driver Eric Carlson to have
this mare in the right place, at the right time to score the victory.

MOOSIC If youve been to the re-
constructed PNC Field so far this sea-
son you have probably noticed mem-
bers of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
RailRiders staff keeping things tidy.
Its not just the ushers or field staff
that are doing the dirty work as front
office personnel have got into the act
as well.
One of those members is Jeremy
Ruby, the teams Executive Vice Presi-
dent of Operations.
The building is kinda my baby, so
I want it to be the greatest experience
for every night for anyone walking in
here, Ruby said. Every night, theres
first-time individuals coming through
the ballpark so I want them to see and
view it in perfect condition. Its just
my mentality.
Its just the way we think and act
around here. Its a professional facility
with professional individuals running
it so its important for us to keep a
good product.
Ruby, who resides in Eynon, has a
long history with the stadium pos-
sibly the most of any other person cur-
rently employed by the RailRiders.
Glory days
It started on a day in June 1994
when Ruby was playing high school
baseball for Valley View and helped
his team to the District 2 champion-
ship with a win over Dallas. Ruby
smacked a home run during that day,
mere hours after learning he was se-
lected by the California Angels in the
Major League Baseball Amateur Draft
earlier in the day.
It was one of those days I will nev-
er forget, its one of the top 10 days in
my lifetime, Ruby added.
When his playing career didnt pan
out as well as he had hoped, Ruby be-
gan working for the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Red Barons as a baseball opera-
tions intern in 1998 after graduating
from East Stroudsburg University.
He climbed the organizational lad-
der eventually becoming General
Manager in 2005 and being named
Executive Vice President/General
Manager when the franchise changed
hands to the New York Yankees in
2007.
But in 2010, Ruby stepped away
from the team and spent time as di-
rector of athletics and development
at Abington Heights High School. He
was away from the organization for 16
months prior to returning last July.
And things couldnt be better for
the 36-year-old.
The ballpark is beautiful. If I didnt
come back, it would be the biggest
mistake of my life, he said. This is
truly the greatest experience to work
in a facility like this and now to share
it with not only the RailRiders fans
but the community here in Lackawan-
na, Luzerne and surrounding counties
its just an awesome feeling.
A family passion
Besides being involved in the sport
for nearly his whole life, Ruby has fam-
ily who have been around it as well.
His father is Gary Ruby, a veteran
pitching coach in the minors. He
just started his 27th season in Minor
League Baseball earlier this month as
mentor to the pitchers for Houstons
Double-A affiliate in Corpus Christi,
Texas.
The older Ruby was drafted as well,
being selected by Cleveland in 1969.
He advanced to Double-A as a pitcher
before an injury hampered his playing
career.
Hes been everything to me, Jer-
emy said of his father. He taught me
everything I know about not only how
to play the game, but how to grow
within the game and ultimately to get
me to a job like this. So Ive learned
everything fromhim. I owe it all to my
dad.
Theres more baseball ties to the
family.
Joe Paparella, who was a long-time
umpire in the American League from
1946-65, was Garys grandfather, and
Jeremys great grandfather. Paparella
worked four World Series, getting the
nod in 1948, 1951, 1957 and 1963. He
also umpired four All-Star Games, be-
ing selected in 1948, 1954, 1959 and
1964.
In what would be a very competi-
tive family atmosphere for most with
that much knowledge, Jeremy said it
wasnt like that at all.
It wasnt so competitive, it was
more long distance (with my father)
but we worked together on it no mat-
ter what.
Jeremy and his wife Maria have two
children, Dante and Marco.

STaNDINGS
Jeremy Ruby is back in the organization
WeeK aHeaD
After a successful and wet south-
ern swing, the RailRiders return home
Monday for an eight-game homestand.
Heres a closer look at this weeks
upcoming opponents for the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.
Indianapolis Indians
The RailRiders return to PNC Field on
Monday after a doubleheader at Gwin-
nett to face Indianapolis, the Triple-A
affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, for four
games.
The Indians are different than many
other teams Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
has played recently, as they have the
best record in the International League
entering this weekend. They are winners
of seven in a row and a league-high 21
victories, and they hold a commanding
lead in the West Division over second-
place Columbus. The last two opponents
of SWB began the weekend combining
for 19 wins on the season and were on
long losing streaks when the RailRiders
faced them.
Indianapolis has been winning with
pitching, leading the I.L. with a 2.71
ERA almost a half run better than the
second-place team. On the mound and
at the plate, the Indians have a veteran
club with several players having plenty of
Major League experience.
Right-hander Gerrit Cole, the organiza-
tions top prospect according to Baseball
America, is expected to pitch later in
the series for Indianapolis. He began the
weekend with a 2.31 earned run average
and a 2-1 record.
SWB will likely miss Pittsburgh rehab-
bing starter Francisco Liriano, who was
signed as a free agent in the offseason.
Gwinnett Braves
The RailRiders and Braves finish off a
series in the suburb of Atlanta this after-
noon and the G-Braves travel to Moosic
a week later for four games beginning
Friday.
The Braves best prospect on the
club is left-hander Sean Gilmartin, who
is rated fourth by Baseball America.
Gilmartin has been very good this season
for Gwinnett, but Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
defeated the 22-year-old last week get-
ting to him for three runs in 6 2/3 innings
to deal him his first loss of the season.
Jordan Parraz, who used to call PNC
Field home while playing for the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, returns to the
site with Gwinnett after manning the
SWB outfield in 2011. Infielder Luis Nunez,
another former farmhand of the Yankees,
is also on the Braves roster after seeing
time for SWB in 2008, 2009 and 2011.
Gwinnett slugger Ernesto Mejia leads
the I.L. in home runs, beginning the
weekend with eight longballs and 23
RBI. Like many power hitters though, he
also strikes a lot, averaging more than a
strikeout per game.
CRaIN Game
Our weekly look at the work of RailRid-
ers president Rob Crain, who has given
us back our baseball with a side order
of promotions and entertainment.
Have any ideas, or feedback on a
recent promotion, share it with us at
tlsports@timesleader.com.
BEST OF THE WEEK: The team has
been on the road all week, so all signs
point to no best of this week, right?
Wrong! Theres no better promotion than
winning, and thats all the Riders have
done. Six road starts, six road victories.
This franchise has proven its comfort
away from PNC Field, especially with its
successful 2012 campaign during the
renovations in Moosic.
MISSED OPPORTUNITY: Yeah, we
love coming to the ballpark, especially
the shiny new PNC Field we have now
this season. But look at how well this
team does on the road! Maybe the cast
of The Office struggles getting around
(did they really fly commercial?), but the
Riders excel getting to places.
Like other teams ballparks.
Like around the bases and back to
home plate to add another run.
Were expecting to hear that the team
is scrapping its home uniforms and
wearing its road apparel the rest of the
season. The Riders are a whopping 10-2
on the road this season and just 5-9 in
the home unis.
Theyre the same players, so its gotta
be the duds. Right?
COMING UP: With a full week of
games approaching, weve already talked
about Lost Sock Memorial Day on Thurs-
day. But Saturday offers a promotion that
has legs four to be exact.
The game against Gwinnett is Bark
in the Park night, where dogs can bring
their owners to the game. The first 500
dogs get a dog bowl and get to make
their owners carry it around for them
the ultimate in role reversal.
The way the Riders have been playing,
dont expect a dog of a game.

Rob Crain, left, and Jeremy Ruby share a laugh during a press conference
announceing new management for the then-Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
last July.
The building is kinda my baby, so I want it to be the great-
est experience for every night for anyone walking in here.
Every night, theres first-time individuals coming through
the ballpark so I want them to see and view it in perfect con-
dition. Its just my mentality. Its just the way we think and
act around here. Its a professional facility with professional
individuals running it so its important for us to keep a good
product.

Yankees get past As
NEW YORK Phil Hughes
pitched eight shutout innings
of four-hit ball for his rst win
of the season, and the New York
Yankees beat the Oakland Ath-
letics 4-2 on Saturday.
Chris Stewart and Lyle Over-
bay homered against Bartolo
Colon, sending the As to their
only loss in the right-handers
six starts this year. Hughes (1-2)
struck out nine and outpitched
his former New York teammate
for his rst victory since Sept.
20 against Toronto.
Travis Hafner and Brett Gard-
ner each had an RBI single for
the Yankees, who bounced back
from a 2-0 loss to A.J. Grifn in
the series opener Friday night
and improved to 7-2 on their 10-
game homestand.
Orioles 5, Angels 4, 10 inn.
ANAHEIM, Calif. Steve
Pearces RBI single with two
outs in the 10th inning lifted the
Baltimore Orioles to a victory.
Baltimore also got homers

dy and Nolan Reimold.
Garrett Richards (1-3) mak-
ing his rst relief appearance
after ve starts in place of the
injured Jered Weaver, gave up a
leadoff single through the box by

ciding run.

started for the rst time since
opening day by beating the
Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 Saturday.

ers for the Pirates.
Marlins 2, Phillies 0
PHILADELPHIA Jose Fer-
nandez pitched one-hit ball and
struck out nine in seven domi-

Marlins over the Philadelphia
Phillies for his rst win in the
majors.
Marcell Ozuna hit his rst
career homer and Chris Valaika
connected for the rst time in
three years to stop Cole Hamels.
The 20-year-old Fernandez (1-

dy Galvis up the middle in the
rst. He then retired the next 17
batters.
Fernandez walked Galvis in
the seventh, and followed that
up by striking out Chase Ut-
ley, Ryan Howard and Delmon

Fernandez was lifted after
throwing 82 pitches. Mike Dunn
pitched a perfect eighth and
Steve Cishek nished off the
one-hitter to get his fourth save
in ve tries.
Reds 6, Cubs 4
CHICAGO Todd Frazier
and Devin Mesoraco each had a
sacrice y in Cincinnatis four-
run eighth inning, and the Reds
rallied.
Cincinnati had just one hit in
the decisive rally, but took ad-
vantage of another woeful out-
ing by reliever Carlos Marmol
to secure its rst winning road
series of the season. The Reds
held on for a 6-5 victory in the
opener on Friday when Darwin
Barney struck out with the bas-
es loaded to end the game.

But it created a gloppy sur-
face, although didnt seem to
bother Orb who had never
previously run on a wet track.
His triumph was a victory
for the old school of racing,
where a private trainer like
McGaughey works exclusive-
ly for wealthy owners, in this
case Stuart Janney and Ogden
Mills Dinny Phipps.
The first cousins, among
the sports blue bloods that
include the old-money Whit-
ney and Vanderbilt families,
also got their first gold Derby
trophy.
Golden Soul was second.
Revolutionary, one of trainer
Todd Pletchers five starters,
was third. Normandy Invasion
finished fourth.
Orb paid $12.80, $7.40 and
$5.40. Golden Soul returned
$38.60 and $19.40, while Rev-
olutionary paid $5.40 to show.
History was denied on sev-
eral fronts:
Todd Pletchers Derby
record fell to 1 for 36 after
sending out a record-tying five
horses for the second time in
his career. Besides Revolu-
tionary, Charming Kitten was
ninth; Overanalyze was 11th;
early pacesetter Palace Malice
was 12th; and previously un-
beaten Verrazano was 14th.
Rosie Napravniks bid to
become the first woman jock-
ey to win ended with a fifth-
place finish aboard Mylute. It
was still the highest finish by
a woman rider, bettering her
ninth-place showing two years
ago.
Kevin Krigger failed in
his attempt to be the first
black jockey to win since
1902. He rode Goldencents to
a 17th-place finish for trainer
Doug ONeill, who won last
year with Ill Have Another.
Rick Pitino owns 5 percent of
the colt, who couldnt deliver
a horses/hoops double for the
coach of the national champi-
on Louisville basketball team.
D. Wayne Lukas missed
out on becoming the old-
est trainer to win at 77. He
saddled two horses: Oxbow
was sixth with 50-year-old
Gary Stevens making a Derby
comeback after seven years
in retirement, and Will Take
Charge was eighth.
Being from Lexington, the
heart of Kentuckys horse
country, McGaughey figured
to be a regular Derby partici-
pant. But Orb was just his sec-
ond starter since 1989, when
McGaughey watched Easy
Goer lose to Sunday Silence.
Orb also was the second
Derby starter for both Janney
and Phipps, whose previous
entries were in 1988 and 89.
Their family wealth allows
them to race the horses they
breed, unlike the majority of
current owners who are in-
volved through partnerships
that split up the exorbitant
costs of the sport.
The cousins grandfather,
Henry Phipps, founded wealth
management firm Bessemer
Trust in 1907. Janney serves
as chairman, while Dinny
Phipps is its director. He
also chairs The Jockey Club,
the sports governing body
that registers thoroughbreds,
while Janney is vice chairman.

intently, others talking casually, mak-
ing the place feel like a holiday picnic.
The only thing missing was Kentucky
bluegrass.
Its great to emulate Churchill
Downs, said Holy Redeemer volleyball
coach Jack Kablick, caught up by the
mystique and enthusiasm of the day. We
come up here once a year - for the Derby.
Its like the World Series of horse racing,
the Super Bowl of horse racing.
I think its fantastic.
Danielle Yedloski thought it would be
a good time.
The Hanover Township woman came
to her first Derby Day at Pocono Downs
wearing an oversized sun hat - and trying
to win a prize Pocono Downs was award-
ing for the wildest one.
I like it. Its fun, Yedloski said. The
interaction is great. A lot of great people,
a lot of great hats. Everybody comes
in with their own kind of funky hat - or
you can buy them - to see if you can win
a prize. Were kind of trying to be like
were at the Kentucky Derby.
For many, it didnt really matter
whether or not their favorite horse won.
It was more the atmosphere - both
inside and outside Pocono Downs - that
made the day special.
I think its the weather, the end of
winter, said race fan Jim Kealy said
moments before the start of a Kentucky
Derby captured by a horse named Orb.
Everyones feeling good. Everyone will
bet a horse. Theres a lot of anticipation,
you could feel it going out of the room.
That combination of gambling action
and interaction makes the Kentucky
Derby a super-special event at off-track
betting venues across the country.
Everybody knows about the Kentucky
Derby, whether youre a racing fan or
not, said Dale Rapson, the vice presi-
dent of racing at Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs. Plus, you have the Hat Event.
Its like a social event, where everybody
really gets involved. The women know
the horses before they even get here.
Last year, we set a record (for atten-
dance). I think were at at least that
much, maybe even ahead of last year.
Of course, Pocono Downs punctuated
the day with a full day-and-night card of
racing, including the Van Rose Memorial
Race - named for the late Times Leader
horse racing writer and handicapper -
held Saturday night.
But to even the most grizzled race
fans, the day was less about hitting it big
at the wagering stations and more about
having a good time.
We come every year to the Kentucky
Derby (Day), we dont miss it, said Pa-
tricia DiGennari, a regular at the Pocono
Downs track. Dont forget, its (known)
world-wide. Its on TV. And it draws
everybody.

Pocono Downs.

KENTUCKY DERBY
Crowds brave rain and security lines for race
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Rain and
extra security measures slowed
down the crowds at Saturdays
Kentucky Derby, but thousands
of poncho-covered racing fans
filled Churchill Downs despite
the odds.
Fans were unfazed as Ken-
tucky National Guardsmen
searched bags and passed metal-
detecting wands over race-goers
in Louisville. The tightened se-
curity imposed in response to
the Boston Marathon bombings
was similar to actions taken after
9/11.
Its expected. Its all good,
said Curt Pederson of Seattle.
In 2009, the track relaxed
some policies, but most of the
measures were reinstated this
year, including a ban on cool-
ers. Fans this year could pur-
chase disposable coolers inside
Churchill Downs, complete with
ice.
Among other things, the track
banned backpacks, large purses
and cameras with removable
lenses. And despite a forecast for
rain all day, umbrellas, as always,
were not allowed.
For the real troopers, Derby
fans, you got to stick it out. It
aint nothing but another day,
said Lanny Westfall, 37, of Lou-
isville, who said hed been com-
ing to Derby for 30-something
years.
He had claimed a spot on the
backside rail at 6 a.m. with his
friend Joan Lynchard of Hot
Springs, Ark.
The two held a patch of grass
with about 20 camping chairs
and a four-burner gas grill ready
for burgers, brats and pork loin.
I remember coming out here
with a bucket of KFC and my sis-
ter bringing a blanket, Westfall
said.
That was when I was knee-
high. This is my Dads Christmas
pretty much, Derby day.
Churchill Downs said the fi-
nal attendance Saturday was
151,616.
Rather than worrying about
security, fans were talking bet-
ting strategies, which vary as
wildly as the colorful hats at the
Run for the Roses.
Some fans plan out their wa-
gers days in advance, poring
over statistics and previous rac-
es. Many others fly by the seat
of their pants, choosing an inter-
esting looking horse or colorful
jockey silks.
I love cats, said Shelly Dozi-
er-McKee of Atlanta, who decid-
ed to bet on Charming Kitten.
It was her first trip to Churchill
Downs, and Friday night at a
party in Louisville, Dozier-McK-
ee said she received some bet-
ting tips from former University
of Louisville mens basketball
coach Denny Crum.
She said Crum, who won two
NCAA basketball champion-
ships, showed her how to bet
exactas and trifectas.
I got some good insider
tips from him, Dozier-McKee
said from under a black, wide-
brimmed hat adorned with a
feather.
Rebecca Thorpes mother told
her to always bet on a gray horse.
She says the gray horse al-
ways finishes in the top three,
said Thorpe, who traveled to

