The state Attorney Generals Office will leave it
to Luzerne County authorities to investigate a
Kingston lawyer who admittedly double-billed
the county for legal services.
Bills submitted by attorney Angela Stevens
have come under scrutiny since a Times Leader
investigation revealed she routinely charged the
county travel time for each pet-
ition she delivered to the county
courthouse, even when multiple
petitions appeared to have been
delivered in a single trip, and
sometimes claimed to have
worked more than 24 hours in a
day.
Stevens, a partner in the Py-
rah/Stevens law firm, has ad-
mitted she made billing errors but contends they
were oversights.
In a letter received Tuesday by District At-
torney Stefanie Salavantis and Controller Walter
Griffith, Deputy Attorney General Richard A.
Sheetz Jr. said the investigation into whether
Stevens violated state law falls under the author-
ity of the district attorney.
I have spoken to District Attorney Salavantis
and she advised me that her office is investigating

The Kingston attorney admitted she made
mistakes in billing for legal services.

NANTICOKE -- First-year
students at Luzerne County
Community College are being
urged to sign a non-binding
agreement to transfer to Tem-
ple University after theyve put
in two years at the Nanticoke
school.
If they wind up meeting re-
quirements, theywouldnot on-
ly be guaranteed admission to
the Philadelphia university,
but those with stronger grades
also could be
given scholar-
ships worth up
to $2,000 a
year.
The dual ad-
mission agree-
ment entered
into between
the two colleg-
es last year
took effect this
semester. On
Thursday, rep-
resentatives
from Temple
will be on the
LCCC campus
to explain the
program and
requirements.
The agree-
ment provides
LCCC gradu-
ates automatic
acceptanceintoTempleaslong
as the students grade-point av-
erage is 2.3 or higher. The
agreement also allows LCCC
graduates to qualify for $1,000
per year, up to three years, if
their grade-point average is 3.3
to 3.64. If their GPA is 3.65 or
higher, the scholarship money
is $2,000 per year up to three
years.
In order to take part in the
program, students must notify
Temple of their intent to trans-
fer before they have completed
30 credits at LCCC.
Dr. GaryMrozinski, thedean
for business and technologies
at LCCC, said the school is en-
couraging students to enroll
because once they hit 30 cred-
its and they change their mind
about wanting to participate,
its too late. But if they sign the
agreement and change their
mind, theres no penalty.
He said too often students
enrolling in two-year schools
dont think about where theyll
gowhentheygraduateandthis
LCCC in
deal with
Temple U.
Pact would ensure students
acceptance into Temple after
two years at LCCC.

WASHINGTON The fate of
President Barack Obamas health
care overhaul was cast into deep-
er jeopardy Tuesday as the Su-
preme Courts conservative jus-
tices sharply and repeatedly
questioned its core requirement
that virtually every American
carry insurance. The court will
now take up whether any rem-
nant of the historic law can sur-
vive if that linchpin fails.
Thejustices questions inTues-
days hearing carried deeply seri-
ous implications but were some-
times flavored with fanciful sug-
gestions. If the government can
force people to buy health insur-
ance, justices wanted to know,
canit require people tobuy burial
insurance? Cellphones? Brocco-
li?

EXETER -- In a district that is
contemplating closing an ele-
mentary school, it was the costs
of repairs to another elementary
school that raised the most ques-
tions Tuesday at the Wyoming
Area School Board meeting.
Parents did raise questions
about the potential closing of the
Sarah J. Dymond Elementary
School in Harding, but taxpayers
raised more questions about the
approval of pursuing a loanfor up
to $3 million for repairs to the
Montgomery Avenue Elemen-
tary School in West Pittston.
The board narrowly approved
the Department of Agriculture
loan in an amount not to exceed
$3 million by a 5-4 vote, with
board President Frank Casarella
casting the deciding vote. Busi-
ness Manager Tom Melone said
the district had been unable to
find a lender who could meet the
3.75 percent interest rate offered
bytheDepartment of Agriculture
and that there were no prepay-
ment penalties if the district opts
to pay off the loan in less than the
40-year term.
But board and audience mem-
bers alike took exception to the
40-year loan, noting that the very
children who are going to the
school will be saddled with the
debt until they are in their 50s.
Some taxpayers also raised con-
cerns about the amount of money
to be borrowed, and questioned
the boards insistence that it does
not intendtospendall $3million,

POLICE BLOTTER
Another family has filed suit
against Anthony J. Lupas Jr., al-
leging the attorney bilked them
out of at least $100,000.
Attorney Walter T. Grabowski
filed two writs of summons in
Luzerne County Court on Mon-
day for members of the Lusaitis
family of Plains Township.
So far, more than 20 plaintiffs
have filed suit against the 77-
year-old Lupas, claiming he
took their money in a bogus in-
vestment scheme.
The story seems to be the
same as the other plaintiffs,
Grabowski said. Attorney Lu-
pas met them through an at-
torney-client relationship or per-
sonal relationship, told them he
could earn them 7 percent in-
terest tax free, that he was go-
ing to invest the money in a
type of trust, and then the pay-
ments stopped coming the same
time as (the other victims).
Joseph Lusaitis and his wife,
Romaine, are suing Lupas on
behalf of themselves, and Jo-
seph Lusaitis and his sister Au-
drey Lusaitis are also suing as
executors of their mothers es-
tate.
Grabowski said his clients
claim they lost in the low six
figures investing with Lupas.
Grabowski said he would
leave it to the Luzerne County
Sheriffs Department to serve
Lupas with notification of the
suit.
Last week attorneys for the
Bochetto & Lentz law firm of
Philadelphia, who are represent-
ing more than a dozen of Lupas
alleged victims, expressed frus-
tration over Lupas apparent
ducking of their efforts to
serve him court papers in per-
son. Sheriffs deputies have so
far been unable to track him
down.
More angry investors sue Lupas
Lawsuits say the local lawyer
took money in a bogus
investment scheme.

WILKES-BARRE Vladimir Ruiz was
with several friends on Jan. 16, 2011, out-
side the Penn Palace tavern in Hazleton
where he agreedtoa fair fight against An-
gel Sanchez.
The fight, designed to be fists only and
a handshake at the end, turned deadly
when Rodolfo Hiraldo Perez, 25, pulled a
knife and stabbed Ruiz, Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Shannon Crake said Tues-
day.
Crakes statement came in the first day
of Perezs trial on homicide charges in
Ruizs death. Perez was scheduled to
standtrial this weekwithAngel Sanchez,
21, but Sanchez pleaded guilty Monday
to a third-degree murder charge relating
to Ruizs death.
Testimony will continue this morning.
Defense attorneys deferred their open-
ing statement until the prosecution com-
pletes its case.
Crake said Sanchez and Ruiz, 21, had
arguedthe day before anddecidedto end
the feud in a fair fight.
The fight was caught on surveillance
video and shown to jurors Tuesday. The
video shows, two of Ruizs friends testi-
fied Tuesday, Sanchez and Ruiz fighting
and fists flying. Soon, Sanchez can be
seen kicking and stomping Ruizs head.
Thats when, Crake saidinher opening
statement, Perez jumped in and began
stabbing Ruiz.
The friends, as well as Hazleton police
officer WilliamGallagher, identified San-
chez as being a member of the NewYork-
and New Jersey-based Trinitarios gang,
and said Perez is likely also a member.
But, Elvis Ferrer, Ruizs friend, testi-
fied he was there the night of the fight,
and it wasnt gang-related the two just
had a score to settle. Ferrer said he saw
Perez pull the knife and stab Ruiz, but he
didnt learn until he went home that
morning that Ruiz had died.
Prosecutors alsocalledFreddyMendo-
za, another friend of Ruizs, who testified
that at one point during the fight, he
triedtopull Sanchez away fromRuiz, but
Perez, whomhe called Mosquito, swung
the knife at him, cutting his sweatshirt.
Gallagher testified Tuesday he had ar-
rested Ruiz and Sanchez the day before
the homicide after he and another officer
saw the two fighting near Wyoming and
Green streets in the city.
Gallagher said he cited Ruiz with dis-
orderly conduct andother charges, while
Sanchez was cited with disorderly con-
duct.
The two men, Gallagher said, were
taken to the Hazleton Police Depart-
ment, where they continued to yell at
each other, each stating it wasnt over
between them.
Crake said that during the trial prose-
cutors will alsocall a forensic pathologist
who performed an autopsy on Ruiz.
Gary Ross will testify, Crake said, that
Ruiz received massive facial and blunt-
force trauma to his head and ultimately
died from a stab wound to his heart.
Crake urged jurors to pay close atten-
tion to witnesses and how they testify,
and to remember videos cant lie.
(Perez) intended on killing Vladimir
Ruiz, Crake said. Perez is guilty of first-
degree murderand of being a co-con-
spirator.
Prosecution:
Fight turned
into stabbing
Opening statements set stage for
case against Rodolfo Hiraldo Perez,
charged in death of Vladimir Ruiz.

Project begins on River Street
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER
Work began on Tuesday on the Pennsylvania American Water Co. pipe replace-
ment project on River Street in Wilkes-Barre. The utility is starting by replacing
pipes from Jackson to Academy street. A busy mile-long stretch of River Street
will be constricted by the work over the next seven months, but delays should be
limited, according to Susan Turcmanovich, a company spokeswoman. The project
will replace 6,600 feet of cast iron pipe dating back to the 1890s and cost approx-
imately $2 million.
Roughly 1,069 new crimi-
nal cases have been picked
up by the Luzerne County
District Attorneys Office
this year to date, District At-
torney Stefanie Salavantis
told county council Tuesday.
Salavantis, who took of-
fice this year, said she also
inherited about 2,500 pend-
ing cases, some dating back
to 2003.
She is working
with the Public
Defenders Office
and courts to hold
settlement confer-
ences to get the
dated cases resolv-
ed or scheduled
for trial. Salavan-
tis said shes con-
cerned about the
backlog because
some of the de-
fendants could
walk, arguing they
didnt get speedy
trials.
Her status re-
port was required
under home rule. The coun-
tys charter says the district
attorney must publicly pre-
sent an update on operations
during the first quarter of
each year.
Salavantis said the new
2012 cases include 377
drunken-driving charges.
She said that number seems
high, though she has not had
the chance to compare the
statistic to cases in other
similarly sized counties. She
told council she is working
with the court on a plan to
fast-track the processing of
DUI cases.
The addi-
tion of
1,069 new
cases is tell-
ing, she
told coun-
cil.
Crime is
not decreasing, she said.
Salavantis said the office
is also handling hundreds
more cases involving juve-
niles, and she expects that
number to rise in the sum-
mer when school is out.
She praised the countys
mental health and drug
courts, which provide spe-
cialized treat-
ment and recov-
ery plans for eli-
gible offenders.
These courts al-
leviate the bur-
den on her office
and have re-
duced the likeli-
hood of repeat
offenses, she
said.
The office also
will swear in ad-
ditional youth
aid panel mem-
bers on Monday,
she said. These
community vol-
unteers deter-
mine appropriate puni-
shment for first-time juve-
nile offenders who commit
minor offenses, giving them
the opportunity to get their
charge erased.
The district attorney said
the county would benefit
from a centralized court
scheduling system that may
be accessed by judges, her
office and the Public Defend-
ers Office, though its un-
clear if the county can come
up with funds to purchase a
system.
Salavantis said her assist-
ant district attorneys are
sometimes scheduled to ap-
pear before five different
judges at the same time,
forcing continuances that
cost the county time and
money.
The office employs 23 as-
sistant district attorneys, 32
support staff and 10 detec-
tives, she told council.
County officials have
questioned the necessity of
detectives. Salavantis said
they provide valuable assist-
ance.
Council Chairman JimBo-
beck asked if she has consid-
ered eliminating some de-
tectives to increase the allot-
ment of assistant district at-
torneys.
Salavantis said staff reallo-
cation wasnt an appropriate
topic for discussion at the
public meeting, and she
stressed she has the author-
ity to determine the appro-
priate staffing structure of
her office.
Gangs are an increasing
problem in the county, she
told council. A recent ma-
chete attack outside a
Wilkes-Barre school was un-
fortunate but also opened
peoples eyes about the ex-
istence of such activity, she
said.
In other business Tuesday,
the council appointed for-
mer county Emergency
Management Agency direc-
tor Kevin OBrien to a vacant
unpaid seat on the county
Flood Protection Authority.
Office inundated by cases, DA says
The county council hears
the first district attorney
status report.

The office has 1,069 new crimi-
nal cases, 2,500 leftover cases.
Staff includes 23 assistant DAs,
32 support staff, 10 detectives.
Hundreds of juvenile cases are
being handled.
BY THE NUMBERS
Gangs are an in-
creasing problem
in the county, Sala-
vantis told council.
A recent machete
attack outside a

school was un-

opened peoples

activity, she said.

required immunizations.
A clinic will be at the Luzerne Coun-
ty State Health Center, 665 Carey Ave.,
Suite 2, Wilkes-Barre. Students need to
be registered for an appointment by
Friday. To register, visit www.padoh-
clinicappt.com. Call 877-PA HEALTH
(877-724-3258) for more information.
The most recent copy of the stu-
dents vaccination history must be
provided at the time of the appoint-
ment. Students must be accompanied
by a parent or guardian. All vaccines
also need to be appropriately spaced to
be considered valid.
New immunization regulations re-
quire children in all grades to receive a
second dose of mumps vaccine and a
second dose of the chicken pox vac-
cine. They also require seventh-grade
students to have one dose of meningo-
coccal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) and
one dose of the tetanus, diphtheria and
acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap).
While the department established
the new regulations, enforcement is up
to individual school districts.

WILKES-BARRE -- A man pushing a
baby stroller was reportedly shot Tues-
day near a city playground.
City police and other emergency re-
sponders were called to 302 Hazle Ave.
shortly after 4 p.m. for a report of a
man shot in the leg. The victim was
transported from the scene by ambu-
lance a short time later. Initial 911 re-
ports described the incident as a drive-
by shooting, but those reports could
not be confirmed Tuesday.
Wilkes-Barre police said the incident
is under investigation by city detec-
tives. They would not identify the vic-
tim, release information about his con-
dition or confirm additional details
about the ongoing investigation.
Another Hazle Avenue resident, who
would not give his name, identified the
victim as Darnell Jackson, a man in his
early 20 whose mother lives on the
first floor of 302 Hazle Ave.
The neighbor said he saw Jackson at
the corner of Park Avenue and Lehigh
Street at approximately 4 p.m. He was
with his girlfriend, pushing a baby car-
riage, the neighbor said.
About five minutes later, the neigh-
bor again saw Jackson, this time at the
corner of Moyallen Street and Hazle
Avenue, bleeding from his upper thigh.

A man who had been practicing as a
veterinarian in the Wyoming Valley
pleaded guilty in Oklahoma court Mon-
day to a sodomy charge in a case in
which investigators say he had sex with
a horse.
Thomas Barret Lyle Wilson, 28, last
known address Terrace Street, Wilkes-
Barre, was sentenced to five years pro-
bation by a district judge in Tulsa Coun-
ty.
District Judge William Musseman
granted a request by Wilsons attorney,
Robert Wyatt, to have the probation
transferred to Pennsylvania to be super-
vised by a probation department.
Wilson was charged in October 2010
in an incident from September 2009
when a doctor working at the Legacy
Equine Centre in Glenpool, Okla., ob-
served Wilson having sex with a horse
via a live video feed from a barn.
The doctor approached Wilson, who
had been working at the center while
studying at Oklahoma State University,
about the incident.
Im glad you caught me, Wilson
told the doctor, according to court pa-
pers. I need help.
Wilson had previously worked at the
Back Mountain Veterinarian Hospital
in Dallas. A call there by The Times
Leader in January was answered by a
woman who said Wilson was no longer
with the hospital.
As of March 21, Wilson voluntarily
surrendered his Pennsylvania veterin-
ary license, making him ineligible to
practice veterinary medicine.
Wilson must register as a sex offend-
er, according to court documents, and
must complete 80 hours of community
service.
Investigators say Wilson graduated
from OSU with a doctorate of veterin-
ary medicine in July 2010.
Wyatt, of Oklahoma City, could not
be reached for comment.

