NEWPORT TWP. – Two
boys ages 2 years and 10
months were left alone in the
woods for nearly11hours after,
township police allege, their
mother abandoned them in a
vehicle that got stuck in mud
onanisolateddirt roadSunday
night.
The boys were found un-
harmed by a passer-by Monday
morning as
search crews
canvassed a
large section
of woods
along Main
and Lee
roads. The
search was
called off
when it be-
came known
the children
were safe at
the township
police sta-
tion.
Police
charged Melissa Michelle De-
Marco, 33, of Lewis Road, Hun-
lock Township, with two
counts each of child endanger-
ment, recklessly endangering
another person and leaving a
child unattended, and a single
count of trespass by vehicle.
She was arraigned by District
Judge Donald Whittaker in
Nanticoke and jailed at the Lu-
zerne County Correctional Fa-
cility for lack of $50,000 bail.
According to the criminal
complaint:
The search began after 8
a.m. when Jason Tarnowski
told police he was stopped by a
woman, identified as DeMar-
co, covered in mud and wear-
ing no shoes near St. Michael’s
Cemetery in Glen Lyon.
DeMarco told Tarnowski
she and her children were in a
car that got stuck in mud and
she needed a ride to her house.
When DeMarco could not find
her house on Lewis Road, Tar-
nowski gave her a ride to a
house on McDonald Road in
West Nanticoke.

WILKES-BARRE – Attorney John Aciu-
kewicz already plays a judicial role of sorts as
a PIAA basketball official.
He makes decisions for everyone tosee and
scrutinize while refereeing between two op-
posing teams, he told The Times Leader en-
dorsement board Wednesday.
“(Being a PIAA official) is a great analogy
for being a judge,” Aciukewicz, 52, of Shaver-
town, said.
He said he did not want to make a “knee-
jerk” reaction to the ongoing
corruption probe in Luzerne
County by running for judge in
2009.
Two years later, Aciukewicz
said the corruption is only part
of why he’s running and he feels it’s the right
time in his life and career to take the next
step.
Aciukewicz said his wide-range of experi-
ence in the law is what qualifies him to serve
in one of six open seats on the Luzerne Coun-
ty Court of Common Pleas.
He has worked as an assistant district at-
torney, civil litigator and in his own private
practice since 1992, prosecuting between 30
and 35 jury trials, arguing five

WILKES-BARRE – Local
businessman Thom Greco has
filed a federal lawsuit against
King’s College and city and
county officials, alleging they
conspired to shut down The
Mines nightclub because its pa-
trons were predominantly
blacks and Latinos.
The suit, filed in federal court
in Scranton, claims the night-
club and its patrons were sub-
jected to extraordinary scrutiny
and harassment by law enforce-
ment officials, despite the fact
the establishment was never cit-
ed for liquor law violations,
while other bars withnumerous
citations were
given a free
ride because
their patrons
were mostly
Caucasians.

ment serious-
ly harmed the

the city.

BEARCREEKTWP. – Add the
township to the list of municipal-
ities contemplating a ban on bath
salts, which contain legal sub-
stances that can cause users to
act as if they are intoxicated or
under the effects of illegal drugs.
At a meeting Monday, supervi-
sors asked Solicitor William Vin-
sko about the possibility of enact-
ing an ordinance against bath
salts. Vinsko said he has worked
with other municipalities to draft
bath salt ordinances and called
the product’s side effects “a se-
vere health risk.”
Vinsko noted the state House
on Monday passed legislation
banning bath salts, and he ex-
pected the state Senate to follow.
He said if that happens, it would
“trump” any legislation passed
by the township.
The board decided to wait to
see how quickly the Legislature
acts before going forward with a
township ordinance.
“We don’t want to invest time
and money in this if the state is
goingtopass somethingintwoto
three weeks,” said board Chair-
man Gary Zingaretti.
Asked if the township has ex-
perienced any problems with
bath salts, Zingaretti said he
wasn’t aware of any but added
that the township relies on state
troopers for police services and
maynot haveheardof problems if
they had happened.
“Obviously, it’s a health and
safety issue,” he said, “and what
we’ve seen in other municipal-
ities is that whenthey are banned
in one area, problems increase in
the surrounding municipalities.
We don’t have that many com-
mercial outlets here but it’s a po-
tential problem that we want to
consider.”
In other business, the board
was updated on the status of the
sewage plan. Zingaretti said the
township is awaiting the results
of flowmeter tests on the line go-
ing fromthe township into Plains
Township, which began March
24. Thirty days of testing is nec-
essary before the planning proc-
ess can continue.

SCRANTON – A state appel-
late court has upheld a Lacka-
wanna County judge’s ruling that
will allow the city of Scranton to
reduce the number of firefighters
and fire engines that respond to
automatic alarms.
The Commonwealth Court on
Monday said the city had the
right to reduce the number of en-
gines that respond to automatic
alarms from two to one, which
will also result in a reduction of
firefighters from13 to 10 or 11.
The firefighter’s union had fil-
ed a labor grievance after the city
implemented the policy change
in 2005, arguing it was a safety is-
sue. An arbitrator initially ruled
in the firefighters’ favor, but a
county judge later overturned
the decision, finding the arbitra-
tor had overstepped his author-
ity.
The judge determined Scran-
ton had the right to reduce the
number of firefighters based on
the economic recovery plan it
had implemented in order to re-
solve financial issues that ledit to
be declared a distressed commu-
nity. The plan stated the city was
not obligatedtofollow“past prac-
tices” that were in place in earlier
collective bargaining agree-
ments.
In upholding that decision, the
Commonwealth Court noted
that the arbitrator had relied on
“past practices” in reaching his
decision. Because the recovery
plan specifically stated the city
was not obligated to follow past
practices, it agreed the arbitrator
had overstepped his authority.

SWOYERSVILLE -- Property
maintenance and cleanup came
up for discussion at Monday
night’s council meeting.
Sam Barbose of Courtdale
said that borough Zoning Offi-
cer Joseph Ruscavage had been
overzealous in regard to citing
him and requesting the timely
cleanup of a rental property he
owns on Main Street in the bor-
ough. He said other property
owners in the area were granted
leniency in cleaning up proper-
ties.
Ruscavage responded that up-
on Barbose’s purchase of the
property, he was directed to
clean it up. He said he had ap-
propriately cited Barbose under
sections 302.1 and 307.1 of the
borough code.
Barbose presented pictures
that he said indicated that the
property had been cleaned up.
In another matter, concern
was expressed about the Wade
Run Stream Improvement Flood
Control project.
Resident Mark Nenichka said
the project was not being com-
pleted in a timely way and did
not seem to be well organized
in its completion goals.
Council members Charles
Zambito and William Keating
said they share this concern and
will look into the matter fur-
ther.

JACKSON TWP. – Looking
to provide quality health care
for township workers at a cost
savings, supervisors voted
Monday night to join an inter-
governmental cooperative
agreement called Benecon
Healthcare Ordinance.
Township attorney Jeffrey
Malak said the Benecon
Healthcare Ordinance is a
group health insurance plan of-
fering reduced premiums for
municipalities. Last month,
Chairman John Wilkes Jr. said
the township could see an esti-
mated 15 percent reduction in
health care premiums through
its participation in the pro-
gram.
Malak said Benecon is being
adopted throughout the state.
Locally, he said Kingston
Township and Dallas and
Larksville boroughs are partici-
pating in the program.
“There are numerous partici-
pating municipalities within
the state,” Malak said.
In other business, supervi-
sors approved a new storm wa-
ter ordinance in compliance
with the state Department of
Environmental Protection’s
ACT 176 and the Clean
Streams Law.
The state-mandated ordi-
nance will create strict guide-
lines for new construction to
limit erosion and minimize dis-
ruption to flood plains, Malak
said.
Also, B & J Paving of Shaver-
town was awarded the contract
for emergency repairs from the
March 11 flood damage to
Stoneybrook Road under the
2010 paving contract. B & J
Paving’s bid was $14,972.
Supervisors appointed Dan
Paley to the Recreation Board
and Wilkes was chosen as an al-
ternate member, both for a one-
year term.

DORRANCE TWP. – Supervi-
sors on Monday night heard
complaints from two residents
who said they had long-running
issues with the panel that could
lead to legal action.
Kevin Casey, Small Mountain
Road, and Richard M. Smith, St
Mary’s Road, said they have
long-standing issues withthe su-
pervisors and both have hired a
lawyer with intentions of mov-
ing forward with legal action.
Smith said his “next move is
court.”
He said he has long sought re-
lief from a surface water runoff
problem that exists on his prop-
erty at 3503 St Mary’s Road.
Vice Chairman Joe Ostrowski
told Smith a piping systemto di-
vert the water is in the works,
but Smith was not satisfied. He
reiterating his plan to pursue le-
gal action.
Casey said his problem stems
from a long-running dispute
with a quarry operation near his
property.
He said he has waged a fight
with the supervisors and the
planning commission. He said
some of the issues revolve
around mineral rights, zoning
and property lines. He said the
matter could be headed to deep-
er legal action.
Afterward, Ostrowski said su-
pervisors have tried to resolve
matters withSmithandCasey to
no avail.
Supervisors also voted unani-
mously to hire two recycling at-
tendants.

as recycling attendants were
Jake Shypuflski and Eric Creasy.
Ostrowski, presiding at the
meeting in the absence of Chair-
man Ray Engler, and
Supervisor Gary

of Shypuflski and
Creasy. It was stated
the hirings were on a
30-day trial basis.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. -- The
council voted Monday night to
contract with Commonwealth
Energy Groupof DicksonCity to
replace outdated fluorescent fix-
tures in township buildings with
more energy-efficient ones.
The township will recoup the
cost of the update in less than
two years, it was learned. The
change will save energy and will
earn the township rebates from
PPL, officials said.
In another matter, the council
discussed a problem with the
traffic lights near the Lord &
Taylor facility. Due to changes in
shift times at the business, the
timing of the lights does not
match current needs.
Officials said the Pennsylva-
nia Department of Transporta-
tion requires a resolution from
the township before it will con-
sider a change.
Also, two citizens said they
were concerned over a recent
zoning board decision to change
the use of a property on North-
ampton Street. The present
church property will be convert-
ed into a brewery.
Edward Collum said he was
worried the decision was made
too quickly. But Tom Zedolik,
zoningandcode enforcement of-
ficer, said all laws had been fol-
lowed when making the deci-
sion and people living in the vi-
cinity of the property had been
notified.
Two alleged nuisance proper-
ties were also discussed at
length.
Solicitor Bruce Phillips said
the title to a double property on
Spruce Street is complicated.
One half of the property was re-
cently acquired at a tax sale by
an out-of-state buyer. Zedolik
would like to condemn the prop-
erty, but the township would
then have to pay for the cost of
the demolition.
Council President Mary Yuk-
navich also expressed continued
concern over a property on
North Walnut Street.
Yuknavich also read a letter
from Mayor Carl Kuren, who
was unable to attend, expressing
his concern over the sale of bath
salts in the township and encou-
raging council members to take
action against the use or sale of
the substance in the township.

PLYMOUTH TWP. -- Town-
ship supervisors on Tuesday
spent most of the night ad-
dressing a letter from the Gas
Drilling Awareness Coalition,
which asked for use of the mu-
nicipal building for an infor-
mational meeting in May.
Representatives of the coa-
lition were present to hear the
decision and discussion be-
came heated when the super-
visors decided to follow their
solicitor’s advice and request-
ed equal representation at the
informational meeting.
Supervisor Gale Conrad
said the township is “interest-
ed in this information, but
wants both sides represent-
ed.” She said the issue is like
an election debate in which
both sides are “trying to get
out information, but all sides
are present.”
Supervisors requested an
invitation be sent to the Gas
Drilling Awareness Coali-
tion’s opponents before any
form of approval from the
township is given.
In other business, Alan Ba-
ranski, the recovery plan coor-
dinator for NEPA, reported

township is progressing well
and the township government
study committee is meeting

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County
senior judge has ruled prosecutors are pro-
hibited from using a recorded telephone
conversation of double homicide suspect
HugoSelenski inwhichprosecutors sayhe
spoketothefather of themanheischarged
with killing.
Senior Judge Chester Muroski, in an11-
page ruling issued last week, said prosecu-
tors maynot usetherecordingfromMay7,
2003, because Selenski did not know he
was being recorded.
“(The recording) fails to establish (Se-
lenski) was advised or
aware that the conversa-
tion was being taped,”
Muroski wrote.
Testimony of the re-
cordingwas giveninAu-
gust 2010 by Geraldine
Kerkowski.
Geraldine Kerkow-
ski’s videotaped testimony was taken in
August over anumber of hours, andmayor
may not be used at Selenski’s yet-to-be-
scheduled trial.
InMuroski’s filing last week, part of Ker-
kowski’s testimony was mentioned in
whichshesaidshewasawareof aconversa-
tion between Selenski and her husband,
Michael Kerkowski, Sr., because she heard
it being taped on the couple’s answering
machine.
“And as a result, are you telling us you
heard the conversation? Did you hear Hu-
go Selenski on the other end?” District At-
torneyJackieMustoCarroll askedKerkow-
ski in August.
“Yes,” Kerkowski replied.
“And where did you hear him from, or
how did you hear him?” Musto Carroll
asked.
“From the tape,” Kerkowski said.
Prosecutors arguedthe tape is admissib-
le because of Selenski’s “cunning, cool and
calculated responses” showed he was
aware he was being recorded.
“The record simply does not establish
the caller was advised, aware of or knew
that the conversationwas beingrecorded,”
Muroski wrote.
The judge scheduled a hearing for
Thursday, when a pre-trial conference
and/or trial date will be scheduled for Se-
lenski on homicide charges.
Heis chargedwithkillingGeraldineKer-
kowski’s son, Michael Kerkowski Jr. and
Tammy Fassett in 2002.
Their bodies were unearthed in June
2003 at the home Selenski shared with his
girlfriend on Mount Olivet Road in King-
ston Township.
Last month, thestateSupremeCourt de-
clined to hear Selenski’s appeal of a ruling
regarding the admissibility of testimony of
Michael Kerkowski Sr.
Muroski previously ruled a transcript of
testimony given by the elder Kerkowski
couldbeadmittedintoevidenceat thetrial.
The elder Kerkowski had testified at Se-
lenski’s preliminary hearing and was
scheduledtotestify at the trial, but he died
in September 2006.
Selenski tape ruled inadmissible
The suspect in two slayings did not
know he was being recorded, a

Some casino operators in the state were
probablysorrytoseeMarchend.
According to figures releasedMonday by
the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board,
gross revenues from the 26,592 slot ma-
chines in operation for the month set a re-
cord and were 7.38 percent higher than
March2010.
Theplayofslotma-
chines at the 10 casi-
nos across the state –
including Mohegan
Sun at Pocono
Downs in Plains
Township–produced
$214.9 million in
gross revenue last month, compared to
$200,162,919ayear earlier.
Thanks to the 55 percent tax rate on slot
machines, the higher play resulted in a re-
turn of $117.4 million in taxes to Pennsylva-
nia,anaverageof$3.8millionoftaxescollect-
edper day.
The previous record-setting month was
July 2010, which saw $211 million in gross
revenue produced from slot machine play
witharesultingtaxcollectionof$116million.
Approximately two-thirds of tax revenue
is dedicated to general property tax reduc-
tionforstatehomeowners. Lastyear, thatre-

The remainder goes toward major eco-

In March 2010 there were only nine casi-

Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs saw a
1.86 percent year-to-year increase in gross