Revelers party in the infield mud at Churchill Downs Saturday in
Louisville, Ky. Today is the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Trainer
Doug ONeill came up short in
his bid to defend his Kentucky
Derby title.
ONeill, who won in 2012
with Ill Have Another, ended up
with Goldencents finishing 17th
in a 19-horse field on Saturday.
The run by Goldencents also
ended Kevin Kriggers hope
of becoming the first African-
American jockey to win the race
in more than a century.
Krigger said Goldencents
didnt have the kick to keep up
with a quick field on a sloppy
track.
It just wasnt our race, Krig-
ger said.
Krigger finished one spot be-
hind countryman Victor Lebron
aboard Frac Daddy. They were
the first two jockeys from the
U.S. Virgin Islands to ride in the
Derby.
Louisville mens basket-
ball coach Rick Pitino, a part
owner of Goldencents, appeared
confident of keeping a winning
streak alive when he stood in
the paddock before the race.
But his hopes for another
big win ended a month after
the Cardinals won the NCAA
championship
LUKAS AND STEVENS:
Hall of Fame Jockey Gary
Stevens came out of retirement
this year and rode 30-1 longshot
Oxbow to a sixth-place finish.
Stevens is a three-time Derby
winner. The 50-year-old jockey is
four months into a comeback af-
ter being retired for seven years.
Trainer D. Wayne Lukass Will
Take Charge had an eighth-place
finish in the Derby. Lukas has
won the Derby four times. If Lu-
kas had come out victorious, he
would have become the oldest
trainer to saddle a winner.
MYLUTES RUN: Jockey
Rosie Napravnik was trying to
become the first female jockey
to win the Kentucky Derby, but
ended up fifth aboard Mylute.
However, Napravnik wasnt
disappointed. Instead, she saw a
solid race by her horse.
He really did everything very
well. We were right with Orb
the entire way, Napravnik said.
We followed him around into
the final turn. I was really hop-
ing to be third.
Napravnik said Mylute has a
solid future.
Hes just a very talented
horse. Hes going to improve off
of this, Napravnik said.
PLETCHERS DAY: Despite
being one of the biggest names
in horse racing, Todd Pletcher
has struggled at the Derby.
Pletcher is 1 for 36 with
mounts in the Run to the Roses,
with Revolutionary coming
in third for his best finish on
Saturday.
Even though he saddled up
a record-tying five horses, the
rest of Pletchers group finished
between ninth and 13th place.
Jockey Calvin Borel rode
Revolutionary and came from
nearly last in the field by riding
along the rail to capture the
third spot in the closing stretch.
I still thought Id get
through, Borel said.
RAINY DAY: After a day
of steady rain, the showers
stopped just before the call to
the post. The reprieve wasnt
enough to help the track at
Churchill Downs.
The course was graded as
sloppy. Only eight of the 19
Derby runners had run on a dirt
track rated worse than fast.
The National Weather Service
in Louisville reported 0.20
inches of rain as of race time.

A youth fishing derby was held
Saturday at Frances Slocum State
Park. At top, 10-year-old Jacob
Thomas, of Dallas, focuses on his
cast. At right, Conner Kubiski,

Sands, 10, of Pringle, checks out a
blue gill he caught.
approach and strengthened his
will, transforming him into an
elite player at the Division III
level.
Sweeney was selected as a
Ripken League All-Star when he
went back for a second season
in Maryland last summer. He
set Kings College records with
a career .409 batting average, 39
home runs, 59 doubles, 139 RBI,
163 runs and a .777 slugging per-
centage.
And at the end of a spectacu-
lar senior season, Sweeney was
named the Freedom Conference
Player of the Year on Thursday.
Its up there, Sweeney said,
ranking the honor on his list
of baseball achievements. Its
something I wanted. I know how
hard I worked for it.
But before he could really suc-
ceed, he had to fail.
That one summer of struggle
in the Ripken League, Sweeney
said, taught him how to handle
difficulty and accept challenges
better than he had in the past.
Absolutely, said Sweeney,
a 21-year-old outfielder who
played for Crestwood High
School and Mountain Top Amer-
ican Legion during his forma-
tive years. The first year down
there, that season was the most
Ive matured in baseball, ever. I
went down there, I didnt handle
it the right way. In baseball,
youve got to know how to deal
with failure. That season taught
me how. Youre going to fail a lot
more than you succeed.
If youre not going to deal
with the failure, youre not going
to make it.
In his grand finale, Sweeney
made it a season to remember.
He carried a batting average
over .500 for most of the season,
before finishing at .496 to rank
first nationally among NCAA Di-
vision III players.
Its tough to keep your aver-
age above .500 for a whole year,
Sweeney said. Im surprised I
took it as long as I did.
His ,942 slugging percentage
also led the nation this season,
and the 22-game hitting streak
Sweeney put together set a
school record. He finished with
10 homers, 16 doubles, four tri-
ples and 41 RBI, and scored 44
runs in 32 games.
The powers been there since
my sophomore year, Sweeney
said. Last year, I kind of im-
proved my average a little bit.
This year, I put them all togeth-
er. Different aspects of my game
started developing every year.
His development took off after
Sweeney left Crestwood, where
he was a pretty good outfielder
- but hardly seemed destined for
greatness.
He credits first-year Kings hit-
ting instructor Jeff Distasio - a
former Nanticoke and Georgia
Tech star - with simplifying his
approach at the plate.
When I first saw Chris, I just
knew he had a ton of potential,
Distasio said. I also saw a kid
whos willing to work very, very
hard to get better.
Shortening things up, Dista-
sio said was the main thing they
worked on. Short stride, keep-
ing his hands back. Once he got
those down, his ability just took
over. And he did a lot of great
things.
It turned into the season of
greatness Sweeney had been
striving for.
Just wanting it, Sweeney
said was his secret. I reached a
certain point where I didnt want
to be just another player on the
field. I worked very hard, put a
lot of hours in in the cage.
The son of Chris and Yvonne
Sweeney of Mountain Top may
not be finished yet.
Hes hoping to hear his name
called in the June amateur
Baseball Draft. And if hes not
chosen, Sweeney plans to play
in the Carolina-Virginia College
Baseball League - which allows
recently-graduated college se-
niors - during this summer.
This season was a big help -
it gives me a little more help on
paper, said Sweeney, who will
earn a degree in mass commu-
nications as part of the upcom-
ing graduating class at Kings,
but turned down a job offer to
pursue his dream of playing
professional baseball. You only
get one shot to have a chance at
something like this.
Distasio believes Sweeney has
a pretty good shot at attracting
someones interest at the next
level.
Ive been fortunate enough
to play with and against players
who played at that level, Dista-
sio said. Hes got all the tools.
Hes still growing, still getting
stronger. I think when he gets a
wooden bat in his hands, hes go-
ing to be even better. I definitely
think he can play at the next
level.
If he doesnt, it wont be for
lack of effort with him.
As always, Sweeneys effort to
stay in the game will be all-out.
If that doesnt work out, he
said, its been a good run.
SWEENEY
for his first career playoff shutout
for the Capitals and has stopped
59 of 60 shots in the series.
Game 3 is Monday in New
York.
Green got his chance because
the Capitals power play the
best in the NHL during the regu-
lar season finally returned to
the ice thanks to the rule that
sends a player to the box when
he shoots or bats the puck di-
rectly over the glass while in his
defensive zone.
The Rangers had done a bet-
ter job staying out of the box
after taking too many minors in
Game 1, but the officials had no
choice when defenseman Ryan
McDonagh clearly committed
the error 7:09 into overtime.
Just got a little too under it,
McDonagh said.
On only their second man-ad-
vantage of the game and first
since the first period Green
nailed a one-timer from high
in the slot on a feed from Mike
Ribeiro precisely at the eight-
minute mark of the extra period.
Contrast that with the New
York power play that started 1:51
into overtime, after Steve Oleksy
was whistled for the over-the-
glass miscue. The Rangers failed
to get a shot on goal during their
two minutes of 5-on-4 or at
any point in the extra period.
It comes down to: They
score on their power play and
we dont, Rangers captain Ryan
Callahan said.
CAPITALS
to each other.
Some guys left, of course.
No one was forcing them to
stay. But the guys that stayed
I feel like whoever came
here in our class is a tight-knit,
real close group. Because there
was a lot we had to face.
That would be an under-
statement.
The school they picked was
plunged into a horrific child
abuse scandal. Their coach
was fired three months before
national signing day. And a
month after they arrived on
campus, the program was hit
with unprecedented sanctions
that would keep them out of
bowl games, prevent them
from playing for titles and limit
the talent around them.
Throw all of that on top of
the typical turmoil that builds
up in the life of a college fresh-
man. And because of the sanc-
tions, any of them have been
free to transfer without penalty
since last July.
Many contemplated it.
Overall, I was asked the
question, If you were not to
play football, would you still go
to that school? said tailback
Akeel Lynch, who mulled a late
decision between Penn State
and Iowa last summer. And
to be honest, I could not leave
Penn State. The academics and
the atmosphere I just love
this place.
Understandably, not every-
one stayed.
Nineteen players initially
signed with the Lions in 2012
18 on signing day in Febru-
ary plus tight end Jesse James,
who graduated high school
early and enrolled that January.
That number is down to 16
after one year. Defensive line-
man Jamil Pollard transferred
to Rutgers last summer for fam-
ily reasons. Quarterback Ste-
ven Bench finished the spring
behind Tyler Ferguson in the
starting quarterback battle and
will pick a new school in the
next month. Offensive lineman
Anthony Stanko has opted to
leave the team but remain en-
rolled at Penn State.
Of the remaining 16, five ap-
peared in a game last season
Wartman, James, Trevor
Williams, DaQuan Davis and
Jordan Lucas. Wartman, how-
ever, did not lose a year of eli-
gibility because a knee injury
allowed him to get a medical
exception.
Now entering the second
year, the Class of 2012 has a
chance to make a bigger im-
pact on the field.
Wartman has an inside track
to start at linebacker.
The year for him to kind
of soak as a redshirt freshman
was good for him, defensive
coordinator John Butler said.
And now that hes getting into
the fire at that position, hes a
good player whos going to con-
tinue to get better.
Lewis talent, in part, al-
lowed the coaches to shift
classmates Williams and Ma-
lik Golden from the receiving
corps to the secondary.
I think (my redshirt year)
helped a lot, Lewis said after
making his public Penn State
debut at the Blue-White Game.
At first I wasnt expecting to
be redshirted, but I realized
that I had a lot that I needed to
work on. And at the end of the
day I knew it was going to help
me.
James was already one of the
Lions most dangerous weap-
ons as a true freshman. Aus-
tin Johnson has drawn praise
at defensive tackle, where he
could conceivably start in the
fall. Lynch will work into the
mix in the backfield and could
develop into the teams most
well-rounded ball-carrier. Tight
end Brent Wilkerson caught a
touchdown at the Blue-White
Game.
DT Derek Dowrey, DT Brian
Gaia, DB Jake Kiley, C Wendy
Laurent, DB Jordan Lucas, DE
Evan Schwan and WRJonathan
Warner round out the class.
Many of them got their op-
portunity when the new coach-
ing staff led by Bill OBrien
came aboard last January. Penn
State had six high-profile ver-
bal commitments ultimately
sign elsewhere, with the likes
of Ohio State and Florida, be-
cause of the fallout from the
Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Bench, Davis, Laurent, Lu-
cas, Lynch, Schwan, Warner
and Williams all committed to
OBriens staff in the month be-
fore signing day.
Those that had originally
pledged to Joe Paternos staff,
like Lewis and Wartman, had
to visit the campus again and
ultimately choose Penn State a
second time.
The whole experience has
left a chip on their collective
shoulder.
We all know theres a lot of
pressure on this class because
supposedly were a so-called
weak class (after the sanc-
tions) for Penn States stan-
dards, Wartman said. So
we all know weve got a lot to
prove.
When the entire class ar-
rived last summer, they began
to bond. It continued when
the season rolled around, as
the guys who were in line for a
redshirt became closer through
their work on the scout team.
Oh yeah, it was real quick,
Lynch said. Me, Eugene,
Brent Wilkerson. We just said,
Hey, whos gonna do this?
Whos gonna make the play
this week? Each week there
was a scout player of the week,
and wed compete each week. It
was real fun.
Now they get some time off
with friends and family before
summer classes start and work
for next season begins.
They will do so with the
knowledge that they still have
an added burden to carry as
members of the Lions last full
recruiting class until 2017.
We knew there was going
to be adversity, Wartman said.
We knew that people were go-
ing to talk about us. But were
sticking close together. Were
just trying to keep that family
feel around here.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. Phil
Mickelson and Nick Watney
wound up tied for the lead Sat-
urday in the Wells Fargo Cham-
pionship, minus the separation
from the rest of the field.
Mickelson hit a shot out-of-
bounds on the 15th hole and
hit another shot that struck a
spectator in the head, costing
him three shots over the last
four holes at Quail Hollowin his
round of 1-over 73. Watney hit a
semi-shank with a 6-iron on the
par-3 17th, took double bogey
and had to settle for a 71.
It felt like a small consolation
that they were tied at 8-under
208, one shot ahead of George
McNeill, who had his share of
trouble down the stretch for a
72.
Instead of pulling away from
the pack, their mistakes in a
wild final hour allowed a dozen
players to get within three shots
of the lead.
One of them was Rory Mc-
Ilroy, who shot 73 and missed
seven putts from the 5-foot
range or closer, which was no
way to celebrate his 24th birth-
day. McIlroy ranked 82nd out of
the 83 players who made the 36-
hole cut in the key putting sta-
tistic, yet he still goes into the
final round with a good chance
for his first win of the year.

Two-time champion Cristie

Kerr, the only two-time win-
ner at the River Course, made
six birdies to reach 10-under
203. She took command on a
day when seven players shared
the lead at one point or another.
Lewis shot a 69, and Petters-
en, the 2007 champion, had a
68. Angela Stanford was three
strokes back after a 70, and Il-
hee Lee was fifth at 6 under af-
ter an all-over-the-place 69.
Ariya Jutanugarn, the 17-year-
old Thai player who led after
each of the first two rounds, had
three bogeys and a birdie on
her first four holes and fought a
balky putter for a 73 that left her
five shots back, where she was
tied with Lizette Salas, whose
bogey-free 65 was the best
round of the day.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas
Gene Sauers chipped in for
birdie on the par-4 17th a day

Sauers hit into the water on
the 17th hole Friday, but atoned
for the mistake Saturday with a
25-yard chip.
The 50-year-old Sauers, a

rain Saturday washed out quali-

Ambrose.
They ran a spirited Friday first
practice session because every-
one had seen the weather radar
and knew the laps might count
if qualifying was cancelled.
It was like a heat race out
there, said Edwards. Every-
body was trying to get their
fastest lap, and we got ours with
like a minute to go. It was pretty
exciting.
Ambrose concurred.
We were all driving like idi-
ots in that first practice knowing
it was probably going to rain,
he said.
Joey Logano will start fourth,
followed by Ryan Newman and
Matt Kenseth.
Denny Hamlin will be seventh
in his first race since missing
four with a compression frac-
ture in a vertebra in his lower

ing lineup.
Hamlin is planning to start
the race but get out of his car at
some point and let Brian Vickers
take over for him. The two prac-
ticed the driver exchange on
Friday, with Hamlin getting out
of the car through a roof hatch
and Vickers coming in through
a window.
They had the exchange down
to just over a minute, which they
determined would keep the car

