America readies offensive
ahead of troop withdrawals
NATION/WORLD, 5A
Last U.S. run
in Afghanistan
The early fundraising momentumWilkes-Barre
attorney Bill Vinsko had has waned considerably
in the first three months of this year. But its still
plenty more than his challenger for the Democrat-
ic nomination in the 11th Congressional District
was able to pull in.
Vinsko entered 2012 with $52,786 in the bank,
thanks to $105,546 in contributions received in
the final six months of 2011. But donations have
slowed since the calendar flipped
over to a new year.
Between Jan. 1 and April 4, Vin-
skos campaigncommittee reported
raising $28,178. In that same time,
the committee reported spending
$49,702, leaving a balance of
$31,262 in the bank.
Vinsko, 37, will face suburbanHarrisburg politi-
cal watchdog Gene Stilp in next Tuesdays pri-
mary with the victor earning a match against
freshmen incumbent Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazle-
ton, in the November general election.
Stilp, 61, reported raising $17,924 for the quar-
ter. The campaign spent $10,793 and listed cash
on hAand of $7,131 as of April 4.
The committee for Barletta, who saw the 11th
District fortified with potential Republican voters
when the boundaries were redrawn in December,
reported raising $124,708 for the quarter and
$760,739 for the election cycle which began in
2011. His committee spent $155,259 this year and
reported cash on hand of $239,197.

WILKES-BARRE Bill Vinsko said he now
lives outside of the boundaries of the 11th Con-
gressional District because the Republican Na-
tional Committee saw me coming.
Vinsko, 37, of South Wilkes-Barre, an-
nounced his candidacy for the congressional
seat before district lines were redrawn, when
Wilkes-Barre was part of the 11th.
When the GOP-driven redistricting moved
the lines, Vinsko was not deterred he re-
mainedinthe11thDistrict race eventhoughhis
address is a few hundred feet from the border
between the 11th and 17th districts.
Vinsko said the Democratic Party had target-
ed U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta for defeat because he

ocratic district.

LAINS TWP. The gate to Luzerne County-owned Seven Tubs Na-
ture Area has been locked, prompting many visitors to park their
vehicles on the shoulder of busy state Route 115.
County officials say they are wrestling with staffing shortages but
plan to open the gate by Memorial Day, which is the parks traditional
season start.
The county tried keeping the gate open
all the time last year but had problems with
illegal dumping and complaints of under-
age drinking, said county Security Chief
John Robshaw and Chief Engineer Joe Gib-
bons.
Security staffers were assigned to open
and close the gate mid-season in 2011 until
Labor Day, they said.
Robshaw and Gibbons discussed the mat-
ter Monday and believe maintenance and
security workers will share gate duties. A
similar scheduling arrangement has been
implemented by both departments to re-
store daily operating hours at county-own-
ed Moon Lake Park in Plymouth Township.
The maintenance and security depart-
ments lost several employees due to recent
budgetary layoffs, and the county has no
staff dedicated solely to the Tubs.
Gibbons said the gate-closing workers
must allot time to check the grounds of
both parks and alert after-hours visitors so
their vehicles arent locked inside.

WILKES-BARRE One of
two brothers charged with as-
saultinganother pair of brothers
with a baseball bat in January
2010 will stand trial on related
charges in June, a county judge
said Monday.
William A. Gogel, 38, with a
last known address of Winter
Avenue, West Hazleton, will
face charges of aggravated as-
sault, possessing an instrument
of crime, simple assault, reck-
less endangerment and harass-
ment at a June11trial, Judge Da-
vid Lupas said.
Gogel had been scheduled to
stand trial this week, but his at-
torney, Ed Olexa, requested a
continuance.
According to court papers,
Gogel, and his brother, Albert,
37, of West 15th Street, Hazle-
ton, were charged in January
2010 with assaulting Frank and
Thomas Luddy with a baseball
bat.
Albert Gogel pleaded guilty
to two counts each of reckless
endangerment and simple as-
sault in September 2010 and
was sentenced a month later to
18 months probation.
Police said they were dis-
patched to 15th Street and Em-
erald Court for the report of a
male assaulted with a bat.
When police arrived, they
found Frank Luddy with swell-
ing on his head and unable to
open his eyes.
Police also spoke with Tho-
mas Luddy, who suffered cuts
and swelling to his head. Both
men also had back and rib inju-
ries, police said.
Frank Luddy said he received
a phone call from Albert Gogel,
who wanted to settle an ongo-
ing dispute between them.
Frank Luddy said he thought
there was going to be some sort
of physical confrontation, so he
brought his brother with him.
The brothers said that when
they arrived at Albert Gogels
home, they had an argument
and Albert Gogel allegedly pep-
per sprayed Frank Luddy.
Thats when, the Luddys said,
WilliamGogel beganswinginga
bat at them.
The Luddys said they were in
fear for their lives, and the Go-
gels fled.
Albert Gogel was taken into
custody the following day, but
William Gogel was not at the
residence.
Hewas eventuallyapprehend-
ed by police and formally ar-
raigned on the charges in Janu-
ary.

WILKES-BARRE By a 6-5 vote on
Monday, Luzerne County Council
adopted an ordinance imposing a state-
approved natural gas impact fee.
The controversial ordinance enables
the county to assess a fee on unconven-
tional natural gas wells drilled here as
allowed for by Act 13, which Gov. Tom
Corbett signed into law in February.
The fee is designed to allow communi-
ties to recoup costs associated with the
negative impact of gas drilling on a
communitys infrastructure.
Its controversial because Act 13 also
strips counties and municipalities of
zoning authority over natural gas drill-
ing.
Council twice tabledthe ordinance in
March to allow more time for public
comment and information gathering.
Counties had until Monday to adopt
the fee. But even if it were not adopted,
Act 13 provides for the fee to be im-
posed countywide if at least half the
municipalities in a county adopt resolu-
tions supporting it by June 13.
Before the vote, Nancy Dolan of Exe-
ter said council had no reason to take
action on Monday.
The municipalities should have the
right todecideonthis impact feeas well
as on the future zoning ordinances that
they will have to pass in accordance
with this impact fee, Dolan said.
She also noted that Commonwealth
Court imposed a 120-day injunction on
parts of Act 13 last week to give a group
includingseveral municipalities time to
argue ina lawsuit that the lawunconsti-
tutionally takes away local powers that
protect them from potential harm. She
warnedadopting the fee couldpreclude
the county from fighting for those zon-
ing rights.
Dolan said there was no penalty for
not adopting the fee, except for the
$22,000 that were assured of. The
other moneys are not guaranteed, she
said.
Some have estimated Luzerne Coun-
ty couldbe eligible for almost half a mil-
lion dollars in state grants to repair
bridges and roads if the fee is adopted.
Larry Dellegrotto of Exeter said
council was elected to protect the prop-
erty rights of residents. This act takes
away those rights and puts them in the
hands of the gas companies. Thats not
fair, he said.
Fred Heller said it bothers him that
county council would take money
for supporting a bad bill. Its a com-
promise of principle and morality to ac-
cept the money. Do not compro-
mise, the Wright Township man said.
Dave Wasilewski of Hunlock Town-
ship said some municipalities spent
substantial money to fight provisions

FAIRVIEW TWP. Dan Madry,
whose son Brian was killed in a car
crash last summer, is downsizing an
elaborate roadside memorial at the
crash site in consideration of residents
of Glen Summit.
Between items that Madry, other
family members and friends of his son
had placed at the memorial, the memo-
rial had grown to a considerable size,
with dozens of stones with messages
written on them, photos, flowers and a
large wooden cross, about 4 feet tall,
bearing inscriptions from friends and
personal items hung on or attached to
it.
Madry was comforted by the memo-
rial when he visited it daily, and he
hoped its presence could make a differ-
ence in the lives of other teenagers and
perhaps help prevent another drunken-
driving death if he could get his sons
story out.
Brian Madry, 16, was a passenger in a
car driven by Adam Fredmund, 16, on
Lake Road on July 16. Law enforce-
ment officials had said Fredmund had
been drinking before the crash. Fred-
mund was found delinquent on a hom-
icide by vehicle charge in September
and ordered to live in a Hazleton area
group home with round-the-clock su-
pervision.
Madry and his wife, Carolyn, filed a
lawsuit in Luzerne County court
against Fredmund and the Glen Sum-
mit Co., alleging the company was neg-
ligent for failing to provide appropri-
ate security for Fountain Lake, where
Fredmund had been drinking at a par-
ty.
Madry was cited with defiant tres-
pass after Glen Summit residents saw
him chasing his dog on private proper-
ty near the memorial. A summary trial
on the charge was averted on April 4
when an agreement was reached after
Madry pledged not to go onto private
property in Fairview Township for one
year.
Since then, Madry said, a friend of
his spoke with Glen Summit board
members and shared with Madry how
they felt about him and the memorial.

SHICKSHINNY Some
area families are still feeling
the devastating effects of
last Septembers record
flooding.
However, several renova-
tion projects are now under
way in an effort to help re-
turn normalcy to some of
those families lives.
More than 50 volunteers
from the Lancaster and
Lansdale areas began work
on six home renovation pro-
jects Monday, including
two in Plains Township, one
in Hunlock Creek and three
in Shickshinny.
The volunteers are coor-
dinated through the United
Methodist Committee on
Relief, or UMCOR, a nation-
al faith-based organization
that responds to the needs
of those unable to help
themselves when faced with
natural or civil disasters.
UMCOR volunteers pro-
vide the majority of labor,
while most materials are
provided by the homeown-
ers.
Wherever possible, UM-
COR forms partnerships
with other religious and
secular organizations to
pool resources and avoid
duplicating efforts.

POLICE BLOTTER
SCRANTONAfederal grandjury has
issued a new indictment against two of
five people who were charged in connec-
tion with the armed robbery at the M&T
Bank in Hanover Township in 2010.
Kareem Shabazz and James A. Russell,
no address listed, were first charged in Ja-
nuary 2011. Authorities say the men, along
with Shaelyn Joy Davis of Wilkes-Barre,
barged into the bank carrying several
weapons, including a sawed-off shotgun,
and made off with $17,808.
Davis, of Barney Street, pleaded guilty
in August 2011 to bank robbery and carry-
ing a firearm in commission of the rob-
bery. She is scheduled to be sentenced on
May 7.
Two other persons were charged in con-
nection with the crime. Kirk Robinson,
formerly of Wilkes-Barre, is accused of
havinghelpedplantherobbery. Hefledbe-
fore he could be arrested and remains at
large, according to court documents.
Joseph Swerdon of Luzerne admitted
to being the getaway driver. He signed a
plea agreement with prosecutors last
week that calls for him to plead guilty to
bank robbery and conspiracy to use fire-
arms to commit the robbery.
According to court papers, Shabazz,
Russell and Davis, all of them armed,
stormed into the bank at around noon on
Oct. 30, 2010. Davis jumpedover the coun-
ter and demanded money. The trio then
ran from the bank and met Swerdon.
Shabazz and Russell were initially
charged with a three-count indictment on
Jan. 3, 2011. They were scheduled for trial
onMay1, but a grandjury last week issued
a second indictment that adds two addi-
tional counts.
The new indictment adds a charge of
brandishing a firearm during commission
of a crime against Shabazz andRussell and
a count of burglary against Shabazz for
transporting firearms used in the crime
fromNewYork to Pennsylvania. It was not
clear Monday whether the new indict-
ment will delay the trial.
New indictment in hold-up
By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER
tmorgan@timesleader.com
It was not clear Monday whether the
new indictment will delay the trial.
The state Superior Court has up-
held a county judges ruling that dis-
missed drug charges against a man
after it was learned Kingston police
had destroyed evidence.
The ruling precludes prosecutors
from trying Jacquil Atkinson of
NewYork on charges he possessed a
quarter-kilo, about one-half pound,
of crack cocaine that was found hid-
den inside a car in which he was a
passenger.
Atkinson and a second man, Mat-
thew Tighe, were charged in Febru-
ary 2005 after police found drugs in
their car following a traffic stop. At-
kinson was scheduled to go to trial
in July 2011, but Judge Lewis Wet-
zel, who has since left the bench,
dismissed the case after prosecu-
tors acknowledged the Kingston
Police Department had inadver-
tently destroyed the drugs.
According to court papers, police
destroyed the evidence following
the conclusion of the case against
Tighe, who pleaded guilty to vari-
ous drug charges in November
2005.
Atkinsons trial had been on hold
for several years pending resolution
of a separate issue he raised on ap-
peal, which was denied.
As the trial neared, his trial attor-
ney, David Lampman of Wilkes-
Barre, filed a motion to dismiss the
case, arguing Atkinsons defense
was hampered because he could not
have the evidence independently
tested.
The Luzerne County District At-
torneys Office appealed Wetzels
ruling to the Superior Court, citing
a prior appellate court ruling that
said a defendant must show the de-
struction of evidence was done in
bad faith.
In their response to the appeal,
Lampman and attorney Robert
Butner of Scranton maintained the
case had to be dismissed, regardless
of whether there was bad faith, be-
cause the destruction of the evi-
dence virtually precluded Atkinson
from presenting any defense to the
charge.
The Superior Court agreed. In its
ruling, the court noted there was no
evidence police intentionally de-
stroyed the evidence. It agreed with
Wetzel that the loss of the evidence
was crucial to Atkinsons case,
therefore dismissal of the charges
was warranted.
County District Attorney Stepha-
nie Salavantis said she is discussing
the courts ruling with attorneys in
her office and has not yet decided if
she will seek to appeal the ruling to
the state Supreme Court.

