WILKES-BARRE – Luzerne County District Attorney Stefa- nie Salavantis offered two rea- sons Thursday why she is un- able to talk about developments in the Tyler Winstead homicide case. State law prohibits prosecu- tors from releasing any informa- tion involving a juvenile when a petition is filed charging the child with an offense other than a serious felony, Salavantis said, adding her second reason is the case remains an ongoing investigation. Salavantis said it would be premature to say what actually hap- pened to the 14-year-old high honors student at GAR High School since the investigation remains active.

In a unanimous decision, the three-judge panel of the 1st U.S. Cir- cuit Court of Ap- peals in Boston said the 1996 law deprives gay cou- ples of the rights and privileges granted to hetero- sexual couples. The court didn’t rule on the law’s more politically combustible provi- sion — that states without same-sex marriage cannot be forced to recog- nize gay unions performed in states where it’s le- gal. It also wasn’t asked to address whether gay cou- ples have a consti- tutional right to marry. The law was passed at a time when it appeared Hawaii would le- galize gay marriage. Since then, many states have instituted their own bans on gay marriage, while eight states have approved the prac- tice, led by Massachusetts in 2004. Thecourt, thefirst federal appeals panel toruleagainst thebenefits sec- tion of the law, agreed with a lower court judge who in 2010 concluded that the lawinterferes with the right of a state to define marriage and de- Marriage battle heads to top court An appeals court ruling on benefits for gay couples moves gay marriage issue forward.

HARRISBURG – One player matched all five winning numbers drawn in Thurs- day’s “Pennsylvania Cash 5” game and will win a jackpot worth $225,000. Lottery officials said 157 players matched four num- bers and won $100 each; 4,391 players matched three numbers and won $6 each; and 39,572 players matched two numbers and won $1 each.

The fundraiser, called “Bowl for Life,” was startedas a result of the multitude of medical expens- es the 48-year-oldHanover Town- ship resident faces on a daily ba- sis as she awaits confirmation that a donor match has been found. “Everyone in my family loved tobowl andmany of us were even in leagues,” Cologie said. “It just made sense to pick bowling.” Battling emphysema for more than 18 years, it was a blood test Cologie took in April of 2011that revealed her condition, called Al- pha-1 Antitryspin Deficiency, or A1AD. The deficiency is a result of the body’s inability to produce enough of a protein which pro- tects the lungs and liver from damage, thus making them ex- tremely susceptible to infection. As a result, Cologie must make regular visits to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia every three months. “Regardless of being pre-or- post surgery, I need to make those visits for the rest of my life,” she said. In addition to paying travel costs, maintaining her health is a daily expense that includes breathing treatments and a mul- titude of medications, not all of which are covered by her insur- ance. Cologie and her husband, John, reached out to HelpHOPE- Live, a nonprofit organization which assists transplant patients by helping theminitiate fundrais- ers. “They helped us get every- thing started, but they also helped us get the media involved and generate flyers,” Cologie said. It’s unknown when Cologie might get the call that a donor was found. But despite the uncertaintime- table, Cologie’s son, Cameron, saidhis mother has beenoptimis- tic from day one. “As soon as she got put on the transplant list, she put an emer- gency bag right next to the front door,” he said. “Then she handed me a list of people to call when word came in,” he said. As Cologie awaits the call that her lung transplant is ready, she hopes events like Saturday’s fun- draiser will do more than just spread awareness about A1AD. “It’s not only about raising awareness about the disease, but to illustrate the need for people to be donors,” she said. ‘Bowl for Life’ will benefit lung patient Tammy Cologie is awaiting confirmation for lung donor match.

Eddie Day Pashinski rallied sup- porters Thursday night at the opening of the local field office for the re-election of President Barack Obama. Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, drew cheers from the crowd of nearly 75 people packed into the storefront space at 70S. MainSt. as he described a widening di- vide between the rich and poor and the urgency of what had to be done with the general elec- tion 158 days away to defeat the presumptive Republican chal- lenger, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney . “I don’t have a problem with rich people,” he said, adding he wanted them to decide whether they loved the country more than their money. But from his viewpoint as an elected official, he said he was getting a good idea on how they would decide, especially based on the legislation presented by his counterparts in the Republi- can Party. “What I see happening is they love money more,” he said. He encouraged the volun- teers, many of themin their 20s, to“findthe energy” toworkhard to re-elect the president and bring out the vote. By sheer numbers there are more poor and middle class people than there are wealthy, he said. “They knowif we sticktogeth- er, they can’t win,” said Pashin- ski. State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D- Kingston, also pointed out the division between people and po- litical parties. In her 22 years in Harrisburg, Mundy said, “I have never seen the polarization of America the same way as I do today,” she said. She called for the middle class towake upandprotect their own interests. If they fail to do so, “We are headed for calamity,” she said. Mundy agreed with Bob Boyer, Wyoming mayor and chairman of the Luzerne County Democratic executive commit- tee, who spoke before her, and said it was a “no-brainer” to re- elect the president. The president has accom- plished a lot in his first termand can do more with a second term, added Camille Patchoski, a re- election campaign team leader for Kingston. “His accomplishments so far have been impressive given the opposition fromthe Republican- controlled Congress,” said Patchoski, 23, of Exeter. “Given another four years, I can only imagine how the nation will prosper.” The choice was also clear for Mario Balester, 28, of Mountain Top. “If Mitt Romney can’t run the state of Massachusetts, I don’t see how he can run the country any better than Obama can,” said Balester.

By JERRY LYNOTT [email protected] OXON HILL, Md. — Snigdha Nandipati heard a few words she didn’t know during the Na- tional Spelling Bee, but never when she stepped to the micro- phone. Calm and collected through- out, the 14-year-old from San Diego spelled “guetapens,” a French-derived word that means ambush, snare or trap, to win the 85th Scripps National Spelling Bee onThursday night. She beat out eight other final- ists in the nerve-wracking, brain-busting competition. After she spelled the word, she looked from side to side, as if unsure her accomplishment was real, and, oddly, she was not immedi- ately an- nouncedas the winner. Ap- plause built slowly, and a few pieces of confetti trickled out before showering her. Then her young- er brother ran on stage and em- braced her, and she beamed. “I knew it. I’d seen it before,” Nandipati said of the winning word. “I just wanted to ask ev- erything I could before I started spelling.” A coin collector and Sherlock Holmes fan, Nandipati aspires to become a physician or neuro- surgeon. She also plays violin and is fluent in Telugu, a lan- guage spoken in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. A semifinalist last year, Nan- dipati became the fifth consec- utive Indian-American winner and 10th in the last 14 years, a run that began in1999 when Nu- pur Lala won and was later fea- tured in the documentary “Spellbound.” Her parents and younger brother embraced her onstage, along with her maternal grand- parents, who traveled fromHyd- erabad, India, to watch her. Stuti Mishra of West Mel- bourne, Fla., finished second. Coming in third for the sec- ond consecutive year was Ar- vindMahankali of Bayside Hills, N.Y. At 12, the seventh-grader was the youngest of the nine fi- nalists, and he has one more year of eligibility remaining Nandipati’s prize haul in- cludes $30,000 in cash, a trophy, a $2,500 savings bond, a $5,000 scholarship, $2,600 in reference works from the Encyclopedia Britannica and an online lan- guage course.

Johnson, 25, of Wilkes-Barre, was taken into custody around 3:15 on North Main Street. He was committed to the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $25,000 straight bail. WILKES-BARRE – Police Thursday said they caught three people hiding behind a shower curtain in the bathroom of an apartment they broke in to at the Sherman Hills complex. Natalie Thomas, 24, of Kovel Street, Wilkes-Barre, Melvin Hall, 36, of Academy Street, Wilkes-Barre, and Dejanne Gause, 26, of Riverview Manor, Pittston used a piece of wood to break a window at an apartment to get inside, police said. Police responded to a report of a break-in in progress at ap- proximately 5:44 a.m. and saw a broken window on the side of building 324. They entered the apartment where the window was broken and found the three people in the bathroom.

POLICE BLOTTER Deleo NUANGOLA – Councilman John Kochan, who was deposed as chairmanof the sewer authority in January, was elected as president of borough council on Thursday night after his colleagues in a sur- prise move near the conclusion of the meeting voted out Regina Plodwick. Plodwick had been serving her second termas president. The move came when Council- woman Elaine Donahue made a motion to oust Plodwick. On a roll call vote, Donahue was supported by council members Joe Tucker, Ron Kaiser, Tony Deluca and Ko- chan. The lone no vote against the motion was cast by Councilman Ted Vancosky. Mayor Norman Rule then con- ducted a reorganizational meeting at which Kochan was elected by a 4-3vote. Tucker becamevicepresi- dent, succeeding Deluca, and Do- nahue, president pro-tempore, suc- ceeding Vancosky. Donahue’s action came at the end of a public comment segment of the session. When Plodwick asked if there is no other business, “I’ll entertainamotiontoadjourn,” Donahue responded, “Yes I have something. I move that Regina Plodwick step downas president.” That set off a chain of events that saw Kochan and Tucker concur with the motion and Kochan be- come the newchairmanof the sev- en-person body. Until the 2012 reorganizational meeting, Kochan had served as chairman of the sewer authority. Plodwick, enjoying a 4-3 majority on council, managed to have Ko- chan ousted from the authority and replaced by Vancosky. At the time, Plodwick had the support of Donahue, who was newly elected to council in November 2011. But at recent meetings Donahue had cast votes that opposed proposals made by Plodwick..

Raphael Musto that was scheduled to begin Monday has been postponed until Oct. 1. U.S. District Judge A. Richard Caputo continued the trial to allow more time for a physician to com- plete his assess- ment of whether Musto, who suffers from liver dis- ease, is too ill to stand trial. Musto, 83, was indicted by a grand jury in November 2010 on charges of honest services fraud, corrupt receipt of a reward for official action and false statements. Prosecutors allege Musto accepted money and gifts from a local businessman – identified by Musto’s attorneys as real estate developer Robert Mericle – for using his influence as a senator to assist Mericle’s projects. Caputo appointed Dr. K. Rajender Reddy, a gastroenterologist at the University of Pennsylvania, to review Musto’s medical records and exam- ine Musto if necessary. Musto’s attorneys on Wednesday advised the judge that Reddy has not yet completed his report, necessi- tating the continuance of the trial.

N E WS I N B R I E F Sharkey Musto Booker WYOMING – With a scar from a gunshot wound on his forehead, George Lee Barnes proclaimed his innocence in a deadly shooting at an Edwards- ville apartment complex. Barnes, 22, of MainStreet, Ed- wardsville, was returned Thurs- day from Philadelphia where he was capturedonMay25tofacea criminal homicide charge in the killing of Daron Rhashawn Trollinger, 26, on May 16. State police and Edwardsville police allege Barnes shot Troll- inger during a marijuana sale in- side an apartment building at Eagle Ridge on Beverly Drive. Trollinger, of Roosevelt Street, Edwardsville, was found with a gunshot wound to the chest behind the building. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Luzerne County Act- ing Coroner William Lisman. “No sir, I didn’t do it,” Barnes told reporters, adding he was the person who was shot. Barnes told investigators he was visiting a friendat the Eagle Ridge apartments when he was confronted by a Hispanic male witha handgun. Barnes claimed he was shot at during a struggle for the handgun that was pressed against his head. A round grazed Barnes’ fore- head above his left eye and ear. He was treated at Geisinger WyomingValleyMedical Center in Plains Township. Barnes was released from the hospital at about 10:55 a.m. on May 17. At about the same time he left the hospital, state police allegeinthecriminal complaint, they recovered a 22-caliber re- volver wrapped in a jacket hid- den in a kitchen cabinet and a bloody T-shirt inside Barnes’ apartment. About an hour before an ar- rest warrant was issued for Barnes on May 22, he allegedly called a waitress at an Edwards- ville restaurant saying he was leaving town. Two witnesses cited in the complaint were with Trollinger inside the apartment building. They told investigators Trollin- ger was at the building to sell marijuana when Barnes rushed through a door with a handgun. The witnesses fled the build- ing running across an athletic field when they allegedly heard gunfire, the complaint says. Barnes, originally from Eliza- beth, N.J., said he has no family in the area despite court records indicating he has lived in Wilkes-Barre, Kingston and Ed- wardsville since 2009.

WILKES-BARRE – A Phi- ladelphia native and self-de- scribed “Jersey Boy” who ended up running his own Florida home-improvement business, Brian Seymour sat on a balcony with a band of fellow military vets, drawing on a cigarette and talking of hopes that seemed to drift away as quickly as the tobac- co smoke. “I’m homeless,’ he conced- ed on Thursday, unprompt- ed. “One of the rules to stay in the shelter was I had to come here.” “Here” was a daylong Northeast Pennsylvania Vet- erans Employment Boot Camp on the third floor of King’s College Sheehy Farm- er Student Center.

See VETERANS, Page 14A Aaron Stredny has a recipe nobody would want to try. It’s called stinkwater – a nasty, putrid liquid that he brews inside the hot con- fines of a laundry sack. While the mixture of hay, egg whites, yeast and water certainly won’t tempt taste buds, it is a crucial component in theannual fight against West NileVirus. Andthis year the battle is off to anun- usually early start. The first positive test for the virus in Luzerne County occurred on May 8 from a mosquito collected in Jenkins Township. Last year the first positive test in the county wasn’t recorded until July 6. Luzerne was the fourth county in the state to record a positive test this year from either a mosquito, veterinarian or avian sample. As of Thursday, 12 coun- ties have reported positive tests. Stredny, the West Nile Virus program coordinator for the Luzerne Conserva- tion District, said it’s hard to tell if the early test indicates an above-average mosquito season awaits. “So far that is the only one we found, so we don’t know if it’s an anomaly or we’re ahead of the curve compared to a normal year,” Stredny said. According to the state Department of Environmental Protection website, there were 65 positive tests – all mos- quitoes, in Luzerne County last year. Stredny pointed out the record rainfall of 2011resultedinanabundance of plac- es for mosquitoes to breed. The species that carries the virus is the Culex mos- quito, which prefers the nastiest, smell- iest water in which to breed. That means places such as catch basins, swimming pool covers and even rain gutters all can hold the stagnant water that the Culex mosquito seeks.