He said that when taking a closer look at

WILKES-BARRE – A Harding man
charged with sexually assaulting a
then-13-year-old girl over a six-month
periodpleadedguiltyMondaytoa relat-
ed charge.
Mark Andrew McCloskey, 44, of Riv-
erviewVillage Trailer Park, entered the
plea before Luzerne County Judge Tina
PolachekGartley toone count of unlaw-
ful contact with a minor.
McCloskey was scheduled to stand
trial Monday onrelatedcharges, includ-
ing involuntary deviate sexual inter-
course, which were withdrawn by pros-
ecutors before McCloskey’s plea.
Polachek Gartley said McCloskey
will undergo an evaluation by the state
Sexual Offender’s Assessment Board to
determine if he is a sexually violent
predator, and that when sentenced on
July 6, McCloskey will be required to
register his address under Megan’s Law.
The judge ordered McCloskey, who
was represented by attorney Nanda Pal-
issery, to have no unsupervised contact
with minors.
Assistant District Attorney Maureen
Collins said McCloskey is charged with
having sexual contact with a then-13-
year-old girl from November 2008 to
May 2009.
According to court papers, on May
18, 2009, the teen’s grandfather told po-
lice that McClosky sexually assaulted
her on more than one occasion.
The grandfather was notified of the
assaults by a neighbor, police said.
When police interviewed the girl she
said that at the beginning of the six-
month period over which the assaults
occurred McCloskey would touch her
inappropriately.
The girl said she told McCloskey she
wantedhimto stop. She toldpolice that
she was afraid of him and didn’t know
what to do.
The girl said the inappropriate touch-
ing continued, and one day while
watching a movie, McCloskey allegedly
forced her into sexual activities.
The girl saidMcCloskey was aware of
her age. She said she feared his temper
and was afraid he might physically
harm her if she told about the abuse.
McCloskey was charged in April after
an11-month investigation. Delays in ar-
restingMcCloskeywereduetomultiple
interviews with people and the girl be-
ing hospitalized several times, police
previously said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – It
was two hours after Joe Tho-
mas, 78, of Mountain Top, had
visited the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial during the “Vets to
D.C.” trip Monday.
He searched the 150-panel-
long granite wall with more
than 50,000
names of
dead or mis-
sing military
personnel
from the war
for a friend’s
name he
couldn’t
quite re-
member.
“I keep
saying Pav-
lick, but I
know it’s not
Pavlick,” he
told his
friends from
the Ameri-
can Legion Post 781 while sit-
ting in front of the National
World War II Memorial.
A few minutes of small talk
later, Thomas, whoservedmul-
tiple tours of duty in the Army
between 1960 and 1966 and af-
ter the Vietnam War until the
early ’90s, was grinning from
ear to ear.
“Orville Paisley!” he sudden-
lysaid, eyes widewithdisbelief.
“It was Orville Paisley.”
Little moments, like Tho-
mas’ realization, were a bigpart
of why Crestwood High School

more than $6,200 to send local
veterans on an all-expenses-

POLICE BLOTTER
WILKES-BARRE – A
Throop woman has filed a
lawsuit in Luzerne County
Court alleging The Times
Leader and its parent compa-
ny damaged her reputation by
publishing an inaccurate news
article.
Michelle Scalese and her
husband, James Scalese, of
Emerald Drive, filed the suit
in Luzerne County Court
through their attorney, Ho-
ward Rothenberg, against the
newspaper and the Wilkes-
Barre Publishing Co.
The lawsuit states that on
Nov. 6, 2010, the newspaper
“falsely, maliciously, wickedly,
illegally and/or negligently
print and publish” an article
concerning Michelle Scalese.
The suit requests an un-
specified amount of monetary
damages, including for pain
and suffering, as well as dam-
ages on behalf of her hus-
band.
Michelle Scalese, 47, said in
court papers filed Monday
that a Wilkes-Barre City Po-
lice Department report listed
her as a “suspect” and that
she was never arrested on
theft charges or arrested for
any crimes.
Scalese and her attorney
say the paper “blindly relied”
on the accuracy of the police
department officials. It alleg-
es The Times Leader failed to
ascertain whether the state-
ments made were true, failed
to make an independent in-
vestigation or to confirm
statements made by officials
and failed to properly report
statements made by police of-
ficials.
Ralph Kates, attorney for
Wilkes-Barre Publishing Co.
and The Times Leader, said
the newspaper printed the in-
formation provided by the
Wilkes-Barre police in official
reports and that when Scalese
informed the newspaper that
the press release was in error,
Times Leader reporters and
editors “pursued the story un-
til the police corrected the er-
ror in their prior report.”
“It is because of The Times
Leader’s efforts that Mrs.
Scalese’s record has been
cleared. The reporters and ed-
itors have upheld the best tra-
ditions of American newspa-
per reporting in this matter,”
Kates said.

UNITED NATIONS
U.N. workers die in crash
O
nly one survivor has been con-
firmed among the 33 U.N. person-
nel and crew members aboard a plane
that crashed in Congo on Monday, a
U.N. spokesman said.
U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq said the
plane crashed Monday as it was land-
ing in the city of Kinshasa. Haq did not
say exactly how many people were
believed killed so it was unclear wheth-
er anyone else may have survived.
The cause of the crash was not im-
mediately known.
A top Congolese aviation official,
who spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not permitted to speak
to the media, said the plane was trav-
eling from Kisangani to Kinshasa.
Earlier Monday, the Congolese aviation
official had said at least 26 people had
been killed and six others injured.
PHOENIX
FAA wants inspections
Three more Southwest Airlines jet-
liners have small, subsurface cracks
that are similar to the ones suspected
in the fuselage tear on another of its
planes. Federal aviation officials are
considering an order for other airlines
to inspect their aircraft.
Boeing said Monday that it will issue
guidance this week on how airlines
should do checks on the affected air-
planes now in service.
The 5-foot-long hole tore open Friday
in the passenger cabin roof shortly
after the Southwest plane carrying 118
people left Phoenix for Sacramento,
Calif. It made a rapid descent, landing
at a military base in Yuma, 150 miles
southwest of Phoenix. No one was
seriously hurt.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.
A.C. casino profit drops
Atlantic City’s 11 casinos reported
their gross operating profit fell by near-
ly 28 percent last year as fierce compe-
tition from casinos in neighboring
states continued to batter the nation’s
second-largest gambling market.
Year-end tax data released Monday
by the state Division of Gaming En-
forcement showed the casinos with a
total gross operating profit of nearly
$535 million. That’s down from the
nearly $730 million in gross operating
profit in 2009.
The figure includes earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and other
costs, and is a widely accepted measure
of profitability within the gambling
industry.
David Hughes, chief financial officer
for Trump Entertainment resorts, said
2010 was a tough year because it in-
cludes a half-year of financial impact
from table games in Pennsylvania,
which began in mid-July.
SANAA, YEMEN
Snipers fire on marchers
Military forces and police snipers
opened fire Monday on marchers call-
ing for the ouster of Yemen’s embattled
president, killing at least 15 people and
sending a strong message of defiance
to U.S. and European envoys seeking to
broker a peace deal after months of
bloodshed.
The melee in the southern city of
Taiz — part of an intensifying crack-
down on the opposition — under-
scored the resolve of President Ali
Abdullah Saleh to cling to power even
as protest crowds resist withering
attacks and crucial allies switch sides
and call for his 32-year rule to end.

BREGA, Libya — Rebel
fighters pushed back into this
hard-fought oil town on Mon-
day, seizing half of Brega and
pledging to drive out Libyan
leader Moammar Gadhafi’s
forces in hours in an advance
that would open a vital conduit
for oil sales by the opposition.
Control of Brega’s small re-
finery and Mediterranean port
could significantly boost the re-
bels’ hunt for revenues they can
use to purchase heavy weapons
for the fight against Gadhafi’s
better-equipped troops and mi-
litiamen.
Lightly armedandloosely or-
ganized opposition forces have
surged into and beyond Brega
several times in recent weeks
from their strongholds in east-
ern Libya, only to be driven out
by Gadhafi loyalists exploiting
the rebels’ inability to hold ter-
ritory. In recent days the oppo-
sition has placed the front lines
under the control of former mil-
itary men, creating a more dis-
ciplined advance against Gad-
hafi’s forces.
“We’re more organized now,
and that’s played a big role,”
said Salam Idrisi, 42, a rebel
fighter.
The opposition advanced un-
der artillery fire throughout the
day and took the streets of New
Brega, a largely residential sec-
tion separated from the town’s
oil facilities by a stretchof high-
way and a university campus,
where the rebels were battling
Gadhafi fighters at close range.
“New Brega is under control
of our forces and we are mop-
ping up around the university,”
saidLt. MuftahOmar Hamza, a
former member of Libya’s air
force who had a satellite phone
and a GPS around his neck.
The rebels also saw success
Monday in their efforts to es-

TOKYO — Workers used a
milky bathwater dye Monday
as they frantically tried to
trace the path of radioactive
water seeping into the ocean
from Japan’s tsunami-dam-
aged nuclear plant.
The crack in a maintenance
pit discovered over the week-
end was the latest confirma-
tion that radioactivity contin-
ues to spill into the environ-
ment. The leak is a symptom
of the primary difficulty at the
Fukushima Dai-ichi complex:
Radioactive water is pooling
around the plant and prevent-
ing workers frompowering up
coolingsystems neededtosta-
bilize dangerously vulnerable
fuel rods.
The plant operators also de-
liberately dumped10,000 tons
of tainted water —measuring
about 500 times above the le-
gal limit for radioactivity —
into the ocean Monday to
make space at a storage site
for water that is even more
highly radioactive.
The nuclear plant was crip-
pled in Japan’s magnitude 9.0
quake and tsunami on March
11.
Efforts over the weekend to
clog the leak with a special po-
lymer, sawdust and even
shreddednewspapers failedto
halt the flow at a cracked con-
cretemaintenancepit near the
shoreline. They still can’t say
for sure if the pit, where radio-
active iodine was measured at
10,000 times the legal limit, is
the source of the leak.
Suspecting they might be
targeting the wrong channel
to the pit, workers tried to
confirm the leak’s pathway by
dumping several pounds of
salts used to give bathwater a
milky hue into the system,
plant operator Tokyo Electric
Power Co. said Monday.
Up to 25,000 people are be-
lieved to have died in the
earthquake/tsunami disaster,
and tens of thousands lost
their homes.
Thousands more were
forced to flee a 12-mile radius
around the plant because of
the radiation.

WASHINGTON—Yieldingtopolitical
opposition, Attorney General Eric Hold-
er announced Monday that 9/11 master-
mind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and
four alleged henchmen will be referred to
militarycommissions for trial rather than
to a civilian federal court in New York.
The families of those killed in the Sept.
11attacks havewaitedalmost adecadefor
justice, and "it must not be delayed any
longer," Holder told a news conference.
He had announced the earlier plan for
trial in NewYork City in November 2009,
but that foundered amid widespread op-
position to a civilian court trial, particu-
larly in NewYork. Congress passed legis-
lation that prohibits bringing any detai-
nees fromthe prisonat Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, to the United States.
Monday, the attorney general called
the congressional restrictions unwise
and unwarranted and said a legislative
body cannot make prosecutorial deci-
sions.
In New York on Monday, the govern-
ment unsealed and got a judge to dismiss
an indictment in the case that charged
Mohammed and the others with 10
counts relating to the Sept. 11, 2001 ter-
rorist attacks. The dismissal was because
the accused will not be tried in civilian
court.
The indictment saidthat inlate August
2001, as theterrorists intheUnitedStates
madefinal preparations, Mohammedwas
notified about the date of the attack and
relayed that to Osama bin Laden.
Some 9/11 family members supported
the change to military commissions.
"We’re delighted," said Alexander San-
tora, 74, father of deceased firefighter
Christopher A. Santora. The father called
the accused terrorists "demonic human
beings, they’ve already said that they
would kill us if they could, if they got the
chance they would do it again.”
Republicanlawmakers, who ledthe op-
position to a trial in civilian court, wel-
comed the administration’s shift.
"While it is unfortunate that it took so
long to make this announcement, I am
pleased that the Obama administration
has finally heeded those who rebuked
their decision and that the trial is being
held where it belongs," said Senate Judi-
ciary Committee Republican Jeff Ses-
sions of Alabama.

WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama formally
launched his re-election cam-
paign Monday, urging grass-
roots supporters central to his
first White House run to mobili-
ze again to protect the change
he’s brought
over the past
two years.
The official
start of his sec-
ond White
House bid, in
the midst of
three wars, a
budget fight
with Congress, and sluggish eco-
nomic recovery, comes 20
months before the November
2012 election.
“We’ve always knownthat last-
ing change wouldn’t come quick-
ly or easily. It never does,” the
Democrat said in an e-mail an-
nouncing his candidacy to more
than 13 million supporters. “But
as my administration and folks
across the country fight to pro-
tect the progress we’ve made —
and make more — we also need
to begin mobilizing for 2012,
long before the time comes for
me to begin campaigning in ear-
nest.”
He told them he was filing the
necessary paperwork with the
Federal Election Commission,
and directed them to his new
campaign website where a
launch video featured clips from
supporters talking about their
continued backing of the Demo-
crat.
Between now and the elec-
tion, the incumbent Democrat
will work to convince a fickle
America that he has delivered
change, made the right moves
and earned the chance to contin-
ue the job. He will have to defend
policies that have proven divi-
sive, chief among them his
sweeping health care overhaul
and his efforts to boost the slow-
to-rebound economy.
Republicans were quick to
criticize the news.
The Republican National
Committee circulated a research
document that accused Obama
of failing to lead on the budget
and entitlement spending. And
former Minnesota Gov. Tim
Pawlenty, a Republican compet-
ing for the chance to take on the
Democrat next fall, released his
own web video in which he says:
"How can America win the fu-
ture, when we’re losing the pre-
sent? In order for America to
take a newdirection, it’s going to
take a new president."

STATE COLLEGE — Penn
State president Graham Spanier
is the fifth highest-paid public
college president in the country,
a new survey found.
The Chronicle of Higher Edu-
cation report released Sunday
night found it cost Penn State
more than $800,500 to employ
Spanier. That figure includes an-
nual base pay, deferred compen-
sation and retirement contribu-
tions.
The Chronicle’s yearly survey
comes as Spanier and students
protest Gov. Tom Corbett’s pro-
posal to slash in half public fund-
ing to Penn State and 17 other
schools. Spanier, Penn State’s
leader since1995, is one of the na-
tion’s longest-tenured college
presidents.
"The timing is certainly awk-
ward, and any discussion of my
salary, which I consider to be ve-
ry generous, feels peculiar for
someone who grew up in a poor
family," Spanier wrote Monday
in an e-mail to The Associated
Press. Spanier noted his salary is
set by the university’s board of
trustees.
The trustees receive input
from financial advisers. The sala-
ry was appropriate for Spanier’s
success in leading one of the na-
tion’s largest university systems,
with a budget of about $4 billion,
university spokesman Geoff
Rushton said.
Spanier has donatedmore than
$1 million back to the university,
Rushton added.
"I give much of it back to Penn
State for scholarships, andwill be
increasing that allocation this
year," Spanier wrote. "My greater
concern is for those employees at
the lower end of the pay scale,
many of whom are struggling to
make ends meet."
Ohio State president E. Gor-
don Gee topped the list, costing
the university $1.8 million. He
was followed by former Universi-
ty of Washington leader Mark
Emmert ($905,000), who is now
NCAA president; University of
Texas president Francisco Cigar-
roa ($813,800); and the Universi-
ty of Central Florida’s John Hitt
($800,700).
In Pennsylvania, Temple presi-
dent Ann Weaver Hart was the
next highest-paid after Spanier,
with a total cost of employment
of about $707,900. University of
Pittsburgh chancellor Mark Nor-
denberg was next at roughly
$524,700.
“The compensation of the
chancellor is regularly publicly
reported and you will recall that
he andthe other senior officers of
theuniversityvoluntarilytookno
salary increases for two years”
during 2008-09 and 2009-10, Pitt
spokesman John Fedele told the
Post-Gazette in Pittsburgh in a
statement.
Two other Pennsylvania lead-
ers were included in the survey:
State System of Higher Educa-
tion chancellor John Cavanaugh
($357,500) and Indiana Universi-
ty of Pennsylvania president To-
ny Atwater ($276,900).
Afewstudents onMonday crit-
icized Spanier’s pay when asked
to comment just before they
joined a rally on the University
Park campus against Corbett’s
proposal. They said he should
take a cut to help alleviate poten-
tial shortfalls. His salary had al-
ready been a sticking point with
some student groups.
"Him taking that much money
at a time like this is really bad,"
saidsenior andanthropology ma-
jor Chris Stevens, 22, of State
College. "I would advocate him
taking a 15 percent pay cut to
make an emergency scholarship
fund because next year, a lot of
students are going to have a very
difficult time coming to Penn
State and might have to drop
out."
Enrollment at Penn State has
grown by 14,000 students during
the last 10 years under Spanier,
university vice president Bill Ma-
hontoldThe Philadelphia Inquir-
er in Monday’s editions. Mahon
said Spanier’s salary was frozen
last year, along with the pay of
other university employees "and
he will share in the freeze an-
nounced for this summer, as
well."
Not a word about Spanier’s sal-
ary was mentioned during Mon-
day’s rally on the steps of the Old
Main administration building,
during which at least 200 stu-
dents were joinedby a school offi-
cial, a professor and State Col-
lege Mayor Elizabeth Goreham.
"Keep the State in Penn State,"
read a couple of handwritten
signs in the crowd.
The university is looking at all
options to make up for any fund-
ing shortfalls, including layoffs
and program cuts, though Span-
ier has said the school will try to
keep tuition increases to a mini-
mum.
Pennsylvania residents who
are freshmen or sophomores pay
about $14,400 per academic year.

KINGSTON -- Council vot-
ed Monday to approve Wyom-
ing Seminary’s proposed sub-
division request.
The consolidation plan will
combine a number of Semi-
nary-owned lots between
North Sprague, North Maple
and Chestnut avenues. The
vote came after a brief pre-
sentation by Seminary attor-
ney Rich Williams outlining
the proposal.
"It’s probably something
that should have been done
about 25 years ago," Williams
said. "The properties are bro-
ken up into all these little
parcels, and this will essen-
tially make it one big large
parcel. The change will make
it easier for future develop-
ment."
Council also approved a
resolution that enters the mu-
nicipality into a three-year
agreement with CGI Commu-
nications Inc. for business-
sponsored street banners.
Council said the banners
will promote local business-
es, enhance the image of
Kingston streets and earn
some extra money for the mu-
nicipality’s budget.
In other business, it was an-
nounced the municipality re-
ceived an additional $176,000
in grant funding that was an
extension of last year’s Third
Avenue project.
The money will be used to
construct a parking lot for the
Kingston Recreation Center
and to repave Stanley Drive.
Both projects will cost about
$190,000, leaving the munici-
pality with a remaining bill of
around $15,000.
"I think it’s well worth it to
get one street repaved and a
parking lot for $15,000," said
municipal Administrator Paul
Keating.
Both projects have a sub-
stantial completion date of
May 15.