Wyoming
staffers aid
Colorado
journalist
By ZACK CREGLOW
Casper (Wyo.) Star-Tribune
LARAMIE, Wyo. Natalie
Meisler wasnt making any
sense.
The veteran journalist was
talking on the phone with
Tim Harkins, the head of me-
dia relations for University of
Wyoming athletics. They had
chatted for several minutes
before Meisler, who was pen-
ning a Mountain West football
preview for Lindys Magazine,
asked him to hold.
When Meisler returned,
Harkins couldnt understand
her. He thought the phone con-
nection was shoddy.
Natalie, I amhaving trouble
hearing you, Harkins told her.
But it wasnt the phone. It
was Meisler.
She was making sound,
Harkins said, but she couldnt
formany words. After a minute
or so, it kind of struck me what
was happening.
Harkins had heard this be-
fore. When he was home one
summer during his college
years, his father, Hal, suffered
a stroke in the middle of the
night.
His instincts may have saved
Meislers life.
Harkins stormed over to
the office of Amy Dambro, an-
other media relations staffer at
Wyoming. He started pointing
furiously at her computer I
was just like, What are we do-
ing!? Dambro said before
the words escaped his mouth.
They needed to find
Meislers address and get her
help. And fast. Laramie is
about 100 miles from Boulder.
Only, they didnt have
Meislers Boulder, Colo., home
address on hand. But they
knew of someone who might.
Dambro dialed up Colorado
State University senior asso-
ciate athletic director Gary
Ozzello. He had an extensive
history with Meisler, a former
sportswriter with the Denver
Post.
Ozzello called Dambro back
with Meislers address and she
phoned the Boulder Police
Department. Harkins told the
dispatcher of his hunch, while
Dambro tried to communicate
with Meisler on his cellphone.
Dambro was still on Harkins
phone when emergency crews
arrived. When they knocked
on the door, Dambro heard the
thumps that confirmed they
had found the right house.
One of the responders found
Meislers cellphone and hung
it up. Neither Harkins nor
Dambro can recall how long
the crisis lasted, only that the
call to Meisler was made at
11:15 a.m. Wednesday.
What was a long time,
Dambro said, didnt feel like a
long time.
Later Wednesday, Har-
kins heard that Meisler was
improved in the ICU. Yahoo
Sports!, which first reported
the story, wrote that doctors
had found a blood clot, which
was the source of the stroke.
Student
shooting
to cross
country
By DAN McFEELY
The Indianapolis Star
FISHERS, Ind. Luke
Bielawski loves to launch tee
shots deep onto the green grass
of the fairways, avoiding traps to
the left and right.
But on Tuesday, he plans
to tee off from the sand trap
beaches of the Pacific Ocean,
aiming east toward the Atlantic,
where 110 days and nine states
later he expects to pitch his final
shot into the sea.
Bielawski, a 24-year-old law
school student fromFishers, has
decided to spend his summer
whacking golf balls from coast-
to-coast, raising awareness and
donations to benefit students at
the Providence Cristo Rey High
School in Indianapolis.
I was just searching for a
way to have a positive impact
on the lives of young people,
Bielawski told The Indianapolis
Star. And one day last October,
I was sitting in my basement
watching Forrest Gump, and
it just hit. Why not golf across
America?
Bielawski, who is calling his
journey From Tee to Shining
Tee, hopes to raise $100,000
to fund a dozen scholarships to
the small Catholic school that
caters to underprivileged kids.
Bielawskis 2,500-mile jour-
ney will mostly take place along
paved, two-lane country roads
and remote highways from Ven-
tura, Calif., to Kiawah Island,
S.C. But there will be many
cities and towns where he will
putt his way through congested
areas.
Before its all over, the self-
professed golf nut will swing the
club about 48,000 times, whack-
ing at about 3,600 golf balls
most of which he expects to
lose along the way to the sands
of the desert, the fenced ranches
of Texas or the wet marshes of
Mississippi.
Driving a donated John Deere
Gator from Reynolds Farm
Equipment in Fishers, Bielawski
will tee off daily at sunrise,
move at a 19-minute-per-mile
pace, and swing until sunset.
When we get into the heat of
the Southwest, we will probably
take a break, he said.
Joined by cousin Nick
Bielawski, who will drive a
separate truck and camper, he
plans to sleep in church park-
ing lots as they make their way
from California to Arizona, New
Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, Alabama, Georgia and,
finally, South Carolina.
Along the way, he hopes to
drum up publicity for Provi-
dence Cristo Rey, which nation-
ally runs 25 schools with about
6,500 students.
Traditionally, people who
provide support for our mission
are executives of corporations,
leaders of foundations or indi-
viduals who are in a financial po-
sition to do so, said Joe Heidt,
president of Providence Cristo
Rey in Indianapolis. Someone
in grad school is usually not one
of those who can provide such
a generous donation. For Luke
to use one of his passions, golf,
to devise such a plan, its just a
wonderful idea.
Wonderful, perhaps. But there
will be hazards along the way.
Not only will Bielawski keep
his eyes peeled for rattlesnakes,
wild boar, alligators and other
creatures, he will also be drift-
ing very near the U.S.-Mexican
border in parts of Arizona and
New Mexico.
And the parents have taken
note.
As you might imagine, my
wife is incredibly concerned,
said Joe Bielawski, Lukes fa-
ther. Luke has been very sen-
sitive to our concerns and took
the initiative to contact border
agents, town marshals and state
police posts all along his chosen
path.
When Bielawski first told his
parents, they thought it was a
crazy idea. Ten months later,
they still do.
Of course it remains a crazy
idea, said Joe Bielawski, who
cant fathom a kid giving up his
final summer of sleeping in and
playing real golf at a real golf
course in order to do this.
But his idea to raise money
in order to help others is an in-
credibly powerful purpose. He
will meet people and, God will-
ing, experience America like
very few people do.
Bielawski has set up a web-
site where people can follow
his progress. He plans to keep
a blog and provide updates on
Twitter and Facebook.
The website www.ge-
tonthegreen.org is also where
people can click to donate
toward the goal of raising
$100,000.
About 90 percent of the 140
students at Indys Providence
Cristo Rey this year are living
in poverty. The schools mis-
sion is to help these kids receive
a quality college- preparatory
education while also introduc-
ing them to a corporate work-
study program in which they
spend time working profession-
al, entry-level jobs while still in
school.
Heidt said the program is
working each of the 17 grad-
uating students next month has
been accepted to college and
getting more popular as enroll-
ment is expected to grow to 200
next year.
Bielawski has no direct con-
nection to Providence Cristo
Rey, other than the fact he is
Catholic. He graduated from
Cathedral High School, where
he says students are instilled
with the charge of working for
social justice.
Look, I live in this commu-
nity, and I plan to stay here and
hopefully raise a family here,
he said. When I went to see
the school, the work-study pro-
grams they have and seeing the
energy they have in the build-
ing, its just the coolest thing.
They have so much energy
and excitement. And I think this
project is going to pay off for
them and for the community.
To prepare for the potentially
grueling journey, Bielawski said
he has been swinging his club
500 times a day in his garage.
He feels ready. He has packed
clothes, shoes, the golf balls and
about 85 donated irons (just in
case he breaks a few along the
way).
And Im also bringing my
own set of clubs as well. Just in
case we find a good golf course
to play along the way.
Yeah, Im a little obsessed.

Just days after Brittney Griner came out as a lesbian, sportswear company Nike Inc. announced a
deal with Griner, the WNBAs No. 1 draft pick.
CHICAGO Youve probably
never heard of Holly Peterson or
Jonathan Jean-Pierre. One came
out as a lesbian at age 15, when
she was playing high school bas-
ketball. The other, a college row-
er, told his teammates last year
that hes gay.
There was little fanfare for ei-
ther. There were no headlines as
there were this past week when
NBA player Jason Collins de-
clared that he is gay, making him
the first in a major U.S. mens
professional sport to come out.
Some are calling Collins a role
model for this up-and-coming
generation of gay and lesbian
athletes. But in some ways,
those young athletes and their
supporters also have helped pave
the way for pros like Collins.
Change is coming from the
top down, but its also coming
from the bottom up, says Ellen
Staurowsky, a professor of sport
management at Drexel Univer-
sity in Philadelphia.
It is a movement thats taken
place quietly, she adds, on
teams, in athletic departments
with some coaches and athletes
standing up when they needed
to Its an accumulated move-
ment over many, many decades.
Awareness of homosexual-
ity in athletics started to grow,
slowly, Staurowsky says, in the
1970s on college campuses.
Then in the early 1980s, tennis
star Billie Jean King was outed,
and Martina Navratilova also
came out as a lesbian.
As a small number of high-pro-
file athletes followed suit in years
to come, Gene Smith, the athletic
director at Ohio State University,
says he and others began to no-
tice a shift in momentum on col-
lege campuses by the mid-1990s.
More young athletes were feel-
ing empowered to be open about
their sexuality, he says, and the
trend has only grown.
I think it was easier on cer-
tain teams, and it kind of evolved
over time, says Smith, who was
the athletic director at Eastern
Michigan University and Iowa
State University before going to
Ohio State.
For some, like Holly Peterson,
an athlete who grew up outside
Sacramento, Calif., coming out
happened even earlier in life.
She made the decision to tell
her family and friends that shes
a lesbian 14 years ago, when she
was a sophomore in high school.
I was ready, says Peterson,
whos now 29. I needed to tell
someone.
Her team and coach respond-
ed well, she says, though her
parents removed her from her
traveling basketball team and,
instead, used the money theyd
spent on that for therapy.
Eventually, though, her par-
ents came to terms with her sex-
ual orientation and she went
on to play college basketball at
the University of California, Riv-
erside, where she also lived her
life openly.
While there, she recalls speak-
ing on a panel with other gay
and lesbian athletes and how
other women athletes on her
campus told her that shed given
them the courage to come out,
too.
That was huge for me, says
Peterson, who now plays wom-
ens professional tackle football.
That was really the first step in
my looking at myself as a role
model and someone who could
make a difference.
Several campuses among
them Princeton, the University
of Michigan and the University
of California, Berkeley now
have groups for gay and lesbian
athletes.
There are groups, too, for
straight allies, including Athlete
Ally, an organization for straight
athletes who publicly back their
lesbian and gay peers.
The website for another orga-
nization, the You Can Play Proj-
ect, includes videos of support
from athletic directors, coaches
and athletes from colleges and
universities across the country.
If you can play, you can play,
is the tagline repeated over and
over in those videos.
If you come out, you also
might get an endorsement deal.
Just days after Brittney Griner
came out as a lesbian, sports-
wear company Nike Inc. an-
nounced a deal with Griner, the
WNBAs No. 1 draft pick wholl
soon graduate from Baylor Uni-
versity.
Not that its always easy for
gay and lesbian athletes.
Jonathan Jean-Pierre, a mem-
ber of the rowing team at Lehigh
University in Pennsylvania, says
his teammates have never given
him any trouble about being gay.
But sometimes I still feel like
I have to work twice as hard to
prove myself, says the 19-year-
old athlete, who plans to discuss
these and other issues as a par-
ticipant of a summit for gay and
lesbian athletes that Nike will
host next month for the athletes,
coaches and college athletic di-
rectors.
While more gay and lesbian
athletes are coming out, Smith
at Ohio State also notes that
his school remains among those
where a gay athlete has yet to
come out on the football, mens
basketball, hockey or wrestling
teams.
That, he and others say, is
where pro athletes like Collins
may have particular influence,
especially if Collins, who is a
free agent, signs with a team
next season.
There are certainly other
closeted athletes who are look-
ing to Jason Collins to see what
will happen with him, says
Hudson Taylor, a former colle-
giate wrestler who, as a straight
supporter of his gay and lesbian
peers, founded Athlete Ally.
Either way, many includ-
ing skater Johnny Weir, who an-
nounced he was gay after the last
winter Olympics expect that
Collins revelation will have a
positive impact on young gay and
lesbian athletes, partly because so
many people are aware of it.
Imenvious of it, the 28-year-
old Weir says, because there
wasnt as much craze when
he came out. But I do really re-
spect it.
Smith at Ohio State says he,
too, has great respect for the ath-
letes at his school who continue to
come out. He recalls, for instance,
how a member of the universitys
track team named Derrick Ander-
son recently announced that hes
gay at a school forum.
That said, he hopes that, one
day, coming out in such a public
way wont be necessary that
gay and straight athletes and
other students can simply coex-
ist.
Young gay athletes set tone for Collins
Jonathan Jean-Pierre, 19, a
sophomore and rower at Lehigh
University in Bethlehem, came
out as a gay man during his
freshman year and is among
college athletes who have
been invited to attend the Nike
LGBT Sports Summit in June
in Portland, Ore.

AP National Writer
SALT LAKE CITY The
Utah soccer league that saw
one of its referees punched by
a teen player and sent into a
coma plans to play on but
with security present at games
and without the players team,
its president said Friday.
Mario Vasquez, president of
La Liga Continental de Futbol,
said hell hire off-duty police
officers to watch over games,
which will resume this weekend
at a middle school in a Salt Lake
City suburb. The 17-year-olds
team has been expelled from
the league.
The referee, Ricardo Portillo,
46, remains in a coma with his
family praying for a miracle.
The teenager, whose name is
being withheld because he is a
minor, is in juvenile detention
on suspicion of aggravated as-
sault. The charges could be am-
plified if Portillo dies.
Portillos oldest daughter said
Thursday her father had been
attacked before while refereeing
even having his ribs and leg
broken. But Vasquez said those
incidents didnt happen in his
league.
Weve never seen something
like that before, Vasquez said.
We are still in shock. We cant
believe it happened.
The unaffiliated Hispanic soc-
cer league will have to be on its
best behavior moving forward
or risk losing the field it plays
on each Saturday. The school
district that has rented it two
soccer fields at Eisenhower Ju-
nior High School for the past
three years has sent the league
a formal warning.
The letter cites Saturdays as-
sault and previous complaints
that the league didnt clean up
trash and violated the ban on
drinking alcohol and smok-
ing cigarettes. Teachers at the
school say they recently found
water bottles, beer cans, ciga-
rette butts and a dirty diaper on
the field following the games.
In addition, as you know,
Eisenhower was mentioned
in the news as a result of the
players assault on the referee,
wrote Granite School District
director Bryce Holbrook. This
situation only adds more cause
to warn you in the hopes that
your soccer events will be posi-
tive and civil activities.
Vasquez said he created the
youth league in 2009 to give
Latino children in the Salt Lake
City area a place to play soccer,
and for their family and friends
to gather, socialize and have
fun. These types of leagues are
common in major U.S. cities, es-
pecially among Spanish-speak-
ing immigrants who often bar-
becue there and play music in a
de facto celebration of the Latin
American passion for soccer.
But that passion became a
flash of rage last Saturday in
the goalie box at an Eisenhower
field in Taylorsville, a Salt Lake
City suburb about 10 miles
southwest of downtown.
Accounts from Vasquez, Porti-
llos daughter and a police report
released Friday offer a detailed
narrative of what happened.
The teenager was playing
goalie when Ricardo Portillo
issued him a yellow card for
pushing an opposing forward
trying to score a goal. In soccer,
a yellow card is given as a warn-
ing to a player for an egregious
violation of the rules. Two yel-
low cards lead to a red card and
expulsion from the game.
The teenager, quite a bit
heavier than Portillo, began ar-
guing with the referee, then un-
leashed a punch to his face. Por-
tillo seemed fine at first, then
asked to be held because he felt
dizzy. He sat down and started
vomiting blood, triggering his
friend to call an ambulance.
When police arrived around
noon, the teenager was gone
and Portillo was laying on the
ground in the fetal position.
Through translators, Portillo
told EMTs that his face and
back hurt and he felt nauseous.
He had no visible injuries and
remained conscious. He was
considered to be in fair condi-
tion when they took him to the
Intermountain Medical Center.
But when Portillo arrived to
the hospital, he slipped into a
coma with swelling in his brain.
Portillos daughter Johana Por-
tillo called detectives to let
them know his condition had
worsened.
Thats when detectives inten-
sified their search for the goalie.
By Saturday evening, the teen-
agers father agreed to bring
him down to speak with police.
Vasquez said he doesnt know
much about the player, but said
the league has had no problems
with him before.
The league, which has 100
children, is not affiliated with
the popular Utah Youth Soc-
cer Association or any city or
town recreation department.
Utah Youth Soccer Association
CEO Andrew Hiatt has called it
a rogue league, saying there
usually are at least three of
these leagues in the Salt Lake
City area at any given time.
They come and go, he said, due
to a lack of organization.

Mark Cavendish, wearing the pink jersey of leader of the race, celebrates on podium after winning
the opening stage of the Giro dItalia in a sprint in Naples, Italy, on Saturday. Cavendish, who rides
for the Omega Pharma-Quick Step team, finished in 2 hours, 58 minutes, 38 seconds on the circuit
in downtown Naples, which featured a long, flat finishing straight. Cavendish has now won a com-
bined 37 stages at the Giro, Tour and Vuelta cyclings three Grand Tours.
NAPLES, Italy British
standout Mark Cavendish won
the opening stage of the Giro
dItalia that was marred by a
crash shortly before the finish.
The main pack was split into
two groups Saturday when rid-
ers went down with just more
than a mile to go in the 81-mile
leg and less than a dozen riders
left in front to contest the sprint.
Cavendish, who rides for the
Omega Pharma-Quick Step team,
finished in 2 hours, 58 minutes,
38 seconds on the circuit in down-
town Naples, which featured a
long, flat finishing straightaway.
He has won a combined 37 stages
at the Giro, Tour and Vuelta cy-
clings three Grand Tours.
Elia Viviani, an Italian with
Cannondale, was second and
Nacer Bouhanni, a Frenchman
with FDJ, was third.
Overall favorites Bradley Wig-
gins and Vincenzo Nibali, along
with defending champion Ryder
Hesjedal, finished safely in the
main pack. All the riders who
finished in the main pack were
given the same time as the win-
ner courtesy of the neutralizing
rule for crashes in the final miles.
It was the 11th Giro stage win
of Cavendishs career and his
98th victory overall. Hell wear
the overall leaders pink jersey
in Sundays second stage, a team
time trial on the nearby island of
Ischia.
With time bonuses to the top
three finishers, Cavendish took
an eight-second lead on Viviani
in the overall standings.
It will mark the fourth time
Cavendish wears the pink jersey.
He wore it for two days in 2009
when his former team Columbia
won the opening team time trial
and for one day in 2011 after a
stage win.
Ive worn it before at the start
but that was thanks to my team,
Cavendish said. I really wanted
to win this here in Napoli.
Now I want to go for a pizza.
Cavendish didnt have team-
mates helping him in the finish,
but he used the crosswind to
good effect and burst in front just
before the line.
Im lucky I have the speed to
be able to come like that in the
final, he said.
The course featured two mild
climbs in the Posillipo neighbor-
hood and several loops down the
finishing straight alongside the
bay.
On a warm spring day, fans
came out en masse. Some
brought dogs, and one slipped
under a barrier lining the road,
nearly tripping some riders on a
sharp corner.
With the roads narrowin areas
and stretches of cobblestones,
there were several crashes.
Among those who hit the asphalt
early on were Laurent Pichon of
France, Matteo Rabottini of Italy
and Miguel Minguez Ayala of
Spain.
Italians Mattia Gavazzi and
Davide Apollonio, plus Belgian
Klaas Lodewyck, were involved
in the crash near the end that
split the group, although they ap-
peared to escape serious injury.
Circuit races always have
crashes but its nice to have cir-
cuit races for the fans, Caven-
dish said.