TomPizano said he didnt seek
his last-minute assignment over-
seeing the April 24 primary elec-
tion in Luzerne County, but
agreed because he believed he
could help.
Technologically I am not the
best person for the job, but I can
help guide the election staff
through this election, Pizano
told the county election board
Monday.
An interim director was need-
ed because county Manager Rob-
ert Lawton terminated Leonard
Piazza last week. The election
boardis questioningLawtons au-
thority to fire the director under
the home rule charter but has put
that disagreement aside to con-
centrate on the upcoming pri-
mary.
Lawton recommended Pizano,
the countys acting clerk of
courts, for the temporary assign-
ment because the former county
controller andcommissioner was
county election director for near-
ly12years until resigningin1993.
Pizano also oversaw the elec-
tion office with Stephen A. Urban
when they were commissioners
during then-director Kevin Jor-
dans unexpected leave of ab-
sence shortly before the Novem-
ber 2001 general election.
The election board voted Mon-
day toassignPizanotorunthe of-
fice. Board Chairman H. Jeremy
Packardsaida national searchfor
a permanent election director
will start immediately after the
primary.
Pizano briefed the board on
election preparations and said
the office is receiving assistance
from other county departments,
the electronic voting machine
manufacturer and state election
officials. Ballots have been load-
ed into the voting machines, he
said.
Informed sources said Piazzas
termination was largely due to
his recent decision to audit the
campaign finance reports of
county Controller Walter Grif-
fith. The controller said Piazza
had no authority to conduct the
audit and accused himof retaliat-
ing for his scrutiny of election of-
fice attendance records.
Local political consultant Bob
Caruso asked the board Monday
why Piazza was terminated and
whether a review initiated by
Griffith is still pending.
Board Solicitor Mike Butera
advised the board against dis-
cussing Piazza and said audits
will be discussed after the elec-
tion.
In other business, Fairview
Township resident Fred Heller
asked the board to take action
over the forced removal of his
campaign sign outside a town-
ship fire department polling
place in the November election.
Butera said polling place land-
lords can specify where signs
may be placed on the building,
but they must apply the require-
ment universally and cant dis-
criminate.
Butera said he notified the
judge of elections, who inquired
about the matter, and will re-
spond to Heller if he receives a
complaint from him.

WASHINGTON
Military brass embarrassed
T
he top U.S. military officer said
Monday the nations military lead-
ership is embarrassed by allegations of
misconduct against several U.S. mil-
itary members at a Colombia hotel on
the eve of President Barack Obamas
visit over the weekend.
We let the boss down, Army Gen.
Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, said at a news confer-
ence. He said he regretted that the
scandal, which also involved 11 Secret
Service agents accused of cavorting
with prostitutes at the hotel, diverted
attention from Obamas diplomacy at a
Latin America summit.
I can speak for myself and my fellow
chiefs: Were embarrassed by what
occurred in Colombia, though were
not sure exactly what it is, Dempsey
added.
Pentagon officials said earlier Mon-
day that the number of military mem-
bers involved in the scandal may be
greater than the five originally cited.
LONDON
Confessed killer on trial
Anders Behring Breivik, who has
confessed to killing 77 people in a
rampage last July, went on trial Mon-
day in Oslo for Norways worst crimi-
nal episode since World War II.
The 33-year-old right-wing extremist
has admitted to slaying 69 young peo-
ple gathered for an annual Labor Party
political camp on the Norwegian island
of Utoya on July 22 after killing eight
other people by detonating a home-
made bomb that destroyed a govern-
ment building in the center of the
Norwegian capital.
He gave a brief statement, saying: I
do not recognize the Norwegian
courts. ... You have received your man-
date from political parties which sup-
port multiculturalism.
PHILADELPHIA
3rd recent fatal fire kills 4
Fire tore through a row house early
Monday, killing two young children
and two adults in the citys third fatal
blaze in a week.
The blaze broke out at the two-story
home in west Philadelphia shortly
before 4:45 a.m., Executive Chief Ri-
chard Davison said. A 23-year-old wom-
an was pronounced dead at the scene,
and a 2-year-old boy, a 4-year-old boy
and a 68-year-old man were pro-
nounced dead at a hospital.
The fire marshals office was investi-
gating. There was no immediate word
on the cause of the blaze. Firefighters
did not find any smoke detectors.
The identities and relationships of
the victims were not released.
NEW YORK
Alleged terrorist on trial
Three former high school class-
mates, after getting terror training at
an al-Qaida outpost, discussed bomb-
ing New York City movie theaters,
Grand Central Terminal, Times Square
and the New York Stock Exchange
before targeting the citys subways, a
prosecutor said Monday at the trial for
one of the men.
Once back home, Adis Medunjanin
and the others formed a sleeper cell of
would-be suicide bombers that in 2009
nearly pulled off one of the most chill-
ing terror plots since the Sept. 11, 2001
attacks, said Assistant U.S. Attorney
James Loonam.
The men were prepared to kill
themselves and everyone else around
them men, women and children,
Loonam said during opening state-
ments in federal court in Brooklyn.
These men came so close within
days of carrying out this attack.
Defense attorney Robert Gottlieb
said: The truth is that Adis Medunja-
nin is not a terrorist, he said. Mr.
Medunjanin never planned to bomb the
New York City subways.

WASHINGTON Senate Re-
publicans derailed a Democratic
Buffett rule bill Monday forcing
the nations top earners to pay at
least 30 percent of their income in
taxes, using the day before Amer-
icans taxes are due to defy Presi-
dent Barack Obama on one of his
signature election-year issues.
By a near party-line 51-45 tally,
senatorsvotedtokeepthebill alive
but fell nine votes short of the 60
needed to continue debating the
measure. The anti-climactic out-
come was nosurprise toanyone in
a vote that was designed more to
win over voters and embarrass
senators in close races than to
push legislation into law.
At the White House, Obama de-
nounced the vote, saying Republi-
cans chose once again to protect
tax breaks for the wealthiest few
Americans at the expense of the
middle class. In a statement is-
sued after the vote, he said he
would keep pressing Congress to
help the middle class.
Its just plain wrong that mil-
lions of middle-class Americans
pay a higher share of their income
in taxes than some millionaires
and billionaires, he said.
Republicans called the measure
a divisive Democratic distraction
from the nations real problems
that would not address the econo-
mys real woes.
This legislationwill donothing
withregardtojobcreation, withre-
gard to gas prices, with regard to
economic recovery, said Sen. Jon
Kyl of Arizona, the No. 2 Senate
GOP leader. Democrats goal, he
said, was to try to drawattention
away from the issues that the
American people are most con-
cerned about.
Sen. SusanCollinsof Mainewas
the only Republican to vote to
keep the measure alive, arguing
that it was a way to begin consid-
ering a badly needed, broad re-
vamping of the entire tax code.
The lone defecting Democrat
was Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas,
whosaidmakingtherichpayafair
share of taxes shouldoccur as part
of anoverall taxoverhaul, not as a
political ploy meant to score
points.
Mondays votewas thefirst time
a Buffett rule proposal has come
to a Senate vote this election year.
The measure is nicknamed for
billionaire Warren Buffett, who
has called for higher taxes on the
rich.
Attempt at
higher tax
on wealthy
derailed
Buffet rule would have set
30 percent income tax on
those earning over $2M.
KABUL, Afghanistan For Taliban
militants and U.S. strategists alike, all
roads in this impoverished country of
mountain passes, arid deserts and nearly
impassable goat tracks lead to this an-
cient capital of 3millionpeople nestledin
a high and narrow valley.
The Taliban made their intentions
clear over the weekend, mounting spec-
tacular coordinatedattacks that spawned
an18-hour battle with Afghan and NATO
forces. Andnow, the U.S. is gearing upfor
what may be the last major American-run
offensive of the war a bid to secure the
approaches to the city.
While bombings and shootings else-
where in Afghanistan receive relatively
little attention, attacks in the capital
alarmthe general population, undermine
the governments reputationandfrighten
foreigners into fleeing the country. Thats
why insurgents on Sunday struck loca-
tions that were so fortified they could
cause little or no damage, including the
diplomatic quarter, the parliament and a
NATO base.
These are isolated attacks that are
done for symbolic purposes, and they
have not regained any territory, U.S. De-
fense Secretary Leon Panetta said Mon-
day.
The U.S.-ledspring offensive, expected
tobegininthe comingweeks, may be NA-
TOs last chance to shore up Kabuls de-
fenses before a significant withdrawal of
combat troops limits its options. The fo-
cus will be regions that control the main
access routes, roads and highways into
Kabul from the desert south and the
mountainous east. These routes are used
not only by militants but by traders carry-
ing goods from Pakistan and Iran.
The strategy in eastern Afghanistan in-
volves clearing militants from provinces
such as Ghazni, just south of the capital.
The pivotal region links Kabul with the
Taliban homeland in the south and prov-
inces bordering Pakistan to the east.
NATO, under U.S. command, will also
conduct more operations in eastern prov-
inces such as Paktika and Paktia that are
considered major infiltration routes to
the capital from insurgent safe havens in
Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Australia expects to pull
most of its troops out of Afghanistan
nearly a year earlier than planned, the
prime minister announced Tuesday, say-
ing Australian soldiers have nearly com-
pleted their mission to transfer security
responsibilities to Afghan forces in the
decade-long war.
Prime Minister Julia Gillardcitedsecu-
rity improvements and the death of Osa-
ma bin Laden and many of al-Qaidas se-
nior leaders among the reasons behind
the accelerated withdrawal, which will
likely see most troops home by the end of
2013. But one opposition lawmaker sug-
gestedthestrategywas anattempt byGil-
lard to win over war-weary voters ahead
of federal elections.

HARRISBURG Reporter Sara Ga-
nimand members of The Patriot-News of
Harrisburg staff won a Pulitzer Prize for
local reporting Monday for its coverage
of a child sex-abuse scandal at Penn State
University that led to criminal charges
against two administrators and toppled
legendary football coach Joe Paterno.
The announcement said the newspa-
per received the prize for courageously
revealing and adeptly covering the explo-
sive Penn State sex scandal involving for-
mer football coach Jerry Sandusky.
The newspaper broke news that a
grand jury was investigating Sandusky
with a front-page story in March, and was
thefirst toreport inNovember that prose-
cutors were filing child
sexual-abuse charges
against theformer Penn
State assistant football
coach.
Those scoops were
followed by a series of
reports regarding the
allegations, including
stories about the allegedvictims andhow
the matter was handled by Penn State ad-
ministrators and officials with The Sec-
ond Mile, a charity founded by Sandusky.
The papers coverage was led by Ga-
nim, 24, a police and courts reporter who
had graduated from Penn State and then
worked at the Centre Daily Times before
joining the Patriot-News in January 2011.
The Associated Press won a Pulitzer
for investigative reporting documenting
the New York Police Departments wide-
spread spying on Muslims, while The
Philadelphia Inquirer was honored in the
public service category for its examin-
ation of violence in the citys schools.
A second Pulitzer for investigative re-
porting went to The Seattle Times for a
series about accidental methadone over-
doses among patients with chronic pain.
The New York Times won two prizes,
for explanatory and international report-
ing.
The Huffington Post received its first
Pulitzer, innational reporting, for its look
at the challenges facing American veter-
ans wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.

WASHINGTON The General Ser-
vices Administration inspector general
said Monday that hes investigating pos-
siblebriberyandkickbacks intheagency,
as a central figure in a GSA spending
scandal asserted his right to remain si-
lent at a congressional hearing.
Inspector general BrianMiller, respon-
ding to a question at the hearing, said,
We do have other ongoing investiga-
tions, includingall sortsof improprieties,
includingbribes, includingpossible kick-
backs.
Jeffrey Neely, who asserted his Fifth
Amendment privilege before the com-
mittee, has been placed on leave as a re-
gional executive in Western states.
Neely, summoned before the House
Oversight and Government Reform
Committee, couldfacea criminal investi-
gation by the Justice Department
wherehiscasewasreferredbytheinspec-
tor general.
Neely was largely responsible for an
$823,000 Las Vegas conference in 2010
that was the focus of Millers report.
Three other congressional commit-
tees also are looking at the conference
spending and a culture of waste at the
agency in charge of federal buildings and
supplies
Mr. Chairman, on advice of counsel I
decline to answer based on my constitu-
tional privilege, Neely said in response
to questions fromchairman Darrell Issa,
R-Calif. The conference was the subject
of ahighlycritical report byMiller issued
on April 2.
Taxpayers picked up the tab for a
clown, amind-reader, bicycles for ateam-
building exercise.
MarthaJohnson, whoresignedaschief
of theagencyafter theinspector generals
report was issued this month, said the
Western Regions Conference had
evolvedintoaraucous, extravagant, arro-
gant, self-congratulatory event.
Johnson, whomlawmakers accused of
sittingonthe findings for11months after
receiving an interimbriefing fromthe in-
spector general, apologized to the
American people for the entire situation.
Astheheadof theagency, I amrespon-
sible. I deeplyregret that theexceedingly
goodworkof GSAhasbeenbesmirched. I
will mourn for the rest of my life the loss
of my appointment.
Previously, Neely had told inspector
general investigators that a $2,700 party
he threwin his Las Vegas hotel suite was
an employee-awards event, according to
a transcript of the interview.

GREAT WEATHER IN BLOOM
B
ethania Jimenez, Lenny Jimenez and Marie Contreras enjoy the warm weather
and cool breeze under a flowering tree in Wilkes-Barre. The high temperature
reached 87 degrees, one-degree shy of the record of 88 set in 2002. The remainder
of the week has mostly sunny skies with temperatures in the mid to high 60s be-
fore showers move in Friday night.
A Wednesday night debate
scheduled by the League of
Women Voters of Lackawanna
County between the Democrat-
ic candidates in
the 17th Con-
gressional Dis-
trict has been
canceled be-
cause incumbent
U.S. Rep. Tim
Holden did not respond to an
invitation.
Challenger Matt Cartwright
accepted the leagues invita-
tion to the event that was set
for 7 p.m. on the campus of
the University of Scranton.
The debate is off, said An-
drea Mulrine, the president of
the league chapter.
She notified the Cartwright
campaign Sunday of the can-
cellation citing league rules
that debates can only take
place with two or more candi-
dates.
We dont do empty-chair de-
bates, Mulrine said on Mon-
day, and noted that it is rare
the candidate doesnt respond
at all. We generally get a re-
sponse.
The cancellation means
there will no face-to-face de-
bates between the two Demo-
crats before Tuesdays primary
election.
Cartwright, a Moosic attor-
ney, invited Holden to hold a
debate in each of the six coun-
ties that make up the 17th Dis-
trict. A Holden campaign
spokesman said at the time
that six was unlikely but one
was feasible.
Then at an endorsement
event last Thursday in Wilkes-
Barre, Holden was asked when
a debate with Cartwright
would occur and the 10-term
congressman said he doesnt
have the time to debate.
Citing his job duties plus the
rigors of campaigning against a
rare primary election oppo-
nent, Holden, of St. Clair,
Schuylkill County, said he be-
lieved news coverage and cam-
paign events gave the public a
good idea of where the candi-
dates stand on issues.
A message left with Eric Na-
gy, a Holden campaign spokes-
man, was not immediately re-
turned Monday.
The winner of the primary
fight will face Republican Lau-
reen Cummings of Old Forge in
November.

