A SOLEMN SALUTE TO THEIR ULTIMATE SACRIFICE
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
T
he Pennsylvania State Police Troop P in Wyoming celebrated its 107th anniversary with a memorial programat the
barracks on Wednesday. Troopers killed in the line of duty were honored at the service, which included the reading by
state police Lt. Richard Krawetz of the names of 10 troopers at Wyoming who made the ultimate sacrifice. Above, Sgt. An-
drew Wilk of Troop P salutes the flag after posting of the colors. For more about the service, see the story on Page 3A.
The private company hired to
collect levee protection mainte-
nance fees failed to send out no-
tices advising property owners
they were delinquent prior to fil-
ing liens, causing potentially
hundreds of people to incur sig-
nificantly higher penalties and
fees, a county official confirmed.
Prothonotary Carolee Medico
Olenginski on Wednesday said
an official with the Don Wilkin-
son Agency acknowledged the
company failed to send pre-lien
notices as required by its con-
tract to property owners who
did not pay the 2010 levee main-
tenance fee.
That failure cost homeowners
the opportunity to settle the
claimprior to the filing of a lien,
which would have reduced their
costs by at least $100.
Shannon Regner of South
Thomas Street, Kingston, said
she had to pay $115.50 in lien
costs on top of her $93.70 levee
bill and a $9.37 penalty that was
assessed for failing to pay the
2010 fee.
Regner said she paid the fee
for 2009 and 2011, and believed
she had also paid the 2010 fee.
She did not learn the 2010 bill
had not been paid until she got a
letter advising her a lien had
been filed against her property.
Regner said she was upset be-
cause failure to pay the 2010 fee
was an oversight. Had she got-
ten a delinquent notice she
would have paid the fee and pen-
alty right away and not been hit
with the lien fees.
I canaffordthis, but the point
is I should have gotten notice,
Regner said.
Medico Olenginski called the
Wilkinson agencys home office
in Pittsburgh Wednesday after
receiving complaints about the
lack of notice. The liens were fil-
ed with the prothonotarys of-
fice, but it played no role in issu-
ing the liens.
Medico Olenginski said a pa-
ralegal in the firms legal depart-
ment told her pre-lien notices
were sent out for 2009 delin-
quent bills, but they were not
sent out for 2010 delinquent
bills.
It was not clear Wednesday
how many property owners
were affected by the error. The
Flood Protection Authority re-
cently filed approximately 1,500

WILKES-BARRE Officials
fromLuzerne County Communi-
ty College and Wilkes University
entered into a dual admissions
agreement Wednesday that gives
LCCC students a better chance
to earn a bachelors degree from
Wilkes.
Under the arrangement, for-
mer LCCC students meeting a
minimum grade threshold also
will be guaranteed $10,000 in
scholarships eachyear they are at
Wilkes.
Wilkes President TimGilmour
said the agreement reflects the
universitys commitment to both
community college students and
the region as a whole. He said it
also will help us to meet a signif-
icant gapinthe educationlevel of
our population.
The future of Northeastern
Pennsylvania depends on an edu-
cated citizenry, Gilmour said,
noting that recent data shows 20
percent of adults in Luzerne
County hold bachelors degrees,
below the states 25.9 percent av-
erage and the national average of
27.6 percent.
In neighboring states the rates
are even higher: 32 percent in
New York and 35 percent in New
Jersey.
TomLeary, president of LCCC,
said the deal is an example of
two institutions joining togeth-
er to raise that percentage to cre-
ate a better-educatedworkforce.
More residents with college
degrees could help attract em-
ployers, particularly those with
higher pay scales.
We do think this (agreement)
will contribute to the economic
development of this region, Gil-

An increase in Spanish-speak-
ing residents led Luzerne County
election officials to offer Spanish
ballots in the April 24 primary
election, a move that raised some
eyebrows.
The Voting Rights Act of 1975
requires counties to provide lan-
guage assistance to voters if more
than 5 percent of voting-age citi-
zens are part of a minority group
and not proficient in English.
Former county election direc-
tor Leonard Piazza told the elec-
tion board at its April 2 meeting
that bilingual ballots would be of-
fered for the first time to ensure
the county complies with the act.
The Census Bureaus most re-
cent report from October 2011
lists only three Pennsylvania
counties that must comply with
the law by offering assistance in
Spanish Berks, Lehigh and Phi-
ladelphia.
However, thebureausays other
counties may determine on their
ownthat they shouldmeet the re-
quirement.

proposed by the state Department of Trans-
portation that would alleviate traffic issues
on Upper Demunds Road.
The new plan features a road from Upper
Demunds Road through township property
to State Route 309, which would be acces-
siblethroughatraffic light. Part of Upper De-
munds Road between that intersection and
the intersection with Hildebrandt Road
would be cut off from public use.
The original plan was to create an exten-
sion of Upper Demunds Road between the
Country Club Shopping Center and M&T
Bank, which would require a traffic light
once the road met Route 309.
Supervisor Liz Martin said the new plan
would cost about $1.5 million more than the
original plan, and state officials wanted
township input before moving forward with
the options.
Township Engineer Thomas Doughton
said the new option would be a safer choice
because it would eliminate the S-turn from
Route 309 to Upper Demunds Road and pro-
vide signalized access to the township
building.
He also said it would increase the distance
between the two traffic signals, which would
also increase safety.
Doughton said the plan would need to be
approved by the township planning commis-
sion if it were chosen for the project.
The project is in conjunction with plans to
create a roundabout in the five-corners area
of Dallas Borough. Martin said because of
the connection of the projects, PennDOT
hopes to complete the Upper Demunds
Road portion before the end of next year
when work is scheduled to begin in the bor-
ough.
In other news, township Emergency Man-
agement Agency Director Alan Pugh said he
is still researchingprices for emergencyalert
systems for residents.
He said there is currently a county system
at Luzerne.alertpa.org that features Dallas
Township as an alert topic, and alerts would
be sent through email and text messages.
Pugh also said a 911 call was received on
April 27 concerning loud noises coming
from the Chief Gathering LLC pipeline con-
struction project. He said the noises were
made froma grinder that was part of the con-
struction process.
The project includes building a pipeline to
connect to the Transco interstate pipeline
near the Dallas School District campus off
Hildebrandt Road.

Lupas arraignment set
U.S. District Magistrate Judge
Thomas Blewitt has scheduled the
arraignment for attorney Anthony
Lupas for Thursday
at 11:45 a.m. at the
federal courthouse
in Scranton.
Lupas, 77, was
indicted by a federal
grand jury on Tues-
day on five counts of
mail fraud.
Federal prosecutors say Lupas stole
more than $246,000 from a client
through a bogus investment scheme.
Lupas, first arrested on March 29, is
free on bail.

HARRISBURG Some of the 1,200
jobs that revolve around harness racing
at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs and
another 10,000 to 15,000 statewide
could be in jeopardy if Gov. TomCorbett
gets his way, horse race industry repre-
sentatives say.
Corbetts 2012-13 budget calls for tak-
ing $72 million fromthe Race Horse De-
velopment Fund to plug other holes in
the agriculture budget, and members of
the state Senate Democratic Policy
Committee got an earful on the issue
Wednesday at a hearing in Harrisburg to
examine the economic impacts of the
proposal.
Mohegan Sun President Bobby Soper
couldnt attend, but a letter he sent to
Committee Chair Lisa Boscola was en-
tered into record.
Soper noted Mohegan Sun invested
more than $10 million in improvements
to the track and related facilities since
2006, andthat racingsupports 234of the
1,844 jobs at the facility. He also said the
track was selected to host the 2010
Breeders Crown, one of harness racings
premier events that marked the first na-
tional broadcast of Pennsylvaniaharness
racing in years.
Ron Battoni, executive director of the
Pennsylvania Harness Horsemens Asso-
ciation, testified the association was in-
vited to host the Breeders Crown again
in 2013 but, because of the proposed
funding reduction, was forced to de-
cline.
This is unfortunate, because in 2010,
Breeders Crown participants and fans
had a major economic impact on North-
east Pa., selling out hotels for miles
around and spending tourist dollars in
restaurants and stores. Breeders Crown
was front page news in all of the local pa-
pers, Battoni said. The millions of dol-
lars that were spent, as well as the price-
less publicity, will go elsewhere.
Purses breed investment
Battoni said the Race Horse Develop-
ment Fund has enabled tracks to offer
much larger purses to horse owners,
which has resulted in breeders and
horsemen investing millions of dollars
to promote horse racing in the state.

WILKES-BARRE In recorded
jailhouse telephone conversa-
tions, homicide suspect Benjamin
Tyrell Westbrooks, detailed his al-
leged role as a pimp and requested
women to collect money for him.
I pimp, thats what I do, jurors
on Wednesday heard Westbrooks
tell a woman that prosecutors
identify as the mother of one of his
children. The conversation oc-
curred in December 2010, prose-
cutors said.
The recorded phone conversa-
tions from the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility were played
for jurors Wednesday, the third
day of Westbrooks trial on homi-
cide charges in the November
2010 shooting death of 20-year-old
Alicia Weaver of Hazleton.
Testimony will continue this
morning.
Prosecutors sayWestbrooks, 22,
of West Hazleton, shot and killed
Weaver in a wooded area in Foster
Township after the two argued
about money. Westbrooks alleged-
ly saidWeaver owedhim. Prosecu-
tors identify Weaver as a prosti-
tute and Westbrooks as her pimp.
The phone conversations in-
cluded Westbrooks telling the
woman he was pimping women.
A different conversation or-
dered another woman who is the
mother of one of his children to
collect money from three of his
workers, Daphne, Jess and Lua-
ni. They owe me money. Get in
touchwiththem, the voice onthe
tape said.
Prosecutors said the phone con-
versations show Westbrooks was
involved in prostitution, even
though he denied the allegations
to police.
Other recorded conversations
name a key person involved in
Weavers homicide probe and how
Westbrooks says he avoided being
apprehended by police.
Prosecutors also called forensic
pathologist Mary Pascucci, who
performed an autopsy on Weaver,
to testify. Pascucci testified Weav-
er died from multiple gunshot
wounds, andher deathwas ruleda
homicide.
Three of the four gunshot
wounds Weaver received were
deadly in and of themselves, Pas-
cucci testified, including one that
passedthroughher upper right ab-
domen and struck a large artery.
A forensic scientist testified she
submitted several items to be sent
for DNA analysis, including a sex-
ual assault evidence kit.
Joseph Kukowski, a forensic sci-
entist with the Pennsylvania State
Police, testified about several
DNA analyses he performed.
Kukowski testified a shell cas-
ing found inside Weavers body
contained DNA that matched
Westbrooks brother, Dyrell, and
that swabs fromthe sexual assault
kit matched DNA from Weaver
and her then-boyfriend, Domin-
ique Frazier.

Hanover Township resident
Vic Kopko is about to settle his
property assessment chal-
lenge, ending a four-year battle
he once hoped would throw
out Luzerne Countys 2009
reassessment.
Kopko filed an assessment
appeal in 2008 when the coun-
tys reassessment company,
21st Century Appraisals Inc.,
valued his property at
$392,300.
The assessment was re-
ducedto$285,200by the coun-
ty assessment appeals board,
and Kopko advanced the chal-
lenge to court-level mediation.
Kopko sold the property for
$250,000 in October 2010, but
the sale was recorded at
$268,000 because it included
$18,000 in personal property.
He attempted to pursue
court action throwing out the
reassessment as part of his
mediation but was advised
hed have to take the legal mat-
ter to trial.
Kopko said Wednesday he
did not want to invest signifi-
cant funds on further litigation
because the public seemed to
have lost interest inthe cause.
He said he reached a verbal
agreement on a reduced as-
sessment at mediation, though
he cant disclose the amount
until it is finalized.
Property owners and county
assistant solicitor David
Schwager must sign off on all
mediation settlements. Kop-
kos settlement would be retro-
active to 2009, which means
taxing bodies must refund

in the line of duty, state police retiree
Sgt. Chester Zaremba said. For more
than three decades I worked in lawen-
forcement, I have seen day after day

that characterized every officer we
commemorate here today.
State police retirees placed a wreath
at the memorial stone in front of the
Wyoming barracks. Then state police
Lt. Charles Sands played Amazing
Grace on bagpipes.
Trooper Joshua Miller, of Pittston
Township, who was assigned to the
Swiftwater barracks of Troop N, was
also remembered. Miller was killed in
a shooting while saving a kidnapped9-
year-old boy near Tobyhanna on June
7, 2009.

the line of duty are:
Pvt. John Garcia, 30, was shot and
killed while arresting a person in Jen-
kins Township.

killed when he lost control of his mo-
torcycle near Pottsville on Oct. 24,
1923.
Sgt. Edwin F. Haas, 35, died of an
accidental shooting on Oct. 17, 1924.

nooka on Dec. 10, 1034, and died the
next day.
Pvt. John J. Broski, 40, was shot
during a robbery at a tavern in Wilkes-
Barre, on Aug. 14, 1937.
Pvt. George J. Yashur Jr., 25, died
after he was struck by a vehicle while
directing traffic on Market Street,
Kingston, during a flood on April 1,
1940.
Trooper Thomas M. Kobeski, 39,
died of a heart attack after a court
hearing in Pittston on May 3, 2002.

