Today, just over a third of U.S.
adults are obese. By 2030, 42 per-

Monday.
Thats not nearly as many as ex-

Luzerne County Manager
Robert Lawton picked Chief En-
gineer Joe Gibbons to be in com-
mand if hes unable to fulfill his
duties.
The countys home rule char-
ter requires the manager to des-
ignate an executive branch em-
ployee as acting county manager
in case the manager is suspend-
ed, temporarily absent, incapac-
itated or unable to serve. The
designation does not come with
additional compensation.
Gibbons, 40, of Plains Town-
ship, is praised by many of his
colleagues for his thriftiness,
work ethic andcandor oncounty
issues.
In a letter about the selection
filedMonday inthe county coun-
cil clerks office, Lawton said the
11-year county employee is qual-
ified to take charge if necessary.
Gibbons was hired as a staff
engineer in 2001, promoted to
assistant chief county engineer
in 2005 and became chief engi-
neer in 2007.
Mr. Gibbons range of respon-
sibility during his county service
far exceeds the expected scope
of his title, Lawton said.
He cited Gibbons oversight of
county buildings and infrastruc-
ture, development of leases and
requests-for-proposals, input on
collective bargaining teams,
planning of the capital budget
and service as a member of the
emergency response team.
A graduate of Coughlin High
School and the Pennsylvania
State University, Gibbons prior
work experience includes engi-
neering positions with Virginia-
Current chief Robert Lawton
says county engineer well
qualified to do job if needed.

Most local colleges have set
tuition rates for 2012-13 that
boost tuition at a higher per-
centage than in recent years.
All but one of the increases
exceed the national inflation
rate of 2.65 percent, which was
last posted in March.
After averaging a 3.9 percent
tuition rate increase over the
past three years, Kings Col-
lege is the only institution of
higher education in Lackawan-
na, Wyoming or Luzerne coun-
ties that has boosted tuition up
at least 5 percent.
With a 2012-13 tuition rate of
$29,174, it reflects a 5.4 per-
cent hike over the current aca-
demic year rate. Thats more
than double the national rate
of inflation.
The schools board of trust-
ees met Saturday to discuss a
multimillion-dollar shortfall in
the 2012-13 budget that may
mean a wage freeze for staff
and lower financial aid re-
wards for incoming students.
Those financial aid rewards,
an amount taken out of the col-
leges budget resources to pro-
vide students with lower out-
of-pocket costs for tuition, are

The wall was a popular feature

Kingston officials denied that
the wall was taken down for that

FAIRVIEW TWP. -- Supervi-
sors on Monday night an-
nounced that Woodcrest Avenue
is to be widened but remain a
two-way thoroughfare in prepa-
ration for a proposed 28-home
development to be built on ex-
tensions of Woodcrest and Lee
avenues.
Last month, at an information-
al meeting, the supervisors re-
viewed road-widening plans that
were to restrict Woodcrest to a
one-way street.
After getting strong feedback
from residents, Chairman Rob-
ert Orloski said supervisors de-
cided to keep the road as it is,
widening it 8 feet to handle in-
creased traffic to the newhomes.
Based on the pleas and com-
ments of residents in the area
we feel it is in(our) best interests
to honor the residents wishes at
this time, Orloski said.
David Yefko, the townships
engineer, said both roadways are
to be widened on one side be-
cause splittingthe distance onei-
ther side is structurally and eco-
nomically unsound.
He said running thin strips of
road on both sides would decay
faster and require more mainte-
nance. A single, wider path on
one side could prevent prema-
ture decay. He also said plans
have not been solidified.
Residents were concerned
that the expansion would creep
into their front yards.
Joanne Dinoski, who lives
along Lee Avenue, asked if they
should expect to lose property
frontage.
Orloski said the township
would be stretching the road on-
ly as far as the public right of
Woodcrest Ave. will be widened
Fairview Twp. officials say it
will remain a two-way for
home development.

BEAR CREEK TWP. -- The
plight of township property own-
ers facing high sewer fees re-
mains very much on the mind of
township supervisors, but appar-
ently isnt generating much sym-
pathy from those in a position to
do anything about the cost of the
state-mandated sewage treat-
ment plan.
OnMonday, the supervisors of-
feredareport onarecent meeting
with the state Department of En-
vironmental Protection, which is
mandatingsewers for a portionof
the township. The supervisors
voted down the mandated plan
earlier this year because the cost
wouldbe undue burdenonhome-
owners. Estimates place the
monthly cost for those onthe sys-
tem at $145, a cost supervisors
said could be the highest in the
state.
Board Chairman Gary Zinga-
retti said DEP suggested the
township look into extending the
sewers into other areas to spread
out the costs, something the su-
pervisors dont think would help.
We are highly skeptical that
woulddoanythingbut raise costs
because we are already working
withthe areas of highest (popula-
tion) density, Zingaretti said.
DEP also said the townships
estimates of available grant fund-
ingwere unrealistically high, Zin-
garetti said, while the initial $500
connection fee the township was
planning on collecting was too
low. In response to audience
questions, the board said that if
the township doesnt move for-
ward with the sewers, DEP will
come in and do them and the
costs will almost certainly be
even higher.
Zingaretti said the supervisors
will meet again with DEP, but
will also meet with legislators to
try to come to a resolution.
Money issues dominated the
meeting in other ways as the su-
pervisors discussed options for
replacing a 16-year-old dump
truck used for snow plowing and
for doing repairs to Weiss Road,
whichwill require significant cul-
vert repair before a badly needed
paving work can be done.
The board discussed not re-
placing the truck or buying a
smaller truckinsteadof spending
the nearly $160,000toreplace the
plow, but learned the large bed of
the dump truck might be needed
toholdenoughsalt andcinders to
reach the farthest parts of the
township. Options under consid-
eration include a used truck and
coordinatingservices withneigh-
boring communities to avoid the
need for a truck altogether.
The township is considering
having its own road crew tackle
the culvert work on Weiss Road,
which will cost an estimated
$20,000 to $25,000 on top of the
estimated $940,000 to tar and
chip the road. But some concerns
were raised about how the road
crews regular work would get
done during the estimated two
weeks it would take to do the job,
and whether it might not be bet-

PLYMOUTH TWP. -- The

According to township Solic-
itor Robert Zarota, the ordinance
is an update to ensure that the
newEPAregulations are included
in the townships current ordi-
nance.
Inanother matter, thetownship
passed a measure to purchase the
Coal Street Bridge for $10,900.
Thebridge, whichthetownship
has been renting, was severely
damaged by the July 3 storm.
PennDOT will replace the
bridge with a permanent one, but
this action will take approximate-
ly two years to complete.
Supervisor CouncilwomanGail
Conrad said there are about 200
residents whose homes are affect-
ed by the Coal Street Bridge and
that the township cannot leave
themwithout access.
Conrad said that once Penn-
DOTs new bridge is completed,
the township will sell the old one
and get its money back. Conrad
said the company fromwhich the
townshipis purchasingthe bridge
may buy it back or it will be put
up for sale.

rolled several times at about 9:10 p.m.
Medina was ejected from the vehicle,

WILKES-BARRE Attorneys for
homicide suspect Hugo Selenski have
filed court papers requesting the charg-
es against their client be thrown out
and that prosecutors not be permitted
to seek the death penalty.
Attorneys Shelley Centini, Edward
Rymsza and David Lampman, in hun-
dreds of pages of court filings Monday,
asked a county judge to rule on the re-
quests inpreparationfor Selenskis Sep-
tember trial.
Selenski, 38, is facing the death pen-
alty if convicted in the
deaths of Tammy Fas-
sett and Michael Ker-
kowski, bothof whom
were 37 when they
died. Investigators al-
lege Selenski killed
Fassett and Kerkow-
ski on May 3, 2002.
Judge Fred Pierantoni has set Selen-
skis trial to begin on Sept. 10.
The attorneys have asked Pierantoni
to not allow prosecutors to seek the
death penalty against Selenski because
they have not shown or established
enoughproof toestablisha capital case.
The aggravating circumstances,
Selenskis attorneys said, violate the
cruel andunusual punishment clause of
the U.S. Constitution and impairs the
right to trial by jury.
The attorneys also ask that charges
against their client be dismissed be-
cause Selenski was originally charged
with the killings in March 2006, and
that more than six years have passed
since the date of the filing of the charg-
es.
That, the attorneys said, is a violation
of Selenskis speedy trial right, which
requires prosecutors to bring a defend-
ant to trial within 365 days of being
charged.
It is patently unfair to require (Se-
lenski) tonowmarshal a defense toalle-
gations relating to events occurring
more than 10 years ago when the com-
monwealth could have, and should
have, brought the charges earlier, the
attorneys wrote.
If the case goes to trial, the defense
contends two separate juries should be
chosen in Selenskis case one for the

JACKSON TWP. A resignation of a full-
time police officer has township officials ex-
ploring the possibility of entering a contract
for police services from a neighboring munici-
pality.
Supervisor Vice-Chairman Al Fox said the
exploration is only a study with no decision
being made to disband the township police of-
fice.
One of our full-time police officers resigned
on Jan. 1 to take another position outside law
enforcement, Fox said. What the supervisors
decided was to investigate what is best for the
township to do at this point and time.
The resignation left the force with three full-
time and nine part-time officers to provide
24/7 coverage for more than 4,600 residents
within 13 square miles. Fox said there is about
30 miles of roads in the township.
A state prison, State Correctional Institu-
tion at Dallas, is located in the township.
Police expenditures are about $256,000 of
the townships $1.03 million budget for 2012.

DENNISON TWP. The only
way in and out of White Haven Po-
conos in Bear Creek Township is
Weiss Road, a pothole-scarred
roadway that is in dire need of re-
placement, says resident Frank
Martino.
Filling in hundreds of potholes
along the 1-mile road or total re-
surfacing with newasphalt simply
wont do, Martinobelieves.
Hesaidsections of theroadbase
needtobestrengthenedbecauseof
erosion, and stormsewers need to
be replaced.
To make matters more compli-
cated, the road is in Dennison
Township but maintained by Bear
Creek Township under a1998 con-
tract signed by officials from the
twomunicipalities.
Bear Creek Township Supervi-
sor Gary Zingaretti saidit will cost
$940,000 to completely refurbish
WeissRoad. Anattempt tosecurea
grant through gaming revenue for
the road failed in March when
morethan$12.2millionwasaward-
ed to 19 other projects in Luzerne
County, including $235,000 to
Wilkes-Barre to improve exterior
appearances of 50 private houses
alongthe citys gateway streets.
Bear Creek Township Supervi-
sor Joseph Masi said the supervi-
sors plan to resubmit the applica-
tionfor a gaminggrant next year.
Martino said heavy rain from
Hurricane Irene inlate August and
Tropical Storm Lee in early Sep-
tember made things worse for
Weiss Road, which has been dete-
riorating from undersized storm
drains built inthe1930s that are ei-
ther blockedwithleaves or are col-
lapsing.
Many motorists who travel
Weiss Road to reach their perma-
nent or summer homes in White
Haven Poconos often drive in the
middle of the road to avoid pot-
holes.
I hate to say it, but I ride the
middle. I know its dangerous, but
many people who live here do to
avoidthe potholes, Martinosaid.
Martino believes Dennison
Townshipdoes not want totakere-
sponsibility for Weiss Road be-
cause there is no tax revenue from
the road to justify repairs or re-
placement. There are nohouses or
businesses alongWeiss Road.
Martino also believes Bear Creek
Township does not consider Weiss
Road a priority because the road is
ownedbyDennisonTownship.
Dennison Township Supervi-
sors BruceThomas, SheilaWeaver
and Michael Mack did not return
messages for comment on Friday
andMonday.
Zingaretti and Masi said the
township has spent $700,000 over
thelastfiveyearstoresurfaceroads
inWhite HavenPoconos.
Bear Creek Township is 70
square miles, and from where our
trucks are parked, its a 20-minute
ride just tosnowplow, Masi said.
Masi said its difficult for Bear
CreekTownshipsupervisorstojus-
tifypaying$900,000for a roadthat
is inanother municipality.
Were trying to walk a fine line
here, Masi said. We take care of
our residents the best we can, but

threshold, thenyouhavesomeresi-
dentsinotherpartsofthetownship

The state is looking at $102
million in cuts statewide, Patti
said. Medicaid is 80 percent of
our total funding. Were already
underfunded; these cuts would
onlymakethings worsetough-
er to operate.
According to Alison Delsite
Everett, director of communica-
tions andpublic affairs at the PA
Health Care Association, care-
givers fromnearly every county
in the commonwealth will be in
Harrisburg today to talk with
statelegislatorsabout thedirefi-
nancial situation confronting
Pennsylvanias nursing homes
and to ask legislators to restore
the4percent Medicaidcut includ-
edintheproposedstatebudgetfor
nursing homes.
The caregivers will give legisla-
tors a copy of a petition signed by
more than 11,500 nursing home
residents, families, staff and con-
cerned citizens. The petition calls
on legislators to preserve care for
the elderly by restoring the Medi-
caidfunds.
Everett said that because of re-
cent Medicare cuts, nursing
homes have laid off workers, re-
duced benefits, canceled renova-
tions and delayed the purchase of
equipment that couldenhancepa-
tient care.
With another 4 percent cut at
the state level, many nursing
homes say they will have no
choice but to turn away some se-
niors on Medicaid because they
simply cant afford to care for
them, she said.
Caregivers from Guardian El-
der CareCenter inNanticokealso
are attending the rally.
These potential state funding
cuts are among the most impor-
tant issues facing our facility, our
residents and all Pennsylvania
nursing homes, said Louise Be-
kisz, administrator at Guardian
Its inspiring to see so many peo-
ple take a stand for our most vul-
nerable residents. This is an im-
portant cause, andI thinkwereall
hopeful this hugeshowof support

tential and devastating impact of

Supervisors John J. Wilkes
Jr. and Thomas Tim Evans
could not be reached for com-
ment on Monday.
All three supervisors
signed a letter dated April 10
that was sent to neighboring
municipalities indicating
their interest to explore the
possibility of entering a con-
tract for police services.
Fox said it is too early to
say if any municipality has re-
sponded.
Other police contractual
agreements in Luzerne Coun-
ty are Laflin police providing
services for Yatesville and
Nanticoke police patrolling
Warrior Run.
According to the 2010 state
police Uniform Crime Re-
port, the latest report avail-
able, there were 11 larcenies,
two burglaries and one as-
sault in Jackson Township.
Other reported crimes in
2010 were 16 liquor viola-
tions, 12 drunken driving ar-
rests, seven narcotic arrests,
and three disorderly con-
ducts.

new line above ground, with
shut-off valves at each lateral
line incase more problems de-
velop when full pressure is re-
storedwiththe newline. Salij-
kosaidthis wouldallowwater

trouble develops without
shutting off the flow every-
where.
Salijko also reported the ar-
tificial turf at Memorial Stadi-
um at Meyers has separated
along some seams, and that the
installer, FieldTurf Tarkett, has
agreed to repair it at no cost.
Among numerous items up for
vote Wednesday, the board will
consider approving an anaphy-
lactic Reaction/Epipen policy.
An Epipen is a single-dose, auto-
matic injection device to admin-
ister epinephrine to shoes suffer-
ing from anaphylactic shock,
which can induce life-threaten-
ing swelling of the airways. Peo-
ple who knowthey are subject to
such reactions often carry Epi-
pens for emergencies.
Board Member Lynn Evans,
who drives bus for Williams Bus
Line, the company contracted to
handle most of the districts
transportation, asked if the poli-
cy applies to bus drivers. Namey
said if a life is at risk, anyone able
to probably should administer
the epinephrine if available, but
added have the policy clarified.

