WILKES-BARRE TWP. -- The
McCann School of Business and
Technology boasts the slogan
Changing futures, changing
lives.
Through an anti-drinking and
texting while driving programof-
fered Wednesday, educators at
McCann hope to not only change
lives, but perhaps save them as
well.
Receiving hands-on demon-
strations onavoidingdistractions
while driving, more than100 stu-
dents fromarea schools attended
the 2012 Arrive Alive Tour on
McCanns Wilkes-Barre Town-
ship campus.
We specialize in tying our-
selves to the community and to
community issues, said
McCann Campus Director, T.J.
Eltringham.
And we felt safe driving was
more important of an issue than
ever, he said.
As cellphones have become
more prevalent in daily lives, so
havecellphone-relatedaccidents.
In a report published in 2010,
the National Safety Council esti-
mated that at least 28 percent of
all traffic crashes or at least 1.6
million crashes each year in-
volve drivers using cellphones
and texting.
Moreover, the same report in-
dicates that teenagers text more
than any other age group.
Coupled with their general in-
experience behind the wheel,
safety education for teen drivers
is an ever-growing need.
Having run similar programs
in the past, officials at McCann
recognized the call for aware-
ness.
We try to support the commu-
nity by helping it, Eltringham
said.
This is one way we feel we can
really make a difference, he said.
The program ran in coopera-
tion with UNITE International, a
health and wellness organization
that brings safety programs to
schools across the nation.
UNITEs Arrive Alive program
features a driving simulator to al-
lowstudents, inacontrolledenvi-
ronment, to experience the po-
tential consequences of distrac-
tion behind the wheel.
More and more accidents are
happening to teenagers due to
texting and drunk driving, said
Nationwide Insurance Principal
Agent Abe Hobson.
Hobson and Nationwide do-
nated the food and beverages
served during Wednesdays
event, which also featured dem-
onstrations from the Wilkes-
Barre Township Police Depart-
ment.
Inadditionto attending the Ar-
rive Alive program, students also
had the opportunity to tour the
campus, meet program directors
andreceive the hands-ontraining
experience of what its like to be a
student at McCann.

France hints at intervention
F
rance raised the prospect of mil-
itary intervention in Syria on
Wednesday, saying the U.N. should
consider harsher measures if an in-
ternational peace plan that has been
shaken by violence ultimately collaps-
es.
The statement reflects mounting
international frustration with daily
attacks that have kept a cease-fire be-
tween troops loyal to President Bashar
Assad and armed rebels seeking to oust
him from taking hold.
Activists said government troops
killed at least 29 civilians Wednesday,
including 12 killed in shelling in the
central city of Hama.
Rebels attacked elsewhere, killing at
least four security personnel.
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe
said France had discussed invoking
Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which
can be enforced militarily, with other
world powers.
WASHINGTON
House backs GSA limits
Outraged by lavish government
conferences on the taxpayers tab, the
House has backed a measure to impose
tough limits on future events and how
much agencies can spend.
The provision was added to the
Digital Accountability and Transpar-
ency Act. The bill would create a one-
stop, independent website that average
Americans could search for informa-
tion on federal spending.
The House passed the bill by voice
vote Wednesday.
The bill would limit the number of
conferences held annually and the
amount of money a government agency
could spend on the event no more
than $500,000.

Pakistan launches missile
Pakistan successfully launched an
upgraded ballistic missile capable of
carrying a nuclear warhead Wednesday,
days after its neighbor and archenemy
India conducted its own missile test,
the Pakistani military said.
The Hatf IV Shaheen-1A missile was
fired into the sea, the military said in a
written statement.
It was described as an intermediate-
range missile having a longer range
than its predecessor, the Shaheen-1,
which is believed to fly up to 465 miles.
Intermediate-range ballistic missiles
have a range of 1,865 to 3,110 miles,
according to GlobalSecurity.org.
WASHINGTON
More questions on scandal
Conflicting portraits of the Secret
Service and new questions about the
militarys role in an embarrassing pros-
titution scandal in Colombia emerged
Wednesday. Senators on Capitol Hill
challenged Homeland Security Secre-
tary Janet Napolitano to reconcile the
image of agents who protect the lives
of the president with the dozen officers
and supervisors implicated in the sor-
did affair.
Meanwhile, the Defense Department
acknowledged it knew that six military
personnel had broken curfew rules
before President Barack Obamas arriv-
al at a Latin American summit but let
them remain on the job. In addition to
the Secret Service officers and super-
visors, another dozen military person-
nel also were implicated in the prosti-
tution scandal.

Royal visit to restored Cutty Sark
Britains Queen Elizabeth II and Prince
Philip stand with a collection of Mer-
chant Navy figureheads Wednesday
during a visit to the Cutty Sark in
Greenwich, London. The ship, built in
1869, was badly damaged by fire in
May 2007. It underwent a $80.6 mil-
lion restoration. The vessel is restored
and will reopen to the public today.
WASHINGTON Bucking the Oba-
ma administration, Supreme Court jus-
tices seemed to find little trouble
Wednesday with major parts of Arizonas
tough immigration law that require po-
lice to check the legal status of people
they stop for other reasons.
But the fate of other provisions that
make Arizona state crimes out of immi-
gration violations was unclear in the
courts final argument of the term.
The latest clashbetweenstates andthe
administration turns on the extent of in-
dividual states roles in dealing with the
nations 11 million illegal immigrants.
Civil rights groups say the Arizona law
andthose insome other states encourage
racial profiling and ethnic stereotyping,
and debate over such laws could have an
impact on this falls elections. More than
200 protesters gathered outside the
court, most of them opposed to the Ari-
zona law.
However, in an unusual comment,
Chief Justice John Roberts made clear at
the outset of the administrations argu-
ment Wednesday that the court was look-
ing only at state-versus-federal power,
not the civil rights concerns that already
are the subject of other lawsuits.
Liberal and conservative justices reac-
ted skeptically to the administrations ar-
gument the state exceeded its authority
when it made the records check, and an-
other provision allowing suspected ille-
gal immigrants to be arrested without
warrants, part of the Arizona law aimed
at driving illegal immigrants elsewhere.
You can see its not selling very well,
Justice Sonia Sotomayor told Solicitor
General Donald Verrilli Jr.
Verrilli saidtherecords checkwouldal-
low the state to engage effectively in
mass incarceration of immigrants lack-
ing documentation.
He said the law embodying Arizonas
approach of maximum enforcement con-
flicts with a policy that seeks to balance
national security, law enforcement, for-
eign policy, human rights and the rights
of law-abiding citizens and immigrants.
But Roberts was among those on the
court who took issue with Verrillis char-
acterization of the check of immigration
status, saying the state merely wants to
notify federal authorities it has someone
in custody who may be in the U.S. illegal-
ly.
Verrilli did not mention Wednesday
that the administration has deported
nearly 400,000 people a year, far more
than previous administrations, although
the information was included in written
submissions to the court.

WASHINGTON The Republican
presidential nomination all but in hand,
Mitt Romney is refocusing his efforts on
challenging President Barack Obama,
raising cash for the battle ahead and rec-
onciling with one-time primary rival
Rick Santorum.
Tonight is the start of a new cam-
paign, the former Massachusetts gover-
nor saidTuesdaynight as hecelebrateda
sweep of five primaries.
The contests were the first since San-
torumconcededtherace, andtheformer
Pennsylvaniasenator saidheintendedto
sit down with Rom-
neys representatives
Wednesday and Rom-
ney himself inthe next
week or two.
Newt Gingrich, one
of two other Republi-
cans still in the race,
on Wednesday agreed
with Santorum.
Appearing in North Carolina, Gin-
grich said he, too, expects Romney will
bethenomineeandcalledonthepartyto
unite behind the former Massachusetts
governor. Gingrich said he is campaign-
ing as a citizen but did not explain.
While Santorums specific timeline
was unclear, Romney was to intensify
fundraising efforts Wednesday and to-
day to prepare for what may be the most
expensive presidential contest inthe his-
tory of American politics. He faces a 10-
to-1 cash disadvantage in a general elec-
tion matchup against the Democratic
president.
The presumptive Republican nomi-
nee has at least six closed-door fundrais-
ers intwodays inNewYorkandNewJer-
sey.
In Iowa City, Iowa, on Wednesday,
President Obama looked every bit the
campaigner as he told supporters that
Iowa always feels like home to me.
With a focus on student loans, he ral-
liedyoungpeopleduringhisthirdvisit to
a university campus intwodays andsaid
keeping college affordable is at the
heart of who we are.
Obamas election-seasonspeechat the
University of Iowa mirrored his address-
es Tuesday in North Carolina and Col-
orado, and was part of the campaign ap-
peal to young voters, an important con-
stituency that the Democratic incum-
bent and Republican rival Mitt Romney
are trying to win over.
The issue of student debt goes right to
the heart of economic anxiety affecting
many families and a new generation of
voters as the campaign season takes
hold.
Obama, who was born in Hawaii and
hails from Illinois, made his comment
about theat-homefeelingof Iowatohun-
dreds of people crammed into an over-
flowroombefore his speech.
Largely an afterthought in the Repub-
lican contest, Gingrich vowed to contin-
ue campaigning in North Carolina this
week.
Romneys needs: cash, reconciliation
Gingrich is following Santorums
lead and is bowing out of race.

ALLENTOWN The state
office that regulates Pennsylva-
nias dog-breeding industry is
running out of money, has been
slow to enforce new regulations
meant to improve the lives of
tens of thousands of kennel
dogs, and faces charges that its
once again going easy on oper-
ators of so-called puppy mills.
Members of the state-sanc-
tioned Dog Law Advisory Board
say the problems threaten to un-
do years of hard-won progress in
the fight against substandard
breeders who mistreat their
dogs and recall a time in the
not-so-distant past when Penn-
sylvania was known as the pup-
py mill capital of the East.
I see no leadership. Im see-
ing nothing that shows me there
is any concern about the welfare
of animals, said advisory board
member Tom Hickey Sr. Penn-
sylvanians care about dogs, and
when they hear whats going on,
there will be an uprising about
this.
The panel intends to grill
Agriculture Department offi-
cials when it meets Wednesday
for the first time since Gov. Tom
Corbett took office in January
2011.
An Associated Press review of
documents, as well as inter-
views with dog-law experts,
highlight why critics are con-
cerned that Pennsylvania is put-
ting enforcement on the back
burner.
The Dog Law Enforcement
Office didnt revoke or suspend a
single license in 2011, records
show, while most commercial
kennels received only one in-
spection last year, not the two re-
quired by law.
The office is only now begin-
ning to enforce regulations that
impose strict new standards for
ventilation, humidity, lighting,
flooring and ammonia levels, de-
spite the fact they took effect Ju-
ly 1. And the new director of the
Dog Law Enforcement Office
a onetime banker with scant ex-
perience in dog law or animal
welfare has told wardens to
give slack to kennel operators,
according to a former employee.
Agriculture Department spo-
keswoman Samantha Krepps de-
nied theres been any change in
policy and said the agency re-
mains committed to kennel
oversight.

CHERRY HILL, N.J.
Teachers hurled insults like
bastard, tard, damn
dumb and a hippo in a balle-
rina suit. A bus driver threat-
ened to slap one child, while a
bus monitor told another,
Shut up, you little dog.
They were all special needs
students, and their parents all
learned about the verbal
abuse the same way by
planting audio recorders on
them before sending them off
to school.
Incases aroundthe country,
suspicious parents have been
taking advantage of conve-
nient, inexpensive technology
to tell themwhat children, be-
cause of their disabilities, are
not able to express on their
own. Its a practice that can
help expose abuses, but it
comes with some dangers.
This week, a father in Cher-
ry Hill, N.J., posted on You-
Tubeclips of secretlyrecorded
audio that caught one adult
calling his autistic 10-year-old
son a bastard. In less than
three days, video got 1.2 mil-
lion views, raising the promi-
nence of the small movement.
There have been at least nine
similar cases across the U.S.
since 2003.
If a parent has any reason
at all to suggest a child is be-
ing abused or misused, I
stronglyrecommendthat they
do the same thing, said Wen-
dy Fournier, president of the
National Autism Association.
But George Giuliani, execu-
tive director of the National
Association of Special Educa-
tion Teachers and director of
special education at Hofstra
University in Hempstead,
N.Y., says that while the docu-
mented mistreatment of chil-
dren has been disturbing, se-
cret recordings are a bad idea.
They could, he said, violate
the privacy rights of other
children.
Laws on audio recordings
vary by state, but in most of
the U.S., including New Jer-
sey, recordings can generally
be made legally if one party
gives consent. Over the past
decade, courts in New York
and Wisconsin have ruled that
recordings made secretly on
school buses were legal, find-
ing that there is a diminished
expectation of privacy for
drivers on the bus.
The recordings have led to
firings in several states, crimi-
nal convictions of bus employ-
ees in Wisconsin and New
York, and some legal settle-
ments.