Although she’s battling Stage III breast cancer on a daily basis, Lori Prashker-Thomas is travel- ing to Washington, D.C., today to walk in support of an organiza- tion at the forefront of that battle. Prashker-Thomas, 40, of Wilkes-Barre, will participate Saturday in the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure that starts at the Washington Monu- ment and proceeds along the Na- tional Mall to an outreach fair and “Komen Village” near the U.S. Capitol reflecting pool. “They’re at the forefront of try- ing to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. Even though they’ve had their issues this year, and there is no organization that hasn’t ever hadanissue, I just feel that they are still one of the best organizations to get this more to the forefront than it already is,” Prashker-Thomas said. So, why make the three-hour tripwhentherearelocal fundrais- ers for the Komen foundation? “Wherebetter thanthenation’s capital to try to make an impact? …If I’mgoing to walk, I want it to meansomething. Not that locally it wouldn’t, but I just feel that D.C. is the nation’s capital; it’s where things happen,” said Prashker-Thomas, who added that D.C. organizers told her she is the only person from Greater Wilkes-Barre or Scranton regis- tered to participate. Prashker-Thomas’ battle began just after Thanksgiving in 2010, whenshe was misdiagnosedwith Stage IIA breast cancer. She sought a secondopinionand, two weeks later, was correctly diag- nosed with Stage III breast can- cer. But having lost her job and health insurance, she couldn’t af- ford treatment that might have stopped it from spreading. “My husband made $10 a year too much to qualify” for state- funded health insurance, she said. If all provisions of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act had been in force at the time, “I do think at least I could have gotten proper treatment or at least prop- er care at that point,” she said. So Prashker-Thomas did on- line research, seeking out experi- mental clinical trials that might have provided treatment to stop the cancer from progressing. A close friend of hers, John Griffin, referred her to the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah, so she traveled there with her husband, Michael, and daughter, Melanie. But a battery of tests revealed she didn’t qual- ify for any of the trials. When Prashker-Thomas did find another job and acquire health insurance, she underwent eight months of massive chemo- therapy treatments. “I still worked, but there were days I couldn’t get out of bed,” she said. But subsequent tests showed that the cancer had spread to her bones and was inoperable. The Komen foundation re- ferred her to a holistic health practitioner, and she switched to a holistic lifestyle that includes a healthy diet, daily exercise and various therapies. The cancer has not gone into remission, but it hasn’t progressed, either. Prashker-Thomas said she’s not one to seek the spotlight, but shewent public withher storybe- cause she believes there must be others out there like her, people with cancer who don’t have and can’t afford health insurance. “There’s help out there. You just have to really find it and fight for it. I mean, you’re fighting for your life. You have to go out and fight to get what it is that you need. There are people out there who will listen and steer you in the right direction,” she said. For cancer sufferer, a capital idea Lori Prashker-Thomas heads for the most visible site in the Komen Race for the Cure.

M A K E A D I F F E R E N C E WILKES-BARRE – A Lu- zerne County judge on Wednes- day consolidated a lawsuit filed by the Northeastern Pennsylva- nia School Districts Health Trust against the Lake-Lehman School District, and another filing involving district teachers and support staff associations. Judge David Lupas combined the cases and scheduled one hearing in which Judge Lesa Gelb will hear preliminary injunctions in the case on June 18. In a suit filed this week, the health trust seeks to prevent the school district from with- drawing from its health insur- ance programs. On May 17 in county court, the Lake-Lehman Education Association and Lake-Lehman Educational Support Personnel Association filed an application for prelimi- nary injunction seeking to prevent the district from with- drawing from the health trust. Requests by the health trust and both associations to have a judge grant their preliminary injunctions without a hearing were denied. WILKES-BARRE – A Lu- zerne County judge has over- ruled requests of defendants to throw out a lawsuit in which the estate of former county Controller Steve Flood says it is owed legal fees to fight a defa- mation suit. Judge Thomas Burke over- ruled preliminary objections filed by Luzerne County, its former commissioners, former Treasurer Michael Morreale, and the Luzerne County Retire- ment Board. The defendants had asked that the suit be dismissed based on “insufficient specifici- ty” in the suit. The defamation suit, filed by former county pension fund money manager ASCO Fi- nancial Group Inc. over state- ments made by Flood on a November 2002 radio program, was discontinued in November, four months after Flood’s death. The Philadelphia-based Schnader, Harrison, Segal & Lewis sued Flood and his part- ner and guardian, Heather Paulhamus, in 2010, seeking $205,696 in legal fees for repre- senting him in the defamation suit. The county Retirement Board had initially voted to pay for Flood’s legal defense in the libel suit but reversed the deci- sion shortly after Flood lost his bid for re-election in 2005. The latest suit, filed by law- yers at Brady & Grabowski, P.C., argues that the retirement board owed Flood a defense and representation. COURT BRIEFS SCRANTON – A Forty Fort police officer has filed a federal lawsuit against the borough’s police chief and council presi- dent, alleging they violated his right to free speech. Peter Lakkis, no address list- ed, claims Police Chief Freder- ick Lahovski and Council Presi- dent JoeChackeissuedanorder inMarchthat requiredLakkisto seek written permission before he could speak to the mayor or any member of council. The suit, filed by attorney Cynthia Pollick, alleges the di- rective was made to preclude Lakkis from reporting unspeci- fied misconduct allegedly com- mitted by Lahovski. Lakkis said hesought permissiononMay21 tospeaktothe mayor, but it was denied. Lakkis alleges Lahovski and Chacke then retaliated against him by ordering him to perform duties other than those he would normally perform on patrol, in- cluding posting fliers on tele- phone poles and canvassing a neighborhoodfortheownerof sto- len sunglasses. When Lakkis’ attorney request- edthedefendantsceasetheirretal- iation, theyrespondedbyordering aninternal investigationof Lakkis, the suit says. Chacke did not immediately re- spond to an email seeking com- ment Thursday. Lahovski could not be reached for comment.

LOCAL BRIEFS HARRISBURG — Former Penn State assistant football coachJerrySandusky, facingtrial next week on charges he sexually abused 10 boys, on Thursday asked a state appeals court to re- view his case and to delay the criminal proceedings against him. The Superior Court’s online docket indicatedSanduskyfileda petitionfor reviewbut didnot ex- plain what he was seeking. Sand- usky also asked the court to seal the document, which was not available after business hours. The judge in Sandusky’s crimi- nal case, John Cleland, on Wednesday denied a defense re- quest for a continuance anda sec- ond request that would have giv- en Sandusky the right to seek im- mediate Superior Court review of that decision. Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendo- la, citing a gag order in the case, declined to comment on Thurs- day, as dida spokesmanfor the at- torney general’s office. Sandusky, 68, awaits trial on dozens of criminal charges alleg- ing he abused the boys, some on campus, over a15-year period. He has repeatedly denied the allega- tions and tried to delay the trial, scheduled to begin with jury se- lection on Tuesday and opening statements June 11.

Tom Corbett has signed execu- tion warrants for three men on death row. Darien Houser was convicted of the 2004 killing of a Philadelphia warrant officer attempting to serve a warrant on Houser for failing to appear at his rape trial. John Koehler Jr. is on death row for persuading a teenager to kill Koehler’s girlfriend and her 9-year-old son in Bradford County in 1995. Willie Clayton was found guilty in 1986 of killing two Philadelphia men during separate robberies, two months apart. Pennsylvania has executed only three people — all of who chose to end their appeals — since the U.S. Supreme Court restored the death penalty in 1976. The last was in 1999. Corbett’s office said Wednesday that he has signed 14 death warrants since taking office. RESERVE, N.M. Wildfire keeps spreading A massive wildfire in the New Mex- ico wilderness that already is the large- st in state history spread in all direc- tions Thursday, and experts say it’s likely a preview of things to come as states across the West contend with a dangerous recipe of wind, low humid- ity and tinder-dry fuels. The erratic Gila National Forest blaze grew overnight to more than 190,000 acres, or nearly 300 square miles, as it raced across the area’s steep, ponderosa pine-covered hills and through its rugged canyons. More than 1,200 firefighters are at the massive blaze near the Arizona border, which has destroyed 13 cabins and about a dozen outbuildings, fire information officer Iris Estes said. SEATTLE Shooting spree toll at 6 A city already anxious about a recent spate of shootings was rattled further when a man walked into an arts cafe near a Seattle university and opened fire, fatally wounding four people. Police say he later killed a woman during a carjacking before shooting himself. As officers closed in during a wide- spread manhunt on Wednesday, the suspect put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. He died at a hospi- tal, a hospital spokeswoman said. The five victims brought the number of homicides in Seattle so far this year to 21, matching the total for all of last year, and left city leaders wondering what could be done to stop the blood- shed. CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. SpaceX Dragon is home Triumphant from start to finish, the SpaceX Dragon capsule parachuted into the Pacific on Thursday to con- clude the first private delivery to the International Space Station and inaugu- rate NASA’s new approach to explora- tion. “Welcome home, baby,” said SpaceX’s elated chief, Elon Musk, who said the old-fashioned splashdown was “like seeing your kid come home.” He said he was a bit surprised to hit such a grand slam. “You can see so many ways that it could fail and it works and you’re like, ‘Wow, OK, it didn’t fail,”’ Musk said, laughing, from his company’s head- quarters in Hawthorne, Calif.

Sorry, but in New York City you could be out of luck. In his latest effort to fight obesity in this era of Big Gulps and triple bacon cheeseburgers, Mayor Michael Bloom- berg is proposing an unprecedented ban on large servings of soda and other sug- ary drinks at restaurants, delis, sports arenas and movie theaters. Drinks would be limited to16 ounces, whichis considereda small at many fast- food joints. “The percentage of the population that is obese is skyrocketing,” Bloom- berg said Thursday on MSNBC. He add- ed: “We’ve got to do something.” It is the first time anAmericancityhas directly attempted to limit soda portion sizes, and opponents again accused the three-term mayor of creating a “nanny state” and robbing New Yorkers of the right to choose for themselves. But city officials said they believe the plan — expected to win approval from the Bloomberg-appointed Board of Health and take effect as soon as March — will ultimately prove popular and push governments around the U.S. to adopt similar rules. “We have a crisis of obesity,” said city Health Commissioner Thomas Farley. “Peo- ple often go with the default choice, and if the default choice is somethingwhichis ve- ry unhealthy and is feeding into that health crisis, it’s ap- propriate for the gov- ernment to say, ‘No, we think the default choice should be healthier.”’ The soft drink industry responded with scathing criticism, even as the ad- ministration said it felt certain the com- panies could simply trim back their of- ferings from 20-ounce bottles to 16- ounce bottles — reversing a trend that has been under way for dec- ades. In the 1950s, McDonald’s of- fered only one size for soft drinks: 7 ounces, city officials said. Coca-Cola called the ban an “ar- bitrary mandate.” The ban would apply only to sweet- ened drinks over 16 ounces that contain more than 25 calories per 8 ounces. (A 12- ounce can of Coke has about 140 calories.) It would not affect diet soda or any drink that is at least half milk or milk substitute. NYC puts squeeze on soda Mayor wants ban on large sizes By SAMANTHA GROSS Associated Press GREENSBORO, N.C. — John Ed- wards’ campaign finance fraud case end- edina mistrial Thursday whenjurors ac- quitted him on one charge and dead- locked on the other five, unable to de- cide whether he used money from two wealthy donors tohide his pregnant mis- tress while he ran for president and his wife was dying of cancer. The monthlong trial exposed a sordid sex scandal, but prosecutors couldn’t convince jurors the candidate master- minded a cover-up using about $1 mil- lion, and ultimately, jurors decided taw- dry didn’t necessarily mean criminal. “While I do not believe I did anything illegal, or ever thought I was doing any- thingillegal, I didanawful, awful lot that was wrong and there is no one else re- sponsible for my sins,” Edwards said on the courthouse steps. The jury’s decision came on a confus- ing day. The judge initially called jurors in to read a verdict on all six counts, be- fore learning that they had only agreed to one. About an hour later, the jury sent the note to the judge saying it had ex- hausted its discussions. It was not immediately clear whether prosecutors would retry Edwards on the other counts. When the not guilty verdict was read, Edwards choked up, put a single finger to his lip andtook a moment to compose himself. He turnedtohis daughter, Cate, in the first row and smiled. When the judge declared the mistrial and discharged the jury, Edwards hugged his daughter, his parents and his attorneys. Later, he thanked the jury and his family, evenchokingupwhentalking about the daughter he had with his mis- tress Rielle Hunter. He called Francis Quinn Hunter precious “whom I love, more than any of you can ever imagine and I am so close to and so, so grateful for. I am grateful for all of my children.” The jury reached a verdict on count three, which involved $375,000 given by elderly heiress Rachel “Bunny” Mellon in 2008. The other counts dealt with $350,000 Mellon gave in 2007, money from wealthy Texas attorney Fred Bar- on, filing a false campaignfinance report and conspiracy.

Edwards case ends in mistrial Jurors acquit the former presidential candidate on one count, but deadlock on five other charges. By MICHAEL BIESECKER Associated Press FREMONT, Calif. — Stunts, stage- craft, scripts —and a touch of the sur- real — shaped the presidential cam- paign Thursday as Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama sought an edge on voters’ No. 1issue, the econo- my. On one coast, Romney made a sur- prise trip to the former California headquarters of solar-panel manufac- turer Solyndra to accuse Obama of currying favor with campaign sup- porters by giving a federal loan to the green energy company that later went bankrupt. “This half-a-billion-dollar taxpayer investment represents a serious con- flict of interest on the part of the pres- ident and his team,” the Republican presidential candidate said as he stood outside the shuttered company and held it up as Exhibit A of presi- dential missteps on the economy. At roughly the same time across the country in Boston, Obama’s cam- paign staged its own event outside Massachusetts’ Statehouse to argue that Romney’s record as governor from 2003 to 2007 proves he is ill-pre- pared to manage the nation’s econo- my. “Romney economics didn’t work then and it won’t work now,” Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod said at a news conference, pointing to a poor record of job creation, in- creased fees and the addition of $2.6 billion to the state’s debt on Romney’s watch. Axelrod’s appearance attracted sev- eral dozen Romney supporters, in- cluding many who protested loudly by chanting “Where are the jobs?” and holding signs that said “Obama isn’t working.” Obama, himself, stayed above the fray of the day, embracing an opportu- nity to appear presidential as his Re- publican rival struggled to draw at- tention to his campaign. The Democratic incumbent was at the White House on Thursday. He ap- peared with former President George W. Bush, the man he repeatedly blames for the nation’s economic tur- moil, for the unveiling of Bush’s offi- cial portrait during a rare, nonpoliti- cal event in an election year. Obama kept a bipartisan tone dur- ing the unveiling. “We may have our differences polit- ically, but the presidency transcends those differences. We all love this country,” Obama said as the last two Republican presidents, George W. Bush, and his father, George H.W. Bush, looked on.