American pleads for life
A
n American aid worker kidnapped
last year by al-Qaida militants in
Pakistan has made an impassioned
video appeal to President Barack Oba-
ma to save his life.
Warren Weinstein, 70, abducted by a
squad of armed men from his home in
the eastern city of Lahore in August,
begged Obama to meet his captors
demands in the video released by al-
Qaidas media arm the first footage
of Weinstein to surface since his cap-
ture.
The video whose recording date
was unclear followed an audio re-
cording released in December in which
al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri ac-
knowledged holding Weinstein and
demanded that the United States end
airstrikes against his group and release
its prisoners being held in American
jails.
In Washington, White House spokes-
man Jay Carney said that the White
House was greatly concerned for Mr.
Weinsteins safety and his well-being
and called for his immediate release,
but he said, We cannot and will not
negotiate with al-Qaida.

Recall decision comes today
The leading Democratic candidates
in the race to take on Wisconsin Gov.
Scott Walker in a historic recall elec-
tion made their final pitches to voters
Monday, touting their records while
steering clear of any last-minute at-
tacks on each other or the first-term
Republican governor.
Walker, who faces only token opposi-
tion in Tuesdays primary, wasnt cam-
paigning Monday. He had a full slate of
events today, culminating with a
speech to party faithful in a Republican
stronghold near Milwaukee.
The general election is June 5.
Walker has emerged as a national
conservative hero since his successful
push to end nearly all collective bar-
gaining rights for most state workers.
WASHINGTON
GOP plan funds Pentagon
Moving to protect the military from
a crippling wave of budget cuts next
year, a key House committee voted
Monday to cut instead food aid, health
care and social services like Meals on
Wheels.
The measure would require federal
employees to contribute more to their
pensions, saving taxpayers more than
$80 billion over the coming decade,
while illegal immigrants would be
denied tax refunds from the $1,000
per-child tax credit. Theres no com-
panion legislation moving in the Demo-
cratic-controlled Senate, and the pro-
posal doesnt stand a chance of making
it to President Barack Obamas desk for
signature.

WASHINGTON With six months
until Election Day, the race between
President Barack Obama andMitt Rom-
ney has tightened into a statistical dead
heat.
Two newpolls findthat while the can-
didates aretiedfor overall support, Oba-
ma remains the more well-liked candi-
date and Romney is considered the
more apt at handling the economy.
Romney edged Obama, 48 percent to
47percent, inthePolitico-GeorgeWash-
ington University Battleground Poll, a
nationwide survey of 1,000 voters con-
ductedlast weekby the Republicanfirm
the Tarrance Group andthe Democratic
firm Lake Research Partners. Obama
bested Romney, 47 percent to 45 per-
cent, in a Gallup Swing States Poll,
which surveyed 951registered voters in
12 swing states last week.
In each case, the results were within
the margin of error, meaning the candi-
dates are statistically tied. Politicos
February poll had Obama leading Rom-
ney by 9 percentage points. The Swing
State survey had Obama with a 9 per-
centage-point lead in late March.
Meanwhile, Gallups five-day aver-
age, which showed Obama with a slight
46 percent to 45 percent lead last week,
has flipped in favor of Romney.
In the newPolitico poll, 43 percent of
all respondents said they will vote to re-
elect Obama in November, 42 percent
saidthey will vote toreplace him, and11
percent said they will consider voting
for someone besides Obama.
The poll found Romney with a signif-
icant 48 percent to 38 percent lead
among independents, and a 6 percent-
age-point lead among voters who say
they are extremely likely to vote in
November.
Yet while 70 percent said they ap-
prove of Obama as a person 56 per-

WASHINGTON (AP) Rick Santorum is endorsing his one-time bitter rival Mitt Rom-
ney in a late-night e-mail to his supporters.
Santorum on Monday urged his supporters to join him in working with the effective
Republican nominee to deny President Barack Obama a second term. In his message,
Santorum reminded his supporters of areas where he disagreed with Romney during
their slog of a primary.
Yet Santorum says that, in his words, above all else, we both agree that President
Obama must be defeated.
The two met on Friday at the office of Santorums strategist, and Romney sought to
assure Santorum of his conservative credentials.

WASHINGTON The CIA
thwartedanambitious plot byal-
Qaidas affiliate in Yemen to de-
stroy a U.S.-bound airliner using
a bombwitha sophisticatednew
designaroundthe one-year anni-
versary of the killing of Osama
binLaden, The AssociatedPress
has learned.
The plot involved an upgrade
of the underwear bomb that
failedtodetonate aboarda jetlin-
er over Detroit on Christmas
2009. This new bomb was also
designed to be used in a passen-
gers underwear, but witha more
refined detonation system, U.S.
officials said.
The FBI is examining the lat-
est bomb to see whether it could
have passed through airport se-
curity and brought down an air-
plane, officials said. They said
the device didnot containmetal,
meaning it probably could have
passedthrougha metal detector.
But it was not clear whether new
body scanners used in many air-
ports would have detected it.
The would-be suicide bomber,
based in Yemen, had not yet
picked a target or bought a plane
ticket when the CIA stepped in
and seized the bomb, officials
said. Its not clear what hap-
pened to the alleged bomber.
White House spokeswoman
Caitlin Hayden said President
Barack Obama learned about
the plot in April and was assured
the device posed no threat to the
public.
The operation unfolded even
as the White House and Depart-
ment of Homeland Security as-
sured the public that they knew
of no al-Qaida plots against the
U.S. around the anniversary of
bin Ladens death. The oper-
ation was carried out over the
past few weeks, officials said.
The AP learned about the
thwarted plot last week but
agreed to White House and CIA
requests not to publish it imme-
diately because the sensitive in-
telligence operation was still un-
der way. Once officials said
those concerns were allayed, the
AP decided to disclose the plot
Monday despite requests from
the administration to wait for an
official announcement today.

PARIS The day after Francois Hol-
lande rode to power in France on a slogan
of change now, the conversation in Eu-
rope is already different: Austerity has be-
come a dirty word.
Greek parties who reject the extreme
belt-tightening that comes with interna-
tional bailouts were the big winners in
parliamentary elections there. German
voters in a northern state ousted the coa-
lition led by Chancellor Angela Merkels
conservative party, whichhas pressedthe
case for austerity.
And France, of course, elected Hol-
lande, its first Socialist president in more
than a decade and one who has promised
stimulus spending.
Austerity cannolonger be inevitable!
he shouted in his first speech after Nico-
las Sarkozy conceded Sunday night. The
question remains whether Germany
agrees and will allow at least some
countries in the eurozone to spend more
freely.
That raft of elections Sunday unsettled
markets, which sunk in Greece, fell
across Europe and then pulled back amid
some bargain hunting. Frances borrow-
ing costs rose initially and Germanys fell
anindicationthat investors are pulling
back into the safe haven offered by Ger-
man debt. The 17-nation euro spiraled to
a three-month low Monday against the
dollar, hitting $1.2972 before traders
sniffed a bargain and pushed it higher.
Much of the negative reaction was fo-
cused on Greece, where voters did make
one thing clear: The political parties that
backed the bailouts lost their majority in
Parliament. That opens upthe possibility
that Greeces new leaders could renege
on commitments made to secure the
countrys massive rescue loans. The con-
servatives will try to put together a new
government, but theres a good chance
they could fail and that would usher in
another month of financial chaos before
new elections.
Merkel pressed Greek leaders to stay
the course.
Of course the most important thing is
that the programs we agreed with Greece
are continued, she said Monday.
Any pivot from the fiscal compact that
insisted on massive budget cuts across
the17 nations who use the euro will have
big implications for Europe and the
world. The pact, while not perfect, did
calm markets for a time. Some fear the
new political wave could usher in more
turmoil, opening the wound of Europes
debt crisis andfurther threateningtheail-
ing eurozone economy.
Eight of the17 eurozone nations are al-
ready in recession and unemployment
across the bloc rose to 10.9 percent in
March its highest ever.
If investors pull backfromEuropeamid
uncertainty, growth policies will have
trouble making headway. Continued
slow or no growth in Europe will also
drag on the global economy.

WASHINGTONArmy investigators
said Monday they found no bullet wound
nor evidence of foul play in the death of a
soldier in Afghanistan who died during a
Skype video chat with his wife.
Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark collapsed
while speaking to his wife on May 1 from
his base in Tarin Kot, Afghanistan, south-
west of Kabul. His wife, Susan Orellana-
Clark, has suggested that Clark was shot,
citing a hole visible in the closet behind
him that she believed was a bullet hole.
Investigators said an initial probe
showed no trauma to the body except
that Clark broke his nose when he fell for-
ward. Orellana-Clark said he didnt seem
alarmed before he collapsed.
Christopher Grey, a spokesman for the
Army Criminal Investigation Command,
said Monday that the investigation is still
under way.
But the important thing is that there
was no bullet wound, no trauma, except
that Clarks nose was possibly broken
when he fell on his desk, Grey said in a
telephone interview.
We can positively say that Captain
Clark was not shot, Grey later said in a
statement.
An autopsy was done Friday but it
could take several weeks to get results of
toxicology and tissue testing done at that
time, Paul Stone, a spokesman for the
Armed Forces Medical Examiner, said.
Clarks family released a statement
Sunday describing what his wife saw in
the video feed recording her husbands
death.
The closet behind him had a bullet
hole in it, the statement said, adding
that others, including a military member
who came to Orellana-Clarks Texas
home, also believed it was a bullet hole.

anticipated that fees in regard to
pavement cuts will be increased at
the next meeting.
Borough Secretary Gene Brez-
nay saidthese ordinances have not
been changed to reflect increasing
costs to the borough in more than
20 years and the increase was nec-
essary.
In another matter, Onzik said
the borough was taking applica-
tions for a full-time positionwithin
the street department.
He said applications would also
be taken from college students for
part-time summer positions.
In another matter, Angelo Gras-
so of Maltby Avenue askedcouncil

jury hears both phases.
The attorneys also request
that if Selenski were to testify
onhis ownbehalf at the penalty
phase of the trial, prosecutors
be excluded from questioning
him in a cross-examination.
Selenskis attorneys also ask
that prosecutors be precluded
from presenting certain evi-
dence, including: Selenski be-
inga future danger; showingju-
rors post-mortemphotographs;
evidence of human skeletal re-
mains; mentioning Selenskis
alleged drug use and/or distri-
bution; mentioning Selenskis
incarceration in federal prison
where he met his one-time co-
defendant Paul Weakley,
among others.
The attorneys also ask that
they be allowed to thoroughly
question jurors due to exten-
sivepretrial publicity, andthat
evidenceseizedfromSelenskis
cell in 2009 be immediately re-
turned to him, as it pertains to
his defense.
That evidence includes, the
attorneys said, a handwritten
notebook that includes poten-
tial witnesses, notes andphoto-
graphs.
Other evidence, Selenskis
attorneys said, should be
thrown out because it was tak-
en in an illegal seizure fromthe
home of a paralegal, Janna De-
Santo, who was assisting Se-
lenski inhis cases, or was taken
illegally from Selenskis home.
Prosecutors, theattorneys al-

they seized items from DeSan-

Countrys young adults
will learn nothing is free
I
watch in amazement as our president
parades around our country campaign-
ing at college campuses to standing
ovations while promising freebies to all.
I heard him talking about college loan
interest rates going up, but then he fails to
tell the young adults that the extra money
collected will go to fund the free Obama
health care bill.
Recently he was preaching about his
Buffett Rule and tax hikes on the rich.
Although a favorite topic within his party,
he fails to mention that these tax hikes
would generate around $4.8 billion. That
amount would cover roughly one 24-hour
period of Washington deficit spending.
Yes, that means Washington borrows $4.8
billion a day spending that our countrys
young adults will have to cover for the rest
of their lives.
I find it hard to believe that with all the
money being spent on our countrys educa-
tional system, our young adults are not
taught that nothing is free in this world.
Somebody will end up having to foot the
bill. Our young adults are the ones who
will have to work hard and end up paying
more and more out of their paychecks
every month for all these free things
these politicians promise today so they can
be re-elected.
Young people have to wake up and de-
mand Washington fix Social Security,
which they pay into now but from which
they will never benefit.
They need to demand drastic spending
cuts so they dont end up footing the bill
their entire lives to make up for these
free programs Washington offers. And
next time you hear the word free come
out of a politicians mouth, dont believe a
word he or she says.