PLAINS TWP. Domestic
violence charges against Du-
pont Councilman Brian Nes-
goda were dismissed during a
preliminary hearing before
District Judge Diana Malast
on Monday.
Dupont police had filed
charges of aggravated assault,
simple assault, terroristic
threats, disorderly conduct
and harassment against Nes-
goda, 37, on March 11 after his
wife, Tracy Nesgoda, alleged
he kicked her and knocked her
to the floor in their residence.
She also said Nesgoda loaded
a gun and threatened to kill
her, according to the criminal
complaint.
The charges were dismissed
when Tracy Nesgoda opted
not to testify against her hus-
band.
WILKES-BARRE A city
woman scheduled to stand
trial this week on charges she
left two children unsupervised
at a playground requested a
delay in her trial, now sched-
uled to begin May 22.
Donna Heller, 52, of North
Hancock Street, faces two
counts of endangering the
welfare of children. Judge Lesa
Gelb scheduled the new trial
date Monday at the request of
Hellers attorney, Mark Singer.
Heller was charged after
police allege she left a 4-year-
old girl and a 21-month-old
girl unsupervised at the Coal
Street Playground on May 24,
2011.
Heller drove away and re-
turned five minutes later only
to stay inside her car, which
was parked 150 feet away from
the playground, according to
the complaint.

One project that began Mon-
day took place in the Shick-
shinny home of Janet Krzyw-
icki.
Krzywicki had nearly 8 feet
of Susquehanna River water in
the first floor, and once the wa-
ters receded she returned
home to find most of her floor-
ing and belongings badly dam-
aged.
Krzywicki said a contractor
was hired to make repairs but
never returned to finish the
job. That left the mother of
two searching for someone
who could help.
A Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency representa-
tive told her about UMCOR,
and the relief work it does for
those affected by disasters.
Its a blessing to have them
here, Krzywicki said.
Volunteers began the reno-
vation by installing carpeting
in the living room and stair-
well area.
Coordinated through UM-
COR, Todd Harper was one of
the volunteers that made the
journey to Northeastern Penn-
sylvania to begin repairs.
Harper has a full-time job, a
wife and two children in his
hometown of Lansdale, Mont-
gomery County, but he knew
there was a significant need
for help here.
I thought about it and said
Theres definitely a calling
here, Harper said.
Douglas Sivers, northeast
coordinator for the Susque-
hanna Conference of United
Methodist Churches, said
that through the work of vol-
unteers, things are beginning
to look brighter for flood vic-
tims.
People can begin to see the
end in sight, Sivers said.
Project coordinator Garry
Van Scoy said the visiting vol-
unteer groups are committed
to the area until September,
with additional projects in
West Pittston slated to begin
in late April.
Van Scoy said those with
questions about their eligibil-

about UMCOR help
I didnt realize that people
who live there were unhappy
with a large memorial at the
crash site. You see, when you
lose a child, you dont see any-
thing but your own pain, Ma-
dry said.
I just woke up one day a cou-
ple days ago and thought, May-
be I need to be a little more
open. It was one-sided of me
not to think about other peo-
ple. I didnt really think about
anyone else and didnt care
about how they feel, he said.
Madry also said he came to
realize that Police Chief Joe In-
telicado and officer Phillip Hol-
brook were only trying to keep
the peace, and I only thought of
me. I just want to apologize.
Im looking to make peace
with people in Glen Summit,
he said.
Madry said he hopes read-
ers treat the women who re-
ported him to police with re-
spect. I have no hard feelings
and knowwe are all Gods chil-
dren, he said.
Madry still believes lan-
downers should have done
more to keep an eye on the
lake and report to police if
teenagers were partying
there, and he believes more
can still be done. He suggests
installing video cameras for a
couple hundred dollars and
some spotlights around the
property, and he would be
happy to work with Glen Sum-
mit residents to make that
happen.
In the last few days, Madry
has removed the large cross
and all of the stones. He said
many of the messages written
on them have since faded, and
the cross was looking worn, as
were many other items. He
erected a new, smaller cross
and left a couple photos and
one bouquet of artificial flow-
ers.
Madry said his sons were up-
set that he removed the large
cross. They dont see things
from an adult perspective. It
started not looking too good
and, in my eyes, it wasnt re-
spectful to keep it here, Madry
said.
He plans on removing much
of the remaining items from
the site when a slate plaque
that a friend is making in honor
of Brian is complete, and plac-
ing the plaque there in perpe-
tuity.
I know where he died and
where his soul left, Madry
said. Do I want something gi-
gantic that takes up a city
block? I dont think so.

Never before and never again will

major urban area.
Jeffrey N. Rudolph
The president of the California Science Center
expects a large turnout in downtown Los Angeles
when the retired space shuttle Endeavour gets delivered later this year
for public display. Other vessels in the now-defunct fleet are soon bound
for museums in New York, Florida and northern Virginia.
O
H LORD, ITS that
timeof year. Youstare
at the words on the
form. Short-term
gainfromForm6252andshort-
termgain or (loss) fromForms
4684, 6781, and 8824. ... And
you think, somewhere the
world is at peace and people
gaze from a beach as the sun
dips below the horizon and no
one is taken hostage, ever, by
the most diabolical tax code on
the face of the planet.
Seventy-fiveyearsago, thein-
structionbooklet forForm1040
wastwopages. Todayitsnearly
200. The tax code in all its ma-
lignant glory is nearly 4 million
words. No one fully under-
stands what thosewords mean.
Ninety percent of individual
taxpayers have given up trying
to decrypt the codes Delphic
language. They hire somebody
elsetodoit, or try. This year, in-
dividual taxpayers and busi-
nesses will spend more than 7
billion hours as tax-code hos-
tages. Imagine the load that
would be lifted fromthe econo-
my if that burden could be cut,
say, inhalf.
Our lawgivers make a pre-
tense of feeling our pain. Then
they go back to Washington,
wherelobbyistsmakethemfeel
their pain, and the lawmakers
obediently spray more loop-
holes and exclusions into the
code. Since 1986, when many
deductions were wipedout and
the top rate dropped to 28 per-
cent, there have been 15,000
changes.
The late U.S. Sen. Daniel Pa-
trick Moynihan put his finger
on the problem. Thanks to our
basic political dynamic, when
rates go up, loopholes flow in,
almost like a hydraulic phe-
nomenon.
The obvious compromise, if
you want a simpler code, is to
lower the rates and carve out
the loopholes exactly what
President Barack Obamas bi-
partisan deficit commission
suggestedmorethanayearago.

Reader warns against
exotic animals as pets
T
his letter is going to touch on a couple
of concerns of which people need to be
aware. Maybe knowledge and solutions
can come from it to help ensure the lives of
all living creatures.
First, shame on all of you who take wild-
life from natural habitats and bring them
here for your own selfish reasons, one
being empty nest syndrome. There are
enough children out there who need par-
ents, foster parents, etc. Yet you choose to
raise monkeys, such as macaques no less,
and dangerous ones at that.
Shame on you, Mr. Jeffrey Arnott; Im an
animal lover, too, but my concerns are to
reach out to those that are abused and
abandoned. I feel you need to learn the
great harm you potentially are doing.
May I suggest looking up people such as
wildlife conservationist Lane Droscher-
Nielsen, project manager for Nyaru Men-
teng Orangutan Reintroduction Project, or
Phil Cronje at Chimp Eden Sanctuary in
Mpumalanga, Africa? Learn how to help,
not hurt.
People, please! Im begging you. If you
want a pet family, there are plenty of un-
wanted animals at your local SPCA. For a
minimum fee you can have a life of love!

Writer: All is not well
in Pennsylvania courts
F
or the last 22 years I basically have
been screaming from the rooftops that
judicial corruption is not only real, but
also prevalent in the Pennsylvania courts.
Until a person is thrust into the court
system, one has no basis to conclude the
courts are anything but fair and honest.
That is exactly how I felt until I experi-
enced my own rude awakening in the
1990s.
I was chastised by the then-president
judge of Luzerne County for even hinting
there might be a problem in the courts.
His quote: How dare you question the
integrity of this court? Three Luzerne
county judges are in federal prison on
public corruption charges, and that in-
cludes the son of the president judge who
admonished me.
The question is no longer Is there cor-
ruption in the Pennsylvania judicial sys-
tem? Rather its this:How extensive is
this corruption? In the case of Luzerne
County, the judicial corruption addressed
by the federal indictments of these three
judges halted corruption that flourished
for years unabated. For the most part, the
judges illegal activity was properly report-
ed to the Pennsylvania Judicial Conduct
Board and the Pennsylvania Supreme
Court. Neither oversight organization
fulfilled its requirements to intervene.
Rather, both organizations seemingly
rejected legitimate, provable information
of misconduct that was provided to them.
Was this incompetence or culpability?
Apparently we will never know the an-
swer to this question, as neither orga-
nization is talking and no one is demand-
ing that they do so. It also appears that the
JCB went so far as to successfully attack a
whistleblower in violation of its own
rules and procedures.
Window dressing legislation has become
the order of the day instead of hard-core
reform and accountability. It appears that
not a single Pennsylvania legislator has the
spine or fortitude to take on the toughest
issues concerning fairness under the law.
Corruption in the judiciary affects every-
one, whether or not you are ever involved
in litigation. Our entire society is based on
fairness and unbiased adjudication under
the law. Examples of judicial corruption go
unchallenged every year. Our courts moral
compass is askew, and our leaders are
intoxicated on power and money while
steering us onto the rocks, all the while
telling us, All is well.
All is not well. The very private club
informally known as the black robe socie-
ty must be held accountable by the citi-
zens who pay the bills and not by the aspir-
ing individuals who someday hope to
become members.

Disabled patient finds
poor access to building
S
everal months ago I became disabled
due to a severe leg injury. In the course
of my treatment I was required to see a
doctor at the Center for Same Day Sur-
gery, Wilkes-Barre. I visited this building
three times, and three times I had trouble
accessing the building because of delivery
trucks or other vehicles blocking the front
door that has a handicapped access area.
The drivers of these vehicles were indif-
ferent or rude when told about this prob-
lem. There are signs that read no park-
ing, but nothing is marked on the pave-
ment.
I alerted some employees, but apparent-
ly no action was immediately taken. I
guess its going to take an accident and
subsequent lawsuit to remedy this prob-
lem.

Senior alerts residents
to harmful phone scams
I
am a proud U.S. citizen, ex-military,
family guy, community-minded and
active church person. You name it, and
Ive probably been there. I will be 82 years
old this month.
Please do not be deceived by a phone
scam, as I almost was. They prey on your
most precious possessions, which are your
family members. We have four children,
eight grandchildren and two great-grand-
children. We deeply love all of them. We,
and our precious oldest grandson, were
targeted in this scam.
I wont go into details, but for 4 hours
recently we almost succumbed. We are
about $2,000 more to the good.
Believe me, folks, the scam is extremely
believable. They almost had us!
We are old, not masters degree educat-
ed, but we are not ignorant to facts. So
please dont be dumb and yield to their
demands. No matter how realistic the calls
might be, and no matter how much your
heart palpitates, do not send money. We
did not, and we are so thankful for that.
A special thank-you goes to our friends
and family members who helped us
through this ordeal. They know who they
are, and God bless you.

Rotary leadership camp
helped soldier to excel
A
mong the many excellent endeavors of
the Rotary Club are its leadership
camps. Hundreds of the finest young
people have attended.
I worked with our brightest young peo-
ple at these camps. A father of one of our
campers, Mr. Hitzner, recently approached
me and mentioned his son is in our armed
forces and attained the rank of captain. He
recently took the exam for Green Berets
and out of almost 200 applicants came in
second. Now Michael Hitzner is a Green
Beret.
The father thanked me for all that his
son learned at the Rotary camp. He was
able to put this into use in the service of
our country.