Times Leader staff
and women toured the National
World War II, Korean Veterans
and VietnamVeterans memorials
during the daylong trip. Many of
them had never before seen the
monuments built in honor of
their service.
Norma Ritchie, 90, of Wilkes-
Barre, said she had already been
to the National World War II Me-
morial, but she said she was so
overwhelmed by it the first time
around, it deserved a second
look.
She toured the memorial Mon-
day, basking in its cascading wa-
ters and glistening fountains,
while remembering her service
during a war in which more than
405,000 military personnel died.
RitchieservedintheU.S. Army
Medical Corps as a physical ther-
apist in various base hospitals in
the United States between 1944
and 1948.
She wanted to go overseas, but
she said men were “coming back
by the boatload” by the time she
had enlisted, so her help was
needed at home.
“I was putting guys back to-
gether,” she said of her duties.
Ritchie said she witnessed “the
horrors of war,” from seeing men
return without limbs to treating
severe facial burns.
Ritchie pursued her master’s
degree after the war at Temple
University in Philadelphia, where
she met her husband – a fellow
Wilkes-Barre native – when he
came to her as a patient.
After the birth of her two chil-
dren, Ritchie put away her med-
ical gloves to take care of her
young ones. She has no regrets
about her life, including her ser-
vice in the military.
Age brings perspective
“When you get to be 90, you
tend to think a little differently,”
she said, noting her wartime ex-
periences helped shape who she
is today.
Missy Dimmitt, 39, of White
Haven, is a veteran of a different
generation – she served 21 years
intheArmyandtraveledoverseas
to Korea, Saudi Arabia, Afghanis-
tan and Iraq as a logistician.
Her 15-month-long deploy-
ments became difficult after the
birth of her son, Daniel. The 9-
year-old lived with his grand-
mother for the first four years of
his life, and Dimmitt retired last
March to spend more time with
her son.
“I wantedtocomeheretoshow
my son why mommy was away
for solong,” shesaidof takingDa-
niel on the trip.
She saidher newpassionis aid-
ing veterans in any way she can –
shewas votedas junior viceat her
local American Legion, and she’s
organizedseveral fundraisers and
drives to benefit local vets.
“I was never (at the memo-
rials) before, and it’s meaningful
for me because of the heritage,
and seeing the names of soldiers
who died to keep us safe,” she
said.

STOP IN TO SEE HOW THEY BURN!
ALLENTOWN — Federal
transportation officials demand-
ed Monday that pipeline compa-
nies speedupefforts torepair and
replace aging oil and gas lines,
saying recent deadly explosions
in Pennsylvania and California
highlight the urgent need for
safety improvements.
Transportation Secretary Ray
LaHood announced plans to
strengthen oversight of compa-
nies that operate an aging, 2.5
million-mile network of pipelines
that deliver oil and gas to the na-
tion’s homes and businesses. La-
Hood toured the ruins of a Feb. 9
pipeline explosion in Allentown
that destroyed a block of row
houses and killed five people, in-
cluding an elderly couple and a 4-
month-old boy.
Although the number of pipe-
line-relatedaccidents resultingin
serious injury or death has been
cut nearly in half over the past
two decades, LaHood said, the
Allentown blast and other recent
catastrophic explosions showed
that pipeline companies need to
do more.
Last September, a 44-year-old
gas transmission line ruptured in
San Bruno, Calif., killing eight
people, injuring dozens and leav-
ing 55 homes uninhabitable. In-
vestigators said the pipe had
flawed welds. And in Philadel-
phia in January, a gas main explo-
sion sent a 50-foot fireball into
thesky, killingautilityworker, in-
juring six people and forcing doz-
ens from their homes.
Gas companies are already le-
gally required to check pipeline
integrity in highly populated ar-
eas and make repairs where nec-
essary, but LaHood has asked ex-
ecutives at major pipelinecompa-
nies to make it a priority.
Reading-based UGI Corp. has
said that at the current pace it
could take four decades to re-
place the rest of its aging, cast-
iron pipelines, some of which are
a century old. But UGI Vice Presi-
dent Robert Beard told a state
Senate panel last month that the
explosion could accelerate the
utility’s efforts.
The Transportation Depart-
ment also plans new regulations
to strengthen reporting and in-
spection requirements and make
information about pipelines and
the safety records of operators
easily accessible to the public.
The department also seeks leg-
islation to enhance oversight of
pipeline safety —includinganin-
crease in civil penalties for viola-
tions from a maximum of
$100,000 per day to $250,000 per
day and from $1 million to $2.5
million for a series of violations
— and has asked for funding for
40 more inspectors.
Don Santa, the president and
CEO of the Interstate Natural
Gas Association of America, said
his group’s members were com-
mitted to pipeline safety and
looking forward to working with
the department.
"Last month, we formally
adopted a set of five guiding prin-
ciples for pipeline safety, includ-
ing a goal of zero incidents — a
perfect record of safety and relia-
bility for the national pipeline
system," he said in a statement.
"These guiding principles
stemmed from a recently formed
INGAA board level pipeline safe-
ty task force, which is charged
with looking at ways to improve
the industry’s safety perform-
ance.’’
Industry leaders, state officials
and others will meet April 18 in
Washington to discuss ways to
improve the nation’s pipeline in-
frastructure.
Many cast-iron pipeline sys-
tems were installed decades ago,
yet states often do not require
their timely replacement. Penn-
sylvania’s cast-iron pipes —some
of which are 80 years old — are
not requiredtobereplacedfor an-
other century.
Feds want aging pipelines repaired
Recent deadly gas explosions
in Allentown and California
bring new focus on problem.

BALTIMORE — The federal
government should conduct a
comprehensive federal analysis
of Marcellus Shale drilling in
thesixbay-watershedstates, the
Chesapeake Bay Foundation
and other environmental
groups said Monday.
The foundation said it has fil-
ed a petition under the National
Environmental Policy Act call-
ing for a review known as a pro-
grammatic environmental im-
pact statement. The petition
was signed by a number of envi-
ronmental groups and more
than 120 businesses, organiza-
tions and elected officials have
also signed a letter to the presi-
dent supporting the petition,
the bay foundation said.
Assessments are under way,
but none is comprehensive, the
groups said.
An ongoing reviewby the fed-
eral Environmental Protection
Agency, for example, deals with
the impact on drinking water,
said CBF attorney Amy McDon-
nell.
The foundation would like
one review that also takes into
account the impact on ground-
water, air pollutionandother ar-
eas, McDonnell said.
"Basically to look at every-
thing. That is what the EPA
study is going to fail to do," said
CBF attorney Amy McDonnell.
Hydraulic fracturing uses wa-
ter and chemicals to break rock
formations and free gas.
The process injects millions
of gallons of chemical-laced wa-
ter into shale thousands of feet
underground to create cracks
that release natural gas. That
has raised concerns it will con-
taminate drinking water suppli-
es, and participants in a bay
foundation teleconference said
there are also concerns about
runoff from well sites, industri-
alization of rural areas, and oth-
er issues.
The Marcellus Shale forma-
tion runs beneath western Ma-
ryland, western Virginia, Penn-
sylvania, West Virginia, New
York and Ohio.
The federal government is ob-
ligated by law to ensure drilling
won’t adversely affect human
health or the environment.
However, multiple agencies
have some authority over differ-
ent aspects of drilling, McDon-
nell said.
CBF Pennsylvania Executive
Director Matt Ehrhart noted
3,500 newpermits are expected
this year in the state with each
site covering an average of four
tosixacres. Those sites alsowill
generate thousands of trips by
trucks to and from the sites, he
noted.
How that activity affects the
pollution limits set for the six
states under the EPA’s bay resto-
ration strategy is not well
known, Ehrhart said.
Bay supporters
want shale study
Foundation files petition for
federal government to
analyze six states.

evaluated the pain relieving effectiveness of JointFlex

and dramatic result. With continued use, a majority obtained
long-term pain relief that continued to improve
throughout the entire eight-week study. But that’s not all!

The gradual and continual improvement in long-term pain relief
observed in the JointFlex clinical study was found to be consistent
with previous studies conducted with orally administered
Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate.

Pittston’s tax allocation
needs reconsideration
P
ittston has the highest tax rate in all of
Luzerne County, so where are the
services that are usually provided by
such high taxes?
Take the Riverfront Park, for example.
The city spent millions of dollars to build a
beautiful park that now is covered with
garbage, broken bottles, overgrown weeds
and grass, cracked curbs and sidewalks,
and a thriving homeless population living
in the bushes.
Maybe this could be avoided if one of
the many cops could take a patrol down
there once in awhile. It was recently re-
ported that tax money was being shelled
out for the police department: new cars,
new guns, new computers, vests, radios.
Now I am all for the police being protected
and equipped, but seemingly there is not
one other new service in Pittston that has
been provided in years, never a bulk gar-
bage pickup as you see in a lot of other
towns.
There apparently is only one councilman
right now who wants to pave streets and
try to provide other needed services for
city residents, but no one will cooperate
with him. I mentioned only a few issues,
but there are many more.
If city residents are going to struggle to
pay the city’s tax rate, then shouldn’t they
see some kind of improvement other than
on Main Street? How about helping all of
our neighborhoods, where the people
actually live? And city officials wonder
why Pittston’s population is declining so
rapidly!

Road change concerns
this Nanticoke resident
N
anticoke City Council on March 2
approved the first reading of an ordi-
nance to vacate a portion of Nanticoke
Avenue (behind the new Luzerne County
Community College Joseph A. Paglianite
Culinary Arts Institute).
At the March 16 meeting, I asked council
members to explain any positive aspects of
the road closure and whether anyone had
been informed of this decision, specifically
residents of Nanticoke Towers as well as
Hill, Coal and Slope streets. Mayor Joseph
Dougherty said a legal notice had been
placed in the newspaper.
I voiced concerns about possible im-
pacts: higher volumes of traffic, slower
emergency response times and creation of
a dead-end/one-way situation on Nanti-
coke Avenue for residents of Nanticoke
Towers.
Please attend the second and final read-
ing at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Nanticoke
Municipal Building, Ridge Street.

Wisconsin’s lead should
be Washington’s example
N
ow that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker
did the right thing, limiting the exces-
sive power of the public unions in that
state, it is time for other states to follow
his lead.
In this terrible economy, we all, includ-
ing the public-sector unions, need to share
the pain. Polls show the residents of our
great nation agree.
Walker is doing what he promised his
constituents. He is providing a solution to
his state’s fiscal problems caused by years
of Democratic rule. It is a breath of fresh
air to have an elected official do the will of
the voters!
Now we need the same thing in Wash-
ington, D.C. The Democrats have taken a
bad economy and made it significantly
worse. With massive deficits and an ob-
scene debt, these progressive liberals think
we need to spend even more. Unbeliev-
able. Where do they think we will get all
that money?
They keep saying our citizens need
benefits. But at what cost? These costs are
passed on to our unborn children.
I urge everyone to contact their repre-
sentatives in Washington and demand
fiscal responsibility. It’s a sad time for the
United States, but we can fix the problems.
Get involved; talk to your representative.
Demand they stop the excessive spend-
ing and waste. Tell them you don’t want to
live in their nanny state.

The party is over, but
liberals won’t fade away
T
he party is over, liberals. We, the pro-
viders, are busted. It is time to dis-
mantle these social programs that have
done nothing but destroy the middle class
and enrich the enablers to loot the Trea-
sury at the expense of our children.
I don’t expect you statists to go quietly
into the sunset. No, you probably will
demagogue, destroy, threaten, riot, lie, sue
and try any other scheme to claim rightful-
ly what was never yours.

Quality, affordable care is
ultimate health care goal
M
ore than one year ago, President Ba-
rack Obama signed the Patient Pro-
tection and Affordable Care Act into
law.
Designed to rein in costs and provide
health insurance coverage for millions of
uninsured Americans, the law has been
both praised and criticized. Regardless of
where you might be on the political spec-
trum, one thing we should be able to agree
upon is a common desire to continually
improve quality and make health care
more affordable.
The current payment system in Amer-
ican health care encourages higher volume
whether it is medically appropriate or not.
This leads to unnecessary tests and proce-
dures that often do not benefit patients.
Instead, payment to health care providers
should reward quality and value. High
quality almost always is associated with
better outcomes and lower costs, from
reduced complications and hospital re-
admissions to decreased emergency de-
partment visits. Changing how we care for
patients and what we pay for are the funda-
mental means to financing further in-
novation and affordable universal cov-
erage.
Everything that we do as a nation to
evolve health care must center on patients.
We have to ensure that patients receive the
right care at the right time and for the
right cost. At the same time, patients must
accept personal responsibility for their
health and well-being, and actively partner
with their providers to ensure they are
reaching optimal health.
We must continue to aspire to a health
care-delivery system that provides affor-
dable coverage for all, payment for value
rather than volume and a commitment to
best-practice, coordinated care.
It will take an ongoing, concerted effort
among physicians, hospitals and insurers
to get there. Working together, a healthier
America is within reach.
We cannot abandon our efforts until we
get there.

TUSEDTObe that anyone
couldroll uptooneof Penn-
sylvania’s 29 public shoot-
ing ranges on state game-
lands, unlimber their weapons
and start plugging away.
But as of Friday, the Pennsyl-
vania Game Commission began
requiring a $30 permit or a valid
general hunting or fur-taking li-
cense to use the ranges.
Children under age 16 may
use the ranges for free if they’re
under the supervision of an
adult who possesses a shooting
rangepermit or gamelicense. Li-
censed hunters or permit hold-
ers can bring one guest.
The Game Commission says
it imposed the shooting range
permit to offset the cost of main-
tenance and upgrades such as
leadremediation, safety barriers
andother designimprovements.
In other words, they cleaned up
all the trash and hope the per-
mits will promote more respon-
sible use.
That’s clearly the subtext to a
Game Commission webpage ex-
plaining the change. It reminds
residents that the ranges cost
about $200,000 a year to main-
tain. It flatly asks users to avoid
shootinguptheframeworkhold-
ing the backstop material, to
clean up spent cases, to remove
targets from backstops, to keep
shooting benches clean and dis-
pose of all other litter.
It’s not muchtoaskfor theser-
vice one gets, and it might avoid
permit price increases in the fu-
ture.
Overall, this is a good idea
that’s long overdue. It maintains
the service for those who need
or want it, and it promotes com-
munity and consideration
among shooters.

