CLEANING UP AFTER THE STORM
AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER
W
orkers clean debris from a storm drain on Mill Creek in Wilkes-Barre on Monday. The workers with the Federal
Emergency Management Agency have been cleaning up areas since the flooding last September. Mill Creek was
nearly empty on Friday and is now flowing with water after the weekend storm dropped more than an inch of rain on
the area. In other parts of the state, several inches of snow fell as the result of the late April Noreaster. For state and
local stories, see page 6A.
SCRANTON Federal prose-
cutors have asked a judge to ap-
point a medical expert to exam-
ine former state Sen. Raphael
Musto basedona report by a phy-
sician who says Musto is so ill
with liver disease that the rigors
of a trial could kill him.
Musto, 83, is scheduled to go
on trial on June 4 on several cor-
ruptioncharges. His attorneys re-
cently provided
prosecutors
with a report by
Dr. Cataldo Do-
ria, who said
Musto is being
treated for an
aneurismal sac
that is impairing the function of
his liver, according to court pa-
pers filed Monday by the U.S. At-
torneys Office.
Dorias report said Musto is
toosicktowithstandthe rigor of
trial preparation and the stress of
the trial itself, and that any com-
plications to his fragile health
condition can be fatal.
U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith
has asked the court to appoint an
expert toprovide anindependent
evaluation of Mustos condition.
Federal law allows a judge to ap-
point an expert to testify regard-
ing any relevant issue at trial,
Smith said. He noted Musto does
not object to the request.
With trial pending, the de-
fendants health and his ability to
assist in his defense are relevant
and ripe for the courts consider-
ation It is apparent that the ap-
pointment of an independent ex-
pert to conduct an examination
of the defendant is warranted,
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael
Consiglio said in the motion.
Musto was indicted by a grand
jury in November 2010 on charg-
es of honest services fraud, cor-
rupt receipt of a reward for offi-
cial action and false statements.
Prosecutors allege Musto ac-
cepted money and gifts froma lo-
cal businessman identified by
Mustos attorneys as real estate
developer Robert Mericle for
usinghis influence as a senator to
assist Mericles projects.
He was originally scheduled to
go on trial in November 2011, but
it was twice continued due to
health reasons. Smith said he ex-
pects the June trial date will
again be continued pending the
outcome of the medical examin-
ation.

NUANGOLA Some pre-bid
test boring has been occurring in
the borough without approval by
either the sewer authority or its
engineer, the Quad3 Group of
Wilkes-Barre, it was alleged at
Monday nights meeting of the
boroughs sewer authority.
Councilman Joe Tucker said a
contractor apparently interested
in submitting a bid on the pend-
ing sewer systemproject did test
boring work on Fawn Avenue re-
sulting in residents of this area
having their cable and phone ser-
vices severed for two days.
Tuckers allegation resulted in
authority solicitor Robert Gonos
issuing a statement declaring
that neither the authority nor
its engineer has given approval
for any test boring during the
bidding process.
Gonos said, however, that any
resultant action against a con-
tractor or firm is not the respon-
sibility of the authority or its en-
gineer but of council.
Tucker said he will file a report
with the borough and the police
this week. He said the affected
utilities restoredservice onMon-
day with a temporary fix.
The bidding process is sched-
uled to conclude on Friday, April
27 at 7 p.m., when bids are to be
opened. Rich Kresge, project en-
gineer, said more than 20 con-
tractors have obtained a bid
package that outlines specifi-
cations and procedures.
In other matter, Ron Walsh
of Nuangola Road, whose
property is adjacent to the mu-
nicipal building, objected to a
trailer intended for adminis-
trative and filing services be-
ing situated on borough land.
He saidboroughcode restricts
trailers from being utilized as
permanent structures.
He said he fears the trailer
will become permanent.
The trailer, which was de-
scribed as being federal sur-
plus, was purchasedfor $2,995
after the April 10 meeting .
David Pekar, authority
chairman, assured Walsh the
unit will be used only during
the length of the sewer pro-
ject.
Walsh said however that he
is going to pursue legal action.
In his report, Kresge, who
reviewed lingering permit and
procurement issues, also
stated the authority still faces
a demand from Joseph Gib-
bons, Luzerne County engi-
neer, that the authority stand
the expense of repaving Blyth-
eburn Road. Kresge said Gib-
bons wants these assurances
before issuing a highway occu-
pancy permit.

HAZLETON -- Angelo and Mi-
chael Greco, owners of a property
at Broad and Laurel streets, on
Monday night objected to the
passingof acitycouncil resolution
that would allow the city to pur-
chase that property through emi-
nent domain.
In another matter, city council
rescinded a resolution that would
approve consolidation of Hazle-
ton Public Transit with the Lu-
zerne County Transit Authority.
Both Grecos addressed council
at length, saying they would
wouldbeutilizingthepropertyfor
a vertical garden that might in-
cludesuchfeaturesasavegetarian
restaurant and family horticultu-
ral center.
When questioned extensively
by Council Member Karin Cabell,
Michael Greco reminded council
that it was not governments jobto
police private enterprise. He said
heandhisfamilyhavealonghisto-
ry of successful business and, al-
though the success of any busi-
ness could not be projected, he
would draft a sound business plan
that would benefit the communi-
ty.
I believe that you are just hold-
ing out for more money, Cabell
said.
Greco assured council the mon-
ey he had put into the property to
demolish the structure and main-
tain safety went well beyond the
fair market value of $65,000 that
thecouncil wouldpayfortheprop-
erty.
Despite the arguments, a reso-
lution granting eminent domain
over the property passed 3-2, with
council members Jean Mope and
Jack Mundie dissenting.
If thecityis not itself fiscallyre-
sponsible, I believe that they have
no right to confiscate property
fromarea businessmen, said Dee

WILKES-BARRE Nearly three
weeks after 14-year-old Tyler Winstead
died from a gunshot wound, Luzerne
County District Attorney Stefanie Sala-
vantis said Monday the investigation is
ongoing.
Winstead died April 5 after being
found shot in front of 117 Hill St., where
his friend Elijah Yusiff lived.
Yusiff told reporters the night Win-
stead was shot that he heard a gunshot
and sawa man driving away in a red ve-
hicle.
Immediately after the shooting, Lu-
zerne County 911 broadcasted a be on
the lookout for a red or burgundy, older
model Ford Taurus.
Since then, the search for the vehicle
has withered. Salavantis said she could
not say if police recovered the vehicle,
continue to search for it or if the report
of a red vehicle was untrue. I cant an-
swer that because I dont want tojeopar-
dize that information, she said.
Salavantis said due to the ongoing
probe she could not say if the shooting
was isolated, randomor if police believe
there is a gunman still at-large.
When asked if police have a theory
about Winsteads death to settle con-
cerns in the neighborhood about a gun-
man, Salavantis said she could not an-
swer. She said she hopes to provide an
update about the probe in the future.
Very soon, she said.
Winstead and Yusiff were said to be
walking home after playing basketball
at the Catholic Youth Center on South
Washington Street. Winstead lived at
121Hill St. withhis grandparents, Willie
and Carol Golden, his legal guardians.
Since the shooting, investigators
have searched117 Hill St. at least twice,
removing a bottle of bleach and a com-
puter tower. The search warrant affida-
vits were sealed for at least 60 days.
The application to the first search
warrant was redacted by removing the
top section that listed the criminal of-
fense and items to be searched for. The
application for the second search war-
rant was in the form of a petition that
did not contain areas to list a criminal
offense or items to be searched.
An autopsy determined Winstead
died froma gunshot wound to his chest.
His death has been ruled a homicide by
Luzerne County Acting Coroner Bill
Lisman.

IF YOU GO
Luzerne County officials are breath-
ing a sigh of relief because the Pennsyl-
vania Labor Relations Board has re-
versed an order that would have forced
the county to reinstate 36 union em-
ployees who were cut from the county
payroll when their jobs were out-
sourced in 2010.
The workers also would have been
entitled to lost wages estimated at $1
million annually.
County council members have been
monitoring the legal matter because it
wasnt resolved before they took office
in January and would have impacted
the countys strained 2012 operating
budget.
The ruling stemmed from an unfair
labor practices claim filed against the
county in May 2010 by unionized em-
ployees of the countys Workforce In-
vestment Development Agency, which
no longer exists.
The union the American Federa-
tion of State, County &Municipal Em-
ployees, or AFSCME argued the
county played a role in the outsourcing
of employment programs for adults
and underprivileged youths and failed
to negotiate the contracting out of jobs
withunionworkers as requiredby their
collective bargaining agreement.
Commissioners maintained the out-
sourcing was beyond their control be-
cause it was initiated and executed by
the autonomous Luzerne-Schuylkill
Workforce Investment Board.
A state hearing examiner had or-
dered the county to rehire the workers
and pay all their lost wages and bene-
fits.
County commissioners appealed the
ruling last June.
The Labor Relations Board reviewed
records and the law and concluded the
county did not have control over the
Workforce Investment Boards deci-
sion to subcontract the work, accord-
ing to its April 17 notification to the
county.
The county bid on the work, and the
Workforce Investment Board chose to
retain outside contractors instead, the
Labor Relations Board ruling says.
County union representative Paula
Schnelly said Monday she was in the
process of reviewing the decision, say-
ing it was very disappointing. Union
officials will meet with lawyers to dis-
cuss the matter, she said.
The union has the option to appeal
the ruling to Commonwealth Court.
Council Chairman Jim Bobeck said
there was certainly good cause to
overturn the examiners order.
If the ruling had been the alterna-
tive, the county could have had some
serious budgetary issues going for-
ward. I really dont knowhowthe coun-
ty would have funded such a decision,
he said.
CouncilmanEugeneKelleher saidhe
has been monitoring the matter, con-
cerned about the impact on taxpayers.
I feel relievedandthankful, hesaid.
Councilman Stephen A. Urban, for-
merly a county commissioner, said he
was confident the county would pre-
vail.
I thinkthis is a gooddecisionfor the
taxpayers, he said.
Ruling: County need not reinstate union workers
PLRB reverses order in case of 36
county union employees whose jobs
were outsourced in 2010.

WILKES-BARRE A Methodist
minister who was charged with form-
ing a new church in the area nearly
three years ago was honored Monday
night for her work in furthering peace
and justice.
The Rev. Marcelle Dotson was
awardedthePeaceandJusticeCenters
2012 Susan Merrill Constance Kozel
Award during a ceremony at Kirby Me-
morial Health Center.
A native of Holyoke, Mass., Dotson,
52, said she was charged with serving
as a church planter here because
United Methodist Church leaders rec-
ognized that the ethnic population of
the Wyoming Valley was changing.
Right now, we serve a pretty mono-
cultural group. And with the change in
demographics, it was felt that a church
was needed that would serve the needs
of a wider diversity of people. So I was
asked to come down and help get a
church started that would be more di-
verse in its offerings and in its perspec-
tive, Dotson said.
For example, rather than sing Chris-
tian music solely fromthe Western Eu-
ropean culture, congregants get to ex-
perience songs in Cherokee, Zulu, En-
glish, Spanish and other languages.
We doour services inEnglishandin
Spanish. Ultimately, we would like to
be able to be in a facility where we
couldreadanddothings inEnglishand
have listening devices so people could
hear it indifferent languages, she said.
The new church Field of Grace
Community of Faith is currently hav-
ing services at Dorranceton United
Methodist Church in Kingston.
Also receiving awards on Monday
were Adam Zapotok, a Hanover Area
High School student, and Jordan
Marsh, a 16-year-old volunteer at Ex-
celsior Hose Co. No. 2 in Duryea. They
were co-recipients of the Student for
Peace Award.
Described by his peers as a natural
leader, Zapotok distinguished himself
as an exemplary and invaluable volun-
teer at Peace Camp for Kids and has
served as a peer leader and peacemak-
er during the 2010 Diversity Camp at
Misericordia University.
Marsh, while assisting the fire de-
partment before and after the Septem-
ber 2011flooding, was so moved by his
neighbors losses that he made and
then sold a Christmas music CD to
raise money to buy toys for children
who had lost theirs in the flood.
One of Luzerne Countys greatest
needs is for people that believe in a
common good to step forward and be
recognized for their efforts, said
Peace and Justice Center Director Rod
Gereda. All of this evenings awardees
have stepped up to become ambassa-
dors for peace and justice.

WILKES-BARRE A Ply-
mouth woman who claimed she
stabbed a man to death in self-
defense pleaded guilty Monday
to a voluntary manslaughter
charge.
Sherry Ann Cease, 43, of
Prospect Lane, entered the plea
before County Judge Tina Pola-
chek Gartley in a case in which
prosecutors say she stabbed
John Wolfe, 59, after the two ar-
gued and Wolfe allegedly
choked Cease.
(Cease) felt it was necessary
to use force, Deputy District
Attorney Alexis Falvello said
Monday. She stabbed him two
times in the upper chest he
later succumbed to his inju-
ries.
Cease, represented by attor-
ney Demetrius Fannick, faces a
maximum of 20 years in prison
when she is sentenced on June
15, Polachek Gartley said.
According to court papers,
Ceases nephew, Charles Jess
Arnold, told investigators he
was with Cease when they ar-
rived at Wolfes Prospect Street,
Plymouth Township, home on
Nov. 30 shortly after 11 p.m.
Arnold said Wolfe was drunk
when an argument erupted
with Cease about boxes and
bags inside the house.
Arnold and Cease walked up
the stairs to the second floor,
where Cease noticed her televi-
sion on the floor. She went
downstairs to confront Wolfe
and a second argument broke
out.
The nephew said he heard
Cease yell, Get
away from me,
John. Leave me
alone.
Arnold walk-
ed down the
stairs and he
noticed Wolfe
had his hand
around Ceases neck and Cease
grabbed a knife and stabbed
Wolfe in the chest, according to
Arnolds statement.
Cease had been tentatively
scheduled to stand trial, but the
case had been continued a num-
ber of times after failed plea
agreements.
Trooper Lisa Brogan, a crimi-
nal investigator with state po-
lice in Wyoming, testified at a
preliminary hearing she inter-
viewed Cease a couple hours af-
ter the homicide and Cease ad-
mitted to stabbing Wolfe be-
cause he was choking her. She
testified she did not notice any
injuries or redness on Ceases
neck.
After calling her names,
Wolfe began pushing her into
the kitchen and, when she
couldnt back away any farther,
Brogan said, Wolfe grabbed her
neck and she couldnt break
free. Cease said she reached in-
to a drawer, grabbed a knife and
stabbed Wolfe once. When he
didnt let go, she stabbed him a
second time, Brogan said.
Cease said Wolfe told her,
Look what you did to me; you
put two holes in me, before he
went into the living room, sat
on the sofa, lit a cigarette and
then went to a neighbors
house.

