WHATS NEXT
All signs for job seekers in the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre region
point upward in an employment
report issued today by the state
Department of Labor and Indus-
trys Center for Workforce Infor-
mation &Analysis.
The unemployment rate fell in
March by three-tenths of a per-
centage point to the lowest level
since July 2009.
Jobs in the area that includes
Luzerne, Lackawanna and Wyom-
ing counties increased by 5,400
over the year, up 2 percent, out-
pacing a 0.8 percent statewide
gain.
More people were working and
fewer were unemployed, even as
the labor force grewby 4,900.
Marchs seasonally adjusted un-
employment rate in the three-
county region stood at 8.7 per-
cent. Thats thelowest ratesinceit
was 8.6 percent 32 months ago.
Anthony Liuzzo, director of the
master of business administration
programat WilkesUniversity, said
the direction is positive and
while hes not popping any cham-
pagne corks, he said the data has
plenty to celebrate.
Its a little better than I expect-
ed, Steven Zellers, an industry
and business analyst with the
state agency, said of the report
that contained almost across the
board positive news for the state
andeachof its14metropolitansta-
tistical areas. Still, even with the
local ratedip, at 8.7percent, thelo-
cal unemployment level remains
the highest in the state.
The regions positive job gains
and unemployment dips outper-
formed state and national averag-
es.
This report is promising and
indicates we are gaining
strength, saidDanaM. Harris, as-
sistant professor of business at
Keystone College. Also, of great
importance is that our unemploy-
ment rate dropped .3 percent
while our labor force added
jobs. This indicates an increase in
consumerconfidenceandemploy-
er confidence.
There were 261,600 people
working in the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre MSA this March, up 3,400
from February and 5,900 over the
year. That was the third largest
gain in jobs of any metro region
since February and when com-
pared to March 2011.
March was the first month this
year all three counties in the re-
gion had unemployment rates be-
The number of jobs in the
area increases well beyond
the state level.

WILKES-BARRE Luzerne
County District Attorney Stefa-
nie Salavantis has appealed a
county judges refusal to recuse
herself from two criminal trials
involving police officers who
had previously been sued by her
husband.
Within the past week, Judge
Lesa Gelb has twice refused a
prosecutors request to step
down from
criminal trials
in which the
arresting offi-
cers had been
sued by Gelbs
husband, at-
torney Barry
Dyller of
Wilkes-Barre.
Salavantis said Monday she
believes Gelb should not pre-
side over the trials, both of
which involve defendants
charged with drunken driving,
because Dyller had previously
secured monetary settlements
in two federal civil rights law-
suits he had filed against the of-
ficers involved in the arrests.
The issue has the potential to
create more conflicts because
Dyllers practice has focused on
civil rights violations, includ-
ing numerous lawsuits filed
against various police depart-
ments.
In an opinion issued April 23,
Gelb denied a recusal motion
that was filed in the criminal
case of Cecelia Moore of Nanti-
coke.
On Monday, Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Alexis Falvello
requested Gelb step down from
the trial of Joseph Polisky of Ed-
wardsville. The request elicited
an angry response from Gelb,
who accused Falvello of being
disrespectful and of failing to
uphold her duty as an officer of
the court.
Salavantis said Monday she
was surprised by Gelbs reac-
tion.
There is a standard we are to
uphold, Salavantis said. Its
our duty to ask for recusal.
Under the canons of judicial
ethics, a judge should recuse
himself or herself if the judge
feels he or she cannot fairly pre-
side over a trial or if circum-
DA upset, but judge remains on 2 cases

WILKES-BARRE With a key section of
Wilkes-Barre Boulevard being reduced to
two lanes this week, getting to the down-
town will become more challenging.
On Monday, the city and the state De-
partment of Transportation announced
Wilkes-Barre Boulevard will be reduced to
one lane in each direction through Thurs-
day evening from Scott Street to Market
Street as part of a milling/paving project.
And as part of the Brookside repair pro-
ject, North Washington Street between
Wilkes-Barre Boulevard and Brookside
Street will be closed for approximately
two weeks starting Wednesday.
In addition, traffic already is slowed by
work on other major arteries into the city:
Coal Street is undergoing a $12 mil-
lion major renovation/expansion.
The Pierce Street Bridge has been re-
duced to one lane each way.
The detour around the Sterling Hotel
on North River and West Market streets
remains, with no end in sight.
River Street will undergo a traffic-
calming project aimed at slowing the traf-
fic on the riverside roadway to improve
safety and access to the River Common
park.
With traffic problems come complaints
from motorists and business people. May-
or Tom Leighton is aware of the inconve-
niences.
No mayor wants to see traffic disrupt-
ed moving in and around his city, Leight-
on said. Every mayor wants to see con-
struction and improvements being made
within his citys borders that improve the
overall community. Sometimes those
mayoral desires conflict with one another
as a small measure of temporary inconve-
nience is necessary for the greater good.
Leighton said he has received com-
plaints on the conditions of Coal Street,
Wilkes-Barre Boulevard and the surface

Volunteers are lining up enter-
tainment and activities for the
River Commons fourth season,
including the addition of a drag-
on boat racing festival in Septem-
ber.
The Riverfront Parks Commit-
tee is now handling all event pro-
gramming and fundraising at the
park along the Susquehanna Riv-
er in downtown Wilkes-Barre.
Rivercommon.org, a group cre-
ated to handle those tasks, has
merged with the nonprofit com-
mittee and no longer employs a
River Common programming
and outreach director.
Vincent Cotrone, the commit-
tees volunteer director, said the
two groups shared similar mis-
sions and believed a single entity
would be more effective obtain-
ingfunding. Fundraisingis a chal-
lenge in the struggling economy,
and some potential sponsors
were confused about the purpose
of each group, he said.
Its a shame we dont have a
paid programming person any-
more, but were trying to do as
much as we can with the limited
support we have, Cotrone said,
crediting loyal volunteers.
Luzerne County relies heavily
on volunteers because it doesnt
have staff or funding dedicated to
River Common programming.
County officials also believe peo-
ple and businesses would be
more willing to donate to a non-
government organization.
The $23 million park includes
a750-seat amphitheater andriver
landing/fishing pier that seats
thousands.
The committee was formed in
1991 to focus on rehabilitation of
Nesbitt Park and the Kirby Park
Natural Area on the rivers west
side.

thority Executive Director Jim
competition and festival, said
Cotrone, an urban forester with
the Penn State Cooperative Ex-
tension.
The preliminary park schedule
also includes an environmental
education program, HydroMa-
nia, on July 21, an interactive
heavy equipment display geared
for childrencalledBigBoyToys
on Aug. 25 and Chalkfest on Oct.
6.
Concerts, yoga and a fishing
tournament also are planned.
Area residents interested in in-
formation on volunteering or
events may email the committee
at rivercommon@gmail.com or
visit http://riverfrontparks.org.
Brozena saidthe committee has a
long track record organizing
the popular Wyoming Valley Riv-
erFest celebration and Earth Day
activities.
This years RiverFest, held
June 22-24, again will include
dragon boat racing for major
event sponsors, Cotrone said.
Inquiries about dragon boats
prompted the committee to
schedule another racing festival
Sept. 8 and 9 that will be open to
any individuals and businesses,
he said. Interested groups must
round up 21 people and $2,000
per boat, he said.
Were hoping to grow it into a
full-blown dragon boat racing

Westbrooks committed a premeditated
murder in November 2010, prosecutors
chargedMonday.
He drove 20-year-old Alicia Weaver of
Hazleton to what prosecutors say was
supposed to be a pros-
titution job because
she owedhimmoney.
They ended up in a
woodedareanear Eck-
ley Miners Village,
Foster Township,
where Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney William
Finnegan said West-
brooks, 22, West Hazleton, shot Weaver
four times.
Hes guilty of first-degree murder,
Finnegansaidinhisopeningstatementin
the first day of Westbrooks trial on hom-
icide charges inWeavers death.
ALuzerneCountyjuryof eight women
and six men, including two alternates,
was chosenMondaymorningtohear the
case.
Finnegan, who is prosecuting the case
with fellow ADA Shannon Crake, pre-
sented his opening argument, followed
bydefenseattorneyJohnPike, whoisrep-
resenting Westbrooks, along with attor-
ney AllysonKacmarski.
Prosecutors will present testimony to-
day, Judge Tina Polachek Gartley said.
Several of those witnesses will testify,
Finnegan said, that Westbrooks and
Weaver had a heated argument earlier in
the day and Westbrooks said Weaver
owedhimmoney.
Finnegan said Westbrooks decided
that Weaver, who worked as a prostitute
for Westbrooks, would do a prostitution
job inorder to pay back that debt.
Those witnesses will also testify this
weekthattheysawWestbrookswithsome-
thing in his jacket when Westbrooks and
Weaver walkeddowna dirt road, andthen
Westbrooksreturnedalone, Finnegansaid.
Westbrooks later told three different
stories to investigators about his interac-
tionwithWeaver, includingthathewasin
Harrisburgduringtheallegedcrime, Fin-
negansaid.
Others included that he hadnt seen
Weaver for a number of weeks, but then
said he saw her the day before she died,
Finnegan said. The third story, Finnegan
said, alleges Westbrooks was there, but
didnt commit the killing.
And thats a theory, Pike said, jurors
shouldconsider.
PikesaidthreepeoplewerewithWeav-
er the night she was killed, including
Westbrooks andhis two friends.
All three of them came back except
(Weaver), Pike said. There are two
sides to every story.
Pike said forensically, any of the three
men could have committed the murder,
andthereisverylittledirectevidenceto
link Westbrooks.
Whatisbelievable?Pikeaskedjurors.
The defense attorneys also told jurors
not to let their emotions become in-
volved with the issue of race and gender,
being that Weaver is a white female and
Westbrooks a black male.
You are judging an event, Pike said.

HAZLETON A building that a com-
munity ralliedtosave fromdemolitionhas
beenawardedadesignationontheNation-
al Register of Historic Places.
Its something Ive been looking for-
ward to for a long time, said Tom Gabos,
president of the nonprofit Castle Fund
board of directors and one of two castle
keepers who kept the roof of the former
Hazleton High School patched and the in-
terior dry while it was vacant for six years.
When we first started out to save the
building from demolition, its one of the
things (the late Hazleton Historical Socie-
ty president) Jean Gormley really wanted
to have done, Gabos said of the designa-
tion. But just being busy trying to save it
from demolition, that was put aside for a
while. We had to save the building first.
Constructed in 1926, Hazleton High
School was the first million-dollar school
to be built in the Commonwealth of Penn-
sylvania, boasting oak doors, marble
floors and skylights.
Known locally as The Castle on the
Hill, because of its gothic style and for-
tress-like appearance, the building had
fallen into disrepair. The school board
deemed it beyond repair and unsafe for
students. Plans were made for demolition,
but the school board was met with loud
community opposition.
Gabos workedwiththe late Bobby Tom-
basco for six years to protect the building
from weather damage, but he said former
Hazleton mayor Michael Marsicano
played one of the biggest parts by refus-
ing to issue a demolition permit.
After enrollment began to grow again,
the school board hired architect Vern
McKissick in 2003 to design the renova-
tion of the school and it reopened in Janu-
ary 2007 as Hazleton Elementary-Middle
School. But the district had run out of
funding for the auditorium restoration.
Then school directors Elaine Maddon
Curry, Steve Hahn and Carmella Yenkev-
ich spearheaded a movement to turn the
unfinished auditorium into a community
arts center. TheCastleFundwas establish-
ed, the community came through with do-
nations and the refurbished auditorium
opened in 2011.
Curry, Castle Fund vice president, said
the board hired Gina Douty, a historical
preservation specialist, to apply for histor-
ic designation with the state Historical
and MuseumCommission in May 2010. A
few days ago, Douty learned it was ap-
provedby the commissionandthe Nation-
al Parks Service.
The building is now eligible for federal
and state funding, said commission pres-
ervation specialist Keith T. Heinrich.
KarenArnold, a commissiongrant man-
ager, said available funding is nowlimited
to brick-and-mortar work to help keep his-
toric buildings in repair and maintain
their historical integrity.
The Castle now historic

The former Hazleton High School, now Hazleton Elementary-Middle School, has been named to the National Register of His-
toric Places. The 86-year-old structure is known locally as The Castle on the Hill because of its fortresslike structure.
Once close to demolition, the old
Hazleton High School is placed on the
National Register.

Woman escapes abduction
A19-year-old woman told township
police she escaped an attempted ab-
duction by a man driving a red mini-
van on West Division Street on Sun-
day.
Police said the woman was walking
when she was approached by a black
male driving the vehicle at about 2:15
p.m. She said she ignored the mans
attempt to start a conversation.
The man got out of the vehicle,
approached the woman and grabbed
her hair, dragging her to his vehicle,
police said. The woman broke free and
ran away. The man got into the vehicle
and drove away.
Police described the man as being in
his 30s, about 6 feet 2 inches tall,
medium build, brown eyes, facial hair,
and wore a red hooded sweatshirt and
a black bandanna over the lower half
of his face. The vehicle is an early

Wilkes to hold voters rally
Wilkes Universitys Controlling
Spin class will host a Young Voters
Rally to encourage students and the
public, particularly those between the
ages 18-24, to vote in the upcoming
presidential election,
The Young Voters Rally is an oppor-
tunity for students, faculty, staff and

asm for the upcoming presidential
election and get motivated to cast
their vote. Voter registration forms
will be available courtesy of the
League of Women Voters.
The event will be today at noon on
Wilkes Universitys Greenway near the

Students in the Controlling Spin
class have been following the GOP
debates and campaigns while analyz-
ing the political spin of media content
throughout the spring semester.
The class has conducted various
focus groups and gathered data on the
political concerns of other students
while measuring just how much their
own generation knows about politics.

The Luzerne County Ethics Com-
mission finalized a complaint form
Monday that must be used to report
alleged violations of the new county
ethics code.
The commission agreed to require
filers to sign complaints before a no-
tary public to help ensure they are
not frivolous.
Filers must provide contact infor-
mation, the name of the accused and
the section of the code allegedly vio-
lated. The form also requests specific
information about the basis of the
complaint, including dates and the
names and contact information of po-
tential witnesses.
Complaint forms will be available
in the county managers office in the
courthouse basement or on the com-
mission section of the county web-
site, www.luzernecounty.org.
Anonymous complaints wont be
accepted because the home rule char-
ter and ethics code require filers to be
identified, though commission mem-
bers stressed the names of filers and
the accused will remain confidential.
The complaint form also stresses
direct contact with commission
members is prohibited because it
could compromise complaint proc-
essing or force the recusal of a com-
mission member.
Complaints will be accepted when
the code takes effect May 24. The
code wont retroactively cover al-
leged violations before that date.
Commission members agreed to
identify independent designees who
will hear complaints if they have a
conflict of interest.
Designees must agree to be on
standby for one year and cant be em-
ployed by their appointing commis-
sion member. The commission
agreed to identify designees ahead of
time so it wouldnt appear they were
shopping around for a more favorable
representative when faced with an ac-
cusation.

WILKES-BARRE Do Lu-
zerne County assistant dis-
trict attorneys have authority
to enter agreements at prelim-
inary hearings only to have
the agreement altered by the
district attorney or first assist-
ant district attorney?
That is a question Judge
William
Amesbury
wants to
know before
he rules on
the case in-
volving Mi-
chael Kozlos-
ki.
Kozloski,
28, was
charged by
Pittston
Township police on Jan. 6 af-
ter he was allegedly foundpar-
tially nude and carrying a
hunting rifle on East Oak
Street.
Police allege Kozloski fired
a round that passed into a pri-
vate residence used as the mu-
nicipal tax office.
The round struck a medi-
cine cabinet in a bathroom
and became lodged in a wall
with a person in an adjacent
room, according to the crimi-
nal complaint.
At a preliminary hearing on
Jan. 20 before District Judge
Diana Malast in Plains Town-
ship, Assistant District Attor-
ney Mark Makowski and Ko-
zloskis attorney Jonathan Ur-
siak reached an agreement
that involved the withdrawal
of four firearm offenses.
Kozloski, in turn, waived
charges of aggravated assault,
simple assault, reckless en-
dangerment and possession
instruments of crime to Lu-
zerne County Court.
The firearm offenses would
have played a role in sentenc-
ing, if convicted, due to Ko-
zloskis criminal convictions
of unrelated cases.
Shortly after the agreement
was reached at the prelimina-
ry hearing, the District Attor-
neys Office withdrewthe case
and refiled the criminal com-
plaint to include the firearm
offenses against Kozloski.
Ursiak and attorney Joseph
Yeager immediately filed a
motion requesting a judge to
compel the District Attorneys
Office to abide by the agree-
ment.
Makowski told Amesbury
on Monday that he did enter
an agreement to withdrawthe
firearm offenses against Ko-
zloski.

