NEW ORLEANS
Floods spread Asian carp
W
hile scientists have been battling
to keep a ravenous, invasive fish
species out of the Great Lakes, some
worry that spring floods along the
Mississippi River may be spreading the
Asian carp downstream.
Duane Chapman, a U.S. Geological
Survey biologist and Asian carp expert,
says the fish are likely to show up in
places where Mississippi floodwaters
intruded. They can weigh up to 100
pounds, grow 4 feet long and live for 25
years.
They could be crowding out food
sources of native species for decades.
I think there is a very serious issue
here, said Chapman. We may now be
finding them in lakes, ponds, bayous,
anywhere the river water went. Those
things will be full of carp now.
Asian carp is a term applied to sever-
al related species of carp that were
brought to the United States in the
1970s to control algae in catfish farms
in the South. Floods washed them into
the Mississippi River in the 1980s.
RININAHUE, CHILE
Volcano closes airports
Steaming rivers filled with hot ash,
rocks, and rain threatened to overflow
their banks in southern Chile on Friday
and ash clouds from a volcano that
began erupting nearly a week ago kept
major airports closed across much of
the southern part of the continent.
In towns bordering the Cordon
Caulle volcano, authorities warned that
rivers were about to flood due to the
large amounts of ash and volcanic rock
that have fallen in them and heavy
rains that have doused the area of
southern Chile.
About 3,500 residents had been
evacuated, and 500 of them were still
in shelters Friday. Authorities were
seeking legal permission Friday to
evacuate a dozen more who refused to
leave their property and animals be-
hind.
MOGADISHU, SOMALIA
Explosion kills minister
An explosion Friday in the home of
Somalias interior minister killed him
and a woman suspected of being a
bomber as violent demonstrations
swept the capital.
Security guards and soldiers opened
fire on stone-throwing protesters angry
at an agreement calling for the ouster
of the countrys popular prime minis-
ter, killing two people, an official and
witnesses said.
Interior Minister Abdishakur Sheik
Hassan, who also was minister for
national security, died after shrapnel
hit his legs and other parts of his body,
said Ministry of Information spokes-
man Abdifatah Abdinur. He was earlier
taken to a hospital in critical condition.
CHICAGO
First day deliberating ends
Jurors at the retrial of ousted Illinois
Gov. Rod Blagojevich have gone home
after their first few hours of deliber-
ations.
The jury began deliberations earlier
Friday after receiving copies of jury
instructions. Closing arguments wrap-
ped up Thursday.
The judge also told attorneys he
couldnt guess how long the jury might
take to reach a decision.
At the first trial, jurors took two
weeks and then deadlocked on all but
one charge. There are 20 counts
against the former governor at the
second trial.
Even before jurors can get into the
nitty-gritty of the charges, they have
other business to finish such as elect-
ing a foreman and organizing their
notes from six weeks of testimony.

JUNEAU, Alaska Alaska officials
on Friday released thousands of pages
of Sarah Palins emails from her first 21
months as governor, giving a fresh
glimpse of her as she struggled with
gossip about her family before she rose
to national prominence as the GOP vice
presidential nominee.
Reporters and photographers crowd-
ed into a small office to pick up the six
boxes of emails 24,199 pages and
weighing 100 pounds. Some carried
boxes down the stairs and others,
wheeling them on dollies, scrambled to
be the first ones to reach elevators.
Within minutes of the release, Palin
tweeted a link to the webpage for The
Undefeated, a documentary about her
rise and time as governor.
TimCrawford, thetreasurer of her po-
litical action committee, Sarah PAC,
said in a statement that everyone
should read the emails. The thousands
upon thousands of emails released to-
day show a very engaged Governor Sa-
rahPalinbeingthe CEOof her state, he
said.
The emails detail a Governor hardat
work, he said.
In the months before she was named
the vice presidential nominee, Palins
emails showed a governor dealing with
complaints, rumors and gossip about
her family.
In several, she asks about the identity
of someone who alleged that she had
not buckled her son, Trig, properly into
his car seat.
In another, she laments about gossip
about her family and marriage. Palin
and her daughter, Bristol, appear to be
traveling in a car, and Bristol emails a
Palin staffer in July 2008: Mom and I
were just praying about the hurt and an-
ger that comes with her job. Thank you
for your faith in God.
We share it and we love you! Bristol
wrote, fromher mothers personal email
account.
Palin resigned partway through her
first term, in early July 2009. Requests
also have been made for Palins final 10
months in office. State officials havent
begun reviewing those records. Sharon
Leighow, the spokeswoman for Gov.
Sean Parnell, said she doubted the re-
lease of those emails would come soon.

JOPLIN, Mo. The death
toll from the tornado that de-
stroyed much of Joplin has
risen to 151, and three of the
latest victims suffered from a
rare fungal infection that can
occur when dirt becomes em-
bedded under the skin, au-
thorities said Friday.
Jasper County Coroner Rob
Chappel said the three had
been hospitalized with the
unusually aggressive infec-
tion sometimes found in sur-
vivors of other natural disas-
ters. He said it was difficult
to identify the fungus as a
cause of death since the peo-
ple infected also suffered oth-
er severe injuries.
These people had multiple
traumas, pneumonia, all
kinds of problems, said Dr.
Uwe Schmidt, an infectious
disease specialist at Freeman
Health System in Joplin. Its
difficult to say how much the
fungal infections contributed
to their demise.
Schmidt said his hospital
treated five Joplin tornado
victims for the infection,
known as zygomycosis (zy-
goh-my-KOH-sihs).
Jacqueline Lapine, a spo-
keswoman for the Missouri
Department of Health and Se-
nior Services, said the depart-
ment has received reports of
eight suspected deep-skin
fungal infections among sur-
vivors of the May 22 twister.
She said all of the victims had
suffered multiple injuries and
developed secondary wound
infections.

town is 25 miles east of Jisr al-Shughour,
where the Syrian military launched a ma-
jor operation Friday against anti-govern-
ment protesters and mutinous security
forces.
Syrias state-run television says gun-
men opened fire on police stations in
Maaret al-Numan, causing casualties
among security officials.

BEIRUTSyrian activists say dozens
of people have been killed or injured in
heavy shelling by Syrian tanks in a north-
ern town.
An activist group, the Local Coordina-
tion Committees, says the attack oc-
curred Friday in the town of Maaret al-
of President Bashar Assad.
Across the country, crowds undaunted
by the crackdown in Jisr al-Shughour
and elsewhere began to gather for renew-
ed protests after prayers. Activists said
security forces shot and killed two peo-
ple at a protest in the southern province
of Daraa, and one person at a demonstra-
tion in suburban Damascus, the capital.
Thousands of residents who have fled
into Turkey have depicted a week of re-
volt and mayhem in Jisr al-Shughour,
saying Syrian police turned their guns on
each other and soldiers shed their uni-
forms rather than fire on protesters.

SPRINGERVILLE, Ariz. A
massive wildfire in eastern Ari-
zona that has claimed more
than 30 homes and forced near-
ly than 10,000 people to evac-
uateis likelytospreadintoNew
Mexicosoon, threateningmore
towns and possibly endanger-
ing two major power lines that
bring electricity from Arizona
to West Texas.
The fire has now burned 639
square miles of forest, an in-
crease of 114 square miles from
a day earlier, officials said Fri-
day.
Lighters winds Thursday
and Friday have helped the
3,000 firefighters on the lines
make progress, but critical fire
conditions remain, said Jim
Whittington, a spokesman for
the teams battling the fire.
High winds are expected to re-
turn with a vengeance on Sat-
urday.
We have until then to get as
much work as we can done and
get to the point where we can
sit back and watch the winds
come and do what we have to
then, Whittington said.
Fire crews plan to try to
strengthen what lines theyve
been able to establish and con-
tinue burning out forested ar-
eas in front of the main fire to
trytostopits advance. It was of-
ficially just 5 percent contained
Friday, but the actual numbers
are likely higher, Whittington
said.
The advances came on the
north side of the fire, near two
large towns at the edge of the
forest that have been evacuat-
ed.

Yudichak said those cuts dont
make good business sense, as
they would hinder economic
growth in the short-term and
lead to a rise in emergency room
visits in the long run.
You often hear in the rhetoric
(that) weve got to run the gov-
ernment like a business, Yudi-
chak said. Well, any business
doesnt just cut for the sake of
cutting, they cut to reposition
themselves for the sake of
growth.
Together, the Geisinger and
Wyoming Valley Health Care
Systems employ more than 5,000
workers, placing them among
the regions top employers. The
areas aging population will also
place hospitals in higher demand
in coming years, and many area
doctors are approaching retire-
ment.
Dr. Steven Pierdon, chief med-
ical officer of Geisinger North-
east, said more than 30 percent
of doctors in Luzerne County are
over the age of 60. Wyoming Val-
ley Healthcare System Chief Ex-
ecutive Officer Cornelio R. Cate-
na added that hospitals need rev-
enue to attract new doctors, who
often demand relocation pay-
ments, to the area.
You have to look at this bud-
get through the prism of job cre-
ation, Yudichak said. Will job
cuts to hospitals help in this re-
covery? I doubt that.
Representatives fromarea hos-
pitals, which also included Blue
Mountain Health Systemand the
Greater Hazleton Health Alli-
ance, said the cuts will curtail
their ability to make needed
physical plant and technology
improvements and may force
them to cut valuable community
services.
Blue Mountain Director of
Fund Development Joseph
Guardiani said it lost a traveling
dental van, which provides
dental care to children on med-
ical assistance programs in Car-
bon County. Hazleton Health Al-
liance Grants and Government
Relations Director Mary Malone
said that system may need to cut
a hospital shuttle for senior citi-
zens.
So now how do those seniors
get that service that they need?
Theyre going to be coming by
ambulance and a lot sicker, she
said.
Brian Eury of the Hospital and
Health System Alliance of Penn-
sylvania said the legislators
should focus on eliminating a
provision in the state budget that
would roll Medicare and Medi-
caid reimbursements to hospi-
tals from 89 cents on the dollar
to 83 cents. Eury said the provi-
sion would be enough to put
many hospitals operating on
slim profit margins back in the
red.
Yudichak added that he would
do his best to block a proposal to
redirect more than $300 million
in annual revenue froma 2001to-
bacco-industry settlement into
the general fund.

day overseas journey.
Gates has made no secret of
his frustration with NATO bu-
reaucracy and the huge restric-
tions many European govern-
ments placed on their military
participation in the Afghanistan
war. He ruffled NATO feathers
early in his tenure with a direct
challenge to contribute more
front-line troops that yieldedfew
contributions.
Even so, Gates assessment
Fridaythat NATOisfallingdown
on its obligations and foisting
toomuchof thehardworkonthe
U.S. was unusually harshandun-
varnished. He said both of NA-
TOs main military operations
now Afghanistan and Libya
point up weaknesses and fail-
ures within the alliance.
The blunt reality is that there
will be dwindling appetite and
patience in the U.S. Congress
andinthe Americanbody politic
writ large to expend increas-
ingly precious funds on behalf of
nations that are apparently un-
willing to devote the necessary
resources or make the necessary
changes to be serious and capa-
ble partners in their own de-
fense, he said.
Without naming names, he
blasted allies who are willing
and eager for American tax-
payers toassumethegrowingse-
curity burden left by reductions
in European defense budgets.
TheU.S. has tens of thousands
of troops based in Europe, not to
stand guard against invasion but
to train with European forces
and promote what for decades
has been lacking: the ability of
the Europeans to go to war
alongside the U.S. in a coherent
way.
Thewar inAfghanistan, which
is being conducted under NATO
auspices, is a prime example of
U.S. frustration at European in-
abilitytoprovidetherequiredre-
sources.
Despite more than 2 million
troops in uniform, not counting
the U.S. military, NATO has
struggled, at times desperately,
to sustain a deployment of
25,000 to 45,000 troops, not just
in boots on the ground, but in
crucial support assets such as
helicopters, transport aircraft,
maintenance, intelligence, sur-
veillance and reconnaissance,
and much more, Gates said.
Gates, a career CIA officer
who rose to become the spy
agencys director from 1991 to
1993, is retiring on June 30 after
4
1
2 years as Pentagon chief. His
designated successor, Leon Pa-
netta, is expectedtotakeover Ju-
ly 1.
For manyAmericans, NATOis
a vague concept tied to a bygone
era, atimewhentheworldfeared
a Soviet land invasion of Europe
that could have escalated to nu-
clear war. But withthe demise of
the Soviet Union in 1991, NA-
TOs reason for being came into
question. It has remained intact
and even expanded from 16
members at the conclusion of
the Cold War to 28 today.
But reluctance of some Eu-
ropean nations to expand de-
fense budgets and take on direct
combat has created what
amounts to a two-tier alliance:
the U.S. military at one level and
the rest of NATO on a lower, al-
most irrelevant plane.
Gates said this could spell the
demise of NATO.
What Ive sketched out is the
real possibility for a dim, if not
dismal future for the trans-Atlan-
tic alliance, he said. Such a fu-
ture is possible, but not inevita-
ble. The good news is that the
members of NATO individual-
ly and collectively have it well
withintheir means tohalt andre-
verse these trends and instead
produce a very different future.
Gates has said he believes NA-
TO will endure despite its flaws
and failings. But his remarks Fri-
day point to a degree of Ameri-
can impatience with traditional
and newer European allies that
in coming years could lead to a
reordering of U.S. defense prior-
ities in favor of Asia and the Pa-
cific, where the rise of China is
becoming a predominant con-
cern.
To illustrate his concerns
about Europes lack of appetite
for defense, Gatesnotedthediffi-
culty NATO has encountered in
carrying out an air campaign in
Libya.
The mightiest military alli-
ance in history is only 11 weeks
into an operation against a poor-
ly armed regime in a sparsely
populated country, yet many al-
lies are beginning to run short of
munitions, requiring the U.S.,
once more, tomake upthe differ-
ence, he said.