OTHER OPINION: SHOOTING FEE
A new range
of responsibility
L
ARRY NEWMAN IS
right, and the picture
proved it. Sunday’s
edition of The Times
Leader included a sweeping
shot of what the Wilkes-Barre
Chamber of Business & Indus-
try vice president called “our
primary postcard view”:
Wilkes-Barre as seen from the
Market Street Bridge.
The imposing rectangular
columns toppedwith
majestic eagles, the
venerable Hotel Ster-
ling to the left and
the neoclassical
Guard Center to the
right, additional
high-rises jutting up
in the distance until
the ridge of Wilkes-
Barre Mountain
catches the eye – it
all adds up to an im-
pressive picture of
Luzerne County’s largest city.
True, as the article accompa-
nying the photograph noted,
Market Street is no longer the
primary gateway to Wilkes-
Barre, as it was in the days
when U.S. Route 11 was the
main road into the Valley for
most travelers. These days, the
majorityof visitors surelycome
to the county seat from one of
Interstate 81’s three Wilkes-
Barre exits.
But as talk about the demoli-
tion of Hotel Sterling heats up
and debate about the fate of
that space is renewed, we do
well to remember this is still
the iconic portal to Wilkes-
Barre, and what happens here
has the potential to remake the
basic character of downtown.
The buildings in that photo,
along with others nearby such
as the Irem Temple, speak of a
city with a rich and eclectic
past. While we shouldnot cling
to it, we certainly should do
our best to preserve the best of
it.
But we are well served by
considering less conventional
ideas. As former chamber pres-
ident StephenBar-
rouk put it, “If we
can’t start think-
ing ahead and
thinking outside
the box about
what the possibili-
ties are, I don’t
think we will pro-
gress.”
Ideally, the Ster-
ling could be
saved and adapted
for new uses,
some of its grandeur restored.
There is irreplaceable history
there. But if it is razed, it is es-
sential any new development
be broadly discussed. There
must be no backroomdeals, no
secret maneuvering for friends
of the powerful, no rash rush to
enlist an unproven developer.
The Sterling and its neigh-
bors are the face of a communi-
ty, andthere must be a commu-
nity discussion about what
happens next. What wedowith
that space shows who we are.
Newman put it this way, and
he was right again: “It’s not
enough to simply say, ‘They
should do this and they should
do that.’ They is us. There’s no
they.”
OUR OPINION: FACE OF FUTURE
Sterling prospect
ours to develop
The Sterling and
its neighbors are
the face of a
community, and
there must be a
community
discussion about
what happens
next.

ports to make it appear as if
criminal incidents were occur-
ring there. Police also required
patrons to undergo breathalyzer
and blood-alcohol tests and had
a police dog approach custom-
ers entering and exiting the
club.
The harassment peaked on
April 30, 2009, when a contin-
gent of 30 law-enforcement
agencies, including city police
officers, deputy sheriffs, Liquor
Control Enforcement agents,
the city’s SWAT team and K-9
dogs camped outside the night-
club.
Greco alleges police focused
on The Mines, which opened in
2007 and has never had any li-
quor law violations, even
though other bars in close prox-
imity, including Senunas’ Bar &
Grille, Gonda’s Hoagies, Beer
Boys, the Hardware Bar and
Liam’s, have been cited.
A review of LCB citations by
The Times Leader shows Gon-
da’s, which is less than a block
away from The Mines, has been
cited 13 times from 1994 to
2009; Senunas’ Bar & Grille,
which is about a block away, has
been cited seven times; The
Hardware Bar, located on South
Main Street, has been sited sev-
en times from 2008 to 2010;
Liam’s on South Washington
Street has been cited four times
from2007to2009; Beer Boys on
North Washington Street has
been cited twice from 2001 to
2002.
Tax break issue
The suit also alleges the city
did not seek an extension of the
Keystone Opportunity Zone tax
breaks for several of Greco’s
properties in retaliation for his
involvement with The Mines.
In addition, Greco alleges
Leighton lobbied a state legisla-
tor to withdraw his support for
geothermal heating project in-
volving Greco. Leighton took
the action after he learned from
FBI Agent JosephNoone, whois
not named as a defendant, that
Greco was under investigation.
The suit does not specify the
case, but Greco pleaded guilty
last year to failing to disclose
that former county Commis-
sioner Greg Skrepenak coerced
him into buying multiple televi-
sions for Big Ugly’s, which was
owned by Skrepenak’s father.
The suit seeks unspecified
compensatory and punitive
damages against all defendants
for alleged violations of Greco’s
right to due process.
cused of unfairly targeting his
businesses for enforcement ac-
tion by city offices and police.
In February, Greco revealed
he wrote to U.S. Attorney Peter
J. Smith to advise him an FBI
agent told Greco he was the vic-
tim of a “shakedown” by city of-
ficials, who required him to pay
$350 to have firefighters present
at anevent at TheMines. Theof-
fice investigated and deter-
mined there was no wrongdo-
ing.
Greco also complained in
March that another building he
owns that houses a bar and res-
taurant was subjected to more
stringent inspection in order to
open. Leighton previously de-
nied that allegation.
The federal lawsuit, filed by
attorney Harry Kresky, names
the city, Leighton, Police Chief
Gerry Dessoye and several
council members and city em-
ployees as defendants. It also
names King’s College President
the Rev. Thomas J. O’Hara and
several college employees, as
well as former Luzerne County
Sheriff Michael Savokinas.
Drew McLaughlin, spokes-
man for the city, declined com-
ment on the suit, as did John
McAndrew, spokesman for
King’s. Savokinas could not be
reached for comment.
Suit: Minorities targeted
The suit alleges the city tar-
geted The Mines, whose pa-
trons consisted of 30-40 percent
blacks and Latinos, for addition-
al scrutiny as part of a pattern of
discriminatory enforcement
practices against business that
serve a predominantly minority
clientele. Other bars previously
targeted included the Airy Tav-
ern, Chu’s, Desi’s Pizza, Gor-
die’s, Tom & Eva’s and the
Whitehouse Café, the suit says.
According to the suit:
InApril 2009O’Hara toldGre-
co that parents of King’s stu-
dents were threatening to take
their children out of the college
unless some action was taken
against The Mines.
That same month the college
sent ane-mail tostudents, advis-
ing them of “problems” at The
Mines and inviting themto a fo-
rum to discuss how to file com-
plaints with the Liquor Control
Board.
Leighton and Dessoye met
with O’Hara shortly thereafter.
Beginning on April 16, 2009, the
city began a campaign to harass

which was rescheduled from
March because of scheduling con-
flict and moved to the Dallas Mid-
dle School auditorium to accom-
modate an anticipated huge pub-
lic turnout, began with more di-
rect testimony from Wurfel to
address amendments to the origi-
nal application.
Wurfel said Chief officials lis-
tened to concerns of state legisla-
tors, local officials and residents
who objected to plans for a com-
pressor station so close to the
schools and decided the company
does not need a compressor sta-
tion within three miles of the
schools and possibly not even in
Luzerne County.
However, Wurfel said, a meter-
ing station is needed in the town-
ship so that the natural gas can be
delivered to the Transco pipeline
that runs through the township
and ultimately delivered to mar-
ket.
Township zoning officer Leo-
nard Kozick has said the Transco
pipeline runs through the proper-
tyinChief’s proposedmeteringfa-
cility location as well as through a
nearby property on which Wil-
liams Field Services also has ap-
plied to build a metering station.
Under questioning from Chief
attorney Jeffrey Yelen, Wurfel tes-
tified about the facilities that
would be located at the site. He
said there would be no chemicals
at the site other than natural gas
and mercaptan, a chemical added
to natural gas to give it a rotten-
eggodor sogas leaks areeasilyde-
tectable.
Wurfel classifiedmercaptanasa
“harmless, non-toxic chemical,”
and said the combustion device
would be used for about five min-
utes each month to burn off the
chemical when it became neces-
sary to lower built-up pressure in
the tank.
After Wurfel finished his testi-
mony, resident JoeCiganobjected
on a procedural issue, saying
Chief had not produced exhibits
for display at the municipal build-
ing as directed by the zoning
board.
Yelen said many of the materi-
als were irrelevant and there was
no official list of items used in di-
rect testimony.
CigansaidChief has the burden
of proof to itemize the exhibits
and provide themto the board.
Attorney Earl Phillips, repre-
senting Robert Friedman, who
lives near the site on Wyoming
Road, began cross-examining
Wurfel on Chief’s environmental
safety record, pointing out a
$34,000 fine issued by the state
Department of Environmental
Protection in January for the re-
leaseof glycol at acompressor sta-
tion in Lycoming County.
Phillips and Yelen wrangled
about Phillips’ questions about
whether thezoningapplicationin-
cluded permission to install a
pipeline at the site.
And while Wurfel testified that
natural gas and mercaptan are
flammable and ignitable, he said
classifying them as hazardous
substances would depend on a va-
riety of legal definitions.
Attorney Jack Dean, whom the
school district retained as special
counsel for the application proc-
ess, questioned Wurfel on his cur-
riculumvitae and objected to him
being qualified as an expert.
Zoning board solicitor Philip
Gelso said the board would make
a determination on the objection
at a later time.
Dean continued questioning
Wurfel on the January fine from
DEPand tried to get Wurfel to ad-
mit that he hid unfavorable infor-
mationabout Chief’s environmen-
tal record from the board at the
previous hearing. Wurfel said he
didn’t find it necessary to testify
about that violation or others.
Dean also asked Wurfel if he
“hid the fact that there is a pipe-
line in the application,” because
the word pipeline was not men-
tioned in the application.
Wurfel said he did not.
Deancontinuedaskingdetailed
questions about the facilities
planned for the site, such as
whether there would be leak de-
tectors in metering buildings and
whether “slam-shut valves” would
be used.
Wurfel said there would be leak
detectors in the buildings and he
didn’t know what slam-shut
valves were. He said Chief’s oper-
ations manager couldanswer that
questionandother technical ques-
tions that he could not.
Just after 9 p.m., Gelso an-
nounced the hearing would be
continued to a later date that
would be advertised, as Dean said
he had many more questions for
Wurfel.

ALL THE EXCIT-
MENT and antici-
pation of the first
start of a new
baseball season
for Phil Hughes
was gone faster
than the second
two-run homer against himleft new
Yankee Stadium.
In the third inning.
Was it a one-blip wonder?
Or do the NewYork Yankees have
reason to wonder about a guy they
were counting on to solidify their al-
ready-shaky starting rotation?
Their hierarchy insists not.
“It’s still early,” Yankees manager
Joe Girardi shrugged. “Sometimes,
guys who throwa little harder take a
little longer to get going.”
Hughes seems to be taking an
eternity.
He didn’t have such a spectacular
spring training, wrapping up camp
witha1-0recordbut withamediocre
4.09ERA. ThenHughes came out of
the gates onthe openingweekendof
the season Sunday throwing fast-
balls that fizzled.
“I was at 90 (mph) in the first in-
ning. I’d like to be around 93,”
Hughes said.
Dropping just a little speed can
make a world of difference. Just as
Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera,
whodrilledapair of two-runhomers
off Hughes as the Tigers scored five
runs in three innings against him.
That those blasts came on break-
ing pitches was no matter, because
thefastballsHughesdidthrowmost-
ly missed their mark – when they
weren’t being stroked for singles.
“It’s tough,” Hughes said. “You
want to get off to a great start, give
us achancetowin. It’s disheartening
when you don’t get off to a good
start.”
Atale of two seasons
His start to last season was terrif-
ic.
Hughes won his first 10 decisions
on his way to an18-8 record, and his
breakout big league season earned
hima trip to his first All-Star Game.
He wasn’t supposed to be watch-
ing opponents take so many trips
around the bases, it started to look
like a Tigers parade.
“Obviously, my velocity wasn’t
what I’d like it to be at this stage of
theseason,” Hughessaid. “I’mthink-
ing it’s more of an arm strength
thing.”
He certainly didn’t look like a
strength of New York’s starting
pitching staff.
Hughes was quick to say he’s not
hurt, that thearmstrengthissuewill
disappear quicklyastimeticksoff to-
ward a point where he builds his en-
durance back up.
But if it lingers, the Yankees play-
off plans may go up in smoke.
Because Hughes and staff ace CC
Sabathia are the only starting pitch-
ers that truly fire up the Yankees.
They never knowwhat they’re go-
ingtoget fromonestart tonext with
A.J. Burnett. And the back end of
NewYork’s rotation is filled by ques-
tion marks Ivan Nova, a mainstay at
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last year,
and rickety old Freddie Garcia.
The Yankees need Hughes to be
sturdy for themthis year.
Instead, he openedthe gates look-
ing shaky, throwing little more than
half of his 90 pitches in five innings
for strikes.
Now that’s something to get
alarmed about, whether it’s early,
late, or in the middle of the season.
“I’m more concerned about guys
locating the ball,” Girardi said.
“That’s the key. And he (Hughes)
didn’t do that.”
What Hughes did do is cause
some consternation among Yankee
fans. TheycametoseeHughes fulfill
the promise he began showing last
year. Instead, caused worry those
hopes will flop.

HOUSTON — With every brick
launched by Butler Monday night in
cavernous Reliant Stadium, Connecti-
cut built a lead and control of the
NCAA final, finishing a comeback from
its middling Big East regular-season
status to national champion.
The Huskies’ defense completely
shut out the Bulldogs’ inside game,
forcing their opponents to unsuccess-
fully launch from the perimeter, and
their offense warmed up in the second
half, propelling UConn to a 53-41 victo-
ry and giving head coach Jim Calhoun
his third national championship.
The Huskies (32-9), who won their
last 11 games after struggling at the
end of the Big East regular season,
won their first title since 2004. They
also won in 1999, giving the 68-year-
old Calhoun three, more than any
coach except John Wooden, Adolph
Rupp, Mike Krzyzewski, and Bob
Knight.

NEW YORK — Alex Rodri-
guez and Jorge Posada both hit
a two-run homer, rookie Ivan
Nova kept New York ahead and
the Yankees made it another
tough visit for Minnesota, beat-
ing the Twins 4-3 Monday
night.
Joba Chamberlain, Rafael
Soriano and Mariano Rivera
each pitched a scoreless inning
to close the Yankees’ 15th victo-
ry in their last 16 home tries
against Minnesota — that in-
cludes wins in New York’s open-
ing-round playoff sweeps over
the Twins the last two years.
Rodriguez lined his 615th
career homer in the first, then
Posada connected the next
inning for his third home run in
two days. At 39 and now a
full-time designated hitter,
Posada seems to have adjusted
nicely to his new role.
The shots off Scott Baker
(0-1) gave the Yankees 11 home
runs through their first four
games, and once again the long
balls gave them a lead they
could hold.
Nova (1-0) earned the No. 4
spot in the rotation with an
exceptional spring and pitched
six effective innings in his sea-
son debut. The right-hander
started out like a poised vet,
striking out leadoff man Denard
Span on three pitches.
Nova held the Twins hitless
until Justin Morneau doubled
in the fourth. Jim Thome lined
a two-run double later in the
inning — it was the first hit of
the year for the 40-year-old DH,
now in his 21st season.
Orioles 5, Tigers 1
BALTIMORE — Brian Ro-
berts hit a three-run homer,
Jake Arrieta allowed one run in
six innings and the unbeaten
Baltimore Orioles thrilled a
sellout crowd in their home
opener by defeating the Detroit
Tigers.
On a gorgeous afternoon at
Camden Yards, the Orioles
extended a surprising winning
streak that began with a three-
game sweep at Tampa Bay. Off
to its best start since 1997,
Baltimore (4-0) has not yet
trailed, hasn’t given up more
than one run in a game and has
outscored the competition 17-4.
With the score tied 1-1 in the
fifth, Felix Pie walked and went
to third on a double by J.J.
Hardy before Roberts hit a 1-2
pitch from Rick Porcello (0-1)
over the wall in right-center.
Roberts has Baltimore’s only
two home runs this season.
Nick Markakis followed with
his third hit, a double, and Matt
Wieters delivered a two-out RBI
single for a 5-1 lead.
Arrieta (1-0) gave up six hits,
walked two and struck out
three. Orioles starters have
allowed two runs in 26 innings,
a 0.69 ERA.
Jason Berken followed with
two innings of one-hit relief and
Koji Uehara pitched the ninth.
Will Rhymes drove in the
lone run for the Tigers, who
arrived after dropping two of
three at Yankee Stadium. De-
troit doesn’t begin the home
portion of its schedule until
Friday.
Porcello yielded five runs,
nine hits and a walk in five
innings.
Rangers 6, Mariners 4
ARLINGTON, Texas — Nel-
son Cruz became the third
player in major league history
to homer in the first four games
of a season, Derek Holland
pitched six effective innings
and the Texas Rangers re-
mained one of four unbeaten
teams with a victory over the
Seattle Mariners.
Texas (4-0) is off to its best
start since opening 7-0 in 1996,
following up a three-game
weekend sweep of Boston.
Baltimore (4-0), Philadelphia
and Cincinnati (both 3-0) are
the other undefeated teams.
Cruz joined Willie Mays
(1971) and Mark McGwire
(1998) as the only players to go
deep in each of their first four
games of a season.
Holland (1-0) was given the
No. 4 spot in the rotation out of
spring training and he cement-
ed his role by allowing three
runs and seven hits with five
strikeouts and one walk.