WILKES-BARRE A Ply-
mouth man charged with sex-
ually assaulting two girls was
convicted Wednesday of all
counts relating to the case.
Robert Caravella, 53, of
GouldStreet, was convictedof
four counts of involuntary de-
viate sexual intercourse, three
counts of aggravated indecent
assault of a child, three counts
of contact witha minor, sexual
offenses, and two counts each
of corruption of minors and
endangering the welfare of
children.
County Judge Tina Pola-
chek Gartley said Caravella
will be sentenced on July 19.
He faces a maximum of 20
years in prison on nine of the
charges that are felonies of the
first degree.
A jury of four women and
eight men was chosen Mon-
day, and deliberated Wednes-
day for about two and a half
hours before delivering their
verdict.
Polachek Gartley said Cara-
vella will be evaluated by the
Sexual Offenders Assessment
Board and was remanded to
the county prison. During
opening statements to jurors,
Deputy District Attorney
Alexis Falvello saidthe young-
er girl was 3 years old and the
other girl was 7 when the al-
legedassaults began. They are
now11 and 17.
Falvello said Caravella was
trusted by the family and of-
ten babysat the girls.
Caravellas attorney, An-
drew Katsock III, told jurors
there are two sides to every
story.
Caravella has maintained
his innocence since he was ar-
rested by police in March
2011. He claimed the girls nev-
er told their mother.
Police allege Caravella sep-
arately assaulted the two girls
in Nanticoke and Plymouth,
and would make them watch
pornography videos or look at
adult magazines.
Katsock told jurors the girls
were enrolled in day care and
school and were never alone
with Caravella from 2002 to
2005.

HAZLETWP. Aman charged
Tuesday with robbing two banks
served a state prison sentence on
bigamy and burglary offenses be-
fore being paroled to a controver-
sial community corrections facil-
ity in Hazleton.
State police at Hazleton arrest-
ed Shawn Luther Kelley, 33, last
known address as East Chestnut
Street, Hazleton, shortly after he
allegedly robbed a branch of Citi-
zens Bank on Broad Street in
West Hazleton.
Hewas identifiedas thealleged
bandit wearing surgical gloves
and a surgical mask who robbed
the branch of PNC Bank on Sus-
quehanna Bou-
levard, Hazle
Township, on
April 16.
Court re-
cords in North-
umberland
County say Kel-
ley pleaded
guilty to separate charges of biga-
my (being married to more than
one woman at the same time),
burglary and theft in September
2007. He was sentenced to one
year, six months to three years in
state prison.
Records from the state Depart-
ment of Corrections say Kelley
was paroled on Feb. 22, 2010, to
MinSec, a private community
correctional facility in downtown
Hazleton. He was released from
parole on June 22, 2010, records
say.
MinSec has been criticized by
Hazletonandstateofficials dueto
several violent crimes committed
by current or former facility resi-
dents.
According to the criminal com-
plaints:
State police allege Kelley con-
cealed his face with a surgical
maskandabandageandworesur-
gical gloves when he walked into
PNC Bank and passed a note to a
teller stating he had a gun on
April 16. He fled the bank and
drove away.
At the same time state police
identified Kelley as the alleged
robber, he allegedly held up Citi-
zens Bank telling a teller he had a
gun.
State police learned Kelley was
in the area of 22nd and Vine
streets wherehewas arrested, the
criminal complaints say.
He was arraigned on robbery
and theft charges and jailed at the
countyprisonfor lackof $500,000
bail.

WILKES-BARRE An attor-
ney vigorously argued before a
preliminary hearing Wednesday
that a burglary charge against his
client, Timothy Jasnoski, should
be dismissed.
City police charged Jasnoski,
34, with breaking into an unoccu-
pied house on Gardner Avenue
and trying to steal copper pipes
in the basement on March 20.
Jasnoskis lawyer, Anthony
Moses, argued the burglary
charge, a felony, should be dis-
missed because the house was
unoccupied. Under the states
crimes code for burglary, Moses
said, the structure must be occu-
pied for the burglary charge to be
valid.
Moses stated the crimes code
allows a defense for burglary
where the building or structure
was abandoned.
Officer James Touey said the
house was recently sold and un-
dergoing renovations.
District Judge Andrew Barilla
determined Assistant District At-
torney Mamie Phillips establish-
ed a case, sending charges of bur-
glary, criminal trespass, criminal
attempt to commit burglary and
criminal mischief to Luzerne
County Court.
Touey testified he was dis-
patched to a break-in on Gardner
Avenue and found an idling Jeep
with a woman
inside the
parked vehicle.
He noticed a
door to the
Gardner Ave-
nue house ap-
peared to be
kicked in.
Officer Stanley Wychock and
his police dogsearchedthe house
and found Jasnoski trying to
crawl out a basement window,
Touey testified.
Moses questioned Touey if he
knew the house was abandoned.
Touey replied he learned after
the burglary charge was filed that
the house had been recently sold
to a man in Allentown. Touey
said it appeared the house was
undergoing renovations.
Inanunrelatedcase, charges of
burglary, theft and receiving sto-
len property were dismissed
against Jasnoski after police ac-
cused him of breaking into a
house on East Chestnut Street
andstealingjewelrythat was sold
at a pawn shop on Feb. 24.

WILKES-BARRE Prosecu-
tors have withdrawn charges
against a West Hazleton man
in a case where they say he
had a sexual relations with a
teen over a several-year period,
citing the man is facing charg-
es related to the same case in
another county.
Deputy District Attorney
Alexis Falvello said in court
papers filed Wednesday that
charges of endangering the
welfare of children and corrup-
tion of minors were being
withdrawn because Edward P.
Gruenemeier, 36, is facing a
trial on similar charges relating
to the case in Carbon County
court.
That trial on six charges
relating to the case, including
aggravated indecent assault,
statutory sexual assault and
involuntary deviate sexual
intercourse, is scheduled to
begin on May 7, according to
court papers.
According to court papers,
the woman told police Gruene-
meier began having sexual
intercourse with her when she
was 13 years old in 2002. The
woman told police in April
2011 that Gruenemeier first
began inappropriately touching
her, and that the abuse pro-
gressed into regular sexual
intercourse between the two
when the woman moved to
Lebanon, Pa., and then to
Hazle Township. The woman
said she became pregnant with
Gruenemeiers child in Decem-
ber 2006 and then with his
second child in August 2008.
Judge Joseph Sklarosky, Jr.,
granted Falvellos request to
have the charges withdrawn.
WILKES-BARRE A man
charged with shooting two
people more than two years
ago waived his right to a pre-
liminary hearing in Wilkes-
Barre Central Court on
Wednesday.
Jquan Humphrey, 19, no
known address, waived four
counts of aggravated assault to
Luzerne County Court.
Police withdrew five counts
of reckless endangerment, and
one count each of firearms not
to be carried without a license
and discharge a firearm into an
occupied structure against
Humphrey.
Police allege Humphrey,
when he was 17-years-old, shot
Camille Mayhems and Tory
Medley at 45 Hutson St. on
Aug. 22, 2009, according to the
criminal complaint.
Mayhems was shot in her
foot and Medley suffered a
gunshot injury to his arm and
chest, police said.
Mayhems and Medley sur-
vived their injuries.
Police learned there was a
confrontation involving juve-
niles near Wilkes-Barre Boule-
vard and Hazle Avenue, and a
second fight in the area of
Hutson and Metcalf streets.
When the second fight end-
ed, two people chased Hum-
phrey, also known as J-Money.
Humphrey ran away and
yelled he was going to get a
gun and come back to "shoot
yall (expletive)," the criminal
complaint says. Police said in
the criminal complaint Hum-
phrey arrived at the Hutson
Street house with a firearm.

ted at the last authority meet-
ing. Working as a consultant to
FoxRothschild, Murphysaidhe
attended five meetings before
that date. He has not disclosed
how much he was paid for that
work or who paid him the law
firm or the parking authority.
The latest bill for work
done between Feb. 21 and
March 15 totaled $8,130 for
27.1 hours worked at the rate of
$300 per hour.
Alan Wohlstetter, the Fox
Rothschild attorney who has
been retained by the
Parking Authority to
handle the process
that could lead to
leasing the citys
parking assets, is
normally paid $535
per hour, according
to an agreement ac-
cepted and signed by
Paul Maher, chair-
man of the authority.
However, Wohlstet-
ter said his firm is
charging $400 per
hour during the ini-
tial phase of the citys process to
determine if it, along with the
authority, will lease the citys
parking assets.
If the process moves to Phase
II seeking bidders Fox Roth-
schilds charge increases to
$500 per hour and Murphys
rate would be $400 per hour.
Wohlstetter said last week
that prospective bidders al-
ready have inquired about the
citys parking assets.
Leighton wants to lease the
citys 2,113 garage spaces, 160
surface lot spaces and 800 park-
ing meters. The city operates
the Intermodal Center and the
parking meters; the authority
operates Park & Lock garages
and surface lots. He said the
city is seeking a minimum of
$20 million up front and reten-
tion of the enforcement reve-
nue from the parking meters.
WILKES-BARRE Frank
Sorick, president of the Wilkes-
Barre City Taxpayers Associ-
ation, will bring a stack of
Right-to-Know requests to to-
days Parking Authority meet-
ing, where a proposal by Mayor
TomLeighton to lease the citys
parking assets will be dis-
cussed.
Sorick said he wants to know
if the authority sent out Re-
quests for Proposal before re-
taining Fox Roth-
schild, the Philadel-
phia law firm at
which Patrick Mur-
phy, brother of for-
mer city administra-
tor and Fox Roth-
schild consultant J.J.
Murphy, is a partner.
Sorick also wants
to see all invoices
and payments made
to Fox Rothschild
and J.J. Murphy for
work on the leasing
plan.
An RFP should have been
done, Sorick said. The Park-
ing Authority is an arm of the
city and these are city assets we
are talking about leasing. Lets
just say we have a lot of ques-
tions.
Sorick, a former candidate
for mayor, said that at the next
meetingof the taxpayers associ-
ation, trainingwill be offeredon
how to correctly fill out a right-
to-know request and navigate
through the city system.
It amazes me that if a citizen
asks a question here, forget it,
youre not gettingananswer un-
til you submit the (request),
Sorick said. Thats why we are
training people on how to sub-
mit them.
J.J. Murphy said last week he
has been paid for consulting
work done prior to Feb. 21 the
beginning date of a bill submit-

WILKES-BARRE The
Times Leaders coverage of
the September flooding of the
Susquehanna River was
among the five awards the
newspaper received in the
Pennsylvania Associated
Press Managing Editors an-
nual writing and photo con-
tests.
Competingagainst newspa-
pers with a circulation be-
tween 30,001and 75,000, The
Times Leader captured three
individual and two staff
awards. The entries were
judged by editors at AP mem-
ber newspapers in North Car-
olina.
The PAPME contest is al-
ways very competitive, and
were proud of winning
awards in several significant
categories, said Joe Butkiew-
icz, vice president and execu-
tive editor of Impressions
Media, parent company of
The Times Leader.
A first place award for gen-
eral news coverage of the
flooding in September 2011 is
a credit to every newsroom
staff member, who pulled to-
gether under very difficult cir-
cumstances tocreate superior
print editions while keeping
our websites updated with
news around the clock. And
its no surprise photographers
Aimee Dilger, Don Carey and
Pete Wilcox were recognized
for their terrific photos from
the flooding.
The paper earned a first
place for General News Re-
porting for its Move over
Agnes coverage of the flood-
ing.
Dilger, Carey and Wilcox
earned a second place in the
Photo Story category for
Time for shock and tears.
Mark Jones took a first
place award in the Editorial
category for, Empty promise:
A state gas tax.
Editorial Page Editor
Mark Jones has been an advo-
cate for higher standards for
people, agencies and officials
throughout the community;
recognition for his editorials
is deserved, said Butkiewicz.
Terrie Morgan-Besecker
won a first place in the catego-
ry of Enterprise Reporting for
The enemy within: Suit tar-
gets care at VA.
The Times Leader is com-
mitted to enterprise report-
ing, be it investigative or tell-
ing the stories of people in the
community. Terrie does this
level of workyear-round, said
Butkiewicz.
Derek Levarse took second
place in the Sports Deadline
Reporting category for The
healing begins.
Derek was aggressive but
fair inhis reportingfromState
College in the wake of the
scandal at Penn State, said
Butkiewicz.
Were proudof the recogni-
tion for our staff and the news
organization, but the real re-
ward is always serving our
readers with reporting that is
fair and writing and presenta-
tion that is superior, he said.

KINGSTON -- Hal Bloss, executive di-
rector of the Luzerne Intermediate Unit
Board of Directors, congratulated all
programs and program directors, in re-
gard to a recent audit completed by the
Joseph R. Aliciene Accounting Agency.
Bloss, who will be retiring this sum-
mer, said the report reflected the com-
mitment of the entire unit toprovide effi-
cient and effective educational services
to the children it serves.
Bloss also lauded Lori Bennett from
the Tunkhannock Area School District
for her work on the scholarship commit-
tee.
Bennett said Dominque Peters would
be the recipient of the Stoddart Scholar-
ship presented by that committee.
Bloss also said Dallas, Greater Nanti-
coke Area, Hazleton Area, Wilkes-Barre
Area, Wyoming Area and Wyoming Val-
ley West school districts had approved
the LIU general operating budget, with
Crestwood being the only district voting
down the budget.
The budget will be finalizedbefore the
2012-13 school year.