EXETER When a dejected Francesco
Stuppino emerged from the charred re-
mains of his sports bar after a walk-
through with the fire chief Monday after-
noon, he had a towel over his shoulder.
But hes refusing to throw it in.
Just as his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers
came from behind in the final quarter of
the Super Bowl a fewyears ago to best the
Arizona Cardinals, Stuppino and his fam-
ily are determined that Cuzs Susquehan-
na Avenue Bar &Grille will come back to
again be a place of camaraderie for area
Steelers fans totwirl their Terrible Towels
as they cheer touchdowns and tackles on
the TVs.
Exeter Fire Chief Richard McNeil said
his company was dispatched to the bar at
12:10 p.m. and found the kitchen side of
the bar fully involved. The fire was under
control within15 minutes of dispatch, but
the kitchen side of the bar sustained ex-
tensive fire damage and there was heavy
heat and smoke damage to the rest of it.
No one was in the building when the
fire started and it appears accidental; a
state police fire marshal is investigating,
said McNeil, who was a loyal customer.
They have great food. Ive known the
owner for 20 years. That makes it even
harder. Hes devastated, McNeil said.
Im a Steelers fan and its been a Steel-
ers bar and we lost it all. I lost everything
that I had, all my autographs. Its irre-
placeable, Stuppino said, his voice crack-
ing with emotion.
I dont know if youve ever been here,
but it was a shrine to the Steelers. Howdo
you replace it? I could rebuild, definitely,
but howdo youreplace it? Stuppino said.
Stuppino rattled off the names of ath-
letes whose autographed photos and jer-
seys hung on the walls. Former Steelers
Jerome Bettis, Jack Ham and Rod Wood-
son, Pittsburgh native/former San Fran-
cisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana, the

WILKES-BARRE Today is
Global Occupy day, a hoped-
for resurgence of last years ef-
forts to call attention to eco-
nomic disparity.
And while calls have gone out
for mass demonstrations in ci-
ties as far flung as Torontoand
Sydney, the Occupy Wilkes-
Barre movement will be in-
volved as
well.
Were go-
ing to meet on
Public Square
from 6:30 to 9
p.m., Karin
Spak said.
Were trying
to accommodate all the work-
ing people and students.
Organizers picked today as
Global Occupy day because
May 1 is traditionally consid-
ered International Worker Day.
According to news reports,
many activists are calling for or
planning disruption of busi-
ness, banking and other daily
routines, though plans for the
local event will be more sub-
dued.
Occupy is not organized, as
you know, Spak said. We dont
have any leaders, so they cant
come after our leaders, and we
dont have any agendas.
The group will have an edu-
cation box that people can use
to share pamphlets, and some
food and drink.
The Occupy movement start-
ed on Wall Street in New York
City as an attempt to draw at-
tention to the high amount of
wealth held by the top1percent
of the nations population, but
spread to numerous cities in the
United States and then to more
than 90 cities worldwide.
Its not just our country
where politicians cater to the
wealthy, Spak said.
Unlike Wall Street and many
other large city efforts that be-
came full-blown, 24/7 occupa-
tions of public space, Occupy
Wilkes-Barre did have a regular
presence until the weather turn-
ed too cold, Spak said.
We were waiting for spring,
and were hoping there will be
many people involved, she
said.

WILKES-BARRE On
Brookside Street, a telephone
pole shows seven high-water
markings left by flooding as
far back as 1936.
The higher marks came be-
fore the city built a levee
along the nearby creek. That
levee was severely damaged
during Septembers Tropical
Storm Lee. Sewer lines
backed up and added to rising
creek waters that flowed over
the levee wall.
Mayor Tom Leighton visit-
ed the heavily damaged neigh-
borhood Monday to announce
that flood recovery construc-
tion projects have com-
menced.
Almost nine months ago,
we stood here in the Brook-
side section of Wilkes-Barre to
deliver needed relief to the
residents in terms of food,
cleanup and other flooding as-
sistance in the wake of Trop-
ical Storm Lee, Leighton
said. In September, we came
to offer our recovery help. To-
day, we come to offer protec-
tion.
Repairs will take place in
two parts an overhaul of the
existing Weir Street pump sta-
tion system and excavation
and replacement of damaged
sections of the Brookside Lev-
ee itself.
The project was well-re-
ceived by residents of the
Brookside section. John Bara-
nas said the water reached his
first floor. He said the levee,
built after flooding in 1972
and 1975, offered residents
needed protection.
I hope its repaired, said
Mike Chudoba of Brookside
Street. I was 6 years old when
the 1936 flood hit. We need
that levee for protection.
The finished basements in
homes owned by Chudoba and
his nephew, Michael, each in-
curred severe damage. Mike
Chudoba said his damage was
in excess of $25,000.
He said he had four sump
pumps working, but they
couldnt keep up with the wa-
ter flowing into his basement.
As a part of the Brookside
repair project, North Washing-
ton Street between Wilkes-
Barre Boulevard and Brook-
side Street will be closed for
approximately two weeks
starting Wednesday. The clo-
sure is necessary to allow con-
struction crews proper access
to complete repairs. Future
announcements on flood re-
pair work are expected in the
city as contracts are bid and
awarded.
Leighton said the pump sta-
tion project was awarded to
Kriger Construction as the
lowest responsible bidder at
$96,850. The levee project
was awarded to Brdaric Exca-
vating, low bidder, at
$149,981.74. Both projects are
fully reimbursable and pre-ap-
proved by the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency
and Pennsylvania Emergency
Management Agency, Leight-
on said.
Leighton said the total cost
of Hurricane Irene and Trop-
ical Storm Lee to the city is $4
million in maintenance, man-
power, recovery and repair
costs.
He said all of the recovery
work has been authorized and
approved by FEMA and PEMA
for reimbursement and it will
not cost the city any general
fund money.
The mayor said nearly $1.2
million in flood recovery work
has been approved.

WILKES-BARRE Investiga-
tors want cell phone and text
message records from a woman
who formerly lived in a Hill
Street house closely linked to a
teens shooting death on April 5.
A search warrant was signed
MondaybyLuzerneCountyPres-
ident Judge Thomas F. Burke Jr.
for Sprint/Nextel Communica-
tions, Inc., seeking all transmis-
sions for a cell phone belonging
to Angelina DeAbreu.
DeAbreu lived at 117 Hill St.
with her son, Elijah Yusiff, who
claimed to hear the shooting of
Tyler Winstead, 14, on April 5.
Yusiff told reporters the night
Tyler was shot that he heard a
gunshot and saw a man driving
away in a red vehicle.
Tyler was found in the road
near the sidewalk with a gunshot
wound to his chest. He died at
Geisinger Wyoming Valley Med-
ical Center in Plains Township.
Tyler was said to be walking
home from the Catholic Youth
Center on South Washington
Street with Yusiff. Tyler lived
with his grandparents, Willie and
Carol Golden, his legal guardi-
ans, at 121 Hill St.
Since the shooting, investiga-
tors searched117 Hill St. on April
10 and April 13. A computer tow-
er and bleach were carried from
the house by investigators during
the second search.
Yusiff has not been seen since
the shooting and the family ap-
parently moved out shortly after-
ward.
Suspicions were raised when
three men, a womanandtwochil-
dren removed furniture, mirrors,
clothing and mattresses from117
Hill St. last Wednesday.
Neighbors said DeAbreu was
at the house helping to load a box
truck.
The search warrant issued
Monday seeks phone calls, text
messages, instant messages, pic-
tures, videos, emails and record-
ings to DeAbreus cell phone
fromApril 5 through the present.
It is the fifth search warrant in-
vestigators have obtained.
No charges have been filed in
Tylers death.

HARRISBURG
District against subpoena
A central Pennsylvania school dis-
trict on Monday asked the judge over-
seeing Jerry Sanduskys child sex-abuse
case to throw out a defense subpoena
seeking information that pertains to an
alleged victim of the former Penn State
assistant football coach.
The motion by Lock Haven-based
Keystone Central School District ar-
gued that the subpoena was not lawful
and asked Judge John Cleland to either
invalidate it or issue a protective order.
The dispute concerns the young man
described as Victim1 in court re-
cords. A grand jury report issued in
November said Victim1 had testified
that he was molested repeatedly, alle-
gations Sandusky has denied.
Sanduskys lawyers sent a subpoena
to the district superintendent seeking
numerous school records about the
man, including IQ test results, dis-
cipline records, grade reports, attend-
ance records and certain investigative
records, among other things.
On Friday, the state attorney gener-
als office said in a court filing that the
defense team was improperly issuing
subpoenas and using them for a fishing
expedition. Prosecutors also objected
to the defense including the names of
alleged victims on the subpoenas.
Earlier Monday, Cleland issued an
order giving Sanduskys lawyers until
Thursday morning to respond. The
judge said he would either rule based
on the record or schedule oral argu-
ment in the matter.
NEW YORK
Speeding cause of accident
A speeding driver clipped a highway
divider and damaged a tire before her
SUV plunged off a highway and into a
ravine on the grounds of the Bronx
Zoo, killing three generations of a
family, including three children, police
said Monday.
Maria Gonzalez was believed to have
been driving 68 mph in a 50 mph zone
when she bumped the concrete barrier
between the two directions of the high-
way and the left front tire went off
kilter. Police said she was likely going
with the flow of traffic on the Bronx
River Parkway, which is often faster.
The medical examiners office on
Monday ruled the deaths accidental.
Autopsies showed all seven died from
blunt force trauma. Police have said all
the occupants were wearing seatbelts.
HAMPTON, VA.
Leader: Pilots avoid F-22s
An Air Force leader says some F-22
Raptor pilots are asking to be moved
into other jobs because of a series of
oxygen-deficit problems aboard the
stealth fighter.
The nations F-22 fighter jets were
grounded for four months last year
after pilots complained about experi-
encing a lack of oxygen that can cause
dizziness and blackouts. Air Force
officials say they have taken steps to
mitigate the problem, but they still
havent pinpointed whats causing the
hypoxia-like symptoms. Hypoxia is
when the body doesnt receive enough
oxygen.
Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of
the Air Combat Command at Langley
Air Force Base in Hampton, Va., said a
small number of pilots have asked not
to fly the jets or to be reassigned.

HARRISBURG State lawmakers
on Monday returned to Harrisburg,
where they will spend the coming
weeks finalizing a budget and weighing
how to lessen Gov. Tom Corbetts pro-
posed spending cuts with money left
over from improving tax collections.
Top Republican lawmakers were
planning to attend a budget meeting at
the governors official residence on
Monday evening as they kicked off the
final two months of the spring legisla-
tive session and the states fiscal year af-
ter three weeks away for primary elec-
tions.
The goodnews was the states tax col-
lections in April were above the amount
projected by Corbett and could help
state government exceed the deficit
projection in his overall budget plan by
several hundred million dollars, legisla-
tive staff said.
But there is a long line of advocates
working against proposed programcuts
who are vying for lawmakers attention.
For instance, advocates for the poor
are protesting cuts that the state ex-
pects to tally about $320 million by
eliminating about $200 a month in cash
for temporarily unemployed and dis-
abled adults and by requiring them to
work 100 hours a month to maintain a
state-paid medical benefit.
Michael Froehlich, a staff lawyer for
Community Legal Services in Philadel-
phia, said eliminating the temporary
cash assistance for about 68,000 people
will ensure that some of themend up in
homeless shelters, which are also slated
to get a big cut instate aid. It also makes
little sense to require these same dis-
abled people to work100 hours a month
to maintain their medical benefit, he
said.
Hopefully we caneducate legislators
about this so they can see you cant just
overnight eliminate (the only source of
income for) somebody who is unable to
work ... and expect that you wont see
them turning to more expensive social
services, Froehlich said.
Schools, social services and nursing
homes are also in line for cuts under
Corbetts proposed budget.
Counties, which administer a wide
range of social services fromcare for the
mentally ill to the homeless to neglect-
ed and abused children, would have to
do so with 20 percent, or $168 million,
less.
Public schools would lose a $100 mil-
lion grant program, while Penn State,
Temple, Pitt andPennsylvanias14State
System of Higher Education universi-
ties would lose 25 percent, or $230 mil-
lion.
Nursing homes that treat the poor are
fighting a cut of 4 percent, or $46 mil-
lion, which actually would reach $102
million when the loss of federal Medi-
caid matching funds is included, an in-
dustry lobbying association said.
There are lots of smaller proposed
cuts that are getting attention, too. One
is Corbetts proposed elimination of the
$3.3 million school nutrition incentive
program that a nonprofit group of re-
tired military members named Mission:
Readiness wants restored to encourage
higher nutritional standards in schools
and combat rising youth obesity rates.
In February, Corbett proposed a hold-
the-line budget of $27.1 billion for the
fiscal year beginning July 1 and project-
ed a $719 million shortfall expected in
the current fiscal year.

AUSTIN, Texas A federal
judge on Monday stopped Texas
from preventing Planned Parent-
hood from getting state funds
throughthe Womens HealthPro-
gram, but the state immediately
appealed.
U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel
in Austin ruled there is sufficient
evidence that a law banning
Planned Parenthood from the
program is unconstitutional. He
imposed an injunction against
enforcing it until he can hear full
arguments. Texas Attorney Gen-
eral Greg Abbott appealed Yea-
kels decision to the 5th U.S. Cir-
cuit Court of Appeals, askingthat
it remove the injunction.
The lawpassed last year by the
Republican-controlled Legisla-
ture forbids state agencies from
providing funds to an organiza-
tion affiliated with abortion pro-
viders. Texas law already re-
quired that groups receiving fed-
eral or state funding be legally
and financially separate from
clinics that perform abortions.
Eight Planned Parenthood
clinics that do not provide abor-
tions sued over the new law. The
clinics say it unconstitutionally
restricts their freedom of speech
and association to qualify to take
part in state health programs.
The judge accepted Planned
Parenthoods argument that ban-
ning the organization from the
program would leave women
without access to clinics for basic
health services and check-ups.
The court is particularly influ-
enced by the potential for imme-
diate loss of access to necessary
medical services by several thou-
sand Texas women, Yeakel
wrote in his ruling. The record
before the court at this juncture
reflects uncertainty as to the con-
tinued viability of the Texas
Womens Health Program.
Texas officials have said that if
the state is forced to include
Planned Parenthood, they will
likely shut down the program
that serves basic health care and
contraception to 130,000 poor
women. Yeakel acknowledged
that was a risk.
The court observes that if the
federal funds are phasedout, Tex-
as does not provide another
source of funds, and the Womens
Health Program terminates, the
controversy nowbefore the court
may be of no consequence, he
wrote.
The Womens Health Program
was established to provide care
for poor women who would not
otherwise qualify for Medicaid. It
supplies cancer screenings, an-
nual exams, and access to birth
control.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama gave a steely defense of his hand-
ling of the raid that killed Osama bin La-
denandhis use of it toburnishhis re-elec-
tion credentials a year later, saying Mon-
day that it is appropriate to mark an anni-
versary that Republicans charge is being
turned into a campaign bumper sticker.
He then jumped at the chance to por-
tray presumed Republican presidential
challenger Mitt Romney as unprepared
to make the kind of hard call required to
send U.S. forces on that highly risky mis-
sion. Without mentioning Romney by
name, Obama recommended looking at
peoples previous statements on the man-
hunt for the 9/11 mastermind.
Obamas re-electionteamhas seizedon
a quote from Romney in 2007, when he
said it was not worth moving heaven and
earth to go after one person. On Monday,
Romney said he of course would have
ordered bin Laden killed, but his cam-
paign criticized Obama for turning the
successful death raid to political gain.
I assume that people meant what they
said when they said it, Obama said at a
White House news conference. Thats
beenat least my practice. I saidthat Idgo
after bin Laden if we had a clear shot at
him, and I did. If there are others who
have said one thing and now suggest
theyd do something else, then Id go
ahead and let them explain it.
Obama is using the May 2 anniversary
to help maximize a political narrative
that portrays him as bold and decisive.
Romney has sought to cast Obama as
weak and too quick to compromise on
other foreign policy matters, including
Irans nuclear ambitions.
Obama and his national security team
will be featured in an NBC prime-time
special Wednesday night that recon-
structs the operation from inside the
White House Situation Room.
Romney and his advisers suggested
Monday that the decision to order the
raid was an easy one.
Even Jimmy Carter would have given
that order, Romney said Monday follow-
ing a campaign appearance in New
Hampshire.
Romney probably meant that as a jabat
the Democratic record on foreign policy
generally, but invoking Carter may ac-
tually cloud Romneys message.
Carter demonstrated how dangerous
and politically perilous such decisions
canbe whenhe orderedanattempt tores-
cue American hostages held in Iran.
The1980missionendedwiththe death
of eight servicemen and the loss of sever-
al American helicopters. The hostage cri-
sis lasted more than a year and helped de-
ny Carter a second term.
A spokeswoman for Carter did not im-
mediately respond to a request for com-
ment.