The Tubs, which opened to
the public in 1992, includes a
geologic formation of seven
sandstone potholes in the
path of the flowing Wheelbar-
row Run. Many geologists be-
lieve the smooth tubs were
formed during the last Ice
Age more than 10,000 years
ago, according to the county
website.
The 532-acre nature area,
which also falls in Laurel
Run, includes hiking trails.
Past commissioners had
voted in 2009 to complete an
up to $50,000 master plan of
the Tubs, with half the ex-
pense funded by the state De-
partment of Conservation
and Natural Resources.
However, county officials
gave up the state grant in
2010 and put the study on
hold, in part because the state
was considering taking over
the park.
An agreement was never re-
ached, though county offi-
cials have expressed an inter-
est in continued discussion
about a state takeover of both
the Tubs and Moon Lake Park.
TUBS
CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER
Vehicles crowd the entrance area to the Seven Tubs Nature Area in Plains Township on Monday because the access road gate is
locked.
night shifts a month inter-
spersed with day or evening
hours raises the risk, too,
says a recent report from re-
searchers who analyzed years of
medical records from the huge
Nurses Health Study.
Diet and physical activity are
big factors in Type 2 diabetes.
Certainly its harder to work
out or choose an apple over a
doughnut whenyoure tired, es-
pecially at 3 a.m. when your
bodys internal clock knows
you should be sleeping.
But a study published last
week shows sleep plays a more
complex role than that. As sleep
drops and normal biological
rhythms are disrupted, your
body physically changes in ways
that canhelpset thestagefor dia-
betes, reports neuroscientist Or-
feu Buxton of Bostons Brigham
and Womens Hospital.
Buxtons team had 21 healthy
volunteers spend almost six
weeks living in a laboratory
where their diet, physical activ-
ity, sleep and even the light was
strictly controlled.
The volunteers started out
well-rested. But for three of
those weeks, they were allowed
only about 5
1
2 hours of sleep ev-
ery 24 hours at varying times
of the day or night, to mimic a
bad shift rotation or prolonged
jet lag. That knocked out of
whack the bodys circadian
rhythm, a master biological
clock.
What happened was startling:
Blood sugar levels increased af-
ter meals, sometimes to pre-dia-
betic levels, because the pan-
creas stopped secreting enough
insulin, Buxton reported in the
journal Science Translational
Medicine.
At the same time, the volun-
teers metabolic rate slowed by
8 percent. The researchers had
them on a diet so they didnt
gain weight but Buxton says
typically, a metabolism drop of
that size could mean gaining10
to 12 pounds over a year.
The results make sense, says
Dr. Michael Thorpy, sleep cen-
ter director at NewYorks Mon-
tefiore Medical Center and a
neurology professor at Albert
Einstein College of Medicine.
If were going to spend a
third of our day sleeping,
theres got to be a good reason
for it, says Thorpy, who notes
that diabetes is far fromthe on-
ly worry.
SLEEP
NUANGOLA Maureen Keiner of
Ridge Street returned to borough council
on Monday night to complain about water
intruding upon her property.
Only this time she blamed Rice Town-
ship and the Laurel Lakes Association.
Keiner told council an inspection by Da-
vid Allen of the Pennsylvania Game Com-
missionshowedthefault lieswithanillegal
blockage of a runoff area of Laurel Lakes
that wasexecutedrecentlytoraisethelevel
of thelake. As a result of this action, Keiner
said, part of her land has become what she
described as a swampy, odorous mess.
Shetoldcouncil Allendidtheinspection
after DEPallegeda beaver damat the spill-
way between Lake Nuangola and Laurel
Lakes caused the lake level to rise. Keiner
said Allen assured her beavers were not at
fault. Rather a runoff stream in Laurel
Vancosky was criticized about the
newly installed electronic security system
at the municipal building. Councilman Joe
Tucker contended surveillance cameras
were installedat locations other thanwhat
were approved at the March meeting.
CouncilwomanElaineDonahuesupported
Tucker in this argument. Sally DiRico, sec-
retary of the Nuangola Sewer Authority,
questioned Vancosky about oversight of
the system.
Vancosky, because he arranged for the
purchase and installation of two cameras,
conceded he primarily was responsible for
reviewing data from the recording system
andfor the locationof the cameras. Tucker
contendedanindividual independent from
council should have oversight. There was
noresolutiontothesecuritysystemissues.
Tucker and Donahue objected to a propos-
al by Vancosky that additional cameras
could be purchased.
Lakes had been sandbagged to raise the
level of that lake.
Laurel Lakes is situated in Rice Town-
ship.
Regina Plodwick, council chairwoman,
advised Keiner to talk to Rice officials. Al-
so, Plodwick said she has mailed a three-
page letter to state Sen. Lisa Baker about
the problem.
Because there is also the threat of mos-
quitoinfestationthis summer, Councilman
Ted Vancosky told Keiner he has been in
touch with an independent agency to con-
duct tests for West Nile Virus. Keiner also
raised the issue of the overall integrity of
Lake Nuangola being in danger.
In other business:
Plodwick said information from the
Federal Emergency Management Agency
indicates the borough is in line to receive
$12,213 in FEMAfunds for damage caused
by the flood of 2011.

ry Ann King at first opposed the
idea, but later votedtopursue the
Requests for Qualifications.
The RFQ is near completion
and will be announced after the
next authority meeting.
Mayor Tom Leighton revealed
last week his plan to look into
leasing the citys 2,113 garage
spaces, 160 surface lot spaces and
800 parking
meters. The
city oper-
ates the In-
termodal
Center and
the parking
meters; the
authority
operates the
Park &Lock
garages and
all surface lots.
He said the city is seeking a
minimum of $20 million up
front andretentionof theenforce-
ment revenue from the parking
meters.
Katarsky said he and other au-
thoritymembers are lookingfor a
higher price.
I dont think we will pursue
this if the numbers arent there,
Katarsky said. I dont think $20
million is enough up front. Well
see what offers we get and see
what happens from there.
If we dont get the right offer,
we cannipthis whole thing inthe
bud, he said.
Drew McLaughlin, the citys
administrative coordinator, said
the citys financial consultants
originally proposed a possible
lease of parking assets in 2004 as
one of many revenue options for
the citys financial recovery.
Leighton said the city was
faced with a $10 million deficit
when he assumed office in 2004
and the city had lost its credit rat-
ing.
It was not pursued at the time
because the downtown parking
assets were not at optimumvalue
largely due to the state of the
downtown business district,
McLaughlin said.
Economic improvement
McLaughlin said the fiscal and
economic portrait of the city has
improved, making the parking
spaces more valuable. He cited
construction of the Intermodal
Transportation Center and new
lighting and sidewalk improve-
ments downtown as key ingre-
dients in making Wilkes-Barre an
attractive investment opportunity.
The city will be seeking bids
on a lease of the assets froma po-
sition of strength and only if a
good deal for the people of
Wilkes-Barre materializes will a
lease agreement be executed,
McLaughlin said. This is the
right time to pursue this initia-
tive.
Sofar theauthorityhas paidFox
Rothschild around $83,000, ac-
cording to its consultant Alan
Wohlstetter. J.J. Murphy has been
retained by Fox Rothschild, not
the Parking Authority directly.
Since 2010, Wohlstetter and
Fox Rothschild have donated be-
tween $5,000 and $6,000 to
Leightons campaigns, according
to the mayors campaign finance
reports.
Projects timing
McLaughlin said the RFQ re-
sponses are to be submitted by
May 15 and qualified bidders will
be identified by June 5.
He said a due-diligence process
will take place in June and July,
with bid proposals due by July 31.
Final andbinding proposals would
beduebyAug.15andselectionof a
vendor by the end of November.
According to parking authority
minutes, Leighton came to the au-
thority in December to pitch the
idea of leasing the parking assets.
MurphyattendedtheMarch20
meeting and reported on the
RFQ process. He also recom-
mended Desman Associated, a
Chicago-based nationally known
parking consultant that will ana-
lyze all proposals, and he set the
minimum bid at $25 million.
Whatever amount the city ac-
cepts on the upfront payment, $7
million of it will be used to retire
the remaining debt on the Inter-
modal Transportation Center,
Leighton said.
Onthe bill fromGoals Consult-
ing, Murphys firm, charges
range from .2 hrs (12 minutes, or
$60) to seven hours, or $2,100.
The bill references city officials
by first name and in the case of

WHATS
NEXT
percent to 43 percent -- most po-
litical observers feel the former
Hazletonmayor is nowina better
position to win re-election in No-
vember.
Before Vinsko can take on Bar-
letta, hemust defeat GeneStilpin
the April 24 primary. Stilp, an ac-
tivist best known for bringing an
inflatable pink pig to protest gov-
ernment wasteful spending and
fraud, lives inDauphinCounty, at
the southern section of the new
11th District.
TheRNCknewwecouldraise
money and win this seat, Vinsko
said during a meeting with edi-
tors and reporters at The Times
Leader. This was the most egre-
gious caseof redistricting. People
will saywecant win, but obvious-
ly we feel differently.
I believe Im the only candi-
date that can defeat Lou Barlet-
ta, he said.
Assistant city solicitor
Vinsko, the assistant city attor-
ney inWilkes-Barre, saidhe plans
tomove intothe11thDistrict, but
he didnt say when.
He said he decided to run for
Congress because he loves gov-
ernment and likes to write legis-
lation.
If youregoingtorunfor office,
runfor thejobyouwant todo, he
said. This is a job I really want to
do.
Vinsko said he is frustrated
watching Congress do nothing.
He saidthe key is tobe able tone-
gotiate and compromise across
the political aisle to effect mea-
ningful legislation. He noted the
current approval rating of mem-
bers of Congress is in the 10 per-
cent to 12 percent range.
That tells you we need a
changeinCongress, Vinskosaid.
Last year, there were just 95 bills
passed. Thats just not enough.
Vinsko said he is outside the
district for the same reason 65
percent of it is now in the 11th
political gerrymandering.
Issues do not stop at district
boundary lines, he said.
Vinsko said he will vote to en-
sure Social Security and Medi-
care are not taken from senior ci-
tizens. He said Barletta, R-Hazle-
ton, cant vote for U.S. Rep. Paul
Ryans budget plan and say hes
protecting Social Security and
Medicare. He said he would look
at the Affordable Care Act andex-
tract the good aspects of it and
build on those.
Vinsko said constituency ser-
vice would be a top priority. He
pointed to the aftermath of last
years flooding and noted the city
was far ahead of other municipal-
ities in getting help for its citi-
zens.
Pro-life stance
Vinsko, a Roman Catholic, is
pro-life.
I will never checkmy Catholic
values at the door, he said. Ima
pro-life Democrat who will pro-
tect children.
VinskosaidtheU.S. must stand
up for Israel, and he is concerned
about Irans intent to have nucle-
ar weaponry.
We must be careful so we
dont get into major conflicts that
wecant afford, Vinskosaid. But
we cant allowIran to possess nu-
clear weapons.
Vinsko said he plans to raise
and spend about $150,000 in the
primary. If he wins the nomina-
tion, he said, he will have to raise
much more to run a competitive
campaign in the fall against Bar-
letta.
Vinskoalsosupports campaign
finance reform, calling the cur-
rent system crazy. He said that
30 years ago there were eight or
nine candidates in the 11th Dis-
trict.
Nowthere are three, he said.
Thecost torunacampaignis ex-
cessive. We have to find a way to
level the playing field.
Vinsko favors lowering the na-
tional debt, proper use of ear-
marks, protecting the environ-
ment, forgiveness of a percentage
of student loans, alternative ener-
gy development and taxing the
Marcellus Shale natural gas in-
dustry.
We must be fiscally smart, he
said.

me is nothingcomparedtothe long-term

The only resident to speak in favor of a
positivevotewas FredMurrayof Jackson

have the vision to think ahead because,
although two wells drilled in the county
did not produce marketable amounts of
natural gas, Utica oil could be right un-
der our landout here. This place needs
Act 13.
Voting for the ordinance were Linda
Houck, Eugene Kelleher, TimMcGinley,
Rick Williams and Chairman Jim Bo-
beck; voting against were Elaine Curry,
Harry Haas, Rick Morelli, Stephen A. Ur-
ban and Stephen J. Urban.
Several council members explained
their reasoning.
Morelli said opponents made a strong
case and helped him decide to oppose
the ordinance.
Kelleher noted a section of the ordi-
nance states that its adoption does not
limit the countys right to challenge the
validity of provisions of Act 13.
Williams askedsolicitor Dave Schwag-
er if adopting the ordinance could com-
promise councils ability to challenge
provisions of Act 13.
Schwager said it was a possibility.
Stephen A. Urban said he would vote
no because council does not have the au-
thoritytousurpthe local authorityof lo-
cal zoning and planning boards.
Kelleher said council was voting on
impact fees, not on Act 13. If this comes
inat what two state legislators have said,
at $760,000, that moneyI thinkis duethe
local taxpayers, and I will vote yes.
Curry said legislation needs to be
fair and Act 13 is a gift to the gas drill-
ers and I cant support it.
Houcksaidthereal gift wouldbefail-
ing to adopt an impact fee.
Bobeck said the county could see in-
frastructure problems related to gas
drilling in the future and to not have
anything down the road for problems
would be short-sighted.

We really havent had many

I
f head coach Dan Bylsma really
doesnt want his Pittsburgh Pen-
guins getting down and dirty, he
should try talking to his star.
Because if Sidney Crosby doesnt get
a grip on himself soon, the Penguins
are going to lose their season.
Theyve already lost control of a
first-round playoff series with the rival
Philadelphia Flyers.
But instead of fighting to get back in
it, the Penguins fought with their fists.
When they werent turning Sundays
Game 3 of the Eastern Conference
quarterfinals into an all-out brawl, they
were transforming the game into a
rugby scrum.
And most of it started with Crosby.
You know, theres more than one
team getting in those things, Crosby
said.
But only one guy seemed intent on
instigating such shenanigans.
Right from the start of Philadelphias
8-4 victory in Game 3, Crosby seemed
determined to put up his dukes.
He shoved a glove in the face of
Flyers scoring star Claude Giroux,
causing a scuffle between the two.
Moments later, Crosby incited anoth-
er fight when he knocked a glove from
the hand of Flyers winger Jacob Vora-
cek, then poked the glove away just as
Voracek leaned down to pick it up.
I dont like any guy on their team,
so , Crosby said. It was near me and
he went to pick it up and I pushed it.
Guys are emotional and there is a lot of
stuff going on out there.
It was a punk move.
There is no reason to explain,
Crosby said. I dont have to sit here
and explain why I pushed a glove away.
They are doing a lot of things out
there, too. You know what, we dont
like each other. Was I going to sit there
and pick up his glove? What was I
supposed to do?
He could have tried pushing pucks
into the net instead of pushing a fallen
glove across the ice.
Because Crosbys best retaliation for
any perceived slight would have been
beating the Flyers and pulling the Pen-
guins back into the series.
Crosby didnt do it.
Instead of answering back with shots
and scores, Crosby fired at the Flyers
with his fists and more than a few foul
words.
Guess what?
The Flyers loved it.
You dont see Sidney Crosby fight-
ing, basically at all, said Flyers winger
Scott Hartnell said. Hes doing that
kind of stuff, hes off his game.
Crosby started about every scrum.
There were plenty of those Sunday
as the teams combined for 148 penalty
minutes, including 10-minute mis-
conduct penalties on Penguins Kris
Letang, former WBS Penguins defense-
man Deryk Engelland, James Neal and
Craig Adams, a match penalty on Ar-
ron Asham and a five-minute fighting
major on Crosby.
Thats not exactly the type of poise
Bylsmas been preaching, with his
Penguins now down 3-0 in the series
and on the brink of getting swept
Wednesday.
Thats an area of the game we want
to stay away from, Bylsma said. We
dont want to be involved in those
situations against this team. We want
to stay whistle to whistle and minimize
the amount of penalties in the game
and not create those scenarios.
He might want to let his star scorer
in on that gameplan.
Skate away? Crosby asked incred-
ulously when it was suggested he could
have done so.
At least partly because he and the
Penguins didnt, their seasons now
skating away.

have several different hitters on
the court that could register a
quick point

Monday as six
different Royals had a kill and

The Royals (6-0) wonby scores

their conference winning streak
to 51 matches.