JACKSON TWP. A former po-
lice officer was arrestedoncharges
he attempted to stab his wife.
Barry Joseph Stubeda Sr., 49, of
Garbutt Avenue, Dallas Township,
rushed into his mothers house on
East Meadow Street, telling his
mother, Dolores, that he was there
to kill his wife Hillary on Sunday,
according to charges filed.
Police allege Stubeda shoved his
mother out of the way and pushed
Hillary, striking her head off a
kitchen counter. Stubeda picked
up a six-inch knife and attempted
to stab Hillary several times until
his mother grabbed him from be-
hind.
Stubeda then rammed his car in-
to Hillarys parked truck several
times before driving away.
Dallas Township police had Stu-
bedas house under surveillance,
watching him pull into his garage.
When police
approached the
garage, Stubeda
closed the door
and was stunned
by a Taser as the
door closed, ac-
cording to the
criminal complaint.
Police charged Stubeda with six
counts of simple assault, five
counts of aggravated assault, four
counts of harassment, two counts
each of disorderly conduct and
criminal mischief and a single
count of resisting arrest.
He remained jailed Wednesday
at the Luzerne County Correction-
al Facility for lack of $75,000 bail.
Stubeda was formerly a police
officer in West Wyoming and Jack-
son Township.
A preliminary hearing is sched-
uled on May 10 before District
Judge James Tupper in Kingston
Township.

WILKES-BARRE A mother
and daughter charged with
stealing more than $700,000 in
bingo proceeds asked Wednes-
day to have their May 7 trial
continued to a later date.
Carol Gamble, 50, of West
Pittston and Catherine Drago,
80, of Forty Fort, will nowstand
trial on Oct. 15, said Luzerne
County Judge Lesa Gelb.
The continuances were re-
quested by Gambles at-
torney, Joseph Sklarosky
Sr., and Dragos attorney,
William Ruzzo. The rea-
son for the request was un-
known Wednesday.
State police at Wyoming say
the women used their positions
as officers withtheSwoyersville
Volunteer Hose Co. No. 1 to pil-
fer money collected through
bingo games the department
held during a three-year period.
They were charged in Decem-
ber 2008.
The trial is expected to last
four days. The trial hadbeende-
layed when defense attorneys
said they needed more time to
review numerous and signifi-
cant financial documents relat-
ing to the case.
According to court papers,
Drago, the fire companys trea-
surer, and Gamble, the
companys president, took con-
trol in 2001of collecting and de-
positing money generated at
bingo games held as a fundrais-
er for the department.
The state Bureau of Charita-
ble Organizations began an in-
vestigation in 2005 after Drago
submitted incomplete informa-
tion as part of a routine survey
the bureau conducts to deter-
mine if a charitable organiza-
tion must register with the
state.
A bureau official became sus-
picious because the amount of
revenue Dragoreportedthe bin-
go generated was less than the
bureau thought it should be.
A detailed audit then was
conducted, which determined
the hose company generated a
total of $1,789,529 from Jan. 1,
2004, to Nov. 14, 2007.
Of that amount, $1,054,781
was deposited into the depart-
ments bank account, leaving
$734,748 unaccounted for.
Search warrants revealed
Drago and Gamble issued
checks totaling $416,077 to
themselves dating from Janu-
ary 2004 toSeptember 2006, ac-
cording to court papers.
Police did not say how the
women allegedly spent the
money or how much each is al-
leged to have taken.

BEIJING
Activists fears create rift
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham
Clinton told China on Thursday that it
must protect human rights, in remarks
that rejected Beijings criticism of the
U.S. for getting involved in the case of
a blind dissident whose fate overshad-
owed the opening of annual talks be-
tween the powerful countries.
Clinton said at the opening of the
talks on foreign policy and economic
issues that the U.S. believes all gov-
ernments have to answer our citizens
aspirations for dignity and the rule of
law and that no nation can or should
deny those rights.
Her comments came as the disside-
nt, Chen Guangcheng, pleaded for
more help from Washington. The blind,
self-taught lawyer took refuge in the
U.S. Embassy after escaping house
arrest, but left Wednesday to get treat-
ment for a leg injury at a Beijing hospi-
tal.
He initially said he had been assured
that he would be safe in China, but
hours later he said he fears for his
familys safety unless they are all spirit-
ed abroad. He also claimed U.S. offi-
cials abandoned him at the hospital,
which they denied.
China already demanded an apology
from the U.S. even before Chen balked
at a deal in which he would remain in
his homeland. Now that he wants to
leave, the case is looming over talks in
which Clinton and Treasury Secretary
Timothy Geithner are to discuss for-
eign policy and economic issues with
their Chinese counterparts.
SAN DIEGO
Student jailed, forgotten
The Drug Enforcement Adminis-
tration issued an apology Wednesday
to a California student who was picked
up during a drug raid and left in a
holding cell for four days without food,
water or access to a toilet.
DEA San Diego Acting Special
Agent-In-Charge William R. Sherman
said in a statement he was troubled by
the treatment of Daniel Chong and
extended his deepest apologies to
him. The agency is investigating how
its agents forgot about Chong.
Chong, 23, was never arrested, was
not going to be charged with a crime
and should have been released, said a
law enforcement official who was
briefed on the DEA case and spoke on
the condition of anonymity.
The engineering student at the Uni-
versity of California, San Diego, said he
drank his own urine to survive.
His lawyer Eugene Iredale said
Chong went to his friends house on
April 20 to get high and fell asleep.
Agents stormed in at 9 a.m. the next
day and swept him up as one of nine
suspects in a raid that netted 18,000
ecstasy pills, other drugs and weapons.
CAIRO
Nine dead in Egypt clashes
Clashes erupted on Wednesday be-
tween assailants and mostly Islamist
protesters gathered outside the De-
fense Ministry in the Egyptian capital,
leaving nine people dead and nearly 50
wounded, security officials said.
The violence is the latest episode in
more than a year of turmoil in Egypt
following the ouster of longtime au-
thoritarian ruler Hosni Mubarak and
will likely fuel more tensions just three
weeks ahead of presidential elections.

Wild ride for Harley
It must have been a wild ride. Japa-

motorcycle lost in last years tsunami
has washed up on a Canadian island
about 4,000 miles away.
The rusted bike was found in a large
white container where its owner, Ikuo
Yokoyama, had kept it. He was located

The motorcycle is among the first
items lost in the tsunami to reach the
west coast of North America.

over the place, he said. It be-
came trash when someone
threwit away.
White County judge Thomas
Hughes, however, said Jones
never met the burden of proof
that Duncan abandoned her
right to claim$1 million.
The $1 million was never
found money, Hughes said.
Earlier Tuesday, Jones testi-
fied that she gathered a handful
of discarded tickets from the
trash can as she had done
many times before and said
there was no sign alerting cus-
tomers not to take tickets.
That contradicted Super 1
Stop store manager Lisa Pe-
triches earlier testimony that
she had taped a sign that read
Do not take on the can. But a
former store clerk testified that
Petriches posted the sign only
after Jones claimed the prize.
Petriches brought the law-
suit against Jones, and Duncan
joinedit after the judge saidat a
January hearing that she may
be the true owner of the ticket.
Hughes ruled that Petriches
andthestores owner, LouieDa-
jani whose corporation,
Summer One LLC, joined the
suit werent entitled to any-
thing.

signs it. Jones attorneys will
then have 30 days to file an ap-
peal.

ORLANDO, Fla. Thirteen
people were charged Wednesday
for their roles in the hazing death
of aFloridaA&MUniversitydrum
major who was severely beaten in
what appears to be one of the big-
gest college hazing cases ever.
The charges were announced
more than five months after 26-
year-old Robert Champion died
aboardacharteredbus parkedout-
side an Orlando hotel following a
performance against a rival
school. The case has exposed a
harsh tradition among marching
bands at some colleges aroundthe
U.S.
Champion was severely beaten
by band members in November
and had with bruises on his chest,
arms, shoulder and back, author-
ities said. Witnesses toldemergen-
cy dispatchers Champion was
vomiting before he was found un-
responsive aboard the bus.
State Attorney Lawson Lamar
said 11 of the 13 people will face a
hazing resulting indeathcharge, a
third-degree felony. If convicted,
they could face up to nearly six
years inprison. Theother twopeo-
plewill faceamisdemeanor charg-
es.
Thenamesof thosechargedwill
not bereleaseduntil theyareall ar-
rested, Lamar said.
Legal experts had predicted
prosecutors may file more serious
charges like manslaughter and
second-degree murder. The
Champion family said they were
disappointed.
Champions mother, Pam, said
she was glad charges were
brought, but disappointed they
werent more severe.
I thought there would be more
serious charges, she told The As-
sociated Press. I thought it
should send a harsher message.
Prosecutors, however, didnt
think they had enough evidence.
The testimony obtained to
date does not support a charge of
murder, in that it does not contain
the elements of murder, Lamar
said. We can prove participation
in hazing and a death. We do not
have a blow or a shot or a knife
thrust that killedMr. Champion. It
is an aggregation of things which
exactly fit the Florida statute as
written by the Legislature.
Floridas hazing lawwas passed
in2005followingthe deathof Uni-
versity of Miami student Chad
Meredith four years earlier. Mere-
dith was drunk and died trying to
swimacross a lake at the behest of
fraternity brothers. No criminal
charges werefiledinhis case, but a
civil jury ordered the fraternity
Kappa Sigma to pay Merediths
parents $12 million.

MIAMI Federal author-
ities charged 107 doctors,
nurses and social workers in
seven cities with Medicare
fraud Wednesday in a nation-
wide crackdown on unrelated
scams that allegedlybilledthe
taxpayer-funded program of
$452 million the highest
dollar amount in a single
Medicare bust in U.S. history.
Health and Human Servic-
es Secretary Kathleen Sebeli-
us and Attorney General Eric
Holder partnered in 2009 to
increase enforcement by allo-
cating more money and staff
and creating strike forces in
fraud hot spots.
Among those arrested
Wednesday were the owners
of two community mental
health centers in Baton
Rouge, charged with billing
$225 million in their scams.
Hoor Naz Jafri andRoslynDo-
gan allegedly recruited vul-
nerable patients, including el-
derlypeople, drugaddicts and
thementallyill. Patient charts
were doctored to showservic-
es that were billed to Medi-
care but often never given, ac-
cording to an indictment.
Authorities suspended
their companies in May 2011,
but the pair continued billing
Medicare after purchasing an-
other fraudulent company, ac-
cording to the indictment.
When feds shut down that
company, the pair tried to sell
their beneficiaries to other
providers in an attempt to
keep making money.
Five others were charged in
connection with the Baton
Rouge scam, capping a six-
year investigation.
More than 50 defendants
were alsoarrestedinMiami in
unrelated scams totaling $136
million involving community
mental health centers and
home health care agencies. A
handful of those arrested also
had criminal backgrounds, ac-
cording to federal agents.

ARLINGTON, Va. Newt Gingrich,
the colorful former House speaker and
fiery partisan, formally exited the Re-
publican presidential contest Wednes-
day and vowed to help Mitt Romneys
bid to defeat President Barack Obama.
Ending a campaign that seesawed be-
tween implosion and frontrunner and
back again, Gingrich threw his support
to his one-time rival as expected and
promised his supporters he would con-
tinue to push conservative ideas. Gin-
grichbowedout of the race more than$4
million in debt and his reputation per-
haps damaged.
Today, I am suspending the cam-
paign. But suspending the campaign
does not mean suspending citizenship,
Gingrich told a hotel ballroom in subur-
ban Washington.
We are now going to put down the
role of candidate and candidates spouse
andtake backthe role of active citizens,
he said, adding he would continue to
promote conservative ideas on college
campuses, as well as through newslet-
ters and films.
He also urged conservatives to rally
behind Romney as a better alternative
than Obama.
This is not a choice between Mitt
Romney and Ronald Reagan. This is a
choice between Mitt Romney and the
most radical, leftist president in Amer-
ican history, Gingrich said.
Gingrich saw extremes during his
campaign. His senior staff resigned en
masse last summer when Gingrich
seemed unwilling to undertake a tradi-
tional campaign schedule of person-to-
personcampaigningandfundraising. In-
stead, he leaned on social media plat-
forms such as Facebook and Twitter, as
well as a steady stream of broadcast in-
terviews he seemed to relish.
It seemed to work for a while. Gin-
grich plodded along with a proudly non-
traditional campaign and strong debate
performances. The showings helped
himwininSouthCarolina one of only
two states he would win but were in-
sufficient to stave off Romneys spend-
ing and organization in Florida. After
Gingrichs stinging January loss there,
the always high-spending campaign
seemed to sputter along while amassing
enormous debt.
The campaign ended February with
$1.5 million in the red. The campaign
nowowes more than $1million to Moby
Dick Airways, the air charter company
he used to ferry himself and his wife
around the country, mixing campaign
rallies with stops at zoos and historical
sites. The campaign also owes the Patri-
ot Security Group almost $450,000 for
security services.

Cinco De Mayo in Plains
PLAINS TWP. The Joint
Operating Committee that runs
the Wilkes-Barre Area Career
and Technical Center approved
a 2012-13 preliminary budget
that increases total spending
yet reduces how much each
member district is expected to
pay to help run the center.
The center primarily serves
students from five districts:
Crestwood, Greater Nanticoke
Area, Hanover Area, Pittston
Area and Wilkes-Barre Area.
The JOCconsists of representa-
tives from the school boards of
those five districts. While the
JOC draws up the budget, it
must be ratified by each mem-
ber school board.
The proposed budget in-
creases total spending from
$8.65 million this year to $8.91
million next year. Salaries
make up the biggest chunk,
$4.15 million in the proposed
budget, up $112,431 from this
year. Benefits are the second
biggest line item at $2.07 mil-
lion in the proposed budget, up
$368,622.
The bulk of the centers mon-
ey comes from member dis-
tricts through payments calcu-
lated on a per pupil basis. Pay-
ments from all five districts in
the proposedbudget total $6.27
million, down $66,741.
Savings for individual dis-
tricts range from $2,670 at
Crestwood to $27,954 at Grea-
ter Nanticoke Area.
The proposed budget pro-
jects an increase in payments
fromnon-member districts that
send students to the center,
from$350,000 to $440,000, and
an increase in money from
vending machines, from
$28,000 to $32,373.
The proposed budget antici-
pates a 32 percent increase in
state money, from $784,835 to
$1.04 million, but that is based
on Gov. Tom Corbetts pro-
posed budget the legislature
has yet to act on.
JOC Member Gene Mancini
said he cast the lone vote op-
posing the preliminary budget.
Mancini said he believed the
JOC could do more to decrease
center costs and thus increase
savings for districts.
Mancini said the center is
avoiding increases in district
payments by taking money
froma capital reserve fund ini-
tially set aside for building pro-
jects or maintenance and us-
ing it for debt payments. Once
the fund is depleted, Mancini
said, that option wont be avail-
able.
School districts are filling
large budget holes by either
cutting staff or not replacing re-
tirees, Mancini noted, yet we
dont do any cuts.