THE STATE Legislature
needs to do what any suc-
cessful business would do:
conduct a thorough cost/
benefit analysis of State
Employees Retirement
System (SERS) and the
Public School Employees Retirement Sys-
tem (PSERS) from the perspective of Penn-
sylvanias taxpayers.
To date, the focus of the Legislature has
been entirely on the costs of the pension
systems or, more accurately, the fear of what
those costs could be to taxpayers in the
future. There has been limited mention of
the benefits that these systems provide for
all Pennsylvania citizens and the conse-
quences to our economy and the welfare of
all Pennsylvanians if the retirement systems
for public employees would be eliminated.
It is important to understand that the
average annual pension amount that retired
public school employees receives is roughly
$24,000, and retired state employees receive
on average $24,500 hardly the exorbitant
sums often reported in the news media. It
also is important to understand what we do
with our pensions. Very simply, we spend
our monthly allotments to pay living ex-
penses, just as those who are working use
their paychecks to pay theirs. Certainly, we
receive our pensions, but in reality they flow
through us and into the economy, thereby
benefiting all businesses in Pennsylvania
and their employees. Annually, nearly $8
billion is flowing through us into Pennsylva-
nias economy, which is six to seven times
the amount that taxpayers are contributing
to maintain these systems.
Another factor thus far ignored in the
debate over public employee pension plans
concerns the systems investments. Does
anyone know how much the public employ-
ee retirement systems invest in businesses
that employ substantial numbers of state
residents? Businesses need capital to in-
novate, expand and create more jobs. The
public employee retirement systems invest a
substantial portion of their more than $75
billion in Pennsylvania businesses. Could
they invest more and create additional jobs
in our state? We believe they can.
The state House of Representatives has
before it a resolution, HR 649, that would
direct the unbiased, bipartisan Joint State
Government Commission to conduct a
thorough economic impact study of both
statewide public employee retirement sys-
tems, PSERS and SERS. The study would
cost the state no additional funds to com-
plete. More important, the study would
provide taxpayers and their Harrisburg
representatives with the facts they need to
consider before making any further changes
to the retirement systems.
There is a reason the Legislature has
established and maintained these retirement
systems for the past 95 years. It has nothing
to do with greed or the power of public
employee organizations. The truth is that
these systems benefit all Pennsylvanians
more than they cost its taxpayers. They are
a vital part of Pennsylvanias economy.
It remains to be seen whether the Legisla-
ture is really interested in doing what is best
for Pennsylvanias taxpayers or simply con-
tinuing to bash public employees and the
benefits they receive. Passage of HR 649 this
month would do much to restore confidence
in the current legislators, if they are con-
cerned about the economy and the welfare
of all commonwealth citizens.
Stephen M. Vak is president of the Pennsylvania
Association of School Retirees. Founded in 1937, the
association is a voluntary membership organiza-
tion consisting of nearly 50,000 retired teachers,
administrators and school support personnel. The
associations mission is to serve others in need and
help one another enjoy retirement.
Benefits of public employee pension plans outweigh costs

TS PROM SEASON, and
that means its time for
teens to make memories,
and for parents to send a
memorable message to their
children please play it safe.
Fortunately, there are new
tools in place this year to rein-
force the message to young peo-
pleabout theimportanceof driv-
ing safely to and from the prom
and other end-of-school festivi-
ties. Those tools are Pennsylva-
nias ban on texting while driv-
ing and Laceys Law, which
limits the number of passengers
in a car with a junior driver.
Pennsylvanias texting ban,
whichwent intoeffect onMarch
11, requires drivers of all ages to
stop their vehicles before com-
posing, sending or receiving
text messages. Violating the law
is a primary offense, meaning
that you can be cited for texting
and driving even if you dont
break another law.
Therearemanyopportunities
for parents and teens to talk
about prombefore the bignight.
Surelytheresroomfor aremind-
er not to text and drive.
Parents also should be aware
that Laceys Law went into ef-
fect on Dec. 26. Drivers younger
than 18 cant transport more
thanone nonfamily member un-
der 18, unless theres a parent or
legal guardian in the car, for the
first sixmonths that thedriver is
licensed.
Drive safely.

OTHER OPINION: DRIVER SAFETY
Prom prime time
for texting talk
A
FTER AN especially
galling situation
comes to light, most
of us have heard or
maybe uttered this refrain:
There should be a law!
The phrase usually flies with
an exclamation point firmly at-
tached, but rarely any political
connotation. For example, you
probably never demanded after
seeing a motorist execute an
egregious driving maneuver
that there should be a Demo-
cratic law. Or, for that matter,
there should be Re-
publican law.
After all, solving
societys troubles in a
swift and sensible
manner shouldbe the
domain of all our elected offi-
cials regardless of party affilia-
tion, right?
Sorry.
Thats not the way state gov-
ernment operates today, not in
Harrisburg where certain law-
makers put party loyalty above
doing effective work on behalf
of the people.
Witness, for instance, the
GOP-controlled Senates stone-
walling of a bill introduced by
state Rep. Phyllis Mundy, the
Kingston Democrat. She and
staffers drewup a proposed law
inresponsetoLuzerneCountys
2009 kids-for-cash scandal,
which called for expanding the
duties of the states Juvenile
Court Judges Commission.
The would-be laws intent: En-
sure data is collected and re-
viewedthat couldhelptoidenti-
fy trends, and potential prob-
lems, within Pennsylvanias ju-
venile courts. Sounds
reasonable, eh?
The state Senate, however,
failed to take up the measure.
Until, that is, a bill mirroring
Mundys proposal was put for-
ward two years later by state
Rep. Tarah Toohil, a Hazleton-
area resident and a Republican.
Mundy acknowledged this
type of tomfoolery isnt restrict-
ed to one party; some Demo-
crats did the same when they
heldtheadvantage. Shecalledit
reprehensible behavior and
raised the reason why every
state taxpayer of any political
stripe should be
bothered by it.
Said Mundy, We
worked hard to
draft that legisla-
tion, and it is a
waste of resources.
Pennsylvanias government
cannot afford, nor should it be
permitted, to squander tax-
payers dollars on anything, cer-
tainly not unnecessary duplica-
tionof labor tosuit thewhims of
a partisan agenda.
State taxpayers already con-
tribute far too much money
about $300 million to support
a bloated General Assembly
and its bevy of worker bees.
Eachof the states 203 represen-
tatives gets paid at least
$82,000, plus benefits, in ex-
change for supposedly provid-
ing full-time service to constitu-
ents.
For that kind of money,
shouldnt you and others across
the commonwealth expect
timely resolutions to serious
problems and top-notch ac-
countability?
Why should you pay for polit-
ical gamesmanship?
There should be a law!
OUR OPINION: STATE GOVT
Partisan tricks
should be a crime
Why should you
pay for political
gamesmanship?

While beingoverweight increases any-
ones risk of diabetes, heart disease anda
host of other ailments, theseverelyobese
are most at risk and the most expen-
sive to treat. Already, conservative esti-
mates suggest obesity-related problems
account for at least 9 percent of the na-
tions yearly health spending, or $150 bil-
liona year.
Data presented Monday at a major
CDCmeetingpaintsomethingof amixed
pictureof theobesitybattle. Theressome
progress: Clearly, the skyrocketing rises
inobesityrates of the1980s and90s have
ended. But Americansarent gettingthin-
ner.
Over the past decade, obesity rates
stayed about the same in women, while
menexperiencedasmall rise, saidCDCs
Cynthia Ogden. That increase occurred
mostlyinhigher-incomemen, forreasons
researchers couldnt explain.
About 17 percent of the nations chil-
dren and teens were obese in 2009 and
2010, the latest available data. Thats
about the same as at the beginningof the
decade, although a closer look by Ogden
shows continuedsmall increases inboys,
especiallyAfrican-Americanboys.
Doesthat meanobesityhasplateaued?
Well, some larger CDC databases show
continued upticks, said Duke University
health economist Eric Finkelstein, who
led the new CDC-funded forecast. His
study used that information along with
other factors that influence obesity rates
including food prices, prevalence of
fast-food restaurants, unemployment
tocomeupwithwhat hecalledveryrea-
sonable estimates for the next two dec-
ades.
Part of the reason for the continuing
rise is that the populationis growingand
aging. Peopleages45to64aremostlikely
tobeobese, Finkelsteinsaid.
Today, morethan78millionU.S. adults
are obese, definedas havinga body-mass
index of 30 or more. BMI is a measure of
weight for height. Someone whos 5-
feet-5 would be termed obese at 180
pounds, andseverelyobesewithaBMI of
40240pounds.
The new forecast suggests 32 million
morepeoplecouldbeobesein2030add-
ing $550 billion in health spending over
that timespan, Finkelsteinsaid.
If nothingis done, this is goingtoreally
hinder effortstocontrol healthcarecosts,
added study co-author Justin Trogdon of
RTI International.

The depth and breadth of Mr. Gib-
bons experience and training well pre-
pare himto fulfill the functions, Lawton
saidinthe letter tocouncil. I ampleased
to have himas part of the countys senior
management team.
Gibbons said he and Lawton spent
many hours, often after county business
time, discussing county projects, servic-
es and opportunities for efficiencies and
new revenue.
He said Lawton has an ability to apply
business sense to county government to
ensure the continuation of important
and necessary services.
Its caused me to have a lot of opti-
mism moving forward with the services
we provide for the county residents,
Gibbons said. Im really honored that
Bob thinks so highly of me.
Gibbons said he wants to continue us-
ing his skills to help his home county.
Its especially humbling for me to
have the opportunity to modernize Lu-
zerne County and to hopefully make it
better than it ever has been and a model
for other governmental entities inthis re-
gion, he said.
A Wilkes-Barre native, Gibbons has
two children Kayley, 13, and Joseph, 11
and is married to Kimberly Tokach. He
is the son of Wilkes-Barre residents Jo-
seph and Gloria Gibbons.
Lawton has made one other personnel
selection since he started working as
county manager Feb. 29, naming Allen-
town resident Vic Mazziotti as interim
budget/finance chief on March 19.
Lawtonhas saidhe wantedto research
options fully before selecting permanent
division heads.
The manager must select the heads of
eight divisions created under the new
home rule government. The charter
gives the manager the power to desig-
nate qualified people to serve as tempo-
rary division heads for up to 90 days.
A majority of the 11-member county
council must approve the managers per-
manent division head nominees.
About 175 people, including some ex-
istingemployees, appliedfor theeight di-
vision head posts before home rule took
effect in January. Lawton may hire from
that pool or re-advertise.
The divisions: administrative, oper-
ational, correctional, human and bud-
get/financial services, judicial services
and records, solicitor and public defend-
er.

at the heart of whats projected
to be a $4.5 million operating
loss for the upcoming fiscal
year. That follows a $2 million
operating loss this current fis-
cal year and a $1 million oper-
ating loss the previous fiscal
year.
The Rev. John Ryan, presi-
dent of Kings, noted the finan-
cial issues plaguing the school
in a statement issued Monday
regarding the tuition increase.
During the past three years,
the net tuition paid by our stu-
dents has actually decreased.
Gross tuition increases of be-
low 4 percent were more than
offset by increases in college-
funded financial aid. This is
clearly an unsustainable trend.
I and the colleges board of di-
rectors feel that this years tui-
tion increase, in light of previ-
ous assistance to our students
during the worst of the finan-
cial recession, is necessary and
reasonable, he said.
Misericordia up 4.8 %
The largest freshmen class
ever expected at Misericordia
University this fall will pay
$25,890 in tuition. At 4.8 per-
cent, its the greatest increase
the Dallas Township schools
board of trustees has approved
since the 2008-09 academic
year when tuition rose 5.5.
Like many of our sister in-
stitutions, Misericordias costs
continue to increase. For in-
stance, health care costs went
up 11.7 percent for the new aca-
demic year, said Michael A.
MacDowell, Misericordia presi-
dent.
He noted that the campus
has added staff and built new
facilities. They include a $7
million, 118-bed residence hall
under construction and new
recreational and athletic facili-
ties. Kings and Wilkes are also
in the midst of multimillion-
dollar construction projects
that factor into tuition rates.
Misericordia has kept in-
creases at or below 4 percent
the past three academic years,
but at 4.8 percent, it could be
the second largest increase of
all the local colleges.
LCCC increase likely
Even though Luzerne County
Community Colleges board
isnt set to set rates until its
June 12 meeting, the schools
president, Thomas P. Leary,
said an increase is likely. It
would be the first increase at
the Nanticoke-based school
since the 2009-10 academic
year.
The Penn State University
system will set its fall rates
sometime this summer for its
main campus and branch cam-
puses in Sugarloaf Township,
Lehman Township and Dun-
more.
The only other colleges local-
ly that have set tuition to jump
at least 4 percent are Baptist Bi-
ble College in Clarks Summit
and Wilkes University.
Baptist Bible raised its tui-
tion to $17,770, a 4.3 percent in-
crease over the current aca-
demic year. Wilkes in Wilkes-
Barre is increasing tuition 4
percent to $27,908.
One other school was hun-
dredths of a percentage point
away from that 4 percent plat-
eau.
The University of Scranton is
increasing its tuition rates 3.96
percent to $37,106. Scrantons
remains the highest tuition rate
of any of the 13 colleges in the
tri-county area.
The increase of 3.9 percent at
Scranton is the lowest tuition
increase on record, said Stan
Zygmunt, school spokesman.
Despite cost increases in
health care, utilities and tech-
nology that outpace inflation,
the university has focused on
keeping tuition increases as
low as possible, Zygmunt said.
We have reallocated and re-
duced costs across campus,
while managing to increase
funding for financial aid and
make substantial investments
in educational resources to en-
sure a transformational educa-
tional experience for our stu-
dents.
Keystone College in La
Plume is raising tuition 3.8 per-
cent to $19,500. Thats the
highest percentage increase in
at least four years.
Marywood University in
Dunmore is raising tuition 3.7
percent to $28,000.
The lowest increase will be
realized by Johnson College
students. The Scranton techni-
cal and trades school set tuition
at $15,500, a 1 percent increase.
This is the lowest rate the
college has had in some time,
said Melissa Ide, Johnsons vice
president of enrollment servic-
es. We felt it important to re-
spond to the concerns we are
hearing from students and
their parents and to the eco-
nomic environment.
Melanie Mickelson, Wilkes
vice president for enrollment
services, echoed those senti-
ments as a factor in setting the
rate at her school.

venslawfirm, hasadmittedshemadebill-
ing errors, but said the mistakes were an
oversight. In February she hired the ac-
counting firm of Forensic Resolutions of
New Jersey to conduct a forensic audit.
She vowed to reimburse the county for
any overpayments.
Controller Walter GriffithsaidStevens
provided a copy of the audit to him and
County Manager Robert Lawton on Fri-
day.
DeLucadeniedTheTimes Leaders re-
quest to reviewthe audit based on an ex-
ception within the Right to Know Law
that allows a government body to deny
access to any record relating to a non-
criminal investigation, includinginvesti-
gative materials, notes, correspondence
andreports.
If you release pieces of an investiga-
tionwithout havingtheentirematter out
in public, you run the risk of creating a
false impression that is unfair to some-
one, DeLuca said.
Griffith said he believes the audit
should be released because taxpayer
money was used to pay Stevens. He de-
clinedtoreveal specificfindingsintheau-
dit, but said it generally confirms infor-
mationthe newspaper already reported.
Everyone knows she overbilled the
county. Theaudit just confirms what was
uncovered by The Times Leader, Grif-
fithsaid.
DeLuca said he understands there is
strong public interest in the audits find-
ings, but he felt compelledtodenythe re-
questoutof concernsthecountymightbe
suedif he releases the report.
I dont knowtowhat extent wecanre-
lease it without getting the county into
trouble,DeLucasaid. Shepaidforitand
she provided to us. It indicates its confi-
dential.
The county initially planned to hire an
auditingfirmtoperforma forensic audit.
It received four proposals, but, in the in-
terest of saving money, opted to hold off
pending the receipt of the audit Stevens
commissioned.
DeLuca said no decision has been
made regarding whether the county will
still obtain its own audit. He said he did
not see any major issues with the audit
providedby Stevens.
Its not like we got a copy of the audit
and said, Oh, you gotta be kidding me,
DeLuca said. Its very comprehensive
andprofessionally done.
Joe Butkiewicz, executive editor for
The Times Leader, said the newspaper
will appeal the decision to the states Of-
fice of OpenRecords.
I questionthe countyholdingbackon
this because Stevens paidfor the audit; it
doesnt seemto me to be a part of any in-
vestigating the county is doing, But-
kiewicz said.
We think transparency is essential.
The public has a right to knowwhats go-
ing on, he said.
Althoughhehasdeclinedtoreleasethe
audit, DeLuca said the public will be
made aware of any action the county
takes based on the findings in the report,
including any reimbursements Stevens
might make.
If she ends uppaying something back
that certainly wouldbe public, he said.
Stevens is currently under investiga-
tionbytheDisciplinaryBoardof thestate
Supreme Court, which investigates al-
leged wrongdoing by attorneys. Luzerne
County District Attorney Stefanie Sala-
vantis has saidshealsomayopenacrimi-
nal investigation, dependent uponthe re-
sults of the forensic audit.

vens attorney today to determine if he
has permission to release the audit to
those investigating agencies.