MILWAUKEE — Martin
Prado and Dan Uggla homered
off Takashi Saito in the eighth
inning, rallying the Atlanta
Braves to a 2-1 victory and
spoiling the Milwaukee Brew-
ers’ home opener on Monday.
Before the homers by Prado
and Uggla, the Braves failed to
muster much offensive support
for starter Brandon Beachy,
who gave up four hits, includ-
ing Rickie Weeks’ homer, in six
innings while striking out sev-
en.
Weeks continued his impres-
sive start for winless Milwau-
kee with his third homer of the
season leading off the third. It
was the continuation of an ugly
start to the season for the Brew-
ers, who were swept in a three-
game series at Cincinnati.
Peter Moylan (1-0) got three
outs to get the victory, and
Craig Kimbrel struck out the
side in the ninth for his second
save.
Prado tied it with his leadoff
drive in the eighth. Saito (0-1)
struck out Nate McLouth and
got Chipper Jones to ground
out before Uggla hit a deep fly
ball to left-center that hit off the
top of the wall and bounced
over for a homer.
Ryan Braun had a one-out
single in the eighth, but Prince
Fielder hit into a double play to
end the inning.
Milwaukee squandered a
strong outing by Chris Narve-
son, who struck out five in six
sparkling inning. The left-hand-
er allowed only three singles
and three walks — and he
picked off one of those baserun-
ners, McLouth, in the first.
Beachy, who made three
starts last season, won a spot in
the Braves’ rotation with a
strong performance in spring
training. He got into trouble in
the first, but Casey McGehee
flied out with runners on first
and second to end the inning.
Weeks put the Brewers in
front in the third, hitting a 2-1
pitch from Beachy deep to left.
Cubs 4, Diamondbacks 1
CHICAGO — Randy Wells
overcame a shaky start to pitch
six solid innings, Kerry Wood
escaped a bases-loaded jam in
the eighth and the Chicago
Cubs got a home run from
Alfonso Soriano in a victory
over the Arizona Diamond-
backs.
Wells (1-0), hoping to regain
the form of his 2009 rookie
season, outpitched Diamond-
backs left-hander Joe Saunders
(0-1) on an overcast afternoon
at Wrigley Field.
Willie Bloomquist hit his first
career leadoff homer to give
Arizona a quick lead against
Wells, who won the fourth spot
in the Cubs’ rotation with a
strong spring. The right-hander
struggled through an 8-14 sea-
son with a 4.26 ERA a year ago
after going 12-10 with a 3.05
ERA in 2009.
Kelly Johnson followed
Bloomquist’s homer with a
single and stole second with
two outs before Wells struck
out Chris Young. Wells allowed
six hits with four walks and six
strikeouts.
Pirates 4, Cardinals 3
ST. LOUIS — Charlie Mor-
ton won his first road game
since the end of 2009 in a 47-
degree chill and the Pittsburgh
Pirates stunned Kyle Lohse
with a four-run sixth inning in a
victory.
In a span of four pitches,
Lohse (0-1) issued his first walk
all year, then allowed Neil Walk-
er’s two-run double and Andrew
McCutchen’s second homer to
put Pittsburgh ahead 4-1.
Joel Hanrahan got four outs
to preserve a one-run lead for
his third save in three chances
for the Pirates, who are 3-1 on
the road to start the year after
going a major league-worst
17-64 away from home last
season.
The Cardinals were 1 for 9
with runners in scoring position
and 2 for 16 with men on base
against Morton (1-0) and four
relievers.

for Coughlin on Monday in the
WVC opener for both teams – a
matchup of district runners-up
from a year ago.
Gulius, a junior catcher, fin-
ished 2-for-4 with three RBI, add-
ing a run-scoring single in the
first inning. But it was his heroics
with two outs in the bottom of
the seventh that sent the home
bench streaming onto the field to
mob him at home plate.
“Our catcher, if you saw how
hard he worked in the offseason
… I mean, that (homer) was no
accident,” Rodzinak said. “He
drilled one earlier, too, that was
caught. He really worked hard
and brought his game up to this
level. I’m proud of the kid.”
Just amoment earlier, it looked
like the Crusaders (1-0) were
headed for another tough loss to
Redeemer to open the season.
The Royals (0-1) had pulled out a
2-0 win to start things off last
year, as pitcher Ted Ritsick
tossed a three-hitter.
Ritsick was on the mound
again Monday, scattering eight
hits in six innings of work. Senior
slugger Steve Ruch had Redeem-
er in line for the win when he un-
corked a two-run homer to left-
center in the top of the fifth that
put the Royals up 4-3.
“On a day like today, for those
kids to hit home runs, it shows
some of the power that they’ve
got,” Royals coach Chris Ritsick
said. “Steve’s just a pure power
hitter. Whenhe turns ona ball, he
gets all of it.”
Ruch, who topped Division I of
the WVC last season in home
runs and RBI, reached base on all
three trips to the plate Monday,
knocking in a run with a first-in-
ning single and drawing a walk in
the third.
Ted Ritsick made it 2-0 in the
first with a sacrifice fly, but
Coughlinansweredinthebottom
of the frame with RBI knocks by
Gulius and Grillini. Joey Parsnik
scored on a wild pitch to make it
3-2 after one.
“The first inning, everybody
was a little nervous,” Rodzinak
said. “After that, everybody got
downtobusiness andtheyplayed
well.”
That included Coughlin senior
Bob Sorokas, who went the dis-
tance on the mound, striking out
eight while allowing six hits.
Sorokas’ performance was a
good sign for the Crusaders, who
are looking for a steady No. 2
pitcher behind their ace, Grillini,
aBinghamtonrecruit. Sorokas al-
so added two hits at the plate.
“It’s sad that there had to be a
loser in this game,” Rodzinak
said. “I feel for them. Ritsick
pitched his heart out. He had a
rough first inning, but then he
just tookover. He was tough. And
we couldn’t ask for more out of
Bobby Sorokas.
“What a well-pitched game by
both pitchers. It’s sad that one
team had to lose. It really is.”

WOODLAWN, Md. — One of
the hundreds of high school stu-
dents attending an assembly
Mondayabout the dangers of per-
formance-enhancing substances
wanted NFL Commissioner Rog-
er Goodell to answer this ques-
tion:
Why is there more drug use in
baseball than football?
Goodell began his response
this way: “I’m not sure that’s
true.”
While making sure to empha-
size that he believes the NFL’s
drug-testing program is a strong
one, Goodell acknowledged that
it can be improved, and he said
the league will insist that its next
labor deal with players — when-
ever there is one —includes test-
ing for human growth hormone.
“We’d be naive to think that
people aren’t trying to cheat the
system. But we have to have the
best testing programto be able to
offset that,” Goodell told report-
ers after joining Rep. Elijah Cum-
mings, a Maryland Democrat, to
speak to area students at Wood-
lawn High School in Baltimore
County.
“I made it clear to the kids in
the roomtoday that the integrity
of theNFLis critical, andweneed
to make sure we’re doing every-
thing possible to have the best
drug programin sports,” Goodell
said. “Makingchanges toour pro-
gramis critical and we have done
that over the years. We needtodo
more, including the inclusion of
HGHtesting.”
Preventing athletes fromusing
HGHis considereda key target in
the anti-doping movement. The
substance is hard to detect, and
athletes are believed to choose
HGH for a variety of benefits,
whether they be real or only per-
ceived — including increasing
speed and improving vision.
HGH use is prohibited by the
NFL, but the league’s old collec-
tive bargaining agreement did
not have testing for it. Goodell
said he thinks players “recognize
the importance of” adding HGH
tests.
NFL Players Association
spokesman George Atallah de-
clined to comment Monday. The
NFLPA has opposed blood tests
in the past but did say last sum-
mer it wouldbe opento hearing a
proposal from the league during
CBA talks. Goodell said Monday
HGH was “part of a broader pro-
posal on where we go with our
drug program.”
CBA negotiations broke off
March 11, and the old deal ex-
pired. The NFLPA said it would
nolonger functionas aunion, and
a group of players filed a class-ac-
tion antitrust lawsuit in federal
court in Minnesota. The owners
then locked out the players. A
hearing is scheduled for Wednes-
day on the players’ request for a
preliminary injunction to lift the
lockout.
Goodell wouldn’t say whether
he’s optimistic about what will
happen in court.
“We’re going to present our
case, and the judge will make
their decision from there,” he
said.
Asked whether owners have
decided under what rules the
league would operate if the in-
junction is granted, Goodell said:
“We’re prepared for every out-
come. I canpromiseyouthat. And
we don’t believe this is an issue
that should be decided in court.
This is anissue that shouldbe de-
cided at the bargaining table. We
have to get back to that bargain-
ing table, no matter what the out-
come of litigation is.”
Cummings, the top Democrat
on the House Committee on
Oversight and Government Re-
form, said he talked briefly to
Goodell about the NFL lockout.
“The players and the owners
havegot tounderstandthat this is
bigger than them, and that we’ve
got alot of folks whoarespending
their hard-earneddollars tocome
and watch football games, and
many of them struggle for those
dollars, and there are a lot of peo-
ple out work,” Cummings said. “I
would hope that Congress would
not have to get involved in this. ...
That is not somethingI wouldad-
vocate for. We have enough prob-
lems we’re dealing with, as it is.”

VEVAY, Ind. — Kansas City li-
nebacker Mike Vrabel was arrest-
ed Monday and charged with
theft from a riverboat casino.
The Switzerland County sher-
iff’s depart-
ment said Vra-
bel, 35, was ar-
rested at 5:30
a.m. and re-
leased about
five hours later
on $600 cash
bond. He was
charged with a
class D felony.
“It was an unfortunate misun-
derstanding, and I take full re-
sponsibility for the miscommuni-
cation,” Vrabel said in a state-
ment issued through his agent. “I
feel comfortable that after talk-
ing with the appropriate parties,
we will resolve this matter.”
The incident happened at the
Belterra Casino in Florence, Ind.
A call to the security department
of the casino was not immediate-
ly returned.
Vrabel, a three-time Super
Bowl winner with the New En-
glandPatriots, is a member of the
NFLPAexecutive committee and
one of the plaintiffs inthe players’
antitrust lawsuit against the
NFL. He is supposedtoappear on
Wednesday in Minneapolis in a
hearing in federal court in the
lawsuit.
Vrabel was traded from the Pa-
triots to the Chiefs before the
2009 season and was a starter on
the teamlast season that won the
AFC West title.
“We are aware of the reports re-
garding Mike Vrabel, but we are
not permitted to have contact
with Mike at this time,” the
Chiefs said in a statement. “We
understand that Mike has com-
municated publicly that the mat-
ter is a misunderstanding for
whichhe takes full responsibility.
We hope it is resolved for Mike in
a positive way.”

AUGUSTA, Ga. — A green
jacket defined the golden era of
European golf.
For the better part of two dec-
ades, Europeans seemed to have
part-ownership of Augusta Na-
tional bywinningthe Masters six
times ina seven-year stretch, and
11 times in the 1980s and 1990s.
Seve Ballesteros was the first Eu-
ropean in a green jacket. Nick
Faldo won three times. Balleste-
ros, Bernhard Langer and Jose
Maria Olazabal each won twice.
Perhaps it was only fitting that
when the world ranking made its
debut in1986 at the Masters, the
top three were Europeans.
“It would be nice to recreate
some of that magic,” Justin Rose
said Monday under the large oak
tree next tothe Augusta National
clubhouse. “And I think this is as
good a time as any.”
On paper, European golf has
never been stronger.
They have won two of the last
three majors — Martin Kaymer
in a playoff at the PGA Cham-
pionship, Graeme McDowell at
Pebble Beach in the U.S. Open.
Padraig Harrington was the last
player to win successive majors,
at the end of 2008.
And then there’s the world
ranking.
Europewouldhavehadthetop
five spots except for Phil Mickel-
son winning the Houston Open
to go to No. 3. As it is, Kaymer
and Westwood are Nos. 1 and 2,
with Luke Donald, McDowell
and Paul Casey at Nos. 4-5-6. Ti-
ger Woods is at No. 7.
About the only thing missing
from this new era of European
dominance is a green jacket.
“It’s been too long,” said Ian
Poulter, among those deter-
mined to change this trend.
“There’s more guys with more
chances.”
Olazabal was the last Europe-
an to win the Masters, holding
off Greg Norman in the final
roundin1999. Ayear later, noEu-
ropeans wereamongthetop10at
the Masters, and none came par-
ticularly close to winning except
for Westwood last year when he
was runner-up by three shots to
Mickelson.
Europe now seems more
poised than ever.
In the middle of that great Eu-
ropean run from two decades
ago, they had four of the top10 in
the world. Now there are six Eu-
ropeans in the top10, and nine of
the top 20.
“If you look at the guys who
compete week in and week out,
we’ve got more now than what
we had 15 years ago,” Poulter
said. “There’s definitely more of
a chancenow. But you’vegot a lot
of goodplayers togoupagain. Ti-
ger andPhil have wonquite a few
of these jackets over the last few
years.”
Woods and Mickelson have
combinedto winsix of the last 10
times at the Masters, although
it’s Mickelson who comes into
the first major as the biggest fa-
vorite. Not onlyis hethedefining
champion, Mickelson made 18
birdies on the weekend to win in
Houston.
For a tournament that had
lacked a clear favorite, it has one
now.
“It seems that everyone has
pretty muchgot Mickelsoninthe
green jacket Sunday evening and
there’s not much use in turning
up at this point,” McDowell said
with a grin. “He’s a great player
around Augusta, and if you finish
ahead of him, you’ve got a decent
chance.”

the world rankings hail from

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It’s
easytosit onthecouchandlist all
thethings youwouldhavedoneif
you’d been driving Dale Earn-
hardt Jr.’s car over the final few
laps at Martinsville Speedway.
Of course, mostof usdon’thave
the slightest idea how to drive a
race car, let alone maneuver it
around a tricky paperclip-shaped
short track with Kevin Harvick
bearing down on the bumper.
Andnobodyhasanyideawhat it’s
like to be Earnhardt, who must
balance the life of luxury he’s cre-
ated as NASCAR’s most popular
driver with the burden of being
thesonof aseven-timechampion.
Toss in his failure to win a
championship, a losing streak
that’s closing in on three years
and constant questions about his
ability, confidence and desire,
and, well, it becomes pretty diffi-
cult to figure out just what Earn-
hardtshouldhavedoneSundayat
Martinsville.
Thefact it, he’s probablyalittle
rusty when it comes to closing
out victories. His last one at the
Sprint Cup level was at Michigan
in June, 2008, and although he
flirtedwiththe wininthe closing
laps of last year’s Daytona500, he
was chasingsomeone else for the
trophy.
It’s been a long time, though,
sincehe’s hadtodoanydefensive
driving. Nobodyissayinghe’sfor-
gotten how to protect a lead late
inarace, but it’snever aseasyasit
looks on TV, and it certainly
wasn’t for Earnhardt onSunday.
Stuckina98-racelosingstreak,
in a car that was probably only
good for a top-10 finish, he sud-
denlyfoundhimself inpositionto
race for the win. Crewchief Steve
Letarte’sstrategyandsomelucky
breaks put himright behind Kyle
Busch racing for the win late in
Sunday’s race.
Nobody would have been sur-
prisedif EarnhardthadrunBusch
over to knock himout of his way.
After all, Busch has had the last
laugh in16 visits to Victory Lane
since Rick Hendrick fired him to
make roomfor Earnhardt at Hen-
drick Motorsports. All those
Busch wins have had to embar-
rass Earnhardt just a little as he
floated around the middle of the
pack eachweek.
But Earnhardt didn’t wreck
him. Heinsteadpatientlyworked
his way onto Busch’s rear bum-
per, and gave him a little nudge
whenit was time totake the lead.
Was it out of bounds? Absolutely
not, andBuschsaidso himself.
“I was holdinghimup, soit was
good for him,” Busch said. “He
took the lead. No harm, no foul.”
Only Earnhardt knows what
was going through his mind with
that long-overdue victory finally
in sight. All he’s heard for three
years is how NASCAR’s success
depends onhim, andif Earnhardt
waswinningagain, thenjust may-
be the television ratings and at-
tendance problems would be
solved.
Andthat rabidfanbase, so pas-
sionateinitssupport of theprodi-
gal son, hasliterallybeenstarving
for just a smidgenof success.
Alas, there was lapped traffic
out hisfront windshield, andHar-
vick closing quickly in his rear-
view mirror. His car, remember,
was never considered a conten-
der for this win, and holding off
Harvick was going to be an unbe-
lievable challenge.
Maybe he should have forced
Harvick to move him out of the
way. But he didn’t, and Harvick,
with a faster car, earned it with a
solid pass. Then he got back on
Harvick’s bumper for one last
shot at it, and maybe he should
have wrecked Harvick to take
back the win.
Hedidn’t, though, andhiscrew
chief saidthat was theright thing
to do.
“Youcan’t bumpaguywhojust
ran you down from straightaway
back and passed you,” Letarte
said Monday. “We took it on the
chin and understood we were
probably a third- or fourth-place
car that came home second. And
that was all Dale Jr. at the end. I
think a lot of people in the sport
kind of wrote him off. He hasn’t
forgotten how to drive, he hasn’t
lost the desire.”

He was also the Wyoming Valley
Conference Division II MVP and
The Times Leader Player of the
Year once again.
Alexis was the only WVCplay-
er to receive all-state recogni-
tion. Three players from the
Lackawanna Conference were
selected. Scranton junior Terry
Turner earned Class 4A second-
team honors. Riverside junior
Jerry Kincel was a Class 2A sec-
ond-team selection, while team-
mate senior Tommy Armillay
earned third-team honors.
Alexis led the entire WVC in
scoring with a 20.5 average as he
helped the Royals to the divi-
sional title and the school’s first
District 2 Class 3A champion-
ship in its four-year existence.
He also led the WVC in field
goals with 112 and points with
267.
Alexis also shot 41-of-65 (63
percent) from the foul line dur-
ing the WVCseason. He scoreda
season-high 38 points against
Hazleton Area.
“I always have to give every-
thing I have to (my team-
mates),” Alexis said, “because,
honestly, they’re the reason I get
those sort of things. They throw
me the passes so I could score.
They make my job much easier.”
The strong play continued in
the postseason as Alexis scored
20 points, including the 2,000th
of his career, against Danville in
the opening round of the PIAA
Class 3A tournament. He then
added 26, despite sitting out a
quarter because of foul trouble,
as Redeemer became the first
District 2 team to defeat a Dis-
trict 12 team by topping PET
Charter.
Alexis’ Redeemer career, in
which he also grabbed over
1,000 rebounds, ended with a
loss to Lancaster Catholic in the
state quarterfinals. He nearly
pulled off a unique triple-dou-
ble, scoring 24 points, recording
13 rebounds and blocking nine
shots.