of state power, twin suicide bombs ex-
ploded Monday near a government secu-

rockets struck the central bank inDamas-

that his force cannot solve the countrys
crisis alone and urged both sides to stop

The attacks are the latest in a series of
suicide bombings that started in Decem-

itary and intelligence positions.
The regime routinely blames the oppo-

group has claimed responsibility for pre-
vious attacks in Syria.
The powerful blasts, which blew two
craters in the ground and ripped the fa-
cade off a multistory building, came a day
after Maj. Gen. Robert Mood, the head of
the observer mission, took up his post in
Damascus.
Ten, 30, 300 or 1,000 observers will
not solve all problems, he told reporters
Monday. So everyone has to help us
achieve this mission.
More than 9,000 people have been
killed in the13-month crisis, according to
the U.N.
An April 12 cease-fire agreement has
helped reduce violence, but fighting per-
sists, and U.N. officials have singled out
the Syrian regime as the main aggressor.
Anadvanceteamof 16U.N. observers is
on the ground to try to salvage the truce,
which is part of a broader plan by special
envoy Kofi Annan to launch talks be-
tweenPresident Bashar Assadandhis op-
ponents. By mid-May, the teamis to grow
to 100, but U.N. officials have not said
when a full 300-member contingent is to
be deployed.

erncity of Idlib, anoppositionstronghold
that government troops recaptured in a
military offensive earlier this year. TV

POLICE BLOTTER
SANTA ANA, Calif. Nadya
Suleman known as Octo-
mom filedbankruptcy papers
on Monday here in federal court.
Sulemans debt could be as
much as $1 million 20 times
more than her net worth, accord-
ing to court documents. The
mother of 14 has up to $50,000 in
assets.
I have had to make some very
difficult decisions this year, and
filing Chapter 7 was one of
them, Suleman, 36, saidthrough
an email sent by her manager, Gi-
na Rodriguez. But I have to do
what is best for mychildren, andI
need a fresh start.
Under a Chapter 7 bankruptcy,
a court-appointed trustee will go
through and liquidate whatever
assets Suleman has that can be
used to pay off her creditors.
Debtors like Suleman typically
receive a discharge from most of
their debts in a Chapter 7 bank-
ruptcy case, according to the fed-
eral courts website.
The court will gothroughSule-
mans finances including her
debts and her current income
to make sure she is not abusing
the protections of a Chapter 7
bankruptcy.
Suleman gave birth to eight ba-
bies inJanuary 2009 after already
having six. All of the children
were conceived through fertility
treatments.

WASHINGTON The mili-
tary is under-reporting the num-
ber of times that Afghan soldiers
and police open fire on American
and other foreign troops.
The U.S.-led coalition routine-
ly reports each time an American
or foreign solider is killed by an
Afghaninuniform. But The Asso-
ciated Press has learned it does
not report insider attacks in
which the Afghan wounds or
misses his U.S. or alliedtarget.
It also doesnt report the wound-
ing of troops who were attacked
alongside those who were killed.
Such attacks reveal a level of
mistrust and ill will between the
U.S.-led coalition and its Afghan
counterparts in an increasingly
unpopular war. The U.S. and its
military partners are working
more closely with Afghan troops
in preparation for handing off se-
curity responsibility to them by
the end of 2014.
In recent weeks an Afghan sol-
dier opened fire on a group of
Americansoldiers but missedthe
group entirely. The Americans
quickly shot him to death. Not a
word about this was reported by
the International Security Assist-
ance Force, or ISAF, as the coali-
tionis formally known. It was dis-
closed to the AP by a U.S. official
who was granted anonymity in
order to give a fuller picture of
the insider problem.
ISAF also said nothing about
last weeks attack in which two
Afghan policemen in Kandahar
province fired on U.S. soldiers,
wounding two. Reporters
learnedof it fromAfghanofficials
and from U.S. officials in Wash-
ington. The two Afghan police-
men were shot to death by the
Americans present.
Just last Wednesday, an attack
that killed a U.S. Army special
forces soldier, Staff Sgt. Andrew
T. Brittonmihalo, 25, of Simi Val-
ley, Calif., also wounded three
other American soldiers. The
death was reported by ISAF as an
insider attack, but it made no
mention of the wounded or
that an Afghan civilian also was
killed.
The attacker was an Afghan
special forces soldier who
opened fire with a machine gun
at a base in Kandahar province.
He was killed by return fire.
That attack apparently was the
first by a member of the Afghan
special forces, who are more
closely vetted than conventional
Afghan forces and are often de-
scribed by American officials as
the most effective and reliable in
the Afghan military.
Coalition officials do not dis-
pute that such non-fatal attacks
happen, but they have not provid-
ed a full accounting.
The insider threat has existed
for years but has grown more
deadly. Last year there were 21fa-
tal attacks that killed 35 coalition
service members, according to
ISAF figures. That compares
with 11 fatal attacks and 20
deaths the previous year. In 2007
and 2008 there were a combined
total of four attacks and four
deaths.
ISAF has released brief de-
scriptions of each of the fatal at-
tacks for 2012 but says similar in-
formation for fatal attacks in 2011
is considered classified and
therefore cannot be released.
MarkJacobson, aninternation-
al affairs expert at the German
Marshall Fund in Washington
and a former deputy NATO se-
nior civilian representative in Af-
ghanistan, said attacks of all
types are cause for worry.
You have to build up trust
when working with partners, and
years of trust can be destroyed in
just a minute, Jacobson said. No
matter what the motivation of
the Afghan attacker, it threatens
the partnership.
Until now there has been little
public notice of non-fatal insider
attacks, even though they would
appear to reflect the same deadly
intent as that of Afghans who
manage to succeed in killing
their foreign partners.
Jamie Graybeal, an ISAF
spokesman in Kabul, disclosed
Monday in response to repeated
APrequests that in addition to10
fatal insider attacks so far this
year, there have been two others
that resulted in no deaths or in-
juries, plus one attack that result-
edinwounded, for a total of 13 at-
tacks. The three non-fatal attacks
had not previously been report-
ed.
Graybeal also disclosed that in
most of the10fatal attacks a num-
ber of other ISAF troops were
wounded. By policy, the fact that
the attacks resulted in wounded
as well as a fatality is not report-
ed, he said.
Asked to explain why non-fatal
insider attacks are not reported,
Graybeal said the coalition does
not disclose thembecause it does
not have consent from all coali-
tion governments to do so.
All releases must be consis-
tent with the national policies of
troop contributing nations,
Graybeal said.
Graybeal said a new review of
this years data showed that the
10 fatal attacks resulted in the
deaths of 19 ISAF service mem-
bers. His office had previously
said the death total was 18. Most
of those killedthis year have been
Americans but France, Britain
and other coalition member
countries also have suffered fatal-
ities.
Graybeal said each attack in
2012 and2011was anisolatedin-
cident and has its own underly-
ing circumstances and motives.
Just last May, however, anunclas-
sified internal ISAF study, called
ACrisis of Trust andCultural In-
compatibility, concluded, Such
fratricide-murder incidents are
no longer isolated; they reflect a
growing systemic threat. It said
many attacks stemmed from Af-
ghangrievances relatedtocultur-
al and other conflicts with U.S.
troops.
Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi,
spokesman for the Afghan De-
fense Ministry, said the army has
tightened its monitoring of sol-
diers activities recently and, in
some cases, taken action to stop
insider attacks.

Frank McCabe said even if an
agreement is reached with a de-
fendant at a preliminary hearing,
the agreement is open for review
by District Attorney Stefanie Sa-
lavantis and/or First Assistant
District Attorney Sam Sangue-
dolce.
A deal can be vetoed by the
district attorney, McCabe said.
Ive never seen an agreement
reached at that level (prelimina-
ry hearing) and subsequent
change in review, said Amesbu-
ry, who was a magisterial district
judge for 10 years before being
elected to the Court of Common
Pleas in 2009. I see problems
here.
If an assistant district attor-
ney doesnt have the authority,
why enter an agreement? Yeag-
er asked.
Amesbury is scheduled to
meet with Salavantis or Sangue-
dolce today before he renders a
decision about Kozloskis charg-

Salavantis did not return a
message for comment on Mon-

Nanticoke man charged
with machete terrorizing
WILKES-BARREAtempora-

was issued Monday against a
Forty Fort attorney who previ-
ously ran for Luzerne County
judge.
Judge Michael Vough issued
the order against attorney Mi-
chael Pendolphi of Shavertown
based on allegations made
against himby his wife, Sharon.
Pendolphi was one of 17 attor-
neys whoranfor aseat ontheLu-
zerne County bench in the May
2009 primary. He did not secure

publican or Democratic ballots.
The PFApetition filed by Sha-
ron Pendolphi claims Michael
Pendolphi has been verbally and
physicallyabusivetowardher for

and threaten-
ing her and
friends who
were with her.
She also
claims he has
physically as-

her that no one in Luzerne
County will touch me.
Contacted Monday, Michael
Pendolphi denied the allega-
tions. He noted the order signed
by Vough was a temporary order
based solely on his wifes word.
I adamantly deny all the alle-
gations against me. I look for-
ward to my day in court to exon-
erate myself and my name, Pen-
dolphi said.

Its wishful thinking to say

Hold youths responsible
for driving accidents
A
s parents, we are to make sure our kids
go to school, and if they dont, we get
fined or go to jail even if we didnt
allow them to miss those days. If our chil-
dren get community service, it is our job to
make sure they make it there or, again, we
go to jail.
But if our child gets in a vehicle accident
harming another person we can play
stupid and say we didnt give him or her
permission. We get away with being an
irresponsible parent, the child is allowed
the privilege of getting a license and the
charge that the child gets is a tap on the
wrist.
Well, from my experience, this will not
sit well. I think if a young driver gets in-
volved in any type of accident, minor or
major, while driving with or without a
permit, that childs privileges automatical-
ly should be flagged just as an adult driver
and the matter handled in the court sys-
tem, whether district or county court.
The system gets worked, and those
who suffer are the ones who lie in hospi-
tals without being able to say a word and
whose lives have been lost.
Im not exactly sure where I am headed
with this, but I know it is the start of some-
thing and I will need the support of my
friends in order for a change.

Kingston writer questions
demolition of park wall
I
reacted with complete dismay when I
learned that Kingston borough apparent-
ly demolished the cinderblock and con-
crete wall that used to stand in James S.
Keiper Memorial Park.
The park, more commonly known as
Hamilton Park, is a safe and quiet resi-
dential gathering place that offers a play-
ground, basketball courts, baseball fields,
tennis courts and a swimming pool. To
many people, however, the main appeal
the park had to offer was that wall.
By my estimation the structure was
approximately 20 feet wide and 20 feet
high. The white lines on the ground in-
dicate that its designed purpose was for
tennis practice. Park goers also used it for
a variety of activities, including as a back-
stop for Wiffle ball games and, most com-
monly, for handball.
Since this solid structure was safe and
did not present an eyesore, one must won-
der why the borough would destroy such a
popular attraction. Unfortunately, xeno-
phobia is the only logical reason that I can
deduce. You see, the vast majority of peo-
ple to enjoy this structure were of Hispanic
descent.
There were times when dozens of His-
panics would use the park to grill food,
play catch and shoot baskets. But the cen-
terpiece that brought them to the park was
that wall and the handball games that they
would play for hours at a time. Nearly
every summer day they would be there
from late afternoon until the parks close,
even longer on weekends. During these
times, I never noticed any vandalism,
violence or any other form of inappropri-
ate behavior. Only their ethnicity made
them stand out.

Education about, access to
healthier lunches needed
I
n response to the article Pricier lunches
could be on area schools September
menu (April 21):
Working in a school, I was shocked by
the school lunches that hardly resembled
food, even in an affluent town in Northern
California.
For the many children who participate in
free or reduced lunch programs, school
lunch might be their best opportunity to
eat a complete meal and to learn about
nutritious food; any measure to improve
that opportunity should be welcomed.
As a former teacher and current nursing
student, I can attest to the benefit of ade-
quate nourishment for children. I taught
many students who came to school hun-
gry, getting sugar cereal from the school or
snacks paid for out of teachers own pock-
ets, and who would go home to eat fast-
food or packaged snacks for dinner.
As parents know, it is certainly hard for
kids to focus while experiencing swinging
blood sugar levels, and I witnessed these
children having a harder time performing
academically, athletically and socially. In
addition, the long-term individual and
societal health care costs of poor nutrition
outweigh a slight increase in lunch prices.
If waste of good food is a concern, isnt
that just an indicator we need to improve
knowledge about affordable, healthy food
in tandem with improving access?

Council should respect
views of meeting speakers
R
epeated issues come up during Lu-
zerne County Council meetings and, in
time, seemingly become boring to
some council members.
But when a child or young adult express-
es an opinion, all respect should be shown
for their interest in communal endeavors.
At the April 10 council meeting, body
language and rolling eyes by a few mem-
bers denoted disinterest when a 16-year-
old boy and his mother had the courage to
speak about saving the Hotel Sterling in
Wilkes-Barre. This young man, with family
members and a support group, have dedi-
cated much time in the past two years,
protesting to save something in which they
believe: our historical sites.
My interest is in getting answers to
questions such as these: Who was the
beneficiary from the sale or auction of
antique fixtures from the hotel? For what,
and by whom, was the $6 million in tax-
payer funds spent by the faceless mem-
bers of CityVest, who never show up at
public meetings?
Who is going to take responsibility for
why this historical building was left to
decay, when a roof would have preserved
the interior? Why?

Reader hopes to help
nightmare sufferers
O
ne of the major symptoms of post-
traumatic stress disorder is night-
mares.
Dreaming is an inherent quality of the
mind. We all are susceptible to nightmares
to a certain degree. What amazes me is
that certain medications they use to treat
post-traumatic stress disorder cause night-
mares.
I suffered from nightmares for many
years, and it took me more than 50 to find
that there were many things that triggered
them, such as sugar, alcohol, prescription
medications, fermented foods, canned
foods (probably the preservatives), certain
fruits, certain spices, odors and anything
that was burned such as toast, pretzels,
fried meat, etc. I kept a record of what I
ate and drank. I then avoided anything I
found that triggered these nightmares.
I recently have suggested to many re-
search centers that the things I found con-
cerning nightmares could be applied to
research on post-traumatic stress disorder.
And it would seem to me that people who
are having nightmares associated with
post-traumatic stress disorder would great-
ly benefit.