Fromthe beginningof the sea-

our schedule with both Lehman

both great teams, said Redeem-

up a match-high 15 kills with 17

made the game look so simple.
This ones for you, Mom, Marissa
Nardone said as she entered the field to
bat in the top of the seventh inning.
Two pitches later, Nardone was cir-
cling the bases after slamming a home
run to left field, capping a big day for the
Patriots in a 16-6 victory over Wyoming
Valley West in Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence softball play Monday.
It was Dave DeLucas first victory as
coach of the Patriots (1-5 WVC).
Were finally starting
to come around, DeLu-
ca said. This was the
first game weve had a
lead. We were stringing
hits together. Its nice to
be aggressive with base-
runners and bunt and
such.
Pittston Area jumped out to a 10-0 lead
in the top of the fourth, putting up mul-
tiple runs for three consecutive innings.
Atrio of singles made two runs inthe sec-
ond inning, and doubles by Nardone and
Kelly Keener sparked a five-run third.
Keeners two-run triple to right in the
fourth inning brought the lead to double
digits.
We had kids come off the bench and
contribute, DeLuca said. This group
didnt let up, evenwhenit was down15 to
Nanticoke.
In the middle of the fourth inning, Val-

pulled a hockey line change, sending
eight players to new positions, including
five players from the bench. Pitcher Kel-

OTTAWA Henrik Lundqvist made
39 saves for his fourth NHL playoff shut-
out, and Brian Boyle scored for the third
straight game to break a third-period tie

TheRangers, wholost Game2at home
in overtime, lead the best-of-seven, first-
round series 2-1. Game 4 will be Wednes-
day night in Ottawa before the series re-

last minute when he robbed Kyle Turris
on the doorstep with a quick pad stop.
Craig Anderson was nearly as good,
keeping the Senators in it with a 22-save
effort.

Bobby Butler replaced Alfredsson.
Chris Kreider, who nine days earlier won
the NCAA championship with Boston
College, made his NHL debut in place of
Hagelin.
The Senators dominated play early in
the third period, forcing Lundqvist to
make a number of saves. But it was the
Rangers who scored the only goal of the
game.

ATLANTAIke Davis hit a
tiebreaking three-run homer
and Dillon Gee pitched four-hit
ball over seven innings, leading
the NewYork Mets to another
victory over the Atlanta Braves,
6-1Monday night.
The Mets snapped Atlantas
five-game winning streak and
added to their three-game
sweep of the Braves in New
York to start the season.
With the game tied at 1in the
sixth, Atlanta intentionally
walked hot-hitting David
Wright with two outs to get to
Davis, who was batting just
.118. The strategy backfired
when Tommy Hanson (1-2)
hung a 2-2 pitch and Davis
drove it into the right-field
seats. Gee (1-1) was never in
much trouble. Atlanta put
together a couple of hits and a
walk in the second, leading to
its only run on Jack Wilsons
RBI groundout.
Nationals 6, Astros 3
WASHINGTONStephen
Strasburg pitched six innings
for his second win of the sea-
son, to lead the Washington
Nationals to a victory over the
Houston Astros.
Strasburg looked nearly
unhittable for five innings,
allowing just three singles, but
the Astros got to himin the
sixth for two runs and three
hits.
Padres 7, Rockies1
DENVERCory Luebke
threwseven efficient innings
and Chase Headley tied a team
record with three doubles,
helping the San Diego Padres
snap a four-game skid with a
victory over the Colorado Rock-
ies.

BOSTON James Shields
allowed four hits in 8 1-3 in-
nings, and the Tampa Bay Rays
beat the Boston Red Sox 1-0
Monday to avoid a four-game
sweep.
Joe Maddon got his 500th
win as a manager, all with
Tampa Bay, as the Rays stop-
ped a four-game losing streak.
The only run came when
Daniel Bard (0-2) walked Evan
Longoria on four pitches with
the bases loaded in the sev-
enth.
Shields (2-0) led the majors
with 11 complete games last
year and had a chance for an-
other until he walked Dustin
Pedroia with one out in the
ninth. Fernando Rodney retired
the next two batters for his
fourth save in four chances.
Shields gave up four singles
and two walks while striking
out five as the Rays finally shut
down the team that had out-
scored them 31-11 in the previ-
ous three games. Only one
Boston runner got past first
base.
The loss was Bobby Valen-
tines first at Fenway Park as
Bostons manager. Fans booed
when he went back to the
dugout after lifting Bard for
Justin Thomas following the
run-scoring walk.
Twins 7, Yankees 3
NEW YORK Carl Pavano
quieted an unfriendly Yankee
Stadium crowd with seven
solid innings, Justin Morneau
played in the field for the first
time this season and hit a long
homer, and Minnesota earned
a rare victory in New York.
Joe Mauer had three hits,
including two doubles, and
every position player had a hit
in a tweaked Minnesota lineup.
Josh Willingham batted fourth
for the first time this season
and was one of seven Twins to
drive in a run.
Minnesota won for just the
sixth time in 34 regular-season
games in the Bronx since Ron
Gardenhire took over as man-
ager in 2002.
Tigers 3, Royals 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Jus-
tin Verlander beat Kansas City
once again, surviving a shaky
ninth inning Monday night to
deliver the Detroit Tigers a
victory over the Royals.
Orioles 10, White Sox 4
CHICAGO Matt Wieters
homered twice, including a
10th-inning grand slam, lifting
the Baltimore Orioles to a
come-from-behind win over the
Chicago White Sox.

STANDINGS/STATS
MIAMI Miami Marlins
broadcaster Cookie Rojas is a
baseball lifer who has seen Ozzie
Guillen backpedal before from
outlandish statements that pro-
voked outrage.
Last weeks emotional apology
by Guillen was different, Rojas
says.
Ill tell you something about
Ozzie, Rojas says. As long as
Ive known him, he never before
felt sorry saying, Please forgive
me. This is the first time really
that he had to admit he was
wrong and made a mistake.
Lets get over with it and play
ball.
While the
Havana-born
Rojas is ready
to move on,
other Cuban
Americans may
not be. The ex-
tent of linger-
ing acrimony toward Guillen can
be gauged today, when the Mar-
lins manager returns froma five-
game suspension.
The team imposed the puni-
shment after comments by Guil-
lenpraisingFidel Castroangered
South Floridas Cuban exiles,
who happen to make up a large
chunk of the Marlins fan base.
The teams newballpark is locat-
ed in a neighborhood near down-
town known as Little Havana.
The Marlins will be braced for
possible group protests today,
but there were none over the
weekend, when the team played
at home for the first time since
the furor began. Some furious
fans pledgedtostay away, but an-
nounced attendance still exceed-
ed 30,000 for all three games.
Guillen has a history of pro-
fane, polarizing comments on
myriad subjects, but nothing he
said previously triggered such a
backlash. Rojas, a former major
league player who has known
Guillen for more than 20 years,
predicted the wrath of those of-
fended by the comments about
Castro will subside.
I hope they realize this is
done with, Rojas said. He
asked people to forgive him.
A shaken Guillen repeatedly
apologized at a news conference
last week, while about 100 peo-
ple protested on the ballpark pla-
za and demanded his dismissal.
Instead, only five games into his
tenure with the Marlins, Guillen
began a suspension.
Coincidentally, the former
Chicago White Sox manager will
return for a series against the
Chicago Cubs, making their lone
visit of the year to Miami. With
the Marlins off to a disappoint-
ing 4-6 start, his players are ea-
ger to get Guillen back.
He couldnt sleep for days be-
cause of this, said first baseman
Gaby Sanchez, whose parents
are Cuban exiles. It stinks, be-
cause he is a good person.
Hall of Famer Tony Perez, a
Marlins executive and native of
Cuba, said Guillens news confer-
ence helped soothe wounded
feelings. But he saidsome Cuban
Americans remain upset be-
cause they considered the sus-
pension insufficient puni-
shment.
People want to get Ozzie
fired, Perez said. A lot of peo-
ple think five days is not enough.
Everybody knows he did
wrong. Thats why he tried to
apologize to the people face to
face. I think thats one thing in
his favor. He didnt hide. He
came and faced everybody. That
was a good move.
A lot of people believe him. A
lot of people dont, and I dont
blame them, because a lot of peo-
ple here have been hurt by Cas-
tro for more than 50 years. When
something like that comes up,
with the new stadium opening
right here in Little Havana, thats
something people dont forget.
We have to live with that and see
if people will forget.

ATLANTAChipper Jones
said earlier this month at Citi
Field that he is probably the
most hatedvillaininNewYork,
next to former teammate John
Rocker.
A better comparison, based
on what hes done on the field,
is theNBAs ReggieMiller, who
tormented Knicks fans at Ma-
dison Square Garden much as
Jones did Mets fans at Shea
Stadium.
That would be pretty
good, Jones said. I didnt
have an argument with Spike
Lee throughout the years. I
didnt see Spike at too many
games.
The whole idea of being hon-
ored at Citi Field later this sea-
son was amusing to Jones
when he was told of the Mets
plan Monday.
A Mets official said that the
team would indeed acknowl-
edge Jones he is retiring af-
ter this season, his 19th with
the Braves but in an appro-
priate manner and assuredly
not with any on-field ceremo-
ny. TerryCollins believes it still
is the right thing to do.
I remember years ago,
(hockey player) Gordie Howe
one time said when theyre
booing you, they know who
you are, he said. Everybody
knows who Chipper Jones is
and we will certainly do some-
thing to honor him being a
great player not just be-
cause he beats up the Mets.
When asked how the Mets
should bid him adieu, Jones
smiled and said: It might be a
recording of all my plate ap-
pearances where they an-
nounce my name and the cho-
rus of boos raineddown. I dont
know. Like I said, Im not ex-
pectinganything. But anything
would be appreciated.
Jones did recount his most
famous run-in with the Shea
fans during the 1999 season,
when he noticed a fan behind
the dugout with a shirt that
was split with Mets and Yan-
kees logos. He thought the
Braves were in the process of
knocking the Mets out of the
playoffs instead they forced
a one-game playoff and beat
the Cincinnati Reds.
I told him, Now all the
Mets fans can go home and put
their Yankees stuff on not
knowing what a firestorm that
would light up. Then we end
up facing them in the (league
championship series). So that
one almost really came back to
biteme. It taught mea valuable
lesson. To keep my mouth
shut.
Chipper is
amused at
Mets plans
for honors
Team says it will find way
commemorate long-time
nemesis retirement.

did a good job with Lehman to-
day and were looking forward
to our match against Crest-
wood on Wednesday.
Wednesdays victor will be
one of two undefeated teams
left in the conference, joining
North Pocono (4-0). Redeemer
hosts the Trojans on May 3,
while North Pocono travels to
Crestwood on May16. In a tight
league in 2012, Tunkhannock
only has one loss.
I would say there is seven
teams right now that could on
any given night beat each oth-
er, Royals coach Jack Kablick
said. The league has so much
parity this year and I think its
great.
On Monday, the Royals re-
turning from an 11-day Easter
break were rusty in the first
game as the Black Knights were
close to handing Redeemer its
first individual game loss of the
season, holding a 16-15 lead.
But Redeemer overcame 10 to-
tal errors in the stanza to take
the lead.
Four different players from
Redeemer Mike Vamos, Jere-
my Myslowski, Brenden Lea-
highandWingert all produced
kills fromthat point inthe game
to push the score in their teams
favor and out of reach. Mike
Prociak notched 11 kills and
three blocks for Redeemer over-
all, while Myslowski totaled
nine kills, 19 assists and seven
service points. Leahigh
notched seven kills in the
match. Dylan Myslowski added
14 points.
Last year whenwe hadthe 6-
11 guy (Pete Alexis) we could
tell the other teamwho was get-
ting the set, Kablick noted.
But nowwe have Brenden Lea-
high, Mike Prociak, Mike Mor-
rison, Mike Vamos, Rob ...
Lake-Lehman stayed in the
first game largely due to great
defensive plays. Several times,
Redeemer players were going
for a kill, but a Lehman defend-
er was on his knees to save the
point and get a dig.
The Black Knights opened a
1-0 lead in the second and third
game, but those leads both
times quickly dissipated and
the Royals never looked back,
only totaling eight errors in the
last two games combined.
Kevin Masters contributed
five kills and three blocks for
the Black Knights, while Scott
Judson had three kills and five
blocks.
I thought Lehman played
pretty well, but we just kind of
wear people down, Kablick
added. We have so many hit-
ters coming from so many an-
gles and after a while you just
get tired of it.

did not make a position change, led off the
inning with a triple to right.
We needed to get something started,
Hooper said of the wholesale changes. We
came back playing 100 percent. I was pretty
impressed. I hope weve got something
here.
The Spartans got on the board with a pair
of runs in the fourth to stave off the mercy
rule, then scored four runs in the fifth inning
to make it 10-6 behindback-to-back run-scor-
ing doubles off the bats of Karlee Kioske and
Kymber Letteer.
Were much better than we showed to-
day, Hooper said. We had all one-run
games until Berwick. Its just been all down-
hill from there. But were coming off an 11-1
win over Northwest on Friday. Then we lose
today 16-6.
Pittston Area settled down from there, as
freshman Lauren Dragon did not allow an-
other hit while picking up her first varsity
win.

