JENKINS TWP.
The son
of Sundays hit-and-run victim
said he holds no animosity to-
ward the driver of the vehicle
who fatally injured his mother
shortly after she attended
church, but he wants that per-
son to come forward to clear
his or her conscience.
Mark Darsky, 36, son of
65-year-old Jean Darsky, who
was struck late Sunday after-
noon in front of her home at
302 Westminster Road home,
said Monday that if the driver
knew what kind of a person
his mother was, he or she
would turn themselves in im-
mediately.
My mom was the best
person you could ever meet,
Darsky said while standing
in the backyard of the home
he shared with his mother.
Right now, Im just remem-
bering all the great times I
had with her. I cherish our
time together.

Luzerne County Council-
woman Linda McClosky Houck
wants council to use its home
rule subpoena and investigative
powers for the rst time to ex-
amine county transportation au-
thority opera-
tions.
Mc Cl o s ky
Houck said she
is making the
request largely
because of
authority bus
ridership de-
clines and new
i nf or mat i on
about the case of an authority
employee with a pending sexual
harassment suit.
A Times Leader article pub-
lished Saturday said the Forty
Fort woman who led the suit
was sexually assaulted and
physically attacked in January
by a man who entered her home
claiming he worked for a gas
utility company investigating a
gas leak. She said the man told
her, You have a big mouth, keep
it shut and stop the lawsuit, ac-
cording to a search warrant af-
davit.
Police and the District Attor-
neys Ofce are investigating the
assault and seeking the suspect.
The woman led a civil suit,
which is pending in federal
court, against the authority, au-
thority Supervisor Robb Hen-
derson and Executive Director
Stanley Strelish in October al-
leging she was sexually harassed
on the job.
McClosky Houck said the in-
formation in the recent article
was disturbing, and she is also
concerned about a signicant
drop in bus riders. While coun-
cil may not be privy to details
about the police investigation
and the pending litigation, she
wants authority board members
to explain what they know and
how they manage the staff.
The county budgeted
$572,000 in funding to the au-
thority this year, and council ap-
points authority board members
as their terms expire.
I think we have a right to talk
to them about what they know
and do not know and how they
discipline employees. The board
WILKES-BARRE A cus-
tomer stopped a masked man
from leaving the store after a
robbery at Quick Food Mart
on North Main Street on
Sunday, according to charges
led.
Ch r i s t o -
pher Thom-
as, 25, of
West Maple
Street, Wil-
ke s - Ba r r e ,
was ar-
raigned Mon-
day by District Judge Joseph
Halesey in Hanover Township
on two counts of robbery and
one count each of tampering
with evidence, theft and crimi-
nal mischief.
According to the criminal
complaint:
Ghanshyam Majmundar
called police just after 11 a.m.
saying a robbery suspect was
being detained by a customer
inside the convenience store.
When police pulled into
the parking lot, they spotted
a vehicle that was up against
the front door, preventing the
suspect, identied as Thomas,
from leaving.
Customer Charlie Grace
told police he saw Thomas,
wearing a ski mask and gloves,
pacing outside the store.
Grace said he told Thomas
he could not go into the store
wearing a ski mask.
Grace followed Thomas
into the store, where Thomas
WILKES-BARRE De-
molition of the historic Hotel
Sterling, once a grand city
landmark that has fallen into
disrepair and become a danger-
ous eyesore, should begin by
late June to mid-July, the city
has announced.
The city on Monday re-
ceived an ofcial release of
about $400,000 from the U.S.
Department of Housing and
Urban Development that is the
nal piece of funding needed to
cover demolition. The city will
advertise for demolition bids
this week, city Municipal Af-
fairs Manager Drew McLaugh-
lin said.
The funding is a portion of
the citys annual Community
Development Block Grant allo-
cation fromHUDfor removal of
blighted properties.
We are nearing the nal
stages of this demolition,
Mayor Tom Leighton said in a
prepared statement. This has
been a top priority since the
ooding of 2011. We all look
forward to the day when the
public safety threat has been
addressed and the detour in
downtown Wilkes-Barre is lift-
ed.
The former hotel, located on
the northeast corner of North
River and West Market streets,
was condemned in 1998 and
became a target of vandals. Its
worsened condition after 2011
ooding led the city to close
half of Market Street and a lane
of River Street in September

WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama on Monday
called reports that the Internal
Revenue Service targeted con-
servative groups outrageous
and said anyone responsible
should be held
account abl e.
He pushed
back strongly
against fresh
Re p u b l i c a n
criticism of
the administra-
tions handling
of last years
deadly Benghazi attacks, calling
it a political sideshow.
The president was dogged by
the persisting political contro-
versies as he tended to diplo-
matic duties during a visit with
British Prime Minister David
Cameron.
Obama acknowledged that
people are properly concerned
about acknowledgements from
the IRS that conservative politi-
cal groups were targeted during
the 2012 campaign to see if they
were violating their tax-exempt
status. But he angrily dismissed
continued questions over Sep-
tembers insurgent attack in
Libya that killed Ambassador
Chris Stevens and three other
Americans.
Theres no there there,
Obama said. The fact that this
keeps on getting churned up,
frankly, has a whole lot to do
with political motivations.
Cameron and Obama had a
meeting in the Oval Ofce be-
fore appearing before the media
in the East Room of the White
House to take questions.
The two leaders said they had
discussed several pressing inter-
national issues, including the
Mideast peace process, trade
and preparations for a coming
summit of the worlds leading
industrial nations in Northern
Ireland. They said they were
committed to working together
to keep pressure on Syrias Presi-
dent Bashar Assad and assist the
opposition in a protracted civil
war. Cameron said, There is no

Chief Frank Mudlock urges
anyone with information about
this case is to call Jenkins Town-
ship police at 654-1281, or dial
911 if you want an immediate
response.
Joyce Brothers, the pop psy-
chologist who pioneered the
television advice show in the
1950s and enjoyed a long and
prolic career as a syndicated
columnist, author, and televi-
sion and lm personality, has
died. She was 85.
Brothers died Monday of re-
spiratory failure in New York
City, according to her longtime
Los Angeles-based publicist,
Sanford Brokaw.
Brothers rst gained fame
on a game show and went on
to publish 15 books and make
cameo appearances on popular
shows including Happy Days
and The Simpsons. She visit-
ed Johnny Carson on The To-
night Show nearly 100 times.
The way Brothers liked to
tell it, her multimedia career
came about because we were
hungry.
It was 1955. Her husband,
Milton Brothers, was still in
medical school and Brothers
had just given up her teaching
positions at Hunter College
and Columbia University to be
home with her newborn, rmly
believing a childs development
depended on it.
But the young family found
itself struggling on her hus-
bands residency income. So
Brothers came up with the idea
of entering a television quiz
show as a contestant.
The $64,000 Question
quizzed contestants in their
chosen area of expertise. She
memorized 20 volumes of a
boxing encyclopedia and,
with that as her subject, be-
came the only woman and the
second person to ever win the
shows top prize.
Brothers tried her luck again
on the superseding $64,000
Challenge, answering each
question correctly and earn-
ing the dubious distinction as
one of the biggest winners in
the history of television quiz
shows. She later denied any
knowledge of cheating, and
during a 1959 hearing in the
quiz show scandal, a producer
exonerated her of involvement.
Her celebrity opened up
doors. In 1956, she became co-
host of Sports Showcast and
frequently appeared on talk
shows.
Two years later, NBC offered
her a trial on an afternoon tele-
vision program in which she
advised on love, marriage, sex
and child-rearing.

WILKES-BARRE With
his wife holding the Bible and
Luzerne County Judge Wil-
liam Amesbury administering
the oath, the Rev. Shawn Walk-
er became Wilkes-Barre Area
School Boards rst minority
member at Mondays monthly
meeting, evoking applause
and a lot of handshaking.
Walker sat quietly for most
of the meeting, saying after-
wards that there was a lot to
learn, and I learned a lot. He
generally voted with the board
on what were mostly unani-
mous votes, but broke ranks
twice, abstaining from a vote
to have the district remain in
the Northeast Pennsylvania
School District Health Trust,
and casting the lone no vote
on the hiring of Mary Molly
Rosencrans as a cafeteria cook.
Board member Maryanne
Toole abstained on that vote
and said Rosencrans is a cous-
in of her late husband. Walker
said he voted against the hir-
ing because she wasnt the
top recommendation.
Walker said he abstained
from the health trust vote be-
cause he felt he didnt know
enough about the issue. The
trust is a consortium of area
districts formed in 1999 to
curb health insurance cost,
but it has come under increas-
ing attacks in recent years by
some members. Nine member
districts, including Wilkes-
Barre Area, gave a required
one-years notice last June that
they intended to withdraw at
the end of this June.
Business Manager Leonard
Przywara told the board the
trust had contacted him and
asked that the board make a
nal determination on that
withdrawal. Board member
Christine Katsock questioned
if any effort had been made to
nd an alternative insurer, and
Toole, who was board presi-
dent last June, said she had
appointed a committee but
apparently nothing had been
done.
Most board members agreed
they had little choice but to
remain in the trust, though
Katsock still voted no. The
board then immediately voted
to send a new letter to the
trust saying the district might
withdraw at the end of June
2014, with Katsock urging
that alternative insurance op-
tions be looked into this time.
Otherwise this is an exercise
in futility.
In other business:
The board voted to ban
construction of any more
storage sheds at Memorial
Stadium, and to require any
group to use cooking facili-
ties already at the stadium
and not bring in any grills or
other items requiring tanked
fuel. Board member Lynn Ev-
ans has complained repeatedly
that re risks were being cre-
ated by the storage of propane
tanks at the eld.
Acting Superintendent
Bernard Prevuznak announced
the state Department of Edu-
cation awarded the district
a $177,472 fresh fruits and
vegetables grant to be used in
four elementary schools.
The board awarded a
garbage removal services
contract to low bidder J.P.
Mascaro & Sons for next year
at a total cost of $71,426, ap-
proved more than 250 sports
equipment purchases totaling
$67,813 and gave the annual
boiler service contract to Me-
chanical Service Co. for a low
bid rate of $13,355.
And the board approved a
legal settlement agreement
with an unnamed teacher
that terminates the employee
as of April 8 while providing
severance pay equal to the re-
mainder of her 2012-13 salary,
promises a neutral employ-
ment reference giving only
date of hire, salary, position
and separation date, and ex-
punging the employees per-
sonnel record le of disciplin-
ary charges or the employers
investigations regarding em-
ployees alleged misconduct.

LEHMAN TWP. Lake-
Lehman School Board voted
6-2, with one member absent,
on Monday to approve the dis-
tricts 2013-14 budget that calls
for a tax increase.
The proposed $27 million
budget calls for a millage rate
of 9.671 for taxpayers living in
Luzerne County and a millage
rate of 51.1882 for those living
in Wyoming County. A mill is
a $1 tax on each $1,000 of as-
sessed property value.
The budget includes excep-
tions that permitted the dis-
trict to raise taxes above what
was initially allowed by the
state under Act 1.
After the meeting, board
member Bo Kreller said he vot-
ed against the tax hike because
he is hearing that taxpayers
are tired of tax increases every
year.
Theyre tired of having to
pay the highest rate allowed,
he said. I believe there are
other areas where we can be
cutting.
Karen Masters joined Kreller
in voting against the proposed
budget. I feel the same. There
are other concessions we can
make.
She said the economy is forc-
ing residents to be taxed out of
their homes.
All other board members,
including Mark Kornoski, Rich-
ard Bombick, Kevin Carey, Da-
vid Paulauskas, Andrew Salko
and Walter Glogowski voted
for the budget. James Welby
was absent.
The board also unanimously
approved a new bond issue.
When a resident questioned
the move, ofcials explained
the bond issue had a two-fold
purpose: to save taxpayer mon-
ey by renancing district debt
at a lower rate and to improve
energy efciency at the district.
Over the 15-year period of the
loan, the energy efciency proj-
ect guarantees a net payback of
$400 thousand including the
debt service on the loan, dis-
trict ofcials said.
In other matters:
A group of high school
sophomores questioned the
elimination of the humanities
class from the curriculum. Di-
rector of Curriculum Instruc-
tion and Assessment Tracey
Halowich said that the humani-
ties program no longer t the
needs of the younger high
school students who would be
taking Keystone tests based
on government and American
history rather than the course
matter of the world history-
based humanities course.
The board recognized the
retirement of Lake-Lehman
Elementary School principal
Marilyn Glogowski.
The next regular meeting
will be on June 27 at 7 p.m. in
the library of the Junior-Senior
High School.

avich said, and then perhaps

The borough will also be ac-
cepting phone bids for a road
repair at Cherrywood and Dog-
wood drives.
Neal-Lynn Inc. was awarded
the contract for repair of a
manhole rim on Main Street,
with a bid of $1,251.
In another matter, resident
Bob Pinkus asked council to
clarify signage warning resi-
dents of an upcoming trafc
light on Route 315. Council
will be referring this concern
to the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Transportation
Also, council approved the
hiring of Steven Warner, Wil-
liam Hizny and Chris Halecki
as part-time re drivers.
We are not increasing the
size of the department, said
Benderavich, rather attaining
a full complement with these
additions.
Mayor Dorothy Yazurlo said
the borough-wide yard sale
will be on June 22.
Our residents requested
this, said Yazurlo, and we
hope that it is a real success.
She also applauded the ef-
forts of re and police depart-
ments.
As you know, I am not in
favor of contracting out our po-
lice department, said Yazurlo.
I dont have a vote on this, but
I do have a voice.
After its regular meeting,

sion.

cil will be on June 10 at 6 p.m.