WILKES-BARRE The Luzerne
County Historical Society will host
the opening of a new exhibit -- The
Wonderful Story of Planters Peanuts
beginning Saturday and running
through October. A preview reception
will be held Friday evening.
The exhibit tells the story of Italian
immigrants Amedeo Obici and Mario
Peruzzi, who founded Planters Pea-
nuts Co. in Wilkes-Barre in 1906. It
includes the birth of Mr. Peanut in
1916 and the growth and development
of the company and its products up to
today.
To make things even more celebra-
tory, the Peanut Pals about 900
Planters Peanuts collectors will
hold their annual convention in
Wilkes-Barre in July at Genetti Hotel
& Convention Center.
On Tuesday, museum curator Mary
Ruth Burke readied hundreds of
items for the exhibit
that are sure to bring to
mind the aroma of
fresh-roasted peanuts
and the sight of Mr. Pea-
nut on Public Square.
The exhibit, which
will remain on dis-
play through Oct. 27,
will feature a re-creation
of the Planters Peanut
Store that once stood
at 15 E. Market St.,
photographs, docu-
ments and artifacts
from several per-
sonal collections on
loan from family
members and collec-
tors.
Pencils, ink pens, dis-
hes, coloring books,
watches, jewelry and many
other items will be fea-
tured. Jars and cans and
wrappers of Planters peanut products
the first vacuum-packed containers
also will be displayed, Burke said.
Mike Chmiola of Hanover
Township, who led the effort to
have a historical marker erected
at the site of the Planters Pea-
nuts building on South Main
Street, said he cant wait to see
all the displays at Fridays re-
ception.
We want to keep alive the
significance of Planters Pea-
nuts starting out in
Wilkes-Barre, he said.
Burke hopes people
visit the exhibit and
tell their Planters Pea-
nuts memories.
Janeann and John Lok-
ken of Mountain Top, orga-
nizers of the Peanut Pals con-
vention, are looking forward to
seeing all the memorabilia.

PHILADELPHIA
Priest abuse trial continues
P
rosecutors in Philadelphia are
showing jurors memos to try to
prove the Philadelphia archdiocese
covered up complaints that priests
were molesting children.
Monsignor William Lynn is the first
Roman Catholic church supervisor in
the U.S. charged with endangering
children by keeping accused priests in
ministry. Letters read in court Tuesday
show Lynn telling a parish that ac-
cused pastor Edward Avery was on a
health leave in 1993, when Avery was
undergoing sex-therapy treatment at a
Catholic hospital.
The letters also reveal a church pol-
icy not to act on complaints unless a
priest was diagnosed as a pedophile.
Avery pleaded guilty Thursday to
sexually assaulting a 10-year-old altar
boy in 1999.
The Rev. James Brennan is on trial
with Lynn, charged with trying to rape
a 14-year-old boy in 1996.
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA
Obama eyes Pakistan thaw
President Barack Obama, closing a
nuclear security summit Tuesday,
sought a thaw in the diplomatic chill
with Pakistan, a critical but difficult
U.S. partner whose nuclear weapons
and historical links to terrorism make
its arsenal among the worlds most
vulnerable.
The meeting between Obama and
Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza
Gilani broke a four-month moratorium
on direct top level contacts between
the United States and Pakistan. Obama
and Gilani were among more than 50
leaders who met here to reaffirm con-
trols on nuclear material that might be
bought or stolen by terrorists for a
bomb. Obama headed back to Washing-
ton after the summit ended.
Ties with Pakistan deteriorated last
year after the military raid that killed
al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden,
when the United States kept Pakistani
officials in the dark about the oper-
ation.
HARRISBURG
Petition residency rule gone
Pennsylvania residents no longer
have to live within a given district to
circulate petitions to put candidates on
the ballot, under a state Supreme
Court decision issued Monday.
The high courts unanimous ruling
resolved a conflict between state and
federal court decisions regarding the
Pennsylvania Election Code by enforc-
ing a 2002 federal court injunction
against the residency requirement.
It makes no sense to require pet-
ition circulators to live in the same
district, said Witold J. Walczak, legal
director of the American Civil Liberties
Union of Pennsylvania, which handled
the case for a candidate for the Legisla-
ture in 2010. Its an artificial barrier to
allowing candidates to get on the bal-
lot.

Coroner: Body is teacher
The Vermont prep school teacher
whose toddler was found alone in her
idling SUV over the weekend was
killed, a medical examiner ruled Tues-
day as an autopsy confirmed a body
found along an isolated stretch of road
was indeed hers.
Melissa Jenkins exact cause of death
was not released so as not to inhibit
the probe, authorities said. Police did
not say whether they had a suspect in
their sights, and detectives returned
Tuesday to the area where the body
was found to collect more evidence.
A shrine to the science teacher, 33,
was set up at the prestigious St. Johns-
bury Academy, a boarding school that
also serves as the public high school.

ORLANDO, Fla. Officials
with the National Hurricane Cen-
terhadamessageTuesdayforresi-
dents living inhurricane-prone ar-
eas: Dont tape your windows.
Center officials are joining with
a consumer advocate group at the
National Hurricane Conference in
Orlando, Fla. this week to encour-
age residents to skip taping their
windows when a hurricane is
heading their way. They believe it
leads to a false sense of security
and actually increases danger.
Instead, residents should use
provenmethodssuchashurricane
shutters or impact-resistant win-
dows, Bill Read, directorof theNa-
tional Hurricane Center, told hun-
dreds of meteorologists andemer-
gency management officials at the
weeklong conference. Attendees
aregoingtosem-
inars on insur-
ance policy and
emergency com-
munications as
well as hawking
hurricane-relat-
ed wares such as
canned food and
building-harden-
ing materials.
Our goal is to
break this
myth, Read
said, referring to
taping. It does
not protect your
windows. At
best, its an in-
convenience. At
worst, somepeo-
ple have the illu-
sion that theyre
safe ... and peo-
ple can get severely hurt.
Taping windows can create
larger and deadlier shards of glass
whenwindsblowthroughahome,
said Leslie Chapman-Henderson,
president andCEOof Federal Alli-
ance for Safe Homes.
The shards can become bigger
because theyre being heldtogeth-
er, Chapman-Henderson said.
Youre wasting your time. Youre
wasting your money and youre
potentially increasing the danger
to your home.
Even some disaster manage-
ment officials are guilty of advis-
ing residents to use tape on their
windows. Readsaidwhenhestart-
ed working in the 1970s, taping
windowswasstill advisedinhurri-
cane brochures. That advice was
eliminated from brochures in the
1980s, but it still persists today,
he said.
Hurricane Irenes devastation
last year in Vermont and upstate
New York was an impetus for the
campaign, saidChapman-Hender-
son, because thousands of resi-
dents in the Northeast taped their
windows. Her group is enlisting
local TV meteorologists to tell
viewers Go Tapeless at the start
of the coming Atlantic hurricane
season, which starts in June.

MINEOLA, N.Y. The mil-
lions of students who take the
SATor ACTeachyear will have
to submit photos of themselves
when they sign up for the col-
lege entrance exams, under a
host of new security measures
announced Tuesday in the af-
termath of a major cheating
scandal on Long Island.
The two companies that ad-
minister the tests, the College
Board and ACT Inc., agreed to
the precautions under public
pressure brought to bear by
Nassau County District Attor-
ney Kathleen Rice, who is over-
seeing the investigation. The
measures take effect in the fall.
Rice has charged 20 current
or former students from well-
to-do, high-achieving suburbs
with participating in a scheme
in which teenagers hired other
people for as much as $3,500
each to take the examfor them.
The five alleged ringers arrest-
ed in the case were accused of
flashing phony IDs when they
showed up for the tests. All 20
have pleaded not guilty.
In one instance, a young man
allegedly producedIDandtook
the test for a teenage girl who
had a name that could have
been either male or female.

QAA, Lebanon Syria accepted a
cease-fire drawn up by U.N. envoy Kofi
Annan on Tuesday, but the diplomatic
breakthrough was swiftly overshadowed
by intense clashes between government
soldiers andrebels that sent bullets flying
into Lebanon.
Opposition members accuse President
Bashar Assad of agreeing to the plan to
stall for time as his troops make a renew-
edpushtokill off bastions of dissent. And
the conflict just keeps getting deadlier:
The U.N. said the death toll has grown to
more than 9,000, a sobering assessment
of a devastating year-old crackdown on
the uprising that shows no sign of end-
ing.
Annans announcement that Syria had
accepted his peace plan was met with
deep skepticism.
We are not sure if its political maneu-
vering or a sincere act, saidLouay Safi, a
member of the opposition Syrian Nation-
al Council. We have no trust in the cur-
rent regime. ... We have to see that they
have stopped killing civilians.
British Foreign Secretary William
Hague saidAssads decisiontoaccept the
plan was only a first step.
We will continue to judge the Syrian
regime by its practical actions, not by its
often empty words, he said.
In Washington, State Department spo-
keswoman Victoria Nuland said Assad
must act quicklytoconvince the worldhe
is serious about peace by silencing his
guns and allowing humanitarian aid to
get in.

HAVANA Pope Benedict XVI
stressed themes of freedom and change
as he prayed before a powerful symbol of
the Cubannationaheadof a visit withthe
islands president on Tuesday. Communi-
st leaders had a quick response: No to po-
litical reform.
Benedict visited the shrine of the na-
tions patron saint, the Virgin of Charity
of Cobre, and spent moments in prayer
before the diminutive wooden statue.
I have entrusted to the Mother of God
the future of your country, advancing
along the ways of renewal and hope, for
the greater good of all Cubans, the pope
said at the sanctuary in the little town of
El Cobre, outside of Santiago.
I have also prayed to the Virgin for the
needs of those who suffer, of those who
are deprived of freedom, those who are
separated from their loved ones or who
are undergoing times of difficulty.
Marino Murillo, Cubas economic czar
and a vice president on President Raul
Castros council of ministers, soon made
it clear that officials would not be respon-
ding with any political changes.
While the country is shaking up its
economy, he told a room full of journal-
ists covering the pope, in Cuba there
will not be political reform.
At El Cobre, the pope pointedly re-
ferred to the Virgin by her popular name,
La Mambisa, in a gesture to the many
non-Catholics on the island who none-
theless venerate the statue as anAfro-Cu-
ban deity. Mambisa is the word for the
Cuban fighters who won independence
fromSpain at the turn of the last century.
In subtle ways, the pope has acknowl-
edged a lack of faith in what is Latin
Americas least Catholic countries, and
tried to make his trip appealing to poten-
tial believers.

After Bin Laden comes some-

saidCampbell, a CampHill native
who now resides in Alexandria,

will be over.
Campbell said
programs like the

dia are needed to
keepthedanger on

tohavefrankdiscussions about 9/

made since that time.
Were better off today, but
were not done yet, Campbell
said.
Brian Carso, the director of the
Government, Law&National Se-
curity program at Misericordia,
helped organize the program. He
agreed its important to continue
discussing 9/11and homeland se-
curity, especially for younger citi-
zens. Every year, the events of
Sept. 11, 2001 become more re-
mote to our incoming students,
who were in elementary school
whenthe attacks tookplace, Car-
so said. We want our students to
have a full understanding of the
challenges of national security so
that wecanprotect ourselvesfrom
actsof terrorismwhileat thesame
time preserving the freedom at
the core of American life. Its a dif-
ficult balancing act that requires
open eyes and open minds.
DALLAS TWP. More than a
decade after the terrorist attacks
of Sept. 11, 2001, a former Depart-
ment of Homeland Security offi-
cial says hes concerned the ab-
sence of a successful follow-up at-
tack on U.S. soil has made Amer-
icans complacent.
Duncan Campbell, who served
as chief of staff to TomRidge, the
nations first director of the De-
partment of Homeland Security,
said that because the department
has done such a good job in pre-
venting domestic terrorism, resi-
dents who had been on high alert
a decade ago have begun to fall
back into their pre-9/11 routines.
There was an
urgency after 9/
11, saidCampbell,
40, who will be the
featured guest at a
symposium host-
ed by Misericordia

Campbell Federal authorities areinves-
tigating a former PNC Bank
employee whomay have stolen
money from investors in
Northeastern Pennsylvania,
according to the bank.
Customers who invested in
securities and brokerage prod-
ucts servicedbytheformer em-
ployee were notified in a letter
dated Feb. 15 that the employ-
ee may have divertedcustomer
funds into one of his own ac-
counts, taken money in con-
nection with fictitious securi-
ties transactions or received
personal loans from custom-
ers.
We are gathering all rele-
vant information and working
with federal law enforcement
officials to address these mat-
ters as expeditiously as possi-
ble during the ongoing investi-
gation, the letter signed by
PNC Investments Territory
Sales Executive Frank Consalo
states.
The letter asks customers
who believe transactions were
not properly credited to their
accounts or who have other in-
formation that may be relevant
to the investigation to contact
the bank.
Fred Solomon, spokesman
for PNC Financial Services
Group, said all customers
whose accounts were serviced
by the employee received the
letter, though all accounts he
serviced were not affected.
Those who were not notified
are not impacted, he added.
Solomon said the possible
theft was largely geographi-
cally limited to Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
PNC did not release the for-
mer employees name and
would not reveal howmuch he
may have taken or when the al-
leged theft occurred.
Solomon said PNC is assist-
ing authorities in their investi-
gation.
PNC is committed to de-
tecting and stopping fraud and
we work closely with law en-
forcement to inform our cus-
tomers of suspected fraud as
soon as is appropriate, he
said.

WILKES-BARRE Wilkes-
Barre Crime Watch Coalition is
re-emphasizing one of its 22
rules of conduct for the more
than 400 volunteers who help pa-
trol city streets.
When a person becomes a
member for a dollar a year, they
sign a paper that they will follow
our policies and conduct, said
coalition president Charlotte
Raup. One of those rules is no
weapons of any kind. They are
not to carry any weapons when
they are out on citizen patrol.
Raup posted rule No. 8 on the
coalitions Facebook page shortly
after a Florida crime watch cap-
tain shot and killed a 17-year-old
boy last month.
We are the eyes and ears for
our neighbors, Raup said. We
watch out for our neighbors and
we call police and retreat. That
rule (8) has been in place for 25
years.
The rule reads: No weapons
of any kind will be carried while
on patrol. This also applies to
persons who may have a con-
cealed weapon permit from the
Luzerne County Sheriffs Office.
Raup said there has never
been a situation in her 20 years
with the coalition that a volun-
teer was found carrying a weap-
on.
Other notable rules say crime
watch volunteers must patrol in
pairs, prohibit the confrontation
and questioning of criminals in
the act, and does not allow vol-
unteers to chase fleeing crimi-
nals.
Everything we gather we pass
it on to state police and the
Wilkes-Barre police, Raup said.
Crime watch volunteers re-
cently alerted police to two bur-
glary suspects and a man break-
ing into vehicles.

