The Dal-
las School Board may have hit a
major bump in the road to a new
bus-transportation contract:
G. Davis Inc., the Pike County
company awarded a ve-year
contract at a
May 6 meet-
ing, is seeking
a court injunc-
tion barring
the board from
reconsidering
that decision
in the wake of
public criticism
at a May 13
meeting.
The board
took the un-
usual step of al-
lowing the two
companies that
had submitted
proposals G.
Davis and Dallas-based Emanuel
Bus Lines, which has transport-
ed district students for decades
to revise their proposals.
Solicitor Ben Jones III said lan-
guage in the original request for

companies allowed that move.
Emanuel submitted a newpro-

A total 175,844 Luzerne
County voters 111,726 Demo-
crats and 64,118 Republicans
are eligible to vote in todays
municipal primaries.
The only statewide race is
for a Superior Court judge seat.
Harrisburg attorney Vic Stabile
is unopposed for the Republi-
can nomina-
tion. Allegheny
County Judge
Jack McVay Jr.
and Philadel-
phia Municipal
Court Judge
Joseph Waters Jr. are competing
for the Democratic nomination.
County races for controller
and ve council seats also are on
the ballot.
Republicans will choose ei-
ther incumbent Walter Grifth
or Wilkes-Barre tax accountant
Karen Ceppa-Hirko as their con-
troller nominee. This contest
is receiving attention because
Grifth, of Kingston Township,
was charged with wiretapping
last week.
Michelle Bednar, a Conyn-
gham Township tax collector
and nancial securities com-
pany ofce manager, is running
against county Councilman Ste-
phen A. Urban, a former 12-year
county commissioner from Wil-
kes-Barre, for the Democratic
nomination.
The controller is elected to
independently review county -
nances and operations. The con-
troller elected in November will
be paid $64,999.
Six Republicans are running
for the partys ve County Coun-
cil nominations, which means
only one contender will be cut
today. Five Democrats are seek-
ing nominations, and all will
automatically advance to the
November general election.

WILKES-BARRE Odds
are the 129 Luzerne County
Community College nursing
students who are getting their
diplomas on Thursday will
nd jobs much quicker than
most other college graduates.
According to the federal
Bureau of Labor Statistics
outlook for registered nurses,
employment totals for the pro-
fession are expected to grow
26 percent from 2010 to 2020,
climbing by 711,900 to reach
3,449,300 nursing employees
by 2020.
Thats a rate thats faster
than the average for all other
jobs, according to the bureau.
Growth will occur primar-
ily because of technological
advancements, an increased
emphasis on preventative
care and the large, aging baby-
boomer population who will
demand more health-care ser-
vices as they live longer and
more active lives, the bureau
said.
All that is not surprising
to the dozens of LCCC nurs-
ing students set to graduate
Thursday.
During a traditional pinning
ceremony Monday at Genetti
Hotel & Conference Center in
Wilkes-Barre, faculty members
and family members praised
members of the LCCC nursing
class of 2013.
Optimistic graduates
Surrounded by all the pomp
and circumstance, the students
spoke about why they got into
the eld, how condent they
are they will land a job if
they havent already and
what the future holds for their
chosen profession.
At the pinning ceremony,
those about to earn nursing
degrees are pinned by some-
one of their choosing in the
nursing eld, usually a faculty
member. In some cases, a fam-
ily member is asked to step in.

Monster storm takes direct hit on school
MOORE, Okla. A mon-
strous tornado at least a half-
mile wide roared through the
Oklahoma City suburbs Mon-
day, attening entire neighbor-
hoods and destroying an el-
ementary school with a direct
blow as children and teachers
huddled against winds up to
200 mph. At least 51 people
were killed, and ofcials said
the death toll was expected to
rise.
The storm laid waste to
scores of buildings in Moore,
a community of 41,000 people
south of the city. Block after
block lay in ruins. Homes were
crushed into piles of broken
wood. Cars and trucks were
left crumpled on the roadside.
The National Weather Ser-
vice issued an initial nding
that the tornado was an EF-4
on the enhanced Fujita scale,
the second most-powerful type
of twister.
More than 120 people were
being treated at hospitals, in-
cluding about 70 children.
Rescuers launched a desper-
ate rescue effort at the school,
pulling children from heaps of
debris and carrying them to a
triage center.
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin
deployed 80 National Guard
members to assist with search-
and-rescue operations and ac-
tivated extra highway patrol
ofcers.
Fallin also spoke with Presi-
dent Barack Obama, who of-
fered the nations help and
gave Fallin a direct line to his
ofce.
Many land lines to stricken
areas were down and cell-
phone trafc was congested.
The storm was so massive that
it will take time to establish
communications between res-
cuers and state ofcials, the
governor said.

Corbett suit
vs. NCAA
At issue is whether antitrust

wake of Sandusky case.
By MARK SCOLFORO

HARRISBURG Gov. Tom
Corbett will learn within the
next few weeks whether his fed-
eral lawsuit against the NCAA
over the penalties handed down
against Penn State will be al-
lowed to continue, after a nearly
two-hour hearing Monday in
Harrisburg.
Corbett sued the NCAA in
January, claiming the $60 mil-
lion ne and other penalties lev-
ied against Penn State over its
handling of the Jerry Sandusky
child-molestation scandal vio-
lated federal antitrust rules.
Scott Ballenger, represent-
ing the NCAA, said the actions
it took against Penn State are
not likely to harm to the overall
market for higher education or
even the market for top-caliber
football players, arguing anti-
trust law did not apply and that

outside Moore, Okla., on Monday after a giant tornado roared
through the Oklahoma City suburbs.
LOS ANGELES A man
was charged Monday with a
$565,000 bank robbery in which
his girlfriend an assistant
bank manager was forced
to strap on a fake bomb so she
would seem to be a hostage and
could take the money.
The woman said she was ab-
ducted in September from her
home and forced to put on what
she believed was a real bomb.
Her abductors told her if she
didnt help steal the money the
bomb would explode, according
to the indictment.
She went to her Bank of
America branch in Huntington
Park, got an employee to help
her take the money from a vault
and left it outside, where the
robbers picked it up and ed,
authorities said. The money has
not been recovered.
According to the indictment,
Reyes Ray Vega, 34, used two
cars registered to his father for
the robbery. He and two other
men were charged with bank
robbery, conspiracy to commit
bank robbery, and aiding and
abetting each other by force,
violence and intimidation.
The woman, identied only
as A.B., was not charged.
Its unclear whether she had
any knowledge of the plot,
and federal ofcials declined
to provide details beyond the
indictment, citing an ongoing
investigation.
Vega appeared in federal
court in Atlanta on Monday and
will be returned to Los Angeles.
The two other defendants,
Richard Menchaca, 36, and Bry-
an Perez, 27, pleaded not guilty
in federal court in Los Angeles,
according to their attorneys.
Perez was released on a $40,000
bond with electronic moni-
toring and travel restrictions,
said his attorney, Jerome Haig.

J
im Dukas of Dallas tries to coax his dog, Quincy, up onto a platform that is part of
a canine obstacle course at Hollenback Park in Wilkes-Barre on a sunny and dry
Monday. Quincy wanted none of it and preferred to stay put on the ground. At least the
weather cooperated for those trying some dog training. The forecast for the next few
days calls for high temperatures in the 80s along with showers and possible thunder-
storms. For the forecast, see Page 8A.
A reghter carries a hose after crews doused a re that destroyed a shed and dam-
aged a residence Monday at 336 Center St. in Wilkes-Barre Township, temporarily dis-
placing one resident. Assistant Fire Chief Danny Harkenreader said a lawn tractor caught
re and the re spread to a can of gasoline and then engulfed the shed at about 5:20
p.m. Fireghters had the ames knocked down within about 10 minutes of their arrival,
but not before the ames spread to and damaged part of the exterior wall and some
eaves of the adjacent home. Harkenreader said no one was injured in the blaze. Ronnie
Melodick said he was repairing the lawn tractor so he could cut his girlfriends lawn. He
said the carburetor caught re while he was moving the mower out of the shed. He said
his girlfriend, Ruth Yankowski, is renting the home and will stay with a family member.
Melodick said he tried to get Yankowskis cat out of the home but couldnt nd it. A re-
ghter carried out the cat, which appeared alert and unharmed, at about 6:05 p.m.

PLAINS TWP. At a pre-
election night meeting on
Monday that barely managed
a quorum, the Joint Operating
Committee of the Wilkes-Barre
Career & Technical Center
handled a number of routine
business matters and approved
memorandums of understand-
ing that added several posi-
tions to the schools collective
bargaining units.
Much of the regular monthly
board agenda included renew-
ing ongoing memberships in
professional associations for
staff including the business
manager, administrators and
cafeteria manager, as well as
the schools board.
Two key exceptions to the
routine business were the ap-
proval of the memorandums
of understanding that added
the positions of hall monitor,
technical support specialist
and data processing and pro-
duction department program-
mers to the support personnel
association bargaining unit,
and the positions of in school
suspension specialist and ca-
reer and workforce specialist
to the education association
union.
According to information
provided by the schools so-
licitor Ray Wendolowski, the
specialist and programmer
positions added to the support
personnel union will receive a
$500 salary increase for this
year along with benets for ill-
ness, disability, paid holidays
and vacations and temporary
leaves of absence as identied
in the existing union agree-
ment, while the hall monitor
position shall continue under
the status quo at a salary of
$12 per hour with health cov-
erage or buyout, no paid time
off.
The persons currently hold-
ing the two specialist positions
will be placed appropriately
on the step salary agreement
and receive related covered
benets, as per the collective
bargaining agreement, the
memorandum of understand-
ing stated.
In other business, the board:
Ratifed the approval of Pa-
tricia Rodriguez as a substitute
school nurse at $150 per day
until the end of the school year.
Approved the order of
$59,174 in furnishings from
Phillips Supply Co. for four
classrooms and student and
faculty lounges in the new
practical nursing center.
Approved payments total-
ing $28,556 to Bognet, Inc. for
HVAC and plumbing services
on the new practical nursing
center project.
Approved payment of
$18,760 to Everon Electrical
Contractors Inc. for electrical
construction on the practical
nursing center.
Noted that the data pro-
cessing portion of the new con-
struction has been completed
and is now occupied.
The administrative section
of the practical nursing area
will be ready for occupancy by
the rst week of June, while it
is anticipated the classrooms
and labs will be completed by
the end of July.
The project was originally
slated to be completed in
March.

Three charged in LA-area bank robbery
WILKES-BARRE TWP.
The township council voted
unanimously in a special meet-
ing on Monday to approve
a sewer sharing agreement
with Hanover Township after
lengthy negotiations.
The agreement was sought
to help Wilkes-Barre Township
accommodate the additional
sewage capacity anticipated
from planned commercial ex-
pansion near the Wyoming
Valley Mall and Mohegan Sun
Arena.
Township ofcials said sev-
eral national food and hotel
chains have plans to open lo-
cations in the township in the
near future.
SUGAR NOTCHCouncil-
man Mario Fiorucci says a tres-
passing citation led against
him is nothing more than an
attempt to make him look bad
before todays primary elec-
tion.
Police Chief Christopher
Pelchar says Fiorucci broke the
law and politics has nothing to
do with the citation.
Pelchar led a trespassing ci-
tation against Fiorucci on Fri-
day and issued a press release
on Sunday alleging that Fioruc-
ci entered the property of Paul
Casey on April 27 and placed
his self-proclaimed newslet-
ter behind Caseys mailbox on
Caseys front porch after Casey
had told Fiorucci at a council
meeting that he did not sub-
scribe to nor want Fioruccis
newsletter.
Pelchar said Fiorucci had
asked for Caseys address
at the council meeting and
wrote it down, and the ex-
change was witnessed by
other council members, the
solicitor, police and other bor-
ough residents.
Pelchar said he doesnt le
a citation against someone
until he has a signed state-
ment from the complainant,
and because of conicting
schedules, it took a few weeks
to obtain a statement from
Casey. Still, it was well within
the 90 days the law allows for
the ling of a summary cita-
tion, he said.
Fiorucci said he mistak-
enly delivered the newsletter
to Caseys address because
he got the address mixed up.
When he realized his mistake,
he quickly returned to Caseys
house and removed the news-
letter.
As he was leaving the prop-
erty, he said, Casey came out-
side and complained about
him trespassing.
Fiorucci said he believes
Pelchar was still angry about
Fiorucci questioning him at a
public meeting about a post on
the Sugar Notch Police Associ-
ations Facebook web page. He
said Sugar Notch police cited
him last June with trespassing
on another persons property
for the same reason and that
charge was dismissed.
This will never hold up in
court, and I know that from
last year with (District Judge
Rick) Cronauer. Whats the
point of citing me this time ex-
cept to create bad publicity for
me on the eve of the election?
Fiorucci said.
But Pelchar said he was not
angry with Fiorucci and held
no grudge.
He said Fiorucci was not
found not guilty before Cro-
nauer; the trespass charge was
held in abeyance for a period
of time and dismissed after
Fiorucci did not enter the resi-
dents property again within
that time.
Pelchar said Fioruccis as-
sertion that a no trespassing
sign must be posted on a prop-
erty for a citation to be issued
is incorrect.
He said entering a property
after receiving verbal instruc-
tion not to do so by the owner
or resident constitutes a viola-
tion of the law.
Citation a smear attempt,
Sugar Notch ofcial says
Fiorucci says trespassing
citation wont hold up in court.
Chief denies its about politics.

Oil rm wants suit tossed
Attorneys representing Exxon Mobil
Corp. in a 12-year-old gasoline spill
lawsuit have asked a judge to dis-
miss the suit that now involves a few
remaining plaintiffs.
The original suit, led in 2001, in-
cluded more than 1,000 Hazleton-area
residents who said they were sickened
or their properties were damaged by
a spill that leaked hundreds of gallons
of gasoline into the soil surrounding
the Tranguch Tire and Service Center
along Church Street.
The remaining plaintiffs who have
not settled or had their case go to
trial, the Melnick family, have an
outstanding lawsuit.
Attorneys for Exxon Mobil said in
a 25-page ling Monday that the suit
led by the family should be thrown
out for a number of reasons, including
that Exxon was not responsible for the
gasoline or the tanks that leaked, and
that there is no evidence Exxon acted
intentionally.
The Melnicks, who represent them-
selves in the suit, have not yet led a
response to the request.
A judge also has not yet scheduled a
hearing date for any argument on the
request.

Convicted killer seeks new trial
WILKES-BARRE Convict-
ed murderer Harlow Cuadra
appeared in Luzerne County
Court on Monday for a hear-
ing on a request to have a new
trial in the January 2007 death
of a Dallas Township man.
But Cuadras attorney, De-
metrius Fannick, said that
after the
two met this
w e e k e n d
to discuss
C u a d r a s
t e s t i mo ny
at Mondays
hearing, new
information
came up and
now Fannick needs more time
to address those issues.
Cuadra, 31, of Virginia
Beach, Va., was convicted in
March 2009 of rst-degree
murder in the killing of Bryan
Kocis, 44, inside Kocis Mid-
land Drive home that was set
on re on Jan. 24, 2007.
Prosecutors allege Cuadra
and Joseph Kerekes, 39,
planned to kill Kocis, their
rival in the pornography in-
dustry.
Cuadra was convicted
on the rst-degree murder
charge and sentenced to life
in prison after a jury could not
vote unanimously to impose
the death penalty.
Kerekes pleaded guilty to a
second-degree murder charge
in December 2008 and was
sentenced to life in prison.
On Monday, Fannick said
that because Cuadra is per-
haps the only witness he will
call to testify about the claims
in his post-conviction request,
he needs more time to pre-
pare for the new issues that
came up.
Fannick did not elaborate
on those issues Monday but
said he would le additional
court papers outlining them.
Assistant District Attorney
Shannon Crake said after a
discussion with Fannick she
did not object to a resched-
uled hearing.
County Judge Fred Pieran-
toni rescheduled the hearing
to Nov. 12 because of sched-
uling issues that prevented
an earlier hearing. Pierantoni
said he would be reluctant
to grant any more requests
for continuances regarding
Cuadras request.
Pierantoni said Fannick
must le any additional court
papers by July 3 and that pros-
ecutors must respond by Aug.
5.