James humbled to become 4-time MVP
MIAMI Miami Heat prac-
tice had ended, and LeBron
James lingered under a basket,
fetching free throws for two
teammates as he awaited his
turn to shoot.
At the other end of the gym,
Dwyane Wade shook his head
as he watched the NBAs most
valuable of players engage in the
most mundane of drills.
He doesnt you can see
him rest on his greatness,
Wade said. He continues to
work at it. Thats what makes
him special. He leaves nothing
to chance.
The formal announcement
of James fourth Most Valuable
Player award is planned for to-
day, the eve of the Eastern Con-
ference semifinals for the Heat.
The honor will vault himinto an
elite category shared by Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan,
Bill Russell and Wilt Cham-
berlain, the only other players
to win the award at least four
times.
James said
he was hum-
bled to keep
such company.
Im a his-
torian of the
game, he
said. I know
the game. I know these guys
paved the way for myself and
the rest of us.
James other MVPs came in
2009, 2010 and 2012. He and
Russell are the only players to
win the award four times in five
years, and he and Abdul-Jabbar
are the only players to twice win
the award in consecutive sea-
sons.
At age 28, James isnt resting
on his laurels. Thats why he
kept shooting with teammates
Ray Allen and Mario Chalmers
after practice Saturday, while
the other Heat players had head-
ed for the showers.
I dont know my ceiling,
James said. I dont stop trying
to improve my game just like
today, being in here with Rio
and Ray, the last guys to leave
the court. I want to continue to
maximize what I have.
James said his primary goal
remains helping the Heat win
a second successive NBA title.
Theyre scheduled to open their
conference semifinals series at
home Monday against the win-
ner of the series between Chica-
go and Brooklyn, which went to
Game 7 on Saturday night.
The Heat have been idle since
Sunday, when they completed a
series sweep of Milwaukee. The
most scrutinized subject during
the layoff has been Wades sore
right knee, and while he expects
to play in Game 1, he said hell
likely have to cope with discom-
fort for the rest of the playoffs.
I told the coaches, Dont ask
me how Im doing, Wade said
to a cluster of reporters. The
mind is a powerful thing. Every-
thing is mind over matter. So
when youre dealing with some-
thing, youre dealing it. You un-
derstand what it is.
But when people continue to
pat you on the back and ask you
if youre doing all right and how
you are feeling, you start to feel
like, Well, something is wrong
with me.
Wade smiled at the media
scrum.
So I would like for you all not
to ask me anymore. Thank you.
Injuries to Wade and other
stars around the league this
postseason stand in contrast
to James durability, one of his
most remarkable traits. In a 10-
year career, he has never missed
more than seven games in a
season, suggesting hes likely to
remain a force and an MVP
contender for years to come.
Jordan was 35 the last time
he was chosen MVP, in 1998.
Abdul-Jabbar won for the final
time at 33, Chamberlain and
Russell at 31.
Who wouldnt love to con-
tinue to play at an NBA level in
the mid-30s? James said. We
all would want that. Health is
always the No. 1 thing.

New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony (7) reacts as Boston Celtics center Kevin Garnett
returns to the bench at the end of Game 5 of their first-round NBA basketball playoff series at
Madison Square Garden in New York on Wednesday. The Celtics won 92-86.
Trash talk, bad blood reign in playoffs
Talk is cheap in these NBA
playoffs, and it seems as if ev-
eryone wants in on the act.
As the stakes grewin the first
round, the venombeingspewed
became ever more toxic. Super-
stars are jawing at bench play-
ers. Reserves are picking fights
with superstars. Coaches are
accusing opponents of being
dirty. Even Carmelo Anthonys
wife hasnt been afraid to talk
some serious trash.
Try again, La La Vazquez
tweeted after Celtics reserve
guard Jordan Crawford was
caught on video hurling curse
words toward Anthony at the
end of Game 5 against the
Knicks. You on the bench for
a reason.
Ouch.
Conventional wisdom says
that come the postseason, the
showboating, chest-thumping
and smack talking takes a back-
seat; that players need to focus
too much on the game itself to
have time to worry about get-
ting into verbal battles with
their opponents. But there
has been plenty of playground
swagger infused in the first
round at NBA arenas through-
out these playoffs, and it has
come back to bite the barker
more often than not.
The Knicks put a Madi-
son Avenue spin on Rucker
Park-style boasting when they
showed up to the Garden for
Game 5 against Boston dressed
in all black, planning on attend-
ing the Celtics funeral. All it
did was breathe new life into
a proud, veteran team, and the
Celtics rolled over New York to
force a Game 6.
Well, we was going to a
funeral, but it looks like we
got buried, Knicks guard J.R.
Smith said. Basketball is a
very humbling game.
Crawford was jawing at An-
thony as the two teams headed
to the locker room, with Knicks
point guard Raymond Felton
stepping in and hollering right
back. While the Knicks may
have regretted wearing black
and rebounded to eliminate
the Celtics in Game 6 on Fri-
day night, they werent exactly
apologizing for doing a little
talking. They see trash talk as
something that is as much a
part of the game as sneakers or
headbands.
Its just something those
guys like to do, Felton said.
Its nothing.
Celtics forward Kevin Gar-
nett has made a career out of
belligerently bashing his oppo-
nents with the kind of blue lan-
guage that would make Tiger
Woods after an errant tee shot
sound like Mary Poppins. Gar-
nett and Anthony had a heated
exchange earlier this season
when Garnett allegedly uttered
some disrespectful comments
about Vazquez, and Crawford
was rumored to have targeted
her as well.
I would never talk trash
about that mans wife, Craw-
ford tweeted. I dont (know)
him. All I did was respond!!
Anthony brushed it off, say-
ing the seldom-used guard
didnt even deserve to have his
name typed in a story by re-
porters.
Im not thinking about no
Jordan Crawford, not at this
point in time, Ill tell you that,
Anthony said.
Knicks-Celtics is far from the
only series inthese playoffs that
would have been right at home
being broadcast on HBO. Okla-
homa City star Kevin Durant
was seen pounding his chest
and appearing to swear toward
the crowd in Houston in Game
6 on Friday night, Golden State
Warriors coach Mark Jackson
accused the Denver Nuggets of
playing dirty in their series and
the referees were handing out
technical fouls like Halloween
candy in the testy Clippers-
Grizzlies series.
Grizzlies forward Zach Ran-
dolph and Clippers forward
Blake Griffin got into a wres-
tling match in Game 6 and
Clippers agitator Matt Barnes
thought he got thrown out of
game twice in about the last
three minutes while arguing
with referee Joey Crawford.
Crawford allowed Barnes to
stay, but tossed both Randolph
and Clippers star Chris Paul as
the Grizzlies closed that series
out.
I was just talking to the
bench and we was exchanging
words, and Joey, he dont play,
Randolph said. So he tossed
me.
Neither does Jackson, who
accused the Nuggets of taking
shots at Warriors guard Steph
Curry. The accusations actual-
ly may have brought even more
heat on his star player and
earned Jackson a $25,000 fine.
Curry said that the some
Nuggets kept calling him soft
on the court during Game 5.
Even a Nuggets fan crossed
the line by saying something
stupid about Curry and his
family when he walked off the
court after in Denver, he said.
What does that mean? Im
out there playing, been playing
well all year, Curry said. It
doesnt matter what people call
you, what people think of you.
Just get your job done. Thats
all Im really worried about.
Asked about some Nuggets
possibly calling Curry soft,
Jackson said it depends on who
said it.
If Mike Tyson calls him
soft, Jackson said, Id say
Mike has a point.
The second round begins
on today when Oklahoma City
hosts Memphis for Game 1,
and there are no signs of the
chatter slowing down.

The New York Islanders Kyle Okposo (21) celebrates his goal
with teammates Matt Moulson (26) and Frans Nielsen during
the third period against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 2 of a
first-round Stanley Cup playoff series on Friday in Pittsburgh.
The Islanders won 4-3 to even the series at 1-1.
Postseason is finally
back on Long Island
UNIONDALE, N.Y. The
New York Islanders said all the
right things in the days leading
up to their first-round playoff
matchup against the top-seeded
Pittsburgh Penguins.
Yes, they knew the odds of an
upset in a No. 1 vs. No. 8 series
were stacked heavily against
them, and yes they were aware
that the Penguins roster reads
more like an All-Star game line-
up than an everyday club.
Still, the upstart Islanders de-
clared they were ready and up to
the daunting challenge ahead of
them.
Whether they truly believed
will never be known, but make
no mistake, their comeback vic-
tory in Game 2 in Pittsburgh
gave them a jolt of positive en-
ergy they hope carries them
through their first home playoff
game in six years on Sunday.
Weve come in believing in
ourselves all season long. Noth-
ing has changed in that stand-
point, star forward John Tava-
res said Saturday.
New York was run over in
a 5-0, series-opening loss on
Wednesday and seemed primed
to be routed again on Friday
night when the Penguins scored
twice in the first 3:19 and then
grabbed a 3-1 lead just 18 sec-
onds after the Islanders netted
their first goal of the series.
Sidney Crosby scored Pitts-
burghs second and third goals
in his return to the lineup after
missing more than a month be-
cause of a broken jaw.
However, no one could have
predicted that the Penguins
would be held off the scoreboard
for the final 40 minutes of action.
I missed two wide-open
nets, Crosby said Saturday after
the Penguins practiced at Nas-
sau Coliseum. I dont know if
we were shut down. I didnt feel
like we were shut down, but at
the end of the day we didnt put
the puck in the net. Weve got to
find a way to do that if we want
to win.
It is only two games, and the
series is tied 1-1, but there is a
different feel now. Before the
talk was how many games it
would take for the Penguins to
turn aside the Islanders, now the
fight is on.
That was totally clear when
New York forward Kyle Okposo
had the first fight of his NHL
career. After teammate Matt
Moulson was hit by Pittsburgh
defenseman Matt Niskanen, Ok-
poso came to his defense and
bloodied Niskanen during the
unexpected bout 4:58 into the
second period.
Just 14 seconds later, Colin
McDonald scored to bring the
Islanders within 3-2. Okposo
would then score the winning
goal with 7:37 left in the third
period of New Yorks 4-3 victory.
It was a turning point of the
game for me, Islanders captain
Mark Streit said of the fight.
Moulson got hit, and he stepped
in for him. It was his first fight
and he did really well and he got
everybody really pumped and
got everybody going.
After that we never looked
back. Hes a great leader on
the team. He had a great game,
scored the game-winner. It
doesnt get any better than that.

BOSTON Joffrey Lupul
scored two goals and the
Toronto Maple Leafs got a 4-2
win over the Boston Bruins on
Saturday that evened their first-
round series at one game.
The Maple Leafs played ag-
gressively from the start after a
weak performance in a 4-1 loss
in which the Bruins were much
more physical.
But that changed early in
Game 2 as Toronto delivered 22
hits in the first period to just 10
for Boston.
Nathan Horton gave the
Bruins a 1-0 lead at 1:56 of the
second period, but Lupul scored
at 5:18 on a power play and at
11:56 with the teams at even
strength.
Phil Kessel made it 3-1 on a
breakaway 53 seconds into the
third period. Johnny Boychuk
cut the lead at 10:35 before
James van Riemsdyk scored for
Toronto at 16:53.
Game 3 of the best-of-seven
playoff series is Monday night
in Toronto.
Ducks 4, Red Wings 0
DETROIT Nick Bonino
scored for Anaheim on a
second-period power play 18
seconds after Detroits Justin
Abdelkader was ejected for a
violent hit on Toni Lydman
and the Ducks went on to a
victory to take a 2-1 series lead
over the Red Wings in the West-
ern Conference playoffs.
Abdelkader appeared to catch
Lydman square in the side of
the head with his left shoul-
der, and he was given a major
penalty for charging and a game
misconduct with 4:49 remaining
in the second.
The Ducks immediately
took advantage when Bonino
backhanded a shot past goalie
Jimmy Howard from point-
blank range.
Ryan Getzlaf, Emerson Etem
and Matt Beleskey scored in
the third period for the Ducks.
Jonas Hiller made 23 saves for
Anaheim.
Bulls stop
Nets to
take series
By BRIAN MAHONEY
AP Basketball Writer
NEW YORK Joakim Noah
had 24 points and 14 rebounds,
Marco Belinelli also scored 24
points and the Chicago Bulls
beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-93
on Saturday night in Game 7 of
their first-round series.
Carlos Boozer added 17 points
as the Bulls shook off injuries to
two starters and every run the
Nets tried to make in the second
half to win a Game 7 on the road
for the first time in franchise his-
tory. They advanced to a second-
round series against defending
champion Miami that starts
Monday night.
The Bulls opened a 17-point
halftime lead with a rare offen-
sive outburst, and found a way
to get big baskets every time
the Nets pulled close to win the
NBAs only do-or-die game of the
first round.
Deron Williams had 24 points,
seven assists and six rebounds
for the Nets. They were trying to
become the ninth NBA team to
win a series after trailing 3-1.
But they had a horrendous
first-half defensive performance
and Joe Johnson was bad all
game on offense, finishing with
six points on 2-of-14 shooting, in-
cluding 1 of 9 from3-point range.
With Luol Deng (illness) and
Kirk Hinrich (bruised left calf)
out again, the Bulls leaned on
Noah, who could barely play
when the series started but
logged 41 minutes and shot 12
of 17, then still had enough en-
ergy to climb over the baseline
seats for a long embrace with his
mother.
Noah, who grewup and played
in high school here, helped the
Bulls spoil the Nets first home
Game 7 in franchise history at
the end of their first season in
Brooklyn. They had played only
one Game 7 in all their years
while they were based in New
Jersey, falling at Detroit in 2004.
Chicago improved to 1-6 in
road Game 7s.
Deng, tested for meningitis
earlier in the week, was back in
the hospital Friday night and un-
able to travel. Hinrich warm up
in hopes of playing before he was
ruled out.
It didnt matter to the Bulls,
who backed up coach Tom
Thibodeaus vowthat they would
have no excuses and play well.
Coming out ready to work, the
Bulls got their first two baskets
on offensive rebounds by Boozer
and Noah, and they led most of
the first quarter before bringing
a 29-25 lead to the second on Taj
Gibsons jumper with 0.8 sec-
onds left.
It was 40-36 before the Bulls
took control with solid offen-
sive execution and poor Nets
defense. Noah had consecutive
baskets before seldom-used Dae-
quan Cook made a 3-pointer to
cap an 11-2 run.

Construction
season off to
one fast start
I
ts construction season, and activity
is occurring at a rapid pace.
Ive seen work going on every-
where, and the locations are some of
the most ingenious around.
This spring, Ive seen homes con-
structed on an ancient barn beam, on
top of a two-by-six leaning against a
shed and even inside the auger of an
old combine.
It seems there are no limits as to
where this type of construction takes
place, and in this case, thats not a bad
thing.
Every spring Im amazed by the
places where birds will construct their
nests. There are always the obvious
locales, such as in the crevice of a tree
or inside the safe confines of a man-
made nest box.
But each year, I find some creative,
even precarious, examples.
Theres a robin that built her nest
suspended within a four-inch gap
between two saw horses. The nest is
woven tight enough that it is wedged
between the pair of saw horses, which
are underneath the overhang of a roof,
offering a bit of shelter.
The nest seems secure now, and the
light blue egg shells on the ground are
proof that things worked out fine for
the robin, but how did it choose the
spot? And how did the robin start the
nest? With little to anchor to, every
piece of grass and twig had to be per-
fectly placed as the nest took shape.
I found another nest constructed in
an outbuilding where, days ago, I laid
a hammer across the corner of two
walls. There was just enough space
between the hammer and the corner to
hold a nest.
Building in such a locations certainly
takes patience and a bit of ingenuity.
When it comes to daredevil nest con-
struction, nothing beats a barn swal-
low. Every spring, their nests appear
on the flat surface of ceiling rafters
inside many barns.
A mixture of mud and grass that
hardens like plaster, the technique al-
lows swallows to attach their nests just
about anywhere.
Even more amazing is the work that
goes into a swallows nest. Mud is
brought to the construction site by the
mouthful and the mother makes more
than 1,000 trips just to bring enough
material.
To make things easier for the birds, I
hang several nest boxes in early spring.
While my goal is to attract bluebirds,
the nest boxes are used by a variety of
species.
Purple martins usually stake their
claim before the bluebirds get there,
but sometimes the nest boxes are so
popular that birds will still find a way
to use them even if the inside is oc-
cupied. Many times Ive spotted a nest
on top of a nest box.
I guess its kind of like a waiting list
when the tenant inside moves out
the tenant on the top can move in.
My admiration for nest construc-
tion does wear thin at times, however.
Inside the cab of a tractor, for example.
When I opened the door to climb
inside, I noticed a trail of bird dropping
leading from a vent in the top of the
cab, across the seat, over the steering
wheel and through an open window. I
lifted the vent flap and peered inside
and was greeted by a startled Euro-
pean starling.
The bird made a quick exit out the
window, and deep inside the vent I
could hear the faint peep, peep of her
young.
Even though starlings arent a na-
tive species and the location of this
particular nest was less than desirable,
I decided to let it be since the young
had already hatched.
Once they leave, however, the nest
will follow and the window will remain
shut to avoid a repeat.
In the meantime, Ill keep the seat
covered and remember to duck when I
climb into the cab.
After all, its construction season in
the outdoors, and sometimes you cant
stand in the way of progress.