HARVEYS LAKE Back
Mountain emergency respon-
ders are giving the new Luzerne
County administration two
weeks to resolve an ongoing dis-
pute with county 911officials be-
fore bringing things to a head
with county council.
Emergency responders from
seven Back Mountain communi-
ties on Monday night attended a
press conference called by Har-
veys Lake officials
to make the public
aware of problems
they are having
with county 911dis-
patch protocols.
Harveys Lake
Deputy Emergency
Management Agen-
cy Coordinator
Rich Williams said
the press confer-
ence was necessary
because he called
county manager
Robert Lawton six
times about the is-
sue and Lawton did
not return a call un-
til Williams informed him he
was going to the media. He said
the previous administration did
not address the issues raised last
year.
Williams said Luzerne Coun-
ty 911s move in October to stop
simultaneously dispatching a
Kunkle ambulance crew along
with a Harveys Lake ambulance
crew for calls in Harveys Lake
could cause up to a nine-minute
delay in response time the dif-
ference between life and death.
Harveys Lake ambulance is
totally volunteer and has relied
on Kunkle for back-up when the
borough doesnt have a full crew
available. Kunkle doesnt have
the problems with volunteer
availability that Harveys Lake
sometimes experiences, but
Kunkle also has no problem
with responding simultaneously
to a Harveys Lake call even if not
needed, Williams said.
Kunkle Fire Chief Jack Dod-
son agreed. He said the simulta-
neous dispatch system worked
well for more than 50 years, and
there was no reason to change it.
But since October, when 911
dispatches an ambulance call to
Harveys Lake and there is no re-
sponse within three minutes, it
will call Harveys Lake a second
time. If no response is received
after three more minutes, it will
dispatch a third time. Only after
a total of nine
minutes with no
response will 911
dispatch Kunkle,
unless Harveys
Lake previously
informed the
county it did not
have a crew avail-
able.
And thats the
way it is in all
communities in
the county, said
911 Executive Di-
rector David
Parsnik. There
is no simultane-
ous dispatch. We
ask ambulance organizations to
let us know when theyre in ser-
vice and when theyre not. If
theyre not in service or they fail
to crew, then the second-due is
dispatched.
Parsnik said the countys new
$1.8 million computer-aided dis-
patch system that went into op-
eration in October wasnt set up
for simultaneous dispatch of
ambulance calls. We dont want
to dispatch two (Advanced Life
Support) units to one call, he
said.
Parsnik said Act 78, a state
law governing provision of
emergency services, authorizes
the county to design and imple-
ment a 911 dispatch system. He
said the system works fine as it
is and there is no reason to
change it. The only way there
would be a problemis if Harveys
Lake told us they were in service
and they werent able to crew,
he said.
But Williams said Parsnik is
choosing the sections of Act 78
he wants to follow. He said an-
other section of the statute
states that the county plan
shall be designed to meet the
individual circumstances of
each community and public
agencies participating in the
911system.
And, Williams said, Act 8 stip-
ulates it is up to the borough to
determine the means and extent
to which emergency services
will be provided with in the bor-
ough. Act 78 states the county
plan must meet the boroughs
individual circumstances, he
said.
Trucksville Fire Chief Bill Eck
said county officials dont seem
to understand or want to accom-
modate the circumstances of
communities with all-volunteer
emergency services.
I believe the county is trying
to force the volunteers out by
driving these useless mandates
down our throats, Eck said.
Williams said it should be
noted that there is money to be
made in fire and EMS, and hav-
ing a private ambulance compa-
ny provide back-up could lead to
more taxes or higher fees for res-
idents.
There are two kinds of pro-
viders those who do it because
they love their community and
helping other people, and those
who do it for the money, he
said.
Williams emphasized that it is
not 911dispatchers causing a
problem, because they follow
protocols set by managers; their
problem is with 911 manage-
ment, they said.

PLAINS TWP. On consec-
utive nights, two men allegedly
threw rocks, potatoes and plum-
bers putty at passing vehicles
and tractor-trailers on Interstate
81 in 2011 and caused more
than $11,300 in damage, accord-
ing to charges filed.
State police at Wyoming on
Tuesday filed more charges
against Samuel Gensel, 20, of
Wilkes-Barre, and Robert Dales-
sandro Jr., 21, of Plymouth,
with District Judge Diana Ma-
last.
The two men allegedly threw
the objects between 3:55 a.m.
and 4:07 a.m. Aug. 8 striking at
least six cars and tractor-trail-
ers, and again around 12:10 a.m.
Aug. 9, hitting 13 cars and trac-
tor-trailers near mile marker 172
in the southbound lane of the
interstate.
State police said Gensel and
Dalessandro threw the objects
from the highway median when
the right travel lane was closed
due to construction, forcing ve-
hicles to drive in the passing
lane closer to the median.
Dalessandro was captured
fleeing the scene the night of
Aug. 9. Gensel surrendered af-
ter learning Dalessandro had
been taken into custody, state
police said.
According to the criminal
complaints:
Gensel told troopers that they
were bored and drinking beer
when they decided to take turns
throwing rocks, potatoes and
plumbers putty at tractor-trail-
ers on Aug. 8.
The next night, Gensel
stated, they threw rocks the
size of baseballs at 13 vehicles,
hearing a window smash on one
of the vehicles, the criminal
complaints say.
State police initially charged
Gensel and Dalessandro in Ja-
nuary with throwing objects on
Aug. 8. A preliminary hearing
for the charges filed earlier this
year is scheduled today.
The latest charges filed
against the two men accuse
them of throwing rocks on Aug.
9.
There were no reported in-
juries.
State police said damage esti-
mates were more than $11,300.
More charges filed
in rock-toss spree
Two men are accused of
causing more than $11,000 in
damage to vehicles on I-81.

The leading national organiza-
tion opposing same-sex mar-
riage has sought to split the
Democratic Party base by pitting
African-Americans and Hispan-
ics against gay-rights groups, ac-
cording to confidential strategy
memos made public by court of-
ficials in Maine.
The strategic goal of this pro-
ject is to drive a wedge between
gays and blacks two
key Democratic constitu-
encies, says one of the
memos. It also suggests
interrupting the proc-
ess of cultural assimila-
tion for Hispanics in
hopes of curtailing sup-
port for same-sex mar-
riage.
The documents, dat-
ing from2009, were writ-
ten by the National Orga-
nizationfor Marriage and
had been kept from the
public until Monday,
when they were unsealed
by court officials in
Maine.
They were part of a
two-pronged legal challenge of
Maines financial disclosure
laws. Still unresolved is whether
the NOMwill have to release the
names of donors to its successful
2009 campaign to ban same-sex
marriage in Maine.
The Human Rights Cam-
paign, a major gay-rights organi-
zation, first circulated the docu-
ments Monday night, and its
president, Joe Solmonese, as-
sailedthe strategies that they de-
tailed.
With the veil lifted, Ameri-
cans everywherecannowseethe
ugly politics that the National
Organization for Marriage traf-
fics in every day, Solmonese
said.
NOMs president, Brian
Brown, was unapologetic, issu-
ing a brief statement hailing his
organizations collaborationwith
black and Hispanic leaders, in-
cluding Bishop Harry Jackson, a
Maryland church pastor, and
NewYork state Sen. Ruben Diaz
Sr.
Gay marriage advocates have
attempted to portray same-sex
marriage as a civil right, but the
voices of these and many other
leaders have provided
powerful witness that
this claim is patently
false, Brown said.
Gay marriage is
not a civil right, and
we will continue to
point this out in writ-
ten materials such as
those released in
Maine, Brownadded.
We proudly bring to-
gether peopleof differ-
ent races, creeds and
colors to fight for our
most fundamental in-
stitution: marriage.
The NOM docu-
ments depicted Dem-
ocratic Party leaders
as increasingly inclined to privi-
lege the concerns of gay rights
groups over the values of Afri-
can-Americans.
Find, equip, energizeandcon-
nect African-American spokes-
people for marriage; develop a
media campaign around their
objections to gay marriage as a
civil right; provoke the gay mar-
riage base into responding by de-
nouncing these spokesmen and
women as bigots, one memo
said.
Gay-marriage foes
sought to create rifts

base with issue pitting gays

WASHINGTON Mitt Rom-
neys presidential fundraising op-
erationdwarfs thoseof his Repub-
lican rivals, with more than $75
millionalready indonations. It al-
so operates mysteriously at
times, withholding the names of
Romneys major fundraisers who
have helped amass much of its
money.
Now, a reviewby The Associat-
ed Press of campaign records and
other records pro-
vides clues to the
vast national net-
work of business
leaders bringing
in millions to put
Romney in the
Oval Office. The APs review
identified dozens of people who
fit the profile of top Romney fun-
draisers, known as bundlers for
their ability to sweep up dona-
tions fromwealthyacquaintances
and steer them to campaigns.
At least seven are the mega-
richdonors whoeachgave gifts of
at least $1million to an allied pro-
Romney political committee.
Dozens more were listed on invi-
tations for fundraising events, as-
signed to mine their business and
personal networks for maximum
campaign contributions. The AP
identified likely Romney bun-
dlers through interviews, finance
records, event invitations and
other publicity about campaign
events.
Romneys campaign will not
identify his major fundraisers
unlike President Barack Obamas
organization, which in January
disclosed both bundlers identi-
fies and their fundraising thresh-
olds. Federal lawdoes not require
the Romney campaign to divulge
the names, but both GOP and
Democratic presidential candi-
dates in recent years routinely
provided the identities and mon-
ey ranges of their top fundraisers.
The lack of transparency by the
Romney campaign about its top
bundlers prevents voters from
knowing who wields influence in-
side the GOP frontrunners cam-
paign and how their interests
might benefit if he is elected.
Romney is in California this week
for at least five private
fundraisers typically
off-limits to media cov-
erage.
Even in the era of su-
per political commit-
tees, which can pull in
millions of dollars inun-
limited and effectively
anonymous contribu-
tions to support candi-
dates, bundlers are
their own campaign
forces. Unlike super
PACs, which under fed-
eral law are not sup-
posed to coordinate
with candidates, bun-
dlers raise large
amounts that are depos-
ited directly into a campaigns
bank account money that can
be spent to pay for salaries, get-
out-the-vote efforts and advertis-
ing.
Bundlers aretypicallywell-con-
nected business and banking ex-
ecutives whotaptheir profession-
al and social networks to steer in-
dividual contributions from oth-
ers to the campaign in amounts
that can range from $10,000 to
well over $500,000. Experienced
bundlers can reach these highest
amounts quickly. Persuading 25
couples to attend a VIP reception
with the candidate for $2,500
each the maximuman individ-
ual can give a campaign can
raise $125,000ina single evening.
This presidential election is ex-
pected to be among the costliest
ever. Obamas re-elec-
tion campaign has
raised just over $151
million. His campaign
released the names of
its bundlers inlate Janu-
ary, and the list illus-
trates how important
these elite fundraisers
have become. More
than 440 bundlers have
collected at least $75
million to help Obama
win a second term, in-
cluding 61 people who
each raised at least half-
million dollars.
Federal law requires
only that candidates
identify bundlers who
also are registered lobbyists,
which the Romney campaign has
done. Sixteen lobbyists repre-
senting a wide range of interests
raised nearly $2.2 million for him
last year, according to FEC re-
cords. Andrea Saul, a Romney
spokeswoman, saidthe campaign
discloses all the information
about its donors required by law.
But withholdingcomplete bun-
dler lists deprives voters of criti-
cal knowledge about the back-
ground and interests of those
who have helped keep Romneys
campaign flush with cash.
A few weeks before the Repub-
lican primary in Florida in Janu-
ary, for instance, Stephen Ross,
the billionaire owner of the NFLs
Miami Dolphins, hosted a fun-
draiser for Romney at his ocean-
front home in Palm Beach.
The same month that Ross in-
vitedfriends andcolleagues tohis
home, Romneys campaign re-
ceived $317,000 from nearly 150
people who share Rosss exclu-
sive ZIP code on Floridas east
coast, according to Federal Elec-
tion Commission records.
That mysterious surge of dona-
tions outpaced all contributions
to Romney during the previous
year from the wealthy Palm
Beach area, when the campaign
collected $270,000 over nine
months. Romney got $21,000
more fromresidents there in Feb-
ruary. But voters wouldnt know
about the event at Rosss home
because Romneys campaign
doesnt disclose all its bundlers
and the sums they collect.
Campaign fundraising has
been a bright spot for Romney
during the bruising GOP pri-
mary.

Hey, batter, batter!
Tips to help your swing
T
he best advice you can get on how to
play baseball is to just go out and have
fun.
Normally you are taught to hit an inside
pitch in the front part of home plate and
take a short stride (or no stride at all). And
you should keep your hands between your
body and the ball as you swing.
Another way to hit an inside pitch would
be to stand farther away from home plate
and use a slightly longer bat, or have a
very short swing and eliminate your stride.
You should start off with your hands
placed just below your rib cage and in line
with the inside of your back foot. And
instead of swinging normally at the ball
you would just twist your whole body
towards the ball and try to hit the ball with
the bat. This would greatly increase your
chances of hitting an inside pitch.
A wider shoe will give you more bal-
ance. Torque is a way of improving your
batting power and your pitching power.
To improve your hitting, take some
hollow plastic baseballs and inject them
with different amounts of water. Then toss
one in the air with your glove hand while
holding the bat with your throwing hand.
Throw the ball up at different heights and
grab the bat with both hands and try to hit
the ball.
You can adjust your stance at any time in
your career to fit your body. For example,
you could take an open stance and modify
it by slightly changing the positions of
your feet and still have an open stance.

An invitation to enjoy
some regional history
A
nthony T.P. Brooks, director of the
Luzerne County Historical Society,
will be speaking to the Nanticoke
Historical Society on Thursday, March
29th at 7 p.m. at the Samantha Mill House,
adjacent to the Mill Library at 495 E. Main
St., Nanticoke.
Brooks is a 10th-generation native of
Pennsylvania descending from Isaac Ben-
nett, an original shareholder in the Susque-
hanna Company who came to the Wyom-
ing Valley to plant crops in 1762. He claims
to be a perfect blend of seven different
nationalities that make up the Wyoming
Valley from Connecticut Yankee farmers,
Irish canal workers, German artisans to
English miners, from Welsh Methodists to
Byzantine Catholics.
Brooks will be presenting a slides show
speaking on architectural influences in the
Wyoming Valley over the last 250 years.
Seating is limited; early arrival is recom-
mended. Refreshments will be available.

IF YOU WANTED to see
the epitome of joyful sur-
prise, you had to have your
eyes on Devin Reed when
word pronouncer Jean Ly-
nott said the sixth-grader
had won the regional spell-
ing bee.
Mind you, Jean - a former Times Leader
colleague - had a wide grin, too, but Devin
looked like Charlie Bucket right after he
found a golden ticket granting him a visit to
Willie Wonkas candy factory.
Heck, Devins slightly curled hair, fresh
face and bright eyes would make him a fine
double for Peter Ostrum, the actor who
played the lucky boy in the 1971 movie ver-
sion of Roald Dahls classic book.
A judge at the regional bee since 2007, I
keep volunteering despite the time it takes
to prepare (we go through much of the word
list to gain confidence in pronunciations).
And I keep coming back despite the effort it
takes to remain impartial.
I cant help but wish I could offer a little
advice, like ask for an alternate pronuncia-
tion! or Ask for the word used in a sen-
tence! Every year I suspect at least one or
two contestants would have survived anoth-
er round that way simply because the pri-
mary pronunciation is not the way theyve
heard the word spoken.
When you see this up close and personal,
you really do hate to hear any of them mis-
spell. Each year we inevitably yearn to send
three or four, rather than one, to the national
bee in Washington, D.C.
There is gripping drama in watching them
mentally grabble for the right letters (grab-
ble: from a Dutch word - move the hand, as
in searching, in a groping fashion).
There is a compelling back story of encou-
raging parents. Before the bee, one mother
asked a colleague if spellers had to include
diacritical marks, such as the umlaut (origi-
nally German - two adjacent dots placed over
a vowel to indicate partial assimilation to a
succeeding sound) or macron (from Greek -
that little dash above a vowel showing it is
long).
The answer is no, though you may be
asked to spell a diacritical mark. Both um-
laut and macron were on our list this year,
though contestants were doing so well, we
skipped ahead to tougher words before reac-
hing umlaut.
To survive, spellers had to know their
Maine lobster from a South or American
langosta (from Latin to Spanish, a spiny
lobster from our southern neighbors.)
They had to give the spelling according to
Websters Third New International Dictio-
nary, not a putative spelling (from Latin,
commonly accepted or supposed).
They had to think outside the colloquial
box (henna is a dye from a plant, not an
idiom for isnt it).
And they had to endure a total of 113
words spelled in 11 rounds that took a bit
more than an hour to complete.
Watching sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade
students compete in a spelling bee is a bit
like looking into the past, sure. Remember
standing in your class back then and trying
to pull the right letters from nowhere?
But its also a peek into the future. These
are bright children willing to train for and
face the substantial pressure of regional and
national competitions.
Watch them and your confidence in tomor-
row grows.