Immediate
parole for
helper in
fatal crash

Daniel Antonini aided Walter
Raven in power-washing a car
that crashed into motorcycle.
It may seemstrange that a Mountain
Top lawyer who just earned a partner-
ship with a rm near his hometown
would take a nine-month hiatus to
Cuba.
But Lt. Commander Jack Zelinka, a
reservist with the Navy Judge Advo-
cate Generals Corps, or JAG Corps,
will spend nearly a year defending the
U.S. government at Guantanamo Bay
Detention Camp.
Zelinka, 39, said he nds fulllment
in military service that he has not
found in other work.
Theres a camaraderie that you
dont get in the civil world, Zelinka
said.
Zelinka earned a partnership with
Rosenn Jenkins & Greenwald in Janu-
ary as a real-estate lawyer. He attended
the University of Pittsburgh and, early
in his education, he realized it was go-
ing to take some work before his JAG
ofcers application would be consid-
ered, Zelinka said.
In his second year, after ranking in
the top 10 percent of the schools law
review, Zelinka was accepted into the
corps and deployed after graduation to
the Navy base in Norfolk, Va.
The good thing about it is you
know you have a job, Zelinka said
about serving in the military after
graduation.
Zelinka served four years of active
duty as a prosecutor in Norfolk, work-
ing closely with Navy law enforcement
there. While the CBS television show
Naval Criminal Investigative Service,
NCIS, gets rave reviews, real-life
Navy law enforcement bears little like-
ness to the program, he said.
Its not like the show. But yes, we
work with NCIS all the time, Zelinka
said.
Zelinka left active duty in 2003 and
entered the reserves. Two days after
his discharge, Zelinka began his career
with the Wilkes-Barre rm, a rm he
said wholeheartedly supports his as-
signment to the prison camp.
Fellow lawyer Mark Van Loon met
Zelinka early in the rookies start at the
rm. The two connected because they
shared a common bond.
Van Loon also served with the JAG
Corps, and the senior partner said Ze-
linka has the right stuff to succeed at
Guantanamo.
As Van Loon handles many of the
rms environmental cases, and Ze-
linka works in real estate, the two col-
laborated often, Van Loon said.
He exemplies the type of charac-
ter that Ive encountered in all my ex-
periences with the Navy JAG Corps,
Van Loon said.
You never have to ask him twice to
Settlement talk in ex-Ashley police chiefs lawsuit
SCRANTON Negotia-
tions are under way to end a
wrongful-termination lawsuit
led against Ashley by the
boroughs former police chief,
David Cerski.
Cerski, 49, of Wilkes-Barre,
led the suit in federal court
in December alleging bor-
ough council red him be-
cause he was perceived to be a
supporter of
Mayor Rich-
ard Oravic,
whom coun-
cil members
deemed a
political ad-
versary.
C o u n -
cil members James Mullin,
Martin McDonald, John Gib-
bons, Joseph Gorham, Sha-
ron Lynne Keefe and Stacy
McGovern voted to terminate
Cerski on March 24, 2011.
The termination happened
two days after Cerski was
named in a protection-from-
abuse order led by his for-
mer girlfriend Heather Doty.
In the suit led by attorney
Donald H. Brobst, Cerski al-
leged he was red without
council providing him a pre-
termination hearing. Cerski
had worked for the borough
as police chief since Jan. 1,
2005, and was red while
under a contract with the bor-
ough, the lawsuit says.
Mullin notied Cerski of
his termination in a letter dat-
ed March 24, 2011, directing
Cerski to surrender his badge,
revolver, keys, uniforms and
other police equipment. Mul-
lins letter does not give a rea-
son for the termination.
The lawsuit claims Cer-
ski has suffered damages in
the form of loss of income,
employment benets, em-
barrassment and emotional
distress.
Brobst and borough solici-
tor William Vinsko said Mon-
day that settlement nego-
tiations are ongoing and they
expect something to happen
in the next few weeks.
In a letter to U.S. Dis-
trict Court Judge Richard P.
Conaboy about the status of
the case, Brobst stated Cerski
has made a settlement de-
mand to the borough and is
waiting for a response.

WILKES-BARRE A city man
investigators say helped wash a
vehicle driven by his friend who
caused a double-fatal crash in Sep-
tember was sentenced Monday.
Daniel Antonini, 46, of Gilli-
gan Street, was sentenced to 17
days time served to 12 months in
county prison on a single charge
of tampering with evidence.
Antonini was immediately pa-
roled and ordered to have no con-
tact with his friend Walter Raven.
Raven, 60, of Jenkins Town-
ship, pleaded guilty early this
month to two
counts of acci-
dents involving
death and other
charges stem-
ming from the
case.
County de-
tectives and
Pittston Town-
ship police said
Raven drove a Buick into the path
of a motorcycle operated by Don-
nie Pizano, 38, on state Route 315
on Sept. 2. Pizano and a passenger
on the motorcycle, Robin Walsh,
39, both of Plains Township, were
killed in the crash.
Several hours after the crash,
Jenkins Township police spotted
Raven and Antonini using a pow-
er washer to clean a vehicle that
matched the car involved in the
fatal accident.
Authorities said damage to
Ravens car was consistent with
debris recovered at the crash site.
Raven is scheduled for sentencing
on June 10.
At a September hearing, Anto-
nini said he did not know Raven
was involved in the crash when he
agreed to wash the Buick.
I didnt know what I was wash-
ing at rst, Antonini said.
Antonini pleaded guilty to the
charge in February.
At Mondays hearing, Anto-
nini did not speak about the case,
and prosecutors said they were
agreeable to Antoninis sentence
because of his cooperation with
police.
County Judge David Lupas
said Antonini is to have no con-
tact with Raven, continue with
mental-health treatment, undergo
a drug-and-alcohol evaluation and
complete any recommended treat-
ment.
Lupas said Antonini must con-
tinue to cooperate with investiga-
tors, maintain employment and
complete 15 hours of community
service.
Lupas warned Antonini that
if he violates any terms of his
parole, he will be immediately
jailed.

WASHINGTON Cross-
roads GPS, the behemoth
conservative advocacy group
behind some of the most ro-
bust attacks against President
Obamas administration, said
Monday that it believes it is
among the organizations sub-
jected to special scrutiny by
the Internal Revenue Service.
The statement by the group
comes as campaign-nance-
reform advocates and congres-
sional Democrats have claimed
that the IRS failed to examine
the activities of Crossroads and
other major political players,
even as agents in Cincinnati
were inappropriately agging
conservative groups based on
terms such as tea party and
patriot.
But on Monday, a Cross-
roads spokesman said the
groups experience with the
IRS indicates that it also was
caught in the dragnet.
The organization, co-found-
ed by GOP strategist Karl
Rove, applied to be recognized
as a tax-exempt social-welfare
group in September 2010 and
still has not been approved by
the IRS. Its application, which
is supposed to remain con-
dential unless the groups sta-
tus is approved, was released
by the IRS to the investigative
website ProPublica in Decem-
ber 2012 in response to a pub-
lic-records request.
From everything we know
the criteria used by the IRS
to target conservative groups,
the timing, the still outstand-
ing application after nearly
three years, the leaking of the
application from the Cincin-
nati ofce, and other factors
Crossroads was one of the
targeted groups, Crossroads
spokesman Jonathan Collegio
wrote in an email.
Collegio declined to com-
ment on whether the organi-
zation had received the type
of extensive questionnaires re-
questing donor lists and other
information that went out to
many of the groups the IRS
was examining for their level
of political activity.
An IRS spokesman said the
agency is legally barred from
commenting on applicants for
tax-exempt status.
The fact that Crossroads has
not been approved as a 501(c)4
social-welfare group has not
curtailed its activities. (Unlike
charities, social welfare organi-
zations are not required to get
IRS approval to operate.)

NEW YORK
Students shooting criticized
The godfather of a New York college
student accidentally killed by a police
bullet said Monday the ofcer should
have negotiated instead of ring as an
armed intruder held the young woman
hostage.
Henrique Santos, of Eastchester,
told the Journal News that he is angry
about the shooting of Andrea Rebello
on Friday. Santos also wonders why
eight shots were red instead of one.
Rebellos twin sister was in the Long
Island house when the shooting oc-
curred.
The funeral for the Hofstra Universi-
ty student will be Wednesday in Sleepy
Hollow, north of New York City.
BEIRUT
Hezbollah drawn into Syria
Hezbollah was pulled more deeply
into Syrias civil war as 28 guerrillas
from the Lebanese Shiite militant
group were killed and dozens more
wounded while ghting rebels, Syria
activists said Monday.
The intense battle drove rebels from
large parts of the town of Qusair, part
of a withering government offensive
aimed at securing a strategic land cor-
ridor from Damascus to the Mediter-
ranean coast.
A staunch ally of Syrian President
Bashar Assad, Hezbollah is heavily
invested in the survival of the Damas-
cus regime and is known to have sent
ghters to aid government forces.
WASHINGTON
Immigration deal advances
Senate supporters of far-reaching
immigration legislation accepted minor
changes in public while negotiating over
more sweeping alterations in private
Monday as they drove toward expected
Judiciary Committee approval by mid-
week.
The legislation would provide an op-
portunity of U.S. citizenship to millions
of immigrants living in the country
illegally, create a new visa program for
low-skilled workers and permit a sizable
increase in the number of high-tech
visas, at the same time it mandates
new measures to crack down on future
unlawful immigration.
In two previous weeks of delibera-
tions, supporters of the legislation have
demonstrated their command over the
committees proceedings, alternately ac-
cepting some proposals advanced by the
bills critics and rejecting others all
without losing a single showdown.
The same pattern held true as the
committee embarked on its third and
nal week of drafting.
KABUL, AFGHANISTAN
Suicide bomber kills 14
A suicide bomber dressed in a police
uniform killed 14 people including
a prominent provincial council chief
outside the council headquarters in
northern Afghanistan on Monday, au-
thorities said. The Taliban insurgency
quickly claimed responsibility.
Seeking to weaken the Afghan gov-
ernment, Taliban insurgents have been
carrying out attacks and assassinations
intended to intimidate both ofcials
and civilians ahead of next years with-
drawal of most international troops.
Baghlan provincial council leader
Mohammad Rasoul Mohseni was
entering the compound in the pro-
vincial capital of Pul-e-Khumri in the
morning when the bomber approached
on foot and detonated his explosives,
said Baghlan chief of police Asadullah
Sherzad.
The attacker was dressed in police
uniform and blended with ofcers at a
checkpoint near the council headquar-
ters, then slipped into a group of people
surrounding Mohseni and set off his
bomb in the crowd, said Baghlan deputy
police chief Mohammad Sadeq Muradi.

Powerball
winner
wait may
be lengthy
ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. It
could be an anxious wait of up to
two months for people in a small
Florida city to nd out who won
the highest Powerball jackpot
in history: an estimated $590.5
million.
The lucky ticket was bought
sometime Saturday or earlier at
a Publix supermarket in Zeph-
yrhills, a city of about 13,000
people best known around the
state for its brand of spring wa-
ter with the same name.
The winner has 60 days to
claim the lump-sum cash op-
tion, estimated around $376.9
million, at the Florida Lotterys
ofce in Tallahassee. Under
Florida law, lottery winners in
the state cannot remain anony-
mous; their names and city of
residence must be made public-
ly available to anyone who asks,
according to the states lottery
website. No one had come for-
ward as of Monday morning.
It never happens this quick-
ly, lottery spokesman David
Bishop said. If they know they
won, theyre going to contact
their attorney or an accountant
rst so they can get their affairs
in order.
Publix spokeswoman Maria
Brous said there are a lot of ru-
mors about who won, but the
store doesnt know. Were ex-
cited for the winner or winners,
she said.
Plenty of people in Zeph-
yrhills are wondering whether
its someone they know.
With four out of every ve
possible combinations of Pow-
erball numbers in play, lottery
executives said Saturday that
someone was almost certain to
win the games highest jackpot,
a windfall of hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars and thats af-
ter taxes.
The winning numbers were
10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a
Powerball of 11.
Estimates had earlier put the
jackpot at around $600 million.
But Powerballs online site said
Sunday that the jackpot had
reached an estimated $590.5
million.
The worlds largest jackpot
was a $656 million Mega Mil-
lions jackpot in March 2012.
Terry Rich, CEO of the Iowa
Lottery, initially conrmed that
one Florida winning ticket had
been sold. He told The Associ-
ated Press that following the
Florida winner, the Powerball
grand prize was being reset at
an estimated $40 million.
Winner has 60 days to claim the
lump-sumcash option,
estimated around $376.9million.

WASHINGTON New government
gures underscore the staggering long-
term consequences of military sexual
assaults: More than 85,000 veterans
were treated last year for injuries or
illness linked to the abuse, and 4,000
sought disability benets.
The Department of Veterans Affairs
accounting, released in response to
inquiries from The Associated Press,
shows a heavy nancial and emotional
cost that affects several generations of
veterans and lasts long after a victim
leaves the service. Sexual assault or
repeated sexual harassment can trigger
a variety of health problems, primarily
post-traumatic stress disorder and de-
pression. While women are more likely
to be victims, men made up nearly 40
percent of the patients the VA treated
for conditions connected to what it
calls military sexual trauma.
It took years for Ruth Moore of Mil-
bridge, Maine, to begin getting treat-
ment from a VA counseling center in
2003 16 years after she was raped
twice while she was stationed in Eu-
rope with the Navy. She continues to
get counseling at least monthly for
PTSD linked to the attacks and is also
considered fully disabled.
We cant cure me, but we can work
on stability in my life and work on is-
sues as they arrive, Moore said.
VA ofcials stress that any veteran
who claims to have suffered military
sexual trauma has access to free health
care.
It really is the case that a veteran
can simply walk through the door, say
theyve had this experience, and we will
get them hooked up with care. Theres
no documentation required. They dont
need to have reported it at the time,
said Dr. Margret Bell, a member of the
VAs military sexual trauma team.
However, the hurdles are steeper
for those who seek disability compen-
sation too steep for some veterans
groups and lawmakers who support
legislation designed to make it easier
for veterans to get a monthly disability
payment.
Right now, the burden of proof is
stacked against sexual trauma survi-
vors, said Anu Bhagwati, executive
director of the Service Womens Action
Network. Ninety percent of 26,000
cases last year werent even reported.
So where is that evidence supposed to
come from?

High court to decide on prayers before public meetings
WASHINGTON The
Supreme Court said Monday
it will hear a new case on the
intersection of religion and
government in a dispute over
prayers used to open public
meetings.
The justices said they will
review an appeals court rul-
ing that held that the upstate
New York town of Greece, a
Rochester suburb, violated
the Constitution by opening
nearly every meeting over an
11-year span with prayers that
stressed Christianity.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals said the town
should have made a greater ef-
fort to invite people from oth-
er faiths to open its monthly
board meetings.
The town says the high
court already has upheld
prayers at the start of legisla-
tive meetings and that private
citizens offered invocations of
their own choosing. The town
said in court papers that the
opening prayers should be
found to be constitutional, so
long as the government does
not act with improper motive
in selecting prayer-givers.
Two town residents who
are not Christian complained
that they felt marginalized by
the steady stream of Chris-
tian prayers and challenged
the practice. They are repre-
sented by Americans United
for Separation of Church and
State.
Reacting to the court action
Monday, the Rev. Barry W.
Lynn, Americans United ex-
ecutive director, said, A town
council meeting isnt a church
service, and it shouldnt seem
like one.
The town is represented by
Alliance Defending Freedom,
an Arizona-based group that
presses faith-based cases in
courts nationwide. ADF se-
nior counsel David Cortman
said the framers of the Consti-
tution prayed while drafting
the Bill of Rights. Americans
today should be as free as the
Founders were to pray, Cort-
man said.
From 1999 through 2007,
and again from January 2009
through June 2010, every
meeting was opened with a
Christian-oriented invoca-
tion. In 2008, after residents
Susan Galloway and Linda
Stephens complained, four of
12 meetings were opened by
non-Christians.
Appeals court ruled Greece,
N.Y., violated Constitution
with Christian prayers.

