Luzerne County officials are questioning state
pension law quirks that allowed former workers to
collect pensions early or without five years of em-
ployment.
The subject initially came up at a county retire-
ment boardmeetingearlier this year whenThomas
Cooneys $71.84 monthly pension was approved.
Cooney was appointed to fill
Greg Skrepenaks county com-
missioner seat and served in the
office two years until home rule
took effect Jan. 2.
Board members presumed
workers had to have five years of
county employment to be vested,
or eligible, to receive a pension.
However, the state pension law says employees
are eligible for pension once they reach age 60, re-

KINGSTON Age, costly
maintenance and even construc-
tion materials are some of the
reasons why the Main Street
Elementary Center and Pringle
Street Elementary School will
be shuttered, Wyoming Valley
West Superintendent Charles
Suppon said Thursday at a re-
quired hearing about the
planned closings.
Suppon said the 92-year-old
Pringle school has major struc-
tural faults and requires expen-
sive upkeep. He also pointed out
it has very poor energy efficien-
cy.
The 84-year-old Plymouth
school on Main Street was built
in 1928 as Plymouth High
School. It has since served as a
junior high school and is now an
elementary campus. Suppon
said that because the structure
is wooden, any add-ons are not
reimbursable by the state. He
said there also are major struc-
tural concerns with the building.
According to Suppon, chil-
dren attending those schools
will be sent to the renovated and
expanded State Street Elemen-
tary Center. The center will have
two wings, one for primary
grades and the other for inter-
mediate grades.
The school closings will re-
quire four additional bus routes,
but Suppon said administrators
are working to consolidate
routes including those going to
the West Side Career and Tech-
nology Center in Pringle.
Board member Joseph Mazur,
who represents the Plymouth ar-
ea, said the Main Street Elemen-
tary School building has
changed little since he attended
it in the 1950s.
The building has served us
well, said board member James
Fender.
Board member Thomas Piec-
zynski expressed concerns
about the location of the dis-
tricts supply building. He felt
that because the district will be-
come more centralized, the sup-
plies should be closer to the
campuses.
The few attendees consisted
of media and a representative of
the architectural firm in charge
of the renovations to the State
Street Elementary Center.
No residents spoke either for
or against the closings.

FORTY FORT The consider-
able artistic talents of the 2012
second-grade class at Wyoming
Seminary Lower School were on
proud display at the 22nd annual
art show titled Childrens Im-
pressions on Thursday.
The exhibit was the culmina-
tion of the classs year-long Art
Appreciation program, which
teaches the young students art
historyandappreciationfromthe
18ththrough19thcenturies. This
year it focused on the works of
the great Impressionists, such as
Monet, Van Gogh and Cezanne.
The program was conceptual-
ized by Seminarys second-grade
teacher Angela Stout and after
two decades is still popular with
students and parents.
Examples of the artwork on
display by the 7- and 8-year-olds
included renditions of Monets
well-known water lilies and hays-
tacks and Van Goghs ethereal
Starry Night. The students were
along on hand to discuss their
work and each had recorded a de-
scription of his or her piece on an
iPod for viewers to listen to.
The earlier we expose our stu-
dents to the arts and help them
develop their sense of apprecia-
tion, the more likely it is for them
to carry their love of the arts
throughout their lifetime, said
Stout.
Stout said she often hears from
former students who have car-
ried their love of art, instilled
through Seminarys program,
with them into adulthood.
The children will be taking a
trip to the Museum of Modern
Art in Manhattan in the spring,
stated Seminary Lower School
Dean Claire Hornung. Using the
knowledge they gained this year,
theyll be museum guides for
their parents that day.

HANOVER TWP. At Thurs-
days regular meeting, the Ha-
nover Area School Board recog-
nized Joanne Basar-Glushefski,
the districts Title One director,
who died last month.
She worked tirelessly to
make this district as good as it
could be, said board President
John Pericci, who noted Glush-
efski often worked late hours.
Shewas employedinthedistrict
for 13 years as a reading special-
ist and reading supervisor.
No one ever questioned her
passion for doing a job the best
she could for us, Pericci said.
The board also recognized
Jared Jones as March Student of
the Month. Jones, who is active
in school sports and clubs, re-
cently receivedthe UnsungHe-
ro Award as a member of the
swimming and diving team.
Referencing the theft of
$5,000 worth of deli style turkey
rolls from an outside locker ear-
lier this month, Deborah Scott
questioned the districts securi-
ty system. DanMalloy, principal
of the junior-senior high school,
said there are 26 cameras locat-
ed throughout the school
grounds.
Pericci added the district re-
cently passed a voluntary safety
and security audit conducted by
the state police, who are investi-
gating the incident.
Wed like to say wed have a
camera on everything, but we
cant, he said. We are adding
cameras as the budget allows.
The board also announced
that staff members recently
took part in a gang identifica-
tion and awareness training.
The workshop was part of Op-
eration Gang Up, an initiative
launched by state Sen. John
Yudichak andU.S. Rep. LouBar-
letta. A public forum to address
gang-related issues will be held
in the Educational Conference
Center at Luzerne County Com-
munity College on May 3 at 6
p.m.
In other business, the board
approved the following to the
substitute teacher list for the
2011-2012 school year: Paul
Schneider, Jenny Saccone, Jen-
nifer Wilson and Leah Zelinka.
The board also voted to ap-
point/reappoint the following
coaches for the 2011-2012school
year: Sean McLaughlin, assist-
ant varsity baseball, and Corey
Brenner, head junior high base-
ball, both at a stipend of $2,145;
Anthony Cibello, assistant ju-
nior high baseball, at a stipend
of $1,478; BrandonSalvatore, as-
sistant varsity baseball, unpaid;

EXETER When Wyoming Ar-
ea School District borrowed mon-
ey five years agotoexpandits high
school, about $5 million was set
aside for infrastructure repairs in
other schools.
Now that school board mem-
bers are considering a $3 million
loan for building repairs at Mont-
gomery Avenue Elementary, par-
ents are asking where the money
went.
At a school board work session
Thursday night, JohnBonin, a par-
ent group spokesman in the dis-
trict, askedabout thenearly$1mil-
lion that went into the general
fund three years in a row.
Over three years, you floated
over $3 million into the budget,
Bonin said.
Superintendent Raymond Ber-
nardi said the money was moved
to offset in-house costs and pre-
vent raising property taxes.
BoardPresident FrankCasarella
said the money could very well
have been used for building im-
provements, but nowthey have to
face the facts.
Were at the position now
where we have to make these deci-
sions, Casarella said.
Gov. Tom Corbetts budget pro-
posal does not include any school
infrastructure improvements, said
board member Carl Yorina.
The board members are consid-
eringa loanfromthe Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture not to
exceed$3million. Theyaretovote
during next Tuesdays formal
meeting.
Carl Yorina, who was elected to
the board in December, said that
after the 3.375 percent interest
rate and40-year loanterm, the dis-
trict will have paid more than $2
million in interest by the time the
loan is paid off.
Quad 3 engineer Sam Scaranti-
no presented a plan that he said
would bring Montgomery Street
School up to standard codes, giv-
ing an estimated amount of $1.8
million needed.
Concerning building upgrades
at Montgomery Street School, the
board members mostly discussed
theventilationsystem, sayingthey
have received complaints about
hot and stuffy hallways. The cur-
rent system is more than 20 years
old and without air conditioning.
Scarantino said repairing the
ducts and replacing the controls
would bring fresh air in as well as
cut down the electric bill, but he
suggested a complete overhaul to
get the most value.
You should replace (the entire
system), Scarantino said. Youll
get the warranty, energy efficiency
and youll get 20 to 30 years.

ity paid his most recent bill, but Fox
Rothschild paid the previous bills as per
an agreement he has with the law firm.
He did not knowif the parking authority
reimbursed the law firm for his charges.
Fox Rothschildis the Philadelphia law
firm where Murphys brother, Patrick
Murphy, is a partner. Patrick Murphy, a
former U.S. representative, is running
for the Democratic nomi-
nation for Pennsylvania
attorney general in next
weeks primary.
Alan Wohlstetter, Fox
Rothschilds lead counsel
on the project, declined
comment on Murphys
bills.
Im not going to re-
spond to those specific
questions, he said. I will
review those with our cli-
ent.
Wohlstetter, who has been retained by
the parking authority to handle the proc-
ess that could lead to leasing the citys
parkingassets, is normallypaid$535per
hour, according to an agreement accept-
ed and signed by Paul Maher, chairman
of the authority. However, Wohlstetter
said his firm is charging $400 per hour
during the initial phase of the citys proc-
ess to determine if it, along with the au-
thority, will lease the citys parking as-
sets.
Wohlstetter said Murphy and other
consultants brought into the process are
charged separately from the law firm. If
Wohlstetter and Murphy, for example,
have a telephone conversation about the
project, the parking authority is on the
hook for $700 per hour. If the process
moves to Phase II seeking bidders
Fox Rothschilds charge increases to
$500 per hour.
Were both pretty quick talkers,
Wohlstetter said, referring to himself
and Murphy. The $700 would only be
charged if we talked for a full hour.
The four-page document goes on to
state that during the initial phase of the
Murphy paid more than $8,130

SCRANTON Chief Public De-
fender Al Flora Jr. has withdrawn a
motion seeking a court order pro-
tecting his job after Luzerne County
officials agreed to stipulate they will
not seek to fire him for filing a law-
suit against the county.
The stipulation, filed Thursday by
the American Civil Liberties Union,
says the county
agrees it will not
take action against
Flora for exercis-
ing his right to free
speech. It does not
preclude the coun-
ty from taking ac-
tion against him
for other reasons.
The agreement negates the need
for a hearing on the matter, which
was scheduled for today in federal
court.
Flora sought a preliminary injunc-
tion in federal court that would pre-
clude the county fromtaking any ac-
tion against him for filing a class ac-
tionsuit that seeks to force the coun-
ty to hire additional attorneys for his
office. Flora contends the filing of
the suit is a protected activity under
his First Amendment right to free
speech.
Theclass-actionsuit, filedApril 10
in Luzerne County Court, claims a
lack of funding for his office has
caused such a severe staffing short-
age that the constitutional rights of
indigent criminal defendants are be-
ing violated.
The federal suit, which was filed
the same day, was a pre-emptive
step taken to protect Flora. The suit
was basedonallegedthreats of retal-
iation that were made against Flora
by former interim county manager
Tom Pribula after Flora spoke out
about staffing concerns and the pos-
sibility he might sue the county.
The suit cited a budget meeting
held on Jan. 12 at which Pribula
stated he believed Flora would sue
the county. Pribula then went on to
note Flora is selected by the county
manager with county councils con-
firmation, and they could replace
Flora if there was a lack of cooper-
ation.
The stipulation reached between
the parties acknowledges that Flora
is acting as chief public defender
pending County Manager Robert
Lawtons decisiononwhotoappoint
to the position permanently. Flora is
among several people who have ap-
plied for the position.
The agreement says Flora will
not be subjected to any adverse em-
ployment action in retaliation for
First Amendment protected activ-
ity. It also states that Flora is not
currently in imminent danger of
termination.

NOXEN Fertile Grounds farm is
looking for more people to buy into its
community-supported agriculture ap-
proach, and a $300,000 federal grant
should help.
The organic farmdepends upona $500
commitment frommembers for thevege-
tables and herbs grown, picked and
packed in boxes for them weekly be-
tween June and October.
It wants to more than double its mem-
bership this year to 200 with the funding
providedthroughtheU.S. Department of
Agriculture.
The departments under secretary Dal-
las Tonsager will present the check at
11:30 a.m. today at The Lands at Hillside
Farms in Kingston Township, one of the
two local delivery points for produce
from Fertile Farms. The Wilkes-Barre
Family YMCA is the other location.
It also wants to turn a profit within the
next three years, said Deb Shoval, foun-
der and project director of Fertile
Grounds.
We are thrilled the USDA recognizes
the value of what we are doing and that
via this grant we will be able to supple-
ment some of the costs of labor and ou-
treach until we become financially sta-
ble, said Shoval.
The farmwas among 297 recipients in
44 states that received more than $40.2
million in Value-Added Producer Grant
funding.
None of the money can be spent on
equipment or seeds or capital expenses.
As soon as it gets off the field is when
the grant starts, said Shoval.
The funding allowed it to hire Leanne
Mazurick as a full-time outreach coordi-
nator to let more people know about
community-supported agriculture, or
CSA. Amy Butler, the head farmer, and
Rayann Brown, who works as a farmer,
are the other full-time employees.
The money, available over a three-year
period, also will help the farm create its
own brand of organic pestos and salad
dressings, andmove the productiontoan
Fertile Grounds farm promoting community-supported agriculture
Bell Boice of Noxen tends to herbs in the greenhouse of the Fertile Grounds organic farm in Noxen. The herbs will be
transported and transplanted in fields a few miles away for harvest later for people who pay to have the farms produce
picked and packed for them.

WILKES-BARRE Wilkes-Barre Area
School Board held a brief special meeting
Thursday to approve a contract for a new
structural inspection of Meyers High
School, work Board Member Christine
Katsock said there was no justification
for during a budget crisis.
The board then adjourned and began a
lengthy budget and finance committee
meeting, looking for ways to close a multi-
million-dollar hole in next years budget.
TheMeyers inspectionwas proposedby
and awarded to Geo Science Engineering
Co. Inc. The company did a similar study
in 2007 and discovered the building has
settled much faster than it should have be-
cause soft soil underneath shifts every
time the Susquehanna River rises dramat-
ically, pushinggroundwater levelsup. Geo
Science suggested a newlook at the build-
ing after Septembers record crest of the
river
Board members decided a new study is
needed to make sure the building is safe.
Maximum cost of the study is $49,800,
though it could rise to $55,450 if work
needs to be done after 4 p.m. to avoid dis-
rupting classes.
In trying to cut spending in next years
budget the board mulled a wide range of
options:
Eliminate the Instructional Support
Team program, which currently includes
four teachers though one is retiring. The
teachers work with other teachers, family
and staff to help students struggling with
academic or behavior problems, in an ef-
fort to keep the student fromentering spe-
cial education. Superintendent Jeff Namey
said it more often delays, rather than pre-
vents, special-education assignment.
Bringing work in house that is cur-
rently contracted to the Luzerne Interme-
diate Unit: occupational therapy, vision
support and orientation and mobility ser-
vices helping vision impaired students
get around. The move could save up to
$175,000, Namey said.
Determine whether money can be
saved by contracting out bus transporta-
tion still handled by the district. Most
work is contractedout, but the district has
11 buses. Namey said the number of driv-
ers is down to five or six and at least nine
would be needed. Board members agreed
tolookat the total cost of the in-house pro-
gramto see if its cheaper to hire newdriv-
ers or contract the work out.
Eliminateelementaryandhighschool
coordinators who oversee teachers and
curriculum in specific subjects, and re-
place them with a single supervisor who
would oversee kindergarten through 12th
grade. Toole said two coordinators in one
subject cost a total of $236,000.
The board does not have to officially
vote on any cuts until the final budget is
approved, which must happen by June 30.
A preliminary budget will be approved
about a month before that, but can be re-
vised.
W-B Area approves inspection of Meyers
Board also looks for ways to close
multimillion-dollar holes in budget.