T
HE Pennsylvania pri-
mary was generally a
quiet affair with a dis-
appointing turnout.
But the fewwhotrekkedtothe
polls got a dry run of the com-
pulsory voter ID law that will
come into play in November.
Voters were allowed to vote
last week without ID, but poll
workers were supposed to ask
for it anyway to get people
used to the idea. Everybody
must show ID from now on.
This is the underlying ab-
surdity of the new law, a Re-
publican-engineered fix to no
apparent problem. Because
the real motive seems to be to
discourage poor voters who
might not have ID a group
more likely to favor Demo-
crats the lawpassed the Leg-
islature only after rancorous
debate.
On Tuesday the initial re-
views were mixed some vot-
ers were content, others an-
noyed.
November will be the real
test of the law and the voters
patience.

WithGov. TomCor-
bett at the reins, it wont be long
before Pennsylvanias horse rac-
ing industry goes belly up, ac-
cording to critics of his latest
budget proposal. They say the
governors plan to strip $72 mil-
lion in state support to the
equine sport in the next fiscal
year, ontopof prior cuts, will re-
verse huge strides to reinvigor-
ate the Keystone States horse
tracks in recent years using rev-
enue from casinos
slots machines.
Horsebreeders and
others perturbed by
the development are
expected to testify
Wednesday before a
Senate Democratic
Policy Committee in
Harrisburg.
Regardless of whether youve
ever wagered on a pony or
worked at a track, this issue
should draw your interest be-
cause it exemplifies our state
lawmakers apparent inability
tocraft a strategy andthenstick
with it. (Or in other words,
theyre prone to switching
horses in mid-race.)
Around 2004, to advance
their pushfor the legalizationof
casinos inPennsylvania, certain
legislators dangled this carrot:
About 12 percent of gross tax
revenues from the gaming in-
dustry, which was expected to
siphon gamblers from the
states racetracks, would go to-
ward keeping those tracks in
business via incentives for
breeders suchas increasedpurs-
es.
It apparently worked; the
Keystone State witnessed a re-
surgence. Prizes grew (to the
delight of owners, trainers and
jockeys), jobs flourished and
people such as Lehman Town-
shipstable owner Steve Salerno
invested heavily. He devoted
about a half-million dollars to
his horse farm, according to a
February news article.
Right out of the gates, howev-
er, the Race Horse Develop-
ment Fundseemedripefor raid-
ing. First, the state redirected
$47millionper year toits gener-
al fund. Now, the governor
wants to skimanadditional $72
million to support agricultural
research and programs, includ-
ing county fairs.
The situation raises plenty of
questions, not the
least of which is
why Pennsylvania
propped up a tradi-
tionally rich per-
sons sport to the
tune of $250 mil-
lionor more a year.
The folly of that
decision became all the more
clear after the Great Recession,
which has left state and munici-
pal bodies scrambling to pay for
essentials such as keeping
schools operating.
And if tossing around money
for sport, why wouldnt the
state throwsupport to, say, box-
ing, or areal up-and-comer such
as jai alai? (No, wait; that last
tidbit was taken from an epi-
sode of Mad Men.) The point
is, if our state government pro-
nounces aplantobuoyanentire
industry, then steers hundreds
of millions of dollars to it,
shouldnt someone in govern-
ment at least explain why the
endeavor seemingly has ended?
After all, lawmakers wouldnt
spend millions of taxpayer dol-
lars promoting part of the state
to outdoor lovers as the Penn-
sylvania Wilds, then fill those
same woods with heavy trucks
and drilling rigs, right? (Oops.)
No wonder, as state tax-
payers, we always feel the odds
are against us.

Matin insisted those days are
gone and, in a commitment that
was not part of last weeks public
meetings about the stadium, said
the rebuilt stadium will honor
the history of which OBrien
spoke.
We look at it and see this as a
great marketing opportunity,
Matin said. Theres such a great
baseball history.
Were actually in the newball-
park going to build a heritage
wall that reflects all the way back
to the various teams that have
playedhere, highlightingsome of
the players and some of the spe-
cial events, he said.
All-time low attendance
Attendance reached its low
point in the 22-year history of In-
ternational League baseball in
the region during 2011, and the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
are spending the entire 2012 sea-
son on the road while borrowing
temporary home stadiums in six
other cities.
The view of the 2013 season,
however, involved nothing but
promise Monday.
This is a great day for Lacka-
wanna County because it marks
the beginning of the rebirth of
baseball in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania along with a continued
partnership with Mandalay Base-
ball and the New York Yankees,
Lackawanna County Commis-
sioner Jim Wansacz said.
Matin and New York Yankees
chief operating officer Lonn
Trost were among those who
joinedlocal officials for the event.
The parties worked through
lengthynegotiations torevise the
sales agreement for the team to
make it work as well as possible
for all parties involved. Trost said
this was done because it is some-
thing that is important to the citi-
zens, its important to the econo-
myandits important for theplay-
ers that we are going to bring
through our system.
We dont just want a place for
themtobeandaplacefor themto
play. We want them to be com-
fortable in an area.
The stadium lease commits
the New York Yankees to send
their top minor league players
those on the Triple-Alevel here
as they have since 2007.
After record attendance in the
teams debut here, the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees remained
successful on the field with three
more division titles in a row, but
ticket sales diminished and the
stadium needed an influx of cap-
ital for repairs.
Right from the beginning, we
had said, along with the Yankees
that we want to be here for the
long haul, Matin said. We just
signeda 30-year lease withsignif-
icant financial commitments ona
year-by-year basis.
Public input sought
Trost said the Yankees will
seek public input to see if the
team should keep the name Yan-
kees. If the public wants a
change, he said the public would
be polled a second time for sug-
gested names.
Matin said the search for the
next team president and general
manager is under way. He is
handling those responsibilities in
the interim, in place of Kristen
Rose, who has taken a new posi-
tion within Mandalay.
Conversations are going to be
about the experience at the ball-
park, howtheteamis doing, what
activities are we doing out in the
community to help kids? Matin
said. Its a different conversation
than, how does the deal stand?
Are you staying or are you go-
ing?
Demolition work has begun
and Matin said the commitment
is in place for the construction
crews to complete work by the
April 4, 2013 season opening
without anyneedtoaskthe Inter-
national League for schedule ad-
justments.

Bridge.
Within a matter of months,
through the work of city,
state, and federal officials, the
mayor said conditions on all
three roadways will be signif-
icantly improved.
These are signs of progress
in the community for busi-
nesses and homeowners, he
said. I ask for everyones pa-
tience and consideration as
these roadway projects are
completed.
James May, spokesman for
the state Department of
Transportation, said Penn-
DOT has always cooperated
with the city to get several
projects done.
Right now, the city is work-
ing on Coal Street as well as
Wilkes-Barre Boulevard, May
said. The city also informed
us of the need to place a de-
tour around the Hotel Ster-
ling, due to safety concerns.
According to Drew
McLaughlin, the barriers used
to redirect traffic around the
Sterling were rented fromPro-
tection Services of Harrisburg
with an office in Dunmore.
McLaughlin said the monthly
rental fee for the barriers is
$4,000 to $5,000 per month.
The Hotel Sterling detour
remains a constant concern,
but the detour is necessary to
protect the general welfare of
the public, Leighton said.
The city, the county, and all
of our community partners
recognize the immediate haz-
ard that the building poses
and the ripple effects that the
continued detour imposes on
the local economy.
Leighton said the city is
pursuing a resolution to the
problem and he hopes to re-
store normal traffic patterns
in the River Street corridor
and downtown business dis-
trict as soon as possible.
May said PennDOTis aware
that having multiple work ar-
eas in the same general area
may cause additional delays.
But we do our best to avoid
this scenario if at all possi-
ble, he said.

Itsreallygoodnewsonacouple
of fronts, Liuzzo said. Maybe
even more important are the num-
ber of people in the workforce and
the number of people getting jobs
havebothgoneup.
Pennsylvaniasseasonallyadjust-
ed unemployment rate dropped
one-tenth to 7.5 percent in March,
while the United States rate, also
down a tenth of a point, was at 8.2
percent. Locally, the unemploy-
ment ratehas droppedhalf of aper-
centage point since March 2011,
while the Pennsylvania and U.S.
rates were down four-tenths and
seven-tenths, respectively.
One thing Zellers noted as a big
positive is that the jobs data for the
local regionwerent buoyedby just
oneor twoemployment sectors.
Its pretty well every sector,
Zellers said.
Only three sectors saw jobs de-
cline month-to-month: hospital

cial assistance and local govern-
mentexcludingeducational servic-
es werebothdown100jobs.
According to the data, fromFeb-

changed. Only one, Williamsport,
saw unemployment rates tick up

Today is the first day
of a brand-new beginning for
baseball in Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
James Timlin, Lackawanna
County Multi-Purpose Stadium
Authority president
The stadium will impact our local
economy and pay great dividends
as we move forward to attract new
opportunities, businesses and
other ventures in the area.
Corey OBrien,
Lackawanna County commissioner
Its an exciting time for you
when you see a building
transformed into a magnif-
icent structure.
Lonn Trost, New York Yankees
chief operating officer
We are delighted to have completed our agreement with Lackawanna County
and we are excited about having our Triple-A team in northeastern Pennsylvania
for a long time to come.
Hal Steinbrenner, New York Yankees managing general partner
We believe that this venue will be among the finest field of dreams in
professional minor league baseball and an important jewel in Mandalays
professional sports assets and experiences.
Peter Guber, Mandalay Baseball Properties chairman
We have been at this a long time. I want to
commend the commissioners and stadium
authority for their persistence and their
commitment to getting this done.
Art Matin, Mandalay Baseball Properties
chief executive officer
We are excited about the stadiums
modifications as it will be the final stop
before the Bronx, and its important to
us that the facilities are top notch.
Being only a couple of hours from the
Bronx is the optimal location for our
team and I look forward to a great long-
term relationship.
Brian Cashman, New York Yankees
general manager
The negotiations were long and
thought out, but they were vital for the
proper evaluation of this project.
Patrick OMalley, Lackawanna County
commissioner
WHAT THEY SAID
stances of the case are such that
their impartiality may be reason-
ably questioned.
Salavantis said she believes these
cases fit that standard because
Gelb, through Dyller, realized a fi-
nancial gain through lawsuits he fil-
ed years ago against Newport
Township police officer Robert
Evans, the arresting officer in the
Moore case, and Kingston Police of-
ficer Jonathan Karasinski, the ar-
resting officer in the Polisky case.
Federal court records show Dyll-
er represented a woman who sued
Evans and others in 2008, alleging
she was falsely arrested. The case
settled in September 2009.
Dyller also represented a man
who, in 2002, sued Karasinski, who
then worked for the West Wyoming
Police Department, and six other
officers, alleging they used exces-
sive force in arresting him. That
case settled in August 2004. Kara-
sinski was voluntarily dismissed
from the suit before the settlement
was reached with the other officers,
however.
In the April 23 opinion involving
the Moore case, Gelb said she never
spoke to Dyller about the civil case
against Evans.
This judge was not aware of the
suit nor is she familiar with what
settlement, if any, may have been
reached, Gelb wrote. The case be-
fore this court is a criminal case,
unrelated to the federal case that
was settled long ago.
Salavantis said she has appealed
Gelbs rulings to the state Superior
Court. Two legal experts said they
believe Salavantis will have a tough
time overturning Gelbs decision.
John Burkoff, a law professor at
the University of Pittsburgh, said,
based on the information provided
by a reporter, it does not appear the
potential conflict cited by prosecu-
tors rises to the level that would re-
quire Gelb to recuse herself.
Judges have discretion to decide
whether to recuse themselves. The
only way an appellate court reviews
a judges decision is if he or she
abused his or her discretion, Bur-
koff said. My guess is this judge
thinks the connection between her
and this officer is too tenuous so
she decided to go ahead.
Robert Davis, former chief coun-
sel for the Disciplinary Board of the
State Supreme Court, said he also
thinks prosecutors face an uphill
battle.
There are certain direct disqual-
ifications. This is more indirect and
vague, Davis said.
GELB
Mark Brueners helmet is burnt, melted.
I had every high school in our Wyoming
Valley area they donated their helmets to
us, you know? Stuppino said. I just got a
picture autographed personally by Hall of
Fame quarterback Jim Kelly. They brought
it last week, I had it on the wall; it disinte-
grated.
Stuppino, the chef and manager, said his
daughter, Francesca Butcofski, his son, Joe,
and bar owner Maureen Noone made the
place successful with the help of loyal pa-
trons and Pittsburgh Steelers fans.
We poured our blood, sweat and tears in-
to this place, said Butcofski. Our patrons
are like our family. Hopefully we can build it
bigger andbetter. If theres anyfootball team
that has a commodity like a family, its the
Steelers and I know theyll come through
andhelpus rebuildthis place. We appreciate
the outpour of thoughts and prayers.
Stuppino said he has been receiving calls
and text messages from all over the coun-
try. I just got two awards from the Pitts-
burgh Steelers personally and fromthe NFL
for (having) the best Steelers fans.
Stuppino also was quick to thanks those
who did their best to save his bar.
These guys here, our emergency servic-
es, our ambulance service, our Exeter Fire
Department, Exeter police, all the other fire
departments in the area that helped out, I
want themguys getting credit for what they
did. Theyre the best, Stuppino said.
McNeil saidfire departments fromExeter
Township, Wyoming, Pittston, West Pitt-
ston and Hughestown assisted.
And while hes not a Steelers fan, McNeil
is glad his longtime friend is determined to
rebuild and reopen.
How about we make it a Redskins bar?
McNeil joked, trying to coax a chuckle from
his friend before leaving the fire scene.
Ill give you a corner, alright? Stuppino
quipped, managing a smile.

THE TIMES LEADER TUESDAY, MAY 1, 2012

T
he president and CEO of Manda-
lay Baseball Properties envisions
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/
Yankees playing in a sold-out stadium.
He sees kids running around wearing
caps given away that night on an open
concourse bubbling with baseball en-
thusiasm.
Anyone want to help him build that
dream?
Because if this rebuilding project is
going to work at PNC Field, it has to
start with the fans of Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
Art Matin knows that.
Now we have a truly shared vision
of what we want to do with this fran-
chise, said Matin, who along with
serving as Mandalays president is also
currently the acting president and
general manager of Scranton/Wilkes-
Barres Triple-A baseball franchise.
We want to be on the very short list
of top clubs in minor league baseball.
To get there, you need fans in the
stands.
And Matin said hes willing to listen
to them to attract them.
He said hell poll the public, and let
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre fans decide not
only if the Yankees nickname should
remain, but what name the team will
be named if it doesnt.
He talked about giveaways and pro-
motions and fireworks, to the point
that even casual fans will have some-
thing to excite them at the ballpark
every night.
Its going to be a more fan-friendly
experience, Lackawanna County com-
missioner Jim Wansacz promised.
And Matin indicated prices for ad-
mission would be comparable to what
fans at Lehigh Valleys highly-success-
ful Coca-Cola Park pay.
Matin said all of this during a
groundbreaking ceremony Monday to
celebrate the renovation of PNC Field
that is already underway.
Could it be a new way to thinking at
PNC Field?
Lets hope so. Because fans have seen
enough of the other way, where their
pleas for promotions and giveaway
items have gone ignored for years by
the partnership between the New York
Yankees and Manadalay.
People who come out to see the
Dayton Dragons have an amazingly
good time, Matin said, whether they
get a free key chain or not.
This isnt Dayton, Ohio.
And what worked there turned out to
be a dud here.
Mandalay finally realizes that.
While the companys Single-A team
was setting a minor league attendance
record with more than 13 seasons of
consecutive sellouts in Dayton, Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barres attendance sagged
toward the bottom of the International
League the last two years under the
same operating procedure.
This is this market. We need to
adjust the model, Matin said. If there
was one regret, its that we didnt react
quick enough to some of the feedback
we were getting.
Weve been listening to our fans.
What took him so long?
Well, theres an underlying feeling
that Mandalay wasnt about to drop a
dime into making PNC Field succeed
until it was rebuilt -- or built brand
new.
But Matin suggested the real reason
Mandalay didnt do a whole lot to add
fan flavor is because the company
couldnt.
We were always a little frustrated
we couldnt do the things we wanted to
do because you didnt have the (open)
concourse, Matin said.
They will when Scranton/Wilkes-
Barres Triple-A team returns to what
promises to be an amazingly refur-
bished PNC Field next year. Itll only
be filled when the fans start feeling
fulfilled.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton forward
Geoff Walker knows a lot about
playing hockey in Newfoundland.
A fellow Maritimer himself from
Prince Edward Island, Walker
played at The Rock when he was a
kid and later in juniors.
I love that place. It feels like
home, he said. I know that place
is going to be crazy.
And the way Walker sees it, that
should help the Penguins as much
as it does the hometown IceCaps.
Itsgoingtobeloud. I hearditsa
white out, standing roomonly, he
said. Theyre the home team, but
for us Maritime guys and everyone
in our room, its not only going to
give (the Icecaps) energy, its going
to give us energy as well.
The Penguins won both regular
season games they played in St.
Johns, while the Ice Caps took
both games in Wilkes-Barre for a
series split. TheIceCaps ledtheAt-
lantic Division with 94 points,
while the Penguins finished sec-
ond in the East with 95. St. Johns
scored 240 goals in the regular sea-
son, compared to 235 for the Pen-
guins. They allowed 216 goals
against while the Penguins gave up
215.
On paper both teams are pretty
similar, which could mean a series
of tight-checking games withlimit-
ed mistakes.
Theyre not going to beat them-
selves, and neither are we, said
Penguins center Cal OReilly.
Both of us are well-structured
teams.