Capture anything interesting
on your handheld or trail cam-
era? A nice buck, bear, coyote
or anything unique? Wed love
to see it. Each week, well run
a photo from a readers trail
camera on the Sunday Out-
doors page. Email your photo,
along with date and area it was
taken (township is fine) and
any other details to tvenesky@
timesleader.com.
Most of the time wildlife and
people can co-exist just fine.
But sometimes the situation
gets a bit tangled, literally.
The nice buck on the trail cam
picture sent in by Joe Petcav-
age had a nasty run-in with
an electric fence in Tuscarora
Township, Bradford County. In
addition to the wire wrapped
around its rack, an insulator
is hanging below its chin. The
photo was taken in November
2010, and its likely the buck
has since been harvested by a
hunter or lost the wire mess
when it shed its antlers the fol-
lowing winter.
The long-eared owl in the
other picture had a tough time
after it became tangled in the
cord of a sun shade in Jack
Homishs backyard last August
in Mountain Top.
Fortunately the bird was
freed and flew away.
If you encounter wildlife that
has had a run-in with some-
thing man-made and needs as-
sistance, call the Pennsylvania
Game Commission at 675-1143.
Caught on camera
Tunkhannock Area sixth grader set to compete
in national archery tournament
Ayden Hooke had never shot
a bow until two years ago.
The Tunkhannock Area
student was in the fifth grade
at the time, and thats when he
heard about an archery club
started by physical education
teacher Jeff Underwood.
Hooke figured hed give
archery a try.
I always wondered what it
is like to shoot a bow. I heard
about the program and wanted
to test it out, he said. Before I
shot the bow for the first time, I
knew nothing about them. But
I did it and kept getting better
and better.
Hooke, 12, improved so
quickly that he recently earned
an invite to a national tourna-
ment this Saturday in Louis-
ville, Ky., sponsored by the
National Archery in the Schools
program.
Not bad for someone who
only picked up a bow for the
first time two years ago.
Shortly after joining the ar-
chery club, Hooke, who resides
in Monroe Township, Wyoming
County, hit the tournament
trail. Last year, he finished in
third place in his division at
his schools tournament and
competed on a bigger stage
at the state tournament held
in State College. Although he
didnt place, the experience left
Hooke yearning for more.
It was the best feeling in my
life, he said.
This year Hooke made a
return trip to the State College
tournament and fared quite
a bit better. His score of 257
out of 300 earned him a trip
to the national competition in
Louisville.
At State College, Hookes
score ranked first out of the 85
sixth grade boys he competed
against, fourth out of 144 boys
in the elementary division (in-
cludes all grades up to sixth),
and 66th out of a total of 444
boys that includes all grades
from elementary to high school.
Hooke recalls the moment he
learned that his score was the
highest in his division.
It was scaring me listening
to them read the scores because
they were all very close, he
said. Second place was 256,
It just comes naturally

Falcon plan
The Pennsylvania Game
Commission is seeking public
input on its draft peregrine
falcon management plan, which
can be reviewed on the agencys
website (www.pgc.state.pa.us)
by clicking on the Peregrine
Falcon Management Plan icon
on the homepage.
Public comments on the per-
egrine management plan will be
accepted until May 29, through
the website; an email address
peregrinecomments@pa.gov;
or by U.S. Mail to: Peregrine Fal-
con Management Plan, Pennsyl-
vania Game Commission, 2001
Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg,
Pa., 17110-9797.
We are seeking public com-
ment on the peregrine falcon
management plan to ensure the
final management plan consid-
ers all meaningful input and
concerns about this species
put forth by Pennsylvanians,
said Calvin W. DuBrock, Game
Commission Bureau of Wildlife
Management director. As writ-
ten, the plan is science-based,
progressive and promotes
responsible management of
peregrine falcons. Were inter-
ested in hearing from Pennsyl-
vanians who would like to offer
comments, and to see if weve
missed something or if they
share our management vision
for the future.
Developed by biologists with
the agencys Wildlife Diversity
Division, the peregrine falcon
management plan establishes
management goals through
2021. The mission of this plan
is to restore peregrines to their
ecological role, maintain a
self-sustaining population and
provide the public with the op-
portunity to enjoy them.
DEP samples Susquehanna
The Department of Environ-
mental Protection last week
released the 2012 Susquehanna
River Sampling Report, explain-
ing the latest results from an ag-
gressive sampling effort across
the Susquehanna River.
Work is continuing across
the watershed this spring and
summer, as the scope of the
study broadens to include more
tributaries of the three main
sections of the Susquehanna
watershed: the Juniata River,
Main Stem and West Branch of
the Susquehanna.
The results of the 2012
report speak to the complex-
ity of this issue and the need
to continue to keep pushing
forward with our partners at the
Fish and Boat Commission, the
Susquehanna River Basin Com-
mission and the U.S. Geologic
Survey, DEP acting secretary
Chris Abruzzo said.
Were not at a place yet
where data supports one theory
over another as it relates to
the conditions experienced by
the smallmouth bass, but were
leaving no stone unturned as we
continue to search for answers,
Abruzzo said. Water quality
data does not at this time sup-
port an impairment designation
of the lower Susquehanna, and
such a designation does not
come with any guarantee of
federal funding or resources.
DEP will hold a webinar to
discuss the results Thursday,
May 9, from 2-3 p.m.
The 2012 report, available
online, discusses what data DEP
biologists collected at eight
sites in the Susquehanna basin,
two of which were along the
Juniata River, and at one control
site in the Delaware River. DEP
staff spent 187 days last year on
the river collecting hundreds of
samples.
All dissolved oxygen levels
across the eight sites were
acceptable compared with the
current dissolved oxygen crite-
ria. Phosphorus, nitrogen and
nitrate levels were higher at the
Delaware River control site than
at any site in the Susquehanna
River.
Within the Susquehanna
River basin, sample results for
these pollutants were higher at
the Juniata River sites.
DEP biologists also applied an
established water quality index
method that uses the number
and diversity of aquatic insects
as a barometer.
The results indicate the
Susquehanna River north of
Harrisburg water quality is
between fair and good, accord-
ing to the index, with greater
richness of aquatic life than the
Delaware River site.
DEP recognizes this sampling
method and results are only a
starting point, as many more
sites need to be sampled and
the fish community as a whole
needs to be evaluated through-
out the river.
Samples taken near Harris-
burg show that water quality
can vary greatly across one
cross-section of the river,
representative of the three large
waterways that make up the
Susquehanna watershed.
DEP continues to wait for fi-
nal approval from the U.S. Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency of
its final 2012 Integrated Waters
report. The report describes the
health of various waterways in
the state and proposes listing
waterways as impaired.

At Geisinger, we are dedicated to successful kidney
transplants. Were certified by the United Network for
Organ Sharing, and in turn, our patients, even young
patients, have access to a nationwide network of organ
donors and a living donation program. And Geisinger is
one of only a few transplant centers in the country
implementing tolerogenic immunosuppression, which limits
the need for steroids after surgery and reduces the risk of
rejection. And we are right here in Wilkes-Barre.
For more information, call 1.800.645.1228 or visit

The best hospital
for your transplant
isnt across the country.
Its right here.
Still think all healthcare is the same?
and then they called my name
at 257.
I stepped up to the podium
and I couldnt think about any-
thing. I didnt even know I was
holding my trophy upside down
until they told me.
Hooke honed his archery
skills strictly through the
Tunkhannock Area program.
He practices with the club after
school once a week and, since
sights arent allowed in tourna-
ments, he never uses them.
Just a finger sling, an arm-
guard and his compound bow
are all Hooke needs.
During a NASP tournament,
competing archers shoot at a
target from 10 and 15 meters
with 15 arrows to use for each
distance. The highest score per
arrow is 10.
Eight Tunkhannock Area
students from the elementary,
middle and high school levels
earned scores high enough
to compete in nationals next
weekend. Hooke admits he isnt
worried about competing at the
national level, and he is hoping
to score high enough to go on
to the NASP World Champion-
ship, held in St. Louis this June.
While Hookes success has
come quickly, it hasnt sur-
prised his mother, Brooke.
He definitely has a natural
knack for it, she said. Its nice
that the school has this club
for the kids. Its something
different for them and, being in
Wyoming County, archery is big
in this area.
While Hooke hopes to con-
tinue with competitive archery
with his school, he is consider-
ing expanding his skill with a
bow and try his hand at deer
hunting.
After I get stronger I hope
to be able to pull back a heavier
bow for hunting, he said.
But Im happy to just have
the chance to finally be able to
shoot a bow.
Thats a chance Hooke didnt
have two years ago, but one that
has led to yet another chance
a win at nationals and an invite
to the world championship.
I remember shooting a
bow for the first time and how
different it felt, he said. But
now Im comfortable with it and
really enjoy competing in the
tournaments. Winning them is
the best feeling I ever had.

THE TIMES LEADER SUNDAY, MAY 5, 2013
SECTI ON D
timesleader.com
Sixteen-year-old Gabriel Aguilar, of
Chicago, an avid shopper, prefers to
patronize specialty shops such as Ur-
ban Outtters or Forever 21 for party
and hang-out-with-friends apparel.
Sears? Not a chance.
Every time I think of Sears, I
think of a washing machine, he said.
They barely have clothing in their
commercials, and I never see their
commercials on the things that we
watch.
But when the high school sopho-
more learned that Sears soon would
be offering skinny jeans branded
with pop star Adam Levines name,
his interest was sufciently piqued _
enough that he said hell be checking
out the goods.
Sears and a number of other de-
partment stores are hoping they can
convince Aguilar and other young
shoppers that theyre worthy of a sec-
ond look, and, ideally, their lifelong
loyalty. Theyre beeng up mobile
shopping tools and bringing in more
affordable, fashionable merchandise
as well as signing up celebrities to
sell their wares.
The goal: winning over a coveted
generation of those born after 1980
who spend about $430 billion annu-
ally on discretionary items, accord-
ing to The Boston Consulting Group.
Right now, all retailers are going
after the millennial customer. They
have to, because it represents the
future of their business, said Carol
Spieckerman, president and CEO of
Newmarketbuilders, a retail consul-
tancy.
Late last year, Macys rolled out
more than 20 brands, including lines
inspired by Madonna and her teenage
daughter, Lourdes Leon, known as
Lola, and Marilyn Monroe aimed at
the younger set, which the company
acknowledged cares about trends,
style and value.
In February, Nordstrom revamped
its trend-driven Savvy womens de-

catchphrases
in the market
ThE CALENdAR
beckons investors to
tread lightly through
the stock market,
according to an old
saying.
Sell in May
and go away is a
popular slogan among pundits because
history has demonstrated that often
though not even half of the time
stocks suffer losses between May and
October.
With growing economic weakness
as a warning, and the Standard &
Poors 500 at a record high, investors
have wondered if they should heed the
refrain. In April they sold for a couple
of weeks, sending stocks down about
four percent. And Tuesday, a slumping
Chicago manufacturing index and eu-
rozone unemployment at a record 12.1
percent prompted some temporary
stock selling early in the day.
But neither the weak global econo-
my nor anti-May thoughts is a match
for a more powerful force and catch-
phrase: dont ght the Fed. Thats
the message related to periods when
the Federal Reserve is busy pouring
money into the system. Its considered
silly for an investor to resist the herd,
which buys stocks simply because of
the Feds stimulus. The belief is that
when billions of dollars are pumped
into the system, the money will land
somewhere, and investors expect that
somewhere to be stocks. So investors
go with the ow, buying stocks on the
expectation that a rising stock market
is inevitable.
Recently, the ow into stocks has
been driven by an even stronger knee-
jerk stimulus than the Fed. There is a
massive effort throughout the world
by central banks, including the Fed,
to try to bring the economy out of its
funk. Stimulus is coming from Japan
and Europe. So its dont ght central
banks, rather than simply the Fed.
Analysts have warned that if inves-
tors sense any sign that the stimulus
will end, stocks could fall in value
because theyve been propped up by
fake conditions rather the growth. But
after a spate of weak economic data
lately, investors are expecting the Fed-
eral Reserve board to say after meeting
Wednesday that it will keep buying
bonds to try to juice the economy. And
the European Central Bank is expected
to announce Thursday an interest rate
cut to try to lift Europe out of a reces-
sion.
While investors await their new infu-
sions, analysts question the value.
The global economy is no better
than very slow growth, said Ned
davis, of Ned davis Research. This
leads me to question the effectiveness
of Fed and other central banks poli-
cies that are supposed to ignite faster
growth and, with a ood of liquidity,
lift all boats. But there are a number of
signs that the massive global easing by
central banks is helping stocks.
The reaction to stimulus in the stock
and bond markets has been dramatic.
Strategist Michael hartnett, of Bank
of America Merrill Lynch, points out
that some of the largest gainers of the
last month have been Italian stocks
and Greek bonds. Thats despite major,
unresolved economic issues in those
countries. And Japanese stocks have
been the winners of the year gain-
ing 19 percent now that the Japa-
nese central bank is trying to stimulate
the economy after two decades of
malaise.
In the U.S., investors have shown
some caution by choosing stocks
from sectors considered defensive
dividend-paying stocks from utility,
health care and consumer staples
companies. Investors have been less
interested in technology, energy or
industrial stocks, which depend on a
strong economy for growth. But with
safe U.S. Treasury bonds yielding
less than 1.7 percent, investors have
been driven by the Federal Reserves
low-interest policy to take risks in the
stock market.
Investors have been encouraged by
analysts and companies such as Cum-
mins to expect an improving economy
later this year. Cummins on Tuesday
fell far short of prot expectations
with diesel engines, but said it expects
improvement before year-end.

Cyberattacks are costing corpo-
rations and consumers a lot.
In a six-year span starting in 2005,
data breaches in 33 countries, in-
cluding the U.S., cost the rms
involved more than $156 billion,
according to the nonprot digital
Forensics Association.
Every second, in various parts of
the world, there are 18 cybercrime
victims some 1.6 million a day
according to a 2012 Norton by
Symantec study.
On Friday, the Wenatchee World
newspaper reported that a Leaven-
worth, Wash., hospital said hackers
stole more than $1 million from
the hospitals electronic bank ac-
count. The Chelan County, Wash.,
treasurer said it had been able to
retrieve about $133,000 by notify-
ing recipient bank accounts, most
in the Midwest and East Coast.
And the Associated Press re-
ported that LivingSocial, an on-
line deals site, said Friday that its
website was hacked and the per-
sonal data of more than 50 million
customers may have been affected
names, email addresses, date of
birth of some users and encrypted
passwords.
Then there are the Chinese hack-
ers, who blasted into the news in
February when Mandiant, an Inter-
net security rm, released a report
saying that a group linked to the
Peoples Liberation Army had sys-
temically stolen condential data
from at least 141 American rms.
In his State of the Union address,
President Barack Obama warned,
Now our enemies are also seeking
the ability to sabotage our power
grid, our nancial institutions and
our air trafc control systems.
That makes Internet security a
booming industry, at an estimated
nearly $1 billion a year in 2012, ac-
Adam Cecchetti, 31, one of the
founders of Deja vu Security, which
operates out of a loft on Capitol
Hill, says that unlike hackers who

take grandmas savings or deface
someones website.

BUSINESS AGENDA
dise and lowering the average price
point to $50 from about $100.
We thought we had the opportu-
nity to be more relevant to that truly
trend-driven customer who wanted
us to be more accessible in price, and
that was a hurdle for us before in that
department, said Nordstrom spokes-
man Colin Johnson.
This month, Sears launched a busi-
ness unit dedicated to signing up ce-
lebrities to sell their wares, including
trendy dresses and jeans. First on its
list: pop stars Nicki Minaj and Levine,
who moonlight on the popular TV
shows American Idol and The
Voice, respectively.
Retail experts say department
stores have a ways to go. They have
never owned the millennial custom-
er, who has typically been the primary
focus of specialty shops such as H&M
and Old Navy with their cheap-chic
merchandise. A recent report by WSL
Strategic Retail, a New York-based
consultancy, found that 79 percent of
millennials shop at specialty stores
and 52 percent shop at department
stores.
Celebrity branding isnt new. De-
signers have long competed to win
the affections of Hollywood stars. But
the embrace of social media among
millennials has opened up new oppor-
tunities for retailers to capitalize on
celebrities star wattage.
Hoffman Estates, Ill.-based Sears,
which has been suffering from slug-
gish sales for years, has seen some
success recently selling apparel with
celebrity headliners such as actress
Soa Vergara and the Kardashian sis-
ters reality TV trio. With Minaj and
Levine, ofcials are seeking to capital-
ize on the mix of music, fashion and
Hollywood.
Any retailer that taps into that ce-
lebrity taps into their transmedia pres-
ence _ online, radio, TV, movies, Twit-
ter, everywhere, Spieckerman said.
Still, Spieckerman and other indus-
try watchers are predicting it will be
an uphill climb for Sears, which is
better known for its home appliances
than its fashion offerings.
Sears customer is not a fashion cus-
tomer, according to Roseanne Mor-
rison, fashion director of New York-
based retail consultancy Tobe.
They are trying to envision them-
selves in different milieus to make it
happen. So I dont know. Itll be a big
challenge for them, she said. The
jury is out.
Retailers also have to do more to
keep millennials coming back, said
Wendy Liebmann, CEO of WSL Stra-
tegic Retail. The clothing and the in-
store experience have to be right,
she added.
There are just too many places for
younger consumers to shop, Lieb-
mann said.
Macys has created entire divi-
sions devoted to young shoppers: Its
Mstylelab is dedicated to customers
ages 13 to 22, and Impulse is aimed at
19- to 30-year-olds.
It has created private (Macys-only)
labels such as urban-inspired denim
line G Star Raw and the skateboarder-
driven Comune to draw in millennials
with varied interests. And it also has
the likes of Taylor Swift, P. Diddy and
Justin Bieber selling its merchandise.
Were a destination for prom and
for the rst interview suit, said Mar-
tine Reardon, Macys chief marketing
ofcer. Its the 14- to 30-year-old and
every year between thats important.
Macys is also using promotional
events, such as a recent book-signing
with Bravo TV executive and talk
show host Andy Cohen, along with
other retail-tainment, to create ex-
citement in the store.
Still, there are exceptions.
Elizabeth Barton, 25, isnt looking
for celebrities and glitz. The Chicago
executive recruiter likes new clothes
and prefers Nordstrom over H&M,
where she was snapping pictures of
herself trying on sunglasses in front of
a mirror on a recent afternoon.
I assume celebrity brands arent
well made, and they arent catered to
my taste anyway, she said. My style
is quality over quantity. Id rather have
one nice pair of jeans and one nice
purse than a bunch.
Discerning millennials like Barton
are what Nordstrom was gunning for
when it overhauled its trendy wom-
ens department. The goal was to lure
younger customers in search of quali-
ty with a nod to their limited budgets.
The move wasnt so much a change in
strategy but a realization that it want-
ed to be the retailer of choice.
We thought we had an opportunity
to be more relevant to that truly trend-
driven customer who wanted us to be
more accessible in price, and that was
a hurdle for us before in that depart-
ment, said Nordstrom spokesman

look has been positive overall, he said.
Nor will the celebrity branding
trend be fading soon. Its likely that a
growing number of retailers will add
celebrity brands to their merchandise
lineup, according to Michael Stone,
CEO of Beanstalk, a celebrity licens-
ing rm.
(Celebrity branding) gives the re-
tailer a real point of differentiation,
he said, adding that its a way to cre-
ate sizzle in stores without having
to develop brands from scratch.