Raymond J. McGroarty, MD, FAAP
April 13, 2013
R
aymond J. McGroarty, MD,
FAAP, died on April 13, 2013,
in Tacoma, Wash., after being fa-
tally injured by an automobile.
Ray was born on Feb. 25, 1937
to James and Alice McGroarty,
and raised on West Liberty Street,
Ashley. He graduated from St.
Leos High School and Kings Col-
lege with honors. Upon gradua-
tion, Ray attended Dickinson Law
School until deciding that medi-
cine was his real calling. In his
words, I realized that law school
was a bad place to become a doc-
tor.
Ray graduated from Jefferson
Medical College in 1964, the last
all-male class. He interned at Jef-
ferson and completed a residency
in pediatrics in Philadelphias St.
Christophers Hospital for Chil-
dren. He was assigned to Madigan
Hospital while serving in the U.S.
Army and chose to settle with his
family in Tacoma. Ray practiced
pediatrics for more than 35 years,
never refusing care to a child re-
gardless of their familys ability to
pay.
Rays smile and unique wit will
be missed by those who knew and
loved him. He had an unending
intellectual curiosity and opti-
mism that propelled him through
life, no matter the circumstances.
Ray loved to converse and derived
great joy from the people around
him.
He cared deeply for the com-
munity, spending his adult life in
its service as a pediatrician and
community activist. He set up the
Urban Ecology Science Founda-
tion, a non-prot group that cre-
ated outdoor learning laboratories
in the citys untended open spaces.
He enlisted a core group of experts
in botanical studies from the Uni-
versity of Washington, the State
Department of Fish and Wildlife
and various Northwest Indian
Tribes. In addition, Ray founded
an organization for the families of
the graduates of Jefferson in need
of assistance and worked with
the homeless at St. Leo the Great
Church, Tacoma.
Ray is survived by children
Sean McGroarty, Erin Becker
(Brad) and Jill Piacitelli (Mike);

NEWYORKAfederal judge
must now decide whether the
nations largest police force has
been unjustly stopping black and
Hispanic men under a polarizing
tactic known as stop, question
and frisk, and whether changes
are needed to department policy,
training and supervision.
During a 10-week civil rights
trial that ended Monday, U.S.
District Court Judge Shira
Schiendlin heard testimony from
12 witnesses, all minorities, who
said they were stopped by New
York City police chiey because
of their race. She also heard from
police who made the stops and
from policy experts.
About 5 million stops have
been made in New York in the
past decade, with frisks occur-
ring about half the time. In or-
der to make a stop, police must
have reasonable suspicion that a
crime is about to occur or has oc-
curred, a standard lower than the
probable cause needed to justify
an arrest. Only about 10 percent
result in arrest or summonses
and a weapon is recovered a frac-
tion of the time.
The tactic has become a city
ashpoint, with the mayor and
police commissioner defending
it as a necessary crime-ghting
tool, and other city lawmakers
calling for major change.
During the trial, minority wit-
nesses told of frightening en-
counters with callous ofcers
they said were so bent on num-
bers that everyday New Yorkers
were harassed. The toll has been
massive, lawyers challenging the
New York Police Department
policy argued.
They laid siege to black and
Latino neighborhoods over the
last eight years making peo-
ple of color afraid to leave their
homes, Gretchen Hoff Varner,
a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said
Monday during summations.
She said that blacks and Lati-
nos make up a little more than
50 percent of the city popula-
tion, but 85 percent of the people
stopped by police as part of the
tactic are black and Hispanic.
In their testimony, many of the
ofcers who stopped the dozen
witnesses spoke of dangerous
crime patterns, crime suspect
descriptions and observations
they made while on patrol that
led them to use the tactic. City
attorney Heidi Grossman said
those clear explanations for
many of the stops none were
solely based on race prove of-
cers were not proling.
They failed to show a single
constitutional violation, much
less a widespread pattern or
practice, she said of the plain-
tiffs, adding there was no indi-
cation of racial motivation what-
soever.
Grossman said the witnesses
in the class-action case had
faulty memories and were woe-
fully lacking considering that
lawyers had years to nd the
best examples of people who
said they were stopped because
of their race.
The alleged complaints of
racial proling are more ction
than reality, she said. It is not
the NYPDs policy to target black
and Hispanic youth to instill fear
in them so they feel they can be
stopped at any time.
Scheindlin is not being asked
to ban the tactic because it has
already been found to be legal.
She has been asked to order
changes in how stop-and-frisk is
implemented. She has already
said the proling accusations
are troubling. She gave no time
frame on when to expect her rul-
ing.
On Monday, the judge played
devils advocate, interrupting
both sides to ask questions. She
asked the plaintiffs, for exam-
ple, if most of the crimes were
committed by minorities, why
would it be a surprise that those
stopped were mostly minorities.
She asked city lawyers whether
the argument that crime sus-
pects are mostly minorities then
leads to proling by police.
She even raised the possibility
of ordering the NYPD to make
ofcers wear cameras to help
dispel discrepancies between
encounters. Neither side had
suggested body-worn cameras as
a potential x, but a policing ex-
pert who testied made passing
reference to it as being useful in
another city.

In a Post-Conviction Relief
Act ling, Cuadra said he
should have a new trial be-
cause, among other claims,
his attorneys at the time of
his trial were ineffective, and
Kerekes was the actual killer
as well as an abusive boy-
friend and business partner
and controlled Cuadra.
Prosecutors objected to the
ling with their own in April,
stating that Cuadra testied
at his trial at great length
that it was all Joseph Ker-
ekes and used an I didnt do
it defense.
Crake said in her ling
the battered-spouse claim is
not a defense to a homicide
charge, his other claims are
meritless, and Cuadras re-
quest for a new trial should
be denied.
Cuadra is serving his sen-
tence at the State Correction-
al Institution at Coal Town-
ship and will remain there
until the November hearing.

do something.
When he arrives at his post
at the end of the month, Ze-
linka will consult with ofcers
there to make sure the detain-
ees are treated in a way that
meets with the law, though he
could not expound because
even he was not sure of his
duties.
His assignment arrived
just after a controversial pris-
oner hunger strike entered its
100th day. Most of the pris-
oners are refusing food, and
some are being force-fed by
orderlies to be kept alive.
Zelinka said he would have
been called up regardless of
the strike. His deployment is
to ll a needed position at the
detention camp.
Id be going whether there
were hunger strikes or not,
Zelinka said.
His orders are under Op-
eration Enduring Freedom,
declared after the Sept. 11,
2001, terrorist attacks.
Its striking that almost 12
years later, were still serving
under that order, Zelinka
said.
The hardest part of the as-
signment will be leaving his
wife and son, who just turned
4, Zelinka said.
If he were to stay for anoth-
er three months, he would be
granted leave to visit his fam-
ily. Because the post will end
before one year, he has to stay
for the whole time, Zelinka
said.
While the Gitmo assign-
ment will have its challenges,
and he feels both apprehen-
sive and excited about going,
his role is a small piece of the
militarys effort to protect this
country and he still reveres
those serving in war zones,
Zelinka said.
Me doing my nine months
in Cuba is nothing compared
to guys doing their time in Af-
ghanistan, Zelinka said.
State grant to provide Exeter with permanent stormwater pumps
EXETER The countys only storm-
water pump system not owned by Lu-
zerne County is to get an overhaul this
year to relieve some of the rental costs
that started owing in after the bor-
oughs pumps went down in 2006.
Rented pumps drain between $27,000
and $40,000 from borough coffers year-
ly when the rising Susquehanna River
triggers the Hicks Creek ood gate to
close. When this happens, creek water
must be pumped to the other side of the
levee, according to a grant application
for the project.
While all other pumping stations
in the county are owned by Luzerne
County Flood Protection Authority, the
Hicks Creek station is maintained by
the borough.
A grant, awarded by the state De-
partment of Community and Economic
Development and championed by state
Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Town-
ship, and state Rep. Phyllis Mundy, D-
Kingston, will pay about $580,000 for
two new 14-inch pumps, said Karen Sz-
wast, who wrote the grant application.
The pumps are used to force water
back into the river to prevent ooding,
said TomBarnard, a Hicks Creek Water-
shed Association board member and a
self-employed engineer.
If the ood gates are left open, the
rising river pushes water back up the
creek, Barnard said.
During high-river situations, the
pumps allow water to continue its nor-
mal ow and prevent rising water in
the creek, a solution employed at entry
points up and down the river. Efcient
as they may be, the pumps will not pre-
vent ooding during extreme cases,
Barnard said.
Every storms different in terms of
rainfall. (The pumps) will work for
some events. They wont work for a
100-year ood, Barnard said referring
to the type of extreme event that has a 1
percent chance of happening each year.
No ones claiming they will do that.
Back in the 1800s, when coal mine
owners moved mountains as they
pleased, Hicks Creek was rerouted in
a northeast direction to spill into the
Susquehanna near the Bennett Street/
Exeter Avenue intersection.
As coal companies wanted to get at
the coal under the old creek bed, their
rerouting solution pushed the creek
over some level places where water
tends to sit naturally, Szwast said.
During ooding in 2006, rising water
around the creek caused about $3 mil-
lion in damage, Szwast said.
It is what it is and were stuck with it
now, Szwast said.
Longtime Councilman Tom Shannon
said the ght for a county pump station
on Hicks Creek has gone on for 25 or 30
years without resolve.
Were the only town along the river
that doesnt have them, Shannon said.
Forty Fort, Kingston, everyone has
them but us.
Shannon said the borough aims to
have the new pumps installed and oper-
ational by the summer in time for ood
season.

yearly rental costs for pumps and

Outdated, broken pumps sit at the Hicks Creek oodgate in Exeter. The
borough was recently awarded a grant to replace the pumps, saving the town
money that would be spent to rent pumps every time the river gets high and
the ood gate closes.
Frances
Slocum
is now a
bus stop
A summer bus program starts
next month to get riders out of the
valley and into the fresh air.
Starting June 8, Luzerne Coun-
ty Transportation Authority buses
will take riders on weekdays and
Saturdays to Frances Slocum
State Park, part of an initiative by
the Wilkes-Barre YMCA, the state
Department of Conservation and
Natural Resources and the trans-
portation authority to lift Luzerne
County from its poor general-
health ratings.
In a ranking of the states coun-
ties according to healthiness,
Luzerne falls in 57th place out of
67 counties, according to a nation-
wide study by Wisconsin Popula-
tion Health Institute.
Despite the poor general-health
ratings, the study revealed the
county has plenty of outdoor play
spaces.
One of the things we were
good in was our outdoor parks,
said Carol Hussa of the YMCA
and a member of the countys
Recreational Facilities Advisory
Board.
Project organizers hope that by
making it easier to access inex-
pensive outdoor recreation, those
who do not drive but live in urban
areas can get out to help raise the
countys health score.
In Wilkes-Barre city, 24 per-
cent of the households dont have
a car, Hussa said.
Another planner said national
health organizations suggest that
a cheap ride to places where peo-
ple can exercise is a good place to
start. Improving access to safe,
low-cost outdoor recreation is a
strategy recommended by public-
health experts to improve their
overall health and combat obe-
sity, said Michele Schasberger, a
member of Live Well Luzerne, a
community health group based at
the YMCA.
This route has never been at-
tempted before, Hussa said, but
she praised transportation author-
ity ofcials for their cooperation.
Passengers older than 65 years
and children shorter than 42
inches ride for free. A round-trip
ticket costs $3 for everyone else.
Students younger than 18 can buy
a summer pass for $20.
On every day but Sunday, the
bus will depart at 11 a.m. from
the station near Public Square
and make stops in Edwardsville,
Kingston and Luzerne. The bus
also will make stops in Forty Fort,
Swoyersville, West Wyoming, Wy-
oming and Exeter before reaching
the park.
The return bus is to arrive at the
park at 3:30 p.m. Monday through
Friday and at 2:30 p.m. Saturdays
to allow for riders to catch con-
necting buses back in town.
The program will continue un-
til Aug. 24.

CONVENT RAZED TO MAKE WAY FOR MORE PARKING
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
T
he St. Aloysius convent on Barney Street in Wilkes-Barre was demolished Monday to make way for an additional parking lot for Masses and
religious education classes at the St. Aloysius worship site of St. Robert Bellarmine Parish. Diocese of Scranton spokesman Bill Genello
said the convent had been a home to Sisters of Mercy during their many years of dedicated service at the church and adjacent school. The
sisters left the site about six years ago and parish leaders determined that demolishing the structure to make space for additional parking
would be the best use of the space.

OTHER OPINION: AP PHONE RECORDS
A federal shield
for reporters
P
resident Obama
may be engaging in po-
litical damage control in
proposing that Congress
resurrect legislation to protect
the condentiality of journalists
sources. but his call for action
on a federal shield law is wel-
come even if it is inspired by a
desire to deect criticism of the
Justice departments seizure of
the phone records of the
associated Press.
although described as
a reporters privilege,
protection for conden-
tial news sources actu-
ally benets the public
by making it easier for
journalists to obtain in-
formation about wrong-
doing in government
and elsewhere. thats
why most states, includ-
ing California, provide
some protection for jour-
nalists who have prom-
ised condentiality to
their sources. in addition, long-
standing Justice department
regulations require it to seek
information from other sources
before going after information
that might expose a journalists
condential sources.
but a federal shield statute
is still necessary, as the Justice
departments acquisition of
the aPs phone records dem-
onstrates. in a letter to the aP,
deputy attorney General James
Cole insisted that the Justice
department followed its regula-
tions. but the current arrange-
ment is essentially an honor
system in which the government
decides whether it is complying.
Under shield legislation in-
troduced in 2009, the Fbi and
prosecutors would have had to
obtain a judges permission be-
fore obtaining information from
a journalist that might compro-
mise a condential source. the
privilege wouldnt have been
absolute: Judges would have had
to balance the public interest in
compelling disclosure
against the public in-
terest in gathering news
and maintaining the free
ow of information.
disclosure by journal-
ists could have been
compelled when the in-
formation sought by the
government was neces-
sary to prevent a death
or kidnapping, an act of
terrorism or other sig-
nicant harm to national
security.
that legislation fal-
tered over several issues, in-
cluding the scope of the na-
tional security exception and
disagreements about whether
the privilege would be available
to citizen journalists and blog-
gers. support also softened after
WikiLeaks disseminated reams
of classied information.
Politically motivated or not,
Obamas enthusiasm for a shield
law is a positive development,
especially given his administra-
tions record of pursuing the
press to prosecute government
ofcials who violate condenti-
ality rules.

Internet steps put
privacy at risk
t
he Fbi wants new
tools to monitor peo-
ple online, and the
Obama administration
soon might ofcially endorse
the plan. it would mark another
alarming escalation in federal
access to americans personal
information, and that is not even
the worst thing. if the bureau
gets its way, it would create se-
curity vulnerabilities that hack-
ers and identity thieves could
exploit.
in the past, law enforcement
could listen in on phone con-
versations. today, people store
their records online and use sky-
pe or Google+ to chat. because
software often encrypts the data,
eavesdropping is difcult, espe-
cially on short notice. the Fbi
dubbed this challenge Going
dark, a spooky moniker that in-
vites images of untraceable crim-
inals in a shadowy digital world.
the bureau therefore wants
internet companies to install
back doors in their systems.
Where investigators once literal-
ly tapped into a phone wire, they
now would slip through a soft-
ware hole created just for them.
they insist they would con-
duct only legal searches, but
legal apparently is open to
debate in some circles. internal
Justice department documents
obtained by the american Civil
Liberties Union reveal some in-
vestigators believe they do not
need a warrant. they argue a
subpoena signed by a prosecutor
is sufcient. that standard falls
far short of usual and proper ju-
dicial oversight.
Last month, U.s. sen. Pat rob-
erts of Kansas and 11 other sena-
tors fromboth major parties sent
a letter to the internal revenue
service questioning its authority
to obtain email and other elec-
tronic communications without
a warrant.
We hope they apply that same
vigilance to law enforcement.
Under the plan, companies
that do not provide access to
data when ordered would risk
stiff nes, starting at up to
$25,000 per day. many would
probably just install the back
doors.
back doors create a security
vulnerability, a soft spot that
hackers and identity thieves
would seek to exploit.

Church is no place for
Nuns On The Bus stop
T
his is in regards to my concern about
an announcement that the nuns On
the bus, cross-country tour will be stop-
ping to speak at st. John neuman Church
in scranton, on may 29.
the groups featured speaker will be
sr. simone Campbell, executive director
of network and leader of the nuns on
the bus. network, founded in the 1970s
by a group of radical nuns, distorts social
justice issues and ignores issues held by
the Church as non-negotiable, thereby,
subverting its authority.
the networks political actions are
so out of step with the teaching of the
Catholic Church that on april 15, the
Congregation for the doctrine of the
Faith (CdF) reafrmed the 2012 censure
of LCWr (and network) as undermining
the faith in the United states.
these consecrated women religious
pretend to speak on social issues with
the authority of the church. they have
no such authority. For example: they
uphold womens ordination, gender-
adjusted language in the liturgy, etc. if,
as they claim, network is Catholic, then
what explains their silence on traditional
marriage between one man and one
woman?
does sr. Campbell uphold Catholic
teaching on abortion? if so, when asked
at the dnC if she supports laws that
ban abortion, why did she reply, thats
beyond my pay grade. i dont know. ?
Without question, hosting this event in
any diocesan facility rises to the level of
scandal. it would be highly offensive to
priests and laity alike. it would wrongly
provide legitimacy to this disident orga-
nization.
it would give a platform to that which
runs counter to two millenia of Church
teaching solidly upheld and reafrmed by
Pope Francis.