Penguins center
Pens have tough test in semis
NEWPORTTWP. With the tying run
on third base for a second consecutive in-
ning, Berwick pitcher Margaret Bridge
had to face the one Nanticoke batter who
had hit the ball the farthest Monday.
Kate Kowalski had homered to center
in the fourth inning and hit the next pitch
she saw from Bridge for a single leading
off the sixth.
But in the bottom of the seventh, with
runners on second and third, Bridge
threw two quick strikes to Kowalski be-
fore fielding a one-hopper -- which she
threw to first baseman Cassondra Dia-
nese for the final out of
Berwicks 4-3 victory
over the Trojanettes.
Nanticoke is always a
really good team,
Bridge said. Hopefully
this shows we can beat
anybody we play,
though.
Bridge opened the seventh with her
fourth strikeout of the day before Kayley
Schinski crushed a ball to the right-cen-
ter field fence for a triple.
I was so mad, said Berwick (5-3) cen-
ter fielder Chelsea Pruitt, who made a
leaping stab for the towering shot near
the fence. I was so close to it but I
couldnt get it. Then I heard the clang,
and I was just happy it wasnt over the
fence.
Sammy Gowfollowed with her second
hit of the day, which Bridge knocked
down to keep the ball on the infield and
Schinski at third base. But Ange Hillan
popped out to catcher Sara Berlin for the
second out, bringing Kowalski to the
plate.
Nanticoke (9-1) also had its first two
batters reach on singles in the sixth in-
ning, only to see Bridge work out of trou-

off the first leg of a nine-day, 18-

Monday.
Joined Monday by head mens

ceived an en-

about 250
alumni, former players and sup-
porters who attended the lun-
cheon at the Doubletree Hotel.
The self-titled Coaches Cara-

next week, appearing at Penn
State Hazleton at 11:30 a.m. on
May 8, and at Genettis in Dick-
son City at 6:30 p.m. on May 10.
OBrien will be joined by fellow
coaches Coquese Washington
(womens basketball), Bob
Warming (mens soccer) and
Greg Nye (mens golf) in Hazle-
ton, and then Warming and Nye
in Dickson City.
Those wishing to attend can
register online at alum-
ni.psu.edu/events/coachescara-
van.
I know its a very special
place, OBrien said. What I try
to do every single day is go in
there with our staff and our play-
ers, and work extremely hard to
make sure that we carry on the
tradition of winning football
games and graduating players.
Its quite a task. After all,
OBrien replaced Joe Paterno,
who died in January at age 85.
And he was hired two months af-
ter the childsexual abuse scandal
that erupted following the arrest
of Jerry Sandusky. A retired de-
fensive coordinator, Sandusky
has proclaimed his innocence
while awaiting trial, which is
scheduled to start in June.
But OBrien is ready to move
the Lions forward in this ultra-
competitive landscape that is col-
lege football, while at the same
time, embrace Penn States age-
old tradition. Its a difficult recipe
to master, but hes intent on try-
ing.

WEST PITTSTON Even
though the roles were reversed
this time around at halftime,
thoughts still drifted back to that
March 27 matchup.
That was in the back of my
mind all game, Wyoming Area
coach Mike Sokolas said. I told
the girls at halftime to remember
what happened last game. Just
because youre up now, it doesnt
mean anything.
The Warriors took the advice
to move closer to the postseason
with a 5-2 victory over GAR in a
Wyoming Valley Conference Di-
vision2-Bgirls soccer game Mon-
day night.
Wyoming Ar-
ea (8-1) kept its
edge on Tunk-
hannock (7-2-1)
in the race for
the divisional ti-
tle and the divi-
sions onlyDistrict 2playoff berth
that goes with it. GAR (6-4 Div.
2-B) saw its chances to return to
the district tournament for the
first time since 2009 dealt a se-
vere setback.
That late-March game saw
GAR take a three-goal lead into
halftime, only to end up losing
Wyoming Area goalkeeper Jordan Chiavacci and
teammate Samantha Acacio celebrate their third
goal against GAR on Monday night in West Pittston.

da pitched seven neat innings
and teamed with catcher Rus-
sell Martin to nab Nick Marka-
kis at the plate in the key play
of the game, lifting the New
York Yankees over the Balti-
more Orioles 2-1 Monday
night.
Eric Chavez hit an early
two-run homer as the Yankees
beat Baltimore once again.
They are 4-0 against the
Orioles this year, 43-15 over the
Os since 2009 and have not
lost any of the last 14 season
series to them. The loss denied
Buck Showalter his 1,000th win
as a big league manager his
first victory came in1992 next
door at the old Yankee Stadi-
um. Baltimore lost for the
second time in eight games.
Rangers 4, Blue Jays 1
TORONTO Yu Darvish
won his third straight start,
Mitch Moreland and Craig
Gentry homered and the Texas
Rangers beat the Toronto Blue
Jays.
Darvish (4-0) allowed his
first home run but remained
unbeaten in five major league
starts. He gave up one run and
four hits in seven innings, walk-
ed two and struck out nine.
In winning his past three
starts, Darvish has allowed just
two earned runs over 21
2
3 in-
nings against Detroit, the New
York Yankees and Toronto. His
season ERA is 2.18.
Mike Adams worked the
eighth and Joe Nathan finished
for his sixth save in seven
chances. AL West-leading Tex-
as won for the 17th time in

for the second-most victories in
the seasons opening month.

Red Sox11, Athletics 6
BOSTON David Ortiz
finished the best April of his
career with a pair of solo home-
rs, Mike Aviles hit a three-run
shot and the Boston Red Sox
beat the Oakland Athletics.
Darnell McDonald had a
two-run homer and Marlon
Byrd drove in a pair of runs to
support a decent start by Clay
Buchholz, who held Oakland to
one run until he gave up five in
his last inning.
Ortiz hit .405 in April with
six homers and 20 RBIs. He hit
.543 in Fenway Park (19 for 35).
It was Bostons seventh win
in eight games, coming off a 6-1

three-run homer for Oakland,
which dropped its third
straight.
Rays 3, Mariners 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Elliot Johnson hit an RBI single
with one out in the 12th inning,
giving the Tampa Bay Rays a
comeback victory.
Playing before a crowd of just
9,458 smallest at Tropicana
Field since September 2007
the Rays twice rallied from
one-run deficits before winning
it against Brandon League
(0-2), who failed to hold a 2-1
lead the Mariners took on
Jesus Monteros homer in the
11th.

the Chicago Cubs on Monday
night.
Bryan LaHair hit a tying,
two-run homer off Chad Qualls

gle in the eighth inning to

The game was tied 3-all
when Jordan Schafer reached
on an infield single to start the
eighth. He stole second with
one out and scored on the hit
by Lowrie, which reliever
Manny Acosta (0-2) deflected
into the outfield.
Schafer finished with two
hits and scored two runs.

STANDINGS/STATS
DETROIT Delmon Young
was suspended by Major League
Baseball onMondayforsevendays
without payfollowinghisarrest on
a hate crime harassment charge
last week in NewYork.
The commissioners office said
thesuspensionisretroactivetoFri-
day, when Young was arrested af-
ter a late-night tussle at his hotel
during which police say he yelled
anti-Semitic epithets.
Those associated with our
game shouldmeet the responsibil-
ities and standards that stemfrom
our games stature as a social insti-
tution, Commissioner Bud Selig
said in a statement. An incident
like this cannot and will not be tol-
erated. I understand that Mr.
Young is regret-
ful, and it is my
expectationthat
he will learn
from this unfor-
tunate episode.
The state-
ment from the
commissioners
office also said that Young would
berequiredtoparticipateinatreat-
ment program.
Young is eligible for reinstate-
ment from the restricted list May
4.
The suspension will cost Young
approximately $257,240 of his
$6,725,000 salary.
Speaking before the Tigers
game against the Kansas City Roy-
als was postponed by rain, Detroit
general manager Dave Dombrow-
ski said Young will not appeal the
ruling and that he will not face ad-
ditional discipline by the team
when he comes off the restricted
list Friday.
Under the (collective bargain-
ing agreement), theres no dual
discipline, he said. Hell be acti-
vated and ready to play on Friday.
If hes not inthelineup, that will be
the managers decision. Hes been
working out over the weekend,
andtook batting practice today, so
hell be physically ready on Fri-
day.
Around 2:30 a.m. Friday, Young
was standing outside the teamho-
tel inNewYork. Nearby, a groupof
about four Chicago tourists stay-
ing at the hotel were approached
by a panhandler wearing a yar-
mulke and a Star of David around
his neck, according to police.
Afterward, as the group walked
up to the hotel doors, Young start-
ed yelling anti-Semitic epithets,
police said.
It was not clear whom Young
was yelling at, but he got into a
scuffle with the Chicago group,
and a 32-year-old man was tackled
and sustained scratches to his el-
bows, according to police and the
criminal complaint.
Both Young and the group went
insidethehotel, andat somepoint,
police were called, and Young was
arrested, police said. Young was
first taken to a hospital because he
was believed to be intoxicated, po-
lice said.
Tigers Young suspended for 7 days

WASHINGTONAfederal
court jury sawsnippets of Rog-
er Clemens denying steroid
use at a now-famous 2008 con-
gressional hearing, then lis-
tened Monday as Clemens
lawyer triedinfits andstarts to
declare that proceeding to be
nothing more than a show
trial that shouldnt have taken
place.
As the perjury retrial of the
seven-time Cy Young Award
winning pitcher entered its
third week, yet another day
was bogged down by constant
objections. And the behind-
the-scenes sniping was again
nastier than anything the ju-
rors have yet to hear in court.
Clemens lawyers used a writ-
ten response Monday, to a gov-
ernment motion filed with the
court, to aimtheir latest broad-
side at the governments key
witness. They claimed that
Clemens former strength
coach Brian McNamee has a
past that contains more dirt
than a pitchers mound.
If nothing else, prosecutors
cleared a psychological hurdle
when they managed to get
through the day without get-
ting into trouble with U.S. Dis-
trict Judge Reggie Walton. It
was duringthefirst trial last Ju-
ly that they played an excerpt
fromthe 2008 hearing that had
been ruled inadmissible
prompting Walton to declare
an embarrassing mistrial in an
already costly case.
The retrial, resuming after a
five-day break and expected to
last several more weeks, still
seems light years away from
addressing the principle ques-
tion that could matter most to
the jurors when they decide
whether Clemens lied to Con-
gress: Did he use steroids and
human growth hormone dur-
ing his remarkable 24-year ca-
reer?
As it was, the court spent
Monday hearing a second day
of testimony from the trials
first witness, Phil Barnett, who
was majority staff director for
the House Oversight and Gov-
ernment Reform Committee
when that committee held the
2008 hearing.
Prosecutors used Barnett to
try to establish that Congress
was within its bounds when it
called the hearing, which took
place two months after Clem-
ens was named in the Mitchell
Report on the use of perform-
ance-enhancing drugs in base-
ball. The government has
maintained that the validity of
the Mitchell Report was impor-
tant, in part because of overall
concerns over steroids and
HGH as a public health issue.
With Barnett on the stand,
the government played por-
tions of Clemens televised tes-
timony at the February 2008
hearingas well as anaudiotape
of the depositionthat preceded
it.
Let me be clear: I have nev-
er used steroids or HGH,
Clemens said confidently in
the videotape of the hearing.
Taking his turn to question
Barnett, Clemens lawyer Rus-
ty Hardin tried in several ways
to raise doubts about the valid-
ity of the hearing.

ble again with the tying run on
third base.
It was so nerve wracking,
Bridge said. But I knewmy team
would back me up.
Gowmanufactureda runinthe
first with a leadoff single, then
taking two bases on a sacrifice
bunt by Hillan. She scored on a
wild pitch. The Trojanettes add-
ed a run behind Kowalskis
homer in the fourth on a double
by Maggie Gola and a single by
Katie Wolfe.
We couldnt capitalize, Nan-
ticoke assistant caoch Bernie
Dalmas said. Theyve got a good
fielding team and they made
plays. That first baseman (Dia-
nese) made a major league play
(snagging a line drive and racing
to first for a double play in the
fifth).
I told the team its only one
loss and they have to put it in per-
spective.
The Bulldogs quality fielders
were also exceptional batters, as
they teamed for 12 hits.
Berwicktookthe lead2-1inthe
third on a single fromPruitt, who
scored on a double by Kylene
Welsh, and an RBI-single by
Bridge. After the Trojanettes re-
gained the lead, the Bulldogs put
up two runs in the sixth on a sin-
gle by Abbey Remley, a double by
Dianese and a game-winning sin-
gle to right-center by Pruitt.
She reallyknows howtomove
the ball around and has good
speed, Pruitt said of Nanticoke
pitcher Brooke Chapin. But that
pitch was right there. I knew I
had to take it and do something
with it.

break. Brea Seabrook, the divi-
sional scoring leader, beat two
defenders in the left side of the
box and fired a shot that from a
distance appeared to clearly go
in.
However, a few Warriors
thought otherwise, believing the
ball actually went through a hole
on the side of the net midway up
the post.
Either way, GAR gained some
much-needed momentum. It
didnt last long as the Warriors
scored seven minutes into the
second half.
Wyoming Areas Danielle Stil-
lartysettledtheball inthemiddle
of the penalty area and, despite
having a defender on either side
of her, paused for a few seconds
before scoring.

last time, up 5-1or 5-2 at halftime
and lost, GAR coach Stephanie
Frank said. We had the opportu-
nity to give it back to them, but
we didnt finish.