Results Reporting System) list,
got his name in another record
book. His toss was the eighth
all-time on the Division III list
for the new javelin dating back
to 1986.
I have to say the throw was
effortless, Zack said. Ive been
using my meets as measures
practice. My personal instruc-
tor (Bob Luciano) has me
trained to peak for the Penn
Relays, where I will be compet-
ing against my brother Aaron
(a freshman at the Naval Acad-
emy).
The 5-foot-10, 200-pounder is
also prepping for three up-
coming meets the Landmark
Conference Championship
(April 28-29 in Bethlehem), the
ECAC Division III Champion-
ship (May 17-18 in Troy, N.Y.)
and the NCAA Division III
Championship (May 24-26) in
Claremont, Calif. Hes the de-
fending champion in all three
meets.
Being the defending cham-
pion does have its pressure,
Zack said. But Im very confi-
dent in my technique and in my
coaching that I will only get
better as the season progresses.
Im working to peak at the
nationals.
BERKES ON A ROLL Se-
nior Scott Berkes (Berwick) is
hitting .297 for the Clarion
baseball team, but the 6-foot,
180-pound infielder has been on
target of late.
Berkes went 10-for-22 in six
games last week and jumped
his average 86 points. He had
three hits, two runs scored and
two RBI in a 12-7 triumph over
Bloomsburg. He has 27 hits in
91 at-bats with three doubles,
six RBI and 15 runs scored.
Playing second base, hes made
five errors on 107 chances
(.953).
Weve been able to move
Scott back to second base (his
natural position) this season
and he has been a key to both
our offense and defense, coach
Mike Brown said. Defensively,
he has been excellent and his
knowledge of that position is a
great asset to him.
Berkes has also served as a
pitcher for the Golden Eagles
in his four-year career.
Unfortunately, we havent
been able to use him as a pitch-
er this season, Brown said.
He had to have some surgery
on his right elbow which held
him out of the pre-season for
some time. He is a captain this
season and that is attributed to
his leadership skills and his
heart for the game.
DURLING LEADING THE
WAY The Misericordia base-
ball team is currently 26-5 and
leading the Freedom Confer-
ence with a 12-3 record and a
key performer for the Cougars
is junior Kenny Durling.
Durling (Wyoming Valley
West) is hitting .397 (46-
for-115) and leads the team in
doubles (16), home runs (five)
and RBI (39). Hes also second
in runs scored with 29 and in
the field has made just one
error on 58 chances (.983).
Kenny is one of the most
complete players in the confer-
ence, coach Pete Egbert said.
He is our best offensive weap-
on and is really swinging the
bat well the last few weeks.
Hes also a superb defensive
center fielder and has made
some outstanding plays.
Junior Andrew Tressa
Chris Sweeney hasnt be-
come one of the top hitters in
Division III baseball by using
magic or mirrors. The Kings
College junior has worked long
and hard to make himself a
hitter.
Sweeney (Crestwood) has
seen the hard work pay off. Hes
currently hitting .426 (43-
for-101) with nine doubles, a
triple and a team-high eight
home runs. He leads the Mon-
archs in runs scored (34) and
has 27 RBI. He was 7-for-13
with eight runs scored and four
RBI as Kings won two of three
against Wilkes last weekend.
One hit was a homer, which
gives him 26 for his career.
Ive worked very hard at
hitting since my sophomore
year in high school, Sweeney
said. I just wanted to get bet-
ter so I tried to go to the bat-
ting cage every day and Ive
been doing the same thing ever
since. Ive learned to take ad-
vantage of pitchers mistakes,
but the success really just
comes from hard work and the
desire to keep getting better.
The 6-foot-2 Sweeney
weighed in at 165 pounds as a
sophomore, but has added 15
pounds this season. Still, he
doesnt look like a home run
hitter.
Ive relied on my bat speed
and fundamentals of swinging
to hit the ball with power, he
said. I know Im not a big guy
so Ive practiced getting my
whole body involved in my
swing.
Kings coach Jerry Greeley,
who works with the Baltimore
Orioles as a coach during the
summer, doesnt hide his feel-
ing for Sweeney.
Chris is one of the best
players I have coached on and
off the field at the pro and colle-
giate level, he said. His work
ethic is second to none. He is
an outstanding leader for older
and younger players.
Greeley feels that Sweeney
has a future in pro baseball.
Chris has developed his
game to the point, that in my
opinion, he is a legitimate pro
prospect, he said. Hes
worked to the point where his
weaknesses of two years ago
are now his strengths.
Sweeney likes the idea of
going pro after he graduates,
but isnt thinking about that
now.
I play in the Cal Ripken
League in the summer and
hope to get some looks, but I
am mainly playing because I
like playing and competing.
There isnt a college player in
the country who wouldnt love
to get a shot at the next level
and Im no different.
The Monarchs, 11-17 overall
and 5-10 in the Freedom Con-
ference, are also getting solid
hitting from juniors Eric Bo-
hem of Stewartsville, N.J., Tim
Marchetti (Hazleton Area) and
Rob Lemoncelli (Pittston Ar-
ea). Bohem is hitting .434 (49-
for-113), Marchetti .413 (33-
for-80) and Lemoncelli .353
(42-for-119).
BIG EFFORT FOR AYERS
High Point freshman Reece
Ayers (Tunkhannock) captured
the 3,000 meter run at the
recent Duke Invitational in
Durham, N.C. He covered the
distance in a personal record
time of 8:46.59.
Reeces time at Duke was
somewhat deceiving in that he
wasnt really challenged and his
purpose was to win the race,
coach Mike Esposito said. He
will run the 10k at our confer-
ence meet.
The Big South Conference
Championships begin Thursday
in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Reece has really been com-
ing around in the last month,
Esposito said. He is fully
healthy and training very well.
Our plan is to keep him
healthy, continue to build up
his volume and let him grow
into the longer races. Hes will-
ing to do that. Hes a great kid.
NEW MARK FOR ZACK
Moravian senior Gary Zack
(Crestwood) captured the
javelin at last weekends Coach
P Open in Bethlehem with a
school and meet record toss of
226 feet, 6 inches (69.05 me-
ters).
Zack, who was already first
on the TFRRS (Track & Field
(Wyoming Valley West) is hit-
ting .282 (29-for-103) with five
doubles, two triples, 10 RBI and
a team-leading 33 runs scored.
Andrew is an outstanding
second baseman and a versatile
hitter, Egbert said. He always
seems to be in the middle of
every rally. Hes tough as nails
and is developing into one of
our team leaders.
Benefiting from all the hit-
ting is junior right-hander Evan
Robaczewski. Another Wyom-
ing Valley West grad, hes 8-0
with a 2.12 ERA and has three
complete games and a pair of
shutouts. In 51 innings, hes
given up 37 hits and 13 runs, 12
earned, and has walked 15 and
struck out 42.
Evan is a workhorse and has
earned the top spot in our
rotation, Egbert said. He
throws four pitches well with
good movement and location.
The team plays very confident-
ly when he is on the mound.
DUTZ ROWING FOR
DUKES Sophomore Regina
Dutz (Hazleton Area) is a
member of the Duquesne wom-
ens rowing team. Shes current-
ly rowing on the No. 2 varsity
eight boat.
This is Ginas second year
rowing and has made signif-
icant progress in her rowing
development this season,
coach Joe Setting said.
During the spring season, the
team was limited to its number
of days of practice (six) be-
cause of frequent flooding, so
Setting feels that her progress
has been even more remarka-
ble.
Gina is an athlete that any
coach would appreciate having
in the roster, Setting said.
She is a determined individual
that works tirelessly to get
better every practice. I also
view her as an emerging leader
on our team.
Dutz is also doing the job in
the classroom.
We are fortunate to have a
team GPA at 3.3 and Gina is at
3.62 overall, Setting said.
That is a remarkable GPA for a
young student studying bio-
chemistry.
SZPYNDA A BIG SHOT
Erica Szpynda (Berwick) is off
to a great start in her sopho-
more season competing for the
Widener womens track team.
Szpynda recently captured
the shot put at the Danny Cur-
ran Invitational in Chester with
a toss of 12.06 meters (39-7).
During the indoor season, she
finished second in the shot in
the ECAC Division III Cham-
pionships with a personal best
throw of 12.78 meters (41-11).
Erica has been putting to-
gether an excellent sophomore
year, coach Kevin Cunning-
ham said. She spent the sum-
mer and fall working back from
a shoulder injury that required
surgery and prevented her from
throwing for almost seven
months.
While her comeback is out-
standing, she wasnt able to
earn a berth in the NCAA Divi-
sion III Indoor Championships.
All she needed was another
.42 meters to punch her ticket
to the NCAAs this winter,
Cunningham said. But I have
high expectations for her this
outdoor season and I know if
she continues to work as hard
as she has been, she will make
a run at becoming an NCAA
All-American shot putter.

investment officer for aninterna-
tional bank was asked to re-
turn, the only male to remain in
the jury pool among those who
were individually screened on
the first day.
Another potential juror re-
called the 2008 hearing by say-
ing: At the time, I remember
thinking it didnt seem to be a
great use of taxpayer money,
but she was kept inthe pool after
she said she could be impartial.
Even if I dont agree with the
reason that youre brought be-
fore Congress, you still have to
tell the truth .... If you perjure
yourself before Congress, its
still illegal, said the woman,
who is an executive for an envi-
ronmental nonprofit organiza-
tion.
But another potential juror
was excused after she volun-
teered: I dont knowif thats the
best use of government tax dol-
lars at this time. She said her
feelings could influence her abil-
ity to serve.
Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin
even hinted that perhaps the de-
fense might challenge Congress
authority to call the hearing in
the first place, but U.S. District
Judge Reggie Waltonwas skepti-
cal of that line of questioning.
The judge reminded lawyers
again that some of the jurors
from the first trial felt a retrial
would be a waste of taxpayer
money, adding that one of the
hurdles in the case is that some
people think we have some sig-
nificant problems inthis country
that are not being addressed by
this Congress.
By the end of the day after
the proceedings had moved to a
smaller courtroomonly13po-
tential jurors had been screened
and just seven had been asked to
return Wednesday for more
screening. Clemens made about
$160millioninsalary andbonus-
es in his 24-year major league ca-
reer, but its safe to say hardly
anyof it camefromthethreeDis-
trict of Columbia residents all
African-American females
who made the cut after saying
they had never heard of him.
Imnot a fanof sports peri-
od, said one prospect, who
works as a cashier at a grocery
store.
As the clock was hitting 5
p.m., Walton called it a day and
chidedthelawyers over thedays
tedious pace: It doesnt help the
process to repeat what Ive al-
ready asked.
The retrial is expected to last
four to six weeks, with the first
several days devoted to finding
12jurors andfour alternates with
no preconceived opinion about
the case. The vetting process be-
gan with Walton taking more
thananhour toread86 yes-or-no
questions to the entire pool, in-
cluding Do you have any opin-
ions about Major League Base-
ball good, bad or whatever?
Lawyers on both sides read a
list of 104 people who could be
called as witnesses or whose
names could be mentioned dur-
ing the trial, including former
sluggers Barry Bonds and Jose
Canseco; baseball commission-
er Bud Selig; New York Yankees
general manager Brian Cash-
man; baseball writer Peter Gam-
mons; and former Clemens
teammates Paul ONeill, Jorge
Posada and Mike Stanton.
Perhaps the most important
name was Brian McNamee,
Clemens former strength train-
er, whosays heinjectedClemens
withsteroids andhumangrowth
hormone and says he kept used
needles that will be entered as
scientific evidence at trial.
Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin
stressed to the jury pool that not
all of those potential witnesses
would be called, or else they
wouldbehereabout twoyears.
Clemens, wearing a gray suit
with a stylish diagonal-pat-
terned tie, gave a warm hand-
shaketoacourt employeeherec-
ognized as he entered the cour-
troom. He read papers in a ma-
nila folder while waiting for the
proceedings to start and occa-
sionally took notes once jury se-
lection was under way.
Clemens faces a maximum
sentence of upto30years inpris-
on and a $1.5 million fine if con-
victed on all six charges. Maxi-
mum penalties are unlikely be-
cause Clemens doesnt have a
criminal record, but Walton
made plain at the first trial that
Clemens was at risk of going to
jail.
Under U.S. sentencing guide-
lines, he probably would face up
to 15 months to 21 months in
prison.
CLEMENS
BOSTON Trailing the leaders by 200 yards
when the Boston Marathon slogged through
Heartbreak Hill, Wesley Korir passedthemone by
one until he took the lead on his way out of Ken-
more Square.
Thats when leg cramps forced him to slow
down and relinquish the lead.
Its hot out there, in case you didnt know, he
told reporters after enduring temperatures in the
mid-80s to win the 116th Boston Marathon on
Monday. I knew it was going to be hot, and one
important thing that I had to take care of today ...
was really hydrate as much as possible. I guess my
biology degree kicked in a little bit.
Singing religious songs as he trudged along the
scorching pavement, the native Kenyan a per-
manent resident of theUnitedStates retookthe
lead from Levy Matebo in the final mile to cross
the finish line in 84.8-degree temperatures with a
time of 2 hours, 12 minutes, 40 seconds.
It was almost 10 minutes behind the world best
established here a year ago by Geoffrey Mutai and
the second-slowest Bostonvictorysince1985. Mu-
tai, who was hoping a repeat victory would earn
hima spot on the Kenyan Olympic team, dropped
out after 18 miles with stomach cramps.
Instead, it was Korir who may have won a ticket
to the London Games.
To me, I think running the Boston Marathon is
an Olympic event, he said. I dont care what
comes up after this, but Im really, really happy to
win Boston.
Sharon Cherop won the womens race to com-
plete the Kenyan sweep, outkicking Jemima Jela-
gat Sumgong to win by 2 seconds in 2:31:50. The
womens winner was decided by a sprint down
BoylstonStreet for the fifthconsecutive race all
of them decided by 3 seconds or less.
Cherop, who was also hoping to be selected for
the Kenyan Olympic team, was third at the world
championships and third in Boston last year.
This time around, I was really prepared, she
said. Last time the race went so fast and I didnt
know I was about to finish. I didnt know the
course well and I didnt know the finish line was
coming.
Matebo finished 26 seconds behind Korir, and
Bernard Kipyego was third as Kenyans swept the
podiuminbothgenders. JasonHartmann, of Boul-
der, Colo., was in fourth place and the top Amer-
ican.
The winners will receive $150,000 apiece. Korir
and his wife, Canadian runner Tarah McKay, run a
foundation in his hometown of Kitale and have
been building a hospital in the memory of his
brother Nicholas, who was killed by a black mam-
ba snake at the age of 10.
The heat slowedthe leaders andledtowarnings
that may have convinced as many as 4,300 no-
shows to sit this one out. Race organizers offered
those whopickeduptheir registrationpackets but
did not start the opportunity to save a place in
next years race.
The largely unprecedented offer was issued in
response to forecasts of high temperatures that
rose from 69 at the start to a high of 89 by mid-
afternoon.
Crowds at the Copley Square medical tent were
bigger than in previous years, with the smell of
sunscreen and the sound of ambulance sirens in
the air. Boston Athletic Association officials said
their medical staff was helping more people and
the busy period at the finish line medical tent ar-
rived later than usual.
A total of 22,426 runners started the race in
Hopkinton about 84 percent of the registered
field of 26,716 entrants. A total of 3,683 never col-
lected their bib numbers over the weekend. An-
other 427whopickeduptheir startingbibs didnot
show up at the start; they will be offered a chance
to run in 2013 instead.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. Dellin
Betances early struggles with
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees continued on Monday.
In the series-opener against
Rochester, the 6-foot-8 right-
hander surrendered five runs on
seven hits and four walks in just 4
2
3 innings as his ERA jumped to
10.38 through three outings. The
24-year-old, who also uncorked
two wild pitches, was hit with his
second loss of the season in a 5-3
setback to the Red Wings.
The game, which was the third
of theYankees first homestandof
the season but first in Rochester,
sawthe Red Wings get to Betanc-
es in the top of the second when
Matt Rizzotti laced a single to
right field to drive in a run for a
1-0 lead.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
evened the score 1-1 in the bot-
tom of the third when Colin Cur-
tis plated a run with a single to
knock in Kevin Russo. The Yan-
kees opened their first lead of the
game in the bottom of the fourth
whenRamiroPena homeredover
the left field fence. The two-run
shot, whichwas Penas first of the
season, gave the Yankees a 3-1ad-
vantage.
Betances, who danced in and
out of troubleduringthefirst four
innings but got help fromcatcher
Francisco Cervelli gunning down
two potential base stealers,
couldnt get out of a jam in the
fifth.
Thats when the Red Wings
plated four more runs. After Be-
tances got Darin Mastroianna on
strikes, the next three batters re-
ached base with one run scoring
to pull Rochester within 3-2.
The SWB pitcher then got the
secondout of theframeandcould
see his way out of another jam.
But a Matt Carson single tied the
score 3-3. Betances followedwith
a walk Joe Benson to load the
bases and was relieved by Manny
Delcarmen.
Delcarmen got the final out of
the inning, but not before giving
up a two-run single to Rizzotti as
Rochester took a 5-3 lead. Rizzot-
ti finished the game 2-for-5 with
three RBI.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre went
down easily in innings five
through eight before getting
within striking distance in the
bottom of the ninth.
After Jack Cust walked to be-
gin the frame, Ray Kruml reac-
hed on a fielders choice. Cervelli
doubledtoput runners onsecond
and third with two outs, but Pena
struck out to end the game.
Dewayne Wise, who was re-
placed by Kruml in center field in
the top of the sixth, ended the
game 2-for-2 for his fourth multi-
hit game this season and is cur-
rently batting .500 (13-for-26) on
the season.