Some might call it a gas geta-
way.
A group backed by natural-gas
producers is offering its support-
ers in Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia an all-expenses paid trip to a
federal hearing near Pittsburgh
that concerns the
controversial proc-
ess of hydraulic
fracturing.
Tom Shepstone,
campaign manager
for Energy in
Depth, emailed supporters in
Northeastern Pennsylvania and
Central New York on Thursday
offering bus transportation, one
night in a hotel, meals and, in
select cases, airfare for those
willing to attend the Monday
meeting of the Natural Gas Sub-
committee of the Secretary of
Energys Advisory Board.
The subcommittee will meet
Monday at Washington Jefferson
College in Washington, Wash-
ington County about 30 miles
south of Pittsburgh. The sub-
committee is charged with iden-
tifying immediate steps to im-
prove the safety and environ-
mental performance of hydraulic
fracturing and developing best
practices that ensure protection
of public health and the environ-
ment.
Some have linked drinking wa-
ter contamination and other en-
vironmental ills to hydraulic
fracturing, a process in which
thousands of gallons of water,
sand and some chemicals are in-
jected into underground shale
formations to break up rock and
release natural gas trapped with-
in.
Shepstone, of Wayne County,
said his group offered the incen-
tive to keep step with anti-drill-
ing groups, who also bus in sup-
porters from afar to pack public
hearings. A meeting he recently
attended in rural upstate New
York was filled with activists
from Philadelphia and New York
City, he said.
(Supporters of Marcellus

of her films musical composi-
tions.
Weworkedtogether onalot of
projects. I did the music for many
of her films. We did a number of
teaching residencies together
working usually with kids to
makeashort animatedfilmwitha
soundtrack. We worked in Den-
ver, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexi-
co, New Hampshire and Massa-
chusetts.
And while a busy work sched-
ule may have been detrimental to
other relationships, the inde-
pendence Field and Karen shared
bondedtheir marriageevendeep-
er.
Besides her friends and fam-
ily, work really gave her pleasure
inlife. Shewas reallyluckyinthat
she did what she wanted. She
would change
nothing on how
shelivedduring
her illness. She
loved doing her
work, making
film, drawing
and doing art.
According to
the Boston Her-
ald, Ms. Aqua
completed 11
independently
produced ani-
matedfilmsand
one collaborative animation/live
action video. Her award-winning
films have been screened world-
wide, at festivals in Europe, Asia,
North and South America, New
Zealand and the Middle East.
Sesame Street work
Her website, www.KarenAqua-
.com, says since 1990, she has
produced, directed, and animat-
ed 22 segments for the acclaimed
Sesame Street television pro-
gram.
But through the last stages of
her illness, her chance to finish
her last filmafter Twist of Fate,
an abstract viewon illness visual-
ized in an internal world inside
the body, was growing uncertain.
Once she finished that film
(Twist of Fate), she didnt want
that to be her last, said Field.
She really worked very hard on
finishing her last film Taxono-
my, and it screened three weeks
before she died. It is a lovely film.
It is based on things she saw
through other parts of the coun-
try; thingsdemonstratingtheuni-
ty of things. She loved to trans-
formonethingintoanotherinher

not in compliance with federal
law, according to FTA Assistant
Chief Counsel Kerry Miller.
Finan testified Friday that dur-
ing a face-to-face meeting with
Cordaro in the summer of 2005,
hewas toldtoaskKimball tostep
away fromthe project. In an Aug.
5, 2005 letter to the Edensburg-
based firm, Finan wrote that the
decision to work solely with
Highland was a more monetary
and common sense issue than a
reflection on Kimballs work.
The project had come to a
standstill, according to Kimball
Senior Vice President of Corpo-
rate Sales Lawrence Bickford.
Given the direction and
course of the project, it was tak-
ing up file space, Kimball said
under cross examination from
Jerry Johnson, co-counsel for
Cordaro. We were getting no
revenue from the project We
were ready to move on.
The prosecution, however, al-
leges that executives from High-
land gave Munchak two pay-
ments of $30,000 each and Cor-
daro a third payment of $30,000
out of fear they would lose exist-
ing and future county contracts.
Pasonick testifies
Michael Pasonick, the Lu-
zerne County engineer who
pleaded guilty in an unrelated
federal bribery case in April, said
he made payments to a number
of people in political office, in-
cluding Cordaro.
Pasonick alleged that during a
December 2003 fundraiser at
Glenmaura National Golf Club,
Cordaro told him, You werent
supportive of me financially, but
we can change that.
The 69-year-old testified that
he gave more than$9,000incam-
paign contributions along with
two cash payments of $1,000
each to Cordaro inside his sixth-
floor county offices, but when he
didnt maintain existing work on
a county watershed project or at
the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton In-
ternational Airport, he stopped
giving.
I was prepared to give him
$1,000, Pasonick said of a May
5, 2004 meeting. He said I
couldnt get any more work, so I
didnt hand it over.
Joseph Martin Ferrario, trea-
surer of Hennigan-Ferrario, Inc.,
saidhe felt the cashdonations he
handed to Cordaros brother,
Ron, were honest contributions
to a friend who he grew up with
in Dunmore.
Ferrario also testified that he
didnt knowif his donations ever
reached the former commission-
ers hands.
In January 2004, Ferrario said,
hewas calledtoRobert Cordaros
office regarding Hennigan-Ferra-
rios administration of the coun-
tys workers compensationfund.
We hada discussionabout my
partnering with Charles Costan-
zo in order to keep the business,
he said.
The deal was either to partner
with Cordaros friend, who was
convicted in 2009 of stealing
more than $600,000 from the
fund, or give up the business.
Months later, Ferrario said, Cos-
tanzo formed a new group to
oversee the fund.
Louis Costanzo, president of
L.R. Costanzo, said he financial-
ly supported the campaign of
Munchak and Cordaro because
of a personal relationship with
Munchak.
We felt it was time for a
change in the county, he added.
Costanzo said Friday that he
gave $2,500 in cash to Munchak
at the firms Main Avenue offices
in Scranton and later held a fun-
draiser at his sons Clarks Sum-
mit home in their support. An-
other $2,500 cash donation was
given on top of $7,500 raised
through the event.
Restrictions on donations
Costanzo said he was unaware
and was not informed by Mun-
chak of campaign finance laws
that restrict cash donations of
more than $100.
It wasnt an act of extortion?
Cordaros attorney, William Cos-
topoulos asked.
No, Costanzo replied.
It wasnt an act of bribery on
your part?
No, he said again.
Campaign contributions from
Costanzo and his partners to-
taled $23,250 from2006 to 2007,
according to Assistant U.S. At-
torney William Houser. The
prosecution alleges those cash
and campaign finance payments
were intended to secure work
with Lackawanna County, in-
cluding the renovation of the
county courthouse and sur-
rounding grounds.
Cordaro said he was left disap-
pointed at the end of the first
week of the public corruption
trial.
Its disappointing to see peo-
ple that you knew in one way or
another and after they enter into
an agreement with the govern-
ment, they come up with a sto-
ry, Cordaro said while leaving
court on Friday. We certainly
hope that the jury is watching
closely.
The trial resumes Monday in
Scranton.

ATLANTA Callista Gin-
grich has been a near constant
presence at her husbands side, a
visible symbol that the twice-di-
vorced House speaker is now a
devoted family man.
But Gingrichs thirdwife alsois
being cited by people close to
him as a key factor in the staff re-
volt that has left his presidential
campaign on life support.
At least 16 aides and advisers
abandoned the Gingrich cam-
paign on Thursday, an unprece-
dented exodus that has cast
doubt on his viability as a conten-
der for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination. Gingrich has
pledged to push forward with his
campaign and is set to offer a for-
eign policy address to a Jewish
Republican group in Los Angeles
on Sunday. Its a speech that Gin-
grich hopes will reset his White
House bid, and its a near certain-
ty that his wife will accompany
him.
In the implosions aftermath,
officials close to the Gingrich
campaign privately pointed fin-
gers at Callista Gingrich as the
sourceof thetensionbetweenher
husband and his staff. They say
she exerted enormous influence
on the former House speaker,
controlling his schedule and en-
couraging him to disappear on a
luxury cruise in the Greek Isles
just weeks after he got into the
race. That trip was the final
straw, for some, who pleaded
with him not to go.
As criticism mounted, the can-
didate defended his wifes invol-
vement, saying that the two of
them make decisions as a cou-
ple.

HERSHEY The Pennsylva-
nia State Police on Friday be-
stowed the departments high-
est honor on a trooper who re-
sponded when a fellow officer
was gunned down by a suicidal
man while they were investigat-
ing a reported domestic dispute
in western Pennsylvania last
year
Trooper Jason Whitman,
based in Fran-
klin, was one
of four troop-
ers who re-
ceived the
State Police
Medal of Hon-
or in a ceremo-
ny at the State
Police Acade-
my in Hershey
led by Com-
missioner
Frank Noonan.
About 150
friends, rela-
tives and col-
leagues lis-
tened to testi-
monials by the
troopers and
their superiors
that brought
tears and
laughter. From
time to time, the speeches were
punctuated by the crackle of ca-
dets practicing on a nearby fir-
ing range, a somber reminder of
the risks that go with the badge.
On Jan. 13, 2010, Whitman
and Trooper Paul Richey were
approaching a house in Venango
County when Richey was struck
in the neck by a rifle shot. Whit-
man, a member of the state po-
lice Special Emergency Re-
sponse Team, returned fire, ra-
dioed for help and provided first
aid to Richey, who had volun-
teered to go along because hed
had previous contact with the
gunman.
Three other troopers, who re-
ceived commendation medals
Friday, provided cover fire while
Richey was recovered and taken
by ambulance to a hospital, but
he died a short time later. The
gunman also killed his wife be-
fore taking his own life.
Whitman said Richey person-
ified heroism.
Paul Richey is my hero,
Whitman said, adding that he
accepted the award as tribute to
all troopers who have paid the
ultimate price.
Others who received the top
medal included troopers Jeffrey
Hummel and Kurt Salak, based
in Schuylkill Haven, who risked
their lives by braving raging
flood waters in March in an ulti-
mately unsuccessful attempt to
rescue a man from his sub-
merged vehicle.
Trooper Harry Gustafson Jr.,
based in New Castle, received
the top honor for the off-duty
rescue of a friend while they
were fishing on Lake Erie last
August. After their boats motor
failed and waves capsized the
vessel, Gustafson used various
means to keep his friends head
above water for nearly four
hours until another boat spotted
and rescued them.
Raymond Judge, based in Be-
thlehem, was named Trooper of
the Year for his dedication and
investigative abilities that were
key to winning convictions in
several major murder cases.
There was so much going
on. It was overwhelming at
times, Judge said of 2010. But
everyone pulled together and I
think we did what we wanted to
do, and that is find justice for
the victims and the families of
the victims.
A retired sergeant formerly
based in Monroe County, Rob-
ert Castner, was among those
receiving commendation med-
als. Castner was honored for
stopping a vehicle that was be-
ing driven in the wrong direc-
tion on Interstate 380 by a 71-
year-old man who had suffered
a stroke in July. Castner used
his unmarked police car to force
the other vehicle off the high-
way and stop.