NEW YORK Alex Ovech-
kins power-play goal with 7:27
remaining snapped a tie and
gave the Washington Capitals a
3-2 victory over the New York
Rangers that squared the East-
ern Conference semifinal se-
ries 1-1 on Monday night.
Just under 6 minutes after
Ryan Callahan got the Rangers
even with a power-play goal,
Ovechkin put the Capitals
ahead for good after they
squandered a 2-0 lead.
Mike Knuble and Jason
Chimera scored first-period
goals for the Capitals, who will
host the next two games of the
series. Washington is trying to
repeat its first-round feat when
it lost the series opener but ral-
lied to beat Boston in seven
games. The Capitals have
earned four of their five wins in
this postseason on the road.
Brad Richards had a goal and
assist, and defenseman Mi-
chael Del Zotto had two assists
for the top-seeded Rangers,
who got forward Brian Boyle
back from a three-game injury
absence but couldnt turn it in-
to a commanding lead in the se-
ries.
New York rebounded from a
14-shot performance in its se-
ries-opening win and fired 28
shots on goalie Braden Holtby.
But the increase in numbers
produced fewer results.
Henrik Lundqvist, who al-
lowed two goals or fewer in six
of the previous eight games and
four straight, made 22 saves for
the Rangers. New York had
won three straight games, dat-
ing to the first round against
Ottawa when Boyle sustained a
concussion.
New York killed a penalty
against Boyle moments after
Callahans tying goal at 6:58,
but Ovechkin struck off a clean
faceoff win by Nicklas Back-
strom during another power
play. With Richards in the pen-
alty box for holding, Ovechkin
fired a shot frominside the blue
line past Lundqvist to make it
3-2.
The Rangers much-ma-
ligned power play got New
York into a 2-2 tie 56 seconds
after Knuble was sent off for
high-sticking.
New York worked the puck
around the Washington zone
several times for drives by Del
Zotto. The defenseman drop-
ped down from the blue line to
the right circle and let go a shot
that worked its way through.
After a close-to-the-vest
opener, the offenses busted out
in the first period nearly
matching the goal and shot to-
tals from the Rangers Game 1
victory. The teams combined
for four goals and 32 shots, only
14 by NewYork, in the Rangers
3-1 victory.
The Capitals took their first
lead of the series 12:20 in when
Washington took advantage of
a Rangers turnover in the offen-
sive zone. Stu Bickels pass was
intercepted by Joel Ward at the
blue line and he raced with the
puck up ice. He sent a pass to
the middle of the New York
zone to Keith Aucoin, who
quickly returned it to Ward.
Without any hesitation,
Ward moved the puck to his
right to Knuble, who scored his
second of the playoffs into the
right side of the net.

FORWARDS
Penguins Heading into the
second round, Jason Williams is
tied for second in the AHL with
eight points in the postseason.
His seven assists also place him
second overall. Colin McDonald
is tied for second in the league
with four goals and Cal OReilly
leads the AHL with three power-
play tallies. Overall, the Pen-
guins scored more goals (16)
than any other team in the post-
season so far with 14 registered
by forwards. And that doesnt
even include Bryan Lerg, who
led the team with three goals
against St. Johns during the reg-
ular season. He has yet to find
the back of the net in the playoffs
and is due to break out soon.
IceCaps RWSpencer Macha-
cek led St. Johns with 50 points
in the regular season and winger
Jason King was tops with 22
goals. They will be without Ja-
son Jaffray, who finished the sea-
son with 38 points in 47 games,
but have others who have
stepped up for the playoffs.
Brock Trotter played in only two
regular season games after com-
ing to the IceCaps late, but in the
playoffs he has four points in
four games. Center Aaron Gag-
non has three goals and five
points to lead the IceCaps in the
postseason.
Edge Penguins. Size up
front, players who can skate and
several who can create gives
them a more versatile forward
group.
DEFENSEMEN
Penguins Alex Grant (four
points) and Alexandre Picard
(three points) led the way for the
Penguins blueliners in the first
round. The return of Brian Strait
and Simon Despres from Pitts-
burgh provided stability along
with Robert Bortuzzo, and Joey
Mormina proved his value by
getting under Hersheys skin
during the first round. Cody
Wild and Philip Samuelsson give
the Penguins invaluable depth.
IceCaps In the regular sea-
son, two of St. Johns top five
scorers were defensemen (Paul
Postma, 44 points and Jason De-
Santis, 43 points). In the play-
offs, another blueliner emerged
at the top in Derek Meech, who
has three goals and five points in
four games. As a group, the Ice-
Caps defense corps moves the
puck better than any other
group of blueliners. With so
many offensive defensemen, the
IceCaps present a unique chal-
lenge.
Edge St. Johns. Postma, De-
Santis and Meech give the Ice-
Caps a dangerous offensive pres-
ence from the blueline.
GOALTENDERS
Penguins Brad Thiessen re-
bounded nicely from a pair of
losses in Hershey where he gave
up seven goals to limit the Bears
to one goal in Game 5. His GAA
is a tidy 2.19 while his save per-
centage has improved to .889.
Thiessen got the win in his only
regular season game against the
IceCaps, but allowed four goals.
Backup Scott Munroe allowed
eight goals in three starts
against St. Johns, going 1-2.
IceCaps All-Rookie team
goaltender Eddie Pasquale was
stellar in three starts against the
Penguins, going 2-1 with a 1.98
GAAand a .935 save percentage.
In the postseason, Pasquale has
allowed 10 goals in four games
and has a save percentage of
.932.
Edge Tied. If Thiessen con-
tinues to improve and revert
back to the form he displayed in
last years playoffs, then the Pen-
guins get the edge. Pasquale is
an highly-athletic goaltender
who is playing true to his regular
season form.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Penguins Hynes said the dif-
ference in the four games that
the two teams played against
each other in the regular season
was special teams. In the Pen-
guins two wins, the Penguins
were 2-for-8 on the power play
and the penalty kill was10-for-11,
including a couple of shorthand-
ed tallies. Aside froma 0-for-9 ef-
fort in one game against Her-
shey, the Penguins power play
has clicked in the playoffs at 24.1
percent.
IceCaps St. Johns is 4-for-19
on the power play in the playoffs,
but during the regular season
they were third-best in the
league with a success rate of
20.6. In their two regular season
wins against Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton, the IceCaps penalty
kill was a perfect 9-for-9 and con-
nected for two shorthanded
goals.
PIVOTAL PLAYER
Penguins Cal OReilly. He
didnt score a goal in 21 regular
season games with the Pen-
guins, but has three in five play-
off games, and they all have
come on the power play. OReilly
admits hes shooting the puck
more and he looks more com-
fortable on the ice. Hes always
been able to set guys up, but
OReilly looks like hell continue
to find the back of the net as
well.
IceCaps Brock Trotter. He
bounced between Hamilton and
Portland before landing with St.
Johns for two games this season.
With Portland, Trotter scored 31
points in 35 games and he al-
ready has four points in four
playoff games. The last time he
was in the AHL playoffs in 2010,
Trotter registered eight goals
and 19 points in 19 games with
Hamilton. He knows howto pro-
duce when the pressures on.
PREDICTION
Flip a coin. Hynes said both
teams are similar and thats an
understatement. The goals for
and against are very close, and
during the regular season the
Penguins had 44 wins while the
IceCaps had 43. One could make
the case that the IceCaps bounty
of offensive defensemen sets
themapart, but the Penguins are
no slouch on the blueline either
with Picard, Grant and Despres.
The winner will take it in seven.

MIAMI As the Miami
Heat expected, the New York
Knicks were much improved
in Game 2.
Better, yes but not good
enough.
Dwyane Wade scored 25
points, Chris Bosh added 21
and the Heat beat New York
104-94 on Monday night,
sending the Knicks to an
NBA-record-tying 12th
straight postseason loss.
LeBron James finished with
19 points, nine assists and
seven rebounds for the Heat,
who lead the Eastern Confer-
ence first-round series 2-0.
Carmelo Anthony scored 30
points on 12-for-26 shooting
for New York, which got 18
points from Amare Stoude-
mire and 13 apiece from Ty-
son Chandler and J.R. Smith.
The only other team to lose
12 straight playoff games is
the Memphis Grizzlies, who
dropped their first dozen
postseason contests from
2004 through 2006.
New Yorks last postseason
win came April 29, 2001. The
Knicks get another chance to
snap the drought Thursday
when they host Game 3.
Mario Chalmers scored 13
points and Mike Miller and
Shane Battier each shot 3 for
5 from 3-point range on their
way to 11-point games for the
defending East champion
Heat, who shot 52 percent.
Baron Davis, who sat most
of the first half and has been
battling back issues, finished
with 12 points for the Knicks.
Along with the Grizzlies,
the Knicks were one of four
teams in NBA history with
11-game postseason losing
streaks, according to STATS
LLC, joining Denver (1988-
94) and the Baltimore Bullets
(1965-70).
Pacers 93, Magic 78
INDIANAPOLIS David
West had 18 points and 11
rebounds to help the Indiana
Pacers beat the Orlando Mag-
ic 93 and even the Eastern
Conference first-round series
at one game apiece.
Danny Granger and George
Hill each added 18 points and
Paul George had 17 points
and eight rebounds for Indi-
ana.
Glen Davis led the Magic
with 18 points and 10 re-
bounds, but he shot 5 for 16
from the field. J.J. Redick
scored 13 points and Jameer
Nelson added 12 for Orlando.
The Pacers were heavy
favorites in the series because

suspended for
Game 2
ATLANTA Boston Celtics
guard Rajon Rondo has been
suspended for Game 2 of the
opening-round playoff series
against the Atlanta Hawks.
The NBA announced its
decision Monday, less than
24 hours after Rondo stuck
out his chest to bump
referee Marc Davis while
complaining about a call in
the final minute of Bostons
83-74 loss in Game 1.
Rondo wont be able to
play Tuesday night in Atlanta
when the Celtics try to even
the series. The NBAs assist
leader scored 20 points and
dished out 11 assists in the
opener, leaving Boston with a
huge hole in its lineup.
The Celtics already have
been playing without
shooting guard Ray Allen,
whos hobbling on a sore
right ankle. Avery Bradley
will likely move over to take
Rondos place at the point.

A Manhattan Supreme
Court judge in early April re-
fused to dismiss a lawsuit fil-
ed against the NewYork Jets
and Favre by two massage
therapists.
Christina Scavo and Shan-
non OToole contend they
were subjected to sexual ha-
rassment andjobdiscrimina-
tion.
They say they lost their
part-time jobs with the Jets
after complaining about sex-
ually suggestive text mess-
ages from the veteran quar-
terback while he was with
the team in 2008.

Ryan Geffert is wrapping up a
great career playing baseball for
Southern Connecticut Uni-
versity, and the statistics and
awards back up that statement.
Geffert (Wyoming Valley
West) is a 6-foot-2, 225-pound
first baseman for the Owls. Hes
hitting .293 (46-for-157) with
eight doubles, a team-high 11
home runs, 30 RBI and 38 runs.
In the field, hes made just seven
errors on 438 chances (.984).
This is Gefferts fourth season
starting for the team and he
ranks first all-time in the Owls
record book in career home runs
(30) and RBI (193). He also
leads in walks and putouts. He
set a one-season record with 14
home runs as a sophomore.
Geffert is heading toward his
fourth straight Northeast-10
Conference first-team selection.
He was an All-Region pick his
first three seasons as well and
earned All-ECAC honors as a
freshman and sophomore. Hes
been a Tino Martinez Award
nominee (top Division II-III
player) twice, was the 2009
NE-10 All-Rookie pick and twice
was a New England Intercolle-
giate Baseball Association All-
Star (2009-2010).
And, last season, Geffert
helped the Owls post a 45-9-1
record and earn a berth in the
Division II College World Se-
ries.
Ryan has already broken
numerous SCSU record and will
end his career as one of the best
players in school history, coach
Tim Shea said.
The Owls, ranked 21st in
NCAA Division II, are 29-14
overall and 11-6 in the tough
NE-10. They have five league
games remaining before the
league championship begins
next Wednesday. They are aim-
ing for a three-peat in the league
tourney.
Ryan has come on really
strong over the past two weeks
and Im confident he will contin-
ue to swing a hot bat through-
out the remainder of the sea-
son, Shea said.
PARDINI IN THE HUNT
The Northeast Conference Out-
door Track Championships will
be held Saturday and Sunday in
Emmetsburg, Md., and Robert
Morris sophomore Nikki Pardini
will be in the mix in the triple
jump.
Pardini (Wyoming Area)
finished second in the triple
jump at the James Madison
University Invitational with a
career-best 37-7. Earlier, she
won the event at the Bennie
Benson Memorial meet in Moon
Township with a 36-4 effort.
Nikki went through some
adjustments with us, coach
Michael Smith said. She had
been exposed to some pretty
good coaching in high school so
she had a leg up on many of the
incoming freshmen.
Pardinis problem as a fresh-
man was that Robert Morris had
eight experienced triple jump-
ers.
Nikki had never really lifted
like collegiate athletes do,
Smith said. She had been ex-
posed to some basic lifting but
Olympic lifts were completely
new to her and her volume of
training was significantly higher
than what she had experienced
in high school. She really had to
get comfortable running her
approaches and dealing with the
running necessary to handle all
of the training.
DEREMER TEED IT UP
Freshman Donny DeRemer
(Holy Redeemer) was a member
of the Susquehanna mens golf
team.
DeRemer saw action in three
spring matches. He finished tied
for fifth with a college-best
round of 79 at the SU Spring
Opener at Susquehanna Valley
Country Club. He shot 79-80
159 at the McDaniel Invitational
and 82-87169 at the Glenmau-
ra National Intercollegiate in
Moosic.
Donny has been really up
and down as a freshman, coach
Don Harnum said. But I can
say that he showed more prom-
ise than any of the four fresh-
men on the team. He has a great
attitude and works at his game
and I expect him to be in our
lineup as a sophomore.
GRILLINI PITCHING IN
Freshman Anthony Grillini
(Coughlin) is a member of the
Binghamton baseball teams
pitching staff.
The 6-foot, 165-pound right-
hander has worked in seven
games and started two for the
Bearcats. He has a 1-0 record
with a 2.65 earned run average.
In 17 innings, he has given up 19
hits and eight runs, five earned.
Hes walked six and struck out
nine.
Grillini picked up his first
college victory in a 10-4 triumph
over Bucknell. He started and
worked five innings, giving up
five hits and two runs, both
earned, while striking out two
and walking two.
In his most recent effort,
Grillini worked a scoreless in-
ning in relief in a 9-5 loss to
Cornell. He gave up a hit and
had a strikeout.
Binghamton is 18-18 overall
and 9-3 in the America East
Conference.
BRESLIN ENDS CAREER
Senior Matt Breslin (Hazleton
Area) finished 12th in last week-
ends Commonwealth Confer-
ence Mens Golf Championships
in Hershey. He had an 82-81
163 to help the Pride finish sixth
in the team standings. It was his
final match with the Pride.
Breslin, who was a standout
placekicker with the Widener
football team, earned medalist
honors in a recent Widener
Tri-Match at the Springhaven
Club in Wallingford.
Matt improved over last
season, coach Brian Sheehan
said. His ball striking was more
consistent and he expected to
shoot near par every time he
stepped out on the course.
KRAMERS FINE-TUNING
Junior Brianna Kramer will be
competing with the Ursinus
womens track team at this
weekends Centennial Confer-
ence Championships in College-
ville.
Kramer (MMI Prep) com-
petes in the 400 and 800, and
with the relay teams for the
Bears. She was a member of the
1,600 relay which finished fifth
(4:03.02) in the Centennial-
MAC race at last weeks Penn
Relays in Philadelphia.
Brianna is doing great,
coach Chris Bayless said. She
has struggled periodically, but I
have changed her training and
she is more mentally stronger
than ever before and more fo-
cused. She is a very versatile
athlete and we are fine-tuning
her be a conference champion in
her senior season.
WIDENER DUO READY TO
GO The Widener mens track
team will be competing in the
Middle Atlantic Conference
Championships this weekend in
Elizabethtown and sophomore
Michael Calkins (Dallas) and
freshman Gavin Colley (Tunk-
hannock) figure to score points
for the Pride.
Calkins will be competing in
the 800 and with the 3,200 relay.
Even though Mike has been
battling a lower leg injury, he
recently ran his personal best
for 800 and 1,500 meters, coach
Vince Touey said.
Those times are 1:59.31 in the
800, and 4:12.95 in the 1,500.
Colley will compete in the 100
and 200, and will anchor the
400 relay. He led the Pride to a
second-place finish in the 400
relay (42.43) at West Chester
and he won the 100 (11.39) at a
meet in Haverford. His best
times are 11.10 in the 100, and
22.76 in the 200.
Gavin missed some time
early in the season due to injury
thus is a little behind, Touey
said. We believe he will be fully
prepared for the champion-
ships.
LADY COLONELS WRAP IT
UP The Wilkes womens la-
crosse team saw its season
come to an end with a 22-10 loss
to Manhattanville last Saturday
in Purchase, N.Y. The Lady
Colonels finished 7-6 overall and
0-6 in the Freedom Conference.
Three area women were key
performers for the team. They
were senior Lindsey Davenport
(Dallas), sophomore Olivia
Dworak of Dupont (Wyoming
Seminary) and freshman Sarah
Brozena (Wyoming Valley
West).
Davenport, also a standout
goalkeeper for the field hockey
team, played the field in la-
crosse and finished with 13
goals and an assist. She also had
11 ground balls, four draw con-
trols and two caused turnovers.
Lindsay really made a name
for herself in field hockey and
lacrosse at Wilkes, coach Kam-
mie Towey said. We never
toyed with the option of being a
lacrosse goalie. She really want-
ed to branch out to do some-
thing different so we decided to
put her on attack/midfield. She
brought a lot of intensity to the
game. She had a hard work ethic
and brought a lot of leadership
to the team.
Dworak, also a field hockey
player, had 16 goals and four
assists along with 21 ground
balls, five draw controls and 13
caused turnovers.
Olivia is a versatile player
who played both attack and
midfield, Towey said. Her
defense was excellent and we
expect her to continue to devel-
op as a player and become a big
threat on attack.
Brozena played in 12 games
and started three. She had a
goal, four ground balls, four
draw controls and two caused
turnovers.
Sarah was new to lacrosse
but she picked up on new skills
really quickly and had a natural
instinct on the field, Towey
said. She played both attack
and defense and we expect her
to continue learning the game
and working hard. She has a lot
of promise and potential.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The
only questions Tiger Woods
fielded before his next tourna-
ment came fromhis fans.
Instead of a news conference
before this weeks Wells Fargo
Championship, Woods answer-
ed 19 questions Monday in a 15-
minute video posted on his web-
site. The questions were submit-
ted through Facebook and Twit-
ter.
Thetimingof thedecisionwas
peculiar. Woods is comingoff his
worst performance ever at the
Masters, a tie for 40th in which
he finished 15 shots behind and
was roundly criticized for kick-
ing his 9-iron in disgust after a
poor tee shot on the par-3 16th
hole in the second round.
Woods typically speaks to the
media before every tournament.
This time, hewill not speaktore-
porters until his first round
Thursday at Quail Hollow.
His agent, MarkSteinberg, did
not immediately return a phone
call from The Associated Press.
He earlier told The Charlotte
Observer that Woods trading
the traditional media for social
media was not inresponse to the
criticismhe received at the Mas-
ters.
The media will continue to
have access to him, Steinberg
said. This isnt anything more
than a couple of times a year to
interact with the fans. They de-
serve that. This isnt intended to
make a statement. This is in-
tended to be more inclusive.
This isnt a
statement
whatsoever.
Some in the
media might
interpret it
that way, but
thats not the
intent.
Among the questions he took
for the video:
Do you have a good chance
of winning?
Have youever made analba-
tross?
What was the difference be-
tween Bay Hill (where he won)
and the Masters?
Fans were told that he would
answer questions about his next
two tournaments Quail Hol-
low and The Players Champion-
shipalthoughWoods tookthe
question about howhis perform-
ance changed from Bay Hill and
Augusta. Another question was
what he had been working on
with swing coach Sean Foley
since the Masters.
At the Masters, I was kind of
struggling with my ball-striking
a little bit, he said. Sean and I
fixedit. It hadtodowithposture.
My setup wasnt quite right, as
well as my takeaway. I just need-
ed to do hundreds of reps. Im
getting dialed in.
Woods, the biggest star in golf
with 72 tour wins and14 majors,
has operated under a different
set of rules thanmost other play-
ers. Inadeal madeyearsagowith
the PGA Tour, he only comes to
themediacenter for his pre-tour-
nament news conference when
he is the defending champion or
is at a tournament for the first
timeor onehehas not playedina
long time. Woods always goes to
the media center before tourna-
ments at the majors.
This is believed to be the first
time he has ever skipped his
media obligations before the
tournament.
Woods said he was excited to
get back to competition, having
taken a full week off after the
Masters. He said he has changed
his swing over the years to alle-
viate stress on his left knee,
which has been operated on four
times.
Lets end it at four, he said.
Plus, I have two little ones to
chase around.
On other topics:
He said he has made an al-
batross twice in his career, but
not incompetition. Onewas dur-
ing a practice round at the Walk-
er Cup in Wales in1995, the oth-
er at Isleworthjust twodaysafter
watching Mark OMeara make a
2 on the par-5 seventh hole.
His favorite trophy fromthe
majors is the claret jug awarded
the British Open champion.
Of the next two tourna-
ments, there were more ques-
tions about The Players Cham-
pionship, especially the 70-foot
birdie putt he made from the
back of the island green on the
par-3 17th in the third round of
2001, the only year he won at
Sawgrass. Woods said he
watched Fred Funk in the group
ahead of him four-putt from
about the same spot.