MCADOO A new five-mile
distribution line is bringing nat-
ural gas to manufacturer Altadis
USA in the McAdoo Industrial
Park, and offering the surround-
ing community access to a re-
source that was previously un-
available.
On Wednesday, officials from
Altadis and UGI Utilities Inc. cel-
ebrated the opening of the line in
Schuylkill County that was fund-
ed entirely by private-sector in-
vestment. The project has the
happy side-effects of making nat-
ural gas service available to McA-
doo residents and connecting the
Hazleton gas distribution net-
work to a second feeder line, im-
proving the reliability of that net-
work.
It encompasses so many posi-
tive aspects of being a natural gas
utility, UGI spokesmanDonBro-
minski said.
Altadis General Manager Skip
Calviero said the company want-
ed to switch its heat source from
fuel oil in order to take advantage
of comparatively cheap natural
gas, which he marked as a prod-
uct of Marcellus Shale gas drill-
ing. Wellhead prices for natural
gas have droppedfrommore than
$4 per million British thermal
units in 2010 to around $2 today,
in part due to the availability of
domestic natural gas.
Altadis, a wholly owned sub-
sidiaryof theU.K.-basedImperial
Tobacco Group, makes a number
of products including cigar
wrappers and vegetable-based
lunchmeat film wraps that re-
quire the drying of a slurry to a
sheet, and that drying process re-
quires a large amount of heat.
We expect to save in excess of
a million dollars a year in fuel
costs, Calviero said. It just
keeps us competitive. Some of
our competitors have natural gas
available, so it helps us keep a
competitive edge as well as im-
prove our emissions.
In his remarks at the opening
ceremony, state Sen. John Yudi-
chak, D-Plymouth Township,
called the project a very unique
story.
Were not here with a check
from the government, Yudichak
said.
Its also an important success
story because were talking about
taking homegrown Pennsylvania
energy, that Marcellus Shaleplay,
and creating homegrown Penn-
sylvania jobs, he added.
The 12-inch pipeline crosses
three counties along its five-mile
run from the Humboldt Industri-
al Park in Hazleton to the Altadis
plant onTrescksowRoadinMcA-
doo. UGI has plans to extend the
line to supply other businesses in
the McAdoo Industrial Park.

And when old times we do recall,

Council members, who are
barred frominterfering with day-
to-day operations by the code, al-
ready have been heeding the gift
restriction.
For example, a county trans-
portation authority official re-
cently gave temporary bus passes
to council members at their
meetingtoencourage themtotry
the bus system. Several council
members gave their passes to a
Ruths Place homeless shelter
representative in the audience.
Council Chairman Jim Bobeck
also reminded his colleagues of
the ban, which he described as
the no free lunch provision,
when tax collectors invited coun-
cil to a dinner last month. Coun-
cil members should pay their
ownway if they wantedtoattend,
he said.
According to the code:
The county manager will des-
ignate someone to receive com-
plaints. The designee must date-
stamp complaints, acknowledge
receipt in writing, forward them
to the commission and notify the
accused.
Filers must provide their
name, address, phone number
andsignature, andidentify the al-
leged violator and code infrac-
tions.
If a complaint meets basic re-
quirements, the commission
must start a preliminary inquiry
within 30 days. The inquiry must
be terminated or opened as a full
investigation within 45 days.
Investigations should wrap up
within 60 days unless the com-
mission requests up to 60 more
days. The commission has the
power to conduct interviews and
issue subpoenas.
When evidence leans toward a
possible violation, the commis-
sion must issue a findings report
and allow the accused an oppor-
tunity to respond and admit or
deny the allegations.
The investigation subject may
request a hearing.
The commission recommends
penalties whenit concludes a vio-
lationhas occurred, ranging from
reprimand letters to fines. Em-
ployees may be suspended or dis-
missed.
Violations of federal or state
law must be turned over to the
proper authorities for criminal
prosecution.

Matt Cartwright
The attorney from Moosic, 50, vowed to be vocal if
elected to Congress in the 17th District this
November. Cartwright toppled 20-year incumbent U.S. Rep. Tim Holden,
D-St. Clair, in Tuesdays Democratic primary.
Voter doesnt understand
Dem opposition to ID law
S
ince the last presidential election, sev-
eral states, including Pennsylvania,
have enacted laws requiring voters to
show photo identification in order to vote.
Every Democratic state lawmaker in
Pennsylvania, along with three Repub-
licans, voted against this law. Other states,
including border states such as Texas, have
enacted such laws. In these states, too,
Democrats fight tooth and nail against it.
Even the attorney general in Washington is
trying to stop it.
The excuses they use, such as it being a
hardship for some people to get IDs, dont
add up. Pennsylvania voters can get free
IDs at drivers license centers.
I am a registered Independent voter. I
never have favored one party over the
other, but some of the things Ive seen
lately coming from the Democrats sure
have me wondering whats going on. I
would like to know how one party could be
so against photo IDs. Even if there were
some valid arguments against it, it would
not affect one party more than the other.

Writer: Apartment living
should include pets
I
can understand why landlords do not
want pets in apartments due to damage.
But with almost all the apartments I
have been finding to rent, a good 99 per-
cent will not allow pets.
And if they do, they charge an astrono-
mical price.
People who do locate to a place where
pets are not allowed then have to sell those
animals or take them to the SPCA. Animal
shelters are becoming overloaded with
pets.
This is not fair to people who are look-
ing for a new apartment or home to rent.
They should not have to give up that pet.
The pets are part of a family.
If the landlords would realize that peo-
ple need their pets with them and realize
that the astronomical prices are ridiculous
and work with the renters, then maybe
landlords and renters finally can come to a
happy medium.

APRIL IS Community Col-
lege Month, a time when
community colleges across
the country celebrate their
successes.
Luzerne County Commu-
nity College serves about
7,000 students each year, and there are many
success stories to highlight. One in partic-
ular is the Employment Retraining Opportu-
nities program.
Regional unemployment persists at a high
level of nearly 9.9 percent, according to
recent labor statistics. As a result, many
people in our community remain without
work. Some who lost their jobs due to the
economic downturn over the past few years
have not been able to find employment in
their same line of work. Sometimes the jobs
are scarce; other times theyve been com-
pletely eliminated. This situation leaves the
dislocated worker in need of the skills and
knowledge necessary to find gainful employ-
ment in a new field. Even when there are
jobs available, sometimes becoming unem-
ployed is the incentive one needs to inspire a
new career choice. Whatever the motivation,
the next step is obtaining the skills and
knowledge.
When these dislocated workers come to
Luzerne County Community College to
obtain the education and training they need
to venture out into their new careers, they
are able to choose from more than 100 credit
and credit-free training programs. If theyre
fortunate, they meet the standards for fi-
nancial aid or, for veterans, assistance
through military education benefits, and
subsequently receive financial support to
help pay for their education. Some, however,
are not so lucky. Many individuals do not
qualify for either financial aid or veterans
benefits.
Luzerne County Community College has
implemented a program to serve dislocated
workers and unemployed veterans returning
to school to help them get started on their
new career paths. Through the Employment
Retraining Opportunities program, those
who meet program criteria are eligible for up
to 12 credits of free tuition for one semester.
This program helps these students jump-
start their education and get on track to
achieve their career goals.
For example, a displaced worker enrolled
at LCCC through the Employment Retrain-
ing Opportunities program to get the educa-
tion she needed to fulfill her dream of be-
coming a teacher. She took education cours-
es at LCCC, went on to enroll in the acceler-
ated program for teaching credentials at
Kings College and is now employed as a
teacher in an area high school. Another
student who received assistance through the
retraining program graduated from the nurs-
ing program in May 2011 and is working at
an area hospital in the Commonwealth
Health System as a floor nurse.
These are only two examples of the 432
students Luzerne County Community Col-
lege has served over the last four years
through the Employment Retraining Oppor-
tunities program. And the number of success
stories continues to grow. Three quarters of
Employment Retraining Opportunities stu-
dents enrolled in fall 2011 returned for the
spring 2012 semester, and half of those en-
rolled in spring 2011 were still enrolled in
spring 2012.
The Employment Retraining Opportuni-
ties program is a perfect example of the type
of flexibility community colleges have to
respond to community need, an example of
the type of achievement community colleges
recognize during Community College
Month. Like our sister colleges across the
state, Luzerne County Community College
represents the community college philoso-
phy of ensuring access for all to higher edu-
cation.
We do so as we continue to meet our mis-
sion of providing excellence in education,
fostering student success and positively
impacting Luzerne County and the sur-
rounding Northeastern Pennsylvania region.

COMMENTARY
T H O M A S P . L E A R Y
A
H, SELECTIVE mem-
ory.
A recent guest on a
Philadelphia talk radio
program, Gov. TomCorbett told
a caller concerned about rising
school taxes he was barking up
the wrong tree. Its not the state
government the caller should be
talking to its the local school
boards, who offer sweet teacher
contracts, excessivelysmall class
sizes and basically poor manage-
ment.
The governor even had the
gall to mention the generous
pensions teachers receive.
Corbett urged taxpayers to ba-
sically go raise hell with their lo-
cal school boards. I think the
taxpayers need to help them-
selves, he said.
Speaking of helping them-
selves ...
Lets flash back to the state
Legislature inthe spring of 2001.
Lawmakers badly wanted a 50
percent pensionincrease of their
own, which would allow career
politicians to retire at almost full
pay. They added the teachers
and state workers to grease the
wheels, so to speak, giving them
a 25 percent increase in pension
benefits.
A deal was reportedly worked
out withformerGov. TomRidge:
He wouldnt veto the bill if the
lawmakers gave him the budget
he wanted. Everybody won.
Except taxpayers.
Ontheradioprogram, Corbett
complained teacher pension
costs will rise from$1.6billionto
more than $4 billion in the next
four years. He neglected to fully
explain why.
School boards which, along
with the state, are required to
contribute to the teachers pen-
sion fund didnt negotiate this
increase; they didnt ask for it or
even want it.
It was mandated on them. By
the state Legislature.
There are plenty of reasons
property taxes are so high and
rising, and school boards share
some of the blame.
But most people clearly re-
member one of the biggest, even
if the governor chooses toforget.
The York Dispatch
OTHER OPINION: SCHOOL CRISIS
Greedy legislators

T
INKERING around
the edges of Pennsyl-
vanias property as-
sessment fiasco isnt
going to solve the problem of
setting accurate valuations
that will be used to fairly levy
real estate taxes.
Unfortunately, the recom-
mendations released this
month after a state task force
spent six months
studying the status
quo wont accom-
plish much. The con-
clusion of its report
says, It became
clear that the issues
the task force was
working on were
complex and inter-
twined and that
members should
continue working to
further refine the solutions
and recommendations.
Well, duh.
Pennsylvanians, particularly
in Allegheny County, already
know that the assessment
process is not working. What
Pennsylvania needs is a uni-
form statewide system for up-
datingvaluations regularlyand
routinely in all 67 counties, not
only in communities where
residents have filed lawsuits
because of inequities. School
districts and municipalities
shouldnt be able to reap wind-
falls from reassessments. And
homeowners should be able to
understand how assessors ar-
rive at the figures they assign.
None of that is true today,
but the task force recommen-
dations would do little to ad-
vancethosegoals. Theymostly
are tweaks such as requiring
uniform training for people
who collect real estate data,
suggesting standards for coun-
ties to follow in
hiring firms to do
assessments and
methods for dis-
closing informa-
tionabout themto
the public.
The real prob-
lem with the task
force was that its
mission didnt go
to the heart of the
problem.
Pennsylvania is a policy
backwater compared to other
states. Just about everywhere
else, states handle property as-
sessments effectively, routine-
ly and without controversy.
If lawmakers in Harrisburg
want to give this issue more
than lip service, they need to
stop fiddling and enact a uni-
form remedy that doesnt set
up border wars between coun-
ties or require some citizens to
carry more than their share of
the property tax load.