WILKES-BARRE An attor-
ney for Luzerne County has
asked a judge to dismiss Chief
Public Defender Al Floras
lawsuit, arguing Flora does
not have standing to bring the
suit because he, not the coun-
ty, is responsible for the prob-
lems he cites.
Attorney John Dean also ar-
gues the lawsuit, which seeks
to force the county to hire
more public defenders, should
be tossed because Flora failed
to take actions that might re-
solve problems in his office.
The American Civil Liber-
ties Union filed suit last
month against the county on
behalf of Flora and three indi-
gent criminal defendants.
The suit alleges the countys
failure to properly fund the
public defenders office has
led to a severe staffing short-
age that is threatening the
constitutional rights of indi-
gent defendants.
Flora claims staffing prob-
lems forced him to implement
a policy that limits the types of
cases the office will take.
Thats meant some people
who financially qualify for rep-
resentation are being turned
down and provided no other
counsel.
The county on Friday filed
preliminary objections to the
lawsuit a legal document
that seeks to dismiss the case
prior to any pre-trial testimo-
ny or evidence gathering.
Dean cites numerous legal
issues, including an argument
that Flora cannot bring the
lawsuit because it was his de-
cision to stop accepting cases.
Any deprivation that the in-
dividual plaintiffs are alleged
to have suffered or are suffer-
ing are the direct result of
(Floras) admitted refusal to
perform the duties of the of-
fice, Dean said. Chief PD Flo-
ra cannot purposely refuse to
perform his obligations . . . . in
order to create a basis for him
to claim standing to pursue
the lawsuit.
Dean further argues that
any issues with workload and
resources in the public defend-
ers office is related to Floras
competency in managing the
office, not a lack of funding.
He also faults Flora for fail-
ing to try alternatives, such as
seeking volunteer attorneys,
before demanding more staff.
There is no allegation in
this case that Chief PD Flora
utilized the authority availa-
ble to him . . . to meet his obli-
gations, or even that he, per-
sonally, accepted a caseload to
assist with the workload in the
office, Dean said.
Dean notes the county has
not refused to provide funding
to Floras office. The issue, he
said, is that Flora simply dis-
agrees with the countys bud-
geting priorities.
The ACLU will have an op-
portunity to respond to the ob-
jections. A judge will issue a
ruling at a later date.
Attorney: Flora at fault
County tries to halt chief
public defenders lawsuit,
saying he mismanaged office.

STATE COLLEGE Seeking
to make amends for the Penn
Statechildsexabusescandal, the
university said it has given more
than $1.1million in football bowl
revenues to its new center for
child abuse research and treat-
ment.
The Center for the Protection
of Children, started in the wake
of child sex abuse allegations
against former assistant football
coach Jerry Sandusky, will offer
treatment for abused children
and a primary care clinic for fos-
ter kids. It also will sponsor re-
search into the prevention, de-
tection and treatment of abuse;
offer training; provide advocacy;
and collect data.
We expect that the center will
become a national leader in clin-
ical care, research, educationand
direction of policy related to
child abuse and neglect, Penn
State President Rodney Erickson
said in a statement Wednesday.
The funding is more than
twice the amount that Penn
StatehadpromisedinDecember.
The university said higher-than-
expected bowl revenues allowed
it to give more. Penn States
share of Big Ten bowl proceeds
totaled $2.6 million, of which
$1.5 million has already been do-
nated to the Pennsylvania Coali-
tion against Rape, a group that
operates rape crisis centers
across the state.
The Center for the Protection
of Children will be based at Penn
State Hershey Childrens Hospi-
tal and bring together clinicians,
scientists, legal scholars andedu-
cators. Its director, Dr. Andrea
Taroli, said the project has an
ambitious agenda, and that the
additional fundingwill helpit get
off the ground more quickly.
I am very excited that Penn
State has enabled the Center to
have a solid foundation upon
which to build, Taroli said.
The center could collaborate
with other Penn State entities,
including the law school and its
Childrens Advocacy Clinic, as
well as the Children, Youth and
Families Consortium. More than
400 faculty members from disci-
plines including human develop-
ment, education and agriculture
are involved in that effort.

The Associated Press
HARRISBURG A proposal
to cut business taxes and attempt
to close the much-maligned De-
laware loophole is on its way to
the state Senate after the Penn-
sylvania House of Representa-
tives approved it over Demo-
crats objections.
The Republican-controlled
House voted 129-to-58 on
Wednesday to cut the corporate
net income tax rate from 10 per-
cent to 7 percent over six years,
and make other business-friendly
tax changes.
Supporters predict it will fuel
business growthandpay for itself
over the coming years, but oppo-
nents counter that it carries a
multibillion-dollar price tag.
HouseDemocratic Rep. Phyllis
Mundy, D-Kingston, says the bill
has glaring problems and wont
help the average hard-working
middle-class citizens and small
businesses that she represents.
Opponents of the loophole say
its used by businesses to avoid
state taxes.
Mundy, Eddie Day Pashinski,
D-Wilkes-Barre, and Sid Michael
Kavulich, D-Taylor, voted against
the bill. Reps. Mike Carroll, D-
Avoca, and Jerry Mullery, D-
Newport Township, were among
23 Democrats who joined106 Re-
publicans to vote in favor of the
bill.
Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler
Township, and Karen Boback, R-
Harveys Lake, voted in favor.

The county reassessment re-
sulted in more than 2,000 court-
level mediations.
Additional mediations have
been filed based on assessment
appeals initiated in 2009 and lat-
er years, Schwager said.
Schwager said he has wrapped
up all but roughly 200 of the
mediations stemming from ap-
peals filed before the reassess-
ment.
Schwager said many of these
original filings are in limbo be-
cause the property owners, most-
ly commercial, have not taken ac-
tion to finalize agreements. He
bases settlements largely on cer-
tified appraisals submitted by
property owners.
Plans for the next reassess-
ment are still undecided.
Past county commissioners
had passed a resolution in 2003
requiring the county to complete
a reassessment every four years
to prevent assessments from get-
ting stale.
The resolution would have re-
quired new property values to be
mailed this year because 2008
was the base year for the last reas-
sessment. However, commis-
sioners decided to ignore the res-
olution last year, saying the ex-
pense wasnt justified when state
statistics show the countys as-
sessments are still sound.
Statistics from the State Tax
Equalization Board released last
July indicated Luzerne Countys
assessments were the best in the
state when the values were com-
pared to actual sales. Another
discussion about reassessment is
expected when newfigures come
out this summer.
The last revaluation cost $8
million and was more involved
because the values had not been
updated since 1965. The next
reassessment is supposed to be
completed in-house and cost sig-
nificantly less, officials have said.

HARRISBURG Compact-
ness, unity and preserving
community identity were the
themes state Rep. Gerry Mul-
lery urged the Legislative Re-
districting Commission to ad-
here to when considering re-
drawing the states legislative
districts.
Many of the nearly 30 peo-
ple testifying during the com-
missions public hearing on
Wednesday argued for the
same things.
Mullery, a Democrat from
Newport Township, spent his
allocated 5 minutes blasting
the five-member panels pro-
posal that redraws the states
203 House and 50 Senate dis-
tricts. Specifically, he took
aim at a plan, he said, that
completely fractures the
greater Hazleton area by sep-
arating Hazle Township and
West Hazleton Borough from
the city of Hazleton.
I, along with the people
and elected leaders of Hazle
Township and West Hazleton,
cannot understand any cir-
cumstance that would require
the separation of these two
great communities from Ha-
zleton City, Mullery said.
He said that residents of the
greater Hazleton area have
been treated like second-
class citizens. A singular,
strong voice in Harrisburg
could correct those feelings,
but approving the plans would
do more to fuel them.
Mullery offered amend-
ments to the proposed maps
that would keep the greater
Hazleton area, Luzerne Coun-
tys South Valley region, the
Mountain Top communities,
the Five Mountain region and
greater Wilkes-Barre together
in their respective legislative
districts.
He said splitting them is
unnecessary and he doesnt
believe the new plans for state
maps meet the requirements
mandated by the state consti-
tution.
The revised plan addresses
concerns about splitting mu-
nicipalities between districts
that the state Supreme Court
cited when it tossed out the
original plan in a landmark
ruling in Janu-
ary. The new-
est map of
Senate dis-
tricts shows
just two mu-
nicipalities
split between
districts. The
court-rejected plan had four
such instances and the 2001
plan currently in effect has
three. None is in Luzerne
County.
The proposed House map
has 68 municipal splits. The
rejected maps had 108, and
there currently are121munici-
palities split among districts
including Hanover and Hazle
townships in Luzerne County.
I believe the Legislative Re-
districting Commissions pre-
liminary plan fails to encapsu-
late the spirit of our Supreme
Courts most recent decision,
Mullery said.
Many of those testifying
Wednesday, including Com-
mon Cause Director Barry
Kauffman and Lora Lavin of
the League of Women Voters,
said the new plans are an im-
provement over the ones the
court threw out but need fur-
ther improvement.
State Sen. Daylin Leach, D-
King of Prussia, said the maps
were political gerrymander-
ing pure and simple.
Legislative districts must
be balanced every decade to
reflect population changes re-
ported in the U.S. Census. The
party in power controls the re-
districting process.
The commission has sched-
uled a second day of testimony
on Monday at 2 p.m., to hear
17 more speakers. The biparti-
san commission must vote to
approve or reject the maps by
May 14. New maps approved
by the panel, barring other
court action, would go into ef-
fect next year and be in place
for the 2014 legislative elec-
tion.

SALEM TWP. The U.S. Nuclear Regula-
tory Commission on Wednesday released a
quarterly inspection report for PPLs Susque-
hanna Steam Electric Station that contains
four findings of very low safety significance.
The NRCs report covers a three-month pe-
riod of inspection by resident inspectors and
announced inspections performed by region-
al inspectors at the nuclear power plant near
Berwick.
The report documents three NRC-identi-
fied findings and one self-revealing finding
that involve violations of NRC requirements.
Additionally, two PPL-identified viola-
tions, which were determined to be of very
low safety significance, are listed in the re-
port. However, because of their very lowsafe-
ty significance and because they are entered
into PPLs corrective action plan, the NRC is
treating those findings as non-cited viola-
tions.
One violation involved PPLs safety-related
motor operated valve program. Specifically,
the program lacked a procedure, qualifica-
tion, and prescribed acceptance criteria for
actuator grease analysis, andPPLimproperly
implemented maintenance instructions for
lubricating valve stems.
Multiple cycles without proper lubrication
could result in untimely actuator overhauls
and ultimately degraded performance, the
NRC noted. But because it was not a design
or qualification deficiency and involved no
loss of safety function, it was not found to be
potentially risk significant.
The NRCalso found that PPL did not have
adequate instrumentation to assess and de-
termine if an abnormal radiological water re-
lease so that an emergency alert could be de-
clared accurately and in a timely manner.
Specifically, the maximum range for the
liquid radwaste discharge radiation monitor
was inadequatetoensurethemeter wouldac-
curately report when a threshold value of 200
times the alarm setpoint established by the
discharge permit was reached.
A third violation occurred when an em-
ployee who had not been briefed on proper
entry into a high radiation area entered
such an area.
Afourth occurred after a work crewidenti-
fied that radiation dose rates exceeded alert
levels specified on their radiation work per-
mits used to transfer an 1100 Curie Cesium
137 source from a shipping cask to a calibra-
tion irradiator.
TheNRCsaidthecrewdidnot completeall
of the required actions prior to restarting the
work. Specifically, higher levels of supervi-
sion were not notified, the work permit was
not changed, andnoadditional actions or pre-
cautions were documented in the remarks
log.
Actions toaddress all of theviolations were
added to PPLs corrective action plan.

HAZLETON Council mem-
ber Karin Cabell said Wednes-
day night she was determined
to protect the interests of city
taxpayers.
Cabell, speaking at the city
council meeting, was respon-
ding to discussion of an ordi-
nance that imposes a fee oncity
retailers for re-inspections by
the citys health inspector if
their establishment failed an
original inspection.
Fellow council member Jean
Mope said passage of the bill
would place an unnecessary
burden on city retailers.
If the bill is not passed, it
will place a burden on the city
and its taxpayers, Cabell re-
sponded. Retailers have a duty
to keep their establishments in
appropriate and healthy condi-
tions.
The bill was amended and
passed, directing that retailers
would pay a reduced amount if
a second inspection of their
businesses was necessary.
Council member Keith Bast
said this compromise would
benefit both retailers and resi-
dents of the city.
In another matter, council
passed a resolution to clarify
eminent domain proceedings
for property on Broad and Lau-
rel streets, the site of the for-
mer Greco Centrum property.
Solicitor Chris Slusser as-
sured those present that in
spite of the resolution, the city
would need to litigate this mat-
ter only once, if the Grecos
chose to appeal the citys at-
tempt to obtain the property.
Mayor Joseph Yannuzzi de-
fended the citys decision to
pursue the property to build a
robotic parking garage funded
with $4.8 million in gaming
money secured by the city. Yan-
nuzzi said a parking garage on
Broad and Laurel would lend it-
self to increased business and
revenue in downtown Hazle-
ton.
Council member Jim Perry
also voiced support for the pro-
ject.
In another matter, police
Chief Frank DAndrea said he
and Slusser were reviewing ex-
isting ordinances in order to
keep city playgrounds safe.
DAndrea said lighting and
hours of operation would be
among the items addressed
during the review.