NEW DELHI
Missile causes barely ripple
I
ndias successful test of a powerful
new missile that can carry nuclear
weapons to Beijing caused barely a
ripple even in China just days
after North Korea was globally vilified
for a failed rocket launch.
The vastly different responses show
the world has grown to accept India as
a responsible and stable nuclear power,
while shunning North Korea as a pa-
riah.
The muted response to Thursday
mornings test underscores how far
India has come in gaining acceptance
for its nuclear program. After India
tested its first nuclear bomb in 1974,
the U.S. put it under sanctions for a
quarter century.
But last decade, the U.S. removed
the sanctions and eventually ratified in
2008 a landmark deal to allow civilian
nuclear trade that effectively accepted
India as a nuclear nation.
India hailed its test of the Agni-V
missile as a significant step forward in
its aspirations to become a regional
and world power.
LINCOLN, NEB.
New pipeline route unveiled
Officials unveiled a new preferred
route Thursday for the Nebraska por-
tion of the stalled Keystone XL oil
pipeline that avoids the states ground-
water-rich Sandhills region.
The proposed route would veer east
around the the Sandhills before looping
back to the original route. Developer
TransCanada has said the reroute adds
about 100 miles to the original 1,700-
mile project that would carry oil from
Canada to the Gulf Coast.
The full $7 billion pipeline would
travel from Canada through Montana,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Okla-
homa and Texas. TransCanada wants
to build the 36-inch pipeline to carry oil
from tar sands in Alberta to refineries
on the Texas Gulf Coast.
OSLO, NORWAY
Accused killer practiced
Anders Behring Breivik knew it
would take practice to be able to
slaughter dozens of people before be-
ing shot by police.
In a chilling summary, the far-right
fanatic claimed Thursday that he
sharpened his aim by playing computer
games for more than a year before
Norways worst peacetime massacre.
Breivik told an Oslo court he took
steroids to build physical strength and
meditated to de-emotionalize himself
before the bombing and shooting ram-
page that left 77 people dead.
His lack of remorse and matter-of-
fact description of weapons and tactics
he even considered using a flame
thrower was deeply disturbing to
families of the victims, most of whom
were teenagers.
PARIS
Clinton: Embargo Syria
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rod-
ham Clinton called Thursday for the
U.N. Security Council to adopt a global
arms embargo and other tough mea-
sures against Syria to reinforce existing
Western embargoes if the country fails
to abide by a cease-fire designed to end
13 months of bloodshed.
Clinton stopped short of calling for
outside military intervention in Syria
something there is little to no for-
eign appetite for and acknowledged
Russia and China would likely veto any
U.N. measure. But she insisted it was
time to impose more consequential
measures on Syrian President Bashar
Assads regime.

Marking grim anniversary
Members of Warsaws Jewish commu-
nity, city officials and others gather to
mark the 69th anniversary of the
doomed Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, in
Warsaw, Poland, on Thursday.
BAGHDADBombs ripped
through 10 Iraqi cities Thurs-
day, killing at least 30 people
and shattering a month of rela-
tive calm. Minority lawmakers
decried the violence as a tragic
but inevitable result of the Shi-
ite-led governments attempts
to dominate Iraqi politics.
Despite simmering sectarian
tensions, a lull indeadlyattacks
since mid-March led many to
hope Iraq had turned a corner
and away from widespread vio-
lence.
That proved overly optimis-
tic as at least 14 bombs and
mortar shells exploded across
10 cities over three hours in the
morning. At least 117 people
were wounded, police said.
What crime have we com-
mitted? Howlong will suchvio-
lence continue? waileda wom-
an, who would identify herself
only by her nickname of Um
Ali, after watching a car ex-
plode outside an apartment
building in western Baghdad.
This is security in Iraq, a
man nearby muttered sarcasti-
cally as he inspected damage to
his car.
Six of the bombings struck at
securityforces andgovernment
officials frequent targets for
insurgents.
In Baghdad alone, 12 people
were killed, mostly in Shiite
neighborhoods.
The other attacks hit north-
ern Iraqi cities from Samar-
ra, where a 2006 mosque bomb-
ing touched off the worst of the
insurgency, to the ethnically
mixed city to Kirkuk, to Sad-
dam Husseins hometown of
Tikrit.
There was no immediate
claim of responsibility, but
Baghdad military command
spokesman Col. Dhia al-Wakeel
said they resembled those car-
ried out by al-Qaida, the Sunni
Muslim terror network.
Sunni and Kurdish lawmak-
ers said the bombings likely
were the result of a monthslong
political impasse that has all
but paralyzed Iraqs govern-
ment since the U.S. military
withdrawal at the end of last
year.
They said ongoing bickering
over a stalled power-sharing
agreement with Prime Minis-
ter Nouri al-Maliki, aShiite, has
opened the door to violence.

WASHINGTON A top law-
maker briefed on the investiga-
tion into a Secret Service prosti-
tution scandal said more firings
could be imminent after the
ouster of three agency employ-
ees.
I wouldnt be surprised if you
saw more dismissals and more
being forced out sooner rather
than later, Rep. Peter King, R-
N.Y., said Thursday.
King is being updated on the
investigation by Secret Service
Director Mark Sullivan.
You may see a few more to-
day or tomorrow, King added.
The Secret Service has moved
quickly to quell the scandal that
erupted late last week, when at
least some of 11 agency employ-
ees implicated in the incident
brought prostitutes back to
their hotel in Cartagena, Colom-
bia, where they were setting up
security for a visit by President
Barack Obama.
So far, three people involved
have lost their jobs. The service
said Wednesday that one super-
visor was allowed to retire, and
another will be fired for cause.
A third employee, who was
not a supervisor, has resigned.
In Washington and Colombia,
separate U.S. government inves-
tigations are under way.
The Secret Service has inves-
tigators in Colombia, and King
said he has assigned four con-
gressional investigators to the
probe.

DALLAS, Texas For
years, Katie Sanchez partic-
ipated in her local Susan G.
Komen Race for the Cure,
raising money annually to
honor her aunt, cousin and
a male friend all breast
cancer survivors.
But when her local race
rolls around this fall, she
wont be there. She already
donated her entry fee to
Planned Parenthood.
Pretty much everyone I
walk with has decided to do
something else, she said.
Sanchez and many other
Komen supporters have
abandoned the nations
largest breast-cancer char-
ity since news emerged in
late January that it had de-
cided to stop making grants
to Planned Parenthood for
breast cancer-screening.
Komen soon reversed that
move following a three-day
onslaught of criticism.
Organizers of individual
Race for the Cure events
5K runs and walks that ac-
count for most of the char-
itys fundraising have
seen participation decline
by as much as 30 percent.
Most also saw their fun-
draising numbers go down,
although a couple of races
brought in more money.
Race organizers acknowl-
edge the effect of the
Planned Parenthood deba-
cle, which angered people
on both sides of the abor-
tion debate.
I think theres no getting
around the fact that the con-
troversy did have an im-
pact, said Leslie Aun, a
spokeswoman for Susan G.
Komen for the Cure. Were
not back where we were. We
know that its going to take
a while.
Sanchez, an occupational
therapist from Denver, said
she was upset when she
learned that Komen had
pulled the funding. And she
wasnt mollified when the
charity reinstated it.
I appreciate that they
changed their minds, but
that was still too little, too
late in my opinion, said
Sanchez, who has participa-
ted in five races over the
past several years.

ORLANDO, Fla. After spending a
week in a jail cell by himself, the neigh-
borhood watch volunteer charged with
murderingTrayvonMartinstands a good
chance of being granted bail today, de-
spite the severity of the second-degree
murder charge he faces.
Whether George Zimmerman is al-
lowed to leave the county as he awaits
trial and howhe would remain safe
are two questions likely to be at the cen-
ter of the hearingat the Seminole County
Criminal Justice Center, experts say.
Although its not
routine for people
charged with murder to
get bond, they do get
bond, and I think there
is an excellent argu-
ment to be made in his
specific case for him to
be released on bond,
said defense attorney Randy McClean,
who practices in Seminole County, about
15 miles northeast of Orlando.
Zimmerman has several factors in his
favor. For one, he has ties to the local
community including family members
who are expected to testify by telephone
on his behalf at todays hearing.
He turned himself in voluntarily after
second-degree murder charges were filed
against him last week, a good indication
that he doesnt pose a flight risk. He has
never been convicted of a crime, which
suggests he doesnt pose a threat tosocie-
ty, legal experts said.
Its hard for a prosecutor to argue he
will leave, when up to this point he has
been cooperative and everyone knows
whohe is, saidStaceyHonowitz, a veter-
an prosecutor in Broward County.
Aspokeswoman for special prosecutor
Angela Coreys office said she wouldnt
comment on whether Corey would ob-
ject to Zimmerman being released on
bond.
Zimmermans safety weighed on the
mind of his defense attorney right after
he took on the case last week. Mark
OMara indicated he would ask that Zim-
mermanbeallowedtoleavethearea, if he
is granted bond, because of those con-
cerns. Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester was
assigned the case Wednesday after a pre-
vious judge recused herself because of a
potential conflict of interest.

STATE COLLEGE More
than 19,700 Penn State alumni
have cast ballots in the election
for three seats open on the uni-
versitys board of trustees.
An unprecedented 86 candi-
dates are running for the seats in
the first election since the board
ousted the late Joe Paterno as
head football coach in November
in the aftermath of child sexual
abuse charges against his ex-as-
sistant Jerry Sandusky.
Paternos departure after 46
seasons angered some former
players, alumni and particularly
alumni watchdoggroups whosee
the election as a vehicle for
change.
Anelectionvotingwebsitecon-
taining the ballot and candidate
biographies opened April 10, and
voting lasts until May 3. Results
are scheduledto be announcedat
a trustees meeting the next day.
All alumni more than
550,000 strong are eligible to
vote.
While not unprecedented,
this speaks to the heightened lev-
el of interest in the election this
year, the trustees office said
about turnout in an email Thurs-
day to the candidates.
The number of ballots cast has
already surpassed last years vote
total, when fewer than 12,000
alumni voted. Alumni associ-
ation executive director Roger
Williams has said he expects re-
cord turnout.
Twotrustees will count thebal-
lots, while an independent audi-
tor will play an expanded role
this year in connection with the
election.
Instead of verifying the vote
count, the audit firm will also
conduct a thorough review of
the process that is being used, an
affirmation that procedures were
followed and a verification of
vote totals, spokeswoman Lisa
Powers said.
Campaigning appears to be
ratcheting up with two weeks to
go until voting ends. The alumni
association is planning a meet-
the-candidates event on campus
Saturday morning before the
Blue-White game that ends
spring football practice.
More than 60 candidates are
planning to attend, as are trust-
ees chairwoman Karen Peetz and
vice chairmanKeithMasser. Can-
didates unable to attend are al-
lowed to send a representative.
Other alumni candidates are
expected to either campaign on
their own or attend separate
events during tailgating before

WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne
County judge said in court pa-
pers filed Wednesday that an ap-
peal to the state Superior Court
by a man convicted of killing a
woman with a hatchet is without
merit.
Judge David Lupas, who presi-
ded over the trail of John Stone,
59, said in a 12-page opinion the
reasons Stone is seeking an ap-
peal withthe highcourt, andulti-
mately a reversal of his convic-
tion and sentence, should be re-
jected by the court.
Stone, of Shickshinny, was
convicted in September of first-
degree murder in the October
2010 death of Catherine Tabit,
37, of Kingston.
Prosecutors say Stone used a
13-inch hatchet to deliver at least
12 blows to Tabit. Lupas sen-
tenced Stone in November to life
in prison without parole.
Stonefiledhis appeal totheSu-
perior Court in March, citing five
issues he says are grounds for his
conviction to be overturned.
Lupas said in his filing he did
not improperlyrule ontestimony
regarding premeditation be-
cause a defense expert, Richard
Fischbein, testified the killing
did not look premeditated and
that Lupas felt he ruled correctly
since it is ultimately up to the ju-
ry to decide if Stone formulated
intent and premeditation in the
murder.
Lupas also wrote the blood
spatter expert, state Trooper
James Shubzda, was a qualified
expert based on the fact that he
has been a trooper for 15 years,
processed more than1,500 crime
scenes andhas investigatedmore
than 130 homi-
cide cases.
He further
testified that he
had training in
blood evidence
identification
and bloodstain
pattern analy-
sis, and that he was previously
qualified as an expert, Lupas
wrote.
Also, defense attorneys should
not have been permitted to pre-
sent evidence of a prior convic-
tion Tabit had 14 years ago be-
cause the case was so old and be-
cause Stone never offered evi-
dence of self-defense at the time
of his trial.
That self-defense argument,
Lupas said, alsodoes not apply to
Stones case because no testimo-
ny was given to show that Stone
believed he was in danger of
death or harm, or that Stone
needed to kill Tabit to save his
own life.
There was not a scintilla of
evidence by way of testimony or
exhibit to suggest that Catherine
Tabit was in possession of a
weapon, Lupas wrote.
A request for a mistrial during
Stones testimony was also un-
warranted, Lupas wrote, because
he ordered a prosecutor to re-
word the question, and because
Stone previously made state-
ments to police before his testi-
mony at the trial.
According to state law, Lupas
said, Stone was not subject to im-
peachment because he had al-
ready made statements to police
and his testimony wasnt the first
statement he made in the case.
As (Stone) chose to testify,
this case was largely decided on
this issue of credibility, Lupas
wrote.
Once the jury resolved that is-
sue, their verdict of guilty of mur-
der in the first-degree was not
surprising, the judge wrote.
Judge: Appeal
should be tossed
Judge David Lupas says John
Stones appeal of murder
conviction is without merit.

PITTSTON Ray Morgan
told City Council on Wednes-
day night said that even
though he had recently
stepped down as resident rep-
resentative on the housing
board, he remained con-
cerned about safety issues
within the Infantino Towers
and Apollo Apartments run by
the Pittston Housing Author-
ity.
City Manager Joe Mosko-
vitz said that since the author-
ity withdrew a significant
amount of funding previously
directed to the city, the city
was no longer able to dedicate
a police officer to those areas.
Moskovitz said housing
complexes funded by the U.S.
Department of Housing and
Urban Development were ex-
empt from some city regula-
tions in regard to police and
fire.
We will attempt to resolve
this by reaching out to HUD,
said Moskovitz.
He also lauded Morgan for
all the time and effort he had
volunteered to make HUD fa-
cilities within the city safer.
In other business, council
awarded a $380,850 street
paving contract to Pennsy
Supply, the low bidder.
As director of the street de-
partment, Councilman Danny
Argo said he looks forward to
the completion of the project
on Union and Wharf streets as
an example of the council
working to improve the city
for its residents.
Resident Barb Zangre,
Church Street, responding to
the citys decision to put up a
traffic light at Market and
Main streets, asked if that
light could be equipped with a
camera to record and cite vio-
lators in an expedient way.
Solicitor Sam Falcone said
that although there is pending
legislation in the state House
in regard to this, Pittston was
not now authorized to use
cameras at traffic lights.
In another matter, resident
Jim Morris said the recently
opened ArtSEEN Gallery on
Main Street would hold a
Second Friday event in
which the gallery would open
its doors to the public with
various cultural offerings.
Public housing security concerns city resident
Funding cut means Pittston
no longer able to dedicate a
police officer to those areas.