WILKES-BARRE Luzerne
County prosecutors said Joseph
Derhammer talked to investigators
about a re that claimed the lives of
a mother and her daughter in April
2009.
It is what Derhammer, 42, did not
say that prosecutors want to offer as
evidence to a jury.
Derhammers trial on two counts
of criminal homicide and four
counts of arson is scheduled to be-
gin with jury selection next week.
City police and county detectives
allege Derhammer set the blaze at
46 Chester St., Wilkes-Barre, killing
Nancy Kostelnick, 48, and Carolyn
Kostelnick, 23, on
April 13, 2009.
I nvest i gat ors
said Derhammer
set the re on a
rear porch because
he was angry Nan-
cy Kostelnick had
thrown him out
two weeks earlier. The two had a
relationship despite Nancy Kostel-
nicks marriage to Joseph Kostel-
nick, who also lived in the house.
While city reghters extin-
guished the blaze, Derhammer ap-
proached city Assistant Chief Don-
ald Crane, now retired, at the scene.
Derhammer was questioned about
the blaze, but, prosecutors say, did
not ask about the welfare of Nancy
Kostelnick and her daughter.
Derhammers alleged silence
about the two women is what pros-
ecutors want to offer the jury.
His attorneys, William Watt and
Thomas Marsilio, are challenging
the introduction of the silent evi-
dence.
Pre-arrest silence cannot be
used, Watt told Judge Joseph
Sklarosky Jr. Statements he did not
make that will be used against him
is a violation of his rights.
The lack of an inquiry by the
defendant is relevant to show his
guilt, countered Assistant District
Attorney Mary Hanlon Mirabito,
who along with Assistant District
Attorney Nancy Violi, is prosecuting
Derhammer.
Mirabito said it was Derhammer
who initiated contact with police
when he approached Crane at the
scene.
He never asked what happened
at the house, Mirabito said.
Sklarosky said he will make a rul-
ing on the matter today.
It is likely prosecutors or Derham-
mers attorneys will appeal the rul-
ing, which would delay the trial.
WILKES-BARRE City police in-
vestigating a man who was beaten and
robbed of his cellphone Monday after-
noon stormed a Barney Street house
at gunpoint, detaining ve and arrest-
ing one person.
Police said the victim, whose name
was not released, was attacked by two
men on Wood Street just before 2 p.m.
He was pistol-whipped by his attack-
ers and his cellphone was stolen.
Police were led to a house at 19 Bar-
ney St., just around the corner from
where the man was assaulted and
robbed.
Armed with assault ries, police
and Luzerne County sheriff deputies
stormed the house and took three
men and two women into custody.
They were handcuffed and placed on
the sidewalk face down while police
continued to search the house.
Police later removed the handcuffs
from the two women, who were told
to sit on the curb.
The victim was in an ambulance be-
ing treated by city paramedics. Police
escorted the three men separately to
an ambulance window where the vic-
tim tried to identify his attackers.
One of the men was taken away in a
cruiser while police released the oth-
ers. Police did not immediately say
why the man was being arrested.
Police called the victims cellphone
in an attempt to locate it inside the
Barney Street house. The calls went
directly to voice mail, police said.
The victims cellphone was not
found inside the house.
The cellphone robbery on Wood
Street is the fourth in recent days in
Wilkes-Barre.
Cellphones were stolen from two
college students one from Kings
College on Jackson Street and the
other from Wilkes University on West
Northampton Street on May 7. The
two students were assaulted sustain-
ing minor injuries, police said.
Another person was robbed of his
cellphone and assaulted in the area of
Hanover Street and Old River Road
Friday night.
HANOVER TWP. As the num-
ber of students attending college has
grown and the way those students at-
tain nancial aid has changed, student
loan provider Sallie Mae has been able
to adapt and evolve over its four de-
cades in business. On Monday, com-
pany ofcials and some of its longest-
tenured employees marked the rms
40th anniversary.
When Sallie Mae, formally known
as SLM Corp., opened its doors May
13, 1973, in Washington, D.C., as a
government-sponsored start-up it had
just seven employees. Today, Sallie
Mae has grown to become the nations
largest nancial services company
specializing in education with more
than 7,000 employees, including 900
locally.
The growth meant the need for loan
servicing and call centers to open na-
tionwide. Sallie Mae began operations
in 1987 at the former Faith Shoe facto-
ry on Beekman Street in South Wilkes-
Barre with 21,000 square feet of space
and at the end of its rst year of opera-
tions, there were 48 employees at the
center who serviced 53,000 accounts.
Today Sallie Mae handles 3.2 million
accounts company wide.
The Wilkes-Barre employees relo-
cated to a newly built center in the Ha-
nover Industrial Estates in 1990 and
its workforce grew to 350.
Today Sallie Mae employs 900 peo-
ple at its center in Hanover Township
and is looking to add to that total.
Lisa Stashik, vice president and
center head for Sallie Maes Hanover
Township location, noted that every
single loan payment made by check is
mailed to the Hanover Township facil-
ity. And as more loans are originated
and more offerings are provided by the
company, the growth of jobs is there.
She has been with the company
since 1988 and said the company con-
tinues to stick with its original vision
of making sure families have access to
money to pay for higher education.
As the company has grown, its also
changed from an entity processing
government-originated loans to one
that now originates its own private
loans. SLM Corp. is a publicly held,
private-sector corporation, governed
by a board elected by shareholders.
The company began privatizing its op-
DALLAS TWP. Dallas School
District ofcials took a little time
Monday to crow about their latest
accomplishment: The high school
landed on the Best 2,000 public high
schools list compiled by Newsweek
and The Daily Beast.
Its the only school in Luzerne
County to make the list, and only one
of 77 statewide to get the honor.
The rankings are intended to high-
light schools that have proven to
be the most effective in turning out
college-ready grads, according to the
The Daily Beast/Newsweek website.
Six components were given different
weight in compiling the rankings.
Graduation rate, college acceptance
rate and Advanced Placement tests
(or similar college-level tests) taken
per student were each worth 25 per-
cent of the nal score.
The remainder was calculated us-
ing average SAT and ACT scores (10
percent), average scores in Advance
Placement or similar tests (10 per-
cent) and percent of students enrolled
in at least one AP or similar course.
With 94 percent of its students grad-
uating in four years and 88 percent
of them heading to college, Dallas
scored 2.8 out of a possible 5.0. That
put the high school at 63rd in the state
and 1,451 nationwide.
Superintendent Frank Galicki and
High School Principal Jeffrey Shaffer
held a brief press conference Monday
morning to tout the schools achieve-
ment.
I think its a credit for all of the Dal-
las School District faculty and staff,
K to 12, Galicki said. We have high
expectations and we demand excel-
lence.
The district doesnt intend to sit on
this laurel, Galicki said. Our goal is to
be in the top 25.

HARRISBURG
Resolution honors slain guard
The state House of Representatives
on Monday honored the life of Eric
Williams, a federal corrections guard
from Nanticoke who was killed by
an inmate at the U.S. Penitentiary in
Canaan Township in February.
Williams parents, Donald and
Jean, and his sister, Lauren, were in
the House chamber for the vote and
received an ovation after they were
recognized by Speaker Sam Smith.
House Resolution 177, which was
introduced by Rep. Gerald Mullery,
D-Newport Township, received unani-
mous approval.
Williams, 34, was killed by an
inmate who assaulted him with a
homemade weapon. The attack hap-
pened as Williams was preparing to
lock inmates in their cells for a nightly
head count. A federal judge has identi-
ed Jessie Con-ui, a gang member and
convicted murderer from Arizona, as
the suspect in Williams death. No
charges have been led so far in his
death.

was an accidental shooting of a young
child Sunday evening.
Police were called to a residence on
Wayne Street shortly before 7 p.m. on
a report that a child had been injured
in a shooting.
City spokesman Drew McLaughlin
said police are not releasing the childs
name.

HARRISBURG
Senate mulls armory bill
The state Senate could vote this
week on House Bill 1112, legislation
that would pave the way for the sale
of a dozen armories in Pennsylvania
including the Watres Armory in Scran-
ton and the Berwick Armory.
The state House approved the bill
last month with a unanimous vote and
sent it to the Senate.
The bill would permit the states
Department of General Services to
sell the former Pennsylvania National
Guard properties.
Among the armories authorized
to be sold if the bill becomes law are
those in Altoona, Bellefonte, Bradford,
Sunbury, Tyrone, Lancaster, Ridgway,
Waynesboro and Huntingdon.
The Watres Armory an Adams
Avenue and Serrenti Memorial Army
Reserve Center on Colfax Avenue in
Scranton were closed in 2012, along
with an additional Army Reserve
center in Wilkes-Barre, replaced by
the $25 million, 125,000-square foot

CLEVELAND An impos-
ing, 10-foot privacy fence has
been erected to guard the home
of Cleveland rape and kidnap-
ping suspect Ariel Castro, with
windows and doors boarded
shut to keep people out of the
place that police say was once
meant only to keep people in.
Patrol cars were still parked
across the entrances to the
block on Monday to keep away
onlookers.
The run-down house has
become a two-story piece of
evidence in
the abduction
and imprison-
ment case of
three women,
but neighbors
who remain
shaken by
the horrors
alleged inside
want it torn down and erased
from the landscape of Seymour
Avenue.
The girls that was in that
house, when they ride by there,
if they ever ride by there again,
they wont have to see that, to
remind them or maybe scare
them, said Johnny Wright,
54, who can see the back of
the house from his front door.
What they went through, I
dont think any human being
should ever been through that.
Thehouseandwhat becomes
of it will be a daily talking point
for the Seymour community, as
city ofcials deal with the irony
of keeping the dreaded site of
the womens imprisonment
safe while neighbors almost
uniformly want it torn down.
The issue isnt simple.
First and foremost, the house
is evidence against Castro, who
investigators say kept the wom-
en in chains in a basement be-
fore eventually allowing them
to live under close control up-
stairs. The 6-year-old daughter
of one victim, Amanda Berry,
was also freed; DNA tests
showed Castro was her father,
a dark twist on years of captiv-
ity during which Castro is also
alleged to have induced mul-
tiple miscarriages in one of the
women by repeatedly punching
her belly.
Workers over the weekend
began boarding up windows
and doors and erecting a metal
fence around the house.
The plywood and fence have
a two-fold purpose, Council-
man Brian Cummins said: pre-
serving the scene as evidence
and protecting it from the
threats already circulating on
the streets to burn it down in a
stroke of vigilante justice.
The issue is how do we
respect the wishes of the sur-
vivors in this case, and its too
premature to know what their
wishes would be, said Cum-
mins, whosewardencompasses
the property andwho is inclose
contact with police and city of-
cials about the situation.
Theres precedent for tearing
down scenes of terrible crimes.
In 2011, Cleveland tore down
a house on the citys east side
where 11 women were killed
over several years by a serial
killer nowon death row.
But rst it served as evi-
dence against Anthony Sowell:
In June 2011, jurors walked
through the house wearing face
masks to ward off the smell of
decay as Sowells trial got un-
derway.
That house also had to be
protected before trial from peo-
ple furious at Sowell.
PHILADELPHIA A Philadelphia
abortion doctor was found guilty Mon-
day of rst-degree murder and could
face execution in the deaths of three ba-
bies who authorities say were delivered
alive and then killed with scissors at
his grimy clinic, in a case that became
a ashpoint in the nations debate over
abortion.
Dr. Kermit Gosnell, 72, was cleared
in the death of a fourth baby, who pros-
ecutors say let out a soft whimper be-
fore he snipped its neck.
Gosnell was also found guilty of in-
voluntary manslaughter in the drug-
overdose death of a patient who had
undergone an abortion.
Gosnell appeared hopeful before the
verdict and calm afterward; jurors and
lawyers on both sides were more emo-
tional.
The jury will return today to hear ev-
idence on whether Gosnell should get
the death penalty.
Former clinic employees testied
that Gosnell routinely performed illegal
late-term abortions past Pennsylvanias
24-week limit, that he delivered babies
who were still moving, whimpering or
breathing, and that he and his assis-
tants snipped the newborns spines,
as he referred to it.
Are you human? prosecutor Ed
Cameron snarled during closing argu-
ments as Gosnell sat calmly at the de-
fense table. To med these women up
and stick knives in the backs of babies?
Four former clinic employees have
pleaded guilty to murder and four more
to other charges.
They include Gosnells wife, Pearl,
a cosmetologist who helped perform
abortions.

LAS VEGAS
Simpson wants new trial
The shackles and blue prison garb
seemed to weigh down O.J. Simpson
as he returned to a Las Vegas court-
room on Monday to ask for a new trial
in the armed robbery-kidnapping case
that sent him to prison in 2008.
Looking grayer and heavier, the
65-year-old former football star and
TV pitchman was anked by guards as
he nodded and raised his eyebrows to
acknowledge people he recognized in
the audience.
A marshal had warned onlookers
not to try to communicate with Simp-
son, and no words were exchanged.
Simpson, now more than four years
into a minimum nine-year prison term,
will be in court all week to claim that
he had poor legal representation in the
trial involving the gunpoint robbery
of two sports memorabilia dealers in
2007 in a Las Vegas hotel room.
DETROIT
Man jailed for pressure cooker
The nephew of a Saudi man ar-
rested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport
says the case is a misunderstanding,
and that the pressure cooker his uncle
was bringing for him so he could make
lamb.
Nasser Almarzooq told The Associ-
ated Press on Monday that hed asked
his uncle, Hussain Al Khawahir, to
bring him a pressure cooker because
the ones he bought in the U.S. didnt
work.
Two pressure cookers were used in
last months Boston Marathon bomb-
ings.
Almarzooq says hes concerned
about his uncle and hasnt been told
anything since his Saturday arrest.
Almarzooq goes to the University of
Toledo and says his uncle was coming
to visit him for a couple weeks.
Al Khawahir is accused of using a
passport with a missing page and mak-
ing false statements about why he was
traveling with the pressure cooker.
CENTENNIAL, COLO.
Holmes to plead insanity
One of James Holmes lawyers
asked a judge on Monday to change
his plea to not guilty by reason of
insanity in the Colorado theater shoot-
ings.
Such a plea is seen as his best hope
of avoiding the death penalty in the
killings of 12 people at a packed mid-
night showing of The Dark Knight
Rises in Aurora.
Changing the plea still carries risks
for Holmes but moving in that direc-
tion now allows them to challenge
some of the problems they see with
Colorados laws on insanity and the
death penalty.
TRIPOLI, LIByA
Car bombing kills 3-10
A deadly car bomb exploded
Monday near a hospital in a busy area
packed with civilians in the eastern
Libyan city of Benghazi, destroying
part of the facility, ofcials said.
Ofcials gave conicting casualty
gures, with death tolls ranging from
three to 10 in the chaotic aftermath of
the attack.
Benghazi, which was the birthplace
of the revolution that led to the ouster
of dictator Moammar Gadha, has
suffered a series of assassinations
and other attacks, including the Sept.
11 assaults on the U.S. diplomatic
mission that killed Ambassador Chris
Stevens and three other Americans.
The oil-rich North African nation
is still largely dominated by militias,
many including ghters who battled
Gadhas forces during the 2011 civil
war, and many attacks are blamed on
them as inghting is rampant in the
battle for control.

Death toll at 1,127 after factory tragedy
SAVAR, Bangladesh Several major
Western brands embraced a safety plan
that requires retailers to help pay for
factory improvements in Bangladesh,
where the three-week search for bodies
at the site of the worlds worst garment-
industry disaster ended Monday with
the death toll at 1,127.
The collapse on April 24 of the Rana
Plaza factory building focused world-
wide attention on the hazardous condi-
tions in Bangladeshs low-cost garment
industry and strengthened pressure for
reforms.
Bangladeshs government also
agreed Monday to allow garment
workers to form trade unions without
permission from factory owners. That
decision came a day after it announced
a plan to raise the minimum wage for
garment workers.
Swedish retailing giant H&M, the
largest purchaser of Bangladesh gar-
ments, and Britains Primark Stores
announced Monday that they have ac-
cepted a legally binding re and build-
ing safety plan drawn up by Bangla-
deshi and international labor groups.
The plan would establish an indepen-
dent inspectorate to oversee factories,
with powers to shut down unsafe facili-
ties and require renovations nanced in
part by Western retailers.
The Clean Clothes Campaign, which
seeks better working conditions in
the global garment industry, praised
H&Ms decision, saying it would pres-
sure other retailers to sign the plan.
The agreement was signed earlier
by two other companies PVH, the
owner of the Tommy Hilger and Cal-
vin Klein brands, and German retailer
Tchibo. Others, however, had refused
to sign because the plan was legally
binding and costly.
Primark is one of the few retailers
that have acknowledged that its clothes
were being made by factories in the
Rana Plaza building at the time of the
collapse. Working conditions in the $20
billion industry are grim. Minimum
wages for garment workers are among
the lowest in the world at 3,000 takas
($38) a month.
Mohammed Amir Hossain Mazum-
der, deputy director of re service and
civil defense, said the search for bodies
at Rana Plaza was called off Monday.