ROSS TWP. -- Residents are
gearing up for their annual vol-
unteer fire company fundraiser
and Memorial Day Parade.
The fundraiser is to be held
Thursday, May 24 through
Monday, May 28 in the Sweet
Valley Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment parking lot along Main
Road in Sweet Valley.
Township Supervisor and As-
sistant Fire Chief Stan Davis
said the four-day event will fea-
ture rides, food and live music.
Davis said the festival of sorts
is the volunteers largest fun-
draiser each year.
He said the department pro-
vides mutual aid services to sur-
rounding municipalities, some
of which do not have fire compa-
nies of their own, and that the
department hopes for a good
turnout.
The parade is to take place
Monday, May 28 starting at 1:30
p.m.
Schoolhouse Road will be-
closed for the parade participa-
nts to prepare for their three-
fourths mile hike down Main
Road to the fire department.

Luzerne Countys prothonotary this week learned
that her legal challenge to the home rule charter
has been unsuccessful, meaning her elected, row
office post can be eliminated. She intends to apply for a permanent job
as a director under the countys new system.
Proponents revved up
about natural gas fleets
A
merica has suffered economically dur-
ing the last several decades; jobs have
been lost and the Great Recession of
2008 is still rearing its ugly head. Much of
this has to do with manufacturing moving
offshore, the high cost of energy and sub-
stantial payments of U.S. dollars to foreign
countries for oil.
However, all of that is about to dramat-
ically change. Natural gas in the United
States is more accessible than ever and
available at approximately $2 per MBtu
compared to $15 per MBtu in Europe and
Asia. If there ever will be a tipping point in
the energy world, this should be consid-
ered.
Genetti Hotel and Conference Center,
along with the Borton-Lawson architecture
and engineering firm and the Wilkes-Barre
Chamber of Commerce, are doing our
parts by hosting an educational seminar
Friday on the benefits of converting vehi-
cles to compressed natural gas (CNG).
Industry leaders will be speaking on the
many benefits of CNG conversion and how
to execute the process. While this event is
by invitation only for fleet operators, we
would like to publicize that we believe its
time for all of us to support the use of all
types of natural gas vehicles.
One outstanding example of leadership
in this regard is the administrators of
Plains Township, who recently installed a
natural gas fueling station and purchased a
natural gas-powered refuse truck. True, it
is a tiny step toward energy sufficiency for
our country, but Plains Township is paying
the equivalent of less than $2 per gallon to
fuel the truck.
With the surging effort to become more
self-reliant in regard to energy, the United
States is on the fast-track to improving its
economy and reducing our dependency on
foreign oil, while substantially reducing
the outgoing U.S. dollars to foreign coun-
tries, many of whose governments do not
like us.
America is on the move! I cant wait to
see what the next few years will bring, but
this energy thing is big.
Now, if only Congress and the president
would adopt a sensible energy policy for
America. Is that too much to ask?

Montys life cherished
by longtime family friend
A
fter reading The Times Leaders article
about the late Monty Evans (Monty
recalled as one of a kind, April 24), I
am compelled to offer a somewhat differ-
ent and more personal perspective on his
life.
I met Monty more than 30 years ago
through my longtime friendship with his
son, Jim. My childhood memories of Mon-
tys twinkling eyes, engaging grin and
playful spirit are indelible. Even as I write,
at a time of sadness, I cannot help but
smile as I recall Montys irrepressible wit
and vitality.
The stories of Monty sporting old Holly-
wood fashions, presiding with style and
aplomb over local black-tie gatherings and
hosting parties at his popular Luzerne pub
are legion. But to reduce Montys life into
an assortment of vaudevillian anecdotes,
as the newspapers tribute did, misses the
mark.
To be sure, Monty was a masterful show-
man and an unrivaled emcee. I was too
young to ever watch him on a dais, though.
Rather, I saw his kind heart, warm smile
and infectious laugh on display in more
mundane moments in the living room of
his home with Jim and Joan, his wife, in
the family car on Sunday afternoon trips to
the movies and from his one-man cheering
section in the bleachers during our high
school track meets. These are the mo-
ments that shaped my affection for Monty.
Though I lost touch with Monty over
the last decade, I remain close friends with
Jim, who has inherited his fathers keen
sense of humor, easy charm and good
nature. For this I am thankful.
I also feel deeply fortunate to have
known Monty Evans as I did. I will reflect
fondly on my youthful memories of him
even as I try to emulate his zest for life in
adulthood.

Hold USPS responsible
for financial losses
I
am writing concerning the U.S. Postal
Service and its lack of accountability.
Is the post office doing anything to cut
back? The USPS projects a loss of $14
billion, yet continues to hand out bonuses.
Ask how many empty or near-empty
buildings that the post office is maintain-
ing. Ask for proof of the amount that was
saved by moving the Wilkes-Barre mail
processing facility to Scranton.
Considering the cost of gas, it makes no
sense to send our mail to Lehigh Valley,
have it sorted, then turn around and send
it back.
A recent commentary by Paul Golias,
retired managing editor of the Citizens
Voice, states the USPS management has
long been inept, arrogant and lacking
vision. I readily agree.
Isnt it about time for our elected offi-
cials to step up to the plate? It seems a
crime that an institution that has been
operating for more than 200 years is being
destroyed by the very people who have
been entrusted to support it.

As with many of the human service
agencies, it has become necessary to reach
out to our neighbors, the business and
medical communities, and our faithful
donors to come to our aid to continue the
work we do to build stronger communities
through stronger families.
Once again, we have been blessed with
the generosity of those same groups of

As we approach June 30 and the end of
our annual campaign, we ask that you
think about what would happen to the
families we serve if the association and the
many other agencies that serve our com-
munity were to suddenly cut back vital
programs and services. Where would these
loving families, these vulnerable children,
these senior members of society go for
help?
To those people who already have given

O MANY Republicans
want to repeal the Affor-
dableCareAct, derisive-
ly called Obamacare,
but fewhave a plan of their own
to replace it.
Theyd better think of some-
thing and fast.
While the GOP might not get
itswishtodismantlethemassive
health care overhaul, the Su-
preme Court, which is consider-
ing its constitutionality, might
strike downall or parts of the act
before this session ends.
Even Americans who arent
fans of the act agree something
hastobedoneabout theskyrock-
eting costs of health care and in-
surance, which are eating ever
larger portions of their incomes.
If not the Affordable Care Act,
then what?
A study released last week il-
lustrates just how out of control
the situation has gotten.
Researchers in California
found the cost to remove an ap-
pendix there varied wildly, rang-
ing from $1,500 to a staggering
$180,000. They used data hospi-
tals are requiredtosubmit tothe
state and, to get the fairest com-
parisons, only included similar,
uncomplicated cases in patients
ranging from18 to 59 years old.
Some of the disparities were
fromdifferences among patients
and where they were treated.
But there was no explanationfor
about one-thirdof the cost differ-
ences, according to The Associ-
ated Press, which reported on
the study.
Theresearchersandhealthex-
perts say the problem is not
unique to California.
The report notes the Afforda-
ble Care Act, even if it remains
intact, wouldhave little effect on
the disparities, although other
countrieshavedevelopedregula-
tions that prevent such sticker
shock.
Maybe the act isnt the answer
toall of whatswrongwithhealth
care.
But lost in the GOPs cries to
overturn Obamacare is any
credible solution for whats fast
becoming a crisis for working
American families.

TS BAD ENOUGH that
thousands of workplaces
statewide can legally get
aroundPennsylvanias ban
on indoor smoking. But an un-
told number of bars that dont
have exemptions are simply ig-
noring the law altogether, and
getting away with it.
Post-Gazette reporter Patri-
cia Sabatini didnt have any
trouble finding bars
that allow their cus-
tomers to light up in-
side, despite the
2008 Pennsylvania
Clean Indoor Air Act
that bans smoking
where people make a
living, including bars
and restaurants. She
saw patrons smoking in vari-
ous businesses in Allegheny
County, andshefoundthembe-
cause the establishments de-
scribe themselves as smoker-
friendly on websites.
Some have been fined in the
past for violating the law. Oth-
ers get around complying even
after theyve been rejected for
an exemption. Take the Moon-
lite Cafe inBrookline. The bar/
restaurant appliedfor anexcep-
tion in 2008, and it has been ap-
pealing its denial ever since.
The law allows smoking to go
on while appeals are pending,
which has put on hold 14 com-
plaints filed against it.
The fact that businesses can
defy the lawsoeasily is a conse-
quence of how broad the ex-
emptions are and how the ban
is enforced.
The exemptions are too ex-
tensive, given that the law was
intended to prevent workers
from being exposed to the
health hazards of secondhand
smoke. It creates two classes of
workers thosewhohaveasafe
workplace and
those who do not.
Because it faced
a tough battle be-
fore passage by
the Legislature,
the act was a com-
promise and does
not apply to half
the gambling floor
of casinos, some truck stops
and most tobacco shops and ci-
gar bars. In addition, bars can
get exemptions if food purchas-
es account for 20 percent or
less of overall sales and if no
one under 18 is admitted.
The best remedy would be a
change in the law to eliminate
nearly all of the exemptions,
but the prospects for that are
slimat best. Immediately there
shouldbea moreaggressiveap-
proach by the state Health De-
partment and the Bureau of Li-
quor Control Enforcement,
both of which have the power
to cite violators.

Students who sign the agree-
ment signaling their intention
to continue their education at
Wilkes will have a Wilkes advi-
sor while attending classes at
LCCC. The advisor will help
ensure that they register for ap-
propriate courses and will help
to facilitate their transition, ac-
cording to Wilkes University
Provost Reynold Verret.
Those students will be able
to take advantage of Wilkes
clubs, speakers, sports events,
and other co-curricular activ-
ities, giving them a head start
on becoming part of the Wilkes
community.
Wonderful opportunity
Dana Clark, dean of students
at LCCC, called the agreement
a wonderful opportunity for
students and one that offers
them the opportunity to move
forward.
Leary said the deal will
serve many people with many
different needs. He men-
tioned high school students,
single parents and people seek-
ing new careers.
Any concern the deal might
lead to more students consid-
ering Wilkes to enroll first at
LCCC as a less expensive op-
tion was brushed aside by Gil-
mour.
He said Wilkes already en-
rolls 140 transfer students a
year and he hopes to raise that
to 200.
Our feeling is this (students
starting at a two-year school
before transferring into a four-
year university) is increasingly
becoming the case, Gilmour
said.
A dual admissions agree-
ment between LCCC and Tem-
ple University in Philadelphia
went into effect this semester.
That arrangement differs in
some areas from the one with
Wilkes.
The Temple agreement al-
lows LCCC graduates to qual-
ify for $1,000 per year in schol-
arship aid, for up to three years,
if their grade-point average is
3.3 to 3.64. If their GPA is 3.65
or higher, the scholarship mon-
ey is $2,000 per year for up to
three years.
Students admitted to LCCC
may sign an agreement to enter
the dual admissions program
with Wilkes.
Students must have a mini-
mum of 12 credits but no more
than 30 credits earned at LCCC
in order to enroll in the dual
admissions program.
A grade-point average of 2.3
or better is also required.
The program will be available
to students admitted to LCCC for
the fall 2012 semester.
Students who do not enroll in
the dual admissions program by
the time they complete 30 cred-
its at LCCC may still transfer to
Wilkes when they complete their
degree. Those students can
enter Wilkes by following the
admissions process already in
place for transfer students with
a two-year degree.

Regner said she doesnt dis-
pute she owes the levee fee, and
she agrees she has to pay the

County election board mem-

dicated costly voting machine
software changes would be re-

lots in specific polling places, so
county officials decided to pro-
vide the bilingual option to all
voters.
The county also provided ab-
sentee ballots in Spanish, and a
newspaper legal advertisement
about a library referendumques-
tion in the Hazleton area was
published in both English and
Spanish.
County officials said they re-
ceived numerous inquiries and
some negative comments about
the bilingual option.
County Interim Election Bu-
reau Director Tom Pizano said
the bilingual ballots were dis-
cussedbefore he took over office
oversight but stressed county of-
ficials will review the law and
census data to ensure compli-
ance. Piazza, who could not be
reached for comment Wednes-
day, was terminated April 11.
Lehigh County experience
Lehigh County has provided
bilingual ballots since 2000, said
thecountyelectionboardsdepu-
ty chief clerk Terri Harkins.
The Spanish ballot choice is
offered to all voters because Le-
high has the same voting ma-
chines andsoftwareissues as Lu-
zerne County, she said.
Lehigh also is required to pro-
vide translators at polling places
that exceedthe 5 percent thresh-
old, she said.
The countys computerized
mapping department works
withthe electionoffice to review
census and county voter regis-
tration data to identify which
polling places should provide in-
terpreters, she said.
Translators were stationed at
96 of the countys 154 polling
places in the primary, she said.
Allentown, the county seat,
has about 90pollingplaces anda
Latino population of 35.9 per-
cent based on the latest census
figures, she said.
Bilingual county employees
also provide assistance to voters
who call the election office with
questions, she said.

rant interpreters. The county
has198 voting precincts, andthe
number receiving language as-

she said.
The county also employs a
full-timebilingual coordinator to
handle the preparation of Span-
ish election material and train-
ing of interpreters, Olivieri said.
Weve been very proactive,
she said.
Luzerne County officials have
stressed translators would be

Battoni and Soper agreed that
a $72 million deduction fromthe
fund would begin to push invest-
ments out of Pennsylvania and
into neighboring states.
The fund was created in the
gamingact of 2004, whichautho-
rized the placement of slot ma-
chines at horse racetracks and
yet-to-be-built casinos. The act
mandated slot revenue be used
for several purposes, such as
property tax relief, to which 34
percent is dedicated. The horse
racing industry, which was ex-
pected to lose gambling revenue
with the addition of slots, was to
receive 12 percent.
The $72 million deduction,
whichrepresents about a thirdof
the fund, comes on top of an al-
ready planned $47 million trans-
fer to the states General Fund.
Ed Kobesky, spokesman for
the Pennsylvania Harness
Horsemens Association, said
the most immediate impact
would be a reduction of purses
by a minimum of 30 percent.
Given that purse monies are
what owners use to pay trainers,
vets, blacksmiths, stable hands
and the like, a lot of people are
going to either lose their jobs or
see a dramatic loss of income. Its
difficult to say exactly howmany
people work in these capacities
here at Pocono alone, but a good
estimate is 1,000, Kobesky said,
estimating job loss statewide to
be between 10,000 and 15,000.
Investors get spooked
Kobesky predicts a long-term
effect would be distrust by po-
tential race horse industry inves-
tors. Its somewhat like creating
a KOEZ zone and telling busi-
ness owners they can count on
tax relief for 10 years, then turn-
ing around at year four and say-
ing, We changed our mind.
Without question it will stunt
growth.
If I were a track operator, Id
be very upset. Tracks like Mohe-
ganSunat PoconoDowns pay in-
to the (fund) with the expecta-
tion that their own monies will
be distributed back to help grow
the industry. Whats happening
here is totally contrary to the in-
tent of the legislation, he said.
State Sen. John Yudichak, in
whose district Pocono Downs is
located, saidthe fundhelpedcre-
ate thousands of good Pennsyl-
vania jobs, and it has made us a
national leader in the horse rac-
ing industry.
Job creation needs to be our
number one priority in Harris-
burg, so why is the administra-
tion taking $72 million away
from proven job creators in the
race horse and agriculture indus-
tries? said Yudichak, D-Ply-
mouth Township.