TORONTOJonathanFrid, a
Canadian actor best known for
playing Barnabas Collins in the
1960s original vampire soap op-
era DarkShadows, has died. He
was 87.
Frid died Fri-
day of natural
causes in a hos-
pital in his
home town of
Hamilton, On-
tario, said Jim
Pierson, a
friend and
spokesman for Dan Curtis Pro-
ductions, the creator of Dark
Shadows.
Frid starred in the 1960s goth-
ic-flavored soap opera about odd,
supernatural goings-on at a fam-
ily estate in Maine.
His death comes just weeks be-
fore a Tim Burton-directed ver-
sion of Dark Shadows is due out
next month starring Johnny
Depp as Barnabas Collins. Frid
has a cameo role in the new mo-
vie in which he meets Depps
character in a party scene with
two other actors from the show.
Pierson said Burton and Depp
were fans of Frid, who played a
vulnerable vampire in one of the
first sympathetic portrayal of the
immortal creatures.

In keeping with its sustainable

This year a total of 15 acres will
be planted with 55 different crops
mostly grown from seed in the
greenhouse on Butlers property.
Some herbs and kale have al-

Earlier this week Butlers tractor

tional crops.
The first boxes packed for

process consultant charges will
be paid 75 percent of the normal

is 75 percent of his normal hourly
rate.
During the next phase of the
process the concession phase
Fox Rothschild attorneys will be
billed at $500 per hour and con-
sultants at 100 percent of their
normal rate. Murphys rate
would then be $400 per hour.
Wohlstetter said prospective
bidders have already inquired
about the citys parking assets.
We havent even sent out the
(Requests for Qualifications),
Wohlstetter said. That wont
happen until after the authoritys
meeting next week.
The agreement estimates the
total cost of Fox Rothschilds ser-
vices for the initial phase at
$75,000 and an additional cost of
$100,000 for the second phase.
The firm required a $15,000 re-
tainer.
If at the end of the bidding
phase the client has not received
a bid acceptable in its reasonable
judgment, there is no obligation
to proceed to the concession
phase, the agreement states.
Mayor Tom Leighton an-
nounced last week his plan to
look into leasing the citys 2,113
garage spaces, 160 surface lot
spaces and 800 parking meters.
The city operates the Intermodal
Center and the parking meters;
the authority operates Park &
Lock garages andsurface lots. He
said the city is seeking a mini-
mum of $20 million up front and
retention of the enforcement rev-
enue from the parking meters.
Parking authority member Ed
Katarsky said he thinks more
than $20 million must be paid up
front.
The Times Leader made a for-
mal Right to Know request for
the agreement and attorney Mur-
ray Ufberg, the authoritys solic-
itor, provided a copy Thursday.
The proposal to privatize the
citys parking assets was present-
ed to the authority in December,
said Katarsky. So far, the author-
ity has paid Fox Rothschild
around $83,000, according to
Wohlstetter.

paigning, calling a recent ad
malicious and slanderous.
Holdens camp stopped airing
the ad.
Eric Nagy, Holdens campaign
manager, said the ad was not
about Cartwrights clients.
Its about facts, Nagy said.
And the fact is, he and his firm
have contributed thousands of
dollars to judges they argue
cases in front of. So, while he ac-
cuses Tim Holden of receiving
money from lobbyists, Matt
Cartwright conveniently ignores
the fact that he has lobbied judg-
es himself. You cant have it both
ways.
Holden later issued a state-
ment Thursday that said both
sides have gone too far.
Between Matt Cartwright
and outside organizations, over
$1millionhas beenspent onneg-
ative ads against me on TV, in
the mail, and on the Internet,
Holden said. In this primary,
both sides have gone too far. I
take responsibility for my cam-
paigns part in that, and yester-
day, ordered that only positive
ads will be aired detailing my re-
cord on Social Security and the
need to protect it from Republi-
can efforts to dismantle it. I urge
Matt Cartwright to join me in
running a positive campaign for
the final five days of this cam-
paign.
Nagy said Cartwright only
seems to find fault with negative
ads against him.
To be clear, no one is ques-
tioning the pain and suffering of
the victiminthis case, least of all
Tim Holden, who has secured
tens of millions of dollars in
funding for Hershey Medical
Centers Cancer Institute, Nagy
said. Regardless, the ad has
been removed.
Nagy said there have been
many negative attacks in the
campaign -- from both sides.
Enough is enough, he said.
Holden called for an end to
negative campaign ads, and will
onlyair positiveads fromhereon
out, Nagy said.
Congressman Holden has
challenged Matt Cartwright to
do the same, Nagy said.
Nagy said Cartwrights ads
have accused Holden of poison-
ing drinking water and accept-
ing campaign contributions
from Halliburton and former
vice president Dick Cheney.
All flat out lies, Nagy said.
Matt Cartwrights press confer-
ence today was meant to distract
fromhis history of contributions
to judges, the very thing our ad
meant to shed light on. Again,
its about facts.
HOLDEN
represented. She was misdiag-
nosed with cancer and endured
seven months of chemotherapy
before seeking a second opinion
that disclosedshe never hadcan-
cer.
She said she has struggled
with physical and emotional af-
ter-effects of the ordeal.
Brandy Stets, of Wilkes-Barre
Township, sat on the jury that
awarded Kachurak the money.
She said she was shocked by the
adHoldens campproduced. The
case took place in 2007.
Cartwright called the ad ma-
licious and slanderous. He said
it accused him and his family of
improper ethical behavior.
I understand politics is a
tough sport, he said. But my
opponent ran an ad that accused
me of bribing a judge.
Cartwright said the donation
to Tooles campaign was made
years before the corruption scan-
dal broke. Hesaidheandhis fam-
ily have contributed to many
campaigns over the years.
Ex-juror weighs in
Stets, who was asked by the
Cartwright campaign to appear,
said she felt she had to come for-
ward to do the right thing.
Its a lie, Stets said of the
commercial andits implications.
Thejurylistenedtothreeweeks
of testimony and we decided to
make the award. The judge had
nothing to do with it.
Kachurak, with her mother,
Pat, and husband, Harry, at her
side, said she never expected to
be a part of a political campaign
ad.
After everything I have been
through with my family, to see
this ad that says I did something
criminal, makes me feel humili-
ated and violated, Kachurak
said. To have somebody say
somethingnegativeabout mefor
their own personal and political
gain is wrong. Nothing could be
further from the truth. I de-
served that verdict.
She said she and her family
were devastated when she was
told she had cancer. She said her
children thought they were go-
ing to lose their mother and the
chemotherapy caused many oth-
er side effects.
Cartwright then criticized
Holden for refusing to meet him
in debate.
Yet he will spread these vile
untruths about me, my family
and my client, Cartwright said.
But hewont meet metodiscuss
the issues of the 17th District. If
thats the kind of congressman
the voters want, then I wish
them luck.
Jimmy Connors comments
Former Scranton Mayor Jim-
my Connors, a Cartwright sup-
porter, said he never saw nega-
tive ads as bad the Holden ad.
Connors was involved in eight
campaigns, winning six.
This went over the top, Con-
nors said. It crossed the line. It
looks like an act of desperation
on Holdens part.

WILKES-BARRE Moving
computer cursors withyour eyes,
feeling skin with a pressure-
sensitive robotic arm, guiding
cameras andsurgical tools witha
laptop or joystick Wilkes Uni-
versity showed off a plethora of
cutting-edge medical tools dur-
ing a special unveiling of the new
Metro Surgical Robotics Lab on
Thursday.
Our goal is to be the best
small engineering school in the
state, but I believe with partner-
ships andthings like youll see to-
day, we can extend that to the
best in the country, Director of
Wilkes Division of Engineering
and Physics Rodney Ridley said
during a brief presentation be-
fore a tour of the new lab.
Achieving such a goal requires
great staff, students, business
partners and youve got to have
the toys, Ridley said with a grin.
In this case, the business part-
ners includeInterMetroIndustri-
es, the main sponsor of the pro-
ject; Geisinger Medical Center,
which is providing surgeons to
teach students procedures with
theequipment, andKeystoneAu-
tomation.
Assistant professor of mechan-
ical engineering Xiaoli Zhang
gave a quick tour of the lab while
students showed how the high-
tech gizmos work. Songpo Li
demonstrated a device that
tracks eyeball movement while
lookingat a screen, movinga cur-
sor to that screen location.
JustinFlam, asenior fromNew
Jersey, moved a pen-like device
attached to a mechanical arm,
making a similar arm move re-
motely and press against various
materials. The remote armcould
measure pressure and relay the
feeling to Flams hand. The same
device could be used to feel vir-
tual objects on a screen, such as
the image of a cow or a bowl of
apples.
John Malachowski of Clarks
Summit used a laptop to manip-
ulate a larger robotic arm Zhang
saidcouldholda camera or surgi-
cal instrument. Ultimately, she
said, thegoal wouldbetooperate
the camera with the device that
follows the eyes.
The lab will be used by under-
graduates, Ridley said, noting
that inmanyschools suchsophis-
ticatedequipment, if its available
at all, is reservedfor graduatestu-
dents or thoseworkinginspecial-
izedfields. Thegoal at Wilkes, Ri-
dley said, is not to produce engi-
neers with highly specialized
knowledge, but toproduceprob-
lem solvers.
Students not only get to work
with the equipment, Zhang said,
they will learn to make it. She
held up a small cylindrical nar-
rower thanmost little fingers and
said it is the prototype for a re-
mote control robot that would be
eventinier wee enoughtoenter
a patient through the mouth and
allowa doctor to do stomach sur-
gerywithout ascalpel or external
scar.

A Pennsylvania Department
of State legal opinion means
current student IDs at two local
colleges will meet require-
ments under a new state Voter
ID Law.
And a decision by Penn State
University means all students
will be able to use their soon-to-
be issued IDs at polling booths
this fall.
The legal opinion that stick-
ers bearing years that are af-
fixed to IDs each semester or
academic year are valid means
cards issued by Misericordia
University and Lackawanna
College are acceptable. Luzerne
County Community College
IDs contain an expiration date,
making them accepted as well.
Ronald Ruman, the Depart-
ment of States press secretary,
said the departments attorneys
determined stickers bearing
years or semesters are accept-
able because they qualify as
having de facto expiration
dates.
Since the requirement wont
be enforced until the November
general election, colleges have
time to add an expiration date.
Two local schools Keystone
College and Marywood Univer-
sity -- say they will add the dates
for the fall semester. Two others
are studying potential changes
to current IDs Kings College
and Wilkes University while
the University of Scranton and
Baptist Bible College plan no
changes.
The local Penn State Univer-
sity campuses have received
word from University Park that
beginning with summer orien-
tation, all new student ID cards
will include a printed expira-
tion date that is five years from
the date of issue. Current stu-
dents with no other form of
identification for voting will be
issued an expiration sticker for
their cards, said Susan Bartal, a
spokeswoman for the Penn
State Hazleton campus in Sug-
arloaf Township.
Over the next three years as
ID cards are replaced for new
students, the stickers will be
phased out.
All of the local colleges said
they will be doing outreach to
inform students of the changes
to the voting law, either
through school offices or stu-
dent-led clubs or organizations.
More student IDs
will meet voter law
Legal opinion says expiration
stickers are OK on cards to be
shown for November election.

Older Pennsylvanians who no
longer drive can obtain a free
photo ID card acceptable for vot-
ing from PennDOT, the Secreta-
ry of the Commonwealth said on
Wednesday.
Concerns had been raised that
senior citizens, disabled persons
and others would be discouraged
from voting by the time and ex-
pense required in getting a photo
identification card after the state
adopted the requirement last
month.
Secretary Carol Aichele said
thosewhohavehadPennsylvania
drivers licenses since 1990 will
be able to get a free non-driver li-
cense photo ID at any Depart-
ment of Transportation driver li-
cense center. They will have to
fill out an application form and
swear they have no other accept-
able photo ID.
If youhada Pennsylvania driv-
ers license, or a non-driver li-
cense photoID, inmost cases you
will not be required to bring a
birth certificate, or any other
proof of identification or resi-
dence, to request a non-driver
photo ID for voting purposes,
Aichele said. Once you are ver-
ifiedas beinginthesystem, Penn-
DOTwill provide you with a non-
driver license photo ID, which
you can use to vote.
Those whose licenses expired
before 1990 should call Penn-
DOTs Customer Care Center at
1-800-932-4600 to verify their in-
formation is still in the system.
Any step that can be taken to
make the issuance of an IDeasier
is a step in the right direction,
said state Rep. Mike Carroll, D-
Avoca. But he said he still has
concerns about how some se-
niors that dont drive will get to
the PennDOT centers to get
those IDs.
Ron Ruman, a department
spokesman, said he believes this
will take care of 95 percent of our
seniors.
Pennsylvania voters will be
asked to show photo ID at the
polls in the April 24 primary elec-
tion, but will not be required to
produce the photo ID until No-
vembers general election. Pri-
mary voters without acceptable
IDwill be givena handout by poll
workers, listing the acceptable
IDs and where to get more infor-
mation.
Current election law, remain-
ing in effect for the primary, re-
quires first-time voters and peo-
ple voting for the first time at a
new polling place to show ID,
though it need not be a photo ID.
Acceptable identification for
first-time voters can be proof of
residence, such as a tax or utility
bill.
Seniors can get free
ID cards for voting
Concerns had been raised that
seniors, disabled persons and
others would be discouraged.
By ANDREWM. SEDER
Starting with the November gen-
eral election, all photo IDs must be
current and contain an expiration
date, unless otherwise noted.
Acceptable IDs include:
Photo IDs issued by the U.S.
federal government or the Com-
monwealth of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania drivers license or
non-drivers license photo ID (valid
for voting purposes 12 months
past expiration date).
Valid U.S. passport.
U.S. active duty and retired
military ID (a service member or
veterans ID must designate an
expiration date or designate that
the expiration date is indefinite).
Military dependents ID must
contain an expiration date.
Employee photo ID issued by
federal, Pennsylvania, or a Penn-
sylvania county or municipal gov-
ernment.
Photo ID cards from an accred-
ited public or private Pennsylvania
college or university.
Photo ID cards issued by a Penn-
sylvania care facility, including
long-term care facilities, assisted
living residences or personal care
homes.

WILKES-BARRE -- One of the
most important issues facing se-
nior citizens is the transitionthey
face if their health deteriorates,
state Rep. Phyllis Mundy told a
group of elder-care advocates on
Thursday.
For this reason, I worked hard
during my tenure as chairman of
the House AgingandOlder Adult
Services Committee to improve
access to home- and community-
basedservicesfor our seniors, not
only because most seniors want
to age in their own homes and
communities, but because it is
the right thing to do for our tax-
payers, Mundy, D-Kingston,
said.
Mundy and state Rep. Eddie
Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre,
spoke toabout 200people attend-
ingthefourthannual Educational
Workshop for Older Adults at the
Genetti Hotel &Conference Cen-
ter. The event was hosted by the
Elder Issues Coalition of Lu-
zerne/Wyoming Counties.
Mundy said that, on average, it
costs $57,000 a year to care for a
person in a nursing facility com-
pared to $28,000 in the home and
community.
That is not to say nursing
homes are not an important long-
term care option; they are and
will continue to be for those
whose needs are too great to be
cared for elsewhere, Mundy
said.
She said Pennsylvania must
build an infrastructure that al-
lows people to stay in their own
homes as long as possible.
It pains me to tell you today
that Gov. Corbett recently pro-
posed to contain the growth in
spending for the Aging Waiver in
this years state budget, Mundy
said. While the state should ab-
solutely review cases thoroughly
to see if theres any duplication of
services, we do not want DPW
doing the reviews in the same
reckless way they have been do-
ing other Medicaid eligibility
redeterminations.
TheAgingWaiver allows Penn-
sylvanians over age 60 who qual-
ify to stay in their homes but re-
ceive state services.
Trula Hollywood, executive di-
rector of the Area Agency on Ag-
ing for Luzerne and Wyoming
Counties, said older adults want
to make decisions, not have them
made for them.
We are a different sort of per-
son (than past generations); we
want to be a participant in our
health care, not a recipient, she
said.
Mundy said the state has more
choices than Corbett is conced-
ing.
It doesnt have to be a matter
of which programs to cut, she
said. It is really a question of pri-
orities.
Pashinski said a national
health care plan is needed and he
commended President Barack
Obama for having the courage
to move it forward.
Pashinski said Congress needs
to work out the details and come
to an agreement.