WASHINGTON High-tech
companies looking to bring
more skilled workers to the
U.S. pushed Monday for more
concessions in an immigration
bill pending in the Senate. La-
bor unions said the Silicon Val-
ley had already gotten enough
in the legislation and further
changes risked chipping away at
protections for U.S. workers.
The clash is set to play out in
a Capitol Hill hearing room this
week as the Senate Judiciary
Committee resumes consider-
ation of amendments to sweep-
ing legislation remaking the na-
tions immigration system.
At issue are the highly sought-
after H-1B visas that allow com-
panies like Google and Micro-
soft to bring workers to the U.S.
to ll job openings for engineers,
computer software experts, and
other positions where employ-
ers say theres a shortage of U.S.
workers. The legislation increas-
es the number of these visas that
are available, but also adds in a
number of restrictions designed
to ensure U.S. workers get a rst
shot at jobs.
Those protections were cham-
pioned by Sen. Dick Durbin,
D-Ill., a Judiciary Committee
member whos also part of the
bipartisan Gang of Eight sena-
tors who authored the immigra-
tion legislation.
But high-tech companies have
their own champion on the Ju-
diciary Committee: Republican
Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, whos
prepared a slew of amendments
to help their cause.
Hatch is seen as a potential
swing vote on the immigration
bill so backers of the legislation,
who are working assiduously to
ensure their bill passes the Sen-
ate with as many votes as pos-
sible, would like to court his
support. But Durbin opposes
Hatchs efforts and he and other
Democrats are under pressure
from organized labor not to go
along.
We deemed the current lan-
guage in the bill to be the com-
promise. After all, high tech got
an awful lot of what it wanted,
including the visa limit going
up nearly threefold, said Tom
Snyder, immigration campaign
manager for the AFL-CIO. Now
they want to compromise the
compromise.
Robert Hoffman, senior vice
president for government affairs
at the Information Technology
Industry Council, said that the
changes sought by Hatch, whose
state is increasingly becoming a
major high-tech employer, most-
ly amount to mechanical xes to
ensure the high-tech provisions
work to boost economic growth
and job creation in the U.S.

Deeply missed and Forever
Loved by Family & Friends
Dear Wes and Dad,
Happy 66th Birthday in Heaven.
I thought of you today, But that is
nothing new. I thought about you
yesterday, and days before that
too. I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name. All I have
are memories. And a picture in a
frame. Your memory is a keepsake,
from which Ill never part.
God has you in his arms, I have
you in my heart.

HANOVER TWP. Commis-
sioners paid off the 2013 tax
anticipation loan at Monday
nights meeting.
Commissioners said this is
the second consecutive year
that the township has paid off
its tax anticipation loan early.
The $905,000 loan was due in
December of this year, but by
paying it off seven months ear-
ly, the township saved $3,400,
commissioners said.
It was a good job by every-
one involved, said Commis-
sioner Chairman Albert Ba-
gusky.
Bagusky said by paying
the 2012 and 2013 loans off
early, the township saved ap-
proximately $12,000 in interest
charges.
In other business, the com-
missioners:
Are working on a cost shar-
ing agreement with Wilkes-
Barre Township and Ashley for
maintaining the main sewer
line that ows through Ha-
nover. Commissioners didnt
have details of agreement at
the meeting but will hold a spe-
cial meeting at 6PM on May 23
to discuss the subject.
Approved a settlement
upon the recommendation
of the townships insurance
carrier with Michelle Jones.
Township Solicitor Matt Davi-
son said the settlement stipu-
lates no wrong doing on the
part of the township and that a
non-disclosure agreement pre-
vented the release of further
details. Commissioners Wil-
liam Howatt and Jeffrey Lewis
voted against the settlement.
Welcomed Gabriel Metric
as the townships newest re
truck driver. He was sworn in
by District Justice Joseph Ha-
lesey.
Will submit a loan applica-
tion to the US Department of
Agriculture for $1 million to
construct the centralized re
station along the Sans Souci
Parkway.
Approved a $100,000 pay-
ment to Ed Krasavage Con-
struction for emergency sewer
work at the Solomons Creek-

when the funds are received
form FEMA.

PEACE AND JUSTICE CENTER AWARDS 4
AMANDA HRYCYNA/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
K
ate Gibbons gives Naed Smith a hug after presenting him with the Susan Mer-
rill Constance Kozel Award at the 20th annual Peace and Justice Awards din-
ner at Best Western Genetti Hotel & Conference Center in Wilkes-Barre on Monday
night. Every year, the Peace and Justice Center, located on North Franklin Street
in Wilkes-Barre, recognizes individuals in the community for their work, ideals and
commitment to making their community and their world more peaceful and just. Also
recognized Monday were Arisa Gereda with the Student for Peace Award, Nancy Frey
with the David Frey Community Service for Peace Award and Esau Foster, who was a
co-honoree of the Susan Merrill Constance Kozel Award.
WASHINGTON The Jus-
tice Department secretly ob-
tained two months of telephone
records of reporters and editors
for The Associated Press in
what the news cooperatives top
executive called a massive and
unprecedented intrusion into
how news organizations gather
the news.
The records obtained by the
Justice Department listed in-
coming and outgoing calls, and
the duration of each call, for
the work and personal phone
numbers of individual report-
ers, general AP ofce numbers
in New York, Washington and
Hartford, Conn., and the main
number for AP reporters in the
House of Representatives press
gallery, according to attorneys
for the AP.
In all, the government seized
those records for more than
20 separate telephone lines as-
signed to AP and its journalists
in April and May of 2012. The
exact number of journalists who
used the phone lines during that
period is unknown but more
than 100 journalists work in the
ofces whose phone records
were targeted on a wide array
of stories about government and
other matters.
In a letter of protest sent to At-
torney General Eric Holder on
Monday, AP President and Chief
Executive Ofcer Gary Pruitt
said the government sought and
obtained information far beyond
anything that could be justied
by any specic investigation.
He demanded the return of the
phone records and destruction
of all copies.
There can be no possible jus-
tication for such an overbroad
collection of the telephone com-
munications of The Associated
Press and its reporters. These
records potentially reveal com-
munications with condential
sources across all of the news-
gathering activities undertaken
by the AP during a two-month
period, provide a road map to
APs newsgathering operations,
and disclose information about
APs activities and operations
that the government has no con-
ceivable right to know, Pruitt
said.
The government would not
say why it sought the records.
U.S. ofcials have previously
said in public testimony that
the U.S. attorney in Washing-
ton is conducting a criminal in-
vestigation into who may have
leaked information contained in
a May 7, 2012, AP story about
a foiled terror plot. The story
disclosed details of a CIA op-
eration in Yemen that stopped
an al-Qaida plot in the spring of
2012 to detonate a bomb on an
airplane bound for the United
States.
News organization demands
return of documents and de-
struction of all copies.

Dallas Schools reconsider bus pact
WEST WYOMING Bor-
ough Councilman Gil Ather-
holt tendered his resignation
Monday because he and his
wife are moving outside of the
borough.
I thank all of you for elect-
ing me in the rst place and
putting up with me for three
and a half years, he told resi-
dents at the council meeting.
Atherholt said council has
always worked as a team and
that the borough has come a
long way in recent years.
In other business, Council-
man Geno Leoni said there
have been reports that people
have been parking on the new
sidewalks along West Eighth
Street. The sidewalks were in-
stalled as part of the West Side
Trail project.
Leoni said parking on the
sidewalks is a violation of the
boroughs ordinance, and after
an initial warning, offenders
will be ticketed.
We want to keep it safe
for the pedestrians, he said.
We dont want them to have
to walk on the roadway to get
around a car.
Borough Engineer Mike Am-
ato commended property own-
ers for being patient during the
construction of the walks.

Atherholt resigns West Wyoming council
DALLAS TWP. In the
face of an over-packed meeting
room and intense public opin-
ion, the Dallas School Board
on Monday unanimously voted
to reconsider proposals for dis-
trict busing services.
The board had voted 5-3
on May 5 to switch from the
Dallas-based, longtime pro-
vider Emanuels Bus Line to
G. Davis Inc. of Pike County
to save $83,000 a year over a
ve-year contract. The move
would have switched service
from diesel-fueled buses to a
propane-fueled eet.
While much of the criti-
cism centered on the safety
concerns regarding propane-
powered buses, the emphasis
was placed on the potential
criminal record of a G. Davis
employee and the impact it
would have on Dallas bus busi-
ness owner Jeff Emanuel and
his employees.
Thirteen residents from dif-
ferent communities within the
district had spoken out against
the change before the board
temporarily retired for an ex-
ecutive session and then came
back to vote to reconsider pro-
posals.
G. Davis and Emanuel will
now both be eligible to resub-
mit their proposals by noon
Friday. A public hearing to
award the contract will be held
at the Dallas High School Au-
ditorium on Thursday, May 23
at 5 p.m.
There will be time for public
comment at that meeting, but
district ofcials said that there
will be strictly enforced time
limits.
District Superintendent
Frank Gallicki said board mem-
bers and administrators will
need to attend a high school
awards banquet at 6 p.m. that
same day.
The proposals will be up-
loaded onto the districts web-
site, www.dallassd.com as of
Monday, May 20.
Most of the comments made
by parents of Dallas students
centered on a G. Davis Inc. em-
ployee who might have harmed
a child in the past.
Board President Richard Co-
slett acknowledged there was a
person with a criminal record
associated with G. Davis, but
neither he nor any other dis-
trict ofcial would mention the
employees name, job function
or the nature of the crime.
He did, however, promise
that the company was thor-
oughly vetted.
Board Solicitor Benjamin
Jones said language could be
added to the contract that
would prevent the person from
entering into a situation where
he or she would come into con-
tact with any Dallas student.
These statements, however,
were met with skepticism from
residents that attended the
meeting.
We cannot base our decision
on the question of this persons
crime, board member Colleen
Slocum said. When she added
that its none of our business,
the audience erupted with dis-
approval.
Additionally, many criticized
the board for the potential
harm this will have on Eman-
uel, which is a local business,
contributing tax revenue di-
rectly to the district.
Trucksville resident and
Dallas High School graduate
Robert Hivish, the current Ber-
wick borough manager, said
service changes like this only
typically come when there are
problems.
We should not be trying
to x things that are not bro-
ken, he said with regard to the
quality of service provided by
Emanuel.
Additionally, a number of
parents as well as Emanuel bus
drivers addressed the board
to state their doubts that driv-
ers employed by G. Davis will
bring the same, local, personal-
ized care.
The next board meeting will
be May 23 at 5 p.m.

erations in 1997 and completed
that change by the end of 2004.
In 2009, Sallie Mae began to
service federal loans on behalf
of the U.S. Department of Edu-
cation. After the federal govern-
ment ended the Federal Fam-
ily Education Loan Program in
2010, it eliminated subsidies
paid to private lenders and
banks that originated loans for
college students in 2010.
Sallie Mae refocused its busi-
ness to emphasize its consumer
lending and business services
segments. In the transition, its
private-loan originations in-
creased. The company and its
subsidiaries manage or service
$234 billion in education loans
and administer $38 billion in
529 college savings plans.
In addition, it has also ex-
panded by acquiring and en-
hancing its own offerings.
In 2006, Sallie Mae ac-
quired Upromise and Upromise
Investments, which allows
people who sign up to pay off
their student loan by making
purchases of select products.
To date, Americans have earned
nearly $750 million in Upromise
rewards to boost their college
savings accounts, the company
says.
And, in 2011, Sallie Mae
expanded its college savings
initiatives with retail banking
products high-yield savings
accounts and CDs through Sal-
lie Mae Bank.
The company, now headquar-
tered in Newark, Del., has 17
locations nationwide, although
though the Hanover Township
center is the second largest in
terms of employees.
When workers arrived Mon-
day in the Hanover Township
center, they were greeted by 900
cupcakes, each with the number
40 written with icing onto the
frosting.
Stashik, a Shickshinny native,
said the regions work ethic was
responsible for Sallie Mae locat-
ing here in 1987 and has helped
keep this branch open while
some others have closed.
WILKES-BARRE An
inmate at the Hazleton MinSec
Community Correctional Facil-
ity was sentenced Monday in
Luzerne County Court on an
escape charge.
Judge David Lupas sentenced
John Knowles, 45, to two to
four years in state prison.
State police said Knowles
was transported from the com-
munity correctional facility
to Hazleton General Hospital
for chest pain on July 7, 2012.
Knowles left the hospital and
failed to return to the facility on
West Broad Street, according to
the criminal complaint.
Court records indicate
Knowles was sentenced in
Chester County to three to six
years on a robbery conviction.
He was transferred to MinSec
in June 2012.
WILKES-BARRE A
Mocanaqua man pleaded guilty
Monday in Luzerne County
Court to making methamphet-
amine in his residence and at a
house in Pittston.
Kevin Hall, 39, last known
address as Hill Street, pleaded
guilty to possession with intent
to deliver methamphetamine
and manufacturing metham-
phetamine.
Judge Fred Pierantoni III said
Hall will be sentenced on July
23.
Agents with the state Ofce
of Attorney Generals Bureau
of Narcotics Investigation said
Hall allowed his residence on
Hill Street to be used as a meth
lab to cook the drug in Janu-
ary 2012. During the cooking
process, a re erupted in the
basement, according to the
criminal complaint.
Pittston police and the state
drug agents alleged Hall, while
out on bail on the meth charges
in Mocanaqua, continued to
cook the drug at a residence
that caught on re on Tomp-
kins Street on Sept. 26, the
complaint says.
Hall suffered injuries from
the re. He was arrested when
police found him hiding in
a cemetery near Tompkins
Street.

COURT BRIEFS
POTTSVILLE Fire tore
through a familys home on
Mothers Day, authorities said,
killing four young children,
their father and another relative
while their mother was across
the street doing laundry at a
friends house.
The blaze broke out around
11:55 p.m. Sunday at the sin-
gle-family home in Pottsville.
Fireghters later found all of
the bodies on the third oor of
the building, which sits on a
steep hillside not far from the
D.G. Yuengling & Son brewery
in Pennsylvanias coal country,
about 90 miles northwest of
Philadelphia.
The re was declared under
control shortly before 1 a.m.
State police re marshals were
sifting through the debris later
Monday morning and authori-
ties were searching for the cause
of the blaze, which investigators
say began in the kitchen.
Fire Chief Todd March said it
was the deadliest blaze in Potts-
ville, a city of about 14,000, his
37-year career in Pottsville.
Its hard to take, and there
was nothing we could do, he
said.