WILKES-BARREThree repre-
sentatives of the human services
sector summed up the potential
impact of Gov. Tom Corbetts pro-
posed budget cuts in three words:
Werenot ready.
Bill Schoen, representing the
Pennsylvania Association of Reha-
bilitation Facilities, or PARF, Joe
Pierangeli, chief executive officer
at United Rehabilitation Services
and Jim Bobeck, CEO at Step by
Step Inc., said Monday the gover-
norsproposedbudgetcallsforcuts
to the funding for services to peo-
plewithintellectual disabilities.
They said state funding offered
tocountieseachyearforservicesto
individuals with severe needs will
be cut by 20 percent and trans-
ferred into a block grant program.
Theproposedfundingcutsthat are
part of this block grant proposal
will reduce services topeople with
intellectual disabilityservices.
Thethreemensaidarallywill be
held in Harrisburg on the Capitol
steps onMay5tourgeCorbett and
state legislators to keep funding at
thesamelevel.
The system is already fragile
enough, Pierangeli said. If these
cutsgothrough, youwill seereduc-
tions in services and many clients
will belost.
Schoen said special-needs clients
about to graduate high school will
havedifficultycontinuingtofindjobs
and services. Group homes will be
devastated, Bobecksaid.
Far-reachingeffects
The three men said the trickle-
down effects of the proposed cuts
would be far-reaching. They said
that, eventually, many clients
wouldendupseekingother servic-
es, andsome wouldendupintrou-
bleanddemandingmoreservices
some may even end up on the
streets or incarcerated.
The state wants to issue the re-
duced funding to the county level,
thereby creating a competitive at-
mosphere among the agencies.
They urge people to contact their
electedstate officials tohelpretain
thefunding.
Most affected agencies already
have begun seek-
ing alternative
funding sources,
buttheyfindthem-
selves competing
for thesamedwin-
dlingdollars inthe
community.
Schoen, Pierangeli and Bobeck
saidCorbettsproposedbudgetelim-
inates state funding ($842 million)
designated for seven county human
service programs, including com-
munity mental health and develop-
mental programservices, andestab-
lishesablockgrantforhumanservic-
esthatwouldreducethecurrentout-
laytothecountiesby$168million.
They said numerous advocates
for people withintellectual disabil-
ities testified at a recent hearing
that the proposed spending cuts
will result infewer services, longer
waiting lists and a lower quality of
lifefor their families.
Pierangeli and Bobeck said the
proposed cuts represent about 5
percent of their total budgets, or
$2.8 million for an agency the size
of Step by Step, which serves 15
counties. URSserves fivecounties.
StepbyStepemploys1,300people
and serves 2,000 clients, while URS
has100employeesand500clients
Because of the flexibility prom-
ised in the Block Grant, the cuts to
certain programs have the potential
ofbeingfargreaterifacountywereto
place a greater priority on one ser-
vice over another, Bobeck said.
Currently the funds are protected
becausethefundscometothecoun-
tyascategorical allocations; thiswill
belost under theproposedbudget.
Predictedconsequences
Schoen provided PARFs com-
ments on Corbetts proposed bud-
get, including:
Plans for offering services for
increasing care in the community
instead of institutions and nursing
homesareabandoned.Meetingthe
needs of people with disabilities
stays onalist of promises but it is
not onthelist of budget priorities.
Therewill becutsinbasiccare,

ployment services. Funding need-
ed to help people with disabilities
whoarefacingacrisisandforthose
inwaitinglines for services is cut.
Thereis noadditional funding
to serve the disabled who are not
currentlyenrolledinprograms, but
whowill needservices next year.
Theproposedbudget doesnot
provide the funding that will be
needed by many children with dis-
abilities. (Those children are now
cared for by an aging parent; next
year that parent may no longer be
abletoprovidecare.)
Thebudget offers noaddition-
al funds to help students with dis-
abilities tosecurea job.
Gov. Corbetts proposals are
more than sector is prepared

Experts: Human services cuts go too far
WILKES-BARRE The state
Commonwealth Court has upheld
a county judges ruling that denied
therenewal of theliquorlicensefor
the former White House Caf on
HazleAvenue.
In a 2-1 decision issued Monday,
thecourtagreedwithacountyjudge
that the taverns owners, Lisa and
Lou Ruzzi, had not done enough to

premises, which included two fatal
shootingsthatoccurrednearthebar.
The tavern and restaurant has
been closed since October 2007,
but the Ruzzis continued to fight
the Liquor Control Boards 2007
decision to deny renewal of the li-
quor license.
Thebar, locatedat198HazleAve.,
hadbeenplaguedbynumerous inci-
dents over the years. The LCBs ac-
tionwasbasedprimarilyontwofatal
shootings that occurred outside the
premisesin2006and2007.
The Ruzzis appealed the LCBs
decisiontoLuzerneCountyCourt.
Senior Judge Jerome Cheslock of
MonroeCounty, whowasspecially
appointed to hear the case, upheld
theLCBs decisioninMarch2011.
In an appeal to the Common-
wealth Court, the Ruzzis argued
they had made extensive efforts to
preventviolenceinsideandoutside
the tavern, including installing
metal detectors, cameras, lighting
andhiringa securityexpert.
CommonwealthCourtJudgesDan

With regard to the 2007 homi-

On this point we agree with the

Licensees cannot, and are not

prevent crime in their neighbor-
hoods, Leavitt wrote. Any liquor

The record shows the caf took

NEW YORK
No obvious remains found
T
he excavation of a Manhattan base-
ment yielded no obvious human
remains and little forensic evidence
that would help solve the decades-long
mystery of what happened to Etan
Patz, a 6-year-old who vanished while
walking to a bus stop 33 years ago.
On Monday, FBI and police complet-
ed a four-day search of a basement that
began with a search warrant after a
cadaver-sniffing dog detected the scent
of possible human remains. The base-
ment, once the workspace of a handy-
man, is down the street from where
Etans parents still live and along the
route Etan would have walked to reach
his school bus stop when he vanished
on May 25, 1979.
No obvious human remains were
found, but its still a missing person
case, said Paul Browne, spokesman for
the New York Police Department.
PHILADELPHIA
Priest says gang rape tried
A Catholic priest admitting a sexual
relationship with a teen said he had
been the victim of an attempted gang
rape by fellow seminarians, according
to testimony in a clergy-abuse trial.
Testimony on Monday also men-
tioned Pope Benedict XVI, who
weighed in on the priests 2005 censure
when he was a Vatican official known
as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.
Documents show the priest admitted
to the Philadelphia archdiocese in 1992
that he had sex with the high school
student for several years. An arch-
diocesan treatment center concluded
the priest was not a pedophile, but was
affected by his traumatic sexual devel-
opment. He remained in ministry for
another decade.
Its not clear if the trauma reference
was to the alleged seminary assault.
The priest told a therapist he had been
tied down by several seminarians who
tried to rape him and that a friend
came to his rescue. But the same friend
later twice abused him, the priest told
the therapist, according to documents
read in court.

Hudson in tears at trial
Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson broke
down in tears Monday while testifying
at the trial of the man accused of kill-
ing her mother, brother and 7-year-old
nephew in a rage four years ago.
Hudson was the first witness called
after prosecutors and attorneys for
William Balfour finished their opening
statements. During her brief but emo-
tional testimony, she told jurors her
family didnt want her sister to marry
Balfour and she spoke about the last
time she saw her family members.
The singer and actress began crying
when talking about seeing her family
the Sunday before the killings and later
when a prosecutor showed her a pic-
ture of her mother.

33 allegedly killed in Syria
Syrian troops armed with heavy
machine guns killed dozens in the
central city of Hama Monday, activists
said, just a day after chanting pro-
testers welcomed a visit by a U.N. team
sent to observe a shaky cease-fire.
The days violence added a danger-
ous new aspect to the U.N. teams
work: that the Syrian regime might
exact deadly revenge against oppo-
nents who feel empowered by the ob-
servers presence to go into the streets.
The truce was supposed to begin
April 12.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, the head of the
Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, said troops stormed the
town, firing assault rifles and heavy
machine guns, killing at least 33 peo-
ple.

CHICAGO What do hospi-
tals charge to remove an appen-
dix? The startling answer is that
it could be the same as the price
of a refrigerator or a house.
Its a common, straightfor-
wardoperation, soyoumight ex-
pect charges to be similar no
matter where the surgery takes
place. Yet a California study
found huge disparities in pa-
tients bills $1,500 to
$180,000, with an average of
$33,000.
The researchers and other ex-
perts say the results arent
unique to California and illus-
trate a broken system.
Theres no method to the
madness, said lead author Dr.
Renee Hsia, an emergency room
physician and researcher at the
University of California, San
Francisco. Theres no systemat
all to determine what is a ratio-
nal price for this condition or
this procedure.
The disparities are partly ex-
plainedbydifferences amongpa-
tients andwhere theywere treat-
ed. For example, some had more
costly procedures, including
multiple imaging scans, or long-
er hospital stays. A very small
number were treated without
surgery, thoughmost hadappen-
dectomies. Some were sicker
and needed more intensive care.
But the researchers could find
no explanation for about one-
third of the cost differences.
Other developed countries
have more government regula-
tion that prevents these wild dis-
parities. U.S. critics of that kind
of system favor more market
competition, yet the study illus-
trates that the laws of supply
and demand simply do not work
well in health care, said Dr. Ho-
ward Brody, director of the Insti-
tute for the Medical Humanities
at the University of Texas Med-
ical Branch in Galveston and a
frequent critic of skyrocketing
medical costs.
The study was published
Monday in the journal Archives
of Internal Medicine.
The researchers examined
2009 data that hospitals were re-
quired to submit to the state on
19,368 patients with appendici-
tis. To get the fairest compari-
sons, the researchers included
only uncomplicated cases with
hospital stays of less than four
days. Patients were 18 to 59
years old.
The study looked at what pa-
tients were billed, before contri-
butions from their health insur-
ance if they had any. The fig-
ures dont reflect what hospitals
were actually paid.

KABUL, Afghanistan Washington
has pledged in a newly agreed strategic
pact to help defend Afghanistan militari-
ly for at least a decade after the country
formally takes control of its own security,
an Afghan official said Monday.
The draft agreement signed on Sunday
also says the U.S. will only take such ac-
tions with Afghan agreement. The Unit-
ed States also pledged it will not launch
attacks on other countries from Afghan
soil, according to sections of the accord
read out in parliament by Afghan Nation-
al Security Adviser Rangin Dadfar Span-
ta.
Afghan officials had previously said
that theywouldnot allowtheir countryto
be used to launch drone attacks into Pa-
kistan or other neighboring countries af-
ter the deadline for most foreign forces to
withdraw by the end of 2014.
Considering that stability in Afghan-
istan would be stability for Central Asia
andSouthAsia, the UnitedStates empha-
sizes that any kind of interference in Af-
ghan affairs would be a matter of concern
for the United States, he said, quoting
from the Dari language version of the
agreement.
If any interference occurs, the United
States, with the agreement of both coun-
tries, will give a proper response, includ-
ing diplomatic means, political means,
economic means and even military
means.
He stressed that any such actions
would be taken only with Afghan approv-
al.
The commitment is a reminder that
while U.S. forces are drawing down in Af-
ghanistan over the next two years, the
American military will remain active in
the country long after that.
The draft agreement on a long-delayed
strategic partnership agreement ensures
Americans will provide military and fi-
nancial support to the Afghan people for
at least a decade beyond the 2014 dead-
line.
The pact is key to the U.S. exit strategy
in Afghanistan because it establishes gui-
delines for any American forces who re-
main after the withdrawal deadline and
for financial help to the impoverished
country and its security forces.
The most contentious issues between
the Afghan and U.S. government were re-
solved in separate memorandums of un-
derstanding governing the conduct of
night raids and control of detainees
ahead of the strategic partnership pact.
The agreement as readout by Spanta is
broad, addressing a mutual commitment
to the stability of Afghanistan and to hu-
man rights. It does not address specific
troop levels or the size or location of
bases, thoughit does say that the U.S. has
no plans to keep permanent military
bases in Afghanistan.

U.S. to aid Afghans for decade
SANFORD, Fla. George Zimmer-
man, who slipped out of jail on $150,000
bail in the early morning darkness, went
back into hiding Monday and likely fled
to another state to avoid threats as he
awaits his second-degree murder trial for
the killing of Trayvon Martin.
His release from jail came less than a
day before the Sanford City Commission
rejected by a 3-2 vote the resignation of
Police Chief Bill Lee, who was roundly
criticized for not initially charging Zim-
merman.
Even though authorities can pinpoint
Zimmermans location with a GPS ankle
bracelet, that he must wear round the
clock, the public may not see him again
for some time. Zimmerman has waived
his appearance at his upcoming arraign-
ment next month, so he
can stay underground if
he wants.
Zimmerman already
has experience laying
low: For more than a
month before his arrest,
he eluded the media and
his whereabouts were
not known. His attorney has suggested
he hadseveral options for where Zimmer-
man can stay this time, and a judge indi-
cated he was willing to let Zimmerman
leave the state.
Until the next time he must come be-
fore a judge, Zimmerman will have to
skip such routine pleasures as eating in a
restaurant or taking a long stroll outside,
said Jose Baez, a former attorney for
Casey Anthony. Anthony, acquitted last
summer of killing her 2-year-old daugh-
ter, went into hiding after her release
from jail.
The police chief is on paid leave. He
had stepped aside temporarily in March
tolet emotions cool. Not toolongago, the
commissioners gave him a no confi-
dence vote that city Manager Norton
Bonaparte said still stands. The shooting
also led to the local prosecutor recusing
himself from the case, and the governor
appointing Angela Corey, who eventually
charged Zimmerman.
The majority of commissioners on
Monday blamedthe polarizationover the
Martincase andits handlingbythe police
department on outside groups. They said
theywantedtowait for anoutside investi-
gation to conclude into the police depart-
ments handlingof the case before accept-
ing the resignation agreement drawn up
by the city manager and Lee.