Spending up, but weakly
The Commerce Department said
Monday that consumer spending in-
creased just 0.3 percent last month
after a 0.9 percent gain in February.
Income grew 0.4 percent following a
0.3 percent gain in February. But after-
tax income when adjusted for inflation
increased just 0.2 percent in March.
The gain followed two months of de-
clines.
Some economists worry consumers
cant keep spending as freely as they
did in the first three months of this
year without bigger pay raises. After-
tax income rose just 0.6 percent in the
first three months compared with a
year earlier. That was the smallest pay
increase in two years.
New warehouse employs 6
HVAC Distributors, a wholesale
distributor and manufacturers repre-
sentative of heating and air-condition-
ing equipment, will serve its Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania market in 8,500
square feet of leased space in a Mericle
Commercial Real Estate Services flex
building in CenterPoint Commerce &
Trade Park West, Pittston Township.
The company will use the space as a
wholesale distribution, showroom and
training center for residential and light
commercial products.
Six employees will staff the new
facility.
Delta buys Philly refinery
Delta Air Lines said on Monday that
it will buy a refinery near Philadelphia
in the hope of slicing $300 million a
year from its jet fuel bill.
Delta said a subsidiary will buy the
Trainer, Pa. refinery from Phillips 66, a
refining company being spun off from
ConocoPhillips. Delta is paying $150
million, including $30 million in job-
creation assistance it expects to get
from the state of Pennsylvania.
Jeep, Durango sales strong
Sales of Jeep Grand Cherokee and
Dodge Durango SUVs are so strong
that their factory will stay open
through the normal two-week summer
shutdown.
Automakers typically close plants
around the July 4 holiday to update
cars and trucks for the new model year
and maintain the machinery.
Chrysler sold nearly 38,000 Grand
Cherokees from January through
March, up 44 percent from a year ago.
Durango sales were up 33 percent.

BLINDNESS, whether
congenital or from
injury or disease, has
long challenged med-
ical researchers.
Its extremely diffi-
cult to repair many
types of eye damage, and treatments
designed to improve eyesight can back-
fire.
For those who have conditions such
as macular degeneration, theres often
little that doctors can do to restore sight
once it has begun to degrade.
But hope may be within reach. Re-
searchers around the world have been
working on visual prosthetic devices
more popularly known as a bionic eye,
and a teamin Australia called Bionic-
Vision plans to begin human testing
next year.
The systemBionicVision has devel-
oped uses a camera to transmit radio
signals to a receiver implanted in the
patients retina. The receiver stimulates
cells within the retina that are connect-
ed to the optic nerve. In response, the
visual processing center of the brain
interprets the impulses as an image.
BionicVisions Wide-View implant
consists of an array of 98 electrodes
which selectively simulate the retina.
The device should give patients the
ability to perceive and avoid large ob-
jects such as vehicles, buildings or other
obstacles. It was developed specifically
for patients with retinitis pigmentosa, a
genetic eye condition that generally
leads to blindness.
The companys High-Acuity Device
has more than1,000 electrodes, allow-
ing the user more visual acuity. Accord-
ing to BionicVision, the High Acuity
device, slated for testing in 2014, may
give patients the ability to read large
print.
The implants dont restore normal
eyesight rather, they stimulate the
retina to generate phosphenes spots of
light within a visual field. Patients
brains interpret themand put together a
mental map of what theyre looking at.
While still in its infancy, and clearly
limited, the technology is amazing.
For the first time, we may be able to
stimulate the sense of sight in a mea-
ningful way. The technology mirrors
early experiments with television so
its reasonable to assume that within 20
years, we may have the ability to return
sight to those who have lost it.
Its no Star Trek Visor, but its a
start.

EWYORKMicrosoft onMon-
dayprovidedaninfusionof mon-
ey to help Barnes &Noble com-
petewithtopelectronicbooksellerAma-
zon. In exchange, Microsoft gets a long-
desired foothold in the business of e-
books and college textbooks.
Microsoft Corp.s $300 million invest-
ment sent Barnes & Noble Inc.s stock
zooming up $7.07, or 52 percent.
Thetwocompanies areteamingupto
create a subsidiary for Barnes &Nobles
e-bookandcollegetextbookbusinesses,
with Microsoft taking a 17.6 percent
stake.
The deal gives Barnes & Noble am-
munition to fend off shareholders who
have agitated for a sale of the Nook e-
book business or the whole company,
but the companies said Monday that
theyareexploringseparatingthesubsid-
iary, provisionally dubbed Newco, en-
tirely fromBarnes &Noble. That could
meanastockoffering, saleor other deal.
The deal also puts to rest concerns
that Barnes & Noble doesnt have the
capital to compete in the e-book busi-
ness with market leader Amazon.com
Inc. and its Kindle, said analyst David
Strasser at Janney Capital.
Microsoft also said the deal means
that there will be a Nook application for
Windows 8 tablets, to be released this
fall. The app is likely to get a favoredpo-
sition on Windows 8 screens.
Barnes & Noble CEO William Lynch
saidNook software will still be available
ondevices like the iPhone that compete
with Windows Phone.
The store on South Main Street in
Wilkes-Barre serves as the college book-
store for Wilkes University and Kings
College.
In 2009, Barnes & Noble Inc. bought
the college bookstore unit from Chair-
man Leonard Riggio in a deal worth
$596million. Thedeal endedupcosting
Barnes & Noble $460 million after ac-
counting for the units cash on hand at
the closing date.

NEWYORKEnergy Transfer Part-
ners is buying Sunoco in a $5.3 billion
deal that creates oneof themorediverse
pipeline companies in the country.
The acquisitionincludes nearly 8,000
miles of pipeline, as well as 4,900 gas
stations in 24 eastern states. Those sta-
tions will keep the Sunoco brand name
and its diamond-and-arrow logo. The
deal also brings a refinery business that
Sunoco is trying to get out of.
Energy Transfer is primarily a natural
gas pipelinecompany. Sunocos pipeline
network will allow the Dallas company
to expand into moving crude oil and re-
fined petroleum products from the
Great Lakes andNortheast toAmericas
refiningcenter alongtheGulf Coast. Su-
nocos pipelines have been in high de-
mandrecently thanks to a boomindrill-
ing for gas and oil in U.S. shale rock for-
mations.
The acquisition continues a run of
deal-making for Energy Transfer. Ener-
gy Transfer Equity, which owns Energy
Transfer Partners general partner,
bought Southern Union for more than
$5 billion in March.
Southern Union was briefly head-
quartered in Wilkes-Barre after it
bought Pennsylvania Enterprises, Inc.
for $500 million in1999. In 2006 South-
ern Union sold its PG Energy distribu-
tion division to UGI Corp. for $580 mil-
lion.
Energy Transfer Chairman and CEO
Kelcy Warren said the company has
been looking to diversify into oil pipe-
lines in response to an expected slow-
down in the natural gas pipeline busi-
ness.

Toddlers just learning how to chew
and feed themselves can still
handle a variety of healthy
foods. You want to instill a
good appetite for these foods
right away, says Chloe Deven-
ing, a registered dietitian in
Glen Allen, Va. Some of her
ideas:
Serve small bites. Food should be
pea-sized or smaller to prevent
choking. Cut up rounded items
such as grapes and melon balls,
grate firm foods such as apples
and dont give anything hard
(candy, nuts, popcorn) or sticky
(marshmallows, gummy candy).
Introduce the healthiest ver-
sions. Start off with whole-
wheat bread and fiber-rich bran
cereals before kids know about
popular kid foods such as
white bread or Froot Loops.
Go orange and yellow. Fruits and
vegetables of these colors, such
as sweet potatoes, carrots,
winter squash and cantaloupe,
are rich in fiber and vitamin A
for eye, bone and immune sys-
tem strength.
Include meats for iron. Most
adult-style meat is too chewy,
but you can soften it through
stewing or in a slow cooker, or
grind it into sauces for first
pastas and pizzas. Or make
healthier chicken nuggets by
baking not frying with just a
little breading.
Dont forget vitamin C. The vita-
min helps with iron absorption,
growth and immune power. Try
citrus fruits, strawberries, toma-
toes and steamed broccoli. ...
and D. Fortified cereals, eggs
and fish contain this vitamin,
which, along with calcium,
builds bones. Note: canned light
tuna and wild-caught Alaskan or
Pacific salmon are lower in
mercury than other types of
those fish.
Offer non-meat proteins. Beans,
eggs and cheese are good op-
tions, especially if kids balk at
meat.
Dont fear fat. For healthy brain
development, include unsat-
urated fats (avocados or very
thin spreads of nut butters, if
approved by your pediatrician)
and some saturated fats (full-fat
cheeses are best before age 2).
But avoid trans fats in proc-
essed goods.

Q: My triglyceride
level was 419 and my
doctor recommended
that I take the drug
Tricor to lower it.
Since I feel fine, do
I need to take it? Why
is an elevated triglyceride level bad?
What raises the triglycerides?
M.R., Huntsville, Ala.
A: Triglycerides are a part of the
total cholesterol in your blood. For
years, we werent quite sure whether or
not treating triglycerides made a differ-
ence in preventing heart disease.
High levels over 400 usually got
treated, while numbers between 200
and 400 were treated at the doctors
discretion. It turns out that high trigly-
cerides do need to be addressed, and
they do play a role in the development
of heart disease.
The current choles-
terol guidelines
consider a level
above 150 to be too
high.
When the trigly-
cerides are elevat-
ed, it tends to shift
the population of
LDL bad choles-
terol to a small,
denser and more
damaging variety.
For example, an LDL of 130 with a
triglyceride level of below150 is less
damaging than an LDL of 130 with a
triglyceride level like yours of 419. The
LDL number is the same, but pound
for pound, the LDL is nastier when
the triglycerides are elevated. Whats
more, we also notice a drop in the level
of HDL good cholesterol when the
triglycerides are elevated. So lowering
the triglycerides may modestly im-
prove the HDL level.
What elevates triglycerides?
The four major factors are fats, alco-
hol, sugar and a genetic predisposition
to have elevated triglycerides.
Heres some food for thought: A
study published in the April 2, 2002
issue of the Annals of Internal Med-
icine showed that a single high fat meal
given to healthy men (average age, 29
years) without heart disease not only
transiently raised their triglyceride
levels from100 to 250 after 5 hours, but
caused coronary artery blood flow
reserve to the heart to decrease by
about 18 percent.
The implication is that a high fat
meal which raises triglycerides may
cause chest pain or cause a heart attack
after meals.
ASK DR. H
M I T C H E L L H E C H T
High levels
of triglycerides
need treatment

in internal medicine. Send questions to him
at: Ask Dr. H, P.O. Box 767787, Atlanta, Ga.