WASHINGTONZdenoCha-
ra scored the tiebreaking goal
during 4-on-4 play with less than
2 minutes left, and the reigning
Stanley Cup champion Boston
Bruins finally solved playoff roo-
kie goalie Braden Holtby, beating
the Washington Capitals 4-3
Monday night to take a 2-1leadin
the first-round series.
Charas shot from the right cir-
cle appeared to get deflected on
its way past Holtby. The Bruins
captain also had two assists.
Tim Thomas, last seasons
playoff MVP, made 29 saves and
ignored the taunting from fans
who held up photos of President
Barack Obama, reminding Bos-
tons goaliethat heturneddowna
trip to the White House in Janu-
ary with his teammates.
Game 4 is Thursday in Wash-
ington. After that, the best-of-sev-
en Eastern Conference series
shifts back to Boston for Game 5
on Saturday.
Brian Rolston, Rich Peverley
and Daniel Paille also scored for
the Bruins.
Alex Ovechkin, Alexander
Semin and Brooks Laich got
Washingtons goals. Laich scored
on a breakaway with 6 minutes
left to make it 3-3, but Chara
came through with 1:53 remain-
ing for second-seeded Boston.
Holtby, who blocked 72 of 74
shots through the first two
games, was good but not great
Monday, making 25 saves.
The action was more free-flow-
ing than it had been in the series,
and perhaps the teams were due.
The Bruins ranked second in the
NHL during the regular season
with 269 goals, and no team had
more players with 20 goals than
Bostons six. The Capitals have
emphasized defense lately, but
they still boast talented forwards
such as Ovechkin, Semin and
Nicklas Backstrom.

Apple slump hits Nasdaq
Sinking shares of Apple pulled the
Nasdaq composite index lower Mon-
day. The tech leaders shares fell 4.2
percent, the fifth consecutive day of
declines. Apple accounts for 12 percent
of the Nasdaq, which ended down
more than 1 percent, while the Dow
Jones industrial average, which doesnt
include Apple, rose.
Apple has been on a charmed run for
the first three months of the year
thanks to the huge popularity of its
iPhones and iPads. From January
through March, the stock shot up 48
percent, to nearly $600 from $405, and
drove the Nasdaqs 19 percent rise.
Kim will head World Bank
Jim Yong Kim, an American who is
president of Dartmouth College, was
selected Monday to be
the next president of
the World Bank. Hell
succeed Robert Zoel-
lick, whos stepping
down after a five-year
term.
Developing nations
waged an unsuccessful
challenge to Kim, 52, a physician and
pioneer in treating HIV/AIDS and
tuberculosis in the developing world.
Kims selection marks a break from
previous World Bank leaders, who were
typically political, legal or economic
figures. The World Bank raises money
from its member nations and borrows
from investors to provide low-cost
loans to developing countries.
March retail sales rose
U.S. retail sales rose at a solid pace
last month, as a healthier job market
and warmer weather encouraged more
consumers to shop.
The Commerce Department said
Monday that retail sales rose 0.8 per-
cent in March. Thats below Februarys
1 percent increase but above Januarys
pace.
Some of the increase went to higher
gas prices.
Russian deal for Exxon
Exxon is teaming up with Russian oil
giant Rosneft to develop oil and natural
gas fields in Russia and North America,
granting Exxon access to some of the
worlds richest sources of crude oil and
other hydrocarbons in the Black Sea
and the Russian Arctic. In turn, Rosneft
will take ownership stakes in three
Exxon projects in the U.S. and Canada.

can be outdone with
enough funding. When
Google announced its
Google glasses now
known as Project Glass
-- they quickly released
a series of YouTube videos illustrating
the possible uses of their newest toy.
Put your specs on, look out the window
and see the temperature. Make appoint-
ments via voice command. The videos
are shot froma first-person perspective,
and showthe wearer starting his or her
morning doing all manner of useful
things without touching a smartphone
or a computer.
Spoofs quickly emerged highlighting
the pitfalls of this technology. Running
into people on the street because you
were paying attention to something
your glasses were trying to showyou.
Accidentally sending e-mails due to
imperfect voice-command technology
and so on.
The reality is likely to be somewhere
in between, but the amount of power
packed into a simple pair of glasses is
impressive, especially given its coming
very soon status. Not to be outdone, a
company called Innovega announced it
was working on a prototype for contact
lenses that match or exceed Google
glasses capability.
Tech companies make bold predic-
tions like this all the time, and they
dont always come true, but nowthe
government think-tank DARPA(the
Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency, a.k.a. the guys who really in-
vented the Internet and a whole bunch
of other stuff), has put in an order for
the prototype lenses, known as iOptik.
These lenses dont just project in-
formation in front of your eye like Goo-
gles glasses do instead they employ
multifocal technology. The center of
the lens contains the display, which
projects itself toward the middle of your
eye, while the outer part allows for a
normal field of view. This allows wear-
ers to focus on the display and the world
around themat the same time.
While the military usually gets its
hands on all the coolest toys years be-
fore the average civilian does, Innovega
hopes to clear all of the remaining hur-
dles, both medical and practical, to have
its lenses on the market by 2014, no
doubt with a hefty price tag attached.
For those of you eagerly awaiting a set
of Google glasses or Augmented Reality
Contact Lenses consider the follow-
ing: If youre prone to motion sickness,
just imagine what having a relatively
motionless image projected over a
constantly moving background will look
like. Its bound to cause problems for
some people, so have your Dramamine
handy.

Another tech company takes Google glasses concept up a notch

WASHINGTON Driven
by high gas prices and an un-
certain economy, Americans
are turning to trains and bus-
es to get around in greater
numbers than ever before.
But the aging transit systems
theyre riding face an $80 bil-
lion maintenance backlog
that jeopardizes service just
when its most in demand.
The number of transit trips
over a 12-month period will
likely set a new record later
this month or next, say Feder-
al Transit Administration offi-
cials. The current peak is 10.3
billion trips over a year, set in
December 2008.
But decades of deferred re-
pairs and modernization pro-
jects also have many transit
agencies scrambling to keep
trains and buses in operation.
The transit administration es-
timated in 2010 that it would
take $78 billion to get transit
systems into shape, and offi-
cials say the backlog has
grown since then. In some
places, workers search the In-
ternet for spare parts that are
no longer manufactured. In
others, trains operate using
equipment designed, literally,
in the horse-and-buggy era.
In Philadelphia, commu-
ters ride trains over rusty
steel bridges, some of them
dating back to the 19th centu-
ry. The SoutheasternPennsyl-
vania Transportation Author-
ity which operates subway,
trolley, bus andcommuter rail
systems is responsible for
346 bridges that are on aver-
age 80 years old.
A key power substation re-
lies on electrical equipment
manufactured in 1926.
Theres no hope for acquiring
spare parts, so workers try to
open the boxes housing the
equipment as infrequently as
possible to prevent damage
from exposure to the environ-
ment.
Were operating on a
prayer on that line, Joseph
Casey, the transportation au-
thoritys general manager,
said in an interview. If that
fails, half of our commuter rail
system would shut down.
The system carries 125,000
passengers on weekdays.

Transit systems struggling
SAN JOSE, Calif. After
months of legal wrangling be-
tween two Silicon Valley tech ti-
tans, attorneys for Oracle and
Google prepared to make their
opening statements to a San
Francisco federal court jury Mon-
day in a high-stakes battle over
the worlds leading smartphone
operating software.
Oracle is seeking nearly $1 bil-
lion in damages and an injunc-
tion that could force Google to
change the way it uses and dis-
tributes the popular Android op-
erating system. Oracle claims
Google used unauthorized co-
pies of Oracles Java software
tools to create the Android pro-
gram.
The two-month trial will fea-
ture testimony from a host of Sil-
icon Valley luminaries including
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, Goo-
gle cofounder and CEO Larry
Page and Google chairman Eric
Schmidt, who was chief technol-
ogy officer at Sun Microsystems
whenJava was created. Their tes-
timony could pull back the cur-
tain on matters that companies
usually keep secret, including in-
ternal discussions about the cre-
ation of a new system like An-
droid and its potential value.
Google lets smartphone-makers
use Android for free, but it col-
lects advertisingrevenue fromIn-
ternet searches conducted on
those devices.

Braces and clear plastic aligners
create new pockets that collect
food and bacteria, raising the
risk of cavities and ugly stains.
The best results occur when
patients become active partici-
pants during orthodontic treat-
ment, says Dr. William Harper, a
dentist in Poquoson, Va. His
tips:
Consider more cleanings. Seeing
a dentist every three or four
months compared to the usual
six months helps avoid gum
inflammation, bone damage and
pricey follow-up treatments.
Supplement regular brushing. At
home, follow brushing with an
electric water flosser. Also carry
small, disposable brushes or
picks Proxabrush or Soft-Picks
are popular brands in your
pocket or purse.
Invest in an electric toothbrush.
These are better at dislodging
food and bacteria from hard-to-
reach spots. Whatever type of
brush you use, be aware that
bristles will wear out more
quickly than normal from rub-
bing against wires.
Add fluoride. Extra bacteria cre-
ate a more acidic environment
in the mouth, a risk factor for
cavities and brown, gray or
white spots on teeth. Using
fluoride toothpaste and rinses
after meals will help keep your
enamel strong; prescription-
strength fluoride toothpastes
also are available.
Limit acidic drinks. These include
diet sodas, fruit juices and
sports or energy drinks.
Try hydrogen peroxide. Pharma-
cies often carry these mouth
rinses, designed to fight bacte-
rial inflammation and prevent
stains. Prescription bleaching
agents also can help in some
cases.
Avoid hard and chewy foods.
High on the list of items that
can damage braces: nuts, crusty
bread, caramel, licorice and
gum. Also dont chew on ice,
pencils or your fingernails.
Follow directions. Whether its
cleaning your teeth or wearing
retainers or rubber bands as
instructed, remember that your
orthodontist isnt bugging you
just trying to spare you future
troubles.