Editorial
W
HETHER THE
House investiga-
tion into the attack
on the U.S. consul-
ate in Benghazi, Libya, is a po-
litical witch hunt aimed at for-
mer Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton and her possible run for
president in 2016, as Democrats
allege, or a principled effort to
uncover a shocking scandal on
par with Watergate, as Repub-
licans seem to believe, further
review of what happened that
night in Libya appears to be a
worthwhile pursuit.
Thats not to suggest the
American people should buy
the narrative presented by
Darrell Issa, chairman of the
House Committee on Over-
sight and Government Reform,
that theres been some grand,
conspiratorial cover-up before,
during or after that fateful
night. Many of the events seem
shrouded in the fog of chaos and
violence, differing rec-
ollections and perspec-
tives, simple misinfor-
mation and, yes, some
political spin from the
Obama administration.
Indeed, when wit-
nesses are allowed to
speak freely of what
they know of events
and House Republicans
arent frothing at the
mouth to try to spin
matters in a preferred
direction, the testimo-
ny can be compelling.
That was certainly the
case Wednesday when
veteran Foreign Ser-
vice ofcer Gregory
Hicks described details
of Sept. 11, 2012, from his per-
spective in Tripoli including
his frustrations with how it was
handled.
But Issa and others were so
anxious to tar and feather Clin-
ton or President Barack Obama
that they focused much of their
effort on delivering prefabri-
cated talking points and not on
what should be the essence of
their quest determining what
mistakes were made and how to
secure U.S. consulates, embas-
sies and missions from similar
attacks in the future.
After all, the administrations
initial idea that the attack might
have been connected to concur-
rent protests in Cairo over a lm
that negatively depicted the
prophet Muhammad was not
exactly a leap. Such demonstra-
tions were happening elsewhere,
and other State Department fa-
cilities believed themselves at
risk as a result. Only later was
it rmly established that the at-
tack at Benghazi had no connec-
tion to those uprisings.
Admittedly, its clear some
people recognized the true na-
ture of the incident much sooner
than others and they look a
lot smarter today, thanks to the
benet of hindsight. Was there a
deliberate cover-up for the pur-
poses of downplaying terrorism
and thereby assisting President
Obamas re-election? That case
has not been made convincingly
anywhere other than in Issas
mind. To quote a well-worn cli-
che, there is no smoking gun.
What was worth noting in
Hicks testimony, however,
was the possibility that he was
punished for cooperating with
House investigators without a
State Department lawyer pres-
ent as well as his suggestion
that the talk of the Benghazi at-
tack being related to a protest
had hurt U.S. interests either
by delaying an investigation or
embarrassing the president of
Libya. But neither possibility is
exactly earth-shaking. Frankly,
the most compelling explana-
tion of the differing accounts so
far is that some people
not directly involved
made some dumb mis-
takes and might have
been inuenced by
some wishful thinking.
But thats not to sug-
gest that the public
should simply accept
whatever the Obama
administration has to
say on the subject, or
even the State Depart-
ments rather exhaus-
tive follow-up report.
Four Americans, in-
cluding Ambassador J.
Christopher Stevens,
were killed by terror-
ists who have not been
brought to justice. A
congressional investigation is
warranted if Republicans can
bring themselves to make it fact-
based and objective.
We wont hold our breath.
When House Speaker John
Boehner waded into the subject,
it was to urge the White House
to publicly release an email (de-
scribing the attack as having
been perpetrated by Islamist
militants) that the committee
had already seen. Thats not ad-
vancing a legitimate investiga-
tion, its a public relations-mind-
ed effort to lend support to the
Republican view of a cover-up.
House Republicans need to
understand that most Ameri-
cans see the Benghazi attack
and get angry chiey at its per-
petrators, not at Clinton, Obama
or anyone else in the chain of
command. If Issa can help bring
those terrorists to justice, he
will have the publics gratitude.
If his goal is simply to take ad-
vantage of this tragedy to score
political points, he is unlikely to
stir much interest beyond the
usual amen-corner of Fox News
and its hyper-partisan ilk.

MALLARD FiLLMORE DOOnESBURY
Mr. Molitoris goes to Washington: Money well spent
ITS A FINE thing about
men, you know, Jimmy
Stewart says during hisli-
buster scene in Mr. Smith
Goes to Washington.
They all start life being
boys.
Brief pause, droll glance, and: I
wouldnt be a bit surprised if some of
these senators were boys once.
Andrew Molitoris lacked the pitch-
perfect folksiness of Stewarts Senator
Jefferson Smith, but the crowd at the Dal-
las School Board meeting May 6 warmed
to the fth grader much as the senators
did to Stewart in that movie: Slowly and
inevitably.
In white polo shirt and black pants
with an easy-going voice and a restless-
leg shufe, Molitoris recounted his trip
to Washington, D.C. to attend the Junior
National Young Leaders Conference under
the auspices of the district. He projected
pictures of activities while chatting about
the Newseum, cherry blossoms and join-
ing a Civil War re-enactment.
Thats the only photo youll see that Im
not smiling in, because we werent allowed
to smile.
Molitoris and the other young leaders
met a senator who didnt leave much of
an impression, apparently. I found out he
was a Democrat I think, from Scranton.
Are you a Democrat or a Republican,
Board Member Karen Kyle asked.
What? Uhhh I dont know!
Best answer ever, Board President
Richard Coslett said between laughs.
The group met Mary Beth
Tinker, who, in 1965 at the age of
13, joined classmates in wearing
black armbands to school to show
disapproval of the Vietnam War.
The school banned the armbands.
Tinker and the ACLU fought
to the Supreme Court, and in
1969 the justices handed down a
landmark decision that students
dont shed their constitutional rights to
freedom of speech or expression at the
schoolhouse gate.
Molitoris panned the food (breakfast
made my stomach hurt every single day)
but praised the experience over all. As he
wrapped up, he thanked the board mem-
bers for their time and, with the disarming
ease only a child could apply to the issue
of education spending, added and thanks
for your money.
In Mr. Smith, Stewarts character is
ghting a proposed dam that would kill
his own plan for a boys camp, where
youngsters could build their bodies and
minds for man-sized jobs.
Yeah, it seemed like a pretty good idea,
getting boys from all over the country,
boys of all nationalities and ways of living,
getting them together, let them nd out
what makes different people tick the way
they do. Because I wouldnt give you two
cents for all your fancy rules, if behind
them they didnt have a little bit of plain-
ordinary everyday kindness. And a little
looking out for the other fella, too.
Molitoris little speech proved the value
of pushing education beyond classroom
walls and standardized tests. Was it a
necessary part of preparing him for adult
life? No.
Will he be a better adult because of it.
Almost certainly.
Thanks for the money?
If I were a Dallas School District tax-
payer, Id gladly reply Youre welcome.

qUOTE OF THE DAY
With deference to the genius of David

Writer feels WVW news
fueled by rumors, gossip
A
s a parent of three children in the Wyo-
ming Valley West School District, it has
troubled me greatly to read some of the
reports being published in the local papers
in recent weeks.
My daughter served on student council
during her time in the Middle School,
and my son regularly attends the dances
as a student there now. In all my years of
experience with student council, both as a
student and a parent, I have had only ex-
tremely positive experiences. I have never
had reason to suspect any wrongdoing, or
to distrust any of the extremely compe-
tent, caring teachers who give so freely of
their time as student council advisors.
I can understand problems with
personnel and administrative issues with
procedures not being followed. Those
kinds of things happen, and I understand
completely that they need to be addressed
and dealt with accordingly. However, what
I cannot understand, and what I nd my-
self struggling to explain to my children, is
why an elected ofcial who is supposed to
represent our district would make state-
ments to the media based on lots and
lots of rumors.
It seems to me that if you represent
something, it is in your best interest to
emphasize the positive things, not draw
attention to alleged negative activity,
based on speculation and gossip.
I would think the school board mem-
bers would be aware of the activities of
the various student groups, since the
board has to approve the yearly audits. If
there is ever any confusion or questions
about money that is being raised and how
it is being handled and allocated, isnt it
well within the board members roles to
ask the people in charge of those groups
directly?
It seems to make better sense than
publicly going on record saying that you
believe something needs to be investi-
gated, thereby implying that you suspect
wrongdoing. Furthermore, student coun-
cil is not the only group that sponsors
dances at the Middle School, yet no men-
tion was made in reference to any of the
athletic booster clubs that host dances
throughout the year. That omission
almost suggests that the board member
requesting an investigation has an agenda
involving only the Middle School.
Instead of looking into the matter
directly, it has only served to cast a nega-
tive image on the district which you were
elected to represent.
My biggest question is, why isnt the
board or anyone else going to the media
about all the positive things that Student
Council does? Donations to charity,
fundraisers, and student activities, just to
name a few, all of which are intended to
make our schools and our district a better
place for our children to learn and grow
and thrive. For instance, the board might
have encouraged the news media to go
to Blue Chip Farms Animal Rescue last
week, when Student Council members
spent the entire day volunteering their
time for a cleanup. They could have got-
ten great photos and done a really nice
write-up, showing exactly the kind of good
that our students and our district does for
the community. Rather than fanning the
ames of gossip and political agendas at
the expense of our students and their dedi-
cated teachers, this is the kind of attention
our district deserves to have its elected
ofcials promoting to the media.

Fifth grader Andrew Molitoris gives his

at the Junior National Young Leaders
Conference in Washington, D.C.

passed a note to Majmundar
that stated, All the money in
the register, the complaint
says.
Grace then told Thomas he
wasnt leaving the store.
Thomas struggled with
Grace, who was kicked in the
groin. Grace got up and held
the door closed from the out-
side until Gonzalez Lazaro
parked his car against the
front door. Police said in the
complaint Thomas tried to
ee the store by another exit.
Gray gloves and a home-
made ski mask were recovered
inside the store, along with
the note demanding money
from the register, police said.
Police said the robbery was
recorded by the stores surveil-
lance cameras.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled for May 23 before
District Judge Martin Kane in
Wilkes-Barre.
Thomas was jailed at the
Luzerne County Correctional
Facility for lack of $25,000
bail.
and the Luzerne County Dis-
trict Attorneys Ofce are in-
vestigating the fatality, which
occurred around 3:30 p.m.
Acting Coroner William
Lisman said Dr. Gary Ross, fo-
rensic pathologist fromLacka-
wanna County, completed an
autopsy Monday afternoon
and ruled the manner of death
as homicide. The autopsy re-
vealed the cause of death was
due to multiple traumatic in-
juries from being struck by a
motor vehicle.
District Attorney Stefanie
Salavantis said there was
nothing new to report Mon-
day, adding that county de-
tectives spent the day inter-
viewing family members and
friends and neighbors of the
victim.
We cant comment on any
leads or suspects at this time,
she said.
Jenkins Township Chief
Frank Mudlock said police
are following leads. He said
reports that the suspected
vehicle was white in color are
unconrmed.
Next-door neighbors Jim
and Eileen McLaughlin were
the rst to report the incident.
Jim McLaughlin had just n-
ished mowing his lawn when
his wife looked out the front
window and saw a pair of
shoes in the road.
We walked toward the
mailboxes and saw a body ly-
ing on the road, he said. As
we got closer we noticed it
was Jeanie.
McLaughlin said he called
911 immediately.
I hope the person responsi-
ble comes forward and fesses
up to what he or she did, he
said. To leave a person lying
on the side of the road to die
is wrong.
Betty Bolosky, 85, was with
Darsky all day doing their
routine of church, lunch and
conversation. Bolosky, who
lives just up the street, said
Darsky was like a daughter to
her.
We went to services at
Kingdom Hall of Jehovahs
Witnesses in Duryea, Bo-
losky said. Then we came
back to my house for lunch
and to read our papers.
Bolosky said she and Dar-
sky then went to Wesley Vil-
lage to visit Boloskys sister
before returning to their West-
minster Road homes.
I dropped Jeanie off at her
mailbox, like I always do,
Bolosky said. When I pulled
away, I noticed a white ve-
hicle swerving behind me. I
thought it was someone pull-
ing into a driveway. I had no
idea what had happened.
Bolosky said she got home
and laid down for a nap when
police knocked on her door.
She said she was shocked to
hear of her friends death.
Sheryl Storch, Jean Darskys
niece, lives next door with her
husband, Charles. They, like
Bolosky and McLaughlin,
have been concerned about
the location of the mailboxes
and their proximity to the
road that is posted at 35 mph.
They say trafc often exceeds
that limit on the state road-
way.
Weve asked for more po-
lice patrols to try to slow traf-
c, Sheryl Storch said. But
we never see police here, and
now my aunt is dead.
McLaughlin said trafc has
increased signicantly re-
cently because of repairs be-
ing done to the nearby Suscon
Road Bridge. Storch said trac-
tor-trailers also use the road.
McLaughlin has a camera
surveillance system on his
house and one of the cam-
eras points at the mailboxes
across the street. However, he
said he checked the video and
found nothing of the hit-and-
run. He said police checked it,
too, but apparently the system
was not working at the time of
the incident.
Her light is always going
to shine, Mark Darsky said
of his mother. Do I want
justice? Sure, but when your
time is up, its up. This was
such a freak thing it was
Sunday in the middle of the
afternoon.
He and the neighbors said
another neighbor was struck
when backing out of his drive-
way about a year and a half
ago. They said something has
to be done about the speed of
trafc.
I feel sorry for whoever did
this, Darsky said. He or she
has to have a conscience, and
to clear that conscience you
need forgiveness.

is responsible for how this au-
thority operates, McClosky
Houck said.
Council Chairman Tim Mc-
Ginley said he did not put
the matter on todays council
agenda, but council members
are free to introduce and vote
on non-agenda matters. Chief
Solicitor C. David Pedri must
weigh in because of the legal
implications, he said.
Councilman Edward Bromin-
ski said he supports McClosky
Houcks request and wants to
take it a step further by remov-
ing the authority members and
appointing newones. Brominski
has asked Pedri to research the
steps to reconstitute the board.
Brominski, who initially ques-
tioned the bus ridership statis-
tics, said the loss in riders and
alleged sexual harassment are
evidence someone is not pay-
ing attention to business.
Authority Board Chairman
Salvatore Licata said he does
not believe council has legal au-
thority to remove active board
members before their terms
expire. He and other authority
members met with council in
executive session last year to
answer questions, he said.
Were willing to work hand in
hand with council, Licata said.
He said he was aware of the
home assault of the worker but
didnt know about an alleged
connection to the sexual ha-
rassment suit until he read the
recent article. However, he said
the board must await the results
of the police investigation of the
assault and for court resolution
of the litigation.
The board closely monitors
operations, he said.
The staff keeps us well aware
of everything, Licata said.
Strelish said he has nothing
to hide and will provide any
requested public information to
council.
Strelish said he cant com-
ment on the worker who led
the sexual harassment suit be-
cause of the pending litigation
but said he hopes the police in-
vestigation of the assault in her
home results in an arrest.
I just hope they nd the per-
son who has done that to this
woman, Strelish said.
Bus ridership in April was
106,770 a decline of about
30,000 compared to April 2012,
he said.
Brominski issued an email
saying saying senior citizen rid-
ership, which is included in the
total, declined from 55,677 in
April 2012 to 22,101 this April.
Brominski made an issue of
senior ridership last July, say-
ing he was informed bus driv-
ers were ordered to pad senior
ridership numbers by hitting a
counter button extra times to
up state reimbursement.
Strelish has vehemently de-
nied the allegations of ghost
riders. The Pennsylvania De-
partment of Transportation in-
vestigated and found no wrong-
doing, but the state Ofce of
Inspector General is still con-
ducting its investigation.
Strelish noted the state has
increased its funding for the
authority, despite the ridership
decline. The state will provide
$5.27 million in the 2013-14 s-
cal year, compared to $5.05 mil-
lion this year, he said.
The countys home rule char-
ter allows council the authority
to study, audit and investigate
matters it determines are in
the best interests of the coun-
ty. Council has the power to
administer oaths and issue sub-
poenas and can compel wit-
nesses to attend meetings and
produce documents and other
evidence.
more urgent international task.
Domestically, Obama is fac-
ing heat at the start of his sec-
ond term on several fronts.
The Internal Revenue Ser-
vice, an independent agency
in the Treasury Department,
apologized Friday for what it
acknowledged was inappropri-
ate targeting of conservative
political groups. The agency
blamed low-level employees,
saying no high-level ofcials
were aware.
But a draft of an inspector
generals report obtained by The
Associated Press says senior IRS
ofcials knew agents were tar-
geting tea party groups as early
as 2011. The Treasury Depart-
ments inspector general for tax
administration is expected to
release the nal report this week
after a yearlong investigation.
The portion of the draft report
reviewed by the AP does not say
whether anyone in the Obama
administration outside the IRS
was informed of the targeting.
Obama said he rst learned
about the matter from news re-
ports last week.
If in fact IRS persons en-
gaged in the kind of practices
that have been reported on and
were intentionally targeting
conservative groups, then thats
outrageous and theres no place
for it, Obama said. And they
have to be held fully account-
able.
He said the IRS must operate
with absolute integrity and ap-
ply laws without partisanship.
Ive got no patience with
it, he said. I will not tolerate
it and we will nd out exactly
what happened.
Obamas response on Beng-
hazi comes after disclosure last
week of emails that the adminis-
tration had turned over to con-
gressional investigators.