Business-tax reforms
only benet corporations
A
s the times Leader reported on may
11, state revenue secretary dan
meuser visited the area to tout Gov. tom
Corbetts proposal to give large tax cuts
to corporations. the bottom line is mr.
Corbetts business-tax reforms are great
for massive corporations, but a terrible
and expensive deal for the rest of us.
if Corbett gets his way, some business
taxes will be eliminated, others will be
cut and big corporations will continue
to use the delaware loophole. it will
ultimately cost the taxpayers of this state
nearly $800 million a year, according to
the Pennsylvania budget and Policy Cen-
ter. in fact, for every dollar the governors
plan generates, hes giving businesses
$7. how are we going to make up for
the hundreds of millions of dollars in tax
revenue that will be lost? We all know
the answer: state funding for schools and
services will be cut and property taxes
will keep going up.
to make the situation worse, those
business tax cuts wont help the states
high unemployment rate. mr. meuser
paints a rosy picture by saying 18,000
jobs would be created over the next
decade. but thats fewer than the 20,000
jobs lost at schools caused by the gover-
nors $1 billion education cut.
Giving large corporations an $800
million tax break wont put teachers back
in classrooms or restore the $5.2 million
that scranton or $3.4 million that Wilkes-
barre schools lost under this governor. it
wont generate revenue to x our roads
and bridges or provide better services
and care for seniors.
the governor needs to shelve this plan
and stop worrying about cutting taxes
for large corporations. he needs to start
thinking about how were going to fund
our schools, invest in transportation, help
small family-owned businesses and get
our economy going again.

reCentLy, the
Lands at hillside Farms
received a Facebook
comment regarding our
items being expensive
and imported. at rst
i became defensive
because we work so
hard to stay true to our mission of local,
Usa-made, and fair-trade items. then
i realized that, despite our efforts, we
never really gave our customers the
details for our sourcing efforts. With
that said, i apologize and i am writing
to share our efforts, and hopefully good
news, with you.
believe it or not, we have more than
275 vendors. Out of this number, 98.91
percent or 271 are within our mission
guidelines; we are not satised with that
gure. the goal is 100 percent. breaking
it down: 40 vendors are within 25 miles
of the Lands, 18 others are from Penn-
sylvania, 199 are Usa-made from outside
of our state, 10 are fair trade and seven
are foreign. Of the seven foreign vendors,
four are better than fair trade and three
are slated for replacement as soon as we
nd alternatives.
i think it is fair to say that we are not
focused on imports. here is the hurdle,
the big question. how do we compete
with box stores on price and provide
sustainable products to you, our cus-
tomer? there are many different views
and answers for this question and i can
only share my own. i would appreciate
yours as well. here is my answer: i do not
measure all costs by dollars. i see cost as
having several components including the
cost to your wallet, the cost to the envi-
ronment, the cost to the unemployment
rate in our nation, the cost to the families
working in poor conditions in countries
that do not regulate workplaces as we do,
and so on.
i struggle along these lines. Over the
years, i simply found myself wanting
more stuff. then one day i looked
around me and realized that i have more
stuff in one room of my house than
most families across the globe have in
total. seeing this made me shift from vol-
ume to quality, and not just physical qual-
ity, but moral quality. Good luck buying
a fair-trade television. it is not going to
happen to the best of my knowledge. but,
in my opinion, that does not preclude us
from being responsible for the choices we
make when there are choices to make.
not one of us is perfect, and that in-
cludes the Lands at hillside Farms as an
organization. despite this, we are giving
it our best shot and we evolve by correct-
ing ourselves on a daily basis. We correct
ourselves in the products we sell, in the
safety for our customers, in the construc-
tion methods we employ. so it is about
much more than things. it is about
sustainable life choices that stretch from
things, to culture, to relationships and
beyond. it is about caring for the more
than 1,100 workers in bangladesh who
died making our clothes, even though
you never could have known them.
that is the deal with our retail efforts,
as transparent as we can give it. your sug-
gestions are always welcome.
i hope to see you at the farm as you
make sustainable choices.
Chet Mozloomis the executive director at The
Lands at Hillside Farms, a historic 412-acre non-
prot educational dairy farmlocated in Shaver-
town.

seen marching slowly across the
green landscape. As it churned
through the community, the
twister scattered shards of
wood, pieces of insulation, aw-
nings, shingles and glass all over
the streets.
Volunteers and rst respond-
ers raced to search the debris
for survivors.
At Plaza Towers Elementary
School, the storm tore off the
roof, knocked down walls and
turned the playground into a
mass of twisted plastic and
metal.
Children from the school
were among the dead, but sev-
eral students were pulled alive
fromthe rubble. Rescue workers
passed the survivors down a hu-
man chain to the triage center in
the parking lot.
James Rushing, who lives
across the street from the
school, heard reports of the ap-
proaching tornado and ran to
the school, where his 5-year-old
foster son, Aiden, attends class-
es. Rushing believed he would
be safer there.
About two minutes after I got
there, the school started coming
apart, he said.
The students were placed in
the restroom.
Douglas Sherman drove two
blocks from his home to help
rescue survivors.
Just having those kids
trapped in that school, that re-
ally turns the table on a lot of
things, he said.
Tiffany Thronesberry said she
got an alarming call from her
mother, Barbara Jarrell, after
the tornado.
I got a phone call from her
screaming, Help! Help! I cant
breathe. My house is on top of
me! Thronesberry said.
Thronesberry hurried to her
mothers house, where rst re-
sponders had already pulled her
out. Her mother was hospital-
ized for treatment for cuts and
bruises.
Search and rescue efforts
were to continue throughout
the night.
Oklahoma City Police Capt.
Dexter Nelson said downed
power lines and open gas lines
posed a risk in the aftermath of
the system.
Mondays powerful tornado
loosely followed the path of a
killer twister that slammed the
region in May 1999.
The weather service estimat-
ed that the storm that Mondays
tornado was at least a half-mile
wide. The 1999 stormhad winds
clocked at 300 mph.
Kelsey Angle, a weather ser-
vice meteorologist in Kansas
City, Mo., said its unusual for
two such powerful tornadoes to
track roughly the same path.
It was the fourth tornado to
hit Moore since 1998. A twister
also struck in 2003.
Mondays devastation in Okla-
homa came almost exactly two
years after an enormous twister
ripped through the city of Jop-
lin, Mo., killing 158 people and
injuring hundreds more.
That May 22, 2011, tornado
was the deadliest in the United
States since modern tornado re-
cord keeping began in 1950, ac-
cording to the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration.

tions were imposed to improve
the competitiveness of college
sports.
He said the NCAA moved
against Penn State to enforce
rules about honesty, sports-
manship and conduct, rather
than out of a conspiracy to help
other schools at Penn States
expense.
These are rules about pre-
serving the basic character and
integrity of athletic competition
and its relation to the goals, the
most important goals, of higher
education, Ballenger said. The
NCAAand its members, he said,
have a right to determine how
they want to maintain college
sports tradition of amateur ath-
letics.
Along with the ne, the con-
sent agreement also imposed
a four-year ban on postseason
play, a temporary reduction in
scholarships and the elimina-
tion of more than 100 wins un-
der former coach Joe Paterno.
The deal has angered many
Penn State fans and alumni.
A weakened Penn State foot-
ball program has implications
for students, businesses and
others, said Jim Schultz, Cor-
betts general counsel.
Penn State football is an
economic power source for the
commonwealth and its citi-
zens, Schultz told Kane, and
that power source would be se-
riously damaged by the NCAA.
The university agreed to the
penalties and is not a party to
the case. Corbett described the
penalties as an illegal effort by
the NCAA to increase the power
of its own president and give
some schools a competitive ad-
vantage.
U.S. District Judge Yvette
Kane said she plans to rule on
the dismissal request in the next
couple of weeks.
Sandusky, the teams former
longtime defensive coach, was
convicted last summer of 45
counts of child sexual abuse and
is serving a 30- to 60-year state
prison sentence.
Lieback, of Jenkins Township,
performed the duties.
Minetti will still work at
the Scranton hospital and will
be one of hundreds of recent
graduates taking the National
Council Licensure Examina-
tion for Registered Nurses this
summer so they can become
registered nurses. She said the
profession has long been her
dream.
Its something Ive always
wanted to do. Its the ability to
care for people, Minetti said.
Christine Thomas, 35, of
Wilkes-Barre, said she has
dreamed of being a nurse since
kindergarten, and her dream
was realized at age 19 when
she became a certied nursing
assistant. After nine years, she
became a licensed practical
nurse and will soon take the
RNtest. Through it all, she has
been employed by Golden Liv-
ing Center.
The work of a nurse is very
hard. You have to be ready and
willing to dedicate your time,
Thomas said. But its very re-
warding.
Deborah Vilegi-Peters, dean
of the school of nursing and
health sciences at LCCC, said
students who accept the life of
a nurse will be able to easily
nd work because of the grow-
ing need for their services as
Baby Boomers become senior
citizens and the countrys pop-
ulation continues to grow.
Peters said Baby Boomer re-
tirements in the eld are also
creating a plethora of open-
ings for nurses that need to be
lled.
Finding work locally
And many of those graduat-
ing locally should be able to
work locally.
LCCC ofcials say 85 per-
cent of their graduates wind up
working in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania. And so far, about 60
percent of this years class has
already found a job in the eld.
Geisinger alone has 146
open nursing positions, said
spokesman Matt Van Stone,
who noted that 69 of them
are in Lackawanna or Luzerne
counties. Since January, he
said, Geisinger Wyoming Val-
ley Medical Center in Plains
Township has hired 106 nurs-
es while Geisinger-Communi-
ty Medical Center has hired
114.
The outlook for nurses in
this area is very promising
right now, Van Stone said.
Wilkes-Barre General Hos-
pital recently hired more than
50 graduate nurses from local
colleges to ll open staff posi-
tions, and more openings re-
main to be lled.
With the demand for skilled
health-care professionals likely
to continue, our hospital con-
tinues to actively recruit for
and advertise nursing and oth-
er professional opportunities
at our facilities, Lisa Goble,
chief human resources ofcer
for Wilkes-Barre General Hos-
pital, said.
at least ve buses in its aging
eet. G. Davis did not submit a
reworked offer, opting instead
to le for the injunction.
Superintendent Frank
Galicki said the board and ad-
ministration initially decided
to cancel the Thursday meet-
ing, going so far as to post a
notice on the district website
blaming the decision on pend-
ing litigation. But Galicki said
an injunction hearing is set for
2:30 p.m. Wednesday, and as a
result the Thursday meeting
will go on as scheduled at 5
p.m.
Galicki didnt discuss the le-
gal issue further but did note
that time is running out for
a nal decision. The board
must pass a nal budget for
the 2013-14 school year by
June 30, and the transporta-
tion contract makes up nearly
$1 million of the $33.5 million
in spending.
Presumably, if the injunction
is granted, the board will have
to decide on the next step, and
if it is not granted the board
would have the option to vote
again on which company gets
the contract.
Emanuels original proposal
was substantially higher than
G. Davis, costing at least
$83,000 a year more, or just
shy of $416,000 over the ve-
year life of the contract. Eman-
uel was more expensive overall
both for daily school transpor-
tation and for extra- or co-cur-
ricular transportation.
The fact that G. Davis prom-
ised all-new buses in the origi-
nal proposal gave the company
an added edge. The state bases
transportation reimbursement
to districts partly on the age
of the bus eet: The newer
the buses, the higher the re-
imbursement. Going with G.
Davis would increase the dis-
tricts reimbursement
But supporters of Emanuel
Bus showed up in large num-
bers at the May 13 meeting,
taking turns extolling the
company known for provid-
ing free bus service to area
organizations, and questioning
the safety and reliability of an
all-propane eet. The board
relented and offered both com-
panies the chance to resubmit
proposals.
Emanuels new proposal
reduced daily transportation
costs by $56,000, making it
lower than G. Daviss original
proposal. Emanuel also re-
duced extra- and co-curricular
transportation costs to $1,613
less than G. Davis and prom-
ised to buy two new 2012 die-
sel buses and four new 2014
buses.
According to the districts
analysis, that wasnt enough to
beat the original G. Davis pro-
posal. While Emanuels new
offer is cheaper for the actual
transportation of students, the
21 new buses promised by G.
Davis would still net the dis-
trict about $30,326 more in
state reimbursements. When
all the numbers are crunched,
G. Davis is still $7,606 cheaper.
Galicki said Jones has re-
cused himself from represent-
ing the district at the injunc-
tion because he may be called
as a witness. The district has
retained Howard Levinson as
representation.

20 to 30 percent. However, turn-
out may be higher in some areas
because of heated races, includ-
ing the Pittston area magiste-
rial district judge race and a few
school board races.
Voter turnout was 33 percent
in the last municipal primary in
May 2011. Turnout was 36 per-
cent in the 2007 primary and
35 percent in the 2009 primary,
county records show.
Q: When can I vote?
A: The polls are open from 7
a.m. to 8 p.m.
Q: How will the results be
reported?
A: Live results will be up-
dated and posted at www.lu-
zernecounty.org after the polls
close. The courthouse rotunda
also will be open to the public
for people who want to monitor
results there.
Q: Many races have no can-
didates on the ballot. How do
I write in a candidate?
A: The write-in option ap-
pears on the screen as a choice.
When you touch the option, a
keyboard appears on the screen.
You must type in the individuals
name and then choose accept.
Q: Howmany write-in votes
are required to get on the No-
vember ballot?
A: The same as the number
of signatures required on nomi-
nating petitions for that post.
Its 250 for countywide ofces
and 100 for magisterial seats
and some other ofces. Most
of the municipal supervisor,
council and mayor seats require
10 votes. If multiple candidates
receive more than the required
votes, the nomination will go to
the person with the most votes.
Q: What happens if voters
misspell the names of write-
in candidates?
A: Candidates must notify
the election ofce to request
acceptance of write-in votes
cast under variations of their
name. For example, someone
named Michael Smith also
may request credit for votes
cast for Mikey and Mike Smith.
The county election board will
decide whether to count these
votes when the board meets to
certify the election. Its up to
the election-board members on
what variations are acceptable
to them.
Q: When will the election
board certify the election re-
sults?
A: The ofcial tally will be at
9 a.m. Friday in the second-oor
jury room at the courthouse,
and the election board must
meet to certify ve days later. If
the ofcial tally concludes Fri-
day, the board meeting will be
Wednesday.
Q: How do voters report
problems?
A: Call the election ofce at
(570) 825-1715. A log will be
kept of all complaints and how
they were resolved.
Q: Any reminders?
A: Voters need to cast their
ballots completely by making
sure they conrm their selec-
tions. Some walk away without
doing this. The very last screen
they should see will say the
ballot has been cast and thank
them for voting. At that time
they know their ballot has been
fully cast.
Q: Are there any ballot
questions or selections for
Independent and third-party
voters today?
A: No
Q: What about the states
voter ID law?
A: We have been instructed
by Commonwealth Court to
continue with a soft roll-out
like we did in the 2012 general
election, where poll workers are
required to ask for proof of iden-
tication.
The only voters who must
show identication are rst-
time voters.
Q: Who is a rst-time voter?
A: Someone who never voted
in that precinct before, never
voted in our county before or
never voted at all. If I moved
from one precinct to another, I
am considered a new voter in
the new precinct.
Q: What happens if a voter
is not listed in the poll book
at a polling place?
A: Poll workers are instructed
to contact the election ofce to
verify. If the person is registered
to vote in a different precinct
than the one they arrived at,
they will be asked to go to the
polling place in which they are
registered, where their name
will appear in the book and they
will be permitted to vote on the
electronic voting machine. If
someone is still demanding to
vote where they are not regis-
tered, the only option is to vote
on a provisional ballot, and it will
then be up to the election board
to decide if that vote is counted.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. For Brad
Thiessen and the Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton Penguins, the old adage that less is
more came to the forefront last night
at the Dunkin Donuts Center.
In nearly every statistical facet, the
visiting Pens were outplayed, and at
times overwhelmed by a Bruins offense
that held a whopping 47-18 shots on
goal advantage.
The Penguins became just the fourth
team in American Hockey League his-
tory to force a seventh game after drop-
ping the rst three games of a Calder
Cup series with a resolute 2-1 overtime
win.
Providence held a 20-2 advantage in
shots in the last 20 minutes of play.
He was exceptional tonight, said
Pens coach John Hynes of Thiessen
who improved to 4-1 in the postseason.
We had a lull there where we spent a
lot of time in our own zone. The shot
clock was high but it wasnt just the
shot clock, it was the quality of shots
that he faced. He kept us in it.
Trevor Smiths wraparound at 3:26
resolved the deadlock for the Pens who
will take on Providence Wednesday
night in the deciding game.
Theyre a good team and they held
us down (in our zone), but we were
able to hold the fort and bide some
time to get that big one in OT, said
Thiessen after the emotional victory.
Thiessen entered the night with a
1.08 GAA in ve post season appear-
ances.
They have a real strong offense over
there, and he took the game over for
us, said Smith, who deected the at-
tention to his net minder.
The Penguins subjected Bruins goal-
ie Niklas Svedberg to a pair of threaten-
KINGSTON Wyoming Seminary
turned an early, slim lead into an early big
lead after a six-goal rush.
It put visiting Lake-Lehman in a big dis-
advantage.
The long, sprinting scoring runs in tran-
sition were often the resulting combina-
tion of play fromAmanda
Schwartz, Kristen Meri-
cle and Becca Schulman,
who sparked Wyoming
Seminarys 16-5 victory
in the seminal round
of the District 2 girls
lacrosse tournament at
Klassner Field.
That trio of Blue Knights accounted for
10 of Seminarys rst half goals.
That outburst led Wyoming Seminary,
the No. 1 seed in the tournament, into the
District 2 championship showdown with
Delaware Valley on Wednesday at Klass-
ner eld at a time to be determined. Lake-
Lehman, the tournaments No. 4 seed,
concludes its season at 15-5.
It feels great to be moving on; our girls
played great today, said Wyoming Semi-
nary head coach Catie Kersey. Our abil-
ity to score early in transition early was
huge for us; it really prevented Lehmans
defense from setting up and packing it in.
It was a great team effort, and thats what
we need to continue to do.
Schwartz, in particular, dictated play in
the center of the eld and either scored or
assisted on ve consecutive Blue Knight
strikes before Mericle capped the six-goal
run to stake Seminary to an 8-1 lead.
The Black Knights tried to answer with
a pair of goals from Alyssa Adams, but the
same trio of Blue Knights ended the rst
half with each of them tacking on another
SHICKSHINNY For six innings
Monday, Northwest used awless de-
fense to hang with Dunmore despite
an offense that was handcuffed by the
arm of Bucks pitcher Sarah Ross.
But in the seventh inning, walks and
errors led to three unearned runs that
would ultimately end the Rangers
season in a 4-1 defeat.
We worked on
that and worked
on that all week,
Northwest coach
Karen May said of
her teams defense.
Weve been a little
shaky on defense throughout the year.
Every day weve worked on mistakes,
mistakes, mistakes and pounding the
ball to stop as many mistakes as we
can. We did it for six innings. We held
strong, but we just couldnt do it for
seven (innings.)
Northwest pitcher Kelsey Yustat
was solid on the mound, as she al-
lowed just two hits, no walks and one
run over the rst six innings. The
Rangers were able to keep the score
at 1-0 due in large part to several great
plays in the eld. Susie Mendegro
WRIGHT TWP. That insurance
run in the sixth inning sure was nice,
especially for a team that has strug-
gled to score.
Crestwood, though, didnt need it
because once again Alyssa Davies was
on top of her game.
Davies struck out 10 and scattered
three hits as the
Comets shut down
Dallas 2-0 Monday in
a District 2 Class 3A
rst-round softball
game.
Seventh- seeded
Crestwood (8-8)
moves to the quarternals and will
play at second-seeded Berwick (12-3)
at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. Tenth-seeded
Dallas ended its season at 5-10 with
its seventh loss by two runs or less.
Davies entered the game off two
strong starts a no-hitter against
Pittston Area and a shutout of Ber-
wick. She continued on Monday, retir-
ing 11 in a row after issuing a walk to
Katy Comitz to start the game. Taylor
Baker broke up the no-hit bid with a
sharp single to center with two outs
in the fourth.
After that, Davies retired eight of
the next nine Mountaineers, surren-
dering a one-out single to Kelly Sny-
der in the fth and a two-out single to
Sam Missal in the seventh. Dallas had
just four baserunners and only one
moved as far as second.
Still, Davies wasnt pitching in a
comfort zone. The game was scoreless
until Kiana Thompson gave Crest-
wood a 1-0 lead with an RBI single
in the fourth. The Comets could get
players on but couldnt get them in,
just like the regular season where they