hoped to offer rides for a fee.
Theyve since learned, its not
so easy.
The Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture, which regulates
carnival rides andamusements in
Pennsylvania, so far has not ap-
proved the original, trademarked
ZORB adventure globes, which
come from a New Zealand-based
company, or any copycat brands,
such as the one from China, said
Nicole Bucher, deputy press sec-
retary for the department.
The department did approve a
globe with a similar appearance,
known as the OGO ball, which is
in use at the Roundtop Resort in
York County, Bucher said. That
was a process that took a year or
more.
Roundtop built a special
course for the ball, to make sure
its not going to just roll away,
Bucher said, alluding to one con-
cern.
Other aspects of potential dan-
ger, she said, include germs in-
side the ball if its unsanitized, ox-
ygenlevels inside the ball and, for
someone like me whos claustro-
phobic, whats the game plan to
get them out if they start to pan-
ic.
Theres also a need for a certi-
fied engineer to determine if the
plastic is lead free, Bucher said.
Wendy Turcotte said shes ac-
tively seeking such a person.
But, already, Turcotte believes
the balls are safe. Id put my own
mother in there, and shes 65.
As a mother of twoherself, Tur-
cottesaid, sheappreciates theDe-
partment of Agricultures dili-
genceevenas it frustrates her. I
do appreciate it. That means
when my kids go to a bazaar or a
carnival, I know the rides they
might encounter there are safe.
Chris Turcotte is a hibachi chef
at Katana restaurant in Wilkes-
Barre, and Wendy Turcotte has
been a server there. They envi-
sion the inflatable balls as a nice
sideline business.
Our ultimate goal, Wendy
Turcotte said, is torent themout
for family reunions, graduation
parties and to businesses for
team-building.
The idea is not an unfamiliar
oneinLuzerneCounty, wherethe
idea of people riding adventure
globes down a chute is one of
many proposed activities in a
master planfor thecounty-owned
Moon Lake Park in Plymouth
Township.
While the Turcottes cant offer
rides for a fee unless or until the
stateapprovestheinflatableballs,
they will put up a display during
the Cherry Blossom Festival at
Kirby Park this weekend.
This happens from time to
time, whensomebody buys a ride
without realizing they need ap-
proval, Bucher said, sounding
sympathetic. Its an awfully big
investment to make.
If the balls receive approval,

dinator Lore Majikes saidthe city

his own money, plus raise anoth-
er $400,000. So Ive beentaking a
pretty goodpoundingonthe tele-
vision, Holden said about an
hour after polls closed, as Cart-
wright established a sizable lead
that Holden would never over-
come.
Holden was most critical of
The Campaign for Primary Ac-
countability, which spent
$194,000 on mostly anti-Holden
television ads.
Holden said four
Republican billio-
naires from Texas
decided they want-
ed to beat Democrat
incumbents and
misrepresented his
record.
Curtis Ellis,
spokesman for the
organization, said
Holden continually
mischaracterized
what the group is
and does and took pride in what
it was able to accomplish in the
17th District.
The Campaign for Primary
Accountability achieved its goal
of helping voters hold elected of-
ficials accountable through com-
petitive elections. (The group)
works to encourage informed
voter participation in competi-
tive primary elections, Ellis
said.
Though this was largely a
new district, Rep. Holden still
had all the benefits of incumben-
cy. Beltway lobbyists showered
their longtime friend with in-
sider money The Campaign
for Primary Accountability acted
as the equalizer, so voters were
able to learn the facts about
Holden and make an informed
decision, he said.
Holden also pointed a finger at
the League of Conservation Vot-
ers, which he said he worked
with to put a half-billion dollars
in the last farm bill for conserva-
tion in the Chesapeake Bay Wa-
tershed.
They dont like my voting re-
cord in supporting anthracite
mining, even though this town
youre inright nowis surrounded
by anthracite mines and 20 peo-
ple out there working (in the
mines) are my dear friends,
Holden told The Times Leader.
One of the earliest political ac-
tioncommittees to go after Hold-
en was Blue America PAC, which
spent $15,000 on billboards
throughout the district
portraying Holden as a
friend of the controver-
sial gas drilling tech-
nique known as frack-
ing.
That PAC was the
first national progres-
sive group to endorse
Cartwright for the new
17th District in Penn-
sylvania and our mem-
bers were thrilled to
contribute to the bill-
board campaign that
drew attention to his opponent
Tim Holdens conservative re-
cord. We knew that the voters of
this newly drawn district werent
going to be content with a Blue
Dog Democrat who voted like a
Republican if they knew what he
was all about, spokesman Ho-
wie Klein said in a statement.
Though he outraised Holden
in money fromindividual donors
within the district, political com-
mittees werent completely ab-
sent from the Cartwright cam-
paign donor list. He received
$8,200 in total from three such
groups: American Association
for Justice, Friends of Edd Bro-
minski andDemocracy for Amer-
ica. Holden raised nearly
$400,000 from PACs and politi-
cal committees since the start of
2011, more than $300,000 of that
since January.

because of simple geography.
Ed Mitchell, a strategist who
has worked on campaigns for for-
mer U.S. Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski
and Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leighton among others, said the
candidates place of residence
was a key factor.
Voters in the populous Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre region had to
choose between an out-of-town
incumbent with seniority in
Washington and the support of
the party and a newcomer with a
personal and professional con-
nection to their communities.
They chose the latter.
I think people didnt want to
lose their congressman, Mitch-
ell said, noting that for decades
someone from Lackawanna or
Luzerne counties had represent-
ed them, including Joseph
McDade, Frank Harrison, Dan
Flood, Kanjorski and Lou Barlet-
ta.
Under redrawn congressional
districts that placed Wilkes-
Barre andScrantoninto a district
represented by Holden, of St.
Clair, Schuylkill County, re-elect-
ing the incumbent would pro-
duce a sense of loss, Mitchell
said.
Cartwrights 78 percent of the
vote in Lackawanna County and
71 percent in Luzerne County
support this theory, Mitchell
said.
Other observers agreed that
parochialism may have played a
part in Holdens defeat by a
33,104 to 24,874 vote margin.
But it was not the only reason,
they said.
Dave Sosar, a Kings College
political science professor, be-
lieves Holdens Blue Dog Demo-
crat voting record and ideology
were inline withvoters inthe dis-
trict. But he thought Holden
needed to be more visible in
Lackawanna and Luzerne coun-
ties, whether by holding town
hall meetings, making more pub-
lic appearances or participating
in debates.
He blamed the campaign man-
agement team for the loss.
Jeff Brauer, a Keystone College
political science professor who
has workedoncampaigns inNew
York State, said Holdens cam-
paign was very poorly run for an
incumbent.
He did a terrible job introduc-
ing himself in Lackawanna and
Luzerne counties, Brauer said.
He thought the endorsements
would do it for him.
Those endorsements, which
totaled 60 and included mayors,
local political committees, legis-
lators and even former Gov. Ed
Rendell, might have done more
harm than good for Holden,
Brauer contends.
He said in a year in which anti-
incumbency sentiment among
voters is still high, the endorse-
ments made a case for what Cart-
wright argued: That Holden was
the choice of power brokers, not
the people.
Holden continuously touted
his position as the most senior
member of the Pennsylvania con-
gressional delegation and his se-
niority on two key House com-
mittees. But by talking about
length of service and power,
youre taking a great risk,
Brauer said.
That was a bad message in
this type of environment,
Brauer said.
Mitchell said that while it
wasnt the downfall of Kanjorski,
who lost to Barletta two years
ago, that mentality is entrenched
in longtime incumbents.
Holden made the same fatal
mistake that we couldnt break
Paul of. You cant expect people
were going to respond to the se-
niority thing like they did years
ago, Mitchell said. It doesnt
mean as much to people today.
These elections are more about
the future thanthey are about the
past.

cant vote for Stilp because he lives outside
the district, he will help as much as he can.
We doneeda congressmanwhowill work
for the people, and currently we dont have
that, he said.
Vinsko said he will return to his law prac-
tice and intends to spend a colossal amount
of time with his family.
Campaignsarewonandcampaignsarelost,
he said. Imhappy for the experience, and you
never knowwhat the future holds.
Christopher Borick, political science pro-
fessor at Muhlenberg College in Allentown,
said Stilps victory was a bit of a surprise.
It seems like (Vinskos) pull beyond Lu-
zerneCountywasminimal,Boricksaid. With
the really low turnout, it created a situation
where it was possible for a strong grassroots
campaign to succeed, thus advantaging Stilp.
Veteran political analyst Ed Mitchell said
Vinsko had a lackluster campaign and got
bad advice from his handlers.
He said Stilp has a tough road ahead in try-
ing to unseat Barletta.
For Stilp to win, he has to raise in excess
of a million dollars and use TV, Mitchell
said.
Name recognition factor
Tom Baldino, political science professor
at Wilkes University, said Stilps victory can
be attributedlargely tohis greater name rec-
ognition as a champion of good government
or government reform, a recognition he
earned over many years demonstrating
against the waste and corruption in Harris-
burg.
Despite spending a fraction of what Mr.
Vinsko did, Mr. Stilp relied on the publics
awareness of his pink pig as the symbol of
his accomplishments, Baldino said. It
clearly worked well for him.
BaldinosaidStilpwas helpedbyrunninga
cleancampaign, free of the negative ads that
marked many of the other campaigns this
primary season.
Mr. Stilp would not have had the money
to counterattack or to defend his reputation
had Mr. Vinsko gone negative, Baldino
said.
David Sosar, Kings College political sci-
ence professor, was not surprised by Stilps
victory.
Neither one spent a lot of money, but
Stilp has a bit more name recognition be-
cause of his pink pig bus, Sosar said. Stilp
has been visible around the state with his
bus and taking on a lot of state issues with
state legislators.

Wilkes-Barre assault probed
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
Wilkes-Barre police officer Robert Collins and others
officers responded to the Turkey Hill store on Carey Ave-
nue around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday for a reported assault.
A large knife was seized, but it was not used in the as-
sault, police said. The matter is under investigation.
SCRANTON Lackawanna
County officials released a new
economic impact study that
projects Triple-A baseball and a
reconstructed stadium will in-
fuse $9.4 million annually into
the regional economy and have
an estimated annual economic
impact of $47 million.
Triple-A baseball was esti-
mated at a $6.6 million infusion
and a $32.8 million impact an-
nually before the stadium re-
construction.
The reconstruction plan will
receive the go-aheadif the Lack-
awanna County Multi-Purpose
Stadium Authority votes, in an
8 a.m. meeting today, to ap-
prove the sale of the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees franchise
to SWB Yankees LLC.
Funds from the $14.6 million
sale are needed for the funding
of the $43 million reconstruct-
ion project.
DRL Consulting & Develop-
ment of Harrisburg created a
four-pagereport titledTriple-A
Baseball: An Important Eco-
nomic Engine for Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
Lackawanna County Chief Fi-
nancial Officer Thomas Durkin
presented highlights of the
study at a public hearing
Wednesday at the ScrantonCul-
tural Center about the sale and
stadium reconstruction.
We anticipate it will have a
significant enhancement on the
economic impact on Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania, he said.
Durkin said a multiplier of
five was used to determine ec-
onomic impact. Under that con-
cept, he said, one persons
spending becomes someone
elses income and some of the
second persons income is
spent, becoming a third per-
sons income, and so on.
The study showed the Tri-
ple-A franchise spends
$3,094,000 on the purchase of
local goods andservices annual-
ly and is expected to spend
$4,458,000 in the future.

thismuchtimeandthismucheffort if theydid
not want to be here.
Stadium architect Craig Schmitt, stadium
project construction manager Greg Butz,
county financial adviser Michael Vind and
county Chief Financial Officer Thomas Dur-
kin also gave information about the sale and
stadium reconstruction before the hearing
was opened to the public.
The largest share of the prepared state-
ments was taken up by Schmitt, who gave a
37-minute description of the stadium revi-
sions.
When members of the public had their
chance to ask questions, however, the biggest
concern was in how strong the contract lan-
guagewasintermsof makingtheYankeeslive
up to their promises and not move the fran-
chise out of the area in the future.
AttorneyJohnMcGee, theoriginal stadium
authority solicitor and the man credited with
leading the push to bring baseball to North-
eastern Pennsylvania in the 1980s, said the
county shouldhave triedtotake legal steps to
void the Memorandum of Understanding
from2010.
McGeesaidovernight isnot longenoughto
digest the complex contracts that were made
public before the hearing. He asked authority
members to review a Law Review article he
provided titled "Non-Relocation Agreements
in Major League Baseball: Comparison, Anal-
ysis and the Best Practice Clauses."
I urgeyoutoreadthesedocumentsandnot
act until they have been vetted, McGee said.
Attorney Gene Hickey of Moosic asked for
assurances and clarifications the stadium
would return to its original intent as a multi-
purpose facility and not just be for the Yan-
kees use. Countylawyers explainedsuchpro-
visions are included in the contract.
After 16 members of the public asked ques-
tions and made comments for just minutes
longerthantheoriginal presentation, stadium
authority member Joe DeAntona pledged his
vote in approval of the sale.
Stadiumauthoritymembers andtheLacka-
wanna Countycommissioners PatrickOMal-
ley, Jim Wansacz and Corey OBrien added
their comments just before the close of the
more than three-hour hearing.
I believethebest days of baseball inNorth-
eastern Pennsylvania are to come, OBrien
said.
McGee was the only speaker to refer to Lu-
zerneCountysclaimsitisentitledtoaportion

ne pitch after another kept hit-
ting the target with such preci-
sion and such frequency, area
baseball fans couldnt help but be
wowed.
It became Lackawanna Countys
version of a perfect game.
The reconfigured agreement to sell
this areas Triple-A baseball team isnt
ideal. And a few Lackawanna County
taxpayers took some good, hard
swings, trying to knock the offerings
from their county commissioners right
out of the park.
Even they had to marvel over a deal
that promises to be a big catch.
In an effort to seize opportunity, the
Lackawanna County Commissioners
will vote this morning to sell own-
ership rights of the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees to the New York Yan-
kees and their minor league business
partner Mandalay a joint venture
named Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees, Inc., for $14.6 million.
That became clear through their
tone Wednesday during a joint public
hearing of the Lackawanna County
commissioners and the Lackawanna
County Multipurpose Stadium Author-
ity held at the Scranton Cultural Cen-
ter.
But that decision isnt necessarily a
bad thing.
Because if nothing else, the hearing
should have calmed some fears about
minor league baseball fleeing North-
eastern Pennsylvania; Lackawanna
County taxpayers collapsing under the
cost of PNC Fields upcoming recon-
struction; and the atmosphere of indif-
ference fans complained about around
the park.
This deal is a very good one for the
fans of Lackawanna County, the citi-
zens of Lackawanna County, said
Steven Lebovitz, Lackawanna Countys
chief baseball negotiator. Im pleased
to be part of it.
Its a drastically revamped agreement
than the one the commissioners
worked up in 2010.
This one, Lebovitz said, gives the
commissioners an option to repurchase
the franchise should the Yankees ever
want to move their Triple-A affiliate
out of town.
They have to give us one years
notice if they want to relocate, Lebo-
vitz said. If they do try to relocate, we
have the ability to buy back the team
under very favorable financing that the
Yankees are going to provide.
We have significantly improved our
ability to keep the Yankees here.
Now they have to improve the stadi-
um.
And already, thats growing more
costly the estimated price tag of
reconstruction has already risen $3
million over the $40 million approxi-
mation of three years ago.
Not to worry, Lebovitz said. The
Yankees will pick up any over-run costs
of the project, will pay for the stadiums
upkeep and wont charge Lackawanna
County more than $15 million for stadi-
um repairs and the county wont begin
repaying those costs for 10 years.
They really want to be here, Lebo-
vitz said. They would not be putting
this much money, this much time, this
much effort into this if they didnt want
to be here.
But can they flourish here?