WASHINGTON Two high-
profile Pennsylvania Democrats
this week called for embattled
New York Democrat Anthony
Weiner to resign, but Weiner
said Thursday he has no inten-
tion of leaving Congress.
Since Monday night when
Weiner shocked the political
world with his admission that
hed sent inappropriate photos
of himself to women hed met on
the Internet, the unraveling of
the story has dominated the
weeks news cycle.
Allyson Schwartz, who repre-
sents the Philadelphia suburbs,
was the highest-ranking Demo-
crat in Congress to publicly
voice that Weiner should resign.
Schwartz heads candidate
recruiting for congressional
Democrats.
"Having the respect of your
constituents is fundamental for
a member of Congress," she
said. "In light of Anthony Wein-
ers offensive behavior online, he
should resign."
Schwartz was not in Washing-
ton when news of a lewd photo
sent to a Seattle woman from
Weiners Twitter account first
broke at the end of May she
was at her fathers funeral in
New York.
She told the Philadelphia In-
quirer on Wednesday: "I had a
very individual, personal reac-
tion. Maybe its because I was
hearing about it as other Amer-
icans were hearing it, unfiltered
by conversations with col-
leagues."
Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed
Rendell also called on Weiner to
quit, telling Chris Matthews on
MSNBCs "Hardball" that the
congressman should seek pro-
fessional help.
"What I think Anthony Wein-
er should do is, he still has a lot
to offer, he should resign, he
should get treatment and I
mean real treatment, maybe in-
patient treatment," Rendell
said. "If he can rehabilitate him-
self, can he someday down the
road in New York run for office?
Maybe, maybe. But hes got tore-
sign. He owes it to the party, he
owes it toCongress, andhe owes
it to the issues he fought for."
Onlyahandful of Weiners oth-
er colleagues have called for his
resignation, although its been
reported that privately many
have asked that he step down.
Weiner told the New York
Post on Thursday he had no
plans to resign. "I betrayed a lot
of people and I know it. Im try-
ing to get back to work now and
try to make amends to my con-
stituents and of course to my
family," Weiner told the newspa-
per on the streets of Manhattan
in a video posted on the papers
website.
Rendell, Schwartz: Anthony Weiner must resign
Only a handful of his other
colleagues want him to step
down from Congress.

LAWRENCE, Kan. Steve
Green rounded a bend on the Wa-
karusa River and slowed his boat
as he approached a clearing on
the bank that had been turned in-
to a makeshift fishing camp.
Welcome to Survivor, Kan-
sas, he said with a laugh, refer-
ring to the popular television se-
ries. This is going to be our base
camp tonight.
With a campfire already blaz-
ing, Greens friends, Mark Wotip-
ka and Mark Anfinson, were busy
readying fishing rods.
A food table had been set up,
comfortable recliner lawn chairs
were arranged behind the rod
holders, andsteaks sizzledonthe
grill.
No, this wasnt going to be a
night of roughing it.
But it was goingtobe a night of
serious catfishing.
About every stump or flooded
tree within sight was already
rigged with one of the limb-line
devices that Green makes a
product called the Topcat.
Theweatheredtreesjuttingout
of the water didnt have many
limbs. No problem. This is what
Greens Topcat device was de-
signed for.
His invention includes an
epoxy fiberglass rod from which
he can hang a bungee cord, a clip,
heavy-duty fishing line, a steel
plate rod-holder and a strap to at-
tach it to the tree or stump. In-
stant limb line.
I cameupwiththisafterI start-
ed fishing Hillsdale and found
that the best trees didnt have
limbs to hang a line on, said
Green, 50, who lives in Spring
Hill. I knew some of those big
trees had to have shed a lot of
their limbs and they were under
water, providingthekindof brush
those big flatheads like. But I
couldnt fish them.
So I started looking for a way
to make a limb line that I could
take with me, and this is what I
came up with.
Most fishermen make sure
their baits are far under water or
evennear the bottom. Not Green.
He arranges his rigs so the bait is
splashing on the surface.
Call it topwater catfishing.
When that bait is splashing
around on the surface, its like
ringingthedinner bell for abigol
catfish, Green said. Theyll
home right in on that perch.
Green had plenty of those Top-
cats hanging from stumps in the
Wakarusa River. He went from
spot to spot, baiting hooks with
green sunfish so large that some
people would be proud to catch
them. Then he pulled his boat
back to base camp, his home for
the next eight hours.
Were not camping here, he
said. Just fishing.
After the steaks and potatoes
were eaten, the sun slowly disap-
peared below the horizon. And it
was showtime.
Whenit wastotallydark, Green
hopped in his boat to do the first
check of some of the Topcats he
had scattered down the channel.
Using a spotlight to cut through
the fog that was billowing off the
water, he spotted one of the rods
that was bouncing.
When he pulled the boat up to
theline, thetuggingbecameeven
morepronounced. Greenreached
over, grabbedthelineandpulleda
big channel catfish into the air.
Thats a big channel, Green
said of the fish, which was later
weighed at 8 pounds. But were
looking for one of those 30- or 40-
pound flatheads.
That big one never came. But
therewereplentyof other catfish.
Bythetimethethreefishermen
hadfinishedrunningtheirlinesin
theearlymorninghours, theyhad
17 fish 16 channels and one 5-
pound flathead.
Green has fished for catfish
long enough to know the varia-
bles of the game. He remembers
running trotlines with his grand-
pa at Pomona Lake and catching
big cats.
He got out of fishingfor a while
but got back into it when he
moved near Hillsdale Lake. His
success improved dramatically
once he came up with his Topcat
device.
He remembers the day he
caught a 67-pound flathead, his
biggest ever, on his homemade
limb line.
That same day, we had flath-
eads weighing 53, 29 and 22
pounds, he said.
No fish story its the real deal

ALLENTOWN The Penn-
sylvania Department of Health
said Friday that it does not for-
mally keep track of citizens
health complaints about gas
drilling and has not, as a result,
linkeddrillingtoanyhealthcon-
sequences.
We have not made a conclu-
sive linkbetweenanindividuals
health and natural gas drilling,
agency spokeswoman Brandi
Hunter-Davenport said in re-
sponse to an Associated Press
inquiry. The Department will
continue to monitor any citizen
complaints which come to our
attention.
The AP asked the health de-
partment for data on the num-
ber of drilling-related com-
plaints it has received from citi-
zens and whether the agency
has ever made a finding that
drilling impacted human health
in the wake of claims by a
northern Pennsylvania hair-
dresser who says that a gas well
near her home made her sick.
Though gas drilling in the
Marcellus Shale has boomed
since 2009, with more than
3,200 wells drilled to date, Hun-
ter-Davenport was unable to say
this week how many health
complaints the agency has re-
ceived and investigated.
Currently, we do not have a
centralized database but are
working with the Marcellus
Shale (Advisory) Commission
and anticipate that in moving
forwardwe will be more system-
atically engaged in addressing
the health aspects, she said via
email Friday.
Gov. Tom Corbett appointed
the Marcellus commission to
study the economic, environ-
mental and public health im-
pacts of natural gas drilling and
to issue a set of recommenda-
tions.
A commission panel heard
testimony last month from
Health Secretary Eli Avila, who
acknowledged the department
lacked a systematic approach to
investigating health concerns
arisingfromgas drilling. Avila is
scheduled to appear before the
full commission next week.
Hunter-Davenport said in an
earlier email that the depart-
ment looks intoeverycomplaint
it gets.
If the Department would
find that the health of the citi-
zens of this commonwealth
were in jeopardy due to drilling
or any other activity within our
borders, steps will be taken to
alert the public and advise on
appropriate health responses,
she said.

this spring.
Newt Gingrich
The former House Speaker, who is mounting a campaign for the
Republican presidential nomination, emphasized his commitment to the
GOP race via a Facebook message after several top staffers resigned
Thursday.
Writer should stay out
of womens lives, issues
I
n response to letter writer Christopher
Calores put-down and questioning of
Sen. Robert Caseys ethic of life and
stance on womens issues (Writer ques-
tions Caseys ethic of life declaration,
June 3):
One can only assume Sen. Casey sur-
rounds himself with strong, modern and
intellectual women who do not wish for
him, the Catholic Church, bishops, priests
and certainly not Calore to make decisions
about their bodies, their pregnancies and
their reproductive choices.
Again I say, Mr. Calore, stay out of our
personal lives and stay out of our health
care. Your church is not exactly famous for
promoting womens equality. If you are so
concerned about your ethic of life, I
would suggest you stop trying to question
ours by attempting to dominate feminine
issues you have no right to manipulate or
control.
You can start by keeping your warped
sense of ethics out of a womans bedroom,
her physicians office, her family planning
center and her private life.

Swoyersville resident
wants levee fee reversed
A
s an old social studies teacher, and a
student of civics in high school, there
was an axiom that I was taught and
one I taught in class as well.
It is this: A flood-control levee (or na-
tional defense) is a public good because
residents benefit without direct pay.
I would like a response from the Luzerne
County commissioners who enacted this
outrageous law and the judge who con-
firmed its action.
Knowing no response is likely to be
forthcoming, all of us former civics class
students who are paying this toll will sit
tight until sounder minds, as public ser-
vants or as judges, see the error of this
enactment and make a change.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 2011 PAGE 11A
GOV. TOM Corbett has
been a strong friend of the
natural gas companies that
have contributed heavily
to his political campaigns
since 2008. Since taking
office in January, Corbett
has stacked his Marcellus Shale Advisory
Commission with members who have ties
to the gas industry and steadfastly refused
to impose a tax on drilling.
Pennsylvanians have been told that
drilling will lead to a huge financial wind-
fall for the commonwealth and greater
employment opportunities. But Corbetts
apparent willingness to rely on the energy
industry to set state policy for drilling has
left many of us who live in the Marcellus
Shale region to question how seriously
Harrisburg takes its responsibility to pro-
tect the natural environment and the pub-
lic welfare.
Its the same question the residents of
Centralia, Columbia County, asked them-
selves in 1962 when the burning of garbage
in an abandoned strip mine ignited an
underground fire a blaze that continued
to burn and spread for more than 40 years.
Centralia, like many of the former patch
towns that once dotted Pennsylvanias
anthracite region, was once home to a
prosperous anthracite operation. Founded
in 1866, the town had natural deposits of
coal that were estimated at 25 million
tons. Local coal companies made millions
of dollars mining the black diamond at the
turn of the century. But by the early 1960s,
Centralia had become dependent on waste
disposal to fill the economic void created
by the demise of the coal industry.
When Columbia County authorities
reported the May 1962 fire to the Penn-
sylvania Department of Mines and Mineral
Industries, the DMMI promptly sent offi-
cials to survey the situation. Slipshod
estimates indicated that the fire was con-
tained and could be extinguished with a
minimum of financial and human re-
sources. But no action was taken until
August, when it was too late.
The DMMI tried to contain the fire by
digging trenches and then excavating the
burning material from the ground. But by
the time the trenches were dug, the fire
already had spread past their barriers. To
stay on budget, workers were not permit-
ted overtime, in spite of the severity of the
underground fire.
Over the next decade, local government
exhausted its funds and the common-
wealth refused to establish a larger budget
for extinguishing efforts or evacuating the
town. In short, Harrisburgs plan was pred-
icated on the amount of money the state
was willing to spend, not the amount
needed to do the job properly.
As the underground fire spread, it emit-
ted poisonous gases that made some
homes uninhabitable. In addition, the
burning of coal seams removed structural
surface support and increased the possibil-
ity of subsidence.
Despite these dangers, a state of disaster
was never declared. Instead, state agencies
largely ignored Centralia, refusing to ad-
mit publicly that there was a serious prob-
lem. Bureaucratic infighting followed.
Not until the early 1980s, when a 12-
year-old boy nearly lost his life in a mine
subsidence, was any effective action taken.
With national attention focused on Cen-
tralia, the federal Office of Surface Mines
initiated a buyout program to purchase
local homes and provide residents funds to
relocate. Most residents accepted the
program and left. Almost all the holdouts
eventually relocated after the state exer-
cised its right of eminent domain.
Two important lessons can be learned
from Centralia, as Gov. Corbett mobilizes
state agencies to support Marcellus Shale
gas drilling. First, a superficial assessment
of the environmental and health hazards
involved in the natural gas fracking proc-
ess potentially can result in a long-term
crisis.
The state Department of Environmental
Protection and the Department of Health
must not allow budgetary concerns or
political expedience to compromise their
responsibilities to the people of Pennsylva-
nia. And if they do, the heads of those
agencies must be made accountable.
Second, when a problem does occur,
state authorities must admit it and act
immediately to resolve it.
Until state government learns from the
tragedy of the Centralia mine fire, Penn-
sylvanians can only expect more of the
same irresponsibility.