WILKES-BARRE Northwest planned
on making a name for itself at districts.
With a young roster, low numbers and a
rebuilding program, Rangers track and field
teams were certainly better suited for the
bigger meets.
The Rangers have emerged as one of the
Wyoming Valley Conferences top track
teams ahead of schedule. The Northwest
boys teamunexpectedlyheads intoWednes-
days meet against Nanticoke witha share of
the Division 2 title on the line.
Meanwhile, the Northwest girls captured
Saturdays James Cross Wilkes-Barre Invita-
tional team championship. The Rangers
edged Hanover Area by a six-point margin
to take the crown.
It makes me really proud, Northwest ju-
nior Amanda Jimcosky said. It seems like,
lately, weve got a lot of athletes that really
started to get personal records.
The real secret to Northwests recent suc-
cess rests on the legs of its youth. Freshman
Tyler Burger knocked off defending district
champion Connor Flaherty, of Coughlin,
with a high jump of 6-2 at the Wilkes-Barre
Invitational. Burger also medaled in the 110
hurdles (second) and the long jump (third).

that consists of just one senior. FRED ADAMS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

That didnt matter, either.

One game away from being eliminat-
ed from the playoffs, the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins find themselves in a
place that isnt unfamiliar.
Alittle more thana week ago the Pen-
guins found themselves on the brink of
elimination, battling the Hershey Bears
in Game 5 of the first round of the post-
season.
The Penguins won the game and sent
Hershey home, but they learned some
lessons fromthe Bears, who were down
2-0 in the series and battled back with
their playoff lives on the line.
Its a good learning experience be-
cause you know how to react when
youre in that spot, Penguins forward
Bryan Lerg said.
Down 3-1 in the best-of-7 series
against the St. Johns IceCaps, the Pen-
guins again face elimination at home in
Game5tonight. HeadcoachJohnHynes
is hoping his team remembers the way
Hershey battled back when it was in the
sameposition, andhehopestheurgency
that came withplayinga do-or-die game
is still fresh in the Penguins minds.

Hynes said. We had a lead, we saw a

Lamont Peterson at +$400; in the WBO
welterweight title fight on June 9 in Las

Well another Kentucky Derby has come and gone, with a ton of
excitement and yet another great finish. Judging by the fast fractions
set by Bodemeister and the shorter distance of the Preakness, look
for himto once again be the wagering favorite when the second jewel
of the triple crowntakes place at PimlicoRacecourse. I certainly hope
so, because I thinkIll Have Another canbeat himagain. It shouldbe a
whole lot of fun in just 11 short days in Maryland.

PHILADELPHIA Jordany
Valdespin had a pinch-hit
three-run homer off Jonathan
Papelbon in the ninth inning
for his first major league hit,
leading the New York Mets to
a 5-2 victory over the Phila-
delphia Phillies on Monday
night.
David Wright hit a tying
two-run double off David
Wright in the sixth, and New
York won its third straight
game.
The injury-plagued Mets
placed shortstop Ruben Teja-
da on the disabled list before
the game and saw catcher
Josh Thole go out after get-
ting elbowed in the head
during a collision at the plate.
Valdespin, called up to re-
place Tejada, was 0 for 6
before hitting a drive way out
to right off Papelbon (0-1).
Tim Byrdak (1-0) retired the
only batter he faced to get the
win. He struck out pinch-
hitter Eric Kratz to end the
eighth with a runner on third.
Marlins 4, Astros 0
HOUSTON Carlos Zam-
brano pitched a three-hitter
for his first win of the season
and Giancarlo Stanton extend-
ed his hitting streak to 10
games with a two-run homer,
leading the Miami Marlins to
their seventh straight win
with a victory over the Hous-
ton Astros.
Stantons homer into the
Crawford Boxes in left field
put Miami up 2-0 in the
fourth inning and gives him
six home runs and 12 RBI
during his streak. Logan Mor-
rison walked with one out
before Stanton went deep.
Cubs 5, Braves 1
CHICAGO Jeff Samard-
zija allowed five hits and a
run over seven strong innings,
and Bryan LaHair, Ian Stewart
and Geovany Soto each home-
red to lead the Chicago Cubs
over the Atlanta Braves.
Samardzija (4-1) gave up a
solo homer to Jason Heyward
in the second inning, walked
two and struck out seven in a
105-pitch outing to help the
Cubs win for the third time in
four games.
LaHair drove Tommy Han-
sons first pitch of the bottom
of the fourth high over the
right field wall for his eighth
homer of the season. One
pitch later, Stewart connected
on his third also to right
to make it 2-1.
Reds 6, Brewers 1
MILWAUKEE Jay Bruce
hit a three-run home run and
Bronson Arroyo pitched solid-
ly into the seventh inning,
leading the Cincinnati Reds to
a victory over the Milwaukee
Brewers.
Bruces ninth home run
capped a five-run fourth in-
ning off Marco Estrada (0-2).
It extended his hitting streak
to 10 games and Bruce is
batting .405 (15 for 37) with
six home runs and 12 RBIs
during the run.

BALTIMORE Brandon
Snyder homered and had a
career-high six RBIs against his
former team, and the Texas
Rangers beat Baltimore 14-3
Monday night to end the
Orioles five-game winning
streak.
Snyder, the Orioles top draft
choice in 2005, hit a two-run
single in the second inning, a
three-run drive in the sixth and
an RBI single during a seven-
run ninth. He played in only 16
games with Baltimore before
the Rangers got him for cash
considerations in January.
Texas starter Matt Harrison
(4-2) gave up three runs, six
hits and a walk in seven in-
nings.
Indians 8, White Sox 6
CLEVELAND Shelley
Duncans RBI double in the
eighth inning gave the Cleve-
land Indians a soggy 3-2 win
over the Chicago White Sox
and a sweep of their day-night
doubleheader.
Duncan ripped a pitch from
left-hander Matt Thornton
(1-2) into the left-field corner,
scoring Asdrubal Cabrera.
The first-place Indians won
the opener 8-6.
The White Sox have lost six
of seven.
Clevelands Josh Tomlin
allowed five hits in 7

most of the final three in a

out a career-high eight, al-

mound.
Angels 8, Twins 3
MINNEAPOLIS Jered
Weaver allowed three hits over
six innings in his first start
since no-hitting the Twins last
week to lead the Los Angeles
Angels to a victory over Minne-
sota.
Weaver (5-0) gave up one
run with two walks and two
strikeouts and Alberto Call-
aspo had a homer and three
RBIs for the Angels, who have
won six of eight as they try to
climb out of the cellar in the
AL West.
Red Sox 11, Royals 5
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Will
Middlebrooks homered down
each of the lines, David Ortiz
and Dustin Pedroia also went
deep, and the Boston Red Sox
pounded the Kansas City Roy-
als to snap a five-game losing
streak.
Middlebrooks, called up last
week when Kevin Youkilis
went on the disabled list, hit a
three-run shot in the first in-
ning and a two-run homer in
the eighth, becoming the first
player in Red Sox history with
at least one extra-base hit in
each of his first four major
league games.

thinksome people are kindof get-

But I think unfortunately the
leagues protecting certain play-

school, prestigious way of base-
ball.
Harper got the last word,
though. When Hamels made a
pickoff tofirst, Harper stolehome
for the first swipe of his eight-
game big league career.
In the third inning, Nationals
starter Jordan Zimmermann hit
Hamelsintheleft legwithoneout

Phillies pitcher squared to bunt.
Home plate umpire Andy Fletch-
er warnedbothdugouts.
Nationals general manager
Mike Rizzo told The Washington
Post that Hamels hitting Harper
with a pitch was classless and
gutless.
According to the newspapers
website, Rizzo also said: Cole
Hamels says hes old school? Hes
the polar opposite of old school.
Hes faketough. Hethinks hes go-
ing to intimidate us after hitting
our19-year-oldrookiewhos eight
games into the big leagues? He
doesnt know who hes dealing
with.
Phillies manager Charlie Man-
uel said he wished Hamels
wouldnt have been so forthcom-
ing withhis comments.
I wish he had been a little bit
more, what do you call it, not so
honest, or dishonest, or discreet,
that might be the right word,
Manuel said in a radio interview
on the teams flagship station.

SUDBURY, Mass. The
suburban Boston home where
Babe Ruth lived after he had
been sent to the NewYork Yan-
kees is for sale, and the asking
price is more than Ruth made
in his entire playing career.
The estate known as Home
Plate Farm in Sudbury, Mass.,
is on the market for $1.65 mil-
lion.
Ruth, who for decades held
the major league career home
runrecordwith714, livedinthe
home from 1922 to 1926, ac-
cording to broker Scott Adam-
son, of Coldwell Banker Resi-
dential brokerage.
This is a great old antique
house, Adamson said Mon-
day, estimatingthe home dates
to about 1800. Its got a ton of
modern features, but I think
Babe Ruth would still recog-
nize it even today because it re-
tains many of the original fea-
tures.
Ruth played for the Red Sox
from 1914 to 1919, for the Yan-
kees from1920 to 1934 and for
the Braves in 1935. In his 22-
year career, he earnedless than
$911,000 total, according to
baseball-reference.com.
The former home run king is
still a major draw among col-
lectors and baseball buffs: An
Iowa familys collection of
baseballs signed by Ruth just
before he died recently sold at
auction for more than
$200,000.
The 5,000-square-foot, five-
bedroom, 3 1/2-bathroom
homeonatwo-acreplot has un-
dergone extensive renovations
since the 1920s, including a
chefs dreamkitchen, richly de-
tailed family room, a sunny
master suite with vaulted ceil-
ings and more, the listing
says.
But some of Ruths personal
touches remain. One room
even has burn marks on the
floor where Ruthis saidtohave
flicked his cigar ashes, Adam-
son said.
The property also includes a
5,000-square-foot barn with
stables, office space, garage
bays and a one-bedroom apart-
ment with a full kitchen and
bathroom.
Thehomeis not far fromWil-
lisPond, wheretheremainsof a
piano that reportedly once be-
longed to Ruth is thought to be
submerged. Legend has it that
Ruth, who rented a hunting ca-
bin on the pond, pushed an up-
right piano onto the ice one
winter during a party, then left
it there until the ice meltedand
piano plunged into the water.
The current owners have
lived in the home about 20
miles west of Boston for nearly
30 years and are moving on,
Adamson said.
The only drawback may be
theoccasional baseball fanwho
stops by to take a look, said
Aglaia Pikounis, a spokeswo-
man for Coldwell Bankers par-
ent company.
On Friday, eight balls signed
by Ruth during a 1948 trip to a
Ford dealership in Spencer, Io-
wa, sold for just over $216,000,
Heritage Auctions director
Chris Ivy said. One ball innear-
mint condition went for
$77,000, while two others sold
for just over $13,000.
The family of dealership
owner John Hart kept eight of
the dozens of balls Ruth signed
in a safe deposit box for more
than six decades until deciding
to put them up for auction.