HAT DOwe see in
thefaceof Trayvon
Martin that
moved so many to
march in this weekends Mil-
lion Hoodie March?
Certainly, the photo of Mar-
tin, slain by an armed neigh-
borhood-watch captain as the
17-year-old walked home be-
cause he looked suspicious,
looks anything but suspicious:
a face more boy than man, an
open face of trust and youth.
But, wed do well to look at
that photo and ask what it is
about Trayvonthat looks differ-
ent fromthe hundreds of other
young black males who are
slain in this city and other ci-
ties around the country.
In Philadelphia, more than
90 percent of juveniles slain in
the past four years were Afri-
can-American. Why dont we
see faces of these young vic-
tims?
The outrage that Trayvons
killing sparkedis fueled by the
fact that he was unarmed and
that his Hispanic killer claimed
self-defense. The majority of
black-male homicide victims
are not slain by white or His-
panic males. They are slain by
black males.
Earlier this year, Mayor Mi-
chael Nutter tried to bring at-
tention to how many young
men are lost to the nexus of
guns, poverty and crime. The
real crimeis howlowweset the
bar for the survival of a gener-
ation of black men.

OTHER OPINION: TEEN DEATHS
Shooting raises
bigger questions
I
T DIDNT GET much
play a relatively short
piece on page three of
Mondays paper but Lu-
zerne County drivers should
take note.
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation statistics show
fatalities in crashes dropped
statewide last year, yet rose
here.
Times Leader staffer Ed Le-
wis reported that, according to
the Luzerne County Coroners
office, 50 people
were killed in motor
vehicle crashes in
2011, compared to 36
in 2010. Thats a 39
percent increase.
It doesnt look
much better if you go
back a bit. The fatal-
ity count in 2011 topped 2009
(44) and 2008 (33).
By contrast, statewide there
were 1,291 people killed in
crashes in 2011, 33 fewer than
in 2010, and the second lowest
count on record.
Statistically, it gets worse. In
2008, 2009 and 2010, there was
only one homicide by vehicle
in Luzerne County, meaning
alcohol was involved. In 2011,
sixdeaths were linkedtodrink-
ing and driving. Statewide,
that number has also dropped,
from417 in 2010 to 379 in 2011.
Clearly, this is a statewide
trend we do not want to buck.
And the answers, as always,
seem so simple its hard to un-
derstand why the basic rules
arent followed.
Dont drink and drive. Peri-
od. If you feel a compulsion to
be this foolish, stopafter a two-
drink max. But remember, im-
pairment really does begin
with the first drink, no matter
how sober you feel.
Dont use your cell phone,
and especially dont text, while
driving. Yes, such behavior has
become depressingly ubiqui-
tous, but the fact that stupidity
is widespread
doesnt make it
any less stupid.
Dont speed.
Stop completely
at red lights and
stop signs rather
than slowing and
rolling through.
Watch for pedestrians and cy-
clists, and give them the right
of way. Give yourself extra
time. No matter how impor-
tant you and what you do are, a
few seconds of your time in
transit is not worth someone
elses life.
Its a safe bet that most, if not
all of the 50 people who died in
crashes last year would still be
alive if the rest of us exercised
common sense behind the
wheel. It is also a safe bet that,
had fate played out differently,
any one of us could be part of
that sad statistic.
Reason enough to drive re-
sponsibly, and to reverse this
disturbing trend.
OUR OPINION: FATALITIES
Slow deadly trend
by driving safely
Had fate played
out differently, any
one of us could be
part of that sad
statistic.

William E. Parshall, Temple
Universitys director of extension
services andexecutive director of
the schools Ambler and Center
City campuses, said the agree-
ments with community colleges
throughout easternPennsylvania
and Camden County, N.J., have
been fruitful and entering Lu-
zerne County seemed like a log-
ical next step.
Temple approached LCCC
with the offer last spring, noting
that similar agreements were in
place with community colleges
serving students in Philadelphia,
Northampton, Lehigh, Carbon,
Monroe, Berks and Montgomery
counties.
We perceivedthere was a mar-
ket there, he said.
Parshall noted that 40 percent
of all Temple undergraduate stu-
dents started at another college
and20percent startedat commu-
nity college or technical schools.
He noted the economy is cer-
tainly changing the college land-
scape and more students are opt-
ing to attend community colleg-
es.
Not everybodyis abletoafford
the residential student experi-
ence, Parshall said. But withthis
program, and the financial incen-
tives incorporated into it, that
couldchange.
Mrozinski noted LCCC has
transferagreementswithmost lo-
cal colleges, including East
Stroudsburg, Bloomsburg, Keys-
tone, Scranton, Marywood,
Kings, Wilkes, Misericordia and
Penn State, but the dual admis-
sions agreement takes that to the
next level.
He said there is a meeting on
Thursdaywithoneof thelocal col-
leges to discuss an agreement
similar to the Temple deal, but
Mrozinski declinedtoidentifythe
school.
LCCC
crats two years ago, would affect nearly
all Americans and extend insurance cov-
erage to 30 million people who nowlack
it. Republicans are strongly opposed, in-
cluding the presidential contenders now
campaigning for the chance to challenge
Obama in November.
Audio for Tuesdays court argument
can be found at: http://apne.ws/Hft6z3
.
The court focused on whether the
mandate for Americans to have insur-
ance is a step beyond what our cases al-
low, in the words of Justice Anthony
Kennedy.
But Kennedy, who is often the swing
vote on cases that divide the justices
along ideological lines, also said he rec-
ognized the magnitude of the nations
healthcare problems andseemedtosug-
gest they would require a comprehen-
sive solution.
He and Chief Justice John Roberts
emerged as the apparent pivotal votes in
the courts decision. The ruling is due in
June in the midst of a presidential elec-
tion campaign that has focused in part
on the new law.
Though many of the justices asked
tough questions and made strong state-
ments, past cases have shown that those
dont necessarily translate into votes
when it comes time for a decision.
Todays final arguments the third
day in the unusually long series of hear-
ings will focus on whether the rest of
the lawcan remain even if the insurance
mandate is struck down and, separately,
onthe constitutionality of another provi-
sion expanding the federal-state Medi-
caid program.
The insurance requirement is intend-
ed to complement two unchallenged
provisions of the lawthat require insure-
rs to cover people regardless of existing
medical conditions and limit how much
they can charge in premiums based on a
persons age or health.
The lawenvisions that insurers will be
able to accommodate older and sicker
people without facing financial ruin be-
cause the insurance requirement will
provide insurance companies with more
premiums from healthy people to cover
the increased costs of care.
The biggest issue, to which the justic-
es returned repeatedly during two hours
of arguments in a packed courtroom,
was whether the government can force
people to buy insurance.
Purchase insurance in this case,
something else in the next case, Ro-
berts said.
If the government can do this, what
else can it not do? Justice Antonin Sca-
lia asked. He and Justice Samuel Alito
appeared likely to join with Justice Clar-
ence Thomas, the only justice to ask no
questions, to vote to strike down the key
provisionof the overhaul. The four Dem-
ocratic appointees seemed ready to vote
to uphold it.
Kennedy at one point said that allow-
ing the government mandate would
change the relationship between the
government and U.S. citizens.
Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr.
sought to assure the court that the insur-
ance mandate in the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act that Obama
signedintolawin2010is akeypart of the
laws goal of reaching many of the more
than 40 million people who dont have
health insurance through their employ-
ers, dont qualify for government aidand
cannot afford to buy coverage on their
own.
Paul Clement, who is representing
Florida and 25 other states in challeng-
ing the law, called the mandate an un-
precedented effort by Congress.
Clement, a predecessor of Verrillis as
solicitor general, said the requirement
would force people, especially those
who are young and healthy, to buy a
product they dont want.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she
foundthedebateover healthcaresimilar
toanearlier eras argument about the So-
cial Security retirement system. How
couldCongress beabletocompel young-
er workers to contribute to Social Secu-
rity but be limited in its ability to ad-
dress health care? she wondered.
Theres something very odd about
that, that the government can take over
the whole thing and we all say, oh, yes,
thats fine, but if the government wants
to preserve private insurers, it cant do
that, she said.

In response, some board mem-
bers stressed the need for repairs
to the schools roof and the re-
placement of the carpeting,
whichis 23 years old.

needs to be done for the kids,
saidCasarella.

ful decision about how much

Brownquestionedtheaccuracyof
the information presented at a
public hearing on options for res-
tructuring the elementary
schools, options that include the
possibility of closing either Sarah
J. DymondortheJohnF. Kennedy

You cant present pretend
facts, Brown said. Those were
not accurate numbers.
Board members said they
would be looking at all the num-
bers and revisiting every piece of
information over the next three
monthsbeforeadecisionismade.
I want tosee howyoucame up
with your numbers, too, said
board member Carl Yorina, who
said he has personally recalculat-
ed the savings to be gained by
closing Dymond to take into ac-
count the fact the school would
cost money evenif it is empty.
This turns into an ethical di-
lemma, Yorina said. Is it worth
shuttingit downandhaulinglittle
kids around, or do we leave it
open. This keeps me up at night.
Casarella told the audience the
matter is far fromdecided.
The board also addressed con-
cerns raised about the level of
qualification of five of the dis-
tricts special-educationteachers.
A state website listed 16 courses
at the Secondary Center inwhich
teacherswerelistedasnothighly
qualified.
Superintendent Ray Bernardi
and other district personnel ex-
plained that a clerical error in en-

ers who taught the 16 courses re-
sulted in them being mistakenly
listedas not qualified.

this matter, Sheetz wrote.
Salavantis said she believes the in-
vestigation is best handled by the coun-
ty, but she wants to review the results
of an independent audit of the bills Ste-
vens submitted for her work before
opening an investigation.
Stevens notified the county in Febru-
ary that she had hired Forensic Resolu-
tions Inc., of Haddonfield, N.J., to audit
her bills and promised to provide a
copy of the report to county officials.
The county had planned to hire its own
auditor but held off on those plans
when it learned Stevens had commis-
sioned the audit.
Salavantis said she expects to see the
results of the audit within a week and
will open an investigation if its findings
show one is warranted.
This is an issue which I think needs
to be addressed soon, and right now its
in the hands of the county, Salavantis
said. I personally would like to see
something happen soon.
Salavantis also said she does not be-
lieve she has a conflict of interest in
investigating Stevens.
Before becoming district attorney,
Salavantis was one of 18 attorneys who,
with Stevens, were retained to repre-
sent parents whose children were taken
by Luzerne County Children and Youth
Services due to child abuse allegations.
Salavantis previously said she sought
the guidance of the state Attorney Gen-
erals Office because invoices she sub-
mitted could be included in the Stevens
audit.
Salavantis said Tuesday she does not
believe she has a conflict of interest, a
point supported by the attorney gener-
als response.
In order for me to refer it out, there
needs to be some kind of conflict, Sa-
lavantis said. In the past few years
they were willing to handle more cases,
not only if there was a conflict but just
if someone didnt feel comfortable, but
nowadays they want the counties to
take on more of that responsibility.
Salavantis also said she does not be-
lieve there is a conflict in the county
handling the investigation.
Its not the county investigating it-
self, she said. It would be my depart-
ment investigating the billing practices
of an attorney who billed the county.
We have investigated other county
departments, she added.
Controller Walter Griffith, who first
asked the attorney general as well as
the FBI and U.S. Secret Service to
investigate the matter, said he would
be happy with county authorities hand-
ling the investigation, but questioned
Salavantis assertion that she does not
have a conflict of interest.
Quite honestly, I think if our DA can
handle it without any conflicts thats
best, Griffith said. I would refer to
her expertise as to whether she felt
there was a conflict or not. We would
be better served, (but) because she was
getting money from that fund, I would
think that she would almost have to
forward that to the Attorney Generals
Office. I dont feel that she would be
able to investigate that and be objec-
tive.

dow and was taken to a hospital
for treatment.
Stephanie Rodriguez, 19, said
she was sleeping when the fire

the sounds of people running and

whom she shares a bedroom,
opened the curtains to a blaze of

The family fled, but Rodriguez
went back into the house to res-
cue her dog. She said she heard a

screaming Help me! Help me!
It was Diego Sanchez. A few
minuteslater, Rodriguezsaid, she
sawDiego outside the house and
asked him what happened. She

All I remember is she pushed

cording to Rodriguez.

Aziah Hernandez. An autopsy
was planned for Tuesday night.
The man said he had been shot, the
neighbor said.
Jacksons mother was not home at
the time, the neighbor said, but other
relatives who live in the upstairs apart-
ment were and contacted 911.
A man in the upstairs apartment
stated he didnt know anything about
the shooting. A baby stroller was sit-
ting outside the home Tuesday after-
noon.
Police soon moved their investiga-
tion to a playground on Hickory Street,
a one-way that runs between Hill and
Dana streets, where they searched the
ground and interviewed neighbors.
After they left, what appeared to be a
shell casing remained on the sidewalk
near the park.
Neighbors near the playground ex-
pressed concern about the shooting but
said they did not witness it.
Can you tell me where theres a safe
place to live anymore? one man asked.
Another said he was concerned be-
cause his grandchildren play in the
park frequently.
Police told them to go inside while
they conducted their investigation, he
said.

NEW YORK For all the talk
about the strides soccer has made
intheUnitedStates, results of late
have been stark and disappoint-
ing.
The Americans were eliminat-
ed by Ghana in the last two World
Cups. The under-20 teams streak
of seven trips to the world cham-
pionshipendedlast year. Andnow
the under-23s have failed to make
two of the last three Olympics af-
ter their elimination Monday
night.
Yes, the U.S. plays the worlds
game better than it did 25 years
ago. The national team even
notcheditsfirstwineveroverpow-
erhouse Italy last month. But the
sputteringnature of the American
program has even its most loyal
supporters scratchingtheir heads.
Isit adisappointment?Yes. Isit
a failure? Yes, former national
teamdefender Alexi Lalas said af-
ter Mondaysunder-23loss. Isthe
sky falling? Absolutely not.
It was a crushing loss, however.
The under-23 team was eliminat-
ed fromOlympic qualifying when
it conceded a goal in the final sec-

Mesa followed that by launch-

PALM BEACH, Fla. Sean
Payton has planned the New Or-
leans Saints offseason, done
some work on the upcoming
draft and jotted down ideas for
the start of training camp.
And now, with his season-long
suspension set to begin Sunday,
he is checking to see if mentor
Bill Parcells would run the team
while he serves his penalty for al-
lowing a Saints assistant coach
and players to operate a crunch-
for-cash bounty system.
Speaking publicly for the first
time since the Saints were sanc-
tioned for targeting specific op-
ponents, Payton said Tuesday he
will soon decide whether to ap-
peal his suspension, something
Commissioner Roger Goodell
said he would allow.
Payton also said he was meet-
ing with Parcells, who lives near
Palm Beach, site of the NFL
meetings, to discuss the plan for
the season.
For me to be down here, if I
didnt call him or try to set up a
time to see him, Id probably get
his wrath, Payton said.
Payton said he, general man-
ager Mickey Loomis who is
facing an eight-game suspension
and team owner Tom Benson
are weighing a number of scena-
rios. Among them: Does Parcells

because if we could have put
one inandsettleddown, it could
have ended differently.
Instead, Patronick used her
WILKES-BARRE It was just
the first step, but a big one for
defending divisional champion
Meyers on Tuesday.
The Mohawks rode the
strength of two first-half goals
by junior Aubree Patronick to
hold off Tunkhannock 2-0 in a
Wyoming Valley Conference Di-
vision 2-B girls soccer game.
Meyers (1-0) won the title last
season, edging the Tigers (0-1)
by a mere half game. That put
the Mohawks in the District 2
playoffs and kept Tunkhannock
speed down the right side to
score unassisted in the 16th and
24th minutes.
Last year was her first year
with us, Meyers coach Jason
Nolan said. She started off a lit-
tle slow, but toward the end of
the season she was one of our
biggest threats along the front
line. I had a lot of seniors up
there, but as a younger under-
classman she stepped up. This
year, she earned her spot in the
starting lineup.
After those goals, the play
evened with both teams making
inroads in the penalty area but
not threatening. That changed
to start the second half.
Tunkhannock senior Mara
Sickler challenged Meyers
keeper Alivia Weidler just two
minutes after the break. She
made another run about 16 min-
utes later, but Meyers fullback
Katie Lehnert managed to steer
her just enough for her shot to
miss to the close post.
It wasnt the way Meyers envi-
sioned the opening minutes
where it wanted to attack and
build on its two-goal lead.