LEHMAN TWP. Making
changes to its health care plan
will not save the Lake-Lehman
School District from facing bud-

years, but it might keep district
cuts fromhittingthebone, Super-
intendent James McGovern said
Wednesday.
He spoke in an auditorium
packed with residents at a town

current budget woes.
The district is proposing to re-

sortium of 11 districts formed to
keep insurance costs low, in favor
of a self-funded plan that could
save about $1 million a year.
The district was recently de-

requires at least one-year notice
before a district can leave.
McGovernproposeda motionfor
the trust to change its bylaws so
the district can leave more quick-
ly. McGovern said the district
plans to continue to fight for the
health care changes.
The district is facing a $1.8 mil-
lion deficit for the 2012-13 school
year, even with raising property
taxes by 4.3 percent the most
the district could raise taxes
without the decision going to a
referendum vote.
The district has made drastic
cuts to its budget since Gov. Tom
Corbett unveiledthe state budget
last year, which cut nearly $1mil-
lion in revenues for the district.
Tom Melone, business manag-
er, said the current trend of de-
creasing revenues and increased
expenditures will nearly deplete
thedistricts fundbalance, akinto
a savings account, this year and
will leave the district $1.9 million
in the red by 2013-14.
Britt Trumbower, president of
Small Business Insurance Servic-
es Inc. in Bear Creek, said the
health care plan changes would
not affect employees out-of-
pocket expenses.
The plan, called a health reim-
bursement arrangement, would
lower the monthly costs of health
care while raising the deductible.
That money would go into a dis-
trict account, which would cover
doctors visits, prescription costs
and other expenses for employ-
ees, but would still result in an
overall savings for the district.
McGovern said if this action is
not taken before the budget is
passed in June, more drastic cuts
will need to be made, including
eliminating four to five elemen-
tary teachers by reducing class
sizes, restructuringmusic andart
by removing two positions, and
other measures that would save
only $1.39 million.
School Board President Mark
Koronoski said the district solic-
itor and other attorneys are look-
ing into the matter, and he said
the district will continue to pur-
sue this measure despite the
trusts denial.
He said the changes would
need to be made by June 1 be-
cause the district will need a
month to enroll in the newhealth
care plan, which will most likely
be under Blue Cross.
McGovern said if the district
fails to pass a budget for the com-
ing year, the state can come into
the district and make cuts to bal-
ance the budget.

NANTICOKE Council voted unanimous-
ly on Wednesday on a pair of ordinances to
modify the existingpolice andfirefighter pen-
sion fund boards.
Under the new ordinances, the two boards
will consist of the mayor, a current council
member appointed by the mayor, the police
and fire chiefs and two members of their de-
partments.
In other business, council announced that
Nanticoke will hold a citywide yard sale on
Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a rain
date on Sunday. I
Interested parties may stop by Anthracite
Park beginning at 8 a.m. Saturday to pick upa
list of residents who plan to participate in the
sale.
Steven Fondo
Nanticoke modifies
pension fund boards
was finallyachievedafter more than12min-
utes. The record price includes the auction
houses fee.
Sothebys said the pastel-on-board ver-
sion of The Scream is the most colorful
and vibrant of the four and the only version
whose frame was hand-paintedby the artist
to include his poem, detailing the works in-
spiration.
In the poem, Munch described himself
shivering with anxiety and said he felt
the great scream in nature.
Norwegian businessman Petter Olsen,
whose father was a friend and patron of the
artist, said he sold the piece through Sothe-
bys because he felt the moment has come
to offer the rest of the world the chance to
own and appreciate this remarkable work.
I have lived with this work all my life,
and its power and energy have only in-
creased with time, Olsen said.
Proceeds fromthe sale will go towardthe
establishment of a newmuseum, art center
and hotel in Hvitsten, Norway, where Ol-
sens father and Munch were neighbors.
The director of the National Museum in
Oslo, Audun Eckhoff, says Norwegian au-
thorities approvedtheMunchsalesincethe
other versions of the composition are in
Norwegian museums. One version is own-
ed by the National Museumand two others
by the Munch Museum, also in Oslo.
Frahm had predicted the sale would
break a record.
A total of nine works now have sold for
$80millionor moreat auction, accordingto
Sothebys.
Besides The Scream and Picassos
Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust, only two
other works have sold for more than $100
millionat auction. Those are Picassos Boy
With a Pipe (The Young Apprentice) for
$104.1 million in 2004 and Alberto Giaco-
mettis Walking Man I for $104.3 million
in 2010.

TO SAY
THE young
swimmer was
scared stand-
ing at the
edge of a pool
of troubled
waters would
be understating things.
She was afraid her life would
change, if not end. Terrified to
tell others her secret. Fright-
ened about jumping back into
sports.
She was starting her senior
year at Wyoming Area High
School in September and Lau-
ren Frisbie worried her dreams
may be ending.
Because she had just been
diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
It was hard, the daughter of
Gary and Judy Frisbie of West
Pittston. I was 17 years old. I
didnt know what to think of
it.
She soon had a lot more to
think about.
Just days after Laurens own
cancer surgery, her mother
Judy was diagnosed with breast
cancer.
Youre scared, number one,
Gary Frisbie said.
Could life get any more diffi-
cult any quicker for a high
school kid?
Its my senior year. This is
supposed to be the best year of
my life, Lauren Frisbie said.
It was one of the hardest and
toughest for me.
She never buckled under the
tremendous weight of worry.
Mainly because Lauren Frisbie
never gave in to fear.
She was honored Wednesday
during a UNICO dinner meet-
ing with the Brian Piccolo
Award, which is named after
the former Chicago Bears run-
ning back who courageously
battled cancer before dying at
the age of 26.
Judy Frisbie, who remembers
growing up watching Piccolos
plight famously told, and often
replayed, in a 1971 television
movie called Brians Song,
feels her daughter was an ideal
recipient of an award that re-
flects such bravery.
Lauren Frisbie never saw the
movie, but she knows Piccolos
story, and sees a lot of simi-
larities between his battle and
her own.
Our stories are kind of simi-
lar, said Lauren Frisbie, who is
Wyoming Area senior finds spirit to keep on competing

ROCHESTER, N.Y. A stint on the
disabled list may have been just what
Manny Banuelos needed.
The top prospect for New York, ac-
cording to MLB.com, was activated
fromthe DLon Wednesday after back is-
sues sidelined him for
19 days and pitched 3
2
3
innings after reaching
60 pitches, but he
showed vast improve-
ment from his previous
outings.
The left-hander only
allowed two hits, strik-
ing out five and didnt
walk any batters for the
first time this season as
he ledScranton/Wilkes
Barre to a fifth straight
win on Wednesday, a
2-1victory over Roches-
ter at Frontier Field.
SWB moved four
games over .500 for the
first time this season
with a record of 14-10 and the Yankees
have nowwon10of their last12games to
move within a half game of first place

Hoping to close the book on
bounties, the NFL suspended
New Orleans Saints defensive
captain Jonathan Vilma without
pay for all of
next season
Wednesday and
gave shorter
bans to three
other players
for their lead-
ing roles in the
teams cash-for-
hits systemthat
knocked key
opponents out
of games from
2009-11.
Defensive li-
neman Antho-
ny Hargrove,
now with the
Green Bay
Packers, was
suspended for
the first half of
the 16-game
season; Saints
defensive end
Will Smith was
barred for the
opening four
games; and li-
nebacker Scott
Fujita, now
with the Cleve-
land Browns,
will miss the
first three
games of 2012.
Like Vilma,
they were suspended without
pay, costing each hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
The league said its investiga-
tion showed a significant num-
ber of players participated in the
bounties by ponying up cash
or collecting it but noted that
the players disciplined partici-
pated at a different and more sig-
nificant level. Add the losses of
Vilma and Smith to the previous-
ly announced suspension of head
coach Sean Payton for all of 2012,
along with shorter penalties for

and assistant coach Joe Vitt, and

OCEANSIDE, Calif. Junior Seau,
a homegrown superstar who was the fist-
pumping, emotional leader of the San
Diego Chargers for 13 years, was found
shot to death at his home Wednesday
morning in what police said appeared to
be a suicide. He was 43.
Police Chief Frank McCoy said Seaus
girlfriend reported finding him uncon-
scious with a gunshot wound to the
chest and lifesaving efforts were unsuc-
cessful. A gun was found near him,
McCoy said. Police said no suicide note
was found and they didnt immediately
know who the gun was registered to.
Seaus death in Oceanside, in north-
ern San Diego County, stunned the re-
gion he represented with almost reck-
less abandon. The same intensity that
got the star linebacker ejected for fight-
ing in his first exhibition game helped
carry the Chargers to their only Super
Bowl, following the1994 season. Afero-

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland It
was ataleof twoverydifferent teams in
St. Johns Wednesday night for Game 2
of the AHL Eastern Conference semi-
finals, with a happy ending in store for
the visiting Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins.
Joey Morminas shorthanded goal
early in the third period proved to be
the winner as the Penguins skated
away with a 3-1 win over the St. Johns
IceCaps to even their best-of-seven
playoff series at a game apiece.
The series shifts to Wilkes-Barre
Township for Games 3, 4 and 5 on Sat-
urday, Sunday and Tuesday.
Tuesday nights series-opener also
finished in a 3-1 score, but it was the
IceCaps who came out on top in that
one, outshooting the Pens 37-20.
On Wednesday, before 6,287 fans at
Mile One Centre, it was the Penguins
who took the play to the IceCaps, in-
dicative of a shot count of 38-23 in fa-
vor of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Infact, the visitors were outshooting
their hosts 10-0 13 minutes into the
game.
We played with a little more urgen-
cy in our game, Penguins coach John
Hynes said. We hadmore performanc-
es throughout the lineup. Last night,
we didnt have as manyguys whoreally
came to play they way they needed to.
That was really the difference. Not
so much how we played, but the fact
more guys showed up.
Eric Tangradi and Jason Williams al-
so scored for the Penguins. It was Wil-
liams second goal and 10th point in
seven playoff games.

HONOR FOR GARS SOTO
G
AR football standout Shakir Soto was officially nomi-
nated Wednesday for the 2013 U.S. Army All-American
Bowl, a game for 90 of the top players in the country
played annually in San Antonio. The game is set for Jan. 5,
2013, and will be televised live by NBC. Soto, a defensive
end who recently made a verbal commitment to the Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh, was one of 400 players nominated.
Since the games inception in 2001, two Wyoming Valley
Conference players have participated Wyoming Valley
Wests Brian Mattes in 2002 and Williamsports Darrell
Blackman in 2003. Pictured is Soto shaking hands with Sgt.
Christian Salazar during the announcement in the GAR
High School library.
now symptom-free but must re-
main on medication and undergo
check-ups for the rest of her life.
We always found the courage,
kept trying and pushing our-
selves to make sure we succeed.
First, though, she needed a
push.
A three-time district qualifier
in swimming, Frisbie was hesi-
tant to jump back in the pool
while dealing with the aftermath
of her cancer surgery and trying
to help in her mothers battle
with devastating illness.
Just going through all that, I
kind of just wanted to stop, Lau-
ren Frisbie said. Swimming is a
very hard sport, two hours (of
practice) every day. I just didnt
know if it was a good idea.
It turned out to be great ther-
apy for her.
She received plenty of encour-
agement and support from
Wyoming Areas coaching staff,
but ultimately, Frisbie had to de-
cide.
Sink or swim?
The day they cleared me to go
back in the pool, I went back in,
Frisbie said.
She wound up helping lead the
Warriors swim team through a
rough regular season where vic-
tories were hard to come by, and
made the District 2 champion-
ships in the girls 50-yard frees-
tyleandas part of the200and400
freestyle relay teams for a
fourth straight season.
Frisbie didnt capture anything
there, except a big smile.
She came into the 50 free seed-
ed 14th and finished ninth, with
the best time of her career of 1:06.
And she helped the relay teams
swim the best times of their sea-
son.
I wasnt in the best of shape,
after not swimming for the previ-
ous three months, Frisbie said.
I dont know what got into me.
Maybe the spirit of a survivor
who wont let herself lose, no
matter how bad the news.