By KASIE HUNT Associated Press COPENHAGEN, Denmark — The U.S. is heaping new pressure on Russia to change course and support interna- tional action in Syria, warning that in- transigence by Moscow may lead to opencivil war that couldspill across the Middle East with devastating effects. SpeakingonRussia’s doorstepinDen- mark, Secretary of State Hillary Rod- ham Clinton derided the Russian gov- ernment for continuing to support Syr- ian President Bashar Assad, even after last week’s massacre of more than 100 people in the town of Houla. In pointed remarks Thursday, she said Russia’s po- sition “is going to help contribute to a civil war” and rejected Russian officials’ insistence that their stance actually is helping to ease the crisis. On the first stop of a European tour, Clinton said Russia and China would have to be on board before the U.S. and other nations might engage in what could become a protracted conflict in support of a disorganized rebel force. Russia, along with China, has twice vetoed U.N. Security Council sanctions against Syria. Russia is Syria’s closest al- ly other than isolated Iran, and Clinton said that without its support the inter- national community is essentially fro- zen from taking concrete steps to end the violence. In Washington, despite revulsion over the Houla massacre, officials said the administration remains deeply con- cerned about the possible consequenc- es of military action. But as the violence continues, they acknowledge that plan- ning for some sort of intervention is un- der way.

Lemmond Jr., long- time Pennsylvania State Sen- ator and community leader, died Wednesday, May 30, 2012 in Com- monwealth Hospice at St. Luke’s Villa, Wilkes-Barre, following a brief illness. He was 83. Born in Hazleton on January 17, 1929, to Charles D. and Ruth Zierdt Lemmond, Charles grewupinForty Fort and attended Forty Fort schools, graduating as president of his senior class. After a stint in the United States Army of Occupation where he saw service in Italy, Charles attended Harvard with support from the GI Bill and majored in government. He excelled as the principal trumpet player in the Harvard Band and was spotlighted in an article in Collier’s Magazine entitled, “Harvard Never Loses at Half-time.” He receivedanA.B. fromHarvard in 1952 and then went on to receive an L.L.B. from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Law. Char- les served as a law clerk for The Honorable Max Rosenn and was ad- mitted to the Pennsylvania Bar, the Luzerne County Bar and many years later, was honored to be ad- mitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. Following lawschool, Charles re- turned to the Wyoming Valley where he met and married Barbara Northrup. The couple lived briefly in Glen Summit and Forty Fort be- fore moving to Dallas, where they have lived for more than 50 years and raised four children: Charles Lemmond, Austin, Texas; John Lemmond, Virginia Beach, Va.; Ju- dith Lemmond, Dallas; and David Lemmond, New York City, N.Y. Duringhis early years as a lawyer, Charles was aprincipal inthefirmof Silverblatt and Townend, and he served as solicitor for a number of municipal entities, including the Lake-Lehman School District, Dal- las Borough and Exeter Township. He was tapped by Luzerne County District Attorney Blythe Evans for the position of First Assistant Dis- trict Attorney, and in that role he prosecuted and won a number of high profile criminal cases. In1980, hewas appointedbyGov- ernor DickThornburghtoserve as a judge of the Luzerne County Court of CommonPleas, where he was the Orphans’ Court Judge. When Senator Frank O’Connell announced his retirement from the Pennsylvania Senate, Charles was encouragedby PatrickJ. Solano, Re- publican Party strategist, to throw his hat into the ring for the vacant Senate seat. After winning the Re- publican nomination in a hotly con- tested race, Charles went on to win the Special Election in a landslide. He was the Senator of the 20th Sen- atorial District from 1985 until his retirement in November 2006. Often referred to by his col- leagues as “The Gentleman of the Senate,” Charles chaired the State Government Committee and was Vice Chair of the Judiciary Commit- tee. He was a member on the Crimi- nal Justice Commission and the Reapportionment Task Force of the National Conference of State Legis- latures, and served as Vice Chair of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency Board of Direc- tors. His experience as a judge served the Commonwealth well when he was named to the Senate Impeach- ment Trial Committee that weighed the charges against Supreme Court Justice Rolf Larsen. He sponsored many pieces of leg- islation, with none providing more personal satisfaction than the law requiring hearing screening for newborns. Charles was an active and in- volved participant in many commu- nity organizations. He was a Thirty- Third Degree Mason, a member of the Caldwell Consistory, andserved as Potentate of the Nobility of Irem Shriners in 1979.

He was a Lay Leader of the First UnitedMethodist Churchof Wilkes- Barre, and over a period of years served in many leadership roles in the Wyoming Conference of the United Methodist Church. Charles’s commitment to his community was acknowledged in the citation for an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Humane Letters award- ed him by Wilkes University in 2000. Then-Wilkes President Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth cited him as “a man of unblemished integrity and broad popularity” who had ap- plied his “judicial temperament to the cause of good government.” Further acknowledgement of his good works was provided by Miser- icordia University in the naming of its campus performing arts center as the Lemmond Theater. In addition to his wife and chil- dren, Charles is survived by a broth- er, George H.

Her courses are demanding, but she always believes in me and my potential and inspires me to believe in myself. Experiencing her love of learning has fostered that same love in me, and her passion for teaching has made me an even more eager and dedicated stu- dent, both in and out of the classroom. Work experience: Schiel’s Family Market, Cashier/ front end supervisor (Octo- ber 2009-present) What college or post- secondary school do you plan to attend? Boston College, Georgetown Uni- versity or Syracuse Uni- versity What are your career goals? I am undecided about my major and what field I would like to enter after college, but I am de- termined to delve into the college experience and learn as much as I can so that, when I leave, I am pre- pared to be successful and able to make a difference in our world. What has been the big- gest challenge you have faced? My greatest chal- lenge so far has been effec- tively managing my time, especially this year. Balanc- ing school, work and extra- curricular activities and still find time for myself has been difficult. Do you have a hidden talent or something even close friends don’t know about you? Almost every- one I meet is surprised to discover that I love listening to rap and hip-hop music.

During the summer I also volunteer for the summer reading program for children at the McBride Memorial Library. Favorite courses: Chemistry II (honors) and AP Literature and composition. Chemistry is my favorite subject because it requires abstract thinking and hard work to master the mate- rial. I loved AP literature and composition because I love to read and analyze books. Teacher who influenced you the most? Why? My chemistry teacher, Mr. John Allen helped me to develop a deep love and respect for science, aided me in discovering my talent in chemistry, and brought out my leadership skills through work- ing with others in labs.

Drexel University What are your career goals? I am not completely sure of the career I want, but I am sure of my interests: chem- istry, international relations and politics. As of now, I am thinking of pursuing engineer- ing, specifically chemical engi- neering. What has been the biggest challenge you have faced? Coping with the divorce of my parents. When they divorced, my entire world turned upside down. However, as time went on, I became very close to my mother and sister, and they are the reason I am the strong young woman I am today. Do you have a hidden talent or something even close friends don’t know about you? I absolutely love to write. I will write anything, from a research paper to a novel, quite happily. I am the only student in the class who ac- tually jumps for joy when an essay is assigned! I am also very interested in politics and the current presidential cam- paign. Also, other cultures fascinate me, and I hope to travel the entire world some day.

The Observer-Reporter of Washington, Pa. ) reports Thursday that South Strabane police investigating the thefts from a Sam’s Club store have learned from other depart- ments that more than 700 bat- teries have been stolen from those stores and Walmart in 12 Pennsylvania and Ohio towns in recent weeks. Police say two men driving a white Penske box truck are suspected of driving to the stores and taking the batteries. About 45 were stolen from the South Strabane Sam’s Club and 200 from a Walmart in Rostrav- er Township, Westmoreland County. The batteries are turned in by customers who buy new ones.

CHARLES LEMMOND JR. C M Y K PAGE 10A FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 2012 THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com ➛ N E W S Schweiker as the governor signed into law a bill mandating hearing screenings for all infants born in the state. At the time, in an interview with The Times Leader, Lem- mond said, “Unless you or some- one you know or work with has faced up to the challenge (of hearing impairment), you don’t know how important it is (to de- tect and treat the problem).” He was among the thousands of state residents dealing with hear- ing loss, though his was caused by life factors, not something he was born with. Lemmond wore hearing aids for decades to offset damage caused by exposure to artillery fire and other explosives in his vi- cinity during his 18 months of service in the U.S. Army. Lem- mond said he also likely sus- tained hearing loss from hunting and loud music – he played in bands from fourth grade until graduating from law school. Also sitting next to Schweiker at that December 2001 bill sign- ing was Dr. Louis Siemenski, whowas instrumental inthe bill’s creation. In 1994, the audiologist from Shavertown pioneered a screen- ing program for hearing loss in newborns at Nesbitt Hospital in Kingston. The hospital auxiliary donated the equipment and he volunteered his services to en- sure all babies born at the hospi- tal had a hearing screening. At the time the average age of diag- nosis for hearing impairments was 18 months, but with Siemen- ski’s program infants were diag- nosed at birth and fit with hear- ing aids by three months. Not long after the programat Nesbitt began, Lemmond visited Sie- menski’s office; he was intrigued by an infant having a hearing aid and asked about the program. The quest to pass a statewide infant hearing screening bill be- gan. Lemmond was able to get a pi- lot programgoing in1996 that al- located funds for 20 hospitals across the state including Nes- bitt. The results from that pro- gram were enough to lead to the bill gaining unanimous approval in both chambers in 2001. Siemenski, whose office is in Kingston, lamented Lemmond’s loss on Thursday and said hun- dreds of thousands of children in Pennsylvania are better off today because of him. A picture from the bill signing event sits on Siemenski’s desk with a pen used at the proceed- ing. Siemenski also has a note fromLemmond that says: “It was you Lou. It couldn’t have been done without you.” But Siemenski has a different take. “He was wrong. It couldn’t have been done without Charlie Lemmond,” he said. On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Ches- ter, issued a statement on Lem- mond’s passing that referenced the initiative. “Charlie was a true gentleman in every sense of the word, a man who always wore an honest smile. He loved the people of the 20thDistrict, andhe servedthem withintegrity. His worktoensure that Pennsylvania newborns are screened for hearing loss is a leg- acy for whichhe will always be re- membered,” Pileggi said. Over the course of more than two decades in the Senate, Lem- mond left an impact. At the local level, Lemmond supported governors’ nomina- tions of Democrats to the Lu- zerne County Court of Common Pleas. At the state level, he bucked the national GOP posi- tion in 1989 when he voted against a lawthat tightened abor- tion restrictions in Pennsylvania. Among Lemmond’s legislative accomplishments: authoring a law that allows district justices and judges to consider an adult defendant’s juvenile record in de- termining bail; a law imposing tougher punishments for repeat drug offenders; a law providing for the housing of state prisoners in federal prisons; and a law pro- viding sentencing procedures for first degree murder. He also wrote Pennsylvania’s living-will law. Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati lauded Lemmond’s life and career on Thursday. “He was highly respected by his colleagues here in the Senate for his honesty, fairness and dedi- cationto doing the right thing for the people of Pennsylvania. Char- lie will be remembered for nu- merous accomplishments, in- cluding helping community orga- nizations, reforming elder laws to protect the dignity of senior ci- tizens, and championing living will legislation.” HEARING Continued from Page 1A Baker: ‘Second father’ Lemmond is survived by his wife, Barbara, daughter, Judy, and sons Chuck, John and David. As theLemmondfamilygathered at their Lehman Avenue home in Dallas Thursday, Baker said she had lost her “second father.” Driving home fromEnid, Okla. where she watched her son, Car- son, compete in the Junior Col- lege World Series for Lackawan- na College, Baker reflected on her mentor and talked about her love and admiration for Lem- mond. “I feel so fortunate to have had such a deep personal and profes- sional relationship with him my entire life,” saidBaker, who was 4 years old when her family moved next door to the Lemmond home in Dallas in 1965. “I learned so much from him and I respected him all my life.” Baker served as Lemmond’s chief of staff from 1985-95 when she left to join the staff of Gov. TomRidge. She pointed to sever- al projects the Republican sen- ator worked on to benefit the re- gion, including the MoheganSun Arena at Casey Plaza, the Tunk- hannock Bypass and the Back Mountain Regional Recreation Complex. Baker said Lemmond lobbied Ridge to ensure the funding for the arena wasn’t lost while the battle for anInterstate 81exit was being waged. “He always set high standards for his staff and himself,” Baker said. “He believed the higher you set your standards, the higher the results. He never wantedto settle for mediocre.” Community remembers Republican Party leader Pat Solano of Pittston Township knew Lemmond for decades and said his substance and advice were “immeasurable.” “I’m sad over my friend,” Sola- no said of Lemmond’s passing. “I have never known a more honor- able and knowledgeable guy.” Solano said Lemmond never sought the spotlight, but when he did get behind a microphone, he was always preparedandhada lot to say. “He was never a glory seeker,” Solano said. “He affected many laws, he made things better. He always had solid, good common sense.” Solano said when he was Lu- zerne County Republican Party chairman, Lemmond was a mem- ber of the Young Republicans. “We will have a major void in just the wisdomthat always came from Charlie,” Solano said. “Wis- dom he had on all issues.” Michael MacDowell, president of Misericordia University, said Lemmond relished that he shared his birthday with Benja- min Franklin. “I’ve thought a lot about Char- lie today; there’s so much to say,” MacDowell said. “He was a true gentleman – sometimes that’s missing in politics today. He al- ways made decisions that he thought were best for everybo- dy.” MacDowell said Lemmond was proud that he was able to cross the political aisle and get things done. Lemmond had a great understanding of democra- cy and history, MacDowell said. “Hegenuinelycaredabout peo- ple,” he said. “He looked out for people and institutions in the ar- ea.” Lemmond was noted for intro- ducing people. “It was of his most endearing characteristics,” MacDowell said. “My wife and I visited him in the hospital recently. Charlie sat upandsaid, ‘Let meintroduce you to my nurse.’ He treated ev- erybody with great respect.” Lemmond had an eclectic side, as well, having played first trum- pet inthe Harvardband. He loved American jazz music. WhenMisericordia openedthe Lemmond Theater, MacDowell said the Boston Brass played in honor of Lemmond. “If you scratched Charlie, he was a mile deep,” MacDowell said. “He loved music, athletics, faith and he was brilliantly edu- cated. HowmanyFortyFort High School graduates went to Har- vard and the University of Penn- sylvania Law School?” Former state Rep. Kevin Blaum, a Democrat, left the state legislature the same year as Lem- mond – 2006. “Simply put, he was a great man,” Blaumsaid. “Charlie is the perfect example of being able to get things done through honesty and integrity. He was a very spe- cial man.” Helped community library Ernie Ashbridge, a member of the Back Mountain Library Board of Directors and chairman of the Auction Advisory Commit- tee, said Lemmond and his wife, Barbara, were great supporters. “It’s a shame” Ashbridge said of Lemmond’s death. “It’s such a tremendous loss tothecommuni- ty. He did a lot for everybody.” Ashbridge said Lemmond was involved with the library for dec- ades. “I knowhe was involvedlonger than me and I’ve been there 52 years,” Ashbridgesaid. “It was ve- ry dear to his heart.” Luzerne County Court of Com- mon Pleas Judge Dick Hughes workedwithLemmondat the Sil- verblatt & Townend law firm. “His passing is tragic for all who knew him and for the com- munity,” Hughes said. “Everybody’s lives were affect- ed positively by Charlie Lem- mond. He personified integrity; he was a role model for so many of us.” Stevens, the state Superior Court president judge, described Lemmond as a “wonderful, kind and intelligent man.” Stevens said when he was in the state House of Representatives, Lem- mond was in the Senate and the two worked together on several initiatives. “His presence in the communi- ty will be missed,” Stevens said. “He always had the best interests of the area at heart. He never had his own agenda.” Tribute from governor Corbett said he and his wife, Sue, have lost a friend. “Charlie was a friend to all of Pennsylvania,” Corbett said. “He was a great leader who had great common sense. He had the abil- ity to look at an issue and explain it clearly.” Corbett said he never heard a cross word come from Lem- mond’s lips. “He will be sorely missed,” the governor said.