When the tri-

Heres a new spin on the
saying, If you snooze you
lose.
What if the lose part ap-
plied to your weight? No, its
not as simple as going to
sleep and waking up slim-
mer. Alas.
But a recent Harvard study
does suggest that people who
get a good nights rest find it
easier to resist overeating
especially when it comes to
gorging on high-calorie foods

aybeif your momhadnt stop-
ped you from eating dirt at
the playground, you
wouldnt be all itchy now and runny-
nosed because its allergy season.
It is that time of the year again, as
nature sends out millions of grains of
pollen, seemingly mostly into your
eyeballs and nostrils.
Are youpart of that select club of 3 to 5 percent
of the population who experts say are severely
affected by airborne allergens?
How severe? Oh, maybe like this:
As James Thurber, the celebrated humorist, is
said to have complained, I used to wake up at 4
a.m. and start sneezing, sometimes for five
hours. I triedto findout what sort of allergy I had
but finally came to the conclusion that it must be
an allergy to consciousness.
And guess what, pollen sufferers? Its only go-
ing to get worse.
The allergy season is expected to last for long-
er stretches, because of what else? global

p
tion: Youre drowsy during the
day, get hungry and head to
the snacks aisle or a vending
machine for junk food or a
candy bar.
Daytime sleepiness was
positively related to greater
hunger and elevated prefer-
ence for high-calorie foods,
concluded the study, led by re-
searcher William Killgore, an
assistant professor of psychol-
ogy at Harvard Medical
School.
MRIs of study volunteers
showed why. Sleepier people
had less activity in the self-con-
trol part of the brain the pre-
frontal cortex. Thats the area
that puts the brakes on and
slows you down from doing
things you shouldnt do
like eating too much fattening,
unhealthy food, says Killgore.
If youre sleepy, youre more
likely to reach out and take a
fewextra bites of food or go for
that extra dessert or say yes to
something you wouldnt have,
says Killgore.
New preliminary findings
show that women are even
more inclined than men to
overeat and to prefer junk food
when they get sleepy during
the day.
People think theyre so bu-
sy that, if theyre going to
chintz on something, theyre
going to cut out some sleep.
And thats one thing they
shouldnt do, says Killgore.
It affects our ability to control
food intake.
Twenty or 30 years of doing
that is going to make us larger
and more unhealthy.

This is National Immuniza-
tion Week.
According to a recent report
released by the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention
(CDC), most parents are vacci-
natingtheir kids, withless than1
percent of children not receiving
any vaccines by age 19 to 35
months.
Vaccines protect the child and
the community, yet a significant
number of parents decide not to
vaccinate their children, placing
themat risk of dangerous diseas-
es and potentially exposing oth-
er unvaccinated children to
those diseases.
While at first the vaccination
process may seem daunting, ini-
tially developing a plan with
your doctor will make it much
more manageable, says Dr.
Sherman Alter, director of infec-
tious disease.
To best protect infants or tod-
dlers from a number of infec-
tious diseases, parents and fam-
ilies should talk to their childs
doctor about the recommended
vaccines, Alter said.
Alter offers these key points to
keep in mind:
Every person aged 6 months
and older should receive the in-
fluenza vaccine annually. This
includes individuals inclosecon-
tact with children younger than
5 years old (such as parents,
grandparents or caregivers).
Children at 12 to 23 months
should be vaccinated with hepa-
titis A virus vaccine.
All infants should receive
oral rotavirus vaccine to protect
against diarrhea caused by this
virus.
Children should receive two
doses of varicella (chickenpox)
vaccine the first between12to
15 months anda secondbetween
4 to 6 years to protect from this
contagious disease.
Adults who have or expect
to have close contact with an in-
fant aged less than 12 months
(parents, grandparents) should
receive a single dose of Tdap
(Tetanus toxoid, reduced diph-
theria toxoid and acellular per-
tussis) vaccine. This will prevent
potential transmission of infec-
tion, particularly pertussis
(whooping cough), from an in-
fected adult to a young infant.
Infants and young children
should receive the pneumococ-
cal vaccine (PCV13) that affords
protection against serious infec-
tions, such as pneumonia and
meningitis. A complete series
consists of four immunizations
through 18 months of age. Chil-
drenwhomight havereceivedan
older pneumococcal vaccine
(PCV7) should complete the
vaccine series with PCV13. For
children aged 14 months
through 59 months who com-
pleted the PCV7 series, a single
additional dose of PCV13 is rec-
ommended.
Themeningitis vaccine(me-
ningococcal conjugate vaccine,
quadrivalent MCV4) is rec-
ommended for children aged 9
to 23 months with certain disor-
ders of the immune system and
for children who are residents of
or are traveling to countries
where infection with the germis
more common.
While the minimum age for
immunization with measles,
mumps, andrubella (MMR) vac-
cine is 12 months, MMR vaccine
should be administered to in-
fants aged 6 through 11 months
who are traveling international-
ly. These childrenwill needtore-
ceive an additional two doses of
MMR vaccine at 12 months of
age and older.
Be sure your childs shots are up to date

Plus, pollen allergies may also
affect a larger group of people as
more and more of the worlds
population lives in ... too-hygien-

One of the ideas about why al-
lergies seem to be increasing in

mosquito-borne diseases, even
snake venom, says Dr. David
Robinson, a Virginia Mason Med-

As hygiene increases, these
cells have fewer parasites to
fight, but theyve got to fight
something.
They decide to fight pollens,

eyes to expel those pollens the
cells believe are parasites.
The hygiene hypothesis was
the subject of a 1999 study com-
paring asthma and allergic reac-
tions in children before and after
the reunification of East and
West Germany.
A Tufts Medical Center report
says, Before unification, East
Germany had more children
growinguponfarms andinlarger
families than West Germany; the
population also had much lower
rates of allergies andasthma than
West Germany.
After unification, however,
when East Germany developed a
more Western culture, its rates of
allergies and asthma increased to
the degree that they now resem-
ble those of West Germany.
By the way, whenyoubuy over-
the-counter allergy medication
that contains antihistamines,
youre not buying something that
stops histamine production. The
antihistamine simply attaches it-
self to the receptor sites to which
the histamine wouldattachitself,
and blocks it by having gotten
there first.
As for climate change, a 2011
report by the federal Environ-
mental Protection Agency says
warmer temperatures and more
rain will cause some plants to
grow faster, bloom earlier and
produce more pollen. And, says
the EPA, we can expect allergy
seasons to begin earlier and last
longer.
That doesnt mean a drastic
change in pollen seasons.
What the EPA says makes a
lot of sense, says Dr. Reynold
Karr, a clinical professor in the
University of Washingtons Divi-
sion of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases, and the Division of
Rheumatology. But I havent
seen a significant change at this
point.
This year is a normal year for
pollenallergies inthe Northwest,
he says.
We have two major seasons in
Western Washington: The tree
season is March and April, first
with alder, and then birch. Then
those peter out, and we come in-
to the grass season May, June,
July, says Karr.
Then what affects pollen aller-
gies is the day-to-day weather, he
says.
Adrizzle cleans the air and re-
duces the pollen count, just as it
rids smog, says Karr. Much
worse is several nice days like
weve had.
Although a minority of people
will have serious discomfort from
airborne allergies, says Karr,
around 14 to 20 percent will suf-
fer minor symptoms.
They will be suffering a rela-
tively modern ailment, only de-
scribed in medical literature
starting in the 19th century.
Youalsowill be sufferinganail-
ment that started with a bit of
snobbery.
It was mostly attributed to the
upper echelons of society, de-
scribed as rather a disease of the
brain-working than of the mus-
cle-working classes.
Hay fever was an affliction that
by the 1880s, had become the
pride of Americas leisure class,
Gregg Mitman wrote in the Bul-
letin of the History of Medicine,
in a paper titled, Hay Fever Holi-
day: Health, Leisure, and Place in
Gilded-Age America.
He wrote about how in the
summers, thousands of sufferers
trekked to special hay-fever re-
sorts in the mountains, by lakes
or on plateaus.
One memorable illustration
usedinthe paper is an1873 draw-
ing of a Mr. A. Wiper Weeps
travelingona train, his headcom-
pletely covered with a piece of
cloth to keep out pollens, as his
fellow passengers stare.
But thats how they dealt with
allergies in those olden days.
Were all modern, now.
By 2005, according to the
American Academy of Allergy,
Asthma & Immunology, we
spent $11.2 billion for medica-
tions (more than half were pre-
scriptions) to treat airborne aller-
gies. That was nearly double
what Americans spent on such
drugs in 2000.
That, as they say, truly is noth-
ing to sneeze at.

Before you enter the hospital
Understand your insurance
plan deductibles, co-pays,
maximum payouts, exclusions.
Call ahead to the insurance com-
pany, hospital anddoctors office
to get estimates of the cost and
what your share will be.
Know which hospitals and
doctors are in-network, mean-
ing they have contracts with
your insurance company to pro-
vide care at set rates. Out-of-
network providers have not
agreed to set rates and may
charge more. Your insurer may
require higher co-pays and co-in-
surance if you dont use the net-
work.
If youre uninsured, look up
the hospitals charity care policy
online or ask a hospital financial
counselor to explain it. If youre
uninsured or using an out-of-net-
work hospital, negotiate for a
discounted rate similar to what
insured patients are billed. Pat
Palmer, founder of Medical Bill-
ing Advocates of America, rec-
ommends asking for 35 percent
to 50 percent off hospital charg-
es.
Another suggestion is to ask
for the Medicare rate plus 25per-
cent. Thats what we kind of
start with, Palmer said.
If youre using a network hos-
pital, find out if it will be using
any providers, such as anesthe-
siologists or laboratories, that
are out-of-network. If so, ask
your insurance company to pay
in-network prices for out-of-net-
work providers if you have no
control over the choice. Ask for
in-networkproviders, if possible.
When youre admitted
Bring a family member or
friend who can act as your advo-
cate.
If you havent already asked
about charity care, ask a hospital
representative how to qualify.
If you havent already, ask if
any of your care providers, such
as the anesthesiologist, are out-
of-network. If so, ask the doctor
to accept your insurance compa-
nys out-of-network reimburse-
ment.
If the doctor refuses, ask your
insurer to send the reimburse-
ment check to you instead of the
doctor. The doctor may prefer to
receive a lower out-of-network
reimbursement directlyfromthe
insurance company rather than
fight you to get a penny, Palm-
er said.
When you get the bill
Do not pay without getting a
detailed, itemized statement,
said Palmer. Otherwise, You re-
ally have no clue what youre
paying for.
Review the bill for errors.
Sheets, gloves, etc, should be in-
cluded in an overall room
charge, not priced separately,
Palmer said.
Watch for drugs that you
didnt receive. Pay attention to
hourly fees for the operating
room and recovery room. Palm-
er said patients should not pay
for time spent waiting in recov-
ery if nobody was available to
take you to the room. That
wasnt your problem that they
werent staffed to do that.
If you need help deciphering
the bill, ask for a consumer ad-
vocate through Palmers organi-
zation or other local agencies.
Matchthe bill tothe insurance
companys Explanation of Ben-
efits. Many people discard this
document because its stamped
Not a bill. Wait for your doctor
or hospital to bill you for the
amount you owe after your in-
surance has paid.
Ask the hospital if they offer a
discount for immediate pay-
ment, a common practice.
If you get threatening calls or
letters fromthe hospital or a col-
lection agency, do not ignore
their letters or calls. Delay can
result in being reported to a
credit agency.
Hospital officials say theyll
help set up payment plans, and
some experts say its better to
work out a plan directly with the
hospital thanfaceadditional fees
or penalties from an outside
agency. If youpaythe hospital di-
rectly instead of the collection
agency, mail or fax proof of pay-
ment to the collection agency.
If you dispute your bill, make
your case in writing to the hospi-
tal. Any time you dispute some-
thing in writing, they are obli-
gated to answer in writing,
Palmer said. The account is
supposed to be put on hold until
the dispute is resolved ... Imnot
saying dont make a good faith
payment if you know you owe
something.
If a collection agency takes
action
Knowthat this can affect your
credit rating. Many people find
out only later when they apply
for a car loan or mortgage.
If appropriate, file a complaint
with the Better Business Bureau
or the state attorney generals of-
fice.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: May I
comment on the let-
ter from Working
the Window in Geor-
gia (Jan. 22), the
drive-through worker
who said people
should have their
orders ready when they pull up to the
speaker? Many drive-through restau-
rants place their speakers in FRONT
of the first menu you see. Unless you
frequent the restaurant, its impossi-
ble to know what you want until you
reach the menu. Also, if Corporate
is timing its employees, then maybe
they should dispense with having the
employees greet customers with a
long list of item suggestions before
taking the order. Those of us at the
other end of the speaker often cannot
understand a word being said, either
because the speaker isnt working
properly, because the order-taker has
a thick accent, or the person is speak-
ing too fast.
Peggy in Thornton, Colorado
Dear Peggy: My readers agree with
you 100 percent! Their biggest beef
is the order menu being located only
at the order window/speaker. Fast
food corporate America, please take
notice. Read on:
Dear Abby: How are we supposed to
have any idea of what to order when
we dont see the menu until we pull
up to the window? This is especially
true when I try a new restaurant. If
restaurants post anything before that,
it is usually just a list of their most
expensive combo meals. Sometimes
the prices arent even listed at the
preview menu window.
Here are some suggestions for
people working the windows:
1. I may not know your menu. So
please give me a chance to look it
over. If you have a drive-through, I
have a right to use it. If you dont
want new customers to know what
you offer, then Ill be happy to take
my business elsewhere.
2. I know you are reading from a
script, but if I dont want a combo
meal, please do not ask me repeat-
edly if I want one.
3. Give me a chance to check my
order when you hand it to me. I am
really tired of getting to my destina-
tion only to find out my order is
wrong.
4. Do not argue with me if I want to
verify that my drink is a diet drink. I
am diabetic and a non-diet soda could
make me very sick.
5. Please understand that even if I
dont have the radio on and there is
no background noise, I may still have
trouble understanding you. Perhaps
the speakers are bad or I am slightly
hearing-impaired.
6. Please give me straw if I order a
drink.
I have worked fast food before and
I know from experience it is not an
easy job. Yes, there are rude custom-
ers, but there are also rude employ-
ees. I know that from experience, too.
Libby in Little Rock, Ark.

DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Irked fast food customers respond to drive-through workers advice
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The
elderly are not the only people
who are concerned about stay-
ing sharp. Today the spoils will
go to the quick-witted, whatever
age they may be.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Take
a hint from the transcendental
mediators. Dont worry about
how well you are doing, and
dont be disappointed in yourself
for having intruding thoughts
and feelings.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though
you know quite a lot on a certain
subject, avoid going on and on.
The fewer your words, the more
confident you sound. Besides, no
one will remember everything
you say. Hit the main point.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It
would be unwise to finish every-
thing you start. When you learn
enough to know that the rest is
going to be a long, fruitless slog,
its time to jump ship.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Usually
you ask permission to interact
with others because its custom-
ary and polite for you to do so.
Today you may benefit from
simply doing the thing you would
like to do.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Perhaps
you lost some money recently.
Learning from experience is
the same thing as gaining from
experience. Youll apply what
youve learned, and your knowl-
edge will be worth gold.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In
Buddhism, a figure called Kuan
Yin hears the cries of the world
and responds as only a mother
could. Express your pain and
youll experience an example of
unconditional love.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
need more loving care than
usual, if only because youve
taken on bigger challenges.
Being around someone who
accepts and supports you will
remind you to accept and sup-
port yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll feel compassion welling
up in your heart when youre
around those who need it most.
Right now, the ones who could
use your love are the same ones
who are usually so self-sufficient.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youd like to win the race, com-
plete the project or land the ball.
Stay playful. Keep your eye on
the goal while your heart is in
the moment.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Exciting new influences jolt you
out of your former mindset.
Theres something new to want
here, and it has you paying
greater attention to whats going
on around you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
always love a certain person,
though you are not always
thinking about what this person
would prefer as you go about
your daily life independently.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 1). This
month, youll let go of a certain
attachment and love how your
life develops. June brings new
resolutions that you can stick to,
especially regarding health and
fitness. Guided by your competi-
tive spirit, victory will be yours
in August. November features
family visits as well as work
challenges. Aquarius and Pisces
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 5, 20, 15, 39 and 18.