YANKEES
Ben Maxwell had the lone goal
for St. Johns.
Just as they did Tuesday, the
Penguins struck first Wednesday
as Tangradi scored his second of
the playoffs at 9:48 with defense-
man Alex Grant drawing the as-
sist.
Maxwell tied things up at the
15:42 mark, redirecting a Derek
Meech shot past Brad Thiessen
with the Penguins Grant off for
unsportsmanlike conduct.
That set the stage for Mormi-
nas heroics in the third. With
Tangradi off for hooking, the Pen-
guins Cal OReillygainedposses-
sion of the puck deep in the St.
Johns zone and Mormina moved
in from his blueline position to
one-time anOReilly pass past St.
Johns goaltender Eddie Pas-
quale.
We wanted to be way more ag-
gressive tonight, said Mormina,
a 29-year-old product of Mon-
treal.
We did a really good job of set-
ting the pace. On the (dressing
room bulletin) board today there
wasnt much written down, just
get a split in St. Johns.
Williams added an insurance
marker two minutes and 20 sec-
onds later.
In that first game (Tuesday),
said Hynes, we had four
Grade-Achances. I think if youre
a player, you take that to heart.
We didnt have consistent per-
formances. We had spotted per-
formances. It was different to-
night, and to me, the difference
was the players preparation and
their performance.

of head injuries.
If Goodell aims to move on
from the bounty case, the NFL
Players Association might not let
him: The suspended players have
three days to appeal, and NFLPA
head DeMaurice Smith said the
union would fight the ruling. Fuj-
ita is a member of the NFLPAs
executive committee who has
spoken out in the past about the
need for the league to do a better
job of protecting players.
Through his agent, Vilma is-
sued a statement saying he is
shocked and extremely disap-
pointed by the punishment and
denying he was a bounty ring-
leader.
I never set out to intentionally
hurt any player andnever enticed
any teammate to intentionally
hurt another player. I also never
put any money intoa bounty pool
or helped to create a bounty pool
intended to pay out money for in-
juring other players, Vilma said.
He added: I intend to fight this
injustice, to defend my reputa-
tion, to stand up for my teamand
myprofession, andtosendaclear
signal to the Commissioner that
the process has failed, to the det-
riment of me, my teammates, the
New Orleans Saints and the
game.
Will Smith also denied a role in
the bounties.
I have never in my career, nor
as a captain asked others, to in-
tentionally target andhurt specif-
ic opposing players. I was in no
way involved in establishing ... a
bounty program. The accusa-
tions made against me are com-
pletely and one-hundred percent
false, and I plan to appeal, he
said via statement sent by his
publicist. Through this entire
process, the NFL never notified
me of what I was being accused
of, nor presentedmewithanyevi-
dence or reasoning for this deci-
sion. I am interested in discover-
ing who is making these specific
and false accusations, and as well
as why a decisionwas made with-
out speaking with me and giving
me the opportunity to reviewthe
facts.
DeMaurice Smith said the
union has still not received any
detailed or specific evidence
from the league of these specific
players involvement in an al-
leged pay-to-injure program. We
have made it clear that puni-
shment without evidence is not
fair. We have spoken with our
players and their representatives
and we will vigorously protect
and pursue all options on their
behalf.
The league said no player
agreed to be interviewed in per-
son and the NFLPAdid not share
information from its own investi-
gation.
According to the NFL, its in-
vestigation determined the
Saints ran a bounty system for
three seasons, with thousands of
dollars offered for big hits that
sidelined opponents.
BOUNTIES
Continued from Page 1B
myself a celebrity, OBrien told
The Times Leader on Wednes-
day, calling from aboard the cus-
tom bus that has become the
base of operations for Penn
States Coaches Caravan. Im
just thrilled to be the coach here,
and part of that is getting out on
the road like this and meeting
people.
Its a big change from his days
with the New England Patriots.
Even as the offensive coordina-
tor of one of footballs most suc-
cessful and visible franchises,
OBrien said he wouldnt often
be recognized out in public
around Boston.
Thats going to change now.
Even more so after the next few
weeks as OBrien and several
other Penn State coaches hit 18
cities throughout the region.
The caravan stopped at Rich-
mond, Va., and Harrisburg on
Wednesday to close out the first
week of the tour. The second leg
begins Tuesday with OBriens
first visit to Luzerne County an
11:30 a.m. luncheon at Penn
State Hazleton along with wom-
ens basketball coach Coquese
Washington and mens golf
coach Greg Nye.
OBrien will also be at Genet-
tis in Dickson City at 6:30 p.m.
on May 10 as the featured speak-
er for the annual fundraising din-
ner held by the Scranton chapter
of the Penn State Alumni Associ-
ation, an event frequented in the
past by Joe Paterno.
Those interested in attending
can register online at alum-
ni.psu.edu/coachescaravan.
When I was hired, it was im-
portant to me to get out after
spring practice and meet and
greet in different areas with so
many alums, so many fans and
such a recognized fan base,
OBrien said. That was some-
thing very important. It wasnt
my idea to put this bus together,
but theytookthoughts I hadonit
and we went from there.
In addition to fans and alumni,
OBrien and his staff have also
had to win over recruits and the
players currently on the roster.
Despite the overhaul in the
coaching staff and the fallout
from the Jerry Sandusky scan-
dal, OBrien said he has not had
any players discuss transferring.
The guys are all taking their
final exams this week, but noone
has come to see me so far (about
leaving), said OBrien, who sat
down with players individually
at the end of spring practice to
discuss their roles on the team
going forward.
That includes the quarter-
backs, who have understandably
been a favorite topic for fans dur-
ing the first week of the caravan.
Though the public has only
seen a bit of the three-way com-
petition between Matt McGloin,
Rob Bolden and Paul Jones,
OBrien said spring ball gave the
coaching staff some clarity on
the position.
Yeah, Ive been asked a lot
about that one, OBrien said.
Well get together in a few
weeks when we get back off the
road and talk about it. We have a
pretty good idea of where were
at there.
McGloin certainly figures to
be a topic of conversation during
the swing through NEPA. The
West Scranton grad joked after
the Blue-White Game that he
was waiting to get a better grasp
on the offense before he started
jawing back and forth with his
new coach.
Oh yeah, we have a good rela-
tionship, Matty and I two Irish-
men, OBrien said. Hes a com-
petitive guy, a tough guy, a smart
guy. Hes a lot of fun to be
around.
Hecommunicates well. Hes a
tough, scrappy kid. I just want
him to do a great job in training
camp and play within himself. If
he does that, he has a heck of a
shot at playing.
NOTES
OBrien said defensive tack-
le Evan Hailes will end his play-
ing career because of issues with
blood clots. He will stay with the
teamand remain on scholarship,
though he will not count toward
the 85-scholarship limit.
Defensive end Kyle Baublitz is
a candidate to move inside to
help with depth at tackle.
Linebacker Khairi Fortt,
who missed much of the spring
with a knee injury, is expected to
be full-go for preseason camp in
the summer.
OBrien said he did not have
an official word on linebackers
Jamie Van Fleet and T.J. Rhatti-
gan, both of whom suffered seri-
ous knee injuries.
Gameday operations for the
new coaching staff are in place.
OBrien said the setup used dur-
ing the Blue-White Game six
assistants on the sideline and
three in the booth will carry
over to the regular season.
John Butler (secondary),
Charlie Fisher (quarterbacks),
Stan Hixon (receivers), Larry
Johnson (defensive line), Mac
McWhorter (offensive line) and
Ted Roof (defensive coordina-
tor) will joinOBrienonthe field.
Charles London (running
backs), John Strollo (tight ends)
and Ron Vanderlinden (lineback-
ers) will be upstairs.
After arriving at his caravan
stop outside of Harrisburg,
OBrien learned of the death of
former NFL All-Pro linebacker
Junior Seau, who played for the
Patriots in three of OBriens sea-
sons on staff there.
He and I are the same age,
and we used to bust each others
chops about that, OBrien told
The Patriot-News. He was a
great football player and a great
teammate.
ROAD
entering the fourth.
Indiana had its way both
inside and out, shooting 47
percent for the game (37 for
79) and holding a 42-22 edge on
points in the paint.
Spurs 114, Jazz 83
SAN ANTONIO Tony
Parker scored 18 points and the
San Antonio Spurs handed
Utah its second-worst playoff
loss in franchise history, beat-
ing the Jazz 114-83 on Wednes-
day night to take a 2-0 lead in
the first-round series.
NBA Coach of the Year Gregg
Popovich practically put the
Spurs on autopilot after a 20-0
run in the second quarter that
stunned the Jazz, who had
vowed to play better after the
Spurs easily won Game 1. But
this humiliating rout was even
easier.
The Jazz never quite greeted
Parker with the hard fouls the
All-Star was supposed to have
coming, and the Utah front-
court of Al Jefferson and Paul
Millsap wasnt any more impos-
ing on offense.
Jefferson scored 10 points,
and Millsap had nine.
Game 3 is Saturday night in
Salt Lake City.
ORLANDO, Fla. Danny
Granger had 26 points and nine
rebounds, Roy Hibbert added
18 points and 10 rebounds, and
the Indiana Pacers beat the
Orlando Magic 97-74 on
Wednesday night to a take a 2-1
lead in the first-round series.
The Pacers regained home-
court advantage with the victo-
ry, riding good shooting early
and building a 29-point lead in
the fourth quarter.
They also dominated scoring
underneath thanks to a 46-33
rebounding edge and have
outscored the Magic 81-43 in
the third quarter in the series.
Glen Davis led the Magic
with 22 points, and J.J. Redick
added 13. The Magic never led,
struggled to get any scoring in
the paint, and made a series-
low five 3-pointers.
Game 4 is Saturday in Orlan-
do.
Indiana coach Frank Vogels
implored the Pacers after each
of the first two games to make
better shot selections.
They finally did it in Game 3.
It translated into their best
shooting of the series as the
Pacers built a 23-point lead in
the third quarter and led 76-55

NEWARK, N.J. After Phila-
delphia rolled over Pittsburgh in
the openingroundof the playoffs,
there was a perception that the
Flyers would be the team to beat
in the Eastern Conference.
Deep. Driven. Determined.
You name it.
Getting by New Jersey in the
second round seemingly was a
given, especially after the No. 6
seed Devils needed seven games
to knock off Florida of all teams.
Well, its time torevise that per-
ception. Because, with Game 3
on tap Thursday at the Pruden-
tial Center, this series is tied, 1-1.
The Devils not only showed
they could play with the No. 5
Flyers in splitting the first two
games in Philadelphia; they
could easily be leading 2-0 in the
best-of-7 series. They lost Game1
in overtime, 4-3, and dominated
Game 2, 4-1, on Tuesday despite
playing without leading scorer
Ilya Kovalchuk.
I think there is a pressure with
being a favorite in a series, Dev-
ils coach Peter DeBoer said
Wednesday. We felt that in the
Florida series, and I dont think
there is any doubt that it is on
Philadelphia. That is something
that isnt easy to deal with, when
you are supposed to win and, not
only win, but win convincingly.
The Devils clearly outworked
the Flyers in Game 2. They out-
shot Philadelphia 35-20 and only
outstanding goaltending by Ilya
Bryzgalov allowed the home
team to lead after two periods.
But NewJersey blewthe game
open with four goals in the third
as the Devils took home-ice ad-
vantage back to New Jersey.
A veteran of three Stanley Cup
teams, Devils goalie Martin Bro-
deur said not to make too much
of changing perceptions.
You cant get overwhelmed by
one win, the 39-year-old Bro-
deur said after the Devils held a
team meeting. People always
look at that. Thats (why) the
mood swings are important. You
have to be leveledoff about them.
You feel so good about yourself
that sometimes you slack off a
bit. We cant get caught up. We
played well, but we expect the
Flyers to come a lot harder to-
morrow and do what they do.