N A T I O N & W O R L D
WASHINGTON The Supreme
Court will referee another major clash
between the Obama administration and
the states, this one over Arizonas crack-
down on illegal immigrants. The case
could add fuel to the partisan split over
toughstate immigrationlaws backedby
Republicans but challenged by the ad-
ministration.
Like last months arguments over
President Barack Obamas health care
overhaul, the immigration case is ex-
pected to be decided at the end of June.
Wednesdays arguments will focus on
whether states can adopt their own im-
migration measures to deal with an esti-
mated 11 million illegal immigrants, or
whether the federal government has al-
most exclusive authority in the area of
immigration.
Arizona was the first of a half-dozen
states to enact laws intended to drive il-
legal immigrants elsewhere, a policy
known as attrition by enforcement.
Even where blocked by courts, these
laws havealreadyhadanimpact onfarm
fields and school classrooms as fewer
immigrants showed up.
If the federal government had been
doing and would continue to do its job
in securing the border here in southern
Arizona, this would not be an issue. Un-
fortunately, they failed to do that so Ari-
zona stepped up and said, We want to
be partners. Heres a role we think we
can play, said Sheriff Larry Dever of
Cochise County, which shares an 83.5-
mile border with Mexico in the states
southeastern corner.
The administration says it has both
increased border enforcement to keep
people fromenteringillegallyinthe first
place and picked up the pace of deporta-
tions. In its first two years, the adminis-
tration deported nearly 800,000 people,
far higher on a yearly basis than Presi-
dent George W. Bushs administration.
The Obama administration sued to
block the Arizona law soon after its en-
actment two years ago. Federal courts
have refused to let four key provisions
take effect: requiring police, while en-
forcing other laws, to question a per-
sons immigration status if officers sus-
pect he is inthe country illegally; requir-
ing all immigrants to obtain or carry im-
migrationregistrationpapers; makingit
a state criminal offense for an illegal im-
migrant to seek work or hold a job and
allowing police to arrest suspected ille-
gal immigrants without warrants.
Five states Alabama, Georgia, Indi-
ana, South Carolina and Utah have
adopted variations on Arizonas law.
Parts of those laws also are on hold
pending the outcome of the Supreme
Court case.
Civil rights groups that mounted le-
gal challenges independent of the ad-
ministrations say the laws encourage
racial profiling and ethnic stereotyping.
It blurs what used to be a very bright
line, that you cant stop someone and
ask for papers based just on how they
look, said Anthony Romero, executive
director of the American Civil Liberties
Union. But the impact is on citizens as
much as immigrants.
And the state laws already have had a
marked effect on peoples behavior,
whether or not the laws ever went into
force, the groups say.
In some states, crops rotted in fields
for want of workers to pick them.
In Alabama, where a provision re-
quired schools to check students citi-
zenship status, more than 2,000 stu-
dents stayedhomethefirst weekthelaw
was in effect, said Karen Tumlin, ma-
naging attorney for the National Immi-
gration Law Center.
Foreign employees, including a Ger-
man Mercedes-Benz executive, have
been detained or ticketed for not carry-
ing immigration documents.

intoMonday, Roinickcansavesometime
anda little money. Some creeks, like Mill
Creek in Wilkes-Barre, were nearly dry
before the rain began falling over the
weekend. On Monday the streams again
were flowing briskly.
It was nice to get rain; this will help
take us into the next few weeks without
irrigating, Roinick said.

WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County jury was select-
ed Monday to hear the case of
a Plymouth man charged with
neglecting and sexually abus-
ing a teen boy over a several-
year period.
Robert Caravella, 53, will be
tried this week on charges of
rape, child endangerment and
corruption of minors, in a case
in which investigators say a 13-
year-old boy was abused, never
attended school and never
learned how to properly bathe
himself.
The trial will start today
with attorneys presenting
their opening arguments.
Deputy District Attorney
Alexis Falvello is prosecuting
the case. Caravella is repre-
sented by attorney Andrew
Katsock.
According to prosecutors,
Caravella and Carol Ann Hann,
44, were charged in the case, in
which the 13-year-old boy was
found inside the couples home
in August 2010.
Luzerne County detectives
said in arrest records the boy
was never enrolled in school,
never taught how to use uten-
sils to eat and did not know
how to bathe or use a tooth-
brush.
He did not have any friends
and lacked social skills to com-
municate with other people.
Investigators also allege the
couples house was found in
deplorable condition with rot-
ten food and urine-soaked tow-
els.
Caseworkers with Children
and Youth Services in August
found the house unfit for hu-
man occupation with food rot-
ting, filthy floors and carpets,
garbage and a foul odor
throughout the interior.
An older relative of the cou-
ple would often urinate
throughout the house. And the
house was filled with cats.
Investigators learned in Ja-
nuary that the boy claimed he
was sexually assaulted by
Hann for several years. The as-
saults began when Caravella
would view pornographic mo-
vies inside the house and invite
the boy to watch with Hann,
the criminal complaint says.
The boy took his anger out
by killing Hanns cats. It is esti-
mated he killed 50 felines, the
criminal complaints say.
Hann is tentatively sched-
uled to stand trial on related
charges in August.
In an unrelated case, Cara-
vella is facing felony sexual as-
sault charges in county
court involving two girls,
according to court records.
Two girls in their teens al-
leged Caravella sexually as-
saulted them at a house in
Nanticoke and in his house
in Plymouth.
One of the girls further al-
leged Caravella made her
watch pornography on a
computer and look at por-
nographic magazines, ar-
rest records say. Caravella is
awaiting trial in that case.

COURT BRIEF
Luzerne County Council members are
expectedtovoteontheirfirstcollectivebar-
gaining agreement tonight a five-year
pact withcountydetectives.
Prior commissioners had criticized the
last contract, whichexpiredDec. 31, for its
combination of raises, longevity bonuses,
overtime and other benefits that allowed
three of the 10 detectives to be paid more
than$105,000last year.
Thedetectivesarewillingtogiveuprais-
esthisyearandget2percenthikesinthere-
maining four years of the proposed con-
tract, accordingtotwoinformedsources.
Detectives also agreed to increase pay-
ments toward health care to $100 per
month starting next year for employees
hired before Jan. 1, 2007, compared to cur-
rent payments of $30 per month for single
coverage and$75for other coverage.
The proposal reduces longevity andoth-
er perks for detectives whomaybehiredin
the future but doesnt alter themfor exist-
ingones, the sources said.
County Councilman Stephen A. Urban
saidhewont support theproposal because
the current pay and bonuses for detectives
are excessive.
A continuation of this current pay and
benefit package sets a bad precedence for
theotheremployeesof thecounty,hesaid.
Hedoesnt viewthereductionof benefits
for future employees as a concession be-
cause theres noguarantee any existingde-
tectives will leave infive years.
Urbansaiddetectivesshouldstoptaking
home county vehicles and stop receiving
$1,050per year for clothingandequipment
allowances and$1,200per year tocompen-
sate for use of their cell or home phones.
The county could provide phones at a
lower cost, he said.
The longevity bonus granted to detec-
tives uses a formula based on years of ser-
vice.Thelongevitybonusescostthecounty
a combined$70,299in2011, records show.
Continuingthispracticeisoutrageous,
Urbansaid.
The contract is headed for binding arbi-
trationif anagreement isnt reached. Coun-
ty officials have complained that arbitra-
tion-awarded contracts favor unions,
thoughunions dispute that.
Detectives work in the District Attor-
neys Office and assist local police investi-
gatingcrimes anddeaths.
Council Chairman Jim Bobeck said

proposal before the vote, Bobecksaid. The

Theres an entire school of kids
who have never seen a play and
have never been to a museum,
ever.

The executive director of the presidential arts
committee described a remote Montana school one of eight of the
nations poorer-performing schools to be adopted by well-known
performers such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Forest Whitaker as part of
a new initiative called Turnaround Arts.
Non-recycling businesses
should care about planet
I
read The Times Leaders editorial about
Earth Day (Keep your grub out of gar-
bage, April 20). I thought it was a great
effort! But how are we supposed to get
people to compost when they still dont
recycle?
The homeowner recycles more than the
business, even though the businesses make
the most trash. Three years ago I started to
notice if the pizza stores, fast-food restau-
rants and other places that dispense plastic
had a bin for recycling. I havent seen one.
I have asked the workers about it and they
just say, No, we dont. They say they
dont know why.
Well, why not? Is it that hard to put out
a bin, and then take the recyclables home
and add it to your own curbside recycling
bin? Or do the towns make it hard for you
to put it out on the curb? What is the prob-
lem?
It pains me every time I see the garbage
bins in a restaurant filled with plastic or
soda cans.
Every KFC uses in-store plastic for those
who eat in; the dinner plates have the
recycle symbol right on them, yet people
throw them in the garbage. Cant we all try
to do something? Just put out a collection
box with a bag in it and a sign.
I did this where I work. It gets filled. I
take it home.
I could name lots of restaurants and
even grocery stores with cafs, both local
and the chains, that dont recycle. Its hor-
rible. Why dont they care about our plan-
et? (That goes for you smokers who litter
your butts all over the place, too.)

Shows with the B word
have no redeeming value
S
hame on ABC, and God help the people
who think ABCs latest shows Dont
trust the B_ in Apt. 23 and GCB
(Good Christian Bitches) are good enter-
tainment.
ABC wont actually use the word bitch
in its programs titles, so itll just shock
people with the letter B. The troubling
part is that these shows do more than
shock people. These shows (like so many
others) depict people behaving horribly.
Apparently, watching people engage in
destructive, disrespectful, immoral behav-
ior is entertaining to many people. Do
audiences aspire to become the characters
they see? Maybe not consciously, but it
seeps into their minds and becomes the
new normal.
Thanks to Hollywood, our culture has
become rotten to the core. I am frightened
for the future of our children and our coun-
try.

Reader publicizes need
for organ/tissue donors
A
pril is National Donate Life Month, a
designation that is very special to me,
as my husband upon his death was a
donor, and my son recently received a
kidney transplant. I have seen both sides of
the organ/tissue donation program and am
keenly aware of the urgent need to have
more people authorize the organ desig-
nation on their drivers licenses.
My son was the recipient of his kidney
through the paired kidney exchange pro-
gram, and only through the generosity of a
living donor.
His donor had donated as an altruistic
donor, not knowing where the recipient
would be. A close family friend donated
her kidney on my sons behalf, thus cre-
ating a kidney chain. Her kidney traveled
to Missouri, and she is doing very well,
functioning with one kidney.
The public has the opportunity to regis-
ter to be living donors, thus freeing up
someone from dialysis and thereby resum-
ing a normal life again. For a liver trans-
plant only a small piece of donated liver is
needed, as the liver will regenerate.
There are more than 110,000 people
waiting for a life-saving organ transplant
nationally, with more than 6,500 waiting in
our region. An average of 18 people die
each day while waiting for a transplant.
We can do something to fix this prob-
lem, and I am writing to ask for your help.
Please register as an organ and tissue
donor. It takes less than two minutes, and
by registering, you give hope to the thou-
sands of patients on the waiting list.
To register if you live in Pennsylvania,
New Jersey or Delaware, visit www.do-
nors1.org. For other states, visit www.do-

Use casino tax money
to lower property taxes
I
recently read that the Mohegan Sun
casino paid $2.39 million in local taxes.
When the casino opened, the public was
told that the tax money would be put to-
ward lowering property taxes.
My taxes have not been lowered. As a
matter of fact, they have gone up. So
where is the money going?
The new Luzerne County Council raised
the county taxes this year by 2 percent. So
with the input from the casino revenue,
does that mean I will be getting back some
of my tax money?
Instead of using this money for frivolous
things, how about giving some of the peo-
ple who lost their county jobs their posi-
tions back?
Mr. Robert Lawton, please explain
where this newfound revenue is going.

Letter about voter ID law
said to have inaccuracies
I
n his recent letter to the editor concern-
ing the mandate that voters show a
photo ID in order to cast a ballot, Ed
Cole makes some misleading statements.
The law has not been declared unconsti-
tutional, as far as I have heard, in any
state. On the contrary, the U.S. Supreme
Court has ruled that such mandates are
constitutional with certain provisions.
Among the provisions is that the states
provide each elector, who cannot other-
wise afford one, a free photo ID. This also
eliminates the claim that obtaining such
ID costs the elector money and is essen-
tially a poll tax.
Yes, several states have had their photo
ID bills put on hold, not by the courts, but
rather by the Obama Justice Department,
under rulings related to the Voting Rights
Act.
As previously noted, the Supreme Court
already has ruled that such photo ID man-
dates are not an infringement, and the
Justice Department has no authority to
override the court. However, the Justice
Department apparently knows it need only
stall the bills, pending another federal
court ruling, until the November election.
This is not about justice; its about politics.
If so many people, especially the elderly
and poor, do not have photo ID, how is it
they are applying for and receiving all
sorts of government benefits? How are
they getting medical attention when feder-
al regulations mandate that all patients
show a photo ID? I was recently at my
doctors office and there is a notice posted
on the wall referring to federal red flag
regulations concerning ID theft.
I have not only worked the polls for
many years and seen various shenanigans,
I also have carefully read the Pennsylvania
statutes regarding voting and know that
accusing someone, let alone prosecuting
them, of voter fraud is difficult, to say the
least which is the basis for the low prose-
cution rates that opponents tout.
Finally, there also is the fact that voter
turnout in the states that have had photo
ID mandates has risen, as voters know
their ballots will not be negated by one
cast via fraud.

OR THE FIRST time
the shareholders of a
major U.S. bankcompa-
nyhavevoteddownthe
pay package of the chief execu-
tive.
It happened last week at Citi-
group, and it is a healthy thing.
Public shareholders finally be-
gin to act like owners. We hope
they keep it up.
In 2010 Congress passed the
Dodd-Frank Act, which requires
public companies to have a sha-
reholder vote on CEO pay. The
law requires only a nonbinding
vote but there can be power in
mere expressions of opinion.
Last year, the CEO lost the vote
at 41 companies, and nearly half
of those companies did change
the boss pay package.
Now comes Vikram Pandit,
the CEO of Citigroup, the com-
pany that owns Citibank. The
bank collapsed in 2008 and had
to be rescued by the U.S. Trea-
sury. TheTreasurygot itsmoney
back, andthensome, andPandit
agreedtoworkfor $1a year until
Citigroup turned a profit.
It did turn a profit, and the
boardquicklyraisedPandits pay
to $14.8 million plus $10 million
in retention money.
The banks stock has not reco-
vered from the crash, and last
month the Federal Reserve ve-
toedthebanks plantopayadivi-
dend on common shares.
The money managers with
large blocks of Citigroup stock
decided that Pandit had not yet
earned his $24.8 million. One of
them was quoted as saying,
Theres goodpayandtheres ob-
scene pay. Thats a sentiment
corporateAmericaneeds tohear
more of.
Citibanks board should re-
spect their shareholders deci-
sion.
The Seattle Times
OTHER OPINION: CITIBANK CEO
Obscene pay
kept in check?
F
OR THE GRIM Reap-
er, doing business in
Luzerne County in re-
cent years requires a
bit more patience.
People, especially men, were
living longer in 2009 than was
the case 20years earlier, accord-
ing to newly released data.
For women in Luzerne Coun-
ty, the estimatedaverage life ex-
pectancy reached 80 years in
2009, according to figures from
the Institute for Health Metrics
and Evaluation. Thats a gain of
1.9 years since 1989. Men,
meanwhile, achieved an aver-
age life expectancy here of 73.8
years, adding 3.2 years to the
time they can expect to polka,
eat gnocchi, watchthe NFLand
otherwise exist.
Give thanks to the brainiacs
propelling modern medicine
and the practitioners who deliv-
er health care across Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania for these
lengthier life spans, part of a
predictable, but reversible, na-
tional trend. A nod of gratitude
probablyalsogoes tothoseanti-
tobacco zealots (who brought
you smoke-free restaurants)
and environmentalists (who
champion notions such as elim-
inating coal-fired power plants,
aimed at improving our water
and air.)
Living longer, of course,
doesnt guarantee a better qual-
ity of life, so dont skimp on
your exercise regimen at any
stage, including the golden
years. You want to be as inde-
pendent as possible all the way
to your grand finale, right?
And if youre a 55-plus person
in Luzerne County wondering
how to fill all your available
months and years, dont count
out the benefits of community
service. Consider options such
as foster grandparenting and
the Retired and Senior Volun-
teer Program, eachcoordinated
throughtheAreaAgencyonAg-
ing.
Finally, we would be remiss if
we didnt emphasize that, even
with its recent gains, Luzerne
County still trails most of Penn-
sylvanias 67 counties in the
overall health of its residents
and average longevity. In gener-
al, we smoke more. We drink
way too much alcohol. And our
diets contain too much of the
wrong foods, making us more
susceptible to certain cancers.
You, of course, have the pow-
er to control those factors. You
can, for instance, keepyour cho-
lesterol in check and ditch bad
habits such as smoking cigs.
Not that we mean to nag.
Life, even if extended beyond
the former norm, is way too
short for that.
OUR OPINION: BETTER HEALTH
Life getting longer,
so lets live well
If 55 or older, explore options
that benefit you and the com-
munity such as foster grandpar-
enting and the Retired and
Senior Volunteer Program. Visit

PRINGLE -- A bid to request
permission to eliminate three
positions at the West Side Ca-
reer & Technology Center was
stymied Monday when it gar-
nered only seven of the eight
votes needed for approval.
The schools joint operating
committeewas askedtoapprove
curtailment or alteration of the
educational program as recom-
mended by the administrative
director, a move that requires
approval first by the majority of
the 15-member board and then
by the state Department of Edu-
cation.
The motion published on the
meeting agenda did not specify
the nature of the recommended
changes, but Solicitor Charles
Coslett said the board was re-
questing to eliminate a full-time
librarian, one physical educa-
tion teacher and a full-time co-
op teaching position strictly to
provide a more efficient and ef-
fective school program.
With 11 of 15 members of the
board present, the vote was sev-
en for, one against and three ab-
stentions. Coslett noted that if
the boardwants topursue the re-
quest to make the changes,
time is of the essence.
In another personnel-related
matter, the board approved a
three-year contract for support
personnel, conditional upon the
acceptance of some language to
clarify the available healthinsur-
ance benefits. Coslett said he
and the support personnels rep-
resentative had verbally agreed
to the language, but he recom-
mended the revised contract be
approved by the entire board be-
fore adoption.
As a result, the meeting on
Monday was not adjourned but
was instead recessed until next
Monday, witha closedexecutive
session scheduled for 5:30 p.m.,
followed by the public meeting
at 7 p.m.
Also, the board approved an
increase in the school lunch
price from $1.90 to $2 for stu-
dents and from $3 to $3.50 for
adults.