Sallie Mae’s Toastmasters Club chartered internationally “Charlie Lemmond was a positive force in my life in so many ways – friend, mentor, adviser, role model.” State Sen. Lisa Baker The former aide to state Sen. Charles Lemmond reflected Thursday on the influence that the longtime legislator and former Luzerne County judge had on her. Lemmond, of Dallas, died this week at age 83. Forgo all that emailing for a face-to-face chat R ecently, I took an interest in promoting good old-fashioned conversation. This interest was fueled by reading an opinion piece in The New York Times called “The Flight From Conversation,” by psychologist Sherry Turkle. In it, she writes: “We live in a technological universe in which we are always communicating. And yet we have sacrificed conversation for mere connection.” After I read the column, I thought of a way that I might promote conversation: When out with my friends or family for lunch, I try persuading them to make that lunch texting-free. Having texting-free lunches served me, because my pet peeve was companions finding it necessary to send and receive text messages while out with me; however, texting-free lunches with family or friends provided the means to just have nice chats together. I ask you to think about cutting down on texting in favor of having a conversation. Christine Lockavich Kingston Entire community makes school benefit a success T he Solomon-Plains Memorial Junior High School community extends sin- cere appreciation to all those people who helped make the M & M Benefit a tremendous success. The number of local and national busi- nesses that contributed through financial and product support was unrivaled. In addition, we cannot go without saying how a phenomenal community came together by purchasing tickets for the dinner, raf- fles, art auctions and the talent show. The community’s support was selfless and kind beyond words; this shows the compassion that a community holds for their own. Of course, it is impossible to list each company, organization and family that has helped. So, to all, we want to extend heart- felt thanks for all you have done, not only for us, but also for our two students and their families that have benefitted so great- ly by such generosity and compassion. We are blessed and humbled by our community, and we are forever indebted to you for your thoughtfulness and unwa- vering support.

A new report issued last month by the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Contain- ment Council found that two of every 15 adult hospital stays in the state in 2010, or 13.5 percent, were followed by readmission within 30 days. More than a third of those, 5.6 percent, were specifically because of an infection or a complication related to the original visit. The report contains some of the most comprehensive research yet done on readmissions. For Medicare patients in this state for only one year, 2009, our council reported that payments for readmission cases reac- hed nearly a half billion dollars. The Medi- care Payment Advisory Commission has estimated that nationally, potentially pre- ventable readmissions might account for as much as $12 billion per year in medical costs. That is one reason the federal govern- ment is scheduled to implement a new pol- icy later this year, reducing Medicare reim- bursements to hospitals that have an excess of preventable readmissions for certain conditions. If the program had begun in 2010, half of all hospitals in the country would have been affected. The phrase “preventable readmissions” is worth noting, because not all repeat visits are avoidable. A wide variety of factors can affect readmission rates, including what happens to the patient in the hospital, but also involving the patient’s ability or willing- ness to follow discharge instructions, access to transportation, diet, child care, insurance coverage and more. But while addressing the problem is complex, it is nevertheless an area that shows great promise for lowering costs – not by cutting service to patients, but rather by producing better, more effi- cient patient outcomes. More than 150 Pennsylvania hospitals are participating in the Hospital Engagement Network, part of the federal Partners for Patients Initiative, under the leadership of the Hospital & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania. The program will implement strategies to reduce preventable hospital- acquired conditions, readmissions and com- plications during hospital stays. According to the Philadelphia-based Healthcare Im- provement Foundation, hospitals that partic- ipated in Southeastern Pennsylvania’s PAVE Project realized a 10 percent reduction in 30-day readmission rates, with an estimated $8 million in savings. The PAVE Project was funded by the Partnership for Patient Care, a collaboration among hospitals, providers and Independence Blue Cross. Other programs sponsored by the Society of Hospital Medicine, Highmark and the University of Colorado-Denver School of Medicine, as well as some hospital and regional collaboratives, are under way in Pennsylvania to improve patient transitions and avoid adverse events in the hospital. In some parts of the state, for example, hospitals are assigning nurse case managers to consult with patients before discharge, then to follow up with home visits to make sure that patients and their families or in- home caregivers understand medication usage and other instructions. Such pro- grams have resulted in significant decreases in readmissions. Despite those efforts and the successes already achieved, the medical community and government policymakers still have work ahead in understanding the causes behind repeat hospital visits. The availabil- ity of good data is a key part of any effort to reduce readmissions. Among the key challenges will be learning which readmissions are truly preventable and what kinds of conditions or circum- stances are most commonly associated with readmissions, then working aggressively to curtail them. The information in the coun- cil’s report can help doctors, hospital staff and service providers focus on areas with the greatest potential for improvement. It also can be used to help guide patients to do their part in preventing a return trip to the hospital. Joe Martin is executive director of the Harrisburg- based Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council. The readmissions report can be found at www.PHC4.org. Billions wasted because of repeat hospital admissions COMMENTARY J O E M A R T I N F OR DECADES, space has been the exclusive province of govern- ment. But that’s no longer true, after Space Explo- ration Technology Corp. suc- cessfully docked its Dragon capsule at the International Space Station and on Thursday guided it back to Earth. SpaceX, as the company is called, has a $1.6 billion con- tract with NASA to deliver car- go to the space station and $1 billioninorders for future satel- lite launches from commercial concerns. SpaceX is also one of several space companies competing to someday carry astronauts to the space station. This is a historic shift, one that harnesses the dynamism of competition to space travel and transport, just as commer- cial aviation was substantially developedbytheprivatesector. With the retirement of the space shuttle, America’s space program seemed to hit a dead end. But the new policy of con- tracting out the work has opened fresh avenues for aero- space development. The Kansas City Star OTHER OPINION: PRIVATE BUSINESS Space development gets historic lift A PPARENTLY THE educators who com- prise the Northeast Pennsylvania School District Health Trust, the Lake- LehmanSchool District andthe district’s teacher and support staff unions all have forgotten that fundamental kindergarten lesson: Play well together. The Trust is a consortium of area public education entities formed in 1999 to lower health insur- ance premiums. It has a rocky history: lots of red ink and high premium in- creases in early years, a stretch of burgeon- ing surpluses and scant increases, and recent re- turn to double-digit premium hikes. But it reached a newcrescen- do of acrimony this month as Lake-Lehman and other dis- tricts look to leave the Trust in the belief that big savings are available elsewhere. Districts have tried to leave the Trust before, for the same reason. Some attempts were blockedbyunionlegal efforts or dropped when union negotia- tions created the savings sought. Two districts – Dallas and Pittston Area – left in 2007, thenaskedfor what theyargued was their share of the Trust sur- plus. The Trust balked, a lawsuit ensued. TheTrust lost, andnow owes the two districts more than $7 million combined, though an appeal is pending. This year, a severely cash- strapped Lake-Lehman tried a new ploy, using the Trust for dental and vision coverage but going to another broker for health insurance. Superintend- ent JimMcGoverncontendsthe move satisfies a requirement that districts give one-year’s no- tice before withdrawing. McGovern insists the new coverage, while saving the dis- trict more than $1 million, is equal or superior to that provid- edthroughtheTrust. Theunion says it isn’t, and filed a union grievance, an unfair labor prac- tice and a request for a court in- junction. The Trust followed suit by suing the district for vio- lating the Trust agreement Thecontradicto- ry contentions be- tween Lake-Leh- man administra- tion and the unions have yet to play out sufficient- ly toknowwhois right. But this much is clear: Member districts are showing increasing and in- tense dissatisfaction with the Trust’s performance, and the Trust needs to stop meeting those complaints with legal ac- tion. It is time for the Trust board, comprised primarily of teacher union reps and district adminis- trators, as well as Trust Execu- tive Director AndrewMarko – a retired Wyoming Valley West School District superintendent, to take a hard, fresh look at how it is doing things. Rather than fighting districts that see sav- ings elsewhere, Trust officials should meet with those dis- tricts andreviewthose findings. Work with them. Follow their lead or showthemconclusively why their plan is flawed. Stopdefendingthestatusquo and start aggressively pursuing the savings that Dallas has real- ized and McGovern says he has found. After all, the goal of the Trust should be improve oper- ations at member school dis- tricts rather than complicate matters. OUR OPINION: SCHOOL COVERAGE Health Trust needs new tack It is time for the Trust board … to take a hard, fresh look at how it is doing things.

JONES Editorial Page Editor EDITORIAL BOARD MALLARD FILLMORE DOONESBURY ➛ S E RV I NG T HE P UB L I C T RUS T S I NC E 1 8 81 Editorial C M Y K PAGE 14A FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 2012 THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com ➛ N E W S to kill the mosquito larvae be- fore it can reach the adult stage, he said, so areas with standing water are treated with larvacide, which can continue to kill for 30 days after an appli- cation. Larvaciding is focused on hotspots – areas known for holding stagnant water or those places that have pro- duced positive results in the past. In Luzerne County, Stred- ny said towns such as Wyom- ing, West Wyoming, Plains, Pittston, Hanover and Nanti- coke have plenty of hotspot ar- eas. Trapping allows Stredny to further focus larvacide applica- tions. The traps are baited with the stinkwater brew, and Stred- ny collects mosquitoes, kills them with dry ice (which pre- serves the virus, if present) and ships themto DEP’s lab in Har- risburg for testing. “Killing them in the larval stage is our top priority. We want to get the population down so the adults don’t come off,” he said. “If we get a site with more than one positive test, we’ll bring in the truck and spray for adults as well.” Spray application available There is a spray application to kill adult mosquitoes, but Stredny said it’s not as effective as larvaciding because it only kills the insects while they are flying. Mosquitoes rest under leaves, Stredny said, and as a result avoid the spray. Stredny is already encoun- tering adult mosquitoes in some areas, such as the Moon- light Drive-In located in West Wyoming. “It’s a nightmare of a site be- cause it holds an acre of stand- ing water at times,” he said. “I was at another hotspot on Wednesday and there were a ton of adult mosquitoes flying around.” Catch basins and storm drains present another chal- lenge not only with the sheer number in the county, but the ripe breeding conditions they present. Stredny maps every storm drain and catch basin by mu- nicipality and treats them with a larvacide brickette that is ef- fective for 150 days. Peak mosquito season Despite an early positive test this year, Stredny said he won’t know what’s in store for Lu- zerne County until the peak of mosquito season hits in August and September. Until then Stredny and his crew will continue spraying hotspots, collecting samples and baiting traps with the stinkwater brew. “We’ve really become effi- cient with this and so far there hasn’t been a human case in the county since I took over the program three years ago,” Stredny said. “My goal is to keep West Nile Virus out of the human population and we’re getting better at doing that.” MOSQUITO Continued from Page 3A According to DEP’s website, the last human case of West Nile Virus in Luzerne County was in 2003 when three cases were reported. Mosquito season runs from April to October and Lu- zerne Conservation District staff will conduct spraying and sample collections from traps during that time.

L A S T H U M A N C A S E S Residents can join the battle against West Nile Virus by taking the following steps: • Empty containers that collect and hold water (including tires, tin cans, buckets, tarps, etc.). • Empty and change water in bird baths, flower pot trays, cemetery urns, pet dishes, rain barrels and wading pools. • Clean debris from rain gutters and keep swimming pools treated and circulating. • Drain or fill puddles with dirt. • Stock ornamental ponds with fish which will consume mosquito larvae. • Use mosquito repellents con- taining DEET when necessary and follow label directions and precautions carefully, especially with children. • Make sure window and door screens are “bug tight.” • Horse owners are encouraged to contact their veterinarian for more information on the Equine WNV Vaccine.