NEW YORK Jake Arrieta
pitched eight innings of five-hit
ball Wednesday night, and the
Baltimore Orioles ended Ivan
Novas 15-game winning streak
with a 5-0 victory over the New
York Yankees.
Matt Wieters homered and
hit an RBI double, Nick Marka-
kis also connected and Balti-
more earned a rare series win
in New York with a team pitch-
ing effort not seen since the
days of Jim Palmer and Mike
Flanagan.
The Orioles lost the first
game of the series 2-1 and won
the middle game 7-1. With
Arrietas effort, the Orioles
held the Yankees to two runs
or fewer in three straight
games in the Bronx for the first
time since 1978.
Rays 5, Mariners 4
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Sean Rodriguez and Luke Scott
homered for Tampa Bay, help-
ing Rays right-hander James
Shields become the ALs first
five-game winner with a victo-
ry over the Mariners.
Shields (5-0) allowed four
runs and five hits, walked four
and struck out 11 over six in-
nings to win his sixth straight
decision over two seasons.
Kyle Seager homered twice off
the 2011 All-Star, driving in all
of Seattles runs.
Athletics 4, Red Sox 2
BOSTON Brandon
McCarthy beat an AL East
opponent once again, holding
Boston to one run over 6

including a bases-loaded triple
in a six-run fourth, as the Blue
Jays took two of three from the
AL West-leading Rangers.
Royals 3, Tigers 2
DETROIT Chris Getzs
infield single in the ninth in-
ning put Kansas City ahead,
and the Royals held on to beat
Detroit.
Indians 6, White Sox 3

WASHINGTON Bryce
Harper made a tumbling bare-
handed catch in centerfield and
then led off the ninth inning
with a double to set the stage
for Ian Desmonds two-out
game-ending home run that
gave the Washington Nationals
a 5-4 victory over the visiting
Arizona Diamondbacks on
Wednesday night.
In the sixth inning, Harper
fell down in the right-center
gap while attempting to catch
a fly ball off Jason Kubels bat.
As he landed in the grass,
Harper secured the ball in his
ungloved right hand.
Braves 15, Phillies 13, 11 innings
ATLANTA Chipper Jones
hit a two-run homer in the 11th
inning and the Atlanta Braves
overcame Carlos Ruizs seven
RBIs to outlast the Philadel-
phia Phillies 15-13 on Wednes-
day night.
The seesaw game saw the
Braves rally from a 6-0 deficit
against Roy Halladay, then
come back from four runs
down in the eighth.
Dan Uggla led off the Atlanta
11th with a single. Jones just
missed a homer on a ball that
landed barely foul to right,
then connected against Brian
Sanches (0-1).
Astros 8, Mets 1
HOUSTON Chris John-
son had four hits, homered
twice and drove in a career-
high six runs to back up anoth-
er solid outing by Wandy Ro-
driguez, and Houston beat
New York to complete a three-
game sweep.
The win gave Houston its
first series sweep of the season
and first series win since the
opening three games.
Cubs 3, Reds 1
CINCINNATI Bryan La-
Hair and Ian Stewart hit solo
homers a major outburst for
power-challenged Chicago
and Jeff Samardzija pitched
into the eighth inning for a
victory over Cincinnati.
The Cubs opened the rain-
shortened series with only
their third multihomer game of
the season. They managed
only nine home runs in April,
the fewest in the majors. La-
Hairs shot off Bronson Arroyo
(1-1) gave him six overall.
Padres 5, Brewers 0
SAN DIEGO Jeff Suppan
pitched five solid innings to
win his first game since 2010,
leading San Diego over Mil-
waukee.
Suppan, called up from Tri-
ple-A Tucson to start in place
of the injured Cory Luebke,
had not pitched or won in the
majors since Oct. 3, 2010. The
37-year-old Suppan limited the
Brewers to four singles, walked
two and struck out two as he
combined with three relievers
for the shutout.
Rockies 8, Dodgers 5
DENVER Pinch hitter
Jason Giambi launched a three-
run homer off Scott Elbert in
the ninth inning, lifting Col-
orado to a win over Los An-
geles.

WASHINGTON With two
short answers, Andy Pettitte
called into question the validity
of his testimony against Roger
Clemens, part of a discouraging
day for prosecutors in the retrial
of the seven-time Cy Young
Award winner.
After stumbling its way to a
mistrial of Clemens last year, the
government is struggling again
in the retrial to the point that
the crux of Pettittes testimony
might be tossed out. First, the ex-
asperated judge criticized the
questioning of Pettitte on
Wednesday, thenheruledagainst
prosecutors inanother matter. Fi-
nally he cried out: Youre taking
positions that are totally absurd
to me.
Pettitte, Clemens longtime
friendandformer teammate, was
on the stand for a second day in
the trial that is to determine
whether Clemens lied at a 2008
congressional deposition and
hearing when he denied taking
steroids and human growth hor-
mone.
During cross-examination,
Clemens lawyers got exactly the
answers they wanted.
Might Pettitte have misunder-
stood when Clemens supposedly
acknowledged using human
growth hormone to Pettitte in a
conversation during the 1999-
2000 offseason?
I could have, Pettitte answer-
ed.
Is it fair to say there is a 50-50
chance that Pettitte misunder-
stood?
Id say thats fair, Pettitte re-
plied.
The government tried to sal-
vage their witness, but prosecu-
tor Steven Durhams follow-up
questions were lacking at least
in the minds of Clemens lawyers
and, more importantly, U.S. Dis-
trict Judge Reggie Walton. Clem-
ens lawyers moved to strike Pet-
tittes testimony about the 1999-
2000 conversation as insuffi-
ciently definitive.
The judge seemed to agree,
openly wondering why Pettitte
wasnt asked for a current, defin-
itive recollection of the conversa-
tion. He repeatedly berated Dur-
ham, who was also part of the
government team last July when
prosecutors showed the jury a
snippet of inadmissible video-
taped evidence, prompting the
mistrial.
I was waiting for you to ask,
and you didnt ask that, Walton
said.
Durham tried to contend that
he addressed the matter in a dif-
ferent way. The defense will file a
brief in support of its position,
and Walton could rule on Pet-
tittes testimony as early as today.
During his first day on the
stand Tuesday, Pettitte recalled
the crucial conversation, which
tookplace at Clemens home dur-
ing a workout, as: Roger had
mentioned to me that he had tak-
en HGH.
Pettittes testimony as a re-
luctant witness with no ulterior
motive is considered vital for
theprosecutions case, whichoth-
erwise relies heavily on Brian
McNamee, a former strength
coach for both Pettitte and Clem-
ens who says he injected Clem-
ens with steroids and human
growth hormone.

Pettittes testimony in question
Cross-examination could lead

Former MLB pitcher Andy Pettitte leaves the courthouse in Wash-
ington on Wednesday after testifying in Roger Clemens trial.
carrier or quarterback.
Its a sad thing. Its hard to un-
derstand, said Bobby Beathard,
who as Chargers general manag-
er took Seau out of Southern Cal-
ifornia with the fifth pick overall
in the 1990 draft. He was really
just a great guy. If you drew up a
player youd love to have the op-
portunity todraft andhave onthe
team and as a teammate, Junior
andRodney (Harrison), theydbe
the kind of guys youd like to
have.
Quarterback Stan Humphries
recalled that Seau did everything
at the same speed, whether it was
practicing, lifting weights or ha-
rassing John Elway.
The intensity, the smile, the
infectious attitude, it carriedover
to all the other guys, said Hum-
phries, who was shocked that
Seau is now the eighth player
from the 94 Super Bowl team to
die.
Seaus mother appeared before
reporters outside the former
players house, weeping uncon-
trollably.
I dont understand ... Im
shocked, Luisa Seau cried out.
Her son gave no indication of a
problem when she spoke to him
by phone earlier this week, she
said.
Hes joking to me, he called
me a homegirl, she said.
Seaus death follows the sui-
cide last year of former Chicago
Bears player Dave Duerson, who
also shot himself in the chest.
InOctober 2010, Seausurvived
a 100-foot plunge down a seaside
cliff inhis SUV, hours after he was
arrested for investigation of do-
mestic violence at the Oceanside
home he shared with his girl-
friend. The woman had told au-
thorities that Seau assaulted her
during an argument.
There was no evidence of
drugs or alcohol involved in the
crash and Seau told authorities
he fell asleep while driving. He
sustained minor injuries.
I just cant imagine this, be-
cause Ive never seen Junior in a
down frame of mind, Beathard
said. He was always so upbeat
and he would keep people up. He
practiced the way he played. He
made practice fun. He was a
coachs dream. He was an amaz-
ing guy as well as a player and a
person. This is hard to believe.
Seaus ex-wife, Gina, told the
Union-Tribune San Diego that he
texted her and each of their three
children separate messages: I
love you.
Were all in shock, she said.
Were beyond sad and beyond
shocked. The kids and I are just
huddled together at home. There
is no way to make sense of this.
Seau, who played in the NFL
for parts of 20 seasons, is the
eighth member of San Diegos
lone Super Bowl team who has
died, all before the age of 45. Lew
Bush, Shawn Lee, David Griggs,
RodneyCulver, DougMiller, Cur-
tis Whitley and Chris Mims are
the others.
Seaus also is among a few re-
cent, unexpected deaths of NFL
veterans.
Duersons family has filed a
wrongful death suit against the
NFL, claiming the league didnt
do enough to prevent or treat
concussions that severely dam-
aged Duersons brain before he
died in in February 2011.
Former Atlanta Falcons safety
Ray Easterling, whohadjoinedin
a concussion-related lawsuit
against the league one of doz-
ens filed in the last year died
last month at age 62. His wife has
said he suffered from depression
and dementia after taking years
of hits.
Seau, however, is not known to
have been a plaintiff in the con-
cussion litigation.
When Humphries joined the
Chargers in a 1992 trade, he said
it was obvious Seau was the per-
sonwho hadthe most energy, the
most excited, the guy who tried
to rally everybody. Humphries
said Seau brought out a lot of
youngness in older players.
He also helped younger play-
ers.
So sad to hear about Jr Seau,
tweeted New Orleans Saints
quarterback Drew Brees, who
was with San Diego from 2001-
05. Junebug. Buddy. The great-
est teammate a young guy could
ask for. This is a sad day. He will
be missed greatly.
Seau called many of those
around himBuddy. He often re-
ferred to teammates as my play-
ers.
Seau was voted to a Chargers-
record 12 straight Pro Bowls and
was an All-Pro six times.
We all lost a friend today,
Chargers President Dean Spanos
said in a statement. This is just
such a tragic loss. One of the
worst things I could ever imag-
ine.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Bodemeister
has been made the early 4-1 favorite for
the Kentucky Derby, with Union Rags
the second choice in a full field of 20
horses.
Trained by three-time Derby winner
Bob Baffert, Bodemeister drewthe No.
6 post on Wednesday. Six horses have
won from that position, the last being
Sea Hero in 1993.
Bodemeister is the stronger of Baff-
erts two horses, having won the Arkan-
sas Derby by 9 1-2 lengths in the most
dominating performance among the
Derby prep races. His other, Liaison,
landed in the No. 20 spot for Saturdays
race.
Its the third time the Hall of Fame
trainer has hadthe early Derby favorite.
The first two times didnt work out.
Lookin At Lucky drew the dreaded
insidepost in2010andfinishedsixth. In
2001, Point Given was the heavy favor-
ite and wound up fifth. He went on to
win the Preakness and Belmont stakes,
the final two legs of the Triple Crown.
Union Rags drew the No. 4 post and
was listed at 9-2 on the morning line set
by Churchill Downs oddsmaker Mike
Battaglia. He is trained by Michael
Matz, who won the Derby in 2006 with
Barbaro only to have the colt stunning-
ly break down after the start of the
Preakness.
Gemologist was the third choice at
6-1and drewthe No. 15 post. The unde-
featedcolt is one of twotrainedby Todd
Pletcher, who won his first Derby in
2010withSuper Saver. The other, El Pa-
drino, will be in the next stall toward
the outside as one of two 20-1 shots.
Blue Grass winner Dullahan was the
8-1fourth choice. He got the No. 5 post,
drawing the loudest cheers from his
connections.
The No. 1 and No. 14 posts remained
open until there were just two spots left
in the starting gate, leaving the connec-
tions of speedy Hansen and Daddy
LongLegs insuspense. UAEDerbywin-
ner Daddy Long Legs got the inside
stall, while 10-1 shot Hansen dodged a
bullet and landed the No. 14 slot.
Hansen and Daddy Long Legs have
the most graded stakes earnings in the
field. Hansen leads the list with more
than $1.5 million, while Daddy Long
Legs has $1.2 million.
Optimizer is the record 45th Derby
starter for trainer D. Wayne Lukas, a
four-time winner of the race. The colt
will breakfromthe No. 2post andis one
of five 50-1 shots. He got into the field
when Mark Valeski was withdrawn
from consideration Tuesday.
The 21st horse on the earnings list is
My Adonis, who would need a defec-
tion before 9 a.m. Friday to enter.

NEW YORK Eli Manning sensed
his brothers shadoweven as a comedic
actor.
Saturday Night Live producers in-
vited the New York Giants quarterback
tohost after he wonhis first Super Bowl
in 2008.
One of the many reasons he declined
was that Peyton Manning had hosted
the show a year earlier after his own
championship.
Peyton had done so well the previ-
ous year, I thought it might be a little
fresh in everyones minds, Eli said
Wednesday. I did not want to have to
go up against a tough competition and
the great job that he performed.
Manning recalled he sent word back
that perhaps hedhost if he wonanother
title.
Sure enough, he saidyes after his sec-
ond ring and will star in the late-night
sketches this Saturday.
I had not proven myself as much as I
wanted to, he said of that initial offer
four years ago.
Manning and SNL chief Lorne Mi-
chaels took part in a conference call
Wednesday, hours before the quarter-
back would start acting out 40-45 skits
to whittle down to 12 or 13 to be poten-
tiallyperformedinfront of that livetele-
vision audience.
He made the short trip into Manhat-
tanfromHoboken, N.J., onMondayand
Tuesday afternoon to
meet withwriters and
cast members at
NBCs Rockefeller
Center studios.
Wednesday after-
noon would be the
first time Manning
sawthe scripts andre-
hearsed, and he was eager to get going.
He sat in the audience, laughing
along, when Peyton hosted in 2007, an
episode that included a memorable
sketch lampooning the NFLs United
Way commercials.
Eli sought his brothers advice before
accepting his own invitation.
Peyton told him: The one thing you
are used to doing is live thats some-
thing you do every week during the
football season.
We know how Eli reacts both under
pressure and also with changing things
quickly, Michaels said.
I dont think were making any other
kinds of concession because its an ath-
lete over an actor, comedian or singer
or politician, for that matter.
John Madden, who hosted in 1982,
called Manning on Wednesday and of-
fered the same counsel that Peyton did,
encouraging himto savor working with
the writers and cast members during
the week.
Eli said he and his brother were com-
fortable poking fun at themselves.
The good thing about Saturday
Night Live is you can come in and may-
be express the different sides that peo-
ple dont see, he said.
Maybethats not youat all times, but
for this one night you can kind of let
loose.