WRIGHT TWP. Like most
area school districts, Crestwood
is planning to do with fewer
teachers next year four high
school and five elementary posi-
tions, as well as a school nurse,
are cut in the preliminary budget
approved last week.
Unlike most districts, Crest-
wood isnt cutting through attri-
tion because it cant.
We had no retirees this year,
we dont expect any for several
years, boardmember Gene Man-
cini said.
Crestwood has another budget
problem most districts arent fac-
ing: Teachers agreed to a salary
freeze this year.
Superintendent Dave
McLaughlin-Smith said its diffi-
cult to gauge exactly what the re-
turn of pay raises next year will
cost, but estimated the freeze
saved the district about $682,000
this year, while the furloughs will
save about $513,000 next year.
The pay freeze, Mancini noted,
helped avoid the program cuts
this year that are now being con-
sidered for next year.
Like other school districts,
Crestwood is getting hit with a
substantial increase in health in-
surance premiums, up 6 percent,
anda big jumpinpayments to the
teacher pension fund.
The fund is run by a state agen-
cy that sets the districts payment
as a percentage of teacher pay,
and it will rise from 8.65 percent
to 12.36 percent.
McLaughlin-Smith said the
district also expects to pay
$95,000 in unemployment com-
pensation for the furloughed
teachers.
All told, those increases add
about $785,000 to next years
budget.
While the district did not incur
any substantial new debt, pay-
ment on existing debt is sched-
uled to climb next year by about
$213,000 more than this year. To-
tal debt payments in 2012-13 will
be about $2 million.
Cutting teacher staff will mean
slightly larger classes but still
keep most of them under 26 stu-
dents. It helps that the district
has seen a roughly 6 percent drop
in enrollment since 2007-08, ac-
cording to McLaughlin-Smith.
The preliminary budget also
cuts sports for seventhandeighth
grade, and will cut other after-
school activities for kindergarten
through eighth grade.
The School Board has decided
not to raise taxes, even though
state law would allow a 2.2 per-
cent increase without voter ap-
proval. All told, the preliminary
budget just tops $32.9 million,
roughly $400,000 more than this
years budget.
The board can rework the bud-
get as much as it wants before
passing a final budget, which
must be done by June 30, but
Mancini said that, barring some
major changes in the financial sit-
uation, he expects the cuts in the
preliminary budget will become a
reality.

No other player got this kind of wel-
come. Though he was the fourth quarter-
backtotakethehuddleinSaturdaysBlue-

loudest ovation from the crowd when he
trottedonto the fieldat Beaver Stadium.
Call it backup quarterback syndrome if
youwant PennStatefanshaveseenplen-
tyof Matt McGloinandRobBoldenat the
position the past two years, and the new
face is always the most exciting. But no

Jones, whose football career was derailed

he team that was expected to go
home carrying another Stanley
Cup instead goes home early.
The team that was supposed to be
going nowhere is going to the Eastern
Conference semifinals.
All this unpredictability is what
makes the world of sports, especially
hockey at playoff time, so enthralling.
Even if the Pittsburgh Penguins
werent thrilled by it.
They were the Las Vegas odds-on
favorites to win the Cup this year,
mainly because their scoring star Sid-
ney Crosby came back from the con-
cussion symptoms that hampered him
for more than a year and joined a li-
neup packed with scoring punch.
Then the hated Philadelphia Flyers
knocked them out quickly, with a stag-
gering blow and then a finishing flurry.
The combination left feelings so
harsh, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma
began his series-ending press confer-
ence Sunday by first congratulating the
Flyers, then quickly adding, I really
cant wish them luck, though.
The Penguins could have used a
little good fortune during their 4-2
opening-round loss to Philadelphia.
Or at least a little self-certainty.
Instead, everything went haywire on
the Penguins.
Their record-setting penalty kill
during the regular season mysteriously
collapsed in the playoffs, allowing the
Flyers 12 power play goals and a
league-record 50 percent power play
conversion percentage (12-for-24).
Our penalty kill is the thing, By-
lsma said. We did not get the penalty
kill that some of our penalty killers
have been good at all year long. That
was a big factor.
So was losing big leads.
The Penguins began the series in a
3-0 hole by losing two home games in
which they led comfortably.
They played really, really well,
Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik
said. We didnt play very well for three
games. Theres obviously a lot of re-
grets. You cant change the outcome of
the first three games.
But the series itself seemed to under-
go continuous transformations.
What started as a shootout, with
both teams combining for 45 goals over
the first four games, turned into a stin-
gy scrap during the final two games.
Both goalies, Pittsburghs Marc-
Andre Fleury and Philadelphias Ilya
Bryzgalov, got better after being
benched.
We knew Pittsburgh was quite a
dangerous team, Bryzgalov said.
A lot of people picked them, Flyers
coach Peter Laviolette said. We were
underdogs.
The biggest upset came when the
offensive-minded Flyers abruptly turn-
ed into defensive dynamos while block-
ing 40 shots in Sundays 5-1 victory.
A lot of problems, Fleury surmised.
Combined, they knocked the favor-
ites flat.
There arent a lot of words to de-
scribe this group, the expectations and
what we thought with this complement
of players, said Bylsma, who led the
Penguins to the 2009 Stanley Cup.
The expectation was very high for this
group. Getting Sidney back, it maybe
even sets the expectation even higher.
Yet, the Flyers will wind up carrying
Pennsylvanias hopes for a Cup. As the
Penguins can attest, sometimes in
sports, you just dont get what you
expect.

PHILADELPHIA Claude
Giroux can tell in warmups when
goalie Ilya Bryzgalov is going to
play a strong game.
But dont expect the All-Star
forward to spill his secrets.
I cant tell you that, Giroux
said, smiling.
Whatever the indicator is, that
the Philadelphia Flyers goalie
will play his "A game instead of
his oh-no game, can remain clas-
sified for at least one more round
of the Eastern Conference play-
offs. Bryzgalov after a brutal
first five games in which he al-
lowed 20 goals tipped off the
Flyers that he was ready to dom-
inate in Game 6, then went out
and shut down the Pittsburgh
Penguins in the 5-1 clincher on
Sunday.
Bryzgalov has been a source of
frustration and fulfillment in his
first season in net for the Flyers,
and the Pittsburgh series was no
different. He won four games,
and advanced, sure. But he also
posted a 3.89 goals-against aver-
age along the way.
It was just another chapter in a
puzzling campaign. One that fea-
tured oddball quotes and a Win-
ter Classic benching. At times, it
was enough to make Flyers fans
wonder why the organization
gave him $51 million last sum-
mer. His torrid March, though,
coupled with his 30-save bril-
liance in Game 6 made the Rus-
sian worth every last ruble.
For now.
Bryz was unbelievable from
start to finish, Flyers forward
Danny Briere said of Game 6.
That was something special.
The Flyers are counting on
more games like that, and fewer
like Game 4, whenBryzgalov was

LOS ANGELES The Lakers jer-
sey says World Peace on the back.
The player wearing it is still Ron
Artest, and hes in trouble again with
the NBA.
Metta World Peace was pounding
his chest with his right arm in cele-
bration of a dunk over two oppo-
nents Sunday when his left arm sud-
denly flew out, landing a vicious
backward elbow to James Hardens
head and dropping the Oklahoma
City guard to the hardwood.
Within seconds, the roars of the
crowd fell silent as fans watched in
disbelief the latest act of violence by
a player who changed his name last
year to promote peace.
World Peace is likely to be side-
lined when the Lakers open the post-
season this weekend, and possibly
longer. He claims he accidentally
clipped Harden while celebrating a
dunk.

WASHINGTON The complexity of

lies to cover up lies. A ruling was issued
about Clemens former teammate Andy

he got it from.
In between, there were numerous mo-
tions as attorneys for both sides fussed
over which words and facts can be used
andwhichones cant. Finally, as the clock
passed 5 p.m., an impatient U.S. District
Judge Reggie Walton admonished both
sides for making their cases too compli-
cated for a jury to understand.
Keep it simple. ... Boom! Move on,

BUL L E T I N BOARD
Mud Pie Hanover is my choice to win tonights $25,000 Fillies &
Mares Open Pace. The six-year old daughter of Allamerican Native is
coming off a stout coast to coast victory at Chester Downs, against
similar company, in a career best mile of 1:51.4. Shes a sharp mare
right nowand I look for that trend to continue for the teamof trainer
Jason Robinson and driver George Napolitano in that very compet-
itive tenth race feature.

ARLINGTON, Texas
Derek Jeter had four hits to
stretch his hitting streak to 13
games, Alex Rodriguez belted
career home run No. 632 and
the New York Yankees beat the
Texas Rangers 7-4 on Monday
night.
CC Sabathia (2-0) struck out
eight over eight innings for his
11th career win against the
two-time defending American
League champion Rangers,
who won their first five series
this season.
The big left-hander was
pitching with an extra day of
rest after the Yankees sched-
uled series finale at Boston was
rained out Sunday night, a day
after New York overcame a 9-0
deficit for a 15-9 win over the
Red Sox.
Mariano Rivera worked a
perfect ninth for his fourth
save.
New York has won 10 of 13
since being swept in three
games at Tampa Bay to start
the season.
Josh Hamilton homered for
the Rangers.
Derek Holland (2-1), the
25-year-old left-hander who
signed a $28.5 million, five-
year contract extension this
spring, has never beaten the
Yankees. He gave up seven
runs and nine hits with four
walks and one strikeout in six
innings.
Holland is 0-5 with a 9.26
ERA in seven career appear-
ances (six starts) against New
York.
Rodriguez hit a three-run
homer, his third of the season,
in the fifth for a 6-1 lead. The
Rangers hadnt given up more
than five runs in a game before
that, and Jeter added an RBI
double in the sixth.
New York went ahead to stay
when Curtis Granderson
blooped a two-run single into
short right-center with two
outs in the first. Jeter led off
the game with an infield single
and Robinson Cano also had a
single.
Red Sox 6, Twins 5
MINNEAPOLIS Cody
Ross homered twice, tying the
game with a two-run shot in
the seventh inning and giving
Boston the lead with two outs
in the ninth to snap a five-game
losing streak for the Red Sox
and beat the Minnesota Twins
6-5 on Monday night.
Starter-turned-temporary-
reliever Daniel Bard (1-2) re-
corded two critical outs in the
eighth after the Twins put the
leadoff runner on third. Alfredo
Aceves picked up the save, his
third in five tries, and all was
right with the reeling Red Sox
for at least one night. Aceves
gave up a one-out single and a
high drive to the warning track
in left-center to Trevor Plouffe,
but Denard Span bounced back
to the mound to end it.
Blue Jays 4, Royals 1
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Jose
Bautista hit a two-run homer,
Kelly Johnson also went deep
and the Toronto Blue Jays beat
the bumbling Kansas City
Royals to complete a four-game
sweep.
The Blue Jays improved to
6-1 on the road this season,
while Kansas City lost its 11th
straight to finish up a winless
10-game homestand. The Roy-
als became the first team to
lose its first 10 at home since
the Chicago Cubs dropped 12
in a row at Wrigley Field in
1994.
Eric Hosmer scored the
Royals only run with a homer
leading off the second inning.

Jeter gets 4 hits
for Yanks in win
NEWYORK(AP) Madi-
son Bumgarner pitched seven
neat innings, Pablo Sandoval
homered to match a teammark
set by Willie Mays and the San
Francisco Giants beat the New
York Mets 7-2 Monday night for
a doubleheader sweep.
The Giants took the opener
6-1as TimLincecumposted his
first win of the season despite
another uneven performance.
Slightly over 1,000 fans bun-
dled up in the stands when the
opener began on a windy, raw
afternoon better suited for the
Bay Area. The crowd later
picked up, but Citi Field was
nearly empty for the final out. A
rainout Sunday forced the
twinbill.
Sandoval hit a three-run
homer in the first inning to
back Bumgarner. The burly
slugger has a 16-game hitting
streak, tying the San Francisco
record at the start of a season
set by Mays in1960, STATS
LLCsaid.
Cubs 3, Cardinals 2
CHICAGOJoe Mathers
two-run single with two outs in
the ninth inning lifted the Chi-
cago Cubs to a comeback win
over the St. Louis Cardinals.
St. Louis closer Jason Motte
(1-1) had the Cubs down to
their final strike when Mather,
a former Cardinal, grounded a
2-2 slider up the middle, scor-
ing Bryan LaHair and Geovany
Soto.

The Times Leader staff
NEW ORLEANS The New
Orleans Saints denied an anony-
mously sourced ESPN report on
Monday which alleges that gen-
eral manager Mickey Loomis
booth in the Superdome was
wired so he could listen to oppos-
ing coaches radio communica-
tions during games.
ESPN could not determine if
the system was ever used. The
report on Mondays Outside the
Lines said Loomis would have
been able to eavesdrop on oppo-
nents from 2002 to 2004. The re-
port also said the systemwas dis-
abled in 2005, when the Super-
dome was heavily damaged by
Hurricane Katrina.
Saints spokesman Greg Bensel
called the report 1,000 percent
false.
We asked ESPN to provide us
evidence to support their allega-
tions and they refused, Bensel
said. The team and Mickey are
seeking all legal recourse regard-
ing these false allegations.
Loomis explained his use of an
earpiece and described his game-
day setup in the Superdome
booth in an emailed statement.
I have a monitor in front of
me in my booth that provides the
league issued stats for the
game, Loomis stated. I have a
small TV with the network
broadcast and I have an earpiece
to listen to the WWL-AM radio
game broadcast.
To think I am sitting in there
listening and actually ... doing
something with the offensive
and defensive play calls of the op-
posing teams makes this story
and the unnamed sources that
provided the false information
that much more less credible,
Loomis statement continued. It
just didnt happen.