But no matter what you know these days, you have to have some college education.” Seymour also said he runs in- to problems because he re- ceived a general discharge, “nei- ther honorable nor dishonor- able,” and was hoping to learn howto change that during semi- nar after lunch. Stuck in military jargon Pennsylvania National Guard Employment Outreach Coordi- nator 1st Lt. Gregory Kuleba said one of the biggest problems he finds in connecting veterans with employers is a matter of translation – from military jar- gon in describing skills to civil- ian employer needs. “Service members speak Ital- ian, Employers speak French,” he quipped. “I cansee the value andpoten- tial of an MOS (Military Occu- pation Specialty),” Kuleba said. “But employers can’t under- stand the specialization.” Listing Army expertise as “Air defense C4I tactical oper- ations center enhanced oper- ator maintainer” on a resume, for example, will not tell the av- erage civilian employer all the skills learned to fill that posi- tion. Part of the outreach job, Kuleba said, is to showvets how to write a resume that gets es- sential skills across to employ- ers. Despite having only three people covering the entire state, Kuleba said the program can boast a lot of success since he got the job in January. “We’ve gotten about 80 people jobs so far,” he said. “And we’ve helped set up 50 job fairs” for veterans. The next job fair is at Fort In- diantown Gap July 10. The bulk of veterans seeking help landing a job are in the age range of 28 to 34 years old, Kule- ba said. Veterans of other generations have benefited from efforts to get them educated and jobs. ‘52-20’ benefits After service as a medic in the Pacific, World War II veteran SamGreenberg said he and oth- er vets were given “52-20”: $20 a week for 52 weeks, along with some medical care and a chance to go back to school under the newly minted GI Bill. The Wilkes-Barre native said the waiting list was long but he got into pre-med school, couldn’t get into medical school, and switched to engi- neering, eventually setting up his own business. Greenbergnowis coordinator for the Northeastern Pennsylva- nia Veterans Multicare Alliance, which set up Thursday’s boot camp in collaboration with the state department of military andveterans affairs’ officeof vet- eran’s affairs. As hard as it was to get a job following World War II, Green- berg said it’s even tougher now. “The economy has a great deal to do with it,” he said, cit- ing his own business as an ex- ample. “My firm went from 11 people to three people,” which was enough of a drop for him to call it quits. The trick for veterans, Kuleba said, is to network, and that’s what the National Guard em- ployment outreach is for. “If we can’t help them with a particular problem, we can con- nect them with someone who can.

He died at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township. Prosecutors on Wednesday fil- ed a petition against a13-year-old boy charging the juvenile with an unknown offense related to Tyl- er’s death on April 5. The boy, identifiedby sources as ElijahYu- siff, surrendered at the district at- torney’s office at about 3p.m. and appeared before Tina Polachek Gartley. The hour-long hearing was closed to the media and the public. Under state law, the hearing would have been opened if Yusiff were charged with homicide, vol- untary manslaughter, aggravated assault, arson, involuntary de- viate sexual intercourse, rape, kidnapping, robbery and crimi- nal attempt andconspiracyof any of the offenses. Since the hearing was closed, Yusiff was not petitioned to coun- ty juvenile court with any of those serious felonies. Yusiff told reporters the night Tyler died he heard a gunshot and saw a man driving away in a red Ford. It is not known due to the closed hearing and sealed ju- venile documents if Yusiff told in- vestigators the same story. “I can’t saymuchbecause of his age and the charges that were fil- ed,” Salavantis said. “The hear- ing was closed and the records were sealed because of his age and the nature of the charges. “The case is coming together,” Salavantis added. “We know the facts of the case.” AFacebook page in memory of Tyler was buzzing with activity since it became known that there has been an arrest. Salavantis did not rule out ad- ditional charges. SHOOTING Continued from Page 1A nies married gay couples federal benefits given to heterosexual married couples, including the ability to file joint tax returns. The ruling came in two lawsuits, one filed by the Boston-based le- gal group Gay & Lesbian Advo- cates & Defenders (GLAD) and the other by state Attorney Gen- eral Martha Coakley. “For me, it’s more just about having equality and not having a system of first- and second-class marriages,” said plaintiff Jonath- an Knight, a financial associate at Harvard Medical School who married Marlin Nabors in 2006. “I think we can do better, as a country, thanthat,” saidKnight, a plaintiff in the GLAD lawsuit. Knight said the Defense of Mar- riage Act costs the couple an extra $1,000 a year because they cannot file a joint federal tax return. The ruling also drew the atten- tion of John Dawe, Executive Di- rector of the NEPA RainbowAlli- ance. "We applaud the court’s ruling that DOMA treats same-sex cou- ples as second-class citizens –and that’s a violation of fundamental rights,” said Dawe. “This is one step towards equality for all fam- ilies, but we still have a long way to go." Opponents of gay marriage blasted the decision. “This ruling that a state can mandate to the federal govern- ment the definition of marriage for the sake of receiving federal benefits, we find really bizarre, rather arrogant, if I may say so,” saidKris Mineau, president of the Massachusetts Family Institute. The Most Rev. Joseph C. Bam- bera, Bishop of the Roman Ca- tholic Diocese of Scranton, ac- knowledged he was not com- pletely familiar with all the de- tails of the ruling giventhat it just was issued Thursday. “Notwithstanding, weliveinan age where the idea of marriage andthe family is constantly being challenged,” Bambera said. “But, as Catholics, we believe that the sacrament of marriage is a faith- ful, exclusive, lifelong, loving union of a man and a woman.” Since Congress passed the law, eight states have approved gay marriage, including Massachu- setts, Connecticut, New York, Io- wa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maryland, Washington state and the District of Columbia. Mary- land and Washington’s laws are not yet in effect and may be sub- ject to referendums. Last year, President Barack Obama announced that the De- partment of Justice would no longer defend the constitutional- ity of the law. After that, House Speaker John Boehner convened the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group to defend it. The legal group argued the case before the appeals court. White House spokesman Jay Carney saidthe appeals court rul- ing is “in concert with the presi- dent’s views.” Obama, who once opposed gay marriage, declared his unequivocal personal support on May 9. Carney wouldn’t say whether the government would actively seek to have the lawoverturned if the case goes before the Supreme Court. The 1st Circuit said its ruling would not be enforced until the Supreme Court decides the case, meaning that same-sex married couples will not be eligible to re- ceive the economic benefits de- nied by the law until the high court rules. That’s because the ruling only applies tostates withinthe circuit — Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire — and Puerto Rico. Only the Su- preme Court has the final say in deciding whether a lawpassed by Congress is unconstitutional. Until Congress passed the law, “the power to define marriage had always been left to individual states, the appeals court said in its ruling. “One virtue of federalism is that it permits this diversity of governance based on local choice, but this applies as well to the states that have chosen to le- galize same-sex marriage,” Judge Michael Boudin wrote for the court. “Under current Supreme Court authority, Congress’ denial of federal benefits to same-sex couples lawfully married in Mas- sachusetts has not been ade- quately supported by any permis- sible federal interest.” Several times in its ruling, the appeals court noted that the case will probably end up before the high court, at one point saying, “only the Supreme Court can fi- nally decide this unique case.” Carl Tobias, a constitutional law professor at the University of Richmond, said the court kept its ruling narrow, declaring uncon- stitutional only the section of the lawon federal benefits. Although supporters and opponents of gay marriage may depict the rulingas the beginning of the end of the law, hesaid, theSupremeCourt is likelytolimit its rulingtothe ben- efits issue as well. “I think lawyers could argue that thearguments areequallyap- plicable to the other sections of the law, but you have to stretch. You have to take those out of the context in which it’s being ap- plied, and I don’t think the court will do that,” Tobias said. During arguments before the court last month, a lawyer for gay married couples said the law amounted to “across-the-board disrespect.” The couples argued that the power todefine andregu- late marriage had been left to the states for more than 200 years be- fore Congress passed the law. Paul Clement, a Washington, D.C., attorney who defended the lawonbehalf of theBipartisanLe- gal Advisory Group, argued that Congress had a rational basis for passing the Defense of Marriage Act in1996, whenopponents wor- riedthat states wouldbeforcedto recognizegaymarriages perform- ed elsewhere. The group said Congress want- ed to preserve a traditional and uniform definition of marriage andhas the power todefine terms used to federal statutes to distrib- ute federal benefits. MARRIAGE Continued from Page 1A “I think this is a good thing,” said Willie Golden. “We hope somethingpositive comes of this, just like everybody else here to- night. “Maybe my grandson’s death will give it a push.” About 130 people gathered in the GAR library to talk about what causes tragic incidents like Winstead’s deathandwhat canbe done to prevent more in the fu- ture. Working in small groups with facilitators, the diverse group of attendees came up with many problems they see in the commu- nity. The top three reasons for vio- lent crime among youth were: lack of effective parenting, peer pressure, and lack of morals. The Rev. Shawn Walker and The Rev. Michael Brewster came up with the idea for “Building Bridges” and Mayor Tom Leight- on endorsed the project. “We all want to make this city a better place to live and raise our families,” Walker said. “We’re here to talk about the issues and find solutions.” Walker said in the days follow- ing Winstead’s death, people were asking what can be done to prevent another incident. “The time for rhetoric is over,” he said. “We have to move from rhetoric to real lasting positive change.” Brewster useda quote toexem- plify the program’s theme of building a community one bridge at a time. “I am one, but still I am one; I cannot do everything, but I can do something and because I can- not do everything, I will not re- fuse to do the something I can do,” Brewster quotedEdwardEv- erett Hale. Brewster then told the group, “You are all here doing your something.” Office Phil Myers, the city’s crime prevention officer, gave a brief presentation on crimes in the city. He said theft is the top crime committed in the city and he informed the group of crime prevention programs offered to help residents. But Brewster put the pro- gram’s objective in perspective. “It’s easy toidentify problems,” he said. “It’s not so easy to find the solutions.” Walker said bringing neigh- bors together to discuss issues andtoget toknoweachother can only benefit the city. “I like what I’m hearing and that’s conversation,” walker said. “People are talking and working together to find ways to resolve these issues.” Raphael Mosely, an 8-year-old student from St. Nick’s/St. Ma- ry’s, attended the meeting with his mother, Denise. They live in Pittston, but Mrs. Mosely works in Wilkes-Barre. She wanted to participate in the program and her son wanted to come along. “Raphael was very involved in our group,” said Shivaun O’Don- nell, one of the facilitators. “He brought a different perspective to our group.” Raphael said he wants to see more evening basketball for kids. He also saw the importance of “Building Bridges.” “I think it’s really good,” Mose- ly said of the program. “It’s good to teach people and kids about what’s right and wrong. If people got along, we would have a better community.” Leighton said the key is to bring back the neighborhoods. Brewster said it’s important to get to know your neighbors. “This movement can only move with your feet,” Walker said. “Working together will make this last.” Lenny Cornish, another facili- tator, said he has seen similar programs come andgointhe city. “I hope this one doesn’t fade away,” he said. “We need this pro- gram more than ever.” CRIME Continued from Page 1A AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER Mayor Thomas Leighton speaks with Tyler Winstead’s grandmother Carol Golden prior to the Build- ing Bridges meeting at GAR High School. C M Y K SPORTS S E C T I O N B THE TIMES LEADER FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 2012 timesleader.com SCRANTON — This time, Holy Re- deemer’s district championship drama came before the game. Looking to shake off a tough loss in the title game in each of the past two seasons, the Royals entered Thursday’s contest with an unexpected issue on the mound. Starter Cody Tsevdos hadinjuredhis pitching hand sliding into third base during Wednesday’s semifinal win over Hanover Area. But it wasn’t until Thursday morning that the pain really set in. “I woke up and I could barely move it,” Tsevdos said. “I icedit all daybefore I came (to the game) and started throwing, and it felt all right. In the be- ginning, I wasn’t sure (if I was going to be able to pitch).” The Royals even warmed up a sec- ond starting pitcher before the game. As it turnedout, theydidn’t evenneeda reliever. Tsevdos threw a complete-game two-hitter to help Holy Redeemer cap- ture its first District 2 Class 2Abaseball championship, beating Holy Cross10-3 on Thursday at Connell Park. Though the senior southpaw couldn’t bat because of his hand, his teammates did more than enough hit- ting to secure the title, slamming 16 hits and scoring in six out of seven in- nings. Every Redeemer player that stepped to the plate on the day finished with at least one hit. It was exactly the type of perform- ance the 12th-seeded Royals were look- ingfor after losinginthedistrict final to Lake-Lehman last season and dropping an extra-innings heartbreaker to Meyers in 2010. Needless tosay, the Royals (9-10) we- ren’t taking anything for granted, even with a seven-run lead in the final frame. “Nope. No relaxing today,” Redeem- er coach Chris Ritsick said with a grin. “I’ve learned my lesson in this game.” For Ritsick, it was his fourth trip to the district final, withthe first one com- ing with program predecessor Bishop Hobanin2006.

To get there, the Royals turned in what Ritsick said was their most com- plete performance of the season. Will Cavanaugh, one of eight seniors in the championship lineup, topped all players withthree hits andfour RBI. All three singles came with two outs and drove in at least one run. “That’s just deflating for the other team,” Ritsick said. “That really pulled us through today.” Fellow seniors Joel Peterlin, Dom Policare, Eric Ringsdorf and Christian Choman had two hits apiece. Choman reachedbase inall five plate appearanc- es, drawing three walks. Junior Mike Kosik added two hits of his own.

Whether being boys or girls teams, the Royals have takencare of business in the Wyoming Val- ley Conference and advanced to the PIAA Championships every year. Today, the boys will begin a quest to become the best teamin Pennsylvania when they begin the PIAA Championships at Penn State University’s Multis- port Indoor Facility. The event begins today with pool play, which will consist of a match against the three other teams. The matches consist of three games with the first team to two game wins earns the victory. Four matches will be going on at once beginning at 9 a.m. The sec- ond pool play match is set for 12:20 p.m. and the final match is slated for 3:20 p.m. The Royals have advanced to the final eight for the fourth straight season. Last year, the Royals were in a stacked pool with Deer Lakes and Saeger- town, the state champion and runner-up, respectively. Redeem- er still went 1-2 in that pool but didn’t advance past the first day. The Royals are in a groove right now having finished the regular season unbeaten and haven’t lost a single game since April 9 and that includes the postseason. Only six times since then have the Royals allowed more than 20 points in a game. While the two finalists from a year ago didn’t advance to this weekend’s event, Redeemer still has work cut out. The Royals will play in Pool B along with District 7 champion Ambridge, District 3 runner-up Dover and D10 champion Co- chranton. The top two teams from the two pools will advance to the state semifinals slated for Saturday morning at 9. Ambridge has advanced to the finals twice in the last five years, including winning it all in 2009. According to records since 2002, Dover and Cochranton haven’t won a state title. District 3 opponents are al- ways tough as well with eight of the last 10 state titlists coming fromthe area in the middle of the state.