The change has been immedi-
ately noticeable. These new bats
even sound different than the old
ones.
After miserable weather damp-
ened long stretches of last sea-
son, Wyoming Valley Conference
baseball coaches have been
thrilled just to be able to get out-
side and stay there practicing
with their teams.
That extra work outside is
evenmoreimportant headedinto
Fridays opening day for the
league with the introduction of
the new BBCOR-certified bats
that have been mandated in high
school baseball across the nation.
BBCOR (Batted Ball Coeffi-
cient of Restitution) measures,
roughly, the trampoline effect of
the bat on a pitch. With the new
equipment, balls dont explodeas
dramatically off of contact, in-
creasing safety for pitchers and
fielders.
With bats that have a smaller
sweet spot, many area coaches
believe that the pace of games
will change significantly when
Division I games begin Friday
and Division II games open on
Tuesday.
Its certainly big difference.
The dynamics of the game
change, Holy Redeemer coach
Chris Ritsick said. Youll see
more small ball. More bunting,
more running. Its going to be
more of a pitchers game this
year.
The ball certainly doesnt car-
ry as much. Its not a huge differ-
ence from wood bats.

New bats provide safer play,

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees are not playing in
Moosic this season and 2013
could be in jeopardy as well.
According to a report from
Baseball America, International
League president Randy Mobley
said that for PNC Field to be
ready for next season, reno-
vations need to begin by April 1.
If that doesnt happen, the team
will have to look for another
plan for 2013 and it cant be the
same as this season where the
Yankees are playing 71 home
games at six different venues.
This is a one-year arrange-
ment, not to be repeated, Mo-
bley told the outlet.
The Lackawanna County
commissioners and the Lacka-
wanna County Multi-Purpose
Stadium Authority agreed in
2013 could be
in jeopardy

LEXINGTON, Ky. Anthony
Davis walked back into Ken-
tuckys hotel in Atlanta at the
South Regional when a young
girl approached.
She got onher knees andbow-
ed down to me like I was a king
and said, Bow to the Brow. She
was like 5 or 6, Davis said in an
interview with The Associated
Press. I just started laughing.
Man, fans of all ages, Kentucky is
crazy and I just love it.
Davis and his unibrow are a
perfect fit.
Hes a fun-loving teenager who
has swatted away and dunked
enough basketballs to become
the most dominating player in
the college ranks. And thats just
in one season at Kentucky.
His steady play and calm de-
meanor amid the crazy fan base
makes it easy to forget he just
turned 19 on March 11. Hes the
anchor of the Wildcats defense
and a ferocious shot-blocker,
leading the NCAAwith175 rejec-
tions.
But off the court, Davis said
hes a laid back guy who likes to
pull pranks onhis teammates, en-
joys math and dabbles with mag-
ic.
Off the court Im a very cool
guy, very laid back. I like to play
video games, Davis said. I like
playing pranks onpeople. Its fun,
livens up their spirits a little bit.
Man, if I couldplay a prank ev-
ery second, I would.
The Wildcats (36-2) play in-
staterival Louisville(30-9) Satur-
dayinthe Final Four for a berthin
the national title game. Davis will
play his usual pivotal role, saying
hes fine after banging his left
knee in the South Regional final
against Baylor.
Along the way to NewOrleans,
Davis has wonnearly every major
awardandwas namedtoAPs All-
America teamthis week. Its pret-
ty heady stuff for a kid who was
just 6-foot-2 in high school as a
sophomore and trying to figure
out a complicated path to the
NBA.
Then, an 8-inch growth spurt
turnedhiminto the nations most
in-demand high school prospect
after he just wanted to be able to
consistently dunk a basketball.
Suddenly, as a 6-10 forward
with guard skills, he attracted ev-
eryones attention and finished
his senior year averaging 32
points, 22 rebounds and seven
blocked shots per game.
When I got here his sopho-
more year, I knew he was Divi-
sion I-type player, said Cortez
Hale, Davis high school coach. I
didnt know he would be a Ken-
tucky-type player back then. But
he was determined.
Imvery happy for his success,
proving a lot of people wrong, do-
ing what hes supposed to do and
doing it the right way.

CLEARWATER, Fla. Cliff
Lee definitely looks ready for the
regular season.
Lee pitched six scoreless
innings to lead the Philadelphia
Phillies to a 5-4 exhibition victo-
ry against the Pittsburgh Pirates
on Tuesday.
Scott Podsednik ended the
game with a two-out solo homer
in the ninth inning.
Lee allowed three hits, struck
out three and walked one. The
left-hander also hit for the first
time this spring and doubled in
his final at-bat.
The 33-year-old Lee will make
one more spring start this Sun-
day before taking the ball in the
second game of the regular sea-
son on April 7 in Pittsburgh.
With Jeff Karstens throwing in
a minor league game back in
Bradenton, the Pirates went
with all relievers. Chris Resop,
designated as the starter, al-
lowed two runs and three hits in
two innings.
Red Sox 8, Rays 0
FORTMYERS, Fla. Josh
Beckett pitched one-hit ball for
five innings, leading Boston to

Mark Melancon combined to
pitch the final four innings,
allowing two hits and fanning
four.
Marlins 3, Nationals1
JUPITER, Fla. Heath Bell

another pitching concern for the
Reds.
The Reds No. 2 starter walked
off the mound after throwing a
pitch in the middle of the fifth
inning. The Reds said he is day
to day.
Astros14, Tigers 7
KISSIMMEE, Fla. Austin

six strong innings.
The game was delayed in the
ninth inning when a fan was hit
by a piece of a broken bat from
the Angels Mark Trumbo. Para-
medics were called, and the fan,
who was seated behind the An-
gels third-base dugout, was
taken for medical attention. She
was able to walk out of Scotts-
dale Stadium, moments before
Alexi Amaristas three-run dou-
ble off Javier Lopez broke a 2-2
tie.
Padres (ss) 6, Dodgers 5
PEORIA, Ariz. Juan Rivera

Dodgers reach deal
with Magic Johnson
group
NEW YORK Los Angeles
Dodgers owner Frank McCourt
has announced an agreement
Monday night to sell the
bankrupt team for $2 billion to
a group that includes former
Lakers star Magic Johnson and
former Atlanta Braves and
Washington Nationals
President Stan Kasten.
The agreement, revealed
about five hours after Major
League Baseball owners
approved three finalists for the
auction, is to lead to a transfer
of the team by the end of April.
It is subject to approval in
federal bankruptcy court.
Mark Walter, chief executive
officer of the financial services
firm Guggenheim Partners
would become the controlling
owner. The price would be
easily a record for a North
American sports franchise.
As part of the agreement,
the Dodgers said McCourt and
certain affiliates of the
purchasers would acquire the
land surrounding Dodger
Stadium for $150 million.
The Oakland Athletics will
be the home team, but the
Seattle Mariners and out-
fielder Ichiro Suzuki will be
the crowd favorites when
Major League Baseball opens
its 2012 season today with a
game that will start at about 8
a.m. EDT.
Seattle is the only MLB
team with a Japanese owner,
retired Nintendo chairman
Hiroshi Yamauchi, who has
had a majority stake in the
Mariners since 1992 yet has
never seen his team play in
person a streak that will be
extended this week.
Even though the games
against Oakland today and
Thursday will be played at the
Tokyo Dome, about a two-
hour drive from his home in
Kyoto, Yamauchi, 84, will
watch on television, the Mari-
ners announced. No reason
was given.
He just indicated to me
hes not going to be here,
Mariners Chief Executive
Howard Lincoln told report-
ers at a news conference
when the team arrived last
week. Quite frankly, a man of
his age and stature doesnt
have to explain why hes not
here.
The Mariners have one
other Japanese player, in-
fielder Munenori Kawasaki,
on their 25-man roster. Anoth-
er, pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma,
was among the 30 they
brought on a trip that also
included two exhibition
games against Japanese pro-
fessional teams.
In all, the Mariners and the
Athletics will spend about a
week in Japan, which will play
host to its fourth MLB opener,
after the New York Mets
versus Chicago Cubs in 2000,
the New York Yankees versus
Tampa Bay in 2004 and Bos-
ton versus Oakland in 2008.
The teams played before
near-sellout crowds of more
than 42,000 in each of their
doubleheader exhibitions last
weekend against the Hanshin
Tigers and Yomiuri Giants of
the Nippon Professional Base-
balls Central League.
The Mariners lost 5-1 to the
Tigers on Saturday and 9-3 to
the Giants on Sunday. The As
beat the Giants, 5-0, and lost
to the Tigers, 12-6.
Suzuki, the main attraction
for Japanese fans, was greeted
by the twinkling of thousands
of camera flashes as he ap-
proached the plate in each of
his eight at-bats. Around
town, he is omnipresent, his
likeness all over the street on
billboards and all over televi-
sion on commercials.
Suzuki had one hit, a single
in his first at-bat.
Its a special event, its
important to us, he said after
Game 1, referring to the Mari-
ners playing in Japan for the
first time. This is probably a
once-in-a-lifetime event for
myself.

Los Angeles Times
Conference.
Bruins 5, Lightning 2
BOSTON Benoit Pouliot
scored the tiebreaking goal
midway through the third peri-
od, Zdeno Chara had three
assists and the surging Boston
Bruins beat the Tampa Bay
Lightning.
The Bruins won their third
straight game despite two goals
by Steven Stamkos, who leads
the NHL with 55. Tampa Bays
three-game winning streak
ended.
Panthers 3, Canadiens 2
MONTREAL Wojtek
Wolski scored in regulation and
added the only goal of the
shootout to help the Florida
Panthers boost their playoff
hopes with a victory over the
Montreal Canadiens.
Mikael Samuelsson also
scored in regulation for Florida,
which outshot Montreal 36-29.
The Panthers ended a three-
game winless streak and com-
pleted a four-game sweep of the
season series with Montreal.
Rangers 3, Wild 2
ST. PAUL, Minn. Ruslan
Fedotenkos go-ahead goal in
the third period gave the New
York Rangers a victory over the
Minnesota Wild and some
more space in the tightened
Eastern Conference playoff
race.
Marian Gaborik also scored,
frustrating the fans of his for-
mer team, and Brian Boyle had
a goal for the Rangers, who
won for only the third time in
their last nine road games.
PITTSBURGH Frans
Nielsen scored twice and the
New York Islanders won in
Pittsburgh for the first time in
more than four years with a 5-2
victory over the Penguins on
Tuesday night.
Michael Grabner, David
Ullstrom and Kyle Okposo also
scored, and Josh Bailey had
three assists to help the Islan-
ders end Pittsburghs 10-game
home winning streak with ease.
Okposo, Ullstrom and Nielsen
scored within a 6-minute span
of the second period to break
things open.
James Neal scored twice for
the Penguins and Tyler Kenne-
dy added a goal, but Marc-
Andre Fleury gave up five goals
on 18 shots before being re-
placed in the third by Brad
Thiessen. Evgeni Malkin had
two assists to boost his point
total to 99, tops in the NHL.
Blackhawks 2, Devils 1
NEWARK, N.J. Travis
Zajac and Patrik Elias scored in
a shootout and Martin Brodeur
made 37 saves and stopped
four of five shooters to give the
New Jersey Devils a victory
over the Chicago Blackhawks.
Brodeur made a sprawling
stop on Andrew Shaw to end
the contest and snap a two-
game winless slide for New
Jersey, which now has a four-
point lead on Ottawa in the
race for sixth place in the East-

Isles win in
Pittsburgh
2010 to sell the franchise for
$14.6 million to a joint venture
between Mandalay Baseball
Properties LLC and Yankee
Global Enterprises LLC. The
deal is to include a 30-year
lease of the new stadium, but
that has not been finalized.
The construction cannot
begin until the team is officially
sold because the money is to be
used for the renovations. The
plans for the sale are still being
finalized.
According to Baseball Amer-
ica, the only comment Mobley
had on the sale was that the
sides are in negotiations of the
lease.
I can only go on what (the
Yankees) tell me, and what
they tell me is that they are
continuing daily discussion,
Mobley said. With this con-
struction start deadline rapidly
approaching, it is all going to
become pretty evident, pretty
quickly, what is or isnt going
to happen.
Mobley added that plans for
2013 have not been talked
about in case the ballpark is not
ready. We already have the
2012 plans in place . . . We are
going to discuss that situation
if it occurs at that time.

past two days.
Slowly but surely, Miley
said.
But theres nothingslowabout
the speedy Mesa.
And he could prove to be a big
key in Scranton/Wilkes-Barres
fortunes this season.
Mesa is a perfect blendof pow-
er and speed, with 80 stolen
bases and 61 home runs over his
six-year minor league career. He
also has 92 doubles and 26 tri-
ples.
But hes also struggled with
consistency.
The Dominican-born Mesa
carries a lifetime .231 minor
league battingaverage, although
his performance at the plate is
starting to pick up.
He came to minor league
camp after batting .250 (3-
for-12) withfour runs scoredand
two RBI in New York Yankees
camp.
And in his first season at Dou-
ble-ATrentonlast year, Mesafin-
ished with a .251 batting aver-
age, with nine homers, 24 dou-
bles, 58 runs scored and 46 RBI.
I just want to thank God for
every opportunity I have, Mesa
said.
He can thank himself for find-
ing a few different ways to take
advantage of those chances.

ford have also accomplished the
feat.
Unlike their previous four
trips to the regional finals,
which were quick blowouts, the
Huskies had to work hard to pull
away fromthe Wildcats.
UConn led 48-47 early in the
second half before turning up its
defense. The Huskies used a
21-4 spurt to take command.
Hayes, the lone senior on the
team, was the catalyst, scoring
seven points during the run. She
got it started with a lay-in. Then
the Huskies started a parade to
the free throwline, with whistle
after whistle. The Huskies con-
verted12 free throws during the
game-changing run.
Hayes was selected most
outstanding player of the re-
gional.
While the Huskies were scor-
ing points, their vaunted de-
fense was stymieing the Wild-
cats. Kentucky torched UConn
for 39 points, the most allowed
in a first half this season by the
Huskies.
The Wildcats found it much
tougher to score in the second
half. During UConns burst,
Kentucky could only get two
field goals over a span of 9 min-
utes.
Mosqueda-Lewis 3-pointer
with 7:26 left capped UConns
burst and made it 69-52.
Kentucky (28-7) could get no
closer than15 the rest of the
way.
Samarie Walker scored14 to
lead the Wildcats.
Its been a strange season for
UConn. Coming into the year,
coach Geno Auriemma didnt
think this teamcould make a
run at the Final Four or an
eighth national championship.
With the loss of Maya Moore to
graduation, the Huskies had a
lot of questions about them-
selves.
Notre Dame 80, Maryland 49
RALEIGH, N.C. Skylar
Diggins had a triple-double and
Notre Dame claimed its second
straight berth in the national
semifinals by beating Maryland
in the Raleigh Regional final.
Diggins did it all for the top-
seeded Fighting Irish (34-3).
The Big East player of the year
and AP All-America selection
finished with 22 points, 11as-
sists, 10 rebounds and five
steals.
Natalie Achonwa added18
points while Kayla McBride had
16 and Natalie Novosel finished
with14. Next up for the Irish:
Big East rival Connecticut on
Sunday in Denver. Alyssa Tho-
mas scored17 points and Tianna
Hawkins and Alicia DeVaughn
each had10. Second-seeded
Maryland (31-5) was denied its
first Final Four since the Terra-
pins won the 2006 national title.