LOS ANGELES San Fran-
cisco Giants reliever Guiller-
mo Mota was suspended for
100 games on Monday, be-
coming just the third major
league player penalized
twice for positive drug tests.
The commissioners office
said the 38-year-old right-
hander tested positive for
Clenbuterol. In November
2006, while with the New
York Mets, Mota was sus-
pended for the first 50
games of the next season.
We wont have Mota for a
while. It is what it is, and you
move on, manager Bruce
Bochy said before the Giants
began a three-game series
against the Dodgers. If we
get into a situation where
we need a pitcher, were
going to have to make a
change. Right now were
going with 11 pitchers, and if
we have to adjust, we will.
Motas agent Adam Katz
said in a statement that the
Clenbuterol was in childrens
cough syrup.
Players are responsible
for what they put in their
bodies. Guillermo under-
stands that, Katz said. A
100-game suspension for
taking a childrens cough
medicine that contains trace
amounts of a prohibited
substance, which is what
happened here, is severe
and unfair and does not
reflect the intention of the
Joint Drug Prevention and
Treatment Program. We will
appeal it.

drug suspension

WILKES-BARRE Coughlin
has now taken care of all the
opponents that took care of the
Crusaders earlier in the year.
Ivy Nulton was the star se-
nior on a rainy Senior Day,
scoring four goals and assisting
another as Coughlin avenged
an earlier loss with a 5-1 victory
over Crestwood in a Wyoming
Valley Conference Division 1-A
girls soccer game Monday.
Coughlin (9-2-1) started the
season 0-2-1, tying Berwick and
losing to Dallas and Crestwood.
The Crusaders completed a
three-game sweep in the re-
matches, running their winning
streak to a WVC-best nine
games.
Crestwood fell to 8-3 in the
division, but like Coughlin still
has a chance to catch Dallas
(10-1) for the divisional title.
Dallas game with Berwick was
postponed Monday.
In the second half, we kind
of fell apart, Crestwood coach
Russ Kile said. Like I said last
time, its just a matter of consis-
tency. There are a lot of varia-
bles out here, and Coughlin is
always strong.
Nulton was playing plenty of
defense when Coughlin was
struggling. Since moving to the
attacking line, she has become
the Crusaders leading scorer.
Nulton took a 1-1 game and
helped tear it open in a three-
minute span of the second half.
She scored her second goal of
the game in the 48th minute,
taking a pass from Bailey No-
vak and beating Crestwood
keeper Megan White to the ball
inside the penalty area.
Then, 29 seconds later, Kait-
lyn Pearage sent a long pass
into the penalty area. The ball
took an unexpected skid off the
slick grass, allowing Nulton to
make the score 3-1. She assisted
Nora Fazzi just over a minute
later and capped the scoring off
a Fazzi assist in the 74th min-
ute.
They responded to our little
talk at halftime, Coughlin
coach Joe Spagnuolo said.
They played all right in the
first half, but they werent play-
ing the way they are capable of
playing. In the second half, we
picked up our game and they
did some adjustments on their
own and some adjustments we
made. I thought they did a real
fine job.
There was a scary moment
between Coughlins fourth and
fifth goal. White got a spike to
the head while trying to get a
loose ball in the upper right
part of the penalty area. She
left the game, but Kile said she
was all right.
The road doesnt get easier
for Crestwood. The Comets
host Berwick on Wednesday
and travel to Dallas on Monday.
You can see we still have
things to work on, Kile said.
Hopefully, we can give Ber-
wick and Dallas a run for their
money.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- Brett
Gardners return to the Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees will
have to wait until tonight.
The New York Yankees left
fielder was scheduled to bat
leadoff and play left field for the
Yankees in a Monday night
matchup with the Columbus
Clippers at Frontier Field, but
the game was postponed by
steady rain.
It will be made up tonight
with two seven-inning games
beginning at 5:05.
Gardner is beginning a rehab
with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
that is supposed to last two
games. He has been on the dis-
abled list since April 18 with a
strained right elbow.
In Game 1, Yankees left-hand-
er Manny Banuelos (0-1, 6.00
ERA) will pitch against left-
hander DavidHuff (0-1, 6.48). In
Game 2, its the Yankees Adam
Warren(2-1, 5.26) against fellow
right-hander Kevin Slowey (2-2,
5.68).
The game also features Co-
lumbus outfielder Russ Canzler,
a Hazleton Area High School
graduate and the 2011 Interna-
tional League MVP with the
Durham Bulls. Canzler, who al-
so plays third base, is hitting
.264 with no home runs and five
RBI in 27 games.
The Yankees (14-14) have
dropped four straight.

Roy Phillips said that, midway
through the season, she is well
ahead of her heights from last
years state-medaling finish.
Jimcosky captured first in the
event Saturday with a 5-4 leap.
Shes one of the better
jumpers in the conference, he
said. Shes already getting all-
time highs. She already around
5-4, which she didnt get last
year.
Northwest also received first-
place finishes from Olivia Mag-
ni (pole vault) and Alivia Wo-
melsdorf (discus) at the
Wilkes-Barre Invitational.
Both the boys and girls
teams are poised for strong fin-
ishes at the District 2 Class 2A
championships May 14-15 in
Scranton. Northwest coach
Todd Culver said that because
of the teams relatively small
sizes, they have potential to be
in the hunt to finish at the top
in Scranton.
A team like us is better suit-
ed for a district meet than we
are for conference season,
Phillips said. And, even in
spite of that, were currently
tied for first in the boys.
Depth is a concern for the
Rangers on both sides. One of
the smallest schools in the dis-
trict, the Rangers rely mostly
on its top talent in each event.
We need the depth with the
second and third competitors,
Culver said. Its always an is-
sue with a small school.
The Rangers also overcome
facilities that lack the quality
that many of its competitors
take for granted. Jimcosky said
it causes for some problems
during training but weathers
them for all conditions.
Its difficult not having the
surfaces that some of the other
teams have, Jimcosky said.
Mostly its not so much a dis-
advantage whereas it prepares
us for anything we might see
on the track.

the better for him, Sisterson

ent training style. I suppose its
better to get the horse used to
the surface and things like that.
So, hes here now, and were ex-
cited to have him here for the

Instead of staying in Stall 40,
the traditional Pimlico home of
the Derby winner, Ill Have An-

by ONeill.
For Team ONeill, serenity
was more important than tradi-
tion.
I suppose its like a human.
You want to try and get your
rest, Sisterson said. If youve
got 50 million people outside
your bedroom, stopping and
peeking every single day, you
wouldnt get much sleep, would
you? I suppose being out of the
way, getting himto relax andbe-
ing himself, is better for the
horse.
Ill Have Another won the
Kentucky Derby as a 15-1 shot
and became the first horse ever
to win the Derby from the 19th
post.

Derby winner Ill Have Another
evidently loves traveling every
bit as much as galloping on the

Still, the experience of playing
in a do-or-die game only goes so
far, accordingtoColinMcDonald.
The east thingtosayis it is go-
ing to help. Guys will be more
comfortable and confident be-
cause weve been in this situation
before, he said. But talk is
cheap. We actually have to go out
and play that way. Whenever our
backswereagainst thewall, weve
played some pretty good hockey,
andthatswhyImconfidentinthe
group of guys we have.
Besides, the Penguins can look
at the success of other teams in
the past who have battled back
whenfacedwitheliminationonly
to advance.
Lerg brought up a good exam-
ple.
Look back at last year and
Binghamton was down 3-1 in the
first round and won three games
ina row, all inovertime, andwent
on to win the finals, he said. We
just have to get a win tonight and
take it one game at a time.
Lerglookingfor a goal
After he scored 27 goals in the
regular season, Lerg is still look-
ing for his first goal through nine
postseasongames. Whenaskedif
he was feeling pressure to pro-
duce, Lerg said his focus is else-
where.
Imjust tryingtoplaytheright

he said. Im not thinking about

PENS
NHL during five decades, a
hockey Hall of Famer who was
the first NHL Lifetime Achieve-
ment Award winner.
But Howe had never been at
Mohegan Sun Arena before
Sunday.
Nice, an impressed Howe
said as he looked around the
place. But I havent skated on
it.
He swears he can still skate,
even at the age of 84, even if his
mind isnt as razor-sharp as once
was.
My knees are hurting, Howe
said, but theyre all right.
Who can argue with one of
the best ever and most recog-
nizable figures in the sport?
He was 52 years old at the
time of his retirement following
the 1979-80 season, and remains
the only man to play in an NHL
game after the age of 50. To get
a into sixth decade of hockey,
Howe signed on and suited up
with the IHLs Detroit Vipers for
a game in 1997.
This legend was a 23-time
All-Star. This was a guy who
came up as a rookie and
knocked his closest competitor,
Maurice The Rocket Richard,
cold with one punch.
This was the player who once
defined toughness, who frac-
tured his skull at the end of one
season and came back to win
the NHL scoring title by 20
goals the next.
This was the guy the great
Wayne Gretzky idolized grow-
ing up.
He signature line in a box-
score is named after him a
goal, an assist and a fight in the
same game is called a Gordie
Howe hat trick.
Who knows how long he
might have played if the game
hadnt changed so drastically on
him?
The players got bigger and
stronger and faster, and the
rules changed to allow more
checking and less fighting.
You used to be able to defend
yourself years ago when some-
body was coming to hit you,
said Gordies son, Mark Howe.
When someone was coming to
take a run at you, you tried to
put a stick through his head, or
whatever you could do to slow
him down.
But there are no slow players
anyomore, Mark continued.
Theyre all big, all strong.
Thats why I quit, Gordie
said.
Mark Howe, who was in-
ducted into the Hockey Hall of
Fame himself last year and had
his No. 2 jersey retired by the
Philadelphia Flyers in March, is
now the director of pro scouting
for the Detroit Red Wings.
Hes helping to watch over his
aging dad, and brought Gordie
along for the ride Sunday to
watch the Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton Penguins play the St. Johns
IceCaps at half-filled Mohegan
Sun Arena.
Ive been coming here since
the building opened, Mark
Howe said, scouting and watch-
ing Wilkes-Barre play. I think
Wilkes-Barre generally has had a
pretty strong team, pretty well
every year. The only thing thats
changed, you couldnt find a
seat in this building years ago.
Im surprised theres not as
many people.
But there were enough to
create the kind of excitement
that typically surrounds a hock-
ey playoff series.
It almost made a legendary
great want to go right out and
skate.

SKATES
While the Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton Penguins and St. Johns Ice-
Caps battled on the ice in Game 4
on Sunday, someone who accom-
plished more than just about any
hockeyplayerinhistorysat quietly
in a suite taking it all in.
Hall of Famer Gordie Howe
made his first trip to the Mohegan
SunArenaonSundaywithhis son,
Mark, who is also in the Hall of
Fame and is currently a scout for
the Detroit Red Wings.
During the first and second in-
termission, Mr. Hockey -- as
Howeisknown-- happilyposedfor
pictures in the hallway and shook
hands with fans. And while Mark
saidhisfathersmemoryisnt what
it used to be at age 84, it was clear
that he still has a zest for life.
And a lot of it centers around
hockeythesport that Howedom-
inated for decades during a career
that spanned from 1946 to 1980
and included 801 NHL goals, four
Stanley Cups and 23 All-Star
games.
He likes to be in the rink. He
doesnt see much hockey any-
more, Marksaid. Hejust loves to
be around people.
Despite his age, Howe main-
tains a busy travel schedule. He re-
centlyplayedinacharitygolf tour-
nament in New Jersey to benefit
the police and
went to Toronto
for a fundraiser
to benefit Alz-
heimers re-
search.
Mark said
keeping his dad
busy is what
keeps himhappy.
Its important. A lot of people
dont understand why hes still
traveling and doing stuff, Mark
said. If he just sits at home and
hesnot aroundpeople, it getsstag-
nant.
Youre careful of his schedule,
but he needs to be with people.
Thats what lifes all about.
Howe, whowas wearingawind-
breaker emblazoned with his Mr.
Hockey nickname, looked fit.
Mark said he is on a cardio rehab
program and walks 3-4 miles a
week. Gordie Howes wife, Col-
leen, passed away in 2009, and
Mark along with his two brothers,
Murray and Marty, now take care
of their father.
For Mark, whotraveledwithhis
dadto the rink whenhe was grow-
ing up, having his father accompa-
ny himon the road is a blessing.
We just came here to watch a
hockey game and enjoy each oth-
ers company, he said. Were
lucky. Its a pleasure to have him
around.

nounced. My elbowwas down. I
didnt jump. Im a pretty honest
player. Im not a dirty player. Im
not out there to hurt anybody. I
was just trying to finish a hit.
The Devils feel otherwise.
I thought it was a textbook
example of what they are trying
to get out of the game, Devils
coach Peter DeBoer said.
Giroux was agitated when
Devils goalie Martin Brodeur
played the puck outside the trap-
ezoid. Giroux barked at the offi-
cials before he skated straight at
Zubrus and took out his frustra-
tion with the hit. The Devils
went on to beat the Flyers, 4-2.
Zubrus said he was fine and
ready to go for Game 5.
I was just trying to get in the
forecheck and got hit, he said
Monday. The only real point of
contact was my head. I know it
wasnt an elbow. It was a shoul-
der and I went down. I amhappy
I can continue without stopping
playingandI will be inthe lineup
tomorrow.
Giroux had stronger words for
the Flyers, saying they were
panicking and have lost confi-
dence in their game against the
Devils. That was never more evi-
dent than when he was called for
the head-hit penalty on Zubrus.
Were not playing our game,
Giroux said. We need to relax a
little bit. Everybodys just pan-
icking a little bit. We need to re-
lax. We needto have a little more
confidence in our game.
Both teams had the day off
from practice on Monday.
At this point, Im not sure
what going out and skating is go-
ing to accomplish, Flyers coach
Peter Laviolette said.
With or without Giroux, the
Flyers are in trouble. They have
failed to play like the high-scor-
ing team that dominated Pitts-
burgh on the power play and
rolledtothree straight wins. The
Devils have rattled the usually
unflappable Flyers.
Scott Hartnell threw his glove
into the penalty box after he was
whistled for a penalty. Goalie
Ilya Bryzgalov took his time get-
ting to his feet after a goal in
Game 2. The Flyers are strug-
glingtogenerate any offense and
are leaving too many periods
with single-digit shot totals.
This is the biggest challenge
of the year, Flyers forward Dan-
ny Briere said. But weve shown
all year that were not quitters.
Briere, Hartnell, Giroux, de-
fenseman Kimmo Timonen and
other key regulars were part of
the Flyers team that stormed
back froma 3-0 hole to beat Bos-
ton en route to the Stanley Cup
finals in2010. Sotheyknowahis-
toric comeback can be done
even if theyre not using it as a
rallying point.
To tell a story, I dont knowif
that will get the deal done (Tues-
day), Laviolette said.
But that history is exactly why
the Devils want to finish off the
Flyers when theyre down.
They are a comeback team,
Devils forward Travis Zajac said.
They have the players to do it.
The Devils are the ones set-
ting the pace, dominating the
puck and staying out of the pen-
alty box. They also knowhowto
rally after rebounding from a 2-0
holeinthefirst periodonSunday
to win. Theyve played like the
anti-Flyers andtheywant tokeep
up that pace.
Ideally, we would like to go
there and end the series, Devils
captainZachParise said. We ex-
pect them to play very well. We
have to keep playing the same
way we are, even better.
GIROUX
SALT LAKE CITY Manu
Ginobili broke out of his shoot-
ing slump with17 points to lead
the San Antonio Spurs to an 87-
81victory over the Utah Jazz on
Monday night and a sweep of
their first-round Western Con-
ference series.
Ginobili was 0 for 8 from be-
yond the arc in the first three
games. But after Utah pulled
within 61-58 with 3:18 left in the
third, he hit consecutive 3-
pointers then added another as
the Spurs regained control, tak-
ing a 76-58 lead early in the
fourth.
The Jazz went scoreless for
more than 8 minutes during a
15-0 Spurs run. Utah made a fu-
rious chargelateandwas within
83-79 on Al Jeffersons putback
with 49 seconds left.
But Ginobilis fastbreak layup
after a steal by Tony Parker
sealed it.
Utahs Big 3 lineup with Der-
rick Favors at power forward
kept the Jazz close, but San An-
tonios bench made the differ-
ence, outscoring the Jazzs re-
serves 47-10.
Top-seeded San Antonio ad-
vanced to the second round and
awaits the winner of the Mem-
phis-Los Angeles Clippers se-
ries, which may not be settled
until Sunday.
The Spurs are on a 14-game
winning streak and looking to
make amends for a first-round
upset by Memphis last year.
The Jazz have lost eight
straight playoff games as they
were swept by the Lakers in the
second round two years ago. It
was only the second first-round
sweep in Jazz history, the other
coming in 1989.
The young, inexperienced
Jazz put up a fight at the end,
but it was too little too late.
The Spurs won Game 1 by 15
points, Game 2 by 31and Game
3 by 12, relying on MVP candi-
date Parker and the deepest
bench in the league.
With Parker scoring11points
on 4-of-14 shooting Monday,
andstarters Kawhi Leonardand
Danny Green struggling offen-
sively, the Spurs bench picked
up the slack.
Weve been a deeper team
this year than we usually are
and it sure came in handy to-
night, Spurs coach Gregg Pop-
ovich said.
Ginobili, who missed 32
games because of injury in the
regular season, shot just 6 of 26
in the first three games but
came up big when the Spurs
needed him most.
Tim Duncan added 11 points
and was the only other starter
in double figures for the Spurs.
Stephen Jackson added 11
points and Tiago Splitter had10
for the Spurs.
Jefferson led Utah with 26
points on13-of-19 shooting, and
had 10 rebounds.
Devin Harris added19 points
but shot just 6 of 17. Favors,
making his first postseason
start, added 16 points and
blocked shots by Parker and
Splitter.
Gordon Hayward, who fin-
ished the regular season strong,
shooting .507 fromthe field and
49 percent from 3-point range
over the final 13 games, went 0
for 7 overall on Monday.
Utahs first two players off the
bench, Alec Burks and Josh Ho-
ward, were a combined 0 for 10
from the field.
Before the game Jefferson
conceded that the Spurs simply
were the better team, and the
best in the NBA.
On Monday they showed
why.
Still, the Jazz made a game of
it after trailing by as many as 21
points in the fourth quarter.