HREE MONTHS ago,
General Electric
madeheadlines witha
report that it earned
$14.2 billion in profits last year
but paid no federal taxes. In
fact, it got a $3.2 billion tax
credit.
Turns out Americas largest
corporation is not alone.
Citizens for Tax Justice, an
advocacy group that seeks fair
tax policy for middle- and low-
income families, released a re-
port last weekthat showedoth-
er blue-chip corporations have
taken similar advantage of the
tax codes loopholes, subsidies
and exemptions. Some of the
provisions, of course, encour-
age job creation, research and
other positive behaviors.
From 2008 through 2010, 12
companies including GE, Du-
Pont, Verizon, Boeing, IBM
and ExxonMobil reported
$171 billion in pretax U.S. prof-
its, but their federal taxes were
a negative $2.5 billion, mean-
ing the government paid them.
Ten of the companies saw at
least one no-tax year.
No one is saying this friendly
tax treatment was illegal. But
to the average American tax-
payer, who gets far smaller
breaks, seeing profitable com-
panies pay nothing is outra-
geous.
With the standard corporate
tax rate 35 percent and some in
Congress eager to reduce it,
these numbers are a timely re-
ality check, not to mention a
sad commentary on who is re-
ally paying their fair share.

OTHER OPINION: TAX FREEDOM

G
IVEN GOV. TOM
Corbetts unwork-
able pledge of nonew
taxes, the thoughts
of regional planners and some
county pols have turned to
tolling local highways as a
means to pay for the upkeep of
roads and bridges, which
rightly should be a statewide
responsibility.
That thinking played out
this week in the Philadelphia
region, with a long-studied
plan to add tolls along a heavi-
ly traveled 27-mile stretch of
Route 422 that fun-
nels commuter traf-
fic into King of Prus-
sia.
A presentation
Monday before a
state advisory panel
by staffers from the
Delaware Valley Re-
gional Planning Commission
tried to sell the idea of levying
a $2.65 one-way fee on100,000
motorists who struggle each
day with gridlock and bone-
jarringroadconditions on422.
While its understandable
that such plans would arise
from the frustration over the
slow pace of highway mainte-
nance as the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Transportation
funding has lagged, tolling lo-
cal expressways such as 422 is
not the way to finance the
states transportation needs.
First, its wrong to balkanize
funding for highways that are
part of a statewide road net-
work. In the case of 422, the
highways transportation ben-
efits are shared in a real sense
by the entire state since this re-
gion is so important as an eco-
nomic engine.
Another drawback of the
plan is that it could create a
new patronage haven in the
form of a regional authority to
collect and manage fees
charged along 422.
Thats not to say new tolls
cannot be a limited part of the
mix of generating the mini-
mum $1 billion more a year
needed to patch roads and
forestall bridge collapses.
It still makes sense tofree up
PennDOT funds
by tolling Inter-
state 80, as pro-
posed by the
state, but that
idea still lacks fed-
eral approval.
That plan would
spread the burden
shouldered by turnpike users.
Right now, truckers can avoid
turnpike fees and the New
York ports can enjoy an eco-
nomic advantage over Phila-
delphias.
Despite the tax-averse poli-
cies being championed by Cor-
bett and other Republicans in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania law-
makers need to face up honest-
ly to the states transportation
needs.
Transportation funding
must be shared by all motori-
sts primarily through a real-
istically calibrated gasoline
tax that would only have to
rise by a fewpennies to make a
difference.

began.
Mattioli retreatedhere, toa Po-
cono mountaintop, seeking sol-
ace and inspiration. He found
both. And the track he built, its
twin-spired grandstand soaring
cathedral-like above Monroe
Countys green vastness, is his
monument.
This weekend, Pocono, one of
just two independently owned
Sprint Cup tracks, will host the
first of its two annual NASCAR
events, the Pocono 500.
Mattioli onceagainwill preside
over his asphalt empire, one that
a $400 million offer couldnt pry
from him, one that his children
and grandchildren will inherit.
It has to stay in the family,
said Mattioli, often as profane as
he is good-natured. I put it in
trust. They cant touch it. They
cant sell it. The(SOBs) aregoing
to run it, or theyre going to
starve.
BorninOldForge, Mattioli was
the son of a boxer. When his fa-
ther left his pregnant wife to seek
Italys lightweight title, she filed
for divorce.
Their son his given name is
Joe, though no one calls himany-
thingbut Doc was aWorldWar
II Marine and afterward enrolled
at Temple, where he met his wife
of 63 years, Rose, a podiatry stu-
dent.
Though dentistry brought him
despair, it alsomadehimwealthy.
Mattioli earned more than a mil-
lion dollars in the eight years he
practiced and was financially
equippedtowrite lifes next chap-
ter.
I wasnt going to do anything
unless I loved it, said Mattioli,
seated in a wheelchair in the
vaulted living room of his house
across from the track.
He learned to fly and golf. He
built Center Square Golf Club in
Montgomery County andtwoPo-
cono ski resorts. But nothing ful-
filled him.
One day I flew my kids up
here, hesaid. Wehadlunch, and
as I was pre-flighting the airplane
to come home, a guy in a big yel-
low convertible drove up.
The man was Leroy Dengler, a
local investor who, looking for
partners in his race-track plan,
had noticed the well-dressed pi-
lot. Mattioli gave him a business
card, and six weeks later Dengler
called.
It was just ... luck, Mattioli
said.
He loaned the partners
$100,000 to buy 108 acres. Then
he loaned them $200,000 more.
I figured Id better start learn-
ing something about racing,
Mattioli said.
He traveledtoDaytona tomeet
with NASCAR founder Bill
France and to Indiana to meet
with Indianapolis Motor Speed-
wayowner TonyHulman. Mattio-
li envisioned a 2
1
2-mile track that
couldaccommodatestockandIn-
dy cars. His partners wanted a
road course.
When he couldnt convince
them, he converted his $300,000
in stock to warrants and kicked
them all out.
After years of fitful construc-
tion, the 2
1
2-mile track finally
opened in July 1971 with an Indy
car 500-miler. It soon became
clear that an annual Indy car race
wouldnt pay the bills.
Mattioli tried everything. He
added a dirt track. He rented the
facility to sports-car clubs. In
1972, imagining another Wood-
stock, he hosted a two-day music
festival featuring 10 acts, from
Three Dog Night to Black Sab-
bath.
Nearly 100,000 tickets were
sold. More than 200,000 fans
showed up, the traffic clogging
I-80 and terrifying the locals.
I sat in my office with a shot-
gun and a German shepherd,
Mattioli recalled. We didnt
know what the hell was going to
happen. They just kept coming.
But racing was going to make
or break Pocono. NASCARs
France recognized what Mattioli
insists he didnt the track was
within a few hundred miles of 60
millionpeople, 90miles fromPhi-
ladelphia and New York.
Hoping to broaden his sports
appeal, France asked Mattioli to
stagethefirst Pocono500in1974.
That race, won by Richard Petty,
was a success withfans but be-
cause many disliked the triangu-
lar tracks unique turns not all
the drivers.
Mattiolis financial struggles
continuedand, in1975, heconsid-
ered selling. When France heard,
he summoned the track owner to
a NewYork meeting. On the back
of a business card, to inspire his
friend, France wrote this quote
from 19th-century preacher Ge-
orge W. Cecil:
On the plains of hesitation
bleachthebones of countless mil-
lions, who, at the dawnof victory,
sat down to wait, and waiting
died.
The pep talk worked. Mattioli
kept the track and the card, a
framed enlargement of which
hangs on his office wall. Several
years ago, he rejected a $400 mil-
lion offer from Speedway Motor-
sports Bruton Smith.
I startedout with$48inmyac-
count, Mattioli said. Today Im
worth about $600 million. How
successful do I have to be?
In1982, after a California track
folded, he yielded to Frances
wishes again, adding a second
NASCAR race, the Pennsylvania
500. It helped make Mattioli fi-
nancially comfortable.
Still, NASCAR drivers contin-
ue to gripe about the tracks sur-
face and banking, fans and the
media about its lackof amenities.
(Championship Auto Racing
Teams, which operates the Indy
car circuit, hasnt raced there
since 1989.)
Mattioli has responded by in-
vesting tens of millions in the fa-
cility.
He rebuilt the garage area, ren-
ovated the press box and the
grandstands the twin spires
were a tongue-in-cheek homage
toChurchill Downs since his wife
is a horse-racing fan and gave
the whole complex a face-lift.
He has developed newrevenue
by renting the track 365 days a
year to some organization, by
building a restaurant, motel, and
gated development on the prop-
erty, and by constructing a 25-
acre solar-energy farm. (Best in-
vestment Ive made, he said.
Pays me $3,000 a day.)
Still, it hasnt quieted talk
about relocating one of Poconos
races.
That wont happen as long as
Mattioli is around, and, havingre-
centlybuilt amausoleumnear his
house, hes not going anywhere.
He might be 86 and weakened by
heart problems, but its going to
take a powerful man to wrest a
race away from him.
Bill France had to talk me into
addingthat secondrace, he said.
Im absolutely holding on to my
two.

Kelchak, who was separated from
Peltz, said her daughter is distraught
over his death. She had not spoken to
her father since she was involuntarily
hospitalized in May under the authority
of Luzerne County Children and Youth
Services, which has legal custody of her.
Kelchak said she and her daughter
vehemently protested her commitment
as they do not believe she displayed be-
havior that rose to the level to warrant
such a drastic action. They are contin-
uing to battle to overturn the commit-
ment order.
Her fathers death and KidsPeaces re-
fusal to let her attend the funeral have
made the situation worse, she said.
Shell be able to handle things better
if she can be here with the family to help
them through the mourning process
and going through the whole funeral
process, Kelchak said. For themnot to
let her come home and mourn properly
with her brothers and sisters, shes go-
ing to be more traumatized.
Confidentiality laws
Sharon McCarthy, a spokeswoman
for KidsPeace, said she could not com-
ment on the case due to confidentiality
laws.
Frank Castano, executive director of
Luzerne County Children and Youth
Services, and Joe DeVizia, director of
Human Services for the county, said
they understand Kelchaks concerns,
but the decision whether to release her
daughter is solely in the hands of Kid-
sPeace.
Castano and DeVizia said they could
not speak specifically about Kelchaks
case. Speaking generally, they said Chil-
dren and Youth has no authority to over-
ride a treatment providers recommen-
dation regarding the release of a patient.
If someone went to a hospital be-
cause they had an illness, the hospital is
going to let you know if the person is
ready to be released or not. Its the same
situation here, Costano said.
Kelchak said the family is continuing
to work on funeral arrangements for
Peltz. As of Friday no date had been set
for the services.
Emergency hearing
Joe Terrana, an attorney appointed to
represent Jessalyns interests in the
Children and Youth case, on Friday se-
cured an order for an emergency hear-
ing Monday morning.
Kelchaks attorney, Phillip Drumheis-
er of Carlisle, said he will attend the
hearing to urge the judge to review the
entire case, including the decision to
commit Jessalyn.
He believes the judge will agree the
placement was not proper and order her
release, freeing her to attend the funeral
on her own. At very least, he hopes the
judge will issue an order directing Kid-
sPeace to transport her for the day to
attend the funeral.
This is a huge stressor for her,
Drumheiser said. To lose a parent and
be told you have to stay in a facility . . .
Im just hoping the unlawful placement
of her can be resolved so she can be
back in time to attend the funeral.

Investigators also allege the couples
house was found in deplorable condi-
tions with rotten food and urine soaked
towels.
Caravella and Hann were arraigned
by District Judge Donald Whittaker in
Nanticoke and jailed at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility for lack of
$100,000 bail each.
According to the criminal complaint:
Caseworkers with Children and
Youth Services in August found the
house unfit for human occupation with
food rotting, filthy floors and carpets,
garbage and a foul odor throughout the
interior.
An older relative of the couple would
often urinate throughout the house,
which was filled with cats.
Investigators learned in January that
the boy claimed he was sexually as-
saulted by Hann for several years. The
assaults began when Caravella would
view pornographic movies inside the
house and invite the boy to watch with
Hann, the criminal complaint says.
The boy took his anger out by killing
Hanns cats. It is estimated he killed 50
felines, the criminal complaints say.
Investigators said the boy has not
had any contact with the couple since
August.
In an unrelated case, Caravella is fac-
ing felony sexual assault charges in
county court involving two girls, ac-
cording to court records.
Two girls in their teens alleged Cara-
vella sexually assaulted them at a
house in Nanticoke and in his house in
Plymouth. One of the girls further al-
leged Caravella made her watch por-
nography on a computer and look at
pornographic magazines, arrest re-
cords say.
A preliminary hearing on the latest
charges is scheduled for June 14 before
Whittaker.

