Kevin Conley sits beneath a family portrait at his home in Middletown, Delaware, earlier this month. SUCHAT
PEDERSON/THE NEWS JOURNAL
Last in a series about issues veterans face after returning from the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan. The photograph over the fireplace is the very picture of a
loving, happy family. Seated together on the floor, close enough to be touching,
father Kevin Conley, mother Tina and children Dylan and Brynn exude a natural warmth that
seems entirely unforced. The picture was taken before Kevin, 43 and a now-retired major in
the Delaware Army National Guard, left to spend a year away from home on deployment,
most of it in a remote corner of Afghanistan with a team configured to help local officials build
a viable community after years of war.
That was in 2010. When Conley returned home to
Middletown, Delaware, he brought with him a mind
and body wracked with injury and anguish. Nine sur-
geries for those injuries have dotted his three-year
struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder and
traumatic brain injury, or TBI. The middle-of-the-
night outbursts, the getting lost while driving and
the need to lean on others to remember everyday
chores have taken a toll on his family.
And now, all await the repercussions of a late-
night run-in with the law at a neighborhood bar-and-
grill.
Shes been through the wringer, Kevin says of
Tina.
Its horrible, Tina says. Its been horrible.

cut back on courtesy busing. The views of all
parties in the dispute are presented in

LAKEWOOD Another week, another investigation
involving the townships school district. The suspicion
this time? Medicaid fraud.
The state Comptrollers Medicaid Fraud Division
wants the Lakewood Board of Education to deliver
copies of contracts, bills and other financial documents
it signed with several private schools and nonprofit
groups since 2009.
The seven-page subpoena requires Lakewood to pro-
vide the documents by June 30 or find itself liable for
contempt-of-court charges.
Isaac Zlatkin, the Board of Educations president,
said he is aware of the June 16 subpoena, but could not
comment on the questions it raises about whether Me-
dicaid fraud occurred.
We will comply with the subpoena, Zlatkin said on
Friday. I have no other details.
In 2012, Lakewood hired Rainbow Therapy one of
the companies named in the subpoena to provide be-
havior consulting services at $70 an hour, as part of a
contract that was not to exceed $60,000, according to
district documents.

Insomnia and other sleeping disorders dont just
ruin a good nights sleep, they cost American workers
and businesses $63 billion in lost productivity.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
called insufficient sleep a public health epidemicear-
lier this year. The average worker is as much as 8 per-
cent less productive on the job because of bad sleep, ac-
cording to a 2011academic analysis of the American In-
somnia Survey.