2011 due to concerns the build-
ing could collapse.
McLaughlin said the demoli-
tion bid period will remain open
for 20 days so contractors have
ample time to receive and famil-
iarize themselves with all nec-
essary information in order to
submit a proper bid.
The project has some com-
plexities because of the building
design, the proximity to other
structures and restrictions and
requirements imposed by state
agencies such as the Game
Commission and Historical and
Museum Commission.
For example, the city already
has a memorandum of under-
standing with the Historical and
Museum Commission related
to the preservation of certain
artifacts from the 115-year-old
building. The Game Commis-
sion is requiring demolition to
proceed in a way least disrup-
tive to peregrine falcons that
nest nearby on the Market
Street Bridge, McLaughlin said.
Additional care is required be-
cause a primary city-owned sew-
er system runs under the road
near the Sterling. Also, the base-
ment walls must be maintained
and braced because they serve
as retaining walls that support
River and Market streets. And
implosion may not be an op-
tion because intense vibration
could jeopardize the structural
integrity of nearby century-old
buildings.
McLaughlin said HUD made
sure the city had satised all
state agency requirements and
addressed all state agency con-
cerns before the federal agency
would release the CDBG fund-
ing.
He said representatives of
state agencies such as the De-
partment of Environmental
Protection and Department of
Labor & Industry will attend a
pre-bid conference that will be
mandatory for bidding contrac-
tors. It will be held at the Hotel
Sterling site sometime within
the 20-day bid period on a date
to be announced.
Contractors must submit a
demolition plan that will satisfy
all of the state requirements as
well as those of city ofcials. Bid
specications will be available
by the end of the week.
City ofcials expect the de-
molition will cost in the mid-
hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars range, and nowhere near an
extravagant $1 million gure
that had been mentioned more
than a year ago, McLaughlin
said.
The city solicited bids for the
project last year, and the lowest
received last June was $492,729.
McLaughlin said the city must
re-solicit bids because a fund-
ing source changed. Last year,
Luzerne County was expected
to kick in about $232,000 but
backed out after county ofcials
couldnt reach an agreement
on liability with the building
owner.
CityVest, the nonprot own-
er, is out of money and spent
most of a $6 million county
community development loan
to expand the parcel, tear down
an attached high-rise and re-
move hazardous materials from
the original hotel. CityVest now
plans to dissolve, according to a
legal notice published in April.
The Commonwealth Financ-
ing Authority in 2010 approved
$290,000 in gaming funds to-
ward rehabbing the building for
use as a commercial and retail
center. The authority more re-
cently approved using most of
that allocation for demolition
instead.
McLaughlin said there have
been some modications to the
bid specications since they
were released last year, but he
doesnt expect any signicant
increase in the overall cost of
the project. Any project cost in-
crease would probably be due to
an increase in the areas prevail-
ing wage, he said.

MOOSIC In the rst three games
of a four-game set between Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre and Gwinnett, the out-
come was decided in the late innings.
The fourth game didnt play out any
differently. Unfortunately for the Rail-
Riders that decision on Monday went
to the Braves. Gwinnett slugger Er-
nesto Mejia clubbed his International
League-leading 10th home run in the
top of the ninth, leading Gwinnett to a
3-2 win at PNC Field.
The longball by Mejia, which crushed
off the bottom of the scoreboard in left
eld, ruined a night for the RailRiders
that saw 23-year-old Nik Turley make
his Triple-A debut and pitch well. And
it also dampened the last game in
Moosic for New Yorks Curtis Grander-
son, who was rehabbing and is expect-
ed to join the Yankees later this week.
Granderson ended his stay in NEPA
hitting .400 (8-for-21) with a home run
and three RBI.
We got to see good pitching both
with the Braves staff and the Pirates
staff. That was what I needed to do,
Granderson said. Got some at-bats
down in Tampa, but to get some at-bats
in game settings was good for me.
It looks Ill probably be headed over
there (New York) possibly as soon as
tomorrow.
Turley, a left-hander who was the
Opening Day starter for Double-A
Trenton, started off well. In his rst
inning, he struck out Atlanta all-star
Jason Heyward looking and Joey Ter-
doslavich swinging on three pitches.
After not giving up a hit in the rst 2
2/3 innings, Turley ran into trouble for
the only time in the top of the third. He
allowed a one-out walk to Jose Yepez.
He rebounded to get Tyler Pastornicky
SOUTH ABINGTON TWP. Wyo-
ming Seminarys Henry Cornell and
Scranton Preps Will Cognetti were so
evenly matched that 20-volley serves be-
came the norm in Mondays District 2
Class 2A Boys Tennis Singles Tournament
at the Birchwood Tennis Club.
The only surprising part to anyone was
that it didt go three sets.
The second-seeded Cognetti won the
district crown with a 7-6 (3), 6-3 victory
over No. 1 Cornell in an oftentimes gruel-
ing match.
Were denitely evenly matched, Cog-
netti said. If we played 100, wed denite-
ly each win 50.
Top-seeded Jai Redknar, of Abington
Heights, went out on top for the Class 3A
title with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Delaware Val-
leys Andrew Neidig.
Last weeks inclement weather post-
poned the seminals and nals from Fri-
day to Monday. On Monday morning,
PITTSBURGH The celebration,
at least by the typically all-business
standards of the Pittsburgh Penguins,
appeared a little over the top.
The second Brooks Orpiks slapshot
ripped into the back of the net 7:49
into overtime last Saturday to give
the Penguins a 4-3 overtime win and a
rst-round playoff series victory over
the better-than-advertised New York
Islanders, Orpiks teammates spilled
over the boards and sprinted toward
the veteran defenseman like kids run-
ning after the bell rings on the nal
day of school.
For a team used to success this
time of year, it ap-
peared a little out
of character.
Then again, its
been awhile. The
rst goal inOrpiks
78 career playoff
games propelled
the Penguins into
the second round
starting Tuesday
against Ottawa
while easing some
of the pain of early
postseason exits
in 2011 and 2012.
I knowa lot of people are making a
big deal out of that, trying to connect
it to the last couple years, Orpik said.
I dont know, maybe it was built up in
some people.
Just not, Orpik insists, the guys in
the Pittsburgh dressing room.
Half the guys in this room werent
here the last couple years, he said.
This group thats right here is 1-0 in
the playoffs as far as I see it. Hopefully
our condence is just building off the
rst round.
The Penguins should feel con-
dent and a bit fortunate to es-
cape the relentless Islanders. New
York dominated for long stretches in
the series, using its speed to uster

SCRANTON - Running in the rain
didnt seem to bother the Holy Re-
deemer girls track team.
Or Tyler Burger, for that matter.
Led by distance runner Cassandra
Gill, the Redeemer girls nished 1-2
in three events Monday and set a new
meet relay record to win the district
title, while Northwests Burger won
three individual boys events to high-
light the District 2 Class 2A track and
eld championships at soggy Scran-
ton Memorial Stadium.
Its a lot of mental preparation,
said Gill, who captured the 3200-me-
ter run following an early-meet rain
and hail shower and helped Redeem-
ers 3200 relay team set a new District
2 record with a time of 9:27.45. But
we ran one time when it was pouring
down snow. This is nothing compared
to that.
It sure seemed a lot less difcult for
Redeemer than most of its competi-
tors.
The Royals Rachel Sowinski cap-
tured the 1600 run and Gill nished
second in that event, while their
teammates Melissa Cruz and Olivia
Gregorio ninsihed rst and second,
respectively, in the 800 run. While Gill
won the 3200, her teammate Marissa
Durako placed second in that event.
Going through the puddles, you
have to realize to get a little wet is
OK, Durako said. You just have to
keep focused.
And in the eld, where grass and
dirt became mud, Redeemers Boston
College-bound senior Fallyn Boich
Its a lot of mental prepa-
ration. But we ran one time
when it was pouring down
snow. This is nothing com-
pared to that.

WEST PITTSTON No way
was it going to rain on Berwicks
quest for the Wyoming Valley
Conference Division 2 softball
title.
Not last Thursday and cer-
tainly not Monday.
The Dawgs scored seven runs
in the fourth inning all after
a rain delay as they over-
whelmed Wyoming Area 14-2 in
six innings to clinch the division
crown.
Berwick improved to 11-2 in
Division 2, locking up the sec-
ond seed in the District 2 Class
3A playoffs in the process. Wyo-
ming Area nished the regular
season at 9-5.
Berwick defeated Tunkhan-
nock (9-4), another divisional
contender entering the week,
3-0 on Thursday after a brief
rain delay. Mondays delay was
much longer 22 minutes
but the ensuing results were
much better.
The game was halted with the
bases loaded with one out and
a 1-0 count on Margaret Bridge.
When play resumed, Bridge hit
a two-run double to left. Court-
ney Hummel followed with a
two-run single and pinch hit-
ter Bridget Orlando delivered a
two-run single later, giving Ber-
wick an 11-2 lead.
That was tough, Berwick
coach Brian Bridge said. Luck-
ily we were on offense when it
started raining, so it didnt quite
affect us as much. The eld held
up really good. I was really sur-
prised.
So was Wyoming Area, which
was right in the game until
that point. The performance
trumped two other lopsided
losses this season, including
a 10-3 setback to Berwick on
April 15.
By far, it was the worst game
weve played all year, Wyo-
ming Area coach Barry Przybyla
said. Im not taking anything
away from (Berwick). They hit
the ball, they came to play. We
didnt.
Berwick didnt stop after the
seven-run outburst, scoring
three more times in the sixth to
end the game an inning early.
Sara Berlin had the big hit, a
two-run double to give her three
RBI. Hummel also nished with
three RBI and was 3-for-4 at the
plate.
In all, Berwick banged out
12 hits and every starter either
scored or had a hit or an RBI.
We talked about that in our
huddle, Bridge said. All year
we couldnt get the back to back
hits we needed. Today they -
nally put it together. Wyoming
Area is a great team, we know
that. To come out here and hit
the ball like that, I was really
proud of the girls.
Wyoming Area had only ve
hits, with Serra Degnan and
Emily Wolfgang each recording
a double. The Warriors will have
to wait until the WVC and Lack-
awanna League seasons end to
nd out their D2-3A playoff op-
ponent, but are guaranteed a
home game in the rst round.
I dont mind getting beat,
Przybyla said, but were a bet-
ter ball club than that. Much
better. Well be ready for the
playoffs.

Berwick clinches Division 2 title
By JOHN ERZAR

didnt slip much. She won the
javelin with a throw of 126-11
feet and won the discus with a
toss of 122-2 feet, defending her
district titles in both.
All those top nishes helped
the Holy Redeemer girls ac-
cumulate a team score of 133
points, besting the scores of
second-place nishers Montrose
and Lakeland with 85 points
apiece.
You have to keep in mind the
weather not only affected me,
but everyone else whos com-
peting today, Boich said. You
do not change for weather, you
stick with what youve been do-
ing. I was happy with my javelin
throw. Discus, it was a little on
the slippery side. Theres no
better feeling than helping your
team out with points. It feels
great. Its a nice nish to the
season before states.
That Northwest nished third
in the boys team points stand-
ings was a tribute to Burgers
day.
The sophomore won district
gold in the long jump, the 100
hurles and the 300 hurdles as
the Rangers nished with 72.50
points - behind district cham-
pion Lakelands 106.50.
I have two pairs of shoes - one
for sprints, one for jumping,
Burger said. My sprinting ones
dont have a heel. That helps a
little bit. Youve just got to focus
and just practice and get used to
it. Weve practiced in rain, snow
as long as its not lightning,
were practicing.
A few other competitors
caught lightning in a bottle on
their way to district champion-
ships.
In the girls eld, Lake-Lehm-
ans Shoshana Mahoney won
the 100-meter dash; Hanover
Areas Olivia Jandrezjewski won
the triple jump and high jump;
Northwests Olivia Magni won
the pole vault; and Quieterriua
Gross of Meyers won the long
jump.
And in the boys eld, GARs
Lucas Benton won the 400-me-
ter dash and Northwests Tan-
ner Kennedy captured the 200
meter dash.

out, but facing Heyward for
the second time, the outelder
drove the rst pitch he sawfrom
Turley over the head of center
elder Melky Mesa for a double,
scoring Yepez for a 1-0 lead.
It was cool. I got him look-
ing, Turley said about facing
Heyward in his rst game above
Double-A. I try not to think
about it whos in the box. I know
hes a great player. It was just
fun to pitch against him.
It wasnt the walk or the hit
by Heyward that hurt Turley,
but the wild pitch that moved
Yepez to second. Yepez, a catch-
er, likely wouldnt have scored if
he wasnt on second base.
Turley, who was drafted in
the 50
th
round of the 2008 draft
out of Harvard-Westlake H.S. in
California, lasted six innings,
giving up just one run on two
hits and three walks with four
punch-outs. Of the 90 pitches he
tossed, 53 were for strikes.
Two of the three walks he
gave up were in the rst three
frames as he was having trouble
with the curveball. The pitch
was spinning and he wasnt able
to get it over for strikes so he
pretty much stopped throwing
it the last few innings.
I had to focus on a couple
other pitches to use, Turley
added. Its a learning experi-
ence if somethings not working
and I was able to do that and I
battled.
The RailRiders offense nally
broke through against lefty Yo-
han Flande, who entered the
game with a 5.34 ERA and a 1-3
record. Melky Mesa homered
on a rst-pitch fastball from the
27-year-old and drilled it over
the bullpen in left eld to tie the
score at 1-1. It was Mesas fourth
homer of the season.
Mesa was at it again in the
sixth. This time with runners
on rst and third, he singled to
drive in Zoilo Almonte to give
SWB a 2-1 lead.
Graham Stoneburner, who
was Mondays scheduled starter
but was moved to the bullpen so
Turley could start, relieved Tur-
ley in the seventh and allowed a
run to tie the game at 2-2.