UNION TWP. The North-
west Area School Board complet-
ed steps Wednesday night to re-
turn instruction for students
with special needs to the district
from the Luzerne Intermediate
Unit during the 2012-13 school
term.
The board acted unanimously
to approve a recommendation
presented by Superintendent Ro-
nald Grevera establishing classes
for special-needs students in
grades kindergarten through
sixth at the intermediate school
and grades seven through 12 at
the high school.
During his original presenta-
tion on April 4, Grevera estimat-
ed the district might save
$155,000 in instructional and
transportation expenses by re-
turning these programs to North-
west.
The boards vote on the matter
was 8-0. Eight of nine school di-
rectors were in attendance.
In conjunction with this deci-
sion, the board gave Grevera per-
mission to seek applicants for
two special-education teacher
positions.
The board also moved to refi-
nance some its debt, and two di-
rectors, Randy Tomasacci, board
chairman, and Albert Gordon,
board secretary, criticized recent
comments by Gov. Tom Corbett.
Director Michael Kreidler
made some initial comments
about Corbett, but it was Toma-
sacci who charged the governor
doesnt haveaclueof what school
boards do.
Corbett recently blamed
school boards for increases intax-
es and educational costs.
He doesnt knowwhat a tough
job school boards have to make
budgetary cuts and balance a
budget and then negotiate with
teachers unions. Nine volun-
teers from the community have
to do that, not the governor, To-
masacci said.
Gordon said Corbetts initia-
tives oneducational expenses fall
far short of those presented by
Corbetts colleagues Gov. Scott
Walker of Wisconsin and Gov.
Chris Christie of New Jersey.
Gordon said that in discus-
sions he had recently with state
Rep. Karen Boback, he expressed
the viewthat to control costs we
have to take away the ability of
teachers to strike.
Also, the board voted to renew
its contract for food services with
Nutrition Inc., including the fol-
lowing 2012-13 increases in cafe-
teria prices: 5 cents for breakfast,
20 cents for lunch and a 5 percent
hike in a-la-cart costs for second-
ary and elementary students.

DALLAS TWP. Members of
the Back Mountain Community
Partnership on Thursday dis-
cussed ongoing plans for a re-
gional emergency management
agency building to be construct-
ed in Lehman Township.
Lehman Township was award-
ed a $975,000 grant fromgaming
funds onbehalf of thepartnership
last month for the project.
The partnership initially re-
quested $1.2 million in the grant
application. Chairman James Re-
ino Jr. said a committee consist-
ing of partnership members was
formed and discussions were
held with EMA officials to deter-
mine whether the project could
be scaled down.
Reino said the major change in
the project plans include remov-
ing the proposed pole barn and
instead building an addition on
theexistingbuilding. Thesiteis a
former medical building located
off state Route 118. Reino said
this change will save money
while also better utilizing exist-
ing space at the site.
He also said discussions with
EMAofficials led the group to in-
clude about an addition $30,000
worth of emergency equipment
than initially requested in the
grant application.
Reinosaidfurniture was anoth-
er piece of the project that was
scaled back to correspond with
the monies available.
The project was developed af-
ter two tropical storms wreaked
havoc on the Back Mountain late
last year.
In other business, Lynn Banta
of the Back Mountain Chamber
of Commerce told members that
the business expo held at Miser-
icordia University on Wednesday
was a well-attended and success-
ful event.
She also said the partnerships
membership in the chamber has
officially been processed, and re-
search conducted by an intern
proved the partnership is the on-
ly governmental organization of
its kind in the state.
Vice Chairman John Wilkes Jr.
said the municipalities should
provide a training session for
road department workers for a
jointly purchased radar speed
trailer.
He saidthe mechanismis more
complicated than originally
thought, and a training session
with those who would be relocat-
ing the equipment would be ben-
eficial.

I wouldnt be surprised if you saw
more dismissals and more being
forced out sooner rather than
later.
U.S. Rep. Peter King
The lawmaker from New York, who this week is being briefed on the
investigation into a Secret Service prostitution scandal, predicted more
firings would follow the forced ouster of three agency employees. So far,
1 1 agency employees have been implicated to varying degrees in the
incident in Colombia.
Cartwright is the change
that Washington needs
I
saw television commercials in which
Congressman Tim Holden is slinging
mud at Matt Cartwright, his primary
opponent. Mr. Holden is calling Mr. Cart-
wright wealthy and out of touch.
I know Matt Cartwright, Marion Munley
and the Munley family. They have spent
their careers fighting for the working men
and women of our area. Both Matt and his
wife, Marion, have worked full time in the
field of law for more than 25 years and
deserve any success they have.
I understand Mr. Holden has never held
a job in the private sector and always has
had a political job. We need someone like
Matt Cartwright who knows what its like
to run a business, not a career politician.
Mr. Holdens commercials show what is
wrong with Washington. Its time for a
change. I am voting for Matt Cartwright.

Week, we recognize and thank Geis-
inger Wyoming Valley Medical Cen-
ters distinguished volunteers for their
exceptional service.
Approximately 330 volunteers, repre-
senting all the communities we serve,
share their skills and compassion while
assisting our patients, visitors, physicians
and staff. They serve in virtually every
hospital department, and we are fortunate
to enjoy such a strong volunteer force. In
2011 alone, they provided nearly 40,000
hours of service comforting patients,
sharing a laugh and lending a hand with a
host of requests.
Volunteers are an integral part of the
Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center
family, and their dedication enhances the
patient, family and visitor experience in
more ways than could ever be mentioned.
Please join with us in recognizing the
volunteers at Geisinger Wyoming Valley

Why doesnt Holden
stump on his merits?
I
am a Nanticoke resident and cant vote
for Congressman Tim Holden or Matt
Cartwright.
I had the pleasure of working for Matt
Cartwright for seven years. Even though I
was just a courier, he always treated me
with respect and made me feel as impor-
tant as anyone else on the team. I left the
firm nearly two years ago and have nothing
to gain by writing this letter.
I feel dragging Matts character through
the mud isnt fair play.
Congressman Holden has been very
busy the last month or so telling the voters
Matt contributed to crooked politicians.
You would think a congressman who has
been in office 20 years would be telling you
about his accomplishments; or doesnt he
have any accomplishments of which to
boast? Matt Cartwright made the same
mistakes hundreds of other contributors
and thousands of voters made, supporting
crooked politicians. Does that make him a
bad person?
Congressman Holden sought and re-
ceived the endorsement from the same
party that endorsed the crooked politic-
ians. Many good people contributed to the
same crooked politicians. Does that make
them bad people?
I have three questions for Congressman
Holden:
1. Did you seek and receive the endorse-
ment from the same party that backed the
crooked politicians? If you did, why is Matt
so bad?
2. Did you seek and receive contribu-
tions from any of the same people who
contributed to the crooked politicians? If
you did, why is Matt so bad?
3. After 20 years in Congress, what are
your most important accomplishments,
other than giving yourself big pay raises?
We still dont know.
It is time the Luzerne County Democrat-
ic Party stops supporting winners of elec-
tions but losers in life. The last decade has
not been good; just look at some of the
people it has endorsed. How in good con-
science could its members not support
Matt?
I am a firm believer in term limits.
Twenty years in Congress and attaining
much power is not necessarily a good
thing. Just read the daily paper or watch
the nightly news, and see how many so-
called good politicians lives have been
destroyed because of their power.
It appears no office is immune.

Writer says video proves
that voter fraud exists
U
.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has
declared that there is no proof that
in-person voter fraud is a problem.
A young man in a new video that was
provided to Breitbart.com, and which I
have seen demonstrates why Holder
should stop attacking voter ID laws, by
walking into Holders voting precinct and
showing the world that anyone can obtain
Eric Holders primary ballot. Literally.
The video shows a young man entering
a Washington, D.C., polling place at 3401
Nebraska Ave., NW, on primary day of this
year April 3 and giving Holders name
and address. The poll worker promptly
offers the young man Holders ballot.
The young man then suggests that he
should show his ID; the poll worker, in
compliance with D.C. law, states: You
dont need it. Its all right. As long as
youre in here, youre on our list, and thats
who you say you are, youre okay.
The young man replies: I would feel
more comfortable if I just had my ID. Is it
all right if I go get it? The poll worker
agrees.
Ill be back faster than you can say
furious, the young man jokes on his way
out, in a reference to the Fast and Fu-
rious gun-walking scandal that has
plagued Holders Department of Justice.
Holder has maintained that voter fraud
is not a major problem in the United
States, and that voter ID would not curb
voter fraud in any case.
As the video has proven, voter fraud is
easy and simple and might be increasing-
ly common in the absence of voter ID
laws.
It already has shown how dead people
can vote in New Hampshire, prompting
the state Senate to pass a voter ID law;
theyve also shown people can use celebri-
ty names such as Tim Tebow and Tom
Brady to vote in Minnesota, prompting the
state Legislature to put voter ID on the
ballot as a constitutional amendment.
So we will continue to hear from the
Obama administrations Eric Holder and
the naysayers that voter ID is not required
because there is no evidence of voter
fraud.
Yeah, right!
Is that any way to win an election? Voter
ID should be a requirement to vote in any
election nationwide.

URING THE 2008
presidential cam-
paign, the National
Rifle Association
spent millions of dollars on po-
litical ads claiming that Demo-
cratic candidate Barack Obama
was out to take Americans
guns away; one typical ploywas
an NRAwebsite, called GunBa-
nObama.org, whose banner
headline read, Obama would
be the most anti-gun president
in American history.
In the wake of Obamas elec-
tion, gun sales soared and am-
munition prices skyrocketed as
consumers stockpiled bullets
in preparation for a war on gun
rights that never happened.
Obama hasnt proposed any an-
ti-gun legislation in his first
term, and has rarely mentioned
the topic.
This makes us wonder how
long the NRA and the politic-
ians whodoits biddingcancon-
tinue to pretend theres a wolf
at the door before people look
outside and discover that
wolves are an endangered spe-
cies. The answer, based on the
recent annual NRAconvention,
is apparently forever.
Presumptive GOP presiden-
tial nominee Mitt Romney, the
events headliner, slammed
Obama for employing every
imaginableruseandploy tore-
strict gun rights (apparently,
his ruses are so subtle as to be
invisible to the naked eye) and
warned that if the president
wins a second term, he will fi-
nally launch the NRAs long-
hyped attack on guns.
Unfortunately, though, the
president that Republicans por-
trayas awolf insheeps clothing
is really just a sheep. If the NRA
persists in crying wolf despite
this obvious fact, its because
gun owners might become
complacent if they realized the
battle against gun control has
beenlargelywonwhichmight
prompt them to stop sending
money to the NRA.

A
S ANOTHER Earth
Day observance
nears this weekend,
consider this ques-
tion: Howmuch of your house-
hold garbage consists of food?
If youre like most Ameri-
cans, you ditch lots of kitchen
scraps, unwanted leftovers and
spoiled foods into the trash
rather than finding better op-
tions. Consequently, in 2010,
we collectively tossed 33 mil-
lion tons of food, making it the
top material in the municipal
waste stream to ultimately re-
ach landfills and incinerators,
according to the Environmen-
tal Protection Agency.
The EPA and other environ-
mentally focused groups are
encouraging people to rethink
their food-handling strategies,
from decisions made at the su-
permarket about how much to
buy, to considerations at home
about reuse and recycling. Can
you share leftovers with a local
soup kitchen? Salvage vegeta-
bles from tonights dinner for
tomorrows tasty soup?
Do you compost?
The EPA recently recog-
nizedState College, the Centre
County community next to
Penn State Universitys main
campus, for its pioneering (at
least inPennsylvania) curbside
food waste collection. Other
municipalities are urged to ex-
plore the option, allowing peo-
ple to plop certain items
fruits, veggies, coffee grounds
in containers for later pickup
and composting, not unlike
yard and garden waste collec-
tions.
Beyond keeping the materi-
als from piling up in landfills,
food recovery efforts can coun-
teract another problem: cli-
mate change. Rapidly decom-
posing foods become a signif-
icant source of methane, an ex-
tremely potent greenhouse
gas, accordingtoanEPAnews
release.
Eliminating table waste
from your household garbage
also might save you money in
trash-removal costs.
If nothing else, this green
idea offers food for thought.

ocratic.
The category is separate from
that of independents affiliated
with no party, but the state does
not provide a party-by-party
breakdown.
State Libertarian Party Chair-
man Lou Jasikoff said there are
about 39,000 registered Libertar-
ians in Pennsylvania. But, he
said, that that figure under-repre-
sents the actual number because
it does not reflect Libertarians
who have registered Republican
to vote for Ron Paul in the pri-
mary election.
For his part, Boneham said he
is coming to Wilkes-Barre to help
build the Libertarian Party be-
cause he believes in its philoso-
phy.
I did some research and I
found out Ive been a Libertarian
all my life, but just realized it the
last few years.
Libertarians stand up for our
constitutional rights and they
fight for our freedoms and the
ability to actually govern our-
selves instead of encouraging the
government to feel like they are
our rulers, he said.
Boneham was born in Detroit,
but his family moved to Indiana
when he was young.
Since his Survivor shows
he was on the program three
times, never winning the compe-
tition he has devoted his life to
giving empowerment talks and
helping the community.
Won $1 million prize
Bonehamwon $1million when
he was voted the most popular
Survivor contestant and he
gave $277,000of it tothe commu-
nity. According to his website, on
his second appearance on the TV
show, the producers asked the
viewers to vote for their favorite
participant and he won going
away.
Boneham took the $1 million
and paid the taxes on the win-
nings ($480,000), took care of his
familys bills and education
($250,000) and split the rest
($270,000) among three local
charities.
What wouldour political lead-
ers do with an extra million dol-
lars? he asked. We paid our tax-
es, took care of our family and
then helped to take care of our
community. I chose to help chil-
dren, my daughter (Raya, 12)
chose the animals, and my wife
(Laura) chose the elderly.
If elected, Boneham said he
will empower the community
and bring empowerment to the
educational system.
I want toteachour youngmen
and women how to go to work,
he said. We have to show them
that if they arent making it in
education, make it in vocation.
Boneham attended Cisco Ju-
nior College in Texas and then
went to San Angelo University to
pursue his nursing degree. With
two classes to go to get his de-
gree, Boneham said he quit and
returned to Indianapolis to care
for his adoptive grandparents
Jenny and Lloyd Hollett.
I always wanted grandpar-
ents, he said. I fell in love with
the Holletts and I wanted to help
them when they needed help.
They hadnochildren, andI never
knew my grandparents.
Before Boneham was on Sur-
vivor, he was a community lead-
er in Indianapolis. For more 20
years he has worked with young
offenders in the court system.
We teach these kids how to
make a legal living, how to have
pride in yourself and how to pro-
vide for yourself, he said. Dont
just have your hand out.