Nenstiel claimed he did
not have his drivers license.
Police said in the criminal
complaint Nenstiel stag-

he was tired, the criminal
complaint says.

PARIS The walls of the Pa-
ris bar are plastered with images
of Jim Morrison and The Doors,
and a bust of the lead singer pres-
ides over the beer tap all part
of the owners lifelong passion
for the band. But an attorney for
the group doesnt love it madly.
Christophe Maillet said he re-
ceived a letter from a Beverly
Hills, California-based attorney
warning that The Doors do not
want to be seen as having ap-
proved of your establishment
and also the consumption of al-
cohol.
The April 21 letter signed
by Anthony Keats, The Doors in-
tellectual property lawyer, and
shown Friday to The Associated
Press urged Maillet to remove
images of the group from his bar
within three months.
The walls feature oversized
close-ups of Morrison and
framed photos and posters of the
band. And theres that bust of the
flowing-locked singer at the tap.
Morrison, known for a party-
ing lifestyle, died in 1971 at age
27 of heart failure in his bathtub
in Paris just minutes from
Maillets bar. Morrisons grave at
Pere Lachaise cemetery remains
a pilgrimage site for fans.
Doors lawyer Keats did not re-
spond to email and phone mess-
ages Friday about the letter.
The decorations are fromMail-
lets own collection the fruit of
25 years as a dedicated fan, he
said.
After nearly a decade spent
working at other peoples estab-
lishments, Maillets dream came
true nine months ago when he
opened the Lezard King a
play on Morrisons nickname,
the lizard king. Because he
worried about possible copyright
issues, Maillet used the French
word for lizard, he said.

THERE IS
NOsecret
about tactics in
todays Bel-
mont Stakes.
Preakness
winner Shack-
leford will be in
front and try to stay in front for a
bit shy of 2
1
2 minutes. Kentucky
Derby winner Animal Kingdom
will be somewhere among the
other 11horses trailing behind
the front-runner and, at some
point, will come with his patent-
ed run.
Beyond the obvious, there are
the two questions that cant be
answered for sure: Will the dis-
tance help or hurt the winners of
the first two Triple Crown races?
And is a third race in five weeks
too much for either or both of
them?
I certainly dont have those
answers. I can make an educated
guess, but I dont know.
You will never get anywhere in
this game by not reading be-
tween the lines. If you back favor-
ites all the time, you will lose
over time.
Horse racing is a sport for
outside-the-box thinkers. If you
always go along with the crowd,
you will eventually be parting
ways with all your cash.
It is also a talent to recognize
when what seems to make the
most sense really does make the
most sense.
Shackleford is dangerous
Others will be betting on Mas-
ter of Hounds, Santiva and Bril-
liant Speed Saturday. Those
three finished in a photo, 5
1
2
lengths behind Animal Kingdom
in the Derby. The connections of
each passed on the Preakness,
hoping the extra rest would
matter in the Belmont.
Note I said others. I dont
have any way of knowing which
of those three might improve
enough to beat Animal Kingdom.
I could guess, but I prefer not to
guess, if there is concrete evi-
dence that suggests guessing is
not necessary.
I dont think you have to guess
howAnimal Kingdomis going to
run. Just watch the Derby and
Preakness. This colt is not a
superstar, but this is a colt with
talent and a serious interest in
finding the finish line before his
opponents.
I thought his Preakness run
was heroic. The colt was literally
eating dirt early in the race,
which was why he got so far
back. Still, AKdid not get dis-
couraged.
Ive never seen a horse have
the dirt that horse had in his
face, said GrahamMotion,
Animal Kingdoms trainer. It
was caked in between his blink-
ers. Ive never seen that before. It
was extraordinary.
I think Animal Kingdomis
going to win this race. And I
think he is going to win more big
races down the road.
Having said that, I think
Shackleford is dangerous. When-
ever you see a race where just
one horse has a certain style of
running, that horse is always
worth a second look. When that
horse has already proved his
talent, that horse is worth a long
look.
Shackleford has solid early
speed. The other 11have no early
speed.
Everybody expects us to be
and we expect to be on the
lead, said Dale Romans, Shack-
lefords trainer.
Still, can the colt lead all the
way at a mile-and-a-half?
All were going to do is get
himin stride and sit there,
Romans said. Dont fight him.
Either way, dont be sending, and
dont be taking hold. Just get him

thrown 13 2/3 innings combined
with New York and Scranton/

The Knights scoredsixruns off
Carlyle (0-2), who allowed six
hits and one walk. He struck out
one.
Two runs came across in the
top of the first on an RBI-groun-
dout and a towering opposite
field home run by left-handed hit-

Charlotte up 2-0.

make the 43-car field.
As for the pole, it could come
down to Fridays fastest driver
in the first practice, Carl Ed-
wards. The two-time Pocono
winner will be shooting for his
first pole at the track in13 races.
Denny Hamlin, though, could
be the driver to watch. He was
fastest in the second practice
Friday and the defending race
winner. The victory was his
fourth at Pocono where he
crushed the field each time.
Weve been in contention for
a couple wins in the series the
last three or four weeks, said
Hamlin, who is winless this sea-
son. So, yeah, it comes at a
good time. This is a new car; it
seems tohaveprettygoodspeed
in it.
Were racing here in the mid-
dle of the day. Conditions are
going to be hot and slick I as-
sume on Sunday. All those
things factor into what usually
caters to us.
Speeds in the second practice
pretty much mirrored the first
session with a few notable ex-
ceptions. Brian Vickers was sec-
ond fastest in the second prac-
tice after being 22nd in the
opening round. Paul Menard
was the surprise inthe first prac-
tice, finishing second, but back-
slid to 14th in the second ses-
sion.
Again, the newqualifying for-
mat likely affected those
speeds, with the second session
used to set up the cars for race-
day conditions.
Five-time Cup champion Jim-
mie Johnson will qualify just be-
fore Menard and Edwards finish
things up. Although he is sec-
ond in the drivers standings, he
has struggled by his standards.
Johnson has a lone victory
this season, six races ago at Tal-
ladega, and hasnt won at Poco-
no since sweeping both events
in 2006. However, his average
finish of 9.6 in 18 Pocono starts
bodes well for his chances Sun-
day.
Were trying as hard as we
can each and every week just
like we have each and every
year, Johnson said. It may ap-
pear were laying in the weeds
waiting for September, but
were 100 percent doing all we
can on all fronts.
It speaks tojust howcompet-
itive this garage area is.
Qualifying is critical at Poco-
no, where the winner has start-
ed fourth or better in 37 of 66
events. Four of the last 10 races
have been won by the pole win-
ner.

LONG POND. Richard
Childress refuses to talk about
what he did to Kyle Busch. Ryan
Newman and Juan Pablo Mon-
toya wont talk about secret
fines or threatened lawsuits.
What the owner and drivers
are so hush-hush about is exact-
ly what everyone in or around
NASCAR is talking about. The
action on the track Friday was
secondary to what the key play-
ers involved in two big dustups
werent discussing.
Childress stepped out of Jeff
Burtons hauler Friday at Poco-
noRaceway for a Q&Athat took
no Qs andgave very fewAs. His
90-second remarks were nearly
identical to his statement from
earlier this week that NASCAR
was right to fine him and place
him on probation for assaulting
Busch. The owner just wont
apologize to Busch for the inci-
dent.
There was one slight addi-
tion: Childress said he wished
NASCAR had done something
to Busch after the driver
bumped into Joey Coulter on
the cool-down lap after the
Trucks race at Kansas Speed-
way.
The 65-year-old grandfather
apparently approached Busch
after the Trucks race, placed
himin a headlock, and punched
him several times (think of the
classic Nolan Ryan-Robin Ven-
tura clip).
He was probably a little sur-
prised he got in that situation,
Burton said. But everybody
has their limits. You push any-
body hard enough and youll
find that limit.
Newmanfoundhis after he al-
legedly punched Montoya dur-
ing a meeting last monthat Dar-
lington. Rumors surfaced that
Newman was secretly fined
$50,000 and that Montoya con-
sidered taking legal action
against the driver.
Montoya declined to com-
ment after Fridays practice.
Newman did not deny he was
fined.
Ive always said that private
things happen privately and
what happens inthetrailer stays
in the trailer, Newman said.
There is a reason that we have
private meetings and there is a
reason that NASCAR does
things the way they do.
However, Newman and Den-
ny Hamlin both admitted at last
years Pocono race that they had
been secretly fined by NASCAR
for speaking against the stock
car circuit.
I do know that when we are
talkingabout fines, whether it is
private or public, there is noth-
ing really we should elaborate
on because it is not something
that our sport should be proud
of, Newman said. Its not
something that is good for our
sport, so its not something we
want to keep talking about.
Since the Darlington meet-
ing, bothNewmanandMontoya
have declined to say what hap-
pened in the hauler.
Who needs green-white
checkered finishes to keep peo-
ple talking?
Not all punishments are is-
sued in the dark. Childress was
fined $150,000 and placed on
probation through the rest of
the year for going after Busch.
After racing Coulter hard in
the closing laps at Kansas on
Saturday, Busch bumped into
the 21-year-old on the cool-
down lap. Childress had grown
tired of Busch damaging RCR
equipment and decided to roll
up his sleeves and take action.
He old-schoold him, ARCA
driver Frank Kimmel said.
By refusing to apologize for
the second time this week, its
easy to think Childress didwhat
he felt was best.
I am passionate about my
race teams, our fans andI let my
emotions come in front of my
passion, hesaid. But that is be-
hind us.
Busch said there was no mali-
cious intent in bumping Coul-
ter.

cation with Busch appreciat-
ed having an owner sticking up
for his team.

Owner Richard Childress had little new to say to the media
about his physical confrontation with driver Kyle Busch.
LONG POND Joe Miegoc
will be signing copies of his new
book Pocono: NASCARs
Northern Invasion today and
Sunday at the track.
Miegoc will be at a tent be-
hind the main grandstand, next
to a Pocono souvenir trailer
along the side fence, from about
8 a.m. to the start of the ARCA
race today and 8 a.m. to the
start of the Sprint Cup race
Sunday.
ONLY ONE GORDON
Jeff Gordon and Robby Gor-
don were both on the original
entry list for the race, but the
latter wont be there.
Robby, who is no relation to
Jeff, will have his team there
with Scott Wimmer behind the
wheel of the No. 7 Dodge.
Wimmer was the slowest in
Fridays first practice, locking up
the first qualifying spot today.
However, hell be in Sundays
field because the team is among
the top-35 in owners points.
ICEMAN NOT COMETH
Mike Bliss practiced the No.
32 Ford instead of former Cup
champion Terry Labonte, who
was listed on the original entry
list. Owner Frank Stoddard has
used a few different drivers this
season, including former Cup
regular Partrick Carpentier last
weekend at Kansas.
RACING FOR A CAUSE
ARCA driver and Pocono
Raceway Executive Nick Ig-
dalsky has formed a unique
partnership with Michaels Way,
a nonprofit charity organization,
for todays ARCA 200.
Michaels Way is a charitable
organization that supports fam-
ilies who have children under-
going cancer treatments by
helping pay non-medical expens-
es a family may incur.
Individuals, businesses and
corporations are asked to sup-
port Michaels Way and this
partnership by making mone-
tary donations to Michaels Way
for every mile of the 200-mile
race that Igdalsky completes.
Individual Mileage Donations
can be made per mile up to 200
miles. For example, a 10-cent-
per-mile donation results in a
$20 maximum donation. A
25-cents-per-mile donation re-
sults in a maximum donation of
$50. A $1-per-mile donation
results in a maximum donation
of $200.