BETHLEHEMJeff Slano-
vec drove in the game-winning
run in the top of the 10th inning
to lift 12th-ranked Misericordia
(19-2) to a 6-5 win at Moravian
on Tuesday. Slanovec finished
the game with two RBI on three
hits while Kenny Durling added
three hits.
Mike Pena picked up the win
with 1

3 innings of scoreless
relief and Corey Lee earned his
third save with a scoreless 10th.
After trailing early, Moravian
answered with a run in the
bottom of the fifth and rallied
to tie the score at 5 with three
runs in the bottom of the
eighth, setting the stage for
Slanovecs late-inning heroics.
Kings, 7, Penn College 5
Kings (7-9) was able to over-
come a 4-1 deficit after seven
innings with six runs over the
final two frames to down host
Penn College.
Trailing in the eighth, Tim
Marchetti and Cody Krupaboth
singled before Anthony Re
followed with a run-scoring
base hit to cut the lead to 4-2.
Rob Lemoncelli reached base
on an error to bring in a run
and Mike Santiago lofted a
sacrifice fly to right field to
plate Re with the tying run.
Eric Bohem then delivered an
RBI double to give the Mon-
archs a 5-4 lead they would
never relinquish.
Chris Sweeney led Kings by
going 2-for-4 with a double
while Bohem was 2-for-3 with
two RBI. Re was 1-for-4 with
one run and two RBI in the
contest.

PALM BEACH, Fla. NFL
owners ratified the agreement
between the league and players
unionthat takes away$36million
in salary cap space from the Red-
skins and $10 million from the
Cowboys.
Other than Dallas and Wash-
ington, no club voted Tuesday to
oppose the agreement, which
raised the salary cap for 2012
fromabout $113 million to $120.6
million. The Cowboys and Red-
skins have sought arbitration,
which will be conducted by Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania professor
Stephen Burbank.
Both teams were penalized for
overloading contracts in the 2010
uncapped season despite league
warnings not to do so. Each must
take at least half the reduction
this year.
The Cowboys will play in the
season opener on Sept. 5 at the
Super Bowl champion New York
Giants. That game will be on a
Wednesday night for the first
time; President Barack Obama is
scheduled to address the Demo-
cratic National Convention on
Sept. 6.
Who cares who we are play-
ing, hosting the game is all thats
important, Giants owner John
Mara joked, knowing well that
theNFLchampionhosts thekick-
off to the season. Its exciting.
Theyre one of our big rivals. We
had two great games last year.
The fans will be jacked up for it.
The owners also approved
competition committee recom-
mendations for points of empha-
sis in the upcoming season, in-
cluding blows to the head, horse-
collar tackles and taunting.
The competition committee
reviewed video of blows to the
head delivered by both offensive
and defensive linemen and
sought to re-emphasize that
striking, swinging, or clubbing
an opponent in the head or neck
area is illegal. Game officials will
be instructed to closely monitor
those acts, which draw a 15-yard
penalty for unnecessary rough-
ness and can bring fines.
Horse-collar tackles increased
enough that it alarmed the com-
mittee. Rich McKay, president of
the Atlanta Falcons and chair-
man of the committee, said ex-
amples of horse-collar tackles
will be part of a video shown to
players at training camp.
The owners will vote Wednes-
day on whether to make horse-
collar tackles of quarterbacks in
the pocket a penalty.
Although the committee did
not say that taunting of oppo-
nents increased, it is urgingpolic-
ing such acts be emphasized.
Other points of emphasis will
spotlight pre-snap movement;
players not lininguponthelineof
scrimmage; a runner declaring
himself down; and substitutions
that try to confuse the opponent.
The Cowboys last game also
was at the Meadowlands, where
the Giants beat them31-14 to win
the NFC East. That was the sec-
ond of six straight victories for
New York that culminated in
their Super Bowl win over New
England.
The telecast of that victory
over Dallas averaged 27.6 million
viewers, the most ever for a Sun-
day night game. It was the most-
watched regular-season prime-
time game in 15 years.
It will be the first time the Gi-
ants closed one season and
opened the next one in the same
venue against the same opponent
since 1994-95. Back then, it was
also the Cowboys, at Giants Sta-
dium.
Cap sanctions are approved for Cowboys, Redskins

AP Pro Football Writer
If he appeals, and he has until
Monday, Goodell said he would
probably allowhimto continue
working past the intended start
of his suspension. Goodell also
said he would expedite the ap-
peal process and his decision,
meaning Payton might only get a
fewmoredays of workbeforehav-
ing to step aside.
The NFLs investigation in
New Orleans found that Payton
initially lied to league investiga-
tors about the existence of a
bounty and instructed his defen-
sive assistants to do the same.
Payton twice apologized for his
role in an enterprise that offered
payouts for knocking out oppo-
nents, saying he takes full re-
sponsibility for a systemthat op-
erated for three years under his
watch.
As many as 27 players could al-
so be sanctioned for their role in
the scandal.
As the head coach, anything
that happens in the framework of
your team and your program,
youre responsible for, Payton
said. And thats a lesson Ive
learned. And its one that its easy
to get carried away, in regards to
a certain side of the ball or more
involved offensively or defensive-
ly. And thats something that I re-
gret.
Payton said he was confident
he will coach the Saints again in
2013, and that his biggest chal-
lenge was realizing that for the
first time in 39 years, he may not
have an active role in football as a
player or coach.
You go through a range of
emotions that kind of hit you,
Payton said. Youre disappoint-
ed. Youre disappointed in your-
self that it got to this point. I
think were trained as coaches to
begin preparation right away. I
find myself reflecting on it, and
you go through a lot of emo-
tions.
Asked if he might work in
broadcasting this season, Payton
said anyone in his position would
keep their options open. He said
he hasnt been in touch with
Gregg Williams, the former
Saints defensive coordinator
who ran the bounty system and
was suspended indefinitely.
Asked if bounties were what he
envisioned when he asked Wil-
liams to build a defense, he re-
plied, No, obviously not.
Much of the conversation re-
volved around Parcells, the two-
time Super Bowl winner who
hired Payton as an offensive as-
sistant in Dallas in 2003 and was
a finalist for the Hall of Fame this
season.
If Parcells returned to the side-
line, he may have to wait another
five years before becoming eligi-
ble for the Hall of Fame again.
Parcells, who turns 71 in August,
may not want to wait that long.
Asked by Sports Illustrated on
Monday if he had a desire to
coach another team, Parcells
said, I dont think so.
In addition to the penalties for
Payton and Loomis, the league
suspended assistant head coach
Joe Vitt for six games. Goodell al-
so fined the Saints $500,000 and
took away second-round draft
choices in 2012 and 2013.

When defensemen Simon
Despres and Brian Strait were
called up to Pittsburgh on Mon-
day, Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pen-
guins defenseman Phil Samuels-
son said it was good for everybo-
dy.
Another chance to play in the
NHL obviously made the move
good for Despres and Strait, and
just having another chance to
play made it good for Samuels-
son and fellow blueliner Cody
Wild, both of whom have played
sparingly in recent months.
After Tuesdays practice at
Coal Street, head coach John
Hynes said Samuelsson and Wild
would likely suit up if Despres
andStrait dont returnfromPitts-
burgh before this weekends
games.
Samuelsson last played for the
Penguins onMarch18andhas ap-
peared in only for games total in
February in March for Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton. Wild has ap-
peared in three games in March
and last played March 18.
Its been a little while since
Ive been in, Samuelsson said. I
had a good start to the season,
but pro hockey is more of a what-
have-you-done-for-me-lately
thing. I just want to get back in
and play.
Beinginandout of thelineupis
nothing newto Wild. He said hes
done it for the last fewseasons in
the AHL and hes certainly ready
if he gets the call this weekend.
The most important thing, he
said, is to continue to work hard
in practice so hes ready to play.
You never know when youre
going to go in. I had that role all
season and I dont change any-
thing, Wild said. At first its
tough, but Ive done it for a while
now and you get used to it. You
prepare the same way to be
ready.
Such an approach has paid off
for Wild this season, who some-
times didnt knowhe was playing
until shortly before the start of a
game.
I had games earlier this year
when I knew I wasnt playing. Id
skate in the morning and then all
of a suddensomebody gets called
up and three hours before the
game they tell me Im playing,
he said. You always have to be
ready.
Both players have played well
despite the uncertain ice time.
Wild is plus-6 in 45 games this
season the first time his plus-
minus rating is on the positive
side in his five-year AHL career.
Samuelsson has played in 42
games in his rookie season and
has eight points to go along with
a plus-3 rating.
This is my first year and I was
expecting a learning curve. With
everyone healthy this is a tough
D corps to crack, Samuelsson
said. But its not fun to sit on the
side. I just want to take any
chance I get and play well and
contribute to the team.
Notes
The status of injured defen-
seman Carl Sneep should be
known today, Hynes said. Sneep
hasnt played since March17 and
if he is healthy enough to return,
the Penguins would have seven
defensemen while Despres and
Strait are in Pittsburgh. If Sneep
isnt healed, Hynes said a call-up
from Wheeling is possible.
With Pittsburgh goaltender
Brent Johnson on the mend,
Hynes said its possible that Brad
Thiessen could return to Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton this week.