ROYALS
JGRroars back on track after rocky two weeks lled with controversy
CHARLOTTE, N.C. When Joe
Gibbs publicly addressed the illegal
part found in Matt Kenseths engine,
the team owner was respectful of NAS-
CARs inspection process but adamant
about the importance of not sullying
Joe Gibbs Racings reputation over an
infraction he insisted was not inten-
tional.
When an appeals board last week re-
duced most of the penalties NASCAR
levied against JGR, Gibbs did not cel-
ebrate winning his case. His reaction
was reserved, almost subdued, and
nothing close to the celebration one
might have expected over an issue that
was so important to him.
Perhaps its because JGR chose to do
its celebrating on the race track.
JGR came roaring back from two
rocky weeks ghting NASCAR by
blowing the doors off the competition
at Darlington Raceway, where it swept
last weekends races. Kenseth won the
Sprint Cup race on Saturday night,
Kyle Busch won the Nationwide Series
race on Friday night and nobody came
close to challenging the organization.
Busch routed the eld in the Nation-
wide race and led JGR drivers Elliott
Sadler and Brian Vickers across the n-
ish line. Kenseth wound up fth to give
JGR rst, second, third and fth in the
rst race of the weekend.
In the Cup race, it looked like it
was going to be Busch again as he led
a race-high 265 laps. But a at tire in
the homestretch caused Busch to fade
to a sixth-place nish. Sailing past him
was Kenseth for his series-leading third
win of the season and teammate Denny
Hamlin, who made it a 1-2 JGR nish
in Hamlins rst full race since suffer-
ing a compression fracture of a vertebra
in his lower back.
When asked to explain JGRs perfor-
mance at Darlington, team President
J.D. Gibbs downplayed any magic for-
mula.
The weekend sweep came on the
heels of a trying two weeks for the
Gibbs organization.
One of the connecting rods in Kens-
eths race-winning engine from Kansas
did not meet the minimum weight re-
quirements and NASCAR punished the
organization with one of the toughest
penalties in recent history. Joe Gibbs
didnt dispute the part was illegal, and
manufacturer Toyota accepted full
blame.
What was important to Gibbs was
proving that there was no intent to
deceive on the part of JGR or Toyota,
and that the part did not provide any
competitive advantage. So the team
went through the appeals process for
the rst time in its history, and won a
rare victory at the rst level.

WASHINGTON Led by
Henrik Lundqvists 35 saves in
a second consecutive shutout,
and goals from some unlikely
sources, the New York Rangers
beat the Washington Capitals
5-0 in Game 7 Monday night to
reach the Eastern Conference
seminals.
New York contained Alex
Ovechkin again and completed
its comeback after trailing in
the series 2-0 and 3-2 the
latest in Washingtons long his-
tory of playoff collapses.
Sixth-seeded New York faces
No. 4 Boston in the second
round.
It is the rst time New York
won a Game 7 on the road in
its history.
Arron Asham put New York
ahead in the rst period, before
Taylor Pyatt and Michael Del
Zotto made it 3-0 early in the
second on goals 2:10 apart.
Ryan Callahan added a goal
13 seconds into the third peri-
od, and when Mats Zuccarello
scored with about 13 minutes
remaining, thousands of red-
clad fans streamed to the exits.

BOSTON Patrice
Bergeron tied it with 51 sec-
onds left in regulation then
scored the game-winner 6:05
into overtime to give Boston
a victory over the Maple Leafs
in Game 7 as the Bruins turned
back Torontos comeback with
a rally of their own.
Tuukka Rask stopped 24
shots for Boston, which led the
best-of-seven series 3-1 before
the Maple Leafs won two in a
row to force a seventh game.
Toronto opened a 4-1 lead in
the third period of the decisive
game, but Boston cut the de-
cit to two midway through the
third period and then scored
twice in the nal 82 seconds to
force overtime.
CHICAGOLeBron James
scored 27 points and the Mi-
ami Heat nearly matched a
franchise record for points
allowed in a playoff game,
pounding the listless and
short-handed Chicago Bulls
88-65 on Monday night to take
a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Con-
ference seminals.
The 65 points allowed were
only two more than the all-
time postseason low for a
Miami opponent, and it was
easily the worst offensive per-
formance by a Chicago team.
Never before had the Bulls
scored fewer than 69 in a
playoff game nor 10 or less
in a quarter during the post-
season, but both those marks
fell on a night when they were
dominated on both ends of the
oor.
Miami led by 11 at the half
and put this one away in the
third quarter, outscoring Chi-
cago 17-9 in the period.
Now the Heat will try to
wrap up the series at home on
Wednesday night, taking what
they hope will be the next
step toward a second straight
championship.
Miami pounded Chicago in
Game 2, coming away with its
most lopsided playoff victory
while handing the Bulls their
worst ever postseason loss,
and the Heat continued to roll
from there.

plodding roster of veterans.
Though the Penguins never
trailed, they were seemingly
never really in control over the
nal ve games.
They advanced anyway after
a well-timed goaltender switch
from struggling Marc-Andre
Fleury to backup Tomas Vok-
oun, who fought off the pesky
Islanders in Games 5 and 6.
Now Vokoun or Fleury
coach Dan Bylsma isnt saying
who will start Game 1 will
face an entirely different prod-
uct in the Senators, owners one
of the NHLs stingiest defenses
with one major axe to grind.
Pittsburgh knocked Ottawa
out of the playoffs fairly easily
in 2008 and 2010, though both
clubs believe it is ancient his-
tory.
I think any playoff matchup,
I would consider a rivalry,
Pittsburgh captain Sidney Cros-
by said. Thats kind of typical
in the playoffs for anything; it
kind of develops as the playoffs
go on. With the history with
them Im sure theres a little
extra there but I think at this
point you want every game just
as much as you would against
any, I guess, rival you could
say.
More pressing is a simmer-
ing feud between the Senators
and Penguins winger/part-time
instigator Matt Cooke.
Ottawa owner Eugene Mel-
nyk labeled Cooke a goon
after Cookes skate slashed the
Achilles tendon of Senators de-
fenseman Erik Karlsson on Feb.
13. Though initially ruled out
for the rest of the season, Karls-
son returned 10 weeks later and
collected a goal and ve assists
in Ottawas ve-game romp
over Montreal in the opening
round of the playoffs.
Cooke insists the slash was
an accident brought on by two
players mucking in the corner
for the puck and hasnt given
it much thought over the last
three months. The teams last
meeting a 3-1 Pittsburgh win
on April 22 passed without
incident. While maintaining his
innocence, Cooke has no prob-
lem if the Senators search for
retribution sometime over the
next two weeks.
Ive always approached the
games that if teams are think-
ing about me and worrying
about me, theyre not focus-
ing on what they have to do,
Cooke said.
Ottawa center Zack Smith
allowed the incident is still
on peoples minds but is not a
focal point for a team trying to
reach the conference nals for
the third time in franchise his-
tory.
Well be aware of when hes
on the ice as we know what he
has done in his past, Smith
said. So you just have to be
aware when hes nishing his
checks.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
Kansas City Chiefs couldnt
have found a better source for
help in implementing and
maybe even defending the
pistol offensive system sweep-
ing through the NFL.
The Chiefs have hired former
Nevada coach Chris Ault, who
used the modied shotgun for-
mation to great success in the
college ranks, to serve as a con-
sultant to new coach Andy Reid,
offensive coordinator Doug Ped-
erson and the rest of the Kansas
City coaching staff.
Aults agent, Bob LaMonte,
conrmed the deal to The As-
sociated Press on Monday. It
was rst reported by the Reno
Gazette-Journal, which covered
Ault during his college coaching
years.
It wasnt clear exactly what
his duties will be, though its
safe to say that his expertise
running the pistol offense will
be heavily drawn upon.
In other news, the Chiefs an-
nounced the signing of running
back Knile Davis, their third-
round draft pick. Davis is the
third of the Chiefs eight draft
picks to have signed a contract,
joining sixth-round pick Eric
Kush and seventh-round selec-
tion Mike Catapano.
The Chiefs also signed six
tryout players who took part in
their rookie minicamp.
They released defensive back
Jose Gumbs and fullbacks Ryan
DImperio and Nate Eachus, a
Hazleton Area graduate.

frigid temperatures and the

Cornell defeated Cognetti last
Tuesday in the Team champion-
ship.
He is upset, Wyoming Semi-
nary coach Alison Joanlanne
said. (Henry) just beat him last
week. And going from outdoor
to indoors is a factor. Its too
bad.
At the tail end of the decid-
ing second set, both Cornell and
Cognetti were suffering from fa-
tigue. Cornell escaped a lengthy
seminal matchup against the
No. 4 seed Keller McGurrin, of
Scranton Prep. In the second
semi set, Cornell battled from
a 5-2 decit to take a 6-5 lead.
McGurrin forced an overtime,
a win of four; however, Cornell
managed a 6-3 to advance.
They both were exhausted
from their previous matches so
it made a difference in both their
play, Joanlanne said. Nonethe-
less, I thought they both played
well.
Cognetti began cramping
late in the nal set. With a 40-
15 match point on the line, he
and Cornell dueled to a 40-vol-
ley point, won by a misdirection
by Cornell. Cognetti notched
the championship on the next
point, in what he said was his
last opportunity to withstand
the pain.
If he won that game, he
probably would have won (the
match), Cognetti said. I was
cramping up pretty badly at
the end. I could barely hold the
racket.
The players went back and
forth in a rst set that was won
by Cognetti (3) in overtime.
Henry wasnt as consistent
as he usually is (in the playoff),
Joanlanne said. He made a lot
of nice volleys, some good over-
heads. He played well.
Both players adjusted their
strategy from last weeks No. 1
singles Team nals matchup.
Cognetti said he took a more pa-
tient approach, while Joanlanne
said Cornell was trying to be
more aggressive than usual by
attacking the net.
HAZLETON Berwick and
coach Brian Pinterich already
have a state title to their name.
But on Monday, the Bulldogs ac-
complished something new.
A tense 6-4 road win at Hazle-
ton Area delivered Berwick its
rst Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence title under Pinterich as the
Bulldogs closed out their regu-
lar season by claiming the Divi-
sion 1 crown.
I said when I got hired we
wanted to win a Wyoming Val-
ley Conference, a district and
a state (title), Pinterich said.
We just did it in reverse order.
The Dawgs (11-4) actually
nished second in their division
back in 2008 when they became
the rst and still only
WVC team to win a state cham-
pionship. They had a few more
second-place nishes on top of
that, and very nearly took sec-
ond again this season.
Berwick missed two chances
to clinch last week with losses
to Wyoming Valley West and
Coughlin. And on Monday, they
found themselves down 3-2 after
a string of errors and walks gave
the Cougars (9-6) the lead after
two innings.
Senior Joe Favata came
through with a pair of RBI dou-
bles, driving in what proved to
be the winning run in the fth
and then producing an insur-
ance run in the seventh.
Big-time players step up in
big-time situations, Pinterich
said. Hes been swinging the
bat very well all year. A big hit
in the last inning there to give
us that insurance run.
Bulldogs starter Clay DeNoia
was on a pitch count in his rst
appearance after an injury, but
Alex Klinger and Kyle Miller
combined for a strong relief ef-
fort.
Klinger earned the win and
Miller pitched the nal two
frames for the save.
(DeNoia) struggled a little
bit, but this was his rst live out-
ing in several weeks, Pinterich
said. We just want to get the
horse ready to go for the play-
offs here.
Had Hazleton Area won, there
would have been a three-way tie
at the top of Division 1 with
Wyoming Valley West, creating
a doubleheader for the champi-
onship today.
The whole week had a simi-
lar vibe to last season, as the
Cougars clawed back into con-
tention and won the division
title on the nal day of the 2012
regular season.
Last year, we took care of it
and this year we didnt, Hazle-
ton Area coach Gino Cara said.
But were a good, young team.
Still a lot of learning to do. Lost
to a good team. They deserved
to win the conference.
Dave Klein and Joe Baran
each drew a bases-loaded walk
in the second and Kyle Klein
scored on an error to give the
Cougars a 3-2 lead. Tony Craig
knocked in Baran in the fth to
pull within 5-4.
The Cougars had won a host
of games already this season in
the late innings, and this one felt
the same for them.
Right down to the last pitch,
we knew we were gonna win it,
Cara said. But we didnt today.
Hazleton Areas next game
will likely be Monday, hosting
a Class 4A quarternal game.
Berwick will be one of the top
seeds in the Class 3A bracket
and will host a rst-round game
on Friday.
This was a little bit of a gut-
check time, Pinterich said.
When we had to answer, Im
real proud of my guys. We an-
swered big time.