PHOENIXTwoof the sev-
en buildings at Canal Crossing
Business Park, one mile south
of Phoenixs Sky Harbor Inter-
national Airport, are vacant.
One is available with 90 per-
cent financing. Tucked in the
far left corner, behind the com-
panies that produce filter sup-
plies, concrete construction,
and electric solutions, is Fisch-
er Sports Therapy.
This is where Chase Utley
works now. He spends as many
as six hours a day in the gym,
which caters to a number of
professional athletes, to build
strength in his chronically in-
jured knees.
But on Monday, Utley left
early. He wore a dark T-shirt
and shorts with lime-green
sneakers whenhewalkedtohis
rental car shortly before noon.
His escort was Phillies head
athletic trainer Scott Sheridan.
It was time to see his team-
mates.
Im not happy that Im not
playing, Utley, 33, said. But
Im looking at it from a posi-
tive, like I always have. Ive def-
initely gained strength over
the past three weeks.
Those three weeks have pro-
vided optimism for the second
baseman. Utley took batting
practice with the Phillies at
Chase Field before Mondays
game. He fielded some ground
balls for the first time in two
months. He smiled.
There is no pain when he
swings, Utley said. Soreness
persists in the field. But during
spring training, Utley reached
a point where he could not do
any infield work because of the
sting. And hitting was prob-
lematic too.
So there is progress. Utley
missedthe first 46games of the
2011 season and could be oper-
ating on a similar pace in 2012.
He declinedtoaffixa timetable
tohis return, andwill remainin
Phoenix to work at Brett Fisch-
ers complex once the Phillies
leave.
Its hard to tell, Utley said.
So far, on a daily basis, Ive
been feeling good. I havent
hadtoslowthings down. Being
here for a little longer will ben-
efit me. At somepoint, Ill meet
with the team and continue to
do more baseball stuff. Then
well see what happens.
Utley could not compare his
progress to last season, but ad-
mitted that his knees are stron-
ger nowthan they were before.
That appears to be the focus of
his rehabilitation program this
time.
Last year, I went with the
mind-set of getting everything
loose and not trying to make
my legs tight, Utley said.
Right now, were trying to
gain strength and continue to
keep my legs loose.
Utley tries to
stay positive

Picking the favorite for the
Kentucky Derby may be as
tough as picking the winner.
Without a breakthrough star
heading into the May 5 Derby,
theres a stable full of 3-year-
olds worthy of the leading role
as horse to beat when a full
field of 20 spring from the
starting gate at Churchill
Downs.
Lets begin with Union Rags,
who opened on top and now
finishes No. 1 on the APs final
Run to the Roses Top 10 list of
Derby contenders. Other po-
tential Derby favorites are Bo-
demeister, Creative Cause,
Dullahan, Gemologist and Ill
Have Another.
Union Rags comes into the
1
1
4-mile Derby off a third-place
finish in the Florida Derby af-
ter winning the Fountain of
Youth. Not the most stellar
credentials, but by finishing
with a flourish in his last race
after a tough trip trainer Mi-
chael Matz is hoping Union
Rags will be at his best on Der-
by day.
The colt worked four fur-
longs in 47.40 seconds at Kee-
neland last week. Matz called
the work nothing spectacu-
lar, but we will ask more of
him in his next work, some-
time next week at Churchill
Downs.
If he has an exceptional
work next week, he could wind
up the favorite, says longtime
Churchill Downs oddsmaker
Mike Battaglia, who will set
the betting line a week from
Wednesday. But in two losses,
they made excuses for him. If
hes as good as everybody says
he would have been able to
overcome that bad trip (in the
Florida Derby).
With that, Battaglia is lean-
ing toward Bodemeister based
on the colts eye-catching,
9
1
2-length victory in the Arkan-
sas Derby in just his fourth ca-
reer start. Bodemeister is No.
3 this week.
He ran a huge race in Arkan-
sas, but the question is can he
come back in three weeks and
duplicate that? says Battaglia.
Gemologist, No. 2 on our
list, is unbeaten in all five of
his starts, including a victory
in the Wood Memorial. Dulla-
han, No. 5, came rumbling
down the stretch and overtook
Hansen in winning the Blue
Grass, and the California-
based duo of Ill Have Another
and Creative Cause ran 1-2 in
the Santa Anita Derby.
They all have questions,
says Battaglia, which is why
its so wide open.
In Derby-related news over
the weekend:
Trainer Bob Bafferts Re-
bel winner and Arkansas Der-
by runner-up Secret Circle was
sidelined by a sesamoid injury.
Baffert also trains Bodemeis-
ter, and says hes considering
entering Liaison.
Owner Shivananda Parb-
hoo says he plans to enter
Trinniberg, won the Swale and
Bay Shore in his last two starts
but has never run farther than
seven furlongs.
Borderland Derby winner
Isnt He Clever is now being
trained by Steve Asmussen
and is under Derby consider-
ation. Asmussen has two other
hopefuls in Daddy Nose Best
and Sabercat.

AP Sports Writer
Matt Rust has playedinplenty of big games
during his years with the U.S. National team
and the University of Michigan.
Hes played in world championships and
NCAA tournaments, but they were nothing
like the experience of playing in his first AHL
playoff game on Saturday.
I was expecting a faster pace and to be
honest, the first couple of shifts I felt like I was
in a movie in fast forward, Rust said. That
was the fastest game I ever played in.
And it suited Rusts style well. Centering a
line with Jason Williams and Colin McDo-
nald, Rust scored his first pro playoff goal in
the Penguins 7-2winover HersheyinGame 2.
The line combinedfor three goals andfour as-
sists, and Rust gave most of the credit to his
veteran wingers.
Its special when you get a chance to play
in between Williams and Mac, Rust said.
They make me 10 times better and they
made the game easy.
Rust started Game 2 in place of Brian Gib-
bons, and head coach John Hynes was happy
with how his rookie center responded.
Wefelt hewas goingtobeanimpact player
for us in the playoffs, Hynes said. These are
the things you need in the playoffs. You need
guys in different roles who can step up.
Rusts goal was a big step toward showing
Hynes he can elevate his game, but he wasnt
too overconfident.
I dont score a whole lot of goals and it was
pretty special to me, Rust said. It means a
lot when you can get into the lineup and do
something positive. But you cant feel too
good for yourself. Its just one game.
Streets First
After missing time in last years playoffs
due to injury, Ben Street the Penguins lead-
ing scorer in the regular season, notched the
first playoff goal of his career on Saturday.
But it wasnt an ordinary goal. Street con-
nected during a shorthanded penalty shot at-
tempt the second time this year he has con-
verted on such an opportunity.
Its mainly from Lerg making those pas-
ses, Street said. It is weird though. Both
times I felt I got pretty good shots off. Any-
time they want to give me a penalty shot, Ill
take it.
The goal also helped Street put last sea-
sons playoff experience when he was limit-
ed to eight games due to injury, behind him.
Ive been thinking about that for a while
now, Street said. What I did in the regular
season (2011-2012) kind of got me in the con-
versation for getting an NHL deal. Hopefully
Im a guy theyre watching and now is a time
when you really need to step up your game.
Theres a lot of motivation for me.
New Arrivals
With Pittsburgh eliminated from the post-
season, Hynes said Eric Tangradi, Simon
Despres and Brian Strait will be coming back
to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. When or how
much theyll play right away has yet to be de-
termined, he said. Physically, mentally
make sure theyre OK to play, Hynes said.
Well let them come in, get de-briefed and
then make some decisions.
New Faces
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton signed F Dominik
Uher and D Reid McNeill to amateur try-out
agreements on Monday.
Uher is a fifth-round draft pick (No. 144
overall) by Pittsburgh in the 2011 NHL Entry
Draft. He has registered 58 goals, 86 assists
and 165 penalty minutes in 181 contests with
Spokane.

The second annual Celebrity
Basketball Game will be return-
ing to Nanticoke on Saturday at
the Greater Nanticoke Area High
School gym.
The event, which is sponsored
by the Clifton R. Lewis Good Life
Foundation, will be split up into
multiple events beginning at 1
p.m. The first event is the intras-
quad game between two Nanti-
coke teams, followed by a three-
point shootout. Afterwards a
slam dunk contest will take
place, followed by a performance
by singer/songwriter Josh Seib-
ert andBreakingBenjamindrum-
mer Chad Szeliga, and finally the
celebrity game.
Celebrities participating in the
event include Pittsburgh Steelers
players Steve McLendon and
Darnell Stapleton, and two-time
NASCAR Truck Series Cham-
pion Todd Bodine. These partici-
pants will take on local athletes
and citizens from Luzerne Coun-
ty.
The slam dunk competition
will include Sprite Slam Dunk
All-Star Carlos Smothers, Har-
lem Globetrotters Roscoe John-
son and The Worlds Best Dunk-
er Kenny Dobbs.
Clifton R. Lewis, founder and
president of the Good Life Foun-
dation, said he and his co-work-
ers have been working hard to ac-
quire these celebrity participa-
nts.
Weve been working day and
night trying to get these celebri-
ties for six months, said Lewis.
We got them through the social
media such as Twitter and Face-
book and also through word of
mouth. I have a friend who golfs
with Darnell Stapleton so that
was a big help.
At last years Celebrity Basket-
ball event Lewis said over 800
people attended, but he hopes to
improve not only this year but in
the future, and he hopes to get
different talent.
We want to try and get people
every year and keep adding year
by year, Lewis said.
The Celebrity Basketball game
is looking to be an annual event
inNanticoke, but it is not theonly
event sponsored by the Clifton R.
Lewis Foundation, as Lewis said
they will be having dancing
events going on in Minnesota
and Arizona later this year.
Lewis is a native of Nanticoke
and started the foundation in
2010 to help those diagnosed
with Muscular Dystrophy, which
he himself was diagnosed with in
2006. The Good Life Foundation
helps families affected by MD by
providing them with the help
they need to afford mobilization
suchas wheelchairs andscooters.
They have helped over 17 fam-
ilies in 14 states.

OTTAWA Brad Richards scored
the go-ahead goal and Derek Stepan had
a goal and two assists as the top-seeded
NewYorkRangers stavedoff elimination
with a 3-2 victory against Ottawa Sen-
ators on Monday night.
The series heads back to New York
Thursday night for the first Game 7 in
any sport at Madison Square Garden in
17 years.
Not even the return of Daniel Alfreds-
son, whomissedthree games witha con-
cussion, in front of the fired-up home
crowd at Scotiabank Place could help
the eighth-seeded Senators complete
the upset.
Carl Hagelin returned to the Rangers
lineup after sitting out a three-game sus-
pension for his elbow on Alfredsson
The Rangers broke through in the sec-
ond with three goals after going six
straight periods without scoring.
Chris Neil gave Ottawa a 1-0 lead in
the first with a power-play goal and Ja-
son Spezza cut it to 3-2 with 39 seconds
left to play in the third.
Neil was planted at the edge of Henrik
Lundqvists crease along with teammate
Zack Smith when Ottawas power play
put it ahead1-0 at 7:05. Sergei Gonchars
point shot deflected in off Neils skate as
he tried to jump out of the way.
That got the frenzied towel-waving
crowd into a lather that only increased
when Neil answered Brandon Prusts
challenge for a fight eight minutes later.
The momentum seemed to be com-
pletely in Ottawas favor when the first
intermission hit, especially with goalie
Craig Anderson locked into a lengthy
shutout streak and looking sharp once
again.
But the Senators lost their focus inthe
second period and referees Steve Kozari
andTimPeel gave the Rangers four pow-
er plays.
Stepan tied the game 1-1 during the
first one at 8:55, taking two whacks at a
sweet pass fromRichards to beat Ander-
son. That ended the Rangers scoring
drought at 145 minutes, 27 seconds.
A call that Ottawa fans will question
helped put New York ahead for good.
NewYork received a lengthy 5-on-3 af-
ter Nick Foligno was sent off for goalten-
der interference replays showed two
Rangers players guidinghimintoLundq-
vist and Richards took advantage of
the extra space by skating off the wall
and beating Anderson high at 17:08.
That was soon followed by a back-
breaking goal from Kreider, the first of
his NHL career. He sneaked a shot
through Anderson with 40.3 seconds to
play in the period to make it 3-1.
Ottawa successfully staged a number
of dramatic comebacks during the regu-
lar season they also erased a two-goal
deficit while winningGame 4andhad
plenty of opportunities to mount anoth-
er one here. But Lundqvist held the Sen-
ators at bay on two power plays, denying
Kyle Turris point blank and having a
Chris Phillips shot ring off the post.