Indy 500 picks local firm
Wilkes-Barre-based BCM Solutions,
Inc. has been selected by the Indi-
anapolis Motor Speedway to provide
guest services at this years Indianapo-
lis 500 mile race.
BCM specializes in operational plan-
ning, logistics, security and event staff-
ing for motorsport events and venues
The company founded in 2003 has
been the primary security and event
staffing solution to over 75 NASCAR
and Indy Car sanctioned racing events
at venues including Watkins Glen In-
ternational, Daytona International
Speedway and Pocono Raceway.
Slot revenue stagnates
Revenue generated by slot machines
at Pennsylvanias 11 casinos edged up
1.3 percent in April compared to April
2011, the state Gaming Control Board
reported Wednesday. Last months
figure of $214.1 million includes $4
million from Valley Forge Casino Re-
sort, which was not open a year ago.
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs
reported a 1.3 percent decline in slot
revenue, to $20 million.
Mount Airy Casino Resort showed a
1.7 percent gain, to $12.8 million.
The gaming board noted that April
2012 contained four weekends, com-
pared to five in 2011. Saturday and
Sunday are typically the most lucrative
gambling days.
CVS profit, sales spike
CVS Caremark Corp. gained millions
of new prescriptions in the first quarter
due to a contract impasse between two
rivals.
The company said Wednesday its
first-quarter earnings climbed 9 per-
cent, and it raised its profit forecast for
2012 because the end of a contract
between Walgreen Co. and Express
Scripts Inc. prompted Walgreen cus-
tomers to migrate to CVS stores.
Revenue rose 20 percent to $30.8
billion.
CVS Caremark operates a mail order
prescription fulfillment center in the
Hanover Crossings office park that
employs about 400.
Greece debt upgraded
The Standard & Poors ratings agen-
cy lifted Greeces credit grade out of
default on Wednesday after the country
completed a major debt writedown
with private creditors.
It upgraded the country from selec-
tive default to CCC, still in junk sta-
tus, and gave it a stable outlook.

WHENI HEARD
about BlackBerry
manufacturer Research
In Motions hot new
operating system, I
thought Really?
Those guys are still
around?
BlackBerry is in big trouble the
smartphone manufacturer has been
circling the drain for some time now, due
to its inability to compete with the far
larger and more dynamic Android and
Apple iOS devices on the market and
because of massive and infuriating ser-
vice interruptions.
Theres also not too much you can say
about its recent product releases, beyond
describing themas clunky and thats
being charitable.
Back when there were no other good
options, BlackBerry was great and
even nowyou cant complain about its
email security when it works and if
you need that sort of thing.
Now, just about any choice will give
you more apps or more and better de-
vices.
But RIMand BlackBerry cling dogg-
edly to their existing market share,
determined to make a go of it.
During the launch of their newoper-
ating system, Research In Motion, CEO
Thorstein Heins highlighted some key
points of the software that will drive the
next generation of BlackBerry devices.
Among them: true support for full touch-
screens, without a physical keyboard.
This is a great advance for BlackBerry,
and would be truly remarkable if it were
2004. While it is still going to offer de-
vices with keyboards for the traditional-
ists out there, this is not something to
highlight in 2012.
The company also is planning to offer
better support for major games, an im-
proved camera, improved developer
tools and added support for tablet de-
vices and vehicles.
Congratulations RIM, on arriving at
the party just in time to help clean up the
leftovers.
If RIMwants to be around five years
fromnow, theyre going to have to beat
Google and Apple significantly froma
features standpoint not match the last
generation of devices, or, theyll need to
shift the mobile paradigmin some fun-
damental way.
Tomorrows BlackBerry will be to-
days dumbphone when you pull it out,
people are going to scoff at you or polite-
ly inquire as to when your company is
planning on disposing of its outdated
devices. I should stress that there is
nothing inherently wrong with the de-
vices or the technology behind them
its the corporate management, and
public perception that will need to be
addressed if BlackBerry is going to
continue to bear fruit.

EST PITTSTON Trading a
cubicle and a job as a graphic
artist for the freedom and self-
satisfaction of entrepreneurship, graphic
novelist Chuck Rowles opened a shop in
April dedicatedtopublications that com-
bine both talents comic books.
Rowlesheldasoft openingfor theRub-
ber Mallet, on Wyoming Avenue in West
Pittston, in April with a grand opening
slated for Saturday, which also is Nation-
al Free Comic Book Day.
The convergence of the twowas partly
strategic and a happy coincidence,
Rowles said.
To celebrate the grand opening, Row-
les said he will have people dressed in
character, specials on comic books and
graphic novels and raffles for comic
books and comic-related items.
In addition to comic books, the store
carries pulp story reprints and geek
wear tailored around comic books and
science fiction, he said.
I hopetoincreasetheusedbookselec-
tion too, Rowles said.
Rowles, of Pittston, said he did not
have prior business experience, but
openinghisowncomicbookstorewasal-
ways a dream.
I needed a change, he said. The
technical artist cubicle life was wearing
on me.
The business venture sprang from a
love of comics goingbacktohighschool.
It isafantasticart form,hesaid. And
the writing has gotten much better.
Although his business will appeal to a
limited audience, with only three comic
book stores in Luzerne County, Rowles
feels confident. The reaction from con-
sumers has been positive.
Wednesdays, when the new comics
come in, we are always busy, he said.
His appreciation for the art form in-
spired Rowles to self-publish a series of
science fiction graphic novels called the
Gods of Arr-elaan.
With his wife, Martha Pezzino, as edi-
tor and brother, Stephen Rowles, as col-
orist and effects coordinator, the trio
have had seven novels published.
Currently the Gods of Arr-elaan are
sold out, but Rowles has many more
comics of everyvarietytosatisfyenthusi-
asts.

ABOUT RUBBER MALLET
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.
Sears executives tried Wednesday to
ease concerns about the troubled re-
tailers long-termoutlook amid ever-
sinking sales, emphasizing the com-
panys financial strength, increased
liquidityandprospects toboost oper-
ational results.
Chairman Edward Lampert told
shareholders at Sears Holdings
Corp.s annual meetingthat the com-
pany is not planning to just survive
but thrive as a result of actions its
taking to not only win back disillu-
sioned shoppers but get more pro-
ductivity out of its real estate hold-
ings.
The company has been on the de-
fensive with Wall Street after losing
$3.14 billion in 2011 and because of
the years-long decline in sales at its
Sears and Kmart stores. Revenue at
U.S. stores open at least a year, a key
indicator of retailers performance,
fell 2.2 percent last year.
Sears expects toraise $400 million
to $500 million by spinning off its
smaller Hometown and Outlet
stores as well as some hardware
stores a deal announced in Febru-
ary. It also sold11of its stores to real
estate company General Growth
Properties for $270millionandplans
to cut inventory by $580 million.
Lampert said that while the real
estate sales might not seem consis-
tent withefforts tofixthebusiness,
it was important torestore profitabil-
ity to get shareholders confidence
back.
Weve lost peoples confidence,
he said. I think were beginning to
get it back again.

A leading edge
of very warm
air will slowly
move across our
area today to
promote clearing
skies and much
warmer
temperatures
this afternoon.
The day should
remain rain-free
with showers
and thunder
possible tonight,
which will be our
warmest night
since last
September.
Friday will be
more summer -
like with warmer
and more humid
conditions. A
weak cold front
will arrive later
in the day
followed by
northerly winds,
cooler tempera-
tures, and a
good deal of
sunshine this
weekend.
Another good
chance for rain
will come on
Tueday of next
week.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms across the
Upper Midwest and the eastern Great Lakes today. Some of these storms may be strong to severe.
Showers and scattered thunderstorms will also be likely in the Northeast, while increased moisture
and instability will bring scattered thunderstorms from the Gulf Coast to the Tennessee Valley.

couldnt decide which
slide was better.
Well, that one makes
me dizzy, he said, pointing to the or-
ange corkscrewed apparatus. Right
next to it was another orange slide, this
one just slightly wavy.
That one kind of throws you around
a little bit; its bumpy, he explained. Af-
ter a moment of silent speculation, he
mounted the yellow ladder leading to
the two and rode his way down the
winding one, laughing and feigning
dizziness after hitting bottom.
The slides are just the begin-
ning of the attractions at the
playgroundonHickory Street
in South Wilkes-Barre. The
giant steel monster of bright
colors, which is hard to
miss, also has two rock
walls, circular monkey bars
and another ladder, this one
arched and a bit harder to
climb, plus four swings two
for small children and two for
those of any age fromwhich
Daniel Gonzalez, also 7 and
Meyers friend, likes to launch
himself.
I swing as high as I can, and then I
just jump, he said.
The park also contains a train embla-
zoned with the words Play Express.

The choo-choo doesnt move but
serves as a smaller jungle gym,
complete with a small slide.
The park itself is tiny, nestled
on a bed of mulch but is sur-
rounded by ample grass, perfect
for a baseball or kickball game.
Another notable feature is the
surrounding benches, keeping
the whole park in view for par-
ents. These benches arent plain
but painted with words such as I
Believe and the Wilkes-Barre
beehive symbol.
One painted bench bears a col-
orful illustration with the word
KABOOM! surrounded by
pink, blue and yellow. The park
on Hickory Street is a KaBOOM!
park, which means its part of a
non-profit organization based in
Washington, D.C., that is dedicat-
ed to ensuring children through-
out the nation a safe spot to play.
KaBOOM! focuses on the fact
that many children dont play
outside as much as children in
the past, and many existing play
areas are rundown or unsafe, cre-
ating a play deficit. To date, Ka-
BOOM! has built more than
2,000 playgrounds.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-

For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: While
standing in a serving
line at a restaurant,
a man commented
to my wife about her
weight. She was very
upset. My take was,
Dont talk to strange
men. Later, I wondered whether I
should have confronted the guy.
As a young man I was prone to
rash actions. I would like to think
in my golden years that I have out-
grown this tendency. Still, Im not
sure I handled the situation correctly.
Please advise.
Texas Tom
Dear Texas Tom: Although as a
young man you were prone to rash
actions, as a mature one you gained
the ability to control your temper.
Had you confronted the boor, the situ-
ation would have escalated and you
could have wound up in the pokey
charged with assault. Im advising
you that you were correct to do noth-
ing. The man is lucky your wife didnt
serve him a fist sandwich.
Dear Abby: When my husband,
Jeff, and I married, we drew up
a medical proxy and health care
directives should future incapacita-
tion arise. Jeff is now terminally ill
with brain cancer and has about five
months to live. Over the last two
years he has been through four sur-
geries, 25 doses of radiation, count-
less doctors appointments and physi-
cal therapy.
As his illness progresses, we have
discussed placing him in a hospice.
But the closer he gets to death, the
more he changes his mind. He de-
mands that I lift, jerk and pull him in
and out of bed. When I can no longer
do this, he wants me to install a hoist.
He needs assistance eating, dressing,
bathing, using the toilet and is in a
wheelchair.
Jeffs tumor is growing, causing
pressure and affecting his mental atti-
tude. Hes impatient, demanding, self-
ish and nasty. Im caring for him at
home because its his home and I am
his wife. Somehow, his illness makes
him feel entitled to act like a selfish
child. At what point do I put him in
a hospice facility without his family
calling me a nasty witch and Jeff kick-
ing and screaming to be let out and
return home?
End of My Rope
Dear End: Please accept my sympa-
thy. Your husband is sick and in pain
and the cancer may have affected his
ability to think rationally.
If you havent discussed this with
your husbands doctor, you must. It
may not be necessary to place Jeff in
an inpatient facility because many
terminally ill patients can receive the
same care in their homes. However,
it will take a referral from a doctor,
certifying that your husband has six
months or less to live. Much of the
cost is covered by Medicare, and
most insurance also covers it.
Hospice provides visits from doc-
tors, nurses, home health care aides
and volunteers who can help with
bathing your husband, changing his
linens and some of the lifting that
youre worried about. For your sake
and his, you should contact the Na-
tional Hospice and Palliative Care
Organization. It can help you find a
hospice provider. The toll-free phone
number is 800-658-8898 or log onto
www.nhpco.org.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your
idols may fall. Thats what
human idols do, after all. The
good news is that no one can
take away what youve learned
or the qualities you admired in
the first place.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Does
that special person in your life
make you want to be a better
partner? If not, youll be turn-
ing the question around in your
mind. How can you make your
loved ones want to rise to the
occasion of you?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The
plan changes and youll go with
the flow. Your flexibility will be
appreciated, although maybe
you shouldnt make a habit of
this. People need to know that
youll hold them accountable.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Honesty is not as hard to come
by as people think. The key to
getting answers is to make it OK
for them to tell the truth. If oth-
ers think the truth angers you,
they wont mention it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People
owe you. Everyone knows the
score, and it would be wrong for
you not to take your turn. Also,
others will love to know they
helped you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
nurturing qualities will be ampli-
fied. Youll continue to look for
ways to build other people up,
especially if you believe they
have less than you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You dont
want to waste what youre given,
and yet not all of it is going to
work for your situation. Holding
on just because youre afraid to
lose is not a good reason.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your
drive pushes you; your goals pull
you; and your life distracts you.
Theres probably a good reason.
These distractions are telling you
something about what you need.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
How will your life look after
youve achieved your aims?
Envision it as much as you can
today while your imagination
and creativity are strong.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You have this habit of creating
the magic and then giving other
people the credit for what you
did. Stop deflecting the glory.
Soak it in, and let it fuel your
next endeavor.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The
bottom line is your vitality will
improve when you get more
sleep. Revisit your routine. Does
it support relaxation as much as
it could? A few adjustments will
make a difference.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youll
be making an agreement with
life. If you give it your very best
and expect to get something
back for your effort, it will go
all wrong. Expecting nothing
thats when the magic happens.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 3). You
have a way of building excite-
ment around yourself, and youll
love the feeling of being in the
spotlight. Others will seek your
nurturing and guidance in June.
Your internal compass will point
the way. Youll take on a new
project in July, and things hap-
pen quickly for you a sign that
youre on the right path. Scorpio
and Sagittarius adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 24, 30
and 14.