lously treated at PNC Field over the

PAWTUCKET, R.I. The Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees are makinga habit
out of winning in comeback fashion.
For the fifth time this season, the Yan-
kees rallied for a victory, the latest com-
ing on Wednesday afternoon at McCoy
Stadium in an 8-6 defeat of Pawtucket.
More than half of the
teams nine wins this
seasonhavebeencome-
from-behind.
On Wednesday, the
Yankees scored four
runs in the top of the
ninth, taking advantage
of three walks by Paw-
Sox pitcher Garrett
Mock. After the Yan-
kees loaded the bases
on a single and two free
passes with no outs,
Francisco Cervelli gave
SWB its first lead of the
game at 6-5 with a two-
run single.
With one out in the
inning, Steve Pearce hit
a sacrifice fly and Brandon Laird laced a
run-scoring single to put the teamahead
8-5. All the runs inthe frame were scored
off of Mock (0-1), who allowed his first
runs of the season in 7
2
3 innings.
Pawtucket loaded the bases in the bot-
tom of the ninth with no outs against
Yankees closer Kevin Whelan but could
only muster one run on a sacrifice fly.
Whelan left two runners stranded while
nailing down his fifth save of the season
with back-to-back punch-outs of Mauro
Gomez and Will Middlebrooks to end
the game.

Tonights first round of the NFL Draft has no intrigue at
the top. Stanford quarterback AndrewLuck will be heading
to Indianapolis with the first pick and Washington will se-
lect Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III with the second
selection.
The real suspense is where the third-rated quarterback,
Texas A&Ms Ryan Tannehill, is selected. Tannehill has the
physical traits desired in a franchise quarterback. He also
lacks experience at the position and has scary pockets of
inconsistency in his game.
So much so that hes been projected anywhere from Cle-
veland with the fourth overall pick to dropping to the top of
the second round. History doesnt help figure Tannehills
landing spot either.

H I G H S C H O O L T R A C K
Northwest, Tunkhannock squads both earn wins
The Times Leader staff
in Hershey.
We had chances and they had
chances, maybe there was a dif-
ference of a bounce here or
there, said winger Eric Tangra-
di, who had a goal and an assist
in his first game back from Pitts-
burgh. Thats how the playoffs
go. Were still confident.
After a pair of first period
goals, the Bears maintained their
first lead of the series until Tan-
gradi tied things up at 6:22 of the
third period.
After Kyle Greentree put the
Bears back ahead minutes later
with a one-timer from the slot
midway through the third peri-
od, Hershey was whistled for
two consecutive penalties in the
final 10 minutes.
Alex Grant made them pay
with a power-play slapshot goal
with less than four minutes re-
maining to tie things up at 3-3
and force overtime.
No one ever quits in the play-
offs, Penguins coach John
Hynes said.
Theyre working to keep their
season going, theres nothing to
save it for. For us there was no
back down because were trying
to get that third win.
Still, the Penguins track re-
cord in playoff overtimes hasnt
been a good one. Since 2006, the
Penguins are 0-6 when it comes
to overtime in the playoff, and
three of those losses have come
against Hershey.
Less than two minutes into
the overtime period, the Pen-
guins were dealt a blow when
Nick Petersen was called for an
apparent high-stick on Boyd
Kane.
Id have to look at the call to
see if it actually was a high stick
and if there was some contact,
Hynes said.
I think there might be some
question on that.
With the Bears on the power
play, Hershey maintained the
puck in the Penguins end and
fired two shots on goaltender
Brad Thiessen, who made the
initial saves.
Ryan Potulny collected the
puck at the corner of the net and
fired a bad angle shot that got
past Thiessen for the win.
While losing by a power-play
goal in overtime didnt sit well
with the Penguins, they werent
using the call as an excuse.
When youre in a playoff se-
ries you want it to be five-on-five,
a good hockey goal, Tangradi
said.
Thats just how it goes some-
times. If we were able to grind
through it I think we were going
to be really confident after the
kill. It just didnt happen that
way.
NOTES
D Brian Strait left Wednes-
days game in the second period
and didnt return.
Hynes didnt have an update
on his condition after the game.
The Penguins will remain in
Hershey today and practice at
the Giant Center.

WRIGHT TWP. In a clas-
sic pitchers duel, its only fitting
that one of the hurlers set the
table for the only run-scoring
play of the game.
Crestwoods Alyssa Davies did
just that, as her two-out double
in the fourth inning set the
stage for the only runs in the
Comets 2-0 victory over Ber-
wick in Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence softball Wednesday.
I went up there knowing that
if a ball was pitched in the mid-
dle of the plate, to just be ag-
gressive, Davies said of solving
Berwicks Margaret Bridge, who
had been perfect against the
first eight Crestwood batters.
Davies shot to center was the
first hit against Bridge. Center-
fielder Rachael Ritz followed
Davies and inflicted the only
damage the Comets (4-4) would
need.
Ritz fouled off a pair of pitch-
es in a battle of an at-bat before
lining a shot over Berwick out-
fielder Taylor Kern toward the
left-field line. Ritz easily round-
ed the bases, with courtesy
runner Summer Gavin scoring
ahead of her.
I just had the right stance,
and watched the ball all the way
in, Ritz said of her game-win-
ning hit. I was really just trying
to put the ball in play.
Both pitchers finished with
three-hitters and they teamed
for 13 strikeouts seven for
Davies in the win.
I came out aggressive, Da-
vies said. I knew I had my team
out there to back me up today.
Defensively, our team is great.
The Comets pitcher faced just
two batters over the minimum
thanks in part to two runners
getting thrown out trying to
steal second.
Those two throws, Comets
coach Bob Bertoni said of catch-
er Mary Kate Coulter. She
made two great throws.
Bridge faced just three over
the minimum for Berwick (4-3),
retiring the first eight she faced
as well as another stretch of six
straight between the third and
fifth innings.
She was quicker to the plate
than most pitchers in the area,
Ritz said of Bridge. And she
moves the ball around really
well.
The error-free game was
played at a brisk pace and fea-
tured a number of strong defen-
sive plays.
We just didnt hit well, Ber-
wick coach Brian Bridge said.
They got their hits at the right
time and we didnt.

Case in point Wednesdays
Pittston Area at GAR girls
soccer game. What looked like
a showdown between two
teams in the thick of the post-
season hunt was anything but
that.
With the traffic from In-
terstate 81 roaring below, Pitt-
ston Area roared to an un-
expected 7-0 victory in the
Wyoming Valley Conference
interdivisional matchup.
Freshman Allie Barber con-
tinued her impressive play for
Pittston Area, scoring four
times as the Patriots improved
to 5-3 in Division 2-A and
picked up some ground on
first-place North Pocono (5-
2-1). Two teams from the divi-
sion make the District 2 play-
offs.
I expected it was going to
be a good game, Pittston Area
coach Nicole Tieso said, but
our girls offensively really
showed up and finally clicked. I
think we found the proper
rotation and theyre working
together.
GAR fell to 6-3 in Division
2-B, remaining behind Wyom-
ing Area (7-1) and Tunkhan-
nock (6-2-1). Only one Division
2-B team makes districts.
Its definitely not what I
expected, said GAR coach
Stephanie Frank, whose team
was shut out for the first time
this season. We didnt come to
play. We didnt play our game.
Its disappointing.
The game within the game
was a matchup of two of the
best freshmen in the WVC
GARs Brea Seabrook, who
entered with a WVC-high 24
goals, and Barber, a slick ball-
handler who had found the net
11 times.
Barber got the best of the
matchup thanks in big part to
the Pittston Area defense.
Patriot fullbacks Megan Karu-
zie, Sarah Kosik, Katelyn Pu-
gliese and Mallory Yozwiak
constantly broke up what little
offense the Grenadiers were
able to generate.
They played phenomenal
back there, Tieso said. They
didnt give them many oppor-
tunities.
Pugliese kept tabs on Sea-
brook when the Patriots were
on the attack. When the action
switched the other way, mid-
fielder Liz Mikitish picked up
Seabrook. While Mikitish is
also instrumental on offense,
the task wasnt as daunting as
it could have been because of

way.
For the 10th consecutive year,
Kings held its annual Challenger
Division Baseball Game. The
game consisted of Monarchs
players hosting members of the
Wyoming Valley Chapter of the
Challenger Division, anorganiza-
tion established in 1989 as a sep-
arate division of Little League
that enables boys and girls with
physical and mental challenges
to enjoy the game of baseball.
Imvery proudof our players,
Greeley said. The game withthe
Challenger Division is the staple
of our community service. We
have between12and14events we
do every year and these kids are
great when it comes to getting in-
volved, but, I think the most im-
portant thingis that theyrelearn-
ingjust tohelpout others without
asking for anything in return.
Theyre learning a lot of life
lessons.
Between the amount of events
organized by Kings Extra In-
nings Club organized by Gree-
ley to focus on giving back to the
community and the effort given
by all those involved, the Mon-
archs were awardedthe Presiden-
tial Volunteer Service Award.
The Monarchs received the Gold
Level Award, presentedtogroups
performing more than 1,000
hours of community service over
a 12-month period.
The Kings baseball team per-
formed 1,604 hours of communi-
ty service from Sept. 1 through
March1, making for an ideal host
to such an event.
Were glad to do this every
year, it just makes our kids feel so
special, said Dave Howell, Presi-
dent of the Wyoming Valley
Chapter. Kings College has
been great to us and were very
thankful.
While the Monarchs that took
part in the game were certainly
glad to be involved there were a
fewthat couldnt deny the feeling
taken fromthe moment, whether
asked for or not.
The kids are such a blast to be
aroundandjust seeinghowmuch
fun they have its impossible not
to have any fun yourself, said
Chris Sweeney, a junior from

according to the draft pundits. A
fewhadhimgoingfirst overall to
San Francisco, who instead se-
lectedAlex Smith. He slidall the
way to 24th when Green Bay
grabbed him. Brady Quinn was
also considered a top-10 talent,
but fell to 22nd in the 2007 draft
where Cleveland selected him.
That doesnt mean Tannehill
will meet the same fate. Just a
year ago, Tennessee picked Jake
Locker eighth overall and Min-
nesota made the biggest shocker
of the first round by choosing
Christian Ponder four picks lat-
er.
Both quarterbacks were pro-
jected as late first-round or early
second-round selections.
The Internet is overflowing
with mock drafts, so heres an-
other. No trades are projected,
but expect a few.
1. Indianapolis Andrew
Luck, QB, Stanford
Colts go from one franchise
quarterback to potentially an-
other.
2. Washington (from St.
Louis) Robert Griffin III, QB,
Baylor
Redskins gaveupa lot tomove
upinhopes of solving their quar-
terback situation.
3. Minnesota Matt Kalil, T,
USC
Vikings need to rebuild a line
that allowed 49 sacks in 2011.
4. Cleveland Trent Richard-
son, RB, Alabama
Anemic offense gets a big
boost, although Claiborne could
be a surprise pick.
5. Tampa Bay Morris Clai-
borne, CB, LSU
Help for a secondary that sur-
rendered 30 TD passes last sea-
son.
6. St. Louis (from Washing-
ton) Justin Blackmon, WR,
Oklahoma State
His 121 receptions were eight
more than the Rams top-three
receivers combined in 2011.
7. Jacksonville Fletcher Cox,
DT, Mississippi
Cox makes sense, but the Jags
have a tendency to throw a cur-
veball in the first round.
8. Miami Melvin Ingram,
LB, South Carolina
A pass rusher makes more
sense than overhyped and over-
rated Tannehill.
9. Carolina Luke Kuechly,
LB, Boston College
The first of many defensive
picks for the Panthers should
come here.
10. Buffalo Riley Reiff, T, Io-
wa
Fills a big void and is the last
true left tackle prospect worthy
of the first round.
11. Kansas City Quinton Co-
ples, DE, North Carolina
The Chiefs have swung and
missed on first-round D-line-
men, so they try again.
12. Seattle Whitney Merci-
lus, LB/DE, Illinois
Nations sack leader should
help fill a big need for the Sea-
hawks somewhere.
13. Arizona David DeCastro,
G, Stanford
Avery safe pickwhocanshore
up a troublesome position for
the Cardinals.
14. Dallas Mark Barron, S,
Alabama
The Cowboys are desperate
for a safety and need to get the
best one in the draft.
15. Philadelphia Michael
Brockers, DT, LSU
The Eagles are solid across
the defensive front, but Brockers
is too good to pass on.
16. New York Jets Michael
Floyd, WR, Notre Dame
Signing a couple washed-up
vets last season showed how
desperately they needa receiver.
17. Cincinnati (fromOakland)
Dontari Poe, DT, Memphis
A star at the Combine whose
athletic ability hasnt resulted in
much production.
18. San Diego Stephon Gil-
more, CB, South Carolina
The entire cornerback group
produced just four interceptions
last season.
19. Chicago Kendall Wright,
WR, Baylor
Trading for Brandon Marshall
is only part of the solution to the
wide receiver problems.
20. Tennessee Dre Kirkpa-
trick, CB, Alabama
TheTitans needtofill thevoid
created when Cortland Finne-
gan left via free agency.
21. Cincinnati Jerel Worthy,
DT, Michigan State
A double dip after losing two
of their top defensive linemen to
free agency.
22. Cleveland(fromAtlanta)
RyanTannehill, QB, Texas A&M
With13 picks, the Browns can
trade up a few slots if Tannehill
slides like other QBs in the past.
23. Detroit JonathanMartin,
T, Stanford
Secondary help wont come at
this pick, but a solid, versatile of-
fensive line could.
24. Pittsburgh Cordy Glenn,
T, Georgia
The Steelers need some re-
tooling on both sides of the line
of scrimmage.
25. Denver Devon Still, DT,
Penn State
The Broncos look for a re-
placement for BrodrickBunkley,
who signed with the Saints.
26. Houston Donta Hight-
ower, LB, Alabama
Some see Hightower as a rush
end and the Texans can use one
after losing Mario Williams.
27. New England (from New
Orleans) Courtney Upshaw,
DE, Alabama
The Pats will find a spot for
Upshaw, who isnt quite a defen-
sive end or linebacker.
28. Green Bay Andre
Branch, DE, Clemson
A pass-rushing specialist for a
defense that had only 29 sacks
during last season.
29. Baltimore Peter Konz, C,
Wisconsin
Could start at guard and slide
over to center when Matt Birk
hangs it up.
30. SanFranciscoKevinZeit-
ler, G, Wisconsin
One of the most underrated
players in the draft can be
pluggedright into the starting li-
neup.
31. New England Harrison
Smith, S, Notre Dame
The Pats need a safety and the
talent in the draft drops signifi-
cantly after Smith.
32. New York Giants Doug
Martin, RB, Boise State
A runner for a backfield that
has lost one of its horses and has
another coming off an injury.