rangers, Bruins claim Game 7s
DETROIT George Posto-
los is leaving the Houston As-
tros, despite what he insists are
better days ahead for the strug-
gling team.
I know its going to be suc-
cessful, he said. Thats tough
to step away from that.
Postolos resigned as presi-
dent and CEO of the Astros on
Monday, returning to sports
consulting work in the midst
of what looks like it could be
the teams third consecutive
season of at least 100 losses.
Postolos worked for seven years
with Houston businessman Jim
Crane to buy a sports franchise
and it wound up being the As-
tros. He had been Astros presi-
dent and CEO since November
2011.
I am very proud of what Jim
accomplished with my help
acquiring a major league fran-
chise with a strong and diverse
ownership group, developing
and implementing a good plan
for the teams future, and assem-
bling a rst-rate management
team, Postolos said in a state-
ment. I look forward to helping
other investors pursue their ob-
jectives in sports knowing that
Jimand the Astros organization
are off to a great start and well
positioned for future success.
In a brief telephone interview
with The Associated Press, he
said the decision to leave was
his.
Its one of those things,
where theres no perfect time to
leave, he said. But its a good
time because a lot of the key
pieces are in place.
The successes have been rare
of late for Houston. The Astros
entered Monday nights game
in Detroit at 10-28, the worst
record in the major leagues, and
Houston batters had struck out
a big league-high 381 times.
The Astros lost 107 games
last year and 106 in 2011.
CLEVELAND Vidal Nuno
pitched ve innings of three-hit
ball to win his rst major league
start, Vernon Wells and Lyle
Overbay had two RBIs apiece
and the New York Yankees beat
the Cleveland Indians 7-0 Mon-
day for a doubleheader split.
Clevelands Justin Masterson
pitched a four-hitter for his third
career shutout as the Indians
won the opener 1-0 and stopped
the Yankees ve-game winning
streak.
Pitching in just his second
game for the Yankees, Nuno
walked three walks and struck
out three. The former Cleveland
draft pick became the only left-
hander other than CC Sabathia
or Andy Pettitte to start for New
York since 2008.
He did an unbelievable job,
considering he hasnt pitched
in a while, Yankees manager
Joe Girardi said of Nuno, who
hadnt pitched since making
his big league debut on April
29. Hes very poised out there.
Nothing seems to bother him.
He was ahead of hitters all day.
Rookie Adam Warren nished
the ve-hitter for his rst big
league save.
New York chased Trevor Bau-
er (1-2) during a six-run seventh
and handed the Indians just
their third loss in 16 games.
Selected by the Indians in the
48th round of the 2009 amateur
draft, Nuno gave the Yankees ev-
erything they could have hoped
for in the second game.
Girardi said he wanted to
limit Nuno to 75 pitches, but
the 25-year-old had surpassed
that when he gave up consecu-
tive two-out singles in the fth.
However, Nuno struck out As-
drubal Cabrera with runners at
rst and third to end the threat
and preserve a 1-0 lead.
Nunos rst career win was
hardly guaranteed when he was
replaced, but the Yankees broke
it open in the sixth, highlighted
by Overbays two-run double.
In the opener, Masterson (6-
2) gave up four singles only
one reached the outeld for
his second shutout this season.
The right-hander overpowered
the AL East leaders for his third
career shutout and second this
year following a blanking of the
Chicago White Sox on April 12.
Tigers 7, Astros 2
DETROIT -- Andy Dirks hit
his rst career grand slam, part
of a six-run fourth inning for De-
troit against Houston.
Victor Martinez also homered
for the Tigers, who swept four
straight in Houston earlier this
month and opened this three-
game series at Comerica Park
with another convincing victory.
Twins 10, White Sox 3
MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins
rookie Aaron Hicks hit two
home runs and made a leaping
catch in center eld to take a ty-
ing home run away from Adam
Dunn in Minnesotas victory
over Chicago.
National League
Cardinals 6, Mets 3
ST. LOUIS -- Lance Lynn over-
came early control woes and St.
Louis used a three-run seventh
inning to beat the Mets.
Lynn (6-1) allowed three runs
on three hits and four walks the
rst two innings. He only gave
up one hit and one walk in his
last ve innings. He is 4-0 at
home this season.
Rick Ankiel, signed by the
Mets earlier in the day after
clearing waivers and playing
against the team that revived
his career as a position player,
just missed a diving catch on
Ty Wiggintons pinch-hit bloop
double to shallow center off
Scott Rice (1-3) to open the sev-
enth.
Brewers 5, Pirates 1
PITTSBURGH -- Marco Es-
trada allowed three hits over
seven innings and the Brewers
beat the sloppy Pirates to snap a
four-game losing streak.
Norichika Aoki went 3 for 5
with three RBIs and two sto-
len bases for the Brewers. Jean
Segura added three hits and
three stolen bases as Milwau-
kee ran wild against Pittsburgh
backup catcher Mike McKenry.
The Brewers stole six bases in
all and took advantage of three
Pittsburgh errors to win for just
the second time this month.
Cubs 9, Rockies 1
CHICAGO -- Travis Wood
pitched seven scoreless innings
and the Chicago Cubs came
within two outs of their rst
shutout since last August.

BUSINESS

IN BRIEF
Business stockpiles at
U.S. businesses left their stockpiles un-
changed in March for a second straight
month while their sales fell sharply.
The Commerce Department said
Monday that business stockpiles showed
no increase in March on a seasonally
adjusted basis. Businesses hadnt upped
their restocking in February, either. Sales
fell 1.1 percent in March, offsetting a 1
percent gain in February.
Alack of inventory building could
sloweconomic growth because it means
businesses are ordering fewer factory-
made goods, especially when sales are
falling. However, a report on spending at
retail businesses in April suggests con-
sumers rebounded after a weak March.
That could lead businesses to replenish
their shelves this spring.
Retail spending climbs
Lower-priced gas allowed Americans
to step up their spending at retail-
ers in April, from cars and clothes
to electronics and appliances. The
rebound from a weak March suggests
consumers remain resilient in the face
of higher taxes and could continue to
drive economic growth this spring.
Retail sales edged up 0.1 percent
in April from March, the Commerce
Department said Monday. Thats an
improvement from a 0.5 percent de-
cline in March, which was the largest
drop in nine months.
The April gain was stronger when
taking out the effect of lower gas pric-
es, which reduced sales at gas stations
4.7 percent the largest decline since
December 2008. The retail sales report
is not adjusted for price changes.
New Starbucks stores a hit
Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz
said Monday the coffee chains rst
stores in India and Vietnam have been
received positively and it might soon
be time to give Myanmar a shot too.
Within the next couple of years,
Id say, said Schultz of plans to enter
Myanmar. His visit to Bangkok this
week coincides with the coffee giants
15 year anniversary of opening in
Thailand.
Starbucks opened its rst Vietnam
store in February and its rst store in
India last year. Myanmar is attracting
interest from foreign companies and
investors after economic and political
reforms that have resulted in the Euro-
pean Union dropping sanctions against
the country and the U.S. easing them.
Starbucks also announced plans to
double the number of stores in Thai-
land within ve years to about 320.

LinkedIn and Facebook will celebrate
the anniversaries of their IPOs just a
few days apart this week. But their
experiences as publicly traded com-
panies couldnt be more different.
LinkedIn Corp. promotes its ser-
vice as a stepping stone to a more
enriching career. As it turns out, the
professional networking companys
initial public offering was a great
place to start a rewarding invest-
ment portfolio, too. LinkedIns stock
has nearly quadrupled in value from
its $45 IPO price on May 20 two
years ago. On Monday, it closed at
$175.03 per share. In contrast, Face-
books stock is hovering around $27
per share, down 29 percent since de-
buted on May 18, 2012 at $38.
LinkedIn is emerging as the stand-
out performer among its cohort of
hotly anticipated IPOs from Internet
companies that connect people with
common interests. The company is
growing faster and yielding far better
shareholder returns than the rest of a
class that includes online deals mak-
er Groupon Inc., Web game maker
Zynga Inc. and business review site
Yelp Inc., as well social networking
leader Facebook Inc.
With the exception of Yelp, the
stocks of all those other companies
are stuck well below their initial pub-
lic offering prices. Although Groupon
and Zynga have fared worse, Face-
book has been the highest-prole dis-
appointment.
But for all its success, LinkedIn still
hasnt immersed itself into peoples
lives and reshaped technology as pro-
foundly as Facebook has. Although
LinkedIn has been attracting more
frequent visits since its IPO, people
still spend far more time on Facebook
and share more of their lives there.
Unlike Facebook, LinkedIn hasnt be-
come a hub for other online services,
ranging from games to music.
Even among its fans on Wall Street,
LinkedIn is seen as little more than
an online hunting ground for oppor-
tunistic employers on the prowl for
talented workers.
But that could change if Linke-
dIn CEO Jeff Weiner and Executive
Chairman Reid Hoffman realize their
ambitions. As the 10-year-old compa-
ny heads into its second decade, its
two top executives want to establish
its website as an integral part of the
global economy.
It would be a representation of
every economic opportunity and ev-
ery skill required to attain those op-
portunities, Weiner said in a recent
interview with The Associated Press.

Tale of 2 IPOs

DEERFIELD, Ill. Drugstore
chain Walgreen Co. has extended its
agreement to ll prescriptions for
CVS Caremark Corp., which runs one
of the nations largest pharmacy ben-
et management businesses.
The deal means customers with
prescription drug benets managed
by CVS Caremark can still have their
prescriptions lled at stores operated
by Deereld, Ill.-based Walgreen, the
nations largest drugstore chain.
CVS Caremark also runs the na-
tions second largest drugstore chain,
in addition to its pharmacy benets
management, or PBM, business.
Walgreen released a brief statement
on Monday announcing the multi-
year agreement but declined to offer
details on it.
PBMs run prescription drug plans
for employers, insurers and other
customers. They process mail-order
prescriptions and handle bills for pre-
scriptions lled at retail pharmacies.
Last year, Walgreen took a revenue
hit when it went nearly nine months
without a new agreement to do busi-
ness with Express Scripts Holding
Co., the nations largest PBM.
The companies had stopped doing
business at the start of 2012, and the
lapse meant that some Walgreen cus-
tomers migrated to competing stores
to ll their prescriptions before the
companies reached a new deal that
started last September.
CVS drugstores gained some busi-
ness from that split.
Shares of Walgreen climbed 52
cents to $49.24 in morning trading
Monday. Shares of Woonsocket, R.I.-
based CVS Caremark rose 24 cents to
$58.27, and St. Louis-based Express
Scripts was up 40 cents to $61.80.

NEW YORK McDonalds is add-
ing three newQuarter Pounders to its
menu as the fast-food chain looks to
offer cheaper premium burgers while
capitalizing on one of its most popu-
lar brands.
The company, based in Oak Brook,
Ill., says the new burgers will replace
its meatier Angus Third Pounders,
which were among the most expen-
sive items on its menu at around $4 to
$5. The Quarter Pounders will come
in two of the same varieties as the
Angus burgers Bacon and Cheese
and Deluxe. The third option will be
Habanero Ranch.
McDonalds Corp., which has about
14,000 U.S. locations, says the new
burgers will roll out nationally in mid-
June. The new Quarter Pounder line
will use a bun that has eight grams of
whole grains, while the original Quar-
ter Pounder will stay with its regular
bun.
The swap for burgers withless meat
comes as restaurant chains across the
industry face rising beef prices.
McDonalds has also been going
to greater lengths to emphasize the
affordability of its food in a push to
turn around slumping sales. That
has forced Burger King and Wendys
to adjust their marketing and focus
more heavily on deals as well.
Analysts worry that the escalating
value wars will leadto shrinking prot
margins. But McDonalds executives
say the strategy is necessary to steal
away customers at a time when the
restaurant industry is barely growing.
Greg Watson, senior vice presi-
dent of the menu innovation team at
McDonalds USA, said the company
started looking at revamping its burg-
er portfolio about a year ago and real-
ized that it hadnt done much to tin-
ker with the Quarter Pounder, which
was introduced in 1971 and remains
one of the chains best sellers.
The new Quarter Pounders were
tested at restaurants in Sacramento,
Calif., and Toledo, Ohio, over the past
nine months.

In the midst of a spring cleaning
blitz, the most important thing
to tackle is the beloved refrigera-
tor. The fridge is the most used
household appliance, and clean-
ing it thoroughly will ultimately
prepare you for some serious
spring training. (And the bonus is
you can burn about 180 calories
cleaning the fridge.)
So rst, remove everything
from the fridge. Everything. If
anything is expired, throw it out.
Then, thoroughly clean all of the
shelves and drawers with hot,
soapy water. Spilled food and
drinks can harbor bacteria and
germs, which can make you sick.
After the refrigerator is clean,
it is time to reorganize. Some-
thing as simple as changing the
location of food items can have
a huge impact on your eating
habits.
Want to eat more of the good
stuff? Heres how to organize
your fridge, and make that hap-
pen:
Top shelf: Although most of us
love to put our fruits and veggies
down in the crispers, that good
food is often forgotten at the
bottom of the fridge. So move the
good stuff up to the top. Your top
shelf is the shelf that says, I can
freely eat these foods. That top
shelf should be brimming with
fruits, veggies and water.
Second shelf: Store a plethora
of protein and healthy snacks
here. This shelf is at eye level,
and you want to keep food here
that will grab your attention. This
is the snack and go shelf. Stock
it with low-fat yogurt, cheese,
hummus, eggs, cottage cheese,
nuts and nut butters.
Third shelf: This is the meal
prep and thirst-control area, the
place to store the components of
the days dinner marinated lean
meat, cooked brown rice, quinoa.
The door: Consider the door
a place for Flavor Enhancers.
This is where you house the items
that will add a little zing to your
healthy meal. The door is the
place for salsa, mustard, fruit
preserves, low-fat salad dressings
and fresh herbs.
The freezer: The freezer is the
place for food that lasts. Some of
the best deals come in bulk, so
stock up! Avoid buying processed
food, which has high sodium
content. It is a good idea always
to have frozen veggies and fruit
on hand to toss into stir-fries and
smoothies.

hen Edna Sorber patted her
thigh, Mary Kiewlak knew what
she wanted.
Kiewlak, of Nanticoke, scooped
up Angel, her friendly, black-and-white cocka-
poo, and gently placed the little dog into the
welcoming lap.
I love them, said Sorber, 81, hugging An-
gel and smiling at the rest of the canine contin-
gent that scampered eagerly into the activities
roomat Birchwood Nursing and Rehabilitation
Center in Nanticoke on a recent Tuesday eve-
ning.
Soon 90-year-old Helen Gill was lavishing
under-the-chin stroking on two shelties, Pa-
sha and Sheila, while 60-year-old Janet Genis
reached down from her wheelchair to rub the
top of Vicars head in that special spot between
his ears.
Oh, you like that, she cooed to the big
golden retriever who had come with his own-
er, Mary Neely of Plymouth.
For a really exuberant greeting, nothing
quite beat the enthusiastic face-licking 70-year-
old Catherine Lamoreux received courtesy of
Isabella Rose, a toy poodle owned by Diane
Rebar of Larksville.
Catherine, you wont have to wash your
face tonight, activities aide Cheri Castiglione
teased a grinning Lamoreux.
This is so rewarding, said Phyllis Sinavage
of Plains Township, owner of the two shelties,
who takes her pets on therapy-dog visits to
various nursing centers and the occasional pri-
vate home about three times a week.
Sinavage said she can tell the people enjoy
the visits and so do the dogs.
Pasha especially shell jump out of my
arms and cuddle right next to a patient in a
bed. She could stay there forever. The other
one, Sheila, she likes to show off. Shell shake
paws. Shell roll over.
The local dog owners who visit Birchwood
once a month are members of Therapy Dogs
International.
The organization, based in Flanders, N.J.,
encourages its 20,000 dog-owner members to
visit people who can get a boost fromthe non-
judgmental, unconditional love of a dog. It
also trains evaluators who can judge whether
a dog is suitable for this kind of mission, said
Nanette Winter, secretary of the organizations
board of directors.
A good therapy dog is born, not made.
Thats what our founder, Ursula Kempe, says,
Winter said in a telephone interview. They
should be friendly, even-tempered, adaptable
and just have the willingness to tune in to
people , to know who needs them most. You
can train a dog to be obedient and have good