INDIANAPOLIS — Already
packed with one surprise after
another, the NCAA women’s
tournament has one big dose of
intrigue left when Notre Dame
and Texas A&M play for the
championship.
The traditional powers —
Tennessee, Connecticut, Stan-
ford—are all gone, only the sec-
ond time ever the title game
won’t have a No. 1seed in it. But
there’s a budding star in Irish
standout Skylar Diggins, a new
participant in the Aggies and an
entertaining, outspoken coach
in Texas A&M’s Gary Blair.
“It’s goodtosee twonewfaces
in the Final Four championship
game,” Blair said. “It’s good for
the game of basketball right
now. Don’t take anything away
fromwhat Pat and Geno and Ta-
ra have accomplished. For our
sport to grow we need Texas
A&M and Notre Dame in this
game.”
The two schools, better
known for their play on the gri-
diron, will take the grandest
stage in women’s basketball to-
night in one of the biggest sur-
prise finals in NCAA tourna-
ment history — even though
both are No. 2 seeds.
“Somebody said only one per-
son predicted that it was going
to be an A&M-Notre Dame
matchup out of all the millions
of people who do a bracket,”
Texas A&M guard Sydney Col-
son said. “I think the fact there
have been these upsets is really
helping out with women’s bas-
ketball. I thinkit will get someof
those top-name girls to branch
out to other schools and realize
it’s not just UConn and Stanford
and Tennessee that can win na-
tional championships.”
Diggins was one of those
girls. ShegrewupinSouthBend
and was a diehard Irish fan who
cheered them on as they won
their only national champion-
ship in 2001.
“I was there, hands on the
TV,” saidDiggins, whowas10 at
the time. “If they lost I’d have
been crushed.”
Now the dynamic sophomore
guard has a chance to complete
one of the most remarkable runs
in NCAA tournament history.
Diggins led the Irish to back-
to-back victories over two Irish
nemeses, Tennessee and Con-
necticut —the first time a team
has ever beaten those two jug-
gernauts in the same NCAA
tournament. Amazingly, it’s on-
ly happened eight times during
the same regular season, ac-
cording to STATS LLC.
“It’s awesome,” Diggins said.
“This teamis veryproudof itself
and we’re not done yet.”
There are a lot of similarities
between that last title run and
this one. Notre Dame also beat
UConn in the Final Four after
losing to them in the Big East
tournament championship
game. The Irish’s starting point
guard, Niele Ivey, was a third
team All-America like Diggins
was this season.

HOUSTON — The Butler bandwagon
keeps on growing, and it’s being driven by a
guy with four paws and fur.
Blue 2, Butler’s roly-poly English bulldog
mascot, has picked up almost 1,000 new
followers on Twitter since Saturday’s victo-
ry over VCU that earned the Bulldogs a spot
in their second straight national title game.
His photo page on Flickr drew a whopping
82,000 viewers Sunday, 25,000 more than
his previous high, set Friday after he arrived
in Houston.
“It’s crazy. It’s spreading like wildfire,”
said Michael Kaltenmark, Butler’s director
of web marketing and communications and
Blue’s master. “People are saying, ‘How can
you not root for Butler with that dog?’ I love
it. I’m happy for Butler, and I’m happy for
Blue.”
Blue became something of a celebrity
during last year’s Final Four, and the (pup-
py) lovefest has only continued to grow,
thanks to Kaltenmark’s use of social media.
Blue tweets, posts pictures, has a Face-
book page and, when he’s in Indianapolis,
has a webcam so people can keep an eye on
him in Kaltenmark’s office.
The attention this year has astounded
Kaltenmark. Blue has visited the Johnson
Space Center, been on CBS’ “The Early
Show” twice, hobnobbed with Charles Bar-
kley, and made appearances on just about
every TV station in Houston and Indianapo-
lis. He’s also posed for countless pictures
and been petted by anyone who can get a
hand on him.
CAREFUL KEMBA
UConn star Kemba Walker took a mo-
ment to admire the Bob Cousy Award he
earned as the nation’s top point guard on
Monday morning, but forgive him if he
didn’t pick it up.
With the national championship game
against Butler on Monday night, there was
no chance coach Jim Calhoun was going to
risk his team’s unquestioned leader pulling
a Ty Lawson.
The former North Carolina point guard
won the same award two years ago but
tweaked his back when he lifted the hefty
trophy to pose for pictures. The incident
forced Lawson to undergo treatment in the
hours leading up to Tar Heels’ showdown
with Michigan State in the title game.
Besides, the trophy itself isn’t as impor-
tant to Walker as having his name associ-
ated with Cousy. Walker arrived on campus
three seasons ago as a raw talent without a
consistent jump shot or much experience
running an offense. Now he’s the best point
guard in the country.
BUSH’S SECOND PICK
President George H.W. Bush’s pick to win
the national title fizzled with Kentucky’s
loss to Connecticut in the national semi-
finals.
Now, he’s got a new favorite.
“Butler — because their cheerleaders
were nice to me,” Bush joked.
The 41st president did get plenty of atten-
tion from the cheerleaders during the VCU
game Saturday — they surrounded him to
pose for a picture — but that’s not why he
picked Butler.
“Just look at the way they play. They’re
fighters,” said Bush, who’s a bit feisty him-
self.
Bush and his wife, Barbara, live in the
Houston area most of the year and have
taken in both days of the Final Four.

Butler’s mascot Blue 2 was at the college
basketball championship Monday night.
Villanova in 1985) to win a na-
tional championship, the loss
marked its second straight disap-
pointing end to a season. The
Bulldogs lost to Duke, 61-59, in
the 2010 title game.
The Bulldogs simply could not
buy a basket, particularly inside
the three-point arc, where they
finished the game just 3 of 31.
They shot 12 of 64 (18.8 percent)
for the game.
After leading by three points at
intermission, Butler connected
on just 2 of its first 25 shots in the
second half, going without a
point, scoring just three in a span
of 13 minutes, 25 seconds.
The Huskies capitalized on the
poor shooting to outscore Butler
by 22-3 and took a 41-28 lead on a
baseline jumper by Alex Oriakhi
with 7:33 to play. They later ex-
tended their lead to 14 on Oriak-
hi’s three-point play with 5:49 re-
maining.
Butler got back-to-back threes
from Shelvin Mack to close to
within eight, 49-41, with 1:32 to
play, but theHuskies successfully
ran down the clock. Jeremy
Lamb hoisted the ball skyward as
the buzzer sounded.
Kemba Walker shot just 5 of 19
but led the Huskies with 16
points and nine rebounds. Lamb
added12andOriakhi had11, with
11 rebounds. Mack was the only
Bulldog in double figures, scor-
ing13 points but hitting on just 4
of 15 shots.
Matt Howard, Butler’s senior
big man, hit just 1of 13 shots and
scored seven points.
Points were difficult to come
by in the first half, which ended
with Butler holding a 22-19 lead.
It marked the fewest combined
points inthe first half of anNCAA
championship game since Okla-
homa State led North Carolina,
23-17, in the 1946 final.
The Huskies’ 19 points were
the fewest for a first half in a title
game since California scoredthat
many in 1960.
Butler got away with a cold
start, making only one of its first
nine shots. But the Bulldogs
pressed the issue at the start of
the second half as well, connect-
ing on just one of their first 15
shots, including 13 consecutive
misses.
After trailing by six when
ChaseStigall hit atreyonButler’s
first possession, the Huskies ran
off eight consecutive points.
Lamb sank a three-pointer and
Walker hit a free throwto end the
run with 16:19 remaining and
UConn leading, 28-26.
After a Butler free throw, the
Huskies scored six more, includ-
ing Lamb’s dunk off a steal and
his short baseline jumper, to in-
crease their margin to seven, 33-
26, with 12:55 to play.
In the first half, the Bulldogs
shot 1of 13 frominside the three-
point arc, got outrebounded by
27-18, yielded11offensive boards
to the Huskies, and still found a
way to take the lead at halftime.
Mack provided the margin with a
three-pointer at the buzzer.
The Bulldogs bailed them-
selves out with 5-of-14 three-
point shooting. They wound up
going plus-15 from deep because
UConnmissedall five of its three-
ball tries. That made the Huskies
1of 17 for their three halves of Fi-
nal Four competition.
If the stats don’t convince you,
believe this: The first 20 minutes
were ugly.
Walker and Mack, the top
scorers for each team, collective-
ly missed their first nine shots
from the floor. Walker finally got
on the board with a jumper from
near the right elbow at the 13:08
mark. Mack sank a free throwbut
didn’t pick up his initial field goal
until he drained a trey with 4:15
left in the half.
Both players led their teams
with seven points at the break.
Walker connected on just 3 of 11
and missed both his three-point
attempts. Mack missed both his
two-point attempts and went 2 of
5 from deep.
The Huskies had the better of
the shooting (29.0 percent) and
rebounding. But even with 11 of-
fensive rebounds, they managed
just four second-chance points
compared to seven for Butler.
Walker’s three-point play with
12:34 to play gave Connecticut its
largest lead of the half, 13-8. But
sophomore guard Chase Stigall,
whohas startedeveryNCAAcon-
test but had seen just 16 minutes
of playing time per game in the
previous five, knocked down a
three-ball to cap an 8-2 run and
give Butler a 16-15 lead with 7:20
remaining.
UCONN
Continued from Page 1B
managed only 13 points. Lead-
ing scorer Matt Howard was
held to seven on 1-of-13 shoot-
ing.
The Bulldogs (28-10) were
hoping to avenge last year’s
heartbreak, when Gordon Hay-
ward’s half-court shot at the
buzzer bounced off the rim in a
61-59 loss to Duke.
Instead, Butler showed why
the little guys have never won
the biggest prize.
UConn’s big men Alex Oriak-
hi, Tyler Olander and Charles
Okwandu didn’t let the Bull-
dogs anywhere near the paint.
Whenever a Butler player did
get close to the rim, one of the
Huskies was there to muscle the
ball away or force an off-balance
shot. That UConn finished with
a 26-2 edge scoring in the paint
was a surprise only in that But-
ler actually got a basket inside.
Things weren’t much better
elsewhere on the floor.
The Bulldogs had two other
buckets from inside the arc, and
they were 9 of 33 from 3-point
range. They had scoring
droughts that lasted what
seemed like an eternity.
As the UConn players raced
off the bench and confetti fell,
Butler quietly left the court, dis-
appointed yet again — but in an
entirely different way.
Butler shot just 22 percent in
the first half, and had no points
in the paint or on the fast break,
yet still managed to take a 22-19
lead thanks to Mack’s 3-pointer
just before the buzzer. As the
ball swished through the net, he
turned and screamed at the But-
ler bench, and did a flying chest
bump with Ronald Nored as
they ran off the court.
But that would be about it for
the highlights. After Chase Sti-
gall opened with a 3 in the sec-
ond half, the Bulldogs would
make only one more field goal
over the next 12-plus minutes.
Not that they didn’t have
their chances, but the basket
may as well have been a slit for
as much success as they had.
The Huskies, meanwhile, fig-
ured out a way to break Butler’s
oppressive defense and started
making their shots — just
enough of them to deliver a na-
tional championship.

HOUSTON — Dennis Rod-
man earned plenty of labels dur-
ing his sometimes turbulent
NBA career.
Here’s one the player who cre-
ated chaos on — and sometimes
off — the court never expected:
Hall of Famer. Rodman head-
lined the Naismith Memorial
Basketball Hall of Fame’s 2011
class announced on Monday at
the Final Four, a group that in-
cludes former Dream Team
member Chris Mullin and Stan-
ford coach Tara VanDerveer.
“It’s just unreal,” Rodman said.
And somewhat unexpected, at
least to the two-time NBADefen-
sive Player of the Year and five-
time NBA champion who be-
lieved his extracurricular activ-
ities —including donning a wed-
ding dress to marry himself and
kicking a photographer in the
groin — would overshadow his
on-the-court accomplishments.
“I looked at the way I am, and I
thought I wouldn’t get in,” Rod-
man said.
Also part of the class were:
coaches Tex Winter, innovator of
the triangle offense, and Phila-
delphia University’s Herb Ma-
gee; longtime NBAand ABAstar
Artis Gilmore; former Portland
TrailBlazers center Arvydas Sa-
bonis; Olympic gold medalist Te-
resa Edwards; HarlemGlobetrot-
ter Reece “Goose” Tatum; and
BostonCeltic Tom“Satch” Sand-
ers.
Winter refined the triangle of-
fense and helped the Chicago
Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers
win nine NBA championships as
an assistant to Phil Jackson. He
retired following the 2006 sea-
son, capping a career that includ-
ed a successful stint at Kansas
State, where he led the Wildcats
to two Final Fours.
Winter learned the triangle
while playing for Sam Barry at
USCin the 1940s then spent dec-
ades tweaking it. The system fo-
cused on sharing the ball and al-
lowed Michael Jordan and Scot-
tie Pippen to flourish with the
Bulls. He later followed Jackson
to the Lakers, where the triangle
let Kobe Bryant and Shaquille
O’Neal cohabitate successfully
on their way to three straight ti-
tles.
When informed of the honor
last week, Rodman thought it
was a prank. He figured there
was no way the voters could get
past his outlandish antics and fo-
cus on a career in which he be-
came one of the best rebounders
in league history.
“They lookedpast all the nega-
tivity and thought ’wow, he ac-
tually did change the game a lit-
tle bit,”’ said Rodman, who aver-
aged13.1rebounds a game while
playing for five teams. “I wasn’t a
goodscorer. I wasn’t the best ath-
lete. But I was part of the ma-
chine.”

RICHMOND, Va. — VCU
coach Shaka Smart is staying
with the Rams after leading
them on a surprising Final Four
run.
The school said Monday that
Smart has agreed to a new
eight-year contract at VCU. De-
tails of that deal will be re-
leased once the contract is
signed.
“True to form, Coach Smart’s
primary concerns were about
his players, coaches and the
overall support of the basket-
ball program,” VCU athletic di-
rector Norwood Teague said in
a statement. “We are honored
that he has decided to stay a
VCU Ram. He exemplifies ev-
erything that is right about col-
lege athletics, and VCU is ec-
static about the future under
his leadership.”
The second-year coach led
VCU from one of the “First
Four” games in the NCAA tour-
nament to upsets of prominent
programs including George-
town, Purdue and Kansas to re-
ach the Final Four. VCU (28-12)
became only the third No. 11
seed to get that far, losing to
Butler 70-62 in Saturday’s na-
tional semifinals.
Making that run even more
impressive: Four of the Rams’
five tournament wins came by
double-digit margins, including
the 71-61 win against the top-
seeded Jayhawks for the South-
west Regional championship.
That run had Smart frequent-
ly mentioned for other coach-
ing vacancies. Team spokesman
Scott Day said North Carolina
State had recently offered
Smart the job to replace Sidney
Lowe, who resigned in March.
“I’m extremely grateful for
the belief that (VCU president
Michael Rao) and Norwood
Teague have shown and contin-
ue to show in our coaching
staff and basketball program,”
Smart said in a statement.
“Their support, in addition to
the bright future that our stu-
dent-athletes possess, makes
VCU a very special place for me
to be the head basketball coach.
I’m very excited about the op-
portunities that lie ahead for
both our program and our uni-
versity.”
Smart, who turns 34 on Fri-
day, has a 55-21 record at VCU
and led the Rams to the CBI
championship in his first year.
The 55 wins are the most for
any two-year span in program
history and it marked the first
year VCU won more than one
game in the NCAA tournament.
The school has said Smart
had a base salary of $325,000
this season and was due to
make $640,000 in all due to
performance bonuses.

SAN FRANCISCO — Prosecu-
tors in the federal case against
Barry Bonds say a key witness
has rediscovered the tape of a se-
cretly recorded conversation
with the slugger’s doctor, spark-
ing a fight between the govern-
ment and defense lawyers over
whether the new material can be
included at a trial years in the
making.
On a day when there was no
testimony because a juror was ill,
the government said Monday
that former Bonds business part-
ner Steve Hoskins found a cas-
sette recording of his conversa-
tion with Dr. Arthur Ting.
Prosecutors, hopingtocounter
Ting’s testimony last week that
he never discussed Bonds’ al-
legedsteroidusewithHoskins —
who insisted they had — said
bothmenmight berecalledtothe
witness stand.
“This will never come into evi-
dence,” Bonds’ lead lawyer, Allen
Ruby, told U.S. District Judge Su-
san Illston.
The trial began March 21, and
prosecutors had planned to rest
their case Monday with Dr. Don
Catlin, former head of the UCLA
Olympic Analytical Laboratory.
But they now plan to call three
lab workers, raising the govern-
ment’s witness total to 25. That,
plus the new evidence, makes it
likelythecasewon’t gotothejury
before next week.
Hoskins, the government’s sec-
ond witness, testified he record-
ed a conversation with Ting dis-
cussing Bonds and steroids in
2003 or 2004, after federal agents
raided the Bay Area Laboratory
Co-Operative (BALCO). BALCO
was found to be the center of a
steroids distribution ring, of
which Bonds’ personal trainer
was a part.
Ting testified last week that he
had only one, general conversa-
tion with Hoskins about steroids
and he denied Hoskins’ testimo-
ny that the two hadas many as 50
discussions about Bonds andper-
formance-enhancing drugs.
Hoskins, a childhood friend of
Bonds, testified that he had re-
corded a conversation with Ting
but the recording had been lost.
Prosecutors saidhe locatedit last
weekend and sent an email at 11
p.m. on Sunday notifying the de-
fense of the find.
“He found (it) on the B side —
this is a microcassette,” Assistant
U.S. Attorney Matthew Parrella
said. “Helocatedatapeof himself
discussing with Dr. Ting soon af-
ter the BALCO search warrants
were executed.”
Parrella, who did not offer
more details on how Hoskins lo-
cated the tape, said the govern-
ment may ask to recall “either
Steve Hoskins, Dr. Ting or both
in order to nail down this issue,
so there is an accurate presenta-
tion of these conversations that
went on.”
Defense lawyer Cristina Ar-
guedas said the recording had
been subject to a grand jury sub-
poena in 2005 and questioned
why it hadn’t been turned over to
the defense until now.
The defense planned to send
the microcassette, along with the
recorder anda government repre-
sentative, toits expert lab. Parrel-
la gave a preliminary transcript,
which he said was incomplete, to
the defense, along with a digital
copy of the recording, but neither
was publicly released.
Arguedas and prosecutors al-
ready were clashing over the
prosecution’s failure to disclose
notes of a 2006 interview with
Ting, two days before his grand
jury testimony. Assistant U.S. At-
torney Jeffrey Nedrow main-
tained last week the meeting
wasn’t substantive, but the de-
fense gave the court a statement
from Matthew Jacobs, a former
lawyer for Ting, stating the ses-
sion “was substantive and lasted
approximately three hours.”
Illston wanted to know “why a
report wasn’t generated?” Ne-
drow maintained it would be du-
plicative to take notes of meet-
ings prior to testimony.
Bonds, baseball’s season and
career home run leader, is
charged with four counts of mak-
ing false statements and one
count of obstruction of justice for
telling a grand jury in 2003 that
he never knowingly used per-
formance-enhancing drugs and
received injections only from
physicians.
The eighth day of testimony
was postponed because juror No.
66 — names won’t be revealed
until the day after a verdict —
was sick with kidney stones.