The first-place PawSox, who
saw their nine-game winning
streak end, opened a 5-0 lead af-
ter three innings against Yan-
kees starter Adam Warren.
Gomez hit his seventh home
run of the season in the bottom
of the first, a two-run shot for a
2-0 lead.
Then in the third, Pawtucket
scored three more runs on long-
balls when Pedro Ciriaco hit his
first of the season to lead off the
inning.
Middlebrooks ninth home
run of the season was a two-run
blast to give Pawtucket a 5-0
lead.
Jack Custs second home run
of the year for SWB was of the
three-run variety in the fourth
andtrimmedthe RedSoxleadto
5-3. Cervelli (3-for-4) added a
run-scoring hit in the fifth to cut
the deficit to 5-4.
Pearce went 1-for-4 for Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre to extend the
teams longest hitting streak of
the season to nine games.
Over that period, the first
baseman is hitting .500 (16-
for-32).
Warren only lasted five in-
nings, but relievers AdamMiller
and Chase Whitley (3-1) threw
three scoreless innings combin-
ing to allow just one hit to keep
the Yankees in the game.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre im-
proves to 9-9 on the season and
will try to get over the .500 mark
for the first time in 2012 tonight
in a home game against Lehigh
Valley in Allentown.

ATLANTA Asante Samuel
was willing to restructure his
contract to play for the Atlanta
Falcons.
I wantedtobe a Falcon, sowe
made it work, Samuel said.
The Falcons gave up only a
seventh-round draft pick
Wednesday when they acquired
the four-time Pro Bowl corner-
back from the Philadelphia Ea-
gles.
The Falcons announced the
trade after Samuel agreed to res-
tructure his contract to a three-
year, $18.5 million deal. His con-
tract withPhiladelphia calledfor
him to earn $9.9 million in 2012
and $11.4 million in 2013.
The Falcons were10-6last sea-
son and 13-3 in 2010, but lost
their first playoff game each sea-
son.
The Falcons already have an
excellent team and excellent
coaches and schemes and talent
and all that good stuff, Samuel
said in a telephone interview.
Im just going to add to the
bunch to get the one common
goal.
Samuel noted hes already had
a warm reception from Falcons
fans on his Twitter account.

WILKES-BARRE Robert
Moulton and Deedra Porfirio
ran to wins in the Wyoming
Valley Childrens Associations
2nd annual Run for the Kids
5K Run Wednesday at the River
Commons Millennium Circle.
Moulton, 29, of Mountain
Top, finished in 15 minutes and
52 seconds. He outran second-
place finisher, Jeff Skwierz, 29,
of Forty Fort, by 26 seconds.
Dan Pszeniczny, 43, of Benton,
finished third, 55 seconds be-
hind Skwierz.
I had some competition
guys pushing me, right up to
about a mile and a half into the
race, said Moulton, who is a
sophomore at Kings College,
where he runs track and cross
country. Thats when I began to
pull ahead a bit. At a couple of
the turnarounds, I could see
that they were still pretty close
to me. Then at the 2-mile mark-
er, I surged a bit and gradually
kept increasing my lead.
Moulton recently won the
3,000 meter run at the East
Stroudsburg University All
American Track Meet, compet-
ing against runners from 25
colleges from Divisions I, II and
III.
Porfirio, 35, from West Pitt-
ston, won the female division in
19:53. She outran second-place
finisher, Jill Matthews Lada, 32,
of Wilkes-Barre, by 52 seconds.
Lesley Warren, 24, of Kingston
finished third in 23:13..
I went out fast, said Porfirio.
I never look back, so I wasnt
sure just how far behind (Mat-
thews Lada) was. I just tried to
keep pace with some guys who
were running near me.
Matthews Lada said that she
had her in her sight until about
a mile and a half into the race.
After that, I lost sight of her,
Matthews Lada said.
Porfirio said that running on a
Wednesday night is a lot differ-
ent than running on a Saturday
morning.
Your legs are a lot fresher on
a weekend morning, she said.
In the middle of the week, Your
legs are just not as fresh.

Colorado Rockies 5-1 to split a
doubleheader.
Colorado broke up James
McDonalds no-hit bid in the
seventh inning of the opener
on its way to a 2-1 win.
Alvarez helped Pittsburghs
tepid offense tie a season high
in runs in the second game,
hitting a solo shot down the
right-field line off Jhoulys Cha-
cin (0-2) to cap a five-run fifth.
Nationals 7, Padres 2
SAN DIEGO Orlando
Hudson homered and the NL
East-leading Nationals beat
San Diego.
Reds 4, Giants 2
CINCINNATI Scott Ro-
lens homer started a four-run
rally in the seventh inning that
swept the Cincinnati Reds to a
win.
Astros 7, Brewers 5
MILWAUKEE Jose Altuve
had four hits, and J.D. Marti-
nez had three hits and three
RBIs to lead the Houston As-
tros over the Brewers.
Cardinals 5, Cubs 1
CHICAGO David Freese
homered and Lance Lynn
threw eight strong innings to
lead the St. Louis Cardinals
over the Chicago Cubs.
PHOENIX Giving up two
runs after six shutout innings
left Cole Hamels fuming
Wednesday.
When you give us some
runs you want to put up some
zeros right away, said Hamels,
who pitched eight strong in-
nings in the Philadelphia Phil-
lies 7-2 win over the Arizona
Diamondbacks. Thats what I
was able to do.
Hamels (3-1) gave up a lead-
off double to Willie Bloomquist
in the first then retired the
next 18 batters before giving up
two runs on three hits, a walk
and an error in the seventh.
In the seventh he got into
some trouble but he got out of
it, Phillies manager Charlie
Manuel said.
The left-hander allowed four
hits overall. He struck out
seven, including his final three
hitters.
When youre about to go
out there and just plug away,
have some quick at-bats, you
do get into a comfortable
rhythm, Hamels said. You
want to go out there and have
great inning after great in-
ning.
Hamels single capped a
five-run sixth inning. The Phil-
lies won consecutive games to
salvage a 5-5 record on their
now-completed road trip. Phi-
ladelphia also won its first road
series of the season.
Mets 5, Marlins 1
NEW YORK David
Wright hit a two-run homer to
become the Mets career RBIs
leader, R.A. Dickey outpitched
Mark Buehrle in a crafty duel
and New York beat the Miami
Marlins.
Wrights homer gave him 735
RBIs and broke a tie with Dar-
ryl Strawberry for the team
lead.

DETROIT Felix Hernan-
dez allowed only a run in seven
innings, rookie Alex Liddi hit a
two-run homer and the Seattle
Mariners went on to beat the
slumping Detroit Tigers 9-1
Wednesday night.
Hernandez (2-1) gave up a
solo homer to Brennan Boesch
in the third and not much else.
The right-hander yielded four
hits and three walks, giving all
of the free passes in the first.
Rangers 7, Yankees 3
ARLINGTON, Texas
Adrian Beltre hit a long home
run and had a pair of RBI sin-
gles as the Texas Rangers beat
the New York Yankees, win-
ning their sixth consecutive
series to start a season for the
first time in franchise history.
Mike Napoli and Mitch Mo-
reland also homered for the
two-time defending AL cham-
pion Rangers (15-4), who have
the best record in the majors.
The Yankees found out that
starter Michael Pineda will
miss the entire season without
pitching in a game because of a
tear in the labrum of his right
shoulder.
The Yankees said the right-
hander will have arthroscopic
surgery Tuesday in New York
and be out for about a year.
New York acquired Pineda
from Seattle, giving up top
prospect Jesus Montero to get
the 23-year-old All-Star.
Pineda felt weakness in his
shoulder during an extended
spring training game Saturday,
which came three weeks after
he had problems in a spring
training start. The tear was
discovered afterward.
Red Sox 7, Twins 6
MINNEAPOLIS Mike
Aviles homered and the Boston
Red Sox bullpen just barely
avoided another big collapse in
a victory over the Minnesota
Twins.
Alfredo Aceves struck out
Denard Span with the bases
loaded in the ninth inning for
his fourth save in six chances
as the Red Sox completed the
sweep.
Rays 3, Angels 2
TAMPA Jeremy Hellick-
son overcame early struggles
to pitch six effective innings
and Ben Zobrist homered.
Albert Pujols went 0 for 3,
including two strikeouts, ex-
tending his hitless streak to 19
at-bats. The Angels slugger has
not had a hit in five consec-
utive starts, which is the long-
est stretch in his big league
career, but did walk in the
eighth.
Royals 8, Indians 2
CLEVELAND Billy Butler
hit two of Kansas Citys four
home runs to help the Royals
snap a 12-game losing streak.
Orioles 3, Blue Jays 0
BALTIMORE Jason Ham-
mel pitched seven innings of
four-hit ball, Wilson Betemit
and Chris Davis homered.
Athletics 5, White Sox 4
OAKLAND, Calif. Kila
Kaaihue blooped a winning
single in the 14th inning soon
after Yoenis Cespedes tying
two-run homer, and the Oak-
land Athletics rallied past the
Chicago White Sox.

Once you see howmuch it af-
fects the community to be out
here, the award is secondary,
said junior Brian Mikus of Mal-
vern.
Sweeney and Mikus and the
rest of Monarchs squadspent the
afternoon helping the players
with their at bats, running the
bases, fielding, doing whatever
was needed to experience a
game of baseball. The Challen-
ger Division calls it a buddy
andit was easy to see that those
on the field felt that way about
the student athletes from
Kings.
Prior to the start of the game,
Ryan, a member of the Challen-
ger team, introduced himself to
as many members of Greeleys
squad as he could, each one of
them there to return his hand-
shake and smile, though none of
which were as big as Ryans.
Weve been doing this for six
years and hes always very excit-
ed about his chance to play base-
ball and get out on the field. He
just loves it. said Ryans mother
Beth, of Swoyersville. It gives
himso muchself-confidence and
pride to be out there.
CHALLENGER

five seasons New Yorks Triple-A
affiliate has played there is a
major reason theyve stayed
away mainly because of the
mismanagement of Mandalay.
That philosophy did not
work here, Lackawanna County
commissioner Corey OBrien
said of the indifference to fans.
What we stressed to them is
they need to have a new philoso-
phy and a new idea. Youre go-
ing to see give-aways and things
you have not seen here.
Some people in the audience
Wednesday suggested theyll
believe it when they see it.
Too good to be true? Well
find out.
But at least it looks like a
pretty impressive start.

with his backhander.
The building fell silent as the
Capitals celebrated just their
third postseason series win since
a run to the Stanley Cup finals in
1998.
Some fans littered the ice with
debris, but the Bruins waited for
the postgame handshake.
Thomas, bringing up the rear,
gave Holtby a taponthe shoulder
and said, Great job, kid.
No team has repeated as Stan-
ley Cup champions since the De-
troit Red Wings in 1997-98.
The Capitals earnedmore than
100 points in the previous three
seasons, leading the NHL with
121in 2010, but had little to show
for it once the postseason start-
ed.
They won just two series over
that span and have not made it
out of the Eastern Conference
semifinals since 1998, when they
made it to the Stanley Cup finals
but were swept by Detroit.
This years regular season
wasnt as successful.
But the playoffs have a chance
to be even better.
Entering the postseason as a
No. 7 seed, the Capitals won
three times in Boston they al-
so won Games 2 and 5 to earn
a berthinthe EasternConference
semifinals.
Their second-round opponent
wont be determined until after
Game 7s tonight betweenOttawa
and the New York Rangers, and
Florida and New Jersey.