the Ottawa Senators with teammates Ryan Callahan (24), Derek Stepan (21)
and Marian Gaborik (10) during the second period of Game 6 of a first-round
Stanley Cup playoff series in Ottawa, Ontario, on Monday.
fense statement was put off until
today.
Onthe fifthdayof the trial, the
court finally seated12 jurors and
four alternates. The 10 women
and six men mostly said they
didnt follow baseball or know
much about Clemens. In fact,
seven said theyd never heard of
him.
Their first taskwas totrytodi-
gest prosecutor Steven Dur-
hams description of Clemens
10-year relationship with
strength trainer Brian McNa-
mee, which Durham said be-
came a story of deceit and dis-
honesty and betrayal because
Clemens wouldnt acknowledge
using steroids and human
growth hormone.
The end will show that he
made his choice, Durham said,
and he was going to lie.
Clemens is accusedof lying
when he said he never used ste-
roids or HGH during his 24-sea-
son career at a 2008 congres-
sional hearing and at a deposi-
tion that preceded it. Last years
mistrial was called after the gov-
ernment showed the jury a por-
tion of videotaped evidence that
had been ruled inadmissible.
The costly process of bringing
the case back to court has drawn
criticism from those who regard
it as a waste of government mon-
ey a point raised last week by
some prospective jurors.
The case largely will hinge on
the believability of two contra-
dictory witnesses Clemens
and McNamee. McNamee says
he injected Clemens with ste-
roids and human growth hor-
mone; Clemens said he never
used either.
The governments case suf-
fered a blow when Walton made
the ruling about Pettitte.
Pettitte is expected to say that
he used HGH and that he had
conversations with Clemens
about HGH, but the judge ruled
that Pettitte cant identifyMcNa-
mee as a supplier because the ju-
ry might try to connect the dots
and conclude that McNamee
must have also supplied Clem-
ens a case of classic guilt by
association, one of Clemens
lawyers said.
Wearing a pinstriped suit,
white shirt and silver-striped tie,
Clemens took notes throughout
the day. His wife, Debbie, made
her first appearance at the trial,
sittingamongthe spectators and
getting a hug from her husband
during another delay the
court waited 50 minutes for a
late potential juror to showup.
Debbie Clemens remained in
thecourtroomfor theconclusion
of juryselection, but thejudgeor-
dered her along with any oth-
er potential witnessestoleave
duringopeningstatements. Rog-
er Clemens lawyer objected,
saying earlier word from the
judge would have saved her a lot
of time and travel, but Debbie
Clemens was alsoexcludedfrom
opening statements at last years
first trial, becauseshewas tobea
witness later for her husband.
CLEMENS
Continued fromPage 1B
ded, by going 33-16-7 with six
shutouts this season after com-
ing over fromPhoenix. He had a
sensational March with three
straight shutouts and he set a
Flyers record with a shutout
streak of 249 minutes, 43 sec-
onds.
Thats the good Bryz.
The bad Bryz?
Bad might be too strong a
word. But he was certainly mys-
tifying in net at times even
against Pittsburgh and has
mentioned various times this
season of being lost in the
woods, and being scared only
of bears in the forest. He com-
plained in December about the
pressure of playing in hockey-
mad Philadelphia and said he
wished he made only $450,000,
so no one would notice him.
His dry wit made him an
early-season hit on HBOs
24/7 and with the media be-
fore the Flyers suggested he
tone down his remarks. A more
sanitized Bryzgalov emerged
and he grew annoyed after the
Game 6 win with questions
about his performance.
No personal pride, he said.
It is a team effort. It is the
whole organization.
Bryz was right on target with
that assessment.
Girouxearnedthebest inthe
world moniker from Flyers
coach Peter Laviolette, after
posting six goals and eight as-
sists in the series. Erik Gustafs-
son was still in the minors and
watched Game 1 on TV when
the series started, then scored a
Game 6 goal when pressed into
service. Briere scored five goals
and Jaromir Jagr tormented his
former franchise with six as-
sists. Sean Couturier had a hat
trick in Game 2. The Flyers
blocked 40 shots in Game 6.
The Flyers resolve and fight
was on display for every game
but one. Of course, all of those
working parts were needed to
knock off a team as talented as
the Penguins.
But to keep doing it? Well, the
key ingredient needs to be a fo-
cused, fantastic Bryzgalov.
When the team sees him
make the saves like that, Jagr
said, its confidence coming
out, because he knows were go-
ing to play the same way.
Laviolette gave the Flyers a
day off on Monday. The team
will practice the rest of the week
and may not know who theyll
face in the Eastern Conference
semifinals until late Thursday.
The break gives their banged-up
bodies time to heal, thoughthey
might lose some momentum.
The Flyers publicly insisted
they have no rooting interest in
the rest of the playoffs. Hard to
believe theyre not pulling for
Ottawa, though, to knock off
NewYork and eliminate a Rang-
ers team that went undefeated
this season against the Flyers.
The Rangers went 6-0 against
Philadelphia for the first time in
40 years, in fact.
If Boston, NewYork and Flor-
ida all lose their first-round se-
ries, the No. 5 Flyers could hold
home ice until at least the Stan-
ley Cup finals. Were going to
live and die by Bryz, Flyers for-
ward Scott Hartnell said. If he
plays anything like he did (in
Game 6) throughout this next
round, were going to keep mov-
ing on.

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees series finale against
the Norfolk on Monday was
postponed because Batavia,
New York, the site for the Yan-
kees home game, was getting
hit with a powerful snow-
storm.
The game will be made up as
part of a doubleheader when
the Yankees visit Harbor Park
in Norfolk, Virginia from June
14. The start time and date of
the contests have not yet been
announced. On Sunday, the
teams were slated to play a
twinbill after losing Saturdays
game to weather.
The Yankees will open up a
two-game series at McCoy Sta-
dium against the Pawtucket
Red Sox tonight at 6:15 before
traveling to Lehigh Valley for
four home games against the
IronPigs.
Right-hander D.J. Mitchell
(2-0, 2.12) makes the start for
the Yankees tonight against
the PawSox and their righty
Aaron Cook (2-0, 1.35). The
two-game set wraps up on
Wednesday with an afternoon
tilt at 12:05. The Yankees enter
the series with an 8-8 record,
while Pawtucket is 12-5.

snowed out

enoughto do the work.
It was last June that Jones
problems in the classroom came
to a head and he was told that he
wouldnot be able to play.
He sat down with academic ad-
visor Todd Kulka, then-quarter-
backs coach Jay Paterno and his
mother, Jen, and was given two
options.
As Jones recalls, they told him,
You can either go to a junior col-
lege well help you look for a ju-
nior collegeor youcanstayhere
and work your way out of it. But
were not gonna let youfail.
There was probably more to
the conversation, Jones said.
But at that time, I was outside of
mybodythinking, I cantbelieveI
let myself get intothissituation.
At that time, he still had four
years of eligibility remaining. Ju-
nior college was likely the easier
route move down and find a
school thrilledtohaveatoptalent
for a year, starting immediately
while getting settled in the class-
room.
Improve from there and he
could go through the recruiting
process again, picking a newFBS
school with three years still left.
Its a path that Heisman winner
Cam Newton followed, going
fromFlorida to a junior college to
Auburnandthenthe No. 1overall
pick inthe draft.
Jones, of course, is not Newton.
But that option, he admitted, was
enticing.
Ultimately, he did not want to
leave the people who had helped
him through a tough first 18
months oncampus.
I love every single one of my
teammateshere, Jonessaid. Itd
be hard to find another bond like
that. So I decided to stay. I
wouldnt change my mind.
Evenso, it was adifficult fall for
Jones, who just missed his target
grades and wasnt able to travel
with the team to Dallas for the
TicketCity Bowl in the new se-
mester.
The spring has gone much bet-
ter for the Pittsburgh native. De-
spite having more time occupied
by football and new coach Bill
OBriens complex offense, Jones
said he has a B-average this se-
mesterandwill absolutelybeel-
igible for the fall.
Blessed with a mortar for a
right arm, Jones showed off his
easeinfiringtheball 60-plusyards
through the air in Saturdays
scrimmage. General accuracy
and touch on those deep balls re-
main an issue, as Jones finished
the day 6-for-15 for 113 yards, a
touchdownandaninterception.
Paul Jones has gotten better
every single day, OBrien said.
Paul JonesandI haveauniquere-
lationship because we both have
unique senses of humor. Hes
been a fun guy to coach, and Ill
keep between he and I what he
needstodotowinthestartingjob,
but he made a lot of strides this
spring.
Hes doing better in school,
and Ive really enjoyed being
aroundPaul Jones.
Im a shy guy until you get to
know me, Jones said through a
wide grin. And then I dont shut
up.
He developed a quick rapport
with his new coach and was able
to put his problems behindhim.
But he hasnt forgottenthat aw-
ful feelingfromlast fall. It crept to
thesurfaceonelast timeonSatur-
day.
Coming off the bus, all the
emotions hit me, Jones said. I
was actually holding shoulder
pads and a helmet this time in-
stead of just walking around with
myheaddownandfeelingbadfor
myself.
After reaching the stadium,
Jones went through his normal
routine of meeting with his fam-
ily. It wasnt until he was with his
mother that it finally dawned on
himthat he would finally be play-
ing.
I was about tostart crying, he
said. Imholdingbacktears right
nowthinkingabout it. Just happy
to be able to play again.

NEWARK, N.J. The Phila-
delphia 76ers nailed down the
final playoff berth in the Eastern
Conference and spoiled the
Nets final game in New Jersey
with a 105-87 victory Monday
night.
Thaddeus Young scored all 15
of his points in the second half
to help the 76ers make the post-
season for the second straight
year and eliminate the Mil-
waukee Bucks from playoff
contention.
The win moved Philadelphia
(34-30) into a tie with the New
York Knicks for the No. 7 seed
with two games remaining in
the regular season.
Jrue Holiday and Elton Brand
added 15 points apiece and
Andre Iguodala had 14 points
and nine assists for Philadel-
phia.
MarShon Brooks had 18
points to lead the Nets, who will
move into a new arena in Brook-
lyn next season.
Wizards 101, Bobcats 73
WASHINGTON John Wall
had 16 points and 14 assists,
Nene scored 18 points and Jan
Vesely had 16 points on 8-for-8
shooting and the Washington
Wizards handed the Charlotte
Bobcats their 21st straight loss.
It gave the Wizards their first
four-game winning streak since
Dec. 9-13, 2007. The 28-point
margin of victory equaled their
largest in the season.
Pacers 103, Pistons 97
INDIANAPOLIS Paul
George scored 12 of his 27
points in the fourth quarter to
help the Indiana Pacers beat the
Detroit Pistons.
George made 13 of 15 free
throws and grabbed 10 rebounds
for the Pacers. David West
scored 20 points and Leandro
Barbosa and Tyler Hansbrough
added 13 points each for Indi-
ana.
Pacers coach Frank Vogel
rested regular starters Danny
Granger, Roy Hibbert and Ge-
orge Hill since Indiana is locked
into the No. 3 seed in the East-
ern Conference playoffs.
Grizzlies 109, Cavaliers 101
MEMPHIS, Tenn. Mar-
reese Speights had 17 points and
10 rebounds, Marc Gasol also
scored 17 points, and the Mem-
phis Grizzlies beat the Cleve-
land Cavaliers for their fifth
straight win.
Bucks 92, Raptors 86
MILWAUKEE The Mil-
waukee Bucks are out of the
NBA playoffs, despite getting 25
points from Brandon Jennings
in a 92-86 victory over Toronto
Raptors on Monday night.
Milwaukees postseason fate
was determined earlier Monday
night when the Philadelphia
76ers beat the New Jersey Nets
105-87 to clinch the eighth play-
off berth in the Eastern Confer-
ence and eliminate the Bucks.