Details from the Fed
The Federal Reserve releases the minutes from its
March 15 meeting, when the central bank gave its
most optimistic view of the U.S. economy since the
recession. There probably won’t be
any surprises in the minutes, but
investors will be interested in the
details that went into the Fed’s
assessment. They’ll also
want to see if Fed officials
discussed ending their
$600 billion bond-buying
program as scheduled.
The program is set to
end in June.
A view of the housing market
When KB Home releases its first-
quarter earnings report, investors
will want to know more about the
future rather than the last few
months. The company said in its
fourth-quarter report that orders
and completed sales fell sharply.
With the big home selling season
under way now that spring is here,
investors want to hear how sales
are going. No one expects a re-
covery in housing anytime soon,
but there is hope for some incre-
mental improvement.
A look at service companies
The Institute for Supply man-
agement releases its report on
the service sector in March.
This report covers companies
like retailers, banks and health
care providers. The ISM com-
piles its report from a survey of
the executives who do pur-
chasing for these companies.
Investors will want to see what
they have to say about hiring
plans, since the survey covers
about 90 percent of the
nation’s work force.

E-mail warnings are out
With the possible theft of millions of
e-mail addresses from an advertising
company, several large companies have
started warning customers to expect
fraudulent emails that try to coax ac-
count login information from them.
Companies behind such brands as
Chase, Citi and Best Buy said over the
weekend that hackers may have
learned their e-mail addresses because
of a security breach at a Dallas-based
company called Epsilon that manages
e-mail communications.
The e-mail addresses could be used
to target spam. It’s also a standard
tactic among online fraudsters to send
e-mails to random people, purporting
to be from a large bank and asking
them to log in at a site that looks like
the bank’s site. Instead, the fraudulent
site captures their login information
and uses it to access the real account.
The data breach could make these
so-called “phishing” attacks more effi-
cient, by allowing the fraudsters to
target people who actually have an
account with the bank.
The College Board, the not-for-profit
organization that runs the SATs, also
warned that a hacker may have ob-
tained student e-mail addresses. Other
companies, including Marriott In-
ternational, New York and Co. and
Walgreen Co., were also impacted.
Epsilon said the breach exposed
e-mail addresses and customer names
but no other personal information.
AirTran performance cited
Low-cost carrier AirTran had the
best overall performance of the 16
largest U.S. carriers last year in an
annual study of airline quality.
Hawaiian Airlines — ranked first the
previous two years — was bumped
down to second place in the study. The
survey was released Monday.
The study is based on Department of
Transportation data on on-time per-
formance, mishandled baggage, bump-
ings due to overbooking and consumer
complaints.
Overall, airlines improved their per-
formance in 2010, with fewer lost bags
and bumped passengers and more
on-time arrivals. But consumer com-
plaints were up.
Mickey D’s hiring 50,000
McDonald’s Corp. will hold its first
national hiring day April 19 to fill
50,000 openings at its restaurants na-
tionwide.
The company, based in Oak Brook,
Ill., says it is making a concerted effort
to add staff as its business improves
and as more of its restaurants stay
open 24 hours a day.
McDonald’s is hiring restaurant crew
and management for full-time and
part-time positions. The company’s
hiring goal translates to between three
and four new hires per restaurant.
Turnover slowed in the past few
years because of the weak economy,
the company says. McDonald’s sees
this event an opportunity to attract
employees in a tough job market.
Those who are interested can apply
in stores or online. Some restaurants
will hold events and interviews that
day.

WELL, IT LOOKS
like wonders may
never cease. Two
venerable staples of
the ’80s and early
’90s computer in-
dustry are on their
way back from the
grave.
The first thing I have to say is
that I love the concept. I’m just
old enough to recall Commodore
and Amiga computers, and I can
remember the performance of the
Amigas in particular, putting PCs
and Macs alike to shame.
And, as always, what once was
old has become new again.
Commodore is returning with an
array of retro products, from the
updated Commodore 64, which
features the iconic case and key-
board of the original, to the sleek
Commodore Phoenix, with a com-
pact aluminum case.
These computers have been up-
dated with DVD drives, HD graph-
ics and audio cards, and offer the
performance of Windows 7, all
while fitting in the relatively com-
pact confines of the unified key-
board/case. A practical solution
back then, when monitors were
little better than televisions, and
again today,
when computers
are fully capable
of driving a
1080i display.
They both fea-
ture multiple
USB ports, Wi-
Fi, Ethernet, and HDMI ports.
The updated Commodore 64 is
powered by an Intel Atom proc-
essor, while the higher-end Phoe-
nix is powered by dual or quad-
core Intel processors, and can ac-
commodate up to 2 terabytes of
storage.
The Amiga line of products will
reportedly feature high-perform-
ance graphics cards and proces-
sors, with optional OLED displays.
This is an interesting trend –
retro-style computers – a niche to
be sure, but one that just might
succeed.

er on the QR code found in this

Commodore, Amiga return from the dead looking pretty lively
Nick DeLorenzo is director of Interactive
and New Media for The Times Leader. Write
him at [email protected].
The updated Commodore and Amiga
computers aren’t available just yet.
They were originally slated to be re-
leased last Christmas, but that launch
date was pushed back a bit.
THE WAIT IS ON
The seasonally adjusted un-
employment rate for the tri-
county region that includes
Lackawanna, Luzerne and
Wyoming dipped to 9 percent
in February, the lowest rate
since August 2009 when it
stood at 8.9 percent.
The one-tenth of one per-
centage point improvement
marked the fifth consecutive
month-to-month decline, but
not enough to move the region
out of the top spot of the state’s
14 metro areas in terms of un-
employment.
The data, which will be
made public today by the De-
partment of Labor and Indus-
try’s Center for Workforce In-
formation & Analysis, showed
that 12 of the state’s 14 metro
areas saw unemployment rate
declines in February. Only Lan-
caster, which jumped up one-
tenth of one percent, and State
College, which rose two-tenths
of one percent, showed in-
creased rates. State College,
even with the largest percent-
age increase in the state, still
has the lowest rate by a full per-
centage point over Lebanon.
The figures in the report
show the metro area’s season-
ally adjusted labor force grew
by 500 workers to 281,600.
Thehardest hit sector inFeb-
ruary locally – as it was inJanu-
ary, as well -- was retail, which
saw a loss of 800 jobs as stores
continued to lay off temporary
seasonal workers. That sector
is still up 400 jobs when com-
pared to February 2010.
Other sectors with big gains
or losses included:
• Mining, logging, and con-
struction, which saw jobs rise
by100 over the monthto8,200.
This was the first monthly gain
since July 2010.
• Educational services, up
1,400, and local government
educational services, up 400,
experienced typical seasonal
increases with schools return-
ing from winter break.
• Professional and business
services rose by 200 to 26,300
jobs. The supersector was up
2,600 jobs fromFebruary 2010,
by far the largest over-the-year
growth of any supersector in
the metro statistical area.
Steven Zellers, an analyst
with the Center for Workforce
Information & Analysis, said
the continued movement in
the right direction should be
viewed as a positive even
thoughthepacehas been“slow
and incremental.”
“We are slowly but surely
getting better,” Zellers said.
“We are slowly coming out of
it.”

DETROIT — Cars made by Japa-
nese manufacturers will be in short
supply in showrooms this spring and
summer because of
last month’s earth-
quake and tsunami,
the headof the large-
st U.S. dealership
chain said Monday.
AutoNation Inc.
CEO Mike Jackson
said in an interview
with The Associated Press that cus-
tomers will first see shortages of ve-
hicles made exclusively in Japan.
Then parts shortages will slowdown
production of Japanese-brand cars
assembled in North America.
The March11disaster mostly dam-
agedautoparts factories inthe north-
eastern part of Japan, the world’s sec-
ond-largest supplier of cars andparts.
But shortages of those components,
plus disruptions of electricity and
water, have forced car plants in that
nation to close or limit production
for nearly a month.
Jackson said automakers have told
him that the car shortages will last
anywhere from two to four months,
and AutoNation should expect a 30-
to-50 percent cut in shipments of Ja-
panese-brand models.
Industry analysts say Detroit auto-
makers, which also get parts fromJa-
panese suppliers, will start tosee pro-
duction cuts as well because of the
earthquake.

4:35 p.m. April 13, two hours before the
first pitch of the home opener game be-
tween the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yan-
kees and the Buffalo Bisons.
SWB Yankees President Kristen Rose
said those familiar with the Legends at
PNC Field menu in 2009 won’t see too
many changes. She said typical ball
game fare will be joinedby steaks, pizza,
salads and more.
She saidthat while the affiliationwith
Bo Brothers was a good one, she under-
stood the Wyoming restaurant’s deci-
sion not to renew its contract.
“It’s a tough challenge in the off-sea-
son,” Rose said. She said that while Leg-
ends Hospitality Management, which
has the contract to operate stadiumcon-
cessions and the restaurant, continued
talks with Bo Brothers, the eatery decid-
ed to forego a second year at the park.
“It was their decisiontostickwithone
location,” Rose said.
Twomessages left for James Ruby, co-
owner of Bo Brothers, were not immedi-
ately returned Monday.
Ruby, in an interview in January with
The Times Leader, indicated he would
prefer to operate the restaurant during
the baseball season only and not have a
lease that lasts through the winter
months when business is dead.
At the time, Ruby said that during the
baseball season, and even on weekends
intheoff-season, business was brisk. But
on weekdays in the off-season, the res-
taurant was empty. “People don’t come
in there during the week,” Ruby said. “If
there’s no games, people just don’t think
about that place.”
Rose said the new restaurant will op-
erateunder asimilar scheduletotheone
Ruby proposed.
She said it will be open only on game
days and not until two hours before the
first pitch. Even on weekends, when the
Yankess are not at home, the venue will
be closed.
Prior to Legends at PNC Field, The
Stadium Club was the name of the res-
taurant at the stadium. That restaurant
closedinJanuary 2009 after a lawsuit fil-
ed by the team against the operator. It
reopened on Opening Day with the new
Legends name and a new operator.
BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

StocksRecap
Mid-cap doesn’t mean middling. Here are three
well-known companies in the index:
Office Depot
Office Depot’s stock is down 91 percent from its May 2006 peak
of $44.46. That forced it out of the S&P 500. It’s now at $4.17. A
stronger economy is expected to lift the stock. Samuel Dedio, a
fund manager at Artio Global Management, says that when
more businesses get loans, they’ll buy more office supplies,
computers and furniture.
Green Mountain Coffee
Green Mountain has had big success with its single-serve
Keurig coffee makers. Its stock is at $66.53, up 52 percent since
March 10, when the company said it would sell Starbucks
coffee for the machines. The jump sent its market cap to $8.7
billion. It’s one of the largest companies in the index.
BorgWarner
The auto parts maker’s stock is up 108 percent in the last year.
It’s now at $81.66. Some analysts have a target price of $110,
which would mean it could rise another 35 percent. BorgWarner
makes one-third of the turbochargers in the world. They’re in
demand because of the growing need for more efficient engines.
Who’s In It

Investors love small companies that
have good growth prospects and large
companies that have a long history of
doing well. But don’t ignore stocks in the
S&P Mid Cap 400 index. It’s up 10 per-
cent this year. The S&P 500 is up 6 per-
cent. Mid caps are often seen as having
more potential to grow than large caps.
Mid caps are loosely defined as com-
panies with a market capitalization
between $1 billion and $4.4 billion.
Some S&P 400 companies are worth
more because they’ve grown since join-
ing the index. Some will one day join the
S&P 500. Forty-five percent of the com-
panies added to the S&P 500 between
2007 and 2010 were in the S&P 400.
(Companies don’t automatically move
up. There has to be a slot they can fill.)
Other mid caps used to be giants. In
the last five years, 21 companies have
fallen out of the S&P 500. Eastman
Kodak was bumped in December after
its stock fell 41 percent in eight months.

Four employees of the company’s
Gulfstream plane-making division
died after a luxury business aircraft
crashed during a test flight.
The pharmaceutical company is
selling its capsule-making business
to private equity firm Kohlber Kravis
Roberts for $2.38 billion.
The airline canceled 600 flights and
will likely cancel more as it checks
jets for cracks following a rupture in
a Boeing 737-300 fuselage.
A light trading day on Wall Street ended with
slight gains and losses for major indexes. Oil
reached a 30-month high of $108 a barrel.
Some investors are waiting for Alcoa Inc. to re-
port its first quarter earnings next Monday be-
fore making any big moves. The Dow rose 0.2
percent. The S&P 500 index rose less than a
point. The Nasdaq fell less than a point. Pfizer
rose less than 1 percent after saying it would
sell a unit to a private equity firm.

We've just had
the warmest
night so far this
year, and the
rain moving
through this
morning is along
a cold front that
will plow the
warm air out of
town by 9 a.m.
Rain will contin-
ue for a brief
time this morn-
ing, behind the
front, followed
by clearing this
afternoon.
Rainfall totals
will range
between 3 and 8
tenths of an
inch. After skies
go clear tonight,
temperatures
will drop below
freezing tomor-
row morning.
With a boundary
between warm
and cold air
close by later
this week, we
will have more
April showers
later Wednesday,
and again on
Friday. But, I
must emphasize
that there is no
chance of having
any more snow
this week.
- Tom Clark
NATIONAL FORECAST: A vigorous frontal boundary moving off the Atlantic Coast will produce
widespread precipitation and strong winds in the East. Thunderstorms will be likely closer to the
coast with rain extending inland as far as the Ohio Valley. Meanwhile, a frontal boundary in the
Northwest will be responsible for scattered showers throughout the region.