The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn Robert
Karlsson keeps playing better
and better at TPC Southwind.
The Swede could be on track for
his first PGATour title if he keeps
it up.
Karlsson is focused only on his
next round.
Thats a questionwell discuss
when it happens, Karlsson said.
Karlsson shot a 5-under 65 on
Friday to take a three-stroke lead
after the second round of the St.
Jude Classic. He started a stroke
behind first-round leader David
Mathis andcardedsixbirdies and
a bogey to reach 9 under. Karls-
son, who lost here a year ago in a
playoff with Lee Westwood, has
played his first six career rounds
at the course under par with this
his lowest score yet.
Its actually a bonus that I did
well here last year, said Karls-
son, who is ranked 23rd in the
worldandhas11career European
Tour titles.
But this year is a newyear, and
even now most likely going to be
in the lead after two days makes
no difference. Weve come half-
way, and who knows. I might fin-
ish 55th. You never know. Youve
got to keep going, especially on
punishing golf courses like this.
Colt Knost (68) and Keegan
Bradley (67) were tied for sec-
ond. Bradley, the Byron Nelson
Championshipwinner twoweeks
ago, is among a fewwho can earn
a spot last week in the U.S. Open
at Congressional by winning his
second tour event since the last
Open.
JohnMerrick(69) was 5under,
and Fredrik Jacobson (65) and
Harrison Frazar (65) were anoth-
er stroke back. Brandt Snedeker,
The Heritage winner in April,
shot a 66 to top the group at 3 un-
der that included Mathis (72).
With 83 making the cut at 2 over,
David Toms (5 over) and Sergio
Garcia (7 over) were among
those who made an early depar-
ture for Congressional.
Nobody beat Karlsson him
over 72 holes here in2010, andhe
credits the lessons learned on his
first practice round here a year
ago to avoid hitting into the
rough on this 7,239-yard course
as much as possible to better set
up shots into the greens. Temper-
atures in the high 90s the past
couple weeks have firmed up the
Champion Bermuda greens.
It can be better to have an 8-
iron from the fairway or a 7-iron
from the fairway instead of a
wedge fromthe rough, Karlsson
said. The greens are firm, and
the roughis really, reallybrutal to
control the golf ball out of. You
can hit it. you can hit it really far,
very, very far because you can get
some vicious flyers.
Starting at 4 under and teeing
off onNo. 10, Karlssonbirdiedhis
secondholeandfinishedtheback
side with birdies on three of the
final four holes. He hit an 8-iron
to8feet onthe par-311thtoset up
his first birdie. He saved par on
Nos. 12-14 and then hit a wedge
from106yards to7feet totake ad-
vantage of a front pin position on
the par-4 15th to start his birdie
string.
Karlsson found the rough with
his tee shot on the par-5 16th but
he recovered by hitting a wedge
from 124 to 5 feet for a second
straight birdie. He stuck a 7-iron
from 175 yards to 4 feet on the
par-4 18th to reach 8 under.
I hit a bunch of good iron
shots. It was nice obviously toget
it going. As you said, its not an
easy golf course. You just dont
walk out there and shoot 68, 67.
Its always nice toget off toa good
start. I played very well on m
back nine as well. Gave myself a
bunch of chances, and it was
good, Karlsson said.

Manny Acta got into a face-to-
face screaming match when
both benches and bullpens
emptied after Mark Teixeira
was hit by a second-inning
fastball from struggling Indians
starter Fausto Carmona.
No punches were thrown
and there appeared to be little
pushing and shoving if any.
Plate umpire Dale Scott issued

1938 Johnny Vander Meer hurled the first of two
consecutive no-hitters as the Cincinnati Reds beat
the Boston Braves 3-0.
1967 The Chicago Cubs hit seven homers and
the New York Mets four in the second game of a
doubleheader, tying the major league record set by
the New York Yankees (6) and Detroit Tigers (5) in
1950. Adolfo Phillips hit four home runs in the dou-
bleheader for Chicago.
1981 Following Seattles 8-2 win over Baltimore,
major league players went on strike.
1985 Von Hayes became the first player in major
league history to hit two home runs in the first in-
ning. Hayes connected twice in a nine-run first,
powering the Philadelphia Phillies to a 26-7 victory
over the New York Mets.
1990 Nolan Ryan pitched the sixth no-hitter of his
career, extending his major league record, as the
Texas Rangers beat the Oakland Athletics 5-0.
Ryan was the first to pitch no-hitters for three teams
and, at 43, the oldest to throw one.
1995 Mark McGwire hit three home runs in con-
secutive at-bats and tied the major league record of
five homers in consecutive games, leading the
Oakland Athletics over the Boston Red Sox 8-1.
1995 Lee Smith set a major league record with a
save in his16th consecutive appearance, pitching a
scorelessninthinningtopreservetheCaliforniaAn-
gels 5-4 victory over Baltimore. Smith broke the
mark of 15 straight set by Doug Jones in 1988.
1997 Roger Clemens lost for the first time after 11
straight wins to open the season as the Seattle Mar-
iners topped the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1.
2002JaredSandbergbecamethe16thALplayer
to homer twice in an inning, and the third this sea-
son, as Tampa Bay beat Los Angeles 11-2.
2003 Houstons Roy Oswalt, Pete Munro, Kirk
Saarloos, Brad Lidge, Octavio Dotel and Billy
Wagner combined for the first no-hitter against the
New York Yankees in 45 years, winning 8-0. The
sextet set a record for the most pitchers to combine
onano-hitter inmajor leaguehistory four accom-
plished the feat twice.
2009 Shin-Soo Choo hit an RBI single that
glanced off a gull and gave Cleveland a 4-3 win over
Kansas City. Choos bouncing base hit flattened a
low-flying gull in the10th inning and rolled past Kan-
sas Citys center fielder, scoringMark DeRosafrom
second base without a throw. The stunned bird
flopped around for a few seconds before flying off.

relaxed. He can be relaxed and
still going fast.
Shackleford led the Derby until
thestretchbeforefinishingfourth.
He was right with the pace in the
Preakness, spurtedaway andheld
on to the wire.
One could make a case that the
Preakness is 110 yards shorter
than the Derby, so that is why
Shackleford held on. The Bel-
mont is 550 yards longer than the
Preakness.
It might be counterintuitive,
but I think Shackleford won in
Baltimore because he went faster
at the beginning than he did in
Louisville. What that did was
spread out the field and leave the
Derbywinnerwithtoomuchtodo
and not enough time to do it.
The pace was so slow in Ken-
tucky that all the closers were
close enough in the stretch that
they could outfinish Shackleford.
The Preakness was run different-
ly.
Howthe Belmont is runwill de-
termine whether Shackleford can
hold on. If the field spreads out, I
think he has a chance. If it does
not, I think he does not last.
Onecouldcertainlymakeacase
for Derby runner-up Nehro. The
horses connections thought
about the Preakness, but passed
infavor of thefiveweeks rest. The
colt has been second in three con-
secutive derbies (also Arkansas
and Louisiana). If he gets there
this time, nobodywill be shocked.
What of Mucho Macho Man,
third in the Derby, sixth in the
Preakness?
For the secondtime this spring,
Mucho Macho Man lost a shoe
during the running of a race. So, a
new blacksmith was hired after
the Preakness.
The colt nowhas Polyflex glue-
on shoes.
He started with nail shoes,
then we went to a glue-on regular
shoe, now he has a glue-on Poly-
flex, said Kathy Ritvo, Mucho
Macho Mans trainer. I think that
hes probably snatching it coming
out of the gate, and hes not sup-
posed to be able to get this one
off.
The bottom line to this Bel-
mont is if Animal Kingdom has
heldhis form, he is the most likely
winner.
I have not seen a kink in this
horses armor, Motionsaid. Hes
done great. I was a little worried
immediately after the Preakness,
but part of that was just because I
had visually seen himhave a hard
race. But hes never given me any
indications to say that hes backed
up after these races.
The pressure, Motion said, is
not like it was for the Preakness.
Youre almost holding your
breath because youre the only
one that can win the Triple
Crown, Motion said. You dont
want anything to go wrong. You
dont want the horse to get a tem-
perature. Youdont want thehorse
to step on a stone.
Motion was hoping to win the
Derby, not expecting it.
If someone could have told me
when I was watching Animal
Kingdom in January in Palm
Meadows that I had the Derby
winner in my barn, I never would
have known it, Motion said.
Now, the expectations are dif-
ferent. Many are expecting Ani-
mal Kingdomto win the Belmont
Stakes. I am definitely expecting
it.

clared his colt in great form
anduptothe challenge of taking
on a slew of rivals for the third
time in five weeks.
To have seven horses come
backfromtheDerby, andtohave
the winner of the Preakness and
Derby, what more can you
want? Motion said. Everyone
wants toseea TripleCrownwin-
ner, but ultimatelythisisthetest
of champions
Animal Kingdom is the 2-1 fa-
vorite in a field of 12 3-year-olds
as he attempts to become the
12th horse to complete a Derby-
Belmont double. The last tosuc-
ceed was Thunder Gulch in
1995.
Derby runner-up Nehro is the
secondchoiceat 4-1, withShack-
leford next at 9-2 as he tries to
become the 19th horse to take
the Preakness and Belmont.
AhmedZayat, whoowns Neh-
ro, cant wait to see what hap-
pens. Of course, hes hoping his
colt will shed his bridesmaid
reputation after second-place
finishes in the Louisiana, Arkan-
sas and Kentucky derbies.
This race will be something
special, he said. Its another
Derby at the test of champions.
The matchup of a Derby win-
ner against a Preakness winner
in the 1
1
2-mile Belmont doesnt
occur often. This will be the
22nd time its happens, and first
since 2005, when Preakness
winner Afleet Alex defeated
Derby winner Giacomo. Preak-
ness winners have won10times,
Derby winners five times.
The NewYork Racing Associ-
ation is hoping for a crowd of
60,000, far less than the record
120,139 that showed up for
Smarty Jones Triple Crown try
in 2004. Weather could be a fac-
tor withforecasts callingfor a 60
percent chance of rain, with
thunderstorms possible by late
afternoon, and temperatures in
the high 60s.
MotionandRomans havesaid
a wet track shouldnt be a prob-
lem for their horses, while long
shot Ruler OnIcehas wonover a
sloppy dirt track before.
Post time for the race on NBC
is 6:35 p.m.
With one long lap around the
only 1
1
2-mile track in North
America, the Belmont has been
full of surprises. Since Thunder
Gulch won as the favorite in 95,
only two others have done the
same Point Givenin2001and
Afleet Alex in 05. Long shots
have been coming home first on
a regular basis. Last year it was
13-1 Drosselmeyer, two years
ago Summer Bird at 11-1, and
three years ago Da Tara at 38-1.

How this Belmont unfolds is
anybodys guess. One thing for
certain is Shackleford will shoot
for the leadfromthe outside No.
12 post under Jesus Castanon.
The long, lanky colt led into the
stretchat the Derbybut couldnt
hold off the closers and finished
fourth. Then in the Preakness,
he quickened the pace and held
off Animal Kingdomto win by a
half length.
Hes going to break and go to
the lead, Shacklefords trainer
DaleRomanssaid, andwell see
how far he can go.
Anintriguing outsider is Mas-
ter of Hounds, a European in-
vader who ran a commendable
fifthinthe Derby, andis back for
another go on the deep, sandy
Belmont track.
Hell definitely put up a good
show here, trainer Aidan

SAN DIEGO Cory Span-
genberg is going to get his wish.
San Diegos top pick wanted
to start playing again as soon as
possible, so the 20-year-old sec-
ond baseman from Clarks Sum-
mit became the first first-round
selection from this weeks draft
to come to terms when he reac-
hed a deal with the Padres on
Friday.
Its an unbelievable feeling,
said Spangenberg, who took
batting practice with the Padres
at Petco Park. I cant wait to
start playing.
The former Pennsylvania
prep star played at Virginia Mil-
itaryInstitutefor ayear andwon
Big South Conference freshman
of year honors before transfer-
ring to Indian River State Col-
lege in Florida. He batted .477
this season for Indian River, the
sixth-best average in the nation
among Division I junior colleg-
es.
Spangenberg went No. 10
overall higher in the draft
than he thought he would go.
Imanaverage guy withgood
speed, who can hit for average,
said Spangenberg, a lefty-bat-
ting line-drive hitter.
Spangenberg will head to Ari-
zona for a couple of weeks be-
fore joining short-season
Class-A Eugene. The plan is to
return to Arizona in the fall for
instructional ball.
Our area scout Willie Bosque
dida reallygoodjobof gettingto
knowthe kid and we had a good
idea that we would be able to
sign himearly, Padres scouting
director Jaron Madison said.
One of our big emphasis has
been finding players who fit per-
fectly for this field, guys who
can not only defend, but can run
and can take advantage of the
spaciousness of the ballparkand
he fits that perfectly.

tently,
Miley said. We swing and miss
too much.
SWBcouldnt muster anything
else against Charlotte starter
Deunte Heath (1-2) who struck
out six in five innings and three
relievers.
Heath allowed four of the Yan-
kees five hits. Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre only got one hit after the
fifthandthat was erasedonadou-
ble-play groundball. SWBcollect-
ed hits in only three of the nine
innings and Charlotte pitchers
faced the minimum number of
batters in the last four innings.
Yankees hitters finished with
nine strikeouts.