DIVISION I EAST
Coughlin
2011 WVC Record/Finish: 6-9,
fourth place; Lost in D2 first
round
State classification: 3A
Coach: Moe Rodzinak
Home field: Hilldale Park, North
Main Street, Plains Twp.
Outlook: Five seniors with start-
ing experience return for the Cru-
saders, who already have a pre-
season win over 4A Scranton un-
der their belts. Dom Gulius and
Joe Parsnik, both of whom have
led the teamin hitting in the past,
are back along with varsity vets
like Dylan Concini, Kyle Cunning-
ham and Jordan Sod. Coughlins
season may depend on how
quickly and effectively the pitch-
ing staff develops with the depar-
tures of long-time ace Anthony
Grillini and Bob Sorokas, the No. 2
starter a year ago. Senior Eric
Heffers and junior Josh Feather-
manbothmadespot starts in2011.
Crestwood
sixth place; Lost in D2 first round
Coach: Mark Modrovsky
Home field: Mountain Post Le-
gion, Church Road, Mountain Top
Outlook: A rocky regular season
didnt stop the Comets from put-
ting a scare into state finalist
Tunkhannock in last years dis-
trict playoffs. For Crestwood, 2011
was a rebuilding year in which
many lineup combinations and
pitchingoptions wereconsidered.
The Comets lose top hitters Zack
Berg and Matt Ritz from a year
ago but return players like Nick
Aigeldinger, Anthony Caladie,
JesseQuintiliani, DomSartini and
Elliot Snyder. Shane Casey is back
on the mound after starting a
team-high five WVC games and
then again for Crestwood in the
playoffs.
Hazleton Area
second place; Lost in D2-4 semi-
finals
Coach: Gino Cara
Home field: Rex Antinozzi Field,
East 22nd Street, Hazleton
Outlook: The Cougars return an
experienced lineup that will
challenge for a district crown.
Hitters like Matt Barletta give
the Cougars consistency while
two of the regular starters on
the mound Anthony Zaloga
and Erik Johnson are also back
for another run at states. Six
players who were typically in the
lineup last season are back for
Hazleton Area, leaving the Cou-
gars to replace veterans like
John Medvecky, Josh Bayzick
and George Nikonenko.
Holy Redeemer
third place; Lost in D2 champion-
ship
Coach: Chris Ritsick
Home field: Hollenback Park, N.
Washington Street, Wilkes-Barre
Outlook: Back-to-back trips to
the district final have the Royals
hoping the third time is the
charm. A third straight shot at
the crown will come without
veterans like Steve Ruch, Mark
Malloy and Ted Ritsick. But Re-
deemer still has firepower in the
form of senior Christian Cho-
man, an Iona recruit. His future
school has no qualms with him
pitching in high school, so Cho-
man figures to see more time on
the mound this season, joining
Pat Condo, the Royals No. 2
starter from a year ago.
Nanticoke
fifth place; Lost in D2 first round
Coach: Dean Myers
Home field: High school, Kosci-
uszko Street, Nanticoke / Ted
Hiller Park, Honey Pot
Outlook: Though the win total
only went up by one from 2010,
Nanticoke was a much improved
team last season. In Dean Myers
first campaign in charge, the
Trojans lost five games by just
one run, including a pair against
division champ Pittston Area
and another against 2A finalist
Holy Redeemer. With four of the
teams top five hitters back from
a year ago Bobby Briggs, Joe
Yudichak, Josh Decker and Jeff
Jezewski Nanticoke is hopeful
that experience starts turning
those narrow defeats into victo-
ries.
Pittston Area
first place; Lost in D2 quarterfi-
nals
Coach: Paul Zaffuto
Home field: Primary Center,
Rock Street, Hughestown
Outlook: Replacing a productive
senior class wont be easy for
the Patriots in their division title
defense, but they have another
young and talented group ready
to step up. A few of them, like
sophomore Josh Razvillas, have
already made an impact at the
varsity level. Razvillas is the
teams leading returning hitter
with the graduations of Josh
Savakinus, Jordan Bone, R.J.
Emmett and Ron Musto. Chuck
Bressler and Michael Schwab are
in line to start on the mound.
Standout athlete Jordan House-
man has joined the squad.
DIVISION I WEST
Berwick
fifth place; Lost in D2 first round
Coach: Brian Pinterich
Home field: North Berwick Field,
Heights Road, Berwick
Outlook: Now four years re-
moved from their state cham-
pionship, the Bulldogs are look-
ing to climb back up the stand-
ings. Pinterich said he sees some
similarities in the progress of
this years team, anchored by a
strong crop of juniors and the
group that improved in 2007
and eventually won the PIAA
Class 3A crown in 2008. Much of
last years lineup returns, led by
veteran T.J. Lashock and a deep
pitching staff. Scoring runs has
been an issue for the Bulldogs in
recent years, but experience
should pay off for the 2012 ros-
ter.
Dallas
third place; Lost in D2 quarterfi-
nals
Home field: Township Field,
Church Street, Dallas
Coach: Ken Kashatus
Outlook: Five everyday starters
from a strong defensive squad
are back for the Mountaineers
with seniors Paul Narcum, Deep
Patel and Bobby Saba joining
juniors Greg Petorak and Brian
Stepniak. Dallas will, however,
have to replace its top two hit-
ters from 2011 in Travis DeBona
and Marc Noyalis, a two-time
all-star. Stepniak, a 6-foot-5
right-hander, has seen time on
the mound for the past two
seasons and impressed as a
sophomore, splitting starting
duties with Noyalis.
Tunkhannock
first place; Won D2 champion-
ship, PIAA runner-up
Coach: Gary Custer
Home field: High school, West
Tioga Street, Tunkhannock
Outlook: The two-time defend-
ing district champs remain one
of the top teams in the area
despite losing the production of
Division I talents like Mike Hea-
ley and Mike Papi, as well as
valuable players like Kyle Custer
and Ty Saylor. The Tigers still
return a handful of starters from
that prolific team, including one
of the leagues best players in
Rich Condeelis, a difference-
maker at the plate and on the
mound. Wes Custer, Josh
McClain, Jeremy Lee and Alex
Zaner were all everyday players
last season.
Wyoming Area
fourth place; Lost in D2 quarter-
finals
Coach: Chick Andrewscavage
Home field: Atlas Field, Erie
Street, Exeter
Outlook: The Warriors have
come a long way in the past two
years, winning three district
playoff games and being com-
petitive in a tough division. To
keep things rolling in 2012,
Wyoming Area will break in a
handful of new starters while
replacing a productive senior
class that included players like
P.J. Bone and Kody Nowicki. The
good news is that senior Dylan
Maloney is back after finishing
2011 as one of the leagues top
pitchers, striking out 50 in WVC
play. Maloney is also the top
returning hitter on the team.
Wyoming Valley West
second place; Lost in D2-4 quar-
terfinals
Coach: John Milius
Home field: Spartan Stadium,
Gates Avenue, Kingston
Outlook: Valley Wests pitching
staff should have the Spartans
right back in contention in both
the division and the district. Old
Dominion recruit Tommy Alexan-
der and Matt Zielen are both
coming off impressive seasons
as starters, combining for nearly
100 strikeouts in WVC play. Joe
Pechulis and Zane Stelevich
have both been effective on the
mound as well. At the plate,
Pechulis and Alexander join
returning starters Stephen Do-
siak and Mike Leonard. Gone is
last seasons leading hitter, Chris
Clocker.
DIVISION II
GAR
eighth place; Lost in D2 first
round
Coach: Vito Pasone
Home field: Coal Street Park,
Coal Street, Wilkes-Barre
Outlook: Pasone takes over the
Grenadiers after a two-year
stretch that saw them slip to the
bottom of the division standings.
A long-time youth coach in the
area, Pasone said the teams
main goal is to rebuild the per-
ception of the program. Hell get
started with a promising crop of
sophomores that will fill in the
bulk of the lineup. Returning
upperclassmen include Christian
Skrepenak, Tyler Tyson and
Henry Rodriguez. One of the
schools top athletes, Mykel
Dempsey, has also joined the
roster.
Hanover Area
third place; Lost in D2 semifinals
Coach: Mike Zapotoski
Home field: High school, Sans
Souci Parkway, Hanover Twp.
Outlook: Despite the graduation
of five regulars from last sea-
sons semifinalist team, the
Hawkeyes figure to be right back
in contention in the division and
the district. A pair of juniors who
played prominent roles in 2011
Zach Kollar at the plate and
Mickey Ferrence on the mound
will again be counted on in 2012.
Kollar, sophomore Mike Sulcoski
and senior Steve Zuranski are
among the group looking to
replace players like Cory Dick-
son, Kurt Pericci and Mike View.
Pat Cook, who was strong as a
reliever last year, also returns.
Lake-Lehman
first place; Won D2 champion-
ship, Lost in PIAA first round
Coach: Mark LeValley
Home field: High school, Old
Route 115, Lehman
Outlook: The Black Knights
broke through in 2011 to capture
their first district crown under
Mark LeValley and qualified for
states. Much of the prolific group
that fueled that run Justin
Cornell, Josh Everett, Bryan
Mathers and Zack Yursha, to
name a few have departed,
leaving a handful of returning
starters for 2012. Seniors Cole
and Curt Barbacci join Tyler
McGovern and Troy Shurites as
captains with plenty of experi-
ence at the plate. McGovern will
take over as the teams No. 1
starter after winning the district
title game a season ago. Leh-
man will once again compete for
a division and district title.
Meyers
second place; Lost in D2 quar-
terfinals
Coach: Matt Skrepenak
Home field: Gibby Field, Gordon
Avenue, Wilkes-Barre
Outlook: A few big names have
graduated all-star caliber play-
ers like John Nargoski and Vic-
tor Garcia but the bulk of last
seasons successful roster is
back in 2012 for another run at a
division crown and a shot at a
second district title in three
years. Chris DeMarco, Corey
Dubil, Dakota Owen, Robert
Reilly, C.J. Szafran and John
Zionce were all regulars in the
lineup a year ago. Dubil emerged
as a top pitcher as a junior and
is back along with Tony Morrash
as seniors with plenty of innings
logged.
MMI Prep
fifth place; Lost in D2 semifinals
State classification: A
Coach: Emmett Thomas
Home field: Cedar Street/Lu-
zerne Street, Freeland
Outlook: Plenty of progress for a
still-growing program came in
2011, as the Preppers topped
their previous wins mark and
won in the district playoffs be-
fore falling in the semifinals. This
season starts with a new field as
the team moves away from the
Drifton complex up to a complex
closer to the high school in
Freeland. A group of foundation-
laying players like Dan Yencha
and Fran Swankoski have gradu-
ated. Returning contributors
include Aaron Kollar and Charlie
Karchner.
Northwest
fourth place; Lost in D2 quarter-
finals
Coach: Lou DiPasquale
Home field: High school, Thorne
Hill Road, Shickshinny
Outlook: Returning much of the
roster from 2011, the Rangers are
looking to make a surge to join
the three programs Hanover
Area, Lake-Lehman and Meyers
that have topped the division
in recent years. Northwest went
0-6 against those squads a year
ago and the next step is to chal-
lenge in those contests. Leading
that effort will be players like
Skyler DiPasquale, Matt Korea,
Devon Mazonkey and Kyle Stem-
pien. Gone is Ryan Kondrosky, a
mainstay in the lineup for a full
four years.
Wyoming Seminary
sixth place; Lost in D2 quarterfi-
nals
State classification: A
Coach: Brian Kaschak
Home field: Nesbitt Field, Pierce
Street/Rutter Avenue, Kingston
Outlook: The heart of the order
returns for the Blue Knights, as
Bobby Polachek and Craig Sku-
dalski are back. Polachek led
Seminary in batting average and
RBI in 2011, and was one of the
top hitters in Division II. Po-
lachek and Skudalski also led the
pitching staff, starting 11 of 14
WVC games in the regular sea-
son. Senior Matt Seyer, a regular
in last years lineup, also returns.
Departing contributors include
Max Wiles, Spencer Youngman
and Roman Rubando.
W V C B A S E B A L L P R E V I E W
to be way down. Its more like
baseball, Tunkhannock coach
Gary Custer said.
The Tigers and Royals finished
first and second in the league in
home runs, respectively, in 2011.
If early impressions are any in-
dicator, the most successful
teams will be the ones that im-
prove on the basepaths, stay con-
sistent on bunts and hit and runs
and be able to defend those
plays.
While coaches may change
things up strategically right from
the start of league play, it still fig-
ures to take some time for play-
ers to adjust. Pitches that looked
to be out of the park immediately
on contact often wont carry as
far.
One can even detect a different
soundas higher-pitchedpings be-
come duller-sounding thuds.
When you get it on the sweet
spot, it still goes, Nanticoke
coach Dean Myers said. But
there are times still when it first
leaves the bat and you think, Oh,
boy, and then it just dies.
I think its a positive. Safety-
wise its definitely a positive. Be-
fore, sometimes the way those
kids would swing those bats,
youd be afraid to pitch B.P. The
whole safety aspect of it is really
good. It gives you a little bit more
reaction time as a fielder.
One thing that could help the
adjustment period is the recently
favorable weather. With teams
being able to get outside and into
game conditions instead of being
forced to work out indoors, play-
ers are getting a better feel for
things.
Pitchers always have the ad-
vantage early, especially now
with the BBCOR bats, Dallas
coach Ken Kashatus said. But I
think with batters getting to face
more live situations this year,
maybe it will be more even now.
Im just surmising that, but itll
be interesting to see how even it
is.
The term even has been
thrown around plenty in respect
to the competition level in the
WVC this season.
In Division I, Tunkhannock
maintains a high profile as the
two-time defending District 2
Class 3A champions who reac-
hed the state finals in 2011.
But the rest of the West will be
looking to dethrone the Tigers.
Wyoming Valley West, Dallas
and Wyoming Area have all been
competitive and Berwick looks
poised for a jump forward.
In the East, Pittston Area and
Hazleton Area traded division ti-
tles in the past two seasons and
Coughlin returns a group of ex-
perienced players.
Despite being the only 2A
teamin Division I, Holy Redeem-
er has shown it can hang with the
bigger schools just fine. Both
Crestwood and Nanticoke are
looking for bounce-back seasons.
The Division II schedule
shrinks from 14 games to just 12
this season with West Side Tech
not fielding a team.
The trio of Hanover Area,
Lake-Lehman and Meyers are
again expected to battle for the
division crown.
Its a great league to play in,
Berwick coach Brian Pinterich
said. Every year now, you see a
lot of big-time colleges coming
around. The words out now
about the Wyoming Valley Con-
ference. Its fantastic baseball.
SEASON
well. Who knows? But I think
were making progress, regardless
of this result.
Still, at a time this summer
when the soccer focus in the U.S.
could have been on the up-and-
coming American players, it will
now be on preseason tours of En-
glish teams Chelsea and Totten-
ham and the new managers likely
to be in place at both clubs.
Obviously last night is a huge
disappointment on many levels
and for everyone involved, U.S.
Soccer FederationPresident Sunil
Gulati said. Weve been very suc-
cessful over the last 36 years inbe-
ing at most of the Olympic games
on the mens side, so its a big set-
back.
Gulati, a Columbia economics
professor, has been a driving force
in U.S. soccer growth for more
thana quarter century. The Amer-
icans had not qualified for the
WorldCupfor40yearsbeforemak-
ing it to the1990 tournament, and
theyve nowbeento the last six
an accomplishment matched only
byArgentina, Brazil, Germany, Ita-
ly, Spain and South Korea.
Gulati became USSF president
in 2006 and replaced Arena after
the Americans crashed out of the
World Cup in the group stage
embittering the Los Angeles Gal-
axy coach.
In mens soccer, the Olympics
are limited to players under 23
withthree overage players eligible
for inclusion at the Summer
Games. But clubs that pay the
players wages are often reluctant
to release their best players, espe-
ciallythoseinEuropeanleaguesat
key points in their seasons.
Still, even with Jozy Altidore,
Timmy Chandler and Danny Wil-
liamsunavailable, theU.S. filledits
roster withprofessionals fromMa-
jor League Soccer and players
from European and Mexico clubs
it was able to secure. The Ameri-
cans figuredtheywouldhave a rel-
atively easy time claiming one of
the two Olympic berths from
North and Central America and
the Caribbean.
But after an opening 6-0 rout of
Cuba last week, they were upset
2-0 by Canada and forced them-
selves into a must-win game
against El Salvador, a country
whose population of about 6 mil-
lion is smaller than New York
Citys.
After falling behind 2-1, the U.S.
forged a lead and were seconds
fromadvancingtothe semis when
a25-yardshot byJaimeAlastooka
hop and bounced in off the hands
of backup American goalkeeper
Sean Johnson, who entered after
starter Bill Hamidturnedanankle
on the turf during the first half.
Having the Olympic experi-
ence would certainly be beneficial
to these players. In a different way
to look at it, this tournament
helped weed out some of the
quote-unquote talent that maybe
isnt what we thought, saidLalas,
now an ESPN analyst. And for
those players who do graduate to
thenational team, thosefewselect
players, it gives them a harsh but
maybe vital lesson in terms of not
onlyrecognizingmomentsandop-
portunitiesbut not wastingthem.
Caleb Porter, who coached Ak-
ron to the 2010 NCAA title, was
hired last October to run the un-
der-23 teamas part of an overhaul
that followed Gulati installing for-
mer German star Jurgen Klins-
mannas U.S. national teamcoach.
FormerstarmidfielderTabRamos
was picked to coach the u20s, and
the u17 coach also was replaced.

Versa acquiring United Retail
According to Business Wire, the
United Retail Group Inc., owner of the
Avenue brand of womens fashion appa-
rel, announced on Tuesday that it is
seeking court approval for the acquisi-
tion of its operating business by an
affiliate of Versa Capital Management.
Pending by the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New
York, Versa will acquire a majority of
the companys assets and assume cer-
tain liabilities. A hearing to consider
approval of the sale is scheduled for
April 3. The transaction is expected to
close in April.
Versa Capital Management Inc. is a
private equity investment firm with
$1.2 billion of assets in a variety of
industries across the United States.
Earlier this month Versa bought Im-
pressions Media, which operates The
Times Leader and other local publi-
cations. Versa also owns Ohio Commu-
nity Media, which includes newspapers
and websites serving communities in
northern and western Ohio.
Inquirer bidder withdraws
Business magnate Raymond Perel-
man told The Associated Press on
Tuesday that he left the group of local
powerbrokers and philanthropists look-
ing to buy Philadelphias two main
newspapers because he wanted to be a
majority owner.
Its one of the latest developments in
the ownership saga of The Philadelphia
Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News and
the website philly.com.
According to a letter of intent ob-
tained by the Daily News, the potential
buyers want to pay about $60 million
for the outlets now owned by Philadel-
phia Media Network.
The letter indicates the sale would
include laying off 35 more employees
and an undisclosed number of senior
managers. Philadelphia Media Network
already is cutting 45 jobs this month. A
spokesman declined comment.
Amazon gets tax relief
Amazon.com Inc. announced plans
Tuesday for a $150 million warehouse
and distribution center in southern
Indiana after state officials gave the
online retailer two more years before it
has to start collecting sales taxes from
customers.
Work on what will be Amazons fifth
large facility in Indiana started just
weeks after Republican Gov. Mitch
Daniels announced in January an
agreement under which Amazon would
begin collecting the states 7 percent
sales tax from customers in the state in
2014.

WASHINGTON Despite
warnings that less government
oversight might mean more in-
vestment scams, Congress on
Tuesday sent President Barack
Obama legislation he en-
dorsed making it easier for
startups to raise capital with-
out running afoul of federal
regulations.
The legislation, backed by
Silicon Valley and the high-
tech industry, is on course to
be one of the fewachievements
this year for a Congress mired
in partisan divisions and
primed for the fall elections.
The strong 380-41 vote in
the House overshadowed mis-
givings among some Demo-
crats and Democratic allies
including unions and consum-
er groups that the bill back-
pedals on investment protec-
tions put in place after the dot-
.com excesses and Wall Street
meltdown and could lead to
fraud and abuse.
The Senate passed the bill
last week on a 73-26 vote after
attaching an amendment that
tightened rules for seeking out
investors on the Internet. All
no votes in the House and
Senate came from the Demo-
cratic side.
The legislation combines a
half-dozen smaller, bipartisan
bills that exempt young com-
panies from Securities and Ex-
change Commission reporting
rules in order to reduce the
costs and red tape of raising
capital.
The centerpiece provision
would phase in SEC regula-
tions over a five-year period to
allow smaller companies to go
public sooner. Firms that have
annual gross revenues of less
than$1billionwouldenjoy this
emerging growth company
status.
Another provisionfacilitates
the practice of crowdfunding
inwhichthe Internet is usedto
solicit a large number of small-
er investors.
House Republicans hailed
thelegislationas ajobs bill that
by spurring capital formation
would lead to small businesses
hiring more people. Demo-
crats said its effect on job mar-
kets would be modest at best.
Senate Democrats were un-
able to rewrite the bill to add
across-the-board investor pro-
tections, but succeeded in at-
taching one amendment that
requires websites involved in
crowdfunding to register with
the SEC and demands that
companies seeking to raise
money this way provide infor-
mation on its financial status,
business plans and sharehol-
der risks.
Startup investment bill headed to Obama

PHILADELPHIA An AWOL soldiers sim-
ple scheme to defraud one of the richest men in
the world has landed himin federal custody, ac-
cording to a criminal complaint.
Inthecomplaint unsealedMonday, federal in-
vestigators allege Brandon Lee Price changed
theaddressonabankaccount heldbybillionaire
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, thenhadadeb-
it card sent to his Pittsburgh home so he could
use it for payments on a delinquent Armed
Forces Bank account and personal expenses.
Price called Citibank in Ja-
nuary and changed the ad-
dressonanaccount heldbyAl-
lenfromSeattle to Pittsburgh,
thencalledbackthreedayslat-
er to say he had lost his debit
card and asked for a new one
tobesent tohim, anFBI inves-
tigator wrote in a criminal
complaint filed in February.
The card was used to attempt a $15,000 West-
ern Union transaction and make a $658.81 pay-
ment on the Armed Forces Bank loan account
the day it was activated, according to the com-
plaint. Surveillance footage also captured him
attempting purchases at a video game store and
a dollar store, authorities alleged.
Investigators foundPricewas listedas Absent
Without Leave from the Army and wanted as a
deserter, authorities said in the complaint. He
was arrested March 2 and ordered detained un-
til April 2 unless the Army takes himinto custo-
dy.
David Postman, a spokesman for Allen, said
the fraud was detected by the bank, which alert-
ed law enforcement officials. The only transac-
tion out of four listed in the complaint total-
ing $15,936.99 that apparently made it
through was the loan payment, Postman said.
It certainly is a surprise andreasonfor every-
one to make sure that all that stuff is properly
cared for and monitored, Postman said.