OTTAWA Craig Anderson has his
game back, and just in time to give the
Senators a chance.
He was a pivotal part of Ottawas 2-1
double-overtime win over Pittsburgh on
Sunday that cut the Penguins lead to 2-1 in
the second-round series.
Anderson made 49 saves in Game 3, a
stunning performance that came after he
was pulled less than two minutes into the
second period of Game 2 after allowing
three goals on 21 shots.
You have to put
things behind you as
quick as possible and
regardless of wins or
loses you have to look
forward to the next day
and try and improve on
your last performance,
Anderson said Monday,
with both teams taking
a day off from skating.
I just kept things
simple and focused on
things I could control,
which was stopping the
puck. It was exciting. We found a way to
win. We did a lot of good things and we got
rewarded.
Anderson shut down Sidney Crosby on
a breakaway and made an acrobatic stop
on Evgeni Malkin, who used every move
in his repertoire to get around the Ottawa
defense and get a shot off in the rst over-
time.
One of the more clutch performances
from a goaltender, because of the stakes
and the landscape of the series and how
it would have changed had we gone down
3-0 in the series, said Senators forward
Jason Spezza, who made his playoff debut
Sunday following back surgery that limited
him to ve games at the start of the regular
season.

seminals Wednesday for a
game at Hanover Area.
Baylee Steininger ripped a
two-run single as the 12-4 Tro-
jans scored three times in the
rst inning. Maddie ODonohue
added a run-scoring double in
the third inning as Nanticoke
scored twice to build its lead to
5-0, and after Mid Valley pulled
within 5-1 in the top of the fth,
the Trojans answered with a run
in the bottom of the frame.
Steininger nished 3-for-4
with two RBI and a run scored,
while Benjamin had two hits in-
cluding the double, scored one
run and drove home another.

BILL ARSENAULT
Furman provided spark at top of Bucknell batting order this season
Corey Furman did the job for the
Bucknell baseball team this spring.
Furman (Wyoming Area) was the
teams designated hitter and leadoff
man. He hit .291 (52-for-179) to lead
the squad with six doubles, two triples
and a home run. He had 21 RBI and led
the Bison with 31 runs.
He also led the team in on-base per-
centage (.386).
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound junior was
rewarded for his efforts by being named
to the All-Patriot League rst team.
Corey had a solid year, coach Scott
Heather said. He will be counted on
to hit at the top of the order again next
year and will likely play one of the cor-
ner outeld spots.
Furman did see limited action in the
outeld this year, handling 68 chances
and making ve errors (.925).
Corey takes a level headed approach
to the game and stayed consistent all
year long because of that approach,
Heather said.
The Bison nished 16-33 overall and
10-10 in league play. They saw their
season end with a doubleheader loss
to Holy Cross in the Patriot seminals.
FRITZGES WRAPS IT UP Eric
Fritzges (Dallas) saw his standout ca-
reer with the Elizabethtown mens ten-
nis team come to an end when the Blue
Jays dropped a 5-1 decision to Francis-
can in the rst round of the NCAA Divi-
sion III Tournament.
Fritzges, who was named to the
Commonwealth Conference rst team,
nished his four-year career with a 56-
33 singles record and a 60-34 doubles
mark, giving him 115 total victories.
Eric completed nothing short of a
historic career, coach Matt Helsel said.
He nishes tied for second in career
victories helping his class win more
matches, more conference matches,
more conference titles and more NCAA
appearances than any other four-year
period in school history.
The coach felt that the key to his suc-
cess was the fact that he played with a
quiet condence and an iron will that
even his opponents respected.
He was a co-captain this year and
was a great leader, Helsel said. Per-
sonally, its been an honor to serve as
Erics coach and I will cherish the many
lasting memories and special moments
of his career.
GORMAN TOP PITCHER Scran-
tons Corey Gorman has been named
Pitcher of the Year in the Landmark
Conference.
Gorman (Coughlin), a fth-year se-
nior, nished 3-4 with a 3.55 earned
run average in 10 starts. In ve of those
starts, the left-hander took a loss or a
no-decision while pitching at least six
innings and allowing three or fewer
earned runs.
In 63.1 innings, he allowed 69 hits
and 22 walks while striking out a
league-high 78 batters. He did his best
work in league play with 52 strikeouts
and just 11 walks in six games, striking
out 10 or more in three of those games
including a season-high 12 in eight
innings in a 2-1 loss to Moravian.
Hes ranked ninth in strikeouts per
innings (11.08) and 17th in strikeouts
on the NCAA Division III list.
Gorman nished his career with
a 15-15 record and 227 strikeouts in
194.1 innings (10.5 per game). Thats
the best average in Scranton history go-
ing back to 1980.
Im very happy that Corey won the
award, coach Michael Bartoletti said.
His hard work paid off and his record
was not an indicator to how well he
threw the baseball this year. I really
think Corey will get a chance to pitch
at the next level.
YANORAHONORED Sophomore
Erika Yanora was named to the PSAC
Central Division rst team for her play

RANGeRs PeNGUINs
ranked 16th among 18 WVC
teams in runs scored.
So when Ashley Casem
blooped a two-out RBI single to
shallow right eld in the sixth,
Davies could relax a little.
It makes it really easy to
pitch when they do their job
and hit, said Davies, who was
3-for-3 at the plate. Going into
the seventh inning was a little
more comforting because my
team stepped up to the plate.
Dallas ended its year by be-
ing shut out for a third time.
The Mountaineers struck out
eight times against Davies in a
4-2 loss on April 17.
Tough to win when you
dont swing at strikes, Dallas
coach Joyce Tinner said. Sev-
en losses have been by two runs
or less. We just have to learn
how to nish games and stay
in games. To lose ve games
by one run and three of the ve
we lost in the bottom of the
seventh inning one we lost in
the bottom of the sixth inning
when we were ahead.
Crestwood had similar issues
early in the season before turn-
ing it around. The Comets have
won four of their last ve.
We started slow and we
talked about its not how you
start its how you nish, Crest-
wood coach Bob Bertoni said.
Weve won four out of our last
ve. Were playing really well
right now and Alyssa is pitch-
ing lights out. Shes pitching
well enough to compete for
a district championship, and
were going to need for her to
continue to do that.

made a pretty backhanded
grab on a ground ball in the
rst inning, and freshman
Molly Hasay made a nice run-
ning catch on a y ball in the
fth.
Trouble would nd Yustat in
the seventh when the sopho-
more walked Ross to start the
inning.
After a sacrice bunt ad-
vanced Ross to second, Ally
Borgias single to left was mis-
handled allowing an impor-
tant insurance run to score.
Kaitlyn Knebl drew a base on
balls to put runners on rst
and second, and both of them
would score two batters later
when Carly Tallos y ball was
dropped to make the score 4-0.
Four runs proved to be more
than enough for Ross, who
kept the Rangers off balance
at the plate. The junior would
strike out ten, and held North-
west without a hit until one
out in the seventh.
I think our girls, were a
little scared of that, May said
of the speed Ross showed.
Thats the problem with our
league. Weve got to play more
competitive teams. We did
more this year. But we have to
see that faster pitcher. Were
not used to it. You see a lot of
slow and then you throw in a
fast one.
It takes our girls a game to
adjust, and you dont always
have that game to adjust.
Tenth-seeded Dunmore
opened the scoring in the sec-
ond inning. Angela Kelly led
off with an ineld hit to short-
stop. Borgia would lay down
a sacrice to put a runner in
scoring position.
After a groundout, Gina Kel-
ly roped a run-scoring single to
right-center that scored Kelly.
Ross breezed through
Northwests lineup the rst
time around. She would need
just 32 pitches to retire the
Rangers in order through
three innings while recording
ve strikeouts.
We were just trying to
come out and be sharp, Ross
said. My coach was call-
ing great pitches and I had
great defenders behind me. I
had condence in what I was
throwing. Its really big for us,
because we didnt do so well in
the league this year.
Things kind of fell apart for
us. So were just trying to stay
together and move on.
The number seven seed
Rangers nally found success
on offense in their nal at-bat.
Maggie Murphy drew a one-
out walk, and was promptly
driven in on Olivia McCorkels
RBI double to right eld.
But Ross would settle down,
and retire the nal two hitters
on a strike out and y out as
the Bucks advance to play
Montrose in a District 2 Class
2A quarternal Wednesday at
4:30 p.m. at Montrose.

Some of them have been
playing together for a really
long time and it shows out
there, Kersey said of her veter-
an club. They do a really nice
job together. Amanda is a very
strong player both in the mid-
eld and in our attacks.
The second half continued
to play out in Seminarys favor
without the Black Knights ever
really threatening.
Kerseys squad continued its
attack, searching out the creas-
es in Lehmans zone to slash in
for quick pass and shoot com-
binations that produced a pair
of goals from Emily Granger,
another score from Mericle and
goals from Madison Dowd and
Lexi Quick.
By games end, Mericle had
ve goals on the day. Schwartz
nished with four goals and
three assists for the Blue
Knights. And Schulman, Grang-
er and Quick each contributed
two goals and an assist in the
seminal victory.
Two more late goals from
Alyssa Adams were the story of
Lake-Lehmans offense, kept in
check by a Wyoming Seminary
defense that repeatedly forced
Black Knight keeper Mackenzie
Borum into making her own
runs up the eld to nd an open
teammate.
I think the true measure is
how we played them today ver-
sus the beginning of the year,
and it shows that our team has
grown, Lake-Lehman head
coach Alex Wilson said. Im
happy with the progress in
spite of the result. But weve got
some speed and some good ath-
letes coming back next season.
Theyre in a position to be a
force next year if they take the
off-season seriously.

columbus rallies
past RailRiders
The Times Leader staff
COLUMBUS, OHIO - Chun-
Hsiu Chen singled home pinch
runner Matt Lawson with the
winning run in the bottom of
the 10th inning as Columbus
rallied from an early four-run
decit to sting the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, 6-5.
The Columbus rally began
against RailRiders reliever Josh
Spence, who entered the game
in the bottom of the 10th inning
but failed to get an out.
Matt LaPorta started the in-
ning with a sharp single to cen-
ter, and Lawson replaced him as
a pinch runner. Lennie Chisen-
hall then beat out a bunt single,
putting two runners in base with
nobody out.
Chen then laced the winning
single to left eld in front of
RailRiders outelder Zoilo Al-
monte, bringing home Lawson
to end the game.
That wasnt the rst time
Chen did some damage to the
RailRiders.
His home run in the fourth in-
ning off RailRiders starter Chris
Bootcheck gave Columbus its
rst run of the night and cut
Scranton/Wilkes-Barres lead to
4-1.
That was only the beginning
of a big Columbus comeback.
The RailRiders took a 4-0
lead in the third inning, as Josh
Bells bases loaded ineld single
brought home Brennan Boesch
with the games rst run. Thom-
as Neal then cleared the bases
with a three-run double to left
eld, scoring Zoilo Almonte,
Dan Johnson and Bell.
After Chens homer in the
fourth, the RailRiders re-estab-
lished their four-run lead when
Almonte and Johnson both
singled, and Melky Mesa ripped
a run-scoring double to put Co-
lumbus in a 5-1 hole in the fth
inning.
But Columbus caught up with
a four-run rally in the seventh in-
ning.
Carson started the comeback
with a double, and scored on a
single by Omir Santos. Ezequiel
Carrera doubled home Juan
Diaz, and Chisenhall tied the
game, 5-5, with a two-run single
to right eld.
The RailRiders didnt score
over the games nal ve in-
nings, while Columbus used
that time to snatch away victory
with an extra-inning comeback.

If Woods event leaves
congressional, Pa. course
could be next for tourney
By Joe Juliano
The Philadelphia Inquirer
BETHESDA, Md. The
head of the Tiger Woods Foun-
dation still smiles broadly when
asked about the contributions
of the ofcials, staff and golf
course at Aronimink Golf Club
during the two years the New-
town Square, Pa., facility hosted
the AT&T National.
And with the PGA Tour
event founded by the worlds
No. 1 player entering the last
two years of its contract with
Congressional Country Club, it
could nd a home at Aronimink
again.
Greg McLaughlin, president
and chief executive ofcer of the
Tiger Woods Foundation, said
Monday he has stayed in touch
with Aronimink ofcials since
the tournament left Delaware
County and would love to re-
turn there if Congressional did
not wish to renew its contract
with the event.
McLaughlin also said he had
talked to ofcials at other cours-
es in the Philadelphia area but
did not identify them.
We love Aronimink, no ques-
tion about it, McLaughlin said
at the AT&T National media
day attended by Woods. It was
phenomenal, an A-plus. Let me
just make sure Im clear: They
would be our rst choice, with-
out question.
Aronimink ofcials could not
be reached for comment.
The AT&T National moved
to Aronimink in 2010 while
Congressional was undergo-
ing renovations to prepare the
course for the U.S. Open, and
stayed there in 2011 when the
suburban Washington club host-
ed the Open.
The members at Congressio-
nal narrowly approved a three-
year contract for the tourna-
ment after its stay at Aronimink,
and the belief is that the club
would not want to give up the
course for the event past 2014.
Woods said Monday that tour-
nament ofcials were having
ongoing conversations with
Congressional. But he added
that the event has other options.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Char-
lotte Bobcats owner Michael
Jordan is changing his teams
name to the Hornets, said a per-
son familiar with the situation.
The person said Jordan will
detail the timetable for the
change to be completed at a
press conference the Bobcats
have scheduled for Tuesday.
The person spoke to The Asso-
ciated Press Monday on condi-
tion of anonymity because the
name change has not been pub-
licly announced.
NBA deputy commissioner
and COO Adam Silver previ-
ously said it would take about
18 months for the Bobcats to
change their name. That means
Charlotte could once again be-
come the Hornets by the 2014-
15 season.
The Hornets resided in
Charlotte from 1988-2002 be-
fore then-owner George Shinn
moved the franchise to New
Orleans.
The New Orleans Hornets
recently changed their name to
the Pelicans.
Silver said in an April inter-
view if the Bobcats decided
to change their name to the
Hornets it would be an enor-
mously complex process and a
very expensive process for the
team. From everything to the
uniforms, to the building, to
the letterhead to the signs on
the ofces all of that has to
be taken into account.
While he didnt estimate how
much the change would cost,
Silver did say the fact that the
league owns the rights to the
name Hornets could help speed
up the transition process.
Ill let (the Bobcats) speak
to their own time line, but
were supportive of whatever
they do, Silver said in April.
The Bobcats conducted a
Harris Interactive poll in Janu-
ary to determine if fans were
in favor of a name change. The
Bobcats have never announced
the results of those polls.