around.
He clearly remembers that on
the site of whats currently the
Mary Kintz Bevevino Library
stood a maintenance building
with a coal smokestack.
I came back a second time a
few months later and that
smokestack was gone. I was
pleased, he chuckled. I saw
there was great promise here.
First undertaking
Soon the presidency was his
and his first undertaking was to
complete the fundraising for
the library, which was opened
in 1999. The makeover of the
campus and the schools repu-
tation were under way.
The campus has really devel-
oped very nicely, MacDowell,
65, said.
In his time at the university,
which was known as College
Misericordia when he arrived,
the campus has greatly expand-
ed and changed.
All together, nine new or ren-
ovated buildings have been add-
ed to Misericordias campus
during his time at the Back
Mountain school, including
converting the former Frontier
Communications Building on
Lake Street into John J. Passan
Hall, home to the schools
health sciences programs.
After the library project, the
next itemon the to-do list was
the partial remodeling of the
historic Administration Build-
ing, which was built in 1924.
It was rededicated as Mercy
Hall, in honor of the founders
and sponsors of Misericordia,
The Sisters of Mercy, in 2002.
Other new buildings include
Sandy and Marlene Insalaco
Hall, Monsignor Andrew
McGowan Hall and an un-
named 118-bed dorm that will
open this fall.
First football team coming
Extensive renovation in ath-
letic facilities were also com-
pleted, and the school will soon
field a football team for the first
time in its 88-year history.
And the enrollment has near-
ly doubled in his time there.
When MacDowell arrived in
1998, Misericordia enrolled
1,050 full-time students. By this
fall, total full-time enrollment
will exceed 1,800.
Mike MacDowells contribu-
tions to Misericordia have been
nothing short of extraordinary,
said John Metz, chairman of the
universitys Board of Trustees.
He has provided unparalleled
leadership to the university and
challenged the board of trust-
ees to do the same. It will be
hard to imagine Misericordia
without him.
MacDowell took the kind
words in stride and shared the
credit with others.
It is unfortunate in many
ways that the president of an in-
stitution receives many of the
accolades for its progress,
MacDowell said. The trustees,
the faculty, the staff, the alumni
and friends of the university
have made the difference here.
One of MacDowells col-
leagues, who himself is retiring
in a fewmonths, noted the work
done at Misericordia over the
past dozen years.
Mike and Tina MacDowell
have enjoyed a long and suc-
cessful tenure at Misericordia,
and they will be hard to replace.
They have made a difference at
the university and in the Wyom-
ing Valley, said Wilkes Univer-
sity President Tim Gilmour.
Those kinds of comments il-
lustrate the path MacDowell set
the school down when he ar-
rived.
While MacDowell said the
students and graduates are his
proudest accomplishments, he
said hes also proud of integrat-
ing the school into the Wyom-
ing Valley community.
Weve made substantial pro-
gress in raising the colleges
presence (in the region), said
MacDowell, a Los Angeles na-
tive who has lived in more than
a half dozen states in his life.
When he first took the reins at
Misericordia, he said the col-
lege was not an integral part of
the greater Wyoming Valley or
Northeast Pennsylvania.
Lifes next phase
The next phase of his life will
include writing, maybe some
teaching and a lot more time to
relax and travel.
Those endeavors help to
make his decision to retire a bit
easier, though he said the deci-
sion for himand his wife Tina to
step aside was a difficult one.
This is hardly an easy deci-
sion to make. Our time here has
been the most enjoyable of our
lives. The friends we have
made, the work we have under-
taken together and the success
the university has enjoyed are
accomplishments about which
we all should be proud, said
MacDowell, who noted the cou-
ple will continue to reside at
Harveys Lake while also spend-
ing some time at their Florida
home in the winter.
By giving advanced notice of
his intention to retire now, he
gives the trustees 14 months to
search for and select his succes-
sor.
UNIVERSITY
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
Misericordia President Michael MacDowell, right, meets with students in Campus Ministry in the
Banks Student Life Center on Thursday shortly after announcing that he will step down.
Michael A. MacDowells departure
as president of Misericordia Uni-
versity will mark fifth time in the
past two years that a president of
a university located in Luzerne or
Lackawanna counties has stepped
down or announced he was doing
so.
Others include:
The Rev. Jack Ryan succeeded
the Rev. Thomas OHara as presi-
dent of Kings College in Wilkes-
Barre in 2011. OHara retired.
The Rev. Kevin Quinn was se-
lected to replace the Rev. Scott. R.
Pilarz as the president of The
University of Scranton in 2011.
Pilarz left to lead Marquette
University in Milwaukee, Wis.
Tim Gilmour will step down as
president of Wilkes University in
Wilkes-Barre on June 30. He will
be replaced the next day by Pa-
trick F. Leahy.
Mark Volk will become presi-
dent at Lackawanna College in
Scranton in July, replacing Ray-
mond S. Angelli, who will retire.
A N O T H E R E X I T
John Metz, chairman of the Mi-
sericordia University Board of
Trustees, said the board will
launch a nationwide search for a
new president in the coming
weeks. The executive committee
of the Board of Trustees has
begun to develop the process the
university will use to select a new
president, Metz said.
The trustees have chosen AGB
Search of Washington, D.C., to
conduct the search. A search
committee, chaired by trustee
Chris Borton of Borton-Lawson
Engineering, will include trustees,
faculty, staff, students and alumni.
The new president will begin
serving July 1, 2013.
P R E S I D E N T I A L S E A R C H
gardless of how long theyve
workedfor thecounty, saidcoun-
ty retirement coordinator Rick
Hummer.
Hummer said he was equally
surprised to learn about the
loophole when he started work-
ing in his position.
The requirement forcedthe re-
tirement board this week to ap-
prove John Gilligans $71.60
monthly pension because he left
county employment when he
was over 60, even though he
worked only two years as the
countys appointed sheriff.
At least three other pensions
for former employees over age
60 were approved this year to
date.
These employees each had
one year and nine months of em-
ployment and will receive the
following monthly pensions: Da-
vid Wilde, prison, $143; Frank
Yenalevitch, court tipstaff, $156;
andMaryLouWoerffel, court ad-
ministration, $97.
Hummer said theres no quick
way to generate a report on the
cost of all pensions permitted by
the over-60 requirement.
Retirement board members
asked Hummer during Wednes-
days meeting to direct solicitor
Donald Karpowich to research
the law and determine if the
county has the power to reject
similar future requests under
home rule.
Second obscure provision
Another obscure pension law
requirement came to light
Wednesday when the pension of
former county District Attorney
Jackie Musto Carroll was up for
approval.
Musto Carroll has 12 years of
county employment and is 52,
county records show. Employees
who dont have 20 years of em-
ployment normally must wait
until they turn 60 to collect a
pension.
But Hummer said the pension
lawallows employees with more
than eight years of service to col-
lect pensions early if theyre in-
voluntarily eliminated through a
layoff or loss of a re-electioncam-
paign.
MustoCarroll, wholost toSte-
fanie Salavantis in November,
will receive a $1,005 monthly
pension. Hummer said that
amount is 77 percent of what she
wouldbe eligible toreceive if she
had waited until she turns 60 to
collect.
Karpowich also will research
this requirement to see if chang-
es are permitted under home
rule, Hummer said.
Retirement board member
Robert Lawton, who also is the
county manager, also ques-
tioned Wednesday why two em-
ployees were permitted to buy
back credit from previous part-
time county employment to
boost future pensions.
State law allows employees to
buy back past full-time county
employment if they left and later
returned to work, but past retire-
ment board members also have
questioned the inclusion of part-
time employment in the require-
ment.
Hummer said Karpowich will
research the matter but had al-
ready concluded the buy-back of
part-time work must be permit-
ted.
Researching changes
Some county citizens and offi-
cials believe the state home rule
law allows changes in pension
benefits and requirements for
employees hired in the future,
though a firm legal opinion has
not been discussed at any public
county meetings.
The state law says home rule
governments may not diminish
the pension rights and privileges
of former or present employees.
Several county council mem-
bers have said they want to ex-
plore the discontinuation of
guaranteed pensions for future
employees by switching themto
401(k) plans.
PENSION
Finance Chief Vic Mazziotti totry
to come up with the subsidy.
Some county officials were tak-
en aback last month when they
learned the 2011 subsidy had not
been paid.
The county has gradually de-
layed paying the pension subsidy
in recent years. Three years ago,
the prior-year subsidy was paid
the second week of January. Last
year, the payment wasnt re-
leased until the end of February.
The funds actuary projected
the county owes another $8.3
million for 2012.
Mazziotti said the county will
be short on cash until more reve-
nue flows in fromproperty taxes,
the countys primary funding
stream.
The countys $122.6 million
budget counts on $90.3 million
from 2012 property taxes. As of
Thursday morning, the county
received$25.57 million, Mazziot-
ti said.
Tax bills were delayed because
the new council needed time to
amend the budget adopted by
former commissioners.
Mazziotti expects an influx in
tax payments near the end of the
discount period, when taxes are
marked down 2 percent.
The discount period ends two
months after bills are issued, and
the bills were mailed between
Feb. 24 and March 31, depending
onthemunicipality, officials said.
Mazziotti said partial payment
may be an option if the county is
unable to turn over the entire
$6.1 million in May.
Taxpayers have been stabiliz-
ingthecountypensionfundsince
2002because employee contribu-
tions and investment returns
havent kept pace with guaran-
teed payouts to present and fu-
ture retirees.
ASSETS
blood, clothing or human re-
mains in the building, just down
the street from Etans home, po-
lice spokesman Paul Browne
said. The work is expected to
take up to five days.
Investigators received infor-
mation over the past fewmonths
that Etans remains might be bur-
ied in the basement of the build-
ing, which at the time the boy
disappeared housed the work-
space of a carpenter who was
thought to have been friendly
with the boy, a law enforcement
official told The Associated
Press.
The official spoke to the AP on
condition of anonymity because
the investigationis ongoing. Two
other law enforcement officials
confirmed an FBI dog detected
the scent of remains at the build-
ing over the past few weeks.
Etans disappearance drew na-
tional attention to child safety,
ushered in a generation of par-
ents who became afraid to send
their kids out alone and helped
fuel a movement to publicize
missing childrens cases. Etans
face was among the first to ap-
pear on milk cartons. President
Ronald Reagan declared May 25,
the day of his disappearance, Na-
tional Missing Childrens Day.
Etans parents, Stanley and Ju-
lie Patz, became outspokenadvo-
cates for missing children. For
years, they refused to change
their phone number, in the hope
that Etan was alive somewhere,
and might call. They never
moved, although they obtained a
court order in 2001declaring the
boy dead.
Stanley Patz didnt respond to
phone calls and email messages
Thursday. A man who answered
the buzzer at the familys apart-
ment said they wouldnt be
speaking to the media.
Noone has ever beenprosecut-
ed for Etans disappearance, but
Stanley Patz sued an incarcerat-
eddrifter andadmittedchild-mo-
lester, Jose Ramos, who had
been dating Etans babysitter
around the time he disappeared.
Ramos, who is not the carpen-
ter whose workspace was being
searched, denied killing the
child, but in 2004 a Manhattan
civil judge ruled him to be re-
sponsible for the death, largely
due to his refusal to contest the
case.
Ramos is scheduled to be re-
leased from prison in Pennsylva-
nia in November, when he finish-
es serving most of a 20-year-sen-
tence for abusing an 8-year-old
boy. His pending freedom is one
of the factors that has given new
urgency to the case.
Investigators have looked at a
longlist of possible suspects over
the years, and have excavated in
other places before without suc-
cess.
The 13-foot by 62-foot base-
ment space being searched
Thursday sits beneath several
clothingboutiques. Investigators
began by removing drywall parti-
tions so they could get to brick
walls that were exposed back in
1979 when the boy disappeared,
Browne said.
Browne said the excavation
was part of a review of the case,
which was reopened by the Man-
hattan district attorney two
years ago.
This was a shocking case at
the time and it hasnt been re-
solved, Browne said.

If old-time hockey is back, its
left many from Al Arbour to
Wayne Gretzky and even Don
Cherry questioning whether
they like the gritty sequel.
Stopping well short of making
comparisons to the bloody, gap-
toothed Broad Street Bully era of
the 1970s, Arbour is upset with
the head-
hunting hits
and suspen-
sion-a-day
headlines
dominating
the first
round of the
NHL play-
offs.
It surprises me, the retired
hall of fame coach said by phone
fromhis home in Florida. Never
mind what it was in our day. Its
getting carried away. Theyre get-
ting carried away with every-
thing. Theyre reckless in what
theyre doing right now.
Watchinggameseverynight on
TV, Arbour was bothered seeing
stars Sidney Crosby and Claude
Giroux exchange punches during
Game3of thePenguins-Flyers se-
rieslast weekend. Andhewaspar-
ticularly upset in seeing Phoenix
forward Raffi Torres go unpenal-
ized after launching himself into
Marian Hossa with such force
that the Chicago forward had to
be cartedoff the ice onTuesday.
Yes, it does bother me, Ar-
bour said. It bothers me a lot.
Hes not alone in wondering
whether todays game is crossing
thelinefromthrillingtothuggery.

by howstar players are being tar-

They talk about the Flyers
back in the 70s, guys like Bobby
Kelly, Moose Dupont and Dave
Schultz. But you never really saw
those guys go after guys like Bob-

just sort of honest, hard, rough-
nosedhockey.

Joey Mormina is going to make some
changes to the contact list on his cell
phone.
More like deletions.
The Calder Cup playoffs start tonight,
and that means its time to put friend-
ships aside and treat opponents like the
hated rivals they are.
Thats Morminas plan as his Wilkes-
Barre/Sranton Penguins take on the
HersheyBears for thesixthplayoff series
between the two East Division rivals.
I think everyone feels that way. If you
have friends on the other team, you de-
lete their number for two weeks and you
dont talk until its all said and done,
Mormina said. For those two weeks,
you have to ignore your friendships and
play physical against whoevers on the
ice. Everyone feels that way.
Mormina is the only Penguinwho was
with the team the last time they faced
Hershey in the playoffs 2009. In that
series, theBears tookthefirst twogames
while the Penguins won the next three.
The Bears ended strong, however,
shutting out the Penguins in Games 6
and 7 to win the series.
So what can the Penguins players ex-
pect when they face a Hershey team in
the playoffs for the first time?
Intensity, Mormina said. A playoff
series in general is more intense, but
with Hershey especially theres a lot of
hatred both ways.
A DIFFERENT HERSHEY?
Winger Geoff Walker has seen plenty
of the Hershey Bears in the regular sea-
son, but he is one of many Penguins that
have yet to face the Bears in a playoff se-
ries. Does he expect the postseason
Bears to be any different from the team
he faced in the regular season?
Imnot sure. Theyve had a lot of suc-
cess and have won a few Cups. They

Both men didnt hesitate to come up with a

Penn States new strength and conditioning
program, head coach Bill OBrien and
strengthcoachCraig Fitzgeraldbothcame up
with the same example.
No, its not too early. You
can see where Fitz and his
assistants and his program
have had a direct effect on
guys already, like Adam
Gress, OBrien said. Right
now you can see that offen-
sive tackle for us has had a

one way to looking more like a V-shape, and
thats what youre looking for in your line-

I kind of made the joke that I hope he stays
for the season because he may leave for the
NFL tomorrow, Fitzgerald said of Gress. I
was just kidding around, but he looks like an
NFL lineman. He looks great. Hes done a
good job.