EWYORK-- Toys R Us, the
retailer that has been trying
to sell shares to the public
for almost two years, is changing
tack to address $1.3 billion of ma-
turing debt without the equity of-
fering.
Theworlds largest toyseller, pur-
chased in 2005 by private-equity
firms KKR & Co. and Bain Capital
along with Vornado Realty Trust
for $6.6 billion, is seeking to add
$300 million to a term loan due in
2018 that would help pay off bonds
maturing next year. The Wayne,
N.J.-basedretailer has $1.3billionof
debt coming due within 12 months
and $5.2 billion in all, according to
the company.
While an IPOwould significant-
ly help refinancing, KimNoland, a
credit analyst with debt research
firmGimme Credit in NewYork re-
ported Monday, the company cant
place one in time for the borrow-
ings coming due.
They dont throw off enough
free cash flow to reduce debt using
cashflowsothey have torely onthe
capital markets, Noland said. Toys
R Us reported sales of $13.9 bil-
lion in 2011, essentially unchanged
from the previous year.
While Toys R Us said in a
March21regulatoryfilingit has suf-
ficient funds to support capital ex-
penditures and cash flow require-
ments over the next 12 months,
any worldwide financial market
disruption could have a negative
impact on our ability to refinance
our maturing debt and available re-
sources in the future.
Moodys revised its outlook on
Toys R Us last week to negative
from stable and assigned a B1
grade to the proposed incremental
termdebt, the same level as its cor-
porate family rating. Standard &
Poors rated the credit B-plus and
lowered ratings on the companys
existing first-lien portions to B-plus
from BB-minus, citing increased
levels of the debt.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible along a cold front from
southern New Jersey to the central Plains. Much of the Northeast will experience cloudy and wet
weather, with a chance of some snow over northern New England. A few showers will linger over the
northern Great Lakes as well. Showers will fall from central California through the Northwest.

Salmon is a popular fish that has
been ranked third for nearly a decade
in terms of consumption behind
front-runner shrimp and canned tuna
by the National Fisheries Institute,
a trade group.
Salmon is a good-for-you food, get-
ting prominent play on ChooseMyPla-
te.gov, the healthy eating website spon-
sored by the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture, because it is rich in heart-
healthy omega 3 fatty acids. Available
fresh, frozen, smoked, cured, dried and
canned, salmon lends itself to all sorts
of preparations.
Here are three strategies for Lent or
year-round:
SALMON WITH BEURRE BLANC
Salmon: Poach, steam or microwave 4
pieces of salmon until just cooked through.
Sauce: Meanwhile, prepare this sauce
from Seafood (DK, $35): Cut 1 stick
butter into small chunks. Melt 2 tables-
poons in a small saucepan; add 1 finely
chopped shallot. Cook until soft, about 2
or 3 minutes. Add: 5 tablespoons fish
stock, water or clam juice, and 1 tablespoon
white wine vinegar. Heat to a boil, then
simmer until reduced to about 3 tables-
poons. Reduce heat to very low; add the
remaining butter a few pieces at a time,
whisking vigorously between each addi-
tion. Keep the sauce hot but not boiling.
Sauce should be very creamy once all the

Deep into Lent, many Chris-
tians may have discovered that
meatless Fridays can get bor-
ing. Coming up with different
takes on fish isnt easy.
For something different, try
fish tacos. Theyre easy and fun
for kids, too.
Fish tacos are simply floured,
battered and pan-fried pieces of
fish nestled in a warm tortilla.
Theyre seasoned with a little
kick of spicy cayenne pepper
and chili powder. The batter is
thin and doesnt puff up when
fried. (If thats what you prefer,
mix the batter with club soda or
beer.)
You can fry these in a skillet
instead of deep-frying. Pan-
frying eliminates the need for
heating up a mess of oil and
having that deep-fried smell
hanging around.
Once pan-fried, keep them
warm in the oven where they
will stay crisp. They also can
be made in advance and re-
crisped in the oven.
This recipe uses smallish flour
tortillas, but you can use corn
tortillas if you like. With either
one, a good way to heat themis
to microwave them. Place sever-
al on a microwave-safe dish,
cover with paper towel and wrap
with plastic wrap. Microwave 1
minutes. Remove fromthe
microwave and let sit a minute
before removing plastic allowing
steamto sescape away fromyou.
FISHTACOS WITHCILANTRO
TARTAR SAUCE
Makes: 12 tacos / Preparation
time: 15 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Use any firm fish for this recipe.
Mahi-mahi and tilapia work well.
CILANTRO TARTAR
1 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons capers, plus a
little caper juice
1 small jalapeno pepper, minced
(with seeds, if desired)
FISH
1
1
4 to 1
1
2 pounds cod fillets
1 cup Drakes Crispy Frymix (or
favorite fish-fry mix)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1
4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1
2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup oil for frying
12 6-inch flour tortillas
FOR SERVING
2 cups finely shredded cabbage
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1 avocado, halved, pitted, diced
To make the tartar: In a small
bowl, combine all the tartar in-
gredients. Set aside. You can
make this one day in advance.
To make the fish: Rinse and pat
dry the cod fillets. Cut fillets into
2- by 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
Mix fry mix with
1
2 to
3
4 cup
water. The batter should be very
thin. On a shallow dish or pie
plate, mix flour, cayenne pepper,
chili powder, salt, black pepper.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
When ready to fry, in a large
nonstick skillet, heat the oil over
medium-high heat. The oil should
cover the bottom and come up at
least
1
4 inch in the skillet.
Working in batches, dredge
several pieces of fish in flour mix-
ture and then dip in batter, allowing
excess batter to drip off.
Place in the hot oil and fry on all
sides until browned, about 5 to 6
minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet
and place in the oven to keep the
fish hot. Repeat with remaining
fish.
Microwave the flour tortillas to
warm.
To assemble, place some cab-
bage on each tortilla. Top with 2
to 3 pieces of fish and a dollop of
tartar. Garnish with green onions
and diced avocado.

I
f youre looking for another al-
ternative to fish for meatless en-
trees during Lent or for that mat-
ter, year round how about build-
ing some meals around beans?
Crescent Dragonwagon has been evange-
lizing about bean cuisine for 40 years, since
The Bean Book, published in 1972, when
she was 18. Her new book, Bean by Bean: A
Cookbook (Workman, $15.95 paperback)
illustrates how the perception of beans has
changed and how the readily available varie-
ties have exploded.
It went from a food of low social standing
to being as it should be: a darling of people
who love food, she said from her home in
Vermont.
Although shes The Passionate Vegetar-
ian (the title of another of her books, one
that won her the James Beard Award), Drag-
onwagon isnt a dogmatic vegetarian. Using
her recipes, many carnivores wont miss the
meat, even when a dish contains none. Such
is the case with CDs Chili Mole, a bean-
based chili loaded with complexity and star-
ring peanut butter and sesame.
As for her name, the former Ellen Zolotow
says it began as an idealistic hippie-era pro-
test against the Establishment. In the long
run, however, she found it a great name
for a childrens-book writer (yet another
branch of her career).
CDS CHILI MOLE
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
1 pound dried black beans, rinsed/soaked
10 to 12 cups veg. stock or broth (note)
2 bay leaves
1 ancho (dried poblano) chile, stemmed
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, stemmed
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup dark raisins
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
1 green pepper, stemmed/chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed/chopped
1 poblano pepper, stemmed/chopped
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoons coriander seeds (note)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground red (cayenne) pepper
1/4 teaspoon anise seed
Crescent Dragonwagon offered these tips for
buying, cooking and enjoying beans:
Try to buy dried beans at a store that has
good turnover.
The older they get, the more difficulty there is
in getting them creamy and tender, she said. If
theyre too old, they never do get right and end
up just breaking into shards.
How do you determine how long the beans have
been in the store?
If its bulk, go ahead and ask when they poured
the current round into the bin, Dragonwagon
said. At the supermarket its a little more diffi-
cult because beans dont have to be marked as
to what year the crop is but stay away from
any packaging that looks deteriorating or
dusty.
There are many ways to minimize beans
famous magical side effects. You know, their
notorious toot.
If you dont treat them right, theyll maintain
too many oligosaccharides, which are indigesti-
ble sugars, Dragonwagon said. I used to say to
cook them in the water you soak them in, but
thats not a good practice. The more water you
soak them in and the more you change the
water the fewer oligosaccharides, because
theyre soluble.
She noted that cooking beans with sugar in-
tensifies the problem. Smaller beans and leg-
umes, such as lentils, have few oligosaccharides.
In addition to over-the-counter solutions such
as Beano, there are traditional folk remedies
such as cooking with cumin, ginger, cilantro,
summer savory or an herb called epazote, which
is often found in Mexican markets.
Finally, your body can adjust. Eat a lot of beans
infrequently and youre almost certain to have
problems. Eat them in small quantities on a
regular basis, with occasional large portions,
and your digestive tract is likely to adapt.

1 tablespoon tahini or 2 tables-
poons freshly toasted sesame
seeds
1 chipotle chile in adobo, stemmed
2 teaspoons adobo sauce
Salt
1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon agave
syrup or honey, optional
1. Cook the beans. Drain soaked
beans and rinse well. Place in a
large, heavy pot; add enough stock
to cover by 1 1/2 inches. Add bay
leaves, ancho chile, whole
stemmed jalapeno and a generous
grinding of black pepper.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce to
a simmer and cook, covered, for 1
hour. Add the raisins. Continue
cooking until the beans are nearly
tender and the raisins have more
or less disintegrated, 30 to 60
minutes longer.
3. About 20 minutes or so before
the beans are done, spray a large,
heavy skillet with nonstick cooking
spray. Place it over mediumheat,
add olive oil and, when its hot,
onions. Saute onions 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Stir in bell pepper, chopped
jalapeno and poblano; saute for 2
minutes. Add the cumin seeds,
coriander seeds, ground cumin,
ground coriander, oregano,
cayenne, anise seed, cinnamon,
paprika, chili powder and a tiny
pinch of cloves. Reduce the heat
slightly and cook, stirring constant-
ly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and
cook, stirring, until it just becomes
fragrant, about 30 seconds. Re-
move from the heat.
5. Scrape the sauted ingredients
into the simmering beans. Deglaze
the saute pot with a little bean
stock, stirring to loosen any
browned bits. Return this liquid to
the beans.
6. Add the tomatoes and their
juice and the tomato paste to the
bean pot and stir well. Simmer for
another 10 minutes, then maintain
at a simmer.
7. Place chocolate, peanut butter,
tahini, chipotle and adobo sauce in
a food processor or blender. Add a
generous ladleful of the simmering
beans and process to make a paste.
8. Scrape the paste into the
bean pot, reduce heat to very low
and salt generously. Simmer slowly,
partially covered, about 20 min-
utes longer.
9. Pick out the bay leaves. Mash
a couple of ladlefuls of the beans
against the sides of the pot to
thicken the chili. Taste for season-
ings and adjust if necessary, adding
agave syrup or honey for sweet-
ness. Serve immediately or let
come to room temperature, then
refrigerate, covered, overnight and
reheat very gently the next day.

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

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Im a
married woman with
four kids. I fell in
love with a longtime
friend, Hugh, two
years ago. Hes single
and has never been
married.
I told him I want a relationship,
but he says that since Im married we
cant have one. I told him I love him,
but hes not sure he feels as strong
about it as I do. We have been spend-
ing a lot of time together and have
started to get intimate.
I told Hugh I dont want to just fool
around I want a commitment.
He worries about my kids, and that
if I leave their father they wont
understand.
My husband is cold and distant.
We dont say much to each other any-
more; were just two adults living in
the same house raising our kids. We
have gone to counseling, but it didnt
help. My husband says things are fine.
Im angry because Hugh is willing
to fool around but not commit. He
says this shouldnt go on anymore
and his heart isnt in it. The fact that
Im married bothers him. I told him
eventually my husband and I will di-
vorce. Im hurt by his decision to back
out. I feel he wanted the intimacy
but doesnt want ME, and I feel used.
How do I sort this out?
Used in Massachusetts
Dear Used: You werent used
you threw yourself at Hugh, and what
has happened was by mutual consent.
Why would you expect a commitment
from him when you havent shown
yourself capable of sticking with one?
I credit Hugh for his honesty he
hasnt led you on. That youre mar-
ried SHOULD bother him.
When a man tells you his heart
isnt in it, trust me, the rest of him
isnt far behind. Dont waste your
time being hurt. Learn from this.
Your marriage is a mess. If it doesnt
survive, you owe it to the next man
in your life to be available before you
start prospecting. If youre not, this
will happen to you again and again.
Dear Abby: A few days ago, my sig-
nificant other, his 18-year-old daugh-
ter, Maria, and I were in our living
room discussing Jonah, a slightly
older guy she has been dating and
who spends a lot of time here. I told
her I think she can do a lot better
than him.
I didnt realize that Jonah was in
the next room when I spoke my mind
or that he had heard me. My boy-
friend told me later that Jonah said,
Now I know how she really feels
about me!
Abby, hes a nice kid, and hes al-
ways welcome here. I feel terrible
about hurting his feelings, even
though my opinion about him not
being good enough for Maria hasnt
changed. Still, I know the effect crass
words can have on a young person,
and I should have thought twice be-
fore opening my mouth.
Should I apologize to him for what
I said? If so, what should I say?
Hoof in Mouth in California
Dear Hoof In Mouth: What hap-
pened was regrettable. By all means
apologize to Marias boyfriend for
hurting his feelings. Tell him that you
didnt mean to be cruel, but that you
would feel better about the relation-
ship if he had higher goals. It might
be the push he needs to raise his am-
bitions and become more successful
in life when hes older.

Lover who wont commit to married woman has every reason not to
To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-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 Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youll
be brilliant at calming yourself
down so that you can take on
potentially stressful challenges.
Youll take controlled action
instead of reacting from a place
of fear and anxiety.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Grudges dont harm anyone
except the person who holds
them. Youll let a grievance go
for this reason. There are too
many far more pleasant things
on which to focus.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just as
furry animals get fluffier when
theyre apprehensive, some-
thing may happen to make your
fur stand on end momentarily.
Another person will find it reas-
suring to know that you care.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
know what youre good at. Youll
apply yourself in your area of
expertise and easily accomplish
what others cannot do but by
the uttermost exertion of their
abilities.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What hap-
pens today is not a solid indi-
cator of all that will happen.
There will come a day when the
forces that once seemed to keep
you out of a certain club will
instead be inviting you in.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youll be
in just the kind of mood to throw
yourself into situations, mix
things up and see what happens.
If you make a mistake, youll
soon recover.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Exciting
projects are incredibly labor
intensive. By the end of the day,
you may feel that the better part
of your energy has been poured
into one endeavor.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). By late
morning, youll feel ready to take
on the world. Youre likely to get
caught in the middle of a con-
flict. Responding well to the situ-
ation at hand takes energy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You have a serious responsibility
to yourself. If youre not car-
ing for yourself as though you
were one of the most important
people in the whole world, youre
ducking that responsibility.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If
your resources were cards, you
would play them as though youd
been dealt the best hand in the
history of the game. From that
perspective, youll see options.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Youll be wondering whom you
can trust. Dont waste time with
those who inspire doubt in you.
Put the people who always take
your call or who call you back on
the top of your list.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
feel that you could be more
effective if you maximized a cer-
tain relationship or grew it into
something strong. Improved and
more frequent communication
will begin the process.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (March 28).
You will diversify this year, let-
ting go of the known route in
favor of adventure. A fresh
assignment brings success in a
short amount of time. In June,
youll enjoy improved behavior
from those who are accountable
to you in some way. A coach
or loving partner spurs you
to personal heights in August.
Capricorn and Libra people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 8, 40, 2, 12 and 30.