Bulls try to dig out of big hole against 76ers
DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) It seemed almost unthinkable that the
Chicago Bulls could be in this spot.
Yet here they are, trailing the Philadelphia 76ers 3-1 in the first
round and trying to avoid elimination as they return home for
Game 5 on Tuesday night.
If the Bulls lose, they will be just the fifth No. 1 seed to fall to an
eighth seed. It would also give Philadelphia its first series victory
since 2003, a scenario few envisioned when the postseason
started.
Its been a crazy year from beginning to right now, guard
Richard Hamilton said Monday. We know that.
They also realize itll take a wild comeback for them to
advance, particularly given their injuries. They lost Derrick Rose
for the remainder of the season to a torn anterior cruciate
ligament in his left knee late in the series opener, and center
Joakim Noah will likely sit out his second straight game because
of a sprained left ankle, leaving them without two of their leaders.
As they staggered back home following Sundays 89-82 loss,
they sure looked like a beaten team. History says theyre just
about finished, too. Only eight teams have come back from a 3-1
deficit to win a best-of-7 series.
Hamilton wasnt conceding anything. He was with Detroit when
the Pistons turned the trick in 2003, beating in the first round
Orlando after falling behind 3-1 and advancing all the way to the
conference finals.
When we played Orlando, I remember Tracy (McGrady) made a
comment saying that it feels good to be going to the second
round, so we kind of took that personally, Hamilton said. Right
now, its personal. Its not just about business. ... Its personal. This
is it. You can win and continue playing, or you can go home, so
youve got to make it personal.
NEW YORK Marc Staal
scored a power-play goal 1:35
into overtime after Brad Ri-
chards tied it in the dying
seconds of regulation to lift
the New York Rangers to a
stunning 3-2 victory over the
Washington Capitals in Game
5 of the Eastern Conference
semifinals Monday night.
With goalie Henrik Lundq-
vist pulled for an extra attack-
er, Washingtons Joel Ward
took a four-minute penalty for
high-sticking Carl Hagelin
with 21.3 seconds left in the
third period. Richards tied it
on the first half of the power
play with just 7.6 seconds to
go, and Staal won it with a
drive that appeared to deflect
off a Washington player be-
fore beating goalie Braden
Holtby.
The top-seeded Rangers
can advance to the Eastern
Conference finals on Wednes-
day in Washington. If neces-
sary, Game 7 would be back
in New York on Saturday.
With the crowd still buzz-
ing over the shocking tying
goal, a din that held up
through the long intermis-
sion, John Mitchell won a
faceoff in the Capitals end to
start the winning play. Staal
corralled the puck at the
right point, glided to the cen-
ter of the zone, and fired the
drive that set off a wild cele-
bration on the ice and in the
seats at Madison Square Gar-
den.
The Rangers mobbed each
other at center ice as the
crushed Capitals trudged to-
ward the tunnel to their
dressing room and then
raised their sticks to the
crowd as red, white and blue
streamers cascaded down
from the rooftop.
The celebration, that culmi-
nated in fireworks as the
three stars of the game were
announced to the crowd,
seemed almost inevitable af-
ter Richards tied it.
After no success with tradi-
tional 5-on-4 power plays, the
Rangers made the most of
their 6-on-4 edge as Lundq-
vist watched from the bench.
Michael Del Zotto took a
shot that hit traffic in front to
the right of Holtby. Ryan Call-
ahan took two or three hard
whacks at the loose puck, but
couldnt get it forward. Ri-
chards jammed his stick into
the maze of legs and poked
the puck past Holtby just be-
fore he was able to cover it
with his glove.
John Carlson, who had giv-
en the Capitals a 2-1 lead in
the third period, couldnt
keep the puck out, either, af-
ter he got in behind Holtby as
a last line of defense.

George Mason University
junior Mandissa Marshall easily
captured the pole vault at the
Colonial Athletic Association
Outdoor Track Championships
last weekend in Fairfax, Va.
Marshall (Crestwood) set a
meet record with a 13-7 effort
to win the event by more than a
foot. She captured the title last
season as a sophomore with a
13-1 effort.
Mandissa was very excited to
compete in the championships,
pole vault coach Kevin McGorty
said. She loves being in front of
the home crowd (George Mason
hosted the meet). Despite rain
delays, she kept herself focused
on first winning for the team
and then chasing the meet re-
cord. She accomplished both.
Marshall had two attempts at
14-feet but fell short. She holds
the GMU record at 14-1.
Mandissa really wants to fix
a few more things so that she is
set to compete well in the
NCAAs and hopefully the Olym-
pic Trials, McGorty said.
Marshall earned All-America
honorable mention at the
NCAAs last season.
The NCAA East Regionals
will be held May 24-26 in Jack-
sonville, Fla., followed by the
NCAA Championships on June
6-9 in Des Moines, Iowa, and
the Olympic Trials on June
22-July 1 in Eugene, Ore.
HEALEY HELPS HUSKIES
Freshman Michael Healey
(Tunkhannock) is seeing action
pitching for the Connecticut
baseball team.
The 6-foot-1, 185-pound right-
hander has worked in eight
games and has a 6.23 earned
run average. In 8
2
3 innings, hes
given up 14 hits and six runs, all
earned, with six walks and sev-
en strikeouts.
Mike is working hard ad-
justing to Division I baseball,
pitching coach Josh MacDonald
said. He has a nice three-pitch
arsenal and when his confidence
is right, hes very effective.
MacDonald believes that
Healey will help the Huskies
down the road.
I see Michael being an im-
portant cog on our pitching
staff, the coach said. A sum-
mer of baseball will be very
good one developmentally for
him and give him the confi-
dence to come in and earn an
even great role next season."
The Huskies are currently
26-21 with a 14-7 mark in the
Big East.
BOWMAN HELPS EAGLES
The Mary Washington womens
tennis team captured the Cap-
ital Athletic Conference title
with an 8-1 victory over Salis-
bury and junior Cassie Bowman
(Crestwood) had a big hand in
the victory.
Bowman won her match at
No. 3 singles and captured her
match in No. 3 doubles for the
Eagles, who earned their 14th
straight trip to the NCAA Divi-
sion III Tournament with the
victory. The NCAA tourney
begins this weekend.
On the season, Bowman was
11-12 in singles and 11-7 with
three partners in doubles.
YANORA TOP FROSH
Erika Yanora was named PSAC
Central Freshman of the Year
for her play with the Blooms-
burg softball team.
Yanora (Tunkhannock) hit
.312 (49-for-157) with seven
doubles, three triples, a home
run and 21 RBI. She scored 32
runs.
Sophomore Mandi Black
(Northwest) was a pitcher with
the Huskies. She was 7-5 with a
3.20 earned run average.
Bloomsburg finished 35-16
after losing 4-3 to West Virginia
Wesleyan and 4-1 to Lock Haven
in the NCAA Division II Atlantic
Region Tournament.
FIRST FOR SZPYNDA
Widener sophomore Erica
Szpynda (Berwick) captured the
shot put at the Middle Atlantic
Conference Womens Track
Championships last weekend in
Elizabethtown with a toss of
39-9. She also finished fourth
in the discus (111-9).
The Pride finished fifth in the
team standings.
SOLID SEASON FOR WOY-
TACH Jonathan Woytach did
the job at the plate and in the
field for the Marywood baseball
team.
Woytach (Pittston Area) hit
.348 (46-for-132) with nine dou-
bles, 23 RBI and 34 runs, the
latter was second best on the
squad. He also walked 21 times
and had a team-high 13 sacri-
fices.
At second base, Woytach
made six errors on 165 chances
(.952 fielding percentage).
The juniors performance
earned him Colonial States
Athletic Conference second
team honors.
The Pacers finished 22-18
after losing 10-4 to Keystone and
5-2 to Gwynedd-Mercy in the
CSAC Tournament.
TRIO WITH PRIDE Sopho-
more Franco LaBraico (Hazle-
ton Area), and freshmen Marc
Noyalis (Dallas) and Josh Ever-
ett (Lake-Lehman) were mem-
bers of the Widener baseball
team, which finished 20-19 over-
all and 7-11 in the Common-
wealth Conference.
LaBraico was 2-0 pitching
eight games in relief. He worked
nine innings and gave up 11 hits,
11 runs, all earned, with 11 walks
and six strikeouts.
Franco was a key arm in our
bullpen and was used as a left-
handed specialist, coach Mike
LaRosa said.
Noyalis also pitched in relief,
working 12 games and posting a
1-1 record with a 3.00 ERA. In 18
innings, he gave up 20 hits and
11 runs, six earned, with 11
walks and 16 strikeouts.
Marc has a lot of talent and a
high upside due to his good
work ethic, LaRosa said.
Everett saw limited action in
the field but hit .400 (4-for-10)
with an RBI and a run.
Josh is one of the hardest
working players Ive ever been
around, LaRosa said. He had
some upperclassmen playing in
front of him but he should devel-
op into a very good college
player.
SECOND FOR ZACK Navy
freshman Aaron Zack (Crest-
wood) finished second in the
javelin at last weekends Patriot
League Mens Outdoor Track
Championships in Worcester,
Mass. He posted a personal best
toss of 200 feet. He earned All-
Patriot second team honors for
his effort.
Zack helped the Midshipmen
finish second in the team stand-
ings with 153 points.

first base and pitched for the
Baptist Bible softball team and
she was named to the Colonial

ond team at first base.
The sophomore, also a stand-
out basketball player, hit .410
(50-for-122) with 20 doubles,
two triples, six home runs with
41 RBI and 35 runs.
In the circle, Rava was 10-11

HORSENS, Denmark Mat-
thew Goss of Australia won the
third stage of the Giro dItalia on
Monday, while world champion
Mark Cavendishandoverall lead-
er Taylor Phinney were involved
ina crashinthe high-speedsprint
finish.
Phinney maintained the over-
all lead, since times are neutral-
izedwhentherearecrashes at the
end of flat stages.
Cavendish, whowonstage 2on
Sunday, fell hardonhis left shoul-
der but got up and carried his
bike across the finish.
The BMC team said Phinneys
right ankle had a puncture
wound. He also had scrapes on
his right elbow and limped up to
the pink jersey podium celebra-
tion.
You dont see a lot of crashes
like that in the last kilometer, es-
pecially the last couple hundred
meters, Phinney said. I hit the
ground really hard and also must
have had something hit me, be-
cause I have a little stab wound in
my ankle.
With Tuesday being a rest day
before the race travels back to Ita-
ly, Phinney and Cavendish have
some time to recover.
Marks had a bad crash and is
very uncomfortable but were
taking care of him, Team Sky
doctor Richard Freeman said.
Were traveling as a team to Ve-
rona.
Italian rider Roberto Ferrari
appeared to cause the crash by
cuttingCavendishoff andwas rel-
egated to last place by the race ju-
ry.
Goss finished in 4 hours, 20
minutes, 53 seconds. Juan Jose
Haedo of Saxo Bank finished sec-
ond and Tyler Farrar of Garmin-
Barracuda was third, both with
the same time.
The stage featured an entirely
flat 118-mile route beginning and
ending in Horsens.
Phinney won the opening time
trial Saturday to become the first
American to wear the pink jersey
since Christian Vande Velde in
2008 and only the third all-time
after Andy Hampsten won the
race in 1988.
Phinney is not a contender for
overall victory since he is not a
good climber.
BMC team assistant director
Fabio Baldato said Phinney will
jointhe rest of the teamona char-
ter flight Monday night from
Denmark to Italy.
Team president Jim Ochow-
iczandour racedoctor, DarioSpi-
nelli, will go with Taylor to a hos-
pital in Verona tonight and well
have an update afterward, Bal-
dato said.
The stage began with a minute
of silence to remember Wouter
Weylandt, the Belgian rider who
diedinlast years thirdstage. The
race also paid tribute to Horsens
Mayor Jan Troejborg, who died
Sunday of a heart attack while
biking.
After a rest day Tuesday, the
race returns to Italy with a 20-
mile time trial in Verona on
Wednesday.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mark Cavendish, bottom center, crashes during the third stage of the Giro dItalia in Horsens, Den-
mark, on Monday. Matthew Goss won the third stage of the Giro dItalia on Monday, while world
champion Mark Cavendish and overall leader Taylor Phinney were involved in a crash in the high-
speed sprint finish. Phinney maintained the overall lead, since times are neutralized when there are
crashes at the end of flat stages.
Goss wins Giro stage; Cavendish, Phinney in crash

Consumers borrow more
Total consumer borrowing rose $21.4
billion in March, the Federal Reserve
said Monday. Thats the seventh
straight monthly increase and the
largest since November 2001.
A measure of auto and student loans
increased $16.2 billion. A separate
gauge of mostly credit card debt rose
$5.2 billion after declining in January
and February.
The increase pushed total borrowing
up to a seasonally adjusted $2.54 tril-
lion. Thats slightly below the all-time
high of $2.58 trillion reached in July
2008, eight months after the Great
Recession began.
Abbott to pay $1.6 billion
Abbott Laboratories has pleaded
guilty and agreed to pay $1.6 billion
over allegations that it promoted the
anti-seizure drug Depakote for uses
that were not approved by the Food
and Drug Administration.
Justice Department, U.S. Attorney
Timothy Heaphy said that the top
levels of Abbott carried out a strategy
of systematically marketing the drug
for purposes other than what federal
regulators had intended.
The case includes a criminal fine and
forfeiture of $700 million and civil
settlements with the federal govern-
ment and states totaling $800 million.
Another $100 million will go to states
to resolve consumer protection mat-
ters.
Kodak closing Gallery
Kodak will close its online Kodak
Gallery photo service on July 2 after a
federal bankruptcy judge approved
selling the business to Shutterfly for
$23.8 million.
The two companies offer similar
services, where basic sharing of photos
is free and users pay for prints, photo
books, digital copies on DVDs and
other products.
Talbots bid hiked
Clothing retailer The Talbots Inc.
said Monday that it has received a
sweetened buyout offer from private
equity firm Sycamore Partners that
values the company at about $211 mil-
lion.
Sycamore, which is already Talbots
largest shareholder with a 9.4 percent
stake, is offering $3.05 per share for the
company, thats a 9 percent premium
from the stocks closing price on Fri-
day.
The womens clothing company has
struggled, posting annual losses in four
of the past five years.