Macys has created entire divisions devoted to young shoppers.
cording to the consulting rmFrost &
Sullivan.
Another white hat hacker is Adam
Cecchetti, 31, who used to work at Le-
viathan and then in 2010 became one
of the founders of Deja vu Security,
which operates out of a second-oor
renovated loft in Seattles Capitol Hill.
Sometimes, he has colored his hair
blue.
Davidov and Cecchetti are on the
front lines of ghting off the black
hat hackers. Yes, that is how they de-
scribe their enemy.
The latter includes those sending
out phishing emails that look like they
came from a legitimate source but are
fakes trying to get your passwords and
credit-card information.
Or maybe they are black hats try-
ing to compromise a companys web-
site just so they can boast about it in
hacker circles.
For the white hats, their unique skill
at nding where a program is vulner-
able and howto close the digital doors
that the black hats use to penetrate a
website is worth $120,000 to $130,000
a year, Thunberg said.
Companies are being attacked by
bad people, and if they want to defend
themselves, they have to attract these
scarce people, he said. There are
maybe 1,000 individuals of this nature
in the world. They have this unique
hacker mind-set.
Their clients arent exactly keen to
publicize that they seek Internet secu-
rity, said Thunberg, and thats often
written into their contracts with Le-
viathan. Thunberg said his companys
average contract size is for around
$70,000. Citing privacy, he said only
that most are Fortune 1000 compa-
nies.
But one client that didnt mind
talking is a Washington, D.C.-based
company called Silent Circle. For $20
a month, it offers a service that en-
crypts voice, text and video on a users
smartphone, tablet or computer.
Their customers, said Jon Callas,
Silent Circles chief technical ofcer,
include U.S. businesses doing work
in China and Eastern Europe and oth-
er places where they dont want their
phone calls tapped.
His company, Callas said, hired
Leviathan to evaluate the encrypting
software for vulnerabilities and x
them.
They helped us nd problems be-
fore anybody else did, said Callas.
At Deja vu Security, Cecchetti said,
work that theyve done includes pos-
ing as new employees at a nancial
institution, given the standard access
to computers. Firms routinely give
computer administrative privileges
to only a handful of individuals.
But, Cecchetti said, within a cou-
ple of weeks, we had basically control
of the entire organization and could
access pretty much anything we want-
ed.
Deja vu put together a very large
report on how to x things, he said.
Hackers such as Davidov and Cec-
chetti have certain similarities. For
one thing, they started tinkering with
computers when they were kids, and
that passion never stopped.
Cecchetti grew up in Greensburg,
Pa. He helped start a computer club
in high school and said that although
he ran track and played soccer, I was
plenty nerdy.
As a teen in the 1990s, he was pro-
gramming video games and went on
to creating simple websites, before
they had become ubiquitous.
Cecchetti earned a masters from
Carnegie Mellon University in elec-
trical and computer engineering, and
ended up in Seattle in 2005, working
for Amazon to keep black hats from
breaking in.
Davidov is the son of Russian im-
migrants. His father worked at a tech
rmin Moscowand got a visa to come
to the U.S. in 1995, moving the family
to Woodinville, Wash.
But even in the old country, when
he was 5, Davidov said, he was using
a computer his father brought home,
playing little DOS games, the early
operating system.
By his teen years, Davidov was
hacking into video games so he could
beat them.
Having promised his parents that
hed go to college, Davidov enrolled at
the DigiPen Institute of Technology in
Redmond, Wash., and earned a four-
year degree in Real-Time Interactive
Simulation.
Said Davidov, That means I know
video games.
It is the ability to look at programs
over, under, sideways and down that
makes a Davidov so valuable, and in
such short supply.
At the University of Washingtons
renowned Computer Science and En-
gineering program, out of nearly 50
faculty members, we have one full-
time faculty member, Yoshiro Kohno,
who is a superstar in computer secu-
rity, but were hoping to grow in that
area in the near future, said its chair-
man, Hank Levy.
But even with more college classes
in cybersecurity, it is real-world expe-
rience that is needed, said Davidov.
Outside of a schools lab, he said, it all
gets much grander in scope.
There are also personal aspects, he
said, such as when he delivers a report
to developers who had spent a long
time working on a program, and he
points out its security aws.
The developers, he said, can get a
little defensive, and it can become a
little confrontational.
For both Davidov and Cecchetti, it
was a conscious, and simple, decision
to become a white hat.
Said Cecchetti, Im not in this busi-
ness to harmpeople, or to take Grand-
mas savings, or deface somebodys
website.
There is plenty of money to be
made in Internet security.
Things are very good, Cecchetti
said about Deja vu, which has a staff
of a dozen.
Companies pay for security because
getting hacked can cost plenty.
At Leviathan, on one of the brick
walls are a dozen or so framed exotic
bugs. Chad Thunberg, as one of Levia-
thans bosses at the 20-person compa-
ny, said that every time the company
nds a big-deal bug in software, up
goes another display insect.
At Deja vu, a small gong gets banged
when there is some good news.
Deja vu is a very specic refer-
ence point in the hacker mentality.
Cecchetti said its from the 1999 mov-
ie The Matrix, which he gures hes
seen 10 or 20 times. The hero, played
by Keanu Reeves, is a hacker in a fu-
ture time in which humans live in an
articial reality.
In the movie, Reeves sees a black
cat walk by, and then immediately
sees the same black cat walk by again.
Whoa. Deja vu, he says.
It turns out that deja vu is a glitch
in the matrix, and happens when
something is changed in that cyber-
space reality. The logo for Deja vu Se-
curity even has a black cat.
Cecchetti now is one of those who
hires, and said that when interviewing
applicants, he wants to know, Can
they see things from the perspective
of a hacker, gleeful to see how things
are made? They need to want to peel
away the layers. What happens if I
make a very small change in the sys-
tem?
If you can do that, you can come to
the ofce in any hairstyle you want.
Its usually a little bit of a shock,
Davidov said about how some clients
react to his Mohawk.
But once they start seeing the out-
put of the work we do, they nd it al-
most endearing.

WINNING STREAK
Can it go for seven? The Standard & Poors 500 index has climbed for
six straight months, marking its longest winning streak since 2009. But
May could be a stumbling block. Historically, the odds of seeing the
S&P 500 climb during the
month has been little better
than a coin flip. Since 1945,
the index has had a winning
May just 52 percent of the
time, according to S&P
Capital IQ. Its one reason
why an old investing adage
suggests to sell in May and
go away.
December, in contrast, has
brought a winning month 69
percent of the time. On
average, the S&P 500 has
risen 58 percent of the time
across all 12 months.
FLIPPING THE BOARD
First Solar was the best stock in the Standard & Poors 500 index in
April, surging 73 percent. Its a big turnaround for the solar-energy
company, which was the 11th worst stock in the first quarter of 2013
when it lost 13 percent. A better-than-expected profit forecast for 2013
made in early April sparked First Solars run, and it was just one of
several stocks that flipped from the losers list to the winners. Best
Buy was the sixth-best stock in the index during April, after being its
third-worst in 2012.

DOMESTIC BENT
Stocks that depend heavily on U.S. customers have been doing
better this year than those with lots of foreign customers. Health
care stocks in the Standard & Poors 500 index get 22 percent
of their revenue from
outside the U.S., for ex-
ample, according to Citi.
Thats a smaller share
than the 32 percent that
the S&P 500 overall
gets. The health care
sector has also been the
best so far in 2013 of the
10 that make up the
S&500. Why are inves-
tors so gung ho about
the U.S.? Because it
looks better than Europe
and other areas of the
global economy. Source: S&P Dow Jones Indices

Title: Senior financial planner with
T. Rowe Price.
What he suggests:
Investors should review their
long-term savings goals before
substituting dividend-paying stocks
for lower-yielding Treasury bonds.
Answers edited for content and
clarity.
Stuart Ritter
Investors are finding that
Treasury bonds are no longer a
reliable source of income to offset
the effects of inflation. Yields of
10-year Treasurys have recently
averaged around 1.70 percent.
Such low interest payments have
left some investors seeking other
sources of investment income, such
as dividend-paying stocks, to meet
expenses during retirement.
On average, dividend stocks
pay higher yields than 10-year
Treasurys, while also offering
potential capital gains from rising
stock prices. Stuart Ritter, the senior
financial planner with T. Rowe Price,
says retirees who are considering
swapping Treasurys for dividend
stocks should first review whether
their portfolio is allocated in a way
that truly reflects their long-term
savings goals.
More than likely, theres something
out of sync, Ritter says. One
common scenario: an inadequate
percentage of assets in stocks,
which offer greater potential than
bonds to offset the effects of inflation
during a decades-long retirement.
Whats wrong with substituting
dividend-paying stocks for
Treasurys to boost income?
Its based on the approach of,
Invest the principal, and never touch
it, and live off the interest that your
investments generate. That worked
for our grandparents, but it doesnt
anymore. Interest rates and yields
were a whole lot higher then, and
their life expectancies were less than
most retirees today can expect to
live. So inflation didnt have a chance
to really affect their lifestyle.
Why doesnt it work today?
Its because we now have the
opposite situation than what our
grandparents faced. Yields are so
low that investors may be getting
substantially less income than they
need. And now you have to plan for
a longer time horizon. Due to infla-
tion, in the later years of retirement
youll be paying more than you did
at the start for cruise ship tickets or
trips to see the grandkids. If your
principal has flatlined over the first
15 years of retirement because you
didnt have enough exposure to
stocks, you wont be able to afford
these things. Youll have to dip into
your principal, the portion of your
savings that youd hoped to keep
invested for growth potential. Youll
be drawing down savings a lot
faster than is sustainable.
How does this reflect a failure in
portfolio construction?
People getting out of Treasurys and
trying to get income from dividend
stocks are already confronting the
fact that their approach didnt work.
They may be 65, and already this
is happening. What happens when
they need a hip replacement at 80?
Because of inflation and the lack of
growth from the principal portion of
their portfolio, theyll have to take out
10 percent of their savings rather
than 5 percent. In managing your
portfolio, youve got to make the
decisions today that will manage
that risk years ahead.

InsiderQ&A

In Kentucky, racing fans will sip
mint juleps this weekend as
they root for their favorite horse.
But on Wall Street, some of the
winners are already clear.
The stocks of retailers with the most valuable brands
have posted some of the best returns over the last five
years. The publicly traded retailers ranked at the top of
Interbrands Best Retail Brands 2013 have all
surpassed the return of the Standard & Poors 500
index, including dividends.
A $1,000 investment in Amazon.com five years ago
more than tripled to $3,182 by Thursday. The same
amount invested in the S&P
500 would have grown to
$1,256.
This reflects a broader rally
for retailers as consumer
spending picked up following the recession.
Consumer spending growth was 0.2 percent last
month and has averaged 0.4 percent so far in 2013.
That compares with a drop of 1.5 percent at its low point
in November 2008.
But keep in mind that economists say an increase in
Social Security taxes, which took effect Jan. 1, may
slow consumer spending in the April-June quarter.

For years, investors watched as
commodity prices headed in pretty
much one direction: up.
But more strategists are now saying
that the super cycle for commodities
looks to be over: Golds price tumbled
13 percent in a two-day stretch last
month, and the price of natural gas
fell last week after a government
report showed that supplies are
healthier than analysts expected.
This screen shows stocks that
Deutsche Bank says have historically
risen when commodity prices fall.
Delta Air Lines, for example, would
cheer further drops in oils price. It
burned 3.8 billion gallons of jet fuel
last year at an average of $3.25 per
gallon. Thats up 39 percent from the
average of $2.33 per gallon that it
paid two years earlier. Fuel makes up
36 percent of Deltas operating
expenses, and any drop in oils price
will mean fatter profits.

Treasury yields rebound
Yields on longer-term Treasurys rose at the end of
last week after a stronger-than-expected jobs re-
port raised optimism in the economy. The yield on
the 10-year Treasury note jumped back above 1.7
percent. Earlier in the week, the 10-year notes
yield had fallen to its lowest level since December.
Higher Treasury yields tend to pull up rates on
various types of consumer loans.

compared to revenue, simply
divide the gross profit by revenue.
Dividing $29 billion by $48 billion
yields a gross margin of 0.60, or 60
percent. (Its often illuminating to
compare the results with industry
peers. For example, gross margin is
52 percent for PepsiCo, which deals
in snacks as well as beverages.)
Next, the remaining costs involved
in operating the business, such as
utility bills and advertising expenses,
are subtracted, leaving the operating
profit. Coca-Colas operating profit
is $11 billion.
Dividing this by revenue yields an
operating margin of about 22 percent.
Crunching older numbers reveals
that Coca-Colas operating margin is
down from the mid-20s a few years
ago not a great sign. (PepsiCos
operating margin is 14 percent.)
Finally, after items such as taxes
and interest payments are accounted
for, we come to net income. Coca-
Colas is $9 billion. Dividing that
by revenue yields a hefty net profit
margin of 19 percent. This number
reflects how many pennies from
every dollar of sales a company
keeps as profit.
(PepsiCos net margin is a little
more than 9 percent. On this mea-
sure alone, Coke looks stronger.)
The Motley Fool Take
EBay: a Better Buy
Than Amazon?
Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) is a
great business, but its stock is usu-
ally priced for perfection. Thus, one
or more bad moves could hit it hard.
So perhaps consider eBay (Nasdaq:
EBAY), instead. Its another fast-
growing e-commerce company,
with a better price.
EBays revenue rose 14 percent
and net income 19 percent, year
over year, in its last quarter. Key for
eBay is its PayPal business, a leading
online payment standard that made
up 40 percent of 2012 revenue. Over
the past five years, PayPals payment
volume has grown about 24 percent
per year. The trend should continue
as developing countries grow their
ranks of Internet users.
Another unique opportunity for
eBay is its aggressive pursuit of mer-
chant partnerships, opening doors for
faster expansion in the many coun-
tries that often limit foreign e-com-
merce. EBays recent investment in
Indias Snapdeal.com, for instance,
offers access to Indias fast-growing
e-commerce segment. Market poten-
tial is enormous, though the payoff
may be years away.
Snapdeals CEO, Kunal Bahl, says
purchases via smartphone are on
pace to double in 18 months.
Though Amazons significant
lead in e-commerce could make its
future more certain than eBays,
eBay offers benefits that seem
underappreciated by the market.
(The Motley Fool owns shares of
eBay and Amazon, and its newslet-
ters have recommended both.)

My Dumbest Investment
Burst Bubble
In 1993 I took early retirement
and rolled over my savings into
three mutual funds. My financial
adviser ended up leaving the state
due to some dispute, so I went
with a new broker who put me into
15 technology mutual funds. At
first all was great, and my retire-
ment money grew to $850,000 by
2000. But then the Internet bubble
burst and I was losing $100,000
per month. My broker said to hang
on, but I bailed out at $450,000.
Of course, the three original funds
were great performers during this
period! H.D., Richardson, Texas
The Fool Responds: Before the
bubble burst, many tech-heavy
companies were sporting sky-high
valuations, which looked risky to
level-headed, risk-averse inves-
tors. But many bet on continued
growth and ended up burned. Still,
once the stocks crashed, those with
shaky business models were best
sold, but more solid companies
were worth holding, as they even-
tually recovered.
Its best to have a good handle on
why youre invested in your vari-
ous holdings and on how risky
they are, too. Examine a funds
holdings, for example, along with
its fees, performance and valuation.

Can Vary
Q
Whats a full position
in a stock? P.J.,
Flagstaff, Ariz.
A
Imagine that you want to
invest $2,000 in Dodgeball
Supply Co. (ticker: WHAPP).
If you dont have much money
at the moment, or if you think the
stock has a decent chance of falling
soon, you might buy just $1,000
worth right now and plan to add
$1,000 later.
That $1,000 would represent a
half position in the stock. Once you
owned the $2,000 worth that you
wanted, youd have a full position.
A full position varies by person.
Its the size of the investment you
aim to have in a security.

Q
After I bought some shares
of stock in a company, the
stock delivered a few days of solid
price increases, but then dropped
a fair amount. I havent found
any significant bad news on the
company, so whats going on?
K.W., Madison, Ind.
A
The stock might have dropped
to adjust for a dividend pay-
ment. But it could be some other
reason or no reason.
The stock market, and individual
stocks, rarely go up or down in a
straight line. There will be some
up days and some down days,
sometimes tied to news about
the economy, an industry
or a company. There
often wont seem to be any
reason at all.
Dont worry about short-term
volatility. Focus on what you
think the stock is really worth,
ideally buying when its well
below that and selling when
it approaches or surpasses
that. Or just hang on as long
as the company is healthy
and growing.
The prices that really matter
are the price you bought at and
the price you sell at. Dont be
swayed by fear and greed.