C M Y K THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 2012 PAGE 3B ➛ S P O R T S BOSTON (AP) — Max Scherzer pitched into the sev- enth inning, Delmon Young homered and the Detroit Ti- gers beat the Boston Red Sox 7-3 on Thursday night to avoid a four-game series sweep. Scherzer (5-3) retired nine consecutive batters before Nick Punto led off the seventh with a walk, forcing the right-hander from the game. He allowed three runs and seven hits in his third consecutive victory, clos- ing out a strong May. Young hit a solo drive in the eighth to make it 5-3, then added a run-scoring single in the ninth. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit his 10th homer for Boston, which was seeking its first four-game sweep against the Tigers since 2004. Josh Beckett (4-4) al- lowed four runs and a season- high 10 hits in seven innings. The Red Sox opened May with eight losses in nine games to drop to 12-19 on the year. But they closed out the month with a 14-6 run to pull within three of the division lead. Young and Quintin Berry each had three hits for Detroit, which finished with 14 overall. Berry also scored two runs and stole two bases. Saltalamacchia connected in the second inning, and Scott Podsednik doubled in Ryan Sweeney to make it 2-0. Detroit responded with three runs in the third, capped by Prince Fielder’s two-out RBI single. Saltalamacchia tied it with a two-out RBI single in bottom half.

Scherzer helps Tigers to win vs. Red Sox The Associated Press Kemp heads back to 15-day DL LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers placed center fielder Matt Kemp on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday for the second time this month because of a left hamstring strain. And this time, the training staff is going to make sure there are no recurrences when he returns to the lineup. Kemp went 1 for 4 with a double in two games since being reinstated from the disabled list on Tuesday. He left Wednesday night’s game against Milwaukee after scoring all the way from first base on a first-inning double by Andre Ethier. “He has a little bit of swelling in the same area, as well as a new strain in a higher part of that hamstring,” said Sue Falsone, who is in her first year as the club’s head athletic trainer after spending the previous five seasons as the team’s physical therapist. “They’re both Grade-1s, which means that there’s not a lot of muscle fiber tear. It’s the lowest grade of a muscle strain, so that’s good news. But having multiple strains in one muscle, obviously it’s going to be a little bit longer from a rehab standpoint. So we’re just going to take it day-by-day.” Falsone said the best-case scenario for Kemp is four weeks before he can play again. He spent two weeks on the disabled list the first time the hamstring bothered him and when he got back to the dugout after his latest mishap, he broke a bat over his knee in frustration. STANDINGS/STATS NEW YORK — Few expected much from the New York Mets this season. Then again, these aren’t exact- ly the Mets everybody expected to see. Kirk Nieuwenhuis. Mike Bax- ter. Jeremy Hefner. Vinny Rottino, Rob Johnson, Jordany Valdespin, Omar Quinta- nilla, Mike Nickeas. Who are these guys and how do they keep winning big league ballgames? Two months into the season, the no-name Mets are one of baseball’s biggest surprises. Led by David Wright, Johan Santana and a mystery cast of supporting characters, NewYorkis 28-23and only1 1 ⁄2 games out of first place in the tightly bunched NL East. “Obviously, we’re looking for- wardto getting some of our front- line players back. But what these guys have shown us is that they can play here,” second-year man- ager Terry Collins said. Turning to a string of subs and fill-ins, the Mets are almost a real- life version of “Major League,” the hilarious movie about a band of baseball rejects who carry the Cleveland Indians to the playoffs. About the only thing missing is Bob Uecker behind the micro- phone — or Wesley Snipes run- ning sprints in his pajamas. No joke, though: New York is playing sound fundamental base- ball. “I think our minor league staff has done a great job of getting these guys prepared to come here,” said Collins, who also de- serves plenty of praise. “I think one of the things that helps out is when they walk in that locker room and they look around and they see friends. They see guys they know. I think it makes a big difference.” New York is minus three in- jured regulars: left fielder Jason Bay, shortstop Ruben Tejada and catcher Jose Thole. Starting pitcher Mike Pelfrey is out for the season following elbow ligament replacement surgery. Add in the injuries to backups RonnyCedenoandJustinTurner, and NewYork has used six short- stops already this season follow- ing the departure of All-Star Jose Reyes as a free agent in Decem- ber. “Everybodysaidwedidn’t have depth. I think that’s decent depth. So, guys coming up and performing is great to see,” chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon said. “Our farm system was bet- ter than anybody thought.” With the Mets in dire need of earlyreinforcements, unheralded youngsters and minor league journeymen have stepped in and produced immediately. Nieuwenhuis came up from Triple-ABuffalo when center fiel- der Andres Torres was injured on opening day and has kept himself in the lineup by hitting .294. Baxter, who grew up 10 min- utes from where Citi Field stands, won the final bench spot in spring training and did so well as a pinch-hitter that he’s now batting leadoff against right- handers. Miguel Batista earned a win in Pelfrey’s place and so did Hefner, punctuating his first major league victory with a stunning home run. “The bus from Buffalo arrived today, as it normally does,” gen- eral manager Sandy Alderson said Tuesday. Valdespin’s first career hit was a pinch-hit, three-run homer off Philadelphia closer Jonathan Pa- pelbon in the ninth inning that sent New York to a 5-2 victory May 7. Quintanilla was called up from the minors this week and got three hits in his Mets debut. “They’re all here because they’re worthy of being here,” 37- year-old knuckleballer R.A. Dick- ey said.

Stacked with Triple-A players, New York is hanging in one of the toughest divisions. By MIKE FITZPATRICK AP Sports Writer ROCHESTER, N.Y.–After a fewwild games against Toledo, a pitcher’s duel broke out Thurs- day afternoon in the series finale. Eric Patterson’s two-run single and a sacrifice fly by Bryan Hola- day was all the MudHens needed in a 3-0 victory over Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre handing the Yan- kees their third shutout loss of the season. The Yankees were held in check by four Mud Hens pitchers and didn’t notch an ex- tra-base hit the entire game, while leaving eight runners on base. Toledo loaded the bases in the three-run seventh with nobody out as Matt Young led off with a single, Brad Eldred doubled and Ryan Strieby walked against Yan- kee starter D.J. Mitchell to setup the scoring. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s best chance to score came in the bot- tom of the seventh when it load- ed the bases with one out in the inning. But the Yankees came up empty on a Colin Curtis flied out andRonier Mustelier was thrown out at home trying to score. SWBhad an opportunity in the bottom of the ninth as well. The first twobatters of the frame reac- hed via walk and hit by pitch against Mud Hens closer Chris Bootcheck. But the right-hander rebounded to strike out the next three hitters to record his tenth save of the season. Mitchell (4-2), who was dom- inant early pitching six-plus in- nings, allowed three runs on five hits, while striking out seven and walking just one. Rob Waite (2-1) earned the win for theMudHens inrelief of start- er Brooks Brown. Waite tossed 2 1 ⁄3 scoreless innings allowing three hits, while striking out two and walking one. Brown threw four shutout innings giving up three hits, while striking out three and walking two. The Yankees travel to Norfolk to begin a six-game, four-day se- ries beginning tonight with a doubleheader at Harbor Park against the Tides. Right-hander Ramon Ortiz (3-3, 3.35) gets the nod in game one, while Mike O’Connor (1-1, 2.97) takes the hill inthesecond. SteveJohnson(1-3, 2.62) andJasonBerken(0-1, 2.12) get the ball for Norfolk.

But he pushed through it and did a great job.” With Tsevdos trying to get comfortable with an aching hand at the start of the game, Holy Cross’ first two batters singled to start things off. Those would be the only hits he wouldsurrender all afternoon. He finished with five strikeouts, three walks and three unearned runs against him. “Early in the innings, (the hand) hurt,” Tsevdos said. “But eventually I guess the adrenaline and everything (took over).” Fittingly, Tsevdos finished off the sixth-seeded Crusaders with a strikeout, calmly walking off the moundtowardthe dugout be- fore being swarmed by team- mates and ending up at the bot- tom of a dog-pile. The Royals can now add some add gold to their collection of sil- ver. “Finally,” said a beaming Cho- man. “It feels great. … We’ve al- ways had that silver medal to work with to give us some moti- vation.

His state championship team in 2008. The Abington Heights side that did the same in 2009. The state run- ner-up Tunkhannock squad from last season. The North Pocono team that shut out Berwick 10-0 in six in- nings for the D2-3A title on Thursday at Scranton High School is as every bit as good, he concluded. “This team is as good as any,” Pinterich continued. “I told (North Pocono) coach (Brian) Jardine after the game this doesn’t stop here with them. They are state championship ma- terial. There’s no question about it. They’re good, they’re that good. And they’re solid all the way around.” The Trojans (16-1, 18-1 overall) offered little evident for a rebut- tal. · All but one player either had a hit, RBI or scored a run. The Tro- jans finished with 13 hits, includ- ing two triples and six doubles. · The defense turned two dou- ble plays, albeit one aided by an illegal slide into second base. · Junior starter Billy Nelson overcame a mild case of wildness early to throw a complete-game two-hitter. Yet, there was a flicker of hope for Berwick (13-5, 17-6 over- all) early on. With two outs in the first, T.J. Lashock was plunked with a pitch and Kyle Miller followed with a walk. Neither scored. Nor didBrandonFenstermach- er in the second. He reached when his routine infield pop was dropped. He moved to second when Nelson uncorkedhis secondwildpitchof the game and made it to third on a flyout. “I couldn’t get my feeling at first,” Nelson said. “I just kind of amp it up sometimes. I settled down and threw the ball and re- lied on my defense.” North Pocono’s bats provided the best remedy for some big- game jitters. By the time Nelson took the mound for the third, the Trojans had a 7-0 lead thanks in part to a five-run, three-double second inning. “We knowwhat Berwick could do,” Jardine said, “so we came ready for a fight, ready for a bat- tle. That’s what they did. They took it at us, but we got some runs early and took them out of their game.” Lashock had Berwick’s first hit of the game when his chopper hugged the third-base line with two outs in the third. Jordan Stout had the other, a ground sin- gle to center in the fourth, but was erased on a double play. The Trojans ended the game early when Ray Grapsy’s RBI tri- ple and Joe Kaspar’s RBI single plated their ninth and 10th runs. “I started seven juniors and sophomores. I’m certainly proud of the run we made,” Pinterich said. “We finished the season at 17-6. Nobody expected us to be here. This was the one game we didn’t have a chance to compete in all year. That’s what disap- points you. “My guys got a taste of it. Hopefully, we canmake a runat it next year.” Berwick North Pocono ab r h bi ab r h bi Morales cf 3 0 0 0 Runco ss 4 1 1 0 Melito ss 2 0 0 0 Haddix 2b 3 3 3 2 Lashock 2b 2 0 1 0 Nelson p 3 2 1 2 Miller 1b 2 0 0 0 Grapsy lf 4 1 2 2 JStout dh 2 0 1 0 Kaspar 3b 4 0 2 3 DeNoia p 0 0 0 0 Misiura 1b 3 0 0 0 Bower p 0 0 0 0 Brown c 2 1 0 0 Harer p 0 0 0 0 Jaggars rf 2 1 1 0 May lf 2 0 0 0 Darrow cf 3 1 3 1 Fenstrmchr rf 2 0 0 0 Laubach 2b 2 0 0 0 Curtin c 2 0 0 0 Totals 19 0 2 0 Totals 28101310 Berwick..................................... 000 000 — 0 North Pocono .......................... 251 002 — 10 E – North Pocono 1, Berwick 2.

He has a better look than I do. He was right in front of it.” The disputed play at the plate overshadowed dominant pitch- ing efforts by Demko and Bower. Demko yielded two hits; Bower allowed just one. Demko struck out eight hitters, while Bower sat down 11 Cougars through seven innings. “We tried to get ahead in the count,” Trivelpiece added. “At the 4A level, you’re playing Divi- sion 1 pitchers. And with these two pitchers, runs are hard to come by.” After both teams went hitless through four and a half frames, each pitcher escaped potentially adverse innings. In the bottom of the fifth inning, Williamsport’s Heather Inners posted the first hit of the game. On a hit-and-run bunt, Abby Sachse charged from third base, changed directions at full speed and caught a foul ball before doubling off Inners to end the threat. Sachse’s glovework briefly in- vigorated the Cougar offense. Ashley Donlin led off the sixth witha single tocenter. Quality at- bats from Mikaela Browdy and Hailey Kendall advanced Donlin to third. Lexi Wolk popped out to rightfield to end the Cougars’ lone threat. “Coach told us it was really go- ing to come down to a one-run game,” Demko said. “It was a great team effort. Unfortunately, one team has to come away with a victory.” Despite having a young roster featuring three freshmen leading off the top of the lineup and a starting pitcher returning for her senior season next year, the re- gional championship loss didn’t sit well with the Hazleton Area manager. “When we got these medals, it feels like someone hit me in the stomach with a bat. I thought we’d be playing Monday.” Williamsport 1, Haz.

A benefit basketball game in honor of Tyler Winstead, 14, a student for GAR who was trag- ically killed a number of weeks ago, will be held tonight at 7 p.m. at GAR. The game will feature the school’s faculty against the fac- ulties of Heights and Dodson Elementary schools. Doors open at 6 p.m. and tickets are $2 for children and $5 for adults. Other features include a raffle and a snack bar. Faculty participants of GAR include athletic director Simon Peter, dean of students Rob Watkins, and assistant principal Anthony Khalife. Teachers Dan Himlin, Damian Evanko, and Shannon McCabe are also a few of the participants. Evanko, an eighth-grade health education teacher at GAR, remembers Winstead as a hard working young man and said it’s an honor for himto play in his memory. “This kid was one of the best kids we had in our school,” he said. “He was an honor roll stu- dent and an outstanding young man. A couple of faculty mem- bers got turned down to partici- pate because so many volun- teered.” Evanko recalled a time when Winstead came to school to make up a test he didn’t have to. “He came back at 7:30 in the morning to answer bonus ques- tions he forgot about,” Evanko said. “He didn’t even have to an- swer them.” GAR principal Colleen Roba- tin credited faculty members Dana Smith and Danielle Kish- baugh for organizing the benefit game. Winstead was a member of GAR’s junior high basketball team, and a member of the ju- nior high/freshman champion- ship team. Robatin said a basketball ben- efit was a perfect way to honor his memory. “Basketball was one of his passions, so what better way to do something to honor him,” said Robatin. Proceeds of the event will be given to the family members of Winstead, which include his grandparents and three sib- lings.