OMAHA, Neb. Billionaire
Warren Buffett said Monday that
Europe will have a hard time re-
solving its fiscal problems be-
cause of the structure of the Eu-
ropean Union and this weekends
election results in Greece and
France.
But he says
the turmoil in
Europe wont
keep him from
investing. Buf-
fett said Berk-
shire plans to
addtoits stakes
Monday in two
U.S. companies.
I think the worst mistake you
can make in stocks is to buy or
sell based on current headlines,
Buffett said. He did not identify
the two companies.
Berkshires chairman and CEO
said Europe has got a lot of prob-
lems. Theyll solve them, but not
without a lot of pain.
He said he wouldnt hesitate to
buy a European business if he
found an attractive one to add to
Berkshires portfolio of more
than 80 companies, including the
Burlington Northern Santa Fe
railroad, Geico insurance and
MidAmerican Energy.
But Buffett said he avoids buy-
ing into businesses like Facebook
because its too hard to estimate
what they might be worth.
Im an agnostic on a company
like Facebook. Anytime you get a
truly extraordinary business
and its obvious its an extraordin-
ary business theyre the har-
dest ones to value, Buffett said.
Buffett was asked about his
eventual successor at Berkshire
during an interview on Fox Busi-
ness Network later Monday. The
questions are coming up because
Buffett is 81years old and was re-
cently diagnosed with prostate
cancer although the disease is
not expected to threaten his
health.
Buffett is keeping secret the
identity of the person likely to
succeed him as Berkshires CEO
but is narrowing the field he
says the top choice and two back-
ups are men.
Buffett has said Berkshires
board has chosen his successor,
but doesnt want to name himbe-
cause the choice could change.
He expects his successor will
maintain the company culture.
Mysuccessor doesnt needap-
prenticing, Buffett said.

SAN FRANCISCO A federal jury
in San Francisco has reached an im-
passe on a key issue in Oracles copy-
right-infringement case against Goo-
gle, handing the database-software
company a major setback.
Oracle had been seeking up to $1 bil-
lion in damages on copyright claims
after alleging that Google Inc. built its
popular Android mobile software by
stealing some of the technology from
Java, a programming platform that
Oracle Corp. bought two years ago.
In delivering a partial verdict Mon-
day, the jury found Google infringed
on the largest of Oracles claims, but it
couldnt agree on whether Googles
use was legally protected fair use.
Without that determination, it will be
difficult for Oracle to win major dam-
ages.
The jury also found Google in-
fringed on Oracles copyright on nine
lines of Java code that is in Android,
but Oracle can only go after statutory
damages on that one. Those damages
can range from $200 to $150,000.
Google is moving for a mistrial.
Google prevailed on other claims.
Google has argued it only used
parts of Java that have always been
freely available.
The same jury will now hear evi-
dence in the next phase of the trial,
covering Oracles allegations that An-
droid violates two Java patents. Those
claims are believed to be worth con-
siderably less to Oracle than the hun-
dreds of millions of dollars in damages
that it had hoped to extract from Goo-
gle had it prevailed on all of its allega-
tions of copyright infringement.
Google v. Oracle jury at impasse
The jury also found Google infringed
on Oracles copyright on nine lines of
Java code that is in Android, but Ora-
cle can only go after statutory damag-
es on that one.
HAZLE TWP. A Northeastern
Pennsylvania company has an-
nounced that it will sponsor a NAS-
CAR racing truck with a central Penn-
sylvania driver at the wheel.
Troy Healthcare LLC, makers of
Stopain topical pain relief products,
on Monday announced a five-race
minimum sponsorship agreement
with Peck Motorsports and driver
Todd Peck for the NASCAR Camping
World Truck Series. The partnership
begins with the Iowa 200 race at the
Iowa Speedway on July 14. The an-
nouncement was made at Troy
Healthcares headquarters and manu-
facturing facility in the Valmont In-
dustrial Park.
In addition to the Stopain logo on
the hood, the truck will carry the Ar-
thritis Foundation and Kids Get Ar-
thritis Too logos.
The agreement between Peck and
the maker of Stopain was not a coinci-
dence.
Peck, 26, of Jefferson, York County,
was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis
at the age of 15.
My back gets sore when I race, and
thats from the arthritis. So I have just
learned to live with it. People have ar-
thritis and can still do things. I just
think this program reminds people
that you can still achieve goals.
Peck Motorsports has a history of
promoting arthritis awareness and
this latest partnership continues that.
Some proceeds from the sale of Stop-
ain already are donated to the Arthri-
tis Foundation.
Our mission is to help manage pain
so people can lead richer and health-
ier lives, said Anthony Cicini, vice
president of Troy Manufacturing Inc.
We also have been a proceeds spon-
sor with the National Arthritis Foun-
dation since 2005 and thats what
makes this partnership a perfect fit.
After meeting and learning more
about Todd Peck, and seeing all that
he has done for the Arthritis Founda-
tion and juvenile arthritis, it became
very easy for us to partner with the
team.
Though there is a NASCAR truck
race at Pocono Raceway this year, the
Peck truck bearing the Stopain logo is
not now scheduled to race there.

Converging
winds along a
stalled front will
maintain a low
deck of nimbo-
stratus clouds
today with rain
and drizzle at
any time. Just
before midnight,
the wind will
shift toward the
west, ending the
rain. Total rainfall
will range from 4
to 8 tenths of an
inch. We still
need from 1 to 3
inches of rain to
bring our spring
rainfall up to
normal. Partial
sunshine returns
for Wednesday,
but with colder
air aloft, more
showers are pos-
sible in the after-
noon. Thursday
will feel much
cooler with
northerly winds,
but at least our
lawns and gar-
dens will be
happy.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will bring rain and scattered thunderstorms to the Northeast
today, while showers and thunderstorms will extend from the Mid-Atlantic into the Southeast. A few
of these storms may be strong to severe. Showers and thunderstorms will also spread along a frontal
boundary from the southern Plains into the central and southern Rockies.

Q: Whats your
thought on using local
honey to help with
spring allergies? Ive
found that since taking
a tablespoon daily, my
allergies have been
much better.
A.W., Kennesaw, Ga.
A: It seems that the anecdotal evi-
dence that consuming honey made by
bees local to where one lives reduces
seasonal allergies is much stronger than
the sparse amount of formal research
done to date. The principal behind in-
gesting a tablespoon of locally produced
honey daily is that it contains pollen
fromflowering plants endemic to your
area. The bees become covered in pollen
spores fromwhatever is in bloomand
this is transferred to their honey. The
belief is that such exposure to the local
allergens is like an oral formof allergy
shot desensitization. The problemis that
there have only been two randomized
studies using a placebo group to date to
test this hypothesis. The first study,
conducted in 2002 by the University of
Connecticut Health Center on only 36
allergy sufferers found that honey did
not showa measurable reduction in
allergy symptoms compared against a
placebo. Asecond study conducted in
2011on just 44 allergy sufferers to birch
pollen found that the local honey did
relieve symptoms compared to the place-
bo group.
My advice would be that if the locally
produced honey helps with your allergy
symptoms, keep using it. For most folks,
its safe enough to give it a try. My only
caution would be in diabetic patients and
those with the severest of allergies who
might be at risk for a serious life-threat-
ening allergic reaction to the honey.
Q: I recently heard that Starbucks
strawberry Frappuccinos use a red food
coloring made fromdried, crushed up
bugs. Are there any other foods that
routinely contain bugs?
H.V., Orlando, Fla.
A: For many years, weve been con-
suming the natural red food dye made
fromthe dried, finely ground remains of
the South American insect, Dactylopius
coccus. While the finely ground powder
does not impart any flavor to the many
foods to which it is added, the idea of
consuming desiccated bug powder is
unappealing to many. These bugs are
tiny: to make one pound of cochineal
extract, 70,000 insects are required. Its
presence is disguised under natural
coloring ingredient names like cochineal
extract or carmine extract.
Cochineal extract recently received
national attention when it was discov-
ered that Starbucks switched to cochi-
neal as a move away fromartificial col-
oring. While safe for the vast majority of
folks, there have been rare cases of al-
lergic reaction to cochineal extract.
Cochineal and carmine extracts are not
vegan, nor are they Kosher. As an al-
ternative to cochineal dye, beets are
another source of red dye.
There are indeed insect body parts,
rodent hair and other icky things that
the FDApermits in limited quantities in
our foods. The FDAsays that a certain
amount of contamination is unavoidable
in commercial food processing. It further
states that it is economically impractical
to grow, harvest or process rawproducts
that are totally free of non-hazardous,
naturally occurring unavoidable defects.
The FDAsets limits for naturally occur-
ring contaminants that are unaesthetic
but in most cases not hazards to public
health.

IN BRIEF

What makes us so enjoy the taste
of sweets? According to the
latest position paper on Nutri-
tive and Non-nutritive Sweet-
eners from the Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics (http://
www.andjrnl.org/article/S2212-
2672(12)00325-5/abstract) our
taste for sugar is innate. Its the
sweet taste of lactose (milk
sugar) that guides a newborn
baby to moms breast. And ge-
netics plays a role as well, say
experts.
Heres a quick primer on sweet-
eners in our diet:
Nutritive sweeteners are a source
of energy (calories). Some are a
natural part of the food we eat
such as lactose in dairy foods
and fructose in fruit, honey and
agave. Some added sugars are
derived from natural sources.
For example, sucrose half
fructose and half glucose table
sugar is found in cane and
sugar beets.
Non-nutritive sweeteners are
those that impart a sweet taste
without calories. Examples are
acesulfame K (derived from an
organic acid and potassium),
aspartame (made from two
protein-type amino acids), and
stevia (a sugar-type molecule
processed from the stevia plant).
Sucralose (aka Splenda) is an-
other example of a non-nutritive
sweetener.
Sweeteners do more than impart a
sweet taste. Sugar inhibits the
growth of microbes (bad
bugs) in jams and jellies. It
can balance the acid
taste of dressings and
sauces. It adds vol-
ume, texture, flavor
and color to various
food creations. Chewing gum
that contains xylitol a sugar
alcohol has been found to
prevent dental caries.
We need sugar. It is the fuel
that runs all of our
body machinery.
Glucose, for exam-
ple is the primary
energy source
for every cell in
the body. Cells
including brain
cells will die without adequate
glucose.
We eat more sugar than we need.
Excessive amounts of added
sugar provide no redeeming
nutritional value other than
added calories. And like all extra
calories, those that are not
burned for fuel get stored as fat.
Experts tell us that excess con-
sumption of added sugars is
linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes
and heart disease.
O N N U T R I T I O N Understanding sweeteners
HACKENSACK, N.J. _ The health care
sector has beenoneof thebetter segments
of the nations slowly improving employ-
ment picture. Nevertheless, nursing stu-
dent Corynth Torres is bracing for what
could be a long job hunt.
Honestly, I dont expect it to be easy,
said Torres, who is scheduled to graduate
from Bergen Community Colleges two-
year nursing programin May. She plans to
takethestateexaminationfor certification
as a registered nurse soon afterward.
Torres said nursing seemed to be the
right choice because it offers the best op-
portunity for steady employment, good
pay, flexible hours and advancement.
However, competition is stiff because the
number of nursinggraduates has risenand
older nurses are delaying retirement in an
uncertain economy, leaving fewer open-
ings. Another barrier for many graduates
is employers are more insistent that nurs-
es hold four-year degrees.
New graduates are having trouble for
the first time in a long time, said Sharon
Zaucha, associate dean of nursing at the
community college. The enrollment
trends are still very strong, but there are
not a lot of jobs for entry-level registered
nurses, she said.
Jobs numbers released recently by the
fedeal government showed health care
employment continued to growin March.
But like employment overall, the rate of
growth slowed, with 26,000 health care
jobs added, downfroma61,000increasein
February and a 43,000 gain in January.
A recent report from the New England
Journal of Medicine said a long-standing
nursing shortage is over, at least for now,
after the number of full-time nurses in the
United States grew by 386,000 between
2005 and 2010, despite the recession. By
2020, a nursing shortage could return as
an anticipated surge in nurse retirements
will coincide with a rise in demand for
health care as baby boomers reach Medi-
Four-year degree becoming a must in nursing