Erin Belles is the type of
player that coaches like to have
around.
Belles (Dallas) is the typical
team player. She starts, she
pinch hits, she sits on the bench.
She also hits with power and is
a solid defensive player for Cor-
nell.
Belles hit .318 as a sophomore
and tied for the team lead in
home runs with six. This sea-
son, shes hitting just .242 but
she still has hit four home runs
and has 12 RBI, many in key
situations.
Although Erin has not been
able to establish herself as a
full-time starter she has proven
to be very effective off the bench
as a pinch-hitter, coach Dick
Blood said. She is a tireless
worker and she has tremendous
power to all fields.
Belles is listed as a catcher
and outfielder but can play just
about any position on the team.
I think that I have become a
more versatile player since I
came to Cornell, she said. My
teammates are very focused and
competitive so we are always
pushing each other to play to
the best of our abilities. In prac-
tice, infielders or outfielders
sometimes are asked to catch
for our pitcher or a player might
be moved to a position she isnt
accustomed to, but we are still
expected to execute plays.
Belles takes pride in her hit-
ting.
Im always trying to improve
my batting mechanics in order
to become a more consistent
hitter, she said.
The Big Red are tied for first
in the Ivy League with Penn
despite losing three of four to
the Quakers last weekend. They
will take a 20-20 record (11-5 in
league play) into a big four-
game series Saturday and Sun-
day against Princeton in Prince-
ton, N.J.
We are fine-tuning our de-
fense and our offense, Belles
said. Our ultimate goal would
be to compete for the Ivy
League Championships but our
division is very competitive.
ELLS CHIPPING IN Sopho-
more Zach Ell (Holy Redeemer)
has played in 24 games and
started 22 for the Penn State
baseball team.
Ell, a 6-foot, 185-pound out-
fielder, is hitting .225 (16-for-71)
with two doubles, eight RBI and
11 runs scored. In the field, hes
handled 37 chances without an
error.
Zachs done a good job with
situations, coach Bobby Wine
said. When there is a hit-and-
run called, he executes it. He
likes doing that, hes a guy suit-
ed for that. And, when the sit-
uation comes up where you
want to bunt the guy to second,
he delivers.
The Nittany Lions are 18-21
overall and 6-6 in the Big Ten
after a 4-2 loss to Iowa Sunday.
BULLS CLOSING IN Get-
tysburg sophomore Alex Bull
(Berwick) posted an easy 45
second victory in the 3,000
meter steeplechase at last Sat-
urdays Mason-Dixon in Gettys-
burg. Her time of 12:00.34 is the
second fastest time in the event
in school history.
Stephanie Shull set the mark
in 2004 (11:33.63) and Bull has
the rest of this season and the
next two seasons to make it to
the top spot. Ironically, its a
new sport for the distance run-
ner.
Alex has added the steeple-
chase to her racing repertoire,
coach Aubrey Shenk said. She
is a significant contributor to
our program and shes a com-
mitted and dedicated distance
runner.
Bull competed in the mile as a
freshman and has the seventh
best time in school history
(6:09.81).
The Bullets will compete in
the Shippensburg Invitational
this weekend as a prep for the
Centennial Conference Cham-
pionships May 4-6 in College-
ville.
WENNERS A BIG HIT
Sophomore Shannon Wenner
(MMI Prep) is leading the Ce-
dar Crest softball team in hit-
ting (.453), doubles (nine),
triples (three) and home runs
(three). She also leads in RBI
with 25 and is tied for second
with 21 runs scored. She bats
third in the lineup.
In a recent 24-17 victory over
Gwynedd-Mercy, the tri-captain
had a double, two singles, three
runs scored and five RBI.
At first base, Wenner has
made just three errors on 213
chances (.986).
The Falcons are 14-14 overall
and 7-7 in the Colonial States
Athletic Conference.
GRANTEED AT HER BEST
East Stroudsburg junior Julie
Granteed (Berwick) recently
finished second in the 400 me-
ter hurdles at the Bloomsburg
Invitational with a personal best
time of 1:06.81.
That was a 1.5 second im-
provement over her previous
best, coach Chris Merli said.
After struggling to overcome
some physical issues her sopho-
more year, Julie has been able to
train consistently. That was a
breakthrough race, mentally, for
her.
Granteed also finished second
in the 400 hurdles at Muhlen-
berg (1:08.85) and fourth in the
event at the All-American Meet
in East Stroudsburg last week-
end with a time of 1:10.09.
We are hoping that building
on her consistent training she
will score in the PSAC meet
(May 3-5 at Bloomsburg),
Merli said.
GORMAN, BAYZICK PITCH-
ING IN Corey Gorman and
Josh Bayzick are members of
the Scranton baseball teams
pitching staff.
Gorman (Coughlin, a senior
but a junior eligibility-wise, has
started seven games and is 3-4
with a 4.54 earned run average.
The left-hander has worked 37.2
innings and given up 48 hits and
26 runs, 19 earned. He has walk-
ed 19 and struck out 45.
Gormans best two games
were against Arcadia (six in-
nings with two hits, no runs,
four walks and 11 strikeouts in
an 11-0 victory) and Susquehan-
na (seven innings with six hits,
two runs, three walks and six
strikeouts in a 7-2 victory). He
pitched 4
1
3 innings and gave up
seven hits and two runs in a 3-1
loss to Drew last weekend.
Corry has improved because
he is throwing more strikes and
he has had command of all three
of his pitches, coach Mike
Bartoletti said. His work ethic
has gotten better and he is ma-
turing realizing his ability.
Freshman Bayzick (Hazleton
Area) has pitched in six games
in relief and is 1-0 with a 3.95
earned run average. Hes worked
13
2
3 innings and given up 19
hits and six runs, all earned,
with five walks and six strike-
outs. He picked up his victory
against Dubuque, going 3
2
3
innings and allowing three hits
and no runs in a 6-4 triumph.
I have to admit that Josh has
been a pleasant surprise, Barto-
letti said. He throws strikes,
attacks hitters, pounds the zone
with three different pitches. He
has a big upside and if he keeps
working, hell be a real sleeper.
PURCELLS A FORCE
Freshman Brittany Purcell (Ha-
zleton) is batting third and
playing left field for the Roch-
ester Tech softball team.
Purcell is hitting .273 (21-
for-77) with three doubles, two
triples, 10 RBI and 15 runs
scored. In the field, shes han-
dled 61 chances and made five
errors (.918).
After a slow start to her col-
lege career, Purcell is really
starting to hit the ball. In a
recent 11-10 victory over Keuka,
she had four hits, including a
double and triple, with four runs
scored and two RBI.
Brittany has really exploded
for us in the past two weeks,
coach Rebecca Stryker said.
She has completely stepped up
to the college level of play that
we needed her for at this time. I
have no doubt that she will
continue to come through in the
clutch and score runs for us.
The Tigers are 11-23 overall
and 3-7 in the Liberty League.
DOUBLE DUTY FOR KRIN-
GER Senior captain Brittany
Kringer plays first base and
pitches for the PSU-Harrisburg
softball team.
Kringer (Hazleton) is hitting
.308 (33-for-107) with a double,
17 RBI and 13 runs scored. Shes
three-for-three in stolen bases.
In the field, shes made three
errors on 167 chances (.982). On
the mound, shes 5-6 with a 5.42
earned run average. In 84.2
innings, shes given up 104 hits
and 80 runs, 51 earned. Shes
walked 39 and struck out 47.
Britt is an incredible young
lady, coach Tonya Dengler said.
She is balancing a very full
plate this semester on and off
the field. She is working as a
student intern at the Whitaker
Center in Harrisburg, taking a
class at the campus and playing
softball. Somehow she finds the
time and the energy to do every-
thing.
Because of her schedule, most
of her pitching workouts have
been on her own time because
her schedule causes her to miss
practice.
Other players in Britts sit-
uation would have chosen not to
play but she works extra hard,
Dengler said. She is a team
captain and has done a fantastic
job leading her teammates on
and off the field.
The coach feels that Kringers
pitching has improved this sea-
son.
She worked incredibly hard
to get her change-up more con-
sistent and her hard work has
paid off, Dengler said. She has
been hitting in the power part of
the lineup and she is the one I
want in the box with runners in
scoring position.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. Ea-
ger to move on from the Bobby
Petrino scandal, Arkansas an-
nounced Monday that popular
former assistant John L. Smith
will return as head coach of the
Razorbacks next season.
Smith, who left the Razor-
backs after last season to be-
come the head coach at Weber
State, will be formally intro-
duced today. The school re-
leased no other details, but a
person familiar with the deci-
sion said Smith is returning on
a one-year appointment. The
person spoke to The Associated
Press on condition of anonym-
ity because the school has not
made details of its decision pub-
lic.
Smith was also a head coach
at Michigan State and Louis-
ville, where he was replaced by
Petrino after the 2002 season.
He served as the special teams
and outside linebackers coach
at Arkansas for the 2009-10 sea-
sons under Petrino; the two
have worked together at four
different schools in all.
Word of
Smiths hire
spread quickly
and some of
the players re-
sponded with
their approval
on Twitter.
The hap-
piest day of my life, Razor-
backs running back Knile Davis
tweeted. Hearing that John L.
Smith is coming back to (Fayet-
teville) to (be) our head coach.
Smiths easygoing demeanor
will be a big change from Petri-
no, who was fired April 10 by
athletic director Jeff Long for
failing to disclose his affair and
$20,000 in gifts to a woman he
later hired as his assistant. The
relationship was revealed by an
April 1 motorcycle crash on a
rural road southwest of Fayette-
ville and the woman, Jessica
Dorrell, has resigned.
Petrinos firing put Long in
the difficult position of finding a
head coach while spring prac-
tice and recruiting was going on
across the country. The person
who spoke with the AP said
Smiths one-year deal provides a
perfect solution.
He will enable Jeff to look
for a coach, the person said.
He will be respected by the
coaches and keep the coaching
staff intact. Jeff found that it
was really hard to get a coach
that he wanted right now. No-
body would really take a look at
it. There were some who said
they might be interested but
not at this time because the
new season is just around the
corner.
The 63-year-old Smith leaves
Weber State without ever
coaching a game for the FCS
school, his alma mater.
Smith has a 132-86 record as a
head coach with the Spartans,
Cardinals as well as at Idaho
and Utah State. He was the Big
Ten Coach of the Year in 2003
after posting the most wins by a
first-year coach in Michigan
State history, finishing 8-4. He
was 22-26 overall with the Spar-
tans and was 41-21 in five sea-
sons at Louisville, including
five straight bowl appearances.
He will provide a familiar face
for the Razorbacks after three
weeks of turmoil.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. Da-
naHolgorsenis familiar withBig
12 country, having spent time
under Mike Gundy at Oklahoma
State and Mike Leach at Texas
Tech.
As West Virginias second-year
coach, Holgorsen nowgets to in-
troduce the conference to the
Mountaineers, who along with
TCUwill be makingtheir debuts
this fall.
In many ways, no introduc-
tions will be necessary. Big 12
coaches have crossed paths with
Holgorsen and the Mountain-
eers before.
Withseveral reunions instore,
Holgorsen said Monday during
the Big 12 coaches spring con-
ference call that theres a buzz
among players and fans about
the upcoming season.
Theres a whole bunch more
than there was a year ago, Hol-
gorsen said. Our players have
been in big games in the past.
They understand what theyre
gettingintowithout us havingto
beat them over the head with it.
I think everybody under-
stands what it is, how big of a
challenge its going to be and
what weve got to do to prepare
ourselves tobeabletocompete."
West Virginia officially joins
the Big12 in July. Athree-month
legal dispute ended in February
with the Big East over the
schools departure.
When asked about the recruit-
ing process and trying to get a
new message across about the
Big 12 to players in the North-
east and in Pennsylvania, Hol-
gorsen said its different than
pitching the idea of playing in
the Big East.
The one thing about the Big
12 which everybody under-
stands is, its a little bit more of a
national scope, Holgorsen said.
Being in the Southwest and
having the TV coverage, having
the big-time BCS games that ev-
erybodys been to and playing
for national championships
which Texas and Oklahoma
have done, its a national scale. It
goes from the West Coast to the
East Coast.

MetLife to settle case
MetLife Inc. has agreed to pay nearly
$500 million in a 20-state settlement
over allegations it didnt pay life insur-
ance benefits to some of its policy-
holders. The agreement has been
signed by California, Florida, Illinois,
New Hampshire, North Dakota and
Pennsylvania, and will become effec-
tive with the signature of 14 additional
states.
The largest life insurer in the United
States said Monday that it expects to
pay about $188 million of the approxi-
mate $478 million this year, and the
remainder over the next 17 years.
MetLife says in a statement it has
been working with regulators to ensure
all of its policyholders are paid.
American argues case
American Airlines argued before a
federal bankruptcy judge Monday that
its union contracts need to be changed
to make the company financially stable.
The airline lost more than $10 billion
in the decade leading up to its declara-
tion of bankruptcy in November. Dur-
ing that same period most of its major
rivals used the bankruptcy process to
cut wages and benefits, which Amer-
ican says has left it saddled with higher
labor costs.
American wants to eliminate 13,000
union jobs about one in every four
union workers freeze or terminate
pension plans, curb health benefits,
reduce time off, and impose many
other cuts.
Zippo nears 500 millionth
A Pennsylvania company that makes
metal-cased cigarette lighters with lids
known for their distinctive click, is
on schedule to produce its 500 mil-
lionth lighter this year.
And by ramping up production,
Zippo is projecting it can make that
happen on June 5 the birthday of
the late George Blaisdell, the man who
founded the company in Bradford,
McKean County, in 1932.
To celebrate the milestone, Zippo
will produce roughly 60,000 replica
lighters that day, each with a commem-
orative stamp. About 50,000 replicas of
the 500 millionth lighter produced that
day will come with the companys well
known brushed chrome finish. Another
10,000 will be made with high-polished
Armor cases with gold engraving.
The chrome replicas will sell for $50
and the gold-engraved for $100 through
the companys catalog.

COMPUTERS HAVE
a very long memory;
everythings fair game,
it seems, no matter
howlong ago it hap-
pened.
For better or worse,
Internet memory and embarrassment
-- isnt limited to things that happened
in the digital era. Conversion of old
tapes and photos into modern formats
has never been easier or cheaper.
In most cases its just the push of a
button away so whether it be 1972 or
2012, all of the dumb things you did
back then can still come back to haunt
you no matter howmuch youd like
to forget.
Even the most famous of stars have
things theyd rather forget: Leonard
Nimoys horrific Bilbo Baggins music
video, for example.
But for those of you who have memo-
ries that you dont want to forget, time
is running out.
Many of you probably have treasured
family memories on VHS or, if you were
a bit more progressive or a little less
lucky, BetaMax tapes.
You might have audio cassettes or
even 8-tracks that still work.
Well, if theyre more than10 years
old, theyre already on borrowed time.
Magnetic media i.e. anything that you
call a tape is subject to decay, no
matter howcarefully its stored.
Even media that uses physical stor-
age whether its an optical CD, DVD
or BluRay -- is subject to degradation
through scratches, or exposure to heat
or humidity.
Digital files dont have the same
vulnerabilities. While theyre prone to
accidental deletion, or getting lost
because of poor organization, they
wont become degraded by the envi-
ronment (the same cannot be said for
the hard drives or machines theyre
stored on), and duplicating themor
sharing themis far simpler.
So howdo you go about converting
your old VHS movies, records or cas-
settes into digital files? There are a
number of ways.
There are gadgets out there that you
can simply attach to your existing VCR
or turntable and play the file into
your computer for recording.
These devices range in price from
$20 to $200 depending on the device
and software included and can be found
at Best Buy, on Amazon.comor many
other electronics retailers. As with
anything else, the more you spend, the
better the quality and ease of use.
There are also services that can han-
dle the tasks for you send themthe
video or tape, and theyll return the
tape and the digitized files.
Many drug stores and shopping
centers can performthe service as well,
for photos in many cases, and for vid-
eos in others.
If youve got particularly sensitive or
old tapes, you may want to consider
sending themto a service, as the simple
act of playing an older video can often
destroy the cassette.
If youre relatively savvy or youre
limited on time or money, most of the
conversion tools you can buy are rela-
tively inexpensive and fairly simple to
setup.

place 9 a.m. Wednesday, May 9 and a Grand Opening Celebration is slated for Saturday, June 2.
A Wyoming Valley native has come
back to the region and been tapped to
oversee real estate and special projects
duties at the Greater Wilkes-Barre
Chamber of Business and Industry.
Ross G. Macarty, a Wilkes-Barre resi-
dent who has lived and worked in south-
ern New Jersey the past nine years, has
been hired to the position that had been
held by Tom Williams. Williams left to
take a job at Quad 3 Group recently.

available and weve got raw land thats

The past three or four years have
been rough for everyone, but things are
turning, he added.
In addition to Macartys hiring, the
chamber also brought back John Maday
as a part-time employee handling mem-
ber services. He hadworkedinthat posi-
tion on a full-time basis until he and two
other employees were laid off during a
restructuring in January.
DonnaSedor, thechambersexecutive
vice president, said the chamber em-
ploys eight full-timers currently, plus
three part-timers. In addition, there are
10 part-timers employed on the cleaning
andmaintenancestaff. Oneof thosepart-
time employees is handlingthe adminis-
trative coordinator duties. That position
is advertised and once filled will leave
only the presidents position open.
The search to replace former Presi-
dent Todd Vonderheid, which began a
year ago, is ongoing.

Despite the
nearly 2 inches
of rain we just
had, our spring
rainfall is still
below normal
since March 1.
In nearby
Avoca, the
decit has
shrunk down to
only a quarter
inch, while in
the Poconos
the decit now
is 3.34 inches.
Cold, converging
air currents
around the
big stormwill
keep skies
overcast today
with more
rain showers.
In higher
elevations, snow
will mix in and a
southwest wind
will gust to 20
mph. A very
active weather
pattern this
week will bring
more rain on
Thursday and
again over the
coming week-
end.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: An upper-level trough of low pressure will produce rain and snow showers
across much of the Northeast today, especially during the morning hours. Meanwhile, onshore ow
will bring scattered showers to the Pacic Northwest, while showers and isolated thunderstorms will
be found over the Intermountain West. A few of these storms may produce small hail and gusty
winds.

Shine a Light for Autism
campaign under way
New Story school and service
locations throughout Pennsylvania
are conducting the annual Shine a
Light for Autism campaign until
April 30. The locations are selling
blue-colored light bulbs for $3, and
asking those who purchase the
bulbs to display them outside their
homes or businesses to show their
support for the cause. The cam-
paign is conducted to help raise
awareness and funds for autism
research and programs during
National Autism Awareness Month.
Proceeds benefit a variety of
autism charities including the Par-
ents Loving Children Through
Autism (www.plcta.org); Liv With
Autism Foundation (www.livwith-
autismfoundation.com); Lancaster
County Mommies (www.lcamon-
line.org); and Autism Speaks
(www.autismspeaks.org).
IN BRIEF
Health briefs are limited to nonprofit
entities and support groups. To have
your health-oriented announcement
included, send information to Health,
Times Leader, 15 N. Main St., Wilkes-Barre,
PA18711-0250; by fax: 829-5537; or email
[email protected]. Information
must be received at least two weeks in
advance.
While anorexia, bulimia and binge
eating disorders often surface
during adolescence, girls (and
boys) can show signs of trouble
much earlier. Some red flags:
Shes obsessed with weight. A
child might voice an intense
fear of gaining weight, comment
about feeling fat when shes a
normal size or, if she is over-
weight, become fixated on that
fact.
She sneaks or hoards food. You
might find discarded wrappers
in her room or notice shes
ashamed of what shes eaten.
She makes excuses for not eat-
ing. Common lines: she had a
big lunch or ate right before
coming home. She seems to
prefer eating alone.
Her eating and exercise habits
become extreme. A child might
refuse anything but very low-
calorie options which can
alternate with binges on favor-
ite "bad" foods and constantly
try to burn off calories: running
in front of the television, say, or
going for a jog after a long
sports practice.
Her appearance starts to
change. A child may or may not
lose weight. If shes not getting
enough calories, her hair and
skin will dry out and her energy
levels will fall.
She follows "rituals" at meals.
Anorexics might cut food into
tiny pieces or keep different
items from touching each other.
Bulimics will go to the bathroom
immediately after meals to
purge.
What to do: Reassure a child shes
beautiful never belittle her or
her behavior and ask why
shes feeling insecure. Brain-
storm ways to live healthfully
without banning any particular
foods: a weekly dessert night
instead of a regular supply of
sweets, maybe, or family walks
after dinner. Educate her on
good food choices and how to
follow hunger cues. Help her
find ways to be successful,
whether through sports or the
arts, and nurture her friend-
ships. Schedule a checkup with
a pediatrician and, if symptoms
continue, seek counseling.