What Profit
Margins Tell Us
Wish you understood financial
statements? Lets review the income
statement (sometimes called the
statement of operations). It summa-
rizes sales and profits over a period
of time, such as three months or a
year, and usually offers information
for the year-ago period too, so you
can compare and spot trends.
Consider Coca-Colas income
statement for 2012. At the top,
youll find net revenue (sometimes
called sales). For Coca-Cola, its
$48 billion.
Working our way down the income
statement, various costs will be sub-
tracted from revenue, leaving differ-
ent levels of profit. The item youll
find just under revenue is cost of
goods sold (sometimes abbreviated
as COGS or called cost of revenue),
representing the cost of producing
products or services sold. For Coca-
Cola, its $19 billion. Subtract the
COGS from revenues, and youll get
a gross profit of $29 billion.
To find the gross margin, which
reflects the costs of production

little evidence overall that the euro-

were signs that this may have been
happening around the turn of the year,
but this was not sustained.
He noted that global growth is sput-

Q: Six months ago, I was red from
a company where I worked for two
years.
My co-workers were a tight clique
of women who blamed me whenever
something went wrong. The super-
visor supported them, and human
resources didnt seem interested in
my side of the story.
Before this happened, I had a good
work history for 30 years, but I have
not been able to nd another job.
When I tell employers I was red,
they never call me back for a second
interview.
How can I convince someone to
hire me?
A: If you worked successfully for
three decades, then the last job was
obviously an anomaly.
Perhaps you were unsuited for that
particular position, or maybe the of-
ce drama just spiraled out of control.
But regardless, the key to re-em-
ployment is highlighting your earlier
record.
For example: In my last job, I
found myself in a difcult situation
which I still dont fully understand.
Perhaps I was simply not a good t
for that position.
But as you can see from my
resume, I previously had a long, suc-
cessful work history. My former man-
agers have provided reference letters,
and they will be glad to talk with you
about my ability and work ethic.
Ask your references for permission
to share their names and contact
information, then prepare a summary
sheet to give employers.
You must also make a concerted
effort to sharpen your interview
skills. A strong personal impression,
combined with glowing recommenda-
tions, will help to offset any concerns
about your termination.
Q: I am extremely angry with a col-
league who keeps copying my work.
When Jody was hired three years
ago, I let her use my project docu-
ments as a model. But she is now
quite capable of creating her own.
Although I have hinted that I dont
like having my work copied, Jody
continues to do it.
We used to be friends, but now I
try to avoid her. How can I stop this
without creating a conict?
A: I hate to break it to you, but if you
are angrily avoiding a former friend,
then a conict already exists.
The problemis that your refusal to
communicate directly makes it impos-
sible to resolve. Like many timid souls,
you drop hints about your feelings,
then become resentful when no one
picks up on them.
Since you originally allowed Jody
to copy your documents, she may
have no idea that your feelings have
changed.
So instead of continuing to send
subtle signals, try expressing your
concerns like a mature adult.
For example: Jody, I gave you
permission to copy my work when
you were new, but now I feel sure that
you can do a great job on your own.
Although I prefer not to have my
documents duplicated, I will be glad
to help if you should run into any
roadblocks.
If imagining this conversation
makes you queasy, then you will have
to choose between taking an emotion-
al risk and accepting the status quo.
The only unacceptable alternative
is to continue acting like a passive-
aggressive child.

Theres noThing new about tragedies
being spun for political gain. so its hardly
surprising, if still disappointing, that both
sides in the debate over guns have been us-
ing the Boston Marathon bombing to score
points. some gun-control proponents argue
that rearms are a far bigger public threat
than terrorism. Meanwhile, defenders of
gun rights say that the restrictive gun laws
in Massachusetts, resulting in few guns in
private hands, left residents helpless dur-
ing the hunt for the suspects.
While posses of armed citizens may not
be the best response to terrorism, in this
instance, the lessons of the tragedy sug-
gest that, at the very least, gun control is
no panacea.
some attempts to nd an anti-gun
message in the events that unfolded in
Boston have been downright odd. As
suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured,
Derek Thompson, a senior editor at The
Atlantic Monthly and adjunct professor
at the Columbia school of Journalism,
posted on his Twitter feed, The only
thing that stops 1 bad guy with a gun is
10,000 trained policemen and a 24 hour
manhunt. Maybe time to rethink that one
likely referring to the national rie
Associations good guy with a gun line.
But Tsarnaev was no mere bad guy
with a gun authorities feared he might
have explosives and there is at least
anecdotal evidence that many good people
in Massachusetts wished theyd had a gun
to stop him if necessary.
Meanwhile, new Yorker blogger John
Cassidy invoked the defeat of a federal
bill providing for expanded background
checks for gun buyers as cause to lament
the folly of a country that so vigorously
confronts one source of death and destruc-
tion while turning its back on another.
Cassidy asserts that, partly because of
gun politics, our society does not respond
to shootings nearly as aggressively as it
does to terror bombings: a perpetrator
using crude, homemade bombs instantly
becomes Public enemy number one,
with no manpower or intelligence spared
for his capture, while a shooter with a
semi-automatic rie is dismissed as a
lone nut. But thats a awed comparison.
surely, a mass shooter who had managed
to ee the scene of the massacre would
have become Public enemy number
one, and the focus of a manhunt as
intense as the one that paralyzed Boston
(as was the case with the Washington-area
snipers in 2002).
Meanwhile, Cassidy seems oblivious to
the irony of his own admission that the
Tsarnaev brothers were apparently able
to construct lethal bombs using pressure
cookers, nails and recipes found on the in-
ternet. if religious zealots can do it, so can
disturbed individuals driven by more per-
sonal demons. even if gun laws managed
to keep all guns out of the hands of such
people (which is doubtful: The Tsarnaevs
illegally owned a gun), some would turn
to homemade weapons.
While Cassidy believes a gun attack on
the Boston Marathon could have killed a
lot more people, that is far from certain.
indeed, in an area packed with police, a
shooter might have been stopped almost
immediately.
Tighter background checks for gun pur-
chases may well be desirable. But they are
unlikely to stop terrifying acts of extreme
random violence.
Americas gun culture has its dark side,
some of it evident in post-Boston bombing
discussions: Pro-gun activist Kurt hoff-
man wrote on the examiner.com website
that the Tsarnaevs ability to shake the
security apparatus of the United states
shows that privately owned weapons can
still effectively protect against government
tyranny. responsible second Amendment
supporters should strongly reject such
odious rhetoric.
But we should also be wary of rhetoric
that turns a horric act of non-gun-related
mass violence into a pretext to denounce
guns and to demonize responsible gun
ownership.

OUR OPINION: COMMUNITY
Work together,
make a difference
e
ighT DAYs ago, on the
campus of Misericor-
dia University in Dallas
Township, college stu-
dents eagerly linked markers in
an effort to establish a guinness
Book of World records mark.
The effort was part of a spring-
Fest Weekend and a chance for
students there to do something
fun together. They succeeded on
all counts.
That same day the Pittston
YMCA held a healthy Kids Day
with a best Lemonade contest, a
precursor to a national Lemon-
ade Day scheduled for a week
later (yesterday). The national
event was started in Texas in
2007, the program now involves
an estimated 150,000 kids across
the U.s. and Canada as a fun way
to get them to understand how
to make, save and share money
- and have fun. All by making,
marketing and selling lemon-
ade. its a good guess that when
life hands these kids lemonade
theyll make it even better.
on Wednesday, students at
ross elementary school, part
of Lake-Lehman school District,
made their own effort at setting a
guinness world record by count-
ing and connecting 7,507 friend-
ship bracelets to measure 2,678
feet. They counted and tied and
measured and succeeded. Thats
a signicant accomplishment for
the 300-student school in ross
Township.
its all simple, fun stuff get-
ting young people involved, en-
gaged and working together to
accomplish a goal.
And where will that lead?
Likely to active adults.
on Thursday, dozens, scores,
maybe even hundreds of people
took part in a day of prayer held
at places of worship throughout
the area. it included a Circle the
square with Prayer event in Wil-
kes-Barre.
on Friday, dozens of people
gathered at the Thornhurst
Volunteer Fire station in Lacka-
wanna County to express their
thoughts about the path chosen
for a new power transmission
line. Many were unhappy with
the path of the new line; some
people supported the project as
a job creator.
Also on Friday, residents from
Kingston Township and West
Wyoming gathered in a re com-
pany station of the latter to raise
concerns about a gate station be-
ing proposed by Ugi Penn natu-
ral gas.
People together make a differ-
ence, even when they dont im-
mediately achieve the desired re-
sults. Because people make the
community.
Whether its and Adopt a Cop
benet in Wilkes-Barre or a
dance-a-thon at the JCC camp
in harveys Lake both are be-
ing held this weekend people
need to take part. They need to
learn at an early age to work in-
dependently and together to ac-
complish personal and commu-
nity goals. Those young people
at the lemonade stand and doing
the walks and dance-a-thons will
someday be the people engaged
in the bigger issues of the com-
munity. The people who debate
how we spend taxes, who gets
elected and where the infrastruc-
ture goes.
start them young, get them
involved and teach themwell be-
cause the issues never go away.

Another crack
at the filibuster
T
he U.s. senate did not
conduct any ofcial
business last week, so
the American people
have been at least temporar-
ily protected from its stultifying
refusal to represent them well.
But the senators will eventually
return and will resume block-
ing judicial nominees, convert-
ing budget disagreements into
crises and preventing the enact-
ment of even the most paltry
gun restrictions favored by the
overwhelming majority of Amer-
icans and the clear majority of
the senate itself.
This is not the rst time in its
history that the senate, by virtue
of its rules, has become an im-
pediment to the popular will. in-
deed, the founders intended it to
move more deliberately than the
house, and not all obstruction is
negative. But the combination
of a deepening partisan divide,
republican exploitation of the
rules and weak Democratic lead-
ership has converted the senate
from the worlds greatest delib-
erative body into a persistent
obstacle to sound government.
it need not be this way. The
senate makes its own rules, and
it can change them. Principally
at issue these days, of course, is
the libuster. To exercise a li-
buster once required a senator
or senators to physically hold
the oor and monopolize de-
bate, preventing a vote until the
other side either relented and
moved on to other business or
found the 60 votes necessary to
end the libuster.
Today, senators merely need
to threaten to libuster for the
majority to withdraw. That was
apparent during the gun-control
debate, when 54 senators, a ma-
jority, voted in favor of the bills
modest background check pro-
vision a measure that even
opponents acknowledged did
not upset the 2nd Amendment
because it did not limit any per-
sons right to own a gun but
that was not enough to over-
come the threat of a libuster.
in effect, the senate has
moved from the rare use of the
libuster to force deep consid-
eration on matters of special
signicance to its routine em-
ployment, creating a de facto
supermajority requirement for
almost all serious legislation. in
January, the leadership adopted
a few small procedures limit-
ing libusters to matters up for
debate and allowing members
of both parties to offer amend-
ments but stopped short of
forcing libustering senators to
actually hold the oor.
senators need to return to
their rules and amend them
again. if theyre unwilling to
abolish the libuster, they must
fashion limits that allow Ameri-
cans to be represented by their
senate, not thwarted by it.

qUOTE Of THE dAY
We havent lost hope in the spiritual world, that
theyll be able to provide us resources throughout
the year.
Peter Pino, administrator of Zia Pueblo near Bernalillo, N.M.
As a relentless drought continues to march across New Mexico and much of
the western half of the United States
Jason Collins scores for gay rights; now, whos next?
BooM.
And just like that,
history is made. Just
that quickly, a barrier
becomes rubble. Just that
fast, everything changes.
im a 34-year-old nBA
center, writes Jason
Collins in the May 6 edition of sports il-
lustrated. im black. And im gay.
Boom.
Chances are, you never heard of Collins
before this week. he is no Kobe or LeBron,
nor even a Jason Kidd or ray Allen. no,
he is a journeyman seven-footer who has
bounced between six teams over 12 years,
amassing a lifetime scoring average of 3.6
points a game.
Yet, he just changed everything, becom-
ing the rst active male athlete in one of
the big four professional sports to come
out as gay.
And it seems only tting that he makes
this history while multiplexes are show-
ing 42, an earnest recounting of the hell
Jackie robinson went through as the rst
African-American player in Major League
Baseball. not that Collins, assuming he
plays next season (he is a free agent), can
expect anything close to the catcalls, curs-
es and physical abuse robinson endured.
To the contrary, Collins announcement
has triggered supportive statements from
the likes of President obama, spike Lee,
Chelsea Clinton, shaquille oneal and
Dwyane Wade. The few dissenting voices
(Mike Wallace of the Miami Dolphins,
Chris Broussard of esPn) have been
largely shouted down.
While that paints an encouraging picture
of the progress weve made, one need only
glance into the darkness beyond the public
stage to realize that picture is incomplete.
Messages of hate for Collins are already
piling up online, as is this telling question:
Who cares?
some variation of that haunts pretty
much any online forum you care to visit
any time a public gure comes out. Let
AlecWest, whose remarks appear on a
new York Times web page, stand in for the
untold thousands who feel the same way.
he wrote: (W)ho gives a rats patoot
about the choice of someones sleeping
partner(s)? i admit that ive never un-
derstood the coming out phenomenon.
.?.?. i swear, the next time i hear some-
one making a public big deal over being
homosexual, ill have a T shirt printed that
reads, i like to sleep with WoMen! and
wear it in public.
There is something disingenuous about
the question, something that seeks to trivi-
alize, that pretends not to understand that
it is of milestones like these that change is
made. But of course, the people who ask
the question do understand. Thats the
whole point.
To be lesbian or gay in this country is
often still to be required to hide,
silently and in plain sight, as homopho-
bic slurs and gay-bashing laws rain down
around you.
it takes a particular kind of courage to
essentially raise your hand and voluntarily
leave the safety albeit the false safety
of your hiding place. Particularly if you
are a man.
not that it is a cakewalk to be a lesbian,
but to be a homosexual man is to tread,
inadvertently but emphatically, upon
that fault line of masculinity, identity and
sexual insecurity which so often character-
izes straight men.
Consider that, of 1,508 sexual orienta-
tion hate crimes in 2011, the FBi reports
that 57.8 percent were anti gay male, while
only 11.1 percent were anti lesbian.
so what Collins has done is brave and ir-
reducible. he has given gay male athlete
a face. he has stuck his chin out and dared
somebody to hit it. he has lit the fuse on
change.
This, one suspects, is what the Alec-
Wests, Chris Broussards and Mike Wal-
laces fear. Because the essence of that
change, the echo of the boom, is not found
in this one obscure athlete holding up his
hand and saying, i am gay.
no, the proof of the thing will be found
when, because of this, the next man steps
forward and says the words that seal the
change in stone.
Me, too.

Boston Marathon bombing a red herring in gun debate

A
hospital for the insane? A central district for the poor?
The time-worn plaque evokes a shudder when we con-
sider the bleak diagnoses that might have led people past
this sign. Still, we can hope they found some comfort, some
respite, some peace within the walls of the old almshouse.
Family time never ends when you stay with all of us
I recently visited my
wifes family in Mexico.
youll stay with us,
they said.
Which of you? I
asked.
All of us, they said.
At rst, I thought this
was a language barrier thing, the way these
particular relatives say, I love you too
much (translation: so much), or the way
they pronounce Meetch.
But as it turned out, when they said all
of us they actually meant all of us.
they live in the middle of Mexico city.
In a family compound.
I had never experienced this before. Four
families. Four houses. two attached on one
side, two on the other, joined by walls and
sharing a common inner courtyard with
a lawn and tables and a swing set for the
kids. Because you only can access this com-
mon area through the backs of the houses,
there is no reason to lock the back doors.
So they are always open.
the result is amazing. each family has
its own unique living space, totally differ-
ent decor, room sizes and layout, but you
only have to walk 40 feet from the sisters
place to the mothers place to the brothers
place, etc.
Its an island of family. the movement
between relatives is seamless. the aunts
kids are in the uncles kitchen, the uncles
kids in the grandmothers living room, the
grandmother is visiting her son-in-law, the
sound of music and laughter mixing is in
the middle.
Its such a loving, embracing environ-
ment, that inevitably, I wondered, Why
dont we live this way in the States?
And then I remembered.
We used to.
My grandparents always spoke of sharing
the same house with my aunts, uncles and
cousins. Most immigrant families doubled
and tripled up. When the 1930 census data
became available several years ago, people
were surprised to see how many of their
older relatives actually were located at the
same address.
Of course, this was largely economics.
not too many people back then could af-
ford their own place. It was smarter to pool
resources.
But not all of it was money. Some of it
was simply a desire to be close to family.
My parents spent the rst six years of their
marriage living with my grandmother and
uncle. thats why it took them so long to
have kids, they would joke.
But it was how things were done. And
there is something to be said about multi-
generational living. Maybe not when it
comes to sharing a bathroom. But in a lot
of other ways.
I watched my wifes Mexican cousins
walking arm-in-arm in the courtyard, the
aunts and uncles feeding the kids regard-
less of who belonged to whom. Someone
always had a spread of food out. no one
worried about making time for family
because there was always time.
As I age, that sentence seems precious.
According to the 2010 census, 4.4
percent of American households are multi-
generational. thats up from 3.7 percent
10 years earlier, or about 1 million house-
holds.
Im guessing it is because of the eco-
nomic downturn, foreclosures pushing
families under one roof. But itll be inter-
esting to see once we get used to having
grandmas and grandpas and cousins and
in-laws around, how fast people will want
to disengage.
to me, the Mexican model I witnessed
was enviable. to have your family just
across the way, but still be able to come
home to your own place? to never have to
hear that sentence, Gee, I wish we could
be there, but airfare is so expensive or
We hate to leave, but if we dont go now,
the trafc will be awful.
Weve spent decades squeezing more and
more in, while squeezing our family out.
We want all our needs served in one hand
phone, read, watch tV, surf the web
yet we settle for family being all over the
globe.
I remember my mother encouraging her
children to travel, see the world, dont stay
in our little town. But once we were older,
living half a world away, she lamented, I
wish I hadnt been so smart. then I would
see you more often.
She would have loved the Mexican
model. Keep your family close. Make an
island out of them. Stay with all of us.
What a concept, huh?