KINGSTONWhenStaceyWarga re-
ached the first base bag, she didnt run
through the bag as she normally would
have.
And it was the right thing to do.
Warga turned in time to see Kaitlyn
Kaluzny at home after scoring the tying
run and Chelsea Skrepenak diving into
the plate with the winning run as Holy
Redeemer outlasted Wyoming Area 6-5
in12 innings Thursday in Wyoming Val-
ley Conference softball.
I was ecstatic,
Warga said. Just ev-
erything about that
game was fantastic.
Warga smashed a
line drive that War-
riors first baseman
Kate Kross was able to
knock down, giving her team a chance
of keeping the speedy Skrepenak from
scoring. But when the ball was tracked
down, the throwto the plate and quick,
sweeping tag by catcher Nicole Turner
were too late, thanks to a head-first dive
toward the back corner of the dish.
When Stacey got up there, we knew
if she got a hit that Chelsea was scor-
ing, Royals coach Mark Senchak said.
That kids got great speed.
The game was exceptionally played
by both teams, tied at 1through nine in-
nings thanks to exceptional pitching
and defense. Warga earned the win,
throwing127pitches, 99for strikes. She
walked one and struck out three.

BUL L E T I N BOARD
In tonights $30,000 Bobby Weiss Final, the last of the series, I am
going with longshot PLEureka to take the top prize. Trained by Hen-
rik Lundell, the four-year old son of Kadabra had an impossible jour-
ney last week, finishing a well beaten fifth from the tough nine post.
This after a dominating performance the week prior, where he won
wrapped up in 1:56.3. Grant it driver Marcus Johansson will once
again have his hands full with another outside draw(slot 8), but with
an aggressive steer out of the starting gate I believe this is certainly a
live trotter worthy of a solid look in that tenth race.

STANDINGS/STATS
WASHINGTON The
Roger Clemens perjury retrial
could turn into an ad hoc fo-
rum on the general problem of
drug use in baseball, depend-
ing on the outcome of the lat-
est lawyers spat over the land-
mark congressional hearing
that eventually landed the sev-
en-time Cy Young Award win-
ner in court.
As jury selection inched for-
ward Thursday the panel
was narrowed to 36, and open-
ing arguments were set for
Monday afternoon the gov-
ernment responded to plans
by Clemens lawyers to chal-
lenge whether the 2008 hear-
ing in which Clemens testified
was a competent tribunal.
Fine, responded the govern-
ment. If the defense does that,
prosecutors should be able to
introduce all sorts of evidence
to show why Congress called
the hearing. In a filing with
the court, the government
said it should be allowed to
have testimony about drug
use by other major league
players, including more de-
tailed testimony regarding the
use of steroids by Jose Canse-
co as well as testimony relat-
ed to teenage suicides attri-
buted to steroid use.
Put simply: defendant can-
not have it both ways, the
governments filing said.
Clemens lawyer, Rusty Har-
din, has indicated throughout
the week that he plans to raise
doubts about the hearing. Har-
din told one prospective juror:
Theres going to be a chal-
lenge by the defense as to the
propriety of the hearing. ...
and the way it was conduct-
ed. Hardin has filed a brief
suggesting the hearing wasnt
competent because it wasnt
an attempt to gather facts that
could help Congress do its job
of creating laws.
At the same time, the Clem-
ens team doesnt want its cli-
ent to be a victimof any sort of
guilt by association with oth-
er players. His lawyers have al-
ready asked the court to bar
Clemens former teammate,
Andy Pettitte, from testifying
that he received human
growth hormone from Brian
McNamee, the same trainer
who says he injected Clemens
with steroids and HGH.
U.S. District Judge Reggie
Walton is expected to hear
oral arguments on both mo-
tions Monday. He had hoped
to rule on the Pettitte matter
Thursday, but the time-con-
suming jury selection took up
the entire court day before the
judge cut the session short to
attend a previously scheduled
engagement.
Walton also plans to select
the final 12 jurors and four al-
ternates on Monday morning,
the fifth day of the trial. Thats
one day longer than it took to
seat the jury for Clemens first
trial last July.
Clemens is accused of lying
when he said he never used
steroids or HGH at the 2008
congressional hearing and at a
deposition that preceded it.
Last years mistrial was called
after the government showed
the jury evidence that had
been ruled inadmissible.
The specific charges are
that Clemens obstructed Con-
gress, made false statements
and committed perjury, and
Hardin this week frequently
gave prospective jurors what
sounded like a preview of his
closing argument as he spoke
about the various standards of
proof.
Somebody might be wrong
in what they say under oath,
Hardin told one prospect
Thursday, but it might not be
a deliberate or intentional lie.
Clemens
new pitch
could be
trouble
Government may take
swings with other players if
past hearing is questioned.

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
Susan Hao of Crestwood com-
petes in the long jump durng a
meet with Wyoming Valley
West on Thursday.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. Another
game, another strong pitching
performance and another win for
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees.
For the second straight day the
Yankees got a stellar outing from
their starter. On Thursday, Adam
Warren threwsix innings only al-
lowing one run on four hits while
fanning five to lead Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre to a 5-3 victory over
Rochester at Frontier Field. War-
rens start followedD.J. Mitchells
eight shutout innings in Wednes-
days win against the Red Wings.
Warren, who threw101pitches
and 61 for strikes, saw his ERA
drop more than two runs from
7.45 to 5.17 in his second straight
quality start. Warren wasnt the
only big contributor for the Yan-
kees as Steve Pearce boomed a
three-run home run in the bot-
tom of the fifth to break a 1-1 tie
giving the Yankees the lead for
good.
Scoring started in the bottom
of the first for the Yankees, who
plated a run without a hit while
taking advantage of two Roches-
ter errors. Ray Kruml reached on
an error, stole second and ad-
vanced to third on a throwing er-
ror by catcher Rene Rivera.
Kruml then scored on a groun-
dout by Francisco Cervelli for a
1-0 lead.
The Red Wings evened the
score at 1-1 in the top of the fifth.
After Mike Hollimon tripledwith
one out, he scored when Darin
Mastrioanni singled over the
drawn in infield.
That run ended the Yankees 15
1/3 inning scoreless streak dat-
ing back to Tuesdays game. War-
rengot ina jamlater inthe inning
after Ben Revere reached on an
error by shortstop Ramiro Pena
and Mastrioanni was on third.
But Warren struck out Brian Do-
zier to end the threat.
Then came Pearces two-out,
three-run home run in the bot-
tom of the frame. He drove a 1-1
pitch over the left field wall for a
4-1 lead and his second longball
of the season; he now has seven
RBI on the season.
BACK WITH SWB
With Cody Eppley being called
up to NewYork on Thursday, the
Yankees signed Nelson Figueroa
toa minor league deal andhe was
assignedtothe Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre roster.
Figueroa, who is currently on
the temporary inactive list with
the Yankees while he prepares for
the season, pitched in a simulat-
ed game at Frontier Field on
Thursday. When he finally takes
the field for SWB he will be the
fifth player to play for the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons
and the Yankees. Figueroa suited
upfor the RedBarons in2000and
2001going 8-6 with a 2.95 ERAin
21 games for the Barons.

knowhowto win in the playoffs,
Walker said. Its going to be
tough for us. But once we get to
our game, keep themoff the pow-
er play and stay five-on-five, I like
our chances.
Goaltender Brad Thiessen
agreedthat staying out of the box
is critical against a Bears power
play that was tops in the league.
Other than that, he really doesnt
expect any surprises come play-
off time.
We know going in that they
have a pretty skilled group up
front. We played them12 times in
the regular season, and there
arent too many secrets right
now, Thiessen said.
THE GREAT GOALTENDING
MYSTERY
Penguins head coach John
Hynes is keeping a secret. After
Thursdays practice he admitted
he knows who is going to start in
net. Brad Thiessen or Scott Mun-
roe?
Ill name it after morning
skate (today), Hynes said.
Why wait?
We feel like both guys can
play. Its a different situation go-
ing into the playoffs with how
you prepare the day before, your
routine, he said. Its important
that both guys have the mindset
that theyre going to play.
NHL PLAYOFF TAKE
The physical play during the
first weekof the NHLplayoffs has
generated a buzz. Ratings are up
and so is the talk. Hynes said the
increased attention is a good
thing, but player safety has been
compromised at times.
Penguins captain Ryan Craig
saidtheroughstuff is just areflec-
tion of how badly teams want to
win in the playoffs.
I think the hockeys been
great, he said. Were playing a
competitive sport where the win-
ner moves on. Anytime anything
went over the line, its been dealt
with by the NHL. I dont think as
a fan or a hockey player that we
want to take away that competi-
tive edge and that will. Every se-
ries has that passion that you
want.
Does Hynes want the same lev-
el of physicality from his players
in the Hershey series?
Yes to a degree.
They are going to be gritty,
competitive games, but all of
your aggressiveness has to be to
impact the game in a positive
way, Hynes said.
QUICK HITS
The new five-game format for
the first round shouldnt make
much difference in how players
approach the series. Craig said
its easy to think a shorter series
is a big deal, but the goal is still
the same.
Its still a series and we al-
ready know we have to get to
three, he said. We still take it
one game at a time, one period at
a time.
Hynes agreed with the one
game at a time approach. You
dont really look at it as a series.
Every game is going to be differ-
ent. You just have to win the one
thats in front of you, he said.
PENGUINS
Continued fromPage 1B
POSITION-BY-POSITION BREAKDOWN
FORWARDS
Penguins The Penguins offense scored 235 goals sixth best in the AHL. They were led by 27-goal
scorers Ben Street and Bryan Lerg. Next highest was Geoff Walker with 18 goals. Although they dont have
the number of dynamic goal scorers that Hershey does, the Penguins forwards are at their best when
they are clicking as a group. That means effective forechecking, puck possession down low and getting
shots through with traffic in front. It all adds up to a balanced scoring attack, one that resulted with 12
forwards registering 10 or more goals in the regular season.
Hershey The Bears 244 goals was second in the league, and they were led by Ryan Potulny (who led
last seasons playoffs with 26 points for Binghamton), who had 33 tallies. They also had four players score
more than 50 points, including AHL scoring champion Chris Bourque (27-66-93). But one of those players,
Keith Aucoin and his 70 points in 43 games, is gone. Hes up with Washington for right now. Still, even
without Aucoin the Hershey attack is a potent one.
Edge Draw. The Bears have prolific goal scorers while the Penguins have balance and depth.
DEFENSE
Penguins The blueline was faced with a stiff challenge this season when Thiessen was up in Pittsburgh
and Munroe sat out with an injury late in the year. In front of rookie Patrick Killeen, the defense stepped
up to maintain the ship. Brian Strait perhaps the most reliable blueliner, and skilled rookie Simon
Despres are up with Pittsburgh. Still, veteran Joey Mormina, along with Robert Bortuzzo and Cody Wild
are more than capable in their own end. Alex Grant emerged as a serious threat on the point, totaling 37
points on the season. Veteran Alexandre Picard is as steady as they come in both zones, and he brings a
wealth of veteran leadership.
Hershey The Bears defenseman can put up points, led by Patrick McNeill (10-31-41) and Tomas Kundratek
(12 goals). But defensively, the group could be a liability for Hershey. Four of the Bears top defensemen
were a minus on the season.
Edge Penguins. Plenty of veteran presence plus the offensive threats make the Penguins defense corps
well-rounded.
GOALTENDING
Penguins Scott Munroe and Brad Thiessen have both won playoff series in their careers. Experience
isnt an issue. Neither is skill. Munroe posted 19 wins and five shutouts tied for second-best in the AHL.
Thiessen had 23 wins and earned an extended stint with Pittsburgh this season. Against Hershey both
were average. Thiessen was 5-3-1 with a 2.86 GAA and a .884 save percentage. In three games, Munroe
won two and had a 3.16 GAA and a .889 save percentage.
Hershey While Washington stays alive against Boston in its series, Hershey is without both of the
goaltenders they relied on for the regular season. If Washington is eliminated soon, Braden Holtby and
Dany Sabourin should return and the Bears net, especially with Holtby, is looking pretty good. But for
right now the Bears will go with a tandem of Daren Machesney a journeyman who spent most of the last
few seasons in the ECHL, and rookie Scott Greenham.
Edge Penguins. With Holtby and Sabourin up, its a no-brainer. If they return, it might give the Bears a
slight edge. Still, Munroe and Thiessen are unflappable and about as good a tandem that the Penguins
have had in quite some time.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Penguins The power play got into a rhythm this season of putting its big players in front of the net while
cranking in shots from the point. It worked. They finished the season with an 18.8 percent success rate,
10th best in the league. The penalty kill was inconsistent, finishing at 81.6 percent and 22nd overall. It can
play better.
Hershey The Bears power play was tops in the AHL at 25.5 percent. Its deadly. And its almost
unstoppable if Aucoin comes back from Washington. The penalty kill was also strong at 84.4 percent
fourth best in the AHL.
Edge Hershey. The top power play and fourth-best penalty kill is about as effective as you can get.
PIVOTAL PLAYER
Penguins Jason Williams. He has his name on the Stanley Cup, but thats not all. Williams has 27 NHL
playoff games to his credit and is a crafty veteran. He is masterful with the puck, deadly from the point
and perhaps the best playmaker the Penguins have.
Hershey Jacob Micflikier. He was a member of the Charlotte team that eliminated the Penguins from
last seasons playoffs. This season he produced at almost a point-per-game pace for the Bears, and can be
overlooked among Hersheys other high profile forwards. Micflikier also adds a physical, agitating style
which is invaluable in the playoffs.
PREDICTION
Without Aucoin and Holtby, the Penguins win it in four. If they do make a return at some point in the
series, the Penguins take it in five.
long-time commentator on
CBCs Hockey Night in Canada,
drew the line when it came to
blindside hits such as the one
Torres delivered, and Rangers
forward Carl Hagelins elbow
that knocked out Senators cap-
tainDaniel AlfredssoninGame2
of their series.
To me, theyre cheapshots,
Cherry said on his Coachs Cor-
ner segment Wednesday. They
are not warriors whenyoublind-
side guys like that.
Throughthefirst eight days of
the playoffs, nine players have
beenissuedsuspensions, includ-
ingTorres whowill learnwheth-
er his indefinite ban will be ex-
tended following a hearing Fri-
day. Two other players, Pen-
guins coachDanBylsma andthe
Ottawa Senators have also been
fined.
Penalty minutes are up over
previous playoff first rounds. Ac-
cording to STATS LLC, teams
areaveraging18penaltyminutes
a game this year, whichis pacing
at the highest rate since 1998,
when the first-round average
was 20.1 minutes. Leading the
way is the Flyers-Penguins slug-
fest of a series, which has pro-
duced 282 penalty minutes in
four games.
Yet the rise is coming on the
heels of one of the least penal-
izedregularseasonsof theNHLs
modern era. Teams averaged
11.2 penalty minutes per game
last season, the lowest total inat
least 23 years, according to
STATS.
And it was a season in which
the NHL made strides in ad-
dressing hits to the head after
numerous star players Cros-
by, Philadelphias James van
Riemsdyk, Vancouvers Daniel
Sedin, Chicago captain Jonath-
anToewsandSabresgoalieRyan
Miller missed stretches due
to concussion-relatedinjuries.
Its emotion, Sharks coach
Todd McLellan said referring to
the physical nature of the play-
offs. I think everybody believes
they have a chance right now.
Passionate groups, all 16 of
them, worked hard to get here
andtheyretryingtofindanedge
any way they can.
TheNHLschief disciplinarian
Brendan Shanahan has been
faulted for being inconsistent.
The criticism began when he
fined Nashville captain Shea
Weber the league maximum
$2,500 for being reckless in
punching and then shoving De-
troits Henrik Zetterberg head-
first into the glass in Game 1 of
their series.
Though Zetterberg wasnt
hurt, Shanahansrulingledques-
tions regarded what merited a
suspension.
Right nowitsalwaysgoingto
be blurred lines. Its never going
tobeblackandwhite,Predators
defenseman Kevin Klein said.
But hopefully, guys come to
terms with the rules and maybe
back off just a little bit.
NBC hockey analyst Pierre
McGuire believes Shanahan
missedanopportunity.
I wish he suspended Shea
Weber for a game. I think that
wouldve sent a message around
the league, McGuire said. He
didnt do that, so things kind of
startedto move pretty quickly.
McGuire does credit Shana-
hanforhowhesrespondedsince
by issuing multiple-game sus-
pensions to several players, and
one-game bans to such stars as
Washingtons Nicklas Back-
strom and Pittsburghs James
Neal.
And McGuire was impressed
further by how the officials re-
sponded in setting the tone by
callingeight penaltiesinthefirst
period alone of Pittsburghs 10-3
win over Philadelphia on
Wednesday.
The referees conducted
themselves unbelievably well
last night and created probably
thetemplatefortherestof these-
ries, he said.
Players know if they act up,
theyre done.
E-mail messages left with the
NHLwere not returned.
The fisticuffs havent turned
off fans. NBC announced that
more than 18.4 million viewers
have watched the playoffs
throughTuesday. Thatsupnear-
ly5millionover thesameperiod
as last year.
FIGHTS
crowd of about 200 fans, faculty
and friends.
I just felt like it was time for
me to step down knowing that
Holly was going to be in great
hands, Summitt said. Shes a
great coach and you know Im
going to continue to support
her. You know, its never a good
time, but you have to find the
time that you think is the right
time and that is now.
She will become Tennessees
new head coach emeritus
with the school paying her the
$1 million bonus she had been
due once she coached her 40th
season.
There were season-long ques-
tions about Summitts health,
but the mood at the press con-
ference was upbeat. Summitt,
who turns 60 in June, joked how
coming to work every day in her
newrole andstayingaroundstu-
dents may help keep her young.
Im getting ready to turn the
big one ... yeah 30, Summitt
said, after which someone from
the crowd chimed in. Hardly!
Summitt won more games
than anyone else in NCAA col-
lege basketball during her 38
years at Tennessee.
And while the ride on the
coaching carousel may be over
for her, there are more challeng-
es and honors ahead.
The White House says later
this year Summitt will receive
the Presidential Medal of Free-
dom, the nations highest civil-
ian honor.
President Barack Obama said
Summitt is an inspiration as
the coach who has won more
games than anyone else in
NCAA college basketball histo-
ry and for her willingness to
speak so openly and coura-
geously about her battle with
Alzheimers.
Obviously, I didnt see it
coming, but thats a tremendous
honor, Summitt said of the
Medal of Freedom honor.
In her new role at Tennessee,
Summitt will report to athletic
director Dave Hart.
I made a choice early in my
career to challenge myself to
step up my game eachandevery
day, Summitt said. You can be
sure I will take this same atti-
tude into my new role as head
coach emeritus and continue to
teach our players the same com-
mitment. I can promise you la-
dies Im here for you. Trust me
that that will happen.
She capped her opening re-
marks by calling Warlick, her
former player and assistant the
past 27 years, over and handing
over her whistle. Summitt said
it was time, as she hugged War-
lick with the crowd giving them
a standing ovation.
I know this works because
Ive heard it a lot of times, War-
lick said, referring to the whis-
tle.
Warlick isnt the only coach
on the move. Tyler Summitt,
Pats son, will be an assistant
womens coach at Marquette.
This was her decision, and I
think that she took time after
the season, thought about ev-
erything and the thing my
moms always taught me is to
put the team before yourself,
Tyler Summitt said. She really
felt like this was the best thing
for the Lady Vol program. Shes
still going to be in a mentoring
role.
Tennessee football coach De-
rek Dooley, mens basketball
coach Cuonzo Martin along
with members of the Lady Vols
basketball team were among
those in the crowd.
Summitt tried to showpeople
during the season that it was
possible to function even in the
face of dementia and Alzheim-
ers. She hadthe blessing of Ten-
nessee Chancellor Jimmy
Cheek to keep coaching.
She delegated duties to War-
lick, the associate head coach
who directed the Lady Vols dur-
inggames andaddressedreport-
ers postgame with other assist-
ants taking onmuchmore of the
workload in an emotionally
draining season that felt like a
farewell tour it wound up being.
Yet Summitts every move
was studied to see how she felt,
down to how many officials she
yelled at or her icy glares at a
player while overseeing a Divi-
sion I program with a busy na-
tional travel schedule.
SUMMITT
the tough-luck loss, working 11-
plus innings and fanning 12 in a
168-pitch effort (108 for strikes).
She had two stretches where she
retired eight consecutive Royals.
During the game, I knew the
team had my back, Warga said.
I didnt feel it (all the pitches)
then. I feel it now.
She did pitch a great game,
Warriors coach Stephanie Griffin
said. She kept her focus and the
defense played well behind her.
For the majority of the game, we
played pretty solid defense.
Holy Redeemer (3-3 WVC)
shortstop Sydney Kotch had sev-
eral fine plays, including a lung-
ing grab of a line drive to end the
12th, stranding Warriors on sec-
ond and third.
Wyoming Area (4-2) shortstop
Serra Degnan turned a double
play to end the 10th, catching a
line drive and doubling the run-
ner off first by throwing a laser
across the diamond. And War-
riors second baseman Emily
Wolfgang made a sliding catch in
the right fieldgrass ona looper to
finish the eighth inning.
They are one tough team,
Senchak said of Wyoming Area.
Alex was tough in the circle and
they just wouldnt go away.
Wyoming Area left 11 runners
on base, including two in each of
the third, fifth and 12th innings.
The Warriors have allowed just
eight runs in their first six league
games, not countingthe tiebreak-
er innings Thursday.