really help to stave off
getting Alzheimers
disease?
M.L, Lima, Ohio
A: Using the brain
by doing various cog-
nitive activities like puzzles, reading
newspapers and books, watching televi-
sion or playing cards and board games
does help stave off Alzheimers. Re-
search does indeed show that more
frequent activity to stimulate memory
and learning is associated with a slow-
er rate of cognitive decline compared
to older folks who spend little time
stimulating their brain.
Cognitive reserve can postpone the
onset of symptoms of dementia, and
this is supported by studies showing
that bilingual persons experience the
symptoms of dementia years later than
single-language persons.
Q: How effective is salt water pool
treatment in killing bacteria and algae
compared with traditional chlorinated
pool water?
M.K., Atlanta, Ga.
A: Both are safe and effective meth-
ods of keeping pool water safe from
bacteria and algae. Chlorine treatment
is far less expensive than a salt water
treatment system, but some folks find
it irritating to the eyes and skin. It also
requires periodic monitoring of the
pool waters pH and chlorine concen-
tration. Some folks think of salt water
pool treatment systems as chlorine-
free, but thats not true. They use dis-
solved salt (sodium chloride) as a
source of chlorine. The salt water sys-
tem chlorinator uses electrolysis to
break down salt through a chemical
reaction into hypochlorous acid and
sodium hypochlorite. Unlike traditional
chlorine pool systems, salt water sys-
tems lack the production of chlora-
mines, which are the compounds
which cause burning of eyes, drying of
skin and that characteristic chlorine
odor. Salt water systems continually
monitor the water for the correct con-
centration of chlorine-based disin-
fectants and require a lot less work. But
they are a much costlier alternative to
traditional chlorine treatment.
A third method of keeping pool wa-
ter safe from algae and bacteria is a
copper ionization system. It was devel-
oped for use by NASA as a safe means
of water purification while in space. It
truly is chlorine-free. Copper ionizers
generate and release copper charged
particles into the pool water to kill
disease-causing organisms. They still
require some kind of oxidizer like
chlorine or an ozone generator to
shock the pool and remove the buil-
dup of organisms destroyed by the
copper ion sanitizer.

Large doses of vitamin C
may moderately reduce
blood pressure, Johns Hop-
kins researchers have found.
But thescientists dont rec-
ommend people start taking
large amounts of the vitamin.
Researchers led by Dr. Ed-
gar Pete R. Miller, an asso-
ciate professor in the divi-
sion of general internal med-
icine at Hopkins, reviewed
and analyzed data from 29
previous clinical trials and
found that taking 500 milli-
grams of vitamin C daily, or
five times the recommended
amount, could lower blood
pressure by 3.84 millimeters.
Although our review
found only a moderate im-
pact on blood pressure, if the
entire U.S. population low-
ered blood pressure by 3 mil-
liliters of mercury, there
wouldbe a lot fewer strokes,

ANSAS CITY, Mo. With
her prom at Staley High
School two weeks away, 16-
year-old Briana Traylor put on plastic
goggles and hopped into a salon tan-
ning bed.
She had gift certificates to Island
Tan Beach Club Inc. and figured shed
use one to get a little color before the
dance.
These days Briana, a fair-skinned
blonde, canuseatanningbedanytime
she wants in Missouri without her
parents permission. But Republican
state Rep. GaryCross of Lees Summit
recently introduced a bill in the Mis-
souri House to change that. HB1475
would require teens younger than 17
to have parental authorization in
person, at the salon before they
could soak up indoor ultraviolet rays.
Another lawmaker, Republican
Rep. Jay Barnes of Jefferson City,
sought to make the law even more re-
strictive. Barnes added an amend-
ment that wouldoutright banbedtan-
ning for anyone younger than 15.
While that amendment has since
been removed by lawmakers who
thought it went too far, the bill echoes
similar efforts nationwide to restrict
tanning for teens. More than 30 states
now have tanning laws requiring pa-
rental consent. More than 10 states
have banned bed tanning for teens of
certain ages.
Melanoma rates have been increas-
ing worldwide over the last several
decades, dermatologists warn. While
the incidence is highest among white
males, the most rapid increases from
1999 to 2008 were in white females
age 15 and up, according to the Na-
tional Cancer Institute and the Cen-
ters for Disease Control.

tanningbeds for anyone younger
than18. The World Health Orga-
nization is even more critical,
saying that no one under 35
shoulduse tanning beds because
they raise the risk for melanoma
by 75 percent.
Joe Levy, executive director of
the International Smart TanNet-
work inMichigan, who is paidby
tanning salons nationwide, said
tanning opponents dramatically
overstate the risk for political
purposes.
The problem with these bills
is the non-constructive manner
in which they are introduced, he
said. They are introduced as po-
litical grandstanding and a mis-
statement of the truth about UV
exposure. To say that sunlight is
harmful and therefore we should
avoidsunlight is likesayingwater
causes drowning, and therefore
we should avoid water.
In a recent statement, the
president of the American Acad-
emy of Dermatology said ultra-
violet radiation from any source
is dangerous.
Research shows that ultravio-
let radiation fromthe sun and in-
door tanning prematurely ages
the skin and causes skin cancer,
said Ronald L. Moy.
But while many doctors warn
of the dangers of tanning beds,
TVs Dr. Oz recently announced
onhis showthat he was rethink-
ing his position. While he still
doesnt recommend the beds for
tanning, tanning beds with low-
pressure lamps that produce
UVB radiation (and not just
UVA) can offer benefits, includ-
ing increased Vitamin D produc-
tion, he said. Still, he recom-
mended exposure for no more
than five minutes.
Briana Traylor said she feels
two ways about attempts to re-
strict teen tanning.
At some point if its legal any-
one should be able to do it, she
said. But I guess I agree that
parents should have to sign off,
because if something happens
if you get cancer your par-
ents should know what youve
been doing.
Cross, a 56-year-old prostate
cancer survivor, said thats the
whole idea behind the bill.
I am not in any way trying to
put (tanning salon owners) out
of business, he said. The pur-
pose is to educate parents. Peo-
pledont realizethat theultravio-
let rays in a tanning bed are10 to
15 times more powerful than
sunlight.
Cross consulted with experts,
including Lynn Cornelius, chief
of dermatology for Washington
University School of Medicine in
St. Louis.
There has always been a
problem with tanning beds, but
lately that problem has grown
more serious, Cornelius said.
Today salons are offering high-
pressure, high-intensity lamps
that are more powerful. In some
cases youre getting 10 to 12
times the ultraviolet exposure of
the sun. Anyone who uses a tan-
ning bed for any amount of time
is 75 percent more likely to de-
velop melonoma.
Thats what Cross daughter,
Melissa, did in high school and
college.
In her junior year of high
school her family practitioner
toldher togive it up, Cross said.
She did not, and in her senior
year at the University of Nebras-
ka she was diagnosed with pre-
cancerous cells on her back.
Now she will be vulnerable (to
skin cancer) for the rest of her
life.
She is 24.
Brianas mother knows her
daughter is tanning. In fact, she
gave her the gift certificates.
Both have fair skin.
I burned all my life, Belinda
Traylor said. This is safer. Its
controlled, and we go at it slow,
and go to a dermatologist once a
year to be screened.
Another customer, Ashley
Johnson, 25 of Kansas City, has
been tanning since she was 16.
She says she understands why
Cross introduced his bill: Obvi-
ouslya higher riskof skincancer.
But I dont have a problem with
(tanning) if you dont do it year-
round. Some people overdo it
and you see them in December
and theyre completely bronze.
That looks a little odd.
Renee Knopf of Kansas City
doesnt like the bill.
I dont think anybody should
dictatewhat I trytodoas amoth-
er, she said. Thats not the gov-
ernments role.
Lisa Ehrhardt of Kansas City
said tanning is a personal choice
that doesnt need to be restrict-
ed.
With anything you do thats
not recommended for your body
whether its smoking, drink-
ing or tanning you should be
aware of the warnings and use
common sense, she said. You
knowif yougointoa tanningbed
you increase your risk. But its
my choice.
Rep. Cross said there are safer
alternatives to lying in tanning
beds, including spray tanning,
available at many tanning sa-
lons.
You really cant tell the differ-
ence, he said. And its just not
worth the risk.
He thinks all parents should
have a serious conversation with
their children before they climb
in a tanning bed.
I am very passionate about
this, being a cancer survivor and
seeing the effects of this type of
tanning, Cross said. Its a very
serious matter. Approximately
8,650 people in the U.S. every
year lose their life because of
melanoma. When my daughter
came home (last) weekend she
looked at me and said Dad,
thank you for doing this.

For the young, regret over poor
choices or missed opportunities
canbe a powerful carrot: It sparks
reappraisal, accelerates learning
and motivates change. In the old,
regret appears to be no better
than a stick a stern reminder
of poor choices, lost powers and
our short time remaining on
earth. So whats the key to happy
oldage? Dont lunge after the car-
rot and you wont get hit by the
stick.
A newstudy finds that howwe
deal with foregone options and
lost opportunities makes a huge
difference in whether we will
grow into happy seniors or suc-
cumb to late-life depression. Re-
porting their findings in Science
magazine, German researchers
found that in repetitive games of
chance, when healthy young
adults pay a price for a wrong de-
cision, they shift their strategies
accordingly in the next round. If
their caution lost them a big
payoff, theyll be bolder in the
next game; if they risked too
much and came up empty-hand-
ed, theyll become more cautious
the next time around.
Their response to regret is to
act on it. And their physiological
response tothat regret was active
too: Their heartrates increased
and their skin became clammy.
Like miniskirts, muscle shirts
and long hair, what worked well
for young people did not work so
well after age 50. Among older
subjects (a total of 40 adults with
average age of 65), the 20 who
had experienced late-life depres-
sion (defined as a first episode of
depression after age 55) were far

Miller said in a statement.
However, Miller warned that
none of the studies showed that
vitamin C directly prevents or
reduces rates of cardiovascular
disease, including stroke.
Scientists have focused on vi-
tamin Cs potential role in blood
pressure reduction because of
its biological and physiological
effects. It may act as a diuretic,
causing the kidneys to remove
more sodium and water from
the body. This helps to relax the
blood vessel walls and in turn
lowers blood pressure.

of Vitamin C daily, or
five times the recom-
mended amount, could
lower blood pressure by

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Two
weeks ago I got a
memorial tattoo
done for my beloved
grandma. Its on my
arm and says in lov-
ing memory at the
top. Grams portrait
is underneath, and a beautiful poem
my grandpa wrote for her is under
the portrait. The tattoo artist did a
phenomenal job! It looks just like her
and I was thrilled with the results.
The problem is, I posted a picture
on Facebook of the tattoo, and out
of the blue a distant cousin sent me
a message telling me that the tattoo
was selfish and attention-seeking be-
havior! He said he was hurt in more
ways than one because of it.
Abby, I dont understand. I love this
tattoo. I wanted to honor the woman
who meant so much to me. Did I hon-
or her the wrong way like he says?
Was I selfish? Im so hurt, I guess Im
just looking for some input into this.
My friends and family say hes jealous
and not to give it another thought,
but Im obsessing. Please help.
Honoring Grandma
Dear Honoring Grandma: Please
accept my sympathy for your obvi-
ously heartfelt loss. Your family and
friends are correct that your cousins
comments are out of line. You are not
responsible for your cousins feelings,
so stop obsessing. Whatever has hurt
him is not your tattoo, or anything
you posted on Facebook.
You say he is distant. Keep it that
way and concentrate on something
positive like the fact that you have
honored your grandmothers memory.
Then go on and build a happy and
constructive life. Im sure that is what
she would want you to do.
Dear Abby: My neighbors teenage
sons ask to borrow our lawn mower
and other yard tools so they can make
money cutting the grass for other
neighbors. What do we do?
Love Thy Neighbor
Dear Neighbor: How responsible
are the boys? If they can be trusted
with your lawn mower and other yard
tools and youre kind-hearted, allow
them to use the items with the under-
standing that they will be returned to
you in the same condition in which
they were borrowed. Then have them
cut YOUR lawn as a way of showing
their appreciation.
Dear Abby: My co-worker Oscar
is a grouchy, bitter man. His cubicle
is close to mine, so I can hear every-
thing he says. He constantly talks
about other employees and even
about the owners of the company.
Oscars general bitterness and poor
attitude constantly bring me down. I
have tried tuning him out, unsuccess-
fully. I dont like being subjected to
this daily, but I dont know what I can
do about it. Please help.
Needs Positivity in Lexington, Ky.
Dear Needs Positivity: The first
thing you should do is tell Oscar
that you can hear every word hes
saying because he may not know
that hes being overheard. Tell
him his conversations are distract-
ing and ask him to stop. If he
does not comply, complain to a
supervisor. And if your complaint
is not acted upon, bring headp-
hones, if its allowed, so you wont
be subjected to the daily dose of
negativity.
DEAR ABBY

Tattoo tribute to grandmother draws fire online from distant cousin
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). An
adventure is coming together.
These are the earliest planning
stages, and youll do all you
can to clarify your options. If
possible, see things in person.
Conduct face-to-face interviews.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Knowledge can be like a light
that turns on in your mind, or it
can be a structure that compli-
cates matters. In the latter case,
keep studying until you have
your breakthrough.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even
if the old methods are work-
ing, you cant help but wonder
whether another way would
work even better. Youll probably
be the first among your friends
to try something new.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Suddenly, something doesnt feel
quite right about your actions
and activities. You have to ask
yourself: Are you fulfilling some-
one elses dreams for yourself
instead of your own?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You love
a good story, and youll hear
one today. Soak in every detail.
Theres more to learn than youll
be able to understand on the
first listen. The tale will continue.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
According to you, any amount
of time you spend looking for
things is a waste. You expect
yourself to be organized enough
to know where your personal
items are at all times.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Someone
will make a sacrifice. Even
though you dont want to put
anyone out, this gesture helps
you understand your importance
to others, and that feels good.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
often take on so much that you
feel overwhelmed by your life.
Arrange things so that you can
win. However small a victory
may be, it proves something:
Youre a winner.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You like finding new talented
people, and in the weeks to
come, you will become a fan of
someone who fits the descrip-
tion. Your interest will open
doors for you eventually.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youll be dealing with two cat-
egories: things that cost you
money, and things that make
you money. Youll rid yourself of
material things that arent worth
the price you pay to keep them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Youve already proved that you
could turn your vaguest longings
into a concrete plan. Youre at
that place again, experiencing a
fuzzy, unfocused kind of wanting.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A
good coach wont let the team
stay at a subpar level. Youll be
the kind of coach who isolates
your teams problems, however
unpleasant.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (April 24).
Youre idealistic when it comes
to relationships, and yet people
rise to your high standards,
and youll be thrilled with what
happens next. Professionally,
youll branch out to include the
untried. May and September
show an income spike. Youll
adventure in June. October
brings a new interest and group
of friends. Love signs are Leo
and Aquarius. Your lucky num-
bers are: 4, 29, 50, 24 and 17.