He was 78. Twyman died Wednesday at a Cincinnati hospice of complica- tions froman aggressive formof blood cancer, his son, Jay Twy- man said Thursday. “He died peacefully with fam- ily members at his side,” said Twyman, of Rye, N.Y. Jack Twyman played for the University of Cincinnati and spent 11 seasons in the NBA with the Rochester and Cincin- nati Royals. He averaged a career-high 31.2points per game inthe1959- 60 season, playing insix All-Star games. In 1958, after teammate Maurice Stokes was left paralyz- ed after a head injury suffered during a game, Twyman be- came his guardian to help Stokes receive medical benefits. Twyman later worked as a tel- evision analyst on NBA games. His most famous work as an an- nouncer came in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA finals between the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers, when he stop- ped himself mid-sentence dur- ing the pre-game to announce that he saw injured New York center Willis Reed coming through the player tunnel.

The Spurs, who already set an NBA record for the longest win- ning streak carried over from the regular season into the playoffs, were trying to match the league mark for most wins to start the postseason. The Lakers won 11 straight tostart the1989 and2001 playoffs, gettingswept intheNBA finals the first time andwinning it all the second. The Spurs’ last loss was to the Lakers at home on April 11. Parker and Duncan didn’t play in the final 15 minutes, and coach Gregg Popovich pulled the plug after another series of three straight turnovers allowed the deficit to reach 23 points early in the fourth quarter.

The Thunder put together an- other 9-0 run coinciding with Manu Ginobili coming out of the game, and featuring Serge Ibaka sticking his tongue out after nail- ing a jumper from the top of the key. Coach Scott Brooks soon fol- lowed suit and pulled his own front-line players with the game well inhand. TheSpurs wipedout a 24-point deficit in Game 3 against the Clippers in Los An- geles in the last round, but they weren’t recovering in this one.

Instead, the fourth-seeded Brit re- bounded from an awful first set to beat Jarkko Nieminen 1-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 and re- ach the third round. “I was a fewpoints probably fromstop- ping,” Murray said. “I just didn’t really want tostopthematch. Thenat theendof the secondset I startedstandingupat the change of ends, and my back started to loosen up a little bit.” A few hours later on the same court, 10th-seeded John Isner of the United States produced yet another marathon match, but was on the losing end this time. Isner, who won the longest match in history two years ago at Wimbledon, lost to Paul-Henri Mathieu of France 6-7 (2), 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 18-16. The match lasted 5 hours, 41 minutes — the second-longest by time in French Open history. The re- cord is 6:33. The last set alone took 2:28. “I never felt comfortable. It’s been like that sinceI’vebeeninEurope, really,” Isn- er said. “I don’t know what it was. I just didn’t play the right way.” Isner beat Nicolas Mahut 70-68 in the fifth set at Wimbledon in 2010. Because of the time, Maria Sharapova’s second-roundmatchwas postponeduntil Friday. DefendingchampionRafael Nadal also made it to the third round, defeating De- nis Istominof Uzbekistan6-2, 6-2, 6-0and improving his record at Roland Garros to 47-1.

Murray could barely walk straight whenthe first matchof the day startedon Court Philippe Chatrier, gingerlytrotting aroundthe redclay withthe equivalent of abigtargetonhisback. Nieminentookad- vantage, at the beginning. But after losing the first four games, Murray calledfor a trainer. He thenbroke back to 4-1, and needed more treatment during the changeover. It was then that he started to consider retiring fromthe match. “It was around that period, end of the first set, and then when I played a couple more games,” Murray said. “Then I was thinking whether to keep playing or not. “I’mhappy I did.” Despite being broken to open the sec- ond set, Murray started to move better and make his shots count. By the time he broke back for 4-4, Murray was the one getting stronger. “I should have taken a double break in the second set to have taken the second set,” Nieminen said. “I couldn’t take that, and then I played one very poor change- over, two bad games, and then he started to play better. “I really never got the momentum back.” Last year, Murray injured his right an- kle at the French Open, but he still made the semifinals. This year, he skipped the Madrid Open with a back problem and saidit was still affectinghimafter a three- set loss to Richard Gasquet in the third round of the Italian Open. Murray said Thursday’s injury was dif- ferent, but that his trainer advised him that he couldn’t do any permanent dam- age by playing, so he continued despite the discomfort. “Then, obviously, it didn’t feel good. So they were telling me to stop, and then I just kept going, andthenit startedtofeel a bit better,” Murray said.

By CHRIS LEHOURITES AP Sports Writer NEWARK, N.J. —The NewJer- sey Devils are in danger of becom- ing the latest team to be steam- rolled by the Los Angeles Kings. The Devils played one of their worst games of the postseason in dropping the series opener 2-1 in overtime Wednesday night here, and they can’t afford another sub- par effort. Lose two games at home to a team that has posted a 9-0 re- cord on the road this postseason, andtheguyswho lug around hock- ey’s biggest prize might start shin- ing it in earnest after Saturday night’s contest at the Prudential Center. The situation is desperate for coach Peter De- Boer’s team. While they mis- sed chances to win the opener, they also made a slew of mistakes that ranged from bad dump-ins of pucks, being tentative on the ice, failing to shoot when the shot was there, and leaving the Kings open. Themost glaringerror cameinthe overtime when Anze Kopitar scored on a breakaway. The problems can be fixed. The bad news is that the Kings weren’t exactly at their best either ... and still won. And if you’re a Devil, here’s a scary fact. The Kings have played some of their best hockey inGame 2s of their three previous series, beating Vancouver, St. Louis and Phoenix by a combined 13-4 mar- gin to take commanding 2-0 series lead back to Los Angeles each time. “The comforting thing for me is when I listen to the comments of our players last night, they were dead-on,” DeBoer said. “We we- ren’t good enough. We have to be better. We got over the early-game jitters. We startedtoplaya little bit better. But, you know, as a group, we’ve got tobringmore towinthis time of year.” The Devils carried the play in the third period and had two great chances to take the lead. Captain Zach Parise failed to put a bounc- ingpuckinthenet four minutes in- to the period and defenseman Mark Fayne missed a wide open net with roughly10 minutes left in regulation. “We didn’t play at our best, I think,” Devils center Travis Zajac said. “We were a little nervous in the first period, a little tentative. You could see that. We weren’t making plays. We were throwing thepuckawayalittletoomuch. We weren’t moving our feet and get- ting on the forecheck like we usu- ally do. For us, we felt that, yeah, we missedanopportunity because we were able to hang around against this team, you know, not playing our best game. Still having a chance to win, that makes us feel prettygoodthat wecanplaybetter, be a little bit more successful.” Kings captain Dustin Brown saidthat theDarryl Sutter-coached teamhas doneagoodjobof not be- ingsatisfiedafter winningGame1. “InGame 2, it’s beenour starts,” Brown said. “We’ve jumped on teams early, most noticeably against St. Louis, we hada 4-0lead after the first and that goes a long way. Some teams get a win and they are satisfied. This group hasn’t been and it goes a long way whenyoucome out inGame 2and really put it to them. “It’s demoralizing.” N H L Looking to stay perfect on road With a 9-0 road record this postseason the King’s look for another victory in N.J. By TOMCANAVAN AP Sports Writer GAME 2 Los Angeles Kings at New Jersey Devils 8 p.m. Saturday NBC U P N E X T DUBLIN, Ohio — Erik Compton con- siders the Memorial a special week no matter howhe plays, knowing his second heart transplant came from a donor in Ohio. The opening round was even sweeter with three birdies on the back nine late Thursday afternoon at Muirfield Village for a 5-under 67, leaving himone-shot out of the leadafter a day that featureda time- ly rally by Rory McIlroy and a surprising departure by Phil Mickelson. When the day ended, Scott Stallings was atop the leaderboard with a 66 and hardly anyone noticed. Compton has been an amazing story as long as he has played golf. He had his first heart transplant at12, playedintheWalker Cup after a solid career at Georgia, nearly died froma heart attack on his way home fromthe golf course in2007, hada second transplant in May 2008, and earned his PGA Tour card for the first time last year through the Nationwide Tour. “It’s just a great story, obviously, andit’s agreat place—for me, it’saspecial place,” Compton said. “For me, there’s not a day that goesbythat I don’t thinkabout mydo- nor. To be able to play here, regardless of whether I play good or bad, it’s just always a nice week.” It could have been an- other badweekfor McIl- roy. Coming off back-to- back missed cuts that cost him his No. 1 rank- ing and ramped up the scrutiny, McIlroy tookaquadruplebogeyonhisthirdholeof the tournament when he went from the bunker tothe water, backover the pondto thedropareaonaforwardtee, andthenin- to another bunker. He blasted onto the greenandtooktwoputts for a 7, andthere were murmurs fromthe crowd to see him at 4-over par so early. Thenext15holesweremuchbetter, and he rallied for a 71. “It wasn’t thestart I wantedtoget off to, being4over throughthreeholes, especial- ly after the last few weeks,” McIlroy said. “I was just like, ‘Here we go again.’ But I hungintherewell, andproudof myself for the way I just fought back. To finish the round under par, I thought was a really good effort.” Tiger Woods, playing in the group be- hind him, chopped up the 18th hole for a double bogey and still managed a 2-under 70. “I didn’t do anything great and I didn’t doanythingpoorly,”Woodsaid. “I wasjust very consistent. And I think with the golf course being the way it’s set up, you just have to be that way. ... Over the next three days, hopefully I can play as well as I did today.” Mickelson wasn’t anywhere near those scores, and when his round ended, he was nowhere near the golf course. Mickelson walkedout of thescoringhut after signing for a 79 —his worst score ever at the Me- morial —andsaidhewaswithdrawingbe- cause of mental fatigue. He said playing three straight weeks, followed by a trip to Europe for his wife’s 40th birthday, took too much out of him and he needed extra rest with the U.S. Open only two weeks away. Mickelson was among four players who withdrewaf- ter a 79 or worse, though none of the oth- ers are four-time major champions who were inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. “I feel likeit’stheresponsibilityof aplay- er to see through your commitment and finishthetournament andsoforth,” Mick- elson said. P R O G O L F Compton’s amazing story continues with strong Memorial showing The Associated Press AP PHOTO Rory McIlroy chips on to the 13th hole during the first round of the Memorial golf tournament Thursday in Dublin, Ohio. Compton With the London Olympics less than two months away, there’s more chaos in the swim- suit department. When aquatic leaders decided to ban rubberized bodysuits three years ago, it was thought that it would put an end to the technological arms race roiling the waters. And, indeed, there’s not nearly as much focus on what everyone is wearingor howmany world records will be broken at these games. “The suit does matter, it does help,” said Bob Bowman, the coach of 14-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps. “But it just gives thema little sharpness. It doesn’t completely change them as a swimmer.” Still, mirroring the anarchy that seemingly ruled at the 2008 Beijing Games and the 2009 world championships, swimmers are now shedding suits provided by their sponsors to wear apparel perceived to be faster. Teams are jockeying to make sure their ath- letes have the best suits available — no matter who is their official supplier. This time, the roles are re- versed for two of the main manu- facturers. Whereas Speedo’s LZR Racer was all the rage at the last Olym- pics, Arena’s Powerskin Carbon- Pro appears to have the edge this time. “Four years ago, the perform- ance difference was muchlarger,” said Giuseppe Musciacchio, Are- na’s general manager for brand development. “We’re not talking about seconds now, but tenths can also make a difference in an Olympic race.” Speedo unveiled its 2012 prod- ucts, the Fastskin3 Racing Sys- tem, at elaborate presentations in November featuring Phelps in NewYorkandRebecca Adlington in London. Besides the suit itself, thesystemfeatures wide, angular goggles that allow for peripheral vision, plus a new cap that is de- signedto reduce resistance inthe pool even more. But neither the suit nor the sys- tem has caught on. “The newsuit is horrible,” said Netherlands coachTitus Mennen at last week’s European Cham- pionship at Debrecen, Hungary. “It gets very heavy and it’s diffi- cult for the women to put it on, pulling the (straps) over their heads. Then it bunches up in the water. That’s something Speedo has to work on.” Not this year. According to the rules put in place by governing bodyFINAin2009, all suits being used this year had to be submit- ted for approval last July1and be on the market by the first day of this year. O LY M P I C S Focus on suits shifts to Arena The Powerskin Carbon-Pro is more beneficial than the banned Speedo suit.

Clemens working out in a flak jacket with 60 pounds of weights. Clemens yelling at himself. Clem- ens yelling at others. Clemens not- icingthathomeplatewasalittlebit out of line. Garner was sitting on a witness stand, but hesoundedat times as if he were again a major league manager, spin- ning yarns in a casual pregame dugout chat. None of those stories involved Clemens using performance-enhancingdrugs. “Scrap Iron,” the nickname Gar- ner earned as a player, gave “The Rocket”aboost Thursdayashetes- tifiedfor the defense inthe perjury trial of the seven-time Cy Young Awardwinner. Garner, the longtime infielder andClemens’ managerfor2 1 ⁄2 years with the Houston Astros, became thelatest inastringof witnesses to speak glowingly of Clemens’ lead- ershipandworkethic. Thetestimo- ny is part of aneffort toportray the former pitching star as an athlete who achieved great success late in hiscareerthroughhardwork, intel- ligence andunrivaledintensity. “Did Roger Clemens ever cut corners?” Clemens’ lawyer Rusty HardinaskedGarner. “Cut corners?” Garner replied with a taken-aback look and a smile. “No.” Prosecutors say Clemens used steroids and human growth hor- mone to help prolong his career. That claim is supported firsthand by only one witness, Clemens’ for- mer strength coach, Brian McNa- mee. Clemensischargedwithlying whenhetoldCongressin2008that he never usedeither substance. To counter McNamee, the de- fense has calledfriends andassoci- ates of Clemens from high school, college and his years with the Bos- tonRedSox, TorontoBlueJaysand nowthe Astros. Garnerregaledthecourt within- sider baseball tales that any fan would enjoy, including the time that players’ wives danced on the dugout when the Pittsburgh Pi- rates were on the way to winning the 1979 World Series. It’s uncer- tainhowsuchtalk was receivedby a jury consisting mostly of Wash- ingtonians who don’t follow the sport. During Garner’s first spring trainingwiththeAstrosin2005, he recalledseeingClemensattheball- park at 7:30 a.m. working out in a heavy flak jacket, then going for a run before returning outside after lunch for some “PFP” (pitchers’ fielding practice). Garner thought it all “totally weird” because Clem- enswassupposedtopitchthat day. “Rocket, what in the world are youdoing?” Garner asked. “Skip, I’mtryingtogetmylegsas tired as possible so it’s like it’s the ninthinningwhenI’mout thereto- day,” Clemens replied, according toGarner. Garner also spoke about an area at the end of the Astros dugout called“Rocket Hole,” where Clem- ens kept bananas and Gatorade to recover between innings. During one game, Garner said he turned and saw Clemens pacing and yell- ing at himself: “What is going on?! Are you going to pitch tonight or areyounot goingtopitchtonight?! Are you going to get anybody out tonight?” Garner also saidClemens threw a tantrum and berated Astros coach Doug Mansolino for not hit- ting practice grounders hard enough on a “steamy hot” after- noon in Cincinnati when everyone was triedfromanovernight flight.