ANOVER, Pa. -- Were talking about a clinic here so its not a long story
because they come and you treat them and they might cry a bit but then
you have to let them go. Thats the idea, said Joyce Bragg, a nurse at
Hanover Hospital whos seen her share of clinic duty. But when the kids
come in, its not always that easy. Like when youve got a little boy with big brown
eyes holding his belly, its not so easy.
Ritchie was 7 years old.
He presented with pain in the abdomen. The
nurse laid himon the table and felt gently with
her hands and asked the questions shed asked
before and the mass in his stomach was just im-
possible to miss. The nurse felt it. She looked
over at silent family.
His mom asked me, please, to fix it, she
said.
Its National Nurses Week and such stories
havebeenswirling. But for anindustryinwhich
thanks are more likely passed along in a whis-
pered word or a meaningful look than through
public accolades, its not the easiest thing to
find, the quintessential nursing story.
The one that will have all the kids clamoring
to come to nursing class.
Maybe thats for the best, said Cindy Donell,
campus director of nursing at Harrisburg Area
Community Colleges York campus. Because

Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital awarded
accreditation
The Commission on Accred-
itation of Rehabilitation Facil-
ities (CARF) recently an-
nounced that the Center for
Advanced Rehabilitation at
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
has been accredited for a peri-
od of three years. This is the
first accreditation that CARF
has awarded to Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital, which
opened the 20-bed unit in July
2011.
The three-year accreditation
represents the highest level of
accreditation that can be
awarded to an organization
and demonstrates the orga-
nizations substantial conform-
ance to the CARF standards.
An organization receiving a
three-tear accreditation has
undergone a rigorous peer
review process. It has demon-
strated to a team of surveyors
during an on-site visit its com-
mitment to offering programs
and services that are mea-
surable, accountable, and of
the highest quality.
Valley Open MRI
receives accreditation
Valley Open MRI & Diag-
nostic Center has been award-
ed a three-year term of accred-
itation in magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) on both their
Toshiba Vantage Titan 1.5
Tesla and their Hitachi Airis II.
This accreditation is the result
of a recent review by the Amer-
ican College of Radiology
(ACR). MRI is a noninvasive
medical test that utilizes mag-
netic fields to produce anatom-
ical images of internal body
parts to help physicians diag-
nose and treat medical condi-
tions.
The ACR gold seal of accred-
itation represents the highest
level of image quality and
patient safety. It is awarded
only to facilities meeting ACR
Practice Guidelines and Tech-
nical Standards after a peer-
review evaluation by board-
certified physicians and med-
ical physicists who are experts
in the field.

this work is not easy.
You have to really analyze
yourself, thats what Donell tells
prospective students. Its a ser-
vice profession, and that means
holidays, weekends. It takes a
certain drive in the individual.
You have to be able to rise to
the occasion.
That being said, the job can be
rewarding.
As part of HACCs nursing pro-
gram, Donell sees plenty of peo-
ple come through who can make
it inwhat most agree is a growing
industry. While some hospitals
have been holding off hiring as
the economy spits and sputters,
nonetheless thepopulationis get-
ting older, technology is improv-
ing and people are living longer.
That means more nurses are
needed, which means demand
and potentially good pay and
plenty of job stability.
And if you can think critically,
Donell said, theres a place for
you.
Being a caring person, that
used to be enough. But its a very
complex industry now, she said.
You need to be a critical thinker.
You need to be able to adapt, but
if you can do that youll succeed.
Ritchie needed a kidney trans-
plant.
That much was clear, Bragg
said. Fromthe first it was obvious
the issue was hydronephrosis, or
water inside the kidney. In this
case the cause was the boys ure-
ters, which werent properly
draining because of a congenital
defect. It caused a painful backup
into his small kidneys.
The family, of course, was
frightened.
There were questions about
how to proceed. There were con-
cerns about the potential trans-
plant, a word that recalls an after-
noon in the garden but which for
a kidney requires a team of sur-
geons, nurses, equipment and
machines. Skill. Time. And more
luck than anyone would like.
So Bragg spoke to them of
these things. She spoke of the
odds and the doctors orders and
of how shed seen it work before.
Along the way she learned their
names.
She hugged and held hands.
She wasnt on the clock, when
Ritchie went into surgery. But
that mother of five who lives in
Lebanon and commutes to work,
well, she still wasnt thinking
about day-to-day duties. Any of
1,000 things in her own life.
She was thinking about that lit-
tle boy, and hoping.
Today more than ever, the pool
of prospective nurses is diverse,
Donell said.
As a college administrator, she
sees three main groups studying
nursing - older people who have
finished one career and are look-
ing to start something else that
they always wanted to do; people
whove been laid off in other sec-
tors looking for a profession with
better stability; and young kids
out of high school who think
nursing is the life for them.
Any of the three can excel, Do-
nell said. Thenagain, any of them
can be in for a surprise.
There are tough days, no
doubt, and its up to the individu-
al nurse to understand the limits,
to know what he or she can han-
dle. You have to analyze yourself
in this job, she said, to know
where you can best serve people.
You have to think, she said,
if it was my family member lay-
ing there who would I want com-
ing to their bedside?
That might seemobvious from
the outside looking in, Donell
said, but its far from simple.
And no, its not like on TV.
Donell said there are too many
Hollywood portrayals that shows
a nurse as a woman who never
gets her hands dirty, and by ex-
tension too many kids who now
come in with that expectation.
She breaks them of it quickly.
Its nursing, she tells the young
students, and you have to check
catheters and change diapers and
blot bloody noses.
But you make a difference,
she says.
Ritchie died in January of this
year.
It was warmanddry that day in
Haiti.
Thats where Ritchie died.
He was a Haitian boy Joyce
Bragg met on one of the first of a
dozen mission trips to Central
America a few years ago, taken
initially to fill some college cred-
its. Shes beenback a dozentimes
since, on her own dime. On vaca-
tions and over holidays.
You want to save them all,
the nurse said. No matter who
they are or where they are, the
pain is the same.
Sure, shes heard the question -
why dont you take care of your
own? Shes heardit a lot, actually.
She tells those people shes do-
ing that, too.
You tell them youre working
on it, she said.
And, you remember. Whether
its a father of four or a borough
grandmother or a little boy with
big brown eyes almost 10 in a
country where children are writ-
tenoff at the first signof sickness,
Bragg said, you remember. The
bumpy flights and that tarantula
in the clinics dirt-floor latrine
and the coloring books you
brought him, the ones hed wait
for with hands outstretched.
Sometimes, though, its just
not enough, she said.
Thats the job.
Soona goodday youlaughand
you go home and you hold your
loved ones tight, and feel like
youveprovidedsomeservice. On
a bad day, well, you just hope you
helped preserve a bit of dignity
for someone.
And then you think of all those
others who need a hand or a sym-
pathetic ear, Joyce Bragg said.
Youre a nurse, she said, rising.
So you get back to work.
CARE
National Nurses Week began
officially in 1954, when it was
observed in October to mark the
100th anniversary of Florence
Nightingales ground-breaking
mission to help those injured in
the Crimean War, according to the
American Nurses Association.
In the late 1970s several states
rallied to promote a nurse-recog-
nition day, and in 1982 the ANA
formally acknowledged May 6 as
National Nurses Day.
President Ronald Reagan then
signed a proclaiming the day
National Recognition Day for
Nurses.
The ANA expanded the event to a
week-long celebration beginning
in 1991, and the event is now
known as National Nurses Week.

Darcie Schaffer, HealthyWoman
case coordinator for Maternal
and Family Health Services,
Wilkes-Barre,
attended the
2012 Avon
Foundation
Breast Cancer
Forum, after
being award-
ed a scholar-
ship from the
Avon Founda-
tion for Wom-
en. This years
forum took place March 21-23 in
New York, N.Y., and focused on
programs exploring overcoming
racial disparities in breast cancer
care and treatment, as well as
ensuring access to breast cancer
early detection programs and
treatment. Schaffer was one of
more than 275 community
health educators, patient naviga-
tors, nurses and physicians from
all 50 states who attended the
forum.

care eligibility.
That is aplausiblescenario, ac-
cording to Susan Bakewell-
Sachs, programdirector for New
Jersey Nursing Initiative. That
program helps nursing schools
develop curricula with funding
from the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation and New Jersey
Chamber of Commerce Founda-
tion.
This is a temporary easing re-
lated to the effects of the reces-
sion, Bakewell-Sachs said.
In New Jersey, for example,
the average age of the states
114,654 registered nurses is near
50, she said.
Meanwhile, employers and
nursing schools are working to
meet a recommendation by the
Institute of Medicine, the health
arm of the National Academy of
Sciences, that 80percent of regis-
tered nurses have bachelors de-
grees by 2020.
Hackensack University Medi-
cal Center, for example, hires
registered nurses with two-year
associate degrees only if they are
enrolled in a bachelors program,
saidKarenHanson, thehospitals
director of talent acquisition and
retention.
Beginning in 2013, all new
hires must have a baccalaureate
nursing degree, she said. Cur-
rently, about 63 percent of the
hospitals 2,800 nurses hold the
four-year degrees. The hospital
offers employees tuition reim-
bursement up to $5,250 a year,
Hanson said.
The number of people receiv-
ing baccalaureate degrees in
nursing doubled nationwide to
161,540 in 2010 from 72,986 in
2000 according to the American
Association of Colleges of Nurs-
ing based in Washington.
The Hackensack hospital, be-
cause of its prestige and ex-
tremely competitive pay and
benefits, has not faced a nursing
shortage, Hanson said. It re-
ceives more than 10,000 nursing
applications a year to fill about
300 jobs on average, she said.
In a metropolitan statistical ar-
ea that includes New York City
andsome of its suburbs, the aver-
age annual pay for registered
nurses is more than $83,000.
Torres said her goal is to get a
nursing job and work toward a
baccalaureate at the same time.
She plans to focus her job hunt
on same-day surgery centers.
That is not a bad strategy, ac-
cording to Bakewell-Sachs.
Much of the growth in nursing
jobs is taking place in nursing
homes and at ambulatory-care
centers, pharmacy clinics and in
the home health services area,
she said.
What I tell students is they
shouldbethinkingof acareer tra-
jectory that includes an educa-
tion projection path, said Bake-
well-Sachs. Anyone who has
other peoples lives intheir hands
must be a lifelong learner.

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

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I have
been with my boy-
friend Paul for
four years. We have
a child together,
and we each have a
child of our own. We
have lived together
for three years, and our family life is
great. However, when I was pregnant
with our son, Paul contacted an ex on
a social network. One day he left his
computer open, and I saw that their
conversations were less than inno-
cent. I was upset and said something.
We have stayed together, but since
then Im having a hard time trusting
Paul. Because he had also been call-
ing the woman, I check our phone re-
cords. Yesterday I found a text of his
to a former bosss daughter. Paul was
telling her how hot she is.
Abby, am I overreacting when I
think Paul is going to cheat?
Alarmed in North Carolina
Dear Alarmed: Youre not overreact-
ing. Paul is cheating on you emotion-
ally, and doesnt appear to be entirely
committed to your relationship. In
fact, it appears he is looking for some
outside adventures. You should be
furious about what hes doing. This
wont stop until YOU draw the line.
Dear Abby: My parents divorced
during my junior year of high school.
I am now a sophomore in college. I
have done my best to maintain a good
relationship with Dad, although I
chose to live with my mother.
Since the divorce, Dad has verbally,
emotionally and financially abused
me to the point that I no longer want
him as part of my life.
I miss having a father figure, even
though no amount of counseling
could ever mend our broken relation-
ship. We went through two years
of counseling, and the only thing I
learned was that Dad believes he has
done nothing wrong.
How can I get over the pain and
hurt my dad has caused me?
Heartbroken in Michigan
Dear Heartbroken: It will probably
take one-on-one counseling for you
to establish enough emotional inde-
pendence to toughen up. Your fathers
unwillingness to take responsibility
for his mistakes is an indication that
he will never be the parent you would
like him to be. It will take time and
work on your part to get beyond this
loss, so the ideal place to begin your
journey would be by talking to a psy-
chologist at the student health center.
Dear Abby: My 6-year-old cousin
wanted to make a lemonade stand,
so my sister and I helped her, but
she got discouraged because nobody
would buy any. She was so angry she
started yelling, then she crossed the
line and dropped the F-word. My sis-
ter and I were shocked that a 6-year-
old would know that word. She said
her classmate told it to her.
We told our parents, but were not
sure if we should tell her mother be-
cause she might think my sister and
I taught it to her. Should we tell her
mother or let it slide hoping she will
forget the word and move on?
Not Sure in San Diego
Dear Not Sure: Your parents should
tell your aunt about the incident, just
in case your cousin doesnt forget
the word. That way her mother can
explain to her that there are certain
words polite people dont use.
DEAR ABBY

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). You
have a basic recipe for taking
care of yourself. Realizing that
youre a little bored with the
basics, today youll add special
extras and secret ingredients to
that formula.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Physical exertion during the day
helps you fall into a deeper and
more restful sleep at night. It will
be difficult to gain a winning per-
spective if you are tired. Getting
rest is a top priority.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Things
get complicated. Right now
youre not sure who is on your
side; youre not even sure wheth-
er you are on your own side.
Start there. How can you better
support yourself?
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
one who is very charming is not
trying to get you to do anything
in particular. As a result, you
have a way of unwittingly draw-
ing this person out.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When things
seem much harder than they
should be, you take notice and
start asking questions. What am
I putting out that attracted this
tone to me? How can I adjust to
create greater ease in my life?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Youre
not into forcing life to bend to
your will. Anyway, that wouldnt
work. Youll deal with what
youre given and see the poten-
tial. Youre creative.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Youll get
an extra dose of optimism from
the stars. Your stellar attitude
allows you to start fresh, no mat-
ter how many times youve failed
in the past. You let go and stay
open to the unexpected.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
will be sure to accomplish your
top three priorities. If you want
to stay on track, be sure to cel-
ebrate those accomplishments.
Otherwise, youll quickly lose
steam.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If
you believe that things happen
for a reason, you dont always
have to know what that reason
is. You trust that its right. And
trust cant happen unless theres
a factor of the unknown.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youll sense that you need to
release your resistance to an
idea, but you may not feel ready
to do so. The more you accept
the better youll understand your
options.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
are not in the mood to wait
around, and you make that clear
with your behavior. Because you
place such a high value on your
time, others will do the same.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
deserve to be prosperous, and
you believe that others deserve
this, too, so youll help them get
where they want to be. This in
turn builds your business.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 8).
Youll apply passion to your work
with fantastic results. You may
choose a difficult job because
you know you can do it and
someone has to. The entertain-
ment is rich in June. Friends and
family surprise you with their
plans in July. Youll scoop up a
major bonus in September and
use it to embark on an adven-
ture. Scorpio and Libra people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 3, 50, 23, 25 and 18.