MADRID Bastian Schwein-
steiger sent his penalty kick slic-
ing straight down the middle,
and then ripped off his shirt with
a roar of triumph.
NowayBayernMunichwas go-
ing to miss the big party at its
own house.
Bayern Munich became the
first team to advance to a Cham-
pions League final it is hosting
Wednesday night, beating Real
Madrid3-1onpenalty kicks when
Schweinsteiger converted the fi-
nal shot after SergioRamos skied
his over the crossbar.
When I think about the fact
that we canplaya final inour own
stadium, this is something to go
absolutely crazy about, Bayern
coach Jupp Heynckes said.
Go wild Bayern and its fans
did, stayingonthe fieldlongafter
Madrid coach Jose Mourinho
who watched the shootout from
his knees descended into the
tunnel. Madrids players left the
field with their heads hanging
low, and some were in tears after
coming so close to reaching their
first final in 10 years.
Its a big blow for us. It was a
very exciting game, but penalties
are always a lottery, Madrid
goalkeeper Iker Casillas said.
We played well, but Bayern are a
great team.
Bayern, a four-time champion
of European soccers top club
tournament, reached the final for
the second time in three seasons,
and will play Chelsea at Allianz
Arena on May 19. Chelsea elimi-
nated defending champion Bar-
celona on Tuesday.
We will be very much at home
in our own stadiumand will be in
front of a majority of German
supporters, but it wont be easy,
Heynckes said. Todayweproved
we are a great team. We showed
today we play very well at foot-
ball.
Following Bayerns 2-1 win in
Germanylast week, CristianoRo-
naldo looked to have put the
home side on its way to the final
with two early goals. He convert-
eda penalty kick inthe sixthmin-
ute after a cross by Angel Di Ma-
ria went off a hand of sliding de-
fender David Alaba. Ronaldo
doubled the lead in the14th from
inside the penalty area from a
pass by Mesut Oezil, his 56th
goal of the season.
But just like its Spanish rival
Barcelona the evening before,
Madridfaltered. Hungarianrefer-
ee Victor Kassai awarded Bayern
a penalty kick after Pepe pushed
Mario Gomez, and Arjen Robben
converted it in the 27th minute.
That evened the aggregate score
in the series 3-3, and also evened
the away goals 1-1.
The score stayed that way
through the second half and 30
minutes of overtime, forcing the
shootout, the first in the semifi-
nals since Liverpool defeated
Chelsea in 2007.
Trailing 2-0, everyone knows
the atmosphere here, everyone
knows how difficult it is to come
back from this score. But we im-
proved with each minute and
played organized in defense,
saidHeynckes, whowas Madrids
coach when it won the Cham-
pions League title in 1998.
In the shootout, Alaba beat Ca-
sillas with the first kick, and
Bayerns Manuel Neuer savedRo-
naldos shot. Coming in, Ronaldo
had converted 26 of 27 penalty
kicks for Real Madrid.
The only time he failed was
when Almerias Diego Alves
saved him in a Spanish league
match on Dec. 5, 2009, his first
season in Madrid. Ronaldo also
had a penalty saved by Chelseas
Petr Cechinthe 2008Champions
League final.
Gomez converted his kick for a
2-0 lead, and Neuer stopped Ka-
kas shot. Casillas thendeniedTo-
ni Kroos, Xabi Alonso scored for
Madrid, and Casillas stopped
Philipp Lahm.
Ramos sent his shot high over
the bar as if it were an NFL
field goal and Schweinsteiger
put his shot straight down the
middle as Casillas dived left, giv-
ing Bayern its fourth victory in
five semifinal meetings with Ma-
drid.
Its sounique toreachthe final
in Madrid, which is just about
Spanish champion over Barcelo-
na, Heynckes said. This makes
me very proud to have made it to
the final.
Madrid and Barcelona were
considered by many to be Eu-
ropes top two teams this year.
Ronaldo has scored a Spanish
league-record 42 goals, with Li-
onel Messi one behind him.
But neither will be playing for
the Champions League trophy. It
is the second straight year that
Madrid bowed out in the semifi-
nals.

Apple powers stock gains
The Nasdaq composite index shot 2
percent higher Wednesday, powered by
a surge in Apple. The iPhone makers
stock climbed $50 to $610 after the
company once again blew past Wall
Streets profit forecasts.
With Apples help, the technology-
focused Nasdaq posted its best day this
year.
The Nasdaq rose more than other
market indexes thanks to its heavy
weighting of Apple shares. The Stan-
dard & Poors 500 index includes Ap-
ple; the Dow Jones industrial average
doesnt.
The Dow gained 0.7 percent and the
S&P 500 index rose 1.4 percent. Apple
accounts for 4 percent of the S&P 500.
Coke eyes 2-for-1 stock split
The Coca-Cola Co. is seeking its first
stock split in 16 years.
The worlds biggest beverage maker
said Wednesday the 2-for-1 split is in
line with its plan to double revenue
over this decade. The Atlanta-based
companys stock began trading in 1919.
Since then, the stock has been split
only 10 other times.
If approved, Cokes split would in-
crease the number of its shares to 11.2
billion from 5.6 billion.
Shares of Coke closed up 81 cents
Wednesday at $74.93.
Durable goods orders fall
Orders for long-lasting factory goods
fell by the largest amount in three years
last month, mostly because demand for
commercial aircraft plummeted. But
companies also ordered less machinery
and other equipment, a sign manu-
facturing output may slow.
Excluding transportation equipment,
orders declined 1.1 percent. Thats the
second drop in that category in three
months.
India debt outlook lowered
Standard & Poors on Wednesday
said it lowered its outlook on Indias
long-term credit rating to negative
from stable, citing concerns over the
countrys economic growth and its
large fiscal deficit and debt.
The rating agency affirmed Indias
BBB- long-term and A-3 short-term
unsolicited sovereign credit ratings.
The rating agency said Indias fiscal
deficit and a heavy debt burden remain
the most significant constraints on its
sovereign rating outlook.

THE TIMES LEADER THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 2012

Digital Rights Man-
agement DRM has
long been the bane of
both pirates and pur-
chasers of books,
music and software.
What is it? Lets say
you buy a DRM protected e-book from
an online bookstore. You download it
onto your computer without a prob-
lem. But you want to move it onto your
iPad or laptop when you go on vaca-
tion.
You cant. The e-book is licensed
only for the first computer. You can
only read it there.
Sure, it seems inconvenient, but
thousands of people every day find
themselves in the same boat for
books, music, movies and video games.
In many cases, youre not buying a
copy of the item, youre buying a limit-
ed-rights license to it, and there are
limits to what you can do, how many
copies you can make and what devices
you can use to access what youve just
purchased.
Digital Rights Management ad-
vocates claim this is all done to protect
themselves from pirates, but some of
the measures they take are so stringent
that legitimate end users cant even
play the song they just legally pur-
chased, due to a quirk on their ma-
chine, or because they did something
as random as install a new DVD drive
or change the time on their device.
Even some producers of music,
games and books have begun to com-
plain about the copy protection, going
so far as to reject using distributors
who employ it.
Fortunately, some publishers are
beginning to realize the money they
spend on Digital Rights Management,
and the level of annoyance their cus-
tomers feel when they deal with it,
might not be worth it.
Tor/Forge, a well-known publisher
of science fiction and fantasy books,
announced recently it is pulling all
Digital Rights Management protection
from its e-books starting in July due to
repeated requests from both authors
and readers.
Several other e-book publishers have
dropped DRM or are in the process of
doing so, and publishers of video
games and music have begun to recon-
sider their own anti-piracy philoso-
phies.
Its easy to demonstrate that Digital
Rights Management has in many cases
done the exact opposite of what was
intended.
Annoying end users makes it much
more likely they will illegally download
an e-book or a song instead of purchas-
ing it. As a result, online piracy is flour-
ishing, and in many cases the pirated
version of a piece of software is more
readily available than the real deal.
Its taken some time, but publishers
are beginning to get it into their heads
pirates will always crack their copy
protection.
In the long run, making products
affordable and accessible is a much
better strategy.

HANOVER TWP. Sallie has been
around for 25 years and is better than
ever.
SLM Corp., known informally as Sal-
lie Mae, on Wednesday celebrated its
silver anniversary in Northeastern
Pennsylvania with speeches by execu-
tives and recognition of five employees
who have worked for the student loan
provider since it opened in 1987 in the
former Faith Shoe factory.
Chief Executive Albert Lord praised
the local workforce and the effort of lo-
cal officials to woo the firm here for its
first facility beyond its northern Virgin-
ia roots.
Sallie Mae was looking to grow;
Wilkes-Barre stoodout ina nationwide
search for the best location, Lord said.
The original office employed about
40 people and serviced 53,000 student
loan accounts, according to a company
fact sheet. Two years later ground was
broken for the current building in the
Hanover Industrial Estates that was lat-
er expanded and nowemploys 800 who
service millions of student borrowers.
Steve Barrouk arrived to lead the
Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber while
the new building was under construc-
tion. At the time it was the largest new
outside investment in the area, he said,
and Sallie Maes presence helped in
recruiting other financial service busi-
nesses.
Wed take people over to talk about
the quality of the work force and what
its like to be in the region, Barrouk
said. All those folks talked to the Sallie
Mae people before making a decision.
Sallie Mae went on to build similar
centers around the nation, but then
closed all of the others after the federal
government eliminated subsidies paid
to private lenders and banks that orig-
inated loans for college students in
2010.
Lord also praised the community ser-
vice work by Sallie Mae employees.

LONDON News Corp.
chairman Rupert Murdoch said
Wednesday that his globe-span-
ning TV and newspaper empire
doesnt carry as much political
sway as is often
believed, telling
a British inquiry
into media eth-
ics that he
wasnt thepower
behind the
throne often de-
picted by his
enemies.
Speaking softly, deliberately
and with dry humor, Murdoch
sought to deflate what he de-
scribed as myths about his busi-
ness, his agenda and his friend-
ships with those at the pinnacle
of British politics.
The 81-year-old media baron
denied ever calling in favors from
British leaders and dismissed the
oft-repeated claim that his top-
selling daily, The Sun, could
swing elections.
We dont have that sort of
power, he testified.
Murdoch was being quizzed
under oath before an inquiry run
by Lord Justice Brian Leveson,
who is examining the relation-
ship between British politicians
and the press, a key question
raisedbythe phone hackingscan-
dal that brought downMurdochs
News of the WorldtabloidinJuly.
Throughout the hearing, Mur-
doch attacked the idea that he
traded on his political influence,
callingit a complete myth. One I
want to put to bed once and for
all.

NEWYORKJeanne Thompsonbegan
going gray at 23. She colored her hair for
years as she worked her way into manage-
ment at a large Boston-area financial servic-
es company, then gave up the dye for good
about a year ago.
The earth didnt shake, and the 44-year-
old Thompson was promoted to top man-
agement the following year.
She is among a
new type of gray
panther, a woman
who aspires to do
well and get
ahead on the job
while happily
maintaining a full
head of gray.
Women put
pressure on them-
selves to color,
the Exeter, N.H.,
woman said. Its
a bold statement
tobegraybecause
its saying, You
know what? I did
let my hair go, but
Imnot lettingmy-
self go. People
takememoreseri-
ously now. I never
apologize for the
gray hair.
But not every-
one finds it so
easy.
Laws, of
course, exist to
ward off discrimi-
nation in the
workplace, yet le-
gions of men and
womenhave nointerest inlettingtheir gray
fly. Not now, when the struggling economy
has produced a stampede of hungry young
job-seekers.
But gray heads have been popping up on
runways and red carpets, on models and
young celebrities for months. Theres Lady
Gaga and Kelly Osbourne via dye and
Hollywood royalty like Helen Mirren, the
Oscar-winning British actress.
Christine Lagarde, the International
Monetary Fund chief, is one of the most
powerful women in the world, and she
keeps her hair gray. So does Essie Weingar-
ten, founder and now creative director of
the nail-polish company Essie Cosmetics.
For regular workingwomen, its a trickier
issue.
I dont thinkawomanintheworkplaceis
going to follow that trend, David Scher, a
civil-rights attorney in Washington, said