WASHINGTON After years of
placing her electric toothbrush on
her bathroom sink top, Lisa Morris
decided to find a more creative place
to store it.
It would always fall off, so I said,
Someone needs to come up with an
idea to hold this thing, she said.
Morris discussed her dilemma
with her husband James, an artist
who paints and draws. Her idea be-
came the impetus for her husbands
self-designed organizer called The
CloverHolder.
The Catonsville, Md., couple is
among 22 inventors who gathered at
the National Press Club recently for
a pitch-a-product casting call in hon-
or of National Inventors Day.
The pitch session, hosted by Te-
lebrands Corp., was an open casting
event for inventors across the coun-
try eager to
market at-home
products that
are as unusual
as they are help-
ful.
TeleBrands,
headquartered
in Fairfield,
N.J., was found-
ed in 1983 by
CEO A.J. Khu-
bani. The com-
pany seeks in-
ventions to
market to con-
sumers from all
over the world,
and it has
launched more
products
through direct-
response televi-
sion than any
other media
corporation, ac-
cording to its
Web site.
As early as 9 a.m., the 22 inventors
crowded into a 13th-floor conference
room to make their pitches. Each
creator was given five minutes to
sell their ideas to a panel of judges
that included Khubani, Telebrands
blogger Tom Zarzecki and Tele-
brands Vice President Manish Isra-
ni.
Israni said the day is especially in-
teresting for the judges because they
get to see ideas from the grassroots.

In Philadelphia, people pilfer
peonies, hijack hydrangeas and
abduct azaleas.
Victims dont usually report
this dirty crime, so no one knows
how common it is. But every
spring, neighbors trade tales of
purloined plants.
Its just irritating, because
youre like, Really, theyre going
to steal plants now? You almost
cant have anything nice in front
of your house because its going
to get smashed or ruined, said
Tara Martello, an occupational
therapist who lives in the citys
Fairmount section.
Two years ago, someone tip-
toedaway witha tree that grewin
a pot outside Martellos house.
They ripped the tree right
out, she said. We saw a trail of
dirt going down the street.
She and her husband replaced
the tree with white, yellow and
blue flowers. Someone took
those, too.
Martello, however, is as un-
dauntedas a dandelionthat takes
root in a concrete sidewalk. She
put flowers outside her house
again this year. So far, they are
still there.
Of course, Philadelphia gar-
deners dont take this greenery
grabbing lying down in their
hammocks.
How could they in the city
where Mayor Frank Rizzo tucked
a nightstick into his tuxedo cum-
merbund to be properly dressed
for both a riot and a formal affair?
Where pedestrians and drivers
engage in crosswalk stare-
downs? Where people battle to
win a ribbon at the Flower Show
as though they were competitors
on reality TV?
This citys plant lovers channel
their flower power. They fight
back.
Sally McCabe, project manag-
er of Garden Tenders, a program
of the Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society, once had a plot at Seedy
Acres, a community garden. Peo-
ple took flowers that surrounded
that garden, so McCabe and her
friends planted prickly pear as a
deterrent.
Wetoyedwithpoisonivy, she
said, but its delayed gratifica-
tion. Stinging nettle would be
better, because you touch that,
and youre going to sting for 10

ne of Karen Angeluccis favorite gardening tools is the wood
potting bench her father made for her. The big poplar
bench has shelves for storing pots, nails on which to hang
utensils and a large work area, said Angelucci, of Lexington,
Ky., an author of gardening books. I have to have room to work and
create, she said. Potting benches tell the character of a person. Thats
why mines large andmessy. Gardeners use the benches primarily for
potting flowers and small seedlings.
Theycanhelpyoubecome
more efficient, said Robin
Pokorski, secretary for the
National Garden Clubs. She
likes having all her tools
within arms reach when
shes potting plants. I
wouldnt do without it, said
Pokorski, who lives in Los
Angeles.
Pokorski chose a plastic
bench because she felt it
would hold up better under
the California sun. Potting
benches are available in
many materials from wood
to vinyl.
Building one can be an
easy do-it-yourself project,
said Lou Manfredini, Ace
Hardwares Home Expert, in
Chicago.
Here are some things to
consider before buying or
building a potting bench:
Location
Put the bench in a shady
spot so youre not working in
direct sun, experts recom-
mend. Consider whether to
incorporate the bench into
the landscape or hide it be-
hind a garage or shed. Re-
member that a potting
bench can get messy and
cluttered.

work and great ideas, Israni
said. If we end up choosing
their product and it becomes a
big hit, it is a real sense of sat-
isfaction for us and the inven-
tors.
Israni said Telebrands has
held casting calls everywhere
from Los Angeles to Philadel-
phia. He is responsible for
drawing up licensing agree-
ments with those whose prod-
ucts are selected.
Typically one or two prod-
ucts, Israni said, are chosen
from each event, and their in-
ventors are notified anywhere
from two weeks to two months
after the event.
Contracts are awarded to
successful inventors, but Pub-
lic Relations Manager Andrea
Pass declined to disclose what
those might be worth to the in-
ventors.
Of all the inventions, John
Twerdoks Frank Former a
cutter that transforms cooked
hot dogs into little men and
Gina Bommaritos Picture
Wizard, a helpful picture-
hanging device, seemed to
strike the loudest chords with
the judges.
Weve never seen anything
like the Frank Former, said
Zarzecki. Thats cool to us. On
a one to 10, the fun factor is a
10. Novelty stuff sells.
Israni liked Bommaritos Pic-
ture Wizard best.
I like the hot-dog invention,
but I also really liked the pic-
ture-hanging tool. Its a very
simple device. It took five sec-
onds to hang the picture, Is-
rani said. Thats probably the
simplest picture-hanging de-
vice Ive seen. You measure the
picture, use the hammer and
youre done.
Bommarito traveled from
Hazel Park, Mich., to attend
the casting call, and Twerdok
came from Pittsburgh.
Two of the 22 inventors at
the event hailed from Mary-
land, with creations ranging
from the Morrises CloverHol-
der to the Unique Seat, an all-
in-one seating device designed
for one to two people by Clin-
ton native Shirley Hayden.
Khubani tested Haydens
product first-hand.
I was really excited to have
him sit down on the seat with
me, and try it out, said Hay-
den, an alumna of University of
Marylands Hillman Entrepre-
neurs program. Hopefully, Ill
sign a contract soon and wont
have to do too many more
pitches like this.
The Morris family, who
founded West End Designs in
2005 and showcases The Clo-
verHolder at www.CloverHol-
der.com, has already won an
award for its invention a
gold medal from Family Group
Magazine.
The couple has presented
their product on PBS invention
show Everyday Edison and at
local craft shows and expos.
Just look at the quality of
it, James said, throwing the
organizer on the ground to test
its durability.
It doesnt break, he said.
We make it from polycarb, but
it can also be made out of gold
or inlaid with diamonds for
those with expensive tastes.
And it glows, too.
We can even make it with a
fluorescent piece, so in the
daytime, it draws in the sun,
said James, and at night, it
puts off a light. Lisa and
James say working as a team
has its pluses and minuses.
Weve had our fights over this
thing, James said, chuckling.
Thats because were married
and we work together, Lisa
said. But his expertise really
is the creative end. And she
keeps me organized, James
said.

James Morris explains his invention, The CloverHolder, to the
judges at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., recently.
The CloverHolder is an organizer for different objects around the
house.
Rumor has it the place to grow
sweet cornis ina farmfield. Back-
yard gardens, the reasoning goes,
generally are not large enough to
make the harvest worth it, and
pollination problems are likely
with small plantings.
Well, taint necessarily so. By
choosing varieties with care, pro-
viding good growing conditions
andusinga fewspecial tricks, you
can harvest one ear of the best-
tasting corn imaginable for each
square foot planted.
Variety selection is important
for scrumptious sweet corn. If
spaceis at a premium, growvarie-
ties Golden Midget, Earlivee
and Quickie, for example that
ripen quickly and have shorter
stalks.
But alsochoosevarieties for fla-
vor. Yellow corns generally have
cornier flavor, white corns a
purer sweetness. Varietiessuchas
Honey & Cream and Bodacious
pack both yellow and white ker-
nels into each of their ears. My fa-
vorite? Golden Bantam.
Space considerations
No need for garden space to be
devoted only to corn. Before the
corn goes in, while temperatures
were still cool, you could have
planted radishes, leaf lettuce,
spinach, arugula and other quick-
maturing vegetables that enjoy
cool weather. At the other end of
theseason, aftercornharvest, you
could plant bush beans, late cab-
bageorbroccoli, aswell astheveg-
etables mentioned to precede
corn.
Getting corn in and out of the
ground fast frees space for other
vegetables. Corn varieties that
mature quickly are one way to do
this, but avoidgrowingonlyearly-
maturing varieties because their
flavor generally is not as good as
that of longer ripening varieties.
You also could get your corn in
andout quicker by planting seeds
in 3-inch pots, and letting plants
spend three to four weeks grow-
ing in those pots rather than tak-
ing up space out in the garden.
Easy growing
Corn is a hungry plant that
needs rich, moist soil and at least
six hours per day of sunlight.
Close planting without attention
to soil and water results in nub-
bins rather thanplump, well-filled
ears. So add plenty of compost to
thesoil alongwithahighnitrogen
fertilizer, such as 2 pounds of soy-
bean meal per hundred square
feet.
For closeplanting, growcornin
double rows of hills, a hill being
a cluster of three or four plants.
Hills ensure good pollination.
Spaceeachrowof that doublerow
2 feet apart, with 2 feet between
hills. Youwont beabletowalkbe-
tweenthedoublerow, but youcan
harvest fromeach side. If you gar-
deninbeds, justplanttwoormore
rows of hills down the length of
each of your beds.
Once up and growing, corn
needs little but regular care. Keep
weeds at bay withshallowhoeing
or by smothering thembeneath a
thick mulch of some organic ma-
terial suchasleaves, straworcom-
post. Mulchalsoconserves water,
which you should supplement
duringdryspells sothat plants re-
ceive the equivalent of about an
inch of water per week. Measure
water from a sprinkler or rainfall
into a straight sided container,
such as a coffee can.
Avoidworms that sometimes
burrowinto the tips of the ears by
cuttingoff thesilksassoonasthey
start to dry, or by putting a few
drops of vegetable oil on those
silks. Or do nothing, and just
breakoff thewormytipbeforeyou
eat the corn.
Take a bite
Two to three months after
planting comes your reward.
Timelyharvestisall-importantfor
the best-tasting sweet corn. Start
your countdown when silks first
showat thetipsof theears; expect
toeat thoseearsabout 3weekslat-

Sweet corns not just for farms
By LEE REICH
For The Associated Press
minutes.
In community gardens, people
also walk off with vegetables.
McCabe gives those crooks the
benefit of the doubt, believing
they are merely frustrated at see-
ing food go to waste.
But she also knows how to
keep the vegetable thieves at bay.
Put flour on your plants. No-
body wants to pick something
thats been dusted, McCabe
said. It looks like you put pesti-
cides on it.
People ask her for advice on
preventing theft a few times a
year, often around Mothers Day,
when the crime peaks.
About 25 years ago, thieves
carted off an entire block of
shrubs that Anna Maria Vona had
planted in whiskey barrels. She
planted again. The shrubs disap-
peared again.
I was in tears, Vona said. I
felt so violated.
She and her neighbors stayed
up in shifts to watch the plants.
As dawnapproached, the lookout
fell asleep, and someone filched
their foliage again.
It was very clean. You didnt
evensee anydirt, Vona said. We
started to suspect it was some-
body who might have been a
landscaper.
She and her neighbors on
South Chadwick Street dumped
all of the dirt out of the barrels.
Her husband, Carmen, figured
out that they could drill holes in
the bottom of the barrels and in-
stall grommets. Then they loop-
ed sturdy cable through the
grommets and around the root
balls of the shrubs. They encased
the cable in plastic so it wouldnt
rust.
It becomes like a noose, said
Vona, who with her husband
owns Carmana Designs, a cus-
tom furniture and design busi-
ness. People still tried to shang-
hai her shrubs. Vona would find
the plants hanging part of the
way out of the barrels, but the ca-
ble foiled the crime.
Equipped with a new defense,
Vona no longer lashes her bushes
to the ground.
I have my camera on surveil-
lance, she said.
But she also said people didnt
swipeplants as often, possiblybe-
cause they had gotten more used
to the idea of greening. In 2003,
the Horticultural Society named
her block the greenest in the city.
McCabe, of the Horticultural
Society, agreed that the crime
usedtobemorecommon. I seeit
much less now, she said. There
have been times when you just
didnt put anything out.
She believes many culprits are
childrenwhosimplygraba pretty
plant without thinking or take it
as a quick Mothers Day gift, she
said.