Allmendinger takinglife1 dayat atime
CHARLOTTE, N.C. AJ
Allmendingers parents attend-
ed their rst Indianapolis 500
in 1979, when they camped in
a grassy lot and watched Rick
Mears win his rst 500.
Their son was born two years
later Greg Allmendinger
named him after A.J. Foyt, his
favorite driver and for a time
it seemed like the Allmending-
ers would make it back to Indy
with him. Allmendinger had
risen through the open-wheel
ranks to become one of the top
drivers in the Champ Car Series
with a ve-win 2006 season.
But a NASCAR opportunity
came along and Allmendinger
switched series, and the dream
of one day cheering on their son
in the Biggest Spectacle In Rac-
ing began to fade.
Until one bad decision cost
Allmendinger the best job he
ever had and Roger Penske
decided to give him a rare sec-
ond chance.
Allmendinger will make
his Indianapolis 500 debut on
Sunday, seven years after he
left open-wheel racing in a
Penske Racing entry, no less. It
doesnt get much bigger or bet-
ter than this, and all these years
later, Allmendinger has nally
brought his parents back to the
500.
Hes posed for pictures at his
car with his parents, who ar-
rived in Indianapolis in time to
see Allmendinger qualify fth
on Saturday.
Then my Dad went and
found Larry Foyt and said,
Wheres your Dad at? I want to
go meet him, I havent met him
yet By the way, Im AJs dad,
Allmendinger said. Itll be cool
to really share this with my par-
ents, especially my Dad. For
them to experience this.
Its funny how life sometimes
works out, and Allmendinger
has learned enough in the last
10 months not to question why
things happen.
Allmendinger is a better per-
son because he stupidly accept-
ed a strange pill from a friend
who said it would help with his
fatigue. Allmendinger says the
pill he popped last June was Ad-
derall he didnt ask what it
was as he was swallowing it
and it caused him to fail a ran-
dom NASCAR drug test. Sus-
pended hours before the July
race at Daytona, Allmendinger
was out of a job since Penske
had no choice but to re the
driver when the backup B
sample also came back positive.
He participated in NASCARs
Road to Recovery program,
and learned during that time
he had to stop putting so much
pressure on himself, that his
happiness didnt solely depend
on his results on the race track.
He had Penskes support the en-
tire time, even though the team
owner had zero responsibility
to a driver whose six months of
employment had brought em-
barrassment to the great Penske
organization
Allmendinger didnt ask Pen-
ske why he was standing behind
him, why he brought him out to
the IndyCar seasonnale at Fon-
tana in September as his guest,
or why he continued to think of
ways to get Allmendinger back
in the race car.
When The Captain called and
asked Allmendinger if he had
any interest in running the In-
dianapolis 500, the only thing
Allmendinger said was Yes, sir.
Whatever you want, sir.
I feel very fortunate, the rac-
ing side of it is great, but that
hes cared enough to stay in con-
tact, Allmendinger said. That
means way more than putting
me in a race car. Im just enjoy-
ing the ride right now. Imnever
going to turn down a Roger Pen-
ske race car.
This Roger Penske car was
another opportunity for a dis-
graced driver, and it didnt
matter that it meant returning
to the racing hed walked away
from for the fame and fortune of
NASCAR.
Only Allmendinger found
things to very different when
he returned. The competition
was much improved all the way
down the grid, and driving the
year-old Indy car was harder
than his time in Champ Car.
I knew it was going to be
hard, but I didnt know it was
going to be this hard, he said.
Its shown that seven years
of stock car racing has trans-
formed me. Its everything
the downforce levels, how hard
you have to drive the cars to get
any kind of lap time. Going to
do the test with the series and
then going to the races that
eld is so strong. Being back in
the series, its a little frustrating
because I wish people under-
stood how good these drivers
are in this series.
It hasnt been easy, at all, and
Allmendinger has leaned on
Penske teammates Helio Cas-
troneves and Will Power in his
transition. It was Castroneves
who shook down Allmending-
ers car before his rookie ori-
entation at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, and Allmendinger
was touched that Castroneves
hung around on the pit stand
talking to him during his laps
on the track.
Teo off-limits to media
but not Maxim party
SAN DIEGO Manti Teo
isnt hiding out. Hes just not
talking to the media.
After being spotted attending
a party thrown by the magazine
Maximlast week in Hollywood,
Teo was back in San Diego at
the Chargers second open ses-
sion of organized team activi-
ties on Monday.
For the second straight week,
the former Notre Dame line-
backer was barred from speak-
ing with reporters.
Maxim conrmed that Teo
attended a party after the maga-
zine included his fake girlfriend
on its list of the worlds 100 hot-
test women.
The Chargers apparently are
trying to put the fake girlfriend
episode behind by keeping Teo
off-limits to the media until
minicamp in mid-June. Teos
attending the party seemed to
refresh in peoples minds how
the Heisman Trophy runner-
up was caught in an elaborate
hoax. The magazine put Teos
fake girlfriend at No. 69 on its
list, running a picture of an in-
visible girl in a bikini superim-
posed over an ocean scene.
Teo posed with several wom-
en at the Maxim party, includ-
ing models Kendra Wilkinson
and Courtney Caldwell, and
beach volleyball player Jess Gy-
sin.
Rookie head coach Mike Mc-
Coy said he didnt know Teo
went to the Maxim bash.
Hes going to make certain
decisions. Well keep that in-
house with what we think and
what were doing with that,
the coach said.
Teo was drafted by the Char-
gers in the second round.
He dropped out of the rst
round in part because of his
poor performance in Notre
Dames blowout loss to Ala-
bama in the national champion-
ship game. The fake girlfriend
hoax that was revealed in Janu-
ary and became a national sen-
sation didnt help, either.
The Chargers, who are trying
to rebuild under a new regime
after missing the playoffs three
straight seasons, have taken
unprecedented steps to limit
Teos time in front of the micro-
phones. The teamrefused to let
reporters do customary one-on-
ones with him after his intro-
ductory news conference dur-
ing the draft, and has continued
to refuse to set up one-on-one
interviews with the linebacker.
Teo did speak after the rst
practice of rookie minicamp on
May 10 but has been the only
player off-limits during OTAs,
which are practices in helmets,
jerseys and shorts.
Some reporters do have foot-
ball-related questions for Teo.
We have a plan like we have
for everything else, McCoy
said. Hes here. Hes a young
player. The organization has a
schedule for him like we do ev-
ery other player of putting him
in front of the media. Well do it
accordingly.
Hes doing a nice job and
hell be in front of you when we
put him out here.
McCoy was Denvers offen-
sive coordinator when Tim
Tebow was with the Broncos.
The Broncos never kept
Tebow off-limits to the media.
One Chargers rookie who did
talk was former California wide
receiver Keenan Allen, who
said he didnt think posting a
photo of himself online wearing
an Oakland Raiders cap would
cause the stir it did.

looked all year, and thats con-
dent and calm. Hes a guy that
has a good edge to him and I
think that suits our team well.
Hes real competitive, hes de-
manding of our team in front of
him and I think we have a good
dynamic.
The Senators put the game
away when Colin Greening
scored in the eighth minute
of double overtime. Game 4 is
Wednesday before the series
shifts to Pittsburgh for Game 5
on Friday.
Senators coach Paul Ma-
cLean, from his playing days,
knows about scoring goals --
he had 324 of them during his
NHL career. But he has trouble
venturing into the minds of
goaltenders.
Im concerned with (the
goaltender) all the time, but I
try to spend no time with them
at all, MacLean said Monday.
Rick Wamsley, our goaltend-
ing coach, does an outstand-
ing job with the goaltender.
Ive had the ability in the past
to score on goaltenders, but
Im not really sure how they go
about their business and I dont
pretend to.
We do spend some time
talking to them, but not about
how they play their position,
but just about keeping their
mind where it needs to be and
if there are any issues we can
solve.
Spezza put in some long min-
utes in his rst game since Jan.
27, also against the Penguins.
Its been a long road for me
and the longest season per-
sonally having to watch the
games, he said.
Pittsburgh coach Dan Byls-
ma thought it was the best road
game his team played during
these playoffs. But it irks him
that his team had a lead and a
power play with 1:27 seconds
remaining in regulation. Sena-
tors captain Daniel Alfredsson
tied the score with a short-
handed goal before Greening
nally put the game away.
We didnt accomplish our
goal of holding onto the puck
through that minute 27, Byls-
ma said. We gave up a second
dump and that was the one
they were able to come back
on a line rush that Alfredsson
scored on.
We had some good opportu-
nities, especially ve-on-three.
I think the Malkin chance, and
both Sid and Jarome (Iginla)
had some good looks, but An-
derson was up to the task. He
was real strong.

Red Wings top Blackhawks
The Associated Press
DETROIT The young De-
troit Red Wings have made the
mighty Chicago Blackhawks
look vulnerable, beating them
two straight times to gain an
advantage in their last playoff
matchup as Western Conference
rivals.
Gustav Nyquist and Drew
Miller scored 31 seconds apart
midway through the second pe-
riod and Pavel Datsyuk restored
a two-goal lead in the third to
help Detroit beat the Chicago
Blackhawks 3-1 Monday night
and take a 2-1 lead in the second
round series.
On Thursday night at home
in Game 4, Detroit has a shot
to put Chicago on the brink of
elimination.
Chicagos chances will im-
prove if Toews can end his goal-
scoring skid.
He doesnt have a goal in nine
playoff games, dating to last
year. He matched Patrick Kane
with a team-high 23 goals in
the 48-game, lockout-shortened
season. Toews did have a game-
high seven shots in Game 3.

1926 Earl Sheely of the Chicago White Sox
hit three doubles and a home run against the Bos-
ton Red Sox. Sheely doubled in each of his last
three at-bats the previous day to give him seven
consecutive extra-base hits, tying a major league
record. The six doubles in the two games also tied
a major league record.
1943 In the fastest nine-inning night game in
American League history, the Chicago White Sox
beat the Washington Senators 1-0, in 1 hour, 29
minutes.
1948 Joe DiMaggio had two home runs, a
triple, double and single to lead the NewYork Yan-
kees to a 13-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
1952 Duke Sniders home run highlighted a
15-run frst inning in the Dodgers 19-1 win over
the Cincinnati Reds in Brooklyn. Snider, Pee Wee
Reese and Billy Cox each made three plate ap-
pearances in the frst inning.
1996 Larry Walker drove in a career-high
six runs, hitting a pair of two-run homers, a triple
and a double in the Colorado Rockies 12-10 win
over the Pittsburgh Pirates. His 13 total bases set
a club record.

in the 10th inning and the New
York Yankees hit four solo hom-
ers in a 6-4 victory over the Ori-
oles on Monday night, extend-
ing Baltimores losing streak to

homered with one out on a 3-1
pitch from Jim Johnson, who
has blown three straight save
opportunities after converting
a franchise-record 35 in a row.
All three of those botched saves
have come during Baltimores
current skid.
Hafner added an RBI single in
the 10th inning for the Yankees,
who have won 10 of 13 to move

IN BRIEF
Chesapeake names new CEO
Chesapeake Energy has named
Anadarko Petroleum executive Robert
Douglas Lawler as its new CEO.
The appointment of the 46-year-old
Lawler comes after a tough year dur-
ing which Chesapeakes board ousted
its founder and the company worked to
shore up its nances.
The new CEO takes over as Chesa-
peake continues selling assets to pare
down an enormous debt burden. Chesa-
peake intends to sell $4 billion to $7 bil-
lion in assets this year. It has sold about
$2 billion so far in deals that have either
been signed or nalized.
Chesapeake shares rose 1.5 percent
to $20.57 in premarket trading Monday.
Actavis buyingWarner Chilcott
Actavis is buying Warner Chilcott in
an all-stock deal valued at about $8.5
billion that would create the third-big-
gest specialty pharmaceutical company
in the U.S. market.
The announcement Monday comes
after the companies said earlier this
month that they were in talks about a
possible pairing of one of the worlds
largest generic drugmakers, Actavis
Inc., with an Irish company that has a
portfolio of established, branded drugs.
The combined company will be in-
corporated in Ireland, and analysts say
that countrys lower tax rate is a key to
making the deal work. Actavis said it
expects about $400 million in after-tax
savings and cost cuts from the combi-
nation, counting the lower tax rate.
United ying 787s again
United Airlines is again ying the
787, four months after smoldering bat-
teries forced the plane to be grounded
worldwide.
A United 787 ight took off from
Houston on Monday morning and land-
ed in Chicago.
United Continental Holdings Inc. has
six 787s. Battery problems on planes
owned by other airlines prompted the
grounding. Federal authorities cleared
the planes to y again on April 19.
United plans to use its 787s on routes
from Houston to other U.S. cities this
week. It plans to restart international
ights on June 10.
The Federal Aviation Administration
lifted its grounding order last month,
and Ethiopian Airlines resumed 787
ights on April 27.
Boeing never found the root cause of
the smoldering batteries, but it has said
that it believes its x covers all possible
causes.

Economists counting on consumers
WASHINGTON Consumers will
help keep economic growth on track
this year, as new projections of their
spending indicate it will offset the hit
to the recovery from the federal gov-
ernments automatic budget cuts, a
panel of economists said Monday.
The National Association for Busi-
ness Economics estimated that the
nations economic output would grow
2.4 percent this year, the same as the
group projected in February.
Thats up from 1.7 percent growth in
2012. And the organization said growth
should pick up to 3 percent in 2014.
But in issuing a revised outlook, the
panel of 49 professional forecasters
said the automatic federal spending
cuts known as sequestration would be
a bigger drag on growth than antici-
pated three months ago.
At that time, before the cuts kicked
in March 1, the potential impact was
unclear as Washington politicians
scrambled to scale them back or de-
lay them.
The economists now project that
government consumption expendi-
tures and gross investment will de-
cline 2.3 percent this year, more than
double the 1 percent drop foreseen in
February.
But consumer spending is looking
stronger as the housing and labor
market recovers.
The panel revised its projections for
personal consumption expenditures,
saying they would increase 2.3 per-
cent this year, up from the 1.9 percent
February projection.
And consumer spending will rise
2.6 percent in 2014, the group said.
In February, it estimated 2.5 percent
growth next year.
Consumer spending increased 1.9
percent in 2012.

NEW YORK Special K was once
just a line of cereals. Today, its a diet
food empire.
The brand rst hit shelves in 1955 as
a no-frills breakfast alternative but now
caters to dieters who see its airy chips
and pastries as a way to beat cravings
and lose weight. And this summer, Kel-
logg Co. is building on its biggest mon-
eymaker with a hot cereal called Spe-
cial KNourish thats made with quinoa
and other grains.
The new line, which promises to ll
peopleupwith8grams of proteinand5
grams of ber, reects Special Ks push
to move in step with evolving trends.
Until now, Special K products largely
gave dieters low-calorie imitations of
their fantasy foods. But weight watch-
ers are increasingly looking for added
benets nutritional benets, rather
than just counting calories. Theyre
eating better, not just eating less, said
Noel Geoffroy, vice president of mar-
keting for Kellogg Morning Foods.
The Special KNourish hot cereal will
come in individual serving cups; people
add water and toppings that come in
separate compartments onthe lids. The
products, which have fewer than 200
calories, are slated to hit stores in July
and will come in Maple Brown Sugar,
Cranberry Almond and Cinnamon Rai-
sin Pecan. A line of Nourish bars will
comeinDarkChocolateNut, Cranberry
Bliss and Lemon Twist.
Special Ks evolution to stay relevant
is critical for Kellogg. The company,
which also makes Frosted Flakes and
Eggo wafes, has been struggling to
grow sales at a time when Americans
are looking for on-the-go options. Over
the past decade, for example, sales of
cold cereals in the U.S. have grown just
6 percent to $8.9 billion, according to
the market researcher Euromonitor
International. But Special K has been
standout for Kellogg, with the brands
market share increasing to 5 percent,
up from 3.3 percent a decade ago, ac-
cording to Euromonitor.
The broader transformation of Spe-
cial K into a weight management tool
is also a reection of its Special K
Challenge ad campaign that rst aired
in 2003. Those ads famously promised
that women would be able to lose 6
pounds in two weeks by replacing
breakfast and lunch with Special Kand
having a sensible dinner at night.
It really hit on the need women
had for easy, attainable way to manage
their weight, Geoffroy said.
For many looking to shed a few
pounds, the Special K brand became
a psychological stamp of approval and
Kellogg has been churning out spinoff
products ever since. Shakes and bars
came in 2006, followed by cracker
chips in 2009 and popcorn chips last
year. Three types of breakfast sand-
wiches popped up in frozen food sec-
tions this past January.

Yahoo Inc. conrmed Monday
that it will pay $1.1 billion for the
popular blogging service Tumblr, in
a bold but risky move that CEO Ma-
rissa Mayer called a game-changer
aimed at adding new and younger us-
ers to Yahoos Web audience.
On many levels, Tumblr and Ya-
hoo couldnt be more different, but
at the same time they couldnt be
more complementary, Mayer said
on a conference call announcing the
deal. She described Tumblr as home
to one of the worlds most creative
groups of storytellers.
As expected, Mayer said Tumblr
founder David Karp will continue to
run the service as a separate, New
York-based entity within Yahoo. Yahoo
will work with Tumblr which has
a trendy reputation among younger
Internet users as a place to share mus-
ings, photos and creative visual work
to help it expand and gradually in-
troduce more advertising, she said.
But in an acknowledgment that
many Tumblr fans may be con-
cerned that Yahoo would change the
site, Mayer stressed repeatedly that
while we are acquiring the business,
we are making a sincere promise to
not screw it up.
Tumblr, which had only $13 mil-
lion in revenue, has been very slow to
introduce advertising on its site. May-
er said the company plans to increase
advertising, noting that major Hol-
lywood moviemakers and other com-
mercial brands already have some
presence on the Tumblr site. But she
promised that Tumblr advertising
will be in native and high-quality
formats that appear similar to other
Tumblr posts and do not seemjarring
to the viewers.
Mayer told analysts that Tumblr
has more than 300 million active us-
ers, which she said would combine
with Yahoos current audience of
about 700 million users to give the
company a reach of more than 1 bil-
lion people. While there may be some
overlap, she insisted the two compa-
nies mostly serve different age and
interest groups.