Help for picky eaters
Does your 2-year-old eat
octopus? Congratulations,
you don’t need this book.
For the parents who
introduce and reintroduce
broccoli the recommended
15 times — with less than
stellar results — there’s a
safe haven here. “The
Cleaner Plate Club”
(Storey Publishing) won’t
tell you that you’re a bad
parent because your kid is
a picky eater. Authors Beth
Bader and Ali Benjamin
won’t brag about how their
own kids gulp down sushi
or delight in mommy’s
made-from-scratch carrot
soufflé.
They’ll just show you
how to make simple, deli-
cious, kid-friendly food,
and support you in your
efforts to get it on the
table.
IN BRIEF
Q: I’ma nursing stu-
dent who took care of a
homeless man who
developed alcohol
withdrawal and “re-
feeding syndrome.”
Can you tell me more?
—A.R., Atlanta, Ga.
A: “Refeeding syndrome” can be seen
in anyone who is profoundly malnour-
ished. It was first seen in WWII concen-
tration camp victims who died soon after
refeeding.
This man had been breaking down
muscle and fat for calories. When he was
admitted to the hospital, nutritional
support was started. Predictably, about
four days later, marked electrolyte (espe-
cially a plummeting phosphate level) and
fluid imbalances occurred. It happened
due to a shift frombreaking down his
own fat/muscle for fuel to breaking down
carbohydrates fromfood he received.
There was a sudden increase in insulin
levels after refeeding and a dramatic
response by the body to try to store this
newfuel in the liver and skeletal muscle
for energy.
As part of this refeeding, there’s a huge
production of “ATP” (adenosine triphos-
phate), the phosphate-rich molecule of
energy that every cell uses for fuel. While
that sounds good, the problemis that the
red blood cells don’t get their fair share of
phosphate and become fuel-depleted.
This all leads to organ damage and
dysfunction to the heart, brain, lungs and
nervous system.
Treatment of refeeding syndrome
involves aggressive replacement —espe-
cially phosphate, magnesium, thiamine
and potassium. Severely malnourished
folks should only receive 50-70 percent of
their caloric needs during the first five
days.
Q: What do you think of chamomile
tea to help with sleep?
—A.G., West PalmBeach, Fla.
A: Chamomile tea, warmmilk, melato-
nin and soothing music/sounds are
natural remedies that help those who
have minimal trouble falling asleep.
Unfortunately, there are many folks who
do require a prescription sleep medica-
tion when milder treatments fail for
reasons such as depression, anxiety,
situational stress or a chronic pain condi-
tion.
There is no evidence that the herb
possesses any bioactive properties that
can induce calm. There is, however, test
tube evidence that chamomile has some
bacteria-killing properties and some
effect on platelet clumping. This has not
yet been demonstrated in a human study,
but bears further investigation.
ASK DR. H
M I T C H E L L H E C H T
‘Refeeding’ can
cause ill effects
for malnourished
Dr. Mitchell Hecht is a physician specializing
in internal medicine. Send questions to him
at: “Ask Dr. H,” P.O. Box 767787, Atlanta, GA
30076. Personal replies are not possible.
Inthepast several years, many
doctors have advanced the no-
tion that it’s safest to start hor-
mone therapy soon after meno-
pause, whenwomenaremost ea-
gertofindrelief fromhot flashes,
mood swings and insomnia.
And indeed, there’s good evi-
dence that the potential benefits
of hormone therapy (stronger
bones, less heart disease and
others) outweigh the potential
risks (blood clots, stroke and
more) during this period, ac-
cording to a newscientific state-
ment fromthe Endocrine Socie-
ty.
But there’s animportant wrin-
kle: Recent research shows that
women who start the most com-
montypeof hormonetherapy—
estrogen plus progestin — soon
after menopause have a signifi-
cantly higher risk of breast can-
cer than those who take the hor-
mones later or not at all.
Soon after menopause: The
evidence suggests that taking
these hormones for five years
soon after menopause (within
five years after menopause is
complete) will cause an addi-
tional seven out of 1,000 women
to develop breast cancer, com-
pared with women who forgo
hormone treatment, according
to Dr. Richard Santen, lead au-
thor of the Endocrine Society’s
newstatement onhormonether-
apy.
Studies indicate that 15 out of
every 1,000 women who do not
take hormones in the five years
following menopause will be di-
agnosed with breast cancer. In
general, as women age, their un-
derlyingriskof breast cancer ris-
Early hormone replacement therapy
may increase risk of breast cancer

Having surgery can make anyone
nervous, but knowingwhat toexpect

to make the experience a lot less
scary, said Judy Ragukas, clinical di-
rector of thecenter. “Our patients are

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was
held March 30 to inaugurate the new,
state-of-the-art, 10-bedunit locatedon
the hospital’s fifth floor. As the only
dedicated joint replacement center of
its kind in the region, the Joint Re-

AreYou Suffering With Pain,Tingling, or
Numbness inYour Feet or Ankles?
Do what Ed Labatch did…He Called The Neuropathy Center!
FREE
Consultation
“I had very little feeling in my legs and
feet that I couldn’t even drive. After
treatment at the Neuropathy Center I
can not only drive again but enjoy life
like I used to… without pain.”
I had neuropathy in my legs and had very little feel-
ing to the point that I couldn’t even drive my car. I
suffered for about three years. I couldn’t stand very
long or do many of the regular activities that I loved
to do with my wife. I found that I sat around a lot.
I wanted so badly to get my life back to the way I
remembered it so when I saw the ad in the paper
for the Neuropathy Center I made an appointment
right away.
After meeting with the professional staff at the Neu-
ropathy Center I knew that there was hope for me.
After just my second treatment I felt life in my legs
again. I couldn’t believe it!
The Neuropathy Center has changed my life in so
many ways.
My experience has been terrific! Now my wife Betty
and I can continue to enjoy our active life doing the
things we love including Polka dancing!!
I would highly recommend anyone who is suffering
from Neuropathy pain to make an appointment to-
day. Their caring staff were never to busy to answer
any & all of my questions…in fact we always look
forward to our visit.

PAULA found
Fred running
loose in her
neighborhood
about four
years ago.
She had the
French lop
rabbit neutered and gave
him free roam of the house
during the day.
Over the past few weeks,
Paula has noticed a whitish
discharge in the inner cor-
ner of Fred’s eye. She has
been wiping it out with a
tissue, and lately has had to
do so many times a day.
She also has noticed Fred is
losing hair on his nasal
bridge on the right side,
just below the eye, and he
now rubs his eye frequently.
It sounds like Fred is
dealing with an infection in
his nasolacrimal duct, which
drains tears into the nose
and out to the back of the
throat. If there is a problem
with the duct, the tears do
not drain properly and fall
out of the eye instead. This
is fairly common in dogs
and cats. In Fred’s case,
there may be a blockage of
the duct, but that should
not cause the thick dis-
charge. Instead, the dis-
charge should be clear and
thin, as are normal tears. I
think Fred has dacriocysti-
tis.
I can hear you now: What
the heck is dacriocystitis?
This is inflammation of the
nasolacrimal duct. It usually
is caused by a bacterial in-
fection. Bacteria will colo-
nize the duct, causing in-
flammation and then an
inflammatory response from
the body. This response will
include white blood cells,
which in Fred’s case are the
likely reason Paula is seeing
the whitish discharge. It is
likely pus.
Fred needs a physical ex-
amination, paying close at-
tention to the nasal bridge
area forward of the affected
eye. There can be swelling
there associated with the
inflammation and occlusion
of the duct. Diagnostics
need to include a sample of
the discharge for microscop-
ic examination and a culture
for bacteria.
If bacteria are found, ap-
propriate antibiotics should
be given both topically and
orally. One important step
that will be necessary, espe-
cially if the duct is blocked,
is a thorough flushing of
the duct. This requires an-
esthesia and, once accom-
plished, will allow the top-
ical antibiotics to be placed
in the eye and then drain
through the nasolacrimal
duct treating the bacteria
within.
These can be difficult
cases to cure and sometimes
can lead to severe infections
that do not respond to ap-
propriate therapy. That said,
if they are treated early in
their progression, they are
more likely to be controlled.
Recurrence is common, how-
ever, and intermittent treat-
ments may be necessary to
bring about long-term con-
trol.

Vegetables are important for a
gooddiet —theycanreducerisk
of stroke, heart disease and
somecancers andcancontribute
to healthy weight.
The people at TOPS (Take
Pounds Off Sensibly), a nonprof-
it weight-loss support group,
came up with a Top 10 list of
ways to get more veggies in your
diet. Some you may already do
and some may be new ideas:
1. Make a “pasta” dish with
spaghetti squash instead of noo-
dles.
2. Puree cooked vegetables
and add them to stews, gravies,
and soups.
3. Add rawspinach leaves and
an extra-ripe banana to a fruit
smoothie. It may sound strange,
but the sweetness of the banana
masks the taste of the spinach.
4. Baking? Add shredded car-
rots to muffins or bread.
5. Instead of cheese and meat,
pile your morning omelet with
onions, mushrooms, andredand
green peppers. Chop vegetables
the night before to save time in
the morning.
6. Add chopped spinach to
meat when preparing meatballs
or hamburgers.
7. Try mashed cauliflower in-
stead of mashed potatoes. Ex-
periment with different flavor-
ings such as garlic, a dab of but-
ter, and Parmesan cheese.
8. Addsalsa to a breakfast bur-
rito, pile it on a veggie burger, or
use it inplace of high-fat, creamy
vegetable dips.
9. Puree pasta sauce with veg-
etables such as winter squash or
chopped broccoli.
10. Add chopped carrots to
casseroles or meat loaf.

Later after menopause: By con-
trast, an extra four out of 1,000
women who take estrogen plus
progestin for five years later after
menopause(at least fiveto10years
afterthischangeof life)arelikelyto
experience breast cancer, noted
Santen, a professor of medicine at
the University of Virginia Health
System.
Why would the timing of hor-
mone therapy make a difference
when it comes to breast cancer?
The answer lies partly with es-
trogen, which “promotes the
growth of almost everything,” ac-
cordingtoDr. James Simon, a clin-
ical professor at George Washing-
ton University.
Whilethat growth-promotingef-
fect may be good for a woman’s
skin, blood vessels and sex organs,
itcanbeharmful if sheharborstiny,
undetectable tumors in her
breasts, Simon observed.
With the onset of menopause,
many of these tumors would have
been deprived of estrogen and ex-
pandedlittle, if atall. Butwhenhor-
mones are administered, tumors
can start growing and become no-
ticeable through mammograms or
physical exams, leading to higher
rates of reported breast cancer, Si-
mon explained.
Progestinis also thought to play
an important role by promoting
cell proliferation and perhaps fuel-
ing the expansion of small tumors’
bloodsupply, saidDr. RowanChle-
bowski, a medical oncologist with
the Los Angeles BioMedical Re-
search Institute at Harbor-UCLA
Medical Center.
Why, then, would breast cancer
risks decline for women who start
hormonetherapylater, after fiveor
more years?
The theory here is that breast
cancer cells deprived of estrogen
for a significant time respond dif-
ferently when they are again ex-
posed to the hormone. Instead of
promoting growth, after a sus-
tainedabsenceestrogenappearsto
wreak havoc on cancer cells and
promote their death, Santen said.
That would help explain why
women who took estrogen only in
the largest randomized controlled
trial of hormonetherapyyet under-
taken — the Women’s Health Ini-
tiative study — had breast cancer
rates 20 to 40 percent below what
was expected. Onaverage, women
in the study had undergone meno-
pausemorethanadozenyears ear-
lier and had thus experienced a
longgapof livingwithout hormon-
es.
Thesamereductionisn’t seenin
the estrogen plus progestin group,
researchers believe, because of the
impact of progestin.
Whentryingtoevaluatethepros
and cons of hormone therapy,
make sure your doctor evaluates
your breast cancer risk before you
starttakinghormones, saidSimon,
who also is president of Women’s
Health &Research Consultants in
Washington, D.C. Most womenex-
aggerate the risk of dying from
breast cancer by a factor of 10, he
noted.
For women age 50 to 59, the
chance of being diagnosed with
breast cancer is 2.38 percent, ac-
cording to statistics from the Na-
tional Cancer Institute.
Put another way, one out of ev-
ery 42 women in this age group is
likelytoreceiveadiagnosis. Evenif
hormones add to this, “we’re still
talking about small risks overall,”
said Dr. Margery Gass, executive
director of the North American
Menopause Society.

placement full circle. Prior to the
surgery,patientsaregivenatourof
thefacilityandmeet themembers
of thejoint team. “Our orthopedic
surgeons performed over five
hundred joint replacements in
2010,” Ragukas said, adding that
the nursingstaff of the orthopedic
department has more than 250
years of combinedexperience.
The center is “patient focused
and family oriented” said Ragu-
kas. Family members are invited
to play an active role in the treat-
ment by participating in the pa-
tient’s experience from the pre-
operative instruction to dis-
chargeplanning. Thepatientand
family member or support per-
son attend a class together to
learn about the surgery and how
to prepare for it. The class is
taught bya nursingstaff that will
care for the patient while in the
hospital, along with other mem-
bers of the care teamincluding a
physical therapist, pharmacist
anda case manager.
“We guide them through each
stepof their treatment plantoas-
sure their expectations are met
duringtheirhospital stay,”Ragu-
kas said. Patients also attend
team therapy sessions, allowing
them to get to know other pa-
tients andshare experiences.
All rooms inthe center are pri-
vate, providing a more spacious
environment for recovery, and to
minimize infections said, Dr. Mi-
chael Raklewicz, chief of orthope-
dic surgery at the hospital and
medical director of the Joint Re-
placement Center. Raklewicz
pointed out that the services re-
ceivedat thecenterarecoveredby
most healthinsurances.
As Baby Boomers age, the pro-
jected number of total joint re-
placements should double or tri-
ple, Raklewiczsaid. “It creates the
perfect storm for more and more
orthopedic surgery,” he said,
pointing out that the number of
joint replacements in our area is
particularlyhigh.
“Baby Boomers demand more
active lifestyles,” Raklewicz said.
“Theyare nolonger satisfiedwith
hobbling along on crutches, walk-
ers and wheelchairs. They de-
mand the freedomof activity that
havinguseful joints canbring.”
The focus of the Joint Replace-
ment Center is to develop a stan-
dardized, streamlined system of
care, said Raklewicz. “The whole
ideaistogeteverybodyrowingthe
boat in the same direction at the
same time,” he said, adding that
the comprehensive treatment
plan ensures efficiency and safety
forthepatient. “Standardizationis

pedics,”hesaid. “That’sthewhole
idea of what joint replacement

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I’m a
21-year-old male
who feels lost and
unfulfilled, and
it’s because I don’t
know what I want
or deserve. I am one
of three adopted
children. I was the child who always
needed the family support system
the most. I come from a not-so-happy
family, one with all its priorities
centered around money. I never felt
the love a child should feel from his
family.
My problem these days is my al-
cohol intake. I can’t stay away from
beer. I drink to forget my family prob-
lems and the fact that I can’t seem to
get anything right.
I dropped out of college because I
don’t have a passion for anything or
anyone. I used to have hobbies — like
writing, photography, etc. — but the
beer has taken away my motivation.
I feel I’m losing my will to keep
trying. I want so badly to keep try-
ing, but my emotions are keeping
me down. I just want something
new, something I can give my all to,
something that won’t hurt me in the
future.
— What Can I Do?
Dear What Can I Do?: I’m glad you
wrote, because I know of a group that
may be able to give you the emotional
support you need to get back on track
and regain control of your life. It’s
Emotions Anonymous. Founded in
1971, it has 850 chapters worldwide
and 450 in the United States. It is a
12-step program for people experienc-
ing emotional difficulties. In these
groups, members help each other by
sharing experiences, strengths and
hopes in order to improve their emo-
tional health. It also offers books and
literature to new and existing groups.
The email address is eainfo(at)
emotionsanonymous.org and its web-
site is www.emotionsanonymous.org.
Dear Abby: Back in second grade
I was friends with “Jessica.” A girl
named “Kristy” started at my school,
and I became friends with her, too.
She didn’t want me to be friendly
with Jessica, and before long I began
to pick on Jessica. It reached the
point where Kristy and two other
girls wrote some mean things about
Jessica on the blacktop. I didn’t write
anything, but I got in trouble, too.
A year or so later I apologized for
what I had done. Jessica said it was
OK, but I continued feeling guilty
over the years for having teased her
and not resisting peer pressure. When
I was in high school, I sent her a mes-
sage online and apologized again.
Although she said again it was OK, I
feel she still holds some resentment,
and I don’t blame her.
We’re both adults now, and I see
her when I shop at the store up the
road from my house. Each time I’m
in the checkout line she’s working in,
I get a cold attitude. I have told her I
was wrong and have tried to make it
up to her. Do I leave it alone or keep
trying to reach out to her?
— Heavy Heart in Maine
Dear Heavy Heart: Find some other
way to expiate your guilt. Jessica has
told you twice that you’re forgiven.
Leave her alone because for you to
keep bringing up what had to have
been a painful chapter in her life at
this point is creepy. If you can’t do
that, then please, shop someplace
else or stand in a different line.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Young man finds himself wandering adrift in a sea of confused emotions
To receive a collection of Abby’s 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 Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Too
much thinking could prevent you
from diving in and getting things
accomplished. You can effec-
tively calm the internal chatter
through exercise, breath work or
being in water.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). No one
is young forever. Whether you
are enjoying your own youth or
someone else’s, revel in it for the
exquisite gift it is. Let the fresh
energy inform all of your senses.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will
benefit from noticing what’s
going on outside of your life and
world. The enlarged perspective
not only helps you to feel better
about your life, but it also allows
you to make an informed move.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your
priorities are obvious. You value
beauty, comfort and quality and
surround yourself with the same.
Your environment will be a lovely
haven for those around you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your mettle
will be tested as you meet with
a situation that requires you to
take a mind-over-matter type
of approach. The task may be
uncomfortable, but if you just do
it, it will be over soon enough.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Assuming that you already know
something would be dangerous
now. Instead, keep your eyes
wide open in the spirit of wonder
and curiosity. This attitude will
lead to amazing good luck.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You
would always rather be one
who brings energy into a room
instead of one who sucks energy
out it. It will take effort, prepara-
tion and a proactive gesture in
order to accomplish this today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are
well aware that you don’t have
to over-spend your hard-earned
cash to dress with style. You’ll
add to your wardrobe, and you
could even come up with a new
signature look.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You love people who don’t
take themselves too seriously,
because it allows you to let your
guard down and just be yourself.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Your most endearing qualities
come to the fore on this carefree
day. You will favorably engage
others, even complete strang-
ers, with your curious, playful
approach.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Your love of beauty disallows
you to purchase anything that
falls short of your standards of
elegance. What you want is not
always immediately affordable,
but eventually you find a way.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll
be doing different types of work
and will benefit from taking a
moment to switch gears between
tasks. Tonight: Remember to
turn up the charm, and you’ll
have social success.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 5).
You’ll display your visionary
powers, and others really catch
on to your train of thought. In
honing your leadership qualities,
you’ll shape the future. Good
luck in May will broaden your
financial horizons. July brings
a welcome change of pace.
Relationships will be a source
of fun and adventure. Leo and
Gemini people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 13, 2, 44,
38 and 16.