People-watching
yields an epiphany
O
n a recent trip to the Wyo-
ming Valley Mall and after a
little shopping, I bought a cup
of coffee and sat on one of the
benches. As most of us do in
such a situation, I observed the
different people walking by.
Its often been said watching
people come and go is an educa-
tion. As I sat there seeing the
people passing, noticeable were
the styles of dress; in particular,
the young and older ones.
Multi-style hairdos, colors,
lengths, braided, half-bald,
Mohawks, pony-tailed, shoulder-
length, etc. nothing decent.
Others with all types of body
piercings, tattoos, dirty looking,
facial hair of all sorts, sloppy
clothing, revealing bodies, etc.
nothing of a decent respectful
nature. All for attention.
My advice: Be careful of your
appearance and what you might
be advertising.
As I was sitting drinking my
coffee, I noticed a young man
approaching who seemed to
be different from those I just
described. He was dressed with
a nice sport shirt, neatly ironed,
khaki slacks with nice crease, a
pair of highly polished loafers,
clean shaven and neatly combed
style brown hair. He stopped in
front of a store opposite from
where I was seated.
Shortly, a young girl, neatly
dressed in a non-revealing
blouse, navy blue slacks, black
slippers, pretty face unblem-
ished and nicely groomed hair
style came out of the store and
greeted the young man with a
hug and little kiss.
they exchanged a few words
and holding hands, walked
away.
As I sat three I thought to
myself what a refreshing ap-
pearance this young couple
displayed in comparison to what
I had been witnessing.
I was so pleased to see this
young couple I began to reect
on how people dressed in the
past. todays style of dress is
on total contrast to the couple
I described. the neatly-dressed
couple at an earlier period were
the norm. By todays standards,
they are the odd couple.
In many areas of style, the
adults (parents) are just as bad
in todays society.
the solution? Prayer. Once
this nation turns back to God,
we will see a turnaround.

School food letter
prompts questions
O
n April 13, 2013, there was
a letter written by Mr. Seip
regarding obesity in the United
States and how our school
system may be a contributing
factor by allowing the food
industry to place soda/snack
vending machines throughout
the public school system.
Was money made from the
vending machines the reason
why? By the way, how was this
money used to improve the
school?
Mr. Seip, do you know how
the food industry was able to
put what is considered to be
junk foods into our school sys-
tems? How is the United States
Federal School Meal Program
contributing to Americas
obesity problem through the
meals they provide to Americas
children? Who monitored this
program? I heard that its get-
ting better than a french fry and
pizza diet mentality but I really
dont know how much better.
Maybe its time someone with
authority looked at what our
local school system is providing
to its students in addressing the
obesity problem.
can PtAs, school boards or
the federal government do this?
I read in the local paper that
statistics about the no child
left Behind initiative and the
results our local school have
achieved. can anyone tell me
how the no child left Behind
initiative has affected the
physical activity provided in our
schools and if this can also con-
tribute to the obesity program?
Better yet, maybe someone can
explain what factor our govern-
ment plays in providing and
enforcing the rules/laws they
have enacted with regard to the
national school meal program
and how the rules have evolved
regarding the nutritional stan-
dards that were adopted over
time to address the health of
American.
Did the food industry lobby
the federal agency which moni-
tors our national School Meal
Program? If so, did it have any
effect on the direction this fed-
eral program chose? Did con-
gress, the food industry, parents
and the American school system
drop the ball on the health of
Americas children?
I heard that our national
school meal program costs tax-
payers 9 billion dollars a year to
serve 30 million students while
the state of california spends
more to feed its prisoners. I
wonder who receives healthier
meals?

Theinevitableandspectacular
rise and fall of king Obama
FAte IS ckle,
power cyclical,
and nothing is
new under the
sun. especially
in Washington,
where after ev-
ery election the
losing party is sagely instructed
to confess sin, rend garments
and rethink its principles lest it
go the way of the Whigs. And
where the victor is hailed as the
new caesar, facing an open road
to domination.
And where Barack Obama,
already naturally inclined
to believe his own loftiness,
graciously accepted the kingly
crown and proceeded to ride his
re-election success to a crush-
ing victory over the GOP at the
scal cliff, leaving a humiliated
John Boehner & co. with noth-
ing but naked tax hikes.
thus emboldened, Obama
turned his inaugural address
into a left-wing dream factory,
from his declaration of war on
global warming (on a planet
where temperatures are the
same as 16 years ago and in a
country whose cO2 emissions
are at a 20-year low) to the
invention of new entitlements
e.g., universal preschool for
5-year-olds for a country
already drowning in debt.
to realize his dreams, Obama
sought to fracture and neutral-
ize the congressional GOP as a
prelude to reclaiming the House
in 2014. this would enable him
to fully enact his agenda in the
nal two years of his presidency,
usually a time of lame-duck
paralysis. Hail the Obama jug-
gernaut.
Well, that story excuse me,
narrative lasted exactly six
months. the Big Mo is gone.
It began with the sequester.
Obama never believed the
republicans would call his bluff
and let it go into effect. they
did.
taken by surprise, Obama
cried wolf, predicting the end of
everything we hold dear if the
sequester was not stopped. It
wasnt. nothing happened.
Highly embarrassed, and de-
termined to indeed make (bad)
things happen, the White House
refused republican offers to give
it more discretion in making
cuts. Bureaucrats were instruct-
ed to inict maximum pain from
minimal cuts, as revealed by
one memo from the Agriculture
Department demanding agency
cuts that the public would feel.
things began with the near-
comical cancellation of White
House tours and ended with
not-so-comical airline delays.
Obama thought furious pas-
sengers would blame the GOP.
But isnt the executive branch in
charge of these agencies? Who
thinks that a government spend-
ing $3.6 trillion a year cant cut
2 percent without furloughing
air trafc controllers?
looking not just incompetent
at managing budgets but cynical
for deliberately injuring the
public welfare, the administra-
tion relented. congress quickly
passed a bill giving Obama real-
location authority to restore air
trafc control. Having previous-
ly threatened to veto any such
bill, Obama caved. He signed.
not exactly Appomattox,
but coming immediately after
Obamas spectacular defeat
on gun control, it marked an
administration that had lost its
juice, to paraphrase a charm-
ing question at the presidents
news conference.
For Obama, gun control was
a political disaster. He invested
capital. He went on a multic-
ity tour. He paraded grieving
relatives. And got nothing. An
assault-weapons ban a simi-
lar measure had passed the con-
gress 20 years ago lost 60-40
in a Senate where Democrats
control 55 seats. Obama failed
even to get mere background
checks.
All this while appearing
passive, if not helpless, on the
world stage. On Syria, Obama
was nervously trying to erase
the WMD red line he had so
publicly established. On Beng-
hazi, he stonewalled accusations
that State Department ofcials
wishing to testify are being
blocked.
He was even taking heat for
the Boston bombings. every
day brings another revelation of
signals missed beforehand. And
his post-bombing pledge to hunt
down those responsible was
mocked by the scandalous Mi-
randizing of Dzhokhar tsarnaev,
gratuitously shutting down
information from the one person
who knows more than anyone
about possible still-existent
explosives, associates, trainers,
future plans, etc.
now, the screw will undoubt-
edly turn again. If immigration
reform passes, Obama will be
hailed as the comeback kid, and
a new Obama rising narrative
proclaimed.
this will overlook the fact
that immigration reform has
little to do with Obama and
everything to do with GOP
panic about the Hispanic vote.
In fact, Obama has been asked
by congressional negotiators to
stay away, so polarizing a gure
has he become.
nonetheless, whatever hap-
pens, the screw will surely turn
again, if only because of media
boredom. But thats the one
constant of Washington political
life: there are no straight-line
graphs. We live from inection
point to inection point.
And weve just experienced
one. From king of the world to
dead in the water in six months.
Quite a ride.

Alleged hit-and-run
driver irks reader
I
was appalled and shocked
with the seemingly relaxed
and almost indifferent attitude
shown by Mr. Letteer as he
walked out of the magistrates
ofce following his preliminary
hearing on April 29.
I cannot fathom how some-
one who has allegedly caused
such great pain and grief can
look so composed and almost
disconnected from the world
around him. I cried when I
read Mr. Millers accounting of
the last moments of his sons
life as I looked down at my
nearly 3-year-old son resting on
my lap. I cannot imagine, nor
would I even try, to understand
the pain the Miller family must
be feeling.
And before some ACLU sup-
porters give me a lecture on
innocent until proven guilty,
trial by his peers, etc., the pur-
pose of this letter is to say there
is one person who can clear
this all up and allow the Miller
family to add some closure for
their terrible loss. And that one
person is Mr. Letteer.
He alone knows the truth and
if he were an honorable man he
would stand up tall and tell the
truth. No stories, no twisting
of the facts, no hiding behind
nuances of the law, just tell
the truth. If he was not driving
the car then he almost surely
knows who was driving the car.
Tell the truth. If he was
driving the car, tell the truth,
and accept the consequences of
his actions. How can someone
look at the image in the mirror
or sleep at night knowing that
the truth will start the healing
process and stay silent?
Kevin Miller will never have
an adult life; he will never again
enjoy the feel of grass beneath
his feet, the joy of another
baseball game or the warmth of
the sun on his face.
You Mr. Letteer will after you
tell the truth and pay the conse-
quences of your actions.
Be a man Mr. Letteer, stand
before your fellow man as
opposed to cowering behind a
defense attorney, and tell the
truth.
Do not be so callous and self-
centered to drag the Miller fam-
ily through a court case where
they will have to relive that
horrible night all over again.
Be a man and tell the truth.

Privatization wrong
for many reasons
A
recent editorial in my area
called for selling of the Penn-
sylvania Wine and Spirit Stores
as a way to solve the states
budget decit. I think this is a
bad idea. Lawmakers in Harris-
burg have plenty of challenges
ahead of them. Dismantling the
Wine and Spirit Stores isnt one
of them.
Right now, the state gener-
ates revenue more than $500
million a year from the sale
of wine and spirits, including
$100 million in prots. How
will we make up that loss in
revenue? Higher taxes, anyone?
Governor Corbetts scheme,
just like all past privatization
plans, calls for major increase
in liquor licenses.
We should think about the
potential negative impact in our
communities of the prolifera-
tion of privately-operated liquor
stores.

These good, family-sustain-

minimum wage jobs with no
benets, hardly a step in the
right direction for Pennsylva-
nia.
Karen Reese-Warner
Stroudsburg
AMeRICA is
in the midst
of an energy
renaissance
thats trans-
forming entire
communities.
Consider
Karnes County, Texas. A few
years ago, the community was
plagued by poverty. Today,
its not uncommon for local
residents to collect $70 million
each month in royalties for
allowing energy companies to
drill on their land. The wealth
has increased the countys
tax base almost six-fold in
two years. Last year, over $15
billion in royalty checks were
paid to private landowners by
energy companies in Texas
alone.
The energy and economic
boom in the Lone Star State is
largely the result of hydraulic
fracturing popularly known
as fracking a process
that enables the extraction of
previously intractable natural
gas and oil reserves. A solution
that is 99.5 percent sand and
water, with a few trace chemi-
cals, is pumped underground at
high pressure to break up rock
formations. Aside from Texas,
many other areas of the country
including large swaths of the
Midwest and Northeast, as well
as North Dakota are also
beneting from fracking.
But in spite of the economic
gains, radical environmental-
ists have bombarded the public
with misinformation about
fracking. Its time to debunk
some of these false claims.
Claim 1: Fracking will
contaminate the underground
water supply.
Subsurface contamination
from fracking is almost impos-
sible. Fracking involves the in-
jection of liquid 7,000 to 15,000
feet underground far deeper
than drinking water aquifers,
which are often about 300 feet
below the surface. Last year, an
exhaustive University of Texas
study done by the former head
of the U.S. Geological Survey
looked into alleged incidents of
fracking contamination. None
of the water well claims involve
hydraulic fracturing uid
additives, and none of these
constituents has been found
by chemical testing of water
wells, the study concluded.
A popular, Oscar-nominated
documentary, Gasland, shows
landowners in Colorado light-
ing their water taps on re and
blaming fracked wells nearby.
But Colorado regulators had
already determined the actual
cause was naturally occurring
biogenic methane, unrelated to
fracking. In fact, the Colorado
Oil and Gas Conservation Com-
mission felt compelled to put
out a press release to correct
several errors in the lm.
Claim #2: Fracking does lots
of damage to the land surround-
ing a drilling rig.
Drilling operations do in-
volve trucks, heavy equipment,
and facilities to store waste and
other byproducts. However, any
impact on the surface is easily
restored, and waste products
are very carefully disposed of.
Increasingly, the waste prod-
ucts are recycled for use in
other wells or converted to de-
icing agents and distilled water.
Fears have also been raised
about surface spills involving
fracking uids. Not only are
such spills rare, the fracking
uid involved is almost entirely
water. Any harmful chemicals
are used at such low concentra-
tions that environmental dam-
age would be negligible. John
Hickenlooper, the Democratic
Governor of Colorado, recently
told Congress hes so con-
dent fracking uid is safe that
he drank some of it. At least
one energy company has even
developed fracking uid that is
sourced from the food services
industry.
Claim #3: Fracking causes
earthquakes.
Last year, Congress asked the
National Research Council to
study the relationship between
fracking and earthquakes. ev-
ery year, there are about 14,450
naturally occurring earthquakes
worldwide of magnitude 4.0
or greater. According to the
National Research Council,
just 154 earthquakes over the
past 90 years have been the
result of manmade activity. Of
those, only 60 were in the U.S.,
and nearly all were moderate
to small. The Councils report
concluded that fracking is
extremely unlikely to cause
earthquakes.
Claim #4: Fracking needs to
be federally regulated.
Since it was introduced in the
1940s, fracking has been used
to extract oil and gas in Ameri-
ca over one million times. Over
the past 70 years, fracking has
only been regulated at the state
level and has an unimpeachable
safety record. An ePA study
conrmed fracking was safe
and adequately regulated by
the states in 2004. States are
stepping up and doing a good
job [regulating fracking], said
former environmental Protec-
tion Agency (ePA) Administra-
tor Lisa Jackson, who stepped
down from President Obamas
cabinet in January.
even one of the nations
largest environmental groups
admits that federal regulation
of fracking isnt necessary.
environmental Defense Fund
Senior Policy Adviser Scott
Anderson told the energy and
environment program in 2010:
The states actually have a lot
of knowledge and experience
in regulating well construction
and operation. We think that
states have every reason to be
able to tackle this issue and do
it well. Its worth noting that
the environmental Defense
Fund is a strong proponent of
the economic and environmen-
tal benets of natural gas, and
of the use of fracking tech-
niques.
Its clear that new energy
sources are required to meet
Americas needs and reduce
dependence on foreign oil. Its
further estimated that fracking
will lead to $2 trillion in U.S.
capital investments through
2035. This resource boom is
also a rich source of jobs. In
2011 alone, the oil and gas in-
dustry supported an impressive
9.6 million jobs. every commu-
nity in America stands to gain
from fracking, and despite what
detractors say, theres almost no
downside.

Advertising Projects Writer
Located on 10 acres, this
Clarks Summit ranch home offers
4,094 square feet of living space.
Listed by Ann and Michael Cappellini
of Realty Network Group for $774,000
this home features a center hall foyer,
central vac, den/office, fireplace,
kitchen island, and master bedroom
with bath suite.
A private driveway leads to the
front of the home and an attached 3-
car garage. Gardens and a beautifully
maintained lawn compliment the
brick exterior of the home.
A brick walkway leads to the front
entry of the home. Double doors
open up to an immaculate center hall
foyer. An elegant hanging light
fixture compliments the space.
Double doors lead to a private 19x18
dining room with tiled floors and
elegant ceilings, perfect for
entertaining guests, formally or just
for fun. A large, front-facing window
compliments the space.
Across from the dining room are
French paneled doors that lead to a
19 x18 office/den space. This room
has carpeted floors and two entries. A
large window overlooks the front of
the home.
Through the foyer is a spacious
34.5x25 living room. The space is
carpeted throughout and has vaulted
ceilings with two ceiling fans and
recessed lighting. A large, stone
faced fireplace is a focal point in the
room. Adjacent from the fireplace is
a bar for entertainment.
Two sets of double doors lead to a
phenomenal patio area. This space
overlooks the backyard and wooded
area. 3 outdoor ceiling fans keep the
space cool during the warmer
months and abundant lighting is
available for entertaining guests any
time of the day.
Through the living room is a
19.5x18 eat-in, modern kitchen. This
room has tiled floors and ample
cupboards for kitchen storage. A
window above the kitchen sink offers
a view of the backyard and patio area.
Also, there is a centered island for
added seating. Sliding doors through
the kitchen also lead to the patio
area.
Near the kitchen is a 10.5x9
laundry room with tiled floors. This
space has a utility sink and extra
space for laundry or other storage.
Through the hallway near the
laundry room is a modern half
bathroom with tiled floors. A side
entrance to the home and access to
the garage are a few steps away.