earlyfavorite tostart at left tackle
in 2012.
Thats where Gress will likely
be at the start of Saturdays Blue-
White Game at Beaver Stadium,
protecting the blindside of
whoeverhappenstobeat quarter-
back in the early portion of the
scrimmage.
Needless to say, the praise he
received from his coaches was a
boost.
That was kind of flattering,
Gress said. It was pretty cool to
hear. Encouragingmorethanany-
thing to hear someone say some-
thing like that. I dont want to say
it was the credit that I deserve,
but for them to say something
positive in terms of the gains I
made, that was great to hear.
After starting the spring at
right tackle, Gress has been tak-
ing most of the first-teamreps on
the left side the past few weeks
with senior Mike Farrell and red-
shirt freshman Donovan Smith
splitting time on the right.
Not bad for a guy who has only
seen the field in12 games so far
sixin2010andanothersixin2011.
Listedat 6-foot-6, Gress says he
hasgoneupto310poundsandhas
reducedhis overall bodyfat while
crediting Fitzgeralds program.
Overall what Coach Fitz has
done with me personally has
helped me become more power-
ful and stronger overall, said
Gress, who also spoke highly of
new position coach Mac
McWhorter. Its in all regions of
the body. Its hard to specify any
one thing.
That training, he said, has
transferred over to the practice
fieldandhas made a worldof dif-
ference withhis burst off the line
and his punch move.
PennState certainlyhopes that
it all transfers over into the sea-
son.
For the third straight year,
there is uncertainty about who
will be playing quarterback. And
the offensive line charged with
protectingwhoever wins that bat-
tle returns just one starter in cen-
ter Matt Stankiewitch.
Gress is optimistic that he can
join Stankiewitch by the time the
September opener against Ohio
rolls around.
Of course that crosses my
mind. Its nice to think about,
Gress said. But then I also have
toremember that its aday-by-day
process, and its only the spring. I
havetokeepworkingthesummer
andimprovemyself evenmore, so
by the end of fall camp Imeven a
better player than I am right
now.

NEWARK, N.J. Martin
Brodeur bounced back from
his shortest postseason per-
formance with a record-setting
24th Stanley Cup playoff shut-
out, leading the New Jersey
Devils to a 4-0 victory over the
Florida Panthers Thursday
night, tying their first-round
series at 2-all.
Brodeur made 26 saves in
taking over sole possession of
the postseason shutout mark
from Patrick Roy. The 39-year-
old goaltender also added his
second assist of the series,
giving him10 for his career,
four behind all-time leader
Grant Fuhr.
The effort came two days
after Brodeur was lifted after
giving up three goals in 22:18
in a 4-3 loss.
Zach Parise, Steve Bernier,
Travis Zajac and Ilya Koval-
chuk scored for New Jersey.
Game 5 of the best-of-7
series will be Saturday in Flor-
ida.
Brodeur made at least six
outstanding saves in winning
his 101st career postseason
game, while seemingly bene-
fiting from some early luck
when Sean Bergenheim hit a
goalpost.
Another difference in this
game was the special teams.
Florida, which was 6 of 10 on
the power play in the first
three games, failed to connect
on six chances with the extra
man, while the Devils convert-
ed twice.
Florida had an excuse of
sorts. Defenseman Jason Gar-
rison, one of the quarterbacks
of the Panthers power play,
was sidelined with a lower
back injury.
Brodeur, however, made his
best saves in 5-on-5 situations.
He stopped Tomas Fleisch-
mann on a break in in the first
period and defenseman Dmi-
try Kulikov one-on-one in the
second with a delayed penalty
about to be called on New
Jersey.
Brodeur also stopped Kris
Versteeg as the trailer on a
3-on-2 latter in the second and
his best save might have been
a snapping glove on former
teammate John Madden in the
third period.
Parise scored the only goal
the Devils needed on a power
play at 6:08 of the second
period on a double deflection.
Zajac got a piece of Marek
Zidlicky point shot and Parise
moved it again to get it past
Scott Clemmensen.
Capitals 2, Bruins 1
WASHINGTON Playoff
rookie Braden Holtby followed
up a shaky outing with a su-
perb one by making 44 saves
Thursday night, and Alexan-
der Semin scored the go-ahead
goal, leading the Washington
Capitals to a victory over the
reigning Stanley Cup cham-
pion Boston Bruins that tied
the first-round series at two
games apiece.
Marcus Johansson put the
puck past Tim Thomas less
than 11/2 minutes after the
opening faceoff, but Bostons
Rich Peverley tied it later in
the first period. Semin put
Washington ahead for good
with 1:17 left in the second on
a power-play goal, his second
score of the series.
The best-of-seven Eastern
Conference series shifts back
to Boston for Game 5 on Sat-
urday. Game 6 will be in Wash-
ington on Sunday.

INDIANAPOLIS The se-
cret is out.
AndrewLuck will be the Indi-
anapolis Colts new quarter-
back.
A person with direct knowl-
edge of the situation said Thurs-
day that the Colts have notified
Luck that they plan to take the
Stanford quarterback with the
No. 1 pick in next weeks NFL
draft barring some unforeseen
event between now and then.
The person spoke on condition
of anonymity because the team
has not publicly disclosed its
plan.
Its hardly a surprise that the
Colts are turning to Luck as the
cornerstone of their massive re-
building project. Luck was pro-
jected as the No. 1 pick in the
2011 draft before returning to
school for his fourth season. He
gave up his final year of college
eligibility to enter this years
draft, which was dubbed the An-
drew Luck Sweepstakes from
the start.
Contract negotiations are not
expected to begin before the
draft, the person familiar with
the situation told the AP. Will
Wilson, Lucks agent, did not
immediately respond to phone
messages or text messages
Thursday.
Weve exhausted the proc-
ess, new Indy general manager
Ryan Grigson told reporters
Wednesday. Weve pretty much
made up our minds and were
going to go from there. We feel
good about it and well go from
there.
Grigson acknowledged that
the Colts made their decision a
little while ago, though he de-
clined to say
whether the
Colts would
take Luck or
Heisman Tro-
phy winner
Robert Griffin
III of Baylor.
The secret
lasted less than 24 hours. ESPN-
.com first reported that the
Colts had informed Luck they
will take him. That would likely
send Griffin to the Redskins,
who traded a first- and second-
round pick this year and first-
rounders each of the next two
years to St. Louis to move into
the No. 2 slot.
Luck faces a challenging sit-
uation in Indy, which went 2-14
last season after Peyton Man-
ning was lost with a season-end-
ing injury that required neck
surgery.
Manning was released March
7 and eventually signed with
Denver, andLuckwill nowserve
as Mannings successor.
He may get off toa roughstart
through no fault of his own.
I believe Andrew may strug-
gle early simply because of the
surrounding cast playing with
him, said Colts former vice
chairman Bill Polian, acknowl-
edging both rookies will have
their share of problems in 2012.
It was nowhere near where
Peytons was, andhe went 3-13. I
think Andrew will struggle
more because of the receivers
around him. Only Reggie
(Wayne) and Austin (Collie) are
back.
Still, Luck was the obvious
choice as Mannings successor
all along.
A pro-style pocket quarter-
back, Luck threw for 35 touch-
downs last season breaking
his school record of 32 a year
ago and eclipsed John El-
ways career record (77) at Stan-
ford with 80 touchdown passes
in only three years.

IOWA CITY, Iowa The past
hadthreatenedtoovershadowthe
future at this years U.S. Olympic
TeamTrials, withgoldmedal-win-
ning wrestlers from each of the
past four games planning come-
back attempts.
One of those former cham-
pions, Cael Sanderson, wont
make it to Iowa City. His absence
could help open the door for up-
and-comer Jake Herbert to show-
case his talents in London this
summer.
Herbert became the favorite to
win the U.S. freestyle spot at 84
kilograms this weekend after
Sanderson decided last week that
his duties as a father and coach of
NCAAchampion Penn State were
too pressing to leave behind.
It was clearly a break for Herb-
ert, who lost to Sanderson in the
WorldTeamTrialsin2011andwas
ranked No. 2 behind Sanderson
headed into this weekend. But
Herbert worked too hard over the
past decade to focus onanyone
even Sanderson blocking his
path to the London Games.
I dont really feel one way or
the other. If he showed up and I
had to wrestle and beat him and
thats what I hadtodotomake the
team, thenits what Iddo to make
the team, Herbert saidof Sander-
son. Him not being there is just
one less person to worry about.
Herberts loss to Sanderson last
year cost him a shot at his first
world title, a rare damper in a ca-
reer thats usually defied modest
expectations.
Herbert didnt dreamabout the
Olympics nearly a decade ago at
North Allegheny High outside of
Pittsburgh. Herbert just wantedto
win a Pennsylvania state title,
which he finally did as a senior,
and earn a college scholarship.
Herbert signedwithNorthwest-
ern, a solid program historically
toiling in the shadow of power-
house Iowa, and quickly blos-
somed into one of the nations top
wrestlers. He won the national
championship at 184 pounds in
2007 and 2009, and three years
ago he took home the Dan Hodge
Award as the countrys most dom-
inant wrestler.
Herbert also qualified for the
Olympic Trials in 2008 through
theredshirt program, wherewres-
tlers take the year off from their
college team in an effort to reach
the Olympics. Though Herbert
impressed, hedidnt maketheU.S.
team.
Herberts breakthrough came a
year later, when he unexpectedly
wonsilver at the worldchampion-
ships and realized that London
was a lot more realistic than he
might have previously imagined.
I was like, Ive got something
going on here, he said. Instead
of getting a job and using my de-
gree and everything I decided to
put the next three years of my life
into getting ready, training for the
Olympics, trying to win world
championshipsandall that stuff in
between.