IN BRIEF
Chesapeake names new CEO
Chesapeake Energy has named
Anadarko Petroleum executive Robert
Douglas Lawler as its new CEO.
The appointment of the 46-year-old
Lawler comes after a tough year dur-
ing which Chesapeakes board ousted
its founder and the company worked to
shore up its nances.
The new CEO takes over as Chesa-
peake continues selling assets to pare
down an enormous debt burden. Chesa-
peake intends to sell $4 billion to $7 bil-
lion in assets this year. It has sold about
$2 billion so far in deals that have either
been signed or nalized.
Chesapeake shares rose 1.5 percent
to $20.57 in premarket trading Monday.
Actavis buyingWarner Chilcott
Actavis is buying Warner Chilcott in
an all-stock deal valued at about $8.5
billion that would create the third-big-
gest specialty pharmaceutical company
in the U.S. market.
The announcement Monday comes
after the companies said earlier this
month that they were in talks about a
possible pairing of one of the worlds
largest generic drugmakers, Actavis
Inc., with an Irish company that has a
portfolio of established, branded drugs.
The combined company will be in-
corporated in Ireland, and analysts say
that countrys lower tax rate is a key to
making the deal work. Actavis said it
expects about $400 million in after-tax
savings and cost cuts from the combi-
nation, counting the lower tax rate.
United ying 787s again
United Airlines is again ying the
787, four months after smoldering bat-
teries forced the plane to be grounded
worldwide.
A United 787 ight took off from
Houston on Monday morning and land-
ed in Chicago.
United Continental Holdings Inc. has
six 787s. Battery problems on planes
owned by other airlines prompted the
grounding. Federal authorities cleared
the planes to y again on April 19.
United plans to use its 787s on routes
from Houston to other U.S. cities this
week. It plans to restart international
ights on June 10.
The Federal Aviation Administration
lifted its grounding order last month,
and Ethiopian Airlines resumed 787
ights on April 27.
Boeing never found the root cause of
the smoldering batteries, but it has said
that it believes its x covers all possible
causes.

Economists counting on consumers
WASHINGTON Consumers will
help keep economic growth on track
this year, as new projections of their
spending indicate it will offset the hit
to the recovery from the federal gov-
ernments automatic budget cuts, a
panel of economists said Monday.
The National Association for Busi-
ness Economics estimated that the
nations economic output would grow
2.4 percent this year, the same as the
group projected in February.
Thats up from 1.7 percent growth in
2012. And the organization said growth
should pick up to 3 percent in 2014.
But in issuing a revised outlook, the
panel of 49 professional forecasters
said the automatic federal spending
cuts known as sequestration would be
a bigger drag on growth than antici-
pated three months ago.
At that time, before the cuts kicked
in March 1, the potential impact was
unclear as Washington politicians
scrambled to scale them back or de-
lay them.
The economists now project that
government consumption expendi-
tures and gross investment will de-
cline 2.3 percent this year, more than
double the 1 percent drop foreseen in
February.
But consumer spending is looking
stronger as the housing and labor
market recovers.
The panel revised its projections for
personal consumption expenditures,
saying they would increase 2.3 per-
cent this year, up from the 1.9 percent
February projection.
And consumer spending will rise
2.6 percent in 2014, the group said.
In February, it estimated 2.5 percent
growth next year.
Consumer spending increased 1.9
percent in 2012.

NEW YORK Special K was once
just a line of cereals. Today, its a diet
food empire.
The brand rst hit shelves in 1955 as
a no-frills breakfast alternative but now
caters to dieters who see its airy chips
and pastries as a way to beat cravings
and lose weight. And this summer, Kel-
logg Co. is building on its biggest mon-
eymaker with a hot cereal called Spe-
cial KNourish thats made with quinoa
and other grains.
The new line, which promises to ll
peopleupwith8grams of proteinand5
grams of ber, reects Special Ks push
to move in step with evolving trends.
Until now, Special K products largely
gave dieters low-calorie imitations of
their fantasy foods. But weight watch-
ers are increasingly looking for added
benets nutritional benets, rather
than just counting calories. Theyre
eating better, not just eating less, said
Noel Geoffroy, vice president of mar-
keting for Kellogg Morning Foods.
The Special KNourish hot cereal will
come in individual serving cups; people
add water and toppings that come in
separate compartments onthe lids. The
products, which have fewer than 200
calories, are slated to hit stores in July
and will come in Maple Brown Sugar,
Cranberry Almond and Cinnamon Rai-
sin Pecan. A line of Nourish bars will
comeinDarkChocolateNut, Cranberry
Bliss and Lemon Twist.
Special Ks evolution to stay relevant
is critical for Kellogg. The company,
which also makes Frosted Flakes and
Eggo wafes, has been struggling to
grow sales at a time when Americans
are looking for on-the-go options. Over
the past decade, for example, sales of
cold cereals in the U.S. have grown just
6 percent to $8.9 billion, according to
the market researcher Euromonitor
International. But Special K has been
standout for Kellogg, with the brands
market share increasing to 5 percent,
up from 3.3 percent a decade ago, ac-
cording to Euromonitor.
The broader transformation of Spe-
cial K into a weight management tool
is also a reection of its Special K
Challenge ad campaign that rst aired
in 2003. Those ads famously promised
that women would be able to lose 6
pounds in two weeks by replacing
breakfast and lunch with Special Kand
having a sensible dinner at night.
It really hit on the need women
had for easy, attainable way to manage
their weight, Geoffroy said.
For many looking to shed a few
pounds, the Special K brand became
a psychological stamp of approval and
Kellogg has been churning out spinoff
products ever since. Shakes and bars
came in 2006, followed by cracker
chips in 2009 and popcorn chips last
year. Three types of breakfast sand-
wiches popped up in frozen food sec-
tions this past January.

a diet giant

Yahoo Inc. conrmed Monday
that it will pay $1.1 billion for the
popular blogging service Tumblr, in
a bold but risky move that CEO Ma-
rissa Mayer called a game-changer
aimed at adding new and younger us-
ers to Yahoos Web audience.
On many levels, Tumblr and Ya-
hoo couldnt be more different, but
at the same time they couldnt be
more complementary, Mayer said
on a conference call announcing the
deal. She described Tumblr as home
to one of the worlds most creative
groups of storytellers.
As expected, Mayer said Tumblr
founder David Karp will continue to
run the service as a separate, New
York-based entity within Yahoo. Yahoo
will work with Tumblr which has
a trendy reputation among younger
Internet users as a place to share mus-
ings, photos and creative visual work
to help it expand and gradually in-
troduce more advertising, she said.
But in an acknowledgment that
many Tumblr fans may be con-
cerned that Yahoo would change the
site, Mayer stressed repeatedly that
while we are acquiring the business,
we are making a sincere promise to
not screw it up.
Tumblr, which had only $13 mil-
lion in revenue, has been very slow to
introduce advertising on its site. May-
er said the company plans to increase
advertising, noting that major Hol-
lywood moviemakers and other com-
mercial brands already have some
presence on the Tumblr site. But she
promised that Tumblr advertising
will be in native and high-quality
formats that appear similar to other
Tumblr posts and do not seemjarring
to the viewers.
Mayer told analysts that Tumblr
has more than 300 million active us-
ers, which she said would combine
with Yahoos current audience of
about 700 million users to give the
company a reach of more than 1 bil-
lion people. While there may be some
overlap, she insisted the two compa-
nies mostly serve different age and
interest groups.

Taking care of your skin in the summer
STORIES BY MARY THERESE BIEBEL / [email protected]
George Evans, 18, of Hanover Township, at right, catches a ying disc in Kirby Park while
his friends Tom Madigan, 18, of Wilkes-Barre and Josh Foust, 18, of Rice Township, look
on. The young men all said they would wear sunscreen for a day at the beach, but not for
a few hours in the local park. Dermatologists would advise them to apply it more often.
To use sunscreen or to let the sun
shine on your bare skin?
For Dr. Nektarios Lountzis theres
no question.
If cigarettes had vitamin C in
them, would you smoke cigarettes
to get vitamin C? the local derma-
tologist asked rhetorically.
Of course, for a health-conscious
person, the answer would be no.
Even if cigarettes had vitamin C.,
which they dont, the dangers of
the nicotine and other hazardous
chemicals they contain would con-
vince you to look for your vitamin C
in tomatoes or oranges instead.
Similarly Lountzis, who is af-
liated with the Geisinger Health
Care System, said getting vitamin

Out here, no, said George
Evans, 18, of Hanover Town-
ship,
My mom tells me to, but I
forget, said Tom Madigan, 18,
of Wilkes-Barre.
So far, on a recent Thurs-
day, The Times Leaders com-
pletely unscientic survey was
turning up lots of people who
seemed to disregard the often-
repeated advice of moms and
dermatologists to slather on
the protection with an SPF of
30 or more.
Add to the mix 63-year-old
Peter Romanoski, a retired
construction worker from
Wilkes-Barre, who was work-
ing on his tan and explaining
he wants as little as possible
to come between him and the
sun. I have arthritis, he said.
The sun makes my bones feel
a lot better.
Im a little darker, he said,
describing his complexion. I
dont burn; I tan. I have friends
with lighter skin and I tell
them to be careful.
But, over by the tennis
courts we found Dolores Bren-
nan from the Delaware Valley
High School in Pike County,
watching high-school doubles
tennis competition and apply-
ing sunscreen with a protec-
tion factor of 100 to her face.
As a health and physical
education teacher, and a skin
cancer survivor, I recommend
it, she said.
Brennan was never a sun
worshipper, she said, but she
did grow up on a farm. As a
child, she remembere, we ran
around in our underwear a lot.
About 10 years ago she had
a blistered area on her face.
It looked like a blister that
wouldnt heal.
It turned out to be cancer,
which was removed at Lacka-
wanna Valley Dermatology in
Scranton through a miscro-
scopic procedure called Mohs
surgery.
They cut (the cancerous
area) out and take it across the
hall to a lab to analyze it and
see if there are good cells sur-
rounding it or if theres more
cancer. If theres more cancer
they have to go back and re-
move more, she said.
Brennan said shes fortunate
that she didnt need radiation
or chemotherapy. Now shes
careful to apply and re-apply
sunscreen, and she seeks
shade.
As students from her school
competed in their tennis
match, she watched from un-
derneath a canopy of large
maple trees.
I wouldnt sit over there,
she said, pointing at the sunny
levee.
Nearby, Bear Creek Town-
ship resident Rachel Frankelli,
who is a nurse, put her son,
Placido, back into his stroller
which was covered to protect
his delicate skin from the sun.
At 6 weeks old, she said, hes
too young for sunscreen, but
hell start wearing it when hes
6 months old.
Frankellis sister, Kasia Ko-
pec of Kingston, who is also a
nurse, said skin protection is
important to her family.
My kids are 7 and 8 years
old and theyre sunscreened
religiously, she said, adding
she always wears it herself,
too, to set a good example. If
I didnt, they would give me a
hard time.

Being a savvy shopper when it comes
to buying sunscreen should be a little
easier this summer, thanks to new sun-
screen regulations implemented by the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Dermatologists believe the new label-
ing requirements will take the guess-
work out of choosing an effective sun-
screen with the best sun protection.
Sunscreen labels now are required to
provide consumers with information
about whether a sunscreen will protect
against skin cancer in addition to sun-
burn.
Newlabels will also indicate whether
or not the product is water resistant.
Makeup and moisturizers containing
sunscreen that meets the FDAs test-
ing standards also will include warning
labels specifying their sun-protective
limitations.
Sunscreen has always been an im-
portant tool in the ght against skin
cancer, and these new regulations will
greatly improve the consumers ability
to make smart decisions, at a glance,
about a products effectiveness imply by
reading the label, said dermatologist
Zoe D. Draelos, consulting professor at
Duke University School of Medicine in
Durham, N.C. Everyone, regardless of
skin color, can get skin cancer, which is
why it is important for people to prop-
erly protect themselves from the suns
harmful rays.
On the label youll see whether the
sunscreen:
Is Broad Spectrum, which means
the sunscreen protects against UVB
and UVA rays and helps prevent skin
cancer and sunburn.
Has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF)
of 30 or higher. While SPF 15 is the
FDAs minimum recommendation for
protection against skin cancer and
sunburn, the American Academy of
Dermatology recommends choosing a
sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
Has a Skin Cancer/Skin Aging
Alert in the Drug Facts section of the
label, which means the sunscreen will
only prevent sunburn and will NOT re-
duce the risk of skin cancer and early
skin aging.
Is Water Resistant for up to 40 min-
utes or 80 minutes, which means the
sunscreen provides protection while
swimming or sweating up to the time
listed on the label. Sunscreen manu-
facturers now are banned from claim-
ing that a sunscreen is waterproof or
sweat proof, as the FDA has deter-
mined those terms are misleading.
And, heres another caveat from a
consumer watchdog group. SPF num-
bers like 100 or 150 can give users a
false sense of security, according to
the Environmental Working Group
because many consumers assume that
SPF 100 is twice as effective as SPF 50,
but dermatologists say the difference
between the two is negligible.
Where an SPF 50 product might
protect against 97 percent of sunburn-
causing rays, an SPF 100 product might
block 98.5 percent of those rays.
ThehighSPFnumbersarejust agim-
mick, says Marianne Berwick, profes-
sor of epidemiology at the University of
New Mexico.
Most people really dont need more
than an SPF 30 and they should reap-
ply it every couple of hours. Berwick
says sunscreen should be used in com-
bination with hats, clothing and shade,
which provide better protection against
ultraviolet radiation.
Advice fromthe American Academy of Dermatology
Sunscreen labels now are required
to provide consumers with
information about whether a
sunscreen will protect against skin
cancer in addition to sunburn.
will be diagnosed with mela-
noma this year or the 9,480 who
are expected to die from the ag-
gressive form of skin cancer.
However, there is another
school of thought.
Its kind of a battle between
two specialties, endocrinol-
ogy and dermatology, Lountzis
said.
Lountzis was referring to Dr.
Michael Holick, a biochemist
and endocrinologist from Bos-
ton University, who has written
a book, The Vitamin D Solu-
tion. In his book Holick says
getting vitamin D from the sun
reduces the risk of colon, breast
and prostate cancer as well as
other diseases and that benet
outweighs the risk of skin can-
cer.
So began a reporters search
for local health-care profes-
sionals who might agree with
Holick. They proved somewhat
elusive.
Dietitian Kristen Mannix
from the Geisinger Health Care
System pointed to fortied
bread, milk, yogurt and orange
juice as good dietary sources of
vitamin D and to sh as a food
source naturally high in that
vitamin. We encourage lots of
fortied food and sh a couple
times a week, she said. She did
not recommend venturing out
into the sunlight without sun-
screen.
Neither did Jaime McAndrew,
a registered nurse who was dis-
tributing sunscreen information
during a womens health pro-
gram.
Nor did Dr. Sumit B. Ghosh,
medical director for womens
health at the Veterans Adminis-
tration Medical Center.
Answering a question be-
fore a recent program on bone
health and osteoporosis, Ghosh,
who is a gynecologist, said he
recommends that his patients
get bones-beneting vitamin D
from foods and supplements,
not from the sun.
But Paola Montross, clinical
nutrition manager at the Vet-
erans Administration Medical
Center, says a short session of
sun exposure without sunscreen
might be a good idea.
It think 15 minutes, a few
times a week, she said. After
that brief quarter of an hour, she
recommends covering up.
Back to Lountzis, the derma-
tologist. He said the sun is not
the only concern when youre
trying to avoid the damaging ef-
fects of ultraviolet light.
Exposure to tanning beds
poses a cumulative danger,
he said. Every time you use a
tanning bed, you increase your
risk of skin cancer by 2 percent.
Think about what youre doing
with 50 exposures.
As for spray tans, he said,
theyre not safe either, because
they carry a risk of lung dam-
age.
So, should pale people stop
trying to darken their skin tone
with what used to be called a
healthy tan?
Its the year of the vampire,
Lountzis said with a cheerful
chuckle. A lot of people are ac-
tually going that way, like Tay-
lor Swift.
Which SPF does he tell pa-
tients to use?
In the past we recommended
SPF 15, but now I tend to rec-
ommend 30, he said. The rea-
son is because of unevenness of
application. On one area, you
might apply it thinly. Another
might be thick. You want to have
sufcient coverage all over.