EVERY TIME I READ
something about real
estate these days, I
remember a 6-year-old
named Mary Doris,
who lived across the
street when I was
growing up.
All the children in our neighborhood
had nicknames based on their defining
characteristics, and Mary Doris was
called The Whiner.
She would whine about everything:
not being included in games; not being
allowed to ride her bike off the street;
not being given the other Yodel in the
package.
The list was endless, and the whine
was that of a router cutting through
mahogany.
Lately, theres been whining by some
groups about the gradual and thats
the operative word reduction of
government involvement in housing.
If you are not familiar with the issue,
the goal is, in the words of Treasury
Secretary Timothy Geithner, to shrink
the governments footprint in the hous-
ing market to make way for more pri-
vate capital.
Right now, the government guaran-
tees nine in 10 mortgages. That means
taxpayers shoulder the full cost of the
financial crisis, from bailing out lend-
ers to modifying and refinancing trou-
bled mortgages, and everything in
between.
The reforms in question would re-
duce the maximum size of loans that
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can guar-
antee and phase in a 10 percent down-
payment requirement for Fannie and
Freddie borrowers to further protect
taxpayers, Geithner said.
But those changes, the housing in-
dustry complains, would further delay
real-estate recovery. Increasing down
payments and reducing the amount of
conforming loans would shut out the
cash-poor first-time buyer and people
in high-priced areas, they say.
Maybe thats not a totally bad thing,
Mary Doris.
Economist Anthony Sanders, a pro-
fessor of real-estate finance at George
Mason University, maintains that,
aside from saving U.S. taxpayers hun-
dreds of billions of dollars, not much
would change in a world without those
government-sponsored enterprises
(GSEs), Fannie and Freddie.
After pumping trillions into the
mortgage market since 1998 through
the GSEs, the homeownership rate is
back to 1998 levels, Sanders said.
Enormous pain and suffering occurred
trying to go from 66 percent to 70
percent homeownership.
Changes will be gradual. A lot of
pressure is being exerted to reduce
government spending and the ever-
increasing deficit, and having the pri-
vate sector share even reduced risk
with the taxpayer appears to many a
reasonable goal.
Though the whining is annoying, it
is also perhaps understandable.
So far, the government doesnt have
a great track record solving housings
problems. The Home Affordable Mort-
gage Program, designed to keep people
in their homes through loan mod-
ification, has helped relatively few.
The federal tax credit to kick-start
sales worked until it went away, cost us
all billions, and did little for the new-
home industry. It simply shifted sales
to the first four months of 2010 from
the last half of the year and the first
three months of 2011. Sales volume,
even with millions of distressed proper-
ties going real cheap, slowed the de-
cline in home values for a time, but
then they resumed their fall.
Efforts to regulate housing finance
since the bubble burst havent worked,
either. Lenders, waiting to see the new
rules of reform, remain tight-fisted
with home buyers and residential
builders.
As economist Mark Zandi observes,
success in reforming the system re-
quires a balance between the benefits
of the private sector and the backstop
of the government.
If that balance is not achieved, it
could mean the end of fixed-rate mort-
gages and higher interest rates, he said.
Based on the governments record,
start whining now.

Philadelphia Inquirer, Box 8263, Philadelphia,

Size
Think about what size plants
and pots you will be using, and
how much workspace you will
need.
Height
Make sure the work area is at a
comfortable level. Youdont want
tohave tobenddownor reachup.
Storage
Some benches come with
shelves, drawers, or utensil
hooks for storing or displaying
gardening tools. Consider hang-
ing tools on hooks so they arent
sitting in wet drawers after it
rains.
Material
Pick a material suited to your
climate. Many benches are made
from cedar or redwood, which
can withstand the elements well.
Plastic and recycled materials al-
so hold up well in sun, rain and
snow.
Wheels
Some benches have wheels so
they can be moved around the
yard. If you intend to roll yours
around the lawn, make sure it
isnt too heavy to push.
Cost
Prices vary widely. A do-it-
yourself bench could be con-
structed for as little as $30. A
number of gardening websites of-
fer plans for building potting
benches. Store-bought benches
start at about $100.
Appearance
Benches come in many styles,
from rustic to country cottage to
simple and functional. If the
benchwill be visible froma patio,
deck or house window, you will
need to consider whether it
blends with the look of your
house or yard.
Accessories
Potting benches can be outfit-
ted with many kinds of equip-
ment. Some have sinks that can
be rigged to outdoor spigots.
Others have leaves or shelves
that can be folded out to create
extra work space. Some come
withboxes to store soil or catchit
while you work.
POTTING

MINNEAPOLIS About a
dozen years ago, Paul and Su-
san Damon of St. Paul, Minn.,
did something radical: They de-
liberately killed half their lawn.
A few years later, they killed
the rest of it.
Gradually, theyve trans-
formed their city lot into a small
urban prairie, with more than
130 species of native plants.
We wanted to turn it into a
haven for birds and butterflies,
said Paul, a landscape architect.
And they succeeded; their gar-
den now attracts 75 to 80 spe-
cies of birds and sometimes
clouds of butterflies. When
we planted natives, all of a sud-
den, everything came to life,
Susan said.
Across the river in Minneapo-
lis, Wayne Beauchemin and Ja-
mie Becker also have eliminat-
ed all lawn from their land-
scape.
They started in front, with a
boulevard garden and shaded
woodland garden. Two years
ago, they replaced their back-
yard lawn with a French-style
cottage garden, inspired by
their travels. We decided,
Why dont we do that here and
pretend were in France? Beau-
chemin said.
An expanse of manicured turf
grass has been the default
American landscape for many
decades, but thats starting to
shift.
And while eliminating the
lawn completely is an unusual
step, more and more homeown-
ers are interested in having less
lawn and more garden or other
lawn alternatives. Reduced
lawn was recently identified as
a top trend by the American So-
ciety of Landscape Architects.
Its really changed, said
Evelyn Hadden of Plymouth,
Minn., an author and early less-
grass advocate. When she
founded Less Lawn (www.less-
lawn.com) in 2001, people in-
terested in the subject were re-
bels, on the fringe, she said.
Now you take your standard
gardener, and most of them
want to shrink their lawn. Its
OK to think about it now; its in
the public view, thanks to
growing eco-awareness and
mounting concerns about water
waste, pollution and energy
costs.
Even mainstream garden ex-
perts are seeing a subtle shift. I
dont think were seeing a big
move to eliminate all turf, said
Dale Bachman, chairman/CEO
of Bachmans, which helped
with the installation and sup-
plied plants for Beauchemin
and Beckers garden. But there
are definitely more rain gardens
and boulevard gardens, usually
at the expense of some turf, he
said. In a city lot, its not a bad
thing to do. You dont have un-
limited space.
Beauchemin, the gardener in
his household, was an early
adopter in the boulevard-gar-
den trend; he converted his
from grass to other plants in
1999. He was at the forefront,

Bachman said. A passionate gar-
dener who loves to experiment
with plants and move them
around, Beauchemin viewed his
back yard as the final frontier, ac-
cording to Bachman. For him, it
was kind of inevitable, to con-
quer that turf.
Instead of grass, Beauchemin
and Becker now have a garden
that covers the entire back yard,
with four quadrants, each a dif-
ferent color, unified by boxwood
and mulched paths and accent-
ed with specimen trees and a
collection of French flea-market
finds.
Its very Parisian to have a
hidden garden, Becker said.
The neighbors with balconies
tell us it makes their day to look
at the garden.
Its our hideaway, Beauche-
min said. It renews your ener-
gy, to come out and see color
and beauty. You can get lost
within the environment, more
than (when it was) just grass.
The landscape still takes
work, especially in fall and
spring, but I dont find it as bor-
ing as mowing, he said. Its
more like therapy.
The Damons, too, say their
enjoyment of their yard has in-
creased as their grass has de-
creased. Theyve been surprised
at the wide variety of bird and in-
sect species theyve been able to
attract to their small urban lot,
which is a certified Monarch
Waystation because it provides
habitat for those butterflies.
We were thinking about at-
tracting seed- and fruit-eating
birds, then we discovered the
properties of these plants to pro-
duce insects, Susan said. It
was my dream to have cedar
waxwings come to my garden.
As we planted native shrubs,
they showed up.
There even has been a visit
from the elusive Blackburnian
warbler. Its the only one Ive
seen in my life, and it was in this
garden.
The Damons garden, which is
featured in the books Birdscap-
ing in the Midwest and Had-
dens forthcoming Beautiful
No-MowYards, requires almost
no fertilizing and virtually no
watering. We only water when
plants are getting established,
Paul said.
The native plants they used
have adapted to our harsh cli-
mate and have deep roots, so
they dont need additional wa-
ter, Susan said.
But tending the garden still
takes time and effort.
Its the same amount of work,
but very different work, Paul
said. Its all quiet work. No
lawnmower. You can hear the
birds.

HMAFAPW00744, emphasizes
comfortable spaces that bring the family
together, starting
with the breezy
porch that wraps
around the entire
home.
Inside, the
home covers
2,407 square feet
of living space.
The spacious
foyer opens to the
living room on

ther in to the informal family room, with
its tiled-hearth fireplace and sunny
breakfast bay.
The U-shaped kitchen has a walk-in
pantry and a seated snack bar.
Upstairs, the generous master suite in-
cludes a window-seat dormer and a pri-
vate bath with a whirlpool tub, walk-in
closet, twin vanities and linen storage.
Three family bedrooms, one with a
window seat, share a full bath with dual
vanities. The central hall leads to addi-
tional linenstorage anda convenient sec-
ond-floor laundry room.

The sewing magazine
Threads shares its wisdom in
Threads Sewing Guide, a com-
pilation of its best information
about sewing.
The book is intended for
users of all sewing levels. It
covers supplies, fabrics, fitting
techniques and sewing pointers,
from creating a seam to hand-
stitching a couture garment.
It also contains sections
about quick fixes and stain
removal, useful information
even for people who arent
interested in making their own
clothes.
Threads Sewing Guide is
published by Taunton Press and
sells for $34.95 in hardcover.
Whats new
Light your fire more easily
with Zippos new Flexible Neck
Utility Lighter.
The lighter has a flexible,
extended neck with a slim noz-
zle that fits into the openings
on most grills and lanterns. The
company says the lighters dual
flames burn hotter and stron-
ger, so they start a fire faster
and stay lighted even when its
windy.
Other features include a
fuel-level indicator, an adjus-
table flame and a child-resistant
safety button.
The lighter comes in a satin
silver or rubberized flat black
finish. It can be ordered for
$19.95 plus shipping at
www.zippo.com. (Look in the
Products section, under the
Outdoor Line.)
Q&A
Question: I have an antique
rocking chair for a child cov-
ered in milk paint. I dont want
to remove the paint, but there
are patches on the seat and
arms where the paint has worn
off and the wood is so rough,
you cant sit on the chair. How
can I repair those patches to
make the chair usable? I dont
care about matching the origi-
nal paint.
Answer: Furniture refinisher
John S. Wilkie of Revere Refin-
ishing in Norton, Ohio, recom-
mends smoothing the rough
patches with 240-grit sandpa-
per. Then find a latex or acrylic
paint thats as close to the origi-
nal color as possible, thin it
with water to make an opaque
wash and apply it to the worn
areas. You wont need a lot of
paint, he said, so consider buy-
ing a sample-size bottle of latex
paint from a paint store or a
small bottle of acrylic craft
paint from a craft store.

Blessing
of the
Our Lady of Victory at Harveys
Lake will conduct the Annual
Blessing of the Boats, Sunday
June 12th at 3:30 PM, at the
Wardens Place Dock, which is
directly in front of the Church.
As usual, all denominations
are welcome to bring any water
craft that oats to the general
blessing, and then the individual
Drive-By blessing. There is no
better way to start out the sum-
mer boating season, then to ask
God to protect us all, and grant
us a summer of safe enjoyment
with family and friends.
For further information,
please call 639-1535.