Is it OK
to go gray
at work?
By LEANNE ITALIE
Associated Press
Every fashionistas address
book contains the name of a great
tailor and a reliable cobbler. After
all, some alterations and repairs
are best left to the pros. But there
are loads of inexpensive, easy-to-
use and invaluable tools that can
be kept on hand for minor war-
drobeemergencies, touch-upsand
maintenance.
Even high-quality sweaters will
start to pill eventually, especially
under the arms and at the hem.
Sweaterstonescanhelpabit, but a
$10 sweater shaver is faster, more
effective and less likely to cause
snags. The best versions of these
little devices look like mens elec-
tric shavers, with a perforated
metal headthat guards fibers from
the whirring internal blades. Pills
are gently lifted, trimmed away
anddepositedintoalint catcher. A
quick pass with a sweater shaver
can make a pilly old sweater look
good as new.
Matching a shoe-polish color to
every pair you own is virtually im-
possible, and creams and treat-
ments can backfire. But an inex-
pensive oiled leather sponge can
work wonders on scuffed and fad-
ed shoes. These sponges are in-
jected with mild protective oils
that restore suppleness and shine
to most porous leathers. Theyre
surprisingly dry and mess-free
unlike smelly, goopy polishes
and can last for years if stored
properly.
Test an interior patch first to
make sure the oils wont drastical-
ly alter your shoes color, then
gently rub the sponge across any
worn areas. Shoes that have been
thoroughly damaged by water,
salt or dryness wont be saved, but

Nothing makes a button-front
shirt look crisp and newlike a thor-
ough pressing, but ironing takes
timeandacertainamount of skill. If
youre short on either, consider a
handheld steamer instead.
For $30 or less, youll get a porta-
ble device that works wonders on
wrinkled garments. In most cases,
youll fill asmall tankwithtapwater,
plug in the steamer, and wait while
the water boils. Once steam begins
to flow, slowly pass the steamer
across wrinkled surfaces from the
inside of the garment. Stubborn
wrinklesinwovensandtwill mayre-
quire an iron, but knits, jersey, wool
and cashmere will respond beauti-
fully.
Storage solutions
Tall bootsareafall andwinter sta-
ple, but keeping them in shape can
be challenging. Instead of purchas-
ing expensive boot shapers, try roll-
ing up old magazines and sliding
themintoboot shafts. Thiswill keep
all but themost slouchyof boots up-
right and crease-free. Wine bottles
work equally well, but can prove
hazardous if boots are stored on
high shelves.
Storing a large collection of
scarves can be tricky, especially be-
cause they vary in weight, size and
texture. If you have room inside
your closet door or on an interior
wall, try installing a towel rack.
Scarves canbe drapedover the rack
itself, oryoucanaddshowerringsto
the bar and insert multiple scarves
ineachring. Extremelydelicateand
valuable scarves should be kept
packed away, but casual ones will
fare well. This simple storage meth-
od keeps scarves visible, accessible
and relatively wrinkle-free.
On the go
Keeping wardrobe maintenance
tools at home is only helpful if you
havethetimeandforesight toexam-
ine your outfit before heading out
the door. Most wardrobe malfunc-
tions happenwhileyoureonthego,
and they are guaranteed day-ruin-
ers. Havingthetoolsonhandtodeal

block, double-sided fashion tape,
safety pins, a stain removal stick, a
mini bottle of clear nail polish, bob-

ers, blotting papers and tweezers,
but remember that the ideal emer-

with a laugh. I think women in
the workplace are highly pres-
sured to look young. If I were an
older working person, the last
thing I would do is go gray.
Yes, hes a dude, and at 44 he
hasvirtuallynosalt inhishair, but
he wasnt alone in issuing a warn-
ing against workplace gray for
women.
While the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act of 1967 was
created to protect employees 40
years of age and older, some men
and women may still encounter
ageism in the workplace, said
Stephanie Martinez Kluga, a
managerforInsperity, aSanAnto-
nio-based company that provides
human-resources services to
small and medium-size business-
es.
The long-standing perception
that men with gray hair are expe-
rienced and women with gray
hair are simply old may still be an
issue that affects employees in
workplaces across the U.S., she
said.
Some of todays new gray pan-
thers also offer strong words of
caution about exactly how well
those anti-discrimination laws
work.
Anne Kreamer is gray and
proud, but she didnt unleash the
color until she left her day job to
become self-employed. She dedi-
catesanentirechapterof her2007
book Going Gray to workplace
issues.
We only fool ourselves about
howyoungwelookwithour dyed
hair, said the Harvard-educated
Kreamer, a former Nickelodeon
executive who helped launch the
satirical magazine Spy before
writing the book exploring her
journey to silver.
When it comes to gray on the
job, Kreamer said, context
counts. The color might be easier
inacademiaover high-tech, for in-
stance, and in Minneapolis over
Los Angeles. Job description and
your rung on the ladder also
might beinplay: chief financial of-
ficer versus a lowlier, more cre-
ative and therefore more gray-tol-
erant positionlikeassistant talent
agent, for example.
Kreamerdubbedthelargelyun-
spoken phenomenon hair-col-
orism.
In 1950, 7 percent of women
dyed their hair, she said. Today,
its closer to 95 percent or more,
depending on geographic loca-
tion. In the 60s, easy, affordable
hair dye ina box hit store shelves,
changing the follicle landscape
for good.
When women were going to
work, it was like they could rein-
vent themselves and say, Im no
housefrauanymore. Hair dyegot
kind of linked in there, and we
never looked back, said Kream-
er, who went prematurely gray
and colored for 25 years. Its still
very complicated.
SandraRawline, 52, inHouston
knows howcomplicatedit canbe.
A trial is scheduled for June in
her federal lawsuit accusing her
bossat Capital Titleof Texasof or-
dering her to dye her gray hair in
2009, when her office moved to a
swankier part of town. The suit
accuses him of instructing her to
wear younger, fancier suits and
lots of jewelry, according to the
Houston Chronicle.
Rawline, an escrow officer and
branch manager, wouldnt com-
ment for this story. The newspa-
per said her superior called her
lawsuit preposterous.
The reason we know about
Rawline and Lagarde and Wein-
garten and Mirren and lets
throwin NBCUniversal exec Lau-
ren Zalaznick is that their gray
strands stand out against a sea of,
well, not gray.
Weingarten, 62, began going
gray at 18 andsaidshe coloredfor
years. She gave it up about 20
years ago.
Peoplewouldsay, Areyoucra-
zy? You have to color your hair,
she said. I had my own business.
I was an entrepreneur. I could do
whatever I wanted, but the truth
is I knowa lot of women who are
petrified to show gray hair be-
cause it means theyre maturing.
The new gray movement
doesnt keep tabs on member-
ship, but blogs like Terri Holleys
Going Gray are proliferating,
along with pro-gray Facebook fan
pages and Twitter feeds.
Society has boxed in women

ful, and this defies howwere sup-
posed to look, Holley said. Peo-
ple say, Im so glad I found you.
Im so glad were having this con-
versation.
Dana King, 53, started going
gray in her 20s, began dyeing in
her 30s and went to work for San
Franciscos KPIXin1997, risingto
news anchor. InJanuary2010, she
first approachedher general man-
ager, amanwhomshehadknown
for a decade, about her giving up
the dye.
He didnt like the idea at all
and he asked me not to do it,
King said. Soon after, she did it
anyway, with the comfort of a no-
cut contract good to May 2013.
It got downtothe point where
I was dyeing it every two to three
weeks. I just decided, Imnot do-
ing this anymore. I felt like I had
sold my soul and betrayed my-
self, she said.
After sharing her hair story on-
air, King was delugedwithemails
from viewers, including many
women who colored and some
who worried she had fallen ill.
The response was overwhelm-
ingly positive, King said. They
said it was a relief for them, that
they could see someone that
made it OKto be gray.
King knows her road to gray
wouldnt have gone so well had
she been a TV news star else-
where.
I work in a youth-oriented in-
dustry, and Im not an idiot, she
said. This is not Miami. This is
not Los Angeles. I would have
been fired had I worked in some
other markets. I cant get a job
anywhere else, I dont think. I
have no illusions about what Ive
done, and Imgood with that.

Foundation Academy Awards
viewing party in West Holly-
wood, Calif.
Its always very clean here and
smoke free, Vanderhoff said.
This park was actually a decid-
ingfactor inour movingtothis ar-
ea.
Vanderhoff lives across theway
on Front Street.
I wanted a place where we
could come on nice days and just
relax. DyannandIhavebeengood
friends, sohavingherandConnor
with us is a bonus.
Welsh lives on Orchard Street,
which also can be seen from the
park. Itsnot just WarriorRunresi-
dents who flock to the play place
though.
I actually have friends from
Nanticoke, Hanover and Wilkes-
Barre that will drive just to come
here, Vanderhoff said.
Itsnowonder. Theparkisfilled
with mostly new equipment that
provides fun for the smallest to
the biggest of children. Connor
and Jacob are partial to the two
slides in the park, one of which is
spiraled and the other thats a
much lower height.
Three large, colorful barrels at
the far end of the park provide a
drumming area for those so in-
clined, andchildrencanclimbup,
down and across a series of bars.
A firetruck-shaped jungle gym
sitsneartheparksentrance. Creat-
inganentireobstaclecourseispos-
sible, especially with the rickety
blue and yellowbridge that con-
tains individual blocks that shift as
weight is put on them or the blue
and yellow discs that jut from the
ground and tilt and shake when
touched. A two-sided rock wall is
available to scale.
Across the street is a piece of
the park that was separated in re-
cent years.
Awhile ago they made the de-
cision to separate the basketball
court by moving it across the
road, which is really nice, Welsh
said. It was a way to keep the big
kids and the little kids separate,
and it makes for a more comfort-
able environment. The kids can
do what they want without inter-
fering with each other.
Andof course, forthoseparents
looking to relax, a pavilionallows
onlookers a line of sight to every
single area of the fenced-in park.
We talk; they play; we dont
worry, Welsh said. Thats the
way it should be.

Its tough terrain for some wishing to tackle the rock wall.
This horse has been climbed on
plenty of times over the years.
Its the only original piece of

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Modern
Dad in Roswell, Ga.
(Feb. 26) was put off
that invitations to his
young daughters are
sent to his ex-wifes
home rather than
to both his and the
ex-wifes. He assumes the sender is
sexist and suggests the solution for
children with two households is to be
sent two invitations.
As a parent who invites children to
my home or to a party, I dont feel I
should be responsible for their par-
ents communication difficulty. Often
I am not even aware that a child has
two households. The invitation sim-
ply goes home with the child to wher-
ever he or she is that day.
Personally, I think Modern Dad is
overly sensitive. He needs to realize
that no one is deliberately snubbing
him or making assumptions about pa-
rental roles. They are just inviting his
kids to things, for which he should
be grateful. Did he share his address
with the inviter? Does he make his
preference clear to parents when
meeting them?
I believe its presumptuous to
expect someone to send two invita-
tions to the same child. And I agree
with you, Abby, that Dad needs
to improve communication with his
ex-wife so he no longer feels he is be-
ing prevented from being an active
parent.
Regular Mom in Tennessee
Dear Regular Mom: A majority of
readers agreed that more sharing of
information between the girls moth-
er and Dad will solve his problem.
Other parents comments:
Dear Abby: Friends, acquaintances
and professionals should not have to
go out of their way to cover all the
bases. Given the number of divorced,
remarried and otherwise situated
families, more than a single contact
point becomes burdensome for those
trying to complete business or issue
simple invitations.
My guess is, even though the girls
stay with Dad, he doesnt have rela-
tionships with most of their friends
parents. Unless he cultivates these
connections, it is improbable that he
will be added to the contact list.
Challenged, Too, in Severna
Park, Md.
Dear Abby: I know from organizing
school activities that often only one
parent supplies an email address to
the school, and its usually the mom.
If Modern Dads ex-wife would co-
operate by sending him a list of email
addresses of those most likely to is-
sue invites, he could send out a polite
message sharing his contact informa-
tion with those other parents. If he
reaches out to help arrange carpools
or organize social outings which is
usually a mom job hell become
an added member of the group.
Non-Sexist Mom in Illinois
Dear Abby: Our solution was to use
an online computer calendar for the
kids events. That way, regardless of
which parent gets the invite, it can
be posted on the calendar with the
appropriate details. (Privacy settings
can be set so the calendar is not view-
able to the general public.)

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are
savvy, thats for sure. But con-
sidering the opinions of another
person will make you even more
so. Even if you think you have
your plans nailed down, ask
around for different ideas.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your
family will have an impact on
your decision-making process
today. This is true whether or
not they are nearby. Your con-
nection bridges the gap of time
and space.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This is
the kind of day you prefer: Your
mood is upbeat; your activities
are offbeat. Youll march hap-
pily to a different drummer who
happens to be playing at a pretty
snappy tempo.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your
executive abilities will be high-
lighted. Though your decisions
affect many, you make them
without an ounce of stress or
worry. You trust yourself, and
thats the essence of confidence.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are
moving quickly now. Not one to
wait around in vain, you make
sure you have something to do
while others try to keep up with
you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Starting
too many projects at once is
a form of procrastination, as
it delays the completion of all
goals. Keep it simple. Finish
whats on your plate.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Knowledge on its own isnt worth
much unless you can put it to
good use. Today youll do some
planning to come up with the
exact action-steps that will take
you where you want to go.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
dont like it when others ques-
tion your judgments, systems,
strategies and decisions. But if
you have a good answer, youll
get to take credit.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It
is rare that you get long stretch-
es of peace. You have to make
the effort to keep the world
at bay by going where youre
unlikely to be distracted. If you
do this, youll love how you feel.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You and your business are
all wrapped together in one
package now. You know what
people get when they spend
time with you and/or buy what
youre selling.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Youre like a child trying to act
older than his or her years; you
want to grow quickly. But if you
try to do too much too fast,
youll only set yourself up for a
stressful experience.