ATLANTA An unfamiliar,
unlit pool and a split-second de-
cision to dive.
That tragic combination
changed Chase Jones life forever.
The 28-year-old University of
Georgia graduate broke three
vertebrae in his neck, leaving
him largely paralyzed from the
shoulders down.
This is something Im still
coming to terms with in some
way every day, said Jones,
who worked as a governmental
affairs ofcer for the Georgia
Public Safety Training Center
before his accident last August.
Once upon a time, I could
wake up and be ready to go to
work in 30 minutes, said Jones,
who moved back into his par-
ents ranch-style home in Car-
rollton, Ga. Now it easily takes
an hour and a half.
As summer approaches, folks
will begin using pools, lakes and
other waterways. Jones has one
warning: dont dive.
Motor vehicle accidents and
working mishaps account for
the largest percentage of the
more than 1.27 million spinal
cord injuries about 52 per-
cent, according to the Christo-
pher & Dana Reeve Foundation
and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Sport-
ing and recreational activities
account for 16 percent.
The study doesnt break out
how many are diving-related.
However, the University of Al-
abama at Birmingham National
Spinal Cord Injury Statistical
Center says since 2005 between
3 percent and 5 percent of all
spinal cord injuries are the re-
sult of diving accidents.
Diving-related accidents y
under the radar, but when they
happen, they are so signicant
and catastrophic, said Bridget
Metzger, director of injury pre-
vention and education at the
Shepherd Center.
Diving accidents represent
the fourth most common cause
of spinal cord injuries at the At-
lanta facility, which specializes
in medical treatment, research
and rehabilitation for people
with spinal cord injury or brain
injury. Males comprise roughly
80 percent of spinal cord injury
cases from diving.
I didnt realize I could get hurt
that way.
Ive been diving in that same
place my whole life.
People dont think about
shifting rocks and sand. Or that
theyre now 6 feet tall and div-
ing into the same shallow body
of water as when they were
younger and smaller.
Experts suggest that swim-
mers dont dive at all, or at least
jump in the rst time. Other
tips: no alcohol, avoid murky
water and know the waters
depth.
Metzger said, Whats so frus-
trating about diving accident
injuries is that while theyre
relatively rare, they are so pre-
ventable. Youre dealing with
one person making one deci-
sion. Its not like a car accident
where there can be a million
factors. Jones, a self-described
water rat who once swam off
the coasts of South Africa and
Mozambique, was injured at a
party. He hadnt planned to go
swimming. He did a fairly be-
nign dive and thinks he hit the
bottom of the pools shallow
end.
He must have lost conscious-
ness. When he came to, he was
oating face down in the water.
He knew immediately some-
thing was wrong.
Any head-rst dive is really
not worth it, said Jones, who
hopes to one day return to work.
Its been a trying year for Jones,
who has regained some move-
ment in his arms, hands and
neck. His mother, Sandra, helps
him exercise to strengthen his
muscles, and he has to use a lift
to move from his bed to a mo-
torized wheelchair.
You cant live your life in fear,
but you can be smart, said Alan
T. Brown, director of public im-
pact for the Christopher &Dana
Reeve Foundation, a New Jer-
sey-based nonprot that funds
research and helps improve the
lives of people living with pa-
ralysis.
Brown was paralyzed while
on vacation in Martinique when
an undertow pulled his legs
out from under him while, at
the same time, a wave crashed
down on his body.
Spinal cord injuries can be not
only damaging physically and
emotionally, but nancially as
well, he said.
During the rst year, for ex-
ample, medical and living ex-
penses can range from $750,000
to more than $1 million, de-
pending upon the severity of the
injury, according to the Univer-
sity of Alabama at Birmingham.
It was nearly a year ago that
16-year-old Austin Whitten, a
high school sophomore in Lafay-
ette, Ga., was severely injured as
he and friends were celebrating
the end of school.
The accident last June left
Whitten, an avid football, bas-
ketball and baseball player with
a promising future, paralyzed
below his upper chest.
They were just goong
around, having a good time
when they decided to go swim-
ming in the above-ground pool
at his buddys house. Whitten
did an unintentional belly op.
Afterward, Whitten realized he
couldnt move his arms.
He spent nine days in a Chat-
tanooga, Tenn., hospital before
being moved to the Shepherd
Center for several months.
Whitten gives credit to his
support system and his faith
in God and now helps coach a
Little League team.
If you see a no diving sign,
dont dive, he said. And if you
dont see a sign, pretend there
is one. People dive every day.
Ive dived a thousand times, and
that one time, I broke my neck.

It is well known that HPV(hu-
man papillomavirus) can lead to
deadly cervical cancer in wom-
en, but the virus is causing can-
cer in men as well. Throat can-
cers caused by HPVare showing
up typically in men with little
or no history of smoking, said
Dr. Kevin J. Cullen, an oncolo-
gist who specializes in treating
head and neck cancers. Cullen,
the director of the University of
Marylands Marlene and Stew-
art Greenebaum Cancer Center,
talks about the growing cases of
HPV-related throat cancers.
Q: Why are we seeing an in-
crease in head and neck cancers
related to HPV?
A: The reasons arent entire-
ly clear but may be related to
changes in sexual practices over
time. What is clear is that head
and neck cancers due to HPV
are rapidly becoming more com-
mon than cervical cancer in the
U.S. In less than 20 years, there
will be four times as much head
and neck cancer in men due to
HPV than there will be cervical
cancer in women.
Q: Are head and neck cancers
and cervical cancer caused by
the same type of HPV?
A: More than 50 variants or
types of HPV have been de-
scribed. Cervical cancers are
most commonly caused by HPV
16, but a signicant number are
caused by HPV 18 and less fre-
quently by other types. That is
why the most widely used vac-
cine is designed to immunize
against HPV 16, as well as HPV 6
and11 and18. Incontrast, almost
all head and neck cancers due to
HPV are caused by type 16.
Q: What types of patients are
being diagnosed with this type
of cancer?
A: The typical patients are
otherwise healthy men in their
late 40s or early 50s who have
little or no history of tobacco
use. They are also much more
likely to be white than other
races.
Q: What are the symptoms of
head and neck cancers related
to HPV?
The rst manifestation is usu-
ally a painless lump in the neck.
Less frequently, the patient will
notice a mass in the tonsil or
the base of the tongue which
may cause pain or interfere with
swallowing. The symptoms are
the same as in patients whose
cancers are not HPV-related.
Q: Because this is a newer
phenomenon, are doctors catch-
ing the cancers in early enough
stages to treat it?
A: In fact, because these can-
cers tend to grow fairly rapidly
once they develop, patients are
more likely to have advanced
disease at the time of diagnosis.
Q: What does treatment en-
tail?
A: These cancers are usually
treated with a combination of
chemotherapy and radiation.
Typically, the radiation treat-
ment is given once a day for six
or seven weeks, with chemo-
therapy given at the beginning,
middle and end of treatment.
The most widely used chemo-
therapy is cisplatin, which is
also used in the treatment of
lung cancer and other tumors.
Q: Are most people surviving
these cancers?
A: Yes, the cure rate is very
high. In patients who have
never smoked, the cure rate is
over 90 percent. Our research
and studies by other groups
have found that head and neck
cancer patients who test posi-
tive for HPV have much better
survival rates than patients who
dont have the virus. We found
a striking difference in progno-
sis between patients who are
HPV-positive and those who
are HPV-negative. In blacks, the
HPV infection rate tends to be
very low, and as a result, they
also have poorer survival rates
for head and neck cancer.
Q: What are the worst cases
of the disease you have seen?
A: Despite the high cure rate,
in some cases the cancer can
come back and it can be fatal.
We certainly have seen that, and
it is tragic.
Q: How can we prevent HPV-
related cancers?
A: This disease is highly pre-
ventable. Every young man and
woman between the ages of 13
and 23 should be vaccinated
for HPV. The vaccine not only
protects women against cervical
cancer but more recent studies
demonstrate it prevents oral
infection with HPV and so will
protect both men and women
against oral cancers caused by
the virus.

CHICAGO When soon-
to-be mothers are feeling ex-
hausted and ready to give up,
Krissy Maher, a labor and deliv-
ery nurse at Adventist Hinsdale
Hospital, regularly calls in the
Pushing Specialist.
In walks a 75-year-old wom-
an with soft white hair, wire-
rimmed glasses and hearts
printed on her hospital scrubs.
Jean Kingery carries the con-
dence of a nurse who has wit-
nessed the deliveries of thou-
sands of babies boys, girls,
quadruplets, even New Age
births with the mom under hyp-
nosis.
Kingery assures discouraged
mothers with encouraging
words: You can do this. Your
mother did this. Your grand-
mother did this, and you will do
this.
Its a pep talk that Maher, a
recent nursing school graduate,
understands well.
The Pushing Specialist is her
grandmother.
She has been my biggest
role model ever since I could
remember, said Maher, who
joined the hospitals labor and
delivery unit last year, following
in Kingerys footsteps.
When (patients) see my
grandma, they think experi-
ence. I can tell, it kind of puts
them at ease.
For the past year, the grand-
mother and granddaughter have
worked in the labor and deliv-
ery unit of the west suburban
hospital where 2,200 babies are
born each year. The two who
sometimes work together, and
other times pass mothers off to
each other during shift changes
usually dont tell patients
about their relationship. Its
not about us, both say with a
shrug.
But Maher, 24, routinely pulls
her Gran aside to ask for ad-
vice. And Kingery saves pieces
of pie in the break room refrig-
erator for Krissy to snack on
during her shift.
Given that its an accomplish-
ment for Kingery to still man-
age such a physical job at 75,
and for Maher to be hired into
such a position straight out of
nursing school, co-workers, pa-
tients and family members say
it is wonderful to see two gen-
erations with two different
sets of experiences working
with the same passion.
It makes it feel like a family,
said Evita Patel, a fellow nurse,
describing the pairs impact on
the whole unit.
Long before Kingery began
coaching mothers, she learned
how to be one herself.
She was born at Hinsdale
Hospital and grew up on a fam-
ily farm in Westmont, Ill. When
it came her turn to start having
a family, her three children were
also born at Hinsdale Hospital.
Although she had always had
an interest in nursing, Kingery
chose to put aside career plans
as she raised her two sons and
daughter, she said.
Her daughter, Debbie Maher,
now 52, has fond memories of
sitting at the kitchen table with
her siblings, excitedly recount-
ing the school day as their mom
prepared dinner.
On Friday nights, Kingery
made homemade pizza for the
family, and sometimes extra
for other families to enjoy. She
watched the neighbors children
whenever they needed help.
Every mother must choose
an approach that works for her,
Kingery said, and she felt good
about choosing to be a stay-at-
home mom. But as her children
got older, her desire to care for
other people grew.
At 40, Kingery went back to
school to become a licensed
practical nurse and took a job
working the overnight shift at
Adventist Hinsdale Hospitals
labor and delivery unit so she
could still drive her children to
school. Nearly a decade later,
her children grown and start-
ing their own families, Kingery
studied and worked her way up
to registered nurse.
Hospital ofcials estimate
that Kingery has participated in
the delivery of at least 5,000 ba-
bies and has cared for more than
10,000 new moms.
I always say, I get to see
a miracle every day, said
Kingery, who keeps a stack of
letters in her desk drawer from
families shes helped. People
are so grateful.
As Kingery embraced her new
career and eventually moved
with her husband to Naperville,
Ill., her granddaughter Krissy
grew up a few blocks away.
Krissy Maher remembers
home-cooked meals every night
made by her stay-at-home moth-
er, and elaborate birthday par-
ties where her friends dressed
as mothers, bringing their own
dolls.
For Debbie Maher, who had
graduated with a degree in
teaching before taking time off
to start a family, it felt right
to return to full-time teaching
when her youngest was in the
rst grade.
Whenit came time tochoose a
career for herself, Krissy Maher
wafed between her mothers
calling and her grandmothers
both teaching and nursing
would let her help people.
But ultimately, she remem-
bered the stories her grand-
mother told about the incred-
ible feeling of bringing new
life into the world. She decided
thats what she wanted, too.
Thrilled, Kingery directed
her granddaughter to a nursing
program where several young
nurses at the hospital had stud-
ied. For graduation from Cham-
berlain College of Nursing in
Downers Grove, Ill., students
were asked to pick a nurse who
had an impact on them to pin
them in a symbolic ceremony.
Kingery cried as she pinned
her granddaughters gown.
Kingery, who has seen labor
and delivery techniques and
medicine evolve a great deal
in her 36 years on the job, not
to mention womens attitudes
toward careers, said she works
hard to respect the views and
wishes of mothers of all back-
grounds.
She prides herself on helping
coach mothers in breathing in
such a way that packs the most
power in each push.
I always tell them, Its the
hardest work youll ever do in
your whole life, Kingery said.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My
boyfriend and I have
been together a year
and a half. I regret
moving in with him
when I did, which
was after only three
months of dating.
We have been through a lot, in-
cluding my struggle with various
health issues. Throughout this he has
become an insensitive person who
treats me like garbage. There has
been a lot of emotional abuse happen-
ing, and it has taken me quite a while
to be able to see it.
The other night I was about to
break up with him. Then he suddenly
changed his tune. He said: Im listen-
ing. Youre right. I need to change. I
love you.
Abby, at this point I really dont
care, but I gave him another chance.
Was I wrong to do that? He has
changed for now drastically but
I know he could easily go back.
I no longer love him. I also no lon-
ger find him attractive, and I actually
think hes immensely annoying. Hes
trying to get me to fall back in love
with him, but I really dont want to.
So do I stay or do I go?
Wavering in Canada
Dear Wavering: Re-read the last para-
graph of your letter, and you will see
in your own words why its time for
you to go. Frankly, it is too late. Pack
your bags. Theres nothing deader
than a dead romance.
Dear Abby: A friend recently shared
some great advice. Her mom is 86
and in poor health, so my friend put
together an emergency information
briefcase for the trunk of her car and
another one by the front door.
If anyone needs to take her mother
to the ER, all her important informa-
tion is in two places. This includes
medications, doctors, insurance
cards, Living Will, power of attorney
and family emergency numbers.
I took my friends advice, and it
turned out to be a godsend when I
had to take my 79-year-old mother to
the ER after a serious fall. The admit-
ting clerks said they wished everyone
would do this. (I also included $100
in cash in a small envelope.) I hope
you think her idea is worth sharing.
Glad I Did in Alabama
Dear Glad: If the admitting clerks
said they wished everyone would do
this, then its worth a mention in my
column. Readers, advance planning
such as this could save precious min-
utes in an emergency.
Dear Abby: Due to an accident I had
as a teenager, I cant father a child.
How far into a relationship should
I wait to tell a woman this? While I
wouldnt mention it on the first date,
I dont want someone to feel betrayed
if she wasnt informed.
Theres also the issue of finding a
woman whos OK with it. So far, the
ones I have dated ended the relation-
ship because they couldnt accept be-
ing childless or adopting.
Guy Who Needs An Answer
Dear Guy: Mention it when the sub-
ject of children comes up. Not every
woman wants children. Its nothing to
be ashamed of.
P.S. If you include the fact that you
cant father a child on your dating
profile, it will filter out those women
who do. Im advising you to prepare
for an avalanche.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Romance that has quickly lost its spark is unlikely to catch fire again
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The per-
son pressuring you believes that
his or her personal agenda is
more important than your com-
fort. When none of the options
please you, you can always
decide not to decide.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Remember what you wanted so
badly? Now you have it, and you
want entirely different things.
You can appreciate the cycle,
wherever you are in it. Your
wishes keep you rolling forward.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The
wonderful parts of life are often
offset by something dismal. This
is the way of the world, and
you deal with each scenario as
it comes, interpreting it in your
own poetic way.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Instead of trying to cope with
the circumstance, you want to
change it. Youll take on what
you can. You may have a hard
time accepting the fact that not
everything is within your control.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have
great feelings for beauty now,
and youll appreciate the seem-
ingly disordered aspects of it.
Youll direct peoples attention
to things they wouldnt have
noticed.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Power
can be a phantom. Its sources
are not always apparent. Keep
this in mind as you assess your
opposition and strategize your
own rise to power.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). As valid
as your concerns may be, its not
important that each one gets
addressed now. Helping others
who are in need will give you the
benefit of perspective.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In the
heat of the moment, your con-
versational partner will try to
prove a wrongheaded point. Let
it go. To argue would be proof
that you care to be considered
superior.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Your golden productivity hours
will be in the morning. Do a job
at 9 a.m. when your mind is
fresh. At 9 p.m., the same job
will take you twice as long to
complete.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Things that look good on
paper look even better when
carefully arranged within the
framework of a popular social
media site. The reality of such
things may be nonexistent.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The
egos involved at work may slow
everyones progress. There are
politics to be played here. People
who think a lot of their own con-
tributions want full credit before
they move forward.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
dont like to be tricked by any-
one, but especially not by a busi-
ness. People who do not stop a
wrong from happening are cul-
pable, and youll do what it takes
to deliver justice.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 21). Its
not about being the most tal-
ented or outstanding; heavens
will is carried out through your
simple, unassuming ways. You
will be praised, paid and reward-
ed, but that wont matter to you
nearly as much as the good that
comes from your loving actions.
Cancer and Leo people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 5,
21, 31, 50 and 43.