Q: For a long time, Ive
suffered fromterrible
sweating. Imnot over-
weight, amextremely
healthy and Imnot
taking any medica-
tions. What can you
recommend?
A: The first thing, which Imsure
youve already done, is to look for a pos-
sible cause. Youre healthy, but some
sufferers have an underlying medical
problemlike an overactive thyroid, meno-
pausal syndrome with hot flashes, per-
sistent anxiety, frequent lowblood sugar
reactions or simply too much body fat
that makes themsweat excessively.
You may be one of roughly1percent of
folks who simply sweats a lot. Have you
tried the prescription antiperspirant
Drysol for underarmsweating? For gener-
alized sweating, Robinul or Robinul Forte
might help. Its a drug to slowup a hyper-
active bowel, but it has a side effect of dry
mouth and decreased sweating.
Iontophoresis or electrophoresis can
provide temporary relief using a small 9
volt battery current to the palms and
soles. Botox injections provide six
months of relief for stubborn underarm
sweating, but its temporary. AnewFDA-
approved minimally-invasive highly-
effective treatment called miraDry uses
microwave heat to destroy the sweat
glands under the arm. It requires two
sessions, costs around $3,000, is poten-
tially permanent and is not currently
indicated for the treatment of hyperhidro-
sis in other areas of the body.
I wish I could say that the solution to
your problemis no sweat, but obviously
its not.
Q: Why are paper cuts so painful?
A: There are several reasons:
First of all, if you examine a ripped
piece of paper or cardboard youll notice
that its made frommany jagged fibers
that are held together as paper. That
creates a cut in the skin thats rough,
unlike the clean and precise cut of a razor
blade.
Second, there are lots of delicate senso-
ry nerve ending on the fingertips , unlike
other areas with far fewer nerve ending
like the skin on your back. That means
that any break in the skin, especially from
the rough cut of a piece of paper, is going
to hurt way out of proportion to the in-
jury sustained.
Third, there are chemicals used in the
process of making paper that make con-
tact with the exposed skin of a cut and
cause a chemical irritation. Paper cuts are
best treated with the application of an
antibacterial ointment, preferably one
that also has a pain relieving ingredient
(e.g. Neosporin Plus Pain Relief oint-
ment). Liquid bandage is another treat-
ment option after cleaning a paper cut.

ALLAS Kathy Krolikow-
ski of Frisco, Texas, suspect-
edsomething was wrong long be-
fore her doctors did.
Every time she said her body
ached, shewas toldshewas work-
ing too hard or not exercising
enough. It tookthree years before
she heard, just as she had sus-
pected, that she had the same au-
toimmune disorder that had af-
flicted her mother: rheumatoid
arthritis.
Autoimmune disease, which
disproportionately strikes wom-
en, is easy to miss, says Dr. Nee-
lay Gandhi, a family practitioner
onthe medical staff at Baylor Re-
gional Medical Center at Plano,
who took over Krolikowskis
care six months ago.
Thats because the general
symptoms of fatigue and achi-
ness are common, and autoim-
mune disease can take many
forms, including lupus, thyroid
disorders and multiple sclerosis,
he says.
In autoimmune disorders, an
immune system attacks the
healthy tissues it was designed
to protect. Getting an early diag-
nosis can be crucial because the
damage the disease causes gen-
erally can be stopped or slowed,
but not reversed. Krolikowski,
64, says thats why she advises
women to be persistent when
something feels wrong and to
find a doctor who will be atten-
tive to their concerns.
Sometimes its hard to keep
going in when you think, They
dont believe me. What am I go-
ing to do? she says.
Dr. Noel Rose, director of the
Johns Hopkins Center for Au-
toimmune Disease Research in
Baltimore, has spent decades ad-
vocating for increased recogni-
tion of autoimmune diseases,
which he says afflict an estimat-
ed 20 million Americans. Three-
fourths of those cases are wom-
en; the Office of Research on
Womens Health at the National
Institutes of Health describes it
as the underlying cause of more
than100 serious, chronic diseas-

UNDERSTANDING
AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS
By NANCY CHURNIN
The Dallas Morning News
See DISORDERS, Page 2C
The conversation started
this way: Working out does
suck. And its hard work.
Thats fitness expert Chuck
Runyon, whose book title
Working Out Sucks! im-
mediately caught my atten-
tion.
Finally, I thought,
heres an experi-
enced trainer
who says what
were all think-
ing.
Obviously,
Runyon doesnt
believe we should
stay stuck on the couch and
have another doughnut. Hes
a fitness guru, after all. But he
does offer common sense ad-
vice on how to place one foot
in front of the other on the
hard, tough road to feeling
and looking better.
And yes, it will require
working out.
He says that if
you exercise,
youthink bet-
ter, have
more energy,
are more pro-
ductive at
Exercise is hard, but its worth it

es, and it was cited in the Amer-
ican Journal of Public Health in
2000 as being one of the top 10
leading causes of death among
women 65 and younger.
The hope for cures lies in find-
ing the common roots for the dis-
eases that continue to be treated
ina scattershot way by a variety
of specialists as separate condi-
tions, says Rose, co-author of the
Encyclopedia of Autoimmune
Diseases (Facts on File, $75).
Rose would like to see autoim-
mune disease recognized as an
umbrella for these various condi-
tions, just as cancer is used to de-
scribe a wide array of diseases
with an underlying cause.
In fact, the more we under-
stand about autoimmune dis-
ease, the better we will under-
stand cancer because theyre op-
posite ends of the same problem,
he says. Cells are too quick to at-
tack healthy tissue in autoim-
mune disorders and too slow to
fight in cancer, allowing harmful
tissue to grow out of control.
Autoimmune diseases are rel-
atively common, and people
should be aware that theyre as
much a threat to their health as
cancer and heart disease, Rose
says.
Goodcommunicationbetween
doctor and patient can prove key
to navigating this disease, said
Dr. Benjamin Greenberg, a neu-
rologist and assistant professor
at UT Southwestern Medical
Center at Dallas. In neuromyeli-
tis optica, a rare autoimmune dis-
order that attacks the optic nerv-
es and spinal cord, he learned,
many patients reportedincidents
of vomiting or frequent hiccups
before the symptoms manifested
themselves. Nowwhenhe takes a
patients history, he asks about
hiccups and vomiting.
If they have this conditionand
youcatchit early, youcanprevent
them from losing their vision or
becoming quadriplegic, he says.
Elizabeth Brammer, 30, of Bur-
leson didnt have anyone around
to ask her questions like that
when she was11and began strug-
gling off and on with her eye-
sight. Her symptoms were dis-
missed at first as a plea for atten-
tionandwere later mistakenly di-
agnosed as multiple sclerosis.
Due to the lack of proper treat-
ment, she lost vision in one eye
while in college. She finally got
the correct diagnosis from a neu-
rologist in New York four years
ago. Since moving to Texas in
2010, she has been under the care
of Greenberg, who prescribes
regular, preventive immunosup-
pressive medications that have
prevented a flare-up, attack or re-
lapse during her pregnancy with
her twin boys. Gavin and Garri-
son turned 1 on March 24, and
she continues to be in remission.
For Brammer, finding out she
had neuromyelitis optica, or
NMO, came as a shock, a relief
and a vindication that she was
right to push her doctors into in-
vestigatingher case further for so
many years.
I was overwhelmed. I criedbe-
cause at least I had found a com-
pass as opposed to rolling around
in circles not knowing what to
thinkor what intheworldwas go-
ing on. Its terrifying that I have
NMO, but at least nowI amunder
the proper care.
DISORDERS
Continued from Page 1C
Lupus: The immune system creates an antibody that can damage any
part of the body, but most commonly the joints, skin, kidneys, heart and
lungs. Symptoms include fever, weight loss, hair loss, mouth sores,
fatigue, rashes, painful or swollen joints and muscles, sensitivity to the
sun, chest pain, headache, dizziness, seizure, memory problems and
behavior changes.
Rheumatoid arthritis: The immune system attacks the lining of the
joints, resulting in fatigue, fever, weight loss, eye inflammation, lung
disease, lumps of tissue under the elbows and anemia. Can lead to stiff,
swollen, deformed joints and reduced movement.
Multiple sclerosis: The immune system attacks the protective coating
around the nerves, damaging the brain and spinal cord and causing
trouble with coordination, balance, speaking and walking. It can ulti-
mately lead to numbness and tingling in arms, legs, hands and feet and
to tremors and paralysis.
Thyroid disease (two common forms):
Hashimotos disease (underactive thyroid): The immune system dam-
ages the thyroid gland, leading to decreased production of thyroid
hormone, resulting in fatigue, weakness, weight gain, sensitivity to cold,
muscle aches, stiff joints, facial swelling and constipation.
Graves disease (overactive thyroid): The immune system binds to
receptors in the thyroid gland and activates the gland to make too
much thyroid hormone, resulting in insomnia, irritability, weight loss,
heat sensitivity, sweating, brittle hair, muscle weakness, light menstrual
periods, bulging eyes and shaky hands.

Some tips fromRunyonandhis
book:
Start moving slowly. If youre
a sedentary person, if thats one-
tenth of a mile, great. Its like a
slow build. You dont need to
shock your system.
Broadcast your goals. Make
sure that people (friends and
family) know what youre trying
to accomplish. Enlist their help
and support.
Write down your goals. Ac-
countability is the magic ingre-
dient. If you write them down,
they exist. Now theyre real. Set
short- and long-term goals.
Find your motivation. Its not
about what the scale says. Is it for
your kids? To be a role model?
Maybe you want to be wealthy.
Healthy and fit workers make
more (money) than their un-
healthy, unfit co-workers.
Build in incentives perhaps
one day to eat a favorite dessert.
Take a rest day.

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

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: Im a
43-year-old veteran
of the grocery indus-
try. I am also an as-
sociate of one of the
premier supermar-
kets in the country,
and I disagree with
your response to Chicago Clipper
(Feb. 18)!
Coupons are a necessary evil and
are graciously accepted, but they
create an abundance of work for
retailers. It takes countless hours of
sorting, logging, filling out forms,
mailing and receiving to be reim-
bursed for the face value of the cou-
pon. This is hardly a benefit to the
grocer.
The abuse and fraud associated
with coupons adds up into millions
of dollars. When a customer leaves
one on a shelf for the next shopper,
it usually ends up on the floor. So
we now have a slick surface that
someone can slip on and fall. When
they are placed on an item in the
dairy or meat case, they inevitably
fall to the bottom and clog the
drains, which causes water backups
another safety hazard not to
mention its trash we must fish out.
All of this takes time and money
away from the associates perfor-
ming our duties in a very low-profit
industry.
By leaving an unwanted coupon on
a store shelf for the next customer,
Chicago Clipper is NOT paying it
forward. Shes adding to the prob-
lem. So, please, folks, keep your
coupons in your purse, wallet, pocket
or coupon book until you get to the
checkout line.
Florida Butcher
Dear Florida Butcher: Thank you
for pointing out to my readers and
me some of the problems coupons
may create. Your sentiments were
repeated by many retailers. How-
ever, other shoppers and retailers
offered suggestions that may help
to eliminate the problem, including:
coupon exchanges, donating them
to the military, posting them on
Freecycle, Craigslist or Facebook, etc.
Read on:
Dear Abby: I am a coupon user. I
am also a grocery store employee. I
constantly have to pick up coupons
left by customers who are paying it
forward or being generous. Not
only are they a safety hazard, but they
make our store look unkempt. We
pride ourselves in maintaining a high
standard of appearance. We actually
clean up more coupons than those we
redeem.
Why not hand the extra coupons
to your checker and ask that they
be offered to the next customer?
As for litterbugs who leave expired
coupons laying around, every check
stand is equipped with a garbage
can, and an employee will be more
than happy to throw out your trash
if you ask.
Store Manager in Montana
Dear Abby: I leave coupons for
others, but I often go one step
further. If I see someone with the
item in his or her cart, Ill offer
the coupon directly to that person.
So far, I have met pleasant people
who are happy to get a break at
the cash register. I have also met
people who have told me how de-
lighted they were to find coupons
on shelves.
Marie in Maine
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Extra coupons left on shelves can often cause more harm than good
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Someone is defending passion-
ately an argument they know
can be defeated. Dont take the
bait. This is a tricky game, and
its not worth your time to par-
ticipate in it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Do you
constantly edit yourself? It gets
exhausting after a while, doesnt
it? Thats why its such a tremen-
dous relief to be around people
who completely accept you for
who you are.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The
day features some silliness
and strange entertainment.
Just because someone is weird
doesnt mean they wont make a
stellar friend.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even
games that are usually fun can
turn quite dull if you know youre
going to win. Today, love will be a
game, too. It will be important to
get plenty of challenge into your
personal life.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You stay on
track by thinking in rather black-
and-white terms. Each decision
you make brings you either
closer or further away from your
goals. With every move, youll
ask yourself, Which is it?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youll do
as you intend to do. The success
or failure of your actions is irrel-
evant. Whats important is that
you follow through, honoring
your strong convictions. Action
increases your confidence.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll use
language in a way that expands,
guides and directs peoples
actions and feelings. Youll say
I love you and send a persons
mood to the highest stars.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As you
go about your day, note that not
everything should be compared.
Because two things are next to
each other doesnt mean theres
a logical intrinsic relationship
between those two things.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Someone is trying to sell you,
and youll feel the squeeze. The
thing about marketers is that if
they cant identify a need, they
manufacture a demand.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If
your eyes are closed, you can fall
upon the very thing youve been
searching for and not see it.
Youll pinch yourself metaphori-
cally to make sure that all of
your senses are awake.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There
are smart people at the core of
your circle. If youre wondering
who, its because you havent yet
met some of these people. New
friends are attracted to your
high integrity level.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A situ-
ation is not what you thought it
would be. You may let go of all
of your hard preparation in favor
of being present with what the
moment needs. You can do this
because you are truly confident.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (April 17).
This year youll be energized
by the same challenges that
used to stop you in your tracks.
Youll employ new skills, and
your game just keeps improv-
ing. Youll focus on your loved
ones needs, connecting with
them on deep levels. Enjoyable
work fills your summer. Leo and
Sagittarius people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 20, 10,
40, 39 and 18.