By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer Clemens PITTSBURGH—Myron Rolle and Troy Polamalu walked off the Pittsburgh Steelers practice field on Thursday, sweat dripping down their faces, jerseys drenched, arms moving animatedly as they talked. Was Rolle, a free agent trying to resurrect his career, picking the All-Pro safety’s brain about the finer points of Dick LeBeau’s de- fense? Not exactly. “We were talking about the expansion of the middle class and howresources are run- ning out,” Rolle said. “Howeveryone wants to have two cars and three TVs in their house. But howare we going to sustain that with 6.4 billion people on the earth and growing?” Rolle wasn’t kidding. He rarely does. His con- cerns are legitimate, his passion for the topic obvious, his curiosity palpable. That thirst for knowl- edge is also one of the reasons why the 25-year-old finds himself in Pittsburgh trying to revive his flagging career instead of enjoying life as an NFLstarter. The athletic 6-foot-2, 215-pound Rolle ap- peared well on his way to the pros after being named a third-teamAll-American following his junior year at Florida State in 2008. His playmaking ability and impeccable instincts shot Rolle up NFLDraft boards. Rolle, however, had other plans. Rather than enter the draft he opted to spend a year at Oxford University after being named a Rhodes Scholar. While former college team- mates —including Pittsburgh linebacker Lawrence Timmons —lived it up in the NFL in 2009, Rolle worked on his thesis and earned a master’s degree in medical anthro- pology. He planned all along to return to football, working out in a tiny10x10 weight roomand running on a grass-barren rugby field while his classmates went to the pub. Rolle returned to the U.S. with his degree and a fair amount of football rust. Shaking it off proved more problematic than he imag- ined. He was drafted by the Titans in 2010, but never sawthe field and was released before the 2011season. It was the first time in Rolle’s life success hadn’t come easily, or immediately. His frustration grewto a point where he wondered if choosing Oxford over the NFLwas the right idea. Regret, however, was only fleeting. “Once I thought about being a Rhodes Scholar and howthat could behoove my future interests, and howit’s placed me in a social station of life of being a role model for other young people to pursue academics and athletics at the highest level, I think it was a great choice,” Rolle said. Even if he understands that it left some in the NFLwondering if he was really commit- ted to football. Unlike most players his age just trying to grab a roster spot, Rolle has seemingly limitless options outside the game. He could go on to medical school to be- come a neurosurgeon. He could pour all of his energy into his eponymous foundation, which focuses on “health, wellness, educational and other charitable initiatives throughout the world.” Or he could continue his campaign against obesity and diabetes, particularly in Native American culture.

The unbeaten five-division champion’s legal andringadvisers weren’t immediately comment- ingThursdayabout Mayweather’s scheduled Fri- day morning surrender be- fore Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa. The judge sentenced him Dec. 22 for his guilty plea to reduced charges in the domestic battery case. Mayweather’s lawyers, Karen Winckler and Richard Wright, said previously they didn’t plan to seekanother postponement or de- lay. Mayweather, now 35, was ini- tially due to begin his sentence Jan. 6. But Saragosa agreed at the last minute to let himremain free longenoughtofight Miguel Cotto onMay5inLas Vegas. Thefighter who goes by the nickname “Mon- ey” won the bout and a guaran- teed $32 million. Cotto was paid $8 million. Mayweather’s stint in the high- rise Clark County Detention Cen- ter inLas Vegas is expectedtolim- it his ability to train for another fight. At least for the first week, May- weather will be segregated for his protectionfromtheother3,200in- mates, Las Vegas police Officer Bill Cassell said. He’ll get one hour of exercise time a day out- side his cell. Saragosa said when she sen- tenced Mayweather that she was particularly troubled that he threatened and hit ex-girlfriend Josie Harris while their two sons watched. The boys were 10 and 8 at the time. The older boy ran out a back door to fetch a security guard in the gated community. However, the judge accepted the plea deal that avoided trial on felony and misdemeanor charges that couldhave gottenMayweath- er 34years instateprisonif hehad been convicted on all counts. Mayweather’s pendingjail term will be capped at 87 days. Sarago- sa gave him credit for three days previously served. Mayweather also was ordered to complete a yearlong domestic violence counseling program, 100 hours of community service and pay a $2,500 fine. B O X I N G Unbeaten to begin sentence in prison Mayweather Jr. is set to go to jail today for three months for attacking woman. By KEN RITTER Associated Press Mayweather NEW YORK — The trainer of Triple Crown hopeful I’ll Have Another doesn’t believe New York racing officials are picking on him after the state’s racing and wagering board imposed strict rules for horses in the Bel- mont Stakes. “I don’t think so,” Doug O’Neill said Thursday when asked if officials were singling him out because of his history of doping infractions. His recent 45-day suspension won’t begin until after the Belmont on June 9 when I’ll Have Another tries to become the first Triple Crown winner in 34 years. Newrules announced Wednes- day call for all Belmont runners to be stabled in the same barn rather than spread out in stables around the track. Also, there will be out-of-competition blood test- ing and close scrutiny of the horses and humans attending them by board investigators and private security personnel. The trainer is OK with the new rules, but said the plan doesn’t sound like it’s been “real organized,” and wishes it would have been implemented sooner. The stakes barn won’t open until Wednesday, meaning most of the horses already settled in at the Belmont Park will have to be moved. It’s a situation that doesn’t thrill O’Neal and other trainers, but he understands racing has come under scrutiny on many fronts, including drugs. Trainer Michael Matz, who will send out Union Rags in the Belmont, says he still plans to ship his colt to Belmont on Wednesday. He, too, wondered about the timing of the sweeping changes. “Do they make this stuff up as they go along?” he asked Wednesday. O’Neill said racing has “a lot of black eyes all over the country, especially in New York,” and offi- cials are just trying to prove to the country that horses are treat- ed well. I’ll Have Another is stabled in a barn near the entrance to the main track after arriving in New York the day after winning the Preakness on May 19. O’Neill said horses who have yet to arrive may be at an advan- tage because they can move right into the stakes barn, and won’t have to be uprooted froma place where they’re already set- tled. The New York Times reported Wednesday night that steps tak- en by the authorities also include a set of specific safeguards di- rected at O’Neill. According to a confidential email obtained by the Times, O’Neill’s horses cannot in any way be treated “without a board investigator present,” and that he should not allow treatment of any of his horses “by mouth or in feed without conferring with a board investigator, who will first log the treatment and discuss the reason(s) for treatment.” The Times also reported O’Neill must provide veterinary records for I’ll Have Another and any other horses he may be run- ning over those days at Belmont “no later than 10 a.m.” each day after any treatment. When horses arrive at the barn, they will be required to have a blood test, which will be reviewed that night at the New York State Racing and Wagering Board’s drug lab.

H O R S E R A C I N G Trainer is fine with new rules at Belmont Loose horse nearly slams into I’ll Have Another NEW YORK — Trainer Doug O’Neill says a loose horse nearly slammed into Triple Crown hopeful I’ll Have Another during training Thursday at Belmont Park. He says his Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner was walking a few feet from the outside rail when another horse threw his rider and came “screaming up the outside rail” the same way I’ll Have Another was walking. O’Neill says the horse went between the rail and I’ll Have Another, and that exercise rider Jonny Garcia told him the horse grazed his boot. The trainer feared a collision was imminent. O’Neill says he’s seen accidents like that, and “they are ugly.” He says his stomach is “still a little twisted” and he doesn’t want to think about what nearly happened. I’ll Have Another will attempt to become the first Triple Crown winner in 34 years at the Belmont Stakes on June 9. By RICHARD ROSENBLATT AP Sports Writer C M Y K Stocks suffer in May With a disappointing finish on Thurs- day, the stock market closed what was by some measures its worst month in two years. Over five dismal weeks, Facebook fizzled, a debt crisis in Eu- rope loomed, and nobody was in the mood to buy. When May was mercifully over, the Dow Jones industrial average and other major indexes had erased most of the strong gains they built up through March and held on to in April. The Dow lost 820 points for the month, its worst showing since May 2010. Windows 8 in test release Microsoft is nearly done with a much-anticipated overhaul of its Win- dows operating system. The software maker signaled the makeover is nearly complete with Thursday’s release of the final test version of Windows 8. Upgrades include more ways to con- nect to other Microsoft services, more security controls and more touch- screen features. Most industry analysts expect the software to hit the market in Septem- ber or October. Windows 8 has been designed so it can run desktop, laptop and tablet computers. Record low mortgage rates Average U.S. rates for 30-year and 15-year fixed mortgages dropped to record lows again this week, with the 15-year loan dipping below 3 percent for the first time ever, according to a survey by mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. The rate on the 30-year mortgage, the most popular, fell to 3.75 percent. That’s down from 3.78 percent last week and the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s. The 15-year mortgage, an option for refi- nancing, slid to 2.97 percent from last week’s previous record low of 3.04 percent. India economy slows India’s economy grew 5.3 percent in the January-March quarter, the slowest rate in nine years The malaise in manufacturing and other sectors spread to ordinary Indi- ans, who trimmed spending as in- flation grew. India’s slowdown is worse today than it was during the global financial crisis.

BUSINESS S E C T I O N B THE TIMES LEADER FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 2012 timesleader.com T hanks toPamMasi of Bear Creek, a portion of a dilapidated down- town Wilkes-Barre building that used to employ strippers and bouncers is nowrefurbished as an ice creamshop dubbed Dairy Godmother’s. Masi, origi- nally from East Rutherford, N.J., also owns and operates two Bear Creek busi- nesses, Pamela’s Ice Cream and Cosen- za’s Pizza, which she took over in 2004 after her father retired. All three of the shops are family owned and operated along with employees who she consid- ers part of her family. “In 2000 I wouldn’t have been caught dead here,” said Masi, but she took no- tice of the improvements andthe chang- ing scenery of downtown. Even five years ago, “I sawthings you wouldn’t want your kids to see,” she said. But now the environment has im- proved. The shop is in a building that housed the Toppers strip club. “Nothing changes overnight,” Masi said, but her improvements to the block and upbeat outlook on the patrons are confirmation changes are in motion. She said the Wilkes-Barre Movies 14 on Northampton Street, which she can see from her shop’s sliding glass window, spurred a lot of the changes. She said the movie crowd, coupled with the downtown crowd, has helped sales in the first month of operation. She said her business and people skills are helping to spur return custom- ers. “I love people … there’s a lost art on how to treat people,” Masi explained. The ice cream shop offers more than 30 different soft serve flavors along with Turkey Hill ice cream and chili dogs. Eventually the plan is to expand the me- nu with items that can be found at Co- senza’s Pizza. There is currently no seating, but Ma- si hopes to change that in the future. The shop is open seven days a week un- til early autumn. Depending on re- sponse from Wilkes and King’s stu- dents, Dairy Godmother’s may remain open later in the year.

A SWEET ADDITION Ice cream shop opens in downtown Wilkes-Barre Times Leader Staff What: Dairy Godmother’s Where: Just off East Northampton Street on Livingston Lane Phone: 371-3889 Hours: Monday to Thursday noon-9:30 p.m.; Friday to Sunday noon-10:30 p.m. OPEN FOR BUSINESS NEW YORK — Americans loosened their purse strings in May, but it may have been a temporary splurge. Some major retailers such as Target and Macy’s on Thursday posted sales increases that beat Wall Street estimates as shop- pers were lured in by Mother’s Day promotions and colorful new styles of clothing. The gains follow a dismal showing from the month before Still, it may not be time to celebrate just yet. Revenue growth remains down from ear- lier in the year and worries about the global economy are starting to escalate again. Michael Niemira, chief econ- omist at the International Council of Shopping Centers, said while May’s results are en- couraging, he thinks troubling economic data will continue to weigh on consumers’ minds in the months ahead. “There’s something out there that’s worrying consumers,” he said. Only a handful of retailers representing roughly 13 per- cent of the U.S. retail industry report monthly sales figures based on stores open at least a year, which is a key measure of health because it excludes the impact of newly opened and closed stores. But economists watch the numbers because they offer a snapshot of con- sumer spending, which is crit- ical to economic growth. On average, retailers posted a 4 percent rise in May for reve- nue at stores open at least a year, according to the interna- tional shopping trade group. That’s better than the 3.6 per- cent analysts were expecting But the latest results seem to fly in the face of negative eco- nomic news. The Commerce Department said Thursday that the U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 1.9 percent in the first three months of the year, which was slower than expected. Growth of 2.5 percent is typi- cally enough just to keep pace with population changes. The Labor Department also report- ed that the number of Ameri- cans seeking unemployment benefits rose last week to a five-week high, evidence that the job market remains slug- gish. Retail sales rebound during May By CANDICE CHOI AP Business Writer LOS ANGELES -- The special "eco" versions of small cars such as the Chev- rolet Cruze, Ford Focus and Honda Civ- ic don’t improve fuel economy enough to be worth the extra money, according to an analysis by Consumer Reports. The magazine said it could take as long as 38 years for the extra cost to be worthwhile, depending on the vehicle. The cars, which come equipped with special low rolling resistance tires and aerodynamic features, generally cost $500 to $800 more than fuel-efficient siblings that don’t carry the "eco" label. Consumer Reports looked at the Ford Focus SFE, Chevrolet Cruze Eco and Honda Civic HF. The results: Consumer Reports found that the Cruze Eco saves drivers only $20 a year in gas purchases while the Focus SFE and Civic HF save con- sumers $145 and $135 a year, respec- tively. But the magazine said the Cruze Eco and the Focus SFE drove well, ranking "near the top of class among small se- dans." But it knocked the Civic HF, saying that it was one of the worst cars in the class. The magazine also evaluated the new Toyota Prius C subcompact hy- brid, which has been selling well. Con- sumer Reports said the Prius C’s "stel- lar 37 mpg in the city is the best of any car" it has tested. But except for fuel economy and easy parking, Consumer Reports didn’t like much else about the vehicle, which has a sticker price that starts at just under $19,000. "Overall, drivers will get what they pay for," the magazine said.