Sandersons departure
leaves Herbert hopeful
By LUKE MEREDITH
AP Sports Writer
WACO, Texas Baylor stand-
out Brittney Griner will not play
for the U.S. womens basketball
team at the London Olympics
this summer.
The 6-foot-8 Griner, who was
considered a candidate for the
12th and final roster spot on the
national team, citied an unspec-
ified family illness and her sum-
mer school schedule when she
said Thursday she would not be
able to play.
In a statement released by her
school, Griner said she had in-
formedUSAwomens teamdirec-
tor Carol Callan of her decision.
I am disappointed that I will
be unable to participate, Griner
said. But I want to stay involved
in USA Basketball and hope to
again have the opportunity to
represent mycountryinfuturein-
ternational competition.
USA Basketball announced 11
of the 12 roster spots late last
month.
Griner played on the 2011 Eu-
ropean Tour with USA Basket-
ball, andaveraged12.8points and
7.3 rebounds a game.
Thelast collegeplayers tocom-
pete in the Olympics for the U.S.
were Vicky Bullett (Maryland)
and Bridgette Gordon (Tennes-
see) in 1988.
Griner, who will be a senior at
Baylor next season, is a two-time
All-American who was The Asso-
ciated Press player of the year
this past season when the unde-
feated Lady Bears won the na-
tional championship and became
the first 40-win team in NCAA
history.
In her three seasons at Baylor,
Griner has averaged 21.6 points
and 8.6 rebounds a game with a
Big 12-record 594 blocked shots.
She is the first NCAAplayer with
2,000 career points and 500
blocked shots.
Griner dunked twice in the
NCAA tournament, matching
Candace Parker for most dunks
by a woman in NCAA tourna-
ment play and during a college
career (seven).
Leaving spots open is nothing
new for the U.S. The Americans
only announced nine players ini-
tially for the 2008 Games before
filling out the roster nearly two
months later. They also unveiled
a core of players in2000 and2004
before filling out those teams lat-
er.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Urban
Meyer swats aside the question
about his health as if he were a
cornerback batting down a wob-
bly pass.
Im taking care of myself.
Thanks for asking, he said this
week during Ohio States last
few days of spring workouts.
No, were fine. Thats kind of
old news.
Then, turning to more press-
ing issues, he quickly added,
We just have to get our skill a
little bit better here and well be
ready to go.
In other words, personnel con-
siderations take precedence over
the coachs stress level. The dire
need to find game-changing
players is more important than
the hours spent at his office in
the Woody Hayes football facil-
ity.
Meyer says everything is OK
with him a few months into his
first year as the head coach of
the Buckeyes. He had left his job
in Florida in December of 2010
saying that health and family
reasons forced him to step aside.
A year spent as a television ana-
lyst only caused him to pine for
a return to the sidelines.
Before taking the job at Ohio
State which came about after
Jim Tressel was forced to resign
for covering up his knowledge
that his players had broken
NCAA rules Meyers family
made him promise to not overdo
it, to not suffer physically from
the pressure and long hours.
They said he needed to take it
easy. He said he would.
Yet others close to him think
Meyer hasnt changed a whole
lot.
Ill tell you what, Urban
Meyer is the same Urban Meyer
as far as Xs and Os, as far as
intensity on the football field,
said Ohio State running backs
coach Stan Drayton, who was al-
so on his Gators staff. Hes in a
better place right now spiritu-
ally. Hes not letting a whole lot
of things get to him as much.
But its not like hes taking the
foot off the gas pedal at all. Hes
just learned how to manage it
that much better.
Zach Smith, the Buckeyes
wide-receivers coach, also was
on Meyers staff at Florida. Hes
unaware of it if Meyer has scaled
back on the intensity.
I wouldnt say scaled it back.
Time to work is still time to
work. And the intensity and the
effort from him and from us as
coaches hasnt really changed,
he said. I dont notice a differ-
ence. But when its time to get
away, I think he gets away.
One place Meyer, who is paid
$4 million a year, can get away is
his new home. Priced at $1.45
million, the 11,700-square foot
place backs up to the seventh
fairway at Jack Nicklaus Muir-
field Village Golf Club in subur-
ban Dublin.
Meyer has said that his wife
Shelley whom he met while
he was a graduate assistant at
Ohio State in 1986-87 and teas-
ingly refers to as Miss Junior
Ross County Fair Queen his
young son and two college-age
daughters will not move full-
time to Ohio until after the
school year ends.

Pa. jobless rate at 7.5%
The seasonally adjusted unemploy-
ment rate in Pennsylvania was 7.5
percent in March, down one-tenth of a
percentage point from February. The
rate was 0.4 percentage points less
than in March 2011.
The seasonally adjusted civilian
labor force the number of people
working or looking for work was up
16,000 in March to 6,406,000. Resident
employment rose 21,000 to 5,927,000,
and the number of unemployed resi-
dents fell 5,000 to 479,000. Pennsylva-
nias labor force was 3,000 above its
March 2011 level.
Seasonally adjusted total nonfarm
jobs in Pennsylvania were 7,800 higher
in March at 5,728,400. All of the in-
crease was within service-providing
industries, which increased by 8,200
jobs.
Nat. gas prices drop more
The price of natural gas has dropped
to the lowest level in more than a dec-
ade as U.S. supplies continue to grow.
Natural gas futures gave up 4.4 cents
to finish at $1.9070 per 1,000 cubic feet
in New York. That matches a 10-year
low reached on Jan. 28, 2002. The
futures contract fell below $2 last
week.
Prices declined after the Energy
Information Administration reported
that supplies grew by 25 billion cubic
feet last week, putting the nations
supply level at 58 percent above the
five-year average.
Starbucks drops bug dye
Starbucks Corp. says it will stop
using a red dye in its drinks that is
derived from crushed bugs.
The coffee chain said in a blog post
on its website Thursday that it made
the decision to reformulate its drinks
after feedback from consumers.
The company says it will swap out
cochineal extract, which is made from
the juice of a tiny beetle, and instead
use lycopene, a tomato-based extract.
Railroads on upswing
Union Pacific Corp. said Thursday
its first-quarter net income jumped 35
percent as the railroad hauled more
cars and crude oil. CSX said earlier this
week that its net income jumped 14
percent. Both railroads were hauling
more containers of consumer goods
and both were able to increase rates
enough to offset a decline in coal ship-
ments after a mild winter.

THE TIMES LEADER FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2012

WASHINGTON Momentum in
U.S. hiring and home sales appears to
be slowing, according to fresh data.
The average number of people seek-
ing U.S. unemployment benefits over
the past month is at a three-month
high. And fewer Americans bought
previously owned homes in March af-
ter mild weather boosted sales in the
previous two months.
A possible weakening in two criti-
cal elements of the U.S. economy sug-
gests growth could stay modest this
year.
We are in for a few more quarters
of moderate growth before stronger
gains might appear, said Joel Naroff,
president of Naroff Economic Advi-
sors. More hiring is needed to drive
up wages and salaries and fuel the re-
covery, he added.
The Labor Department said Thurs-
day that weekly applications dipped
last week by 2,000 to a seasonally ad-
justed 386,000.
But, the four-week average, a less
volatile measure, rose last week by
5,500, to 374,750. Thats the highest
level in three months, although it is
still 9 percent lower than the level
from September.
Unemployment benefit applica-
tions have started to tick up in recent
weeks after months of steady de-
clines. When applications fall below
375,000, it generally suggests hiring
will be strong enough to lower the un-
employment rate.
The National Association of Real-
tors said sales of previously owned
homes fell 2.6 percent last month to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of
4.48 million. Thats down from a re-
vised 4.6 million sold in February. In
healthier markets, sales typically are
closer to 6 million.
A mild winter may have encour-
aged more people to buy in January
and February, essentially stealing
sales from March.
There were some positive signs in
the home-buying report. First-time
buyers, who are critical to a housing
recovery, rose slightly. Foreclosures
declined. And the supply of homes for
sale fell.
Many economists have downplayed
the weak March hiring figures, noting
that a warmer winter may have also
led to some earlier hiring in January
and February.

U.S. hiring, home sales appear to slow
NEW YORK Apple generates
more gossip than the Kardashians.
Theres a constantly spinning mill of
rumors about Apple products, most of
whichturnout tobe untrue. Whats un-
usual this week is that talk has revived
of asmaller iPadmodel, anideacompa-
ny founder Steve Jobs derided publicly
a year before he died.
Apple and its suppliers arent com-
menting. Rumors of a smaller iPad, or
iPad mini have percolated ever since
the first iPad was launched two years
ago. This time around, theyre fed by
media reports from South Korea, Chi-
na and Taiwan, saying Apple has or-
dered Samsung screens that are 7.86
inches measured on the diagonal. That
would make for a screen about half the
size of the current iPad, which has a di-
agonal measurement of 9.7 inches.
A smaller tablet would help Apple
further its lead in the tablet market.
From a competitive standpoint, we
believe an iPad mini with a lower price
point wouldbe the competitions worst
nightmare, said Shaw Wu, an analyst
at Sterne Agee.
Apple has successfully fended off
competitors who have tried to sell tab-
lets in iPads size range. But last year,
Amazon.com Inc. figured out how to
crack Apples stranglehold on tablets
by making a half-size, no-frills tablet.
The result was the Kindle Fire, which
sells for $199 basically, the cost of
production. Amazon has sold millions
of them.
Price isnt the only reasoncustomers
might prefer a smaller tablet. A 7-inch
model would fit in many handbags, un-
like the current iPad.
Apples late CEOmade a rare appear-
ance on an October 2010 earnings con-
ference call to launch a tirade against
the 7-inch tablet Samsung Electronics
Inc. was set to launch as the first major
challenger to the iPad.

BACK MOUNTAIN EXPO A BIG DRAW
T
he Back Mountain Business and Community Expo at Misericordia University in Dallas drew steady
crowds Wednesday. Businesses and nonprofit organizations showcased their products and ser-
vices at the event sponsored by the Back Mountain Chamber of Commerce.
LOS ANGELES The shareholder
rejection of Citigroup Inc. Chief Exec-
utive Vikram Pandits $15 million pay
package has some on Wall Street won-
deringif thesamefatemight beinstore
for the heads of other big U.S. banks.
Both Wells Fargo & Co. and Bank of
America Corp. will ask shareholders in
the coming weeks to vote on a "say on
pay" proposal. Corporate governance
experts and activist shareholders ex-
pect that these votes will capture even
moreattentionnowthat Citis sharehol-
ders have said they want Pandits com-
pensation to be dialed back.
Financial institutions have been
forced to hold these votes as part of re-
formlaws passed after the financial cri-
sis. Though they are not binding, the
votes could leave corporate boards
squirming as they choose between cut-
ting the compensation or ignoring sha-
reholders whoessentiallyownthecom-
panies.
"Here we have the majority of share-
holders indicating frustration with the
overall level of compensation for exec-
utives still working at a major compa-
ny," said Brandon Rees, acting director
of investmentsat theAFL-CIO. "If it can
happenat Citigroup, it canhappenany-
where, particularly at other big finan-
cial firms."
Tuesdays vote at Citigroup was the
first time it hit a major name on Wall
Street. About 55 percent of the share-
holders cast votes in favor of lowering
Pandits salary and bonus package,
along with the compensation for other
top executives.

April 21 April 29 May 5 May 12
The driest April
on record was
back in 1932
when only two-
thirds of an inch
of rain was
recorded (.64 of
an inch). So far
this month,
we've had just a
little more than
half that amount
and the decit
so far this spring
is now just over
5 inches in the
Poconos. We will
get some rain
Saturday but
probably only a
quarter inch or
less. Northerly
wind heading
into Sunday will
drop the temper-
ature a bit. Then
on Monday, a
storm might hug
the coast and
bring additional
rainfall with
gusty winds.
Below normal
temperatures
will last through
Election Day
next week.
-Kurt Aaron

The Susquehanna River Basin Commission
(SRBC) will hold a public hearing on May
10, 2012 at the Pennsylvania State Capitol,
Room 8E-B, East Wing, Commonwealth
Avenue, Harrisburg, Pa., beginning at 2:30
p.m. One purpose of the hearing is to
receive comments on amendments to the
SRBC Regulatory Program Fee Schedule
and on establishment of an SRBC Informa-
tion Technology Services Fee as an
addendum to the SRBC Records Process-
ing Fee Schedule.
The revisions to the Regulatory Program
Fee Schedule implement annual adjust-
ments in fee amounts in accordance with
changes in the U.S. Consumer Price Index
as previously established by SRBC in Res-
olution 2005-03 of March 29, 2005. Other
changes include an increase in the SRBCs
consumptive use fee based on the change
in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Civil
Works Construction Cost Index System;
the establishment of fees for renewal
applications; and an increase in fees for
groundwater withdrawal applications.
The proposed Information Technology Ser-
vices Fee contains fees that the SRBC will
charge for online downloads of large
datasets.
SRBC will also consider amendments to its
Comprehensive Plan for Management of
the Water Resources of the Susquehanna
River Basin. The proposed amendments
include the additions of the Fiscal Year
2013-2014 Annual Water Resources Pro-
gram and all water resources projects
approved by the Commission since the
last amendment of the Comprehensive
Plan in June 2011.
Copies of the revised fee schedules can
be obtained from SRBCs web site at
www.srbc.net or by calling 717-238-0423.
Information on the proposed amendments
to the Comprehensive Plan is also posted
on the web site. Anyone planning to com-
ment at the public hearing, should contact
Richard A. Cairo, SRBC, 1721 N. Front
Street, Harrisburg, PA 17102-2391; 717-
238-0423. Ext. 306. Written comments or
questions, including questions on the
comprehensive plan amendments, can be
sent to Mr. Cairo by mail, e-mail at

2012 Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times.
History can repeat itself.
It can also top itself.
It is more than the next 911. It is an articulation, from the ground up, of our vision for the future of the sports car. As evidenced by even more power
from even less fuel. 350 immensely powerful horses from a 3.4 liter engine in the Carrera. A longer wheelbase for added stability. And a new
elevated center console that reinforces our focus on the driver. Proving once again that despite over 60 years of making history, it's making history.
And it all starts with a test drive.
The next Porsche 911.
Forever the sports car.