SAN JOSE, Calif. The hu-
man brain is far slower than
a Major League fastball or a
blistering tennis serve but it
has gured out a workaround.
New research by University
of California-Berkeley scien-
tists solves a puzzle that has
long mystied anyone who
has watched, in awe, as elite
athletes respond to incoming
balls that can surpass 90 mph.
The brain perceives speed-
ing objects as further along in
their trajectory than seen by
the eyes, giving us time to re-
spond, according to research
by Gerrit Maus, lead author of
a paper published in Wednes-
days issue of the journal Neu-
ron.
This clever adjustment
compensating for the sluggish
route from the eyes to neural
decision-making is a so-
phisticated prediction mecha-
nism, he said.
As soon as the brain knows
something is moving, it pushes
the position of the object mov-
ing forward, so theres a more
accurate measure of where this
object actually is, said Maus.
This is useful in survival
situations far more important
than sports such as when
were crossing a street, in front
of a speeding car.
Former Yankees catcher
Yogi Berra pondered the mys-
tery, once asking: How can
you think and hit at the same
time?
You cant, because theres
not time for both.
But you dont need to think
about it, because the brain
does it automatically, said
Maus.
At the average major league
speed of 90 mph, a baseball
leaves the pitchers hand and
travels about 56 feet to home
plate in only 0.4 seconds, or
400 milliseconds.
Tennis is even faster. Last
May, courtside radar guns mea-
sured a serve by British player
Samuel Groth at 163 mph.
In that split second, theres a
lot of work for the body to do.
Eyes must rst nd the ball.
The sensory cells in the retina
determine its speed and rush
this information to the brain.
Then the brain sends messag-
es through the spinal cord that
tell muscles in the arms and
legs to respond.
By time the brain receives
the information, its already
out of date, said Maus.
The researchers said it can
take one-tenth of a second
for the brain to process what
the eye sees. That means, for
example, that by the time the
brain catches up with in-
coming visual information, a
fast-moving tennis or baseball
would already have moved 10
to 15 feet closer than the im-
age in the eye.
A region in the back of the
brain, called area V5, computes
information about motion and
position and projects where
it thinks the ball should be,
rather than where the eyes saw
it.
For the experiment, six
volunteers had their brains
scanned with a functional MRI
as they viewed the ash-drag
effect, a two-part visual il-
lusion in which we see brief
ashes shifting in the direction
of a motion.
The researchers found that
the illusion ashes per-
ceived in their predicted loca-
tions against a moving back-
ground and ashes actually
shown in their predicted loca-
tion against a still background
created the same neural ac-
tivity patterns in the V5 region
of the brain.
In an earlier study, they stim-
ulated this part of the brain to
interfere with neural activity,
and disrupted this visual posi-
tion-shifting mechanism.
The nding could also help
explain why altered trajecto-
ries can fool us such as ten-
nis backspins or baseball pitch-
es with so-called late break.
A clearer understanding of
how the brain processes ob-
jects in motion can eventually
help in diagnosing and treat-
ing myriad disorders, includ-
ing those that impair motion
perception, according to the
UC Berkeley team. People who
cannot perceive motion cannot
predict locations of objects and
therefore cannot perform tasks
as simple as pouring a cup of
coffee or crossing a road, re-
searchers said.
The brain doesnt work in
real time, said Maus.
Hey, just how fast is that ball going?
By LISA M. KRIEGER
San Jose Mercury News
BALTIMORE ALinthicum,
Md., rm is among several or-
thotics and prosthetics compa-
nies that will offer victims of the
Boston Marathon bombing arti-
cial limbs at no charge if their
insurance doesnt cover all or
some of the costs of the devices.
Dankmeyer Inc., founded by
an amputee who lost a leg in
a childhood skating accident,
joined with other rms late last
month in announcing the Co-
alition to Walk and Run Again.
The companies have agreed not
to charge victims who provide a
doctors note proving they dont
have insurance to cover the
devices, which cost $8,000 to
$60,000.
Ma nuf a c -
turers of pros-
thetic compo-
nents agreed
to provide
knee, foot and
other parts to
enhance the
use of basic
prostheti cs.
Some compo-
nents will en-
able the am-
putees to run
again.
We hope
this gives the
victims peace
of mind to know they will be
able to have prosthetics and
not have to worry about if their
insurance will cover it so they
can get back to their previous
lifestyle, said Charles Dank-
meyer, whose father started the
company.
Erika Brannock, a 29-year-old
teacher at a Towson, Md., pre-
school, is among those Dank-
meyer hopes to help. Brannock
had her left leg amputated, fam-
ily members told The Baltimore
Sun. She was at the race cheer-
ing on her mother when the ex-
plosion occurred.
Dankmeyer CEO Mark Hop-
kins said he has been in contact
with friends of Brannocks about
helping her with any costs. Hop-
kins said amputees can gener-
ally be tted with a prosthetic a
month after surgery to remove
the limb.
Members of the coalition
said it is too early to know how
many people they will be able to
help. The bombing killed three
people, injured at least 264 and
took the limbs of 14, according
to The Boston Globe.
Dankmeyer and the other
rms will cover the cost of the
prosthetic but not doctor and
physical therapy fees.
Advocacy groups say insur-
ance doesnt always cover the
cost of prosthetics. Some com-
panies put a $1,000 cap on how
much they will pay while others
cover one device in a lifetime,
according to
the Ameri-
can Orthotic
& Prosthetic
Association.
Prosthetics
must be re-
placed every
ve to seven
years.
In Mary-
land, the
G e n e r a l
As s e mb l y
passed a
prost het i c
parity bill
in 2009 that
removed caps and exemptions
that made the devices costly for
patients. Prosthetic parity leg-
islation at the federal level has
seen little movement in Con-
gress.
The announcement by the
orthotics and prosthetics com-
panies comes as others have
pledged to help the victims
as well. Country star Kenny
Chesney started the Spread the
Love fund to help those who lost
limbs. Proceeds from the sales
of a single by that name will be
used to help buy prosthetics and
provide other care to amputees.

any men will expe-
rience prostate en-
largement as they get older,
some to the point that it
will cause urination prob-
lems. Dr. Michael Naslund,
director of the Maryland
Prostate Center at the Uni-
versity Maryland Medical
Center, said there are many
options for treatment, in-
cluding surgery, drugs and
lifestyle changes.
Q: What is the prostate and
how does it function in the
body?
A: The prostate gland sits be-
neath the bladder in men. The
primary function of the prostate
in a young man is to produce
some of the uid in the ejacu-
late and to transport urine and
sperm out of the body through
the urethra.
Q: Why is an enlarged pros-
tate a health risk?
A: As men age, the prostate
enlarges and in some men en-
larges to the point where there
is partial or complete blockage
of urine ow from the bladder.
In this situation a man can de-
velop difculty passing urine.
Q: What are the symptoms of
an enlarged prostate?
A: The bladder is a muscle
and like any muscle, it will
thicken if it has to squeeze
harder to push urine through
a partially obstructed prostate
gland. The increased thickness
leads to a decrease in bladder
capacity and reduced ability of
the bladder to expel urine. This
process results in frequent uri-
nation, a weak urinary stream,
sudden urges to urinate, the
need to strain to get urine to
pass and urinating more than
once during the night. In some
cases, the obstruction is such
that the bladder does not empty
completely or sometimes is un-
able to empty at all. If the blad-
der cannot empty, the man de-
velops urinary retention and has
to be catheterized.
Q: Who is most likely to suf-
fer from an enlarged prostate?
A: Prostate enlargement be-
gins microscopically when a
man is in his 40s, but usually
men over 50 are the ones both-
ered by prostate enlargement.
Just because a mans prostate
is enlarged does not mean he
needs treatment. Many men
have enlarged glands and are
never bothered with urine ow.
Q: What causes an enlarged
prostate?
A: The exact molecular cause
of prostate enlargement is not
known. What is known is that
advancing age and male hor-
mones are the main risk factors
for prostate enlargement.
Q: Which tests are done to
evaluate an enlarged prostate?
A: The evaluation of a man
with an enlarged prostate is usu-
ally an evaluation of his urinary
symptoms. If he is not bothered
by his symptoms, the residual
urine left over in the bladder
after urination can be checked
with an ultrasound, and if that
volume is acceptable, no treat-
ment is needed. If the bladder
is not emptying adequately or if
the man is bothered by his uri-
nary symptoms, there are both
medical and surgical treatment
options available.
Q: How is an enlarged pros-
tate treated?
A: For most men, medication
is usually the rst treatment
considered. There are two class-
es of medicines: alpha-blockers
and 5-alpha reductase inhibi-
tors. Which medicine is used
depends on the specics of a
mans situation.
In some instances, both medi-
cines are used simultaneously.
As long as bladder function is
good, approximately 75 per-
cent of men can be managed, at
least initially, with medications
in a satisfactory manner. There
are side effects, which occur in
5 percent to 8 percent of men
from these medicines, but, in
general, they are well tolerated.
Medical management does
not work for all men.
In addition, there is a subset
of men who, for various reasons,
do not want to take medications.
In these settings, there are some
minimally invasive procedures
as well as surgical procedures
that can be done to alleviate the
obstruction.
The standard operation is
transurethral resection of the
prostate (TURP). In this pro-
cedure, the obstructing tissue
is surgically removed from the
inside of the prostate. To visual-
ize how this is done, the pros-
tate could be considered as an
orange.
During the surgery, the fruit
is resected and peel is left be-
hind leaving a wider opening
for urine to pass through. This
is a very effective procedure at
relieving obstruction.
The downside to TURP is
that there are some side effects
that can occur which are unde-
sirable.
In recent years, minimally in-
vasive surgical procedures have
been developed.
The advantage of these proce-
dures is that the side effect and
complication risk is decreased,
but a potential disadvantage is
that in many men the results are
not as consistent as those with
a TURP.
There are options that heat
the prostate either with radio
frequency energy or microwave
energy.
The heat to the tissue shrinks
the prostate and interrupts the
nerve supply, which can im-
prove symptoms in many men.
In addition, many urologists
now use a laser to perform va-
porization of the prostate as
a substitute for the standard
TURP.
Men who have bothersome
urinary symptoms should dis-
cuss this issue with a urologist.
Some men are concerned about
bringing this to the doctors at-
tention for fear that they may
require treatment.
Many older men today re-
member either their father or
another male relative 20 or 30
years ago who received pros-
tate surgery and was never the
same afterward.
With modern techniques, the
complications and risks of sur-
gery are much less than in previ-
ous eras.
Treatment is not something a
man should fear if he is having
difculties urinating.

manners, but if a dog is aggressive toward people and
other dogs, its hard to get rid of those kinds of issues.
After the half dozen therapy dogs visited Birchwood
residents in the activities room last week their own-
ers walked them down the halls to interact with other
people in individual rooms if the residents wanted
to.
Would you like a visit from the dogs tonight?
Kiewlak asked, tapping on the open door of a room.
The man inside declined, and Kiewlak took Angel
away with a quiet Have a good night, sir.
But other residents were quite happy to see the ani-
mals. Theyre nice dogs, a woman named Frances
said from her bed as Vicar, the big golden retriever,
rested his head against her arm and gazed at her with
big, soulful eyes.
Across the hall, a resident named Regina didnt
speak, but her face seemed to turn pink with pleasure
as one of the smaller dogs nuzzled her.
Regina, look at the puppy! activities aide Casti-
glione said. Youre all smiles, Regina! Beautiful pup-
py! Oh, you made a friend, Regina!
Activities director Carla Krakowski said its not un-
common for a resident who doesnt respond to people
to respond to a friendly animal.
There was one resident who wouldnt even sit up,
Krakowski said. When a dog came in she sat right up
and started talking about how when she was a girl she
always had dogs. At times it was the only response we
would ever get from her.
Its magic, the work our dogs can do, Winter said.
They have a way of reaching people because they
give non-judgmental, unconditional love. Thats such
a great healing experience for people. We dont get a
lot of that from one another.
One elderly resident enjoys visits from the local
dogs so much, Kiewlak said, He told me if we come
by and see that hes asleep, Angel has permission to
wake him up.
As the local dogs and owners nished making their
rounds in one area of the Birchwood Nursing Center,
Castiglione urged them to hurry to the next oor,
where more residents were eager to see their four-
legged friends.
Theyre waiting for you, she said. Theyre wait-
ing in the hall.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am a
woman in my late
40s and I hate sex.
I always have and
always will. Im
disabled, and it has
always been torture.
I never got any posi-
tive benefits out of it.
My problem is I get hit on con-
stantly. I tried marriage once, more
for financial reasons than anything
else, but I couldnt wait to get out.
Im single now, own my own home,
and the men in this town (married
and single) all seem to think Im
fair game. Theyre convinced that
Im in need of satisfaction because I
dont date or have a steady man in
my life.
I have told them repeatedly that
its not going to happen, but every
once in a while one pops up on my
doorstep or approaches me in town,
only to be told AGAIN to leave me
alone.
Please dont tell me to see a thera-
pist. The last one I went to tried to
tell me I was gay. No! Im simply
happy being single and sex-free. I
go where I want and dont have to
answer to anyone. Short of running
these idiots off with a shotgun, how
do I get it through their thick skulls
that Im not available?
Sexless by Choice
Dear Sexless: Although we live
in a sex-obsessed society, not every-
one male or female is a sexual
creature. Your therapist should not
have tried to label you as gay. You
appear to be asexual, which you de-
scribe as happily sex-free.
The next time you are hit on by
one of these men who, by the
way, probably think that by doing
so they are helping tell him
you are happy with your life just
the way it is, and it isnt necessary
to offer help where none is needed.
Period.
Dear Abby: I really like this girl, but
my parents absolutely cannot stand
her. They hate that she has a tattoo
and a lip ring, but her appearance
has had no effect on her professional
life, as she is on the road to success
in her field. I am not writing to ask
whether I should stay with her, be-
cause I intend to. Shes an amazing
person, a hard worker, a trustworthy
partner and, most of all, shes my
best friend.
How can I diffuse potentially
combustible situations with my
parents, who always try to put her
down no matter how often I plead
my case?
Joe in Rhode Island
Dear Joe: Whether your parents
approve or not, tattoos seem to
have become a rite of passage for
many people of your generation,
and so have lip rings, eyebrow
rings and multiple ear piercings.
If you are over 21 and living inde-
pendent of your parents, then you
have the right to choose the women
you become involved with. From
your letter, Id say your values are
mature.
In time, your parents may recog-
nize the fine qualities you see in this
young woman. If they dont, they may
wind up estranging a son. Right now,
getting into a debate about her will
be a losing proposition and Im advis-
ing you against it.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Single woman who doesnt like sex is hit on constantly by men who do
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). If your
happiness seems to come in
small doses today, consider your-
self lucky. Enjoyment and brev-
ity go hand in hand. Pleasure in
excess becomes pain.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The
things you habitually say to
yourself to keep motivated will
help a friend who could use
encouragement. Being good to
yourself always leads to being
good to others.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Uncomfortable feelings are like
glasses that warp and distort
your point of view. Dont try to
fix anything when youre agi-
tated. Get relaxed first. To fix
things, you must see them how
they are.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
usually respect authority, but
today you feel like breaking the
rules, and you could probably
get away with it, too, because
you are so charming!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You love to
be entertained. But youll also
be keen on the difference
between a fun story and a flat-
out lie told for personal gain or
social acceptance.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youll do
a bit of wizardry on your physical
image and discover your knack
for the fairy magic called glam-
our. Did you know that before
Hollywood took over the term it
was associated with tiny nature
spirits?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When
does optimism become unreal-
ism? Youll have fun finding out.
You are feeling extra-fanciful
now and in the mood to stretch
the boundaries of your mind.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Many
will seek your counsel. Feel good
about this, as its a sign that
youre a leader. When people
want to talk to you, it means
they respect you and your input
matters.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
The conspiracy theorists and
those who pay regular visits to a
mental playground of morbidity
feed on the attention of others.
Dont buy in. Stay on the bright
side.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It
only takes one person to start
the change. Youll be the one
to see things differently and to
speak up about it. Youre not
trying to play the rebel, but you
cant help but notice the corrupt
aspects of the current system.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
have a strict moral code, though
you rarely think about this until
situations arise to challenge
or remind you of it. Others will
be influenced by the way you
handle things.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Many
requests will be made of you,
but dont let that keep you from
doing what you really want to
do. Youll follow the purpose in
your heart, and it will take you
directly home.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 14). You
push yourself toward high goals
and reach some of them, too.
Your motivation will vary from
month to month as you continu-
ally seek new inspiration. The
system you set up in June will
make you richer by September.
Aries and Virgo people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 4,
1, 22, 30 and 19.
